Karen O’Dell of Edgemere Drive “walked on water” to shoot these photos of the Perch/Pike Fishing Derby at Braddock Bay on Sunday, January 25. O’Dell said it was the first time she had ventured out onto the Bay’s ice and she met many there enjoying the sport of ice fishing. Bob Smith (kneeling, orange pants) caught an 11 lb. fish. Shown above (l to r) Mike McCormick (back row), Bowie, Dave Tiefert, Mike Griffin, middle row, Bob Smith (winner of tournament), Rob Gary and in front, Dillon Griffon. Participants weighed-in their catches and shared their fishing stories at Romig’s Tavern. Dillon Griffon relaxed a bit in the warm up hut. Above, an auger used to drill into the ice.

Applications for Preservation League’s Signature Grant Programs due by April 13

Applications are available to eligible municipalities and not-for-profit organizations to compete for Preserve New York and Technical Assistance Grants (TAG), the signa-ture grant programs of the Preservation League of New York State and the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA).

A total of $153,603 is available in 2015. The League will disburse this amount over two grant rounds, Preserve New York and TAG in the spring, and an additional TAG funding round in the fall.

The application deadline for Spring TAG and 2015 Pre-serve New York is Monday, April 13. Guidelines for grants are posted on the League’s website at www.preservenys.org. Prospective applicants must discuss proposed proj-ects with Preservation League staff before receiving an application. Contact Erin Tobin, Director of Preservation, at 518-462-5658 x 12 for information or to request an ap-plication.•Preserve New York provides support to identify, docu-ment, and preserve New York’s cultural and historic buildings, structures, and landscapes. Grants can be made for historic structure reports, cultural landscape reports and cultural resource surveys. Eligible projects may include but not be limited to: a historic structure report for a cultural institution or public building; a cul-tural landscape report for an Olmsted-designed park; or a cultural resource survey of a downtown or residential neighborhood.

In 2015, the Preservation League especially encourages projects that advance the preservation of neighborhoods and downtowns that qualify for the NYS Historic Reha-bilitation Tax Credit; continue the use of historic public buildings for cultural and artistic purposes; identify and

protect buildings and cultural landscapes at risk due to technological, transportation and energy developments; and preserve architecture and landscapes designed after World War II.•The Preservation League of New York State launched the Technical Assistance Grant (TAG) program in 2012 to support discrete projects that preserve New York State’s cultural and historic resources. Not-for-profit arts/cultur-al groups and municipalities managing arts/cultural fa-cilities are encouraged to apply. The applicant group may apply for short-term, standalone projects that advance the preservation of historic sites, museums, opera houses and theaters, arts facilities and other culturally impor-tant institutions that are located in historic buildings and structures that are open to the public. These professional studies include: building conditions surveys, engineering/structural analyses, feasibility/reuse studies and special-ized building conservation studies. Preparation of archi-tectural plans and specifications are not eligible.

Grant amounts will not exceed $3,000 and the total cost of the applicant’s project may not exceed $3,500. Each ap-plicant must provide $500 toward the total project cost.

The Preserve New York Grant and Technical Assistance Grant programs are made possible through funding from the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Leg-islature.

For a list of previous grant recipients, visit the League’s website at www.preservenys.org. Locally, the Village of Holley received a $5,000 Preserve New York grant to sup-port the cost of a Historic District nomination of some 40 properties located on and near Holley’s Public Square.

Westside News Community Link - Winter Edition 2015 15

…when I was a kid,in my neighborhood…by Leisa Strabel

Eighteen side walk squares from my house to the corner, stay to the right on number four (the left side is crumbly) gain enough speed to hit the tree root-created bump on number nine and fly up to come back down on number 11.

Don’t loiter near the end of Mrs. J’s driveway, she’ll come out on the porch with her broom and chase you away. Mr. and Mrs. R have the best tree to climb, you can get high up and not be seen. Cross the street away from the G family’s house – the dog is on a chain but his growl is pretty scary. The C family has a patch of soft grass that is different than any other grass around – it’s the perfect place to lay on a summer day and watch the clouds go by.

Neighbors and neighborhoods are among the formative elements of childhood. Children know these environs in ways that adults do not. Children explore small spaces, unnoticed spaces, behind the fence spac-es. They observe events unhurried by the clock. This early knowledge stays with us buried under tons of other information gathered over our lifetimes. But a scent on a breeze, the sound a squeaky swing chain makes, a yellowed black and white photograph can bring back amaz-ingly detailed memories.

I grew up in the West Union Street neighborhood of the Village of Holley. Mrs. P would come from across the street in the early hours of the morning, after my father left for work, to have coffee with my mom before the day truly got started. I knew it was her coming in by the soft-ness of the door opening and closing, the smell of her perfume wafting up the stairs. If I came down the stairs early she would be there in a bright pink bathrobe, her hair in wiry-looking curlers.

For some inexplicable reason, the second horse-swing on the little playground swung the highest. If you weren’t afraid to be yelled at, Mr. and Mrs. D’s grapevines were a great place to hide while playing hide-and-seek at the big playground. Mr. B was very ill. We were never to go running up onto his porch or yell or scream near his house. I’m not sure I ever saw Mr. B but I remember the somberness that was there.

If the Village Crew was working on the street or sidewalks and you stood around watching for a while, one of them would give you a piece of gum or candy and tell you to scoot. We knew where the rough spots always seemed to form on the skating pond at the firemen’s field and how riding your banana bike down the back alley to Korn’s IGA was a high speed thrill filled with the danger of pothole avoidance.

Fast-forward 25 years and I raised my children in the Frazier Street neighborhood of the Village of Brockport. They are grown up and have lived out of state for several years now but I wonder what their child-hood recollections of our old neighborhood are. Can they visualize the sidewalk squares – the cracks and crumbles – from the P family house to the fire hydrant where we made them turn their first two-wheelers around?

Where were their best neighborhood hide-and-seek spots? Was there a highest Barry Street playground swing? Which neighbor had the best tree to climb? Who bought the most lemonade from their stand? Was there a neighbor that scolded them for cutting through the yard?

There are things they cannot remember, that Mrs. S brought over a pot of soup on the day we brought Carly home from the hospital or the day I met my best friend of 25 years pushing Greg in the stroller down the street. But my children probably know many, many things I do not know about our old neighborhood.

Perhaps like me they remember neighborhood things unexpectedly – a certain bird chirp or loud muffler, the smell of wet leaves or a bright-ly painted front door – takes them back to glimpses of their childhood neighborhood not a part of their parents’ memories. I hope so.
