November 2 - Monday - Village Administrator Jim Saracco advised today that beginning early Thursday morning, November 5, paving work will begin on the Wells Avenue bridge surface. Once begun it will be restricted to one lane with members of the Wellsville Police Dept. maintaining traffic. The bridge surface will be ground down to the base and replaced with 2 inches of new asphalt. Only one lane at a time will be worked on allowing the bridge to remain open. West Point Paving will be doing the work. It is expected to be completed in just a few days.
Don Brown speaking on behalf of the Veterans Memorial Council advises there will be a Veterans Day Memorial service held at Wellsville High School. The service is open to the public and will take place in the gym starting at 1:50 P.M., November 11. Guest speakers will be Wellsville resident & Iraqi War veteran Sgt. Todd Farnsworth, Korean Veterans Council member George Piggott and Wellsville's VFW Commander Bill Wolf. Farnsworth is in the Army Reserves and has served two tours in the Mid-East. Wolf is a veteran of the Korean conflict. Pastor Dirk Hall of Wellsville's Nazarene Church will be leading the prayers.
Village Officials wish to publicly thank good neighbor & generous friend Mike Pusateri of Pusateri Excavating for work done cleaning out the ditch on 10th St. Ext. At no cost to the Village Pusateri had company employees perform the work. The ditch was cleaned out from near the cemetery entrance going down hill to the old entrance.
Finally, applications are being taken for a full-time Village fireman. Applicants must agree to submit to a full personal background check. Candidates will be jointly selected by the Fire Chief and Mayor and submitted to Village Council for the final approval. The successful applicant will have to take 240 hours of training to obtain a Fire Fighter certification from either the Ohio Bureau of Public Safety or the Ohio Department of Education, if they don't already have one. Applications can be picked up at the Wellsville Fire Dept. at 1200 Main St. A deadline for filing applications will be determined when the Mayor returns from vacation next week. The vacancy was created with the resignation of Fireman Marty Thorn effective this past Saturday.
You're a good man Marty Thorn and will be missed. Good luck in all your future endeavors.
