Ogden Town Board recognizes Councilman Mal Perry upon retirement; appoints retired police Sergeant Sal Gerbino to fill vacancy

On Wednesday, September 28, the Ogden Town Board recognized Councilman Malcolm Perry upon his final meeting as a board member. Perry recently announced his retirement, having served since July 23, 2003. Prior to joining the town board, he served on the planning board for several years beginning on August 11, 1999.

During the meeting, the board also appointed Sal Gerbino to the newly vacated seat, effective October 3, 2022. Gerbino is a retired Sergeant of the Gates Police Department and retired Deputy of the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office. He is active in the community and helps coordinate the local Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run and Rochester Polar Plunge.

“We have been lucky to have such a genuine and hard-working representative on the town board for so long. Mal truly embodies what it means to be a public servant and worked diligently to help make our community a better place for all,” said Ogden

Town Supervisor Mike Zale. “I’m so thankful to Mal for his many years of selfless service to our town. I’m looking forward to working with Sal as he returns to public service in a new role. I’m confident he will do a great job on the Town Board!”

“It has been an honor and a privilege serving on the Ogden Planning Board and Town Board. I have lived in this town for 55 years; public service was my way of giving back to this wonderful community and making a difference in the lives of my friends and neighbors,” said Councilman Mal Perry. “I love and believe in Ogden and I’m sure great things are ahead for our town.”

“I’m grateful for the vote of confidence extended to me with this appointment and will do my best to serve the residents of Ogden with the same passion I have had in service of others throughout my life. I look forward to working with Supervisor Zale and the other town board members toward that goal,” said Sal Gerbino. Provided information

Eleventh annual Cupcakes for Cancer benefit during October at Shear Emotion

by Tami Raco

Shear Emotion Salon, located in Hilton, has been hosting a cancer benefit for over a decade. Cindy Lutwiller, owner, and her staff put their heart and soul into this annual fundraising effort to support the fight against cancer. “Many of our friends, customers, and family were fighting a cancer battle; some won, some lost, and some are still fighting.” This motivated Cindy and the Shear Emotion team to create this annual event called Cupcakes for Cancer to show support and help with the fight.

Throughout the entire month of October, Shear Emotion Salon is running a coloring contest for children (see the October 2 edition of Westside News), a 50/50 raffle, games including an M&M guess and sucker pull, giveaways of locally donated gift baskets, and the famous baked food sale. Visit the salon before October 29 to help support this

cause by participating in the month-long events. Then stop in on Saturday, October 29, for the baked goods sale with freshly baked items for purchase. The sale runs from 9 a.m. until items are sold out.

All proceeds for this month-long benefit go to Edelman-Gardner Cancer Research Foundation. Edelman-Gardner is a nonprofit foundation based in Hilton that focuses on raising money for cancer research and provides funding for research projects that will increase the quality of life, put cancer in remission, or ultimately find a cure.

They have been a strong partner of the Wilmot Cancer Institute and have given them more than $1,000,000 for Cancer Research.

Help Shear Emotion in the fight against cancer by stopping in through the month of October.

Shear Emotion is located at 1026 Hilton Parma Corners Road. For store hours or more information, visit http://www.shearemotion.com.

Visit Shear Emotion on October 29 to purchase Cupcakes for Cancer to benefit the Edelman-Gardner Research Foundation. Other contests, raffles, and giveaways will be held throughout the month of October. Provided photo.

The Ogden Historical Society’s Annual Ghost Walk is October 14 and 15

Spencerport High School’s STAGE Drama Club will be joining the Ghost Walk for this year’s event. Student actors will perform songs and scenes from their upcoming musical production of The Addams Family. Spencerport High School’s English teacher and STAGE Drama Club Director, Katie Allen said, “Is there a more perfect pairing than the Ghost Walk and the Addams Family, who each year, summon their deceased from their ancestral crypt? We think not! Our student actors are excited to be performing and look forward to welcoming guests into the creepy, quirky world of The Addams Family. We would like to thank the Ogden Historical Society for coordinating this incredible opportunity.”

Head-shaving event to raise funds for childhood cancer research

The Red Jug Pub in Brockport will host its second annual St. Baldrick’s Foundation signature head-shaving event to raise funds for lifesaving childhood cancer research on Sunday, October 9. With a goal of raising $10,000, over seven participants have registered to shave their head to support the foundation’s mission to fund the best research to find cures and better treatments for kids with cancer.

One in five children diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. will not survive. Those who do survive often suffer

long-term effects from treatment too harsh for their developing bodies. As the largest non-government funder of childhood cancer research grants, St. Baldrick’s Foundation is leading the charge to conquer kids’ cancer.

The event will be held at The Red Jug Pub, 38 Merchant Street, Brockport, from 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, October 9. For more information, check out the event page, https://www.stbaldricks. org/events/mypage/13790/2022. Provided information

Seymour Library Director bids farewell

Thank you to the Town of Clarkson, Town of Sweden and the Village of Brockport communities for allowing me to lead Seymour Library and grow in both my career and through increased life experiences. I came to the Library as Director in December 2020, mid-pandemic, and inherited a community gem in need of bouncing back. With a dedicated staff and hardworking Library Board we have set Seymour Library up to succeed and move past the idle time of the epidemic. The past two years have been filled with many joy-filled events and it is bittersweet I will not be here to see through several initiatives coming soon to the Library. A highlight I am proud of is the Silver Anniversary Celebration honoring the East Avenue Library location this past December. Our community gathered along with civic leaders and staff to remember and celebrate the past 25 years of Seymour Library. Together we created a Seymour Library Time Capsule (on display at the Library) to be opened in 2046. I do hope to be a part of that future celebration unveiling the capsule.

A million thanks to the community for taking our Library survey. The results will be available at the library and it shows what a bright future Seymour Library has. In the coming weeks at Seymour Library there is much to be excited for. Our children’s librarian is launching two Literacy Programs for parents and children. Baby Dragons, for infants to 23 months and 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten for preschoolers will take your child on a reading adventure like no other. Join Miss Jen on October 13 at 11 a.m. for all the fun, and come get your first introduction to our new mascot, Seymour the Book Dragon. In the coming month, Seymour’s printing service will be enhanced. The Library will be implementing a remote printing service, PrinterOn. Available to our patrons via a mobile app or from our website, you print from home and come pick it up at the print terminal station

It has been a great pleasure to serve Seymour Library. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff. Their hardworking ethic and strong support during my tenure were wonderful. Finally, thank you to Bernie LoBracco, president of Seymour Library Board of Trustees and the entire Board. You were a pleasure to work for. I will always recall this time fondly and I look forward to seeing the great work of Seymour Library in the coming years.

Coming Soon!

Shelton, Moser inducted into Roberts Wesleyan’s

Roberts Wesleyan University welcomed two new members into its Athletic Hall of Fame on Saturday, September 24.

Dr. Kimber Shelton (Class of 2002), a standout in track and field and volleyball, and Eric Moser (Class of 1997), a basketball three-point shooter extraordinaire, were honored in a ceremony that helped cap off Homecoming Weekend.

“The Roberts Wesleyan University Athletics Hall of Fame recognizes student-athletes, coaches and contributors who have achieved tremendous success and/or have made significant contributions to the Raiders and Redhawks Athletic Department and beyond,” Executive Director of Athletics Bob Segave said. “Both Kimber and Eric are so deserving of this honor and it is my distinct pleasure to welcome them into this exclusive club.”

Shelton still holds the outdoor track and field program record for long jump (19-6 1/4) and has three top five performances in indoor track and field. She also ranks fourth in career kills (1,490) in volleyball and owns four top-three records in volleyball for kills and aces in a single game.

Shelton’s favorite memories of Roberts include riding in an airplane for the first time while traveling to NAIA’s for track and field, the preseason volleyball trip to Florida, hanging out at BT’s Café and mentoring high school students.

Shelton is a licensed psychologist, author, speaker and the owner of KLS Counseling and Consulting Services in Duncanville, Texas. She provides individual and couples counseling; while specializing in cultural diversity, LGBTQ issues, trauma and relationships. She has published two books,

SUNY Brockport hosted the 17th annual Courage Bowl on October 1 and the Golden Eagles defeated St. John Fisher, 25-0, for their fifth consecutive win. The annual football game raises funds for Camp Good Days and Special Times. For the game, Camp Good Days selects honorary coaches and cheerleaders for both teams. These are Camp Good Days campers who have been diagnosed with cancer and would normally not be allowed to participate in a real football game. The Camp Good Days Courage Bowl gives these campers that opportunity. As this year’s winners, the Golden Eagles were presented with the Teddi Trophy, named in memory of Teddi Mervis, Gary Mervis’ daughter and the inspiration behind Camp Good Days.

Wreaths Across America Radio hosting roundtable discussion on veteran healing

Wreaths Across America Radio has led a series of roundtable discussions focused on veteran healing through sharing stories of resilience, purpose, and success. The next discussion will take place on Thursday, October 13, at noon, and can be heard exclusively on Wreaths Across America Radio.

The roundtable will focus on the recalibrated warrior, and how finding purpose can benefit not only in your own journey of resilience but help connect with others working to overcome similar challenges. Guest panelists, Travis Mills and Ginger Gilber Ravella, will be interviewed by Wreaths Across America’s Executive Director Karen Worcester and Director of Military and Veteran Outreach, Joe Regan, United States Army Veteran.

Travis Mills, Founder and President of the Board for the Travis Mills Foundation, is a retired United States Army Staff Sergeant of the 82nd Airborne, a motivational speaker, actor, author, and advocate for veterans and amputees. He is one of only five quadruple amputees from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to survive.

Ginger Gilbert Ravella is an author, military wife, Gold Star (widow), mother, and Ambassador for the Gary Sinise Foundation. Her personal mission is to encourage anyone who seeks reconciliation and peace when life hurts the most and to continue to serve a nation by serving others.

The goal of the roundtable series is to help reduce barriers for veterans by:

•Supporting generational bonds between service veterans through stories of service and success;

•Destigmatizing issues faced by veterans and asking for help;

•Combating inaccurate perceptions of veterans by discussing the diverse experiences, challenges, and success of service members, veterans, and their families; and •Connecting veterans with valuable resources.

You can listen to Wreaths Across America Radio’s 24/7 internet stream anytime and anywhere on the iHeart Radio app, Audacy app, TuneIn app, or at www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/radio.

Hamlin woman earns TOPS® recognition for weight loss

TOPS Club, Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly SM), the nonprofit weightloss support organization, has begun unveiling its top “royalty” from 2021 for 2022. TOPS® royalty are women and men who, at the end of the year, have officially recorded the largest weight loss from their starting weight, regardless of the time taken to reach their goal. Susan Reynolds of Hamlin, who lost 93.75 pounds, and Paul Wilson of Port Leyden, who lost 48 pounds, are the 2021 New York Queen and King. They were honored at the New York recognition event on June 4 in Auburn.

TOPS provides an individual approach to weight loss and overall wellness. Consistent group support, health education, and recognition are all key components to successful weight management. New York has an adult obesity rate of 26.3%. During 2021, TOPS members in New York lost a cumulative 9,630 pounds.

“Through their participation in TOPS, we are extremely proud of our TOPS® members’ weight-loss accomplishments,” said TOPS President Rick Danforth, who has maintained a 100-pound weight loss for more than 15 years. “Celebrating the life-changing achievements of not only these individuals but those who have come before them is a hallmark of TOPS’ winning formula. By maintaining a commitment to personal lifestyle

changes, TOPS members are given the tools and assistance to achieve their weight loss goals.”

Weekly meetings are the heart of TOPS support, whether they are held in-person or online. In-person meetings start with an optional weigh-in, with members then sharing challenges, successes, or goals, followed by a brief program covering a variety of health and wellness topics, and may conclude with awards and recognition for the week. Visitors can attend their first TOPS in-person meeting free of charge and encouraged to try more than one chapter, since they’re all a little different.

For online membership, virtual meetings are conducted via Zoom and are offered at least three times during the week. The meeting starts with members disclosing challenges, successes, or goals. Next, the online facilitator presents a prepared program and sometimes includes guest speakers who share their expert views on fitness, nutrition, and more. Meetings conclude with action steps related to the program presented.

Membership starts at $49 per year in the U.S. and $59 annually in Canada, plus nominal monthly chapter fees. To learn more about membership options or to find a local chapter, visit the TOPS website, www.Tops.org, or call 800-932-8677.

Rochester Oratorio Society to perform “The Ordering of Moses”

The Rochester Oratorio Society will perform “The Ordering of Moses” at Hochstein Performance Hall in Rochester on Thursday, October 13 at 7:30 p.m.

The piece is by R. Nathaniel Dett, who was the first Black graduate of the Eastman School of Music, president of the Rochester NAACP, and director of music at Trinity Presbyterian (now Trinity Emmanuel) and Two Saints Episcopal churches. He was also a mentor to Rochester’s William Warfield.

Dett completed “The Ordering of Moses” in 1937, having begun it as his master’s thesis at Eastman. The oratorio’s rich, emotional orchestration offers a symbolist portrait of Moses from the burning bush up to his deliverance of the Israelites through the Red Sea.

The concert will feature Eastman graduates Alexis Peart, Holden Turner, and Christina Faye, as well as School of the Arts graduate Emmett Tross. Sarah Joyce Cooper and Thomas Warfield round out the cast of featured artists.

The Rochester Oratorio Society Chorus and Orchestra will be joined by the the Nathaniel Dett Chorale, Canada’s first professional choral group dedicated to Afrocentric music of all styles, and their director, Brainerd Blyden-Taylor, as well as The Roberts Wesleyan Chorale, directed by Adam Potter.

Tickets are $25 for adults, $15 for seniors and students, and are available at https://ROSsings.org/dett or at 585-743-2234. Advance ticket purchases are strongly encouraged.
