•There was a lot of talk about Cable TV coming to the area. Sweden Supervisor John Sodoma and Brockport Mayor James Stull didn’t think it was needed. Hilton Mayor Tom Younker thought it would be “a tremendous asset” because local access channels would be available to keep residents informed. Spencerport took the first step towards acquiring Cable TV by forming a citizen’s advisory committee. Cable had already been introduced in the Churchville Green development as an alternative to placing antennas on all 212 units, but the temporary permit was soon expiring and the Village would have to start at the beginning to receive a new permit.

•Forget the presidential election - the closest race in 1996 was the race for Sweden Town Council. Only three votes separated Democratic challenger Mort Wexler and Republican incumbent Jim Rice. A tabulating machine failure delayed the counting of 175 absentee ballots. After all the votes had been counted, Wexler was declared the winner.

15 years ago in 2001 September 2001 •Local communities and residents reached out in support of the victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Pennsylvania. Flags were flying across the area as vigils, rallies, blood drives and fundraisers dominated local events. More than 300 people attended a candlelight vigil at the Hilton Gazebo. Local emergency service and law enforcement personnel volunteered time on September 20 to “Pass the Boot” as part of a county-wide effort to raise funds for the families of emergency service workers lost at the World Trade Center. Boy scouts held a rally for patriotism at Frontier Field. Members of St. John Lutheran Church in Hamlin hosted the “Lift Up America! Ham Dinner” with proceeds going to relief efforts. Seven members of Spencerport Ambulance covered two 12 hour shifts working near Ground Zero. •Spencerport resident and prominent local writer Paul Humphrey died on September 28 at age 86. He was a frequent contributor to the Suburban News and Hamlin Clarkson Herald. His works known as “The Lighter Touch” had appeared in the Westside News publications since the mid-1980s.
November 2001 •On November 1 it became illegal to use hand-held cellular phones while operating a motor vehicle in New York State. •Churchville’s new 4,700 square foot, $600,000 Village Hall opened. •The area code for Orleans, Genesee, Monroe and Wyoming counties changed from 716 to 585 effective November 15. The Buffalo area retained the 716 area code.
The Brockport Fire Department unveiled and dedicated their Firefighters Memorial Monument located at Capen Hose Company Station #4, South Main Street, on August 18, 2002. The monument featured wood carvings by Brockport’s Richard Kron similar to the famous photograph of three firefighters raising the American flag on a leaning pole at Ground Zero on September 11, 2001. File photo by Walter Horylev. 12 years ago in September 2004 At age 16, Churchville’s Lyndsay Wall became the youngest woman hockey player to ever compete in the Olympics. Wall brought home a silver medal from the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City. The Village of Churchville held a rally and parade to welcome home their Olympian. File photo by Walter Horylev.
•In the early morning hours of September 9, Brockport, Spencerport and Ogden officials toured their communities to assess conditions following nearly a full day and night rainfall. What they and many other town and village leaders throughout the area found were roadways flooded and impassable. Spared the brunt of Hurricane Frances which caused so much damage in Bermuda and Florida during Labor Day weekend, the northeast was not spared the torrential precipitation. In the Spencerport Village Plaza parking lot, water flowed to a depth of two feet at times. At one point, the underpass on Washington Street in Adams Basin had seven feet of standing water. Two families were evacuated from the area and a large section of the road had washed away. Salmon Creek in Hilton rose more than 7-1/2 feet higher than it ever had before, flooding the Hilton Fire Department and several homes and businesses. More than 5,600 homes were without power.
