WELLSVILLE — Relief has come to the working parents of infants and toddlers living in Wellsville and the surrounding area. Brianna Simms knows firsthand what a problem it is to find good day care for a baby when your hus band leaves for work at 6 a.m. and you leave at 7 a.m. and don’t get home until after 6 p.m. Like other young parents during the COVID-19 pandemic, with day care after day care closing their doors, they struggled to find day care for their 6-month-old.Nowtheir search is over.On Aug. 30, the YMCA — incidentally where Simms is the executive director — opened an Early Learn ing Center for children from 6 weeks old to preschool age, just two doors down from the Y. At a ribbon-cut ting ceremony in the entrance, CEO of the YMCA for the Twin Tiers Jeff Townsend said Simms was instrumen tal in getting approval for the new facility and getting it up and running.“Thetruth is success starts with strong lead ership, vision, passion, and follow through,” Townsend said. “All words I would use to describe Brianna Simms who has championed and spearheaded this project from inception to completion. Brian na has truly done an outstanding job leading this project and I am very proud of her. I am so grateful to have gotten the opportunity to work with you and your project team.” Simms was quick to point out that there were others who made the project possible from the permission of landlord Brad Whit ford of L.C. Whitford Company in allowing the renovations to take place to funding and support from Sherry Walton and Charlie Joyce.Sims explained, “In 2017 I started my career here at the YMCA of the Twin Tiers as the childcare director of the Wellsville branch. Not long after that I began to dream about bring ing an Early Learning Center to Wellsville just like we have in Olean

WELLSVILLE — Everyone knows you can never find a park ing place in the village and when the Allegany County Ancient Order of Hibernians 7th an nual car show comes to town Sept. 10 you won’t find a parking place in Island Park, either. Get those custom, antique and classic cars polished up for the AOH’s Park ‘N the Park Car Show, set for 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. that day. “This is a great family fun event here in Allegany County,” the organizer of the event, AOH member Brian Cannon, said. More than 230 cars and trucks were reg istered last year and parked under the trees from tip to center of the park, leaving scant room for the ICS Fun Fair, which takes place in tandem with the show. Car enthusiasts were able to walk under the trees, converse with owners and generally enjoy seeing many types of vehicles, from an an tique Model A to today’s sports cars. A couple of contests keep the registered car owners and viewers entertained. For the registered vehicles there is a Loudest Exhaust contest. The vehicle that reaches the highest decibel level wins. Everyone gets to participate in the engine Blow-Up Contest by guessing how long it takes for an engine run ning without oil to blow up. The winner with the closest, registered, guess takes home 50% of the pot.At the end of the day 30 trophies will be awarded.Thecar show takes place along with the annual Immaculate Conception Church Fun Fair, so there will be plenty for everyone to do. There will be music, 50/50 raffles, onsite vendors, a chicken bar beque, food trucks and more.The Fun Fair will offer games for children, a baked goods booth, used books and items and an Cannonauction.said the car show is one of the AOH’s top fundraisers; all proceeds from the show help support local charities. The AOH also hosts the annual Irish Road Bowling event in June for charity.

With her 10-month old daughter Hailey playing with soft blocks, Maurine Caschera said, “Oh my gosh, this is a godsend. We were struggling to find consistent childcare and this new program will help us out.” The facility is open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. The cost of the program is based on the amount of time the child is at the facility. There are plan options, subsidies, and financial programs. For more information contact the YMCA at (585) 593-3246.

In 2021 I accepted the position of executive director of the Wellsville YMCA and that fall Barbara Sweitzer, the CEO at the time, sat down with me and said how can we accomplish that goal. “In the spring of this year, we started advocating out in the community about the importance of and the value an Early Learning Center would add to Wellsville. It was not long before Sherry Wal ton and Charlie Joyce heard our vision and believed in it. They un derstood that an early education is one of the most important assets we have that we can offer our children. With their generous support we were able to finally start breaking ground.” Townsend said, “The YMCA is truly blessed to have so many ded icated volunteers staff community leaders and vendors that are willing to support and champi on us on this project and all that we do for the community.”Hecontinued that the Early Learning Cen ter will be a “pillar of the Wellsville commu nity” as it not only will it provide much needed child care for up to 50 children, from infants to preschoolers. It will also add between 15 and 20 new local Townsendjobs.said the center will “breathe new life into this end of the Riverwalk Plaza and will truly be a founda tional building block for the social, emotional, and preschool learn ing. The children and families that participate in this new ELC will find their transition into traditional education to be seamless. We already know that children coming from ELC have a distinct advantage when entering school.” As part of the Early Learning Center chil dren will be provided with an school.”readysocializationersused“ThisPaisley,enrollingents,andsupplytion.conceptsfromeducationage-appropriatecurriculumlearningspatialtosocializaThecenterwillalsobreakfast,lunch,asnack.OneofthenewparDonaldGreenan,hisdaughter,31/2,said,willhelpgethertobeingwithothandhelpwithherasshegetstogointopre-

WELLSVILLE — Runnings is coming, but there is no official date for when the new store will open in Riverwalk Plaza.Area residents have been keeping a sharp eye on the old Kmart store in the Bolivar Road plaza since learning that Runnings has plans to open its 58th store here. Some have reported seeing small plumbing and electrical trucks in the parking lot. Founded in 1947, Runnings is a general merchandise retailer owned by the Dennis and Adele Reed fam ily. The company has 57 stores and employs more than 2,700 workers across seven states. The company sells sport ing goods, clothing, footwear, pet supplies, housewares, tools, farm supplies, lawn and gar den supplies, toys, and outdoorDennisequipment.Jenkins,head of the media depart ment at Runnings’ corporate office in Marshall, Minn., said in late August, “We have started construction on the building. It is part of our process. When we take over a building, we like it to look like and feel like our other stores.”Jenkins noted Run nings has a history of purchasing vacant retail stores and renovating them to serve the needs of new customers. The renovations should take place through the end of the year, he said, with shelv ing being installed in December and January. While no official date for the store opening has been set, Jenkins said, “We expect to open sometime in the spring of 2023.”Other Runnings store managers have said that openings usually start with a soft opening and then they host a grand opening featuring bargains, entertainment, discounts and more.

Without such TLC, contact lenses can become dirty, which can lead to serious infection. Physicians typically emphasize the impor tance of proper contact lens care upon pre scribing lenses. That’s because of the link between dirty lenses and infections. But the Cleveland Clinic notes that such infections are often avoidable.

• Avoid hand-medown kids’ furniture. When furnishing a children’s nursery, it’s best for parents to avoid hand-medown furniture. The older a piece of furni ture is, the less likely it is that the item will meet current safety guidelines. Some par ents may be tempted to let their children sleep in the same crib they slept in as kids decades ago, but it’s safer to eschew nostalgia in favor of products that meet the latest safety stan dards.
