SPOTLIGHT BULLYING | By Melody Burri, Staff writer
F
ormer honor roll student
Kyle Hook recalls his
stormy high school years
with unflinching resolve.
No one ever believed what
I said, other than my parents,
he said.
And although memories of
being bullied at school are
still fresh, his vision for the
future is crystal clear.
Im victorious; you did not
destroy me, said the 24-year-
old graduate of Victor High
School and New Yorks French
Culinary Institute in a recent
interview with Messenger
Post Media.
These days Hook can be
found mountain climbing in
the Adirondacks and hopes to
one day open his own rock-
climbing gym. For now, hes
launching a new business lo-
cally Sweete Revenge Bak-
ing Company, which bears a
personal slogan: Bake love,
not war.
All my friends welcome
everybody, as long as youre re-
spectful to other people. Thats
our requirement be yourself,
be respectful to everyone else.
Spurred on by the Novem-
ber suicide of 14-year-old
Spencerport freshman
Cameron DeVeronica, be-
lieved by some to be bullying-
related, Hook feels strongly
about being an advocate on
behalf of bullying victims.
Recently he shared his
thoughts on bullying, over-
coming trauma and his fu-
ture.

Q&A: WITH BULLYING SURVIVOR KYLE HOOK Continued from page 5
When did you first experience
bullying?
It started literally the day I walked into
school (after moving into the community
in 2001). I was 14. And from there on out,
it was downhill. I would walk down the hall
and get punched by random people. I did-
nt report half of the things that happened
to me. (I thought), theyre not going to
listen to me anyway, so whats the point?
I wasnt very big back then, and these kids
were all bigger than me, so you have to be
a little dog with a big bark to try and pro-
tect yourself. Then every time I would
bark loud, Id get in trouble for it. I was
doing terrible in school, and I kept falling
asleep in class because I couldnt sleep at
night. The death threats didnt start until
ninth grade, and then they specifically
picked out my dog, because my dog is my
best friend. By 11th grade I guess I got
more respect, because at that point, I
started bulking up and people stopped. It
wasnt worth their time anymore, and I
was such a hot head.
How did your experience affect your
family?
I guess that it hurt them because they
didnt know what to do, and I didnt
know what to do, and I felt bad that I
was putting it on them. I consider
myself to be a really strong person, but
when this happened, it completely took
me down. It was as embarrassing as
hell. I really didnt want to tell anyone
ever. Thats why I didnt tell them for so
long eight or nine months. But it
brought us all together. It ended up
making us closer.
In your opinion, why do some kids
become bullies?
I honestly feel like its the way were rais-
ing our children. The person who is bully-
ing somebody is generally the person
who is the most insecure out of all the
people. And they have a group of people
who are, for some reason, willing to follow
them. So they go around and find people
who are strong, or weak, and easy to pick
out of the crowd, and they make them-
selves feel bigger because of it. In my
case, it wasnt because I was the nerd. I
was just the new kid.
How has your experience changed
you?
They really took away my childhood. They
changed who I was. I was the worst kind
of person. I became one of them before I
got better, because thats what happens.
You go from being bullied to, OK, Im not
being bullied anymore, and now Im on a
power trip. I was looking for a fight at
every turn. That was just the total, total
wrong way. High school is not everything.
High school ends, and then life gets bet-
ter.
What advice would you give to some-
one who is being bullied?
Find something you love to do and make
it your life. Try to better yourself. Try to
make something of yourself. Rock climb-
ing is my life. Its made me a more confi-
dent person. I want to show kids who are
being bullied, who think they are nothing,
that you can become strong. Its up to
you.
What would you say to the
parents of bullies?
Parents are the ones who are the most
responsible for whats happening. So
raise your kid with some respect it
starts in the home. Chances are if he
doesnt respect you, hes not going to
respect anybody else.... Take interest in
what theyre doing, and punish them
when theyve done wrong.

WHERE IT STANDS Melody Burri | Staff Writer
Work continues at intersection
The problem
Workers were at the accident-plagued intersection ear-
lier this week, continuing efforts to install a three-color
signal light that could be operational by the end of the
month. But, residents and town officials are frustrated
at how long its taken to even get to this point. The
state Department of Transportation had planned to
start the project two years ago, Farmington Supervisor
Ted Fafinski said, but work was scrapped because of
budget constraints. Into the fall last year, workers were
doing infrastructure work at the corner, but to date:
No light yet, Fafinski said. Absolutely, this is a dan-
gerous intersection.

workers were doing infrastructure work at the corner,
but to date: No light yet, Fafinski said. Absolutely,
this is a dangerous intersection.
Whats next
Whether a signal light help ease the number of acci-
dents is up for debate. At least in the beginning, many
motorists used to cruising along Route 96 may be sur-
prised at the change in traffic pattern, Fafinski said.
Motorists traveling the state route now have a flashing
yellow light; drivers on County Road 28 are supposed
to stop at the flashing red. Also, a hill obstructs the
view for drivers, Angell said. She suggested a reduction
in the speed limit, to 40 mph, as part of a safety effort.
I dont want to have to move, but the reality is so
scary, Angell said. The best option may be for drivers
to pay attention and drive safe.

W
hen a high school
wrestler steps onto the
mat, its just him and
his opponent. There are no oth-
er people or factors to worry
about.
Thats not the case for
Canandaiguas Andrew Belding.
The senior, who was diagnosed
with Type 1 diabetes at age 12,
can be negatively affected by ab-
normal blood sugar levels on the
mat.
He just had the flu for a week-
end, but he got really sick, so we
took him to Thompson Hospital
and they ran tests on him,
checked his blood sugar and it
was almost 900, Andrews fa-
ther Richard Belding said. They
ended up having to take him up
to Strong [Memorial Hospital]
to get his sugar down.
Since then, Andrew has need-
ed to keep a close watch on his
blood sugar levels throughout
the day and use insulin to keep
it where it needs to be.
However, his blood sugar isnt
easy to control for matches. An-
drew thinks the adrenaline and
nerves that come before
wrestling can cause his blood
sugar to spike.

A
great book might open with an un-
eventful 100 pages of exposition. It
might be a brief history of the
town the novel is set in, the narrators te-
dious self-analysis, or a verbose descrip-
tion of a house. Reading thoughtful
books, especially at the outset, can seem
less like leisure and more like work.
Well, it is work. It can be an immersive
and satisfying job, but accessing the real
power of thought and emotion behind the
text is definitely work. Translating letters
and words into sounds sentences is sim-
ply decoding. To really read, students have
to learn to seek meaning.
Why is that part funny? seems like a
simple question, but think of the many
things a reader must do to be able to an-
swer it. Besides being able to keep track
of salient plot points, the reader must judge
character traits and gauge the tone of voice
used in a passage. These tasks and others
must be performed in concert to detect hy-
perbole, or even irony, in order to recog-
nize that a series of letters printed on pa-
per is, in fact, funny.
Its easy to see how this kind of analy-
sis could suck the humor out of any pas-
sage, which means that, in order for it to
actually be funny, all of these feats must
be accomplished involuntarily. Discern-
ing any meaning contained in a book, be-
sides just humor, demands a wide-rang-
ing skill set. More than that, if the mean-
ing of a book is to achieve its intended im-
pact, the reader must be so adept at this
skill set that employing it becomes second
nature.

THINGS WE WANT TO SEE
HAPPEN NEXT WEEK
1. Tax Resolution pass
Small businesses employ millions of people in the state,
but too many of those small business owners struggle
with the high cost taxes and health-care costs come
to mind of doing business in New York.
2. Local business owners meet
Schapp makes soap in her Canadice kitchen. She and
son Ben Kajfasz and his wife, Leah, started the project
out of necessity: They wanted to live a more wholesome
lifestyle. One way, they found, was cutting out chemicals,
and they hit upon the idea of using and making veg-
etable oil- and goats milk-based soap products.
3. Park opening ceremony
While this is the specific incident that the court is review-
ing, it is seen as a gauge as to whether or not the FCC
can levy massive fines on networks for what is common-
ly seen as an arbitrary and inconsistent decency stan-
dard for network television.

Hydrofracking questions
GUEST ESSAY
I have been following the con-
troversy surrounding the
process of natural gas extrac-
tion known as hydrofracking.
The first exposure was attend-
ing the symposium at Finger
Lakes Community College this
past April. I have seen the
movies, listened to the lake
watchers and what the gas com-
panies had to say in October at
the school. Quite frankly, it
scares the hell out of me.
This horizontal drilling
method is still in its infancy and
the drillers have yet to get a han-
dle on it.
Glad to see DEC revisit their
document, the nation is watch-
ing to see how Albany is going to
address this process. Let us all
hope the DEC is watching and
listening to what is going on in
the rest of the country and does
a better job at controlling the
drillers and their impacts.
There is a lot of hearsay and a
lot of questions. Has the avail-
able quantity of gas been overes-
timated or underestimated? Is
the gas company interested in
the Marcellus or the Utica Shale
formation? Are they polluting
the environment at every pad or
are there only one or two bad
wells? Is this the bridge fuel for
the country for the next 20 years
or is this gas to be piped to the
East Coast to be shipped off
shore? Are the drill cuttings
from the bore holes more ra-
dioactive than ambient readings
or not?
The promise of enough jobs to
turn the economy around; the
potential draining of local bodies
of water to supply the millions of
gallons required for the toxic
brew of slickwater for each well;
the dust, noise, off-gases and
truck traffic to be generated by
each drill pad are all food for
thought.
Bottom line for New Yorkers:
Certain areas of the state have
banned fracking, and the New
York City and Syracuse water-
sheds and state-owned lands
are protected. Why not the wa-
tersheds of all the Finger
Lakes? Right here in the Great
Lakes Basin is 25 percent of the
worlds available fresh water.
Agriculture and tourism are
the two largest economic en-
gines in the state. I do not be-
lieve, for one minute, that the
aforementioned will mix any
better than oil and water.

Although she could not attend per-
sonally, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand
sent a letter of support for the pro-
gram.
One of the purposes of this presen-
tation is to stress the importance of
elective programs, such as leadership,
which might be eliminated next year
because of funding cuts, and the
importance of funding Teaching
Centers which provide professional
development to our areas faculty
members. This is a follow-up activity
to the GRTCNs book study of
Teaching with Poverty in Mind.
GRTCN Directors and other guests
will be invited to deliver snack packs

ficient workspace. The project showcas-
es state-of-the-art yet viable green
building technologies, including high-
efficiency boilers and chillers that use
40 percent less energy than code mini-
mum. This is the second building that
the IBC has been honored for and it is
being reviewed for a Leadership in En-
ergy and Environmental Design Plat-
inum certificate. Only four buildings in
N.Y. have this honor and one of those
was created by the IBC, Rochester Insti-

said in a statement on the
district website Monday
that the combining of ath-
letic teams doesnt offer
significant cost savings
for either district. Howev-
er, it left open the door to
other cost-saving ideas,
either through athletics
or other programs.
The Naples announce-
ment didnt stop Marcus

the idea to the Whitman
