Veterans Day celebrated in Springville despite snowy weather

Photo by Kellen M. Quigley The Concord Town Board last week discusses the decision of a 4 percent tax increase for the 2019 town budget during a public hearing. The 4 percent increase, which exceeds the state’s 2 percent cap, required a local law be passed before the adopting the budget.

By Kellen M. Quigley The Concord Town Board last week approved a $4,399,767.31 budget for the 2019 fiscal year that includes a 4 percent tax levy, which exceeded the state tax cap. Before passing the budget, the board approved Local Law 2 for 2018 to OK going over the town’s tax cap by roughly 2 percent. The amount to be raised by taxes is $1,900,557.69. “It’s not something we take lightly, it’s not something that we’ve ever done before, but we find ourselves in a situation where our reserve funds are in short supply to reduce the tax rate,” said Town Supervisor Clyde Drake. “I think this is a responsible budget.” The appropriations in the budget, or what the town plans on spending, had been reduced by $80,000, he said. Drake said that 4 percent for a property valued at $100,000 would equal $16.46 per year. “The reason the taxes are going up is because we don’t have enough unassigned fund balance left from prior years See Town Board page 6

By Kellen M. Quigley Amidst the snow flurries in the air and freezing temperatures, community members in the Springville area gathered Nov. 11 in Shuttleworth Park for annual Veterans Day ceremonies. American Legion Commander Tom Place welcomed all to the ceremony, saying the veterans and local officials were honored the community came out despite

the weather, showing their dedication. In addition to members of the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars posts, members of the Fiddler’s Green Militia were also in attendance and at attention. Place said regardless of what war or conflict they served in or whether they served during war or peacetime, a veteran is still a veteran. See Veterans Day page 3

Gobble for Groceries back for 8th year By Kellen M. Quigley

While Thanksgiving may include a dinner of carved turkey and all the fixings, not everyone is able to enjoy such a meal for many days during the year. More important than the food, Thanksgiving is about being thankful and giving back, which is exactly what the Trading Post has done the past seven years with the annual Gobble for Groceries 5K and 2-mile fun walk. The 8th Gobble for Groceries begins at 8 a.m. on Thanksgiving day, Thursday, Nov. 22, at the Trading Post in Springville. “We have a great committee,” said Peggy Austin, director of the Trading Post, who is helping organize the event for the first time. “I volunteered last year

so I know how much fun it was and what a great event it was, so I’m excited to be a part of it.” In Springville, the Trading Post Outreach Center, located at 38 Franklin St., provides numerous food items to local families in need, as well as a kitchen that serves meals. The Trading Post provides meals or food items to over 40,000 people a year, and stocking its shelves is an ongoing priority. This year, the Watermark Wesleyan Church is involved with the fundraising event for the first time, Austin said. “We’re new to town and we’re excited to be a part of it,” she added. The event began because a group of local runners who regularly attended Buffalo’s busy

Mail Order Homes from Sears By Jolene Hawkins

Looking back to when all of our wishes and whims could be found within the pages of a Sears and Roebuck catalog. Everything from a new camera, to a grand piano, to medical supplies, to hammerless revolvers, to traveling bags to a six-hole steel range stove, to monuments for your loved ones in the graveyard — you can see examples of these at Maplewood cemetery here in Springville — carriages and cars and even houses. We have a few of these houses still standing and being used here in our little village of Springville. In 1906, Frank W. Kushel was a Sears manager, and he is credited with given the suggestion to Richard Sears to sell kit homes through the catalog. The Aladdin Company of Bay City, Mich., offered the first Kit Home through mail order. In 1908, Sears issued its first specialty catalog for houses, featuring 44 house styles and prices ranging from $360 to $2,890. Wages at the

Turkey Trot suggested doing something local that benefited Springville. Gobble for Groceries began with only about 25 runners that first year, but has grown to include about 200 participants in recent years. Event organizer Joe Wolniewicz said close to 300 participated in 2017. Although event participants may “pay” their fee by donating groceries, event organizers said participants could also give a monetary donation for the Trading Post. “We do have building needs, so we’re thinking going forward it would be nice to have cash donations,” Austin said. “But grocery donations are more fun because it is Thanksgiving.”

time were from 22 cents to 60 cents an hour, a pound of sugar was 4 cents, a pound of coffee was 15 cents and eggs were 14 cents a dozen to give you an idea of prices then. The homes had so many features, some had two bedrooms and some four, you could get a cobblestone foundation, a front porch and even a screened-in porch. To meet the needs of the demand of sales, Sear purchased a lumber mill in Cairo, Ill., and a second mill in Port Newark, N.J. They also purchased the Nashwood Sash and Door Company in Norwood, Ohio. With the ability to mass produce the material used in the kit houses and reduce the manufacturing cost, this allowed Sears to pass those savings along to the customers. See A Look Back page 6

Local GOBBLE

Continued from front page Every dollar raised buys seven pounds of food from the Food Bank of WNY for the Trading Post’s food pantry, she added. (Editor’s note: If paying with groceries, this should not include expired food from your pantry or items that need to be refrigerated. Items should include staples like peanut butter, spaghetti sauce and cereal.) Wolniewicz said the although the route has been tweaked slightly from last year’s, it still begins and ends at the Trading Post, 38 Franklin St. in Springville. Awards will be given for top male and female competitors overall and the male and female competitors over 40 years old. Wolniewicz said the prizes will be gift certificates.

A DJ will be on site providing music throughout the event. Austin said other highlights include a variety of refreshments, a basket raffle and a 50/50 drawing. “A lot of local businesses have been donating,” Austin said. “And there will be a turkey on the premises,” she added. Visit with the costumed turkey mingling with the crowd for all your race

photo opps. Besides the committee of organizers, volunteers could be used for various jobs during the event. If you are interested in volunteering, contact Austin at 440-8703. “There are many ways to get involved,” she said. Registration for Gobble for Groceries begins at 8 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 22, with the race starting at 9. For more info, search “Gobble for Groceries” on Facebook or visit www.watermarkwesleyan.com. “Our Mission is to display God’s love to the people in the greater community by meeting the everyday needs and developing caring relationships in an atmosphere that nurtures dignity and hope,” Austin said.

Discussions on financial aspects of Alzheimer’s slated for Ellicottville When a person is given an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, he or she has some serious considerations to review with family members or friends. A program titled, “Legal and Financial Considerations in Dementia Care” will answer questions that arise concerning this important issue will be offered at noon Thursday in St. Paul’s Lutheran Church at 6360 Route 242. The event, provided by the Alzheimer’s Association WNY Chapter, is free and open to the public, said Monica Pomeroy, communications director for the organization. Topics to be discussed include making legal plans that fit individual and family needs; legal documents and what they mean; how to find legal and financial assistance; practical strategies for making a long-term plan of care; and government programs that can help pay for care. “It’s a great program, it covers a lot of things that people don’t even think about,” Pomeroy said. “When you get the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or dementia, it can be a multi-year progression so you need to plan for that.” The plans include financial considerations for the period a person may stop working and is faced with health insurance costs — and if treatments will be covered by insurance. “There are a whole lot of changes going on in the healthcare industry so there is a lot to think about,” Pomeroy continued. “You also have to make sure you know about any programs you may be eligible for from the government and various non-profits such as our respite program.” Pomeroy said the event

will also include another program in partnership with the Cattaraugus County Department of Aging. The other program, a new Caregiver Support Group, will immediately follow the educational program. Following the initial support group session, the group will meet every month on the third Thursday at 1 p.m. in the church. In providing more information on the organization’s social respite program, Pomeroy said it will be held the second Wednesday of every month at Christ United Methodist Church in Olean. The contact for the program is Leona Fisher at (585) 376-7245. “It is ideal for caregivers, it gives them a break so they can tend to their own healthcare, they can take care of errands knowing that their person is in a safe, social environment and is being engaged and is well cared for a couple of hours a month,” she continued. “We run the social respite programs all across the area.” Pomeroy said the organization and programs receive some state funding, but it is primarily financed through fundraising. “We just had in September a Walk to End Alzheimer’s in the village of Allegany,” she added, noting a large walk is also held annually in Buffalo. “We use the funds accumulatively to spread out across the region. A percentage of everything we raise goes right to research, right off the top,” she noted. “Because right now, Alzheimer’s cannot be slowed down, cannot be prevented and is fatal.” For more information on the Nov. 15 programs, to make a seating reservation or for more information on the support groups, call (800) 272-3900.

Members of the American Legion stand at attention during Veterans Day ceremonies in Springville.

“We’re honoring all veterans today,” he said. “We want to remember that their spirit is here, the past, the present and the future veterans. By you coming out here and continuing that, it is certainly a tribute to them.” After the posting of colors by the American Legion Color Guard and the Pledge of Allegiance, local businessman and singer Ted Winkey lead the group in the National Anthem and Dave Carozollow, chaplain of Felton Burns VFW Post 5260, gave the opening prayer. Clyde Drake, supervisor for the town of Concord, said while watching the snowfall over the weekend, he remembered that veterans not only have to survive through battles and conflicts with artillery fire but have to serve in all kinds of weather, including snow. “I was reminded of the American Revolution and the Winter at Valley Forge,” he said. “I thought of the trench warfare conditions of World War I and the snowy conditions of the Battle of the Bulge in World War II.” Drake also mentioned the mountains of Korea, the jungles of Vietnam, the deserts of Northern Africa and the Middle East. “If we shiver here for a few moments, it’s only fitting that we put into perspective what our service men and women have to go through,” he said. From the freedoms of speech and religion to the right to bear arms and make peaceful demonstrations, Drake said there are many reasons to thank veterans for defending what makes our country great. On the 100th anniversary of the Armistice of World War I, he said the “war to end all wars” was among the deadliest conflicts in world history. “While the veterans that fought in that war are gone, it is our duty as Americans to make sure their valor and sacrifice are not forgotten,” Drake said.

Springville Mayor William Krebs said the recent ceremony honoring Dennis Heinz, a Springville native who was killed in action in Vietnam, perfectly captured the depth of experience of serving one’s country and couldn’t have better expressed or memorialized his sacrifice. “After that ceremony, I came right down here (to Shuttleworth Park) and visited these monuments that pay tribute to Springville and Concord’s fallen soldiers,” he said. Upon listening to another veteran’s story while at the park, Krebs said he realized all veterans have stories of their service and commitment to their country and they shouldn’t be forgotten. “It’s the service to others and service to your country that counts most in our lives,” he said. “Springville will not forget, Springville is deeply appreciate and so, today, Springville honors you.” In honor of the 100th anniversary of the Armistice of World War I, Caleb Edbauer from Boy Scout Troop 524 recited the poem “In Flanders Fields,” written during the war by Canadian physician Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae. Following the laying of the wreath by VFW Commander Tom Schalbert and Place, the Color Guard three-volley salute and playing of Taps in honor of the fallen and the closing prayer by Chaplain Carozollo, Place closed the ceremony with a reminder of the importance of celebrating Veterans Day. “You’re carrying on a tradition,” he said. “That veteran’s story and that veteran’s history becomes your present, and your present becomes the next generation’s future.” Place said those traditions are what helps make America mighty, just, united and strong. “It’s our responsibility to carry that torch on, now and forever more,” he added.

Lounsbury Adaptive Ski Program planning for new equipment purchase Lounsbury Adaptive Ski Program (LASP) has set a #GivingTuesday fundraising goal of $8,000. The funds will be used to purchase specialized adaptive ski equipment. With the funds donated through the month-long Give Adaptive Sports campaign, LASP hopes to purchase a specially designed Dynamique Bi-Ski. The Dynamique model being considered costs over $7,000, according to Program Director William Bredenberg. This piece of equipment is a state of the art ski that is specially designed to be used by persons with disabilities such as amputations, spinal cord injuries and cerebral palsy that do not allow them to ski standing up. #GivingTuesday is held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving to kick-off the holiday giving season and inspire people to collaborate in improving their local communities by giving back to the charities and causes they support. This is the third year LASP has participated in the nation-wide event. This season LASP asks #GivingTuesday donors to consider a $30 gift to mark the 30th anniversary of the non-profit that offers adaptive ski lessons to children and adults

with virtually all disabilities, both physical and cognitive. Commonly encountered disabilities among skiing participants include spinal cord injuries, amputations, Down syndrome, spina bifida, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, visual impairment, autism and developmental delay. LASP was founded in 1988 in memory of Bill Lounsbury. Bill was a member of the ski patrol at the Holiday Valley Resort in Ellicottville who lost a leg to cancer. He refused to give up the sport he loved and taught himself to ski on one leg. Since its founding in 1988, LASP has grown from four instructors teaching 14 students in a total of 35 lessons to over 40 instructors who collectively teach more than 250 lessons during a single ski season. All instructors are volunteers who are specially trained in adaptive ski teaching methods. Over half of these instructors are certified by the Professional Ski Instructors of America (PSIA). Contact Bredenberg at 510-6435 or LounsburyAdaptive@yahoo.com.

Holiday Valley gearing up for 2018–19 ski season By Deb Everts Holiday Valley has been making plans for an exceptional 2018–19 winter season. This is mostly due to the $3.4 million the resort has invested in upgrades, including improvements to their automated snowmaking system, a conveyor lift on the beginner’s slope and several “tree trails” for kids, as well as a new groomer and shuttle van. Jane Eshbaugh, director of marketing at Holiday Valley, said there are lots of projects going on in preparation for the upcoming ski season. She said Holiday Valley has the most snowmaking guns available in this region, and the resort has added 14 new automated guns that will be part of the automated system already in service. She said the automated controllers make it possible to control all the guns from a central location at the same time. “We also have another 100 high-efficiency snowmaking guns that are not automated at this time, but are expected to be in the automated system in the future,” she said. “We have just purchased many of the guns that will be exchanged for some of our older guns. The new guns will be more energy efficient and use less energy. The ones we had were already very good, but these are even better.” According to a press release from Holiday Valley, $250,000 was dedicated to automated snowmaking improvements. The resort began installing HKD Klix automated snowmaking in 2011 and has been expanding the system each year. Holiday Valley has the largest and most powerful HKD automated snowmaking system on the East Coast.

Automation has the advantage of quick startups and shutdowns, so even if favorable snowmaking temperatures exist for just a couple of hours, the system can make snow efficiently. The Klix system also has weather stations that monitor temperature and humidity, so the guns can automatically and individually adjust to changes. The result is a better quantity and quality of snow made with less energy. “We also added more snowmaking to the Tubing Park. New York state came up with a program to encourage ski areas across the state to create more efficient snowmaking to save energy and, although we were already very efficient, we replaced some of the guns at the park that will be even more efficient,” Eshbaugh said. Eshbaugh said they are going to add three “fan guns” that look like a giant cannon and are portable, so they can be moved to the exact spot where they are needed. She said three are being installed at the Tubing Park and one at the main resort that they will use in certain spots, like the base of slopes where more snow is needed. According to Eshbaugh, there are a lot more improvements beyond the

snowmaking system. She said the grooming crew has added a new PistenBully 100 groomer to their fleet of six PistenBully 600s. She said this machine is more maneuverable. It has a smaller blade and tiller for shaping and maintaining terrain park features and other areas that require finer work, including shaped snow learning terrain for beginners. The new groomer also has an attachment for setting one or two cross-country tracks on the resort’s 15 kilometers of cross-country trails. “We have some trails along the golf course and some that go across the ridge from Cindy’s all the way over to Spruce Lake,” she said. “Those are all natural areas where we don’t make snow so, weather permitting, if there’s a good amount of snow cover, we’ll be able to set track on those trails.” Slippery Streets is an integral part of Holiday Valley’s beginner’s terrain. Eshbaugh said a new conveyor lift, much like a moving sidewalk people see in an airport, will replace the existing handle tow. She said this will make the trip up the hill much more accessible and enjoyable for beginners, especially snowboarders. “We also added another conveyor lift at the Tubing

Park where we had two handle tows,” she said. “Basically, if you’re at the Tubing Park, you’ll be able to take more slides down the hill in your allotted time.” The Holiday Valley Mountain Crew cleaned out downed trees and branches in the woods between the slopes this summer to increase the area available for woods skiing and riding. Eshbaugh said they also created three fun, little trails called “Tree Trails” that run alongside the main slopes through the trees for the children’s program lessons. Weather permitting, the Holiday Valley snowmaking crew will get started in mid-November for the targeted opening date of Friday, Nov. 23, right after Thanksgiving. Holiday Valley is Western New York’s largest yearround resort featuring 60

slopes and trails, 13 lifts, three base lodges, slopeside lodging and dining, conference facilities, an 18hole golf course, a treetop aerial adventure park, a mountain coaster and a summer pool complex. The resort is located

along Route 219, just 50 miles south of Buffalo. For more information, contact Eshbaugh at 699-3904 or jeshbaugh@holidayvalley. com. Visit online at holidayvalley.com.

Barkley sparks win, but Allen’s still the starter By Chuck Pollock So what do we make of the Bills’ domination of the Jets on Sunday afternoon at the Meadowlands? In the midst of a four-game losing streak, three of them blowouts, just when we thought Buffalo would be “mailing it in” over the final seven games, it conjured one of its two best performances of the season. Of course, those following the Jets quickly assessed that the players were so over beleaguered coach Todd Bowles, they put out their less-than-best effort in order to hasten his exit via the 41-10 defeat. But that does a disservice to the Bills, who heard a similar refrain when they went into Minneapolis and manhandled the Vikings — favored by 17 points — back in September. That the Jets and Minnesota put in a substandard effort is inarguable, but that’s a “them” problem not a Buffalo issue. Indeed, many of the faithful questioned the Bills’ own inspiration in losses to the Colts and Bears. However, there was no such accusation Sunday. From Buffalo’s first possession — a touchdown in two plays covering 75 yards in 49 seconds — you sensed this game would be different. Start with the fact its quarterback, Matt Barkley, was signed less than two weeks earlier and hadn’t thrown an NFL pass in nearly 13 months. But his calm, efficient performance seemed to inspire the whole roster. The former USC star went 15-of-25 passing for 232 yards with two touchdown passes, no interceptions and an impressive 117.4 passer rating in leading the Bills to their highest point and yardage total (451) since October 2016. OF THE emphatic victory, coach Sean McDermott noted, “It feels good. The guys have worked hard and it’s been a long ride to get to this point in the season. We’ve got this late bye (after) going through the games on the road (5 of the first 7) like we’ve had earlier in the year. The guys pushed through to get to where we are and got the results that we got yesterday. They were focused and played with a great amount of energy.” He added, “One thing that will always stick with me is that every year there’s new challenges; even when we were 15-1 and went to the Super Bowl in Carolina, there were challenges as well. It’s a test of how long a team can stay

together, and with this young football team, we’ve got to learn from the adversity that we face and help it to make us stay stronger.” BUT DON’T expect to see Barkley starting if first-round draft choice Josh Allen is ready 12 days from now against Jacksonville at New Era Field. “Josh is our starter when healthy and his development is important for him and for us as we move forward, getting experience,” McDermott said. “Matt performed extremely well yesterday. Certainly, there are some plays he would like to have back, but to come in and do what he did on short (preparation) was very impressive. “I liked the look in his eye and his energy he gave our offense and just managing the game. We came close a couple of times (to a penalty), but we didn’t have to burn a timeout with the play-clock running down. That says a lot about the way he managed the game and led the offense.” But McDermott made it clear, despite that, it’s still Allen’s job. “There’s something to be said for energy and momentum,” he said of the Bills’ response to Barkley. “At the same time, I know what Josh can do. But, I don’t dismiss and certainly appreciate what Matt gave us yesterday.” Still, considering second-year pro Nathan Peterman was waived yesterday afternoon — Buffalo now has three QBs on its 53-man squad — and with 35-year-old Derek Anderson still in concussion protocol, it would seem Barkley, seven years younger, might well emerge as the Bills’ backup QB of the future. But McDermott also warned about putting too much emphasis on one game … even an emphatic win. “Yesterday was not the end result of anything … it’s easy to get hung up on one game (but) the process continues with us,” he said. “We’ve got to continue to build this thing. Brandon (Beane, general manager) and I understand where we are. It was great to see so many young players yesterday out on the field; I counted six or seven on defense at one point, first and second year players. (There were) six or seven on offense. “Those players making big-time plays in a game like that (is) very encouraging for the future and we have to continue to build on that.”

Village passes sign change in front of auction driveway

By Kellen M. Quigley

Those pulling out of the Gentner Commission Auction driveway onto West Main Street in Springville could expect a safer move onto the roadway after a change to signage for standing and parking on the street. The village Board of Trustees last week approved Local Law 4 of 2018, which moves the current “No Standing” sign from 30 feet east of the auction driveway to 134 feet east of the driveway on the north side of West Main Street to increase visibility and a safe exit from the auction. “Upon the recommendation of our police force, we were advised to change our code for public safety matters up there,” said Mayor William Krebs. “On one side it extends the no parking zone a little bit further.” However, the “No Standing” sign’s distance on the west side would remain at 36 feet west of the driveway. Additionally, concerning Local Law 4, the board accepted a State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) and negative declaration, meaning no significant adverse environmental impacts to the area. In the Department of Public Works, the board approved the purchasing of new and used CCTV sewer cameras to J & J Equipment of Brewerton in the amount of $69,699. Superintendent Kenneth Kostowniak also recommended the board approve disposing of 10 burned out LED fixtures via scrapping.

Kostowniak also reported that leaf collection had been ongoing and he said he’s thankful for the village residents who raked their leaves to the curb but not in the road. In the police department, 210 calls were handled and 2,151 miles patrolled during October. Code Enforcement Officer Mike Kaleta reported that work on 37 S. Central Ave. continues, including tearing out the first-floor floor and “shoring up” the outside. IN OTHER BUSINESS, the board authorized the mayor to sign an agreement with Municipal Solutions for financial advisement in case of bonding. “We do this every year so that we have a contract, so if we do offer bands or bonds we have someone that we can work with, and it’s been working out quite well,” the mayor said. The board also approved: • use of the Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA) system, which is also through Municipal Solutions; • transfer of $270 of DWI funds in the General Fund Balance for the police budget; and • returning $132,989.84 of unpaid 2018-19 taxes to Erie County. The next regular Board of Trustees meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Nov. 19 on the second floor of the Public Safety Building at 65 Franklin St.

A LOOK BACK Continued from front page

In, 1910 the kit homes now included gas and eclectic fixtures. And by 1912, Sears began offering financing plans. Early loans were for 5 to 15 years at a rate of 6 to 7 percent interest. The entire home would arrive by railroad on a boxcar. Precut lumber (all numbered) 10,000 to 30,000 pieces, 750 pounds of nails, carved staircases, the varnish needed, pedestal sinks for the bathroom, kitchen sinks, plumbing, electrical wiring and lights were included along with a 75 page instruction book, window trim, clapboards, fascia and soffit, yellow pine for framing. The kitchen and bathroom floors were solid maple, tongue and grove, and sometimes you could even get a work crew provided through Sears and Roebuck to put it up.

If not, family and friends would help in what was considered a house raising. They were one of the first mass builders to utilize “balloon” style framing which only requires one carpenter on site, as well as using drywalls for walls, asphalt shingles for the roof and central heating. These advanced building materials made for modern homes that were less expensive to build and safer to live in. By 1923, Sears expanded its line to reflect the growing demand for rural customers for ready-made buildings. They introduced a new specialty catalog, Modern Farm Buildings and Barns. The barn catalog boasted “a big variety of scientifically planned” farm buildings, from corncribs to tool sheds. The simple durable and easy way it was to construct a Sears farm

The Carolsel Shop Hand Painted Polish Pottery 38 East Main St. Springville, New York 716.592.3902

buildings made them particularly attractive to farmers. Sears estimated that, for a precut kit house with fitted pieces, it would take only 352 hours opposed to the 583 hours for a conventional house, a 40 percent reduction in time and work. Do you remember the Sears and Roebuck catalog with Kit Homes for sale? Did you know of someone who had one of those homes or lived near one? Do you have a picture of one of those homes pre- or post-build? We’d love to hear about it!

(Alex Bailey/Twentieth Century Fox via AP) This image released by Twentieth Century Fox shows Rami Malek, left, and Gwilym Lee in a scene from “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

By Kellen M. Quigley Pseudo-musical biopics about the most famous musicians in the world have been a part of the awardshopeful movie season for decades. From “The Doors” and “Ray” to “Walk the Line” and “The Coal Miner’s Daughter,” a look at the lives of some of the biggest pop stars ever can be amazing or an insult to their memories. With “Bohemian Rhapsody,” the spirit of Freddie Mercury and the legacy of Queen is well intact, but not without a few hiccups along the way. Under the direction of Bryan Singer, seeing the story of Queen’s formation through their performance at Live Aid is entertaining, but lacking in deeper substance. It’s difficult to capture the entire life of an influential artist with enough time allowed for the most important moments in their career and including many of their best songs without feeling rushed. While the performances and filmmaking are great, any time that could have been given to a more personal look into Mercury and the other band members is often used to show one more concert while hearing one more song. A spectacle to be sure, but I hoped for something more. Primarily focusing on Mercury (portrayed by Rami Malek), the film begins in 1970 when the airport employee with dreams of stardom approaches guitarist Brian May (Gwilym Lee) and percussionist Roger Taylor (Ben Hardy) after their bassist/lead singer quits their former band. Joined by bassist John Deacon (Joe Mazzello), the band now known as Queen works their way onto the radio, up the charts and across the world with experimental albums and unforgettable hits such as “Killer Queen,” “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “We Are the Champions.” Although they become the biggest band in the world, Mercury’s private life and tensions between the bandmates cause plenty of troubles along the way to their definitive performance at Live Aid in 1985. Regardless of how paintby-numbers the film can feel at times, the performances by the leads is what drives this story for its whole 2-hour, 15-minute runtime. Besides

them looking almost exactly like their real-life band counterparts, everything from how they talk and sing to their mannerisms and stage presence is spot on. Unsurprisingly, Malek dominates the screen as arguably the greatest frontman in rock history. While no one can completely capture Freddie’s presence, Malek gets pretty close. The range in his performance both vocally and emotionally in the craziest and saddest of times is mesmerizing. Although this is Freddie’s story and Malek’s movie, my favorite performances came from Lee and Hardy as May and Taylor, respectively. And the real guys must have been OK with these actors because the two surviving Queen members were executive producers on the film. Unfortunately, while their story is a great one, the way it’s told here felt like nothing more than a cleaned up Wikipedia page. Through most of the film, each subsequent sequence could have been titled with the sections of the band’s entry on the site. “Early Days,” “A Night at the Opera,” “Mercury’s illness,” “Live Aid and Later Years,” all the bullet points are there and checked off. Again, Queen is such a fascinating case of the rise, fall and re-birth of stardom. But outside of reading their biography on the internet, this movie doesn’t show much that’s new. Conversely, there’s so many inside jokes and references, you’d have to be a Queen fan to enjoy them all. Luckily, the entire production looks fantastic. Singer’s team of cinematographer Newton Thomas Sigel and editor John Ottoman made most of the “X-Men” movies look unlike any other in superhero cinema, and they work their magic again here. Every concert performance, studio recording session and party Mercury throws are unmatched spectacles of awe. Even if the substance of the story is lacking, seeing the members of Queen on stage performing some of their best songs portrayed by this cast under Singer’s direction is worth it. While not as heavy hitting or Oscar-worthy as some other musical biopics, you could do a lot worse than “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

Although residents of chilly climates come to expect the flakes and gathering snow mounds, some people never quite get used to the cleanup involved in keeping neighborhoods safe and accessible. In March 2014, North America was covered by the third-highest amount of snow that late in the season since record keeping began in 1966, according to NOAA’s U.S. National Ice Center. Snow can begin in September and October in some northern areas and stretch on until early spring. It pays to learn the best ways to deal with snow and to incorporate some environmentally friendly strategies as well. The most eco-friendly way to remove snow is to wait until the spring thaw when it’ll melt. Unfortunately that is not practical for most people. Therefore homeowners and business owners need to look to other methods to clear driveways, parking lots and sidewalks of the white stuff. · Human-powered effort. The greenest method to clearing snow is to get out the shovel or a broom and put in some hard work. Though seldom an easy task, manual power doesn’t rely on fossil fuels

nor does it create emissions or loud noises that other methods of snow removal will. Plus, snow-shoveling also is the most costeffective method of snow removal. Invest in a quality shovel and get used to angling the blade so that you’re doing more pushing than scooping and lifting. You also can use Mother Nature to your advantage. Try to clear snow early in the day, and then let the sun and any warming of the afternoon take care of melting some of the leftover thin coatings of snow. · Use an ecofriendly ice melt. The best way to break-up ice is to chop it up and clear it away. But when that isn’t plausible, use ecofriendly ice melting products instead of traditional salt or other melts. Run-off from certain products can increase salinity in bodies of water. Salt can prevent plants from absorbing moisture and nutrients, killing grass and gardens. Plus, icemelt products may leach heavy metals into the environment. · Electric power is better. If you need to rely on a snow blower, opt for an electricpowered model. It will be quieter than others and also the cleanest. If you can combine an electric blower with solar panels, you’ll be reducing your energy usage even further, all the while keeping a clean and safe landscape. · Contract with an environmentally friendly service. Commercial snow-removal services and landscapers can make fast work of snow removal. These companies rely on equipment that reduces emissions, use ecofriendly ice melt and outfit their plows with blades that will minimize damage to roadways and driveways. Research the options in ecofriendly snow removal companies.

Three dozen SGI inducted into National Junior Honor Society

JV/V Girls Basketball vs. Gowanda Scrimmage @ 5pm JV/V Boys Basketball @ E. Aurora scrimmage @5:15pm Submitted photo Thirty-six eighth graders at Springville-Griffith Institute were inducted into the National Junior Honor Society last week.

By Elyana Schosek The evening of Nov. 7 was filled with joy and a little bit of anxiety for 36 of Springville-Griffith Institute’s eighth graders who were inducted into the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS). The ceremony began at 6 p.m. with students and their parents entering early. All were welcomed with a smile from the greeter, Madame Landers, though the soon-to-be members of NJHS were surely still nervous. Along with the inductees and their parents, several teachers and special guest Abby Stressinger, the high school’s president of the National Honor Society, were also present. Kimberly Ploetz, advisor of NJHS, began the ceremony by welcoming those in attendance and leading them in the Pledge of Allegiance. Following Ploetz’s opening remarks, Stressinger spoke to the students, congratulating them on their hard work that has led them up to this point. Following those two short but meaningful speeches were the Lighting of the Candles. Each candle represents a trait that each inductee has proved his or herself to possess: scholarship, service, leadership, citizenship and character. Each trait was elaborated upon by a teacher from the middle school who are also committee members for NJHS. Mrs. Lewandowski

talked about scholarship, service by Mrs. Krzemien, leadership by Mrs. Ricci, citizenship by Mrs. Canfield and character by Mrs. Valenti. Middle School Principal Shanda DuClon and Mrs. Lewandowski, a member of the NJHS committee, presented the membership certificates to the inductees. The inductees were called up one at a time and escorted by a marshall, who were often parents, older siblings or grandparents. The students then walked onto the stage and waited there until all inductees were called up. Parents were given an opportunity to take a photo of the group. Friends and family were then invited to stay for cake and cookies in celebration of the accomplishments of these excellent students. Students were selected for NJHS based on their academics throughout 6th and 7th grade. If they were on the honor roll for every quarter of these two grades then they were given an application. The purpose of this application was to show that “they have one leadership quality, 10 community service hours, one student activity outside of school, one community activity outside of school, four character forms and two letters of recommendation stating that the inductee has positive leadership and character traits,” Ploetz said. This chapter of NJHS has been welcoming new members since 2010. Each new member is received

by stating the Inductee’s Pledge: “I pledge myself to uphold the highest purposes of the National Junior Honor Society to which I have been selected. I will be true to the principles for which it stands; I will be loyal to my school; and will maintain and encourage high standards of scholarship, service, leadership, citizenship, and character.” The following people and groups were thanked: SGI Board of Education, Superintendent Kimberly Moritz, Principal Shanda DuClon, NJHS Faculty Council, SGI MS Custodial Staff, Middle School Student Council, NHS President Abigail Stressinger and parents and families for all their support and hard work. Members include: Riley Ballantyne, Ava Beaudoin, Garrett Casey, Brayden Cerrone, Elizabeth Clark, Jackson Crone, Matthew Delasandro, Lily Dziak, Benjamin Einarsson, Cassius Fisher, Sydney Fuller, Simon George, Gracie Gilcrist, Tanner Glass, Teri Iekel, Finn Martin, Marissa Martens, Garrett Maul, Piper Maul, Ayla Oakley, Lucien Oakley, Garrett Reynolds, Ella Robinson, Maria Rumfola, Christian Safford, Samara Schiefer, Justin Simmons, Mckenzie Small, Arianna Smith, Braden Steiner, Joshua Sullivan, Grace Terhune, Bradyn Termer, Julia Uhteg, Ella Underberg, Ella Wittman.

Krezmien finishes 36th in the state in Class C

Springville junior Sonya Krezmien’s cross country season came to a close Friday morning in the state championship, recording an impressive time to crack the top 40 in Class C. Representing Springville and Section 6, Krezmien finished 36th in the NYSPHSAA Class C cross country championships out of

130 runners at Sunken Meadow State Park, hosted by Section 11. Krezmien finished the five-kilometer race in 21:00.2. In total, Krezmien was 194th out of 454 runners in the state. She helped Section 6 take fourth out of the 11 sections competing for the sectional team championship.

“I just had to work hard in French class and stick with it all the way to senior year. It means a lot knowing that I’ve worked hard in French for the past 6 years,” said Al Francisco. Al said he enjoys the days they listen to French music and make crêpes in class. Samantha Gorski mentioned that she also enjoys eating crêpes and playing games in class. “In French class we learn a lot about the culture by watching French movies, listening to French music and understanding the history and locations around the world where the culture is still prominent,” said Anna Lawton. “It gives me a deeper understanding of the language.” Caleigh also brought up the unique methods they use to learn French, such as Music Mondays when they learn a new French song and listen to some old ones. Anna said knowing a second language allows her to gain a new perspective and gain the ability to communicate with a wider variety of people. “I think in this day

in age, it is crucial for everyone to know a second language, especially in the United States,” Makayla said. “It connects you to the world. I have been fortunate enough to go to France, but even if I hadn’t gone, I still would feel like I had just through knowing the language.” Rebecca Moriarty said being a part of FNHS is an honor that demonstrates she is a hard-working, open-minded student. “Learning a new language is never easy, so being able to be recognized for our accomplishments in high school is really outstanding,” she said. “It shows my dedication to my interest in the French language. I have always known I would want to take French throughout my years in high school,” Kelsey Zabawa added. These 12 students have put in a tremendous amount of effort to succeed in French and advance themselves this far. They credit their teacher, Madame Brown, for making class fun and entertaining along with their own determination.

Twelve inducted into French NHS reflect on 6 years in program

Photo by Elyana Schosek The 12 new inductees of the National French Honor Society

By Elyana Schosek Twelve SpringvilleGriffith Institute students were inducted into the National French Honor Society, or the SGI Société Nationale de Français, on Wednesday, Nov. 7. This opportunity comes to students who have taken French class for five years and are in French 5. These students were: Makayla Case-Machelski, Jenasis Fisher, Al Francisco, Samantha Gorski, Allie Lavanture, Anna Lawton, Rebecca Moriarty, Caleigh Trzcinski, Grace Zabawa, Kelsey Zabawa, Samantha Zifra and Rejeanne Butzer. Their advisor, Valerie Brown, is the French teacher at SGI High School. According to Madame Brown, the purpose of the National French Honor Society is “to stimulate interest in the study of French, to promote high standards of scholarship, to reward scholastic achievements, to create enthusiasm for French and the understanding of francophone culture, to promote and perpetuate international friendship and to reward efforts toward furthering

solidarity in the Frenchspeaking world. The aim is to foster and encourage the study of the French language and culture.” Allie Lavanture said being able to speak another language is one of the most impressive things to her and loves knowing it challenges her brain. “I also desire to travel to France someday and to have a background of the language will certainly

help,” she added. Makayla CaseMachelski said she always planned to take French and after starting it in middle school was a part of her. “I think it is important for everyone to know a second language because there are more than just English speakers in the world,” she said. “And if other countries can take time out of their lives to learn our language, why

can’t we do the same?” Grace Zabawa said she genuinely enjoys it because the class and looks forward to learning about other cultures and things I can utilize in the real world. “I really enjoyed the culture and the language itself,” said Caleigh Trzcinski. “We’ve learned about not only the culture in France but also in Quebec, Martinique and Louisiana.” She also said she would like to move to Canada one day and would like to know their second language for better communication.
