TOWN N COUNTRY Edith Traina isnt fond of stereotypes that lead others to believe seniors fritter away their time rocking on front porches.

Thats why Traina, 92, and other members of the Town N Country Senior Stars take it upon themselves to break all those rules, she said.

One of the most recently added activities is powerlifting. The Stars team is called The Record Breakers, and consists of several seniors who work out regularly to keep fit and challenge themselves to break their own personal weightlifting records.

Traina can lift about 130 pounds. Other seniors boast personal best records of more than 160 pounds.

We just enjoy it, Traina explained.

Founded in 1987 as a way to bring seniors together for a tone-and-stretch class, the group has since grown to include more than 300 members, 200 of which are active on a regular basis. While that exercise class is still very much a part of the groups offerings, the Stars continue to expand options to make sure a variety of interests are represented. The lineup of undertakings includes arts and crafts, lunch outings, day trips, line dancing and much more, Traina added.

While the activities bring local seniors together for fun and camaraderie, member Patty Dombrowski, 75, said those who take part often find lasting friendships.

Its friends getting together with friends, she said of Stars events.

Medina Journal-Register MIDDLEPORT The four seasons are one of the things people love about this area of Western New York, with fall being one of the most colorful. Falls rich colors are captured on some of the Village of Middleports porches on a new poster.

Falling for Middleports Porches features 18 residential porches from all around the village. The photos were taken by local photographer Gretchen Schweigert, a village resident, and showed off falls yellows, reds, browns and gold colors as well as the welcoming feeling of many village homes in a variety of unique and wonderful ways.

It was fun to use the porches in my own hometown, said Schweigert, who tells her story of how she photographed some of Middleports porches for the poster on a Youtube.com video. These homes and porches are so connected with my own childhood memories. The video can be accessed from the homepage on the http://www.Middleport-NewYork.com website.

One of the porches Schweigert photographed was that of Middleport Mayor Richard Westcott. What I love about this poster is that it features porches from many different homes from throughout the whole village including the old Victorians, newer homes, and small and large homes alike, said Westcott. The colors and variety really show why so many of our residents find the Village of Middleport a great place to call home.

The Falling for Middleports Porches project is part of a promotional campaign for the village, and donations made for each poster will be used to publish a book written by Anna Wallace, former village historian. Current Village Historian Christa Lutz is working with Wallace to turn her historical accounts of Middleports past into a published book featuring stories, news clippings and photos. Anna does such a wonderful job of telling our story that I cant wait until we can have her book completed and available to share with anyone interested in our local history, said Lutz.

Posters are available at Middleport Village Hall during regular business hours and at the Village Historians Office at 20 Main St. on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. People wishing to have a poster mailed can also send a $14 check to cover mailing costs and their donation to MATABC, PO Box 114, Middleport, New York 14105.

Anyone with questions about the poster or how to order them can email news@Middleport-NewYork.com.

A Bayonne man who police had previously suspected of stealing packages from residents' porches and building lobbies was arrested when he was caught in the act, Bayonne Police Capt. Walter Rogers said.

Damion Baker, 45, of Avenue C, was arrested on Jan. 15 at 1 p.m. after detectives in an unmarked car saw him walking north on Avenue C from 17th Street with a shopping cart filled with items inside a plastic bag, Rogers said.

Police recognized Baker as a suspect from previous investigations involving stolen package and decided to follow him, Rogers said. Baker stopped several times, entering entranceways to several multiple-unit buildings and emerging empty-handed, Rogers said.

Detectives saw Baker attempt to sell several items from the shopping cart to a business owner on Kennedy Boulevard. After leaving the business, he was seen leaving the front vestibule of a house on the 400 block of Avenue C with several new clothing items wrapped in plastic and a portion of a cardboard box, Rogers said.

Baker threw the cardboard into the road at 18th Street and put the clothes into a red plastic bag that he took out of his jacket, Rogers said.

Detectives then got out of their car and arrested Baker, Rogers said, noting that the cardboard that was tossed into the street had a UPS packing label from retailer Aeropostale on it.

Michael D. Corp

A suspected car thief was arrested in the McKay Landing neighborhood in Broomfield on Friday. Police said Michael D. Corp, 26, also was seen walking on to porches and attempting to look into homes. He was found by a K-9, hiding in a back yard.

Police around 4:15 p.m. Friday responded to a report that an older model black BMW was driving slowly through the neighborhood and looked "out of place." The first responding officer saw an unoccupied, older model black BMW parked on Fairwind Lane, according to a news release issued Monday by police. A check of the license plate revealed the vehicle was stolen from Northglenn, taken Friday morning after the owner left it running and unattended.

In talking with neighborhood residents, police learned the driver of the BMW, described as a tall, white man, was seen walking up on to porches and trying to look inside houses, according to the news release. He was then seen running down a bike path.

Officers set up a perimeter in the area and Corp was found by a K-9, hiding in a back yard on McKay Park Circle.

Meanwhile, a resident of the 14000 Block of Zuni Street reported several packing boxes had been dumped in the driveway by a man in a black BMW. Several packing boxes with shipping labels to locations in Thornton were recovered, according to police. Police discovered the boxes and their contents were inside the stolen BMW.

Corp is being held at the Broomfield County jail. He faces possible charges of motor vehicle theft, theft and obstruction. His bond was set at $1,500.

Police said the arrest was not connected to a false report made Friday by a 16-year-old boy who said he was approached by two men in a dark BMW who demanded he get in their car. Police issued a news release about the reported attempted abduction on Friday and followed up with a second release that evening explaining that the boy's account was a false report.
