Bolivar-Richburg National Honor Society inducts 8 members BOLIVAR — The BolivarRichburg Central School chapter of the National Honor Society inducted eight new members in a June ceremony in the High School Auditorium. Raina Bowen, Kaitlyn Graves, Kayli Giardini, Ryan Greeson, Jessica Majot, Matthew Mitchell, Elizabeth Shingler and Ashlin Zilker
were the 2021 inductees. Students were selected by the Faculty Council — a group of five high school teachers appointed annually — as students who exemplify scholarship, leadership, character and service. To be eligible for the NHS, a student must be a junior or senior who has earned a cumulative high school
average of at least 91% or higher throughout high school. Students who meet the scholastic requirement must also demonstrate leadership, character and service to the school and community. Each year, the senior members of the National Honor Society select a member of the Bolivar-Richburg school community who
also exemplifies these traits and dedicates to that individual the floral centerpiece used during the induction ceremony. This year, the senior NHS members chose Christy Crandall-Bean, high school counselor, as the recipient of the dedication.
Wellsville village looks at sidewalk hopscotch request BY KATHRYN ROSS WELLSVILLE — It is no hop, skip and a jump for Arts For Rural America’s request to paint the sidewalk in front of the Fassett Greenspace. At the village board meeting on Monday, Mayor Randy Shayler brought forward for discussion a request from Cassandra Bull, the head of Arts For Rural America (AFRA), which created the Fassett Greenspace. To attract more children and activity to the green-space, AFRA wants to paint, with permanent paint, a hopscotch field and other sidewalk games on the Main Street sidewalk or on the Fassett Street side of the facility. Up front, Shayler told the board he was against such painting on the sidewalk, saying he is concerned about the permanency, maintenance and liability and pointing out that AFRA is a non-profit entity. “They don’t own the Fassett Greenspace land and I don’t know if they have
permission from the landowner to do this,” he said. Two of the three trustees in attendance brought up similar concerns about the possible liability of the game project and asking what would happen should a child plow into an elderly person walking on the sidewalk. Trustee Gary Pearson said the idea was an interesting way to bring more people and families downtown to use the facility. “It would be interesting to see if they have the owner’s green light, or if he has been contacted,” he said. However, Town Council member Patty Graves, liaison to the village board, said that she had seen sidewalk hopscotch games painted on the sidewalk at the Friendship library and other libraries. “I don’t know how they do it, but I’ve seen them,” she said. Not rejecting the matter, the board tabled the request
