Naples by the Numbers

Page 2 The Neapolitan Record, No. 11 • July 2016

This is the time of year when we get to “lighten up” on several fronts — School is out, workloads and responsibilities are lighter, hot weather requires light clothing, the availability of delicious fresh produce allows us to “eat light,”

we’re enjoying the longest stretches of light between sunrise and sunset — and then, after dark, the fireflies even keep the night air lit! Truly, aren’t these the days we want to last as long as possible?

In the spirit of lighter moods, this issue of the Neapolitan is lighter, too. There are a few fun new contributors, and other familiar names are mixing it up with new things to say. As always, folks are sharing their love for Naples... for the people here, for the rich memories this place holds, for the natural beauty, and for a continued bright, healthy future.

I am honored to introduce two talented new contributors this month... Artist Kit Corti is someone whose beautiful artwork I have long admired at Artizann’s, on the walls at local eateries, and when she was part of the Naples Studio Trail in previous years. I routinely see her walking up our road (which earns every bit of the name “Strong Hill Road”!)—and think to myself, “I want to be doing that.” You will find Kit’s illustrations complementing other content. She’s also creating a monthly “cartoon” to share her inspir-ing energy! Another fun addition is a monthly crossword puzzle by Neapolitan Sara Slocombe-Almekinder, incorporating “insider clues” about this area, and challenging us with her intelligence and clever wit.

Many thanks to everyone involved this month: to the adver-tisers for keeping it possible; to all the contributors for their knowledge and creativity and care; and to everyone who offers their insights, ideas and tips.

Is there anything in particular missing from the paper that you would like to see included each issue? Please feel free to share your feedback and ideas, using any of the contact methods shown in the box at left.

Enjoy lightening up this summer, Naples!

Kim

Neapolitans are Bringing Back the Beauty to NaplesBy Suzanne Miyazato Adopt a Planter workshop was a big success! You will notice the planters distributed throughout the village. Because it takes a Village to raise a planter, please do not hesitate to water and prune if you see a need. The Village DPW will be watering during the week, but is always grateful for extra help. Special thanks to Jake Joseph and Joseph’s Wayside Market for hosting the workshop and the VFW for donating the flags.

Thank you to everyone who participated! Looking forward to next year’s contest!

Public Information Session: Draft Onsite Wastewater System LawMonday, July 11th 6-8 p.m.@ Vine Valley Community Center6616 S. Vine Valley Road, Middlesex

A new model local law for onsite waste-water systems was recently developed for municipalities within the Canandaigua Lake watershed. The model law is a tool to help municipalities to address the ongoing concern with improperly functioning onsite systems, which is one of several substantial sources of nutrients to the lake- contributing to algal blooms and aquatic weed growth.

Public feedback is critical to ensure a local law is crafted that will work for each of the municipalities. Join us at this information session for the opportu-nity to review the most recent draft law, ask questions, and provide feedback.

Who should attend: watershed residents and municipal officials.Info: Kevin Olvany (585) 396-3630or klo@canandaiguanewyork.gov

Hometown feel... State of the Art Technology!

A love note to a lovable small townSubmitted by Marissa Gehley, “a Californian who has a warm spot in her heart for Naples”

My first visit to Naples was summer 1984. Singer-song writer Erik Darling spent much of his childhood in Canandaigua and kept a small retreat in the Cheshire hills. I’m from California so he wanted me to experience the joys of a “four-seasons” summer. Each day we’d explore some nook or cranny of the Finger Lakes.

I was not prepared for the region’s stunning colors: green hues on the hills and vineyards, vibrant blue skies with linen-white puffy, fast moving clouds. I loved the fields of corn that Erik assured me would be “knee high by the fourth of July.”

My favorite drives were to Naples. Any approach to the Town is a Kodak Moment view. We came often— for break-fast at Bob and Ruth’s; fish fry at the Redwood. We’d grab an ice-cream cone, buy a pie, or pick berries.

Often, we’d visit Doc and Katy Abraham. Doc was a music lover and he’d wrangle Erik into bringing his guitar and banjo for a “jam. (Doc once had Erik play at Rotary and happily paid a “fine” for that!)

Doc was an avid Naples booster. On one of my last trips, Doc took me on a drive down Route 245 and said, “Marissa, when you come back, this field is going to be a community

park. Kids will play ball; families will hike and picnic. We’ll have nature trails and a sand volley ball court...”

The field looked forlorn to me, but what did I know? I live in a town north of Los Angeles that didn’t exist 40 years ago. Everything is new, planned, pretty, and while easy to live in, it’s without history. It took a leap of faith to imagine that a group of volunteers could turn that muddy meadow into a field of dreams.

Many years passed. I returned to Naples a few weeks ago. While much of the world seems to be running faster and getting farther behind, Naples makes you slow down. I poked around in town — chatting with the owners of Kismet; grabbing coffee at the Grainery; admiring art at Artizanns; taste testing at Lynnie Lou’s; getting great veggies at Squashblossom. I strolled up Grimes Glen.

Naples, it seems, hasn’t changed its healthy hometown values. It hadn’t sped up its measured pace. People still take time to speak to each other on the street. The Naples Library still encourages lollygagging with a book or two. The Post Of-fice employees add crafty touches (love that barbecue scene!). I mosey through Sutton’s without being rushed. Monica’s purple planters are the perfect Instagram. Julie at Joseph’s tells me “try the strawberry Danish!” Who am I to say no?

I meet Chris Abraham, Doc and Katy’s grandson, at Bob and Ruth’s for breakfast. Learning I’m on California time, the gracious staff refills my coffee plenty. I ask Chris what’s happening since my last trip. He says new restau-rants, new academic programs and sports facilities at school; new families and businesses ...and another nine holes on the Raines Disk Golf course . . .

I pause and ask: Naples has disc golf course? Yes, says Chris, in the Naples Community Park. It’s really popular. Folks from all over come to play it.

Then I remember Doc’s prediction. We take a drive over. That once muddy meadow now has little league and soccer fields, nature trails, a playground, 18 holes of disc golf where three people test their skills on a 50-degree morning.

Chris explains the network of citizens who built the parks’ facilities, donating time, materials and money. I meet some of a core of volunteers who with Town and school district employees maintain it. The Park sparkles from a recent rain. Chris says that in a few hours the whole area will be abuzz with teams and their parents. I’m in awe.

I come from a big state with big cities; big vistas and huge traffic. I’m drawn to the quiet charm of small towns. I think they reflect the nation’s greatness, so I try to visit as many as possible in my travels.

But many of our small towns are now ghosts of their for-mer selves: but not so with Naples. It hasn’t lost a bit of the quirky elegance and genuine warmth I experienced when I first visited more than 30 years ago. It would be naïve to think that there aren’t challenges — but Neapolitans seem to take them in stride. They know how to apply a good dose of Big Green power and pride to overcome them.

Shooting Star reunites BVT favorites for a comedic trip down Memory LaneBristol Valley Theater continues its Summer Season with Steven Dietz’s Shooting Star. Another comedy from the author of last season’s surprise hit, Becky’s New Car, Shoot-ing Star is the story of two college sweethearts who are reunited by chance 30 years after their relationship’s end. Stranded together in a snowed-in airport, it becomes clear

that the two can-not avoid each other, and the resulting trip down memory lane gives way to laughter, remem-brance

and fireworks. Shooting Star is sponsored by The Grainery, K104.5FM and Mitchell Joseph Insurance.

Performances run from June 30 – July 10. Performance times are June 30-July 2 at 8pm, July 3 at 2pm, July 6-7 at 2pm, July 7-9 at 8pm and July 10 at 2pm. The July 1 performance will include open captioning for the hearing impaired. Ticket prices are $33 for adults, $31 for seniors, and $26 for groups of 15 or more. For reservations and fur-ther information, call the box office at 585 374-6318 or visit www.bvtnaples.org.

Shooting Star is directed by Taibi Magar and features powerhouse performances by two favorite BVT actors. Mark Poppleton portrays Reed McAllister, a conservative busi-nessman on his way to an important work meeting. Suzi Takahashi co-stars as Elana Carson, who’s funky style and hippie flair is more reminiscent of the pair’s college days. The two actors have co-starred in numerous productions in-cluding Man of LaMancha, Private Lives and Sweeney Todd.

I believe Naples needs an Art Museum/Art Center.Submitted by Rick Colf I have been exploring this concept for the last few months. The idea is to provide a venue for exhibits of quality work by local and regional artists of all media. This would be on a volunteer basis for whatever time the artist designates.

An “art center,” if included, could involve art lessons, lectures, or other art related topics or activities.

The first, most important need is for a proper building to house this concept. One possibility is the Memorial Town Hall of Naples, when it becomes ready. There are some issues remaining with the town hall, but it is a possibility. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Widespread and active interest is crucial to bring this concept to fruition. All interested folks, not just artists, are needed. If you have interest or input about this potential boon for Naples, please call Rick Colf at 585-301-5925.

Calling All LoraxesBy Angela Cannon-CrothersSnowcloud serviceberry, thundercloud plum, ‘Musashino,’ flame amur maple, and gold-enrain are some of the new trees replanted last year on our pleasant Main Street. They have taken root and are beginning to thrive, but they need help.

There are many things that give the main street of a village its charm, though none so striking and vital as its trees. Village trees provide more than shade and oxygen; they are the center figures of an urban forest ecosystem who contribute to the quality of air, noise and visual pollution control, reduce climatic extremes, aide in the conservation of energy and are an important part of prop-erty values and a community’s quality of life.

The summer before last, when our high shady and wide limbed golden rains, flowering plums, and others where cut down all along the east side of Main Street, it left a devastat-ing appearance that everyone noticed. What happened to our Tree City USA status? What happened to the Naples Shade Tree Commis-sion suggestion that never should all the trees be removed at once? How would the goldenrain tree rain again on the sidewalks of town?

I served on the Naples Shade Tree Commission in 2005 and 2006. Our mission was to create a Master Plan that would “provide Best Management Practices which assure the Village forest is maintained in good health with regard to the safety of citizens and property” as well as to give sug-gestions for “deliberate planning, purposeful pruning and general care.” The commission was intended to regulate, advocate and advise regarding interests in Village trees. I couldn’t help wonder what had gone wrong.

“No one was monitoring the health of the trees. Maintenance wasn’t being done,” Mayor Schenk told me in a recent inter-view. “The Naples Shade Tree Commission was defunct.” The east street side trees were removed because they were diseased, moribund, or already dead and the danger of falling tree limbs was becoming an issue. Right now, the same prognosis is slated for what’s left of trees on the west side of the street. For the past few years there has been no Shade Tree Commission (STC) and the Village Board has had to address the trees only as issues arise. Says Schenk, “the Shade Tree Commission is a piece that impacts the community every day and should be led by commu- Page 10 The Neapolitan Record, No. 11 • July 2016

nity members,” and adds, “if for instance, a business owner comes to us about a tree they have concerns with, it should be brought to the STC.” The problem is…there isn’t one.

The replanting and planning of the most recent large trees happened over twenty five years ago, when 453 trees were planted along Route 21/Main Street from Wilcox far past the north of town. According to David Voss of the Village offices, “the towering Sycamores you can still see on both ends of the village are some of those same trees.” The first Naples STC to initiate this project, and a Tree City USA status, was lead by Naples Rotary and then president, Nancy Linehan. Being a Tree City USA is some-thing to be proud of as it requires there be members to a commission, a master plan for tree care and pruning, a budget, and an annual Arbor Day -- all of which we do have, minus the commission members!

In 2006, STC members Kris Kansco, Steve Lewandowski and myself, under the guid-ance of urban forestry consultant, Chris Luley, developed: a Master Plan, an infor-mational brochure on tree maintenance for

homeowners, and a suggestion of new species, to begin replac-ing the older trees, that were disease resistant and of appro-priate height in maturity. An inventory of all the trees, their estimated height and diameter at breast height (dbh) were also recorded. Those trees are gone now. Such forest mea-surements would be a wonderful learning opportunity for area homeschoolers, a local classroom, or forest intern to record again as we watch this next generation spread some limbs and grow – a generation that should thrive much longer than the last with proper care and a few Loraxes! All stump yelling aside, a Shade Tree Commission can help assure our Village is always blessed with song birds and a canopy of green shade so that in the bare and branched season, we also have trees of beauty to hang our seasonal lights upon.

For information on how you can help the Village trees, or serve on the Naples Shade Tree Commission, contact the Village Office at 374-2500.

Tree City USA is an honor attributed to cities, towns, and villages who engage in maintaining a vibrant urban forest. In order for Naples to maintain it’s Tree City USA status, as well as a village of healthy trees, an active Shade Tree Commission is needed.

Lessons of history at Wine Country AntiquesBy Kim TorpeyThe picturesque setting and carefully curated shop speak to the experiences and interests that Jan and Al Schaeffer each brought when they joined forces to open Wine Country Antiques about 10 years ago. In addition to nursing (including service at Hospeace House in Naples), Jan ran a small shop in Gates where she created window treat-ments and silk floral arrangements, which led to helping clients find antique pieces

to complement their decorating. Al enjoyed running a success-ful mechanic’s shop for 35 years, but says he became hooked on antiques when he started collecting kerosene lamps, which ac-quainted him with all the buying avenues for “finding treasure.”

What will you find in their shop? “No reproductions, every-thing is original and authentic,” says Al. This includes fur-niture from the early 1800s (and a washing machine made here in Naples—who knew?!), book & paper ephemera, primitives, lamps, and silk floral arrangements.

Al has a special fondness for antique books and paper documents dating from the 1400s-1500s up through the Civil War. Why paper documents? Al says the fun part is that one has a pretty good chance of finding the full stories behind books and documents. They often give names of people and places that can be researched on Google, leading to fascinating tales that reveal the significance of the artifacts. Al has unearthed several discoveries in this way. Ask about an ornate local land document that lead him to a dra-matic storyline worthy of any sweeping Hollywood movie saga.

For Civil War history buffs, Al recommends antique books for the “first person bird’s eye” views they provide, as opposed to text books written years later. “You won’t get a better awareness of what it was like to live it, than by reading anything written dur-ing that time period.” He highlights copies of President Ulysses S. Grant’s memoirs in his collection, first published in 1885. The first—and still considered the best—presidential memoirs, they are the bar to which others have been held to ever since.

Jan & Al built their antiques barn 10 years ago, completing the setting of the Victorian-style farmhouse they live in next door. Jan added colorful flower gardens and Al created the peaceful backyard koi pond as a somewhat therapeutic and meditative exercise during Jan’s bout with cancer (now in remission). After some tough winters, they tried living in Florida — but the beauty of this region’s changing seasons, among other draws, brought them back to Naples this spring.

Twenty Questions For:Lauren HirshBy Jim EngelLauren Hirsh resides in Naples with her children, and their often stinky dog, Poppy.

1. Where did you grow up? The Jersey shore.2. How did you land in Naples? We moved here from Taos NM when my daughter was 11 months old. One of our good friends from our time in Colorado was from Naples. And when we visited him here we decided that it would be a good place to raise our kids and plant some roots. It didn’t take long to feel embraced by this place...

I couldn’t be happier with this amazing little community full of wonderful people! 3. Why did you choose picture framing?I learned the craft in a photography studio and frame shop in New Jersey. Then I moved out to Colorado to finish art school and found a job in a really great old print shop that was looking to expand into framing....but had no framer. It was a great job to have while finishing an art degree. A few years later when we moved to Taos I worked in a third frame shop. Fast forward ten years or so....I was looking for a way to earn a living while still being at home with my kids. I had a few ideas but last year I stumbled across a framing business for sale on Craigslist and decided to buy it. 4. Your studio is beautiful. Tell me about it. It’s one of the reasons I moved...because I fell in love with this house and property...And it had this great space for my business. It started as a garage.. .but with the help of some awesome friends, family, new doors, rusty tin and lots of sweat and paint it’s been transformed into a pretty sweet workspace.

Get to KnowYourNeighbors

5. What kind of services do you provide? Custom framing for artwork, needlework, mirrors, diplomas, kids art...you name it. I cut mats and glass, stretch canvas, cut and join the frames to any size. I also have drawers full of prints, stock frames, probably 90,000 feet of moulding and already framed art for sale. But I’ve got lots of tools and work space for all kinds of things beyond framing. I’d love to see the space evolve into more in the future for myself and others!6. What are your favorite things to frame?Shadow boxes. I can frame just about anything but I enjoy the creativity and challenge of framing three dimensional objects. I’ve framed a Kiss Guitar, a Christening gown and one of my favorite things was a grandmothers charm bracelet for her grandchild.7. What are your hours?It’s not a retail store, so I don’t keep regular hours....but please call for an appointment 585 455 3020. Or find me on Facebook at Lauren Hirsh Custom Framing. Bring your work or I’ll come to you!8. Favorite Restaurant? Roots! 9. Favorite Band?No fair, but I’m glad that Naples has a rich music scene.10. What is you favorite place that you have been to? I traveled a lot before having children....had lots of adventures and saw many beautiful places....but The American Southwest holds a special space. 11. Dream vacation? Last year I took my kids to their grandparents, then toured the upper peninsula of Michigan with a kayak, a tent and a book!

Heroin Epidemic Community Forum June 21, 2016 @ Trinity Federated ChurchBy Kim TorpeyOn a warm June evening, over 40 residents attended a presen-tation by a panel of invested community members, agencies, and parents to better understand the heroin epidemic in our region. Invited by Karen Schenk, the forum was presented by Partnership for Ontario County, Inc. and the Council on Alcoholism and Addictions of the Finger Lakes.

Bob Green, Chairman of Public Safety for Ontario County and Bristol Town Supervisor, spoke first, labeling the heroin epidemic a “scourge,” a phenomenon unlike marijuana or alcohol - gripping not only the young, but also older people who think “we’ve seen everything.”

Next, Ontario County Sheriff Phil Povero shared chilling statistics: In 2015, there was a total of 8 heroin related deaths in Ontario County. As of May 2016, there have already been 7 “that we’re aware of.” He offered more specific “snapshots” from this past May: 174 people admitted to the Ontario County jail that month; 130 people at the time of booking were addicted to some form of substance abuse; 51 admitted to heroin addiction, which he called “something extremely new.”

Sheriff Povero said national statistics show the number of heroin deaths quadrupled from 2000 to 2013. He offered a few insights about what has changed... Prescription medication usage is up, such as opioids for post-surgery pain (he cited that 95% of the world’s opioids are used in the U.S.!). Heroin’s initial effect on users is similar to that of prescription opioids, but it’s cheaper. Demand & availability are both up. Another danger is when heroin is cut with Fentanyl as an extender - a deadly practice. Povero warned, “Medicine cabinets are the new liquor cabinets. When opioids are prescribed, please keep track of the use of pills, take inventory of the medicine cabinet.”

Povero also reminded the audience about the “Good Samaritan Law,” which allows that people who call 911 to save someone’s life from overdose will not be held liable in most circumstances (such as for other substances and paraphernalia found at the scene). Getting help for someone overdosing is crucial. 911 op-erators can guide callers through CPR; police officers, emergen-cy medical technicians, and first responders now carry Narcan (naloxone), a treatment used to reverse the effects of opiates.

Most moving were the difficult personal stories shared by parents, emotional and tearful at times, about journeys of recovery & relapse, recovery & relapse...cycles that lasted for years and tore families apart as friends and family members exhausted their resources and capabilities to help loved ones fight addiction. Their stories did not have happy endings. They had a strong message: Addiction can’t be cured, only treated. The key is to prevent it to begin with.

Petrea Rae, Coordinator at the Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition of Ontario County, advised making efforts to develop

social and emotional skills in children: “Talk about these things, don’t just look the other way.” She shared an online web resource with “toolkits” that give parents talking points to start conversa-tions with children at each age (see box below). She continued, “When problems develop, we need to support the knowledge of ‘difficult stuff ’ with an inclusive approach to treatment - involve the whole family, instead of leaving family members fearing the unknown.” She urged us to be alert, be observant of changes in others (for example, a young person in withdrawal might exhibit symptoms that imitate a serious flu with extreme stomach cramping in a fetal position). Be informed, and share information.

A recurring theme was the need for communication and compas-sion to battle this problem. The person suffering addiction must take responsibility and accept treatment — Perhaps we can en-courage an environment in which that person feels more able to do that, by keeping lines of communication open and by remov-ing the stigma of addiction, often associated with mental illness.

Vicki Waterman, from Homefinders, a division of the Ontario County Department of Social Services, spoke of the growing need for foster parents in Ontario County. In early 2014 the agency was overseeing foster care for approximately 50 kids; they now have close to 100, the majority of which are children of parents whose heroin use lead to absence due to being in recovery, prison or even death (requiring the need for “forever homes”).

Sue Wilbur, from Finger Lakes Addictions Counseling & Referral Agency (FLACRA), described the organization’s role in educating and treating the public. Within the five counties they now serve, they have recorded 20 heroin-related deaths so far this year. Going back to Sheriff Povero’s numbers would suggest that 1/3 of those deaths have been in Ontario County.

During open dialogue, audience members shared their own ideas, such as showing people the grotesque effects of drugs. A mother who lost her daughter to drug overdose in April of this year de-scribed that she wished she’d used her phone to record video of her daughter when she was high, to show her how she looked when she was drooling, not glamorous. There was also interest in starting Narcotics Anonymous meetings in Naples, after listening to another speaker who is a recovering addict and NA member.

Bob Green closed the presentation with a parting question for us all to consider: “How did we get here?”

Rx Danger Zone: The Search Starts At (Your) HomeThe Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition of Ontario County, in partnership with the Naples School District would like to remind parents, grandparents and community members about the importance of safeguarding medications to prevent prescription drug abuse among teens and others.

Do you know all of the places where a teen or others can access prescription drugs in your home? • Bathroom – Access in medicine cabinets, drawers or closets • Bedrooms – Access in nightstands or dressers. • Other storage places – Access to pill bottles, pill sorters, etc.

Please follow these steps to ensure your medication is safe:• Monitor - count your medications regularly to ensure that none have been taken.• Secure Meds – place all prescriptions, especially con trolled substances in a locked box/cabinet/drawer (ex. opioids, stimulants or tranquilizers).• Dispose Properly – drop off any unwanted or unused medication at one of the disposal sites within our community (see box at left)

Music year in review...2016 so far By Jim EngelIf you thought the Naples music scene would cool down with the demise of the Cabin Killers and the Prickers, you were wrong—it got better. He’s a recap of some of what we’ve had so far this year:

1) Folkfaces at Roots Feb 20th—One of my new favorite bands. The sultry sax, the Bo Diddely-like guitar, the vocals and songwriting, and mostly the rapport with the crowd, this is a band not to be missed. Making their Naples debut, they were electric from the start until the very last tune. The band is on the verge of wide spread popularity with their first multi-state tour. Let’s get them back here soon. 2) Mullberry Soul & The Honey Smugglers @ the Naples Hotel May 20—If you haven’t seen Mullberry Soul in a while, you are in for a treat. Maybe it’s the drumming of their new-est member Allyn Pridmore, but they are really good. Opening up for them were the Honey Smugglers from Rochester. It was a celebration of their dual CD release and the opening of the Hotel’s outdoor venue under the tent in the alley. 3) Richie, Rosie, Aaron & Ben @ Roots May 13 Their second time at Roots. What can I say, one of the best shows last year, better this year. 4) Home Remedy: Rosie, Aaron & Lydia @ Roots May 26 Naples continued it’s love affair of Rosie Newton with Home Remedy, a collaboration with Aaron Lipp and Lydia Garrison. Guitar, fiddle and banjo swapping and soaring vocals by all three ruled the night. It was a night for dancing. 5) The Prickers @ the Naples Hotel April 16—The Prickers Fond Farewell turned out to be somewhat eventful. Bittersweet. Legendary, epic, Floormaggedon 2016! A night to remember! Thanks, Prickers.

Looking into the second half of the year, there’s the two best music festivals around... Starting with the Middlesex Music Festival, Saturday, August 6 from 2pm until 11 or so... Kid friendly, ages 12 & under free. The music starts at 2:45pm with Bobby Henrie & Aaron Lipp, followed at 4:30pm by Mullberry Soul; Bobby Henrie & the Goners at 6:45pm; and making their Naples debut is Aaron Lipp’s new band Outland County, starting at 9pm.

The Purple Pig is hosting its 5th festival this year on August 19, 20 & 21. The line up hasn’t been set yet as of this writing but some of the bands listed to be there are the Horseflies, Danielle Ponder & the Tomorrow People, Richie & Rosie, Big Mean Sound Machine, Outland County, Mul-berry Soul, Dead Metaphor Quartet and others. Outstanding views, great music & food, what more could you ask for?

These are great not only because they taste wonderful but because you can make them ahead of time and you can move them around on the grill in order to cook them at the correct rate to finish when the rest of the meal does. They are the perfect accompaniment to grilled Italian sausage.

Fruit is often overlooked as a grilled item but it is something you should try. Peaches are especially tasty when grilled and then served with a small amount of balsamic vinegar. You can use grilled fruit as a filling for cobblers, crisps, pies, or on its own.

Speaking of crisps: find a recipe you love and make them often all summer long with whatever fruit or fruits are abun-dant. When my children were in grade school I would hand them bowls and tell them to fill them up with wild black cap berries and I would make a crisp. I made the topping with oats, butter, and brown sugar to sprinkle over the fresh picked berries mixed with a little bit of cane juice sugar and vanilla. They would eat the entire thing for dessert. It was all fun and wonderful until they found bear tracks and scat in their favorite patch!

As always, please feel free to contact me with any comments or questions or if you would like specific recipes or advice 585-534-5696 or alexandrialeto@hotmail.com

a mixture of interesting flavors and textures all on one plate. Green salads can start with any number of the greens that are popping up right now. Tender and hearty lettuce topped with whatever strikes your fancy. Thinly sliced radishes, chopped herbs (basil is especially tasty), spring onions, raw peas, strawberries, and finely minced garlic scapes. Pour on some extra virgin olive oil and your favorite vinegar then season with salt and pepper to taste. For protein add feta cheese, goat cheese, roasted chicken or beef, cooked shrimp, tofu, bacon, chopped or sliced deli meat, nuts or sunflower seeds.

Grilled vegetables are wonderful and are an easy way to get the most out of the grill when it is going. Fire it up and while the burgers are cooking throw some well oiled vegetables on the grates or make packets out of foil that are full of seasoned goodies. To make vegetable packets use a piece of foil or parchment paper per person. Brush one side with olive oil then layer on your vegetables of choice. A good combination is onion slices, red, green, and yellow peppers, and tomatoes on top. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and herb(s) of choice. By placing the tomatoes on top you keep the whole packet moist and juicy. Seal the packets like an envelope and place on the grill.

Summertime, and the cookin’ is easy...By Alex Leto This month’s column could be an entire book! From now until October the fresh food from the grocery store, farm mar-kets, and gardens will be overwhelming. Right now we can get local strawberries (more rain please), asparagus, chives, lettuces, peas, and garlic scapes... Soon there will be sweet cherry and grape tomatoes, herbs of all sorts, radishes, peppers, zucchini, raspberries, blueber-ries, carrots, corn, greens, broccoli, peaches, melons, cucumbers...goodness! I am getting hungry just writing this.

Luckily all that fresh produce is easy to prepare, tasty, and oh so good for you. Salads are a great way to feature

Sometimes poetry... can unlock one’s appreciation for the gifts of nature. This month, in lieu of facts and figures, scientific argument, predic-tions and pleas, I am sharing a few favorites that hint at the living Earth’s ineffable magnificence. I hope they will speak to you too. — Nell Green

The Peace of Wild ThingsBy Wendell Berry

When despair for the world grows in meand i wake in the night at the least soundin fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,i go and lie down where the wood drakerests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.i come into the peace of wild thingswho do not tax their lives with forethoughtof grief. i come into the presence of still water.and i feel above me the day-blind starswaiting with their light. For a timei rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

Humor: The Non-Yogi’s Guide to Inner PeaceBy Sarah Larysz I do not like Yoga. I do not meditate. I also, do not find inner peace in the quiet murmurings of Spring. I do not enjoy peace and quiet.

Unfortunately, I am of the age group, and of the certain political temperament, that Yoga and all its trappings is basically par for the course amongst my peer group. At their urging, I have tried multiple kinds of Yoga, from Pilates to Bikram, to sitting in a stuffy room heated by hot coals bend-ing myself into highly suggestive poses, to chanting odes to my womb at the full moon, to one rather disturbing incident where a small leathery man in a smock hit me repeatedly all over my body with a large bundle of sage leaves. None seemed to stimulate any sort of spiritual awakening in me, and the sage gave me a rash.

Someone once said, and I don’t think it was a compliment, that I was born without a sixth sense, and as much as I loathe to declare this assessment right (being the highly disagreeable trouble maker that I am) he seemed to be quite right on this one. I do not have a sixth sense, and my third eye has proven quite blind. My mind is disturbingly plebian, feckled by the iron grip of the immediately logically proven. It’s a curse, really, but it is my cross to bear.

My point, and I do have one, so please bear with me, is that I do not wish to “empty my mind.” To be honest, it has taken me a lot of work and a lot of money to fill it up, and I would like to keep it that way. On the rare times I am quiet, you can be assured that I am not meditating. I am think-ing, playing a song in my head, working on my Nobel-prize

acceptance speech, or plotting the political overthrow of a mid-sized Eastern European Nation.

I admire you Yogis, I do. I envy your adorable little hole-in- the-wall studios, your ability to pass off elastic-waistbanded pants as acceptable daytime attire, your bendiness, and of course, in no small amount, your firm yogi-trained abs. I admire your ability to give birth to triplets in the morning and then still find the time to construct a 20-person yurt made entirely of sustainable, ethically-sources, all-organic materials in time for your evening class.

But that being said, you guys are frequently more evangeli-cal than Mormons. I am actually surprised that hoards of well-toned, perky, shiny-haired yogis in Kate Hudson Fabletics outfits are not more often found in subway stations and on street corners, handing out pamphlets. Not that there is anything wrong with that, though if I were to join a cult, it would be more likely to be the Hairi Krishnas, as those saffron Robes look way more forgiving to my current diet of Pop-Tarts and Eggo waffles than eco-friendly spandex ever could be.

To each their own, as they say. But as for me? I will sit here, googling like a madwoman, while streaming Netflix and texting, mulling over the social implications of the play I recently saw and reading a technical manual at the same time. Because in the unending chaos of the interminable quest for knowledge, I seem to find my own kind of peace.

Summertime Safety for Your CanineBy Gail Furst

Heat stroke—Make sure your dog has plenty of fresh, clean water available at all times, dogs dehydrate very quickly. If you

leave your dog outside, it should have access to plenty of shade all day long. If it is 90 degrees or more, your dog should not be left outside at all! If you have a long haired dog consult with your groomer to discuss a summer cut, but remember the fur protects the dog from the sun so the groomer will know how short to cut your dog’s coat. Pavement/asphalt will get very hot (for example if it is 77 degrees the pavement will reach over 125 degrees in the sun). Do the 5 second rule to see if the pave-ment is too hot for your dog’s paws by put-ting the back of your hand on the pave-ment and counting slowly to 5: if you can’t hold your hand on the pavement without feeling too hot, then it is too hot for your dog’s paws (keep in mind puppies have even more tender paws and less tolerance of hot pavement). And, of course, never leave your dog alone in a parked car on a warm day, not even for a minute!

Bee/wasp stings—If you and your dog are pursued by bees or wasps, run! You can usually outrun them, and running into the wind will inhibit their flight. Should your dog get stung, call your vet-erinarian and ask if it is alright to give your dog Benadryl. The normal dosage for dogs is 1 mg. per pound of dog body weight. For example, my dogs are around 50 pounds so they would get 50 mg. of Benadryl. Be sure to check with your vet-erinarian to discuss the dosage for your dog, especially if you have a small breed.

Boating/pools—Does your dog have a properly fitting canine life jacket with a handle on top? Muscular dogs struggle to stay afloat and can only swim for short distances, don’t always assume your dog can swim to shore. If you have a barrel chested dog or a dog with a short nose, not only will it overheat quickly but it is not meant to be in the sun and it will not be able to swim. Leave them home where they are safe. If your dog falls into the pool does it have a way to get out? Many dogs drown in pools without steps or a ladder they can use. It is best to keep your dog away from pool area.

Sunburn—Dogs with short hair and especially white dogs can get sunburn and all other dogs can have sun damage around their eyes, ears and nose. Using a children’s sunscreen will help prevent your dog from getting sunburn. Use lotion instead of spray to avoid sunscreen from getting into their eyes, nose or mouth.

Exercise—In the heat of the summer it is a good idea to exercise early in the morning or later in the evening to avoid the heat of the sun. Enjoy the nice weather with your canine friends and be safe!

Tree-Sleeping By robert P. Trisham Coffin (1892-1955)

When i was small and trees were high,i loved to sleep out nights by the sea,a spruce that held up half the skyHad boughs like beds where i could lie,So thick the twigs i could not slideThrough to earth, and at my sideThe evening star lay close to me.

The night came over the ocean slow,a wind came up from nowhere there,i felt my tree go to and frountil my bed was wholly air,i lay on music grave and deep,Moved on oceans of holy sleep, With great stars tangled in my hair.

a sea-bird on a snowy wingCame down with treble cries,alighted on my bed, this thingWoke me with wide surprise,Flew off with golden talons curled,and there on the blue edge of the worldThe young sun looked me in the eyes.

Naples Scouts Troop 40 Trip to WashingtonOur Scouting year has come to an end as most of our boys get ready to spend time at either Camp Babcock-Hovey on Seneca Lake or Camp Massawepie in the Adirondacks for summer camp. Looking back over our past season, we not only broke the national average for Scouts by earning the Promotion to Eagle Scout for three years in a row, we also had an action packed year.

Some of things we did were: • Our trip to Washington, D.C. (see photo above)• Our boys learned to Scuba Dive• Participated in climbing challenge to put a Boy Scout on each of the 41 High Peaks in the Adirondack Mountains (our Troop covered 3 peaks!) • Whitewater Rafting and Campout at Letchworth• Toured the Mt. Morris Dam• Hiking and camping trips both locally and regionally• Adirondack Arctic Challenge• Clay Bird Shooting tournament at the Middlesex Conservation Club• Fly Fishing Lessons and Gun Safety• Troop Fishing Derby

We have another great year planned for our ever growing Troop. If you are interested in joining Boy Scouts please contact Scoutmaster Douglas Rohr at 585-261-6023.
