Prepare for Departure showcases what happened as the two of them faced death while revisiting life – from airport shoplifting to avoiding Southern Baptist salvation, from acting like Hillary Clinton in a nursing home to hanging with a dragged-out grand-
Mark hopes the book helps others “by showing how you can come to believe in yourself and follow your life’s passions while coping with difficult situations, including the decline of a parent.”
Brockport native’s new memoir explores revisiting life while facing death
writing career through the prism of his mother’s caring, her eccentric rules, her fears for his future as a gay man, her parade of quirky relatives, and mostly through the lens of her final years in nursing homes. This is a story of a child who preferred designing his own airline to doing homework, and who understood that hotels and traveling could lead to adventures, passions and contentment. It is a story of unashamed love, and an unashamed thirst for travel that results in both success and fulfillment.”
He has written for Fodor’s, Forbes Travel Guide, HuffPost, the Miami Herald, Travel + Leisure Mexico, the New York Times bestseller 1,000 Places To See Before You Die, and the inflight magazines of Aeromexico, American Airlines and Avianca. He writes about Latin America in his travel blog, LatinFlyer.com, and regularly contributes to travel industry media outlets. Prepare for Departure is his first creative nonfiction
More than an end-of-life memoir, more than a collection of childhood memories and travel stories, the book takes readers on a trip – through time, through loss and through forgiveness and acceptance.
and in Tucson in February 1978
Prepare for Departure is a memoir about a mother, a son, and the journeys that families sometimes must take together. It touches on complex issues, including death, grief, parent/child relations, growing up gay in the 20th century, selfacceptance and finding your place in the world. Woven through it all is humor.The mother in the story is Eunice Chesnut, who lived in Brockport for 60 years. She earned her undergraduate and master’s degrees after being widowed and while working and raising her children. Eunice was well-known in the community and served for more than 30 years as the historian of the Western Monroe Historical Society. During that time, she founded enduring community events like the Old-Fashioned Fourth of July Celebration and the annual Peddlers Market at the Morgan-Manning House. A prolific writer about local history,
When asked what it feels like to share his personal story rather than travel tips, Mark said, “I’m really exposing myself now. I want readers to get something from my story, to relate to it, laugh at it or learn something from it. It’s really cool to see how much we all have in common.”
she had nine books to her credit, including a two-volume Encyclopedia of Brockport, which contains the stories of almost 2,000 people, back to the earliest settlers of the Brockport area.

Eunice Chesnut was well-known in the Brockport community. She served more than 30 years as the historian of the Western Monroe Historical Society and founded enduring community events.
Mark said, “I wrote this book because I had to. My mother’s illness and physical decline made me really step back and look at my life and hers, and I was compelled to tell her story and mine in order to make sense of our lives and her impending death. It was therapeutic, and as I started sharing parts of my story, I realized it could resonate with a lot of other people who’ve gone through similar experiences, too.”
publicist and author, Geoffrey Weill, describes Mark’s memoir as one that “explores a childhood, youth, and travel
Mark attributes his overwhelming wanderlust to his misfit childhood in Brockport with an indulgent upbringing by his mother. At an early age, he learned to dodge discomfort by jumping on the nearest plane, bus or car. That tactic proved especially useful when his mother made it clear that there was no room for discussion about his gayInidentity.2015, 89-year-old Eunice moved to a New York City nursing home to spend her final weeks near her son. It was then that Mark embarked on the most emotional journey of all. “I hadn’t lived this close to my mother in more than 30 years. And now I was responsible for her life, health and death,” Mark said.
While the book deals with heavy topics, it is filled with humor, often dark humor. “I got my sense of humor from my family – especially my mother and my grandfather,” Mark said. “Humor can be used in a lot of positive ways. It can alleviate stress, reduce conflict and improve health. What’s the point of suffering if you can’t joke about it at some point? Gallows humor can work wonders!”Markhas been a travel writer for more than 20 years and won the NLGJA Excellence in Travel Writing Award in 2019.

Brockport Firefighters host 9/11 Vigil
Firefighters, Law Enforcement Officers, EMTs and Paramedics come from the tri-county region each year. For the last several years there has also been a contingent from the Pike Fire Company in Wyoming County who make the trek to spend time with local volunteers. Fire trucks and military vehicles were the backdrop during the ceremonies emphasizing the importance of the day, and reinforcing the message to remember those we lost 21 years ago, and those we continue to lose as a result of health issues arising from the effects of the attacks.

SUNY Brockport ROTC students, and local clergy came together, joining first responders on the small plot of land in the village of Brockport. They shared in the ceremonies, the honor guard, and the comradery, which is very evident each year. Monroe County Legislator Jackie Smith shared her thoughts, and she and her husband, Kevin, donated the large American flags that fly above and on the memorial. NYS Senator Rob Ortt spoke at the closing ceremony, as did NYS Assemblyman Steve Hawley. Their messages were heartfelt and appreciated by those in attendance. Michael Barbato, a participant with the Flower City Chaplain Corps, was the keynote speaker for the evening. He spoke of his visit to Ground Zero during the recovery efforts, and how that impacted him as a military reservist, a father, and a man of God.

The bestowment of Roberts Wesleyan’s university designation reflects a legacy of strategic and intentional institutional advancement. The school offers a broad range of more than 90 undergraduate, graduate and adult degree-completion programs across disciplines in health care, education, business, social sciences and other areas. Through the addition of two innovative doctoral programs in clinical/school psychology and occupational therapy, Roberts meets the needs and interests of a growing population of more than 1,600 students. Roberts’ plan is to continually research and add new, highquality programs and curricula to address growing workforce needs in specific industries that enable the institutions’ network of more than 20,000 alumni to compete in an ever-evolving job market.

On September 13, President Deana L. Porterfield announced the college’s transition to Roberts Wesleyan University, effective immediately. The new institutional name, which was endorsed by the New York State Board of Regents following a successful petition to elevate the college to university status, signifies the culmination of decades of strategic program development and reflects the vision of the future of the institution.
With the investment in the change to university, Roberts Wesleyan hopes to establish broader networks in the Greater Rochester area and beyond through Corporate Partnerships and The Community Institutes. The latter will be housed in the new 25,000-square-foot Golisano Community Engagement Center following the completion of the $15 million Connect the Community Capital Campaign and construction of the building in 2023. Through those relationships, Roberts Wesleyan will provide students with more experiential learning connections, such as internships, clinicals, student teaching and research opportunities.

Herbs are a great addition to any garden. They are beautiful, functional, and often easy to grow. If you are growing annual and perennial culinary herbs, make sure to use them to add flavor to home-cooked meals.

On the other hand, if you have your ear to the ground, you know at least some of the many Town Board executive sessions since January have had to do with the treatment of our exemplary former assessor, Liz Spencer, the predicament of not being able to replace her, and finally the deal with Sweden.Ifyou looked further into the minutes of the Town Board (available online), you would see that after the executive session on August 9, the Board moved to open session to vote to accept this deal with Sweden before adjournment. Please note that one Town Board member was absent, and one voted nay, leaving this major decision to be made by three people. And, of course, the public had been dismissed.

LegaL NoticeS Opinion
As a resident of Clarkson, I’d like to thank Sara’s Garden Center and the Brockport Lions Club for their combined contribution of flowers and labor to enhance the landscaping of the public roundabout that borders the Towns of Sweden and Clarkson on Lake Road. I think it’s safe for me to speak on behalf of the towns’ residents in our appreciation of their efforts and, most importantly, their caring about the appearance of our towns. The New York State Department of Transportation states that it is up to local governments and/or volunteers to maintain the landscaping of roundabouts. We are lucky to have local businesses and organizations like these two who volunteer to give back to the community. I know there are other businesses and groups who also give back in other ways. We thank them as well, and, in turn, I encourage all residents to support local businesses and organizations whenever possible.

The Hilton Central Schools Teachers Association (HCSTA) 2021-22 Teacher of the Year Award was presented at the annual staff convocation at Hilton High School on September 6. This year’s honoree is Kathryn (Katie) Caprino, Village Elementary School special education teacher, Caprino has been with the Hilton School District for 12 years, and currently works in the 6:1:1 class for autistic students. She goes above and beyond to meet her students’ academic, physical, emotional, and behavioral needs, making them feel safe and successful. The ultimate “chaos coordinator,” Caprino works with both the students and the various adults in her room, keeping track of schedules, therapies, services and special classes. She is also masterful at communicating with parents, sharing and celebrating the victories her students achieve both in and out of the classroom. One of these parents writes, “...her genuine love for our kiddos is nothing less than breathtaking; she is a gift for kids and families with special needs.”
While surveys in the area are ongoing, the Department is asking for the public’s help in slowing down the spread of SLF in this area by reporting any sightings immediately to agriculture.ny.gov/reportSLF.Inadditiontoreporting, residents are asked to:

State Agriculture Commissioner Richard A. Ball said, “We are concerned about the significant number of adult Spotted Lanternfly that have been found in Buffalo, especially with its proximity to the Concord grape growing area in Western New York. SLF can have a devastating impact on vineyards, as we’ve seen in neighboring states, so we need everyone’s help to be on the lookout for this invasive and to report it immediately.”

SLF is a destructive pest that feeds on more than 70 plant species, including tree-of-heaven, and plants and crops that are critical to New York’s agricultural economy, such as grapevine, apple trees, and hops. The invasive was first observed in New York State on Staten Island in August 2020, and since then the population has been reported in all New York City boroughs, Long Island, Port Jervis, Sloatsburg, Orangeburg, Ithaca, Binghamton, Middletown, Newburgh, Highland, and now in the Buffalo area.

•Sap oozing or weeping from open wounds on tree trunks, which appear wet and give off fermented odors.
Recently, while fishing with my son in Black Creek in Churchville, I discovered the creek, from Churchville Park upstream to Route 19, was obstructed by several log jams and trees. Some restricted the passage of boat traffic completely.
The Department’s Division of Plant Industry inspectors responded to reports of SLF in a residential area of Buffalo adjacent to an active rail line. As of September 9, over 100 adults have been found. Agriculture and Markets staff will continue to survey the surrounding areas in the coming days. Although the population is significant, the area was surveyed in April of 2022 and no egg masses were found, and no old egg masses have been found during the current survey.
All the obstructions have now been cut up, opening boating accessability from the Churchville Dam upstream to a quarter-mile west of Route 19.
•Take pictures of the insect, egg masses, or infestation you see and, if possible, include something for size, such as a coin or ruler.

As far as having success hunting early geese, the first thing you need to do is scout for birds. It is mandatory to know where these honkers are feeding. You need to be where they want to be. At this time of year, it will be in recently cut wheat stubble or freshly cut hay fields.
As part of its succession planning efforts, CNB has appointed Ginny Ryan as Senior Vice President and Director of Community Engagement. Ginny joins CNB from News Channel

Hunters aged 16 years or older must also have a new federal duck stamp to hunt during the September goose season. Federal duck stamps cost $25 and are available at most post offices and some sporting goods stores. Stamps must be signed across the face by the hunter before they become valid, but they do not have to be attached to the hunting license.
Don’t forget that the DEC changed the license structure a few years back. It’s not what we’ve all been used to for many years. The license now runs from September 1 to August 31. You need a whole new small game license, HIP number, and duck stamp to chase these September geese.

The DEC recognized the problem and has lifted many of the restrictions that are mandatory for the regular goose season. During the September goose season in Western New York, hunters are allowed to harvest up to 15 Canada geese per day. In addition to the higher bag limit, shooting hours are extended to one-half hour after sunset instead of the usual closing at sunset. Hunters are now allowed to use electronic calling devices to help entice geese within shooting range, plus use shotguns capable of holding more than three shells at a time, but no more than seven.

I remember as a kid getting excited when we saw a flock of geese flying over because we knew it was a true indicator that the seasons were changing. Of course, back then, we also got excited when we got our first private phone line at the house – no more waiting for any of the dozen other households sharing that same phone line to hang up so we could make or receive a call. That’s how ancient I am.
September goose season underway
spreaders.Theearly goose season doesn’t demand huge decoy spreads like the regular goose season when you are trying to fool new geese migrating into the area. With resident geese, it is best to try and match the number of birds you see in the field while scouting. I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to be completely hidden. Chances are good that the geese have been feeding in the field for a few weeks, and they will spot anything out of order, so stubble up your blinds like you’re hiding from the police, and you will be OK.
After more than 44 years as a member of the Canandaigua National Bank & Trust (CNB) family, effective December 31, 2022, Steve Martin will be retiring from his position as Senior Vice President, Community Affairs Director. Steve has had a long career at CNB, including leading its Human Resource efforts; managing Marketing, Advertising, and Public Relations; supporting its Community Reinvestment efforts; and most recently leading its Community Affairs initiatives.Apress release from CNB read, “Steve has been instrumental in CNB’s success and has been a strong champion for CNB for decades. We want to take this opportunity to publicly thank Steve for everything he has done as a colleague, mentor, and friend. The entire team at CNB wishes Steve much happiness in retirement and looks forward to celebrating with him at the end of the year.”

there are over 250,000. These resident geese should be called American geese rather than Canadian geese because they are now living here year-round – no migrating for these squatters. They nest and raise their young here, who then, in turn, imprint on this area, continuing the cycle. All the local geese need is open water to roost on at night, and they will stay all year, never migrating at all while depositing their goose berries on sports fields, golf courses, mall parking lots, and almost every housing track that has a retention pond. They are as common as seagulls.
To participate in the September Canada goose hunting season, hunters must have a new 2022-23 hunting license with small game hunting privileges. Remember that under the current license structure, your license year starts on September 1, not October 1 anymore. Also, you need a new HIP number, Migratory Bird Harvest Information Program (HIP). HIP registrations expire on June 30 annually, so all hunters must register now to hunt during September. To register in HIP, call toll-free at 1-888-427-5447 (1-888-4 ASK HIP) or visit New York’s Migratory Bird Harvest Information Program website.

September is a great time of year to be outdoors in Western New York, so go chase some honkers. Go fetch, Cove, ole buddy.
Once you find a field or pond the geese are using, you need to get permission from the landowners. The tricky part here is finding out who owns the property. There is a fantastic smart app out now, ONX Hunt maps; it shows you the property borders, tells who owns that block of land, and provides the property owner’s address. Getting permission to hunt nuisance geese is much easier than getting permission to hunt deer or turkeys. Most everyone recognizes there are too many of the flying manure

In planning their first Health and Safety Fair, their goals were straightforward: create a space for migrant farmworkers to gather safely in a festive environment where they could access community services in a single location while at the same time increase an awareness among a population that struggles with unique barriers and challenges in accessing community and health care services.

On a hot, humid day during July 2022, the Western New York Coalition of Farmworker Serving Agencies’ (WNYCFSA) dream of hosting their first Health and Safety Fair for migrant and seasonal farmworkers became a long-awaited reality for Executive Director Irene Sanchez and its 45 organizational agency members. This grassroots coalition, which began more than three decades ago and became a 501(c)(3) organization in 2018, is quickly establishing themselves as champions of the migrant farmworker community.
On the day of the fair, over 300 people came together for a day of celebration. Vendors, volunteers, and service providers actively engaged migrant
Westside News East and West Editions - September 18, 2022 15
They meet monthly with a simple mission: facilitate information exchange, advocacy, and collaboration among organizations that serve migrants and seasonal farmworkers. They work to identify and overcome barriers to equal rights and respect in their place of employment, as well as in the communities in which they live.
In New York State, as of 2017, there were 33,438 farms with an estimated number of 59,433 farmworkers as noted by the National Center for Farmworker Health. The top crops of farmworker labor include apples, cabbage, sweet corn, potatoes, and grapes. There are also large animal production farm workers on dairy farms. In the western New York counties of Niagara, Orleans, Monroe, Genesee, Wyoming, Erie, and Livingston counties there are over 10,791 farm workers, noted in 2017.
According to Craig Regelbrugge of AmericanHort, “When we produce here (in the U.S.) we are generating thousands upon thousands of jobs that are not on the farm necessarily. They’re related to inputs that the farmer must buy in order to produce. They’re related to things that must happen after the crop or product leaves the farm. The multiplier effect for each farmworker is said to be somewhere between two and three jobs that are created here.” This is why our seasonal and migrant farmworkers are so crucial to the American table and why WNYCFSA work to recognize and address their needs.
from all over western New York volunteered their services.Information was provided on legal services, pesticides, cancer screenings, mental health screening, dental and vision care, social justice information, worker rights, immigration rights, education on breastfeeding, health insurance, diabetes, blood pressure checks, nutrition, vaccines, GED information, COVID-19 education, and tobacco-free education. Three local mobile units were also present to offer health screenings, vaccines, and insurance information.Multiplegive-aways were donated to the coalition on that day, such as, bicycles, gift cards, trophies, medals, plants, masks, and hand sanitizers. Art activities engaged children and families, soccer tournaments and domino games were held, music by a DJ was provided, and a complimentary hot lunch was served to the participants. The success of this first-ever health and safety fair was only possible because of the effective partnerships and generous sponsors within the community. Farmworkers, whose tedious labor puts food on our tables, frequently expressed their sincere gratitude and appreciation throughout the day.
More than 10,000 hours were spent in sharing God’s love with the community. Much of the food and supplies for these projects are paid for by the church’s Making Waves mission budget.

Attendees were able to get bilingual information on a variety of topics and services.
Multiple give-aways were donated to the coalition to be handed out to attendees.
This past year, 2021, has been a good one for this local coalition. In addition to the success of the recent Health and Safety Fair, the Coalition was awarded a grant by the Finger Lakes Performing Provider System, whose purpose was to address COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in the farmworker population and assist in farmworkers and their families acquiring the vaccine. A total of 3,744 migrant and seasonal farmworkers and their families were impacted through this grant.

Legion members recommend those who have not had the opportunity to attend one of these welcome home ceremonies, go to https://honorflightrochester. org to learn more and attend or volunteer at the next one. They said it was especially gratifying to see little children getting caught up in the excitement with the bands, the color guards and veterans – a great family and teaching event.

Post member Rich Thompson participated in Honor Flight this year. The Vietnam War veteran is a former Post Commander and has been a Legion member for over 36 years. Rich, who has given much to the community, veterans and to the Legion over his lifetime, was chosen. You could see the beam in his eyes walking with his escort, son-in-law Cameron Mahood, through the corridor of community members welcoming him back. For Vietnam veterans who did not always get the warmest welcome back in the 60s and 70s, it was an opportunity to now show the nation’s gratitude to Rich and his family. The Legion family was out in force with their banner. The Legion also had three members who were chosen to participate in the Honor Flight program in 2019. Al Cullen, Dave Ess and Leon Mundt were all Vietnam veterans, longtime Legion members, and are all pillars of the Churchville community.
Rochester Honor Flight greeted by Harvey C. Noone American Legion
On September 11, while remembering the horrific events of the terrorist attack on America, the Harvey C. Noone Legion Family were also able to welcome back veterans to the Rochester International Airport after a whirlwind Honor Flight trip to Washington, D.C. Participants said it seemed just right to welcome these unsung heroes who participated in defending our country and values while also remembering those who were killed and injured on that day 21 years ago.
“We’re excited to bring the faceto-face format of the festival back, as there’s nothing quite like having that direct interaction,” TBF Board
Now in its 15th year, TBF promotes reading by connecting teens with authors to promote and support recreational reading. The festival is free and open to the public, with presentations and panel discussions with popular young-adult authors throughout the day. Attendees also will have the chance to meet their favorite authors and connect with fellow teen readers and writers. Most of this year’s events will be in openair spaces on and in the hallways of Frontier Field.

The Honor Flight Network was formed in 2005 with a mission of honoring our nation’s veterans by bringing them to Washington, D.C. to visit the memorials and monuments dedicated to their service and sacrifice. It is focused on honoring our nation’s World War II veterans, those who served in the Korean War, Vietnam War, intermediary operations, and in special cases of terminal illness or injury, veterans from more recent service eras.

TBF was established in 2006 by librarian Stephanie Squicciarini, who passed away in 2018, and a team of public and school librarians. It’s since grown into a community-sponsored event dedicated to celebrating teen readers and writers, providing opportunities to interact with award-winning authors. It brings together more than 2,500 readers each year.

“It is such an important time. We know that we are in the midst of a mental health crisis – one that will only get worse if we aren’t able to come together to create a very different system of care,” said Anne Wilder, president, CCSI. “One that provides easier access to the full range of services and supports needed to address mental health issues – within a framework that understands and respects an individual’s culture, family, and economic circumstances. One that removes stigma and eliminates disparities. One that recognizes and quickly responds to the social determinants of health, such as safe housing, racism, education, income, and food access. And one that builds trust among providers, partners, and the community. As we open the door to our next 30 years, we are deeply committed to partnering with organizations across the community in building toward that vision.”
For three decades, locally-based nonprofit, Coordinated Care Services, Inc. (CCSI), has partnered with local government and community organizations to address increasingly complex and urgent mental health and addiction needs, which are only exacerbated by the trauma associated with poverty, and systemic and structural racism. Starting in 1992 with a team of six staff members dedicated to supporting the Monroe County Office of Mental Health, who continues to be an important partner, CCSI has grown to a workforce of more than 400 staff supporting innovative programs and services in Rochester and across Upstate New York. And while it has grown, the organization has stayed grounded in its mission, which is to help organizations that help others – improving lives and strengthening communities.CCSIwill mark its 30th Anniversary with a Virtual, Livestream Community Celebration on Thursday, September 22, from 3 to 5 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

Community Church, 30 Long Pond Road (near Edgemere Drive), supports the Greece Ecumenical Food Shelf every month, but August is special. In August they have a challenge and this year it was to collect 1,500 jars or cans of pasta sauce. As of August 28, the count was 1,486 sauces. The neighbors decided the goal must be met and made another donation and the final count was 1,668 jars or cans of pasta sauce. Paul Marvin and Jim Raymond were two of the many volunteers who loaded the sauce into four vehicles to be delivered to the Food Shelf. The contributions from church members, their families, co-workers, neighbors, and local businesses made this challenge a success. The Food Shelf is always grateful for the donation.
