‘New American Rural’ vision for Bolivar community
BOLIVAR — Alfred State College architecture students unveiled the final product of their Community Visualization Study to more than 50 Bolivar residents Monday evening. The presentation took place at Bolivar-Richburg Central School. As a part of a seniorlevel Architecture Design Studio course, made possible through funding from the Appalachian Regional Commission, this project allowed students to work with and for a real client. By focusing on principles like branding, placemaking and commerce, the students re-envisioned the community as a hub of economic and social self-sufficiency and self-reliance — concept dubbed as the “New American Rural” community. Angela M. McKay, assistant director of economic development and planning for Allegany County, said the students presented their work, which included high-quality detailed renderings to illustrate their suggestions, in a way that looked at the village in four sectors or focus areas: • Upper Main Street, which included structures like Café Jacob, the Dollar General and the historic Bolivar Hotel. • Lower Main Street, extending from the intersections of Main and Wellsville streets to

Olive Street, including structures like the Pioneer Oil Museum and the Bolivar Shop n’ Save. • The former Hahn & Schaffner Pipe Company located to the west of Main Street, which the students reconceptualized as “Pioneer Point.” It is the current location of the second site of the Pioneer Oil Museum. • The Southern Gateway to the village, which incorporated community spaces like the Moore Memorial Pool and Shaner Park. McKay said, in each focus area, students provided design interventions that sought to facilitate increased community connectivity, walkability and promote community engagement. Suggestions related to the timing or phasing of the projects being proposed were also provided by the students and broken into short-term, intermediate and long-term categories. The short-term projects included relatively simple additions —
like adding trees and vegetation to Main Street, incorporating aesthetically pleasing streetlights and branded banners on Main Street, and commissioning a mural that reflects the community’s identity on the Boss Street facing side of Tru-Value Hardware. McKay said other notable intermediate and long-term projects included the transformation of the Pioneer Oil Museum Hahn & Schaffner site into Pioneer Point, a destination that would include a new museum visitor center, mixed retail and dining; a new amphitheater for live outdoor music, meetings and lectures at the Moore Memorial Pool; and the development of a selfsustainable craft brewing operation called Bolivar Brewing Co. “Community members were wowed by the dramatic changes proposed by the students,” McKay
said, “leading some community members to ask, ‘When can we get started?’” She said other residents were “cautiously optimistic,” while interested in exploring the practical means to obtain funding for and accomplish short-term projects before setting their sights on the longterm goals. Bill Dean, professor of the design class, assured that all the work completed by the students over the course of this project is at the disposal of the community. A joint Town and Village Comprehensive Planning Committee, which released Bolivar’s first ever Strategic Plan for the community in August, will now use public feedback to integrate the students’ ideas into the community plan. The complete electronic presentation of the final product will be made available to the town and village for public viewing, McKay said.

Chautauqua County Executive George Borrello outpolled Austin Morgan of Freedom to easily win the 57th Senate District seat formerly held by Catharine M. Young, the Olean Republican. Young resigned in March.

Service Repair Performance
Performance tires offer a sports car feel. These are meant for drivers who want to feel the road and increase low-speed traction. The higher the level of performance, the increased level of handling and stability at high speeds. Trucks, pickups and SUVs also have a variety of tire types. There are off-road varieties, which will offer an aggressive tread design for off-road traction and other obstacles. Light truck tires help provide durability and traction. Specially designed SUV tires may be large, but can still offer comfort-focused applications designed for on-road driving. Drivers looking for better performance from their tires should speak with a tire retailer about the options available to them.

Area Civil War veteran credited with bringing Andersonville warden to justice
By CINDY WAGNER The trial of Confederate Capt. Henry Wirz, the warden of the infamous Andersonville prison camp, began four short months after the end of the Civil War — and ended with the hanging of the only man to be found guilty of war crimes from that bloody chapter in American history. For generations, it’s been said that the soldier responsible for bringing Wirz to justice, Edgar Walton Irish, was a area man. According to “Allegany County and its People” by George S. Minard, Edgar (sometimes known as Deacon Edgar) Walton Irish was born March 24, 1838. He was one of three children of George and Maria Potter Irish of Connecticut. After Maria died, George married Mary Adams, settled in the town of Genesee in an area known as the Irish Basin, and had seven more children. Edgar and his brother George, who was three years younger, had a long family history of military and community service behind them. Their great-grandfather, Benjamin Irish, served during the American Revolution. Edgar Irish joined the Union Army as a corporal in September 1861 when he was 23, and served a short-term enlistment in the First Rhode Island Regiment. Three months later, he signed up with the 85th New York Volunteers. Edgar Irish’s younger brother, George Hadwin Irish, 19, enlisted in Portville the same year and also served in Co. C, 85th New York. It wasn’t a coincidence that the brothers were enlisted in the same outfit. The companies of the 85th, which was organized in Elmira, were recruited from towns including Olean, Little Genesee, Friendship, Black Creek, Wellsville, Richburg and Hinsdale. Before the division was mustered out, many suffered imprisonment and death — numbers vary but approximately 36 were killed in action or from wounds, while 103 passed from accident or disease and about 222 died as prisoners of war. It’s said by some sources that more soldiers from the 85th died as prisoners of war than any unit in the Union Army. The high number of prisoner deaths in the unit were due in large part to the battle at Plymouth, N.C., where some 500 soldiers surrendered to Confederate forces. Edgar and George Irish were captured on April 20, 1864, in the battle, and the brothers ended up in Andersonville in Georgia — but they met very different fates. In “A History of the Town of Portville, 1805-

1920,” it is explained that Edgar Irish was given an office job when the Confederates discovered that “he was a capable writer and good with numbers. He was spared much of the hardship of the prisoners in the yard, including his brother George.” George suffered through his imprisonment with the vast percentage of the general population in the stockade, mostly exposed to the heat and elements of the Georgia climate. Several historical sites report that Edgar begged for months for permission to search for his brother. Finally Edgar Irish was allowed to search but it was too late — George Irish had died just the day before, of dysentery and starvation, like so many of the Union prisoners there. Some sources indicate that what Edgar reportedly did next was an act of revenge for his brother’s death. Some say Edgar Irish was determined the truth would come out about the harsh conditions. “It must have been in these tragic days of grief that Edgar determined that the awful truth of Andersonville and its notorious keeper be brought to light,” suggests “A History of the Town of Portville,” published by the Portville Historical &
Preservation Society. Edgar reportedly had access to a lot of paperwork and conversation among Confederate leadership at the prison, given his office job. He worked closely with the men, including Wirz, who was the warden of Andersonville Prison, or Camp Sumter as it was originally known. The National Park Service describes Andersonville Prison as a 26.5-acre site designed to imprison a maximum of 10,000 prisoners, but it often held more than 32,000 men. Many “were wounded and starving, huddled in horrific conditions where disease like dysentery ran rampant and encouraged by contaminated water and only minimal shelter from the blazing sun and the chilling winter rain. In the prison's 14 months of existence, some 45,000 Union prisoners arrived; of those, 12,920 died and were buried in a cemetery created just outside the prison walls.” Those weren’t numbers that could stay buried. Shortly after the end of the war, the Library of Congress reports, Wirz was charged with “conspiring with Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and others, to ‘injure the health and destroy the lives of soldiers in the military service of the United States…’ He also was charged with “murder, in violation of the laws and customs of war.” Judge Advocate General Holt was with the Bureau of Military Justice that gathered the evidence against Wirz both for trial and a posttrial review. Prior to the trial, the judge received a letter about Edgar Irish from John Jacob Babcock, dated May 34, 1865. Edgar Irish “… may have some papers and
documents which will add to the testimony being furnished at the court now sitting … He saw prisoners shot dead for a mere pretext of an offense, and while he was in the stockade, was Captain of company in the so nearly successful and undermining plot of the prisoners. As to his veracity, I have only to say that his best friends and those who know him best and have known him longest, never doubt a letter of his statements. “I think he would gladly furnish his papers or attend himself by addressing him at this place for two or three weeks should you deem his knowledge or papers of any consequence to the investigation.” The Fifth Annual Report of the Chief of the Bureau of Military Statistics to the New York State Legislature on April 3, 1908, provides a copy of a similar letter to Col. A.J.H. Duganne, chief of the bureau, signed by Stephen Babcock of the New York Institute for the Blind in New York City. “The fact that Mr. Irish kept a daily journal while a prisoner, and brought away with him many of the prison records, makes him peculiarly well fitted to give information on that subject, and I have no doubt but what, if you request it, he will cheerfully give you information upon that subject,” wrote Babcock. The report goes on to say that “Edgar found much incriminating evident through his access to office records. He concealed the evidence on his person when he was released from prison. Later this evidence was used at the trial of Capt. Wirz.” Unfortunately, Irish was never named in the transcript or index of Wirz’s trial records. Nevertheless, the story of Irish and his effort to seek retribution for the Union prisoners of war at Andersonville has lived on through generations of area residents. In part, it’s because of the Irish monument in the West Genesee Cemetery, better known as the Obi Cemetery. There are a number of descendants listed on the large white stone, and according to findagrave. com, George Irish and Mary Adams (or Maria Edgerton Potter Irish) are
buried there. But there are several other names on the stone as well, including “G. Hadwin Irish, Co. C. 85th N.Y. Vol. Died in Andersonville Prison,” who aren’t buried in the cemetery. The monument doesn’t say that his grave lies on Andersonville Prison grounds. Edgar Irish isn’t buried there, either. His body lies in Hammond, Tangipahoa Parish, La. and is buried in Greenlawn Cemetery. Mark Weitzel, a local historian, said that he has come to the conclusion that the Irish stone is a cenotaph, which Merriam-Webster defines as “a tomb or a monument erected in honor of a person or group of persons whose remains are elsewhere.”
Regardless, his name is there on the bottom of the large white monument to the Irish family in Obi Cemetery: “Edgar W. Irish, O.S., Co. C. 85th N.Y. Vol. He made, preserved and supplied the evidence that made possible the execution of Capt. Henry Wirz, the keeper of Anderson Prison.”

Alfred State College's Wellsville career fair ‘maxed out’ with employers
ALFRED — For the past few years, Alfred State College’s career fairs have grown significantly as more employers than before are coming to both campuses to recruit Pioneers. While that trend continued this fall, an important milestone was achieved for the first time in the history of Alfred State career fairs: both events featured the maximum number of employers possible. Elaine Morsman, director of Alfred State’s Career Development Center, said the Alfred career fair at
the Orvis Activities Center gymnasium drew 121 employers, while 96 came to the Pioneer Student Union on the Wellsville campus to recruit students. These numbers were even higher than last fall’s career fair totals of 112 for Alfred and 84 for Wellsville, which were records at the time. “This was the first time that both campus career fairs maxed out,” Morsman said. “We even figured out how to fit more employers into each one, so these career fairs truly maxed out.” With more employers than ever
before coming to recruit Pioneers, the fall career fairs featured several new companies, including Kodak, Panasonic, Dominion Energy and Whiting & Turner Construction. A number of employers came from outside of New York state, as well, including Schlumberger (Texas), Main Drilling & Blasting (Maine) and Balfour Beatty (Virginia). Students are just as enthusiastic about meeting with employers at these events. This fall, more than 560 students attended the career fair in
Wellsville, while 471 students attended the one in Alfred. In addition to being able to network with employers and hand out their resumes, students attending the Alfred career fair were also able to get a professional headshot taken for their LinkedIn profile, courtesy of the college’s Business Professionals of America Club. Also, any student who dropped off their resume at the registration table at either career fair was entered in a drawing for $100 in merchandise from the campus store.

St. James expects new hospital to ‘go live’ in mid-March
HORNELL (TNS) — St. James Hospital is targeting mid-March 2020 to “go live” and be open for business at its new facility, hospital officials report. With building construction at the Seneca Road Hornellsville site about 85 percent complete, attention is turning to the events that will mark the opening of St. James’ new $55 million home — a twostory, 87,300-squarefeet, 15-inpatient-bed hospital. Asked if they have a formal date for the opening in March, hospital officials said they will have a definitive date early in the new year. Certain departments in the hospital will begin
moving their operations starting early in 2020. Because of the magnitude of the project, hospital officials said a great deal of planning is going into public grand opening activities. They intend to have a public open house prior to going live, scheduled for the afternoon of March 6. In early 2018, St. James became the sixth hospital to join UR Medicine’s network of inpatient hospitals, including Strong Memorial and Highland in Rochester, Jones Memorial in Wellsville, Noyes Memorial in Dansville and F. F. Thompson in Canandaigua. Ground was broken for the new hospital in November 2017.

If someone has done military service, They earn the title "veteran," and more; They earn our deep respect and admiration; That they are special no one can ignore. They sacrificed the comforts we enjoy; The list is long of all the things they gave. Our veterans are extraordinary people; They’re loyal, dedicated, true and brave. When terror and invasion were real threats, They showed us they could handle any storm. We owe our freedoms and our very lives To our veterans, who served in uniform. Our veterans should be celebrities; They’re exceptional; no other group compares. We’re grateful for the many things they’ve done; They’re always in our hearts and in our prayers.

A Place Where
Seniors Fulfill Their Dreams
Field of Dreams offers the very best in senior living, featuring luxury amenities, beautiful scenery and a vibrant and active community. But just because we look like a resort, doesn’t mean we’re priced like one.
We offer the most affordable and competitive prices for the services we offer — with NO community fee.
We Have No Competition
Appropriate, Affordable Care at Every Stage
When it comes to assisted living residences, we have no competition. We’re the only community in our area that meets the criteria for an assisted living residence as outlined by the New York State Department of Health’s definition. You can check the certifications of prospective providers here: https://profiles.health.ny.gov
The Olmstead Decision requires that individuals must be placed in the level of care that’s most appropriate for them and no more. Don’t settle for the wrong level of care. Active seniors who may request extra help with day-to-day tasks belong in assisted living at Field of Dreams — a community where they can truly flourish with great friendships and new hobbies.
When selecting a new home for your loved one, it’s crucial to check its licenses — we’re the only licensed assisted living residence in the Allegany-Olean area.
No Matter Where You Are in Life, You Can Start a New Chapter with Us We pride ourselves on our warm and welcoming user-friendly atmosphere, our compassionate caregivers, and our vibrant family-like community. We’re truly a home for anyone looking for peace of mind in their next stage of life. Don’t waste another moment worrying about pricing, because Field of Dreams is within your reach. We accept long-term care and VA insurance and also offer financial assistance.
Plus, when you join our community, you stay — even after your money runs out.
We offer a range of best-in-class services and amenities: 8 Chef-prepared meals
8 Private rooms
8 State-certified dietician
8 Full housekeeping services, including laundry
8 Idyllic walking paths, courtyards, fishing
