Patrick Finan of Cortland, one of the Tribune Chronicleâs McKinley columnists, always writes the first draft of his column on a yellow legal pad.
CORTLAND Patrick Finan likes to travel to what he says are “quirky places.”
The Spam Museum in Austin, Minnesota? Check.
Frankenmuth, Michigan, home of the world’s largest Christmas store? Check that one several times.
Sturgis, South Dakota, during the annual motorcycle rally? Yep, but not specifically to see the bikes.
Dix, N.Y., to see the bloody towel from President Abraham Lincoln’s assassination? And last fall, a trip to Winchester, Va., to see the hall where Niles native and former President William McKinley was inducted into the Masons? As a presidential history buff, that would be a definitive yes on both of those.
Long-time councilman selected as interim mayor in Monroe ×
MONROE – Long-time councilman Stephen Dalina has been selected as interim mayor until a special election is held in November.
The Township Council unanimously selected Dalina during a special meeting via Zoom on Jan. 20. He was sworn in with his wife Susan and two sons by his side.
The Monroe Democratic Committee submitted three candidates for consideration – Dalina; Township Council President Miriam Cohen, who was serving as acting mayor after the passing of Mayor Gerald Tamburro on Dec. 31; and Terence “Terry” Van Dzura, president of the Monroe Township Democratic Club.
In his comments, Dalina said he was humbled by the support from his fellow council members. He acknowledged his father, the late Stephen “Pete” Dalina, who was the longest serving Middlesex County freeholder. He passed away in 2013.
