Batavia High coaching legend Myron "Buddy" Brasky has been named Geneseean of the Year for 2009 by the Genesee County Chamber of Commerce.
Reached just before a basketball game tonight, Brasky didn't have much time to talk, but he said he never expected the award.
"It was a total surprise," Brasky said. "I had no idea I was even being considered. It was a surprise. It's a big honor. I'm surprised and honored."
Rose Garden Bowl/Viking Valhalla Restaurant was named Business of the Year.
The Batavian was named Innovative Enterprise of the Year.
The Agriculture Business of the Year is Kutter’s Cheese Factory in East Pembroke.
Special recognition awards are going to the Batavia Area Jaycees and the Batavia Muckdogs' parent company, Rochester Red Wings Community Baseball.
The annual awards will be presented at a ceremony at the Holiday Inn on March 6.

Innovative Enterprise really does hit the nail on the head. Several times with enterprise alone.
Enterprise:
1 : a project or undertaking that is especially difficult, complicated, or risky
2 : readiness to engage in daring or difficult action : initiative <showed great enterprise in dealing with the crisis>
3 a : a unit of economic organization or activity; especially : a business organization b : a systematic purposeful activity
