Greece Town Supervisor Bill Reilich and Veteran Gary Beikirch unveil the Memorial Hall sign.

Memorial Hall Dedicated in Honor of Community Veterans

On May, 25, 2016 at Greece Town Hall, Supervisor Bill Reilich was joined by Greece Town Board Members Michael Barry Jr., Brett Granville, Andrew Conlon, and Diana Christodaro as well as Vietnam War Veteran and Medal of Honor recipient Gary Beikirch, for a Memorial Hall dedication ceremony in honor for our town’s veterans.

Every year during the month of May, communities all through-out Monroe County and our nation take a moment out of their daily lives to both honor and remember the men and women who have fought and continue to fight to safeguard the freedoms and liberties we enjoy today. Memorial Hall is a testament to the spirit of their patriotism, courage, and duty and who through their military service courageously have put their lives on the lines of combat so that we today can enjoy the many freedoms that have been bestowed upon us.

“As a son of a World War II veteran, I know first-hand of the sacrifices that our veterans have given for our great nation,” said Supervisor Bill Reilich. “Today’s Memorial Hall dedication cere-mony serves as a tribute to the veterans who through their self-less act of patriotism put their lives on the line in order to safe-guard the freedoms and liberties we enjoy today. This hall will forever serve as a testament to their sacrifices and heroism.”

In addition to Memorial Hall, the Gary Beikirch Veterans Me-morial Wall at Greece Town Hall proudly displays the names of over 5,000 service men and women from the Greece commu-nity who have fought during a time of combat. Every year, family members submit the names of their loved ones to be engraved on the memorial. This year, 20 names will be added to the wall and were honored and dedicated during the Towns Memorial Day ceremony. Criteria for individuals to be on the wall include, being a resident of the Town of Greece, served during a time of combat and have their Honorable Discharge papers and/or Form DD214. If you are interested in submitting the name of your loved one for next year, please contact the Supervisor’s of-fice at 723-2311. Provided Information and Photo

GreeceNewsNY.com - Service Business of the Month Farmers Insurance

Meet Nicole Curcio of Farmers Insurance. Nicole has had an entrepreneur spirit since she was a young girl. She began her first business when she was just a teenager in high school. As a teen, Nicole began a landscaping busi-ness that she successfully ran during her high school and college years. After she completed college she sold the business and obtained her Real Estate License. After many successful years in real estate sales, investment properties and mortgages she continued her professional path into Real Estate Appraisals. Nicole underwent Real Estate Ap-praisal classes and became licensed in New York State as a Real Estate Appraiser. She then launched her next busi-ness “Appraise Rochester.” As Appraise Rochester grew she expanded the business into all of New York State by open-ing “Appraise New York”. This state wide appraisal business generated the profits to help Nicole begin her newest ven-ture in the Insurance industry.

Insurance seemed to be a perfect complement to Nicole’s business background and her current client’s needs. She says, “Insurance is something that everyone needs especial-ly those buying new homes or property.” Nicole researched the various insurance companies providing policies in the area and really liked Farmers Insurance. It is new to the area and Nicole is one of the very few agents in the area. The pricing was very competitive, service was outstanding and they offered a unique program called the “Confident (L-R) Sara Kuebel, Nicole Curcio and Kathleen Washnis.

Planner. This program offers very affordable prices to well established and good credit customers. Nicole really felt offering affordable and dependable insurance would be a “natural fit” for her business and customers.

Farmers Insurance has been open since May 2014 and is conveniently located at 888 Long Pond Road near Eng-lish Road in Greece. The office is happy to provide quotes and service on Auto, Home, Renter, Life, Business, Motor-cycle, Recreational and Umbrella insurances.

The Healthy Power of Drinking WaterBy Tami Mungenast Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach

Our bodies are made up of almost 70% water. Water in-take and hydration have an important impact on how you feel and overall health.

Often we can overlook our body’s cry for water. Symp-toms of dehydration are often ignored.

Common symptoms of dehydration: • Thirst • Dark Urine • Fatigue • Digestive disturbances like heartburn and constipation • Chronic fatigue • Premature aging • High Cholesterol • Weight gain

With adequate water intake you can not only improve the performance of your body, but you can also improve your brain function.

Here are some ways the water helps you: • Water helps maximize physical performance. This is particularly important during the summer and when the temps are higher. Dehydration can make exercise feel much more difficult both physically and mentally. Losing as little as 2% of your body’s water can have a significantly negative impact on your performance. • Energy and Brain function is strongly influenced by hydration status. Even mild dehydration can impair brain function, mood, memory, concentration, and increase anx-iety levels.

• Hydration helps with fat loss. Studies indicate that by drinking more water you can increase your metabolism. By being chronically dehydrated you can slow your metabo-lism. Drinking water can help you feel full and as a result you avoid over eating. • Fluids helps the kidney and digestive tract to work optimally. Both the urinary tract and the digestive tract work best when hydration is adequate and consistent. Con-stipation is a very common problem and is often caused by not taking in enough flu-ids.

How much water is best? Really no one can tell you that answer. Every body is different. Some say the 8x8 rule with 64 oz a day, some say you should drink according to your body weight. But it is really based on the individual. Do some self-experimenting and use your urine color to help you best determine what your body needs. Urine should be close to colorless most of the day. Drink often when you are awake. Make sure you drink at the first sign of thirst and drink more when you exercise or when it is hot out-side. And make sure you drink in between meals to ensure you do not confuse hunger with thirst.


Dr. Stephanie Sujoined our group in May 2016. She comes with 12 years of experience and specializes in hard-to-fit contact lens cases, as well as pediatric/teen eye care. Her attributes will

enable patients with dry eye to wear contacts again. She uses the art of orthokeratology, a corneal reshaping technique which slows

the progression of nearsightedness in children and gives adults clear vision throughout the day, without the use of contacts or glasses --

an excellent option for those who want to be free of contacts and glasses

without having surgery.

Dr. Ashley Verdonis a new graduate from Salus University in Pennsylvania. She is originally from the Binghamton area and graduated early from St John Fisher College in

order to pursue her optometry degree. She has extensive training in eye care

related to ocular disease and in contact lenses for families. She is looking

forward to the opportunity to serve the local community and its families.

Lori Russis a NYS licensed optician, bringing over 30 years of experience to our optical shop. Lori’s ability to accommodate your visual needs with the latest lens technology, as well as tie it together in an

attractive, functional frame is unmatched. Lori has a keen eye for selecting products of the highest value, function and durability in the latest styles. She is actively redesigning our optical space and is proud to announce the addition of the famous

“Ray Ban” collection. Lori is happy to see you for consultations, adjustments and repairs.

From the office of The Supervisor, Bill Reilich

A lot has taken place a Town Hall in preparation for a summer filled with many different events for all ages. As always, a lot of planning has taken place for our third annual Old Fashioned Fourth of July Celebration. This year we will start out the day with our Third Annual Freedom Run 5k followed by the Scooby Stars and Striped Fun Run. If you are inter-ested in signing up please visit www.runsignup.com and search for Town of Greece Freedom Run 5k to register or visit our Town’s website and download the registration form. Our fea-tured performance will be the 80’s hit band Ambrosia followed by a spectacular fireworks display to finish the day in true 4th of July Fashion.

The “Wild over Water” Zone officially opened for a second season on May 27th. One of the largest splash parks of its kind in the region, the W.O.W Zone was a huge hit last season and shows additional promise for another great year. I am happy to announce that we have many new improvements to the splash park this year as a result of resident feedback from last season which include increased shade, better seating, bottles of water

for sale and a new parking lot. Additionally we are constructing new restroom facilities for use near the splash park that will be located near the Town Court building. Also new this year is the pass system to get into the W.O.W Zone. Greece town residents will receive a free key tag which they will use to swipe in each time they visit. This key tag is also valid for a free membership to the Community Center, located on the same campus. Entry is free for residents, and $5 for out of town visitors. For more infor-mation on how to obtain a key tag for this park, please contact the Community & Senior Center at 723-2425.

Coming up on August 2nd will be National Night Out. For the second time, we will be hosting this event at the Town Hall cam-pus. Food trucks will be on hand to serve up dinner while the Greece Police Department and other local organizations will be hosting safety and anti- bullying demonstrations. On August 6th, I Dig This Town will also be held. The Public Works Department will be setting up trucks and equipment for kids to explore and play. Face painting and other activities will be available as well.

On a final note, make sure to check out the free summer con-cert series at Town Hall. Starting out this season’s concert series was the Beatles cover band Beatlemagic. The concert drew out hundreds of people who enjoyed the great outdoors while lis-tening to their favorite Beatles songs. Coming up next is Josie Waverly on Sunday, July 31st and Gimmie Buffet on Sunday, Au-gust 14th. All concerts are free to the public and take place at the Pavilion at Town Hall from 2:00pm – 4:00pm.

I hope that you will take advantage of all of our upcoming pro-grams, and if I can be of assistance to you in any other town related matter please do not hesitate to contact our office at 225-2000.

Feeding Neighbors In Needby Barbara Burke

Since 1977 the Greece Ecumenical Food Shelf, 500 Maid-en Lane, Greece has been serving people in Greece and Charlotte neighborhoods by providing food to those with emergency needs. In 1983 the Greece Ecumenical Food Shelf was incorporated into a not-for-profit 501.c3, formed a Board of Directors and next year they will be celebrat-ing the 40th Anniversary of this all volunteer organization that provides nourishing food to individuals and families in need.

“We are an all volunteer group, no one is paid for what they do,” says Publicity Chair Carol Coons. Coons is the first step in the process of receiving food from the Ecumeni-cal Food Shelf. As a “verifier” Coons is responsible for pre-screening those that call and request help from the Food Shelf. “We have an application process that has been work-ing very well for us over the years,” Coons says.

Requests come in for assistance when people call the Food Shelf pager. After answering a few questions, a repre-sentative gets back to them to verify that they qualify for emergency help. Those that qualify for assistance are not required to go to the food shelf, all food is delivered to the home of the recipients.

Deliveries includes a “food unit” which consists of 3 boxes of canned and boxed food items designed to be used over a 3 month period and an assortment of fresh nutritional items that everyone should have including milk, bread, butter, cheese, eggs and meat. “We talk about the needs of the family and prepare the food from their requests,” Coons says. All food is delivered directly to the family in their home by Food Shelf volunteers.

The Greece Ecumenical Food Shelf also has a service called the “Basket Program.” This is food assistance to peo-ple who live alone and have physical or emotional issues that prevent them from going out and providing food for themselves. The Food Shelf has a social worker that can visit when the food is delivered. Deliveries for the “Basket Program” are made once a month, on the 3rd Thursday of each month. Each basket is adjusted and carefully packed to meet individual dietary needs.

Greece Ecumenical Food Shelf Chairperson Polly Mc-Cubbin says that during summer months there are many more than usual requests for emergency help with food. For many summer is a vacation time, but for low income families summer can be a struggle as families try to stretch

their dollars to provide the breakfasts and lunches their children receive at school during the year. McCubbin says, “One message I think is important is that we serve as the community’s agent to help people in Greece and Charlotte who need food. What we can give out to those in need depends upon what the community gives to us. We know that people want to help their neighbors.

Seneca Waterways Council Boy Scouts of America held their 7th annual 21 Stories For Scouts rappelling event on Friday, May 13 in downtown Rochester. The event took place at the First Federal Plaza Building with dozens of people rappelling 309 feet down the side of one of Rochester’s most iconic buildings. The event raised over $81,000 to benefit disadvantaged at-risk youth in the Scouting program, espe-cially in urban environments, by providing camperships and financial assistance with uniforms, books and more to support their Scouting experience. The local scouting program provides opportunities for personal growth, character development, and leadership training for nearly 11,000 youth in over 400 scouting programs across a five-county area including 64 urban scouting programs serving 1,231 youth in the City of Rochester.

“The adrenaline rush of this event for an individual rappelling is very similar to that which our scouts experience at camp when they challenge themselves to go outside their comfort zone,” said Stephen Hoitt, Seneca Waterways Council CEO. “When an 11-year-old scout is standing at the top of a 30 foot climbing wall at camp, there is some nervousness and fear. But by challenging himself and with encourage-ment, he gains self-confidence from his achievement. It’s no different for an adult preparing to rappel 309 feet - 21 stories. There is trepida-tion yet exhilaration at the accomplishment of overcoming barriers that may hold you back from being successful.” Provided Information

No-lan interned for Davidson Fink last year and was excited to hang outside the window and wave to the people he worked with. “The views of Rochester were beautiful, and I was glad to help support local scouting,” Nolan said.

Greece residents, Matthew and Jennifer Kron make rappel-ling down the First Federal Building look like a piece of cake.

LICENSE TO MAKE UPby Diane Rivoli

From a small spark to a hot burn to a slow simmer and now cold nothingness. A bad mood igniting, spreading, and deform-ing reason. A week of living in its charred remains. He felt like dice without spots, a cone that had lost its ice cream, a book with no pages, a deed left undone. Almost nonexistent even, like a shadow or a ghost.

She that meant the most to him lay on her side of the bed, as close to the edge as she could manage without falling off, which translated to as far away from Joe as she could get. An invisible fissure filled with frigid air cleaved the bed in two, assuring that Joe stayed on his side and Lainey stayed on hers.

Joe couldn’t blame Lainey. He’d started the whole thing. He’d been a complete jerk. He was just in a really bad mood that day. Maybe he’d had problems at work. Maybe the popcorn he’d had for a snack had been stale and chewy instead of light and airy. Maybe some moronic jackass had cut him off in traffic and almost caused an accident. Maybe, maybe, maybe. He could make up excuses all day. But none of them were any reason to have said what he’d said and started the huge blowup with his Lainey.

He couldn’t sleep. He hadn’t slept well the whole week. Not since the stupid argument. How could he sleep when he was cold even if he was warm, when he had a hollow ache in the pit of his stomach that had nothing to do with hunger?

Joe got out of the bed and went to the window. The night sky was clear, dark and full of stars. He stared up, entranced, search-ing, as if the solution to his heartache might be written like Morse code in the tiny specks of starry light. But no divine advice en-

sued.With the soft light of the moon and stars to guide him, he wan-

dered quietly through the house - up and down the hall, in and out of rooms. He peaked into the twins room to see them both sprawled out on their bunks, peaceful and quiet in their sleep. Dixie’s old room seemed a barren place now, just a bed and an empty dresser, awaiting a visit from its former occupant when she came home for the holidays.

In the family room, he found himself looking at the books on the bookshelf. Lainey’s favorite, Stephen King, occupied two en-tire shelves. There was the Harry Potter series and the Hunger Games series. There were biographies of John Lennon, Townes Van Zandt, Marilyn Monroe and Arnold Palmer. There were books about history, photography, baseball and how to play the guitar. And then, there is was, the infamous ‘Our Honeymoon’.

Joe took it down off the shelf, sat on a chair and began flip-ping the pages. He smiled and chuckled and he cried as the past twenty-five years flew before his eyes with wistful nostalgia.

Why had he made such a fuss? So what if she called each an-niversary another honeymoon? Honeymoons were good things. How would he feel if instead she chose to call each anniversary another day in Hell? How would he feel if there were no anniver-saries at all? No Honeymoon #26?

With the album in his lap and visions of wedding rings and cruise ships, candlelight and champagne, and Lainey and the three kids dancing around in his head like sugarplums, Joe fell asleep.

“Joe?” A soft voice whispered in his ear, a gentle hand touched his shoulder.

Still half asleep, Joe was sure this was a dream. He had left Lainey sleeping, her back to him, trying to ignore him, to pretend he didn’t exist, cold as an Eskimo in an arctic wasteland.

But the gentle pressure the dream hand applied to his shoulder remained. He could feel warm breath on his cheek. He opened his eyes and there was Lainey’s face, almost touching his own.

“You weren’t in the bed and I got kind of worried. I do love you, you know. It’s just that… Well, you know, we’re both so…. Oh Joe, I’m just sorry. I’m sorry for everything. I don’t want to fight anymore.”

“You don’t have to be sorry. It was all my fault, Lainey. I’m the one who’s sorry. Sorry for being such a stupid jerk. Sorry for let-ting my stubborn streak get the best of me. I love you, Lainey! I don’t want to fight anymore either.”

“Well, I’m stubborn too and I said such horrible things, and… ”“OK, so now are we going to argue about who’s the most stub-

born and who said the most horrible things?”“No but…” Joe placed his finger lightly against Lainey’s lips, stopping any

further conversation. He pulled her onto his lap and they kissed. It was a long, slow kiss that spoke of apologies, forgiveness, and love.

It was something how a bad mood could switch things around, taking the things that you loved the most about someone and transforming them for a moment into something that you dis-liked instead. The tinkling laugh that was like sun-kissed drops of cool rain on a parched soul became a sound that grated your eardrums and scraped on your nerves. The innocent and child-like spirit that made you feel like every day was a holiday, instead seemed silly and childish – irritating and annoying you to your core.

Joe and Lainey cuddled on that chair for a long time, till the

At Hart Hearing Centers, we’ve been providing comprehensive audiology services for nearly 40 years. Our years of experience will help you

make the right choice. Buy the best hearing aids you can afford. More and more insurance companies are providing a benefit to cov-er at least part of the cost of hearing aids so be sure to see if yours does. You might be pleasantly surprised! Keep in mind that the best hearing aids are made by companies you’ve never heard of because they spend their money on research and development. Expect the best, but do not expect new ears. You have two ears, buy two hear-ing aids. Ask any professional and the answer will be the same: The human auditory system functions optimally with a binaural signal. So to accommodate differences in each ear, you need two. Make sure you are comfortable with the professional you are dealing with. See an audiologist. You want to go to some-one you can trust and make sure their #1 goal is to find what works for you.

I know I probably need hearing aids but they seem so expensive.

How do I make the right choice?

Know The Impact of Retirement Goals on Your Future?When you retire, what will you do? Travel? Pur-sue your hobbies? Whatever your goals, you’ll

need to connect them with your financial situation.For example, if you’d like to travel the globe, consider placing a certain amount of money each year in a liquid account that offers significant protection of principal. Set aside enough money to cover all your travels for a year, and when it’s exhausted, you’ll know it’s time to stay home for a while.Also, if you’re going to pursue your hobbies, don’t get carried away. Be aware that some people do get over-exuberant and spend more money on their hobbies than they can really afford. So have fun with your pursuits, but set a budget — and stick to it.Think carefully about what you’d like to do when you retire — and tie your objectives into your finances. By being aware of both your dreams and your “bottom line,” you should be able to enjoy the retirement lifestyle you’ve envisioned.

GreeceNewsNY.com July 2016 27Ralph Presciutti retires as Commander of Greece American Legion Post #468by Tami Raco

At the age of 18 Ralph Presciutti, a Greece Athena graduate, enlisted in the US Army and served as an Infantry Soldier Airborne. When he came back to his hometown of Greece he helped manage a family business and then in 1994 he began his career working at Bob Johnson Chevrolet. Shortly after marrying his wife Julie he became active in the Greece American Legion Post #468 through his father-in-law who served in the Army during the Ko-rean War. Ralph and his family be-came active in the Legion events.

In 2007 Ralph became an official member of the American Legion. As a member he was involved with as-sisting with many of the social activ-ities the Legion had to offer like the annual clambake and USO Shows. He recalls what drew him to be-coming so active in the Legion is the feeling of a strong comradery that he has only felt once before in his life and that was during his time in the military. To him it was the clos-est thing to the feeling of the mili-tary comradery that he missed since he came back to civilian world.

In 2009 Ralph was elected to 2nd Vice Commander and served in this position for 2 years. In 2010 Ralph left his career at Bob Johnson due to a medical disability. His service at the Legion over the years really helped him fill the gap. In 2011 he then ran as 1st Vice Commander and served in this role for two more years. In 2014 Ralph became the Commander of the Post 468. Ralph always liked challenges. “I am more challenge oriented than I am goal oriented,” says Presciutti. He found in the Commander posi-tion he was able to help make a difference. He was motivated by having the opportunities to help veterans in the area who were in need as well as community involvement activities.

One of Ralph’s proudest projects in his time at the Legion is the Annual Benefit Concerts to Support the Wounded Warriors. In 2012 The Schramm family teamed up with Joe Balcerak and Ralph for the idea of the Wounded Warrior Benefit Concert as a way to honor the memory of the Schramm’s son, Brian. Brian was killed while on his second Iraq deployment in a major of-fensive to quell insurgents outside of Baghdad. Brian was only 22 years old. The first benefit was in Brian’s honor and to honor the sacrifices of all those who have fallen during their military service by remembering their comrades and their families. The concert provided a way to have fun, meet heroes and support the cause. The first year the net profits rose for the allocated vet-erans’ benefits were $5,500 and the last two years the concert raised $25,000 which was all donated to worthwhile nonprofit organizations that support veterans and their families.

This year the Post will be holding their 5th Annual Wounded Warrior Benefit Concert on August 20, 2016. The day begins with an Escort Ride celebrating the arrival of the guests of honor and ends at the American Legion Post for a fun day and evening of

food drinks and great live music. The annual election for the Post took place in May. Mark Os-

trander who served in the Marine Corps was elected as the new Commander for the upcoming year. Ralph said, “I feel very com-fortable to have Mark take over as Commander. He brings new blood, new ideas and new opportunities to help support veter-ans and the community.”

Ralph plans to spend his free time with his wife Julie of 26 years, and to continue working in programs for children with dis-abilities with his son Justin. Ralph is involved with the Challenger Baseball program and the Artist’s Unlimited program. He admit-tedly does feel a void not leading the Post but will continue with his veteran outreach in new ways.

The Greece American Legion is a non-profit organization that, with the help of the members, brings people together in Greece. They support our military and veterans, and sponsor American-ism, Patriotism, children and youth programs, cultural, educa-tional and social community activities as well as many types of community-building initiatives. The legion provides this type of support with the assistance of the Sons of the American Legion (SAL) and Auxiliary members to promote American Legion pro-grams and help from our caring neighbors.

Greece Chamber Business & Labor Law Conference to Address Critical IssuesTHURSDAY, JUNE 30, 2016 - Hose 22 Firehouse Grill, 56 Stutson Street, Rochester.

As a business owner are you aware of how costly law-suits and government investigations can be? On June 30, 2016, the Greece Chamber of Commerce will be hosting a conference that will include presentations on how to avoid such lawsuits and investigations. The Greece Chamber’s 2016 Business and Labor Law Conference is part of the Chamber’s newly introduced Competitive Edge Series, which has been created to help small business owners stay on top of critical issues that can affect their business in time consuming and costly ways.

At the June 30th conference, attorneys from Rochester law firm Harris, Chesworth, Johnstone & Welch will present two valuable workshops that will address emerging topics such as paid family leave, employee wages and job clas-sifications, the Affordable Care Act, benefits, insurance, in-corporation options and strategies, and business and labor law. Immediately following the morning workshops will be a luncheon with Keynote Speaker New York State Senator Joseph Robach, who will discuss State legislation and re-sources for business.

The Competitive Edge Series: Business and Labor Law Conference is open to all regional businesses and corpo-rate/nonprofit professionals. Attendees can take advantage of a 30-minute networking period from 8:00 am – 8:30 am and again from 10:00 am – 10:30 am. Those attending the conference can choose just one workshop or attend both with the luncheon also being optional. The networking ses-sions and luncheon, with Keynote Speaker, are available to workshop attendees only. Workshop fees include a conti-nental breakfast.

Greece Chamber of Commerce Members: Workshop 1 or 2 - $35; Workshop 1 & 2 - $50; Lunch - $20. General Pub-lic: Workshop 1 or 2 - $50; Workshop 1 & 2 - $70; Lunch - $25.

Get the latest business information and legal guidance to help protect you and your business in a rapidly changing landscape with this concise, affordable, engaging half-day conference. For more information or to register visit www.GreeceChamber.org or call Terry at 585-227-7272.
