Neighbors work to get elderly Allegany County man into new home BY KATHRYN ROSS
ELM VALLEY — When Melissa Fuller and her small children moved into her home in Elm Valley 13 years ago, her new neighbor from across the road was there to offer a helping hand. Now, she’s the one offering help. “When I moved in, Paul Glover, who ran a vegetable stand in front of his home, told me if I ever needed any help to just ask,” she said. Now Glover is the one in need and Fuller, along with the surrounding community, have acted. A few months ago, Fuller, who has kept her eye on her elderly
neighbor, realized that his living conditions had deteriorated. There was no water, the roof was falling in, outside walls were collapsing, inside ceilings and stairs were falling apart, the septic system had failed and the well had stopped working. “The guy from Roots Water Well Service didn’t even want to go into the basement because the building was so dangerous,” she said. Fuller put out a call for help after talking with the Andover Town Board. The house where Glover had lived with his mother and sisters for years was condemned. Glover had no place to go. Fuller arranged to
purchase a fifth-wheel travel trailer from an individual for a very reduced cost. She moved the trailer behind her home. Heat and water, with the help of Roots, was connected to it. Glover moved in. Fuller said, “He’s happier than heck and says it is the best he’s slept in years.” Glover is now sitting comfortably in a recliner donated by Mattress City and watching a Smart TV — when the 82-year-old can figure out how to work it. “But the goal,” Fuller said, “is to save him and get him out of the trailer and into his new home.” Glover’s property, located on Route 417 in Elm Valley, is free

from taxes. It is located adjacent to the historical sign designating the burial site of Nathaniel Dike, which is located on top of the hill behind Glover’s home. Early on, a GoFund-

down payment on an Amish-built building from Sandy’s Place in Scio. But more than $11,000 is needed to New Home continued on PAGE 2
Zippo cutting Northern Lights workforce in Wellsville BY MARCIE SCHELLHAMMER
File photo Zippo Manufacturing Co. started displaying Northern Lights candle products at the Zippo/Case Museum Store in Bradford, Pa. in April 2019, a few months after Zippo’s acquisition of the candle company. Northern Lights founder Andy Glanzman is at center.
Six years after joining the Zippo Manufacturing Co. family, Northern Lights Enterprises Inc. is making some major changes, including cutting nearly half of its workforce. On Friday, Zippo spokesman Fred Feightner said that Northern Lights isn’t leaving Wellsville but confirmed that changes are coming. “They are relocating certain product packaging operations to Zippo (in Bradford, Pa.) by May 27 ... and outsourcing candle pouring capacity to

Approximately 35 Northern Lights employees will be affected.” The company’s workforce, according to LinkedIn, appears to be around 80 people.
