Wellsville village looks at regulating murals BY KATHRYN ROSS
WELLSVILLE — During its first meeting in 2023, the village board looked to legislate murals and sponsor a photography contest. As the meeting progressed Monday night, there was little to take action on, as Mayor Randy Shayler, department heads and three trustees had nothing to bring up or report. That is until they got to Trustee Mike Roeske, who is liaison with the village planning board. “Murals seem to be catching on,” Roeske told the board, “so the planning board wants to regulate them before we end up with something that we don’t want.” He explained that the planning board has obtained a copy of the village of Cuba’s law concerning murals. There are several murals decorating Cuba’s build-
ings and community spaces. “They want to follow Cuba’s regulations,” he said. Currently in Wellsville there is one mural decorating the north, outside wall of the Wellsville Brewery on Main Street. Farther north a ceramic tile artwork decorates the south exterior wall of the Community Arts Center, and even farther north, the Pearl Street side of the former community center also features ceramic tile artwork. Roeske said both the tile artworks are considered murals. The ceramic artworks are older. Work on the first one, located on the former community center was approved by the town board after the plan was brought to the board at the time of the sesquicentennial to have children create an artwork that would feature points of interest
throughout Wellsville’s history. The second, on the arts center was approved by the building’s owner and created by students in art classes there. This past Fall the mural/sign on the side of the brewery was completed.

While the village board would have the final say on the regulation, any disputed artwork would also be eligible for consideration by the zoning board of appeals. The planning board’s mural regulation could
supplement the village’s sign regulation. Shayler asked code enforcement officer Rich Wenslow to provide the board with the regulations for signage within the village. A motion was passed to allow the zoning board to look into
regulations regarding murals. If the new regulation takes the form of a law, it will require a public hearing. Should it be an amendment to the existing signage Murals continued on PAGE 2
Jones Memorial Hospital nurse receives DAISY Award WELLSVILLE — Dylan Chamberlain, a registered nurse in the intensive care unit at Jones Memorial Hospital, has received the DAISY Award For Extraordinary Nurses. The award is part of the DAISY Foundation’s programs to recognize the supreme efforts nurses put in every day. “Dylan is one of the most dedicated nurses I have ever seen,” said Steve Melton when nominating Chamberlain for the award. “I thought nurses like him were all gone but after seeing how he loves what he does and what he brings to the job, I will always come to this hospital.” Melton, a disabled veteran, added that his mother was a nurse for 40 years. “She would be proud to see the excellence that is carried on in Dylan.” Sandra Watkins, chief nursing officer at Jones, led the award

presentation, thanking Chamberlain for the care he provides patients. “I’m sure Dylan is thinking, ‘I was just doing my job,’ but when nurses are ‘just doing their job’ they have a
powerful impact on the patient and on the patient’s family,” she said. Registered nurse Sharon Draper presented Chamberlain with The Healer’s Touch, a unique sculpture that
represents the bond between nurses and their patients. In addition, he was presented with a bouquet of daisies and a DAISY pin. A banner with Chamerlain’s picture will be displayed in the JMH Café. An international organization, the DAISY Foundation was established in memory of J. Patrick Barnes by his family after his death in late 1999 at age 33 from complications of an auto-immune disease. DAISY, an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System, was a way for the family to thank not only the nurses who cared for Patrick — and by extension his family — but exceptional nurses everywhere. Nominations may be submitted using the link at the JMH website — jones.urmc.edu — or by submitting a paper nomination in one of the nominations boxes located throughout Jones Memorial.
