On September 16, Rochester Emergency Veterinary Services (REVS) gathered its board of directors to announce the opening of its new location in East Rochester at the end of this year.  

The journey of REVS, while complicated, started just over a year ago on Labor Day weekend, 2023. “Dr. Buck, Dr. Marion, and myself decided it was unacceptable that the city of Rochester, Monroe County, and the surrounding areas would be without emergency veterinary care for our beloved pets,” says Board of Directors member Dr. Bruce Ingersoll. “We hatched this crazy idea to establish a nonprofit emergency veterinary facility here in Rochester. In a short six months, REVS was open and began helping the pets and owners of our community. Now, just one year later, we’re here to announce our move to a new facility.” 

This new facility will drastically change the amount and quality of care that REVS can provide to all of their furry patients. The 10,000 square foot space is a huge upgrade from their current 3,000 square foot space, with the ability to house forty overnight patients as opposed to the current fifteen patients a night. Additionally, they will have state-of-the-art ultrasound, digital x-ray capabilities, a dedicated feline ward, and as an isolation ward. That’s not all the facility has in store, though.  

“There’s also an educational space that will allow us to train our staff and hold community educational events,” says Dr. Ingersoll. 

REVS thanked the Paul Klingenstein Family Foundation for the contribution to the organization and expressed gratitude to the community for other donations that the hospital has received. The center also received $1.5 million from Tom Golisano as part of the philanthropist’s recent donations to non-profits across the state.  

However, the process is far from over and REVS is still accepting community support. CEO Adam Edwards has set a goal of $150,000 through donations to help REVS cross the finish line and make the emergency services as accessible as possible.  

Donations can be made through their updated website, rocemergencyvet.com.

For my family nothing says cozy, comfort foods like a crock pot dinner. Coming home from work and school (or waking up in the afternoon for me) to a house full of warmth and yummy smells sets the mood for a great night.

When my kids were littler and I worked mostly evenings, throwing the ingredients for a soup or stew into the crockpot was the easiest way to feed my family on nights when I was not home for dinner.

Now that I work nights, a slow cooker meal requires a bit more prep, but with planning it is no problem. While I make dinner one night, I precut veggies and sauté meat to be put in the slow cooker the next morning. Then these ingredients can be stored in Tupperware overnight and put into the crock pot the next morning. There are also many recipes online and on Pinterest where all the ingredients can be assembled, placed in Ziploc bag, and frozen. These can be pulled from the freezer and placed right in the crockpot. This method would work well for folks that do meal prep on the weekend. (I also mentioned this in a previous article as a good way to prep meals for caregivers to make when parents are out of town). 

While I mostly use my slow cooker for soups, stews, and chilis there are many other great ways to utilize it. It is the easiest (and least messy) way to make spareribs. Simply season with salt and pepper and throw in the crock pot with a bottle of barbeque sauce. After six to eight hours on high, your ribs are falling off the bone. Another favorite of mine is pulled pork. A whole pork shoulder can be placed in the crock pot. While you can make it with any flavors you want, I like to keep it pretty simple. That way the pork can be used one night, for example, for pulled pork sandwiches with BBQ sauce and another night for carnitas tacos or on top of nachos. You could also add it to tomato sauce along with ground beef and some sausage for an over-the-top Bolognese sauce. A pork shoulder is a very inexpensive cut of meat and makes a huge portion that can be used for multiple meals. Again, there are many online recipes for cooking cuts of meat in the crock pot. 

For this month’s recipe I offer my husband’s favorite slow cooker meal: White chicken chili.

White chicken chili 

Prep/cook time: 6–7 hours

INGREDIENTS: 

3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 

1 large onion, diced 

1 16 oz. jar of salsa 

1 can diced green chiles 

2 cans navy beans (or one white bean, one black bean)

2–3 cups water or chicken broth (enough to cover the chicken completely) 

1 tbsp cumin 

Salt and pepper 

1 block Monterey jack cheese, cubed 

1 block pepper jack cheese, cubed

DIRECTIONS: 

1. Place chicken, broth, onion, and salsa in crock pot. 

2. Cook on low for four to five hours. Remove chicken and shred with two forks, then return to pot. Add beans and cheese. Cook on high two hours or until cheese is completely melted. 

3. Stir and enjoy! 

Great with tortilla chips!

HOLIDAY CHEER COMING TO HILTON 

The village of Hilton will celebrate its third annual Hilton Holiday Celebration on Main Street on December 7. All Main Street businesses will participate in the event—which has nearly tripled in size in only a couple of years—offering specials, deals, and giveaways. 

The streets will be lined with fifteen to twenty local vendors, offering food and arts and crafts. There will be free popcorn and hot cocoa, as well as holiday activities like visits with Santa, caroling, wagon rides, and the Scavenger Hunt of Christmas Past, hosted by the Parma Hilton Historical Society. 

“There is just something magical about the holiday season and bringing a community together for one single reason,” says Ryan Rockefeller, assistant recreation director for Hilton-Parma Recreation. “This is also a free event to attend, and we want everyone to feel welcome and included—no matter where you’re from, who you are, or what your socio-economical background is.” 

A DJ and a live band will provide the festive tunes to keep visitors entertained, and there will be stations for holiday craft making and a kids’ zone with games for the little ones. La Danse will perform a recital during the event as well. The festivities will conclude with the community tree lighting at the Community Center gazebo. 

Organizers are expecting about 3,000 visitors to the event, says Rockefeller, adding, “It’s just an awesome event for a small town with a big heart!” 

PITTSFORD’S NEW INDOOR PLAYGROUND 

Jess Swinford was a stay-at-home mom when she moved to Rochester one year ago from Hawaii. As she tried to fill her days with her toddler son, she realized he wasn’t a fan of any of the area’s indoor playgrounds. That’s when she had the idea for ROC Kid City, an indoor playground she opened in Pittsford, across from the Pittsford Plaza. 

Even though she had never opened a business before, Swinford found herself calm and focused during the process. Her biggest challenge was finding a space, and once that happened, she says things quickly fell into place. 

Swinford’s vision for ROC Kid City, which opened in June, was simple. “I wanted to create a fun, safe, clean space for children to explore, imagine, and play. And at the same time, (for) the adults to be able to sit and relax a little, while being able to easily view their children,” she says. 

The indoor playground is recommended for children ages ten years and younger, and features a soft play area for babies and toddlers, a multi-level play structure, a train table area, slides, a ball pit, interactive wall games (via a projector), a climbing wall, a role play area featuring an ice cream truck, an Augmented Reality Sandtable, and much more. 

Parents can reserve a party room for groups of up to fifteen adults and fifteen children, or they can rent out the entire 7,500 square feet for a special event. 

Swinford has been happy to see the flow of guests in her door, and excited to hear their positive feedback. While she’s focusing on her current location and ensuring its continued success, she hopes to open a second location in the next five years.

BRIGHTER DAYS: A SAFE HAVEN FOR KIDS’ MENTAL HEALTH 

Prior to the opening of Brighter Days Pediatric Mental Health Care Center on the URMC campus in July, if a child was facing a mental health crisis, they would visit their local emergency room or Comprehensive Psychiatric Emergency Program (CPEP). The child and family would get the care they need, but wait times were long and the system lacked an individualized approach. 

Today, Brighter Days offers families an option for immediate and safe mental health care, with fifteen patient rooms staffed by thirty caregivers, open 12 p.m. to 7 p.m., seven days a week. The walk-in facility was opened with the support of the Brighter Days Foundation, which helped fund the center with a $1 million gift, as well as the efforts of other donors to Golisano Children’s Hospital. It took ten months to build and open the facility. 

Mike Scharf, chief of the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, estimates the center will see about 3,000 patients in its first year. And for any of those children who may not have access to transportation, West Herr Auto Group has donated a vehicle to get them to Brighter Days.

The mission was to open a child- and family-centered service to evaluate and intervene for youth in crisis, says Scharf, and to do so in a calming, individualized manner. So far, he’s been satisfied with the outcomes of the program. 

“We have been pleased to see all of the processes we planned come to fruition,” says Scharf, “including a much more family-centered and quicker process— compared to CPEP and the ER—to help youth de-escalate when in distress and connect them with appropriate services and return home.”

The long Thanksgiving weekend is coming up. Whether your family will be on the road for family fun or hunkering down at home with a turkey in the oven, make sure to carve out some reading time. Here are three courses (picture books, middle grade books, teen books) to whet your appetites and make you thankful for our area’s amazing bookstores and libraries!

Yet again, the Rochester Museum and Science Center (RMSC) is raising the bar with its latest exhibit, “Animal Super Powers.” This LEGO exhibit showcases various “larger-than-life-sized” animal sculptures, built by full-time LEGO artist Sean Kenney, that visitors can interact with.

RMSC director of exhibits Calvin Uzelmeier talked to (585) Kids about why this exhibit was selected. 

“We do quite a bit of research to see what’s out there. What’s been really popular? What is what? What have visitors and other museums really liked? We’ve done surveys with our own audience here in Rochester, through social media and through email, to find out topics that our community is interested in. And so—we choose our travelers based on that,” Uzelmeier says. “There’s been a lot of interest in animals.” 

Whether young or old, anyone can enjoy this exhibit, he says. 

“We also really like this kind of creative play and build and giving people the opportunity to explore their imaginations with this toy with brick that so many of us are familiar with and many of us still play with as adults,” Uzelmeier says. 

Through LEGO bricks, this exhibit will allow children and adults alike to dive into the colorful, imaginative world of LEGOS and learn hands-on about the different types of animals and their unique “super powers.” Starting September 27, visitors can walk through countless large LEGO displays of their favorite animals, ranging from pandas to mountain goats. Even some plants, like the Venus flytrap, will be featured in this exhibit. 

As visitors explore, they can learn about different animals’ super powers. For example, did you know that tree frogs have sticky toes? Or that mountain goats can climb steep cliffs? These cool abilities are what make each animal special and unique, helping them to survive and adapt to their environment. 

“These are giant LEGO sculptures of animals. In some cases they might be full-size renditions. In other cases they might be blown up, like a dragonfly,” Uzelmeier says. “The biggest one is the polar bear, which is over 133,000 bricks.” 

Uzelmeier says that sculpture took about 852 hours to build, while the smallest sculpture, a Koi fish, took only eighteen hours and 1,900 bricks to build. 

Anyone can be a LEGO artist! At this new exhibit, there will be special tables for kids to build their own sculptures, just like Kenney. 

“Not only will visitors be able to come and marvel at the incredible sculptures, done by the artist John Kenney, but there will also be lots of build tables where they can build their own things and explore their own curiosities,” he says. 

These interactive elements invite visitors to directly engage with the sculptures and displays. Whether constructing a wild animal or a unique creation, these hands-on activities offer a unique opportunity for visitors to experience the joy of creative play and problem-solving.

Each sculpture in the exhibit, from the detailed tree frog to the magnificent polar bear, highlights a different “super power” of the animal kingdom. These educational aspects are seamlessly integrated into the exhibit, proving that learning about animal adaptations can be both fun and memorable.

“We also really like this idea of kind of creative play and build, giving people the opportunity to explore their imaginations,” he says. 

In addition to Kenney’s sculptures and interactive LEGO building tables, RMSC is also adding a damselfly sculpture from its own collection.

“One of the things that we always do with any traveling exhibition, we always like to make it kind of uniquely Rochester,” Uzeglmeier says. 

This blend of global artistry and local pride ensures this display to be a uniquely engaging experience. This temporary exhibit is perfect for anyone who likes animals, LEGOs, art, or all three, to have some interactive fun and discover the super powers of the animal kingdom. 

“Animal Super Powers” at RMSC is a must-see! Visitors can dive into a world of giant LEGO sculptures and interactive fun, learning the unique abilities of animals while also unleashing their own creativity. From towering polar bears to delicate Koi fish, this exhibit promises an unforgettable adventure for all ages. The exhibit is open through April 27, 2025. Don’t miss your chance to build, learn, and be amazed!
