Lyell-Otis Residents Encourage People to Vote in Primary Election
By: Sheba Clarke


Several candidates in the Northwest district of the city heard concerns of residents loud and clear.

“We need to hear them at our meetings when we have our concerns,” said Frank Louk, Rochester.

Voters are getting last minute answers before heading to the polls Tuesday.

“You have a lot of candidates running. You have a lot of different ones,” said Michael Visconte, President of the Lyell-Otis Neighborhood Association.

Two city council candidates showed up to the LONA meeting Monday night.

“We invited the candidates so everybody can hear a little bit about what they stand for,” said Visconte.

Also, there were three of the eight school board candidates on the ballot who attended. It’s a race that has four open seats.

“There are some interesting choices for the school board and there are a lot of them and that’s good,” said James Muscatella, Rochester.

This leaves a big decision for voters, but many like Muscatella know exactly what they want in a candidate.

“A school board member that has the willingness to work with the community and some new ideas,” Muscatella.

“The school board, I would like them to be realistic,” said Louk.

Concerned residents in this community are urging people to get out and vote in this primary.

“Whoever wins the primary usually wins the election,” said Muscatella.

“So this is the best time to come out. You can change it on primary day,” said Visconte.

The opportunity to do that is from noon to 9 p.m. at your polling place, Tuesday.

Monroe Ambulance’s upcoming Fall EMT classes

Subject: FW: EMT Schedule
Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2011 20:56:00 +0000


Attached is the information regarding Monroe Ambulance’s upcoming Fall EMT classes. Please note that one is a refresher class, and the other is an EMT original class. They’re great job opportunities in the local emergency medical services community. I understand that unfortunately many organizations have to deal with letting good people go because of budgetary shortfalls, so this may be an opportunity to for some of those folks to look into another career. People with EMT certifications are also put ahead of other applicants when they apply for jobs in the hospital settings. Considering the fact that our areas largest employer is the University of Rochester, this might help some people open those doors to future employment. This is also good for someone looking for some rewarding part-time employment also.



Successful completion of this class will certify a person as a NYS Emergency Medical Technician. If you can think of anyone that might benefit from this class, please have them contact Aaron Horowitz for more information, his information is attached. This class will be 2 nights a week for 3 ½ months.



For those that are already have EMT/Paramedic/Nursing certifications needing any re-certification classes for any of the alphabet courses such as CPR, ACLS, PALS, and others, please feel free to talk to Aaron about our monthly schedules. Thank you all for your time.
