The Wellsville Daily Reporter
WELLSVILLE The Wellsville Village Board started a new tradition Monday night, honoring its outgoing fire chief with a plaque in appreciation of his service.
Michael “Barney” Dillie recently completed his two-year term as chief of the Wellsville Fire Department. Dillie previously served a pair of two-year terms as second- and first-assistant chief, with the plaque marking all six years of service to the village from 2015-2021.
Mayor Randy Shayler said such formal recognition of the outgoing chief was long overdue. Shayler credited Trustee Mike Roeske for suggesting an official acknowledgment of service to the village.
WELLSVILLE A new, mobile pizza option is coming to the Village of Wellsville this spring and summer.
Max’s Pizza Plus, founded by Gregory Elliott, will offer pizza, breadsticks, cookies and beverages at various places around the village, made fresh in Elliott’s pizza trailer. The village board approved Elliott’s peddling and soliciting application Monday night, green-lighting the new venture to begin serving food May 1.
Elliott launched the business as he prepares to “semi-retire” from GST BOCES.
“My father was a baker all his life and actually taught here at Alfred State College,” he said. “My brother owned a bakery down here on Main Street for quite awhile. I always thought I’d get into some type of food business.”
