A visit to the Memorial Art Gallery is a journey through more than 5,000 years of art history. From the relics

of antiquity to works in the vanguard of contemporary movements, the Gallery offers a panorama of the world’s art. The Gallery’s permanent collection of more than 12,000 objects has been called the best balanced in New York State outside of metropolitan New York City. In addition to its collection, the Gallery offers a year-round schedule of temporary exhibitions, lectures, concerts, tours and family activities. The Gallery was founded in 1913 by Emily Sibley Watson as a memorial to her son, architect James Averell. Given in trust to the University of Rochester, it is one of the few university-affiliated art museums in the country that also serve as community art museums. Today it is supported primarily by its members, the University of Rochester and public funds from Monroe County and the New York State Council on the Arts. The M&T Bank Clothesline Festival is Rochester’s largest and longest-running fine art and crafts event. It is the place to experience all-day live entertainment, sample food from some of Rochester’s favorite vendors, enjoy free family art activities, visit the museum, and of course, browse and buy original work by regional artists. Begun in 1957, 101 exhibitors and 2,000 bargain hunters braved Hurricane Audrey at the first Clothesline Festival. In the early days, paintings really did hang on clotheslines, but over the years, the show has grown dramatically, spilling over the grounds of the Gallery and showcasing artists from across New York state, and growing into a major community happening. Clothesline is also the Gallery’s biggest fund-raiser—all artists’ entry fees and public admission fees go directly to the Gallery’s operating budget. The early careers of such notables as Wendell Castle, Peter Berg and Kathy Calderwood have all been linked to the Clothesline Festival. And the possibility of finding future luminaries who will go on to command greater fame and higher prices has always been part of the excitement.

On Saturday, September 8, 2012 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, September 9th, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the Memorial Art Gallery will again host the Clothesline Festival, featuring over 400 exhibitors from 40 counties of New York state. All day Saturday, live entertainment will include on the main stage: Professor Jangle, Ann Mitchell Jazz, The Lonely Ones, Light Blue, Ellison Creek, Greece Jazz Band, Just Joe, and Nik and the Nice Guys. Indoors at the Vanden BrulPavilion, the Draper Center for Dance Education , Ahlam Dance Journey, and Chris Wilson will perform.Sunday ‘s main stage performances will include String of Pearls, Mochester, Teagan & The Tweeds, RoarShark, Joan Burch and Jim Carroll, and Conjunto Tropical de Rochester. Indoor at the Vanden Brul Pavilion (unless noted), will be The Bowties, Italian Baroque Organ mini-concert (2nd floor Fountain Court), Lisa Winter, Desert Rhythms, and Global Risings. Admission is $5; children 10 and under enter free; this includes Gallery admission. Park free and ride the free, handicapped-accessible shuttle bus from the East End Garage at East Main and Scio Streets or the Gleason Corporation lot on Atlantic Avenue.

Rochester’s Art Museum and its Famous Festival

With its permanent collection spanning 50 centuries of world art, the Memorial Art Gallery is considered one of the finest regional art museums in the country. Among its treasures are works by such masters as Monet, Cézanne, Matisse, Homer and Cassatt. During your visit, explore the noted American collection and the Helen H. Berkeley Gallery of Ancient Art; hear a concert on North America’s only full-size Italian Baroque organ, on permanent loan from the Eastman

Lisa’s Liquor Barn was founded in 1987, and expanded twice—most recently in 2011—to become the 24,000 square foot

super store it is today. It currently showcases one of the largest selections of wine and liquor in New York State. However, Lisa’s Liquor Barn is more than a store—it’s an experience. Locally owned for more than 25 years by Lisa Tobin Healey, an alumnus of Brighton High School, the business has skyrocketed because of her commitment to the wine-buying experience. Healey travelled and studied in Europe, and obtained a B.A. degree in literature from Dennison University and a Masters degree in French literature from University of Rochester. For many years, she taught English as a second language to immigrants. But her affinity for foreign language was matched by her love for French wine. She opened Lisa’s Liquor Barn with the goal of not being the biggest, but the best (and with the greatest customer service). With an emphasis on spaciousness and comfort, and conscious efforts at low-profile merchandising, a visitor can enjoy artistically breathtaking displays rather than claustrophobic tunnels of wine bottles and the discomfort of edging around other customers in aisles. Outstanding selection, low, low pricing, and superior service fromexpert staff earned Lisa’s Liquor Barn its reputation as Rochester’s finest wine and spirit retailer. But it’s the passionate people behind the business that make the difference for customers. Shopping at Lisa’s is a full customer-centered, educational experience. The sales staff of over 50 people prides themselves on knowledge. In fact, Patrick Tobin, director, has been enjoying wine for over 50 years. His passion has brought him to the major wine-producing regions from Napa, California to Hammondsport, New York, and from Burgundy in France to Tuscany in Italy. His life-long goal is to further his knowledge of the wine industry from the source. All associates attend product seminars, and even travel the world’s vineyards, most recently in Southern Italy and Sicily, to expand their knowledge. They bring this back to their state-of-the-art tasting and education room which seats 50 comfortably. Equipped with computer and video technology to enhance the educational experience of tastings, this educational center is a key component of the commitment to research and education. It complements the comprehensive tasting facility, located in the center of the store, which accommodates up to 15 vendors at s time.

Wine and liquor tasting events are both a social and educational activity. Whether it’s a holiday activity, a wine and food pairing, a seminar or a weekly tasting, the answers and the place to be are all found at Lisa’s. The free Prestige loyalty cards feature discounts, sales notification, and tasting events, and are a customer favorite. The Prestige card automatically beats Century or Marketview weekly Democrat and Chronicle ads, and offers hundreds of in-store specials on wine, liquor and much more. Besides product knowledge, the staff sees education as a key part of their customer service obligation. “Our staff

is well trained and ready to meet any customer need,” says Leeann Riesenberger, manager. “They are equipped to research products and satisfy customer questions.” Riesenberger’s commitment to customer satisfaction facilitated their meteoric rise as Rochester’s fastest growing wine and spirits store. She has traveled extensively and her love of Italian wine coincides with her management experience. All the wines are vintagetracked to ensure freshness. With the variety and selection available, staff need to be able to help people find the wine of their choice, whether they seek a $3.99 or $699.99 bottle. Staff are trained to be efficient, and accommodate customer needs whether they be product-related or a need for carry-out. Their research and knowledge knows no bounds-or boundaries. Jonathan D’Ettore, assistant store manager, is tasked with bringing in the freshest wines that people have yet to discover, while maintaining the vast selection our customers have come to enjoy. D’Ettore has travelled to Argentina, Chile, Italy, and California on quests to find delicious wines for reasonable prices. Ernesto Pescosolido, Italian wine

specialist, was born and raised in the Lazio region of Italy and came to America in 1985. Growing up making wine with his grandfather, father, and brother, his passion for wine is embedded in his blood. Pescosolido devotes his time to reading and learning about the more than 3,000 Italian grape varietals to help select the best quality wines available. So when you ask for a recommendation, they take that request seriously. Looking for something to do? Make sure you put their tastings and special events on your calendar. Whether you’re planning a formal dinner menu or purchasing a gift, allow Lisa’s trained experts to advise you. Whatever your plans, put Lisa’s Liquor Barn at the top of your list. You’ll find the perfect complement for any event.

menu, huge portions, and plain old good food!

New Wasabi is a sushi, tempura, and hibachi restaurant. It features all you can eat sushi bar,

seafood, grilled steak, beef, vegetables, chicken, hibachi, tempura, and many other great dishes. The dining room floor plan is entirely open, and the walls uncluttered, reflecting traditional Japanese design. There are some tables and booths along the walls, but most of the seating is right out in the middle of the expansive dining floor. The large sushi bar, located at the far side of the restaurant, is where all the action really takes place. Iting, the restaurant

manager, says that presentation is a very important facet of the dining experience. Every meal is made fresh to order, so the restaurant’s sushi chefs are very busy. Diners can sit at the sushi bar and watch their meal being prepared, or sit in the dining room and have it brought out. New Wasabi’s claim to fame is its all-you-can-eat sushi option. Items can also be ordered à la carte, and the menu also features some Chinese and hibachi selections. They are open seven days a week.

New Wasabi restaurant located at 2186 Empire Blvd. is a fairly new restaurant and opened their doors in December 2011. It replaces the old Asian Buffet that closed last summer.

Texas Bar-B-Q Joint is a family-owned business born from family dinners. Owner Richard Mogab was born in

Rochester but grew up in Houston, Texas, where the family’s dinner conversation often centered around: “We should open a BBQ restaurant in New York!” After graduating from Texas A & M University in 1999, he returned to Rochester and worked as a paramedic. But after he began catering in 2004, the family dinner joke became reality when the Texas-style BBQ and reputation for great food caught on. Eventually, his parents, Gina and Richard, moved back, and together they opened the restaurant alongside the successful catering business. Catering weddings, graduations, and company picnics remain a large part of the business, but the restaurant has also taken off since its 2007 opening. Mogab describes his restaurant as “a hole in the wall with a whole lot of taste!” The restaurant embodies a casual, easy-going environment with southern features. The focus is on the food. And what a selection of food it is! The Mesquite wood used for the slow-smoked BBQ is imported from Texas, and the emphasis is placed on the flavor of the slow-cooked meats rather than heavy sauces. The beef brisket, smoked for 12 hours, is one of

their signature dishes that can’t be found anywhere else. Of course, everything’s bigger in Texas-and if you don’t believe it, order the Outlaw potato and full rack of ribs! The customer-famous Outlaw potato is a full pound of baked potato loaded with butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon, chives and topped with a huge serving of BBQ pork, beef, or chicken. Authentic fried green tomatoes, fried pickles, cornbread, broccoli-rice-and-cheese, and baked beans loaded with bacon and brown sugar are the ideal sides. Originally known as Taste of Texas BBQ, they changed their name to Texas Bar-B-Q Joint once they started bottling sauce for retail sale a year ago so as to avoid brand confusion with a Houston restaurant. The sauce is currently available at Hegedorn’s in Webster & Zarpentine Farms in Hilton, as well as in the Spencerport restaurant. With its mouth-watering menu, Texas Bar-B-Q Joint prides itself on being the best BBQ Restaurant in the Rochester area. Experience the true taste of Texas with slow-cooked pulled pork, beef brisket, ribs, smoked turkey and chicken. If you’re looking for a casual, comfortable family environment with terrific food, this is the place!

especially. Homemade cream, French onion soup, and broth soups are made every day and are also a highlight of the business.

Some highlights of the homemade menus that the cafe has done are:homemade chicken and biscuits, scalloped ham and potatoes from scratch, homemade mashed potatoes that they peel every day, and all of the produce is from local farmers. All of the fruit that the owners of the restaurant serve are also from local farmers. Being natural in its approach with the colorful decorations, fundraisers, community work, new specials each day, and homemade meals make the Hamlin Hometown Cafe a must go to for your next dining experience.

Family Oriented Appeal


The Naughton’s Johnson House fine-dining res-taurant opened in the 1940’s in Churchville,

New York. The Johnson House has been success-fully managed by owner Peggy Naughton since mid December in 1977. Peggy and her late husband Mike bought The Johnson House without any ini-tial plan, but saw it as an opportunity they could not refuse. Mike and Peggy believed this would play a major role in helping them instill hard work and success into their eight children. Their children and grandchildren have, and continue to, contribute to

the success of the restaurant. In fact, they have also gone on to become successful in their own right. The structure of The Johnson House is still in the same setting as it was when it was originally built 127 years ago. Very little has been changed about the building, other than the north wing. Peggy has a Pianist at the Baby Grand every Friday and Saturday to play various pieces of musical art. The combination of soft music, dim lighting, and antique decor creates a calm and intimate atmosphere for families to come and enjoy their meal together. Speaking of meals! The Johnson House’s specialties are on the steak and seafood menus, including entrees such as: Filet Mignon, New York Strip, steamed clams, shrimp, and lobster tails. You will not forget to remember what the rest of their menu has to offer. Carrying an as-sorted amount of entrees, the restaurant has plenty of dishes that will definitely capture your taste buds. For example, the Chateau Briand is a succulent, juicy, prime steak, a dish for two; if you think you are willing to share! The Frog Legs are another popular item, cooked to perfection to offer the most delectable taste. People from everywhere make res-ervations just to have a chance to try these two unique dishes that are difficult to find anywhere else. Some may argue that finding “family style” type welcoming customer service is not easy to come by today; but not at The Naughton’s Johnson House! Anyone who sets foot past the door is treated with top-notch customer service. Peggy visits from table to table sparking conversation, and making sure your time spent in the restaurant was a phenomenal and impressive experience. If you are thinking about having The Johnson House cater your next special occasion, make sure you book in advance just call Marry Murray the manager at their VIP catering division. The catering is booked for over 300 out of 365 days in a year for parties which are mainly corpo-rate. In addition to full service catering,the Johnson House is perfect for private parties, offering three beautiful private banquet rooms in the upstairs of the building. The Naughton’s Johnson House is preparing themselves for their 35th anniversary this December. The plans are still in the making on how they will celebrate, but rumor has it the restaurant may give out prizes, including a grand prize on the last day of celebration. Congratulations to The Naughton’s Johnson house on their 35 years of excellence mak-ing it one of the finest historic dining establishments in Western New York!

In the beginning, there was the word, and the word was sound. The use of sound energy can be an uplifting and highly effective

means for you to experience growth in all areas of your life. A growing number of people have personally experienced magical journeys and private sessions conducted by Global Risings Inc. Each and every encounter has been truly awesome. The people from Global Risings, Inc. take you on a journey filled with music and sound. Musician guides will help you travel a path to self-awareness through the use of vibrational music and energy work. Gongs, crystal bowls, tuning forks and more can be used in ceremonies, in medical facilities, homes, schools, meditation sessions, workshops, art events and concerts. Theories abound for the last 6,000 years regarding the mystical properties of gong playing combined with spirituality. Gongs gave been used for thousands of years in the Eastern spiritual traditions. The sound resonates, producing many harmonics from each note which immerse the body in sound. Just like when you meditate and chant the Om sound, the gong tunes your spirit, resonates, and helps you release the negative

energies of stress and daily life. Global Risings uses gongs not just as musical instruments, but also as powerful and versatile healing tools, with the intention of raising your vibration, increasing your energy, and tuning your physical body. Some people enjoy the musical experience; some enter a meditative state, and some experience clearing and realignment. Client Sean Liebel says: ”When I am being ‘gonged,’ I feel very relaxed. As a form of sound healing, it works on all levels - physical, spiritual, and emotional. When musicians “play” some people can feel waves of electromagnetic energy pulsate into their physical body, acting as physical and nonphysical sound energy for the nervous system.” An authentic three foot Balinese gong is used in this work. A combination of teachings, magical journeys, storytelling, channeling, music, and sound vibrations are offered to open you to your greater self. Musical choices may reflect your heritage, or be a blend of Celtic, New Age, nature, and familiar tunes, all enhanced by the vibrational accent of the gong. Global Risings Inc. uses the gong for energy redirection encouraging positive

Austin Wheeler notes that “Global Risings helped the connective energy prosper at TEDxFlourCity2012…(Listening to the gong music) while receiving the crystal bowl treatment seemingly helped me to organize my spaced out and clouded mental energy by forcing it into the center of myself, whereby it peacefully fell right into place resulting in a noticeable boost in focus, drive and most importantly, confidence. Positive life-giving energy on earth exists in abundance;you just need to seek it out in the right places using the right methods. Inner-energy structures (the mechanics of energy in the mind of a free-willed entity), external energy vibrations travelling along mathematical pathways and the connection between the two are what make life worth living.” Wheeler adds, ”Global Risings has a lot of knowledge about energy identification, manipulation and distribution to share with the world. Consciousness and free-willed life are driven by energy structures and pathways that we as a society do not fully understand yet, so anyone whom is providing a reality-based glimpse or full-path into such is providing a great service to the universe. Such services should be sought after and explored by any willing and able person, free from all legal restrictions. Working with experienced energy healers makes it much easier to find a deeper energy-based connection to life since their guidance teaches us to listen to and flow with the energy that exists in and around us.“ A client who had a series of private sessions with Global Risings Inc. said “Throughout my life, I have always been attracted to the song “Summer in the City” by The Lovin’ Spoonful. This song always triggered the same responses of yearning and unfulfilled desires. I felt a need to be anonymous, lose my individuality, and belong to some vaguely greater whole. I felt smothered in heavy, thick sweat with the smells of my own body mixed with those of others. As I felt a gentle push into the night in the summer of the city, I experienced a feeling of more belonging to something, but not yet fully accepted. As the song began, I was immediately transported into times gone by and found myself reliving the energies of old that were once again surrounding me. By adding the sound of the gongs, crystal bowls, tuning forks, bells etc., and applying some of the deprogramming techniques that I had been presented with, I was able to achieve a huge release. As the night of the summer of the city took me further into the depths of self-realization, I knew that it was me. I am the creator. I am the one along with my unseen friends that were able to then surround me with this Love and allow me to bathe in this most rare and powerful Love – the Love of Self and the Love of the whole- the Love of all that is. This Love was an expression of joy, happiness, ecstasy, fulfillment, and more. I was able to own my own power and begin to learn how to consciously create success and learn how to have more fun and how to achieve more clarity. Anonymous

changes which in turn. Let them work with you in breaking up any destructive patterns that you may hold. A recent client describes a healing session as “a magical, mystical environment filled with nature energy, universal connections, crystal salt lamps, smooth lighting, artistic creations and more all designed to maximize the opportunity for growth.

I was surrounded with a most powerful and unique combination of large gongs, crystal bowls, tuning forks, music and natural sounds all woven together and experienced while atop a raised air mattress. The healing, electromagnetic, and love vibrations produced explosive growth in me. It was new, intense, and profoundly effective.” For a deep, moving, and all inclusive experience, check out the people of Global Risings, Inc. A most special and delightful time awaits!

PittsfordAnais Salibian has been a message therapist since 1981. At

the same time as receiving her license as a therapist, she was also a peer counselor. After a while Anais began feeling frustrated because she was unable to address the body and the emotions at the same time. After a long search for effective mind and body modality Anais found the Rosen Method bodywork and movement treatment. She didn’t know that her training would get her embodied enough to heal from her own trauma of being the child of Armenian genocide. She became a Certified bodywork practitioner in1996 and has continued training until she became a certified bodywork teacher in 2010. The Rosen Method was created by a women named Marion Rosen who was a physical therapist when she got curious about her patients. “Why where they continually returning for treatment due to injuring themselves?” “Why did others get better and incidentally have other aspects of there lives change?” She realized that the patients that she talked to and relaxed where the ones who where healed. That is when she realized that The Rosen Method was a way to access the unconscious through touch. The Rosen Method is called

a psycho-spiritual bodywork because there is no separation between a physical problem, the emotions or memories embedded in it psychotherapy states associated with it, and the opening to and experience of self. Clients come with a variety of presenting problems. Some have physical pains and dysfunctions that doctors can not treat any further because they find nothing wrong or because it isn’t their job to deal with the psychosomatic components of their patients complaints. Some people tend to want to work on a specific issue such as recovery from abuse,addictions or eating disorders and are at a stage where body work is appropriate. But, we must keep in mind that the Rosen Method is not for people with serious mental illness or those in acute crisis who need to add structure in there lives and rather loosen it up! Rosen Method Bodywork offers the conditions that allow your body to “rewire” your nervous system to get out of its old ruts and learn new pathways to the present moment. By becoming conscious of what is going on in your body, you make the connection between body and mind that is physiologically necessary to restore health. You feel pain relief, both physically and emotionally. Your body is more flexible, and so is your thinking. You are better able to make choices in your life that align with your best interests and deeper values Rosen Method includes talking, both as a way to devolve deeper into the client’s experience and to process what comes up. Physical and verbal contact are used to establish and respond to changes in the body, specifically changes in breathing patterns and muscle tension. The mind and body are

so connected that if the client thinks or feels something that is part of the issue loged in the body, the practitioner can feel it with their hands. The Rosen Method also includes touching you silently for a while, feeling a muscle soften or breath enter an area where it wasn’t before. The practitioner may give you a gentle verbal marker or ask you what just happened. The Truth immediately translates into a palpable change in the body. Rosen Method is uniquely helpful when other modalities have not addressed how physical, emotional, and even spiritual issues are intertwined. To a Rosen practitioner, there is no difference between a tense muscle, a hidden feeling, and a loss of self. The body and the mind are one. That’s why healing happens on the physical, emotional, and psychological levels at once. That’s why Rosen can make your back pain go away at the same time as you find out who you really are. A Rosen practitioner does not engage in talk that is not connected to changes in tension, expansion of breath, or a sensation of new life coming into the body. The body is a Geiger counter for the truth about what really matters, what is distorting your posture or causing you pain. Beliefs, insight, awareness feelings that can come from talk therapy are limited in their ability to cause actual transformation unless they happen in your body as well aw your brain. The usual format is a 50-60 minute session with the client lying covered on a massage table, having removed as many outer layers of clothing as is comfortable. No oils are used. The touch is gentle, seeking to make contact and support relaxation.

Sometimes buried feelings emerge, insights occur, physical pain eases. Clients often use words such as “grounded,” “expanded,” or “oceanic” to describe their experience. They say, “I feel as if I’ve come home.” Sometimes, off the table, people are amazed at postural changes that occurred without effort. Later, they report changes in their reactions and behavior in daily life, and even changes in how others treat them. For some clients, even one session can bring about a major shift or address a particular problem. Some have taken advantage of three introductory-rate sessions to successfully resolve issues such as overcoming fear (of an upcoming surgery or test or other event), making a major life decision, or healing physical pain. Others use Rosen on a longer-term basis to work on chronic issues or childhood traumas. Anais Salibian is an extrovert with an affinity for the inner life. She also has a passion for science and needed her beliefs to be grounded in reality. Over the years Shed integrated those interest to find and create processed that she would be able to offer people such as the Rosen Method. She wanted to help people lice authentic lives to the best of their ability by also creating a safe place that comes easily to her as does the work with diverse groups and with asking the right questions. Having spent her whole adulthood seeking, She is now living the life she always wanted. She is grateful to have work that satisfies two of her deepest longings: to be her whole self and to somehow help the world.

Consignment shop! Changing Closets sets a whole new stan-dard when it comes to consignment shopping. For over 10 years, owner Barbara Bernier has maintained her shop by providing only top notch name brand clothing and accessories. Before opening her consignment shop, Bernier frequented other consignment shops that did not al-ways seem to satisfy her want for accept-able and inexpensive items. “I used to shop consignment and sometimes you would find something nice, but other times there might be stained things or things that smelled; I had a desire to provide some-thing better”, said Bernier about her moti-vation to open a consignment shop. While shopping at Changing Closets you will find second hand clothing, shoes, jewelry, purses, and even greeting cards in better condition than when it was originally purchased. All women, from their 20’s to 60’s, can find something in Changing Closets. This clothing and accessories consignment shop offers popular name brands such as:

Looking for a caring hearing provider?

Dr. Christine Stein takes the time to thoroughly test your hearing. If you need an evaluation, new hearing aids, a second opinion, or just a cleaning, please call to schedule an appointment.

Patients Participate in Hearing SolutionsHearing loss usually occurs gradually. It can become severe

before anyone realizes what’s happening, because the brain compensates, making it difficult to perceive your true hearing. Early recognition and treatment is important before it interferes with your lifestyle. When making a hearing care decision for adults or children, getting the information that you need to bean informed patient is important to your success. Dr. Christine A. Stein’s business philosophy is centered around her patients’ experience. “If it’s a problem for a patient, it’s a problem for me.” Stein works diligently until she finds an answer that satisfies, and patient participation is key to her success.

Combined with the highest level of technology and commitment to patient education, PHS provides the most comprehensive and professional audiological services in central New York. They offer the most advanced hearing instruments in the world today. How do they solve so many individualized needs? Stein has seen patients with a wide range of problems in a variety of settings. So PHS evaluates individual lifestyles, and determines what meets their needs most effectively. “We invest the time to allow a patient to become comfortable with instruments

and how they interact with the environments,” notes Stein. “We customize programming to individual needs and listening strategies. We take the time to teach strategies for better communication and listening activities which promote acceptance.” Patient satisfaction is key to their service philosophy. And education is key to that satisfaction. The more our patients understand about their hearing loss and the solutions that are available, the greater the chances are that they’ll be completely satisfied,” Stein adds. Their website features an online, award-winning educational video that was created to give patients all the information they need to make an informed buying decision. And they are full of solutions! A personal consultation allows staff and doctor to understand you and the situations where you’re struggling to hear. An exam and screening test determine the next step. After the initial fitting, cleanings and check-ups are offered at no additional cost. PHS services and repairs hearing aids in their in-office laboratory, and provide off-site repair if needed. Ongoing, personalized patient care includes comprehensive follow-up care, one-stop shopping for listening devices, batteries and other accessories and assistive technology.

That’s why he’s one of the most important people on earth.

How do you care for the most important people on earth? By giving them your absolute best. At St. Ann’s, we have built a brand new skilled nursing center in Webster that gives people more choices than ever before. From setting your own schedule, to enjoying small, friendly neighborhoods, to dining in cozy country kitchens—we make life what each resident wants it to be.

We have also created the area’s first freestanding transitional care center—the only rehab center in Rochester that is not located in a nursing home.

So people can recover from major medical events surrounded by people just like themselves.

It is a remarkable new way to care for people. Inspired by the people who deserve nothing less than the best.

Caring for The Most Important People on Earth


St. Ann’s Community recently opened Rochester’s only freestanding transitional care center, as

well as a state-of-the-art care center in Webster. “We’re very happy with the two buildings,” said St. Ann’s President and CEO, Betty Mullin-DiProsa. “Everyone who tours them seems to say the same thing: ‘Wow!’” The new Wegman Transitional Care Center in Irondequoit and the new St. Ann’s Care Center at Cherry Ridge are receiving rave reviews, not only because they enable advanced care, but also because they were designed and decorated as homes. The interiors look just like a house. Patients are welcomed by a charming parlor with a fireplace, are encouraged to grab drinks or snacks in the beautiful country kitchen, and spend time with family and friends in the great room. All the rooms in the two buildings are private, and have a bathroom with a handicap accessible shower. There are only 10 to 12 patient/resident rooms on each household, and this small number of people creates a personal and familiar environment. The small size and homey design of these households naturally encourages person centered care—a philosophy of care which enables patients and residents to direct their lives and make their own decisions. For example, if a resident likes to sleep in and eat breakfast two hours later than it is traditionally served, the staff can utilize the kitchen to prepare breakfast for him when he is ready to eat. These buildings will also provide more opportunities for transitional care patients to participate in functional rehabilitation. Patients can plan for their return home by practicing daily tasks like cooking and loading clothing into a washing machine. And because the new Wegman Transitional Care Center in Irondequoit is freestanding, it provides an environment with a single focus: helping patients gain the independence they need to return home. Cherry Ridge, St. Ann’s Webster campus, now

has transitional care and skilled nursing services, creating a full continuum of care there. This enables residents to age in place and couples to remain near each other even if one spouse needs a higher level of care. As Betty Mullin-DiProsa said, “These new spaces were designed to give our residents and patients better care—care that is more patient driven and resident directed. We are thrilled to provide this level of service.” For more information or to receive a Free Transitional Care Planning Kit, call 585-697-6311.

CanandaiguaThe Seneca Indians were a great people (in their languagre, Onon-

dowga), was the largest and most powerful of the Confederation of Iroquois Tribes. Formed in 1570, the Iroquois League or the Five Na-tions comprised the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga Seneca and later Tuscarora tribes. The Seneca Nation once covered the vast area from Seneca Lake to the Niagara River; tradition holds that the origi-nal people of their nation were birthed from the crest of a great hill at the head of a great lake and there those original people chose to settle Kanandarque which means “chosen spot.” For generations upon genera-tions the heart of the Seneca Indian nation was located on what is now West Avenue in Canandaigua. Throughout its history Canandaigua has also been the chosen spot for several noteworthy people and events including the signing of the great peace treaty of 1794 also called the Canandaigua or Pickering Treaty, which is the oldest honor treaty between the United States and the Six Nations of the Iroquois League; and after Susan B. Anthony voted in the 1872 presidential election, she was tried and convicted in 1873 for illegally voting, the court fined her $100 which she refused to pay, the judge did not require her to be jailed. Gideon Granger, who served as the first U.S. Postmaster General from 1801 to 1814, making him the longest serving Postmaster General as of 2012. Granger served under Presidents Jefferson and Madison, after his retirement chose to make his home in Canandaigua, now known as the historic Granger Homestead and Carriage Museum. Besides the Granger Homestead another family who made their Summer home in Canandaigua was Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Ferris Thompson, who were New York financiers and Frederick Thompson was amongst the found-ers of Citibank. A widowed Mrs. Thompson was one of the area’s biggest philanthropists and transformed their Summer estate into Sonnenberg Gardens, one of America’s great castles. As of 2012 there are 271 wineries in the State of New York and New York is the third largest wine producing state in the Country, focusing attention on the Finger Lakes region; Canandaigua was chosen for the New York Wine and Culinary Center, which offers visitors the opportu-nity of tasting New York State Wines, sample local foods and take both culinary classes and educational tours. With a commitment to fostering a growing artistic community, arts and culture is thriving in Canandaigua; the Hochstein School of Mu-sic and Dance chose to have a campus at the Canandaigua Academy and it is home for the Constellation Marvin A. Sands Performing Arts Center(CMAC) to host acclaimed performers of World class talent. There are numerous arts and artisan festivals throughout the year: the Downtown Arts & Music Festival, Sonnenberg’s Arts at the Garden and the Annual Art Walk, to name a few. Canandaigua’s artistic com-munity is nurtured, supported, developed and encouraged by the non-profit association, All Things Art; and is well represented on the Finger Lakes Art Trail. A wonderfully eclectic selection of businesses have been chosen to set up shop in Canandaigua, ranging from great restaurants to galleries, fine art, candles, gourmet coffees, pottery, photography, furniture, spices, herbs, and one of kind gifts and collectibles. This variety of businesses and services make life interesting in this vibrant, thriving community. From its rich history to its pic-turesque lakefronts to its busy shops, beautiful tree lined streets with gracious homes that have lovely gardens. Today over 100 years later this same appreciation still holds true for Canandaigua New York which is truly the “chosen spot.”


Nestled in the picturesque Finger Lakes region of New York, Sonnenberg Gardens is a New York State Historic Park offering

one of the few remaining estates in the U.S. with a Queen Anne-style mansion and formal gardens. Built in 1887, Sonnenberg’s 40-room Mansion offers visitors a glimpse of what life was like in the late nineteenth century. Along with 17 other structures across the 50-acre property, the estate boasts nine formal gardens representing many cultures and historic periods including 12th-century Asia, 4th-century Rome and the French Renaissance. A 20-acre arboretum of rare and exotic trees, plants and unique landscapes stretches across the grounds, while a Lord & Burnham wood-and-glass greenhouse complex of the Victorian period features varieties of orchids, succulents, tropical plants and flowers, as well as vegetables. The Sonnenberg Mansion Perched atop the sun-bathed hill of the estate known as “Sonnenberg” (German for “sunny hill”) is a 40-room Queen Anne-style mansion. New York City bank financier Frederick Ferris Thompson and his wife, Mary Clark Thompson, the daughter of New York State governor Myron Holley Clark, purchased the property in 1863 when it featured just a brick farmhouse on 14 acres. As business prospered, the couple purchased additional acreage and replaced the farmhouse with the mansion, which was built between 1885-1887. Today, visitors can view many of its stately rooms, including the impressive Great Hall, the Billiard and Trophy Rooms, the Library, Drawing Room, Dining Room, and upstairs, the Master Bedroom and several additional guest rooms. The Mansion is handicap-accessible throughout the first floor. A number of special events throughout the Garden Season are hosted on the wide porches of the Veranda, which encircles the south and west sides of the Mansion. Sonnenberg Gardens & Grounds Much of the signature floral design and landscaping seen today at our nine formal gardens bears the imprint of philanthropist Mary Clark Thompson, who brought home ideas and art from her many trips to European and Asian locales. Following the 1899 death of her husband, Mrs. Thompson involved hundreds of workers between 1902 and 1919 in a re-design of the gardens. She was assisted primarily by Boston landscape architect Ernest Bowditch, and later, his assistant John Handrahan.

ARTIQUES Heirlooms and Art is a quality consignment home furnishings retail store located in the beautiful

Finger Lakes area of New York State at 43 South Main Street in Canandaigua, NY. Owners Matthew and Cindy Burt considered the opportunity to buy the business formerly known as “Changes Everything” in the summer of 2008. Cindy has a tremendous love for and many years experience with researching, buying and selling antique and vintage items for both private and professional purposes. She is quick to point out, however, that she is “not a professional dealer or appraiser”. ARTIQUES is not just a consignment store...it is not just an antique store...it is not just an art gallery...it is not just a coffee shop. It is an eclectic and unique mix of old and new; primitive to modern; ever changing and always maintaining high standards with the products they carry. Just a few of the items that are routinely available are: scatter and room size rugs, vintage and modern jewelry, sterling silver pieces, antique and vintage art, vintage clothing, china, glassware and a large selection of furniture. Whether shopping for yourself or for a gift, it is sure to be found at ARTIQUES. Items found in ARTIQUES are quality antique, primitive, vintage, kitsch and contemporary. Among the artwork available for sale are the current works of local artisans. Each month features an individual artist who gets full display of one of the shop’s main street windows. Many varieties of gourmet coffee, frozen drinks, espresso drinks, teas and pastries are available for purchase. They have expanded their services to include lamp repair and furniture painting. They also have linked with service providers such as rug cleaning, furniture repair and restoration, chair caning, clock repair, interior decorating and picture and

art framing. Their customers receive special consideration when using any of these companies. ARTIQUES has been referring their customers to Matt Fairbrother who is involved with furniture restoration and repair. Matt has worked on all types of furniture, including pieces that date back to the 16th century. He is a stickler for quality work He prides himself on his finish work – it has to be “smooth!” Many times people assume that you have to strip a piece to renovate it and thereby lose the “old” look. That’s not true. Putting life back into a piece doesn’t mean you have to make it look brand new – unless, of course, that’s what they want. Old age is what antiques are all about. There’s nothing wrong with showing age says Matt. My job is to bring out the natural beauty, give it a facelift. Furniture is very personal to many people. They live with it everyday. Some pieces become part of the family. They are treasured more for their sentimental value than their actual worth. His greatest satisfaction is taking a piece of furniture thought to be beyond repair, giving it a little tender loving care and then watching the client’s face light up when it’s returned! For the Love of Lizzy Candles is owned by Darcey Elias and began in Elmira, NY after the birth of her first daughter Elizabeth in 2001. Candle making began as a hobby and quickly blossomed into a profitable business. The business is now located at 41 S Main St in Canandaigua, NY after their family moved from Elmira to Canandaigua in 2011. ARTIQUES carries a wide selection of Lizzy candles and scents!

The Rio Tomatlan is a lively, authentic Mexican restaurant with an appeal of originality like no other. It is located in

the center of Canandaigua. The Rio Tamatlan is an exciting, colorful, art filled restaurant that has local artists with paintings done with mixed media with a variety of lively colors. Also the restaurant has a unique bar with over 72 different Tequilas including a Tequila that is a scorpion bottle Tequila. The Tequila bar is rare though as it is one of the only ones in the Finger Lakes region. The restaurant prides itself on serving customers with some of the freshest ingredients around the Finger Lakes region that are from the Finger Lakes region’s local farms. Recipes are made by the owner’s family in an atmosphere that is sure to leave a lasting impact on your senses. Owner Juan Guevera started out in the restaurant industry as a busboy and a dishwasher who helped out his parents with their own recipes that they made themselves from their own ingredients that they themselves purchased and traveled with. Guevera’s Father is an engineer and his Mother is a teacher who are both very involved in the Hispanic communities of the Sodus region. In the 1990’s his parents bought a car wash which they made into a community

center where their neighbors could relax and come together, cook their Mexican food recipes, and eat together with their community.

Yet what is even more interesting was the Guevera family’s purchase of an old car wash in the Sodus

community and what they turned it into over time. The Guevera’s used the car wash

as a focal point for the creation of an established restaurant in Sodus which was called the El Rincon Mexicano that through word-of-mouth, customers became interested in the El Rincon Mexicano restaurant on Old Ridge Road in Sodus. People started frequenting the restaurant until the

demand of the restaurant increased over time due to its popularity it opened up El

Rincon Mexicano 2 in Canandaigua in 2006 on Beeman Street.

Guevera’s love for natural, local, foods has inspired him since his youth, to serve and provide customers with some of the best authentic Mexican food available. What is best about the food is that none of it is canned, packaged, or preserved. It’s all fresh food created with a family proud of their heritage, Rio Tomatlan is a genuine, enjoyable spot for fine Mexican cuisine in the Finger Lakes community.

Rio Tamatlan

At Rio Tomatlan we think your dining should be an experience. Our authentic Mexican restaurant in historic Canandaigua brings a menu rich in history, color,

and taste together to make your visit memorable.

Anyone who’s gotten the giggles knows you feel better afterward. So it’s no surprise that Laughter Yoga, which combines unconditional

laughter with Yogic breathing (Pranayama), is a new phenomenon. Laughter Yoga focuses on complete well-being and the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits of laughter. It provides a total body workout while decreasing blood pressure, stress, pain, and depression, and increasing oxygen levels, lung capacity, endorphins, while boosting the immune system. Laughter lifts us up, helps us cope, builds confidence, and breaks down barriers and inhibitions. No sense of humor is required- it’s a simulated physical exercise, but the body doesn’t distinguish between fake and real laughter, so benefits are real. Laughter’s a powerful physical work-out that engages muscles, heart and lungs. “The therapeutic benefits have been scientifically researched for years,” notes Dale Heffer, owner of Lady Be Fit Express, a women’s fitness studio in Irondequoit. “However, laughing is a serious matter! You can’t laugh too little, but you can laugh too much, elevating cortisol levels, thus putting your body in de-stress.” As with any workout, seniors or beginners must proceed carefully.

Beer, Wings and Bowling at L & M Lanes

L & M Lanes is one of those small neighborhood joints

that is a hidden treasure, with cheap bowling, good beer, and great pub-style food. Casual and comfortable, you’ll be welcomed as a neighbor when you walk in and sit down. The small local bowling alley is located on Merchants Road right off of Culver Road in Rochester, NY. The retro ball returns that return the balls above the lane are nostalgic touch, the atmosphere is casual and fun, and the hot wings are really hot! With 12 lanes (six upstairs and six down), open bowling is always available, but lanes are often full with leagues, so call ahead if you plan to bowl. Other features include bumper bowling, darts and Quick Draw. But besides being a bowling alley, the L & M Lanes bar/restaurant is quietly famous for their legendary chicken wings, served crispy and covered in a tangy

sauce with a hint of heat. They are one of the best kept secrets in Rochester. They serve burgers, nachos,

French fries and onion rings, too. They offer a surprisingly

large and fine beer selection, in both bottles and on tap. Many regional and national micro-brewery standouts are available, including all of Anchor’s regular offerings, Sierra

Nevada Torpedo, Southern Tier Finn and Matt’s, Victory Hop Devil, Victory

Storm King and many others. Probably as many people come for the wings and beer

as the bowling! Private parties are welcome with advance

notice. Open seven days a week, L & M Lanes is located at 873 Merchants Road in

Rochester, NY. You can call 585-288-1210, visit www.lmlanes.com, or e-mail them at [email protected].

A Different Path Gallery began in 2010 with owner Katherine Weston‘s desire for her own studio space close

to home. “On a whim, I looked into a building that had been listed for sale and was surprised to find that I could buy the building for a reasonable price,” says Weston. A lot of work, and two years later, she has a gift shop, 2 art galleries, classroom space, four studios rented to local artists, and her own studio space all in that building. The official “shop dogs” are often visiting the space as well, waiting to greet customers. The Gallery Gift Shop carries artwork and fine crafts from over 50 artists. Described as a perfect mix of elegance and whimsy, it lives up to its reputation. Everything from pottery and jewelry to socks and clocks can be found in the shop. All is made in the U.S. or is Fair Trade. There are fourteen local artists on consignment. ”There’s no mass-produced anything here,” notes Weston proudly. Yet prices are remarkably reasonable and can accommodate any budget and occasion. The Main and Upper Galleries host local artists on a monthly basis. Each month the exhibit changes and an artist’s reception is held on the second Friday. But artwork isn’t the

only thing to see at the Gallery. Dance performances, poetry readings and music jams are a regular part of the events scheduled for your enjoyment. From dancing to drumming, you will find something on the event schedule for your taste! Professional artists rent 4 studio spaces in the building and their presence enhances the atmosphere. They often attend events, show their art, and teach classes. Weston also has her own studio in the building and her art is displayed in the shop. The newly formed Brockport Artists’ Guild is housed there as well. The Classroom is used by a diverse group of artists who offer various classes for youth or adults at the gallery, and is used for figure drawing on Sunday evenings. Music jams are also held every Sunday. A new pottery studio is under construction and should be open by late summer 2012. The store and gallery will be closed in July for renovations but reopen in August. Whether you seek fun, inspiration, education, or unique gifts, A Different Path Gallery is the place to visit! Stop in at 27 Market Street in Downtown Brockport or at www.DifferentPathGallery.com.

Science has established that magnetic energy passes through all material, thus affecting all living things. Magnetic fields surround

the earth and protect all living things from harmful radiation. Magnets can increase the blood flow in capillaries, flushing out lactic acid and other inflammatory substances from tissues, thereby relieving pain and inflammation and easing tension headaches and light migraines. Hematite is a natural steel gray or red stone comprised of iron oxide which is the principal ore of iron; in fact, the word hematite comes from the Greek, haimo, meaning blood. This stone is highly effective at grounding and protecting; it balances the meridians, as well as encouraging will power, reliability, courage, and optimism. Hematite also stimulates concentration and focus. In healing, hematite aids in circulation as it restores, strengthens and regulates the blood supply. A wide variety of health benefits have been attributed to magnetic jewelry. Magnetic hematite can maintain the natural charge of nerve cells, thus reducing pain. Many use it to improve quality of sleep, aid the immune system, relieve ailments of the hands, wrists and fingers, and generally enhance physical energy and vitality.Magnetic hematite comes in a variety of shapes: round, barrel, tube, rice, hexagon, twist, and more. Hematite beads can be coated with pastel and ivory colors (called “pearls”), painted with designs over the coating (“Picasso”), or silver-plated. Rainbow hematite gets its beautiful iridescent colors from a metallic coating.Sandy Zohari, Sage-Thyme Jewelry & DesignAdorn Yourself with Beautiful Chiwww.sage-thyme.com • [email protected] 315.539.0948

The Attraction of Magnetic Hematite Bracelets


The Shoppe’s three-story building located on Route 31, has a history dating back to 1898. Originally

built as a private residence, it soon became the National Freight Bureau near the turn of the century. The WayneCounty gateway from Rochester, the Macedon village was a prosperous canal, railway and trolley town. During the mid century, the building was home to Kelly’s Drug Store. Recently rehabilitated after 10 years of dormancy, the building, like many of the items it now showcases, has now found new life. Laurie Leenhouts and her cousin, Annie D’Ambra, have been interested in history and have been long-time collectors of a variety of antiques. Both were very excited about opening up this new shop. “We especially enjoy creatively repurposing older items. Finding new uses for old objects, and then also decorating with them and other vintage and collectible items, we are able to create a sort of whimsical atmoshere here at the Gingerbread Shoppe,” says Leenhouts. As Macedon village residents, “we saw potential in the declining Main Street building,” adds D’Ambra. Now the cousins who share a passion for Primitive and Shabby Chic styles can work together, close to their homes, and showcase what an eclectic array of refurbished “cast offs” can look like when paired creatively with more traditional historic treasures. When you enter the Gingerbread Shoppe, you’ll feel like you are taking a pleasant stroll into the past. Everywhere you look, you will see that the creative cousins have incorporated things with a glorious past life, like antique stained glass windows and Steiff bears. Antique German and French bisque dolls, from the turn of the 19th century, find temporary homes at the shoppe, eagerly awaiting their new adoptive homes. The main floor includes a variety of antiques, in addition to the antique doll collection,you will find a book room

and other themed areas. A customer favorite, the Blue Room, features blue and white china and accessories. You

will also be able to enjoy a scenic view from decks off the Main and second floors. You can’t help but pause at the Ginger Rose Tea Room, located in the front area of the second floor. Visitors often stop there with friends in the Victorian-style tea room, displaying English china and original rose wallpaper, for a cup of tea or coffee, providing shoppers with a convenient spot to relax on their four level journey. Renovations of the second floor also include the installation of a complete 1950’s vintage turquoise GE kitchen. The Attic has a variety of vintage clothing, linens, bridals gowns, aRaggedy Ann collection and a resale items children’s room. The Cellar has tools, wrought iron, and other mantiques. A walk-out from the basement door offers shoppers garden items for sale behind the shoppe. Laurie has been making grapevine wreaths and baskets for many years which are displayed along the white washed fences in the back garden area. The Shoppe is located on 75 Main Street, Route 31, in the village of Macedon. Their current open hours are Tuesdays through Thursdays, from 2-5 pm, and Fridays and Saturdays from 10-4pm. For a tantalizing peek, visit them on the web at www.gingerbreadshoppe.com . From the vintage clothing and exquisite linens on the third floor, down to the garden level relics and locally made grapevine wreaths, treasure hunters are sure to find something wonderful. Bring a friend with you, and be prepared to reminisce as you move from delightful treasure to treasure.

You will be certain to bring home as a souvenir that will remind you of the happy trip you took to Macedon and down memory lane!
