Rock the Park brings about 1,000 to Bullard with proceeds going to park improvements

ALBION – The bands have been announced for the 11^th annual Albion Summer Music Festival, and this Rock the Park will feature some new faces to the amphitheater at Bullard Park and some long-time favorites.

This year’s music festival will be one day on Aug. 1, after recent festivals were for two days. The event takes a lot of effort from a team of volunteers, said Ron Albertson, the festival chairman. He said there is other entertainment going on in the community, including the Orleans County 4-H Fair.

The one-day event at Bullard Park will be a musical showcase.

“We have an incredible, incredible lineup this year,” Albertson said.

The performers include Knight Patrol, Songbirds, The Who Dats, V3, Mixed Experience and Bad Sign.

The band Bad Sign closed out the lineup of performers during last year’s festival on Friday night last festival. Bad Sign stepped in at the last second when there was a cancellation. Bad Sign plays blues, rock and southern rock. The band includes lead singer Erika Horning of Batavia, guitarist Erick Horning of Batavia, bass player Clint Worthington of Holley, drummer Joe Maino of Pembroke, and keyboardist Ron Bordinaro of Batavia.

Proceeds from the event have been used towards improvements at Bullard Park. Recently that included money towards a new pavilion and electrical upgrades. Rock the Park also was critical in the push to overhaul Bullard about a decade ago.

Proceeds initially went to a grant writer. Albion was successful securing a state grant for nearly $500,000 that resulted in the new amphitheater, splash park and pavilion. Other projects followed with new basketball courts, a walking trail and disc golf course.

The latest effort is focused on a new concession stand.

The non-profit organization, Greater Albion Community Recreation and Events, runs the Albion Summer Music Festival. The group has committed $5,000 towards the new concession stand, Albertson said.

GACRE also wants a new backstop fence on the baseball diamond as well as improvements to the playing field.

“We’re not done,” Albertson said. “We want to finish at Bullard Park.”

The music festival typically draws about 1,000 people with a $5 entry fee. Albertson said the organizers want to keep it affordable, and keep the amphitheater rocking.

The bands making their debut at the festival include Knight Patrol, a cover band that performs the greatest hits from the ’80s, and Songbirds, a Fleetwood Mac tribute act.

Local favorites include The Who Dats, V3, Mixed Experience and Bad Sign.

The band, V3, performed Friday evening at Bullard Park for the 10th Rock the Park/Summer Music Festival on Aug. 1, 2025. From left in photo include Jesse Neely on bass, lead singer Kole Moore and Alex Fitzak on guitar. V3 will be at this year’s event on Aug. 1.

Federal cost shifts, inflation and rising healthcare and pensions strain counties

Press Release, New York State Association of Counties

As a confluence of federal cost shifts, general inflation, rising pension obligations, and growing healthcare costs are creating a fiscal emergency for county governments, the New York State Association of Counties (NYSAC) is calling for support in the SFY 2027 State Budget.

Starting in 2027, counties will be forced to absorb at least $870 million in higher costs from federal changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) program, reductions in federal Medicaid revenue, growth in current pension obligations, and other state mandated cost shifts. These increases arrive as counties are already showing signs of fiscal stress, with 12 counties exceeding the property tax cap in their 2026 budgets—the most in a decade.

Counties are calling on the Governor and State Legislature to assume the local share of new SNAP administrative costs and provide meaningful county relief, on par with what has been proposed for other municipalities, in the enacted SFY 2026–27 budget.

“Counties are the backbone of New York’s service delivery system, implementing state and federal programs in every community,” said Stephen Acquario, executive director of NYSAC. “But this wave of new costs is just unsustainable, and without state partnership, local governments will be forced into difficult choices that could reduce services to residents and businesses.”

Federal Cost Shifts

Beginning October 1, 2026, under the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” the federal share of SNAP administrative costs drops from 50 percent to 25 percent—shifting an estimated $170 million in new annual costs to counties and New York City. At the same time, New York’s SNAP error rate exposes the state to up to $1.2 billion in annual federal penalties beginning as early as October 2027.

New York is one of only three states in the nation that requires counties to both administer SNAP and pay a share of its administrative costs. When the federal share drops from 50 percent to 25 percent, counties—not the state—are left holding 75 percent of the bill.

“Nearly three million New Yorkers depend on SNAP each month—the vast majority are children, seniors, and people with disabilities,” said Phil Church, President of NYSAC. “If counties cannot meet the administrative demands of a restructured program, New Yorkers who depend on these benefits will suffer. We warned our Congressional Delegation this would happen and urged a federal delay.”

Medicaid Cost Shifts

New York State is unique in its requirement that counties and New York City must pay a direct share of the program costs of Medicaid services. Today, this cost exceeds $7.6 billion annually.

In SFY 2024, the State began to phase out the annual sharing of $625 million in federal Medicaid funds. By early 2025, these federal savings to counties were completely eliminated. Counties and New York City are now absorbing this loss in funding into local budgets.

“For just a handful of mandated programs, including Medicaid, counties and New York City contribute more than $14 billion annually in local taxes,” said Ryan McMahon, president of the New York State County Executives Association. “And yet, every budget proposal this year allocated zero dollars in new state revenue sharing or unrestricted aid to counties.”

Pension Costs—Before and After Enhancements

Based on the State Comptroller’s October 2025 actuarial report, NYSAC projects that employer pension contributions for FYE 2027 will increase by approximately $180 million for counties alone—before any benefit enhancements currently under consideration in this budget take effect.

The pension enhancements now being discussed could add another $125 to $150 million in new annual costs for counties, bringing the potential total to $330 million.  Most of this new higher state-imposed expense was not accounted for when counties adopted their budgets in late 2025.

“It is worth noting that a central purpose of the 2012 Tier 6 reforms was precisely to prevent local governments from bearing these costs—with an explicit commitment that the State would pre-fund any future benefit enhancements. That commitment should be honored,” noted Acquario.

The Medina Triennial is proposing banners to be on the Medina Triennial Hub building at 345 North Main St., the former NAPA site. The Triennial also wants a series of other wayfinding signs for the upcoming arts initiative that is expected to draw 50,000 people to Medina from June 6 to Sept. 7.

MEDINA – The Village Planning Board has approved sign applications for several downtown businesses and also gave the OK for a series of signs in the village for the upcoming Medina Triennial arts exhibition.

• The Planning Board met on Tuesday and approved the sign application for Alexandra Peracciny Photography. She is moving her studio from the upstairs of Blissett’s to a storefront at 426 Main St.

The board approved the main sign for the building at 16 feet by 2 feet, but wants more details one three vinyl cling signs with two proposed for the windows and one for the door. Peracciny will need to provide more information on the size of the vinyl signs.

• The board approved a new projecting sign for Cuppa Joe at 112 East Center St. Joe Blake is the new owner of the coffee shop after acquiring the Coffee Pot Café from Dan and Hans Rosentreter.

• A sign was approved for “Medina Mart” at 123 East Center St. Saleh Almadhrahi of Lackawanna is running the business and will have a sign mounted near the roof. The sign will be 166 inches by 20 inches.

• The Medina Triennial wants a series of wayfinding signs, as well as two large banners on the Triennial’s main building at 426 North Main St. The banners will note the theme of the Triennial: “All That Sustains Us.”

The Triennial is seeking permission for many temporary signs around the village and downtown area. The Planning Board gave its OK. The Villkage Board will need to give final approval for signs on village-owned property at Rotary Park, State Street Park and the Canal Basin.

The Triennial wants 12 vinyl signs on sidewalks with arrows directing people to the Hub building at 345 North Main St., Rotary Park, State Street Park and the Railroad Museum.

The Triennial also wants 4 stake signs directing people to Medina Triennial, the old high school on Catherine Street which will house several exhibits, and the Railroad Museum on West Avenue.

The Triennial also wants 10 post signs about the Medina Triennial with the theme “All That Sustains Us” and eight A-frame signs.

Dan Gardner, the code enforcement officer, acknowledged the situation is out of the ordinary with so many temporary signs. He said the village should consider these on a case-by-case basis.

He said the signs are needed because there will be an influx of visitors and the art installations will be at multiple locations in the community.

Planning Board members said they are concerned about an abundance of signs in the downtown already, but they agreed the wayfinding signage would be helpful to the visitors and local residents during the three months.

“There will be a lot of exhibits all over the village and people will need to know where to go,” Gardner said.

Planning Board member David Flynn cast a no vote on the signs saying them seemed out of character with the historic downtown.

Kevin Sheehan advised by attorneys he can’t serve in both roles

Photo by Tom Rivers: Kevin Sheehan speaks during a candidate forum on March 5. He was elected to the Albion Village Board on March 18. He was sworn in as a village trustee on April 6, the start of a four-year term.

ALBION – Kevin Sheehan believed he could serve as both an Albion village trustee and a commissioner for the Albion Joint Fire District.

He said the roles seemed separate. The Albion Fire Department used to be part of the village budget with the Village Board functioning as oversight of the fire department, setting and managing its budget.

But the fire department shifted to the Albion Joint Fire District on Jan. 1, 2025. Sheehan was elected to a three-year term as a fire commissioner on Dec. 10, 2024. The commissioners set the district’s budget, and the taxes for the district are collected as part of the Albion and Gaines tax bills in January.

On March 18, he was elected to a four-year as village trustee. Soon after that election he was advised by both the village attorney and fire district attorney that the two offices are incompatible and he can’t do both.

The sticking point, Sheehan said, is the fire district leases the fire hall from the village. In that role, the village has influence over the fire district’s budget. The Village Board works with the fire commissioners to set the rent for the building.

Sheehan wrote a letter March 27, resigning as fire commissioner, effective March 29.

He attended this evening’s fire district monthly meeting, and sat in the audience rather than at the table with the fire commissioners in the back of the fire hall.

Sheehan said he very much enjoyed serving as a fire commissioner and regretted he needed to step down from the position.

“Mr. Sheehan, it has been an honor and a pleasure to have you as a commissioner,” Al Cheverie, the chairman, told him at the meeting.

The fire district currently only has three out of five fire commissioners in office. The district has yet to allow Charlie Monacelli to take office. He was elected in December but has a past felony conviction for attempted burglary in the third degree in 2000. He was in prison for 4 ½ years and then was on parole until 2009. Monacelli wants to be installed as commissioner and has told the district he will pursue litigation if his civil rights continue to be violated with him being kept from the position. He insists arson is the only disqualifying charge to serve as a fire commissioner.

Cheverie, during this evening’s meeting, said the fire commissioners are under a “gag order” and can’t comment on the issue publicly.

He said the fire commissioners will discuss filling Sheehan’s vacancy next month, which likely will be done by appointment.

Cheverie also said the fire commissioners, who also include David Buczek and Derek Howes, need to divvy up Sheehan’s work on the fire district. Sheehan was on three committees: finance, building and legal.

At its meeting this evening, the fire commissioners:

• Approved two new members as firefighters – Kyle Sidari and Lisa DeCarlo.

• Approved paying $575 each to the top 10 responders to calls in 2025.

• Authorized Treasurer Victoria Tabor to invest fire district funds in treasuries which are like CDs. Tabor was authorized to put $380,000 from the “Apparatus Repair & Replacement Reserve” into a fund that will generate 3.75 percent interest if untouched until April 2027, 3.78 percent through October 2027, and a 3.80 percent annual percentage yield until April 2028.

The commissioners also authorized investing $50,000 from the “Building Repair & Replacement Reserve” into a fund with a yield of 3.44 percent through March 2027.

Press Release, Cornell Cooperative Extension in Orleans County

KNOWLESVILLE – The Orleans CCE Master Food Preserver volunteers are pleased to announce their class lineup for the 2026 season.

The classes kick off on Wednesday, April 22nd at 6 p.m. with a free Intro to Canning and Food Preserving class. Master Food Preserver volunteers will teach attendees basic information needed to start preserving food at home.

The class will offer tips and tricks, reputable recipe resources, as well as steps for safe canning at home. The MFP volunteers will also showcase canning equipment, tools and jars so participants can get a first-hand look at the various food preservation options available.

Master Food Preserver Eileen Sorochty fills a piecrust at a previous Master Food Preserver class.  Eileen and MFP volunteer Albie Suozzi will be leading two youth food preservation classes in 2026.

“This first class in the series is not only an introduction to food preservation for those who have never tried it before, but also a good review for those that may already have some canning experience,” said Karen Desjardin one of the MFP volunteers leading the Intro to Canning class. “Things do change as more research is done. Plus, if you’re only canning once a year, it’s always good to hear reminders about the very important safety guidelines in canning food at home.”

In addition to the Intro to Canning class, Master Food Preservers will be offering another free class on the Economics of Home Food Preservation and Four-Corner Pantry Skills.  This is a new class topic for the Master Food Preservers focusing on how to organize and stock a versatile pantry as well as the economic benefits to preserving food at home. That class will be offered on Wednesday, June 24th at 6 p.m.

Both free classes will be taught classroom style in the “Buzz” Hill Education Center of the Orleans CCE office, while the remaining workshops will be hands-on classes in the Trolley Kitchen. The hands-on classes are all offered for a $15 per person fee and will focus on building participant’s skills in various methods of food preservation. Those class topics and dates are:

• Jelly Workshop: Weds, May 6, 6 to 9 p.m.
• Tomato Preservation: Weds, August 5, 6 to 9 p.m.
• Pressure Canning: Weds, September 16, 6 to 9 p.m.
• Mustard and Pesto Recipes: Weds, October 7th, 6 to 9 p.m.

Master Food Preservers are also so excited to announce two new youth canning classes in the schedule this year! The first class will be a Jam Making class offered on Saturday, June 13th, 1 to 4 p.m. and the second class will be on Tuesday, August 25th, 1 to 4 p.m. on “Canning 101” where students will learn to make a quick pickle recipe.

“I was inspired to offer a youth workshop in food preservation because I see a need today for kids to learn how to be self-sufficient in the home environment,” said Eileen Sorochty, MFP volunteer and one of the teachers for the youth classes. “I think it will give the children a feeling of accomplishment and build self-confidence. Besides, who doesn’t like strawberry jam or a great tasting pickle!”

Both youth classes are offered at a discounted rate of $5 per person.  Attendees must be enrolled in 4-H (they can be enrolled the day of the class for an additional $5) and must be accompanied by an adult. Youth attending the June Jam Making class can enter their jams as exhibits in the Orleans County 4-H Fair!

Details on all classes can be found at the Orleans CCE website Events page (click here). Pre-registration is required for all classes – spots are limited. To register or for more details, please contact the Orleans CCE Master Food Preserver coordinator Katie Oakes at klo54@cornell.edu or 585-798-4265 ext. 125.

Orleans wants to upgrade former GCC site in Albion, which is now used by Probation Department

Photo by Tom Rivers: The Probation Department now utilizes the former GCC building in Albion at 13925 Route 31, West Suite 200. The County Legislature approved paying $975,000 to Herring Enterprises of Holley for the building in October 2023. The county also bought 25.7 acres of vacant land from James Herring Sr., adjacent to the site for $500,000.

Congresswoman Claudia Tenney has released a list of funding requests for the 24^th Congressional District in New York, and noted a $1.65 million request from Orleans County to upgrade the former GCC site in Albion, which is now used by the Probation Department.

The Orleans County Legislature approved spending $975,000 for the GCC site on Route 31 in October 2023. It is now used by the Probation Department, which moved out of the Public Safety Building.

Lynne Johnson, the County Legislature chairwoman, said she and county officials met with Tenney and her staff in February to make the case for the funding and need to upgrade the county’s public safety facilities.

“Congresswoman Tenney promises us she would fight hard for our project and we are so grateful she has delivered,” Johnson said in a statement released by Tenney’s office.

Skip Draper, a county legislator on the Public Safety Committee, added, “These funds will help with the continued realignment of our public safety services, including the modernization  of the former Genesee County Community College building in Albion for the Probation Department. This is an investment to help keep our community safe and we thank Congresswoman Tenney for her tremendous efforts.”

Tenney on Wednesday announced she has submitted 20 projects to the House Appropriations Committee for consideration through the Fiscal Year 2027 Community Project Funding process. Municipalities and nonprofit organizations can submit requests for federal funding for high-priority projects with strong local support. Each submission is reviewed to ensure transparency, accountability, and that taxpayer dollars are directed toward projects that deliver measurable benefits to communities across NY-24, Tenney said.

This year’s submissions focus on strengthening infrastructure, enhancing public safety, investing in clean water and drinking water systems, and supporting workforce development across Upstate New York, she said.

“Bureaucrats in Washington do not know our communities better than the people who actually live and work here,” Tenney said. “These projects reflect the priorities of local leaders across NY-24 and focus on delivering real results. From upgrading water systems and supporting first responders to investing in workforce development and economic growth, these submissions put our communities first. I will continue fighting to ensure these projects are funded and that every federal dollar sent back to our district is spent responsibly and effectively.”

The list of submitted projects in Tenney’s district include:

• $1,000,000 for Town of Brutus – Joint Sanitary Sewer System Improvements
• $5,000,000 for Genesee County / U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – Section 219 Environmental Infrastructure Project
• $1,803,820 for SUNY Genesee Community College – Welding Workforce Development Initiative
• $2,000,000 for Town of Cape Vincent – Water District No. 7

MEDINA – These Albion students, Blake Doty (left) and Jeffrey Echevarria, put a refurbished historic marker back on Wednesday. This marker is at the Millville Cemetery in the town of Shelby.

Albion students repainted four historic markers, a process that started in the fall.

This marker is on North Gravel Road (Route 63) just north of the lift bridge and Erie Canal. It notes the location of the first commercial quarry for Medina Sandstone. It was established by John Ryan.

Students on Wednesday also put a refurbished historic marker in Ridgeway on Route 104 where a tavern opened in 1811. The road was the first Indian Trail route then a stagecoach route.

A fourth historic marker for the Gaines Basin Schoolhouse was finished last fall. That schoolhouse was built in 1832 and is one of the oldest cobblestone buildings in the region.

The students also placed a dozen new Revolutionary War bronze flag markers on graves that didn’t have the markers. Jeffrey Echevarria is shown at the Gaines Cemetery placing a marker for John Percival. The markers were donated by the Orleans Chapter DAR.
