Come the beginning of the new year, Gary Eppolito is going to have a very different routine to his day.

The outgoing Concord town supervisor this week is officially concluding a political career that includes a dozen years in his current position and, previous to that, another decade on the Springville Village Board and as mayor.

“As elected officials, we all have a shelf life,” Eppolito said during a recent interview at the town offices inside Goddard Memorial Hall. “I don’t care who you are — you reach a point you See Eppolito page 6

A Look Back:

The Elm Tree with the Bank Account

By Jolene Hawkins

What is an elm tree? Well around here, we had a lot of elm trees. They are known for being large, some 24 to 27 feet in circumference, and then the Dutch Elm disease came around in the late 1970s and we lost a bunch of trees.

But did you know that we had a famous elm tree?

It was in Collins Center, and the Bank of Springville set up an account for it.

Of course, there is a story behind that. Before 1925, there was a mighty and strong elm tree that stood near the road along Route 39. When the road was scheduled to be paved by the Highway Department, they were going to uproot the tree, but folks around Collins Center and in Springville got upset. They went clear up to Albany to

Emerling

talk to the State Highway Department and pleaded with them to spare the tree.

After discussions by both sides, the Highway Department spared the tree.

Whew! That was a relief.

In 1925, there was a strong wind and the wind blew off one of the tree’s large limbs. That was then the bank account at the Bank of Springville was started for the tree. Two of the town officials took up a collection to hire a tree surgeon. In fact, more than $125 was raised and deposited into the account set up for the tree in the Bank of Springville. The tree and the account even made it into the Ripley Believe it or Not Fame! The money was used for repairs and maintenance for the tree.

In 1952, according to news articles, the last expenditure was just before Pearl Harbor when $ 2.65 was withdrawn for minor repairs. In 1961, a car hit it head on and sadly the two

men in the car were killed.

At that time, it was reported that there was still $56 in the tree’s account.

In July of 1964, the Grange of Collins Center was raising money to erect

a marker near the site where the famous tree with a bank account had stood. To help defray the cost of the monument they wanted to erect, they sold key rings made from the wood of the

A HEALTHIER 2018 YOU

Holiday Food forConcerts Thought

By Carlee Frank

The New Year is just around the corner, and I can practically hear the confetti cannons and Ole Langsyne; but do you know what else I can hear? Millions of New Year’s resolutions uttered globally.

If you’re one of the many looking to improve your health through diet and fitness in the new year, this series is here to help. Every week, we will explore a different aspect of health –diet, exercise, body care and much more. This week we’re starting at the beginning. It’s not a miracle diet; it’s simply a change in mindset.

First, a little about me…

I have been gluten intolerant for four and a half years, and while I suspect Celiac, I have not been medically tested, so I retain the title non-celiac gluten sensitive (NCGS). In order to determine my NCGS status, I cut gluten out of my diet completely. Gluten is the complex protein found in wheat, barley and rye. This meant no pasta, cereal, bread and, oh yes, cookies. After a significant drop in symptoms—such as stomach pain, indigestion and nausea—I cut gluten out of my life entirely.

I am also lactose intolerant –meaning I cannot eat or drink dairy products –and a vegetarian, so my diet, which has most people questioning how I eat at all, has taken me down a very healthy path. Which brings the title of the article into focus. You want to be healthier, right? Well, I have many tips to help.

My No. 1 tip is a change in your thought process surrounding food. Each time you eat, think to yourself, “how can this be healthier?” It’s that simple.

If you’re about to eat five cookies, that might mean eating just one instead. If you’re staring at a gooey cheese pizza for two –but it’s all yours –you might want to limit that kind of treat to once a week, or even twice a month. However, the question, “How can this be healthier?” can be even easier.

Tip No. 2 is to think gluten free. While I wouldn’t tell your server you are NCGS, you can still order like you have an aversion to gluten. Meaning, order a lettuce wrap instead of a bun, wheat wrap, or ciabatta roll, or simply go bun-less. Instead of pasta, order fish or a chicken salad –both of which have greater protein and nutrients. Finally, when your waiter asks if you’d like dessert, order tea or fruit instead.

Tip No 3. is to still think gluten free, but this time at the grocery store. Cooking at home can make eating healthy much easier, but first you need ammo. So, still in the gluten free mindset, pick up a couple of zucchinis instead of a box of rotini. You can buy a simple spiralizer and have zucchini noodles in minutes. Then sauté the “zoodles” in a pan, add your favorite sauce, spices, protein and voila, you have a healthy pasta alternative. Another grocery store tip is to, again, ask yourself how your purchase can be healthier. Before you begin scoping out the aisle with the smallest line, take a look at your cart. Sub out those Little Debbie cakes for apples or the chips for almonds.

While asking yourself how your food can be healthier or channeling the diet of an NCGS person may seem too simple, it can make a big difference in your health.

According to the National Sleep Foundation, complex carbohydrates found in refined and processed foods, “make tryptophan [an amino acid that causes sleepiness] more available to the brain, which is why carbohydrateheavy meals can make you drowsy.” This is not to say all carbs are bad, certainly not, but I think we can all agree that a big bag of chips or pack of cookies should be avoided.

If you want to eat healthier, really stick to this change of mind. Often times it is us who get in our own way, so this week I challenge you to become more mindful about what you eat. Next week, we’ll figure out the best motivation for wintertime exercise.

As we head into 2018, and I turn yet another year older today, it’s a good time to reflect on the past year. For me, 2017 was a reality check of time flying as I continue to watch my daughters grow (the younger of whom is now taller than me!). The little girls that once occupied my house and time have turned into busy young ladies with their own lives and interests, but I’m fortunate we still get to spend a lot of time together, whether it’s soccer or camping or binge watching our favorite shows.

I’ve enjoyed spending time with my soccer family—I was able to coach four different teams throughout the year and look forward to the debut of the Springville Soccer Club in 2018.

I’ve enjoyed spending time with family and friends, many of whom are from Springville. There’s a lot to be said about having your support system just a short drive away.

I’ve loved the challenges and rewards of being the editor of this paper. It’s given me the opportunity to meet so many amazing people and cemented what I already knew—that Springville is a wonderful community that I’m proud to be a part of! Thank you for all being a part of it too, and for everything you do to make it that way.

As 2017 comes to a close, I want to wish you a very Happy New Year! Wherever the roads may take you this year, may they always lead you home to Springville, where your friends and family will be waiting with open arms!

Springville West End District Recommended to State and National Registers of Historic Places assist property owners in revitalizing buildings, making them eligible for various public preservation programs and services, such as matching state grants and state and federal historic rehabilitation tax credits.

Since the Governor signed legislation to bolster the state’s use of rehabilitation tax credits in 2013, the state and federal program has spurred $3 billion of investment in historic commercial properties.

LOCAL Business New Coffee Shop Expected to Open this Winter

(From left) Kevin and Lindsay Buncy and Greg Beatty are the operators of 49 Coffee House and Eatery, which is expected to open this winter at 49 East Main St. in Springville next door to Molly’s Creative Cuts Salon.

By Rich Place

Coffee lovers, rejoice: the village is about to get a new place on Main Street to enjoy not only enjoy a cup of coffee, but also to grab a bite to eat while socializing with neighbors.

Located at 49 East Main St. next to Molly’s Creative Cuts Salon, 49 Coffee House & Eatery is expected to open some time this winter with a fresh new take on the standard cup of joe.

Sure, the location will allow patrons to order a traditional cup of coffee, but it will also bring more upscale brewing methods like pour overs, siphon brewing, French press, cold brews and speciality iced coffees.

“The hard part is going to be us not drinking 30 cups of coffee per day,” joked Kevin Buncy, who operates the business with his wife, Lindsay, and cousin, Greg Beatty.

Kevin and Beatty purchased the building last December and have since worked to renovate the location. The space occupied now by 49 Coffee House & Eatery was once

home to the Pennysaver and, most recently, an art gallery.

The coffee shop features a very modern atmosphere, with seating that includes both standard tables as well as oversized chairs nestled by a fireplace. The exposed ceiling and woodwork give it that traditional coffee shop look and feel.

“With the environment we are creating here, it’s not like your small, ‘mom and pop’ place,” Kevin said.

“It kind or reminds you of Buffalo or Ellicottville or something a little more modern. I’m hoping people appreciate that.”

Kevin said the idea to open the shop has been an idea years in the making.

Once he and Beatty purchased the building and had the space to do it, that idea became a reality.

“We just want to fill spaces downtown and kind of saw a demand for it,” Kevin said. “We love coffee.

That’s how we get by.”

The trio are now playing a bit of a waiting game, hoping to open no later than early March, but are reliant completely on approval from the health

department. Once that process is complete, kitchen equipment will need to be ordered and set up and the coffee shop will begin accepting customers.

In the meantime, the business is looking to hire part-time staff. It recently advertised for open positions via its Facebook page, which will likely continue to be a primary means of communicating updates with the general public, Kevin said.

And as time continues to tick until their opening, the trio have been busy perfecting their coffee making skills and the coffee house’s menu.

“We are trying to do a kind of mixture of comfort food and healthy eating,” said Lindsay. The menu is expected to include speciality sandwiches, homemade soups and salads and local baked goods from a variety of local bakers.

They’ll also have glutenfree options.

Offering a bit of a peek behind the curtain, Lindsay said they’ll be using waffles as one of the breads for paninis.

“Our favorite sandwich so far is a Buffalo chicken waffle panini,” Kevin added.

“I really think that’s going to be one of the go-tos here; it’s just really unique. When you taste it, the sweetness and the spiciness…”

“It’s amazing,” Beatty interrupted.

“It is ridiculous,” Kevin added.

The trio said they are hoping their clientele at the coffee house will include anyone from stay-at-home mothers looking for a place to socialize, to high school students who want a unique atmosphere to do homework. After all, the location will feature free WiFi and plenty of USB plugs. There’s also a plan to work with Molly’s next door to offer exclusive deals for shared customers, Kevin said.

With the storefronts now occupied, work on the building continues with the renovation of upstairs apartments. Kevin said owning the building is an advantage compared to others who have attempted to open coffee shops in the area.

“I think us owning the building kind of puts us in a better position because we don’t have to come up with that rent check,” Kevin said. “We are building three upscale apartments on top of this as well. That’s going to help us out a lot. We’re thinking big picture.”

49 Coffee House & Eatery, named after its street address, is expected to be open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. except Mondays, when it will be closed. (Those hours will be subject to change.)

Customer Commitment at Carpet World

There is one thing that playing in a living room, walking through an office building and dancing around the kitchen have in common –flooring.

You may forget about flooring throughout the day, but it is one of the basic structures in every room, and it follows the trends of society. Not many can forget shag carpeting, carpeted bathrooms or vinyl— lots and lots of vinyl. Carpet World, located at 67 East Main Street in Springville, has been flooring the homes of local residents for over 20 years.

Joe and Stacie Decker took over the business

from Witter Davis in 1993 and moved to Springville.

While Stacie is a Springville native, Joe is from New Jersey, where his father owned a flooring business.

“I’ve been doing this since I was 13 years old, it’s all I’ve ever done – flooring,” Joe said.

It is this heritage that makes Joe and Stacie so committed to their business.

From start to finish, they said every project and every customer is important. They offer a range of products, such as carpet, wood and ceramic, and services such as free estimates, cash and carry, or full-service installation.

If a customer has never floored a room, or simply

Owners Stacie and Joe Decker took over Carpet World in 1993.

has questions concerning size and material, Joe and Stacie said they are always willing to work through the process. For each project, the Deckers help patrons peruse the sample materials and choose their best fit.

Then, the area or room is inspected to make sure the chosen product will work, and if the customer wants to proceed, Carpet World will order and install the flooring.

“We want them to be happy when they’re done with their choice and with us, and I don’t think you can get that everywhere,” Stacie said.

As a small business, Carpet World has to compete with big box stores, which Joe and Stacie admit is difficult, but they believe their commitment to their customers and to the flooring business is more important. Even their website, which says “Where Service is Everything” reflects this attitude.

Carpet World is a member of the Springville Chamber of Commerce and uses their position as business owners to help many local charities and organizations such as the Boys and Girls Club, the Trading Post and Relay for Life.

Their long history in the flooring business has allowed the Deckers to meet many interesting

people. One woman, who was moving into an old farmhouse, came into the store with unique ideas for every room in the new house. They said the home she was leaving in Orchard Park looked like a castle and had even appeared in interior design magazines.

“She was fun to work with— she was a sweet woman, had a bunch of kids and it was just a lot of fun putting everything together for her,” Stacie said.

Working in a small town has allowed their biggest form of advertisement to be word-of-mouth. Stacie mentioned that customers will frequently say who they were referred by, or in who’s house they’d admired the flooring. The Deckers said this is one advantage of their service centered mission.

“When you are small town, you’ve got to really show them that they can trust you, and that you do what you say you’re going to do,” said Joe. If you need new tiles in the kitchen, carpet in the bedroom or have questions about flooring your home, stop by Carpet World Monday-Friday 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., or by appointment.

LOCAL SK I R ACING

Rauch Finishes 4th at Christmas Eve Opener

By Caitlin Croft

The junior alpine race season kicked off on Christmas Eve with the Ely Leene Christmas Slaloms.

This race has become tradition for many first year U16 athletes as it is their first chance to get points and they are challenged by having to compete against U19/U21 and Seniors. In ski, racing the lower your

points are the better of a skier you are. Think golf and handicaps— the lower your handicap, the better the golfer they are. This race, held at Brantling in Sodus, NY, consisted of two full races, four individual runs each with a different course set.

James Rauch of Buffalo Ski Club finished in 4th for U21/19 men. Brice Shively

of Kissing Bridge finished 8th, followed by Gordon Minier (KB) in 12th and Daniel Edick (KB) 13th, Jack Schleyer (KB) 20th and Cole Murray (KB) 23rd.

For the U16 men, from Buffalo Ski Club, Joshua Jusiak finished 17th with Aristotle Ninos (KB) 19th, Ethan Hallett (BSC) 24th, Parker Murray (KB) 26th, Montgomery Nicholl (BSC) 27th.

On the ladies’ side, U16 Madisyn Delozier of Buffalo Ski Club finished 6th with Abigail Fischer of Kissing Bridge taking 8th. Sydney Minier (KB) placed 11th, Grace Rauch (BSC) 14th, Olivia Shortt (KB) 21st and Piper Murray (KB) 26th.

The second race U16 Madisyn Delozier (BSC) finished 7th, Abigail Fischer (KB) 10th and Sydney

Minier (KB) 11th. Olivia Shortt (KB) took 16th and Piper Murray (KB) 23rd.

For the U21/19 women, Katie Schlemmer (KB) finished 4th, with teammate Page Hazen in 6th.

For the men, Brice Shively (KB) placed 8th, Gordon Minier (KB) 10th, Daniel Edick (BSC) 13th, Jack Schleyer (KB) 14th and Cole Murray (KB) 20th.

U16 Alex Aubrecht (BSC) finished 11th, Joshua Jusiak (BSC) 15th, Aristotle Ninos (KB) 21st, Ethan Hallet (BSC) 22nd, Montgomery Nicholl (BSC) 24th and Parker Murray (KB) 34th.

The next race for the U16/21/19 athletes will be held at HoliMont on New Year’s Eve.

LOCAL Happenings Eppolito

OBITUARIES

Continued from front page

need to give someone else a chance. With that in mind, new blood brings new ideas and new enthusiasm.”

The desire to see “new blood” in the town supervisor seat, coupled with wanting to spend more time with family while in good health, were reasons Eppolito did not see reelection this year. It’s not a surprise — he mentioned his decision a year ago to help the town transition, he said — but that doesn’t mean he won’t feel the difference in his routine.

“It’s going to be difficult for me because I’ve never not had to get up in the morning and have a job to go to,” Eppolito said, noting he started working as a kid on his family farm. “But I’m excited about it.”

For 33 years, getting up and going to work in the morning included serving as an English teacher at West Valley Central School.

“I really do miss the classroom,” he admitted. “I missed the kids I worked with. I was fortunate in that I worked 33 years in a school district I loved.

I worked with great kids there. I’m fortunate I left one job I loved and got into another job I loved.”

Eppolito’s career in public service dates back to 1979 as a member of the Springville Zoning Board of Appeals. Then, in 1994,

while serving as recreation director of Springville Youth Incorporated, he successfully ran for village trustee. A few years later, he became village mayor and served in that position until he became Concord town supervisor in 2005.

Eppolito said his motive for running for town supervisor stemmed from his desire to see the town and village governments be more cooperative.

“I was a little frustrated we weren’t getting along,” he admitted. “I thought the town could do a little better.

That was the main reason.”

And a dozen years later, Eppolito said his proudest accomplishments include the new senior center, the relationship with Mercy EMS, improvements to the Lucy Bensley Center, the relatively flat line on taxes and the upgrading of highway equipment.

“I could not have accomplished anything I did here in my 12 years without the board that worked with me,” he said. “My goal when I came here 12 years ago was just to leave the place a little better than I found it. I think we’ve done that.”

Among the accomplishments, though, it seems in speaking with Eppolito that the senior center, along with improvements to senior

transportation, topped the list.

“The town had been talking about (a senior center) for years,” Eppolito said. “But several administrators just couldn’t gain any traction. We began early in my tenure as a supervisor here saying we should do something.”

As it happened, the bonds for the Hulbert Library were expiring and that paved the way, with the town board’s support, to proceed with the senior center’s construction.

“We talked it over and said why don’t we … allocate resources in a different way,” he explained.

“Take what we are paying on the library, keeping making those payments and transport that into a senior center. We could do that without raising taxes and that’s essentially what the board did.”

And then there’s holding the line on taxes.

“The fact we’ve held the tax rate and stayed under the tax cap every year, I’m pretty proud of that,” Eppolito said. “It was a struggle at times — at times we had to say no to things.”

As village mayor, Eppolito was involved in getting local police coverage there, making changes in government administration including the addition of a village administrator, and upgrading public utilities.

Now out of politics — Eppolito said he prefers the phrase “public service” — Eppolito will be able to spend more time with his family, including his children and grandchildren who live out of state.

But he’ll stay involved, including serving on the hospital board and the Concord Industrial Development Agency (IDA), and director of Rural Transit.

He’s also confident in his successor, Clyde Drake, who he has worked with on the town board in recent years.

“He’s had the advantage of being on the board for four years — I had a similar thing in the village when I went from trustee to mayor,” Eppolito said. “I feel very confident he’ll do a great job here.”

Through all the years of service, Eppolito said he served in the positions he did because he enjoyed them and was quick to repeatedly thank the boards he worked with for their cooperation.

But his gratitude didn’t end at the government level.

“I’m very appreciative of the community to have entrusted me with this position for all these years,” Eppolito said. “It’s really an honor to be elected to something like this — they put their faith in you that you are going to do the right thing.”

Red Cross Announces Upcoming Blood Drives The American Red Cross is urging eligible donors to give more life to patients into the new year by giving blood or platelets.

All blood types are needed this winter, Red Cross officials said. Platelet donations are especially encouraged the first week of the new year, which is among the most difficult to collect enough platelets to meet patient needs. Donation appointments can be quickly and easily scheduled by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

As a special thank-you for taking the time to donate, those who come to give through Jan. 7 will receive a long-sleeved Red Cross T-shirt, while supplies last.

Upcoming blood donation opportunities in the Springville area include:

• Jan. 2, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Pines Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center, 9822 Route 16, Machias; • Jan. 7, 12:30 to 4:30 p.m., Forestville Wesleyan Church Community Building, 9447 Prospect Road, Forestville; • Jan. 8, 12:30 to 6 p.m., Immaculate Conception Church, 510 Oakwood Ave., East Aurora; • Jan. 8, 1 to 6 p.m., St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, 6360 Route 242, Ellicottville; • Jan. 10, 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., West Valley Central School, 5359 School St., West Valley; • Jan. 12, 1 to 6 p.m. Free Methodist Church Community Center, 41 S.

First Day Hike at Allegany State Park

Department has put together a self-guided hike which will start at the Red House Picnic area. Stop by the picnic shelter to sign in, pick up a trail map and a winter scavenger hunt sheet, then make your way along the marked trail past Red House Lake, out to the Arboretum and Butterfly Meadow and finally to Camp Allegany where the Friends of Allegany State Park will provide some hot drinks and warm food from 12- 2 p.m. Hikers who want to go the extra mile (literally) can continue to historic Bova Ski Area. This easy to moderate hike is 3 miles to Camp Allegany or 4 miles to Bova, round trip. Interpretive points of interest are marked along the way. Come listen to birds, feel the warmth of the sun or the chill of the snow. First Day Hike will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Pre-registration is not required. Be sure to dress in appropriate winter hiking apparel. Weather permitting, snowshoes and trekking poles are encouraged. For more information, contact the Environmental Education/ Recreation Department at (716) 354-9101.

Winter

BUCKET LIST

The End-of-Year Holiday Concerts Anti-Bucket List

By Jennifer Weber

With all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season (almost) behind us, the very last thing you might be thinking about includes making more plans for the weeks ahead. Time for a rest, recoup and recovery session to start out the New Year!

Take a few moments of relaxation and check one of these items off your End of the Year (Anti) Bucket List, all which can be done without leaving your warm and cozy home.

Pamper Time! Go into the bathroom and pull out that stash of all things beauty supplies. You know the one with foot scrubs and bath salts and face masks and silky lotions? Dive right in and treat yourself! Take an extra long, hot shower and enjoy every minute. Soak your feet in a tub of Epsom salts. Enjoy a bubble bath surrounded by candles, a good book and a glass of wine. Consider this an organizational task to check off that perpetual to-do list and then reap the rewards of your efforts. Winwin.

Many people look at the first day of winter as the countdown to longer sunlight-filled days ahead and are dreaming of the beginning of spring and getting their hands dirty in the garden. If you’re one of these people, why not take a few hours of your time and move on from dreaming to planning your 2018 garden by paging through all those seed catalogs that have been coming in the mail and tossed to the side. All those glorious photos of planting possibilities await, along with the memory of last year’s failures wiped out of mind. It’s never too early to order—you’re guaranteed the very best selection early in the year and you can even start some seeds in potting soil indoors by the windowsill or under grow lights. Many herbs are indoor friendly and there’s nothing like adding them fresh into soups and stews and casseroles during the long months ahead.

Binge time! Find your favorite old-time television series and spend an afternoon getting through season after season while cozy with a blanket and bucket of fresh popped popcorn. You know you have the complete set of Golden Girls on DVD somewhere. Hidden right behind Taxi and M.A.S.H and next to Family Ties, right? And if you don’t, feel free to put that Amazon Prime streaming or Netflix or Hulu subscription to good use. The nostalgic trip back in time is worth a few less steps on your fitness tracker for the week.

Do you love to cook or bake? Do you have shelves full of cookbooks that you’ve paged through and earmarked recipes to try, someday? Or how about those of you with Pinterest boards a plenty with gourmet recipes saved that look too mouth-watering to be true?

Go find one of those recipes you’ve always wanted to try. Head to the grocery store and buy every last ingredient on the list if you don’t have it in your pantry.

Not having candied ginger is not permission to overlook that Lemon Ginger Pound Cake. Get out of your cooking and baking comfort zone and try something new.

Speaking of books, stop what you’re doing (well, after finishing reading this article of course). Carve out a few quiet hours of time and grab a book off the neverending to-read pile and get lost for a while. Doesn’t matter what book. Whatever suits your mood. Even a re-read of an old favorite. Once you start, you know you can’t stop. Forget vacuuming, the dishes can wait—the pages are calling your name. Go to them and get lost.

The last suggestion is certainly not one of solitude and quiet, but filled with great joy and lasting memories.

When’s the last time you picked up a board game or a card game and played with your family or friends? A classic game of Uno, Monopoly, Yahtzee, Connect Four or one of those new not-very-traditional-and-some-verynot-family-friendly games like Cards Against Humanity or Exploding Kittens. If you’re not the game type of person, pick out a puzzle, grab a coloring book, a set of LEGOS anything you can do together with the ones you love.

Springville Senior Awarded Senior of the Month

From left to right: Bill Snyder Jr., Phil Drozd, Clyde Drake, Joan Barsalou, Timothy Hogues, Mark Poloncarz.

By Carlee Frank

On Dec. 20, Joan Barsalou was awarded ‘Senior of the Month’ by Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz and Commissioner of Senior Services Timothy Hogues.

Each year, seniors throughout the county are recognized for their honorable volunteer efforts, and 2017 marks the first time that a Springville

senior has been honored.

Beginning with her work as a nurse in the United States Army, Joan Barsalou has a long history of selfless volunteering. She has worked at ECMC, the Suburban Adult Services for the Handicapped and countless other organizations. Recently, her position as CLUB 99 senior fitness Group Leader at the Concord Senior Center has

been indispensable.

“Joan and her exercise class actually saved the center,” Richard Dewauld, head of fitness and exercise, said. “They got down to the point when they only served meals when she held class –it was the only thing bringing people through the doors.”

Her assistance in the senior center’s current success was noted not

only by Dewauld, but by Supervisor-Elect Clyde Drake and CouncilmanElect Philip Drozd, who were both in attendance.

The celebration ended with a surprise musical cameo by Poloncarz himself. After admiring the musical abilities of the band, and admitting his own musical proficiency, he was asked to join the ensemble.
