Residents Get Another Look at Concord Comprehensive Plan Recommendations

By Rich Place

Roughly three dozen community members gathered last week to hear an update on the Town of Concord’s Comprehensive Plan process and to voice opinions on recommendations it’s expected to include.

The gathering was the third and final public information meeting before planners with Wendel create a draft comprehensive plan. A final draft must be completed by March 1, although adoption by the town is not confined to a specific schedule.

The meeting last week, held Jan. 18 at the Concord Senior Center, included a presentation by Leann Vogt and Andrew Riley, both of Wendel, that outlined

12 of the most noteworthy recommendations potentially to be included in the draft comprehensive plan. The recommendations varied greatly in scope, from revisions to zoning code to researching the idea of an outdoor performance amphitheater.

The ideas were generated from two previous community meetings, work by the Comprehensive Plan Committee, items still valid from the town’s most recent comprehensive plan — a joint one with the village from 1999 — and some common items from the village’s recently completed plan, according to Vogt.

A recommendation concerning the future of recreation in the town touched on several facets,

including the advisement of evaluating the Rails to Trails project, the research and evaluation of an outdoor performance amphitheater and arts park, and improvements to Community Park.

Vogt said planners with Wendel, in developing these recommendations, had difficulty gauging

the community’s general conscious about the Rails to Trails project.

“What our recommendation will be — it’s not going to say thumbs up or thumbs down to Rails to Trails — it is really honestly to study and further evaluate this,” she said. “This is an opportunity,

slightly different — Horton is coordinating this one without SCA. “Is it going to be the same type of experience and environment? Yes,” Horton said. “But the Arts Center isn’t focused on this one — they are focused right now on fundraising.”

The premise of the meal is to give area residents “an option to do something totally cool and different in town,” Horton said, while also collaborating with local businesses. Plus, the event brings activity for an evening into what is now a vacant storefront in the Union Block.

A Look Back

Skiing at Bluemont

By Alicia Dziak

So many Western New Yorkers have skiing in their blood. While I married into a ski family, instead of being from one myself, I’ve spent the last 20+ years hearing stories about the great times had on the slopes and in the lodges “back in the day” — not only at Kissing Bridge, but at Bluemont as well.

My father-in-law, Dave Dziak, directed the ski schools at both for a time, and some of his stories are reminiscent of what you see in cult classic movies promoting the 1980s ski scene. I’m forever intrigued with abandoned sites and places that have closed up shop, especially a place as large and once-popular as Bluemont, which you can

still see just a short drive from Springville.

Located in the northeastern part of Cattaraugus County off Route 39 in the hills of Yorkshire (Hake’s Bridge area), Blue Mountain opened in 1959 and boasted 800 feet of vertical and eight trails, the longest being 6,600 feet. According to www.nelsap.org, the resort also featured “from 195962 an unconventional, side loading, detachable chairlift, developed to help keep guests warm against the onslaught of the lake effect snow bands coming off from Lake Erie.” It also had limited snowmaking capabilities, giving the ski area an advantage over others in the area at that time.

Bluemont was a popular ski resort located on Creek Road in Yorkshire, just minutes from Springville.

For unconfirmed reasons, Blue Mountain closed in 1962, but in 1968, it reopened under new ownership and a new name: Bluemont. Dave (my fatherin-law), who was hired as

a ski instructor that year, remembers that soon after its opening, the resort hosted a pro race, sponsored by WKBW. “All the big racers in the world were there,” he said. “Thousands of people

showed up for it. Western New York had never seen anything like it.”

During the ‘71-’72 season, a fire destroyed the lodge and Bluemont was

A HEALTHIER 2018 YOU

Diet Concerts Fads Holiday

By Carlee Frank

It’s week five of a Healthier 2018 You, and I hope your mind and body are feeling the improvements! Did you implement stretching into your daily routine last week? You might have reached into your first stretch only to realize you could barely touch your calves—but don’t be disheartened. Each time you stretch you will feel your muscles loosening and your mobility

increase. So keep at it!

Today, we’re diving back into healthy dieting. So many of us want to lose weight, fit into our “goal jeans” or slim down for the summer, so we look for a quick fix.

These are the fad diets of the 21st century— the juice cleanses, crash diets and restrictive diets, just to name a few. Food companies also market a plethora of “diet food” on the grocery store shelves such as protein bars and fat free yogurts. Well, I’m here to debunk most and instead give you tips for a truly healthy diet.

First of all, let’s talk about juice cleanses and juice fasts. They surged up in the 1990s and again in the late 2000s. There are countless brands that promote total body detox, rapid weight loss and glowing skin. While juicing does deliver recommended amounts of vitamins and minerals, it also delivers concentrated amounts of sugar and calories without the necessary protein to build tissue or fiber for the digestive system. So, while adding a juice to your day—usually with two to three servings of fruits and vegetables—can bring much needed nutrients, prolonged juice cleanses are dangerous.

Three, five or 10-day juice fasts can cause muscle loss, electrolyte imbalance and affect blood-sugar levels.

Therefore, juice in moderation.

Onto the next fad –calorie restrictive diets. The popular myth that eating very little amounts of food or depriving the body of calories will cause weight loss is just that, a myth.

“A paper published in the May 2010 issue of Psychosomatic Medicine warns that clinical data strongly link excess calorie restriction to weight gain due to increases in cortisol. Hormonal checks and balances are thrown off when the body is put under stress, which promotes fat storage.” (Livestrong) Excessive calorie restriction can also lead to muscle loss, due to inefficient amounts of protein, fatigue and fat gain.

While there are way too many crash diets and high sugar fat-free “diet foods” to discuss, I would never recommend restricting nutrients from your body to lose weight. Instead, remember that the body is a complex and interconnected unit. It requires daily amounts of vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats and, yes, carbs. Visit a nutritionist to discover how many calories you should be eating a day in order to maintain or lose weight, and what types of food your body needs to remain healthy. A nutritionist can help you develop a personalized weight loss plan.

If you cannot meet with a nutritionist, here are some online tools: the Harris Benedict Equation for personal caloric requirements (bmi-calculator.net/ bmr-calculator/harris-benedict-equation/) and daily nutritional requirements for Americans (health.gov/ dietaryguidelines/2015/guidelines/chapter-2/a-closerlook-at-current-intakes-and-recommended-shifts/).

Most importantly, I return to my week one No. 1 tip, which is to ask yourself, “How can this be healthier?”

So often we eat whatever we can get our hands on, skip meals because we’re too busy and later over-eat in compensation. Asking yourself how your meal or grocery haul can be healthier challenges you to stop and reconnect with your food. Maybe that means switching chips for sliced vegetables and hummus, or skipping that box of cookies entirely. It might also mean meal prepping so you don’t miss meals throughout the day.

No matter how you achieve this goal, I challenge you to ignore those quick fix diets and instead make a lifestyle change. You are worth it!

Next week we will discuss different exercise methods, and which work best for you. See you then!

LOCAL News Letter from the Editor

This week has been mid-term week for SGI students. It’s just about the halfway point in the school year, and a good time for the kids to develop their study habits.

As a parent, I am reminded of what a wonderful school district we live in. My 9th grade daughter has come home with detailed study guides to aid her in her test prep. She is always aware of how she’s doing in all of her classes, whether it’s because the teachers update the students, or she takes a look at the portal with her grades. She is motivated to do well, and I think it’s because as a district, SGI stresses importance on working hard in school, and acknowledges the students who do. (The high school principal even included hand written notes on first quarter report cards!)

As we head into the second half of the school year, I would like to give a sincere thank you to all the teachers, administrators, school board members and staff who are amazing at what they do. Thank you for creating a school district my family and I love to be a part of. And please continue to keep me in the loop on all the wonderful goings-on in your schools and classrooms so we can feature them on our SGI pages in this paper. Here’s to a successful second semester!

They also highlight a nonprofit organization or good cause at each of these movies to raise awareness and to give a voluntary opportunity for moviegoers to donate toward the highlighted organization or cause.

In just the last two seasons, $3,127 has been

LOCAL Business New Teen Program and More at rSpace

By Alicia Dziak

Officially opening its doors in October of 2016, rSpace, located at 8823 State Road in Colden, offers a full array of yoga and high-intensity cardio classes, fresh-pressed juices, Young Living essential oils, workshops and more. And soon, the fitness studio will offer a new program just for teens.

“Our new teen program is called EMPOWER: Living to Your Full Potential,” explained rSpace owner Jessica Raymond. “This program is designed to teach our youth how to live with vulnerability and bravery, to set realistic and attainable goals, to silence their inner critic and to write their own endings.”

EMPOWER will be a four week program with classes held on Sunday afternoons. Each session will start with an hour of movement that will include a variety of fitness and lifestyle exercises such as Yoga, POUND Fitness, Meditation, Hiking (Weather Permitted) and Kickboxing.

“This will be followed by an hour of learning strategies to help us live our best lives,” Raymond said.

Raymond, who lives in Glenwood with her husband and their three children, noted the idea for the program came from a need she saw within the community. “After spending time talking with parents, teachers and teens themselves, it became apparent that there was

a need for a safe place for teens to explore and discuss some of their everyday realities,” she said. “I think sometimes we as adults forget the struggles that our teens face, whether this comes from bullying, body image, or lacking a sense of belonging. Alongside this, obesity rates continue to rise in America as more health conditions plaque our next generation earlier than ever. By bringing these issues forward and teaching mindful, lifestyle techniques we hope to engage and empower our youth for success. We hope to inspire our teens away from fad diets, stereotypes of perfection, and lead a generation that lives wholehearted.” EMPOWER will begin Sunday, Feb. 11 and run Sundays 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. through Sunday, March 4. The spots will be limited so a pre-registration (using the Mind Body app) for the program is required.

The cost of the program will

be $45 per student and will cover the retreat.

Additionally, rSpace’s first teens-only Glow POUND Party goes down this Saturday, Jan. 27 at 6 p.m. Teens will have the opportunity to decorate themselves with black light reflective paint and glow sticks before taking part in a blacklight POUND fitness class, which allow students to unleash their inner rock star with a drum based workout. Pre-registration is required.

The new teen program is not the only thing that’s new at rSpace since the Springville Times last caught up with Raymond.

“We have been busy renovating and expanding since we last chatted,” Raymond explained. “We are thrilled to announce we recently added massage therapy room to the Space.” rSpace recently welcomed Katie Merrial, LMT, a graduate of the University of Notre Dame and the New York Institute of Massage, who takes a multi-faceted approach to massage therapy. Clients can contact Merrial for an appointment at (716) 263-2205 or merrillklmt@yahoo.com.

“We also added a locker room for all our students’ needs and members can rent them monthly for only $5,” Raymond said.

A wide variety of other

classes, such as aerial and power yoga, are offered regularly at rSpace, which Raymond said can be “modified to any level, you are sure to find the motivation you need to stay curious and push out of your comfort zone.” New workshops are being added throughout February to keep up with demand, and the studio even offers classes just kids.

“Friday nights in Colden have transformed into ladies night as local residents find their inner warrior at BUTI Yoga before hitting up our neighbors, The Colden Country Inn, for a refreshing cocktail!” Raymond said.

“Buti Yoga is a tribe of empowered women who support each other in their quest for health and happiness. The movement methodology is drawn from primal movement, tribal dance and ancient yoga techniques to awaken the Shakti energy and free the mind. Utilizing a blend of power yoga, cardiointensive tribal dance, conditioning and deep toning, this workout tones and sculpts the entire body while facilitating complete inner transformation.”

Classes are every Friday at 6 p.m.

Finally, just in time for the Olympic games, the rSpace Olympics are making their way to Colden,

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT Comfort Food Served Up Daily at Apple Dumplin

By Carlee Frank

We’ve all been there –we’ve craved homemade comfort food but haven’t wanted to make it ourselves. Well, we’re in luck –Apple Dumplin located at 521 South Cascade Drive in Springville is just the place to satisfy those cravings.

Originally opened in 1995 by the Walczak family, Apple Dumplin was purchased by the current owner, Judy Ball, in 2005.

“I had been working in the restaurant business for 20 years before that, so I thought it was time to try it on my own,” Ball said.

Since then, she said Apple Dumplin has gained many new customers and

has grown every year. It is a favorite breakfast and lunch spot for locals and travelers alike. The restaurant’s location is just off of the Route 219 expressway, and before the Ellicottville ski resorts, which brings in many out of state visitors and, Ball noted, many customers from Canada. The Microtel Inn & Suites on Cascade also recommends hotel residents visit Apple Dumplin, so she has even met customers from around the world.

“We’ve had people from Russia and some from Italy –we’ve had people from all over,” Ball said.

The atmosphere, food and service are equally important at Apple

Dumplin. She said the food is homemade comfort food such as such as meatloaf, roast beef, turkey and hearty breakfasts.

She said breakfast is one of the busiest times at the restaurant; they serve omelets, pancakes, bacon and many more mouthwatering options.

Apple Dumplin also has daily specials based on chef’s choice.

For customers suffering from Celiac disease or gluten sensitivities, Apple Dumplin serves many gluten free dishes such as waffles and pancakes for breakfast; lasagna, ravioli and gluten free soups; and bread pudding and chocolate cake for dessert.

“There is such a demand for it now, and so many people here are gluten free, and we want to be able to serve them,” Ball said.

This year, Apple Dumplin may undergo a bit of a change. Ball mentioned that she is considering installing outdoor seating to the restaurant—if it is a wise business decision. While the project is not in motion yet, it would be a nice way to enjoy time outside with friends and family.

While Ball said she had

business experience prior to owning Apple Dumplin — because she managed ordering, scheduling and much more at her previous place of employment —she still had nerves when the restaurant first opened.

“I just wondered if I had made a mistake because it was so slow at first –but I definitely didn’t make a mistake,” Ball said.

Many customers from the restaurant she previously worked at, as well as long time Apple Dumplin customers, came with her when she took ownership.

She said her customers are very friendly and appreciative, which makes owning a restaurant in a small town very rewarding.

They also have many regulars who come in every week, and sometimes multiple times a week.

Not only are the customers very committed to the restaurant, but so is the staff.

“Everyone that works here is like a family,” Ball said. “We might not be biologically related, but it’s like a family.”

Apple Dumplin also sells wares for local vendors, such as patterned plastic grocery bag holders made

by one of her employees.

They also sell local pure syrup —one brand from a local family and another from the Jones family who supplies to the restaurant.

However, they also offer imitation syrup.

“Believe it or not, a lot of people don’t like pure syrup, so we have both options,” Ball said.

If you’re in the mood

for pancakes and syrup, or just want to eat homemade comfort food in a cozy environment, stop by Apple Dumplin.

They are opened TuesdaySunday at 7 a.m., and close at 4 p.m. every day but Friday when they close at 7:30 p.m.

The XXIII Olympic Winter Games will be upon us Feb. 9-25, this year being held in PyeongChang, South Korea. The Games will be the first ever Olympic Winter Games with over 100 gold medals.

While the Olympics offer a variety of exciting winter sports, probably none hit closer to home for those of us living in the WNY southtowns than the numerous skiing and snowboarding events. Here is a rundown of what you can expect:

SPCA, Sheriff Seize 85 Pigs In Ashford Cruelty Probe

Schroeder said on Jan. 19.

The 25 pigs in the worst condition were taken to the Cornell University Farm Animal Clinic. Others were taken to the Farm Sanctuary where they will be cared for and nursed back to health, she said. Others in better health were fostered out to area farmers who helped in the pigs seizure.

Schroeder said all three agencies are cooperating in the investigation.

charges involving 128 pigs, Schroeder said. He was convicted the following year and sentenced to three years probation during which time he could not own any animals and $3,000 in restitution to the SPCA. Nason was also required to complete an SPCAapproved course before he could own any animals after his probation.

On Jan. 19, a 600-pound boar was the only pig left in the two barns. Schroeder said, “As of Saturday (Jan. 20), they will all be gone” from the Folts Road properties.

Schroeder said one sow lost eight of 17 piglets because she was too emaciated.

She said she does not expect any charges to be filed until after the Cornell veterinarians issue a report on the pigs they treated.

Two years ago, a Farmersville couple were charged with animal cruelty in connection with more than 100 animals at their farm including horses, cows and geese.

In response to that, Cattaraugus County lawmakers enacted a local law that creates a registry of people charged with animal cruelty and restricts their ability to own animals in the future.

Valentine’s Dinner Continued from front page

Suppers, this special dinner will feature a handful of local businesses that combine their efforts to make for a memorable evening. Most notably is Edible Crush, Horton’s catering business, that will provide the food.

In addition, Horton said she plans to involve Fresh Floral and Gifts, local photographer Elizabeth Pellette and Colden-based Triple Sweets at this dinner.

She said the event allows these local businesses to expose themselves to additional clientele.

“We made new friends, we got to know people, we supported each other and got our names out to people who hadn’t heard of us before,” Horton said about last month’s Seasonal

Supper, which also included Emily Karr Photography.

And in her role as chef, Horton was excited to talk about the fourcourse dinner’s special menu, which she joked is a bit “racy.” Much of the food at the meal will be aphrodisiacs, a play on the Valentine’s Day theme.

“It’s meant to be fun and funny,” she said. “It’s still a community dinner and community based, we are just having a little fun with it.”

Menu includes fried oysters with artichoke aioli; shrimp, avocado and berries appetizer with pomegranate seeds, figs and honey; a main course of surf and turf with an option for non-meat eaters as well; and a warm chocolate ganache with

dippers platter. The event is bring-your-own drink.

At the last dinner held at 39 East Main St. — the former site of the Farmer’s Daughter cafe and, most recently, the Echoes Through Time Civil War museum — organizers transformed the vacant space into a visuallyappealing atmosphere that resembled a restaurant setting.

This time around there will again likely be candles setting the mood, a new idea of edible centerpieces providing some of the decor and plenty of seating all planned. Horton said it’s planned that Pellette, the local photographer, will take photos at the event for guests.

Want help turning your New Year’s Resolutions into Lasting Change?

“It’ll be candlelit, warm, friendly and funny,” she said.

It’s expected the next Seasonal Supper will be held in early spring, according to Horton.

Eventually, the plan is for those suppers, the first of which Horton coordinated with longtime friend Allison Duwe, to be held at the Art’s Cafe.

Tickets for the upcoming special event dinner, scheduled for 6 p.m.

Saturday, Feb. 17 at 39 East Main St., will be $39 excluding tax and gratuity and are available through the Facebook event page, at Fresh Floral and Gifts or by contacting Horton at 359-8286 or ediblecrush@ gmail.com. The last day to purchase tickets is Feb. 11.

Mychajliw Educates Boston Seniors on Dangers of Scams

During a seminar at the Boston Senior Center, Comptroller Stefan I. Mychajliw presented his comprehensive “Senior Fraud Protection Program” to the large crowd that attended. In addition to thoroughly reviewing the Top 10 scams and warning signs, Comptroller Mychajliw provides each recipient with an information booklet that they can reference at any time to help protect against being victimized by a scammer.

“These lowlifes that prey on the most vulnerable of our County are relentless.

I will do what I can to stop this scum dead in their tracks. The ‘Senior Fraud Protection Program’ is an outreach that I formed to help seniors. I talk to folks one-on-one about what to look for in a scam and how to protect themselves.

This is critical to stopping scammers from preying on seniors,” stated Comptroller Mychajliw. “My focus is always on protecting taxpayers’ personal assets,

and that includes monitoring scams and alerting residents immediately when we see a new trend.”

“I want to thank the Boston Senior Center for welcoming me. I am proud to partner with them to work together to prevent scammers from getting the best of anyone in our community. This program is critical to the wellbeing of the elderly and I am happy to meet with anyone to discuss scams and educate taxpayers,” Comptroller Mychajliw concluded.

This program is available to all seniors throughout Erie County. If any group, church organization, social club, service group, etc. would like to host Comptroller Mychajliw for a presentation, please contact his office at 8588400 or email comptroller@ erie.gov.

The Senior Fraud Protection Program covers the top scams:

1. Medicare/Health Insurance 2. Counterfeit Prescription Drugs 3. Funeral & Cemetery Products 4. Fraudulent Personal Products 5. Telemarketing & Computer Fraud 6. Investment Schemes 7. Homeowner/ Contractor Scams 8. Sweepstakes & Lottery Scams 9. The Grandparent Scam Comptroller Mychajliw also helps seniors through the process of what they should do if they are a victim of a scam.

“This program has proven to be effective. It is critical that we stay on top of scammers because they are always looking for new ways to swindle seniors, and we have to protect ourselves,” Comptroller Mychajliw added.

and a lot of communities are taking advantage of this opportunity to develop wonderful trails creating connectivity for walking and biking and rollerblading and everything that might go on.

“But a lot of people are also very apprehensive about it because a lot of these rails go through the middle of nowhere and there’s not a lot around it,” she continued.

“Really I think what the community needs to do — in conjunction with the Village of Springville — is work together to come to a conscious on this.”

The recommendations also included adding an amphitheater to the plan — not signifying such a project will take place, but instead advising the town to look into the possibility.

“We hear there is a burgeoning arts community and there is a lot of growing support for an outdoor performance amphitheater and arts park,” Vogt said.

“Why not?”

“We are not talking about building another Chautauqua Institution or whatever, we are talking about something that fits into the community,” added Riley.

It was also recommended to make improvements to lighting, the snack shack and bathrooms at the town park. A resident also advised that it be added to the plan to make the town park a more year-round destination with winter activities.

A handful of recommendations for the town’s transportation

system include advocating for improved public transportation services, park-and-ride upgrades, improvements to county roads and investigating bike and pedestrian improvements on roads around the village.

Bike and pedestrian improvements could include bike paths along major bike routes, for example.

“I know there’s a lot cyclists that do come through here. It’s beautiful,” Vogt said. “People want to come down here and ride.

So it’s trying to provide some protections for them and the vehicles.”

ANOTHER NOTABLE recommendation proposed at the meeting was support for the creation of the Zoar Valley Road Extension Commercial Area, which would be a product of the town and village working together to develop property west of the village line.

“As you know with the changes to (Route) 219, there is an area of the town that may make sense for additional commercial development at the end of Zoar Valley Road Extension,” Riley said.

The idea was also under consideration in the village’s comprehensive plan, he said, and would include annexing the land from the town to the village for construction of new infrastructure for potential future commercial development.

“I see that as sprawl, plain and simple,” said Seth Wochensky, a community member at the meeting. He said he would be initially

opposed to the idea because “the more miles we spread out our infrastructure, the more I am paying for that infrastructure” compared to a dense area within the village. Plus, he said the current land is “pristine, gorgeous” at present.

“What you don’t want to do is compete with what is going on in the village (and) you don’t want to do another Cascade Drive there; it would have to be something unique,” Riley said.

SPECIFICALLY ON the zoning code, which was the first recommendation outlined during the presentation, Riley said the firm reviewed and agreed with much of a zoning analysis completed by a previous consultant.

Among the recommendations included revising the town’s ruralagricultural district to be more focused and expanding agriculture-related uses like agribusiness and agri-tourism. It was also recommended to modernize the industrial zoning to allow for new types of industry and remove underutilized zoning districts.

Wendel officials advised in the plan that the town complete its town agriculture protection plan to better define a similar plan by the county.

“The county looks at it from a 1,000-foot level,” Riley said. “You need to look at it from a 100-foot level.” He said this includes sitting down with farmers and finding out more about farming in the town; the

recommendation in the comprehensive plan is simply to consider the need for such an agricultural protection plan.

OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS touched on considerations to the revision of mining law; the establishment of more visually appealing gateways and signage at the town’s major entrances; creation of an Environmental Protection Overlay; and continued support for protection of environmental features in the town like creeks, streams and Scoby Dam. There was also conversation about researching the adoption of law to accommodate more creative housing types and better defining the various levels of home business.

Planners from Wendel are now tasked with developing a draft of the comprehensive plan that will be posted on the town’s website for review. From there, they will work with the Comprehensive Plan Committee to refine, edit and finalize the document by March 1.

Then it’s on to the adoption process — which is handled by the town board — and, finally, implementation.

Riley advised the creation of an implementation committee that will follow up with the plan and see how it is being used. There is no timetable on the town board’s adoption of the plan, and it’s not uncommon for it to be months through more revisions and public meetings before it’s officially adopted, he said.

sold to three people—Jack Eberhardt, Pete Stapple and Phil Johnston.

The lodge was rebuilt and featured a four-sided fireplace, a cafeteria, a restaurant and a bar inside.

The ski school offered lessons under the tutelage of Bill Gruden, the ski patrol kept the slopes safe and the rental shop covered all the visitors’ equipment needs.

“At the time, we offered free lessons on Saturday nights,” Dave told me. “Hundreds of people would come out for them. I remember one time having 8090 people in a beginner lesson.”

Dave, who worked his way up to ski school director, added that, “There were four of us who were full-time employees. We taught lessons, we’d work in the rental shop, we’d bartend…and we’d get $125 a week!”

Among area lodging, a Bluemont brochure from the 1971-72 season lists the Leland House in Springville, noting its excellent food, modern rooms and cocktails, and the Zoar Motel on Route 219 in Springville, with its “17 modern units.”

A Bluemont brochure from the 1976-77 season lists all area adult lift tickets for $6 on weekdays and $9 on weekends. Rentals were $6.50. A season pass was $150. The resort offered eight trails that season, a majority of which were lighted for night skiing, ranging from the Student Slope (which was free to ski on) to Penny Lane, a 6,600-ft picturesque trail for beginners and intermediates, to Glades, which the brochure says was for experts only, and described it as “very exciting, big moguls, lots of trees.”

The trails were serviced by four lifts—two rope tows, one T-bar and a double chair (more traditional than the one in its early days) with two separate unloading stations. A brochure from the 1979-80 season stated there were barely lift lines to worry about because their lifts were “able to whisk 3,150 skiers to the top of the mountain in an hour.”

Bluemont boasted 60 Ski Patrol members and a well-equipped First Aid Building located at the base of the hill between the chalet and the Ski Patrol Family Room.

In the off-season, Bluemont offered moto-cross races, weddings, dinner theater, company picnics, dancing, antique shows and more.

Bluemont found success throughout the 1970s, until the 1981-82 season, when lack of funding forced the ski area to close.

Kingbrook, a Canadian company, soon purchased the land with the intent to reopen it as a four-season, private resort that would include condos and a golf course; that project never garnered enough support to come to fruition.

About a decade later, an unnamed investment group with ski industry ties made serious inquiries about reviving the Kingbrook project but with a grander vision to include a hotel, residential units, two ski hills, a signature golf course, tennis courts, as well as hiking and mountain biking trails. (Springville residents might remember the Kingbrook chairlift chair and sign sitting along Waverly Street for some time.)

The Cattaraugus County Industrial Development Agency put together $70 million in inducements, but the project never made it to the construction stage.

According to the NELSAP, the property is now owned by Cornerstone, Kingbrook’s Colorado-based parent company.

As with most defunct ski areas, many of the old structures from the Bluemont era are still intact or at least recognizable, like the ski school building, safety patrol building, the main base lodge and maintenance buildings, as well as the main bull wheel at the base.

Please share your memories of Blue Mountain and Bluemont on our Facebook page or email us at info@ springvilletimes.com.

Girls’ Basketball Teams Take On Tough League Opponents

By Alicia Dziak

The SGI girls’ JV and Varsity basketball teams took on three league opponents this week and last.

On Wednesday, they traveled to Pioneer, where the Varsity squad came out with a 43-28 victory and their first league win on the season.

“The girls were absolutely suffocating defensively,” said coach Bob Gainey, who added that incredible performances on defense included Sydney Rosati, Ryan Stedman and Nyah Solly. “The girls did a great job handling the different defensive schemes from the Lady Panthers.”

Gainey also said that Ivette Lewandowski was able to shake away from the constant pressure for 15 points, including an acrobatic ‘and 1’ to give the Lady Griffs momentum. “Grace Zabawa and Leah Frank made some big shots on the night as each girl chipped in eight points.

Ryan Stedman hit a couple big jumpers (5 points) and Sydney Rosati hit a big three in the second half to give the Lady Griffs a nice cushion (6 points) to help lead them to a win.”

Defensively, the strong rebounding by Kelsey Zabawa, Belle Oakley, and Mackenzie Engel helped the girls control the glass. “Jess Engel provided some nice minutes in the first half and helped assist the defensive spark on the night,” said Gainey.

The JV girls did not fare as well, dropping a close game 41-37. Leading scorers on the night were Cora Boundy with 15, and Meg Rehrauer with 14. At one point, the girls were down by 14 points, but came back strong in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Panthers 15-5; unfortunately, they fell short in the end.

On Friday, Jan. 19, the girls dropped their home league game to East Aurora by a score of 58-31. “The girls were overwhelmed from the start by the pressure EA applied along with their excellent perimeter shooting,” Gainey said.

Despite the loss, the girls kept competing and battling throughout the evening and won the second half by a score of 21-17. “That right there shows the incredible resiliency and heart this team possesses,” Gainey said.

Lewandowski was a star once again as she poured in a team-high 18 points. Also adding to the total was Grace Zabawa with five points, Ryan Stedman with four points, and Leah Frank and Bella Oakley with two points each.

Gainey noted that Oakley was also a force underneath and made things extremely difficult for the EA forwards.

The JV team lost to East Aurora 36-17. After a tough start where the Griffs struggled to get on the scoreboard, the girls stepped it up on defense and pushed through to create opportunities on offense. Quick passing and shots from underneath led to some baskets late in the first quarter.

There was no lack of effort on the Springville side when it came to matching up against the larger Blue Devils; unfortunately, numerous turnovers and missed shots did not help the cause, and ultimately was the major factor in the loss.

On Monday, the girls traveled to Cheektowaga for their third league game in five days. The Varsity girls dropped their game by a score of 46-32. “ The girls came out flat and didn’t give the necessary effort to come away with a win,” said Gainey. He noted that despite being down by 20 points in the third quarter, the girls cut it to 9 points in the final frame, but unfortunately, the deficit was too large to recover from as the girls inevitably lost a game they should have won. Ivette Lewandowski led the team with 15 points, Grace Zabawa chipped in nine points, and two points were each recorded by Leah Frank, Ryan Stedman, and Bella Oakley.

SGI Coaches Corner

Boys’ Swimming and Diving, Coaches Boberg and Dygert

On Friday, Jan. 19, the boys took to the pool for a third time in a week to take on St. Francis’ swim team.

Looking to end out the week on a high note not only to keep their recent form going, but also, to celebrate the illustrious careers of Dominic Hartenstein and Dylan Noeller, this year’s seniors.

Starting off for the Griffins was the 1-3 finish in the Medley Relay. Zach, Austin, Jon, and Dominic combined to take first place, while Jimmy Snyder, Wyatt Fuller, Connor Hughey, and Elliot Emley combined to take third place. Following the relay, Blaze Schelble took first place in the 200 Freestyle with an ECIC qualifying time of 2:15:02 in the 200 Freestyle, while Garrett swam to 4th place in 2:36:41. Jon Boberg continued Springville’s string of first places with a great race in the 200 IM beating out a tough competitor from St. Francis, while Austin Yetter secured 3rd place.

In the 50 Freestyle, the dynamic duo of Elliot Emley and Dominic Hartenstein provided a 1-2 finish to continue pushing SGI to a greater lead. Dylan Noeller also provided a great swim in the race, while Christian Safford put up a best time along with Harley Maloy swimming well.

In diving, Wyatt Fuller scored a 280.88, ranking him 22nd in the state, while Dakota scored a 183.83 qualifying him for the Class Meet.

Blaze and Zach were unable to overcome St. Francis’ swimmer, but were able to take 2nd and 3rd place with both swimming best times. Dominic then took the first place in the 100 Freestyle, while Jimmy swam to 3rd.

In the 500 Freestyle, Austin and Dakota swam to a 2nd and 3rd place finish both with personal best times.

Christian also swam the 500 freestyle and dropped nearly 40 seconds in the event since his previous swim of it three days ago.

The Griffins took first and third in the 200 Free Relay with the team of Jon, Blaze, Elliot, and Dominic taking first while Jimmy, Wyatt, Dakota, and Dylan took third.

In the 100 Backstroke, Zach was able to swim a personal best time and take first place while Garrett came in third place for SGI. In the Breaststroke Jon was able to take first place with a best time of the season while Justin and Connor provided good swims for the Griffins as well.

Lastly was the 400 Freestyle Relay where the foursome of Blaze, Elliot, Austin, and Zach swam to a first place finish while Christian, Jimmy, Garrett, and Dakota took third.

Varsity Girls’ Basketball, Coach Bob Gainey

The Varsity girls’ basketball team dropped a tough nonleague game against West Seneca West on Tuesday night in double overtime by a score of 51-47. The girls played some fantastic defense led by the incredible steals from Grace Zabawa and overwhelming pressure from Sydney Rosati. Zabawa was able to take a number of steals all the way to the basket and convert them into lay-ups. As the game wore on the girls continued to fight and battle to keep themselves in the game. Leah Frank was fouled toward the end of regulation and was forced to make two free throws to send the game to OT. She nailed both shots and gave the Lady Griffs an opportunity to play an extra four minutes.

Once again, the girls found themselves in a great position, down by one point. Ivette Lewandowski had a chance to put the Griffs up by a point but was able to convert one of two shots to tie the game up. On the next possession, West converted a foul shot and the Griffs had the ball.

Once again, Frank was fouled with under 20 seconds to

play and made one of two shots. That led the game to its second overtime period. Unfortunately, the girls ran out of gas in double OT and dropped the game. The leading scorer on the night was Grace Zabawa (13 points) who was absolutely fantastic on both ends of the floor. Other scorers included: Lewandowski (11 points,) Leah Frank (7 points,) Kelsey Zabawa (4 points,) Sydney Rosati (4 points,) and Mackenzie Engel (1 point.) The girls will look to avenge an early season loss when they play host to Maryvale on Thursday night.

JV Boy’s Basketball, Coach Dave Broom

JV Boys lost to West Seneca West on Jan. 16, with a score of 65 to 38. Austin Boies led the scoring for the Griffs with 18 points, and Alex Elkins chipped in 9 points.

The boys lost to Pioneer 67 to 38 on Jan. 18. Leadng scorers on the night were Eric Copeland with 11 points and Eric Pruitt with 13 points.
