Move Over Law expands to firefighters, ambulance workers Impact of changes felt on the local level
springville By Max Borsuk
A recent change in the New York State Move Over Law will now expand to make the roads safer for volunteer firefighters and ambulance workers. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed the amendments to the law on July 21, which now requires drivers to slow down and change lanes for flashing blue or green lights operated by volunteer firefighters and ambulance workers responding to roadside emergencies in their personal vehicles. The previous law only applied to drivers approaching stopped police, emergency or hazard vehicles with flashing red, white or amber lights. “Our first responders risk their lives day in and day out, often putting their own safety and wellbeing in jeopardy, in order to protect their communities and their fellow New Yorkers,” Cuomo said in a press release. “This new law will help ensure that first responders are protected from avoidable hazards when responding to a roadside emergency.” Since its adoption, the changes to the Move Over Law have been received positively from volunteer firefighters and ambulance workers, knowing that it will add an extra layer of safety to their
jobs. “We are always concerned about the safety of our workers … the public needs to know about the dangers of speeding by and creating a level of space is very important,” Don Trzepacz, director of medical operations for Mercy EMS, said. “People are usually cognizant of what’s happening. With more distractions on the road, it helps protect those in the line of duty.” Chief of the Springville Volunteer Fire Department Dennis Dains said that he is happy to see this legislation passed and happy to see added safety measures for emergency workers, but is worried about some of the confusion that it could cause at the start. “It’s a good resolution to go along with the other Move Over Laws in effect, and [I’m] happy to see government take our safety into consideration,” Dains said. “People need to pay attention and notice us. Sometimes people see the blue lights and sometimes panic. There is a learning curve on both sides of the fence. I’m happy to see the legislation and want to see where it could go in a few months to a year.” Drivers who violate the law can face a fine up to $275 and three points on their license.

Town of Sardinia Board members hear reports by Carole Jones The Sardinia Senior Citizens are planning a special outing to the Oil Creek and Titusville Railroad on Saturday, Sept. 24. The group will travel by bus to the circa 1930 tourist railroad that runs from Titusville to Rynd Farm north of Oil City, Pa . They will enjoy a three-hour train trip and a lunch. Councilman Doug Morrell, liaison to the group, reported at the Thursday, July 14 meeting of the Sardinia Town Board that the total cost of the trip would be $89 per person, before any Town assistance. Trip organizer Sandy Fliss said they like to keep the price down to $25 each, and try to get 40 people to attend, which leaves a gap of a little more than $2,500 for the Town to cover. Board members agreed to give the club a maximum of $3,400 toward the trip. Senior citizens in Sardinia or Chaffee are invited to attend by calling Fliss at 496-5131. Board members learned the Music in the Park summer concert series got off to a good start when Councilman Len Hochadel reported that over 80 people attended the first performance. “It was hot, but we had a great turnout,” Hochadel said. “The Historical Society sold refreshments and they did quite well — they even ran out of hot dogs.” Hochadel invited everyone to the free series of concerts, Wednesday evenings through Aug. 17, 6 to 8 p.m. at Veterans Park on Genesee Road.

Welcome Springville Herald Dear Editor, I would like to take a moment to welcome you to our town. When the Springville Journal announced that they would be closing their doors, my family and I were shocked and disappointed as we look forward to the paper every week. A local, small town newspaper is a way that many people, including myself, keep up to date on upcoming events, local government happenings,etc. and is also
a way for businesses and government to keep the public informed of such. We also look forward to following all of our school and little league sports teams, along with those of our surrounding small town schools. We were thrilled when the announcement came out that the Arcade Herald would be expanding to Springville, as it has been a longtime valued and quality newspaper for the Arcade area. We look forward to reading the new Springville Herald. Thank you for thinking us. Michelle Strub and Family, Springville

Veterans One-stop Center receives Community Integration grant Veterans One-stop Center of WNY announced that it has received a $375,000 grant from America’s Warrior Partnership Community Integration, a non-profit organization whose purpose is to identify and support community-level agencies that provide holistic services to veterans. The grant provides mentoring and financial support. This funding will enable the Veterans One-stop Center of WNY to continue to expand its efforts to connect with and know service members, regardless of service era or wounded status, in Erie, Niagara, Genesee and Wyoming counties, with the ultimate goal of standing ready to provide veterans with individualized supports and connections with agencies and resources on a local, regional and national level.
This is the second year the organization has received the grant. “Last year, we leveraged community integration funding into the opening of two new satellite offices in Lockport and Batavia, increasing access for veterans across Western New York,” said Roger L. Woodworth, president and CEO of the Veterans One-stop Center of WNY. “This year, we look forward to achieving operational excellence within our existing footprint and continuing to provide empowerment to the over 120,000 veterans who call Western New York home.” The Veterans One-stop Center of WNY has been in operation since April 2013, and has connected nearly 4,600 veterans, active service members and immediate family members with a suite of supportive services with the goal of
empowering economic success, housing stability, and emotional health and well-being. With a network of local, regional and national-level partnerships available, the One-stop Center is able to provide access to holistic care and support to Veterans from across the region. “The Community Integration grant allows us to extend the successful model we developed in Augusta, Georgia to other communities,” said Cheree Tham, director of AWP Community Integration. “This model is based on treating veterans holistically and ensuring their successful transition back into civilian life.” Community Integration is a national award program of America’s Warrior Partnership, made possible by Wounded Warrior Project funding.

Sex offenders now prohibited from playing Pokémon GO The New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision has been directed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo to restrict sex offenders under community supervision from using Pokémon GO and similar games. In an effort to safeguard New York’s children, the governor also sent a letter to software developer Niantic, Inc. requesting its assistance in prohibiting dangerous sexual predators from playing Pokémon GO. At the Governor’s direction, DOCCS has imposed a new condition of parole for sex offenders under community supervision that will prohibit them from downloading, accessing or otherwise engaging in any Internetenabled gaming activities, including Pokémon GO. The directive will apply to nearly 3,000 Level 1, 2 and 3 sex offenders currently on parole. The Department of Criminal Justice Services will addition-
ally provide guidance to county probation offices recommending the adoption of this policy. Cuomo has also directed DCJS to reach out to Niantic, Inc. to provide the most up-to-date information of offenders within the Sex Offender Registry. DCJS will also contact Apple and Google to inform them of these public safety concerns and work with them to enhance user safety. Software developers that operate mobile games like Pokémon GO should be entitled to the same information that is regularly shared with companies like Facebook, Apple and Microsoft, New York says. These actions were spurred by a recent report by Senators Jeffrey D. Klein and Diane Savino demonstrating that children playing this popular augmented reality game have unknowingly been steered to locations in close proximity to, or even at, sex offender residences.
Sex offenders in New York will no longer be allowed to play Pokémon GO and similar games as a safeguard for the state’s children. A recent report found that children playing the game have unknowingly been steered to locations in close proximity to or at the residences of sex offenders. Additionally, a feature of the game, a “lure” can be purchased to intentionally encourage traffic to
a particular location, also appears to have the potential to be abused by predators. As attorney general in 2008, Cuomo introduced the Electronic Security and Targeting of Online Predators Act to protect New York’s children from online predators. The legislation mandates that sex offenders register and keep up-to-date all current email accounts, screen names and any other internet identifiers with the State Division of Criminal Justice Services. This list is then given to more than two-dozen social networking companies on a weekly basis and those sites use it to purge offenders from their membership rosters. Since enacted, DCJS has sent approximately 52,000 records related to 18,544 New York state registered sex offenders of all risk levels to 40 technology companies each week to remove them from social network sites.
Fall academy to bring citizens closer to their deputy The Erie County Sheriff’s Office is now accepting applications for the 2016 Fall Citizens’ Academy, according to Erie County Sheriff Timothy B. Howard. The Erie County Sheriff’s Office Citizens’ Academy has run three consecutive full academies and believes the 2016 Fall Citizens’ Academy to fill up as well. “I always thought this program was great and allowed the citizens of Erie County to get an upclose and personal look at the men and women of the sheriff’s office, but with recent events in our country, I believe the Citizens’ Academy is more
important because the academy can help people understand what a Deputy goes through each day,” Howard stated. “That understanding can go a long way to building trust within the community and demonstrate that law enforcement officers are there to help the community.” Citizens’ Academy applicants must be at least 21-years-old and be a resident of Erie County. Applications are currently being accepted with a deadline of Aug. 31. The fall session of the ECSO Citizens’ Academy begins Sept. 14, and last nine weeks. Participants
will tour both jail facilities, visit the firing range, go on a ride-along with the Marine Unit and hear from the various unit commanders within the Erie County Sheriff’s Office. The academy will end with a graduation dinner where participants will receive a certificate from the Sheriff and have an opportunity to join the Citizens’ Academy Alumni group. Applications for the fall session can be downloaded at www2.erie.gov/ sheriff. The academy is limited to 30 participants and all applicants must submit to a background check.

Legislature questions DPW on plans for remaining summer roadwork Erie County Legislature Chairman John Mills and Legislator Edward Rath III are once again asking the Department of Public Works to provide an update on its road work plans for this summer and how it plans to spend an influx of state funding. The duo sponsored a resolution requesting that the DPW release a complete report detailing its plan to spend $2 million allocated from the PAVE NY fund. The resolution, which was approved unanimously on July 14, requested the report be submitted by July 26, however that deadline was missed. “We were all very pleased to learn at the end of June
that Erie County was receiving an additional $2 million for paving work this summer. After New York State announced that the money was being allocated through PAVE NY, I immediately requested an update on which roads could now be paved this year that hadn’t been previously scheduled. On July 14, the Legislature followed up with a resolution and we still haven’t been given any information,” Mills said. “My office receives calls daily about road concerns and I can name numerous roadways throughout Erie County that would benefit from this funding. The Legislature and the
residents have a right to know how this $2 million is being spent and what roads are being repaired and when.” Rath, chairman of the economic development committee, added that it has been frustrating trying to get information from DPW this year following the County Executive’s decision to require that all requests for road work updates go through his office first. “There has been a notable delay in getting answers from the DPW engineers due to the County Executive’s ‘red tape requirement’ and the residents are suffering. We need to work together to quickly disseminate information to residents about when roadwork is starting and what detours
to expect. In addition, residents should always be kept well-informed on the DPW’s maintenance schedule. While the $2 million from PAVE NY isn’t going to solve all our problems, it is certainly going to help and we want to know exactly which roads are being paved. Residents have many concerns when it comes to deteriorating roadways and they deserve complete updates in a timely manner,” Rath said. Mills and Rath sent a follow up letter to DPW Commissioner John Loffredo again requesting a complete report detailing how PAVE NY funds are being spent, along with any updates on the county’s 2016 road projects.

Old-fashioned grange style get together to discuss Northern Access Pipeline Information submitted An old-fashioned grange style get together will take place from 2-4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 6, at the Olmsted Camp, located at 12820 Benton Road in Sardinia to discuss the National Fuel Northern Access Pipeline. The proposed Western New York 96-mile National Fuel Northern Access Pipeline will tear up 180 streams, 270 wetlands and seven ponds as it passes through dairy country in Cattaraugus, Allegany, Wyoming and Erie Counties. The compressed gas pipeline then crosses the Niagara
River for export to Canada. Concerns that will be discussed are: Stray voltage from pipelines is documented as dangerous to wildlife and livestock; Damage to our water table can interfere with drinking water wells, irrigation for farms, flow of trout streams, creeks and rivers, and lake levels; Compressed soil- heavy vehicles on pipeline access farm fields can pack soil down 30 inches, leaving it un-tillable for up to 10 years. Farmers, fishermen, hunters, hikers, rafters, boaters and homeown-
ers in our area need information about the pipeline, so experts have been invited to speak at this event in Sardinia. Wyoming, Erie, and Cattaraugus Communities Act on the Pipeline (WECAP), the Pendleton Action Team and the Sierra Club Niagara Group are teaming up with local communities, farmers, conservationists and sportsmen to sponsor this informational get together. Call WECAP at 716-4967561 or email Loprea@ earthlink.net for more information.
Town of Sardinia
Work session set to consider special use permit requests by Carole Jones Sardinia Town Board members have yet to make a decision regarding a request by Kenneth and Tammy Lindquist for a special use permit to establish a hobby/breeding dog kennel at their property on Route 39. Opinions were heard at a public hearing June 9, and board members decided to take advantage of the 62-day period they are granted before an answer must be given. At a board meeting on July 14 a work session was slated for Thursday,
Aug. 4, at which time a formal answer for this request will be written, and requests for additional special use permits will be heard. Mary and Daniel Detor would like to have a dog kennel at their Genesee Road home to temporarily board show dogs, and Scott Beicke is asking to use his Olean Road property as a building trade contractor’s office and storage yard. Anyone wishing to comment on either request may do so that evening, or may submit a comment in writing to
PO Box 219, Sardinia NY 14134. That same evening, board members will meet with the Town Planning Board to discuss solar issues that may face residents and large landowners. Town Attorney David DiMatteo has suggested board members set a moratorium to give them time to look at logical plan for the different areas in the Town. The work session Aug. 4 is open to the public and will begin at 6:10 p.m.

Thanks for the Warm Welcome! When we made the announcement last week that there would be a Springville Herald we have been overwhelmed by the warm welcome...even before we published an issue! Now we will work hard to earn your trust and continuing support.
Naturally you have questions Who are we?
The Springville Herald joins five other weekly newspapers in the area, each with a unique “personality” for the community it serves. We are Neighbor-toNeighbor News, a family-owned business from East Aurora. Our newspapers have a long history of publishing. The East Aurora Advertiser was founded in 1872 and has published continuously since. The closest “sister” newspaper to Springville, the Arcade Herald, just celebrated its 125th anniversary.
Who will staff the Herald?
We’re adding to that staff right now, and we’re pleased to announce our first “new hire” is someone many of you know. Max Borsuk, who lives in Wales, has joined our organization to lead the news coverage in Springville. As a former Springville Journal Reporter Max knows the community and has already begun working in Springville for the Herald. The news team includes Managing Editor Casey Dunlap of Arcade and Reporter Laney Hill of Holland, along with Sports Reporter Mike Tanner of Arcade. Several freelancers round out the coverage team. Some of you probably know Tammy Hobson and Cyndi Gradl who are in charge of advertising for several of our newspapers and are regularly in Springville. Rounding out the staff is Dawn Jones, circulation manager, and former Colden and Springville resident and SGI graduate, Crissi Lukowski who handles graphic arts.
Where do I send news and advertisements for the Springville Herald?
If I haven’t been a subscriber how do I start?
For news, community events and legal notices you can email Managing Editor Casey Dunlap at springvillenews@roadrunner.com or Max Borsuk at springvillereporter@roadrunner.com. For sales, email Tammy Hobson at springvilleads@roadrunner.com. Or you can mail or drop off to our Arcade Herald Office at 223 Main Street, Arcade, NY 14009.
We’re just getting the mail subscription programs organized for the Springville Herald, so it will be a few weeks before we begin mail delivery. You can send us a note, call us at 496-5013, or e-mail springvillesubscriptions@roadrunner.com with your name and address and we’ll start a subscription just as soon as we can. Then we’ll send you a bill for $42 for the year. There will be no obligation to continue. If we don’t hear from you, we’ll assume you’ve changed your mind and we’ll stop mailing.
How do I subscribe, and what about my Springville Journal subscription?
Where can I pick up a copy?
In reverse order, unfortunately there’s nothing we can do directly about anything paid to the former publisher of the Journal. However, we feel strongly as a newspaper organization that you shouldn’t be left high and dry. So, we will honor paid subscriptions to the Journal. If you have a recent issue of the Journal, cut out the mailing information and send it to Springville Herald Subscriptions, 223 Main Street, Arcade, NY 14009. We’ll honor current subscriptions. If you weren’t a current subscriber, see below.
Attention Springville Journal Subscribers. We’ll honor Springville Journal subscriptions. Cut out the mailing information from a recent Journal and send it to us.
We’re setting newsstand locations around town now. We’ll publish locations as we establish them. You can check on Facebook at myspringvillenews, where we will post new locations.For a week or two you’ll see free sample copies. After we’ve introduced ourselves, the cost will be $1 a week.
Why do you charge for your newspaper?
We often are asked that about our newspapers in various communities we serve. Simply, we think it makes for better newspapers. While the revenue from subscriptions and store sales is a fairly small part of what it takes to run a newspaper, it does mean we can run more news and it also means that we can continue to serve, even when times are tough and ads are hard to come by. Frankly, it’s also better for our advertising customers. Paid publications are read, and that means ad messages reach customers. It’s one reason why we are publishing today when many newspapers are not.

Legislator John Mills presents a donation to North Collins Library Director Kimberly Nobles for $1,285. The funds were raised at Legislator Mills’ annual hot dog roast fundraiser.
Mills fundraiser sets record at North Collins library A new record was set at the recent hot dog roast fundraiser held at the North Collins library by Erie County Legislator John Mills, who announced the total at a presentation July 25 at the library. “I am so proud of the partnerships I have formed with the libraries in my district over the years. Together, we created a fundraising event that the community truly gets behind and supports. Thank you to everyone
who supported North Collins ... new records were set and the branches will greatly benefit from these donations,” said Mills. North Collins, which held its fundraiser on June 28, raised $1,285, exceeding its previous record by more than 15 percent. In four years, this event has raised $5,231 for the library branch. “We are just so grateful that Legislator Mills is such an advocate and supporter of our libraries,” North Collins Library
Director Kimberly Nobles, who noted that the Library Board will meet in August to decide on how to utilize the funding, adding the library is planning technology upgrades. The hot dog roast fundraisers have raised more than $63,000 for the libraries in Mills’ district. For information on the hot dog roast fundraisers or to speak with Mills, contact his legislative office at 858-8850 or email john. mills@erie.gov.
New ventilation regulations will make salons safe for employees and consumers New ventilation requirements to protect workers and customers in nail salons statewide will go into effect this October, according Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s office. Nail salon ventilation systems must meet the standard set by the 2015 International Mechanical Code, which contains specific ventilation requirements for nail salons and any other businesses that provide nail services, such as hair salons. These requirements include supplying fresh outdoor air sufficient to remove all chemicals, vapors, fumes, dust and other air contaminants from the salon and exhaust them safely to the outdoors. The ventilation systems must assure that no exhaust air will be recirculated into
the salon or into any other space in the building where the business is operating. The code also requires specific exhaust systems at all manicure and pedicure work stations. “Nail salon workers have been grossly exploited and exposed to dangerous chemicals with little or no protection,” Governor Cuomo said. “These new regulations will make nail salons in New York the safest for employees and consumers anywhere, and are yet another example of our administration’s commitment to protecting vulnerable employees and making workplaces across the state safer.” As of Oct. 3 of this year, ventilation systems in new nail salons will be required to meet these standards,
which were adopted earlier this year as the basic standard for buildings in New York State. The code is the most widely used mechanical code in the United States and is also used as the basis for the mechanical codes of several other countries. Salons licensed after Oct. 3, will have an additional five years to comply with the code. By Oct. 3, 2021, all salons will be required to have ventilation systems that meet the new standard. New ventilation regulations are supported by a report produced by the Department of Health, which found that there are potentially harmful chemicals in nail products that can cause short term and long term health consequences for workers.
Governor Cuomo signs legislation to exempt sales and use taxes on feminine hygiene products Legislation that eliminates sales tax on feminine hygiene products was recently signed by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo. The bill, A.7555-A/S.7838, exempts these products from local and State sales tax. “This is a regressive tax on essential products that women have had to pay for far too long and lifting it is a matter of social and economic justice,” Governor Cuomo said. “I commend Assemblywoman Rosenthal and Senator Serino on their strong advocacy and for hard work in passing
this important legislation.” Feminine hygiene products have been taxable since the state sales tax was first instituted in 1965, even as a wide variety of other goods, such as dietary and family planning products have been exempt. New York is one of the first states to join the movement to exempt feminine hygiene products from sales tax, which is expected to save women purchasing tampons, and other similar products, an estimated $10 million a year.

Thursday, August 4, 2016
Joshua Ball, a center/ defensive tackle, and Patrick Hannon, an offensive lineman/defensive tackle, from Springville-Griffith Institute were selected to represent the Dutch Devils in the 41st Kensington Lions AllStar Football Game that was played at the new Clint Small Stadium on the campus of Tonawanda High School on July 29. The game matched the graduated senior North All-Stars against their South All-Stars counterparts. The North rallied to beat the South, 29-26, in a thriller for the North’s third win in a row in the Classic. The players were picked from Chautauqua County, Niagara-Orleans, the ECIC, City of Buffalo, and Monsignor Martin Catho-
lic League. (Pioneer and Ellicottville-Ten Broeck Academy of Franklinville play in the Big 30 All-Star Game in Bradford, Pennsylvania along with the other Cattaraugus Coun-
ty schools). The game honored the memory of Coach Gene Zinni. Coach Zinni played high school football at Tonawanda and collegiate football at UB. He helped get the Kensington Lions All-Star game started with Mike Dickerson and the late Harry Chambers. As a coach, he coached on the college level at Buffalo State (two stints) and UB, plus at Sweet Home High School and for the Buffa-
lo Destroyers who played in the Arena Football League. Zinni, 79, died of injuries in February from an automobile accident in January of 2016. Proceeds from the game went to Kids Escaping Drugs and other charities. AJ Perlino and EJ Staniszewski, who played football for East Aurora/Holland in 2015, also played in the game. Perlino and Staniszewski are both Holland graduates who played football for the Dutch Devils. Perlino was selected as a tight end/defensive end and Staniszewski was selected as a running back/ linebacker. Perlino and Staniszewski were the only selections from the Dutch Devils for the 2016 Classic.
Wilson performs at Fellowship Hill It was a perfect night for a concert on July 29 at the Fellowship Hill Retreat Center. The concert featured Springville native Chris Wil-
son, who gained fame for his vocally driven song writing and live performances, and an intermission performance by Hintz of Thunder.
Proceeds from Friday night’s event benefited the outreach efforts of Fellowship Hill and the Barn Project.
The play opens with the Street Singer, Han Taub, singing the Ballad of Mack the Knife.
