Walk! Bike! Brockport! Action Group is having a trail dedication ceremony to celebrate the completion of Sweden Town Park Trial. The ceremony will be held on Sunday June 3 at 3:00pm.

The trial is just over two miles long  and designed for walking, hiking, Nordic Walking, jogging, cross country skiing, and snowshoeing. The birth of the trail happened in 2009. In the Spring of 2010, members of the Walk! Bike! Brockport! Action Group with the assistance of the Town of Sweden Highway and Buildings and Grounds employees began the work of laying out the trail and installing the trail marker stakes. Trail use began by the end of that year.  During 2011, an Eagle Scout candidate constructed a foot bridge over a small stream so that people with disabilities could also use that part of the trail. Materials for the trail's stakes and signs were funded by the Walk! Bike! Brockport! Action Group and the Sweden Community Foundation.

President Obama has officially nominated Monroe County Court Judge Frank Geraci for a spot on the federal bench.

Geraci has been a county court judge for more than 13 years. He served a city court judge before that. Geraci is a McQuaid graduate, and once worked as an assistant district attorney.

President Obama calls Geraci highly qualified, and a valuable addition to the U.S. District Court in Western New York.

Geraci was recommended by Senator Chuck Schumer, whose nominee last year, former D.A. Mike Green, was never confirmed.
