Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet throughout Western New York. The goal is to make Shakespeare approachable for audiences of all levels of Shakespearean knowledge. This is Shake on the Lake’s second visit to Springville. Last year, the company performed Twelfth Night for a full house at Springville Center for the Arts. Due to the rain, the production was held inside. This year, the company hopes for an outdoor show, weather permitting! The mission of the festival is to entertain, engage, and enrich those in the community by creating professional theater productions in a natural outdoor setting to inspire audiences to envision new creative

Stock Up During National Blueberry Month By Alicia Dziak
It’s the height of berry season in Western New York, which means time to stock up on all that fruity goodness. Besides the obvious tastiness of blueberries, these tiny, juicy morsels have the highest antioxidants of any fruit, and just one cup provides a good amount of fiber and vitamin C without packing in a lot of calories. While July is officially National Blueberry Month, there’s still plenty of time left in the season, and many berries are available to be picked locally through late August. Enjoy fresh berries now and get enough to can and freeze so you can enjoy the taste and health benefits all year round! See Berries page 4

Higher Education
By Derek M. Otto
A recent visit to the Lucy Bensley Center in Springville had me thinking about a unique bust that is on one of the book cases there. It’s not of anyone internationally renowned, like the other one they have of Ben Franklin. This bust is of David Cochran, the son of Samuel
Upcoming Events
Cochran. Why is there a bust of Mr. Cochran? After he left Springville, he pursued an educational career first at Fredonia Normal School and then at Albany Normal School. It was there he ended up in administration and became the school’s president. A few years later, he took the position of President of Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, which today is known as NYU. It is always nice to have a Springville connection in something prominent as the president of NYU. At one point, Springville was going to be the premier spot for higher education, internationally. With college starting in a few weeks for many, it is interesting that

Fiddler’s Green Country & Bluegrass Festival July 29
The Concord Historical Society, a non-profit organization in Springville, is sponsoring the Fiddler’s Green Country & Bluegrass Festival on Saturday, July 29 in downtown Springville. Activities are scheduled from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. From 1818 until about 1834, Springville was actually known as “Fiddler’s Green” due to many fiddlers playing almost nightly in the village green. For this year’s Festival, there will be eight bands playing six hours of continuous music from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at both the Gazebo in Fiddler’s Green Park and also on the porch of
the 1890’s Historical Society General Store known as the Concord Mercantile. Open Jamming will also be held in the new Gazebo in Heritage Park on Franklin and Factory
Streets. Again featured this year will be horse drawn shuttle rides between the Gazebo music area and the Mercantile music See Bluegrass Festival page 6

Christine Padasak Memorial Autism Awareness 5K Run & Family Fun Walk
The Springville Kiwanis has organized a 5K Running Race and Family Fun Walk on Aug. 5, while devoting the proceeds to The Children’s League and its Autism Program in Springville. Following the race and walk there will be a Deluxe Pancake Breakfast. Additional family friendly activities will be held in the park-like setting behind the school. In addition to the play structures and beautifully shaded grassy play areas, there will be a bounce house and carnival style children’s games. There will also be a basket raffle and door prizes.
Come for the event even if you do not plan to run or walk. Bring the entire family and enjoy good food and fun and support a good cause! Additional pancake breakfast tickets available at the event for $5 (bring the whole family!) The Autism Program at The Children’s League is a highly specialized program with staff trained to address the core issues of Autism. Research shows that hitting those core symptoms early with intensive behaviorally based instruction results in best outcomes. Educational practices as usual
are not sufficient - extra effort and resources are essential. With constrained educational budgets, resources have been limited. To accomplish great things, one has to do great things. In order for The Children’s League to keep doing great things – the extra things that truly make a meaningful difference – we need your help. All proceeds will go to The Children’s League with a portion specifically to its Autism Program to promote Excellence! For more info and to sign up, visit www.tcl5k.kintera.org
Springville Village Wide Garage Sale Aug. 2-5
By Derek M. Otto
The annual village wide garage sale is coming next week. In order to keep things safe and pleasant, here are few tips: For those holding the sales, a variety of sources have agreed that keeping doors closed and locked the night before helps ensure that no early birds visit the sale. Some people are aggressive and want to have first dibs on items. It is also good to keep the interior of your home locked if you are having the sale outside. It would be a good idea to ask friends and relatives to help out on the day of the sale. Sales can get hectic and you may need the extra help. Have plenty of change on hand, including singles and coinage, especially if you are selling items for under a dollar. Most people expect you to have change for a twenty or a one dollar item. Be prepared—if you end up with a lot of money on hand, make sure you deposit it someplace safe. Don’t use a cash box— you may get
distracted and the box could walk. If you do use a cash box, assign a friend or relative to be in charge of it. During summer sales, it can get hot quickly. Your garage or lawn sale can leave you exhausted. Staying hydrated is a good way to stay cool and not feel wiped out by the sale. To keep things safe, it is suggested that everything go on tables so that people do not trip on boxes. Keep knives and sharp objects out of the reach of children. And your children and your pets should not be at the sale. In one scenario, your child distracts you and misbehaves and in the worst case, your child or pet could be snatched if you become distracted. One of the best tips is unless you already know the person, do not let them in your house to use the bathroom. Point them to the nearest public restroom. For those attending sales, remember to drive slowly and be respectful of the neighborhood you are in. Traffic laws do apply on garage sale days. With the recent
Letter from the Editor
This week, we celebrate one year of the Springville Times. Since we started in July 2016, I have been lucky enough to have been able to cover so many great things. Some that stick out are the SES PTA Color Run, SGI sports and all of our talented young athletes, all the ski-related events happening at Kissing Bridge, and being able to write about so many great local places and organizations—Sprague Brook, Griffis Sculpture Park, SYI and many more. I’ve also gotten to meet so many of you while learning about your businesses and non-profits and have loved hearing your stories. Not only to I get to learn about this community by writing about it, but I also get to read about it by our team of dedicated local writers, who cover everything from meetings to events to everything in between. All of us at the Springville Times would like to extend a sincere thank you to our readers for welcoming us, and especially to our advertisers, who help keep our content free every week. We hope this is the beginning of a long relationship! As always,we welcome your photos and story ideas.

The Summer Bucket List
Classic Car Shows
By Jennifer Weber
As the wifey of a proud owner of a 1972 Dodge Challenger, I’ve become accustomed to the ogling of the pretty, pretty car, who I lovingly refer to as “The Mistress” and the endless conversation and intrigue that surrounds her whenever taking a ride to town to grab dinner or entering her in a cruise night or car show. In these few short years of my Classic Car education, I’ve also quickly learned there are approximately a hundred different cruise nights and car shows one could attend throughout Western New York on any given week. Give or take. So in an effort to streamline your Summer Bucket List in attending a Classic Car Show, here’s a quick round up of a few upcoming events being held in Western New York (including a newbie this weekend right here in Springville!) This Weekend: 1st Annual Food Truck, Fire Truck and Car Show hosted by the Springville Volunteer Fire Department will take place on Saturday, July 29 from 10 a.m.3 p.m. at Springville Fireman’s Park, 71 Nason Boulevard, Springville.

Cars register at the Orchard Park High School on Baker Road. Registration is $17 day of event and proceeds benefit the Orchard Park Lions Club. Last year, this event hosted over 220 cars.

Her credits include opening for big-name acts like Foreigner, Blue Oyster Cult, Edgar Winter, Johnny Winter, Little Feat, Creedence Clearwater Revisited, Foghat, Steppenwolf, Sammy Hagar and Styx. Also that night, Keith Shuskie of The Voice fame will perform on the patio. On Saturday, Balloons will host contempo-jazz guitarist BD Lenz, as well as singer/

It’s all free! “Jazz and Blues Weekend is about music,” said Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce
Communications and Public Relations Manager Chris Chapman. “It’s about coming out to the various live music venues to hear some of the Western New York region’s best jazz and blues acts. I mean, to be able to hear such great acts as The Mick Hayes Band and the Mark Mazur Little Big Band live and for free on the same weekend is a wonderful treat for an area like Ellicottville. We have a total of 16 bands at 8 venues throughout the village…and we have the unofficial kickoff on Thursday night with a bit of the bayou, when Black Rock Zydeco pays the gazebo…and it’s ALL FREE.” Your chance to beat the heat and beat the blues is here— don’t miss your chance to take in some great tunes with friends old and new at all of EVL’s hottest spots!

4-H Shines at Erie County Fair
Four-leaf clovers are not just a universal symbol of good luck. For many, they also signify the 4-H logo – a green four-leaf clover with a white “H” on each leaf, symbolizing the organization’s commitment to four personal development areas: head, hands, heart and health. 4-H is the nation’s largest youth development organization. According to the Eric County Co-op website, “more than 6 million 4-H youth in urban neighborhoods, suburban schoolyards, and rural farming communities stand out among their peers: building revolutionary opportunities and implementing communitywide change at an early age.” First incorporated in the 1920s, 4-H was originally established with a goal of educating rural youth in improved farming activities and homemaking practices, later broadening its range in the 1970s. The organization now boasts that there are absolutely no stipulations for joining the global group, other than requiring youth to be between the ages of 5 and 21. “All youth regardless of gender, race, color, national origin, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or marital status may join 4-H,” states the website. As the pledge goes, 4-H shares in the mission that participants will, “Pledge my head to clearer thinking, my hands to larger service, my heart to greater loyalty, and my health to better living, for my country, community, and my world.” And they are able to do just that through a variety of educational programs that can be categorized into three main sections: Science, Technology,
Engineering and Math (STEM); Civic Engagement; and Healthy Living. As the Erie County Fair quickly approaches, from Aug. 9-20, take a moment to walk through the barns to see the livestock or youth development projects. There are more than 10 different livestock categories youth can compete in at the fair, including: beef, dairy cattle, dairy goats, dogs, meat goats, poultry, rabbits, sheep, swine and working goats. While most typically think of 4-H as showing a pig or a cow in front of judges, 4-H has a far greater span than just cows. Lifestyle projects range from fine arts and crafts to photography, entomology to food preservation, and public interaction to wood science. All projects require the 4-H member to undergo a judging or evaluation of their project, a showcase of the completed project, and encourage the development of positive sportsmanship habits. Thinking about getting your little ones involved? There are a variety of ways to join a local club. Youth can choose from neighborhood clubs, led by parents are guardians and typically made up of community members; school or after-school clubs if 4-H curricula is used within the classroom, or sponsored 4-H club, which are formed by government agencies, religious groups or other youth-serving organizations. If none of these seem like good options, youth can also become a member independently through self study and mentoring. A little beyond the maximum age of 19, but still looking to get involved in local 4-H activities? The Erie County Fair is always looking for
4-H exhibit evaluators and assistants. Or, local 4-H clubs also need officers and advisors, who act as leaders by presiding over club meetings. And while the Erie County Fair may be crown jewel of events for local 4-H members, it’s important to note that membership in local clubs doesn’t have to be limited to just one main event. Through 4-H, youth have opportunities to compete in several others. If livestock or youth lifestyle projects are selected, they will be sent on to compete amongst their peers at the New York State Fair in Syracuse. Youth can also participate in Career Explorations through 4-H, a three- day event held at Cornell University campus that provides members with handson exposure to academic fields of their interest, in a college setting. 4-H Capital Days give youth an opportunity meet and interact with state legislators in Albany, giving them a better understanding of government and an opportunity to network with other delegates. And that’s far from the end of the list. So, when you attend the Erie County Fair in a few weeks, be sure to pay attention and take interest in more than just the funnel cakes and sugar waffles—unless of course those happen to be the names of two dairy cows. 4-H now plays, and has historically played, a pivotal part in county fairs far and wide, and it’s easy to see why. For more information on the 4-H clubs and events in your area, visit the Erie County Cornell Cooperation Extension website at: www. erie.cce.cornell.edu.

Building are a must-see, as many 4-H students embrace their creative side to share their work in areas such as ecology and agriculture. Additionally, students take a hands-on approach to the environment by showcasing home-grown produce, maple syrup, cut flowers, and other displays of horticulture.

Such items include baked goods, needlework, photography, and other crafts. Ribbons and cash prizes are awarded during the weekend before the fair opens, and fairgoers can see the result of the students’ hard work all week long.

facebook.com/springvilletimes BCH Nurses Certified as Diabetes Lifestyle Coaches
Kathleen Hebdon, RN and Sheri Plummer, RN of the Bertrand Chaffee Hospital Diabetes Education team have completed the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) Lifestyle Coach certification. This complements the Diabetes Self-Management accreditation that the hospital has achieved, and will result in additional services that can be offered to patients and covered by most insurance plans. Studies have shown that patients who attend weekly sessions in diabetes programs for an extended period of time have been rates of prevention because of the healthy lifestyle habits they develop. After an initial 16 weeks, patients are encouraged to attend a monthly support group. Those who commit to attendance up to a full year have the lowest rates of converting to a diabetes diagnosis. As instructors, Hebdon and Plummer hear myths and misinformation about diabetes reflected back to them from patients. “Some people think that they just have ‘a little diabetes,” said Hebdon. “But
the prevalent thought now is that once someone is diagnosed with pre-diabetes, about 50 percent of their pancreatic function is lost, and by the time they are diabetic, that ratio is 80 percent.” Diabetes causes more deaths in the United States than breast cancer, and type 2 diabetes is very much a lifestyle disease. “People are resistant to starting diabetes treatment,” said Sheri Plummer, RN. “And they give excuses like ‘I’m too old’ or ‘I’m too out-of-shape’ - but they would not hesitate to start a cancer treatment!” She explained, “Pancreatic changes are permanent and progress with age, and we want our patients to start treatment and
lifestyle changes immediately to preserve pancreatic function and delay or prevent having to take insulin.” Diabetes can be treated by three modalities: medication, diet and activity. “Without exercise and activity, you are missing out on a third of the possible treatment regimen,” said Hebdon. “Our programs can help patients overcome barriers with alternative exercises for all conditions, like arthritis, back pain and immobility, and ways to work those into everyday life.” For information about upcoming Diabetes Education programs, call (716) 592-9643.
Belle finds love and kindness where she least expects it, within a Beast. Springville Center for the Arts presents Disney’s Beauty and the Beast JR. with performances on August 11 and 12. Belle, a young woman sick of her provincial life, journeys to an enchanted castle while looking for her father. While rescuing him, Belle makes a deal with the Beast - he will set her father free and she must remain in the castle. Learning of the unfortunate curse set upon the castle and all who reside there, there is little time for Belle to save the Beast before the last rose petal drops. Based on the original Broadway production that ran for over thirteen years and was nominated for nine Tony Awards, and the Academy
Award-winning motion picture, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast JR. is an adaptation of the story many are familiar with. Beauty and the Beast features songs written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Mr. Menken and Tim Rice. This show will be the result of Springville Center for the Arts’ Musical Theater Workshop. The workshop is the second of two happening this summer. The actors and actresses are all entering grades three through eight, with direction and organization lead by the Center’s four summer interns: Julie Sandler, Sarah Musicant, Molly Bader, and Mackenzie Moyer. The cast includes: Kaelyann Pfarner, Claire Nabozny, Sophia Vanstrom, Ayla Oakley, Elijah
Wochensky, Noah Babbitt, Gabrielle Cerasani, Taylor Casey, Abigail Mitchell, Sarah Sullivan, Kierra Puntillo, Lilyana Miess, Maksim and Alexi Zosh, Ceceilia Prouty, Alyssa Pavone, Jenevieve Ehrig, and Emma Rose Thompson.

at one point Springville was chosen as the spot for World University by the International Institute Foundation. It was announced in September 1963 that 2,000 acres were going to be purchased and developed into World University right here in the Town of Concord. The concept was that students would work directly toward a Master’s Degree in nuclear physics, international affairs or any field that would require international connections. Students would spend years 1 and 3 in Springville and year 2 and 4 at another campus in Switzerland. The student body would be composed mainly of American students, but draw about 30 percent from the rest of the world. The state of the art campus was to have closed circuit color televisions in each of the dorm rooms as to which students could watch courserelated work. An audio system allowed students to directly tune into course lectures and music. This was state of the art for 1963. The campus was to bring 100 new homes to the area. In addition, the new campus would bring in over $1.4 million in local payroll with university-related personnel. It would also hire local people: a doctor, five nurses, 65 secretaries, 15 kitchen staff, 40 dormitory maids, 20 janitors, 12 grounds and building people. This promised to be a payroll of $650,000! This was a legitimate plan. The board was composed of industry leaders in Buffalo and Dr. Warren Hickman, Dean of the Arts and Sciences at Ithaca College, served as the chairman of the foundation of the board. Hickman prophesized that “graduates from this university concept would be sitting across from each at the United Nations!” For the next several months, a campaign was on the way to raise the needed money to bring World University to Springville. Initially, it was said that $664,000 would be needed by Dec. 30, 1963; $500,000 would be escrowed in State University of New York
system, with the remaining money providing resources to the campaign to start the university. It was a great campaign locally—many of Springville’s businessmen and their wives worked diligently to raise the money for the World University. Sadly, in the middle of February 1964, the International Institute Foundation announced that it was abandoning the “project for University for World Study at Springville NY.” Dr. Hickman stated that, “We cannot praise too highly the complete support accorded the university by civic, political and religious leaders of Erie County.” He furthered this by saying, “Far-sighted members of the business and financial community of Springville and some of the south towns joined in this expression of confidence.” Residents in Springville raised nearly $100,000 (1964 dollars) in a few short months. Initially, when I began to research this topic, some said to me “Oh that, the village fathers did not want Springville to become a college town.” That is not necessarily the case; it’s actually quite the opposite. Springville raised the money and worked hard to get the university to come here. “It was that the overall financial support of Western New York is not to be found,” stated Hickman as the decision to drop the project. The foundation could not find suitable matches for the money raised in Springville and actually, there was a lot of opposition to the project from Buffalo. The SUNY system didn’t want the college in Springville. A few years later, it was announced the SUNY would be building the north campus of the University at Buffalo. That’s right—Concord could look more like Amherst and Williamsville. So as many kids prepare the next few weeks to start their college life, just remember you could have gone to World University right here in Springville.
