A message from the supervisor’s office
The Sweden Town Board would
like to thank all of our citizens who
recently participated in rezoning
hearings. The processes have been
beneficial to all of us as we have
learned more about our environment, our neighborhoods and the
sometimes changing needs of our
community.
The first application, by Patriot
Management, was to change .91
acre from residential to commercial
zoning for the purpose of constructing five apartment buildings. The
Lake Road parcel is rather unique
in that most of the four acres are
already zoned commercial, but the
rear of the lot is split-zoned residential and adjoins a residential
neighborhood on Sweden Lane,
Hollybrook Road and Brookdale.
The Town Board held a public
hearing on January 29 which was well
attended. Residents expressed concerns about drainage and flooding;
traffic, density and more. The Board
also received comments from several
agencies and a petition from more
than 200 citizens.
While most of the comments were
not in favor of the zoning change, our
residents were generous in noting
that Patriot Management has been
doing an outstanding job of improving
and maintaining the existing apartments on Sweden Lane. We all came
away believing that owner Phil Miglioratti was committed to building a
quality project.
Nevertheless, the Board voted unanimously to deny the rezoning request.
We believe it is in the best interest of
the community for that small slice of
Patricia P. Connors
land to remain residential.
Mr. Miglioratti has since filed an
application for planning board ap-

Danielle Windus-Cook returns to Sweden Town Board
On March 12, former Sweden Town Board member Danielle Windus-Cook was appointed to the vacancy created
by the resignation of Councilperson Kevin G. Johnson.
Mr. Johnson resigned in order to accept a position as
Sweden Town Justice (see article page 3).
Ms. Windus-Cook had resigned from the Town Board in
September 2010 in order to spend more time with her
high school-age son and focus on her business, Danielle
Windus-Cook Properties.
Even after leaving the Town Board in 2010, WindusCook remained active in Town programs. She is the chair
of the Sweden Farmers Museum, a member of the Harvest Festival Committee and is chairing the Town of Sweden’s Bicentennial Celebration Committee.
Danielle WindusCook returns to
the Sweden Town
Board after a twoyear hiatus. She had
previously served on
the Board from
2002—2010. Windus-Cook also
chairs the Sweden
Farmers Museum
and the Bicentennial
Committee.

Guess who turns 200 in 2014? The Town of Sweden!
April 5, 1814 is an important date in local history. It’s
the date that residents gathered at the home of Reuben
Stickney on the corner of Lake and Swamp Roads to hold
the first official Town Meeting of the Town of Sweden.
In 2014, the Town of Sweden will celebrate its bicentennial—paying tribute to 200 years of agricultural, industrial, academic, recreational and philanthropic achievements. From a tiny community of 140 electors (free males
of voting age) in 1814 to a population exceeding 14,000 in
the 2010 census, the Town of Sweden has grown, prospered and... retained its rural charm.
To mark Sweden’s 200th birthday, the Town Board has
commissioned a committee to develop programming and
schedule special events that capture the essence of our
community. The committee is comprised of a cross-section
of residents with a variety of interests and talents.
A slate of monthly activities for 2014 is being developed
and a schedule will be announced in September 2013.
Some of the ideas include: an outdoor skating party, Civil
War reenactment, strawberry social, movie night, barn
dance, historic house tour, barn tour, quilt show, reenactment of the first Town Meeting, gala and more.
Watch for the schedule of events to be published this
September in the Suburban News, on the Town of Sweden website and in this publication. We’re also looking for
photos, newspaper clippings or memorabilia of life in
the Town of Sweden from the past 200 years. If you
have an item you would like to share, call 637-7588.

Kevin G. Johnson appointed as Sweden Town Justice
The Sweden Town Board has appointed Kevin G.
Johnson to the Town Justice vacancy created by the
resignation of Carl Coapman. Johnson had been a
member of the Sweden Town Board prior to his appointment as Town Justice.
As a licensed attorney, Johnson was able to assume
the duties of Town Justice immediately, rather than
having to wait for the semi-annual training New York
State offers for lay-judges.
Johnson is a long-time Brockport resident having
earned his undergraduate degree from St. John Fisher
and his Juris Doctorate from SUNY Buffalo Law
School. He began his law career with Thomas & Solomon, LLP before becoming the managing partner of
Klafehn, Heise and Johnson in 2010. The firm is located on Main Street, Brockport, in the building that
once housed the law firm of William J. Cody, also a former Sweden Town Justice.
Johnson has extensive community service as a member of the Brockport Volunteer Fire Department, Christ
Community Church, Lakeside Health System Foundation Board and Brockport Lions Club. He has previously served on the Sweden Board of Assessment Re-

Johnson’s appointed term as Town Justice expires December 31, 2013. He will stand for election in November
for a full four-year term commencing January 1, 2014.
Free rabies clinic scheduled for Saturday, May 11
The Town of Sweden’s annual rabies clinic for dogs and
cats will be held on Saturday, May 11 from 9 am to 12
noon at the Sweden Highway Garage, 40 White Road
(just west of Route 19).
For everyone’s safety, children should be kept away from
other pets. All dogs must be leashed and strictly controlled. Cats should be in sturdy carriers.
In order to receive a vaccination, pets must be at least
three months of age. Proof of a previous vaccination is
required in order for the pet to receive a three-year rabies
shot; otherwise a one-year initial rabies shot will be
given.
All pet owners are welcome to take advantage of this
rabies clinic regardless of residency. The Sweden Town
Board considers it an important public safety program.
The Town of Clarkson will offer a similar free rabies
clinic on Saturday, June 8 from 1:30 to 3:30 pm at the
Clarkson Highway Garage, 3623 Lake Road
For more information about either clinic, please call
Dog Control Officer Kathy Beaumont at 637-4260.
Honor Flight Rochester expands mission to Korean veterans
Honor Flight Rochester has expanded its program that
provides free Washington DC trips for World War II veterans to include Korean War veterans. Since 2009, the
Rochester group has flown more than 1,225 veterans to
Washington DC for a two-day visit.
The trip includes a stop at the Korean War Veterans
Memorial which stands just south of the Reflecting Pool
on the National Mall and was dedicated in 1995. Its
theme is “Freedom is not Free. Our nation honors her
sons and daughters, who answered the call to defend a
country they never knew and a people they never met.”
There are approximately 5,384 Korean War veterans in
the greater Monroe County area.
More than 36,000 Americans were killed in the Korean
War, another 103,00 wounded and more than 8,100
missing in action during the three-year conflict.

Town acquires Owens Road site; will construct safety facility
In mid-February, the Town of Sweden acquired a 17acre parcel on the east side of Owens Road just south of
the railroad tracks, most easily recognized as the site of
the Soldiers Memorial Tower.
The property had been owned by the Brockport Rural
Cemetery Association which ceded the property and its
financial assets to the Town. In exchange, the Town of
Sweden has promised to safeguard the remnants of the
Soldiers Memorial Tower which will include repairing
the structural buttresses, fencing the tower for safety,
installing an historical site sign and maintaining the
property immediately around the tower. Three graves
are located on the site.
The bulk of the parcel will be turned over to the Brockport Fire District upon completion of the construction of
a public safety facility. The Town of Sweden will retain
ownership of the area immediately surrounding the
Tower and will have a public access driveway bypassing

proval for the construction of three apartment buildings
on the commercial portion of the lot. His application is to
construct fewer apartments buildings than originally
intended during the rezoning request. The application
will now move through the planning board process which
will include another public hearing.
We hope that our residents remain engaged and help
the planning board and developer design a project that
will be beneficial to the community.
Another rezoning application, this time for a property
on Sweden Walker Road, was filed and a public hearing
held on March 12. The 115.67-acre parcel is also currently split-zoned—part residential and part heavy industrial. Owners Mike and Janice Waeghe have requested rezoning the entire parcel to recreation commercial for the purpose of operating periodic “mud-runs.”
Recreation Commercial (B-3) differs from Retail Commercial (B-1) and Airport Commercial (B-2) in that it
permits development such as golf courses, driving
ranges, riding academies, public swimming pools, etc.
At the time of this publication, comments from many
residents and agencies had been received, as well as the
public hearing held, but no determination on the rezoning application has been made.
Establishing our Town’s zoning and amending it from
time to time are among the Town Board’s most important responsibilities. We weigh each request carefully
and we not only welcome public input, we encourage it.
To check on the status of any rezoning application, call
the Town Clerk’s office at 637-2144 or the Supervisor’s
office at 637-7588.
the public safety building.
The Town Board authorized public bids for
the public safety facility
on March 12 and expects to award the winning bid in April. Construction should be
complete by the end of
2013. The facility will
include one truck bay, a
meeting room, office
and restrooms. The
building has been designed for ease of future Rob Carges, Councilperson
expansion.
This activity is the final piece of intermunicipal cooperation/legislation that created the Brockport Fire District.
In 2010, the Town of Sweden entered a Memorandum of
Understanding with the Village of Brockport and Town of
Clarkson to turn over financial, equipment and real property assets to the proposed Fire District. Sweden’s real
property contribution is the public safety facility.
A committee with representation from the Town of Sweden, Brockport Fire Department and Fire District met to
choose the site. The benefits of the Owens Road location
are several: the land was already off the tax roll; the association was willing to donate the property to the Town; it
provides a public safety location in Sweden outside the
village borders; its close location to several residential
areas provides recruitment opportunities; and it provides
quicker access to the south side of Town without canal
bridge or village traffic congestion.
Site work on the property will be done by the Sweden
Highway Department and will commence as soon as
weather permits.

Sweden Town Board fills vacancies
On January 22, Kevin M. Johnson was appointed to a
vacancy on the Zoning Board of Appeals. The ZBA meets
as needed to hear requests for area or use variances.
Board members serve five year terms. Mr. Johnson’s
term expires December 31, 2013 at which time he will be
eligible for a full five-year appointment.
On March 12, the Town Board appointed David Young
to the Board of Assessment Review. The BAR meets on
the fourth Tuesday of each May to hear challenges to the
assessment roll. Mr. Young’s appointment expires September 30, 2014. He will then be eligible for a full-term.

Fishing in New York State
Adults starting at the age of 16 must have a license in
order to fish in New York State. There are several license
options for both resident and non-resident fishers; they
include lifetime, annual, seven-day, one-day, and hunting
license combinations. A $5 license is available for seniors
70 years of age and older and for military disabled. Free
licenses are available to NYS residents who are blind,
active duty service members and active reservists.
Fishing for certain species is regulated by season; other
species are fair game all year long. The rules vary by regions of the state and even specific waters. In addition,
some counties have special regulations. There are also
rules regarding size and number of fish that can be
caught in a day or season.
When it’s not snowing, the Sweden Highway Department is busy keeping motorists safe by clearing brush
from the sides of the roads. The Town grinds the
brush and uses the chips at various Town facilities.
The crew also replaces damaged mailboxes and on
warm days fills potholes with cold-weather patch.
Pictured above are highway crew members Brian
Ingraham, Colin Martin and Dick Lane.
There are special free fishing days this year—June 29
and 30, 2013—when anyone can fish in fresh or marine
waters of New York State without a fishing license. It’s a
great chance to give fishing a try. For more information
about this special program or fishing regulations in general, contact the DEC’s Region 8 office at 585-226-2466 or
visit [email protected] .
Fishing licenses are available at the Sweden Town Hall
during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, 9
am to 5 pm and in June, July and August from 8:30 am to
4:30 pm. For more information, call the Town Clerk’s office at 637-2144.

Lakeview Cemetery is a beautiful final resting place
Lakeview Cemetery, located at 4988 Lake Road in the
Town of Sweden, sits atop of the Town’s most noteworthy natural feature—the Niagara Escarpment. With a
spectacular view that on clear days stretches to Lake
Ontario 10 miles to the north, the presence of stately,
mature trees and meticulously maintained grounds,
Lakeview Cemetery is the first choice of many families
in the greater Rochester area when choosing a final
resting place for their loved ones.
One of the benefits of purchasing a cemetery plot at
Lakeview is knowing that the Town of Sweden is committed to maintaining the property to the highest standards. Dedicated staff keeps the cemetery facilities in
excellent repair and seasonal summer help makes sure
that the lawn is kept trim and neat at all times.
Cemetery plots cost $525—there are more than 200
sites currently surveyed to choose from. The cemetery
has several more acres of unsurveyed land that will
provide plots long into the future.
Sweden provides burial services and winter storage.
In addition, the former caretakers home which has been
restored to its 1840s appearance and serves as the Swe-
den Farmers Museum, may be reserved for use as a small
gathering following a funeral service.
For information regarding the purchase of plots at Lakeview Cemetery, please call Superintendent Fred Perrine

Celebrate World Water Day, March 22, 2013
Water is essential to life and makes life as we know it
possible. It covers 70% to 75% of the Earth’s surface,
yet 97.5% of the water on Earth is salt water. If all the
Earth’s water could fit in a standard bucket, only one
teaspoon would be drinkable.
turbations have multiple effects. Rapid urbanization,
unpredictable extreme weather events, climate change,
industrialization and pollution threaten the resource
while demand for water is constantly increasing with the
growing world population of over seven billion people.
Of all the water on the Earth, humans can use only
about three tenths of one percent. Such usable water is
found in groundwater aquifers, rivers and freshwater
lakes. Growing populations,
weather, irresponsible practices, wastefulness, chemical
contaminates and climate
change are increasing pressures on this most valuable
natural resource reserve.
Water for the Future was the theme for World Water
Day 2003 coordinated by the United Nations Environment Committee. It called on each one of us to maintain
and improve the quality and quantity of fresh water
available to future generations. The goal was to inspire
political and community action and encourage greater
global understanding of the need for more responsible
water use and conservation.
The United Nations General
Assembly declared March 22,
1993 the first World Water
Day realizing the world’s growing water crisis threatens the
sustainability of health, social
and economic development.
World Water Day is held annually on March 22 as a means of focusing attention on
the importance of the Earth’s freshwater resources.
Groundwater is often referred to as the invisible resource that half the world relies on for drinking water
and for other uses. The UN is concerned about three
primary gaps in groundwater management which have
enormous implications for sustainable development:
1.
The accelerated degradation of groundwater systems through pollution of aquifers
2.
The lack of both professional and public awareness
about the sustainable use and economic importance
of groundwater resources generally
3.
The economic implications of not resolving groundwater demand and supply management
Groundwater makes up about 20% of the world’s fresh
water supply which is about 0.61% of the entire world’s
water including oceans and permanent ice.
The United States Geological Survey figures for 2005
state that groundwater provides an estimated:

22% of all freshwater withdrawals

37% of agricultural use (mostly for irrigation)

37% of the public water supply withdrawals

51% of all drinking water for the total population

99% of drinking water for the rural population
Good management of water is challenging due to some
of its unique characteristics. The hydrological cycle is
highly complex, water is unevenly distributed and per-
World Water Day, March 22, 2013 focuses on International Water Cooperation and implies an interdisciplinary approach bringing in scientific, cultural and educational factors including social, political, religious, ethical,
legal and economic aspects.
