COLD FUN ON THE ICE ON THE BAY
Karen O’Dell of Edgemere Drive “walked on water” to shoot these photos of the Perch/Pike Fishing Derby at Braddock Bay on Sunday, January 25. O’Dell said it was the first time she had ventured out onto the Bay’s ice and she met many there enjoying the sport of ice fishing. Bob Smith (kneeling, orange pants) caught an 11 lb. fish. Shown above (l to r) Mike McCormick (back row), Bowie, Dave Tiefert, Mike Griffin, middle row, Bob Smith (winner of tournament), Rob Gary and in front, Dillon Griffon. Participants weighed-in their catches and shared their fishing stories at Romig’s Tavern. Dillon Griffon relaxed a bit in the warm up hut. Above, an auger used to drill into the ice.

protect buildings and cultural landscapes at risk due to technological, transportation and energy developments; and preserve architecture and landscapes designed after World War II. •The Preservation League of New York State launched the Technical Assistance Grant (TAG) program in 2012 to support discrete projects that preserve New York State’s cultural and historic resources. Not-for-profit arts/cultural groups and municipalities managing arts/cultural facilities are encouraged to apply. The applicant group may apply for short-term, standalone projects that advance the preservation of historic sites, museums, opera houses and theaters, arts facilities and other culturally important institutions that are located in historic buildings and structures that are open to the public. These professional studies include: building conditions surveys, engineering/ structural analyses, feasibility/reuse studies and specialized building conservation studies. Preparation of architectural plans and specifications are not eligible. Grant amounts will not exceed $3,000 and the total cost of the applicant’s project may not exceed $3,500. Each applicant must provide $500 toward the total project cost. The Preserve New York Grant and Technical Assistance Grant programs are made possible through funding from the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. For a list of previous grant recipients, visit the League’s website at www.preservenys.org. Locally, the Village of Holley received a $5,000 Preserve New York grant to support the cost of a Historic District nomination of some 40 properties located on and near Holley’s Public Square.
