Len Herpst retires after 29 years Tots give Christmas play When Len Herpst first came to work as a printer at the Arcade Herald 29 years ago, the paper was owned and edited by the late Paul Doris and printed in the shop at the paper’s Main Street location. Since Len started he has seen the Herald pass through the hands of several different owners and editors. For a while it became the Tri- County Times, then reverted to its original name in 1981. Len, too, has gone through several changes in respon sibility over the years, start ing out as a printer and en ding his distinguished career as advertising representa tive, a position he nas held since January of 1983. “Len has done a terrific iob for us,” says the Herald’s editor and publisher, Kath leen Mason. “You can always count on Len,” says Carole Jones, ad vertising manager. “He’d never let you down, and he has always been friendly and professional.” Herpst first joined the staff of the Herald in November of 1957. “We used a great big sheetbed press in those days. Then we got a big old web press. Finally, we started sending the paper out to be printed,” he recalls. \I was primarily a pressman, but I did a little bit of everything, some typesetting, some sales, a few repairs, a lot of er rands. I guess you could call me a jack of all trades.” “Len has always had a great attitude,” Carole Jones recalls. “It didn’t mat ter what his title was or his official responsibilities were. If a job needed doing, he would pitch in and help out.” After his retirement, Len and h is wife of 43 years, the former Genevieve Lambert of Franklinville, plan to stay in Arcade. “We might do a little traveling,” Len says. He also plans to devote more time to his hobby of woodworking and refinishing antique fur niture. “I’m going to relax and just let the chips fall where they may.” The Herpsts have no plans to move. They want to stay close to their son, Daniel, who works as a computer programmer in Rochester. “Besides, we’ve been to Flori da a few times. It’s nice enough, but it’s not Arcade. The warmth of the people around here more than The Arcade Herald’s publisher and editor, Kathy Mason, presents a gold watch to Len Herpst to honor his 29 years o f service as a newspaper employee.

I wouldn’t really want to live anywhere else.” As Len looks back his years with the Herald, he remem bers the people best. “I’ve worked with some wonderful people, and I’ve met some great people as customers. They've been good days. The people have definitely been the best part of this job. “I’m not really a salesman at heart,” Len adds. “But the Herald is a good newspaper, and it really sells itself. I just drop by to remind folks that a nice ad might boost busi ness.” The staff of the Arcade Herald honored Len at a retirement dinner on Decem ber 19 and presented him with a gold watch to honor his 29 years as the paper’s senior employee. “We’re really going to miss you, Len, ’ Kathy Mason told him as she presented the watch. A diner a t a nearby table stop ped by to wish Len well. “We’ll miss you, too, ” she told him. Forty young performers from the Rhymes and Reasons Nursery School en tertained an audience of 200 at their first annual Christmas play on December 18. The three and four-year- olds sang favorite Christmas songs and enacted a nativity tableau complete with angels, shepherds, sheep ana a donkey. As the scene ended the audience joined the chil dren in singing “Silent Night.” “At that moment, the feel ing of Christmas was felt by everyone,” says Janet Cam- pagna, who directed the play along with another teacher, • Chic Yoder. “Congratulations to the children for a job well done.” Sardinia decides against appeal o f solid waste decision The town board of Sardinia voted unanimously at its December 10 meeting not to appeal the ruling by State Supreme Court Justice Nor man E. Joslin that its con troversial solid waste or dinance is unconstitutional. Board members expressed regret about the decision, but decided that an appeal would be expensive, impractical and unlikely to succeed. The board decided instead to work on a new landfill con tainment ordinance that would limit the size of landfill operations in the town. The board signed a new, three-year snowplowing con tract with Erie County that will pay $1000 per lane mile, a $40 per mile increase. The new contract will expire at the end of 1989. A resolution supporting the efforts of the Southtowns Planning and Development Group to obtain state funding for a feasibility study of a southtowns solid waste transfer system was adopted.
