Find Your Perfect Pine
By Jennifer Weber
When it comes to Christmas Trees, every family has their own special tradition. I fondly recall watching my parents drag the giant, tattered, taped up cornered cardboard box from the attic each year into the living room and meticulously separating each limb of our tree into piles of different letters. Somehow all those branches ended up organized and fluffed along a metal spine with holes to make the most magical Christmas tree ever. A process for sure, and that’s before trying to figure out untangling the lights! Other families choose to take a drive out to their favorite Christmas tree farm, trek through the acres of trees available—robust and round, tall and thin, festive and fluffy and cut down their own tree.

Residents Suggest All-way Stop at 240-Genesee Intersection

David Askinazi, of Clark, Patterson & Lee, explains aspects of the roundabout option for the Genesee Road-Route 240 intersection during a public hearing held Monday at the East Concord Fire Hall.

Attendees at a public hearing Monday met to discuss potential work at the Genesee Road-Route 240 intersection and vocalized
Middle school musical
opposition to a roundabout there. Instead, they opined for a four-way stop with no change to road configuration in that vicinity. Following a 20-minute
presentation from Clark, Patterson and Lee, an engineering firm hired by the county, members of the public commented for about an hour. About 50 people, many of whom identified with living near the intersection, were in attendance. Gina Wilkolaski, P.E., traffic safety engineer with Erie County Department of Public Works (DPW), said the public has the opportunity to comment about potential changes to the intersection through the end of the month, when a decision will be made at the county level.
David Askinazi, of Clark, Patterson & Lee, presented four options for the intersection: a roundabout, a traffic signal, a four-way stop that also realigns Sibley Road to intersect Route 240 north of the intersection, and a final option of doing no work there. The recommendations for the project came following a three-year traffic study that spanned June 2013 to May 2016. A total of 27 accidents took place there during that time period, with 25 being right-angle accidents, Askinazi said. He noted the accident rate of
kitchen building, a dining room, and a dance hall, where 300 couples could dance. The BR&P Railroad was making daily round trips to bring folks from Buffalo down to Springville to enjoy
a day in the sun and country at this park. In 1905, the BR&P ordered 15 new coaches for the use of the Cascade Park Run. In 1906, a merry go

A Look Back: Cascade Park By Jolene Hawkins
In 1899, The Buffalo Rochester & Pittsburgh (BR&P) Railway Company secured a farm on the banks of the Cattaraugus— about 150 acres— where a picnic area was established and called it Cascade Park. It was intended for a place to go after church on Sundays, for social and school gatherings and parties, as well as for family reunions for those that desired a day outing where they could be free from the disturbing elements often found at pleasure resorts of this kind. By July 1899, one could get a round trip tickets from Buffalo for 15 cents! With fine graveled walks that went up and down hillsides, and songbirds that were heard in the woods singing, and the woods themselves
were full of maples, beech, elm and evergreen trees, it was always a pleasure to get off the train and walk through the woods. Visitors could go and see the cascade falls as it flowed over the
rocky escarpments, or go wading or swimming if they wanted to. Every year, the popularity of the park grew, as well as the park itself, with the addition of a pavilion, a

Two new playgrounds will be built in Allegany State Park as part of a $2.6 million commitment for 12 new or improved playgrounds at 10 state parks across the state. One is already under construction near Red House Beach. The other will be built on the Quaker side of the 65,000-acre state park. It is part of a goal Gov. Andrew Cuomo proposed to modernize 100 state park playgrounds as part of the NY Parks 2020 Initiative. “With this investment, we are ensuring our park system remains second to none and I encourage families from near and far to get out and explore all New York has to offer,” Cuomo said in a prepared statement. Under the initiative, the state park will replace outdated playgrounds at the parks with code-compliant equipment, improve accessibility for people with disabilities and create distinct areas for young and older age groups. Playground construction will be coupled with site improvements, including shade trees or canopies, seating, water fountains and trail/walkway connections to the rest of the park. “Playgrounds encourage families with children to engage in healthy, active and creative play, and nurture a love of parks and recreation,” said State Parks Commissioner Rose Harvey. “I’m grateful to Governor Cuomo for investing in safe, attractive parks and drawing more young people to our great outdoors.” In Allegany State Park, a natural wood themed playground with sand play features and a low zip line will be located just off the Red House Lake Beach next to the bathhouse. In the Quaker area, funds will be used to replace and expand an existing playground at the Quaker Run Picnic Area with natural wood themed equipment with three elevated towers and net climbing features. Construction will take place in the coming months. The playgrounds are expected to be ready for use next summer.
BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT Ashford Junction Diner Celebrates One Year By Alicia Dziak
Traveling east from Ellicottville and south from Springville, where Routes 240 and 242 and also two sets of train tracks meet, it’s hard to believe this quiet little intersection of Ashford Junction was once a highly-populated area of Ellicottville. In the late 1800s, the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh Railway (BR&P) built a passenger stop in Ashford Junction, and businesses began to sprout up around it. Passengers making the trip from one major city to the next would often stop there to shop or eat, and it filled with stores, hotels and restaurants. As the years went by, and railroads became less necessary for travel, the area saw a decline in population, and it slowly morphed into what it is today—a cozy corner of Cattaraugus County. Today, one thing that still reminds us of days gone by is the Ashford Junction Diner, a quaint little restaurant that sits across from the tracks and will have you feeling nostalgic. The diner, which is attached to the Ellicottville Country Store, has been a store since the turn of the last century. It was also at one time a Harley-Davidson garage. And while the restaurant and building are steeped in history, current owners Jay and Peggy LaCroix are new to the business, proudly
getting ready to celebrate their first anniversary. The LaCroixs, who said they “live two minutes” away, discovered the opportunity when driving by en route to a school sports banquet for their son. While Peggy was a social worker, and Jay a painter, both were looking for a change. “We were both ready to do something different,” Jay said. That something different involved carrying on the tradition of the little restaurant in Ashford Junction. Soon, the LaCroixs found themselves using their relevant experience (Jay noted that his father was a food service manager at Holiday Valley, and that he grew up in the business) and re-opened the restaurant, which had been closed for a couple months in late 2016 when it was between owners. They decided to name it Ashford Junction Diner because of its location and because they both had family history rooted in the railroads, discovering through reading material that both their grandfathers and great grandfathers actually worked together in Ashford Junction on the railroad and at the Switch Tower that still remains across from the diner. The newly-opened and newly-renamed diner quickly became a hot spot for breakfast and lunch, which, according to the LaCroixs,
are both served from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. when the restaurant is open Wednesday through Sundays. That means you don’t have to rush out of the house in the morning to make it in time for breakfast! On the tables, guests can find history books about the railroads, Ashford Junction and other nearby areas. “We want people to know the whole history,” said Jay. Jay and Peggy work together in the kitchen and in the dining room, and their teenage kids even chip in on the weekends, making it a true family business. The atmosphere is one geared toward comfort and family. “It feels like one big kitchen, and everyone feels at home,” explained Jay. Peggy added that she thinks the diner promotes the lost art of conversation. “Everyone shares stories,” she said, adding that there are even a number of board games, like Shut the Box, to encourage families to spend quality time together and to unplug from their phones. While the diner offers many traditional menu items, they also offer some unique eats. “Our top seller as of late has been our Reuben Omelet,” Peggy said. “At first we were skeptical, but people seem to love it. Served with rye toast and a kicked up Thousand Island on the side, people love it! The second (most popular) is the Sweet and Salty, a large croissant stuffed with
a folded egg, bacon and Swiss, then drizzled with a homemade maple glaze—a splash of bacon bits makes a surprisingly great dish! People love Evelyn’s Oatmeal and The Gian which is made with our homemade corned beef hash, sausage gravy and biscuits.” The LaCroixs also recently introduced their “LaCroixant”— pressed croissants filled with a variety of deliciousness, such as spinach, feta and egg, or mac and cheese and tomato. “As far as specials, I never know what we’ll come up with. If it pops into my head we’ll make it,” Peggy noted. “Since we serve a majority of breakfast, we have a menu for the table. As for our lunch menu, it is an open made to order menu for patrons to make up what they want. We have a loyal customer from Buffalo and his sandwich creation became so popular we have it on the board as The Michael. So who knows? Someone else could be up there!” Peggy added that they also offer a limited kids’ menu. In addition to their impressive breakfast and lunch menu, the LaCroixs are bringing back their Friday Fish Fry starting on their one-year anniversary, Friday, Dec. 15. The fish frys, which were offered last spring during Lent, include Yuengling-battered or broiled fish with a choice of salt potatoes or homemade mac and cheese, cole slaw and a roll. They will be available take out or dinein until 8 p.m. on Fridays throughout the winter and early spring. And as for year No. 2 in business? “We are looking forward to seeing our business grow in 2018 simply by offering a great dining experience for all those who visit!” said Peggy. “So far, according to social media sites like Yelp, and Trip Advisor, we have 4.5-5 stars! We want to keep that reputation so keeping up on what we’re doing by being
Ashford Junction Diner owners Jay and Peggy LaCroix will be celebrating one year in business on Dec. 15.
able to offer more than just a dining experience. Having the antique and gift shop connected on the opposite side is definitely a plus especially when it’s busy! We don’t feel rushed and the customer gets more time to relax and enjoy themselves while preparing their meal. It’s a win-win!” Also, something for visitors to keep in mind, which is also on a hand written sign hanging inside the diner, Peggy said: “We don’t have a fast cook...we don’t have a slow cook...we have a half-fast cook! Jay takes pride in his cooking so don’t expect a fast food experience.”
“We just want to give visitors a piece of history and a fun way to begin or end the weekend here,” Jay said. “We want to make everyone feel at home!” The Ashford Junction Diner is located just minutes from the heart of Ellicottville, and a short drive from Springville, at 5364 Route 242 in Ellicottville. (Heading out of Ellicottville, it’s just past Robbins Road, where the Ellicottville Distillery is located.) There is plenty of parking both in front and in back. For more info, visit their Facebook page (www.facebook. com/Ashford-JunctionDiner-252763911820967/) or call 699-6100.

SGI Coaches Corner Girls’ Varsity Basketball, Coach Bob Gainey
The varsity girls basketball team played host to Mt. Mercy Academy on Saturday afternoon and lost 47-23. The girls opened the game down 16-0 which made it difficult to climb back in to the game. Early in the third quarter Grace Zabawa nailed a three pointer from the wing to cut the deficit down to 10 but that was as close as the Lady Griffs would come for the duration of the game. Despite the result, excellent performances were turned in by: Sydney Rosati, Ivette Lewandowski and Ryan Stedman. The varsity girls basketball team pulled off a thrilling 40-33 win over the JFK Bears on Monday night. The girls trailed for most of the game and were down by as many as 8 points in the 4th quarter. The tide turned behind the stellar defense of Grace Zabawa and Sydney Rosati. Both girls were fantastic in forcing turnovers to stop the Bears from scoring. Ivette Lewandowski was fouled while taking a three pointer with two minutes left in the game. She sank all three free throws to tie the game up. From there, Rosati buried a three in the corner and Grace Zabawa made an acrobatic layup to help the girls pull away. Ivette Lewandowski and Sydney Rosati each finished with 12 points, Grace Zabawa had 8 points, Mackenzie Engel chipped in 4 points and Ryan Stedman, along with Kelsey Zabawa, scored two points each to lead the Griffs to a big comeback win. The girls are now 1-1 on the season and open their league schedule on Thursday when they play host to the Maryvale Flyers. Great job girls!

on a roundabout,” Willibey said, drawing applause from those in attendance. He later added, “What we are on board with — with the town and everybody else — is a safer intersection up here for everybody.” Of those who spoke up during the meeting, most voicing opposition to the roundabout cited the cost, although it would be paid for 90 percent by federal funding, 7.5 percent by state funds and 2.5 percent by county funds, according to data provided by Askinazi. “It’s a viable option because we have the room to do it and the accident history and the severity of the accidents, we felt it would be beneficial,” Wilkolaski said about a roundabout. “That’s why it’s carried on to this point.” The public also voiced concerns about removal of the fire department’s well for construction; commuters sliding through the roundabout, especially from Genesee Road headed west, during inclement weather; tractors and other heavy equipment navigating it; and the impact construction would have on businesses and the nearby fire department. In regard to the latter matter, Askinazi said construction at the roundabout would allow for traffic to still navigate the same route. Also of note, the roundabout would be built
with malleable curbing, he added, allowing trucks to go up onto the roundabout circle, if necessary. In the four scenarios formally presented at the meeting, none suggested only installing stop signs along Route 240. The only scenario that did recommend an all-way stop also included rerouting Sibley Road to intersect Route 240 just north of the intersection, eliminating all five roads intersecting so close to each other. Askinazi said in the study, it was determined some commuters were uncertain if it was necessary to stop twice when pulling out of Sibley Road because of its close proximity to the intersection in the current configuration. “Sibley (Road) is kind of the problem child here,” added Wilkolaski, “otherwise it would have been a four-way stop a year ago.” Although it was mentioned multiple times by the public to install stop signs at the intersection first and then, if still warranted, eventually install a more significant change like a roundabout if the problem isn’t remedied, Wilkolaski said the timeline of funding will not allow for it and changes to traffic patterns should not be repeatedly changed. “If we are going to do an all-way stop, that’s what we are going to do,” she said. “And that’s maybe where
this ends up, but we don’t try an all-way stop that is there one day and gone the next because we were just trying it. If we are going to do an all-way stop, it’s going to be an all-way stop.” Toward the end of the meeting, Wilkolaski said only leaving the intersection’s configuration the same but adding additional stop signs — similar to the changes in the intersection of Genesee Road and Springville-Boston Road just two miles west — is possible. “The option to do the nobuild and have the county come in separate and just put up the stop signs (is) still an option,” she said. “We have not made up our mind. And becoming pretty clear here what the public wants.” She invited residents to submit their opinions in writing. Letters can be sent this month to: Gina Wilkolaski, Erie County DPW, 95 Franklin St., 14th Floor, Buffalo, NY 14202. A decision is expected to be made at the end of December, she said.

4.81 accidents per million vehicles is 13.74 times higher than the regional rate of .35 accidents per million vehicles. The intersection does not warrant a traffic signal, he said, because of the lack of volume of vehicles passing through it. The roundabout option was presented because of the lack of reduction in fatalities at roundabouts, he said, citing federal studies. “Even if there is an accident, because of the geometry on the approach, the accidents tend to be glancing blows instead of head-on collisions,” Askinazi said. “You might have a fender-bender or you might have property damage, but the fatal accidents are dramatically decreased.” But following the presentation, the vocal majority spoke out against a roundabout. Matthew Willibey, a past chief of the East Concord Fire Department, said since larger stop signs and “cross traffic does not stop” signs were installed on Genesee Road at the intersection in November 2016, there has not been a single personal injury accident there. The study — and the process to acquire funding — to remedy the problems at the intersection began before the signs were installed. “My opinion, and it’s the opinion of the fire department, I don’t think we need to spend $3 million

Celebrate the Season: Fun with Snowflakes
By Mary Heyl
The first blast of winter weather is finally here, and whether you’re breaking out the snowblower, eagerly anticipating a snow day, or heading to the slopes, you’ve got snow on the brain! Celebrate the season with fun DIY snowflake decorations, recipes and gifts that you can enjoy all winter long. The classic paper snowflake is one of the best activities to keep the kids busy on a cold, snowy day, but if your papersnowflake-making skills are a little rusty, have no fear! Although folding a square sheet of white paper into eighths and free handing a pretty design with your scissors is fun, after several snowflakes you may run out of ideas for patterns. Head on over to Pinterest, where you can find a huge variety of snowflake templates, from elegant designs to Star Wars characters to superhero silhouettes, like Batman. Simply print out the
templates, fold on the dotted lines and cut. After cutting out your snowflakes, use a cool iron to smooth them out. From there, you and your family can use the snowflakes for all kinds of projects. Use fishing line to hang them at different heights in doorways and windows. Paper snowflakes are perfect for adorning gifts; using a glue stick or doublestick tape, attach them to gifts wrapped in solidcolored paper. Decorate the living room with garlands of shimmering snowflakes, perhaps across the fireplace mantel. Just apply spray adhesive or dab a spongetipped glue applicator on the snowflakes and sprinkle with glitter. Shake off the excess glitter and let dry. Thread the snowflakes onto a satin ribbon and attach to the mantelpiece with poster putty. Snowball cookies are the perfect treat to kick-start your holiday baking—they freeze well and are perfect with a nice cold glass of milk! If you’re baking for a cookie exchange or have family members who have allergies, it may be a good idea to skip the nuts; YellowBlissRoad. com has the perfect, easy recipe for this classic, meltin-your-mouth cookie. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix 1 box of white
cake mix, 1/3 cup of oil, 3 egg whites and 4 ounces of cream cheese (softened) until well combined. Chill for 30 minutes. If dough feels sticky, add ¼ cup of flour or powdered sugar. Take about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball. Roll the dough in powdered sugar and place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the tops start to crack (but don’t allow them to brown). Let cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Dust with sifted powdered sugar and enjoy. For a festive, tasty gift, make your own snowflake marshmallows to give with a batch of homemade hot chocolate mix in a holiday mug. Coat a 12-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray; line with parchment paper. Spray parchment; set aside. Pour 1/3 cup of cold water into the bowl of an electric mixer. Sprinkle with 2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin; let mixture soften, about 5 minutes. Place 1 ½ cups of sugar, 2/3 cup of light corn syrup, 1/8 teaspoon of salt and 1/3 cup of water in a medium saucepan. Cover; bring to a boil. Remove lid; cook, swirling pan occasionally, until syrup reaches 238
degrees (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer, about 5 minutes. With mixer on low speed, whisk gelatin mixture, and slowly pour the syrup mixture in a steady stream down the side of the bowl (to avoid splattering). Gradually raise the speed to high; beat until mixture is thick, white, and has almost tripled in volume, about 12 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and beat 30 seconds to combine. Pour mixture onto prepared baking sheet; smooth with an offset spatula. Let stand at room temperature, uncovered, until firm, at least 3 hours or overnight. Coat a 1- or 2-inch snowflake-shaped cookie cutter with cooking spray to prevent it from sticking. Cut out as many individual marshmallows as possible; coat cutter with more spray as needed. Use marshmallows immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature up to one week.

ASP Christmas 2017-Red House Admin. Bldg. Lobby. jpg On Dec. 2, visitors to Allegany State Park got into the holiday spirit as they enjoyed family-oriented activities at the park’s first annual “Christmas in the Park.” Children had the opportunity to hang ornaments on several trees at the Red House Administration building. Then, it was on to holiday crafts and games. Santa greeted kids at the Red House picnic area shelter where they could tell him what they want for Christmas. While waiting to see Santa, people of all ages were invited to make a pine cone bird feeder to hang on their outdoor Christmas tree.

round was installed at the park for the children. Oh and we can not forget the baseball games that were played there— fun for all ages indeed! In 1922, the BR&P offered the sale of Cascade Park to Springville for the group forming a Country Club. Membership in the club would be open for everyone and the suggested ideas at the time were tennis, canoeing, (a newly formed dam had created a nearly two-mile lake) golf, dancing, baseball (free for the local teams), picnic grounds, camping sites, basketball, croquet and lawn bowling. There was already an established train service to the park, and they estimated that the dance hall alone with create a net of $1,000 each summer! The annual dues would be used to keep it running and maintained. Today, the property is the Springville Country Club. Several towns were offered this park, and of course, Springville got it… and the rest, as they say, is history!
