By Colleen Mahoney

Springville Fire Chief Dennis Dains thanked the Concord Town Board for their action to get Mercy EMS operating in Concord in 2015. At the board’s Aug. 12 meeting, Dains reported that municipalities north of Concord were beginning to have issues with their current emergency service provider and are looking to contract

with another entity.

“Thanks, for all you’ve done and did [to get] the certificate of need,” Dains said. “Because of that, we’re way ahead of the ball game.”

Dains also reported that the Springville fire department recently met with Mercy EMS to review their partnership over the past year. He noted it was a productive meeting, and was a good opportunity

for the organizations to address concerns.

Currently, there are two fully staffed advanced life support paramedic units, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There is also a dedicated “fly car” on a 12-hour shift. A fly car is a vehicle driven by a trained emergency medical professional who can respond to emergency scenes but cannot transport patients. On the hours without a driver, Dains said paramedics from Sardinia, Colden and Machias can cover the vehicle, if needed.

The board approved extending a contract for a program manager at the Concord Senior Center with Healthy Community Alliance through Dec. 31. The position was being funded by See Concord Town Board page 4

SES Welcomes Back Scarpine

By Ashlee O akley

Welcome, and congratulations to Christopher Scarpine, the newly-hired principal at Springville Elementary School!

While having grown up in Mayville, on Lake Chautauqua in New York, and one of approximately 36 graduates of Mayville Central School in his graduating class, Scarpine considers SES his “home.” This is where he began his career in education as a teacher, and he states, “the students, faculty, staff, and community in Springville have always been wonderful to me. I’m excited for the opportunity to return (as principal).”

Scarpine held a variety of positions while at SES before he left in 2014 to become assistant principal at Lake Shore Middle School.

“I taught for 9 years at SES, grades 3, 4 and 5,” Scarpine noted.

After graduating high school, Scarpine entered the U.S. Navy where he served as a Corpsman, four years active duty and three years in the Navy Reserves. While in the Reserves, Scarpine attended University at Buffalo, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in psychology.

Later, he attended Medaille College, receiving a Master of Science degree in elementary education, and more recently, he has earned two advanced certificates in school building leadership and school district leadership, from SUNY at Fredonia.

Scarpine hopes to continue to promote a symbiotic relationship with the See Scarpine page 5

Rails to Trails Open Now

Official Ribbon Cutting Oct. 5

By Colleen Mahoney

The Springville Rails to Trails will be officially opened after a ribbon cutting event on Oct. 5, but community members have begun using the trail system already.

The 1.8 mile trail runs through the village of Springville from North Street to the Lowe’s store on South Cascade Drive. It’s part of the Erie Cattaraugus Rail Trail, which stretches 27.6 miles from Orchard Park to Ashford.

The village secured the right of entry contract from the Buffalo Pittsburgh Railroad back in May and began working on making the trail walkable immediately.

Springville Superintendent of Public Works Ken Kostowniak said the village “had a very, very small amount of money to work with. We used recycled material and got a lot of donations from the community.”

This year, the DPW focused on the trailhead on West Main and Waverly streets. The area, next to Kiril’s Restaurant, allows for some parking and has benches and picnic tables for community members.

There is a kiosk built by Springville-Griffith Institute alumnus Dan Ettipio which will have a map and rules of the trails.

“It’s really well made … he did a good job,” Kostowniak said. “He even came and helped install it. It looks great.”

The project benefited from other donations from the community, as well.

The benches at the trailhead were purchased with money raised by the Springville Griffith Community Education Foundation, and some of

the trees were donated by Schichtel’s Nursery. The yellow bollards lining the entrances are reused from former playgrounds and the trail’s pathway is made from recycled roadway.

“All of the credit goes to [lead man] Greg Reynolds and the streets division,” Kostowniak said. “I sent them out there with little more than a concept sketch and they did all the work. They deserve all the credit.”With phase one done, Kostowniak said next year the village will begin work extending north and south of the trailhead, eventually completing the entire trail. In the meantime, the trail is open for use.

“I, personally, think it looks great. It really beautifies the village,” he said. “It’s been hard with the drought, getting the grass to grow, but it will look better each year. I’ve already seen people using it, which is good.”

The trail is considered multiuse may be used by pedestrians, bicyclists, cross-country skiers and equestrians.

More details on the Oct. 5 ribbon cutting will be forthcoming.

Concord Anticipates Struggle to Stay Under Tax Cap

By Colleen Mahoney

The Town of Concord is facing a 0.67 percent tax cap, going into its 2017 budget.

Town Supervisor Gary Eppolito said the town board will be working hard to keep the budget under the tax cap, without compromising public services and safety.

Two work sessions have been set for the town board to decide on a budget, Eppolito said. He noted that in Concord, the board and supervisor work together to create a budget. Other towns have the supervisor create a budget and then the board approves it.

“We like to have a consensus here … I know it’s not the same way other towns do it,” Eppolito said. “The whole board sits down and makes the budget … it’s just easier.”

Heading into the 2017 budget year, Eppolito said staying under the low tax cap is going to be a struggle.

Capital projects for municipal improvements, unlike school districts, are part of the tax cap, which can create a resistance to

execute capital improvements.

“If we have to put a new sewer line in Crane Ridge … which would be a capital improvement project … that comes from our taxes,” Eppolito explained. “So some towns are waiting on their capital projects to stay under the tax cap.”

As the board sits down to work out the budget, Eppolito said they will be trying to stay under the 0.67 tax cap. By New York state law, the town can exceed the tax cap if they pass a local law prior to doing so.

Eppolito anticipates passing the local law to exceed the tax cap, “just in case.”

“We’re going to try and keep it at 0.67 … but we still have to fix roads [and] I will not compromise public safety,” he said. “We may pass a local law … I don’t want to … but to protect us, just in case.”

Eppolito believes the town can stay under the tax cap this year, but anticipates it will need to exceed it the following budget year. The town, he said, just won’t be able to afford

staying under the tax cap for two years.

“Unfortunately, the money just isn’t there,” he said. “We, as a board, have to look at everything.”

According to Eppolito, the state advertises the tax cap as 2 percent, but it rarely reaches that high. The town has complained to elected officials, but hasn’t gotten anywhere.

“Most towns could live with a 2 percent tax cap … very rarely do we go over that. A 2 percent cap is reasonable,” he said. “The problem is … it’s never been 2 percent, it’s always lower.”

Moving into the budget work sessions, Eppolito said the board will be looking at every expense the town has. Ideally, he said, they would like to support all town services, but it might not be able to happen this year.

“We’re going to to look at everything … and we’re going to try very, very hard to stay under that 0.67 percent,” Eppolito said.

Keeping healthcare local for you and your neighbors.

The following was provided by the Concord Historical Society: Did you know that the Erie County Fair was once held at the Dygert Farm in Springville? J. Pete Dygert, the current owner and ďŹ fth generation, shared his recollection with us: The Erie County Fair was held at the Dygert farm and Racetrack, also called the Springville Driving Park, in 1866 and 1867. I was told the Fair Board at the time decided to ďŹ nd a permanent home for the Fair as it rotated among various communities in Erie County. In 1868 they voted to locate the fair in Hamburg, a considerable amount of acreage was given to the board by a Hamburg resident and the Springville site lost by one vote. This permanent location had no racetrack on the grounds and one to be constructed, the Dygert Track is historically older by approximately 10 years and more symmetrical. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a ďŹ rm date as to the construction of the Dygert Farm Track, but my ancestors always ventured a hypothesis that it took ďŹ ve or more years to construct such a half mile track in those early years with only primitive tools and machines at their disposal. They always ventured the thought that the track was operation prior to 1860 as there are records showing races were held there prior to the 1866 fair.

The Grandstand was in existence for the fair, as well as a judge stand, horse barns and athletic ďŹ elds, in the inďŹ eld of the track My Father, Dewey Dygert, always told me that his grandfather Robert F Dygert St. (1814 - 1891) built the track with assistance from various village folks -- remember that village residents had a personal likeness for this project as they all had horses used to travel around the area and some were fast enough to race in competition-- they mostly supplied labor, and horsepower, but little ďŹ nances.

Dewey often mentioned that the track conducted races every other Sunday of the month during the spring, summer and early fall seasons with a carnival atmosphere comprised of amusement rides, merchandise booths, balloon ascensions and animals exhibitions. He further told me that his father, Robert F. Dygert Jr. told him that those Sundays were very well attended as it was the social thing to do in those days to get all dressed up in their Sunday duds. Many of the attendees came via train from Buffalo and neighboring areas and had to ďŹ nd housing accommodations for an overnight stay and return by train the next day. As for the horsemen racing their horses, they slept in tack rooms.

I did near that in those early days as the fair rotated among various communities and many had no racetrack and the race were conducted on the village streets, which offered poor sight lines to see the entire race, hence oval tracks came of age as did the Fair.

Concord Town Board Continued from front page

Healthy Community Alliance through a grant that expires at the end of September. The board approved extending the contract and funding the position for an amount not to exceed $5,400.

Jennifer Mantione, who currently holds the position, called the decision to extend the contract “good news.”

She noted that the seniors in the area deserve a nice place of their own, and without the program coordination with the Springville Concord Elder Network (SCENe) position, that may not be a reality.

“There is a lot of behind the scenes stuff no one notices, because it just gets done. Keeping the garden

clean, keeping the building clean … just making sure that everything is running smoothly,” Mantione said.

“There is a lot of coordination involved … we want to make sure the seniors who come here have a comfortable experience.”

Mantione had been operating with the hope that her position would be extended, so she continued to fill in the program schedule for the fall season.

She noted it is important for the senior center to have a “gamut” of programming available, as the patrons have different hobbies.

“We have such a diverse group of seniors … who love different things,” she said.

“We’re here to help them age well. Everyone ages differently.”

Mantione said that the contract extension is good for the seniors, who will continue to benefit from a full schedule and a welcoming building. She noted that programs would still be available through other entities within the senior center, but the SCENe programs would suffer without it.

“This really is just great news,” she said. “I’m really happy to hear that.”

The Concord Town Board will next meet Sept. 8 at 7 p.m. in the Concord Town Hall, 86 Franklin St., Springville.

OBITUARIES Griffis Sculpture Park Summer Fest Aug. 21

Art, music and nature collide this weekend at the annual Girffis Sculpture Park (GSP) Summer Festival. On Sunday, Aug. 21, plan for outdoor fun from noon to 7 p.m.

At the Summer Fest, GSP continues its tradition of great outdoor live music by featuring musical performances by some of the region’s best musicians, including headliner Funktional Flow, Sly Boots School of Music, Sonder and Kaleidoscope Sky. The younger set can take part in children crafts and activities, that will include creating painted button trees and stick beaded wind chimes.

community as a whole, his experience being that SES has always been a large part of the Springville community.

“Continuing to foster relationships with community organizations that benefit the well-being of our students and their families will be a primary focus, as well as giving back to the community via community service and outreach.”

He goes on to praise SES and Springville Griffith Institute as a whole for the wonderful resources available in the forms of technology, faculty and staff, and community support.

“Using these resources, our plan will be to make Springville Elementary School the new standard for elementary education,” Scarpine adds.

Another focal point for Scarpine will be to help sustain the “school climate in which all students feel welcomed and safe… When addressing any disciplinary issues that arise, it

is important to fully understand ALL of the circumstances, and then speak with all of the involved parties to ensure that the communication is clear, accurate, and there are no misunderstandings.”

The key to all of this, Scarpine says, is being sure to acknowledge there is an issue when it arises, and taking exact and meaningful steps to correct the situation. “You have to be someone that is willing to do the work and put in the time that is necessary,” he says.

When asked what the best piece of advice he’s ever gotten has been, he replied, “Take any and all advice that you can get.

Use what is useful, and save the rest, because at some point in life it may become useful.”

He is a firm believer that you must be able to listen to the people most affected, when trying to make decisions that affect many, or bring about growth and positive change.

While busy, Scarpine finds

time to be involved in his community at home in Angola, where he is involved in his daughters’ soccer and softball leagues, as well as his local Boys and Girls Club. Also, he is a member of the Lake Erie Charter Boat Captains Association, and the National Charter Boat Association. He labels himself an outdoorsman, and loves hunting and fishing, as well as camping with his wife, Amie, and two daughters, Marisa and Lucie (don’t forget Kuma, the dog!).

Scarpine’s hopes are to make SES the best elementary school in Western New York, and asserts, “...and with the faculty, staff, and community we have to grow with, I know we can be.”

Scarpine’s official start date at Springville Elementary School is Aug. 25; if you would like to reach him with any questions or concerns, his email address is available on the school district’s website.

Pumpkinville Selected as Official Peanuts’ Partner

One of 10 Best Mazes in the U.S.

Fri • 2 Guys Drinkin’ Beer • 9pm Sat • JB Martin & The Smokin’ Dogs • 9pm Wed • Wagner & Winston • 8pm Thursday • Freddie & Friends • 8pm

Apparently Linus believes that Pumpkinville truly has one of the most “sincere pumpkin patches” in America. That’s why the iconic cartoon is partnering with Pumpkinville this year to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the animated film, It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

Pumpkinville is one of 100 locations across the nation to receive the distinction. In honor of the selection, Pumpkinville designed its six-acre corn maze with a distinct Peanuts theme that features Snoopy and the logo of WYRK-FM Country 106.5, the maze sponsor.

And, in appreciation of those efforts, Peanuts Worldwide announced on Monday, August 15, that it has selected Pumpkinville as one of the Top 10 best mazes in the United States.

By being named as one of the top ten, the official Corporate Snoopy Character will be visiting Pumpkinville for two Saturdays - September 24 and Oct 1.

“Pumpkinville is very honored and proud to be one of only three farms in the entire Eastern United States to be named one of the top ten best mazes,” said Dan Pawlowski, who owns the nationally recognized agri-tourism attraction with his wife Diane and their children.

“Pumpkinville has meant Fall Family Fun for decades,” he said. “Adding the Peanuts gang to our 200-acre pumpkin

Ellicottville.

“Money raised from this event supports the Rotary for Youth and Rotary’s Family Support for Ellicottville,” explained Greg Cappelli of the Ellicottville Rotary. “We started this event 13 years ago, and this is the third year it’s been the Tuscan Moon theme.”

The event is a tribute to Michael Kerns, who owned Balloons Restaurant and Nightclub and quietly helped many local people, charities and organizations, such as the ECS Sports Boosters and the Ellicottville Memorial Library.

See Tuscan Moon page 6

Mansfield to Seek Tax Levy Override

By Jann Wiswall

Like a lot of communities in the region this year, Mansfield is facing the prospect of being forced to override the NYS tax cap in order to continue to provide essential services for its residents.

The tax cap is often referred to as a 2 percent tax cap, but in reality it will dip to 0.68 percent

for the 2017 fiscal year, a drop from 0.73 percent in 2016, according to State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli.

With barely more than half of one percent to work with, the Mansfield board is looking to cut as much as possible from its budget. But, as Town Supervisor Bob Keis explained, the entire budget

for the town and highway department is only $1.1 million, and only a little over half of those revenues come from property taxes. A .68 percent tax increase would yield only $3,000 or $4,000 in new revenues.

“We are expecting some expenses to increase,” he See Mansfield Board page 8

Town Board Responds to Residents’ Issues

By Jann Wiswall

The Town of Ellicottville board held a public hearing on Wednesday, August 17 to hear public comment on a law giving property tax exemptions to senior citizens in two additional income brackets.

This county law must be passed be each municipality.

There were no comments from the public and the board passed the law.

Privilege of the Floor Two Town of Ellicottville residents came to the board on Wednesday, August 17 to ask for its help on two separate matters.

Margaret LaCroix said she

narrowly avoided being in a serious car accident at the T-intersection of Rt. 219 and 242 where all southbound traffic on 219 must stop at a flashing red signal to turn either way on Rt. 242; Rt. 219 continues to the right into Ellicottville.

farm and attractions will make it extra special for kids and adults alike. After all, we grew up with the Peanuts gang.”

Pumpkinville will be open September 17 through October 31. The oldest, continuously working pumpkin farm in New York State draws 100,000 people during its six-week season.

Activities connected with the 50 Years of The Great Pumpkin will be prominent throughout Pumpkinville. Great Pumpkin Bingo will now be a part of the 6-acre corn maze. Search for signs in the maze that tell you what squares to scratch off.

“If you complete the bingo game correctly, you’ll be eligible to win a grand prize trip for four to see the Peanuts Gang at Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, California,” said Diane Pawlowski.

On select weekends the Peanuts characters will be walking around Pumpkinville meeting kids of all ages. There will be photo ops with a Peanuts character background as well as Peanuts decorations throughout Pumpkinville, including painted pumpkins and hay bale art.

A wide variety of Peanut’s 50th Anniversary of the It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! merchandise ranging from t-shirts and mugs to books and toys will be available.

“We’re really excited about this partnership,” Dan Pawlowski said. “And just like Linus, we hope The Great Pumpkin will visit Pumpkinville this Halloween.”

“The Great Pumpkin and cornfield mazes are two of the world’s greatest fall traditions, eagerly anticipated by fans every single year, and we’re so excited to bring them together for this landmark anniversary,” said Jill Schulz, daughter of Peanuts creator Charles M.

She has had recent appearances on The View and The Howard Stern Show and was chosen by Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg to be a part of their Dirty, Sexy, Funny franchise that included a hilarious all-female slate of standup comedians comedy special on EPIX/Hulu, a touring show and a pilot for A&E.

KidsFit is what you get when you pair Molly Eshbach’s passion for gymnastics with my passion for fitness. This program was designed to stimulate our youngest athlete, ages 3-6, by challenging their ability to cooperate, listen and play. Molly always included a tumbling element and taught the kiddos the importance of movements big and small.

She taught them stretches and exercises that will be useful throughout their lifetime.

KidsFit was all about building on each child’s strengths and giving them opportunities to learn some oldschool games like duckduck-goose, Simon Says, and to jump over Jake the Snake.

Some days, parents and grandparents were encouraged to practice these games at home to better acquaint our youngest participants. And a day did not go by where parents would not tell Molly, myself, or our newest instructor, Melinda Jones, that their child did not love the class and could not wait for Mondays with Molly.

Molly will be heading to Pittsburgh this fall to finish her degree, but promises to bring her brand of KidsFit back in January.

But, don’t fret, because KidsFit is here to stay at CORE PERFORMANCE Fitness and Training. Melinda Jones will be starting our new program this Monday, Aug. 22. The class will be for kids ages 7-10, and runs from 4 to 4:45 p.m.

Cost is $25 for 5 classes.

Melinda, who is a fully certified fitness instructor, also has a BS degree in social work.

She has a wealth of experience working with the public and enough enthusiasm to break the bank. Melinda will be gearing up to teach our next group of kiddos more skills and focus on core strength moves, while keeping it fun and playful. Again, cooperation and listening will be a central theme and proper body form and movement taught too.

CORE PERFORMANCE’s main goal is to inspire our kiddos to keep moving and to stay fit for a lifetime. Our plan is to keep kids a part of the CORE PERFORMANCE FITNESS COMMUNITY and to teach them the fitness knowledge to keep them strong, injury resistant and healthy as they develop and grow into adults.

For more information contact CORE PERFORMANCE at (716) 698-1198 or visit us on Facebook at Core Performance Health and Fitness.

Enjoy Late Summer in Randolph

By Mary Heyl

Looking to enjoy the final weeks of summer with your family? Take a drive to the historic village of Randolph, where every weekend provides something fun to do for visitors of all ages.

Interested in exploring Randolph’s historic downtown? Make it an unforgettable experience by driving down Main Street in a brand new Chevy!

On Saturday, August 27th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Randolph Area Community Development Corporation is partnering with Landmark Chevrolet to host a Drive for Your Community Day to raise money for the Randolph Community Fund to beautify downtown.

Landmark Chevrolet is bringing a variety of brand new Chevys, including trucks, SUVs and sedans, for drivers ages 18 and older to test drive downtown.

The dealership will make a donation to the community fund for every test driver. Test drives start at the parking lot of the United Presbyterian Church at 186 Main Street.

Not only is this a great time to take a no-pressure test-drive, but it’s a fun afternoon, too: enjoy free hot dogs and drinks, and indulge in the Church’s bake sale.

The Welcome Center of the Randolph Municipal Building, located at 72 Main Street, has a

wealth of information on local shops and events, as well as maps of the Amish Trail, which begins in Randolph and takes visitors throughout Cattaraugus County’s Amish communities.

These self-guided driving tours allow visitors to tour at their own pace.

For a truly unforgettable experience, take a guided Amish tour this summer with one of Randolph’s experienced local guides! Guided Amish tours are approximately three hours long and can be tailored to suit visitors’ interests, such as furniture making, baked goods, produce, quilts, handmade toys and more. Contact the RACDC at (716)3589701 ext. 208 to make a tour reservation (please make a reservation at least 48 hours in advance).

As the Amish reserve Sunday for religious and family gatherings, no businesses are open, so be sure to plan your visit for Saturday if you plan to spend your weekend exploring Randolph.

Summer is the perfect time of year to plan a visit to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s Randolph Fish Hatchery, located just two miles east of the village at 10943 Hatchery Road. The Randolph Hatchery is one of just 12 hatcheries in New York State; these hatcheries stock fish in over 1,200 public waters across

It turned out to be a beautiful day for Randolph’s first Veterans’ Appreciation Day! Thank you to all our veterans who served our country to fight for our freedom! We had a great turn-out of veterans who marched, rode on floats, and family members carrying photographs of their veterans who have passed away.

The parade ended at the fire hall, where veterans gathered for lunch prepared by the Boy Scouts! Garry Root recognized all of the veterans who served during each war and conflict, and Jacqueline Phelps spoke on behalf of Congressman Tom Reed to thank the veterans and their families in attendance for their service. The Randolph Area Community Development Corporation, the Randolph Legion, and the Randolph VFW look forward to hosting this event again next year!

the state. The Randolph Hatchery mainly raises brook (aka “brookies”), brown, and rainbow trout, and stocks public waters in Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, and Wyoming counties. Brookies are native to New York State and are the official state fish.

Visitors are welcome to explore the hatchery year ‘round as it is open daily from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. For more information, visitors can call the hatchery at (716) 358-4755.

The hatchery is also famous for the historic discovery of the “Randolph mammoth.”

In 1934, pond excavators at the fish hatchery discovered the skull and both tusks of a Columbian mammoth that roamed the area some 12,000 years ago. These remains, which have been held at the state museum in Albany since their discovery, are now on display at the Cattaraugus County Museum in nearby Machias. Call the museum at (716) 353-8200 to plan your visit!

For more information about Randolph businesses and upcoming events, visit www.EnjoyRandolph.org.

Visitors can also contact the Randolph Area Community Development Corporation at (716) 358-9701 ext. 208 or find Enjoy Randolph on Facebook for up-to-date announcements and event photos.

This summer I’ve done something I haven’t done since circa 1998. Worked. As in a real job. Not a bad run.

It’s been almost shocking how much I’ve enjoyed it.

I show up to the golf course when they tell me to, do my job then go home. No airplanes.

No Ubers. No radio or morning TV to talk about the same thing over and over again. No arguing about what I was supposed to be paid. No waiting up to two months to actually get paid.

And most days I leave with a pocket full of cash. There’s always been something very satisfying about that. Who am I kidding, it’s the free golf.

I started thinking about all the jobs I had before I started working in show business. This is actually the third time I’ve worked at Holiday Valley. The first was in the ski rental shop behind the boot counter. I was boot boy. Then a couple years later I worked in the kitchen making salads. Salad boy.

I spent a winter working for the other resort in town,

HoliMont. I had a much more prestigious position there: Chief Pass Checker. I rode around all winter on a snowmobile making sure all the pass checkers were doing their jobs. Still not sure how I managed to screw that one up.

One summer on college break a couple of buddies and I worked on the county road crew. You know when you see a bunch of guys at the side of the road wearing orange vests leaning on shovels watching one guy actually digging? That was us.

I’ve painted houses, laid bricks, put up siding, done roofing and pounded nails.

Once I accidentally hit myself in the crotch with a hammer.

I’m not what you’d call a “skilled laborer.”

I spent a summer assembling knives at Burrell Cutlery.

I’ve never seen a TV show with a cast of characters more interesting than the ones in that place. If you hired actors to play them, everyone would accuse them of being too over the top.

One of the most fun jobs I’ve ever had was bartending at Madigan’s. I had some of the best times working behind that bar that I will never remember.

I’ve waited tables at The Birdwalk, The Gin Mill and Dina’s. Dina would always say that I was her favorite waiter. I was her only waiter, but it was still nice to hear.

I waited tables at an Olive Garden in Colorado for a few weeks. Singing that birthday

song is one of the worst things that has ever happened to me.

The lyrics are still seared into my brain. Every time I think about it my left eye begins to twitch.

The last time I ever waited tables was at an Italian restaurant in Los Angeles. My last customer? Carrot Top. Seemed like a nice enough guy, but when I pushed out the dessert cart, he asked me, “Is there a movie on this flight?” I calmly replied, “Please excuse me for a moment,” took off my apron and walked out the door.

I worked for a couple different catering companies out there. My first night was at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Walking into the building I had my first official celebrity sighting – Dennis Hopper. Not bad. Another company I worked for would go to people’s homes to cater their private parties. One night we worked at Neil Simon’s house. I snuck into his office and stole one of his pens.

Don’t tell anyone. I served chimichangas and taquitos to Candice Bergen, Jason Alexander and Henry Winkler.

A few years later I got to act in a TV pilot with Henry. My second interaction with him was much cooler.

So what’s next after the golf course? Not sure yet. As long as it doesn’t entail singing a horrible birthday song, I’ll make the best of it.

Town Board Continued from front page

She said a car turned left from Rt. 219 onto Rt. 242 without stopping or, apparently, looking both ways.

She was driving on 242 toward Ellicottville and had to swerve to miss the turning car as well as another vehicle.

She felt that drivers often do not stop at the signal and that something needs to be done to improve safety at the intersection. She suggested perhaps adding signage noting that Rt. 242 cross traffic does not stop.

The board explained that both roads are state roads so the town has no authority to make any changes. However, the town can ask the state to conduct a traffic study. Town Supervisor Matt McAndrew asked Town Engineer Mark Alianello to write a letter to the Department of Transportation and LaCroix said she would write a letter about her experience and observations, which will be attached to Alianello’s correspondence.

In the meantime, Ellicottville’s Police Officer in Charge Don Auge said he would arrange to boost patrols there and ticket vehicles that don’t stop.

Next, Rosie Kelly informed the board about an issue at a National Fuel lot that has a utility building on Rt. 242 near the Village line. Kelly said she has noticed large trucks parking on the property for long periods or overnight. The trucks are not National Fuel vehicles. She believes they are long-haul truckers who just stop there to take a break.

Because this is private property, McAndrew pointed out that the town doesn’t have many options, but he asked Alianello to call National Fuel to come up with some solutions.

Regular Board Business Justin Dineen, building manager of the Ellicottville Town Center, told the board that he has been dissatisfied with a vendor that is contracted to supply paper, cleaning and other supplies for the facility.

While he is giving the company another chance for a month, he asked the board to consider

ending the contract. The board had no objection and gave McAndrew authority to amend or dissolve the contract based on Dineen’s recommendation next month.

Dineen also reported that the auditorium and outdoor patio has been solidly booked for weddings and special events throughout the summer.

A 220-guest wedding is scheduled for later this month.

McAndrew also reported that the village and town water/ sewer management committee, known as the “Four Flushers,” met last week and spent the bulk of the meeting discussing the best way to fill two vacancies in the water department.

Department Head Reports Auge informed the board that a special police officer resigned and that a replacement has been found. The board accepted the resignation and approved the new hire.

McAndrew asked Auge to monitor traffic speeds on Mill Street between Washington and McKinley at a resident’s request.

Highway Superintendent Tom Scharf and Alianello informed the board that two bids had been received for a fuel station structure at the highway barn and that both bids were nearly double what was budgeted. The board rejected both bids and asked that the scope of the project be reconsidered.

Scharf reported that Deputy Highway Superintendent Frank Moore will be retiring effective August 27. A new deputy must be named and a replacement mechanic/Class B driver must be found. Scharf said he will advertise the position opening as soon as possible. The board accepted Moore’s resignation.

The department has been busy with road maintenance and will be chipping and sealing several roads near Holiday Valley next week. The following week (beginning Aug. 29), Simmons Road will be closed to traffic for 3-4 days to allow the department to replace a culvert. Area residents will be informed in writing and signs will be posted to inform travelers.

Engineering Projects Alianello reported that the State Health Department approved the engineering plans to replace Booster Pump #1 and asked the board for permission to go out to bid. The board approved the request and agreed to schedule bid opening for Sept. 16 at 10 a.m.

The Cornell Asset Management Program, a multifaceted computer program that is being used to inventory all Ellicottville roads, is nearing completion. An intern hired to work with Scharf on the project is preparing a final report which will be shared at the September board meeting.

Alianello said he expects the report will be a very valuable tool for maintenance scheduling and budgeting.

Alianello also reported that the town’s two older water tanks were inspected and both are in remarkably good shape.

He said he is very pleased with the results.

Other Business McAndrew reported that the town planner had completed a State Environmental Quality Review of proposed changes to the town’s zoning law and determined that the amendments will not have a negative impact on the environment. With that in hand, the board voted to adopt the zoning amendments.

Board member Steve Crowley, who is heading up efforts for a Dave Golley Memorial, reported that efforts to raise donations toward the memorial are going well. Plans call for laying a brick patio, purchasing a bench, naming a road and more.

Ellicottville-Great Valley Trail board president Ken Hinman (who is also a member of the town board) reported that the dumpster used by the Town Center is being relocated and fenced in the next couple of weeks in time for BOCES students to begin construction of the trailhead structure once school begins in September.

The next meeting of the town board will be held on Wednesday, September 21 at 6 p.m. in the town/village hall.

St. Bonaventure Restores 92-Year-Old Shrine

More than 90 years after its initial construction, the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes at St. Bonaventure University has been restored and rededicated as a place for campus gatherings, education, reflection, and prayer.

Known affectionately as the Grotto, it was hand built during the 1924-25 academic year with cobblestones gathered from across campus by students and workers.

It features a statue of the Virgin Mary and was named for the apparition of Our Lady of Lourdes, which occurred in Lourdes, France, in 1858, the year of St. Bonaventure’s founding. The Grotto has been utilized throughout the decades for Masses, ceremonies and as a place of reflection.

“I remember many times stopping by here as a student, needing inspiration,” said Bill Giniecki, Class of 1959. “The workmanship and the quality of what’s been done here today has exceeded all expectations.

It’s absolutely beautiful.”

The renovations include restoration of the stonework, a new stepped walkway on the north side and ramped entrance for wheel-chair accessibility on

the south side near parking on Bonaventure Road, a statue of St. Francis, birdhouses, builtin seating, night illumination and connections for sound systems. The results allow for more frequent use for religious gatherings, personal reflection, and small class or club gatherings appropriate to the setting.

“A shrine like this is important because it is an overt statement of the institution’s continued deepening commitment to its values and beliefs,” said Andrew Roth, Ph.D., president of the university.

In his welcoming message, Roth noted that five stones, which form a flower in the arch above the statue of the Virgin Mary, were brought from Lourdes in France to St. Bonaventure by Fr. Thomas Plassmann, O.F.M., during his presidency (1920 to 1949).

Phil Winger, associate vice president for facilities, said that strong emphasis was given to historic preservation during the renovation work. The stone terrace seating is crafted from the old steps of Butler Memorial Hall and the stepped walkway is made of stone that

once served as part of the front steps of the University Chapel in Doyle Hall.

Landscape architects and engineers from Derck & Edson Architects, LLP of Litiz, Pa., designed the project, Winger said, with work performed

by Duggan and Duggan General Contractors, Peterson Landscaping and Greg Stayer Electric, Inc. There are three distinct class recognition pieces within the renovated area; one each to honor the classes of 1964, 1965 and 2015, which gave Reunion and Commencement gifts, respectively, to create a more accessible and attractive space.

“In my student days, we used to rake leaves here when it was a very swampy area,” said Dr. Joseph Zampogna, Class of 1959 and a former language arts professor at Bona’s. “Even back then we had dreams that this would one day be a place for students to enjoy. Now it’s come to fruition.”

Located adjacent to the Swan Business Center in the southwest corner of campus, the Grotto is the university’s largest outdoor shrine.

Mansfield Board Continued from front page

said, citing likely increases in employee health insurance, worker’s compensation insurance, highway department materials, and other costs that are out of the town’s control.

At the same time, the board is expecting to see lower revenues from sales taxes, mortgage taxes and other sources.

A bigger challenge, he explained, is the need to address the state’s assessment of the municipality as being fiscally stressed. This designation comes from the fact that the town does not have the recommended 15-20 percent of its budget in a fund balance (essentially a savings account). With a $1.1 million budget, this would mean having $165,000-$220,000 in the bank.

Mansfield currently has only about $10,000 in the fund balance.

The town’s low fund balance is due to a number of factors, most notably the 2012 highway barn fire, but also the fact that the town has kept its effective tax rate low in the hopes that new revenues would have been realized by now as a result of new property construction (and taxpayers) at HoliMont’s WestMont Ridge. That has not come to pass.

Keis said that, while he is waiting for actual 2017 expense estimates to come in, he sketched out a “What

If” scenario for the board that presumed an unchanged total budget (the 2016 budget) with a goal of raising $100,000 for the fund balance.

In order to raise that amount, the tax rate would go from $4.73/thousand of assessed property value to $5.50/ thousand.

For a property owner who does not get any special state exemptions (e.g. STAR or Senior STAR) and owns a home assessed at $100,000, this would mean a total 2017 tax increase of $77.

While that may not seem like a huge pill to take for most, it represents a 12 percent tax increase, which the board said would not be acceptable.

Keis agreed, but pointed out that even a large percentage increase on a small amount (the current tax rate) doesn’t total a lot of revenue.

Keis also noted that Mansfield’s tax rate is one of the lowest in the county (most are more than double Mansfield’s rate) and has been for a dozen or more years.

The board agreed that the fund balance issue must be addressed for the sake of the future, but also agreed that a 12 percent increase is out of the question. Board members said they thought Keis should draft a budget that contributes a smaller amount to the fund balance in 2017 and continue

growing it over the next several years.

“It’s important that we get to a debt-free situation with the budget,” said Keis. “We want to get to a point where we can pay cash for new equipment instead of having loans.”

He also added that the town has kept rates down for many years, but “things are changing and we’ve been too close to the wire every year.”

Keis promised to have a preliminary budget for the board’s review by the September meeting.

Before the board can decide whether or not to raise the tax rate, it must pass a local law allowing it to override the tax levy limit for fiscal year 2017.

This does not require it to override the tax levy; it only gives the town that option. A public hearing on the matter will be held at the next regular town board meeting At the same meeting, another public hearing will be held to allow public comment on the new Senior Citizen Tax Exemption which adds two income levels and exemption percentages to the existing County program.

Both hearings will be held at the start of the Monday, Sept. 19 board meeting, which begins at 7 p.m. in the Eddyville town hall.

‘Rise the Dark’ by Michael Koryta Rise the dark. These were the last words written in Lauren Novak’s notebook before she was murdered in a strange Florida village.

They’ve never meant anything to the police or to her husband, investigator Markus Novak. Now the man he believes killed her is out of prison.

In Red Lodge, Montana, a senseless act of vandalism shuts the lights off in the town where Sabrina Baldwin is still trying to adjust to a new home and mourning the loss of her brother, who was a high voltage linesman just like her husband, Jay. As the spring’s final snowstorm calls Jay deeper into the mountains, chasing the destruction on the electrical grid, Sabrina is abducted by Garland Webb, the man Markus Novak believes killed his wife. Drawing them all together is a messianic villain who understands that you can never outpace your past. You can only rise against the future.

This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. Don’t forget, you can access over 14,400 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!

Gabler Announces Candidacy for Catt Co. Judge Olean and Salamanca City Court Judge William J. Gabler, Sr., announced…that he is a candidate for the office of Cattaraugus County Judge that will be filled this fall due to the mandatory retirement of Judge Michael L. Nenno at the end of this year. Judge Gabler has been endorsed by the Conservative and Democratic Parties.

Judge Gabler retired from his position as Cattaraugus County Family Court Support Magistrate at the end of 2013, where he served for 28 years.

He has continued to serve as the Salamanca City Court Judge, a position he has held for the past 25 years; and, was appointed to the part-time Judge position in the Olean City Court in January after serving in that Court the past year on assignment from his post as Salamanca City Court Judge filling the void left by Judge William H. Mountain’s retirement.

In addition, he represents the Salamanca Industrial Development Agency and the Allegany County Department of Social Services’ Support Collection Unit.

In making the announcement, Judge Gabler said, “This decision comes after a great deal of thought, soul searching and prayer.

My decision was made more difficult by the political challenge to the designating petitions and the removal of my name from the Democratic line on this year’s ballot. But, I believe it is more important for the voters of Cattaraugus County to have the opportunity to elect their next County Judge rather than our Judge being selected by a handful of political operatives in Little Valley. The nature of the work done by our County Courts is serious and sensitive and demands a judge with tested judicial experience. Just this year our County Court has heard a murder trial and other serious felony cases and our Family Court deals on a daily basis with intimate and emotional issues such as the custody and visitation of children, abuse and neglect of children and juvenile delinquency.

Our County Courts are no place for on-thejob training.”

He added, “I am 64 years old. I have been on the bench,

hearing and deciding tens of thousands of cases in the New York State Family Court, Salamanca City Court and Olean City Court for nearly 31 years – essentially half of my life. Over those three decades I have been appointed, reappointed or elected 16 times.

Sixteen times my record has been thoroughly vetted, approved and I have been continued in office – and my appointments have been made by Republican and Democratic administrations alike. I respectfully submit this stands as a testament to the quality of my judicial work, my work ethic and my judicial temperament. The voters of Cattaraugus County will not have to guess at the kind of County Judge I will be, they have only to look at my long judicial record for the answer.”

In keeping with his record of non-partisanship and reflecting his history of bi-partisan support, Judge Gabler will be reaching out for support from voters in all political parties and independents alike.

The Zoar Valley Eagles travel baseball organization in Gowanda will be holding tryouts for its 2017 baseball team at the 12U level on August 28 & 29. This is a team for talented baseball players who will be age 12 and under as of April 30, 2017. There is a substantial cost associated with the program, and a strong commitment is required including multiple weekly practices, participation in multiple leagues, and multiple weekend tournaments during the baseball season. For more information please call Jim at 716-818-8860.

Wednesday, June 8, was a very tough day for the community of Ellicottville as we lost the “Voice of Ellicottville,” Robert McCarthy.
