Spencer O’Boyle of Grand Island won the 2009 DeGlopper VFW Post’s Chili Cook-off, held on Oct. 10.
O’Boyle, a life member of the post, had entered the contest in previous years, but this was his first win.
“I was shocked,” he said of hearing his name announced as the winner. “I was standing out there kidding when they announced everybody else. I says, ‘Well, I’m going to be the winner.’ And then when they called my name, I went, ‘What?’ ”
O’Boyle took home $100 for first place with a recipe that he said he just dreamed up a few days before the event.
“I used three different types of meat. I used hamburger, hot Italian sausage, and pork,” he said. “I tried not to keep it too hot because I’m middle-aged now, and you can’t handle the heat. But it has a bite. You have a few spoonfuls in it, then you feel it. But I don’t like it to be overpowering. You want it to be flavorful.”
Grand Island High School targeted for
majority of capital project funds

Grand Island High School Principal Sandra Anzalone warns those taking a tour of the high school that they are about to enter the boys football team room. She covers her mouth and nose with her hand. The room has no ventilation as is soon painfully obvious to tour attendees.
The team room stop was one on an Oct. 14 tour of the school provided to residents in the days leading up to the district’s capital project referendum. Ventilation of the team room is one of the costs included in the Grand Island Central School District’s proposed $47 million capital project, of which $34 million is earmarked for work at the high school. The vote is Tuesday, Nov. 17, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. in the high school gym.
Another tour is scheduled Saturday, Oct. 24 at 9:30 a.m.
But ventilation in the team room is one small project on a long laundry list of needs, according to the school district administration. During the tour, Anzalone noted:
•The technology program has grown from 60 students to 360, but the available classroom space is scarcely keeping up pace. “We’ve gone from one room to two rooms to three rooms,” she said. “Storage is a big problem for us.”
