Each year at SpringvilleGrifﬁth High School, the students in Jonathan Shelley’s Tech 1 class are presented with an interesting and unique assignment. They are given the task of creating a boat out of only cardboard, zip ties, and duct tape The students are also given a limited amount of plastic to cover their boat to prevent it from getting wet. After nearly three weeks of working in class and preparing for the competition itself, the students met at the high school pool at the start of third period on Thursday, Dec. 20 for the annual races. Twelve teams were involved in this year’s competition, each consisting of two students. The boat must be within eight feet in length and four feet in width. In addition to

constructing the boat itself, the competitors were also tasked with creating paddles out of a wooden handle and the previously mentioned materials. While the competitors were busy preparing, many of the high school students and their teachers began to ﬁll the bleachers. A schedule was posted for the competitors to make note of and take in their competitors. Shelley announced each race while standing on his paddleboard, from which he judged each race and graded the students. Next week, we’ll talk with some of the students who participated and see what makes the cardboard boat construction and race both a challenge and a good time.

Local Springville farmer says Christmas tree sales were on the rise By Deb Everts

Real Christmas tree sales were very good this year. The demand was so great that Harold Hill, Jr. had to close the doors early at his Hill’s Christmas Tree Farm on Dec. 16. Hill said he has seen a deﬁnite increase in real Christmas tree sales over the last couple of years. He said he was still getting calls from people wanting to go out and cut trees long after his closing date. “We harvested as many as we could this year,” he said. “This farm can produce only so many trees a year, which is a signiﬁcant number, and we hit our limit.” He said their biggest seller is a 7- to 8-foot tree but, in the last three or four

A Look Back:

The Robinson Knife Company BY JOLENE HAWKINS

Looking Back to some of the business we had in town, the year is 1929 and the largest single industrial employer in Springville was the Robinson Knife Company. And in that year, they paid $108,000 to its 100-plus workers. Located on the corner of Main and Carolina streets, it is a three-story brick and steel plant, close to the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburgh Railroad Company lines. The Robinson ﬁrm began business here in Springville in November 1927, when consolidating its Cuba, N.Y., and Bradford, Pa., plants. George Robinson and W.R. Case founded it as Robinson Knife in 1921. Robinson was an English cutlery maker and Case was a manufacturer of a variety of knives, scissors and straight razors. G.L. Robinson was president, David Skerker treasurer and R.C. Goodrick superintendent, all actively engaged at this plant. L.H. Simon of Bradford was Vice President and secretary of the

corporation. They have been making cutlery since 1920. The particular type of utensil specialized by the ﬁrm is table and kitchen cutlery, both of carbon and stainless steel. It is incredible what an ordinary kitchen paring knife must go through before it is ready to be displayed on the hardware dealer’s counter. It involves the intelligent attention of many careful hands from the dieing out of a strip of steel through the tempering; annealing, grinding, shaping and riveting of the handle; polishing and cleaning; and then packing before the knife is ready to be shipped out. Many different shapes and sizes are made to meet various requirements, some with wooden handles, some with celluloid See A Look Back page 4

Continued from front page Comprehensive Plan from 2015 as well as new goals for the town itself. Drake said the town’s website has been updated to contain the 2018 Town of Concord Comprehensive Plan. The plan is also available in the town clerk’s ofﬁce. IN OTHER BUSINESS, Highway Superintendent Dennis Dains said his department had been busy taking care of the snow that hit the area over the past couple of months. He said about a foot-and-a-half of snow blanketed the town during each of the ﬁrst three snow storms of the season. “The guys did an excellent job keeping the roads plowed during each storm,” Dains said. The storms hit between Nov. 2 and Dec. 10, he said.

“During this timeframe, we’ve been out a total of 14 days with multiple runs.” Based on those three storms, Dains said the town is expected to be over budget on salt and sand. “I apologize for that, but I can’t stop Mother Nature,” he added. While plowing, sometimes the force of the snow knocks down mailboxes, Danis said, but the town is not responsible for ﬁxing those boxes if there is no damage from the plow. He said he may consider ﬁxing the boxes if the plows directly damage them. “It’s a privilege to have your mailbox in the right of way and the town is not responsible for maintaining that,” he said.

The reorganizational meeting for the Town of Concord was scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 9 at 6:30 p.m. The regular board meeting would follow at 7.

“I hope it will be unanimous,” Snyder said of the vote for chairman. “I get along well with Democrats. We’ll see what happens.” The only question, Snyder said, “is who will be vice chairman.” Labuhn, Snyder said, “is probably one of the most engaged legislators we have down there. She’s done a real good job. Sue has been fun to work with. We work very well together. I’m looking forward to working with her regardless if she is elected vice chairman.” Snyder said he hopes the bipartisan coalition stays intact. Hale is a member of that coalition along with Republicans Joseph Snyder of Ischua and Frank Higgins of Olean. Higgins had come under pressure to peel off from the bipartisan coalition and some Republicans had urged him to seek the chairmanship, promising him enough votes to unseat Snyder. Higgins conﬁrmed he had gotten some Republican calls to leave the bipartisan coalition and run for chairman, but he politely declined. “I support Jim Snyder for chairman,” he explained. Keis, who met with Republican legislators a few weeks ago, reminded them the Republican Committee “was very, very, very upset. They do all the work passing petitions, putting up signs for them and supporting them ﬁnancially. They worked their asses off to get a supermajority. Then they end up with a Democrat in the leadership and chairman of the Finance Committee.” He emphasized the Republican Committee was not telling the legislators who to put in as vice chairman. “Just that it needs to be a Republican,” Keis added. The Republican chairman agreed the County

Legislature has been well run ﬁnancially for the past several years, including the past year with Labuhn as vice chairman and chairman of the Finance Committee. Is Keis conﬁdent that a Republican will again be the County Legislature vice chairman? “Republicans have come together as a group,” Keis said. If the bipartisan coalition isn’t dead after next week (the last County Legislature meeting was Dec. 19) some Republican Party committee members “will be extremely upset.” Of course, he added, “I can’t promise you anything until the votes are cast. I’m not dictating anything.” Keis called the bipartisan coalition “hogwash.” Talk of primaries for Republicans who supported the bipartisan coalition was an indication of how upset some Republicans were at the time, he said. Snyder and Vickman are term-limited, meaning at the end of next year they will have served 12 consecutive years — three four-year terms — and cannot serve again for at least two years. Only one Democrat, Minority Leader John Padlo of Olean, is term-limited next year. All 17 seats on the County Legislature will be up for election in November 2019. Labuhn said she will support Snyder’s bid for reelection as chairman. “I’m willing to stay on as vice chairman,” she said. ”If the votes aren’t there, they’re not there. That’s too bad, but it’s politics. I support what we did and I support Mr. Snyder.” Labuhn said, “We had a good transition this year and the budget process went very well.” As vice chairman, Labuhn served as Finance Committee chairman. As minority leader she previously

“I took on the minority leader’s post because I thought I could do a good job,” Labuhn said. “I know how to work with everyone involved.” Cattaraugus County Democratic Party Chairman Frank Puglisi of Lyndon said the Democratic Committee “fully supports Sue Labuhn for vice chairman. We think she’s done a phenomenal job. There should be no reason to change.” If Republicans keep Labuhn from the vice chairmanship, Puglisi said

he would support her for minority leader. The bipartisan coalition, Puglisi said, “has been working well. Things have been getting done in the county.” For Republicans to work for the party and their political gain “is unacceptable,” Puglisi said.”If you have to threaten your party’s legislators and attack them for doing what they thought was the best interest of the county — that’s unacceptable.”

Cattaraugus County leadership expected to change in 2019 By Rick Miller

There appear to be changes ahead for the Cattaraugus County Legislature bipartisan coalition leadership. After the death in January of chair Paula Stockman, a coalition of ﬁve Democrats and four Republicans elected Republican James J. Snyder of Olean chairman and Democrat Susan Labuhn of Salamanca vice chairman. The Republican caucus had been expected to elect Majority Leader Donna Vickman, R-Farmersville, to the chairman’s seat. The ﬁve Democrats instead struck a deal with four Republicans to elect Snyder chairman and Labuhn vice chairman. That stuck in the craw of some Republicans, who pushed Republican Party Chairman Robert Keis Sr., to turn up the heat on Republican legislators to support Republicans for leadership. Republicans control 12 of the 17 County Legislature seats. Keis sent a letter in recent months to Republican lawmakers cautioning them against continuing to support a Democrat, Labuhn, for vice chairman. The vice chairman is also chairman of the key Finance Committee. The changes expected in the leadership when the County Legislature convenes Jan. 2 at 4 p.m. are not good news for Labuhn. Sources indicated that Labuhn would be replaced as vice chairman by another member of the bipartisan coalition, Dan Hale, R-Portville. The news is good for Snyder, who will be serving his last year under term limits. The Olean Republican said he expects to be re-elected chairman in January.

If, as it appears, Labuhn is out as vice chairman next year, would she like to return to the minority leader’s post assumed by Padlo when she became vice chairman? “If someone else in our caucus can do as good or better” Labuhn said she would consider supporting another candidate. If she’s not going to be elected vice chairman, she would like to go back to being the minority leader, she said.

IN OTHER BUSINESS, the village board agreed to reduce the scope of a public arts project for Heritage Park after tabling the motion to accept a grant at the previous meeting. Although the village applied for $5,000 in funding for three sculptures, it received $1,720 in grant funding from the Arts Services Initiative. The grant would have covered less than 20 percent of the expected $10,000 project for three sculptures. Following a reduction in the grant funding it received, the village decided to only install one sculpture, expected to cost $3,250.

Santa Sheriff’s deliver Christmas gifts Making a bed for to less fortunate families those in need

Submitted photo

Press photo by Rick Miller Cattaraugus County Sheriff Timothy Whitcomb (right) and school resource ofﬁcers and others from the Sheriff’s Department loaded up their patrol cars with gifts for 35 families across the county Wednesday morning. Whitcomb helped establish the Santa Sheriff program here several years ago with cooperation from the Department of Social Services and Cattaraugus Community Action.

By Rick Miller Santa Sheriffs gathered last week to pack their patrol cars with bags of gifts for less fortunate families across Cattaraugus County. You could tell were the Santa Sheriffs because they wore red and white Santa hats in place of their uniformed hats. After nights of shopping and then wrapping presents for children and other family members, Sheriff Timothy Whitcomb, school resource ofﬁcers and others from the Sheriff’s Department checked their lists — twice — and started loading several patrol cars and a transport van. The gifts were wrapped by elves and stored at the former CattaraugusLittle Valley Elementary

School. Patrol cars lined the Thompson Street entrance to the old school awaiting the bags of gifts. The Santa Sheriff Program in Cattaraugus County started in 2004. Whitcomb was undersheriff at the time and helped start a cooperative program involving the Sheriff’s Department, Social Services and the Office of Children and Family Services. Whitcomb’s brother Dana was director of the OCFS facility in Limestone. Cattaraugus Community Action is now involved as well. “In the first year we helped five or six families,” Whitcomb said. “Since then, it’s taken on a life of its own.” School resource officers, Community Action and

Social Services help identify families in need of Christmas help. “The SROs help families in their school districts,” Whitcomb said. This year, according to Lt. Melanie Churakos, the Sheriff’s Department’s Stop DWI coordinator, Santa Sheriff will help 35 families. “The numbers go up and down depending on the number of family members and our donations,” she said. Churakos has been helping with the Santa Sheriff program for four years. This year she is cochairman with Kim Harrison of the Department of Social Services. After the families to help are selected, they are contacted as to needs and clothing sizes. If the items are among the toys and clothes that have been donated, the list is ﬁlled

from there. Otherwise, monetary donations are used to buy items locally. The shopping is done at Walmart, Payless Shoes and local grocery stores — Tops, Reid’s Food Barn and Service Stores. Then stores also make donations, Churakos said. “Everything is from Santa,” Churakos said. “We make sure everyone in the household gets a gift.” In addition to gifts for each family member, there is a separate gift of household supplies and personal care products. Each family will also receive a turkey or ham, Churakos said. “It’s an awesome feeling,” Churakos said. “We just made Christmas for these kids.”

handles or different colors. The cutlery made is sold through different agents, and go into every state in the United States as well into Canada. The workers in the plant are skilled in their various lines of work and command good pay for their service. Many of them work on a piecework basis. The building is 40 feet by 100 feet and is extended with a one-story section to the north with the same width and 75 feet in length. The handle making plant where the wood is worked up is separate structure one story in height and 100 feet long. Here, the wooden or celluloid handles are cut from the rough timber or slabs, shaped, punched and kiln-dried ready to be attached to the blade in the main building. It is interesting to learn that the cocobolo wood

from South America, also ebony and boxwood from the same tropical land, is much used in the making of the pretty grained handles so admired by the housewife. The cocobolo is of very ﬁrm texture, dark red, often with exquisite graining. Beech and black walnut grown locally are also used in the handles. It takes a great deal of grinding and polishing to bring the blades down to the almost mirror surface many of the knives have and to give them a sharp edge as well to delight the user. Wheel after wheel, with sandpaper of various grades of roughness, is used to gradually bring the blade to its beautiful luster. The tough hide of the walrus is utilized in this polishing. The leathery spongy substance, often an inch thick, is set on edge

on the polishing wheels, a foot-and-a-half in diameter, and soaked with emery dust of the necessary size for the part of the process which that particular wheel is to take. While most of the handles are riveted in place under heavy pressure, some of them are set in hot metal at a temperature of 900 degrees. The name of Springville is etched prettily into the shining blades of much of this cutlery and goes out abroad over the world to let the user know that here we have craftsmen who are proud of their workmanship and do not hesitate to let the user know where it came from. You can ﬁnd some pocketknives still that on the blade near where it attaches to the handle will be stamped “Case, Springville, New York.”

Erie Co. Comptroller Mychajliw presents 2019 budget to County Legislature

Last week, Erie County Comptroller Stefan I. Mychajliw Jr. presented his 2019 budget to the Erie County Legislature, detailing his priorities for the coming year. He also opined on the current sales tax ﬁgures and the need for legislators to start cutting government spending. “Erie County experienced a spike in sales tax revenue. This is great news, thanks to President Trump’s tax cuts,” said Comptroller Mychajliw. “Sales tax continues to grow, outperforming last year by more than 4 percent. With more money in their pockets, taxpayers are reinvesting that disposable income into our local economy. This is phenomenal news for the county budget and the municipalities that we share sales tax with. “We usually rely on Canadian shoppers to boost sales tax,” added Comptroller Mychajliw. “Unfortunately, international bridge trafﬁc has decreased. Thankfully, due to federal tax reforms, sales tax revenue is increasing despite the loss of Canadian shoppers.

Our economy is roaring again. Families have more money. They are spending it. As for those tax cuts, I applaud the federal government for taking tax revenue away from the politicians and putting it into the pockets of people that paid the bill in the ﬁrst place.” The Comptroller also warned that the increase in county spending remains a concern. Since 2012, government spending increased more than $177 million and families paid $42 million more in Erie County property taxes. Comptroller Mychajliw addressed out of control government spending at both the local and federal levels. “The politicians need to wake up and realize that government spending is out of control,” he said. “Hard-working families are struggling to make ends meet. Yet politicians continue to pick their pockets, making our region one of the highest taxed in the nation. Here in Erie County, families should have been given back that $177 million in the form of tax cuts. Look no further than the federal

A recent New York Times story shows interest payments alone on the federal debt will hit $915 billion in 10 years. “In just two years, interest payments on federal debt is projected be more than what is spent on Medicaid,” Comptroller Mychajliw. continued. “By 2023, interest payments on federal debt is believed to be more than what is spent on the Department of Defense. That is unconscionable. I have two

young children. A 13-yearold daughter and ninemonth-old son. When our baby boy is 11 years old, the federal government will spend more on interest payments on the debt than what is spent on the military and health care for seniors. It is clear the politicians at the county and federal levels need to go on a debt diet. In the end, taxpayers are the ones getting screwed.” With regard to his department budget, Comptroller Mychajliw

discussed plans to focus on the County-wide Risk Assessment Program to continue to ensure waste and fraud involving taxpayer dollars is stopped. “As Comptroller I lead by example,” he said. “My goal is always to efﬁciently utilize tax dollars to ensure that my ofﬁce delivers the services that taxpayers need. We have improved several processes and I am proud of the results we have produced. At the same

time, I am making sure our audit division remains focused on uncovering waste and fraud.” Earlier in 2018, the office launched a new online service to allow taxpayers to quickly search for surplus funds and begin the recovery process. The office also added an online enrollment form for the e-vendor Electronic Payments Program. Among the priorities for 2019 are reviewing the effectiveness of economic development incentives awarded to the Erie County Industrial Development Agency (ECIDA) and expanding the whistleblower hotline to assist county employees in reporting abuse, discrimination, sexual harassment and other complaints. “At the end of the day, it is my mission to protect taxpayers and hold the politicians accountable.

only so many a year,” he said. “When I’m out, I’m out, and I don’t cut anymore because then I’m hurting myself for the next year.” According to the National Christmas Tree Association, most people are buying real Christmas Trees. The organization which collects Christmas Tree sales data determined that around 27 million trees real trees were sold in 2017. That number is up 10-percent this year. Hill said the last two years have been the best for tree sales at his business. He said it’s been since the stock market has gone up and the economy has picked up. And, it isn’t just with his business; he thinks it’s with other

businesses, as well. “I think people have more money in their pocket right now, so they can do more things,” he said. “The other thing is, I hear people say things like, ‘I can’t stand looking at that plastic tree anymore,’ or, ‘You can’t decorate a piece of plastic.’ “The thing of it is, too, a real tree gives people a variety from year to year,” Hill continued. “We have eight different varieties of trees up here, so one year they can have a blue spruce, the next year they might have a Fraser ﬁr or something different.” Hill said he’s noticed a lot of younger people coming to his farm with their families and trying to make a family tradition out of

Continued from front page picking out and cutting their own tree together. He said it’s so much more meaningful than to go to a big box store and pick up a plastic tree. “When they come to our farm, I’ve got an old ‘52 8N Ford [tractor] that we hook onto one of the wagons to bring the trees out. If we’re not too busy, we’ll let people ride with us, so they get to experience bringing their tree back from the woods — just like in the old days,” he said. “We try to make it a nice experience for them. We have free hot chocolate and cookies in our barn. Mrs. Hill makes about a thousand Snickerdoodles.” Hill said they’ve been planting Christmas trees on his farm since

1982. When the trees grew large enough to sell, they opened up for their ﬁrst year, in 1991. They began selling trees from a small 8-by-12 foot shed to four barns on two farms — the main farm on Belscher Road and the second on Genesee Road. According to Hill, there are 18,000 trees on his two farms, and it takes anywhere from 8 to 10 years to grow a tree. He said it isn’t something he can put in the ground in the spring, like corn that grows the same season. “I’ve ordered 2,000 new trees to plant on two farms in the spring,” he said. “You gotta remember, we will lose 10- to 15-percent of the seedlings that we planted last spring to drought, excess water and

disease. Where that baby tree died, we will replant a second time.” People shopping for real Christmas trees have ﬁve tree farms in the Springville area to choose from, according to Hill. For a detailed listing of Western New York’s “choose-and-cut” Christmas tree farms, visit online at pickyourownchristmastree.org. Hill’s Christmas Tree Farm is a family-owned and operated “choose and cut” tree farm offering a variety of trees including Canaan Fir, Concolor Fir, Fraser Fir, Grand Fir, Blue Spruce and Black Hills Spruce. They also have an assortment of exotic trees. The farm is located at 13214 Belscher Road. For more information, call 592-5096.

Cattaraugus, Allegany land banks share over $1.1 million

By Rick Miller

LITTLE VALLEY — Land banks in Cattaraugus and Allegany counties were notified last week by the state Attorney General’s Office of new grants totaling more than $1.1 million. The Cattaraugus County Land Bank will receive $650,000 and Allegany County will get a $500,000 grant. The Cattaraugus County Land Bank is selling more homes to low to moderate income families and demolishing more blighted homes than initially planned, said Daniel Martonis, Cattaraugus County director of Real Property Tax Services and chairman of the Land Bank. Martonis said the Cattaraugus County Land Bank has partnered with Cattaraugus Community Action to help low and moderate income families buy and make improvements to homes the county has foreclosed on. He gave as an example a man with several children who bought a home from the Land Bank for $6,500. Since the individual qualified for Community Action programs, the agency was able to install

new windows and a new roof. Homes can also be winterized. “These are OK houses,” Martonis said. “Nothing that’s going to sell for $50,000. On the open market, they might bring from $30,000 to $40,000, but you’d have to put $30,000 to $40,000 more into it.” The Land Bank reviews the list of homes the county plans to foreclose on and makes a list of the homes that are too good to demolish, but not top tier candidates for the county auction. The Land Bank aims to help keep properties in foreclosure to landlords who do not plan to ﬁx them up before renting them out. In the past, some properties sold at auction ended up on the tax list a few years later. “We’ve got a lot of money left over from the grant,” Martonis said. The initial grant was for $1 million. “We’re looking at next year for houses that should be pulled from the auction to ﬁx up and sell or demolish.” Martonis said of the 30 properties that have been included in the Land Bank program, seven have been rehabbed and the rest are being

demolished this winter. “We have the option of selling a property ourselves,” he added. The Land Bank was formed to fight blight across the county. Since much of the housing stock is in Olean, much of the demolition has occurred or will occur in Olean. Besides Olean, other communities where the Land Bank is active include: Little Valley, Mansfield, Franklinville, Carrollton, Lyndon, Machias, Yorkshire, Ashford, Hinsdale and Napoli. After Community Action completes work on a home, the family has to live in the house and it can’t be resold for several years. “We can use it to help keep families in the county,” Martonis explained. “This is not for flipping properties.” Martonis said the Land Bank “needs people to go to the website and fill out an application. It shows all the properties — including ones we’ve bought and demolished. The website is www. cattlandbank.org. “We don’t want these properties to go through another

winter,” Martonis said.”That’s why we’re working with Community Action.” Martonis said a demolition can cost around $20,000 unless the home can’t be inspected for asbestos. If it cannot be checked, a whole home demolition process to contain all the debris and ship it to a special landﬁll can double the cost. “If a home was built after 1984, we don’t have to worry about asbestos,” Martonis said. It was outlawed in home construction after that date, he said. “We got the $1 million grant two years ago and we’re still working off that grant,” Martonis said. “There’s $100,000 for the Land Bank in the 2019 county budget and now we’ve got another $650,000. We can apply for more at the end of next year.” County lawmakers, he said, “have been fantastic.” Not only are they backing the Land Bank, they are suggesting properties the Land Bank may want to acquire and demolish or rehabilitate. “We see results already,” Martonis said. “Neighbors call to thank us for demolishing blighted properties.

demolished homes are offered for sale to neighbors.” The Land Bank has help from the Ofﬁce of Real Property Tax Services, the Public Works Department in the form of an engineer to assess the properties, Economic Development and the Treasurer’s Ofﬁce. “We’re not taking prime properties,” Martonis explained. “There are bad streets in communities where a little work could make it a nice street,” he said. By demolishing a house that can’t be rehabilitated and selling homes that can be rehabilitated will help clean up neighborhoods. “We want to clean up neighborhoods and get properties back on the tax rolls,” Martonis said. The Land Bank faces another problem with socalled “zombie homes,” ones owned by a bank which continues to pay property taxes as the homes deteriorate. “The banks don’t return our calls,” Martonis said. The Land Bank is looking to do an “end-run” around those banks and go directly to the state to force the banks to reply, he said.

Gowanda’s Historic Hollywood Theater marquee removed for restoration

MOVIE REVIEW

‘Mary Poppins Returns’ scores big with familiar nostalgia

By Rick Miller

There’s a void in the West Main Street streetscape in this village bisected by the Cattaraugus Creek. West Main Street in Gowanda has taken on a different look since the Historic Hollywood Theater marquee was gently removed for restoration earlier this month. Crews took more than three hours on Dec. 3 to remove the woodframed glass marquee from the facade of the theater that first opened April 16, 1926. The Hollywood was designed by Leon H. Lempert & Son, Rochester, the firm that designed four theaters that once stood in Olean. For 20 years, the Gowanda Area Redevelopment Corporation, comprised of scores of volunteers, has methodically restored the theater — one grant and fundraiser at a time. After being it was removed by a crane and gently loaded on a flatbed trailer, the marquee was taken to Signs Unlimited in Eden where it will be restored — with a digital upgrade — at a cost of nearly $200,000. The sign should be completely restored and ready to reinstall sometime in late March. “It will look the same,” said Debbie Harris, grant and project administrator for the restoration of the Hollywood. “It will be a little flashier with LED lights.” The marquee just can’t be too flashy, said Harris. Some of its capabilities won’t be used because they would violate the historic “restoration” protocols. Architect Nancy Redeye of Flynn Battaglia Architects of Buffalo is the lead architect. The letters on the high-resolution digital marquee will look just like the ones that had to be installed by someone using a ladder, she added. While the marquee hasn’t advertised movies since it closed in 1992, it has served as a community message board for everything from birthdays to local events. “People

in town use it so much they often plan their events around when it is available,” Harris said. More often than not, the person putting the signs up on the marquee was Mark Burr, president of the Gowanda Area Redevelopment Corporation, Harris said. Now that the iconic marquee has been removed, another crew will begin working on the exterior front of the Hollywood, Harris said. “They can work in 40 degree days,” she said. “It’s easier for them to do the work now rather than chance damaging the marquee once it’s reinstalled.” Over the winter, work will ramp up inside the theater, Harris said. There is still much plaster and painting work to be done. Brass rails have been removed and are being refurbished. Balcony seats are being restored, using as much original seating material as is available. Harris said the group was just notiﬁed last week of a New York State Council on the Arts grant to install a Bose surround sound system in the theater. The GARC also hopes to restore the theater’s organ. The original Wurlitzer Rank 6 organ was sold before the

group took over the theater. However, several years ago the New York State Museum put a 1923 Wurlitzer Rank 10 that came from a Schenectady theater up for bid. It was trucked from Albany to Gowanda in about 1,000 pieces. Burr, the GARC president, has been with the group since the beginning of the theater’s transformation from an abandoned, water-damaged building. “We’ve signed the last contract,” Burr said. He estimates the theater could be ready to open its doors to the public in as little as a year, while Harris thinks it could be anywhere from a year to 18 months. Burr said he gets great satisfaction in seeing the end of the tunnel for the two-decades-long project. Local youth will stage a theatrical summer camp next year that will “ﬁll the theater with high energy,” Burr said. “Once we get the theater done, there will be multiple theater and music camps.” Meanwhile, there is still some fundraising that remains to be done. The grants often require matching funds or don’t cover the entire cost of a project.

I’m not sure what it would have been like to see the original “Mary Poppins” in theaters in 1964, but I hope it was similar to my experience last weekend. Everything about this movie oozed classic Disney charm, from the musical score and songs to the fantastical whimsy nearly all the characters seemed to possess. There have been a few great musicals this year, but nothing could compare to the magic of “Mary Poppins Returns.” Of all the live-action cash grabs Disney has been making lately, a sequel to a musical from 50 years ago with no real merchandising opportunities or commercial tie-in doesn’t seem like the obvious choice for a holiday blockbuster.

lives. Blunt knocks it out of the park with her performance as the titular nanny. Between this and “A Quiet Place,” she is having one of the best years of her career. I can’t think of another actor who can play narcissistic and stern one minute and be full of joy and charism the next like Blunt can. While she’s no Julie Andrews, it’s a tremendous portrayal of the character. While the entire cast does a great job, the standout character of the film is the production itself. Even though the story takes place about 25 years after the original, London looks and feels like the same one audiences saw in 1964. The Cherry Tree Lane set, where the Banks home is located and several of the significant scenes happen in and around, is one of the most beautifully crafted stages in a Disney film. In addition to some “real” locations, the streets of London have a spiritual essence about them that is both dark and mysterious as well as magical and inspiring. Part of what makes all the magic believable is the old-school filming director Rob Marshall brings to the production. Previous hits “Chicago,” “Memoirs of a Geisha” and “Into the Woods” make Marshall the perfect director who knows how to make a period piece feel like the era it’s set in. Look no further than the opening credits sequence previewing the upcoming movie with gorgeous paintings of scenes from the story underscored with an overture previewing some of the songs, it’s all reminiscent of the original film. There’s even a scene where they jump into a hand-drawn animated world. Unfortunately, those aren’t the only thing that reminded me of the first film. You would have thought the executives and writers behind the sequel procrastinated until the last minute and then decided to just make it follow the same beats of the original with each scene in the same order. As each scene led into the next, I knew where they were going, what type of song we were going to hear, when the sad moments would seep in and so on, so nothing surprised me. And yet, at the end of an extremely long and tiring 2018, that’s exactly what I needed. Mary Poppins comes into our lives when we need her most, and I think a lot of people around the world need her right now. It doesn’t matter that it’s familiar and old-fashioned, because that means it’s fun, heartwarming and full of imagination. We could all use more of that today and every day, so why not do it with a Disney musical?

Nearly $1M from state’s Economic Development Council to aid local projects

By Bob Clark The state announced last week more than $763 million in funding through Round VIII of the Regional Economic Development Council initiative, with about $900,000 set aside for projects in Cattaraugus Counties. “By empowering the people who know their communities best, we have transformed the state's economic development strategy into one that is not only successful but is built to last," said Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul, chair of the Regional Economic Development Councils, who made the

morning announcement. “Together, we're restoring downtowns, supporting local businesses, and welcoming new residents and visitors. Through the REDC process, we're advancing the strategic economic development plans of each region and supporting growth as part of the Downtown and Upstate Revitalization Initiatives. With a focus on workforce development and growth of high-tech industries, we're adding new job opportunities and strengthening the economy of the entire State of New York.” The funds, which will come from various state

Alle-Catt Wind Farm Article 10 application submitted to NYS

Invenergy, the world’s leading privately-held developer and operator of sustainable energy solutions, announced Tuesday its Article 10 application for the AlleCatt Wind Farm had been submitted to the New York State Board on Electric Generation Siting and the Environment. Ofﬁcials said the application includes environmental and economic impact studies and analysis, and outlines how the wind project advances the state’s energy policy objectives “We are very pleased to have achieved this critical milestone in project

development,” said Valessa Souter-Kline, project manager for Invenergy. “We are conﬁdent in our Article 10 application and look forward to the state’s thorough and detailed public review as the next step in getting the project permitted.” According to the state Department of Public Services, Article 10 law provides for the review of major electric generating facilities by the Board on Electric Generation Siting and the Environment in a “uniﬁed proceeding” instead of requiring a developer or owner to apply for numerous state and local permits.

What is the water table, and how does it affect homes?

The groundwater table plays a role in home construction, foundation stability and home comfort. Because the groundwater table is so significant, it behooves homeowners to understand how it works. National Geographic defines a water table as the boundary between water-saturated ground and unsaturated ground. Well beneath the ground, at various depths depending on geography, topography and weather conditions, pockets of water, called aquifers, exist. The water table marks the boundary between that available water and the dry surface. Ground water is impacted by precipitation, irrigation and ground cover. It also may be affected by land use and tides. The water table can fluctuate with the seasons and from year to year because it is affected by climatic variations, as well as how much water may be drawn from underground, advises Encyclopedia Britannica. The water table where one person lives may be several inches or feet below the

surface of the ground and follow the topography of the land. For others, it may be much higher, even coming above the surface of the soil. The water table as well as local soil conditions and drainage can impact homes and their foundations. If soil drains efficiently and there is a relatively low water table, it may not be problematic. However, if soil is dense and absorbent and the water table is high, the ground around a home may swell and become saturated. This can exert significant pressure against the foundation walls, states Rytech, a water damage and mold rehabilitation company. In areas where a local water table rises near the surface, water can push against the underside of the foundation in a condition known as “hydrostatic pressure.” This may cause water to infiltrate through the bottom of the foundation — even permeating solid concrete over time. If hydrostatic pressure is severe, it could lift certain portions of the foundation out of the ground, but this is

very unlikely. But it could cause shifting of foundation walls and structures like fencing and decks. Even if ground water does not cause foundation cracking or shifting, it could lead to humidity issues, resulting in rust, bacteria and mold. Wood structures in a home may be compromised by a high level of humidity. The home improvement resource Angie’s List says certain steps may need to be taken to protect against damage from a water table and abundant ground water. Basement and foundation waterprooﬁng professionals can help homeowners develop a plan to mitigate water damage. This can include grading changes and the installation of drains and pumps to move water away from the house. Special paints and sealants also can protect the foundation. Ground water can be a hindrance when it affects the home, but homeowners who learn about it can be in a position to confront any ground water issues.

Snow may delight young children itching for a day off from school. But for many homeowners, the sight of snow means their time will soon be spent clearing paths and plowing driveways rather than building

snowmen and sledding with friends. The sight of falling snow also may inspire some homeowners to think about the roofs of their homes. The Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety warns that it is important to understand the risk of roof collapse due to the weight of snow on the roof. Roof structures that are in good condition can support roughly 20 pounds per square foot. IIBHS says this equates to around four feet of new snow before a roof will become stressed. Total snowfall is not the only factor to consider. Homeowners also must check the type of snow that has fallen. According to House Logic, six inches of wet snow is equal to the weight of about 38 inches of dry snow. That means it may take much less sodden snow to weigh down a roof. Roof condition and the shape of the roof bear consideration as well. Popular Mechanics says the ideal pitched roof is smooth and steep so that the snow slides off. Closely spaced rafters improve the strength of the roof. A ﬂat or slightly pitched roof may accumulate snow more readily. Homeowners are urged to inspect roof rafters to see if they are cracked from previous snowstorms or

damaged from insects or rot. Snapping or popping sounds while snow is on the roof is not a good sign. House Logic also says that homeowners can tell if the snow load on the roof is too much by paying attention to interior doors. If such doors begin to stick, that may be a signal that there’s enough weight on the center of the house to distort the door frames. Removing snow from a roof is not an easy job — and may be a task best left to professionals. The safest way to remove snow from the roof is to use a snow rake with an extension arm that enables users to push and pull off the snow while standing on the ground. One should not climb onto a snowy or icy roof to remove snow. Shovels, which can damage roof shingles, should never be used. IIBHS says that hiring a professional roof contractor is one way to safely remove snow from the roof. Licensed and insured contractors will have the experience to get the job done correctly and safely. Homeowners can expect to pay between $250 and $500 for this job. Roof snow removal is a priority for those who live in mountainous or extremely snowy areas. If unsafe amounts of snow are left on rooftops, leaks, damage and collapse may result.

Catt-LV girls basketball narrowly beats Gowanda, 39-36

By Bill Paglowski

On Dec. 14, the Gowanda Varsity Girls Basketball team hosted Cattaraugus-Little Valley in a narrow upset by the Timberwolves, 39-36. Gowanda won the opening tip-off and went straight down the court to score the ﬁrst 2 points of the game. They would not score again until the closing seconds in the period when a 3-point basket was registered. CattaraugusLittle Valley accumulated 9 points in the period. Gowanda opened the

scoring again in the second period. With a very strong effort, the Lady Panthers managed to close the gap to 2 points. Halftime saw the Lady Timberwolves holding a slim 14-12 lead. Once again in the third quarter, Gowanda would be the ﬁrst to score. This time, however, it took 3 minutes and 13 seconds before that would happen. After tieing the score at 14, the Lady Panthers would struggle as they watched the Lady Timberwolves move out to an 29-18 lead by the end of the quarter.

With a pair of successful foul shots, the Lady Panther again struck first in the final period. Gowanda would continue to battle back into the game. Outscoring the Lady Timberwolves 11-2 by the 4:53 mark, they had pulled to within 2 points of the lead. From that point, the scoring went back and forth with the CattaraugusLittle Valley lead shifting between 2 and 3 points. Gowanda was unable to capitalize on several chances to pull into a tie through the final 2 minutes of the game.

Springville girls win fourth straight headed into holiday tourney

The Springville-Griffith Institute varsity girls basketball team remained undefeated in league play after a win over JFK, 61-18, on Thursday, Dec. 20. The girls' tenacious defense led to a number of steals which shook the JFK attack throughout the evening, coach Bob Gainey noted, led by Kelsey Zabawa “flying all over the floor getting steals and finding teammates in the open court.” Grace Zabawa, meanwhile, “was aggressive at the top of the zone,” forcing JFK into to steals for her teammates. Meg Rehrauer led the offense this night,

contributing a game-high 16 points to go along with her suffocating perimeter defense. Other scorers on the night included: Kelsey Zabawa (11 points), Kenz Owens (9), Bella Oakley (9), Ivette Lewandowski (8), Grace Zabawa (4) and Rachel O'Neal along with Nyah Solly at two points each. The girls are now 5-1 overall and an undefeated 4-0 in league play (ECIC Div. IV). The team returns to action on Wednesday, Dec. 26, playing host to Middle Early College during the Emerling Holiday Tournament.

SGI students bring joy to nursing home residents through holiday song

Photo by Alex Simmons Chorus, band and orchestra members at Springville-Grifﬁth Institute High School spent a morning last week bringing holiday cheer to residents of the Jennie B. Richmond Nursing Home with a Christmas concert of carols.

By Alex Simmons As Christmas Day crept to less than a week away, a group of students last week decided to bring holiday joy to some people who could use it most. On the morning of Dec. 19, those students from Springville-Grifﬁth Institute High School made a trip to the Jennie B. Richmond Nursing Home to perform a concert of carols for the residents. The concert consisted of high school chorus, band and orchestra members who performed many traditional holiday favorites, such as “Deck the Halls,” “Joy to the World” and “Silent Night.” Each nursing home

resident who attended the concert received a pamphlet with lyrics to the carols. Some sang along or tapped their foot to the beat. Claire Mariea, a senior at SGI, said she loved hearing from the women who brought the carolers in that she hadn’t seen some of the residents out of their rooms in weeks and saw some of them were even singing along. “I think it’s so amazing how much something that seems so simple and easy for us can completely impact others,” Claire added. The music teachers chose only about 30 students from the high school to perform at the nursing

home. “Caroling at the nursing home was such a great way to start my last day before winter break with some of my closest friends from school,” said Abby Stressinger, also a senior at SGI. The holiday spirit was spread to the students as well, doing something nice for others’ happiness can spread a joy felt by all. “It’s the little things that count throughout the holiday season,” Abby added. “And sharing some Christmas spirit brought me so much happiness and I hope gave the residents some too.” Just the smallest bit of holiday joy can bring a smile to anyone’s face.
