Greece Historic Resources Survey now available to view The Town of Greece is celebrating its 200th bicentennial anniversary this year. Throughout 2022, the town will be celebrating this significant milestone with a variety of events and services for residents that commemorate its two hundred year history and progress as a town and community. As part of that effort, Supervisor Reilich has announced the release of the Town of Greece’s Bicentennial Historic Resources Survey. The survey is an online, living archive of maps, images, information, and historical narratives documenting Greece’s heritage in an accessible format that is easy to navigate for people of all ages. The survey will be maintained by the Town Historian and utilized to share the highlights of town history that have contributed to Greece being the community it is today.
“Think of it as a book with unlimited pages, where we can share information about our history in new and creative ways that are engaging to residents of all ages,” said Supervisor Reilich. “What better way to celebrate the Town’s bicentennial than reflecting on our history, the neighborhoods, business districts, waterways and people that are the fabric of our community and I invite and encourage all of Greece’s residents to take the time to utilize it.” The Bicentennial Historic Resources Survey is the completion of another recommendation of the Town’s 2020 Comprehensive Plan. The survey link can be found at https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/ 7a414722fef745efb0fddfad4af0bdf3. Provided information
Lieutenant Peter Zambuto of the Monroe County Sheriff ’s Office (MCSO) received the Sheriff Carl F. Draxler Award at the New York State Sheriffs’ Institute Winter Conference in Albany on January 18. The award is given in recognition of career achievements and consistent, conscientious devotion to duty. Lt. Zambuto began his career as an intern with the MCSO in 1999, became a Trainee in 2000, and was hired as a Part-Time Deputy in 2002. He joined the Ogden Police Department in 2003 as a Full-Time Police Officer. He returned to the MCSO in 2006 and was assigned to Road Patrol. Lt. Zambuto became a Field Training Officer, NYS DCJS Instructor, and later accepted an assignment in the Training Unit as the Police Bureau Training Coordinator. During his tenure he positively impacted many recruits as they began their careers and ensured valuable training was delivered during In-Service Trainings. Promoted to Sergeant in 2015, Lt. Zambuto served as a Platoon Sergeant until being assigned as the Sergeant of the Traffic Enforcement Unit. In 2018, he accepted an assignment as the Community Services and Special Events Sergeant. During this assignment, he coordinated Community Services and engagement for the entire Sheriff ’s Office, initiated the Project Lifesaver Program, and coordinated the department’s transition to a new radio system. He also planned and coordinated major events, including the
large-scale funeral for Congresswoman Louise Slaughter in 2018, which was attended by a former President of the United States and many national, state, and local elected officials and dignitaries. Lt. Zambuto also planned and coordinated the 2019 Senior PGA golf tournament at Oak Hill Country Club and the 2019 Greater Rochester International Airshow, with both events encompassing multiple days with thousands in attendance. In the spring of 2020, Lt. Zambuto was integral in the planning, organizing, and coordinating of the MCSO’s COVID operations. In all of these events, Lt. Zambuto volunteered to come in during his time off, stay late, complete any task, and never refused a request for assistance. He also trained other members to perform the functions he was responsible for, providing redundancy if needed. Lt. Zambuto was promoted to his present rank in December 2020 and is assigned as a 3rd Platoon Watch Commander. He was also recently selected to serve as the Class Counselor for the upcoming Supervisor’s School. A statement posted on Twitter by the MCSO said, “Lt. Zambuto’s involvement and efforts in incidents, events, and initiatives has been vital, and his devotion to duty and selflessness is an example to others. The example he sets is an ideal level of performance for a Police Officer and leader.” Provided information

Hilton Lions Club adds braille books to Parma Public Library The Hilton Lions Club made a big impact locally when they were able to purchase 28 large print and braille books for the Parma Public Library through a Lions state grant from the MD 20 SEE (Screening Eyes Early) program. January is Braille Literacy Month so the timing could not be better. The books are all for youth and will be available through the inter-library lending program for any readers who want them. Library Director Amy Hogue said it is important for children to develop a reading habit at a young age and how very useful the new materials will be for many children. Hilton Lions Club President Brad Helmer is shown in the library with the new books. Provided information and photos.
politically speaking Disappointed by failure to invest in libraries On January 18, Gov. Hochul unveiled her first state budget proposal. While there was plenty to be encouraged by, including funds for health care, nursing homes, education and infrastructure, there is still reason for concern. One of my disappointments is the treatment of New York’s libraries. Over the past 22 months, libraries across our state have continually put those they serve first. Whether adapting to online programming, expanding e-collections and providing internet access when it was lacking, libraries have been there for their community when needed most. In a budget proposal that raised state spending by $4 billion, libraries would receive only a $2 million increase in aid, and worse, a $20 million decrease in construction aid. This would have a devastating impact on the ability of communities to invest in libraries that meet 21st century needs, and the need is felt in every community of our state. On a recent statewide tour of libraries with the chairs of the Assembly and Senate Library Committees, I heard from libraries in Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse on how communities are in need of libraries to be all things for all people, often outside of traditional services. Failure to invest in libraries is a failure to invest in our communities. It will now fall on the Legislature to fight, in a bipartisan manner, to restore this funding and more to ensure New York state has libraries that continue to meet the needs of those they serve now and into the future.

Health experts find that heavy storms can predict the risk of germs in treated Great Lakes drinking water Across the Great Lakes basin, hundreds of water utilities treat water from the Great Lakes and deliver safe, highquality drinking water to nearly 40 million residents. The risk of getting a stomach bug from this treated drinking water is very low – but there is some risk. A new study of environmental and health data from four cities in Canada and in the United States shows that the risk of getting sick from treated Great Lakes drinking water can increase after certain weather events. The Health Professionals Advisory Board of the International Joint Commission recently published their findings in a new Phase 2 report on their proof-of-concept pilot study “Transboundary Monitoring of Environmental Factors and their Influence on Waterborne Protozoan Acute Gastrointestinal Illnesses in Cities that Source Water from the Great Lakes.” The study looked at health, weather, and water quality data for the cities of Hamilton and Toronto, Ontario (on Lake Ontario) and Green Bay and Milwaukee, Wisconsin (on Lake Michigan). The study found a link between heavy precipitation and public health: no matter the season, more people got stomach bugs a few weeks following a big storm. “The data show that there is a consistent pattern: no matter what time of year, if it was dry and then there was heavy precipitation, about three to seven weeks afterwards there were more reported cases of people getting sick from either of the two waterborne germs we were tracking, giardia and cryptosporidium,” said Dr. Elaine Faustman, US co-chair of the board, professor and director of the Institute for Risk Analysis and Risk Communication at the University of Washington. The pattern of heavy precipitation preceding the increased risk of acute gastrointestinal illness points to gaps in monitoring and reporting on the Great Lakes as the source of treated drinking water.
“One of the big challenges doing this study was that the data were scattered across many agencies, and so one of the board’s recommendations is to have a binational clearinghouse of these data indicators,” said Dr. Laurie Chan, Canadian co-chair of the board, professor and Canada research chair in toxicology and environmental health at the University of Ottawa. The board was assisted by the cooperation of water utilities and public health agencies in the four study cities that provided the requested data. The board chose these four cities for the study with the purpose to compare two major cities on the same lake, for two lakes, with one pair in Canada and the other in the United States. The study did not compare data with any other metropolitan areas or smaller communities on other lakes. “Our proof-of-concept study demonstrated that, when available, these data are good indicators for the health safety of the Great Lakes as our drinking water source. Public health can be better protected with greater monitoring and reporting on source water quality, as well as with increased investments in surveillance and treatment infrastructure,” said Dr. Seth Foldy, report co-author, member of the board and former director of epidemiology, informatics and preparedness at Denver Public Health. “Climate change is expected to increase extreme rain events in the Great Lakes which, particularly after a dry period, can increase the risk of waterborne illness from drinking water. So, it’s imperative that governments address gaps in monitoring to reduce that health risk to the public,” said Dr. Tim Takaro, professor of health sciences at Simon Fraser University who served as the Canadian co-chair of the board from 2015 to 2020. A graphic executive summary of the report findings is available at ijc.org. Provided information

Roberts Wesleyan Hall of Famer, Jack Fraser has died Roberts Wesleyan athletics hall of fame member, Jack Fraser passed away at Unity Hospital on January 9, 2022, at the age of 88. Fraser was a 1957 graduate of Roberts and had a long, rich history in Roberts Wesleyan athletics as a student-athlete, coach, and administrator. Fraser was a member of the men’s basketball team from 1953 to 1957. He finished his career with 919 points, averaging 12.1 points per game over 76 total games. Fraser holds the record for free throw attempts in a season with 247. Ten years after graduating from Roberts, Fraser returned to the athletics department to serve as Athletics Director and head coach for the men’s basketball team. Fraser coached basketball for seven seasons until 1974 when he transitioned to head coach for the men’s soccer team from 1974 to 1980. During his stretch with the soccer team, Fraser led the men to the NAIA National Championship game (1979). It was one of only three times that had been accomplished as a member of the NAIA. Fraser also earned NAIA Coach of the Year honors that season. Fraser served as Athletics Director for 13 years (1967 to 1980). He was inducted into the Roberts Athletics Hall of Fame in 1982. “The Roberts community mourns the loss of Coach Fraser,” said Bob Segave, current Roberts Director of Athletics. “A friend and coach to many, Jack was a larger than life person to me who became a good friend. He was always there with his trademark strong handshake and a word of encouragement. He was always interested in the state of athletics at the college. As he shared his stories of the successes and challenges that came with the Director of Athletics chair, he was able to inspire me with his strong voice. I will miss that voice, but when days are tough I will hear my friend Jack’s strong voice guiding me.” Jack is survived by wife Priscilla, sons John (Laurie) and James (Teresa) and daughter Jennifer (David), stepsons Andrew (Kimberly) and David (Jodi); 11 grandchildren and three great grandchildren. He was born November 9, 1933, in Monticello, in the Catskill mountains. He was an avid sports fan his entire life and had a love for the New York Yankees and Buffalo Bills. A special achievement for Fraser came at the age of 86 when he recorded a hole-in-one at Churchville Golf Course on the fourth hole, witnessed by long-time family friend and Roberts grad David Heimberger.
In his later years, Jack enjoyed traveling with his wife Priscilla to beautiful parts of the country to visit children and grandchildren in Tennessee, Colorado, and Arizona. In lieu of flowers, donations in Jack’s memory can be sent to the Roberts Wesleyan College Athletic Department. A celebration of life will be held on February 19 at Pearce Memorial Church on the Roberts campus, 4322 Buffalo Road, North Chili. Visit time with the family will take place on February 19 from 12:30 to 1:15 p.m. and the Memorial Service will follow at 1:30 p.m. Provided information and photo Ask about our

Sweden Town Clerk rejects cannabis petition Sweden Town Clerk Karen Sweeting rejected a petition filed on December 21, 2021, that would have called for a referendum on Sweden Town Law 6 of 2021 adding Chapter 152 to the Sweden Town Code. Chapter 152 opted out of Adult Use Cannabis Retail Dispensaries and On-site Consumption Sites in the Town of Sweden, outside the Village of Brockport. A total of 423 signatures were required in order for Sweeting to certify the petition as sufficient (10% of the votes cast in the last gubernatorial election, November 6, 2018). Three hundred signatures were submitted, leaving the petition 123 signatures (29.1%) short. In addition, Sweeting removed 12 signatures that she did not find on the Monroe County Board of Elections Voter Registration list dated November 2, 2021. New York State gave local municipalities until December 31, 2021, to opt out of the new cannabis law or be permanently opted-in. Many local towns and villages have opted out, at least until New York State provides guidance on the duties and obligations local governments will assume by opting in. At the time of this press release, 18 municipalities in Monroe County had reported opting out of retail dispensaries and 18 had reported opting out of on-site consumption sites. Provided information
Opinion Thanks to Clarkson Highway Department crew I would like to commend Clarkson’s Superintendent of Highways, Bob Viscardi and his team for the great job plowing they did this past Monday. Clarkson has always had very good plow services and you can tell that they take pride in it. I’m always impressed how they come around and clear off the banks so they don’t get too high. In these parts, good, expedient plowing is essential in providing safety in our community, and our tax dollars are well spent for the service. Thanks, guys! Sheldon Meyers Clarkson

RAA board members, staff, and community members gathered at Cobbs Hill Reservoir to celebrate the MTN DEW Outdoor Grant. Provided photo.
RAA awarded grant to expand access to outdoor recreation for those with disabilities Rochester Accessible Adventures (RAA) has received one of forty $5,000 MTN DEW Outdoor Grants in support of the organization’s ongoing commitment to champion access by people with disabilities to the great outdoors. Based in Rochester and serving the Greater Rochester, Finger Lakes and WNY regions, Rochester Accessible Adventures is a 501c3 nonprofit that improves the health and wellness of people with disabilities by guiding communities to create a culture of physical accessibility, social inclusion, and equitable open access in recreation, sports, and tourism. As an organization that is passionate about the outdoors, RAA believes it is crucial that we all do our part to preserve the lands we love and enable all people to get outside and experience the health and wellness benefits provided by outdoor recreation. RAA is planning to use the $5,000 grant to expand access to the outdoor experience for people with disabilities. In keeping with their overarching goal to transform how recreation is provided so that people with and without disabilities can participate together, they will partner with key community entities in the Greater Rochester area to engage in their Community Health Inclusion model so that more people with disabilities can participate in the activities those organizations promote. The physical, social, and emotional benefits of outdoor recreation are well known, as are the physical and social barriers that exist for people with
intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities to participate in outdoor recreation, and RAA is committed to removing those barriers and increasing access to the outdoor experience. “To be recognized by MTN DEW and our local community for our work and commitment to the outdoors is very special,” said Anita O’Brien, Executive Director of Rochester Accessible Adventures. “We are so excited to receive a $5,000 grant to help us set in motion our Get Outdoors! movement towards true inclusion of children, youth, and adults with disabilities in outdoor activities in the Greater Rochester and Finger Lakes region during a time when it matters most.” RAA is one of 40 non-profits to receive a grant through the MTN DEW Outdoor Grants program. The effort by MTN DEW is part of a long-term commitment to help community organizations across the U.S. who have faced funding and volunteer participation challenges due to the ongoing pandemic, and to provide outdoor enthusiasts with more access to the great outdoors by helping remove some of the key barriers. The brand has donated more than $1.25 million to fuel outdoor passions to-date. To learn about RAA, visit www.RochesterAccessibleAdventures.org.

Emergency resources available for older adults this winter Emergency assistance and other resources are available to help ensure the safety of older adults – and all New Yorkers – during the winter months. “Winter has always been an important time to check in on family, loved ones, and neighbors to make sure they are safe,”said Greg Olsen, Director of the New York State Office for the Aging. “This kind of outreach is even more important now, during the pandemic, as older adults, persons with disabilities, and the chronically ill face even more extreme levels of social isolation that can make them especially vulnerable to winter safety risks at home.” Emergency Heating Assistance through HEAP Individuals facing a home-heating emergency may be eligible for assistance through the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP), which helps low-income people pay
the cost of heating their homes. The emergency benefit opened on January 3, 2022 and is available for low-income older adults and other New Yorkers whose home heating is either shut off or scheduled to be shut off, as well as for individuals who are running out of home heating fuel or other deliverable heat sources. Learn more at https://otda. ny.gov/programs/heap/#emergency-benefit. Regular HEAP Benefits Lower-income New Yorkers may also be eligible for regular (non-emergency) HEAP benefits to help pay for heating your home. Eligibility and benefits are based on income, household size, the primary heating source, and the presence of a household member who is under age six, age 60 or older, or permanently disabled. Benefits opened on October 1, 2021. More information is available at https://otda. ny.gov/programs/heap/#regular-benefit.
Reporting a Dangerous Living Condition Neglect (including self-neglect) is the most prevalent form of elder abuse. It can include being deprived of enough food, water, or heat. “For individuals with a chronic illness or living in an unsafe environment, the consequences can be catastrophic during cold weather,” Olsen said. If you are concerned about an older adult’s living situation during the winter months and are unable to assist, you can call Adult Protective Services at 1-844-697-3505 or contact the local social services department’s Adult Protective Service bureau using the directory at https://ocfs. ny.gov/directories/localdss.php. New Yorkers concerned about the safety of an older adult at home can also contact their county Office for the Aging using the online directory at https://aging.ny.gov/local-offices or contact the NY Connects helpline at 1-800-342-9871.

Bird feeding is a popular pastime for homeowners, particularly during the winter months. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says more than 50 million North Americans feed wild birds. The presence of wild birds in your landscape is a good sign, but is the supplemental feeding of wild birds helpful to them? In an article entitled “Analysis: Do Bird Feeders Help or Hurt Birds?,” the Cornell Lab of Or- Feeding wild birds can help them during the snowiest parts of the winter. nithology takes on that Photo by Kristina Gabalski. question and utilizes three decades of Project Feederwatch and which you can choose, including sunflower Christmas Bird Count data to try to answer seed, safflower seed, corn, millet, and suet cakes. Black-oil sunflower seed attracts the the question. Both Project Feederwatch and the greatest number of species, Cornell says. Christmas Bird Count are citizen science The seed is very nutritious, high in fat, has projects which help scientists at the Lab of a high meat-to-shell ratio, and is easy for Ornithology collect data on how often spe- birds to handle and crack.

Choosing a standard seed mix that indirect impacts on migratory species or includes varieties of seeds most birds do not on generalist predators that might impact like can be wasteful. Additionally, suet cakes available at populations of non-feeder birds, but their many stores are attractive to insect-eating research did provide some positives. Focusing on 98 species of birds that use birds such as chickadees, woodpeckers, feeders at least a moderate amount of time, and nuthatches. Small, plastic-coated wire Cornell found that species that use bird cages are the best way to offer suet. If you can, offer water in the winter with feeders the most tend to do just as well as, or better than, species that use feeders more an immersion-style water heater that can sporadically.

Hopper to engage in environmental advocacy and feeders are hung from trees or posts and conservation action to help many species are good for larger birds like cardinals, jays, and grosbeaks. Tube feeders, which are also that need more than sunflower seeds.” If you would like to set up a feeding hung from trees and posts, are great for station in your yard, the Cornell Lab of finches, titmice, and chickadees. Keep your feeders clean. Wash them Ornithology offers these tips. Winter can be an especially hard time for about once every two weeks with soap and birds to find food, particularly after heavy water and a sturdy brush. Rinse well and snowfalls.

Five Byron-Bergen students traveled to Indianapolis for the National FFA Convention in October.
Byron-Bergen students attend 94th National FFA Convention Five students from ByronBergen High School (BBHS) had the opportunity to travel to Indianapolis, Indiana for the 94th National Future Farmers of America Association (FFA) Convention & Expo. Rachel Best, Maddie Pimm, Alex Schuck, Gracie Erin, and Brendan Pimm joined students from FFA chapters across New York state for the trip. FFA is a youth organization for students who are interested in agriculture and leadership. Through agricultural-based, handson educational experiences, members develop the tools and leadership skills that translate into real-world personal and professional successes. The event was held from October 27-30, 2021, and over 56,000 members attended. There are many activities at the convention, including an agriculture-focused career and college fair, judging of national finalists for various career and leadership development events, inauguration of the following year’s FFA officers, and presentation of FFA degrees to new recipients. “My favorite part was the sessions,” said Pimm, a senior at BBHS. “A lot of the FFA members would go up and talk about how FFA has impacted their life and it was really eye-opening.” Rachel Best, a BBHS senior, originally learned of FFA when attending animal science camps at Genesee Valley BOCES and had no idea it would lead to her not only meeting people from all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, but being asked to serve as a New York State delegate at the convention. “It was really cool to get that experience, to work with the state officers and do the business portion of FFA,” said Best. “I never realized how big of a necessity agriculture is, and I think without FFA I never would have learned,” continued Best. “We’re not just cows and plows, we’re a big leadership organization. Before FFA I wouldn’t have even wanted to talk to you. Now, I don’t stop talking.”
“One of the major portions of FFA is that we’re getting agriculture leaders,” said Jeff Parnapy, FFA advisor and agriscience and FACS instructor at BBHS. “Maybe you are a shepherd, and you own these sheep, but you’re going to have to be that leader who has to speak up to your industry. Maybe it means becoming a member and a leader with your local farm bureau, or maybe you need to advise your legislators.” Parnapy’s FFA involvement allowed him to qualify for and receive a $1,500 scholarship grant from the Curriculum for Agricultural Science Education (CASE) to use toward a CASE food science course in the summer of 2022 which will benefit BBHS’s agriscience program. The scholarship was sponsored by Farm Credit East. While in Indiana, students were also able to visit the Cleveland Museum of Science and tour Fair Oaks Farms. The trip was organized by the NYS FFA alumni and supporters. The National FFA Convention & Expo is held annually, and registration is open to all FFA members. In 2022, the event will take place from October 26-29 at the same location. Provided information and photos
