New year, new website, same old village Ashford board not certain new bridge is the way to go By Colleen Mahoney

SPRINGVILLE JOURNAL EDITOR

The village of Springville is getting a makeover, at least on the Internet, they are. Set to launch later this month, the renewed village website, of the same domain name, aims to keep residents up-to-date and informed. The homepage banner highlights notable Springville landmarks in pictures, including a view straight down Main Street. Below the photos is an excerpt welcoming site visitors to Springville, followed by a brief summary of the village. A list of news articles will keep those who visit the site informed about Springville happenings. The page also features links to other village services, such as electric, garbage, sewer and water, among others. Contact information for village officials and board members is available on the website, and with one click, an email can be sent off. Mike Kaleta, code enforcement officer and building inspector for the village, has been working on updating the site, said the aim is to make the village as “digital as possible.” A forms page on the website connects residents to village applications for everything from general building permits to operating permits and garage sales.

An updated Springville website, set to go live later this month, welcomes visitors with pictures of scenes from the village, including this one of Fiddler’s Green Park. Applications and permits can be viewed and printed right from the website, Kaleta said. Regulations for permits, including buildings and pools can be found under the forms tab, as well. “We’re hoping it will be one-stop,” said Kaleta of the new site. “Once it goes live we’ll add more, and keep adding as time goes on.” A calendar of events will be featured on the site, also, showcasing village and community events. Event organizers will be able to submit their events on the

website, making it easier to get information out to community members. Residents who are looking to stay well informed can simply add their email address into the “Notices” box, located on the right hand side of all the pages. Residents who add their email address will be sent an email notification of most everything happening in the area. From times and dates of board meetings, to road closures and village news, Springville officials will be able to get informa-

tion out to village residents quickly. Not only will the village be able to keep the residents informed, but residents will be able to keep the village informed, as well. Kaleta said community members will be able send a complaint directly to the village from the updated website. Complaints can be left anony-

We s t Va l l e y C e n t r a l School graduate Brad Frank will join the ranks of the West Valley Demonstration Project, announced Paul Bembia, site manager and director. The announcement came during the Jan. 14 Ashford Town Board meeting when the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority representative gave his update. Frank will fill the program manager position, which has been open since July 2014. A West Point Military Academy and St. Bonaventure University alumnus, Frank previously worked at CHPWD as a supervisor of decontaminating and Kinder Morgan, as an operations supervisor, Frank also served as a captain of the U.S. Army. He started working at the West Valley Demonstration Project as of Jan. 15. Town Supervisor Chris Gerwitz is sending a fouryear projected budget to Senator Catharine Young, at her request, including past hardships of the town. The supervisor also read a letter that was sent to resi-

dents who will be inside the boundaries of the proposed municipal water district, which encouraged all residents to be present for a Jan. 21 public meeting. The board opened bids from eight companies, for the work on Fox Valley Road, which ranged in price from $171,700 to $49,406. The bids will be reviewed and awarded in February to ensure work can be completed by June. Board member John Pfeffer expressed his displeasure with replacing the bridge over Cattaraugus Creek, connecting Erie and Cattaraugus counties. Stating that the only reason the bridge was being replaced was because “enough people donated to [Congressmen] Chris Collins,” and an exit and entrance ramp should have been built on both sides of the creek on U.S. Route 219, which would render the former 219 bridge obsolete. Board members agreed to send a letter to the Department of Transportation to better understand what is

mous, Kaleta said, but those wishing to hear back from the village can add their contact information. The website will house minutes from board meetings, as well as agendas, though Kaleta admitted some logistics are still being worked out with meeting minutes. A Helpful Links section provides websites for other notable municipalities, including the town of Concord, Erie County and New York state. And sections for education, health services, religion and senior services provides in-depth information on organizations in the

village and links to their websites. Viewable and printable village documents are available on the site, including the Comprehensive Master Plan, village codes and budgets. The village has been working the updated website, which will still use villageofspringvilleny.com, since April of 2014. Mayor William Krebs was the driving force behind the update, Kaleta said, who had been complaining about the old site for “a long time.” Once the site goes live, there will be more control inhouse for the village, which

Take a class and plan your garden for a winter escape

There isn’t a lot you can do outside in your garden at this time of year, but there is a lot you can do inside. Set aside some time for planning. If you don’t know where to start, try classes at the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens, 2655 South Park Ave., Buffalo. They’re taught by David Clark of Hamburg, professional horticulturist and educator, who is not only knowledgeable, but very entertaining. Classes are held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays, you can take horticulture III or IV, even if you didn’t take horticulture I or II. You can take individual classes, but there’s a discount when you sign up for the entire course. The cost is $22 per class or $100 per course for Botanical Gardens members, or $27 per class or $120 per course for non-members. Upcoming classes are: Horticulture III HCP 301 - Feb. 21 - Sustainable Landscaping. HCP 302 - March 7 - Gardening with Native Plants. HCP 303 - March 28 Shade Gardening. HCP 304 - April 18 Small Space and Urban Gardening. HCP 305 - May 30 - Beneficial Insects & Pollinators. Horticulture IV HCP 401 - Feb. 28 - Gardening for Wildlife. HCP 402 - March 21 Four Seasons Gardening. HCP 403 - April 11 - Creative Containers & Raised Beds. HCP 404 - April 25 Herbs and Medicinal Plants. HCP 405 - June 6 - Backyard Ecology. In the meantime, here are some things to think about as you plan your garden. How you want to use your landscape? Do the kids or pets need room to run around? Will you throw large parties? Do you want to grow all your own food? Do you want a yard filled entirely with flowers? Obviously, if you had a space filled entirely with flowers, you couldn’t do any of the other things. Know how you will use the space and make accommodations for those activities.

neighbors lose branches or whole trees in the Snowvember storm? Has a tree gotten larger without you noticing? Is a neighbor’s new shed shading part of your yard? Your garden may be sunnier or shadier than it was in previous years, take that into account as you choose plants for your garden. A final tip that I’ve heard from home gardeners and

experts alike is this: Start small. It’s okay if you don’t know exactly what your landscape will look like five years from now. Plant something and enjoy.

Correction of S-GI story The Jan. 10 article “SGI admin not hopeful for increased state aid,” incorrectly stated that the Springville Griffith-Institute Board of Education would vote on raising the veterans tax exemption at their Jan. 20 meeting. Further discussions were postponed. The Springville Journal apologizes for any and all misunderstandings.

Harley-Day Valley JANUARY 24, 2015 CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO

Your gardens, like the ones at the home of Marg Rust of Hamburg, can evolve over the years, but a little planning can help you guide them in the direction you want. Wi l l y o u h a v e a n i n ground pool, waterfall, pond, wall, fence or paths? These “hardscapes” are features that don’t move, so it’s better to have them in place first and plant around them. Don’t forget about trees and shrubs. This is something many gardeners don’t think about at all, but it should be one of your first considerations—trees and shrubs are large and stay in the same place from year to year. They not only provide a backdrop for other plants, but can be beautiful specimens on their own, with showy flowers in the spring or colorful leaves in the fall, times when you may not be getting much oomph from other plants. Trees and shrubs can also provide fruit and nuts. How much time do you want to spend maintaining

your landscape? When you see an amazing garden on a garden walk, ask the owners how much time they on it. Don’t be surprised if they tell you they spend three or more hours a day weeding and watering. If you don’t want to spend that much time, don’t choose a highmaintenance landscape. What are you missing from your garden? What do you wish you had done last year, but didn’t? Perhaps you’re longing for crocuses and tulips and other spring flowers, but realize now that you should have planted the bulbs in the fall. That’s okay; you’re making a gardening plan for the entire year. For September, make a note to buy spring-flowering bulbs and plant them. How much sunlight do the different areas of your yard get? Did you or your

NYS Law for Electronic Recycling It is now unlawful for residential households in New York State to place electronic equipment at the curb for disposal. Due to this change in law, Waste Management will no longer be collecting electronic waste at the curb even with a Village Garbage Sticker or segregated from the rest of the household trash. However, consumers and homeowners do have other options for recycling their electronic waste. New York State law requires manufacturers to take responsibility for recycling many types of electronic equipment they have produced, such as computers, computer peripherals, televisions, small scale servers, and small electronic equipment, etc. Manufacturers now provide free and convenient acceptance programs for NYS consumers to properly reuse and recycle their waste electronic equipment. Retailers that sell electronics offer free recycling of electronic waste. This is in cooperation with the manufacturers of electronics and an extension of their responsibility to operate in New York State. Best Buy for example, accepts most electronics for recycling. To learn more, visit www.bestbuy.com and search “electronics recycling”. Consumer should visit the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation’s website at http://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/66872.html. For a full list of the types of electronic equipment covered by this law and learn how they may manage their electronic waste in an environmentally responsible manner. Timothy L.

Springville Journal / Saturday, January 17, 2015

Journal Editorial W W W. S P R I N G V I L L E J O U R N A L . C O M

A West Valley sports merger will provide invuable lessons In the absence of my reporter, who is acting editor of the West Seneca Sun for six weeks, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken on a few more beats than I normally cover. When Max is in Springville he dives into everything West Valley and Ashford, so as he fills-in up north, I fill-in here. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been no secret the West Valley Central School district is looking into sending their athletes to another district, for a sports merger. We here at the Journal have been covering that story since the news broke late last year (yes, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s me tooting our horn), but as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent more time learning about it there is only offer one piece of advice: Do it! As a former high-school athlete, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say enough good about the importance of organized sports. My athletic career began young, stepping onto a softball diamond at the age of 7, and followed me throughout college, spanning four sports (five if you count indoor and outdoor track separately.) It gained me lifelong friends and a certain form of discipline not easily found anywhere else. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not saying you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learn discipline from being in arts programs, or acting in the school play, but there is a certain focus you get when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on your 10th mile repeat, knowing that once you finish it, practice will be over. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no secret that being physically active has numerous health benefits, including maintaining healthy bones, muscles and joints and delaying the development of high blood pressure. But educational, social and career benefits can also be factors of high school sports. According to the Government Accountability Office, organized sports are associated with improved academic achievement, including grades and standardized test scores. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Further, such activity can affect cognitive skills, attitudes and academic behavior, including enhanced concerntrationm attention and improved classroom behavior,â&#x20AC;? reads an article on aspenprojectplay.org High school athletes are also more likely to attend college and get degrees, according to the same article. Not looking to take the college route? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cool, but guess what, organized sports also add to a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character, which aids them in their career. Their self esteem, goal setting drive and leadership skills are all also subject to grow when teenagers play organized sports. While most of these points arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the end-all be-all of producing productive society members, I can personally say that when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m faced with hardships in my adult life, I think of that time we ran 21 400 meter repeats at practice, and know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to get through this, too. Declining enrollment numbers have been named the driving factor for proposing a sports merger in West Valley, with either Franklinville, Ellicottville, or Springville school systems. And while West Valley struggles with student numbers, Springville is looking at a $1.6 million deficit, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take a genius to figure out all school systems are struggling somewhere. This merger wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just benefit West Valley students, any athlete would see the positive in bringing competition to their district. So if traveling a little longer for practices, meets or games means that West Valley student athletes can better themselves and learn invaluable lessons, I say make it happen. FYI; there is a community forum happening on Jan. 20 at 6:30 p.m. at WVCS, to gain information and feedback on the proposed sports merger.

Those who have shaped their lives Back in the so called â&#x20AC;&#x153;oldenâ&#x20AC;? days of my youth, I never knew or used the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;entrepreneur.â&#x20AC;? Within the past several years the word is now becoming far more common. However, entrepreneurs were most prominent in years gone by and served as an essential backbone to our local, national and world economy. They have contributed substantially to the way of life for people everywhere. There are so many outstanding entrepreneurs one could write about. But for the purpose of this article, we will focus only on several of our locally prominent entrepreneurs past and present. As a high school student at Springville-Griffith Institute, we were fortunate to have Mr. Harold Davey as our school superintendent and principal. He was an early pioneer in the expansion of centralization for our local school district. And in 1945-46, he was also at the ground level for planning of what is currently the Springville high school building and the closing of what was then the school on Academy Street. At the same time, Mr. Davey was one of the eminent organizers of Springville Youth Incorporated. Harold Davey, what an outstanding avant â&#x20AC;&#x201C; garde leader he was! It was September 1951, and it was the first year of my teaching career. I started as a teacher and later served as a principal in the

East Aurora A Point of school sysView tem. My BY DR. ROBERT L. wife Elaine HEICHBERGER also was a teacher in that district. Elaine and I were on staff in the East Aurora Schools for 13 years and what a great and fulfilling experience that was! It was early in the 1950s when I first met and knew Herm Fisher and Irving Price, of East Aurora. In 1930, these two gentlemen, along with Helen Schelle, were the founders of a company which later was to be known as the Fisher Price Toy Company. What a treasured impact this company is now and has made on children in homes, schools and child learning centers. What a gift to children of all ages. And then too, it was in 1930, when Robert S. Vidler Sr., opened The Fair Store in East Aurora. As time went on, the Vidler family developed the store into what is known today as Vidlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5 & 10. The store is extremely well known throughout all of Western New York and well beyond. A third generation now runs the store. It is a local landmark and destination point for shoppers from near and far; Vidlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5 & 10, what a living treasure! In 1964, I joined the faculty at the State University of New York at Fredonia. During much of my

time there, I worked closely with D r. D a l l a s K. Beal. Dr. Beal served as director of education, dean for professional studies, vice president for academic affairs and president, all at SUNY Fredonia. He then went on to serve as president of the Connecticut State University system. Without question, Dr. Beal was an early advocate and programmatic leader in the development of the higher educational institution as an all purpose educational institution. Today, much of higher education is the recipient and beneficiary of President Bealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s influence, insight and leadership in higher education. Dr. Beal, what a legacy he has left. In 1975, our family moved to Gowanda. It was our pleasure to get to become familiar with two pillars of the community. Daniel Gernatt and Donald Campbell. Dan Gernatt and his devoted wife Flavia were the founders of what is now called the Gernatt Family of Companies. It is a group of 11 businesses which market products such as sand, gravel, asphalt and other items along this line. What a monumental success story and what a contribution Dan Gernatt made to broad geographical area in Western New York and far beyond. Dan Gernatt an extraordinary leader leaving

an extraordinary impact. Donald A. Campbell, along with his loving, gentle and most supportive wife Edna, owned and operated six Super Duper markets. He went on to found Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Angus Farms and helped to found, with others, Gowanda Electronics. He was a community leader in a whole host and variety of ways. There are so many who have genuinely benefited from the wise, prudent and compassionate leadership of Gowandaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Don Campbell including yours truly. There are many in this community and far beyond who will never forget the warm generosity and superb gentleman type leadership of Don Campbell. All of the above named individuals were indeed transformational leaders long before that term ever appears in the leadership lexicon. And so, what did all of these folks have in common? To name only several characteristics they had in common, we start with humbleness in character, uncompromising integrity, persevering tenacity, unfaltering competence, drive for excellence, a spirit of generosity and faith in the free enterprise system and in the American Dream. Undecidedly, each in their own way was a major contributor to our exceptional American way of life. We cannot help but pay genuine tribute to their many contributions, truly endemic of American exceptionalism at its best!

Polancarz responds to Boston snowplow issue The following is a guest column from Mark Polancarz, Erie County executive: Dear Town of Boston Resident: As you may be aware for the past 11 months, the town of Boston has been engaged in a dispute with Erie County concerning the terms and conditions of a certain snow plowing contract the town entered into with the county as of September 2013. Under that contract, the town was required to plow certain county-owned roads located in the town, and the county paid the town for the provision of that service. The county has entered into a

similar contract with the majority of other towns in our county, though only Boston has ever had any dispute with the county. Over the past three months, there have been reports concerning the contract and the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unilateral decision in October 2014 to cancel the contract with two years remaining on it. Town officials have made statements to your board, residents and media, a number of which were not accurate or were misleading. The county was not given an opportunity to comment and to provide our version of events. This

letter is intended to provide the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side of the events that led up to the town boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfortunate and short-sighted early termination of the contract. In January 2014, pursuant to the contract, the county requested that town crews push back snow on two country roads plowed by the town â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Omphalius Road and Lower East Hill Road. Despite repeated county requests, the town did not act and failed to push back snow on multiple occasions, as required by the contract. Accordingly, in the interest of public safety, the county had no choice but to

deploy county crews to address this situation, at county expense. The town failed to perform services as agreed to in the contract and, consequently, the county did not pay for the town for those services. As a result of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s failure to perform the services pursuant to the contract it entered into earlier that season, the county deducted from the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2014 snow plowing payment $4,898.24, the cost to the county for using county crews to conduct

The town of Boston’s annual reorganizational meeting did not end without mention of the ongoing dispute between the town and Erie County. “I know it’s been a hot topic in our town, about the plowing,” said Supervisor Martin Ballowe at the close of the town board meeting on Jan. 7. The town is still facing the effects of the county’s decision last year to not pay the town $4,900, that the town believes it is contractually owed. That contract has since been cancelled, resulting in putting the plowing of all county roads within the town on the county. Councilman Jay Boardway presented a letter that had been sent out by County

loncarz to “justify spending, on my guess, about $3,000 when he couldn’t pay us our $4,900.” He then said Poloncarz is “not a leader,” and hopes next election, “people will show him the door.” Ballowe reported that he had a meeting with Poloncarz on Jan. 9 and intended to settle some of the issues the municipalities were having. “We have, beside the citizens calling, we’ve had a lot of problems with school buses getting up roads, getting stuck, sliding off roads,” Ballowe said. “Hopefully it goes well.” A full copy of the letter sent to Boston residents can be found on page A4 The next meeting of the Boston town board is scheduled for Jan. 21, at the Boston town hall, located at 8500 Boston State Road, at 7:30 p.m.

Executive Mark Polancarz, in response to the November storm. Boardway stated that the letter was sent first class “to my understanding,” to most of the town’s taxpayers, which he said would have cost about $3,000. “This is an abomination,” the councilman continued. “This is an absolute waste of taxpayers’ dollars, and this is in response, apparently, to the November storm, when Supervisor Ballowe was on for 20 hours a day and in town here opening up gas pumps for fire companies and state police and thruway trucks that had to come in here from other parts of the state that had to bail out the county, who couldn’t clear their roads. [Polancarz] was in front of a camera most of the time . . . in front of a big dump truck.” According to Boardway, it was “obnoxious” for Po-

Poloncarz calls reports inaccurate Contract from page A4 the work. The county corresponded with the town between January 2014 and June 2014 in an effort to resolve the situation. In addition, representatives of my administration met at various times with the town supervisor, the town highway superintendent and town attorney in the summer of 2014 and the fall of 2014 and exchanged multiple messages all year in an effort to explain our position and resolve the town’s concerns. The county made repeated efforts to work with town officials, including a final meeting held in late October at our request. How-

ever, at no time did the town supervisor call to discuss or request a meeting. Unfortunately, a majority of the members of he town board voted to terminate the snow plowing contract on Oct. 15, 2014. Since then, certain officials have made repeated factually inaccurate statements to the public, other town officials and media outlets on the circumstances related to the contract’s termination. Please know the county fully intended to continue the contract for the 2014-2015 winter season and beyond. The only reason there is no contract between the town and county is be-

cause the town terminated the contract, a decision I believe was not made in the best interests of residents. Immediately following the town’s termination of the contract, and in the interest of ensuring the public’s safety, the county rearranged our plow routes and amended then-existing contracts with three other neighboring towns to help plow county roads in Boston. As a result, those are now contractually obligated to the county for the remainder of this winter to maintain these roads. Should anyone have any questions on the matter, contact my office at 858-8500.

Feldman earns purple belt, red tab

Imaginary tropical travel keeps winter blues away

By Peter Soscia

JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Springville native Nate Feldman has earned his purple belt in Pancrase mixed martial arts, after testing in North Carolina. The 31-year-old’s belt also boasts a red tab, which signifies his certification as instructor. Feldman, who trains at Kempo Karate Center, traveled south to test with Master James Wright, before earning his belt. “I go down to North Carolina about five or six times a year to train with Master Wright, he’s a nine-time black belt in pretty much every style of martial arts you can think of,” said Feldman. “[Wright] has a phenomenal facility there. A full cage, a fully matted area for grappling and a fully matted area for karate.” According to Feldman, the purple belt is the third in the five-belt ranking system for Pancrase, which represents a student’s movement into the more advanced practice of Pancrase, a complete fighting system utilizing boxing, kick boxing, judo, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, wrestling and submission grappling. Feldman began wrestling when he was 8, continuing the practice until 19, five years ago he began practicing martial arts when he began working with Steve Townsend, owner of Kempo Karate. “Master Townsend is my instructor for karate and also one of my best friends. Everyone who comes in to train with him falls in love with him immediately. He’s great at finding that balance between hard work and having fun at the same time,” said Feldman. After working with

It was hard training, all the guys were huge and a lot more experienced than myself, but it gave me a good jump start on the style,” said Feldman. “Shortly after Master Wright, who is friends with Master Townsend, came up to New York to do a seminar, I immediately decided to go down to North Carolina as often as I could to train with him.” Feldman is also an assistant instructor of Kem-

As winter settles in over the area, it’s only natural that our thoughts will wander to visions of palm trees, warm sand and sunny skies. Dreams of vacations to Aruba or some exotic beach keep us warm when the wind is howling outside and the snow is piling ever higher. Maybe some people can hop on a plane at a moment’s notice and go somewhere tropical, but I can’t. So, how can I enjoy the illusion of a sultry island getaway and stay right here in Western New York? Here are some methods I’ve conjured up in winters past, to keep the lush, imaginary palm trees swaying. Supplementing our pale, winter sun with a full spectrum light helps me pretend that my mornings are a lot sunnier than they really are.

There is nothing like one of those full-spectrum units that are used to counteract seasonal affective disorder. A few mornings spent with a Happy Light and I’m ready to break out the grass skirts and do the hula. I like to buy tropical fruit and have it on my kitchen counter. Pineapples, papayas and mangos make me think of beachfront breakfast buffets under colorful canopies while soft ocean breezes kiss me good morning. I play free Internet radio from countries south of the border, for instance, Costa Rica. My house is alive with the sounds of salsa, marimba and cumbia. I may even dance a little. Sometimes, no matter how hard I try to pretend that I am in the tropics, the persistent lake effect snow and gray skies still wear me down. It’s hard to keep a tropical paradise vibe when the snow keeps falling month after month and daylight seems to last about an hour

and a half. It’s then that I have to take it to another level. On those days when I desperately need to be in a temperate latitude, I head for the Buffalo Botanical Gardens, located at 2655 South Park Avenue. There I can spend a few hours wandering amongst the foliage, perusing the flowers, and just reveling in fresh, green, growing things. If one wants an even more exotic adventure, there is the Rainforest Falls exhibit at the Buffalo Zoo. A steamy climate and animals, too! It almost feels like Venezuela, without the huge expense of actually traveling there. So, even though our winters seem to last forever, it’s still possible to conjure up a bit of balmy vacation imagination to break up the frigid monotony. If all else fails, I’ve been known to lay on the living room floor in the one stray sunbeam that timidly pokes through my window, and announce that I’ve gone to Florida. It’s all in how you look at it.

Community Health Alliance looks to assist with healthcare issues By Nicole Hebdon

JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Healthy Community Alliance, a Gowanda-based health network, is helping individuals and families in Cattaraugus County apply for health insurance. According to the company, if individuals or families do not have health insurance this tax season, they may be subject to a fine, but Healthy Community Alliance is looking to help out.

A meeting with a Healthy Community Alliance navigator is free and may keep families or individuals from paying that fine. “Our navigators meet applicators where they are,” said Katie Kosmerl, community relations coordinator of Healthy Community Alliance. She explained that after applicators call, navigators will travel to the meeting location that is closest to the applicator. Currently, there are 24 meeting locations in Cattaraugus County, and a few in

Springville. After applicators call, a meeting can usually be set up within a week, Kosmerl said. Applicators will also have to bring specific paperwork to the meeting, including social security numbers, tax information and pay stubs. A complete list of needed documents will be provided when applicators call to make an appointment.

Colden board discusses banning hydrofracking By Nicole Hebdon

JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

The town of Colden is considering passing a law banning hydrofracking, which was one topic of discussion at the town board’s Jan. 9 meeting. The discussion began after a conversation regarding New York state’s new law, banning the practice. “I feel the board still needs to make a decision about how the town of Colden feels on hydrofracking,” said Supervisor James Depasquale. The board agreed to host a public hearing, at a date not yet determined, to gain insight into public opinion on a law banning hydrofracking in the town. Before setting a hearing date, the

environmental and planning board will be consulted to draft the law. The draft will be available for community members to read, before a March hearing. Applying for a Great Lake Funding Grant was discussed, as well. The grants haven’t been available for a few years, Councilman Gerald Pietraszek said. “We could get a grant as early as June or July,” said Pietraszek. The board discussed using the grant to build rock walls along the Cazenovia Creek, to keep debris out, if awarded. Councilman Jesse Hrycik reminded everyone that recycling laws have changed and that Colden residents will no longer be able to put electronic waste on the curb, and if they do, they may be fined. “The primary

Collins board reorganizes for 2015

suggestion is to bring them to an electronic retailer,” Hrycik said, explaining that any store that sells electronics is required to take back electronic recyclables. The board announced that the town purchased property number 8820 on State Road, for $1. Depasquale said that the property may be used to extend the Colden Military Park. “The town will maintain and operate the property as a public park,” he said. “We’ve been working on keeping the property next to the town hall to keep it as green space.” The next board meeting for the town of Colden will be Feb. 5 at 7 p.m., in the Colden town hall. Any issues to be discussed during meeting must be submitted at least 72 hours before the meeting.

By Richard Westlund JOURNALCORRESPONDENT

Collins Supervisor Dave Tessmer presented 60 resolutions for 2015, at the Jan. 5 town board meeting. The resolutions set salaries and policies controlling the activities of the town and its employees, the board unanimously approved all. The salaries reflect no increase from last year. As such, the supervisor will receive $18,000 annually, plus an additional $1,500 for overseeing the water department; the four elected town council members will receive $6,000 each, per year. The town clerk will receive $39,119.07 annually; the highway superintendent’s salary will be $52,284.97, with an additional $2,000 for overseeing the transfer station and parks department; and the town attorney will receive $11,480 per year. Appointments made were a reflection of last year, Mary Clark will again serve

Don’t panic when overwhelmed Following is a guest column by Meghan Heighway: Life can be overwhelming sometimes, can’t it? So many demands, pulling us in so many different direction, and yet, time just keeps flowing forward. Particularly when we feel buried under a perpetual to-do list and expectations from our family, job, relationships, or inner self; it can be easy to slide into a sense of panic. What do I do now? Here are three suggestions to help you answer that question for yourself: 1. Prioritize. By beginning something, we are simultaneously getting ahead. A particular issue in this area is the corresponding question: begin where? Try making a short list of your top three priorities and then spend some time reflecting. What do you see as your crucial needs in each area? What is your dream, your vision, for each priority? How can you dissemble that vision into definite steps to pursue? Do any particular visions have time constraints or certain tangible experiences that need to be obtained prior to moving forward? By explicitly laying out what you value, you can reduce your inner sense of being overwhelmed. 2. Just start. Once you’ve

prioritized your top three things, simply pick one thing to do, right now. For example, if you realize that you will not be able to move forward in your job without some kind of continued education, consider your options. What kind of degree would you need? Once you’ve decided that continuing your education is something that would make your priority of employment more enjoyable, just start. How? One way would be by going online and looking at what colleges in the area offer the degree you’re seeking, or if there is a long-distance learning option available. Start slowly compiling information about your desired area, just doing a bit at a time so it doesn’t become overwhelming. Even one small step is further than merely standing still. Doing even one small thing can work wonders for reducing your sense of feeling overwhelmed. 3. Have compassion. As you consider how to reduce your feeling of being overwhelmed, remember to show compassion to yourself. You don’t need to have everything figured out, right at this moment. You don’t need to do everything perfectly. You don’t need to complete everything on your to-do list

as deputy town supervisor, Joanne Kibler is the deputy clerk and Peter Waterman will serve as deputy highway superintendent. The town received its share of Erie County sales tax from the fourth quarter, totaling just over $200,000, Tessmer reported. The total received for 2014 was roughly $595,897, a 16 percent increase over 2013. Town Clerk Becky Jo Summers reported December transactions amounted to $4,786, with the town’s portion being $4,611.76. According to the code enforcement officer, Gene Degman, a total of 53 building permits were issued in 2014, at an estimated value of $1,921,280 in all, of which the town received $10,259 in fees. Permits issued included: seven for single family homes, eight for home additions, 11 for storage buildings and pole barns, three for non-residential demolitions, with the remainder issued for a variety of miscellaneous structures.

The board approved the hiring of Melissa Budziszewski, Ryan Mammoser and Kim Duncan for the winter recreation program, at a rate of $9 per hour. Tom McMullen, Rebecca McMullen, Christian Peglowski, Chandler Kusiowski and Tina Marrocco, will serve as returning experienced help, at a rate of $9.30 per hour. In other matters the board: – The board enacted Local Law No. 1 for 2015, entitled a local law to provide for the codification of the local laws, ordinances and certain resolutions of the town into a Municipal Code, to be designated The Code of the Town of Collins. – A permit for a kennel operated by Todd Struble, of West Becker Road, was approved. The next regular meeting of the town board will be in the Collins town hall at 7 p.m. on Tuesday Jan. 20. The Town Hall will be closed on Monday, Jan. 19, for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The next trash day will be Saturday, Jan. 31.

There are two sides to every bridge Alternate from page A1 happening with the replacement bridge, and if adding entrance and exit ramps was looked at. “No one will take the time to look at the cost of adding an exit or entrance ramp because they just want to build a bridge,” echoed member Charles Davis.

“I get Springville’s point, they will suffer,” said Pfeffer of the absence of a bridge. “But I can’t tolerate this waste of my money, of everyone’s money.” Member Beverly Hess agreed, saying that Ashford is “on the other side of this,” and deserves to know what

is happening. The board reminded the public that there will be a public forum on Jan. 20, at 6:30 p.m. at West Valley Central School, to discuss a sports merger. The next board meeting for Ashford will be Feb. 11 at 7:30 p.m.

The year’s premier summertime food festival is set for July 11 and 12, and will take place along Delaware Avenue and Niagara Square in downtown Buffalo. “I encourage all [Western New York] restaurants, food trucks and wineries to consider applying to be a part of this great event in 2015,” said Laura Jacobs, chair of 2015 Taste of

Buffalo presented by Tops. “Last year the Taste welcomed guests from all over the United States. It’s a great opportunity for our local restaurants and wineries to receive broad exposure both in their local communities and beyond.” To be eligible, restaurants and wineries must be public establishments whose primary commercial function is to serve food or wine on a retail basis and be open year round in Western New York. Food truck applicants must adhere to the same menu item criteria as brick and mortar restaurants. Applica-

tions and additional criteria to be eligible for participation can be found at www. tasteofbuffalo.com under the “restaurants and wineries” tab. The Taste of Buffalo, presented by Tops is the nation’s largest two-day food festival, attracting more than 450,000 people to downtown Buffalo. The Taste is a not-forprofit organization with more than 1,000 volunteers helping to put on the annual event. More than $277,000 has been raised at the festival for local charities in addition to awarding five

Mills, Lorigo reappointed The Erie County Legislature held its annual reorganizational meeting on Thursday, Jan. 8, and elected Legislator John Mills to his second term as chairman. He was appointed unanimously, 11-0, to the one-year term. “I am honored to have the support of my colleagues to continue serving as chairman. We had a lot of success in 2014 during my first year in the position and I look forward to a productive new year. The Legislature has a lot of work to do to capitalize on the 2015 tax decrease we delivered and to continue the trend of delivering relief for taxpayers,” said Mills. Mills was first elected to the Legislature in 2005 and served seven years as minority leader. In November 2013, the first Republicanaligned majority was elected to lead the Legislature in 37 years, making Mills the first Republican to hold the seat in nearly four decades. Also during the meeting,

the majority caucus re-elected Legislator Joseph Lorigo to the position of majority leader. First elected to the Legislature in 2011, Lorigo was the first Conservative Party member to hold the position when he was appointed by the Republicanaligned majority caucus in 2014. “In our first year in the majority, our caucus made significant changes to how the Legislature operates, held departments and commissioners accountable, implemented internal reform and improved overall efficiency. As a result, the administration has also had to adjust how it operates, knowing the Legislature will not simply rubber-stamp items like it did during the first two years of the county executive’s term. I am proud of the improvement Erie County has achieved under our leadership. However, our job continues and we pledge to remain diligent in dealing every matter that comes before this body,” said Lorigo.

Murphy guides Griffin grapplers at tourney Springville senior takes first at Franklinville

Wildcats offense held at bay in loss to Eagles By Dave DeLuca SPORTS REPORTER

West Valley boys basketball has been the team showing off the high-scoring offense this season, however it was rival Ellicottville that flexed its muscles offensively to defeat the Wildcats, 65-47, on Jan. 13. Ellicottville had three scorers in double figures and proved to be too much on offense for West Valley in the game. West Valley, coming off a 34-point win over North Collins, didn’t shoot the way they normally do, shooting 4 of 19 from behind the 3-point line and just couldn’t keep up, mentioned Bryan Clayback. “That’s not our game, that’s not what we usually shoot,” Clayback said. “If we were shooting our usual, the game would have been a lot closer and it could have been a different ending...In the second quarter we just got away from running our plays. “We were just pushing it up, half hazardly going to that basket and they were causing turnovers. When we were running plays, and dishing out to our 3-point shooters, we weren’t making them.” Ellicottville’s Austin Grinols scored 15 points and Griffin Chudy scored 13, but it was freshman Elliot Bowen that was the thorn in West Valley’s side. The 6-foot-4 Bowen had 14 points and 14 rebounds and consistently caused problems for West Valley in the paint. Bowen created second chance opportunities on the offensive glass and altered shots defensively, too.

day and didn’t allow his opponents to even get into the second round. Murphy pinned Letchworth’s Teddy Garmin (1:09), East Aurora/Holland’s Ethan Hall (1:53), Letchworth’s Ken Legg (1:04) and eventually, Olean’s Grant Fox (1:08) in the championship match. Murphy’s strong, undefeated tournament raised his overall record this season to 13-5. Murphy was one of 11 Springville wrestlers to place at Franklinville and the Griffs took fourth overall out of 7 teams. The tournament was planning on hosting 11 teams but weather forced four schools in the Northtowns to drop out. “It was a huge, fantastic turnout for our guys,” Feltz

said. “I was hoping we could have took home a trophy home and get third place, but it just wasn’t meant to be. We lost four teams because of the snow and that actually hurt us a little bit. If those teams were there, we would have had a better chance.” Springville junior Josh Ball took second place at 285 with his only loss coming to Olean’s Shawn Williams. Williams has a 20-5 record this season and took third in last year’s Class B meet. Junior Jake Smith also took second at 132, falling to a tough opponent in Olean’s Jordan Kayes. Kayes is 22-2 this season and riding a 14-match winning streak.

Gainey encouraged by Lady Griffs’ complete-game performance against division foe Amherst By Dave DeLuca SPORTS REPORTER

It may not show up in the win column, but as far as losses go, Springville girls basketball coach Bob Gainey will take it. The Lady Griffs fell to Amherst, 4538, on Jan. 12, but Gainey was encouraged with the way Springville played. “We probably played our most complete game of the year,” Gainey said. “I was really impressed the way we came out. It was the first time all year we handled the press well. We didn’t really turn it over.”

Springville had just six turnovers in the game and welcomed senior standout Heaven Rollek back into the lineup after a three-game absence. Rollek helped Springville break Amherst’s 1-2-2, three-quarter-court zone defense and added a much needed scoring option to the Griffs’ offense. “Our press breaker was outstanding,” Gainey said. “We were able to break it down the sidelines, and with Heaven back, it seemed like the ball was moving a lot better from side-to-side. “We had multiply possessions where we got the look we wanted, sometimes it fell, sometimes it didn’t. We just looked so much more comfortable offensively.” Amherst’s Claire Wanzer was the difference in the game as she scored eight of her game-high 24 points in

the fourth quarter. Wanzer, just a sophomore, is averaging 19 point-per-game this season. “Wanzer can really do it all,” Gainey said. “Brittney Luther played great man defense on her, but she crossed over, went behind her back and literally, she’d attack, elevate two feet away from the lane and finish these out of control floaters. “I’d want her to take those shots, and she she made every one of them. She made some really, really tough shots.” Gainey added that Springville struggled to rebound out of its zone defense and ended up giving Amherst too many second chance points.

Springville boys, girls bowlers drop 4-3 decisions to Pioneer Panthers By Dave DeLuca SPORTS REPORTER

The Springville girls and boys bowling teams both fell to rival Pioneer by 4-3 decisions on Jan. 8. It was a huge match for girls team with a division title on the line. Springville lost to Pioneer early in the season and needed a win to force a two-way atop ECIC Small School South. “Pioneer’s depth got us again,” Springville coach Kevin Farner said. “It was the same thing as the first time we played them. Our ‘A’ team was a little bit better than theirs, but they just overcame it on the ‘B’ team. “Pioneer has the advantage that I’ve had in years past, they just have more depth than anyone else in the division.” Pioneer’s “B” team won two of three games and Pioneer’s “A” team beat Springville once, using a huge, 770 game, an average of 192 per girl, which narrowly beat Springville’s 753 game. The big game, along with the solid outing from Pioneer’s “B” team helped the Panthers win the point for total pins and broke the 3-3 tie. “770 is really good shooting in our girls division,” Farner said. “That’s over a 190 per girl, which is outstanding. Pioneer came up big in that game. We were able to win one game on

Junior Brittany Sullivan had a 205 game and 529 series.

With the win, Pioneer will likely take the division title. Last season Pioneer shared the division crown with Springville. “What impresses me so much about Pioneer is how good they are at shooting spares,” Farner said. “Spares are the

little thing in bowling. In almost every sport you have those little things that make a big difference. “In basketball, it’s free throws. In baseball, it’s field ground balls. Being able to pick up routine spares is big in bowling. Pioneer just doesn’t make many mistakes in that area. We made a few mistakes here and there, just too many to beat a team that steady. On the boys side, Pioneer used a strong “A” team to take down Springville. Despite trailing 3-1 after the second game, Pioneer swept the Griffs in the final game and won convincingly enough to win total pins. “Pioneer just put together a big last game,” Farner said. “They had a boy on their “B” team that shot a 243. They’re kind of a reverse situation than our girls. Their ‘A’ is usually stronger, but our ‘B’ team is usually able to beat them. But

they were able to beat us on both.” Sophomore Zack Slippy shot 245 game and a 639 series, both are season highs for Springville this season. Freshman Nick Abdo also had nice match, rolling a 202 game. ••• Both teams hosted Iroquois on Jan. 12 with the girls coming away with a 7-0 win and the boys falling to first place Iroquois, 7-0. Gamel led the girls once again with a 201 game and a 570 series. Junior Emily Zebrowski had a 516 series and Elizabeth Chase had 184 game and a 479 series. The boys were led by Slippy once again who rolled a 224 game and a 561 series. Seventh grader Gage Marvin also had a strong performance, rolling a personal best 213 game. Springville will have three straight home matches, starting with Lackawanna on Jan. 22.

Modified Lady Griffins off to 4-1 start to season The Springville girls modified basketball team is on a roll this season. The team is 4-1, with its only loss to coming Pioneer. Last week, the girls faced East Aurora on the road, and knowing that EAhas a great program, the Griffins knew they had to step up their scoring and play strong defense. The team held its own and ended up winning, 22-14. Springville then opened 2015 by playing Maryvale at home

to a 26-22 victory. Emma Hawkes had 10 points and pulled down rebound after rebound against EA, and chipped in 12 points against Maryvale. Hawkes is one of the best post players head coach Karen Reynolds has coached at the modified level. “She has height, speed, hands, and footwork,” Reynolds said in an email. Six-foot tall Joselyn Hayes, who is new to the team, has been developing how to handle herself under the boards, and she is showing progress. Hayes is rebounding strongly and is able to find the glass and put the ball right back up. And now she’s

developing a scoring touch, too. Against EA, Hayes had six points, and against Maryvale, she had four. “Hawkes and Hayes under the boards are a force against any of our teams we play,” Reynolds said. Grace Zawawa, the team’s point guard, has been developing how to slow and control her offensive game down so the team can run the play and look for better scoring opportunities. Zawawa, though, is very quick and is a go-getter. She penetrates in the lane and finds ways to take a shot which is why she trails right behind Hawkes in scoring. Zawawa had six points

against EA and eight against Maryvale. Another great connection the team has on the court is on the perimeter with Zawawa and her twin sister, Kelsey. Kelsey is new to the sport of basketball, but she is an athlete and is picking it up quickly, Reynolds noted. “Kelsey can read the ball and make steals on defense.,” she said. “Kelsey and Grace can interchange each other on the court. Putting the ball in Kelsey’s hands shakes the defense up and is a great resource for us.” Allie Emmick is another starter for the team. Her height gives her opportunities to play

post, but her speed, agility, and knowledge also make her a viable wing player for the team. Emmick puts the ball in the hoop when given the opportunity and is a strong rebounder. She started the Griffs off quickly in the game against Maryvale, scoring the first basket, and set the tone for the team. Seventh graders Jessica Engel and Ivette Lewandowski are given starting opportunity because of their athleticism and basketball ability. Engel is a powerhouse rebounder and is an aggressive player. Lewandowski can handle the ball and is developing guard skills for next season. Both Lewandowski and

Engel have made baskets for the team this season. “It is exciting to see these ladies performing this way for not only this year’s team, but also for the outlook of our squad next year,” Reynolds said. The girls next game is at 6 p.m. Thursday at home against Pioneer. “We hope to learn from our mistakes from the first time around and defensively stop Pioneer from scoring,” Reynolds noted. “The Panthers are a strong team, but SGI can pull ahead if they work together as a team on both ends of the court.”

Baker, Snyder, Szudzik earn third place finishes in tourney Wrestling from page B1 Springville senior Bryant Boundy took second place, too. The finish was Boundy’s best at a tournament in his career. The performance at Franklinville is one that Boundy deserves every bit of, Feltz noted. “He’s a kid that just

keeps working all the time,” Feltz said. “This is a high placement. It was his first finals. He had a really tough wrestler in the finals, Ryan Wheeler, who is a sectional wrestler. Bryant had a really nice tournament, I’m really proud of him.”

Springville had three wrestlers take third place in sophomore Ian Baker (170), Noah Snyder (195), and junior Bryce Szudzik (145). Junior Jerry Weeks took fourth, while freshman Benn Smith, junior Greg Benstead and Daryle Lynch took sixth place.

Springville travels to Clarence for the ECIC Championships on Jan. 16 and 17. From there, Springville will return to its dual match schedule with a match against Lackawanna on Jan. 21. at 6 p.m., which will also be the Griffs’ “Alumni

Night.” All wrestlers that have previously competed in Springville’s wrestling program are invited to attend the match. Feltz asks for all alumni to sign in when they arrive and stick around for refreshments following the match.

“We use to have that all the time,” Feltz said of the Alumni Night. “I just brought it back along with the tournament this year Just trying to drum up some people from the past that were involved with Springville wrestling and kind of honor them.”

He really hurt us on the inside.” The game was tied at 12-12 at the end of the first quarter, before Ellicottville was able to take a 31-20 lead heading into halftime. Ellicottville pressed the Wildcats in the full court for a majority of the game and forced West Valley to commit 20 turnovers. “We were playing solid ‘D and taking care of the ball,” Clayback said, “then the second quarter they kept pressing us. They pressed the entire game and forced a lot of turnovers.

That created lots of points for them.” Emil Erlandson was West Valley’s bright spot in the loss. Erlandson led all scorers with 22 points, his second straight game with 22 points. Junior Justin Summers had 11 and senior guard Jared Ras had 8. West Valley will look to avenge the loss in a rematch between the two schools on Feb. 5. “It’s very frustrating,” Clayback said. “I know we can play them harder and better. We’re going to be all out for them next time.” West Valley hosted Franklinville on Jan. 16 and will travel to Pine Valley on Jan. 23.

Springville boys stifled by strong Central team

By Dave DeLuca SPORTS REPORTER

It’s no surprise that the Cheektowaga boys basketball team is being talked about as a Section VI title contender. The Warriors returned four starters from last season’s sectional title team and Springville got of taste of just how dynamic Cheektowaga is this season, falling 72-35 to the host Warriors on Jan. 12 Cheektowaga’s Zak Ciezki and Dominic Welch combined to score 35 points to lead the Warriors. The duo made All-WNY teams last season and returned this season as two of the best players in the area.

“Those two players are an amazing compliment to each other,” Springville coach Frank Noeson said. “Ciezki is a very talented guard who really sees the floor well and has some strong basketball IQ. Welch is just an amazing athlete. His quickness, along with his size and athleticism are difficult to shut down.” Helped by 10 first-half points by Kyle Warner, Springville trailed, 31-22, at halftime. Noeson saw some things from his team that he liked in the first half. “We played sound defensively in the first half,” Springville coach Frank Noeson said. “We rebounded well and kept them more on the outside. Offensively we were active and scrappy.” As the second half began, Cheektowaga took over. The Warriors outscored Springville, 30-2 in the third quarter and 41-13 in the second half. Cheektowaga’s depth played

a key role in helping them pull away, Noeson noted. “Having such a short bench is something that we continue to struggle with,” Noeson said. “They started knocking down shots and getting out and running a bit in transition. We weren’t able to keep up anywhere it seemed. “When a team like that starts getting excited, they become that much better. In the first half I think we kind of bored them a little bit, which obviously plays more to our advantage.” Warner led Springville with 17 points. The junior guard continues to be Springville’s catalyst on offense and defense. Despite being the focus of other teams, Warner has been a dangerous weapon for Springville this season. Warner is averaging 17.6 points-per-game this season, which ranks second ECIC III. “What has really set Kyle apart is that he is doing it

all,” Noeson said. “He gets to the basket and often times free throw line, and also is shooting well from outside. His defense is leading to his offense a lot of times, too.” Of late, Warner has had to shoulder the load offensively for Springville. Against Cheektowaga, he was Springville’s lone player to score more than five points. Senior Pat Emmick had five and sophomore John Domes had four. “Other guys just need to come out of their shells or comfort zones,” Noeson said. “They have the ability, but are hesitant.” Springville hosted Amherst on Jan. 16 and will travel to East Aurora on Jan. 20. ‘It doesn’t matter where we play,” Noeson said, “we have to be better in almost every aspect of the game. Guys need so start making plays. We can’t rely on one guy to do all the scoring.”

Springville’s Sara Kwiatkowski had eight points in the Lady Griffs’ loss to Amherst.

Springville led by two entering the fourth quarter, but Amherst was able to tie it at 38-38 with 1:38 remaining in the game. Amherst took control from there, scoring the game’s final seven points. “We were right there, we had our chances,” Gainey said. After struggling to find balanced scoring of late, Rollek and Luther each scored nine points, while Julia Krzemien and Sara Kwiatkowski each had eight. Luther has developed into a dependable scoring option for Springville, having scored at least seven points in six-straight games and is averaging 10 ppg over her

last four contests. Along with her offensive talent, Luther leads the team with 23 steals. “She brings intensity to both ends of the floor,” Gainey said of Luther. “She’s really been scoring the ball well for us, consistently. She scores between eight to 12 points a night for us, which is what we need, but she hasn’t let up defensively at all. “To have a kid play at that level, on both ends of the floor, is such a great asset for us.” Springville will hosted East Aurora on Jan. 15, before hosting Maryvale in another league game on Jan. 20.

PRO FOOTBALL CORNER

FROM the SIDELINES Ryan-coached Bills will ‘be the bullies,’ new skipper says By Tom Gallagher SPORTS EDITOR

Just before the conclusion of Wednesday’s press conference introducing Rex Ryan as the newest head coach of the Buffalo Bills, it was brought to Ryan’s attention that the Bills, who haven’t made the playoffs in 15 seasons and are coming off just their second winning season since 2004, have been pushed around in recent years. Those days, Ryan said, are over. Ryan, the former Jets skipper, put an exclamation point on a press conference that he sliced and diced through with the swagger and charm that made him a media magnet in New York when he assured those listening that the Rex Ryan-coached Buffalo Bills will not be pushed around. Conversely, they’ll be the ones doing the pushing. “We’re not going to get pushed around. I can promise you that,” Ryan said in front of a glut of media at One Bills Drive. “In fact, we’re going to be the bullies. That’s who we are. We will build a bully and that’s what we can’t wait to get started doing.” Ryan became the 18th head coach in Bills history when he reportedly signed a five-year deal last week. He’ll replace Doug Marrone, who guided the team to a 9-7 record this year before resigning shortly after the Bills’ season ended. In taking over, Ryan, a descendant of the Brian Billick coaching tree who is heralded for his defensive mind, has parted ways with former defensive

coordinator Jim Schwartz. He’s replaced him with Dennis Thurman, who was the Jets’ defensive coordinator the past two seasons. Additionally, Ryan has hired former San Francisco coordinator Greg Roman, a coach notorious for his hard-nosed, ground-andpound style on offense, to join he and Thurman on staff and lead the offense moving forward. In his opening statement to the media, Bills owner Terry Pegula noted that the hiring of Ryan — and the subsequent additions of Thurman and Roman —represent an organization-wide movement to make the Bills “a nightmare” to play against. “Basically, we decided that we want the Buffalo Bills to be a nightmare to play against,” Pegula said, adding that the team decided to go with a veteran coach vs. an up-and-coming mind due to where the team is right now. “ R e x Ry a n - c o a c h e d teams have two characteristics: they’re always great defensively, and they always work hard. “That’s our objective. With the staff that Rex is building, and with his knowledge of the game, we’re going to be a tough team defensively and ‘a nightmare’ to play against.” The Bills are going to be held to high standards, too, apparently. When discussing Buffalo’s defense, which ranked fourth in the NFL this past season, Ryan said it “is probably a little disappointing,” that the unit ranked there. “That’s not where my expectations are,” said Ryan, whose defenses in New York ranked in the top eight five of the six seasons he

Orton gave the Bills some productivity at the position but proved to be wildly inconsistent — and immobile — throughout the year. He retired after the Bills’ last game. Ryan noted that he “isn’t concerned at all” that the quarterback situation in Buffalo is similar to what he had in New York and said that a major first step in correcting the woes the Bills faced offensively was taken when they brought Roman on board. “I’ve never seen a guy get criticized more than Greg Roman for going to three championship games,” Ryan said, referencing heat Roman took despite leading the 49ers’ offense to a Super Bowl appearance and two NFC title games. “He’s an outstanding coach.” While Ryan’s Jets didn’t fare well during the back two-thirds of his six-year tenure in New York — the team missed the playoffs each of the past four years, had two 8-8 records and a pair of losing seasons — Ryan rejected the idea that he’s nothing more than a mediocre coach. “The record may say that [I’m a mediocre coach], especially this year,” Ryan said. “But I’m not a mediocre coach and anybody that thinks so, I would PHOTO COURTESY OF THE BUFFALO BILLS challenge them with that.” He is so confident in his The Bills formally introduced Rex Ryan as the 18th head coach in team his- coaching abilities, in fact, that Ryan — who has intory during a press conference on Wednesday, Jan. 14. famously guaranteed Jets Super Bowl victories in the past — made another was there and never lower are in a period of evaluation The team’s 2013 first guarantee during the press than 11th . “I know we’ll right now.

Sabres set to Go Bald for Bucks for second straight year By Dave Ricci

SPORTS REPORTER

Buffalo Sabres center Cody Hodgson is happily planning on skipping his next hair cut because Cody knows the next time he sits in the barber’s chair, it will be for a worthy cause. Hodgson, and some of his fellow Sabres, will be doing their part to raise money for the fight against cancer when they take part in the second annual Buffalo Sabres Goin’ Bald for Bucks event that will

take place Feb. 14 at the First Niagara Center. Goin’ Bald for Bucks raises money for the Roswell Park Cancer Institute and its ongoing war against the deadly disease. “I don’t know if I’ll grow it out as long again this year,” Hodgson joked after the team’s Jan. 12 practice. “I was actually thinking about getting it cut today and starting from there.” Hodgson, who was sporting a bushy mane for last year’s Sabres Bald for Bucks, returns to the chair and will

be joined by teammates Chris Stewart and Mike Weber, as well as former Sabres goalie Martin Biron. Biron is now one of the main instructors for the Academy of Hockey program that is housed inside the HarborCenter. “It’s nearly impossible to find someone who hasn’t been impacted by [cancer],” Weber said. “The Goin’ Bald for Bucks program is a fun way for us to get involved and it serves as a visual reminder for people battling cancer that we are in their corner.” Weber, Hodgson, Stewart

and Biron will be fund raising throughout the coming weeks with everything culminating in a group shave of the four that will take place at the First Niagara Center in front of fans and cancer patients. “It’s a terrible disease that we want to see eliminated and we want to do whatever we can,” Hodgson said. “I know it’s only a little thing, shaving your hair off. But if it raises awareness, and last year we raised a lot of money. So hopefully we can do it again this year and be able to raise the funds that

help get rid of this disease.” While every member of the Sabres is always at the ready to do whatever they can to help out in the community, when the topic involves helping sick kids, they become even more driven. Hodgson is one of the more affable players on the team, but the mere thought of a child in pain replaces his good-natured smile with a serious, driven expression to make a difference. “It’s tough to talk about,” Hodgson said when asked

about his interaction with cancer patients. “It’s heartbreaking, to tell you the truth. But you just do what you can do. This is our way as a team to try and help give back and I encourage other people to do it, too. They can set up their own fundraisers to help donate towards the cause. Also, if they want to shave their heads, it’ll help everybody. Because people are going to ask, ‘why’d you shave your head?’ It’s a great way to help generate awareness for raising money.”

College football title and UB are a pipedream — for now By Mike Haim COLUMNIST

I’m not sure if it was a moment of sheer hopefulness or just delusional thinking from a battle with a flu bug this past weekend, but there was a short period of time last Monday night when I actually pondered what it would be like if the University at Buffalo actually made the College Football Championship game.

The thought didn’t last long, mind you. The reality is that smaller conferences, like the Mid-American in which UB competes, aren’t even in the mix when it comes to bigtime bowl games, much less this newfangled (but long overdue) invention to have one game decide the nominal national champion (remember, the title is not officially sanctioned by the NCAA). Even if UB’s “New York Initiative” eventually results in the football program be-

coming big enough to move up to a bigger conference, the question remains whether UB could migrate to one of the “Power Five” leagues that have a markedly better chance at getting their teams into the semi-final bowl games which feed into the title game. NCAA football isn’t like basketball, where a team can ride a hot streak during March Madness and seemingly magically make the Final Four. There is no football equivalent to giant-beating

hoops underdogs like Virginia Commonwealth, Wichita State, or Florida Gulf Coast. That said, it’s awfully hard to imagine the Bulls ever moving into one of the power conferences: the Atlantic Coast (ACC), Big Ten, Big 12, Pacific-12, and Southeastern (SEC). The one remote possibility might lie with the ACC, which in recent years has added Pitt, Syracuse, Louisville, and Notre Dame to its ranks. The current geography of the conference wouldn’t

necessarily eliminate Buffalo, but I would anticipate it taking many years for UB to assemble the necessary infrastructure, fanbase and financial support to make the move feasible. Even if the Bulls were to garner those prerequisites, there’s also a more basic aspect to worry about: establishing some sort of competitiveness against long-established programs. You can be optimistic by the glimpses seen in recent

seasons: playing closely for portions of road games against Pitt, Georgia, and Ohio State, for example. But those are nothing but glimpses; being close for a half against a ranked opponent is simply not good enough if your eventual goal is something bigger than the Idaho Famous Potato Bowl. Don’t get me wrong – UB has done a fantastic job of making progress with their football program over the past 20 years.

Around Town

Currently being featured at the Joylan Theatre is “Paddington.” A young Peruvian bear, with a passion for all things British, travels to London in search of a home. Finding himself lost and alone at Paddington Station, he begins to realize that city life is not all he had imagined - until he meets the kindly Brown family, who read the label around his neck (‘Please look after this bear. Thank you.’) and offer him a temporary haven. It

With single-digit morning mercury numbers, a few logs in the family room wood stove helps to take the chill out. The winter atmosphere is cozy, especially when those orange sunbeams wiggle their way in through the snowy windows, sharing some of the warm southern morning sky in a colorful way. The dry winter heat seems just right to get creaky bones working, too, and for those brave enough to walk outdoors for the morning paper, there is joy in guessing who will move ahead with the playoff football forecast. The smell of fresh java percolating in the kitchen helps make our winter mornings even more perfect, especially when my friends, the wimpy chicken dogs, keep jingling the phone and sharing their plans for their annual Florida vacation. Yep, our winter mornings in Western New York are (nearly) perfect! So in rebuttal, what is a good winter sportsman from the deep snow of Western New York supposed to do? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy, you know! A quick hop over to the computer keyboard can help a lot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for a while. It only takes a short time to read about monster Snook feeding near the fishing piers in Tampa Bay, deep water Drum whacking baited bottom rigs off the 12-mile drop-off near Cape Coral, the Yellowfin are on a hot bite off Key Largo, and you can accomplish all that in just 10 minutes! Why did I do it!? My coffee got cold, the page marker in the paperback I was reading fell out and my better half just yelled over that I should go out and shovel the driveway and walkway before someone slips, falls and sues us for whatever little we were saving for that next winter getaway! Those words were sheer music to my frostbitten ears. They remind me that I love being exposed to the time of being recently retired from a full time day job! I wear a full face mask at this time of year to stay warm, there is a permanent smile and happy face painted on the front of the cap â&#x20AC;&#x201C; mostly because it is really cold out there and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hiding my tightened jawbone and slightly closed eyelids from the 40 mile per hour wind, lately. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not so bad! Pinch me, I look in the mirror when I return to the house and there

TOM MARKS

Lake Erie â&#x20AC;&#x153;ice volcanoesâ&#x20AC;? forecast that the usual colorful army of ice anglers will soon be walking on water off Sturgeon Point.

I am! Once again, a happy camper! Sharing all this â&#x20AC;&#x153;yahooâ&#x20AC;? warmth with you really does bring a smile my way, because you know something, life in WNY is sort of special for lots of other reasons, too. Winter is part of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good plan for all of us, as it gives us a few moments to rest our busy internal body engines a bit. Think about it, down south, there is no break! They cut grass and paint shutters all year long! Bummer. They are either planting orange trees or picking oranges. How exciting can it get? While theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at it, they need to watch every step on the trail and in the grass for 10-foot long eastern diamondback rattlesnakes, coral snakes, copperheads, cottonmouths, wild boars and 14-foot long alligators. All these have poison or big teeth to offer, yikes! So many reasons why we love WNY! While we have time to read a book and savor that hot cup of coffee, they are swatting hungry no-see-ems that are in prime feeding habitat looking for fresh human skin along the beach. Hey, none of us will miss that! Even pricey anti-bug skin sauce formulas seem ineffective on those pesky critters. The only fix is usually long sleeves, a face mask, gloves, long pants with rubber bands around at your shoes and a hat tight to the rim of your noggin. And you thought Florida was fun! We are already garbed up pretty much the same up here, but there are no biting bugs chasing us! Look, see what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re losing by staying home? Nothinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;! Lucky us! Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my logic for today and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m telling myself

this story twice so I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget. I did notice it was 88 degrees near Miami the other day. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll pass. Besides, it is high time to dig out the paper towels, cleaner and steel wool and get that two-day tackle box cleanup started. After that, all the firearms gotta come out of the gun cabinet, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re next for the clean and lube. A check of the hunting and snowshoveling boots for leaks is also on the immediate list of winter activities for today. The next question is where did the day go? There is so little time in 24 hours! Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more. We have to get our ice fishing tackle ready â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in case we grow a case of being brave, the Lake Erie â&#x20AC;&#x153;ice volcanoesâ&#x20AC;? have just formed off Sturgeon Point over this past weekend. We also gotta check the winter weekend 3D archery calendar and make some notes on the wide number of outdoor shows just around the corner. There are some good shows coming up, especially the Niagara Falls Outdoor Show set for Jan. 23-25. Arkansas Deer Hunt Season Just in case you are upset that New York State Department of Environmental Conservation still has no plans for a late New York State deer season that extends into January, you might like to know you can travel south to hunt deer in Arkansas for seven more weeks. For the third straight season, deer checked by Arkansas hunters so far have pushed past 200,000. While seven more weeks of archery hunting remain, a new record may be set, as the high mark was set in the 2012-13 season with

213,487 deer logged. A nonresident all-game hunting license for three days is $100. For more, see www.arkansasmatters.com. List of NYS Wildlife Species The NYSDEC revised the list of Species of Greatest Conservation Need, which includes species that are at risk in New York. The DEC is working to identify and eliminate threats such as habitat loss and fragmentation, pollution and invasive species, to maintain healthy and balanced ecosystems, which are critical in maintaining our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fish and wildlife resources. Species experts developed an assessment that includes data for 594 species including abundance, distribution, rarity, trends, threats and relative importance of the New York population to the species across its distribution. The New York Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit at Cornell University developed a model to analyze the data. Revising the SGCN list is the first step in updating New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s State Wildlife Action Plan. Stay tuned, it will be good to know how the coyote fares out in this analysis, as it seems the deer population is losing numbers to something other than hunters.

Band America Set To Play Seneca Allegany Casino

By Melanie Hulick

January 23, 2015 will find the perennial classic-rock favorite filling the Seneca Allegany Events Center in Salamanca with their melodic sound that became a mainstay of pop rock music of the 1970’s. Meeting in London in a high school for kids whose families were in the military, Dewey Bunnell, Gerry Beckley and former band mate Dan Peek took their love of music and formed the band America in the late 1960’s. Their debut single, “A Horse With No Name”, quickly ascended the Billboard music chart to the number one position. Following with songs like “Ventura Highway”, “Tin Man”, “I Need You”, “Lonely People”, “Don’t Cross The River” and “Sister Golden Hair” they proved their musical fusions of pop-rock and folk-jazz, combined with their image based lyrics, would be a force that would go on to be played on classic-rock and adult contemporary radio today. I had the pleasure to catch up with Dewey Bunnell by phone and we talked about 2015 marking their 45th year in the business, a future project, how the band got its name, and what keeps him and Gerry Beckley on their game four and a half decades later.

A Conversation with Dewey Bunnell of Classic Rock Group America HULICK: Next year marks your 45th year in the music industry. Are you still having fun with the travel and performing live? BUNNELL: Yes! How about that? Well I’d put an asterisk on the traveling part (laughs), but we’re still enjoying the performing part and the fact that we still have a viable career. In fact it’s picking up a little steam this past year or two. Right now it’s really changed with the big shake up of with our drummer Willie Leacox retiring this past year after 41 years with the band, and sadly our lead guitarist had to get off the road last November to battle cancer. So we got two younger guys… some new blood, which makes it fun. It makes me and Gerry (Beckley) step up a little more to keep up with those guys. HULICK: I knew Wilie had retired. Was it difficult to find someone to gel with the band because he had been there so long? BUNNELL: Well you never really replace someone like that completely, but it’s given us an element that fans haven’t seen with us before. HULICK: “A Horse With No Name” was your debut single and it went to number one on the Billboard charts. Where were you when you heard that happened? BUNNELL: Well it’s kind of a two pronged thing. We originally recorded and released it in England in 1971 and it wasn’t released in the states until 1972, so there was a bit of a gap there. Oddly enough Warner Brothers Music said they were going to put out the album and the single in the states only if we agreed to come over and do a tour. Of course we jumped at the chance… we were young and ready to do it. So

we did a six week tour of the U.S. basically playing clubs and we opened for the Everly Brothers for some shows. While we were in the states England released the song to coincide with the U.S. tour and while we were heading back to England it went to number one in the states. So to answer your question, each time it went to number one we were in neither of the countries at the time. HULICK: Did that put the pressure on you that every single song you released from that point on needed to go to number one? BUNNELL: We were so full of ourselves Melanie… we thought we had the Midas touch. I don’t remember being anxious about it at all. We felt like we were just part of our generation of young people and we felt they were going to like what we did… and most of the times they did. HULICK: I still have the 45 (rpm) single of “Sister Golden Hair”, which I can’t even guess as to how many times I played it in my room as a teen, even though I can’t carry a tune of one note. So my parents had to suffer through that part of my teenage years. BUNNELL: (laughs) Wow! That’s great to hear… thank you for telling me that. HULICK: Why the name America and who came up with it? BUNNELL: It’s a kind of gray area as to who came up with it. We were all sitting around and the band Chicago had come onto the scene and there was a group named “The U.S. of Americans”. Here we were American kids in England and we’d been there a few years and away from the good old U.S. Our

By Melanie Hulick

Americanism was really a label we wore regardless because of our accents and dealing with British people and there was such focus on this “American” label in our lives. Anyway, the point is we thought if Chicago can use the city name we can use our country name. That’s about all there was to it. HULICK: What’s next for you guys? BUNNELL: There is a live album we’re thinking of putting out as a duo, just Gerry and I with acoustics. We did some shows years ago like this… really stripped down. HULICK: I actually like shows like that because you get let in on a much more personal level with the artist and their songs. BUNNELL: I agree. Believe it or not we have been getting a lot of appreciation from fans with just a five piece band up on stage with us where the use of synthesizers is minimal or not at all. Some of the bands that open for us are coming up to us and saying… Wow! You guys play your own instruments? HULICK: (laughs) Well that sure puts you in the generation gap doesn’t it? BUNNELL: (laughs) It certainly does. HULICK: In one or two words sum up the past 44 years. BUNNELL: That’s a tough one… wow. I think the past 44 years when all is said and done, were pretty remarkable and pretty satisfying. I wouldn’t change a thing. I’d say it’s been a “thumbs up!”
