A 21-year-old Wayne County man is facing charges after police say he assaulted his brother.

State Police say Deandre Smith of Clyde hit his teen brother in the head with a hammer during a domestic dispute. Smith is charged with second-degree assault.

The victim was taken to the hospital for treatment.

Smith is currently on probation in Wayne County.

Each year, Wayne Central Middle School selects members for the National Junior Honor Society.

These students earn this distinguished recognition based on service to school and community, upstanding character, a positive attitude, and grade point average. In order to be considered, students must have a cumulative grade point average of 90 or higher.

Members of the honor society were inducted at a formal ceremony.

Students inducted into the National Junior Honor Society are:

The average March temperature in Rochester was 47.3 degrees.  This was a remarkable 13 degrees above average.

The average winter (December-January-February) temperature in Rochester was 32.4 degrees.  This placed the winter as the fifth warmest on record.  The warmest winter in Rochester history was in 1931-32 when the average temperature reached 34.5 degrees.  (The only noteworthy item to cheer if you are a winter weather fan was the above normal snowfall that was observed in February.)

Additionally, this past winter nationally also turned out to be the 5th warmest on record.

You thus might be surprised to learn that globally, this winter was the 11th coldest on record in the 34 year satellite record.

This is attributable to the fact that parts of Europe and Asia were breaking records for low temperatures and heavy snow, while we in the States were basking in the glow of a low winter sun.
