Sky is not the limit for 2021 Spencerport grad Ethan George
Ethan George, a 2021 Spencerport graduate and alumni of the Ranger Robotics Team 3015, interned at the SpaceX corporation this summer and contributed to developing various components most recently used in their October 15 rocket launch.
Ethan shared the following insight about his experience along with words of advice for our current students and Robotics team.
“I am a fourth-year mechanical engineering student pursuing my bachelors/masters at RIT. This past summer I interned at SpaceX in Los Angeles, California, as a R&D Manufacturing/Machining Engineer. In this role I worked in the Starship RND Machine Shop, developing and optimizing manufacturing and machining processes for new Starship components. I also worked through the whole value chain to ensure no delays from specific component needs for Starship tests and flights.
“My primary project was to create the first machining production cell for Starship to prove SpaceX capability to manufacture, at rate and cheaper cost, all the necessary parts for a full valve assembly. This assembly is the single most expensive line item outside of the engines, consisting of varying materials and difficulties, and was fully productionized using two CNC machines. My founding principle was that if a robot can do it (which is what a CNC machine innately is) then a person should not have to do that. This meant automating machine loading and unloading, in-machine component inspection, having robust failure detection, and plenty of other factors. Analyzing machine utilization, tool life turnover, and production rate data all create a story of how an operation can be improved, and is critical to ensuring cost effective and timely production. Outside of the production cell, I was responsible for manufacturing planning and delivery of various components across the rocket, getting to work with a high mix
of different valves, actuators, and components for new (and unfortunately secret) mechanisms.
“SpaceX taught me numerous lessons, and was an invaluable experience to me as a developing engineer. My biggest takeaway is to never be the restricting factor – if you can do a five-minute task that enables someone else to start doing something, that is your immediate focus. Also, attention to detail and extreme ownership is the most important thing for a successful project, to operate at the highest level you must truly care about every little detail, and you must feel and bear full responsibility for it. To those looking to be a successful engineer, my biggest piece of advice is to be passionate, be persistent, and forever be a student ready to learn.”

Volleyball is all in the family for Churchville’s Kareluses
by Warren Kozireski
Mom (Kristie) and Dad (Christopher) met while playing indoor beach volleyball at Hot Shots in Rochester. The former played collegiately at D’Youville and the latter at the University of Buffalo.
So, it was only natural that their offspring would continue playing the sport. Senior Jaycee Karelus and sophomore Camryn are in their final season playing competitive volleyball together for Roberts
“I think it’s really awesome; we played together in high school and it’s so fun to play together and such a privilege,” Camryn said. “Everyone in the family – even my brother (Lucas) plays and has
“It’s been amazing, being able to have that connection that I believe no other players can have on the court with her…and I wouldn’t trade it for the Jaycee began her collegiate career at her mother’s alma mater, D’Youville, for two seasons but transferred to Roberts Wesleyan before last season.
“I was playing, I was starting, and I had a really great time. The coaching staff is amazing, and I have the utmost respect for the entire program,” Jaycee said. “(But) I got homesick, and I missed my fam-
ily and saw the opportunity to save a lot of money staying at home, and I got to play with my sister, my best friend, for the last two years of my career, which was an opportunity I just couldn’t pass up.”
They were previously teammates at Churchville-Chili, helping the girls volleyball team win their first Section V championship in 2021 as Jaycee earned All-Tournament Team honors and Camryn First Team All-County.
“The first time that we won for sure and the second time (is a favorite memory), but I feel like the first time is the most memorable just because we had never won before, it was Covid so there was barely anybody there…it was such a tight game and it was really good to pull out that win,” Camryn said.
Both are now playing a leading role offensively and defensively in helping the Redhawks to a 10-7 start to the season. They stand third and fourth on the team in kills while second and fifth in blocks.
In a recent match against Daemen, they led the offense with 12 kills each and combined for three blocks.
“Because we play side-by-side, especially with blocking, it’s just the connection that we have and when we work together, we can create a wall on those blocks,” Jaycee said. “Kind of gives us a leg up on other players.”
And they are trying to help Roberts Wesleyan to its first above .500 season since 2014.
“We try our best to be the loudest and energetic all the time as much as we can be. We’re both powerful hitters and we like to show that when we can when we have the chance,” Camryn concluded.
“As you can see on the court, those girls bring a ton of energy,” Redhawks head coach Andy Braun said. “When they’re on the court and when they’re off on the sideline, they are superpositive, and they bring energy to our team. And they’re great kids, they care about their teammates and it’s fun coaching them.”

Seed pellets will help farmers increase biodiversity
by Kristina Gabalski
One of the best ways to maintain the health of your landscape and increase yields of vegetables, fruits, and flowers is to create a biodiverse garden that attracts beneficial insects and birds. For row-crop farmers, creating a biodiverse field is difficult, but an innovative multi-seed pellet developed by researchers at Cornell University will help commercial growers plant milkweed and wildflower seeds with equipment they already own.
Milkweed and wildflowers may soon be a common sight growing around cornfields in an effort to help increase biodiversity in row crop farming. Researchers at Cornell University are working on seed pellets that farmers can plant with equipment they already own.
An article published in the Cornell Chronicle on September 11, 2024, details how researchers at Cornell are working with partners in the agricultural industry to create a multi-seed pellet that is the same shape and density as corn seeds, allowing the pellets to be used in planters.
Earlier versions of the pelleted seeds were too large for planting equipment, but improved corn-shaped milkweed and wildflower pellets have been planted at a Cornell research farm and will break dormancy over the winter. The seeds will emerge and grow in the spring of 2025.
Professors and researchers at Cornell say the idea of planting milkweed and wildflower seeds to attract beneficial insects to row crop fields began with casual conversations ten years ago.
Typically, pollinator plants like milkweed are transplanted as seedlings, but such a labor-intensive project has made it difficult for growers to embrace planting strips of flowering plants near corn and other fields.
The Cornell Chronicle article states that the government and scientists have advocated for growers to plant wildflower buffer strips around fields to attract beneficial insects, which can help with pollination to increase yields as well as attract predator
insects that prey on crop pests.
The pellets hold multiple seeds of a single species. The milkweed pellets are formulated with three different milkweeds – common, swamp and butterfly; and the wildflower pellets contain purple coneflower, wild bergamot and black-eyed Susan. Three-D molding technology simulates the size and shape of a corn seed.
Cornell researchers note that monarch butterflies (which are dependent on milkweed plants for their caterpillars and as sources of nectar) are our national insect and populations have dropped so low, monarchs are being considered for listing on the endangered species list.
In the article, Antonio DiTommaso, professor in the Soil and Crop Sciences Section in the School of Integrative Plant Science in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell, noted that to truly improve biodiversity, large-scale plantings of milkweed and wildflowers, like those provided in the crop buffer strips, are required.
Cornell researchers have a patent pending for the multi-seed pellet technology through Cornell’s Center for Technology Licensing, the article says.

Brockport Symphony Orchestra
presents “Folk Music & Popular Songs Around the World”
Celebrating its 15th Anniversary Season, the Brockport Symphony Orchestra will present its fall concert, “Folk Music & Popular Songs Around the World” on Sunday, November 3, 4 p.m., at the First Presbyterian Church of Brockport, 35 State Street, Brockport. Directed by Jonathan Allentoff, this family concert will feature violin soloist Eloise Fadial and composer-in-residence and guest pianist
Fadial, the orchestra’s concertmaster, studied with Grammy-nominated violinist Dr. John Fadial
and the distinguished Dr. Beth Vanderborgh at the University of Wyoming. She performed with the University of Wyoming Symphony and Chamber Orchestras and was the recipient of the prestigious McElhone Scholarship. Currently completing a PhD in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Rochester, she performs as concertmaster and violin soloist with the Eastman Summer Studio Orchestra and appears as a violinist and violist on the University of Rochester Chamber Music Series.
Sikora, a graduate of Binghamton University and the Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College, is a Peruvian-American composer and pianist with recent performances by the Ukrainian Festival Orchestra, Lviv Philharmonic, and the Syracuse University Symphony Orchestra. The Washington Post has described his music as “an appealing melding of the romantic and the contemporary, unselfconscious and unpretentious.”
Admission is free, and donations will be gratefully accepted.
This project is made possible with support from the Village of Brockport and funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by Genesee Valley Council on the Arts.

Hilton-Parma Fire District earns Class 3 rating
In September of 2024, the Hilton-Parma Fire District earned a Public Protection Classification (PPC) Class 3 rating offered by the Insurance Service Organization (ISO), an increase from the previous Class 4 rating.
The Fire District would like to take this opportunity to recognize the officers and members of the Fire Department for the effort that was involved in increasing this rating. Through increased participation in training and response to emergency calls, the rating was able to be reviewed and improved for the community. This is a direct reflection on the commitment of the members that serve their community, and provide the best emergency services protection to the Fire District.
What does it mean to be a Class 3 Fire District? While the Public Protection Classification is not used to directly set insurance premiums, insurance companies do factor it in when setting their premiums. A lower PPC rating means saving money with lower premiums for the residents and businesses by providing higher levels of fire protection. By classifying communities’ ability to suppress fires, ISO helps the communities evaluate their public fire protection services. The program provides an objective, country-wide standard that helps fire departments in planning and budgeting for facilities, equipment, and training. By securing lower fire insurance premiums for communities with better public protection, the PPC program provides incentives and rewards for communities that choose to improve their firefighting services.
Spencerport’s Cartons For Christmas preparing for the holiday season Comments
Every year in time for the holidays, the Spencerport community reaches out to help local families who are struggling. The project is Cartons For Christmas. Area churches, schools, service organizations, businesses and individuals of all ages lend their support.
Last year we served 140 local families (517 people) by providing gift cards, food and 199 toys for young children.
We request your help with donations and invite you to volunteer at cartonsvolunteers@gmail.com.
Gift cards and cash donations can be dropped off at St John’s Parish Center, 55 Martha Street, Spencerport, between November 4 and November 25, Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Contact Cartonxmas@aol.com or text 585750-5341 to arrange a different time. Please make checks payable to Cartons For Christmas.
There will be an Open House to accept unexpired food items (no glass please) on Friday, December 6, from 3 to 6 p.m., at St. John’s school building gym, 65 Martha Street, Spencerport.
Early dropoff locations for food are:
•Fowler’s Canaltown Wine & Spirits, 377 South Union Street, Spencerport
•Hunt Real Estate ERA, 85 South Union Street, Spencerport.
ISO’s PPC information plays an important part in the decisions insurers make affecting the availability and price of property insurance. Virtually all US insurance companies, including the largest ones, use PPC information in one or more of the following ways:
•To identify opportunities for writing new business
•To achieve a reasonable concentration of property risk
•To review loss experience in various rating territories
•To price policies, offer coverages, and establish deductibles for individual homes and businesses Insurance companies, not ISO, establish the premiums they charge to policyholders. The methodology a company uses to calculate premiums for property insurance may depend on the company’s fire loss experience, underwriting guidelines, and marketing strategy. ISO does not know how each company incorporates the PPC information into its pricing structure, so it is difficult to generalize how an improvement or deterioration in a PPC will affect individual policies.
Residents should reach out to their respective Homeowners Insurance Company, and ask if a lower Class 3 rating would have any impact on the premiums that are paid on the policy.
Commissioners, Hilton-Parma Fire District
New this year, Big
M is sponsoring a food drive. You can drop items in the box as you leave the store.

Erie Canal Ringers seek new members
The Erie Canal Ringers handbell choir is recruiting for 2024-2025. There has been a delayed start and some personnel changes, but the choir is looking to get back to swinging some bells. There are seven openings in the lower intermediate team, The Great Bells of Fire (GBOF), and two openings in the more advanced intermediate team, The Heavy Metal Ringers (HMR). Currently, the GBOF is ringing as a small ensemble with six ringers, but they would like to build back up to a full choir to handle five octaves of handbells. Both groups can always use subs, which is a great way to get to know the other ringers and the instrument. The GBOF meets on Mondays from 5:45 to 8:15 p.m., and the HMR meets on Tuesdays from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Rehearsals are held at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 14 State Street, Brockport.
The HMR requires the ability to read fairly fluently at least one music staff. For this particular year, because
of the short lead time before the holidays and the current skill level of the ringers, the group is asking that those interested in the GBOF have some prior music reading ability or bell ringing experience, although fluency is not needed. If there is enough interest from those with no music background, contact the director to discuss whether some bell and music instruction can be arranged.
The Erie Canal Ringers is a secular organization that plays a variety of classical, pop, and sacred music. There is no fee to participate in either choir or for the instruction.
Handbells are a physically active and mentally challenging way to make music, and ringing is fun. It’s a gigantic, communal music instrument. For more information, email the director, Elaine Holt, at elvh2012@ gmail.com, or call at 585-364-2046 (Google Voice number). Please leave your name and contact information. Provided information

With music and lyrics by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, this cult classic follows the story of Seymour Krelborn, a shy, impoverished floral assistant working on Skid Row. Under the constant criticism of his boss, Mr. Mushnik, and dreaming of catching the eye of his co-worker Audrey, Seymour stumbles upon a strange and mysterious plant. However, this plant’s appetite turns out to be far more sinister than expected, leading Seymour to face a series of darkly comedic choices.
Come see Brockport High School’s talented student performers bring this thrilling, music-filled show to life. The cast includes senior Logan Mesiti as Seymour Krelborn, junior Jane Lloyd as Audrey, senior Ziyad ElOuardighini as Orin Scrivello, senior Heidi Feuerherm as Crystal, and senior Maxine Kemblowski as Chiffon. Sophomore Braeden Christensen takes on the role of Mr. Mushnik, while sophomore Nakoa Cotton provides the voice of Audrey II. More than 50 students are involved in the production, contributing as cast members, crew, and pit orchestra. Tickets are $15 if purchased in advance at Brockportdrama.com or $20 at the door.

Legislators present Regional Dredging Plan to Great Lakes Commission
Orleans County Legislature Chairman Lynne Johnson and Niagara County Legislator David Godfrey presented to the Great Lakes Commission at the group’s annual conference in Rochester. The legislators were invited to present on the innovative Regional Dredging Management Plan (RDMP), an initiative began by the Niagara Orleans Regional Alliance.
“The RDMP is a comprehensive approach for the on-going maintenance dredging of harbor access channels, utilized primarily for recreational boating, along the south shore of Lake Ontario,” said Johnson. “Our goal is to have multiple counties working in partnership to help jointly fund dredging projects across our communities through annual appropriations, thereby keeping the cost of any single project manageable for individual counties and ensuring dredging is performed on schedule.”
The presentation covered the formation of the RDMP and the creation
of a Lake Ontario Regional Dredging Management Council. Initial dredging was funded by a grant from the New York State Lake Ontario Resiliency and Economic Development Initiative (REDI).
Niagara County Legislator Dave Godfrey said the next step is Wendel Engineering updating the RDMP with information from the REDI Commission to revise dredging statistics and projected ongoing costs. From there, participating counties will enter into formal Inter-municipal agreements and an RFP will be issued to hire a dredging contractor to perform the work.
“Recreational boating activities generate nearly $100 million annually for our communities and that number will continue to grow, provided harbor access is maintained,” said Godfrey. “That means we must keep our harbors dredged and the most efficient and cost-effective way to do so is through collaboration among local governments.”
The eight Great Lakes states created the Great Lakes Commission (GLC) in 1955 via the Great Lakes Basin Compact. In 1968, Congress provided its consent to the Compact and the interstate compact agency it created. The eight U.S. states and two Canadian provinces are represented on the nonpartisan GLC by a delegation of government-appointed commissioners.
The GLC recommends policies and practices to balance the use, development, and conservation of the water resources of the Great Lakes and brings the region together to work on issues that no single community, state, province, or nation can tackle alone.
