Lowell Joins Sta te Legislative N e t w o r k

Bradley Lowell is one of nearly 200 school board members appointed to the State Legislative Network of the New York State School Boards Association.

The network is made up of school board members from each Assembly and Senatorial district in every coun­ty of the State outside New York City.

State Legislative network members maintain contact with their legislators on behalf of local school boards and keep their legislators in­formed on the school board's position on education issues. In addition to urging legislators' support of NYSSBA program bills, the members of the State Legislative Network will in 1984 be pressing for increased State aid to public schools; for State assistance for improving the quality of public education; for reform of the present extremely costly teacher discipline procedures and for full State funding of the new Fire Code re­quirements that apply to existing buildings.

Lowell is president of the Keshequa Central School Board of Education

'Some of Nunda's streets had dif­ferent names in the beginning. Fourth Street was logically called North street. Some old maps show a Third Street, sort of an extension of Massachusetts Street, but this street was never built. Massachusetts Street was originally called Union Street and then renamed for its settlers, many of whom came from that state. One wonders if this is how Vermont Street got its name. Water Street was called Rawson Street in honor of an early s$ttjer.

on the east side of the square as well. A footnote to this tragedy: Mr. and Mrs. Stewart and their surviving daughter, May, moved to the Foote apartment house on State Street, had another baby and when little Robert was still a toddler, he ran out in front of a car and was killed.

There used to be a block at the cor­ner of Second and State streets called Holmes Hall, which was used as a high school as well as a store. It burn­ed and the Union Block, or the present post office block, was built in its place.

The last two buildings that have been moved any distance in Nunda are: 1. The two-car garage built by Fred Olp on his property at the corner of East and Fair streets. It was moved to Dr. Norman Smith's lot on Mill street in 1960 or 61 and converted to a residence.

There was sledding down the hills and ice skating on the ponds and creeks in winter and also sleigh rides. Hot dog roasts with the neighbors all getting together after chores were held winter and summer, and hay rides, with horses pulling the wagon or sleigh. Yes, we were all kept busy but we also had time for such things, which were fun.

Neighbors may have lived farther apart then (and some still do) but they always managed to gather together and help one another when needed. I found that is a difference between city and country living. Here, everyone knows everone else and in a big city,

There hasn't been much news this week due to the storm. As of Thurs­day, Mar. 1, it was still quite blustery and we have more snow than we've had all winter long. It wouldn't be quite so bad if the wind didn't blow, making it colder and hazardous to be out on the roads. Several area people who work in Rochester couldn't make it home and, thanks to the hospitality of fellow workers who live in the city, they had places to stay. I guess there are still good people around.

There used to be five small stores on Sast Street where the Douglass Ford agency is now located. Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Stewart and their four daughters lived up over one of them and one winter day in 1926, Mrs. Stewart left the three younger children alone while she went to the stole.
