GoFundMe for family of Whitney Point student athlete
WHITNEY POINT, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – A GoFundMe has been set up in the memory of Whitney Point student-athlete, senior Mason Armagno, to help cover the costs of memorial and funeral services for the family.
The GoFundMe, set up by Armagno's cousin George Getson, has a current goal of $20,000. 'No parent should have to bury their own son, let alone pay for this awful ordeal,' Getson said in the post.
According to the post, Mason's life was lost on Tuesday, May 27. Getson said the young athlete was an 'avid football and baseball player. Mason was the oldest of 4 siblings, and was loved by many friends and family members.'
The post mentioned that services will be held at Sunset Memorial in Whitney Point on Saturday, May 31, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Getson says that any additional funds outside of service costs will be used in some capacity to remember Armagno.
If you'd like to donate to the Armagno family, you can do so at the link attached here. There is a link available to plant a tree in Mason's memory as well, which you can find here.

‘Let Her Rip' clinics empowering women through watersports
VONORE, Tenn. (WATE) — About five years ago, MasterCraft and eight-time world champion wakeboarder Meagan Ethell had a vision of empowering women through water sports. 'Let Her Rip' was the result. The clinic made a stop in East Tennessee this week, one of seven stops around the country this summer. The day brought both learning and laughs on Tellico Lake. Football & fireworks: The staples of Anderson County fall Friday nights 'I love that this Let Her Rip teaches us not only how to surf better, but the camaraderie, And to drive to boat. Because women don't always get to drive the boat, so one of my favorites parts today was learning how to drive the boat and learn the skills to really just makes us more water aware,' said participant Marcia Kish. For several years now, East Tennessee has been a stop for on the Let Her Rip tour, providing a day to grow the love and knowledge of watersports among women. 'Having a boat full of women, it just really adds confidence to the group of girls that are on the boat and it makes a huge difference when women are supporting each other and that really just helped create that confidence in and behind the boat,' Ethell said. Jake Dawson takes charge of Clinton football as one of state's youngest coaches When MasterCraft and Ethell collaborate on the idea, wakesurfing, wakeboarding, boat knowledge, water awareness were the focus, but empowering women was always the forefront.

'Garden of Love' making a comeback after city's removal
Slowly but surely the garden in front of the house on Ontario Avenue in Niagara Falls is beginning to grow again. The occupants of the house — Kenneth Johnson, Justine Burger and their three children, ages 2, 4 and 15 — are now looking forward to full bloom, the time when their flowers blossom and their raspberries, corn, green beans, zucchini, bell papers, cherry and Roma tomatoes ripen to the point where they are ready to be picked. They've added a few new touches this year. Four raised garden beds were donated by the Niagara Beautification Commission. Multi-colored lights to brighten up the space at night. A wooden 'welcome' sign, donated by a friend of Burger's grandmother. Burger said she's also working on a special touch of her own, a sign that will describe the space for what it is today — a 'Garden of Love.' It's intended as a nod to the outpouring of support Johnson and Burger's household received after city workers, acting on April 21 in response to Clean Neighborhood violations, removed all remnants of the garden they grew and tended in the front yard last year. 'We're getting there,' Burger said. 'We are.' Following media reports from multiple local news outlets, including the Niagara Gazette, hundreds of people from across the city and around the region, and even a couple from other parts of the country, reached out to offer their support. Some of those same people donated money to a GoFundMe account established to help Johnson and Burger cover the fines the city charged them for the cleanup. Thanks to their generosity, the couple managed to raise the full $2,296 to pay the bill, which they said they intend to do soon. 'The community and our neighbors have been outstanding,' Burger said. 'I'm so thankful to everybody who donated money for us and for even just the words of encouragement,' she added. 'The money isn't even that big of a deal. We're working people so we would have figured it out. But just receiving words of encouragement from people we have never met in our lives, that we cannot appreciate enough.' Mayor Robert Restaino's administration, in a nine-page press release, defended the city's actions, saying they came in response to complaints about the condition of the property and that the DPW documented multiple violations of the clean neighborhood ordinance on site. The ordinance allows the city to penalize residents and property owners for failing to address various violating conditions, which can include yard waste, overgrown grass and unregistered vehicles stored on the property. In its release, the mayor's administration said that following a review it concluded that the DPW handled the matter appropriately and within enforcement actions covered under the ordinance. The administration also insisted that, at the time of the DPW crew's visit, the couple's front yard looked more like a neglected lawn full of logs and bricks than a well-tended garden. During the cleanup, crew members removed logs, painted bricks and cinder blocks from the property, including those planted into the ground along the public right-of-way, the space between the sidewalk and the street. City officials said the items posed tripping hazards and, therefore, warranted removal. In addition, during their visit to the house, city workers removed several items from the side of the house and the backyard, including a refrigerator with a door on it that city officials said posed a potential hazard to children. Burger and Johnson are confining their new garden to the area between their front porch and the sidewalk, heeding the city's advice to keep the right-of-way free from logs, bricks and plantings. The couple said Mother Nature is proving less cooperative and sunflowers planted near the street edge are growing again. 'I honestly don't know what to do with it because everything is coming back up. There's sunflowers that are straight-growing. I can't stop that,' Johnson said. Neither Mayor Restaino nor City Council Chairman Jim Perry have contacted the couple in the weeks since their story went viral. They did receive personal visits and help in fixing up the property in front of the house from several other local political figures, including Falls Councilman Donta Myles, council candidate Noah Munoz and two candidates for Niagara County Legislature, Donte Richardson and Sean Mapp. Johnson and Burger say they're trying to get past the politics of the situation and are instead focusing on making sure their garden looks good this year. 'I'm just happy that we were able to bounce back,' Johnson said. 'That's what I'm happy about.'
