Eppolito Gives Final Farewell at Concord Town Board Meeting

PAGES 4-5 Sports schedule Coaches Corner Emerling Holiday Tournament By Rich Place

The recent meeting of the Concord Town Board was a bittersweet one for outgoing Town Supervisor Gary

Eppolito, who served in the position since 2005 and concludes a local political career that spans nearly 40 years.

During a relatively light meeting in terms of business, Eppolito took time to reflect on his political career. He did not seek reelection and will be succeeded in January by current board member Clyde Drake. “I must admit my retirement is bittersweet, as I know I’ll miss all of you,” Eppolito said, often fighting back tears. “I know in my heart it is the right thing for my health, for my family (and) for the town.” He added that “new blood” in town government “often brings new ideas and new enthusiasm.”

Eppolito thanked, by name, a handful of town employees, including members of the town board and spanning a range of departments including the clerk, librarians, dog control officer, assessor, attorneys and plenty of others. But when he got to his secretary, Denise Ciszak, Eppolito became choked up and had to pause as he read from his prepared remarks. “I don’t know how this lady does it,” he said, noting the plethora of responsibilities Ciszak oversees. “God bless you. You are our heart and soul. “I don’t recall Denise

duty whenever and wherever that care may be needed; second, to shorten the war by strengthening the morale of the allied peoples and their amines and alleviating their sufferings; and third,

to lay the foundations for the enduring peace by extending practical relief and sympathy. A box of magazines and books were gathered together and sent to Camp

A Look Back: Christmas 1917 By Jolene Hawkins

As Christmas is upon us, I wonder what Christmases of the past looked forward to getting. Two hundred years ago, in 1817, books were a great gift to give to young people, for amusement and entertainment. Among some of the titles were Barton’s lectures on Female Education and Manners, Foster’s Essays on various subjects, Rassclas Chatechism of Nature, said to be an excellent little book. And Mrs. Chapane’s Letters on the Improvement of the Mind. Prints, medallions, fine letter paper, visiting cards, ladies and gentlemen’s pocketbooks, wallets, penknives, cases of silvereyed needles and we can not forget the opera glasses

Emerling

and snuff boxes were other popular gifts. Of course, the familiar fruit cake, I am sure, was around then, as well as other food items. In 1917, H D Smith Store in Springville still offered Crane Linen Lawn paper, saying it was the writing paper of the correct size, shape and shade. So letter writing was still a popular thing to do then. The Red Cross was selling Christmas Seals with the money going toward tuberculosis and its effect during the World War 1 (going on at that time). The Red Cross did a lot during 1917; one such thing was knitting for the soldiers. 1,128 articles were sent from Springville to the Buffalo Chapter of the Red Cross, and the Springville

Branch outfitted 50 soldiers. The outfits were valued at $10 a man of $500 in all. In case you forgot the aims of the Red Cross, they were: first, to be ready to care for our soldiers and sailors on

Dix. We had a large number of people in Springville that helped support and knit for the Red Cross. In Erie County, there were over 10,000, and it is interesting to see that the values and guidelines and still similar. There were over 78 branches of the Red Cross in Erie County in 1917, and in that year, 5,139 sweaters , 1,584 mufflers, 2,063 pairs of wristlets and 2,331 pairs of woolen socks were created and sent to the men and women in the service. What were the gifts that were purchased during 1917 Christmas time? Why, Victrola records, 75 cents to $2. Of course, you needed a Victrola to play them on, and they had one for every pocketbook, from $15 to $400. A useful gift was a pair of spectacles or eyeglasses, furniture for the house, tables, chair and couches. And we cannot forget Simon Brothers and the coats, sweaters and clothes that could be purchased at their store on Main Street. Furs could be purchased at H D Smith Store, as could the newest Kodak camera, to help you remember the good moments at Christmas, Bement and Brooks had the newest model of vacuum cleaners, as well as the Socony kerosene oil heaters to heat your rooms to a pleasant temperature and would run eight hours and burn clean. There are the mufflers and mittens and hats that could be purchased at several of the local stores, and of course, food, cakes, cookies fruits, books and games for the kids, wallets and shoes for dads and moms, as well as kitchen, pots, pans, new dishes, hairbrushes, and jeweler. As we head into Christmas morning, I hope you will receive what you truly wanted, have more than enough food to eat, and are surrounded by family and friends. Here is hoping that you make your Christmas a memorable one, and maybe if family is around, take out the old photo album and tell stories of past Christmases and family. Merry Christmas!

Letter from the Editor

It’s hard to believe Christmas is here! I hope the holidays have found you well and you’ve been able to enjoy the sights and sounds of the season. Every year, my family and I spend Christmas Eve with my in-laws, aunts and uncles, numerous first cousins and their kids. There is beef on weck, macaroni salad and Aunt Marilynn’s raspberry Jello salad, followed by a piñata, an hour of family photos in front of the tree and if we’re lucky, some caroling that no one takes all that seriously. Even with two almost-teenage girls in the house, (the older of whom really enjoys sleeping in until all hours!), I anticipate an early morning on Dec. 25, when months of shopping and wrapping seems to be undone in mere minutes. From there, we get to work putting the finishing touches on our contributions for dinner, pack up about a million things and head to my parents’ house just down the road in Holland, where the holiday cheer continues until well into the night. Whatever your holiday traditions are, I hope they find you spending time with family and friends, enjoying the little things that go along with the season and making wonderful memories! Merry Christmas! - Alicia Dziak, Editor, Springville Times

15 New Cottages Being Built at Allegany State Park

Fifteen one-bedroom, full service cottages are being built by ASP Partners, LLC in the Cain Hollow area of Allegany State Park, with a target completion date of May 1, 2018. By Alicia Dziak

If you’re one of the thousands of people who make Allegany State Park part of your annual vacation plans, your options for staying in the park are about to get even better. Tucked up in the hill behind Quaker Lake, 15 new cottages are under construction in Cain Hollow. “Ten of the 15 foundations have been completed to date, so those units will be built this winter,” explained Jay Bailey, Regional Director, OPRHP -Allegany Region. “The remaining five cottage foundations will likely be poured in the spring.” The target completion date of all 15 cottages is May 1. The cottages are being constructed by ASP Partners, LLC under a 20year license. “The funds to construct the cottages are derived privately by ASP Partners, LLC, and through a grant awarded to them through the Regional Economic Development Council,” noted Bailey. The new builds will have a familiar feel to them. “The cottages will be similar in structure to the Bova and Parallel cottages, but they will have a different appearance due to changes in the siding used. They will also be slightly smaller, and intended only for threeseason use,” Bailey said. “These units will be fullservice lodging facilities

just like Bova and Parallel in that they will have a kitchen with all the necessary appliances with utensils, full bathroom with towel service. The two twin beds will include linens.” Overall size of the cottages is 24’ X 24’ with an 8’ porch. According to Bailey, once opened, “State Park staff will be operating and maintaining these cottages on a daily basis once they open; however, ASP Partners, LLC will be responsible for capital repairs throughout the term of the license.” Come spring, the cottages will be reservable through www.reservamerica.com. On the other side of the park, patrons will find a popular cabin trail has had a makeover. The Ryan Trail, located on the Red House side along ASP 2, consists of 10 cabins, which were all renovated this past summer and fall. “All 10 of the Ryan Trail cabins (originally built by the Civilian Conservation Corps) received renovations of the main ‘building envelope’. Work included new roofs, copper chimney flashing, painting of the exteriors, repointing of stone masonry, siding repair as needed, along with other structural repairs, as required, to get the cabins all back into good condition and ready for many more years of service,” explained

park manager Tom Livak. Livak said that even Cabin No. 9, which had been previously been closed for many years, was renovated, along with the emergency hold cabin No. 8. Those familiar with the park are sure to understand the popularity of this cabin trail, as it features spacious cabins and a private setting overlooking Red House Brook. “Ryan cabins are a bit unique from other cabin trails in that they each have a fireplace,” added Livak. “These particular cabins date back to the 1930s and do have a unique look compared to some of our other typical cabin designs at Allegany. While all the Ryan cabins are similar to each other in design, they are not exactly the same. They are also larger with multiple rooms—two bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen area. Many Ryan

cabins also have screened porches.” These three-season cabins are closed in the winter, but will reopen to visitors in May; reservations can be made now on www. reserveamerica.com. (A total of nine cabins will appear for rent on Ryan Trail, and Cabin No. 8, the one with only one bedroom, will likely remain as the emergency hold cabin.) Livak noted that other cabins within the park are slated to be renovated as well. “We are working on developing a rehabilitation project for Reed, Indian, and Circle Trails for completion in 2018,” he said. “This project will also focus on similar aspects of the “building envelope” – piers, siding, porch, structural and floor repairs, painting, new roofs along with new porches and steps where needed.”

Looking for a guaranteed fun outdoor experience this winter? Check out Holiday Valley Tubing Company! Located just four miles from the resort on Route 242 in Ellicottville, the tubing park offers hours of downhill thrills. All the fun of tubing without any of the work, Holiday Valley Tubing Company (which, according to Snow Tubing Source, is the fifth largest of its kind in the country!) has up to 22 lanes, each 900 feet long with a drop of 100 feet. Some lanes are single width, while others are wider group lanes to allow for linking up with friends. Head out of the ticket center, grab a tube and line up. When you get to the front of the line, just sit down in your tube and catch a ride up on one of two

handle tows (the dismount from the tow is also pretty cool!) Choose your lane, wait for the attendant to give you the go-ahead, then ready, set, go! Race your friends and other tubers to the bottom and see who gets the farthest on the track. Screaming optional, but highly recommended. Once you stop, get out, drag your tube to the tow and do it all over again! A special Little Tubers area is also available, weather permitting, for younger children. A cozy warming hut is at the base of the hill with a snack bar, fireplace and restrooms. Or you can warm up and rest outside at the giant bonfire pit. The tubing park is scheduled to open (weather permitting) on Thursday,

Dec. 21. Regular hours are as follows: Thursdays and Fridays, 4:30 to 9 p.m.; Saturdays, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Sundays, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. In addition, the tubing park is open daily during the Christmas break and the February President’s week break and on Monday, Jan. 15 for Martin Luther King Day. The Holiday Valley Tubing Company is located on the corner of Route 242 and Bryant Hill Road on the north side of Ellicottville. A free shuttle service to and from Holiday Valley is available every two hours during operating hours, with pickup at the Resort Services Center.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT Wintertime Fun with Glenwood Depot By Carlee Frank

There may be nothing more daunting than trying to figure out ski and snowboarding gear for the first time. If we were left to our own devices, many people would be flying –or falling –down the slopes with skis too big and boots too small. However, there are many professionals more than willing to help snow enthusiasts navigate the world of winter sport equipment. Bruce and Kim Zehnder opened Glenwood Depot in 1999 at 9452 State Road in Glenwood. They work by appointment to fit customers with

seasonal rentals of skis and snowboards. While the business has certainly grown over the years, it started out with one small building. “We saw that the building was for sale, and then when we came and checked it out there were some skis and snowboards inside; so from there, we went into the skiing business,” Kim said. They have enjoyed the store from the start because they make their customers the top priority. Every skier and snowboarder leaves with the perfect fit and style, and, they hope, a great experience. “The people who come

Owners Bruce and Kim Zehnder opened the Glenwood Depot in 1999.

back every year, and the new people, just seeing them smile as they walk out the door is really important,” Bruce said. While they don’t sell equipment, they rent from multiple brands such as Nordica, Salomon, Atomic and Rossignol. Based on each skier’s needs, Bruce and Kim said they know exactly which skis to provide –heavy or light, long or short, carvers or all terrain, etc. They also offer tune ups, waxing and repairs, and sell goggles, hats and helmets. Although, Kim said hats are becoming a thing of the past, and noted that most people opt for helmets. Not many ski shops offer fittings by appointment, and this unique business plan is catered around the needs of their customers. Upon opening, they found that daily rentals cause a mad rush all season long, and distracted from their seasonal renters. She remembered a busy day years before the additional building was constructed when she lost a family of four in the tiny store. She had been fitting people, filling out paper work and getting everyone their skis and boots, so when the crowd finally began to dissipate, she saw the family sitting in the lobby. “I said, ‘Oh my goodness, why didn’t you whistle?’ and they said, ‘Well, we’ve been enjoying watching

you work with all of these people instead,’” Kim said, laughing. So they chose to work by appointment so that they can devote all of their attention to each customer. However, they do offer daily rentals of snowshoes and cross country skis. Glenwood Depot started with the slogan, “We rent winter fun!” but Kim said they like to think it’s, “The fun starts here.” Every child that visits the store goes home with a fruit scented mini lip balm because, they said, even little gestures matter. They give out over 600 lip balms annually and plan to carry on the tradition. “I get super excited with the kids,” Kim said. “I tell silly jokes, and it’s always really fun!” They said a large number of their customers have become like family, and that is what makes the long seasons worth it. While they said they can’t keep working at the shop forever, they certainly aren’t ready to leave yet. “It’s nothing we ever planned, but I think it’s turned into a nice business. We’ve made a lot of people happy, and it makes us feel good to do that,” Bruce said. Glenwood Depot is focused on switching all communication with customers to text, so for more information, text Kim at (716)860-3804 and she will respond ASAP.

SGI Coaches Corner Girls’ Varsity Basketball, Coach Bob Gainey

The Varsity Girls Basketball team pulled off a big upset Monday night by defeating City Honors 34-27. The girls’ defense was incredible throughout the game, holding the opposition to only seven points at halftime. Despite leading by six, the girls found themselves down by four points going into the 4th quarter. That’s when Ivette Lewandowski decided to take the game over by scoring none of her game-high 19 points in the final eight minutes. Besides Ivette’s scoring, there’s no way the team would have been able to come back without the toughness of Ryan Stedman, Bella Oakley, Kelsey Zabawa and Mackenzie Engel. Those girls did a great job holding their top scorer (27 points per game) to 17 points. Nyah Solly gave her team a big boost with her hustle on defense, as did Sydney Rosati. The game was competitive throughout and the Griffs finally got a little separation after a Grace Zabawa layup in transition. Other scorers on the night included: Sydney Rosati (4 points), Grace Zabawa (4 points), Bella Oakley (3 points) and Leah Frank (2 points). The girls are now 2-1 and return to action when they host MEC in the Emerling Tourney. Great job girls!

While the holidays are perfect for family, friends and copious amounts of food, they’re also perfect for healthy competition and school rivalries. This year, the annual Emerling Holiday

Basketball Tournament will be hosted in the Springville High School gymnasium Dec. 27-Dec. 29. Springville boys and girls junior varsity and varsity teams, as well as teams from surrounding school districts, will vie for championship trophies.

Emerling Ford and Emerling Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM have been providing the trophies and sponsoring the event since 2005. Carl Emerling, president of Emerling Ford and V.P. of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM, said

McDonald’s sponsored the tournament in the 1960s and 70s, but the games laid dormant for decades until he and a few coaches decided to revive the tradition. “We thought that it gives the students and the parents something to do over the Christmas break, and also brings people into town to help support our restaurants and local businesses,” Emerling said. SGI Athletic Director Joe Demartino is in his 8th year with the district and is supervising the 2017 games. He noted that 16 teams will compete this year, totaling nearly 200 participants, and said the tournament gives the athletes extra play time while school is not in session. “It is three days of a lot of fun- and typically, the kids, parents and coaches truly enjoy this time together during the holiday season,” Demartino said. The tournament is supported by many SGI teachers, such as SES P.E. teacher Robert Gainey, who coaches the girls Varsity team. He mentioned that his favorite part of the tournament is getting to watch all of the different teams and the unique playing styles they bring to the games. So, if you need a break from the holiday madness and want to watch an exciting competition between local basketball teams, stop by the Springville High School Gym at 10:30 a.m. on Dec. 27.

Girls’ JV Baksetball, Coach Chris Mathewson

Monday night, the girls’ JV basketball team improved their record to 2-1 with their second straight win, defeating host City Honors 42-20. Meg Rehrauer led the Griffs with 12 points, followed by Gracie Attebery with seven points, and Rachel O’Neal and Marie Emerling with six points each. Wrestling, Coach Mark Vogel

The Griffin wrestlers lost a tough battle to Eden last Wednesday, 37-30. Leading the way with pins for the Griffs were Mikey Evans, Nick Brown and Hayden Taylor. Jared Hecht wrestled his best match of the year in a close loss and Jake Bystryk fought until the end in a tough loss to a familiar opponent. Over the weekend, Mikey Evans took third place at ECIC’s, held at Starpoint HS. Weather turned the contest into a one day tournament rather than a Friday-Saturday tournament. Because of this, the tournament dropped the first two rounds to single elimination, making it difficult for any unseeded wrestlers. Mikey Evans lost an exciting semifinals match 8-6 to last year’s Section VI Champion for Division I from Lancaster. Mikey battled back strong and won the consolation finals 10-0 to finish the tournament with a record of 3-1. Nate Cottom and Jake Bystryk wrestled hard against seeded wrestlers but came up short in the end. Several wrestlers participated in the North Tonawanda JV tournament. Sam Weber placed 4th at 106 pounds and younger brother Nate Weber earned his first pin at 99 lbs. Other wrestlers earning victories throughout the day were Shilo Rogers, Nick Brown and John Andreef.

Holiday Valley is open and in full swing. Choose from numerous lifts and slopes, warm up in the lodge, then head back out and do it all over again. Guests can enjoy endless winter fun and over $3 million in improvements, including an automated snowmaking system, a Magic Carpet lift in the beginner’s area, new trails, and an all-new Cindy’s Warming Hut and Mistletoe Lean To. Check out www. holidayvalley.com for the latest updates and snow reports. HV offers other ways to enjoy downhill if you want a break from the skis or snowboard. Both the Sky Flyer Mountain Coaster and the tubing park just opened for the winter season. Visit the Sky Flyer Mountain Coaster near the Tannenbaum Lodge and get ready for a thrilling ride down through the snowy woods! The Mountain Coaster is similar to a roller coaster but it is low to the ground and follows the contours of the terrain. You ride alone or with a friend in a “car” attached to rails that pulls you up the hill, then it follows a zig zagging

spiraling path down the mountain. You can control the speed of your car with levers on the sides of the car. For more info, visit www.holidayvalley.com/ winter/sky-flyer-mountaincoaster. Check out the article on page 2 to find out more about the tubing park. The cross country trails along the top ridgeline of Holiday Valley and around the golf course at the bottom of the mountain are generally packed by snowmobile and if weather permits, the lower trails are trackset. The trails on top are open until 3 p.m. and are recommended for those with intermediate skills. For $15, you can purchase a 2-ride cross country ticket for the Mardi Gras, Cindy’s or Tannenbaum lift. Ride up, and you can either ride the Mardi Gras or Tannenbaum chair back down, or ski down one of the easier trails (Tannenbaum or Explorer/Day’s End are recommended). The easier trails along the golf course at the base of the mountain are open during daylight hours and feature solar lights for a nighttime ski on the golf course, just

ever having a bad day,” he continued. “It’s truly a blessing to work with her — with someone who truly loves her job. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Denise the past two years and I will miss her.” Eppolito remarked he was caught off guard when asked recently about his accomplishments, but said “the ones that came quickest to mind” were the completion of the senior center, the arrival of Mercy EMS to the community, working on the town’s master plan, remodeling of the Lucy Bensley Center and upgrading the town’s highway equipment. “But the thing that came to mind was (that) not one of those things could not have been accomplished without you guys,” he said, motioning to the town board. “Every one was accomplished by a board that worked together. God bless you and I thank you for all your help because none of that could be accomplished without you.” Eppolito said he and his wife plan to see more of their children and grandchildren, but will remain in the Springville community. Originally from the Brant/North Collins area, Eppolito said, “The village of Springville and town of Concord have always been and will always be our home, just like it has been for almost 50 years.” Several guests in attendance at the town board meeting took time during

the public comment period to thank Eppolito for his service and congratulate him on his retirement. “I have known Gary for many, many years now and I just wanted to come tonight — I know it’s your last board meeting — and say thank you,” said Brenda O’Neil of Rural Transit Service. She presented him with a certificate on behalf of the group’s board to show appreciation. Among business at the meeting, which is the final one of the year for the Concord Town Board, board members heard from Eleanor Eschborn, director of Senior Services, about the past year at the senior center. She said the senior services combined saw 3,795 people throughout its various programs in 2016, a number that jumped to 10,420 so far in 2017. “I’m very proud of that number and we could not do it without all the volunteers and the people that come in,” she said. She said there “are lots of new things” anticipated for the coming year, mostly beginning in the spring. The Concord Town Board will hold its organizational meeting at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 4, 2018 at the Town Hall following by a board meeting at 7 p.m. The meeting will replace the board’s regularly scheduled meeting Jan. 11, although board members did note a second meeting January is likely.

Mills Announces Funding for Scenic Byway, WNY Railway Hist. Society

Erie County Legislator John Mills recently announced the Legislature has approved his requests to allocate funding for the WNY Southtowns Scenic Byway (WNYSSB) and the WNY Railway Historical Society in the 2018 budget. “The WNY Southtowns Scenic Byway and the WNY Railway Historical Society have done so much to promote local tourism and truly care about preserving our history and celebrating our future. I am proud to partner with them to support their continued efforts to bring visitors to our region and educate everyone on our rich history,” said Mills. The WNYSSB will receive $3,000 next year. The organization received

funding in 2017 for a new informational sign in the Village of Springville and Mills is pleased to announce that the sign was recently installed and dedicated. It can be found at the Springville Rail Trail Head on West Main Street. “The WNY Southtowns Scenic Byway wishes to thank Erie County Legislature Chairman John Mills and Erie County for this latest show of financial support. John Mills and the county have supported the Byway since its inception. The funds will be used towards ongoing projects as we work to promote tourism in the southtowns,” said Bob Lennartz, president of the WNYSSB.

The WNY Railway Historical Society will receive $5,000 to support its efforts to preserve railway heritage. “The Orchard Park Depot Committee of the Western New York Railway Historical Society wishes to thank Erie County Legislature Chairman John ‘Jack’ Mills for his assistance in obtaining funding for the ongoing restoration of the Orchard Park Train Depot. The funding will be used in the society’s planned reconstruction of the depot’s trackside platform, particularly its structurally compromised support columns. The society has been working on the depot for almost 35 years and

has put both thousands of dollars, and thousands of volunteer labor hours, in its efforts to save and restore the depot,” said Robert Snyder, OP Depot chairman, WNYRHS. “In 2007, the Depot and its surrounding grounds were placed on both the State and National Registers of Historic Places. Later, it became a stop on the Southtowns Scenic Byway, and soon, will serve as a trailhead for the Erie Cattaraugus Rail Trail. With all of this activity, the society very much wants to make the depot site a safe and beautiful destination. Chairman Mills’ help in obtaining the county funding will assist the society in its efforts to do so.”

Soricelli Retires from Jennie B. Richmond Nursing Home

YOU KNOW ITS COMING! YOU KNOW ITS COMING!

YOU KNOW ITS COMING!

From left: Tracy Rolfe, Activities, Kathy Paszkiewicz, Admissions, Roger Soricelli, Roberta Murray, RN, Director of Nursing, and Patricia Loveless, Administrative Assistant.

The Jennie B. Richmond Nursing Home marked the end of an era on Friday, Dec. 15 with the retirement of long-time administrator Roger Soricelli after 15 years. Soricelli, a Java Center resident, has more than three decades’ experience in healthcare administration. He began his time at the Jennie B. Richmond Nursing Home in 2002 following roles in Batavia, Malone, Olean and Florida. He earned a bachelor of arts in economics at SUNY Fredonia, and a master of arts in administration and leadership at SUNY Plattsburgh. As the landscape for skilled nursing and long-term care has evolved, Soricelli helped the Jennie B. move with it. An example of this was the development of a short-term rehabilitation program. “My wife Margo and I have both had very satisfying careers,” Soricelli shared. “Now we are looking forward to spend a lot of time spoiling our grandchildren.” An announcement regarding the new administrator for the Jennie B. will be made in early 2018.
