Cheers to the Beers Thomas Jefferson once said, “Beer, if drunk in moderation, softens the temper, cheers the spirit and promotes health.” We agree (in moderation of course.) All across Western New York, you can find local breweries serving unique craft
beers suitable for just about any palate. “New York’s craft breweries are not only a source of local pride, but they create jobs and drive tourism in every corner of the state.” said Governor Andrew Cuomo. “No state has done more to assist and promote
craft manufacturing than New York.” With this in mind, let us take this week’s bucket list adventure across Western New York to visit one of our many, many local breweries. Please note, this list represents just a sampling of what you will find in our area. Enjoy!

Pee Wee Griffs Super Bowl B Champs! By Tim Oakley
In the beginning of August, a group of 30some boys gathered at the high school to begin their training as a Pee Wee football team. The age of the boys spans from 8 to 11-years-old. For many this was their first experience with highly-competitive team sports. Little guys of different sizes, interests, race, financial background, and schools (Colden, St. Al’s and Springville) worked together under the tremendous tutelage

If you’re looking to lend a helping hand this fall, here are a few local opportunities to consider. The Concord Historical Society is made up of a group of historical agencies, including the Lucy Bensley Center, the Heritage Museum, the Pop Warner Museum and the Concord Mercantile.

The group is currently looking for volunteers to help out at the Heritage Building and Mercantile. “We all have some kind of a story or memory we can share about the Leland house, or Joylan theater… Kuhn’s drugstore,” reads the website. “When folks come and you show them around, they will start to tell you their memories too.” History buffs have a lot of options in Springville, including the Civil War Museum, Echoes Through Time. Volunteer staff at the museum are made up by educators, living historians, reenactors and history buffs from all walks of life and professions, as their website states. Those interested in volunteering can sign up for weekend shifts of four or five hours, and should not feel obligated to any long-

Local Ranch Gives Hope In Difficult Times
By Derek M. Otto
If you don’t know LJ Grand Livery Stables, the big red barn with longhorn cattle on the entrance into Springville, nestled between the Fire hall and Gentner’s auction, then you haven’t experienced one of the more interesting business ventures in Springville. Early in the 2010s, Lauralee Sibiga and Jay Andrews bought the old Frank Watson farm with the hopes of giving back to Springville. In a few short years, they have given us holiday cheer during the Christmas season with carriage rides in the village, making seniors, prom-goers and a 100-year resident feel like a princess with their horses and carriage. They have been with us in our sadder moments too, taking our beloved to their final resting place. LJ Grand Livery has given a
unique flair and even curiositywith long horn cattle, horses and excitement when they get loose to our community. Recently, Andrews and Sibiga asked me to visit their ranch during a photo session. It was an odd request to cover a photo session; nonetheless, Lauralee knew I would like the story. Inviting me to the session really
had me curious. When I got there, I learned the session was with Kasie Howard-Stockwell, her family, and photographer Mike Hartung of Headstone Photography. It was then I learned why I was invited, as Kasie has a very interesting story of hope and horses.

Letter from the Editor It’s hard to believe Halloween will be here Tuesday. Let’s hope for nice weather for the little and not-so-little trick-or-treaters dressed as princesses, superheroes, monsters, vampires, and everything in between. I have so many great memories of taking my kids around Springville on Halloween over the years. We’ve changed routes quite a bit, some years trying our luck in the area around Franklin and North Central, other years, roaming East Ave., and still others, sticking to the “big houses” along Main Street. It seems like so many people in Springville go all out for this holiday, which makes it especially fun. As October comes to a close, I hope you’ve had time to enjoy the sights and sounds of fall, from pumpkins and pumpkin-flavored everything to apples, candy corn and hillsides adorned in color. I also hope as you look through the pages of this week’s paper, you find some inspiration on how to spend your last October weekend. Have a safe and happy Halloween! - Alicia Dziak, Editor, Springville Times

EVL Half and 5K Oct. 28
By Alicia Dziak
For many, the EVL Half and 5K is about a lot more than just running. Now in its fourth year, this must-attend race is about being creative and dressing up, spending time with your running buddies and, of course, the awesome t-shirts and finisher’s medals! It’s about the costumes. Outside of Ellicottville, there aren’t a whole lot of races that encourage you to dress up. Superhero? 80s chick? Sloth from the Goonies? Yes! Costume awards will be given for Best Group (two or more people), Best Individual,
Funniest, Scariest, Most Girly, Best Kid and Best in Show. It’s about the medals and t-shirts. Anyone who knows the EVL Half knows that the soughtafter medals are reason enough to cross the finish line. Gwen Bush of Endurance Factor LLC, who organizes the race, said the process for choosing the design starts in the beginning of the year. “I first have to find the EVL Creature for the year and then I come up with a sketch or image. I work with my medal team at Ashworth Awards who take my idea and turn it into medal!” she said.
As for the T-shirts, (which, as a female, I appreciate the separate styles for women!), those are custom designed by Patra Lowes of City Garage. It’s about the after-party. What better place for an after-party than at Ellicottville Brewing Company? Enjoy hard earned craft beer and many wonderful giveaway prizes from area businesses. Awards will be given in a variety of age groups. It’s about the memories. While the course remains the same as in years past, some special treats await. “We will have some dancing witches on course along with some musicians in a couple locations as well this year!” Bush noted. “I have been running this race for the last four years,” said Kim Pazzuti of Springville, who is registered for the 5K. “One of my favorite things about this event is the atmosphere— it is such a great time!” “It’s fun because everyone dresses up,” said Alex Lineen, 11, of Hamburg, who ran the 5K last year. “I like the bubble machine at the end and the super cool medals.” His brother, Eli, 9, said, “I’m looking forward to doing this race for the first time because people dress up in silly costumes and it’s a good course.” He also added, “I’m expecting to get a first place finish in my age group!” Both the half marathon (11 a.m. start) and the 5K (11:15 a.m. start) begin and end in the heart of town at 5 Monroe Street on Saturday, Oct. 28.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
Farming Projects Made Easy at Tri-County Supply
By Carlee Frank
‘Tis the season. Well, not Christmas season just yet –it’s preparation season. Homeowners across the area are chopping, stacking and covering wood for winter; they are studying the best types of snow blowers for the inevitable blizzards and completing last minute construction projects before the freeze is in the air. However, no matter the task, all of your power equipment needs can be taken care of at Tri-County Supply. They sell tractors, chainsaws, mowers, tillers and much more. Located at 12069 Olean Road (Route 16) in Chaffee, the store is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tri-County’s current facility was opened in 1962 by Paul Lewis, and is now owned by three of his sons: Rick, Ron and Russ Lewis. However, the store has its origins after World War II when Paul began working on a small farm in the Holland/Colden area. “He was doing custom work for other farmers and went into the machinery repair business,” Rick Lewis said. “It was a rather rural location, so he needed something more on the main road.” For this reason, the store was moved to Chaffee, NY and renamed Tri-County Supply due to its positioning between Erie, Wyoming and
Cattaraugus counties. Lewis has been in the business around 40 years and said they have adapted to changes in both clientele and farming methods over the decades. While they began as an agriculture-based business, Lewis noted they now supply more to rural land owners. “I grew up in Holland/Colden and I can remember driving on Center Street to East Aurora and there were about 26 farms, and there’s not one farm there now,” Lewis said. Commercialization of farming has decreased the number of small family farms throughout the United States. Much of the land is still being used, Lewis said, but it is by big business farms. While there are still small farms in our area, especially because of the growing popularity of farmers markets and organic farming, TriCounty Supply services many homeowners as well. Lewis
said most of their customers are second time buyers, meaning they are usually making an investment in top-line equipment. Tri-County Supply sells many brand products such as Husqvarna, as well as Kioti, Bush Hog and Oregon. Lewis added that they are basically in the business of equipment that makes a lot of noise. Something else that has made a lot of noise for the business is their partnership with retired Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly. The football player worked with Tri-County Supply to grow crops at his Ellicottville facility. Since then, he has done some promotion for the store, and still uses their assistance in farming projects. Local celebrities aside, Lewis said they have long standing relationships with many of their clients. “We’ve had some clients for 50 years, and some of them have passed on and we’re working with the second generation of families,” Lewis said. Even if customers come into the store for the first time, Lewis explained that they hope to keep everyone happy and well assisted. The three brothers have been working with each other for years, and while the business has been very good to them, Lewis said, he also looks forward to retirement someday. “It has provided good income for our families, but someday I’d like to sit back and do some wood working or something,” Lewis said. For now, however, TriCounty Supply will remain a staple to farmers and homeowners throughout the region. For more information, visit their website at www. TriCountySupply.com

Diabetes Month Continued from front page
Association of Diabetes Educators, is offering two special programs this month to educate the community about ways to manage this disease. “Gourmet Dining on a 400-Calorie Budget” is a free healthy eating and cooking demonstration which will kick off National Diabetes Awareness Month on Wednesday, Nov. 1 from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m at the Concord Senior Center on Commerce Drive in Springville. “We’ve planned it as an hourlong cooking demonstration of diabetic-friendly recipes sourced and modified by Kyle Schwan, a registered dietician who works at our hospital and nursing home. Our guests will then be served that meal, as prepared by our dietary team,” stated Kathleen Hebdon, RN, and diabetes education coordinator at Bertrand Chaffee Hospital. “On the menu: a pork tenderloin roast with apple dressing – which some people call stuffing – and a raspberry glaze. Side dishes include a brown and wild rice mix and a roasted vegetable medley. For dessert – well, we’re keeping that a surprise!” “Our diabetes education team is always brainstorming
Epiphany Parish Hall
for new ways to draw attention to our program. The Bertrand Chaffee Hospital ‘Gourmet Dining on a 400-calorie Budget’ may be our most creative effort yet,” said Kara Kane, Development and Community Relations Coordinator at Bertrand Chaffee Hospital. “And people should not be deterred by the word ‘gourmet.’ Our recipes use affordable ingredients and some – like the roasted vegetables – can be adapted with seasonal produce.” Gift cards to help with the costs of paper projects and produce are being donated by Tops Markets and Walmart. There are limited spaces available for this event at the Concord Senior Center, which starts at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 1. Sign up at the senior center or register by calling(716) 592-2871 ext. 1485 and leave a message or email kkane@bch-jbr.org. A panel discussion hosted in partnership with the Buffalo American Association of Diabetes Educators Networking Group, “Diabetes: Talk to an Expert” will held on Thursday, Nov. 16 from 7-8:30 p.m at the Concord Senior Center. A panel of diabetes experts will be available to answer any
questions, along with educating the public about various diabetes products. This discussion is free of cost, but guests must register ahead of time by calling (716) 592-9643. Bertrand Chaffee Hospital offers diabetes management classes for people with prediabetes, gestational diabetes, Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes and their close family members. These classes are conducted on an individual basis to help people with diabetes understand and manage their disease effectively and includes topics such as the Basic Anatomy and Physiology of Diabetes, Types of Diabetes, Signs and Symptoms, Treatment Methods, Complications of Diabetes and Instruction in blood glucose monitoring and insulin injections. For more information, please call (716) 592-2871 ext. 1489. In addition to these diabetic education classes, the hospital also provides free monthly diabetic support group meetings led by a Certified Diabetic Educator on the first Monday of each month from 6-7 p.m. for Type I and Type II diabetics and their loved ones as part of its community education initiative.

BCH Launches New Ad Campaign
Just in time for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Bertrand Chaffee Hospital (BCH) recently announced the addition of 3D mammography, also called digital tomosynthesis, to services provided in its Imaging Department. To help get the word out, BCH is featuring a new ad campaign, which can be seen in the pages on the Springville Times and Ellicottille Times. “We just wanted something that would catch someone’s eye. It started with 3D glasses and it evolved from there,” said Annette Kaleta of BCH, who organized the ad campaign. The kids donning the 3D glasses are those of BCH’s very own Dr. Davison, who took the photos of Maksim, Mila and Madden himself. Kaleta noted that the most challenging part of that photo shoot was “Trying to keep the glasses on straight. Dr. Davison did not succeed with Madden!” A second ad features two dogs, who belong to Kaleta’s brother. “The dogs are Ruby and Diamond. They are Belgium Malmois and have won many ribbons in dog shows,” said Kaleta. The photos were taken at their home in Woodbridge, VA. “The dogs are so well trained that the toughest part was getting the exact shot I wanted,” she added. “He sent me probably 15 pictures to choose from and I kept letting him know he was getting closer to what I was looking for.” For more information about the new equipment and the Imaging Department at BCH, visit www. bertrandchaffee.com.

JV GIRLS’ VOLLEYBALL, COACH BOB GAINEY
Go Griffins!
The JV girls volleyball team played host to Olmsted on Thursday night and came away with a 3-0 victory. The girls were exceptional in all three games and played well as a team. Every girl who took the floor made important contributions, which included: Jill Roggie, Vaidah Emerling, Rachel Stressinger, Melanie Barry, Meg Rehrauer, Marie Emerling, Marin Lehr, Sara Ehlers, Katelyn Mesch, Liv Schindler, Ivette Lewandowski, and Ashley Blesy. The JV girls volleyball team traveled to Cheektowaga on Friday night and completed an UNDEFEATED season!!!! For the first time all year, the girls dropped game 1 by a score of 25-19. The Lady Griffs looked like they were in trouble starting game 2, down 5-0 early. But everything changed after that. The team started passing the ball extremely well off of serve receive and the hitters, notably Marin Lehr and Sara Ehlers, were outstanding to lead the team to a big 25-19 game 2 win. Rachel Stressinger was great from the service line to bring home the win. It would be a mistake to not mention the unbelievable play by Vaidah Emerling. She was all over the court, keeping the ball off the ground and setting up her hitters time and time again. The girls completed the comeback by taking game 3 winning 25-16. Melanie Barry was excellent passing the ball from the back row and Ivette Lewandowski was outstanding with her hustle from the outside spot. The team couldn’t have won the match without the ENTIRE support from all members. There were girls who didn’t play but were excellent teammates and were very supportive throughout the match. The girls finished the season 17-0 and were an incredible team to coach every day. Congratulations ladies! VARSITY GIRLS’ VOLLEYBALL, COACH KRISTIN HUGHEY

Mallory had a solid night passing and outside hitting. Tremendous season for these talented players. On Friday night, the team traveled to Cheektowaga and beat the Warriors in the first two sets. In game 3, the tide shifted and the Griffs could not pull out a win. After 5 hard fought games, the Griffs lost the match. The team finishes their league season with a 5 - 7 record going into playoffs. JV FOOTBALL, COACH BRIAN KADER
The Springville Griffins JV football team bounced back Wednesday night from an ugly 39 - 6 defeat at Olean a few days prior and ended their 2017 season with a 24 -14 victory over Tonawanda. The win bumped the Griffs record to 2 - 7. Nick Emmick opened the scoring with a 16 yard touchdown run on the Griffs opening possession. Tonawanda would respond after a Springville fumble to take the lead in the second quarter but the Griffs would put together another scoring drive keyed by the passing game. AJ Slippy would catch a 26 yard touchdown pass from Emmick as Springville retook the lead at 12 - 8. Emmick was a perfect 5 for 5 passing on the night with four completions coming Slippy’s way. Eric Pruitt hauled in the other reception as the Griffs totaled 85 yards through the air. Pruitt had his first interception of the season while Trevor Maracle had a sack and Marc Meissner added a forced fumble for the Springville defense in the opening half. Springville would have the ball just twice in the second half, but both drives would end in Griffin scores. Quenten Leicht scored on a seven yard run to extend the lead to 18 - 8 in the third quarter. Tonawanda would once again respond with a touchdown of their own but the Griffs would end up driving the length of the field to seal the game. Alex Elkins would score on a two yard run with less than a minute left and then intercepted the final Tonawnada pass attempt of the game as the Griffins ended their season on a high note.
Austin Yetter raced very well on the tough course. The team will now take full advantage of the 10 racing break to get ready for ECIC’s and then Sectionals. VARSITY SWIMMING AND DIVING, COACH KAREN REYNOLDS
On Wednesday, the SGI dive team consisting of Samantha Zifra, Shannon O’Hara, and Alyssa Greaves attended the ECIC dive meet at Maryvale. All three girls qualified for this meet during the season with a qualifying dive score of at least 165 points. This is very exciting for SGI to have 3 solid divers, all that are returning next season as well! At the meet, there were 8 small school divers and 13 large school. All compete the same evening, but small schools are awarded separately. At the conclusion of the meet our three SGI divers represented our district and our team! Alyssa Greaves took 3rd place, Samantha Zifra took 4th place, and Shannon O’Hara took 5th place. These place values gives SGI Swimming and Diving team 45 points towards their ECIC championship which will be concluded Saturday with the swimming finals. I am so proud of how hard these girls have worked this season with their bravery and determination to try new dives is enlightening! Shannon and Sam will be representing SGI at the Class C/Sectional Meet on Nov. 2. This past Saturday the Varsity Girls Swim Team competed in ECIC finals at Clarence High School. This year the girls finished the best they have ever in years. We took 3rd place!!! This is a huge accomplishment because last year we finished 6th overall. East Aurora led our league and Iroquois took 2nd. Many accomplishments happened at this meet that surprised us all! Elle Holland qualified for states in both the 100 free and the 100 back!!!! In addition to qualifying, she re-set and broke her own school records with two personal best times of her swim career. Her 100 free was swam in 53.85 and 100 back 1:00.36! Elle had two solid performances and took 2nd overall in both these individual events. We are so proud of Elle and her state qualifying times and look forward to what she does next week at our class meet and sectionals! McKenzie Galvin has shattered her personal best in the 500 swimming an amazing 5:54.25 taking 5th place, and in her 200 free she got another personal best of 2:11.81, fighting off the 5th place girl to earn a 4th place patch. Lauren Ditchey blasted out 2 personal best times in her individual swims surprising even herself! Her 200 IM time was a 2:30.40, taking a 5th place and her 100 breast was a 1:14.44 taking home a 3rd place patch. Carley Delaney swam her personal best in prelims for the 200 IM swimming a 2:43..05 and in the finals for 100 breast she swam her career best of 1:15.09 taking 5th place overall. Our 200 Medley Relay of Holland, Delaney, Lexi Blesy, and Allie Lavanture swam their best time, and only 1.5 seconds off the school record of a 2:01.04. They were able to pull off a 3rd place finish as well! The 200 freestyle relay of Lavanture, Hannah Bergner, Sydney Emley and Galvin took home 4th place patch as well as a best time of 1:51.36. Next week on November 1st our team will be representing Class C at ECC Burt Flickenger and our divers will be diving Thursday at Maryvale for their class meet. Another exciting meet to look forward to for our 19 girls representing SGI!
VARSITY CROSS COUNTRY, COACH CHAD RUSSELL

Volunteers Needed for Red Kettle Drive
As the leaves turn, it’s time to think about the Salvation Army Red Kettle Drive, which runs from the week of Thanksgiving through Christmas. The drive is unique in that all the raised funds which have been collected in our communities stay in our communities. The Salvation Army is available to help those in need by providing groceries, utility assistance, clothing and furniture, health needs, rent, utility bills and transient services. The Red Kettle began in 1891 when a Salvation Army Captain was looking for a way to raise money to provide a free Christmas dinner to the area’s poor. By Christmas, 1895, the kettle was being used in 30 Salvation Army locations along the West Coast area. By 1897, the kettles appeared in
Boston and New York. Today, the kettles at Christmas time continue to support holiday meals for homeless and needy families but also help the Salvation Army serve 30 million people through a myriad of other services all year long. Some services included are: disaster response services, social service programs, casework
and counseling programs for health and abuse issues, youth services, senior centers, and still Christmas programs with dinners, toys, and other assistance. If you or a group would like to volunteer a two-hour time frame to ring bells or sing carols, we are looking for people from the week of Thanksgiving through the week of Dec. 23. We have kettles at the Springville Tops, Wal-Mart on weekends, and are able to place a kettle at 56 Main Street if someone is available to man it. This is an excellent way for groups to do community service and help our neighbors at the same time. You may contact Diane Fleckenstein, the Red Kettle coordinator, at flecko59@ gmail.com or call her at 5924054, for any questions or to volunteer some time.

of a dedicated coaching staff. Coaches Baker and Bobseine proved to be exemplary role models for the children, and with the assistance of some other parents, the Pee Wee Griffins brought home the first PeeWee Championship in our town’s history. The importance of football in these young boys’ lives was evident on a daily basis. While other kids sat at home playing video games, these young men got dressed in their football pads and cleats and went to work. Running laps, doing push ups and bear crawls was just a part of the everyday workout that helped these boys realize their potential. Often times, onlookers of practice would be filled with warmth as they watched the smaller, faster boys finish their laps just to turn around and run alongside the stronger, larger boys struggling to finish. This type of teamwork and brotherly love is what good coaching and team sports conjures up within our children. As the season neared its end, 10-year-old boys who couldn’t finish a lap in August had now started to finish the laps quickly and had the endurance to immediately begin the next drill. While speaking with some of the boys on the team, I was constantly told the same thing by these young men. Each one of them had developed an incredible amount of pride for the first time in their lives. The ability to work hard all week and then perform for their families and friends on the weekend means the world
to these developing Americans. I had multiple children tell me how they used to feel awkward in school because they spoke a little funny, or they weighed more than their peers, or because they didn’t have the new fancy sneakers others had. Each of those kids said that football made all that anxiety go away. Instead, now these boys had an extended family at school. They had gained a sense of accomplishment and self worth that made them impervious to bullying. As a father of one of Coach Baker’s players, I couldn’t say enough about the atmosphere created, as it wasn’t just about football; it was about respect, love, hard work and being a stand up American. As for the game, Springville traveled to where the hills have eyes, deep in the hills of Cattaraugus. After turning onto E. Otto Road a dozen times (they name every street E. Otto apparently), the players arrived at the beautiful green and blue turf field of the Cattaraugus/Little Valley (CLV) Timberwolves. This field is used to host the Championship games for PeeWee and Midget football due to it being the best playing surface in the conference. Springville faced against the hosting Timberwolves for the Super Bowl B championship. Rumor has it that this was to be Coach Baker’s last game and this team was determined to send him off with his first Championship trophy.
As play began, the Griffins showed CLV that it was going to be a long game for them. DT Ronan Annunziata outmuscled the offensive line on nearly every play, often times beating two linemen to make the tackle in the backfield. The first score of the game came from a 20+ yard pass by QB Trey Zittel to TE Max Dell and SGI took an 8-0 lead. The Timberwolves tried to throw the ball themselves, but DB Dan Runyan made them pay with a beautiful interception as he rose above a mashup of players to take the ball away. Springville then converted on the turnover with a TD run by the bruising RB Griffin Mckinsey. Mckinsey showed all year that he was too strong and fast for the opponents, as he would often carry the ball for 10+ yards while running directly over multiple defenders. Springville controlled field position all game in large part because of numerous 45+ yard punts by Lennon Murphy. The Griffins took a 19-0 lead in the second half on another great throw by Zittel to TE Max Dell. Incredible blocking by Tyler Meade, Joe Hoffman and Nolan

Miller gave Zittel enough time to roll to his right and hit Dell on a well thrown TD pass. The Timberwolves scored once against the second team defense on a long run to the outside, but their conversion attempt was denied by Rowen Oakley as he undercut the WR route and picked off the pass. Cattaraugus tried to mount a second scoring drive, but DE Bailey Martinez wasn’t going to let that happen. CLV snapped the ball on third down and their QB was immediately pancaked by Martinez as the young man destroyed his block and put an exclamation point on the resounding Griffin victory.

It’s the big weekend before Halloween! Time to stock up on candy for trick or treaters, finish up last minute costume details and get your pumpkin ready for Tuesday night. If carving a pumpkin or two is on your list, read on for great tips to make your carving go a little smoother and your pumpkins last longer. Even if pumpkin carving is not on your agenda, especially if you have young children or are short on time, there are lots of fun no-carve ways to decorate your gourds! When it comes to carving your pumpkin, however intricate your design, it’s all in the prep work! Just like any other fruit, a pumpkin is perishable, and as soon as you cut it, it starts to decompose. It’s a good idea to wait to carve your pumpkin until 24 to 48 hours before you plan to display it so it doesn’t rot too soon. Be sure to have plenty of water handy as you carve—spray or dab the pumpkin as you work to keep it more work-able, as pumpkins lose moisture quickly. The next step is getting rid of all the “guts”! If you’ve ever cut out your pumpkin lid only to have it drop straight down into the pumpkin, you’re not alone. To fix this common blunder, cut your lid at a slight angle, which will keep it in place. Then, use an ice scream scoop to remove the stringy innards and seeds: scoop, scoop, and then scoop some more! Continue to scrape the inside of the pumpkin (the side where the design will be carved) until it’s about 1.25 inches thick, which will make it much easier to carve. Although the kids may love tossing the pumpkin guts at each other, there are other great uses for the gooey slime that usually gets thrown away. Did you know you can use the guts to make some pumpkin stock? Separate the seeds from the guts, and place the guts in a pot
filled with water. Boil the guts (and any other vegetable pieces you’d like to use up) for about 30 minutes or until the water starts to change color. Strain the stock and reserve the broth for soups or casseroles—a tasty vegetarian alternative that also freezes well. For a delicious, healthy snack, roast those pumpkin seeds. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees and toss the seeds in melted butter or oil and a bit of salt. On a baking sheet, spread the seeds in a single layer and bake for about 45 minutes or until lightly browned (be sure to stir occasionally for even roasting). There are lots of unique pumpkin carving templates available on Pinterest, and choosing a few is half the fun! Once you’ve selected your design or made up your own, trace it onto the pumpkin and carefully carve with a paring knife. Spread Vaseline on the cut surfaces of the pumpkin to keep them from browning too quickly and to lock in moisture. Sprinkle some cinnamon on the lid of your pumpkin after the candle has been lit for a wonderful spicy aroma. Want to try something new? The possibilities for decorating a pumpkin are endless, and there’s a style to suit everyone’s taste and time constraints. Of course, painting your pumpkin
with washable acrylics is a great, fast way to spruce it up, but for a fun twist, paint your gourd with black chalkboard paint, and write on it. Draw fun designs or arrows to direct trick or treaters or party-goers to your house. If you prefer a little bling, try gluing rhinestones to your painted pumpkin or make unique designs using thumbtacks. Paper doilies make great inexpensive stencils for spray painting or use tape to make designs and spray paint for a color blocking effect. Experiment with different textures and fabrics by wrapping your pumpkin in burlap and lace, or use medical gauze and large craft store “googly eyes” to make a pumpkin mummy! The possibilities are only as limited as your imagination, so gather your pumpkins and your craft supplies, and get ready for a fun weekend!

Magic and More for Audiences of All Ages
By Elizabeth Riggs
For Dave Jeffers, it began with a magic kit he got as a Christmas present. And the local, award-winning magician never stopped. This year marks 25 years that he has been performing and doing magic shows around the area. Dave Jeffers Magic includes both Magician Dave and his wife Kathleen Jeffers, who is a clown. She went to Pricilla Mooseburger Clown School – a Ringling Brothers clown, who does clown classes and schools. Together, the Springville-based couple offers the full spectrum of entertainment, ranging from magic acts to full-blown shows and performances that come to the audience. “We started out just doing magic shows and then we expanded our business to do WOW events. We don’t just come and do a show – we create an event,” said Kathleen Jeffers. The events are called Creative Learning Shows, which the Jeffers offer yearround with seasonal themes. During the fall, the Pumpkin Patch events are most popular as the Jeffers have at least two or more shows nearly every day in October. “A lot of daycares can’t afford to rent a bus to take kids to a pumpkin patch. We can come in and transform their setting into a pumpkin patch and have everything they would have for the event. We bring animals, we do scarecrow making, we have pumpkins, backdrops, magicians, decorations and we transform their space into the pumpkin patch,” said Jeffers. Pumpkin patch events include live animals like ducks, rabbits and chickens, which make great photo opportunities for parents, and each
child receives a pumpkin. Each class also has the opportunity to make their own scarecrow. The Jeffers do shows yearround, and during the holiday season they host Santa’s Workshops events, which include a Christmas carol singa-long, an incredible floating snow ball, a 7-foot tall Frosty the Snowman, a snowstorm inside the host’s building, and a free gift for every child. “For Christmas, we are doing Santa’s workshops. They include a professional backdrop, Santa, a face painter, a magician, snow cones, and each child gets a certificate that says they were on the good list. They also get reindeer dust so Santa can find them,” Jeffers said. The beauty of the events the Jeffers host are that they are true learning experiences for the children. Unlike magic shows that include just tricks, the Jeffers’ Creative Learning Events provide educational information and hands-on experiences. “All of them are hands on. They aren’t just sitting and watching something – they are doing too,” said Jeffers. “They are learning all about Santa – it’s not just them sitting on lap and taking pictures. They are learning about the North Pole, and what it’s like to take care of reindeer, how many cookies he likes to eat, the history of Christmas, history of Santa.” Other seasonal shows include beach parties to take the chill off the winter months, Easter WOW, which is a spring magic show featuring a visit from the Easter Bunny and live chicks, rabbits and ducklings; and Christmas in July including the holiday festivities and décor along with a holiday-themed magic show. “Summertime we do a whole reading program for all of the
libraries and daycares. That one is called readers are leaders,” said Jeffers. “We are looking for businesses to sponsor them because a lot of libraries don’t have the budgeting.” The Jeffers are constantly traveling around the greater Western New York area, Bradford, PA, Rochester and Corning areas for shows. Most recently they have received awards from IT Factor Live!, a group of magicians that travel worldwide. The couple is still booking Santa’s Workshop shows for the holiday season, and requests audiences in the range of 5 to 9 years old. According to Kathleen, despite the fatigue from constant shows and traveling, she couldn’t find her job more fulfilling. “When you see those kids and their eyes just light up when they see the pumpkins, and the animals, and they are playing the games and playing with the hay – it is so much fun. Dave is such a great entertainer. He’s so good with the kids. Every show is different because the kids react to him in a different way – they just laugh, and laugh, and laugh.” She encourages local daycares and businesses to consider scheduling a show. “If you are looking for something that is more than just a show or an event, something that the children will love and that will bring the families together in their schools or daycares, that’s what we do,” Jeffers said. “We are designed to bring families together and make kids laugh.” For more information on booking a Creative Learning Show, visit www. creativelearningshows. com.

Horse and Hope
Kasie tells her story: “I grew up like a lot of kids around here, somehow involved in agriculture. For me, it was my grandpa, Dan Blesy. He was the guy who taught me what road apples are. If you don’t know— it’s what comes from the back end of a house. Grandpa had big Percheron/Belgian cross draft horses. As I was growing up, he would hook them to a wagon and as a family, we would go on rides with the Collins, Draft Horse, Ox & Pony club. A long line of wagons and outriders on a beautiful day-it was an awesome sight for any kid. What I remember most about those rides, besides the awesome food that always followed, was the smile on my grandpa’s face. He always had a smile, a big one. There were three things that made him smile: One, his family. He was always proud of us and he made it a point to be at every major event; Two, grilled hotdogs with ice cream for dessert. His favorite ice cream was vanilla with butterscotch; Three, farm projects. He was always puttering around welding this, building that, tinkering like crazy. Through this, my grandpa loved sharing his love for horses. Horses were in his blood. Besides wagon rides with the club, he always supported community events. Every year he’d hitch up and do the Ride for Roswell, the WNY Dairy/ Ag Fest parade and always the plow fest held in Collins! At 75, my grandpa started to feel tired, lethargic-just not like his normal self. After a broad band of tests, they diagnosed him with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, AML for short on March 13, 2014. He dove in head first and started to fight! I mean, he had to get better because he was giving me away at my wedding in September 2014. He fought his battle from March 13, 2014 until May 13, 2014. He passed away four months to the day he was to give me away. It was also my niece’s 17th birthday. It was hard on our family, hit us all in a different way.” Kasie goes on to tell that it was Lauralee’s draft horses, Doc and Dan, that were the team that carried him to his final resting place in the cemetery. “They looked so regal and elegant; it was the perfect matched team to carry him. After we lost my grandpa, the farm was sold along with all his animals...but he is always with us, although he never owned Doc and Dan, I drive by them often and I smile...it’s like him saying, ‘Hi!’” Kasie feels that being around Doc and Dan brings back so many happy memories from her childhood, “Back when life was simple and easy. Back when my grandpa was around to turn to for solid advice, or just to talk with when you were having a bad day.” She furthers this by saying that, “It amazes me how much feeling these brutes can muster from a person, having a connection like that with horses is something special.” She recalled the first time she drove by and saw the horses: “I made my husband stop his truck, right on Main Street so I could just drink in their sight. I was so surprised to see those

magnificent boys standing in a pasture just down the road from me! I have Lauralee and Jay to thank for that!” Kasie continues her story: “This past May, right around the 3-year mark of losing him, I started to feel tired and lethargic, started getting headaches just like him, but I’m young, I chalked it up to two jobs! I let it go and just kept working.” Kasie said that by August of this year, “I went to Mercy hospital for leg swelling and redness” She jokes, “After my husband put his foot down—he was sick of me complaining-haha.” “At Mercy Hospital, they came in and told me that I had Leukemia. They weren’t sure what kind or how aggressive, but they told me I wasn’t going home, rather I was going by ambulance to Roswell. There I met Dr. Elizabeth Griffiths, she is one of the Leukemia specialists. She threw a lot of basic information at me really fast , yet she helped calm my jittery nerves.” As Kasie tells it, Dr. Griffiths was the one who confirmed her worst nightmare— it was AML. “I wasn’t supposed to have this cancer! It’s an “older person’s cancer,” she said. The next day, Kasie had her first bone marrow biopsy. The results came back that her cancer was caused from a glitch on her 16 chromosome, called inversion 16. “This was actually good news! It showed I had ‘favorable’ Leukemia! It meant that it should respond well to chemo! Yay! With all that good news, of course, the other shoe had to drop, and it dropped in two ways: the first was that my anniversary was a month away. I want kids some day.” The doctors told her that if she waited to freeze eggs, Kasie wouldn’t live through the hormone treatment. She explained, “My cancer was too advanced and we needed to start treatment.” The second way she added, “Due to the headaches I experienced, the doctor had me do a lumbar puncture test to test if the cancer was in my CNS, central nervous system, meaning my brain and spine.” That also came back positive. With a solid week of chemotherapy, she also received lumbar punctures. The lumbar punctures would continue until there were two negative readings. “That Wednesday night, they hooked me up to my first bag of chemo, I’d have a bag a day for seven days. The first three days, I also received a small bag that lasted 30 minutes, of a drug they affectionately call ‘napalm. It kills everything your body. It made my hair fall out, it was bright red.” Kasie explained, “That first
week I felt fine, I didn’t have the nausea or lack of appetite they talked about. The second week is when it started. I didn’t want to do anything, I didn’t want to see anyone, I felt like death. Little did I know, it would get worse during week three. Week three is called ‘hell week’ and for good reason. I couldn’t move, I couldn’t eat, I had mouth sores the size of nickels—all I wanted was to die.” She explained that the love of her unwavering family, and the amazing staff at Roswell, she got through it. “I survived hell week and came out smiling. Week four is when you start to feel like your old self again though the nausea lingers. Food starts to sound okay again and the mouth sores heal.” Explaining the emotions you go through, Kasie said, “When the days during hell week got really bad, I started looking for someone to blame, someone or something I could point at and ask, ‘Why me?’ ‘Why right now with everything going on?’ Kasie explained that she and her husband, Steve, were finally going to take a honeymoon at the end of October to Disney World. A honeymoon after three years. She still asks, “So why did it have to be me?” Kasie has come to some conclusions,” It had to be me. I’m the one in my family that’s strong enough to go through all of this, the poking, the prodding, the feeling like death, the losing my hair and having to redefine who I was as a person...I’m the only one that can handle this burden, fight it and come out with a smile on my face.” She still has a long road ahead of her. As Kasie put it, “On the day they give me the all clear I’m going to go to grandpa’s headstone and proudly tell him ‘I beat our cancer!’ To do what he, the strongest man I’d ever known, wasn’t able to accomplish.” Kasie has two big hopes: that no one else in her family gets cancer and that others fighting cancer know that they are not fighting this alone. With horses, who can be alone? I know that everyone will think of Kasie and her fight as they drive by LJ Grand Livery Stables. As Kasie told her story, it was great that Doc and Dan, the LJ horses, have been able to remind Kasie of her grandpa’s fight, but also be comforting to her as she fights the same cancer . As Lauralee and Jay have maintained, the purpose for LJ Grand Livery is to give back to the community and in some ways it has been a “Make-A-Wish” for many people young and old in the Springville community. For information on the stables and horses, the ranch can reached at 359-2227.

Stillhouse Brewery & Distillery Coming to Ellicottville
Oct. 26-Nov. 1, 2017
Last Weekend for Pumpkinville and Nightmare Hayrides
By Rick Miller
A Buffalo native, William Bursee plans to bring a little bit of Buffalo to Ellicottville. The two-story building taking shape on Route 219 across from Tim Hortons will house a restaurant/bar with 54 taps, Bursee said during a recent tour of the facility. An attached 5,000-squarefoot facility will brew a variety of beers and distill liquors. “I grew up in Buffalo,” said Bursee, a retired building contractor who now lives in Springville. “I used to shine shoes in the BroadwayFillmore area.” The trademarked beers will be named after the Buffalo neighborhoods: Iron Island, Black River, Kaisertown, First Ward and Fruit Belt. “They all have a history,” he said. “We’re going to brew beer to the style of the neighborhoods.” The bar/restaurant and microbrewery/distillery will employ between 10 and 14 people in its first year. The $750,000 project received tax assistance from the Cattaraugus County Industrial Development Agency and a loan from the Cattaraugus County Economic Development Loan Fund. Tim Hooker of Springville, a former teacher and longtime craft beer brewer, will direct the brewing operation. The microbrewery will be brewing a variety of beers, from IPAs to stout, porter to pale ales.

Bill Bursee (right), owner of North Delaware Holdings LLC and Stillhouse of Buffalo LLC, talks with his brewer, Tim Hooker, a former Springville teacher and longtime craft brewer on the types of beer they are planning on producing at the Stillhouse of Buffalo on Route 219 in Ellicottville. The bar will feature 54 taps including Stillhouse varieties named after Buffalo neighborhoods.
Besides feeding the Stillhouse of Buffalo’s taps, barrels will be bound for Buffalo bars as well. Bursee has already looked at canning his beers. The restaurant/bar will feature a wood-fired and gasfired pizza oven, Bursee said. It will also feature all fresh foods, including some favorite Buffalo foods including fish frys served with a slide of rye bread. Bursee hopes to have the restaurant/bar open before the end of winter. “I’m shooting for February,” he said. “I’ll be able to bring more business to Ellicottville,” said Bursee. “Once Buffalo knows one of their own has opened a
Bill Bursee stands outside the bar/restaurant and brewery/distillery he’s building on Route 219 across from Tim Horton’s in Ellicottville. The bar/restaurant is expected to open in February or March 2018, but could begin producing beer sometime next month. Stillhouse of Buffalo taking shape in Ellicottville
bar/restaurant down here, they will come. We’ll have good, fresh bar food, locally sourced fresh foods.” Bursee’s wife, Racquel, a BOCES teacher in the Pioneer District, has experimented with craft beer cupcakes, which should show up at the Stillhouse of Buffalo next summer. Bursee is repurposing an old coffeemaker from the defunct Great Valley Youth Camp into a chiller for some of the darker craft beers that will be on tap at the ground floor bar. There is a second bar on the second floor, which can also be used for receptions. There will be a balcony looking down on the stage for live music. “We’re going to have a lot of different beers and try to keep it top quality,” Bursee said. “We want your experience here to be a great one.” Bursee has been working alongside the owner and employees of Jenn-Co Construction of Springville. “I’ve done this my whole life,” he said of the construction. Bursee said he plans to focus on the brewery and restaurant/ bar first and wait to develop the distillery business. He’s already got recipes for beer and spirits he can’t wait to try out with the craft brewing operation and distillery. For more info, visit www. stillhouseevl.com.

Springville Center for the Arts, a membership-owned charitable organization dedicated to promoting and increasing access to the arts, relies largely on volunteers to make the organization successful. According to their website, “Volunteers make everything happen from mowing the lawn, working with performing artists, hammering nails, making cookies, answering phones to operating the sound board.” Jobs range in terms of physical demand, time, and frequency, so there is truly something for everyone to do to help make a difference. In order to volunteer at SCA, contact Volunteer Coordinator, Tracy, at volunteer@springvillearts.org or call (716) 592-9038.
