WEBSTER – Last weekend 6 students from Orleans County participated in the NYSSMA (New York State School Music Association) Zone 2 Jr. High Area All-State festival at Webster Schroeder High School.
NYSSMA Zone 2 encompasses schools from Orleans, Genesee, Wyoming, Monroe, Livingston, Ontario, Seneca, and Wayne Counties. To be selected for Area All-State, students must first prepare a solo on their instrument or voice for adjudication at Solo Festival.
Then, based on their score and a teacher recommendation, an application is sent to a committee of music teachers from the NYSSMA Zone 2 area who select that year’s student participants in the Area All-State ensembles.
Students spent eight total hours last Friday and Saturday rehearsing their music before giving concerts to friends and family in the afternoon.
Three of the students from Orleans County include, from left, Rosa Scroope of Holley, Lillian Olsen of Medina and Adler Class of Medina.
From Lyndonville, 8th grader Harli Crawford made the Mixed Chorus as an Alto, 8th grader Emily Kroll made the Treble Chorus as an Alto, and 9th grader Karalyn Klotzbach made the Treble Chorus as a Soprano.
From Medina, 9th grader Adler Class made the Symphonic Band on Percussion and 8th grader Lillian Olsen made the Symphonic Band on Trumpet.

Provided photos: This quilt, hand-made by Brenda Radzinski, will be on display as part of the Cobblestone Museum’s holiday program Dec. 6 to usher in the Christmas season. The program, “Simply Christmas: A Community Musical Quilt,” will featured talented individuals from the local area, accompanied by a display of quilts.
CHILDS – The Cobblestone Museum will welcome the Christmas season with special events on Dec. 6. These include the opening of the Museum’s Holiday Shoppe from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., along with a special program arranged by Cobblestone board member and treasurer Maarit Vaga, titled “Simply Christmas: A Community Musical Quilt.”
The Cobblestone Museum’s Holiday Shoppe is filled with unique items for its Open House on Dec. 6.
Sue Bonafini, assistant director of the Cobblestone Museum, urges community members to consider checking out the Holiday Shoppe for their Christmas shopping needs.
“Whether you’re looking for a string of lights, wrapping paper, a tree ornament, Christmas books, mugs, wreaths, snowmen or assorted Santa and angel items, consider stopping by to check out our brand new or gently used holiday merchandise,” Bonafini said. “We’re already got plenty to choose from, but because we anticipate many shoppers, why not donate your unwanted holiday decorations to us. We’ll take anything you’re ready to retire that would enhance our displays so we can get them into a new home for the holiday season.”
All sales benefit the Cobblestone Society and Museum.
In addition to the Holiday Shoppe items, Susan Walders will be selling handmade knitted and crocheted items to enhance the shopping experience, perfect for gift giving to or keep winter’s chill away, Bonafini said.
Anyone wishing to donate items to the Holiday Shoppe can call (585) 589-9013 or email volunteers@cobblestonemuseum.org to arrange a drop-off time.
The name “Simply Christmas: A Community Musical Quilt,” was chosen for this year’s holiday program to usher in the Christmas season, Bonafini said. Vaga is working on this patchwork of instrumental music, vocals and more to entertain the audience at 11 a.m. Dec. 6 at the Cobblestone Church. A 45-minute performance will include at least one sing-along and a quartet of Susan Walders, Aaron Grabowski and Brandeen and Sebastian Erakare singing Riu, Riu, Chiu, a Spanish Renaissance Christmas madrigal.
Jan-Mikael Erakare will present Christmas readings. In addition, three former interns will entertain: John Patt of Holley will play a violin solo, Casey Starkweather of Carlton will sing and Eliya Cooper of Rochester will join Walders for a clarinet and flute duet.
The entire program will be enhanced by a display of quilts by talented quilter Brenda Radzinski. A free-will offering will be accepted. Light refreshments will follow at the lower level of the church.
Derek Maxfield kicks off series with presentation on ‘Santa in the Making’
Press Release, Genesee-Orleans Regional Arts Council
BATAVIA – GO Art! is pleased to announce a new monthly history lecture series – “Uninhibited History.”
Promising a view of history that is “unvarnished, unconventional, and decidedly unromantic,” the series will be hosted by local author, historian, and master storyteller Derek D. Maxfield.
The first lecture will be Wednesday, December 17th at 6:30 p.m. Grab a drink in Tavern 2.o.1 and join us for… “Santa in the Making.”
While the myth of Santa Claus has its roots in many European legends, including Saint Nicholas, the truth is that Santa was born and reared in America in the 19th century. The story started with innocent attempts to amuse children but caught the national consciousness when retailers saw the opportunity to make Christmas into a cultural (and profitable) juggernaut. It is a fascinating story, but may not be suitable for children or “true believers.”
Admission is simply a suggested donation of $5 with all proceeds to benefit GO Art!

Spending, up 1.2%, reaches $100 million for first time; Budget faces pressure from many fronts
ALBION – Orleans County officials are proposing a budget that would raise taxes by 2.6 percent in 2026.
The $100,261,320 proposed budget was filed on Friday by Jack Welch, the county’s chief administrative officer and also the budget officer.
Jack Welch
The budget tops $100 million for the first time. Spending is up 1.18 percent from the $99,092,747 in 2025 to $100,261,320.
The tax levy, what the county collects in taxes, increases by 2.60 percent or by $500,000 from $19,639,000 to $20,139,000. The tax rate is proposed to increase by 1.63 percent from $7.91 to $8.05 per $1,000 of assessed property.
The County Legislature will have a public hearing on the budget at 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 3 at the Orleans County Legislative Chambers, 14016 Route 31.
“In recent years, I have raised concerns about how the Orleans County budget is influenced by ‘VUCA,’ meaning volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity,” Welch said in his budget message. “Unfortunately, these dynamics have not changed, and as such, the county remains under tremendous budget pressure.”
The spending plan doesn’t exceed the state-imposed tax cap. Welch said “a tremendous amount of work” by department heads, legislators and the budget team kept the tax increase at 2.6 percent and not much higher.
The budget is seeing a big increase in 730 competency restoration for people deemed unfit to stand trial. Those costs totaled $57,209 in 2023 and have already exceeded $1 million this year. The county has budgeted $1.5 million for the “730” costs in 2026, which is up from the $500,000 in this year’s budget.
“This trajectory is simply not sustainable and must be addressed by the New York State Legislature,” Welch said.
The budget also faces a nearly 21 percent increase in New York State retirement costs, due to a lower stock market evaluation on march 31, 2025, Welch said. The retirement costs are one of the nine state mandated programs which now account of 115 percent of the tax levy, Welch said.
“At the same time, we have made significant strides to reduce costs,” he said. “For 2026, with the agreement of our unions, we have changed our medical coverage from Highmark to NYSHIP’s Empire Plan. This change resulted in 6 percent decrease in our budgeted health insurance costs. We have also continued our efforts to increase the hours in the work week for most of our employees from 35 hours to a 40 hours per week in an attempt to refrain from hiring more workers to cover the mandated services we are required to provide.”
The county also is projecting a $1.6 million increase in the local sales tax revenue. This year the sales tax receipts have been strong, nearly 8 percent ahead of 2024.
“As we present this to the Legislature, I am confident our proposed budget maintains core county services and programs in the most cost-effective manner possible, complies with the New York State property tax cap and provides funding for prioritized projects and programs while avoiding fiscal stress,” Welch said.
The budget keeps funding at the same levels for organizations providing services in the county including:
Cornell Cooperative Extension at $240,000; Orleans Economic Development Agency at $200,000; Soil & Water at $100,500, four public libraries to share $10,000; Mercy Flight at $5,000; Council of the Arts at $4,000; Cobblestone Museum, $3,000.
The budget includes $8,566,052 for capital projects:
Highway – $7,446,143 ($7,060,509 from state and federal governments)
Local bridge and culvert repairs, $50,000
Patch and seal county roads, $150,000
Highway reconstruction, $2,668,458
Eagle Harbor Knowlesville culvert, $865,000
Bridge Project #2, $2,375,500
Groth Road bridge replacement, $1,337,185
Buildings and grounds – $610,000 (all county cost)

Many of the meetings only have 12-15 attendees among more than 70 elected officials at village, town and county levels
Photo by Tom Rivers: Orleans County legislator John Fitzak speaks during the Oct. 28 meeting of the Orleans County Association of Municipalities. Debbie Yokel, Carlton town clerk, is at left and Margaret Swan, Barre town councilwoman, is at right.
GAINES – An association of local elected officials has experienced very light turnouts in recent years. That is frustrating to the association’s leaders, who want to see more participation.
Some of the meetings have been cancelled because too few people sent in an RSVP. Other meetings only have 12 to 15 people.
The Orleans County Association of Municipalities is currently co-led by County Legislator John Fitzak and Carlton Town Supervisor Gayle Ashbery. They try to brainstorm relevant topics each month in meetings for leaders of the four villages, 10 towns and the county government.
The association has discussed topics this year on local land planning issues, using aerial imagery in the assessment process, and heard presentations from the County’s Special Response Team and also the county’s personnel director. The group in the past has discussed EMS services, sales tax sharing, infrastructure needs and changes in state and federal laws and their impact locally.
The next meeting on Nov. 18 at Tavern on the Ridge will feature Holli Nenni, the Orleans County commissioner of social services. She will discuss impacts of the federal government shutdown. The Orleans County Board of Elections representatives will also share information.
The association was started more than 40 years ago after the county government changed from being run by the 10-member Board of Supervisors to the seven-member County Legislature. The association is intended to give the county legislators, and the town and village officials a frequent and easy way to share information and discuss common concerns.
“The more information we gather, the better the product will be,” Fitzak said at the Oct. 28 meeting.
The towns and county used to be rotation where they would pick the speaker. Fitzak said he is open to having the towns do the schedule, or submit ideas to him and Ashbery.
The Special Response Team, which includes members of the Orleans County Sheriff’s Department and Albion Police Department, did a demonstration on Oct. 28 for the local officials and showed some of their equipment, including drone technology.
Fitzak welcomed input from the group on what needs to be done to get more involvement from all the towns and villages.
“We want to keep the lines of communication open,” Fitzak said. “Let us know but do your part and get people to show up.”
The Albion Village Board discussed the issue on Wednesday. Trustee Tim McMurray attended the Oct. 28 meeting. He urged other Village Board members to attend. He said it’s a venue for airing concerns and hearing from other local leaders.
McMurray said he would like to have a fresh discussion on sales tax sharing. The amount to the 10 towns and four villages hasn’t changed since 2001 despite sizable increases in what the county collects.
“This is a time where we can show up and ask them questions,” McMurray said about the association of local elected officials.
John Belson, the Lyndonville mayor, is a regular at the meetings. He said Orleans County is unusual in having an association where the local officials can get together regularly to discuss issues.
Each of the 10 towns have five board members, and the four villages also have five elected officials on their boards. The County Legislature has seven members. That is 77 officials among the towns, villages and county, and that doesn’t include clerks and highway superintendents.
But only a few of them attend the association meetings.
Fitzak urged more officials to be there.
“They don’t know the information,” he said. “They’re missing out.”

ALBION – The Village Board voted to reduce the overnight parking fees at three village lots from $25 a month to $25 every three months.
These fees were raised significantly last year from $5 every three months to $25 a month.
Village Clerk Treasurer Tracy VanSkiver asked the board to look at the fees, saying the higher cost has resulted in a hardship for some of the downtown residents.
Board members said they didn’t realize there was such a steep increase in the overnight parking fees. They were approved as part of an update to the overall fee structure throughout the village.
The village has three municipal lots that allow overnight parking, as long as there is a permit from the village. The lots are on North Main Street by the Presbyterian Church, at the corner of Platt and East Bank streets, and behind the Albion Visitors Center at 121 North Main Street.
Usually about seven people take out permits for the overnight parking, VanSkiver said.
In other action at the Village Board meeting on Wednesday:
• The next village election was moved from the third Tuesday to the third Wednesday on March due to the St. Patrick’s Day holiday.
The election will be on March 18 with voting from noon to 9 p.m. in the village office. The mayor’s position and two trustees are up for election.
• Approved spending $10,750 for a new salter for the Department of Public Works.
• Approved a special use permit for the Charles W. Howard Hometown Parade on Dec. 13. Portions of the following streets will be barricaded from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m.: West Bank Street, East and West State Street, Beaver Street and Chamberlain Street. The board also approved use of the larger municipal lot on South Platt Street.

Site currently bottle redemption center with fuel; Legislator wants to add RV parking, launch for canoes/kayaks
Photos by Tom Rivers: This photo looking across the Erie Canal shows docks at 255 East Bank St. in Albion. John Fitzak has operated the Albion Redemption Center there for many years. The entrance was facing Bank Street but recently moved to the east side of the business. Fitzak has added a fuel service for boaters, the only site between Rochester and North Tonawanda.
ALBION – An Albion business owner is seeking to turn land along the Erie Canal on East Bank Street into a “mini marina.”
John Fitzak has operated the Albion Redemption Center at 255 East Bank St. for many years. He has recently upgraded that bottle redemption business, and has added fuel and a dock for boaters.
Fitzak, an Orleans County legislator, also has acquired adjoining properties and wants to expand the business to allow RV parking, and a boat launch for kayaks and canoes.
But Fitzak needs clarity and direction from the village about what is allowed at the property, which is zoned for general commercial and is currently mostly undeveloped.
The village code in one spot says no RVs should be parked on private property, but another section allows for up to two of them on a lot.
John Fitzak, an Albion business owner and a county legislator, addresses the Village of Albion Zoning Board of Appeals last week. Craig Tuohey, the chairman, is at right with Tony Wynn next to him at left. The ZBA is seeking a legal interpretation of the codes before making a decision. It also said the Village Board may need to clearly define the goals for the property in the village’s comprehensive plan.
Fitzak owns five lots along East Bank and East State. He is proposing to have RVs on three of the lots. He is asking the village for a variance from the maximum of six RVs, based on the max of 2 per lot. He wants to have eight on the property.
They would just be allowed to park there overnight. They wouldn’t have access to other services, except possibly WiFi. Fitzak would steer them to other businesses for food and services. If they wanted to use a bathroom or shower, they would be directed to the facilities at the Albion Visitors Center at the back of 121 North Main Street.
Fitzak met with the Zoning Board of Appeals last week, and that board didn’t take action, wanting to hear an interpretation of the village code from village attorney John Gavenda.
Fitzak then attended Wednesday’s Village Board meeting to state there are discrepancies in the code that are clouding what he can do with the property.
“Do you want progress and to see this place grow?” Fitzak asked the Village Board members. “I certainly do.”
He worries the project could face be mired in delays due to the uncertainties with the code and no determination yet on what is allowed.
“You need to update the codes if you want development and to see this town prosper,” Fitzak said.
Village Board members said they would see Gavenda’s opinion on the code. The village also has a new challenge with the ZBA in needing to fill vacancies among the board.
Craig Tuohey, the ZBA chairman, has stepped down from that board since the meeting on Nov. 3. Another member, Tony Wynn, is resigning on Dec. 31.
The 5-member board only had three members at its meeting last week and it may struggle to have a quorum to function. The Village Board said it will seek more members. They are paid $40 a meeting. The board meets as needed.
Chris Kinter, the village code enforcement officer, told the Village Board the code doesn’t allow a campground in the village.
Fitzak said it wouldn’t be a campground. There wouldn’t be water, sewer or electric services available. His property would just be a hosting site where people could park an RV.
He wouldn’t be offering permanent sites. “They’re in and out,” he said.
John Fitzak will have the “Mayfair Marina” ready for the next canal season, offering fuel and other limited services. He said the site will be a “mini marina.”
Fitzak also is seeking the ZBA permission to move three trailers that he uses for storage from one side of his property to the other side, farther east. The village code doesn’t allow those trailers, unless they are grandfathered in.
Fitzak has been allowed to keep them on site because the code was updated after he had them. The issue with moving them is they would go from one lot to another.
Craig Tuohey, the ZBA chairman, said the intent of allowing something to be grandfathered in that is out of compliance is to eventually rectify the situation.
Fitzak said he would like to eventually replace the trailers with a pole barn but first wants to see how the expanded business venture goes. He uses two of the trailers for the bottle redemption business and would use the other to store canoes, kayaks and other equipment.
“I’m not asking to do anything crazy,” Fitzak told the ZBA members last week. “This could be a catalyst for the downtown.”
He said he has other goals for the property, including allowing storage of boats over the winter. Fitzak said he would like to be allowed to have up to 20 boats on site for storage in the off season.
He also thinks his East Bank road frontage could turned into a board walk environment, with temporary structures for other small businesses.
Kinter said that although the property is in a commercial district, it’s also in a residential neighborhood and there could be impacts on the local residents.
Village board members, including Deputy Mayor William Gabalski, on Wednesday praised Fitzak for his investment in the properties and for a vision for the site.
“I love the idea,” Gabalski said. “We just want to make sure it’s done right.”
Fitzak said he awaits direction from the village on how to proceed.
“I’m willing to go through all the hoops I have to go through,” he said.
