This commemorates Jensen’s third initiative in honoring the local heroes who sacrificed their lives. The first initiative involved dedicating a stretch of State Route 259 in the town of Parma, extending from Lake Ontario State Parkway to Dunbar Road, as the Specialist Jason Hasenauer Memorial High-

way (A8535A). The second initiative was the Firefighter Robert Fowler Memorial Highway bill (A8534), which designated a section of South Union Street in the village of Spencerport between Lyell Avenue and Nichols Street.

Rochester area bands together to save more women from heart disease and stroke Nearly 240 people decked out from head to toe in red gathered December 7 at Monroe Golf Club for Rochester’s annual Go Red for Women Luncheon to raise awareness and help fund the fight against heart disease and stroke, which claim the lives of more women than all forms of cancer combined. The event raised nearly $130,000 “The Go Red for Women Luncheon is not just about wearing red. This is about all of us standing together and doing something to fight our No. 1 killer, which claims the lives of one in every three women. Losing even one woman to this largely preventable and treatable disease is too many,” said Karen Keady, vice president and chief nursing executive at UR Medicine and chairwoman of Rochester Go Red for Women.

With a theme of Be the Beat, this year’s luncheon featured tools and information to help the Rochester community improve training and bystander CPR rates for women, who are still less likely to receive bystander CPR than men.

The American Heart Association notes nearly three out of every four cardiac arrests happen in homes and is calling for at least one person in every household to learn Hands-Only CPR. The two simple steps of Hands-Only CPR are to call 911 and to push hard and fast in the center of the chest until help arrives.

Women are less likely to receive bystander CPR partly because people fear accusations of inappropriate touching, sexual assault or injuring the person. By equipping people with Hands-Only CPR training, they learn how simple the technique is and gain confidence that will help them act quickly in an emergency.

The Spencerport Kiwanis Club donated 50 gift bags, each containing a Ranger beanie, pencil, and small notepad to be distributed through Spencerport school counselors. Superintendent Ty Zinkiewich said, “We’re lucky to have supportive partners like the Kiwanis Club to help our students here in Spencerport.

They’re selfless in their actions and we appreciate their willingness to lend a helping hand.” Photo by @SpencerportCSD on X.

Sudden cardiac arrest survivor Lynda Marino shared her story. Her heart stopped while driving eight years ago. She shared that because strangers took action to save her life, she’s still able to share her story.

Since 2004, the American Heart Association, devoted to a world of healthier lives for all, has engaged more than two million women to learn their risk of heart disease and stroke, and take powerful steps to take charge of their health through its Go Red for Women movement.

While advocacy and educational campaigns focused on heart disease have made great strides in improving knowledge and attitudes among women, health disparities still exist among and between women.

Go Red for Women is nationally sponsored by CVS Health and the Rochester Go Red for Women Luncheon is locally sponsored by UR Medicine, Country 100.5 and News 10 NBC. For more information, visit http://RochesterGoRed.heart.org.

Community gathers to celebrate “Sergeant Gary Beikirch Memorial Highway” On Tuesday, December 12, Assemblyman Josh Jensen (R,C-Greece) held a ceremony to celebrate the completed road sign installation in honor of Medal of Honor recipient Sgt. Gary Beikirch, of Greece, with his family, friends, church members and community residents. Jensen introduced a bill, along with Senator Jeremy Cooney, to recognize State Route 18 (Latta Road) between Long Pond Road and State Route 390 as the “Sergeant Gary Beikirch Memorial Highway” (A.10110/S.9028).

The ceremony was held to celebrate the installation of the road signs in Sgt. Beikirch’s honor and recognize the lasting impact he had on his community.

“Sgt. Gary Beikirch is a true American hero whose valor and bravery in battle earned him the Medal of Honor, yet his service to others continued as he dedicated his life to giving back to the community he loved. Memorializing a portion of Latta Road, in the heart of the Town of Greece where he called home, is a testament to the lifelong impact he made on countless members of our community,” said Jensen.

“Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebration of Sgt. Beikirch and the positive legacy he left behind.”

“It was an honor to be a part of dedicating the Sergeant Gary Beikirch Memorial Highway. Given his years of service, and countless lives touched, it is only fitting that a portion of Route 18 be named in

Gary’s honor and I am proud to have sponsored that legislation. Through this small gesture of gratitude, Gary’s memory will be kept alive and he will continue to inspire the next generation,” said Senator Jeremy Cooney.

“On behalf of my mother and the entire Beikirch family, I would like to thank State Sen. Jeremy Cooney and Assemblyman Josh Jensen for all their work that went into sponsoring this and Gov. Kathy Hochul for signing it into legislation. From the moment Josh told us about this highway being named for my father I knew it would be both special and personal because of the close proximity to our family home and the Greece school where he touched students’ lives as a counselor. My father’s entire life was one of integrity, sacrifice and honor, not to himself but to the Glory of God and of His love and faithfulness. Many say, when you met my father you felt God and because of that there is no remembrance of him or seeing his name that people don’t feel that inside. Now, driving down Latta Road and seeing the name Sergeant Gary Beikirch will continue to be a source of peace and comfort for all that knew him. My prayer for future generations and those that didn’t have the privilege of knowing him is that seeing these signs raises a curiosity to find out who this man was and what he lived for, and in that my father’s legacy of living a life of significance will live on,” said Stephanie Beikirch, daughter.

We are pleased that we can complete all of these improvements with no impact on local taxes.”

For more information on the project, visit the Brockport Central School District website at https://www.bcs1. org/Page/1255.

Kendall Central School District residents approved the proposed $12.68 million Kendall Capital Improvement Project by a vote of 102 to 41.

Wegmans Check Out Hunger campaign raises $687K for Foodlink Greater Rochester-area shoppers showed up in a big way at Wegmans this fall, helping to raise $686,667 for the annual Check Out Hunger campaign to benefit Foodlink.

Foodlink and Wegmans celebrated the 30th anniversary of this critical fundraiser, which supports Foodlink’s food-banking operations and many of its innovative programs and services.

During six weeks this fall, shoppers had the option of donating a set amount or rounding up their grocery bills as they went through the checkout line at their local store.

The campaign has donated more than $15 million to Foodlink’s operations for the past three decades.

Although the campaign started in Rochester, as Wegmans has grown it has expanded the fundraiser into a companywide initiative to benefit 48 food banks throughout the Feeding America network.

“It was clear from the start of this year’s Check Out Hunger campaign that the entire Wegmans team devoted significant time and energy to making this 30th anniversary a special one,” said Julia Tedesco, President & CEO of Foodlink. “The results are incredible, the effort by Wegmans team members was unmatched, and we are deeply grateful to all of the shoppers who donated in support of our mission to end hunger and build healthier communities.”

All 21 participating stores in the

Rochester area brainstormed new and exciting ways to promote the pointof-sale campaign and fundraise, such as employee and customer contests, “Hots & Pops” events and more. Three local stores were recognized for going above and beyond, including the Mt. Read store that more than doubled its total compared to last year. The Latta Road and Ridge Culver stores also earned recognition for their impressive totals, which contributed to an increase of more than $100,000 over the grand total from the prior year.

“Over the last 30 years, our Greater Rochester-area customers have been incredibly generous, donating without hesitation, and this year was no different,” said Lindsay Reap, Wegmans district manager, Rochester division.

“We can’t thank our amazing customers and employees enough for their ongoing support and commitment to making a difference together.”

Foodlink addresses both the symptoms and root causes of food insecurity throughout its 10-county service area.

According to Feeding America data from 2021, approximately 120,000 people in the region experience food insecurity – defined as a household’s limited or uncertain access to enough healthy food. According to multiple reports, food insecurity increased in 2022 due to the impact of inflation and expiration of many COVID-era federal benefits programs.

In a ceremony held the evening of November 30 at Hilton High School auditorium, 21 students were inducted into the Hispanic Honor Society and French Honor Society. “Our goal in creating a Hilton chapter of these honor societies was to recognize this prestigious group of students who has shown a deep interest in other languages and cultures,” said Michele Ariola, Hispanic Honor Society advisor.

To qualify, students must maintain an 88 percent average or higher in their high school language courses and complete an application that includes a personal statement addressing why they wish to be considered for admission, as well as their thoughts about the importance of knowing another language and understanding other cultures.

The Hispanic Honor Society was founded by the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese in 1953, for the students of North American secondary schools. The society’s motto is “Todos a Una” which means “All together or “All as one.”

The French Honor Society was founded by the American Association of the Teachers of French in 1949. The society’s motto is “L’homme qui sait deux langues en vaut deux” which means, “Someone who knows two languages is worth two people.”

Principal Dr. Jeffrey Green called the inductees’ names and they lit candles one by one before reciting the oaths of the Hispanic and French Honor Societies. The candles represent the promise to use French and Spanish to promote international friendship, service and unity within the school and community; and symbolize the efforts to better oneself, one’s school and one’s community.

“As an International Baccalaureate school and district, we embrace the opportunity to be global minded in our studies and in our appreciation of others,” said Green.

Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease: How to protect your pup

Commonly Asked Questions:

(courtesy of Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine)

Q: Should I get my dog tested?

A: Because there is no specific cause that has been identified except for commonly known pathogens isolated from chronic cases, more samples from acute cases are ideal for laboratories to determine the primary cause. The Cornell AHDC is working to assist veterinarians with testing options. If you are concerned for your pet, we recommend contacting your local veterinarian, or sharing this information with them.

Q: Where does the research stand, and how much do we know?

A: The New Hampshire Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (NHVDL) and the Hubbard Center for Genome Studies (HCGS) at the University of New Hampshire have preliminary findings in the diagnostic investigation regarding the recent atypical respiratory syndrome in dogs. Preliminary findings suggest the potential involvement of a non-culturable bacterium, tentatively named IOLA KY405, similar to a pathogen associated with respiratory disease in humans in 2021. While there is no evidence of zoonotic transmission, further studies are ongoing, emphasizing the importance of public health awareness and limiting dog-to-dog contact as a preventive measure.

A: For pet owners, if your dog shows signs of a respiratory illness such as coughing, sneezing, labored breathing, or other symptoms mentioned, it’s crucial to contact your veterinarian promptly. While the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine is investigating canine acute respiratory syndrome, this research does not cover the treatment of sick dogs. Stay informed through reliable sources, follow precautions, and seek veterinary advice if your dog displays any concerning symptoms.

A: Regarding the presence of canine respiratory disease in New York State, no official reports have been made, although some dog daycares have observed symptoms suggestive of cases. While these symptoms may align with typical Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex (CIRDC) infections or localized outbreaks, it’s essential to note that without formal testing and a comprehensive understanding of individual cases or groups, confirming the existence of canine respiratory disease across multiple locations is challenging. It’s worth mentioning that there isn’t a centralized reporting system, and some veterinarians may not self-report, making it difficult to provide a conclusive assessment of the situation.

As the holiday season approaches, some dog parents are on edge as a potentially new canine respiratory disease has been affecting many states throughout the U.S. Since early summer, veterinarians across the country are noticing an uptick of respiratory illnesses in dogs. According to Assistant Professor of Veterinary Science at Cornell University, Patrick Carney, there have been two separate syndromes affecting dogs that may or may not be related. “The first is just a cough that lasts longer than we typically expect it to,” said Carney. “Then the second is severe pneumonia that often starts by a cough and then progresses to pneumonia. Some of the illnesses last a long time and some progress very very quickly.”

The Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine is investigating the canine respiratory syndrome that has been spreading across the country. According to Cornell, “Veterinarians across the country are reporting an increased incidence of cases of canine respiratory disease that do not respond to the regular treatment protocols. Affected dogs experience a longer and more severe disease course than what is typical for canine infectious respiratory disease (CIRD) complex. The common pathogen has not yet been discovered.”

According to Dr. Ann Hohenhaus, Director of Pet Health Information at the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center in New York City, “There are many known viruses and bacterium that can cause canine infectious respiratory diseases. The concern of some veterinary professionals is that no known organism was detected in fifty percent of the sick dogs that were tested. Thirty percent were detected as having more than one organism isolated, making this a very complex disease.”

Currently, there is no evidence that this respiratory disease is zoonotic or capable of spreading to other species of animals or humans. Canine respiratory diseases commonly spread through direct contact, from dog to dog, through water droplets from sneezing and coughing, or via fomites (contaminated objects and surfaces). Cornell recommends that concerned dog parents avoid high-risk situations for their dog, such as boarding kennels, dog parks, and doggy day care facilities and places when they are unsure about the health status of other dogs in those environments. As a precaution, it is also recommended that dog parents don’t share dog bowls, toys, or doggy chews between dogs outside of the household. Make sure your dog is up to date on their routine vaccinations. Check with your veterinarian if you have concerns and are unsure of when your dog was last routinely vaccinated.

Through a rapid response research project funded by the Riney Canine Health Center, the project is based at the Cornell Animal Health Diagnostic Center. This grant supports diagnostic testing on a limited number of acute cases but does not support the treatment of sick dogs. Please contact your local veterinarian when your dog is sick. Below you will find some commonly asked questions that have been provided as a courtesy from Cornell University

FASNY highlights how fast ‘decking the halls’ can turn into a devastating fire Although Christmas tree fires may not be common, when they do occur, they are more likely to be extremely serious and cause a lot of damage. Fires involving fresh Christmas trees tend to be more common than artificial tree fires. That’s in part because fresh Christmas trees dry out over time, making them more flammable the longer they’re in the home; a dried-out Christmas tree will burn much more quickly than a well-watered one.

Fire departments responded to an annual average of 160 home structure fires caused

by Christmas trees between 2016 and 2020, resulting in

two civilian deaths, 11 civilian injuries, and $12 million in direct property damage.

With New York State leading the nation in home fire deaths at 142 deaths in 2023, according to the U.S. Fire Administration, the Firefighters Association of the State of New York (FASNY) urges residents to stay vigilant and hydrate all natural Christmas trees. Also to take the extra steps needed when decorating and properly using seasonal and holiday candles, decorative lighting and electric cords to ensure your ‘winter wonderland’ doesn’t turn into a devastating house fire.

“As we enjoy the Holiday Season, FASNY urges all New Yorkers to take the extra steps when decorating to ensure their homes, offices, schools, and other gathering spaces are safe and free of preventable fire hazards,” said Edward Tase Jr., President, Firefighters Association of the State of New York.

“Carefully decorating your home can help make your holidays safer and merrier,” said President Tase. FASNY recommends the following tips: •For a fresh tree, cut two inches from the base of the trunk before placing it in the stand. Add water daily to keep the tree well hydrated.

•Trees should be placed at least three feet away from any heat source, such as fireplaces, radiators, candles, heat vents, or lights.

•Make sure the tree is not blocking an exit, such as a door or window.

•Ensure that decorative lights are in good working order and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Also, the latest statistics from NFPA on Christmas tree fires in US homes include these key findings, reflecting annual averages between 2016 and 2020: •Christmas tree fires are more common between 3 p.m. and midnight, accounting for one-half of associated fires. Another 26 percent of fires occurred between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.

•Approximately two of every five home Christmas tree fires started in the living room, family room, or den.

•Electrical failures or malfunctions were factors in more than one-third (34 percent) of Christmas tree fires.

•In one-fifth (20 percent) of Christmas tree fires, some type of heat source was placed too close to the tree.

Madelynn Pimm, this year’s winner, embodies the spirit of the award through her continuous commitment to learning and her passion for building connections within the agricultural community.

Her enthusiasm for showing beef and swine extends beyond the arena, fostering new relationships and connections.

Madelynn’s accomplishments include winning the title of Grand Champion 4-H Hog Showman at the Genesee County Fair last year. At this year’s fair, she further showcased her expertise by winning her 4-H Beef Showmanship class, highlighting her consistent dedication to excellence. Her achievements are not only a testament to her hard work but also an inspiration to fellow 4-H members aspiring to excel in livestock projects.

In her own words, Madelynn expresses her favorite aspect of participating in livestock projects: “I love constantly learning and making new connections. Meeting new people and connecting with them over agriculture is what makes these experiences so meaningful.”

Kendall girls basketball undefeated through first six games

by Warren Kozireski With a brand-new head coach and starting only one senior, Kendall became the first team in Section V to win six games this season.

Lucian Price came to the program as head coach after 16 years in Albion and is getting contributions from virtually the entire team as they average 41 points per game on offense while allowing only 25 points per game.

The Eagles can attack the basket in multiple ways with senior Danielle Offhaus and junior Ava LeMay inside, along with the outside shooting from sophomore point guard Brooke Rodas, freshman Addison Kludt, plus sophomores Alea Barrett and Stella Kwiatek.

“I think we’re working a lot more as a team,” Offhaus said. “Our new coach really knows how to handle us and knows how to bring us all together; he’s forced a lot of energy on us, and it’s just been a great environment.

“We’re strong both in and out and we’re well-rounded this year – it’s been great.”

“We work together, and we hype each other up; we bring each other up if someone’s down,” LeMay added.

Kendall finished 3-8 in the shortened 202122 season and 6-14 last year before falling in the first round of the Section V playoffs as the tenth seed. Not a single Eagle was listed this

season as a Player to Watch on the All-Greater Rochester preseason list.

But that has not deterred this group. The Eagles have the player skill set to push the ball up the court with speed offensively and then trap press defensively. Evidence was their win over Holley December 12 with six different players scoring points and multiple players hauling down rebounds and getting steals.

“I think the key for these kids is just being able to have that energy and effort every single game,” Price said. “They’re very athletic and they’re smart kids, they just have to play with confidence.

“The inside-outside is good because I think they feed off of each other. The guards do a good job of looking for the post, and the post do a good job of kicking it back out if that’s what’s available.

“It’s tough getting used to someone new.

The first couple of weeks were kind of hard for them getting used to having someone new there, and kids are kids and will hesitate to trust you, and I think it’s starting to build now...and I’m excited for them to play the teams that are known for being some of the better teams in the league.

“So far, my favorite part of this group is how they seem to get along and that’s they’re just

The Kendall Eagles girls basketball team is off to a strong start this season. Provided photo. unselfish and they’re trying to complement each other.”

Kendall girls basketball has never won a Section V title, but have won seven Genesee Region league titles in history with the last coming in 2004-05.

But their 6-0 start has them at least dreaming big.

“It’s my last year and I’m one of the only seniors…to stick it out, and I really want that before I leave and I want to see them (her teammates) get there,” Offhaus stated.

Pole vaulters set stage at Nazareth Alumni Classic; King breaks own record One week after her first record-breaking performance, pole vaulter Brynn King again set a new mark for NCAA Division II and the Roberts Wesleyan track and field program.

King won the event at the Nazareth Alumni Classic with a clearance of 4.42 meters (14feet 6-inches) to beat out her height from last week by half an inch.

Joining King in an outstanding pole vault performance was Melia Couchman. The freshman hit the NCAA provisional standard by clearing 3.75 meters (12 feet 3-1/2 inches).

Couchman is now third all time in Roberts history behind King and Jenn Suhr.

On the track, Hailee Lowe was a secondplace finisher in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 9.38.

Demar Osbourne was the highest finisher for the men’s team taking third place in the shot put. The junior had a toss of 13.88-meters (45-feet 6-1/2-inches).

Pole vaulter Brynn King broke her own record for Roberts and NCAA Division II. The Redhawks will be on a break until January 20 when the team travels down the road to the Brockport Invitational.

Older adults can enroll to receive personalized community outreach Over 63,000 older New Yorkers in 19 counties – including Monroe and Genesee – are enrolled in a program to receive instantaneous communications from local offices for the aging about weather events, program benefit application deadlines, event reminders, surveys, and other important notifications thanks to a partnership between the New York State Office for the Aging (NYSOFA), the Association on Aging in New York (AgingNY), and Blooming Health.

The partnership began in September 2022 and is now being extended through September 2024 so that additional counties can opt-in and scale up their community outreach capabilities for benefit programs like the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), as well as time-sensitive information like weather or scheduling updates.

NYSOFA Director Greg Olsen said, “NYSOFA is pleased to continue our partnership with Blooming Health and help local offices for the aging in their efforts to scale up community engagement efforts in ways that reflect the diversity of available communications methods and preferences.

Thanks to this partnership, agencies can help even more individuals who may not have realized they were eligible for – or needed to renew – benefits that can help them pay for food or lower their out-of-pocket costs. Older adults are also able to receive broadcasts to help them prepare for extreme

weather events or simply learn about an upcoming program that can keep them engaged in their communities through health and wellness or social opportunities. We are thrilled about the outcomes – including a 300 percent increase in social engagement and a 500 percent increase in access to SNAP benefits.”

Blooming Health is designed to improve older adults’ awareness and connection to community-based aging services via an inclusive, digital engagement platform. Targeted communications are sent via text message, landline voice calls, emails, and in an older adult’s preferred language (including English and over 69 non-English options).

So far, older adults have received over 600,000 messages from Area Agencies on Aging notifying them with: •Emergency weather alerts and broadcasts for community nutrition programs.

•Event reminders for evidence-based programs, nutrition education, vaccination clinics, and wellness programs.

•Surveys to assess client satisfaction with personal care aides, home-delivered meals, and other programs.

•Wellness check-ins to identify clients’ social and health needs, and navigate them to relevant support services.

•Reminders to test devices such as personal emergency response systems.

•Application reminders for programs like HEAP or SNAP to ensure that individuals get timely access to important benefits.

Clients do not need broadband internet or a smart device to receive these communications. Providers can also receive longitudinal data on clients’ needs and outcomes, coordinate care, and better manage their population’s health risks. In addition, agencies have been more easily able to screen clients for social determinants of health, such as food insecurity, financial insecurity, and transportation needs to provide them with appropriate support.

For its existing clients, Blooming Health has contributed to a three-fold increase in older adult engagement with provider services while saving two hours per day in outreach capacity for program staff and garnering an 85 percent satisfaction rate for older adult end-users.

Counties interested in learning more about this partnership can visit www.gobloominghealth.com or reach out at team@gobloominghealth.com.

Older adults who live in participating counties can enroll to receive these personalized communications by contacting their local office for the aging. To reach your county agency, please see the directory on NYSOFA’s website, https://aging. ny.gov/local-offices.

politically speaking Hawley announces governor’s plan to invest in Genesee County water supply Assemblyman Steve Hawley (R,CBatavia) recently announced the governor’s plan to work with the Monroe County Water Authority to provide water to several municipalities. Genesee County is receiving $30 million in Bond Act funding as the third phase of the drinking water supply project. This initiative will aim to upgrade the infrastructure in the region and help to improve the systems throughout the community.

This announcement comes as Genesee County is experiencing one of the most intense droughts the region has seen in recent history. Hawley is pleased to see this investment by the

state government in the district and hopes these improvements will help the people of western New York during these hard times.

“I’m proud to see the state government step up and do its part to help the people of Western New York,” said Hawley. “Right now, Genessee County is going through one of the most intense droughts we have seen in our lifetime and this investment will go a long way to help residents bounce back. I hope our leadership will continue to provide the support needed for our district as we navigate through these difficult times.”
