<div>CONTACT: Oaks Corners Fire Department</div>
<div>Assistant Chief Brian Maney</div>
<div>315-719-2510</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>OAKS CORNERS FIRE DEPARTMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN STATEWIDE&nbsp;</div>
<div>&ldquo;RECRUITNY&rdquo; OPEN HOUSE WEEKEND APRIL 13</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Phelps, NY &mdash; As part of the annual RecruitNY statewide initiative, the Oaks Corners Fire Department will open its doors so residents can learn how they can serve their volunteer fire department.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Volunteer fire departments across New York state have been faced with decreased membership and increased call volume. Like most volunteer fire departments, the Oaks Corners Fire Department needs to bolster its ranks so it can continue to provide the optimum level of protection for its residents.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>As part of RecruitNY Weekend, the Oaks Corners Fire Department will open its doors on Saturday, April 13 from 10am until 3pm. The department is located at 607 Cross Road in the town of Phelps. It will join hundreds of volunteer fire departments across New York to raise public awareness regarding the need for volunteers and to highlight the rewards of being a member of a volunteer fire department.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Throughout the day, the Oaks Corners Fire Department will conduct tours of the station and apparatus, allow visitors to try on gear, demonstrate firefighting activities, provide information, and address questions on becoming a member. These activities give visitors a taste of what it means to be in the fire service. Volunteer firefighters will also be on hand to discuss the requirements and rewards of joining. All are welcome and encouraged to attend, including families with children.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&ldquo;We welcome the community to join us during RecruitNY Weekend,&rdquo; said Chief Zachery Rey &ldquo;This is an excellent opportunity for people to meet their local volunteer firefighters and learn more about the fire service. We are always looking for new members, and it is our hope that after meeting us, more people will be interested in becoming part of our family.&rdquo;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The Firefighters Association of the State of New York (FASNY) is committed to assisting New York&rsquo;s 1,700-plus volunteer departments connect with their communities and have sufficient members to protect them properly. Established in 2011, RecruitNY is an undertaking of FASNY. It is made possible by the continuing support and generosity of Lincoln Financial Group (LFG). In 2012, LFG announced the introduction of a new National Length of Service Award Program (LOSAP) HEROPLUSSM Program. A first of its kind, LOSAP was designed for individual fire and emergency services departments to help recruit, retain, and reward dedicated volunteers with a program that will help boost their retirement readiness.&nbsp;</div>

Free Childbirth Class at F.F. Thompson Hospital

<h3>A one hour virtual workshop to answer&nbsp;your questions! Thursday, May 16 6:30-7:30pm</h3>
Elizabeth Wende Breast Care will facilitate a discussion via Zoom and answer questions about breast health,&nbsp; including the importance of knowing your family history, who should consider genetic testing, current&nbsp; mammography guidelines, and what age to begin mammography screening.
Three out of four women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history of the disease and are not considered high risk. &nbsp;Mammography has helped reduce breast cancer mortality in the U.S. by nearly 40% since 1990. &nbsp;1 in 6 breast cancers occur in women aged 40-49. &nbsp;Even for women over 50, skipping&nbsp; a mammogram every other year would miss up to 30% of cancers.

</ul>
In towns with a total population less than 20,000, you may burn tree limbs with attached leaves. The limbs must be less than 6 inches in diameter and 8 feet in length (also referred to as brush).&nbsp;However, this is not allowed from March 16 through May 14 due to the increased risk of wildfires. Burning loose leaves or leaf piles is illegal.
The practice of burning large piles of brush collected from local residents at town or county transfer sites is prohibited. The individual landowners in small towns may burn their brush on-site, as discussed above. Downed limbs and branches generated at a transfer site are also allowed to be burned on-site with the same restrictions. See&nbsp;<a href="https://govt.westlaw.com/nycrr/Document/I4e8f29f9cd1711dda432a117e6e0f345?viewType=FullText&amp;originationContext=documenttoc&amp;transitionType=CategoryPageItem&amp;contextData=(sc.Default)">Section 215.3</a>&nbsp;for a full list of exceptions.
Please note:&nbsp;While most firewood must be untreated, some firewood is heat treated (kiln dried) to control invasive insect species if it is to be transported over 50 miles. Heat treated firewood is not intended to be prohibited. However, the burning of chemically treated wood, such as pressure-treated lumber and plywood, is prohibited.

Once every customer is restored, the company will continue to fix remaining damage that occurred but did not affect customers or the reliability of service. That will then be followed by a full system sweep of all affected circuits to look for damage or issues that may have been missed but that could cause service disruptions in the future, such as tree limbs on power lines or leaning trees.

NYSEG will continue to provide updates throughout the event to the general public on the company&rsquo;s social media channels (Facebook and Twitter). The company also offers customers the following reminders to stay safe if power outages do occur.

Outage Information:
&bull; Sign up for Outage Alerts to receive updates automatically by phone, text, or email as the company updates the status of the restoration process in their area. Customers can sign up for outage alerts by visiting here for NYSEG.
&bull; Customer can use the NYSEG mobile app to report and check the status of outages. To download the application, customers should search &ldquo;AVANGRID&rdquo; in the Apple or Android app stores and select &ldquo;NYSEG.&rdquo; The application is free to download. Stay away from downed wires: &bull; Stay at least 30 feet from a downed power line.
&bull; If a downed wire comes in contact with your vehicle, stay inside and wait for help. If you must get out because of fire or other danger, jump clear of the vehicle to avoid any contact with the vehicle and the ground at the same time. Land with your feet together and hop with feet together or shuffle away; don&rsquo;t run or stride.

&nbsp;
During a power interruption:
&bull; Contact neighbors to see if their power is off. A loss of power may be the result of a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker.
&bull; To report a power interruption, contact NYSEG at 1.800.572.1131.
&bull; Keep refrigerators and freezers closed as much as possible. Most food will last 24 hours if you minimize the opening of refrigerator and freezer doors. Power restoration priorities: The Company&rsquo;s first priorities are to respond to reports of downed power lines to keep the public safe. NYSEG customers are asked to call 1.800.572.1131 to report downed wires.
&nbsp;
Once vital public safety work is complete, the company will:
&bull; Assess the damage to the electricity delivery system.
&bull; Develop a detailed restoration plan.
&bull; Make repairs as quickly as possible.

<h2 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;">Ontario County elections board warns of voter registration scam&nbsp;</h2>
By DAVID L. SHAW dshaw@fltimes.com Aug 31, 2023
CANANDAIGUA &mdash; Ontario County voters are being warned about a scam in which a person shows up at their door impersonating a Board of Elections staff member and asks questions about their voter registration &mdash; and may accuse them of committing crimes because their names allegedly appear in the statewide voter database more than once. In a statement released Tuesday by Elections Commissioners Albert Magnan and Mike Northrup, the Ontario County sheriff&rsquo;s office is aware of the potential for this activity. The commissioners said county voters should be aware that Board of Elections staffers do not engage in door-to-door investigations on voter registration. &nbsp;&ldquo;Any representation by a person or persons at your door claiming to be Board of Elections staff is false,&rdquo; the commissioners said. Magnan and Northrup said as the 2023 election campaign season approaches, voters may encounter people affiliated with political organizations, voting, or other issue specific groups seeking to provide them information or advocate on behalf of candidates or causes. They urged voters who encounter persons at their home who say they are members of the county Board of Elections staff to call 585-396-4005 or email <a href="mailto:boe@ontariocountyny.gov" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boe@ontariocountyny.gov</a>.

Ontario County Hazard Mitigation Plan Update

**SPECIAL ATTENTION: The bridge spanning the NYS Thruway on Marbletown Road is being prepped for paving and is currently reduced to one lane traffic. The weather and availability of the paving company will be a factor for the completion of this project and possible bridge closures may occur. Phelps Town Supervisor Norm Teed is in communication with the NYS Thruway Authority and will provide updates as they become available.

<div id="project-description" class="">
Project Purpose
The project will determine the feasibility and any benefit to eliminating the existing grade-separated intersection of NYS Route 96 and NYS Route 14 (Rt. 96 and Rt. 14) in the Town of Phelps. The condition of the deck/ superstructure of the bridge have deteriorated to the point where attention is needed. This analysis will compare the life-cycle cost of fixing the existing infrastructure as it's currently constructed&nbsp;versus the life-cycle cost of an at-grade intersection.
This is the first round of public engagement. The goal is&nbsp;to introduce the project to the community and obtain input on the issues of existing conditions and needs, inventory findings, opportunities for both the travel needs and the future&nbsp;land use, and to seek local knowledge.&nbsp;
Come see us at the Phelps&nbsp;Sauerkraut Festival on Thursday, August 3rd.&nbsp; Talk with the project team at headquarters at&nbsp;the pavilion&nbsp;from 4 to 7 p.m.&nbsp; For questions about this project please contact Jody Binnix, GTC Program Manager at&nbsp;<a href="mailto:jbinnix@gtcmpo.org">jbinnix@gtcmpo.org</a>&nbsp;or by phone (585) 232-6420. <a href="https://publicinput.com/u0125" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://publicinput.com/u0125</a>

Our portion of the award announcement reads as follows: Town of Phelps (Ontario County): The Town of Phelps will receive $50,000 for roof repairs and upgrades to the Phelps Town Hall, which was constructed ca. 1849 and is listed on the State/National Registers of Historic Places.
