Hawley helps secure grants for libraries in his district
Press release:
Assemblyman Steve Hawley (R,I,C-Batavia) recently announced the recipients of this year’s Public Library Construction Grants. More than $327,000 has been committed for projects at the Byron-Bergen, Lee-Wheldon Memorial and Swan libraries, serving as sorely needed support for facility improvements.
“In a time of staggering unemployment and fiscal crisis that is crippling our educational institutions, these library construction grants will be a boon for the community,” Hawley said.
“Our local libraries deserve the support necessary to provide up-to-date tools and services to the public, and that’s exactly what these grants will do. I know these libraries will put this funding to great use and become an even more integral part of our community.”
In Genesee County, the Byron-Bergen Public Library will receive $7,325 to open the wall via a French door to provide easy and secure access to an additional programming and educational resource space, thereby increasing the effectiveness of library service.

No bail set for woman seriously hurt in accident while on probation
A Batavia woman still suffering from serious injuries following an accident March 8 in Batavia won't get out of jail any time soon to help her recovery, Judge Robert C. Noonan ruled today.
Michelle T. Crawford, 26, of 7963 Batavia Stafford Townline Road, had her jaw wired shut following the accident, but Noonan said that given her legal status at the time of the accident, he couldn't see setting a bail amount for her.
Crawford was on probation stemming from a DWI arrest in Erie County and had already been convicted once of a probation violation.
She appeared before Noonan days before the accident, having completed one substance abuse program and was awaiting an open bed in another treatment program.
"She committed to me that she had seen the light and was all rehabilitated and ready to get on with a clean life," Noonan said. "She expressed on the record that if she was allowed to stay at liberty until we could find a bed or another treatment program she would stay clean."
Noonan continued the case pending sentencing on the probation violation until 9:30 a.m., April 16.
Assistant District Attorney William Zickl said Crawford was operating on a suspended license at the time of the accident and he has been told by investigators that she had alcohol and a small amount of cocaine in her system at the time of the accident.
She may be facing multiple felony charges, though the Sheriff's Office has not yet completed its investigation.
When Noonan said he wouldn't let Crawford out of jail, she turned and looked at her parents and boyfriend in the gallery and started to cry just a bit.
Crawford didn't speak during the hearing.
Her attorney, Lackawana-based Louis Violantin, pleaded with Noonan for a lower bail to help his client be better prepared for what may come next.
"The court may be hesitant to set reasonable bail," Violantin said. "It's imperative that we do get her help because she's ailing right now and certainly jail is not a hospital. Michelle needs to get herself well physically right now in order to be able to go through anything else."
Brush fire off North Bergen Road
A brush fire is reported just east of 6385 N. Byron Road. Bryon and South Byron fire departments are dispatched. The location is between Route 237 and Bird Road.
