Never Any Subcontractors Sounds like its MILLER TIME Covering the Finger Lakes for over 25 years www.DEMILLERROOFING.com By HEATHER SWANSON [email protected] GENEVA — The Boys & Girls Clubs of Geneva will honor a master gardener as its Volunteer of the Year later this month. Stephen Wyckoff will be recognized Oct. 25 at the club’s 17th annual dinner. In addition, the city of Geneva and the city school district will be honored as the club’s Community Partners of the Year. Though the Boys & Girls Club has many dedicated volunteers, Executive Director Arlene Francis said Wyckoff stood out for his years of commitment and sheer volume of time he dedicates, particularly in the past year. “Steve Wyckoff has put in a tremendous amount of time this year and has really enhanced the experi- ence with the garden club,” Francis explained. Wyckoff is devoted to planning and operating the Community Garden Center on the club’s home turf, the Geneva Community Center. The garden is used by the Teen Center’s Garden Club, the club’s Roots & Shoots group for children 2 to 8 years old and the Geneva Senior Citizen’s Club. Wyckoff volunteers on a weekly basis, planning activities and hosting other volunteers, including Hobart and William Smith Colleges students. To the club’s young gar- deners, Wyckoff imparts not only the tricks of a green thumb, but the sci- ence behind it. “Right down to the sim- plistic terms like, ‘It’s not dirt, but soil,’” Francis noted with a chuckle. “Steve is a wealth of knowledge.” Wyckoff has a way with the children, she added, noting he has been able to share some of his skills with other volunteers. “He gets to know the kids and picks up on their strengths, which is what we’re really all about,” Francis elaborated. Wyckoff also assists with the teen program and vari- ous club projects, and pro- vides resources for staff training. He keeps a con- stant watch on other com- munity endeavors and is quick to let the club know when other Geneva initia- tives might align with their own efforts, Francis explained. “He’s a phenomenal wealth and resource in the community for those who are willing to tap into him,” she added. Perhaps his best quality, Francis stated, is modesty. “He just doesn’t under- stand why he should be Volunteer of the Year, and that’s even more endear- ing,” Francis remarked. As for the Community Partners of the Year, Francis said the school dis- trict is overdue for the recognition. “What a wonderful part- nership from the very beginning,” she comment- ed, noting their close rela- tionship stretches back years and includes numer- ous school officials serving on the board and program committees. That cooperation includes things like caring for the grounds and letting the club use the school gym for basketball program- ming. The club has benefited from school partnerships related to the 21st Century Grant and the School Innovation Fund, collabo- rating on programs that benefit students, she added. Francis praised the dis- trict’s new superintendent, Trina Newton, for her sup- port, and said Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction Lawrence Wright has long been a supporter of the club. “It’s a great partner- ship,” she said. The city of Geneva’s sup- port of the club also has been hugely important, she noted. “They have partnered with us by supporting us through city funds for youth development pro- grams that the Geneva City Recreation does not do,” she explained. The city’s support has been essential in expanding opportunities and opening up programming that bene- fit the whole city. That includes things like the Geneva Senior Citizen’s Club’s use of the communi- ty center, recreation depart- ment programs hosted there, a basketball league at the high school and even city police mentors.

The Colleges’ Dance Department is bringing the acclaimed Kyle Abraham to campus Thursday with his compa- ny, Abraham.In.Motion. Abraham will stay in Geneva through Oct. 12, with a number of performances and classes lined up. Events include: • A master class on dance technique from 3 to 4 p.m. Friday at Winn Seeley studio ; $10. • “Dialogue in Motion” from 2 to 4:30 p.m. Sunday at Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church, 70 Clark St., in Geneva. AIM dancers will per- form excerpts from “Pavement” and join members of the congregation and the Geneva Human Rights Commission Community Dialogue on Race in a multi-layered dialogue on race, identity and neighborhood. Registration required by Wednesday. • A Dance as Identity workshop from 11:55 a.m. to 1:20 p.m. Oct. 11 at Winn Seeley Dance Studio. • A performance of “Pavement” at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 12 at Winn Seeley Gym Theater; tickets are $8, $5 for stu- dents and seniors. Honored in June with the 2012 Jacob’s Pillow Dance Award and recip- ient of a 2010 “Bessie” Award for out- standing performance in dance for “The Radio Show,” Abraham began his training at the Civic Light Opera Academy and the Creative Performing Arts High School in his hometown of Pittsburgh. He contin- ued his dance studies in New York, receiving a BFA from SUNY Purchase and an MFA from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. Abraham has danced with acclaimed modern-dance companies including David Dorfman Dance, Bill T Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, Dance Alloy and the Kevin Wynn Collection. In addition to “Pavement,” Abraham is at work creating a new piece for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater for a December, 2012 premiere and a duet with New York City Ballet principal dancer Wendy Whalen. Since forming his company, Abraham.In.Motion in 2006, Abraham has garnered multiple acco- lades, including being named as one of “25 To Watch” by Dance Magazine, an Individual Artist Fellowship from the New York Foundation for the Arts, and being described by Out magazine as one of “the best and brightest cre- ative talents to emerge in New York City in the age of Obama.” Audiences in Geneva will have the opportunity to see “Pavement” before its official premiere in November at the Harlem Stages in New York. Abraham describes “Pavement” as a culturally referenced, evening-length dance work that draws inspiration from W.E.B. Dubois’ classic essays “Souls of Black Folk,” the John Singleton film “Boyz N The Hood,” and Phillipe Jaroussky’s album “Carestini: The Story of a Castrato.” Abraham sets “Pavement” in Pittsburgh’s historically black neigh- borhoods, Homewood and the Hill District, and layers contemporary dance movement, classical music, and narrative to evoke an emotional chronology of a culture “plagued by discrimination, genocide, and a con- stant quest for a lottery ticket.” Professor of Dance Cynthia Williams was first drawn to Abraham’s work when she saw “The Radio Show” in 2011, and began con- versations with Abraham at Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival in the summer of 2011 about bringing his company to Hobart and William Smith Colleges. “Kyle’s work is powerful,” Williams noted. “The questions he explores are gritty and relevant; his choreography is visually stunning: expansive ges- tures, movement that transforms from fluid undulations to explosive energy, and an emotional content that reaches everyone in the audience. I am thrilled to host Kyle Abraham and Abraham.In.Motion for this October residency.” Tickets for performances may be purchased at the door.

SHAW [email protected] SENECA FALLS — Property owners should not see an increase in their 2013 town taxes ... unless their assess- ment increased. Supervisor Don Earle will present a tentative budget at tonight’s meeting. Then, three budget workshops and a public hearing will be scheduled before a final budget is adopted. “It looks positive,” Earle said Monday. “It doesn’t look like tax rates will go up.” This will be Earle’s first budget since taking office in January. He said the general fund tax rate will remain at $2.35 per $1,000 of assessed value. The highway tax of $1.61 per $1,000 should also be offered next year. Property owners in the former vil- lage will pay a debt district tax rate of 61 cents per $1,000, down a penny from this year. Those outside the for- mer village will again pay 5 cents per $1,000 for the debt district. Other taxes and fees that Earle said should be similar to this year are the fire protection rate, of 99 cents per $1,000; and the refuse collection fee, which is a flat fee of $68 per house- hold. Earle said he’s still working on water and sewer rates but anticipates they also will hold the line. The tentative budget includes $2.8 million in revenue from Seneca Meadows Landfill under terms of its host community benefits agreement. That calls for the landfill to provide the town with 5 percent of its gross annual revenues. “We will also be getting additional revenue from the landfill for treat- ment if its pre-treated leachate,” Earle said. In another matter, one of the five people who’ve asked to address the board is Dana Allen. He will ask the board to consider leasing office space in Academy Square, the former Mynderse Academy on North Park Street, at a lower rate than it now pays to lease in the former St. Patrick’s School. In other agenda items: PETITIONERS: In addition to Allen, other people asking to address the board and their topics are Penny Lincoln on parking issues, Gail Fletcher on the cleanup of Sampson Creek, Jane Lischak on water and sewer rates and Stanley Praszkowitz on town finances. AUDIT: Karl Hagen from the Bonadio Group will speak on the draft town audit for 2011. CREDIT RATING: The board will discuss whether to take the steps needed to obtain a credit rating from Standard & Poor’s or some other rat- ing agency. The town may need the rating if it borrows in the future. APPOINTMENT: The board will consider a recommendation to hire Daniel Jacobson as a part-time police officer.

Earle said he’s still working onwater and sewer rates but anticipatesthey also will hold the line.

The tentative budget includes $2.8million in revenue from SenecaMeadows Landfill under terms of itshost community benefits agreement.That calls for the landfill to providethe town with 5 percent of its grossannual revenues.

“We will also be getting additional
