Speaker 1 (00:00):
68 degrees. I'm Dave Deboe, News Radio Wham 1180. Next
(00:04):
news coming up at 1130, breaking news when it happens anytime.
But first, another hour with Bob Lonsbury starts now on
News Radio Wham 1180. Thanks, Don.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I appreciate that. Good morning, my friend. Thank you so
much for tuning in. It's a flat-out beautiful day for
a radio program. I think a little bit of a...
Do we have an intro for this gentleman?
Speaker 3 (00:25):
We'll find out later.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Ladies and the sports director at Channel 8, the great
Thad Brown.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Sir, good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Missed you. Welcome to the broadcast.
Speaker 5 (00:35):
Good morning, Bob. Same. Good to be back on with you.
How are you doing?
Speaker 3 (00:37):
I'm doing outstanding, buddy.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Before we get to the bills and football and such
like that, it's kind of a milestone day. I just
want to get your thoughts. Any impressions, recollections, or feelings, sir?
Speaker 5 (00:49):
Yeah, I do think of what I was doing that day.
I mean, it's you know, a story that's probably appropriate
to the job I do. I was living with a
couple of friends of mine when someone alerted me to
turn on the TV and me and my friend were
planning to go out and play golf. And the moment
I saw what was going on, I yelled him to
come into the room. And he said later, days later,
he's like, yeah, you yelled. I thought you were going
(01:10):
to tell me about my fantasy quarterback getting injured or
something like that. And then it obviously was a much
more serious situation. And me and my friend, almost speechless,
sat and watched TV for about five, six hours straight,
as I'm sure just about everybody did on that day
in one way, shape, or form. I did call my parents.
I called my girlfriend, who's now my wife, and he
called his family, but that was the extent of the conversation.
(01:32):
We just watched and digested and kind of understood that
things were changing that day. That's a story I always remember.
We actually did end up going to play golf. We
didn't know what else to do. It felt wrong, but again,
we just didn't know what else to do. Nothing was
happening in the world, and even if I worked in
a TV station, I was, I ended up being off
that day. So that's just what we did to kind
of fill the time. And, um, you know, beyond that,
(01:56):
I think more today has been about remembering the heroism.
You know, I've read a couple of stories about flight
93 and the people that saved a lot of people
with what they did that day. And then, you know,
even the people in the tower, the firefighters and, and,
you know, not just the firefighters who it was their
job to protect and say, we did incredible work that day, but,
(02:17):
the people who were in the towers, who, you know,
just decided to step up and do it. The gentleman
who wore the red bandana, I can't remember his name,
but everybody who's seen the red bandana story knows what
I'm talking about. So, you know, as much as that
day was a day of tragedy, I think it's easier
today to remember the people who made it less of
a tragedy, the people who made the effort to do
(02:38):
the best they could, because in the day that was
the worst of America, it was a representation of the
best of America. And, you know, who doesn't Who doesn't
want to try and focus on the best of America
when you have the choice? So that's kind of where
I land, you know, when thinking about the 25th anniversary
of that day. And the other thing about it, too,
is that, you know, it's weird now that I work
with a number of adults who weren't even alive for
(02:59):
that day. It's crazy to think that that day is
that old, that there are people at the station who,
you know, not only weren't old enough to remember, but
just literally weren't in existence when that happened. So explaining
what day was about, what life was like, what happened,
kind of the The remembrances, I mean, you know, to me,
Pearl Harbor Day was that kind of day growing up,
(03:19):
you know, asking people, what was that like? What was,
you know, how did that day actually feel? And to
be on the other end of it now is a
little unnerving. It also reminds me that I'm old, Bob,
which is not fun either.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
It is a great Thad Brown, of course, sports director
of Channel 8.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
You mentioned Flight 93.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
The four men who rushed the cockpit, all have been
collegiate athletes, two rugby players. and won a judo champion,
and the other two, a football quarterback and a baseball player.
Athletes and young men who retained physical vigor, that was
a factor, at least on that one plane.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
On that one day.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
I think, too, and this might be a conceit from
someone who works in sports, who grew up playing sports,
around sports, that I do think that the athlete is
kind of predisposed to making that choice, to understanding... not
necessarily the stakes, but realizing that I can make a
difference if I act right now and the training of
(04:22):
having to just understand and digest situations in an instant
and being able to, you know, not only make the
right choice, but to make a choice. I mean, I
would understand many people just being paralyzed in that situation.
And I think the athlete who consistently has to, in
a split second, decide, am I going to run left?
Speaker 6 (04:40):
Am I going to run right?
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Am I going to throw to first? Am I going
to throw to second? Am I going to shoot this
three-pointer in a pass? I think you are maybe a
little more predisposed to having a comfortability with the situation.
And again, this is me probably trying to play amateur psychologist,
but especially the ones that do it at the high
level that you're talking about, I think that there is
an ability and maybe more so a comfortability to do
(05:05):
what is necessary in that spot because you that has
been literally, you know, what you have grown up learning
how to do when it comes to being inside the
lines on a field. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I think that's, that's brilliant.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I think that that's a very wise observation.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Also, uh, contact sports.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I think that you learn as a kid out there,
how to take a hit and stay in the game.
And that in some situations can turn out to be
a useful, uh, ability as well.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
I think with all sports, all that counts. So like
contact sports, I think your point is correct. Um, But
I mean, you know, the other part of sports, too,
is you've got to learn how to lose. You know,
you've got to learn how to be able to handle
that and how to be able to get back up
from that. And, you know, that particular situation of Flight
93 wasn't the same as I'm going to lose a
game and come back three days later. But the idea of,
(05:53):
you know, I might be down right now, but there's
an opportunity for me to turn this around. There's a method.
There's a a process that I know how to follow
that I can follow that maybe I might, you know,
when one of the, one of the things that I
always say about high school sports, and this is a
whole different discussion that the best part about high school
sports is that at the varsity level, you can put
kids in a situation where they feel pressure. They believe
(06:16):
it and that it's not, but to them, because this
is what they've grown up their entire lives preparing for,
because there's people watching because there's championships on the line.
It matters that much. You get to learn how to
be in a situation where you can lose a And
it feels like there are huge consequences, but they're not.
And when you go into life and there are huge consequences,
(06:37):
you now have been prepared for, okay, why I lost
this time, and this is how I got back up.
And again, the consequences between high school football and or
whatever and Flight 93 are wildly disparate. But the idea
of being able to get back up when you've been
put down, when someone else has had an advantage, someone
else has done something better than you, and you still
(06:57):
know how to turn that around... I think those situations
are comparable. And, you know, to the point we're making
about the athletes who are a big part of that,
I think that was probably a part of it too.
Speaker 7 (07:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Again, another wonderful observation, Thad.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Moms and dads, hearing what you've just said on both
those points, there's a pretty good reason to maybe have
your child play sports, see if they're interested in them
for the opportunity to learn those lessons. Thad Brown, sports
director of Channel 8. We probably should talk a little
bit about the Buffalo Bills. Season opens. prospects seem bright, right?
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Absolutely. The theme of this year is going to be change. Obviously,
the new head coach, Joe Brady, taking over for Sean McDermott.
A lot of questions about what he can do. He
doesn't come in with the highest of a resume to
be a new head coach, but it's a very reasonable one.
Guys like Joe Brady get head coaching jobs all the time.
(07:51):
Whether he can do the job remains to be seen.
It's not going to be a process we're going to
find out on Sunday. We're probably not going to find
out about it this year. It's going to be a
multiple-year experience. But I think for the in the weeds,
the X's and O's part of the build, it's the
new defense that is going to be the big difference.
Because Joe Brady is still going to call the offense
just like he did last year to beat Josh Allen.
(08:11):
It's largely the same group of players. The offense is
going to be really, really good. What Jim Leonard, the
new defensive coordinator, brings to the defense, and that's what
Sean McDermott did, so that's where the biggest change is happening,
is the biggest question for this team. He runs a
different style of defense. People will hear Sean McDermott ran 4-3,
Jim Leonard runs 3-4. It's not as different as black
(08:32):
and white, but there are certainly changes, guys doing different things,
different roles. How well they adapt to that, how fast
they adapt to that, will be a big part of
whether or not this Bills season is better than it
was last year. And this particular game on Sunday, I
think it's a good microcosm of that because the Houston
Texans have one of the best defenses in the NFL.
When the Bills have the ball, even though their offense
(08:54):
is fantastic, the guys on their side of the ball
are probably a little bit better. I think the way
the Bills win this game is their defense being uniquely,
or maybe not unique, but improved enough that they can
create turnovers and they can keep their offense in the
game where the offense probably shouldn't be expected to score
the normal 25, 30 points as well.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
That's a great Thad Brown there.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Your coverage of the game, how can we follow you.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
There, please, sir?
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Bill's kickoff live will be on Channel 8 at 1130,
Thad Brown 7 on every social that's ever been invented,
and then Bill's game day recap. You can watch that
on Rochester First streaming after the game, probably about 7 o'clock,
plus we've got post-game show live um on rochester first
streaming as well starting at four o'clock so i think
that covers it bob i mean we're getting to the
(09:41):
point now when you ask that question that's like more
than the rest.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Of the call so i'll stop it right now it's
it's reflection of your popularity sir uh a last question
uh tangential how's how's your college girl doing how was
the summer is everything going in a good direction at home.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Yeah doing good She's a sophomore now at Binghamton.
Speaker 7 (09:59):
Very proud.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Actually, we just got to talk with her. She's already
worried about figuring out housing for next year because of
how it works in college. But the cool thing about
a college sophomore, and I'm sure a lot of parents
have experienced this, is that you've gotten past the year
of separation and how does that work. And for us
being an empty nester, what is that like? for her
living on her own, managing, everybody's comfortable with that. So
(10:20):
now you go into a sophomore, you're kind of ready
to attack. She knows what she wants to do. She
doesn't have the pressure of, well, I've got to find
internships now, or I've got to start looking at creating jobs.
It's kind of like the freedom to explore and do
what she wants in an environment she's very comfortable in
without the impending, I've got to get a job in
X amount of months. And I've really enjoyed seeing her
(10:41):
in this spot because to see her kind of free
and unleashed, as an adult kind of sort of the
first time is, is kind of exciting because you know,
when any kid, you always grow up with the sky
being the limit, but where she's at right now in
her life, it almost feels like you can actually reach
out and touch the whole idea, but the sky's the limit.
So we're very excited for, for what she's doing. Very proud.
(11:04):
She's just such a go-getter and is in like 18
clubs and trying to dominate campus already. It's really been
fun to watch.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
That's the great Thad Brown. Always a gentleman, brother. Thank
you so much.

Speaker 5 (12:17):
Sir, good morning.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Welcome to the broadcast. Is everything on? You there, Sheriff?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yes, sir.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
I can hear you.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Oh, I apologize. Welcome to the broadcast.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Your thoughts on this day?
Speaker 3 (12:35):
What should we know?
Speaker 7 (12:38):
Well, it's a very solemn reminder to me, I think,
to all of us of what happened to our nation
25 years ago. I think that, you know, Those of
us that were alive will never forget where we were.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I was the.
Speaker 7 (12:59):
Captain of the Nestor Hose Company of the Geneva Fire Department,
and I remember Chief DeBolt at the time called me
and said, if we get activated from this far north,
I'm dispatching your company, so get a crew together. And
I had no problem getting 15 people that wanted to go.
They didn't make it as far north of us, but
(13:20):
everybody wanted to go down there and do what they could.
It was, um, six months before I started at the
sheriff's office. And it's just, uh, you know, as I
said to the address and in our 285 members that
I typed up to them last night, um, today and
what happened 25 years ago, our reminder of how, um,
(13:43):
necessary our, our mission is in, in first response and
public safety, how important our relationships are with one another.
that being law enforcement, fire EMS within law enforcement, our,
our partners regionally, um, and how quickly things can change.
And we need to rely on each other, even, even
(14:05):
more than we thought. So, um, you know, based on,
on an incident that could potentially happen anywhere to any
one of us. Um, but it's really, it's, it's just, uh,
it's a weird time at 25 years because we've, We've
got a significant percentage of our workforce right at the
(14:27):
sheriff's office that weren't even alive yet when this incident happened.
But yet, as I was in my car making my
way to an event in Geneva for a remembrance ceremony
a couple hours ago, our police radio is going nonstop.
And these men and women are answering calls to go
serve strangers that they don't know. and you just never
(14:49):
know what's on the other side of those calls. But
yet they continue to step up and report and serve
with honor. And I think for me, that's the best
way for us to honor the 3,000 people that we
lost 25 years ago.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Amen.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Thank you so much, sir.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
That's Ontario County Sheriff Dave Cirincione. This is NewsRadio WHAM 1180.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
It's not just a word, it's how we play.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Detailed. Accountable. Relentless.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Making a major dental decision can feel intimidating, especially when
you don't know what to expect. Lonsbury here with Dr.
Frank Lamar from High Bridge Dental Implants. Doctor, how do
you help patients understand their options before deciding?
Speaker 8 (15:51):
Bob, our consultation process and our evaluation process starts with
what I'll call our intake. We capture photographs, 3D imaging,
intraoral scans. We feed that into our systems that take
that information and turn it into an assessment. And that's
where the consultation starts. We know everything about your anatomy.
We know everything about what your dental condition is. But
(16:12):
what we don't know is what success looks like for you.
And so making sure that we design your treatment plan
around what your goals are and educating you as to
how we're going to get you that. requires a lot
of information gathering first in order to give you exactly
what you need and how long it's going to take
and what it's going to cost.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Take the first step today. Call 461-2767 or visit hybridgemplants.com.
Welcome back. 222-1180, our number. Cody, I'm glad you called.
Appreciate you holding on. Welcome to NewsRadio WHAM 1180.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Hello, Bob.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Yes, sir.
Speaker 7 (16:49):
Welcome.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Good morning.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
I'm going to try and make this as quick as
I can. I could write a whole book about it, Bob.
I was in Chicago. I'm an oversized escort, and I
was delivering a turbine to Chicago on the morning of.
And we delivered early, and we were leaving, and they
were sending everybody out of Chicago because they thought the
Sears Tower was next. But little did I know that
(17:13):
in less than 48 hours, I would be at ground zero.
We stopped at the truck stop and got filled up,
me and the other escort, and made our way home.
That's another whole story. But as soon as I got home,
I got a call from my boss that we were
supposed to go to Buffalo and pick up this machine
that was the biggest machine that was at ground zero.
(17:35):
It was tearing down the Delco building in Buffalo, and
we had a permit, and it was heavy enough, 360,000 pounds.
Speaker 7 (17:41):
They put.
Speaker 6 (17:43):
It had a 90-foot reach and could cut 24-inch steel
girders like scissors cut in paper. And along with the
permit was an order from the governor to get that
machine there now. And it was big enough that we
used to have state police. There wasn't any available, so
we had four escorts to take it down there. We
got there the next day, midday, and we had to
(18:06):
wait until 10 o'clock at night to go in. They
shut the GW down. And the NYPD checked us out first.
They had our licenses and everything. And they shut the
GW down at 10 o'clock. And it was a machine,
four escorts, and one New York City cop. And the
only thing they wanted on the bridge because of the
weight was us. We got in the ground. We got
(18:28):
to the other side of the bridge. And Port Authority
did the same thing, checked us out. And the FBI
checked us out. And we got FBI badges to wear
while we were in there. And we got in there,
we got the machine in there, and they put the
shears on another truck because it was so heavy. But
we got in there, and the guy from the Port
Authority that was kind of running the show, it was
(18:50):
so surreal, Bob. Imagine the Buffalo Bills stadium lights that
are on the stadium. Imagine those times five. That's what
was on the site. And if you look to the left,
the building that was there on the left, all the
windows were blown out, and the firemen had hung the
biggest American flag you'd ever seen before. And the excavators
(19:11):
were all going, and they had cadaver dogs there, and
they all had leather booties on so they didn't cut
their feet up. These guys were picking everything up, and
the horns would sound, and everything would stop, and it
would be silent. And they would go out there and
bag a body part, an arm, a leg, whatever, and
(19:34):
then the horns would sound and everything would start again.
And I'm trying to make this as short as possible.
I picked up a piece of the Trade Center and
put it in my pocket. We weren't supposed to pick
anything up. They said there was cameras everywhere, but the
truck went by and this piece of steel fell off
and i put it in my pocket i still have
it it's in every one of my escort vehicles and
(19:56):
across the street where the fire hall was it was
all gutted out where the fire department across the street
was and there was some of the people some of
the celebrities in there and they were making meals for
the firemen and those police officers and everybody He asked
us if we wanted to eat, and I said, no,
we already did. Just let the firemen eat. And we
were standing about 25 feet from that piece that looked
(20:18):
like a big arrowhead on TV. I was standing about
25 feet from there, and they had chicken wire set
up in front of the fire hall, so debris didn't
fly in there. And these firemen were standing there, and
they had fourth graders had made them pictures thanking them,
and they were all clipped to the chicken wire. And
this one fireman kneeled down And the little girl had
(20:41):
drawn a picture of a mother and a father and
three little kids and the father had a halo. And
he read it off and he said, it said, thank
you for being so brave and trying to save my daddy.
And I just couldn't handle it, Bob. These guys were
made of steel. These guys were the bravest guys I
ever met before. And these kids nowadays, you know, they
(21:04):
were just little kids or they weren't even born that
need to know what happened down there, Bob. They need
to know. That's all I got, Bob.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
God bless you, my dog. I appreciate it, Cody. Thanks
for the call, Cody. What a touching thing.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Though I'm still shallow enough to point out that when
he said, I'm an oversized escort, you didn't know where
that was going for a moment. Hey, honestly, you truck
drivers out there, when he said, I'm an oversized escort,
you thought, what? And you said, do they pay extra
for that? Real quick, if I could, Tonight at 9
on that downtown section third platoon program, the guest is
(21:45):
going to be Paul Dondorfer. You know he's a Monroe
County legislator. You know he's a veteran Rochester police officer.
He's a high up muckety-muck at the Locust Club. But
25 years ago, he was a young man, and he
was a New York City police officer. And he's going
to tell us what it was like from his perspective today.
on the ground in uniform that day. I hope you
(22:07):
will listen in at 9 o'clock tonight. If I could,
the great Marvin T. Adams, the poet evangelist of Rochester,
he's taking care of his dear wife. She's got a
little bit of a heart issue still going on, and
so he has sent in a poem he wrote for
September 11th. He wrote it yesterday afternoon at quarter after four,
(22:30):
and he asked me if I would read it.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Arvind T.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Adams says, Remember this day. Remember 9-11. This day we
can't forget. For many souls were lost that day. We've
not recovered yet. We will never bow to evil. We
will never bow to hate. For we are more than conquerors.
We pray you are not too late. This day we
must remember the souls we lost that day. Pray for
(22:57):
all who lost their lives and did not walk away.
This is no time to fight our own. It's time
to unite, my friend, for Jesus wants to give us peace,
but we must let him in. Oh, bless the name
of Jesus. Oh, bless his name indeed. I urge all
souls to turn to him, and he will meet our need.
(23:18):
Remember 9-11? Keep this day in mind. Behold, the Lord
is coming soon, for he is just and kind. May
the blessings of the Lord Jesus Christ touch every family
who lost someone during that difficult time, and give them
the peace that only he can give. In the mighty
name of Jesus, amen. That poem and prayer comes from, again,
(23:39):
the poet evangelist of Rochester, the great Marvin T.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
Adams.

Go out there.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Ask your questions. Most of us don't know squat about
EVs and hybrids. They've got them all there. You can
try them out. They'll answer their questions. When do you
charge them? What's that cost? How do I do that?
How long is the battery last? They can answer all
of that. They're on Route 96. just west of 332.
The website, oh, by the way, if you're looking to
sell a car, electric, a hybrid, or even gasoline, they'd

Speaker 6 (29:21):
Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
We're looking at a live picture from Washington, and there
is smoke pouring out of the Pentagon.
Speaker 7 (29:27):
There is a large fire at the Pentagon. The Pentagon
has been evacuated.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
From the Associated Press, Dateline Pittsburgh, large plane crashes in
western Pennsylvania.

He said, Mom....
Speaker 2 (29:39):
I just want to tell you I love you.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
There are three guys on board who've taken over the plane.
It's starting to look like extraordinary heroism and selflessness played
out on board United Flight 93.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Freedom itself was attacked this morning.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
By a faceless coward and freedom will be defended. 25
years later, we remember the lives and the families of

news coming up at 1130, breaking news when it happens anytime.
But first, another hour with Bob Lonsbury starts now on
News Radio Wham 1180. Thanks, Don.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I appreciate that. Good morning, my friend. Thank you so
much for tuning in. It's a flat-out beautiful day for
a radio program. I think a little bit of a...
Do we have an intro for this gentleman?
Speaker 3 (00:25):
We'll find out later.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Ladies and the sports director at Channel 8, the great
Thad Brown.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Sir, good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Missed you. Welcome to the broadcast.
Speaker 5 (00:35):
Good morning, Bob. Same. Good to be back on with you.
How are you doing?
Speaker 3 (00:37):
I'm doing outstanding, buddy.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Before we get to the bills and football and such
like that, it's kind of a milestone day. I just
want to get your thoughts. Any impressions, recollections, or feelings, sir?
Speaker 5 (00:49):
Yeah, I do think of what I was doing that day.
I mean, it's you know, a story that's probably appropriate
to the job I do. I was living with a
couple of friends of mine when someone alerted me to
turn on the TV and me and my friend were
planning to go out and play golf. And the moment
I saw what was going on, I yelled him to
come into the room. And he said later, days later,
he's like, yeah, you yelled. I thought you were going
(01:10):
to tell me about my fantasy quarterback getting injured or
something like that. And then it obviously was a much
more serious situation. And me and my friend, almost speechless,
sat and watched TV for about five, six hours straight,
as I'm sure just about everybody did on that day
in one way, shape, or form. I did call my parents.
I called my girlfriend, who's now my wife, and he
called his family, but that was the extent of the conversation.
(01:32):
We just watched and digested and kind of understood that
things were changing that day. That's a story I always remember.
We actually did end up going to play golf. We
didn't know what else to do. It felt wrong, but again,
we just didn't know what else to do. Nothing was
happening in the world, and even if I worked in
a TV station, I was, I ended up being off
that day. So that's just what we did to kind
of fill the time. And, um, you know, beyond that,
(01:56):
I think more today has been about remembering the heroism.
You know, I've read a couple of stories about flight
93 and the people that saved a lot of people
with what they did that day. And then, you know,
even the people in the tower, the firefighters and, and,
you know, not just the firefighters who it was their
job to protect and say, we did incredible work that day, but,
(02:17):
the people who were in the towers, who, you know,
just decided to step up and do it. The gentleman
who wore the red bandana, I can't remember his name,
but everybody who's seen the red bandana story knows what
I'm talking about. So, you know, as much as that
day was a day of tragedy, I think it's easier
today to remember the people who made it less of
a tragedy, the people who made the effort to do
(02:38):
the best they could, because in the day that was
the worst of America, it was a representation of the
best of America. And, you know, who doesn't Who doesn't
want to try and focus on the best of America
when you have the choice? So that's kind of where
I land, you know, when thinking about the 25th anniversary
of that day. And the other thing about it, too,
is that, you know, it's weird now that I work
with a number of adults who weren't even alive for
(02:59):
that day. It's crazy to think that that day is
that old, that there are people at the station who,
you know, not only weren't old enough to remember, but
just literally weren't in existence when that happened. So explaining
what day was about, what life was like, what happened,
kind of the The remembrances, I mean, you know, to me,
Pearl Harbor Day was that kind of day growing up,
(03:19):
you know, asking people, what was that like? What was,
you know, how did that day actually feel? And to
be on the other end of it now is a
little unnerving. It also reminds me that I'm old, Bob,
which is not fun either.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
It is a great Thad Brown, of course, sports director
of Channel 8.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
You mentioned Flight 93.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
The four men who rushed the cockpit, all have been
collegiate athletes, two rugby players. and won a judo champion,
and the other two, a football quarterback and a baseball player.
Athletes and young men who retained physical vigor, that was
a factor, at least on that one plane.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
On that one day.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
I think, too, and this might be a conceit from
someone who works in sports, who grew up playing sports,
around sports, that I do think that the athlete is
kind of predisposed to making that choice, to understanding... not
necessarily the stakes, but realizing that I can make a
difference if I act right now and the training of
(04:22):
having to just understand and digest situations in an instant
and being able to, you know, not only make the
right choice, but to make a choice. I mean, I
would understand many people just being paralyzed in that situation.
And I think the athlete who consistently has to, in
a split second, decide, am I going to run left?
Speaker 6 (04:40):
Am I going to run right?
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Am I going to throw to first? Am I going
to throw to second? Am I going to shoot this
three-pointer in a pass? I think you are maybe a
little more predisposed to having a comfortability with the situation.
And again, this is me probably trying to play amateur psychologist,
but especially the ones that do it at the high
level that you're talking about, I think that there is
an ability and maybe more so a comfortability to do
(05:05):
what is necessary in that spot because you that has
been literally, you know, what you have grown up learning
how to do when it comes to being inside the
lines on a field. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I think that's, that's brilliant.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I think that that's a very wise observation.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Also, uh, contact sports.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I think that you learn as a kid out there,
how to take a hit and stay in the game.
And that in some situations can turn out to be
a useful, uh, ability as well.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
I think with all sports, all that counts. So like
contact sports, I think your point is correct. Um, But
I mean, you know, the other part of sports, too,
is you've got to learn how to lose. You know,
you've got to learn how to be able to handle
that and how to be able to get back up
from that. And, you know, that particular situation of Flight
93 wasn't the same as I'm going to lose a
game and come back three days later. But the idea of,
(05:53):
you know, I might be down right now, but there's
an opportunity for me to turn this around. There's a method.
There's a a process that I know how to follow
that I can follow that maybe I might, you know,
when one of the, one of the things that I
always say about high school sports, and this is a
whole different discussion that the best part about high school
sports is that at the varsity level, you can put
kids in a situation where they feel pressure. They believe
(06:16):
it and that it's not, but to them, because this
is what they've grown up their entire lives preparing for,
because there's people watching because there's championships on the line.
It matters that much. You get to learn how to
be in a situation where you can lose a And
it feels like there are huge consequences, but they're not.
And when you go into life and there are huge consequences,
(06:37):
you now have been prepared for, okay, why I lost
this time, and this is how I got back up.
And again, the consequences between high school football and or
whatever and Flight 93 are wildly disparate. But the idea
of being able to get back up when you've been
put down, when someone else has had an advantage, someone
else has done something better than you, and you still
(06:57):
know how to turn that around... I think those situations
are comparable. And, you know, to the point we're making
about the athletes who are a big part of that,
I think that was probably a part of it too.
Speaker 7 (07:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Again, another wonderful observation, Thad.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Moms and dads, hearing what you've just said on both
those points, there's a pretty good reason to maybe have
your child play sports, see if they're interested in them
for the opportunity to learn those lessons. Thad Brown, sports
director of Channel 8. We probably should talk a little
bit about the Buffalo Bills. Season opens. prospects seem bright, right?
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Absolutely. The theme of this year is going to be change. Obviously,
the new head coach, Joe Brady, taking over for Sean McDermott.
A lot of questions about what he can do. He
doesn't come in with the highest of a resume to
be a new head coach, but it's a very reasonable one.
Guys like Joe Brady get head coaching jobs all the time.
(07:51):
Whether he can do the job remains to be seen.
It's not going to be a process we're going to
find out on Sunday. We're probably not going to find
out about it this year. It's going to be a
multiple-year experience. But I think for the in the weeds,
the X's and O's part of the build, it's the
new defense that is going to be the big difference.
Because Joe Brady is still going to call the offense
just like he did last year to beat Josh Allen.
(08:11):
It's largely the same group of players. The offense is
going to be really, really good. What Jim Leonard, the
new defensive coordinator, brings to the defense, and that's what
Sean McDermott did, so that's where the biggest change is happening,
is the biggest question for this team. He runs a
different style of defense. People will hear Sean McDermott ran 4-3,
Jim Leonard runs 3-4. It's not as different as black
(08:32):
and white, but there are certainly changes, guys doing different things,
different roles. How well they adapt to that, how fast
they adapt to that, will be a big part of
whether or not this Bills season is better than it
was last year. And this particular game on Sunday, I
think it's a good microcosm of that because the Houston
Texans have one of the best defenses in the NFL.
When the Bills have the ball, even though their offense
(08:54):
is fantastic, the guys on their side of the ball
are probably a little bit better. I think the way
the Bills win this game is their defense being uniquely,
or maybe not unique, but improved enough that they can
create turnovers and they can keep their offense in the
game where the offense probably shouldn't be expected to score
the normal 25, 30 points as well.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
That's a great Thad Brown there.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Your coverage of the game, how can we follow you.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
There, please, sir?
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Bill's kickoff live will be on Channel 8 at 1130,
Thad Brown 7 on every social that's ever been invented,
and then Bill's game day recap. You can watch that
on Rochester First streaming after the game, probably about 7 o'clock,
plus we've got post-game show live um on rochester first
streaming as well starting at four o'clock so i think
that covers it bob i mean we're getting to the
(09:41):
point now when you ask that question that's like more
than the rest.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Of the call so i'll stop it right now it's
it's reflection of your popularity sir uh a last question
uh tangential how's how's your college girl doing how was
the summer is everything going in a good direction at home.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Yeah doing good She's a sophomore now at Binghamton.
Speaker 7 (09:59):
Very proud.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Actually, we just got to talk with her. She's already
worried about figuring out housing for next year because of
how it works in college. But the cool thing about
a college sophomore, and I'm sure a lot of parents
have experienced this, is that you've gotten past the year
of separation and how does that work. And for us
being an empty nester, what is that like? for her
living on her own, managing, everybody's comfortable with that. So
(10:20):
now you go into a sophomore, you're kind of ready
to attack. She knows what she wants to do. She
doesn't have the pressure of, well, I've got to find
internships now, or I've got to start looking at creating jobs.
It's kind of like the freedom to explore and do
what she wants in an environment she's very comfortable in
without the impending, I've got to get a job in
X amount of months. And I've really enjoyed seeing her
(10:41):
in this spot because to see her kind of free
and unleashed, as an adult kind of sort of the
first time is, is kind of exciting because you know,
when any kid, you always grow up with the sky
being the limit, but where she's at right now in
her life, it almost feels like you can actually reach
out and touch the whole idea, but the sky's the limit.
So we're very excited for, for what she's doing. Very proud.
(11:04):
She's just such a go-getter and is in like 18
clubs and trying to dominate campus already. It's really been
fun to watch.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
That's the great Thad Brown. Always a gentleman, brother. Thank
you so much.

Sir, good morning.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Welcome to the broadcast. Is everything on? You there, Sheriff?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yes, sir.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
I can hear you.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Oh, I apologize. Welcome to the broadcast.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Your thoughts on this day?
Speaker 3 (12:35):
What should we know?
Speaker 7 (12:38):
Well, it's a very solemn reminder to me, I think,
to all of us of what happened to our nation
25 years ago. I think that, you know, Those of
us that were alive will never forget where we were.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I was the.
Speaker 7 (12:59):
Captain of the Nestor Hose Company of the Geneva Fire Department,
and I remember Chief DeBolt at the time called me
and said, if we get activated from this far north,
I'm dispatching your company, so get a crew together. And
I had no problem getting 15 people that wanted to go.
They didn't make it as far north of us, but
(13:20):
everybody wanted to go down there and do what they could.
It was, um, six months before I started at the
sheriff's office. And it's just, uh, you know, as I
said to the address and in our 285 members that
I typed up to them last night, um, today and
what happened 25 years ago, our reminder of how, um,
(13:43):
necessary our, our mission is in, in first response and
public safety, how important our relationships are with one another.
that being law enforcement, fire EMS within law enforcement, our,
our partners regionally, um, and how quickly things can change.
And we need to rely on each other, even, even
(14:05):
more than we thought. So, um, you know, based on,
on an incident that could potentially happen anywhere to any
one of us. Um, but it's really, it's, it's just, uh,
it's a weird time at 25 years because we've, We've
got a significant percentage of our workforce right at the
(14:27):
sheriff's office that weren't even alive yet when this incident happened.
But yet, as I was in my car making my
way to an event in Geneva for a remembrance ceremony
a couple hours ago, our police radio is going nonstop.
And these men and women are answering calls to go
serve strangers that they don't know. and you just never
(14:49):
know what's on the other side of those calls. But
yet they continue to step up and report and serve
with honor. And I think for me, that's the best
way for us to honor the 3,000 people that we
lost 25 years ago.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Amen.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Thank you so much, sir.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
That's Ontario County Sheriff Dave Cirincione. This is NewsRadio WHAM 1180.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
It's not just a word, it's how we play.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Detailed. Accountable. Relentless.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Making a major dental decision can feel intimidating, especially when
you don't know what to expect. Lonsbury here with Dr.
Frank Lamar from High Bridge Dental Implants. Doctor, how do
you help patients understand their options before deciding?
Speaker 8 (15:51):
Bob, our consultation process and our evaluation process starts with
what I'll call our intake. We capture photographs, 3D imaging,
intraoral scans. We feed that into our systems that take
that information and turn it into an assessment. And that's
where the consultation starts. We know everything about your anatomy.
We know everything about what your dental condition is. But
(16:12):
what we don't know is what success looks like for you.

Welcome back. 222-1180, our number. Cody, I'm glad you called.
Appreciate you holding on. Welcome to NewsRadio WHAM 1180.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Hello, Bob.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Yes, sir.
Speaker 7 (16:49):
Welcome.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Good morning.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
I'm going to try and make this as quick as
I can. I could write a whole book about it, Bob.
I was in Chicago. I'm an oversized escort, and I
was delivering a turbine to Chicago on the morning of.
And we delivered early, and we were leaving, and they
were sending everybody out of Chicago because they thought the
Sears Tower was next. But little did I know that
(17:13):
in less than 48 hours, I would be at ground zero.
We stopped at the truck stop and got filled up,
me and the other escort, and made our way home.
That's another whole story. But as soon as I got home,
I got a call from my boss that we were
supposed to go to Buffalo and pick up this machine
that was the biggest machine that was at ground zero.
(17:35):
It was tearing down the Delco building in Buffalo, and
we had a permit, and it was heavy enough, 360,000 pounds.
Speaker 7 (17:41):
They put.
Speaker 6 (17:43):
It had a 90-foot reach and could cut 24-inch steel
girders like scissors cut in paper. And along with the
permit was an order from the governor to get that
machine there now. And it was big enough that we
used to have state police. There wasn't any available, so
we had four escorts to take it down there. We
got there the next day, midday, and we had to
(18:06):
wait until 10 o'clock at night to go in. They
shut the GW down. And the NYPD checked us out first.
They had our licenses and everything. And they shut the
GW down at 10 o'clock. And it was a machine,
four escorts, and one New York City cop. And the
only thing they wanted on the bridge because of the
weight was us. We got in the ground. We got
(18:28):
to the other side of the bridge. And Port Authority
did the same thing, checked us out. And the FBI
checked us out. And we got FBI badges to wear
while we were in there. And we got in there,
we got the machine in there, and they put the
shears on another truck because it was so heavy. But
we got in there, and the guy from the Port
Authority that was kind of running the show, it was
(18:50):
so surreal, Bob. Imagine the Buffalo Bills stadium lights that
are on the stadium. Imagine those times five. That's what
was on the site. And if you look to the left,
the building that was there on the left, all the
windows were blown out, and the firemen had hung the
biggest American flag you'd ever seen before. And the excavators
(19:11):
were all going, and they had cadaver dogs there, and
they all had leather booties on so they didn't cut
their feet up. These guys were picking everything up, and
the horns would sound, and everything would stop, and it
would be silent. And they would go out there and
bag a body part, an arm, a leg, whatever, and
(19:34):
then the horns would sound and everything would start again.
And I'm trying to make this as short as possible.
I picked up a piece of the Trade Center and
put it in my pocket. We weren't supposed to pick
anything up. They said there was cameras everywhere, but the
truck went by and this piece of steel fell off
and i put it in my pocket i still have
it it's in every one of my escort vehicles and
(19:56):
across the street where the fire hall was it was
all gutted out where the fire department across the street
was and there was some of the people some of
the celebrities in there and they were making meals for
the firemen and those police officers and everybody He asked
us if we wanted to eat, and I said, no,
we already did. Just let the firemen eat. And we
were standing about 25 feet from that piece that looked
(20:18):
like a big arrowhead on TV. I was standing about
25 feet from there, and they had chicken wire set
up in front of the fire hall, so debris didn't
fly in there. And these firemen were standing there, and
they had fourth graders had made them pictures thanking them,
and they were all clipped to the chicken wire. And
this one fireman kneeled down And the little girl had
(20:41):
drawn a picture of a mother and a father and
three little kids and the father had a halo. And
he read it off and he said, it said, thank
you for being so brave and trying to save my daddy.
And I just couldn't handle it, Bob. These guys were
made of steel. These guys were the bravest guys I
ever met before. And these kids nowadays, you know, they
(21:04):
were just little kids or they weren't even born that
need to know what happened down there, Bob. They need
to know. That's all I got, Bob.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
God bless you, my dog. I appreciate it, Cody. Thanks
for the call, Cody. What a touching thing.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Though I'm still shallow enough to point out that when
he said, I'm an oversized escort, you didn't know where
that was going for a moment. Hey, honestly, you truck
drivers out there, when he said, I'm an oversized escort,
you thought, what? And you said, do they pay extra
for that? Real quick, if I could, Tonight at 9
on that downtown section third platoon program, the guest is
(21:45):
going to be Paul Dondorfer. You know he's a Monroe
County legislator. You know he's a veteran Rochester police officer.
He's a high up muckety-muck at the Locust Club. But
25 years ago, he was a young man, and he
was a New York City police officer. And he's going
to tell us what it was like from his perspective today.
on the ground in uniform that day. I hope you
(22:07):
will listen in at 9 o'clock tonight. If I could,
the great Marvin T. Adams, the poet evangelist of Rochester,
he's taking care of his dear wife. She's got a
little bit of a heart issue still going on, and
so he has sent in a poem he wrote for
September 11th. He wrote it yesterday afternoon at quarter after four,
(22:30):
and he asked me if I would read it.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Arvind T.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Adams says, Remember this day. Remember 9-11. This day we
can't forget. For many souls were lost that day. We've
not recovered yet. We will never bow to evil. We
will never bow to hate. For we are more than conquerors.
We pray you are not too late. This day we
must remember the souls we lost that day. Pray for
(22:57):
all who lost their lives and did not walk away.
This is no time to fight our own. It's time
to unite, my friend, for Jesus wants to give us peace,
but we must let him in. Oh, bless the name
of Jesus. Oh, bless his name indeed. I urge all
souls to turn to him, and he will meet our need.
(23:18):
Remember 9-11? Keep this day in mind. Behold, the Lord
is coming soon, for he is just and kind. May
the blessings of the Lord Jesus Christ touch every family
who lost someone during that difficult time, and give them
the peace that only he can give. In the mighty
name of Jesus, amen. That poem and prayer comes from, again,
(23:39):
the poet evangelist of Rochester, the great Marvin T.
