Spencerport grad Gail Mann among nation’s top women’s soccer coaches

by Warren Kozireski Gail Mann was indoctrinated into the Spencerport soccer culture in the early 1980s and has made a career in the game. Now in her 28th season as Nazareth’s women’s soccer coach, she is the college’s longest-tenured coach.

Among active coaches, she ranks tied for 43rd all-time in Division III in winning percentage (.672) and tied for 18th in wins (325).

It all started in the blue and gold where Mann excelled in soccer, basketball, and softball.

“Spencerport was soccer town when I was growing up,” Mann said via email. “Jim Gentile, one of the best players on the boys team at the time, was my neighbor.

I loved soccer and attended many of the varsity games when I was younger. My best memories of soccer there is an easy question. Playing on the best field in Rochester!

The natural grass field with the trees surrounding it was beautiful in the fall. Playing under the lights on that field was an amazing experience.”

Then it was off to SUNY Cortland where she was a starting striker on the 1986 team that reached the Division III Final Four among other accolades.

Fellow Spencerport grad Joan Schockow was three years ahead of Mann at Cortland and the two would form a lifetime bond.

“The summer before Gail entered her freshman year at Cortland, we happened to play in the same summer softball league up on Ridgeway (now Kimball) Park,” Schockow recalled. “Someone mentioned there was a girl attending Cortland in the fall and trying out for soccer who graduated from Spencerport. Of course, that spurred my curiosity, so I wanted to meet her. We started to chat after games in the clubhouse and then when she made the Cortland JV team in the fall, we continued to chat and shared rides back home and such.”

After graduating from Cortland, Mann accepted an assistant coach position with Schockow, who was the head coach at SUNY Brockport and launched her now-lengthy coaching career.

“Eventually from ride sharing and being college teammates, we became close friends,” Schockow said. “We stayed close after graduation and actually became best friends, something that we are even almost 40 years later! Therefore, when I was hired at Brockport, she was

“I owe Joan everything, she gave me my start at SUNY Brockport as her assistant coach back in 1988,” Mann said. “She also asked me to be her assistant with NY West ODP. We had the opportunity to coach some great players from western New York, including Abby Wambach and Casey Zimney.

“I was fortunate to have that opportunity because it gave me access to all the best players in western New York. Many of these players obviously went on to play at the Division 1 level, however I was able to recruit a few to Nazareth including All-Greater-Rochester player of the year Michelle Urbanski in 1996.

“We (Joan and I) played together one year and then she was an assistant coach my sophomore and junior years.

We played club soccer and Empire state games for many years and became best friends. She was the best keeper in the country in those days.”

Fast-forward 28 years. Mann has had 26 consecutive winning seasons while coaching 65 regional All-Americans and nine national All-Americans. In addition, Nazareth has either shared or won outright the Empire 8 Conference title 11 times since 1999.

Mann secured her 300th coaching win with a 4-0 win over Utica in September of 2017 passing her mentor Schockow, who retired with 299. Her 27-year coaching record of 325144 ranks among the top active coaches in Division III. She has a record of 122-19-14 (.832) in conference games.

“I had no doubt that she would surpass my wins record,” Schockow said. “It was inevitable with her soccer IQ and her tremendous work ethic, especially with recruiting.”

In 2015, Mann was honored by the Rochester PressRadio Club with the Jean Giambrone Community Service Award that is presented annually to a local person who has made an exemplary lifetime commitment to Rochester-area women’s sports.

COVID postponed the Golden Flyers fall season, but they hope to pick up their delayed schedule in March and April. It has also greatly affected recruitment.

“This pandemic has been difficult to manage, however this will eventually pass and we will get back to some sense of normalcy,” Mann said. “It is by no means the hardest thing I have had to overcome. We lost a beautiful teammate back in 2000, Emily Haskins, and that was by far the worst thing I have ever had to overcome. I cry on the date of her death each year and I always will.

“Recruiting has been a bit more challenging, however many clubs have been filming scrimmages and friendlies. I spend a lot of time watching games online. It is not the same but it works for now. Nazareth is open for in-person tours so many prospects have visited and met with me to discuss the program and tour the campus and athletic facilities.

“I believe touring a campus and meeting the coach is one of the most important things a prospect can do. It is so important to make a connection with the coach and see yourself belonging on a campus. When prospects visit Naz they are surprised and impressed with our campus.

We are very fortunate to have the best grass stadium and indoor training space in Rochester.”

Despite the years of continued success, Mann remains humble and focused on the big picture, but still has the competitive edge she has used to gain and maintain success throughout her career.

“I can honestly tell you I have no idea how many games I have won,” Mann said. “I do not coach to win games, I coach to build relationships. I believe winning is a byproduct of your culture.

“We teach values like hard work, accountability, commitment, gratitude and GRIT. We believe in holding each other to a higher standard. Our goal is not to win, it is to become the best version of ourselves so that we can compete at the highest level.

“My success is measured in my players and alums knowing that I love them and would do anything for them. When I see them go on to become successful in their careers and personal lives, that is when I feel successful.”

2 Westside News East and West Editions - January 17, 2021 Spencerport Kiwanis supports Willie Bee Foundation with Pineway Ponds 5K proceeds The Kiwanis Club of Spencerport partnered with Ogden Recreation Department to hold the annual Pineway Ponds 5K. In this photo Andrea Hansen, Director of Ogden Parks and Recreation gives the check representing the Kiwanis share of the proceeds to Dominic Agostini, chair of the 5K for the Kiwanis Club. The two organizations split over $6,000 in 2020, the largest amount ever recorded for the 5K.

Crafting classroom lessons with an anti-racist lens

H

SEEKING CANDIDATES

New instruction centered on equity underway for Monroe County schools As the United States continues to experience an increase in social-justice movements and demonstrations across the country, local school leaders have recognized the necessity to engage students in rich learning experiences about Rochester’s history with issues of equity and social justice.

The development of new anti-racist instruction is currently underway at the Center for Urban Education Success (CUES) at the University of Rochester’s Warner School of Education, in conjunction with school districts and community partners, and will be implemented in Monroe County classrooms as early as this spring, beginning with grades 8, 11, and 12 and aligning with the U.S. history curricula and New York State standards. The team of university educators, Monroe County teachers and administrators, and Monroe One BOCES and Monroe 2-Orleans BOCES personnel, is building the instruction to explore Rochester’s troubled history with race relations, using the context of the 1964 uprising to current day.

This robust anti-racist instruction will be new to school districts across Monroe County. Following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis in May, Shaun Nelms, associate professor and Director of CUES at the Warner School and superintendent of East High School, challenged all Monroe County superintendents to use common instruction that would cover the civil unrest, segregation, and racism of Rochester from the 1960s to present day. The Monroe County Council of Superintendents welcomed and accepted the challenge.

“With the support of school superintendents, these efforts will ensure that every child in Monroe County, regardless of which public school they attend, will have access to rich learning experiences about race-based disparities in education, health care, housing, employment, and economic status from a Rochester lens, but also make sure students understand racism from a historical context,” says Nelms.

“It’s extremely important that we prepare kids to leave high school being able to have critical discussions about issues of equity and social justice without leading them in either direction. By giving them the tools and resources to be able to have balance and perspective on the values of all Americans, I believe that this anti-racist work will be one of the biggest impacts that CUES will have locally.”

In Monroe County, the city and suburbs are segregated by race and class - and its school district borders mirror and entrench these great divides. According to a 2020 EdBuild report, Rochester has the most economically segregated school district border in the nation, walling off the high-poverty education system from its affluent suburbs that surround the city. Rochester’s deep history of extreme segregation spans two centuries.

“The new instruction designed for all county schools will provide an opportunity for educators to talk with students about local history, why it exists, and how we can become a better community by understanding the past,” says East Lower School Principal Tanya Wilson, who is helping to

BCSD welcomes Equity and Inclusion Support Specialist Brockport Central School District has named Orlando Benzan as the district’s first Equity and Inclusion Support Specialist, a part-time position created to elevate and accelerate the district’s vision for inclusive excellence.

Mr. Benzan, currently a Brockport High School social studies teacher and teacher union president, begins his new additional assignment on February 1. While Mr. Benzan will be under the direction of the Office of Instruction, he will work closely with students, staff, families, administrators and community members to ensure that the district’s culture and climate is equitable and inclusive for all.

“I’m looking forward to applying my diverse life and educational experiences to Orlando Benzan help create a program that will foster the educational growth of our students and school community,” said Benzan.

The district will also be collaborating with area school districts through Monroe BOCES to further coordinate and advance its equitable and inclusive efforts.

“As a district, we are very grateful for the work that has been done thus far in our school community, but know there is more to do,” stated Superintendent Sean Bruno. “It is our collective responsibility to ensure that our campus is equitable and inclusive.”

lead this county-wide effort alongside Nelms. “This work aims to prepare students with a social justice lens, and ultimately groom a cadre of social activists and advocates in our community. I am truly inspired by the commitment of Monroe County schools as we continue to learn from one another and work together to create equitable schools.”

The team of educators will work together to implement culturally-responsive sustaining practices, which are grounded in Gloria Ladson-Billings’ early work on Culturally Relevant & Responsive Pedagogy (CRRP), to help lead and steer the county-wide initiative. It is a framework that recognizes the importance of leveraging students’ cultural references and experiences that are traditionally excluded from mainstream settings in all aspects of learning. It rests on three fundamental goals: teaching must yield academic success; teaching must help develop and sustain positive cultural identities; teaching must support students’ ability to recognize, understand, and critique inequities.

With the new county-wide initiative, all area teachers will have access to lessons focused on the historical and contemporary conditions of inequity. This equity-based, culturally-responsive work will help area students - both city and suburban - understand more about Rochester and its deep, long-standing history of segregation and disparity.

Warner School alumnus Quinton Mitchell, a seventhgrade social studies teacher at East, is one of the educators involved in the new county-wide initiative, which includes a mix of teachers and administrators from across Monroe County. This past summer, Monroe County school administrators convened for professional learning in preparation for the rollout of the new instruction in the spring. Similarly, opportunities continue to be offered to area teachers throughout the school year. After laying this groundwork for the anti-racist instruction, the team will begin fleshing out ideas around the impact of geography on race, wealth, education, housing, and health care, etc. and finally create assessments to measure students’ understanding.

“I think that the events of the past year may have pushed people to want to learn more about things they did not know, or maybe things they had a glimpse of in the past,” Mitchell says. “The time is right with everything taking place - I mean it’s not new, but the hope is that offering this to all Monroe County schools will help to improve outcomes for all, start the conversation, and to just take action.”

He adds that it will take a shared commitment to make this successful and sustainable across Monroe County.

“It’s going to take dedication and a desire - outside the people on this project - to introduce this to all schools across the county,” Mitchell adds. “We will just have to stay the course when things get tough, because otherwise, why else do it? We need to talk about why there is so much disparity in Rochester.”

BHS National Honor Society inducts new members The Brockport High School Chapter of the National Honor Society welcomed 47 new members during a virtual induction ceremony. The National Honor Society is the nation’s premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school students who have demonstrated excellence in scholarship, service, leadership, and character.

The virtual ceremony began with a welcome from BHS Principal Michael Pincelli, followed by opening comments from NHS advisers Patricia Arnold and Rebecca Barrett.

A keynote address was given by Elizabeth Masterson, the Head Women’s Soccer Coach at the Rochester Institute of Technology. After focusing on what the pillars meant to her, through her athletic lens, Masterson left students with the following challenge: “Instead of NHS being a transaction needed to get into a better college, what if it is part of your transformation as a leader? Instead of the community service you need in order to put it on your resume, what if you approach every service activity as an opening to really grow? After this, consider what you do and how you spend your time. Do you view it as a transaction; something to check the box? Or do you view it as something transformational; something you’re putting your whole self into and finding you have grown afterward?”

Current NHS officers also discussed the four pillars in which the NHS society

was built before announcing the inductees. After the induction, congratulatory messages were given by Superintendent Bruno, Board of Education President Terry Carbone, and many Brockport High School Administrators.

NHS officers delivered certificates and special treats to each of the new inductees and hopes to hold an in-person reception for all new members and their families in the near future. The NHS Virtual Induction Ceremony can be viewed on the BHS website.

The new Brockport High School National Honor Society inductees are: Hadeel Amireh, Allison Amoroso, Xavier Bauer, Leigha Brugger-Fields, Caleb Christiansen, Jenna Cring, Austin Davis, Heather Duell, Miles Dumas, Meghan Felice, Caitlyn Hamlin, Xia Hoffmann, Emma Hopsicker, Sydney Horn, Molly Howlett, Raegan Hughes, Madison Isenberg, Savanna Isenberg, Danielle Jewell-Wolf, Alyssa Kiener, Bradley Kleehammer, Dylan Kleehammer, Cameron Kluth, Tyler Kluth, Meaghan Leibert, Annabelle McGinnity, Cole Mesiti, Mackenzie Monnier, Joseph Nather, Nadia Nealon, Lily Panning, Indigo Pardun, Marianna Pryor, Zachary Richards, Jenna Rivera, Jayden Roberts, Megan Smith, Katlynn Sobolewski, Alexander Stoker, Delaney Szabo, Benjamin Toland, Kassidy Tully, Skyler Walsh, Leah Weinbeck, Jeffrey Xue, Xavier Zayas, and Jerry Zhang.

Villages of Brockport and Medina receive Erie Canalway IMPACT! Grants The Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor has announced that 13 non-profit organizations and municipalities will receive Erie Canalway IMPACT! Grants in 2021 totaling $108,787. The grants advance vital work to preserve and showcase canal heritage, educate youth, and welcome people to explore the canal in their local communities.

“As the pandemic continues to present abnormal challenges it is especially gratifying to support diverse canal inspired innovations. We are so pleased to make these

timely investments and contribute to the resilience of our canal communities,” said Bob Radliff, Executive Director of the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor has made 96 grants to communities and non-profit organizations since 2008 that have spurred $2.49 million in additional investments in heritage preservation, recreation, and education.

IMPACT! Grants are made possible with funding support provided by the National Park Service and the NYS Canal Corporation.

The Village of Brockport received an award of $4,830 to enhance Brockport’s self-guided walking tour by upgrading

tour materials and interpretive panels, and the Village of Medina received an award of $10,500 to develop and install an ADA accessible kayak launch located on the Erie Canal in the heart of downtown Medina.

The Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor preserves our canal heritage, promotes the corridor as a world-class tourism destination, and fosters vibrant communities connected by more than 500 miles of waterway. It achieves its mission in partnership with the National Park Service, New York State agencies, non-profit organizations, local residents, and more than 200 communities across the full expanse of upstate New York.

Beagles and bunnies

by T.R. Hendrick For those of us who would rather pursue fin or fur than sit indoors and stare at screens of various sizes, this is a tough time of year. There is too much ice to launch a boat but not enough to ice fish. Almost all New York hunting seasons are now closed, and this depressing grey weather makes my daily sunbathing out of the question.

Thankfully, cottontail rabbit season is one that remains open. Cottontail season is the longest of all New York hunting seasons, stretching from October 1 through the end of February.

Now that the deer hunters are out of the woods, rabbit hunters can get out there with their beagles without worrying about their dogs or themselves getting shot by a deer hunter. This is a sad statement, but true. I don’t mean to paint all the deer gun hunters as numbskulls, but the one percent that are is enough to keep every rabbit hunter I know well out of the field until the orange army is back on the couch.

Cottontails can be hunted by kicking brush piles, hoping to flush one out for a quick shot, or you can pursue them with beagles. Both methods can be successful, but the anticipation of a howling beagle heading your way in hot purist of his nemesis, that wascally wabbit, is hard to beat.

The fun begins when a beagle jumps a rabbit, usually in thick cover. The dog will start howling as it sight-chases the bunny.

The beagle will soon lose visual of the rabbit, but its nose will allow it to stay on the trail, barking with excitement as it does.

As a hunter, your job is to get close to the spot where the dog first jumped the rabbit and wait silently. If the beagle keeps up the chase without losing the scent, the rabbit will circle back to the jump site, not wanting to leave its home range. In most cases, the bunny will be moving slowly as it hops and listens for the hounds on its track. The rabbit will usually be a good 50 yards ahead of the pursuing dog, so if you stay quiet and watch closely for the returning bunny, you should get an easy shot.

All that being said, hunting with these charming little hounds can be a rollercoaster ride. Don’t get me wrong, beagles have

friendly, happy personalities, but don’t be fooled. Those innocent-looking little dogs are a species of hound, and hound dogs hunt for themselves. Unlike bird dogs that hunt for their owners, a hound could care less if you are with him or not. Once they strike a hot scent, they’re gone. They are genetically forced to follow the track at all costs. I believe that a beagle on a hot rabbit track would follow the scent off a cliff if that’s where the rabbit went.

The biggest concern for any beagler is the chance their dog or dogs will run a deer rather than a rabbit. This usually happens when you take a young, excited beagle to a spot with few rabbits and many deer. It’s just a matter of time before the dog jumps a deer, and most can’t resist chasing this big brown animal that is leaving all this scent. This can be a major problem because deer don’t circle back as a rabbit does. They will run straight away from the howling hound, crossing roads and fences without a thought. This usually leads to losing your dog or, even worse, having it hit by a car.

I have had both happen to my beagles over the years.

Over the last decade, there have been huge breakthroughs for anybody that hunts with hounds, be it beagles, coon, fox, or coyote dog, with the advent of GPS tracking collars. With these collars, you will know exactly where your dog is at all times. Similar to the GPS in your car, these handheld units will show you where your dog is on a screen displaying a downloaded map of your location.

If you are interested in owning a beagle and don’t know of anyone to ask for advice, there is the Pioneer Beagle Club in LeRoy at 1710 Flint Hill Road. Their clubhouse is located just outside of Mumford, across from the Genesee Country Village and Museum. They have 100 acres of fencedin running ground. Club members can put you on the right track towards acquiring a beagle, be it a trained dog or a puppy.

If you make the jump into the world of beagling, hang on to your orange hat. You’ll be in for a heck of a roller coaster ride, but like a roller coaster ride, when it is over, you will be smiling and yelling, “Let’s go again!”

There is no better way to spend a snowy winter’s day than chasing bunnies with beagles. Mark Powley and Jim Miller head out with Tinker and Misty to do just that. Provided photo.

Plans are being finalized to commence needed maintenance work on the NY Route 237 bridge deck over the Erie Canal in the town of Murray. The work will be completed either this year or in 2022 depending on public safety factors and contractor resource availability. The bridge will need to be closed for six weeks as maintenance work takes place, at which point a detour will be established directing motorists to use Rt. 31, Rt. 387, and Rt. 104.

When the project begins, real-time traffic and construction updates can be found by visiting www.511ny.org.

“This maintenance work will help insure this bridge continues to safely serve our community for decades to come, and I am grateful to everybody at the Department of Transportation involved in making this much-needed project a reality,” said Assemblyman Steve Hawley (R,C,IBatavia).

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen named Hickok Belt® Award Winner for December 2020

Josh Allen

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has been named the Hickok Belt® Award winner for December 2020. Voting was conducted by a select panel of members of the National Sports Media Association (NSMA). The Buffalo Bills had an amazing December 2020 winning all four of their weekly games against the San Francisco 49ers, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Denver Broncos, and the New England Patriots. On December 19, the Bills crushed the Broncos with a 48-19 victory. In his third season with the Bills, Allen was flawless, completing 359 yards passing, 33 rushing yards, and four touchdowns, enabling the Bills to clinch the AFC East division title for the first time since 1995. He holds the single-season franchise record for passing yards. His improvement this season is a major part of the Buffalo Bills becoming Super Bowl contenders. Josh Allen’s rushing talent makes him an unstoppable “freight train.”

Other finalists for the month of December in order of how the NSMA ranked them were: Davante Adams (football), Aaron Jones (football), A Lim Kim (golf) and Saul Canelo Alvarez (boxing) – tie, James Harden (basketball), Bradley Beal (basketball), Devin White (football), Matt Fitzpatrick (golf), and Max Verstappen (auto racing).

Josh Allen’s selection as the Hickok Belt® Award winner for December recognizes him as “the best of the best” in professional sports for the month and makes him the ninth candidate eligible to receive the overall Hickok Belt® Award for 2020, joining Dustin Johnson (twice in 2020), LeBron James, Bryson DeChambeau, Donovan Mitchell, Jon Rahm, Tyson Fury, and Patrick Mahomes as contenders for the overall 2020 Hickok Belt® Award.

Valentine’s Day

Unlock the mystery of mushrooms with 4-H Fungi are not plants nor animals; they are a unique group of organisms in their own kingdom. Mystery surrounds this group. Yet, most of us interact with these organisms every single day and may not even know it. For their sometimes moldy reputation, we have many enjoyable things thanks to fungi - from bread to antibiotics to mushrooms and more.

The 4-H team at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Monroe County is holding two fungal-themed workshops this winter. Both workshops are geared towards youth ages five through 12. Those ages five to seven will need an adult present to participate. All are welcome to attend.

First up is “Fungal Friday: Fungi and Food” workshop on January 29 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Discover what exactly fungi are and the role they play in making foods we love. Yeast, single-celled fungal organisms, have been used by humans for thousands of years for baking and brewing endeavors.

Participants will investigate the role of yeast in baking through a hands-on bread-in-a-bag experiment. There is a $5 fee for each youth to participate in the workshop.

Registration closes on January 22. Families can register for this event at https://bit.ly/3i5D8gn.

“Mushroom Monday: Learn and Grow” workshop will be held on February 22 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. For centuries, humans have grown fungi and mushrooms for a variety of culinary and medicinal purposes. This workshop will explore the basic life cycle, uses of, and ways to grow mushrooms. Participants will get to practice growing oyster mushrooms in a fun science experiment on toilet paper. There is a $25 fee for each youth to participate, which includes a mushroom grow kit for each participant.

Mushroom kits will be available for pick up at the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Monroe County Office, 2449 St. Paul Boulevard, Rochester, during the week prior to the event. Mushrooms kits will contain spawn and substrate

A Riga WinterFest Activity!

Winter Living Winter adventures await at GCV&M Despite our tendencies toward hibernation, winter is the perfect time to enjoy the great outdoors. With over 600 acres of woodlands, meadows, ponds, and car-less paths, Genesee Country Village & Museum offers opportunities for walking, skiing, and snowshoeing along the trails and paths of the museum. Nature Sundays, held through spring, are a weekly opportunity to hike the trails, embark on a themed “story walk,” or visit the Nature Center lodge to learn more about the native plants and animals of the Genesee Valley, all in an open, physically-distanced environment.

A special feature of Nature Sundays is the opportunity to snowshoe and cross-country ski on not only the trails but through the Historic Village as well. Guests can bring their own equipment or borrow snowshoes from the Nature Center (as available).

Get fitted with a pair of snowshoes, take a quick lesson around the lawn, then head out to explore the snowy trails and village lanes. Visitors are asked to call ahead for walking conditions and check-in at the Nature Center building before heading into the village.

On snowy days, Nature Sundays will include sledding down the hill in the Great Meadow. Visitors can bring their own sleds for races down the hill, paint the ground with snow paints, or build a snowman complete with wildlife-friendly decorations.

Parents looking for something to keep kids busy this winter - or check off those “virtual” gym class requirements - can choose from a variety of weekend class options. During the Winter Wings program, children will get to take on the persona of a fairy or elf and learn about the birds who make this area their winter home. They’ll hear bird stories, make birdfeeders for

their own backyards, and use binoculars and bird callers to meet new feathered friends as they imagine, explore, and enjoy the outdoors. Winter Wings is part of the Nature Center’s one-of-a-kind “Fairy & Elf Academy,” a program for youngsters ages four through eight that offers three- to fiveweek sessions throughout the year. If you miss Winter Wings, Spring Sprites will be offered in April.

In February, children ages seven to 11 can spend Saturdays at GCV&M experiencing Wild Winter, an active play-based program that includes sledding on the Great Meadow hill, snowshoe walks, animal tracking, bird feeder crafts, survival games, and outdoor fun. Wild Winter runs February 6 through 20, and registration is now open at gcv.org.

GCV&M has more winter fun in store with mayhem of a Kiddie Cabbage Walk on February 20 and the popular Owl Moon program on February 26 and 27. Information on these programs and other seasonal happenings is available at gcv.org, and social media at @gcvmuseum.

Nature Sundays run every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The suggested donation is $5. Call ahead for hill and trail conditions, 294-8262, and check-in at the Nature Center building before heading out.

Get on the path to good health Start 2021 by getting on a path to good health with resolutions you can stick to.

Vague, non-specific resolutions are likely to fail. If you want to get healthy, choosing specific, realistic, and attainable resolutions can lead to more success. Begin with small changes and measurable goals.

If you spent too much time sitting while we’ve all been home, make a plan to move more. Resolve to stand up and move at least once every hour. The American Heart Association recommends exercising 30 minutes at least five days a week. Take a walk around your neighborhood when it is nice out or set up a circuit workout in your home. If you’re working outside the home, resolve to park farther away or take the stairs instead of the elevator.

Keep it positive. Avoid negative statements like “I will stop eating junk food,” and instead frame it positively, with a plan like, “I will eat fruits for snacks.”

Nearly half of all Americans have high cholesterol. If your goal is to reduce your cholesterol, make the changes specific.

“I will use low-fat or non-fat sour cream, dressings, and cheese. I will cook fish for dinner once a week. I will eat whole grain bread. I will choose only lean red meat and eat it only on weekends.”

Enter these goals on your daily “to-do list” and make them a priority. Make sure

you enable yourself to achieve the goals. If you want to eat healthy meals, those items have to be in the house, available. You have to make a plan for success.

Resolve to visit your doctor. Whether it’s a virtual visit or done safely in person, regular visits with your healthcare provider can be crucial to maintaining your physical and mental health.

And don’t go it alone. Engage your family.

Including children in the selection, preparation, and cleanup of foods and meals can expand family health goals.

CCE of Monroe County hosting Small Scale Food Processing Workshop A small-scale food processing business can provide many benefits and opportunities such as job creation and financial independence. The food industry is a complex business with strict food safety regulations and a requirement for high quality products. Food entrepreneurs must familiarize themselves with state and federal requirements that include licensing, safety procedures, recipe approvals, labeling standards, and more. When combined with other responsibilities associated with running a business, all this can be overwhelming. But with a clear understanding of the key steps and a good plan, a small-scale food processing business can turn into a profitable enterprise.

Cornell Cooperative Extension of Monroe County is organizing a Small-Scale Food Processing Workshop for current and aspiring food entrepreneurs. It will be held on Wednesday, January 27, and Thursday, January 28, from 8:30 a.m. to noon each day.

The first day of the workshop will cover Food Processing Fundamentals and the second will discuss Small Business Management Basics, including how to write a grant proposal. A wide range of presenters from Cornell University Food Venture Center, the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets, Small Business Development Centers, Lori’s Natural Food store, Taste of NY, Joe Bean Coffee Roasters,

and business administration consultants will share their experience and expertise.

The fee for this workshop is $35 per day or $60 for both days. Current and aspiring food entrepreneurs are encouraged to attend.

For more information on the speakers, their topics, and to register go to http://monroe.cce.cornell.edu/ events/2021/01/27/small-scale-food-processing-workshop.

For questions and more details, contact Jarmila Haseler, Agriculture and Food System Educator, CCE of Monroe County at jh954@cornell.edu.

Opinion Pets can be beneficial for mental health America is suffering from a mental health tragedy.

Forty percent of Americans – and a whopping 75 percent of young adults – are struggling with a mental health issue or drug-related problem during the coronavirus pandemic, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. With the onset of winter and Seasonal Affective Disorder, the situation is likely to deteriorate further in the coming months.

Companion animals can help many people cope this winter. Pets such as cats and dogs are proven to improve their owner’s mental health by mitigating symptoms of depression and anxiety such as worrying and loneliness while boosting feelings of calmness. The routine habits involved with caring for a living animal can also help give their owner’s a sense of meaning and purpose.

If you or someone you know is in crisis, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.

If you have the means to bring an animal into your home, call your local shelter and consider adopting as soon as possible. The healing power of the human-animal bond can help us all this winter.

Banishing stress with art at Churchville-Chili Middle School It’s been a tough year for students everywhere, but at Churchville-Chili’s Middle School some of them have discovered a fun, easy way to relax and be creative. Seventhgraders in teacher Charmagne Dodd’s art class learned how to use the art of Zentangle® to create beautiful patterns and enjoy the focused mindfulness of creative process.

Their art project began with a choice of several existing drawings of turtles, as this basic shape was the foundation for the real challenge. From here, students drew into the turtles with a variety of simple, repeated patterns, called “tangles.” The line art is meant to be unplanned and nonrepresentational, growing organically, stroke by stroke.

Students added color and a variety of blending techniques to finish their designs, exploring warm or cool color families, and bright or pastel shades. Every finished turtle was unique and reflective of the individual student’s personality.

While some students used a very spontaneous approach, careful organization was central to many of the overall designs. “My zentangles were planned out,” said Madelyn

Student Kaitlyn Pozzuolo visualized herself and her turtle on a warm, sunny beach. “I tried to make my turtle as realistic as possible,” she said. “I used different shades of brown on its shell so that it looked like it was facing away from the sun.”

“The project has some excellent grade-level design concepts,” said art teacher Dodd. “It reinforces previously learned skills and helps kids think more about composition.

They tend to get a little lost in this…they really concentrate and enjoy the meditative properties of the evolving patterns.”

As a final treat for artists, Dodd and Library Media Specialist Julia Loson collaborated on setting up a Zen Turtle art show at the Middle School library to give students an opportunity to share their work and get feedback from their peers.
