Businesses would separate cardboard same, except that it will mean "more materials, a fuller blue box and putting it out every week maybe," said Paul Wendelgass, the county's solid waste administrator. All those materials would still go into one recycling container, Wendelgass said. If those containers get too full, the proposed regulations say up to 60 pounds of newspapers could be put out in paper bags. The county wanted to expand as much as possible what could be recycled under the proposed law. The big additions are new types of paper.

County legislators are holding five hearings on the proposed law, starting with one at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Penfield High School.

She voted for the proposal, al though she said she didn necessarily be- lieve the RIT site downtown was not is suitable site.

"There should have been a meeting to reject it by vote," Padilla said. "It doesn't jj allow those of us who are opposed to a decision to state for the record our concerns."

TURN TO PAGE 6B Now police in Fairport work nights Four sworn in for 1st late shift in 3 years By Steve Mills Democrat and Chronicle With village officials and relatives from as far away as Florida looking on, three police officers and a sergeant were sworn in V. yesterday to resume 24-hour patrols in i-Fairport.

The ceremonies at the village hall, on South Main Street, brought to a close near-' ly 3'2 years without an overnight police shift, a period many village residents said was marked by a significant increase in -crime. Standing before the three dozen people who attended the midafternoon ceremonies, Police Chief Joseph D. Picciotti Jr. -declared the swearing-in "truly a momen-" tous occasion" for village residents. "The officers being sworn in today really symbolize the democratic process," Pic-ciotti said.

Residents, led by Debra Tandoi, had. pressed the trustees to replace the Monroe County sheriffs deputies who had patrolled Fairport with their own officers, saying the two agencies working separate shifts were ineffective. Tandoi. who has lived in the village for seven years, said yesterday that the addi- tional officers should prevent crime in Fair-. port and give residents a greater sense of security.

Four generations of relatives spread out over the broad lawn of my cousin Roger's house, across the road from the place where my mother, her eight sisters and five brothers grew up. OVER THE YEARS we've had many reunions, but this latest one was somewhat more subdued than the rest Sad things are happening in our clan. It was a funeral that last brought us together a few months ago to mourn the death of my Aunt Amber.

She was the first to go of the 13 Pecks who had reached adulthood. One other sister died in her teens of blood poisoning about 60 years ago. In this huge family blessed with remarkable health, stability and good fortune over the years, it was easy for many of us to imagine that we would go on and on without much change. But of course we knew better, and Aunt Amber's death proved that we must not take each other for granted. So Sunday we gathered to remember Aunt Amber, to pray for her and others in the family who have struggled lately with ill health and the consequences of aging, and to gratefully reinforce the bonds that keep us close.

IT WAS FITTING that we should do all this at the familiar old homestead. The house where my grandparents nurtured their huge brood is gone now, its foundation overgrown with shrubbery and weeds. Across the lawn is the smaller house built by my Uncle Nathan and his family after a speeding car 20 years ago hit the old house, where they had been living, and knocked it off its foundation. In my childhood, our reunions often took place under the tall trees in that big yard. We grandchildren liked to clamber up into the low spreading branches of an old apricot tree to giggle and snack on crunchy unripe fruit From our vantage point, we could watch as the grownups set out an array of dishes to pass and arranged seating planks on upended sections of logs.

With our feast we drank cold fresh lemonade dipped out of heavy steel milk cans. For dessert, there was always ice cream scooped into cones by one of the uncles. Later, we'd crowd into the old carriage house to watch my Uncle Dean's latest family movies projected on a white bedaheet stretched across a wall. GRANDPA AND GRANDMA Peck presided over these gatherings as the family added new in-laws and two more generations of offspring. My grandfather, C.

Sealey Peck, was 83 when he died in 1963. When Grandma Ina May Peck died in 1979, she was survived by 102 direct descendants. Back at the old place last Sunday, we took off in small intergenerational bunches to wander along the lanes and through the fields our family has known and loved so long and so well. My group climbed to the highest hilltop on the property, where we could turn and look far across the rippling fields to a cluster of trees marking the site of the old house and barn. Going back, we walked past the spot where that apricot tree once stood and followed the old sidewalk to its end at the edge of the house foundation.

My Uncle Everett poked around in some thick vines nearby and discovered the ancient hand pump that had supplied the household drinking water. The handle squeaked as he lifted it and in seconds the pump gushed forth a stream of cold water from the welL We all walked back to rejoin the others, wrapped in the warmth of a summer afternoon and shared memories. WE LINGERED over a card table that held a pile of photographs and snapshots, newspaper clippings and magazine articles capturing moments in the lives of all these aunts and uncles and cousins. I showed my daughter a family portrait taken in 1945: a cluster of handsome young men and women surrounding their parents, and me, not quite 4, sitting with the other little grandchildren. These are my people.

With all our quirks and foibles, we are no more or less perfect than any other family. But time has been kind to us, and we know it We are grateful for the favor. And as long as someone in our line continues to own that place where all our roots are so firmly anchored, we can go home again.

But that tradition may change when this year's two-day festival gets under way today. The National Weather Service has forecast blue skies and a high of 80 degrees for today. For tomorrow, it predicts some clouds and a high of 85, with a 30 percent chance of rain. Julia Garver, president of the Corn Hill Neighbors' Association, predicted that the weather will draw a large number of people.
