a 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. unfor-tunately, appreciable numbers of kids head to school without the basics they need to ex-cel. 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.

wake up americato 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, home-less, 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 medi-cations, 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 repre-sentatives, 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?

information from the wayne county website

lakeshore livinghuron

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 hu-ron 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 house-hold 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 com-ing, 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 egalitar-ian 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 reputa-tion for quality.

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 ca-nal 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 shaker tract. Fearing for the safety of their community, the shak-ers 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.

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 in-ventory 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 with-out 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 man-agement of his father-in-law, Joseph cimineri. at the urg-ing 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 en-terprise 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, ba-nanas 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) authoriza-tion. 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 neces-sary 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 sched-ule. 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.

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 anniver-sary 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 por-traying 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 his-tory 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 con-cert. 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 depart-ment. people were shuttled to and from the church grounds by horses and wagons.


developed during the lackadai-sical summer days.

“summertime, everybody’s on their own little schedule,” or-lowski says. “i try to encourage the parents, two weeks before school starts, to try to get back into a routine.”

that routine must include bed-times 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 morn-ing 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, anxi-ety, 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 pil-low. 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 droop-ing 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, provid-ing an early-morning boost that can prepare students for learn-ing. a joint harvard university/Massachusetts general hospital study found that children who regularly ate breakfast scored higher on standardized tests, exhibited better classroom be-havior, 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 substanc-es, and to have lower body mass indexes-an important indicator of the future risk of obesity.

unfor tunately, not all k ids head off to school with some-thing good in their stomachs. a variety 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 es-sence, 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 break-fast, ask his or her teachers how well they do in class, par-ticularly before lunch. orlowski says that kids who have trouble paying attention, concentrating, or grasping concepts in class or are disruptive might be suf-fering 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 early-morning repast, though pro-fessionals 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 excel-lent 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 early-morning 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 pro-gram, 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 high-sugar 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 quali f y for f ree break fasts , Richardson says.

Now that your kids are fu-eled 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 stu-dents 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, text-books, 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 con-tribute 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 over-loaded backpacks might pres-ent, 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 orthope-dics 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 backpacks 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 carry their books and other materials in wheeled bags, or-lowski 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 chil-dren’s schools have up-to-date emergency contact informa-tion and lists of their health problems, physical limitations, allergies and medications.

“i want to be able to give back to the community what my com-munity 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 allmangregory allman says sodus’s roads are in need of major im-

provements. “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 superin-tendent,” 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.

a group of wayne coun-ty farmers gave sen. K irsten gil l ibrand 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 sea-sonal employees, nothing else is going to matter,” said phil wag-ner, 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 dairy 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 mi-grant, 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 f ind local workers to harvest their crops even in this time of high employment. he said that without the five migrant workers who are cur-rently working on his farm, he couldn’t get his apple crop in.

“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 harvest season, wagner said. though he and the other farmers who spoke to the lake-shore 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 regula-tions regarding migrant labor, and some pushed gillibrand to work for passage of the agricul-tural Job opportunities, Benefits and securities act, also known as the “agJoBs” bill. gillibrand and five other democratic sena-tors, Robert Menendez of New Jersey, patrick leahy of Ver-mont, dick durbin of illinois and chuck schumer of New york introduced the bill as part of the comprehensive immigra-tion Reform act of 2011.

the agJoBs bill would cre-ate a program whereby many undocumented farm workers and agricultural guestworkers could gain temporary immi-gration status based on their past work experience. work-ers 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 compre-hensive immigration Reform act is currently in committee. gillibrand said comprehensive immigration reform probably will not make it through con-gress this year.

“it ’s pure politics,” she said. “i cannot find one Republican senator who would do immigra-tion 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 end-ed, 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 dif-ficult 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 interview 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.

gillibrand 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 sea-sonal 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 dud-ley, 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 is-sues 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 communities in which they work, schmidt estimates.

some of that money comes to parts of oswego county. su-san 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.

audubon center pilots youth sportsmen

saVaNNah - a dozen 12 to 14 year-old-youth completed the Montezuma audubon cen-ter’s 1st annual youth sports-man week on Fr iday, aug. 19. throughout the f ive day program, par-ticipants suc-cessfully ac-quired their hunter edu-cation, Bow hunting, and w a t e r f o w l identification certificates.

we designed the week for kids to have f u n i n t h e summer while becoming more connected to the conservation value of hunt-ing,” said audubon teacher-Naturalist Frank Morehouse who is also a certified Nysdec hunter education instructor. “the kids not only got to go home with their certificates, but they also left with a heightened appreciation of the Montezuma wetlands comple x and i t s importance to both game and non-game wildlife.”

“this is just one piece of our initiative to connect young sportsmen to hunting’s role in

conservation,” said Montezuma audubon center Frank Moses. “the decline of hunting is a major threat to our mission in protecting and enhancing habitat for birds and other wild-

life,” said Moses. “sportsmen contribute much needed re-sources toward habitat whether it’s through taxes on firearms, purchasing duck stamps, or through donations to conserva-tion groups.”

Bass pro shops of auburn has been the center’s top sportsman sponsor in addition to some support from other sponsors like tarjac of waterloo. “these programs for youth are impor-tant for the future of outdoor sports and conservation,” said Bass pro of auburn general Manager James King. “instill-ing stewardship into the next generation through hunting is one of the best investments we can make.”

the Montezuma audubon center has been hosting hunter education courses since it was built in 2006 and also will be holding the 4th annual Robert deRoo Memorial youth conser-vation dinner and hunt on oct. 7 and 8. also, in the afternoon of oct. 8, ducks unlimited will be hosting a “Family hunter’s party” at the center.

along with ducks unlimited, other partners supporting the center’s sportsman initiative have been the Nysdec, the wayne county Federation of sportsmen’s clubs, and volun-teers from the Friends of the Montezuma wetlands com-plex.

several days ago, i had an interesting discussion with a colleague. we talk-

ed 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 spiritu-ality. 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 in-triguing. 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 ar-ticle 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 do-it-yourself efforts that leave us feeling better about ourselves. we can actually structure a lifestyle that gives us the ap-pearance of divinely appointed knights in shining armor. hav-ing 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 John-son makes stirred the soup a little faster: the Bible isn’t about you; it’s for you. No mat-ter 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 no-tions 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 command-ments become guidelines and not statements of obligation. in my christian understanding, we respond to the overwhelm-ing love that god showed us in Jesus christ and then live fruit-ful 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 grantcontributed 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 hazard-ous blue green algae blooms with hydrogen peroxide on sodus Bay.

the grant, titled “direct Miti-gation of a harmful algal Bloom in sodus Bay, lake ontario” is funded by the epa great lakes National program office, gl-Npo.

algae blooms became abun-dant on sodus Bay in 2010 short-ening the area’s busy tourism season. Many families make sodus Bay their annual sum-mer destination. the economic impacts of the bloom on the re-gion 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 cyanobacteria at swimming beaches. in addition ohio epa used a similar approach in april 2011 to control toxic cyanobac-teria 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 cyanobac-terial when a larger area of the bay is treated. there will prob-ably be some large plastic enclo-sures on the Bay where limited treatment will be applied with the option of full scale treat-ment in two years.

Ny dec will also be involved in the permitting process and

will assist with detailed moni-toring of the effects and safety of this material on plankton, zooplankton and fish popula-tions.

public involvement played a key role in obtaining this grant. the study project has broad support throughout the business community, elected of f icials, and the sodus Bay residents have stepped forward, not necessarily to offer money, but to offer their labor, hous-ing, 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 in-ternships. these internships will be recruited from the lo-cal communities surrounding sodus Bay and will provide needed employment opportuni-ties 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 proj-ect 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.

hotchkiss Building Busy

lyoNs - work has been ongoing at the h.g.hotchkiss essential oil building since the lyons heritage society obtained the site on July 18, 2011.

Richie santelli, a local contractor, was hired to start plan a, which the lyons heritage board approved. concentrating on the front of the building, Richie power washed the front, repaired and replaced the stucco and bottom boards, replaced two windows, designed and made moldings, fixed a gutter, added an outside water spigot, repainted the lettering, and attached the hotchkiss mural to the loading dock. this mural is used during tours of the

building. these repairs were supported by an anonymous dona-tion to the society.

work has been going on inside, too. Most of the work has been done by many dedicated lyons heritage members. two rooms have been painted, a gift shop is soon to be in place, the lyons room has new shelving and bottle displays, and the warehouse has been thoroughly cleaned.

plan B is the next phase, as soon as funding is available. this is to be a thorough checking and repair or replace, if necessary, the furnace, electric work, and plumbing.

the hotchkiss essential oil building is still open to boaters, if given advanced notice, even with the ongoing work. there will be an open house/dedication for the general public at a later date.

Be prepared for weather-Related events

with recent weather events, the cayuga county health depart-ment 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.

F i r s t a i d k i t / f i r s t a i d 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 suit-able 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.

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.

w e ll w hat a cr a z y week we have had. a tornado, earth-

quake, and a hurr icane al l 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 f iremen (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 volun-teer 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 break-ing 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.

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.

hurricane irene Brings limited damage

c ay u g a co u N t y - eve r y school year more than 2.3 mil-lion 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 ter-noon (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 unload-ing 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 involve-ment 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 flash-ing 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 get-ting on or off the bus.

in New york state it is manda-tory that traffic stop in both directions and on divided road-ways when students are enter-ing or exiting a school bus.

Be alert, children are unpre-dictable.

children need to be educated on the dangers in and around a school bus. the “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 instruction 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 re-turn to their school bus for any reason, remind them that their driver might not see them and they could be injured.

Back pack s b elong on the 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 wait-ing 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 keep-ing our children out of harm’s way.

Remember, it’s all about the kids!

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 resi-dents who had debris littering their yards.

hurricane irene was respon-sible 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 state-wide total of 124,931 outages statewide.

however, in wayne and ca-yuga 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 county, 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 county dodged widespread outages that af-fected 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 com-pletely resolved by tuesday morning.

empire tree surgeons worked for nearly two days removing a huge willow tree, which toppled during hurricane irene. the tree fell on a Mercedes and, damaged the home and another car on greig street, sodus point. pictured is the removal of the root section

of the enormous tree which was planted in 1950 by the home owners.

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 James-vi l le, N.y. august 24, 1926, the daughter of harold and genevieve (Kopp) downing. she was proud that her down-ing ancestors had been traced back to england even prior to the settling of the american colonies. one of those ances-tors had come to Massachusetts and fought for freedom in the revolution and with that heri-tage 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 trav-eled 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 Nor-man pangburn and settled in clyde joining many other mem-bers of the pangburn family on what was known at the time as “pangburn hill”. thelma and Norman welcomed two sons Kyle and Kevin. thelma contin-ued teaching 2nd grade for most of her 30 year career, retiring in 1984 to take care of her ailing husband Norman.

t helma enjoye d travel ing when she could and had a de-lightful sense of humor right up to the very end. she was warm, f r iendly, fun loving,

determined, charitable and gen-erous 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 neph-ews 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 estab-lished in her name to provide a scholarship to a graduating clyde-savannah high school student to help them fulf ill their dreams of going to col-lege to become an elementary school teacher as thelma did. donations can be made to the clyde-savannah school district, 215 glasgow st, clyde, Ny 14433 to the attention of the thelma M. pangburn Memorial schol-arship.

self-therapy for the stutterer available at local library

self-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 li-brary 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 communica-tion. 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 difficul-ties 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.

h i s t o R ystories about what made our communities great

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 sim-ple 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 court, 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, run-ning 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 f ine example of an early ontario park cot tage is ha ha. long t ime owner s Mr. and Mrs. Rizzoli believe the name was inspired by william wadsworth longfellow’s clas-sic poem “hiawatha” based on an indian legend. From the waterfall he named her, Min-nehaha, laughing water.” the cottage was built in 1892 and is much as built originally, though it was moved to its cur-rent 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 sum-mer camp or cottage seems to

steRliNg 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 toi-lets 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 en-joyment 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 cov-ered 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 hitch-ing 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 swap-ping 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 fam-ily 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 NewspapersBy 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 harp-er established a small printing f irm 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 newspa-per that was being printed in england and in 1850 the firm launched harper’s Monthly. it was a successful venture and in

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 informa-tion on those that served in the civil war. thank you.

1857 began to publish harper’s weekly. By 1860 the circula-tion 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 el-ephant for the Republicans. he helped to develop the character of uncle sam who represented the united states.

harper’s weekly took a moder-ate stance on the issue of slav-ery. 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 abra-ham 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

be printed (wood cuts). the printing was done on a newspa-per 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. to-day 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 execu-tive 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 confeder-ate officers, troops, pictures of ships and articles on naval happenings.

the harper’s weekly was pub-lished from 1857-1916.

the Benefits of school organizationsRich duncan | lakeshore News

one 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 suc-cess. 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 you can use after graduation.

• opportunities for leadership. don’t be afraid to include any college clubs or orga-nizations in which you play an active role on your resume, as potential employers are likely to value your volunteer work as much as any unrelated, paid work experi-ence. the point is not necessarily to focus on the actual duties, but to showcase your abilities.

studying tipsRich duncan | lakeshore News

going 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 en-joying 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 ac-cordingly. 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 ac-complishment 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 com-pare 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 in-evitable crash that occurs when they wear off. instead, eat protein-rich 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.

tips From a Recent gradRich duncan | lakeshore News

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.
