Cold, snow moved Wellsville’s Veterans Day service indoors frozen hills. In Wellsville, on Nov. 11 — at 11 a.m. on Veterans Day 2025 — a limp flag hung from a pole over Veterans Memorial Park, where 4 to 5 inches of snow had been removed from the memorials and the sidewalks. The temperature was 30 degrees. Because of the weather, organizers of the annual Veterans Day Memorial Service chose to move the event indoors at the American Legion.

WELLSVILLE — During World War I on the Western Front in the winter of 1917-18, soldiers — including U.S. soldiers and Marines — endured unusual bitter cold and snow in the trenches. In World War II, during the Battle of the Bulge in Belgium in December and January 1944, soldiers moved from foxhole to foxhole in abnormally frigid winter weather.

CUBA — Allegany County’s Office of Economic Development will focus on marketing parcels in the county to potential businesses, providing more support for retention and even expansion of existing businesses and encouraging more housing development in the coming year. Ashley Smith, director of the office, laid out several goals for 2026 and beyond
Monday evening during the Second Annual Economic Development Summit for Allegany County, held at the Palmer Opera House on Main Street. About 75 business, county and municipal leaders as well as residents were in attendance. She said her office is partnering with the county’s Industrial Development Agency and county planners, legislators and municipal leaders to lay the groundwork on several
initiatives for site development in the hopes of attracting investment. “We’re going to be working on identifying parcels of land that can be developed to a shovel-ready state, which is a very fancy way of saying it’s ready for construction,” Smith said. “The significance of that is having land that is adjacent to existing infrastructure because, at the end of the day, this is what businesses that are Economic Development Summit continued on PAGE 4
