O, Christmas Tree: When and where to get thee

By Kellen M. Quigley

So just how early is too early to put up your Christmas tree? Last week, the Springville Times on its Facebook page asked “How soon is too soon to put up your Christmas tree?” and “When do you like to put your tree up?” We asked these questions in part because of the seemingly age-old debate on whether the marketing of Christmas is getting earlier and earlier each year. After all, that genuinely modern phenomenon of early celebration of the season, The Hallmark Channel, started running its Christmas movies on Oct. 26 this year — five days before Halloween. Although not as early as Halloween, many people in the comments said they put their tree up before Thanksgiving. “Mines been up since before Thanksgiving. Oops,” one person shared. “The kids and I love it, so we enjoy it as long as we can” The most popular time commenters mentioned was the day or weekend after Thanksgiving, but some shared they do it on Thanksgiving Day or sooner. “Weekend after Thanksgiving usually, but this year it went up right before Thanksgiving due to schedules,” one comment read. Some people said the weekend after Thanksgiving through the first weekend of December is when they put their tree up, a common way to ring in the holiday. “I’m going to put mine up today,” said one comment on Nov. 29. “Our

Holiday cheer for all to hear at Christmas concerts

As with the lights and decorations, plenty of snow and jolly men in red suits, December brings with it a specific genre of music often only heard during this month. Regardless of your taste in music, whether it be traditional, jazzy, country or rock, there’s a holiday concert playing some of the most popular and beloved songs of the season near you. In addition to the large concert halls with professional orchestras, there’s plenty of musical merriment in Springville, too. These upcoming shows will have you tapping your toes and in the mood to sing along to all your favorites

do with Christmas trees being erected far earlier than in the past. Folks who are farther along in years than others might remember the time when real-pine Christmas trees were bought and put up just days before

Christmas — many families even waited until Christmas Eve. Although one commenter said anytime is fine for putting up the tree, they have to take it down soon after Christmas “so the cat doesn't climb it.” Along with the tree itself, some people also shared when they put up their outside lights. “I’m doing mine this weekend,” one commenter shared. “My outside lights go up on Thanksgiving Day.” A factor that several commenters mentioned was whether the tree is an artificial one or real. “I put my mom's ceramic tree up yesterday,” one person said, while another who planned to get one last weekend said, “Right after Thanksgiving for artificial, but about a week after for real.” For some, much closer to Christmas Day is the right time, though how long it stays up after is up for debate. “About one week before, take it down the first week in January,” said one commenter. “Never been a tree lover.” “My family has always put it up a day or two before Christmas Eve,” another person said. “It stays up until after Epiphany, Jan. 6th — And to be honest, it’s up even longer.” IN THE SPRINGVILLE area, there are several prime locations to pick up your real tree.

A Look Back:

The Grand Army of the Republic By Jolene Hawkins

Looking back to the year 1881, that was when the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) Crary Post #87 — named for Captain Charles Crary — was organized as a Fraternal Organization for the Veterans of the Civil War. Officers included H.P. Spaulding, Commander; John P. Myers, Senior Vice Commander; James Oswald, Junior Vice Commander; E.L. Hoopes, Quartermaster; George Barker, Officer of the Day; S.E. Spaulding, Officer of the Guard; Dr. C Waite, Surgeon; William Agard, Chaplain; O.M. Morse, Adjutant; E.D. Bement, Sergeant-Major; William Warner, Quartermaster Sergeant along with 40 other members. In 1866 the group was first started and membership was limited to Honorably discharged Veterans of the Union Army, Navy, Marine or Revenue Cutter Service, who had served between April 12, 1861, and April 9, 1865. The cost was two dollars a year.

The first GAR post that was established in New York state was the O’Rorke #1 Post in Rochester, which was started on October 9, 1866. By 1890, Buffalo had seven posts that all meet at the same place on the corner of Virginia Street and Elmwood Avenue, known as the GAR Hall. In 1897, Buffalo hosted a national encampment of the GAR. Up until the Civil War, the only National holiday that was celebrated was the Fourth of July. On Memorial Day of 1890, the GAR members would decorate the graves of Civil War veterans in the local cemeteries and lead ceremonies with bands and parades. Meals were prepared by the Women’s Relief Corp. and shared to all. Another motivation for the GAR was the See A Look Back page 3

Ellicottville officials: Shooting an ‘isolated’ incident

By Tom Dinki

Ellicottville officials believe Saturday night’s shooting was an isolated incident that won’t deter the roughly 1.5 million visitors who come through the village each year. One man reportedly shot another man once with a legally possessed Glock handgun near Washington and Monroe streets, the main intersection of the downtown’s popular restaurant and shopping area, after the two had fought and been removed from the nearby Villaggio restaurant and bar. The alleged shooter, Damien M. Marvin, 25, of Salamanca, remained at the scene and was charged with first-degree assault, a class B felony. The 41-year-old victim was in critical condition at Erie County Medical Center in Buffalo as of Sunday, according to New York State Police. Ellicottville Mayor John Burrell told the Olean Times Herald Monday that he does not feel the incident is indicative of the safeness of the village or its bar scene. “I think it’s very isolated. I don’t believe that the establishment did anything wrong. It’s not their fault, it’s not Ellicottville’s fault,” he said. “It’s a

tragic incident, but it’s obviously a one-time type of thing.” Burrell, a 73-yearold, lifelong resident of Ellicottville and former firefighter, said he could not recall another shooting in the village. According to citydata.com, a website that tracks crime statistics, Ellicottville had 21 reported assaults in 10 years between 2002 and 2012. There were no murders or robberies. “We turn on the TV or open the newspaper and we see it happening all over Western New York, but not in Ellicottville,” he said of gun violence. “But, certainly, it can happen in Ellicottville.” Ellicottville has built its reputation as a small but affluent ski town that offers an array of shopping, eating and drinking options. The Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce estimates that the village, with its 400 residents, receives more than 1.5 million visitors annually. Holiday Valley ski resort reports that it alone receives about 500,000 skiers a season. Officials with the chamber, which represents about 200 local businesses, said Monday they don’t think news of the shooting will impact those figures. “There’s still people walking through town

today,” said Barb Pump, the chamber’s communications, events and membership manager. “So I think everyone knows that it is an isolated incident, that Ellicottville is a safe place.” Residents and visitors who were out on Washington Street Sunday afternoon and spoke with the Times Herald said that they still feel safe, although the event has made them realize the village is not immune to such incidents. “I think it’s like any place — any place could be dangerous,” said Philip Beer, a Buffalo resident who regularly visits Ellicottville. “So just be careful.” With Ellicottville having its own town police department and being centrally located within Cattaraugus County, Burrell said the village has the emergency personnel to keep its residents and visitors safe. “We’re very cognizant of the type of people that come here and what they come here for,” he said. “Most of it is for recreation, and they need to know that we’re not waiting on a regular basis for a county sheriff’s deputy or a state police officer to respond from Hinsdale or South Dayton or Ashford. … You want to see a police car, you want to see the ambulance

responding, especially if you’re — as many of our part-time visitors are — from a city. If you drive through Ellicottville on a Saturday night, you will see one or two police cars and that’s very important for us.” Burrell said that was on display Saturday night. State police were already in the area at the time of the shooting and responded to the scene in fewer than five minutes before being joined by Ellicottville police and Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Office deputies, according to Burrell. The mayor also said that EMS services had the victim transported to ECMC within an hour. “There was nothing more that could have been done in any community than was done here, from a response basis,” he said. Like the chamber, Burrell said he doesn’t believe the shooting will keep people from visiting the village. “Obviously, people are going to be aware of it because it was on the news and in the paper,” he said, “but I think that as mayor and as a resident of the community, we go forward and we look at the positives that transpired immediately after the incident (in regard to the emergency response).”

establishment of a pension plan for Union Veterans. There was no social security back then and it was felt that it was needed to help the veterans in their old age. The GAR also started the Patriotic Mission with the idea to teach patriotism to the public, especially to children. They also wanted it required to teach the Civil War in schools. They campaigned to place flags in front of school buildings, in classrooms and all government buildings and gave American flags to the schools. The GAR did not like to see the mailmen wearing gray uniforms, so a campaign was started to require the mailmen to wear blue uniforms. The GAR was successful and even to this day, the employees of the U.S. Postal Service wear blue uniforms. In 1892, the logs that would be used to build the log cabin, that would be used by the GAR, Women’s Relief Corp. and the Sons of the Veterans are being cut. It will measure 24-by-30 feet with a basement. The main floor will be used for meetings and the kitchen was located in the basement. The Women’s Relief Corp, had dinners, ice cream socials and other events to raise money. We have a photograph that shows Mrs. Febbie Jackson, Mrs. George Hess, Mrs. Nicholas Rassel, Mrs. Fred Smith, Mrs. Jane Ashley, Mrs. Marilla Hyde, Francis Smith, Mrs. Caroline Bury, Mrs. Eugene Shippy, Mrs. J Gramps, Mrs. Martin Zimmerman, Mrs. Frank Bristol and Mrs. Inez Weaver, standing proudly in front of the

Log Cabin. The WRC was mainly instrumental in the success with which the Memorial Day exercises are carried out, gathering and creating the flower wreaths that they laid on the graves of the fallen comrades and also in paying for the erection of the Log Cabin in which all the groups meet. The WRC was organized in 1890. In 1891, the Soldier’s monument, through the endeavors of the GAR was erected in memory of the deceased Civil War comrades. David S. Ingalls, who lived near the village, came forward with a gift of $10,000 for the monument. The handsome monument of Quincy granite is 27 feet high and 18 feet across the base. J.P. Myers secured cheaper rates on the train for any of the living comrades and family to travel Springville where it was erected at Fiddler Green Park. A large ceremony with speeches, music, parades, bands and the Women’s Relief Corp. fixed an excellent meal for all to enjoy. In 1933, we still had three living Civil War Veterans in Springville, J. Duane Fuller, Philo Woodward and Francis Smith.

Springville board approves four properties for BENLIC acquisition By Kellen M. Quigley Four properties of concern within the village of Springville are expected to see improvements in 2019 after action to address the growing problem of distressed, vacant, abandoned or taxdelinquent properties through a regional program. At Monday’s regular Village board meeting, the board approved a resolution officially requesting the Buffalo Erie Niagara Land Improvement Corporation (BENLIC) acquire the four properties for potential improvements. The four properties are at 128 Waverly St., 48 Albro Ave., 311 W. Main St. and 118 Pear St. “The properties that are on here are the same as last time, except for the 311 W. Main,” said Village Administrator Liz Melock. “That was the only one added.” “It is much better than it was a few years ago,” said Mayor William Krebs. “The number of properties has decreased.” In July 2011, in recognition of the growing problem of distressed, vacant, abandoned and tax-delinquent properties, the state passed the Land Bank Act authorizing any foreclosing governmental unit (FGU) to create a land bank to strategically acquire, improve, assemble and sell such properties. Under this law, BENLIC was formed in May 2012 via an inter-municipal

agreement among the county’s four FGUs, being Erie County and the cities of Buffalo, Lackawanna and Tonawanda. County-wide land banks have proven highly successful in Michigan, Ohio and other regions experiencing growing numbers of problem properties by supporting municipal and regional revitalization efforts by strategically acquiring, improving and selling the properties. As the county’s land bank, BENLIC seeks to work collaboratively with the cities, towns and villages of the county to address the growing problem of distressed, vacant, abandoned and taxdelinquent properties. The village of Springville has recognized the need to address the growing issues of these types of properties and is desirous of partnering with BENLIC to address the problem. “If you look at the properties we’re chasing, the tax foreclosures are a bigger problem here than anything else,” Krebs said. “BENLIC is supposed to be the prime way that we can help turn properties with tax-foreclosure problems back to usable properties.” Melock said new this year is a change concerning vacant land. She said if vacant land is not sold within a year, BENLIC wants the municipality to take it over. “We did not put vacant land on here because I don’t think we are in a position to commit to that at this point,” she said.

Melock also said a stipulation requiring the village to mow the properties was also removed from the resolution. IN OTHER BUSINESS, the board discussed the decision to accept or not accept a grant from the Arts Service Initiative for $1,720. Mayor Krebs said the village applied for a $5,000 grant for public art and sculptures in Heritage Park. He said the total cost for the project would be about $10,000 with about $3,000 coming from in-kind services. “We only got a grant for $1,720, which is about 17 percent of the total cost,” he said. “If we don’t go ahead with this project, we have to tell the agency we won’t accept the grant.” Melock recommended the village accept the grant. She said the village could work with the artist to see if the art project’s cost could be reduced. Krebs also said they could use the funds for some other park improvement project. “We could put benches or something like that in any one of our parks,” he added. “And we could apply for this again next year.” Because they have until Christmas to decide to accept the grant, the board tabled it and would decide at the next board meeting Dec. 17.

Works report, Superintendent Kenneth Kostowniak said MDA Engineering completed the post-construction flow study. The study was conducted during heavy precipitation and concluded the sewer lining project has reduced infiltration significantly. Kostowniak said they are still having some infiltration in project areas due to leaking private sanitary levels. He said the village plans to address laterals over the next few months. LEWPA (the Lake Erie Watershed Protection Alliance) reviewed the village’s grant application and liked the proposal for a storm sewer mapping and GIS inventory project, Kostowniak said. Because they had more project applications than funding but wanted to see the village’s project done, he said LEWPA proposed getting work done by providing resources from US Soil and Water internship program and the Erie County Storm Water Coalition at no cost to the village or LEWPA. The village would provide existing equipment and assistance for a small portion. In an update on the Mill Street drainage project, Kostowniak said additional funding for the Erie County Soil & Water (ECSW) to repair the outfall is being drafted in the Legislature. ECSW and US Fish & Wildlife are also submitting a grant application for Spring Brook bank stabilization at Shuttleworth Park in December, he said.

Medical marijuana too expensive, varies in quality, West Valley woman tells Board of Health

LET US SHARE YOUR GOOD NEWS! Email info@springvilletimes.com or stop by our office at 65 East Main St. in Springville

By Rick Miller

A West Valley woman who credits medical marijuana with ending her use of opioids for chronic pain told the Cattaraugus County Board of Health Monday that it is too expensive and varies in quality. “I’ve been on (medical marijuana) for two years,” Lillian Mascho told board members, adding that it is not covered by health insurance and she “can’t afford it.” “Our medical marijuana program is failing its patients,” Mascho said. “Other states with medical marijuana have prices below $100 for their tinctures, capsules and vapes. New York needs to figure out ways to cut costs and be more efficient.” A small $160 bottle contained 75 doses of an oil used in a vape pipe, Mascho said. She placed the contents of another bottle in a plastic bag that had a harsh alcohol smell and passed it around the table. It should not smell like alcohol, she said. “The quality of the medication is lacking,” Mascho said. The vape cartridges available emit black smoke and taste like alcohol. The tinctures taste like alcohol as well.” Mascho asked why smoking “was not an approved route for administration of cannabis?” Cattaraugus County

has no medical marijuana dispensary. The closest one is 1½ hours away in Erie County. Registered doctors are no closer, she said. “Another option to help with the limitations for patients is allowing them to grow their own cannabis,” Mascho said. “What better way for patients to make sure they get what they need than this?” Dr. Joseph Bohan, president of the Board of Health, noted a patient could pay up to $30,000 a year for medical marijuana in New York. Dr. Kevin Watkins, the county public health director, told Mascho he would pass along her concerns to state officials. “Congratulations in getting off opioids,” Watkins told Mascho.

SGI

SGI Middle School to present ‘Rock of Ages’ this weekend By Elyana Schosek, Student Reporter Since late September, a cast and crew of about 40 students at SpringvilleGriffith Middle School have been working consistently with their music teacher, Katherine Cummings, in preparation for their upcoming production of “Rock of Ages.” “‘Rock of Ages’ is an exciting, high energy, ‘80s rock musical,” Cummings noted. The show will be presented at Springville Griffith High School’s Lyle G. Palmer Auditorium on Friday, Dec. 7 and Saturday, Dec. 8. The show will begin at 7 p.m. both nights. Tickets are $8 for adults, $5 for students and seniors and can be purchased online at www. springvillegi.org. For anyone who does not know the story: Narrator Lonny Barnett (played by Justin Simmons) tells the tale of city boy, Drew (Christian Safford) and small town girl Sherrie (Arika Leatherbarrow) as they set out to make their big dreams come true in L.A. The pair meets while working for Dennis Dupree (Jackson Crone) at the legendary ‘temple of rockn-roll’, the Dupree Room. Drew and Sherrie have

support and encouragement from Justice (Ayla Oakley) as they work toward success on the Sunset Strip. Things are just starting to go well for Sherrie and Drew when German developers (Gabrielle Cerasani and Lucien Oakley) show up with plans to tear down the Sunset Strip and the Dupree Room to build a strip mall. Recently fired from the Mayor’s office, city planner, Regina (Gracie Gilcrist) leads the citizens and supporters of LA’s Rock and Roll culture in protesting the plans. Meanwhile, Stacee Jaxx (Braden Steiner). lead singer of Arsenal. agrees to

perform their last concert at the Dupree Room before embarking on his solo career. Will the famous rocker distract Sherrie from what she really wants? Can the gang save the strip and make all their dreams come true in time for a happy ending? Step back in time with the rock music of Journey, Styx, Bon Jovi and more from the ‘80s to find out. After nearly two months of rehearsing daily, the actors, actresses and crew are finally ready for the upcoming show. Seeing as Rock of Ages is a rock show, “the vocal style

is very different from typical shows,” Cummings said. Cummings and the others involved in choosing the show and preparing for it have put lots of effort into this task. One of the main aspects that they look at when choosing is knowing the students they expected to participate, the number of students expected and their vocal and acting abilities. “We also try to choose a well-rounded variety of show styles over a three year period,” Cummings said. This is done to ensure that the students who participate all three years they are in middle school get experience in multiple types of shows. “For example, this year’s eighth graders have done a fairy tale farce, a wellknown classic piece of American musical theatre and now a rock-style show,” she explained. Over the course of two months, the cast and crew often get to know each other if they didn't already. “By the end of the process, they work very well as a team,” Cummings said. If you have any interest in ‘80s rock music or musicals in general, you are highly encouraged to join these hard-working students and their director to view the results of their effort in their presentation of “Rock of Ages.”
