“I am so proud of (Safe Haven). It is one of the great pieces of Jewish heritage in this country, and indeed the world,” Congressman Katko said. “When I was in Israel last year, I mentioned it to some of the folks in the Israeli Cabinet and they were really fascinated by it.” Fort Ontario and Safe Haven are “a great jewel of our area,” he added.

“Walt Julian’s (Ross) World, this is his ‘Forever 10 Party’ to raise (childhood) cancer awareness,” Ruth Wallace, organizer, said. Julian was in the hospital and unable to attend last year’s event. His mother, Kristi, shared the activities with him via a video chat on her phone. This year, she shared the 10-year-old’s final wishes with the hundreds that descended on Breitbeck Park.

“I have found throughout the past four years that it is crucial not to let a number define you,” Valedictorian Jenna Ballard said. “Your class rank, grades, test scores, et cetera, do not reflect how smart you are. They do not, and should not, be taken as an indicator of how successful you can become, and do not dictate what you can and cannot do.” “My advice to this class is that whatever you choose to do, strive to be extraordinary. Be passionate, be confident, be great. There is greatness in all of us,” Jacob Gerber, salutatorian, said.
Fire hydrant testing will resume on June 27 in the Sixth Ward and continue for much of the summer and possibly into the fall.
