The Concord Town Board last week approved the hiring of a new code enforcement officer, tabled a resolution approving a new park employee and heard an update on the search for a new librarian. The personnel items came following an update from Dennis Dains, town highway superintendent, on the March 2 storm that walloped the town with heavy, wet snowfall. “The amount of snowfall, along with trees and powerlines coming down all across town, made it difficult to keep up,” Dains told the board during its March 8 meeting. “All the guys did an outstanding job dealing with the storm.”
He said the snowfall — among the “heaviest and worst” since he’s been with the town — measured 18 to 24 inches. Although difficult to handle, the highway department managed with no major breakdowns, Dains said.
By shifting personnel, most notably having nightshift stay until about 7:30 a.m. the morning of the storm, the department was able to do a five-truck run for about three hours See Town Board page 9

Incumbent mayor Bill Krebs is running unopposed for this fourth term. However, a contested race for two village trustee seats will feature incumbent Terry Skelton and political newcomers Kim Pazzuti and Elise Rose on the ballot. Krebs, Skelton and Pazzuti have been running together as members of the For Springville independent
party. Bill Krebs The incumbent mayor is expected to continue his service as village leader for a fourth consecutive term, adding to a political resume that dates back to the early ‘90s and includes time as a village trustee and on the village planning board. “I look forward to my service to my community as
mayor; it’s an honor to serve the community as a mayor and I’ll continue,” said Krebs in a recent interview. “I think we’ll move Springville forward.” In his announcement announcing re-election, Krebs said he looks to continue addressing distressed properties in the village, investing in
in the good work you are doing.” In 1917, Anna was instrumental in establishing not only the Local Red Cross unit, but several others in the surrounding towns. What did the local Red Cross units do? The Springville branch furnished a quota of 125 articles for foreign relief each month, in addition to all the knitting for the soldiers and hospital supplies. The items sent were: 25 mufflers, 16 pairs of socks, 18 pairs wristlets, seven sweaters,
2 dozen slings, five dozen T bandages, five dozen washcloths and 134 comfort pillows (some filled with milkweed down that was gathered in the fields). Besides sending items, the Red Cross helped the families of the men who were in the military service. In 1924, the Woman’s Club was trying to work with the Village of Springville to beautifying and define the outdoors areas that were around the Village such as the pond. They wanted to

A Look Back
Anna Brooks and the Woman’s Club By Jolene Hawkins
Looking back to some women who help formed Springville in the past, I think one of the first women I will talk about is Anna Brooks. Anna lived from 1866 to 1950, and in her lifetime she achieved more than the “modern” woman has. One of the reasons we can look back through old records and items that were from a time before is thanks to Anna. She worked among the old families of the town and accumulated articles which would be of interest. These were stored in attics and cellars of old homes. She then set aside several rooms in her house to display the items and
Emerling 195 West Main Street, Springville, NY (716)592-2881 www.emerlingcdjr.com
invited all to come and see them. She also made some dolls; at one meeting for the Historical Society, she told a story and used the dolls as part of the story. The Concord Historical Society still has those dolls. In 1911, Anna was among the group of women that help form the Home Economic Club, later to be known as the Woman’s Club. Their motto was: “ I will apply to homemaking the same science and culture demanded to any other profession.” She was the first president and was a president for 17 years, from 1911 to 1927. They would often have teas in the yard or in the house of Mrs. Brooks,
taking a photo each year to document it. This group of women worked hard to get hot lunches into the schools. A thank you that was written to the Club in 1920 says….. “Dear Club members, I have been trying to solve the hot lunch problem for the children. I received the utensil and really think it helps the children as they have all gained in weight during the last month. It does make a little extra work, but the children do most of it and I feel than repaid for the trouble. I wish to thank the members of the club and wish you much success

School Board Expected to Vote Tuesday on P-TECH Project By Rich Place
The SGI School Board of Education on Tuesday, March 20 is expected to vote on a resolution that would give the green light for the district to put its recently discussed $14.73 million P-TECH capital project up for a districtwide vote in May. The vote by the board will be the first official action taken on the project and keeps it on schedule for opening by September 2020, pending approval by voters in May. The school board has heard multiple presentations on the P-TECH program, which stands for Pathways in Technology Early College High School, and is a joint partnership between the SpringvilleGriffith school district, Erie 2 BOCES and Alfred State College. It’s a five- or sixyear program for freshman high school students that allows them to earn both a state Regents Diploma and an associate’s degree. The project itself is expected to move the district offices to the middle school and add to the current district office building to accommodate the program. The search, led by Dr. Janeil Rey, Erie 2 BOCES P-TECH Director, is on to find students to participate in the program. At the March 6 school board meeting, she said all targeted area districts have been contacted. Springville superintendent Kimberly Moritz said the program is scheduled to open this fall with the first cohort, which will utilize four classrooms this year and six classrooms next year.

$2 million of the $14.73 million project will not be covered by building aid. Through another series of calculations on how that cost would be divided amongst the 27 districts within this BOCES, Moon estimated about $23,000 annually will be Springville’s share of the project before it receives roughly 66 percent aid on that figure. “This is something I would not normally go into great detail on but I think it’s important to be fully forthcoming with you and honest and transparent,” Moritz said. “So I’ve been saying there is no local cost to the taxpayer. In fact there is at a very, I would say, minimal cost.” She said the district, for example, currently pays for a similar P-TECH program in Dunkirk because it’s part of the BOCES program despite not sending any students to it. “If they were building this in another district, we still would share that cost,” she said. “So from

my perspective it’s here in our district benefitting our community and that’s been very important to me from the beginning when they first approached us about this partnership.” The March 6 presentation was given to allow the school board to see all the facts and figures of the project before their expected March 20 vote, Humphrey said. If approved by the school board, project officials will host community presentations to educate the public about the project, he said. That allows for a project vote by the public on May 15 — the same day as the school budget and board candidate vote — and allow for submission to state Education Department for approval early in 2019. The project would go out to bid and construction would begin following state approval and is expected to be moved into in August 2020 to coincide with Alfred State College’s academic calendar.

“We absolutely do not have the capacity to handle the third year’s cohort in the following year, that’s why I say we must open by September 2020,” Moritz told the board. The board heard from a handful of project officials at its March 6 meeting including Rey; Jeff Nunn from Gordon W. Jones Associates; Nick Humphrey from Campus Construction Management; and Karen Moon, a financial advisor from Bernard P. Donegan. Nunn highlighted proposed architectural renderings and a floor plan to the board, noting specific design comes later in the project timeline. “You don’t do a full detailed design until after you know the project has passed,” Moritz added. More detail will be submitted to the state Education Department pending voter approval, she said. The longest conversation about the project centered around finances, led by Moon. The project’s unique partnership with entities other than the district makes it more complex that a traditional school capital project. “In this unique partnership with Erie 2 BOCES and Alfred State, the basic premise we have to remember is this is a Springville building and a Springville capital project but it will be leased for an Erie 2 BOCES program,” Moritz said. “So the lease BOCES pays will cover this local share.” After a handful of calculations related to the maximum cost allowance on projects by the state, it was determined about

change — is going to enlarge these existing revines and at some point cut into the existing burial trenches and start to expose and carry away radioactive waste and carry it downstream,” said Vaughn. He added previous environmental impact studies have had conflicting reports as to how soon this could happen. “One suggested it was a very severe problem that would occur in the next few hundred years,” he said. “The other basically said ‘no big deal, it’s not going to happen anytime soon.’” However, no matter the timeline, Vaughn called the erosion near the site “not a trivial issue.” The Seneca Nation of Indians finds itself upstream of two separate issues with potential environmental impact: its Cattaraugus Territory in Irving is upstream of the West Valley site and the Allegany Territory near Salamanca is upstream of a potential Coudersport, Pa. plant to treat fracking wastes and discharge it into the Allegheny River. Those issues brought Seneca Nation President Gates to the gathering on Sunday and he explained the impact each has on the territories and nearby communities. “I’m for a total cleanup,” he said in relation to the West Valley site, “but we have to consider how we are going to handle that once we dig it all out of the ground, where we are going to put it (and) how we are going transport it. The funding just needs to be increased.” Emphasis by multiple speakers was also on
educating upcoming generations about the issue at West Valley site due to the timeline of the cleanup. Those who gathered for the 90-minute series of speakers also learned more about how they can become involved in the scoping process, especially how to comment at one of the meetings or by mail or online. “Last time they had these hearings they received 1,900 comments,” said Lia Oprea, founder of WECAP that organized the event. “Now we would like to beat that.” Those interested in speaking at the upcoming scoping sessions must register, and there is a fiveminute limit for comments. To register, contact DOE document manager Martin Krentz at 942-4007 or email martin.krentz@emcbc.doe. gov. The first DOE scoping session will be held March 19 from 6 to 9:30 p.m. at the West Valley Volunteer Hose Company, 9091 Route 240, West Valley. The next two sessions are: • March 20, 6 to 9:30 p.m. at Erie Community College, City Campus, 121 Ellicott St., Buffalo. • March 21, 6 to 9:30 p.m. in the Seneca Nation of Indians Cattaraugus Council Chambers, 12837 Route 438, Irving. Officials on Sunday also encouraged people to make written comments on the scope for the SEIS before the April 23 deadline. A program similar to the one in Springville on Sunday will be held again on Thursday, March 15 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Crane Library, 633 Elmwood Ave., Buffalo.

A group of experts on Sunday helped educate the public about the upcoming state “scoping sessions” that will address future cleanup at the West Valley Demonstration Project site. More than two dozen people attended the meeting held at Springville Center for the Arts, which included Seneca Nation President Todd Gates and members of The Coalition on West Valley Nuclear Wastes, the Sierra Club and Wyoming, Erie and Cattaraugus Communities Act on the Pipeline (WECAP). The upcoming scoping sessions, scheduled for next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in West Valley, Buffalo and Irving, respectively, will allow interested persons and agencies to comment on what they think the future cleanup at the West Valley site in northern Cattaraugus County should include. “This will be the final decision for West Valley,” said Joanne Hameister, president of The Coalition on West Valley Nuclear Wastes. “So we have to make very sure it’s the right one.” Ray Vaughn, a professional geologist and environmental scientist who has been working with issues at the West Valley site since 1978, explained the scoping process is an early step in the environmental review process to guide cleanup for the decision of what to do with buried waste buried at the site. “The plant only operated for six years and we’re well into decades of trying to deal with what was left over,” said Hameister, referring to when Nuclear Fuel Services operated the plant in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. Vaughn and Charley Bowman, of the Sierra Club Niagara Group, went into detail about the buried waste and its proximity to Buttermilk Creek, which flows into nearby Cattaraugus Creek. “The concern is that over the next hundreds and thousands of years, the rainfall — especially accentuated by climate

SGI High School Presents Beauty and the Beast March 16-18 By Gwendolyn Fruehauf, SGI Student Reporter
Time and time again, without fail, the students from Springville high school put on a show full of magic and spirit. And it’s that time of year. On Friday, March 16 at 7 p.m., Saturday, March 17 at 7 p.m., and Sunday, March 18 at 2 p.m., SGI presents Beauty and the Beast in the high school auditorium. Beauty and the Beast tells the story of Belle, a girl out of place in her small town, wanting more than a small provincial life. When Belle comes to face-to-face with a beast after she goes to find her father, she finds herself a prisoner in the Beast’s castle. Soon, she is forced to make a decision: shut the Beast out or open her mind to the possibility of accepting him for who he is? Time is running out. Will Belle leave the Beast behind or will she find a way to love the Beast, and ultimately save him in the end? Auston Bus, a senior, plays the Beast. Although this is only his second year participating in the musical, he has made enough memories to last him forever. Bus says that after he graduates, he will always remember the jokes that go along with each musical. He said, “Being able to make jokes about a character that you played is the most fun thing ever.” But his favorite memory from this year focused on a more serious note. “As a personal experience, getting through my solo for the first time, one hundred percent, with no mistakes, was just awesome,” Bus said. “Now I feel like I can really make this happen.”

When you play a character in a production, you must learn to connect with it on a certain level. And connecting with your character… you learn to love who they are, what they do, and where they’re going. As for Bus, his favorite part about playing the Beast is the songs he gets to sing. He also loves doing the wolf scenes. Mallory Robel is also a senior. She has been doing the school musical for years, long before she even got to high school. Robel says that the reason she originally decided to do the musical is because her family is very musical, and this was the next step in following in their footsteps.. However, Robel had an entirely different reason for coming back each year. “It’s really the teamwork aspect of it. Everyone is out to help everybody and we’re really just one big family. It’s a really fun crowd to
be around,” Robel said. In the musical, Robel plays Belle, a character she says is so much fun to play. “I like that Belle isn’t a princess. She isn’t a damsel. I like that she’s the one who saves him in the end,” she said. “She’s a strong woman.” As for her favorite part about playing Belle, Mallory said, “I can definitely relate to her love of reading.” When asked what her favorite musical memory from this year was, Robel smiled and said, “There are just so many. I can’t decide.” So much time is put into making the show happen. When asked if it’s totally

worth it in the end, Bus answered, “I would say one hundred percent. The payout is always amazing, especially because there are a lot of people who are trying so hard for it to be amazing.” Come and see a tale of dreams. A tale of spirit and unexpected love. A tale of determination and courage. Come and see… a tale as old as time. Tickets can be purchased for all shows at www. springvillegi.org.

Tickets are available at Anything Printed, S&S Taxidermy or from any Cordelian Club member. Now on to the parades. Buffalo has been consistently rated one of the best cities in the Country for our St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. If you haven’t experienced a St. Patrick’s Day parade in Buffalo, you are missing out. Make sure to put this on your bucket list at least once and you’ll see why. On Saturday, March 17, 25th Annual “Old Ward” St. Patrick’s Day Parade starts at Noon from the Valley Community Center. The Old Ward parade is known to many as the “real” Irish parade in town since the Old Ward neighborhood is where many of WNY’s Irish immigrants settled with their families, who still live in the area today. The parade includes over 100 marching units (bands, floats, social clubs, dancers, family clans, fire and police departments) that meander through the streets including South Park Avenue, Smith Street, Elk Street, Hamburg Street and South Street. Following the parade join everyone, and we mean everyone, at the Valley Community Center, located at 93 Leddy Street, Buffalo for the traditional grand Irish “Hooley” featuring live music by “Emerald Isle” along with traditional Irish food and drink. Or make some time to grab a bite at one of the many local pubs in the neighborhood, including Gene McCarthy’s, Adolf’s, Blackthorn, Conlon’s & Doc Sullivan’s. For more information visit the Valley Community Center website at www.thevalleycenter.com. On Sunday, March 18, the 78th Annual Buffalo Saint Patrick’s Day Parade kicks off at Niagara Square in front of City Hall at 2 p.m. and travels up Delaware Avenue all the way to North Street. If you plan on attending this parade you need to get your spot early and be prepared to wait out in the cold for the parade route to go by! It’s a long one. But worth the wait. For more information visit www. buffalostpatricksdayparade.com. For those not willing to brave the long lines or chilly weather, or those who just love good Irish food and music, you can stop at the Buffalo Irish Center located at 245 Abbott Road. They’ll be serving up a breakfast at 10 a.m. (bangers and mash and black pudding) and open for admission to the St. Patrick’s Celebration starting at noon featuring the band the LeftOvers and Irish dance performances by Clann Na Cara and Rince na Tiarna.

WV Board Approves Lawton to Continue as Superintendent
By Rich Place
The West Valley School Board of Education on Monday voted by a 4-2 tally to approve Eric Lawton to continue to serve as the district’s superintendent for the next three years. The board met for an hour in executive session prior to the vote, which appoints Lawton to serve as superintendent through June 30, 2021. School board members Dawn Samborski and Timothy Ploetz voted against the resolution. The board has been operating since mid-December without a seventh member following the resignation of Brad Frank due to military obligations. There was no discussion held about the matter following the executive session other than the resolution being read by school board president Stephen Kowalski. Ploetz said on Tuesday he voted against the measure because the board has yet to review its evaluation performed six months ago with Lawton. “We did an evaluation and we haven’t reviewed it,” he said. “I was all set for a one-year extension to see how he did on our new process for evaluations.” Samborski could not be reached by press time on Tuesday to comment on the matter. Lawton, a Springville resident, has served as West Valley superintendent since 2012. He previously served as a technology teacher at
Pembroke and Iroquois and as a principal at Holland and Cassadaga Valley.
IN OTHER BUSINESS at the meeting, Lawton said he received a draft earlier on Monday of the results of a pre-annexation study by Dr. William Silky of Castallo & Silky LLC but had yet to review them by the board meeting. He said he plans to have Silky present to the school board in April and, from there, determine which direction the board wishes to proceed. There could be subsequent presentations with the Ellicottville and Springville-Griffith Institute school boards if the West Valley board desires, Lawton said. Castallo & Silky LLC has been working with the West Valley school district since last autumn on the preannexation study. School business official Ann O’Brien, fresh off a trip from Albany from a meeting with leaders of the New York State Association of School Business Officials about the state budget, presented to the board on Monday the instructional aspect of the budget, which had little surprises. “We haven’t increased any staffing, so what you’d have here for the most part is ... increases due to contractual agreements,” she said. O’Brien also explained the recently calculated tax levy limit, which is 4.65 percent or $3.14 million. “That does not necessarily mean that is what we are going to be doing for our
budget,” she said, noting the actual tax levy for the upcoming school budget is yet to be determined. The board approved a resolution to include the purchase of a 22-passenger school bus at a cost not to exceed $55,732 as part of its annual budget vote. The bus would replace bus No. 90, a 2009 model with over 70,000 miles on it, O’Brien said. It fits with the district’s bus replacement schedule, she said. “One of the issues with this particular bus ... is the body is starting to get thin on it,” O’Brien said. “Once that happens and we start making the repairs on it we are going to be spending quite a bit of money to do that because that is something we’ll have to have sent out.” The board also approved a High School Fun Night from 6:30 to 8 p.m. March 26 and a Community Service Day for May 4. It also approved a new West Valley Art Club for the high school grade levels. The next meeting of the West Valley School Board of Education is scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday, April 17 in the school library.
Letters to the Editor
Editor’s Note: the following letters were sent to us by students in Mila Clauss’ fifth grade class at Springville Elementary School: Dear Springville Times, Do you limit your child’s or children’s time on technology? I think time on social media should be limited because people are spending more time on social media than with their family or friends. First, I think that it is dangerous to your child or children. I think that it is a danger because kids can meet strangers that are dangerous. An example is, “Kids also face the possibility of a physical encounter with the wrong person.” That is one reason why you should limit your child’s or children’s time on social media. I chose this quote because it proves that your child’s or children’s life is at risk. Another reason why I think people are spending more time on technology is that they are not spending enough time with friends and family. For example, “There is less interaction with the people around them.” I also chose this quote because it proves that there is less interaction with people. That is another reason why you should limit your child’s or children’s time on technology. In conclusion, you should definitely limit your child’s or children’s time on technology. Kids should spend more time playing with their siblings or their pets instead of tuning them out. Your Writer, Makayla Heary Dear Springville Times, Have you ever noticed that people walk across the street while on their phones? I believe that while crossing the street while on their phones there is a better chance of them getting hit. I think that EVERYONE should listen to this idea because I believe with all my heart that it is one of the most dangerous things, and it can lead to a serious injury. I think this because a lot of people are looking down at something on their phones, and get hit because of looking at something else instead of all the traffic that was on the road. I think this because I see a lot more of this stuff, especially because, in a big cities and even in a small town, there can be a lot of traffic. In the article it said, “People do many things that cause injury to themselves, but aren’t illegal… People might get hurt from texting and walking if they’re not paying attention.” This quote to me stood out of all the other words in the article because I thought that it might stop people from crossing the street while on there phones. As you can see, this is a BIG deal to keep aware of traffic on the street. I also I think this because, if people cross the road on a device and they are on a app that is “cool” they are probably walking very slow and a car is coming it can lead to a serious injury. When people cross the road and are on their phones they are usually on a app like Instagram, Facebook, or on a game that would make them move slow because they don’t want to fall or trip. For example, “ We, should make texting illegal while crossing the street in more cities especially so we don’t see less zombies crossing the road and keep them alive as humans.” I liked this quote because, in the summer a lot of families cross the street and the children are on an electronic and they were very, very, very slow. As you can see this is a big problem that we need to control. Don’t forget that while crossing the road your devices are down, and you look both ways before crossing, so you don’t get a big injury. In conclusion, nobody wants to get hurt, so PUT YOUR DEVICES DOWN. Sincerely, Ella Uhteg

Hike, Concert at Allegany State Park March 17
Officials at Allegany State Park have once again paired the park’s monthly Third Saturday Trek with a By the Fireside concert, with both events scheduled for Saturday, March 17. This month’s Third Saturday Trek will take place on the Hemlock Hollow Trail where participants will learn about tree identification and the returning spring birds. Participants are asked to
meet in the Site 3 parking lot, ¼ -mile from the Red House toll booth inside the park at 1 p.m. and to come dressed for the weather. The hike is expected to last approximately two hours and registration is not required. Later in the evening, Jamie Haight will perform in the Administration Building lobby as part of the By the Fireside concert series. A musician,
entertainer and socialite from Upstate New York, Hardley will perform from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Both events are free and open to the public. For additional information, visit the Allegany State Park Facebook page or contact the Environmental Education/Recreation Department by calling 3549101 ext. 236 or emailing AlleganySP@parks.ny.gov.
The Art’s Cafe project has taken some significant behind-the-scenes steps forward in the last month and the Arts Center will host a community information session on March 17 at 10 a.m. When Springville Center for the Arts acquired 5 East Main Street, Springville, the roof was collapsed into the basement. Envisioned as an art-focused multi-use redevelopment, the project includes two second-floor residences for visiting artists, a basement level workshop with pottery capacity, a publicly accessible green roof and Art’s Cafe on the first floor. The cafe will have an inhouse bakery and will serve coffee and tea drinks,
soups and sandwiches. A small performance space will expand the Center’s concert and theater programs. Through public investment, the Center was able to save and restore the existing facade, secure the neighboring buildings and rebuild the structure. A program was set up to involve many smaller, local investors, inspired by the crowdfunding movement and alternative business structures such as co-ops that return money to the community, “This project has always had community ownership. It gets called social entrepreneurship, or mission-based investing, where someone is more focussed on a large
community benefit but there is the potential for a small financial return. This is for people who care about Main Street more than Wall Street,” says Seth Wochensky, Arts Center Director and Cafe Project Manager. “We’ll present information about the financing, plans for accessing historic tax credits and membership in the project but it’s also an entertaining presentation for anyone who cares about Main Street or is just curious about the project.” Those interested in attending must RSVP at info.artscafespringville.com or by calling (716) 5929038. Coffee and sample baked goods will be served.

beginning at 4 a.m. “Going down SpringvilleBoston Road was like a disaster trying to miss the trees that were fallen and the ones coming down,” Dains said. One plow truck was trapped on Chaise Road for about 45 minutes after a tree and power line fell in front of the vehicle and another tree fell behind it soon after. Dains thanked the village electric department for their quick response to the scene. The week following the storm, highway department personnel went throughout the town — including county roads — to compile a list of where debris was located that will need to be cleared once the snow melts, Dains said. He met with county officials to go over the list. In personnel matters, the board approved Jeff Singleton to serve as the town’s code enforcement officer following interviews

by supervisor Clyde Drake and councilman Phil Drozd. “I think we had some great people that were interested — some construction background in each of them — but this candidate was just far above them,” Drozd said. “And I say it’s a win-win for the taxpayers due to the fact we don’t have to ‘school’ him. That’s very expensive.” Singleton comes certified and “right up-to-date on everything” in regard to certification documentation, Drozd said. Singleton also is employed as a code enforcement officer for the village of Silver Creek. In other personnel matters, Drozd provided an update to the board on the search for a librarian for the Hulburt Library following the January resignation of Bridgette Heintz. “When the librarian notice was posted by Erie County, it had in parenthesis ‘pending civil service list,’”
explained Drozd. “Well, we interviewed and guess what happened — the new civil service list came out. “So by law, (we) got to go by that new list because we are in the middle of interviews and no one was appointed yet. So it’s back to square one.” He said interviews began that morning, March 8, with people from the civil service list. A motion to appoint a town park employee was tabled after Drake said interviews had been held but details need to be worked out with civil service. It was noted a special board meeting may be needed to ready baseball fields by April 8, when the varsity baseball team would like to hold its first practice at the town park. The Concord Town Board is scheduled to meet next at 7 p.m. April 12 in the town hall on Franklin Street.

Village Election Continued from front page
infrastructure improvements and updating community emergency response capacity. Krebs and his wife, Ginny, have lived in Springville since 1983, restoring a historic home on Main Street where they raised their family. They downsized three years ago and purchased a retirement home in the village. Kim Pazzuti Pazzuti, a teacher for 17 years at Springville Elementary School, is seeking her first political office as a candidate for village trustee. “There are alot of wonderful things going on now, but just to continue that you’ve got to keep that growth happening in our community,” she said. Pazzuti is head coach for the Springville GI girls’ modified basketball team and the Springville GI varsity softball team. She has served as a union representative for five years and is also a PTA member. She’s also a 10-year veteran of the Springville Youth Incorporated (SYI) board and has served the Springville Presbyterian Church for six years as a ruling elder. During a recent interview, Pazzuti highlighted her experience with budgets, which she said is an important aspect of serving on village board. Her experience includes financial work at both SYI and the Presbyterian Church. Other goals she outlined include demonstrating financial restraint in village operations, fostering
intergovernmental cooperation, maintaining the village’s distinctive character and continuing village commitment to public safety. Pazzuti has lived in Springville for 23 years with her husband, John, and has raised her family here. Elise Rose Rose is also a newcomer to village politics — she’s a 2004 graduate of Springville-Griffith Institute and owns Sheret Jewelers on Main Street. Her business ownership has lead her to serve in roles on the Springville Area Chamber of Commerce board and the Downtown Merchant Committee, which was recently responsible for the Very Merry Main Street event. She’s also active with the First Presbyterian Church of Springville and the local chapter of MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers). “I might not have the political experience but I might have a different perspective,” she said. “I’m not coming in trying to reinvent the wheel, but I want to hear why we are doing things. I want to give a second perspective as well.” Rose mentioned promoting Springville more to other area communities as one of her top ideas, stating “we need to let people know how great Springville is.” She said she is also committed to ensuring those in the community area able to utilize grants the village has been acquiring. Rose and her husband, Mike, have three small children. She invites the
community to stop by Sheret Jewelers from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday for a meetand-greet with refreshments. Terry Skelton A veteran member of the Springville Village Board, Skelton is seeking reelection to his seat in this year’s election. Skelton has worked at Moog in East Aurora for 37 years, currently serving as an IT manager in its corporate division. He was appointed to fill a vacancy on the village board in 2008. “What I’m very proud of — and a lot of it is attributed to Mayor Krebs for his vision and everything — is just the improvement to our downtown,” Skelton said. “The parks, more green space, the walkability, just the stuff we’ve been doing to make the village life better for everybody.” Skelton was a past founder and board member of the Boys and Girls Club of Springville and continues to serve on the board for SYI. He was awarded the Springville Area Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year Award in 2005 and continues to coach SYI youth teams. He said filling the remaining empty storefronts on Main Street are a top priority should he be elected to another term. Creating that opportunity for potential business owners could lead to more people living and working in the community, he said. Skelton was born in Springville; he and his wife, Lauri, raised three children and have five grandchildren.

LOCAL Business BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
Springville Native Creates Signs and Graphics for WNY By Carlee Frank
Imagine a world with no signs. Times Square would be just another street in New York City; businesses would be awfully difficult to locate; and highways would be very confusing. Signs in the stars led early man to understand the seasons, navigate the seas and build complex monuments. Nowadays, signs do many things, but when it comes it D&D Signs & Vinyl Graphics, they promote businesses with a flair. After receiving a degree in graphic design at Bryant and Stratton College and interning in the sign business for a number of years, Don Wickett, a Springville native, opened D&D Signs in 1999. He started working on friends’ vehicles and from there, his business boomed. Wickett offers a range of services, such as window lettering, vehicle graphics, signage, car wraps and banners. He can even make magnets for work vehicles that double as personal use vehicles. “If it’s a wedding or something, you can remove it easily and have your personal vehicle back without messing up the paint job,” Wickett said.
According to Wickett, he received his artistic abilities from his father, which enables him to hand paint graphics and create designs and logos when customers need assistance. While he said he loves the artistic nature of his job, he also enjoys the mobility it allows. “I love not doing the same thing every day,” Wickett said. “I’m not a nine-to-five guy –I like going out and meeting different people; it’s always interesting.” His clientele is spread throughout Western New York and parts of Pennsylvania. He has made signs for Canisius College, Nick Charlap’s Ice Cream, Collins Center Fire Company and many others. Customers can also order personal address placards, or even lettering for RVs, boats and jet skis. Wickett stressed that he can deliver nearly anything a customer may want. “I usually meet with them to get on the same page and figure out what they’re looking for, make proofs and get their approval –I just usually like to make everybody happy,” Wickett said. For those who order vehicle graphics or lettering,

he will drive out to his customers and install on site, because, he said, as most people are busy during the week, and he tries to be accommodating. Currently, he works alone at D&D Signs, but he eventually wants to purchase a larger shop and hire help. Wickett has been working in the sign business for 24 years, and has subsequently learned the importance of marketing and advertisement. “A business with no sign is a sign of no business,” Wickett said. Branding a business allows it to be recognized and, therefore, easily promoted. For example, if a company on Main Street has no sign, he said, it is less inviting and not as professional. Contrarily, some businesses are so well branded that they are recognized simply by their
logo –such as Target or McDonald’s. Almost all of his work – whether it’s a wooden sign or a banner –takes one to two weeks to complete. He works diligently to provide his customers with the finished product, but stresses that quality is his number one priority. He said D&D Signs competes against online companies such as Vista Print, but most people prefer his skill and artistry. “It’s fun to end up seeing the look on their face when they see it –like, ‘Oh my God I didn’t think it would look like that!’” Wickett said. If you are a business in need of signage and branding, or simply want a clever name on your RV, call D&D Signs at 716-9827273, or email Kaoswick@ gmail.com and Wickett will respond as soon as possible.

Boys Basketball Coach Looks Back on Ups and Downs of Season
By Coach Greg Miller
The 2017-18 boys Springville basketball season has come to an end for the Griffins, but it was a year of many successes. Overall, the team struggled in their divisional play as Springville came in second to last place in ECIC Div. 3. With two wins and 10 losses in league, we were not able to accomplish all of our team goals that we wanted to achieve. Overall, we had a 5 and 16 record including our Holiday Tournament victory over winter break. We had some nice non-league games that displayed a lot of growth and development from our players. We had two big league wins against East Aurora, one that was capped off with an overtime victory. Both were team wins and we were able to sweep them in season play which has not been accomplished in many years. We came up short in our playoff game against Burgard; however, we were able to play a tough game against them closing the gap to 7 in the middle of the 3rd quarter. The team chemistry this year was great and players learned to play unselfishly which turned out to lead to more opportunities of success; however, we didn’t always take advantage of them. There was team chemistry, laughter, excitement, and joy this season as all players really worked well with each other and put in great effort all the time. There was also defeat and disappointment at times. Overall, the record does not reflect the team we were. Our players were dedicated, passionate and excited throughout the year, and they all played with a lot of heart, which that is something we stressed and asked for from the start. This built up morale, excitement, and enjoyment to play the game. Some standouts for this year included great play from senior leaders including Matt Sion who won the MIP award, Anthony Lasker, Tyler Kostelny, and Mike Place. These gentlemen will be greatly missed next year and all of them were great leaders for the program. They were always motivating and putting their very best whenever they stepped on the court. With seven juniors and one freshman returning, our team will be experienced and ready to achieve our goal of winning the division. Some of these players had great years including Mason Goodridge, who was named not only the teams MVP, but was also named the Player of the Year and Sportsmanship award in Division 3 of ECIC, and made 1st Team All ECIC. Goodridge set a new scoring record for single season points at 516, and tied Jeff Piscitelli’s record for single game scoring at 44 points. Adam Pruitt led the team in rebounds and was the second leading scorer on the team. He was a vital part to the team this year, recording a serious amount of minutes on the court. Other juniors who made a mark this year included Adam Ditchey, who received the Bob Schlagerter award, as a dedicated and passionate player. Austin Lux, Tyler Attebery, Alex Francisco, and Mike Sobota were great contributors to the team both offensively and defensively. These guys stepped up when called upon and were always putting in the time to help the team to succeed. Finally, Austin Boies was called up to varsity from the JV team midseason and it seemed like he never missed a beat. He was able to step into a comfortable role as 6th man and played really well. With these eight gentlemen returning and some of the JV guys moving up, we will have a great opportunity to be successful next year. As coach, I am very proud of each of these players. They work hard, have a great attitude towards the game and each other, and really strive to become better players and individuals. Again, it was an honor to work with these athletes and I look forward to next year and wish those the best of luck who are graduating at the end of the school year.

On Thursday, March 8, SGI senior McKenzie Galvin signed a letter of intent to attend Mercyhurst College, in Erie, Pa., where she was recruited to play Division 2 lacrosse. “She had a lot of colleges interested in her for lacrosse, and (Mercyhurst) is the place for her,” said McKenzie’s mom, Cheryl Galvin. “It’s great for her to have all of these opportunities.” Of her decision to attend Mercyhurst, McKenzie said it “felt like the home away from home that I needed.” She also instantly clicked with the Mercyhurst coach, McKenzie Galvin (second from left) signs her letter of intent to attend and play lacrosse at Kevin Cooke.

SGI Girls’ Lacrosse Gaining in Popularity
Although the ground is still covered in snow, SGI spring sports are underway, with coaches making the best of the wintry conditions and using this opportunity to practice indoors. Athletes have a variety of sports to choose from this season. One of the sports that continues to grow in numbers and popularity is girls’ lacrosse, which currently only offers two levels—varsity and modified—with hopes of offering a JV level in the spring of 2019. (New this year, the modified team will include girls in grades 7-9. In the past, modified was only for 7th and 8th graders, and 9th graders moved up to varsity.) Led this season by varsity coach Katie ZielenErsing, in her second year of coaching for SGI, and modified coach Jessica Wojtkowiak, in her first year of coaching, the coaching team happens to be former teammates, having played together on
SGI’s team when they were in high school. Zielen-Ersing graduated from SGI in 2013, played soccer and lacrosse at Erie Community College, where she captained both teams and received Best Female Athlete of the Year. Wojtkowiak graduated from Springville in 2014 and was a part of the soccer team, as well as cross country, indoor track and dual sported outdoor track and lacrosse. “I was fortunate enough to reunite with Katie this summer, playing on a summer lacrosse league,” she said. The varsity squad began practices last week, while the modified girls will start their practices next week. “This season, as of right now, we have 19 girls on our roster,” explained ZielenErsing. “We essentially have the exact same team as least year without our seniors and with two new additions.” In addition, she plans to pull up 4-5 girls from the modified team, who currently has over 30 girls signed up to play.
“I am keeping all girls who sign up to play this year,” Wojtkowiak said. “We have a couple different reasons for that: I find it hard to cut someone if a majority of the girls don’t know the fundamental skills or how to play lacrosse. We are also keeping all individuals in hopes of eventually receiving a JV team next year!” While the modified team has not officially started the season yet, Wojtkowiak said that, “From a coaching perspective, my goal is to really focus on the fundamentals and help the girls gain confidence throughout the season.” Among the strengths of the mostly-veteran varsity team, Zielen-Ersing said, “We really rely on each other and are there for each other. The athletes are always giving 100 percent and never give up whether it be conditioning, stick skills, or game play.” The team will face a variety of teams from many schools they don’t play in a lot of other sports, like non-
league opponents LewistonPorter and Sweet Home. “I anticipate East Aurora and Eden being our toughest competition for the season,” Zielen-Ersing explained. “They’ve both had a solid program for years, but I think we’ve improved a lot these past couple of seasons and that they will be really good competition for us.” As far as season goals go, she said, “This season we are really trying to focus on confidence. We tend to get down on ourselves but I’ve already seen a world of improvement just within our first week of practice! We’re also trying to perfect our defensive game and transition. I’m really excited to see what this season has to offer and I feel as if it’ll be our best one yet!” The varsity lacrosse team plays their first home game on Friday, April 20 against Salamanca. The modified team plays their first home game on April 26 vs. Amherst. The fields are located behind the elementary and middle schools.
The U16 Griffins started their spring indoor soccer season last weekend at Sahlen’s. Opponents this season include TriTown, South Buffalo, Arcade, Cheektowaga and the Sahlen’s house team.

2018 Maple Weekend
Open 10 to 4 • March 17 & 18, 24 & 25 MARCH 17-18, MARCH 24-25
By Deb Everts
Two Weekends of Maple Fun
If all things maple are your thing, these next two weekends plan to be the “sweetest” of the year. About 150 maple producers from around the state — including a handful in our neck of the woods — will host open houses as part of the 23rd annual Maple Weekend on March 17 and 18 and March 24 and 25. “We enjoy doing the Maple Weekend — it’s nice to see people come back year after year, and to also see new faces,” said Paul Lesefske, who along with his brother, Dana, operate Maple Glen Sugar House in Gowanda. “Everybody has a little something different to offer, and it’s a great time for families to get out and go to the different places.” The New York State Maple Producers Association, which organizes the weekends, claims Maple Weekend is “agri-tourism at it’s best — come right down to the farm to see the process, smell the delicious smell of maple sap cooking down to syrup
and taste many of the maple products made right there on the farm.” Participating farms are expected to be open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each of the four days. The following participating maple producers in the Ellicottville area are open both weekends: • Arcade Center Farm Pancake House, 7298 Route 98, Arcade.

Celebrate the Season: All Things Maple
By Mary Heyl
It’s the official state tree for a reason: the Sugar Maple thrives in New York, one of very few places in the world where these trees can grow. The Native Americans were the first ones to discover this sweet resource and taught early settlers how to tap Sugar Maple trees for their sap. Today, New York has the largest population of tap-able maple trees in the country and more than 2,000 maple sugar-makers statewide. You can experience this fascinating and delicious industry yourself during New York’s two Maple Weekend events taking place this weekend, March 17-18, and next weekend, March 24 and 25. Take a tour and sample some sweet treats at one of the many local sugar houses, and enjoy making these sweet treats with your fresh supply of local maple syrup! Treat your family, friends or coworkers to a delicious treat: maple cookies! Craig Gund’s recipe showcases that rich, golden maple flavor in a simple recipe that can easily be doubled. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease cookie sheets with vegetable oil or cooking spray. In a large bowl, cream 1 cup of softened butter and 1 cup of packed brown sugar. Add
1 egg, 1 cup of real maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract; mix well. In a separate bowl, sift together 4 cups of allpurpose flour, ½ teaspoon of salt and 2 teaspoons of baking soda. Stir into the syrup mixture until well blended. Shape the dough into 1 inch balls and place on a cookie sheet about 2 inches apart and flatten slightly. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes and let cool on a wire rack. Drizzle with a tasty glaze, if you like. Mix together 1 cup of powdered sugar, a few drops of maple extract (to taste) and a tablespoon of milk or more, to reach desired consistency. Drizzle the glaze on the cooled cookies and enjoy (makes about 5 dozen cookies). Easter is just two weeks away! Be sure to get some maple syrup this weekend to make your Maple-Peach Glazed ham for Easter dinner. This glaze recipe will cover a 7 to 9 pound cooked ham. Cover and bake your ham in a 325 degree oven in a shallow roasting pan. In a small saucepan, mix 2 cups of peach preserves or orange marmalade, ½ cup of real maple syrup, 1/3 cup of orange juice and, for an optional kick, 2 tablespoons of ground ancho chili pepper until well blended. Remove ¾ cup of the mixture for the glaze. After the ham has been cooking for about 2 hours, remove it from the oven and brush with some of the glaze. Bake, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes longer, brushing occasionally with
the remaining glaze. Bring the remaining preserve mixture in the saucepan to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Serve as a sauce with the ham. Just like Laura in Little House on the Prairie, you too can have fun making maple syrup snow candy right in your own backyard! Also known as snow taffy, this treat is easy and fun, but does require some adult supervision, as it involves the stove! To get started, find an area of clean snow outside and pack down this area so that it is firm enough to hold the hot syrup. Next, heat 1 cup of 100% pure maple syrup in a small pot until boiling. Once it is boiling, the syrup will start to bubble; keep boiling and check with a candy thermometer until it reaches the “soft ball” stage (235 to 240 degrees). Remove the pot from the heat and head outside! Pour the syrup in lines on the snow. Press a popsicle stick into the syrup and as the syrup is cooling, roll it around the stick to make maple syrup candy pops! You can also pour small puddles of syrup on the snow to make individual pieces of this delicious candy.
Visit us in our new sugarhouse and enjoy all the scents and tastes of the season.
Sample and watch sweet treats being made from maple, including: • maple candy • maple cream • maple mustard • maple ice cream • maple fluff and more!

Look Back Continued from front page
Everywhere I looked in the archives of newspapers and journals that we have at the Lucy Bensley Center, Anna’s name pops up over and over again, on the Morton Corner’s Cemetery Assc., the hospital board; she also was assisting the aging population of the town and the Universalist Church committee— every week her name seemed to be in the paper.
Anna may have only lived 84 years, but I feel like she accomplished more than the average person did. She was a leader, that people wanted to join along with and work with. I wanted to remember her during this month. History is never forgotten, our deeds will live on after us. What will you be remembered for?
