“Hidden Figures” revealed at Black History Month celebration

On Friday, February 17, Byron-Bergen students in sixth grade as well as several clubs and student organizations celebrated the accomplishments of Black individuals, both historic and contemporary, throughout the day of learning. highlights included a demonstration from special guests, pianist and composer Timothy Digba Ogunbiyi and dancer and choreographer Solange rodrigues, followed by a group presentation by high school students Dayanara caballero, Deborah catalino, Malachi Smith, roman Smith, Solomon Smith, Joshua Tardy, and Ava Wagoner.

Ogunbiyi and rodrigues collaborated on an improvised performance which conveyed the emotions of sadness, anxiety, confusion, and happiness. At the conclusion, each performer gave a brief presentation about their careers in the arts and the decisions which brought them to their current success. They also led individual break-out sessions with smaller groups of students after the performance.

Ogunbiyi is originally from Lagos, Nigeria, where he planned to become an engineer until deciding to dedicate himself to music. has studied classical and jazz piano and is currently a doctoral candidate in

piano performance at the Eastman School of Music. he kicked off the assembly in a combined performance with the Byron-Bergen Jazz Ensemble and discussed improvisation during his break-out session.

rodrigues is from the town of Greece. She began dancing at the age of three and completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts in dance with a concentration in choreography from S UNY p urchase in 2020. She currently teaches dance and fitness classes in the r o chester area, is a member of several performing dance troupes, and is moving to Brooklyn to join the pocket Fuel Groovers, a dance company founded by her brother.

“I want to thank Mrs. Alyson Tardy for coordinating this excellent presentation for our students,” said Byron-Bergen Jr./Sr. high School principal Ashley John Grillo. “It was an absolute treat to have such highly trained professionals share their music and dance experiences with our students.”

Sixth grade teacher Alyson Mercedes Tardy also hosted the high school students’ presentation in her classroom. The students discussed segregation, representation, and introduced the movie Hidden Figures. They talked about historic and contemporary Black individuals who many of the younger students had not heard of or could not recognize – important figures in history and culture who are, in a way, hidden. Some of the featured individuals, such as Martin Luther King, Jr. and rosa parks, the students knew right away. Others the younger students could not identify such as Mae c Jemison, the first Black woman to travel in space; civil rights activist claudette colvin; and Emmy, Golden Globe, and Tony Awardwinning actor James Earl Jones. Students even struggled to identify basketball legend Michael Jordan. While learning about these and other important Black individuals, they were given the opportunity to consider who each is and why they may be less well known than other individuals.

After a discussion of these hidden figures, the day ended with a screening of the 2016 award-winning feature film Hidden Figures. It is the real-life story of a female team of Black mathematicians who served a vital role in NASA during the early years of the U.S. space program. Despite their impor-

tant contributions, they remained widely unknown for decades.

As the day ended, the participating students had experienced jazz, musical improvisation, dance improvisation, learned about important Black individuals and historic

events, and been given the opportunity to consider the importance of representation in history and contemporary culture.

“It was a great day at B-B celebrating Black history Month,” said Grillo. provided information

Big Brothers Big Sisters gala to welcome golfer Shaun Micheel as special guest

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater rochester is holding its fourth annual fundraising gala, The Big Night Out, on March 25 at Oak hill country club. 2003 pGA championship winner Shaun Micheel will be the gala guest of honor. Micheel will be returning to rochester for the first time since May 2019 when he was at Oak hill country club for the KitchenAid Senior pGA championship. Being a pGA TOUr member for 25 years has allowed Micheel to support countless charitable organizations, with Big Brothers Big Sisters holding a special place in his heart. Micheel’s involvement with these organizations has given him an education and immeasurable sense of community. As

a teenager, Micheel spent a lot of time with his father and a group of his friends and their sons at their hunting property in West Tennessee. A member of the group, Bruce, was a Big and frequently brought his Little, Don, to spend weekends hunting, riding ATVs and enjoying the outdoors. Their deep connection and treasured relationship left an indelible mark on Micheel.

“After seeing their relationship over several months, they might as well have been father and son because that was how they interacted,” said Micheel. “After nearly 40 years, Bruce and Don are still in contact which is a testament to the impact of Big Brothers Big Sisters on both of their lives. As

I learn more about Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater rochester, I’m fascinated with how each Big is thoughtfully paired with their Little and I’m eager to see the real-life relationships that have been built through their mission.”

“We were thrilled to hear that Shaun has seen the great work of Big Brothers Big Sisters firsthand and that he is a supporter of our mission and organization,” chief Executive Officer Lisa Mattoon said. “Throughout his years as a professional golfer, Shaun has tirelessly given back to the community – especially organizations that impact the lives of children – and we are honored to have him attend our fundraising gala in support of Big

Brothers Big Sisters of Greater rochester.”

Funds raised at the gala will support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater rochester and its youth mentoring programs, helping youth reach their full potential by building and supporting one-to-one relationships to ignite the biggest possible future. The nonprofit’s evidence-based approach is designed to create positive outcomes, including educational success, avoidance of risky behaviors, higher aspirations, greater confidence and improved relationships.

School breaks ground on major expansion and renovation project

Hope Hall School broke ground last month on a major expansion and renovation of its building, part of which is over 80 years old. The project will double the size of the school’s Woodworking Center and Music Room, add an Inventory Management Center, create a brand new Science Lab, more than doubling the current lab, create a new Social Emotional Learning Classroom, and fund other critical repairs and renovations.

The groundbreaking ceremony included several lead donors, along with representatives from the Town of Gates and the project’s architectural firm and general contractor.

Everyone sported hard hats and wielded gold shovels to raise an inaugural shovel full of dirt, marking the launch of this transformational project. Now in its final year, this four-year, $18 million comprehensive campaign has raised more than $14.9 million. There is currently an anonymous $300,000 matching gift in place, made by the family of a former Board of Trustees member, to help the school continue its fundraising momentum.

Hope Hall is working with the Rochester-based architectural firm of Passero Associates, and has Taylor The builders, located in East Rochester, as its general contractor for all facets of the construction.

Hope Hall wishes to thank key donors, Mark and Maureen Davitt, Robert F. and Mary P. Hastings Foundation, the Karpus Family Foundation, and Florence M. Muller Foundation, along with hundreds of others, for their generosity in supporting the vision of the Hope for Tomorrow Campaign in transforming Hope Hall School, in order to provide augmented services and enhanced programming, including scholarships and financial aid, as well as unique programs tailored to the needs of its students.

What have bugs been doing all winter?

by Kristina Gabalski

You don’t see them, but bugs are not far away during the winter months. In fact, most insects show remarkable resiliency during the cold, snow and ice of winter. Insects have several ways of coping and surviving until they can re-emerge when spring is here.

According to Purdue University, insects and spiders do not maintain constant internal temperatures like humans, which gives them challenges for surviving the cold. Insects migrate to warmer places, sneak into houses and buildings, hide under tree bark or in the ground or deep water, or use compounds in their blood as an “anti-freeze” to keep them from freezing to death during winter.

Monarch butterflies travel as far as 3,000 miles in one direction to reach warmer climes in Mexico before they fly back to the U.S. in the spring. Purdue says that black cutworms, which attack soybeans, gardens and golf courses, also migrate as mature moths. In the spring, it takes them only two days to travel from Texas back to Minnesota.

It is more common, though, for moths and butterflies to stay where it is cold and tough out the winter in various life stages. Luna moths survive in pupa form, building their cocoons in the shelter of leaf litter, and emerging in the spring. Imperial moths burrow underground as caterpillars and spend the cold months as pupae, returning above ground in the spring. Mourning cloak butterflies have an internal compound that acts as antifreeze. They survive the winter in adult form under rocks or in tree bark crevices.

Wooly bear caterpillars, which we often see in the late fall, become Isabell tiger moths. They can actually freeze and thaw several times without suffering harm while tucked in nooks and crannies all winter.

Ants don’t hibernate, Purdue says, but they do bulk-up, eating all they can in the fall. They then burrow into the ground where they huddle together

They produce an anti-freeze like compound that helps them survive frigid temps. When temps warm in the spring, they lay worker eggs and start the life cycle again. Their fuzz also helps them stay warm during the early spring and they shake to warm up their flight muscles in the cold.

In winter, the eggs, nymphs and larva of mosquitoes, dragonflies and mayflies are found in ponds and lakes where they wait out the frigid season in the water, which maintains a fairly stable temperature down the water column. Many are able to tolerate very frigid conditions and will not freeze until temperatures drop well below 0° F.

Ticks do go dormant in winter and rest in leaf litter and other debris. However, Purdue points out that ticks easily become active if temperatures rise above freezing. If you enjoy a walk in the woods on a mild winter day, check for ticks when you return home.

Insects such as spiders, cluster flies, ladybugs and stink bugs seek out warmth on the sunny side of houses as temps fall in autumn. This allows them to find small cracks, allowing them inside. Sealing up vulnerable spots on your home exterior can help keep these bugs out. Once inside, Purdue explains that many of these insects do enter a period of suspended development called diapause where they wait for warming temperatures to re-start normal activity.

The New York State DEC says that many insect pests and diseases are able to survive winter. Emerald ash borer spends the winter in the sapwood of ash trees where the outer bark acts as insulation. The larvae supercool themselves – their body fluids able to go below their normal freezing point without freezing. Spongy moths survive the winter as eggs covered with a fuzzy silk. They, too, have anti-freeze proteins that prevent internal liquids from freezing. Fungi that cause diseases like oak wilt also go dormant during the winter and resume growth when temperatures warm in the spring.

Tops helping JDRF find a cure for type 1 diabetes

Tops Friendly Markets is once again partnering with JDRF as they embark on their 53rd year to find a cure for type 1 diabetes (T1D). The campaign begins Sunday, March 5, and runs through Saturday, March 25. This year marks the 30th year Tops has helped run the JDRF campaign at its stores. The goal is to raise money to help fund research to help find a cure for T1D. The paper sneaker, which was designed by a Tops associate back in 1993 and is now widely used nationally as well as internationally in JDRF fundraising campaigns, will be sold at Tops registers for a $1 donation. Now more than ever the onset of T1D can happen suddenly, impacting people of any age, affecting them every moment of every day, and it lasts a lifetime. More than 1.45 million

Americans have T1D and about 2.1 million people are expected to have the disease by 2040.

Since 1993 Tops has raised over $14 million for the cause with Tops fundraising efforts putting the company in the top fundraisers across national corporate partners.

“Over the past three decades in working closely with our partners at JDRF we have seen first-hand the important role this organization plays in nearly every major advancement for diabetes. Whether it be in the form of drug, device, or cell therapy, or advancements like artificial pancreas systems, JDRF is the leading nonprofit fighting to find cures for T1D and improve the lives of those living with the disease today,” said John Persons, president of Tops Friendly Markets.

Author and lawyer to speak on the Right to Bear Arms

Orleans County Second Amendment rights group S.C.O.P.E. is hosting James Ostrowski, an author and Second Amendment lawyer, to speak at its next meeting. The event will be held on March 14, 7 p.m., at the Hoag Library, 134 South Main Street, Albion. It is free and open to the public.

Ostrowski has successfully represented gun owners in many cases in courts throughout the state. His seventh book, The Second Amendment Works, is the first of its kind primer on the Second Amendment

that explains what he believes is its true purpose – to deter government tyranny and guarantee a republican form of government. Having clarified its actual purpose, Ostrowski then presents empirical evidence to demonstrate that the right to bear arms does work.

Copies of The Second Amendment Works and several of Ostrowski’s other books will be available for purchase at the event.

Byron-Bergen senior qualifies for Poetry Out Loud state competition

On February 15, Byron-Bergen senior Libby Piper and sophomore Jade Wolff participated in the 2023 Poetry Out Loud Semifinal Competition held at Buffalo State University. The event was co-hosted by the Western New York Writing Project. Piper and Wolff had previously advanced to this round after winning the Byron-Bergen School-Level competition. During the event, they competed against students from around the Western New York area, including schools such as Brighton High School, the Westfield Academy, and Jamestown High School.

During the first two rounds of competition, the students were required to recite two poems: one poem needed to be 25 lines or fewer and the other must have been written before the 20th Century. Piper recited William E. Stafford’s “Traveling Through the Dark” and Ella Wheeler Wilcox’s “Friendship After Love” while Wolff recited Carl Sandburg’s “I am the People, the Mob” and Edgar Allen Poe’s “To Helen.” The students were evaluated on categories such as physi-

appropriateness, and accuracy.

After the first two rounds, three students were selected to advance to the third round and recite a final poetry selection. Piper was selected and recited Jeffrey Skinner’s “The Bookshelf of the God of Infinite Space.” After the final scores were tabulated, Piper was named the Western New York champion.

With this award, Piper has earned the right to move on as one of only 20 students from the state of New York and compete in the Poetry Out Loud New York State Finals to be held at the Center for Fiction in Brooklyn on March 11. The winner of this competition will advance to the 2023 Poetry Out Loud National Finals to be held May 8 through 10 in Washington, D.C.

Pancakes and syrup coming to Letchworth State Park’s sugarhouse

Letchworth State Park’s nature center and sugarhouse will be center stage for the annual Maple Weekends sugaring festival and pancake breakfasts in late March.

The last two weekends in March will be Maple Weekends statewide. Festivities at Letchworth are on March 18, March 19, March 25, and March 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Humphrey Nature Center.

Volunteers with the Friends of Letchworth State Park preservation nonprofit will serve pancakes, butter, sausage, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, orange juice, milk, and, of course, maple syrup.

All educational activities are free. Pancake breakfast tickets will be $8, kids under age five eat free. Tickets will be available at the door and online, with

Buffalo footBall @ HIGHMaRK StaDIuM

proceeds to benefit Friends of Letchworth State Park projects. Follow Letchworth State Park on Facebook and Instagram (@letchworthstatepark) for announcements when breakfast tickets go on sale online.

There will be four interactive educational stations for visitors to participate in syrup making: sap collecting, traditional stone boiling, evaporator boiling in the sugarhouse, and syrup grading/tasting.

Letchworth State Park produces maple syrup mostly for educational purposes. While some of the park’s syrup will be for sale at the nature center, the syrup served with the pancake breakfasts is donated by local maple producers for Maple Weekends.

Maple syrup production is one of the region’s claims to fame. According to the USDA Ag Census, Wyoming County produced 91,765 gallons of maple syrup in 2017. That is enough syrup to fill 30 concrete mixer trucks, and over 17,000 gallons more than the next-highest maple producing county that year. Wyoming County includes the southwestern part of Letchworth State Park in the mid-point of the Genesee River’s roughly 160-mile valley from northwestern Pennsylvania to Lake Ontario.

The park can temporarily close some roads due to winter weather conditions. All Maple Weekends attendees should plan to use the Castile entrance to the park, 6787 Denton Corners Road, Castile, which is open year-round. Once inside the park, follow signs for the Humphrey Nature Center, about one mile south on Park Road from the Castile entrance. As usual, there will be no vehicle use fees until later in the spring.

The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation oversees more than 250 individual parks, historic sites, recreational trails, and boat launches, which were visited by a record 78 million people in 2020. For more information on any of these recreation areas, call 518-474-0456 or visit parks.ny.gov. Provided information and photo

Visitors can learn about all stages of syrup production, starting with sap collection.

For our grandchildren’s grandchildren – the role of historians

by Virginia Parker Village of Spencerport Historian

Who are your Historians?

New York has employed a State Historian since 1895. Today our 16th State Historian is Devin Lander. You can listen to him on “A New York Minute” podcast. You also have local government historians. Carolyn Vacca, Professor of History at Saint John Fisher Collage, is the Monroe County Historian. The City of Rochester Historian is Christine Ridarsky of the Local History and Genealogy Division at the Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County. The Town of Ogden Historian is Jesse Diehl. He is a lifelong resident of Ogden and worked with the Town Historian Emeritus, Carol Coburn, for several years before her retirement. Supervisor Zale appointed him as Town Historian in January 2022.

And for the Village of Spencerport, let me introduce myself. My name is Virginia Parker. My parents moved us here in 1960. We lived in an EJ Parker built home up on what had been known as the Million Dollar Highway (Route 31). I have a strong background in Genealogy and have been a Jill of all trades with the Ogden Historical Society for the past nine years. Mayor Penders and the Board of Trustees appointed me to fill the vacant Village of Spencerport Historian Office in September 2021.

What does a Historian do?

NYS Historians are required to submit an annual report to the Education Department addressing their activities or involvement in exhibits or events, projects or preservation, and tourism. Many write for publication, are involved in educational programs, or make public presentations. Behind everything a historian does is research.

As an officer of the Village, my responsibility is to be open and fair to everyone. I am here to protect the heritage of our community. To date, I’ve been organizing, categorizing, and arranging the historical contents of the Village Archives, making it easier to share our history.

You might ask, “How do historians know which of today’s activities are going to be historically significant? What do we save? What do we document?” I guess the simple answer is everything, because the whole is the sum of its parts. That’s not a practical approach, but how else can we tell the story without prejudice or bias?

I think that a historian, to the best of their ability and resources, should acquire historical knowledge, protect those artifacts and documents left behind, share their knowledge, and continue learning from history. History should be documented, not just the celebrated or notorious, but everyone.

If NY has engaged a State Historian since 1895, why add Local Government Historians?

In the aftermath of WWI, our world was shattered; nothing was the same and there was Pandemic Influenza. Each community had its own unique people and their stories to remember. One person alone couldn’t record or care for it all. Today, nearly half of the 50 states in America employ local government historians. New York led the way. On April 19, 1919, NY Governor Alfred E. Smith signed Arts & Cultural Affairs § 57.07 creating the “Historians Law.” It was the first law of its kind, charging every County, Town, City, and Village in New York with the responsibility of gathering and preserving its own irreplaceable historical records.

Where can I find my Historian?

Jesse Diehl, Town of Ogden Historian, can be found at the Little Red Schoolhouse in Adams Basin. You can email him at Historian@ ogdenny.com or call 585-6176124 with questions.

I spend Monday mornings at the Village Office at 27 West Avenue. My email is Historian@vil.spencerport. ny.us.

Why do we need a Historian?

I study history to know the past, engage in the present, and impact the future. History is important. Rice University, in Texas, defines the study of history as “to describe human interaction in context, NOT necessarily to justify, but to understand human actions.” Howard University, in our nation’s capital, describes history as a tool for critical thinking and learning. The University of Rochester echoes that sentiment. They teach history to cultivate essential skills in writing, research, and analytical thinking that will serve graduates in wide ranging careers.

I believe history is the retelling of what was once well known. It’s the study of the human past as it is described in the written documents and in the common artifacts left behind; using logical thinking to seek answers to all the “W” questions. It takes extensive research, good listening skills, and an inquisitive mind to bring the story to light. Then, not only ask “How?” but “What else was going on in the world?” and drop Spencerport into history. To quote one of my favorite podcasts, “Historians should speak for everyone who played a part. In the end you have a well-rounded, accurate, and unbiased, account of your community and its people.”

Knowledge of the past creates a sense of belonging and, most times, pride. History is a never-ending process; the present will one day become the past. We have the opportunity, if we choose, to build a future based on accomplishments.

How does the Historian do their job?

First and foremost, historical knowledge and artifacts are to be organized, preserved, and protected for the future – our grandchildren’s grandchildren.

Solid, fact-based research is the foundation of any history-based story telling. Using today’s databases of old newspapers allowed me to correct the date on the photo of the dedication of Spencerport’s GAR Memorial in Fairfield Cemetery. The family immortalized in the Victorian Mourning Wreaths at the Ogden Historical Society have been identified as Mayflower descendants and have a family connection to the Phelps & Gorham Purchase. How many other Spencerport founding families are Mayflower descendants? A small cast iron toy ice truck tells the story of Harry Noble and his pond. He sold ice in Spencerport before household refrigeration was common and later provided a popular outdoor skating venue for the community.

You never know what you will find. I’ve recently discovered that during the American Revolution, part of my father’s family were Loyalists. What a

double-edged sword. I guess out of the 64 paternal fifth great grandparents each of us have, it was bound to happen. You don’t always get nuts when you shake the family tree.

In Summary

The past WILL fade. Today, volunteers are few or aging out. Remember the Spencerport Ambulance, Lions Club or Christmas on the Canal? People visit museums virtually. All communities are experiencing similar circumstances. I do this to leave a legacy for our grandchildren and their grandchildren.

Coming up in 2026, the nation will commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The Town Historian, Jesse Diehl, and I are thinking about ways for Ogden / Spencerport to commemorate the 2026 Semi Quincentennial.

April 2023 is the 125th anniversary of the little remembered Spanish American War. I plan to remind the community of Spencerport’s part in this chapter of our national history.

Currently, I’m working on the history of the buildings in the Village. I’d love to hear your stories of Spencerport’s history over a cup of coffee. Email me at Historian@vil.spencerport.ny.us.

269 Ogden Center Rd., Spencerport, NY 14559 by Friday. Email: supervisor@ogdenny.com. For more information call: 585-617-6128.

Churchville-Chili falls in Section V Class B title game

by Warren Kozireski

During the regular season, Churchville-Chili scored ten goals over two games against WebsterSchroeder. But that’s why they play the games.

In a rematch for the Section V Class B championship and the Saints second trip to the championship game in three years, the Warriors clogged up the center ice area and came away with a 2-1 victory and the championship.

After a scoreless first period, Schroeder took a 1-0 lead at 5:25 of the second as defenseman Nolan Roughsedge assisted on Jason Simons tally. Later in the second, the Warriors got an insurance goal from Simons.

Brockport swimmers win Section V Class B title

Churchville-Chili hit the post late in the period and Luke Herring set up Gavin Carr for a one-timer at the period buzzer, but entered the third down by two.

The Saints got a power play with 4:40 remaining in regulation, but could not convert. They then pulled their goaltender for the extra-attacker with two minutes left and finally got on the board as Tyler Eberhart fed Jesse Prue in the slot with 38 seconds left, but could not get the equalizer.

Churchville-Chili outshot the Warriors 46-33 in the game.

“It’s tough; we took 46 shots and couldn’t get anything past the goaltender until the end and too little, too late at that point,” Saints head coach Brian Young said. “Every time we tried to drive the middle or clear pucks through the middle, they were there.

“They played so well defensively; their defensive zone coverage on us (meant) we never had more than one second with the puck and it’s just hard to generate offense when that’s going on.”

The Saints had a stellar 16-3-1 regular season, winning the division crown for the first time in ten years and were the top seed in Class B. Several players set program records including Max McKay becoming just the second Saints player with 100 career points and tying his own record for assists in one season with 30, Parker Farnham setting new marks for goals in one season (28) and winning the Section V scoring crown.

Forwards Tyler Eberhart, McKay and Farnham with defensemen Trey Eberhart and Gavin Carr were named All Star First Team Selections for Division 2 and Young was named Coach of the Year.

“There is a lot to be proud of this season,” Young said. “It didn’t end the way we wanted it to in the last game, but we have so many kids that broke school records and had individual point tallies that are just off the charts and they accomplished so many great things this year.

“As a group I’ve never seen them be so tight and do the things we did together. We all took a limo bus to watch the JV win the championship yesterday and it’s a big part of the program making sure everyone is involved.

“They commit to volunteer work off ice and team dinners and it would have been nice to see them rewarded for all that in the game today.”

Judge named overall 2022 Hickok Belt® Award Winner

The Brockport High School 200 yard freestyle relay team won the sectional title at the Section V Class B Swimming Championships on February 10 in Webster. The team of Gavin Stuhler (senior), Brad Kleehammer (senior), Jason Kleehammer (junior) and Alex Stoker (senior) placed first in the sectional championships with a winning time of 1:28.67, also a team best for the season. Their time has the group ranked as one of the top relay teams in the state, and qualifies them to compete in the NYS Swimming Championships in March. In addition Stuhler will be competing at the NYS Championships in both the 50 yard and 100 yard freestyle individual events. Provided information and photo.

Aaron Judge, professional baseball outfielder for the New York Yankees, has been named the Hickok Belt® Award overall winner for 2022. Voting was conducted by a select panel of members of the National Sports Media Association (NSMA). The voters selected Aaron Judge when he made history on September 28, 2022, tying Roger Maris for the American League single season record with 61 home runs, a record set by Maris 61 years before. Then, on October 4, 2022, the 30-year-old smashed home run number 62, a new American League record seven decades in the making. He surpassed Maris for the most home runs in American League history in a single season.

Other finalists for the overall award included each of the 2022 Hickok Belt® Award monthly winners, who finished in the following order, based

on the NSMA voting: Lionel Messi (soccer), Steph Curry (basketball), Cooper Kupp (football), Novak Djokovic (tennis), Giannis Antetokounmpo (basketball) and Luka Doncic (basketball) – tie, Bryce Harper (baseball), Rory McIlroy (golf), and Scottie Scheffler (golf).

“I would like to congratulate Aaron Judge on an amazing year in which he delivered the performance of a lifetime,” said Tony Liccione of the Hickok Belt® team. “His historic record-breaking home runs were one of the greatest moments in professional sports history, and recognizes him as the ‘best of the best’ across all sports.”

Annual National Historic Marker Day welcomes volunteers on April 28

Volunteers across the U.S. can give back to their communities by participating in the third annual National Historic Marker Day on Friday, April 28.

National Historic Marker Day is a serviceoriented event that encourages residents to help beautify their communities by cleaning historic markers and to learn about local history. Held each year on the last Friday of April, this fun and family-friendly celebration is open to everyone. In 2021, the William G. Pomeroy Foundation, a philanthropic organization based in Syracuse, established National Historic Marker Day as a way for communities to celebrate, preserve and learn about history.

“Historic markers have an important role in communities such as educating the public, encouraging pride of place and promoting local tourism,” said Deryn Pomeroy, Director of Strategic Initiatives at the Pomeroy Foundation.

“But without the proper care and maintenance, markers will begin to deteriorate. National Historic Marker Day is an excellent opportunity to help keep markers in good condition so they can be enjoyed now and by future generations.”

Interested volunteers can learn more about the event and access free resources by going to the official National Historic Marker Day webpage on the Pomeroy Foundation website, wgpfoundation.org. The webpage offers a download-

able volunteer kit that includes a step-by-step guide to cleaning markers, information about how to plan your service project, lesson plans and kid-friendly activities for students, and tips for publicizing your volunteer efforts.

Participants can register to volunteer on the National Historic Marker Day webpage. Individuals and groups that officially register will have the opportunity to receive branded stickers, a cleaning cloth and cleaning brush while supplies last. Registered volunteers will be eligible for service awards following National Historic Marker Day. Complete details are available at https://www.wgpfoundation. org/national-historic-marker-day/.

People engage with markers everywhere, from neighborhoods and parks to country roads and historic sites. According to The Historical Marker Database (HMdb.org), there are more than 174,000 markers in the U.S. To locate markers in your area, go to HMdb.org or the Pomeroy Foundation’s marker map at https://www.wgpfoundation.org/ history/map/. Volunteers should comply with their local safety and parking regulations, as well as seek permission when planning their marker cleaning project. Provided information

Part of the Emerging Civil War Series, published by Savas Beatie, the book is a biography of one of the Civil War’s more controversial generals.

According to Maxfield, his second book is special for its collaboration with his GCC colleagues. “You know, while I am proud of the biography,” Maxfield said, “I am especially proud of the contributions from my friends at GCC who wrote great essays for the appendix. Their work added to the quality of the book immeasurably.”

Man of Fire features appendices penned by GCC Associate Professor of English Tracy Ford, Associate Professor of English Michael Gosselin, and Student Success Coach Jess Maxfield. Books that are part of the Emerging Civil War Series feature appendices following the main text that cover topics from the book in more depth.

“Each of these appendices explores a facet of Sherman’s career that sheds extra light on the main story Derek tells,” said series editor Dr. Chris Mackowski. “The books in the series are all story-driven, so there’s a real emphasis on narrative. Rather than disrupt Derek’s narrative flow, we parsed out some of these topics as appendices so we could really explore them. That makes the appendices added value for the reader.”

Mackowski said the appendices are also important as a way for Emerging Civil War to cultivate “emerging voices” in the field. “The appendices give those new writers the chance to earn publication experience,” he explained. “Being coupled with other ‘emerging voices,’ along with the moreestablished author of the book, allows each writer to benefit from success of the entire group. The rising tide lifts all boats.”

Man of Fire: William Tecumseh Sherman in the Civil War tells the story of a man who found himself in war – and that, in turn, secured him a place in history. Condemned for his barbarity or hailed for his heroics, the life of this peculiar general is nonetheless compelling – and thoroughly American.

Forging an identity in the fire of war, the unconventional general

kindled a friendship with Ulysses S. Grant and proved to everyone at Shiloh, Vicksburg, Chattanooga, Georgia, and in the Carolinas that while he was unorthodox, he was also brilliant and creative. More than that, he was eminently successful and played an important role in the Union’s victory.

Since joining Genesee Community College in 2009, Derek Maxfield has built a reputation as a storyteller, author, playwright, director and awardwinning teacher. Twice awarded SUNY’s highest system-level honor, Maxfield was recognized in 2013 with the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Scholarship and Creative Activities and in 2019 the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching. He has written, directed, and performed in a number of plays which have toured the country – including Now We Stand by Each Other Always in which he portrayed General Ulysses S. Grant. More recently, Maxfield was commissioned by the Landmark Society of Genesee County to produce a play highlighting the Brisbane family of Batavia.

In celebration of the release of his book, Maxfield is hosting a book launch party on Friday, March 17, from 6 to 9 p.m. at GoArt!, located at 201 East Main Street in Downtown Batavia. The event is free and open to all. Copies of Man of Fire will be available for sale and signing.
