Seniors Enjoy Lunch, Conversation at Concord Senior Center

Feb. 19-23 Mid-Winter Recess

By Rich Place

“Come and get it!”

Kathy Lipka’s call to let those at the Concord Senior Center know lunch was ready was pretty much spot on — right at noon as advertised.

More than a dozen seniors had gathered — many of them fresh off an exercise class — because of the hot, fresh meal offered, but most took time first to finish conversations they were in with others around the tables before coming up and getting their plate.

“We need a dinner bell,” joked Lipka, one of three paid staff members with the program. The others — program manager Nancy James and staff member Sue Borst — are aided by a small handful of volunteers.

on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at the Concord Senior Center, located just off Waverly Street on Commerce Drive.

The program gives seniors the opportunity to eat a fresh meal but also, and perhaps

just as importantly, a way to meet and interact with friends and neighbors.

“You meet so many wonderful people,” said Lipka, who struck up brief conversations with nearly every senior who walked

up to the counter last Thursday for their plate of chili, a serving of California vegetable blend and a piece of cornbread.

“Here a few years ago there were three or four that

distilleries, tanneries, merchants, and traders, wagon makers, harness makers, our early solider records, and some of their stories, the first Liberty pole and the early newspapers.

A Look Back

Erasmus Briggs and the History of Concord

By Jolene Hawkins

Have you ever wonder how the information for researching was obtained, or how it was collected back in the “good ole days”? Erasmus Briggs had an idea—one that took him almost four years to finish—creating the book called History of the Original Town of Concord.

Briggs felt that all former attempts of the historians to portray the early times and scenes were lacking in details and did not portray the brave pioneers of these towns, or share their selfsacrificing labors.

He collected information for the Town of Concord, and other surrounding towns from social groups

Emerling 195 West Main Street, Springville, NY (716)592-2881 www.emerlingcdjr.com

like the Order of the Odd Fellows, Free and Accepted Masons, Royal Arch Masons, Independent Order of the Red Men, Knights of the Maccabees, Grand Army of the Republic, Women Relief Corps , Ladies of the Macabees, Rebekah Lodge, Springville Club, Red Cross, just to name a few. Information also came from churches like the Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, Free Baptist, and Universalist Church. He gave the history of the Holland Land Company and who purchased the land in this area, to how the farmers and people lived and survived in the wild area now known as Concord, East Concord, Collins,

North Collins, Gowanda, Boston, and Sardinia.

Briggs gave us the history of the schools from back in 1833, and you can follow the articles that are in the newspapers that can be found at the Lucy Bensley Center, as the Griffith Institute wrote weekly articles telling us what was going on, upcoming events, programs and grades that the students made.

He also included in the book the history of The Springville and Sardinia Railroad that was organized in 1878. Because of him, we know of the hotels, many of the mills, who ran them, and where they were, as well as the Woolen Factory, carding and cloth dressings,

LOCAL News Letter from the Editor This weekend, the Springville Chamber of Commerce is holding their annual awards, in which several local people and businesses will be honored for their achievements and contributions to our community.

The Springville Times is proud to be sponsoring the Student of the Year award, this year going to MacKenzie Engel. We strive to support the SGI community and are always looking for ways to promote the talented students and faculty that call SGI home.

Hope to see you there!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THESE AND ALL OF THE SPRINGVILLE CHAMBER AWARD RECIPIENTS

Student of the Year MacKenzie Engel

Sponsored by the Springville Times

By Alicia Dziak

The Springville Chamber of Commerce will be holding their annual awards ceremony this Saturday, Feb. 3. Among the honorees is SGI senior, MacKenzie Engel, being recognized as Springville Times’ Student of the Year.

“I believe I was nominated and awarded the Chamber’s Student of the Year Award because of my dedication to my school and community.

I am involved in many athletic teams and clubs, and I work hard for my grades,” said MacKenzie.

“The time and effort I have put into improving our school has been recognized by my peers, teachers, and community.”

MacKenzie was nominated by SGI business teacher and Village trustee Nils Wikman, who wrote, “As a student, MacKenzie has proven to be a motivated and dedicated individual who consistently perseveres in her daily workload.” Wikman also noted MacKenzie’s involvement in her school and community as reasons for the nomination.

“She is very committed to making SGI a better place for students, faculty, and staff,” he said in the nomination, referencing two special creative projects she has been involved in— painting a school hallway and designing the new Springville Village seal. “It is very refreshing to see a young woman who has the respect for the history of our community and the desire to preserve it in her own, small way.”

MacKenzie said her biggest school-related accomplishment during her high school tenure was planning, designing, and painting a large portion of the senior hallway at SGI. “This painting will be a part of our school for years to come, and will enable students to ‘Leave Your Mark’. This hallway will collect signatures of future graduating classes,” she explained.

Outside of school, MacKenzie, whose family owns Shamel Milling in East Concord, is very involved in 4H. “My proudest extracurricular achievements would definitely be when I was

awarded Best Overall in Fine Arts in the Erie County 4H program two years in a row, and being able to mentor younger kids in the 4H Livestock Program,” she said. “Helping kids learn more about showing their livestock animals at the fair, and about the agriculture industry is how I spend most of my extra time. Seeing the kids excel in shows and competitions is the most rewarding aspect of what I do outside of school.”

MacKenzie is very involved in many other activities, from basketball and track, to Yearbook Club, but her passion is art, and the art classes she’s taken during her time at SGI have been her favorite. “I take several different art courses, and each one has taught me all different things,” she said. “My art classes have taught me not only how to draw, paint, and sculpt, but life lessons that go beyond the classroom. Art has inspired me to be the person I’ve always wanted to be— strong, passionate, and content.”

Because of this passion, MacKenzie plans to continue on this path after high school. “Once I graduate high school with my advanced Regents diploma, I plan on attending college to become an art teacher,” she said. “I have not yet selected a college, but I have been accepted to many. I have always wanted to pursue a career in Art Education, to pass on the same knowledge and life lessons my amazing teachers have given me.”

MacKenzie reflects on her time spent at SGI. “The most valuable lesson I have gained at SGI would to be valuing everyone’s opinions, and listening to others’ perspectives. This is what will teach you the most, and keeping an open mind in all situations is key,” she said.

“I think MacKenzie is one of many kids in our community that are hard working, respectful, active in the community, with

many accolades to their credit,” said MacKenzie’s mom, Deb Engel. “I think MacKenzie was lucky to have one of our community leaders recognize her achievements and bring her successes and spirit to the attention of the Chamber. I’m very proud of all the accomplishments MacKenzie has achieved, big and small. I think that MacKenzie has a maturity beyond her years. This maturity has helped her find a solid footing as a student with balancing her efforts in school, community and family. She hasn’t had an easy road at times, but she has always shown a great deal of respect for herself and others along the way. I think her senior year she has blossomed into a beautiful young woman that I am so very proud of and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for her.”

MacKenzie offers this advice to younger students: “My advice to any student just entering high school would have to be this quote, taken from my favorite book, The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls.

She writes ‘You can’t cling to the side your whole life.

If you don’t want to sink, you better figure out how to swim.’ When you enter high school, don’t procrastinate, and treat others poorly. Be the best student, classmate, and friend you can be. Go beyond your comfort level and get involved in sports, clubs, and volunteer in your community. Springville offers so many great opportunities that just have to be discovered by students, like you.”

Citizen of the Year Kara Kane

By Rich Place

From her full-time job at Bertrand Chaffee Hospital (BCH) to her handful of volunteer efforts — most notably co-founding the 4,000-member strong Be Neighborly Springville Area (BNSA) group on Facebook — Kara Kane is certainly no stranger to Springville.

And that “be neighborly” attitude she practices daily was noticed by the Springville Area Chamber of Commerce, which this weekend will honor her with the Citizen of the Year distinction at its annual awards. Kane’s nomination was based on her involvement and enthusiasm for projects that improve our community, including her role on the team that secured a major state grant award for BCH, one of the area’s largest employers.

“Wherever you live, I feel you have a responsibility to feel that it’s good for you, it’s good for your family and, by extension, your neighbors,” Kane said during a recent interview. “I feel that and although I understand it’s not for everybody, everyone benefits when you do something good for someone else.”

Originally from central New York, Kane has lived in the area for about 10 years and has since become immersed in all things Springville. Beyond her day job, she actively monitors the BNSA and Buy Nothing Project Springville/Arcade/ Gowanda Facebook pages, belongs to the boards at the chamber, library and Healthy Community Alliance, participates in the Springville Regional Services Coalition, maintains several local Little Free Libraries, is a member of the Springville Elementary School PTA and was a member of the school board.

There’s only so much time in a day, though, right?

“I looked at Green Springville, for example, when they started up late last year and seriously I don’t have time,” she admitted. “But if it’s going to a meeting and getting a couple things to work on outside of the meetings, I’m able to find time.”

In the volunteer realm, there’s perhaps nothing Kane does that impacts more people daily than the

BNSA Facebook group, which she admitted is one of her proudest accomplishments.

Since its founding in 2015, the group has amassed more than 4,200 members that have some kind of connection to Springville — a resident, a business owner, a former resident or someone perhaps looking to move back. It’s an online community that shares positive thoughts on local news topics, business recommendations, upcoming events, weather updates, photographs and more.

“To see every week it’s doing everything from helping people find an apartment or a job to finding a lost set of keys is just cool,” she said. “There’s nothing else like it in Springville.”

The group, which started as an offshoot to a local Buy Nothing Project page, now has five administrators, including Kane, who help keep the forum positive, clean and productive. Kane said she usually checks in on the group over breakfast and then surfs it during the evening.

“A lot of the administration of the site is just quickly reading through and making sure no one is being mean to anybody else,” she said, adding she also uses the site for the same reasons others do: to find out about upcoming events, networking and interacting with the community.

A graduate of Le Moyne College in Syracuse with a master’s degree from University at Buffalo, Kane had communicationsbased positions at Hamilton College, Medaille College and Buffalo-based Computer Task Group (CTG) before arriving at Bertrand Chaffee Hospital as its community relations and development coordinator in 2014.

There, she carries out that common theme prevalent in so many facets of her life: improving relationships, this time between the hospital and the Springville community, and developing projects to, in a nutshell,

make the hospital a better place.

“It’s really my dream job – and you can quote me on that,” she said. “It’s a little bit of everything — I work on marketing here, communications, writing grants, doing fundraising and doing events.”

Plus, she can attend meetings like those at the chamber or the regional services coalition as a representative of the hospital but also as an interested citizen committed to improving the area.

After working at CTG in Buffalo and enduring the commute from the Springville area, Kane said her 10-minute commute and being “90 seconds” from her kids’ school are among the best benefits of her job at the hospital.

“Plus, I see people I work with out and about in town — that’s the best part about it,” she said. “And knowing I’m working in a place I use, a place my neighbors use.

That’s great.”

Kane credits her family as one of the reasons she’s able to be so active. She lives in Glenwood with her husband, Jeremiah, her children, her mother-in-law and two dogs.

“Just as other people have hobbies like four-wheeling or going to concerts, I think my hobbies gravitate toward community effort,” she said.

“We have so many things like festivals where the community comes together and volunteers and puts on activities and events.

You don’t see that every place and that really makes Springville special.

“It’s also benefiting my kids,” she added. “They are in an area where there is always something going on.

Why wouldn’t I help with that?”

Frank has recently been announced as one of Springville’s “4 under Forty” from the Springville Chamber of Commerce for her efforts within the community, further solidifying her resolve to continue to make this business run smoothly in Springville for another 20+ years. She said, “I love this Town and Village; we raise our family here and to have a family business here too is just amazing!”

Frank explained that they wanted to find a way to celebrate their 20th anniversary in Springville and share the celebration with the community.

“We’ve decided to replicate a giveaway that was done

by Rose and her husband, Terry, in Holland back in the early 90s during the Holland Tulip Festival,” Frank said. This year for

The Dairy Festival, Metro Kirsch Real Estate will be having a drawing for a wooden playhouse. The playhouse will be displayed on a float during the parade, entry forms will be handed out and available during the festival, and a winner will be announced at the end of the event.

“To the people that have utilized our services in the past, THANK YOU for supporting our family business!” Frank said. “To the people we have yet to help obtain the dream of home ownership, we are here and will continue to be here, whenever you are ready! Remember, working with a local company not only gives you expert representation on your home, it gives you agents that live and work in the area. That means something!”

In 2010, another opportunity presented itself when the building at 40 East Main Street became available. Seeing the potential in that space for their business to move to, the property was purchased that fall and Metro Kirsch moved in.

Now, the business is run by the mother-daughter duo with the plan that eventually Melissa will fully take on the business. “I’m in no hurry to fully run everything but when Cindy is ready to hand over the day to day duties, I’m up for it!” said Melissa Frank, adding, “Cindy will probably never stop selling real estate so to her loyal clients: past, present and future….. no worries!”

“Springville has brought many successes to our business and we are grateful for our community, our clients and most importantly, our agents,” said owner Cindy Bramer.

They currently have 10 licensed salespeople in addition to Cindy and Melissa, and all have been past Metro Award winners for their sales. “Our agents are exceptional in what they do! They are go-getters, they follow through on their deals till closing and they always do what they can do to get the job done,” Bramer said.

Metro Kirsch Real Estate is excited to announce that they are celebrating their 20th anniversary of their Springville office in 2018!

Metro Kirsch, formerly Metro Rose Kirsch Realty, was started by Rose Kirsch over 50 years ago with a small home office on Hunters Creek Road in Holland, NY. The business continued to grow and in 1985, Rose’s daughter, Cindy Bramer, obtained her Real Estate license and started working alongside her mother.

Over the years, Rose expanded with different locations throughout WNY in Holland, East Aurora and Hamburg and Marilla.

In 1997, Cindy approached Rose with the idea to open an office in Springville, where Cindy lived with her family. She really saw potential in Springville for a new office to open and there was a great space available at 20 East Main, between Bob’s News and The Leland House. No convincing was needed; Rose immediately agreed and in 1998, their new location opened for business.

Cindy’s daughter, Melissa, decided to follow in her mother’s and grandmother’s shoes. In 2004, she obtained her Real Estate license and started working the family business.

In 2008, Rose retired from Real Estate and

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT Fresh Smart Cafe Offers Healthy Food Options at Springville Health & Fitness, Fresh Floral and Gifts

By Rich Place

A relatively new way to grab-and-go nutritious and delicious meals has made its way into two downtown Springville businesses.

Fresh Smart Cafe, led by chef Erin Horton, can now be found inside Springville Health & Fitness, located at 243 West Main St. next to Papa Jake’s, and at Fresh Floral and Gifts at 27 East Main Street.

From the favorite trail run salad, which Horton said she can’t make enough of, to the chicken wrap, the products are prepared ready to eat, allowing customers short on time to walk into the local businesses and grab-and-go.

“It’s nice to have some stuff here for the folks who work in the village — a

quick run down the road to pick something up,” Horton said. “It puts something into the stores that adds an element of convenience for customers.”

A lifelong foodie, Horton also owns and operates Edible Crush Catering, which caters events both locally and in the Buffalo area. In fact, she’ll be catering the Springville Area Chamber of Commerce Awards Dinner held this weekend.

And she balances that with Fresh Smart Café, which requires her to develop the menus, prepare and package the food and deliver it to the host businesses, which also includes a third location at Nature’s Remedy in Ellicottville.

The California raw veggie wrap with avocado spread is one of the healthy options recently on the menu and available to grab-and-go and Springville Health & Fitness and Fresh Floral and Gifts. Submitted photo.

“I alternate days,” she said while preparing a tray of bacon and a container of kale from her commercial kitchen on East Main Street in Springville. “I will come down generally on Monday and I’ll spend the day prepping and cooking. On Tuesday, we’ll package and deliver.

“On Wednesday, depending on how it needs to go, I’m (also) out delivering to the community.

We have systems in place to communicate inventory levels and rotation of food.

Based on that, I prepare, deliver and make sure everything is full and fresh.”

The idea started in cooperation with Spring Creek Athletic Club late last spring before Horton just this month moved the café to Springville Health and Fitness. She also added the menu this month at Fresh Floral and Gifts.

Previously working out of Buffalo until mid-summer, Horton now lives and works right in Springville. She is a 2000 graduate of Culinary Institute of America (CIA) and welcomed the opportunity recently to be more independent by operating these two similar food businesses.

“All I know is food, that’s all I’ve ever done,” she said. “I love people. I love making people happy and food makes people happy.

percent of the time people are happy to see you.

“It’s what I love; I love to play with food,” she added.

“Some people love to play with graphics, some people love to play with fabric and material; food is my medium and the only one I know and I love it.”

And when it comes to food, Horton is dedicated to making it not only healthy, but also tasty. As she spoke during an interview last week, she took a handful of kale out of a container on the counter.

“Do you like kale?” she asked about the arguably unpopular vegetable. “I make a cilantro vinaigrette and I drizzle it on there and

it marinates the kale pretty quick. That actually tastes really good and it’s healthy for you. I guess that’s my main goal.

“I like to make things healthy, fresh and delicious and you could surprise yourself if you try something you don’t normally try.”

She said she uses whole grain, healthy breads and usually lean meats like chicken and turkey breast. And she uses lots of vegetables, often complemented with a healthy dressing.

“I make the sauces, which I think make them stand apart from the rest,” she said. “I use mostly nonfat

Greek yogurt to make a mock mayo, so it’s a lot healthier that way.”

The dressings and marinades are all glutenfree, she said, and she has gluten-free options as long as orders are made in advance. Menus at the location change based on demand and consumer preferences.

Grab-and-go items at both Springville Health and Fitness and Fresh Floral and Gifts are available during business hours at each location. For additional information, visit facebook. com/freshsmartcafe.

Winter SPORTS A HEALTHIER 2018 YOU

Exercise Concerts Methods Holiday

By Carlee Frank

We are officially into the second month of the New Year.

February is the month of love, with Valentine’s Day just around the corner; it also contains National Freedom Day, Groundhog Day and even National Nutella Day –but you know what else? February is going to be the month that you commit to a healthy lifestyle! We’re eating healthier, exercising our bodies, stretching and learning mindfulness. Step by step, your body will start craving nutritious foods, it will itch to feel the burn of a good workout and your joints will be looser. Stay dedicated— we’re in this together!

We’ve already figured out how to make time for exercise, so now we must decide which form of exercise fits you best. Since the 1950s, the exercise movement has birthed numerous methods, such as Jazzercise, speed-walking and trampoline training. Nowadays, we see HIIT, CrossFit, weight-training, yoga, Pilates and more marathons and 5ks than I can count.

First, it is important to remember that everyone’s body is different. Some people love running, and others get shin splints one mile in; some are built to lift weights and others prefer yoga. No matter your preference, don’t feel discouraged and don’t compare yourself to others – this is your fitness journey, and it is wonderful!

Now, onto high-intensity interval training (HIIT).

HIIT is bursts of high-intensity cardio with quick rest periods in between. For example, one minute of mountain climbers and 15 seconds of rest, followed immediately by one minute of squat jumps and 15 seconds of rest, and so on. Time magazine said, “a few minutes of HIIT seem to be as effective as much longer periods of moderate-paced running, cycling, swimming or other forms of traditional cardio.” It is a quick way to elevate your heart rate, improve aerobic capacity and burn fat.

Weight-training, on the other hand, is not meant to induce a cardio burn, but instead uses weights to improve muscle tone and overall physique. The Mayo clinic said, “Weight provides a stress to the muscles that causes them to adapt and get stronger.” So, if your goal is to increase your strength or improve muscle tone, weight-training is for you. However, I would advise that you start slow, ask for guidance and make sure you use proper form. Lifting heavy weights can lead to serious injury, therefore, proper form –such as aligned hips, tight core and correct foot placement –is vital.

Pilates, originally called Body Contrology, was developed by Joseph H. Pilates in the early 1900s.

Pilates is a total body conditioning exercise method combining flexibility and strength from both Eastern and Western cultures (Fitour). I am a certified Pilates instructor and I often say that Pilates is yoga in motion.

It utilizes positions that require flexibility and or strength to maintain, and then adds sets and repetition.

Participants may hold a plank and add leg raises, or complete a shoulder bridge and add pulses. Pilates can target specific muscle groups, teach total body awareness, improve breathing and cardiovascular health, and lead to better muscle tone.

Last, but not least, is running. A study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that, “even five to 10 minutes a day of low-intensity running is enough to extend life by several years, compared with not running at (Harvard Medical School).” Running can dramatically decrease your risk of cardiovascular disease, burn fat, boost cartilage and even improve mood. Most importantly, anyone can run –no matter their age. In fact, Joy Johnson ran the 2016 NYC Marathon at 84 years old.

There are many more forms of exercise, so I urge you to experiment, research and talk to friends until you find your perfect match. Everyone is different, but everyone should move their bodies to stay healthy. If you have any questions or need further inspiration, email me at CjFitness1001@gmail.com.

Next week, we will discuss the importance of hydration and explore hacks to help you drink enough water.

Curling is played on ice with team members delivering a 19.96 kg (44 lbs.) stone to a circular target area called the house.

Competitors aim to get the stone closer to the center of the house than any stone of the opposing team. Athletes in this event wear special curling shoes with different soles. One has a slippery sole, worn on the sliding foot, and the other is made from rubber to provide traction.

Each curling game consists of 10 “ends.”

During each end, each player steers two stones (for a total of eight per team) toward the house, alternating with the opposing team. Team members not physically pushing the stone use brooms to sweep the ice surface in front of the stone to reduce friction.

The score is determined once all 16 stones have been delivered to the house. In case of a tie at the conclusion of 10 ends, extra ends are played until one team wins.

Curling events run daily throughout the games, with medals being awarded on Feb. 13, Feb. 23, 24 and 25.

A Look Back Ski with us this weekend!

Mother Nature is back on our side to bring in February. Snow keeps falling and so are the temperatures. Snowmaking around the clock is happening as the temperatures permit. We are looking forward to starting February off with a great winter weekend. We will have South, Central and North open beginning Saturday morning with great conditions. Don’t forget about another Late Night Great Night this Friday, Feb. 2! $10 presale tickets available at The Ski Company Buffalo. Be sure to join us Sunday for Family Night and the Superbowl. After 1:45, the purchase of an adult night ticket all juniors 13 and under ski free. The Superbowl game will be playing in Willie’s and Lake Effect Saloon. See you on the slopes!

in town. (He approached residents and charged them a fee to be put into the book— the more you paid , the more information he put in, but because of that, we have some priceless information and a great starting point in genealogy.)

But what about the man himself? Erasmus Briggs was born on Aug. 13, 1818 on Townsend Hill in Concord. He never married, but held many jobs, such as school teacher, carpenter, school superintendent, justice of the peace and supervisor.

Continued from front page

He traveled across the countryside, collecting information for the book and it was published in 1883. In 1983, when the copyright had expired, June Zintz of the Western New York Genealogy Society took the time to do an “every name index”; the Society republished the book, and had it for sale for $59— a lot more than the few dollars it was offered for back in 1883.

Erasmus Briggs did all this for his community which he loved, and yet when he died, at the age

of 73 in 1892, he had no money and was in the Erie County Almshouse. He was transported back to Springville by the Railroad that he had written the history about and buried in the Fairview cemetery, one of the first cemeteries of Concord, where a lot of the people and founding fathers for our area, and whose names are in his book, are buried. Briggs was in an unmarked grave until years later, when the Concord Historical society placed a marker there for him. (He is located at on the back row right off of Middle Road.)

Celebrate Winter: Super Indoor Projects and Snacks

By Mary Heyl When the weather is too cold to set foot outdoors or even too warm to do anything but slosh around in the mud, sometimes the best way to spend the weekend is inside! While you may not be able to go outside to make a snowman, there are several ways to make one without snow. Read on for snowless snowman ideas, along with a delicious recipe to try out for next weekend’s Super Bowl party!

The No-Sew Sock Snowman is a cute addition to the windowsill and, depending on how large the sock, can make a great doorstop, too! Everyone has fallen victim to the dreaded missing sock phenomenon, but now those sock orphans will come in handy. Start by filling one white sock with rice (plan on using a couple of bags if you want to make more than one snowman).

Once you are satisfied with the size of your snowman, tie off the top with one or two rubber bands.

Next, take another rubber band and wrap it around the middle of the sock, closer to the top, to form the head.

Make sure to squish the rice around so that both the head and the body are the right proportions. Use craft glue or a hot glue gun to attach buttons or mini pompoms to the body of the snowman. Use markers to draw the face and glue

two mini orange pompoms to each other and attach for the nose. Braid a scarf with yarn or make a scarf using ribbon and glue it around the snowman’s neck.

Now, cut the excess white sock off the top of the snowman’s head. Cut off the foot of the colored sock (right after the heel or somewhere in the middle of the foot) and put it on the snowman’s head for his hat.

Roll up the brim and secure with glue, if you like! Get creative and try different sock sizes, patterns, and colors for a whole family of Sock Snowmen.

You can even make a snowman right in the comfort of your own kitchen with this easy peanut butter playdough recipe. To make, combine one cup of creamy peanut butter with 2 cups of powdered sugar and ¼ to ½ cup of honey (just enough to make the dough stick together) with an electric mixer. Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to a week for maximum freshness.

Roll the dough into small balls to form a snowman.

Experiment by using chocolate chips or chocolate candies for the buttons.

Toothpicks or mini pretzel sticks make great arms.

Why not give the snowman (or woman!) some hair by squeezing the dough through a garlic press? The possibilities are endless and

the clean-up process will likely be very easy and fast, as this dough is too tasty to throw away.

As long as the family is having a great time in the kitchen, enlist their help in making tasty no-bake football cereal cookies.

Place six semi-sweet chocolate baking squares, ½ cup of light corn syrup and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large microwave-safe bowl.

Microwave on high for 2 ½ minutes, stirring after 1 minute. Blend in ½ teaspoon of vanilla.

Next, add 4 cups of cocoa rice cereal to the bowl and mix well. Cool for 10 minutes. Shape the cereal mixture into about 18 (3-inch long) footballs with your hands (make sure hands are moistened with water or vegetable oil). Place the footballs on a wax-paper lined cookie sheet and allow them to cool completely. Use decorator’s gel to add laces and let the gel dry. Eat and enjoy!

Dance Now at the SCA

Instructor Liz Bligh will explore the basics of various dance forms, including Ballet, Jazz and Modern dance. Each hour long session will incorporate 45-50 minutes of instruction with 10-15 minutes of free dance at the end.

Bligh started going to dance class when she was 3 years old. She continued all the way through high school, taking various classes including: ballet, jazz, tap, modern, hip-hop, and ballroom. Her love for and interest in dance continued as she got older. While at SUNY Fredonia, she went on a study abroad trip to Ghana, West Africa, entitled Ghana: Cultural Rhythms.

On this trip, she took daily drumming and dancing lessons. With her history in dance, she learned the routines quickly and with ease.

Looking forward to this new class, Bligh shares, “It is amazing that people all over the world are dancing and enjoying the benefits of dance. Dance is great for socialization, exercise, flexibility and balance, memory, spatial awareness, and teamwork. I would encourage everyone to get up and Dance Now!” “Dance Now” will be held at Arts Underground, 66 East Main Street, Springville, NY 14141.

Travel WNY: Kazoo Factory and Gift Shop

By Jennifer Weber

Last weekend, a friend and I set out on a quick afternoon escape from the WNY January Winter doldrums and headed to the Kazoo Boutique Gift Shop, located at 703 South Main Street in Eden. It’s a place we’ve all heard about, right?

And perhaps once upon a time visited a decade or two ago. But for me, it was one of those cross off the quirky WNY bucket list places I needed to check out and what better time than right before National Kazoo Day? Yes, there’s a holiday for everything. The National Kazoo Day website states that the holiday is celebrated “on or about Jan. 28 - or whenever it is convenient to the kazooist.” National Kazoo Day was founded in 1983 “to celebrate the humble kazoo and all the infectious joy it brings to people of all ages.”

One doesn’t need a lot of time to spend at the Kazoo Museum to enjoy the historical goodness found

within. Upon entering the building we were greeted by an adorable selection of curated gift shop items that spans through several rooms. Even if you aren’t a kazoo fan, the gift shop is worth a visit to grab a perfect unique present for that last minute event.

The historic kazoo museum and factory is found in the back of the building and highlights the step-by-step way metal kazoos are made alongside snippets of trivia and random factoids and displays of one-of-a-kind specialty kazoos.

Did You Know?

• The very first kazoo was invented in Macon, Georgia in the 1840s.

• Emil Sorg brought the buzzy little instrument to Western New York and created the Original American Kazoo Company in 1916, which began the commercial production of metal kazoos, the only metal kazoo factory in North America, right here in Eden.

The Mammals Perform at SCA Feb. 9

Ham Radio Test Feb. 7

SPRINGVILLE — The combined teams of CCARET and PROS will conduct a free all level ham radio test session by Laurel VE’s at 7 p.m. Feb 7 at Bertrand Chaffee Hospital in Springville.

Those who will be taking their first test will need to bring two forms of ID, including one with a photo on it. Those upgrading will need to bring any CSCE’s and a current copy of their ham radio license.

For more info, contact Gary KB2YAA at kb2yaa@ arrl.net or 592-9554.

A high-octane Americana quintet from New York’s storied Hudson Valley, The Mammals carry on the work of Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie with a deep original repertoire

and signature “trad is rad” sound. They will begin their “Western Migration” tour at Springville Center for the Arts on Feb. 9 at 8 p.m.

In 2001, The Mammals originated as a partnership

between Ruthy Ungar, banjo/guitar songsmith Mike Merenda, and Tao Rodriguez-Seeger (Pete Seeger’s grandson). The Mammals reemerged in 2017 fronted by Mike and Ruthy along with drums, bass and pedal steel.

Known for their jubilant, high-energy shows, The Mammals deftly move from older-than-dirt banjo duets to sound-the-alarm topical fare that’s right in line with the times, bouncing from roof raising hoe-downs to hear-a-pin-drop acappella balladry.

The Washington Post described their rootsy character, explaining, “The Mammals don’t suffer from multiple genre syndrome, they celebrate it as if gleefully aware that the sound barriers separating old-timey music, vintage pop and contemporary folk are as permeable as cotton.”

Springville Center for the Arts is located at 37 N. Buffalo St., Springville, NY 14141. Call 716-592-9038 or visit SpringvilleArts.org for tickets, $12 presale, or $15 at the door.

passed (away) and it was like they were my family,” said James. “I really felt bad when they passed.”

“They become family,” Lipka added.

The execution of serving a lunchtime meal around noon nearly on a daily basis is a task that begins much before the Showcase Showdown is overheard on the television broadcasting “Price is Right” in the background. In fact, it could be said it begins before many have eaten breakfast.

James arrives at the Concord Senior Center around 7:30 a.m. to receive the food from a driver who brings it from Buffalo. It often comes frozen, and preparation begins with putting the meat in the oven to start thawing.

“Sometimes I prepare some of the salad before the girls get in here and they

pick up some of the other stuff I haven’t gotten to,” said James, adding some of the time is also dedicated to setting up the room and getting things ready. “Oh yes, my time is utilized.”

Other staff come in around 9:30 a.m. and volunteers arrive about an hour or so later.

For the team of staff members and volunteers, getting the food prepped and ready for the roughly 20 seniors who take advantage of the program has become a way of life.

“She’s my buddy,” Lipka said, putting her arm around James’ shoulders. “It’s just fun. I enjoy it. The fun of getting out of the house and being busy.”

James agreed. “If I didn’t do this, I would sit in my rocker at home and just be looking out the window,” she said. “I

wouldn’t have any sense of accomplishment.”

Borst joined the staff recently and said she enjoys the job because “it gets me up and out.”

And then there’s the fellowship with those who show up for the lunches.

While chatting last week, Lipka paused to say hello to many who walked in the door, including a guest named Carl who has been attending the lunches for more than 25 years in their various locations to another gentleman who brought in cookies for others to enjoy.

“You’re going to make everybody so happy,” she told him. “Thank you.”

As guests chat away during the lunchtime hour, the staff and their volunteers — which on Thursday included JoAnn Feuz, one of the lead volunteers, and Morgan Nellis — sit down

and enjoy the meal with everyone else. Then comes cleanup, with the staff usually leaving around 2 p.m.

The Concord Senior Center became the site for the county’s Stay Fit Dining Program after its completion about two years ago. The Concord Nutrition Site had bounced around in its more than 25-year history, including the Salem Lutheran Church and the fire hall, among others.

The menu is published each week in the Springville Times.

To participate in the lunches, guests or their spouse must be 60 years of age or older and the suggested donation is $3, although no one is denied a meal if they are unable to contribute. Reservations are required 48 hours in advance and can be made by calling 592-2741.

Dress Trends and Bridal Shows

By Alicia Dziak

It’s February—the month of love. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, many guys (and gals too!) are getting ready to pop the question, or even getting ready for their big day in the upcoming months. If you are looking to say yes to the dress this year, where do you even begin?

According to www. weddingwire.com, New York Bridal Fashion week presented the latest trends in wedding dresses, which include those that are celestial-inspired (think star appliques and holographic details), edgy jackets (think studded for a rocker chic vibe), puffy sleeves, sporty and short.

The site also noted that botanical elements are in: “On the Spring 2018 bridal runways, embellishments in vine patterns popped up everywhere thanks to the latest wedding obsession with greenery. For Fall 2018 wedding dress trends, botany was still the major inspiration for many designers, but was used in eye-catching ways. Plants, not just florals, were seen in opulent embroidery lace, appliques and more. The designs created an ethereal look with earthy elements appearing to grow off

the dresses. From threedimensional appliques on sleeves to bright floral embellishments trickling down bodices, these botanical wedding dress trends took our breath away.”

Brides can also channel days gone by when picking up on the ultra-feminine petticoat skirt trend for gowns and Boho-inspired looks that feature crochetlace or feathered backs (think Stevie Nicks).

When it comes to the sometimes-controversial bridesmaid dress (of course they’ll be able to wear it again!), finding something that can be flattering for everyone in the wedding party can be a challenge, but one any bride should be willing to accept. (These are your besties after all, and you don’t want their biggest memory of your wedding to be the drop-waisted, sparkly, canary yellow number with dyed-to-match shoes you made them wear!)

According to theknot. com, halter necklines are in.

“Whether you want a dress to help create the illusion of curves, or flaunt the curves you have, a halterneck bridesmaid dress is a universally flattering style your girls will love,” the site says.

Other flattering trends include flowy tiers, high slits, lace details, and one shoulder styles that boast a “versatile silhouette works for every wedding style and dress code.” Also of note, the site lists open backs, glamorous fit-and-flare skirts and whimsical gauzy overlays as a few ways to give your bridal party a fresh take.

Attending a bridal show is also a great way to see what’s out there, often times featuring numerous wedding-related vendors and a fashion show.

Head north to the Seneca Niagara Casino on Saturday, Feb. 18 for the Buffalo Bridal Expo (Exhibitors Welcome)​​ at Seneca Niagara Casino (310 4th Street, Niagara Falls NY 14304) Sunday, Feb. 18.

The high-energy runway fashion shows feature the latest styles, designs and trends. Save thousands of dollars by taking advantage of the many exclusive show specials offered here and register to win fantastic prizes.

On Saturday, March 26, mark your calendar for the Buffalo Wedding Bridal Show at Statler City, located at 107 Delaware Avenue in the heart of downtown Buffalo. See, hear and taste all that Buffalo Wedding professionals have to offer when planning your perfect wedding with a vendor viewing from 12 - 3 p.m. and a fashion show at 3 p.m.

For more info, call 716-8988193.

On May 6, head to the Buffalo Wedding Bridal Show at The Erie County Events Center, at 5820 South Park Avenue in Hamburg. The show features vendors from 12-4 p.m. and a fashion show at 2:30 p.m.

Trading Post SOUP-er Bowl Fundraiser Feb. 3

Over the last several years the Trading Post Community Care Center has seen a rise the number of families, especially seniors and working families needing help with food, clothing, housing, and other basic needs. They consistently serve over 5,000 hot meals per year and logging in more than 1,000 volunteer hours to accomplish this work. In our rural area, many seniors and those who are disabled struggle with fixed incomes and many families are trying to live on low wage incomes. Due to these factors, we have seen the need to continue our outreach and are seeking more caring volunteers to reach out through our Community “Soup” Kitchen.

The Trading Post offers a “free hot meal” to the public every Wednesday at noon and it is open to anyone. The goal and mission of the Community Kitchen and Food Pantry is to reach out by “Showing God’s love by sharing a meal

with our neighbors and offering a hand of friendship.”

The next fundraising effort for this worthy cause is the “SOUP”er BOWL event, which will be held Saturday, Feb. 3 from 4-8 p.m. at the Springville Country Club.

Tickets are $12 per/person (presale) or $15 at the door and includes bottomless bowls of soup, appetizers, and desserts. There will also be a cash bar.

There will also be music, theme basket raffles and a 50/50.

Everyone is welcome to attend, and they are looking more people interested to get involved! You can make a Crockpot of your favorite soup/ chili, an appetizer, donate a gift or theme basket, or volunteer to help in the kitchen!

Call today to get involved! (716)628-3955 or (716) 440-8703.

If you have a favorite soup recipe you’d like to share, send it to us at info@springvilletimes.com.

Last Thursday, the Lady Griffs battled it out on the court against Maryvale to continue their winning streak after a 47-26 victory over Cheektowaga, and a 39-37 win over West Seneca West earlier in the week. The girls were looking for a big win against the Flyers, and they did not disappoint.

The girls took the lead early on, but that lead switched hands several times throughout the game, at one point with the Griffs being down by nine.

Maryvale’s full court press was no match for Springville’s offense, who, after some foul trouble in the first half, managed a string of solid passing and shooting, with point guard Cora Boundy repeatedly driving the ball down and passing it outside to forward Gracie Attebery. Even when Attebery didn’t land her shots in the net, she drew the foul several times, creating successful opportunities for herself at the free throw line.

With less than two minutes on the clock, the game was tied at 42, and the Griffs were able to control the remainder of the game, ending with a 47-42 victory.

Leading scorers on the night were Attebery with 19 and Meg Rehrauer with 14.

Following the JV game, the Varsity Lady Girffs took to the floor, but unfortunately didn’t fare as well, dropping the game 39-28.

“The girls, once again, played outstanding team defense on the night by disrupting perimeter passes and being a force on the glass,” said coach Bob Gainey. “Unfortunately the girls’ offense let them down as they missed open layups and close shots which would have changed the complexion of the game drastically.”

Scorers on the night from the Griffs were Ivette Lewandowski with 12 points, Leah Frank with 8, Kelsey Zabawa with 4, MacKenzie Engel with 2, and Grace Zabawa and Jess Engel with one point each.
