New educational child care at YMCA in Wellsville BY KATHRYN ROSS
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 husband 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. Now their search is over. On Aug. 30, the YMCA — incidentally where Simms is the executive director — opened an Early Learning Center for children from 6 weeks old to preschool age, just two doors down from the Y. At a ribbon-cutting ceremony in the entrance, CEO of the YMCA for the Twin Tiers Jeff Townsend said Simms was instrumental in getting approval for the new facility and getting it up and running. “The truth is success starts with strong leadership, 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. Brianna 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 Whitford 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 bringing an Early Learning Center to Wellsville just like we have in Olean Child Care continued on PAGE 4

RAM clinic returns to Belmont after successful 2021 runs in area BY BOB CLARK
BELMONT — A free medical clinic that attracted hundreds of patients last year is returning in September. Remote Area Medical — a nonprofit provider of pop-up clinics focusing on free dental, vision and medical care by volunteer professionals — will conduct a free, two-day clinic Sept. 24-25 at Genesee Valley Central School. Medical services are
offered, in addition to dental or vision services, free to every patient attending the clinic. Due to time constraints, patients should be prepared to choose between dental and vision services. Some of the services available include dental cleanings, dental fillings, dental extractions, dental X-rays, eye exams, glaucoma testing, eyeglass prescriptions, eyeglasses made on-site, women’s health exams and general medical
exams. Free, take-home colon cancer screening test kits will also be available. All services are free, and provided by volunteering licensed physicians, dentists, optometrists and other professionals. No ID is required. Services are on a first-come, first-served basis. The patient parking lot will open no later than 11:59 p.m. Sept. 23 and will remain open for the duration of the clinic. Once in the
parking lot, additional information regarding clinic-opening processes and next steps will be provided. Clinic doors open at 6 a.m. both days. All patients will be required to wear a face covering and must undergo a COVID-19 screening before entering the clinic. For more information, to donate or to volunteer, please visit www.ramusa.org or call (865) 579-1530. A clinic at Genesee Valley school in Oc-
tober 2021 served 316 patients, with services including 121 eye exams, 116 prescription glasses made at the site, 31 dental cleanings, 71 dental procedures and 56 dental x-rays. Similar figures were seen among those treated at a September 2021 clinic at Jamestown Community College in Olean. RAM officials told the Times Herald that no clinic is planned for Olean in 2022.
