ALBION, NY - Ed Philips has worked for over 15 years at the printing company on Route 98, now known as Albion Color. He depends on the income to support his wife and teenage son.

He spent June 1st applying for unemployment and wondering what is next for him and the company for which he worked.

The company has roots dating back to 1881 in Albion. It was started by Arthur Eddy and stayed in the family until being sold in 1976 to Richard Remley. The company was called Remley & Company until 2001, when it was sold to Printing Methods Inc. of Rochester. They changed the name to Albion Color.

Philips says it was always a good place to work, but about six months ago, it became clear the economy was taking its toll.

The number of orders coming in began to wane, and so did the work force. Last fall, there were 90 people working at the Albion facility, In May of 2010 the number had fallen to 40.

For the 24th year in a row, the Rotary Club will hold a fishing derby on Lake Ontario.

The 2010 installment of the event will take place from August 7th until August 22nd.

Grand Prize for the overall biggest fish is $4,000.

An Orleans County man accused of arranging the theft of his tractor-trailer is facing felony charges.

Matthew R. Tower, 32, of Gaines was recently charged with fourth-degree grand larceny, a felony, following a lengthy investigation by the Orleans County Sheriff's Office, Orleans County Sheriff Scott Hess announced. Tower is accused of conspiring with two men and arranging for the duo to steal his 14-year-old tractor-trailer in March, so he could collect insurance money on the rig, Hess said.

The truck, which is worth approximately $70,000, was stolen from 15731 Route 31 in Murray on or about March 31, deputies said.

The plan was for one of the two men to drive the tractor-trailer to North Carolina to dispose of the truck, deputies said.
