Challenger Baseball is a division of Little League Baseball that brings together boys and girls ages 5 to 18 who are physically and/or mentally challenged. The games are structured to support the success of all players. Traditional rules are modified and the focus is always on having fun while learning the game of baseball. No score is kept, each player bats every inning, and everyone plays the entire game. Each player is assigned “buddies” who work to ensure safety and success. The Brockport Bisons Baseball teams have volunteered their time to assist as “buddies.” The enthusiasm and spirit that the Westside Chal-lenger Baseball player brings to the game is very infec-tious to “buddies” and fans alike. A record crowd attended Opening Day, supporting every hit and run by the Chal-lenger Baseball players. The players come from Brockport, Hamlin, Sweden,

Clarkson, Holley, Spencerport, Churchville, Greece, Kendall, Bergen, Medina, and Chili. Games are played at Nietopski Field at Sweden Town Park, through July 18 at 9:30 a.m. with exception of Saturday, June 20when the Westside Challenger Baseball players will travel to Frontier Field and participate in the 23rd Annual Chal-lenger Baseball World Series.

New Ogden Chief of Police

to be sworn-in June 10

by Kristina Gabalski

Sergeant Christopher Mears will be sworn-in during

the Ogden Town Board meeting Wednesday, June 10.

Mears is a 20-year veteran of the Police Department

and will replace Chief Douglas Nordquist who served

in the position for 11 years and with the Monroe Coun-

ty Sheriff ’s Offi ce for 30 years.

“I’m stepping into the biggest of shoes,” Sergeant

Mears says, “Chief Nordquist did a phenomenal job de-

veloping the culture at the police department. He’s a

hard person to follow.”

Sergeant Mears says Chief Nordquist brought every-

one in the department together and also brought the

department together with the community and with

other departments in the town.

“It’s hard to think about going into work and him not

being there,” Sergeant Mears says. “I’m really excited

to get started, but I will really miss Chief Nordquist.”

Sergeant Mears has spent most of his 20 years - 17

to be exact - working on the night shift and also served

as a K-9 offi cer for a couple of years, he says.

In 2009, he attended the FBI National Academy in

Quantico, Virginia, for ten weeks.

“It was one of the highlights of my career so far,”

Sergeant Mears says. The professional development

course included training in areas such as leadership,

communications, forensic science and even behavioral

science.

Chief Nordquist has been working with Sergeant

Mears to prepare him to step into the roll of chief.

“He has made me as ready as I can be,” Sergeant

Mears says. “I will be modeling Chief Nordquist’s be-

havior. He’s gotten me ready and I’m really excited to

get in there.”

Ogden Town Supervisor Gay Lenhard says she is con-

fi dent the community will be very receptive to Mears’

leadership and community involvement.

“I’m very excited about working with our new chief,

Chris Mears,” Supervisor Lenhard says. “I have known

him for the past 20 years and am impressed with his

devotion to our community. I know that he is anxious

to have the opportunity to interact with our residents

and business owners.”

Sergeant Mears says he has lived in the village the

entire time he has worked for the department and he

and his family feel very much a part of the community.

“I feel it’s an asset, I really do,” he observes about

knowing the people he serves both professionally and

personally. “It’s a big help, you see people as people. If

you know a person’s background you can be more fair.”

He notes that Ogden/Spencerport community is

known for the cooperation between both town and vil-

lage governments as well as the community’s emer-

gency services. “You would be hard-pressed to fi nd two

municipalities that work so well together,” he says.

He adds that he doesn’t plan any major changes to

the department. “The ship is sailing very well now,” he

the Ogden Town Board June 10.

says, but notes that law enforcement problems on the

national level will likely have an impact here at some

point. He foresees offi cers with body-worn cameras, for

example.“Video taping of police is a benefi t to both sides,” Ser-

geant Mears says. “It encourages law enforcement to

act more reasonably.”

He says the police department will continue to keep

close ties to the community with offi cers visible out-

side of patrol cars, walking the village and at various

events.“When they get out of their cars and talk to people,

everybody benefi ts,” Sergeant Mears says.

Hill School offers unique program for the academically talented

Mentor Frank Rakoski helps students Jacob Thomas (middle) and Hayden Watt to operate a robot display in the robotics lab. They were part of break-out sessions following an overview of the Hill School’s 2014-15 Academically Talented Program. Enrichment specialist Buck Noble led the presentation to parents and interested others at Hill School on May 5. Photo by Dianne Hickerson.

“I backed into teaching at Brockport,” Noble said. “I never thought I would ever be a teacher in my life.” He has loved it ever since. Asked about the high level of energy he demonstrates, Noble said, “It comes from the kids. There is just something magic; I can’t put it another way. They give it back to me.”

Buck NobleBrockport teacher

Meeting the needs of students who have passion to discover

by Doug Hickerson

The last image on the Power Point was Osama bin Laden. The presenters who had researched terrorism asked the ques-tion, “Is this the most dangerous man in the world?”

That presentation was on May 14, 1999 -- two years, three months, and 28 days before the 9/11 tragedy in New York City, planned and instigated by bin Laden.

The two researchers were not schol-ars in a think tank. They were two fifth grade students, Branden Hickey and Greg Strabel, in Brockport Hill School’s Academically Talented Program (ATP).

The two were curious and concerned about terrorism in the world and wanted to study it. They approached teacher Buck Noble who located three mentors to guide them: LTC Steven Hoffpauer in military science, Dr. Ray Duncan in political science, both at The College at Brockport, and an expert on counter terrorism in Washington whom they interviewed by email.

ATP projects usually conclude with some demonstration to an audience. For these two students the power point was presented to two honor global history classes at Brockport High School. The two captivated their bright older audience with their research.

What’s offered and expectedThe terrorism project is one example of what Buck Noble has been doing with

fourth and fifth grade students for the last 18 years as “enrichment specialist” in the Academically Talented Program (ATP) in Hill School. He encourages and enables curious young minds with a pas-sion to know more about something in their world. He locates appropriate expert mentor volunteers, carefully screened, to guide them in their quest.

Noble gives a presentation to all enter-ing fourth grade classes, introducing them to existing group projects they can join: rocks and minerals, engineering, math labs, and robotics. Then, he encourages students to propose their own project of interest. Other projects initiated by stu-dents, individually or in groups, include: blue bird houses, spiders, Veggie Nation, music, dance, chess, hospitality industry, woodwork, and frogs.

There are no formal academic prerequi-sites to join the ATP. The students must be doing well in their classes, be able to afford time out of class, and be responsible to make up work missed in class.

Mining for mentorsOne of Noble’s tasks is to locate appropri-ate mentors for the students’ projects. He uses all sorts of networking, social media, and sometimes, ads. Once mentors are as-signed, he works out the logistics of where and when to meet.

The mentors are well-qualified. They are often professionals in the field of interest, including professors at The Col-lege at Brockport, or well-accomplished practitioners. The 20 students in dance meet with a dance class in Hartwell Hall where the college dance students are their mentors. Noble himself mentors a group of 50 chess players every Monday from 7:30 to 9 a.m.

Frank Rakoski is the founding men-tor with whom Noble started the ATP program. Located through an ad 18 years ago, Rakoski, an electrical engineer, was about to retire after 30 years as a systems analyst with Kodak. He has since been a mentor in the robotics lab and the chess

club. He lives locally with his wife, Karen Rakoski, a mechanical engineer, who has mentored ATP students since 2006 in rocks and minerals and lapidary art. Noble has nominated the Rakoskis for recognition from the National Association for Gifted Children, for the quality of their work totaling 12,500 hours to date.

The demise of the labels“gifted” and “talented”Noble says that “Academically Talented” is a misnomer, but it’s a convenient title for the program. He says the terms “gifted” and “talented” have become emotionally and politically loaded for parents, teach-ers and administrators. About 20 years ago a more formal gifted and talented program in the district was scrapped in the controversy. Still seeing a need for many students not appropriately chal-lenged by the traditional curriculum, in 1997 BCSD administrators sent three teachers (including Noble as the new program leader) and two administrators to a two-week workshop at the University of Connecticut, the clearing house for all gifted and talented research, Noble said. “My conceptions about gifted and talented, and how to work with these kids, were blown out of the water!” Noble said. “I had a huge paradigm shift in my own mind about what this population of students is all about.”

Passion is primary, backed by skillsembedded in the learning standards“Research shows there is no standardized test for measuring giftedness for the K-6 population,” Noble said. It is a student’s passion for a particular area of learning or skill that drives him/her to high achieve-ment on that subject. Noble reminds his students that it is a healthy respect for the brain that is behind their gratifying learn-ing adventure. That reminder is summed up in a kind of humorous secret code he often uses when greeting students: “How’s your brain?”

Challenger Baseball is a division of Little League

Baseball that brings together boys and girls ages 5 to

18 who are physically and/or mentally challenged. The

games are structured to support the success of all players.

Traditional rules are modified and the focus is always

on having fun while learning the game of baseball. No

score is kept, each player bats every inning, and everyone

plays the entire game. Each player is assigned “buddies”

who work to ensure safety and success. The Brockport

Bisons Baseball teams have volunteered their time to

assist as “buddies.”

The enthusiasm and spirit that the Westside Chal-

lenger Baseball player brings to the game is very infec-

tious to “buddies” and fans alike. A record crowd attended

Opening Day, supporting every hit and run by the Chal-

lenger Baseball players.

The players come from Brockport, Hamlin, Sweden,

Clarkson, Holley, Spencerport, Churchville, Greece,

Kendall, Bergen, Medina, and Chili. Games are played

at Nietopski Field at Sweden Town Park, through July

18 at 9:30 a.m. with exception of Saturday, June 20when

the Westside Challenger Baseball players will travel to

Frontier Field and participate in the 23rd Annual Chal-

lenger Baseball World Series. There is no game scheduled

for Saturday, July 4. After each game, all players, bud-

dies and family members are treated to refreshments

and drinks.

There is no cost for any player to participate in West-

side Challenger Baseball and the program is completely

financed by donations from Reliant Community Credit

Union, Rochester Press-Radio Club, Brockport Wal-

Mart, Brockport Rotary Club, Brockport Lions Club,

Brockport Kiwanis Club, Kendall Lions Club, Rochester

ing Disabilities Associations, USA Ultimate Sports and

Spectators are welcome at Nietopski Field at the Swe-

den Town Park on a Saturday morning at 9:30 a.m. and

watch and cheer-on Westside Challenger Baseball.

Pauly tosses two-hitterfor Blue Devilsby Warren Kozireski

Michael Jamale and Riley Emmerson com-bined for six RBIs and senior Thomas Pauly tossed a two-hitter to help Brockport end their four game losing streak in a 12-0 victory over Spencerport in varsity baseball.

The Rangers defense kept the game close through the early innings as they turned a double-play to end a first-and-third threat in the first inning thanks to a scoop by first baseman Donald Eldridge. Brockport’s five run second inning could have been worse if not for a great backhand stop and throw home by shortstop Brandon Corey and a leap-against-the dugout-fence snag of a foul ball by Eldridge.

Cole Penders started the second inning rally for the Blue Devils with a leadoff single and went to second on a base hit by Austin Perry. Penders scored on Jamale’s double to left before Emmerson drove in a pair of runs with a single. Shaye Bartnick knocked in two more runs with a double down the left field line.

Brockport added a single run in the fourth as Tyler Talbot walked, stole second and went to third on an errant throw. Pauly helped his own cause with an RBI single to make it 6-0.

They scored three more in the fifth with a two-out rally started with a single by Zach-ary Maxon, who advanced to second on a wild pitch. Emmerson plated him with an RBI single before the Blue Devils scored another run on an error and the third on a double steal.

The final three runs came across in the sixth as Brandon LaMere singled and went to second on an error. Brenden McCauley had an RBI single and, after a base hit from Aus-tin Perry, Jamale drove in both with a double.

Meanwhile Pauly was in control on the mound throughout allowing only a first in-ning infield single by Josh Gillette and a two-out base hit by Chris Diguardi in the third. Aidan Eldridge was the only other base runner for the Rangers when he reached on an error in the fifth inning.

Pauly finished with nine strikeouts with no walks and did not allow a runner to advance past first base as Brockport picked up their sixth win of the season.
