US! I I -m -jut -i Model of Hoyt-Potter House shows how It may have looked in 1890. Neighbor kids peek into history Hoyt-Potter House stages a preview By Carol Ritter Democrat and Chronicle Six fourth-graders from Nathaniel Rochester School sat attentively yesterday morning as some grownup speakers told them they would play an important role in the future of historic preservation. 1 The kids then followed a tour guide through the semi-renovated Hoyt-Potter House at 133 S. Fitz-hugh St to see what the Landmark Society of Western New York has in store for the 150-year-old building. "We saw a building that was falling apart, but we're gonna fix it up," said Tia Griffin, 10.

"They shouldn't wreck it so people that come here for field trips can see what it looked like in the olden days," said Amy Adriaansen, 9.

After nine years, Brady is back on track, happy to be alive.

"In the days ahead, you must concentrate on what you can do, not on what you cannot do. People with a disability are not less we simply face greater challenges."

"This is their neighborhood, too," he said. "These children are what the Landmark Society is all about They are our future." After the speeches ended, the children roamed through first-floor rooms in various states of restoration, then followed Education Coordinator Cindy Boyer down some new stairs into the vast basement Boyer led the group from a large room intended for meetings through the future library and into the old basement kitchen. She pointed out the tall, arched opening of the original fireplace, explaining that it will be covered over for safety reasons.

The campaign committee already has raised $1,212,000, or nearly 61 percent, of the $2 million goal, said chairman Arthur M. Holtzman. In addition to paying for renovations at the Hoyt-Potter House, the campaign aims to provide about $1 million for educational programs conducted by the society.

Jon L. Schumacher, one of five honorary chairmen for the drive, said exhibit space in the renovated house will help visitors, especially schoolchildren, learn about preservation activities. "Get 'em when they're young, that's what I believe," he said. "I think our educational programs are vitally important."

"I wanted her to be found but I didn't want to be accused of her death," Lane said. Lane led investigators to the body several days later. Under questioning from defense lawyer Wesley McDermott about "why she simply didn't tell the truth about her daughter's death, Lane said she didn't think those around her would believe her. "I've been blamed for things before with my family, friends and what not, so I just thought they'd think I was irresponsible," she said. Earlier yesterday, the 23rd and final prosecution witness, Tompkins County Corrections Officer Linda Edwards, testified to overhearing Lane describe her daughter's death to her boyfriend.

"Why couldn't she just lay down and go to sleep that night?" Edwards quoted Lane as saying.

Christine Lane, 23, testified as her defense began in Tompkins County Court that she began to call authorities after finding the body of 23-month-old Aliza May Bush. But she said she stopped "because I didn't think anyone would believe me that I found Aliza (dead) in her crib." During two weeks of testimony that ended yesterday morning, the prosecution produced several witnesses who said Aliza had not died by becoming entangled in her blankets and suffocating, as Lane says.

Lane said yesterday that she tried to give the child mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. "She was cold and she had blotches on her face that appeared to be blue," Lane said. "I knew that she was dead." After deciding not to report the child dead, Lane said she dressed the child's body and wrapped it in plastic bags and carried it across a riEv; ygiii Boy gets millions for forceps injuries NEWBURGH An Orange County jury has awarded $3.8 to a boy who suffered permanent physical and mental damage partly because doctors used forceps to deliver him 13 years ago.
