Stanley sets sights on future youth center plans

Jill Stanley, new director of the Lakeland Youth Center in Syracuse, brings a lot of experience and innovation into her new position and is hoping they bring dividends to the Milford-Syracuse-North Webster area. These dividends are expected to cbme in the forms of gearing the centers programs more towards elementary age children and adults. States Stanley, “Since the schools in the area have such a fine program for junior and senior high students, why compete with them?” She presently plans to keep most of the current programs but sees expansion of these in the future. Other goals sought for the youth center include the setting up of a perceptual-motor program for kindergarten and first grade students, a gymnasticsclass that began Monday. June 11, for more than 100 second grade through children 12 years old, and the formation of some adult classes and activities such as a natural foods cooking course. Two major goals for the coming year are an adult softball program and the providing of playground opportunities for children in the Lakeland region. Mrs. Stanley has been very successful in organizing new programs and instituting fresh ideas that benefit a wide variety of persons. While in South Dakota in 1969-70. she helped set up an experimental program in conservation on an old missle site for two months. The goals of the project were attained so well that

JILL STANLEY the state adopted the program to further the project’s intended use. While teaching in Fort Wayne, she was instrumental in the formation and operation of a gymnastics and preceptualmotor program similar to the one she wishes to faction at the center. She has coached various sports both on the competitive and the non-competitive levels. Among these include track, basketball and swimming She has also sponsored various clubs and cheerleading squads. Maybe her biggest asset in taking over the youth center is the experience she acquired while working as a member of the Goshen Parks and Recreation team in 1975. Her main responsibility was being in charge of all

local playgrounds including the duties of hiring, firing, ordering supplies, plus the facets of planning and scheduling of activities. Mrs. Stanley has also taught sixth grade at Waterford Elementary in Goshen and prior to coming to Syracuse taught second grade at Millersburg for two years. Monthly report given by Hobbs Milford Town Marshal David Hobbs has released a summary of the activities of the Milford Police Department from May 14 through June 11.
