Boston to present new contract

By Matt Sargeant

JOURNAL STAFF REPORTER

JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

After the plan for People in the Name of Christ to build a senior living facility in Orchard Park was rejected by the town, they came to Springville, who welcomed the project and did all they could to make it happen.

Now after a year since opening, People Inc. Orchard Senior Living, located at 276 Waverly St., is seeing great success and residents are lining up to get in.

“The community has embraced us and many of our residents are from Springville and that allows them to stay in their hometown that they love, so it has been great for everyone,” said People Inc. Marketing and Communications Manager Nicole Forgione.

People Inc. Orchard Senior Living offers 42 onebedroom apartments for seniors 62-years-old and older who meet the income requirements. They also offer apartments that are handicap adaptable and for people who are hearing or visually impaired.

Once a person meets the requirements, their rent is then set at 30 percent of their adjusted income.

The November storm has come and gone, but the topic at the latest meeting of the Boston Town Board remained the same. After canceling its snow-plowing contract with Erie County back in October, the town of Boston has taken numerous complaints on the condition of county roads within the town. Thus far, there is no reported improvement in the situation.

Gene Partridge, a resident who lives on Back Creek Road, was the primary voice from the audience.

Back Creek Road is an example of a county road that was previously plowed by the town before the contract was canceled.

“People should be able to traverse that road safely, and why the town of Boston would, in essence appear as though they’re sort of ignoring the fact that it’s in the condition it is in, we don’t understand,” Partridge said.

Understanding that he lives on a county road, Partridge had been in touch with the county. “The coun-

ty informed us that the town of Boston canceled its contract and/or terminated its contract with the county for reasons that we don’t know, nor understand,” he said.

Anyone who has attended a town board meeting recently, however, knows the reason well.

“We, the town of Boston, for some 40 years have been contracted to plow certain county roads because they claim they don’t have the manpower or the knowledge or the ability to do it,” said Councilman Jay Boardway.

“Last year, unbeknownst to us until April, they decided to short the town of Boston in a contractual payment that was made for us doing our job. [Supervisor Martin Ballowe] was notified of that when he opened the check. It was just $5,000 short. It took him a month to figure out why they were shorting us the money. They just came up with a variety of reasons why they’d done it.”

Partridge put the issue back on the town board: “It’s between the town and

Annette Gernatt named December Citizen of the Month Erie County Legislator John J. Mills has announced that Annette Gernatt, of Concord, has been named the Citizen of the Month for December 2014. Gernatt was the library director of the Hulbert Library of the town of Concord for 30 years, greatly improving programming during her long tenure.

“I was honored to work alongside Annette for many years, helping to support the library’s needs. She has a true passion for the library and her community and it shows in everything she does. For many years we collaborated on the annual hot dog roast and raised several thousand dollars for the library. Thanks to Annette’s dedication to the library, others have followed her lead, ensuring that her legacy of success will continue,” said Mills. “It is my honor to name Annette Ger-

Fences and other barriers can help keep deer out of your garden or make it difficult for deer to get at your plants.

If you have expensive trees and shrubs that the deer nibble on in the winter, you may consider fencing in your entire yard. Yes, this can be costly, and it might not even work.

Deer are good jumpers, so you have to install a fence that’s at least eight feet high, said Paul D. Curtis, associate professor and extension wildlife specialist at Cornell University.

I had heard that putting up two sets of fences will keep deer out because deer don’t want to jump into the space between the fences. Alas, like every other tip on keeping deer out of your garden, that one’s not foolproof.

Curtis said that at Cornell they have a herd of deer for research penned in with three sets of fences, each fence is eight feet high and the fences are 10 feet apart.

While 120 of the deer stayed put, one deer kept jumping the fences and getting out. “A highly motivated deer will do that,� he said.

If you have tasty plants in your yard and a deer is hungry, it might be motivated to jump over one, or even two, fences.

One of my sisters has a wooded area behind her house, and she installed an electric fence last Novem-

CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO

Plastic netting can be used to keep birds from eating your berries, but it can also be used to keep deer from munching on your shrubs. You can simply wrap the netting around the shrub you want to protect, or try using PVC pipe as columns. ber. The fence is along only two sides of the backyard— the back and the side, which was the deer’s usual path.

In order to keep the deer out of their gardens completely, they would have had to run a fence along the perimeter of their entire lot. That meant they would have needed an electric fence across the front of their yard, too, since deer also enter from the street.

That would have been ugly, plus it would have made it difficult for my sister and her husband to get in and out.

• Commercial • Residential • Agricultural • Homeowners

While my sister thinks it would be more effective to have her entire lot fenced, she said that fencing just two sides has helped. The deer don’t wander in from the back or side anymore.

Even if she had fenced in the entire lot, it might not have kept out the deer entirely, she noted. While the deer don’t bother jumping the electric fence to get into her yard, they’ll jump the fence to get out.

Snow fences can be used during the winter and early spring to protect small groups of trees or shrubs, according to a Cornell fact sheet on deer, written by Curtis and Kristi L. Sul-

livan. Although it’s not an absolute barrier, a snow fence may effectively deter deer from entering small areas, such as a circle 20 yards in diameter.

Another way to protect individual shrubs or small groupings of shrubs is to use plastic bird netting. Although deer may browse any portion of the plants that extend beyond the netting, damage is greatly reduced, according to the Cornell fact sheet. It’s aesthetically pleasing; the netting is usually invisible from a distance, the authors noted.

During the summer I’ve seen hostas wrapped in the netting, and the netting is indeed quite difficult to see.

If you’re worried about the netting getting tangled in the shrubs’ branches, you could use the simple set-up that I saw on a garden walk a couple years ago. The netting is suspended on pillars made of PVC pipe, plastic food containers set atop the pipes form just enough of a platform so the netting doesn’t snag. Boards set on the netting keep it anchored to the ground so it won’t wave in the wind.

You might also try stacking the netting.

You can also cover shrubs in burlap or landscape fabric.

Still, another option for shrubs and even smaller plants is to buy a Shrub Cover that is made in Western New York specifically for the purpose of protecting plants from pests. They come in a variety of sizes.

Springville Journal / Saturday, December 27, 2014

Non-plowed roads cause concern Plowing from page A1 the county to figure out. We are paying for that public service ... The fact that the taxpayers are suffering as a result of this is wrong.”

Ballowe, who began addressing this problem back in April, reported, “I have a meeting with [County Executive] Mark Poloncarz now.

I invited him to the last two meetings, he couldn’t make it to this meeting. I have a letter in front of me. I have a meeting with him on January 9 at 11:00 in his office.”

Ballowe said it’s not about the money, right now, but the safety of the residents.

“I’ll worry about the $5,000 at another time because their lack of plowing is now affecting schools; it is affecting safety.”

He plans to present Poloncarz with a new contract, that was drafted by Michael Kobiolka, the town attorney. Ballowe also plans to meet with Robert Telaak, highway superintendent, to get some numbers and add those into the contract.

“[We’ll] bring it into Mr. Poloncarz’s office, say, ‘Here it is, but it’s kind of air-tight, so you can’t do this to the town again’ – it’s unfair what he did – and bring to him and say, ‘Here, bring it to your legal; let’s get it settled. Let’s get it over with.”

Councilman Larry Murtha said, according to the county, there isn’t enough equipment or personnel to plow Boston roads, due to recent reductions.

“They have a $40 million surplus this year ... It would behoove them greatly to settle this issue by [Jan. 9],” Murtha said.

In the meantime, according to Ballowe, the town’s highway crew “legally cannot drop a plow on [Back Creek] Road,” since the road does not belong to the town.

“I can’t make them come down the road with the plow, I can’t make them sign the contract ... I’m trying to get him to the table. It’s difficult.

I’m hoping that politics are

put aside, which is fine with me, and let’s get the contract done.”

In other board matters: – The board scheduled a public hearing for Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2015 at 7:40 p.m. on proposed local law No. 3 of the year 2014, which is “to amend certain portions of Chapter 11 of the Boston town code regarding membership and terms of office for the Boston Conservation Advisory Council, in the town of Boston.”

– Ballowe reported that the town has agreed to a threeyear extension, for garbage service with Waste Management. The extension will maintain the current rate for the first two years, followed by a one-percent increase in 2017.

The next meeting of the Boston town board is scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2015 at 7:30 p.m.

All meetings are held at the Boston town hall, located at 8500 Boston State Road.

“You have a nice secure feeling here and it’s very friendly,” said resident Ron Cary. “Especially when you are on limited income like I was, you don’t know how far down the road you can go before you start running into problems.”

People Inc. Orchard Senior Living currently has a standing waiting list, but Forgione encourages people who are interested to come see the facility, fill out an application and plan ahead for the future.

“What we like to do is encourage seniors and their family members to take a tour, meet with the manager, meet with tenants and plan ahead because it’s usually just a short wait to join,” said Forgione.

“These features add some extra security to not only the person in the unit themselves, but also their family members and kids have that extra feeling of security as well,” said Forgione.

But being the only senior living facility in Springville, seniors who can’t or don’t want to live by themselves anymore, can come to a place where they’ll be around people and make new friends.

“There are lots of opportunities for new friendships at the facility and the building the way it is set up allows people not to be secluded,” said Forgione. “Everyone has their own apartment, but it is nice to have that next door neighbor feeling just in case you ever need something.”

On Veterans Day, the village of Springville gave their respect for all veterans.

a hug. My last thanks was at Burger King. I was in line waiting to be served and a man tapped me on the should and said “Can I buy you a coffee to thank you for your service?”

It can’t get any better than that.

Thank you and God bless you all.

I say thank you. The ceremony in the park to honor all veterans legions and the V.F.W. with village leaders, the stores that were able to give a discount, free meals by some of the thoughtful restaurants and the Trading Post, my friends, and my family who planned the whole day for me.

Women’s Association continues to raise money for BCH and JBR

By Colleen Mahoney

SPRINGVILLE JOURNAL EDITOR

For 67 years, the Women’s Association at Bertrand-Chaffee Hospital has been raising money, through community events, for both the Hospital and Jennie B. Richmond Nursing home, and they don’t plan on giving up anytime soon.

The Women’s Association president, Karen Ritenour, said the group is made up of roughly 61 members, 43 of whom are active. Throughout the year, they host numerous fundraiser events to lessen the financial burden of operating costs for the hospital and nursing home.

The Women’s Association began in January of 1947 in conjunction with Twigs, which was a combination of Chaffee, Sardinia and West Valley community members. Since then, an average of $11,000 per year has been raised by the Women’s Association of BCH, Ritenour said. Those monies go to specific departments in BCH to help them achieve their “wish list.”

PROVIDED

Members of the Bertrand-Chaffee Hospital Women’s Association at their annual Christmas auction. The group raises an average of $11,000 per year for the hospital and the Jennie B. Richmond Nursing Home.

Ritenour explained that the Association will either sit down with Nils Gunnersen, CEO at BCH, or have departments give them

a list of things that would make their department more efficient. A board of five directors then sit down and vote on which department

needs they will meet for that year.

In 2014, the money raised was in support for the physical therapy department, for special equipment. A portion of it was also donated the the Jennie B. Richmond Nursing Home to help offset the cost of field trips and outings.

“We have a group of really dedicated ladies,” Ritenour said. “They’ve done a lot for the community.”

The main fundraiser is the Association’s annual fashion show, held each fall.

The fashion show features clothing and accessories from local shops, including maurices, Sheret Jewelers, Springville Eye Care and Dress Barn, in 2014.

This year, the fashion show brought in roughly $3,600 for BCH and JBR. The Women’s Association has also held theme baskets which include items from local merchants, and pizza nights, both of which bring in upwards of $200.

“The community is very supportive,” Ritenour said.

“They’re very good about supporting our endeavors.”

In addition to fundraisers, the group also runs the gift shop in the hospital.Ritenour credits member Joyce Smith for picking “unique items” to sell at the gift shop, and

the 10-12 volunteers who work there. Each weekday, volunteers spend time in the gift shop, selling everything from home decorations and gifts to snacks and accessories. All the money earned at the gift shop is given back to the hospital.

The Women’s Association is always looking for new ways to raise funds for both BCH and JBR, as well new members to join.

“We do try to change it up,” Ritenour said. “We’re always trying to think of new ways to raise money, without putting a strain on the merchants.”

The Association is also welcome to new members looking to join, according to Ritenour.

Those that are interested in joining can contact Ritenour at 592-3962, or visit bertrandchaffee.com/About.

From Milwaukee to Ashford, Iekel Spotting Sampson Just Got Easier… shares his mother’s story in new book Read on for Clues

By Peter Soscia

JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Tw o y e a r s a g o , C a t taraugus County native, Rick Iekel was challenged with the task of writing a biography, not of his life or of an historical figure, but someone very close to him, his mother, Helen.

He came upon this project while he was publishing “LIFE LINES- A Selection of Poetry Written by Helen Corrigan Iekel.” Featuring original works written through the years by his mother. “As I was putting together, and writing this

book, the person who was critiquing me said: ‘You really need to write about her life. This is a woman that people will want to read about,’” said Rick.

Now complete, Rick’s book “The Candles of My Life,” tells the true story of his mother, a city girl from Milwaukee, Wisc., who had to make a new life for herself, as a mother living in the country, when she moved to the town of Ashford in 1947. “My father was an engineer who traveled a lot, and that’s how we ended up in Western New York,” said Rick. “The majority of the story is about how my

“The Candles of My Life,” a new book by Rick Iekel, documenting his mother’s life in Ashford, is now avilable on Amazon.com.

mother dealt with coming to the country, as a city girl, from a moderately wealthy family, and feeling almost like a pioneer in a way. She was unfamiliar with the lifestyle but she just pitched in and did what she needed to make it work.” Along with being a mother and poet, Helen taught at Saint Aloysius, in Springville from 1957 to 1962.

Much of Helen’s poetry had to do with adjusting to the new lifestyle, and how eventually she grew to love the area as her new home. “She did a lot of soul searching, and put a pen to that and made it her poetry,” said Rick. Although much of the story is Helen’s biography, Rick included a number of his mother’s poetry pieces in the book.

“At the end of each chapter is a poem that she wrote, that more or less applies to that chapter. So it gives a reader the opportunity to get into the heart and soul of this poet, and to love who she was.”

Rick believes that “The Candles of My Life,” is not just an interesting read to those interested in poetry, but any from the Springville area. “It tells the story of a woman who loved the Western New York area.

If someone enjoys poetry, and wants to find out about the nature of someone who wrote poetry, they will find that in this book,” said Rick.

“The Candles of My Life is now available in print and electronic format on www.Amazon.com/books and will soon be available for purchase at The Concord Mercantile.

S-GI girls score come-from-behind win ‘A’ team turns in clutch performance to lift squad out of 2-0 hole

By Dave DeLuca SPORTS REPORTER

A loss would have made the road to a third-straight divisional title mighty tough for Springville girls bowling.

So, the Lady Griffins decided to make a comeback.

Springville fell behind 2-0 after its first game against Lackawanna on Dec. 17, but rallied for a 4-3 victory to improve to 3-1. Springville’s four players on its “A” team averaged 140 in game one, nearly 30 pins apiece off their season averages.

“We had a terrible first game,” Springville head coach Kevin Farner said.

“When we looked at them in warm ups, I thought, ‘This is a team we should be able to beat kind of handily.’ After we fell behind 2-0, we talked and made some adjustments to how we were playing the lanes and our ‘A’ team came out and shot a huge second game.

“They shot a 762, or something like that -- 195 per game -- which is a major improvement. They bowled a good last game, too, and so did our ‘B’ team. It was a nice comeback.”

Springville still trailed 3-1 after the second game, but the third game is when the Griffs came to life. Seven of the team’s eight starters shot a 133 or better to take the match.

Hardwood Lady Griffs use big second West Valley’s hot quarter as springboard to victory shooting continues in win over Hinsdale

By Dave DeLuca SPORTS REPORTER

By Dave DeLuca

A game-deciding second quarter pushed Springville girls basketball to a 45-38 win over Pioneer on Dec. 19.

Springville outscored Pioneer 15-6 in the second frame to rebound from a rocky first quarter.

“That was the difference in the game,” Springville coach Bob Gainey said. “We outscored them by 11 points and did a much better job defensively, and also breaking [Pioneer’s] full-court pressure.”

Springville trailed 7-0 to start the game as Pioneer’s defense came out forcing turnovers and converting in transition.

“I think we came out flat, which is a little surprising to me,” Gainey said. “I think the kids were playing with a lot of emotion, they were fired up for their first home league game and we were

Pioneer continued to pressure Springville in the full-court, and for much of the game, the visiting Panthers found success. Springville committed 25 turnovers, but survived by getting back on defense and limiting the Panthers’ transition game.

“I thought we were terrible against the pressure, I thought we were brutal,” Gainey said.

“The 25 turnovers is way too many. A lot of that had to do with trying to beat the press individually, trying to drive through traps and really forcing the issue.

“I think being more patient and letting our [press] break-

er work, we could have really benefited much more. I give Pioneer a lot of credit. They trapped well on the sidelines and put us in a tough position throughout.”

See “Hoops” on page B2

West Valley boys hoops coach Bryan Clayback couldn’t help but smile.

Clayback glowed at the scorebook after the Wildcats’ 75-47 win over Hinsdale on Dec. 19.

The first-year coach had a lot to be happy about.

West Valley scored 60 points or more in its third-straight game, eclipsed 70 points for the first time in at least three years and upped its record to 3-1 overall.

“This is really nice to see,” Clayback said. “Our plan was to come out in a man-to-man, fullcourt press. Hinsdale came out early and hit some shots to keep it close, but our press started to create a lot more turnovers, which in essence, gave us some more points and helped us pull away.”

West Valley had a terrific game from behind the 3-point line,

making 10 3-pointers as a team.

“If we can continue to get opportunities like tonight, I think we can get in the ballpark again on some nights,” Clayback said about the 3-point shooting. “The 3-point shooting was a team effort. Justin Summers had a big night, but we had a number of other guys who chipped in.”

Summers led the way for West Valley with 22 points — including four 3-pointers — to go along with his six steals. The junior guard did all of his damage in the first half, including hitting three 3-pointers in the first quarter.

Summers and the rest of West Valley’s starters were taken out of the game late in the second quarter as the team led 49-24 at halftime. Summers is now second in CCAA Division II in scoring, averaging 16 pointsper-game, behind only Dylan Granger (19) of Pine Valley. “[Justin] was great on both ends of the court,” Clayback said. “He was able to penetrate and create shots and also, when we ran our offense, he was able to create some open 3-pointers.

His 3-point shooting was a big asset to the team.”

By Dave DeLuca SPORTS REPORTER

Springville senior Jobe Murphy sat in the middle of the wrestling mat in awe, soaking in as much of the win as he could.

Just a few years ago, Springville could barely even field a team, let alone compete with some of Section VI’s best. The Springville wrestling program has undoubtedly been through an overwhelming rebuild and it may have reached its highest point.

Springville knocked off perennial power Tonawanda on Dec. 12 and Murphy knows exactly how significant a win like this is.

“That win for Springville was huge,” Murphy said. “The past six or seven years, we’ve just been mopped up by other teams.

They would just steamroll us. It was a joke for them to wrestle us. Now that we’ve rebuilt the program — from having six kids in 2011 to [17] kids now — we

can matchup with teams like Tonawanda and beat them.”

Springville added a win 55-21 over Maryvale on Dec. 10 and a 48-33 victory over Alden on Dec. 19. Springville — which now has 17 wrestlers on its roster — is putting together another solid campaign after finishing 7-3 last year.

“I’m really pleased, guys are working hard,” Springville head coach Gary Feltz said.

“Everything is kind of coming to fruition...You look at the Tonawanda win, it’s a really good feeling. It’s nice to get those results after all of the hard work over the last couple years.

“They’re putting a lot of time in. They come in to school in the mornings to run and get their weight down, they’re coming in to lift weights and get stronger.”

Junior Josh Ball was one of six Springville wrestlers to score pins against Tonawanda.

Ball pinned his opponent in 24 seconds to win the 285 class.

Murphy (126), Jake Smith (138), Devin Bruno (160), Bryant Boundy (170), and Jerry Weeks (182) also picked up pins.

Freshman Benn Smith won a 7-6 decision at 120.

Josh Ball pinned his Tonawanda opponent in 26 seconds to win at 285 pounds.

Springville used three pins, two decisions and a handful of forfeits to beat Maryvale, 55-21. The match was tied 1212, but Murphy (132) pinned Maryvale’s Scott Havernick and Springville went on to outscore the Flyers, 43-9, the rest of the match.

Smith (138) won a dominant, major decision over Maryvale’s Ian Slisz, 11-2, while Bruno (160) won a 14-12 decision over Maryvale’s TJ Bogart. Weeks

(182) and Boundy (170) picked up pins for the Griffs along with Murphy.

Springville hosted the Emerling Duals on Dec. 13 for a six-team dual tournament.

Amherst, Gowanda, North Tonawanda, Williamsville East and Wilson joined Springville at the tournament. Springville took third place, knocking off Wilson (48-15), Amherst (36-33) and Williamsville East (42-34) and falling to

North Tonawanda (42-35) and Gowanda (60-15).

Ball had Springville’s best performance of the tournament, posting a perfect, 5-0 record with two pins. Ball lost to Williamsville East’s Patrick Faracca last season at ECICs, but avenged the loss by pinning Faracca at the tournament.

“He has great timing,” Feltz said of Ball. “He knows when he can run some moves and he waits for the right time to

do them.”

Springville earned its third dual meet win over the season against Alden, 48-33. Jake Smith pushed his overall record to 10-1 with a pin at 138.

Springville was also helped by eight forfeits in the match.

Benn Smith led Springville at the North Tonawanda JV Tournament on Dec. 20 with a second place finish in the 120-pound class. He went 4-1 with all four wins coming via a pin. His strong showing at the tournament earned him Springville’s “Wrestler of the Week” honor.

Jacob Perkins also placed at the tournament, taking third place at 285. Greg Benstead and Bruno finished third and fifth, respectively, at 152.

Springville’s only blemish of the season came against Eden, 47-35, on Dec. 17. The narrow defeat was separated by just one match. Springville (3-1) will travel to the NCCC Officials Tournament on Jan. 2 and Jan. 3 before taking on East Aurora/ Holland in a dual meet on Jan. 7.

“We’re still looking to possibly take the division,” Feltz said.

“I know our loss to Eden put a damper on it, but somebody else can probably beat Eden along the way.”

Clayback wants ‘Cats to Deep bench helped Lady Griffs control the boards more often thwart Pioneer’s full-court press Wildcats from page B1 Summers and senior Jared Ras (10 points) were the only two Wildcats in double figures, but West Valley had 11 players score. The team’s big lead allowed Clayback to get some of his bench players lots of minutes.

“It was nice to get everyone into the game and have some of the our bench players play with some of our starters,” Clayback said. “There is nothing better than real game experience to help guys continue to improve.”

Senior Emil Erlandson led West Valley with eight rebounds and added four steals.

Moving forward, Clayback wants his team to improve its rebounding, the coach mentioned. Division foes Forestville, Ellicottville and Pine Valley have size to cause West Valley problems if the Wildcats don’t sure up on the boards.

“I’d like to see us box out more and limit opponents’ second chance opportunities,”

Springville wasn’t worn down physically from Pioneer’s defense because the Griffs were able to use a 12girl rotation. The Lady Griffs’ deep bench was able to sustain the lead after the second quarter to fend off Pioneer, which had only eight girls.

“That was definitely a deciding factor,” Gainey said.

“When we’re able to go 12 deep from our bench onto the floor, it gives us a huge advantage over any team.

Especially against Pioneer’s pressure.

“Being able to wheel guards in and out of the game definitely helped us. Having a big bench saves our girls’ energy, too.”

Senior Heaven Rollek led Springville with 14 points, while sophomore Julia Krzemien wasn’t far behind with 12. Both Rollek and Krzemien — usually depended on to handle the ball —

also chipped in to lead the Lady Griffs in rebounds and blocked shots. Rollek had eight rebounds and Kremien had seven, while both added two blocks apiece.

Springville will now focus its attention on the Emerling Ford Holiday Tournament.

Springville will host Cleve Hill, West Valley and West Seneca East in the annual tournament. Cleve Hill is new to the tournament and may be Springville’s toughest challenge. Cleve Hill will enter the tournament with a 6-1 record and riding a sixgame winning streak.

“Cleve Hill is really strong,” Gainey said. “Obviously winning the whole tournament is what we want to do, but those two games we’re going to play gives us an opportunity to see what we have lineup-wise, before we get in the heart of our league play. It will help us

hammer down a rotation...”

••• S p r i n g v i l l e ’s l e a g u e , ECIC III, looks to be balanced once again. Although it’s early in the season, five teams are separated by just one win. East Aurora seems to be the early favorite to win the division as the Lady Devils have started the season 4-0. East Aurora is led by rising freshman Emma Brinker. Brinker, in her second season on varsity, leads East Aurora in scoring (17.5 per game), rebounds (11) and blocks (4.7).

“It looks like East Aurora is right up there,” Gainey said. “Moving past them, Amherst is going to be tough. Cheektowaga is very athletic. Really, I think East Aurora and ourselves are right there [at the top] of the league.”

Senior trio spearheads Springville swim’s efforts in 3-1 start

By Dave DeLuca SPORTS REPORTER

For years they’ve been making headlines: school records, ECIC patches, sectional medals.

So it’s no surprise what they’re doing as seniors.

The trio of Trey Aebly, Mitch Bunic and Don Piatek continues to lead the Springville swimming team and their dominance in the pool has been key in the Griffins’ 4-1 start.

“They’re really having a fantastic senior year,” Springville coach Duane Boberg said. “I’m pretty sure once sectionals comes around and so does the class meet, there’s definitely some first place swims in those guys.”

The three senior standouts combined for six first

place finishes in leading Springville to a 72-30 win over Maryvale on Dec. 19.

Bunic won the 100 butterfly (57.97) and the 100 backstroke (1:01.33), while Aebly took first in the 100 breaststroke (1:09.65) and the 50 freestyle.

Piatek was a staple in leading the 400 relay team (3:52) and the 200 free relay (1:41) to first place finishes. He also picked up a second place finish in the 50 freestyle.

Christian Krasnek took first in diving with a score of 229.8, while sophomore Nolan West won the 200 free (1:59).

The East Aurora meet is the lone blemish on Springville’s record. East Aurora, a perennial power in the pool, handed Springville a 99-84 loss.

“They have so much more depth than we have,” Boberg said. “We took them right down to the last race. We could have tied them if we would have came in first and third in the relay, we just didn’t have enough horses at the end. It’s the closest Springville has came to beat-

ing them in 20 years, so it was still a great meet for us.”

Aebly, Piatek and Bunic teamed up with West to set the school record in the 200 medley relay in the team’s loss to East Aurora. Aebly, Piatek and Bunic set the record last season with Ryan O’Hara, who was a senior last year, but broke it again this year with West stepping in.

In addition to Springville’s victory over Maryvale, the Griffs have also knocked off Pioneer, Tonawanda and Alden.

“They’re looking pretty good,” Boberg said of his squad. “They’re already in the end of last year’s form, most of our swimmers.

They’ve been working really hard and I think we’re in really good shape...We’re hoping to win the rest of our matches, which it looks like there’s a pretty good chance we can do.

“We got dropped down to Class C this year from Class B, so we’re definitely looking to take first place in Class C.” Springville returns to action when the Griffs host Cleve Hill on Jan. 6.

FROM the SIDELINES

Bills players help kids Play 60, playoff chances squandered

By Tom Gallagher SPORTS EDITOR

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Chris Hogan participates in Play 60 and Fitness for Kids Challenge events all season long, but still, the athletic instincts and abilities of some of the participating kids manage to surprise him every time.

“There are always a couple of kids out here that will actually really juke you out,” Hogan said with a laugh.

Even so, athletic ability notwithstanding, Hogan thinks it’s just good to see kids being active.

Hogan, alongside his Buffalo teammates and representatives from the Independent Health Foundation and the American Heart Association, hosted 300 elementary school students from participating schools throughout Western New York to celebrate the completion of the Play 60 Challenge on Dec. 16 inside the AdPro Field House at One Bills Drive.

The Play 60 Challenge is a key initiative of the Buffalo Bills and the NFL that encourages America’s youth to be physically active for at least 60 minutes every day.

The Challenge was offered to local students in partnership with the Independent Health Foundation’s Fitness for Kids Challenge in a joint

effort to increase students’ physical activity and encourage good nutrition.

Hogan and his fellow Bills spoke with children about the significance of physical activity and healthy eating and supervised footballoriented physical fitness stations.

Hogan, of course, was holding a blocking pad. And while some of the kids managed to juke the second-year Bill out, he was encouraged by the turnout and enjoyed being there.

“I love doing these Play 60 events,” he said. “We do them all year and I look forward to coming out here and running around with the kids. It’s a good time and they get a kick out of it.

It’s a lot of fun seeing how much fun they have with just a couple of Bills players out here.”

Matching the excitement of participating children can be a tall order, the 26-yearold said, but after a few minutes, he was having just as much as fun as they were.

“Five minutes into it I find myself running around more than the kids are and sweating,” Hogan said. “I love these events.”

He’s not the only one.

Bills center and captain Eric Wood, a sixth-year veteran, supervised a blowup slide with quarterback Jeff Tuel.

“The whole Play 60 program is great,” Wood said.

“Childhood obesity is growing in this country and anything we can do to help that and get the kids out having fun is a great deal. And it seems like the kids are having a blast.”

••• A few days after the Bills hosted area elementary students, the Oakland Raiders hosted the Bills. But the Raiders weren’t in it for fun and games.

The Raiders spoiled Buffalo’s bid for one of the AFC’s wildcard spots by defeating the Bills, 26-24, in what was a must-win game for Doug Marrone’s squad.

The loss came one week after Buffalo upset Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers behind a stalwart defensive effort.

The Bills clinched their 15th straight season without

a playoff berth with the loss.

••• What could have been a rivalry showdown between a postseason-hungry Buffalo team and a New England unit that dominates the Bills perennially, has turned into a game with little significance behind it.

Stadium. The game will be broadcast on CBS. The Patriots (12-3), who beat the Jets 17-16 on Sunday, have already locked up a first-round bye but could be playing for home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. The Bills (8-7), meanwhile, will aim to finish a season over .500 for the first time since 2004.

7-0 lead to start the game.

Springville came within two points of the Warriors on four separate occasions, but couldn’t take the lead.

“What went wrong is that we can’t put the ball in the

basket,” Noeson said. “We took poor shots, didn’t rebound offensively at all, and even the good looks we got, didn’t fall. We also ran into an opposing player who had a special night.”

Springville shot 28 percent (17 of 61) from the field and 50 percent (11 of 22) from the free throw line. Noeson wants to see an added focus from his team on getting the ball inside the paint area as the Griffs struggled from behind the 3-point line, going 2 of 13.

“We need to get the ball inside,” Noeson said. “We can’t rely on guys knocking down 3s.”

Sophomore forward John Domes had a career-high 13 points to lead Springville in scoring. Junior guard Kyle Warner had 12 points and senior center Pat Emmick had 10 to join Domes in double figures.

The loss drops Springville to 1-4 overall as winter break arrives.

“Every loss is frustrating, especially when you don’t play your best,” Noeson said.

“You can pick out dozens of

things we could have done better.”

Springville hosts West Valley on Dec. 27 to open its play in the Emerling Ford Holiday Tournament.

West Valley (3-1) has gotten off to a nice start, having scored 60-plus points in three-straight wins. Eden (1-3) and Gowanda (2-2) will also be participating in the tournament.

“We just need to take care of things we’re in control of better,” Noeson said.

“There’s not a ton of things teams are doing to us right now that are causing any major problems with us.

We just need to play better flat out in every aspect of the game. We’re looking forward to the tournament.

We know we haven’t played to our potential other than maybe the Maryvale game thus far.”

S-GI boys bowlers best Eden, fall to Lackawanna Bowling from page B1 Junior Emily Zebrowski led the way with a 526 series and a career-best 228 game. Sophomore Mariah Gamel had a 501 series, while Elizabeth Chase (463 series) and seventh grader Sonya Krezmien (422) also made big contributions in the win.

Springville also picked up a 7-0 win over Eden on Dec. 16. Zebrowski once again was the team’s best bowler, rolling a careerbest 562 series and a 200

game. Freshman McKenzie Brown had a career-best, too, with a 536 series.

Springville sits in second place in the division to Pioneer, which beat the Griffins, 4-3, in early December.

“Well figure out more when we get back after the holidays and play Pioneer again,” Farner said about the team’s hopes of a thirdstraight division title. “Our first match back is at Holland, then our second is at

Pioneer. They’re probably our equal in the division.

If we can beat them, we have a pretty good chance at beating anyone else.”

••• On the boys side, the Griffins won at Eden, 4-3, before losing to Lackawanna, 7-0, to even their record to 2-2. Sophomore Daimen Skinner led the team in both matches, rolling a 219 game and a 583 series against Eden, followed by a 206 game

and a 562 series against Lackawanna.

“Daimen is doing very well,” Farner said. “In his last couple matches he’s really coming around.

We’ve been working together and practicing a few things lately. They’re all good kids; they take well to instructions. They’re always willing to try what I suggest and he’s had a lot of improvement in the last month or so because of that.”

Sophomore Zack Slippy and freshman Nick Abdo both had notable performances, too. Slippy rolled a 206 game at Eden and a 200 game at Lackawanna, while Abdo had a 202 game and 544 series at Lackawanna.

Both the boys and the girls return to action on Jan. 5 when they travel to Holland. Holland’s lanes are much different than Springville is use to playing on. The unique lanes will be a focus for the Griffs over

their winter break.

“We always have a special practice before we go to Holland,” Farner said.

“They have extremely difficult lanes over there.

I’ve been doing a little scouting on what to expect over there, so I’m going to give the kids as close to a simulation as I can.

“The lanes are really dry and the kids get a lot more hook on the ball than they’re used to seeing anywhere else.”

Springville Lanes

The Christmas holidays bring thoughts of good photographs back home as families gather to share old times and precious moments.

Over the last 40 years of writing outdoor stories and capturing moments not to be forgotten, some most rewarding memories have been preserved by a fair photograph. Some pictures were the result of sheer luck, though many were planned for. In some cases, the results were luck! We all learn as we go.

Good pictures seem much easier to take today, with the new micro-miniaturization of electronics, especially with instant focus, automatic exposure and immediate video screen review, all part of the usual and standard picture taking process.

There is no need to set the lens for focus, exposure and depth of field manually. It is a joy to take pictures with modern marvel cameras.

We have come a long way!

While I have sold hundreds of outdoor pictures to editors in that time, I was always in a quandary as to how some photographers always seemed to sell shot after shot of nearly every type of outdoor image. I found it has to do with taking good advice and learning a few good picture-taking habits.

Most conservation-minded outdoor folks who camp, hike, bike, boat, hunt or fish, or just enjoy watching birds in their backyard have an interest in obtaining a lasting image of that great outdoor experience. We all like to share the great experiences we have been afforded well into the future!

Scrapbook moments help to define who we are, what we do, how we have fun

JOE FORMA

The great Western New York outdoors offers everyone the opportunity to observe and photograph the unique wildlife we enjoy in our geographic area, like this Red-Tail Hawk searching for a mouse in Elma. and how we pass it on to upcoming generations. Great pictures can lead the way!

It is easier today with modern digital outdoor photography, but there are modern camera secrets to know too. Shooting a waterfall, a fast boat, a series of stream rapids, leaping animals, high-flying birds, posing with a catch and release fish, trap shooting and more, can still present a digital photography challenge.

With old-fashioned film shooting and modern digital camera photography too, the best shots are taken with a single-lens reflex style camera. So the essential good camera is still a necessity, the higher megapixel count cameras produce the best pictures. My personal

everyday camera is not an SLR, but is a Nikon S3200 with zoom and exposure capabilities and fits into any pocket to deliver 16 megapixel digital details – nearly as good as print film.

One significant benefit from digital camera shooting is that the high cost, due to trial and error, of photo and slide film is not an issue anymore. You can shoot until your practice sessions reveal perfection. Inexpensive memory sticks and flash memory drives have replaced costly film across the digital camera industry.

However, to achieve truly great digital outdoor pictures is never a simple task until you learn how; it’s more than aim and shoot. It involves the use of the right

equipment and understanding the options available with outdoor light.

While there are plenty of books on this subject with websites and personal blogs – everybody is an expert on something these days – there really is not that much help on how to take quality digital outdoor photographs. In most books that actually cover this subject, the typical nature-lover and outdoor person is led into confusion.

One shortcut to digital photography success that simply cuts to the chase and provides a nuts-and-bolts approach to the great digital world of outdoor images

Erie County Parks are ready for winter The Erie County Department of Parks, Recreation and Forestry is prepared to offer a full slate of familyfriendly winter activities at county parks once measurable snow arrives and temperatures provide the consistent cold and freezing conditions necessary to support winter fun. Activities including sledding, ice skating, cross-country and downhill skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and tobogganing can be enjoyed in various Erie County parks.

“Our Erie County parks system has a lot to offer year-round, and winter is a great season to be outside enjoying time with family and friends in our beautiful natural settings,” said Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz. “Whether it’s tobogganing at Chestnut Ridge, downhill skiing at Emery, cross-country skiing at the Elma Meadows and Grover Cleveland golf courses or sledding at one of our other great parks, there is a lot of free fun waiting to be had as soon as we get some snow.”

Winter sports offerings are updated daily at www2. erie.gov/parks/ and it is recommended that individuals and families check the website and weather conditions before heading to a park. Groomed crosscountry skiing at Grover Cleveland golf course is a new offering this year, with

snowmobiles standing by to groom the course. When the weather permits, sledding will be available at Akron Falls, Chestnut Ridge, Como Lake, Ellicott Creek, Elma Meadows and Sprague Brook; ice skating at Akron Falls and Como Lake; ungroomed cross-country skiing at Akron Falls, Chestnut Ridge, Como Lake, Ellicott Creek, Elma Meadows, Emery, Forestry and Sprague Brook; groomed cross-country skiing at Elma Meadows, Grover Cleveland and Sprague Brook; downhill skiing at Emery; snowboarding at Akron Falls, Chestnut Ridge, Ellicott Creek, Elma Meadows, Emery and Sprague Brook; snowshoeing at all Erie County parks and tobogganing at Chestnut Ridge.

“We encourage residents to check the website before coming out to enjoy winter activities at our parks. Because we don’t control the weather, we can’t be certain that all activities will be happening on any given day in the winter,” said Commissioner of Parks, Recreation and Forestry Troy P. Schinzel. “Once the snow is here and we get a good freeze, there will be plenty of winter fun to go around.”

When the ground is frozen and there is at least six inches of snow, snowmobile trails will also open in select Erie County parks. More information can be found at www.wnysnowtrails.com.

Cattaraugus County Farm Bureau members receive Silver Key Awards at the New York Farm Bureau’s annual meeting. Pictured from left, Phyllis Couture, Lois Bergan, Charles Couture, Dave Zilker and Hal Kreher, NYFB State board director from Clarence Center.

Cattaraugus County Farm Bureau was presented with seven Silver Key Awards at the New York Farm Bureau State annual meeting, held Dec. 9-11 in Rochester.

The Silver Key Awards are presented to county farm bureaus that have exhibited excellence in a variety of categories relating to effectiveness in policy implementation, promoting agriculture amongst the public and in classrooms, leadership development and membership building.

The awards were presented for excellence in the following categories: membership, agricultural education and promotion, information and public relations, leadership development, policy development and implementation on the

local level, policy development and implementation on the state and national level and distinguished president.

In addition, Phyllis Couture, of West Valley was reelected as state promotion and education chair at the state annual meeting. Couture will also be serving on the National Promotion and Education Committee. She will attend the American Farm Bureau annual meeting in San Diego in January when the first national P&E committee meeting will take place.

While at the state annual meeting, farmer members also took part in the grassroots process of laying the groundwork for the year ahead. More than 100 delegates from across New York

proposed, discussed and voted on resolutions that set NYFB’s public policy agenda for 2015. Members from Cattaraugus County Farm Bureau that participated were Charles and Phyllis Couture from West Valley, Nathan and Barb Blesy from Springville, David Zilker from Delevan, Darin and Katie Hill from Cattaraugus and Lois Bergan from Great Valley.

Cattaraugus County Farm Bureau is dedicated to solving the economic and public policy issues challenging the agricultural community.

The county is part of New York Farm Bureau, the largest agricultural advocacy group in New York state, known to members and the public as The Voice of New York Agriculture.

Proper exposure, image filing and how to work with the digital images later on is all there, too.

The CD book can be read from any desktop or laptop computer, and can be ordered direct from McDonald Wildlife Photography for under $30, which includes postage and handling. Call (717) 543-6423 or visit www. hoothollow.com. I learned a ton of picture-taking savvy from this author.
