When Dahl asked Egan to accompany him, Egan was taken aback. “I was really honored. I’ve known George and the Dahl family all my life. The Dahl and Egan families are neighbors,” Egan said. Dahl asked Egan to accompany him for many reasons. “John’s Dad was one of my best friends. He passed when John was young, and so I made sure to keep track of John,” Dahl said. Egan added, “George gave me my first job.” Over the years, Dahl and Egan became friends, and both are Rotarians. “John is a ‘get things done’ kind of person. I knew he would be a great person to go on this trip with me,” Dahl said.

Two fallen heroes from Brockport FD added to NYS Memorial Wall Brockport Firefighters joined the family of fallen hero Firefighter James A. Hopkins at the NYS Fallen Firefighters Memorial Wall in Albany when his name and the name of Firefighter Freeman J. Board were added to the wall. In a somber, yet fitting ceremony, state fire officials shared the stage with Governor Kathy Hochul, Homeland Security Commissioner Jackie Bray and others when they acknowledged the addition of 29 fallen firefighters during the 26th Annual Ceremony held at the Empire State Plaza. The Governor had this to say “It is a distinct honor and privilege to join with the families, friends, and colleagues of these fallen firefighters, to recognize these heroes and their families for their sacrifices. We can never thank these brave firefighters enough for rushing into danger to protect New Yorkers from fire danger.” In her remarks, Commissioner Bray spoke of Firefighter Board specifically when she said “Today, we are honoring 29 fallen firefighters, one of whom I venture has little family in the room.

Representing Brockport FD at the event were (l-r) Past Chief Michael Menear, Past Chief Laurence Vaughan, District PIO Christopher Martin, and Past Chief Norman Knapp.

Freeman J. Board was a member of the Thomas Cornes Engine and Hose Company #3 of the Village of Brockport in Monroe County. He was appointed a member of the fire department on March 12th, 1877. He died on June 19th, 1882 when a fire broke out shortly before midnight. He wasn’t on duty. He wasn’t scheduled to work that night, but he showed up anyway and he perished helping others to safety.” This was the only firefighter loss mentioned in detail during the remarks of those that took to the microphone. Both of the Brockport Firefighters are historic additions accepted for inclusion earlier this year after a review of the nominations submitted by the Brockport Fire District to be added. Firefighter Freeman J. Board was “destroyed by fire” as reported in the local news media in June of 1882 during the Johnston Harvester manufacturing plant fire on North Main Street in the Village of Brockport. Firefighter James A. Hopkins died as a direct result of injuries he sustained while performing Emergency Medical Services for the Brockport Fire Department in 1971. Mrs. Barbara Baase, widow of James Hopkins and her daughter, Kimberly with her husband Michael were at the ceremony to accept the New York State flag boxed in a maple flag frame that had been flown over the Memorial earlier this year in honor of their family member. Past Chief Norman Knapp escorted the Hopkins family during the ceremony representing the Brockport FD. Christopher Martin, District PIO accepted the boxed flag on behalf of the Board family, and he was accompanied by Past Chiefs Laurence Vaughan and Michael Menear.

RMSC and Lollypop Farm collaborate to develop new exhibit challenge Celebrating its 150th anniversary, Lollypop Farm has partnered up with the RMSC to develop a new challenge in the RMSC’s Inventor Center Exhibit, named Lollypop Farm: Adventures to Adoption. This new visitor experience engages RMSC visitors in two key parts of Lollypop Farm’s work: animal care and adoption. Using a combination of real life examples of x-ray images and microscope samples, visitors will play the role of a Veterinary Technician to diagnose the health issues facing several different stuffed animals. These will range from a cat with ear mites, to a guinea pig with bladder stones, and a cuddly pit bull that swallowed a chew toy.

“Our highly interactive Lollypop Farm: Adventures to Adoption gives children and families the opportunity to experience being a Vet Tech – with a stuffed animal ‘patient’ – as well as matching a pet up for adoption with a family searching for one. We know this experience will go far in helping visitors understand what it takes to help build a just and compassionate world for all animals and thank the RMSC for this wonderful opportunity.” “The team at Lollypop Farm was a fantastic partner to work with,” says Calvin Uzelmeier, Director of Exhibits at the RMSC. “From initial brainstorming about a fun visitor experience that would engage audiences with their work, to the creation of content so that the experience is as

engaging and accurate as possible, they brought their unique expertise and passion to each aspect of the project.” With each visit, guests may discover a different combination of the 17 total animals available for diagnosis. In the adoption game, guests will be challenged with trying to find the perfect new home for different animals available for adoption. Information about each animal’s personality will help give clues as to the perfect new living environment for an adoption match. The adoption game

will be available as both a matching card game for younger visitors and a touch-screen tablet game. These stuffed animals will be available to “adopt” at the Shop at RMSC (without ear mites or bladder stones!). Lollypop Farm: Adventures to Adoption is set to open to the public on Tuesday, October 17, at 9 a.m. and will run through June 2024. For more information, go to www.rmsc. org/inventorcenter.

A community advocate takes a trip of a lifetime by Maggie Fitzgibbon He’s an advocate, a Brockport community volunteer, and, most importantly, a veteran. Brockport resident George Dahl recently traveled with 61 other veterans on Honor Flight Mission 80 to Washington, D.C. The 24-hour Honor Flight mission provides the veterans an opportunity to tour the U.S. War Memorials. But one of the greatest purposes of the trip is for the veterans to reunite with their fellow service members. This trip re-creates the sense of comradeship that members felt during their military service. Dahl, age 80, completed his application to travel on an Honor Flight months ago. When notified that he was approved, he knew this would be a trip of a lifetime. Dahl’s military life Dahl was just 18 years old when he enlisted in the Air Force in 1961. “I really was not sure what I wanted to do after I graduated from high school, so I enlisted with three other friends,” Dahl said. “I was always interested in planes, so that’s why I enlisted in the Air Force.”

After basic training, Dahl was assigned to a technical training school in Texas, where he trained to be an aviation mechanic. From there, Dahl was sent to several different bases: Chanute Air Force Base in Illinois and a Strategic Air Command base in New Hampshire at Pease Air National Guard Base. In 1963, he was assigned to a Royal Canadian Air Force base in Edmonton, Canada. His first assignment overseas was in Okinawa, Japan. His next transfer landed him at five refueling bases in Thailand, specifically Dung Mong. E4 Airman First Class Dahl maintained and repaired ground equipment that supported aircraft in combat areas. These refueling bases supported bombers involved in warfare in Vietnam. “I enjoyed being out of the country, seeing new landscapes and different cultures. I was overseas for about 18 months,” Dahl said. Life when he returned home He returned home in 1965. “My folks lived in Batavia. I was guaranteed a job at Loblaws, a supermarket chain. I worked there part-time during high school,” he said.

It was there he began a career as a produce manager. Dahl earned national awards for his produce displays. Shortly after, he was transferred to the Loblaws in Brockport. Dahl married his wife, Donna, in 1967. The newlyweds bought a home in Kendall but eventually moved to Brockport, where their roots in this community were planted, and Dahl began a new chapter in his family and business life. As his family flourished with the addition of four children, he purchased a business called Cook Displays Studios. He is best known for his next business venture, Cook-Dahl, Inc. This was a full-service remodeling company that specialized in kitchens, bathrooms, interiors, and home additions. Why he gives his time to his community Anyone who lives in the Brockport area knows that George Dahl is synonymous with community service. Dahl is a member of the Brockport Fire Department, a past president and a current member of the Brockport Rotary, and one of the founding members of the Brockport Integrated Service Club Organizations (BISCO). The mission of this association is to bring local service organizations together to cooperatively and collectively contribute to the betterment and well-being of eligible individuals or groups of children in the westernmost towns of Monroe County. In the past, this group’s biggest project was The Brockport Arts Festival. The Village of Brockport now presents this festival. Brockport resident Lorraine D’Angelo is a Rotarian. She has known Dahl for 15 years. When asked to describe Dahl, she said, “George is funloving, jovial, and truly is a giver. Brockport is so fortunate to have him as a resident and community servant.” Dahl believes in giving his time for many reasons. “The satisfaction of helping others and doing something good for my community is why I gave and still give my time.

Patty Nugent, of Brockport, lost her daughter to a heroin/fentanyl overdose on November 6, 2014. She found herself and her family in one of the worst horrors a parent can experience. Kylie Abbott was a bright spirit and a graduate of Brockport High School where she had been a cheerleader. Her addiction began after an injury which led to her using a prescription to oxycontin. The use of this pain medication ultimately led to several years of a battle with addiction to opioids. “Kylie fought to break her addiction,” said her mom, Patty. Kylie voluntarily admitted herself into drug rehabilitation centers several times, but would eventually relapse again. After many attempts to break the chains of addiction in her young life, Kylie was living with her mom and trying to turn her life around. Patty came home to pick up Kylie on November 6 to take her Christmas shopping. When Patty went upstairs to check on Kylie, she found her daughter unconscious and purple and blue colored. “I just started screaming,” Patty reflected. Tragically, this relapse took the 25-year-old’s life, leaving a gaping hole in her family’s hearts and robbing her two young children of their mom. To help the family process their grief and create a purpose in this tragedy, Patty began an annual event to help others. She collects necessity items and creates Kylie’s Kindness Bags for the homeless in the community to help them survive through the harshness of winter.

Patty Nugent lost her daughter, Kylie, to a drug overdose in November 2014. Kylie herself was homeless at times after relapses. “There were times when Kylie lived on the streets with her 18-month-old and 4-year-old children, and I know how hard that was.” Patty will assemble the collected survival items and make individual bags to deliver to those in need on “Kylie’s angel day” (November 6) to honor her and help others who are in similar struggles that she was faced with. The community is invited to participate in the collection of the items that will be going into Kylie’s Kindness Bags. Among the requested items are hand warmers, individually wrapped snacks, granola bars, socks and pet food. If you would like more information or to contribute to Kylie’s Kindness Bags, email Patty at pattynugent56@gmail.com or contact her on Facebook. The donation deadline is Friday, October 27.

PGUCC holding Pie Sale; orders due Oct. 15 The Parma Greece United Church of Christ, located at 1211 Manitou Road at the Latta Road intersection is hosting a Pie Sale Fundraiser. Profits from the fundraiser will be used to support the programs and services of the church.

Spiritualism exhibit at the Morgan-Manning House The Spiritualism movement in America began a decade before the American Civil War and seemed to seize the imagination of many into the twentieth century. The basic premise that it was possible for the living to communicate with the dead was popularized by two sisters from Hydesville, New York – the Fox Sisters. Spiritualism has a deep and com-

Celebrating National Friends of Libraries Week in Parma The Parma Public Library will be spending the week of October 15, 2023, celebrating its Friends of the Library group as part of the 17th annual celebration of National Friends of Libraries Week. The Friends of the Parma Library bookstore, Mainly Books, 24 Main Street, Hilton, opened in 2007 to support the Parma Public Library. Currently over 150 community members contribute annually to Friends by becoming a Friend, and more than 40 of these contributors actively volunteer their time and energy in many capacities to maintain the bookstore. Volunteers greet customers and complete sales, help find that one special book, rotate stock, answer questions, put puzzles together, volunteer at semiannual sales in the library and host many other activities. Volunteer opportunities are often based on what each volunteer enjoys doing. Library activities are supported throughout the year as needed. These activities include the very busy summer kids’ reading program, adult reading programs, Empire passes, art supplies, a wide variety of speakers and events, magazine and newspaper subscriptions, a bag of books for library cards issued to young people, and so much more throughout the year. Funds are raised by community donations of gently used books, puzzles, DVDs and other media. Donations from the community and as far away as Florida are brought in almost daily. Many visitors leave a few extra pennies to hundreds of dollars in the Donation Book on the desk to continue to support the library.

Report highlights growing needs of older adults and calls for renewed efforts to address them Across the Finger Lakes region, the area’s fast-growing older adult population is facing concerning health challenges that are leading to glaring health inequities and reduced life expectancy. After a hiatus driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Sage II Commission was convened by Common Ground Health in 2022 to produce the newly released SAGE II Report: Planning for the older adult population in the Finger Lakes region, 2023. The report projects that the 65+ population in the region will grow by 44 percent by 2040. It projects a decrease in the population of all other age groups. To meet the needs of this growing population, the Sage II Commission analyzed regional trends and discussed the numerous challenges facing adults 65 years and older in the Finger Lakes region. The Commission’s recommendations updated the comprehensive longrange plan developed by the first Sage Commission in 2011. “Twelve years ago, we brought together the Sage Commission to look at how well our region is able to meet the needs of the growing older adult population, and the community took immediate action to address the 2011 report’s recommendations,” said Wade Norwood, CEO of Common Ground. “Unfortunately, as the world shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw the most vulnerable of our neighbors struggle to afford food and housing, while

trying to stay healthy in the face of a deadly virus. Our nursing homes were pushed to the brink.” The report also notes that the pandemic put tremendous social and economic strain on the systems and resources available to support the region’s older adult population. This is especially true of older adults ineligible for Medicaid and unable to afford services. The report puts forward 10 new recommendations, and local leaders believe they are achievable. “It takes political will, cost savings and private/public partnerships to move a plan into action. We have all three,” said Ann Marie Cook, president/CEO of Lifespan and Co-chair of the SAGE II Commission, which is convened by Common Ground. “We have already begun discussions with political leaders about our report and are pleased to see aligned priorities between our report and the New York State Master Plan for Aging. Our report includes proven cost-effective practices already in use in our community. The recommendations in the report originate from collaborators including multi-stakeholder private and public partners.” The report’s nine priority areas for improvement are: 1. Combat ageism 2. Expand critical partnerships to support equitable systemic change and prevention 3. Educate and support caregivers 4. Increase the integration of medical and social services. 5. Fund proven programs and services 6. Increase affordable and accessible housing 7. Expand accessible transportation services 8. Retain and grow the health care and social services workforce 9. Use partnerships to rebalance and redesign long-term care infrastructure.

The recommendations are made all that more urgent by the growth of the older adult population in the Finger Lakes and the decline in younger adults in the region. This trend will only grow more pronounced by 2040 and create a large shortage of caregivers for older adults. Between 2015 and 2040, the adult population between the ages of 65 and 84 will have grown by 34% (from 180,528 to 241,761). During the same period, the adult population over 85 years old will double in the region (from 31,128 to 62,722). The population between the ages of 45 and 64 will shrink by 13%. This burgeoning population of seniors will have unique – and unmet – social services needs. “Poverty in older adults is widespread throughout the Finger Lakes region,” said Triciajean Jones, director of the Ontario County Office for the Aging. “Many of the safety net supports are based on the federal poverty level, but we know that there are many people just above this line who do not qualify for these supports. They are struggling to make choices and have input into their own futures. Too often there are forces that stop older adults from making choices, but you treat people right when you offer them a say over where and how they are going to live.” “Whenever we lose one of the elders of the community, it’s the equivalent of a library burning down,” said Norwood. “Our data shows that we are losing our older adults unnecessarily early and we are being robbed of their wisdom and experience. This is simply because of access to resources.” Access the report at www.commongroundhealth.org/ SageReport.

A community advocate takes a trip of a lifetime continued from front page The group started at 4 a.m. on Saturday, September 30, with breakfast at the airport. They traveled to Baltimore and were motor coached to the war memorials in Washington, D.C., for a full day. The Mission 80 motor coaches returned late afternoon to their hotel for a special banquet. Early Sunday, October 1, the vets were shuttled to the airport for their return flight to Rochester. The veterans and guardians returned home not just as war veterans but as heroes. The Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport was brimming with community members, veterans, family, and friends, all cheering for the vets. Egan noted how overwhelming the trip was. “It truly was unreal. To witness the reception at both airports, including the motorcycle escorts, and watch the veterans’ reactions was humbling. The humility these veterans displayed was moving,” Egan said. “Some of the veterans shared their service stories, which was inspirational. What these vets experienced was hard to believe.” When asked about his trip, Dahl said, “It was phenomenal. The Honor Flight organization is an incredible organization. Our trip went off without a hitch.” Dahl added how the trip gave the vets the opportunity to connect and make friends. Not only was this Honor Flight journey a chance to bond with fellow service people, but also, the vets were able to reflect upon their service to our country. “Some of the vets were able to speak about their war experiences.” Dahl shared how the tour of the United States monuments was very moving.

George Dahl, pushed by John Egan, is welcomed home by veterans. Photo by Maggie Fitzgibbon. “When we visited Arlington National Cemetery and witnessed the Changing of the Guard, you could hear a pin drop. It was very sobering and brought some tears to our eyes,” he said.

Dahl highly recommends any vet to apply to go on an Honor Flight. “It’s something that you will never forget. It’s a tearful and joyful experience,” Dahl said.

About Honor Flight by Maggie Fitzgibbon According to its website, Honor Flight, Inc. and affiliated hubs in the national Honor Flight Network are private, not-for-profit organizations created to honor America’s Veterans for their many sacrifices. There are over 130 regional hubs. There is no cost for a veteran to travel on an Honor Flight. Each year, this national organization flies veterans to Washington, D.C., for a weekend full of comradeship and friendship as they tour the nation’s monuments. The flying season runs from April to October. Rochester became an official hub in the Honor Flight Network in June 2008. The Welcome Home It was a highly charged, emotional afternoon on Sunday, October 1, as 59 local veterans made their return to the Rochester International Airport. Hundreds of veterans, Honor Flight volunteers, friends, family, and community members lined the airport hallways, all waiting for the Honor Flight veterans to return. Rush resident and Navy veteran Larry Meston wanted to greet returnees and welcome them home. Meston served in the Navy from 1971 until 1975. This Vietnam vet became emotional as he spoke of his war experiences.

“For over 30 years, I never told anyone or spoke of my service during the Vietnam War. We were not accepted, and we were not recognized for our service during the war,” he said as he held back tears. “I came today to make sure that my fellow comrades are welcomed home just like I was last year when I went on an Honor Flight.” For the last two years, Nina LeFrois has volunteered for Honor Flight. Her reason for volunteering is simple. “These vets did an awful lot and gave up so much for our country. So I can spend my afternoon here at the airport, helping with this welcome home event.” As the veterans made their way through the airport, it was a moving scene. They were greeted with salutes, hugs, kisses, tears, and many handshakes. The crowd cheered and shouted, “Welcome Home!” These veterans are living memorials to our country’s sacrifice and are so very deserving of this welcome home, something many were long denied. Like many others, this writer shed a few tears. As I watched some wheelchair-bound Honor Flight veterans stand and salute their comrades during the parade, I could not help but feel an immense amount of gratitude. Welcome Home, vets, and thank you for risking your life to protect others. To learn more about Honor Flight, visit honorflightrochester.org.

Learning Social Justice exhibition features life lessons What is social justice? It is the concept that everyone deserves to be treated equally and equitably. It has been determined in many corners of the globe that this sort of respect has been sorely lacking. Learning Social Justice is an exhibition that aims to show how people are learning and fighting for what social justice can and should be in our region, and where we have come up short. The show will be on view at the Tower Fine Arts Center Gallery at SUNY Brockport from October 19 through November 8, 2023. The Gallery is located at 180 Holley Street, Brockport, and the exhibition is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, noon to 5 p.m.; and Sunday, 1 to 4 p.m. An opening reception will take place on Thursday, October 19, at 4 p.m. Curated by Gallery Director Tate Shaw, the exhibition reflects an update to the University’s curriculum. SUNY Brockport has added social justice to the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion requirements of its General Education program. The Brockport website sums up the heart of the matter: “Interacting with people of all different backgrounds, mindsets, and social experiences can present a challenge without prior exposure to the principles of diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice.” Shaw reflected on the concept of social justice and “how artists show it through their processes and practice.” He gathered several diverse regional artists and community publishing projects to consider “expansive meanings of social justice and desires for

Michelle Harris, Martin Hawk, and Evelyne Leblanc-Roberge among others, as well as the publishing projects In This Moment: Revolution, Reckoning, Reparation, Fertile Ground, and more. In an effort to expand the boundaries of the Gallery, one installation – Leb-

lanc-Roberge’s “The Only Thing I See is Sky” – is a series of photo banners that will be strung throughout the lobby of the Tower Fine Arts Center, each flag depicting images of sky as seen from the 33 incarceration or detention facilities within a two-hour radius of Rochester.

Holley State Championship soccer teams and coach inducted into Hawks Sports Hall of Fame On Saturday, September 30, the Holley Central School District in partnership with the Holley Sports Boosters inducted the 1990 and 1991 Class D State Championship boys varsity soccer teams into the Holley Hawks Sports Hall of Fame. The ceremony was held at Holley’s Sander Field at the Woodlands at 7 p.m. between the girls varsity soccer and boys varsity soccer Homecoming contests. Following tradition, the inductees exited from behind the trees and onto the field to the sound of “Hells Bells” by AC/DC playing over the speaker. Together, they walked to centerfield alongside Coach Dan Orbaker and Assistant Coach Jim Palermo where they were introduced. They each wore Hawk Red headbands that read “Have no heart! Feel no pain!” Articles from the 1990 and 1991 December editions of Holley’s Dimension newsletter were read aloud at the ceremony. “For a second year in a row, the Hawks were behind but they dug deep and won the game in two thrilling overtime periods. For the first time in section V history, a team has won the state championship two years in a row,” wrote Orbaker in 1991.

Coach Dan Orbaker in 1990 (top) and with his Hall of Fame plaque.

“What the team did was incredible, a record of 24-0-1. The greatest record in school history once again brought Holley a place in state history. All in all, this team was a club that in the beginning of the season did not have any idea of what it could become. The TEAM concept was critical to their success and through their hard work, determination and trust in each other they truly became champions!” Along with the two teams, Coach Dan Orbaker was individually inducted into the Holley Sports Hall of Fame Saturday evening. Orbaker retired from his role as a high school chemistry teacher and varsity boys soccer coach at Holley in 2019 after 33 years. In that time, the Hawks secured 15 Genesee Region League titles, nine Section V championships and two state titles. Inducted into the Section V Hall of Fame in 2019, Orbaker led the Hawks to over 450 wins and was named Section V Coach of the Year 10 times. Over 50 of the players he coached were named to the All-Greater Rochester team and 114 players went on to play soccer at the college level. “For 33 years, the Holley boys soccer team filled these bleachers with hundreds of fans,” said Orbaker’s wife, Darlene Orbaker, when she spoke at the ceremony. “Game nights were when many in Holley and neighboring towns would plan to meet up, have a chicken sandwich, maybe some of the Sport Boosters famous hand cut fries, and a hot apple cider while they anxiously awaited...the BELLS. Those bells are symbolic of many things beyond winning, they symbolize brotherhood and legacy. A brotherhood and legacy of a time Dan bonded with hundreds of players over the love of the game of soccer.” Adding to the excitement, the Holley varsity boys soccer team tied RoyHart 3-3 on Saturday evening after going into double overtime. Playing in goal for the hawks is senior Cavan Bennage, son of 1990 team member and inductee Mike Bennage.

Westside News East and West Editions - October 15, 2023 11

Six local soccer teams state-ranked heading to postseason by Warren Kozireski Soccer fans won’t have any trouble finding quality games to watch with six area teams state-ranked as of the first week of October in Spencerport, Hilton, Churchville-Chili and Byron-Bergen/Elba on the boys side with Spencerport and Byron-Bergen on the girls. The Rangers’ boys stood 12-2-2 ands ranked sixth among Class AA schools in New York State. With a six-game winning streak heading into the final week of the regular season and allowing just one goal during that streak, they seem to be peaking at the right time of year. Seniors Kyle Milburn and Justice Hinman have combined to score 18 of the team’s first

28 goals with junior Juan Green-Jordan chipping in with three goals and one assist. Senior goalkeeper Jack Distaffen has 27 saves with eight shutouts. Hilton, ranked 16th in Class AA with a 104-0 record, is paced by senior John Bianchi’s 13 goals with two assists. Classmate Ryan Masi had seven goals with fours assists while senior Maxwell Meagher and sophomore Cooper Nichols both added three goals each. Churchville-Chili suffered a tough 1-0 loss to Spencerport in early October but was tied for 20th in Class AA with a 9-3-1 record. The seniors are leading the way with Andrew Berardicotti accounting for seven goals and three assists, Elijah Bailey four goals, Camden Bean three goals and Aidan Ozkaynak

added two goals and four assists. In Class C, Byron-Bergen/Elba carried a 12-2-1 record and 13th state ranking. Junior Jack Farmer is eighth in the entire section with 20 goals and added five assists. Senior Colin Martin stood fifth in the section with 53 points on 19 goals and 15 assists while senior Braedyn Chambry provided depth scoring with eight goals and nine assists. On the girls side, seven-time defending Section V titlist Spencerport continues to dominate with a 14-0-0 record and having allowed just two goals all season heading into the final week. They are ranked second among Class AA programs and have eight players who have scored three or more goals. Junior Lindsay Lenhard led the Rangers

with 13 goals and 15 assists with sophomore Emily Peacock netting eight goals and senior Emma Watson with sophomore Liana Tata each chipping in seven. And the high-octane offense of Byron-Bergen has them ranked seventh among Class B schools with an 11-2-0 record. Sophomore Mia Gray continues to put up large offensive numbers with 20 goals and 18 assists with seniors MacKenzie Hagen and Emma Starowitz having 22 and 19 points, respectively. Sophomore Grace DiQuattro added 10 goals with eight assists and classmate Elizabeth Starowitz had 15 points. Section V playoff seedings should be released during the weekend with first round beginning early this coming week.

Goosebumps musical at OFC OFC Creations Theatre Center presents the regional premier of Goosebumps: Phantom of the Auditorium The Musical October 20 through 22. Prepare to get goosebumps as Brooke, Zeke and Brian race to solve the mystery in this thrilling – and chilling – new musical, based on the classic series by R.L. Stine. The family-friendly show stars an adult cast of performers, directed by Kaitlyn Baldwin. Brooke and Zeke are thrilled to be starring in a mysterious show called “The Phantom,” and not the least bit frightened by the old legend that the play is cursed. But when strange, spooky messages start appearing, and a masked menace starts disrupting rehearsals, they begin to wonder: what if there really is a ghost haunting their school, determined to stop the show? Performances will be October 20 at 7 p.m., October 21 and 2 and 7 p.m., and October 22 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $16 per child and $27 per adult for

regular seating, and $20 per child and $32 per adult for priority seating. Tickets are available online at OFCCreations.com/tickets, or by calling 585-667-0954.

politically speaking Write-in Candidate for Chili Town Board

Linda Schmalfuss

As a fellow resident, I care about our community and the needs of our residents! Two current Town Board members are on the ballot for re-election and have been in office for an average of 14 years! It’s time for a new voice, new ideas, and a new perspective. As an independent thinker, I am not influenced by any political party or special interest agendas. My perspective will embrace the ideas and concerns of Chili residents, as well as incorporate my life experiences. I promise to be approachable, sensible, respectful, and thoughtful by example. I will be transparent in my discussions and decisions as your board member. I aim to encourage open communication between the Town Board and residents. I will strive to facilitate change where needed. I recognize the importance of preserving green space in our community. I will work on solutions to address commercial and multi-residential developments that may encroach on our green space. I will work towards balanced appropriate zoning within our commu-

nity. My focus will be to create opportunities for affordable single-family home development rather than high-density, multi-family complexes. I want young families to build their lives in Chili – just like my husband and I have. With your help at the November 7 election, I would like to make a difference for you and for the future of our Town. I am committed to a new path as an independent voice with your support, partnership, prayers, and vote on November 7, 2023, and as a Write-in for the Chili Town Board Council position. We can make this happen! For more information, visit Facebook: Linda Schmalfuss Campaign and my website: schmalfussforchilicouncil.com. Linda Schmalfuss Write-in Candidate for Chili Town Board

Spencerport FD and State Farm® remind residents of cooking safety

State Farm teamed up with the Spencerport Fire Department and the National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®) to promote this year’s Fire Prevention Week™ campaign, “Cooking Safety Starts with YOU. Pay Attention to Fire Prevention.” The campaign works to educate families about simple but important steps they can take to keep themselves and others safe. “Cooking fires are the leading cause of U.S. home fires and home fire injuries,” said Lorraine Carli, NFPA VP of Outreach and Advocacy. “This year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign works to highlight when and where cooking fires happen most often, along with simple ways to minimize those risks.” Spencerport Fire Department and local State Farm Agent Dominic Agostini encourage all residents to cook with caution. In support of those efforts, Agostini recently donated a Fire Prevention Week kit to the fire department, which includes home fire safety and prevention activities and information for children and adults. “State Farm encourages homeowners to make fire prevention an important part of their overall home safety plan,” said Agostini. “Fire Prevention Week reminds us that cooking with caution should be at the top of the list. This also is a good time to check your smoke alarms to ensure they are functioning.” Agostini shares the following cooking safety tips through this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign: •Turn pot handles toward the back of the stove to prevent spills and burns. •Always keep a lid nearby when cooking on the stove. If a small fire starts, slide the lid over the pan and turn off the burner. •Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, boiling, grilling, or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove.

State Farm Agent Dominic Agostini and Assistant Chief Thomas Meier. •If you are simmering, baking, or roasting food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you are cooking. •Keep kids and pets three feet from the stove/oven and where hot foods and liquids are being served. •Watch what you heat. Set a timer to remind you that you are cooking. •Keep anything that can catch fire – oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging, towels or curtains – away from your stovetop. •Be alert. If you are tired or have consumed alcohol, don’t use the stove/oven. For more information about Fire Prevention Week and this year’s theme, “Cooking Safety Starts with YOU. Pay Attention to Fire Prevention,” visit www. fpw.org. Provided information and photo

Members Jim Ehrmentraut, Nancy Neidrauer, Joe DeLeo and Doug Eisele took to their toolboxes to finish the project in just three days while the weather was favorable.

Leave the leaves! by Deb Roberts, Master Gardener

REMEMBER how important it is to

The trees are turning beautiful colors… and the leaves are falling onto everything! Before you just blow or rake those leaves into bags or to the street, STOP! There is an alternative that will improve the environment, save you money, beautify your yard, and save pollinators and other important creatures, LEAVE THE LEAVES! According to US EPA reports, we have 40 million acres of lawn in the United States making it the number one crop. The US EPA estimates that leaves and other yard debris make up 13% of our solid waste that goes to landfills. By keeping our leaves, we are reducing the solid waste in landfills and the methane they create. Think of it as recycling in place. Now, leaving the leaves doesn’t mean you have to just leave them where they lay, though you could, but they may not be in the best location to provide all these benefits. The optimal action you can take is to rake your leaves into garden beds or other plantings as mulch, up to about six inches deep. Over time, the leaf mulch breaks down into the perfect fertilizer. Also, you can rake them into deeper circle-piles around established trees as mulch. The mulch helps to retain moisture and to reduce run-off from sudden rains. If you have extra leaves from sidewalks or driveways, leaves can be composted in a bin or pile in a corner of your yard. A light layer of leaves can be left on grass where it will break down into fertilizer as well. All of which saves you money next year on buying mulch and fertilizers, plus it beautifies your yard - two for one. There are exceptions, however. Black Walnut leaves

and Pine Needles can inhibit desired plant growth and alter soil chemistry, so those are best kept out of your garden beds. You may have mowed the leaves laying on the lawn in the past, which is another alternative, however leaves are a vital wildlife habitat providing food, shelter, and nests for many species. Toads, turtles, birds, butterflies in their various stages, fireflies, and bumblebees are among them. Most butterflies and moths do not migrate like the Monarch; most of them live their entire life cycle in a yard. By leaving a layer of leaves around trees, it creates a “soft landing” for insects that drop from the tree to the ground where they overwinter. Swallowtail butterflies and Luna moths use leaves to attach their cocoons. Wooly bear caterpillars, which will become Isabella Tiger Moths next spring, overwinter best underneath a pile of leaves. Firefly larvae and Bumblebee queens overwinter a couple of inches under the surface of the soil and need the leaves as insulation to survive. The larvae and insects that overwinter may even become food for baby birds next spring. If you have the space, a brush shelter with some fallen branches and a pile of leaves is a great space for insect eating animals like salamanders, toads, box turtles, and chipmunks to overwinter. So when it’s time to rake your lawn, be a hero to wildlife and the environment by keeping leaves away from curbside pickup - Leave the Leaves. For more information about Leaving the Leaves, check out National Wildlife Foundation, Xerces.org, and Cooperative Extension. Provided information
