Eagle Scout Recognition Proclamation and Medal Awarded On October 19, 2021, Greece Town Supervisor Bill Reilich was joined by Matthew Mastowski for an official Eagle Scout Award Presentation Ceremony. The Town of Greece Eagle Scout Recognition Medal is presented to all Boy Scouts who have recently achieved the rank of Eagle Scout in their local troop.

“It is an honor for me to present proclamations and medals to the hard working and determined young men who have shown that commitment and perseverance lead to success,” said Supervisor Bill Reilich. “This afternoon, I had the privilege of presenting a proclamation and medal to Matthew Mastowski who has recently achieved the rank of Eagle Scout in Troop Number 18.

For his Eagle Scout Project, Matthew decided to pursue a project that would benefit the children who visited YMCA Camp Northpoint. Matthew wanted to choose a project where he was able to build something – and he was able to do just that with this project. Matthew built benches and a TV communication stand at YMCA Camp Northpoint. Thank you, Matthew, for choosing a project that helped enhance the experience of children attending YMCA Camp Northpoint”.

The Boy Scouts of America, one of the United States largest youth organizations, is dedicated to promoting self-reliance, courage, and patriotism among young men. The Eagle Scout Award is attained after countless hours of hard work, sacrifice, and dedication to the scouting creed. For more information on the Boy Scouts of America, please visit their webpage www. scouting.org.

Health Benefits of Contrast Showers

by Tami Raco, Personal Trainer, Health & Nutrition Coach

Contrast showers are defined as, the act of quickly changing body temperatures from hot to cold, and back again, by alternating between hot and cold water. This technique has been used for decades by athletes. Contrast Showers can provide many health benefits to your circulation, immune system, organ function and give your parasympathetic nervous system a boost.

Benefits of contrast showers are: •Boost immune system: Studies have shown that switching between hot and cold water helps boost the immune system function by increasing the number of disease fighting immune system cells in your body called monocytes. This is believed to happen by the stimulation of the cold-water exposure.

•Increase circulation: The contrast temps increase circulation by triggering your heart to send more blood to the vital organs.

Over time this forces the circulatory system to become more efficient and adaptable.

•Prevent or reduce muscle soreness: One of the most immediate benefits of contrast showers is the preventing of exercise related soreness or injuries. Exposure to the hot and cold water helps reduce inflammation and better blood flow to the tissues.

•May reduce depression: The increased blood flow to the brain can increase endorphins and other important hormones to the brain to reduce depression and create a pain-relieving effect.

How do you take a contrast shower?

Shower in the warm/hot water for 3-5 minutes followed by 1 minute of the coolest water you can manage. Repeat this cycle 3-5 times making sure you finish with cold water. The larger the temperature contrast the better for maximum benefits. www.thewellmessministry.com

From Refugee to Selfless, Serving Veteran

by Tami Raco

Veterans Day is a day to be mindful of the bravery and heroism of the men and women who have served our country. It is a day where we are reminded to show our gratitude and respect for those who have served in the United States Armed Forces.

Greece resident, Olga Koprivcevic-Ocholi, started her life very differently than what most U.S. veterans experience. Her childhood was spent fleeing the terror of Hitler’s regime. She was born in Sarajevo, Bosnia, in 1943, and early in her childhood, the Nazi factions came into her town to seize and kill. The Nazis murdered her father and uncles, and her grandfather was placed in a concentration camp for protecting Jewish residents of a nearby community. Most of her family was murdered as the Nazi factions stormed Sarajevo to conquer and kill Jews and Jewish sympathizers.

Right before Olga escaped Bosnia, a bombing airstrike took place. Her grandmother hid Olga and her mother in the basement, covering her just as a bomb landed nearby. Miraculously it never detonated. “Angels were definitely looking out for them,”

Olga as a little girl is wearing the traditional Austrian clothing (drindle).

Olga and her grandmother after they escaped Bosnia. It’s in Salfelden - a refugee relocation camp in Austria.

said Kristina Ocholi, Olga’s daughter. Olga, her mother, and grandmother took the last train out of Bosnia, fleeing for their lives as they went into hiding in the Austrian Alps until World War II ended. They were placed in refugee relocation camps, and Olga’s mother, who spoke eight languages fluently, became a U.S. translator.

Her work translating Yiddish afforded the family the opportunity to be sponsored by an American Colonel to come to the U.S. to start a new life with freedoms and safety at a time when the borders were closed to immigration.

When Olga was seven years old, the three generations of women came to America. They lived on a farm in Cornwall, Connecticut. The women were housekeepers on the farm. “It was a beautiful place to live,” said Olga as she reflected. Her mom eventually married the farm foreman, and they relocated to another farm near Ithaca, New York.

Olga went to High School in Ithaca and had dreams of attending Cornell University to be a veterinarian, but her family could not afford it. She received a scholarship to attend nursing school.

Olga spent a year at the University of Rochester, a year in New York City, then worked a year as a psychiatric nurse at Willard Asylum for the Chronic Insane. “It was barbaric working there,” Olga recalled. Having witnessed the brutal treatment of patients continued on page 17

Greece News November/December 2021 17

Olga teaching a class to the Corpsmen. continued from page 16

in that facility, Olga decided to leave that type of nursing. She went to New York University Medical Center, where she worked for five years.

After losing some friends in the military during the Vietnam War, Olga decided to use her nursing skills to show her gratitude to America for allowing her citizenship. She willingly enlisted in the United States Army in 1970, at a time many were being drafted involuntarily to serve. “My desire was to pay back this country for adopting me,” Olga said. She was grateful for those who saved her life by helping her escape the horrors of her childhood and for America giving her a chance to live in a free country. “Serving during the Vietnam War was my way of saying thanks,” Olga said.

In the Army, Olga’s job was working with the Army Nurses Corps. Having a college degree allowed her to enlist as an officer, First Lieutenant. She went through basic training in San Antonio, Texas, and soon deployed to NATO Belgium. She served as a nurse at a hospital in Brussels that provided medical care to all NATO nations who had servicemen and women injured in Vietnam.

Olga’s military tour brought her to the same region she fled from as a little girl. She was promoted to Captain and traveled through Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands. Olga unexpectedly found the gift of reconciliation with her traumatic childhood while serving the country she wanted to thank.

During her deployment, she visited many areas throughout the region. She visited wooded areas and remote locations where she was stowed away as a child. She revisited a place she lived where she remembered having makeshift walls, consisting of a rope and a blanket. She toured a place where she once lived that

was later converted into military barracks. This time Olga could walk through these locations, not as a little refugee girl hiding for her life, but as a free American there to help others. “I enlisted to help others, and I never expected to receive the reconciliation and healing from my own childhood,” she said.

Serving in the U.S. Army helped her not only make peace with her past but to develop focus and discipline as well. It gave her a chance to see the world from a different perspective – as a person who was giving help rather than needing help as she had as a child.

Olga returned to the family farm after her enlistment ended.

She eventually moved to the Rochester area to attend college.

tending college at St. John Fisher. She later transferred to SUNY Brockport, where she met her husband, Justus Ocholi, an international student from Kenya. He was at the school attending classes and teaching Swahili. He asked Olga to help him type his papers, and their friendship eventually bloomed into a marriage and family. They settled in the Rochester area and had a son Vincent and daughter Kristina.

Olga relocated to Greece, where she finished out her nursing career helping those struggling with addiction at the Chemical Dependency Unit at Unity Hospital. She retired in 2010.

Olga is now a grandmother of seven. “I am relaxing and spending time on what I enjoy, my family.” The traumatic start to Olga’s life, fleeing Nazism and escaping the bloodshed by the Nazi government, allowed her to experience the remarkable kindness of strangers. “So much help was given to us, and that allowed us to survive. We moved a lot and were incognito, and so many helped to bring us to safety and then to America.”

Olga learned that being wealthy did not make people happy.

“Giving and helping others, no matter how much or how little you have, and treating them humanely is the true value of life,” she said. That message, imprinted across Olga’s lifetime, has also been imprinted on her family as she modestly spent her career caring for others.

“My mom has been through so much in fleeing her home and coming to America as a refugee and then serving during the Vietnam War by choice. She is my greatest role model, as a humble servant, always giving of herself and never wanting any credit.

The greatest teacher of my life is watching how my mom has lived hers,” Kristina said.

Progress made with The Skate Park Project Earlier this year, it was announced that the Town of Greece is in the process of seeking a grant from The Skatepark Project.

A detailed plan for a new Skate Park in the Town of Greece has been developed. This plan included ensuring the town had an appropriate location, engaging with a local architect to discuss size, options, feasibility, and potential layout. Additionally, the town has been reviewing the grant rules and stipulations to be certain the plan adheres to all application guidelines.

“I am thrilled to announce that our grant application for a new Skate Park in the Town of Greece is moving forward!” said Supervisor Reilich. “The grant process is heavily driven by community support and engagement. Many community members have personally reached out to me expressing their desire for a skate park that would help build healthy and active lifestyles. After being selected for the first round of applications, the Town of Greece was officially invited by the Skatepark Project to apply for funds to build a skate park. The Town of Greece was actually one of only a few towns from a 16 county region asked to apply. I would like to take this exciting announcement and opportunity to ask you – our skate park community – for your input through a letter of support to assist us in our grant application. If you are interested in submitting a letter of support that would help ensure that we receive the grant, please contact our Parks and Recreation Department at greeceparksandrec@greeceny.gov”.

Founded in 2002 as the Tony Hawk Foundation and later renamed The Skatepark Project, this organization has contributed

funding and built over 600 skate parks worldwide. The mission of The Skatepark Project is to develop quality places to practice the sport of skateboarding and provide a healthy outlet and recreational challenge to like-minded individuals. To date, 575 recipients of the The Skatepark Project grants have opened their skate parks. These parks receive more than six million visits annual by youth who benefit from the active lifestyle and camaraderie the facility promotes.

Greece Historical Society News Greece Historical Society Program “Pioneer Families of the Town of Greece” by Marie Poinan Tuesday, November 9, 2021 • 7-8:30PM Greece Public Library • Welsh Room Greece became a town back in 1822 and will be celebrating its 200th birthday in 2022. This Bicentennial program by Marie Poinan will chronicle many of the earliest pioneer families who settled in Greece from 1792-1872. The vignettes will include photos and stories that have been shared by the descendants of these early families and have been included in a new publication by the Greece HistoriMarie Poinan cal Society.

Marie Poinan is an active member of the Greece Historical Society and the Charlotte Genesee Lighthouse.

She has written several booklets on local history and regularly conducts history programs at the Charlotte branch.

RESERVATION REQUIRED AS SPACE IS LIMITED TO 60 To register go to https://www.greecepubliclibrary.org/events/ calendar, then click on November 9.

New Book from the Greece Historical Society Pioneer Families of the Town of Greece, Volume 1 In celebration of the Bicentennial of the Town of Greece in 2022, the Greece Historical Society is honoring the families who settled in the area before 1872. Their new book contains vignettes and photos that highlights each family’s contribution to the town. It has been written by Marie Villone Poinan and Jo Ann Ward Snyder

with input from descendants of each of these families. The book is now available for pre-order and will be available in time to give as a holiday gift.

Volume 2 will be coming out in the Spring of 2022 with additional families.

Visit the society’s website (www.greecehistoricalsociety.org) to pre-order your copy on or before November 29th and pick up before the holidays. After that date, the book will be available in the museum gift shop or it can be ordered from Amazon on their website when it becomes available in mid-December.

Greece Town Board Highlights Tentative 2022 Budget The Greece Town Board highlighted their 2022 Budget on October 21, 2021, at the Town Board Meeting.

The 2022 Budget will again decrease the town tax rate this year. The new town tax rate will be lowered by $0.16, bringing the rate down to $5.99 per thousand of assessed value. This will be the largest decrease proposed, and an affirmation of the fiscal stability of the town.

Having recently received a “0” rating from the NYS Comptroller on the Fiscal Stress Scale was another major milestone. A zero rating means there are no signs of fiscal stress attributed to the Town of Greece. As an example of the significance of this accomplishment, the Comptrollers begin to monitor any government entity who approaches a score of 40-45 on the scale. A level of 40 and above is when the Comptroller’s Office begins to moni-

tor the direction of stress on the community’s budget. A rating of zero is something to be very proud of, especially as we continue to navigate the negative effects the COVID-19 pandemic has caused both economically and for many on a personal level as well.

Additionally, there is always the debate of tax rate versus levy. For the first time in over 32 years, the tax levy has gone down.

This year, the Town of Greece Tax Levy will decrease by $326,725. Also, the Town of Greece is over $1.8M below the state regulated Tax Cap. The Town Budget is available for public viewing, and the Town Board will accept comments from the public. The Tentative Budget is scheduled to be voted on in November.

Natives offer an array of fall color

by Kristina Gabalski

Trees often get all the attention for providing autumn color, but native perennial flowers also provide interest and beauty to your fall landscape. Native plants are an excellent choice for your garden because they typically thrive with less water, fertilization, and disease control and provide food sources for native insects and birds at a time when they are in particular need of extra nutrition. Many natives re-seed themselves as well, providing a great resource for new plants.

Penn State Extension suggests plants such as Joe Pye weed (Eutrochium purpureum) which has lovely blossoms of purplishpink that bloom through September. Cardinal-flower (Lobelia cardinalis) has bright red blooms on spikes. It grows one to four feet tall and provides nectar for pollinators, including hummingbirds. Both New York ironweed (Vernonia noveboracensis) and Culver’s root (Veronicastrum virginicum) grow to six feet tall.

New York ironweed features bright purple flowers, and Culver’s root has long plumes of white flowers.

Mountain mints (Pycnanthemum spp.) are a group of aromatic plants highly attractive to pollinators but not to deer. They produce small pinkish-white flowers through September. Goldenrods (Solidago spp.), a common roadside flower, also come in a variety of cultivars for the home garden. The bright yellow blooms are drought tolerant, deer resistant, and an excellent nectar source.

Goldenrods range from one to four feet tall, and some varieties bloom right through until frost. Asters (Symphyotrichum spp.) are also a common sight at this time of year. New York aster (S. novi-belgii) and New England aster (S. novae-angliae) both have bright purple flowers that grow well in full sun.

Cornell University adds natives such as Perennial Sunflower, Turtlehead, Bush Sage, Anise Hyssop, and Witch Hazel to the list.

Additionally, many perennials, whether native or not, produce beautiful autumn color and seed heads for birds. Catmint, ‘Walker’s Low’ (Nepeta racemosa), as well as tickseed (Coreopsis spp.), salvias, ‘Fiesta del Sol’ Mexican sunflower (Tithonia rotundifolia), and hardy geraniums bloom until frost. Don’t forget about sedum varieties such as ‘Autumn Joy’ and ‘Autumn Fire,’ which provide color all fall and interest well into the winter. My sedums are a draw for bees and other pollinators throughout the

From the office of The Supervisor, Bill Reilich It’s difficult to believe that winter is just around the corner! That being said, I would like to remind residents of our Winter Parking Ordinance, which is enforced November 1 thru April 15 from midnight to 8:00am.

This allows for safer and more effective plowing and salting of dedicated town streets and helps keep the cost of snow removal down, saving tax dollars for our residents.

I was pleased to partner with Monroe County this month to hold a Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event in our town. We know residents appreciate having the convenient location of the Town of Greece Department of Public Works Facility to safely dispose of waste. The Household Hazardous

autumn when other nectar sources can dry up.

Even seed heads can add interest to the fall garden. Coneflowers (Echinacea) are finished blooming, but their tall seed heads add structure to the garden and beckon to goldfinches who love their seeds. Salvias and hyssops also provide seed heads which the birds enjoy. Rose hips add color and interest into the fall, and ball-shaped seed heads of rudbeckia add exclamation points to your plantings as well as feed the birds.

Both perennials and annuals can provide foliage color. Coleus now comes in a huge range of leaf colors, shapes, and sizes. Heucheras are native plants that provide pops of foliage color in a lightly shaded garden. Colors range from a stainless steel grey to burgundy, rose, chartreuse, and coral. They also make interesting additions to fall cut-flower arrangements.

Autumn is a spectacular time of year, and your entire landscape can be full of color and interest as the growing season winds down and the late-year sun angle brightens the world with its golden glow.

Waste drop-off event at our DPW went very well. We had over 330 appointments, with our staff and elected officials assisting residents with recycling a variety of household hazardous items.

This past month, I had the honor of presenting a proclamation and medal to a local Boy Scout who recently achieved Eagle Scout ranking. Congratulations to Matthew Mastowski from Troop Number 18. For his Eagle Scout Project, Matthew decided to pursue a project that would benefit the children who visited YMCA Camp Northpoint. Matthew wanted to choose a project where he was able to build something – and he was able to do just that with this project. Matthew built benches and a TV communication stand at YMCA Camp Northpoint.

I would like to invite you to follow my Facebook page: Bill Reilich Greece Town Supervisor. Factual information and town-related updates are posted to this page regularly. Stay safe and healthy, Greece!

Collection has begun for Matt’s Coats for Kids Matthew J. Fitton was a son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend to everyone he met. Those who knew him say his greatest quality was his heart and the love and friendship that he shared with others. Matt died in 2003 at age 20 as the result of a car accident.

Matt’s Coats for Kids is an organization started by Matt’s family and friends. Its goal is to keep the good feelings that Matt shared by helping people. Since 2004, Matt’s Coats for Kids has collected and distributed over 10,321 coats donated by area communities for those in need.

In 2016, the effort expanded to honor Giana Bartolucci and has collected and distributed over 643 pairs of new mittens and gloves.

The organization began collecting new socks in 2017 in memory of Everett Bauch, Matt’s grandfather. To date, 625 pairs have been collected and donated to the area’s homeless. Since Matt’s grandmother, Eleanor B. Bauch, died in June 2021, socks will now be collected in memory of both grandparents who supported the organization’s efforts for many years.

Donations of new and gently used coats, new mittens, gloves, and hats, and new socks will be collected through November 16th at various locations throughout the area, including: GREECE •Howard Hanna Greece, 2833 West Ridge Road, Suite 3 •Legacy at Maiden Park, 749 Maiden Lane •Legacy at Park Crescent, 1000 Providence Circle •Town of Greece, Community and Senior Center, 1 Vince Tofany Boulevard.

A unique concert experience at the Strasenburgh Planetarium The Rochester Museum & Science Center (RMSC) teamed up with Rochester-based funk-jazz-electronic musical ensemble Vanishing Sun to create a new and unique show for the community. The product of this collaboration is Vanishing Sun: Impressions of the Infinite, a fusion of the cosmic grandeur of a star show and the energy and spontaneity of a live music concert.

Vanishing Sun: Impressions of the Infinite is a live concert series that will premiere at the Strasenburgh Planetarium on Friday, November 12, and Saturday, November 13. There will be one show daily at 7 p.m. Doors will open at 6 p.m. The lobby will be open one hour before each show.

This community collaboration was born when Steve Fentress, Planetarium Director, saw Vanishing Sun perform at the Rochester International Jazz Festival. Fentress was attracted to the band’s unique sound quality and knew he had to see them perform in the Planetarium.

“The Planetarium dome is a mathematical ideal; it’s the eye, it’s the cranium, it’s the cosmos. With the new renovations, we can now go to the edge, with music and visual effects composed together to make a completely new experience,” said Fentress, discussing the benefits of the new full-dome projection system

and upgraded floor plan that allows for removable seating.

The new technology and flexibility provided the capability to host a concert, and all that was left to do was recruit the band and start planning. Vanishing Sun was just as eager to collaborate as Fentress was.

Ian Sherman, keyboardist and bandleader for Vanishing Sun, described this collaboration as “an amazing opportunity to create without preconception and craft a unique experience for the audience.” As the band’s composer, he worked closely with Fentress to organize this event.

“This is exactly the sort of thing that we love to do with Vanishing Sun. The possibilities are almost endless, and we can’t wait to debut the work here in our hometown of Rochester,” said Sherman.

The original performance was scheduled for March 2020 but was postponed due to the pandemic.

Tickets for Vanishing Sun: Impressions of the Infinite are $18 in advance and $20 at the door. Proof of vaccination is required for entry.
