Two Spencerport educators are among state’s Master Teachers Two Spencerport educators are among the state’s Master Teachers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM), after Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced on October 2 the selection of 275 educators from across New York State to this prestigious program. Matthew Amoroso has 25 years of experience in education and teaches math at Cosgrove Middle School. Nancy Mancuso has 18 years of experience in education and teaches AP science at Spencerport

High School. Both Amoroso and Mancuso are also active beyond the classroom, serving as curriculum leaders, members on district leadership committees, and an advisor in the Ranger Robotics program. The two will now be among the network of Master Teachers, which totals 980 statewide. “Education is the cornerstone to success, and it is the brilliant, dedicated teachers in New York who make a difference in countless lives and inspire the leaders of tomorrow,” Governor Cuomo said. “Congratulations to the 275 newest members of the Master Teacher Program, who will join the ranks of the top educators in the state as they work to further their skills and their impact on students in every corner of this great state.” In nine regions across the state, the Master Teacher Program is hosted at a SUNY campus to leverage the expertise of the University’s faculty and existing educator preparation programs. The number of teachers from the Finger Lakes regional cohort are 131 (SUNY Geneseo). Created in 2013, the Master Teacher program recognizes educators and engages them in a four-year program, in which they: •Receive a $15,000 stipend annually; •Engage in peer mentoring and intensive content-oriented professional development opportunities throughout the academic year;

•Attend required regional cohort meetings, participate in and lead several professional development sessions each year. Provided information and photos
Holley’s Odd Fellows Hall selected as one of Five to Revive by Landmark Society On October 9, the Landmark Society of Western New York announced its 2018 Five to Revive – a list that identifies opportunities for targeted, strategic revitalization. The Odd Fellows Hall located

in the Village of Holley was among those selected. “Each year, the Landmark Society works closely on these priorities with owners, municipal officials, and developers to facilitate
investment and foster rehabilitation,” said Wayne Goodman, Executive Director. The ultimate goal is to return these important historic resources to a place of prominence in their respective communities, as economic and social assets that spark even more investment and revitalization. “Being part of the list gives these properties more visibility and, as a result, may expand their funding options,” said Tom Castelein, President of the Landmark Society Board, who also chairs the Five to Revive committee. “Some on the list may already be on the road to revitalization but placement on this list draws the focused attention of government officials, developers, and preservation advocates and, in many cases, unlocks more resources to effectively preserve our heritage and promote economic development.” Built in 1890, the former Odd Fellows Hall in the village of Holley sits at a prominent corner in the village square and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Holley Village Historic District. Vacant for the past two years, this two and a half story brick building is at-risk
due to neglect and masonry deterioration. Larger and more imposing than its immediate neighbors, this anchor building is a key element in Holley’s downtown commercial district. A new owner and a plan for reuse are critical to the ongoing revitalization of downtown Holley. The 2018 Five to Revive represents a diverse selection that includes urban, industrial, institutional, and domestic resources. Other properties on the list include: Parrott Hall in Geneva; Former National Yeast Co. and Iroquois Motor Car Factory in Seneca Falls; Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School Campus in Rochester’s Highland Park neighborhood; and Rochester’s Aqueduct Reimagined which has been billed as the “centerpiece of downtown transformation.” Although their future is uncertain, each property on the list has potential to spark positive change and enhance the communities in which they are located.
