ALBION – There won’t be school at Albion Central School on Tuesday. The Albion Police Department will be holding an active shooter/emergency response drill at the school campus.

The drill will involve multiple local law enforcement, EMS and fire service agencies, as well as participation and assistance from state and federal agencies.

The drill will begin around 9 a.m. and is scheduled to last until approximately 2 p.m. During the drill, Route 31 will be closed from Route 98 to Clarendon Street. Residents who live in the area will be allowed to access residences on Route 31 during the drill if necessary.

About 200 school district staff members will be participating in the drill, simulating various roles within the school to allow for a realistic emergency response environment.

This drill will be one of the largest drills ever conducted in Orleans County and will allow the Albion Police Department and participating agencies to test and evaluate response times, organization and overall readiness for an emergency situation.

The Albion Police Department requests that the area of the Albion school district campuses be avoided during the drill so that it can be conducted as safely and effectively as possible.

MURRAY – Two people were injured this afternoon when a Lowe’s delivery truck went off Kendall Road and hit a ditch. The accident occurred at about 1:45, north of Ridge Road near the Kendall town line.

The Orleans County Sheriff’s Office and firefighters from Fancher-Hulberton-Murray and Holley are on the scene. The top photo shows, from left: Undersheriff Chris Bourke, Holley firefighter Ron Meiers, and investigator Jeff Gifaldi of the Sheriff’s Office.

The passenger of the vehicle was ejected through the windshield after the truck hit the ditch and a driveway. The passenger was ejected about 25 feet, said Undersheriff Chris Bourke.

The passenger and the driver both sustained injuries. They were conscious and were able to speak with first responders. They were taken by Monroe Ambulance to Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester.

Bourke said a witness observed the truck, which was headed north on Kendall Road, drift off the road. Sheriff’s investigators will interview the driver and passenger at the hospital to try to determine what caused the accident, Bourke said.

ALBION – The Downtown Browsery started 15 years ago with a few vendors at 14 East Bank St. Now the Browsery has 40 vendors and has expanded to three storefronts on North Main Street.

The Browsery celebrated a grand opening of the third Main Street storefront on Saturday. It moved into one of the storefronts used by Xpress Fitness.

With the move to that location, the Browsery moved out of the East Bank site to the bigger room where Xpress was located. This consolidates the Browsery in one location, making it easier to staff and also be more convenient for customers.

Kim Remley is one of the original vendors in the Browsery. Initially, the group was trying to fill a storefront in the downtown. That mission has been accomplishments, and then some, she said on Saturday during the grand opening of the expanded storefront.

“We started to try to get things going in downtown Albion,” she said. “We feel like we reached our goal. Now we want to exceed it.”

Liz Groat, president of the Browsery’s board of directors, is pictured with board members, Erik Sinkora and Dakota Morasco. They are pictured by comic books and tin signs that are sold by one of the vendors, Adam Mattle. He was able to expand his space with the move to a bigger storefront on Main Street.

Remley sells jewelry and vintage items at the Browsery. Linda Hollenbeck also is an original vendor, and Paula Brooks has been with the Browsery since soon after it opened.

Many new vendors have also joined the Browsery. Dakota Morasco of Albion has been a vendor for about two years, selling home décor items, especially with a nautical theme.

“We have so many styles within the shop,” she said about the 40 vendors. “It’s a one-stop shop. I tell people there is something for everyone.”

Michael Bonafede and his wife Judith Koehler, left, are owners of the building that rents to the Browsery. They are chatting with Albion Town Supervisor Dick Remley, left, and Julie Sanford, one of the vendors.

Michael Bonafede, owner of the Pratt and Day buildings where the Browsery is located, praised the Browsery for being a positive addition to the downtown business district.

“They have such a variety of items, and they set a standard,” he said. “It’s not like a flea market. They have so many merchants that you could spend a day browsing around.”

HOLLEY – Firefighters were dispatched to Norway Road in Murray on Sunday morning for reports of a chimney fire. Once on scene, firefighters realized the fire wasn’t in the chimney, but in the partition in the house, Holley Fire Chief Harris Reed said today.

Hamlin, Kendall and Holley firefighters were on soon after the call went out at 5:09 a.m.

Reed said the homeowner had a smoke detector which alerted the residents to the fire. The chief thanked the firefighters for their speedy response, which prevented the fire from spreading and doing more damage.

“It was a really good stop,” Reed said. “Minutes later and the house could have been on the ground.”

The cause of the fire hasn’t been determined yet.

ALBION – A women-only gym and tanning bed opened on Main Street in Albion on March 1.

Xpress Fitness closed in December after about a decade of business. Lynn Bensley ran a popular site at 116 North Main St. with exercise equipment, a sauna and tanning bed. She wanted to step back from the demands of that business.

Ashley Casanova in August purchased Bensley’s tanning and exercise equipment and opened Casanova’s FasTan and FiTness. She is using one of the two storefronts from Xpress Fitness. The Downtown Browsery expanded into the other space.

Casanova, a Lyndonville resident, is thankful for the opportunity to open a FasTan in Albion and offer the gym as well. In August, she acquired the FasTan in Medina from Kim Lockwood at 627 West Ave.

“In Medina we have many clients from Albion for tanning,” Casanova said on Saturday. “The gym part wasn’t part of the plan, but we moved ahead after a lot of praying.”

Ashley Casanova said the women-only gym offers a comfortable place for ladies to exercise.

Casanova last fall graduated from the Microenterprise Assistance Program through the Orleans Economic Development Agency. She also completed an associate’s degree last year from Bryant and Stratton College.

She sees the gym as a big positive for women in the community, who don’t want to be in a co-ed facility while exercising.

“This is more private and women want to feel comfortable,” she said. “It makes a lot of women feel good and they can be comfortable.”

Casanova praised her husband Jose for his support with the two locations. She also has started a new college degree program, working towards an online ministry degree through Ohio Christian University.

Casanova on Wednesdays will offer three workout sessions in Albion with Christian music and prayer.

She sees a higher purpose for the business.

“This will be my ministry,” she said.

Madison Cairney performs with Magic of Scout House. The show features “Sweet Dreams” by the Eurythmics, “Call Me” by Blondie, “Heartbreaker” by Pat Benatar and “So What” by Pink. Magic of Scout House was first in the Senior Class with 74.27.

Magic of Scout House includes adults who love the winter guard competition. They had the crowd on their feet with the hard-charging routine. This is the guard’s fifth year of competition.

Jenny Hope brings lots of attitude to the group.

Prizm is a group of youth ages 7 to 14 from Hamilton, Ontario. They performed to the music, “Praying” by Kesha.

LYNDONVILLE – The 21^st annual Orleans County Farmer to Neighbor Night was Saturday at the White Birch Golf Course and brought together about 150 members of the farming community.

The Albion FFA is one of the organizers of the event. The top photo shows emcee Barry Flansburg, president of the Albion FFA Alumni, and Abbie Pappalardo, a current member of the FFA. She said she enjoys making friends through the FFA.

Adam Krenning, the Albion FFA advisor and agriculture teacher, thanks the crowd for supporting the FFA program. He said many local farms and organizations back the FFA throughout the year. He is joined by, from left: FFA President Bailey Nesbitt, Harrison Brown, Melissa Robinson, Abbie Pappalardo, Bryne Dysard, Faith Woody, Kendall Derisley and Jeffrey Brown.

The Farmer to Neighbor Night celebrates the county’s leading industry. Agriculture generates more than $100 million in sales to the farms, and that doesn’t count the spinoff economic impact with tractor dealerships, veterinarians and other businesses.

The event is sponsored by Orleans County Cornell Cooperative Extension, Farm Bureau, Soil & Water Conservation District, Chamber of Commerce and Albion FFA Alumni.

Harrison Brown, an FFA member, delivers one of the items that was up for bid. It was purchased by Tim Winters, CEO of Western New York Energy in Medina. An auction raised money to support the FFA program.

Melissa Robinson is introduced to the crowd. She said she enjoys meeting people through FFA and pushing herself in many of the FFA competitions.

Barry Flansburg chats with Paige Levandowski, a former Albion FFA member who was vice president of the FFA in New York. Levandowski now works as a middle school teacher in Albion and helps with the FFA program at her alma mater.

ALBION – Orleans County DAR Regent Penny Nice joins Albion Middle School Service Learning and Citizenship teacher Tim Archer following a presentation he gave to the group on the former Orleans County Alms House on West Countyhouse Road in Albion.

The classes are researching the 250 names recorded as being buried on the grounds, most with no marker at all, or a simple stone with a number.

County Historian Matt Ballard has been helping the classes locate and study newly found primary source documents. The students hope to have an interpretive panel erected on the site this spring listing the long forgotten names. The DAR generously donated $750 toward the project.

Archer’s class in 2011 rededicated the cemetery for residents of the Alms House. They reset stones, cleared brush, researched the names of residents and erected a memorial in their honor.

Photo by Lisa Mannella – Students are pictured in June 2011 with the rededicated cemetery for residents of the Alms House on Countyhouse Road. Albion seventh-graders want to add an interpretive panel explaining the history of the site.

The main building at the Alms House consisted of an administration building, a men’s ward, and a women’s ward, which were all constructed in 1878. A hospital wing was added in 1904.

The buildings remained in operation until 1960 when the new county nursing home was constructed on Route 31. The Alms House buildings were razed in 1962.

“Overlooked Orleans” – Vol. 5, No. 10

Johann George Singler, c. 1862

BARRE – This photograph shows Johann George Singler around the time of his enlistment in the Union Army during the American Civil War. Born March 28, 1829 in the territory of Baden to Joseph and Mary Greisbaum, Singler received his common education (equivalent to a high school course in the United States) while in Europe.

At the age of 22 he emigrated to the United States on a 49-day journey across the Atlantic, settling at Cleveland, Ohio. Six months later he traveled to Buffalo where he worked as a carpenter for eight months and finally relocated to the town of Barre sometime around 1853. On February 10, 1855, he married Eva Rupp at Clarendon and the couple raised eight children together on a modest farm in Barre.

At the outbreak of the Civil War, Singler enlisted with Company G of the 151st New York Infantry at the age of 33. He was mustered into service on October 22, 1862 and left his wife and four children to care for the farm.

William De Wolf, another member of Company G, later recalled the first call for volunteers at Holley in August of 1862. “The meeting was held in the Academy yard, and though the speakers are not fresh in my mind, I think one was Robinson by name.”

It is likely that Chauncey Robinson, an outspoken abolitionist and resident of Holley, was the speaker De Wolf noted. “The next one was at Hulberton…At this time there was an ice-breaker lying in the Basin at Holley, and we trimmed it up with evergreens and flags, an put planks across for seats. We got a small drum corps, and hired a boy, horse and tow-line and started for the meeting.”

“Company G was composed of as bright a number of young men as ever went into the service of Uncle Sam. They were mostly farmer boys, well brought up and most all educated.”

Although the documentation of Singler’s service is somewhat limited, one published biographical account suggests that he was injured in an accident while driving a team of horses at The Wilderness. As a result, he received a $14.00 per month pension from the government.

After his three years of service Singler was granted his citizenship and in 1868, he relocated his family to Ellington, Wisconsin where he lived out the rest of his life. He lived a simple life, farming a small 40-acre farm in that location which he worked diligently to clear of timber. A Republican in politics, it was claimed that he refused to vote in elections, instead focusing his attention on encouraging qualified candidates to fill positions.

Press Release, Girl Scouts of Western New York

ALBION – Girl Scouts of Western New York Troop 82259 visited Albion Mayor Eileen Banker on Thursday to kick off the start of their cookie booth season. The Girl Scouts met the mayor, along with village trustees Stanley Farone and Gary Katsanis, to talk about community service work, Girl Scout badges and the troop’s cookie goals.

The mayor answered the girls’ questions about being a female leader and role model, how the local government works, and how she makes decisions.

“Being mayor, this is the first time I’ve ever had the opportunity to have the Girl Scouts visit,” she said. “I think it’s wonderful that they would want to come in and learn about the village government and what the mayor does. I appreciate the fact that they’re interested in community service and what we do when it comes to a village board. I hope they’ve learned something and look to hold positions that have leadership in them.”

Trustee Katsanis explained to the girls how a large part of the job that the mayor and trustees handle is related to fiduciary responsibility and budgeting. The Girl Scouts were able to make a connection because the cookie program allows girls to engage in age-appropriate activities such as money management and financial literacy.

Mayor Eileen Banker explains to the girls how a typical village board meeting is run.

Everyone in attendance also took part in a cookie sampling. Mayor Banker commented she has always loved the classic Shortbreads and Peanut Butter Sandwiches, but was appreciative that the troop had a gluten-free option available for those who required it.

After the meeting, the troop went around the corner to the village police station. The officers purchased cookies, took the girls on a tour of the station and then showed them the inside of one of the police vehicles including all the gear they carry with them.

The topic of how to be a good citizen and the importance of assisting people was discussed. The Girl Scouts explained how they perform community service and try to help people in need. The officers said that their goal was very similar because they always want to make the community better, even if they serve a different role.

“Sometimes someone is having the worst day of their life and that brings me into their life that day,” said Officer Sean Mcelhinny. “To be able to help them out, even if they don’t realize at the time that they need help, is so gratifying. I’ve had people come here or see me on the streets after the fact who say thank you.”

Albion police officers Brandon Annable and Sean Mcelhinny show the girls the police vehicle and lights.

Officer Brandon Annable added, “That call might be the only time a person has police contact with you so you should always treat them as best you can. They might be having a bad day or something going on in their life you don’t know about. You always want to make an effort as an officer to respect everyone even if you end up having to arrest someone. It can help them in the long run to get them what they need and possibly save their life.”

Samantha Basinait, a seventh-grade Cadette Girl Scout, expressed interest in potentially becoming a policewoman one day and was encouraged by the officers to pursue her goal. Officer Annable commented how it would be beneficial to have female officers provide their talents to protecting and serving the community. He said that they haven’t had female applicants for open positions at the station in several years, but are always hoping to see more women join law enforcement.

At the end of the event, Girl Scout Troop Co-Leader Dawn Basinait commented, “It was wonderful that the mayor was able to talk to us. Some people get really busy and they don’t have time, but she’s a wonderful person. It was a lot of fun and I’m also glad the police were able to give us a tour.”

Girl Scout cookie season ends March 31. For more about Girl Scouts and cookie booths, visit gswny.org.
