Happy spring break! This school break is the perfect opportunity to explore all the wonderful hidden or not-sohidden gems in the Enchanted Mountains. Head to Allegany State Park and enjoy miles of hiking and biking trails. Grab a tasty Friday night Fish Fry at the Park Restaurant, stroll around the lake or check out some easy-to-reach destinations, such as the Stone Tower or the Fire Tower. Better yet, go to www.reserveamerica.com and reserve one of the hundreds of cabins and cottages for a couple-nights and make it a mini-getaway. If you need another excuse to visit the park, celebrate Earth Day/Arbor Day on April 15. This family-friendly event takes place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Red House Administration building and includes a treasure hike, kids’ activities and more. For more information, contact the Environmental Education/ Recreation Department at (716) 354-9101 ext. 236 or check out the Allegany State Park Facebook page.

It’s pretty great being in an area whose primary purpose is making life fun. At the heart of it all are Holiday Valley Resort and HoliMont, where winter got off to a strong and early start. According to HoliMont General Manager Dave Riley, the 2016-17 season “was a

In a unanimous vote Tuesday, the Ellicottville School Board approved a proposition to present voters with a 2017-2018 budget slightly above the tax cap. With a 1.7 percent increase, the proposed budget will require a 60 percent approval from district voters on Tuesday, May 16.

See Strong First Quarter page 9

According to Superintendent Mark Ward, the increase to the tax cap will generate an additional $123,000 needed to support current instructional programs, staffing levels, special education programs, and employee benefits, among other things. For the past several years, the district has dipped into reserves in order See ECS Budget page 4

Chocolate turtles and bunnies, oh my! With the Easter holiday fast approaching, Ellicottville’s beloved Watson’s Chocolates is decked out from top to bottom with chocolate bunnies, Easter baskets, cream eggs and more. The Easter holiday is especially special for chocolates, and Watson’s has no shortage of choices for customers. According to Ellicottville Store Manager Barbara Toth, who has been at the store for more than 14 years, Watson’s offers a fun variety of molded chocolates ranging from bunnies to frogs, in four different chocolate types: milk, dark white and orange. “The Easter molds are fun because we do the traditional bunnies and lambs and crosses, but we also do some fun stuff likes frogs and cats. We even have snow boarder bunnies—a chocolate bunny riding a snowboard,” said Toth. “We have all different types of molds. There’s something for everybody here.” Customers can also head to Watson’s to purchase readymade Easter baskets filled with all sorts of goodies. “We have two different

basket sizes. The smaller one is $19.95 and that includes a chocolate bunny, foil eggs, marshmallow peeps, jelly beans, a cream egg and then another milk chocolate solid,” said Toth. “The larger basket is $29.95 and includes a larger bunny, marshmallow peeps cream eggs, jelly beans, foil eggs and also a milk and a dark chocolate solid.” Specially for Easter, Watson’s also makes molded chocolate in the shape of an Easter basket, which is then filled to the brim with other candies. “Chocolate mold baskets are very special to Watson’s,” said Toth. “They are one of the signature Easter items.” Also, unique to Watson’s is its best-selling sponge candy, for which it has won multiple awards, and even inspired an Imperial Sponge Candy Stout beer from Buffalo’s Resurgence Brewing Company and one of Anderson’s most popular ice cream flavors. “Sponge candy is definitely our mainstay. It’s definitely the best seller,” said Toth. “They stay true to the original recipe with the best quality ingredients. They don’t take any shortcuts on any of the processes of making it, handling it, selling it. It’s just a really good product consistently.” Not that the rest of Watson’s chocolates aren’t good consistently. The Ellicottville store offers eight types of truffles, 15 types of creams, as well as chocolate turtles, chocolate-covered pretzels, caramels, butter crunch and much, much more, including, a candy that you can find exclusively at Watson’s –

the Charlie Chaplin. “It’s marshmallows, coconut and cashews all covered in chocolate and it’s actually made in a muffin cup so it’s a pretty good sized chunk of goodness,” said Toth. “That’s something people come in for and say ‘You’re the only place that makes these.’ It’s unique to Watson’s.” What’s also unique to the Ellicottville Watson’s specifically, is a location with such a plethora of visitors, lured to the area for the busy ski season. “We have a great, loyal customer base of locals as well as such a huge influx of seasonal visitors,” said Toth. “Those seasonal visitors are repeat visitors every year. We so often hear people say, ‘We are seasonal visitors’ or ’We have to stop at the candy store before we go home.’ It’s one of their favorite stops when they come skiing.” But Watson’s is not just a favorite for visitors. It’s also the go-to place for many local, loyal customers for a variety of holidays. For example, Toth said that on Valentine’s Day a particularly special couple always stops to buy Watson’s chocolate. “On Valentine’s Day, we do lattice heart, which is a chocolate-molded heart filled with chocolate and then a lattice heart laid on top as a cover. I have a couple that come in every year and the husband orders this lattice heart. A couple years ago they celebrated their 50th anniversary. That’s Valentine’s Day for them— coming to Watson’s for this lattice heart for her,” said Toth. In fact, it’s the nostalgia of the candies and chocolates that make Watson’s so special for many of the store’s visitors. “There’s a lot of tradition in the Watson’s chocolates,” said Toth. “Chocolate is such a happy thing that can bring a smile to kids of all ages, and Easter is such a traditional chocolate holiday.” For those looking to bring smiles this Easter, Watson’s has all of the chocolate needed to fill baskets and more. The Ellicottville store is located at 27 Washington Street. For more information about their chocolates, services and hours, visit: www.watsonschocolates. com.

ECS Budget

to make ends meet, and this proposed increase will allow the district to break even with the revenue needed to cover budget increases. “The board feels that in order to maintain the programs that we have and support what we are doing here, we need to go above the tax cap. We are going to be asking the voters and that will be requiring a 60 percent majority,” said Ward. “We don’t want to use reserves and that’s why we feel we have to go in this direction.” According to Ward, Ellicottville’s tax rate and school taxes are much lower than any neighboring district, with only one Western New York district having a lower rate. Highlights of the proposed 2017-2018 budget include allocations for: new computers due for a large incoming sixth grade class, hiring a new superintendent, new college courses, an additional elementary teacher, two new leased school buses, new cement steps and roof repairs to the elementary building, renovations to classrooms in the lower elementary in preparation to rent them to BOCES for expansion of the

elementary program and a new CISCO phone system. “I think there are a lot of exciting things that are incorporated into this budget,” said Ward. In other business, Ward provided an update on new technology the school has implemented with funding from the Smart Schools grant. “We got about $343,647 – the least amount given to any school district in Western New York. We’ve spent $200,000 on touch screens in the classrooms. They are magnificent,” said Ward. “We have $143,000 left and we are in the process of putting in a video surveillance system in the school.” Ward said the new surveillance system will feature video intercoms outside the double door entrances that will allow employees in school offices to see visitors. In other business, Middle/ High School Principal Bob Miller announced that the senior class trip to Williamsburg, VA, has been cancelled due to lack of interest from students. This marks the second year in a row that a senior trip has been cancelled. Miller said despite the original plans falling

through, he is hoping to still be able to coordinate a day or overnight trip with students somewhere nearby. “We are working with the kids and looking at something close. It’s not so much the cost but it’s getting enough kids to go. I think we need to go back to the drawing board – possibly to day trips or overnight trips. There are some neat trips in Buffalo if you just go for the night,” said Miller. Finally, the board approved the 2017-2018 school year calendar, discussed in previous board meetings. The 186-school day calendar has a few emergency days built in for snow or inclement weather and closely follows the one BOCES has adopted. “If you go away from this schedule you are going to conflict with BOCES and alternative education and potentially special education if you have kids attending classes in other buildings, and we do,” Ward said of the calendar during the March 28 board meeting. “It’s pretty much the Western New York calendar.” The next ECS Board of Education meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 18 at 4:30 p.m. in the high school library.

ECS EVENTS

By Indrek Kongats

The Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA) was founded 15 years ago with the sole purpose to allow student riders from grades 6-12 to compete nationally against one another. No rider needs to own a horse and the program is open to Public School, Private School and Barn teams. Riders can compete in Hunt Seat and Western (Reining and Horsemanship) with classes ranging from Future Beginner up to Varsity Open. A rider’s age does not determine what class they compete in, but rather their riding ability does. Future Beginner riders are new to the sport, while the best riders compete in the Varsity Open class; there are five classes or levels in all. There are 10 zones all across America with the states of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania falling into Zone 2. Within Zone 2, there are more than 350 teams with an average of 15 riders per team; over 5,000 compete in Zone 2. To be able to qualify for the zone competition is a real honor and to win first place is a challenge and a great accomplishment. Western New York hosts two teams that qualified for the Zone 2 finals that were

held April 1 and 2 at Centre Hall, PA. Cattaraugus County was represented by the WNY Equestrian Team training at the Nash Hill Equestrian Center in Gowanda, NY. Allegany County was represented by TMC Equestrian Team training in Cuba, NY. Riders for these teams come from all over, as far away as Orchard Park, East Aurora, and Strykersville and nearby from Ellicottville, Little Valley, Concord and Olean. The Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA) has partnered with the National Collegiate Equestrian Association (NCEA), Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) and the American National Riding Commission (ANRC) to bring more knowledge to IEA members on how to prepare for college riding through the “Collegiate Connection” education series and offer College Scholarships for the first and second highest placing Seniors (12th Grade) competing in Individual classes at IEA National Finals. The Hunt Seat National Finals will be April 21-23, 2017 at the Virginia Horse Center in Lexington, VA, while the Western National Finals are June 30-July 2, 2017 at the Oklahoma State Fair Park in

Oklahoma City. Congratulations goes out to Julia Stayer from Olean High School, riding for TMC, who placed 1st in Varsity Open Horsemanship and will be going to Oklahoma. Tori Lee, training out of Dunham Sport Horses in Little Valley but riding for TMC, placed second in JV Novice Team Horsemanship. Heli Kongats from Ellicottville, riding for WNY, qualified for both Varsity Intermediate Individual Reining and Horsemanship, but failed to place at the zones and advance further this year.

Come check out these amazing photographs. The Total Solar Eclipse of 2017 – April 19 7-8:30 pm This class will be led by longtime amateur astronomer Bert Probst and each is structured for adults and young adults over the age of 16. If interested, please call (716- 699-2842) to register. In August 2017, a total solar eclipse will cross our country from Oregon to South Carolina. This will be the first time since 1979 that any part of the continental US has experienced a total solar eclipse. Viewing a total solar eclipse is a once-in-a lifetime event that relatively

few people ever experience. During totality, the daytime sky darkens to reveal the solar corona, stars and planets. We will view photographs from previous eclipses as well as objects to observe during this eclipse of 2017. Join this class to understand the geometry of eclipses and the infinite difference between total and partial eclipses. We will also cover safe methods to view solar eclipses. The next total solar eclipse in the US will occur in 2024 and will have a surprise for western New Yorkers. Tai Chi – there is still time to join! A new class started on Wednesday, March 29th.

“The Dry”

by Jane Harper

Federal Agent Aaron Falk arrives in his hometown for the first time in decades to attend the funeral of his best friend, Luke. Twenty years ago when Falk was accused of murder, Luke was his alibi. Falk and his father fled under a cloud of suspicion, saved from prosecution only because of Luke’s steadfast claim that the boys had been together at the time of the crime. But now more than one person knows they didn’t tell the truth back then, and Luke is dead. Amid the worst drought in a century, Falk and the local detective question what really happened to Luke. As Falk reluctantly investigates to see if there’s more to Luke’s death than there seems to be, long- buried mysteries resurface, as do the lies that have haunted them. And Falk will find that small towns have always hidden big secrets. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. It is also available as a large print book using our interlibrary loan program. Don’t forget, you can access over 15,400 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!

With the spring season upon us, many of my clients are looking to shed the winter weight. Of course we are all looking for that magical fix. But as we have learned from shows like “The Biggest Loser,” quick weight loss is not an ideal fix. Plus, as we age, taking off that extra 5, 10, 15 pounds is not as easy as it once was. Sure, you could eat whatever you wanted in high school and stay thin as a rail. But unfortunately, you’re not 17 anymore, and even if you work out ‘round the clock, you can’t transform your body if you constantly give in to cravings, high-fat foods and sweet treats. The truth is, flat abs are made in the kitchen, and no amount of cardio and crunches can sculpt a sleek physique if you maintain an unhealthy diet. If you justify frequent fried chicken or pasta dinners with bootcamp or CrossFit WOD on your schedule the following morning, you might want to recalculate how many calories you’re actually burning in comparison to the ones you’re taking in.

“The majority of people are not serious athletes, meaning they don’t require the same type and amount of fuel as the pros,” says Sara Hass RDN, spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetic. “Eating a calorically dense, high-carbohydrate meal or snack makes sense for a competitive cyclist about to endure a 100-mile road race, but it doesn’t make sense for someone who is about to take a two-mile jog around the block.” Instead, opt for a healthier form of chicken, such as grilled or poached, and save the spaghetti for a post-race meal. Yes, it’s OK to have a cheat meal here and there, but try not to make it a weekly or even biweekly thing. And don’t bother justifying it with an intense sweat session you may have had earlier — it’s called a cheat meal for a reason. To effectively change your physique and stay toned requires intense exercise. You won’t have the physical endurance to push through tough workouts if your diet isn’t up to snuff. Yes, that unfortunately means that while Reese’s Pieces and soda may give you a sugar high that you mistake as energy, this insulin boost is short lived and will not sustain you through a vigorous workout. You’ll need a combination of carbohydrates and protein to

recover following a workout, as well as adequate carbs beforehand, too. “They’re the preferred energy for the exercisers’ muscles and mind,” says Jennifer McDaniel, RDN, founder of McDaniel Nutrition Therapy in St. Louis and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Watch out for taking in too much fat; that often translates to an abundance of calories as well, which quickly packs on as extra pounds. Another diet pitfall to avoid when training is extremely high amounts of carbs or fiber. “These could cause annoying digestive issues and prevent you from performing well,” says McDaniel. In general, aim to get about 30 percent of your diet from protein, 40 percent from carbs and 30 percent from fat. Keeping your diet in check will help because to become truly toned, you’ll need to build muscle and burn more calories than you’re consuming at the same time. It’s easier to do so if you don’t treat yourself to nachos or ice cream in the first place. Regular sweat sessions are, of course, key for staying in shape and maintaining your overall health. However, says McDaniel, “Remember that exercise sustains weight loss — but a healthy diet is what drives it.”

AW No Match for ECS Eagles

By Indrek Kongats

Ellicottville Central School’s Varsity Eagles (20) started off week two of the regular baseball season with a decisive win over the boys on the other side of Chapel Hill, the Archbishop Walsh Eagles of Olean. Not many games are won in the first inning, but that’s exactly what happened on April 3. Eagles pitcher junior #15 Griff in Chudy was credited with his first win of the season with the help of the bats from his teammates that hammered in 10 runs in the first inning while Chudy kept Walsh run-less. In all, Chudy pitched four innings giving up only one hit, walked only one batter and had eight strikeouts with 55 pitches. Top batters included senior #16 Chad Boldt knocking in three runs off of three hits with five plate appearances earning a .750 average. Boldt was followed by senior #16 Preston Hutchinson driving in two runs off only one hit, junior #3 Evan Palmatier with one RBI off two hits on two plate appearances for a 1.000 batting average. The rest of team contributed for six additional RBIs while five runs scored came off walks. The final score was Ellicottville Eagles 17, Archbishop Walsh 4. The Walsh Eagles scored one run in the 6th and three in the final 7th inning, all off reliever ECS sophomore #5 Steve Rowland throwing 44 pitches in two innings, striking out three batters while giving up only one run and walking four batters. In the field, Boldt had nine put-outs followed by junior #7 Hunter O’Striker with four put-outs in four chances. The Eagles have had four scheduled games but due to weather have only managed to play two. On Tuesday, April 4

the team traveled to Salamanca but no box score was reported by press time and on Thursday, April 6 played away at Panama. Both games will be reported in the April 21 issue of the Ellicottville Times after the Easter break. In softball, the Lady Eagles lost their first game of the season against Salamanca by a score of 4-3. Their second game was on Wednesday, April 5 home against Portville and will be reported on April 21. The Class D standings have Franklinville 1-0, Forestville 1-0, North Collins 1-1, Clymer 0-1, Ellicottville 0-1, Westfield Academy 0-2 and Brocton 0-2 at press time. On the college scene, local Hinsdale standout for NCAA Division 1 St. Bonaventure Lady Bonnies sophomore #99 Brittany Fair has made 16 game appearances scoring three runs with one stolen base. The Bonnies are 8-20

a hot-bed of activity. For an opportunity to enjoy the lake even more this season, you’ll be able to rent kayaks, SUPs, paddle boats and rowboats at the new Quaker Boathouse. According to John Marino, owner of J-Con Parks, who operates all retail space within the park, “the new Quaker Boathouse area will feature a 10 by 20- foot Amish-made shed placed near the beach near the side of the beach volleyball area.” He added that, “will allow us to sell cold beverages, bait, beach sundries, toys, beach chairs- down near the beach. We will load and unload boats off the shore for this spring in hopes of a docking system similar to the Red House Lake operation.” This will be the first time these types of rentals are available at Quaker Lake, and while the timing of it coincides with the Red House Dam project, which will affect the use of Red House Lake in the summer, this location will be permanent. The new Quaker Boathouse will be open weekends in May and will remain open throughout the summer and

into the fall. “It’s my belief that this location will be very well received and offer guests and water enthusiasts two different lakes to rent watercraft,” Marino said. The Red House Boathouse, offering the same types of rentals, plus canoes and bikes, is scheduled to open in late April, weather permitting. The Park Restaurant, located on the second floor of the Red House Administration Building, will remain open with the current Friday through Sunday schedule through Memorial Day Weekend, after which the hours will be extended. Watch for their summer menu coming next

month, the opening of their outdoor patio for the season and several themed nights planned throughout the summer. For those who frequent the stores within the park, the gift shop inside the Administration Building is open every day and hours will be extending in a few weeks. The two general stores and Quaker Gift Shop will all open at the end of April, weather permitting. Start planning for peak camping season now! Make your reservations at www. reserveamerica.com.

year.” As is always true, Mother Nature is primarily in charge of the snow machine, and she delivered some 230 inches of natural snow fall, compared to just 117 inches in 2016-17. The annual average is 180 inches. But she’s fickle, and both Riley and Eshbaugh reminded us that there were a lot of thaws and rain this season, when February was one of the warmest on record. Thankfully, most of that warmer weather was during the week, with cold weather and snow arriving before the weekend, giving both resorts the opportunity to keep weekend visitors happy and the Village hopping. Of course, both resorts’ continuing investment in snowmaking technology made all the difference. Eshbaugh reported that the resort made 1300 acre-feet of snow, equivalent to 4.5 feet per skiable acre, throughout the season. For Holiday Valley, this is about average in recent years; Riley reported that HoliMont made the most snow in its history this year. While weekday visits were down a bit at both resorts, Eshbaugh said that the Holiday Valley Tubing Park had a very strong year. “The Tubing Park does way better when it’s a bit warmer,” she said. Business is Growing The resorts couldn’t thrive without the hotels, restaurants, shops and entertainment venues that support them in the Village of Ellicottville. The Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce reported that Ellicottville remains “the undisputed driving force for tourism in Cattaraugus County.” One measure of that success is the County’s 5 percent occupancy, or bed, tax collected on all non-native lodging facilities. According to the Chamber, in first quarter 2017, Ellicottville collected 78% of the total bed tax revenue collected in the county -- $217,974 of $279,756 collected. This is the second largest total since the bed tax was created in 2004 and is just 5% off 2011 revenues for the same quarter – the record to date – and a full 41 percent higher than the abnormal 2016 season. With such successes, it’s no wonder that Ellicottville continues to attract new businesses and investment in the area with an eye toward keeping them coming to the area year-round. A new restaurant, Finnerty’s Tap Room, opened this winter at Washington and Mill Streets in the Village Centre behind the Kwik Fill/Red Apple. The restaurant offers 19 beers on tap, an extensive lunch and dinner menu with something for everyone and a great entertainment environment for

of effort by merging certain services and reorganizing the public works functions of both municipalities. The plan calls for formation of a joint sewer and water district, creating a new department of public works and hiring a department director, shared by the town and village, to oversee the joint district as well as the town highway department and the village’s current DPW. The municipalities have hired an engineering consultant to define the organizational structure of the new department and the DPW director’s job description and will help identify qualified candidates for the position. The municipalities also have hired a grant writer to seek outside funding to offset some of the costs associated with structuring the new department. Another jointly funded project is the installation of a new and more energy-efficient HVAC system in the village/ town hall.

The commercial success of Ellicottville Brewing Company’s line of products, whose flagship restaurant and brewery is located at 28 Monroe Street in the village, has prompted the company to expand its brewing and bottling functions into a vacant warehouse in the town of Little Valley. The new manufacturing facility will include a tasting room, tours, an outdoor concert space and a beer museum. Construction is expected to begin early this year. And M&T Bank, moved a couple of blocks down the street to a newly renovated building at 47 Washington Street where you’ll find great service, more parking and both a walk-up and drive-up ATM. Local Governance A major theme for both the town and village of Ellicottville for 2017 is how they can work together to conserve and share resources for projects of importance to both communities. Last year, the two shared the cost of a new tablet computer for the sewer department and each contributed to the restoration of the Village Park’s tennis and basketball courts, a new park security system and a new dog park. Now they are working together to simplify processes and eliminate duplication

Celebrate Earth Day/Arbor Day at Allegany State Park April 15

Earth Day is April 22 . Arbor Day is April 28. These are two events that celebrate two things we couldn’t live without! This year, Allegany State Park combines both these events into one celebration that place on Saturday, April 15 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Red House Administration building. The fun kicks off at 10 a.m. with a one-hour guided Treasure/Tree I.D. hike on Red Jacket Trail -this is also our first 3rd Saturday Trek of the 2017 season. Kids’ activities run from 10 a.m. to noon and will feature Sun Painting –weather permitting. This particular activity will run from 10 to 11 a.m. Bring a t-shirt to paint, or we will have bandanas available for a $1 donation. Sun painted items will be ready to take home around 12:30 p.m. Kids can also paint tree cookies and more! Rounding out the day will be a guest speaker from 12 to 1 p.m., topic to be determined. Ongoing during this event,

participants can test their skills at Nature Trivia and check out various displays such as composting, and recycling. Event attendees are encouraged to bring a lunch to enjoy in the park.

The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic

Preservation oversees 180 state parks and 35 historic sites, which are visited by 62 million people annually.

A LOOK BACK: The United States Enters World War I By Derek M. Otto

April is the one month in United States History that is always highlighted by tragedy or war mongering. The Revolutionary War started on April 19, 1775, starting the American Revolution. South Carolina attacked Fort Sumter April 13, 1861. Lincoln was shot on April 14, 1865. The U.S. declared war on Spain on April 25, 1898. FDR died and the Titanic sank on April 12. So it’s no surprise to learn that the United States entered the Great War in Europe on April 6, 1917. The Europeans had been fighting since war broke out in August 1914 when a Serbian Nationalist Group, the Black Hand, shot and killed Archduke Ferdinand of In 2011, Jacquie Shattner, a distant relative of mine, was researching the life of Lynn Thurber and asked me if I had a picture. Ironically, the Austro-Hungarian Empire when the Methodist Church was rededicating the baptismal font, and through secret alliances the I was going through a file of photos of a family related to the entire continent and eventually Thurbers. Lo and behold, folded in half, I found this picture with the name Lynn Thurber written on the back.

Letter from the Editor

Baseball season is upon us! I grew up going to Bisons games. I remember first seeing our local AAA team when they were still at War Memorial Stadium, and my Dad and siblings still joke about the parking lot attendant loudly repeating “Parking, two dollars!” I remember when Coca Cola Field was built, at the time called Pilot Field. My grandpa took my brother to the first ever game there, and I was so jealous—not sure if it was because I loved baseball or if it was because he got to miss school to go. That year, and for many years afterwards, my grandparents and some friends had a group of six season tickets. My grandparents would trade off with their friends and often get all six tickets, my sister, my brother, my Dad and I could join them. (My Mom is not much of a sports fan.) In those days, the Bisons were the farm team of the Pirates, and we’d excitedly watch MLB hopefuls like Benny Distefano go up to bat as “Benny and the Jets” played over the Jumbotron. As we got older and could bring friends, I remember all piling into my Dad’s convertible and hunching down in the back seat the whole drive to the stadium as to not mess up our giant 80s bangs. We’d stalk the players and the Duke of Earl until they’d autograph our baseballs. We’d snack on ballgame food, like hot dogs and fries, although what my brother and I really wanted were the nachos, which my Dad would always say no to because they were too messy. (As adults, my brother and I now get nachos every time we attend a sporting event together!) These days, while I don’t get to Bisons games as often as I’d like, I do get a chance to take my kids once in a while and it never disappoints. With the home opener this week, it’s hard to believe that 2017 marks the 30th year that the Bisons have been playing at Coca Cola Field. Check out the schedule below, which includes several home games this weekend and into next week. Now is also the time to support our local SGI baseball and softball teams.

A collaboration between saxophonist and SGI graduate Ethan Miller and guitarist Krystin O’Mara, Duende frequently performs in established concert series throughout the United States. Their first CD, “Travel Notebook,” was released on Centaur Records in 2016. Through creative programming, Duende represents a fresh, new direction in contemporary classical music. The group’s musical philosophy is derived from traditional Flamenco terminology in which “duende” is defined as having soul, a heightened state of emotion, and authenticity.

Ely Parker Visits Springville

By Derek M. Otto

On Wednesday March 29, 2017, the Civil War Historical Society of Western New York hosted Mr. Al Parker, a historical interpreter depicting his descendant Ely Parker. By his account, we learned that Ely (pronounced E-Lee) Parker was born on the Tonawanda reservation during a tumultuous time for the Seneca people in 1828. The Ogden Land company had begun to maneuver to abolish Seneca holdings in WNY. Ely’s father, a Sachem and Baptist minister, was a leader in the negotiations with NYS and the land companies. It was here that Ely learned and became proficient in the English language and wrangling of political life. As Parker discussed his life, he noted that his career started with becoming a diplomat and interpreter for the Senecas and was made a Sachem himself in 1852. He was able to get into Rensselaer Polytechnic School, where he studied to be an engineer. Ely later worked to upgrade and maintain the Erie Canal. Through this work, Ely was able to take on other government jobs, one in particular was in Galena Ill, There, he helped break up a bar brawl and make a new friend in Ulysses S. Grant. At one time, Parker apprenticed to be a lawyer in Ellicottville. He passed his bar exams, but was not admitted due to the fact he wasn’t a United States citizen. (Native Americans did not receive citizenship until 1924.) Near the start of the Civil

War, Ely Parker tried to raise a regiment of volunteers for the war, and was torn down by the governor of New York. After being turned down by the Army Corps of Engineers, Ely went to Grant, who commissioned him as a captain. Ely would then rise to the ranks of Adjutant General and secretary to Grant. At the surrender at Appomattox Courthouse, it was Ely Parker who transcribed and wrote the conditions of Lee’s surrender. He concluded with giving details of his life after the war. He was the first Native American to be appointed head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. He left that position after being accused of fraud. Though exonerated, Ely left Washington for a job with the New York City Police Department. Near the end of his life, Ely lost a small fortune and died destitute in 1895. He was buried in Fairfield, CT. He was a Sachem of the Senecas and was later moved to Forest Lawn Cemetery in Buffalo, NY and was reinterred next to Red

Village Board Continued from front page

for the retirement system. The board was then asked to set several public hearings: the first for LL 2017-4, Parking and Traffic on Private Property to be at 7:01 p.m. on April 17, 2017. This law would allow the codes and traffic law be enforced on private property, an example being the use of handicap parking spaces. The second and third were for setting energy usage benchmarks for municipal buildings and permits relating to solar. Krebs opened a discussion on the importance of these resolutions and permits.Both NYSERDA and the DEC have programs for communities that enable them to receive grants. For Springville, this would mean that the village would receive grants for the maintenance and advancement of the municipal electrical department. The board set April 17, 2017, for the public hearing on setting benchmarks for the municipal buildings. They tabled the solar permit public hearing so that the village planning board can review the standard solar permit issued by the state. Superintendent of Public Works Ken Kostnowiak updated the board on 65 Franklin Street’s progress. Currently, more issues are being resolved and it has not been open. He asked the board for a resolution to amend the contract to again credit the village $1850.00 for work that the village electrical department performed. Hopes are that the village could occupy the building soon. “Sometime in 2017,” remarked Liz Melock.

Krebs thanked Melock and Kostnowiak for their continued work on trying to complete the project. “I hoped to see cars in the parking lot and trucks in the garage when I came back this week,” said Krebs. Kostnowiak then asked the board to approve summer hires: Dylan Gasper, Colin Harrigan, Ethan Smith, Riley Stedman, Parker Rice and James Sheerer, all new, all residents of the village, will be employed for $9.75 an hour this summer. In closing his time, Kostnowiak asked the board to approve the annual bids that were opened March 27, 2017. Trustee Moriarty asked about the mowing bid. Kostnowiak stated he had received one bid that was past the time limit of the bid and was not stamped or mailed. The only bid on mowing had to be thrown out. The bid for mowing will be reopened. The second comment was from Nils Wikman who asked about the fuel bid. The fuel bid was separate from the school and village agreement. Officer-in-Charge Nick Budney reported that the Springville Police Department responded to 188 calls this past month and the traffic enforcement was up 100 percent since last year at this time. He noted that Erie County Sheriffs had 376 calls last month. On a positive note, Budney reported on the “Shop with a Cop” program. He received a $2,500 community grant from Walmart that allowed for the program. During the holidays, Shop with a Cop gave adolescents $100 to buy winter

clothing. If money was left, it could be used for a toy. Krebs thanked Budney for bringing this program to Springville. Code Enforcement Officer Mike Kaleta reported that communication is being received on the letters sent out regarding 110 S. Central. The hearing will be held May 15, 2017. He asked the board to approve the permit for Chef’s on the Go food truck. Chef’s has been coming to Springville for various occasions, however, is coming more regularly and applied for the soliciting permit. This has been past practice. Several trustees mentioned that the “brick and mortar” establishments are complaining. Krebs asked Wikman to look into changing the code on food trucks, since the village does not have one. The Control Center asked to appoint Jerome Janik to the permanent position at the control center. Janik is a retired air traffic controller from the Buffalo Airport. In new business, April is the start of the governmental year for villages in New York State. At this time, the village reorganizes for the upcoming year. Only two major changes to this year: first, Nils Wikman will serve as deputy mayor and second, Jeffery Markello has been appointed associate justice for the village. In trustee remarks, Trustee Terry Skelton thanked the trustees and community for the outpouring of support to him and his family in the last week. The next village board meeting is April 17, 2017 at 7 p.m. at 65 Franklin Street, Springville.

Jen’s Quill: Laundry Chute Disappointment

By Jen Lee

My last year of college, I spent a semester on Martha’s Vineyard writing and performing music with a group of 20 other students. As a then 22-year-old, I wrote powerful lyrics like “I’m ridiculous,” “Yeah I’m great, I’m the real deal” and “I’m ridiculous.” I’m not sure if this was during our stint in Nashville or somewhere on the way, but we stayed in a hotel for a portion of the adventure. I don’t really remember the details. I was a college kid, so someone else handled the nitty-gritty. All I know, is there was a hotel. I was the drummer in a band that four of us girls had formed…Blacklisted Hollywood. To qualify for this band position, I said, “I want to be the drummer.” I was horrible, but so happy. Samantha was one of my band mates, and we found ourselves scoping out our temporary home in the hotel. We strolled down hallways and looked around corners. We were 15 stories up and that might not be true, but we were higher than the first few floors. We came to a mini hall that led to a wall with what looked like an out-of-place-oven door. We soon discovered it was a laundry chute. What luck! It was far enough out of anyone’s sight, so we opened it and looked down. As any 20-something-year-old

would, we realized this could be our moment. It was our time to train for spy-dom, of course. Everyone knows spies are constantly scaling up or down small, enclosed vertical tunnels…such as this laundry chute we had happened upon. Our research (looking down the chute) yielded helpful information, such as the fact that it looked wide enough to get us in but narrow enough to allow us to use our bodies to wedge us from falling uncontrolled to the bottom. We looked up…it went way up. We looked down and could see a mountain of white that had to be the start of the laundry room. A plan was hatched. Go down the chute. This plan was swiftly discarded when we thought our spy days would be cut short by death. Still wanting fame, we faked it. Samantha put part of herself in the chute and I took a picture, then we switched. Locating the laundry facility ended up being the most difficult step. It was also the most disappointing step. The room was unlocked so we opened it hoping we wouldn’t get in trouble. You know, by the guard that would be manning the room in case escaped convicts chose to hide there. Now I wish the door had been locked so my insane idea of what a hotel laundry room looks like would have remained intact. Alas, I really wanted to play the role of Annie and jump in a bin, pretending to escape from Miss Hannigan. But no, it turned out to not even be a full room. It was more like a disgusting, smelly, glorified walk-in closet. The worst part? No bin…anywhere. The linens just landed on the cement floor in a giant mound of deflated dreams. I could

almost touch wall to wall with my hands outstretched. Had I gone in there to escape the cops, I would have been a trapped animal with nowhere to hide. The two of us did get a picture as close to the pile as we dared without picking up all the infections of the world. It was the ever-famous “We came falling out of the chute” picture. It wasn’t convincing… the chute was about 13 feet above the linens. I’m not sure anyone believed the photo “proof” of our descent down the laundry chute, but if they didn’t, they were kind enough to go along with the façade. Any hotel linen person I see now gets a look from me that conveys, “I’m so sorry you don’t have bins of linens to play with in the laundry chute room.” They have no idea that’s what my look says and are probably wondering why I’m looking at them like a wounded puppy. I can only hope that not all hotel laundry rooms are created equal. Somewhere, some college kid has just found it and is acting out all my Annie reenactment dreams in those linen bins.

until the legislature is back in session on April 24. Kristin Hughey, Springville Middle School Science teacher and parent, expressed concerns during the public expression period about the reduction of staffing and elimination of positions from the Middle School that are found in the budget. “As you all know, middle schoolers are learners at a very unique stage of their cognitive and emotional development,” stated Hughey. “Many students need more support than others.” She stressed the proposed budget creates a critical loss under the instruction of Middle School ELA, Science, Foreign Language and Social Studies programs. School Board President Allison Duwe outlined the evaluation process for the Superintendent. Emails will go out to Board Members this week and will need to be returned prior to the April 18 meeting. The evaluation will take place with the Superintendent the evening of the May meeting after the vote count. Superintendent Moritz reported that the Family Support Center will not be partnering with GatewayLongview for services due to concerns that implementing any type of an additional fee could end up being costprohibitive to parents. Early Bird Childcare Centers will be delivering UPK services for approximately 5456 students for the 2017-2018 year. Moritz also stated the district will be hiring a full-time art teacher who will work two periods in the morning at the High School and work at the Elementary Schools, which will allow all kindergarteners to receive an additional period of art education each week.

In other news, on Thursday, April 6, the High School administrative team will be working on a risk/threat assessment review program working alongside local law enforcement and EMS providers. This information will be presented at the Staff Development Day on May 15. The Board also voted to approve the hiring of an assistant cross-country coach for the 2017-2018 through 2019-2020 season. High School Principal James Bialasik reported that 28 students will be inducted into the National Honor Society on Thursday, April 6. Middle School Principal Shanda DuClon announced that the Middle School Recognition Breakfast will be held on Friday, April 28 and the Middle School will be holding a chorus concert on May 17 with a rehearsal date on May 16. The assembly that was previously scheduled for May 18 will be canceled for students. Colden Elementary Principal Marcole Feuz shared that representatives from Wild Spirit Education program will be visiting students on Thursday, April 6 and the Canisius Art Moblie is scheduled to visit on April 21. The school will be holding their musical on April 27 at 2 p.m. And 6:30 p.m. and will hold their open house and art show on May 3.

SES Goes Bald for Bucks

SGI Boys’ Varsity Basketball Season Wrap-up

Submitted by Coach Greg Miller

The SGI boys’ Varsity basketball team had an outstanding year both on and off the court. We had a winning record of 14 wins and seven losses, with 11 wins in division play and three losses. It was a successful and fun year. Unfortunately, the great season came to an end when we played Dunkirk on Feb. 24 at home at the Middle School. The team fought back and forth with Dunkirk, but came up short with a 69-49 loss. This season was a success in my mind. The team had its ups and downs, but never allowed the downs get to

them. They worked hard from summer work, fall time open gyms, and throughout the grueling 4-month season. I am proud of each and every one of these players. It was a year to remember and being in my second year as head coach, I couldn’t be prouder of the team. We will continue to develop our program with youth leagues, modified, JV, and eventually Varsity teams. Overall, this was a great season and I am honored to be a part of such a great team. Leading scorers were Mason Goodridge, as he averaged 18.9 points per game, with 50 assists and 39 steals. Mason was awarded the Most Outstanding player for ECIC Division 4 and he was also honored and named to the ALL ECIC Team 2, which included all four divisions in Erie County. Marcus James averaged 13 points per game, with 81 rebounds and 51 assists. Marcus was named to the first team for ECIC Division 4. Dominant play came from senior captains John Domes,

who had 86 rebounds to lead the team and averaged just over 5 points a game. Connor O’Brien had another successful year both offensively and defensively. Lexus Pollard and Austin Coon contributed to a dominating defensive effort every game. It was great having such strong post players this year, leading to more opportunities for our guards to shoot and attack the basket. Greg Cooney was a shutdown defensive player this year and he received the Sportsmanship Award for ECIC Division 4. Some underclassmen who stepped up throughout the year included Tyler Kostelny, Matt Sion, Mike Place, Peter Cooney, and Anthony Lasker. Anthony Lasker took some great steps of improvement this year as he was awarded the Most improved player for the Griffins. Matt Sion was given the Bob Schlageter Award for his hard work, effort, and desire for the game day in and day out of the season.

On Friday, March 31, SES Principal Chris Scarpine got his head shaved during the school’s morning announcements to kick off the Goin’ Bald for Bucks initiative to raise money for Roswell Park. Other students donated and participated by getting their hair shaved or cut off on Thursday, April 6. All four schools in the district participated this year for the first time.

the globe would be at war. The United States had avoided war; it was part of our tradition to stay out of European affairs. The Lusitania cruise ship was attacked by German submarines in 1915 and 135 Americans were killed. The Germans had started their policy of unrestricted submarine warfare; they attacked any vessels that they believed support the Triple Entente (France, Britain, and Russian). We still maintained our neutrality. However, the United States still traded with its traditional allies, the British Empire and France. At one point, we had made an agreement—the Sussex Agreement— with the German Empire called in 1916 that the Germans would not attack our vessels. The Germans needed to distract the United States, and they formed a secret alliance with the Mexican Government. In January 1917, Great Britain intercepted the Zimmermann Telegraph, which described the Germans promising the Mexicans all the land they ceded after the Mexican American War if they started a conflict with the United States. The Germans decided that in February 1917, they would return to a policy of unrestricted submarine warfare for any ship heading toward Great Britain. President Wilson asked for a declaration of war on April 4, 1917 and on April 6, 1917, Congress voted to declare war on Germany. According to Buffalo and Erie County in The Great War (1920), there had been mobilization efforts and aid societies very active in Erie County since 1915. The declaration put these efforts into effect and Springville would not be left out. By the end of the war, many families were affected. Eight men from the Town of Concord were killed. One of them I had researched a few years ago for the Methodist Bicentennial Lynn Atwood Thurber. Thurber was born December 1, 1892 to Henry and Agnes Thurber of 48 Maple Avenue. Lynn’s grandfather, Franklin Thurber, had worked in the area as a mason and Henry labored as a bricklayer. In 1863, the

Thurbers worked to build the old brick Methodist Church on the corner of Franklin and Main Streets. Henry and his brother later bought a twofamily house together on Church Street in Springville. Lynn grew up in the Village of Springville and graduated from Griffith Institute in 1911. For a few years, he worked in the masonry trade and shortly before the war, he was employed by one of the doctors in the village. He was a member of the Fountain Hose Company, the IOOF and Sons of the Veterans of Union Soldiers. On June 5, 1917, Lynn registered for the draft. Realizing he could be drafted soon, he married his sweetheart, Edna Julia Colvin, nine days later on June 14, 1917. He was drafted in early 1918 and left Springville on Feb. 26, 2017 for Camp Upton in Long Island. He briefly came back to Springville before being sent to the European Front. He landed in France on April 16, 1918. Lynn served in Company A of the 305th Infantry and was sent to the Meuse-Argonne offensive. On Sept. 26, 1918 he was “sent over the top,” meaning that he was sent out of his trench and into no-man’s land to attack the enemy’s trench. A mortar shell went off and Lynn was hit. A medic unit was quickly dispatched, but to no avail—Lynn died just two months before the armistice was signed November 11, 1918. He was first buried near Metz, France, before being moved to the Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery in Romange, France. On Nov. 24, 1918, a large memorial service was held at the Methodist Church in Springville, a memorial stone was placed in Springville and later a stone baptismal font was dedicated to him at the Methodist Church. His mother visited his grave in France several years later and his widow visited twice. The Thurbers were one of eight families whose lives were be affected greatly by the events of April 6, 1917. In the coming months, I hope to focus more on some of our veterans and gold star men of Springville.
