Muhammad Hamaz has never met another Muslim in Batavia. He worships with a community in Rochester when he can. He said he wanted people in Batavia to know more about Islam, so he sat on a bench Wednesday on Main Street, between the U.S. Post Office and Tim Horton's, holding a sign that read, "I'm A Muslim. Ask Me About Islam."
At the time a reporter spoke with him, nobody up to that point in the day had stopped to ask him about Islam, he said.
"I want to teach others about Islam to the best of my ability and let others know that it is not a violent religion and that it is a religion of peace," Hamaz said.
A soft-spoken man, Hamaz said he converted to Islam on Oct. 14.
"Islam interested me because I never really believed that Jesus was God," Hamaz said. "I never really believed in the Trinity. So when it came down to Islam, well, Jesus was just a very beloved prophet. I was like, 'That makes more sense to me.' I always want to worship just God, not Jesus, because Jesus is just a guy, and, well, a very beloved guy. I just fell in love with Islam as I learned about it."
If anybody did stop and talk with him, he said his message was simple for his fellow Batavia residents: Islam teaches peace.
"I just want people to know that Islam is not a dangerous religion," Hamaz said. "After 911, so many people think that Islam is a religion of terrorism. It's really not. It's about love and peace and submitting to the will of God. And I want people to know that I am out here because I want other people to know exactly what I said and that Islam is not violence."
Rylee Burns started her art journey for fun when she was younger, and she intends to keep it that way. Being an artist is not her career ambition.
After her graduation from Le Roy High School on June 24, she will head to SUNY Geneseo to major in chemistry.
"I really, really enjoy science, and I want to be a forensic scientist after college," Rylee said. "So, in thinking about starting that journey, I decided to start with chemistry."
She still may take an art class or two in college, she said, because she enjoys art, too.
It's not unusual for students, even ones as talented as Rylee, to follow career paths outside of art, said Ieon Koukides, a teacher Rylee said has inspired her to stretch herself artistically.
"Their interests are absolutely different from what they might be doing in the class, from science to music, to sports, or whatever it might be," said Koukides, who himself has interests outside of art -- he's also Le Roy's head baseball coach. "So it's kind of nice that I get to have kids of all different interest levels, and what they go on to do is awesome to me because what I get to do is give them an avenue to appreciate art and hopefully produce some pretty neat stuff while they're in high school."
Rylee was among several seniors who prepared a wall of their paintings and drawings for Le Roy's annual art show on Wednesday, which also featured the work of underclass members.
As an artist, Rylee tends to be detail-oriented, preferring fine brush strokes. As a sophomore, she painted a church door because she liked the detail of it, and in her junior year, Koukides encouraged her to find another church architecture theme, so she concentrated on a stained glass window. To complete the cycle this year, she painted a church door key.
"I'm really fine with my brushes," Rylee said. "I used really tiny brushes for all three of these. I like things to go the way I want them to, so I felt really nice with these because I wanted the detail."
Koukides said he typically picks a project a student did in their sophomore year and encourages them each year to find a new approach to the same or similar subject.
"I knew she could excel at it because she's super confident in what she's doing," Koukides said. "Whether it's painting or colored pencil, it's pretty easy to gear her towards that project and see her excel."
He said Rylee's confidence has "allowed her to soar on any project after she has learned the techniques."
The art show was moved to the auditorium stage this year (instead of the library) and the stage was filled with adults and students appreciating the works on display.
Koukides said he's proud to see the school's art students get the recognition of an appreciative audience.
"I always say people get to see what I see every day," Koukides said. "That's what makes coming to work great for me every day. I know what's here, and I see it every day. But until we put it up like this and have everybody else view it, I don't think everybody truly appreciates what happens here in this small little community, and how talented the kids are."

The Matsiko Orphan Choir performed a series of shows Wednesday for employees throughout the plant of Liberty Pumps in Bergen.
The choir is a group of children from Africa who tour the nation to encourage people to become sponsors of the program, which provides educational opportunities for the children.
"The main goal of us performing at so many places around the United States is trying to find sponsorship for these kids and kids just like them back home," said Sam Windham, one of the group's directors. "What the sponsorship is, is people who step into their lives, they give $40 a month, and that $40 takes these kids all the way through university, takes them through elementary school, high school university, so when they graduate, they'll be able to accomplish any of their dreams. They have grown up to become doctors, lawyers, teachers, and anything they've ever dreamed of. And hopefully, when they graduate, they'll be able to change their country from the inside and stop the cycle of poverty that's been going on from generation to generation and the next generation of kids."

Blowouts are rare in title games, but that's what the Notre Dame Fighting Irish did on Tuesday in a game between two Class C champions to see who will represent Section V in the Far West Regional Championship.
The Irish, who won the Class C1 crown, beat the C2 champs 17-4.
The game was played in Canandaigua.
Notre Dame scored eight runs in the first inning.
Jaden Sherwood notched the win, allowing just three hits and four runs over five innings while fanning nine. Ryan Fitzpatrick came on in relief for the final two innings and recorded all six outs by Ks.
The offense banged out 13 hits, with Sherwood, Jordan Welker, Bryceton Berry, and Chase Antinore all getting multiple hits. Sherwood went 3-5. Jay Antinore had three stolen bases.

After further investigation, a third involved driver in an accident on West Main Street, Batavia, on Friday has been arrested.
Mark Flaming, 33, of Batavia, is charged with two counts of tampering with evidence, one count of leaving the scene of a serious personal injury accident, unregistered motorcycle, uninsured motorcycle, improper plates and operating without a proper license.
According to police, a motorcycle driven by Gregory Vigiano, 34, of Batavia, was struck by a minivan driven by Rebecca Santiago, 34, of Stafford, following an alleged illegal left turn.
The investigation by Officer Sam Freeman reportedly found that Flaming, on another motorcycle, ran over Vigiano while Vigiano was down in the roadway.
Flaming is accused of then fleeing the scene. He allegedly later attempted to alter the appearance of his motorcycle to avoid detection following the collision.
Vigiano sustained serious injuries and was transported by Mercy Flight to Strong Memorial Hospital. He is listed in satisfactory condition at Strong.
Flaming was issued traffic and appearance tickets.
Santiago was issued tickets on Friday for alleged illegal left turn and operating with a suspended driver's license.
A lot of well-meaning adults around Evan Williams' life have a bit of advice in the form of a question: "What's his backup plan?"
"What is he going to do if it doesn’t work out?" they ask.
Musical theater is going to be what Evan Williams does, says his mother, Laura. He might wait tables while building his career, but singing and acting, or perhaps some other career role in or around Broadway, is what he is going to do with his life.
She doesn't have any doubt about it.
“People ask all the time about his fallback plan, but I can’t see him doing anything else,” Laura said.
One of his inspirations and mentors, John Bolton, a Le Roy graduate who has made a career in musical theater, TV and movies, said he hates the term "backup plan."
"Back-up plan means this is what you're going to settle for if things don't work out," Bolton said. "You should always have something else that interests you in life, but a backup plan always sounds second-rate. It's not going for your dreams."
Williams has his best chance yet to go after that dream. He's one of 100 students from around the nation who has won a place in the Jimmy Awards in New York City.
He secured his spot last week by winning -- along with Hope Galloway (Brighton High School) -- the Rochester Broadway Theatre League's "Stars of Tomorrow" competition.
Judges from the league visited the musicals of dozens of high schools in the Finger Lakes region and selected 40 students to compete in "Stars of Tomorrow." After a first round, those 40 competitors became 20, then 10, and then the final two.
Last year, Williams also made the final 10. This year, he won.
"Evan was prepared and focused," said Bolton, who was an early round judge and then coach throughout the competition. "He's got an amazing voice. He took our notes and worked at it, as did the entire Top 40. He took very slight adjustments because he's well prepared. He owned the night, as did Hope Galloway. Everybody was wonderful. If it had taken place on another night, maybe someone else would have won, but that night, Evan claimed it. He owned it."
It was an incredible experience, Williams said.
He said the weeks leading up to the competition were anxious days.
"I had a lot of pressure to take on," Williams said. "Everyone had been telling me that I was gonna be the one, but I wasn’t gonna take anyone’s word for it other than my own."
He had grown up watching the Jimmys, hoping for even a regional consideration.
"I never had really thought of it as a reality until it became a reality," Williams said. "I knew it was possible, but I didn’t want to allow myself to think I didn’t have to work for it. I never want to do that for anything. Nothing should be handed to anyone. I had said to Nate Yauchzee on the way to the event that I remembered watching kids get picked to compete at NYC Bound and just being astounded, so even the fact that I was lucky enough to be part of the competition, not once but three times is crazy. On top of that, I think sixth-grade Evan would be incredibly proud of the fact that he is the first person from Le Roy to represent Rochester at the Jimmy Awards. I hope that there are some little Evans in the world who watch those videos and are inspired just the way I was."
Jacqueline McLean has directed the recent high school musicals at Le Roy and recognizes that Williams is a special talent.
"Evan has a heart of gold," McLean said. "Often, he's not thinking about himself. He's thinking for the better of the group, about a better musical, a better performance from the team. He's a team leader, and I'm a big believer that you're not going to get anywhere if you're not kind. He shows that often."
She said Williams is magnetic, that he connects with audiences in a way that's unique, that she hasn't seen other students be able to do.
"I have no doubt that he's going to go to college, and he's going to make a career out of this," McLean said. "I always joke with him, 'Don't forget the little people, don't forget where you came from because we're going to be cheering for you for years to come.'"
She's proud of Williams, but she's also proud of the entire Le Roy Music Department. Le Roy was represented in Rochester by not just one but five students, and three of them made the final 20.
Le Roy's musical this year was Les Miserables. The production was honored in every category of the theatre league's awards for 2023. Recognized as leading cast members from Le Roy were Ashlyn Puccio, Aubry Puccio, Cooper Terry, Jackson Cain, Maureen Klaiber, and Nathan Yauchzee. Among large schools, it was recognized for excellence in overall musical production, excellence in vocal ensemble, excellence in dance ensemble, excellence in production crew, and excellence in student orchestra.
"When you see kids over the years," she added, "you pick out the ones who have the 'it' factor. We've had a lot of them in Le Roy. We joke about it a lot -- that it must be something in the water. There is so much talent in this town."
After graduation, Williams, in pursuit of his musical theater ambitions, will attend Point Park University in Pittsburgh.
Attending college for music theater puts him on a very different career path than Bolton, who also grew up in love with theater, who started out in regional theater and then took a chance and moved to New York City and happened to make the right connections to build a career.
It helped that he, too, is a nice guy, but he recognizes he might be the best guide for Evan's career. Bolton's partner is a theatrical agent, so was able to offer Williams advice on universities to target.
Other than that, he's just a big believer that Williams should focus on what he loves.
"All signs are saying that Evan Williams can do this," Bolton said. "He's diving into a situation in New York in a few weeks with 100 other students from all over the country, and he will form friendships that will last a lifetime. He will form connections that will last a lifetime."
Bolton has known Evan's mother, Laura, since they were very young. Bolton's mother and Laura's mother, Lynn Belluscio, the Le Roy historian, have been good friends. Social media helped Bolton and Laura reconnect, and so he's been able to watch Evan's passion for theater blossom.
Laura said the main advice Bolton has ever given her son, because Evan is taking just a different path in his career, is to embrace his passion.
“John is always in Evan’s corner but more along the lines of, ‘follow your dreams, sing the songs that make you happy, be true to yourself,’” Laura said.
She's extremely proud of her son.
"Not only does Evan work hard, but he’s also genuine," Laura said. "He lifts people up and celebrates everybody’s success. In this career, he’s learned quickly that if he’s going to go places, he has to help other people. It’s far more than a kill-or-be-killed arena. That’s what I’ve noticed. Clearly, that’s a parent's answer, but that is what makes me proudest, and I know that makes Justin proud as well."
Williams has heard those well-meaning words about having a fallback plan, but he agrees with his mother. He can't see himself doing anything else.
He said he's listened to interviews with stars like John Meyer, who said he didn't necessarily get the best grades in school in mathematics. He was always a music guy. Williams said he's tried to do his best in school, even in mathematics, but those academic subjects, or even sports, have never been his focus.
"Some kids grind at science or they grind at mathematics. They go home and do their science homework or their math homework. When I'm not in school, I spend my time with voice lessons, music lessons, rehearsals, or something like that. That's my form of success," Williams said.
"This is something I want. If I keep pushing for it, I believe it can happen. I’m a big if you can dream it, you can do it. I'm that kind of guy."
Skipper Joey Martinez likes grinders.
And he's not afraid to say it. He thinks the 2023 Batavia Muckdogs look like a better team than the one that won a division title in 2022.
"This team is special just because we have another crop with just great young men," Martinez said. "We've got a bunch of grinders. That's kind of the style we like. We like the grinders. They're recruited that way on purpose, you know. We try to get guys that are going to come into this community, as well, and be a part of it, that they represent the Batavia Muckdogs name well everywhere and every day. This team is gonna be special with a lot of talent as well as compared to last year. That was a special team, right, as you know, that team was special. We got about 10 returners from that team. We hope that that transition helps with the new guys and tells them what we're about here. I think this roster potentially could be better."
Martinez said the key to fielding a winning team in the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League is pitching, and he thinks this year's roster is stacked with arms.
He also said the team has several players with great bat skills, including two players who hit 14 home runs each at the collegiate level this season.
There are also returning local favorites such as Alex Hale. The Batavia High School grad was "phenomenal" for the Muckdogs in 2022, Martinez said.
"We also have a couple of other local GCC kids who are going to be a big part of what we do," Martinez said, including Ty Woods, from Alexander.
"I think you got to look out for guys like Anthony Calabro, Henry Daniels, Adam Agresti," Martinez said. "There are so many names to throw at you. I mean, we just have a lot of talent."
Owner Robbie Nichols is excited about a lot of things in the 2023 season, from the fan experience to the players who will take the field.
"I think it's going to be exciting on Saturday," Nichols said. "We've got a great team again. You're going to see a great fireworks show. We're going to have a lot of fun promotions going, and people who come to the games are going to have a lot of fun."
He said there is some sort of promotion for every home game in 2023, including the return of Dollar Hot Dog Night and $2 Beer Night, along with a helicopter dropping 250 pounds of candy.
He said he's really impressed with the roster Martinez and his coaches have put together.
"Skip has done a great job," Nichols said. "You look out here; we got a pitcher that's 6'3", 315 pounds and throws in the 90s. We just got a kid on the mound that's 6' 10". They're all hand-picked from around the country. We've got players from California, Florida, Georgia, you name it. We've got two kids that hit 14 home runs, led their conference. I'm kind of excited about this year's team."
That should translate into another winning season, right?
"I will go on record and predict a repeat as the West Division champion," Nichols said. "From there, we'll have to see. That Amsterdam team, the other division, always has somebody that is tough. We're ready. I think we're a little bit loaded this year."
The Muckdogs open the home season on Saturday at Dwyer Stadium at 6:35 p.m. The Muckdogs take on the Elmira Pioneers. There will be a fireworks display following the game. Tickets can be purchased at canusamuckdogs.com or by calling 585-524-2260.
