ALBION – A transformer won’t be leaving Albion today after the trip was cancelled.
The 430,000-pound load was scheduled to go from Albion to Byron.
There was a late notification to National Grid about the trip. The journey has been put off until National Grid is available.
A new move date hasn’t been released. State police will provide an escort. The height of this load requires lifting most overhead wires and traffic control devices.
The transformer was delivered by train to Albion on Tuesday. It is currently on a trailer by Hamilton Street.
Most of the journey is planned for Route 98 from Albion to Elba, before the transformer heads down Lockport Road and reaches Byron on Byron Road.

Brown, whose roots at farm date back to 1804, recognized by American Fruit Grower magazine
Photos from Orchard Dale Fruit Company – Bobby Brown III of Waterport has been named “Apple Grower of the year” by the American Fruit Grower magazine. Brown and his family have been mainstays in Carlton for more than two centuries.
A local apple grower has been chosen by the American Fruit Grower magazine as the country’s “Apple Grower of the Year.”
Robert “Bobby” Brown III is co-owner of Orchard Dale Fruit Company. He is the eighth generation grower on the family farm, which dates back to 1804. He has embraced new technologies with precision agriculture on the farm and has been a key leader in the Lake Ontario Fruit packing facility on Route 104 in Gaines.
American Fruit Grower announced the honor for Brown today. He is the sixth apple farmer from New York State to receive the honir. Only Washington State has more honorees with 14. Brown also is the fourth grower from Orleans County to receive this distinction, following George Lamont in 1997, Darrel Oakes in 2004 and Roderick Farrow in 2017.
Bobby and Beth Brown are shown with their daughters Emaline and Addison.
The June/July print issues of American Fruit Grower and Western Fruit Grower will feature Brown on its cover. The publications will formally present the award to Brown on July 17 at the Orleans County Apple Social.
Brown, 42, grew up on the grounds of Orchard Dale and worked closely with his late father Bob Brown and his uncle Eric Brown. The younger Brown graduated from Cornell in 2006 and returned to the 400-acre apple business. Bobby’s wife Beth joined the operation in 2013.
American Fruit Grower quotes Jim Bair, President and CEO of the U.S. Apple Association, touting Brown’s long family commitment to the apple industry.
“Bobby is not one to rest on family laurels,” Bair told the magazine. “His support for research, IFTA, and food safety prove his commitment to the industry and his fellow growers. Bobby was one of the first growers I met when I came to USApple. He impressed me then — and still does today.”
Brown has been a leader among the growers, serving with USApple, New York Apple Association, Farm Credit East, Lake Ontario Fruit (current president), Natural Resources Conservation Service, Horticultural Society, and the New York State Apple Research Development Program (current chairman).
Brown received nominations for the award from all sectors of the Western New York apple-growing community.
“He realizes that we all need each other for the western New York apple industry to thrive and survive these uncertain times,” said Michael Keller, Sustainable Agriculture Specialist with Valent U.S.A. “Bobby is always one the first people to step up when issues arise, and he often takes point on many of these challenges. I think he believes that we all need to work together for the apple industry to run properly, and he’s willing to do whatever is needed to ensure the future of New York-grown apples.”
American Fruit Grower shares testimonials from other growers, includign Rod Farrow of Fish Creek Orchards in Waterport: “His development of new high-density super-spindle orchards is second to none in the U.S., and their farm is often a highlight of local, national, and international tours.”
Farrow said Brown has adapted the farm to new technologies, including precision spraying with vision data collection. Orchard Dale was one of the first farms to implement precision crop load management technologies, such as ATV-mounted cameras and drones.
Jason Woodworth of Lamont Fruit Farm in Waterport praises Brown for leading Lake Ontario Fruit during an expansion and addition of new employees.

ALBION – A transformer is loaded and ready to go on a slow ride from Albion to Byron. The transformer was brought in by railroad to Albion on Tuesday. Today it is scheduled to travel by truck and trailer to Byron.
However, the journey is currently delayed. National Grid was notified late and the company needs to be present when its powerlines are touched.
The 430,000-pound load will disrupt traffic on Route 98. The transformer’s journey starts at Hamilton Street in Albion and then heads south to Allen Road, then east to Route 98. From there its south on 98 through Albion, Barre and to Elba.
Once at Lockport Road, the load will continue on North Byron Road to south on Searls Road to east on Tower Hill Road. The trip ends south on Byron Road in the town of Byron.
State police are providing an escort. The height of this load will necessitate the lifting of most overhead wires and traffic control devices. The load will move into oncoming traffic to avoid overhead obstructions.
The weight of the load will keep speeds to around 5 to 10 miles per hour with many stoppages, State Police said.

ALBION – The Orleans County Legislature is backing an effort to create a state-wide registry of people convicted of animal cruelty.
A bill for “Buster’s Law” in the State Senate has been introduced by Sen. James Tedisco, a Republican for the the 44th District.
Tedisco’s Senate Bill 1563 would amend the Agriculture and Markets Law to establish a statewide animal cruelty registry maintained by the Division of Criminal Justice Services.
Buster’s Law was named after Buster, a cat, was intentionally burned to death in Schenectady in 1997. The perpetrator who poured kerosene on the cat was later imprisoned for other crimes, including attempted rape, sexual abuse and unlawful imprisonment of a 12-year-old girl.
Buster’s Bill in 1999 made unjustifiable, intentional and violent acts of cruelty to companion animals a Class E felony crime. Tedisco and legislators have said animal cruelty offenses have long been recognized as indicators of broader patterns of violent behavior.
The proposed revision to Buster’s Law creates the state-wide registrythat would be made available in print and electronic form to law enforcement entities, district attorneys, humane societies, societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals, animal control officers, dog or cat protective associations, breeders, animal rescues, and pet stores conducting business in New York.
The bill would prohibit individuals required to register from owning companion animals or working in facilities where companion animals are present, including shelters, pounds, pet stores and zoos.
Orleans County legislators noted that counties are responsible for supporting animal control services, public safety functions, district attorney offices, and coordination with local humane societies and SPCA organizations. Counties would benefit from improved access to accurate, centralized information regarding individuals convicted of animal cruelty offenses, legisators said last week when they voted to support the registry.

The organists in the concert include, from left: Tom Wenhold, Patricia Worrad and Aaron Grabowski.
Three talented local organists will be featured in the Cobblestone Museum’s Progressive Organ Concert on May 31.
Organists are Tom Wenhold from the Lyndonville Presbyterian Church, Patricia Worrad from St. John’s Episcopal Church in Medina and Aaron Grabowski from Holy Trinity (St. Mary’s) Parish in Medina.
The first concert at 2 p.m. will be at the Lyndonville Presbyterian Church, where organist Tom Wenhold will play the church’s Felgemaker pipe organ, built in 1913. The organ was purchased from the A.B. Felgemaker Organ Company, a major American organ builder originally founded in Buffalo in 1865. This grand instrument features more than 1,100 pipes.
In addition to more than 30 years of organ duties at the Lyndonville Presbyterian Church, Wenhold is a Cobblestone Society member and has opened up his cobblestone residence on multiple occasions for the Cobblestone Tour of Homes.
The next stop on the tour will be at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Medina, where guests will be welcomed with a wine and cheese reception. At the church, famous for its inclusion in Ripley’s Believe it or Not as the “Church in the Center of the Road,” organist Patricia Worrad will treat guests to the dulcet tones of the 19th century Hook and Hastings pipe organ from Boston, MA.
The organ was rebuilt in the early 1960s by Schlicker Organ Company in Buffalo. Its tonal scheme is of the early neo-Baroque style with 18 ranks and two manuals.
“The musical selections for this portion of our concert have been specifically chosen to enhance the mild nature of this style with the warmth of the late 19th-century sound,” said Doug Farley, director of the Cobblestone Museum.
The third and last concert will follow at Holy Trinity Parish (St. Mary’s Church), where local music legend Aaron Grabowski will entertain with a well-curated concert designed to accentuate the organ’s French baroque temperament of pure tuning.
The organ was first installed in 1913 and has undergone many changes through the decades. As various parts have worn out, replacements have been made with contemporary equivalents. Of interest is the fact Grabowski is not only an acclaimed organist, but builds organs for Parsons Pipe Organ Builders in Canandaigua.
The concert will be followed with an optional dinner at Tavern on the Ridge at about 5:15 p.m., where owner and chef Chad Pike has selected a choice of three entrees for concert guests – cottage pie, French ham melt sandwich with arugula salad or Asian chopped salad with ginger chicken. Relish tray and dessert will also be served, and coffee or soft drinks are included. A cash bar will be available.
Reservations are required for dinner and may be reserved using the form on the last page of the Cobblestone newsletter, by visiting the website at CobblestoneMuseum.org or calling the museum at (585) 589-9013. Tickets for the concert are available now, and some will be available at the door. Tickets are $20 for the concert, or $50 including dinner.

Press Release, Care Net of Greater Orleans
CARLTON – Jason McGuire, one of today’s leading voices on the sanctity of human life, addressed over three hundred people at the Care Net Center of Greater Orleans’ annual banquet.
McGuire serves as the Executive Director of New York Families Foundation. He is widely recognized as a key leader in the pro-life and pro-family movements; and is frequently called upon by media outlets for his expertise on New York State government and public policy.
Jason McGuire, executive director of New York Families Foundation, gave the keynote address at the Care Net banquet.
McGuire challenged the attendees to “help promote a culture of life in our community.”
“Each of us has a place in this battle,” McGuire said. “Let’s find our place and take a stand for truth.”
During the program, Mary Lou and Nicole Tuohey were honored with the Timothy J. Barbato “Celebrate Life” Award in recognition of their commitment to “valuing every human life as a God-given gift, and inspiring others to celebrate life as they do.”
Their over 30 years of fundraising efforts have benefited organizations like Arc GLOW and Alzheimer’s Association through Case-Nic cookie sales, basket raffles, and an untold number of private donations to needy community causes.

Care Net is a “Pro-Abundant Life” medical pregnancy center, offering free pregnancy testing, education, ultrasound confirmation, and sexual health and pregnancy resources. It does not refer for abortions.
Their services offer those who find themselves dealing with an unplanned pregnancy “the time they need to process, obtain critical information on their options, and make informed decisions about their future.”
They are located at 168 South Main St., Albion, and are open Tuesday through Thursday.
Tom Smith, right, and Gary Withey were part of the pre-program instrumental music.
It’s nice to be in a small community where people support one another and share ideas and goals.
It is an eye-opener to see how a new industry, Data Centers, would seek to take advantage of our ideal setting and exploit our resources. I never thought it might be happening here—or close by—near the Orleans County line.
I encourage you to become aware of the dangers posed by the planned Data Center. Learn about it and ask questions. Will it substantially affect our electric bills? How will it impact our water supply? Wildlife habitat is likely to be affected adversely.
Public officials should support the will of the people and what is best for our cherished community.
If you would like to know more about this Data Center and ask questions, attend the Green Orleans information session on Thursday, May 7th at the Hoag Library in Albion beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Photo by Tom Rivers: The Medina Canal Basin is shown last summer with a houseboat, the Erie Floatel LLC, at left. Another boat owner wants to rent out a yacht as a short-term rental this canal season.
MEDINA – The Medina Village Board has two requests from boat owners to lease space in the Canal Basin this upcoming canal season.
But village officials first want input from the State Canal Corp., where there has been a big increase in using houseboats for short-term rentals on the Erie Canal, said Jeff Wagner, the Medina village trustee.
He has been speaking the Canal Corp. officials about how to best handle the requests. The new canal season starts on May 15 and goes until Oct. 14.
Medina approved a lease in its basin last summer for the Erie Floatel, LLC. That boat was operated by Andrew Meier and Svein Lilleby and it stayed on the south side of the canal, using one of the village’s floating docks.
Medina charged a lease fee of $220, plus another $100 for electric and water consumption for the season.
Rollin Hellner owns a 34-foot-long yacht that he would like to rent out through Airbnb. His father Brian Hellner ran a tour boat business from the Canal Basin but won’t be doing that this year. Rollin would like to keep his boat in the same slip where his father docked the North Star. This is the same boat that Rollin would like to rent out for overnight stays.
“We intend to operate under the same rules, requirements, and fee structure that have already been established and approved for vessel-based Airbnb operations within the Village,” Hellner said in a letter to the Village Board on April 13. “This will be a continuation of an established and successful lodging option that supports tourism and brings additional visitors to Medina’s waterfront and local businesses.”
The Erie Floatel, LLC made its debut in Medina last summer. It is available as a short-term rental directly on the Erie Canal.
Andrew Meier, in an April 13 letter to the board, said Erie Floatel had a great first year last summer with universally positive feedback, earning a rare “5.0 Guest Favorite” status on Airbnb. The houseboat will be exclusively listed on Airbnb and VRBO this year, without direct bookings, Meier said in a letter to the board.
The Erie Floatel is moored and not drivable by guests. There is a two-person maximum occupancy.
Meier offered to pay $500 towards utilities for the boat, up from the $100 in the initial lease.
“The houseboat resulted in many unique visitors to Medina through the course of the summer, who patronized local retail shops and eateries,” Meier write. “It further generated direct revenue to the Village in the form of nightly occupancy taxes. From all accounts, the enterprise was a ‘win-win.’”

ALBION – The Albion school district’s proposed 2026-27 budget will again be holding the line on property taxes, the 18th time in the past 20 years without a tax increase.
Registered voters in the Albion school district will go to the polls on May 19 from noon to 8 p.m. at the Hoag Library, 134 South Main St. A district art show will also be on display at the library during the vote.
“We are proud to once again propose a tax levy with no increase, continuing our long-standing effort to either reduce or maintain the levy whenever possible,” said Linda Weller, the Board of Education president. “While rising operational costs and uncertainty in state and federal funding continue to present challenges, we remain committed to balancing fiscal responsibility with meaningful investment in our students and programs.”
The district is proposing a $45,615,036 budget, which is up 1.93 percent or $864,551 from the current budget.
The tax levy will stay at $8,449,039, which is $359,906 under the district’s tax cap.
“Our priorities include maintaining small class sizes, strengthening student support services, enhancing technology and ensuring our facilities remain safe, functional and well-maintained,” Weller said the district’s budget newsletter.
School officials will discuss the budget during a public hearing at 6 p.m. on May 12 at the LGI in the high school.
The vote on May 19 includes proposition one for the budget and proposition two to allow spending $1.5 million for buses. Proposition three allows the district to collect $687,760 for Hoag Library.
There are also three candidates for three seats on the Board of Education. The incumbents – Trellis Pore, Kurt Schmitt and David Sidari – all are not seeking re-election.
The two candidates with the most votes get five-year terms while the candidate with the third most votes gets a one-year term.
The candidates include:
• Kaitlyn Panek – A farm office manager, Panek is an Albion graduate. She said she brings organizational and financial expertise as well as a personal commitment to the district.
“My top priority is maintaining a high-quality, safe environment where every student has the resources to succeed,” she said. “I am invested in having transparency between the community and district to ensure budgets are clear and accountable.”
• Jaime Allport – A court clerk for the Town of Albion, Allport is a lifelong Albion resident who said she understands the community’s values, strengths and challenges. She has been a long-time volunteer, especially with the Albion youth football program.
“My perspective, combined with a proven record of service, will help guide thoughtful decisions that benefit both current students and future generations,” she said.
• Michelle Waters – The owner of the Tree House School of Play in Albion, Waters said strong schools are built through open communication, thoughtful decision-making and a willingness to listen.
“My goal is to help shape schools that keep students at the center, while supporting teachers and staff who show up for them every day,” Waters said.

The Northshore Fury AAU basketball team, featuring players from Holley, Medina, Lyndonville, and Notre Dame, earned a second-place finish at the Hoopfest Challenge Showcase in Palmyra this past weekend.
Led by Trey Rhim (Notre Dame), Julian Tabor (Medina), and Gunner Knight (Holley), the Fury competed against top Western New York talent, facing teams from McQuaid, Brighton, Stony Creek, and Webster.
Leading scorers Rhim, Tabor, and Knight were supported by Dean Fischer (Medina), who anchored the defense with an average of three steals per game, and Tory Dames (Medina), who provided a spark from beyond the three-point line. Zia Dix (Medina) and Mason McGuire (Holley) led the team in assists.
Rounding out the team’s strong defensive effort—which included four down-to-the-wire contests—were Chris Andrews (Holley), Brayden Aydelotte (Lyndonville), Jackson Spencer (Holley), and Michael Zaragoza (Holley).
The Fury will return to action May 16th–17th at the Pink-Out Shootout in Rochester.

Albion public library will seek $687,760 in May 19 vote, up from $657,560 for 2025
Photo by Tom Rivers: Betty Sue Miller, director of Hoag Library in Albion, goes over the library’s budget during the annual meeting on Monday.
ALBION – Hoag Library has a new trustee following Monday’s election with Jessica George eking out a victory over Rachel Hicks with 26 votes to 25. Voters also re-elected Linda Weller with 32 votes and Mary Witkop with 29.
The trustees then met and again named Weller as board president and Witkop as the vice president. Dawn Squicciarini will serve as board secretary and George was picked to be the treasurer, a spot that was filled by Hicks.
There were 51 voters for Monday’s election. The trustees were elected to four-year terms.
The library also held its 126th annual meeting. Weller said the library has proven to be an important part of the community, offering far more than just loaning out books.
“The Hoag Library of Albion continues to stand as a vibrant cornerstone of the community,” she said. “Its success is not by chance – it is the result of dedication, care and collaboration of many people who believe deeply in its mission.”
Weller commended the staff for offering a variety of programs and making the library a welcoming place for everyone. She said the trustees have been committed to being good stewards of the budget and making the library “sustainable, forward-looking and responsive to the needs to today – and tomorrow.”
Hoag has a $721,550 overall budget for 2026 with $687,760 in the school district vote on May 19. That is up from the $657,560 through property taxes approved a year ago.
Other areas of the library funding include $2,790 from the county, $18,000 in contributions and donations, $9,000 in library services and fees (Fax, copier and book fines), and $4,000 in state library aid.
The library budget would be $75,000 higher if it still had a mortgage. But that was paid off in 2022 when Maurice “Mo” Hoag and his wife Courtenay gave a final $200,000 donation to the library. The couple has given $1 million to the library, including an initial $250,000 to help get it built in 2012. Their donations after the first $250,000 have allowed Hoag to pay off the mortgage well ahead of schedule, saving $75,000 a year. The mortgage was planned to go to 2035.
Betty Sue Miller, the library director, said the library continues to receive donations from the community. She noted Conrad Cropsey gave a large table and desk from his law office. He closed his office in downtown Albion and continues to work as a lawyer from his home in Barre. The table is up in the loft at the library and many people use it to play games or study. Cropsey’s desk is used in the local history room.
The Friends of the Library used its funds to buy a 3-D printer that is available to the public.
The circulation for 2025 includes: physical items – 29,775 books, 6,993 non-books, 62 HotSpots and 36 laptops. Digital items – Hoopla, 6,912 and Libby, 5,370. There were 1,777 new physical items.
Other highlights: 564 library programs and community outreach efforts; 827 notarized documents; 5,446 items borrowed through Nioga inter-loan; 4,253 items loaned out through inter-loan; 838-plus learning and support sessions at library for GED, ESL, tech advisor and other literacy programs; 1,480 public meeting room uses.
Miller said she is amazed how busy the three rooms are for meetings, concerts, events and smaller sessions.
“Imagine if this building had not been built with that space,” Miller said about the meeting rooms. “The people who built this were very forward-thinking.”
ALBION – The Albion school district’s proposed 2026-27 budget will again be holding the line on property taxes, the 18th time in the past 20 years without a tax increase.
