Rose, Pazzuti Elected to Village Board
Elise Rose
Kim Pazzuti
By Rich Place
The Springville Village Board will have two new faces when it convenes for its reorganizational meeting in early April. Elise Rose and Kim Pazzuti, both newcomers to village politics, defeated incumbent Terry Skelton in the race for two trustee seats. The other seat was vacated by Robert Moriarty, who did not seek re-election. Mayor Bill Krebs was re-elected to his fourth term after running unopposed for his seat. “I just want to say thank you to everyone who came out and supported me,” Rose said on Wednesday from behind the counter at her business, Sheret Jewelers. “I look forward to learning this new role in serving the community.” Rose earned the most votes on Tuesday with 223, Pazzuti earned 212 and Skelton garnered 193 votes. Pazzuti, Skelton and Krebs had run together as the For Springville Party; Rose had campaigned under the Revitalize Springville Party. “(I’m) filled with mixed emotions because Terry Skelton won’t be sitting alongside me,” Pazzuti said, “but very excited for this new adventure that seems to take place immediately.” Skelton, who had most recently served as deputy mayor, was first appointed to the village board in 2008 to fill a vacancy and soon became one of the veteran members of the board. The Springville Village Board will host its reorganizational meeting on Monday, April 2, where Krebs, Rose and Pazzuti will be sworn into office. The new trustees will join Alan Chamberlin and Nils Wikman on the board. Rose is a 2004 graduate of Springville-Griffith Institute and will be the youngest trustee on the village board. The election day win came on her birthday on Tuesday. She and her husband, MIke, have three small
School Security Subject of SGI Board Meeting
By Rich Place
From school security enhancements already completed by the Springville-Griffith Institute Central School District to technology that could continue to improve it, the SGI School Board on Tuesday heard a presentation from law enforcement officers on the topic. About two dozen community members joined the school board in listening to Tony Olivo, director of investigative services at Corporate Screening and Investigative (CSI) Group; Sgt. Thomas Kelly of New York State Police Emergency Management; and Deputy Frank Simmeth, a school resource officer
helped discover ways the school could immediately improve its security. For example, all staff are now required to wear identification at all times, all doors must be locked See SGI Board page 12
49 Coffee House Now Open By Alicia Dziak
If you’re looking for your daily dose of caffeine and deliciousness, look no further than 49 Coffee House & Eatery, which officially opened its doors last weekend. The building, which also houses Molly’s Creative Cuts, was purchased in late 2016 by Greg Beatty, his cousin, Kevin Buncy, and Kevin’s wife, Lindsay, all SGI grads. Named after its location at 49 East Main St. in the heart of downtown Springville, 49 Coffee House is a result of hard work and determination after months of renovations and a vision. “Lindsay is a coffee fanatic and liked the idea of a coffee shop,” said Kevin of their decision to open a business in Springville. He said, and Beatty agreed, that there was never a question of whether they would end up in Springville after graduating from high school.

The Stories Quilts Tell
March 30-April 6 Spring Break
By Jolene Hawkins
Look back upon the designs and unique qualities of some of the quilts that have been donated to the Concord Historical Society by the local families and you’ll be amazed. The quilt you see in the photograph belonged to Mrs. Florence Childs and was made in 1836 by her great-great-great-aunt, Pantha Woolcott. The wool was gathered from their own sheep, dyed and spun and then used in creating this spread using Jacquard weave. It’s called a double rose pattern and we believe this might have been her masterpiece, as her name is on two corners of the quilt.

from the Erie County Sheriff’s Office who serves the district. “I felt it was important that we reach out to everyone within our school community because school safety is not something any one of us can do alone,” said Superintendent Kimberly Moritz. “It truly takes every member of our school community in making good decisions in the event — God forbid — of an emergency like that at Springville-Griffith Institute. I hate to have a discussion about a school shooting, but I don’t know how we don’t.” The presentation — which lasted over an hour and a half — included information on some ways technology can further improve school

Many pioneer families had looms for weaving suiting, blankets and carpeting. When these looms had four frames carrying heddles with warp threads strung through them, they could produce both plain weave and twill weave, which is more suitable for clothing because it conforms more closely to a wearer’s body. These looms could also produce simple geometric patterns for coverlets and tablecloths.

Fancy weaving refers to fabrics — usually to coverlets — with intricate designs. The looms that could produce such designs had either a Jacquard attachment with punched cards that controlled the position of each warp thread to form the pattern, or a cylinder studded with pegs that controlled the location of each warp thread for every woof thread added.

LOCAL News New Patio Homes in Springville
East Hill Villas Open House Saturday By Alicia Dziak
While patio homes are a popular style of housing in other parts of the country, and even in the northtowns of Western New York, they are not typically seen in Springville. But that’s about to change thanks to the new East Hill Villas being built by B&B Homes. “Over the years, we were approached by ‘empty nesters’ looking for a different housing option, something all on one floor,” said Bill Gugino, owner of B&B Homes, of filling a need for this type of housing in the village. B&B Homes has been in Springville for 20 years, although Gugino has worked in the business for 40 years. The company builds homes all over WNY, from Chautauqua Lake to Ellicottville to right here in Springville. East Hill Villas, located on East Hill Run Road off Route 39, will consist of 26 homes — 22 will be “attached” style, with two homes sharing a common wall, and the remaining four which will be detached. The attached units will be 1,200 to 1,300 square feet. The detached style will be 1,300 to 1,800 square feet. The villas will be available in two and three-bedroom options, and feature two full bathrooms, a laundry room, full basement, attached garage, open floor plan, covered front porch and covered rear patio.

Village Board Approves Budget, Retail Overlay District Changes By Rich Place
The Springville Village Board on Monday unanimously approved the $3.4 million budget for its upcoming fiscal year with a 1.6 percent tax increase. The public was presented the budget earlier in the month by Mayor Bill Krebs, and the board on Monday held little discussion following its approval. The tax levy is set at $1.76 million, or $17.26 per $1,000. The village’s fiscal year runs June 1 to May 31. Adoption of the budget came following a public hearing on the adoption of changes to the retail overlay district at LandPRO Equipment’s property at the corner of Vaughn and North streets following recommendation from the Village Planning Board. Three members
of the public spoke at the hearing, including Kevin Manchester, who lives next to LandPRO, and Tim Black, who represented LandPRO. Manchester voiced concern about the buffer between his property and LandPRO, stating the owners “haven’t really lived up to their end of the bargain to be good neighbors.” Black said he was “sorry to hear about the buffer issue” and noted the company did plant trees to help create a buffer between the two properties. “We can plant more, we don’t have a problem with that,” he said. “We are willing to do whatever.” The changes, which include exceptions of “agricultural retail or wholesale business” to some specifics of the retail
overlay code including allowing outdoor storage, was approved by the village board. The meeting on Monday was the final one — at least for this current term — for trustee Robert Moriarty. All village board members and the mayor thanked him for his service at the conclusion of the meeting. “I want to thank the residents for giving me the opportunity to represent them,” Moriarty said. “I also want to thank everybody here in attendance — in some way, different ways, through the last four years you have all been very supportive and offered guidance and I appreciate that very much.” He also thanked his wife and children for their support and said his decision not to seek reelection “doesn’t mean he
won’t ever return” to the village board. The board also held a discussion about a tree at M&T Park on East Main Street that had previously been regarded as “diseased” at the Feb. 20 meeting. At that meeting, village administrator Liz Melock noted in her report the tree needed to be removed. Mayor Krebs, however, said after doing some research he discovered the tree is not diseased but is instead being crowded by the other trees on either side. “I think we should hold off from taking that tree down right away,” he told the board. “I think we should maybe look at it in the summer. It’s not in danger of falling down, it’s not sick.” The board voted to not
cut the tree down. “As we go down the line if there is a consensus on the board or something that tree is so ugly that it should come down, alright I guess that’s the decision,” Krebs said. IN OTHER BUSINESS, the board: announced its reorganization meeting on April 2 will also include a informational presentation on the TAP Grant Project on a bike walk project for the village. The public is invited to come and learn more about the project, which is in the preliminary design phase. approved a $300 donation from the Springville Kiwanis Club in the form of 100 $3 coupons for Springville Dairy. The coupons will be handed out by Springville Village Police Department

The four laws in the legislation call for the creation of funding opportunities for school districts to provide school resource officers, as well as adjust earning limitations and peace officer status for retired officers. The next meeting of the Springville Village Board will be held at 7 p.m. Monday, April 2 on the second floor at 65 Franklin St. It will be the board’s reorganizational meeting and will begin with the presentation on the Springville Bike Walk Enhancement Project by Watts Engineering.

Goodridge Receives Three Awards
By Alicia Dziak
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 44pts.
It might be hard to believe when you look outside at the snow, but the SGI spring softball season is now underway. The program is led by varsity coach Kim Pazzuti (who was just this week elected as Springville Village trustee). Pazzuti, a teacher at Springville Elementary School, is returning as a softball coach in the district for the fifth year. She previously coached at the modified level for three years, at the JV level for one, and this will be her first season coaching varsity. She brings to the position a clear love of the game, having played in high school, competing at

sectionals at West Point, and playing in a couple adult leagues. After a couple weeks of practice under their belts, the varsity team has been busy preparing for the upcoming season. “Currently, there are 11 girls on the varsity softball team,” Pazzuti said. The team includes four seniors. Morgan DePue will be playing in the outfield; Sarah Kester will play in two positions as pitcher and third base; Sydney Rosati will play first base; and Ryan Stedman will play second base. Adding to that is four juniors: Olivia Fisher as outfield or catcher; Amy Stabell as outfield or catcher; Meadow Wittman as shortstop; and Nicole Sacilowski as center outfield. Rounding out the team are three freshmen called up from JV. Kaitlyn Wolf will pitch or play third base; Marin Lehr will play in the outfield; and Meghan Rehrauer will play where there is a need. “One of our strengths
will be having four seniors returning,” Pazzuti said. “Our defense will be very strong and the knowledge that the girls bring to the game is huge. Many have played travel softball and have joined the SYI softball program. So many are playing beyond our program keeping their skills sharp.” Pazzuti anticipates Maryvale being the toughest competition. “They always seem to turn out a strong team at every level,” she noted. While the current weather outside is not the most conducive to softball, Pazzuti and her team are making the best of it and utilizing school gym facilities. “Each practice I like to start with dynamic warm ups run by our captains,” she explained. “Then we will move into our throwing progression. Next, we do several defensive drills (fielding, pop ups, situations, run downs) and drills that help with conditioning. Finally, our second half of practice we go into our offense drills
breaking up in different hitting drills working on eye hand coordination, timing, and each part of our swing. One station is our live hitting where the girls are pitched to by Coach Stedman. Once they have all gone through the stations we ask our pitchers and catchers to go into the cage and the girls will take a few pitches each.” All of the hard work indoors and eventually outdoors, will help the team reach their potential. “Some of our goals are to play as a team on and off the field, give 100 percent, be a committed player, and have fun!” Pazzuti said. The girls are scheduled to scrimmage as early as next week, with games starting the week after spring break. “The weather certainly affects our season if we can’t get our games in then they start piling up. We are hopeful the weather will break and we will have a dryer spring,” Pazzuti said. Visit www.springvillegi. org for the schedule. Go Lady Griffs!

The Springville Waves Aquatic Team (SWAT) held its annual banquet on March 15 at the Springville High School. Fortyseven swimmers, family members and a proud coaching staff celebrated another successful season of practices at the SGI High School pool and competitive meets at pools around Western New York. After six months of hourlong practices, offered three nights each week, parents
and coaches could notice changes in their student swimmers. Whether they were a brand new SWAT member or returning Golds’ champions, these swimmers were faster, smoother, and most importantly, more confident in the water. Coaches took turns calling up each swimmer to the podium. There, they talked about individual progress and special characteristics that each athlete brings to the SWAT program.
Signups for next season will take place in October 2018. Swimmers who participated in the Niagara LSC Short Course Championships at the Webster Aquatic Center on March 8-11 were recognized at the end of the banquet. Carley Delaney, Asa Cerasani, Jr. and Garrett Casey (pictured above) competed in this event, which is referred to as the “Golds.”

A HEALTHIER 2018 YOU
The World of Marathons Holiday Concerts By Carlee Frank
Often times we think of marathon runners as the pinnacle of health and fitness. They run 26.2 miles without breaking a sweat and laugh in the face of a 5K race. The reality is that marathon runners come in all shapes and sizes. Some reach the finish line with graceful form, while others collapse as soon as they break the tape. No matter the execution, each runner shares their choice to train hard to complete a millennia-long tradition. The legend of the marathon began in 490 BC in Athens, Greece. The Athenians were under attack from a Persian army that outnumbered them five to one. To prevent any Persian advancement, the Athenians took a stand at Marathon – a narrow plain by the sea from which they could block the road to Athens, according to Runner’s World magazine. Two battles ensued at Marathon and, surprisingly, the Athenians reigned victorious. However, the remaining Persians then began sailing towards an undefended Athens, so the entire Athenian army at Marathon ran 26.2 miles to the capitol and defeated the Persian army again. Nowadays, marathons are not nearly as perilous. Many runners dress in costumes and face paint. In 2016, the New Yorker did a piece on the rise of costumed marathon running, saying it started with amateur races such as the Bay to Breakers in San Francisco, Calif., and was spurred on by social media. Nevertheless, marathons are run by a myriad of personalities, races and genders. However, until 1967 when Katherine Switzer — a 20-year-old at Syracuse University — registered for the Boston Marathon under the name K.V. Switzer, women were not allowed to run marathons. At the time, the Washington Post reported that a few miles into the race, Jock Semple, the marathon co-director, attempted to physically remove Switzer from the race but was restrained by other male runners. Switzer finished the race and went on to champion the female right to run in marathons and to eventually allow women’s running in the Olympics. Along with the Boston Marathon, there are other world famous races such as the Athens Authentic Marathon, Great Wall Marathon, Dublin Marathon and the New York City Marathon, which had 50,530 runners in recent years. The most popular United States-based marathons cost upwards of $180, but there are many shorter races that are more affordable. Half marathons are 13.6 miles long and are offered in most U.S. cities. There are also 5K races — at 3.2 miles long — that are usually themed events. For example, there are color runs based on the Indian and Nepali tradition of Holi — or the Festival of Colors — during which buckets of powdered paint are thrown all over the runners. There are even bouncy house 5Ks, hot chocolate runs and many races that bring awareness to social issues. And if simply running is not challenging enough, runners can register for Spartan races or the Tough Mudder, which are half-marathon length obstacle courses. All of this may be interesting, but still, why would anyone want to run around a city for no reason, right? Well, running has amazing health benefits. Daniel Pendick of the Harvard Medical School said, “Marathoners are the thoroughbreds of high-performance runners, but even the draft horses of the running world — slow and steady joggers — improve their health.” Multiple studies have found that even five to 10 minutes of low-impact running each day can prolong your life by several years, according to Harvard Medical. Running can also improve cardiovascular health, joint mobility, eliminate visceral fat and combat symptoms of depression. So, whether you feel inspired to begin training for an upcoming marathon or to start jogging three times a week, it may just add on years to your life!

Welcome to Springville Podcast Launched For Residents’ Listening Pleasure
By Rich Place
49 Coffee Continued from front page
“There’s so much potential here,” Kevin said of being in downtown Springville. The trio began major renovations on the building and, in addition to the coffee house, luxury apartments are planned for the second floor, which Beatty and Buncy hope will be completed by summer. 49 Coffee House boasts not only a wide selection of coffee and tea, but also baked goods from up and coming baker Annie Coe, known for her Cupcaked storefront which opened last year in the heart of Ellicottville. Kevin explained that when the trio began looking for local bakers to partner with, Lindsay reached out to Coe. “She was super friendly and interested in working with us,” Kevin said. The initial conversation led to an impressive assortment of baked goods that will be regularly stocked by Coe, including a variety of tasty cupcakes and cake pops, signature blueberry lemon and orange cranberry scones, as well as gluten free options like brownies with vanilla or peanut butter frosting and giant cookies. Coe is not the only local vendor the 49 Coffee staff will be working with. Once their full food menu is available, which Beatty and Buncy said will be in a couple weeks, they will be working with local barbecue legend Jake Cranston of Jake and the Fatman, who will supply the pulled pork for a specialty sandwich that includes pork with Jake’s signature BBQ sauce, topped with housemade mac and cheese and pickles on sourdough bread. Other mouth-watering sandwich selections include three paninis made with

waffles instead of bread — Buffalo chicken, blueberry and BLT with pesto. “All three are incredible,” Kevin said. The syrup for the sweet paninis will soon be supplied by Jake Miller, who owns Jake’s Greenhouse in East Concord. The syrup will also be incorporated into other food items such as maple coleslaw. Of course, a coffee house is known for its beverages, and 49 Coffee takes pride in using locally roasted coffee beans sourced from Golden Cup Coffee in Buffalo. Kevin explained that their house blend, called 1808 The Settler, is named after the first permanent settler in Springville. The mediumroast coffee is an Ethiopian/ Honduras mix, and is available in bags to take home as well. Another popular option is the Nitro Cold Brew, which is brewed at room temperature for 14 hours, infused with nitrogen and poured from a tap. The result is a creamy, carbonated strong brew, with a head much like that on a glass of stout beer. 49 Coffee also offers
loose leaf tea, fruit smoothies, bottled beverages, decaf options and, in the future, might work toward making their own soda. While Kevin also owns and runs a painting business, he plans to work at the coffee house in the afternoons and evenings, and both Lindsay and Beatty will be there full time, and also have assistance from two current employees. Opening weekend proved to be a success. “There were rushes of people. It was great,” said Kevin. Among the short-term goals, Kevin and Beatty agree that perfecting the food, adding Monday hours and bringing on another employee top the list. 49 Coffee House is open Tuesdays-Fridays, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturdays, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m; and Sundays, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. For now, they are closed on Mondays, but agree that there is a strong possibility that will change in the near future. To keep up to date on all of their happenings, visit their Facebook page or following them on Instagram (@49coffeehouse).
There’s a new way for area residents to be more engaged in the Springville community — all through the comfort of their cell phones or computers and at a time that’s most convenient to them. The Welcome to Springville podcast, launched in February by local residents Kara Kane and Jessica Schuster, has already featured field trips, in-depth interviews and friendly conversation about the community they love. So what’s a podcast? Essentially, it’s an audio recording an individual can stream online or download onto their phone — there’s an app to help them with that — and listen to whenever they’d like. It’s like a radio show on demand and there are podcasts for seemingly any interest. “I think there is space for this kind of outlet in the community and I just hope everybody ... appreciates the mission we are on: to highlight the really awesome things that happen around here,” Schuster said. A self-admitted auditory learner, Schuster got the idea for a Springvillethemed podcast after local radio station WSPQ originally announced it would close at the end of last year. With the community’s only true audio outlet gone before it was recently purchased, Schuster said she saw a void. “Podcasts are something I’ve always fully embraced because they just make sense to me,” she said. “I’m almost always multitasking and it’s really nice to have whatever information I want for the day coming directly into my ears, which means it goes to my brain and I could do other things.” Together, Schuster and Kane — both administrators of the popular Be Neighborly
Springville Area group on Facebook — looked into podcasting and, realizing the financial requirement was minimal, found a way to edit and save audio files and get them published. In the last month, they’ve taken field trips to Blue Sky Wellness and the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library, interviewed village trustee candidates and local author Jan Freeman and recorded the recent scoping informational meeting at Springville Center for the Arts. Audio recordings of all these adventures, complemented with friendly chats about local events and businesses, are now all available on demand. “I think we are lucky we are in an area that is never void of content,” Schuster said. “We both like to learn and what better things to learn about than things that are just around you,” Kane added. “Why not talk to people we know — or want to know — and who are making this community a better place?” The podcast also begins and ends with local music from area musicians, giving these artists another way to showcase their work. Schuster, who also serves on the SGI School Board of Education, said it was a group of students at a school board presentation who inspired her to look into the ease of creating a podcast. The pair each carry some kind of audio recording device — a digital voice recorder or their cell phones — and hit record. The file is uploaded to a computer, music is added and some edits are made to eliminate “weirdness,” as Kane called it. “You don’t need to invest thousands of dollars in equipment,” she said. “We’ve invested literally dozens of dollars into this.”
And as far as the time spent on the endeavor is concerned, Kane said she thinks it’s time her and Schuster would have been spending doing something for the community anyway. “You make time for things that are important. I’m sitting at my computer editing this instead of watching Food Network,” Kane said, adding, “or maybe I’m watching Food Network at the same time and it’s just on low (volume).” So far, listeners have ranged from “a couple dozen to a couple hundred,” Kane said. Going forward, they hope to increase the amount of people who subscribe to the podcast, which allows for the podcast to be automatically downloaded on a cell phone when a new episode becomes available. And who knows what the pair have in store for future episodes? Audio archives of meetings could be available, they could take another field trip or they could interview another area resident who is making Springville a better place to live. “Broadly speaking, I hope this podcast is successful,” Schuster said. “How you define that success, I’m not exactly sure yet.” To listen and subscribe to the podcast on a smartphone, search “Welcome to Springville” on a podcast app. Episodes can also be listened to on a computer by visiting welcometospringville. podbean.com. To interact with Schuster and Kane and to get the latest information about the podcast, visit welcometospringville. wordpress.com, visit them at facebook.com/ welcometospringville or email them, welcometospringville@ gmail.com.

EVENTS & Entertainment Celebrate the Season: Make Your Own Easter Candy By Mary Heyl
Anyone with young children has probably been asked: Why does the Easter bunny bring eggs, even though bunnies don’t lay eggs? In many cultures around the world, the egg is a symbol of new life and rebirth. The traditional Christian celebration of Easter symbolizes the resurrection of Christ with the Easter egg: the hard shell represents the sealed Tomb of Christ and cracking the shell represents Christ’s resurrection. Historically, Christians would abstain from eating eggs and meat during Lent, and Easter was the first chance to eat them after 40 days. Even if you don’t plan on cracking a few hard boiled eggs this Easter, surely you will enjoy a candy egg or two. Why not give the Easter bunny a hand this year and make your own candy eggs? Get started by making Crunchy Chocolate Eggs with Taste of Home’s easy test-kitchen verified recipe! In a heavy
saucepan, combine 1 cup of packed brown sugar, 1 cup of light corn syrup and 1 cup of peanut butter (low fat variety is not recommended). Cook and stir over medium heat until smooth. Remove from the heat; stir in 2 cups of cornflakes, 2 cups of crisped rice cereal and ½ cup of finely chopped peanuts. When the mixture is cool enough to handle, drop by tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Form into egg shapes and refrigerate until firm. In the microwave, melt 3 ¾ cups of semisweet chocolate chips and 1 ½ teaspoons of shortening in a bowl; stir until smooth. Dip the eggs in the chocolate mixture; allow excess to drip off. Place the eggs on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Decorate with candy sprinkles and let stand until set. This recipe makes about 4 ½ dozen eggs to share… or eat! So much Easter candy, so little time! Who can make it out of the grocery store
without a few bags of pastelcolored chocolate candies or eggs? Put these candies and your imagination to good use with these easy edible Easter Egg nests! Find your favorite sugar cookie recipe or a pouch of sugar cookie mix and mix according to the recipe or package instructions while the oven is preheating. Shape the dough into 36 (1 ¼” ) balls or more and place in ungreased mini muffin cups. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until the edges are light golden brown. Immediately, press an indentation into each with the end of a wooden spoon (not your thumb—cookies are hot!). Cool completely in the pan for about 30 minutes. Remove the cookies to a serving plate. Make your own frosting or scoop some ready-made frosting into a plastic bag. Cut off the corner and squeeze about 2 teaspoons of frosting onto each cookie cup. Fill your mini baskets with whatever mini candies you like! Add a few drops of green food coloring to shredded coconut for Easter grass and fill with mini
chocolate eggs, gummy worms, and more! For many candy lovers, Easter isn’t complete without peanut butter eggs! Why not make your own this year and enjoy to your heart’s content—this recipe makes more than 5 dozen eggs! In a mixing bowl, beat 1 package (8 oz) of softened cream cheese, ½ cup of softened butter, 1 jar (17.3 oz) of creamy peanut butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Beat in 1 package (2 pounds) of confectioners’ sugar. Form rounded tablespoonfuls into egg shapes and place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Chill for 30 minutes. In a microwave-safe bowl or heavy saucepan, melt 6 cups (36 oz) of semisweet chocolate chips and 1/3 cup of shortening; stir until smooth. Dip the eggs until coated; place on waxed paper to harden. For more decorative eggs, place about ¼ cup of melted chocolate in a small plastic bag. Cut a hole in the corner and pipe chocolate over the tops of the eggs. Store the eggs in the refrigerator (if you can make them last that long!).
General Lee’s AideDe-Camp to be Portrayed at March 28 Presentation A visit by Lt. Col. Charles Marshall portrayed by Henry Pogodzinski will be the subject of this month’s Civil War themed presentation at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 28 at the Lucy Bensley Center in Springville. Marshall was General Robert E. Lee’s aide-de-camp from 1862 to 1865. “He is considered an authority on southern military operations in Virginia,” Pogodzinski explained. “Marshall’s principal duties at Lee’s headquarters consisted of drafting official reports and other documents in helping to manage an enormous flow of correspondence. He possessed a temper that flashed in reaction to perceived incompetence and enjoyed a good natured association with the commanding general.” This is Pogodzinski’s second recent visit the Lucy Bensley Center, as he hosted a highly attended portrayal as a Civil War medical steward last September. The Lucy Bensley Center is located at 23 N. Buffalo St. in Springville. The presentation is part of a monthly series hosted by Echoes Through Time Learning Center in conjunction with The Western New York Civil War Society. Meetings are held the last Wednesday of each month. Admission is free and the public is welcome to attend. Donations will be accepted for the Civil War Preservation Trust. Light refreshments will be served and door prizes will be awarded. For additional information, contact Tom Place, curator at Echoes Through Time, at (716) 957-2740 or Jolene Hawkins at the Lucy Bensley Center at (716) 592-0094.

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 just throw out old electronics when you get a new one? Well I think you should recycle old electronics. I think E-waste (electronic waste) should be recycled because the materials in them can be dangerous and take up a lot of room in landfills. I suggest that because, electronics contain materials that can be dangerous and if you just throw them out they could lead to pollution. An article says, “ The old electronics can become pollution… Some contain materials that are dangerous.” This quote proves that old electronics that you throw out can become pollution. As you can see, E-waste is bad for the earth. Another reason I think E-waste should be recycled is because E-waste takes up most of the room in landfills. In the text it says, “ 70% of landfills are from E-waste.” This quote means a lot of landfills don’t have very much room in them for other things that you do throw out if electronics take up all the space in them. I feel that people are throwing out E-waste to much and that is bad for the earth. In conclusion, I think you should recycle E-waste. If you do something small like that it can make a big impact on the world. Sincerely, Mason Hody Dear Readers, Do you ever get an assignment where you don’t understand it or just really not want to do it? I believe that if students choose their own assignments they can take ownership over it and will complete them better. I think students should because it is more fun and it is more fun for teachers. To begin with, I think that if you choose your projects assignments will be more fun. I feel that if you choose your projects you can be more interested in them and get better grades. In the article it says, “ They can’t complain that it is too boring because they chose it.’’ I chose this quote because I feel that it really expresses how I feel about this topic. As you can see if you choose what you do, you enjoy it more. Another reason is if students do different projects it is more fun to grade for teachers. When teachers grade more creative projects usually you get better grades. I think that if they grade the same thing over and over again they get bored and do not give as good of grades. In the text it says that, “ As a teacher grading diverse projects is more interesting.” I chose this quote because if I was a teacher I would not want to grade the same thing. As you can see choices can make a student more successful in the future. For all of these reasons, I feel that students should indeed get a choice on assignments. In conclusion, I think that next time I get an assignment my teacher should give me a choice. Sincerely, Maggie Domst Dear Springville Times: Hey, mom I’m a hard worker and technology time everyday isn’t a bad idea. I think that I should have a curfew for my technology. I think time on social media should not be limited because I can make new friends and learn new and amazing things. I think we should have more tech time because, “ It enhances their creativity through the sharing of ideas, music, and art. “ I chose this quote because I think that technology sparks your imagination and creativity. All in all tech time shouldn’t be limited because of learning and education. I am a 10 year old boy that is tired of being told that I am limited on technology so I also think time on technology shouldn’t be limited because I can stay connected with family and friends. I agree with the text when it says, “ You can stay connected with friends and family.” I chose this quote because as a child technology is the only way to keep connected with my uncle. In Conclusion I feel strongly that time on social media should not be limited. All in all I think kids should not be limited with technology. Parents, please let your child or children use their technology when they want to. Sincerely, Kaleb Krencik

By Mary Heyl
It’s officially spring, which means spring cleaning, garden planning and home improvement projects are probably on your mind! Even though the weather is too cold and unpredictable for outdoor projects right now, it’s a great time of year to start that interior painting project! Whether you’re sprucing up your kitchen cabinets, repainting a few accent walls, or tackling a whole room, March is the perfect time of year to get out your brushes and get busy. While painting indoors is usually a much simpler task than exterior painting, there’s more to it than opening a gallon of paint and brushing it on the wall. Spending a small amount of time planning and prepping the surface can save a lot of time and money down the road and is certainly worth the trouble. After all, if this is a room you and your family spend a lot of time in— go the extra mile, since you’re going to be living in (and looking at!) this space every day. Longer stretches of daylight provide more time to paint and warmer
temperatures mean that windows can be cracked open for faster drying and ventilation—what are you waiting for? Head to your local home improvement or hardware store and pick up some paint samples. If you’re going for a more drastic color change, consider painting a piece of foam core board in each sample. Tack them on different walls throughout the day to get an idea of what the color will look like in the morning, afternoon and evening. This will help you narrow down your selection with a minimum investment of just a few samples rather than several non-returnable gallons of mixed paint. Once you’ve committed to a color, estimate the size of the room and plan to purchase one gallon of paint for every 400 square feet of wall space. Be sure to buy extra paint if the walls are texturized or unprimed. Even gallons of paint that have been purchased in a single transaction can still have a slight color variation due to the store’s color mixer. While color variation may not be noticeable upon first glance, any variation will be obvious on a large
wall in your living room. To remedy this, mix all of the paint together in a five-gallon bucket. Then, fit a roller screen into the bucket, which will eliminate the need to fill and refill paint trays. Paint doesn’t stick very well to dirty or dusty surfaces, so take the time to wipe everything down so that the paint will adhere to the surface evenly. High traffic areas, like the kitchen and living room, usually need some extra attention, as kitchen cabinets, baseboards, and doorways in these rooms frequently come into contact with oily or dirty hands. Use warm soapy water to wipe down these surfaces, and for baseboards and crown molding that are simply dusty, use an old paintbrush or china bristle brush to dust them before taping them. Now it’s time for the real work to begin! Pick up a nylon bristle brush for water-based latex paints (this is the majority of interior paints) and use a natural bristle paintbrush for oil-based paints, as the water-based paint will dry out these brushes. Tempting as it may be

SGI COMMUNITY
Budget, P-TECH Project Ready for Districtwide Vote in May By Rich Place
The SpringvilleGriffith Institute Board of Education on Tuesday paved the way for three propositions to be included on the ballot when district residents go to the polls during the annual school budget vote in mid-May. Following approval of a handful of separate resolutions, the ballot will feature the traditional budget resolution, a proposition to purchase school buses and a third proposition for the district to proceed with the recently discussed P-TECH capital project. The 2018-19 school budget — a $38.82 million spending plan with a 3.91 percent increase in the tax levy — was unanimously approved by board members. The rate is within the maximum allowable tax levy, according to school
business administrator Maureen Lee. The budget represents a $1.98 million increase compared to the current budget, and board members on Tuesday again discussed the increase in special education costs as well as traditional increases such as contractual obligations. A community member voiced concern at the beginning of the meeting about the special education cost increase, which Lee clarified later in the meeting. The students with disabilities line of the budget jumped from $3.78 million in 2017-18 to a projected $4.89 million next year. “In general yes, the BOCES budget is going up and the majority of it is because of ‘special ed’,” she told the board. “These are our most marginalized students and again, we
have no choice. We must educate them and we must do it according to state regulations and to their IEPs (Individualized Education Programs).” Both Lee and Superintendent Kimberly Moritz said they expect a favorable outcome from the state in terms of state aid, according to the latest reports and meetings with those familiar with the developments. Lee said an increase in Foundation Aid is already included in recent budget projections and, should the aid increase more than anticipated, less money could be used from reserve accounts or the money could be spent elsewhere. The bus proposition — commonplace on the annual school budget vote — would allow for the district to spend no more than $859,977 on an assortment of 10 buses
that is part of the school’s replacement cycle. The P-TECH project resolution, which will be the third proposition on the budget vote in May, asks for the public’s permission to proceed with a $14.73 million capital project in conjunction with Erie 2 BOCES and Alfred State to bring the program to Springville. P-TECH, which stands for Pathways in Technology Early College High School, is a fiveor six-year program for freshmen high school students that allows them to earn both a state Regents Diploma and an associate’s degree. School board member Chris Cerrone noted he was glad to see language in the resolution explain that the lease by the district to BOCES will “provide the District with a stream of rental payments sufficient
to cover the District’s anticipated ‘local share’ of the cost of the Project,” as stated in the resolution passed by the board. Moritz said information on the P-TECH project is planned to be included in the budget newsletter and other budget information for area residents prior to their vote in May. “I think it’s important that the taxpayers get that document and are educated on everything they are expected to vote on,” she said. She also stressed the importance of making sure the resolution is clear to taxpayers and not confused with the traditional budget vote. In other business at its Tuesday meeting, the SGI School Board approved a resolution approving the joint bidding of commodities with Erie 2 BOCES, essentially allowing the district to
partner with BOCES to bid on items that multiple districts will use. Lee called the program a “great cost savings.” The board also approved two field trip requests at its meeting — one allows the SGI’s Future Farmers of America (FFA) students to attend the NYSFFA Convention from May 17 to 19 in Rochester and a second that allows the Colden Elementary School fifth grade to travel to Camp Odosagih on June 14 and 15 for their Fifth Grade Outdoor Educational Experience. Due to spring break the first week of April, the next regular meeting of the SGI School Board will take place at 6:30 p.m. April 17 in the high school library media center.
to feel comfortable coming forward when they hear something or they don’t feel right about something and those type of things.” The psychological effects of lockdown drills was also discussed, and it was concluded that emphasizing such a procedure is a drill would help with anxiety that a drill could cause. “It’s not that we want the kids or the staff not to take it serious,” Kelly said. “We want them to take it serious and do it right. But when there is an actual lockdown, all they are going to hear is ‘lockdown, lockdown, lockdown’ and that sense of urgency is going to be that much higher of a threshold.” Allison Duwe, school board president, thanked officials for providing information on security and technology but also emphasized the every day well-being of the district’s students. “... How are we ensuring we are creating
a community where hopefully this would never happen?” she asked. “I am heartened by some of the work that has been happening in our schools around saying ‘does every kid in our schools feel connected to?’” Toward the end of the presentation, which was held on the same day of a school shooting at Great Mills High School in Maryland, Moritz said she hopes the district can bring the information shared at the meeting to its students. “Do you feel this conversation has gotten a little bit easier as we’ve moved along tonight?” she asked those community members in attendance. “I was super uncomfortable when this started. I think the fact we are talking about this very hard subject is something we need to do with our students also so that they can feel a little more comfortable and know OK this is what I need to be thinking about, this is what I need to do.”

and visitors are asked for identification upon entering, she said. Olivo said the CSI Group has done these security assessments for about 40 school districts across the state and consists of covert observation, sending people undercover into schools and reviewing policies and procedures. “The main thing I would do? Lock the door,” he said when asked about the most cost-effective ways to improve security. “That’s the cheapest solution I can give you — lock the doors, lock the classroom doors, wear your ID cards and don’t let the wrong people into the building. That’s cheap — it’s free.” Olivo also presented to the board a program CSI Group has worked with a French security team on that not only has facial recognition technology but also recognition of weapons. In video demonstrations, the board watched as cameras were able to identify a weapon

in someone’s hand and immediately send the image to authorities. The same premise works with faces, which can be put into a database and alert authorities if an unwanted individual is on school property. When asked about a cost, Olivo said it’s roughly $52 per student per year, or roughly $100,000 for a district the size of Springville. Moritz said part of the reason to have the conversation was to see the direction the board wants to go on school security — a topic that is being handled differently by districts all over the area, she said. “What you’ll see in the future is there are extra funds in the capital project because the bids were so favorable and there is also SMART Schools bond money — and our administrative team has heard me say that our number one priority with those funds is to take care
of the safety and security of our students,” Moritz said. Olivo credited the Springville school district with its proactive approach to school security and said the IP surveillance and security administrator at the district, a position held by Norm Johnson, is the only such position in any district he works with. “You’re very fortunate that you have a forward thinking team here,” Olivo said. “Norm is the only person I’ve ever run into in any of the school districts with a position like this. I wish every school district would do this: have somebody who owns the security and technology of the school district.” A portion of the conversation on Tuesday shifted to the school resource officer and his role in the district. Currently, Springville splits Simmeth’s time with North Collins Central School. Kelly pointed out the Springville school district is fortunate to have an
abundance of police in the immediate vicinity — from State Police barracks in Collins and Boston to the Erie County Sheriff’s Office substation and village police in Springville. The need and effectiveness of school resource officers was also addressed during the meeting. “Whenever we have a presentation, my first recommendation is an SRO in every school building,” said Kelly. “But it always comes down to money.” Senator Patrick Gallivan recently introduced legislation that would create funding opportunities for school districts to provide resource officers, as well as adjust earning limitations and peace officer status for retired officers. “The value of what they bring, you can’t put a dollar amount on it,” Olivo said of school resource officers. He later added, “they are building a relationship that will foster these children

intricate and required intelligence and experience to operate. Usually these skills were learned by apprentices and were passed on in families. Among our collections of items that have been donated to the Concord Historical Society are several woven and pieced quilts that were made by local families with so many talented ladies. Some of the quilts had stories themselves. Fabric was used from clothing that was falling apart and could not be worn anymore, or scraps of fabric that was left over and then cut into shapes of all sizes. Then a design was created using the small pieces of fabric, batting was added and the top and bottom were quilted together. Within the tiny scraps of fabric was a story: from the blanket of a baby, pieces of a wedding dress, part of grandfather’s tie, a jacket, where they came from, who they belong to, what happened to them.
