Town Board reviews contract with Village Police
By DAVID L. SNYDER Editor, Publisher and Janitor ALFRED STATION–The Alfred Town Board discussed changes in police cover- age in its agreement with the Village of Alfred Police Department, at the board’s March 12 meeting.
With Town Supervisor Dan Acton pre- siding and Alfred Police Chief Paul Grif- fin and Village Mayor Justin Grigg in attendance, discussion of changes in po- lice coverage in the Town (outside of the village) was questioned by Councilman Mary Stearns. “Who negotiated the police contract?” she asked.
Supervisor Acton said that he discussed the operational arrangement with the po- lice chief but neither were involved in dis- cussing the cost.
Village Mayor Justin Grigg explained that 20% to 25% of the calls were in the township (outside the village) but the Town was not paying anywhere near that percentage of the Village’s Police Depart- ment budget.
The Town of Alfred in 2015 is paying
$36,896 to the Village of Alfred for police coverage, up 2% from the 2014 contract of $36,173. The Village asked for more but the request came after the Town budget had already been approved.
“We need to speed up the increase in the
Town’s payment for police coverage,”
Grigg said.
“The two percent increase each year doesn’t keep up with our department’s in- creases,” Police Chief Griffin added.
“The Town was paying about 5% of the budget but was getting 25% of the serv- ice,” he added.
Stearns replied, “I just couldn’t under- stand why we’ve increased our pay but we’re getting less service.”
The new contract is for one year and states that the Village Police Department will only respond to “emergencies.” Once the New York State Police arrives, every- thing will be turned over to them and the Village Police will leave.
“It seemed like there wasn’t a problem with what we were paying until the Vil- lage was experiencing financial difficul- ties,” Stearns added.
Griffin said that over 20 years time, the 2% increase each year didn’t keep up with the police department costs.
Mayor Grigg added that the budget struggle has caused the Village to take a closer look at everything.
“When did it (police coverage) start?”
asked Councilman Jerry Snyder.
Griffin explained, “It was about 1992.
Brent Reynolds was on the (town) board and had an incident with someone at his
house and the Village Police could not re- spond” (Village Police had no jurisdiction outside of the Village of Alfred).
“There was also a brawl at Little Sicily back then and we could not respond,”
Griffin continued. In both cases, he said, those affected had to wait for State Police to arrive on the scene.
Griffin said that under the 2015 con- tract, the Village Police will respond to an emergency in the Town of Alfred and will make sure the scene is secured until the State Police arrive. The State Police would then be responsible to conduct an investigation.
Town resident Mark Klingensmith said, as a town taxpayer, he would be support- ive of the Town raising taxes to ade- quately compensate the Village Police Department for police coverage in the town, adding that the real need is for the State of New York to increase the number of State Troopers in Allegany County.
Discussion ensued on possible solutions to the Village of Alfred’s financial dilemma.
Mayor Grigg reported that the State of New York’s “Financial Restructuring Board,” a “heavy hitter at the state level,”
said the Village of Alfred has two choices:
find a partner to share services or dissolve.
“The Honorable” Supervisor Acton
then reported on a brainstorming session regarding possibilities of shared services between the Village of Alfred Streets De- partment, Water Department and the Town of Alfred’s Highway Department.
“It was a good session,” Acton said, noting that four proposals emerged from the meeting.
“If the Village carried out Proposal #4, the Village would save the cost of one full-time employee,” Acton said.
There will no doubt be future discus- sions of shared services between the Town and Village of Alfred.
In other business, the Town Board...
...HEARD that the New York State De- partment of Transportation is reviewing the alternatives regarding closing of Baker’s Bridge. No decision has been made and NYSDOT will reach out to the town and Fire Department for input.
...HEARD in a report of the Code En- forcement Officer that damage to a house at 591 State Rt. 244 when it was struck by a motor vehicle was merely cosmetic in nature.
...HEARD that the Highway Depart- ment has not had any problem securing salt and sand for snow removal purposes.
...HEARD that Town Clerk/Tax Collec- tor Jan Burdick will attend the State Town Clerk Conference in Rochester in April.
Michael Farrell, director of Cornell University’s Uihlein Sugar Maple Research and Ex- tension Field Station, says maple syrup is a delicious business with room to grow and invites people to learn more about the process and food during Maple Weekend.
Maple Weekend is March 21- 22 and 28-29 where over 150 producers open their sugar- houses to the public for free tours and tastings as well as other family-friendly events. Go to www.mapleweekend.com for more information.
Farrell says, “The cold, snowy winter has made things difficult for sugarmakers to tap their trees and gather sap so far, but the temperatures have finally risen above freezing and sap is now flowing in maple trees through- out the state.
“New York is the second largest producer of maple syrup in the country and contains the most tappable maple trees of any state. Less than 1 percent of the tappable maple trees are used for syrup production and the aver- age American only consumes about 3 ounces of pure maple
syrup a year – so there is tremen- dous room for growth in both the production and consumption of pure maple products.
“The consumption of imita- tion ‘pancake syrups’ containing high-fructose corn syrup is down significantly and sales of pure maple syrup are growing at 6 to 10 percent each year. Pure maple syrup is seeing increased atten- tion as the local, natural, healthy sweetener for New York State and the entire northeast.
“People can tap trees in their backyard or visit a maple pro- ducer on Maple Weekend to get a taste of fresh ‘maple water’
straight from the tree.
“Maple water is being mar- keted as a new health beverage in the marketplace. This ‘new beverage’ is simply the tradi- tional drink of maple sap fresh from the tree before it is boiled down in to syrup. Sugarmakers have been drinking fresh sap during the harvest season for centuries and now several com- panies are bottling it up and mar- keting it as a year round beverage.”
Andover will host its annual Maple Festival March 28-29.
Andover Lions Club member Claire Updyke looks on as Daniel Brown drills the first maple tree in Andover for this year's Maple Festival. Andover Central School technology teacher Zack Owen, with his son Finley, look on along with students Cody Greene and Greg Dunn. The ACS technol- ogy class has built a maple syrup evaporation table with materials donated by Alstom. The stu- dents are coordinating with the Lions Club to collect sap using the Lions’ equipment in the village near the school for a test run of their apparatus. The Maple Festival will be at the School in An- dover on March 28 & 29. (Photo provided)
Tapping the first maple tree (finally!)
It’s a sweet season to be living in NY

ALfRED H. NuDD Long-time Tinkertown resident
ALBANY—Al Nudd, who taught civil engineering for 31 years at Alfred State College, passed away on Wednesday, March 4, 2015 in Albany.
He was born in WestBloom- field, on April 3, 1923, to the late Elizabeth Hunter and Alfred W. Nudd. He graduated from high school in Avon and attended Oswego State College.
He served in World War II from 1943 to 1946, including 24 months of overseas duty in Eng- land, France and Germany, with the Army Air Corps of Engi- neers. He was promoted to staff sergeant in the 877thAirbourne Aviation Battalion, and earned the good conduct medal, Euro- pean Theatre ribbon with 3 stars, and the glider badge.
Following his years in service, Al completed his degree at SUNY Oswego. In September of 1949, Al married the former Jayne Louise Watson of Fair- port, and entered the construc- tion business in Avon.
In 1954, Al was offered a teaching position at SUNY Al- fred in the Civil Engineering de-
partment where he taught for 31 years, retiring in 1985. In 1963, Al took a sabbatical, and at- tended the University of Pitts- burgh where he received a Masters degree in Urban Re- newal and Development.
For 23 of his years at SUNY Alfred, Professor Nudd was chairman of the Civil Engineer- ing department, during which time he was instrumental in changing the curriculum from a vocational to a technical empha- sis, with the establishment of three options of study concentra- tion: Construction, Surveying, and Architectural Engineering Technology. In addition to his teaching duties, Al was made an honorary member of the Psi Delta Omega fraternity, with which he participated in many community activities. In 1987, at the School of Engineering Tech- nologies 50th anniversary and fourth Annual Founders Day celebration, Professor Nudd was presented with the school’s Ac- ademic Service Award.
Following his retirement, Al and his wife spent part of their time on Conesus Lake in Liv- ingston County, and part of the time in Florida. Eventually, the couple moved and lived many years in Ft. Myers, Florida. In later years, they spent some time in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and recently in Albany, to be near family.
During their years in Alfred, Al and Jayne raised three daugh- ters, Kathy, Diane and Cheryl.
His teaching duties allowed for many summer vacations in their travel trailer to all corners of the U.S. and parts of Canada.
Al is survived by his wife Jayne, of 65 years, who resides near Albany, and a sister, Eliza- beth Warren, who resides in Avon. He is also survived by his three daughters, Kathy (Joel) Hochman of Oakton, Virginia, Diane (Brian) McLaughlin of Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Cheryl (Paul) Singh of Slingerlands, near Albany.
He is also survived by his six grandchildren: Aaron, Brandon, Lindsay, Trevor, Alex, and Kris- tian. Fondly known as “Ampa”
by some of them, Al was always eager to participate in various activities such as playing with dolls, trucks and Legos®. Later, he taught most of them how to fish from the dock at Conesus Lake, and took them on numer- ous outings to get candy at Smitty’s General Store.
Al will be missed by all of this family, including many nieces and nephews. A ceremony is planned for later in April, when his family will gather to honor his life and inter his ashes. Me- morial contributions can be made to the Community Hos- pice of Albany County, or to the Alzheimer’s Association.

Edna Carter was a beautiful lady who loved being with people.
She was a staunch supporter of my high school theatre program, even though she no longer had children in the school system. She would attend every new performance and tell me in detail how much she enjoyed it. She made it a point also to tell the individual per- formers how good their performance had been.

Texans are polite, friendly, helpful...and then there's this one... I'm always addressed as "Ma'm;" men, women, and children hold doors for me; and I've been offered rides many times when I'm out walking or even running.
Early one morning, Bob pulled over as we drove north on Texas Highway 118, so I could photograph these stranded canoes at the top of a cliff, which we'd noted several times. That day, there was a bonus.
What you may not be able to see well in the photo is the little puff of smoke from this guitarist's camp- fire. He is just left of the "vee"in the cliff, while the smoke is right in the "vee."
I clearly interrupted his playing and his solitude. As I angled and shot, and crouched and shot, he watched amusedly, calling down as I finished, "Wanna' cuppa' coffee?" I declined, but wish now that I'd accepted.

PERSONNEL (AND PERSONAL) MATTERS
The March 9th session of the Allegany County Legislature was unusual in several respects. A number of different matters were handled in some unusual ways. Former Army Specialist Fourth Lyle Ostrander opened the meeting by leading us in the Pledge of Allegiance. He served during the Vietnam conflict. Since then he has remained in- volved in various veterans’ groups. He also vol- unteers as a member of the Honor Guard for funerals for deceased veterans. His dedication to our veterans is greatly appreciated.
During Privilege of the Floor this year’s group of Legislative Interns were introduced. They seem like a bright and capable group. Their instructor is John Padlo. He happens to serve as a member of the Cattaraugus County Board of Legislators.
That means he can teach them based upon his first hand experience.
The Board considered and approved 21 reso- lutions. Resolutions #70-15 through #80-15 were consolidated and voted upon simultaneously. To the best of my recollection this is the only time our Board has done this. All eleven resolutions in- volved creating positions within the Health De- partment to fill positions previously handled by a contract with Cornell Cooperative Extension (“CCE”). In December CCE announced that it would no longer contract for those positions as it has for the past 15 years. Public Health Director Lori Ballengee was able to locate supplemental funding so that these positions could be transferred to the County, but without using any local taxpayer funding. She should be congratulated since her ef- forts allow us to maintain these valuable services and programs. The positions created were as fol- lows: full-time nurse, full-time medical records computer operator, full-time public health educa- tor, full-time (2) clerks, part-time community out- reach specialist, full-time WIC program coordinator, full-time registered nurse, full-time outreach specialist, full-time WIC nutritionist, part-time (3) WIC peer counselors, and full-time emergency preparedness specialist.
Resolution #67-15 requested our State Legis- lators to introduce and seek passage of legislation to continue (not increase) the additional one and
one-half percent county sales tax for 3 more years.
Legislator Scott Burt offered an amendment seek- ing to reduce the additional tax rate from 1.5% to 1.35%. That motion failed for lack of a second.
However, several legislators commented that they agreed that taxes should be reduced, but think re- ducing property taxes is more important than re- ducing sales taxes. Resolution #68-15 changed the location of the July 13, 2015 Board meeting from the Legislative Chambers to the County Fair Grounds. Resolution #69-15 confirmed Chairman Crandall’s appointment of Jessica Jennings, Jack Emrick, Michele Henry, Vicky Westacott and Kelly Goble as members of the County Youth Board. Resolutions #81-15 and #82-15 cancelled delinquent taxes on parcels in the Towns of Belfast, Clarksville and Wirt. Resolution #83-15 accepted and appropriated an insurance payment for $4,635 from NYMIR.
Resolution #84-15 accepted grant funding from the NYS Department of Criminal Justice Services for Crime Victim Services in the amount of $21,370.68. Resolution #85-15 accepted the sum of $53,911 as a matching grant from NYS for our Tourism program. Resolution #86-15 trans- ferred $38,000 within Economic Development consulting accounts for various programs. Reso- lution #87-15 expressed our Board’s opposition to Governor Cuomo’s proposed changes to the Indus- trial Development Agency regulations (Part W) as contained in his current Budget proposal. This represents another example of Albany seeking to control everything and dictate its viewpoints to local agencies. All resolutions were unanimously adopted.
This past week has been particularly difficult for me. On Saturday, March 7th I had an accident as I was shoveling snow off the roof of my house.
I lost my footing and slid off the roof, striking my back on a porch railing. My physician determined that I didn’t break any bones or damage any or- gans. It appears there are no permanent injuries.
However, I am extremely sore. I am thankful for God’s protection and mercy. It could easily have been much worse. I have been reminded how quickly our lives can change in totally unexpected ways.

Great job, everyone!
To the Editor:
I usually do not respond to an individual, but Mr. Henry’s letter surprised me because of the ex- tent in which a statement of mine was perceived.
Respectfully, Mr. Henry, I in NO way compared the treatment of students in general to that of African-Americans living under the Jim Crow laws of the South.
My comparison to Jim Crow laws was singular and related solely to the voting date of our village being in March. In speak- ing with hundreds of students this year, we have heard the same question over and over again.
“Why isn’t the election in No- vember like normal?”
By having the election in March, the village, by design, is having the election when a large portion of the population, one campus or the other, is scheduled to be out of town including most students and many professors.
When first discussing this oddity with others years ago, it was ex- pressed to me that this date was by design to make it harder for students to vote. In reading NY state history, such is not the case.
The Spring election dates for villages goes back to the time when many of the participants were farmers who could free up the time in October for cam- paigning due to the harvest.
Now, however, agrarian reasons are not applicable. Alfred is no

longer an agrarian society.
For years, including after the last mayoral election, it was dis- cussed to switch the date to No- vember not only to make it easier for everyone to vote but also to save the Village the expense of administering this additional election. Nothing has happened.
In fact, a couple of meetings ago, I again brought up the topic and the old Alfred fear response was nearly immediate. A Trustee responded that without our own election we would lose our polling place which the county has tried to take away previously.
I did not have an educated re- sponse to this reaction so I in- quired with Allegany County Board of Elections. According to them, there is NO relation what- soever between an election date and polling location.
In discussing this topic for years with many people, it has been referred to as a Jim Crow- esque law because it systemati- cally, obviously and knowingly seeks to disenfranchise a large portion of Alfred’s voting popu- lation. I carefully reviewed the audio tape of the debate to ensure I had not misspoken. Once again, my reference was SOLELY in re- gards to the voting date. This opinion represents the voices of the people being negatively af- fected by our village’s law.
I commend Mr. Henry on a well written letter and his contri- butions to the discussion. In the letter, it is stated that by New York State Law a single family housing unit can consist of four unrelated individuals. Mr. Henry, maybe Alfred does not reside in NY State, because in Alfred you are only allowed 3 unrelated peo- ple per dwelling unless….. The
“unless” is where I have an issue.
Where some landlords are told
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
AN EDITORIAL
they can only have 3 individualsper unit regardless of the unit size others are allowed 4 or 5 without any penalty or threats from the village. We have clear DOUBLE standards in this re- gard. I have brought up this point publicly for years. I have pro- vided the village info from NY state legal opinions where the courts allow for limiting occu- pancy to PRESERVE single fam- ily neighborhoods. In reading other opinions, it appears that in non-R-1 zones that occupancy should be determined using NY State’s housing codes.
Another issue, is if the village using the laws in attempt to re- verse the nature of a neighbor- hood. When reviewing our codes with a village group, we kept seeing examples of village zon- ing codes which would not allow for many of the uses we in fact think are positive in the village.
This review also showed more examples where zoning laws were obviously not enforced on some projects.
By the time this is printed, our election will be complete. Re- gardless of the results, I believe that our village has been changed for the better forever. I would like to thank all of the students that have worked so hard learn- ing the rules of voter registration, absentee balloting and the entire election process. I would also like to thank the schools and fac- ulty for encouraging participa- tion. I would also like to thank my wife for the many hours she has volunteered in helping stu- dents register over the past few years. To students, I say welcome to the process and I hope your participation is just the beginning of fresh and positive change for our village.

Week of March 19-March 25, 2015 ALFRED SUN, PO Box 811, 764 Route 244, Alfred, NY 14802 607-587-8110
ALFRED–The Institute for Electronic Arts in the School of Art and Design at Alfred Uni- versity (AU) will host Buffalo artist Lawrence Brose in residence Monday, March 16 through Friday, March 20.
While in Alfred, Brose, a visiting assistant professor at the University of Buffalo where he teaches photography, will continue a series of work begun on campus last summer with fund- ing from the Rockefeller Foundation, in which he takes high-resolution scans of frames from his film work, processes these images, and pro- duces prints of various types. The funding “al- lowed me to explore a new artistic practice evolving out of my work as a filmmaker,” said Brose.
Also while in Alfred, Brose will explore the use of alternative photography techniques to make cyanotype (blue) prints.
The public is invited to stop by the School of Art and Design throughout the week to watch him at work.
This new series of large-format, film-based Iris prints is culled from Brose’s vast library of collected 8 mm and 16 mm home movies.
“Over the last eight years I had already de- veloped a series of uncommon photochemical processes and extended darkroom techniques that dramatically alter original movie frames,”
he said. “These methods include optically printing the original source images onto 16 mm hi-con movie film stock, then hand-processing and chemically infusing the footage with color.
This exploration is supported by a long tradi- tion of experimental film artists who have
worked directly on the film stock to create forceful imagery as crafted frame by frame.
Committed to producing hand-made films for over 20 years, I find that only now, with digital technology, is it possible to bring this physical aspect of experimental cinema into larger view.”
Brose, as an experimental film artist, has cre- ated over 30 films since 1983. His films have been shown at international film festivals, mu- seums, art galleries, and cinematheques (a film archive with small cinemas that screens partic- ularly classic and art-house films) in the United States, Europe, Asia, Australia and South America. His most recent film, “De Pro- fundis,” has been greeted with critical acclaim and has been screened at more than 60 venues and festivals worldwide since its release. “De Profundis” is a 65-minute hand/alternative processed experimental film based on Oscar Wilde's prison letter with an original score for the film by the American composer Frederic Rzewski.
Brose has recently been invited to place his films and career-related documents on deposit at the George Eastman House, Rochester, NY, as part of its permanent collection.
Brose’s prints are part of several private col- lections. More about Brose and his work may be found by visiting: http://www.lawrence- brose.com/

HOUGHTON–Houghton College welcomes the multi-award winning Christian rock and worship group The City Harmonic, along with opening act Taylor Wilding, to campus at 8 p.m. Friday, March 20 in Wesley Chapel.
Tickets are $10 for the general public and $5 for Houghton College students. General admission and discounted group tickets are available online at iTickets.com.
Originally from Hamilton Ontario, The City Harmonic has quickly become a top rising group in Christian music. The band broke onto the scene in 2011 following the release of their hit single
“Manifesto,” which has served as a rallying cry to believers from all walks of life on the core tenets of the faith.
The Dove Award-nominated group has won nu- merous awards including the GMA’s “New Artist of the Year,” “Group of the Year,” and “Praise and Worship Song of the Year” as well as a Juno award for Christian/Contemporary Gospel Album of the Year.
Today, two full-length albums later—with many accompanying awards and radio successes—The City Harmonic continues to grapple with the strug-
gle of everyday people, crafting it into anthems of longing, hope and, yes, even celebration in the midst of it all.
“It’s easy in the craziness of making music to lose sight of why you started,” says lead singer Elias Dummer. “But we’ve been through a lot to- gether. We’ve traveled the world in a way we never expected, and we’ve seen the beauty of Christ working through this crazy, diverse family we have called the Church. But that hasn’t been without pain….”
For bassist Eric Fusilier, their newest album
“HEART” represents something bigger than just another album.
“It’s always been a dream of mine to be in a band, to write/say something that matters to people in a spiritual sense,” he says. “But this time it was hugely important to me to get it right, to express the raw, guttural frustration, pain and suffering I’ve experienced, and that people around the globe have experienced even more than me, and to give some kind of hope in the midst of it. I love that it’s called ‘HEART’ and that it celebrates the joys and sorrows of life. It’s exactly what we needed to write … a beautiful, raw expression of life.”
WELLSVILLE–Allegany Arc, an agency for the rights and full participation of all children and adults with intellectual and devel- opmental disabilities, invites the public to view their 2015 Arc Art exhibit at the Wellsville Creative Arts Center, 124 North Main Street, Wellsville. Arc Art will be on display until April 14, 2015.
“We are honored to partner with the Wellsville Creative Arts Cen- ter for a seventh year to promote disability awareness, and to en- courage individuals with disabilities to explore new activities and discover their inner artist,” says Carrie Redman, Allegany Arc’s Marketing Director.
“This year’s Arc Art display coincides with Developmental Dis- abilities Awareness Month. Arc Art honors individuals with disabil- ities throughout Allegany County and celebrates their a c c o m - p l i s h - ments by spotlight- ing the tal- ents of a r t i s t s with a w i d e range of physical, cognitive and men- tal health d i s a b i l i - ties,” Red- man said.
O v e r 20 artists are dis- p l a y i n g their work in the Arc Art ex- hibit. The works on d i s p l a y d e m o n - strate an abundance of style and images. The exhibit is as varied in method and expression as the life experiences of the individual artists.
Arc Art is a celebration of self-expression by artists with differing abilities. It is an Allegany Arc sponsored outlet for artists with spe- cial needs to not only express themselves through art, but to raise community awareness of the diversity and value of artistic expres- sion.

BELMONT—‘Ewe’th in- volved in 4-H and FFA on Feb.
28 gathered to test their knowl- edge in livestock production by competing in the Livestock Skill-a-Thon organized by Alle- gany County 4-H and hosted re- cently at the Career and Technical Center at Belmont.
The event focused on four livestock species; hogs, cattle, sheep and goats and asked ques- tions on topics from breed iden- tification and nutrition to animal health and cuts of meat.
Modeled after the state and national 4-H livestock skill-a- thon, this contest and similar events add an essential educa- tional component to youth live- stock projects that will be exhibited at the county fairs this summer. Having events outside of the show ring provide oppor- tunities to win awards based on knowledge, especially for those youth who may be unable to raise their own market animals.
After the contest, students had
Alfred State Drama Club to stage ‘Brothers Grimm
!
Academic All-Stars had close matches around Steuben County Monday night
the opportunity to revisit stations and learn the correct answers.
Students were also able to practice tool identification and watch a demonstration of artifi- cial insemination provided dur- ing breaks.
Top placing contestants won cash prizes, and all participants received educational and promo- tional materials from sponsors and national breed organiza- tions.
This event would not have been possible without the gener- ous support of our local Agribusinesses:
• Allegany County Farm Bureau
• Bellhurst Farm of Cuba
• Giant Food Mart of Cuba
• Hidden Valley Beef of Center- ville
• Lucky Acre Farm Charolais of Friendship
• Pierce Milling of Delevan
• Shamel Milling Company, LLC of East Concord
• S&S Hereford Farm of Cuba
• Tractor Supply Company of
Olean
Congratulations are in order for all of the participants! Win- ners include:
Novice 1st Place: Natalie Brodman 2nd Place: Raymond Erway 3rd Place: Cole Delude
Junior 1st Place: Sarah Beiler 2nd Place: Caitlin Stewart 3rd Place: Kelsey Pierce
Senior 1st Place: Kylie Hint 2nd Place: Hunter Beiler 3rd Place: Mary Joy Cady- Fagan
4-H and FFA both provide positive experiences for youth to develop their potential through agricultural education. Both or- ganizations work to create strong partnerships between youth and future careers through education and leadership oppor- tunities starting at the local or- ganizations and extending to state and national levels.

When Hornell resident Sara Wise found her obstetrician, Dr. Andres Rubert, was joining the JMH Medical Practices and would deliver her baby at Jones Memorial, she was a little nervous. But, after having her son at JMH, she has nothing but praise for the facility, the staff and—most of all—her doctor.
“Dr. Rubert was so calm and caring,” she said, adding that her nurse was with her throughout the delivery. “I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Rubert and Jones Memorial.”
Dr. Rubert sees patients at his office in Hornell, but all deliveries and surgeries take place at Jones Memorial in Wellsville. In addition to obstetrical health care, Dr. Rubert is experienced with minimally invasive laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy with or without bladder suspension surgery; same-day resection of premalignant cervical, ovarian or uterine pathology; same-day (hysteroscopic) endometrial ablation to control heavy menstrual flow; ambulatory laparoscopic sterilization procedures; office Mirena IUD & Nexplanon (subdermal) long-term reversible contraception.
For more information, call Dr. Rubert’s office in Hornell at (607) 324-0640. For a virtual tour of the Maternity Suites at JMH, check out the website: www.jmhny.org.
