Webster community mailbag

26 May

I’m starting off today’s mailbag with a Webster resident whose name is in the news. (Or at least in the press release I received from Centenary University.)

Equestrian Benjamin Hoban of Webster helped his Centenary University team take top honors at the 44th annual ANRC National Equitation Championships recently held in Aiken, SC. The team, which also included Caroline Mancini of Bradford, RI and Morgan Munz of Califon, NJ, won the title of National Collegiate Reserve Championship Team and the National Collegiate Individual Reserve Championship.

The competition for collegiate, junior, and adult amateur teams, sponsored by the American National Riding Commission, is judged and scored on equitation skills and sound horsemanship practices.

Centenary University’s main campus is in Hackettstown, NJ, with its equestrian facility in Washington Township.

From the Library

The Friends of the Webster Public Library have an exciting new offering for anyone who loves books. It’s their very first Vintage and Collectible Book Sale on Saturday June 3 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The event will offer more than 140 books in good or better condition at very attractive, fixed prices. There are lots of first editions or first printings, published anytime from the late 19th century to the previous decade of the 21st century. Books from authors in the Library of America series and from the NY Times Best Seller list will be displayed. You’ll find books about Rochester and upstate New York; a good-sized assortment of books about war and its weapons; a few Tolkien items; some juvenile fiction ranging from the Bobbsey Twins to Harry Potter; many, many books about music, art, popular culture, animals, health, business, history, biographies and more.

The sale will be held in the library’s Community Room, 980 Ridge Rd.

Also happening at the Webster Public Library is what should be a very interesting talk about the upcoming solar eclipse.

On Thursday June 1 from 6 to 8 p.m., Dan Schneiderman, the Eclipse Partnership Coordinator at the RSMC, will discuss the science and history of solar eclipses, and how to prepare for the total solar eclipse which we will experience her in Rochester on April 8, 2024.

This is going to be a very popular event, so registration is required. Click here to do so.

Time to clean out your garage

If you’re like me, you have a huge garbage bag or two of returnables hanging out in your garage, awaiting your motivation to take them back to the store. Well, the Webster Marching Band will be happy to take them off your hands.

The band’s next Bottle and Can Drive happens this Saturday June 3 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. All you have to do is place those bags outside your house or at the end of the driveway, with a little note indicating they’re for the band, and they’ll be whisked away for a good cause.

Or, if you plan to be out and about on Saturday, you can drop them off at the collection site, Webster Schroeder High School, 875 Ridge Road, by 4 p.m.

OR, you can call the Bottle and Can Hotline (234-8684, option 1) ANYTIME to arrange a pickup at a time convenient for you.

The Market is Back!

Webster Joe Obbie’s Farmers’ Market returns for the summer on Saturday June 10, at Webster Towne Plaza, in front of Old Navy. It’ll be there every Saturday through the fall from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., with fresh fruits, vegetables, specialty food items, flowers, plants, crafts and more.

Can’t make it on Saturday? Beginning Wednesday July 19, the market will also be set up at Charles Sexton Park (formerly North Ponds) from 4 to 8 p.m. every Wednesday.

I’ll post a more detailed blog soon about the market, but make a note on your calendar now.

Celebrate Summer

The Webster Recreation Center‘s annual Summer Celebration takes place Saturday June 10 from 4 to 10 p.m.

There’s live music, family fun, food trucks, and fireworks to end the evening. There’s no admission charge, so come on down for some great family time.

The Webster Recreation Center is located at 1350 Chiyoda Drive, and there’s plenty of parking.

Caring Community Concert series returns

Here’s another reminder that the United Church of Christ’s Caring Community Concert series is returning this summer, beginning July 12.

These concerts benefit local nonprofit organizations through free-will donations. The first one will feature Allegro, and proceeds will benefit the Webster Hope Food Pantry. The rest of the summer features:

  • July 19: Ruby Shooz
  • July 26: Prime Time Brass
  • Aug. 2: Dady and Ryan
  • Aug. 9: 8 Days a Week

There’s no admission charge, but each week the church collects a free-will offering benefiting that week’s chosen non-profit organization.

The UCC has been sponsoring these concerts for almost 20 years now, and through free-will offerings have raised tons of money for local non-profit organizations. People are invited to bring lawn chairs or blankets and a picnic if they wish. There’s also a concession stand selling soda, hot dogs, hamburgers, pulled pork, and a weekly “special.”

The concerts all begin at 6:30 p.m., and food concessions begin at 6. The concerts are held on the United Church of Christ front lawn, at 570 Klem Rd. (In case of rain it’s moved indoors.) So put these concerts on your calendar now and plan to enjoy some great music for a good cause.

VOA celebrates mothers in a special way

28 Apr

It’s unusual these days for me to receive a notice about an event I’ve never heard about. But here’s one that’s been going on for 30 years, honoring some of the most important people in our lives: our mothers.

Every year for the past three decades, the Volunteers of America (VOA) have brightened Mother’s Day weekend for senior women throughout the Rochester area. It’s their “I Remember Mama Celebration,” during which they deliver hundreds of gift baskets, filled with flowers, corsages, treats and gifts, to women who have outlived their families or are separated from them.

What a great way to help ease the loneliness these women feel on Mother’s Day.

Volunteers of America works with assisted living communities and senior centers to identify elderly women who are alone. As part of the celebration this year, VOA will be delivering 50 gift baskets to residents of Cobblestone Place in Webster. Other baskets will be delivered to the Catholic Family Center, Family Services of Rochester, Montgomery Neighborhood Center, Jonathan Childs Apartments, Darnforth Towers and Jordan Health. Deliveries begin May 11 and will lead up to Mother’s Day.

VOA is asking community members for their support. With a donation of $45, individuals can sponsor a senior woman, $90 will sponsor two women, or $450 will sponsor ten ladies. Click here to learn how to support the event. Community support is a key component of making this event a success each year. 

Here are a few photos from previous deliveries:

About Volunteers of America Upstate New York: Volunteers of America Upstate New York (VOA) is a local non-profit human service organization that serves more than 6,000 men, women and children annually in Rochester and throughout Upstate New York.  The agency’s mission is to empower people to rise out of poverty, move toward self-reliance, and reach their full potential. VOA offers a wide array of programming in four key areas; early childhood education; supportive housing for homeless and low-income individuals and families, and reentry programs for individuals who are or have been incarcerated, and housing for frail seniors.

Remembering Webster’s own who lost their lives in Vietnam

29 Mar

I was reminded by a friend recently that today, March 29, 2023, marks the 50th anniversary of the day the remaining US combat forces left South Vietnam. It’s a fitting opportunity to remember the five Webster boys who lost their lives during that war.

  • Leonard Coles, a Webster Thomas graduate, was killed in a fragging incident on May 16, 1969, when a disgruntled American soldier threw a grenade into the facility where he was working as a typist. He’s buried at Webster Rural Cemetery.
  • Rex Daniels, a 1968 Webster Thomas grad, lived on the far eastern end of Plank Rd. He was killed on April 16, 1971 in Thừa Thiên-Huế, Vietnam. He’s buried in White Haven Memorial Park in Pittsford. On Memorial Day, 2021, an American flag was flown in honor of Rex at the Webster Rural Cemetery ceremony. The flag came to Webster after being flown over Capitol Hill on April 16, 2021, exactly 50 years to the day Daniels lost his life.
  • Don Holleder was the first from Webster who was killed. He served as Operations Officer for the 28th Infantry Regiment, the Black Lions. On October 17, 1967, he was killed by a sniper as he ran to the rescue of several soldiers trapped during the Battle of Ong Thanh, an act for which he was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. He’s buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
  • Peter Kaulback was a Marine. He lived on Fuller Ave., not far from what is now Spry Middle School, but when he graduated in 1962 was Webster High School. was then Webster High School, now Spry Middle School. He was killed on May 31, 1968, during heavy fighting in the Quang Tri Province. He’s buried at Webster Rural Cemetery.
  • David Semmler lived on Hatch Rd. near Holy Spirit Church. He served as an Army infantryman, and was patrolling the perimeter of a firing range on Feb. 5, 1971 when a booby-trap detonated and he was fatally injured. He was posthumously promoted to corporal. He’s buried at White Haven Memorial Park.

When Webster’s Wreaths Across America effort is able to expand into Webster Rural Cemetery, I look forward to the chance to place wreaths on the graves of the two young heroes who are buried there.

28 Mar

Just a quick reminder today about a special event being hosted jointly by the Webster Museum and Webster Public Library this Thursday afternoon.

In honor of National Women’s History Month, the Museum and the Library have created an interesting program where you can meet several well-known Webster women, past and present.

At the program, scheduled for Thursday March 30 at 3 p.m. at the Webster Public Library, you’ll meet:

  • Victoria Woodhull, a leader in the women’s suffrage movement, stockbroker, and the first woman to ever run for president;

  • and me, Missy Rosenberry

Each character will speak for about 5 to 6 minutes, describing a little about their lives and accomplishments. As for me, I’ll be telling you more about how I came to create the Webster on the Web blog and how it has become part of the fabric of the Webster community.

The program is free, but registration is required. So click here to sign up and please join us for what should be a very interesting presentation.

How a simple game of catch can bring people together

26 Mar

In today’s fast-paced, put-your-head-down-and-keep-plowing-forward world, we often forget to take the time to slow down and really connect with friends and family, or any of the people around us. One Webster man has found an unusual, surprisingly simple, and very effective, way to do that.

Several weeks ago, on the first day of March, Webster resident Dave Tinnes embarked on a personal challenge: for the following 30 days, he would endeavor to play a game of catch with … somebody. It didn’t matter who, he would just do it at least once a day, for 30 straight days.

Naturally, when you first hear about the idea, you’d immediately think its purpose would be to just have fun, get a little exercise, maybe enjoy the outdoors a bit. Those are all great goals, but Dave had a much more important one in mind: to forge connections with as many people as possible.

Not only has he achieved that goal, he didn’t realize just how incredibly life-changing the challenge would be.

Dave Tinnes’ 30-day catch story begins in 2017 when he was asked to help chaperone a school trip to a Mets game for Wayne Central High School, where he’s a special education teacher. Not being a baseball fan himself (“I thought it was a boring sport,” he remembers), he was happy to go along for the ride but didn’t expect to get much out of the experience.

Surrounded by students and colleagues who helped him learn the nuances of the game and understand the deep significance baseball has had in their lives, Dave Tinnes fell in love with the sport that night, and a brand new Mets fan was born.

Sometime the following year, Dave came across an online article headlined, “Man commits to playing catch for a year.” It was written about Ethan Bryan, who had begun a personal challenge to play catch with someone every day for 365 days. Through a daily blog and eventually a book, Bryan chronicled the life-changing experience he had, forging personal connections with more than 500 people across ten states.

Through their shared love of baseball, Dave and Bryan became good friends. Then, earlier this year, Bryan told him about a new program he was introducing, called “30-Day Catch,” in which he was encouraging people to embark on their own 30-day challenge.

Dave immediately signed up and began his 30 days on March 1. His very first game of catch was with his son, followed that week by some students, a professional colleague and an old friend.

From day one, he started finding those personal connections he was looking for. Underscored by the calming soundtrack of a ball hitting mitts, conversations ranged all over the map: childhood stories, memories of parents now gone, the shared love of sports. There was a lot of laughing, a lot of listening, a lot of healing.

Each catch can last anywhere from a few minutes to more than an hour. But each one is unique and significant, each one a different story to be told.

Dave realized that only two days into the challenge, when he wrote on his Facebook page, “Each catch session is very different from one another, even though the action, motion, etc. is so repetitious/similar while playing catch. It’s the people, their unique personalities, etc., that make each catch a delight to my soul.”

When I sat down to interview Dave for this blog, he was 18 days into his journey. He’d already played more than two dozen games of catch with all kinds of partners: his children, his friends, his students, perfect strangers, young kids and senior citizens. He’d played catch indoors and outdoors, in gymnasiums, parks, muddy fields, a loading dock, city streets, and along the wintry lakeshore. He even played catch in Cooperstown with the president of the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

But one game of catch really stands out, and epitomizes what the 30-day challenge is about. That was the day, 12 days into the 30-day challenge, that Dave played “catch” with his wife’s 101-year old grandmother.

“Grandma” had never worn a baseball mitt, so Dave first helped her slide her small hand into his daughter’s mitt.

I pulled my chair right up to hers and sat there with my glove on. I told her all about the challenge, showed her my “30 days” baseball and all the pictures of my catch partners so far in this challenge journey, and discussed baseball in general. I told her about my family’s journeys in visiting four MLB ballparks last season, and how we hope to hit all 30. …She asked me questions about why I love baseball so much, how far do you stand from each other while playing catch, if it’s 1:1, or if more people can join in, and more…

When it came time to do the catch she took the ball and put it in my mitt. I took the ball and put it in her mitt. We did that six or seven times.

And that was their game of catch.

Dave has known Grandma for 23 years, and has connected with her about many heartfelt things. But, he said, “the catch with her gave me the chance to share something I’m passionate about, beyond my faith and family.”

The lesson here is pretty simple. We “know” so many people in our lives, some for many, many years, others more recently met. But if you think about it, with most of these people, we’ve never really taken the time to listen to their stories and really learn more about them. Perhaps we just need an excuse to take that time, even if that excuse is to spend 20 minutes throwing a ball back and forth.

Dave’s first 30 days are almost over. During these last few weeks, he’s had so many people ask to play catch with him that he’s often played two or three times a day. He even travels with a bag stuffed with various baseball mitts (including a child’s size and left-handed one) and a few balls, just in in case he meets someone — even a stranger — in his daily travels who’d like to play.

When I talked with him, he already had more than 50 people signed up for future games. So he’s definitely going to be playing catch for more than 30 days.

You’re welcome to join him as well. On the first day of March, the first day of his challenge, Dave Tinnes posted on his Facebook page:

“Today is day 1 of my 30 days catch journey. If you’re interested in playing catch, let me know. You don’t need to love baseball, be a good athlete, etc. This journey is all about connecting, sharing time together talking, listening and growing relationships. I’d love to connect with you…”

That invitation is still open. If you’d like to schedule a time to play catch with Dave, drop him an email at Tbonedmt@yahoo.com.

And in case you’re wondering, of course we played catch after the interview, right outside the Webster Public Library.

Paying it forward … with cookies

20 Mar

Here’s a short story about kindness to brighten your day.

It comes to us from our local Troop 60344 Girl Scouts, who a week or so ago had set up a table outside Lowe’s on Five Mile Line Rd. to sell cookies. One of their customers was Cameron Scalzo, the owner of the brand new Nautical Bowls restaurant in Target Plaza. He talked very excitedly about his new place and the fact that he and his wife were expecting their first child at any time. His wife would be very excited, he said, if he brought some cookies home, and chose six boxes from the table.

Another woman happened to be at the table as Cameron was chatting with the Scouts. She overheard Cameron talking excitedly about his new baby and new restaurant, and offered to buy all six boxes of his cookies for him. He tried to decline, but she insisted. She explained that she had misplaced her wallet in the Lowe’s parking lot earlier in the day and was incredibly relieved to find it just under her car. She couldn’t believe no one had taken it, and wanted to pay it forward.

What a wonderful expression of kindness for those young Scouts to witness.

Webster resident celebrates 100th birthday

14 Mar

A very special celebration was held last Saturday when St. Stanislaus Kostka Church in Rochester held a grand 100th birthday party for two of their parishioners, Sister Mary Dismas and Webster resident Ludwika Kardela.  

Ludwika was born on March 8, 1923 and raised in Poland where she married and began her family near the city of Nysa in southern Poland. She and her family emigrated to the United States in 1963 and settled in Rochester. Ludwika has volunteered and cooked for events at the St. Teresa’s and St. Stanislaus Kostka parishes, and has been a fixture at parish events for decades. If you’ve ever been to the St. Stanislaus Polish Festival, you’ve enjoyed her delicious pierogies and cabbage rolls, and definitely got one of her wonderful smiles. Ludwika still cooks for some events to this day. Family from all over the country and Poland came to town to help celebrate her milestone birthday.

Sister Dismas was born on March 11, 1923 and in 2021 marked 80 years of service with the Sisters of Mercy. Sister Dismas spent her school years at St. John the Evangelist and Our Lady of Mercy, where she graduated in 1941. The influence of the Sisters of Mercy led her to enter the order and led her to becoming a teacher for 41 years. Sister Dismas also volunteered with a number of organizations throughout her years and she still resides at the St. Stanislaus convent. 

Along with celebrating Sister Dismas and Ludwika’s birthdays, the parish also celebrated the birthday of Father Roman Caly with a buffet lunch gathering for friends, family and fellow parishioners. 

Many thanks to Ursula Zamora for this great report and photos.

Buy Girl Scout cookies, support our deployed troops

10 Mar

If you’re a big fan of Girl Scout cookies like I am, you know that the cookies have arrived and the troops are hard at work delivering them. But if you missed out on ordering this year, or you REALLY need more Thin Mints to toss in the freezer, have no fear. I know of at least one troop which will be selling them at local businesses in the coming weeks.

Webster Girl Scout Troop 60344 will have a table set up this Sunday March 12 at Lowe’s Webster from 1 to 4 p.m., and on Saturday March 25 and April 1 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Walmart Home entrance. They’ll not only be selling cookies to all of us, they’ll also be taking orders for cookies which will be included in care packages being put together by the Blue Star Mothers for our locally deployed troops.

So, not only can you get your own personal cookie fix, you can also help send a little taste of home to our troops.

By the way, this particular Girl Scout troop is the one I wrote about a few weeks ago when one of its members, Julia Meyers, lost her cookie money envelope in the high winds we had in early February. A very kind neighbor found it and most of the missing cash, and it was all returned to Julia. I posted the whole touching story in this blog.

I know for a fact that Julia herself will be at the March 12 cookie-selling table, so if you’d like to meet her in person, this is a great chance to do so!

Young Webster hero honored with Do the Right Thing Award

5 Mar

Small people can do some really pretty big things.

Case in point: Skylar Jones, a fourth-grader at Webster’s Plank Rd. North Elementary School, who last Thursday morning was presented a Do the Right Thing Award from the Rochester Police Department.

As described in the program from the ceremony,

Skylar was nominated by his grandmother, Judy Nolan, for his calm and brave actions during a family medical emergency that occurred last October. When Skylar got home from school that day, he saw that his grandfather wasn’t feeling well and called his grandmother at work to tell her. After Mrs. Nolan spoke with her husband and realized how sick he sounded, she left work immediately to come home. While enroute, Skyler tried calling his grandmother several times to tell her that Papa fell. When he was unable to reach his grandmother, he called his mother and told her what had happened. One of the women contacted 911, and both were headed to the house. Skylar handled multiple phone calls between the two, and was told that the ambulance was coming. During their conversations, he kept both family members informed of how Papa was doing, assuring them that was conscious and breathing, and encouraging him to talk. He secured the dog, and went to meet the ambulance when it arrived and guided the first responders into the home.

Skylar handled a chaotic emergency at nine years old better than some adults would have. He stayed calm and kept his grandmother and mother informed until medical help arrived. When asked afterward what he would have done if he had been unable to contact either of them, he confidently said that he would have called 911 himself.

Among the half dozen or so relatives and friends who were on hand to watch Skylar receive his award were his grandparents, of course, and Sarah Mossey, one of the EMTs who responded to the house that day, who also happens to be Skylar’s music teacher at Plank North.

Skylar was one of eight students presented with the award at Thursday morning’s ceremony at the City Public Safety Building. They ranged from a Greece Central School District kindergartner who’s doing great things for his community, to a junior at Churchville-Chili High School who called 911 when his two-year old sister was having a seizure. Their individual stories are all very different and all very inspiring.

The Do the Right Thing Program was created in 1990 by the Miami Police Department. Rochester joined the program in 1996, one of 60 chapters in the United States, England and Germany. Its purpose is to foster positive relationships between law enforcement and our community youth by recognizing young people for helping officers and other first responders, performing acts of heroism, displaying leadership, role model behavior, and volunteering in their community. The award distinguishes students who strive to make good choices, do well in school, give back to their communities, or demonstrate a “turn-around” or improved behavior. Any student enrolled in K-12 in Monroe County is eligible, including those home-schooled.

Each award winner receives a trophy, a prize package, a trip to Seabreeze Amusement Park, an invitation to the Camp Good Days Leadership Camp, and the opportunity to apply for a college scholarship when they become high school seniors.

For more information, visit the Do the Right Thing website here and Facebook page here.
