No decision made yet on 2021 Spencerport Carnival The Spencerport Volunteer Firemen’s Association would like to update the community on the status of the annual carnival. We are grateful for the many messages from people who are anxiously waiting to hear whether we will be having an event this year. Throughout the pandemic, we could not be more appreciative of our community’s generous support and understanding. The Firemen’s Association relies heavily on this event as one of our largest and most important fundraisers. We spend months preparing for the carnival and the funds raised during this event are used to help us maintain our 100% volunteer department. Throughout the past few months, the leadership of the Association has been in conversation with our ride provider, Hammerl Amusements, on the feasibility of holding a carnival this year. No decision has been made at this time, however,

given the current pandemic restrictions that are still in effect state-wide, the Firemen’s Association is exploring other fundraising options in the event that the carnival cannot proceed this year. A decision to host a carnival will be made at the end of April and we are hopeful that restrictions and guidance surrounding the pandemic will be favorable to allowing this widely attended community event. We will keep everyone updated through our social media platforms and our website. Thank you for your continued support for the members of your 100% volunteer fire department. Please be safe, and stay healthy. Chris Damon, President Spencerport Volunteer Firemen’s Association

Bridge closure committee forming in Brockport Beginning in the summer of 2022, the Main Street lift bridge in downtown Brockport will be closed for repairs for up to 18 months. The Village of Brockport is looking for people with creative ideas to serve on a planning committee tasked with drawing visitors downtown and promoting the business district on both sides of the canal during the bridge closure. Appointments to the “Bridging the Closure Committee” will be made in May 2021, the committee is expected to begin meeting in early summer 2021. Prior to the formation of the committee, the organizers will be meeting with Fairport and Spencerport individuals who have already been through the bridge closure experience. The pandemic situation permitting, it is hoped that by June committees will be able to meet in person. Interested persons should fill out a position interest

Byron-Bergen Math League finishes top of growing division Byron-Bergen’s defending interscholastic mathematics champions have done it again, but bigger than before. Led by veteran coach, math teacher Jon DiLaura, the Bees placed first in three of four competitions against 14 other teams. This is the first year that the Genesee Region has combined both north and south districts, doubling the number of teams. “Byron-Bergen’s math team has done incredibly, all season long,” said DiLaura. “We have some new people; we have our veterans. They’ve all worked hard.” Like many team competitions, health and safety restrictions have altered the math league season. “We are used to going to Genesee Community College and taking the test all together, with all the different schools,” said senior Hope Her-

som, a four-year veteran of the team. “We had to do a lot of interaction online but it’s cool that we could still get together,” said Sara Goodman, also a senior and four-year veteran of the team. Over a series of rounds, the competitors solve math questions in the advanced topics such as logarithms, trigonometry, systems of equations, and matrices. The test results are tabulated based on a point system. The Byron-Bergen team completed the season with a total of 464 points. “Everyone on the team works really hard and puts in the practice,” said Hersom. “When the competition comes around, we all score well and place first.” Provided information
