FROM THE NEW YORK STATE TEACHERS UNION:  

November 4, 2026

STEUBEN COUNTY LOCAL RESULTS 

November 3, 2026

State Senator George Borrello expressed his gratitude to the voters of the 57th Senate District for re-electing him to a fourth term in the State Senate and vowed to uphold their trust by continuing to fight for affordability, accountability and common sense in Albany. 

He issued the following statement:

“I am humbled and grateful to the people of the 57th District for once again electing me to be their voice in Albany.

“Over the past six years, I’ve worked hard to build a record that reflects the priorities of the people I represent. That means standing up for taxpayers, fighting for our farmers and small businesses, challenging costly energy mandates and working to keep our communities safe. I’ve never been afraid to speak out or take on a difficult fight when the well-being of the people I represent is at stake.

“The concerns I’ve heard from residents about affordability, energy policy, public safety and other key issues will continue to drive my work in Albany. We’ve made progress on some important issues, but there’s much more to do. I’ll keep fighting for policies that will reverse the decline we’ve experienced under one-party rule and the outmigration that has resulted. New York has so many assets and potential. With the right policies, we can be the Empire State again.

“I want to thank my family and friends, our dedicated volunteers and everyone who supported my  campaign. Your hard work and encouragement mean more than I can express. And to everyone in the 57th District, whether you voted for me or not, I want you to know that I’ll continue working just as hard to represent you. There is no greater privilege than having the opportunity to serve the neighbors and communities I care so deeply about.”

By Alfred State College Spokesperson Paul Welker

The Alfred State Drama Club is excited to present the musical Catch Me If You Can. The show will run Nov. 19 – 21, 2026 in the Cappadonia Auditorium located in the Orvis Activities Center. Performances are at 7 PM on Nov. 19, 20, and 21 a matinee show at 2 PM on Nov. 21.  Based on the hit DreamWorks film, this splashy spectacle follows the high-flying adventures of a globetrotting con artist. Seeking fame and fortune, precocious teenager, Frank Abagnale, Jr., runs away from home to begin an unforgettable adventure. With nothing more than his boyish charm, a big imagination and millions of dollars in forged checks, Frank successfully poses as a pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer – living the high life and winning the girl of his dreams. When Frank’s lies catch the attention of FBI agent, Carl Hanratty, though, Carl pursues Frank across the country to make him pay for his crimes.  Starring sophomore Luke Jensen as Frank Abagnale, Jr., senior Quinn Blair as FBI agent Carl Hanratty, fourth-year Anthony Woods as Frank Abagnale, Sr., and senior Sara Schaubroeck as Brenda Strong this show is filled with cons and raunchy humor.

Director of Drama, Abby Hurley is excited to put on this show. “We have worked extremely hard to put on this show for everyone, and I hope audiences enjoy it! One of our graduating seniors, Connor Ball, who is our incredibly dedicated Stage Crew Lead and our stage manager, has wanted to do this show for quite some time. I am glad he gets to work on a passion project for his last musical with us.”  Tickets can be purchased at the campus store with cash, card, or CSA. Admission is $5 for students and $10 for general admission. Tickets will also be sold at the door, cash only. Please be advised this show is PG-13 and not recommended for audiences under age 15.  A concessions stand will be available (cash only) to benefit the Mary Cariola Center in Rochester, the Performing Arts groups’ civic engagement cause.

FROM NOYES/UR MEDICINE: Noyes Memorial Hospital will once again honor our veterans and active military members through our annual Veterans Day Honor Wall Ceremony on Wednesday, November 11, at 12:00 p.m., in the hospital’s main lobby in Dansville. The Honor Wall features photographs of Noyes employees, volunteers, and family members who have served or are currently serving in the United States military. The displays are featured at both Noyes Memorial Hospital in Dansville and Noyes Health Services in Geneseo. Established several years ago by retired Noyes employee Brenda Hoag, this meaningful tradition is now carried on by Noyes employee Stephanie Gleason, with the help of colleagues, volunteers, and family members.

The project holds special significance for Stephanie, whose daughter, Staff Sergeant Alexandria Gleason-Morrow, an Air Force weapons loader from Dansville, tragically passed away in March 2017 while serving in Jordan. The Honor Wall is a heartfelt tribute to the individuals and families who have sacrificed so much in service to our country and a tradition we are incredibly proud to continue at Noyes.
