Spencerport mentalist performing

at Fringe Festival

Spencerport mentalist Anthony Presciutti will be appearing at this year’s Rochester Fringe Festival. He is performing one show only on Thursday, September 14, from 8:15 to 9:15 p.m. at CenterStage Theatre at the JCC Hart Theater in Brighton.

Anthony has been performing on stage and traveling across the United States and Canada since he was 17 years old and a student at Spencerport High School. Now, at 23, Anthony has an all-new show with some never-before-seen routines, including his humorous “mind-reading machine” that will broadcast the thoughts of a lucky guest up on the big screen for everyone to see. Anthony has transitioned over the years from a magician to more of a mentalist, where he messes with the mind and makes crazy on-the-spot predictions and revelations that seem impossible to the average person. His show at the Fringe Festival will consist of adult humor, suspense, and amazement.

Anthony has opened for some big names, such as AGT’s Sal “The Voice” Valentinetti, the popular Italian comedy duo, The Uncle Louie Variety Show, and Frank Santorelli from HBO’s The Sopranos

Tickets for Anthony’s show are $15 general admission, $10 for veterans and students, and are available at RochesterFringe.com.

Longtime Brockport firefighter receives award

Brockport Fire District Firefighter Alan C. Way was recently named Firefighter of the Year with over 50 years of service by the Western New York Volunteer Firemen’s Association (WNYVFA).

Way joined the Brockport Fire Department in 1963 shortly before serving his country in the United States Navy. Upon his return from active duty on the USS Randolph CVS, he continued his service to the community in the fire department and in a variety of ways – volunteering at his church, at Lakeside Hospital and teaching first aid and driver safety when called upon.

He has become a well-known fire department volunteer at the local schools with his many years of dedicated service coordinating fire prevention activities. He has also been very active in the Brockport Exempts Club, the Brockport Fire Police, and a variety of fire service organizations across the county and state.

It is for these reasons and many more that Alan Way was nominated for this distinction. He was selected and received the award on July 29, 2023 from WNYVFA.

Opinion

Concerned about variance granted in Hamlin

There were two public hearings on a variance to grant Chickens and Quail for Nathan Pacelli at 61 Hillcrest Drive, Hamlin. The neighbors are totally opposed to this. There are still remaining code violations on this property and Nathan is the son of the current building inspector, Cheryl Pacelli. He was granted a variance for Quail and Chickens.

In Hamlin’s code it clearly states that code enforcement officers cannot have anything to do with this. Cheryl Pacelli did not excuse herself from the first hearing, but did so for the second hearing. What’s up with this? Based on the facts, how could the Zoning Board grant this variance?

Steve Baase, the Town Supervisor, is well aware of the situation and has not yet rectified this. Incidentally,

Steve Baase is the nephew of Norm Baase, the Zoning Board Chairman. Hopefully there will be a fair resolution soon to this injustice.
