Supervisor Reilich Proposes Toughest Vacant and Abandoned Property Regulations in the Area Greece Town Supervisor Bill Reilich announced an amendment to the Property Maintenance Code for the Town of Greece dealing with the issue of vacant and abandoned properties, commonly referred to as Zombie properties. The newly proposed Vacant Structure Registry provision takes the issue of dealing with vacant and abandoned properties one step further. The new amendment would require any bank or lender who commences a foreclosure proceeding in the Town to give prompt notice and provide a cash bond in the amount of no less than $10,000, to secure the continued maintenance and safety of the property. To ensure compliance, failure to comply with this requirement would be punishable by a fine of $5,000. Additionally, the proposed amendment would create increased penalties for owners of vacant and abandoned structures that are repeatedly noncompliant with the existing Property Maintenance Code and would require owners to provide notice of such vacancy and up-to-date contact information. “Since taking office, I have made it a top priority to take a good town and make it great once again. Today’s proposed amendment to our Town Code solidifies my promise to every resident, business and family that calls Greece their home,” said Reilich. “It is our commitment in fostering continued pride in our community and our neighborhoods that we are taking an aggressive approach in dealing with these vacant and abandoned properties. The proposed amendment would create another strong tool for our Town Code enforcement department to address and enforce the existing property maintenance code and provide additional oversight and stricter fines on vacant structures in our town.” The newly proposed amendment would effectively be the strongest effort by a local municipality in Monroe County to combat the problems associated with vacant structures or zombie properties.

This year the Greece Chamber is very happy to announce Elizabeth Wende Breast Care (EWBC) as the Presenting Sponsor of the Chamber’s Annual Health Fair.

It is truly an honor to have a highly respected industry leader like Elizabeth Wende Breast Care partner with us on this event.” “Elizabeth Wende Breast Care is very excited about being the Presenting Sponsor of the Greece Chamber’s 2016 Health Fair as we have been part of the community with a Greece office since 2010,” said Stamatia Destounis, MD, FACR (a radiologist at Elizabeth Wende Breast Care in Rochester, New York since 1993). “As an internationally recognized leader in the field of breast imaging and breast cancer diagnosis, as well as one of the largest free standing centers in the US, we continuously look for opportunities to both educate and serve the public; this event and others like it open doors for us to do just that. Since EWBC’s inception in 1975, our mission has been to provide the highest quality imaging and patient care. EWBC is deeply involved in community breast cancer awareness events and patient advocacy.” The Greece Chamber of Commerce Health Fair, now going into its fourth year, is a fun-filled, educational and healthy day for all who participate.

From the office of The Supervisor, Bill Reilich As you may have heard recently, we have installed a naturally freezing outdoor ice rink here at Town Hall. While Mother Nature has been kind to us the majority of our winter season, she came through for us “just in the nick time.” I am pleased to announce that our Town of Greece ice rink officially opened to the public just in time for the start of Spring Break week. The addition of the ice rink to our Town Hall campus is another great amenity for Greece residents to come together and enjoy the great outdoors during our winter months. Admission is free to all Greece residents and one dollar for non-residents. For an up-to-date status on whether or not the ice rink is open, please visit the Town’s website under the Community and Senior Center tab. Another great thing happening around Town Hall is the recent construction project for the new Greece Police Department Headquarters. I had the privilege of joining Chief Phelan, and the Greece Town Board on January 20, 2016, for a ceremonial ground breaking to kick off the beginning of this important project. Since first taking office Public Safety has been one of my top priorities. This new facility will help to finally give our Police Department the tools and resources necessary to help protect and keep our community safe utilizing the latest state of the art technology. If you are interested in getting construction updates along the way please email us at greecepoliceconstructionupdate@greeceny.gov to receive monthly updates. Additionally, with the weather being so great, we decided to get a jump start on preparing for a very busy summer ahead. This summer will be filled with many town favorite events like the Old Fashioned Fourth of July Celebration, Supervisor Reilich’s Summer Concerts at the Hall, and the Jerry J. Helfer Memorial Food Truck Rodeo and new events are planned as well. Keep a look out on my Facebook page for details about these events and others in the coming months. As always, I enjoy hearing feedback from residents about programming and other town related issues. If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact my office or visit our website.

Greece Historical Society Receives Prestigious Award

The Museum Association of New York (MANY), Troy, New York, announced the winners of its 2015 Awards of Merit, an annual award presented to New York State Museums and Heritage Organizations. A total of fifteen projects ranging from exhibitions to educational programs received statewide recognition. The Greece Historical Society received a Certificate of Commendation for its “Our Town in World War II” project. Bill Sauers, President of the Greece Historical Society, will accept the award on April 18, 2016 during the Museum Association of New York’s Annual Conference in Lake Placid. The society submitted the project in the category of Engaging Communities. The eight month long exhibit opened in May and closed in December 2015 and commemorated the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. It focused on how Greece residents helped win the war in the military and on the home front. “Countless volunteers contributed to this project and helped with the programs and exhibits. It is a tribute to them that we accept this award for all

A Wall of Remembrance was set up to honor the 32 men from the Town of Greece who gave their lives during World War II.

of their hard work,” said President Bill Sauers. The project started with Maureen Whalen interviewing World War II veterans from the town of Greece and Marie Poinan doing extensive research on the historic Odenbach Shipyard that produced tankers and barges during the war and the building that was torn down last year. Museum volunteers constructed a number of exhibits which included an interactive map where veterans could record where they had served during the war. The home front exhibit included information on how Greece residents planted victory gardens and held scrap drives to help out. The old World War I cannon in front of the old town hall on Ridge Road was donated to a scrap drive as the town board sought to help in the war effort. The “Wall of Remembrance” was staged in the dining room of the farmhouse at 595 Long Pond Road and recorded those Greece residents who lost their lives during the war. Thousands of visitors came to the museum during the year, including many veterans who brought in their families to experience what life was like in the 1940s during the war. Much of the information gathered was recorded in a commemorative book that was published to accompany the exhibit. The book is for sale in the museum gift shop, along with three additional books on the Odenbach ship-

yard. Patrons celebrated the veteran in their family with a personal message of support that recognized the sacrifice and achievements of the Greatest Generation who answered the call to serve their country. Throughout the entire year, various programs were given around the World War II theme that helped to enhance the tributes to the legacy of the Greatest Generation. The programs at the Greece Library about the Odenbachs drew record crowds and encore programs were staged to accommodate all those who wished to come and hear about the lost landmark and its importance during the war. The Odenbach family was also invited to a special afternoon at the museum which came to admire the work done in tribute to their grandfather and great-grandfather. The Greece Historical Society is most appreciative to receive this prestigious award from the Museum Association of New York, a non-profit organization that provides resources, training and expertise to New York’s heritage organizations and museums, and helps strengthen their capacity to better serve their communities. The Award of Merit program acknowledges outstanding programs and individuals who have made New York State’s museum community better and stronger and according to MANY, “These valuable organizations provide opportunities for inquiry, engagement, inspiration and education about the state’s cultural and natural heritage.” The only other winner of this award in the Finger Lakes region was the Ontario County Historical Society.

Coconut Oil by Tami Mungenast

Coconut oil might just be the most versatile health food on the planet. Not only is it my favorite cooking oil, but coconut oil uses are numerous and can extend to being a form of natural medicine, natural beauty treatments and so much more. The coconut tree is considered the “tree of life” in much of Southeast Asia, India, the Philippines, and other tropical locations. And today there are over 1,500 studies proving the health benefits of coconut oil. Some of the top coconut oil benefits include: • Balances Hormones • Kills Candida • Improves Digestion • Moisturizes Skin • Reduces Cellulite • Decreases Wrinkles and Age Spots • Balances Blood Sugar and Improve Energy • Improves Alzheimer’s • Increases HDL and Lower LDL Cholesterol • Burns Fat Coconut Oil Food Uses 1. Cooking at High Heat (Sauteing and Frying) – Coconut oil is great for cooking at a high heat because of its high smoke point. Many other oils like olive oil can oxidize when heated but because coconut oil is made up of healthy saturated fats it remains stable under high temperatures. 2. “Buttering Your Toast” – For breakfast in the morning, try spreading coconut oil on your sprouted grain bread, instead of conventional butter. The slight coconut flavor, more pronounced

in the unrefined coconut oils, lends a lovely aroma and taste to your toast. 3. Natural Energy Booster – The medium chain triglycerides in coconut oil, when partnered with chia seeds, will give you an energy boost when you need a mid-afternoon pickup, or after a strenuous workout. Chia seeds are known to boost performance, and endurance while the coconut oil aids in digestion and metabolizing of the chia seeds. Mix 1 tablespoon coconut oil with ½ tablespoon of chia seeds, and enjoy from the spoon, or spread on sprouted grain bread. 4. Creamer for Your Coffee – Adding a spoonful of coconut oil to your coffee can give you an extra boost of energy and replace dairy creamer. If you put your hot coffee in a blender, with the coconut oil and your favorite natural sweetener, and blend, you will be amazed at the rich creamy flavor, without adding any dairy. In the Far East, many athletes blend their morning coffee with coconut oil and grass-fed ghee to increase performance and energy. Tami Mungenast Personal Trainer & Nutrition Coach

Chapter One DRIVER’S LICENSE Dixie had followed Arizona all the way down to North Creek and then gotten on the highway. The sun shining through the windows was like an elixir leading her away from her frumpy beginnings towards the bonanza of a new day. She had left so early, her family still sound asleep; no coffee brewing yet, no eggs frying, no bacon. Her stomach gurgled. Every license plate she passed reminded her of food! APLApple, CKE-Cake, BNS-Buns, FGG-Egg Foo Yung. She had to stop somewhere before she started picking around in the seat cushion seams searching for stray crumbs! She got off the highway at the next exit (a small town called Bunderby) and stopped in front of Fitzpatrick’s, a little diner with a large poster board out front, the specials written in crayon. Bowl of New England Clam Chowder – $3.00 Baked Macaroni and Cheese with Tossed Salad – $7.00 Boneless Chicken Breast Smothered with Provolone Cheese and Sautéed Peppers and Onions; Thick Cut French Fries and a Cherry Tomato Salad – $11.00 Dixie dashed in and practically fell into the booth right next to the door. Aaahh, the smells wafting from that kitchen! Her mouth watered and her stomach gurgled even louder. A smiling waitress with a tail of dark flowing hair bouncing behind her started towards her booth but before she was even half way there, Dixie blurted out her order. “I’ll have the chicken breast special, a large coffee and a large glass of water.” “Sounds like someone’s really hungry! I’ll get that out for you in a flash, Honey.” and the waitress hurried back into the kitchen with Dixie’s order. Luckily for Dixie’s tummy, her lunch really did come out in a flash. “Here you go, just like I promised. And my name’s Pam. If there’s anything else you need, you make sure and let me know. We aim to please.” She was such a friendly, effervescent waitress! Dixie grinned and dug into her meal. Minutes later the last little tomato passed through her lips. Everything was gone. She had practically inhaled it. Then she noticed the big plate of donuts beckoning to her from under their glass domed cover on the counter.

“Are those donuts fresh?” she asked when Pam came to refill her coffee. “The freshest!” Pam enthused. “We pick them up every morning from Eversweet Bakery just a couple blocks down the road. They come off the line, into the box and into our hands. The apple-stuffed are my favorite. Just delicious. Would you like one?” “I can’t resist!” Delicious did not begin to describe that donut. Tender, chunky apples just touched with lightly sweetened syrup and a dusting of cinnamon sat surrounded by a sugar sprinkled dough that was so soft and fluffy, it nearly melted in her mouth. It was heaven! It was bliss! A perfect end to a perfect lunch for an awesome new beginning! With her stomach content now, Dixie relaxed and stretched in her seat. What a cute place Fitzpatrick’s was. It was decorated in shades of ecru, sage and burgundy with a rooster theme. There were ceramic roosters, fabric roosters and wooden roosters. There were big roosters and small roosters. There were rooster plaques, rooster pins, rooster paintings and rooster mugs. And all the roosters were for sale. As she stood at the cash register to pay her bill, Dixie selected a brightly colored rooster pin - A souvenir to mark the beginning of her journey to freedom. “How much?” “Honey, the pin’s on the house. You take care now, you hear? Make sure you stay safe.” Was there something about her demeanor that made Pam guess she had just left home, that she was a young woman out on her own, that she might need safekeeping? Or was that just something she said to everyone? No matter. She was a smart, observant girl. Everything was going great. She had no worries. Dixie tucked a generous tip for Pam under her empty plate, and left the diner in a state of euphoria - her stomach pleasantly full, her rooster pin attached to her purse strap. She knew she had not made a mistake in leaving her family behind. She knew she was headed for something wonderful. The world was full of promise. As she got back in her little Jetta and drove away, the rooster flag hanging by the diner door waved a cheery goodbye. continued on page 27

A New Headquarters for Greece Police by Tami Raco It was the 1970’s when the Greece Police Department located their headquarters in the former water treatment plant located at 400 Island Cottage Road, Greece. The building was less than ideal to house the headquarters of the growing town’s police department, it was considered only a temporary plan. The location is rather obscure set back off a dirt drive on Island Cottage Road with very little signage. There is no real reception entry area or secure area to process arrested individuals. Locating the headquarters in the current building was to be a short-term plan of approximately 15 years before eventually building a new home for the Department. Forty years later the plan for a new headquarters is finally underway. The current buildings can no longer accommodate the large police department. With 100 officers in the department and 30 civilian positions, workspace is hard to come by. Due to the limitations in space, the roll call room, break room and police lockers were moved out to a pole barn type building which is set behind the primary building. The structure has no running water, no bathrooms or air conditioning. The building itself was becoming structurally in need of major improvements and rodents became an increasing problem. The large flat roof is very old and often leaks. Some officers need to cover their desks each night with plastic tarps to protect important files.

Since the 1970’s Greece Police Headquarters has been located in this building on Island Cottage Road.

Greece, is a suburban town larger than most cities. As the population grows arrests also increase making the current two small holding cells difficult to manage safely. Police Chief Pat Phelan hoped for a professional headquarters where the officers could work efficiently and safely in a functional work place. He feels having a functional continued on page 23

How Will Social Security Fit into Your Retirement Income Strategy? Have you given much thought to collecting Social Security? The answer probably depends on how old you are - but whatever your age, you’ll want to consider the best way of incorporating Social Security benefits into your retirement income strategy. Of course, if you have several decades to go until you retire, you might be wondering if Social Security will even be there for you at all. The basic issue is that the Social Security system is experiencing a sharply declining worker-tobeneficiary ratio. In plain English, this means that fewer workers are contributing to Social Security while the huge baby boom generation is retiring and taking money out. Still. Social Security has enough money to pay full retirement benefits to every eligible American until 2038, according to the Congressional Budget Office. After that point, benefits would have to be reduced unless changes are made to the Social Security system. And several changes have indeed been proposed. Given that we do have nearly 25 years until benefit cuts may need to be made, it seems reasonable that some type of solution could be reached to put Social Security back on solid ground. In any case, when thinking about your retirement income, you need to focus on those things that you can control - such as when to start taking Social Security and how you can supplement your Social Security benefits. Depending on when you were born, your “full” retirement age, as far as collecting Social Security benefits, is likely either 66 or 67. You can start getting your checks as early as 62, but if you do, your monthly payments could be reduced by as much as 30% - and this reduction is permanent. Consequently, if you can support your lifestyle from other sources of income - such as earnings from employment and withdrawal from your IRA and 401(k) - you may want to postpone taking Social Security until you reach your full retirement age. In fact, you can get even bigger monthly checks if you delay taking your benefits beyond your full retirement age, although your payments will “max out” once you reach 70. Keep in mind, though, that other factors, such as your anticipated longevity, should also enter into your calculations in considering when to take Social Security. As mentioned above, your retirement income may also include withdrawals from retirement accounts, such as an IRA and a 401(k), along with other investments, such as fixed annuity. And these other accounts are quite important, because Social Security provides, on average, only about 40% of retirement income for the average 65-year-old today. Consequently, in the years and decades before you retire, contribute as much as you can possibly afford to these other accounts. Given the advances in medical care and the greater awareness of healthy lifestyles, people are living longer than ever - which means you could spend two or even three, decades in retirement. To enjoy those years fully, you’ll need adequate income. By planning ahead, you can determine how best to fit Social Security into your retirement income strategy. Every move you make to help “secure” your retirement can pay off for you in the long run. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

I love listening to music while I work out, but how loud is too loud? Blaring our favorite artist during a killer workout makes working out much more enjoyable. However, we all know that listening to music at maximum volumes is bad for our ears. Follow the 60/10 Rule. For every 60 minutes of listening, you should be giving your ears 10 minutes of quiet. Next, try not to exceed 60-75% maximum volume. If you have to turn it up for your favorite song, remember to turn it back down when the song is over. The style of the headphones is also very important. Change to the type that fit over the ear, they block out sounds and allow the same perceived loudness at less intense levels. Lastly, use your device settings to limit the maximum volume. This is great for parents because they can lock the settings with a code preventing the child from having access to change the limit.

community. There will be a private room where a person environment is an important part of the professionalism he can discreetly get help, file a report or give an interview, requires his officers to emulate. Finally his wish is coming something that the current headquarters does not have. The new building will have a secure evidence room, a true. training facility and interrogation room. In addition the The new 30,000 sq. ft. Greece Police Headquarters is cennew headquarters will be easy to access, it will also be trally located at the Greece Town Campus on Vince Tofany much safer for processing arrests. There will be a sally port Blvd., Greece. “The facility will be easy to find and very garage that provides a secure area where officers can pull identifiable by being geographically centered in the Town,” into with prisoners. After entering the sally port the officer according to Phelan. There will be a reception area staffed can close and lock the garage door. This will prevent prisonby a desk officer to greet and assist the members of the ers from attempting to flee or escape into the community. In addition to the sally port, there will be six individual Greece Police Chief Pat Phelan with holding cells and one large group cell that can hold up to rendering of the new Headquarters six prisoners. Building scheduled to open in 2017. An exciting addition to this project is a memorial that will be built in front of the station. This memorial will have the names engraved of every fallen officer in the line of duty in New York State. A special foundation is being created to help raise funds for the Fallen Officer Memorial. If you are interested in being part of this foundation please contact Chief Phelan’s office directly. Ground breaking for the new facility was held on January 20, 2016 and construction is anticipated to be complete by early 2017. continued from page 21

DRIVER’S LICENSE continued from page 19

Dixie’s life really hadn’t been bad. It was just a nothing remarkable blah life. She wanted something more. Something more than the dead end job she had as a cashier at The Dollar Store. Something better than her loser boyfriend with the purple dyed hair who played in a loser band at the bar every weekend and slept all day. She loved her Mom and Dad and her younger brothers, Owen and Gabriel, but her parents expected so much of her. She had to mow the lawn and stack bundles of firewood next to the garage. She had to do all the laundry and help her father

power wash the deck. Worst of all was that they enforced a curfew and she wasn’t a kid anymore. She was twenty years old! And her brothers! They were always fighting or running around like apes and climbing all over the furniture. They did devilish things like hiding chicken bones under her pillow or stuffing her purse with raw cookie dough. She just couldn’t stand it anymore! Change was what she needed: excitement, adventure, independence! So change was what she was going to get. Life was a gamble wasn’t it? She was flying down the road, her azure blue Jetta matching the blue of the sky.
