Veteran Larry Vaughan: A life of serving country and community

by Tami Raco On Veteran’s Day, we are reminded to show our gratitude to those brave men and women who served our country through military service. We are even more grateful and indebted to those who not only served our nation but returned home to serve our community.

Larry Vaughan grew up in the Brockport community, graduating from Brockport High School in 1967. Larry Vaughan during basic trainHe attended MCC to study ing in July 1969.

Fire Science during the time the Vietnam War was cranking up and young men were being drafted. While in college, Larry’s draft card was a 4F, which prevented him from being drafted. That status changed after he finished college. Vaughan was working at Atlantic Pacific in Brockport and volunteering at the Brockport Fire Department in May of 1969 when he received his draft notice and order to report. “Things got real,” said Vaughan.

On July 13, 1969, Larry said goodbye to his parents as he boarded a bus to the draft station in Buffalo. After being processed, Vaughan was sent to Fort Dix in New Jersey for basic training in the US Army. He was assigned as a rifleman to an infantry unit. “I was a hunter and good with guns,” commented Vaughan.

After basic training and Advanced Individual Training at Ft. Lewis in Washington, Vaughan received his orders that he was being deployed to the war zone of Vietnam. He was able to come home for two weeks in December to see his family before deploying. “It was tough being home and seeing everyone. I was gone for six months already, and things changed,” recalls Vaughan.

Vaughan returned to Ft. Lewis to process for this deployment. He received inoculations, uniforms, and jungle fatigues and prepared his will before being sent to war-torn Vietnam.

Vaughan recalls how hot, humid, and black the nights were in Vietnam. “All night long, we would hear air raid sirens, and I said to myself, ‘This is real.’”

Vaughan was assigned to the 196th Infantry Brigade. Surrounded by strangers, he lived in the bush, assigned the job of looking for and preventing the opposition from infiltrating South Vietnam. “They were tough enemies,” he said. Most of Vaughan’s movements were at night. They would push

through the jungle terrain in the valleys, looking for potential ambush sites. The conditions were harsh. “The elephant grass would cut our skin and lead to infections. Our socks were wet all the time, and we would take one bath a week in a stream,” he described.

After surviving 11 months and three days in the jungle warfare of Vietnam, his deployment was over. He returned to Ft. Lewis and then came home for a 30-day leave.

After his leave, he returned to Ft. Hood in Texas to finish his two-year commitment. “We played war games,” chuckled Vaughan when asked what he did in the remainder of his enlistment back in the States.

Larry returned home to Brockport in 1971 and resumed his role in the Brockport Fire Department. He also took a new job working in the village of Brockport as an emergency dispatcher. In July of 1971, Larry met his wife, Barbara (Unger). “I knew her brother, and we met at a firemen’s event. I did not think it was going to work because we had a big gap in ages,” he laughed. They married in September 1972 and had their daughter, Kim, in 1973.

Upon his return to civilian life, Vaughan continued serving but in the capacity of directly serving his community. He has held numerous emergency service positions throughout his lifetime. He has served as lieutenant, captain, assistant chief, deputy chief, fire chief, ambulance lieutenant, warden, hose company president, apparatus driver, EMT, fire commissioner, and more. Vaughan served at both the Brockport and Ridge Road fire districts. “The military experience helped me to better understand authority and how to follow orders,” said Vaughan. In addition to his career in firefighting, he was continually active in committees and fire service associations, as well as fallen firefighter fundraisers and community groups.

In 1992, Vaughan was undergoing a routine physical for the Ridge Road Fire District. The physician noticed that his liver enzymes were elevated. Larry’s physician, Dr. Hari Garg, referred him to a specialist in Gastroenterology and Hepatology, and he eventually ended up at Strong Memorial Hospital. Here, Vaughan met a doctor who was investigating the impact of Agent Orange on Vietnam veterans.

Agent Orange was a tactical herbicide used by the US military during the Vietnam War to kill and control vegetation. It got its name from the orange stripe painted on the storage containers. During the Vietnam War, the government commissioned chemical companies to manufacture Agent Orange. It was eventually banned in the early 1970s when it was discovered that the chemical (dioxin) was carcinogenic.

More than 100,000 US Military Vietnam veterans have been impacted by this carcinogen. It was sprayed from the planes in the jungles of Vietnam to function as a defoliant. Larry recalls, “Planes would spray it to open up the jungle near our firebase to kill vegetation. In two days after spraying, it would look like fall. Everything was drenched in that chemical.”

After many tests, scans, and evaluations, Vaughan was told he would need a liver transplant someday. For several years, he was monitored closely with routine ultrasounds every four months, and his condition continued to deteriorate.

In February 2018, a tumor in his liver was discovered. His illness was progressing rapidly. “Everyone thought I was dying,” said Larry. He was assigned to a liver transplant group the following month and began radiation treatment.

Fluid retention became a big issue, leading to regular trips to the hospital.

As he waited, hoping for a life-saving liver transplant, the decision was made to move up the date of his Honor Flight trip. The clock was ticking on Larry’s life, and finding a match for a liver transplant was becoming dire.

In June 2018, 69-year-old Vaughan was part of mission #60 Honor Flight Rochester. “As sick as I was, this was the most awesome 36 hours of my life,” he said. “My welcome home was so special! The airport was flooded.”

He arrived at the hospital that afternoon, and at 11 p.m., he was notified of the news that he would be getting a liver transplant that night. Ten hours of surgery later, Vaughan had a new liver, and the transplant was a success.

“Most of us only get one chance, and, for some reason, I got a second.” Vaughan has not met the family of the person who donated their liver to him but hopes someday he can.

Larry developed life-long attributes from his military training and experience. “Vietnam gave me grit and toughness I would not have gotten any other way. The Army made me better in so many ways.”

Vaughan, now 74 years young, is retired but remains active in various community and firefighting organizations. He and his wife reside in Brockport, and his daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren live in North Carolina.

Comments Hamlin Voters – Be Informed A flyer has been mailed out in Hamlin regarding the Justice race. It states: “Hamlin Republicans are running two Judges this year. By law, they should only run one Judge at a time.”

This would imply that Hamlin is doing something against the law. This is false and misleading. Hamlin is running two Judges because they are required to by law. The term for the judges is four years and typically one runs every two years. However, when there is a vacancy, the position must be put on the ballot for the four year term and not a partial term.

Hamlin had a vacancy when a prior judge left the bench for medical reasons. That is the reason why there are two judges on Hamlin’s ballot. It is because of the law and not against the law.

Congratulations to Rick Wright on being appointed to the Hamlin Town Board. Rick did his best to keep the committee going and deserves to be on the Board. Hopefully he will represent the residents well!!

No reflection on Rick, but the Republican Committee endorsed Angel Male in the last election two years ago. She lasted two years and the last six months were non-exisistent.

Hopefully the town leader Kathi Rickman will get better at choosing candidates that will really help the Town and not her own agenda!!

The Department of Civil Service has launched Phase 2 of the Hiring for Emergency Limited Placement (HELP) Program, a program which temporarily waives the civil service exam requirement for select critical health and human services titles across state agencies.

The HELP Program, which first launched in April 2023 with nearly 100 job titles, was developed to help address the statewide workforce shortage in critical health and safety titles across state government. Phase 2 expands the program to include 40 additional titles that support and engage in related healthcare and human service functions.

To be eligible for jobs in the HELP program, candidates must meet the jobs’ minimum qualifications and any other conditions of employment. Examples of some of the most populous titles included in the program are Direct Support Assistant, Licensed Practical Nurse, Registered Nurse Licensed Master Social Worker, Mental Health Therapy Aide and Psychologist.

Candidates can view hundreds of current job openings across New York State and apply directly to these jobs at https://www.cs.ny.gov/help/. Candidates from diverse backgrounds and traditionally marginalized communities are encouraged to apply.

Spencerport, Someplace Special!

Spencerport Stars and Stripes program Spencerport Stars and Stripes is a new program being introduced by Spencerport Rotary Club. Just ahead of four patriotic holidays – Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, and Veterans Day – volunteers will place a three by five-foot United States flag on an eight-foot wooden pole in the yard of a home or business. They will remove it a few days later.

The Rotary recommends this service as a gift for someone who “has everything” or who does not wish to maintain a flag on their property full-time.

All products are of the highest quality and made in the USA.

The club’s goal is to place 50 flags each holiday and they look forward to seeing dozens of U.S. flags flying all over Spencerport.

One must reside within the Spencerport Central School district to subscribe. Subscriptions are $75 per year and can be purchased online at www.SpencerportStarsandStripes.org.

The proceeds from the flag program enable the Spencerport Rotary to fund a variety of health, humanitarian, and youth service programs throughout the local community and the broader world.

Those with questions may contact Colleen Farley at 489-0333 or colleen1031@yahoo.com.

Genesee County 4-H members Bing Zuber, Justin Deleo, and Kylie Paddock attended the New York State 4-H Agri-Business Career Conference (ABC Trip). Forty youth from across the state met in Cobleskill October 19 and 20 for the 46th annual 4-H ABC Trip. This trip for 4-H teens is in collaboration with SUNY Cobleskill and gives youth an up-close look at different agri-businesses as well as an opportunity to tour the college and meet with professors to learn what a college experience in their desired program area would look like.

Youth were able to choose which agri-businesses they toured on Thursday. Participating businesses included: Schoharie Valley Farms, Sweet Tree Farm, Hessian Hill Farm, Jack Miller’s Tractor and Truck, Fairbanks Stable, and Black Willow Pond Farm.

On the SUNY Cobleskill campus, tour options included Speaking with A Veterinarian, The Dairy Processing Center, the Meat Processing Lab and the Milk Quality Lab. Following their tours, teens worked together to create presentations to share with the rest of the group following a dinner on campus.

Friday was spent on campus starting with breakfast in the dining hall followed by campus tours led by SUNY Cobleskill Ambassadors. Following the tours, teens visited their academic area of interest which allowed them to meet with professors in that field and learn about the program area. Areas to choose from included Ag Business, Floriculture/Nursery Management, Equine Studies, Biotechnology, Ag Engineering, Livestock, Canine, Dairy, Fisheries & Wildlife, Histotechnology, and Ag Communications.

Genesee County 4-H members (l-r) Justin Deleo and Bing Zuber attended the NYS 4-H ABC Trip and met up with fellow 4-H member and SUNY Cobleskill student Ian Keberle. Provided photo.

The event culminated with lunch in the dining hall, giving participants another opportunity to experience the food on campus. The ABC Trip is offered each fall to NYS 4-H members 14 years of age and older.

For more information on this trip and other 4-H offerings, contact the Genesee County 4-H Program at genesee4h@cornell.edu or 585-3433040 ext. 101. The Genesee County 4-H Program is a youth development program for youth ages five to 18.

Applications for home heating assistance now available statewide Applications for the Home Energy Assistance Program, or HEAP, are now being accepted. HEAP can provide up to $976 this winter to help low- and middle-income households and older adults keep their homes warm and cope with high energy costs.

“HEAP provides valuable financial assistance that will help hundreds of thousands of our most vulnerable New Yorkers pay their energy bills,” Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance Acting Commissioner Barbara C. Guinn said. “I encourage all eligible households to apply to help reduce the costs they incur to keep their homes warm throughout the heating season.”

The program, overseen by the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, is federally funded. Eligible households can receive one Regular benefit per season and could also be eligible for an Emergency benefit if they are in danger of running out of heating fuel or having their utility service shut off.

Applications for emergency benefits will be accepted beginning January 2, 2024.

Eligible homeowners and renters may receive up to $976 in heating assistance, depending on their income, household size, how they heat their home, and if the household contains a vulnerable member. A family of four may have a maximum gross monthly

income of $5,838, or an annual gross income of $70,059 and still qualify for benefits.

Applications for assistance are accepted at local departments of social services and can be submitted online, through the mail or in person. Additionally, older adults needing assistance with HEAP applications can contact their local office for the aging or contact the NY Connects helpline at 1-800-342-9871.

More than 1.7 million HEAP benefits were issued last winter totaling more than $434 million. Assistance is provided on a firstcome, first-served basis.

Additionally, help is also now available to assist eligible homeowners if their primary

heating equipment is unsafe or not operating and their furnace or boiler must be repaired or replaced. Benefit amounts through the HEAP Heating Equipment Repair and Replacement program are based on the actual cost incurred to repair or replace the essential heating equipment – up to $4,000 for a repair and $8,000 for a replacement.

Eligible homeowners can also now apply for a HEAP Heating Equipment Clean and Tune benefit to keep their home’s primary heating source working at peak efficiency.

Applicants for these benefits should contact their local department of social services for more information.

NATIONwIde AdverTIsers Reader Advisory: The National Trade Association we belong to has purchased the above clas-sifieds. Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home.

Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service.

Local Edward Jones office supports Toys for Tots drive Diane Hennekey and Carrie Rodriguez, Edward Jones financial advisors, are supporting the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots program by using their office as a drop-off location for this year’s toy drive.

Local residents may help make a difference for children in the area by bringing in a new, unwrapped toy to the office, 97 Canal Landing Boulevard, Suite 1, Rochester 14626, during regular business hours through December 15. Monetary gifts, including gift cards, cannot be accepted.

“Our purpose at Edward Jones is to make a positive difference for our clients, colleagues and communities.

Serving as a collection point for the Toys for Tots drive is one way we can join with our community and deliver on that purpose,” Carrie Rodriguez said. “And now, in the season of giving, it’s an ideal time to remember

Orleans County CCE accepting applications for 2024 Master Gardener Training Orleans County Cornell Cooperative Extension is gearing up to offer the Master Gardener Training course again in early 2024. Applications are being accepted until December 1.

The Master Gardener program is a nation-wide volunteer service program, started in 1973 in Washington state. Each state has a land-grant university that offers extension offices in each of their counties. Master Gardener Volunteers support the mission of Cornell Cooperative Extension by “extending” the research-based information and guidelines put forth

by Cornell University to their county residents. The Master Gardener Training Course is offered every other year and is the first step for those who are interested in becoming a Master Gardener Volunteer with Cornell Cooperative Extension.

The course in 2024 will once again be a hybrid course with a large part of the lessons taking place online. The online part of the course is broken down into “modules” – different sections with “Read,” “Watch,” and “Do” portions to guide students through various horticultural subject matter. The online course is self-paced, meaning students are given a time frame within which to complete each module and they can choose when to complete the coursework based on their personal schedule.

“I learned so much from taking MG training about ways to garden that support the environment,” said Deb Roberts, a 2022 MG Training graduate, “It gave me a good basis of science-based knowledge that I can build on and gives me hope.”

In addition to the online portion, students will meet once a week with CCE Horticulture Educator Katie Oakes, who is the coordinator of the Master Gardener programs as well as the facilitator and main instructor for the Master Gardener Training Course.

“The feedback I heard most often following that first run of the hybrid training course is that the students wished they had been able to meet more frequently in person,” Oakes explained the change this year. “Everyone agreed that it was so valuable to have the in-person meetings to really drive home key points in each module, and to have that hands-on learning that so many students appreciate.”

This coming year, the course will start February 1 and will run through May 2, with in-person classes occurring every Thursday evening at the extension office’s ‘Buzz Hill’ Education Center from 6 to 8 p.m.

“The Master Gardener program was an excellent experience; it changed the way I garden and look at my environment. The research based

Katie Oakes, facilitator of the Master Gardener Training program, shows students how to conduct a soil pH test. educational materials were thorough, interesting, and challenged me to think differently,” explained Sue Starkweather Miller, who completed the Master Gardener Training Course in 2022. “There was a lot of new information for me to learn, so I would have preferred to have had the weekly group sessions Katie is planning for this coming Training session. It will give the new students more time to reinforce what they learn in the online modules.”

Once students complete the training program, they serve 50 hours with the MG Program to become official Master Gardener Volunteers. Those service hours can include attending monthly Master Gardener meetings, helping out at various Master Gardener educational programs, tabling at public events like the Home and Garden Show and the Orleans County 4-H Fair, or finding answers to gardening questions that come in from county residents.

“The best part about the program is finding a group of people who care about the same things that I do, and who are excited to share what they know,” said Peggy Thomas, another graduate of the 2022 MG Training.

“I learn something new every time we meet.”

Orleans County CCE will close the application process on December 1, 2023, after which participants for the course will be selected and notified of acceptance into the program. Preference will be given to Orleans County residents and those who are interested in becoming long-term volunteers with the Master Gardener Program.

The cost of the course is $250. If you are interested in the course, but require financial assistance, contact Katie Oakes directly at 585-798-4265 ext. 125 or by email at klo54@cornell. edu. Applications can be found online at https://orleans.cce.cornell.edu/.

Churchville-Chili wins seventh boys soccer Section V title

by Warren Kozireski Churchville-Chili advanced to the Section V Class AA boys soccer final for the fourth time in the last six years, battling their rival Spencerport. But this time was different as the Saints came away with a 3-2 overtime victory on a goal by senior Elijah Bailey after a feed from classmate Andrew Berardicurti.

The victory marked the first Section V title since 1998 according to the Section V website, and their seventh overall.

“Spencerport is a big rival and we lost to them both times this season and besides that, we’ve been facing them since we were nine or ten years old and summer team and always come this close,” Bailey said. “They beat us out for state cup…and we finally got them at the most important time.

“We felt like both losses we dominated, but we came up short, so we were motivated. I feel so happy for coach (John Mahoney) most of all because he’s been going through tough stuff with his family, and it’s been so long, and I feel so happy for him.”

The Saints were seeded second behind top-seed Spencerport after an 11-3-1 regular season. They defeated Victor 2-1 and Canandaigua 4-0 over the first two rounds and ended their semi-final game with Hilton in a 0-0 tie after double-overtime before winning 7-6 on penalty kicks to advance to the final.

Churchville-Chili only allowed ten goals all season, anchored by the defense in seniors Camden Bean and Andrew Burke with sophomores Isaac Bailey and Braeden Naujokas in front of senior goalkeeper Joshua Smith or sophomore Mason Simmons, who came on for the penalty kick portion of the Hilton semi-final win.

Berardicurti led the team with eight goals, with Bailey and Bean combining for ten more. Senior Aidan Ozkaynak and sophomore Chris Keller each had seven points while junior Colin Guilfoyle led the squad with five assists.

“The long wait is over…and it couldn’t have been written better for us against such a very good team and fierce rival of ours,” Churchville-Chili head coach Maloney said.

“We said at halftime to the guys that if we just shut them out in the second half that we have a chance to win this, and we’re a shutout soccer team – that’s what we do.

“You’ve seen us lose a Sectional final in double overtime with that much time on the clock…so I’m the last guy who is going to apologize to anybody for how that game weirdly turned out (because) we’ve been on the other end of that so many times.

“Happy for my team, happy for my school, happy for my family and just proud of the program we have. We’ve been good for a long time, but just unlucky in finals…so very happy.”
