160 people attended workshops on repairing windows, roofs, plaster and other parts of older buildings

MEDINA – Sadie Rose leads a workshop today on “The Art of Stencil.” It was among several workshops today in the former Medina High School.
There were 160 people in Medina for the three-day International Preservation Trades Workshop, with sessions from Thursday through today.
Rose works in the Detroit area as a preservation craftsperson specializing in decorative painting, mural conservation and wood restoration.
The Preservation Trades Network picked Medina for the conference partly because it’s the base for Talis Historic Restoration, which employs 20 people and utilizes 30,000 square feet of the old high school.
A banner welcomes attendees to the International Preservation Trades Workshop held the past three days at the former Medina High School.
The conference has recently been in Savannah, Ga., and Frederick, Maryland. In Medina, the attendees could see a remarkable concentration of historic cobblestone buildings that reflect extraordinary craftsmanship and durability, the Preservation Trades Network said.
“Just as important is Medina’s connection to the Erie Canal—one of the most transformative infrastructure projects in American history,” the group said in promoting the conference. “The canal turned small towns like Medina into hubs of trade and movement, fueling the growth of local industry and shaping the built environment you see today. Medina sandstone, quarried locally and shipped via the canal, became a defining material in buildings across the region and beyond.”
Terry Wullenweber, a master plasterer from Milan, Indiana, leads a workshop about plastering today entitled, “Look Up! Don’t miss the ornaments above.” Wullenweber received an award at the conference for his decades of work and expertise.
The Preservation Trades Network seeks to share knowledge on the importance of preservation, and how to repair and restore windows, stained-glass, plaster, finishes/paint, masonry. metals and roofing.
Dan Totten, a commercial estimator and project technician for Talis Historic Restoration, is on the board for the Preservation Trades Network. Totten went to art school and he said that he, like many in historic trades, came to the profession after working in other careers.
He enjoys the challenge of working on older buildings, many were built extremely well but have seen decades of deferred maintenance.
He said there is need for workers in historic trades. Talis in Medina has 20 employees and Totten said the company is actively hiring.
Talis started eight years ago in a business led by Roger Hungerford. Talis works across upstate New York and in the Northeast. Some notable window restoration projects by Talis include the Thompson A.M.E. Zion Church (Harriet Tubman’s church) in Auburn, NY; nearly 300 windows at the old Medina High School in Medina; Cobblestone Museum in Albion; William J. Brennan Courthouse in Jersey City, New Jersey; Morgan Manning House in Brockport; Sojourner Truth house in Kingston, NY; and other prominent historic sites in Effingham, New Hampshire; Buffalo, NY; Sackets Harbor, NY; Ithaca, NY; Canandaigua, NY; and Rochester, NY.
Travis Farnsworth is president and CEO of Talis Historic Restoration. He has been with Talis since it started eight years ago. The company led several workshops in glazing windows during the historic trades conference.
Totten said Talis Historic Restoration was pleased to be a part of hosting the convention and welcoming people with a passion for the historic trades.
“At Talis we’re very collaborative,” he said. “We like to bring people together.”
John Moore leads a workshop today in the former Medina High School. Moore is a preservation carpenter, educator, and former residential builder. He taught carpentry and construction technology at West Kentucky Community & Technical College, where he helped develop a historic preservation curriculum.
Clarendon voters have more than one choice for town supervisor
Editor:
My name is Kathy Harnischfeger. I am running for Clarendon Town Supervisor as a write-in candidate. I am a moderate Democrat who believes in the 2nd amendment. While this may deter some of our residents, what is important to know is that the position of Town Supervisor holds no more power than the Town Board members.
I decided to run as a write-in candidate after the primary election results because I felt that our community needed another choice. The Town of Clarendon has faced some serious issues the last 9 months which has unfortunately divided our community in a big way.
I want to help the community heal and move forward by serving every Clarendon resident. I have been to too many board meetings to count over the years. I have worked with our Town Board to try to improve Clarendon’s standard of living, so every resident can live happily in peace and harmony with their neighbor.
I have studied the town law book and continue to do so. I believe the leader of a community should hold honor, integrity and most importantly, have the taxpayers’ best interests at heart.
This is an important position. This shouldn’t be a personal race. This shouldn’t be a popularity contest. This should be about who is the best person to lead the town, and who can best represent every resident in the community, regardless of who they support.
Ultimately, my goal is to bring everyone together and move forward in a positive direction. This is not a partisan race for me, I simply want to serve the community I have called home for 20 years.
I have asked the other candidate to join me on October 16 starting at 6 p.m., at the Clarendon Town Hall for a Community Q&A session. This will be the opportunity to get to know me as a person, what I stand for, and what my goals are for the community of Clarendon.
Enough is enough! It is time we move Clarendon forward together as a community by creating a more unified environment for all that call Clarendon their home. I am so excited to meet everyone!
Clarendon, you still have a choice!
Sincerely,
Kathy Harnischfeger
Clarendon
