    With rain falling, village of Wellsville prepares for sunnier days

    WELLSVILLE — The thunder crackled, and the sky poured rivers of rain Monday evening as the Wellsville Village Board approved four event permits for — hopefully — sunnier days.

    First up was Kate Williams, who has taken over the organization of the community-wide rummage sale from Kate Murphy, who originated the event. Williams asked that the $15 permit for yard sales and rummage sales be waived for the participants of the event scheduled to take place July 11-12 throughout the village. The board approved the request.

    She is also bringing the event into the 21st century with digital, online registration, although some applications will be made available at the village office at the request of Mayor Randy Shayler. More about this event and where to go for registration will be forthcoming along with a list of participants and addresses.

    From there the board gave approval for the Wellsville Village Market to take place again this summer. The market will once again be on the Howe Memorial Library lawn and will be open on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. until Sept. 20.

    The Great Wellsville Balloon Rally Parade was also approved to take place at 11 a.m. July 12 on Main Street. Line-up is scheduled to take place at 10 a.m. on Pearl Street and Loder Street. Rich Mangles of WLSV/WJQZ Radio is in charge. He can be reached at (585) 593-6070 for entries.

    Shayler assured parade watchers that the village board will be riding in a convertible in the parade.

    The final event permit was issued to the Dyke Street Engine Company #2 for a chicken barbecue to be held at the fire hall on Hanover Street from 4  to 6 p.m. July 31. The event will help raise funds for the fire department. The board was also informed that a Luck of the Irish fundraiser for the purchase of apparatus and equipment is scheduled for Sept. 13 from 2:00 to 7:00 p.m. More information about this event will be forthcoming.

    Trustee at Ed Fahs asked the board to accept and approve Edward Walker to the rolls of the Dyke Street Engine Company #2. The request was approved.

    As the thunder rolled and the wind blew outside the board room windows, Department of Public Works Superintendent Dean Arnold took time to thank the fire department for helping out with the flooding and tree damage from the previous week’s storm.

    “We had three trees go down and the electric went out for about an hour in two sections of the village,” Arnold said. “The fire department was right there for us and a big help.”

    Arnold also asked for permission to post the position of working supervisor, which Brad Carlin is leaving at the end of the month. The board gave its approval to list the vacancy in-house.

    Vouchers were accepted and approved as well as the transfer of funds from the reserve fund to cover the cost of modifications in other budgets.

    Also at the meeting, Trustees Jeff Monroe and Mike Roeske, along with Tim Colligan and Kate Williams, both members of the Babcock Movie Theater Preservation Society, commented on the success of the group’s first successful fundraiser, the Reel Pork dinner that took place June 7. While the total as to how much was raised from the event has not yet been determined, Monroe said much of the food was donated by local restaurants.

    “That speaks well for the community and the businesses, the volunteers and the people who bought the tickets,” Shayler commented.

    The BMTPS board meets June 17 and more information shall be forthcoming concerning the event.

    Before the village meeting was adjourned, Colligan asked if the BMTPS is now able to use the theater marquee formerly rented to the public by the village board. Shayler said the group may rent out the space as they please. The BMTPS will be addressing the matter at a future meeting and the possibility of displaying graduation messages as a possible source of income.

    At this time, only the north side of the marquee will be available.
