Information from Assemblyman Steve Hawley and Assemblyman Mike Norris

ALBANY – Assemblyman Steve Hawley (R,C-Batavia) rallied today with the Assembly and Senate Minority in the call for an increased allocation of funds for local roads and bridges as part of this year’s budget. Local roads and bridges are often in disrepair and require support from the state to help with maintenance and management, and Hawley believes the budget should allocate for it.

“I am imploring the legislature and the governor to include an additional $200 million for local road and bridge maintenance and an additional $70 million for Extreme Winter Recovery,” Hawley said. “With the governor’s proposed budget of $228 billion it would behoove the legislature and governor to assure the $270 million is made available for our local roads and bridges that our taxpayers travel every day.”

Assemblyman Mike Norris (R,C-Lockport) issued this statement:

“For the future of our state, it’s essential that this budget gets back to basics. Safe, passable roads, bridges and culverts and sewers that provide drainage from flooding and protect our water supply are the basic services our government should provide along with public protection measures.

“With the extreme weather events we have experienced all across our state, but particularly in Western New York, this is not the time to cut or hold flat funding for the programs that provide this fundamental money. As the Ranking Member of the Assembly Transportation Committee, I’ve been working hard to encourage my colleagues this budget season to make smart investments to rebuild, restore and revitalize our local infrastructure along with continued expansion of our broadband. These services are essential to every New Yorker and critical for our economic success.”

‘Storm spotters are, and always will be, an indispensable part of the severe local storm warning program’

Press Release, National Weather Service in Buffalo

ALBION – The Buffalo office of the National Weather Service, in cooperation with Orleans County Emergency Management will be conducting a SKYWARN spotter training seminar at the Hoag Library, 134 South Main St., in Albion on Wednesday May 3, at 7 p.m.

SKYWARN is a national effort to save lives during severe weather emergencies with an expanding network of trained volunteer weather spotters. SKYWARN spotters support their local community and government by providing reports of severe weather directly to the National Weather Service in Buffalo by phone using the NWS spotter hotline, or by online reporting. The services performed by SKYWARN spotters have saved many lives.

The National Weather Service has a number of devices for detecting severe thunderstorms, including Doppler radar, satellite, and lightning detection networks. However, the most important tool for observing thunderstorms is the trained eye of the storm spotter. By providing observations, SKYWARN spotters assist National Weather Service staff in their warning decisions and enable the National Weather Service to fulfill its mission of protecting life and property. Storm spotters are, and always will be, an indispensable part of the severe local storm warning program.

The basic training session provides a brief overview of the National Weather Service organization and our responsibilities, severe weather safety, and basic severe weather meteorology including how thunderstorms, severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, and flash floods form.

Anyone can become a severe weather spotter for the National Weather Service. SKYWARN training is free and open to the public.

For further information, you can call the National Weather Service at (716) 565-0204 ext. 223. Registration is required. The registration form link and more information about SKYWARN is available on the NWS Buffalo website at http://www.weather.gov/buf/Skywarn.

ALBION – The school district has upgraded three of its weight rooms using $102,074 from its federal American Rescue Plan Act allotment.

The new equipment is now in place at two rooms in the middle and one in the high school. The middle school has two different weight rooms – one for strength and one for function. The high school has a room for cardio fitness.

Albion purchased five new units of strength equipment including dumbbells and benches, a variety of safer functional items – mats, TRX suspension trainers, Rack5 Storage, Kettlebells, Core Bags, Foam Rollers, Medicine Balls, Stability Balls and Resistance Bands, said Rick Recckio, school business administrator.

The new cardio equipment includes rowers, AMTs, a Stair Climber, bikes and treadmills.

Recckio went over the improvements and remodeled weight rooms during Monday’s Board of Education meeting. He said the older equipment will be scrapped because of its poor condition.

The federal government approved $4,265,000 for the district’s total ARPA funding.

The former athletic director’s office in the high school now has cardio machines. This is a room near the cafeteria that is also used by the athletic trainers.

About a dozen business people and local officials attended the event.

MEDINA – A dozen business people from the local area attended the final Coffee and Conversation get-together Monday morning at the Quiet Eye on East Center Street.

Attendees included Medina Mayor Mike Sidari; Lyndonville Mayor John Belson; District Attorney Joe Cardone, owner of the Medina Theatre; first assistant district attorney Susan Howard; Medina village trustees Tim Elliott, Jess Marciano and Marguerite Sherman; representatives of the Cancer Services Program; Mario Campana, new owner of Corky’s Bakery building and the former Houseman Funeral Home on Park Avenue; and several other people from the business community.

Darlene Hartway, the Chamber director, explained the meetings were developed after the Chamber board felt there was a need to find out the pulse in each community and their view on the obstacles or hurdles they face.

“We can’t help them if we don’t know what their needs and concerns are,” Hartway said.

The meetings took place periodically in Albion, Holley, Lyndonville and Kendall. Medina’s was the last one.

“Each has unique issues, even Lyndonville which doesn’t have a lot of huge businesses,” Hartway said. “They don’t want huge businesses. They are happy with small ones.”

Sidari shared some of the projects Medina plans to accomplish with its recent grant, including developing a path to Medina Falls and adding parking spaces. He said the grant committee is considering façade grants of $5,000 for each storefront.

Hartway explained the Chamber relies solely on member dues for its funding. The organization’s focus is promoting the county, advocating and educating.

She said the Chamber sponsors four major events a year: a legislative luncheon; Home Show, scheduled April 1 and 2; a wine walk featuring Orleans County wineries and distilleries, held at the Robin Hill Nature Preserve in Lyndonville; and the annual business awards ceremony in October.

The Chamber also sponsors “Business After Hours” events the third Thursday of each month at a different business in the county.

Cardone shared the challenges faced by law enforcement in every county because of the Bail Reform law. Criminals know they are likely not going to jail, so they get arrested and go right back out and do it all over again. He said the average person who goes to state prison has been arrested 12 times.

Cardone also said in recent years the number of judges in Orleans County has been reduced from 24 to 9.

Howard explained another problem is the fact the age for charging an individual as an adult has been changed from 18 to 16. That means if teens commit a serious crime, they aren’t going to be incarcerated with adults and could be free to commit more crimes.

Sidari also reported the New York Power Authority is putting up money to develop an art trail, which would include Medina. They have hired a designer and hope to have an art festival every three years.

Now that the Coffee and Conversation meetings have come to an end, Hartway said the Chamber will be concentrating on working with agencies to address the issues that were brought up at the meetings.

Danny’s Equipment, which includes small engine repair, to close on June 30

Photos by Tom Rivers: Danny Dill and his wife Nancy are in the show room today at Danny’s Equipment at 122 W. Albion St. (Route 31) in Holley. Dill is retiring on June 30 and will be closing the business which he started at age 21 in 1977.

HOLLEY – Danny Dill is calling it a career. For nearly 50 years he has sold outdoor power equipment and repaired small engines.

On June 30, he is retiring and closing Danny’s Equipment at 122 West Albion St. He started the business when he was 21 in 1977. He has grown the size of the business, and added two full-time employees. His wife Nancy also joined the operation in 1986 as the accountant and office manager.

“Thank you to all of the people who have supported us over the years,” Dill said today at Danny’s. “We have enjoyed it.”

Dill, 67, and his wife are going to retire while they feel very healthy and can travel to see their daughter out west and Dill’s sister in Idaho. They want to enjoy life without the daily demands of running the business.

Dill said sales have steadily grown each year with people seeking snowblowers, lawn mowers, power blowers, chainsaws, log splitters and weed trimmers. Dill manages the sales while Mark Jackman has been the small engine repair mechanic for 25 years. Ian McGraw has worked for Danny’s the past two years. He does some repairs and makes deliveries, helping customers set up the equipment.

Danny’s is a dealer for products made by Stihl, Toro and Ariens.

“Our service and knowledge is what sets us apart,” he said. “It gives us an advantage.”

Danny Dill has been a fixture along Route 31, selling lawn mowers, snowblowers and other outdoor power equipment.

Danny’s has worked with customers going back two to three generations. They like equipment that he calls “labor savings devices,” especially in winter when it’s much easier to start a snowblower than shovel heavy snow.

The zero-turn lawnmowers have been especially popular in the past 25 years. Customers with big yards can cover a lot of ground in about half the time as a typical riding lawn mower, and the zero-turn mower has much more maneuverability, Dill said.

“People are very busy,” he said. “They want something where they can get the job done faster.”

Dill also has seen a transition to more battery-powered equipment.

He was planning a career as automotive technician. He earned a degree from Alfred State in auto tech, but instead started fixing lawnmowers. His services were in demand right away and Dill never looked back.

“It’s been a very challenging career,” he said. “I’ve always looked forward to it, to coming to work each day.”

ALBION – Katharine Waite, Albion’s high school vice principal, will be retiring on March 31. She was worked at Albion for nearly eight years, after 10 years as a principal at Perry Central School.

The Board of Education on Monday appointed Dan Monacelli to fill in as interim vice principal, beginning after spring recess on April 10 until the end of the school year in late June.

Monacelli, an Albion resident, retired as the middle school principal in 2017. He also has filled in as an interim junior-senior high school principal in Holley for three months in late 2018 and early 2019.

Mickey Edwards, the Albion district superintendent, said he reached out across Western New York and there weren’t any other candidates for the position to close out the school year. He said he appreciated Monacelli’s willingness to come back to the district in the interim position.

In other action during the board meeting on Monday:

• School resource officer Matthew Prawel, a deputy with the Orleans County Sheriff’s Office, outlined how his first year has been going with the district so far. Prawel said his main focus is the security of the campus. He has connected with other law enforcement agencies, giving them a color-coded map showing different zones of the school buildings.

Prawel said he would welcome more chances to connect with students and staff but most of his time is dedicated to security and safety.

He recommended the board add a second school resource officer, either through the Sheriff’s Office or Albion Police Department. That would increase a safety response and also allow for more positive connections between students and the school resource officers, Prawel said.

• Brad Pritchard, the middle school principal, gave a presentation to the board on how the middle school is doing more computer based testing, which he said not only measures academics but familiarizes students with keyboarding, software and using Google Docs and other software.

• Approved a trip to Boston from May 26-28 for 18 students from minority backgrounds. The trip for the Girls Leadership Group is covered through a Community Schools grant.

• Changed the date of the Honors Convocation for graduating seniors with GPAs at 90 percent or higher from May 11 to May 4. The date was changed so some of the seniors can be a part of the “Stars of Tomorrow” program featuring students in the musical. They will be able to perform at the Rochester Broadway Theatre League.

• Julianna Kuntz was recognized with the elementary student leadership award and Brody Furness was honored with the elementary school character award.

The New York State Association of Counties last week presented Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer with its Executive Director’s Public Service Award during the 2023 NYSAC Legislative Conference in Albany.

Charles Schumer

The NYSAC Executive Director’s Public Service Award is presented annually to leaders who make outstanding contributions to county governments in New York State. Past recipients include Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Governor George Pataki, and Westchester County Executive George Latimer.

“Thank you so much for the honor of this year’s Executive Director’s award,” said Senator Schumer. “My work wouldn’t be possible without all of you.”

Senator Schumer accepted the award from Washington, D.C. via video. Click here to see his response.

The NYSAC Executive Director’s Public Service Award is an opportunity to recognize a New York leader who goes above and beyond the ordinary call of duty in service to the counties of New York State and the residents they serve. NYSAC Executive Director Stephen Acquario noted many examples of Senator Schumer’s support for New York’s counties, including his leadership through the Great Recession to his ongoing commitment to supporting efforts to bring new economic development opportunities to our communities.

“It’s often said that it’s easy to be a friend when times were good, but when times are hard, true friends reveal themselves,” Acquario said in presenting the award. “Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, we knew we could rely on Senator Schumer to be our champion in Washington. His leadership and unwavering support for New York’s counties were critical to securing the financial lifeline counties needed to fight the pandemic and provide essential services to the people of New York State. I’m proud to present Senator Schumer with this award and honored to call him a friend.”

NYSAC was established by County officials in 1925. Its mission is to foster excellence in county government and unite the voice of New York’s county leaders. NYSAC serves all 57 counties and the City of New York.

Press Release, Congresswoman Claudia Tenney  

WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24) announced the launch of the Community Project Funding (CPF) process for Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24).

The FY24 CPF process is open to local governments and non-profits. The program allows localities and non-profits to submit requests for federal funding for high-priority community projects in New York’s 24th District.

All projects are vetted thoroughly and subject to strict oversight. They must also demonstrate strong local support. CPF is targeted and limited; this year, it is capped at .5% of federal spending.

The CPF process is an important way for members of Congress to advocate on behalf of essential projects that benefit our communities. It provides transparency, accountability, and oversight to the funding process, rather than simply relying on bureaucrats to make critical funding decisions behind closed doors without congressional input.

All CPF applications supported by Congresswoman Tenney’s office must meet rigorous eligibility requirements, as outlined in the appropriations guidance. Additionally, applicants must demonstrate strong community support for projects as well as a clear plan to execute funds in a timely manner with strong accountability measures built in. Tenney’s office works closely with all grantees every step of the way to vet requests and ensure awarded funds are spent responsibly and for their intended purpose.

Congresswoman Tenney’s office has generally prioritized projects focused on investing in or expanding infrastructure, especially for rural communities with limited funds. This includes projects to bring clean water, broadband access, and much more to our region.

Local elected officials and non-profits interested in submitting applications for projects should visit Tenney’s website (click here) for more information.

Those with questions should contact Tenney’s Washington, DC office directly at 202-225-3665. The deadline for submissions is March 17.

Case-Nic also doing basket raffle as fundraiser for agency

Photos by Ginny Kropf: (Left) From left, Mary Lou Tuohey and her sisters Laura McDonough and Amy Murray set up a window display at Case-Nic Cookies to promote a basket raffle in celebration of March as “Developmental Disabilities Month.” (Right) Nicole Tuohey, left, and her mom Mary Lou give feedback to Mary Lou’s sisters, Laura McDonough, left, in the window and Amy Murray who are helping set up a display at Case-Nic Cookies for a window basket raffle to benefit ARC Glow.

MEDINA – Case-Nic Cookies is again celebrating March as “Developmental Disabilities Month” by urging everyone to “have a heart.”

The business’s owner, Mary Lou Tuohey, wants to send a message that no one should be judged by their disabilities.

Nicole Tuohey holds a cookie which her mom’s shop, Case-Nic Cookies, is selling, along with bracelets Nicole made to benefit ARC Glow.

In support of Developmental Disabilities Month, Tuohey and her daughter Nicole are again promoting a window basket raffle to support Arc GLOW. Nicole, who was born with Triple X Syndrome, attended the Arc’s Rainbow Preschool from the age of 3 months to 5 years and currently attends Day Hab through Arc Glow.

Also in honor of the month, Case-Nic is selling heart-shaped cookies for $1 and Nicole has made bracelets, which also sell for $1. All proceeds go towards programs that assist individuals who are part of the Arc.

The window raffle will feature more than 50 items on which to take a chance, including 29 gift certificates from Medina merchants. There are also wine baskets, books, lottery tickets and Bills and Sabres memorabilia.

Mary Lou came up with the idea for a window raffle during Covid, when people couldn’t congregate. The baskets are all on display in Case-Nic’s window and a bucket is placed on a table near the doorway. When the store is closed, people can take a sheet listing all the baskets out of the bucket and purchase a sheet of tickets for $10. After indicating on the sheet how many tickets they want placed in each basket, they place their money in the envelop with the sheet and drop it into the mail slot.

The drawing will be on April 1.

Mary Lou has loaned her window out to several organizations for similar raffles since Covid, including OCALS, Beds for Brian and PAWS.

Mary Lou said the money Case-Nic Cookies has donated to the Arc GLOW enables the agency to purchase things they couldn’t otherwise afford with all the funding cuts they have received.

Mary Lou and Nicole, assisted by Mary Lou’s sisters Laura McDonough and Amy Murray, arranged the window on Saturday. When the store is closed, the bucket will be placed outside the door from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
