Merry Christmas Fun for All in Springville

By Kellen M. Quigley

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, especially for the kids (and hopefully some adults) who have the rest of the decade off from school or work. In between times of family and community celebration, there’s plenty of opportunities for seemingly endless fun over this holiday break. Hit the slopes at Kissing Bridge, which is open for the season, weather permitting. Lifts are spinning and the powder is calling all skiers and snowboarders. Kissing Bridge has 39 slopes spread out over 700 acres. There’s lots of great terrain perfect for the beginner or intermediate skier or rider, plus several challenging slopes for advanced. Whether new to skiing and snowboarding or experienced shredders, Kissing Bridge has the right experience for you with the

new Family Fun Experience and Family Mountain Adventure packages. Serviced by nine lifts, it is easy to see that at Kissing Bridge you will spend more time on the slopes and less time in the lift line. Visit www.kbski.com for more info. You can hit the slopes at HoliMont or Holiday Valley. Both ski resorts are open and in full swing. Choose from numerous lifts and slopes, warm up in the lodge and then head back out and do it all over again with beautiful scenes of the surrounding Ellicottville area. Check out www. holidayvalley.com for the latest updates and snow reports. Holiday Valley offers other ways to enjoy downhill winter fun if you want a break from or aren’t into the skis or snowboard. Holiday Valley Tubing Company 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. The park is located on the corner of Route 242 and Bryant Hill Road on the northeast of Ellicottville. For more info, including rates, visit www.holidayvalley. com/winter/tubing. Also visit the Sky Flyer Mountain Coaster near the Tannenbaum Lodge and get ready for a thrilling ride down through the snowy

As snowmobiling season gets underway in Western New York, town officials in Concord are discussing the safety on one new trail that goes through the heart of the town. At the latest Concord Town Board meeting Dec. 12, council William Snyder expressed concern with a couple of issues with the

use of the Rails to Trails route, including the unauthorized building of a bridge for snowmobilers near Sharp Street without the town’s knowledge. “As a policy-setting board, we’ve used a certain logic to pass codes,” he said. “An example would be a recent code we passed to require a private homeowner on his own property to get a permit

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 be sure to stay away from the ponds that are used for snowmaking. Snowshoeing is also available on the lower slopes and on the golf course, but be sure to stay to the side of the cross country tracks.

second-floor courtroom of 65 Franklin St. and would be open from noon to 9 p.m. Melock noted that Dec. 31 is the first day to sign independent nominating petitions, the first day to file the petitions is Feb. 4 and the last day is Feb. 11. Three village trustees spots and one village justice spot will be open, she added. “This is very important that if someone wants to run to fill any of these seats, the trustees or the village justice, you have to go online and get the petitions from the election office downtown,” Krebs said. In the superintendent’s report, DPW Superintendent Duane Boberg said because of the relatively good weather last week, the village was able to clean up the final piles of leaves that fell late. In the police department report, Lieutenant in Charge Nick Budney said the department in conjunction with the sherrif’s and fire departments assisted the US Army Reserve with a children’s Christmas party

at Tim and Bonnie’s on Dec. 8. He said the Army Reserve sent the police department a framed thank you letter. On Dec. 14, the department held the annual Shop with a Cop and it was a resounding success, Budney said. Fourteen officers and deputies assisted 30 youth at the Springville Walmart during the program. Krebs informed the trustees that he finished a draft of the tree replacement process in the village codes. He said Melock, Boberg and Code Enforcement Officer Michael Koleta have been involved with the re-writing process. “This redefines how the village will manage the trees in the right-ofway, the parks and other public spaces,” he said. “I hope early next month to get a draft to you for your consideration.” The meeting concluded with the board wishing all a happy holidays, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

For more info, visit www. holidayvalley.com/winter/ sky-flyer-mountain-coaster. 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

Winter sports can also be had closer to home, right at Sprague Brook Park, an Erie County park that offers snowshoe trekking daily from 7 a.m. to dusk. Miles of trails on varying terrain offer something for all abilities. For info, call 858-8513. Don’t forget to throw your sled in the trunk so you can take advantage of soaring down the sledding hill behind the casino building. Looking for some indoor fun? Head to Cascade Lanes or Springville Lanes for some competition. Order a pizza and a pitcher of pop and make an afternoon of it. Stroll down the village streets and stop into your favorite shops to stock up on gifts for yourself and postholiday deals. There’s no shortage of exciting adventures you can take this time of year. Enjoy the last of 2019 with friends and family and enjoy all Springville has to offer this holiday break!

But we’re going to allow a bridge to be constructed that’s going to be used by the public, motor vehicles crossing it, with no permit, no inspection, nothing?” Snyder said he is unsure of the legal standing of the town or what the authority would be in enforcing it, but suggested temporarily See Town Hall page 6

Springville village board holds final regular meeting of 2019

The Village of Springville Board of Trustees held its final meeting of 2019 Monday with a record pace. The village board approved the new fire department officers for 2020. The officers were unable to attend the meeting due to traffic control needs on Monday night, so they would be sworn in at the village office at another time. Next, the village board approved a resolution authorizing Mayor Bill Krebs to sign and execute all documents regarding the property transfers for Scoby Hill Dam to Erie County. A budget modification for the fire department by $1,500 was approved for a DEC grant for radios received by the village. “It’s very good to see we have some grant money coming,” said Krebs. Village Administrator Liz Melock noted the upcoming election information for village elections in 2020. The election is Wednesday, March 18, 2020, in the

A Look Back: Christmas Sleighs and Bells By Jolene Hawkins

Looking Back to a song we sing each year — you know the one — “Over the River and Through the Woods to Grandma’s house we go, The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh through the white and drifting snow. Oh how the wind does blow, it stings the toes and bites the nose as over the

ground we go. The dogs do bark and the children hark as we go jingling by, Oh hear the bells ring, ‘Ting a ling,’ Hurrah for Christmas day!” Let’s learn a little more about the song and sleigh bells. Lydia Maria Child was born in February 1802 in Medford, Mass., a little town known for sleighing and rum distilling. She grew up and became a schoolteacher until she married a Boston Lawyer in 1828. In her lifetime, she wrote 52 books, but now she is

not remembered for all of that, but for the poem she wrote in 1844 called ‘Over the River and Through the Wood.’ No one knows when it got set to music, but it became popular during the Civil War. By the turn of the century, it was a classroom standard. But what of the sleigh bells? They were decorative, sometimes they were silver or gold in color and had a practical function. They were made of sheet metal, bent into a spherical shape and a small ball bearing or short metal rod placed inside to create the jingle sound.

William Barton opened the first US Sleigh Bell company in East Hampton, Conn., in 1810. East Hampton eventually became known as “Belltown” because it produced so many bells. In the town of Boston, N.Y., there was a Bell Factory that was operated by the Yaw family. It was the largest bell factory in the United States, making cow and sheep bells. I could not find where they made sleigh bells, but they sure could have. It was still in operation and on the atlas map of 1880. While we all enjoy hearing sleigh bells, See A Look Back page 3

Local artist Fox honored with international award To Fox’s surprise, Quincey was brave enough to get into the cold pond. Then she took lots of photographs of the young woman in different poses in the water. Fox said she’s done quite a few drawings and paintings of her just from that one photography session. She said one pose, in particular, stood out among the rest. “What I originally had in mind was not what really struck me when I looked at my photographs afterwards,” she said. “That photograph of her just looking in the water with her hair coming down was something I thought would be a really beautiful drawing.”

By Deb Everts Local artist Barbara Fox recently received a purchase award from the Art Renewal Center (ARC) at this year’s International ARC Salon Exhibition. Her artwork will be on public display at the MEAM (European Museum of Modern Art) in Barcelona, Spain, along with 98 other artists’ works from around the globe. The show opened at the MEAM in Barcelona Dec. 6 and will continue through Feb. 2 before it returns to Sotheby’s in New York City where it will be on exhibit from July 17-27. Fox said she was honored to receive such a prestigious award. She said her detailed, 10-by21-inch charcoal and pastel drawing “Parting with Illusions” was purchased by ARC for $3,800 and is now in their collection. “I’m really honored because this is one of the top exhibits of realistic artwork. I paint very realistically, but I’ve never really put myself in that realm of ‘hyperrealist’ artists,” she said. “I want to paint and draw in realism, but also have a beautiful image that people recognize as a realistic piece of art, rather than people wondering if it’s a photograph or a painting.” This is not her first international competition. Fox said she has participated in a

number of them, but this particular competition is pretty special because they not only accept artwork from around the world, but they also present exhibits all over the world. According to Fox, she enters a lot of competitions throughout the year in mediums ranging from watercolor and oil painting to pastels and charcoal drawing. She said there are not many competitions for drawing that she knows of, but when she discovered ARC had a category for drawing, she entered her charcoal and pastel artwork in the drawing category. She said the focus of the Art Renewal Center is “realistic” artwork, so they are looking at not just the creativity in the image, but also the artist’s technical ability in painting, drawing or sculpting in realistic artwork. The drawing that won Fox the purchase award was that of Quincey, a young woman from Ellicottville who agreed

ACCORDING TO Fox, she didn’t start working on the actual drawing until about a year ago. She worked on it for about three months during December 2018 and January and February 2019, along with her other artwork. “It was difficult working with charcoal and pastel to create a drawing so realistic,” she said. “I always thought drawings would go quicker than paintings, but to do this particular drawing took a really long time. Every squareinch demanded the same amount of attention. After I finished the drawing, I thought it was pretty good so I entered it in the ARC competition.” When asked how

to model for her. Fox, who has known this young woman since she was a little girl, said she had an idea for the drawing. “We agreed to meet

at her grandparent’s pond, but it happened to be a very cold day in May 2018,” she said. “I thought, ‘There’s no way she’s going to get in that water.’”

she could part with such a beautiful and breathtaking piece of artwork, Fox’s response was, “Truthfully, when something leaves my studio, it’s not really mine anymore and I’m on to the next piece. I’m always working on something new, and whatever I’m working on is a special thing.” Fox works as a fine artist and illustrator from both her Mill Street studio, in Ellicottville, and her home studio, in the Little Valley area, where she resides with her husband, Bob Brachmann. A member of the Tri-County Arts Council, she’s also a master designer for the United States Mint and has been part of its “artistic infusion program” since 2007. Anyone interested in visiting Fox’s Ellicottville art studio should call 699-4145 or email her at bfoxart@ yahoo.com for an appointment. To see more of Fox’s fine art, visit her website at bfoxfineart.com. ARC is the largest online museum dedicated solely to realist works of art. The non-profit, educational organization is one of the internet’s leading art resources. ARC also runs the ARC Salon Competition, which is the largest and most prestigious competition in the world for realist artists.

SGI school board tours new P-TECH building By Ely Schosek Student Reporter The SpringvilleGriffith Institute Board of Education met Dec. 10 for its regular business meeting for the month, but prior to the start of the meeting, board members toured the new P-TECH building. The building was expanded upon tremendously as part of the most recent capital project. P-TECH is a part of BOCES which essentially allows students to enter the program in middle school and exit after a number of years with an associate’s degree in a specific area. The space was formally the district offices, which are now housed right next door in the middle school. At the board’s meeting, they heard from the architect of the project, Jeff Nunn, and the project’s Construction Manager David Vedder. Nunn and Vedder gave a brief overview of the work that has already been completed and that which is in the process. Another part of the

capital project, albeit a smaller portion but an important aspect nonetheless, is the modifications done to the Springville Middle School Library Media Center or SMS LMC. Superintendent Kimberly Moritz hopes for the board to move their meeting space from the High School LMC to the Middle School for their next meeting in January. Moritz recently toured the middle school alongside SMS Principal Shanda DuClon, including a few specific students in the library portion of the tour. These students have been looking forward to the new space and were excited to get a “sneak peak.” The kids wasted no time notifying Moritz of the fact that they wanted new books. Moritz mentioned to the board that she doesn’t want to have a “great new space with tired old books.” IN OTHER BUSINESS, SGI has an arranged partnership with West Valley Central Schools that allows West Valley students to

participate on SGI sports teams which they might otherwise not have the opportunity to do so. Next year, SGI will not be partnering with WVCS for football due to the fact that without the partnership, SGI will move classes. This movement is seen as a benefit in that it would become more competitive. This change would not dramatically impact WV as there was only one student who took advantage of the football opportunity and these students could be sent to a different school in the future. Athletic Director Joe DeMartino started off presentations by introducing Chad Russell, the cross country coach. DeMartino mentioned how Russell was able to create opportunities for great friendships starting in 7th grade up through some students’ senior years.

Between both the boys’ and girls’ teams, there are a total of 10 seniors. This team has run hundreds of miles together and attended a number of camps and invitationals. DeMartino added that he really couldn’t say enough about these athletes. Prior to the start of the season, some of the athletes attended at six-day camp at Allegany State Park with other teams from our area. Brett Russell, a senior who has been with the team since 7th grade gave a short breakdown of the team’s season. The team placed first in all dual meets earning them the division title against some great teams and competitors. At the sectional meet, the team won Section VI C1 and were 8 points away from the overall title which would have sent them to states as a team.

Jared Hecht, Brett Russell and Sonya Krezmien all competed at the state level and placed very well. Jared, a senior, said that cross country has given him one of the best team bonds he’s had on a high school team and he’s been on quite a few teams. He also said that cross country has taught him about dedication. Mikey Evans who is a junior, said that one of the biggest things is how close they are. “Every single day no matter how your day went you look forward to practice,” he said. Russell is always looking to modify the workouts to fit the runners. With so many seniors leaving the team this year, Mikey looks forward to building an even better bond with the younger runners next year. Coach Russell thanked the board for letting them

speak and noted that he felt like he should buy a lottery ticket, he was so lucky. ALSO OF NOTE, High School Principal James Bialasik addressed the board for his administrative report and noted that he liked what Mikey said about not forcing kids into things. “I think that’s an important message that we’ve been talking a lot about,” he added. Bialasik also noted that it’s hard to believe but they are already looking towards next year. The high school looks to host another “elective fair” for the upcoming freshman to see what their options are. This year, they are looking to hold a similar program for the 9th, 10th and 11th grade students to see what options they have regarding elections beyond just reading a curriculum guide.

SGI NHS members give thanks with grateful project By Ely Schosek Student Reporter Thanksgiving is a time devoted to giving thanks, much as the name suggests. Not everyone is grateful for everything they have, sometimes it takes more than it should for someone to realize. This is where the phrase, “You don’t know what you have until it’s gone” can be applied. Many families discuss what they are thankful for at the Thanksgiving table, but it isn’t uncommon for kids to struggle for an answer. That is part of the reason why SGI’s National Honor Society inductees recently introduced a sort of “grateful project” at the high school. “Gratitude is a time where you should reflect about all the things in your life you’re grateful for but don’t always notice,” noted NHS Secretary Sam Yetter. Nick Sullivan, NHS president, mentioned the following: “I think that it’s nice to take the time to appreciate all of the good things we have in our life, and this was a good way to help students think about

this.” Hannah Bergner added that NHS members “wanted to create an atmosphere in school that would allow students to express themselves.” Each student was given a sheet at the start of the week before Thanksgiving break. This sheet simply listed each day of the week with space for students to write. They were asked to write down one thing they were thankful for each day during homeroom. “By writing these things down you see all the things you appreciate that don’t seem very obvious in your daily life,” Sam added. At this time, teachers also play the morning announcements video. Each day, one NHS member made an appearance and told SGI students what they were thankful for to lead by example. At the end of the week, the sheets were collected and hung up outside the classes. “Sometimes we just forget about the things that we are grateful for and having five days to recall those things helps us realize that life is full of amazing things that

we may forget about because of the crazy lives people are living these days,” Hannah Bergner said. “We don’t always realize what we have in our lives and just see the negative things, but this forced you to slow down and reflect on something good in your life that you’re grateful for,” Sam added. “I think it was a good idea because we tend

Obituaries Carl J. Schelble, III

SPRINGVILLE — Carl J. Schelble, III, of Springville, died peacefully Dec. 11, 2019, after battling a twoyear illness. Carl was a 1979 Graduate of Springville Griffith Institute and served in the US Air Force. He was a snowboard instructor at Kissing Bridge for over 18 years.

to forget all of the good things we have in our life so it’s a good reminder

when we take a second to write down the things that we are grateful for,” Emily Ehlers mentioned. “I think it was a good way to start kids thinking about the things in their life that are good and help them appreciate them more, rather than focus on the negative things in life,” Brianna Kruszka said. NHS members wrote thank you cards to SGI teachers to show that students are grateful for their teachers as much as they may say otherwise. “Our goal of having a week of gratitude was to spread positivity and gratitude to our school community and we wanted to lead the students and staff in reflecting each day on something they are grateful for,” Emily Ehlers said. Morgan Kotlarsz added

that NHS wanted to do something in celebration of Thanksgiving. “This is the first time we’ve done this,” said NHS President Nick Sullivan. “This seemed to be a success so we might try to do stuff like it in the future.” Wyatt Fuller said it “gave everyone a chance to realize what means the most to them.” Similarly, Jessie Seifert said that she thought it was a good idea because “it might’ve made kids more appreciative of the things in their lives.” Giving thanks should not just be limited to around Thanksgiving; it should be year-round. SGI’s NHS members hoped to get students in the Thanksgiving spirit and to get them thinking about what they are grateful for with their recent project.

they also warn people that there was a sleigh or wagon coming along, and on a foggy night, this could save lives. Sleighs can be difficult to stop without notice and in many places, bells were required for the protection of those on the road. Here in Springville, even in the early days, you could get the sleigh bells, lap robes made of wolf, buffalo or wool to wear across your laps. Sometimes a heated brick or small heater would be on the sleigh to help keep your feet warm. Of course scarves, jackets, gloves, hats, the harness for the team of horses — unless it was a one-horse sleigh, then only one was needed — could be purchased easily. In the 1870s, A.D. Jones located on Main Street was the place to go for all such needs. By 1910, Bement and Brooks had all of these items and more. There

would be sleighing parties and caroling done from the sleigh as they went house to house or town to town. Sleighs could be purchased from most blacksmith’s shops. A sleigh is essentially a cold season alternative to a carriage or wagon. They came in open or closed or Bobsleighs, all sizes. Some had wonderful designs on them, and others were plain. One thing they all had in common was the long narrow runners that they used to slide across the surface such as snow or ice. Kids sleighs were popular as well, being pulled by the family dog! So were the sleigh bells used just during the snowy season on sleighs? Bernice Bensley had a use for sleigh bells. He hung them in his cherry tree and when the birds would come to eat his cherries. He had a string running from his kitchen door to the tree, as the birds came. He would ring the bells to scare them off. He was even thinking of applying for a patent. As Christmas season is upon us, what traditions will you pass on to the next generation? Will it be the stories from the past of Christmas past, of family and the

adventures they had? Give your child the present of the family history, either verbally or in written form. Look at the old family albums and remember your grandparents and the stories they shared with you, of Christmas tree decorations, of the wonderful food that was on the table — maybe even pass the recipes down in a cookbook form. Spending time with the family and with your friends is the best present of all. Stop by the Lucy Bensley Center on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and see what is on our shelves and archives. Bring down your family history and share with us, the photos and stories we can copies and store on our shelves for future visitors. You can call us at (716) 592-0094 or send us an email at lucybensleycenter@ gmail.com. You can hear some great music from some wonderful folks on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Concord Mercantile/Heritage Building located at 17 Franklin St. It really is the most wonderful time of the year!

Few weather events are as impactful and widespread as flooding. Floods can happen anywhere, and because of their ferocity, they are not a force to take lightly. The National Weather Service says flooding typically occurs when prolonged rain falls over several days, or when heavy rain falls or snow melts in a very short period of time. In such instances, the soil cannot absorb water runoff fast enough to avoid flooding. Flooding also may

occur due to the failure of a water control structure, such as a dam or levee.

• NOAA says a mere six inches of water can knock you off your feet. Try not to venture into flood waters on foot or by car. It only takes seconds to get swept away and potentially drown. • Flood water can be mixed with sewage and other hazardous substances, warns AccuWeather. It also could be hiding downed power lines or sharp objects. Avoid contact with flood water, as it may pose a risk for intestinal diseases or infections in open wounds. • All dampened structures will need to be properly dried out, which often necessitates utilizing a professional service. Otherwise mold and mildew can fester and lead to serious structural issues, not to mention sickness. • Use protective clothing and a mask when cleaning up after a flood to avoid respiratory problems. • Never enter a flood-damaged home or building until it has been declared safe by authorities. • If you are concerned about flooding, speak with an insurance representative about flood insurance. Flood losses typically aren’t covered under a homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policy. Damage can cause a catastrophic financial loss otherwise. Floods are intense and scary events that require extreme caution and care before, during and after the event.

Learning French through games and activities By Ely Schosek Student Reporter Springville-Griffith Institute offers two foreign languages beginning in seventh grade: French and Spanish. In middle school, it’s all about learning the basics, but high school, on the other hand, is more about applying the language. SGI’s high school French students are always looking forward to class! That’s probably in part because it feels like we never do any work and the class is packed full of energy and excitement. Madame Brown always says that just because we rarely ever do notes doesn’t mean we aren’t learning. She enjoys tricking our brains

into thinking we aren’t learning when we are. Each week on Wednesday, students walk into class expecting to hear a new French song. This all part of “Musique Mercredi” which translates to “Music Wednesday.” Brown will play the class a song that is currently popular in French music and always has an activity to go along with it; whether it be filling in the blanks, reordering the lyrics or writing what they see in the music video. It’s not uncommon for students to be humming the song later in the day or add it to their own music. Many of these songs stick with students for months or even years in some cases.

In the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas, Brown shows her students French Christmas commercials and accompanies them with various activities. The most recent of these included reading the video’s transcript and acting it out as a class. Another popular activity is “desinner, mimer, créer” in which Brown has the class split up into groups. She gives one person from each group the same word and then has them either, draw it, act it out or create it out of Playdough. Their group has to guess the word and then write it on a whiteboard. Points are assigned according to speed and accuracy. Brown also has

Fireside series at Allegany State Park set for Dec. 21 As the holidays draw closer, take a moment to make your season a little merrier by spending a relaxing evening in the lobby of the Red House Administration Building in Allegany State Park. Join us on Saturday, Dec. 21 for “By the Fireside.” This month’s featured performance is by the Studio 107 Chamber Players of Olean High School, who will be playing songs of the season. The group, while consisting mainly of students, is often joined by alumni, community

members and teachers. They got their start in 2008 performing at the Olean Community Thanksgiving dinner. Since then they have performed at various venues including community events, weddings, private parties and nursing homes. Each March during “Music in our Schools” Month the students offer a program called “Harmony in the Morning,” performing in the school foyer for a half hour each day before school starts. This program offers the

numerous classic board games that she has modified for French class including Clue and Monopoly. Students are required to speak French as much as possible throughout the duration of the game. It is not expected that students know every word so Brown is always more than willing to lend a hand when it’s needed. Brown is a big supporter of knowing how to have a conversation with someone in French, not just knowing how to conjugate verbs although that is important too. That’s why many of the games and activities involve describing an object or word to a partner and having them use your hints to guess

what it is. These sorts of activities enable students to work around the specific word that they might not necessarily know while still being able to get their point across. Recently, Brown introduced a new game that is somewhat hard to explain — it seems sort of like baseball but with Brown’s rules. There are two teams who line up on either side of the room and alternate being the “batting” and “pitching” teams. Each team sends one person up to the board and Brown gives a word in English. The first person to write the French translation and “pivot” back around gets the point. If they are the “batting” team, then

they advance around the “bases” which are just different spots in the room. If they are the “pitching” team, their goal is to get three words in order to “strike out” the other team. Many students noted after class that they aren’t quite sure where Brown comes up with these things but they are definitely grateful for it. Despite the fact that French class consists largely of games and fun activities, students are constantly learning and improving their knowledge of the French language. The lesson here is that you don’t need to just do notes and vocabulary quizzes in a foreign language class to learn the language.

On behalf of the Springville Field and Stream Club and the Springville Community Trout Pond Renovation Project, we would like to sincerely thank the Springville Griffith Community Education Foundation (SGCEF), the Felton Burns VFW Post, Green Springville, Inc. and all individuals and businesses who contributed to the SGCEF fundraising event on Nov. 2. It was truly motivating to see the community embrace and support this project. Since taking ownership of the pond in 1937, the Springville Field and Stream Club has maintained and offered this amenity free to the public. It is the intent of our club to renovate the current pond, add wheelchair-accessible fishing, rebuild the hatchery, add a learning center and keep the pond available for the public to use free of charge. It has always been our intent that individuals of all ages and abilities have an opportunity to fish and make quality memories. It is our intent to keep that dream alive through this new vision. One of the most gratifying aspects of this project is hearing stories from people who have fished the pond with parents, grandparents, friends or relatives. Memories of kids lining the banks of the pond on the opening day of trout season, stories of nursing home residents catching a fish for the first time in their lives on one of the annual senior citizen fishing days. Green Springville, Inc. is our eligible 501C-3 Not-For-Profit partner on this project. Having them as a partner does allow for corporations, individuals and organizations to contribute to this project and utilize eligible tax deductions. For more information, a project Facebook page, “Springville Community Trout Pond Renovation Project,” is available for the public to view progress and be informed about upcoming events like the March 9 Fly Fishing Film Festival and the May 16 Golf and Trap Shoot. Again, we sincerely thank everyone for their support and any contributions they may have made. We are always appreciative of any support from the Springville and Western New York communities. Thank you! Springville Field and Stream Club Pond Renovation Committee

Holiday Valley Tubing Co. expected to open this weekend By Kellen M. Quigley Looking for something that’s fun for everyone and all you have to do is sit down, hang on and experience the exhilaration of pure winter fun? Holiday Valley Tubing Company, a tubing park just a five-minute drive from downtown Ellicottville located on Route 242, is expected to open this weekend, weather dependent, just in time for the Christmas holiday break. “If all goes according to plan, the opening day will be Thursday the 19th,” said Jane Eshbaugh, director of marketing at Holiday Valley, last week. The snow tubing park will once again offer 22 lanes that are a 100-foot drop down tracks 900 feet long. Along with singlewidth lanes are three group lanes for linking up with friends and experiencing the thrill together. “We’ve been making snow out there and it looks like there will be 10 to 12 lanes open to start the season,” Eshbaugh said. “We put in a new water pump for the snowmaking,

which makes our snowmaking system more efficient.” The biggest renovations in recent history came last year when the old main handle tow was replaced with a brand new conveyor lift. So again this year, just grab your tube, step on and away you go up to the top. This will allow for more capacity, which means more

rides for everyone. “It helps make the flow go a lot better and you can get people up there and fill all the lanes before we say go so there’s more people all going down at the same time,” Eshbaugh added. Additionally last year, three state-of-the-art HKD fan guns and six new HKD tower guns were installed for making more snow in

a shorter time frame, using less energy. For children under 7, a special Little Tubers area is available, weather permitting, at a cost of $5. The minimum height requirement for the “big hill” is 42 inches or taller. A cozy warming hut is at the base of the hill with a snack bar, fireplace and restrooms. Or you can

She said the original idea was as a fun afterskiing activity, but it’s also attracted a lot of people to Ellicottville who may never go skiing. “Plus, we make our own snow, so when you might not be able to go sliding on your back hill, we’ll have snow out there,” she added. The Holiday Valley Tubing Company is located on the corner of Route 242 and Bryant Hill Road, just 4 miles from Holiday Valley. A free shuttle service to and from Holiday Valley is available every two hours during operating hours. Pickup is at the Resort Services Center.

closing the bridge as an option of what should be done until the town receives clarification and a recommendation from the planning board. “I did not anticipate a snowmobile trail opening on this trial and a bridge being constructed. It was a total surprise to me,” he said. Town attorney Brian Attea said although it makes sense from a logical standpoint, legally the town could have to find a code provision that applies to the bridge from a public safety standpoint because the bridge may not fit the definition of a building or structure. “There’s a number of issues with the trail, one is going right back to the beginning, the resolution

we adopted in 2008,” Snyder said. “We have landowners, taxpayers that we represent in the town of Concord that live adjacent to the railroad property who are adamantly against having a snowmobile highway in their backyard. Many of them didn’t want a walking trail and now it’s turning into a snowmobile trail.” Snyder said his duty is to represent the residents and taxpayers of the town who don’t want it, not necessarily the snowmobile club who would use the trial. “I understand there is an agreement between the railroad and the Rails to Trails organization,” he said. “There’s been lobbying action and the state is involved, but we

have yet to see a contract, a legal agreement. We have no idea what it says, we have no idea where our standing is as the municipality fits into it, whether we have any say or not. But I at least think we need to see that agreement.” Snyder said during the town’s recent Master Plan process, there were many town residents who attended public meetings on the plan who expressed concern with the Rails to Trails project. He said while the project is outlined in the plan, a number of things that were supposed to take place before the trail is open hadn’t been completed. “It was made clear by the engineering firm that helped us put it together

Letter to the Editor Village of Springville Holiday Message

Dear Editor,

I’m looking out the window as a Lake Effect blankets our village. A picturesque winter snowscape envelops our village covering our holiday decorations and festive lights. What a Currier and Ives image! What a beautiful place Springville is, even as our streets division prepares for its snow removal work. On behalf of the appointed and elected officials of the village, I wish our residents and our employees a merry and blessed holiday season. The New Year is a time to rejoice, reflect and celebrate. We have much to be thankful for. May the faith, hope and joy of this season enrich your lives in our village. Mayor Bill Krebs Village of Springville

that the municipality would have a say in whether a trail like that opens and gave specific examples where they didn’t open because there were these types of concerns,” he said. “I think when you start adding all these things together, at a minimum there is a concern and I think we have to put the brakes on it somehow until we get some of these questions answered.” For a next step, Snyder suggested the town pursue being able to look at the agreement between the railroad and Rails to Trails. Because the trail does border and goes through other private property parcels, Attea said the town has a case

for trying to read the contract. “Do we have the authority to tell somebody that they can’t use private property that they’ve gotten permission for?” asked councilman Kenneth Zittel. “I can see the safety part, but I don’t know. We can state our opinion, but do we have any teeth?” Unless there is a justifiable code provision or law, Attea said the town wouldn’t be in the position to tell a private landowner who can and can’t cross the private property, unless there is a safety concern. “It’s not like you’re necessarily stretching or straining to find a reason, but the simple answer

is you wouldn’t be in a position unless there was something under the code or state law or county code that put the town in the position where they do have the legal authority to take a position,” he said. Although his primary focus is on representing the town and the town’s residents, Snyder said he is not against the snowmobile club. “I know it’s not popular to take up a position against the snowmobile club. There’s a lot of members of the snowmobile club and they do a lot of good things,” he added. “There’s reasons to open the trail, especially under the original intent as a walking trail.”

Hiram Garcia / Columbia Pictures From left, Kevin Hart, Dwayne Johnson, Karen Gillan and Jack Black star in “Jumanji: The Next Level.”

Same-game ‘Jumanji: The Next Level’ still fun adventure By Kellen M. Quigley After the unexpected hit that was “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” in 2017, the longawaited sequel to 1995’s “Jumanji” with Robin Williams, it is no surprise that a third film in the series was going to come along, but I didn’t expect it to be released almost exactly two years later. With much of the cast and crew returning, including several of the same writers, producers, director and four main stars, the old adage “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” applies perfectly for this sequel, and another box office hit this is sure to be. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t some drawbacks. While this film does have many new elements — setting, storyline, some new characters and unique twists — it is still the same game with the same rules, and with many of the same people making it, there is some familiarity that’s hard to ignore. Luckily, the creativity is still there, and the devotion to the main cast of characters in the video game, namely Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan and Jack Black, “Jumanji: The Next Level” is absolutely a fun family adventure with plenty of laughs along the way. Set two years after the events of the previous film, pals Martha, Fridge and Bethany are still close while their fourth friend Spencer has grown more distant. When they plan to all meet up during Christmas break, Spencer fails to show up and the others go to find him. It turns out he’s gone back into the fantastical world of Jumanji, the video game that trapped them together before. But the game is now broken, and fighting back, bringing the three friends, Spencer’s grandpa Eddie and his old friend Milo along for the ride. When everyone arrives back in Jumanji, things are very different from before and everything the friends knew about Jumanji is about to change as they soon discover there’s more obstacles and more danger to overcome. Easily the two best aspects that make this sequel different and special are the inclusion of the grandpa and his friend, played by Danny DeVito and Danny Glover, respectively, who

are hilarious as you’d expect. But the twist is when they enter the game as Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart, which inevitably leads to many more hilarious situations. And that gimmick is what primarily drives the movie as other realworld characters are also in the wrong video-game characters, letting the big Hollywood stars exercise their acting chops and do some impressions. There are few things more entertaining in 2019 than watching The Rock pretend he’s DeVito and Hart pretend he’s Glover. Unfortunately, that’s where the new and interesting stuff ends. While this third in the series is still fun and entertaining, it is a lot of the same from what you’d expect in a video game. There are levels, obstacles to overcome, characters to talk to and bad guys to beat. Rinse and repeat. Part of this is due to Gillan and Black’s characters as Martha and Fridge having to explain everything to Johnson/DeVito and Hart/Glover who are in their 70s and don’t have any knowledge of video games or what’s happening. Granted, that does lead to some good jokes, but also a lot of repeated jokes from the previous film. Luckily, with as little sense as the story makes both in the real world and in the game, the characters’ arcs are what really make this pretty by-the-numbers family adventure so enjoyable. In the two years between the previous movie and this one, the kids have grown and changed and become closer friends, except for Spencer who is still doubting himself. So when he comes back in a different character’s body — cat burglar Ming, played by Awkwafina — Spencer learns he is still himself and his friends like him regardless of what body he’s in. Meanwhile, Eddie and Milo also grow to understand each other through the adventure and become closer friends after so many years apart due to a feud. Regardless of the overthe-top performances, inconsistent special effects and forgettable story, the actors, humor and sense of adventure in “Jumanji: The Next Level” definitely take this movie franchise to the next level of fun.

Gallivan supports rejection of public financing of political campaigns State Sen. Patrick M. Gallivan (R-Elma) is renewing his call to reject the recommendations of the Campaign Finance Reform and Election Commission. The commission was created as part of the 2019-20 budget process and given the authority to amend state Election Law, including the creation of a system of public financing of campaigns and the

elimination of fusion voting. The program would cost New York taxpayers $100 million. “This was a bad idea when it was first proposed and that’s why I voted against it,” Gallivan said. “In light of the state’s $6.1 billion budget deficit, it is an even worse idea now. Hard-working New Yorkers should not be forced to fund political campaigns, especially

The recommendations become law unless legislators make changes. “I look forward

Mills recognizes Deputies for handing Springville incident Erie County Legislator John Mills recognized Erie County Sheriff’s Deputies John Dunn and Shane Miller as Erie County Legislature December 2019 Citizens of the Month. Deputies Dunn and Miller were recently awarded the Governor’s Certificate of Exceptional Valor after they confronted an armed assailant outside a Springville convenience store on Aug. 5, 2018. “Deputies Dunn and Miller are heroes,” Mills said. “Their brave actions and swift response helped defuse a situation that could have turned deadly in a matter of seconds.” Deputies Dunn and Miller responded to a call reporting a man with a sawed-off

shotgun at the Country Fair convenience store in Springville. After they confronted the suspect outside, he refused to drop his weapon and advanced toward the Sheriff’s Deputies. The deputies then discharged their pistols striking the suspect. Because of their actions, 12 people inside the store were unharmed. “It is an honor to recognize Deputies Dunn and Miller as Erie County Citizens of the Month and thank them for their service,” Mills said. “We are extremely grateful for the first responders who go above and beyond to keep our communities safe.”

Sacred Heart takes title Russell, Hecht lead SGI boys game over Springville girls at Buffalo State College indoor meet

BUFFALO — Sacred Heart was too much for Springville (3-1) in the girls basketball championship game of the Sacred Heart Academy Tournament on Saturday, as SH’s exceptional three-point shooting led it to the title. Sacred Heart won, 7134. Mackenzie Owens and Meg Rehrauer were both selected to the alltournament team for Springville. The Griffins will be back in action on

Thursday night, when they host Lake Shore for a league game.

Springville 51, Depew 34 SPRINGVILLE — Three double-digit scorers helped lead Springville to a victory over Depew in its first league game of the season on Dec. 13. Despite trailing early in the game, the Griffins roared back to a 16-point halftime lead on sharp shooting from Mackenzie

Owens and Ivette Lewandowski. Owens would finish the game with 19 points, while Lewandowski racked up 14 points. Meg Rehrauer played a key role on both ends of the floor for the Griffiths, as she scored 12 points and played tight defense on Depew’s top offensive player. Also scoring for Springville were Belle Oakley with three points, Jess Engel with two points and one point by Gracie Attebery.

Springville swimmers topple Lake shore, 100-65 LAKE SHORE — Eric Schweickert, Austin Yetter, Blaze Schelble and Zach Hughey were all individual swimming winners for Springville in a meet against Lake Shore on Dec. 10, while Wyatt Fuller took first place in diving. SGI won, 100-65. Fuller performed a

career-best score of 300.45, ranking him sixth in the state. Schweickert won the 200-meter freestyle, Yetter won the 200-meter individual medley, Schelble took the 100-meter freestyle and Hughey was victorious in the 100-meter backstroke.

The Griffins also won the 200-meter medley and 200-meter freestyle relays. So far, SGI has 12 athletes who have qualified for postseason competition after only three meets, and will continue to look to increase that number.

Lake Shore holds off Springville boys, 73-52 SPRINGVILLE — Despite a 28-point performance from Austin Boies, the Springville boys basketball team was defeated by Lake Shore on Dec. 12, 73-52. Boies also had four rebounds, four assists

and three steals for the Griffins, who fell to 0-4 with the loss. Eric Copeland had 12 points and six steals for Springville, while Cyrus Fisher had four points and 10 rebounds. Leading the way for Lake Shore was the

duo of Colin Herzog and Zach Evans, who combined for 43 of the Eagles’ 73 points. Herzog racked up 25 points, while Evans scored 18 points. Springville was back in action on Dec. 19, when it travels to Tonawanda.

BUFFALO — Brett Russell and Jared Hecht teamed up to lead the Springville boys in distance events at the Buffalo State College indoor track meet, as both were part of the winning 4x800 meter and third-place 4x400 meter relay teams, along with Zach Peterman and Mike Evans. Russell took first place in the 3200 meters (10:12.19), while Hecht was victorious in the 1,600 meters (4:38.96). Charles

DiGangi took first for the Griffins in the 300 meters (:40.17). Nathan Myers was third in the 600 (1:37.85), Peterman was fourth in the 1,600 (4:49.09) and Evans took fourth in the 3,200 (11:25.50). For the girls, Sonya Krezmien won the 1,500-meter run with a time of 5:10.6. The relay team of Jamie Dickenson, Emily Schlemmer, Sonya

Krezmien and Evelyn Smith won the 4x400 meter relay. Schlemmer finished third in the 55-meter hurdles, and the team of Schlemmer, Smith, Janay Ghani and Sydeny Wittmer took second in the 4x200 meter relay. Ghani was fourth and qualified for sectionals in the 300 at :44.9. Schlemmer was sixth (:46.05). Dickinson was second in the 600 (1:50.48).
