Gobble for Groceries Thanksgiving Day By Alicia Dziak

For many people, Thanksgiving includes a feast of carved turkey and all the fixings—a table filled to the brim with buttery mashed potatoes, seasoned stuffing, cheesy casseroles, pumpkin pie and more. But not everyone has the luxury of an over-thetop dinner on this day or many other days during the year, and many people turn to local food pantries to source their meals. In Springville, this place is the Trading Post, located at 38 Franklin Street, which provides numerous food items to local families in need, as well as a kitchen that serves meals. The Trading Post provides meals or food items to over 40,000 people a year, and stocking its shelves is an ongoing priority. One way to help with this initiative is the Gobble for Groceries, a 5K and fun walk that happens Thanksgiving morning. “Gobble for Groceries is a great way to start

Thanksgiving,” said Christine Greene, who chairs the event with Rick Manzone and Joe Wolniewicz. “You’re in and out by 10 a.m.” The event began because a group of local runners who regularly attended Buffalo’s busy Turkey Trot, suggested doing something local that benefited Springville. Gobble for Groceries was born, starting

with only about 25 runners that first year, and has grown to include about 250 participants. Instead of a traditional race entry fee, event organizers ask for a monetary donation for the Trading Post. “With every dollar we get, we can buy $7 of food,” explained Greene.

SGCEF Fundraiser to Benefit SGI Technology Program

By Jennifer Weber

The Springville-Griffith Community Education Foundation (SGCEF) Annual Wine Tasting and Silent Auction will take place on Saturday, Nov. 4 from 6-8 p.m. at the Springville Health and Fitness Club located at 243 West Main Street in Springville. This year’s major grant recipient is the SGI Technology and Engineering Program in support of their purchase of a specialized CNC laser, which will be used across the technology, art and business curriculum at the school. The CNC laser is an extremely versatile tool which can cut or engrave on materials such as wood, acrylic, fabric, glass, cardboard, ceramic and anodized aluminum, allowing students to make professional projects,

prototypes and templates and create work at a higher level. SGI Technology teacher Jonathan Shelley said, “Here in Springville we are in desperate need of some new equipment that will allow our students

to perform at new levels. The CNC laser is that tool; it’s quick and easy and very affordable to run.” Shelly continued, “We are striving to develop classes and curriculum that will allow students to thrive in our technical world, as well as help to develop a creative passionate learner. It also an amazing motivator for students to create things they never thought they could.” The CNC laser will be unveiled at Saturday’s event, with Shelley providing live laser demonstrations engraving glass mugs. The SGCEF is dedicated to enhancing and expanding opportunities for students and their communities served by the school district and serves as an advocate for promoting and fostering collaborations. “Over the past 10 years, the See SGCEF Fundraiser page 2

Voters Reminded Election Day Will Have a Two-Sided Ballot Nov. 2017 Column from Erie County Legislator John Mills

A question I have heard a lot recently is about the “vote no” signs seen throughout our community and what it means. I am glad to hear this question asked because the issue behind the signs is very important. On this coming Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 7, voters will have a two-sided ballot. On the front side will be the contests for county, town and city races, depending on where you reside. On the reserve side will be three New York State referendums. Do not forget to flip over your ballot before casting your vote. On the back is where you will find the “vote no” issue, which is regarding the New York State Constitutional Convention. Much has been said about this proposal and every voter has to decide for themselves how they wish to vote. The question voters are being asked on the ballot is: Should New York State convene a convention? NYS is required to pose the question to voters every 20 years. You will have two other proposals to consider. Number two, if approved, would

allow the complete or partial forfeiture of a public official’s pension if he or she is convicted of a certain type of felony. I personally support this measure. It is a privilege to serve and those who abuse it should not be rewarded. The third proposal authorizes the use of forest preserve land for specified purposes by creating a land account with up to 250 acres of forest preserve land eligible for use by towns, villages, and counties that have no viable alternative to using forest preserve land to address specific public health and safety concerns; as a substitute for the land removed from the forest preserve, another 250 acres of land, will be added to the forest preserve, subject to legislative approval. The proposed amendment also will allow bicycle trails and certain public utility lines to be located within the width of specified highways that cross the forest preserve while minimizing removal of trees and vegetation. The three proposals are separate items and are a simple yes or no question. Again, how

each person decides to vote is up to them, but it is important for voters to remember this year’s ballot is two-sided. Polls will be open on Election Day from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. If you don’t know where to vote, please visit www.elections. erie.gov or call 858-8891. Any other general questions can also be answered by visiting the website or by calling. In another matter, the County’s Department of Senior Services is conducting its annual public hearings to gain input from the public on its services and programs. If you wish to comment, you can attend the final hearing, scheduled from 12:30 to 2 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 9 at the East Aurora Senior Center, 101 King St., East Aurora.

By Carlee Frank

A few facts about veterinary medicine: Earning a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) takes four years of rigorous study; there are currently 41 recognized veterinary specialties such as dentistry, ophthalmology and exotic animal practice; and as of 2016, there were nearly 108,000 veterinarians in the United States. Luckily enough, those of us in the Springville area don’t have to travel very far in case of a pet illness or annual checkup. Located at 417 Waverly Street, the Springville Animal Hospital provides many animal care services. “When you go to the veterinarian, you’re getting everything done under one roof,” Dr. Michael Reilly, owner and DVM of the Springville Animal Hospital, said. “I’m diagnosing your pet and taking the x-ray right here; I’m running the blood work here and if I do a urinalysis, I’m doing that here too. And after all of that, I can prescribe the medication, then you’re on your way.” The Springville Animal Hospital was opened in 1946 by Dr. Roland Whitehead and his wife, Gerd Whitehead. It was moved to its current location in 1964 as the practice grew. Throughout the following decades, many veterinarians took ownership of the practice, and in 1995, the torch was passed to Dr. Reilly. Like many young adults,

finding his dream career required a series of twists and turns. It began with an interest in engineering, followed by a Bachelor of Science in biochemistry and ended with an epiphany. “I love being a sportsman and I love wildlife so I thought, well, I would love to take care of the deer, hawks and owls,” Dr. Reilly said. He then pursued a degree in small animal veterinarian medicine at Ross University and Oklahoma State University. He currently works with fellow DVM Dr. Gary Schmitz, a staff of vet technicians and administration coordinators. “I have some of the best staff now, and the technicians are great. We’re more like family than employees,” Dr. Reilly said. While his staff is an integral part of the practice, he said the reason they work so hard is for the pets. Roughly 60 percent of patients at the animal hospital are dogs and the other 40 percent are cats. He does not work with exotic animals, but does see some ferrets, hedgehogs and guinea pigs. The most common reason pets come to the hospital is for annual checkups, vaccinations and surgeries, but many visit for things such as skin issues. “It’s surprising how many allergies that pets have, and people also don’t always understand the threat of fleas and ticks,” Dr. Reilly said. Pets will come in with hot spots, chewed spots, parasites and much more. He tries not to let owners leave the premises without flea and tick medicine, especially, he said, with the rising tick problem. Dr. Reilly added that working with pets means he gets to know their owners. He said he likes knowing everyone on a first name basis. Many of his clients even bring in cookies and treats, or stop at Tim Hortons on their way to bring in donuts. “This community is fantastic –so many down to earth, good

WWW.TRICOUNTYSUPPLY.COM people out here in the country,” Dr. Reilly said. Owning his own practice means he has control of how he treats his clients. While he noted that some vets can be hard-nosed, he wants pet owners to know he isn’t trying to nickel and dime them. He gives breaks where he can, but as the standard for veterinary medicine increases, so do the prices. “We used to do everything on a budget –neuters and spays were very reasonable,” Dr. Reilly said. However, the American Animal Hospital Association and American Veterinary Medical Association have raised the bar on what “good medicine” means. Now vets must perform pre-surgical blood testing on all animals, and every pet must receive post-surgical pain relief. While Dr. Reilly agrees with these standards, it certainly adds to the bill. This is why he would never sell his practice to corporations that buy out private veterinary clinics across the U.S. He said he would rather maintain personal relationships with pets and pet owners, and be in charge of the way he treats both. Springville Animal Hospital is open 8 a.m. Monday through Saturday, and close at 6 p.m. Monday and Wednesday, 5 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and noon on Saturday.

The varsity volleyball team ended their 2017 season Monday night in semi-finals losing to Alden in a long 5 set match. The Griffs played well but dropped the first 2 games, 25-21 and 25-16. But the girls came back with force winning games 3 and 4. Caroline Roy was an unstoppable force at the net with 9 kills and 8 blocks in those games. Sydney Rosati’s defense was incredibly consistent all night. sydney is credited for 21 assists. Senior and captain Mallory Robel also played solid defense and served for 17 points during the match. The crowd was on its feet for the deciding game #5. Alden started with a lead, and the Griffs just couldn’t close the gap. MVP of the night goes to freshman setter Rachel Stressinger! Rachel was called up to varsity just last week and stepped in to set a 5-1 for playoffs. Congratulations to the whole team for a tremendous season!!

Last Wednesday night, the Varsity Griffins wrapped up their 2017 season with a 42 - 18 loss at Alden. The defeat dropped the Griffs to 1 - 8 for their campaign. Alden would take a 14 - 0 lead early on following a pair of long touchdown passes, but the Griffins would battle back. Jordan Salzler keyed a Springville scoring drive with a 38 yard run and finished the scoring march with a 2 yard touchdown run to pull the Griffs within 8 points. Jake Perkins forced a fumble for the Springville defense on the ensuing Alden drive. The Griffs would capitalize on the turnover and punch in a 2 yard touchdown run by Matt Evans to tighten the score to 14 - 12. Springville’s defense made sure this score held up until halftime as Topher Elkins and Luke O’Neal would each grab interceptions late in the second quarter. Jackson Richert and Andrew Lazarus would combine on another forced fumble in the fourth quarter that Springville recovered. The four forced turnovers marked a new season high after registering their previous high of three in last week’s victory over Tonawanda. Alden continued to pour on the big plays in the second half as they scored on touchdown runs of 95, 18, and 53 yards to build what would turn out to be a big enough lead to secure the win. Springville would add their final score of the season as Nick Emmick would connect on a 43 yard touchdown pass to Kyle Albrecht. Bryson Black tallied his first 100 yard rushing game for the Griffins in the season ending 42 - 18 defeat. MODIFIED GIRLS’ SOCCER, COACH CHRIS MATHEWSON

SWAT Splashes Into Springville

At 7:59 a.m. on Oct. 28, the water of the Springville-Griffith Institute High School pool was calm and still. By 8:01 a.m., the water had transformed into a churning well of splashes and shouts, as 110 swimmers began warmups and practice laps for the SWAT Spooktacular Splash. SWAT - or the Springville Waves Aquatic Team - is a volunteer run athletic organization that coordinates training and competitions from September through March each year. It serves as an important feeder program for the powerhouse teams at SGI. This meet welcomed teams from Arcade (AAST), Franklinville (FVST), Gowanda (GWST) and Genesee Valley’s Aquajags. Sixty-six heats proceeded like clockwork over three hours under the watchful eyes of swimming officials, coaches, club officers and parent volunteers. Races ranged from the 25 yard freestyle for the youngest swimmers to the 500 yard free that concluded the

Celebrate Fall: Post-Halloween Fun

By Mary Heyl

Halloween has come and gone, but before you start putting up the holiday decorations, enjoy your jack-o-lantern and Halloween candy for just a few more days! Read on for fun ideas for your decaying pumpkin, preparing for next year’s gourds and new ways to enjoy the kids’ Halloween candy. No matter how many hours you spend carving your pumpkins, they just never seem to last long enough to enjoy for more than a day or two. But you can stretch out the fun just a little longer by using your old pumpkin instead of throwing it away. Carved pumpkins make

great temporary planters, so pick up a few annuals or perennials and repot them in your jack-olantern to decorate your porch for a week. When the pumpkin starts to break down, you can plant the whole thing right in your backyard. The pumpkin will naturally compost and provide fertilizer for your plant! Rotting pumpkins and uneaten seeds make great food for the birds. Cut out the front of your jack-o-lantern, starting at the top of the mouth and working your way up to the eyes. Set it out on your porch, birdbath or a nearby stump and fill it with leftover pumpkin seeds and other kinds of birdseed. You can continue to refill it throughout the month or cut up your empty bird feeder into smaller chunks and compost it for next year’s garden (or for other critters to enjoy feasting on!). It’s never too early to think about next year’s jack-o-lantern. Save some of the pumpkin seeds from this year’s gourd and let them dry. Store them in a cool, dark place (but not too cold) throughout the winter

and spring months. Late May throughout the first couple weeks of June is the ideal time to plant your pumpkin seeds so that your pumpkins will be ripe and ready to harvest in October. If you’ve found yourself in the rare position of having lots of leftover Halloween candy, you’re in for a real treat. Nancy Heishman’s Crazy Halloween Blondies are a delicious way to incorporate those leftovers into a tasty dessert that everyone will enjoy. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and line a 13x9 pan with parchment paper, letting the ends extend up the sides. Grease the paper. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup of melted butter and 2 cups of packed brown sugar until blended. Beat in 2 large eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla. In a large bowl, mix 2 cups of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Gradually add this to the brown sugar mixture, mixing well. Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped pecans and 1/3 cup each of the following goodies:

M&Ms, chopped candy corn, coarsely chopped mini pretzels, chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. Spread into the prepared pan and bake 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack. Spread a jar (12 oz) of hot caramel ice cream topping over the bars, and sprinkle with ½ cup of chopped pecans and 1/3 cup each of M&Ms, candy corn, pretzels, chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. Lifting the parchment paper, remove the bars from the pan and cut into bars (approximately 2 dozen). Enjoy this ooey gooey tasty treat!

It will be time well spent!

Steam Train Excursions For Veterans

The Buffalo, Cattaraugus & Jamestown Scenic Railway in Hamburg will offer train excursions behind a vintage 1920s-era steam locomotive on Nov. 11 and 12 to honor veterans of all eras and to remember the vital role the rails had in victory. Trains will depart Hamburg’s historic Erie Railroad Depot, 4 Scott St., for a 12-mile round trip to Eden. Departure times for the one and a half hour journeys are 10 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. During World War II, America’s railroads helped

to defeat the Axis by moving millions of tons of raw materials, wartime goods and massive numbers of troops. As America’s second largest railroad hub and a key producer of aircraft, vehicles and other critical wartime supplies, Buffalo’s home front efforts and successes were tied to trains. More important than supplies, railroads transported our parents, grandparents and relatives far away from home to boot camp, training bases and eventually off to war. Passengers will travel in

vintage railroad equipment that includes two late 1920s era passenger cars that once shuttled commuters in New York City on the Long Island Railroad. An open air car will be available for those who want to photograph the sights along the way. Tickets are $10 for veterans, active military and auxiliary members; $20 for adults and $18 for children. Tickets may be purchase online at www. bcjrailroad.com. For information, call 6493079.

Rail Trail Officials Welcome Additions to Springville Trail

Recently Deborah Fenn and Gary Willert, Co Chairs of Erie Cattaraugus Rail Trail visited Springville to inspect Community supported additions to the Trail. The Little Library and the Western New York

Southtowns Scenic Byway information sign have been placed at the trailhead on West Main Street in Springville. The Little Library project was spearheaded by Kara Kane and funded by the a grant from

the Springville GI Community Foundation. The WNYSSB informational sign was funded by the a grant secured by Chair John Mills. Chairman Mills will be in Springville on Nov. 6, at 6 p.m. to officially introduce the new sign. Mayor Bill Krebs said, “The trail improvements show broad support in the local community and in Erie County of Erie Cattaraugus Rail Trail. By investing in the Byway and the trial, the County recognizes the importance of tourism to Southern Erie County.”

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.

donation, they can also “pay” with a bag of groceries. (Editor’s note: If paying with groceries, this should not include all the expired food from your pantry or items that need to be refrigerated. Items should include staples like peanut butter, spaghetti sauce and cereal.) The fun, informal race is not chip-timed. The route has been tweaked slightly from last year’s, but still begins and ends at the Trading Post, at 38 Franklin Street in Springville. The course splits for the 5K and the 2-mile fun walk. Awards will be given for male and female, over and under 40, as well as some non-traditional awards for oldest competitor and who came from the furthest away.

Manzone will DJ the event. Other highlights include a postrace party that includes coffee from Tim Horton’s, a variety of snacks, an auction for a oneyear gym membership and, of course, a turkey mingling with the crowd for all your race photo opps. “Our turkey has been sidelined this year,” Greene

said, adding that they are looking for someone to fill its feathers. If you’d like to spend Thanksgiving morning in a turkey suit making people smile, contact Greene at (716) 535-9721. Volunteers are also needed for traffic control, t-shirt sales and registration. If you can spare a few hours of your time, contact Greene at (716) 535-9721. Greene hopes to see this event grow again this year. “It really demonstrates the true meaning of Thanksgiving,” she said. Registration for Gobble for Groceries begins at 8 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 23, with the race starting at 9.

Letters to the Editor

To the Editor: There’s the saying, “you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone,” that I think about from time to time when I remember Tri-County Memorial Hospital in Gowanda. I was a registered nurse at Tri-County when the village flooded and the hospital closed. I then became a full-time employee at Bertrand Chaffee Hospital before taking another registered nurse position in Gowanda. I remain a per-diem nurse in the BCH emergency department. From where I sit, I have a good view as to the value of local hospitals, both in terms of keeping people healthy and making for a thriving area. The loss of Tri-County Hospital ripped a hole in our community. Jobs were lost and healthcare services were diminished. There’s a gap that may be filled, but the scars will remain for a long time. Sadly, that’s a scenario that has played out at other rural hospitals across the country. In contrast, BCH has created a healthcare facility that not only offers vital and needed services, it is a hospital that has withstood the test of time. That hospital’s future, with the multimillion dollar state funding award and investment in primary care and technology, is assured. As I look to my east toward Springville, I have a message for the people of Springville and the leadership at Bertrand Chaffee Hospital: keep doing what you’re doing. Your growth has been steady and your services have kept up with community needs. I am glad to know that your hospital is there for me and for my neighbors. Sincerely, Katie Pawlak, RN Gowanda Editor: My name is Ken Zittel and I am currently a Town of Concord Councilman. Having worked on the board with Clyde Drake and Jim Krezmien I can attest to their ability to work with the other board members and make a positive impact for the town. We are currently working to bring broadband (internet) to the rural areas of our town. Upgrades to Community Park are also being reviewed for collaborative funding grants to make changes affordable. I serve on the Comprehensive Plan committee along with Councilman Drake as we look to possible future developments for the Town of Concord and the best plan to implement future changes. We have passed Wind and Solar laws to control where and how this energy can be adopted for use in our town. I enjoy working with these men who have the best interest of all town residents at heart and understand the burden addition taxation brings to the residents. We have just passed the town budget for 2018 and I am happy to report there is no tax increase to the general town budget. Based on my past working relationship with Clyde Drake and Jim Krezmien I enthusiastically endorse Clyde Drake for Supervisor and Jim Krezmien for Councilman. Phil Drozd is running for the remaining councilman seat on the board and brings a knowledge of town government as a former Concord Highway Superintendent. He is also a retired Erie County Highway Engineer and brings relationships and knowledge of County government to the town board. These are the men that will provide you with responsible town government. I encourage you to vote for Clyde Drake for Town Supervisor, and Jim Krezmien and Phil Drozd for Councilmen. Please vote on November 7th. Sincerely, Ken Zittel, Concord Town Councilman Editor: My name is Paul Salzler and I served on the Concord town board for nine years. During my tenure I had the pleasure of working with both Jim Krezmien and Clyde Drake. Together we were able to hold the line on tax increases while making improvements to the town. Together we worked hard to bring the seniors of this community the Concord Senior Center as well as providing the Concord Senior Van transportation service. The roads owned by the Town of Concord have been maintained in great shape with purchases of needed highway equipment. We have worked side by side with the Fire Departments and Mercy EMS to provide for the safety of our town residents. The town has contributed to many youth programs such as SYI for example to keep our youth active. Improvements to the town were always made with concern for the taxpayer’s dollars and how it would affect the tax rates. Having worked with Clyde Drake and Jim Krezmien as councilmen on the town board I have firsthand knowledge of their abilities and integrity. I highly encourage you to vote for the experienced team of Clyde Drake for Supervisor with Jim Krezmien and Phil Drozd for Councilmen. Together they will move the Town of Concord forward maximizing your tax dollars with affordable improvements and services. Sincerely, Paul Salzler, Past Councilman

East Otto Country Holiday Open House Nov. 4-5

East Otto Country Associates, a talented group of rural artists in northern Cattaraugus County, will once again bring handmade treasures to the people of Western NY on Nov. 4 and 5 at their Holiday Open House. The association was formed in 1986 in a collaborative effort to share advertising costs and make the public aware of their unique products. By joining together to create a brochure and attractive roadside signage, the original six member businesses began something that has brought thousands of customers to the Otto-East Otto area for over three decades. East Otto Country presently consists of two member businesses: Brookside Studio Watercolors, and Hog Shed Studio Pottery.

Artist Robin Zefers Clark is the owner of Brookside Studio Watercolors located on County Rd. No. 13 in Otto, NY. Drawing on her love of old photographs and storytelling, Robin creates original watercolor paintings which relate an ongoing pictorial record of life in rural WNY. Robin displays her paintings in her Amish-built studio gallery along with a great selection of limited edition prints and note cards. Robin has recently begun to work with oil paints as well, adding a new dimension to her creativity. For her studio hours and information of commissioned artwork, you can contact Robin at (716) 7135359. Located just down the road is Hog Shed Studio Pottery, one of the founding member businesses

Music and song, provided by Michael Nugent, will be a mixture of jazz, Cajun and Southern rhythms. The Beer Dinner usually sells out, so don’t wait to buy your tickets. “We still have tickets available. There is a limit of 160 guests so we’ll sell tickets until we’re full!” Eshbaugh said.

You must be 21 to purchase a ticket and also to attend the festival. “You are issued a 3 oz. beer tasting glass and you can fill it as many times as you want with beer and wine samples,” said Eshbaugh. “Your ticket also includes a $5 voucher that can be redeemed in the food court.” Designated drivers pay just $10, which includes the $5 food voucher. End the weekend with a Kegs and Eggs breakfast, held on Sunday at John Harvard’s Brew House at the Tamarack Club from 8 to 11 a.m. Cost is $12.95. The drink special, Ultimate Bloody Marys, are only $6. “Besides giving folks a chance to try so many varieties of craft beers, the Beer and Wine Festival is a great social scene and the perfect set up for a November weekend while we wait for the ski season to start.” Eshbaugh said.

create exceptional experiences for every student they teach.

Originally from Buffalo and Ellicottville, Doro graduated from Ellicottville Central School and Boston University.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) today announced that remaining Deer Management Permits (DMPs) in several Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) will be available to hunters beginning Nov. 1. Deer Management Permits allow hunters to harvest antlerless deer and are issued for specific WMUs to control deer populations. In some WMUs, all applicants received permits during the initial application process and the DMP target has not been reached. In these units, DEC will re-open the DMP application process on a first-come, first-served basis. Hunters may apply for up to two additional DMPs in these WMUs at any DEC license sales outlet beginning Nov. 1. Leftover DMPs are not available by phone, mail, or internet. Applications must be made at license issuing outlets.

Applicants who previously paid the $10 application fee during the initial application period, or are exempt from the application fee, will not be charged for this additional application. Hunters who did not previously apply for a deer management permit are required to pay the $10 application fee. Applications for leftover DMPs will be accepted for the following WMUs: 1C, 3M, 3R, 3S (bowhunting-only), 7F, 7H, 7J, 8A, 8C (bowhunting-only), 8F, 8G, 8H, 8J, 8N, 8R, 9A, 9F, and 9G. Additionally, Bonus DMPs are available for hunters who successfully take an antlerless deer in WMUs 1C, 3S, 4J, or 8C. For WMU locations, refer to the 2017-18 Hunting and Trapping Regulations Guide on DEC’s website. During this extended application period, DEC will

issue DMPs for an individual WMU until the target issuance quota is achieved. The status of permits will be reviewed daily, and as individual units are filled they will be removed from the list of those available the following day. A list of units with leftover DMPs will be routinely updated on DEC’s website or via the DMP Hotline at 1-866-472-4332. DEC encourages hunters to prioritize doe harvest and to share extra venison with friends, neighbors, and the Venison Donation Coalition (link leaves DEC website). Hunters can also continue to push the harvest ratio solidly toward older bucks simply by choosing to voluntarily pass on a young buck and “Let Young Bucks Go and Watch Them Grow” available on DEC’s website.

Interestingly, her husband A. W. Ferrin was the publisher of the Chronicle in Springville before becoming an editor for the Express in Buffalo. It is suspected that she came back to Springville after being widowed. The box contained photos of her painting, resting, sitting and knitting, and made a unique find. Not only were there pictures of the Weber Family, but of a variety of Baptist preachers in the region, like Deacon T. Pierce and The Rev. Smitzer. Oddly, there was picture of Thangkhan Sangma, who at the time was an internationally-known Baptist missionary from Bengali. It left me with the question did he visit Springville or was he part of a collection sent from abroad? I still have to look for those clues. And then there were pictures of more recognizable names like Perriguine Eaton and his wife. (Remember the article on the oldest house in Springville? He was the one that built the house on Buffalo Street.) After several months and going blind trying to read the faded pencil marks on the tattered envelopes of these slides, the last two were hard to decipher. You can usually tell if the slide was of people, flowers or buildings. It looked like something broken, and was hard to make out; when I scanned the slides, guess what I saw? Kittens! Even back in the 1880s, people were taking photos of kittens. It just goes to show you what stories and oddities can be connected to a box of old glass negatives.
