CorrectionIn an article about the race for a seat on the Clarkson Town Council, Westside News Inc. (Suburban News/The Herald) was incorrect in stating that Clarkson Town Council candidate Jackie Smith was a life-long Clarkson resident (Page 15 Hamlin-Clarkson Herald, October 26, 2014). She was born in the community and is a graduate of Brockport High School 1989. She has lived in Clarkson nearly nine years.

Settlement reached in Brockport lawsuitby Kristina Gabalski

Norman GianCursio of Brockport says the $67,000 settlement reached in ex-change for dropping his lawsuit filed against Brockport Police Chief Daniel Varrenti and the Village is substantial but, is not nearly enough to repair the damage inflicted on the community.

GianCursio was arrested by Brockport Police in March 2012 and charged with reckless endangerment following a minor fire in 2011 at the home of then Mayor Connie Castaneda. GianCursio was ac-cused of telling a tenant in the home to remain inside during the event to keep the apartment from being discovered.

In September 2012, a Town of Ogden jury found GianCursio not guilty of the charge.

It should be clear to all that even after my acquittal, Varrenti refused to accept re-sponsibility for his own bad judgment and misbehavior and village leaders failed to pull the reins on him, GianCursio said in a statement. He called the arrest political payback to silence his complaints regard-ing the expense to the village of the Police Department. Varrentis reckless behavior forced me to sue him and the village for false arrest, GianCursio said.

When a citizen is a victim of abuse of power by the police, community trust (of) its protectors is eroded, GianCursio said. The Brockport Police Department should be held accountable for the abuse of power and intimidation perpetuated against in-nocent citizens.

GianCursio says, The substantial monetary settlement paid to me by Chief Varrenti and the Village of Brockport

along with the documents they were forced to publicly disclose have vindicated me.

As long as village leaders do not pub-licly stop abuses by the BPD, there will be little faith in our village board, the police, and the new village court, GianCursio continued and added that Chief Varrenti and the Village tried to silence him by de-manding a confidentiality gag order, but he refused.

It was most important to me that the truth be known, he said.

The Confidentiality clause in the settle-ment agreement states: Plaintiff and De-fendants agree that nothing in the agree-ment shall be construed to impose an obligation of confidentiality upon either party.

Also under terms of the agreement, the Village and Chief Varrenti do not admit to any wrongdoing and deny all allegations of wrongdoing.

A primary component of this settle-ment agreement is that neither the vil-lage nor the Chief acknowledge, admit, or are found to have engaged in any miscon-duct or wrongdoing as was alleged by Mr. GianCursio, the Village of Brockport said in a statement prepared by the village at-torney and insurance attorney. The Vil-lage and Chief maintain that they did not engage in any such misconduct or wrong-doing.

While the Village Board and Chief of Police believe that litigation of the issues would have ultimately exonerated them, they approved the settlement as a busi-ness decision made in the best interests of the Village of Brockport, the statement concludes.

College at Brockport students Make a DifferenceThe printed message on the back of the

tee shirts worn by the Delta Phi Epsilon sorority says, We may not have it all to-gether, but together we have it all. In-deed, together they volunteered last Sat-urday, October 25, in the Village of Brock-port on Make a Difference Day, the largest national day of community service.

With shovels, rakes, nippers, wheelbar-rows, and paint brushes in hand, almost 50 college student volunteers weeded, pruned, planted, and painted at vari-ous locations. The sorority and fraternity members of Phi Sigma Sigma, Delta Phi Epsilon, and Alpha Phi Omega at The Col-lege of Brockport completed hours of work - with their successful efforts obvious at the Sweden Senior Center, Corbett and Evergreen Parks, and the Newman Cen-ter.

Todd Dobson of the Town of Sweden Highway Department delivered tools and equipment to the Sweden Senior Center. Marilyn Lafferty of the Sweden Senior Center Association (SSAI) brought home-made breads and cookies, and the students who were supervised by Ilona Tierney, ac-complished clearing the huge flower bed in front of the Center and surrounding ar-eas. They planted hundreds of tulip bulbs

donated by Saras Garden Center, whose co-owner, Kathy Kepler, consulted with supervisors Gary and Lori Skoog, Mary Lynne Turner, and Hanny Heyen on the premises regarding the Centers landscap-ing.

The steps leading up to the Erie Canal from the Evergreen Park have a fresh coat of paint, the grounds at the Newman Cen-ter are refreshed, and the islands of lilac bushes at Corbett Park are cleaned and edged. Thanks go to Department of Pub-lic Works Superintendent Harry Donahue for his assistance with the projects, and to Linda Ketchum, Kristin Stiles, and Joe Blosenhauer of the Village Parks Commit-tee, who supervised and worked with the students.

Millions come together across the USA to volunteer in their communities on Make a Difference Day. In Brockport, college stu-dents made an amazing difference on Sat-urday. Next spring, the results of their ef-forts will be recognized again - with showy lilac blossoms in renewed mulch beds, and hundreds of blooming tulips in front of the Sweden Senior Center.

Swedens proposed budget exceeds tax capby Kristina Gabalski

Sweden Town Board members are expected to adopt the 2015 town budget during a meeting planned for Wednes-day, November 5.

During their regular meeting Tuesday, October 28, council members voted unanimously to over-ride the tax cap for 2015 in preparation for approval of the budget.

During a public hearing on the 2015 Preliminary Bud-get held before the tax cap vote, Supervisor Rob Carges said the Town of Sweden tax levy for 2015 is $78,095.00 above the states cap of 1.56 percent.

Preliminary budget appropriations total $4.9 million with a $2.56 million tax levy.According to a Budget Summary provided by the town, thats a 5.09 percent increase from 2014 in proposed tax. Carges said that translates to a $2.46 tax rate in the Vil-lage of Brockport and a $4.75 tax rate for the town outside the village.

Thats up slightly from a $2.39 tax rate for the village and $4.65 tax rate for the town outside the village in the 2014 budget, he said.

During the public hearing on the tax cap override which followed the public hearing on the budget, residents Thomas and Patricia Pawlaczyk expressed disappoint-ment that the board couldnt come up with $78,000 to meet the tax cap.

Councilperson Robert Muesebeck noted that in the wake of last winters salt usage by the highway depart-ment, the snow removal budget lines for 2015 have been increased.

We have looked at everything, he said. We try to balance the budget and keep everybody happy - its dif-ficult.

Councilperson Rebecca Donohue said the town has re-duced its workforce over the past several years, by not replacing some workers lost through attrition.

The majority of departments we cant cut anymore, it isnt that we havent tried, she said. Theres also the un-known variable of how the court will shake out.

The Village of Brockport is in the process of establish-ing its own court. In the towns tentative 2015 budget, anticipated court fine revenues are down 56 percent, with court expenses remaining the same or increasing slightly, Supervisor Carges wrote in the Fall 2014 town newslet-ter.

Supervisor Carges said during the October 28 meeting, that in order to cut the number of town judges from three to two, town voters must approve - and because of that process, the elimination of a judge position would not oc-cur in the 2015 budget year.

The town is also facing an extra payroll in 2015, a pe-riodic challenge that happens about once every 13 years, town leaders have said.

New name for Sweden Senior CenterAlso at their October 28 meeting, Sweden Town Board members voted to approve a new name for the Sweden Senior Center which was given an additional $25,000 in the 2015 preliminary budget to keep it open.

It will now be known as The Center - A Community Gathering Place.

Hamlin-Clarkson Herald and Suburban News West Edition - November 2, 2014 7Plan 2014 still under fireby some lakeshore groupsby Kristina Gabalski

The Niagara-Orleans Regional Alliance (NORA) continues its fight against Plan 2014 for regulating Lake Ontario Water levels - fearing the lake would see more extremes in wa-ter levels and leading to an eroded shoreline during high water and parched marinas during low levels.

On September 25, NORA co-chairs Orleans County Legislator Lynne Johnson and Niagara County Leg-islator David Godfrey met with International Joint Commission (IJC) officials from the U.S. and Canada to again state their strong opposition to the proposal.

Also in September, the IJC submitted its conclu-sions to the governments of Canada and the U.S. re-garding Plan 2014, asking both governments for views and concurrence on revis-ing the IJCs approval for regulating water levels and flows in Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River.

The meeting attended by Johnson and Godfrey on September 25, was ar-ranged by Congressman Chris Collins and was at-tended by Collins, Gordon Walker, acting chairman, Canadian section; Dereth Glance, commissioner of the U.S. section; and Frank Bevacqua, public informa-tion officer, U.S. section.

The IJC was not very happy with the outcome because the Congressman told them in no uncertain terms - This thing was wrong from the beginning and its going nowhere. You did your job and now we will do ours, we are go-ing to kill this in Washing-ton once and for all, John-son said.

Johnson and Godfrey traveled to Washington D.C. in August to meet with federal officials and state their opposition to the plan. At that time, Godfrey told officials, Our fear is hun-dreds of millions of dollars

of valuable property will be lost from erosion, and sales tax revenues from our fish-ing and recreational boat-ing industry will literally be swept away. The unen-durable result is every tax-payer across our counties will pay the price with high taxes.

In a continuing effort to bring facts to the decision makers in Washington as well as the people, Johnson and Godfrey say they have sent leaders numerous documents detailing ob-jections from such sources as the U.S. Department of Transportation and the St. Lawrence Seaway Manage-ment Corporation.

In its letter to the IJC, the U.S. Department of Transportation states, The DOT cannot support the proposed Plan. As a threshold matter, we ques-tion the IJCs authority to change the current plan without reference to other communications from the U.S. and Canadian gov-ernments ... the proposed adaptive management pro-cess raises concerns that the IJC may make chang-es to the regulation plan without interested users having an opportunity to participate in the process established by the Treaty for public comments. The St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation states in its letter, The Plan 2014, in its present proposed form, will have significant negative impact on commercial navigation during periods of low wa-ter, which are expected to be more frequent in the future ...The Plan ... in an attempt to improve the wetlands ecosystem could bring about unintended consequences that affect other areas of the environ-ment, such that the total negative impacts outweigh the benefits conferred to the wetlands. Legislators Godfrey and Johnson say they applaud Congressman Collins for

his assistance in helping to set up meetings with the IJC. He has been a strong supporter of NORA and our efforts to stop this absur-dity, Johnson said. The IJC has stated that the ecosystem of Lake On-tario and the Upper St. Lawrence River has been unnaturally compressed and harmed by the current plan which hasbeen in place for more than 50 years. Plan 2014 helps restore plant diversity and habi-tat for fish and wildlife by allowing more natural variability in water levels while continuing to moder-ate extreme high and low levels, the IJC said in its Summary of Benefits and Impacts of Plan 2014.

A Forgotten Hero honored in a Morgan-Manning House Nov. 6 presentation

Jack Kowiak returns to the Morgan-Manning House in Brockport with another story of an American hero. His October 2012 presentation The 1942 Doolittle Raid on Tokyo brought a standing room only audience.

On Thursday, November 6, at 7:30 p.m. Kowiak will speak about an unsung hero whose name is not commonly recognized. Have you heard of Nelson Baker? Kowiak asks. Sometimes in the rush to identify new heroes in our society, we often overlook the heroes from our past. This talk will look at the remarkable life of Nelson Baker who was a square peg in a round hole who finally found his niche. Baker ran the largest complex of charitable institutions in the U.S. at the turn of the century. This is an inspirational story of achievement.

Jack Kowiak is a retired market research manager from Eastman Kodak who enjoys researching and presenting topics that he finds interesting. He has made presentations on a variety of topics ranging from plants to history to numerous organizations and public venues in the Rochester area. He also teaches courses at both the RIT Osher and the Oasis Institutes. He resides in Gates.

The presentation is at the Morgan-Manning House, 151 Main Street in Brockport and is sponsored by the Western Monroe Historical Society. Admission is free and refreshments will be served. For information phone the WMHS office at (585) 637-3645.

New anthology crowns Bill Heyens prolific literary careerby Karla Linn Merrifield

Brockport poet William Heyens work has appeared in about 250 anthologies, many from major publishers here and abroad. But, this one is different. The recent appearance of The Oxford Anthology of Contem-porary American Poetry makes it clear that he is considered one of the most important poets of his gen-eration.

This Oxford University Press gathering, edited by Cary Nelson, will be adapted for classes at hundreds of universities, and will be found in bookstores around the world. Bill is represented by nineteen poems, including his well-known Holocaust ballad Riddle, and by po-ems from his Crazy Horse in Stillness.

Bill was not always interested in poetry. He got to Brockport State from Long Island to attend college as a physical education major when he was just sixteen. He played basketball and was an All-American in soccer, but switched to English education, he says, because he felt a different life dawning in him. He graduated in 1961, married Hannelore Greiner in 1962 - they passed their Golden Wedding anniversary a couple years ago. The Heyens left Brockport for six years - Bill got his MA and Ph.D. degrees from Ohio University and taught at SUNY Cortland for two years, then returned to teach American literature and creative writing at

his alma mater. Hanny became director of the Senior Center for several years and then Congressman John LaFalces regional representative for sixteen. The Hey-ens have two children, son Bill and daughter Kristen, and four grandchildren, all teenagers now.

Bill has received many honors including a Senior Fulbright Lectureship to Germany, and Guggenheim, National Endowment for the Arts, and American Acad-emy & Institute of Arts and Letters prizes. His Shoah Train was a National Book Award finalist. He has read and lectured at more than 350 universities over the years, and has edited the major anthology September 11, 2001: American Writers Respond. His poetry has appeared in magazines ranging from the smallest to The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Harpers, and American Poetry Review.

But hes often seen at Brockport and Rochester events, too - dedications, Earth Day celebrations, read-ings along the Canal and has visited local schools to talk about his writing

Having published dozens of books, and having kept a journal that may be the most extensive in American literature, Bill may be the most prolific poet in the country. And, the prestigious new Oxford anthology has now placed him among the poets of our time likely to remain in the American memory.

Poet Bill Heyen cherishes his roots in Brockportby Doug Hickerson

I am pleased to join Karla Linn Merrifield in a trib-ute to Bill Heyen. She has outlined (above) his prolific publishing and the significance of his most recent honor in the literary world. I am writing more personal details about him as one who admires that friend and neighbor who settled in the community 50 years ago.

For years I have valued the wisdom Bill Heyen brings to Brockport celebrations and dedications as our resident poet laureate.

My appreciation for Bill is seen in the message I emailed him after the dedication of new trails in Swe-den Town Park in June 2012. Referring to his words at the dedication, I said, I previously called you the bard of Brockport for similar presentations at exciting events in Brockport. Our village is blessed to have an internationally renowned poet-in-residence, giving the eternal context and spiritual meaning to our events, as one who truly loves the place where he lives.

Meeting Bill recently in his Brockport home, our conversation covered a wide range of his life, his ideas, and his writing. Some of the subjects covered: how he became a renowned poet; how he sees the deeper con-text of our local events; the importance of his extensive handwritten journals. And, there was strong confirma-tion of my hunch that he truly loves the place where he lives.

Evolution of the poet I sensed a different life cresting in me.The most striking irony in Bills story is that the world-famous poet started out as a physical education major at the College at Brockport. In fact, he had to be nudged to go to college. I got to Brockport after being a weak high school student, Bill said. My coach went to Brockport and he asked me if I ever thought of going to college. I said, No .

The switch to an English education major was partly practical and I guess partly spiritual, Bill said. As he wrote in Home (2005), I knew there were few if any available teaching jobs in physical education, and maybe, just maybe, I sensed a different life cresting in me, a life of reading and writing I switched to English education. Having taken no creative writing courses, Bill said, I recall just trying to write poems, just scratching them out. What prompted that? I dont know, maybe because I was heartbroken over some high school girlfriend who had rejected me. Saying his heartbreak might be too trivial to be called trauma, I do believe in the trauma school; that writers get hurt into writing and poets get hurt into poetry. I think that people who are very sane, balanced, and in harmony with themselves dont write lyric poetry ... You get hurt into the life in poetry. We try to find balance, I think, by composing things and, doing so, we compose ourselves.

At Ohio University, in his masters degree program, I got serious about trying to write, Bill said. I would read an anthology with great poets like Richard Wil-bur or James Wright, and I would say, I can do that, I can do that. I would stay up all night long writing, scratching things out when I should have been reading Victorian novels for classes.

Then, he challenged himself to be published. I re-member wandering around the library and saying, I

am going to get in one of those magazines. I kept send-ing out and getting rejections. All of a sudden, bam, I started hitting some magazines. While still in his masters program his poems were published in maga-zines like American Scholar, The Nation, and the New York Times editorial page. The acceptances kept com-ing until now his poems, stories and essays have been published in more than 200 anthologies and 300 presti-gious periodicals such as Atlantic, The New Yorker, and Harpers. Its a thrill to see your name in print, Bill said. There is nothing like it; its wonderful.

Bard of Brockport a deeper dimension brought to local eventsAsked about his role at Brockport ceremonies, Bill said, These occasions need something poetic about them so we realize, as were standing here, we are profoundly within Time together as a kind of community .

Bill spoke at the dedication of the newly renovated Main Street, November 14, 2011. Prompting the audi-ence to appreciate the immediate moment in the flow of history, his statement included:

What Id like for all of us as we drive Main Street, and as we park and walk and shop and visit over a cup of coffee or have dinner or go to a movie, is to be conscious, during our present, of the long continuum of villagers and students and business folks and shoppers who have intersected time and space here, who drove their buggies and Model As here and brought food to market here and firewood and loaded and unloaded Canal vessels here and went to war from here. We are all a human community through Time.

In the interview for this article Bill expressed a deep belief about human existence in this sense of time. I want to continue to remind myself and hopefully many of my poems carry this -- of the mere miracle of our existence. There are, I forget, 20 or 30 billion stars in our Milky Way - and there are billions of Milky Ways - and that we exist at all is something profound. If we snap out of our jaded existence, if we snap out of our habitual life, then we can maybe appreciate this profound sense of space and time that we all share to-gether.

Handwritten journals - The journals unify everything else of mine.An astounding revelation is that Bill had been hand-writing his daily journals since 1964, when he was 24 years old. He sits in his easy chair every morning and pens his thoughts in a free flow of consciousness with myriad ideas and observations. He fills the blank pages of bound hardback books, currently writing in volume #59.

The journals unify everything else of mine because I write about my trips, my poems, and my reading, Bill said. Its the journal that keeps company with all the other books; all these things come together.

He read to me todays entries which included, summed up: the war in Kobani, the girl across the street just got on the school bus, Han will drive to Sues for sewing, Doug and Dianne are coming today, maybe hell go to the soccer game at 4 oclock, comments about

the book he is reading, and seemingly guilty reflections about his own comfort and safety in face of horrific news out in the world. Who knows what will be signifi-cant 100 years from now, Bill said about the fact that he edits nothing. I held the current volume #59. What you are holding in your hand now, he said, every word is going to be exactly like that when the book is printed.

Bill transcribes the handwritten words with his own typing. It is his typed manuscripts that are published. The first was The Cabin: Journal 1964 1984. The latest journal published is Hannelore: Journal 1984 1990. The third anticipated soon is called Poker & Poets: Journal 1990 1995. The first two journals have almost half a million words each; the third has just over 400,000.

Why cursive writing? There is a sense in which the journal is a companion, Bill said. Young people these days can have the fusion of mind and fingers and work on a machine. I cant do that. I can have intimacy and companionship only with cursive. He reflected back to fourth grade at home when he would enjoy practicing cursive by just copying sentences out of the encyclo-pedia. It was a pleasure making sentences on memo pads, he said. Now I have the pleasure of these hard-back journals, and I am making my own sentences in-stead of copying them. Bill expressed appreciation for local news stories about advocates attempting to revive cursive writing.

At the end of it all: Family, friends, love, and homeI asked Bill where he is in life right now and what the most recent honor means to him. I am going to say, as always, the most important thing is family, friends, love, and home, he said. Earlier he had stated, We have to constantly remind ourselves how fleeting time is and how lucky we are.

I live such a good life now, Bill said. I am so lucky. I am so lucky. Bills good fortune centers on home and his marriage. I do have a sense of home, he said. Thats the most profound word in the language for me - HOME. And, Hannelore and I have been on the same wavelength about that ever since we have been mar-ried.

Bill mentioned other aspects of his happy life, includ-ing good conversations in visits with long-time special friends. And, citing many of his works about to be published, he said, At the end of my life I know I am writing better now. Even if I am deluding myself, its a healthy delusion. I just think my poems are just better, stronger and more readable.

Bills reflections suggest the core of his good fortune was his fulfilling career as a professor, enjoying pub-lishing and teaching, for almost 50 years at his alma mater. And, it was in those undergraduate years, when that coach-to-be turned poet, that deep friend-ships started to develop. Upon completing his Ph.D. he felt called back to his home. In his book by that title, referring to his .95 acre of land, he says, Ive had opportunities for more prestigious jobs at more pres-tigious universities. But, I know that in this floating world this small property of house, trees, lawns, cabin within this village, this woof and warp of generations of Brockport friends, is crucial to me. More and more, Im reluctant to leave this acre for any length of time.

Bill Heyen relaxes in the Brockport home he has cherished for 45 years. I do have a sense of home, he said in this story. Thats the most profound word in the language for me - HOME. Photo by Dianne Hickerson.

Grand scale roofing project at the historic Ogden Baptist Church on Washington Street --The second section of the replacement roof is close to being lowered to the building support October 27. See page one for more photos by Walter Horylev.

Three plywood-covered truss sections sit on the ground just prior to raising one section to fill the empty space in the roof.

The second plywood-covered truss section of the roof is carefully lowered in place, guided by construc-tion workers from Cornell Construction Design, a company based in Rochester. Owner Bob Cornell observed the work going on during the day. He commented: Im mostly concerned with the safety of the workers. There are a lot of people on that roof, demolition workers, construction workers, roofing people and people involved with the operation of the crane.Photos at left:

The second section of the roof is in place. Plywood secured across the seam of the first replacement section and this section will strengthen the roof. The reframing of the old front section of the roof can be seen on the left of the photo.

The new section of roof has been installed and shows a mismatch in slope with the old roof. According to church trustee David Haines: We knew the match would not be perfect. The old section of roof, sup-porting the steeple, needs to be reframed to match the slope of the new roof. David added: Bob Cornell and his crew have been great; the communication has also been great.

A bit of Ogden Baptist Church building history Members of the congregation at Ogden Baptist

Church on Washington Street have a lot of history of their church to recount. There were 13 original members who started Ogden Baptist Church May 21, 1819. The group was unable to support a full time minister or a church building, therefore they met several years in private dwellings, a log schoolhouse, or on more important occasions in empty barns. The first house of worship was built around 1824-25 near Ogden Center on land donated by Col. Eastman Colby. The first meeting house must not have been too satisfactory for in April 1832 they voted to hold meetings at the white house owned by Brother Ross near the schoolhouse on Colby Street until the present church building was constructed. The first meet-ing in the church building was May 23, 1833.

The church voted to incorporate in 1912, and in 1913 another extensive remodeling took place. Hardwood floors and the present stained glass windows and a center aisle were installed as features of the sanctuary. Sometime around 1927 the church switched from kerosene lamps to electricity.

The church needed to support the cross beams in the ceiling and during that time a telephone pole sprouted up in the sanctuary and stayed there until September 1949. In 1951-2 a Fel-lowship Hall with a stage was built replacing the back room. A study, kitchen and a bathroom were also added. In 1957, the bylaws were amended and we changed our name from the First Baptist Church of Ogden to the Ogden Baptist Church. In 1958 the lighted cross, which was a memorial, was installed. Starting in March 1972, church services were held in Fellowship Hall because the ceiling of the sanctuary was found to be unsafe. The new ceiling, with a beautiful chandelier given as a memorial gift, was installed in Mach 1973. April 1982 was the biggest project of the year. The floor was releveled, the walls and ceiling areas were spackled, replastered, and painted. New steps were built across the front and south platform. The pews were rebuilt, painted and varnished. Carpeting was installed throughout the sanctuary with matching seat cushions and Baptistry curtains.

Election DayTuesday, November 4

Three statewide proposals on Nov. 4 ballotsby Kristina Gabalski

Voters will be asked to decide on three statewide ballot proposals this Election Day, Tuesday, November 4.

Proposal One - Revising States Redistricting ProcedureThis proposed amendment would reform the process of establishing new state legislative and Congressional dis-trict lines that the Constitution requires every ten years, beginning in 2020.

According to the NY State Board of Elections, if the pro-posal is approved, a redistricting commission will be es-tablished to determine lines for legislative and Congres-sional districts, subject to adoption of the commissions plan by the Legislature and approval by the Governor.

Currently, the Legislature is the entity responsible for establishing these lines.

Included in the proposed amendment are qualifications for the members of the commission - eight of whom would be appointed by the four state legislative leaders and two of whom would be appointed by the first eight members of the commission.

The proposed amendment would also establish princi-ples to be applied in creating districts and prohibits leg-islators and other elected officials from serving as com-missioners.

The proposal also requires the commission to hold pub-lic hearings on proposed redistricting plans and provides for funding and bi-partisan staff to work for the commis-sion.

Proposal Two - Permitting Electronic Distributionof State Legislative BillsThis proposed amendment would allow electronic distri-bution of a state legislative bill to satisfy the Constitu-tional requirement that a bill be printed and on the desks of state legislators at least three days before it is voted on by the Legislature.

Currently, this requirement can only be satisfied by the distribution of a printed copy of the bill.

The proposal establishes requirements for electronic distribution including legislators must be able to review the electronically-sent bill at their desks, that they must be able to print the bill if they choose, and that the bill

cannot be changed electronically without leaving a record of the changes.

Proposal Three - Smart Schools Bond Act of 2014According to the NY State Board of Elections, this proposal authorizes the creation of state debt and the sale of state bonds up to the amount of $2 Billion ($2,000,000,000) to provide money for capital projects that would provide ac-cess to classroom technology and high speed internet con-nectivity to equalize opportunities for children to learn.

The types of projects covered by the proposal include: acquisition of interactive white boards, computer servers, and desktop, laptop and tablet computers; installation of high-speed broadband or wireless internet connectivity for schools and communities; construction, enhancement and modernization of educational facilities to accommo-date pre-kindergarten programs and provide instruc-tional space to replace transportable classroom units; and installation of high-tech security features in school build-ings and on school campuses.

Get out & grow!by Kristina Gabalski

Garden color from unusual elementsIn my yard its one of the most antici-

pated harbingers of spring - bright yellow forsythia which brings pockets of sunshine to even the drabbest of early spring days. This undemanding easy care shrub pro-vides structure to my plantings all sum-mer and, now in late autumn, has been adding color even after much of the bright autumnal foliage has fallen from decidu-ous trees.

The forsythia foliage turns a mix of col-ors - from yellows to reds to deep burgundy - which I find very pretty. The color begins early in October and persists into Novem-ber.

Other common and easy-care shrubs also provide lovely color and interest in fall, even though they are typically planted for their spring or summer blooms. Spirea turns golden and burgundy with splashes of bright red and orange. One of my vari-eties has several blooms right now in late autumn in addition to the colorful foliage.

Viburnum (Viburnum trilobum) has while flower clusters in spring and in fall

the leaves turn bright red/orange. Some have shiny red berry clusters which add to the autumnal show.

For all their spring glory, lilacs look pretty dreadful by this time of year. One exception, however, are my Miss Kim Ko-rean lilacs whose leaves turn a deep pur-ple/burgundy before they fall - which is a little earlier than my other shrubs.

Its nice to have a plant that offers multi-season interest such as these shrubs. They add plenty of interest to my yard at this time of year even though most of them arent planted specifically for a fall show.

Of course, there are many varieties of shrubs which are well-known for their au-tumn display of color.

I have aptly-named Burning Bush (Eu-onymus alatus) which grows quite large and has a rounded shape with deep green leaves all summer. In fall the leaves turn a spectacular crimson red/pink and the plant also produces small, orange-colored berries. Ive read that in some places in New England the plant is considered in-vasive as it will become so under certain conditions.

Here are some other shrubs which offer amazing fall color:

Smoke bush (Cotinus coggygria) is a spectacular shrub in autumn. This plant can get large so give it a spot with some room and prune out unwanted branches after flowering. The foliage turns brilliant red and orange in the fall.

Chokeberry (Aronia arbutifolia) has white flowers in spring and brilliant or-ange/red foliage in fall. It also produces red fruit in late summer/autumn. Service-berry (Amelanchier canadensis) also has white spring flowers and orange and red autumn foliage. Fothergilla (Fothergilla major) sports blue-green foliage in spring and summer and gold and orange leaves in the fall. Oak leaf hydrangea (Hydrangea quericifolia) produces white blooms in the summer. In autumn the leaves are deep burgundy.

To really pump up your autumn land-scape, consider mixing shrubs with orna-mental grasses. The combination of col-ored leaves and seed heads on the grass is beautiful and produces movement in the garden. The grass will keep up interest even after the leaves drop.

I am putting the planting more autumn-interest shrubs on my to-do list for next year. Now is a good time to get inspira-tion by taking notice of what looks good in yards at this time of year. Garden centers also typically feature seasonal shrubs in their displays. Once established, shrubs are some of the easiest plants to grow and they add so much to the landscape year-round.

Fall foliage elements (from top left counter-clockwise) Blue Muffin Viburnum (Viburnum dentatum) has white flower clusters in spring that develop into deep-blue berries which the birds consume immediately. In the fall the leaves are a mix of orange/yellow/red/bur-gundy. Spirea bountiful flowers in late spring, very colorful in the fall -- and easy to grow. Shrubs and ornamental grasses blend together in the autumn landscape. Forsythia foliage in multi hues. K Gabalski photos.

FUNERALS COMFORT THE LIVING

www.burgerfuneralhome.com

If you need further reason to preplan a funeral, think about how it will help your family make the transition after your death. Aside from providing the living with the opportunity to commemorate a life that has been lived, a funeral helps grief-stricken individuals take the first step toward accepting the reality of death and pay their final respects. This process can be helped enormously by the show of emotional support made by family and friends. Funerals also help the bereaved by allowing them to view the body and, thereby, overcome the denial that psychologists have established is a natural part of the grieving process. Funerals are for the living so that they

might begin to find acceptance and peace. A funeral is a meaningful event that can help ease

the pain of separation that naturally accompanies death. It is a time of sharing good memories and experiences with family and friends. It is a time when respect, concern, and appreciation for a life that has been lived can be expressed in a sincere manner. For more information about the funeral services THOMAS E. BURGER FUNERAL HOME offers, please call 585-392-7100. We are available seven days a week, 24 hours a day, and we are located at 735 East Avenue. Family owned and trusted since 1976.
