Vandalism complaints aired By MATT LEONE The wife of an East Pearl Street roofing contractor complained to the village board last night of vandalism to their property which has occurred since the Wellsville Community Center opened at East Pearl and Main. Mrs. William Bricker, of Bricker Roofing at 23 E. Pearl, said tires have been flattened and windows broken on a truck parked outside, 11 holes have punched through the bricks of a storage garage, and a window was broken last week in the firm's storefront.

She said broken glass from bottles has to be swept from the sidewalk each morning, and she recently found a broken beer bottle placed in the path of the truck tire. Mrs. Bricker said "I know it's not all the kids at the Center, but before the Center opened, we never had these problems. We are afraid to store equipment and materials outside, and we just can't run our business this way." VILLAGE board had little reassurance they could do anything about Mrs. Bricker's problem.

of the board claimed vandalism was a problem all along the Main Street business district, and that it was the work not only of students using the Center, but of "a lot of people a long time out of high school," Mayor Robert G. Gardner said. At the suggestion of Trustee Donald Ludden, the board agreed to attempt to arrange a meeting of its members with the management of the Center, village police and the Wellsville Town Board, the operators of the Center. POLICE CHIEF James McKinley said he could increase surveillance of the area around the Community Center, but described the problem of vandalism as widespread in the community. "We had these problems for years," he said, "in the Burrous parking lot, Island Park, near the Key Restaurant, all along Main Street.

I checked the new parking lot at the Lutheran Church and it was cluttered with broken beer bottles, and that's way off from the business district." "If we put 25 people (police officers) on it," Mayor Gardner said, "'we couldn't stop it. "There is a. certain minority of troublemakers," Mr. Ludden said, Council starts ticket sale HORNELL--The Hornell Area Arts Council is starting its ticket sale campaign for the 1976-77 Entertainment Series early and in so doing is making a bonus offer to those who purchase the season tickets before or at the 'time of the Fred Waring concert March 28 at the Hornell High School.

The long-awaited Wellsvalle arterial may be open to traffic by the end of this year, and the loose ends of the project tied up by June of 1977. That ambitious prediction was made last night by Robert Clark.

project superintendent for Cold Springs Construction the major contractor for the arterial. Mr. Clark appeared with two assistants before Wellsville Village Board. As part of a public-relations conscious company, he said. "We'd like the whole community interested.

With your cooperation, things gu better for us." goal and yours is the same--to get in and out of here as quickly as possible." The first inconvenience connected with the arterial construction, he said, will be the closing off of Park Avenue from State Street to somewhere near Madison, probably during the third week of April. Cold Springs crews will tear up the street to bury new sanitary sewer lines along its length. Working with village police and public works director Donald MacFarquhar, Mr. Clark has worked out alternate traffic patterns for the Park Avenue area. They will be publicized soon.

Later this year, at various periods, Mr. Clark said, access to Island Park by either Hanover or Dyke Street will be shut off temporarily. But at no time will both roads into the park be closed, so that Island Park will be accessible during the entire construction period. Cold Springs construction goal for 1976, Mr. Clark said, is to complete the entire "mainlines concrete -from Dyke Street to the Bolivar Road (Rte.

417 -perhaps allowing traffic on the road this year. Landscaping and other work should be completed by the middle of June in 1977, he said. He acknowledged the company has been "swamped with applications" for employment on the project, but said will do very little hiring from the local area." He explained that slack construction demand in recent months forces the company to use its own employes- -and those with the most seniority--first before hiring locally. Minority hiring goals--set by the federal Office of Economic Opportunity- also be met, whether minority workers can be recruited locally or not, Mr. Clark said.

He said he has been in contact with the Wellsville office of the State Labor Dept. A crucial part of the project in terms of construction schedule, Mr. Clark said, is the bridge which will take the Change in polling place considered Wellsville Village Board will consider changing the election polling place to accommodate people who have trouble finding parking and climbing the steps of the Municipal Building. Trustee Donald Ludden made the suggestion at last night's board meeting, and he and Trustee Ralph Rugaber were named to study an alternative polling place. The Wellsville fire department headquarters on South Main Street was suggested, if it could be done without blocking operations of the department.

All village voters now vote in the Municipal Building on North Main Street. The flight of stairs leading up to the polling place in the trustees room caused problems for many voters especially the elderly on election day March 16, Trustee Ludden said. Scracity of parking nearby was another problem, he said. The next village-only election will take place in the spring of 1978. arterial across Dyke Creek.

"The he said. "is cut in two parts by Dyke Creek Access is cut off from both ends until the bridge is complete." Cold Springs has set up project headquarters in a trailer parked in the old Loblaw's parking lot off West Dyke Street. Mr. Clark conceded there would be "inconveniences" throughout the course of the project "dust and noise. That's the way you build a highway.

But we need your cooperation to get it done as quickly as possible and get out." In other action at last night's meeting. the village board: -received a report from village assessor Philip Duke. The report said total village property assessment for 1976 was $12.281,922, up $89,000 from 1975 and representing about $4,500 in additional tax income to the village. Mayor Robert Gardner attributed the increase not to new construction, but to increased assessments of many existing buildings. -granted permission to Immaculate Conception School to stage a Centennial Parade May 3 at 12:30 p.m.

approved payment of expenses to a state Dept. of Transportation DOT crew which will come to Wellsville this year to conduct seismographic tests on sub-soil rock at the village landfill expansion site. School continues suspension system "which we have had to tolerate, up and down Main Street. The vast majority of kids at the Community Center use the Center and go home and cause no trouble." But Mrs. Bricker maintained her husband's business was not troubled before the Center opened.

She said she tried many "different angles" before making a public complaint to 1 the village board, starting last fall shortly after the Center opened. She said, "There is a solution. Most of the kids know who is doing this. Perhaps, if they want to keep the Center, they'll clean up the problem themselves. We just can't go on accepting this." LATER IN the board meeting, it was revealed the Center's management has been talking with high school students about the vandalism problem.

A Wellsville High School social studies student, attending the board meeting with several classmates as a class assignment, told the mayor Recreation Director Douglas Jackson had spoken to classes at the school with a similar message to that of Mrs. Bricker. The rudent said the implication had been young people might lose the dropin Center if vandalism and other problems did not lessen. The student said committees of students have been formed to attempt to deal with the problems, and a meeting with the student council and some of the Center staff has been scheduled. Mayor Gardner said "we have a nice community because people have treated it with respect for so many years.

All of us have to cooperatepolice, elected officials, young people." Fire ravages 2-story home WEST ALMOND-A home in the settled area of West Almond on County Rd. 2 was extensively damaged by fire early yesterday afternoon. Angelica and Almond firemen fought the blaze, which was thought to have started in a furnace blower in the front downstairs of the two-story wood frame house, acting Angelica Fire Chief Clair Harding said.

Blades nor his wife was at home when the fire broke out sometime around 11 a.m. The second floor and roof of the house were destroyed by flames, Chief Harding said, and the lower floor suffered extensive water and fire damage but was left standing. He said the Blades had been remodelling the interior. Twenty-five firemen joined in the effort, and flames were under control by 3 p.m. Almond sent a pumper-tanker to assist Angelica equipment, and water was drawn from the West Almond Creek.

"Only time will tell" if the system will work out, according to Supervising Principal James Feldbaver, but he said, "under this plan a pupil's education is intensified rather than interrupted.

Further, there is no need for them to receive zeroes for their absence. Also, under this plan, tests may be given as scheduled. "The experiment seems to be very successful to date due mainly to the cooperation of the faculty and students involved." he said. The board paused at the beginning of the meeting to recognize trophies on display won by the girls' basketball team. The trophies were for victories in the County South Division and the A- League, which includes Wellsville.
