ren said.Stephen Burnett, ex-

ecutive director of theGreat Lakes Cruising Co-alition Inc., told howRochester is the first

port of call for cruiseships coming down the St.Lawrence Seaway.

We tend to think of acruise ship as a travelingbank vault, he said, not-ing the potential for peo-ple on cruise ships tospend time and money ina local community.

After the ribbon cut-ting, Warren led a mediatour of the Grande Mari-ner Great Lakes cruiseship, docked at the port.

Funding sources forthe project included pro-ceeds from the sale of theHemlock and Canadicelakes watershed to thestate, federal and stategrants, and the citys cap-ital improvement pro-gram.

Fifty-four of the boatslips in the marina are be-ing rented on a seasonalbasis, beginning at$2,800. Twenty-two slipshave already been rent-ed.

The remaining 30 slipsare rented on a short-term basis up to twoweeks.

The cost for the mari-na project is $22 million.Much of the excavatedslag from the marina has

been trucked to Lexing-ton Street, where it wasused to create a pad for asolar farm planned on a

former city-owned land-fill.

The marina was origi-nally scheduled to open inthe spring of 2015, but is-sues between the originalcontractor, The Pike Co.,and the city about soilconditions at the site, aswell as the cost and de-sign of the project,caused a parting of theways.

As a result, the cityhired Spencerport-based

Crane-Hogan to finish ex-cavating the basin.Related plans are in

the works for a private

developer to construct a10-story building with ahotel, condominiums andsome commercial spaceon what is now city-owned land.

The 129,000-square-foot building, located onvacant land at the south-east corner of Lake Ave-nue and Corrigan Street,will cost about $40 mil-lion.

The citys plans for thearea have drawn opposi-tion from some residentsin the group CharlotteStrong who questionedthe viability and site ofthe project.

Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochultold at Mondays ribboncutting how people are at-tracted to waterfrontareas.

There is going to be ahot spot in Rochester,

she said.JGOODMAN@

Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren listens as Lt. Gov. KathyHochul makes remarks Monday during the official unveilingof the Port of Rochester Marina.

The marina wasoriginally scheduled toopen in spring 2015, butissues between theoriginal contractor andthe city about soilconditions at the site,as well as the cost and

design of the project,forced the city to hireanother contractor.

Saturday and were takento Strong Memorial Hos-pital with injuries thatvaried from serious to mi-nor.

Page did not provideother information aboutthe family.

Trails in and aroundLower Falls remainedclosed Monday as StatePolice helicopters and the

agencys underwater re-covery team continued tosearch pools just belowLower Falls and othernearby areas in the river.

Weve got beautifulstate parks and theres somuch to enjoy, Page said,but we really need peo-ple to stay in authorizedareas for their own safe-ty.

The Genesee River, inthis portion of the statepark, is low, but the cur-rent is strong and rocksare covered with algae.Page noted that theres adefinite reason enteringthe water is off-limits.

The 22-mile-longstretch of the GeneseeRiver bisects the park,which is about 45 minutessouth of Rochester. Manyvisitors dont realize thatthe river has Class I andClass II rapids. ThroughAdventure CallsOutfitters, park guestscan take a seasonal raft-ing trip, but all raftersmust wear shoes and lifejackets.

People often dont re-spect the Genesee River,said Eric Eagan, co-foun-der of the eco-friendlytrail running club

#TrailsRoc, an avid hikerwho enjoys spending timein the park. The currentis fast on the river and

Lesli Myers told parentsvia letter on Monday.Preston attended theGinther School, for kin-dergartners and first-graders, and Dylan at-

tended the BarclaySchool along with otherBrockport second- andthird-graders.

The districts traumateam mobilized Monday,she said, and will providesupport and counseling tostudents in need through-out the week.

Our thoughts andprayers continue to bewith the family and allthose affected, Myerswrote in the letter.

In a statement re-leased late Monday, My-ers said: On behalf of theBrockport Central SchoolDistrict, we send ourdeepest condolences tothe Giangregorio familyand each individual im-pacted by this tragedy.Any loss of life is a loss toour entire community.

The group, an extend-ed family of two adultsand five children, wasplaying in the water whenone of the childrenslipped and fell. The fallcaused a ripple effectwhen others attempted toassist the child, causingthe whole group to be car-ried over the 55-foot falls.

Swimming in the riveris prohibited throughout

the park.Five people (two menand three girls) were re-covered from the water

people just dont realizeit.

Trails in state parksare designed and builtwith a users safety inmind. So when a hikertreks off-trail, theyretrampling in areas theyshouldnt be in, Eagansaid.

Signs are posted andsometimes people pass by

those signs thinkingtheyre doing little dam-age or viewing areas oth-ers havent gone. Butposted signs are there fora reason, he said.

There could be fragileplant life, poison ivy, beesnests or other wildlife anoff-trail hiker could dis-rupt, he said. Plus, someshrubs or brush could becovering up a hole orblocking a steep embank-ment.

Think Chimney BluffsState Park, where numer-ous offshoots haveemerged atop the famousBluff Trail. Follow one ofthem blindly and youllwalk right off a cliff.

If a hiker gets hurt af-ter leaving a designatedtrail, it becomes far hard-er for friends, park staffor police to find that in-jured and/or missing per-son.

Plus some trails likethe Finger Lakes Trailthroughout the state andthe Crescent Trail in Pe-rinton are on privateland. Landowners havegiven permission for pub-lic use of the path, but notfor people to venture offon their own.
