MPNnow
Finger Lakes Community College will celebrate Women’s History Month on March 10 with a virtual talk exploring the life of a local suffragist and scientist whose discoveries laid the foundation for climate research.
Eunice Newton Foote, who grew up in Bloomfield, was the fifth person to sign the Declaration of Sentiments at the 1848 Women’s Rights Convention in Seneca Falls.
Leif HerrGesell, former director of the East Bloomfield Historical Society, will give the free talk via Webex from 1 to 2:15 p.m. A link to join will be posted on the event calendar at events.flcc.edu.

EAST BLOOMFIELD Back in 2015 Jim and Jeanette Zavislan, then of Pittsford, were looking for a ranch house on about 10 acres.
Instead, the empty nesters fell in love with a storied circa-1840 Greek Revival house, known as the George and Addison Wheeler House, with a large barn on more than 100 acres. Jim, a professor at the University of Rochester, and Jeanette, an independent technical writer and an avid gardener, have since embraced the country life on their Grimble Road property.
“Our three grown children love visiting to enjoy the fresh air,” Jeanette said.
