Six events set to award guaranteed starting spots for Super DIRT Week

Lebanon Valley Speedway kicks off Super DIRT Week Qualifiers on May 29

Super DIrTcar Series drivers will have six chances to lock themselves into the prestigious Billy Whittaker Cars 200 at Super DIrT Week 51 this year.

Six events – across four tracks – will award six drivers with the illustrious prize, guaranteeing them a starting spot in the 200-lap Feature at Oswego Speedway on Sunday, October 8.

The winner of each Super DIrT Week Qualifier Feature will be awarded the guaranteed starting spot. If the winner of the event has already earned a spot, it will go to the next driver in the finishing order who hasn’t won it yet.

Lebanon Valley Speedway’s King of Spring 100 on Monday, May 29, will be the first Super DIrT Week Qualifier of the year, adding another level of excitement to the $13,500to-win Memorial Day special.

The event produced one of the best underdog stories of the season in 2022 with Connecticut’s LJ Lombardo scoring his first career Super DIrTcar Series win, and first Super DIrT Week guaranteed starting spot. His entire season changed after that, knowing he would run in his first Super DIrT Week.

“I’ve been dreaming of this since I’ve been a little kid,” Lombardo said in Victory Lane at Lebanon Valley last year.

The Series will return to Lebanon Valley in September for the famed Mr. DIrT Track USA event, which has been won by Andy Bachetti the last two years.

After Lebanon Valley, Weedsport Speedway will host its first of two $10,000-to-win Super DIrT Week Qualifier events. The Hall of Fame 100 will be on Sunday, July 16, and then the Cavalcade Cup Weekend will be Sunday, September 10.

Jimmy phelps, of Baldwinsville, NY, earned his first points-paying Series race since 2019 at Weedsport last year – a home track for his Heinke-Baldwin racing team, which is located on the grounds of the facility. With the win came a Super DIrT Week guaranteed starting spot and a sigh of

relief knowing he wouldn’t have to worry about qualifying for the event.

“It was a huge relief, taking the edge off a little bit, making sure we’re in the show,” phelps said. “Obviously, the goal is to Time Trial well, start up front and get your track position. It’s nice to know if things go a little sideways on you during Qualifying that you can focus on your race package and not worry about making sure you’re doing everything you can to get into a qualifying spot.”

New to the list of Super DIrT Week Qualifiers, and to the Super DIrTcar Series 2023 schedule, is the addition of Autodrome Drummond in Drummondville, QC. The Series is returning to the 3/8-mile Canadian track, July 31 and August 1, with the second night of the event awarding a $10,000 pay day and Super DIrT Week guaranteed starting spot.

For the four Canadian rookies on the tour this year – Flex roy, JF Corriveau, Mathieu Desjardins and Steve Bernard – it could be their best opportunity of the year to score a season defining victory in front of their home fans.

“All the drivers are excited about the return of the Big Blocks to race against the best in the business and try to beat them in front of the fans at home,” Autodrome Drummond promoter Yan Bussiere said. “There was only one driver who managed to take the victory several years ago. His name is Steve poirier and the fans still talk about it. It was an incredible evening. The fans were euphoric.”

Albany-Saratoga Speedway’s Malta Massive Weekend on Saturday, September 23, will be the final chance for drivers to secure a guaranteed starting spot before Super DIrT Week starts two weeks later (October 2 through 8). Billy Decker was able to score the final spot last year with a second-place finish since Matt Sheppard, the race winner, already had a spot locked up.

Remembering fallen heroes with our roadways

by Tami Raco

This Memorial Day weekend, as you are out and about headed to a picnic or to the lake, take a moment to notice and reflect on the roadways that are dedicated to local fallen veterans and first responders. In western Monroe County, elected officials found it important to take the necessary actions to dedicate roadways to our local fallen heroes. Below you will learn a little bit about some of these dedications of roads on which you might find yourself traveling.

In the town of Parma, a portion of the state highway system Route 259 between Lake Ontario State Parkway and Dunbar Road was designated and known as the “Specialist Jason Hasenauer Memorial Highway.” On December 28, 2005, in Kandahar, Afghanistan, Private Jason Hasenauer was sitting in a machine-gun turret of a Humvee when a roadside bomb went off, overturning the vehicle, injuring four other soldiers and killing Pfc. Hasenauer. Pfc Hasenauer was promoted to Specialist First Class and was serving in the United States Army’s 82nd Airborne Division at the time of his death. Jason joined the Hilton Fire Explorer Post at the age of 14 and became Explorer Chief. He graduated from Hilton High School in 2003 and was an active member of the Hilton Fire Department, having joined when he was 18 years old. Even while in the Army, he routinely called his friends in the Hilton Fire Department to stay in touch. Specialist Jason Hasenauer was survived by his parents, Dan and Rita Hasenauer; fiancée, Colette Kopp; three-week-old daughter, Kayla; brothers, Daniel R., Jeremy and Eric.

In Greece, a portion of the state highway system was designated as the “Sergeant Gary Beikirch Memorial Highway.” It includes all the portion of the state highway system constituting Latta Road (Rt. 18) between Long Pond Road and Route 390 in the town of Greece.

Sergeant Gary B. Beikirch was a Vietnam veteran who earned the Medal of Honor for his actions in Vietnam, saving

lives and surviving life-threatening injuries in war. He was stationed at Camp Buck-Song where he risked his life defending fellow soldiers, Vietnamese comrades, and villagers while sustaining life-threatening injuries. Beikirch was a highly distinguished citizen and devoted member of his community who passed away on December 26, 2021. He left an immeasurable impact on this community, state, and nation. His dedication to serve and love others didn’t stop after his time in uniform, as Gary continued to devote his life to the benefit and service of others. For over 30 years, he was a middle school counselor for the Greece School District, positively impacting thousands of lives. Gary was also a co-founder of the Veterans Outreach Center that has served and continues to serve veterans of Monroe County and across our region. Gary’s dedication to others didn’t stop there. He was actively involved in his church, First Bible Baptist in Hilton, and the faith community, serving as an ordained minister. Although Gary is no longer here, his legacy of love lives on for all those he touched.

In Spencerport/Ogden a portion of state highway system Rt. 259 between Lyell Avenue and Rt. 31 in the village of Spencerport is dedicated as the “Firefighter Robert Fowler Memorial Highway.” On Saturday, February 22, 1997, at 9 a.m., Robert “Bob” Fowler of the Spencerport Volunteer Fire Department was responding to a call of greater than 70-mile-per-hour winds blowing the windows out of a storefront in Spencerport. He and his 15-year-old son, Tim, served together in the department explorer program and were on the way to the firehouse to respond to the call. They were stopped at the intersection of Rt. 259 and Lyell Avenue when heavy winds blew over a 40-foot tree, causing it to fall onto the length of the car, crushing it. Tim, in the passenger seat, ducked down and the airbag covered him, partially protecting him from the impact, but Robert took the full blow of the tree and died instantly. Firefighter Fowler joined the Spencerport Fire Department in 1974 and served the people of his community for over 23 years. His love for family and children was also evident as he spent many years organizing the Fire Department Christmas Party for the children of department members and served at the annual Easter and Halloween Parties and Haunted House. Firefighter Robert “Bob” Fowler was survived by his wife, Gail, and sons, Alan and Tim. These three roadway dedications were made possible through the efforts of Assemblyman Josh Jensen of the 134th Assembly District.

Spencerport Firefighter Robert Fowler was killed in the line of duty in 1997.

On Clarkson Parma Town Line Road in Parma, a portion of that county road is dedicated to the fallen firefighters and their families. Last summer, County Legislators Jackie Smith and Blake Keller worked with the chairmen from the local chapter of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation to dedicate this portion of roadway. The National Fallen Fire Fighters Foundation is a nonprofit whose mission is to honor and remember American fallen fire heroes as well as provide resources and support to their families. Larry Vaughan, of Brockport, a Vietnam veteran and lifelong firefighter, is a volunteer and a committee chair member at the Rochester NFFF. Retired Chief Vaughan began the process to request that a portion of the road be dedicated to the local fallen firefighters. “Legislator Jackie Smith and Legislator Blake Keller made it happen,” said Vaughan. The portion of Clarkson Parma Townline Road was chosen because the annual fundraiser for the NFFF is held at Deerfield Country Club each year. “It is a beautiful gesture having the sign for the dedication right before the entrance of the country club,” said Vaughan. For more information on the NFFF, visit www.firehero.org.

Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma June 3

Individuals living with and affected by scleroderma will join together at 9 a.m., on June 3, at Genesee Valley Park, Roundhouse & Canal Side Shelters, 1000 East River Road, Rochester, to take part in the annual Rochester area Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma walk. Scleroderma is a rare rheumatic disease that affects connective tissue and the vascular system, producing excessive collagen that causes fibrosis in the skin (localized) or in internal organs (systemic sclerosis). The disease can cause disfigurement and disability. For some, it’s lifethreatening. There is no known cause or cure. More than 300,000 Americans live with the disease. This year marks a special occasion for the organization. The National Scleroderma Foundation is celebrating its 25th anniversary. Founded in 1998, the Foundation has been advancing medical re-

search, promoting disease awareness, and providing support to people with scleroderma, their families and support networks for 25 years. For the last 20 of those years, walks have taken place across the country to bring awareness to the disease and raise funds to support the National Scleroderma Foundation’s mission.

“The scope of our work is nationwide,” said Mary Wheatley, CEO of the National Scleroderma Foundation. “And we are grateful to our supporters across the country who are leading the fight against this disease. Our Rochester area walk is always a special one; walkers, organizers and volunteers are incredibly committed and passionate.”

WAA Radio airing roundtable discussion on veteran employment

Wreaths Across America Radio will be airing its next radio roundtable discussion on Wednesday, May 31, at noon and 5 p.m. The discussion was recorded in front of a live audience from the Vaught Center at the Military Women’s Memorial in Arlington, Virginia. It will build upon this year’s Wreaths Across America (WAA) theme, “Serve and Succeed,” and addresses employment opportunities for veterans as well as pertinent information for those looking to hire veterans.

The panel discussion was moderated by WAA Executive Director Karen Worcester and the Military Women’s Memorial President, retired Army Chief Warrant Officer 5 Phyllis Wilson.

“I feel strongly that in order for us to fulfill our yearlong mission to Remember, Honor and Teach, it is vital that we work with other organizations to identify ways to help our nation’s veterans find success once their service in uniform is complete,” said Worcester. “Our hope is that through these types

of discussions we will be able to share resources for veterans, and their families, as they look to transition back into civilian life and offer insight to other organizations and businesses as to why hiring veterans is a good thing for all.”

The discussion provided the opportunity for the panelists – Col. David A. Grant, Adam Rocke, and Brad Bentley – to share what pulled them to their chosen career paths and discuss the unique ways their current roles help veterans transitioning into the civilian workforce. Questions from the audience allowed panelists to share tips for businesses looking to hire veterans and military spouses into their workforce and explored how to help veterans be successful in their chosen career paths.

You can listen to Wreaths Across America Radio’s 24/7 internet stream anytime and anywhere on the iHeart Radio app, Audacy app, TuneIn app, or at www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/radio.

FASNY offers BBQ and grilling safety tips

As New Yorkers gear up to celebrate Memorial Day weekend, many will be turning on their grills for the first time this season. The Firefighters Association of the State of New York (FASNY) recommends that all New Yorkers follow some basic rules and tips to avoid accidents and injuries. They also urge everyone to never hesitate to call for help when needed.

Emergency departments nationwide have seen a significant rise over the past decade in the number of visits from grilling injuries, with an 18% rise in patients being treated in emergency departments for grilling-related injuries over the past 10 years. NFPA data shows that from 2014 to 2018, fire departments responded to an annual average of 10,600 home fires

annually involving grills, hibachis, or barbecues. This includes 4,900 structure fires and 5,700 outside or unclassified fires. These fires resulted in an annual average of 10 civilian deaths, 160 civilian injuries, and $149 million in direct property damage.

“We want all New Yorkers to enjoy fun and safe Memorial Day celebrations this weekend, which means reviewing safety rules and tips for grilling,” said FASNY President Edward Tase Jr. “Your local fire department is ready to help, no matter how big or small the problem. Don’t hesitate to call your local fire department because a few minutes can make a big difference.”

You can keep everyone safe by following the important tips below.

Tips from the NFPA and FASNY:

•Propane and charcoal BBQ grills should only be used outdoors.

•The grill should be placed well away from the home, deck railings and out from under eaves and overhanging branches.

•Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the grill area.

•Keep your grill clean by removing grease or fat buildup from the grills and in trays below the grill.

•Never leave your grill unattended.

•Always make sure your gas grill lid is open before lighting it.

Wanted: Local History Buffs

The Brockport Community Museum (BCM) is a “museum without walls” that strives to bring local history to the attention of residents and visitors. With no building or collection to manage, this group uses its website, https://www.brockportcommunitymuseum.org/, as well as historic markers, interpretive panels and display cases to share local history with the community.

Recently, a sub-committee developed two new interpretive panels documenting Brockport’s lift bridges.

The committee worked with Mayor Margay Blackman on the project. The Park Avenue Lift Bridge panel will be dedicated on June 10. The committee also worked with the Pomeroy Foundation to install a historic marker on State Street memorializing the Trolley Depot that, for many years, was known as the Colonial Inn and Flash’s Tavern. The trolley connected Rochester and Buffalo and was part of an interurban rail system that helped to link urban and rural areas before the advent of the automobile. These projects and many others can be explored on the BCM website.

The BCM is always looking to expand its membership and has a particular need for Board members and volunteers who possess skills in the area of graphic design, marketing using social media and other platforms, research, and just the joy of exploring local history.

For additional information, contact BCM President, Allan Berry, at aberry@rochester.rr.com using the subject line: Wanted: Local History Buffs.

WEMOCO CTE Center earns highest SkillsUSA honor

One of the largest student organizations for career and technical education has bestowed an elite honor upon Monroe 2-Orleans BOCES Career and Technical Education.

The WEMOCO CTE Center SkillsUSA chapter has been named a 2023 Model of Excellence, an honor given annually to the nation’s top 24 SkillsUSA chapters. The Model of Excellence program recognizes a chapter’s application of the SkillsUSA Framework of personal, workplace and technical skills grounded in academics.

“Our Models of Excellence represent the very best in SkillsUSA chapter achievement and community involvement,” said SkillsUSA Executive Director Chelle Travis. “These students represent America’s future skilled workforce and are future leaders in their local communities. It is a tremendous honor for these chapters and the recognition validates these outstanding SkillsUSA programs and schools.”

The focus of Models of Excellence is student-led activation and intentional learning. These students learn and practice the skills that every employer seeks, including leadership, initiative, communication, teamwork and problem solving.

“Participating in SkillsUSA provides WEMOCO students an opportunity to apply their industry-aligned knowledge and gain valuable experience as leaders,” said CTE Executive Principal Jill Slavny. “This honor is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our students, teachers and staff members.”

The WEMOCO SkillsUSA Chapter is being recognized in Workplace Skills for the World Teen Mental Wellness Day (WTMWD) activity. Students identified an opportunity to spread awareness of mental health resources and did so by providing every student and staff member with a business card of resources, as well as a poster for each classroom and office space.

“Our officers noticed many of their friends at WEMOCO were struggling

with their own mental health issues and they wanted to help anyone who was struggling,” said Jennifer Probst, WEMOCO SkillsUSA lead advisor and Dental Assisting teacher. “They knew that they wanted to spread awareness of mental health and provide resources that our students could access anywhere, anytime.”

“This activity helped not only our officers grow in the ability to manage a complex project effectively but also show that they have mastered the SkillsUSA Workplace Skill of Planning, Organizing and Management,” added Probst. “I’m so proud of all the dedication and hard work these students put into this project and how they were able to reach 100% of our students and staff.”

For the 2022-23 school year, 225 students joined the WEMOCO SkillsUSA chapter and have participated in teambuilding, community service and leadership activities. Students were also eligible to compete in local, regional and state competitions.

The Model of Excellence is the highest honor the WEMOCO SkillsUSA Chapter has received through the SkillsUSA Chapter Excellence program. This is the fourth consecutive year the chapter has been recognized. In 2022 and 2021, the chapter was a Gold Chapter of Distinction, the second highest level of achievement, and in 2020, it was named a Quality Chapter.

The 24 SkillsUSA chapters selected as Models of Excellence will compete for national notoriety during the SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference in Atlanta from June 19 to 23. Chapter representatives will participate in a series of interviews and discuss a studentled project tied to the SkillsUSA Framework. The top three schools will be announced during the awards ceremony on June 23 and will have the opportunity to share their stories through SkillsUSA in publications and training sessions.

Taking a look at emergency preparedness in Ogden

by Mike Zale, Ogden Town Supervisor

Here in the Town of Ogden, we pride ourselves on being a tight knit, friendly community where all are welcome to live, work and raise a family. Part of what makes this community special is our commitment to public safety.

We’re lucky to have exceptional police and fire departments, along with a strong EMS and first responder support system. These groups are invaluable and can always be relied upon to maintain community safety.

There are also tools available that can help keep you and your family informed in the rare case of emergency. The Hyper-Reach Emergency Notification System is a service provided to the residents of Monroe County through the emergency Communications Department/911 Center. It automatically notifies residents of emergencies and provides them with special instructions based on the type of emergency event taking place.

When tragedy strikes, Hyper-Reach can provide timely information necessary to keep you and your family safe. This system can be a very effective means of notification, so we encourage residents to register their cellular devices with the system to be able to be notified if the need arises. To register, visit monroecounty.gov/safety-ecd, scroll down to “Hyper-Reach:” and click “Sign Up For Hyper-Reach

Our town’s Emergency Preparedness Plan (EPP) serves as another vital community safety resource. This plan identifies possible emergencies and hazards that may arise within the town or the village, such as natural weather disasters or a hazardous material event on a local roadway. It also provides guidelines on mitigation efforts following an emergency and identifies a general command structure to be utilized if a disaster were to occur. Lastly, the Plan includes resources available through local, County, State and Federal governments to assist both residents and local agencies after an event.

Our EPP was last updated in 2016, so we determined last year that it was time for an overhaul of the document. We formed an Emergency Preparedness Committee comprised of community representatives from the town, village, police department, school district, fire district and other local organizations to review the existing plan and make recommendations for our new one. We’re in the final stages of completing this plan and will be looking to adopt it soon.

As you can see, we’re doing everything we can to ensure we have the necessary plans, personnel and resources in place to respond in times of emergency.

Thank you to the members of the Emergency Preparedness Committee and to all the first responders who continue to keep our community safe!

North Chili church restarting monthly pancake breakfasts

The United Methodist Church of North Chili will be restarting its monthly community pancake breakfasts on June 3 between the hours of 8 and 10 a.m. The donation is $7 for adults, $4 for children (5-10 years), and free for children under five. Breakfast includes juice, pancakes, sausage, eggs, coffee, tea, etc. The church is located at the intersection of Buffalo Road and Westside Drive.

23 Brockport High School students to earn Seal of Biliteracy

Twenty-three students from Brockport High School (BHS) are on track to receive their Seal of Biliteracy when they cross the stage at graduation June 23.

According to BHS Instructional Coach Jennifer Cropo, this is more than just another accolade to celebrate during graduation, it’s a skill that will make students more marketable in a quickly chang-

“You don’t need to just be able to talk to your neighbor anymore,” Cropo said. “Anyone planning on going into a career these days will be more employable if they can speak to a more diverse audience and this program helps students expand their world

The Seal of Biliteracy program was first piloted in 2019 with just one student earning their seal that year. Since then, four students have gone on to earn

“These students have worked hard over their high school career to attain the seal of biliteracy,” said Orlando Benzan, Brockport Diverse, Equity, and Inclusion Coordinator and BHS Assistant Principal. “Beyond the challenge of learning a new language, these students attained this skill during COVID,

Four years later, this group of 23 seniors will be the largest class to receive the seal on their diploma and medallion at graduation. This will also be the first class where three of those students will be earning double seals, having picked up a tertiary

“We have students who are not only earning and attaining a seal in French or Spanish,” Benzan explained. “They also attained a seal in their native language.”

Those languages include Hungarian, Mandarin and Russian.

“Ease of communication is a major skill all these students will be able to take with them as they begin to face a world that’s more globally connected,” Cropo said. “While English is the dominant language, their ability to communicate and comprehend will help them learn linguistic undertones so they can better navigate through life.”

History of West Greece (Hoosick Hill)

by David Crumb, Parma-Hilton Historian

At the intersection of Manitou Road and Ridge Road West stands an early Parma cemetery high on a hill. Known as Hoosic Hill Cemetery, this old burial ground has graves of early pioneers dating back to the very early 1800s. Today the cemetery is all that remains of the old community built around the above intersection, then known on old maps as West Greece, New York, even though half of the community on the west side was in the town of Parma.

Each of the four corners had homes, barns, and public buildings in a tightly arranged typical small town setting. Of significant importance is that Manitou Road, before 1880, was called the Parma Greece Townline Road. In the prosperous 1880s and 90s, resort operations were developing along the Lake Ontario shoreline. On the west side of Braddock Bay, a resort was being developed by people by the name of Skinner, Odenbach, McLaughlin, and Weidman. When it came time to name this resort beach, the authorities chose Manitou because of the name. Manitou was a Native American deity from out west, and that name seemed appropriate for the era. Another interesting fact about this intersection is that Manitou Road did not always go in a straight line at the intersection. Hoosic Hill in the old days was much larger and extended east into what is now West Herr’s parking lot. To go south on Manitou, a driver heading south had to make a little jog to the left before proceeding down the much narrower road of the 1800s. On top of this much larger Hoosic Hill stood Parma’s first traditional church building. It was built as a Congregational church in 1824 by the early residents of West Greece and Parma Corners. This impressive piece of colonial-style architecture stood high on the hill straddling the Greece-Parma boundary line and casting a long shadow down north Manitou Road. Driving up Manitou Road from the north, the church with its high steeple must have been an awesome sight. The cemetery to the west of the church is the resting place of the early parishioners. The cemetery includes many of the early residents and first settlers of both Greece and Parma. Included also are several Revolutionary War veterans: Asa Beebe 1764-1854; Kitchell Reed 1754-1842; Ephraim Day 1740-1825; and Benjamin Barrett 1760-1831. There are also two French and Indian War Veterans interred there. These veterans are remembered each Memorial Day with flags placed on the graves by the V.F.W.

In the early 1900s, with the advance of transportation and the automobile, town officials agreed to remove the old Congregational church, which had been abandoned due to declining membership. The old building was empty and left to the wind and weather. Once the church was gone, excavators moved in and took out a good chunk of Hoosic Hill so that Manitou Road could go in a straight line as it does today. At a later date, and as traffic increased, a stop light was installed over the intersection. Today most of the old buildings of West Greece have burned, deteriorated, or been demolished. Fortunately, old photographs have survived of the area so that those who are curious can catch a glimpse of what the historic community once looked like.

On the southwest corner extending into West Herr’s parking lot due to the jog in the road were a line of small homes and businesses, Boylins’ general store, the West Greece Post Office, and later fronting Ridge Road, the Concord Lutheran Church along with its parsonage. Of special importance, however, was the physician’s office and home of Dr. Samuel Beach Bradley, one of Parma and Greece’s most distinguished citizens. Dr. Bradley arrived in West Greece in 1823. For a few years after that, during his 20s, he moved around the country, gaining an impressive education. It was said he knew eight languages and could converse in four. He was also a noted botanist with 11 species credited to his research. Around 1830 he came back to West Greece, where he settled permanently. His old home was on the Greece side of south Manitou. It burned in 1974. His old doctor’s office, however, has survived and is now located behind the historic Parma Meeting House on Parma Center Road. This was thanks to the efforts of former Parma Historian Shirley Cox Husted, Don Cox, and the involvement and help of history students from Roberts Wesleyan College. Further restoration is still needed, but the small building has been preserved.

Dr. Bradley kept a diary that his descendants also preserved. In the 1970s, Grace Goodell Witty, a charter member of the Parma Hilton Historical Society, painstakingly transcribed the entire collection by hand with no aid of a computer. Whenever Dr. Bradley mounted his horse to ride off to care for a patient, his neighbor Martha Maneely hollered out her kitchen window, “who sick, who sick,” giving rise to the name Hoosick Hill. As much as people like to subscribe to this lore, it turns out through research that a few of the early settlers came from Hoosick, New York, east of Albany.

On the northeast corner where West Herr has a used car lot, there once stood an old stagecoach stop called the Manchester House and later the Winslow Hotel. It was built in the popular Greek Revivalstyle architecture and catered to travelers heading east and west on Ridge Rd over the years. It met an untimely fate in 1914 when just before a sleighing party was scheduled to arrive, the place blew up due to an acetylene gas explosion. Fortunately, photos of this event were captured. One photo, in particular, shows the arriving sleighs and their occupants. If they had arrived 20 minutes earlier, they would have been part of the disaster.

Further east on the Ridge, but still a part of the West Greece community, was Streb’s Steak House restaurant. Many readers will remember this favorite old standby located in a historic old inn. It had a reputation for good food at reasonable prices. But in the early 2000s, it closed and was later acquired by a car dealership and demolished to make room for more cars.

The first cobblestone house west of the Genesee River on Ridge Road is a bit further east on the north side, set back from the road. For many years this interesting old house was known as the “Cat Nap,” a place to take your cat for a vacation while its owner took theirs. It has been shuttered and abandoned for a number of years and decorated with graffiti. Hopefully, in time, it will be repurposed with a new use and subsequently be preserved for its architectural and historical value. On the south side of Ridge is Stutzman’s Guitar Center. It is a federal-style architectural building that once served as an early home but is now a commercial landmark still in productive use.

On the north side heading west of the intersection on the Parma side is the Friendly Motel, the offices housed in an early brick building that was also once a house. In the 1940s and 50s, there were several of these motel operations in the area, including Kirby’s, which was one of the first to boast a swimming pool.

Parma’s District No. 13 schoolhouse was located just in front of the Hoosick cemetery on Ridge Road. After the decentralization of rural schools, the building was moved west and then north on Dean Road and converted into a home. An interview with Pearl Neumann, a spritely centenarian who attended the school for eight years, brought to life some of the memories of the school in the early 1930s. Pearl remembered her teachers, Mrs. Mahally and Mrs. Vaness. She also reminisced about wild times during Halloween when the older boys disassembled a buggy and then moved it to the school’s roof, and reassembled the wheels. There it was, straddling the roof’s peak the next morning when the kids arrived at school, to everyone’s amazement. That tale has been etched into the lore of both Parma Corners and West Greece. Even 90-year-old Bob Tice recalled the event when I spoke with him at his home in Virginia.

About halfway between West Greece and Parma Corners, sitting high on a hill, is the old Lankton homestead. It was once a sizeable farm operation. Now the house and grounds are enjoyed by the Lopassio family. The house retains much of its early form, including a cupola on the roof. An-

area in the 1950s. The family was generous during the summer months and let local schools host swimming lessons for younger students.

Tomato growing tips

by Kristina Gabalski

The growing season is in full swing, and if you are like most gardeners, you will be growing some tomatoes this year. Tomatoes are the most popular homegrown vegetable, and they love lots of heat and sun. Despite their popularity, tomatoes can be challenging. Here are this year’s tips for growing tomatoes, whether you have grown them for decades or just a few days.

According to Cornell University, tomatoes like a neutral to slightly acidic soil in the 6.0-6.8 range. Check with your local Cooperative Extension regarding soil testing. Once you know your soil pH, you can add the recommended amount of elemental sulfur to lower the pH or the recommended amount of ground agricultural lime to raise the soil pH.

Tomatoes are the most popular garden vegetable to grow. With the right conditions, gardeners can enjoy a tasty harvest. Photo by Kristina Gabalski

Dig a hole large enough for the root ball, and be sure to firm the soil around the roots. Water plants again after transplanting. You can plant tomatoes so that some of the stem is below the soil line, as roots will grow from the buried part of the stem.

Be careful not to use too much nitrogen fertilizer as plants will put their energy into bushy, leafy foliage growth and be slow to bear fruit. When the first fruits begin to enlarge, you can apply fertilizer along the row of plants in a six-inch wide band, scratching it into the surface of the soil.

The University of Minnesota Extension says to consider improving your soil by adding composted manure or other compost in the fall or the spring before you plant. If your soil has been improved by adding compost, you may not need to apply fertilizer. Black plastic mulch can help increase soil temperature, keep the soil moist, and protect plant roots.

If you are buying transplants, pick ones that are sturdy and up to one foot tall. The stems should be at least the diameter of a pencil, and leaves should be closely spaced up the stem. Avoid plants with leaf spots, as they likely are diseased.

Be mindful of where you plant. Rotate tomatoes from year to year, picking a spot where tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, or eggplants have not grown for the past several years. Rotation and sanitation are very important for growing tomatoes. Be sure to wait until after all danger of frost has passed and the soil is warm. The best time to transplant is later in the day on a cool, cloudy, and calm day. Water the tomatoes before transplanting and install supports - stakes, cages, trellises, etc., when you plant.

Keep soil moisture consistent throughout the growing season to produce the best quality fruit. Blossom-end rot can result when soil moisture levels fluctuate. Soak the soil thoroughly when watering, and do not get the leaves wet, as wet leaves are more disease prone. Soil splashed up onto the leaves can contain disease spores. Again, this is a good reason to mulch tomatoes to prevent rain from spreading disease. Tomatoes should receive one inch of rainfall or irrigation each week.

Tomato plants should be weeded. Mulch also helps with this chore by suppressing weeds. Use herbicidefree grass clippings, straw, or other organic material to a depth of three to four inches, or use plastic mulch, as stated earlier.

Understand that there will likely always be some level of disease and/or insect problems with your tomatoes. You can still have a decent harvest despite some of these issues. Early and late blight, septoria leaf spot, viruses, and bacterial spot can be prevented through cultural practices. Give plants room between each other for air circulation; choose a sunny location; prune off tiny new stems and leaves between branches and the main stem; practice rotation; water at the base; use mulch and look for disease-resistant varieties when you purchase plants or seed.

Holley’s Geometry in Construction class installs storage barn at Homesteads for Hope

The Holley Middle School/High School Geometry in Construction class worked on May 18 and 19 to install the storage barn they built for Homesteads for Hope (H4H). They transported their “work in progress” to H4H, located on Manitou Road in Ogden, and students installed the barn that will be used to store gardening tools and equipment.

Holley math teacher Russ Albright and technology teacher Dylan Sharpe co-teach Geometry in Construction, with students rotating between math days and building days each week. There are 13 students in this year’s class, with the majority in tenth grade. The class helps students learn how math concepts can be applied to real-world problems to create solutions. Students combined their math and construction skills to build the 16’

x 32’ storage barn for H4H this year.

In the fall, students watched YouTube videos about the H4H farm so they could better understand this organization. Building the storage barn for gardening equipment and tools will help the farm with its gardening operations. H4H is a non-profit community farm that is all-inclusive and provides a place where young adults of all abilities can learn, work, live and grow.

Students planned for the project by working on a scale model of the barn. The barn was staged on a specially built platform at school before it was dismantled and transported to H4H to be installed permanently. This is the fourth barn that Holley students have built on the H4H property in the last few years.

The skills students learn in this class will be carried with them beyond high school to be used in future jobs or to make home repairs. “Students enjoy this class because they can see the real-world application of math,” said Albright. “Many students who don’t traditionally perform well in math class are performing much better in this class. Geometry in Construction students learn how geometric concepts are used in the construction field, which gives them a better understanding of these concepts. This knowledge helps them answer questions on the Regents exam in June.” Regardless of how students perform on any geometry test, they leave class feeling proud of completing a community service project that helps others.

Brockport High School announces Class of 2023 Valedictorian, Salutatorian

Brockport High School (BHS) seniors Emma Hopsicker and Aidan Mayes Poduslo have been named Class of 2023 Valedictorian and Salutatorian, respectively.

On Tuesday, May 16, Emma and Aidan were surprised by their parents, BHS Principal Michael Pincelli, BHS Vice Principal David Iacchetta and Superintendent Sean Bruno to

was wrapping up her seventh grade year at Oliver Middle School.

“We wrote letters about our goals to our future selves,” Emma explained. “I wrote that I would be valedictorian.”

According to Emma’s school counselor, Teri Caldwell, her persistence and drive have helped her to succeed.

“Emma stays on top of things, she was the first in her class to turn in her college applications,” Ms. Caldwell

said. “Paired with her impeccable follow-through, she’s a bright star and will achieve everything she sets her mind to.”

Emma is no stranger to working hard. In addition to taking 10 Advanced Placement and four honors courses over her high school career, she’s in National Honor Society, Brockport Swimming and Diving, Mathletes, Key Club and is a three-time all-around state champion in gymnastics. Emma spent her senior year putting in 30 hours a week at the gym where she coaches and practices as a competitive gymnast.

Emma is heading to the University of Notre Dame this fall and plans to major in finance.

Similarly, Aidan says that being in the top two of his class has been something he’s been working toward since tenth grade.

“I put a lot of work into it,” Aidan said. “It took a while, but I knew it was something I wanted to achieve.”

Over his high school career, Aidan has been involved in a wide range of activities, including Student Council, National Honor Society, Environmental Club, Masterminds and Mathletes.

“Both of these students have worked incredibly hard over the past four years,” Pincelli said. “These awards are a culmination of their hard work and dedication to their studies during their time here at Brockport High School and we are all incredibly proud of them.”

This fall, Aidan plans to attend Rochester Institute of Technology and explore the many opportunities available to students there to form a solid plan for his future.

“I would like to commend Emma and Aidan on their exemplary achievements,” Superintendent Bruno said. “Your hard work is paying off and we are excited to see what the future holds for each of you.”

For those hoping to follow in Aidan’s and Emma’s footsteps, their advice is to have fun, work hard, and “make the most out of every day.”

“My advice to younger students would be to accept challenges and work hard, ask for help when needed, and always show your gratitude,” Emma said.

Aidan agreed, adding that students should “make school something fun – whether it be by hanging out with friends, making strong friendships, learning about your interests, or finding a club or extracurricular activity that inspires you to make the most out of every day!”

Emma and Aidan would like to thank all the teachers and staff at BHS that have helped them achieve their goals.

Both students will address the Class of 2023 during commencement, which will take place on Saturday, June 24, at the SUNY Brockport SERC. Provided information
