The Summer Bucket List

Springville’s Historical Campus

By Jennifer Weber

One of the many, wonderful first impressions of Springville that my husband and I had when moving to this area several years ago was the

opportunity for nerds like ourselves to get lost in and explore several historical museums, right around the corner from each other. Sure, most towns have a Historical

Society, but the Concord Historical Society includes an entire campus of buildings including the Pop Warner Museum, Concord Mercantile, Heritage Building and the Lucy Bensley Genealogy Library. If you grew up in the Springville area, chances are good you visited one of these places as a student, but when was the last time you stepped foot inside as a grown-up? You might be surprised at what you find and how long you stay and wander once you see what’s inside. Pop Warner Museum/ Concord Historical Museum,

Celebrate the Unofficial End of Summer This Labor Day By Alicia Dziak

By Gwendolyn Fruehauf, SGI Student Reporter

With the start of the school year right around the corner, it is to no one’s surprise that all of the fall sports teams have jumped head first into preparation for the upcoming season. Last week, the Springville Cross Country team traveled to Allegany State Park to join Dunkirk, Silver Creek, and Pioneer at Camp Allegany, a 5-day running camp. These teams congregated not only in hopes of achieving physical goals, but also to expand social connections

Letter from the Editor

The unofficial end of summer has arrived with Labor Day weekend. While heading into September means back to school and schedules, for me, it also means really getting into fall sports (which for me and my kids is soccer- go Griffs!), squeezing out the last of summer (because let’s face it—we’re due for a warm September!) and starting to knock off the bucket list of fall activities (foliage hikes and corn mazes, I’m coming for you!). There are so many things going on this month that it can be hard to fit them all in the pages of this paper, but we try! As always, please keep us in the loop about the special events and wonderful people that make up this community. Email me at info@springvilletimes.com any time. Enjoy the holiday weekend! - Alicia Dziak, Editor, Springville Times

SUMMER’S END SALE!

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

Kay Duffy’s School of Dance By Carlee Frank

Dance is defined as, “to move rhythmically to music.” However, at Kay Duffy’s School of Dance, it is so much more –students make lasting friendships and learn valuable lessons. This is no surprise when the instructors are so passionate. “For me, it was like dance was my way into figuring out the world,” Margaret Duffy, co-owner of Kay Duffy’s, said. The school of dance was founded in 1955 by Margaret’s mother, Katherine (Kay) Duffy. Kay studied and taught dance for years, and finally wanted to break out on her own. In the early 1980s, after Margaret completed a degree in dance, she moved back to the area to co-own Kay Duffy’s with her mother. Kay Duffy’s is located at 60 S Cascade Drive. Classes in ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, modern, hip hop and Irish are taught to students ages 3-18 years old. The season runs from September to June, concluding with a recital at the Springville High School. Duffy explained that dance studios are much different now than they used to be. There used to be many more, and each studio was full of students. “Way back when, when my mom opened the studio, there weren’t many sports for girls. Almost every little girl took dance as a physical activity to

do,” Duffy said. Over the years, sports have been made more available to girls, especially since Title IX was enacted in 1972. Duffy said she is not upset by the decreasing number of students to dance because she simply wants to see children up and moving. “Dance isn’t for everyone,” Duffy noted, “We’re another physical option for people.” She also notices influxes of students to sports and activities that do well in the Olympics. For example, when Mary Lou Retton won gold in 1984, many students took up gymnastics. Duffy said it is so easy to live life by your thumbs nowadays, that no matter your activity of choice, a sound mind and a sound body are important. She is the main instructor at Kay Duffy’s and said in the first couple of weeks of class, she gets many knee hugs from the young students. They learn simple things such as front and back in ballet, how to form a line and how to listen to a teacher. “Working with kids is wonderful,” Duffy said, “I can literally write a book and a half on the funny things kids have said to me.” She said she knows that it’s often hard on parents to see their children grow up and move on, but it is one of her favorite parts. She is always proud to see students move on to a career in dance, but said she’s just as excited when they enter college to study engineering, education, or anything else. With Duffy’s

Richmond Nursing Home. Her students also perform an annual recital, and some compete in the recreational level Summerdanse Competition at Maryvale High School in May. Duffy said dance is what helped her get through her angsty teen years, as well as figure out school. “In school, history dates were a total mess for me until I equated them with the types of dance styles I knew were from certain eras,” Duffy said. She also finds herself unconsciously dancing along to the music in grocery stores. If you are nodding your head right now because you do the same thing, maybe you should go to Kay Duffy’s School of Dance! Classes start at 4 p.m. on weekdays and early Saturday mornings.

between the four attending teams and within each individual team. Morgan Lukert, a senior and cross country runner at Springville, explained how significant the camping experience was to the team bonding atmosphere and to achieving individual goals. “I think there are two purposes to running camp. I think there is individual purpose and then there’s your team bonding purpose,” Lukert explained. “Running camp allows you to bond with your team, whether it be sitting in the creek, taking naps together…there are many different bonding things, but individually, it lets you figure out how far you can go and how far you can push yourself.” “And you have your team there to support you,” she added. “It’s team bonding in the sense that we’re spending more time together.” But what is team bonding? And why is it important? Team bonding is a term used to describe various types of activities that help enhance relationships within a team, which in turn leads to team spirit, or willingness to cooperate as part of a team.

stronger. So, team bonding is important to the success of every team, and according to Lukert, the Springville Cross Country Team used the many active forms of team bonding at Camp Allegany to become closer with one another. “We definitely know more about each other now,” Lukert said. When asked, “In 20 years, what are some of the best memories you will have from this camp?” Lukert only had to think for a moment. “Our naps…for sure,” she said with a smile. Seeking assistance in further answering the question, she looked to her teammate, Evelyn Smith, behind her. Smith also knew what she wanted to say. “Sitting in the creek and freezing together, probably,” she said, committing the event to memory. “Or all stretching together and not knowing what we’re doing.” We remember what we want to remember. And remembering times when we were having fun with our team only goes to show that being a part of a family has an enormous impact on our lives and the memories we keep with us forever.

That’s what Rock and Roll Weekend in Ellicottville, presented by Northtown Auto, is all about. The weekend starts Friday night, Sept. 15 with the finale of Ellicottville’s Stroll the Streets. The shops are open and the streets are full of great familyfriendly activities. You never know what to expect.

The Stroll runs from 5 to 8 p.m. and the movie starts at 8 p.m. Madigan’s hosts Ellicottville favorites, Party Squad. in their green bar Friday night at 6. Party Squad is made up of Buffalo Music Hall of Fame members and is regionally one of the most recognized and respected bands playing. At 7 on Friday night, Darkwater Duo will be on the mainstage at Balloons. The band, usually just a duo but occasionally has others sitting in, plays some great acoustic mix covers of familiar songs. They are quickly building a following with their fun style. Finnerty’s gets into the mix for their first year as a part of Rock and Roll Weekend with Gregg Sansone at 8 p.m. A member of the Buffalo Music Awards Hall of Achievement, Gregg is known for his ability to create a full-band sound from his keyboard, producing not only a unique one-man show but a performance that will have you up and dancing. His music ranges from acoustic pieces to jazz and blues, alternative and classic rock, even a bit of country and Celtic rock. Perennial watering spot for Ellicottville, The Gin Mill, will host 2 Guys Drinkin’ Beer at 9 p.m. The acoustic duo brings great music and fun to the show every time they perform. Villaggio will host Kickstart Rumble at 9 p.m. Kickstart plays originals that range in sound from the early days of Rock and Roll to modern rockabilly and pop punk. They also play covers ranging from Elvis to Reverend Horton Heat, Buddy Holly, and the Stray Cats. According to their website, “This isn’t the 50’s and neither are we, so don’t expect to be sitting down or having a cup of tea.” The music continues Saturday with an 80s party band at The Winery of Ellicottville Mainstage on Monroe Street.

The band will be playing the tunes that made the music of the 1980s so special. The party starts at 1 p.m. on the north side of Monroe Street, right in front of The Winery of Ellicottville. Finnerty’s keeps things going at 3 p.m. with The Carl Motyka Band. The ensemble plays rock from the 1950s to now, but specializes in the stuff that will have you dancing and reminiscing. These guys play everything from The Beatles to Lynyrd Skynyrd to Journey, Tom Petty, Cheap Trick, and many more. East Aurora’s party band, Never Ben, takes to the Madigan’s stage at 6 p.m. Playing music from the 1960s to today, these musicians will be what you’re looking for when it comes to some of the classics. Never Ben covers tunes from Led Zeppelin, The Who, Kings of Leon, even U2 and Lenny Kravitz, all with the occasional country and reggae sound mixed in. Balloons keeps things rolling with Hayden Fogel on stage at 6 p.m. Fogel is a 17-year-old blues guitar prodigy that was immersed into the spotlight when none other than Buddy Guy invited him to play on stage at a show in Buffalo. He and his band have been named one of the top three blues bands in the region by the ALL WNY Music Awards. The show will be one not to miss! At 8, just down the street at Ellicottville Brewing Company, The Untouchables will perform. These guys will entertain you with some great rhythm and blues, oldies rock and roll, classic soul and much more.

Burchfield Penney Art Center

By Mary Heyl

Although it’s sad to see summer fade away, the change of seasons in Western New York is a sight to behold. No one knew this better than watercolorist Charles E. Burchfield, one of the best known American painters of his time. During his career, which spanned more than 50 years, Burchfield created over 1,400 paintings, many of which capture the beauty of the region’s landscapes at various times throughout the year. Experience Burchfield’s incredible work, along with the artwork of many other Western New York artists at the Burchfield Penney Art Center at SUNY Buffalo State. Born and raised in Ohio in 1893, Burchfield began painting at a young age and was inspired by the work of American nature writers, like Henry David Thoreau and Willa Cather. Burchfield graduated from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 1916, where he was heavily influenced by watercolor painter Henry Keller. He continued painting as a young man, and upon his engagement in 1921,

Burchfield moved to Buffalo where he was employed as a designer by the H.M. Birge wallpaper company. Eager to support himself and his growing family (by 1928, he was married with a fifth child on the way), Burchfield approached a gallerist about selling his work through the Rehn gallery in New York. This new venture was a success and Burchfield’s paintings sold well, even through the Great Depression years. In 1930, Burchfield’s career skyrocketed when his early watercolors were featured in an exhibit at New York City’s Museum of Modern Art. Over the course of his career, Burchfield’s work was featured in galleries such as Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Institute, Harvard University’s Fogg Art Museum, the Phillips Memorial Gallery in Washington, D.C. and the Musee de Jeu de Paume in Paris. Not only was Burchfield a prolific painter, creating hundreds of works, but he also taught courses periodically at the Art Institute of Buffalo, Buffalo Fine Arts Academy, Ohio University, Athens, and the University of Minnesota, Duluth. In 1966, the Charles Burchfield Center, a museum dedicated to his work, was inaugurated at the SUNY Buffalo campus, just one year before Burchfield passed away at his home in Buffalo. His legacy lives on at the Burchfield Penney Art Center, which was renamed in 1994 in honor of the generous donations of Charles Rand Penney, who contributed the largest private collection of

works by Burchfield, including publications and hand-crafted domestic objects from the Roycroft community. In 1998, it was proposed that a new museum building be created for the Burchfield Penney, and after 10 years of planning, fundraising and construction, the new art center opened on Nov. 22, 2008. Since then, the museum has seen over 300,000 visitors from all over the world, and in 2009, travel editors of the New York Times included the Burchfield Penney Art Center as one of the “Top 44 Places in the World to Visit.” Last year, the Burchfield Penney celebrated 50 years as the Museum for Western New York Arts. Experience the museum’s golden anniversary in person by viewing the “50 in 50: Fifty Works for Fifty Years” exhibit, which chronicles Western New York’s cultural history with works from each decade from 1849 through 2017. Other current exhibits include “Community: Immigrant and Refugee Artists in Western New York,” “Glass within Glass: the Magic of the Trabucco Studio,” and Buffalo artist Michael Bosworth’s “The House has Gone Down and the Lamps are Out,” which explores rural American landscapes. Of course, the current Burchfield exhibit is a must-see: now through Nov. 26, “A Dream World of Imagination: Charles E. Burchfield’s Golden Year” portrays Burchfield’s work from 1917, which he fondly referred to as the “golden year” of his career. Plan your visit to the Burchfield Penney Art Center today! The museum, which is located on the SUNY Buffalo campus at 1300 Elmwood Avenue, is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. Admission is $10 for adults, $8 for seniors and $5 for students.

as its showroom. Opening on July 4, 1945, the Springville Airport was welcomed by a large crowd of community members and local dignitaries. The airport was owned and operated by Joe Ott and Melvin Keane. The airport had its own flying club known as the Gremlins. Mark Krezmein, local aviation expert and FAA inspector, commented that once his older brother, Larry, took him up in a plane from the Springville Airport, he was hooked. For its brief few years, the airport held flight classes. Advertising in local papers “Learn to Fly! $88.00 Government approved flight course. Springville Airport Vaughn Street.” The airport would also be the launching point for many community members for flying trips to other local airports as

in 1949 when several local couples took off from the Springville airport to get breakfast in Jamestown and enjoy the fall foliage. The airport caused some local upheaval: In the 1920s, a group of wealthy Buffalo residents bought land on Middle Road and built a small resort. The resort was for one of the latest trends of the time, nudism. After it was learned that the airport was opening, the small nudist colony closed up shop. Remnants of the building still stand on Middle Road. As for the airport? By 1952, the hangar building was leased to Springville Griffith Institute to store school buses. In 1953, the school district bought the building and used it for the bus garage until 2011 when the new transportation building on North Street opened.

mobilizing and, even after disaster response efforts are over, The Salvation Army will remain in communities impacted by this terrible storm, supporting long-term disaster recovery efforts and providing ongoing assistance to those in need. Get updates on relief efforts at www. disaster.salvationarmyusa. org, follow them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ SalArmyEDS, or on Twitter @ SalArmyEDS. Donate at www. salvationarmyusa.org. Heart to Heart International strengthens communities through improving health access, providing humanitarian development and administering crisis relief worldwide. We engage volunteers, collaborate with partners and deploy resources to achieve this mission. Donate at www. hearttoheart.org. Global Giving (www. globalgiving.org) believes “that organizations that are deeply-rooted in local communities are in the best

position to provide longterm support for survivors of natural disasters like Hurricane Harvey. By funding the relief efforts of local organizations, donations to this fund have the potential to build stronger response capacity so that these organizations are better equipped to face future challenges. GlobalGiving will post reports about how funds have been used and will email these reports to donors. All donations to this fund will support recovery and relief efforts for Hurricane Harvey. Initially, the fund will help first responders meet survivors’ immediate needs for food, fuel, clean water, hygiene products, and shelter. Once initial relief work is complete, this fund will transition to support longerterm recovery efforts run by local, vetted organizations in the Gulf Coast.” GoFundMe also has highlighted stories of people who are suffering as a result of Harvey.

This breed mix is active and needs to be exercised and mentally stimulated daily. He will not be a couch potato all day long if that is what you are looking for.
