G O N E BY

From the smell of suntan lotion or the taste of an ice cream sandwich to the
twinkling of fireflies in the night sky, the sights, smells and sounds of summer can bring
childhood memories flooding back. Here are some favorite little pleasures that take us back to childhood.

What makes me think of summer is the smell of cut grass, the taste
of cherry snow cones and the sound of locusts in the evenings
and a fabulous coral pedicure!
Pamela Lutrell
Over 50 Feeling 40 blogger www.over50feeling40.com
As soon as it begins to get hot, my taste buds are on alert. Its ice
cream sandwich time. Vanilla ice cream encased in chocolate, only
sold at the swimming pool (or so my mother told me). And, you had
to eat it fast, before it melted all over your wet fingers. Yum.
Dr. Margaret Rutherford
clinical psychologist and blogger, Fayetteville, Arkansas
Watching lightning bugs (fireflies) drifting up into the trees, reminds
me of summer evenings running barefoot through the grass with
the neighborhood kids. Wed catch the lightning bugs in our hands,
then deposit them into a jar filled with grass and closed off by a lid
with holes poked into it. Later, wed empty the jar, allowing the bugs
to fly off into the night.
Donna L. Hull
author of My Itchy Travel Feet, The Baby Boomers Guide to Travel
Going to the beach reminds me of going to Jones Beach with my
cousins and riding the enormous waves, fearlessly.
Nancy K. Schlossberg, author, forthcoming book, Too Young to be Old
Creating pop bead necklaces and bracelets in the shade between
our houses with girlfriends. Setting up blanket tents over the
clotheslines in our backyards. Leaving the house in the morning on
our bikes with lunches and returning home for dinner.
Dr. Patricia Ann Braun
professor of education, Benedictine University at Springfield, Illinois
My favorite memories of summer are the sounds you hear
walking to the pool. Blocks away you begin to hear the sound of
happy children splashing and lifeguards blowing whistles!
You can always hear it before you see it and it always brings a
smile.
Stephanie Miles
AARP vice president of member value benefits, products and services
Whenever I see people watering their lawns during the summer
(in cities that dont have water shortages) I think of my dad
setting up the sprinkler in our small backyard so we could cool
off on unbearably hot summer days. This was before we had air
conditioners in our bedrooms. Wed play games with the water, as
the vibrating sprinkler sent it flying in different directions.
Geri Brin, founder, faboverfifty.com
Playing Barbies in the shade of a weeping willow. Producing (and
starring) in plays on the neighbors raised front porch. Playing
jacks with my sister for hours. Participating in the public library
reading program. Riding my bike to my school where I could hit
tennis balls against the wall for practice. Doing tricks on my bike.
Tammy Potts, literacy coordinator,
DuPage County, Illinois, Regional Office of Education
Although I havent used sunscreen in 50 years, the smell of
Coppertone always reminds me of the Jersey shore. After hours
in the ocean at Jones Beach, Long Island or in Asbury Park, New
Jersey, I used to lie facedown on my beach towel, baking in the
late afternoon sun, and listening to the intermingling sounds of
the kids playing, the adults talking, families packing up to leave
and the waves crashing. The sounds and smells of the beach, any
beach, always take me back to my childhood.
Beryl Bender Birch
author, Power Yoga, Boomer Yoga and Yoga for Warriors

One of the first things I think of is the old ice cream trucks that used
to slowly rumble down a quiet neighborhood street, blaring a tinkly
jungle that announced their presence. Of course all of us kids ran
home as fast as possible to beg some small change from Mom, so we
could stand in line and order a nice icy cold Popsicle.
Anne Holmes
boomer in chief, National Association of Baby Boomer Women
I was a real bookworm when I was a kid. I loved nothing better
than curling up with one of my favorite mystery authors Nancy
Drew, Agatha Christie, I loved them all and summer was the only
free time I had to enjoy them! And if I had a glass of lemonade
handy, that was even sweeter!

[1964]
OPENS JULY 8TH
ARTICLE SUBMITTED BY THE ONTARIO COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY
In 1964, the average cost of a new home was $13,000. Average yearly income was about $6,000. A gallon of gas was 30 cents
and a loaf of bread, 21 cents. It cost a nickel to send a letter across the country and a new 1964 Mustang would set you back $2,300.
You played with your GI Joe, Rock em Sock em Robots, Barbie and Skipper and everybody had some item related to the Beatles.
The Cleveland Browns were NFL Champions and the Buffalo Bills were AFL Champions!

Do you remember 1964? The miniature replications in the

collage above represent just a fraction of the incredible
images youll see in full size color at the 1964 Exhibit
at the Ontario County Historical Society, 55, North Main
Street, Canandaigua opening July 8th.

July 8th marks the opening of an historic and nostalgic exhibit
at the Ontario County Historical Society, 55 North Main Street in
Canandaigua. Based on a remarkable 1964 aerial picture found at
the Canandaigua Daily Messenger, 1964 shows the citys incredible
transformation to the present with a tragic and unbelievable 50
plus buildings missing since that picture was taken.
Visitors will see that now famous picture showing all the missing
buildings side by side with a 2017 drone replication. Along with
the main pictures, mini-exhibits will feature all the iconic missing
buildings like Arrowhead Lanes, The Playhouse, Montesanos,
the Pickering Hotel, the Lumber Yard, The Grieve Building, the
Wesleyan Methodist Church and many more.
What was their history and what happened to them? Over 30 door-
sized panels, a 13-foot wall hanging of the Winship/Gleasons fire
presented by the Canandaigua Fire Department, a lighted marquee
of the Playhouse are just a sample of the historic portions.
It wouldnt be 1964 without those cultural features of the time.
Sit down in the early 60s mini-kitchen and read 1964 Life, Look and
Post magazines at the table. Watch seven different 1964 videos
including a Wilmer and the Dukes/Arrowhead Lanes tribute, 1964
car and toy commercials, 1964 Johnson/Goldwater political ads,
cigarette commercials that will astound your kids and grandkids,
the #1 hit tunes of '64 and more.
Watch the large screen drone presentation of Canandaigua. See
the technology of the times transistor and clock radios, black
and white TVs and dial phones presented by the world acclaimed
Antique Wireless Museum in Bloomfield. Let your kids and
grandkids play a record on a portable record player or pick up a
phone and experience a party line. Of course, exhibits will include
ephemera and objects of the time.
Since its 1964, see the 1964 Canandaigua Interactive Class
Corner where people who actually experienced 64 can leave
messages and communicate with each other or kids can leave
grandma and grandpa a message.
Its the perfect family outing. Bring your kids and grandkids and
show them what growing up was like in such a wonderful place.
Admission is free but donations are very much appreciated. And
if you missed it, the Woman Suffrage exhibit will be running
simultaneously in the South Gallery.
1964 is brought to you in part by the Daily Messenger,
Canandaigua National Bank, Graywolff Productions, the Rotary
Club of Canandaigua and the Antique Wireless Museum in
Bloomfield.
So, Put a Tiger in Your Tank and get to the Ontario County
Historical Society, July 8th through the end of the year.

SUMMER-SPECIFIC HEALTH TIPS
BY MELISSA ERICKSON | MORE CONTENT NOW

Summer finds us all spending more time outdoors and that often includes our pets. Be wary that summer fun
exposes your dog or cat to heat and health hazards.Enjoy the summer and get outside with your pets, said
veterinarian Edward Schettino, vice president of animal welfare and veterinary services for the Animal Rescue
League of Boston. Make sure they are protected. It is safer for your pets and safer for your entire family.
Talk to your vet to find out which diseases your pet should be protected against and come up with a plan together.
of oral and topical medications make these medical issues 100
percent preventable. You should talk to your veterinarian to find
out which preventative is best for your pet and your specific needs.
Prescription preventatives are generally safer and more effective
than over-the-counter; again, you should speak with your veteri-
narian, Schettino said.
CHEMICALS
When it comes to weed killers or pest maintenance in your yard, it
is better to err on the side of caution. If you use a yard service you
should let them know what type of pets you have and ask them for
their recommendations. If you do it yourself, read the label carefully
and store the containers safely away from your pets.

HEAT
When pets spend more time outdoors they are more prone to
infectious disease, being hit by cars and sports injuries, Schettino
said. Pets are also at risk for heat stroke. Be aware of the signs of
heat stroke, including excessive panting, dark or bright red tongue,
sticky or dry tongue, staggering or stupor, and seek veterinary at-
tention immediately.
And please dont leave your pet in your car unattended. Dogs
can die of heat stroke within minutes, Schettino said. Even with
the temperature outside around 70 degrees, it can get above 100
degrees in the car. If you see a dog in a car unattended, please alert
your local police or fire department. The dogs life can depend on it.
PESTS
While bug bites are a pain for people, for dogs and cats theyre
more than just bothersome. Ticks, fleas and mosquitoes not only
cause skin irritations but also transmit diseases to both dogs and
cats, Schettino said. Depending on where you live in the country,
different diseases are more common. Some of these vector-borne
diseases can be life-threatening if medical care is not sought after
symptoms develop.
Dogs and cats should be protected from fleas, ticks, mosquitoes and
intestinal parasites such as roundworms, whipworms, hookworms
and coccidia. Some of these intestinal parasites can be transmitted
to humans. Mosquitoes transmit heartworm disease to dogs and
cats and can be fatal. Fleas transmit a variety of blood-borne diseases

Cracker Box Palace
Farm Animal Haven
P.O. Box 174, Alton
About 300 acres of the farm are woods
crossed by creeks, 108 acres of orchards
and over 100 acres of crops and hayfields
that make up the beauty they call home.
When Cracker Box decided in 2009 to
purchase the farm, they also took on
the preservation of the land. They met
with the Department of Conservation to
develop a forestry plan and it was then
partnered with Genesee Land Trust to put
in place an easement that would protect
the land and farm for the future to remain
just as it is now. Events are offered in
the woods and land for tours, horseback
trail riding events, hiking, snowshoeing
and camping. Genesee Land Trust also
offers walks and hikes throughout
the year. www.geneseelandtrust.org,

ERIE CANAL
The New York State Canal System is
not only rich in history, but also culture.
From its inception, the canal helped
form a whole new culture revolving
around canal life. At one time, more than
50,000 people depended on the canal
for their livelihood. As the population
grew and the transportation waterway
prospered, packet boats and passenger
vessels, traveled from town to town.
Entertainment was prevalent and
families would often meet each year, at
the same locations, to share stories and
adventures...just as they do today.
The Erie Canal is a major attraction
and recreational resource. The canal
had a huge impact on its surrounding
villages, providing inexpensive and easy
transportation of goods, which allowed
agriculture and industry to develop. Local
museums depict the Era of the Erie.
Many exhibits and remnants of the old
canal are plentiful throughout the area.
Today, the canal is still filled with pleasure
boats, fishermen, visitors, and wildlife.
Cyclists, runners and walkers enjoy the
towpaths, their natural beauty and
their history. Culture still abounds along
its banks with many events that are
cherished in many communities today.
The canal provides recreation for the
whole family. Whether you fish, boat,
canoe, kayak, hike or bike miles of canal
are waiting for you. Modern facilities such
as marinas, hiking and biking paths, and
canalside parks make your experience a
pleasant one.
The Canal Way Trail System offers miles
of scenic trails and numerous parks for
hiking, biking and cross-country skiing.
Enjoy wildlife viewing along miles of
green and tranquil trails that line New
Yorks canals. The trail system includes
more than 150 miles of exiting trails
comprised of four major trail segments:
The Erie Canal Heritage Trail, Old Erie
Canal State Park, Mohawk-Hudson
Bikeway and the Glens Falls Feeder
Canal Trail. For more information visit
www.canals.ny.gov.
Erie Canals 193rd Opening
Festivals and events kick off
The Erie Canalway National Heritage
Corridor and the NYS Canal Corporation
have teamed up to sponsor 28 festivals
and events to showcase the heritage of
the Canalway Corridor and the recreational
appeal of the waterway and trails today.
Events include cycling and paddling
tours, canal festivals and concerts at the
waterfront. Sponsored events are just a
few of the more than 400 events that take
place each year along New Yorks canals.
The Erie Canalway National Heritage
Corridor and the NYS Canal Corporation
are proud to partner with communities
and organizations to ensure a lively and
fun season along the canal. Now through
fall, these events offer great ways for
people to explore and enjoy the canal.
Events are a significant contributor to
the $380 million in economic impact
generated annually by canal-related
tourism. This investment in event
sponsorships is expected to be matched
nearly 10 to 1 by local sponsors and
attract 64,000 people.
The world-class festivals and sporting
events held on the canals attract
thousands of visitors to upstate New
York and are a boon to local economies.
From mariners and cyclists to food and
wine enthusiasts, there is something for
everyone to enjoy this season.

[DISCOVER BOATING]
Many Americans feel the effects of a long winter but now it's
finally time to plan for summer fun. Boating is a popular American
pastime, with an estimated 88.5 million Americans getting on the
water each year, according to the National Marine Manufacturers
Association. What's more, boating is close to home with 90 percent
of Americans living within an hour's drive of a lake, river or ocean
perfect for boating.
"The reality is there's a boat for every budget and for boaters, being
on the water creates priceless experiences whether it's fishing,
watersports, sailing, personal watercraft or cruising, spending
time on the water with family and friends creates memories for a
lifetime," says Carl Blackwell, president of Discover Boating. "Being
an avid boater, I know how accessible it can be and how important
it is to do your research to figure out what kind of boat fits your
budget and lifestyle. One of the best kept secrets is how to get on
the water without owning a boat consider it research since it
gets you on your way to becoming a boater before you own one."
DiscoverBoating.com has four budget-friendly ways to get your
feet wet this summer:
Join the club: Boat clubs are one of the best ways to experience the
boating lifestyle. There are many boating clubs and organizations
in the area that offer everything from sailing to powerboating
and watersports. Members receive access to a fleet of boats for
use, plus clubs usually provide maintenance, storage and boating
education. Find a club near you using the boat club finder.
Get schooled: Boating schools and courses are a great way to
take the helm and learn the rules of the water. Hone your sailing or
powerboating skills by learning the basics in boat operation and
have fun in the process. Check out a list of courses and find one
that floats your boat close to home.
Test the waters: Rental options have come a long way with hourly
or daily rentals to peer-to-peer options making boating even
more accessible. Boat renters can now rent directly through boat
owners, creating an affordable way to use privately-owned boats
equipped with amenities from insurance to boating education.
Another popular option is fractional ownership, similar to lodging
timeshares, where members can pre-schedule use of the boat
online, and week-long charters that let you fully experience the
boating lifestyle.
Climb aboard: Looking to captain your own vessel? There's a boat
out there for every budget, interest and body of water. Use the
Discover Boating boat selector tool to narrow down the search
for everything from price to number of passengers to boating
activities and more. The tool matches you with boats that fit your
needs, so you can do your homework and have a head start on
shopping.
This summer, don't get left on the dock and take advantage of the
warmer weather aboard a boat. Whether curious about boating or
looking into ownership, explore opportunities to get your feet wet
and experience the fun of life on the water. [BPT]

artistry, craftworks and entrepreneurship can also be found. Theaters, music, and a variety
of museums showcase local culture.
Internationally recognized, and voted the most beautiful wine region in the world by
Budget Travel magazines 2010 Readers Choice Awards, the wine trails are open year-
round for tasting and touring. According to newyorkwinerytours.com, New York is the
nations second largest producer of wine, and the Finger Lakes region has some of the
finest vineyards. This acclaim shows in their award-winning wines that you can sample

Honeoye Lake V I S I T H I S TO R I C
BLOOMFIELD
Modern fisheries management at Honeoye Lake began with the placement of seasons,
bag limits and size limits on gamefish. Records indicate that Honeoye was first stocked
with walleye around the turn-of-the-century. Today, the co-dominant sport species are
walleye, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass and chain pickerel with walleye the only
species stocked (8.7 million fry annually) into the lake by the DEC.
Honeoye is a highly regarded fishing lake. In addition to its excellent sportfish
opportunities, the lake also supports an outstanding panfish fishery for bluegill,
pumpkinseed, yellow perch and black crappie. Current management emphasis for the
lake is to maintain a relatively high density of predator species, to control the abundant
panfish and newly established alewife populations. Periodic fishery surveys are conducted
to monitor fish populations. An ongoing angler diary cooperator program for sportfish
provides DEC fisheries staff with useful data on population trends.
Public access sites include the Honeoye Lake Public Boat Launch, located at the SE corner
of the lake off East Lake Road. There is parking for 30 cars with trailers and is operated by
the office of the Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. Winter maintenance allows
for ice fishing access. Sandy Bottom Beach launching is available for small trailered boats,
cartops and canoes off Sandy Bottom Road, at the NW corner of the lake. Lakeside parking
allows for about 6 cars. There is additional parking near the baseball diamond. Operated
by the Town of Richmond. Winter maintenance allows for ice fishing access.

51st Anniversary Phelps Sauerkraut Festival

FRIDAY-SUNDAY, AUGUST 4-6 PHELPS FIREMEN'S FIELD ONTARIO STREET PHELPS
The Phelps Sauerkraut Weekend is supported by many community organizations including
the fire department, chamber and the American Legion. Everyone is working diligently to
bring exciting events and old festival favorites to the community of Phelps! The weekend
promises something for everyone!
Although sauerkraut is commonly associated with Germany, Phelpswas one of the worlds
largest producers of the fermented, sour-tasting cabbage. Sauerkraut Weekend proves the
towns passion for the topping with creative recipe contests, kraut-eating contest and a
silly contest where you decorate a cabbage head. Even when the cabbage isnt in kraut
form, they still find ways to have fun with it. Cabbage car racing and a massive parade are
only just the beginning of this proud tradition.
The Phelps Sauerkraut Festival began in 1967 with a one-day program (home of Silver
Floss Sauerkraut). The Chamber started the festival because Phelps was one of the largest
producers in the world. Eventually, the community took over the various aspects of this
festival with the support of the Silver Floss Sauerkraut Company (now Great Lakes Kraut
Company a part of Agrilink, Inc.) and Birds Eye Foods. 2013 saw the reformation of
the committee. Again composed of community organizations, they expanded the festival
into a village-wide four day event which includes the Mustang Rally of the Finger Lakes
at the community center, Arts in the Park in Methodist Memorial Park, the downtown
Public Market Place, events at the American Legion, and Ontario Street carnival rides and
community booths. The Seneca Sauerkraut Factory, located at the west end of Main Street,
was sold to Seneca Foods of Waterloo and the building was demolished in December 1994.
The Silver Floss/Empire State Pickling Company, located on Eagle Street in Phelps was sold
to Curtis-Burns Inc. of Rochester in September 1965. It was then sold to Comstock Foods.
Canning ended in 1985, but cutting continued in Phelps and eventually went to Shortsville
and Gorham. For more information visit phelpsny.com/sauerkraut-weekend.

Its exciting to fill garden rows with seedlings
each spring that we often forget if all goes
well, our backyard garden will probably grow
more vegetables than we can eat! Here are
some tips to unload your extra produce:
Donate to local food banks. Not all food
banks are set up to accept and distribute
perishable food. Call around to find one that
can make use of your garden excess. It's a
great feeling to know your extras will go to
families who need it.
Sell at the farmers market. Search
around for markets that welcome home
gardeners with bumper crops.
Set up a swap with other gardeners.
Check around early in the season to get an
idea of which friends and neighbors are also
gardening. Make plans to compare notes at
harvest time, so you can trade your extras.
Check out freecycle.org. This site is
organized by region to let people swap
unwanted items for free. Once you join
(its free) you can post messages to let
freecyclers know youve got garden
produce to give away.

[SUMMER CAMPS]
C H O O S E T H E R I G H T C A M P F O R YO U R K I D S
As the classic Gershwin song lyrics go,
"summertime and the livin' is easy"
isn't always the case if you're a parent
trying to determine what to do with
your kids. More than 10 million kids
from coast to coast attend some type
of summer camp intended to occupy
their days and provide memorable
experiences. Here are some tips to
keep in mind as you look at camps:
Safety. Ask questions in advance
to ensure the camp has standard
operating procedures in place to
keep your kids safe. Are parents
required to show their membership
card or driver's license to both check
in and take their children home?
Every employee should also have a
state-approved background check
and those working with kids should
be CPR- and first aid-certified. Parents
should also know the counselor to
child ratio.
Activities. Find a camp that excites
kids, provides a routine and has a
variety of healthy activities for kids to
engage in. This is critical for parents

at camp. Does the daily menu includes
healthy options free of artificial colors,
preservatives and sweeteners, as well
as being free of trans fats and bleached
flour? For children with food allergies,
ensure the camp has guidelines for
your child.
Does the schedule work? While kids
may have all the time in the world
during the summer, most parents still
have set schedules. Ensure that the
camp times from start to finish work
for everyone. Many camps have forced
who don't want their kids wasting away summer days times for drop-off and pick-up, creating
playing video games. Learn what the balance is between a extra challenges. Many have extended
