Sweden’s Jack Tangen elected National Commander of NSVA On Friday, August 20, Sweden resident Jack Tangen was elected as the National Commander of the Navy Seabee Veterans Association (NSVA) in Biloxi, Mississippi. The U.S. Navy Seabees were founded on March 5, 1942 as a result of the WWII need to provide skilled craftsmen to build and repair forward combat installations necessary to help the war effort and defend themselves from the enemy. The Seabees built airstrips, fuel depots, hospitals, barracks, deep water ports, dry docks, anything given to them, using ingenuity and skill, usually in record time. Their motto was “The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer.” The NSVA was formed by Seabee Veterans shortly after the war ended in 1946. This year the NSVA celebrates 75 years of unbroken dedication to our communities and nation.
Jack Tangen
most recent positions were at the National level as Chief Editor of the NSVA CAN DO magazine and the NSVA website. He also donates his time working and maintaining the Seabee Memorial Monument in North Tonawanda. Jack said, “It was a great honor to be elected the National Commander of the NSVA. I feel my experience in assisting, supporting, and providing direction while in other capacities in the NSVA has provided me with invaluable experience from which to draw from and effectively to deliver the results needed to guide the NSVA forward.” Jack is a longtime Sweden resident, having raised his family there with his wife, Donna. They have three daughters who all
graduated from Brockport High School, Laurie Burns, Karen Menser, and Jackie Smith. Laurie and Karen followed their father’s path by joining the U.S. Navy out of high school. Jack retired from the Kodak Elmgrove plant in 2001 after 32 years and continued to work at the site for another 13 years. He then went on to drive bus for Brockport Central Schools. Jack is also a member of the Brockport Lions Club. Any veteran that was or is a Seabee or was attached to the Bureau of Yards and Docks may join the NSVA.

TOWN OF HAMLIN
Construction begins on flood resiliency project in Carlton The New York State Department of Transportation announced that construction has begun on a $261,000 resiliency project awarded to the town of Carlton, Orleans County, through the State’s Resiliency and Economic Development Initiative (REDI). The shoreline along Lakeside Park Road, which runs along a peninsula of land located in between Lake Ontario and Johnson Creek, has experienced degradation due to repeated flooding events. The shoreline erosion has caused the access road to become unusable, resulting in the loss of land protecting homes, and approximately 300 linear feet of public water line at risk of being exposed and compromised. This project seeks to mitigate future flooding and reduce the erosion of the Lakeside Park Road, while ensuring safe access for residents and emergency responders, and protecting critical infrastructure. State Department of Transportation Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez said, “Flooding and extreme weather have plagued the town of Carlton and surrounding areas, causing disruption on local roadways and issues for the local communities especially during emergency situations. The Department of Transportation is always proud to partner with our local and state REDI partners to serve these shoreline communities. With this project we are building back stronger to ensure access to local residents and emergency personnel during extreme weather events. Our continued goal is to build a more resilient infrastructure that will stand up to what mother nature sends our way.” Resiliency measures to be implemented
in this project include construction of a new access road and placement of riprap stone along the shoreline to protect the public water line during future high-water events. Senator Robert Ortt said, “By attending to the issues surrounding Lakeside Park Road, New York State and the REDI Commission are taking proactive measures to ensure not only the safety of local residents but are also addressing the issue of erosion that may further impact the ability of first responders to access the road. This forward thinking will also protect critical infrastructure utilities located along the road and will minimize the potential impact of any naturally occurring emergencies in the future. I applaud New York State and the REDI Commission for identifying this situation and implementing the necessary solutions.” In response to the extended pattern of flooding along the shores of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River, REDI was created to increase the resilience of shoreline communities and bolster economic development in the region. Five REDI Regional Planning Committees, comprised of representatives from eight counties (Niagara and Orleans, Monroe, Wayne, Cayuga and Oswego, and Jefferson and St. Lawrence) were established to identify local priorities, at-risk infrastructure and other assets, and public safety concerns.

New construction underway in downtown Spencerport by Tami Raco Developer Robert Fallone of Fallone Properties is constructing a new three-story building on the empty lot next to Grandpa Sam’s Restaurant on South Union Street in Spencerport. Once complete, the ground floor will be available for retail space with a total of 12 apartment units on the top two stories. Plans call for the building exterior to retain
the classic appearance that Spencerport is known for. Builders broke ground a few weeks ago, but according to Spencerport Mayor Gary Penders there has been a bit of a delay. “The builder needs to reinforce the south side of the basement wall of the building and they are also awaiting Monroe County Water Authority to install the water tie in before further construction can take place,” he said. The building is scheduled for completion in 2022.

Sweden completes $1.46 million infrastructure project Sweden has completed its three-year road and parking lot reconstruction project on time and under budget. The $1.46 million project included the reconstruction/repaving of East Canal Road, West Canal Road, County Line Road, Hollybrook Road, Skidmore Drive, the Town Hall parking lot, Community Center parking lot, Highway Garage parking lot, and Town Park parking lot and section of road. The infrastructure project, which started in 2019, came in $35,433 under budget. Those excess funds will be used to help pay the next bond principal and interest payment
due in December 2021. The final payment on the bond will be in December 2028. “We are pleased our highway crew was able to complete this project on time despite the COVID interruption last year,” said Supervisor Kevin Johnson. “We were also able to complete it under budget despite the sharp increase in material prices since last year. It has been a great team effort.” Provided information
RWC mourns loss of tennis coach Tom Linhart The Roberts Wesleyan athletics department and community are mourning the loss of former head men’s and women’s tennis coach, Tom Linhart, who passed away on August 15, 2021 at the age of 72. Linhart came to Roberts Wesleyan in 2009 and served two seasons as the men’s and women’s assistant tennis coach. In 2011 Linhart was promoted to head coach of the men’s team where he Tom Linhart instantly had an impact on the success of the team, leading the Redhawks to the semifinal round of the NCCAA National Championships. In 2014, following a 15-7 season, Linhart was named the East Coast Conference Coach of the Year. In his final season (2018-2019) with Roberts Wesleyan, Linhart took over the head coaching responsibilities for the women’s team in addition to his men’s squad. During that year Linhart coached both the men’s and women’s teams to their first ever ECC postseason appearance. Coach Linhart is the winningest coach in Roberts’ tennis program history with 120 wins. Beyond the many wins and accomplishments attached to his name, Coach Linhart was beloved by his players and a valuable member of the Roberts athletics department. Nthabi Mogopodi (Women’s Tennis Player: 2016-2019) said, “Coach Tom treated me like his own. He welcomed me to the team with love and kindness. Not only that, he welcomed me into his home and family and I was received with open arms. He became the mentor that I always wanted, the parent in America that I needed and the best Coach I

have ever had. I will forever remember his kindness, his sense of humor, and how he made everything better in my life and those around him.” Charles Farres (Men’s Tennis Player: 2012-2016 & Head Men’s Tennis Coach: 2019-2020) said, “Coach Linhart was one of the kindest human beings in the world, a selfless man who would do anything for his players.” Bob Segave (Director of Athletics) said, “We are deeply saddened by the loss of Coach Tom Linhart. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Barb, Lisa, Courtney, and Tom Jr. Tom’s life is an example of the impact that one person can have across so many parts of the world. His passion was unmatched. The wisdom and faith he modeled and shared with us at Roberts helped set him apart. He truly invested in the success of his student-athletes both on and off the court. He loved his players as evidenced by the outpouring of thoughts and prayers coming in from around the world. While doing all of this, Tom managed to build a highly successful and regionally-ranked men’s and women’s tennis team in the Northeast. He loved the sport and he loved his players. One of the favorite quotes Tom and I shared was from the Reverend Billy Graham. ‘A coach will impact more young people a year than the average person does in a lifetime.’ Well done Coach, your impact has been enormous and your legacy lives on in the lives you impacted.” A celebration of Tom’s life will be held at a later time to be determined by the family. Memorial Donations may be made to the Mercy Spirituality Center, 65 Highland Avenue, Rochester, NY 14620. In honor of his granddaughter, Lola, donations may be made to the summer day camp for autistic school-age children, “Camp Wonder,” 828 Wappoo Road, Charleston, SC 29407.

She had a love for wildlife and nature, and spent several years providing animal care with a local rehabilitator for wildlife. She enjoyed hiking, running, kayaking, photographing, and exploring the great outdoors. She had the voice of an angel and played guitar. Trystan was a remarkable artist with a talent unparalleled for her young age. Her artistry didn’t just fall on paper. She also expressed her artistry in years of harp, Irish dance, and horseback riding. Family and friends are invited to call Sunday, September 19, 2021 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Thomas E. Burger Funeral Home, 735 East Avenue, Hilton. Her Memorial Service will be announced on their website obituary in the coming days.

Ann Lybarger Donovan Ann Lybarger Donovan, 77, of Crozet, Va., passed away on Friday, August 27, 2021. Ann was born on November 19, 1943, in New Hartford, New York, to Herman and Fern (Miller) Lybarger. She grew up in Brockport, N.Y. and attended S.U.N.Y. Albany where she earned a B.A. degree in Spanish and French. While studying at Albany, she enjoyed a semester abroad living as an exchange student with a large family in France. She shared funny stories with her students and family over the years of how the children would tease her as she tried to become fluent in their language and adapt to new cuisine. She reciprocated by later hosting exchange students in her family’s home, which was a great experience for her children. While at Albany, she met the love of her life, Jim, her husband of 53 years, with whom she raised two daughters. She and Jim loved to travel, and they enjoyed many excursions in Europe both as a couple and with friends. Ann was a French and Spanish teacher and spent the majority of her career at Toms River High School North in New Jersey, where she taught (mostly French) for 25 years. She also earned her Master’s degree during this time. Ann led the high school French club and took her students on class trips to France numerous times over the years. She was a dedicated and passionate teacher who touched the lives of hundreds of students. She also made many life-long friends with the other teachers and staff at H.S. North. After retiring, she and Jim moved to Crozet, Va., where they built their dream home with a beautiful view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was here that their beloved Molly, the stray dog that adopted them, came into their lives. Ann always had a soft spot for strays and animals that needed help and contributed generously to their local animal shelter for years. They also owned a log cabin on Loon Lake in Rangeley, Maine, where they enjoyed spending the summer months. In recent years, Ann enjoyed feeding her backyard birds, reading, bowling, and doing puzzles. Her love for travel and other cultures was reflected in her favorite hobby, stamp collecting, and she amassed an impressive collection filling several bookshelves. She loved playing games, especially cards, with her daughters, grandchildren and friends. Ann was a very generous person with a great personality and sense of humor. She was generous with praise, and always made her daughters feel so proud. She was a loving wife, mother and grandmother. Ann was preceded in death by her husband, Jim. Ann is survived by her daughters, Sherri (David) Roberto and Laurri (Glenn) Diener, and five grandchildren, Christopher, Sarah and Kaitlyn Diener and Jimmy and Laura Roberto, and brother David (Debbie) Lybarger. A Catholic Memorial Mass was held September 17, 2021 at Our Lady of the Rosary, Crozet Baptist Church in Crozet, Va. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be sent to the Charlottesville Albermarle SPCA.

Construction begins on Carlton flood resiliency project The New York State Department of Transportation announced that construction has begun on a $261,000 resiliency project awarded to the town of Carlton, Orleans County, through the State’s Resiliency and Economic Development Initiative (REDI). The shoreline along Lakeside Park Road, which runs along a peninsula of land located in between Lake Ontario and Johnson Creek, has experienced degradation due to repeated flooding events. The shoreline erosion has caused the access road to become unusable, resulting in the loss of land protecting homes, and approximately 300 linear feet of public water line at risk of being exposed and compromised. This project seeks to mitigate future flooding and reduce the erosion of the Lakeside Park Road, while ensuring safe access for residents and emergency responders, and protecting critical infrastructure. State Department of Transportation Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez said, “Flooding and extreme weather have plagued the town of Carlton and surrounding areas, causing disruption on local roadways and issues for the local communities especially during emergency situations. The Department of Transportation is always proud to partner with our local and state REDI partners to serve these shoreline communities. With this project we are building back stronger to ensure access to local residents and emergency personnel during extreme weather events. Our continued goal is to build a more resilient infrastructure that will stand up to what mother nature sends our way.” Resiliency measures to be implemented in this project include construction of a new access road and placement of riprap stone along the shoreline to protect the public water line during future high-water events. Senator Robert Ortt said, “By attending to the issues surrounding Lakeside Park Road, New York State and the REDI Commission are taking proactive measures to ensure not only the safety of local residents but are also addressing
the issue of erosion that may further impact the ability of first responders to access the road. This forward thinking will also protect critical infrastructure utilities located along the road and will minimize the potential impact of any naturally occurring emergencies in the future. I applaud New York State and the REDI Commission for identifying this situation and implementing the necessary solutions.” In response to the extended pattern of flooding along the shores of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River, REDI was created to increase the resilience of shoreline communities and bolster economic development in the region. Five REDI Regional Planning Committees, comprised of representatives from eight counties (Niagara and Orleans, Monroe, Wayne, Cayuga and Oswego, and Jefferson and St. Lawrence) were established to identify local priorities, at-risk infrastructure and other assets, and public safety concerns.

Virtual and in-person programs featured the summer kick-off with Amazing Magic Joe, Piggy Cookie Story Time with the Storybook Cook, plus visits with K9 Brock and Officer Sime of the Brockport Police Department, beekeeper Michael Van Edwards, and Mr. Grey’s Strays. Other summer programs included Garden Club, story times, Mad Scientists’ Lab, parachute play, and Lego club. The Teen Summer Reading Game was open to students entering grades six through 12.

and fall is the perfect season for planting. Planting in October works well in our climate because it allows the garlic to establish its roots before winter dormancy. Although easy to grow, producing highquality garlic with large, tasty, full-flavored cloves - while avoiding pests and diseases - requires skill and knowledge. Cornell Cooperative Extension of Monroe County, in collaboration with Fraser’s Garlic Farm, is hosting a “Growing Garlic 101” workshop. Community garden members, school garden educators, urban and suburban backyard gardeners, and aspiring small-scale market growers are all invited to join. The workshop will cover planting, growing, harvesting, curing, and storing. Common pest and disease problems will also be discussed. Special consideration will be given to garlic as a crop to be grown for market. Gourmet garlic is becoming more popular and profitable every year. As a good storage vegetable, it can be sold at farmers’ markets and roadside stands throughout the season. To help potential market growers with this
Farm in Churchville (https://www.frasergarlic.com/), will share his experience of growing and marketing the gourmet garlic produced on his organic farm. Participants are encouraged to bring questions for him. The cost of the workshop is $12 per registration. Participants can purchase garlic seed for their fall planting at registration. There is a limited supply of organic certified German White hardneck from Fraser’s Garlic Farm. Garlic packages come in halfpound packages for $8 each; the purchase limit is 2.5 pounds per registrant. A halfpound of seed garlic will produce about 20 bulbs next season. Purchased garlic can be picked up at CCE of Monroe County, 2449 St. Paul Boulevard, Rochester, on Friday, October 1, 4 to 7 p.m., or Saturday, October 2, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information, to register, and to purchase garlic go to http://monroe.cce.cornell.edu/events/2021/09/23/ growing-garlic-101-virtual-workshop.

Kristina Gabalski Natives offer an array of byfall 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 purplish-pink 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.

Anise Hyssop is a native pollinator favorite that has a licorice scent. It blooms in late summer and early autumn. Photo by Kristina Gabalski. 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 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 cutflower 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.

Westside News East and West Editions - September 19, 2021 15
Spencerport writer compiles book of essays on Navigating the Pandemic by Miriam Ganze Perhaps because she was born a Schreiber (German for writer), long time Spencerport native, Teresa Schreiber Werth seems to always turn to the written word during monumental moments in her life. Previously, she composed Poems for a Pregnant Lady, Coming Another: More Poems for a Pregnant Lady, In A Woman’s Voice, and most poignantly, Pink-On-Pink: Writing My Way Through Breast Cancer. It should come, then, as no surprise, that Ms. Werth would deem a collection of essays on coping with the uncertainty, the disruption, the impotence, and the sorrow of 2020 as a “balm to soothe weary souls.” As a Certified Funeral Celebrant, she has spent many days and nights showing others a way through grief, but now she has turned to fellow writers and artists to create a kaleidoscope of perspectives and personal experiences to reassure her readers that they are not alone. In Navigating the Pandemic: Stories of Hope and Resilience, Ms. Werth has brought together an eclectic group of poets, writers, photographers, artists, and musicians who offer personal perspectives on our historic year. There are 38 contributors in total, including 15 Rochesterarea writers - Lynn Acquafondata, Joyce Arnold, Aylannie Campbell, Virginia Cross, Steve McAlpin, Gloria Osborne, Ida Perez, Maria Delgado Sutton, Jim Sutton, Dave Seaburn, Marj Smith, Gretchen Volk, Gordon Webster, and Camryn Zeitvogel. The contributors span the ages from high school seniors to retirees, the professions from medicine, to music, to clergy, and from an incarcerated person to a Fellow of the British Royal Society. They generously share their personal stories and reflections as a guide through this uncertain journey and any others that may lie ahead. “As time went on and the book did not come out, I worried that the pandemic would be over and our book would lose its relevance,” Ms. Werth said. “But now it’s quite the opposite: more people than ever are experiencing more and more layers of loss, which feels like grief. None of us have been here before. We are lost. Our book offers direction, inspiration from personal and professional experiences and real hope, as we navigate this history we are living.” As a keeper of a “100-acre worry farm” myself, I found the selections in this book comforting, consoling, and insightful. Not all the contributors are professionals, but all their messages are delivered with honesty and understanding. Some of the selections made me chuckle like rapper, Guy Banks (Tron), who tells us: “Laughter eases the fear/ Pa-
tience and open ears are necessary.” His words resonate in the poem of Adam Lazarus, “The New Corona Virus Rules” with an April Fools rhyme that includes: “Hoard toilet paper? You’re on a ‘checkup’ list/ Performed by a shaky blind Proctologist.” Ms. Werth weighs in with an essay on amusing cartoons, which include this lament: “To go to the grocery store, they said masks and gloves were enough. They lied. Everyone else had clothes on.” Other essays I read through tears, but all of them touched my heart. Health care professional Andrew Penn teaches about “ambiguous loss,” the sorrow “over things that are uncertain and incomplete.” Then he gently shows how to gain a measure of control. Many involved in health care, both professional and volunteers, speak movingly of falling in love with their dying patients, and paradoxically, of the heartbreak and comfort they found holding the hands of dying patients. Other contributors deal with the persistent pandemics many of our brothers and sisters have lived through all their lives. J. Dawn Knickerbocker, an Ojibwa woman, reminds readers that “plagues” are no stranger to Native Nations. Ever since the arrival of the Europeans in their lands, Native peoples have suffered disproportionately, from the smallpox blankets of history to the lack of equitable health care today. Yet they continually persist. The lessons learned from their ancestors, placed in their bones, taught them perseverance. For the Ojibwa (and all the rest of us) there are only “two lasting sicknesses; being unprepared and being in anguish alone.” Aylannie Campbell, a Black 2020 graduate of Spencerport High School, is no stranger to being in anguish alone. She recalls the isolation she lived with as the only Black child in her elementary classroom. Other students used racial slurs, which not only she, but her teachers pretended
not to hear. This pandemic year is not just about COVID-19; it has magnified the contagion of racism borne by minority communities since 1609. Still, Ms. Campbell has inherited the bones of perseverance from her ancestors, and with that inner strength, she became a leader in a movement of inclusion and diversity in her high school and her town. With a different perspective, second-grade teacher Penny Sue Williams McGanty details the struggles of teaching in the era of Zoom school. With her colleagues, she battled the technology needed to conduct class from home for 18 second-graders. As she puts it, “if tears were pounds,” today she would be a size six. Love and unity brought her through. After the 2020 spring break, one little boy told the class his dog had died that week. Ms. McGanty writes, “I could feel the love (his classmates) shared and how much we were together, but alone.” Poet Ayanna Woods continues this motif by offering words of promise in dark times: “They say it’s a lost cause They haven’t seen the new roots Weaving through the dark When they cut off a branch that they say is dying? It takes uncommon faith to grow.” Although most contributors see hope in some level of unity, be it in laughter, tears, understanding, or stubborn persistence, Damian Barr asserts that, actually, we are not all in the same boat in this particular crisis. He believes we are all on different ships navigating our own particular “storm.” The coronavirus will eventually stop dominating the news, but if we have learned nothing else from this year, everyone surely knows none of us can escape the inevitable rocky seas of life. These personal stories, poems, photographs, and artwork create a compass for coping with the “slings and arrows that flesh is heir to.” Do keep this book with your life jackets. Others have found their way to make it to shore, and in our own way, we can, too.

Having a local paper that not only brings the news to you is also the best advertising medium today for the Red Bird. Having social media is great, but you need to supplement that medium with print. Print can give you much more as it is available to you long after the social media is gone. It stays around in the kitchen and you can read your favorite Westside News articles when you have time. Last fall our ad was fabulous! Our phone “rang off the hook” with customers wanting our specials! We asked everyone how they knew about our special and they told us “Westside News.” So if you want to spend your advertising dollars and get great results, advertise in Westside News. The production department is fabulous and they can design just the right print ad for you! Jo Matela The Red Bird Cafe and Gift Shop 25 Main Street, Brockport 585-637-3340

Early Deadline
Due to the Columbus Day holiday, there will be an early deadline for all news and advertising for the OCT. 10th edition of Westside News.
ALL NEWS AND ADS MUST BE IN OUR OFFICE BY
Opinion & Comments Too much negativity in local politics Election day in Clarkson is over a month away and already some individuals running for local office have resorted to negativity and personal attacks as a part of their campaign. In the August 29 edition of Westside News, the two Democratic candidates coordinated a personal attack on the leader of the Clarkson Republican Committee because of his assessment of poor judgment by one of our local Congressmen. This appears to be the strategy of the Clarkson Democrats and, unfortu-
nately, we will be subjected to more of the same until election day. Apparently, the Democrats have learned little from how poorly their personal attacks were perceived in the last local election, as the voters soundly rejected all of the Democratic candidates. The citizens of Clarkson deserve much more from our elected officials than either of these current Democratic candidates have to offer. Edward J. Kumar Clarkson
German Fest was wunderbar After months of waiting and watching, the time seemed right to go forward with the 116th German Fest, so it was approved by the leadership of the Federation of German-American Societies Inc. for August 13 and 14 as previously planned. It could hardly have been any better than it was this year. The attendance, the food, and beverage consumption were the best ever. More importantly, was the participation and enjoyment that everyone took part in and liked regardless of their heritage. The usual workers from our member clubs were outnumbered by the many volunteers who had eagerly offered to help in advance. Others offered to help after they already came there. We were especially impressed with the dozens of young people, a.k.a. “teenagers,” who eagerly helped do whatever was needed and enjoyed themselves while doing it. If there were an award for traveling the farthest to the Fest, it would go to Mark and Shawnae Bratz from Kalispell, Montana. On Thursday, August 12, while traveling on the canal, they passed the site in their boat and were eagerly waved to by our potato peeling volunteers. Up ahead, they saw a sign for the Fest and decided to dock near the Canal Museum. They were impressed with the eager hands that
helped them dock there and asked about the Fest. That person mentioned that the Reinschmidt family was involved. Hearing that, Mark contacted the Reinschmidt he knew in Kalispell. It happened to be Garrett, our grandson, who is an officer at TrailWest Bank. Garrett proudly confirmed that Spencerport was where his dad, Peter, came from and that his Oma, Opa, uncle, and cousins lived there. Mark and his wife decided to stay overnight and attended the Fest Friday night. They had put their boat into Lake Michigan at Green Bay, Wisconsin, as the beginning of an extended boat trip. Mark is a retired CPA, and they plan on spending many years boating. The Fest would never have been so successful without the cooperation and participation of the Village, Firemen’s Association, many sponsors, and of course, the volunteers. It was very gratifying to have attendees thank us and ask that we please continue holding this event in the future. So to all, we can only say a big “Thank You” or, as we say in German, “Danke Schoen.” Joe Reinschmidt Spencerport
Rec Fest needs volunteers to help in 2022 The third annual Rochester Rec Fest was once again held in Spencerport on August 28. The music from AJ DiNoto and his Big Band and from In the Mix was spectacular, the mini golf course in the MVP Health Care Sports Arena was a hit, and the exhibitor area was a hive of activity. Next year’s festival is planned for Saturday, September 10, 2022. Many thanks go to our 2021 Festival Sponsors: MVP Health Care, Simon Devenish - Health and Life Insurance Broker, COMIDA, Monroe County, Joe D’s Barber Shop, Barton’s Parkside Hots, Lynn Walsh Dates - Real Estate Salesperson, Mary Lobene – Real Estate Salesperson, Johnny D’s Family Restaurant, J. William Jewelers, State Farm Insurance – Dominic Agostini Agency, Visit Rochester, Heat and Kool Inc., Unified Tae Kwon Do, Sean Hantes – Edward Jones Investments, Texas BBQ Joint, Spencerport Hots, and Howard Hanna Spencerport.

Lastly, thank you to all of the volunteers who helped make Rec Fest 2021 come to life. In order to keep Rec Fest on Spencerport’s schedule of events, your help is needed to help organize the 2022 Festival. There are a variety of tasks that need to be done, many of which can be done from the comfort of your home. If you are interested, contact Simon Devenish at 585-851-1629 or email simon@recfestny. com. Volunteer information sessions will be held later in the year.
