Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand responds to a question from the audience
at Wagner’s Apple Ridge Orchard in Wolcott. Gillibrand met
with about 30 local farmers and others concerned about local
agriculture on Aug. 25 as part of a daylong “listening tour” of
upstate New York. Most who spoke at the meeting expressed the
need for consistent access to migrant labor.

New Store in Clyde
Submitted by Roland Micklem
I
t’s only been a few years since
the P&C Food Store in Clyde
packed up and left town, but
to me-as well as to the good citizens of Clyde and the surrounding area-it seemed like a lifetime.
Minus the P&C, we had to make
do with the Dollar Store behind
the library, which offers canned
and packaged food, but no fresh
cut animal flesh or anything with
leaves or peelings. For me and
other folks without their own set
of motorized wheels, getting fresh
meat and produce in the absence
of store within walking or biking distance was a challenge we
Walt Votra
didn’t need, given the smorgasbord of other problems we have
to deal with every day.

re your kids ready for
the rigors of learning?
Children have to be
well-fed and rested in order
to gain the most from their
time in the classroom. Unfortunately, appreciable numbers
of kids head to school without
the basics they need to excel. Drooping eyelids prevent
students from keeping their
educational goals in sight, and
a growling stomach can drown
out the sound of learning. The
Lakeshore News offers parents
a few tips to help them prepare
their kids for that first bell-and
every one thereafter.

To the Editor:
I found this in my email the other day and thought I would share
it with everyone.
...Just because they borrowed my money, doesn’t make my
benefits some kind of charity or handout. Congressional benefits
life free health care, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid
holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days:
now that’s welfare; and they have the nerve to call my retirement
entitlements.
Someone please tell me what the devil is wrong with all the
people that run this country.
We’re broke and can’t help our seniors, veterans, orphans, homeless, etc.?
In recent months, probably years now, we have provided aid to
Haiti, Chile, Pakistan..home of Bin Laden...literally billions of
dollars.
Our retired seniors living on fixed incomes receive no aid, nor
do they get any breaks while our government gives hundreds of
billions to foreign countries.
They call Social Security and Medicare entitlements, even though
most of us have been paying for them all our working lives. And
now, when it’s time for us to collect, the government is running
out of money, and in recent months they have had the nerve to
upset our people by saying they weren’t going to send their Social
Security checks. Can you imagine the boom-a-rang effect that
would have? Think about it. Why did the government borrow
from our Social Security in the first place? If it was us doing that,
it would be called embezzlement.
We have many adoptable children in the U.S. who are shoved
aside (because they have made the laws of adoption so strict here
in the U.S.A.) to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans.
The question should be why.
America: a country where we have homeless without shelter,
children going to bed hungry, elderly going without needed medications, mentally ill going without treatment, and what about the
rest of us that just want a decent living to be able to take care of
our own.
Imagine if our government gave us the same support they give
the people who hate us? And imagine if our government representatives, including our president and past presidents, unlined
their pockets and tried living like most of us: check to check. Bet
they couldn’t do it!
People, something needs to be done, but how to go about it?

175th Anniversary
Celebrated in Butler
Contributed by Dorothy Wiggins, Butler Town Historian
T
he Butler Historical Preservation Society would like to
thank all who helped and / or attended the 175th anniversary celebration of the Butler Center Church on Sunday,
August 14, 2011.
Festivities started with a church service. This was attended
by members of the Butler, Countryside and Victory Methodist
Churches. Many others joined these congregations to fill the
church to capacity. Pastor Mary Robinson gave the sermon portraying Antoinette Brown Blackwell, the first woman ordained as
a minister in the U.S. This historic ordination took place in South
Butler, New York on September 15, 1853. The scripture was read by
Rev. Hani Khoury, a former pastor of the church. The benediction
was given by Rev. Daniel Benedict. Rev. Benedict, in 1966, rode
his horse to the Butler Center Church, reenacting the Methodist
Circuit Riders of the past.
The church service was followed by a delicious chicken barbecue
prepared and served by the South Butler Fire Department.
Many people then participated in a cemetery walk in the cemetery
behind the church. Nine former residents of the Town of Butler
were featured. Bertha VanVleck was portrayed by Barb Mead,
Thomas Armstrong by Morgan Deleel, James Wing by Bob Stell,
John Seymour Roe by Henry Felker, Lucius Viele by Dic Lasher,
Lydia Prichard by Sharon Roberts, Chloe Trent Hibbard by Carol
Spellman, Lucius Hibbard by Tyler Deleel and Abel Wing by Al
Keebler.
Next came a delightful and inspiring program in the very warm,
packed church. The Wilted Lilies, a very enthusiastic group of
singers from the Montezuma area started things off. A short history of the Butler Center Church was given by Dorothy Wiggins,
Butler Town Historian. A community choir directed by Joan
Youngman and accompanied by Kalen Lange, presented four
numbers - “Church in the Wildwood,” “Impossible Dream,” “Lord’s
Prayer” and “May the Good Lord Bless and Keep You.” Kaylen
Lange received a standing ovation for his wonderful piano solo.
The program closed by more songs from the Wilted Lilies.
The day ended with the annual ice cream social and band concert. Rain failed to dampen the wonderful music of the Red Creek
Legion Band or the audience’s appetite for ice cream.
Parking was at the Butler Town Hall and Butler Highway Department. People were shuttled to and from the church grounds by
horses and wagons.
New Clyde Store
I therefore found cause for
celebration when Scrap Paper
reader June Blake emailed me
with the news that there was a
new store in Clyde that would
be carrying a respectable inventory of meats, veggies and
fruit, and other items that we’d
been having to leave town to
procure.
Walt’s Hometown Meats and
Deli on Columbia street across
the way from the laundromat,
opened its doors a week or so
ago with so little fanfare that I’d
passed it by several times without noticing it was there.
Walt Votra was owner and
operator of the Red and White
Food Store in North Rose from
1989 until May of ‘11, when the
business climate forced him
to close. He’d been with the
store since 1980, when it was
under the ownership and management of his father-in-law,
Joseph Cimineri. At the urging of his wife Joanne-and as
Walt admits, against his better
judgment-he reopened in Clyde.
Thanks to his landlord, Tom
Whitcomb, who rejuvenated the
space and was willing to charge
an affordable rent, Walt’s enterprise is up and running and
promises to be a real asset to
the community.
Although the shelves were not
completely full during my visit,
Walt intends to carry a complete
inventory of dairy products,
meats, fresh baked goods, bananas and other fruit, fresh
vegetables, plus fruit salads,
ham and cheese quiche, subs,
and other items from the deli.
He’ll be able to serve folks who
rely on the electronic equivalent
of food stamps as soon as he
receives his EBT (Electronic
Benefits Transfer) authorization. The store will celebrate
its Grand Opening over the
Labor day weekend. Its hours:
Monday through Friday from 9
to 6, and Saturdays 8 to 4.
Walt’s new store has greatly
simplif ied my own routine.
Riding a bicycle in hot weather,
which I have to do much of the

time in order to get where I need
to go, causes me to sweat and
lose needed salts, which if not
replaced, result in the onset of
painful leg cramps a few hours
after I’ve quit riding for the
day. One of these salts contains
potassium, and bananas are
about the most potassium rich
food one is likely to find. And
since perishables like bananas
are found only in grocery stores,
and since there was no grocery
store within 10 miles of my digs
in Savannah, to get this necessary dietary supplement meant
cranking out a minimum of 20
miles, often as not in weather
that was too hot, too cold, too
windy, too rainy or snowy, or
in other words, too extreme to
be out in the open on a pedal
powered machine.
But the distance bet ween
Clyde and Savannah is a totally
manageable one, and as I go
to Clyde almost every day on
some errand or another, there’s
no problem making a visit to
Walt’s a part of my daily schedule. I will not bore you with the
advantages and disadvantages
of bike trips to Wolcott, Lyons,
and Glenwood Foods on Rte.
318, and which destination I
chose for any given day for a
banana run was pretty much
determined by whim alone.
Thanks Walt, for moving your
market to our town.

Huron
The Town of Huron was created from the Town of
Wolcott on February 25, 1826. The town, originally
called Port Bay, consists of a little over 21,800 acres.
Huron lies on Lake Ontario. Extending into the town in
its northwest corner is a part of Great Sodus Bay. East
Bay extends into the town in the north and a part of Port
Bay extends into the town in its northeast corner. The
lakeshore rises to a series of bluffs - the largest of which,
Chimney Bluffs, rose 175 feet above the lake. On March
17, 1834, the town of Port Bay became the Town of Huron in honor of the Huron Indian tribe.
The first settler in the town of Huron, Capt. William
Helms, arrived in 1796 from Virginia. Among the household of Capt. Helms to make the long journey north were
seventy slaves, who were used to clear the land.
Huron was also home to one of the most unique religious
groups in the country. In February 1826, the Shakers,
or United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Coming, purchased a tract of land consisting of 1,331 53/100
acres, the eastern portion of which was located in the
town of Huron. The Shaker Community was an egalitarian society. They were a celibate group, hardworking,
scrupulously honest and as self-sufficient as possible.
The Sodus Shakers were the first to package seeds for
sale and established a successful business and a reputation for quality.
Information from the Wayne County Website
The Shaker Community was not to be long lived in
Wayne County, however. William H. Adams, a Lyons
attorney was an enthusiastic supporter of the Erie Canal and had a dream to build another canal from the
Erie in the town of Galen to Sodus Bay. He reasoned
that a canal to Sodus Bay would develop a port that
would outrival Rochester and Oswego. The route of
the proposed canal was right through the ShakerTract.
Fearing for the safety of their community, the Shakers reluctantly sold the property in Wayne County and
moved to Groveland in Livingston County in 1837.
The population of Huron today is just over 2,100.
Fruit farming and processing are the major industries
of this rural town along Ontario’s shore.

Sodus Highway
Superintendent
Ready to Start School
“I want to be able to give back to the community what my community has given to me,” says DuBois, who is running in the
Republican primary for a slot on November’s ballot.
DuBois says he “began riding wing on a snowplow” for Sodus
as a part time worker on its road crews about 43 years ago. He
was elected Highway Superintendent in 2000, taking his first
full-time job with the town. DuBois says that since that time, the
town has blacktopped more than 7.5 miles of gravel road, added
“quite a few new water lines,” and upgraded its road equipment,
much of which was from the 1970’s when he took office.
“I’ve built up a very good fleet of equipment, along with the
help of the town board,” he says.
He hopes to be able to continue such work in 2012.
“I would like to see the infrastructure in this town a lot better
than it is now,” he says.
DuBois is also part owner and operator of the DuBois Fruit
Farm in Sodus, he says. The 63-year-old is the father of two
grown children.
Gregory Allman
Gregory Allman says Sodus’s roads are in need of major improvements.
“The upkeep of them, I do not believe, has been adequate over
the years,” he says.
The result can be seen and felt, “by the cracks and the bumps
and the missing asphalt, high shoulders and water holesÑwhen
it rains,” he says.
Allman, a newcomer to politics, says the solution to the problem
goes beyond repaving sections of the town’s roads.
“It’s time for a change in the position of the Highway Superintendent,” he says.
Allman refused to criticize his opponent. He did pledge that,
if elected, he would seek feedback from Sodus residents about
“the problems in the town that I could address,” he says. He
would categorize and prioritize the projects his department could
tackle, while keeping Sodus residents apprised of the costs those
his department undertook, he says.
Allman says he has been a paving contractor for 27 years and
owns and heads the local firm Double AA Driveways, where he
supervises as many as five people at a time. He also owns David
Allman Fruit Farms. Allman says he and his son manage the
farm, as well as four others they rent.
Allman is a veteran-he speaks with a touch of pride of his six
years as a heavy equipment operator in the US Navy, which he
left with the rank of petty officer. He also revs up his motorcycle
to join other members of Region 2 of the New York State Patriot
Guard when they are invited to escort the funerals of fallen
soldiers, he says. The 49-year-old is the father of four children,
two of them grown.
developed during the lackadaisical summer days.
“Summertime, everybody’s on
their own little schedule,” Orlowski says. “I try to encourage
the parents, two weeks before
school starts, to try to get back
into a routine.”
That routine must include bedtimes that allow kids to get the
sleep they need.
“I prefer that they get a good 10
hours of sleep,” Orlowski says.
An appreciable number of US
kids don’t get the sleep they
need. Studies by the National
Sleep Foundation, a non-profit
that suppor ts sleep -related
research, have revealed that
27 percent of American kids
spend less time than they need
in healthy, regenerative sleep.
Evidence is piling up that the
condition contributes to poor
academic performance.
“They just can’t concentrate
as well in school in the morning if they’re not getting a good
amount of sleep,” Orlowski
explained.
The foundation reports that
lack of daily, effective rest can
contribute to irritability, anxiety, and depression, and other
conditions. It also compromises
the body’s immune system,
and might indirectly lead to
obesity.
Many factors can keep kids
from getting the sleep they
need, Orlowski says, starting
with the busy schedules today’s
kids often follow. School-age
children, particularly as they
grow older, tend to spend more
and more of their after-school
time on sports, homework, or
other activities, pushing their
bedtimes farther and farther
back. Moreover, some of those
after-school activities might
impede a child’s ability to sleep
after he or she has hit the pillow. Researchers are studying
whether the use of video games,
computers, or cell phones before
bedtime might decrease the
user’s ability to sleep soundly.
If you’re not sure whether your
kids are getting the sleep they
need, you might talk to them
about it, and to their teachers-a
teacher can spot a child’s drooping eyes and difficulty attending
to lessons.
OK, now that your kids are up,
washed, and dressed, what’s
next? For most kids, that should
be breakfast. According to the
American Dietetic Association,
breakfast is extremely important
for children and teens, providing an early-morning boost that
can prepare students for learning. A joint Harvard University/
Massachusetts General Hospital
study found that children who
regularly ate breakfast scored
higher on standardized tests,
exhibited better classroom behavior, and were more focused
than those who skipped the
meal. Children who star ted
their days with breakfast have
averaged a whole letter grade
higher in math than those
who didn’t get that important
early-morning source of energy.
Those who started their days
with breakfast were also found
to consume healthier diets and
lower amounts of saturated fats
and other unhealthy substances, and to have lower body mass
indexes-an important indicator
of the future risk of obesity.
Unfor tunately, not all kids
head off to school with something good in their stomachs.
A variet y of conditions can
conspire to send children out
without an early-morning meal,
from poverty to the difficulty
of getting a child or adolescent
out of bed.
“They’re just having enough
time to get themselves dressed
and out the door to catch the
bus,” Orlowski says.
Parental habits can add to the
problem, Orlowski says. In essence, if you don’t see any value
in breakfast, your kids probably
won’t, as well. If you are in
doubt as to whether your child
functions well without breakfast, ask his or her teachers
how well they do in class, particularly before lunch. Orlowski
says that kids who have trouble
paying attention, concentrating,
or grasping concepts in class
or are disruptive might be suffering from the lack of a good
breakfast.
OK, let’s say you want to send
your kids out the door with the
nourishment they need to do
well in school. How can you
do that in the midst of hectic
school mornings? To begin
with, breakfast doesn’t need to
be a complicated meal. Parents
and their kids can choose from
a variety of foods for an earlymorning repast, though professionals agree that the meal
should include foods rich in
whole grains, fiber, and protein,
and be low in sugar.
“A bowl of cereal with some
fresh fruit, I think, is an excellent breakfast,” Orlowski says.
Breakfast advocates suggest
that parents prepare as many
of the ingredients as possible
the night before, and draw their
kids into planning menus, so as
to help them accept the meal
and its importance.
Some parents might be able to
meet their kid’s needs for earlymorning meals while avoiding
the hassle of providing them at
home. Hannibal Central School
District Food Service Manager
Debbie Richardson says she and
her staff provide low-cost or free
breakfasts to about 365 students
each day classes are in session
under the School Breakfast Program, a national meal program
funded by the US government
and the state.
Any of Hannibal’s students
can sit down to breakfast at the
beginning of the school day,
Richardson says. The balanced
meals include combinations of
breads, fruits or fruit juices,
and proteins, and exclude highsugar foods. There is even
something Richardson calls a
“Hannimuffin.”
“It’s an egg and a cheese on a
whole-wheat English muffin,”
she says.
Students whose families meet
Federal income guidelines can
qualif y for free break fasts,
Richardson says.
Now that your kids are fueled and ready for class, you
might help them on with their
backpacks. Upon hefting those
packs, some parents might be
tempted to ask, “What the heck
have you got in there-bricks?”
Studies have shown that students of all ages can shoulder
as much as 20 percent of their
own weight as they head off to
school.
“The high school kids often
have heavier packs, with books
and such,” Orlowski says.
If you weigh in at 150 pounds,
think about hefting a 30-pound
bag filled with a laptop, textbooks, pens, gym clothes and
other items onto a bus, into
school, and up the stairs to
class.
Several websites that cater to
parents have suggested that
backpacks that are overloaded
or improperly used might contribute to shoulder and lower
back pain or injuries in children
and teenagers. While a search
of the literature revealed a
mixed view of the risks overloaded backpacks might present, parents might be well to
pay attention to how much their
children carr y around with
them, and how they do it. The
American Academy of Orthopedics suggests that parents make
sure their kids use backpacks
that, unlike shoulder bags, can
distribute loads evenly to both
shoulders. Even students who
are using backpack s should
avoid overloading them, and
distribute their loads as evenly
as possible.
“I actually recommend that
they take some of the books out
and they actually carry some up
front, and the rest of them in the
backpack,” Orlowski says.
If they can, students should
carr y their books and other
materials in wheeled bags, Orlowski says, thereby avoiding
the risk of carrying overloaded
bags throughout the day.
Now that your child is out
the door, it is time to breathe
a sigh of relief and head off
to work. Then it hits you: the
school doesn’t have your work
number! School officials advise
parents to make sure their children’s schools have up-to-date
emergency contact information and lists of their health
problems, physical limitations,
allergies and medications.

Gillibrand
A
group of Wayne County farmers gave Sen.
K irsten Gillibrand a
message last week in Wolcott:
the federal government needs to
give them consistent access to
the foreign workers who labor
on their farms.
“If we don’t soon get a fix for
agricultural labor and our seasonal employees, nothing else is
going to matter,” said Phil Wagner, owner of Wagner’s Apple
Ridge Orchard, who hosted
the gathering for the New York
Apple Association.
Gillibrand, the first US senator
to sit on the Senate Agriculture
Committee in 40 years, visited
Wolcott while on an all-day
“listening tour” that took her
across upstate New York. A
press release said she planned
to focus on federal policies and
programs that could create rural
jobs, but the 30-or-so people
who gathered at Wagner’s farm,
many of them fruit or dair y
farm owners, had other ideas.
According to f igures from
Cornell Universit y ’s Cornell
Farmworker Program, New York
employs as many as 80,000 migrant, seasonal and year-round
agricultural workers, many of
them from Mexico and Central
America. Mary Jo Dudley, the
director of the program, said
migrants make up the majority
of the estimated 4,000 people
who work in agriculture in
Wayne County at the height of
the fruit picking season. Up to
an estimated 1,000 agricultural
workers could labor on Cayuga
County’s farms at the season’s
peak , Dudley says, many of
them migrants.
Wagner and the other farmers
who spoke up at last week’s
meeting said they ’ve been
unable to find local workers
to harvest their crops even in
this time of high employment.
He said that without the five
migrant workers who are currently working on his farm, he
couldn’t get his apple crop in.

Sodus Bay
“My crop would fall to the
ground, and I would probably
file bankruptcy next summer,”
he said.
Some farms employ as many
as 60 migrant laborers during
the har vest season, Wagner
said. Though he and the other
farmers who spoke to the Lakeshore News said those they’ve
hired are legally able to work
in the US, they were concerned
that the US government might
restrict their access to those
workers. Nancy Wolf, whose
family owns a local dairy farm,
said the farm installed robotic
milking machines out of fear
that the labor needed to milk
its cows might disappear.
“We need to focus on getting
people here, and them being
able to work,” Wolf said.
Many at the meeting called for
changes in the laws and regulations regarding migrant labor,
and some pushed Gillibrand to
work for passage of the Agricultural Job Opportunities, Benefits
and Securities Act, also known
as the “AgJOBS” bill. Gillibrand
and five other Democratic senators, Robert Menendez of New
Jersey, Patrick Leahy of Vermont, Dick Durbin of Illinois
and Chuck Schumer of New
York introduced the bill as part
of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2011.
The AgJOBS bill would create a program whereby many
undocumented farm workers
and agricultural guestworkers
could gain temporary immigration status based on their
past work experience. Workers who continued performing
agricultural work would then
have the chance of gaining
permanent resident status. The
AgJOBS bill would also revise
the existing “H-2A” agricultural
guestworker program, giving
such workers more protections
from employer exploitation. The
revisions could render work in
the US more attractive to such
workers.
Variations of the AgJOBS bill
have been introduced in Con-
gress over the last 10 years or
so, but died before they saw the
light of passage. The Comprehensive Immigration Reform
Act is currently in committee.
Gillibrand said comprehensive
immigration reform probably
will not make it through Congress this year.
“It’s pure politics,” she said.
“I cannot find one Republican
senator who would do immigration reform.”
Gillibrand pledged to push for
immigration reforms that could
address farmers’ labor needs,
and called upon those present
to join in the fight for the kinds
of legislative changes that could
alleviate their labor problems.
“ What we have to do, as a
communit y, is work harder
on having our views be heard
stronger and more directly and
more aggressively,” she said.
State Assemblyman Bob Oaks,
R-Macedon, joined Gillibrand at
last week’s meeting. As it ended, Oaks said everyone there
would be “greatly appreciative”
for any efforts she undertook
“on behalf of immigration and
the availability of labor.”
Some in Wolcott warned that
without such efforts, farmers
could turn away from fruit
growing in the future and begin
growing grains, which are less
labor-intensive.
“It would be an awful shame to
see this (land) go into corn and
soybeans,” says John Sorbello,
president of the Wayne County
Farm Bureau.
That change would prove difficult for those who work the
fields, as well. Jose Luis Garcia
has come to Wagner’s farm from
his home in Oaxaca, Mexico
each harvesting season for the
last three years. Garcia does not
speak English, but Lakeshore
News was able to inter view
him through an interpreter.
When asked what has brought
him all those miles year after
year, he answered that work in
the US allowed him to give his
wife and two children “a better
life.” Then he turned, and began
picking apples again.
Wave of Migrant
Labor Can Raise
Local Bottom Lines
Robin Delf, co-owner Bob’s Big M in Wolcott, says migrant
workers can boost her grocery store’s business as much as 15
percent on some nights during the harvest season.
Advocates for migrant workers say the laborers produce
more than the fruits and vegetables they nurture and pick
on farms in and around Wayne County.
“They have a big impact on the local economy,” says Jim
Schmidt, director of Farmworker Legal Services, a statewide
non-profit that provides legal assistance to migrant and seasonal farm workers.
Local merchants might see that impact in rising bottom
lines. Robin Delf, co-owner of Bob’s Big M in Wolcott, says
that on some nights during the peak harvesting season as
many as 200 migrant workers can join the regular customers
heading into the market.
“They come in on Fridays,” she says.
The worker’s purchases of food and other supplies can
raise the market’s take for the day by as much as 15 percent,
says Delf, who puts on two extra cashiers on Fridays to deal
with the additional customers. In Wayne County, the peak
harvesting season ranges from mid-August through the end
of October
While local merchants might say migrant workers can
boost their bottom lines, real figures regarding the economic
impact of such workers on New York’s communities are not
available, in part due to the difficulty of counting those who
generally work and live out of the public eye. Mary Jo Dudley, director of the Cornell Farmworker Program of Cornell
University, estimates that most of the 4,000 agricultural
laborers who work in Wayne County during the peak season
are migrants. Schmidt, who has worked on migrant labor issues for about 30 years, estimates that Wayne County farms
employ about 6,000 migrant laborers during the season. He
estimates that during that period the number of migrant
workers comes to no more than 2,000 and 1,000 respectively
in Oswego and Cayuga County. Those workers spend as 50
percent of their incomes on food, rent, and other goods or
services in the com munities in which they work, Schmidt
estimates.
Some of that money comes to parts of Oswego County. Susan Hurlbut, co-owner of the Hannibal Quick Mart, says the
influx of migrant laborers during harvest season increases
traffic into her store.
“They usually cash their checks at the bank, and a lot of
them come over here,” she says. “When the migrant workers
leave in the fall, we know it.”
Unfortunately the wave of workers doesn’t float all boats.
Down the road, Kim Fitzer, owner of Kim’s Village Café in
Hannibal, says the seasonal influx of migrant labor doesn’t
affect the traffic into her business.
“I don’t get any of them in here,” Fitzer says.

S
everal days ago, I had an
interesting discussion
with a colleague. We talked over a number of concerns
about “church” and programs
designed to make church more
effective. At one point, he said
he had read an item somewhere
about shrinking one’s spirituality. My immediate response
was, “Aren’t we supposed to be
fostering spirituality? Are you
saying we are to shrink it?”
My friend answered, “Look it
up; it will change your mind.”
When I had the chance, I did
just that and found it to be intriguing. The author’s name is
Johnson. Beyond that I have no
information. Here’s his thesis:
spirituality isn’t all it’s cracked
up to be. After reading the article a couple of times, I drew
the conclusion that I had a lot
to think about.
The author contends that the
Christian life isn’t about growth
for the sake of growth. If there’s
a truth anywhere about religion
in general and Christianity in
particular, it brings our focus
on God and not on some doit-yourself efforts that leave us
feeling better about ourselves.
We can actually structure a
lifestyle that gives us the appearance of divinely appointed
knights in shining armor. Having come to that conclusion,
Johnson would probably say
that we’re catching the drift of
his writing. What he’s telling us
is that when all that we have are
rituals and self-discipline, we’re
moving in the wrong direction.
We’re perpetuating the myth
that we’ve got to be “good” in
order to make it in the eyes of
God.
One more statement that Johnson makes stirred the soup
a little faster: The Bible isn’t
about you; it’s for you. No matter how much we’d like, the
message of the Bible isn’t about
us. It’s all about God. In fact,
the Bible says that we lost out
in the race for recognition back
in the Garden of Eden. Human
beings have fallen flat on their
faces since, and the notion is
that we’ve all sinned and fall
short of the glory of God.
Don’t get me wrong, now.
I’m not saying that we should,
therefore, have at it and live it
up without regard to any notions of morality. Not at all. The
Bible is about God’s work, not
ours. God comes to us, claims
us and makes us His own. From
that point on, we live faithful
lives, not because we must but
because we grab hold of God’s
grace and move into areas of
ser vice and goodness. That
means that the ten commandments become guidelines and
not statements of obligation. In
my Christian understanding,
we respond to the overwhelming love that God showed us in
Jesus Christ and then live fruitful lives. Did you ever hear what
the Apostle James wrote? Here
it is: “Faith without works is
dead.” Faith comes first; good
deeds are the outcome and
proof.
Think about it. Are you trying
to cut the mustard with God?
Give it up; let Him take care of
it. He began life, and He knows
what He wants done with it.

Sodus Bay to Benefit from $399,658
Three Year Study Grant
Hotchkiss Building Busy
Contributed by Ed Leroux, President, SOS
SODUS - SOS (Save Our Sodus)
is pleased to announce the Great
Lakes Research Consor tium
at SUNY-ESF, lead by Dr. Greg
Boyer has successfully received
a three year grant to examine a
chemical treatment to hazardous blue green algae blooms
with hydrogen peroxide on
Sodus Bay.
The grant, titled “Direct Mitigation of a Harmful Algal Bloom
in Sodus Bay, Lake Ontario” is
funded by the EPA Great Lakes
National Program Office, GLNPO.
Algae blooms became abundant on Sodus Bay in 2010 shortening the area’s busy tourism
season. Many families make
Sodus Bay their annual summer destination. The economic
impacts of the bloom on the region was unparalleled and was
estimated to be in the millions
of dollars.
The treatment being studied,
liquid hydrogen peroxide, has
been successfully employed
in the Netherlands where it
was applied in the control of
c yanobacteria at swimming
beaches. In addition Ohio EPA
used a similar approach in April
2011 to control toxic cyanobacteria at the state parks in Grand
Lake - St Mary’s.
The first phase (“mapping”) is
already underway and started
this August. It will identif y
potential “hotspots” for bloom
formation. Phase 2 starts next
summer and will apply the
treatment in small areas. This
will enable a determination of
the minimal level of peroxide
needed to remove the cyanobacterial when a larger area of the
bay is treated. There will probably be some large plastic enclosures on the Bay where limited
treatment will be applied with
the option of full scale treatment in two years.
NY DEC will also be involved
in the permitting process and
will assist with detailed monitoring of the effects and safety
of this material on plankton,
zooplankton and fish populations.
Public involvement played
a key role in obtaining this
grant. The study project has
broad support throughout the
business community, elected
of ficials, and the Sodus Bay
residents have stepped forward,
not necessarily to offer money,
but to offer their labor, housing, and facilities to help this
project succeed. Save Our Sodus
(SOS) has been mobilizing the
communit y through public
education seminars, its website,
and weekly blue green algae
e-news blast. In addition the
Sodus Bay Business Association
(SBBA) has taken the lead role
in gathering support from the
business sector.
The project itself will directly
support the hiring of one part
time (33%) research scientist
position, one new full time
graduate student, and support
the hiring of two summer internships. These internships
will be recruited from the local communities surrounding
Sodus Bay and will provide
needed employment opportunities for village and local college
students.
Although it is important to
note that this effort is only a
short term approach that is part
of a larger plan to address both
the cyanobacteria problem as
well as weed growth through
changes in the nutrient loads,
watershed management and
invasive species control. The
outputs from this current project will be incorporated into the
larger long term goal.
More details of the study will
be posted on the Save Our
Sodus website in the next few
weeks.

Be Prepared for
Weather-Related Events
With recent weather events, the Cayuga County Health Department would like to take this time to remind individuals to be
prepared. Here are some tips to ensure that you and your family
are prepared when weather strikes.
Have these items in your residence ready to use in the event of
an emergency:
Flashlights with extra batteries. Keep flashlights with extra,
fresh batteries and keep them beside your bed and in several other
locations. Do not use matches.
Portable radio with extra batteries. Most telephones will be out of
order or limited to emergency
use. The radio, including
NOAA Weather Radio, will be
the best source of emergency
information.
First aid kit / f irst aid
skills. Keep your first-aid kit
well stocked and in a central
location. Take basic first-aid
and CPR courses. Keep your
skills current.
Fire extinguisher. Your fire
extinguisher should be suitable for all types of fires and
should be easily accessible.
Teach all family members
how to use it.
Food. Store a three-day supply of food for each person. Items such
as canned or dehydrated food, powdered milk and canned juices
can be rotated into your daily diet and replenished on a regular
basis. Include food for infants or the elderly, snack foods and items
such as a non-electric can opener, cooking utensils, paper/plastic
plates and plastic utensils.

by 6 a.m. Monday morning. All
agencies will be briefed on their
mission and be on the road by
noon in phase 1 and 3 p.m. in
phase 2.
Additional fire departments
may be requested in future days
to come.
If the power goes out. Keep the refrigerator and freezer doors
closed; every time you open it, needed cold air escapes causing
an increase in food temperature. Refrigerated items should be safe
as long as the power is out no more than about 4 to 6 hours. If
the power is out longer than that, discard potentially hazardous
foods such as eggs, milk, meats, poultry, seafood, cooked leftovers,
gravies, soups or products containing these ingredients if their
temperature exceeds 50 degrees Fahrenheit. A full freezer should
keep food safe about 2 days; a half-full freezer should keep food
safe about 1 day. Add bags of ice to the freezer if it appears the
power will be off for an extended time.
Water. Store a 3-day supply of water (one gallon per person per
day). Store in air-tight containers and replace them every six
months. Keep a disinfectant, such as iodine tablets or chlorine
bleach, to purify water, if necessary. If your well is surrounded
by standing water, it is probably contaminated. Do not drink the
water from a well that is submerged without boiling it first (the
water should be brought to a rolling boil, boiled for one minute,
and cooled before using) or use bottled water certified for sale
by the New York State Department of Health. Once the flooding
subsides, wells that have been submerged should be disinfected
prior to use.
Extra blankets and clothing may be required to keep warm.
Sturdy shoes protect feet from broken glass and debris.
Alternate cooking source. Store barbecue, charcoal, starter
and matches in case utilities are out of service. Do not use these
methods of cooking within a confined area.
Special items for infant, elderly, or disabled family members.
Have at least a one week supply of medications and foods for
infants and those on special diets.
Tools. Have a crescent or pipe wrench to turn off gas and water
if necessary and know the location of the shut-off valves.
Important documents should be stored in a waterproof container.
Examples: insurance policies, medical records, bank account
numbers, Social Security card, etc. Also, checkbook, cash, credit
cards, and ATM cards.

FAIR HAVEN
Hello,
Neighbors!

W
e l l w h at a c r a z y
week we have had.
A tornado, ear thquake, and a hurricane all
within a week. Luckily enough
there was little damage from
any of them. I guess the tornado
did the most damage, with the
hurricane causing a lot of tree
damage from all the wind and
believe it or not, we didn’t even
lose power. The quake was very
minor, heard of no damage
caused and most folks I talked
to didn’t even feel it, myself
included. Sure has been strange
weather all year.
A few of the firemen (Greg
Webster, Jeff Fisher and Kevin
Lozier) volunteered to go help
FEMA with some of the places
that got so much damage from
the Hurricane Irene. Not sure
how long they will be gone but
am so proud of them. We have a
great bunch of guys that volunteer for the fire department and
I sure do appreciate all they do.
A big Thank You to their bosses
for letting them take the time
to go. Even though not all the
firemen could go, the rest were
kept quite busy all day Sunday,
with trees down, boats breaking loose, trees on wires and
burning and a few ambulance
calls too.
The fire department would like
to thank everyone attending the
spaghetti dinner, your support
is greatly appreciated.
I did not get to go to the Arts
in the Park on Saturday as I
threw my back out and could
hardly move, however, by the
look of all the cars on the street
and the folks walking around
the park I think they all fared
well. I was looking forward to
going but just couldn’t do it. It
always amazes me how many
“very talented” folks we have
here in this area. They all do
such a nice job.
Well, summer is about to unwind, and fall is at our doorstep.
This coming Saturday is the last
band concert, the State Fair will
come to end on Labor day, and
school starts on Wednesday the
7th. Need I say more?
Birthdays
Celebrating bir thdays this
week are Randy Lawrence, Amy

Car Show
The Wolcott Lions Club held their annual car show on Saturday,
August 20 on Main Street in Wolcott. The Harry Payne Memorial
Award, awarded to John Doyle, is in memory of Harold “Harry”
Payne, a longtime Industrial Arts teacher at the Wolcott school.
He lived with his wife Margaret in the first house north of the
Hendrick Elementary School driveway entrance. For several years
he had a sideline of repairing and selling power lawnmowers from
his garage there. Harry acquired and renovated an “antique” Ford
car and his enthusiasm for expanding general interest in such
historically significant vehicles contributed to the Wolcott Lions’
decision to conduct car shows.
Following Harry’s retirement from teaching, he worked as a
machinist at Parker Hannifin in Clyde, where aircraft jet engines
and parts were a project.
The “Harold Payne award” in today’s car shows is given in
memory of Lion Harry’s long-time devotion to Lionism, and his
service to the club and his community.

Wayne County
Scanner Update
SODUS - Sun R a d in
Sodus is offering a free
list of new frequencies
for monitoring fire, police and medical services. If you have a scanner
you probably realize that
you are not hearing much over the old low band fire frequencies
46.440 and 46.220. This is because their use has been phased out.
The county has now changed to the new high band frequencies
for fire, police and EMS. If you own an old style programmable
scanner that cannot be adjusted to the proper frequencies you
now find yourself unable to monitor current events as you have
in the past. You may have to purchase a new style programmable
scanner to enable you to hear these broadcasts.
First, however, you should obtain the new frequency list to see
of your scanner can be tuned to receive them. New channel frequency lists are available at SunRad, the are Uniden Bearcat dealer
located at 8 East Main Street in Sodus. They invite you to stop
in for a free list of these new frequencies. The recently released,
large updated SunRad Scanner List of the local, county and state
frequencies also includes these new frequencies.

Wayuga Staff Writers
Hurricane Irene rolled into our
area on Sunday bringing rain
and high winds most of the day.
The high winds caused trees to
be ripped from the ground and
created quite a mess for residents who had debris littering
their yards.
Hurricane Irene was responsible for leaving about 945,000
New Yorkers without power
Monday morning, with a bulk
of the outages occurring in the
Catskill and Albany regions.
National grid reported a statewide total of 124,931 outages
statewide.
However, in Wayne and Cayuga Counties, the loss of power
was less widespread than other
parts in the state. National Grid
reports that in Oswego County,
there were 1,854 customers
served for power outages in the
Town and Village of Hannibal.
In Cayuga Count y, National
Grid only mentioned outages in
Niles and Sennett. The National
Grid, NYSEG, and RG&E did
not list any outages or calls in
Wayne County, which means
that Wayne Count y dodged
widespread outages that affected the rest of the state. As
of press time, RG&E did not
respond to an inquiry about
the Wayne County outages.
The outages that were reported
in Hannibal were already completely resolved by Tuesday
morning.

Trailer Fire in Red Creek
From The Cayuga County Traffic Safety Committee
CAYUGA COU N TY - Eve r y
school year more than 2.3 million children wait at bus stops
in anticipation for the first day
of school.
Because school bus safety is
such a team effort, it is critical
to review the topic of safe bus
stops, the law that governs them
and the procedures that keep
kids safe.
The basic facts of school bus
safety identify bus stops as a
topic that must be constantly
revisited. In New York State,
80 percent of all school bus
fatalities happen to students
getting on and of f the bus.
We know that, these fatalities
overwhelmingly occur to the
youngest students (75 percent
in grades K-3), in the af ternoon (79 percent), and they
are struck by a school bus (68
percent) or passing motorist (32
percent).
Most of the children who lose
their lives in bus related crashes
are pedestrians, four to seven
years old, who are hit by the bus
or passing motorists, illegally
passing a stopped school bus.
Therefore, loading and unloading is the most critical part of
any bus route. Well-trained
drivers and bus attendants can
be vigilant at bus stop to protect
the children, however parental
and community safety involvement is vital.
Please review the important
life-saving safety information
listed below:
Never pass a school bus with
its red student lights flashing.
School buses use yellow flashing lights to alert motorists that
they are preparing to stop to
load or unload children. Red
student flashing lights and an
extended stop sign arm, signal
to motorists that the bus is
stopped and children are getting on or off the bus.
In New York State it is mandatory that traffic stop in both
directions and on divided roadways when students are entering or exiting a school bus.
Be alert, children are unpredictable.
Children need to be educated
on the dangers in and around
a school bus. T he “ Danger
Zones” is the area around the
bus where the driver might not
see a child. Teach your children
never to get too close to their
school bus; the mantra is “If
you can touch the bus you are
too close!
Teach your child never to
chase a school bus. To always
follow the school bus driver’s
instruc tion and never cross
the road without the direction
of their driver. When dropped
off, remind your child to walk
safely away from the bus and
(once again) if they cross, cross
only under the direction of their
driver.
Teach your child never to return to their school bus for any
reason, remind them that their
driver might not see them and
they could be injured.
B a ck p a ck s b e l o n g o n th e
child’s back, a bus rider should
never be dragging a backpack,
loose clothing or any item that
could get caught or snagged
when boarding or departing
the bus.
Children need to be at least
five minutes early to their bus
stop and instructed to wait for
the bus in an orderly fashion.
Remind the kids never to push
or shove each other while waiting for the bus to arrive. They
also need to be reminded to
stay away from the roadway
and to stand back as their bus
approaches. Young siblings
waiting with older brothers
or sisters at the bus stop need
adult supervision.
With your help and coop eration, New York State will
remain the number one state
in the nation when it comes
to school bus safety and keeping our children out of harm’s
way.
Remember, it’s all about the
kids!

American Revolution
CLYDE - Thelma M. Pangburn,
age 85, of W. Dezeng St. died
Wednesday, August 24, 2011 at
Newark Wayne Hospital after a
brave battle with a brief illness.
Thelma was born in Jamesville, N.Y. August 24, 1926,
the daughter of Harold and
Genevieve (Kopp) Downing.
She was proud that her Downing ancestors had been traced
back to England even prior to
the settling of the American
colonies. One of those ancestors had come to Massachusetts
and fought for freedom in the
revolution and with that heritage Thelma had been an active
member of the Daughter’s of the
American Revolution. Thelma
went to Cortland State College
to fulfill a childhood dream of
becoming a teacher.
With degree in hand, she traveled the country for a month
with a beloved aunt and uncle
before starting a career in the
Clyde-Savannah School District.
She later met and married Norman Pangburn and settled in
Clyde joining many other members of the Pangburn family on
what was known at the time as
“Pangburn Hill”. Thelma and
Norman welcomed two sons
Kyle and Kevin. Thelma continued teaching 2nd grade for most
of her 30 year career, retiring in
1984 to take care of her ailing
husband Norman.
T h e lma enjoye d tr ave ling
when she could and had a delightful sense of humor right
up to the very end. She was
warm, friendly, fun loving,
O B ITUA R IES
determined, charitable and generous with unconditional love
for her sons. She is survived by
her sons Kyle (Rose) of Clyde
and Kevin (Sandy) of Latham
N.Y., two adoring grandchildren
Liana and Paul of Latham, a
sister Virginia Hurley of Texas,
a brother-in-law Don Dumont of
Florida, many nieces and nephews in Clyde, Florida and Texas,
and a wide extended family who
also loved her including Cindy
Pangburn of Lyons, Thelma’s
former daughter-in-law who
became like a daughter to her.
Thelma is predeceased by her
parents, husband Norman, and
sister Freida Dumont.
A private graveside service
will be held at the convenience
of the family in Lafayette, N.Y.
Those wishing to remember
Thelma are invited to make a
donation to a fund to be established in her name to provide
a scholarship to a graduating
Clyde-Savannah High School
student to help them fulfill
their dreams of going to college to become an elementary
school teacher as Thelma did.

Self-Therapy for the
Stutterer Available at
Local Library
S
elf-Therapy for the Stutterer is the classic self-help guide by
the founder of The Stuttering Foundation, Malcolm Fraser. It
is written to and for the many adults and teens who stutter.
The 192-page book is available at most public libraries including
the Clyde-Savannah Public Library in Clyde, the Macedon Public
Library in Macedon, the Newark Public Library in Newark, the
Ontario Public Library in Ontario, the Red Creek Free Library in
Red Creek, the Sodus Free Library in Sodus, the Walworth-Seely
Public Library in Walworth, and the Williamson Free Public Library in Williamson. If you stutter, you do not need to surrender
helplessly to your speech difficulty because you can change the
way you talk. You can learn to communicate with ease rather than
with effort. There is no quick and easy way to tackle the problem,
but with the right approach, self-therapy can be effective.
This book outlines a self-therapy program which describes what
the person who stutters can do to work towards better communication. It is often used as a supplement to speech therapy. A timely
feature on page 164 is information about King George VI and how
inspirational his speeches were during WWII as depicted in the
new movie, The King’s Speech.
Writes Charles Van Riper, Ph.D., about this book: “There are
always some who stutter who are unable to get professional help
and others who do not seem to be able to profit from it. There are
some who prefer to be their own therapist. In this book, Malcolm
Fraser has provided guidance for those who must help themselves.
Knowing well from his own experience as a stutterer the difficulties of self-therapy, he outlines a series of objectives and challenges
that should serve as a map for the person who is lost in the dismal
swamp of stuttering and wants to find a way out.”
The book is available free to all public libraries. If your library
doesn’t have it, ask them to contact the Stuttering Foundation
toll-free at 800-992-9392 for a copy.

STERLING
Tales of
Sterling
Don Richardson
Sterling Historical Society
Ontario Park
By Various Contributors
Another early “cottage colony”
contemporary with the Imperial
Club formed at Pearson’s Point
on the east side of the bay a
short walk north of Fair Haven
Village. About two dozen simple cottages were built around
Ontario Amusement Park in the
gay 1890s. The park, (privately
owned) occupied about forty
acres and flourished between
1890 and 1921. It included a
number of common areas for
vacationers to use including
picnic area, dance pavilion,
baseball f ield, tennis cour t,
merry go round, and a large
building out on the point, the
“Ontario Hotel.” An old ad
for the grounds listed among
its attractions “a good well of
pure water for drinking, running water in each cottage for
cooking or drinking... and the
use of one row boat with each
cottage. Prices ranged from
$5 to $15 dollars a week. The
ad went on to say, “There are
passenger boats that make the
rounds of the Bay several times
each day and meet all trains at
North Fair Haven dock. Also
the large lake steamers (eg. The
Arundell) stop here each day on
the run between Rochester and
the 1000 Islands. A trip can be
made to the Islands and return
the next day.
A fine example of an early
Ontario Park cot tage is Ha
H a . Lo n g tim e ow n e r s M r.
And Mrs. Rizzoli believe the
name was inspired by William
Wadsworth Longfellow’s classic poem “Hiawatha” based
on an Indian legend. From the
waterfall he named her, Minnehaha, Laughing Water.” The
cottage was built in 1892 and
is much as built originally,
though it was moved to its current location across the street
from the bay and the kitchen
added. To this time it retains its
simple furnishings, under bed
chamber pots and wrap around
porch. Other nearby summer
homes also bear names like
the Maples, the May View, and
The Plaza. Naming one’s summer camp or cottage seems to
have been standard operating
procedure in those times before
911 made everybody get a street
number and when taxes were
lower and resort homes were
“rustic” and lacked indoor toilets and insulation.
Leora Scot Van Patten recalled
that when Ontario Amusement
Park was operating, picnics
were serious excursions for
some families. In 2005, as she
neared one hundred years of
age, she remembered “It was a
great day for the family when
time was taken for a picnic. It
was the one occasion perhaps
throughout the entire summer
when the whole family felt free
to go on a lark. It was discussed
for weeks ahead and everyone
worked for the anticipated enjoyment of a day at Fair Haven.
The youngsters hoarded their
money for weeks; money they
earned picking berries, running
errands etc. When the big day
came, they would have plenty
of cash to buy the molasses
taffy that was sold on the picnic
grounds or a bag of popcorn or
peanuts at the market on the
Point.
Transportation to the Point
was a big item. Horses drawing
two seated carriages, dog carts,
lumber wagons, top buggies,
and other vehicles, some with
big umbrellas to shade from the
scorching rays of the sun, were
all in the procession that led to
the picnic grounds. Dust covered children scrambled from
the wagons and made a grand
dash for the water’s edge, and
ten chances to one most had
both feet wet before the picnic
baskets had been lifted from
the wagons. The horses were
made comfortable at the top
of the hill after they had been
unhitched. There were hitching bars available, some with
poles between to make a stall
while other horses were tied
to neighboring trees of which
there were many.
The men spent the day swapping yarns, trading horses,
pitching quoits, and filling their
stomachs from the huge lunch
baskets filled with goodies from
the family pantr y. Mothers
swapped recipes, exchanged
the latest ideas in knitting, and
worried over the children in
general, and when the day had
finished they gathered the family together for the homeward
trip. It was a quiet trip, each
busy with his own thoughts as
the wagon wheels made tracks
in the dirt and the clop of the
horses’ feet made music to keep
time with the thoughts of the
travelers.”

Civil War Newspapers
By Robert Stewart
There were three principal
newspapers published during
the Civil War as to what was
happening on the battlefields.
They were Harper’s Weekly,
New York Illustrated, and Frank
Leslie’s Illustrated.
The Harper’s Weekly was the
most widely circulated. In 1817,
brothers, James and John Harper established a small printing
firm in New York City. Later,
brothers, Joseph and Fletcher
Harper joined the firm and by
1825 Harper & Brothers was the
largest book publisher in the
United States. Fletcher Harper
became aware of a newspaper that was being printed in
England and in 1850 the firm
launched Harper’s Monthly. It
was a successful venture and in
HISTO R Y
This year marks the 150th Anniversary of
the beginning of the War Between the States
or more often called Civil War. I have started
research on the Civil War soldiers of our area.
I would like to share them with the public
in hopes that if you have any information
about any of your Civil War ancestors, that
you would share them with us. I’d be willing
to help you with the research of such ancestor.
The Civil War lasted for four years and my
hopes are to keep researching for information on those that served in the Civil War.
Thank you.
1857 began to publish Harper’s
Weekly. By 1860 the circulation reached 200,000. In 1862
Thomas Nast joined the staff as
a cartoonist. Nast was the one
who initiated using animals for
the political parties. A donkey
for the Democrats and an elephant for the Republicans. He
helped to develop the character
of Uncle Sam who represented
the United States.
Harper’s Weekly took a moderate stance on the issue of slavery. The main reason for this
stance was that the editor didn’t
want to upset the large number
of southern readers. The paper
supported Stephen Douglas in
the 1860 presidential election.
After the outbreak of the Civil
War it loyally supported Abraham Lincoln and the Union.
The pictures published in the
Harper’s Weekly were roughly
sketched of war scenes and sent
to New York where the pictures
would be engraved on wood to
19
be printed (wood cuts). The
printing was done on a newspaper made of rags. I have many
in my collection and most show
very little signs of wear. The
papers that the soldiers received
were uncut to allow them to be
dispersed better without falling
apart. The price of the papers
started out as costing 5 cents,
and gradually going up in price.
The one pictured is 6 cents or
$2.50 per year in advance. Today these papers are collectors
items and are sold for as much
as $185.00 each.
The Harper’s Weekly show the
picture of Hon. Edwin Stanton,
Secretary of War, in addition
to writing a small article about
his life. The article says “...great
administrative skill and executive firmness.”
The paper had advertising,
poems, stories of battles won
or lost, plus maps of where the
battles were fought, pictures
of both Union and Confederate Officers, troops, pictures
of ships and articles on naval
happenings.
The Harper’s Weekly was published from 1857-1916.

The Benefits of School
Organizations
Studying Tips
Rich Duncan | Lakeshore News
O
ne of the most underrepresented keys
to success in school is joining a school
organization. Now I know most students
probably think the last thing they want to do
is join an organization when they are already
being bogged down by hours of class work and
readings each day. However, joining some sort
of organization is a key part of college success. Here are ways joining an organization
will help you.
• Meet new people. Joining an extracurriculur
club is a simple way to quickly meet people
with similar tastes and interests.
• Build new skills. Joining a campus club
or organization is also a really good way to
start building new life and career skills that

Tips From a Recent Grad
I
recently graduated from SUNY Oswego
and this is the first year that I will not
be heading back to school at the end of
summer. Hopefully these suggestions will
help get you off to a good start in the new
school year.
• Limit what you pack – When I was getting
ready for my first year of college, I packed
everything I could think of — all of my
clothes, a fan, a TV — you name it, I brought
it with me. However, I found that a lot of the stuff that I brought to college stayed in the
boxes that I brought with me for the entire year. Bring only the absolute essentials — which
is typically a LOT less than you might think — and you will have more space in your room
an easier pack-up at the end of the year. Coordinate ahead of time with your roommate on
bigger items like TVs and other appliances.
• Pre-purchase your textbooks – This is surely a no-brainer, but you would be surprised how
many students do not take advantage of this program — perhaps because they don’t know
most colleges offer this. Pre-purchasing your books allows you to pick up all your books in
one fell swoop — and a lot of times, for an extra cost, you can have them delivered right
to your room. If you wait until the day before classes start to shop the bookstore for your
books, the lines will be extremely long, and you could waste half your day in line. Another
option is to consider renting your books, pre-ordering them online, or shopping an off-campus
college bookstore.
• Price your meal plans – Room and board expenses are sometimes more than tuition itself,
especially at state schools, so choose your meal plans wisely. Oftentimes, students get the
biggest plan available, even though they might not go to the dining hall that often. Give
this some serious thought, and if you don’t plan on frequenting the dining hall, consider
getting a smaller plan.

G
oing back to school can be a stressful time for
both students and their parents. After months
of being out of school and enjoying the summer,
it can be difficult to get back into the school routine.
Instead of vacations, hanging out with friends and enjoying the nice weather, it is now time to head back to
school and the world of homework, readings, tests and
projects. However, I have some tips that I developed
while I was still in school studying to be a teacher that
made doing school work a lot easier and may just help
students who need a way to stay focused.
Plan Ahead – For older students who are assigned
long-term projects, it is important to plan your time accordingly. Don’t save all your work until the day before
the project is due — set up a preliminary timeline and
try to stick to it. First off, it gives you a sense of accomplishment when you successfully reach your goals.
Additionally, instead of long nights rushing at the last
minute to complete projects and feeling helpless, you
can break the work up into smaller, less daunting tasks
and alleviate a lot of unnecessary headaches.
Environment – Don’t study in your dorm, unless you
absolutely have to. Constant distractions from your
computer, your phone, neighbors’ music, and friends
who don’t care that you have a major project due all help
contribute to a less-than-effective studying atmosphere.
Head to the library, or the quad, where it’s quiet and less
distracting. Turn your music off so you can focus, and
be sure to take short breaks once in a while to prevent
fatigue and better remember the material.
Take Good Notes - Learning how to take proper notes
should be a class in and of itself. Don’t try to write down
everything the professor says, but make sure to notate
important topics that you can then go back and refer to
in your textbook for in-depth information. Write down
whatever your instructor puts on the board, because if
it was important to them to write it, chances are it will
appear on your test. Before studying, be sure to compare notes and impressions of the lecture with a fellow
student, to make sure you didn’t miss any important
points.
If you need to pull an all-nighter
- Limit caffeine and sugar. These
might seem like good ideas, but
both leave you open to the inevitable crash that occurs when
they wear off. Instead, eat proteinrich snacks and drink plenty of
water. Studying with a group of
fellow all-night studiers can be
helpful. If someone in the group
drifts off, the others can give him
or her a good wake-up shove.
However, it’s important that the
group not serve as a distraction.
Music can be a life-saver during
an all-nighter. Pick some music
that’s loud enough to keep you
awake, but calm enough to not
be a distraction.
