Brockport Sidewalk Sale
St. Luke’s Episcopal Church Book and Hot Dog Sale back by popular demand
St. Luke’s Episcopal Church will hold its annual Book and Hot Dog Sales to coincide with the Brockport Sidewalk Sale, Thursday, July 10, through Saturday, July 12, at 14 State Street, Brockport.
Book Sale hours are: Thursday and Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to noon. Hot Dog Sale hours are Thursday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
“People tell us they look forward to our book sale each year and come prepared to stock up on all their favorite authors. It is fun welcoming them back as they share their joy of reading and pleasure in shopping our sale,” says Ricki DeBaun, who, with Committee Co-Chair and fellow St. Luke’s member Katherine Kristansen, spearheaded the three-day event.
St. Luke’s annual Hot Dog Sale helps to fund Luke’s Layettes, the Parish’s mission to provide baby clothes, diapers and much more for families in need. Rosemary Catlin and Celia Berry oversee Luke’s Layettes, ensuring the shelves are fully stocked with essentials for moms and babies. “It is always a joy to be able to help moms and dads welcome their newborn infants. We receive calls from community service organizations, parents, grandparents, and even friends of families throughout the year, letting us know the need is great. Luke’s Layettes is a way of helping to meet this need while extending a warm welcome to our newest neighbors,” said Catlin.
“A huge thank you to the Brockport Wegmans, Walmart, and Hamlin Tops for their generous donations, which make the hot dog stand possible,” says Catlin.
St. Luke’s collects diverse reading materials throughout the year for adults, teens and children, including hundreds of hardcovers and paperbacks in all genres, plus puzzles, CDs, and DVDs. “The money we raise from the Book Sale is used to help fund our community mission projects. It’s a way of giving back to the community while serving God and one another,” says DeBaun. “Saturday, the final day of the sale, books are sold by the bag full, but you will want to shop early for best selections.”
All are welcome to stop in and browse the book sale, and enjoy a hot dog, soda, and chips, while helping to support St. Luke’s missions and service to the community. For more information about the sales or to donate books, contact St. Luke’s at 585637-6650. If you supply a little free library, contact SLB14office@gmail.com. Provided information

Hilton man overcomes cerebral palsy to run the
Diagnosed with cerebral palsy at just two years old, Excellus BlueCross BlueShield employee Chad Williams, of Hilton, has spent his life overcoming obstacles that most runners never have to face. Now, his
maker 15K Road Race in Utica July 13, with someone incredibly special by his side.
Cerebral palsy affects movement, muscle tone, and posture. For Chad, it has meant years of physical therapy, a surgical procedure in his youth, and daily perseverance just to manage routine tasks.
In 2022, Chad decided to challenge himself in a new way – through running. He began with a 5K that included twenty obstacles along the course. Chad soon learned he was just as capable as every other runner and eventually ran in his first Boilermaker race.
“Once I got running, I realized that I was in the middle of the pack,” he said. “The community was supportive, it really changed things for me and that really propelled me to continue running and I ran a race every month that year.”
Every step he takes is more meaningful, but Chad says the Boilermaker will mean even more this year, as his 17-year-old son Chad Michael will tackle the race for the first time alongside him.
For Chad, crossing the finish line with his son adds a new layer of pride – one that celebrates not just how far he’s come, but the legacy of strength and determination he’s passing on.

Persistence pays off: CSX agrees to repair Gillett Road Bridge
by Mike Zale, Ogden Town Supervisor
After more than 550 days of frustration and stalled progress, I’m pleased to share that the Gillett Road Bridge is finally on its way to being reopened. Thanks to a collaborative and persistent effort, CSX has agreed to repair the overpass – and construction is already underway.
The closure of the CSX Gillett Road
to piece-meal this together while avoiding the unresolved question of bridge ownership simply didn’t work – and progress stalled.
That changed on June 3, when we held a joint press conference with the Ogden Police Department, Spencerport Fire District, Gates Volunteer Ambulance, Town Board, and Village of Spencerport to demand accountability from CSX. The message was clear: public safety and community connectivity cannot wait.
Since that press conference, we’ve kept the pressure on. Our formal letter to CSX was met with a response – and a commitment to resume conversations. I know this was met with some skepticism, and rightfully so based on what has transpired over the past year-and-a-half or so. But over the past two weeks, I’ve been in direct contact with a CSX affiliate from Winn Construction, working to find a solution that works for Ogden.
I am pleased to announce that our efforts
have led to a successful outcome on multiple fronts. First, Winn Construction has now begun major repairs to the CSX Bridge. These repairs won’t take years – they’ll take weeks. Once complete, the bridge will be inspected by the state and county to ensure it meets all safety standards before it officially reopens.
Second, and almost just as important, CSX has agreed to assume full responsibility for the bridge’s ongoing maintenance – a major
my sincere thanks to County Executive Adam Bello and the county’s legal department for stepping in with key support, especially with their demand letter that added necessary legal pressure.
I’m also grateful to our own Ogden Town Board members – I appreciate your support in taking a more strategic and collaborative approach directly with CSX. To County Legislator Robert Colby for his continued involvement and advocacy on behalf of Ogden. And to Congressman Joe Morelle who was one of the first people to answer my phone call and take this situation seriously. This outcome is a testament to what can be accomplished when local and county partners work together toward a shared goal. Together, we’ve shown that persistence, unity, and clear communication can lead to real results. The CSX Gillett Road Overpass Bridge is coming back – and with it, a stronger and more connected community.
Have a Safe and Happy
Chad at the Boilermaker Race in 2024.

NYS American Legion Auxiliary hosting Empire Girls State at SUNY Brockport
The New York State American Legion Auxiliary (ALA) is hosting the 84th ALA Empire Girls State session at SUNY Brockport from June 30 to July 6. This year, 300 outstanding high school students from all across New York State have been chosen to participate in the week-long program where they will learn about the inner workings of state, local, and county government.
This premier leadership conference is designed to provide practical insight into the workings of the government, promote youth civic engagement, instill a sense of pride in America, and empower the next generation of women leaders, providing them with a network that lasts a lifetime. A key component of the ALA Girls State program is the mock legislative sessions in which the girls write and debate bills. Campaigns are held to elect local officials and an ALA Empire Girls State governor. In addition to their
government forums, the delegates hear distinguished guest speakers, learn various aspects of Americanism, and learn about the sacrifices of the American military. At the end of the week, participants will select two of their peers to represent the state of New York at ALA Girls Nation in Washington, DC.
“The ALA Empire Girls State experience is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for young leaders across our state,” said Claire Herrman-Moran, American Legion Auxiliary Girls State chairman. “After attending ALA Empire Girls State, the participants come back to their communities filled with patriotism and pride, having gained new leadership skills and built strong connections with the other students.”
“ALA Empire Girls State exemplifies our mission to inspire the next generation of civic-minded leaders through education, service, and patriotism,” said Kim Quick, American Legion Auxiliary Department of New York President. “It’s incredible to see 300 students come together to grow as citizens and connect with one another in a program that truly changes lives.”

Profiles in policing: The Night Shift
The final installment of an occasional series focusing on the officers of the Brockport Police Department, their jobs, their stories, and their thoughts on policing.
by Margay Blackman, Brockport Village Mayor
As I wind up my term as Mayor, it seems appropriate that I close the Profiles in Policing series with the late-night platoon (10 p.m. to 6 a.m.). When May and the end of the semester at SUNY Brockport arrived, I did a two-hour ride-along (10 p.m. to midnight) with each of the three night shift officers – Evan Blodgett, Ryan Kelly, and Matt Adams.
Officer Evan Blodgett
My first ride-along was with Officer Evan Blodgett on Friday, May 9, the last day of SUNY classes, a celebratory evening for college students before final exams and graduation.
Evan came to the Brockport Police Department in 2016 by way of a short stint in college (“not for me,” he said) followed by three-and-a-half years in the Army, the police academy, part-time police jobs in LeRoy and Holley, and finally, the Brockport Police Department (BPD). He has worked all shifts. Both he and his wife grew up in the greater Rochester area and live in the area with their young children.
It was early the first time we drove by Masons and the Red Jug Pub on Clinton Street and Merchant Street, respectively; there was no line at the former and just a short one at Red Jug. It would get much busier as the night wore on. I asked if there was a strategy for bar closing. “We just make a presence, lights on, to deter anything from occurring. We talk to bouncers but don’t walk all the way through the bar.” On Friday and Saturday nights, “these streets (on the south side of the canal) get more love than those across the canal.” As he spoke, the other two officers on duty were patrolling the north side of the canal. I asked about ticketing people. Blodgett described himself as “more of an educational officer. I don’t believe everyone deserves a ticket. Honesty goes a long way with me. If you’ve learned something from this mistake, I’ll use my discretion. I’d rather educate if they’re receptive.” But, education aside, there are certainly times to write tickets.
On one of our circuits of the village, we were traveling east on West Avenue when, suddenly, Officer Blodgett made a quick U-turn, switched on his flashing lights, and pulled over a car headed towards the stoplight at Redman Road doing 86 mph. It took a while to deliver the ticket to the driver because he didn’t have his license with him. “He could be looking at a lot of points on his license,” Blodgett mused. That prompted me to ask about body cams. “Some agencies have them on all the time, but you can’t be yourself. We use them at all traffic stops and when you believe a verbal or physical argument is about to ensue.”
Another turn through the village spoke to me of nighttime vigilance. During the first platoon, regardless of the time of year, it’s dark, very dark. As a passenger, I noted how different the village looks in the dark – streets not so easily recognizable, detecting motion in the shadows more difficult, and the need for a flashlight whenever you exit the car. Going down Utica Street by Monica’s Park, a moving object in the background caught Officer Blodgett’s eye. It was the new “We Go Round” (an adaptive merry-go-round) being tested out by a couple of college students. Vigilance, indeed! Evan reminded them that the park closes at dusk.
We were called to Adams Street to a house party that a resident had complained about. Several male college students were outdoors engaged in beer pong with music playing. It was a calm, windows-open night, and the not excessively loud sound easily carried beyond the property. The students were compliant and turned off the music.
Officer Ryan Kelly
Two days after my ride-along with Evan Blodgett, I joined Officer Ryan Kelly in his police car on a Sunday night at 10 p.m. Officer Kelly is a SUNY Brockport graduate with a degree in History. He was also a Brockport football player. He met his wife, now a SUNY Vice President, when she was a student at SUNY Brockport. The Kellys live not far away, and in good weather, Ryan rides his bike to work on the canal path. “I’m the big guy on the bike with the headphones trying to get home to go to bed.”
Like Blodgett, Kelly has a military background. After graduating, he lived at home and worked at 84 Lumber. He didn’t like the job at all, wasn’t happy living at home, and wanted a change. His student loans kicked in, and he enlisted in the Army. He hoped for Italy or Germany but ended up at Fort Drum, three hours from home. “Anyone else would have been super happy, but I’m like, ‘Oh come on, not Fort Drum!’”
Following his Army tour, Kelly got hired at Wegmans, took the civil service test, and was eventually reached on the civil service list to secure a job with University Police (UP) at SUNY Brockport in 2017. He served five years there and then had an opportunity to transfer to the BPD in 2022. Policies at UP and BPD are different, especially in regards to all the education laws that apply to the former, so once with BPD, Kelly did the rigorous field training on all shifts required of a new village police officer.
Our two-hour ride-along was fairly unremarkable. We stopped a car on Main Street with a headlight out and another going 44 mph down Main Street. A pickup parked sideways at Barry Street Park held a couple watching a YouTube video before the female was to be dropped off at her parents’ home in the village. Officer Kelly reminded them that the park closed at dusk.
Readers may recall back at the end of April when a section of North Main Street was shut down due to a major criminal investigation. Officer Kelly played a central role in the apprehension of a suspect involved in a homicide in the city of Rochester. Ryan had stopped the suspect vehicle in the crime for running a four-way stop in the village and recognized it as one known locally to Brockport patrols. The RPD took over the investigation, aided by the BPD, Sheriffs, Odgen PD, and University Police.
Officer Matt Adams
My third night shift ride-along was the following night, Monday, May 12, with the newest officer in the BPD, Matt Adams. Matt had only recently completed field training, during which he worked every shift. Days (2nd Platoon), he said, are unbelievably fast; afternoons (3rd Platoon) are the hardest for him because of family life – dinner, bathtime, and bedtime for the kids. He prefers the night shift.
Officer Adams grew up in Churchville, and he, his wife, and his young family live there now. Matt graduated from SUNY Brockport with a degree in Criminal Justice. Following graduation, he took a job as a Monroe County 911 dispatcher (2009-2018) “to help people,” he said, “but I couldn’t see myself doing this for 30 years.” University Police dispatch offered more options, including transitioning to road patrol, so he transferred there. “I was pretty close to the cutoff age of 35 for a police officer, so it was now or never. I switched to UP dispatch, put myself through the police academy, and finally got full-time road patrol at UP in 2020. UP is a good starting point because they have downtime during the summers when kids are off, and they send all their guys to training.”
“I like to do one giant lap of the village at the beginning of the shift so I know what’s going on,” Matt explained as I climbed into his car. Our first call was to Nichols Service, where a couple of men
were grappling with a car on a trailer.
Sgt. Hagen had reported them to the BPD to check on as he left for home at the end of his shift. It turns out they were just dropping off a car that was stuck on the trailer. They were advised to leave the car there on the trailer. Monday night was relatively quiet. We stopped a car with a taillight out and gave the driver a warning to get it fixed. After 11 p.m., we sat for some time by the old Senior Center to look for speeding traffic from the Nortera shift that had just ended. “See that guy just leaving work with a headlight out?” Matt said. “I’m not going to harass him. I’m sure he’s had a long enough day.”
Describing the weekday night shift, Matt noted, “Up until bar close, you have traffic and stuff like that. And past that, we do parking tickets, which takes an hour to hour-and-a-half. And then we like to do directed patrol somewhere for at least an hour – get out of the car and walk – foot patrol. Check the locks on businesses. We still keep busy with call volume on the night shift, but the bar volume dwindles in the summer. Also, we issue fewer parking tickets. Checking for parking after 2 a.m. is a good way to drive every street in the village. Even if everyone is sleeping, maybe we catch a wave from someone who can’t sleep and now knows that we are out there, not just sitting in our car in the back of a lot scrolling on our phones.”
Officers Blodgett, Kelly, and Adams echoed their colleagues when discussing policing in Brockport. They are here because they want to be. They are strong advocates for community policing; they value policing in a small community where they know people. They see themselves and the BPD as a team. Matt summed up the sentiment: “I feel very lucky to be a part of this department in this community.”
Author’s Note:
The research for this project began in February of 2024 and ended just as my tenure as Mayor concluded at the end of June 2025. I did ride-alongs (sometimes more than one) with the officers featured in the articles. I sat with the Lieutenant and Chief for interviews and also with Investigator Dawson, who was on light duty due to an injury on the job. The project entailed 26 hours of interviews with 11 BPD members; I missed interviewing Sgt. Hagen and Officer Lucas VanderVort. Readers would also have benefitted from knowing Police Clerk Kim Rademacher, who manages the voluminous departmental paperwork and is critical to the smooth operation of the BPD. I hope these articles accomplished their purpose of looking beyond the uniform and badge to the humanity of the Brockport police. I thank them for their time and candor. I learned a lot.

On June 14, Harvey C. Noone American Legion Post 954 hosted a moving Flag Day Ceremony that brought the community together to honor our nation’s symbol and the veterans who have served under it. Over 100 residents, veterans, and families gathered at the Legion Hall for a ceremony filled with patriotism, remembrance, and heartfelt tributes — led by 1st Vice Commander Tony Torcello.
A highlight of the event was the dedication of a newly constructed flag retirement fire pit, the vision of Alexis Maysick, a local youth who developed the project to honor her family’s military service and for her Girl Scouts Gold Award. With guidance from her parents and help from her younger brother Carter,
Alexis spent countless hours planning, designing, and building the fire pit. A personalized brick path surrounds the fire pit. Veterans, their families, and community members can purchase commemorative bricks to add to the pathway.
As part of the ceremony, local Scouts respectfully folded and presented worn and tattered American flags, which were then reverently retired in the new fire pit. The Scouts’ participation highlighted the values of respect and civic duty shared across generations.
The Legion also rededicated a historical artifact: a captured WWII German 88mm artillery piece, once rusted and deteriorated. Legionnaire Al Cullen devised a plan to restore it, and the skilled crew at Blastworks sandblasted, repaired, and restored it with a field gray color. Both Al and the Blastworks team were recognized during the ceremony for their dedication and craftsmanship.
Elected officials attending the event included Churchville Mayor John Hartman, Deputy Mayor Diane Pusateri, and Town of Riga Council Member Debbie Campanella, all of whom expressed gratitude for the service of veterans and the involvement of local youth.
The event was a true community celebration of service, sacrifice, and pride – a powerful reminder of the importance of honoring our flag and those who

GCV&M hosting Smithsonian Exhibit Voices and Votes through July 25
Genesee Country Village & Museum is the ninth stop in the New York tour of the “A New Agora for New York: Museums as Spaces for Democracy” project hosted by the Museum Association of New York (MANY). This project includes Voices and Votes: Democracy in America, a Museum on Main Street (MoMS)
exhibition developed by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Services (SITES), Freedom Fighter: Mary Gray Peck and Social Reform an exhibition developed by GCV&M, and a series of humanities discussion programs. The exhibitions and programs, on view in GCV&M’s John L. Wehle Gallery through Friday, July 25, examine the nearly 250-year-old American experiment of a government “of, by and for the people,” and how each generation since continues to question how to form “a more perfect union.”
Voices and Votes explores the action, reaction, vision, and revision democracy demands as Americans continue to question how to shape American values. From the revolution and suffrage to civil rights and casting ballots, all communities are part of the evolving story of democracy in America. Exhibition sections highlight the origins of American democracy, the struggles to obtain and keep the vote, the machinery of democracy, the right to petition and protest beyond the ballot, and the rights and responsibilities of citizens. The exhibition includes multimedia interactives and historical objects like campaign souvenirs, voter memorabilia, and protest materials.
“Genesee Country Village & Museum is honored to be the Rochester-area site for Voices and Votes. As a museum dedicated to sharing stories of the history of New York, we look forward to visitors learning more about how democracy has evolved over the past 250 years and the stories of those from our area who had an impact on it,” said Becky Wehle, GCV&M President & CEO.
“A New Agora for New York: Museums as Spaces for Democracy,” a museum capacity building and humanities discussion series
project, was initially funded by the NEH and uses Voices and Votes as a launching point for museums and their communities to explore, reflect on, and tell the story of their role in the evolution of American Democracy. Despite the loss of federal funding, this project continues thanks to the tremendous local and museum community support.
“New York State has an incredibly rich history of civic participation and leadership,” said MANY’s Agora Project Fellow, Ren Lee. “This project provides an opportunity for these museums to share the unique stories of their communities’ fight for freedom and what that means for the future.”
GCV&M’s response exhibition, Freedom Fighter: Mary Gray Peck and Social Reform will tell the story of Mary Gray Peck from Ontario County who devoted her life to supporting social reforms. She was an aide to suffragist Carrie Chapman Catt and saw firsthand the ratification of the 19th amendment. After suffrage, she fought for women’s education and advancement, free speech, and other causes. Mary’s grandparents owned the Jones Farmhouse, now located in GCV&M’s Historic Village, and she grew up across the street from the Farmhouse.
Admission to both Voices and Votes and Freedom Fighter is included with Museum admission.
Humanities Discussion Series and exhibition-related programs include:

Cancer Support Community at Gilda’s Club receives grant for Digital Sherpa program
Cancer Support Community at Gilda’s Club Rochester has received a $5,000 2025 Community Challenge grant as part of AARP’s $4.2 million commitment to fund 383 quick-action projects aimed at making communities more livable for people of all ages, with a focus on the needs of older adults.
The Community Challenge grant supports the organization’s objective to empower cancer patients who are 50 and older in the use of digital technology. Through its Digital Sherpa program, Cancer Support Community at Gilda’s Club Rochester aims to educate adult cancer patients on to how to safely use technology as a tool to help them through their cancer journey.
To assist cancer patients with digital empowerment, Cancer Support Community at Gilda’s Club Rochester will offer monthly seminars on navigating the digital world and provide one-on-one support for patients. Patients and their care partners can learn basic internet and social media skills. They can also learn how to access their patient portals and find information and support regarding their illness, as well as have their specific technology-related questions answered by a technology facilitator. Digital Empowerment workshops
will focus each session on a specific technology platform or website such as: How to Navigate Your Patient Portal; How To Access the Internet; Identifying Credible Resources; Using Social Media to Connect and Learn; Using Mobile Devices to Improve Health; Using Telemedicine; and Accessing Mental Health and Support Group Resources.
“Navigating technology for older people can be intimidating and challenging given all the nuances of each platform. Fo cancer patients it can be even more so,” stated James F. Love, Cancer Support Community at Gilda’s Club Chief Executive Officer. “For those battling cancer, the navigation of some websites like MyChart, or even hospital and medical center websites, and the internet in general, can be confusing and frustrating. Through our Digital Sherpa program, the workshops will focus on specific technology topics, applications, and uses to help our adult members learn how to use the internet safely and, ultimately, be more comfortable in the use of technology as a valuable resource to support their cancer journey.”
The Cancer Support Community at Gilda’s Club Rochester, founded in 1959, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedi-
cated to providing personalized support for anyone impacted by cancer including cancer patients of any age, family members and caregivers. They offer free programs designed to enhance emotional and mental well-being, promote a healthy lifestyle, encourage social connections, provide information and education, and referral assistance. Annually, Cancer Support Community at Gilda’s Club Rochester serves over 4,000 people and offers more than 1,000 free programs to meet the educational, social, emotional, and mental health needs of those navigating the challenges of a cancer journey. For more information, call 585-423-9700 or visit www. cscrochester.org.
Now in its ninth year, the Challenge has awarded $736,188 through 63 grants in New York since 2017 to nonprofit organizations and local government entities across the state. Grant projects will be funded in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. View the full list of grantees and their projects at aarp.org/communitychallenge.

Historical marker dedicated at Parma Union Cemetery
The morning of Tuesday June 18, twenty-five members of the Parma Hilton Historical Society and Parma town officials gathered at 260 Parma Center Road, in front of Parma Union Cemetery, to dedicate a historical marker. The Parma Hilton Historical Society financed the marker which honors the cemetery which has become the final resting place for many families over the 172 years since its founding in 1853.
Town Supervisor Jim Roose welcomed everyone, Reverend Nancy Laport gave the invocation, Parma Hilton Historian Dave Crumb gave some history of the cemetery, and Tom Burger, local funeral director, spoke in detail of his involvement caring for the cemetery over the last 50 years.

New book details paddleboarding journey that included a local stop
In June 2023, Canadian writer Dan Rubinstein lashed camping gear to his stand-up paddleboard and embarked on an improbable solo voyage from Ottawa to Montreal, New York City, Toronto, and back to Ottawa along the rivers, lakes, and canals of a landlocked region.
Westside News caught up with him on July 30, 2023, when he stopped overnight in Spencerport to camp. He said that standing upright on the water and moving with or against the flow allowed him to see his surroundings in a new way and that he was planning to write a book about his experience.
During his journey of over 1,200 miles and 10 weeks, Rubinstein explored the healing potential of “blue space” – the aquatic equivalent of green space – and sought out others drawn to their local waters. The farther Rubinstein paddled, the more he realized that being in, on, or around water does more than boost our mental and physical health and prompt stewardship toward the natural
world. He discovered that blue spaces are also a way to connect with the kaleidoscopic cross-section of people he met and the diverse geographies and communities he passed through.
Water Borne: a 1,200-mile padd leboarding p ilgrimage has recently been released. In it, Rubenstein weaves together research, interviews, and an unmacho, malodorous, anticolonial adventure tale. He shows readers that they don’t need an epic journey to find solutions to so many modern challenges. Repair and renewal may be close at hand: just add water.
Water Borne can be ordered from Lift Bridge Book Shop in Brockport.

Eight graduate SANYS-U
On May 31, eight graduates stood proudly with certificates from SANYSU in front of local representatives, friends, and family at Orleans County Cornell Cooperative Extension.
SANSY-U is a six-week course developed by the Self-Advocacy Association of New York State (SANYS) in 2011. This program is designed to provide people with developmental disabilities and their direct support staff with a deeper understanding of self-advocacy through engaging discussions, hands-on activities, and collaborative learning. Arc GLOW had a second cohort of five self-advocates and three self-direction assistants successfully completing the program.
Willow Baer, the newly appointed commissioner of the New York State Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD), had a recorded message for the graduates, and Orleans County District Attorney Susan Howard gave words of encouragement. Sophia Roberts and B.J. Stasio from SANYS presented the graduates with their certificates with Julia Bauer, constituent relations staff and community liaison for state Sen. Rob Ortt, and Assemblyman Steve Hawley giving each graduate a citation.
This graduation was a special one as it was held on the 4th Annual

Jonathan Doherty and Gladys Hopper Self-Advocacy Day, established in honor of two self-advocates and founding members of Orleans County Self-Advocacy All-Stars.
“At the time of his passing, Jonathan was deeply committed to creating a day that celebrated and empowered self-advocates. To carry forward his vision and legacy, our group came together to make his dream a reality – and Self-Advocacy Day was born,” said Andrew Johnson, President of the Self-Advocacy All-Stars and graduate of SANYS-U. “Each year, we bring together individuals, advocates, and organizations to share resources, ideas, and inspiration. We invite community partners to speak or host informational tables on a variety of topics that support independence, well-being, and advocacy.”
Johnson added the Self-Advocate Annual Talent Show raised $900, and they wanted to give back this year. They donated $200 each to SANYS-U and Mercy Flight.
