B-B valedictorian signs to run track for SJF

The Byron-Bergen Class of 2024 valedictorian Victoria Rogoyski has signed to continue her track & field career at the collegiate level with Saint John Fisher University. During her high school career, Rogoyski boasted an impressive 17’ 10-3/4” in the long jump, 5’ 00” in the high jump, 16.66 seconds in the 100m hurdles, and 2734 in the pentathlon. At Fisher, she plans to study biology, chemistry, and pharmaceutical science.

“Victoria epitomizes what it means to be a stu-

dent-athlete,” said Byron-Bergen Athletic Director Rich Hannan. “She is driven in everything she does, and it shows. She is graduating at the top of her class and is one of the best athletes in her grade and that all comes from hard work and determination. We are all so proud of her!”

In addition to being captain of the outdoor track & field, she was captain of the varsity soccer and basketball teams. She also participated in varsity gymnastics, swimming, and indoor track. Outside of sports, she is treasurer of the senior class, Varsity Club, and National Honor Society.

“I would like to thank my parents, who have been my support system throughout high school and sports, my siblings for their hard work and persistence in their own sports that inspires me to never give up while also being the loudest cheering section ever. I want to thank my coaches in all of my sports, I couldn’t have done any of this without them and I am entirely grateful for their help. Finally, I want to thank my teachers, for teaching me knowledge and inspiring me to continue my education elsewhere. Oh yeah, and the best teammates on the planet need a special shoutout!”

Brockport’s Andy Parrino to be inducted into Section V Baseball Hall of Fame

Brockport High School graduate Andy Parrino will be inducted into the Section V Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday, June 30, at 11:30 a.m. during a pre-game ceremony at Innovation Field (formerly Frontier Field).

Andy, the son of Tony and Sue Parrino, was raised with his siblings, Nathan and Allyn, in Brockport. Andy’s passion and natural talent for baseball began when he was just three years old. His love for the sport and his skills continued growing thanks to the support and encouragement of his family and coaches. Andy continued playing baseball through his adolescent years, into high school and college and eventually played professionally in Major League Baseball.

He began playing varsity baseball as an eighth grader in Brockport as an infielder. He was a member of the Section V Championship Team in 2003 and 2004, named the Section V Tournament MVP in 2004, Monroe County Player of the Year 2003 and 2004, and received All-County Honors from 2002 through 2004.

After graduating from Brockport High School in 2004, Andy went on to Le Moyne College in Syracuse, where his baseball career began to really take off. He was selected to the 2007 Louisville Slugger

All-American Third Team. Le Moyne took first place in the 2007 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Tournament, and Andy was named the MAAC 2007 Baseball Player of the Year.

He was drafted by the San Diego Padres in the 26th round of the 2007 draft, only the second position player to make it to

MLB from Le Moyne College. Parrino became the first non-pitcher from the Rochester area to play in MLB since 1964 (Ken O’Dea of Lima). He was also the first Section V player to play Major League Baseball in over 80 years.

The launch of his professional baseball career took him from snowy upstate NY to sunny San Diego, California. He played for several minor league teams affiliated with the Padres franchise before being called up from AA San Antonio to make his Major League debut with the Padres in 2011.

In addition to the Padres, Parrino played for the Oakland Athletics, Texas Rangers, and Chicago White Sox organizations during his career and for Team USA in the 2015 Pan American games.

After an injury leading to Tommy John surgery, Parrino retired from baseball in 2016. Andy lives in San Diego with his wife, Alexis, whom he met at a promotional event while he was playing for the Padres. She was a San Diego Charger Cheerleader and professional dancer. They have four children: sons Christian (CT) and Cashton (Cash), and daughters Eastyn and Halston. Parrino’s children are also very active with sports, and his youngest daughter, Halston, has just begun dancing.

Parrino and his family will return to Brockport at the end of June for his induction into the Section V Baseball Hall of Fame. He will be one of six Section V athletes inducted into the Hall of Fame that day.

As Parrino reflects on his lifelong experiences that led him to this honor, he credits his amazing coaches along the way, especially Brockport High School Coach Brian Jones, Coach T and Mrs. T (Tillinghaust) of The Battery, Dan Fichter of Wanna Get Fast, and his college coach Steve Owens.

“I am especially thankful to my parents for the strong work ethic they instilled in me, as I hope to instill this type of work ethic into my own children. My parents made so many sacrifices for me. My mom worked full-time and made sure she was at all my games. My dad worked overnights as a police officer, and with only a few hours of sleep, he would always get up and take me to my practices,” said Parrino.

The induction ceremony on June 30 at Innovation Field begins at 11:30 a.m. For more information on this event or for tickets, contact Billy Bowe of Section V Baseball at coachbowe@rochester.rr.com.

Rochester Heart Walk & Run is saving lives with every step

Walkers from across the Greater Rochester area gathered at the Rochester Heart Walk & Run on Thursday, June 6, to boost physical and mental health while supporting a lifesaving mission.

The Heart Walk & Run drew a crowd of more than 1,500 walkers and runners at Monroe Community College. In addition to the walk, activities included CPR demonstrations, heart-health information, activities for kids, celebrations of heart disease and stroke survivors, and entertainment.

Participants helped raise nearly $400,000 so far at the Rochester Heart Walk & Run. Efforts are not done. Walkers can turn in donations until June 30 at www.RochesterHeartWalk. org.

“Every walker who joins and every dollar that is donated, means more lives saved,” said Dr. Scott Feitell,

Rochester Heart Walk & Run chairperson and director of heart failure at the Sands Constellation Heart Institute at Rochester Regional Health. “They mean more research. More people trained in CPR. More medical breakthroughs. And more lifesaving moments for hearts big and small.”

This year also marks the 100th birthday of the American Heart Association. For 100 years the Association has saved and improved lives, pioneered scientific discovery and advocated for healthy communities.

The funds raised from the Rochester Heart Walk & Run go towards research, advocacy, CPR training and to promote better health in support of the Association’s 2024 Health Equity Impact Goal, reducing barriers to health care access and quality.

In 2011, Rychwalski was diagnosed with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy and has an implanted Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Device (a three lead pacemaker with an internal defibrillator).

Erie Canalway Bicentennial Marketing Toolkit available

The Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor has released an Erie Canalway Bicentennial Marketing Toolkit to help municipalities, nonprofits, tourism agencies, and businesses along the canals prepare for the bicentennial of the Erie Canal in 2025. Organizations are invited to sign up to receive free access to official graphics, banners, social media, and giveaways at www.eriecanalway. org/bicentennial.

The toolkit includes a new graphic mark that incorporates the canals’ blue and gold colors and lock numbers with an invitation for people to visit the many recreational, historic, and cultural treasures along the canals. New elements will be added to the toolkit in the coming months to keep content fresh.

“This is an exciting time as we prepare to commemorate the Erie Canal’s 200th birthday. Incorporating consistent graphics and messaging will bring heightened awareness, unity, and recognition for the many bicentennial activities taking place along the canals in 2025,” said Bob Radliff, Executive Director of the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor.

The Village of Hilton is seeking laborers and Motor Equipment Operators, CDL preferred but not mandatory at date of hire.

Competitive Wages and benefits. Apply in person at the Village Office, 59 Henry Street or at hiltonny.org

LegaL NoticeS

The Bicentennial Marketing Toolkit is supported by a Market New York grant awarded to the Erie Canalway Heritage Fund from Empire State Development and I LOVE NY/New York State’s Division of Tourism through the Regional Economic Development Council initiative.

Since its grand opening in 1825, the Erie Canal has been widely recognized as an engineering marvel that put New York on the map as the Empire State. It transformed New York City into the nation’s principal seaport and served as a major “Gateway to the West” for waves of immigrants coming to America. Groundbreaking inventions and social movements took place along the canals where a spirit of entrepreneurship and progressive thinking took hold.

Today, the New York State Canal System is a National Historic Landmark that offers an unparalleled place to recreate while discovering the incredible history and beauty of America’s most famous human-made waterway.

Holley HS senior helps save a life

by Christopher Martin, BFD PIO

Leigha Walker, an 18-year-old senior at Holley High School, was working at Subway on Brockport-Spencerport Road in Brockport the morning of Sunday, June 9, when she heard a loud noise outside. Looking out, she discovered a vehicle had run into their building.

Walker immediately dialed 9-1-1 and went out front with three others from the store. They noticed an 67-year-old male slumped over the wheel with locked doors. The four of them worked to break the glass and assist the male from the vehicle. He was reportedly barely breathing with a weak pulse as they lowered him to the ground.

While all this was happening, first responders had been alerted and were on their way to the scene. Walker, who had been certified in CPR just last year, jumped into action and started compressions. At about the same time, Brockport FD Deputy Chief Tim Smith pulled up in his Chief’s vehicle with a Brockport Police Officer simultaneously. They brought an AED from the Police vehicle to the patient. The AED called for two shocks to be administered, which responders did prior to Monroe Ambulance arriving on scene. According to fire department records, the first shock was administered just six minutes after firefighters and EMTs were summoned. Monroe Ambulance transported the patient to Strong Memorial Hospital with two firefighters on board assisting.

While interviewing her for this story, Leigha wanted to convey two things. One, when she took her CPR training, she never expected to have to use it, though she was glad to have the certification when

she needed it. Secondly, when she was released from her duties doing compressions, she was relieved to find she had not burned the fresh baked bread in the oven. Leigha is an honors student and three-sport varsity athlete.

The Brockport Fire District is pleased to report this as another instance of many hands and agencies coming together to contribute to the saving of a life of another. The driver of the truck was revived and is alive to spend another day with us all.

Christopher Martin, BFD PIO

The Monroe County Convention for the American Legion was held June 1 at the Harvey C. Noone Post #954 in Churchville, where the Law & Order Committee for the County presented Past Brockport Chief Allan Hoy with their Firefighter of the Year plaque for 2023. John Compitello, Commander for the Monroe County Convention, read from the nomination when he presented the plaque.

Past Chief Hoy was nominated by the American Legion Post #379 in Brockport earlier this year. Chief Hoy was accompanied by his wife, Deborah; Assistant Chief Adam Leggett; President of the Brockport Volunteer Firefighter’s Association Ron Sabernick; FF and American Legion Honor Guard member Paul Drake; and FF Matthew Delucia when he received his award.

Commander and President Jack Tangen and Adjutant Bill Fine, both from the American Legion Post #379 in Brockport, were in attendance for the presentation.

Major construction complete on $19.4 million rehab of State Route 390

Major construction has been completed on a $19.4 million project that rehabilitated 17 lane miles of pavement and upgraded six bridges along State Route 390 between Lexington Avenue and State Route 104 (Ridge Road) in the towns of Gates and Greece, enhancing travel for the nearly 80,000 motorists who utilize this corridor each day. This project, which began in April 2022, builds upon a nearly $192 million investment in recent years along the corridor, including the recently completed I-390/I-490 interchange project.

“Major travel corridors like State Route 390 are the anchors of our regional economies – spurring investment and expansion in the Finger Lakes and beyond,” Governor Kathy Hochul said. “My administration is delivering historic investments in infrastructure to ensure the long-term viability of our communities and to catalyze growth and innovation across New York State.”

Along with smoothing the pavement within the project limits, this project greatly enhanced the durability and lifespan of six bridges carrying the highway over Lexington Avenue, Weiland Road and Latona Road by:

•Installing new decks on all six bridges, while utilizing higher performance internal cure concrete on the structures, which reduces cracking and permeability, and extends the lifespan of the bridges.

•Installing epoxy coated steel reinforcement bars to prevent corrosion.

•Placing new, high-strength concrete bridge barriers that protect motorists in the event of a collision.

Additionally, this project rehabilitated the highway’s on and off ramp, curb ramps and traffic signals to bolster multi-modal safety.

The completion of this project brings the total investment along this portion of the 390 corridor within the towns of Gates and Greece to nearly $192 million in recent years, including the I-390/I490 interchange project completed in 2021 and the Route 390 Trail Extension Project completed in 2022. Additional recent investments into I-390 in the region include the $35 million project rehabilitating between Exits 10 and 12 in Monroe and Livingston Counties completed in 2022, and the ongoing $27 million project rehabilitating between Exits 8 and 10, which is slated for completion later this year.

Spencerport CSD receives rebate for electric buses

The Spencerport Central School District has been selected to receive a $400,000 rebate toward the purchase of two electric buses through the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean School Bus Rebate program. Spencerport was one of 47 communities selected across the state, and was the only local recipient.

The Clean School Bus Rebate program provides upfront payments to eligible entities to subsidize buying zero-emission or clean school buses, fund the necessary charging infrastructure, and pay for related expenses like professional training. Recipients get the money upfront to ensure a smooth purchasing process. Rebates totaling about $95.7 million

were awarded for the purchase of over 350 electric buses and five propane buses.

“Transitioning to a zero-emission school bus fleet not only represents our commitment to a greener future but shows our commitment to the health and well-being of the next generation. New York communities are benefiting from Bipartisan Infrastructure Law investments, including this substantial funding to help school districts make the switch to electric buses.

Joe’s Stories – Tree Talk

by Joe Reinschmidt

Hi, it’s me, the Tree. My scribe tells me people have been asking about me. It’s good to know that many of you have concerns about my welfare. If you’re reading this, it means we both made it through another win-

pared to some that have occurred during the 100 or so years I’ve been here. If you check on me, you’ll notice that my very top branches have leafed out quite well. So have the bottom branches, but the others are taking longer to realize it’s spring time again. I hope they join us quickly so I can show my best appearance.

Special thanks to those of you that were concerned a few months ago when some excavation equipment appeared here. I admit, I also was concerned, but as it evolved, they were only working on water main improvement along the road. So I invite you to join me in looking forward to a nice summer that we can all enjoy.

Just a reminder in case you have forgotten, I am in the middle of a field on the east side of North Union Street (Rt. 259) across from Barefoot Plaza, about a quarter-mile north of Spencerport. Give me a quick glance and greeting when you drive by.

“Tree Talk” is a series of reflections on life written by Joe Reinschmidt who gives a ‘voice’ to an old sycamore located in an open field on the east side of Route 259 north of Spencerport’s Terry Taylor Elementary School.

With bi-partisan support, the New York State Legislature passed the SAFE for Kids Act and the New York Child Data Privacy Act, legislation designed to protect children and teens on social media from addictive algorithms and exploitative data collection. The legislation now heads to Governor Kathy Hochul’s desk for signature.

The SAFE for Kids Act will require social media companies to restrict addictive feeds on their platforms for users under 18. Unless parental consent is granted, users under 18 will not receive addictive feeds. Users may still search for specific topics of interest. It will also prohibit social media platforms from sending notifications regarding addictive feeds to minors from 12 a.m. to 6 a.m. without parental consent. The legislation will authorize the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) to bring an action to enjoin violations of the new law as

well as seek civil penalties of up to $5,000 per violation, among other remedies. And finally, it calls for the establishment of acceptable age verification and parent consent methods, to be determined by the OAG as part of a rulemaking process once the legislation is enacted.

The New York Child Data Protection Act will prohibit online sites from collecting, using, sharing or selling personal data of anyone under the age of 18, unless they receive informed consent or unless doing so is strictly necessary for the purpose of the website. It also authorizes the OAG to enforce the law and enjoin and seek damages or civil penalties of up to $5,000 per violation.

“New York is sending a clear message to Big Tech: your profits are not more important than our kids’ privacy and wellbeing. As the father of two young kids, this win is personal, and I am particularly grateful to the young people,

parents, educators, and organizations from across the state who fought back against the industry’s lobbying and lies, and demanded a safer digital world,” said State Senator Andrew Gounardes who sponsored the bills.

This legislative approach, backed by Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James, does not restrict children’s access to content on social apps; it simply allows them to choose how the content they view will be delivered to them. And while there are critical First Amendment protections forbidding discrimination on the basis of viewpoint or content, this legislation regulates technology, not speech. The legislation aims to empower young people to explore, learn, and stay connected through social media on their terms, without being pushed into harmful content, and is designed to pass Supreme Court scrutiny.

“On behalf of parents across our state, we express our immense gratitude to the legislators and advocates who worked tirelessly to pass this groundbreaking legislation to protect our children from social media’s harmful algorithms and invasive data collection,” said Julianna Arnold, NY Parent and member of Parents for Safe Online Spaces. “Social media’s algorithms push harmful and often deadly content to innocent and vulnerable children and teens just like my daughtercontent promoting the use and sale of illicit and lethal drugs, self-harm, eating disorders, and suicide. This legislation is a crucial step toward safeguarding our children and giving control back to parents. Now, we urge Senator Schumer to take action on the national level and bring the Kids Online Safety Act to the Senate floor for a vote, making America a leader in protecting kids online.” Provided information

Born with hearing loss, Ryan Mort helps others hear better

by Barbara Pratt

Ryan Mort was diagnosed with hearing loss at the age of four. Doctors determined that he had been born with the condition, although his mother’s pregnancy was full term, and she never smoked or drank alcohol. “It just happened,” Ryan says. “My parents noticed the television was a little too loud, and I was asking ‘what?’ a lot. I was making up my own words to the nursery rhymes and children’s songs I would listen to.”

“He was a very healthy boy,” his mother Mary says, “reaching all of his milestones within normal limits. While at his fouryear-old checkup, he failed his hearing screening. The family was very surprised, as he never misarticulated many words, and his speech was clear from the onset. As a special education teacher, in retrospect, the only identifier that he was having hearing difficulty was that he would turn up the television. He would also perceive some (not many) words incorrectly.”

At age five, Ryan was fit with his first set of hearing aids, which he says “looked like shrimp hanging off my head. I did not want to wear them. They stood out. I got special treatment from my teacher, and I just wanted to be like all the other kids. I did not want to be known as ‘The Hearing Aid Kid.’”

Mary states, “His hearing loss did not seem to interfere with him being a typical growing boy. He did gymnastics, played soccer and basketball, and enjoyed karate. He also played the baritone in his school band. In middle school, Ryan had a 504 plan. This included him taking tests in a quiet setting and having directions read to him, if necessary.”

Ryan states that no one actually picked on him, and the other kids were more curious. “Some kids thought they were cool - like they made me some kind of robot - and in the early 1990s, robots were cool. As I got into high school, my vanity about them got the better of me. I absolutely

like to wear them. Provided photo.

would not wear them. You could not pay me to wear them!” As a result, Ryan admits he “wasn’t the best student in high school.” He graduated from Aquinas High School in 2005.

“Once I got to college, something changed. I had matured a bit and realized school was actually important. My desire to do better in college completely outweighed any vanity. In the morning, when I put my hearing aids in my ears, it was like I flipped a switch, like I was turning the machine on. I was able to hear my professors better and was more involved in classroom discussions. In my junior and senior years, I had a 3.7 GPA and made the Dean’s List. I was doing great.” Ryan graduated from MCC and then went to Johnson and Wales in Providence, Rhode Island, and graduated in 2011 with a BS in Culinary Arts/Hospitality with a focus on Wellness and Sustainability.

Later, in 2020, he changed his career path to become a Hearing Instrument Specialist. “I always felt,” he said, “that I could do more to help people than to just cook them food.” And that was just exactly what he did.

Ryan now works for Moribito Hearing Aid Center on Canal Landing Boulevard in Greece. His mother, Mary, said that Ryan met Andrew Morabito (his current employer) at age 14. “Andrew was very helpful in fitting him with new aids and was very understanding of Ryan’s needs. He remained in contact with him over the next few years and ended up supporting him in becoming a hearing aid specialist and employing him when he completed his training and certification.”

Moribito was working for an ENT when he first met Ryan and tested his hearing. “Soon after, we fitted him with his first set of CIC’s (Completely-In-The-Canal) hearing aids. I would see him over the years for checkups,” Morabito said. “I then fit him

with a new set of BTE’s (Behind-the-Ear) hearing aids at my own practice, Advanced Hearing Aid Centers, in 2013. I sold that practice and opened Morabito Hearing Aid Center.”

Morabito recalls, “One day, Ryan came in to see me for a hearing aid checkup, and at that appointment, he asked me about what it takes to become a Hearing Aid Specialist. We talked about the fact that I am a hearing aid dispenser trainer for New York State. I was ready to take on a new specialist and hired him.” Ryan underwent training and received his New York State Dispensing License in 2023.

Diminished hearing is far more than not hearing sounds and words. It is isolating and can put people at greater risk of developing mental health disorders. It can contribute to anxiety and depression. One study showed that older people with diminished hearing were 47% more likely to experience depression symptoms. Hearing is vital to one’s ability to communicate with others through language, build relationships, and enjoy life. It interferes with one’s capability to connect with others and socialize, causing social isolation and loneliness, and it can also cause disorientation and contribute to dementia. A study published in The Lancet found that hearing aids could lower the risk of dementia in half for those facing a greater threat of cognitive decline.

Helen Keller, who was both blind and deaf since she was a toddler, once said, “Blindness separates us from things; deafness separates us from people.” Ryan Mort, therefore, helps people connect, improving their quality of life.

Mary sums it up by saying, “Ryan is a very special person. He has always been very empathetic and kind-hearted. He always enjoyed helping my special education students. He was put on this earth to help others.”
