For the past few years, around Valentine’s Day, Lucky C has hosted a campaign to support local first responders. They call it “Hearts on Fire.” Lucky C clients show love and support for their favorite horses by purchasing different sized hearts. These translate into points, which later translate into dollars. One hundred percent of the proceeds go directly to Gardiner Fire and Rescue. This year they raised over $1,600. In the picture above, the 2020 “Valentine’s Horse” winner, the beloved “Texas Tea,” owned by Lucky C and leased by Farrah Sherwood, is on the right. Runner up, “Arrow,” with owner Noelle Parsons, is on the left. Gary and Susan Clark, owners of Lucky C Stables, want to express their gratitude to those who joined in the fun and helped support their local first responders. Submitted by Susan Clark.

  • Rochester One Hundred Years Ago
    Edited by DEXTER PERKINS, City Historian and BLAKE MCKELVEY, Assistant City Historian VOL. 1 JULY, 1939 No. 3 ROCHESTER ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO THE CITY AND ITS PEOPLE In 1839 the United States was still a preponderantly agricultural nation, a nation of small farmers. In the whole settled area of our country, which then extended hardly beyond the Mississippi-except for such states as Arkansas, Missouri, and Louisiana-there were only fifteen cities with a population of over 20,000 people. The largest, New York, was about the size of Rochester today. The next largest, Baltimore, had only slightly over 100,000, while New Orleans ran a close third with Philadelphia and Boston as fourth and fifth. In 1839 the region of Western New York, and still more, of course, the states between the mountain barrier of the Appalachians and the Great River, could still be spoken of without absurdity as the West. In this Western region cities were, of course, even less numer- ous and important than along the seaboard. Chicago had its future all before it. Detroit and Saint Louis were as yet of minor importance. The largest urban communities were New Orleans, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh, with a population of approximately 100,000, 45,000, and 30,000, respectively. In such a situation as this, young Rochester, with 20,000 inhabitants, could hold up its head proudly and indulge in rosy dreams that it might become one of the great cities of America. The growth of this local community of ours had, indeed, been remarkable. In 1839 it was less than thirty years since Hamlet Scran- tom had come to Rochester to become the first permanent settler on ROCHESTER HISTORY! published quarterly by the Rochester Public Library, dis- tributed free at the Library, by mail 25 cents per year.

As United States Senator from 1833 to 18M+, he established a record for political integrity, honesty, and courage that made him a valuable leader of the Democratic Party and gained for him the respect of the Whig opposition. Wright's position in Washington as a presidential liaison in the Senate caused him to play an influential role in both the Jackson and Van Bur9:1 administrations. He maintained a highly developed sense of political Idealism throughout his career. Although Wright was aware of the snares of political corruption that continually beset national politicians, his record remained irreproachable and untainted.^ The conditions of political life during the Jacksonian era were an affront to Wright's sense of idealism- Gradually disillusioned by the political .

Partisan newspapers sprang up rapidly throughout the country in large cities and small towns, coastal ports and western settlements. For many of their readers, these newspapers embodied the party itself. The papers introduced readers to the leaders of their parties, disseminated party principles and creeds, and informed them of the seemingly nefarious machinations of their foes in other parties. They provided a common set of political ideals and a common political language that linked like- minded residents of distant communities, otherwise unknown to each other, in a cohesive organization. In the North, the focus of this dissertation, these newspapers interpreted regional economic development and local political issues within the context of their partisan ideals, providing guidance to readers as they confronted the parochial issues of their community.

Hudson discovered the river known by his name in 1609. During the next ten years many Dutch ships were in New York waters, and Manhattan Island had a small settlement of traders. Magisterial authority, if there was any in this little trading community, probably followed the rules of the sea, with sea captains as arbiters, and with the certainty that capital offenses would be referred to the home government.
