MEDINA – Polish culture was celebrated on Monday with Dyngus Day parties throughout Western New York, including one at the Sacred Heart Club in Medina, where JT Thomas was crowned king and Irene Dunn was named queen. Both are active members of Sacred Heart.
The Sacred Heart Club served up Polish food, including sweet and sour cabbage, smoked kielbasa, lazy pierogis, pierogis, Golumbki (stuffed cabbage) and fresh Polish sausage.
St. Mary’s Athletic Club in Albion also served many Polish dinners on Monday.

MEDINA – Cindy Davis, owner of the Pet Nanny in Medina, sees many benefits for dogs getting exercise. They are better behaved, they sleep more soundly, and they enjoy the socialization when they are outside.
Davis is busy with a business where she takes dogs for walks. She is excited to see Medina working towards building a new dog park. The Village Board on Monday approved having a dog park next to the former Compost Plant on North Gravel Road.
Alaina Wilson and Cindy Davis stopped by the former Compost Plant on Friday to look over the grounds. Two enclosures will be built on the side of the building, one for large dogs and the other for agility exercises.
“Dogs aren’t just dogs anymore,” Davis said. “They are family.”
The village looked at having a designated spot for dogs at one of the village parks, but those parks tend to have many neighbors nearby.
“We looked at all of the parks and we wanted to disturb as few people as possible,” said Alaina Wilson, the lead organizer for the dog park.
The Compost plant has few neighbors and it has a buffer of trees on the sides of the property. It’s also on a high-traffic road that should be easy to find, said Mayor Mike Sidari.
He praised Alaina Wilson for pushing the park, and having the determination to find a suitable location. Wilson also is taking the lead with raising $20,000 for the park. That will pay for three fenced-in enclosures, with one spot for smaller dogs, another area for larger dogs, and an agility area.
“The sooner we can raise the money, the sooner we can build it,” she said. “I’m hoping it will be ready during the summer.”
Donations can be sent by check to the Village Office and be designated for the Dog Park. Wilson also is setting up a GoFundMe for the park and will have other fundraisers. She also welcomes donations of benches and other furniture for the park.
There will be a list of sponsors at the park, for donors who give at least $100. Davis, owner of the Pet Nanny, was the first to commit to $100.
“I can only walk so many dogs a day,” she said. “Pets are a big thing for a lot of people.”
Alaina Wilson is pictured near the front of former Compost Plant where a fenced-in area for small dogs will be built. The Compost Plant is now used for storage by the village.
Wilson, 28, is a doctoral student at Medaille College in Buffalo, studying clinical psychology. She used to live in North Carolina and saw the benefits of a dog park where the dogs get needed exercise and socialization. Dog owners also make friends with the other dog owners.
“It’s something that’s missing in Medina right now and I want to see Medina grow,” she said.
Mayor Sidari backed the project. He sees it as an asset to Medina residents, and he expects the park will draw visitors to Medina for people looking for a spot for their dogs to run. He has heard from many people who drive nearly an hour to go to a dog park.
He also thinks the site can make Medina stand out for site selectors and prospective businesses. Medina has the infrastructure for new businesses. But often it’s quality of life issues that sway a business owner to build in a certain community.
“Businesses look at what is available,” he said. “After they look at water, sewer and infrastructure, they look at what’s available with the schools and activities.”
Wilson will share updates on the dog park on the group’s Facebook page. Click here for more information.

MEDINA – Christian Hahn completed a 12-year journey in the Boy Scouts of America today, earning his Eagle Scout rank.
Christian, 18, started Cub Scouts when he was 6 in the first grade, and went on numerous camping and hiking trips, including the National Jamboree in Virginia and the Philmont Scout Ranch in the rugged New Mexico wilderness. At Philmont, Christian and other Scouts needed to hike 50-60 miles over hills.
“It’s a family tradition and it’s taught me valuable things in life,” Christian said today at the Medina United Methodist Church, which hosted his Eagle Scout Court of Honor ceremony.
His grandfather, Don Miller, was a Scoutmaster of Troop 28 in Medina, and Christian’s uncle, Tim Miller, now leads the troop as Scoutmaster.
Christian counts numerous friends through Scouting, as well as learning tons of skills, from building fires, cleaning water to cooking with a Dutch oven.
For his Eagle project, he made 16 bookshelves that are painted light blue for the Orleans County Adult Learning Services. OCALS is using the shelves as part of the “Little Blue Bookshelf Project,” which promotes literacy by placing the shelves in local businesses and organizations, and stocking the shelves with books for families and young children.
Christian made the shelves and gave them three coats of paint. He worked on the project from August until November. He thanked the following businesses for donating to the project: Medina Lumber and Lockport Lumber gave wood; Evans Ace Hardware gave eight cans of paint and paintbrushes; Valu donated nails; Tractor Supply contributed paint rollers and drywalls screws.
Christian Hahn is pictured when he competed in the Pinewood Derby in January 2011, back when he was 11. He never won the event, “but I had a lot of fun.”
Christian will head to Wells College in the Finger Lakes this fall to major in computer science, and then he plans to go to Med School. He wants to works as a doctor in an emergency room.
In school he competed in track, volleyball, lacrosse, soccer and swimming. He also was in the musicals with Medina and Lyndonville students, including having the lead role of Gomez Addams in last weekend’s show of The Addams Family.
Although he has completed Scouts, Christian isn’t ending his Scouting career. He wants to stay active with the troop as a volunteer.
A cake celebrating Christian Hahn’s Scouting accomplishments was served after the ceremony today.

“Overlooked Orleans” – Vol. 4, No. 13
“I am waiting for my wife to grow up.” – Grover Cleveland
As a young bachelor in Buffalo, Cleveland was said to have muttered these very words to his sisters who frequently asked him about his intentions to marry. His statement, although witty, held a certain degree of truth and it is with that truth that the story of Frances Folsom is told.
In 1996 an historic roadside marker was installed at the corner of Main and Eagle Streets in Medina, denoting the structure that Folsom called home for a brief moment in her life during the 1870s. The marker reads:
“Frances Folsom lived here in the mid-1870s with her grandmother and attended Medina High School. In 1886 at age 21 she wed Pres. Grover Cleveland.”
The daughter of Oscar and Emma Harmon Folsom, Frances was born July 21, 1864 at Buffalo, New York where her father practiced law with Grover Cleveland in a firm known as Lanning, Cleveland and Folsom. Folsom and Cleveland became close friends after a failed run for the office of Erie County District Attorney left Cleveland with a sense of defeat. It was said that Cleveland doted on the young girl, purchasing the first baby carriage for Frances.
On July 23, 1875, Oscar Folsom was tragically killed when he was thrown from his carriage in Buffalo’s Black Rock district. Cleveland was made administrator of Folsom’s will, but sources vary on whether Cleveland was, in fact, made the legal guardian of Frances. Oscar’s widow and eleven-year-old daughter relocated to Medina to live with Ruth Harmon, the grandmother of Frances, while Cleveland settled the estate. During the approximately three years that she lived in Medina, “Frankie” as she was later known (a nickname much to her disliking), became a popular pupil among fellow students and teachers at the Medina high school. It was after Cleveland finalized his business partner’s estate that Emma and Frances returned to Buffalo.
Frances continued her studies at Central High School in Buffalo and eventually entered the sophomore class at Wells College where she was attending when Cleveland was inaugurated for his first term. Despite her best efforts to attend the prestigious event, she was not permitted to miss classes.
After her graduation in 1885, Frances was whisked off to Europe by her mother at the urging of Cleveland so that she could experience the culture of the old world. At this time it was suspected by the public that Emma was visiting Europe to purchase her wedding dress under the assumption that Cleveland was courting the elder Folsom. Upon their return to New York on May 27, 1886, an announcement was made the following day noting Cleveland’s engagement to Frances and not Emma as previously thought.
On June 2, 1886 Grover and Frances were wed in the Blue Room, the stately parlor on the first floor of the White House, becoming the only couple to celebrate their wedding in the executive mansion. Frances became an instant celebrity, the press following her every move. As a fashionable young woman, she frequently wore gowns that were edgy for the time.
Photo by Tom Rivers: There is a historic marker for Frances Folsom at the corner of Main and Eagle streets in Medina, near Hartway Motors.
The Women’s Christian Temperance Union was floored by her frequent wearing of gowns that revealed bare shoulders, claiming it negatively influenced young women. She quickly became a marketing tool for companies that used her likeness to sell goods. Others marketed goods on claims that she either purchased or used the goods herself, suggesting that Mrs. Cleveland was endorsing the products. Harper’s Magazine went as far as to feature her as a frequent cover subject, which undoubtedly assisted the periodical with the sale of issues.
While companies benefited from the marketability of the President’s wife, one Democratic Congressman attempted to pass a bill that would stop the widespread use of any woman’s image for commercial purposes without her written permission. Although the piece of legislation did not specifically address her by name, the bill was clearly aimed at alleviating the external pressures felt by the Clevelands at the hands of the corporate world. Suffering a heart attack at the age of 71, Grover Cleveland passed away on June 24, 1908; his widow 27 years younger than he, remained at Princeton, New Jersey where she would remarry to Thomas Preston nearly five years later. She died in her sleep on October 29, 1947 and was laid to rest next to her first husband in Princeton Cemetery.

MEDINA – The Medina Board of Education has adopted a $37,565,842 school budget that doesn’t include a tax increase in 2018-19.
The board approved the spending plan on Tuesday. It will go before voters on May 15.
The budget increases spending by $945,049 or 2.6 percent from the $36,620,793 budget for 2017-18.
The tax levy, however, will remain the same at $8,641,861. This is the seventh straight year Medina has either reduced taxes or held them in check, and the 10th out of the past 11 years, said Mark Kruzynski, the district superintendent.
Medina is proposing to eliminate 6.5 teaching positions and 2 buildings and grounds staff, due to retirement or resignation, he said.
The district will maintain all of its existing programs with the budget proposed for 2018-19, Kruzynski said.
MEDINA – The new Medina bowling team had a great first year, and Coach Robert Dennis said it was a positive experience for everyone involved, including himself.
“We had two matches at home at Medina Lanes and two matches away,” he said. “Competitions were at Newfane, Clarence, Sweet Home and Akron and we beat all four schools making us undefeated in our first year!”
At the end of this season, the team competed in a tournament at Brad Angelo Lanes in Lockport against six schools where they won and kept their undefeated status. Congratulations go to team members Ian Wagner, Jessica Granchelli, Lydia Bataglia, Ian Joseph, Elissa Blount, Morgan Allis, William Brazwell, Alex Allis, Morgan Crossett, Brandie Carson, Jackson Touhey, Enzo Gulliani, Joe and Tom Biacelli, Gracie Cogovan and Steven Secore.
“Without the support of Medina Lanes’ Eric Greenlief, Jim Foss, Tom Allis, along with owners Gerry Allen, Dr. David Stahl and Chris Bacon, we wouldn’t have been able to pull this off,” Dennis said. “My team practiced well over 80 games in this short season and they supported all our students in this new program. Also thanks to the Medina School Board for showing their support to the team. This group of kids are a joy to work with and was a very rewarding program for us all.”

Village trying to offer more incentives to stay with Medina long-term

Todd Draper also congratulates the officers who have all been on the force for less than a year. Corey Collins is at right.
MEDINA – The Village Board on Monday approved changes in the retirement programs for both career firefighters and police officers, allowing their retirement benefits to grow if they work more than 20 years.
The village has capped the benefits at 20 years or 50 percent of the average of the final three years of their salaries. With the switch to the 384-e retirement plan, an additional 1/60th of the final average salary will be added to the annual pension for each additional year on the job. If someone works three more years after year 20, they would see their pension grow by 5 percent.
The new changes take effect on March 30.
Village officials are hopeful expanding the retirement benefits will be an incentive for firefighters and police officers to spend their careers with Medina.
“We can’t the match the salaries (offered by many other departments), so we’re trying to improve the retirement,” said Village Trustee Owen Toale. “We have to do something to stem the loss of these people.”
The village has experienced a lot of turnover in recent years with some firefighters and police officers leaving for better pay and benefits at other departments. That then leaves vacancies, driving up overtime costs. The village often fills the positions by putting new firefighters and police officers through training academies. That can cost about $15,000 for a firefighter to go through the 11-week academy for pay and tuition. The police academy is nearly a year and costs the village about $50,000 before the officer begins road patrol.
There are 12 police officers and 21 career firefighters at Medina.
The change in the retirement plans will cost Medina about $26,000. Firefighters and police made concessions to cut that village expense in half. They have reduced clothing and cell phone allowances and also given back some of their training pay.
“Some of firefighters and police go to other municipalities that offer it,” Mayor Mike Sidari said about the retirement plan. “We can’t offer larger pay, but this would be an incentive to keep them longer.”

File photo by Tom Rivers: Village officials worry about pedestrian safety along Maple Ridge Road, which has seen several new businesses open in recent years.
MEDINA – The village has been approved for a $50,000 grant to study pedestrian and bicycle accommodations on Maple Ridge Road, from Bates Road to the former Ames Plaza.
Mayor Mike Sidari said the study should help Medina make its case for a state grant to help pay for sidewalks on that stretch of Maple Ridge and a pedestrian bridge over Oak Orchard Creek on Maple Ridge.
The $50,000 grant from GTC includes a $5,000 local match from the village for the “Maple Ridge Road Corridor Pedestrian and Bicycle Accommodations Feasibility Study.”
Medina applied for a TAP – Transportation Alternatives Grant – but was denied last year. The TAP is 80 percent federally funded with a 20 percent local share. The funding is from the federal government, but awarded by the state.
The sidewalk project with a small bridge would cost $1.3 million, according to initial cost estimates from Labella Associates in Rochester. To improve its chances for the next time funding is available, Medina will develop a plan for sidewalks on Maple Ridge Road. Medina intends to work with Wendel, a professional firm, on the study.
The mayor said he wants sidewalks on what has become a busy commercial strip with many residences nearby. There are currently sidewalks near the Route 63 intersection on Maple Ridge Road, but most of the road lacks sidewalks from Bates Road to the former Ames plaza.
Many people walk along Maple Ridge Road or use motorized wheelchairs. Sidari said the sidewalks would improve safety for many local residents.
Maple Ridge has become busier with GCC, manufacturing plants, chain stores and a residential community. The Orleans Economic Development Agency also is working to develop a hotel on Maple Ridge next to the Pride Pak vegetable processing plant.

Press Release, Medina Central School
MEDINA – The FFA students at the Medina High School have started to build Little Free Libraries to hopefully place at Rotary Park and Pine Street Park. The FFA needs the Village Board to OK the project.
The whole concept of a Little Free Library is a “take a book, return a book” exchange. Anyone may take or bring a book to share. It’s a great way for people to share their favorite books with members of their community.
FFA Advisor Mr. Todd Eick and his students are even making a traveling one that they can bring to the farmer’s market with them.
“I think it is a great idea and we have decided to fill our library with books on nature, animals and plants since that is what we enjoy,” Eick said.
The libraries have popped up all over America and are a way for communities to inspire a love of reading. It increases access to books for all readers of all ages which ties in nicely to the school district’s WE READ campaign.
“I was looking online to see where there are other little libraries like this and although there are many in Buffalo and Niagara and Monroe counties, there is a definite lack in Orleans County,” Eick said. “If we get this approved by the Village Board it will be a great way to make reading more accessible to everyone.”

MEDINA – The Village Board wants to welcome food truck operators for village events, but the board doesn’t want the operators to just cash in at the expense of food businesses with brick and mortar locations.
“We don’t want to take business away from the taxpaying businesses in Medina,” Mayor Mike Sidari said at Monday’s Village Board meeting.
The board, however, didn’t want to impose unreasonable fees that would keep the food trucks away.
“We want the food trucks because they are fun and draw people to the community,” said Marguerite Sherman, a village trustee.
The board decided to charge food truck operators $25 a day with a maximum presence of six days a month.
Businesses with brick-and-mortar locations within the village will be exempt from the fee. Not-for-profit organizations also will likely be exempt but they need to submit a request that will be reviewed by the Village Board.
In other action:
• The board agreed to set aside two docks at the Canal Basin for Pedal and Paddle Medina, which rents Hydrobikes and kayaks. The business, owned by Victor and Heather DiGiacomo of Middleport, opened last July in Medina. They will be charged $100 a month for each dock section, or $200 a month. The village also will designate one spot in the parking lot for the Pedal and Paddle, which carries some of the equipment on a trailer.
The business, the only of its kind along the canal in Orleans County, has been a welcome addition, said Owen Toale, a village trustee.
• The board agreed to provide barrels, barricades and a stage for the Lions Club’s community yard sale on June 2, but declined to provide portable bathrooms, saying it didn’t want to establish a precedent where the village provides bathrooms for community events.
• Approved use of part of Butts Park for LOYAL’s youth football and cheerleading program from Tuesday through Friday evenings from late July to early November.
• Agreed to close a section of West Avenue from Park Avenue to the property line by the Railroad Museum and Lee-Whedon Memorial Library. That part of the street will be closed to traffic for the annual “A Day Out with Thomas” when Thomas the Tank Engine is at the museum on May 19-20, and May 26-27.

Courtesy of Orleans EDA: The Orleans Economic Development Agency has given two new roads by Pride Pak on Route 31A to the Village of Medina. This map shows the 300-plus acre Medina Business Park, which the EDA says is the largest shovel-ready business park in Western New York. The site includes land north and south on Maple Ridge Road, just west of the Bates Road intersection.
MEDINA – The Village of Medina has two new roads. The Village Board on Monday accepted the roads, each about 300 feet long, from the Orleans Economic Development Agency.
The roads were built beginning about two years ago on each side of the new Pride Pak vegetable processing plant.
The Village Board hasn’t officially named either road, but one of the new roads will be named for Pride Pak while the board and EDA haven’t settled on the other name, village officials said after Monday’s Village Board meeting.
The EDA orchestrated the road construction to accommodate Pride Pak and future development at the Business Park. The Orleans County Highway Department took the lead on the road construction, and the Village of Medina DPW installed the sewer infrastructure, with the Town of Shelby Highway Department helping with both the road and sewer work.
The EDA typically takes the lead in getting new roads built in a business park, and then turns the finished road over to the host municipality.
The road on the east side of Pride Pak is done, but the western drive has the potential to go farther into the business park and connect with another road off Bates Road, said Jim Whipple, the EDA chief executive officer.

Site will include 3 fenced-in areas by Compost Plant
MEDINA – After about a year discussion, the Medina Village Board this evening gave the final approval for a new dog park, which will include three fenced-in areas by the Compost Plant on North Gravel Road, just south of Boxwood Cemetery.
Alaina Wilson has been leading the effort for the dog park. She will now push to raise $15,000 to $20,000 for the project.
“It’s for the people, and the dogs, and our village,” she told the Village Board.
The village last year first presented Gulf Street Park, north of the canal, for the dog park, but neighbors said they were concerned the park would bring unwanted noise and smells to their residential area.
The fenced-in area will have two sets of gates to enter. There will be separate fenced-in areas for small dogs, large dogs and also an agility area.
The enclosed area will allow dogs to be off-leash, with the area exclusive to dogs and their handlers.
There were two residents this evening who voiced concerns about the project at the Compost Plant, saying it may bother residents and visitors to the cemetery.
Excessive barking won’t be tolerated and dog owners will be expected to clean up after the dogs. Wilson said the people that use a dog park care about their animals and want them to get exercise and socialization.
Wilson said she will work to set up a GoFundMe for the park. Donations can also be set to the Village Office and be designated for the Dog Park. Wilson said the fundraising success will determine how soon the park can open.
Mayor Mike Sidari said the park will be open sunrise to sunset, just like the other village parks.
Wilson will take the lead in fundraising to construct the site. Sidari said the village may have to pay an extra $1,500 a year for insurance for the dog park.
Village Trustee Owen Toale said the dog park will be a addition for the community, and also the first one in Orleans County.
“We’re providing services to the residents of Medina,” Toale said. “It improves the quality of life.”

MEDINA – The school district has tweeted its disapproval of recent comments by former Vice President Joe Biden and President Donald Trump, where they challenge each other to a fight.
Biden started taunts on Tuesday when he was speaking an anti-sexual assault rally at the University of Miami. He told students if he and Trump had attended high school together, Biden probably would have “beat the hell out” of Trump.
Trump on Thursday morning put out a tweet: “Crazy Joe Biden is trying to act like a tough guy. Actually, he is weak, both mentally and physically, and yet he threatens me, for the second time, with physical assault. He doesn’t know me, but he would go down fast and hard, crying all the way. Don’t threaten people Joe!”
The Medina School District today at about 10:30 this morning urged Trump and Biden to be better role models.
“President Trump tweeted that he would destroy Joe Biden in a fight, after the former VP said he would beat up Trump,” Medina Central School District tweeted. “If students did something similar to these two 70+ year olds, they’d be disciplined per code of conduct. Adults-remember you are role models and kids are watching!”
“I am waiting for my wife to grow up.” – Grover Cleveland
