MEDINA – While on routine patrol on Friday night, Medina Police Officer Zangerle noticed heavy smoke in the 1000 block of Gwinn Street. Not seeing any chimneys smoking in the area, Officer Zangerle had the Fire Department dispatched for a smoke investigation while he checked out the rear of a residence.
Simultaneously that resident was investigating the odor of plastic burning in her home as Officer Zangerle knocked on her door to alert her of a possible fire with the amount of smoke coming from the eves and roof vents of her house.
Medina Engine 11 and Ladder 40 arrived on scene and requested the balance of the first alarm assignment for a structure fire with smoke coming from the basement windows and the roof vents. Crews quickly found and contained a fire in the wall behind the fireplace in a rear room of the structure.
Lyndonville crews were cancelled and Shelby crews assisted on scene with laddering the structure as well as with ventilation of the basement and attic. Village and County fire investigators are investigating the fire at this time, the cause is not suspicious. Thanks to all agencies involved in this call.
There were no working smoke detectors in the residence. The homeowner was home with a fire burning in the fireplace and was seeking out the odor in her house as the police witnessed smoke coming from the attic. This minor fire could have had deadly results if it had occurred at 3 a.m. while people were asleep.
We urge you to check and maintain your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors because early detection and warning of the smoke and/or toxic gases will save your life.

“Overlooked Orleans” – Volume 3, Issue 48
This photograph, taken prior to 1915, shows the main office located within the administration building of the Western House of Refuge (now the Albion Correctional Facility). Miss Alice E. Curtin, the superintendent, stands in the center of the room shaking the hand of a young woman who is preparing to depart the facility on parole. Standing near the door is Miss Katherine Capitola Grinnell, the institution’s parole officer, who is prepared to escort the young woman to the railroad depot.
Miss Curtin ran a conservative operation at the House of Refuge as the institution was intended to rehabilitate young women who failed or refused to adhere to the strict gender norms of the time. The 1914 annual report for the Western House of Refuge shows that the inmate population totaled 238 women at the conclusion of the fiscal year with an annual average of 229 inmates; the facility’s capacity was rated at 215.
Young women were forced to sleep in corridors and public areas while healthy and sick women were forced to share sleeping quarters in the hospital. The Board of Managers previously requested $35,000 in funding to construct a new cottage along with $25,000 for a new cottage for the care of the institution’s infant population, but Governor Glynn vetoed the appropriations. A portion of the total appropriations were earmarked for the construction of an iron fence that was meant to prevent visitors from wandering onto the grounds.
The institution remained under the direction of Miss Curtin until her resignation in October of 1915; Mrs. Flora P. Daniels of Buffalo was appointed in her place at an annual salary of $1,500. Annual reports from the years leading up to 1919 provide valuable insight into the operations of the institution. Girls were taught to read and write, attending school just as children would.
In addition to basic school subjects, inmates were taught how to cook, care for the kitchen, plan and serve meals, sew, cane chairs, weave rugs, and launder clothes. The farm provided sustenance for the young women, growing crops, raising livestock, and preserving food. In 1919 the institution’s farm produced 18,247 quarts of milk, 1,453 dozen eggs, 1,389 pounds of fresh pork, and 8,703 pounds of carrots.
Of those women brought to the House of Refuge, 47 were committed for vagrancy, 20 for immorality, 14 for petit larceny, five for habitual intoxication, three for adultery, two for manslaughter, and one for bigamy. Upon their arrival they were examined by a physician, 73 of those women treated for cases of syphilis, 24 with menstrual disorders, 21 with gonorrhea, and 17 with tonsillitis. A dentist and oculist were also on call to examine the women, to which 215 teeth were filled during the year and an additional 280 teeth extracted. Nearly 50% of the women were between the ages of 16 and 18, 73 were Protestant, 29 were Catholic, and 1 was Jewish, while 92% of the inmates were native-born citizens.
The transition from Miss Curtin’s conservative ideologies to Mrs. Daniel’s more progressive mentality created a rift on the Board of Managers. After Miss Grinnell’s dismissal in 1919, Gov. Charles Whitman initiated an examination of the institution based on accusations of incompetency. Aurilla Desmond, a former matron, testified that Daniels was lax in her management and frequently traveled away from the institution. A farm worker, who resigned his position the year prior, claimed that his departure was in part due to the poor conditions of the facility.
It was later determined that Mrs. Daniels had expressed concerns about Miss Grinnell’s shortcomings to the Board of Managers, including an accusation that she played the phonograph on Sunday (which Grinnell did not deny). These shortcomings were used as grounds for dismissal. Upon further investigation, the NYS Senators charged with the investigation determined that the true issue at the House of Refuge was the considerable amount of friction between the Managers and the Superintendent, to which the former should be replaced in its entirety.
Miss Grinnell, a former school teacher in West Barre, later found employment at the Rome Institution for Feeble Minded Children. An Orleans County native, she was buried in Mt. Albion Cemetery after her death in 1928.

Brook Drake shows tremendous determination on the Albion girls cross country team
Photos by Tom Rivers: Brook Drake fights off the pain in the last stretch of the Niagara-Orleans League meet on Oct. 28 at Lakeside Beach State Park in Carlton.
ALBION – Cross country meets are emotional for Tim and Kathy Drake. Their daughter, Brook, has competed the past two years for the Albion girls team.
She isn’t the fastest runner. She pushes herself through the open fields, the turns in the woods, and the steep inclines on hills along the 3.1-mile courses.
“She is amazing,” Brook’s father said. “I don’t think people realize how amazing she is. I still have to fight back the tears when I see her run.”
It was nearly 18 years ago when Brook was born 3 months premature on Dec. 1, 1999. She was a preemie that weighed 1 pound, 3 ounces. She was 10 ½ inches long.
The Drakes weren’t able to hold her because her skin was so thin and fragile. Doctors are Strong Memorial Hospital weren’t optimistic she would survive.
Mr. Drake remembers being in the hospital with about 50 other premature babies. He recalled hearing parents break down, sobbing when a son or daughter didn’t survive.
Brook could breathe on her own when she was born after 24 weeks. That was a good sign. Her amniotic fluid was infected, resulting in her early birth.
“The doctors said she would not run,” Mr. Drake recalled. “They said she would never have the lung capacity. They said to not expect too much, but too push her. She wouldn’t be like your other children.”
Brook, who has five other siblings ages 14 to 25, spent her first six months at Strong. She didn’t start walking until she was 2 ½. She had a hard time on her feet because she struggled to keep her balance.
She started talking at 4, and continues to have a stutter today. She suffered monthly grand mal seizures from when she was 4 until she was 13. Two years ago she needed significant surgery on her nose and face to correct a deviated septum.
“People have no idea what this child has been through,” her father said.
The Drakes said there were frequent trips to the emergency room due to the seizures, and the falls. With the seizures, her body would stiffen and foam would come out of her mouth.
“There have been lots of ambulance rides and hospital stays,” Mr. Drake said. “She has been through hell.”
Courtesy of the Drake family: Tim Drake’s hand is about the same size of his daughter Brook when she was born three months premature. Brook spent her first six months at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester.
For many years Brook needed a breathing machine in the morning and a night to help open her lungs. She did that until she was 13. She hated it.
Brook is in a 12:1:1 special education classroom at Albion. The district has an aide to work with her and her classmates.
Each year there is a meeting with Brook’s parents and her teachers and school administrators to discuss her IEP (Individualized Education Program). It was late in Brook’s freshman year when the school was working on a plan for her sophomore year when physical education teacher Ann Capacci suggested Brook run cross country.
Tim and Kathy Drake and pictured with their daughter Brook on Wednesday at their home in Albion.
The Drakes thought it was a farfetched idea. Mr. Drake, in particular, didn’t want to set Brook up for failure or disappointment.
“I didn’t see it happening,” said Mr. Drake, who is retired from General Motors in Rochester. “I didn’t think she would be able to breathe.”
Capacci was determined. “I want her run,” Drake recalled her saying. “Brook can run.”
Brook is 4 foot, 9 inches and wears size 3 ½ shoes. She had never competed in a sport. In August 2016, she joined the cross country team.
“I figured I should challenge myself and see what I’m capable of doing,” she said.
The first runs were at Mount Albion Cemetery, with lots of winding paths and hills in hot and humid weather.
“The first few months it was a challenge for me,” Brook said at her home on Wednesday at Oak Orchard Estates. “As it progressed, it was nothing for me.”
Many of the runners don’t last until the end of the season. The distances are too much for them.
Brook found many friends on the team.
“They don’t care if you have a disability,” she said about her teammates. “They take you in and we always talk. They are super nice to me.”
She also has found freedom in running.
“Cross country has changed my life for the better,” Brook said. “It has made me a better person. I have gone from never doing anything to where you’ll never see me not doing anything.”
Brook ran track last year, but didn’t enjoy it as much as the cross country. In track, the distance is shorter and the runners are confined to an oval. Brook likes the all-terrain, cross country courses.
“I just want to run more and more and more,” she said.
She was back for a second season this year, and set a personal best with 26:39 at the McQuaid meet in Rochester. She fought through a leg cramp in the league meet to finish in 28:31. Her parents could see the anguish on her face, but Brook kept going. Her father proudly notes that Brook has never dropped out of a race.
In the big races with more than 100 runners, Brook passes people throughout the race. Her parents hear her give the other runners encouraging words as she goes by them. Her father wishes she would save her breath because it takes extra effort to speak those words during a grueling race.
But that’s not Brook.
“If I’m having a bad day, she is the first one to give me a hug,” her mother said.
On Wednesday, Brook thanked her mom and dad.
“I can’t imagine my life without their support,” she said.
‘She is amazing. I don’t think people realize how amazing she is.’
Mr. Drake apologized to Brook for his reluctance in having her join the cross country team.
“I failed her in giving her the encouragement,” he said. “I didn’t think she could do it.”
Tim and Kathy Drake both praised the early intervention services Brook received at Rainbow Preschool. That helped Brook make big gains in speech and walking.
The cross country running has Brook open to trying other sports and planning for her future. Brook wants to be more involved in the school. She is trying basketball cheerleading, although she said the choreography and cheers so far are very challenging. But she is determined to learn the steps and cheers.
She is a junior and has another year of cross country. Then she wants to go to college to study photography.
“I know I can do it once I set my mind to it,” she said.
Her parents want to stop back at Strong Memorial to thank the nurses and doctors for their care when Brook was so little.
“I want to take her (running) stats to Strong to show them what she did, and show them who they helped save,” Mr. Drake said.

Press Release, Roland Nenni, Albion and Holley police chief
On Wednesday from 9 p.m. until 3:30 a.m. today the Albion Police Department hosted and supervised a multi-agency Orleans County Wide DWI Saturation Patrol.
This detail combined the law enforcement efforts from every law enforcement agency in the county along with New York State Parole, the Orleans County Probation Department and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The agencies involved consisted of the Albion Police, Medina Police, Holley Police, Orleans County Sheriff’s Office, New York State Police, Orleans County Probation, New York State Parole and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The detail results are as follows:
DWI Arrests: 7 with 5 in the Village of Albion (Albion PD), 1 in the Town of Albion (State Police) and 1 in the Town of Murray (State Police)
NY State Police – 15 stops, 2 Driving While Intoxicated Arrest, 4 Total Tickets Issued
Orleans County Sheriff’s Office – 19 stops – 9 Total Tickets Issued
The Albion Police Department and the other Law Enforcement agencies are committed to making the roadways safe for all those who travel upon them.
This is the fourth year a Saturation Patrol was conducted. Compared to previous years, this year’s detail had an increase in vehicle stops but the percentage of intoxicated drivers remained comparably the same. The data from this year’s detail indicates that approximately 5 percent of the motorists stopped were intoxicated, whereas in previous years we have seen data as high as 20 percent of the motorists stopped were intoxicated.
This is positive news in our efforts to reduce accidents caused by intoxicated drivers. The reduction of DWI Arrests is a positive and motivating factor when these types of details are conducted. Many believe that law enforcement want to make more DWI arrests during these details, however we like to see the opposite. Law enforcement stopped many people and found the overwhelming majority to be responsible and not under the influence of alcohol. We also encountered several intoxicated passengers with sober designated drivers.
Intoxicated drivers do not follow jurisdictional lines, so we decided that we would not either. The Albion Police Department and its partners are planning similar details for the future. We will continue to use every resource and tool available to create a reduction in offenders and arrest those who continue to endanger others by driving while intoxicated.
The commitment and dedication by the officers, deputies and troopers who worked the detail undoubtedly saved lives in Orleans County by making arrests and sending a clear message to deter others from drinking and driving.

File photo: Holley’s Parade of Lights passes through the Public Square in December 2013. The parade returns on Dec. 2.
HOLLEY – The Village of Holley Night of Lights is set for Saturday, Dec. 2, in the Village Square from 4 to 6:30 p.m.
Mayor Brian Sorochty discussed changes and new additions to the annual event during last week’s Village Board meeting. The Community Events Committee has been working to organize and re-vamp this year’s event. Dr. Krista Wiley-Neale, who is a member of the committee, provided additional details.
This year the event has been expanded and will begin earlier in the day – at 4 p.m.
Wiley-Neale said businesses around the Village Square will host wine tastings and craft vendors inside. There will be holiday music, hot cocoa and a spaghetti dinner available at the Community Center. The cost of the spaghetti dinner is $3.
The Rotary Club will have its food cart and Boy Scouts will be selling wreaths. Friendship B.B.C. will have games, food and balloons. The Holley Community Free Library will host Santa, as well as cookies, carols and a movie.
Organizers are planning for a parade at 6:30 p.m. with the Memory Bulb and Tree Lighting to follow.
Memory bulbs are $5 each and can be purchased at the Holley Village Office. The Village tree will be moved this year, Mayor Sorochty said. It will remain in the Public Square, but closer to the former bank building as maple trees are beginning to crowd out the area closer to the fountain where the tree has traditionally been placed.
Instead of multi-colored lights, Mayor Sorochty announced the tree will be lit entirely in blue lights, “out of respect for emergency services and police officers for the work they do,” he explained.
The celebration will then move to the Fire Hall for the annual holiday party with performances by members of the Holley Central School chorus and band, cookies, snacks and hot chocolate.
Village also approves security enhancements at Village Office
In other business, Village Trustees approved purchasing materials to construct a wall with a payment window at the village offices. The wall will provide security for office staff. Materials for the project include framing, wall material, an interior door, new exterior door and the payment window at a cost of $1803.24.
Additionally, trustees approved spending $1524.17 for the purchase of a new camera system and door locks for the office.

Donate a toy or $5 and win a chance for a fun outing in Medina
MEDINA – The Old Tyme Christmas celebration on Saturday in Medina is packed with events to usher in the holiday season. It also includes a new opportunity to donate a toy for local children.
Andrew Szatkowski has put together 20 packages to entice donations of toys or $5 that will be used to buy presents. The toys and funds will be turned over to Community Action of Orleans & Genesee and the Medina Area Association of Churches, which both do toy drives each year.
“In our county there are children that need toys,” Szatkowski said. “I think it’s important as a community that we step up. There are children that need help.”
Szatkowski wanted to do a one-day toy effort timed when about 8,000 people are expected in the Medina downtown for the Olde Time Christmas celebration on Saturday, which is capped by the Parade of Lights at 6.
People are urged to bring an unwrapped toy to Canalside Tattoo at 540 Main St., or donate $5. For each toy or $5 donated, people will receive a ticket for a chance to win one of 20 “Medina Experience” packages.
The local restaurants and other service businesses have all donated for the packages to help encourage people to give to the toy drive. People can pick which of the 20 packages they want to try to win.
Szatkowski said the businesses were all quick to respond and donate to the raffle.
“The response has been great,” he said. “The energy in Medina’s business district is awesome.”
Szatkowski, who works at Takeform Architectural Graphics, wants to see “a pile of toys” that are dispersed to children in the community.

Press Release, Medina Central School
MEDINA – Multiple literary award winner and nominee, Julie Berry, recently stopped into the Medina Middle School and High School to give several workshops and talk about her craft.
Mrs. Berry, a native of Medina and a graduate from the school district, has written over 20 books and has received many accolades for her work in young adult fiction and children’s literature. In June, she released her newest book, “The Emperor’s Ostrich” which is geared towards children 8 to 12 years of age. She ended her day with a book signing at the Lee-Whedon Memorial Library.
At the Middle School, Mrs. Berry presented two types of workshops.
“One was inspirational about her life growing up in Medina and how thankful she was for the opportunity to go to school here with so many wonderful teachers,” said 7th grade teacher Melinda Hill. “The second presentation was a writing workshop where Julie led the students through the type if decision-making she goes through when creating a story. She worked on a large board at the front of the room and students came up with their own ideas. They created a character, who wants something they can’t have, enemies and friends of the character and then plotted out how the character can journey to achieve their goal. My students showed they thoroughly enjoyed the writing workshop by bringing wonderful ideas back to class that they were proud to share with me and others.”
High School English teacher, Karen Jones, was a classmate of Mrs. Berry’s and has been reading Mrs. Berry’s “All the Truth That’s In Me” with her classes for the past three years. Publisher’s Weekly calls it, “Suspenseful and haunting.”
“The fact that Julie graduated from Medina shows them this is what an author looks like,” Jones said. “This is what you can grow up to be. That is encouraging, even to someone like me, a teacher, who has hopes of being an author. I want them to think, maybe I can do that too, no matter what I do.”
The senior students had many questions for Berry about her writing process, what inspires her stories and what advice she would give anyone who wanted to be an author.
“She is just so energizing and encouraging,” Jones said. “She comes all the way from Los Angeles to talk to the students and it means so much to all of us.”
The dedication to her new book says it all: “To the thousands of children who brainstormed with me in creative writing workshops. To answer the question you frequently ask me; yes, this is really how I write a story. This one is for you.”
As we near this year’s turkey day, Assemblyman Steve Hawley (R,C,I-Batavia) is wishing residents an enjoyable and safe Thanksgiving holiday while also asking them to consider donating some food or their time to a local food pantry or organization to help those who are less fortunate enjoy a warm Thanksgiving meal.
“Thanksgiving is one of the most important holidays of the year in that it allows us pause in our busy and stressful lives to reflect on what is truly important, our collective bond as families and a community and the good fortune we have enjoyed over the past year,” Hawley said. “Unfortunately, not all families are privileged enough to afford a large meal this Thanksgiving, and it is especially important during this time to come together as a community and help those in need.
“Something as simple as a couple of cans of food or box of stuffing will mean so much to a local family, and I encourage everyone who is able to donate a couple of items or their time to one of our local food pantries or organizations which do tremendous work this time of year,” Hawley said.
Some food pantries in Orleans County include:
• Albion:
Orleans Community Action, 409 E State St.
Community Kitchen at Christ Church, 26 South Main St.
• Holley:
Eastern Orleans Community Center, 75 Public Square
St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 2 Jackson St.
• Medina:
Calvary Cupboard Food Pantry, 324 Catherine St.
St. Peter Evangelical Lutheran Church, 1357 West Ave.
(Editor’s Note: Other food pantries in Orleans County are welcome to send an email to be included on the list at news@orleanshub.com.)
