Allegany County’s Memorial Day events BY KATHRYN ROSS Memorial Day in Allegany County will be marked by two celebrations leading up to the day and several more reverent memorials across the county. Due to the uncertainty of the COVID-19 restrictions, some communities in the county are foregoing parades and will mark Memorial Day with small ceremonies at local cemeteries and at war memorials in parks — but not in Belfast and Belmont. The two communities have set aside days prior to Memorial Day to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Herbert DeLong American Legion Post 808 in Belmont, while in Belfast the annual festivities and ceremony for the Bare-Knuckle Boxing Museum Hall of Fame Induction will be taking
place. In Belmont, the 100th birthday celebration for the Herbert W. DeLong Post 808 American Legion Parking Lot Party will get started at 2 p.m. Saturday next to the building. All events are open to the community. DJ Rod Evans will entertain. There will be 50/50 raffles, kid’s games, bowling, horseshoes, corn hole and a bake sale. At 9:30 p.m. the Hintz of Thunder band will perform. There will also be a fi reworks display, which will be visible from within the village Belmont. Social distancing guidelines apply. No parade has been scheduled and memorial services by the Legion will take place in Memorial Park on Memorial Day. North on Route 19 in Belfast the annual festivities
for the Bare-Knuckle Boxing Hall of Fame will be taking place throughout the weekend starting with a car show at 5:30 p.m. Friday on Hughes Street, followed by a street dance in the park at 8 p.m. Yard sales will take place throughout the weekend. On Memorial Day there will be a parade at 11 a.m. followed by a salute to veterans in the park. There will be a chicken barbecue at the fi re department at noon. Angelica Memorial Day services will take place on Monday with the traditional march along Main Street to the Until the Day Dawn Cemetery for ceremonies at the Civil War monument. The parade will step off from the intersection of West Main and Olean Street at 9 a.m. In Canaseraga a parade
has been scheduled for 9 a.m. Memorial Day followed by a service honoring veterans at the American Legion Fawcett Post 1582. The fi refighters will host a chicken barbecue at noon until gone. In Cuba, a Memorial Day Parade is scheduled for 10 a.m. followed by a memorial service for veterans in the Genesee Parkway park. While no Memorial Day parade has been scheduled in Scio on Sunday, all eyes will be turned to the Coca Cola 600 or the NTT INDYCAR Series Indianapolis 500 where two drivers will be honoring the memory of Scio’s Medal of Honor recipient, U.S. Marine Cpl. Jason Dunham. NASCAR driver Kurt Busch will honor Dunham

of others across the state to make the call to close up, including Cattaraugus and Erie counties just days earlier. On July 2, Western New York entered Phase IV of reopening — which allowed for festivals and fairs — but the two-week timetable was too short to allow for planning the fair for a 2020 opening, and limits of attendance to just 50 people at a time complicated matters. Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced in April that the New York State Fair would be able to run, giving Allegany County Fair organizers reserved hope for this year’s event in Angelica. The governor announced Monday that county fairs would be permitted with permits from the local county health department. Fairs with more than 5,000 attendees will require approval from the state Department of Health.

ANGELICA — “The Fair with the Country Smile” left many beaming on May 19 after it was reported the Allegany County Fair is on for July. In a statement released Wednesday afternoon, the Allegany County Agricultural Society, which operates the fair and fairgrounds, announced dates for the event after months of concern over COVID-19 restrictions. “We are excited to be working on plans for the 176th Allegany County Fair,” officials said. “Please be patient as we work on our fair schedule. We will be posting our plans as they are fi nalized.” The fair will run from July 19 to 24, officials reported In late May 2020, officials made the call to postpone the 176th running of the fair.

Did you know? According to the American Cancer Society, recent research has found that sleeping problems associated with cancer treatment persist in almost 40 percent of cancer survivors for up to five years after diagnosis. The 2019 study, published in the journal Sleep Medicine, also found that one-fi fth
of cancer survivors reported poor sleep quality at nine years after diagnosis. In fact, high sleep disturbance was reported by 51 percent of long-term cancer survivors. The researchers studied more than 1,900 long-term cancer survivors nine years after diagnosis, and participants had one
of 10 common cancers, including cancers of the breast, prostate, bladder, kidney, and lung. It’s especially important for cancer survivors to recognize the potential for sleep problems after successful treatment, as the Mayo Clinic notes that sufficient rest is a vital component of patients’ recovery.
Survivors experiencing difficulty sleeping after successful cancer treatments can discuss their issues with their physicians, who may recommend certain sleep aides or strategies to increase patients’ chances of gett ing more restful sleep.

Wellsville’s $31.57M school budget passed easily WELLSVILLE — While the voting turnout was less than in previous years, residents voted six times more yes than no to approve the Wellsville Central School District budget vote Tuesday. The 2021-22 proposed budget passed handily with a vote tally of 222-36. “The number of voters has been going down for the last few years,” said Dawn Youmans, district clerk. The budget for 2021-22 is about $31.57 million, a reduction of $644,401 from the current school year’s budget. Both the tax levy and the budget represent a 2% decrease for residents. The tax levy reduction is $164,441 in local tax dollars. Superintendent David Foster said the reductions were largely achieved through the cost of equipment expenses for the capital project being reimbursed by the Smart Schools Bond Act funded by the state. Proposition 2 calling for the purchase of two 70-passenger conventional buses, at a total maximum cost of $300,000, was also approved by voters, 212-47. Three candidates ran unopposed for the three seats they currently occupy on the board of education. Heather Gill received 218 votes, Bryan Gamache received 224 votes and Ronald “Keith” Loines received 218 votes. The official reorganization
of the board of education and acceptance of the district wide vote will take place prior to the regular board meeting on July 6. In other school district business, there will be no school on May 28-31 for Memorial Day. However, the district will be hosting the annual District Art Show at the David A. Howe Library May 28-June 10. While there will be no opening night reception, the show will be open to the public based on the library’s hours and policy. The annual Senior Art Show, showcasing the work of 12 graduating students, will take place at the secondary school from June 8-21. Senior trip activities will take place over three days starting June 18 when the seniors will travel to Darian Lake. Graduation is scheduled to take place at the Wellsville Municipal Airport at 7 p.m. June 25. The last day of school for regular students is June 24. ELSEWHERE IN Allegany County: Bolivar-Richburg The $20.48 million budget was approved, 98-17. A resolution for new buses was approved, 104-12, and a resolution to support the Genesee Library was approved, 93-20.
