MEDINA – The Medina Central School District, due to requests from families and the ongoing construction improvements across the district, has moved the Welcome Back Picnic for grades UPK-Grade 6.
The open house, which was originally scheduled for Aug. 20, will now be held on Wednesday, Sept. 3.
The event allows students and families to come into the buildings and meet their teachers. Clifford Wise Intermediate Principal Jennifer Stearns and Oak Orchard Primary Principal Julie Schiavone say the Open House Night will be a fun-filled evening where students and families can get a head start on the school year.
“Students will have the opportunity to see their classrooms, meet their teachers, and reconnect with friends and familiar faces before the first day of school,” Stearns said.
Oak Orchard Primary School (UPK–Grade 2) will host their Open House from 4:30 to 6 p.m. on Sept. 3 and Clifford Wise Intermediate School (Grades 3–6) will hold their Open House from 5 to 6:30 p.m. on that same day. To make the evening even more enjoyable, free hot dogs and water will be available to all who attend, so come hungry and ready to celebrate!
Families will receive information in August with their child’s teacher(s) and back-to-school paperwork, so parents/guardians should be on the lookout through ParentSquare and their mail. The schools say that they look forward to welcoming their students and families back for a fantastic school year.
If there are any questions, please reach out to your child’s school between 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday.

ALBION – The Orleans County Legislature has accepted about $800,000 bids from contractors to make repairs and upgrades to the Public Safety Building.
Part of the western side of the Public Safety Building, in the area that used to include Probation, needs work. The structural supports on the western side are undersized to support HVAC.
The Legislature on Tuesday approved the following bids for “Public Safety Building emergency structural repairs” that total $815,700:
$649,000 for general construction from Javen Construction Company of Penfield
$61,200 for HVAC from Crosby Brownlie in Rochester
$55,500 for electrical from Crosby Brownlie in Rochester
Up to $50,000 for plumbing from McGrain Mechanical in Rochester
The Legislature in February approved spending up to $427,000 for Wendel Companies in Williamsville for design, bidding services and construction management for replacing and strengthening the roof.
The county bought the building, a former furniture store, in 1998. The building houses the Orleans County Sheriff’s Office, District Attorney’s Office, 911 Dispatch Center and Major Felony Crime Task Force.
It used to include Probation until that department moved last summer to the former GCC campus in Albion due to concerns with part of the Public Safety Building. Probation will stay at the former GCC site once the Public Safety Building work is done. The Sheriff’s Office will be able to use the space that was Probation’s.

KNOWLESVILLE – Adriana Schiavone of Kendall sings “Journey to the Past” from Anastasia during the karaoke championship on Thursday at the Orleans County 4-H Fair.
Adriana scored first place out of 11 participants in the annual karaoke contest. She received a $500 prize. The competition has been held for “at least 30 years here,” said DJ Brad London, who has led the popular event.
Adriana, a star of Kendall school musicals, had a humble start to the karaoke contest. “I did it last year, and I didn’t go through to finals, so I came into it with the goal of just making it to finals. I knew about it since I was a little girl.”
Adriana was not expecting any prize and was all smiles when she won. “When they said 2nd, I was a little disappointed, and when they called my name, I was like, wow!”
(Left) Amir Huzair, who placed second last night, performs “Why, God, Why?” from Miss Saigon. (Center) Heidi Feuerherm sings “At Last” by Etta James. (Right) Emily Schiffhauer confidently sings “Valerie” by Mark Ronson ft. Amy Winehouse.
Abigail Pratt, who placed third and won a $125 prize, sings “Pink Pony Club” by Chappell Roan. “I’m currently a music student at Fredonia,” Abigail shared. “Music has always been my specialty!”
Abigail’s interest in the karaoke competition grew as she wanted a new space to perform. “Usually I’m at a rehearsal for a summer theater program during this time, but I’ve grown out of this, so I thought, why not come to a little karaoke contest!”
Frank “Boomer’oke” Buell won the fan favorite prize for his engagement with the audience during his performance of Journey’s “Faithfully,” exiting the stage during his performance to mingle with the crowd.
This is Frank’s second year bringing his talents to the karaoke contest. “Friends at my work Wynland Foods asked me to join, and I said y’know what, I’ll sign up,” Frank said. “So, I came and ended up singing One by Creed, interacted with the audience and had a great time!”
(Left) Phoebe Allen enthusiastically sings “Unbelievable” by Diamond Rio. (Center) Samuel Robinson, placing fourth, energetically performs “Livin’ La Vida Loca” by Ricky Martin, dancing across the stage. (Right) Denin “Jersey Dee” Martino gets into it performing All Jacked Up by Gretchen Wilson, ultimately placing fifth.
There were five top scorers and two additional prize winners at the karaoke contest on Thursday. Six judges announced the winners of the competition based on the criteria of 1/3 cheering, 1/3 stage presence, and 1/3 vocals. The top five contestants were all only five point values apart from each other, a testament to each one’s talent.
From left include Adriana Schiavone, first ($500 prize); Amir Huzair, second ($250 prize); Abigail Pratt, third ($125); Emily Schiffhauer, the “Best New Performer,” Samuel Robinson, fourth ($75), Denin “Jersey Dee” Martino, fifth ($50), and Frank “Boomer’oke” Buell, the fan favorite.
Audience members take to the stage as the judges tally the contestants’ point values. They danced to a couple of songs, including Cotton Eye Joe.

Press Release, Orleans County Emergency Management Office
ALBION – The Orleans County Emergency Management Office (EMO) held a graduation celebration Wednesday night at the EMO Fire Training Tower to honor the 20 students who successfully completed the Interior Firefighting Operation (IFO) training course. This course prepares graduates to operate as interior structural firefighters, meaning they engage in fire suppression and rescue operations within buildings and enclosed structures.
In his speech to graduates, Orleans County EMO Director Justin Niederhofer said, “The Interior Firefighting Operations course is no small milestone. You’ve learned to enter some of the most dangerous environments imaginable – where others run out, you’ve trained to go in. But tonight’s graduation is not the finish line. It is the starting point of a journey – a lifetime commitment to learning, to safety, and to serving others.”
In order to take the IFO course, students must have successfully completed Basic Exterior Firefighting Operations (BEFO). The BEFO session is a total of 79 training hours and IFO is an additional 50. All training is done by state fire instructors and skills instructor through the NYS Office of Fire Protection Control.
This rigorous IFO course covers a variety of areas including basic firefighter survival techniques, modern fire control methods, building fire search and victim removal techniques, firefighter survival skills, tactical ventilation, coordinated structure fire interior attack and much more. Students are also trained in use of firefighter personal protective equipment and of the self-contained breathing apparatus.
“As fire coordinator, I’ve seen firsthand the difference that well-trained, committed firefighters can make in our communities,” Niederhofer said. “The moments that test us most – structure fires, rescues, the 3 a.m. alarms in the dead of winter – are where your preparation and heart will shine the brightest. But don’t stop here. This course is a foundation, not a ceiling. Seek more training. Take the next class. Ask questions. Learn from the veterans around you, and one day, become the mentor that future firefighters will look up to. The fire service is constantly evolving – and the only way we stay effective and safe is by continuing to grow.”
The graduates and their fire department affiliation are:
Cory Fults, Clarendon
Jeffrey Casillo, Murray Joint Fire District
Carter Prince, Hamlin Morton Walker
William Parkin, Kendall
Stephen Balka, Kendall
Logan Gardner, East Shelby
Joshua Fuller, East Shelby

CARLTON – The county has extended an agreement for public fishing access along the Oak Orchard River.
The County Legislature on Tuesday reached an agreement of Roy and Scott Salmon of Park Avenue in Carlton. They will give public access to 15.8 acres of property and will be paid $79,000 over the five years, or $15,800 annually beginning August 22, 2025 and ending August 21, 2030.
The agreement gives the public access along about 4,000 feet of the Oak Orchard River, including at some of the most desirable fishing spots.
The $79,000 over five years is an increase from the $69,000 in the current five-year agreement from 2020 to 2025.
The county first entered into an agreement with the Salmons in August 2007. That first agreement was $7,500 annually over three years. The county in 2007 pushed to reach a deal with the Salmons for public access after the family put about 50 posted signs along their property.
Fishing is the county’s top tourism attraction, generating about $28 million in economic activity in Orleans, according to a report from the state DEC based on 2017 data.
The Oak Orchard is a popular draw, especially in the fall during the annual salmon and trout runs with many anglers coming from around the state and country to fish in the river.
In addition to public fishing access, the agreement allows the Salmon property to keep its vegetative cover to protect water quality and riparian habitat, and to also be available for fishery and habitat management, research and educational programs.
The county has signs on the Salmon property, urging anglers to respect the land, by taking out trash and fish carcasses.

Officers observed a 17-year-old juvenile female, lying in the back seat and a 16-year-old juvenile male in the driver’s seat.
Officers safely detained both individuals. A Glock-style BB gun was recovered from the driver’s side area and secured.
Both juveniles had previously been reported missing by the Town of Greece Police Department. Investigators from the Orleans County Major Felony Crime Task Force and deputies from the Orleans County Sheriff’s Office responded to assist.
The juveniles were transported to the Albion Police Department for processing. They were charged with Criminal Possession of Stolen Property in the third degree (E Felony) and given appearance tickets for the Orleans County Youth Court. Additionally, the male juvenile was issued a traffic citation for operating the vehicle with a DJ permit and without a licensed passenger.
The Ontario County Sheriff’s Office was notified that the vehicle was located and the two suspects were in custody. Albion Police coordinated the safe transfer of the juveniles to Ontario County deputies for additional charges. The stolen vehicle was recovered by the City of Canandaigua.

KNOWLESVILLE – Gina Sidari, 18, of Albion keeps her eyes on the judge during the beef showmanship competition on Wednesday at the Orleans County 4-H Fair.
Gina placed second among 17 in the senior showmanship division.
There were 33 kids overall showing beef in the competition. The beef animals are seeing a steady increase in recent fairs, and Saturday’s meat auction will have 12 steers, a record high for the Orleans fair, and up from four last year.
The 4-Hers welcome bidders for the auction at 7 p.m. on Saturday.
Henry Dresser, 11, of Medina leads his beef animals into the ring. Henry emerged as the master showman, topping more experienced 4-Hers at the beef show. with Isabel Nesbitt, 12, of Lyndonville in second place overall.
There were 17 participants in senior showmanship, 11 in junior showmanship, and five in novice.
John Kriese, judge of the beef show from Branchport, got a chuckle out of Teanna Church of Holley, who competed in senior showmanship.
Kriese quizzed the competitors, as well as judging how well they presented the animals that topped 1,000 pounds.
The top showmen keep the animal under control, keep it nicely groomed and show off its best qualities. Kriese said each 4-Her and the animal are a team and need to be working in sync with each other, which can come from many hours of practice.
Carter Kuipers, 17, of Byron leads this beef animal in the ring. Kuipers won the senior showmanship title. Last year he was the grand master showman at the fair, winning one of the most prestigious titles. The grand master competition will be Friday evening featuring the top showmen from nine different breeds of livestock.

ALBION—The annual Orleans County 4-H Fair is here, bringing entertainment to the community. Several events took place this Wednesday.
The rubber chicken throwing contest was a big hit. Amy Crawford, who works for Leafguard, watched the action.
“I thought that it was super unique and cute, and they seemed to really be enjoying themselves,” she said. “I love how different fairs have their unique ideas of how to entertain families.”
Kayla Dengler (right), the organizer of the Orleans Trail, calculates the inventories of participants Jason and Stephanie Harrington for one of the days in the game. The Orleans Trail mixed the classic Oregon Trail with Dungeons and Dragons, having players roll dice to determine their fates.
Players started out with different inventories. Each day, players chose their rations and speed levels, contributing to roll modifiers, with imaginary party members’ clothing also serving as roll modifiers. A wheel would be spun if low values were rolled, deciding party members’ various deaths taken straight of out the classic Oregon Trail game, as well as loss of resources.
Players hunted by shooting foam balls from a gun, attempting to land balls in nets that corresponded to various animals, which provided different pounds of food. On Day Two, players were able to buy items from a store to aid them in their journey. Toward the end of the experience, players had to cross the Erie Canal by floating, fording or ferry.
The participants all emerged victorious, reaching the end around the same time and all having strengths and weaknesses in their inventory stocks. Victors received a sticker with a wagon and ox on it that read, “You have died of dysentery.”
The Wheel of Death featured classic Oregon Trail deaths like measles, broken legs, snake bites and dysentery. The wheel would also be spun to determine loss of inventory resources, such as wagon wheels, tongues and axles.
At the rooster crowing contest, whichever rooster crowed the most in 10 minutes won. There were 6 participants and 6 awards. The girls in charge of the roosters anxiously encouraged their animals to make noise. Family members in the audience clapped and cheered when their rooster crowed.
The talent showcase dramatically danced its way back into the 4-H Fair this year. Alana Blair, Kendall Peruzzini, and Haidyn Gomez from the Heather Kelley Dance Company in Holley were very expressive as they performed Shake Your Body.
In another dynamic number, Gabby Greean and Oakley Pogel from the HKDC moved to The Witches Are Back. Some of the HKDC girls also put on stunning solo dances. Keyon Thomas from Batavia delivered a vocal solo.
The young girls energetically flew across the stage in The Witches Are Back. Regardless of placement, the talent show participants are eligible to move up to the State Fair Showcase.

SLF feeding can stress plants, making them vulnerable to disease and attacks from other insects. SLF also excretes large amounts of sticky “honeydew,” which attracts sooty molds that interfere with plant photosynthesis, negatively affecting the growth and fruit yield of plants, negatively impacting agriculture and forest health.
Press Release, Congressman Joe Morelle
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Joe Morelle on Wednesday introduced legislation to stop the spread of the Spotted Lanternfly, an invasive species that poses a significant threat to the American agricultural economy in places like New York State.
“It’s hard to visit the Finger Lakes without enjoying our amazing vineyards and orchards, but sadly, they’re under serious threat from the Spotted Lanternfly,” Morelle said. “My legislation would provide additional support for both local and national organizations committed to fighting back against this invasive, destructive pest. I’m grateful to my colleagues—on both sides of the aisle—for joining together to support this critical bill, and I hope to see it passed and signed into law soon.”
Morelle’s bipartisan legislation, the Spotted Lanternfly Research and Development Act, designates the Spotted Lanternfly as a high-priority research and extension initiative under the National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
This designation authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to make competitive grants available for research projects related to the mitigation of this invasive species so we can find creative solutions to stop the spread before New York’s cash crops are further decimated.
This is the latest in a series of actions Congressman Morelle has taken to combat the spread of the Spotted Lanternfly, including advocating for this legislation in previous legislative sessions and securing funding from federal agencies to support eradication efforts.
“Congressman Morelle’s decisive action through this legislation demonstrates his profound understanding of the challenges facing New York’s agricultural sector,” said Benjamin Houlton, the Ronald P. Lynch Dean of Cornell University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. “As New York’s Land-Grant institution, we are committed to developing science-based solutions to combat the spotted lanternfly threat. His leadership in securing crucial funding will strengthen our research and extension efforts, providing both our agricultural and residential communities with essential resources to protect New York’s rich agricultural heritage.”
How you can help stop the spread:
Learn how to identify the Spotted Lanternfly. Inspect outdoor items such as firewood, vehicles, and furniture for egg masses. If you visit other states with Spotted Lanternfly, be sure to check all equipment and gear before leaving and scrape off any egg masses.
Report sightings by completing this form (click here). If you see a Spotted Lanternfly, kill it immediately by stepping on it or crushing it.
Joining Morelle in supporting this legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives are Representatives Mike Kelly (R, PA-16), Chrissy Houlahan (D, PA-06), and Nick Langworthy (R, NY-23).
“The invasive spotted lanternfly continues to pose great risk to New York’s vineyards, fruit orchards, hops production and forestry,” said David Fisher, New York Farm Bureau President. “As with all invasive and harmful species, research and education are essential to mitigating the spread of the insect and to helping reduce its impact on crops and forestland. New York Farm Bureau thanks Rep. Morelle for sponsoring the Spotted Lanternfly Research and Development Act, which prioritizes funding in the Farm Bill and expedites the grants necessary to combat this serious problem.”
