Tomorrow, Monday, February 19, is the day set aside to celebrate the birthday of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and it is on the eve of the historic inauguration taking place in our nation's capitol. As our nation strives to more maturity with racial equality Tuesday's ceremonies is one huge step closer to that goal. Don't you know that the Rev. Dr. King is looking down from the heavens with gigantic smile on his face. His dream lives on.
In celebration of MLK's birthday there will be ceremonies starting at 9:30 A.M. tomorrow at Wellsville's Village Hall. The keynote speaker will be Rev. Roosevelt Thompson from the ville's 1st Baptist Church along with State Rep. Linda Bolon. Weather permitting there will be a march from the church on Center Street to Village Hall prior to the program. There will be refreshments after the program. Everybody is invited to attend.
Happy Birthday Martin...

It is with great regret that I pass on that John Checkler has died.
Johnny was one of the more "flamboyant" Wellville people, and the last of self-made businessmen in town. He always had a smile on his face and a kind word for anyone who opened the door in his "salon" or who crossed his path while walking with his big headphones in the morning. I will never forget his laughter and his conversation. We had so much fun over the years. I told him a few weeks ago that he cut my hair for 31 years, and 15 years of em were bad. "Oh now MICHAEL"!
Me and Brian McIntosh used to run tabs for haircuts, that was Johnny, but he never let ya forget the tip.
Rest in peace John, there'll never be another one like you.
