Allegany County Museum needs volunteers BY KATHRYN ROSS
ANDOVER — Ever wonder who the first settler was in your town, or what industry was the most prominent or if there was a murder or trial? You can find out at the Allegany County Historical Center and Museum in Andover. While the ACHCM is the repository of information and paraphernalia from all 26 towns across the county, it also houses a wealth of information about families, architecture, books the oil industry and photos. Yet, like most organizations these days, what it doesn’t have is wealth of volunteers. Ron Taylor, chairman of the Allegany County Historical Society, and the head curator of the center/museum said, “Before COVID-19 we had enough volunteers, but since we had to close those volunteers found other things to do, so that now we are in need of volunteers.” The center/museum has been in Andover for the last six years. Ideally, he said, if every town historical society would offer one volunteer per month, there would be enough to man the museum while it is open and to help with the business of the museum when it isn’t open. A volunteer could be asked to greet and guide visitors, file, transcribe, website publishing, general office work, research, write, mainte-
nance or cleaning. The good thing about working at the Allegany County Historical Center and Museum is that volunteers wouldn’t go in cold turkey. Taylor said they will train volunteers for a specific job or a variety of jobs. “What you enjoy doing is what we enjoy having you do,” Taylor said. The center/museum is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
Volunteers could also work on Tuesdays and on Saturdays should the need arise. The open hours may expand with the summer season. To volunteer to work at the center/museum just make a phone call to Taylor at (585) 610-8668 or send an email to alleganychs@gmail.com “We need more help,” Taylor said adding that the county museum is not only an interesting place to work, but also a fun place to work.

Five Wolverines capture wrestling crowns, 8 moving on BY JEFF UVEINO
LYNDONVILLE — It fell short of successfully defending its team title, but at Saturday’s Section 5 Class B3 wrestling championships, Bolivar-Richburg had plenty of familiar faces atop the podium. Five B-R wrestlers won an individual crown, highlighting local involvement in Section 5’s class tournaments. With just nine wrestlers, the Wolverines didn’t quite have the points to match champion Lyndonville or runner-up South Seneca. B-R did, however, send eight through to the state qualifier,
and its leaders were as dominant as they have been all year. “We just didn’t have the horsepower on the back end,” B-R coach Andrew Taylor said. “We put five in the finals and they all ended up winning. They did what we planned for and they know what they need to do going into next weekend.” Gary McDowell (110 pounds), Trey Buchholz (126), Tavyn MacDonell (160), Caden Allen (215) and Trent Sibble (285) all claimed a sectional title. McDowell and Buchholz each won their finals match by major decision and the other three each won by fall. It was Sibble’s third

Mitchell was fifth at 172. Saturday marked the seventh consecutive year B-R finished among the top three teams at sectionals, dating back to 2016.
“They all showed up and wrestled excellently. We have a really good core of kids,” Taylor said. “Everyone Wolverines continued on PAGE 2
