Bolivar-Richburg claims Class C2 crown in Sec. 5 BY J.P. BUTLER
HONEOYE — For the Bolivar-Richburg softball team, nearly two years without a sectional title probably felt like an eternity. After all, the Wolverines had emerged from the lost 2020 season as the powerhouse they’d almost always been under Stan Harris, capturing Section 5 championships in each of the 2021, ‘22 and ‘23 seasons before being edged by Caledonia-Mumford, 2-1, in last spring’s semifinals. Its bid to end that brief title drought, however, came essentially in
the blink of an eye. Indeed, due to a postponement which pushed their semifinal matchup against Dundee/Bradford from May 29 to May 30, the Wolverines went from playing, and knocking off, the top-seeded BraveScots in Bradford to competing for the Class C2 championship in Honeoye Falls-Lima roughly 21 hours later. In less than a day, B-R received its chance to reestablish its new reign under fifth-year coach Brooke Lovell. And behind star freshman pitcher Kylee Whiting, the Wolverines seized it.
WHITING continued her postseason brilliance on a chilly May 31, striking out nine and scattering four hits and three walks to key B-R to a 5-0 shutout triumph over No. 2 Oakfield-Alabama in the Section 5 Class C2 final. In four playoff contests, Whiting has tossed three shutouts and allowed just two runs — in the Wolverines’ 9-2 semifinal victory over Dundee/ Bradford. Fourth-seeded B-R, meanwhile, took out the Nos. 5, 1 and 2 seeds en route to their fourth sectional crown in five years.

Treasurer GOP contest leads June Allegany County primaries BY BOB CLARK
BELMONT — A countywide race to head finances tops the ballot in Allegany County primaries this month. The Allegany County Board of Elections reported that six primaries will be held in the county June 24, with polls open for in-person voting from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. The only countywide race is the Republican primary for county treasurer, with Former county legislator Adam Cyr and Deputy County Treasurer Jenna K. Kelley seeking to earn the party’s nod to replace
retiring Treasurer Terri Ross. Another county government race will see a primary, as five candidates are on the ballot to earn the GOP’s three nominations to represent District 3 on the county Board of Legislators. All 15 county legislative seats are up for election to new fouryear terms this November, but only District 3 will see a primary. Candidates include Charles Bessette, Bill Dibble, Ethen T. Marble, Bill Meunier and Ricky L. Whitney. Bessette was appointed to fill a vacancy in March. Dibble previously represented the district.
Whitney served as county Sheriff. Meunier is a town of Independence board member and deputy supervisor. Incumbents Debra Root and Dwight Fanton are not running for reelection. The district includes the towns of Alma, Bolivar, Independence, Genesee, Scio, Willing and Wirt. Town primaries include: • Amity town Republicans will choose two nominees for town board from candidates Joshua Brown, Harold W. Mitchell, and James F. Schneider II. • Town of Cuba Dem-
ocrats — the only Democrats set to vote June 24 — will have a write-in only primary for a single town board seat nomination. • Independence Republicans will choose two nominees for town board from candidates Kimberly R. Howe, Danielle R. Freeman, and Jane Hall. • Willing Republicans will choose two nominees for town board from candidates Chris Perkins, Monroe Rosemier, and Roy G. Gay. EARLY VOTING HOURS have been
set for two sites in the county. Belmont United Methodist Church, 7 Park Circle, will host early voting: • June 14, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. • June 15, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. • June 16, 8 a.m.-8 p.m. • June 17, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. • June 18, 8 a.m.-8 p.m. • June 19, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. • June 20, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. • June 21, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. • June 22, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. The Wellsville village office, 23 N.
