Jan 23, 2017      Finger Lakes Connected  
For the last 20 years, my middle name officially has been my maiden name - Mirsky.  I recently found out that Mir means peace. So put that with "sky" and you have peace sky.  I think January can be a tough month for many people with it being after the holidays and the weather, etc. When we can get outside and enjoy nature, I think it helps to shift our perspective.  When we can be outside under the same big sky and realize we are all sharing it, life can become peaceful. So, get out there and walk even if you feel tired or hungry or cranky. You will be amazed how it can shift your perspective and help you to feel more connected to the world and to others. I got out there briefly this morning and the fog and mist somehow gave me some real clarity. Next time you really don't feel like it - it is too cold or too windy or too grey...just do it! Surprise yourself!  Even a 3 to 11 minute walk outdoors can do wonders! We are all in this thing together. I'm rooting for you! :)
Peace & Blue Skies, Donna Bennett

Museum to Host National Monometer Exhibit
In conjunction with our 2018 WWI Theme the Historical Society will present a unique automotive technology exhibit dating to the early 1900s.
What are Motometers?
Throughout the 1920s monometers or radiator-mounted engine temperature gauges presided on the front of almost every automobile, truck and airplane.  Your automobile's engine temperature gauge, "Check Engine" light and hood ornament trace their origin back to these devices.
Internationally known automotive industry historian, artifact preservationist and Canandaigua resident Francis Clax is loaning his extensive monometer collection to the Ontario Historical Society for an exclusive exhibition to be held between February 2nd and September 8th, 2017.   
This exhibition will provide an unprecedented look into the 100-year plus history of these unique artifacts and the early automobile industry. An opening reception is scheduled on Friday February 2, 2018.

FLCC to mark 50th anniversary on Feb. 1
  
Finger Lakes Community College will mark 50 years of classes on Thursday, Feb. 1, with the announcement of a time capsule, the release of a commemorative book, and a gallery exhibit of works by FLCC's first art faculty members and their students.
 
Community College of the Finger Lakes, the college's original name, began full-time credit-bearing classes on Feb. 1, 1968.
 
The Feb. 1 celebration, called "From the Storefronts to Lincoln Hill: Celebrating 50 Years at FLCC," is a series of events at the main campus between 2 and 6:30 p.m. All are free and open to the public. Visitors are asked to RSVP at [email protected][email protected]. (If the college closes for winter weather, the event will be rescheduled for Feb. 8).
 
The event features the release of a full-color 50th anniversary commemorative book titled, "This Bold Decision: The Story of Finger Lakes Community College." The title is a reference to the decision to create the college and is taken from the inauguration speech of the college's first president, Roy Satre.

Stay Healthy this Season
Carve out time to unwind. Keeping calm has its perks: University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health researchers found that people who meditated took two-thirds fewer sick days that those that did not. "High levels of the stress hormone Cortisol suppress your immune system "adds Dr. Tully a researcher at University of Wisconsin.
The Fix: To slow digital drain - a common stressor- step away from your devices for a few minutes every couple of hours. The beeping and pinging heighten your body's fight-or-flight response.
This health tip is brought to you by Canandaigua The Medicine Shoppe, Canandaigua, NY.
