Wellsville resident, a JCC Nursing student, earns SUNY’s highest award
Abigail Hill
An aspiring registered nurse, a native of Wellsville, is one of two SUNY Jamestown Community College students to receive the SUNY
Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence. Abigail Hill, representing JCC’s Cattaraugus County Campus, is set to graduate this month. Since joining the Nursing program, the Olean resident has consistently made the dean’s list and was inducted into the college’s Phi Theta Kappa honor society chapter in September 2023. She is joined in receiving the award by JCC’s Ayomideji Israel-Akinbo, a native Nigerian and resident of
South Africa who will graduate this month with an A.S. in Engineering Science from the Jamestown campus. They, along with some 200 students across the State University of New York system, were recognized earlier this week during a ceremony at the Hart Theatre in the Egg in Albany. The award — the highest honor given to students by SUNY — acknowledges outstanding achievements and recognizes the integration of
ed with flu and COVID vaccination clinics and blood drives on campus. Outside of school and work, Hill has volunteered at many JCC events, including commencement ceremonies, a free Remote Area Medical clinic and has often donned the Jayhawk mascot outfit to add spirit at campus gatherings. “Abigail is dedicated to making a positive impact in healthcare and her local community,” said Crystal Rose-Williams, JCC’s student
“SUNY excellence into academics, leadership, diversity, equity, inclusion and justice, campus involvement, civics and service, research and development, or creative and performing arts.” Since 2022, Hill has worked as a Health Center assistant on the Cattaraugus County Campus in Olean. In that role, she has been responsible for managing student health records, documenting immunizations, and maintaining accurate files. Hill has also assist-
experience interim vice president. “Through her employment with the Health Center and volunteer work she has built strong relationships with fellow students and staff. She strives to provide a positive and supportive environment for all and is committed to contributing to the continued success of the JCC community.” After graduation, Hill plans to work at her local hospital and pursue a bachelor’s degree in nursing.
Chickens and baked potatoes in Wellsville November and required four public hearings before being resolved. The board tabled a request from Hailie Cantrell to serve baked potatoes to the community from a food truck as a request for a peddling and soliciting permit was held up on a technicality. Board members said they wanted a little longer to investigate. Cantrell’s application expressed that in addition to parking her food truck in such locations as Tractor Supply and Dollar General (with permission) she’d also like to park the truck in her South Broad Street yard and sell baked potatoes from there. The board questioned health regulations and requirements for the South Broad Street location

WELLSVILLE — The docket for the village board meeting read more like a menu than an agenda with the passage of the chicken law and a conversation concerning baked potatoes. The village board approved Law #4 2025 for the Keeping of Chickens Within the Village on April 28. The law goes into effect immediately and allows for the keeping of six chickens and no roosters. Applications of $25 are required and granted upon approval of the zoning officer. Permits can be revoked for public health and safety hazards such as odor perceptible beyond the property line, unsanitary conditions

or chickens roaming at large. The applicant also gives permission for the zoning officer to inspect the premises at any given time. Violations may result in revocation of the permit and fines costing anywhere from $50 to $250. The new law restricts
the keeping of chickens to only residential areas, excluding apartment buildings and multifamily complexes. Upon receiving an application the zoning officer will inform adjacent and nearby property owners and residents. Further requirements regarding the keeping
of chickens pertaining to their health and care and the requirements for enclosures and location are available at the village clerk’s office. After approval of the law, Mayor Randy Shayler thanked everyone who helped with its drafting. The chicken controversy started in
and decided to investigate those requirements before the next meeting on May 12. Parking was also the subject of an approved resolution to amend a local law from 2023 regulating parking in public places. The penalty section of the law was increased. Now, failure to pay the fine after 30 days will be sent to a debt collector. Failure to pay the fine could also result in vehicle registration suspension and arrest of the registered owner. The board also approved sewer and water rate increases per the 2025-26 budget which was previously approved. The water rate increase is 3% with a Wellsville Board Meeting continued on PAGE 6
