Town Board Receives Audit Results
Local Tractors Hit the Pits for Summer Pulls By Elizabeth Riggs
Start your engines! ‘Tis the season for tractor pulls! Brace yourselves — it’s about to get loud all throughout Western New York as the areas mightiest machines all vie for pride and prizes during the various truck and tractor pulls to enjoy in the area this season. Tractor and truck pulling, also known as power pulling, is considered the world’s most powerful motorsport. The idea of pulling as a sport began prior to the invention of the tractor, when farmers would make friendly competitions on the strength of their horse teams, competing to determine whose was most powerful by pulling large loads for certain distances.
Upcoming Events By Derek M. Otto
Tractors and motorvehicles entered the picture in the 1920s, and tractor pulling gained popularity in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. Today the sport of tractor pulling requires modified tractors to pull a heavy sled along a 35 foot wide, 330 foot
long track. The winner is the tractor that pulls the sled the farthest. For East Concord, the local Truck & Tractor is one of the area’s only claims to fame, as they host an annual tractor pull this Saturday, July 22 at 4 p.m. See Tractor Pulls page 6

By providing top notch entertainment at affordable prices the events have grown to be an annual staple in many folks summer list of favorite things to do.
Letter from the Editor
Summer is my favorite time of year. When I was a kid, it was about staying up late, sleeping in late and filling the days with the types of activities we never had time for during the school year. These days, as a parent, I love giving my kids the same kind of experience. There are so many local places we only seem to have time to visit in the summer months, and also special events that only happen this time of year: the county fairs, the local festivals, and all the things that help make Springville and WNY so great. Every week, we feature so many different things to do with or without kids. Be sure to give it the whole paper a read so you don’t miss out on anything— if you do, you might have to wait an entire year to get another chance! - Alicia Dziak, Editor, Springville Times and Ellicottville Times

Ice Cream Month Continued from front page
serve chocolate/vanilla twist cone with sprinkles, the one where you get your first “real” job as a teenager and learn to dislike making those same large twist cones with sprinkles knowing if you don’t get a solid base started on the cone, the ice cream will fall right into the big batch of sprinkles! And this might be why if you see me around town eating ice cream, it’s always in a bowl. Live and learn. There’s no shortage of nostalgic local options around Springville including the recently opened Springville Dairy located at 84 East Main Street. In addition to so many tasty treats, they offer several gluten-free menu items to choose from. Gather around one of their many picnic tables and share some ice cream with your neighbors. Less than a half mile up Main Street from the Springville Dairy in either direction you can also find frozen custard at Cozy Corner, at 690 East Main Street (on the corner of Route 240) and good old-fashioned hard ice cream at Kiril’s Restaurant, at 248 West Main Street. If fro-yo is more your style, Springville has that covered too with Cindy Lou’s Frozen Yogurt located at 231 South Cascade Drive, Springville. Of course, while driving along Cascade, you can always stop at Burger King, McDonalds, Dunkin Donuts or Tim Horton’s for a sweet summer frozen treat. Traveling a wee bit out of the Springville area, you can discover more custard at Addie’s, located at 12231 Route 16 in Yorkshire; the Lime Lake Snack Bar, happily serving up Perry’s Ice Cream located at 3197 Elton Road in Delevan and while stopping to pick up your garden goodies, make sure to get some ice
cream at Jake’s Greenhouse & Country Store, located 11904 Route 240 East Concord. Heading to the Southtowns requires a stop at Nick Charlap’s Ice Cream, located at 7264 Boston State Road, Hamburg ; 2 Scoops Ice Cream located at 4626 Camp Road, Hamburg or the Little Red Caboose in East Aurora at 79 Elm Street. If you find yourself in the city of Buffalo, you simply must check out the new location of Lake Effect Artisan Ice Cream located at 1900 Hertel Avenue and the newest restaurant concept from Lloyd Taco Factory, which has nothing to do with tacos and everything to do with ice cream, Churn located at 1501 Hertel Avenue, Buffalo. And last but not least, if you’re the giving back kind of ice cream connoisseur, you will want to check out the Yelp Ice Cream Adventure which takes place until the end of July. The following ice cream venues around WNY are offering their very own unique $5 Yelp Special with $1 of every purchase donated to Mercy Flight of WNY. Custard Corner - 211 Porter Avenue, Buffalo Jerk’s Soda Fountain & Ice Cream - 523 Main Street, Buffalo Lake Effect Ice Cream -79 Canal Street, Lockport & 1900 Hertel Avenue, Buffalo Hertel Avenue Poutine & Cream - 1488 Hertel Avenue Sweet Jenny’s Ice Cream - 56 East Spring Street, Williamsville Uncle G’s Ice Cream - 7030 Washington Street, Lockport Step out of your comfort zone, grab a cone at a new ice cream spot some time this summer and share your pictures with us on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ springvilletimes.

Allegany Rocks the Park July 21
Picture the scene: a beautiful summer evening in Allegany State Park, great live music -and you smack in the middle of it! It can all be yours to enjoy at Allegany State Park’s 6th annual Rock the Park! This year’s event takes place on July 21 at the Quaker Beach area. The day kicks off at 3 p.m. with a local vendor showcase. Various merchants and organizations will be on hand to familiarize park patrons and local residents with the many great things that are available to them in the surrounding area. At 5 p.m., Park Naturalists will host an “Ask the Naturalist” program that will feature several interactive nature displays. At 6 p.m., it’s time to “Rock the Park” with opening act and Allegany’s own Artist in Residence, Jess Chizuk. Jess, an award-winning songwriter, has her musical roots firmly divided between both old folk tunes and new indie music, and the result of this combination is her truly captivating writing. It has been garnering the
attention of audiences in her hometown of Buffalo, New York and beyond. Drawing on life experiences, honest stories, and the city she calls home, her music is soulful and truly genuine. She will be followed by headliners Playing with Monsters. The band got its start in November of 2014.It was an idea that blossomed from Lead Singer Paul Justinger (Flipside) and Rob Baker (Metal101). The idea was simple— create a band that allows all members
to play what they always wanted to, whether they like the song or just the challenge of the song. Since that time the idea has taken off and the group continues to grow in popularity including playing multiple music festivals and opening for national artists like Scott Stapp of Creed!

She anticipated that the town’s liability to the pension fund would be reduced based on the stock market performance since March 2016. In addition, Landers was asked to address concerns over the town’s cyber security. Krezmein asked, “What was vulnerability of the town?” to which Landers replied that if the town is connected to the internet, it is at risk. She said that, “payroll accounts, Social Security numbers and online banking are all at risk with phishing emails.” She furthered this by noting that her firm performs cybersecurity assessments. Bill Snyder asked if the reserve funds of the accounts were healthy. Landers responded, “That there were no red flags.” The standards for accounting practices had not changed in the last few years. Krezmein asked the board to accept the auditing results for the fiscal year 2016. The meeting went into regular session with the acceptance of previous minutes and then into public comment. During public comment, Mary Jane Miess expressed that she was happy that the Senior Lunch Program has moved to a five day program, as it was in the fire hall. Her concern was that seniors may not have the information to contact the senior center and take advantage of the meal offerings. With that said, she furthered her advocacy for a full-time director at the senior center.

Norma Lightcap spoke next reporting that Scene Garden Walk was a success with over 27 gardens participating and more than 140 people receiving programs. She thanked Waterman’s Greenhouse for their financial support and the donation of five floral baskets that were raffled off. George Donheiser asked the board why the supervisor submitted so many reports at once. On the meeting agenda regularly, each department submits a report, including the supervisor. On this meeting’s agenda, there were several, January through April, from the supervisor. Krezmein replied that he is submitting them quarterly and that Eppolito was the first he knew that submitted reports. Concord Highway Superintendent Dennis Dains reported that the “wet, damp summer” has held some work back, but they are making progress on chipping and oiling of roads. He noted that they were successful in helping the Village of Springville and the Town of Sardinia in their chipping as well. The cooperation of the neighboring towns has been essential in getting this valuable work done this summer. He informed the board that culvert work on Davis Hill Road, Spaulding Road and Manchester Road has begun and the roads will be closed while work is being done. Lightcap asked who was responsible for the mowing of the Corner of Trevett and Concord Roads. “Whoever it is doing a poor job of it,” she said Her concern was that you could not see deer or other wildlife sitting along the road.
Dains responded that the Erie County is responsible for the mowing on those roads and that she should contact them. The town then moved to pass a resolution supporting the Regional Niagara River and Lake Erie Watershed Management Plan Phase 3. The resolution states that the “entire town board strongly supports Erie County’s application on behalf of the Lake Erie Protection Alliance and the Town of Concord for the Niagara River Lake Erie Regional Watershed Management Plan Phase 3 since these monies will provide for stream condition and water quality monitoring in the Cattaraugus Creek watersheds and up to six additional watersheds.” The board then moved to hire Duane Boberg as a licensed technician Class C for the Kissing Bridge Water District. The technician works one to two hours a week. Boberg works for the village and was the only applicant to reside in the Town of Concord. The town clerk read a note from one of our residents praising Bill, the town van driver, for getting her to her appointments on time. In councilmen notes, Bill Snyder notified the board that Robin Sion will serve on the Comprehensive Plan Board. Ken Zittle added that he was surprised at the turnout of the Plan Meeting in June, and that there was a lot of input from residents. Krezmein also noted that the July Fourth fireworks were well attended.

Bertrand Chaffee Hospital received word from New York State and the Department of Health that our application for funding through the Statewide Healthcare Facility Transformation Program was approved. Additional information will follow, but we want to extend a sincere thanks to area legislators who have been supportive of our application: NYS Senator Patrick Gallivan, NYS Assemblyman David Dipietro, NYS Senator Catharine Young and Cattaraugus County Legislator Richard Helmich. Our deepest thanks, too, to Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Department of Health for investing state funds in our facility and supporting the future of local healthcare in our rural region. Our application outlined an $11.3 million investment in equipment, technology and site development over a five-year period. Our projects will improve healthcare access to primary care and specialty services, upgrade imaging and technology infrastructure, and preserve jobs and health services for residents in southern Erie, northern Cattaraugus and Wyoming Counties.
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced $44.6 million to support eight projects that will protect and transform Western New York’s health care system. As part of the $491 million Statewide Health Care Facility Transformation Program, this funding will improve patient care through the development of highquality medical facilities and programs serving the inpatient, primary care, mental health, substance use disorder and long-term care needs of communities throughout New York State. “Now, more than ever, we need to protect health care in New York and ensure the system in place is meeting the needs of current and future generations of New Yorkers,” Governor Cuomo said. “While others seek to decimate our hospitals and reduce access to quality healthcare, we are investing to help ensure a stronger, healthier New York for all.” The following providers will receive funding: Bertrand Chaffee Hospital, $11,319,515. Eastern Niagara Hospital, $5,921,650. Harris Hill Nursing Facility, $200,000. Kaleida Health, $17,000,000. Mount St. Mary’s Hospital of Niagara Falls, $825,200. Odd Fellow & Rebekah Rehabilitation & Health Care Center, $221,559. The Chautauqua Center, $3,500,000. The Memorial Hospital of William F. and Gertrude F. Jones, $5,700,000 For more information about these awards, visit www. governor.ny.gov. Senate Majority Leader John J. Flanagan said, “New York is a national leader in delivering first-class health care to individuals and families, and remains committed to building upon these achievements to provide the best patient care possible. The funding we are announcing today - combined with an additional $200 million Request For Applications that was a priority of the members of our Senate Republican Conference and will be released soon - are significant steps in our ongoing work to help those most in need of quality health and mental health services.” Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie said, “The Assembly has been a longstanding supporter of essential health services and facilities that allow individuals and families to get the medical services they need close to home. Families
first means investing in a public health network that is robust and responsive to the needs of New Yorkers across the state. This funding will help our healthcare partners and facilities achieve the capital and efficiency goals that are a critical part of improving patient care and access.” Senate Independent Democratic Conference Leader Jeffrey Klein said, “New York continues to lead the way in ensuring that our residents in every corner of this state have access to top-notch medical facilities that serve their needs. With $491 million for the Statewide Health Care Facility Transformation Program we will continue to improve programs and keep safety net health care providers financially well, even in these times of uncertainty posed by the federal government. New York will continue to lead the way in reducing costs, improving outcomes and expanding access to care. I thank Governor Cuomo prioritizing the health and wellness of our providers and patients.” Senate Democratic Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins said, “Encouraging more New Yorkers to avoid costly, time-consuming, and often unnecessary trips to an emergency room by investing in other medical facilities is a common sense way to improve patient care. Utilizing state funds to advance programs serving New Yorkers’ primary care, mental health, and substance abuse needs will streamline the health care process, provide communities with better services, and save money. This investment is a win-win for New York, and I commend the Governor for taking action.” The funding was awarded under the Statewide Health Care Facility Transformation Program, which was enacted as part of the FY 2017 Budget. Additional funding was made available in the recently enacted FY 2018 Budget. The program is administered by the Department of Health and the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York and will help support the objectives of the Delivery System Reform Incentive Program. The purpose of the Delivery System Reform Incentive Program is to reduce health care costs and improve the health outcomes of New Yorkers by expanding access to inpatient, primary, preventative and other ambulatory care services as part of regionally integrated

healthcare delivery systems. The Delivery System Reform Incentive Program primary goal is to reduce avoidable hospital visits by 25 percent by 2020. The Statewide Health Care Facility Transformation Program awards are also focused on projects which will help ensure the financial sustainability of safety net healthcare providers, and the preservation or expansion of essential health care services. New York State Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker said, “Investing in the infrastructure of New York’s healthcare system will yield dividends for the millions of residents who rely upon these vital services. This program will help motivate providers to develop new and innovative services that both improve the quality of care and create a health care system that saves taxpayer dollars down the road.” DASNY President & CEO Gerrard P. Bushell said, “By investing in New York’s healthcare infrastructure we are expanding access to high-quality services that empower residents and make our communities attractive for employers to locate their businesses. A healthy New York is a competitive New York.” President of the Healthcare Association of New York State President Bea Grause said, “We thank Governor Cuomo for this much-needed infusion of capital to the healthcare system. These funds will help continue the process of transformation toward greater access, lower costs and improved quality. It will make a real difference in communities across the state.” President and CEO of the Community Health Care Association of New York State Rose Duhan said, “Today’s awards reflect the Administration’s commitment to helping FQHCs and other community-based providers to expand access to affordable, high-quality primary and preventive health care in high-need areas of the state, which is central to New York’s health care delivery system and payment reform efforts. These funds will allow community-based providers to participate more meaningfully in transformation activities, including integration of services, reimagined care coordination models in preparation for value based payment, modernization and expansion of facilities, and solidification.

Taste of Olean/Art in the Park July 23
On Sunday, July 23 at War Vets Park in Olean, restaurateurs and artists come together for the annual food and art lovers event, Taste of Olean/Art in the Park. From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., you can stroll the Taste booths, grazing on a little of this and a taste of that, and at Art in the Park, see your favorite artists, meet new ones and discover beautiful pieces to take home with you. This is the 68th year of Art in the Park, produced by the Cattaraugus County Arts Council (CCAC), an independent non-profit organization which is dedicated to excellence in fine arts and handcrafted goods, as well as promoting the arts and the talented artists and artisans in the area. The Taste of Olean is produced by the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce to showcase the best of the Olean region’s restaurants with numerous food vendors serving up their best to the public al fresco. New to Art in the Park this year is “Chalk It Up!” a chalk art contest. A $5 registration fee on the day of the event will give you a 4 ft. X 4 ft. space
on the paved basketball court in War Vets Park to draw your chalk masterpiece. A “Best in Show” prize will be awarded in each of two age categories Youth, ages 10 - 15 and Adult, age 16 and older. Kids up to 10 years of age can draw for free in an open area, but there is no prize for this age group. Chalk drawing begins at 10 a.m. with spaces assigned on a firstcome, first served basis. The first 28 entries will get a set of chalk provided by CCAC. Others coming later must provide their own chalk. Those participating in the contest must complete their artwork by 3 p.m. when judging begins. If it rains, the event will be cancelled. For contest rules, go to the Chalk Art Contest page of the CCAC website, www. myartscouncil.net.
Taste of Olean / Art in the Park is also an opportunity to recognize some of the artists and restaurateurs. Art in the Park is a juried exhibit and sale, so ribbons will be awarded for the Best In Show, Best New Exhibitor, and Best Presentation. Taste of Olean will also announce the recipients of this year’s Hospitality Wall of Fame awards, recognizing the individuals or businesses who have made a significant contribution to the local food service/hospitality industry. There is something for everyone at this “double header” event: get something to eat at Taste of Olean and be entertained with live performances on the stage, tour the tent galleries, talk to the artists about their work and purchase pieces directly from the artists while children play in the bounce houses or on the playground. Express your own creativity at the Chalk It Up! Chalk art contest or wander through this beautiful park of mature shade trees and relax to people watch at the many picnic tables or in the dining pavilion. This a family-friendly destination for the entire day.

the parish. By 1896, the church had grown enough to build a church and parsonage on the corner of Park and Central Avenues. The church would be active at that location until 1939 when the church activities stopped. In 1948, the church was sold to the Christian Missionary Alliance Church. Coincidentally, the parish was regrouped in that year and in 1950, the church bought a house at 60 West Main Street. The house is no longer there; it is the empty lot across from Spring China. In 1961, the church purchased three acres on East Main Street and the Bishop blessed the property. Construction first began on the parsonage and then the church. By Christmas Eve 1964, the church was completed enough to have its first services there. Over the years, there would be many a vicar to lead the flock at St. Paul’s, but in July 2017 the church will have a historic moment—the retirement of Very Reverend Gary Schindler. Rev. Schindler has had the longest tenure of any vicar at St. Paul’s. In a recent interview with Rev. Schindler, he gave a brief biography and reflections on his time here in Springville: When asked about his childhood and early years, Rev. Schindler recalled growing up in Long Island and attending St. Ann’s Episcopal Church in Sayville, NY. Though never an acolyte, the Rev. was very active in the parish; he attended Sunday school regularly, played in a music ensemble and was active in the the church youth group. He always remembered being enthralled by the sunlight streaming through the Tiffany Stained Glass windows. At the age of 16, he felt called to the ordained ministry. After consulting an encouraging church rector, he was told to get a college degree in something he liked and then see if he was still feeling called. And that is what he did. He attended SUNY Plattsburgh and studied to be a chemistry teacher. After his student teaching experience, he knew that teaching was not his calling. After graduation, the church encouraged young couples to live in “the real world” before attending seminary. After graduation, he married his college sweetheart Ginnie and moved to Massena, NY. (Ginnie had graduated a year early and had a teaching job in Massena.) Rev. Schindler worked as a radio station manager and newspaper reporter for the Syracuse Post Standard. He enjoyed the fact he was able to cover the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics while writing for the paper. In the fall of 1980, he attended Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, MA. After graduating, he served as an associate Rector at Christ Church in Pittsford, after a few years he was called to be rector of the Episcopal United Ministry in Mountaintop and Nanticoke, PA, serving the congregations of St. George’s (Nanticoke) and St. Martin-inthe-Fields (Mountaintop). In 1991, he felt he was called to seek a new position and that’s when he came to St. Paul’s. Rev Schindler remembered, “When I was interviewing at St. Paul’s, I was struck, when shown the church building, by the warm summer light coming through the stainedglass windows behind the altar. It was for me a powerful and peaceful reminder of my
earliest memory of church. During the interview process before being called to St. Paul’s, I remember visiting the community and feeling warmly welcomed. We went to visit the schools since my oldest daughter would be starting the 5th grade (then Middle School) and my younger daughter would be attending the elementary school. We were quite taken by the fact that the School Superintendent, Dr. Nennstiel, gave us a personal tour of the buildings.” He noted the highlights over the 26 years he has been here: “The pastoral care in the community; baptisms, weddings, funerals, celebrating 100 years of our churches ministry in Springville, the building and opening of our Labyrinth, being a part of the founding of Love INC., being named Dean of the southern Erie Deanery (hence my official title as The Very Reverend).” Rev. Schindler has also been very active in our community since moving here. He coached for Springville Youth Incorporated Youth Soccer. He served as a Board member of Spectrum Human Services and was on the board of the Healthy Community Alliance. He was a Red Cross Platelet Donor, making over 160 donations of platelets. He volunteered in several capacities in the Springville Elementary and Middle School for the last 20 years. For 10 years, he was on the staff of the Samaritan Pastoral Counseling Center of the Niagara Frontier. He was also chaplain for the Buffalo Destroyers Arena Football team for two years before they left Buffalo. He served for numerous terms as Secretary and President of the Springville Area Clergy Association and was a chaplain for Chautauqua County Hospice. About retirement, Schindler said, “I don’t think my decision came as too much of a surprise, since my wife and I bought a house in Rochester, NY, near my daughter about two years ago, which we have been renting out. My move to retire has been a series of events which just seem to have fallen into place. My wife has been teaching in Holland, NY, and could retire at the end of June. I have been blessed by being able to care for my grandson in Rochester for the last three years on Mondays and Tuesdays. Retirement is something which we can do and it seems like the time to do it. I can honestly say that in my quarter of a century here, I have been blessed to serve a wonderful congregation. I have always (well, almost always) been excited when Sunday came and I could be the priest leading the worship of God at the altar on Sunday mornings. It is a bittersweet departure for me. I am sorry to go, but looking forward to the future. It has been an honor to be a priest here, and I know that the congregation of St. Paul’s will always hold a special place in my heart.” His immediate plans for the future are to go on a 13-day European tour. He also plans to work part time at the Friendly Home a nursing facility in Rochester, continue his marathon racing (part if his self imposed post prostrate cancer therapy) and of course, spend time with his grandchildren. What the future holds for St. Paul’s is unknown. Rev. Schindler said that he wasn’t the best person to ask about that. As the church enters a new era, it will immediately be served by interim pastors.
