This graduation special
section is made possible
through the efforts of many
people.
Contributors from The
Livingston County News
include editor Ben Beagle,
sports editor Chris Metcalf,
office manager Colleen
Kemp, and staff writer Matt
Leader. The advertising
staff and art department of
The Daily News in Batavia
also assisted.
We also appreciate the
helpful representatives
from each of the school
districts featured here and
photographers who took
class pictures and individu-
al senior portraits that were
contributed to this keep-
sake edition. Some we have
worked with for years, and
others went through this
process for the first time
with this edition.
The school representa-
tives are the unsung heroes
of this edition which would
not be possible without
their contributions. Class
lists and biographies of top
seniors were gathered by
communications or ad-
ministrative staff at each
district.
They also promptly re-
sponded as the inevitable
hiccups arose that come
with putting together such
an extensive section. When
we needed to double-check
a name, get a better quality
picture, or had a question
about submitted informa-
tion their prompt respons-
es allowed work to contin-
ue.
Several schools also
shared photographs high-
lighting their seniors’ ac-
tivities. Additional photo-
graphs from The Livingston
County News and our con-
tributors were also used.
Here, it should be not-
ed that the class lists ap-
pearing in this special sec-
tion identify candidates
for graduation from each
school’s senior class as of
June 11. The students who
meet the qualifications to
graduate this weekend may
differ from the published
list.
Your teen may be graduating soon, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to let go. Your graduate needs you now just as much as ever.
Graduation is a time for nostalgia,
excitement, but also of temptation
By Council on Alcohol and Substance
Abuse of Livingston County
H
igh school graduation is
an important milestone
in a young person’s life,
and the season is often marked
with parties, outings and other
celebrations.
During this time there are
plenty of opportunities where
teens may contemplate taking
risks, especially drinking and
drug use. At graduation time,
teens may feel more pressure
to celebrate by partying with
illicit drugs, alcohol, or even
prescription drugs.
Unfortunately, too many
teens still say alcohol is easy to
get – and a Livingston County
youth survey shows that most
of those who drink alcohol do
not pay for it. Instead, they
get it from older friends, from
family members, at parties or
they take it from home with-
out permission.
Further, once kids start
drinking, most engage in
“binge” drinking, meaning
that they have five or more
drinks in a short timespan
with a goal of getting drunk.
2019 High School Graduation
Teen drinking is linked to
injury and risky behavior. We
can reduce underage drinking
by stopping easy access to
alcohol.
The legal drinking age pro-
tects kids. Did you know that
since laws established 21 as
the minimum drinking age,
the likelihood that a 15- to
20-year-old driver will be in-
volved in a fatal car crash has
dropped by more than half?
A U.S. Surgeon General re-
port showing that about 5,000
kids younger than 21 years old
die each year from alcohol-re-
lated injury, including crash-
es, homicides and suicides.
Talking to your kids about
the harmful effects of alco-
hol and drugs is a first step
towards the development of
healthy lifestyle patterns.
Your teen may be gradu-
ating soon, but that doesn’t
mean it’s time to let go.
Your graduate needs you
now just as much as ever.
Talking to teens
There are many ways to
help keep your child safe and
healthy:
n Reinforce your expecta-
tions.
n Encourage your teens to
make each moment count.
n Provide safe alternatives.
n Be aware and ask ques-
tions.
n Set a good example.
Create a safe
graduation season
Here are six tips for parents
to help keep their teen safe
and make this season one to
remember for all the right
reasons.
n Set curfews. Teen car
crashes and deaths increase
exponentially late at night.
Know where your teen is, how
long he will be there, when he
will be leaving, who is there,
and who is supervising the
event.
n Be up when they come
home. A teen’s curfew should
never exceed the parent’s
ability to stay up.
n Clearly communicate
your expectations. Talk to
your child about the dangers
of drinking and driving and
getting in the car with a drunk
driver. Consider role playing a
few scenarios. Research shows
that parents who discuss pos-
sible scenarios and build their
teen’s knowledge about what
to do should a situation arise,
increase the chances of their
teen’s safe decision-making.
n Keep the party local.
Don’t be tempted to allow
your children to celebrate at
a far-away location, such as a
beach or cabin. Allowing your
teen to take off to a remote
spot with no supervision cre-
ates unnecessary risk.
n Talk with your teen. Ask
them how they are feeling
about graduating? What are
they most excited about?
What are they most nervous
about?
n Help your teen enjoy
their graduation without
drinking or using drugs. Lay
down rules that will help cre-
ate everlasting memories.

Salutatorian follows her
passion for agriculture
Geneseo Central School
Class of 2019 salutatorian Heidi
Phelps, the daughter of Amy
Phelps and Craig Phelps, will
attend Purdue University to
pursue a degree in agricultural
systems management.
“This is where my passion is,”
says Heidi, who hopes to parlay
her education into a job in the
agricultural sector.
For her leadership and aca-
demic achievement, Heidi was
recognized with a Livingston
County Youth Board Teen
Recognition Award (2017 and
2019), The University of Notre
Dame Junior of the Year Award,
The Smith Book Award, The
Bausch and Lomb Honorary
Science Award, and as a Living-
ston County Dairy Princess in
2018-2019.
Heidi was a member of var-
sity teams in soccer, basketball,
track and field, softball and golf.
Her extra-curricular activities
included National Honor Soci-
ety (president and vice-presi-
dent), Student Council (Board
of Education representative and
president), Do-Gooders Club
(secretary), Mathletics, Tech
CLASS LEADERS
seasons. She was a LCAA All-
Star three times and was named
to the Exceptional Senior Team
in 2018. Grace was also a mem-
ber of the 2018 LCN Elite Eleven
Soccer Team.
Grace also excelled as a varsi-
ty basketball player. She earned
three varsity letters in basketball
and was recognized as a LCAA
All-Star twice and as an Excep-
tional Senior. Grace was includ-
ed as a member of the LCN Fab
Ten for basketball.
Despite an incredibly full
academic and athletic schedule,
Grace found time to volunteer
as a coach for Geneseo Central
Summer Camps and Micro
Soccer. She worked at Dunkin’
Donuts in her “spare” time.
During her high school ca-
Wars, and The Tiny House Proj-
ect for a homeless veteran.
Heidi’s community service
and activities include compet-
ing as a member of the Inter-
scholastic High School Eques-
trian Association, Livingston
County 4-H Club, Salvation
Army bell ringing, student coor-
dinator for the United Way Day
of Caring, and promotion of the
dairy industry through the Liv-
ingston County Dairy Princess
Program.

reer, Grace has learned that,
“You can’t do it all, so don’t
feel bad for saying, ‘No’, some-
times.”
As advice for incoming
freshmen, Grace would like
them to know that you need to
“prioritize your time to be able
to do things you want. Choose
to be happy. And, always take
action.”

involved in as many ways as
possible. Try a range of activities
because in our small school

and mathematics.
In high school, Jenna was
a varsity athlete in soccer,
basketball, and track and
field. In recognition of her
leadership, she was named a
captain for girls varsity track.
She has been a member of
the National Honor Society.
Jenna has served as a
volunteer at Teresa House
in Geneseo where she has
cared for terminally ill resi-
dents. She also volunteers as
a coach for the elementary
track and field camp at Gen-
eseo during the summer.
Jenna’s Lesson Learned:
“Do not be afraid to fail. Fail-
ure is inevitable. It is merely
an obstacle or a series of
obstacles on our journey in
pursuit of success. The beau-
ty of failure is that it is imper-
manent. We can get back up
and start over and over until
we succeed – no matter how
long it takes.”
Jenna’s Advice to Fresh-
men: “Do things for yourself,
not because other people
want you to or because you
want people to like you.
Whatever you do from here
on out, it has to be for you. At
the end of the day, when all is
said and done, the only one
left that matters is you.”

Valedictorian finds his
passion and jumps in
Driven, focused, and ready
to take on college, Samuel Gil-
bert has spent the last several
years honing in on his career
pathway.
Sam learned about actuar-
ial science and never looked
back. He has since met with
individuals in the field and
verified that he dreams of sta-
tistical charts and analyzing
risk potential.
Sam is an example of find-
ing your passion and then
jumping in headfirst. Passion
paired with his intelligence
make him an academic force
to be reckoned with.
Outside of the classroom,
Sam has matured into a self-
less and kind young man who
has truly broken out of his
shell.
Sam is a busy student, hav-
ing taken 12 Advanced Place-
ment classes throughout high
school.
Often the first selected by
teachers and counselors to
provide academic help to oth-
ers, Sam began breaking into
the social world around the
start of his junior year. After
school consisted of meeting
with teachers to enrich his
learning, meeting with stu-
dents to enrich their learning,
or meeting with math club in
order to elevate their compet-
itiveness and earn a spot at the
New York State Mathematics
Competition. Since 9th grade,
Sam has been an integral part

performance on the American
Chemical Society’s National
Olympiad, having placed first
in the Rochester Section.
It should be highlighted
that Sam also scored a perfect

Sam is constantly engaged
and thirsty for knowledge and

Outside of academics, Sam
has worked with his local
homeless shelter, preparing
meals and bringing in outside
donations of food. Within his
temple, he has worked as a
Hebrew teaching assistant
since 2014, when he was only
13 years old.
Sam is also an actor. He was
cast in a total of eight drama
and musical productions in
high school, including “The
Addams Family” and “The
Curious Savage.”
In addition, Sam has been

freshman.
As a testament to his char-
acter, Sam was inducted into
National Honor Society and
the Spanish National Honor
Society as a junior.
Most recently, Sam became
a Link Crew Leader where his
skills in working with others
were put to the test; however,
he passed with a flawless per-
formance.
Sam is very much ready for
the next level.
Sam will attend the Univer-
sity of Nebraska at Lincoln to
pursue a degree in actuarial
science.

As you accept your diploma ...
ESSAY
GORDIE
ALLEN
Y
oung people across up-
state New York will line up
to accept their high school
diplomas during the next two
weekends.
Graduation exercises will
often be followed by parties
for the new grads with much
congratulating accompanied
by hand shaking and hugs
from mom and grandma. The
diploma, in many cases will
eventually be filed among
important papers or, as in my
case, relegated to the bottom of
my sock drawer.
This diploma, once covet-
ed, is seldom seen again until
someone discovers its final
resting place. Diplomas of doc-
tors and lawyers are more likely
to be framed and are hung
on an office wall as evidence
that the person named has the
proper credentials to practice.
The advice of the com-
mencement address is often
lost in the excitement. Like ad-
vice given the day you get mar-
ried, you hear the words one
day and are expected to begin
living them the next.
Having lived through both
of these events I would like to
share some advice:
Graduates! ... Let me caution
you. You are on the edge of
your own life changing event.
Life is about to go into warp
speed for you. Up until now
you’ve been fed, changed, put
out to play and called in to go
to bed and someone has done
your laundry and made sure
you got to all your dental ap-
pointments.
HELLO! This is coming to an
end.
Soon you will be in charge of
your own life.
Welcome to baptism by fire.
Hundreds of students across Livingston County will step forward and accept high school diplomas
during the next two weeks. Along the way they will begin voluminous amounts of advice.
Thinking of what I could
write that would get your atten-
tion I decided to give you what I
feel is the truth ... and here it is:
All too soon you ALL will be
cast out onto the highway of
life along with millions of other
recent graduates all with sim-
ilar educations. Many of you
may find you are competing for
the same jobs.
There will be only one dif-
ference between you and the
other guy. You will be the only
person alive who has sole cus-
tody of your life. That is your
particular life, not just your life
that may be spent at a desk, or
in front of a computer, not a
life defined by a uniform, nor a
life working in a laboratory, on
an assembly line, and not just
a life that may be in your mind.
It is a life that will encompass
your soul.
People don’t talk about the
soul much any more. It’s so
much easier to write a resume
than to craft your spirit.
A resume is cold comfort on
a winter’s night, or when you’re
sad or broke or lonely, or when
you’ve received test results that
are not so good.
At this moment, perched
on the edge of your life, having
been recently tooled in your
2019 High School Graduation
new credentials of knowledge,
I would ask that you consider
these things about yourself.
You each possess an incred-
ible power to change your life
and the world by changing
your attitude. As you matric-
ulate this life you will find that
your attitudes are the only
string you have that YOU can
“pull.”
You are never powerless as
long as you remember the po-
tential your attitude holds over
your life.
As you seniors leave the
stage following commence-
ment exercises you may feel a
pull toward those people most
important in your life - some
of them probably sharing the
moment and the excitement
of this big day – and you will
want to hug them. Be aware
that they represent the world
outside yourself.
If your education at home
and in school has been a suc-
cess, then the world beyond
you will expand. Hopefully,
your education has outfitted
you to not only “fit in” but to
engage life outside of yourself.
Albert Einstein expressed it
well when he said: “A person
first starts to live when he can
live outside himself, when he
BEN BEAGLE/LIVINGSTON COUNTY NEWS FILE PHOTO
can have as much regard for his
fellow man as he does for him-
self. We are here to do good.
It is the responsibility of any
human being to aspire to do
something worthwhile to make
this world a better place than
the one he found. Life is a gift,
and if we fail to contribute, we
fail to adequately answer the
question – Why are we here?”
Take time to discover your
passions. Tonight, tomorrow,
this summer and all through
your life, think about them and
what they are.
I’m talking about those in-
terests that really mean some-
thing to you – not drugs, nor
alcohol ... and not computer
games or your ever present cell
phone. But life-giving passions
that make it worthwhile for you
to make sacrifices. Passions
that will last a lifetime, passions
that when realized will steer
your decisions and continue to
add quality to your life. Don’t
live without including them in
your journey. And decide to try
and choose a life of work that
fulfills some of those passions.
And finally – Get a life!
A real life, not a manic pur-
suit of your next promotion, or
a bigger paycheck, or a larger
house or that perfect partner.
All of these will come to you in
due time. Do you think it would
matter so very much about
these things if you blew an an-
eurysm or discovered a suspi-
cious lump in your body?
Get a life in which you can
discover the sweetness in the
air on a cold winter’s morning,
a life that gets excited over an-
other’s accomplishments, or
a life that can understand the
grace that comes in the mo-
ment you realize that all good
things must come to an end
and that life, for all its wonder,
is indeed fragile.
George Bernard Shaw said
it well: “Life isn’t about finding
yourself. Life is about creating
yourself.”
It doesn’t take a trip around
the world.
And then there are those
words by that prolific author
“anonymous” who is supposed
to have once said: Remember
that life is not a journey to the
grave with the intention of ar-
riving safely in a pretty and well
preserved body, but rather to
skid in broadside, thoroughly
used up, totally worn out, and
loudly proclaiming “WOW,
WHAT A RIDE!”
Go forth to live, laugh, love
and serve.

Memorable spring season for Keshequa softball, baseball
By CHRIS METCALF

NUNDA — It was a banner
spring season for the Kes-
hequa softball and baseball
teams.
While the baseball team,
coached by Abijah Gath, un-
seated Geneseo for the LCAA
D-III title, the softball team
claimed a share of the divi-
sional title and also went on to
become one of three Living-
ston Conference teams to win
a Class C sectional crown as
the Lady Indians defeated No.
1 Lyndonville 10-8 for the ‘C3’
title. The title game victory
came a few days after topping
Finger Lakes West champ
South Seneca by an 11-7 count
in the semifinals.
Head coach Bill Mann felt
it was his team’s hard work
and passion that pulled them
through for the block of wood.
“The girls have worked
hard during the past year and
I couldn’t be prouder of their
dedication and desire,” coach
Mann said. “Their work paid
off, and they reached a goal. I
am so happy for them.”
A few days after beating a

Letchworth and Warsaw were

Playing C1 champion
Letchworth right out of the
gates was no easy chore and
trailing 2-0 heading into the
sixth inning created an even
bigger challenge.
But Mann’s team would
refuse to quit as they started a
spark that set a fire by scoring
three runs in the bottom of the
sixth inning and they eventu-
ally secured the thrilling 3-2
victory.
“We have preached one
pitch at a time, one out at a
time and one inning at a time,

them not give up, or focus on
the past, and keep fighting
