‘Hang Around Victor Day Celebration 2025’ at Pinnacle Athletic Campus
CELEBRATING VOLUNTEERISM AND COMMUNITY SPIRIT
IN VICTOR, NY
BY SUZIE WELLS
“If by receiving an award at the event helps encourage more volunteerism in our community, then I’m all in.”
SUE STEHLING
A er the official ‘Hang Around Victor Day’ event that ran from 1976-2021 was ended, a new event is being launched in Victor: ‘Celebrating Volunteerism.’ With a refreshed purpose and a new location, the community event, long cherished by Victor residents, will be held Saturday, September 6th, rain or shine, at Pinnacle Athletic Campus & Events Center.
oughplansaretomaketheeventreflective of the event people remember from Victor village streets, coordinator Randy Shea (with the enthusiastic support of Sue Stehling and the event host), aims to recapture the spirit that made Hang Around Victor Day such a powerful celebration of community. Shea hopes to “help amplify the same sense of connection and honor the spirit of volunteerism that has helped to make Victor such a great destination to visit, live, work, shop and invest.”
A Serendipitous New Start
e idea for a revival began almost by accident.InJune2025,whenPinnaclesigned on to advertise with Shea’s DestinationVictorNY.com, a casual conversation turned into a spark. Pinnacle’s General Manager, Ethan Lincoln, proposed hosting the community event and momentum built quickly. Shea connected with Stehling, longtime Victor Chamber of Commerce President and coordinator of the Hang Around Victor Days from 1977-2004, when the event drew more than 10,000 attendees. is year’s theme, Celebrating Volunteerism, highlights those in the

the community who go above and beyond to make the world a better place, one selfless act at a time. For some, it promises to be the most meaningful while reflecting the family-friendly fun Hang Around Victor Day became known for.
Honoring a Legacy
One of the highlights of the day will be a noon award ceremony honoring all volunteer groups and organizations in attendance. e first to be celebrated will be Sue Stehling as Legacy Guest of Honor with an award being presented to Sue Stehling who organized the Hang Around Victor, NY event from 1977-2004. As president of the former Victor Chamber of Commerce, Sue not only chaired the event for decades but built it into Victor’s premier community gathering. It was a completely volunteerrun effort, with nonprofits receiving free booth space, and focus placed squarely on social connection – no fireworks, no alcohol, just community.
Stehling is especially glad to see this year’s event shining a light on local volunteers and organizations. She says, “If by receiving an award at the event helps encourage more volunteerism in our community, thenI’mallin.”Organizershopetheopenmicrophone throughout the day will encourage groups to talk about their missions, recognize volunteers, and present awards of their own if they should so choose.
What
to Expect
is year’s family-friendly event will feature:
• Local food trucks and vendors
• Games with prizes
• A bounce house and kids’ activities
• Community organizations sharing about their missions and volunteers
• Fundraisers and nonprofit recruitment
• Open mic opportunities throughout the day for organizations to publicly honor volunteers
All will be hosted at the Pinnacle Athletic Campus, offering indoor and outdoor space and plenty of parking.

Remembering the Spirit of the Original Event
Randy and Sue both fondly recall the 2004 event, their last year coordinating it together with all volunteers. Held on September 11th, just three years a er the 2001 attacks, it opened with local clergy offering prayers for the nation and a hopeful future. Shea recalls, “It was the pinnacle moment of the Hang Around Victor days. It was a day to remember the tragedy of 9/11 but also to remember to continue on and celebrate life and our freedom to move forward as a community.”
at spirit is exactly what this new version of Hang Around Victor Day hopes to reignite. Victor is a strong community, and this event hopes to bring people together for community good.

homeowners can cut those costs by volunteering to do some of the simpler tasks themselves. In addition, contractors often purchase materials at a much lower cost than individual homeowners because contractors buy in bulk. So while labor costs might be lower on DIY projects, the cost of materials can offset those savings.

INFLUENTIAL JAZZ MUSICIANS
Bessie Smith (1894-1937): While there are female instrumentalists in the genre of jazz, in the early days many, such as Bessie Smith, were vocalists. Born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Smith would come to be known as “Empress of the Blues” thanks to her powerful voice. By the 1920s, Smith was among the highest paid black performers. Tragically, Smith’s life was cut short when she died from injuries sustained in a car crash on her way to a show in Memphis in 1937.

Understand How Systemic Lupus Affects a Person’s Body
DEAR DR. ROACH: What is lupus, and what does it do to your body? I just had a friend who was diagnosed with it after many months of tests. -- T.S.B.
ANSWER: The term “lupus” generally means systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE), which is a systemic disorder as its name suggests. So, by definition, it affects multiple systems of the body.
One of the most commonly affected systems is the skin, and one particular localized disease of the skin -- discoid lupus -- is a condition that helps make the diagnosis of SLE. I sometimes hear people with discoid lupus say that they have “lupus,” but it is not the systemic disease unless other criteria are met. Other skin conditions seen with SLE include the classic “butterfly” rash on the face, marked sun sensitivity, mouth ulcers, and hair loss.
People with SLE commonly have systemic or “constitutional” symptoms such as fatigue, fever and generalized aching. Weight loss is common with early SLE, but some people gain weight due to salt and water retention from the kidney manifestations of SLE or from treatment.
Joint problems (both pain and swelling) are present in over 90% of people with SLE. It always affects more than one joint. Kidney problems with protein in the urine are common and a diagnostic criterion. Neurological disorders are infrequent but may include seizures, peripheral neuropathy, and acute confusion or psychosis.
The lining of the heart and lungs are often affected, which can be heard by an examiner. An electrocardiogram shows typical changes. All of the blood cells -- red, white and “blue” (platelets) -- can be decreased.
Finally, there are blood proteins that are elevated in people with SLE.The ANA level is almost always high, but this is not a specific finding. I have seen more patients misdiagnosed with lupus because of a high ANA level and no other criteria for SLE than I have ever seen correctly diagnosed.
The anti-Smith antibody is much more specific but not commonly seen, while the anti-double-stranded DNA test is more common and specific than an ANA test. Blood tests alone do not diagnose SLE.
There are different scoring systems to make the diagnosis of definite and probable SLE using these criteria, but in clinical practice, the diagnosis is made using the judgment of an experienced clinician. In my practice, I refer all of my patients with suspected SLE to a rheumatologist.
The diagnosis of SLE isn’t completely straightforward and requires expertise, while the management of SLE requires a clinician who is both experienced and currently up-to-date in the medical treatment.This, again, usually means a rheumatologist.
Seventy years ago, prior to the development of steroids, the diagnosis of SLE used to be extremely dangerous, with half of people who were newly diagnosed dying within five years. Since steroids have many side effects and aren’t 100% effective, many new drugs have been developed, and most people who are diagnosed with SLE now can be well-managed.
However, it is still a serious, life-changing diagnosis that increases the risk of heart disease and cancer in addition to all the organ issues mentioned above. A general doctor working with the rheumatologist can recommend treatments to reduce your heart risk, as well as appropriate cancer screening tests.

HOW TO KEEP DOGS SAFE AND CONTENT
Socialize the pet. Learning how to respond to other dogs and people is an important aspect of canine life. If the pet is to get along with other dogs, it needs to have high exposure to other animals every day and in various scenarios. Socialization can begin as soon as a puppy is immunized and able to venture out with others.

Handy travel tips from a well-traveled pet owner
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: As a seasoned traveler with hunting dogs, as well as puppies and family pets, going cross-state and cross-country, I find that you left out a few crucial items in your travel list important for dog safety/ health when traveling.
First, an IIHS/NHTSA approved crate(s) for the dog(s) or, at minimum, safety belt harness(es) that will restrain the dog(s) in the event of a crash. I have personally seen where dogs have gotten loose from an accident scene, and run off in fear and gotten lost because they were not restrained! Small dogs sitting on laps are not “restrained.”
Second, a basic animal first aid kit in case of emergency due to a cut, bite, ingestion of something, etc., before one can get to emergency vet care on a trip.
Third, water. It’s always best to bring at least a couple quarts of water from home to have handy for rest areas or pull-offs with no services like running water.
Thank you for considering my input on this topic. -- Betsy M., via email
DEAR BETSY: Absolutely essential items! Thank you for adding to the list. A separate first aid kit for pets, included in their bag of supplies so that it’s easy to find, is important. And using an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) or National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) approved crate has been shown to reduce or prevent pet injuries in the event of a crash. For dogs in the back seat, rather than a crate, a pet safety belt and harness is a much safer option than a collar and leash, or worse, just letting your pet sit unbelted. Make these investments for your pet before a trip -- and for everyday travel.

KEEPING IT LOCAL, TOGETHER.
Dear Readers,
Lately, it feels like the world is moving faster than ever — with constant talk about technology, artificial intelligence, and big changes coming our way. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by it all.
We want to give you a break from all the noise when you read the Penny Saver. We want to continue to curate a product that you feel good about reading, where you can learn about what’s happening with your neighbors and feel proud about living in our beautiful region. e Penny Saver has been many things to many people but the one constant for the publication has been a focus on “local”. To that end, we want to expand all that we share with you to make this the best and most useful publication. So what does this mean?
e bottom line is we want to create and share more local content. at might include stories about high school athletes, highlights of local trails and other natural gems to visit, homesteading tips, reviews of new books coming out from local authors, shared local poetry, new playground reviews, and even local generational recipe sharing! ese are just a taste of what we want to build. However, our focus will not be on hard news. Politics and police blotters have never been our specialty, and we want to leave that type of reporting to the folks in the news that do that best.
ere is a reality to these ambitions. Costs continue to rise, especially for postage and revenue is unpredictable due to an ever-changing advertising landscape. We’ve worked hard since the pandemic to lower our costs and provide the same great service to you, but adding content to better serve readers requires more resources.
Here’s what we’re asking. If every home that receives the Penny Saver gave $5 we would be able to fund all of this local content and more. Our goal is to keep the Penny Saver a free publication and available to as many readers in the community as possible. What we are seeking is an investment from you in the product you love to make it even better.
It’s said in our industry that the health of a local publication is a direct reflection of the community it serves. Our commitment to local goes beyond our content. Our paper is printed right in Avon, NY by employees, managers, and owners that live here in Western New York. We hope to remain strong for many years to come and even foster the next generation of readers who share the love of “local”.
We’ve included a form below and we so appreciate your attention and support of the Penny Saver’s future.
Thank you for your consideration and your readership. The Genesee Valley Penny Saver & Featured Media Management Team

Whispers by Patricia Mclain
Went outside tonight to sit
To see the beauty and enjoy it
Heard the whispers of the trees
As they caught the gentle breeze
Grass is so velvet green and cool to touch
I love God’s creations so very much
Took a little walk...the flowers to see
Such wonderful colors...was pleasant to breathe
Heard the song of a bird
So ly letting its goodnight to be heard
Li ed my eyes to the blue dark sky
Saw beautiful diamonds blinking their eyes
Remembered the days of childhood
Lie on the green grass we would
Looked at all stars above
Made us appreciate the god of love

Small ings Make All e Difference
Recently, our family was celebrating our grandson’s birthday at the Yates Town Park. As we were ready to serve the cake we realized the forks were missing. I went to the pavilion next to us and asked if they had extra forks we could have. Several of the people in their group were very happy to share some forks with us. I thanked them for their kindness and generosity but wanted to give them another “Thank you!” for helping us out. Sometimes it’s the small things that make all the difference!
What are the zoning laws in a small town when it comes to goats and how they are treated? Plus, [local] structures that are not used for goats? I drive this road to the [local food store] and hope not to hit a goat. Will have to use different roads. Just be kind to goats and humans.

Save money at the Habitat ReStore
It’s that time of year again. Summer is fading and it’s time to start thinking about what cold weather might bring. As well as revisiting the parts of the to-do list that didn’t get completed during the summer.
In my house that incomplete portion of my list includes painting the stairs before management notices the peeling and issues a fine and having a new window installed in the living room.
The reasons for not having done those things yet are the price of a can of paint ($42 for a gallon when I need less than a quart) and over $500 for the window, installation not included.
Do you see a pattern here?
And yes, it’s the price of nearly everything nowadays that keeps so many of us from taking care of things like we should.
However, I’ve just learned of a way to get at least a few things on my list: The Habitat for Humanity ReStore. They have 900 locations across the country, and one of those just happens to be near me.
Started in 1976, Habitat for Humanity is the group that will build homes around the world that are then sold for affordable amounts to low and moderate income families, improve and repair houses for seniors so they can stay in their homes, provide disaster response, and much more.
TheirHabitatReStoresareloadedwithgoodqualityusedmerchandise that they take in with donations. It not only keeps household items out of the landfills, but it allows people to buy those items at very reduced prices. They carry used furniture, building materials, appliances, housewares and so much more, some of it donated by corporations.
We are looking for compassionate people to assist in caring for our clients & patients.
