The event was held at the Clarendon Rec Hall. Cub Master Chris Reuther and Leader Randi Keller out on the derby.

“All the Cubs showed they put a lot of hard work into their cars, displayed great sportsmanship, cheered on their competitors, and celebrated the victors!” Meghan Reuther said. “We are extremely proud of all the Cubs and their families!”

The scouts have had a busy year, visiting the planetarium at SUNY Brockport, having a Christmas party at Oak Orchard Lanes in Albion, collecting canned goods for the local food pantry, working on projects to earn badges and prepping for summer camp.

For information about joining the Holley Cub Scouts, send an email to holleycubs3062@gmail.com or contact Cub Master Chris Reuther at (716) 480-2945.

Holley school district lowers tax increase from 1.99 to 1.49%

By Tom Rivers, Editor Posted 16 April 2024 at 3:58 pm

HOLLEY – The Board of Education on Monday approved a $29,615,000 budget for 2024-25 that would increase the tax levy by 1.49 percent.

The board a month ago was looking at a budget with a 1.99 percent tax increase, but decided to shave off another half percent.

The budget goes to a public vote on May 21 from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. in the foyer of the junior-senior high school.

The board approved the budget with some uncertainty in its state aid because the state budget remains unresolved. The budget deadline was April 1 but the governor and Legislature have approved extenders to fund the government for the short-term.

While some school districts are slated for a decrease in state aid in the governor’s executive budget, Holley’s total state aid would increase by about $600,000, from $20,095,541 to $20,665,520. If the aid in the final budget is more than the amount in the governor’s budget, Zacher said any extra would go in the district’s fund balance.

State aid covers about 70 percent of the school budget. The tax levy accounts for $7,952,214, which is up $116,748 from the 2023-24 budget. Holley is well below is allowable increase under the state-imposed tax cap. Holley could increase taxes by 3.972 percent and still be below the cap, Zacher said. The district can carry over the difference to the 2025-26 budget.

There will be a public hearing about the budget at 6 p.m. on May 7 in the elementary school cafeteria.

Besides the budget, Holley will have propositions for $363,000 to buy one large bus and two small buses; and $206,840 for the Community Free Library.

There will be four seats up for election on the Board of Election including the three-year terms currently filled by Sal DeLuca, Brian McKeon and Anne Smith. There is also the final two years of a term originally for Robin Silvis. Jennifer Reisman was appointed to fill the spot until the election on May 21.

Medina Sandstone tour on May 9 features Hall of Fame sites in Buffalo

Posted 16 April 2024 at 11:03 am

By Ginny Kropf and Tom Rivers

MEDINA – The Medina Sandstone Society has announced the itinerary for its 2024 Hall of Fame Tour on May 9 in Buffalo.

This year’s tour will feature a visit to the historic Richardson Hotel/ Olmsted Complex, and St. Louis Church. In addition, there will be a drive by of several other prominent Medina Sandstone Hall of Fame honorees.

The Richardson/Olmsted Complex was in the inaugural class in 2013 for the Medina Sandstone Hall of Fame. The massive complex of the former Buffalo State Hospital was designed by architect Henry Hobson Richardson and the surrounding grounds by Frederick Law Olmsted. This was the first major work on which the two collaborated. At that time it was considered to be one of the most architecturally significant designs for an asylum, a style that became known as Richardsonian Romanesque.

Construction started in 1871 and the two imposing 185-foot towers of the Administration building have been a highly visible and striking landmark in north Buffalo since 1880. The central pavilion, with its lofty Gothic towers, adjacent wards A and B and the four flanking wards are all built of reddish-brown Medina sandstone that was quarried in Hulberton, Orleans County. The heavy, rough-faced stone walls are set off by plainly finished blocks of the same material for doors and windows. Part of the site is now used as a hotel.

The St. Louis Catholic Church went into the Medina Sandstone Hall of Fame in 2014. The church, at the corner of Main and Edward Street, was constructed from 1886 to 1889. This Gothic Revival church is built of red Medina Sandstone.

Heavily influenced by German design features, the distinctive front facade consists of two 128-foot side towers and the magnificent 245-foot center steeple and open-work spire. Perhaps the church’s most distinctive feature, this center spire, similar to the spires on several German churches including Cologne Cathedral, is the tallest open-work spire ever built completely of stone in the United States. It is also believed to be the only remaining open-work or pierced spire in the U.S.

The Medina Sandstone tour day will begin with a welcome at 8:30 a.m. by Medina Mayor Marguerite Sherman at the Sandstone Hall of Fame located in City Hall on Main Street.

The tour bus, a 47-passenger coach with bathroom, will leave at 9 a.m. and arrive at the Richardson Complex at 10:15 a.m., where guests may choose to take a leisurely tour of the grounds and museum or join a docent-led tour of undeveloped areas of the Richardson/Olmsted Complex.

At 11:30 a.m., there will be a luncheon will be served in the Glessner Room at the Richardson Hotel. The bus will leave for St. Louis Church at 12:30 p.m., where a 45-minute tour is planned at 1 p.m. The bus departs for Medina at 2 p.m.

Cost for the tour is $95 per person or $90 for stonecutters (Sandstone Society members). Checks are due by April 26 and should be mailed to Medina Sandstone Society, P.O. Box 25, Medina, 14103.

Anyone with questions or wishing more information may contact Sue Holland at (585) 721-3809 or at shollan2@rochester.rr.com.

Medina historian completes second book on Boxwood Cemetery

Photo by Ginny Kropf: Medina historian Todd Bensley has released his second book on Boxwood Cemetery. He holds copies of his first book, released in 2016, and the latest addition, just released. Both are available at Author’s Note.

By Ginny Kropf, correspondent Posted 16 April 2024 at 7:58 am

MEDINA – Old cemeteries and history have always interested Todd Bensley, so it is no surprise when he became Medina historian and a member of Friends of Boxwood that his research should prompt him to write a book.

“Boxwood Cemetery – Where the Past is Present” was published in 2016, and paved the way for Bensley to start work on a second book, titled “Boxwood Cemetery, Uncovering the Past.”

“The first book was well received,” Bensley said. “And while doing all this research and creating a searchable data base for burials at Boxwood on the village’s website, I would see something of interest,” Bensley said. “This led me to dig deeper into obits. I found many things I didn’t know about before.”

One thing he discovered is that all some people have left in the world is what is on their headstone.

“Everyone has a story, whether they died in a dramatic fashion or left their mark on the community; whether they are well-known like John Ryan; or whether they are someone whose family took the time to tell in their obit what a wonderful person they were.”

Noteworthy names buried in Boxwood Cemetery include May Howard, a passenger on the Titanic, and local business icons S.A. Cook and Robert Newell, as well as numerous veterans.

One interesting incident Bensley had never heard about was the murder of two young people on Blair Road. Noreen Margaret Russell was with her boyfriend when two men shot and killed them and stole their car to go to Florida.

“I definitely learned a lot during my research,” he said.

There are 5,000 burials in Boxwood Cemetery and Bensley said he can’t count how many hundred hours he has already spent in researching them.

“It’s become a passion,” he said.

Bensley stresses that all proceeds from the sale of his books goes to Friends of Boxwood Cemetery. Books are on sale at Author’s Note for $38 for the first book and $23 for the recent release. Author’s Note will also work with purchasers to ship them their books. The store is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Saturday; and from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Rob Klino, a member of Friends of Boxwood and owner of a newly-opened Thistleridge store at 418 Main St., also has copies of the books at his business. Thistleridge is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.

In addition to Bensley, support for his books came from Boxwood Cemetery Committee; Bogan and Tuttle Funeral Home; Cooper Funeral Home; Bates, Wallace and Heath Funeral Home; Pets in Peaceful Rest and the Medina Sandstone Society.

Klino and Bensley urge the public to visit Boxwood Cemetery’s Facebook page for upcoming events to support the cemetery.

OCH looks to expand collaboration with BOCES, Allied Health Technical Prep

Missing from photo: Taylor LeFrois (Albion).

MEDINA – A collaboration between allied Health Technical Prep, Orleans/Niagara BOCES and Orleans Community Health/Medina Memorial Hospital is shaping the future of healthcare professionals, according to Scott Robinson, director of Marketing, Communications and Outreach at Medina Memorial Hospital.

“We are delighted to celebrate the continued success of this partnership which has provided junior students from the BOCES program with excellent training opportunities within the hospital, fostering unique learning experiences and community engagement,” Robinson said.

One student, Madison Davis from Lyndonville, shares her experience.

“Allied Health and its shadowing experiences within the hospital have been very helpful in helping me make my decision to pursue a career as a PA,” Davis said. “The community and mentors I have gained from my experience here have made huge impacts on me personally and professionally.”

Additionally, Lily Beals from Roy-Hart expressed her gratitude.

“Joining Allied Health has made me realize how much more I want to pursue my career in dentistry,” Beals said. “I am so grateful for this experience and being able to help the community. Learning about the foundations of healthcare will give me a broad prospective as I pursue a pathway to becoming a dental hygienist.”

The ongoing partnership between Allied Health Technical Prep, Orleans/Niagara BOCES and Medina Memorial Hospital underscores a shared commitment to nurturing talent, supporting career aspirations and serving the local community, Robinson said. By offering students continuous exposure to real-world healthcare environments and mentorship from seasoned professionals, this collaboration equips them with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in their chosen healthcare careers, he said.

“We are immensely proud of the enduring success of this partnership and the positive impact it has had on our students,” said Kimberly Gray, chief nursing officer at Orleans Community Health. “By providing ongoing immersive learning experiences and mentorship opportunities, we are shaping the next generation of healthcare leaders who will continue to make meaningful contributions to our community.”

Allied Health Technical Prep, Orleans/Niagara BOCES and Orleans Community Health/Medina Memorial Hospital look forward to building upon their established partnership and continuing to empower students to excel in the healthcare field.

Public hearing set for April 24 for joint fire district serving Albion and Gaines

By Tom Rivers, Editor Posted 15 April 2024 at 9:37 pm

Photos by Tom Rivers: The Albion fire hall on North Platt Street is shown on Sunday during an open house and recruitment effort for the Albion Fire Department.

ALBION – The Albion and Gaines community is moving towards a new joint fire district that would have its own fire commissioners, and own budget and taxing authority.

There will be a public hearing at 6 p.m. on April 24 at the LGI room in the high school for the community to hear details about the district and to ask questions.

The Albion Town Board, Gaines Town Board and Albion Village Board held a joint meeting on March 27 at the Gaines Town Hall. The three boards all voted in favor of establishing the joint fire district.

The fire department’s budget is currently part of the Albion village budget, with the Village Board functioning as the commissioners overseeing the fire department budget. The two towns currently contract with the village for fire protection. In 2024, Gaines will pay $116,390 and the Town of Albion will pay $115,362.

Albion village officials have long felt the village bears an undue financial cost for the fire department budget. With the joint fire district, the costs will be based on the taxable values of each municipality, which village officials see as a better way to fund the department, especially with new fire truck purchases in the near future, including a ladder truck.

The joint fire district should also better identify the true costs of providing fire protection in the community by taking the department out of the village budget.

Fire Chief Jeremy Graham and Deputy John Papponetti both will give presentations during the public hearing on April 24.

Graham said he favors the joint district. Local residents will have a bigger voice in the fire service by electing commissioners and voting on any bonding for trucks and other equipment.

“The taxpayers will have a say,” Graham said. “They will have a vote.”

Holley and Lyndonville both recently moved the fire department out of the village budget and into their own fire districts. That lowered the village taxes, but there is a new fire district tax in January.

The Albion Fire Department had activities for children during the open house on Sunday, including giveaways of plastic firefighter helmets.
