Allegany County’s lost treasure: Cuba/ Wellsville carousel in NYS Museum
Photo by New York State Museum After refurbishing the Cuba Carousel the New York State Museum in Albany permanently placed it in its Terrace Gallery in 2011. Photo by Kathryn Ross Around 40 people attended Wednesday’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative meeting at the David A. Howe Public Library in Wellsville.
Wellsville called ‘good bet’ for DRI funding; community seeks ideas for application BY KATHRYN ROSS WELLSVILLE — Several dozen residents of the village and town attended a meeting Nov. 17 in which application criteria for the state’s multimillion-dollar Downtown Revitalization Initiative were outlined. John Simmins, associate provost for research and economic development at Alfred University, is one of the facilitators working with local communities on DRI projects. Impressed with Wellsville’s downtown, he
told the crowd at the David A. Howe Public Library, “Most of the big communities across the state have already gotten money from the DRI, so it seems like a good bet that Wellsville would qualify.” Among the communities which have received DRI funding for projects include Hornell, Geneva, Batavia, Olean and Oneonta. The program is in its fi fth year and Simmins expects that it will once again be in the state budget when it passes next spring. “Our new governor is from
Western New York, and she knows how much this area needs funding for revitalization,” he said. The DRI program will invest $200 million in up to 20 downtowns across the state. Funding awarded to municipalities has been $10 million, with the municipalities providing their own match for development. The village of Wellsville, under Mayor Randy Shayler and guided by businessman Mike Raptis, has been looking at the DRI program for several months. Shayler
said, in either December or January, he will appoint a DRI committee to suggest projects for the application, which would be due in late spring. Until then the public is urged to submit ideas for projects to be funded under the DRI umbrella. While each project suggestion has to be in the $100,000 range, Simmins said that almost anything is eligible, pointing out that after he had trouble fi nding a parking

BY KATHRYN ROSS Older “kids” will remember spending hot summer days and breezy nights at the pavilion and amusement park once located on the North Shore of Cuba Lake. While some memories of swing- and rock ‘n’ rollfueled dances fade, others of going round and round and catching the brass ring may be recaptured by a simple trip to Albany. The Bolivar Fan Page on Facebook recently recounted, “Around 1900, Cuba Lake’s shoreline began its slow development into a recreation and resort space and for much of the 20th century the Olivecrest Pavilion on the North Shore was the heart of a recreational complex.” A big part of the complex was the 48-foot diameter carousel featuring 36 handcarved horses, ornate chariots and tubs, donkeys and deer. The carousel was originally built by the CWF Dare NY Carousal Manufacturing Company of Brooklyn in 1895. Around 1914, the HerschellSpillman Company of North
Tonawanda updated the carousel and installed the figures on a larger, more modern machine. The horses and other figures moved up and down while the base moved round and round. In 1915 the Stadel brothers of Wellsville purchased the carousel. Well into the 1930s the entrepreneurs used it as a traveling carousel, taking it from town to town across Western New York and northern Pennsylvania and sett ing it up in temporary locations for the entertainment of all. It was one of the largest traveling carousels in the country. In 1933, Fenton Olive, who had built the popular Olivecrest pavilion and amusement park on Cuba Lake, purchased the carousel from the Stadel brothers. For the next 40 years the permanently placed carousel delighted children of all ages. As time progressed it became more lucrative to sell the land where the park and

Miles enjoys moment in NYS Baseball Hall spotlight BY SAM WILSON Bernie Williams. Mookie Wilson. Dennie Miles? The former longtime Wellsville baseball boss rubbed elbows with some elite company last weekend. Miles was part of the New York State Baseball Hall of Fame’s Class of 2021 enshrined on Sunday in Troy. Inductees this year included former Yankees (Williams and Bobby Richardson), Mets (Cleon Jones and Wilson), famed documentarian Ken Burns, former Mets public relations director Jay Horowitz and a former Yankees bullpen coach, Dom Scala. Miles said he enjoyed hearing stories from Scala’s time with the Yankees, an era that included the rise of mercurial owner George Steinbrenner, manager Billy Martin and stars like Reggie Jackson and Graig Nettles. “To hear him tell stories about his experiences with them was incredible,” Miles said. But the hall made room for a coach from a small town in Allegany County this year, and his fellow inductees made Miles feel welcome. “I met every one of them and I did have some time to have a little bit of a dialogue with them, but just general stuff,” he said. “Those people when they come into a room, it’s like EF Hutton showing up, everybody just flocks to them and they didn’t have a whole lot of time for me separately. “But one thing I was so impressed with Bernie Williams is that I had a 10-minute period for my acceptance speech and I’m looking down at Bernie, of course, to the first table and he never took his eyes off me the entire time. I was so impressed, because I’m a nobody to him, and that he would have that kind of interest in what I was saying, that’s the kind of character that he is.” Miles said 17 friends and family members accompanied him for the ceremony. He took time in his speech to recognize each of them. First hearing about his induction in February, he had more than six months to write a speech. The speech earned a standing ovation from the audience. “It took six months for me to ponder and fret and worry about what am I going to say,” he said. “Basically, what I did is I said I don’t have any Yankee stories to tell, I don’t have any New York Mets stories to tell, so I’m therefore going to focus on the people that are with me today, people that are close to my heart. “I introduced every one of them and told the history of each and how important they were to me in my life and it went over very well. I spoke from the heart and I think that touched a lot of people.” THE ENTIRE NYS Baseball
away these memories as well. “For me at this stage of my life, that’s just as important as the wins. I’ve been blessed with so many of both, a lot of friends and a lot of great memories that we all are going to share. I’ve had so many people tex ting me of things that happened when they were coming through the program. For me that’s what it’s all about at my age.” The hall of fame recognition reflects not just on Miles, but countless players, coaches, parents and other supporters, he said. “I’ve just been a piece of the puzzle, there’s been so many people that have shared in all the success that we’ve had,” Miles said. “I’ve often said that I’m the head coach but there’s so many people that have been the backbone of both programs and the heart and soul of the programs. This isn’t just an honor for me; it’s an honor for anyone
that’s had anything to do with those programs.”
Provided Dennie Miles meets former Mets star Mookie Wilson during the New York State Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Sunday in Troy. Hall of Fame experience left Miles impressed. “It was just so high class; for instance, they had a dress code and if you didn’t have a shirt and tie on or at least a sports coat, you didn’t get in,” he said. “When’s the last time you ever saw that happen? So it was very high class, well done and was just a very humbling experience for me. If you look back on their web page, to see all the people that have been inducted before me and to know the pool that they can draw from, it’s just incredible the people that eventually could be in this hall of fame.” Miles has 749 coaching wins, second all-time in the state, in a sill-active career
• Wood • Coal • Pellet • Corn • Fireplaces • Boilers • Furnaces • Liners • Hearth Products • Stove & Chimney Pipe • Custom Log Homes • Log Siding • Rough Cut Lumber • Firewood • Wood Pellets
that’s spanned more than four decades. He retired from his longtime post as athletic director and coach at Wellsville in 2018, but couldn’t quit the game. Instead, he accepted a position in Avoca and won a 2019 Section 5 championship, his 13th in career. “As you get older, wins are still important to me, but as time goes by they fade away and what you’re left with is a lot of memories and a lot of friends,” Miles said. “I think that’s what drives me right now. The wins are going to come and go. But man, the friendships and the memories that not only I’m going to take away, but the kids, the parents and supporters that have been a part of the program, they’re going to take

Are you ready for a good night's sleep? The Sleep Disorder Center at Jones can help you get there! WELLSVILLE, NY –Do you have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep? Do you wake up groggy? Feel drowsy during the day? Maybe it’s time to talk to your healthcare provider about a referral to the Jones Memorial Hospital Sleep Disorder Center. A sleep disorder is more than just being tired. If you don’t get enough sleep, you are at risk for a number of chronic health conditions including asthma, heart attack, and high blood pressure. A sleep study can identify the reasons you are not gett ing the rest you need. These can include restless
legs syndrome, narcolepsy, insomnia, or the most common problem cause of sleep deprivation: Sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is snoring interrupted by periods of silence, gasping, or choking during sleep. As the soft tissues and muscles in and around the throat relax, the airway becomes narrower, causing snoring and breathing difficulties. If these muscles relax too much, the airway can become completely blocked and prevent breathing. After a short period of time—ten seconds to two minutes—the brain realizes there is a lack of oxygen and alerts the body to wake up.
Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder – especially for people who have had a stroke or heart attack, or have diabetes, hypothyroidism, or high blood pressure. “People who have these conditions are more likely to have sleep apnea and should strongly consider having a sleep study,” said Brenda Mong Szabo, Vice President of Specialty Services at Jones Memorial. Sleep apnea can occur hundreds of times during the night. During a sleep study, the person is attached to 25 leads that record their brain waves, blood oxygen level, heart rate, breathing, and eye
and leg movements. This information is used to by a sleep medicine physician to make a diagnosis and recommend the best course of treatment. With sleep apnea as the most common sleep disorder, often the answer is CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy, which delivers a lightly pressurized air through a small nose mask during sleep. Other options for treating sleep apnea include removal of tonsils and adenoids, oral appliances, weight loss, surgery, or the Inspire system for qualified candidates. For more information

“The money is awarded to projects that you are really going to do,” he said. The projects all have to be included in a zone around the downtown area. The projects can cross the boundary between village and town and in some cases the state has allowed an additional area to be looked at. The initial step, prior to the appointment of a
committee, is to get ideas “for real honest to gosh projects,” he said. What the funding can’t be used for includes planning activities, operation and maintenance, the purchase of land and training programs. The projects, Simmins said, should enhance Wellsville’s downtown in an
effort to bring more people into the area. Some of the projects suggested at Wednesday’s meeting included fi nishing the Rauber building and preserving the former Erie Railroad depot. It was also suggested that a car wash, including a dog wash, be developed on the vacant lot south of the old Air Preheater building on South
Main Street. A dog park was also suggested, while the biggest project suggested was construction of a new wastewater treatment plant, which was brought up by the mayor. Ideas for projects should be submitted by email to simmins@alfred.edu or to Raptis at miraptis@aol.com as soon as possible.

Regular firearms season for deer, bear opens Saturday BY RICK MILLER Acorns often are a key to a successful deer hunt. In 2021, with New York’s big game game season gett ing underway Saturday, acorns are hard to fi nd. The gypsy moth caterpillar took a toll on many stands of oak across the Southern Tier this year. After being defoliated by the caterpillars, many oak trees grew back leaves, but they had difficulty generating acorns. As a result, the fall acorn crop is poor. Ryan Rockefeller, a big game wildlife biologist with the state Department of Environmental Conservation in Region 9, said the poor crop means, “If you are lucky enough to fi nd some acorns, you will be set” during the regular fi rearms season for deer and bear. The saving grace for deer and other animals that rely on mast crops is that this appeared to have been a good year for beechnuts that some deer will eat as a substitute. Most apples are already gone. Most hunters have scouted their hunting grounds by now, looking for deer scrapes and other signs of deer activity. Since it’s time for the rut the deer are moving. Many deer will be in that bottom land eating browse. “The deer herd seems to be in good shape,” Rockefeller said. “Most people across Region 9 are seeing plenty of deer. A lot of nice bucks have been taken in the archery season.” He said there seems to be a lot of 2- and 3-year-old deer in the field — including bucks. The DEC campaign to encourage hunters to
consider passing on young bucks seems to be paying off with more opportunities for older bucks with larger racks, Rockefeller said. “I passed on a couple of yearlings and a 2-year-old this year,” he added. There’s an ample amount of does as well, Rockefeller said. Last year the doe take was up by one-third. “Last year was a big harvest,” he said. “You hunt the does and you will fi nd the bucks” in this rut, Rockefeller said. The warm October weather kept deer from moving around, which may also bode well for hunters. The October deer harvest by archers was down from last year, Rockefeller said. Part of that may have been hunters’ reluctance to shoot a deer they would need to gut and try to keep cool in near-70-degree weather. In addition, there was a larger number of hunters last year. Rockefeller said the requirement this year that all hunters wear a fluorescent orange or pink coat, vest or hat will result in increased hunter safety. While most hunters would wear some orange or pink during the gun season in the past, it is now required. The addition of a halfhour before sunrise and a half-hour after sunset to the hunting time should result in more successful hunters, since that time is when deer are often most visible, Rockefeller said. It won’t negatively impact hunter safety if they use their discretion when it comes to a safe shot. Rockefeller said the
addition of 12- and 13-year-old hunters in areas that opted into the new state law — as Cattaraugus and Allegany counties did — will expose these new hunters at an early age to give them an appreciation of the sport AND Hunting with their parents. There are many other activities that compete for the time of this age group. Again this year, the DEC is urging hunters to use their mobile app in reporting their big game harvest. “We urge hunters to use the mobile app or the internet,” said Rockefeller. They can also call it in. “The mobile app is more of a help to hunters,” he said. The rate of hunters reporting their harvest is what drives statistics, Rockefeller said. “It’s the most important part of what we do as managers.” Hunters northbound on Route 16 south of Holland in Erie County are asked to stop at the DEC deer checking station to report their deer to DEC technicians directly. The checking station will be open Saturday from noon to 8 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Alfred State’s Day of Giving raises over $230,000 Thanks to another amazing show of support from alumni, faculty, staff, and friends, Alfred State College (ASC) was able to raise $231,525 this year during its sixth annual Day of Giving. Funds donated from this yearly event benefit scholarships, new programs, updated technology, athletics, and so much more. A Decade Challenge highlighted the 2021 Day of Giving. Alumni & friends were encouraged to indicate a decade to support. The ‘50s/’60s took home the bragging rights with 135 donors and will be recognized with a brick in the alumni plaza and acknowledged in the 2021 alumni magazine. The ‘70s were a close second with
103 donors and the ‘80s had 66 donors. Alfred State Director of Development Jason Sciott i, said, “This year’s Day of Giving brought some fun and excitement back to the campus. Students fi lled the Student Leadership Center throughout the day with our clubs and organizations providing activities, food, and entertainment. We really wanted to get back to teaching our students what the day means and how philanthropy is so important to the success of our students. The most enjoyable part of our annual Day of Giving was having our students sign the thank you donor banner.”
He continued, “With overwhelming support and generosity, we were able to not only reach but exceed our goal of more than 400 donors. The day was a success and that only happens when the campus community and our donors come together. A sincere thanks to them all.” Throughout the week, the Institutional Advancement Office requested nonperishable and personal care items to help replenish the on-campus food pantry, the PLATE. The PLATE is a joint initiative of Student Senate and the Center for Civic Engagement seeking to address the challenge of food insecurity.

Graduate Success for Alfred State Surveying Makes Headlines in National Magazine County Carousel The leading national publication for surveying professionals, Point of Beginning magazine, is focusing attention on the value of an education through the Alfred State College (ASC) Surveying and Geomatics program. The article highlights Alfred State’s hands-on approach to prepare students and connections to the industry. “I have had 11 companies contact me in the last three months, most with multiple positions for seven graduates of the BS program,” said Erin Vitale, the chair of the civil engineering technology department, while explaining the importance of staying connected with employers
ready to hire graduates. Members of the college’s Industrial Advisory Board are very active. “They come every spring and we tell them about the students’ accomplishments. (If) we want to make a change to any of the curriculum, we get their input before we make it. And it also gives them (the opportunity) to come to us and say, ‘hey we’re seeing this (trend) in the field, and we think your students should get exposed to this somewhere,’” she says. Within the Civil Engineering Technology department, Alfred State offers degrees in Surveying
Engineering Technology (AAS), Surveying and Geomatics Engineering Technology (BS), Construction Engineering Technology (AAS), Construction Management (BS), and Construction Supervision (BTech). Point of Beginning (POB) helps land surveyors and geomatics professionals in the surveying business succeed through coverage of new technologies and opportunities. POB offers practical solutions to surveying and mapping problems, while keeping readers up to date on business strategies, the law, and education.

pavilion were located for residential development. The Bolivar Fan Page recounts, “In 1948 Bill Rasmusson buys Olivecrest and in 1955 Dar Barnes of Wellsville purchases the aging complex. In 1961 Wesley “Red” Wakefield becomes the last owner of the lake complex. He closes the facility at the end of summer in 1970 and sells the amusement rides.” In the early 1970s, the carousel was dismantled and sold to the New York State Museum. Today the old Cuba
Carousel dances round and round in the Terrace Gallery of the museum in Albany. It features 40 animals, including 36 horses of three sizes and in various poses, and two deer and two donkeys. “The substitution of other animals for horses was a mark of distinction among carousels, as was the Neptune’s Chariot, a decoratively carved seat,” a museum narrative states. “A second chariot and a round tub are also on the carousel. The animals were placed on the carousel in three rows, with the largest and fanciest animals on the outside. The animals on the outside also featured inset jewels that glitter when caught by the light. A total of fi ft y people could ride at one time.” The original Wurlitzer band organ that had been

Contractor quickly assembling I-86 culvert that led to closing BY RICK MILLER The emergency culvert replacement project that has closed Interstate 86 between Exits 23 and 24 for the past three weeks, requiring a 7-mile detour, is progressing quickly. I-86 closed on Oct. 28 after the New York Department of Transportation hired standby contractor, Catco Construction of Alden, to replace the culvert in a fiveweek window. The project can be seen by passersby from South Nine Mile Road in the town Carrollton. A number of boxes that fit together to form the culvert
have already been lowered into a trench carved out by large excavators. The boxes have been connected across most of the eastbound lanes. About two months ago, DOT engineers were alerted to a settling along the side of I-86 above a culvert at Chipmonk Creek. The culvert under both the eastbound and westbound lanes was showing signs of deterioration that could have led to a catastrophic failure — possibly over the winter months. Plans were made to complete the engineering for the plans as soon as possible and replace the culvert before winter. A detour route over Route
417 was established between Seneca Junction and West Five Mile Road in Allegany. Additional traffic signals to facilitate traffic were set on Route 219 at the eastbound exit at Exit 23, at Routes 219 and 417 and at Route 417 and West Five Mile Road. Westbound traffic exits at Exit 24 in Allegany. Route 417 is carrying many of the 12,750 vehicles who used I-86 daily between Exits 23 and 24, plus most of the 3,250 vehicles that used the road between Allegany and Seneca Junction every day. Crews work Thursday to replace the culvert on Interstate 86 between Exits 23 at Seneca Junction and 24 in Allegany.
Practical Steps to Plan a Remodel
(Family Features) If you’re planning a home remodeling project but don’t know where to start, you’re not alone. Starting any remodel or renovation can be nerve-wracking, but having the right steps in place, from picking the project to smart fi nancing strategies, can lessen the stress. Before beginning any project, homeowners should consider what projects they want to prioritize, what they can afford and smart fi nancial solutions to pay for it all. This can help you complete the project on time, on budget and with less stress. Do Your Research Part of being prepared for a renovation project is doing your research. That means considering design and material options that reflect your personal tastes and what might add the greatest value to your lifestyle and home. It’s also important to plan ahead for factors like long lead times for contractors or supplies. Establish a Budget Before you begin planning a project, determine what you can afford. If your list of upgrades is larger than your budget allows, consider a short-term budget and a
long-term one so you can tackle some smaller projects more immediately and save the bigger renovations until you’ve had a chance to save or secure additional fi nancing. Set a Financial Strategy Sett ing a budget and determining your fi nancial strategy aren’t quite the same thing. Once you have a budget set, you’ll need to decide how to pay for the work. According to a survey by online lender LightStream, savings accounts provide at least some capital for about 66% of homeowners who plan to renovate. However, in today’s uncertain economy, depleting a savings account may make you nervous, especially if you’re tapping into an emergency fund. Credit cards are a fi nancial strategy about 30% of homeowners will use. However, unless card charges are paid off quickly, you may end up carrying that debt for years, making your project much more expensive due to high interest rates over a long repayment timeline. An unsecured consumer loan, like those provided by LightStream, may be another fi nancing option and can often save thousands in interest charges compared to credit cards. Homeowners
with good credit can borrow up to $100,000 at fi xed rates with no fees. Funds can be deposited directly into customers’ bank accounts as soon as the day they apply and can be used to pay for any renovation service, fi nishes or products. Prioritize Projects With your budget in mind, you can turn your attention to which renovations to prioritize. When possible, begin with your home’s most immediate needs, even if they may not be the most exciting projects. Go for lasting impacts rather than cosmetic fi xes. Repairing a leaky roof or crumbling foundation may not be as dreamy as creating a chef’s kitchen, but it’s important to make sure the projects you elect to do sooner set you up for success - and improved home values - later.
Beyond critical repairs, the survey found the most popular projects homeowners planned this year include kitchen (38%) and bathroom remodels (32%). Building home offices also jumped in popularity as the pandemic drove a focus on upgrading remote workspace, doubling to more than 26% of planned projects. Consider the Environment For many homeowners, Mother Nature plays a role as to which renovations are prioritized. About 35% of survey respondents said they plan to invest in projects that improve their outdoor living spaces. When it comes to indoor improvements, consumers are interested in incorporating eco-friendly and
sustainable products such as smart systems, energyefficient lighting, solar panels, air and water fi ltration systems, insulated windows and other money-saving, ecosensitive products. Many people are also choosing to work with companies that are committed to environmental responsibility.
For example, through a partnership with American Forests, LightStream plants a tree every time it funds a loan, totaling more than 1 million trees planted across the United States. Find more advice to get your home improvement project underway at Lightstream.com/remodel.

Remodel with Universal Design in Mind
(Family Features) Local code ensures new construction homes and renovation projects reflect the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Universal design, on the other hand, does more than make living spaces more accessible for those with disabilities. It expands on regulations to create more user-friendly spaces regardless of abilities, resulting in more enjoyable, functional design. Often, when people think of universal design, they’re thinking of design that reflects the needs of seniors who wish to age in place. That’s not always the case; universal design can also benefit families with special needs or simply serve as a smart investment for the future. Principles of Universal Design To better understand universal design and how it might apply to your project, consider how the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) describes the seven principles of universal design: 1. Equitable use: The design is useful for people with diverse abilities. 2. Flexibility: A wide range of individual preferences and abilities are accommodated. 3. Simple and intuitive: The design is easy to understand regardless of the user’s experience, knowledge, language skills or current concentration level. 4. Perceptible information: Any necessary information is effectively communicated to the user. 5. Tolerance for error: Recognizing the possibility of accidents, the design minimizes potential hazards. 6. Low physical effort: The design can be used efficiently and comfortably and with minimal fatigue. 7. Size and space: An appropriate size and space is provided and isn’t affected by the user’s body size, posture or mobility. Trends in Universal Design The line between practical universal design and convenience features that drive up a room’s “cool factor” is growing increasingly blurry, according to Gary
Grabowski, owner of Greater Home Services and a NARI Universal Design Certified Professional (UDCP). One example is curbless showers, which eliminates a wheelchair barrier with an appealing design element. In fact, bathrooms are among the highest demand remodeling projects Grabowski sees, especially for people whose mobility is affected, either personally or for a loved one who visits the home. Other examples of ontrend universal design in the bathroom are floating, wallhung vanities. Grabowski said the open floor space that design creates is enticing whether you need to be able
to roll a wheelchair under it or not. Other on-trend upgrades, such as motion-activated fi xtures like fans, faucets and touch controls for showers, may feel like a bit of luxury in the short-term but could serve an accessibility role down the road. In other parts of the house, luxury vinyl plank flooring continues to grow in popularity. Not only is it practical and easy to clean, it’s appealing from a design standpoint and also offers a barrier-free advantage. Gett ing Started with Universal Design Because most homeowners only explore universal design when there’s a specific
need, the world of options is largely unknown. That’s why Grabowski recommends enlisting the help of a UDCP. “Knowing universal design and the features that enhance accessibility for all kinds of scenarios, I can suggest ideas that people have never thought of to make a living space easier to use,” he said. Grabowski also suggests starting at least a year out so you can make plans from a big picture perspective, including ancillary projects that could make your project even more successful.

The connection between myocarditis, COVID-19 and sports
Life as the world knew it was put on hold in the winter of 2019-20. The outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 that began in China soon spread across the globe, forcing many governments to hit the proverbial pause button. As the world paused in the hopes of preventing the potentially deadly virus from spreading, professional and amateur athletic events were canceled or postponed. In March, the organizing body behind the 2020 Summer Olympics postponed the global sports competition until July 2021, while professional sports leagues, including the English Premier League, the National Basketball Association and Major League Baseball, all postponed their seasons. Those seasons eventually resumed in the late spring or summer of 2020, but fears concerning the health of athletes persisted in spite of the return to action. One of the more notable concerns about competing in athletics during the pandemic is the potential connection between COVID-19 and the heart condition myocarditis. According to Hackensack
Meridian Health, two studies published in the journal JAMA Cardiology revealed that patients who have recovered from COVID-19 may show signs of heart damage. That damage may be present weeks or even months after recovery. Boston Red Sox pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez, who began the shortened MLB season on the injured list after testing positive for COVID-19, ultimately decided to sit out the entire season after being diagnosed with myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart that can have long-term consequences. Concerns about myocarditis was behind some of the fear associated with playing the 2020 college football season. In mid-August, Brian Hainline, MD, the chief medical officer of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, acknowledged he was aware of a dozen cases of myocarditis among NCAA athletes. Concerns about myocarditis were a factor in the decision by the Big 10 and Pac 12 conferences to postpone their 2020 seasons in August. (Editor’s Note: At press time, the Big 10 decided to begin its 2020 season in late October, while the Pac12 remained undecided.)
It’s important to note that many viral infections can cause myocarditis, and researchers point out that mild cases of heart inflammation can get better on their own. However, it’s vital that athletes and their families recognize the potential threat posed by myocarditis and other potential heart-related side effects of COVID-19. For example, Hackensack Meridian Health Notes that COVID-19 can make existing heart conditions worse. In addition, the Mayo Clinic notes that severe myocarditis can lead to heart failure, heart attack or stroke, rapid or abnormal heart rhythms, and even sudden cardiac death. Athletes face difficult decisions regarding whether or not to return to competition during the pandemic.
Understanding the potential dangers of doing so, including the risk for myocarditis, can help athletes make the most informed decisions possible.
Drivers delaying vehicle maintenance Many drivers recognize the importance of vehicle maintenance, but a significant percentage of drivers are putting off taking timely care of their cars and trucks. IMR Inc. surveys 25,000 households each quarter, asking participants how they have serviced and maintained their vehicles. In the first quarter of 2020, much of which occurred prior to the
declaration of a global pandemic, nearly 18 percent of respondents indicated they had delayed vehicle repairs or maintenance. IMR classified “delayed maintenance” as repairs and maintenance that vehicle owners intentionally put off despite knowing the vehicles needed them. That conscious decision to delay maintenance and repairs could prove costly in the long
run, as adhering to a routine maintenance schedule is a great way to ensure cars stay on the road longer. In addition, adhering to manu fa c t u re r-re com me nd e d
maintenance schedules is a great way to discover minor issues before they escalate into larger, more costly concerns.

New sculpture to be installed in front of Tri-County Arts Council BY KELLEN M. QUIGLEY OLEAN — A new piece of art created by a local sculptor could soon catch the eyes of drivers and pedestrians alike on West State Street. A sculpture created by Glenn Zweygardt, a member and benefactor of the Tri-County Arts Council, is expected to be installed on the sidewalk in front of the council’s home at 110 W. State Street in the coming weeks. Mikel Wintermantel, executive co-director of the arts council, said sculptures by Zweygardt are found across the country but the sculptor has wanted to install one in Olean for several years. “He’s really gung-ho about it,” Wintermantel said of Zweygardt. “He’d like to put them all over the place.” The opportunity to install a sculpture in front of the council’s building came about after one of the three trees there had died, Wintermantel explained. When the open block was fi lled in with concrete, he reached out to Keri Kerper, the city’s program coordinator, with their alternative idea. “She came back 15 minutes later with the mayor and said to talk to the Common Council when we’re ready,” he said. “Boy, that was efficient.” At its regular meeting Tuesday, the Common Council unanimously approved the art council’s proposal to install the art sculpture on the concrete block. Most of the pieces of the sculpture are already in existence, but Wintermantel said they plan to modify it so the fi nal form includes the art council’s logo. The roughly 10-foot sculpture is abstract in design and uses granite and steel incorporated together in a pedestal reaching up about 6 feet to a large horseshoe shape 42 inches across with the logo inside. “This is on slightly smaller scale compared to what (Zweygardt) does,” Wintermantel said. When North Union Street had its reconstruction project that included several roundabouts, Zweygardt approached the arts council about creating large sculptures to display in the middle of them. Unfortunately, because North Union Street carries Route 16, they would have to receive state approval, Wintermantel explained. “But this when this was a possibility, and the Common Council was actually quite happy with it, I think that might plant the seed for it,” he said. A mural program to install more public art throughout the city is also in the works, something Zweygardt’s sculptures could be a part of. “It’s baby steps, but hopefully the arts council will be a destination space for the area.” Wintermantel said they hope to have the sculpture installed before the new year. The Department of Public Works has also approved the project, he said, but the
sculpture will be installed by Zweygardt using his own crane truck, which needed some repairs. “The construction zone is already there and they big in massive cranes,” Wintermantel added. “It’s something he would park right there, and I’m prett y sure it would go in fairly quickly.” According to his profi le on the arts council website, the Kansas-born Zweygardt earned a BFA degree from Wichita State in 1967 and received his MFA from the Maryland Institute of Art in 1969. A retired professor from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University, Zweygardt works independently in his immense workshop in Alfred Station. “We’re excited ourselves to have some art from one of our artists out front,” Wintermantel said. “I think it’ll be a nice conversation piece, a little different from the squirrels and something new.” Wintermantel said the arts council plans to hold a show of Zweygardt’s work in 2022.
