on March 14. She gave an emotional performance of “Scars To Your Beautiful” that earned her the golden ticket to the next round of competition in Hollywood. Brianna has cystic fibrosis, which can be very damaging to the lungs, but she has never allowed her disease to defeat or define her. She has been sharing her musical talents since she was a small child. “Singing and cystic fibrosis are on different sides,” Brianna said. “Usually with cystic fibrosis, your lungs are scarred, but my lungs are not scarred, and my voice is not raspy. So I want to inspire people.” After her audition aired, Luke Bryan tweeted, “The obstacles these kids overcome to audition blow me away season after season. #BriannaCollichio is no exception!” Tune in to American Idol Sunday night to see how Brianna’s journey continues.

Hilton native Kristen Schuth earns national recognition in role as GCC Athletic Director Following what has been arguably one of the most challenging years for athletics departments across the nation, the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) has recognized Genesee Community College’s Assistant Vice President of Student Engagement & Inclusion and Director of Athletics, Kristen Schuth as the 2020-21 Junior/ Community College Athletics Director of the Year. In addition to the countless impacts the coronavirus pandemic has had on collegiate communities, NACDA has also had to reinvent its recognition ceremony and will present Schuth with the Director of the Year honor at its 56th Annual Convention virtually in July 2021. Schuth grew up in Hilton and is a member of the Hilton High School Athletic Hall of Fame. At SUNY Brockport, she starred in both softball and basketball, earning letters in both sports all four years as well as being named SUNY Brockport female athlete of the year in two consecutive years. She was an AllAmerican in basketball her senior year. She is a member of the SUNY Brockport Athletic Hall of Fame. Kristen earned her
master’s degree from California University of Pennsylvania and now resides in Spencerport with her husband and two sons. “I’ve always been immensely proud of GCC’s athletes and the strong teaching and coaching staff we have. They make me want to work harder and do more, and so, I love what I get to do and am so grateful for the team I’m surrounded by. With athletics facilities among the finest in the region and partnerships with other areas in the College such as Student Success and Student Engagement & Inclusion, our programs and students have demonstrated growth and strengthened relationships,” said Schuth. “I look around the country and I see the amazing things my counterparts are doing to uplift their athletes and support their programs and I am truly humbled by this award.” Schuth first came to GCC as Head Softball Coach in 2004 and became an Adjunct Instructor in the Department of Health and Physical Education in 2005. Between 2004 and 2010, Schuth compiled a win/loss percentage of .534. Prior to her first season, the softball team went 7-19. But under her leadership, her teams recorded five winning seasons, finished in the top four in Regional
Finals, and produced two NFCA (National Fastpitch Coaches Association) All-Americans. In 2010, she was named WNYAC (Western New York Athletic Conference) Women’s Softball Coach of the Year at GCC. After a short three-year break while she served as Assistant Director of Athletics at Finger Lakes Community College, Schuth returned to GCC as the Director of Athletics in 2013. As part of an effort to more fully integrate Student Engagement and Inclusion initiatives into every aspect of GCC’s student experiences, Schuth added this area to her oversight in 2019 in becoming the Assistant Vice President for Student Engagement & Inclusion, in addition to retaining her role as Director of Athletics. “When I was notified that Kristen would be receiving the Athletics Director of the Year Award from the NACDA, I couldn’t have been more proud,” said Dr. James Sunser, President of Genesee Community College. “Kristen exemplifies what it takes to be a great leader. From the wisdom and knowledge to the skill and experience, her students and her staff look up to her and know she will do what it takes to provide leadership and guidance. Throughout the adversities of the last year, Kristen has

Brockport celebrates Music in our Schools Month
Videos from Brockport’s music programs are available online in celebration of Music in our Schools Month. Provided photo.
March is recognized as Music in our Schools Month, and Brockport Central School District is drawing attention to the music programs it has for students in each of its schools. Throughout the month, the district will be sharing video clips of various peeks inside the music classroom, whether that is a second-grade class at Barclay Elementary, a virtual one-on-one band lesson at the high school, or a chorus rehearsal with middle school students socially distanced in the auditorium. Last year, Brockport Central was honored with the Best Communities for Music Education designation by the National Association of Music Merchants Foundation for the fifth time. This year, the department has demonstrated that honor by going above and beyond for its students, adapting lessons and rehearsals for both in-person and remote learners.

Most homeowners realize the importance of keeping the inside of the house clean, but the exterior of the house is the first thing a prospective buyer notices. Annual cleaning also prolongs the life of exterior siding or masonry, Washing a house is not the enormous task you might imagine, but careful planning and preparation are essential. There are a number of tools, techniques and cleaning agents that can make the job easier. Wait for a warm, dry day when the wind is not blowing to tackle the job. First, protect the areas around the house with plastic sheeting. Set moveable objects away from the house and cover all vents, electrical outlets and outside light fixtures with duct tape and plastic. A careful inspection of the house should follow. Clean any areas with heavy stains (rust, organic or mildew stains or heavy deposits of grime) on masonry surfaces by hand to keep them from running when washed. Most stains can be removed with soap, water, and a scrub brush, Stubborn stains may require a stronger cleaning agent. Luckily, cleaners for almost every kind of stain are readily available. An ordinary garden hose and an automobile brush are usually sufficient for most jobs, but if the surfaces are heavily soiled, you can rent a pressure washer.

Dr. Mona Chitre leads Excellus BlueCross BlueShield’s pharmacy strategy and is responsible for driving affordability, innovation, and operational excellence. She completed her undergraduate and graduate training at Rutgers University and her post-doctoral primary care residency at the VA Hospital in Buffalo. Dr. Chitre, as a local health expert, what are your thoughts on the COVID-19 vaccine? I am excited and impressed by the worldwide efforts and success to thoroughly research, test, and bring to market a highly effective vaccine for the public. The first two vaccines being distributed in the U.S. – Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna – are given in two doses and proven to be 95 percent effective against COVID-19. The Johnson & Johnson (J&J) vaccine is the third COVID-19 vaccine being distributed in the U.S. Is it safe? Why do we need a third vaccine option? All vaccines have the same goal – to protect us. The J&J vaccine was tested thousands of times to ensure safety and is authorized for use in the U.S. It’s important that everyone who wants the COVID-19 vaccine can receive it.
In addition to the Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines, the J&J vaccine is another way to help increase protection against the COVID-19 virus. Since all three vaccines are safe, the best vaccine is the one you have access to. How does the J&J vaccine differ from Moderna’s and Pfizer/BioNTech’s? The J&J vaccine is a single dose which offers maximum protection quicker than Moderna’s and Pfizer/BioNTech’s vaccines. The J&J vaccine has proven to be 66 percent effective at preventing moderate to severe cases of COVID19. With all three vaccine options, no fragment of the live virus is in the vaccine, so the vaccine itself cannot make you sick with COVID-19. Should we be concerned with a less effective rate? No, there is no need to be concerned. The only way to accurately compare the effectiveness of these vaccines is by direct comparison in head-to-head clinical trials, which did not happen across the three vaccine options. Testing took place in different regions, at different points in time, and with varying COVID-19 occurrences. It is best not to compare the effective rates between the vaccines. The data proves that the J&J vaccine is 85 percent effective against severe COVID-19 cases, and 100 percent effective at preventing death from COVID-19. Based on the data, the J&J vaccine is a very safe and effective option.
WAAR hosts radio roundtable on veteran healing Wreaths Across America Radio (WAAR) is holding a series of four roundtable discussions focused on veteran healing through sharing stories of resilience, purpose, and success. This first live discussion will take place on Thursday, March 25, at 7 p.m. and can be heard exclusively on WAAR. The goal of the roundtable series is to help reduce barriers for veterans by supporting generational bonds between service veterans through stories of service and success; destigmatizing issues faced by veterans and asking for help; combating inaccurate perceptions of veterans by discussing the diverse experiences, challenges, and success of service members, veterans, and their families; and connecting veterans with valuable resources. This first roundtable, titled “Service, Resilience, Success,” will include guest panelists: Major General Peter Aylward, U.S. Army, retired, director of The United States of America Vietnam War Commemoration; and Edward McEvoy, National Outreach Program Specialist with the Department of Veterans Affairs Readjustment Counseling
Service. They will be interviewed by United States Army Captain (retired) Joe Reagan and Wreaths Across America’s Executive Director Karen Worcester. “I think this is going to be a meaningful discussion,” said Susan Patten, Program Manager for Wreaths Across America Radio. “As everyone involved has a synergy of mission and a deep understanding of veterans’ needs and the needs of their families. We look forward to this opportunity to offer stories and the importance in addressing veterans’ healing.” You can listen to Wreaths Across America Radio’s 24/7 stream anywhere at www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/radio, via the iHeart Radio app, or download it at the App Store or on Google. The first broadcast in this series is set for Thursday, March 25, with subsequent broadcasts on Thursdays, June 24, September 23, and December 23, 2021. All panel discussions will be held live on WAAR. Provided information
Stage Whispers sets its sights on set design Depending on the production, creating an environment on stage that either replicates or abstractly reimagines the world around us is the mission of any production’s scenic designer. On Thursday, April 1, at 3:30 p.m., the Stage Whispers: Conversations with Theatre Professionals panel will welcome Rob Koharchik for a discussion titled “Behind the Curtain: The Secrets of Scenic Design for the Stage.” Stage Whispers is free and available to the public. It will be conducted via Zoom and can be accessed at http://bit. ly/2OELQYn. Whether placing a simple interior setting on stage or bringing the outside in, a designer has to not only present a vision that aligns with that of their director’s but also has to consider the logistics and physical limitations of the theatres in which they are working. Koharchik will talk about the challenges he has faced, as well as the artistic inspirations that end up in his stage designs. Koharchik has designed several productions at Geva Theatre Center, including the soaring, upper-middle-class
home featured in Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, the decrepit junk shop setting for American Buffalo, and the restaurant in which Slow Food takes place. He has also designed for many regional theatre companies. Koharchik is a two-time recipient of the Creative Renewal Fellowship from the Arts Council of Indianapolis and the Indy Professional Theatre MVP award from the Indianapolis Foundation. Future projects include designing Murder on the Orient Express for Indiana Repertory Theatre and Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, and Niceties for the Gulfshore Playhouse. He is also an associate professor at Butler University where he teaches set and lighting design in the Department of Theatre. The Stage Whispers series is sponsored by The College at Brockport’s Department of Theatre and Music Studies as part of their alliance with Geva Theatre Center. The series gives community members insight into the process of professional theatre artists. For information, call 3952787. Provided information
Brockport choreographers to stream MFA thesis works Whether doing their coursework online, in person, or some hybrid combination, the dancers and choreographers in the SUNY Brockport Department of Dance have been working hard this spring, and the results of their studies are about to be shared with their audiences. Starting on Saturday, April 2, at 7:30 p.m., the MFA Thesis Dance Concert, will stream on an on-demand basis through April 17. Though the event is free, patrons must register online at fineartstix.brockport.edu to receive the link to view the performance. Once a patron has received the link, they may watch the concert at any time during the time the link is live. Donations will also be accepted at the ticketing site. Patrons may contact the Tower Fine Arts Center box office for guidance at 395-2787. One of the two pieces featured in the concert is “Weighted Spaces,” choreographed by graduate student Jocelyn Schimpf. Schimpf says that her research was “centered on implementing a somatic lens of autonomy and mindfulness into dance practices in order to generate safe, efficient movement and promote overall health and well-being.” However, making the piece under significantly different – and challenging – circumstances than she would have ordinarily meant that “another layer of meaning developed
while creating this work, stemming from our relationship to the pandemic. In the dance film, we circulate through a variety of spaces: the theater, home spaces, hallways, stairwells, outside in the grass, in the snow, in groups, and in solo experiences. It presents the cycle of where we started, where – ideally – we were supposed to be, and where we continue to navigate while maintaining a sense of community.” “Well, Now That You Mention It” is a percussive response to the Miles Davis Quintet’s rendition of “It Never Entered My Mind.” Frankie Soldevere’s research “examines the racial misrepresentation of tap dance in the Euro-centric Hollywood films of the 1930s and 40s, and how it affects the portrayal of tap dance in social media and dance films today. [The piece] invites the social, improvisational, and interpersonal aspects of tap dance back into the medium of film to question and celebrate these two conflicting worlds.” Filmed in Albany during the pandemic, Soldevere wants you “to enjoy the rhythmic journey through time and space.” More information about the Fine Arts Series can be found at brockport.edu/academics/fine_arts or on Facebook.

There is mention of a booster vaccine to help protect against the COVID-19 variants. What information is known or suggested about this? Scientists are currently looking into if a booster dose is needed to address variants. It is emerging science at this time, but it is still recommended that you get your vaccine as soon as it is available for you. How do we know that these vaccines are safe when they are so new? COVID-19 vaccines are being held to the same rigorous safety and efficacy standards as all other vaccines – and have been tested thousands of times to ensure safety. The scientific technology used to develop the first COVID-19 vaccines is called mRNA. mRNA has been studied for decades and looks at the genetic makeup of the virus, and then uses that genetic code to teach our cells how to trigger an immune response to combat the virus. The platform that is being used to produce this vaccine has been studied and used for over a decade, and we had a jump-start on the COVID-19 vaccine because it’s a coronavirus, which we’ve studied in the past. Are you saying that getting the COVID-19 vaccine cannot make a person get COVID-19? Exactly. The COVID-19 vaccines that are being distributed in the U.S. do not use any fragment of the live virus and cannot make you sick with COVID-19. The vaccines teach your body how to recognize the virus and then create defenses against it. What about the side effects of the vaccine? Side effects are possible with any type of vaccination. The most common issue is a sore arm, which can happen with most vaccines. Other reactions include fatigue and headache. It is important to note that the vaccine is not making you sick, but this is the body’s natural immune system response. Also, I know many people with seasonal allergies are concerned with taking the vaccine. If you have seasonal allergies (e.g., pollen, dust, ragweed, etc.), the vaccine should not cause any issues. But anyone with allergic reactions to other vaccinations should talk with your doctor to see what is best for you. We know that vaccines were given to high-risk groups first. The data suggests that the number of deaths in nursing homes is going down by more than 60 percent. Do you feel this is because of the vaccine? Absolutely. Nursing home residents were among the first people to receive the vaccine. The data shows how powerful the vaccines are against the virus, which is encouraging to hear. Reports like these make me so hopeful as the vaccines continue to rollout. I’m excited for my children to be reunited with their grandparents. I’m optimistic about the future.

Emergency heating assistance available for struggling households The New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance recently announced that an additional $15 million is available to help eligible New Yorkers facing a home heating emergency. Households that have already received emergency assistance from the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) this winter can apply for a second round of benefits if they are in danger of running out of fuel or having their service disconnected when the statewide moratorium on utility shutoffs expires at the end of March. “Even with the spring season nearing, many parts of New York will continue to experience frigid temperatures for weeks to come,” said Mike Hein, commissioner of the state Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, which administers HEAP. “This additional funding will help ensure struggling New Yorkers, including the most vulnerable among us, can continue to heat their homes until the cold weather breaks.”
Additionally, the deadline to apply for both the regular and emergency HEAP benefits was extended until April 30. With the initial round of HEAP benefits, both rounds of emergency assistance, households can receive up to $2,371 in assistance. Applications for emergency HEAP are accepted at local departments of social services in person or by telephone. A list of offices by county can be found at https://otda.ny.gov/ programs/heap/contacts/. Households are ordinarily only eligible to receive one regular HEAP benefit each winter and then one emergency HEAP benefit in the event of an energy crisis. Now, households that have already received a regular and emergency benefit can apply for additional assistance if they are faced with the possibility of having a utility shut off or running out of heating fuel without the available resources to replenish it.
Statewide demand for HEAP remains high. This winter, more than 1.3 million households secured regular HEAP benefits, with an additional 30,000 households receiving the first emergency benefit to address a home crisis or life-threatening heating emergency. The amount a household receives from HEAP depends on their income, household size and how the home is heated. A family of four can have a household income of up to $60,226 per year, or $5,019 per month, and still qualify for help. New York State Public Service Law provides temporary protections for essential utility and municipal services during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through March 31, utility companies and municipalities may not shut off service for nonpayment and must offer a deferred payment agreement to cover any overdue balance. Provided information

NY Farm Bureau members rank second in country for farmer food donations New York Farm Bureau members continued to make generous food donations during a challenging year for so many families in need. The American Farm Bureau Federation recently recognized New York Farm Bureau’s Young Farmers and Ranchers (YF&R) program for its efforts to donate more than eight million pounds of food to the regional food banks across the state last year. That was the second highest donation total in the country for 2020, behind Florida. NYFB’s YF&R program was awarded a $250 check for its efforts that will be donated to Feeding New York State. Due to the pandemic, the normal gleaning and on-farm collection events could not be conducted. Instead, farmers worked with producers and dairy manufacturers to increase their donations as there was a surge in demand at food banks across the state. Many county Farm Bureaus collaborated with member farms, food processors, other agricultural organizations, and their food banks and pantries to conduct dairy product drive-thru events to distribute the food to those in need. The 8,028,541 pounds of food collected, about a million more pounds than in 2019, was through the “Harvest for All” donation program, a nationwide annual farm donation partnership linking Farm Bureau and Feeding America in each state. In New York, NYFB’s YF&R Committee and Feeding New York State administer the statewide donation partnership. The food is then distributed among the 10 Feeding America food banks throughout the state.
In addition, county Farm Bureau members collected $3,500 from other members in 2020 that was donated for the purchase of milk along with a separate drive to purchase hams during the holiday season. Members also volunteered more than 700 hours of their time to gather donated dairy and produce and assist with the large food distribution sites. Christina Kohler, New York Farm Bureau Young Farmers and Ranchers Chair, said, “New York’s farmers responded in a time of need, even when their own farms were facing significant market and pricing disruptions related to the pandemic. I am incredibly proud of our members who always step up to help people in their community and across the state.” In the past 16 years of the Harvest for All Program, farms in New York have given around 114 million pounds of food to support the work by the regional food banks in our state. That translates into more than 90 million meals. Dan Egan, Executive Director of Feeding New York State, said, “New York’s food banks are so grateful to our farm partners for another fantastic year. It is remarkable that in a year marked by challenging weather and dominated by a historic pandemic, New York’s farmers continued their tradition of generous giving to our neighbors in need. We could not do our jobs if farmers did not do theirs. We at Feeding New York State thank you from the bottom of our hearts.” Provided information

Canalway National Heritage Corridor. “As New York begins to reopen and return to normal, we’re thrilled to be working with canalside communities and partners to uplift local economies and remind New Yorkers of the tremendous historic significance and opportunity offered by the Erie Canal,” said Brian U. Stratton, Director of the New York State Canal Corporation. “Alongside the efforts of Governor Cuomo to reinvigorate upstate cities and towns along the canals through the Reimagine the Canals program, these events will bring New Yorkers together in a safe way and bring a much-needed boost to communities along the length of the Canal.” Applications are due by April 16, 2021 and events must take place from May 1 through October 31, 2021. A minimum one-to-one match is required. Eligible events must comply with New York State COVID-19 guidelines. For instructions and an online application, visit www.eriecanalway.org.

With New York State beginning to open more and an increase in gathering sizes allowed in public spaces, Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor, in partnership with the NYS Canal Corporation, has opened a call for applications for 2021 canal-related event funding. Municipalities and nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations may apply for $500 sponsorships for events that promote or celebrate the distinctive historic, cultural, or recreational resources throughout the Canalway Corridor. Events that actively include or serve people with disabilities or people from underserved populations are encouraged to apply. “We are eager for a return of safe events that showcase New York State’s extraordinary canal heritage and recreational resources. Pre-pandemic research shows that events and tours draw hundreds of thousands of people to the canal each year and deliver $1.3 billion annually in economic benefits to communities,” said Bob Radliff, Executive Director of the Erie
by Kristina Gabalski First of all, happy spring! Spring is here and the garden to-do list is long. If you still have pruning chores to do, don’t put them off. Many trees and shrubs benefit from pruning before spring growth begins. The University of Minnesota Extension says pruning is done for many reasons. It changes the form and growth of a plant, can be considered preventive maintenance for both insect and disease damage, and helps prevent many problems especially during the formative years for a tree or shrub. The late dormant season (right now) is the best time for pruning many trees and shrubs. To prune for plant health, remove dead or dying branches injured by disease, severe insect infestation, animals, storms, and other damage. Remove branches that rub together as well as branch stubs. Pruning also helps maintain the intended purposes for a plant in your landscape. It helps to encourage flower and fruit development, helps to maintain dense hedges, and encourages or maintains a desired plant form or special garden form. Remember, for most landscapes, a plant’s natural form is best. Avoid shearing shrubs into tight geometrical forms, unless you need them confined and trained for a specific purpose. When plants are properly pruned, it’s actually hard to tell they have been pruned. Pruning can also be important for safety. Remove dead branches and have any hazardous trees taken down. Prune out weak or narrow-angled tree branches overhanging your home, parking area, sidewalk, or any place where a falling limb could injure people or damage property. Prune shrubs or tree branches that obscure entry to your home for security purposes.
by Kristina Gabalski Here are some general guidelines for pruning. In addition to dead, broken, and diseased branches, remove any branches that are growing downward. Remove one branch if two limbs are crossed or tangled. Remove limbs that are larger in diameter than the trunk. Remove suckers that are coming up from the roots or around the base of the trunk. Remove vigorous vertical branches, called waterspouts. Remove large limbs first, starting at the top of the tree. The most common type of pruning cut is a thinning cut which removes the entire branch at the branch collar. This type of cut is most recommended. Make pruning cuts close to the branch collar. The branch collar grows from the stem tissue around the base of the branch at the trunk. All pruning cuts should be wood on the branch side of the collar. For larger limbs, start the cut on the underside of the limb to avoid tearing the bark. This should be done about 18 inches from the trunk. Make a second cut farther out on the branch and cut until it breaks free. The final cut can be made just beyond the branch collar, but don’t leave a stub. Leaving the branch collar intact promotes healthy sealing of the wound. Late winter to early spring is the time to prune apple trees, including crabapples, mountain ash, and hawthorn. Dogwood, smokebush, and ninebark can also be pruned in spring before new growth begins. Clematis and shrub roses can be pruned back to live wood and late blooming spirea and snowball hydrangeas can also be pruned prior to growth starting. Wait to prune early flowering trees and shrubs like flowering cherry, flowering plum, azalea, forsythia, Juneberry, lilac, magnolia, and early blooming spirea until after blooming.

Phone option needed to schedule vaccine shots I know people who want the COVID shots and they keep saying that people have to go online in order to get an appointment. Why is it that after all this time people can’t just use a phone and someone at the COVID places would be there to answer a call? I say this because I know there are a lot of people who for whatever reason do not have a computer. Maybe they don’t know how to use a computer. If they could call instead of bothering someone to use their computer to help them get an appointment somewhere, they would feel so much better. These are the people who are left out of getting an appointment and don’t know when they will. So many of these places fill up fast. What about these people who want the shot and are without a computer? By this time, don’t you think they could have a few people who could answer a phone at each place so they could get their shots? By the way, I have had my first shot and will get my second soon.

2021 Orleans County 4-H Public Presentations go virtual For the first time, 4-H Public Presentations in Orleans County were held virtually on February 6, 13, and 20. The decision to go to an online-only format this year was made to ensure the health and safety of both participants and evaluators during the ongoing pandemic, Kristina Gabalski, CCE Orleans 4-H Program Coordinator said. Nearly 40 youth ages five to 18 took part and adapted well to the new format. “They did an amazing job, whether they needed to set up for a demonstration or decided to use slides or PowerPoints, the presentations were excellent,” Gabalski said. Some presentations were especially well suited to the online Zoom format. “Three youth presented on horse-related topics and were able to be with a live horse in the stable to help show and demonstrate what they were discussing, something which would be difficult in the Ed Center at the 4-H Fairgrounds where the event normally takes place in person,” Gabalski explained. “Another youth, 12-year-old Amelia Barton of Middleport, did a make-up demonstration, and Zoom allowed us to follow her up-close as she applied make-up to her face.” 4-H Public Presentations help youth practice the skills needed to present before an audience. “Youth who participated this year were able to learn skills related to virtual presentations, which have now become very common for both professionals and students,” Gabalski noted. “Youth can present on any topic of their choice, including an ongoing 4-H project.” This year’s event covered a wide range of topics. Elevenyear-old Tresza Vinca of Holley did a recitation of the nonsense poem “Jabberwocky” by Lewis Carrol and was joined later by her nine-year-old brother, Marcus, for a dramatic interpretation of “The Owl and the Pussycat,” by Edward Lear. Their 14-year-old sister, Ariel, did a demonstration on how to make your own sewing pattern. Ariel explained that she is self-taught in the skill, utilizing books as a guide. She said she does have an interest in clothing design.
Luke Gregoire, 13, of Murray, chose a timely topic – “How Toilet Paper is Made,” and 13-year-old Carissa Klossner of Clarendon demonstrated the Japanese Art of Origami – making a bird out of paper. She said sometimes she makes mistakes in the process, but that can lead to very interesting and unexpected creations. Several youths chose cookingrelated demonstrations, which included apple pie making by 13-year old Allison Merle of Holley and making hot cocoa bombs by 10-year old Jackson McGrath of Medina. Adele Mathes, age 9 of Barre, changed her topic from Anne Frank to her grandfather, who passed away early in February. Adele spoke of how much she learned from her grandScreenshot of 18-year old Will Gregoire of Murray. Will made his final 4-H Public Presentafather and how much she will miss tion this year on a topic that he says fascinates him - the internal combustion engine. him. She discussed his many talents, including crafting historically correct shoes for Civil War re-enactors and family trips to the mites, woodworking, horse bits, and so much more; the presentations were all very impressive.” Adirondack mountains. Youth work to improve their presentation skills from Cloverbuds (ages five to seven) were also part of the event. Their topics included making a personal pizza, Tae year to year and receive constructive feedback from teams Kwon Do, and changing a baby diaper. Five-year-old McK- of volunteer evaluators, Gabalski said. “I can’t thank our enna Richardson of Barre demonstrated how to change a evaluators enough, we could not do this without their help, diaper on a doll, but she is getting some real-life experience and they bring so much expertise, knowledge, and experiwith a new baby brother. When asked what might be the ence to the process.” Participants will be able to move on to Western District best diaper available on the market, McKenna responded, 4-H Public Presentations in Erie County and Region 1 4-H “My brother seems to prefer the expensive kind.” “These are just a few of the dozens of topics covered,” Horse Communications (virtual), both planned for April.
