Women’s Club Card/Game party a success

16 Nov

A big shout-out to the Women’s Club of Webster for hosting a very successful Card and Game Party.

The annual event was held Tuesday Nov. 5 at Glendoveers on Old Browncroft Blvd. Players were invited to come solo or with friends and bring any kind of game they wanted. More than 100 women attended and the games ranged from euchre to mahjong to dominoes and many more. In addition to the games, participants enjoyed coffee and danish in the morning, a luncheon, drawings and raffles for almost two dozen beautiful baskets filled with goodies.

The annual card party is one of the biggest fund-raising events of the year for the Women’s Club, and it did not disappoint this year. Between the event admission, beautiful gift basket raffles, drawings and outright donations, the event raised almost $3,000 for the Webster Comfort Care Home and several other charities.

It was a day filled with laughter, great food, great company and friendship to raise money for a good cause. Thank you to Glendoveers for hosting, to the Women’s Club volunteers who worked so hard to coordinate and run the event, and to the 23 local business sponsors who donated goods for the luncheon and baskets.

Webster Thomas High School presents The Diary of Anne Frank

15 Nov

Most of us are familiar with the story of Anne Frank. She was the Jewish girl who kept a diary while hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam during World War II. Anne, her family, and four family friends hid in an 800-sq. ft. annex for more than two years, with help from employees and friends of Otto Frank, before the Nazis discovered them and sent them all to concentration camps. Her diary was turned into a book, Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, which for many of us was required reading in high school.

So when Webster Thomas High School brings The Diary of Anne Frank to the stage next weekend, you know it’s going to be a very moving performance. The set pieces, simple and unadorned, reflect the gravity of the subject. There are a few lighthearted spots, but there are no high-stepping dances or sweeping show tunes, and it’s not a happy ending.

But if you should decide to attend one of Webster Thomas’ three performances, director Mark Stoetzel wants you to remember one thing: “This is not a story about death. It is a story about life.”

In the program’s director’s notes, Stoetzel writes,

The people Anne describes in her diary … were much like any of us. They had jobs, and friends, and favorite songs. They laughed – often at themselves … And they fell in love. But they were not saints. They made mistakes. They annoyed each other. They said things they wished they could have taken back. They complained (a lot). They were, in other words, a lot like us.

So rather than wallow in sorrow, The Diary of Anne Frank asks us to celebrate the safe and happy lives that were denied to the Frank and Van Daan families and have another piece of spice cake. Most of all, it reminds us to celebrate those around us – those we love as well as those we just can’t stand.

Webster Thomas Theater’s production of The Diary of Anne Frank will take the stage on Thursday, Friday and Saturday Nov. 21, 22 and 23, at 7 p.m. each night at the school, 800 Five Mile Line Rd. Reserved seats are $10 each and advance tickets can be purchased online here.

Evelyn Fellows plays Anne and Matteo Serventi is her loving father, Otto Frank. Dominick Mangano, Rylie Biroscak, Jeremiah Fischer, Ella Vernacotola, Brook Hoffer, Mia Fellows, Abigail McNett and Robert LoFaso co-star, supported by 17 other back-stage and crew members.

What in the world is a puncheon?

14 Nov

That was the only question I had to ask when I attended the Friends of Webster Trails‘ (FWT) annual meeting earlier this week. And that was because during the hour-long meeting, I heard that word perhaps a dozen times.

The annual meeting is an opportunity for FWT board members and community members to come together and hear this year’s updates on the Friends’ financial standing, membership numbers and ongoing projects. It was held at Liberty Lodge at Finn Park, and was attended by perhaps 30 board members and trail volunteers, and more than a few FWT members from the greater Webster community.

I was one of those community members. As a long-time supporter of the Friends, I know how much time and effort this all-volunteer organization spends maintaining and expanding our town’s incredible trail system. But I wanted to learn in more detail about what’s been accomplished this year.

Short answer? A LOT.

It was an annual meeting, so of course there were discussions about how much money is in the savings account, how many new members joined since last November, how many people use the trails, and how the Friends’ ReTree Initiative is progressing. But when the discussion turned to reports from the trail stewards, I really sat up and took notice.

Because there are so many trails, it took about a half hour for all the trail stewards to present their summaries, mostly because an awful lot has been accomplished this year.

For starters, two brand new trail systems were added this year — Herman Rd. Forever Wild Forest and State Rd. Nature Preserve. That means that 32 trails and trail spurs now crisscross our town, measuring almost 30 miles of natural beauty.

Throughout the trail system, benches were built or replaced; countless loads of gravel were spread over wet areas; downed trees were cleared; boardwalks were built, fixed and replaced; trail signs were fixed and new signs installed; and new trails were blazed. The Friends also hosted several special events for children and families, including the very popular Hot Cocoa and Cars Along the Creek hikes, a Summer Reading Kickoff Party, guided hikes at Four Mile Creek and Gosnell Big Woods Preserve, and ten community workdays.

Oh yeah, they also built or replaced many puncheons. I learned that the word has a couple of definitions, but when it comes to trail maintenance, a puncheon is a road or walkway built with split logs or timbers. As you can imagine, they’re a vital tool in the trail builder’s arsenal.

It was a busy year, but a typical one for the all-volunteer Friends of Webster Trails, who work tirelessly all year to maintain our trails and build new ones. And even now they’re looking forward to next year and all the ways they can keep improving the trails. Their goals range from adding and updating trail markers to building more benches, platforms, bridges and kiosks, to even creating a wheelchair-accessible trail. And of course they’re always watching for opportunities to add brand new trails.

But they can’t do all these great things without community support, and there are several easy ways to do that. You can become a member for just $10 a year and get the monthly newsletter emailed to you, telling you about all the upcoming events. You can just go online to Webstertrails.org and make a direct donation. You can also make a donation in memory of a family member or friend.

If you love our trails and you love to hike, consider showing the Friends of Webster Trails how much you appreciate their efforts by becoming a member or making a donation.

Drury and DeWitte named Master Teachers

13 Nov
Melanie Drury
Peter DeWitte

Here’s a bit of nice news from the Webster Central School District.

Webster CSD teachers Melanie Drury and Peter DeWitte have been named New York State Master Teachers.

Drury and DeWitte are among 144 educators representing 83 school districts recently added to the statewide network. Drury has been teaching science for 12 years and is currently in her 10th year at Webster Thomas High School. DeWitte, a technology teacher at Webster Schroeder High School, has been teaching for 26 years, 24 of which have been in Webster. 

Master Teacher is a professional network of more than 1,700 public school teachers with a passion for inspiring the next generation of educational leaders. As Master Teachers, they will support students in grades K-12 in the areas of science, technology, computer science, robotics, coding, engineering, math and integrated STEM. They will also serve as mentors for students and early-career teachers. 

The Master Teacher Program is hosted at nine SUNY campuses to leverage the expertise of the University’s faculty and existing educator preparation programs, and SUNY counterparts collaborate regularly with local STEM career and industry experts. Drury and DeWitte attended SUNY Geneseo.

Throughout their four-year participation in the program, Drury and DeWitte will engage in peer mentoring and intensive content-oriented professional development opportunities throughout the academic year; work closely with pre-service and early career teachers to foster a supportive environment for the next generation of STEM teachers; and attend required regional meetings to participate in and lead professional development sessions each year.

November History Bit: What in the world is a penny-farthing?

11 Nov

In this month’s History Bit, we honor the big bicycle with the funny name: the penny-farthing. 

If you’ve ever visited the Webster Museum, chances are you’re already familiar with the penny-farthing. It’s that old-fashioned bicycle with the big front wheel and little back wheel that sits in a case just inside the museum’s front door.  

It’s such an iconic piece of Webster history that many years ago it was chosen as the logo for the Webster Museum, and more recently, as the name for the museum’s new members and friends newsletter. 

More about that later, but first, a little history.  

The penny-farthing, or high-wheel bicycle, was invented in 1871 by the British engineer James Starley. Its name comes from the large disparity in size between the front and rear wheels, which resembled the British penny and farthing coins. This was the first efficient bicycle, replacing the velocipede or “bone shaker,” a pedal-driven cycle with wooden or metal wheels that was uncomfortable due to the lack of shock absorption. What made the penny-farthing better was its large front wheel, which allowed for greater speed.

In 1976, the Neuert family donated a penny-farthing to the newly created Webster Through the Years Museum. It was built around 1877 and was purchased by Marion’s father-in-law, Jacob Neuert for $49.50 in the 1890s. Jacob passed the bicycle onto his son, Ray, who attempted to ride it in the Webster Centennial Parade in 1940. Unfortunately, a loose tire sent Ray “over the top,” resulting in several broken toes. More recently, the penny-farthing was ridden by descendants of the Neuert family in several Webster parades.

It’s been a long time since we’ve seen the penny-farthing ridden in one of our parades, but its memory is being honored again as the title of a brand new members and friends newsletter penned and designed by Webster Museum volunteers. 

The Penny-Farthing, introduced in October, is packed with historical photos and stories, event notices, and information about the museum. The next issue will be published this month, then every few months in the new year. If you’d like to be added to the distribution list, email WebsterMuseum@gmail.com. And if you’d like to see last month’s edition, click here.

Stop in and see the penny-farthing for yourself at the Webster Museum, 18 Lapham Park in the Village of Webster (and imagine trying to ride it!). The museum is open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 2 to 4:30 p.m.

Geva’s A Christmas Carol cast includes two Webster students

10 Nov

If you attend Geva Theatre’s annual production of A Christmas Carol this holiday season, you might just recognize one of the young cast members.

Two young Webster actors — Reid Antal, a 7th grade student at Willink Middle School, and Adriana Ruya Venable, a 5th grader at Plank Rd. South Elementary School, have been cast as young Tim Cratchit in Geva’s A Christmas Carol (since there are so many shows, all the children’s roles are double cast).

Reid Antal
Adriana Ruya Venable

You probably know the story, but here’s a summary from Geva’s press release:

Based on the classic by Charles Dickens, this adaptation begins with a wish made by young Tim Cratchit. Over the course of one night, notorious grump Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by four ghosts, but will their intervention prompt him to change his “humbug” ways? Filled with humor, heart, hope – and a little bit of horror – A Christmas Carol reminds us that it is never too late to have a change of heart. The production is directed by Geva’s Artistic Director Elizabeth Williamson.

Over the past four decades the company has presented three different adaptations and is thrilled to share this World Premiere from Harrison David Rivers, who wrote this adaptation in collaboration with Dramaturg Sally Lobel. This new production features period costumes by Costume Designer Ilona Somogyi, whose costumes Geva audiences will remember from Jane Eyre, a mixture of traditional carols, and a brand new set inspired by Victorian London by Scenic Designer Se Hyun Oh.

Geva’s A Christmas Carol will be presented from Nov. 23 through Dec. 29 on the Wilson Stage, 75 Woodbury Blvd., Rochester. Tickets can be purchased online here, by calling 585-232-GEVA (4382), or by stopping by the box office in person.

Geva will also present a free performance of A Christmas Carol, called “Home for the Holidays.” on December 26 at 7 p.m. Blue Star Families, who are active-duty servicemen and women, veterans, and their families.

Congratulations to Reid and Adriana. You make Webster proud.

Webster community mailbag

8 Nov

Chris Perfetti has made it

If you’re a fan of Abbott Elementary, then this first mailbag item will interest you.

One of the best characters on that show is Jacob Hill, played by Chris Perfetti. What you may not know is that Chris is a 2011 Webster Schroeder grad. You may have seen him in Schroeder’s annual musicals (my favorite was when he was the Cat in the Hat for Seussical). He’s had many roles in TV and film since graduating, but his work on Abbott Elementary has become his breakout role, and has won him a Screen Actors Guild Award.

Several weeks ago, Chris was featured in the New York Times, in their “What actors do on Sundays” column. My husband, a regular NYT reader, shared the link with me, and the link should work for everyone, NYT subscribers or not.

Click here to see the article. (Photo above courtesy the New York Times).

The Diary of Anne Frank Coming to Thomas Stage

Webster Thomas High School will present the moving drama The Diary of Anne Frank later this month.

The play is based on Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, the true story of Anne Frank, a Jewish girl who kept a diary while hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam during World War II.

I’ll be writing more about the production soon, but I wanted to give you all a heads-up because tickets are on sale now.

Show times are Thursday, Friday and Saturday Nov. 21 to 23 at 7 p.m. each evening, at Webster Thomas High School, 800 Five Mile Line Rd. Seating is reserved. Tickets are $10 each and can be purchased online in advance here. Tickets are digital and can be printed at home.

More to come.

Festival of Trees

I’ll have a more detailed blog or three about the Village of Webster’s annual Winter Wonderland festivities. But I always like to give a social shout-out to the Webster Museum and their annual Festival of Trees, which they host during the event.

The Festival of Trees will be held on Saturday, December 7 during Winter Wonderland. Museum visitors will be invited to vote for their favorite decorated mini-Christmas tree among 17 beautiful and creative entries which have been set up throughout the museum. (Online voting will also be available at webstermuseum.org.)

The museum will be open from 2 to 6 p.m. with live music beginning at 4 p.m.

Also this year, the museum invites everyone to help decorate their “Museum Memory Tree” by hanging an ornament with the name of a loved one or pet whom you’ve lost. The museum is also resurrecting its popular holiday raffle (so bring some cash), and will be offering the also very popular Kittelberger Florist “bouquet a month for a year” coupon booklet.

It all happens Saturday, Dec. 7 during the Village of Webster’s Winter Wonderland.

New hats and old books

Mark your calendar for Breakfast with Santa

The Webster Lions Club’s Annual Pancake Breakfast with Santa has been scheduled for Sunday Dec. 8 (note the new date; it’s been scheduled for the first Sunday in December for years).

It will be held at Webster Schroeder High School from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. Santa and his elf will be there for the children, as well as the Lion Club’s Lion. Plus, there’ll be lots of great raffle items and free vision screening for kids ages 6 months to 12 years. And of course, breakfast: pancakes, sausage, scrambled eggs, juice and coffee.

The Pancake Breakfast with Santa Fundraiser is one of the ways the Lion’s Club earns money to help those in need. This year, donations will be made to the Webster Community Chest, Webster Hope and other charities.

Rec Center 55+ Monthly Newsletter

I recently got emailed my copy of the Webster Recreation Center’s 55+ newsletter, which is always packed with great programs for all of us taking full advantage of our active later years.

Annette’s Restaurant to open this weekend

7 Nov

I’ve been hearing from some friends that they’ve seen people inside the new Annette’s Restaurant and are wondering if it’s open yet.

Well, sorry, I found out that it isn’t officially open QUITE yet. They’re inviting some friends and family members in on Friday night to give their staff some practice and iron out some kinks. But the restaurant won’t be open for everyone else until this Saturday, Nov. 9.

Owner Nan Kent told me that beginning Saturday, Annette’s will be open for lunch and dinner. You can check out the menu here, but Nan was particularly excited to tell me about a few of the desserts, an apple/pear tart and a flourless chocolate cake. The rest of the menu looks pretty delicious, too.

I don’t need to tell you more about Annette’s here; just stop on in and check it out for yourself. The restaurant’s hours will be Tuesday through Thursday 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday 11 to 9:30, and closed Sunday and Monday. They’re already taking reservations (call 585-645-6002).

Annette’s is located at 27 West Main St. in Webster (the former Mozzeroni’s). Visit the website here for more information.

Young local dancers join the Nutcracker ensemble this weekend

6 Nov

A holiday classic is returning to the Auditorium Theatre this weekend, and once again some of our very talented local kids will be taking part.

About 45 boys and girls ages 5 to 18 from Webster’s Dancing With Denise studio will be performing alongside the full international professional Nutcracker! Magical Christmas Ballet troupe this year, filling the roles of little snowflakes, mice, party children, snow sprites, snow maidens, and variations. It’s a rare opportunity for these kids to audition, rehearse and perform with a professional, international touring ballet company.

The Nutcracker is truly a magical show, from the bright Christmas-Eve-celebration colors, costumes and staging in the first act, to the sparkling wintry scenes in Act II, all wrapped in the beautiful music we all know so well. The addition of adorable local children makes it even more enchanting.

Aside from the children, The Nutcracker features an award-winning ensemble from Ukraine, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Turkey, and more. It’s marking its 32nd tour this holiday season, with stops in more than 50 cities across the country. As part of their “Dance With Us” program, the company partners with local dance studios like Dancing with Denise to cast young talent to perform onstage alongside the professional artists. This is the 16th year Dancing with Denise has had the privilege of being chosen to host this magical event. 

Nutcracker! Magical Christmas Ballet will take the stage on Saturday Nov. 9 at 3 p.m. at The West Herr Auditorium Theatre. Word is the show is almost sold out, so get your tickets soon. Click here to order online.

* * *

Preparing for the Nutcracker isn’t the only thing keeping these young dancers busy.

The Dancing with Denise Nutcracker families organized their first-ever Making Spirits Soar Project this year, creating performance care packages for each of the professional dancers.

Thanks to tremendous support from all the DWD families, enough funds were raised to purchase, create, and decorate care packages for all 40 of the Nutcracker cast members. The idea is to provide the international dancers with food and treats to give them energy and protein while they’re on tour.

The Dancing With Denise students will present the care packages to the dancers during their stage rehearsal on the day of the show. (A few photos from the packing day are below.)

The Dancing With Denise studio is located at 1077 Gravel Rd. in West Webster.
