Sweden adds Senior Center funding to 2015 budgetby Kristina Gabalski

The Sweden Town Board has put an additional $25,000 in the Preliminary 2015 budget for the Sweden Senior Center.

Town Supervisor Rob Carges made the announcement during the October 14 regular meeting of the town board following the presentation of a proposal for the viability of the Center by Lori Skoog, chair of the Sweden Senior Center Committee.

Supervisor Carges said the funds will help the center stay open longer hours and provide for a part-time direc-tor. We feel its a valid compromise at this time.

The announcement was met with applause by the more than 60 residents in attendance.

The funding breaks down as follows: $16,200 for salary for a part-time director - 20-24 hours per week; $4,300 for benefits the town must provide for the director; $5,000 for programming. Hours of operation will be 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Supervisor Carges said. Since early summer, the Center has been closing at 1 p.m. weekdays.

Hopefully we will look at this bi-monthly to see what works and what doesnt work, Supervisor Carges said. The name has to go, he added, regarding the name Sweden Senior Center.

Changing the name to something more befitting of the Centers evolving identity has been discussed over the past several weeks as the Committee prepared its propos-al. The proposal calls for facility changes which include a new name as well as a facelift for the upstairs, down-stairs and grounds.

One possible name suggested by Committee members is Erie Canal House, as the Center is located at 133 State Street in the Village of Brockport on the southern bank of the Erie Canal.

Im very encouraged, Lori Skoog told the Suburban News/The Herald regarding the town boards decision to include additional funds in the preliminary budget for the Center. We are very happy they responded and Im so impressed we could get more than 1,000 signatures on our petition.

Along with the committees proposal, Skoog presented the town board with a petition to keep and support the Center signed by 1,025 people. She also provided board members with a large binder notebook holding materi-als which document the work of the committee since July 22.

Skoog says she hopes to keep dialog going with the town board to confirm salary and number of hours for the part-time director. The Committee wants the new director to get 24 hours/week, she said.

The Committee is also working to amass a force of volunteers to help at the center for two hour shifts. The volunteers would answer the phone, man the desk and serve as greeters, Skoog said.

She told the town board she is excited about the ideas the committee has come up with for the Center. The pos-sibilities are numerous and are included in information provided to the board. Ideas include a butterfly garden, raised garden beds for growing organic vegetables, inter-generational activities and a kayak launch, Skoog says.

Im confident we will show the town it can work, Skoog told the Suburban News/The Herald.

Carges said during the meeting that getting more peo-ple involved at the Center is imperative. He hopes the Center will see the same kind of attendance that recent

meetings regarding the future of the Center have seen.Dont go home and turn on the TV, Carges said. It

cant be that way if you want (the Center) to continue.Also during the October 14 meeting, the Sweden Town

Board unanimously approved the 2015 Preliminary Bud-get and set the public hearing on the general budget and special district budgets for Tuesday, October 28 at 7 p.m.

Carges emphasized the Preliminary Budget is subject

to change. I would like to thank the board for working diligently with me and the finance director. This budget wasnt easy to do, he said.

The town plans to override the tax cap in 2015. In the Fall 2014 town newsletter, Carges states in his message that the 2015 allowable levy growth under the tax cap is approximately $45,000. The tentative budget called for a levy growth of about $98,000.

Opinion/CommentsHistory of collegein Brockport showsvillages strong support

The Homecoming Weekend incident (in Brockport vil-lage) has called attention to the relations between the vil-lage and the college, making a review of highlights in that relationship a suitable topic for public comment. It could be said that: If it werent for the village, the college would not exist.

The antecedents of the college lie in a meeting of vil-lage leaders in 1830 that invited the Western New York Baptist Conference to designate Brockport the site of the college it was planning. A village leader donated six acres of land and $3,000 for a building for the proposed college. Probably, the college never came into being, but the build-ing survived.

In 1841, village leaders founded the Brockport Colle-giate Institute in the abandoned building. In 1854, the building burned. Once again, villagers came to the rescue, raised the necessary funds and built a new building. Ten years later, the institution was floundering financially, and, in 1866, the Village Board covered its debts through taxation and successfully petitioned the State to site one of the new normal schools in Brockport.

The normal school ran into severe difficulties in the de-pression years of the 1930s with low enrollment and a badly deteriorating physical plant. The State considered closing the institution or using it to house a correctional facility for girls. Once again, the village rallied to its sup-port, formed a committee to campaign for its survival, and sent a delegation to meet with Vincent Dailey, the son of a prominent Brockport businessman who was Political

Secretary to Governor Lehman. He intervened to save the school as a State Teachers College.

Throughout its first century, the college never enrolled more than a few hundred students, mostly residents of the Brockport area and was almost always shaky finan-cially. Brockports manufacturing industries had a much greater impact on the life, growth, and character of the village. At one time, Brockport was a major farm machin-ery production center. At least six factories produced farm implements, including the largest industrial plant in Mon-roe County. Also, Brockport manufactured tools, stoves, shoes, pianos, piano boxes, glass bottles, buttons, dolls, rotary pumps, wheels for wagons and buggies, bricks, cooling boards for undertakers, electrical appliances, re-frigeration equipment, fishing tackle, card games, sewing machines, photographic film, wagons, buggies, two auto-mobiles, galvanized tubs, sieves, buckets, and cans. At least nine food processing plants have operated in Brock-port. General Electric employed 1,400 workers, Owens-Il-linois 700, Moore-Shafer Shoe Co. 400. Until GE, Owens-Illinois, and A&P closed in the mid-1980s, manufacturing was much the largest employer in the village.

In recent years, the college has become the greatest in-fluence on the village. It brings great benefits, in culture, in volunteerism, in vitality for our downtown, but it also brings deterioration of our housing stock, some disorder, and a drain on the village budget. The recent unpleasant-ness should precipitate a new effort to ensure that the village and college collaborate to provide the best possible environment for villagers to live and work and students to study.

Elected officials need to know constituents viewsHave you ever read about a decision made by a gov-

ernment body, whether it is Congress or your local town board, and asked yourself, Who the heck thought that was a good idea? or Did they even ask the people that they were supposed to be representing what they want-ed?

In an Opinion letter in the Hamlin-Clarkson Herald (October 12, 2014) written by John Lemke, he referred to the proposed Brook Field at Clarkson project, and how current town board member Jackie Smith was gathering more information before deciding how she would vote. The letter stated that the town board election between Jackie Smith and Tom Trapp would be a referendum on this project, and it well may be. While Mr. Lemkes letter failed to mention Mr. Trapps opinion on the Brook Field at Clarkson project, it insinuated that since other Town Board members had enough information to voice their opinion, that Ms. Smith should have enough information. I am not sure how anyone would assume to know someone elses requirements for making an informed decision, but I for one applaud the effort of Ms. Smith to find out the pulse of the people she represents.

Ms. Smith has been going door-to-door in Clarkson ask-ing people their opinion of the Brook Field at Clarkson project among other topics. I first learned about this proj-ect from her. I encourage all Clarkson residents to find out more about the incentive zoning application, and decide if you think this project is right for Clarkson. Then voice your opinion to the town board.

We hire the town board members with our votes, and their role is to represent us and vote on matters to reflect the view of the town residents. Too often our elected of-ficials seem to make decisions in a vacuum. They dont talk to the people they are representing before they vote on important issues.

Gillam-Grant Center celebrates volunteersThe Gillam-Grant Community Center hosted

an event celebrating its volunteers at a Recogni-tion Celebration at Batavia Downs Wednesday, October 8. Peggy Swapceinski, executive direc-tor, thanked the volunteers who have contributed to Gillam-Grants ability to serve the area for 40 years with interesting programs, recreation and events.

The Gillam-Grant Community Center, 6966 West Bergen Road, opened its doors in 1974, to provide a place for social, cultural and education-al programs for the entire community. Today the facility includes a preschool program, Kid Zone after school childcare, Learning Center, Youth Recreation programs, day trips and many activi-ties.

Special recognition was given to Marilyn Pocock of Bergen, who has volunteered every Wednesday morning at 10:30 a.m. for the past four years to coordinate and host Gillam-Grants Toddler Story Time. Peggy said, Marilyn is a great example of the great relationship Gillam-Grant has with the community.

The leadership and staff of the Gillam-Grant have worked hard to provide quality programs, services and recreation. Executive Director Peg-gy Swapceinski says, we are striving to become the place to be and to really make an impact on the quality of life of individuals and families. We are grateful for all the wonderful volunteers that make toddler programs, youth recreation as well as many other programs happen at the Center.

Hamlin-Clarkson Herald and Suburban News West Edition - October 19, 2014 5

by Doug Hickerson

Dena was on a table in an animal shelter in Ohio about to be euthanized. Then the technicians found she was pregnant. The Labrador mixed breed was flown to this area by Pilots for Paws who looked for a dog rescue or-ganization that would accept her. Being turned away at several places, it was the no-kill Hamlin Dog Shelter that took her in.

We took on quite a project, said Dave Maynard, Ham-lins dog control officer. There were a lot of doubters who said it was not going to work and we would lose the pup-pies. Dave went on, We gave 150% to make sure these dogs were healthy, and guess what, we did it, we did it.

What Dave and many other volunteers have done is to help Dena give birth to 13 puppies. And, through well-organized care and feeding to assist Denas nursing, the puppies are all healthy and ready to go to adopting fami-lies on October 17.

The success of the puppy project illustrates the support and organization that has made the Hamlin Dog Shelter, in just a year and a half of its existence, a benchmark program for New York State Department of Agriculture & Markets. It provides a model for other towns which have been calling to learn more about its operations and performance. It has a committed volunteer base, a well-developed facility, and the inspired leadership of Dave Maynard.

Marlene Smith gives love to Denas 13 puppies, born after Dena was rescued from a high-kill shelter in Ohio. Dena and her puppies have all been adopted and going to their homes October 17. Photo by Dianne Hickerson.

The rescue and adoption outreach to townshipsAll adoptions are done through Facebook. We have 5,100 followers on Facebook and that number is growing daily, Dave said. We adopted out 30 dogs last month, including to homes in Middleport, Medina, Canandaigua and, most recently, Victor. We provide a west side service left open when Lollypop West left Brockport.

The shelter also serves Parma, Hilton, Gates, Wheat-land and Henrietta.

The adoption process for 13 puppies fast and thoroughDena and her 13 puppies were adopted in just two days after Dave put up a reserve list on Facebook. He received 30 messages in just one hour. When the puppies were two weeks old, we called in each family interested and interviewed them one by one, Dave said. When chosen, the families completed all the paper work and paid the

Saved from cruel abandonment or from euthanasia, dogs at Hamlins no-kill shelter go to caring homes

adoption costs. The total fee is $120, including $50 for adoption, $35 rabies shot, and $35 deposit for neuter or spaying (returned when the dog has surgery). We pro-vide a place for the middle class who cant go out and pay three-to-four-hundred dollars for a dog.

Some very special dogsAmong the eleven dogs in the shelter that day were two very special cases. Cheyenne was a pit bull who had been abandoned, attached to a pole in a roadside ditch with a bag of dog food. She is the sweetest dog. She wants to give kisses and hugs, Dave said, as he stuck his fingers through the cage and she licked them.

In another kennel was McKinley, an eleven week old mixed breed who could walk using only her front legs, dragging her paralyzed back legs behind her. She is a MIA Foundation dog. As an alternative to euthanizing dogs born with disabilities, the MIA Foundation provides surgery and prosthetic devices so these dogs can live a healthy and happy life when adopted out. McKinley will receive two wheels to support her rear legs, and is about to be adopted by a young couple. The MIA Foundation in Hilton was founded by Sue Rogers whose Chihuahua, Mia, was born with a cleft palate. The Hamlin Dog Shel-ter works closely with the Foundation. And, Sue Rogers was present the night the puppies were born, giving as-sistance.

The dog shelter facilityDave became the Hamlin Dog Control officer in 2012, at the urging of town board member Craig A. Goodrich. He had previously been the assistant control officer. Dave agreed to take this new job on the condition that he be al-lowed to establish a quality dog shelter in an abandoned building used by the town at 80 Railroad Avenue. That was granted but no money was available to renovate the building. With donations of drywall, insulation and wiring, Dave solicited from 84 Lumber, and workers from the Town Highway Department installing the drywall and wiring, the shelter took shape.

The only volunteer Dave had at that time was Austin Mann, 16, a Brockport High school student. He spent night after night with me painting, cleaning, tearing stuff apart, Dave said. The kid was incredible. Austin worked through the entire three-month renovation, and continued volunteering for about a year after the shelter opened in April 2013.

A new addition was completed in May 2013, with 10 additional kennels and a bath, which doubled the capac-ity. Building materials were donated by Home Depot, and Quality First Heating and Cooling is donating a furnace at cost, installed free. The shelter and the addition were supported by Craig Goodrich, who passed away in 2013, and for whom the shelter is named. Craig had been a li-

aison between Dave and the town board, and provided much encouragement. A 150 square foot outside dog run was also added, using Craigs funeral memorial funds. Craig wanted the dogs to be free, not always cooped up in the building, Dave said.

Volunteers give daily care with Daves leadershipThere is an extensive volunteer base that attends to the dogs and maintains the kennel seven days a week, morn-ings and afternoons. The puppy project requires eight separate volunteers. The puppies are in quarantine to protect them from disease. These volunteers come in a back door to avoid contact with other dogs, and wash their hands before handling the puppies.

Dave calls Marlene Smith his lead volunteer. She comes in Monday through Friday to feed and water the dogs, let them outside, give them medicines and give them love, Marlene says. When someone asked what her job pays, she answered, I have had some good paying jobs in the past, but, as a volunteer, this is the best paying job I ever had. It really is.

Dave himself spends many hours each day of the week volunteering at the shelter. He receives a salary only as Hamlins dog control officer. He attributes his ability to run the shelter to his 23 years of working with 40 employ-ees. Dave is manager of Austro Mold, a plastics company in Rochester. He has a wife, two boys, and four dogs at home in Hamlin. I put in a tremendous amount of time, Dave said. But, the thing is, you put this time in at the start and its going to run itself eventually. He spoke of the shelter succeeding into the future to keep Craig Go-odrichs memory alive. I want this place to be the best shelter in New York State, he said. For being open just a year and a half, we have done much, but you havent seen anything yet.

Austin Mann is a senior at Brockport High School and a Hamlin resident. He ranks 8th in his class and plans to become a veterinarian. He volunteered almost daily for three months as

Dave Maynards only helper in renovating the shelter building. Then, he worked as a volunteer in the shelter for about a year. I loved it there, he said about the dog shelter. It was a friendly environment and Dave is dedicated in his care for dogs. Austin had to leave when he could not balance the volunteer time with his present job at a veterinarians office in Hilton.

RPO to perform Exotic Adventures concert at The College at Brockport

From ancient Persia to a bicycle that flies past the full moon; from a ghostly Scandinavian harbor to sunny Spain; from a fantastical garden inspired by Mother Goose to the Wild, Wild West, the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra will play a program at The College at Brockport that is appropriately titled Exotic Adventures. The concert takes place on Friday, October 24 at 7:30 p.m. in the Tower Fine Arts Center Mainstage, 180 Holley Street, on the Brock-port campus. Tickets are $16/general, $11/seniors, alumni, faculty and staff, and $8.50/students. They are available online at fineartstix.brockport.edu, by phone at (585) 395-2787, or at the Tower Fine Arts Center Box Office, 180 Holley Street, Brockport.

Under the baton of RPO trumpeter and guest conductor, Paul Shewan, the ensemble hopes that they will inspire the audience to take the journey with them. Flying themes bookend the program, which leads off with the Overture to The Flying Dutchman, Richard Wagners opera about a sea captain fated to spend eternity at the helm of a spec-tral ship. Just as the stormy seas are etched into Wagners score, the concerts finale, John Williams Flying Theme from E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, captures the whimsy and excitement of a boy and his alien taking wing on a bike that defies gravity.

Also featured on the program are movements from two Rimsky-Korsakov works, Scheherazade and Capriccio espagnol. The latter, evoking the Iberian peninsula, was written by the composer not while sojourning to Madrid,

Barcelona or Seville, but while sitting in a lakeside villa in the middle of Russia. A master orchestrator, the two disparate locales of these works come to life in each note the orchestra plays.

A witches Sabbath is pretty exotic, no? That was the inspiration for Mussorgskys A Night on Bald Mountain, which may be better known as one of the more frightening sequences in the classic Disney film Fantasia. But this drives home the point of the concerts program, according to Stuart Ira Soloway, the manager of the Fine Arts Series at the College: Music has the ability to transport you, if you listen to the musical cues.

Completing the program are a sequence from Aaron Coplands ballet Rodeo, Buckaroo Holiday, and The Magic Garden section of Maurice Ravels Mother Goose Suite.

Shewan returns to Brockport, where he has conducted the RPO several times in the past. When asked if he con-sidered himself to be more of a conductor or a trumpet player, Shewans response was an unequivocal Yes. They have both taken equal precedence in my career and I am equally attached and committed to both. It can be quite a juggling act, but it is worth the extra time that is required to make them work.

The RPO has had a long-standing relationship with Brockport. In addition to its annual concert, they have a presence on campus throughout the year, providing course instructors and guest lecturers.

Aurora House hosts Open House Saturday, Oct. 25

Aurora House, a comfort home for the dying, hosts an Open House for the community to learn more about the work carried out in the comfort care home. Staff, volun-teers and members of the Board will be on hand to answer questions, guide tours and help to facilitate a better un-derstanding of the caring philosophy in place to care for terminally ill residents.

A family member of a past resident recently said, You made a difficult journey so much easier. We could relax and know that Mom was being so lovingly cared for by the volunteers and staff. Our entire family could just be there, at her bedside. We felt the tension slip away when we entered the house.

Residents with a terminal diagnosis and three months or less prognosis are accepted at Aurora House. Because the house does not bill either the residents family or their insurance company, fundraising is a necessity. Volunteers are always needed to assist with care giving (training provided, no experience necessary), housekeeping, meal preparation, fundraising and special events.

Learn more about Aurora House at the Open House Oc-tober 25, 2495 South Union Street in Spencerport.

Brockport church joins Hillside in Adoption FairIn celebration of National Adoption Month in Novem-

ber, Hillside Childrens Centers Adoptive Services de-partment and Christ Community Church in Brockport are teaming up to host an Adoption Fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, November 8, at Bethel Christian Fel-lowship, 321 East Avenue. The event is free and open to the public. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about adoption, meet others interested in adoption and foster care, and gather information from participating agencies about their programs.

The adoption process can be confusing, tedious and dis-couraging, said Lisa Maynard, director of Adoption Ser-vices at Hillside Childrens Center. While the Internet is a great resource for those seeking adoption, we believe a personal touch provides people with a more accurate, realistic perspective and allows for building relationships with providers and like-minded individuals.

Maynard added that the fair is intended to educate on the options, processes and core issues in adoption. She continued, At the end of the adoption process, a child has

a forever family and the family is expanded - in size, di-versity, culture and world view. It is a bonus for the family and for society.

Christ Community Church has a strong history of sup-porting adoption, including an adoption fund specifically designated to assist members who are interested in ex-panding their families. Senior Pastor Bruce Plummer and his wife adopted two girls from China in 1997 and 2000, to join their family of four biological boys.

Adoption is close to the heart of God, Plummer said. We want to help people know that it is not only possible but actually feasible to adopt children into your family, if you feel called to do it.

Christ Community Church and Bethel Christian Fel-lowship have been outstanding partners, Maynard said. I believe that together we can raise awareness and pro-vide accurate, helpful information to the community in hopes of encouraging more families to pursue adoption.

On the road - Three men are determined to bicycle across the United States in an effort to raise money for education in Hon-

duras. On October 9, the trio stopped in Hamlin. Debbie Rath provided this photo of Brett Citrowske, Chris Gould

and Mike Amen, two South Dakota State graduates and one student, who started their ride May 13 in Brookings,

South Dakota. Five riders originally started the 10,000 mile journey estimated to take six months. Two bicyclists

returned to college at the start of the semester and one is taking a semester off. The boys have connected with Impact

Ministries International. IMI has agreed to match their donations dollar for dollar. They have established a web site

(www.thegreat48.us) that explains about their mission and accepts donations.

Society changes schools cursive writing curriculumby Kristina Gabalski

It wasnt so long ago that penmanship was one of the most important subjects in grammar school curriculum. But things have changed a lot in a short amount of time and now with email, computers, tab-lets, hand-held devices and phones, Twit-ter, Facebook, etc, etc, etc, the importance of word processing skills/keyboarding tends to take precedence over handwriting for many schools.

Common Core standards arent helping the cause for cursive. The standards re-quire manuscript handwriting instruction until first grade and no mandated cursive instruction at any grade level. States, however, can choose to supplement Com-mon Core with additional manuscript and cursive instruction.

Todd Yunker, principal at Churchville-Chili Fairbanks Road Elementary School, says cursive is offered in third grade. In fourth grade, students are encouraged to utilize cursive by writing out their papers.

Beyond fourth grade, its the students choice, Yunker says. They can write in cursive or print. Now, most do their work keyboarding.

Third graders are also taught keyboard-ing skills and in upper grades, technology skills are emphasized, Yunker says. For note-taking, netbooks are used as early as third and fourth grades, he adds.

At Spencerport Central Schools, cursive instruction is similar. Canal View Elemen-tary principal Carol Robinson says cursive is taught in third grade.

Its viewed as a life skill, Robinson says. Fourth and fifth graders are strong-ly encouraged to use cursive as much as possible. Its important to be able to pro-duce as well as read it.

By middle school, students are allowed to create some system on their own, Rob-inson says, as long as its legible, its ac-ceptable.

She notes some cursive skill is neces-sary in adulthood - writing checks - for example.

Robinson says the school also sees the value of technology - we see the impor-tance of effective word processing, as well. We try to do a balance so they are fully prepared.

Todd Yunker at Churchville-Chili ob-serves, however, that if students abandon cursive completely as they move through grade school, they no longer have that skill.

The Clarkson Historical Society this fall offered cursive writing classes for anyone interested on two Sundays in an ongoing effort to keep cursive alive.

The classes were taught at the historic Clarkson Academy where cursive is also taught to area students during summer camp, as well as during the school year.

Our whole history has been written with some kind of implement, Clarkson Historical Society President Mary Ed-wards says. And research shows theres more to it (cursive) than a quaint idea.

She explains that drawing and cursive go together, as well as the fact that if something is written down by hand, it is retained longer.

The ability to think is correlated to the ability to write in cursive, Edwards says.

And if you dont have cursive writ-ing skills, you dont have cursive reading skills. You cant read historical documents in their original form, or even personal family documents and letters from days gone by, Edwards notes.

If youre researching your uncles letters written during WWII, youre up a creek if you cant read cursive, she says.

She also notes handwriting is a form of personal expression - something unique to each person.

Edwards passed along a list she found of 15 top reasons to teach handwriting. The list includes such benefits as:It is a complex skill that develops the brainFaster than printingHandwritten signatures are legally bind-ingHigher SAT scores when written in cur-siveNot dependent on electronic technologyImproves continuity and fluidity of thought in written communicationHelps prevent memory lossHelps develop ability to focusMakes a child feel grown-upHandwriting humanizes a person vs. an email or text

Research and studies back-up Edwards arguments. On the website of Zaner-Bloser - a publisher of handwriting and literacy materials - a report by Hanover Research on the Importance of Teaching Handwrit-ing in the 21st Century is posted.

In its executive summary, the report finds that proponents of cursive instruc-tion suggest cursive benefits students mo-tor skills and cognitive development, is a necessary back-up skill to technology, can boost academic achievement, and aides students with learning disabilities.

The report lists an impressive number of benefits of formal handwriting instruc-tion including:Increasing brain activationImpacts performance across all academic subjectsProvides a foundation for higher-order skillsInfluences reading, writing, language, and critical thinking

The report found that students who are not proficient in handwriting may be as high as 25-33 percent of the student popu-lation.

The art of putting pen to paper helps students to absorb knowledge in a way that visual or audio learning cannot, the Hanover Research report states.

Cursive can play a role in a persons self-definition, holds a place historically and culturally in the United States, and is a useful back-up skill for cases when tech-nology may not be available, the report found.

Students may also need something to fall back on - job applications may require candidates to write more than a line or two, for example.

Similarly, students unable to read cur-sive may be at a disadvantage if they need to reference documents produced in a pre-technological era such as the Declaration of Independence. Students may also need to read cursive if a teacher provides hand-written feedback, the report says.

Finally, the report states cursive writing may be beneficial for students with learn-ing disabilities such as dyslexia because the built-in mechanics of cursive help to solidify word-order comprehension.

Kathy Best learned cursive via the Palmer Method from the nuns at St. John the Evangelist School in the 1950s.

There was a banner above the chalk-board that ran the width of the classroom.

It showed both uppercase and lower-case letters, she fondly remembers. We were given white lined paper to practice on. The paper always had to be placed on a slant to the left so that our handwriting would slant to the right. I remember start-ing with series of attached loops. You drew these over and over again until you devel-oped good muscular coordination in the arm and wrist. Then you went on to prac-tice the alphabet starting with the lower-case a then the uppercase. The nuns were very strict about perfecting each childs handwriting.

Handwriting was practiced daily and it could take days to master a lowercase or uppercase letter, Best says.

I believe this kind of discipline helped develop not only co-ordination, but also a childs fine motor skills, and we were graded ac-cording to skill. I think I usually got a B. Good penmanship gave stu-dents a sense of pride and accomplishment, Best says, ... and made the nuns very happy. Cursive may take a lit-tle longer to learn, but it is an easier and fast-er form of communica-tion than printing.

A teacher of Bests children in the 1980s was so impressed with the Palmer Method, she taught it to herself and then to her stu-dents, Best says.

She explains that so much history is recorded via cursive hand-writing and it is also a skill that teaches patience, perseverance and creates new neural pathways.

I am so thankful to those dear, sweet nuns who cared enough about each of their students to teach the basic skills we all need. Reading, writing and arithmetic - and we were graded on how well we did; and yes, some students were left behind until they learned.

I cant imagine sending off a sloppy thank-you card to someone who has shown me a kindness, Best continues, or writ-ing a letter with such sloppy penmanship that the recipient cant even read it. I dont know what todays children will do if there

is a war and no cell towers. It seems com-mon sense to me that basic skills should be taught and reinforced, and technology (a wonderful tool) should be an enhancement of todays learning process.

If you feel the same way about preserv-ing cursive handwriting in our culture, mark your calendar to celebrate an annu-al holiday of which you may not be aware. January 23 is National Handwriting Day and has been for decades. That date was chosen as it is the birthday of John Han-cock, one of our founding fathers whose memorable signature graces the Declara-tion of Independence and whose name has become synonymous with signing ones name. If you can sign your name, that alone may be a reason to celebrate.

Kathy Bests handwriting shows the clarity learned with practice.

Sweeney sets up two for Blue Devilsby Warren Kozireski

Senior co-captain Taylor Sweeney assisted on the first and last goals as Brockport defeated Spencerport 3-0 in a girls soccer game played at Dan Walrath Stadium.

The Blue Devils netted all three goals over a six min-ute span during the first half. The first came at 32:04 as Sweeney sent a cross into the box. The Rangers defense and goalkeeper mixed up their communication allowing sophomore Emma Moulton to pounce on the loose ball and score.

2:07 later, Heidi Sommer sent a through-pass to spring Morgan Smith in all alone on the keeper, where she made it 2-0 Brockport.

The final tally came at the 38 minute mark as Sweeneys shot bounced off the keeper and deflected back off Swee-

ney to Brooke Falsion, who found the back of the net.Brockport goalkeeper Lilia Sagan made three saves in

registering her second shutout of the season.We have not played sound defensively every game or

finished our opportunities, but tonight we did both, first year Blue Devils head coach Matt Davis said. Im trying to bring a different style of play; keep the ball moving and where our shape is important and it has taken us a little while to adjust.

Brockport was seeded eighth in Class A and on the bubble to potentially host a first round Section V Class A playoff game, but with a 6-6-2 record believe they need to win out in the final week of the regular season at Gates Chili and home against Churchville-Chili, plus receive help from other teams for that to happen.

Schultheis paces Blue Devils swimmersby Warren Kozireski

Catherine Schultheis finished first in two individual events and was part of a winning relay team as Brockport defeated Churchville-Chili 98-85 in girls swimming.

Schultheis won the two sprint events - the 50-yard freestyle in :25.33 and the 100-yard freestyle in :55.22. She, along with Emily Zink, Khavy Sangasy and Angelina Lockhart, won the 200-yard medley relay in 2:02.46.

Sangasy took first in the 100-yard breaststroke in 1:16.87, Caroline Martin won the 500-yard freestyle in 5:51.78 while Megan Stevens, Jenna Lauth and Averona Wilson swept the top three positions in diving with Ste-

vens earning 195.00 points.For Churchville-Chili, Marlane Hochgraf and Sierra

Schertler each won two individual events. Hochgraf won the 200-yard freestyle in 2:27.72 and the 100-yard but-terfly in 1:02.12 while Schertler took the 200-yard indi-vidual medley in 2:27.72 and the 100-yard backstroke in 1:04.98.

The Saints 200-yard freestyle relay team of Mercedes McKinney, Giulia Salvatorelli, Isabelle Horvath and Ho-chgraf won in 1:50.14. Schertler, Horvath, Salvatorelli and Hochgraf also finished first in the 400-yard freestyle relay in 4:06.91.

C-C Girls Volleyball take first in B-B TourneyThe Churchville-Chili Girls Varsity Volleyball Team came

The Saints won their Quarterfinal match against the Charter School of Applied Tech-nologies 25-9. Then they won their semi-final match against Batavia 25-15, 25-19. In the fi-nals against Bergen, the Saints won the first game 25-20, lost the second game 13-25, and the Saints rallied back to win game three 25-15 to become tourna-ment Champions.

Hamlins new library a dream come true for manyby Kristina Gabalski

Its 11 a.m. on a Monday morning and the Hamlin Public Library is a flurry of activity: Children gather with parents and caregivers in the conference room for programming; a steady stream of patrons come and go, some enjoying the newspa-per and periodicals, others making use of computers, while others seek information at the circulation desk. Library staff is busy replacing returned materials to the shelves and assisting patrons.

The scene is a dream come true for sup-porters of the library. After years of search-ing for a permanent home and a litany of financial and political challenges, the new Hamlin Public Library is now a reality.

The facility - housed in the brand new 5,940 square feet Margaret A. McGrath Building - sits directly south of the Ham-lin Town Hall at 1680 Lake Road (Route 19). The doors opened September 22 for patrons and a grand opening celebration is planned for Saturday, October 25 from 10 a.m. to noon.

We hit the ground running, says Sue Evans, Library Board of Trustees presi-dent. There were 150-200 people the first day.

The opening of the library in a perma-nent location has been like an out of body experience, Evans says, and remembers how the library began in 1999, in one small room provided by the town that had func-tioned as the skating rink warm-up room.

Later, the library moved to a storefront in the IGA Plaza at the southern border of the town. In 2004 and again in 2006 it expanded into additional storefronts. By the time of this years move, the library sprawled along four former storefronts at the plaza.

In contrast, the new library provides a large, welcoming, light-filled open space and is a fully functioning facility that Ev-ans believes has quickly become the heart of the community.

People will now know what libraries are, she says.

The new Hamlin Library was made pos-sible through a series of events which has spanned roughly 10 years and which saw more than its share of challenges.

In 2004, the library received a bequest from the estate of Margaret McGrath for construction of a permanent home.

The sum was substantial, but, was use-less under the current conditions, Evans says. It simply wasnt enough and utilizing town money for construction went nowhere because of the tax issue, Evans says.

The Board of Trustees did as much work as they could, but the construction pr
