125 years ago — November 1901 When Judge William Travers Jerome arrived in Lakeville on Tuesday evening, he was tendered a royal reception and a hearty welcome. About 400 citizens were gathered at the depot, and when the Judge stepped from the train, a roar of applause went up that denoted the enthusiasm and delight of his host of friends, while the surroundings were a blaze of red fire. After shaking hands with a number of friends the Judge and his party were driven to his residence where they dined and enjoyed a brief rest. At 2 o’clock a message from President Roosevelt was received, congratulating the Judge upon the splendid fight and victory. SALISBURY — James R.

On a gray day in November 2025, when Rochester roads were slick and the lawns still coated with early winter snow, something new rolled down the avenues. The spinning LiDAR receptor on the roof, plus more on the fenders, were bouncing millions of laser beams off surrounding objects. Multiple cameras plus radars fed into an onboard computer digesting and verifying all this location information and commanding the vehicle to drive down the street (although there was a human stand-by driver onboard for this run). The sight was odd enough for WROC to report it on the news. This Waymo self-driving taxi (robotaxi) was headed for Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva for an exhibit arranged by state Sen.
