Speaking of Muller Quaker Dairy, it was The Batavian the first news source to tell you that "Project Wave" was going to be a yogurt plant built by PepsiCo and a German company.
Over the years, we've brought you in-depth coverage that you rarely get anywhere else about Genesee County:
- An investigation into the finances of Pontillo's,
- More continuing coverage of controversy in Corfu,
- No other news agency has given you more facts about the tax breaks for COR Development than The Batavian,
- We've provided comprehensive coverage on the attempt to save and the eventual demolition of the Wiss Hotel,
- We provided region-leading coverage on bath salts last summer,
- We also broke the story about Jacquetta Simmons at Walmart on Christmas Eve 2011,
- And more recently The Batavian provided the first coverage about a man accused of slamming his son to the floor at Walmart.
Consistly for more than five years, The Batavian has brought you more breaking news coverage and more in-depth coverage than any other local news source.
And we want to keep it going, which is one reason we need you to join The Batavian Club.
Right now, we're offering a free 8x12 canvas print of a Genesee County photography by Howard Owens to new members. See the slide show below for available choices.
Don't forget: Club members get gift certificates from local businesses worth more than $320.
The prints will be made by Vinylsticks, a Batavia business that creates all manner of signs, prints, decals and stickers.
