"I believe that to stay silent in the face of tyranny is to surrender your freedom and become complicit in oppression."

Those are the words of Dr. Arnold Matlin — founding member of Genesee Valley Citizens for Peace, York Central School physician for 50 years, and a man who drove through cold and rain to stand with us at last Saturday's York rally while recovering from a broken ankle.

This is who shows up. This is why we keep showing up.

GVCP Members, Holly and Chris, presented the 9th annual Paula Henry Peace Award this evening at the Genesee Valley Council on the Arts opening of the annual Members Exhibit.

Phil Thrall of Dansville was the winning artist, with his piece titled “Chained”. The piece is made of wood and depicts a peace sign and a heart chained together. Love and peace are indeed inextricably linked, or chained. The links in the wood carved chain were all of one piece of wood!

There was a very nice mixed media painting also on the topic of peace, called We Are The World, by Deborah McAffee, also of Dansville.
