Veterans Day observances planned in Hornell, Wayland and Bath VA

Americans will pause Wednesday, Nov. 11 to reflect upon and honor the sacrifices made by veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces. The annual November observance originated in 1919 on the first anniversary of the 1918 armistice that ended the fighting in World War I. The cessation of hostilities between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans Day continues to be observed on Nov. 11, regardless of which day of the week it falls. In New York, Veterans Day is a state legal holiday and all federal, state, county and local government offices are closed. The following Veterans Day observances are planned in Hornell and neighboring communities.

Rochester Reads turns its sights to Gaza

Rochester Reads is celebrating 25 years of asking the community to read one book – and then come together to discuss it. This year, Writers & Books has selected two titles — one being Omar El Akkad’s “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This.” El Akkad has described the book as a kind of breakup letter with the West. He writes of the devastation in Gaza and the plight of the Palestinian people. Writers & Books says the book “underscores literature’s capacity to bear witness to the lives, places, and issues that are often left in the margins.”
