Local Voices of Lyme
(Illustration above by Naples artist Kit Corti)
Now that I'm getting ready to send this issue to print, it's my turn to get back to lawn-mowing. Our extended, cool spring has ushered in one of the greener summers I've remembered lately! Mowing the lawn is one of my secretly favorite chores. Although, it didn't start out a favorite. When I was young, I was not inclined to understanding noisy engines, and my first few ventures on a riding mower were fairly traumatizing for myself and for more than one tree, I'm sorry to say.
Thank you to everyone who is a part of this month's issue! Publisher / Editor / Graphic Designer:

But over the years my skills improved, and it became a chore I looked forward to. Why? Odd as it sounds, it was a way to experience something with my dad, even though it's a solo chore. Fathers and daughters don't always understand each other easily, but I knew my dad loved to mow the lawn and suddenly I was getting it. It's an opportunity to comb over every square inch of a place - explore all the nooks and crannnies, track from week to week what has changed. What new critter burroughs have been dug? How are the black caps coming along in the hedgerow? Whoa, what happened to that branch? Views of the sky or trees or distant hills are surprising from the ever-changing vantage points. Once you put on ear mufflers, lawn mowing is wonderful solitude. The rhythm of repeating stripe after stripe and loop after loop becomes meditative, contemplative. I've hashed out many thoughts in my head while mowing lawn. I held this fondness for lawn-mowing for many years — until a few years back, when a funny thing happened. The more I combed over those same square inches, the more I saw, and the less I wanted to mow down. Pretty soon, our yard became a patchwork of stands of buttercups and marguerites. I was sure the birds and butterflies and toads and many other critters were happier. Fast-forward back to this week... And my outlook is changed back again — this time, because I don't want to invite the ticks to stick around. Funny how your perspectives can constantly recalibrate. I guess I'm looking forward to that meditative, contemplative time again, too. This issue includes another lengthy piece about Lyme - This time, we're sharing the voices of our friends & neighbors who have experienced this disease (beginning on page 28). Folks are dealing with several challenges in our community right now, and we are not singling out Lyme as being more important than any others. However, there seems to be a need for awareness, to help with prevention. It's a message I wish we had heard sooner because we didn't take it seriously when we should have, and now know first-hand what it's like to have loved ones dealing with Lyme. These pages are filled with great stuff happening in Naples this summer. And as always... If you have a message you'd like to share with our community, please send it in. The deadline for submissions to the next issue (September) is August 15th. Go easy this summer, Kim

6/9/19 Dear Naples Community, My name is Owen Gentner, I am currently a 14 year old Life Scout in Naples Troop 40, and am working towards the rank of Eagle Scout. I have been involved in both Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts since I was 5 years old. Starting as a young boy I have always enjoyed being a part of the Naples community and volunteering my time to help out. I have volunteered hundreds of hours for organizations like the Open Closet/Cupboard, and the VFW. I have also spent time doing community cleanup, such as picking up trash on the side of the road, and helping clean up for Rotary after the Grape Festival. I’ve also helped with many environmental projects such as clearing invasive species and planting trees. I have also assisted numerous other Eagle Scouts with their projects. I have begun the final stretch of becoming an Eagle Scout, the leadership role in a community service project. I have recently been approved to help Hospeace House by fixing their backyard gazebo that is in disrepair. I have come up with a plan to remove the rotten foundation and construct a new foundation that is made of brick. My volunteers and I will then make any repairs that are necessary, paint the gazebo, and finish the new look with some flowers and solar lights. Any extra money raised during my project will be donated directly to Hospeace House. I am hoping to complete this project in the upcoming months. In order to do this, I will need funds to purchase materials. I am reaching out to the community for support. Any donation is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your consideration. Checks can be made payable to “Naples Troop 40” with “Owen Gentner” in the memo and sent to the address below. Sincerely, Owen Gentner 8781 State Route 53, Naples, NY 14512

LOCAL UPDATES
The Naplestudio is moving! The biggest change will be not having a storefront for “walk in” customers. Since most of our jobs come in via e-mail (nplsprinter@gmail.com) or phone (585-374-9850), 104 North Main Street has been sold. We will continue all services including tickets, signs, printing & design from our new village location. As the move gets closer, we will post details in the window & on our Facebook page. — Submitted by Linda Almekinder

You would be welcomed to be a part of this group; there are membership forms available at the Naples Library and lots of different membership options. The membership fees range from $10.00 annually and up. There are no requirements for becoming a member other than loving our wonderful local Naples Library. About Us The Friends of the Naples Public Library is a volunteer, non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization of local citizens whose primary interest is promoting the welfare and growth of our library. Public libraries enrich our lives and empower us to grow. As Friends, we help the library obtain the necessary resources to help our community thrive.

Afterwards, they will also be available at the library through the summer. There are so many ways for you to support our Library & show that you too are one of our many new friends. Thank you. 8

Update from the Naples Youth Corporation By Chris DeTurk Naples, July 1, 2019—You may start seeing some changes on Academy Street, across from the high school in Naples. These efforts are the result of the Naples Youth Corporation (NYC), a nonprofit dedicated to serving youth in the Naples area. Over the next few months, NYC plans to make some aesthetic and accessibility improvements to the property. Looking farther down the road, we may see more substantive changes, such as a structure on the property or youth-oriented recreation facilities. Here is a Q&A about NYC and its goals: Is NYC a new organization? NYC has been in existence in Naples for years. It has been active in some years and less so in others. The recent activity is the result of restarting and re-staffing of the organization after a period of dormancy. Who does NYC serve? NYC’s mission is to serve all youth in the Naples area. It encourages participation and use of the property regardless of race, religion, gender, gender orientation or preference. Participation is not limited to youth in the Naples School District. Is NYC affiliated with other organizations such as the village or town of Naples, the Naples School District, Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts? NYC is an independent organization with no affiliations. It may, however, partner with other organizations in the future in the delivery of youth programs. What assets does NYC have and what services does it offer currently? NYC owns the property at 7 and 9 Academy street, across from Naples High School. It has a small administrative budget for things like upkeep and insurance. No programs are offered yet. Will the property still be available for parking? The provision of parking for the community is not in alignment with the mission of NYC. As a result parking space will be replaced by green space this summer. How can I learn more? NYC is committed to transparency. It will share all information with the public using channels such as this, as well as on its website at www.naplesyouth.org. How is NYC managed? NYC has an all-volunteer board made up of citizens in the area. Once the new administrative framework for the organization is fully in place, NYC plans to create means for Naples youth to have a voice in the organization, including the management and future design of the property. How do I get in touch with NYC? Visit the NYC website at www.naplesyouth.org and fill out the contact form. You will be contacted by a board member. How can I help NYC fulfill its mission? Yes! NYC is actively seeking donations for expenses related to improving its property. It will also be looking for volunteers later this summer and fall for grounds-related property improvement. Visit the web site or email NYC at info@naplesyouth.org.

The Canandaigua VA Medical Center to launch new VA health care options under MISSION Act Canandaigua — The U.S. Department
of Veterans Affairs (VA) will launch its new and improved community care program June 6, 2019, implementing portions of the VA Maintaining Internal Systems and Strengthening Integrated Outside Networks Act of 2018 (the MISSION Act), which both ends the Veterans Choice Program and establishes a new Veterans Community Care Program. The MISSION Act will strengthen the nationwide VA Health Care System by empowering Veterans to have more options in their health care decisions. Under the new and improved Veterans Community Care Program, Veterans can now work with their VA health care provider or other VA staff to see if they are eligible to receive community care. Eligibility for community care does not require a Veteran to receive that care in the community; Veterans can still choose to have VA provide their care. Veterans are eligible to choose to receive care in the community if they meet any of the following six eligibility criteria: 1. A Veteran needs a service not available at any VA medical facility. 2. A Veteran lives in a U.S. state or territory w/o a full-service VA medical facility. 3. A Veteran qualifies under the “grandfather” provision related to distance eligibility for the Veterans Choice Program. 4. VA cannot furnish care in a manner that complies within certain designated access standards. The specific access standards are described below. • Average drive time to a specific VA medical facility - 30-minute average drive time for primary care, mental health & nonistitutional extended care services.
- Sixty-minute average drive time for specialty care. Note: Average drive times are calculated by VA using geo-mapping software.
• Appointment wait time at a specific VA medical facility - Twenty days for primary care, mental health care and noninstitutional etended care services, unless the Veteran agrees to a later date in consultation with his or her VA health care provider. - Twenty-eight days for specialty care from date of request, unless the Veteran agrees to a later date in consultation with his or her VA health care provider. 5. The Veteran and the referring clinician agree it is in the best medical interest of the Veteran to receive community care based on defined factors. 6. VA has determined that a VA medical service line is not providing care in a manner that complies with VA’s standards for quality. “We are honored to reaffirm our commitment to America’s Veterans,” said Bruce Tucker, Director VA Finger Lakes Healthcare System (Canandaigua and Bath VA Medical Centers). More information, via VA news releases & blog entries: www.blogs.va.gov/VAntage/ The VA MISSION Act: • Strengthens VA’s ability to recruit & retain clinicians. • Statutorily authorizes “Anywhere to Anywhere” telehealth provision across state lines. • Empowers Veterans with increased access to community care. • Establishes a new, urgent-care benefit that eligible Veterans can access in the community. The Canandaigua VA Medical Center serves approximately 20,000 Veterans in the Southern Tier Region.
Thompson’s Insurance Navigation Program Ends July 31 Canandaigua — UR Medicine Thompson Health is announcing that July 31 will be the last date for a grant-funded program that for the past 17 years allowed the health system to assist with enrollment in affordable health insurance through the NYS Marketplace. Initially called Facilitated Enrollment and most recently known as Insurance Navigation, the program provided freeof-charge assistance to those applying for programs including Medicaid and Child Health Plus. A grant application was submitted again this year in the hopes of continuing the program at Thompson but the state selected The Community Service Society and The Community Health Care Association of New York State to service Ontario and Wayne counties as of Aug. 1. “The navigation staff members at Thompson are proud to have helped many clients through this program and appreciate the trust the community placed in us when it came to helping with their insurance needs over the past 17 years,” said Director of Patient Financial Services Andrea Knaak. After August 1, local residents who used Thompson’s program in the past are urged to call (855) 355-5777 or visit https://nystateofhealth.ny.gov/ for information on other sites that offer insurance navigation services in the region as well as information about how to apply online. [Editor's Note: Appointments can be made with a NYS Healthcare Navigator at Naples Library on the 2nd & 4th Wednesday of each month. See Community Calendar for dates & more info.]

@ OCAC Gallery at Ontario County Historical Society Museum, 55 N. Main St., Canandaigua
Evelyne Albanese is an abstract painter and mixed media artist living and working in South Bristol, New York. Her work explores painting as well as a unique photo transfer technique used in her mixed media pieces. Albanese is a nationally renowned artist, and has been actively showing and selling her work for over 20 years. Charlie Kingsley says, "My creative journey started more than 30 years ago learning glassblowing at the Naples Mill School If Art. In the 90s I started experimenting with recycled metal sculpture in an attempt to use less fossil fuels. The last few years find me changing direction again, delving into 2D artwork using inks and a touch of acrylic, reactive of my odd sense of humor and whimsical view of nature."

Upon purchase, the bowl will be filled with ice cream, and you can make your own sundae to eat & enjoy.

Sunshine + friends + live music + picnics + dancing + open air — This is how to celebrate summer in the Naples Hills! The Middlesex Music Festival is a small, family-friendly festival that has been held since 1981. It's a perfect place to enjoy your Saturday afternoon and evening with a picnic, live local music and community members of all ages. This year's organizers, Drury MacKenzie, Emily Rockcastle and Logan Rockcastle, look forward to once again bringing together the community to share our local music and heritage. The event is typically attended by around 350 people. Bring your coolers filled with drinks and snacks — picnicking is encouraged, and food options are also available on site. Who's playing this year? Brian Blankenberg, Bobbie Henrie & the Goners, Bobbie Henrie & Aaron Lipp, and Dirty Blanket. Get ready to dance!!
Bring your friends, family and neighbors to enjoy a day in the valley! Oh. And your dancing shoes. Definitely bring your dancing shoes!
Just for fun, we asked about how this festival got started. As founding member, Peter Gerbic, tells it, the roots of the festival started at the Rec Center in Middlesex (now called the Friendship House). Starting out with the Vista Program (which was organized by Bonnie Devinney at the time), the "young" Henrie Brothers gathered to play music at the very first celebration in 1981 and have been a staple ever since. After three years with the Vista Program, the community gathering went independent and dubbed the event the "I love Middlesex Day" and focused more on Bluegrass music. Three years in to the gathering and still held behind the Friendship House with a small stage (where the park is now), the organizers wanted to invite John Mooney to the venue and expand from bluegrass to rock and roll. They experienced some push back from the community, when a few people even wrote the editor of the local paper to say that they did not want hard core rock and roll to be a part of the festival. After this, the event turned into the Middlesex Music Festival. Once the space behind the Rec Center became too small, the event made its way to the Middlesex Airport. After outgrowing this venue, the festival moved to Peter Gerbic's land on West Ave and has been held there since.

Bristol Valley Theater continues legacy of success Naples’ award-winning hometown professional theater will continue the 2019 summer season of plays and musicals through September 2. @ 151 S. Main Street, Naples
Karin Bowersock as Dr. Ruth Westheimer in "Becoming Dr. Ruth", running though July 7th at BVT. Details at right about this show and the balance of the BVT's 2019 summer season.
Playing through July 7 is Mark St. Germain’s Becoming Dr. Ruth, a co-production with JCC Centerstage. Long before Dr. Ruth Westheimer became America’s favorite sex therapist, Karola Ruth Siegel escaped the Nazis on the Kindertransport, became a sniper in Jerusalem, and was a struggling single mother in America. Filled with humor and life-affirming spirit, Becoming Dr. Ruth is the untold story of a remarkable woman who refuses to accept the status quo. Bristol Valley Theater Artistic Director, Karin Bowersock, stars as the diminutive but legendary doctor. “What amazes me about this woman that I'm lucky enough to portray,” says Bowersock, “Is not only how she changed our way of thinking, or what she accomplished in the face of adversity (in times when opportunities for women were limited), but the joy and energy with which she faced whatever life handed her. And she shows no signs of slowing down! At 92, she came out with two books last year!” Former BVT Associate Artistic Director, David Shane has returned to direct the play with scenic design by David Daniels, lighting design by Jennifer Fok, and sound design by Rich Miller. This co-production with JCC Centerstage had a limited run in October, where critics raved “Karin Bowersock is utterly captivating in her all-encompassing portrayal. (She) travels through it effortlessly, weaving each story together with wit, humor, and visceral emotion.” (Broadway World). Rochester's City Newspaper wrote “David Shane's direction keeps the audience engaged...eliciting many laughs with Bowersock's nuance, body language, and plucky delivery.” Next up: Murder for Two plays July 11-21. Two actors portray all the roles in this musical mystery comedy. The most famous literary detective of all time takes centerstage July 25 through August 4 in Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Jersey Lily. Chris J. Handley will perform the infamous detective, with Jim Ditmars playing Dr. Watson. The fifth show of the season opens on August 8. The Roommate by Jen Silverman runs through August 18. Two vastly different 50-something women are thrown together as roommates, and an unlikely friendship grows. As the play concerns friendships between women, the theater plans special “Girls Night Out” events such as tastings and giveaways at each performance to encourage women to attend with their female friends.

The season finale finishes with a world premier musical, The King’s Legacy (Aug 22Sept 1), written by BVT favorite and Honeoye Falls native by Michael Radi. The historical plot concerns King Henry VIII of England, his six wives, and his relentless quest for a male heir.

Shows play at Bristol Valley Theater, 151 S. Main Street in Naples. Tickets are $35 for adults, $33 for seniors, and $27 for groups of 15 or more.

Walking back in time through Naples By Elisabeth Cowley
This June, the Naples Central School second graders and I went for what has become an annual tradition: We went exploring our local history. When you live or go to school in a historic neighborhood, you can visit for brief moments, with your imagination, those that helped shape our community in the past. All you need is some comfortable walking shoes, a bit of enthusiasm for the world around you, some old photos, and a story teller. This year we explored the “West Side Story.” “…the students have regular walks, weather permitting, where they can meet and pass people, return greetings, and identify houses and objects along the route.”
— found in the curriculum for Naples second graders more than a 100 years ago
Inspired by the passage above and a picture of 30 second graders outside the old Naples Academy, taken at the turn of the 20th century, we went on our merry way. Let me also mention that local history is part of the curriculum for Naples second graders in 2019.
Education and the well being of the community's youth has been important in Naples from the very beginning. Part of the West Side Story is the school's develoment from a small school class taught by one of the very first settlers, Susanna Parrish, to the Naples Central School of today. A stop at the old academy site and the district 2 school house was therefore part of our walk. Clara Benjamin ran a boarding house on Main Street. Was she kind? Try to imagine that if you wanted a secondary education and you lived out in the country, your family had to find lodging for you during the school week. There was a limit to how far a child could walk to school. Several people have suggested that I do an adult tour, too. If there is an interest, I would be glad to. If you would like to join a small group for an informal neighborly walk some time this summer, please contact me at naplesgingerbreadvillage@gmail.com. I will get back to you with meeting place, date and time. Regards from Elisabeth Cowley.
Photo below: The hills of Naples in 1911... The hills are clear cut and farmed. The rail way track going out of town ran along the base of the west hillside. You can see part of the railway complex/ station behind the wooded area in the left corner of the photo. 108 years later Mrs. DiGrande’s class would stand in the vineyard next to the Railway complex, now turned into a ball field (Photo #7 at right). No one back then would have been able to imagine the changes that time passing on would cause.
1. The Naples Academy: This school building was opened in 1861. It was built in the orchard of the Monier Estate. (The lawn area where the High school Graduation Ceremony takes place today). Later in 1897, the old Academy building's name changed to Naples High School. The two story brick structure housed grades 5-12. 2. Mrs. Fitch’s second graders together with Elisabeth Cowley next to the old stone plaque from the Naples Academy. You might have noticed the plaque in the old photo above the entrance door.

3. This beautiful house on Main Street was Clara Benjamin’s Boarding House. You can see her on the porch to the right of the door. Luckily, this historical gem in disguise, is still standing. This house looks like it might have been the inspiration for one of the more recent business complexes built across from Eastview Mall in Victor. Even the exterior color is the same. You might know this house as the Orange Inn. 4. The beginning of the West Side Story started when the village center moved uptown. The Naples Red Mill is an important building in Naples History. In this old photo we can see the wooden race way used to transport water from Grimes Glen (to the left in the picture). The water wheel was located in the basement. This was a grist Mill. Naples was at one time a self-sustaining community. We know of approximately 40 different mills and factories that were powered by one of our most precious resources: water.

5. This old photo of teacher Ila Mahone and her students in front of Naples Middle School was taken in 1905. Naples Middle School was between the churches on Main Street. The school building had two rooms: One room for grades 1,2, & 3; the second room for grades 4 & 5. Each room was handled by one teacher. There was another wooden school building at the corner of Clark and Main Street for grades 1-3. Parents had to pay tuition for each student. 6. This photo is from my walk with Mrs. Lincoln and her students. We tried to recreate the old picture of Ms. Mahone’s class but Mrs Lincoln’s smile is naturally so vibrant, and the children so happy, that this proved to be a bit difficult.

7. From the Hatch Produce Company on Lyon Street we took a short cut and followed along the old railroad track to the Depot and the Elementary School. The building that looks like a barn in the background was once part of the rail yard in Naples. One of Mrs. DiGrande’s students is holding up an old photo of the west side from 1911. (Also shown as large photo on page at lower left.)
Thank you to Naples second grade teachers Mrs. Alice Fitch, Mrs. Amy Lincoln and Mrs. Diana DiGrande for allowing these photos to be shared. More photos of historical Naples from the Naples Historical Society archives can now be seen at the newly renovated Crosby's, and soon at the Grainery - both located on Main Street in Naples!

DISCOVER LOCAL HISTORY
Bristol’s Civil War Heroine By Beth Thomas,
Bristol and South Bristol Historian Irena Totman front line pass
Irena Joyner Totman and Levi Ward Totman 1862
Levi Ward Totman 1st NY Rifle Co. K. (Photos on this page courtesy of Bristol Hill Historical Society) 24
The Finger Lakes region of New York is famous for beautiful landscapes, agricultural bounty, entrepreneurial spirit, and historic heroes who changed America. Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Elizabeth Blackwell, and Clara Barton are just a few of the famous women from our area who were abolitionists and suffragists, the first woman to become an American doctor, and the founder of the American Red Cross, respectively. Another local woman who should be added to the list is Irena Joyner Totman, Civil War veteran from Bristol, NY. Born on October 20, 1814 in Sullivan, NY in Madison County, Irena married Ward Totman in 1831 and moved to Bristol, NY in an oxcart from Jefferson County, NY with 3 daughters, the youngest just months old. They had seven children, built a log cabin, and farmed the land — humble beginnings for a woman who made a heroic journey. In August of 1862 Irena, not only encouraged her son, Levi Ward Totman, to join the Grand Army of the Republic, she followed him to Rochester for his enlistment and proudly stood next to him for his induction photo. It is recorded that her husband, Ward, was not as happy about the enlistment into Company K., First NY Mounted Rifle, and his absence from the photos and journal entries suggest that he would have preferred his son to remain and help on the farm. It must have taken a great deal of courage and strength of character to disagree with her husband and send her oldest son off to war especially after losing two sons in infancy. Later that year while fighting in Virginia, Levi became ill with typhus and Irena took it upon herself to travel to Virginia in January of 1863 to nurse him back to health. Her military pass issued by the provost Marshal, Capt. A.P. Davis, orders her to report to the Provost Marshal at Norfolk.
THE NEAPOLITAN RECORD • No. 46 • July/August 2019
With this piece of paper, that amounted to a passport to allow her to travel to the front lines of combat, she took her medical supplies to the field hospital to find her son and help him and his friends as well. Family journals report that Irena paid $10 to practice medicine in Bristol, NY and was often called to nurse someone and therefore her experience was officially recognized and welcomed upon her arrival in Virginia. According to Levi’s diary, she stayed for months and cared for other wounded men in Levi’s company. She recognized the great need for nurses, and also trained other women to help her. Some journal entries suggest that she wore herself to exhaustion and other entries say that when she brought the seriously ill Levi home to recover, she succumbed to stomach cancer in July of 1865. She is buried prominently in the front row of the Bristol Center Cemetery and her grave is adorned with a flag to honor her as Bristol’s first female veteran. Her children revered her memory and her service by passing along her name through many generations and some of them are buried behind her on the same hill. Her son returned to the war in 1864 and fought at Gainesford, Blackwater Bridge, Edenton Rd. and Laurel Hill. Afterbeing discharged on June 12, 1865, he returned home to Bristol and his younger brother headed to medical school to become a doctor. Irena’s influence again, no doubt. It would have been altogether appropriate and poignant if Clara Barton and Elizabeth Blackwell had met Irena during her service in the Civil War or during her tenure as an unofficial doctor in the small town of Bristol. They surely were kindred spirits in service to our patriots in war and those who were ill at home. How much more Irena would have accomplished if she had lived is unknown, but for what she did she deserves the title of American heroine.

Grand Opening this August for the Naples Cleveland House Museum Site By Mike Terry The Naples Historical Society (NHS) is opening the Cleveland (Tellier) House Museum Site located at the corner of Hwy 245 and South Main Street on August 17, 2019. This National Historic Site is one of four NHS museum sites that also include the Morgan Hose Building, the Red Mill, and the Tin Shop.
Thank you to Tim Massa of Strong Hill Signs for his generous donation of time towards creating temporary signage for this exciting new project.
The Cleveland House, built by Captain Ephraim Cleveland in ca.1794, is the first framed house completed in Naples. This spectacularly preserved home, purchased with generous donations from the Naples Historical Society, Jim and Caroline Tilburg and an anonymous donor in 2018, will be the main museum site accessible to (NHS) members and to the public. This site provides unique connections to the colonial history of Naples and represents a cross-section of local cultures, built during a time when the Seneca People (the Haudenosaunee) lived and hunted alongside the early settlers. The Cleveland House Museum Site formal hours for the 2019 season: Saturday, August 17 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Sunday, August 18 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM Saturday, August 24 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Sunday, August 25 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM The goal is to use this and the other museum sites to advance the mission of the Society which is to promote an interest in the history of Naples by maintaining and displaying our historical collections and exhibits, and by providing educational programs. To accomplish this mission, we need involvement from the Naples community! Museum displays are currently in the early stages of design, so this is an excellent time to provide your input or to work with Board Members to aid with design and construction of displays. Also, if you are interested in learning more about the history of Naples and would like to share this information with others, the museum is seeking volunteers to act as docents for the opening weekends of August 17th and 24th. Docent volunteers will have a short training session (TBA) and will be provided with background materials. Those interested in either assisting with the displays and/or working as a docent during museum open times, please contact us by email at NHSmuseum@gmail.com.

GET TO KNOW YOUR NEIGHBORS
Local Voices of Lyme By Tim Massa & Kim Torpey
Lyme is a complex and often misunderstood disease, with many different experiences and understandings surrounding it. We talked to friends and neighbors in our communities to highlight the facts that: • ticks in our area (including Naples, Canandaigua, Ontario County) do carry Lyme and other tick-borne diseases • people in our area are suffering from Lyme and other tick-borne diseases • there is not one set of rules or advice or treatment that applies to everyone or every situation.
Protect Yourself: • Wear light colored clothing so that you can see the ticks. • Wear long sleeves. • Spray your outdoor clothing with permethrin, which kills ticks on contact. NEVER SPRAY ON SKIN. • Store permethrin treated clothes in plastic bags in the garage for your next outing. • Use insect repellent. Spray it on outdoors. Shower & do a tick-check when you come in. • Tuck pant legs into socks. • Repellents with at least 20% DEET seem to be the most effective. Use according to directions. • Natural repellents, like lemongrass and citrus oil, can also be effective, but maybe not as effective as DEET. Reapply every 2-3 hours. • Do frequent “tick checks” for adults, children, and pets. • Throw your clothing into the dryer for 15 minutes when coming indoors.
To remove a tick:
1. Use pointed tweezers. 2. Grasp tick by the head or mouth right where it enters skin. 3. Pull firmly & steadily upward. Don't twist or jerk the tick. Avoid folklore remedies such as "painting" the tick with nail polish or petroleum jelly, or using heat to make the tick detach from the skin. Your goal is to remove the tick as quickly as possible – not waiting for it to detach. 28
We asked everyone the same set of questions, and have re-printed their words as written. We are not medical professionals, and none of this is to be taken as professional medical advice. This is by no means any sort of comprehensive scientific study and these Q&A "snapshots" do not present the full story for each of these individuals. However, all underscore a similar theme: Please take ticks seriously. Thank you so much to everyone who shared their voices and experiences! Please Note: The views and opinions expressed on these pages are those of the interviewees and do not necessarily reflect any official policy or position of The Neapolitan Record.
Annie Almekinder, Naples When/Where did you get bitten by a tick? July 2017 in my back yard in Naples.
How long the tick was on you? I had many ticks
on me because I was moving a wood pile. I never realized I had one embedded on me.
Did you get a bull's-eye rash? No. I had a large red 'welt' but that did not show up until more than 14 days after I had symptoms of Lyme.
What other symptoms did you have? My left hand
and my right foot swelled up. I was really weak & tired, with severe fever & chills. I could barely sleep because I was so cold and my arms & legs were not getting enough blood circulation.
Where did you go to seek professional medical advice and/or treatment? I went to Naples Family Practice 3 times before I was actually diagnosed and given medication.
Were you initially tested for any co-infections/other tick-borne diseases? No What treatments have you received? Doxycycline. How are you today? Completely recovered. HURRAH! What advice would you like to share? Be persistent
in getting the attention and treatment you deserve. Some counties are qualifying the illness as an emergency which allows physicians the ability to prescribe the medication more quickly. You might go to Yates County Urgent Care for better medical attention. The confounding part of Lyme Disease is that everyone reacts so differently and the symptoms can be so broad — they can be difficult to link to Lyme Disease. I love working in my

garden and there is rarely a day I do not have a tick on me. They are rampant in our yard. I have since tried many natural solutions to ridding our yard of the ticks but since they live on mice and chipmunks they are difficult to eradicate. Two summers ago my family was visiting. We were very active, kayaking, playing tennis, and hiking. The last night I felt really feverish. I could barely walk up the stairs. Although it was 90° outside I could not get warm. I noticed my energy level dropped to nothing. I found it odd that the days before I had been so active and within 24 hours I was just too tired to even lift my arm. My sister is a nurse and encouraged me to see the doctor immediately. I went to the doctor and proposed that I might have Lyme Disease. The doctor asked me a list of symptoms but since they were so broad, he was unwilling to diagnose my condition as Lyme. He said I had to wait for the bull's eye. In the next days, my left hand swelled to a baseball glove, my right foot looked life Fred Flintstone's — but still no bulls eye. My arms and legs tingled painfully, especially at night, from poor blood circulation. I was so cold I could not sleep at night. I dragged my lethargic self back to the doctor but again, without the bull's eye he would not prescribe antibiotics. Another seven days passed with high fever, dizziness, strange dark patches on my skin. On my third visit in three weeks, I begged the doctor to please prescribe antibiotics. Finally he relented. My symptoms disappeared in just a few days. I felt my energy return. Fortunately, I have never had another problem with Lyme's Disease. I am lucky I caught it early and had noticeable changes in health that pushed me to consult a doctor.
Were you tested for any co-infections/other tick-borne diseases? No. What treatments have you received or tried? 28 days of antibiotics
How are you today? One day at a time; so far so good. What advice would you like to share? If you get
bitten by a tick, demand 28 days of antibiotics. If you have health issues that cannot be explained, think Lyme.

David Schewe, Vine Valley Where/When did you get bitten by a tick?
Diane, Canandaigua When/Where did you get bitten by a tick? I have no idea.

toms, gland pain, joint pain, lung irritation, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, coma-like fatigue, instense muscle pain throughout my body
Where did you go to seek professional medical advice and/or treatment? 7 doctors, 15 doctor visits,
5 very expensive tests, countless trips to labs, dozens & dozens of vials of blood, 3 misdiagnoses along the way.. I was finally diagnosed with Lyme by an integrative physician and then sent to a Lyme specialist.
Were you initially tested for any co-infections/other tick-borne diseases? I received clinical diagnosis by the Lyme specialist.
What treatments have you received or tried? 5 or 6
antibiotics, countless supplements, accupuncture, infrared sauna, energy healer
How are you today? Pretty good, but I get an oc-
cassional flare-up that usually lasts for about 6 weeks. My immune system is not as strong as my pre-Lyme days.
What advice would you like to share? Be firm, be
your own advocate, insist on 28-30 days of Doxyclycline. DO NOT WAIT for symptoms to appear!
In Elizabethtown, NY (in the eastern Adirondacks) on May 25th of this year. I was walking the dog down a county road and went into the woods so that my dog could go to the bathroom. I only went about 20 feet off the road. When I walked out of the woods, I found a tick on my shoe. I did a careful check and didn’t find any more.
How long the tick was on you? 4 hours later, when
I was getting ready for bed I found a tick attached at my waist line. It was probably only attached for a few hours and came out intact.
Did you get a bull's-eye rash? No. What other symptoms did you have? 24 hours later I was sick. I felt car sick and had a bad headache. It was Memorial Day weekend so it was three days before I could go to my doctor.
Where did you go to seek professional medical assistance? Finger Lakes Medical in Geneva. Were you initially tested for any co-infections/other tick-borne diseases? My doctor felt like there was little chance that I had Lyme because the tick was removed only hours after it bit me.
What treatments have you received or tried? The
doctor was reluctant to prescribe antibiotics but I insisted. I got Two tablets of Doxycycline.
How are you today? My test for Lyme disease
came back negative but I do think that I was sick from the tick bite. I felt sick for 4 or 5 days. It’s scary how easily these little critters can mess up your life.
MYTH #1: Lyme always causes a bull’s-eye rash. FACT: Less than 50% of those infected with Lyme develop a bull’s-eye rash. MYTH #2: You’ll know when you’ve been bitten by a tick. FACT: Ticks have a numbing agent in their saliva, so you don’t feel a bite. MYTH #3: You have to be near deer to be exposed to deer ticks. FACT: Not true. Black legged ticks also feed on small mice, squirrels, rabbits, birds, dogs and cats. Source: https://globallymealliance.org/ about-lyme/

An initial blood test for Lyme came back negative, and I was never tested for co-infections. As my symptoms and pain increased, doctors would not pursue Lyme due to the initial negative test result. Instead I ended up with several mis-diagnoses & treatments, including medication that disarmed my immune system and enabled the bacteria to get an even better grip on my body. I found out later that I have babesia and bartonella [other tick-borne diseases] as well as Lyme.
What treatments have you received or tried? Eventually, for Lyme:
oral antibitoics, as well as antibitotics through injections and IVs
How are you today? I fluctuate: 50 - 70% of my previous strength & health
What advice would you like to share? If you ever remove a tick from yourself, save it and send it to tickreport.com to be tested for Lyme and co-infections. Demand 28 days of Doxycycline from your doctor.
Anonymous, Livonia When/Where did you get bitten by a tick? July 2009 in Greene County (Catskills/Hudson Valley), NY
How long the tick was on you? Do not know. I never saw a tick.
Did you get a bull's-eye rash? Yes. What other symptoms did you have? Fever, fatigue, rashes, general aches and pains, flu-like symptoms, memory loss
Where did you go to seek professional medical advice and/or treatment? General practitio-
ner MD who gave me a three week course of Doxycycline, and an Elisa test which came back negative. After the three weeks, I felt fine - but six months later, started having symptoms again. I was given a Western Blot test which came back positive.
Were you initially tested for any co-infections/ other tick-borne diseases? Not initially but
I saw the head of infectious disease at Rochester General who tested me for one co-infection (there are over 15) and then said that I may have had Lyme at one time but that I did not currently have it. He couldn't explain why I was still having symptoms and did not seem interested.
What treatments have you received or tried?
Many prescription meds for years. At the peak of my treatment I was taking Doxycycline, cefuroxime, bactrim DS, nystatin, atovoquone, as well as a prescription probiotic, three herbal preparations, and many vitamin/mineral supplements. It took seven years and many $1000's out of pocket to get well. Also helpful was vigorous exercise/ sweating since borrelia prefers lower temperatures; and doing things that strengthened immune health. Borrelia will weaken your immune system which can cause other problems. At the peak of my Lyme illness, I developed melanoma, which my Lyme doctor said was probably a result of my weakened immune system. My turning point was my boss's brother committed suicide because of Lyme disease. I realized that I could not rely 100% on the health care system and needed to take charge of my health. Even though I had a good Lyme doctor, that was not enough. I needed to do more on my own.
How are you today? I am healthier than I
have ever been in my life and have not needed meds for over two years.
What advice would you like to share? Educate yourself on Lyme, co-infections, and chronic infectious disease syndrome. Understand that there is a political/economic side to Lyme which is preventing medical progress. The IDSA guidelines were written based on the vaccine Lymerix being successful/lucrative, and have not been changed to reflect it's failure. Google "IDSA conflict of interest" or "Lymerix". Take precautions against tick exposure/tick bites. If you are bitten, send the tick to be tested & go see a progressiveminded doctor. I recommend the documentary "Under Our Skin", & the books by Dr Richard Horowitz: Why Can't I Get Better?, & How Can I Get Better? Other things that were/are helpful to me: Whole foods plant-based diet, adequate sleep/rest, vigorous exercise, anything that lowers stress, and good support from family & friends. Don't give up, be strong.
Jodi Caruso, Naples When/Where did you get bitten by a tick?
Multiple bites: back of the knee, shoulder, head; maybe more in my life that I wasn't aware of. 2011, 2012, 2013 maybe earlier.
Did you get a bull's-eye rash? None ever. What other symptoms did you have? chronic
fatigue, nerve pain, nerve misfiring, muscle pain, migraines, irregular heartbeat, joint pain & swelling, irregular blood pressure, fibromyalgia, extreme weight loss, weakness, vision issues, digestive issues, panic attacks & depression.
Where did you go to seek professional medical advice and/or treatment? my doctor, hospital in Dansville, Thompson, Strong. Worked with cardiologist, neurologist, gastroenterologist, & ENT.
Were you initially tested for any co-infections/ other tick-borne diseases? No, never.
What treatments have you received or tried?
I was extremely allergic to Doxycycline & ended up in the ER. Antibiotics & Western medicine did not work for me, except to rule out or treat symptoms with prescription drugs - too many side effects for me. They wanted to put me on anti-seizure medication. I turned to Eastern medicine and did a three-month clean eating diet: deleted wheat, sugar, dairy, corn, and tried to eat mostly organic food. I sought acupuncture, nutritionist, chiropractic care, therapy, and yoga.
How are you today? I have symptoms that
act like fibro-myalgia now. It took almost 2 years of health away from me, but I did recover. Life is not the same as it was before I got sick. I have to be careful: sleep when I need to, avoid triggers for my heart. My new normal: nerve pain, dizziness at times, irregular heartbeat, chronic muscle fatigue. I manage symptoms with yoga, walking, swimming; herbal supplements, vitamins & minerals, healthy diet.
I am dealing with health issues again right now and have been diagnosed with another autoimmune disease. Could all of them be side effects from the initial tick bites? I don’t really know. I do know that Western medicine does not have a lot to offer other than antibiotics.
What advice would you like to share? Take
any tick bite very seriously. Seek both Western and Eastern medicine. Get your antibiotics. Eat healthy, build up your immune system with good supplements. Exercise. If you experience nerve pain, joint swelling, chronic fatigue, irregular heartbeat know that it could all come from that tick — don’t dismiss the tick bite or the symptoms. Lyme disease needs to be researched, more effective treatments need to be offered. Tick bites have affected my entire family. Pay attention to your animals, clothing, check your entire body over; keep the cats & dogs off everyone’s beds and remember that ticks are teeny tiny! (CONTINUED ON PAGE 32)

Local Voices of Lyme Mary Arlotta, Naples When/Where did you get bitten by a tick?
I've been bitten by ticks at least 3 times. The first, which resulted in the worst problems, was either fall 1989 or spring 1990 downstate at my home in Orange Co., NY. The second 2 times were both in April 2017, here in Naples.
Did you get a bull's-eye rash? Never. The
first time, I had a lyme rash on my back, which doctors thought was shingles.
What other symptoms did you have? First time,
progressive debilitation: joint pain, achiness, brain fog, forgetfulness, tremors & heat problems. Doctors thought I had MS. Second time (now): joint pain, stiffness, brain fog & extreme fatigue.
Where did you go to seek professional medical advice and/or treatment? Started with my
primary care (PC) doctor the first time. After 6 months, my downstate PC sent me to an infectious disease specialist. The second time (April 2017), I went to
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 31)
Urgent Care in Farmington to have the tick removed. The third time (2 days later), my friend removed the tick and I followed up with my local PC doctor. I was given 1 day of Doxy as a prophylaxis. One month later, I begged my PC doctor for more treatment (as I kept feeling worse) and received 3 weeks of Doxy.
Were you initially tested for any co-infections/ other tick-borne diseases? No. What treatments have you received or tried?
First I was treated for shingles. Then I was given brain scans to search for signs of MS. Finally I received oral antibiotics, then 2 rounds of IV antibiotics (Rocephin). After an allergic reaction to the liquid carrier of the 2nd round, I was put on high doses of Amoxicillin & Probenecid, monthly. Dr. would stop oral treatment & restart it when symptoms returned. It took 2 1/2 years to get my symptoms under control. This time around (since 2017), I have only received the 1 day + 3 weeks of Doxycycline.
How are you today? I keep feeling worse.
What advice would you like to share? After
my experiences down-state with my first tick bite, I moved to Ontario County to be closer to family, and also because I thought I was moving to a place without tick problems. I know differently now. And unfortunately, I don't believe that local doctors are recognizing and acknowledging the number of people here who have Lyme. The doctors here in Upstate have to start taking tick-borne diseases seriously. Why, in 1990, could a PC doctor downstate recognize the potential seriousness of the symptoms and send me to an infectious disease specialist — But today, the doctors here say, "Three weeks of Doxycycline and you're cured." Really?? The doctors here need to recognize that tick-borne diseases can become seriously debilitating and even deadly. They have to recognize their responsibility to become knowledgeable about these diseases and to protect their patients. They have to realize there are many more cases of Lyme and tick-borne diseases here than measles or mumps.
Anonymous, Naples When/Where did you get bitten by a tick? 2016, during hikes around Naples
How long the tick was on you? In 3 times over two years I did not discover the tick for several hours, possibly 24 at most. I have had many ticks, but I focus on these 3 events because they were more embedded, and had obviously been on my body for several hours.
Did you get a bull's-eye rash? Never What other symptoms did you have? Fever &
chills, a month after the 2 day antibiotic treatment for first tick. Concerned that I had Lyme symptoms, I went back to the doctor and was given Doxy[cycline] for a couple weeks. My second, more serious bite, caused an infection on my arm. I was treated with Doxy for 21 days. Bizarre symptoms after the third bite 2 years later: "electric" pains radiating throughout my limbs that seemed to course through the previous 2 bite locations, as if some sort of communication was going on. I know it sounds crazy, but that is what I felt. I also felt exhausted. I was treated again with Doxy, for a couple weeks. After that, I still felt so fatigued and physically ill that I thought I must be dying (sounds dramatic, but true). Then it was determined I had another (new) ailment labeled responsible for my ill health. 32
Where did you go to seek professional medical advice and/or treatment? Naples Valley Medicine, Healing Spirits in Avoca, an acupuncturist, current literature and friends who are up on this disease.
Were you initially tested for any co-infections/ other tick-borne diseases? After the 3rd tick bite, when I kept getting sicker and sicker, I was tested for thyroid issues and cancer markers. [not sure about other tick-borne co-infections]
What treatments have you received or tried?
Other than Doxycycline: black amber tincture, knotweed tincture, sweet annie, reishi mushrooms, lions mane mushrooms, and nutrient rich bone broth soups. I am now using essential oils and clay on tick bites to help pull the Borrelia (and other bacteria) out of the bite mark whenever I get one.
How are you today? Now on medication for
life, based on an endocrine organ failure after the third (Lyme positive) tick bite. Could this be a result of Lyme? Some believe so. I have a couple days a week that I really feel ill for some of the day, or maybe just an hour or two a day. Other times I have an entire day I feel very, very sick. I get joint pain that may last for weeks, then goes away as mysteriously as it began. Then another joint flares up. I try to be much more cautious about what I do physically, even though I have been physi-

cally active my whole life. It's not easy, but I try manage and keep doing what I love.
What advice would you like to share? Remove the tick carefully and save it on tape to be tested. Immediately treat any embedded tick bite: clay & clove draw out for fresh bites; medication for any tick that tests positive! (Not just ticks that have been on a person 24-36 hours). Keep your immune support up: nutrition, rest, vitamins, lowering stress. And....do not trust tick repellents! Not even pyrethrin-saturated clothing! I don't think there is much of anything (short of fire) that bothers a tick. The CO2 your give off, not your scent, attracts them. Keep covered (socks over pant legs) and keep checking yourself -- especially when coming out of the woods or where there were high grasses and bushes. My final word of advice is to observe all the wildlife around your home and region: take inspiration from the healthy doe with her fawn, the chipmunks running everywhere, the robins in the yard -- these members of our family are also dealing with Lyme -- how could they not be? We aren't the only one battling this new vector for a bacteria strain that has been on the planet for over 200 thousand years. Somehow, these beautiful kin make it look possible to carry on in out-of-doors. They give me hope.
Following Puppy Paws
Come on in & cool off, find great local gifts
Dog walking brought my awareness to the earth under our feet By Kate Aghaghiri
Riley and I are enjoying the nicer weather when it isn’t raining; what a wet spring! Riley doesn’t like to get rained on. He is a rescue from a puppy mill and spent all first 6 years of his life in a cage as a stud. Most of the mill dogs have never been outside on grass or gone for walks so the natural environment can be scary for some. Most, like Riley, explode with happiness when they are rescued and taken outside. In any case, Riley doesn’t remember any of that and is content to go for car rides and lots of walks. This weekend, we are going to Cape Cod to visit family. Can you imagine how much fun he will have! In late May and for the rest of the summer we don’t go into the deep woods for our walks because of the black flies and mosquitoes, and of course ticks, but we are able to smell the most wonderful sweet bouquet emanating from the woods of Dame’s Rockets. They are sometimes mistakenly called “wild phlox”. Dame’s Rockets are part of the mustard family and herbalists have used the plant as a diuretic to increase urination. However, it is also noted that larger quantities may cause vomiting which is useful as needed. Dame’s Rockets came to America with the colonists as a garden flower and quickly spread throughout. Nowadays they are mostly considered a wildflower. Nothing says you can’t plant these lovelies in your garden and cut them for scented bouquets for your home. The colors come in white, pinks, and lavender and grow to about 4 feet tall in late May and last to early July. They aren’t fussy and will grow in shade as well as full sun. I know you are familiar with these beautiful wildflowers! They grow all around our area and bloom around the same time as Locust Tree blossoms and wild roses. The air is heavy with fragrance in when they're in blossom so take a walk or ride a motorcycle or bicycle or drive your car with the windows down and inhale deeply. I don’t believe there is another time of the year so sweet.

Birthday Month for the U.S.A. & me ! By Alex Leto
July = birthdays to me. Mine happens to be July 5th but I try to make the celebration last all month. With fireworks, boat rides, bonfires, S'mores, hot dogs, hamburgers, pig roasts, swimming, jet skiing, rafting, tubing, wine and beer tastings, and picnics, it’s not hard to celebrate the entire month. Loads of my friends have July birthdays AND the United States of America has a birthday. Other neapoliations with July birthdays include Marian Clawson, Val Klindt Parker Doty, Liz Hermann, Tina Newton, Emma Fredrickson, Nancy Joseph, Holly Heins, Dee Dee Dutcher, Chris Frappier, Tim Moore, Dave Schenk, Dianne Wilkinson and too many more to list... Birthdays mean birthday cake to most people but not to me. I think cake and frosting is too sticky sweet. Now a good berry pie or a moist Carrot Cake with Tangy Cream Cheese Frosting, Brownie Sundaes, Ice Cream Cake , Cheese Cake –homemade or from Cheesy Eddies and Strawberry or Peach Glace pies from a certain local baker, make wonderful cake substitutes.
Carrot Cake w/ Cream Cheese Frosting Serves 12 — This is not at a healthy cake just because it has carrots in it; check out the oil, sugars and eggs! 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups sugar 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 large eggs, room temperature 1-1/2 cups canola oil 2 cups finely grated carrots 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/3 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed The next three ingredients are optional. I LOVE the cake made with crushed pineapple but some (silly) people don’t care for that addition. 1 cup well-drained crushed pineapple 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut 1 cup chopped nuts CREAM CHEESE FROSTING: 8 ounces cream cheese, softened 6 tablespoons butter, softened 3 cups confectioners' sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Additional chopped nuts 1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Add the eggs, oil, carrots and vanilla; beat until combined. Stir in optional pineapple, coconut and nuts. 2. Pour into greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. 3. For frosting, beat cream cheese and butter in a small bowl until fluffy. Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla; beat until smooth. Frost cake. Sprinkle with additional nuts. Store in refrigerator. NOTE: Using room temperature eggs helps the cake mix more evenly and achieves a higher volume. 34

5 Plants to Succession Sow this Summer By Petra Page Mann
Our gardens are a lush jungle in the hot, hot sun as baby birds learn to fly across the fields and our dogs enjoy the shade of zucchini leaves. As we harvest heads of lettuce, rows of beets, pull out peas and feed bolting cilantro to the chickens, we're sowing seeds so the abundance doesn't stop. Our season is short, so we've got to make the most of it! Succession sowing is the genius, seamless transition of one crop to the next, amplifying your abundance all season long. Here is what we are succession sowing, between dips in the pond:
1. Greens
You have so many options! The good news: Greens don't require tons of fertility, so don't hesitate to plant lettuce where you just harvested lettuce. The bad news: Not all greens thrive in the heat, so be sure you're planting those that will. Nonetheless, options abound, including mesclun mix, Asian spinach (note: not classic spinach!), kale and chard as well as heat tolerant lettuces. Our favorite is Grosse Blonde Paraseusse, endearingly translated as 'Fat Lazy Blonde,' a massive lime buttercrunch that is astonishingly heat tolerant.
2. Bush Snap Beans
Bush snap beans, including edamame, bear their abundance in a flurry of a few weeks, making for boom and bust cycles if you're not succession sowing. If you're looking to harvest beans all season long, a) pole beans sown after frost was your move though, now that it's July, b) succession sowing more bush beans is easy and awesome. We sow our final succession by the third week in July.
3. Quick-Growing Herbs
With good timing and great seeds, it is so easy to surround yourself with fresh herbs all season long! Some herbs are perennial and need only be established once, like thyme, oregano, sage, and chives. Others are biennials that take their time growing from seed; these are ideally started in spring, like parsley, and can be enjoyed all season long. Some annuals grow quickly from seed, like cilantro, dill and basil, and need to be sown several times each season if you want a constant, delicious harvest. (If you'd like your cilantro and basil to bolt less quickly, hop on over to our blog, you'll find tips on this and so much more.)
4. Carrot & Beet
We sow carrots and beets mid to late spring every three weeks until six weeks before first frost. Here in the Finger Lakes, we sow our first succession in late April through early August for a constant harvest of tender, sweet roots.
Looking for seed to sow? You'll find a selection of Fruition's seed at Joseph's Wayside Market as well as in Rennoldson's! Our full collection you'll find online at www.fruitionseeds.com. We hope to see you at our Watermelon in the Dahlias Party Saturday, August 24th, from 1 to 4 pm! @ 7921 Hickory Bottom Rd., Naples It's always free & open to the public, with farm tours and u-pick dahlias :)
5. Cucumber & Zucchini
Last call, Friends! Cucumber, zucchini and summer squash have boom/bust cycles like bush beans, though they have a much wider harvest window. Nonetheless, sow a second succession one month after the first. Once your first succession is losing steam in midAugust, you'll be so glad you did. We sow our final zucchini and cucumbers in mid-July. Enjoy the abundance, Friends!

Baby Luke: Dad, did that story of the Ark really happen? Gabe: It sure did, our ancestors were on that boat! Grace: I like the rainbow at the end too!
Gaget Goes to Washington By Patricia Moon My Gaget is off to a new home with Aunt Sue in Washington, D.C. This story is happy and sad. I love Gaget. He is 2 years old, I'm 78 years old. His mom was Janet. Gaget is a beagle, smiles at you with warm brown eyes, tail wagging, fur flying, nose to the ground, eating dirt. Kitty loves him too. He was here in Rushville with Gramma, Kitty, mom and dad for three months. Mom was real sick and dad too so Gramma told us to come live at her home. So we did. Lots of fun there. Gramma fell and broke her leg just before we moved, but we came any way as we all needed each other in those weeks. I made friends with Gramma's Kitty Tabby. She loved me and she didn't love me. We had fun running up into the actic, down the cellar, up through the house, playing catch-me-if-you-can. Cats are fast and can jump high, right up on the fire place mantle! All was good, soon after two months we moved into our own apartment. Mom wasn't getting better (she had cancer and dad has cancer too.) Mom called Gramma to see if I could go back and live with her; Gramma loved me and said yes! My mom passed away in April. Dad is too sick to have me back with him. Being with Gramma is fun but she is old. I love her but she can't move very fast. Kitty is 3 and loves me. She is fast and will play, but I have to go to Washington to aunt Sue. I love everyone I meet and I will love Aunt Sue right from the start. So next week I'm off to Washington D.C. with Aunt Peg and Uncle Ron. I will miss everyone here. Maybe I can visit. Gramma told me every day, "Be good or I'll cut your tail off." I knew she wouldn't do that because she sang to me, "I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck," and I got a kiss on the head. Grama still has Kitty and me in her heart, I heard her say, "Don't get old." Gaget you will be missed, Gramma Pat
