Happy Spring Break! By Alicia Dziak

What makes Springville a great place to live, work and play? With your help, we’ll feature good news from our village and surrounding area on our front page each week! As we’re out and about, we’ll discover more reasons why we love Springville and hope you’ll let us know of something to add to the list — no matter how big or small. Contact information will always be at the bottom of this column. We hope you enjoy and thanks for reading! • It was great to hear that after the election results rolled in last week, all the candidates went out to celebrate. And yes, that included Terry Skelton, who lost his seat in the threeway race. In the often cruel and unforgiving world of politics, seeing what are technically political opponents from different parties gathering together to celebrate the election result is definitely worth mentioning. • A welcomed sight was the public attendance and participation at the SGI School Board meeting that included a 110-minute presentation on safety and security. Not only were law enforcement officials on hand to present what they know, but civil dialogue with members of the community enlightened everyone about what is being done and what could be done going forward. A thumbs up to the school leadership for organizing it. Have good news to share? Email us at info@ springvilletimes.com or stop by our office at 65 E. Main St. in Springville.

A Look Back
Woman’s Relief Corps By Jolene Hawkins
Looking back into our past, did our foremothers do anything in their spare time besides cook, clean, raise a family, plant and work the garden or flower beds and preserve her food from the garden? Well, I went on a search through our local newspapers and found out why yes, indeed they did! Our foremothers started to work outside the house and we had several shopkeepers in our town — photographers, bakeries, hatmakers, dressmakers and telephone operators — who were women. And, of course, we cannot forget all the groups that were around then. In 1914, Springville had seven churches: Baptist, Catholic,
Episcopal, Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian and Universalist. Each one of these churches had committees and groups for the ladies to join, and we can not forget the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, as they boasted a large membership of 100 in 1907 here in Springville. As you read through these newspapers, you will see all of the acronyms and scratch your head and try to understand what they were. They included: • KOTM: Knights of the Maccabees; females were the Ladies of the Maccabees; • IOOF: Independent Order of Odd Fellows; females were the Rebekahs; • American Red Cross; • Free and Accepted
Masons; females were the Eastern Star; • Woman’s Club; • Flower Clubs; • Book Clubs; and • GAR: Grand Army of
the Republic; Females were the WRC, Woman’s Relief Corps. Each organization was See A Look Back page 14

Letter from the Editor Last weekend, my family and I spent a night at Allegany State Park. Spotty phone reception and no Wifi—just the four of us, lots of junk food, board games, a deck of cards and music. We hiked through the woods, we grabbed a fish fry at the in-park restaurant, and we sat around the table inside the cabin playing games and laughing for hours. To me, that is the epitome of family time and what I strive for whenever we can break away together. No distractions, just us. Whether you plan to stick around over spring break (and there are some seriously fun things to do around here!), or head out of town, the most important thing is to cherish every moment. I hope you have the most wonderful break—make it count! - Alicia Dziak, Managing Editor, Springville Times

The Springville Center for the Arts (SCA) has many activities planned for the upcoming months. Mark your calendars to attend one or all of the workshops and performances.
Vintage Fabric Journals April 7 If you dig deep into your linen closet or cedar chest, do you have a cherished piece of clothing? Whether it is a wedding dress, a christening gown, or even your father’s old house coat, SCA and Debra Eck will show you how to make a hand-made journal using your vintage fabric. The finished product will make a wonderful gift, the perfect place to collect photos, recipes, family stories and more. The workshop will take place on Saturday, April 7 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., with a lunch break. Book binding experience is not necessary, but hand sewing knowledge is helpful. The cost is $55 per student, or $49 for members. Call (716) 592-9038 to register. More information can be found at SpringvilleArts. org. Forward Into the Light: Songs of the Suffrage Movement April 13 New York State took a leading role in the American Women’s Suffrage Movement from 1848 until 1920 (when American women won the right to vote across the nation). Women’s suffrage supporters worked to educate the public with songs, speeches, lobbying, rallies and marches. SCA will present Forward into Light: Songs of the Suffrage Movement by Old Songs, Inc. on Friday, April 13 at 7:30 p.m. A folk-theater concert, musicians will share songs and dramatic narrative from humorous to poignant that will tell the story of how their efforts resulted in what is considered the most significant
achievement of women in the Progressive Era. It was the single largest extension of democratic voting rights in our nation’s history, and it was achieved peacefully, through democratic processes. The cast of nine includes Greg Artzner, Dan Duggan, Terry Leonino, Peggy Lynn, Annie Rosen, Bill Spence, Toby Stover, Susan Trump and George Wilson. Tickets are on sale for $15 presale by calling 716-592-9038, online at SpringvilleArts.org or $18 at the door. SCA Presents Annie in May Springville Players, Director Don Wesley and team are proud to announce the cast of their upcoming large scale production of Annie. The performances will take place on May 17-20, and May 25-27. Tickets are now available by calling (716) 592-9038 or at SpringvilleArts. org. Ticket prices are $15 general, $12 student and seniors, and $10 for groups of fifteen or more. Casting the show was very difficult, due to the very competitive turnout of over 85 people auditioning (61 of which were young people hoping for the role of an orphan). Actors cast in this production come from all over the Western New York area, including Springville, East Aurora, Holland, West Seneca, Hamburg,
Gowanda, Sanborn, Buffalo and Williamsville. Adult leads include Michele Calabro as Miss Hannigan, Kelly Campbell as Grace, Jeff Maris as Daddy Warbucks, Jonathan Horton as Rooster, and Tammy Catalano as Lily St. James. The orphans include Brooke Ruzycki as Molly, Emma Dolan as Pepper, Sadie Everhart as Duffy, Maggie Boyle as July, Megan Cassidy as Tessie, Anna Bartolini as Kate, and Sarah Touris as Annie. Also joining the cast in a variety of roles are: Erin Bellavia, Donna Bensted, Sue Fischbeck, Cory Golabeck, Mark Mendola, Pamela Morley, Cassandra O’Connell, Charles Weber, Jennifer Weber and Ted Winkle.

LOCAL News Skelton Wishes Luck to Village Board, Plans to Return In a three-way race for two seats on the village trustee, incumbent Terry Skelton earned the least amount of votes during the election last week and won’t be back on the Springville Village Board when it reorganizes early next week. But that doesn’t mean it’s the end of the political road for Skelton, who had most recently served as deputy mayor. “I’ll be back,” Skelton said following the election. “I still have gas in my tank and when the next election comes around, if I feel I can contribute positively to our board, I will decide to run again.” Skelton had served on the village board since he was appointed to fill a vacancy in 2008. This year he had campaigned with Mayor Bill Krebs and Kim Pazzuti, another trustee candidate who will begin her first term next month, as part of the For Springville independent party. Elise Rose, who ran as part of the Revitalize
Springville party, earned the most votes in the trustee race for the other seat on the board. The second seat was vacated by Robert Moriarty, who did not seek re-election. Although yard signs featured Krebs, Pazzuti and Skelton all listed together, Skelton said there certainly wasn’t any mudslinging during the campaign and described the race as “very friendly.” In fact, all the candidates celebrated together on election night after voting concluded. “I was running on experience and she was running on fresh ideas,” Skelton said about Rose. “We were all friendly with each other. We all want what is right for Springville.” Rose and Pazzuti, both newcomers to village politics, earned 223 and 212 votes, respectively. Skelton wasn’t far behind with 193 votes. A total of 343 people came out to vote, according to data provided by the village. In email correspondence with the Springville Times,

Boys’ Tennis Ready to Hit the Court
By Alicia Dziak
Among the handful of spring sports offered at SGI is boys’ tennis, coached by SES teacher Frank Noeson, returning to the position for the 14th year. A total of 25 boys make up the team, who began practicing March 12. This year’s team consists of four seniors, five juniors, six sophomores, one freshman, three eighth graders, two seventh graders and four managers ranging from grades 5-7. With only seven of the 25 returning from last year, they bring a variety of experience and strengths to the team. “First and foremost, probably one of our greatest strengths is the character of the athletes on this year’s team,” Noeson said. “We have a few upperclassmen returning who are great role models and leaders both on and off of the court. Michael Spagnola, Matt Sion and Wyatt Cudney are a few of the hardest working kids you’ll find.” Noeson elaborated: “Michael Spagnola is the projected 1st singles player this year. He was selected as a First-Team Division 4 All-Star last year. We moved up into Division 3 this season, so it’s a bit more difficult to predict how he’ll do, but our expectations of Michael are high. Matt and Wyatt both were doubles players last season, and will be battling for singles positions or leading some of our starting doubles teams. We have three eighth graders returning from last season who all were in the starting line up at various points throughout last season. Connor Hughey, Grant Karb and Scott Russell all made tremendous improvements last season and are already demonstrating in practice that they’re ready to continue to be a part of our starting lineup. Sean Lux is also returning to the team this year and continues to improve and will be a doubles player this season.” In addition, there are a couple players returning to the team after a year or two off who Noeson said have picked right back up where they left. “Maxx Solly and Jackson Richert both took a couple years off to try other sports,” he explained. “Maxx should contend for a singles position, while Jackson is currently on the heels of our starting doubles teams.” The remainder of the boys are completely new to tennis. “We have a tremendous amount of athleticism this year,” Noeson stated. “A lot of them are picking up on the fundamentals at an incredible rate. Combine that with their natural athleticism and they have a lot of potential for upcoming years.” Heading into the season, improvement throughout the season is the number one goal. “There’s a very wide range of ability levels on the team, so personal growth is the first for everyone,” said Noeson. “As a team, we’d obviously like to compete for a top division spot, but with moving to Division 3, we’re not sure what to expect.” The slowly-melting snow has been a bit of an obstacle, but Noeson said, “We’re able to get some hitting reps in the gym, but obviously it’s not like being outdoors. Hopefully the weather breaks sooner than later!” The boys’ first match is scheduled for Tuesday, April 10. Stay tuned to the Springville Times or visit springvillegi.org for the complete schedule.

As surely as the first day of spring in Western New York is often a misleading date on the calendar, the same can be said about the opening days of spring sports. Because despite what the weather looks like outside, the SGI varsity baseball team is scheduled to play its opening game of the season on Monday, April 9 at Concord Town park against Depew. And before that, they need to practice. A stubborn snow accumulation on the ground and below average temperatures this month certainly haven’t helped area baseball teams prepare for their upcoming seasons. “The tough part about right now is you can’t do any defensive stuff inside,” said SGI varsity baseball coach Joel Lux. “You can throw the ball around a little bit and field some ground balls — but to go into all your plays and stuff, you have to be outside to do that.”
Lux enters his first year as head coach for the SGI varsity baseball team, having served as junior varsity coach for three of the last four years. He’s also served as a coach on the youth baseball leagues. “A lot of the kids that are coming through right now are kids I started coaching when they were small,” he said. “That definitely helps.” Coaching at the little league level often allows coaches to identify the best positions for the young athletes, and by the time they are at the varsity level, they focus on that position, Lux said. The Griffins come into the 2018 season as a relatively young team; Lux said they only lost about three starting seniors and the team only has about that many again this year. When asked to identify some players on the team that will be ones to watch, Lux named one, and then another, and then another. “There’s quite a few
players on the team that could have really good years,” he ended up stating. “They are all pretty good pitchers.” Many of the players who were key in the Griffins’ season and their playoff loss last year — Shaun Wright, Austin Lux, Jarrett Wolf, Dan Robertson and Evan Elkins, among others — will be returning again this season. “Last year, they were smaller guys and this year they’ve kind of grown up and they are forces at the plate too,” Lux said. “(Last year) they hit well, but now they’ve got the power to go with it.” Voluntary practice for pitchers began in January, and practice remains inside the gymnasium as batting practice ensues. “(It seems) every single year, the last week right before you starting playing games, you are finally able to get outside,” Lux said. “Then you have scrambling long practices to get through everything
defensively before the season starts.” Lux said 10 players on the team can pitch, and he plans to use some strategy to spread pitching responsibility out while keeping the pitch count rule in mind. “I plan on pitching 10 guys during the regular season to save my main pitching for the playoffs,” Lux said. In terms of goals for this season, he said, “an above .500 record during the regular season and then get farther than last year in the playoffs. We are definitely capable of that, for sure.” The varsity baseball season is scheduled to get underway at 5 p.m. April 9 against Depew, the team that knocked the Griffins out of the playoffs at the end of last season. Then there’s two more home games scheduled for that week — April 11 against Iroquois and April 13 against Lakeshore. The 18game season spans through May 15.

The weather outside isn’t stopping the JV girls’ softball team from getting their season started. The team is co-coached by Sara Rowe and Maggi Preston, both school nurses in the district at the high school and CES, respectively. The team is comprised of 14 girls: eight 10th graders, five 9th graders and one 7th grader, with seven of them veterans to the JV level. “We will have a very strong offensive and defensive team,” said Preston.
She noted the team’s speed will be an advantage. “Our team goals for the season is to be aggressive offensively,” Preston said. “We work on all the fundamentals, situational plays, bunting, hitting, pitching, and catching. We utilize the batting cage as much as possible.” The JV girls are scheduled to play their first game after the break on Monday, April 9. Visit www.springvillegi.org for the complete sports schedule.

Weight Loss Plateau Holiday Concerts By Carlee Frank

It’s that time of year when SGI’s most dedicated runners, jumpers and throwers are getting ready to represent Springville on the track. Five seniors, six juniors, five sophomores, five freshmen, eight e 8th graders, four 7th graders, and two 6th grade managers make up the girls’ track team, which is coached by high school PE teacher Mark Heichberger and assistant coached by Michelle Solly and Kalli Chilson. Like the other spring sports teams, the track athletes are able to train indoors until the weather breaks. “We use the BFS (Bigger, Faster, Stronger) system in the weight room. We lift three days a week,” Heichberger said. “We do a large amount of core work every day. We also run in the hallways. We try to do one pool workout a week. It is a nice way to crosstrain and get away from the constant running on the floors.” While SGI is traditionally strong in hurdles and throwing events, Heichberger believes this season, the team has pretty solid performers in all areas. “Payton Rowe and Chloe Chamberlin return as juniors and they were
both sectional finalist last year,” he said. Rowe is the school record holder in the 400 hurdles and Heichberger adds that she’s also outstanding in the 100 meter hurdles. Chamberlin is a 100 and 200 meter sprinter. On the distance side, Sonya Krezmien, Hannah Goetz, and Lizzy Miranda are all returning. “All three of these ladies were sectional qualifiers last year,” Heichberger noted. “Hannah is our school record holder in the steeplechase. Elle Russell returns to the team after a year’s absence. Elle has been running great this year in both cross country and indoor track.” The team also looks to be stronger in field events this year. “We return Allison Emmick in the high jump. This is her second year and we are projecting it to be a really good year for her,” Heichberger said. “Allison Lavanture returns in the long and triple jump. She was our top jumper last year. MacKenzie Engle is going to lead our throwers this year. We have a small group but we are expecting big things from them. Brooke Walker and Alyssa Greaves were our top two pole vaulters last year and they are both back. They should both be sectional
qualifiers.” The team’s schedule consists of four league meets (against Alden, East Aurora, Maryvale and Depew), two non-league meets (against Fredonia and Gowanda) and six invitationals. The girls are scheduled to kick off their season with a scrimmage against Holland and Pioneer over spring break. “All athletes on our team will compete in every scrimmage and league meet, as long as they have enough practices and are healthy,” explained Heichberger. “We are allowed to run three girls in a scoring heat for all of our sprint races. All other girls that want to run the sprints will still run them, but it is a non-scoring heat. They will still be timed and they will most likely still have athletes from the opposing school to run against.” Heichberger further explained, “We are allowed to put four girls in the scoring heat for all distance races, four girls in the scoring spots in all field events, and we are allowed one scoring relay team per relay. The same rules apply where we can enter as many girls or relay teams as we want, but only our designated girls can score points for the team. This is all based on times
and distances that we have previously recorded from meets or scrimmages.” Invitationals, which allow the team to compete against more than one team at a time, work a little differently. “At the invitational meets, we are only allowed to enter our top two or three athletes per event,” Heichberger explained. “The ECIC (Erie County Championship), Section 6 Championship, and NY State Championship meet are all time or distance based. The athletes would have to qualify based on their individual performance to compete in those meets.” As the season ramps up, Heichberger said, “We are looking for all of our student-athletes to get stronger and improve on their best time or distance. We want them to be competitive and hard working. If they can do that we will be fine. I believe that we will be in contention for a division championship if all goes well!” For the complete schedule, visit www. springvillegi.org and check out the Springville Times every week throughout the season.

We’ve all been there — sweating through every workout, dieting like a champ and watching the pounds drop on the scale, but then it hits: the weight loss plateau. After this point, it seems impossible to lose weight. Your regular workouts and diet plan just aren’t cutting it, right? Well, this week, we’re busting the weight loss plateau with science and some good ‘ole determination. But first, we must understand what happens to the body during the initial stages of diet and exercise. As you cut calories, the Mayo Clinic says your body acquires its energy by releasing glycogen — a type of carbohydrate — from the muscles and liver: “Glycogen is partly made of water, so when glycogen is burned for energy, it releases water, resulting in weight loss that’s mostly water.” Therefore, initial rapid weight loss is common. However, as you lose water weight, you also lose muscle mass. Due to the fact that muscles boost your metabolic rate, a decrease in muscle mass lessens the amount of calories you burn, which leads to a weight loss plateau. How, then, do you overcome the plateau? Well, it can be achieved in one word: change. You must change your diet and workout routine. Tip No. 1 is to begin a strength-training regime, or simply increase the resistance if you already strength train. Since muscles burn at least four times more calories than fat, stepping up your strength training will boost your metabolism. You can purchase simple dumbbells for at-home workouts or join the gym and ask for a trainer’s assistance. Tip No. 2 is to consume less food. Registered Dietitian Kathy McManus said to Glamour magazine, “Women often forget that the smaller their body, the fewer calories it requires.” So, whether you are a man or a woman, visit a dietitian or use a BMR calculator to determine the number of calories you should consume on a daily basis. Additionally, you should make sure to eat the proper amounts of carbs, protein and fat because these nutrients also aid in weight loss. In fact, healthy fats actually burn visceral fat — stubborn and dangerous belly fat — quite effectively. The third and final tip is to incorporate more movement into your daily routine. If you are immobile for the majority of the day and get the bulk of your movement during exercise, try adding bursts of movement to the times when you are normally sitting. For example, park farther away from your place of employment, take a five-minute walk during work or stand rather than sit at your desk. If none of these tips help, visit your doctor or dietitian for a more personalized solution. Many people view the weight loss plateau as failure or believe their diet is no longer working. In reality, however, the plateau is expected and healthy. So, if we anticipate this stage and immediately change our routine instead of calling it quits, weight loss will continue. Furthermore, a change of pace may improve morale and keep you motivated. Test out a new workout class, such as CrossFit or yoga, and look up tasty recipes for cleaner food. Eating Well lists Kefir, green tea, eggs, artichokes, avocado, peanuts and chickpeas as foods that help your body burn belly fat. Follow this link for recipes that include these foods: http://www.eatingwell. com/recipes/22143/lifestyle-diets/flatter-stomachfoods/slideshow/healthy-recipes-for-foods-for-a-flatterstomach/ Hopefully this week you will begin again to see results in your health and fitness journey!

Continued from front page pedestrian walkway on the north side. The project will establish a crossing on the south side, connecting the sidewalks to eliminate the need for pedestrians to enter the street. “That’ll be nice,” Kostowniak said. “The Boys and Girls Club will get a nice path right to them. Maple (Avenue) is a good street for kids when they get out of school and cut right across the village. It’s quieter than going down to Main Street and they’ll have a nice walkway to go down.” A drainage issue that often surfaces at the intersection of Newman and Elm streets will also be addressed in the project. “When the kids are walking up the sidewalk it’s ice or flooded,” Kostowniak said. “So they end up walking out into the street to get around.” Several village streets are
also expected to see some kind of pedestrian-friendly work by a combination of crosswalk markings and other intersection improvements, new sidewalks or enhancements for cyclists. Streets expected to see work in this fashion include Albro, Woodward, South Central, North Central, Franklin, Eaton, North Buffalo, Church and Maple. Potential lighting improvements could include 25 pedestrian lights along Woodward and Newman streets and Maple Avenue. Kostowniak said “a lot of the project is painting.” Because the village oil and chips its roads, any bike lanes that could be installed as part of the project will be painted on, and the village will be required to maintain them. “It’s a big impact, low cost component of
the grant,” Kostowniak said about the bike lane marking. Another aspect of the project being considered would allow for improvements along the west side of South Buffalo Street between Woodward Avenue and Springville Youth Incorporated (SYI) to separate the sidewalk from the edge of the street. “What makes villages nice is walkability, safety, connectivity — being able to walk to a park, walk to go get ice cream, walk to school safely,” said Kostowniak. “It’s what makes villages quaint. It draws people to us and making a better community is what we are all about.” The public is encouraged to attend the presentation, which will be held at 7 p.m. Monday on the second floor of the municipal building at 65 Franklin St. in Springville.

OUTDOORS Two Bike Path Projects Planned for Allegany State Park By Alicia Dziak
In a recent press release, New York State and Parks & Trails New York announced $450,000 in state grants to 21 organizations dedicated to the stewardship and promotion of New York State parks, historic sites and public lands. Among the recipients, Friends of Allegany State Park will receive $4,250 for the construction of approximately two miles of new, narrow tread trail, as part of the park’s master plan. Funds will cover the materials for the trail, new signage, and informational kiosks and maps. The trail will be created in collaboration with the Western New York Mountain Bike Association (WNYMBA). According to Allegany State Park manager Tom Livak, this project is being done in cooperation with Allegany State Park and will be located in the Summit Area of the Park, with the trailhead located on Stone Tower Road. The Friends of Allegany State Park will have to raise an additional $375 in cash and $375 labor in matching funds, for a total of $5,000 towards the project. “This project was previously included in the 2010 Allegany State Park Master Plan and coincides with another grant that NYS OPRHP just received federal authorization to proceed with under the Recreational Trails Program (RTP),” explained Livak. “The RTP Grant authorizes the project to enter the Preliminary Design Phase for a 3.5 mile section (Phase 1/ Loop 1) of the ‘singletrack’ trail for use by mountain bikers and hikers. $3,000 has been authorized under this phase with future phases of Final Design and Construction expected to follow. WNYMBA will be the driving force for the development of this project at Allegany State Park and has already worked closely with park management to
create some highly popular ‘singletrack’ riding in the Summit Area of the Park (3.3 mile Old Thunder Run).” “We actually have already started Phase I of the project and will continue to work on it all year,” said WNYMBA president, Jacob Bodway. “We hope the project will be completed in a couple years, depending on the amount of volunteers and the weather conditions. All told, the project will include eight miles of singletrack at the Stone Tower, with an additional proposed 12 miles at Cain Hollow.” WNYMBA is actively working on fundraising and volunteer recruitment for the project. “Currently, we are doing a raffle for two fat bike frames from Growler Performance Bikes,” explained Bodway. “We did the same raffle last fall and raised $1,400. We hope to match that amount again.” He added that the group also just finished the club’s beer release fundraiser at Flying Bison Brewing Company in Buffalo. “I believe that we raised $1,800 from various raffles and beer tickets from that event,” Bodway said. WNYMBA’s relationship with the park dates to the Raccoon Rally race, which has taken place in June for the last 25 years or so. “Allegany State Park was one of the few places in WNY that allowed mountain biking back in the day,” Bodway noted. “Thankfully, other county parks and state forests have granted WNYMBA access to build new multi-use singletrack throughout the region. We currently have trails at McCarty Hill State Forest, Hunter’s Creek County Park, Sprague Brook County Park, Golden Hill State Forest, Letchworth State Park, and Harris Hill State Forest.” WNYMBA is always looking for volunteers to help with trail work, and it’s no different for the Stone
Trout Season Begins April 1

Tower Trail at Allegany State Park. “We plan to have a trail work weekend on April 7-8 (as long as the snow is mostly gone) and will continue to have trail days all summer,” Bodway said. “We post our trail work days on Meetup, on our WNYMBA website, and on our Facebook page.” The Quaker side of the park will also benefit from grant money designated for improving the experience for bike riders. Allegany State Park just received Federal Authorization for the Preliminary Design Phase under a Recreation Trails Program grant from Federal Highway Administration and NYS DOT. The federal authorization permits preliminary design expenditures in an amount of $31,250 which is part of a phased approval approach under the RTP grant program that will ultimately lead to final design and construction approvals at some point in the future as the project advances. According to Livak, this project focuses on an approximate 1.25 mile section of bike trail in the Quaker Area of Allegany State Park, specifically from Kaiser Cabin Trail area down to the Quaker General Store, adjacent to the Quaker Rental Office. This project will include both renovation of the existing 2650’ bike trail and development of 4050’ of
additional trail. The overall trail project will include a paved pathway and the installation of three 60’ bridges and one 20’ bridge. This project was previously identified and approved in the 2010 Allegany State Park Master Plan. “We look forward to working to bring both of these very worthwhile projects to fruition here at Allegany State Park,” Livak said. Other local grant recipients include: Friends of Reinstein Nature Preserve: $47,411 to hire a Development Manager to cultivate a sustainable donor base and expand the organization’s funding sources in the areas of corporate giving, foundation giving, and planned giving. These actions will increase the long-term viability of Friends of Reinstein Woods, and foster improvements to the educational and stewardship programs supported by Reinstein Woods. Friends of Letchworth State Park: $12,530 to fund a planning document along with two architectural project reports that will allow the Friends group to more effectively manage and fund projects that will move forward the ongoing effort to preserve the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) legacy in Letchworth State Park.
April 1 marks the start of trout season, and there are numerous opportunities to take advantage of this sport all around the region. If you need a fishing license, they’re only just $25 ($50 for non-resident) and good for one year from the date of purchase. Each spring, thousands of yearling brown, brook and rainbow trout raised at DEC Fish Hatcheries are stocked in over 50 streams in the region. In addition, select streams are also supplemented with 2-year old brown trout that average 12-15 inches long. The most popular and heavily stocked streams in the region include the Genesee River and Cattaraugus, Ischua, East Koy and Goose creeks. For some anglers, there is nothing finer than catching a brilliantly colored wild trout. Anglers have excellent opportunity to catch wild brown, brook and rainbow trout in western New York, especially in Cattaraugus and Wyoming Counties. Wild trout tend to be more finicky than stocked trout, and they can be a challenge to catch. Streams designated as wild trout streams are not stocked. Since these streams are supported wholly by natural reproduction, anglers are urged to practice catch and release. Several Lakes and ponds in the region are stocked with trout each spring. The most substantial yearling trout stockings occur in Allegany County and Cattaraugus County in Allen, Rushford, Case, Harwood, New Albion, Quaker and Red House Lakes. Most of these lakes also receive 2-year old brown trout in spring and are usually supplemented with surplus broodstock trout in the fall. Trout fishing is best on these ponds and lakes in the spring. These waters also support warm-water fish communities that include bass, yellow perch and sunfish which provide good fishing in the summertime. Visit www.dec.ny.gov for a list of stocked bodies of water and regulations by county. If you’re looking for an excuse to get out there, the Chamber of Commerce in Arcade is offering adventure to early season anglers with their annual Tri-County Trout Derby set for the Upper Cattaraugus Creek, April 14 and 15. All New York State fishing regulations must be followed. Register online at the Arcade Chamber’s website. There is also a printable application available online or at the Chamber’s office. The Tri-County Trout Derby is Saturday, April 14 and Sunday, April 15 Fishing will be from 6:30 a.m.7 p.m. on Saturday and 6:30 a.m.-5 p.m. on Sunday. There will be a Derby Headquarters located at the Arcade Fire Department (145 North St. Arcade, NY). It opens at 5 a.m. both days of Derby and offers Derby info, registration packets not picked up early, one of two official check points, prize money for fish, food and drinks, bait, 50/50 tickets, Community Fish tickets, apparel, raffles, and more, For more information, visit www.ArcadeChamber.org.
Conservation, Education and Community at Springville Field and Stream By Carlee Frank
The news is covered in flashes of record-breaking storms, exposes on poaching and endangered species, major damage to rainforests across the globe and hundreds of cities predicted to be consumed by the ocean in the next 80 years. But sadly, it doesn’t end there –the news also covers heart wrenching mass shootings and gun violence cases every day. So, where does it all end? It ends when ‘we the people’ become informed on our environment and society and take proactive steps toward change. The Springville Field and Stream Club, Inc. is dedicated to conservation, gun safety and empowering
the community to understand both. Founded in 1934 as a men’s hunting and fishing club of 20 members, the Field and Stream now has over 300 members and offers a plethora of programs to those members and to the public. This past weekend, the club hosted the New York State Hunter Education course for certification before receiving a hunting license. “It’s for safety reasons,” Rich Wells, president of the Field and Stream, said. “The number of hunting accidents have gone down dramatically since the hunter training program started 50 or so years ago.” Jim Schweikert, chairperson on the board
of directors, agreed, saying there is a proper way to hunt and handle a gun and it is important to learn those skills. Schweikert said the club especially helps its junior members become confident in those areas. Junior members are children below the age of 18 who want to fish, learn about the environment and –at a certain age –hunt. Membership fees for junior members is $5 a year. “The kids learn good sportsmanship –how to obey the rules and regulations which are set up to protect the animals,” Wells said. In order to further protect our local wildlife, the Field and Stream builds nest boxes for wood ducks and blue birds. Wells also bands American kestrels and builds nest boxes to track the species’ health and maintains hives of honey bees. “There’s a lot of stress being put on our wildlife. The human population keeps expanding and eating up more and more natural habitat and these animals are losing their homes,” Wells said. He added that our environment is an interconnected system which includes the human population, so as the natural
world is affected we, too, will feel those effects. On April 7, the Field and Stream will be hosting JAKES Day through the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF). JAKES stands for Juniors Acquiring Knowledge, Ethics and Sportsmanship. All day long, youths ages 12 and younger get to practice shooting clay birds, targets and shot gunning in a safe environment, and afterwards receive prizes during a cookout. The NWTF also said, “JAKES is dedicated to informing, educating and involving youth in wildlife conservation and the wise stewardship of our natural resources.” This coming summer, in hopes of rehabilitating the Trout Pond –a vital natural resource in our area –the Field and Stream will continue dredging and rebuilding the pond. “Long term, we want to get a handicap ramp in there for handicap fisher persons, and then possibly a building for educational purposes,” Wells said. Field and Stream Treasurer Rich Zifra said this project, while very important, will be an expensive endeavor, so the club needs the support of the community. The Field
and Stream is a nonprofit organization, and he is working with the state to become a 501 C3 nonprofit so any donations made to the club are tax deductible. Ways for the community to support the Trout Pond project will be announced on their Facebook page. The Trout Pond is also an important resource for our community. Each year the Field and Stream hosts a children’s fishing day and an elderly fishing day, each with a cookout provided at the end. Zifra said they work in conjunction with the local Boy Scouts on the elderly fishing day, and added,
laughing, that the boys do most of the work. Field and Stream meetings occur on the first Thursday of each month at 7 p.m., and community members are encouraged to stop by. “We want to be a part of the community and we want the community to be a part of the Field and Stream,” Zifra said.

Six Week Grief Support Class Starting April 11
“Grief is in two parts. The first is loss. The second is the remaking of life.” (Anne Roiphe) I don’t think anyone can get through this life without experiencing loss of some kind. Often, we associate loss with one of its most extreme examples – death. But there are many kinds of loss, such as: divorce, moving, breaking up, developing a chronic disability or health problem, and many more. How we respond to events like these have the potential to change our daily lives. One of the hardest parts about experiencing loss is that often others don’t know how to respond to our grief. We don’t generally talk about it, and we’re probably not taught much about it growing up. That’s normal, but that doesn’t make it easier to bear. Loss hurts us, and those we love – and words often fail to capture the depth of its pain. But one way we can begin to ‘remake our lives’ in our new normal of a life that’s experienced loss, is to find support, and use tools to help us process it. Mr. Rogers (from the children’s program, Mister Roger’s Neighborhood) said: “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’” Loss can be something that’s incredibly frightening, and his nugget of truth is applicable to remaking our lives. When we’re faced with the fear and uncertainty of loss, we can look for those who are ready and willing to help us – and know that we can help others process their losses, because we can say, “I’ve been there.” If you or someone you know has recently experienced a type of loss, there is an upcoming support group about processing grief. Living in Peace is a six week class led by Meaghan Heighway, LMHC. Each week is self contained, so people may attend as many or as few as they wish. This small group will be acknowledging and processing the phenomenon of grief, while helping the participants to learn how to live in peace. It will run on Wednesdays, April 11 through May 16, from 6:30 to 8 p.m., and held at 64 E. Main St., Springville (Love in the Name of Christ). For more information, please call Meg’s office, at (716) 380-1750, but you are not required to sign up. Sessions are $15 per person, per week, and includes the class and materials. Also, you may check us out on Facebook @SpringvilleGriefClass, or on Meg’s website, at www.mhlmhc.com.

Believe it or not, winter is over and it’s time to think about sprucing up the yard for spring! Whether you plan to do some light pruning, start a vegetable garden, or plant flower beds, thoughtful planning goes a long way. While it’s true that Mother Nature has her own plans, there’s a lot that you can do now to ensure success. Even if there’s still snow on the ground, you can get ready by prepping your tools. Gather your pruning shears, shovels, and other tools and make sure they’re clean—be sure to check for rust! Have your pruning shears sharpened and check your lawn mower blade and the mower itself. Now is the time for any necessary sharpening or tune-ups. If you haven’t already, start a compost pile so that you have the perfect fertilizer for your garden. Every day, place any fruit/ vegetable scraps in a bucket or large bowl. Other compostable food waste includes egg shells, coffee grounds, loose leaf tea or tea bags made with natural materials. Find an out-ofthe-way spot in your yard and clear away any snow so that you can see grass and dirt. Start with a layer of leaves and/or twigs. Every day or every few days, take your bucket to the compost pile. “Turn” your compost pile with a hoe or rake to aerate it. Add the contents of the bucket and cover with a tarp. When it’s time for spring planting, clear and weed the planting area. Once

your compost pile is dark brown and crumbly, add a 4-inch layer of compost to new beds and work it well into the soil to maximize the nutrients your seedlings will need to grow. Composting is free, eco-friendly, and best of all, effective! Compost adds key nutrients to the soil such as nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, as well as micronutrients like copper, iron and zinc. Did you know that winter is actually the best time to prune your trees and shrubs? Warm weather and new growth can increase the risk of disease. You can literally nip this in the bud by pruning fruit trees before the buds begin to bloom. Waiting too long can stress the tree and result in a smaller harvest. Now is also a good time to divide perennials before the plants have begun their spring growth and become a lot more difficult to move.

Have you ever wondered why certain plants just never seem to do well in your yard, even though they’re receiving the proper amount of sunlight and water? Consider the pH level of your soil—this may have a bigger effect than you think! Soil test kits are available at garden centers and home improvement stores. Now is the time to pick one up and test the acidity of the soil in your yard before you buy your plants or seeds. Some plants, such as azalea, heather and hydrangea prefer acidic soil, while others are productive in more basic soil. Save yourself some time and money by testing your soil before you start planting! There is more to a healthy garden than plants! Make your yard a homey place for the birds by putting in a new birdbath and filling your bird feeders regularly. Did you know that a single

chickadee can consume up to 1,000 plant-eating insects in a day? Attracting birds to your yard is an easy way to keep the pests off your plants! In addition to a birdbath and feeders, plant some seed and fruit-bearing plants like sunflower, Echinacea, honeysuckle and aster. The birds will thank you, and you will thank them!

EVENTS & Entertainment Traditions Continue at the Broadway Market By Jennifer Weber
Across Western New York, many people take an annual pilgrimage during the Easter Season to the Broadway Market located in the heart of Buffalo’s Broadway-Fillmore neighborhood. While many visit to pick up their annual butter lamb, fresh Polish sausage and pierogies, a bunch of pussy willows and maybe a few painted wood eggs, the market has so much more to offer for those who take a little time to explore. Buffalo’s Broadway Market has been in operation since 1888, offering an “ethnic old world shopping atmosphere” for visitors across the region. A onestop shop, you can find fresh produce, butcher/
poultry shops, baked goods, deli meats and all sorts of different kinds of candy from family-owned local businesses, some which have been around for multiple generations. And then there are the flower stands, craft vendors, specialty shops and service centers. In fact, there are over 50 vendors including restaurants within like the East-West Cafe, Margie’s Soul Food and Potts Deli. Bring the kids and get a photo with the Easter Bunny in front of the market everyday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. And depending on the day, enjoy live performances which includes polka, jazz, big band music, a cappella singers and Polish dancers. And while you are
wandering around shopping for Easter goodness, why not have a little fun and play a “Broadway Market Bingo” game out of your afternoon spent at the market by trying to spot each of the iconic items found within the market before you leave: Giant Butter Lamb, Ribbon Crown, Dyngus Day Sweatshirt, Accordion Player, Wooden Easter Egg, Pussy Willows, Head Cheese, Bunny Cake, Sponge Candy, Paczki, Weber’s Mustard, Famous Horseradish. Find all 12 and you win! During the Easter season, you can also have
an impromptu wine tour around Western New York by stopping at several of the wineries/distilleries including Becker Farms and Vizcarra Vineyards, Black Button Distillery, Chateau Buffalo, Main Street Winery, Midgard Winery, Niagara Landing Wine Cellars, Savage Winery, Victorianbourg Wine Estate and Vetter Vineyards. The Broadway Market is open daily now until Easter and is located at 999 Broadway in Buffalo. For more information, visit broadwaymarket.org or call (716) 893-0705.
Celebrate the Season: Egg-cellent Decorating Ideas By Mary Heyl
Easter weekend is here! It’s time to decorate those hard boiled eggs so they’re ready to enjoy on Easter morning. Although you may be short on time during this busy weekend, these fun ideas won’t take long, and you can enlist the help of every member of the family as you create some fun new memories this year! If the beloved tradition of decorating eggs is starting to feel a bit “ho-hum” after so many years, mix it up this year! There are so many more ways to decorate an egg than plunking it into a cup of dye. Skip the boxed egg dye altogether by tie-dying your Easter eggs. To get started, gather some paper towels, food coloring, a spray bottle, tiny elastics or twist ties, and plenty of cooled hard-boiled eggs. Tear the paper towels into small sections and place an egg in the middle of one section. Cover the entire egg with the paper towel, twist the end as tightly as possible and secure it with a twist tie or elastic. Squeeze some drops of food coloring directly onto the paper towel—experiment using all the colors or just a couple! Leave some white space between food color drops so that the dyes don’t mix. Next, fill the spray bottle with water and don some rubber gloves. Spray the covered egg until the dyes run and the paper towel is completely colored with dye. Try not to over-spray, or there won’t be as much dye transferring to the egg! Set the eggs on a baking sheet or glass baking dish to dry overnight or in front of a fan for a few hours. When the paper towels are completely dry, unwrap each one and enjoy your groovy Easter eggs! Who doesn’t have a few packets of Kool-Aid mix in the cupboard? Put them to use by making these vibrant
Easter eggs (don’t worry, they won’t taste like Kool-Aid)! Add one packet of Kool-Aid to 2/3 cup of water and stir. Drop a hardboiled egg in the cup and watch it quickly take on the color of the Kool-Aid. Leave it in the dye until the egg is as bright as you like. Although the egg will smell faintly fruity, once dried, the egg will smell and taste like normal hard boiled eggs. Keep in mind that some Kool-Aid flavors don’t make the best dye, as Lemonade is very light and Grape will turn the egg dark gray. Experiment for different shades by mixing Kool-Aid packets together! If you’re short on time and have a box of egg dye handy, make your own ombre-effect Easter eggs for an easy twist on a classic method! Fill clear plastic cups with about an inch of vinegar and dissolve a dye tablet in each one. Using tongs, set an egg in the dye and leave for 2 minutes. Add about ½ inch of water and let sit for another 2 minutes. Continue in this manner, adding ½ of water at a time until the egg is completely covered. After a final 2 minutes, remove the egg and enjoy your work! Make a last-minute treat for your Easter guests that will soon become an annually-anticipated delight! Rice Krispies eggs are easy to make and can be customized for each person’s favorite treat. Buy some oversized plastic Easter eggs and a bag or two of your favorite mini Easter candies. Next, wash and dry each plastic egg and coat the inside with a thin layer of non-stick cooking spray. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter and 4 cups of mini marshmallows in a saucepan over low heat. Mix in 7 cups of Rice Krispies cereal until completely mixed. Fill the eggs with the cereal mixture, but leave space in the middle to fill with whatever candy you like! Make sure the egg is completely filled with the mixture and close the eggs. Leave them to cool/set and enjoy on Easter Sunday, if you can wait that long!

village who donated them to making wreaths and bouquets of flowers for the parades and the cemetery, where they were laid down on the veteran’s graves. By 1927, the WRC was now meeting with the Legion Auxiliary and the Sons of the Veterans, Legion and the few GAR members that were still around, when planning Memorial Day events. In 1949, The WRC #152 of Springville deeded the log cabin to the Concord Post #431 American Legion. On Memorial Day in 1950, they added a new event to the program: the WRC giving a program at the log cabin. Mrs. Marilla Hyde gave the history of the WRC and Maurice F. Quinn gave the history of the GAR. That same year, the WRC placed flowers on the Springville Pond in memory of the Unknown Soldier. Throughout the long history of the WRC, they stayed active and involved in the community. Every week there were articles in the paper showing where they met and what they were doing. If you would like to learn more about this group or any of the other many, many social organizations, stop down at the Lucy Bensley Center, 23 N. Buffalo St. in Springville on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and enjoy reading our local newspapers online! For more information, call (716) 592-0094.

active and did a lot of work, from establishing homes for the seniors and children to helping get hot meals into schools to helping make and send items to soldiers and raising money for books and medical care. And, of course, they helped beautify the town with plants and cleanups. Women from our past usually belonged to more than one of these groups. The local unit of the WRC founded in 1890 in Springville was a very active and largely attended group. It was established to specially aid and assist the GAR (Carey Post #87) and to perpetuate the memory of the heroic dead, to assist veterans as they need help and to assist their widows and children, and to promote patriotism and love of our country among the communities we live. Mrs. W.S. Webber, Mrs. George Conger, Mrs. T.B. Norris, Cora Conger, Dora Norris, Mrs. J.M. Vedder and Mrs. J.J. Warren were the first officers elected that year. They would hold suppers that were open to the public, sugar festivals, teas and socials to help raise money for the building of the log cabin that was home to the GAR and WRC. They also raised money to buy a large American flag to be presented to the Griffith Institute School. The group was also responsible for helping organize Memorial Day events and the flowers that were used on Memorial Day, from the collection of flowers from people in the
