Tony Gugino
Fredonia Department of Public Works Supervisor Tony Gugino is retiring, and the village Board of Trustees acted quickly Monday to hire Scott Marsh as his replacement.
Mayor Douglas Essek began the meeting by reading Gugino’s brief retirement letter. Gugino, Fredonia’s DPW chief since 2018, wrote he was resigning as of June 16 in order to retire so he could spend more time with family.
The trustees accepted Gugino’s letter then went into a 40-minute-long executive session “to discuss the employment history of persons or persons involved with the DPW,” according to the motion of trustee Roger Britz.

An art class takes place outside adjacent to Rockefeller Arts Center.
Sales of artwork created by State University at Fredonia Department of Visual Arts and New Media students have provided a financial boost to Literacy Volunteers of Chautauqua County, a non-profit that provides tutoring services in reading, math, English language and other subjects.
The spring semester art sale, held in-person on April 19 at the Williams Center Multipurpose Room, generated $2,215 for Literacy Volunteers. Students donated the proceeds on Wednesday, April 28.
“It went really well, better than the sale last semester,” said Angeline Ginsberg, a junior majoring in Ceramics from Lindenhurst and one of the show’s organizers.

Efforts to modernize flight data tracking have taken a big step forward, thanks to ZubAir Data LLC, a start-up and client of the Fredonia Technology Incubator, and its industry affiliate Real-Time Innovations (RTI), a software framework company for autonomous systems.
ZubAir, founded by Junaid Zubairi, State University at Fredonia Department of Computer and Information Sciences professor and chair, teamed up with RTI Connext DDS, of Sunnyvale, Calif., to provide the real time data connectivity framework for its Flight Data Tracker System, which aims to transmit vital black box data in real-time to ground-level sensors in addition to storing it in the “black box” on the airplane. The specific Connext DDS features integrated with the ZubAir system include topic-wise transmission, ranges, encryption, authentication and Quality-of-Service (QoS).
