Special requests for art supplies are welcome. Dansville ArtWorks’ new gallery space Dansville ArtWorks Inc. proudly announces the location of its permanent gallery space at 178 Main Street, Dansville—the only Main Street art gallery in Livingston County. The grand opening will be on Saturday, September 5. Building owners Randy and Susan DeMuth have operated Dansville Stationers from this space for many years. Their desire to consolidate their business into one building led to discussions with Dansville ArtWorks’ board. Mutual interests have resulted in collaboration between the two entities. The DeMuths will continue to operate Dansville Stationers and Dogwood Trading Company at 176 Main Street with the biggest selection of Vera Bradley between Corning and Buffalo, Alex and Ani, and many other “Made in the USA” products. Dansville ArtWorks Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to cultivate and enhance the visual, literary, and performing arts opportunities in the greater Dansville community. It is supported by community members and businesses, and offers art workshops for adults and children; programs, including Chalk Walk & Arts Fest; and exhibition, consignment, and performance opportunities. Tax-deductible donations are accepted at the gallery or via gofundme.com/DansvilleArtWorks. Support via goods and time/talent may be discussed with any board member or the gallery coordinator. Last but not least, area artists are encouraged to reach out to Dansville ArtWorks to become involved. For more information, contact [email protected]. —Submitted by Salome Farraro Dansville ArtWorks will create exhibit, consignment, retail, and workshop areas at the new gallery. Most exciting—when both businesses are open, the internal archway between the spaces will allow customers and visitors to easily move between Dansville ArtWorks and Dogwood Trading Company. Susan DeMuth adds, “This gallery will be a great addition to Main Street, bringing excitement and diversity to the downtown district, and it will complement our business by selling art supplies and artwork. We look forward to working with this dynamic energetic group.” The gallery will feature: 2D and 3D art exhibits, performances showcasing musical and writing talents, consigned and exhibited art sales, art supplies, and workshops in Vita’s Garden of Inspiration (named in memory of Vita Catapano Magill through a generous donation from her children). On the horizon, the gallery has plans to have open studio times and to host events for other organizations. A public reception is planned for Saturday, September 5, from 10 a.m to 12 noon. The community is invited to a 10 a.m. ribbon cutting with local dignitaries, including a representative of Senator Catharine Young’s office. The ceremony will be followed by a reception, refreshments, and music by harpist Mary Lester until 12 p.m. The gallery will remain open until 3 p.m. so that visitors to the New York State Festival of Balloons can stop by between launches. The inaugural exhibit will include artwork by Taylor Rapp, the first recipient of Dansville ArtWorks’ student art award. CHAINSAW CARVINGS by James Link Come, see our new expansion!

This year’s festival will be on Saturday and Sunday, September 26 and 27, from 10 a.m. ’til 5 p.m., at the Naples High School grounds and across the street at Memorial Town Hall, rain or shine. The Geneseo Merchants Association (GMA) and the Association for Preservation of Geneseo (APOG) will present Autumnfest & Wingfest on Saturday, September 26, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. These two events will combine this year with a variety of activities, food, and entertainment taking place on Geneseo’s Main Street and Center Street. GMA’s Autumnfest will feature hayrides down Main Street, a fall-themed photo booth, and finish off the day with the Great Pumpkin Race down Bank Street from 3 to 4 p.m., sponsored by ReMax. There will also be several vendors on the street, selling food and autumn crafts. SUNY Geneseo campus bands, dancers, and singers will be performing throughout the day in several locations on Main Street. APOG’s 2nd Annual Wingfest will take place from 12 to 3 p.m. on Center Street, featuring chicken wings from 10 different restaurants in Livingston County. Representatives from these restaurants in Avon, Mount Morris, Lakeville, and Geneseo will bring their wings to compete for the title of “Best Wings in the Valley.” For a $10 presale ticket, participants can taste these wings and vote for their favorite. During the event, there will also be a wing-eating contest. The winner of this competition will be crowned the “Champion Chicken Chomper.” Beer will be on sale for those 21 and over. All proceeds from this event will go to support the “Save the Wall” fundraiser. GMA and APOG’s Autumnfest & Wingfest will be a full day of fall fun, unlimited wings, family activities, and musical entertainment in Geneseo. Tickets for APOG’s Wingfest are available in selected Geneseo Main Street stores or online at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/1995995. For more details visit Geneseo Shops or the Association for Preservation of Geneseo. National Hunting and Fishing Days The 43rd annual National Hunting and Fishing Days will be on September 26 and 27 at the Mumford Sportsmen’s Club, 8667 Gulf Road, in beautiful Mumford, located about one mile west of the Genesee Country Museum. The two-day event is sponsored by the Livingston County Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs. National Hunting and Fishing Days is free and open to the public. Children of all ages and pets on leashes are welcome as well. Many of the events, vendors sites, and demonstrations will take place in the mowed field adjoining the Mumford Sportsmen’s Club. Proper footwear is advised. Sportsmen of all ages with a desire to explore the great New York outdoors will find a multitude of items to make their days afield more enjoyable. There will be handicapped and standard parking available on site. Off-site parking is available with free shuttle service to the event. Vendors from around the area display a wide variety of products for outdoor people. There are opportunities to shoot clay targets with a shotgun, try your hand at 3-D archery targets, or check out the latest in air rifles at the Crosman Arms shooting range. Most events are free or are offered at a modest price. All archery and shooting supplies are provided at the event. This year’s event does not offer on-site fishing. The Caledonia Fish Hatchery, founded by Seth Green 151 years ago, is about two miles away. An NYS DEC public fishing area is adjacent to the hatchery on Spring Brook Creek. Several local sportsmen’s clubs will be in attendance to provide information about their organization and activities they offer. Take the opportunity to visit the NYS DEC displays. Meet with representatives from Fish and Wildlife, Forestry, and Environmental Protection Services. There will be food vendors that can pop up a bag of kettle corn, cook you a cheeseburger, give you a sample of some spicy mustard, or treat you to the best venison hot dog you’ve ever had. Over the years the festival has showcased the finest artisans of the Finger Lakes. All of the art displays are reviewed by a jury of independent artists to insure the selections for sale are handmade and high quality. The exhibits offer a large variety of merchandise for sale on both the Memorial Town Hall and the Naples High School grounds. Local and regional musical artists and bands will perform both days, providing an assortment of rock, blues, jazz, and original music to get your feet tapping and your heart singing. Performers on Saturday include Greg Townson, White Woods, Two Hour Delay, and Bobby Henrie and the Goners; on Sunday is Old Hippies (trio), Ten Cent Howl. Mighty High and Dry, and Hard Logic. Judging for “The World’s Greatest Grape Pie Contest,” sponsored by Joseph’s Wayside Market, begins Saturday at noon. Winners will be announced and presented with trophies and checks at the end of the judging. Festivals and great food go together, and this festival has a marvelous selection of edibles to choose from. A wide variety of food vendors will offer something for everyone’s palate. And what would a grape festival be without wine? For a $10 admission, you can sample wines on sale by any of the vendors at the wine-tasting tent behind Memorial Town Hall; sealed bottles of wine will be for sale at each winery table. (Please sample moderately and keep in mind that no alcoholic beverages may be consumed on the grounds of Memorial Town Hall or the Naples High School outside the wine-tasting tent.) So make your visit a day (or two) to enjoy everything grape that the Naples Valley has to offer, and more! The festival is presented by the Naples Rotary Club. For more information, go to: www.naplesgrapefest.org. Not advertising because of no budget, or no budget because of not advertising? It’s not a riddle, but something to consider.

Many settled in Five Points, an area of Lower Manhattan infamous for its squalor, gang violence, and disease.

Take the time to view this collection… you will not be disappointed. Experience the “Wizard of Oz” at the library! By the mid-nineteenth century, an estimated 30,000 orphaned and homeless children roamed New York City. They survived by resorting to petty crime, by begging, and by selling newspapers for a nickel a piece. They slept in alleyways, in cellars, and even sewers. For protection, they joined the violent gangs of the Bowery Boys, the Dead Rabbits, and the Roach Guards. In response to this crisis, the age of orphan asylums began, culminating in one of the most improbable and audacious episodes in American history—“The Orphan Train Movement,” whose heroes undertook the rescue of these children, who had been lost to the streets and our institutions, and fought for their liberation. The program is free and open to the public. —Submitted by Judith R. Fulmer, Program Chair East Bloomfield Historical Society Your ad lasts all month long in The Lake Country Weekender!

The rhythm of it was enticing, both literally and figuratively. But this seasonal stretch of long days that dawned with the calls of phoebes, towhees, and warblers and closed curtain with the notes of thrushes and the nocturnal chorus of frogs and toads is sliding away. Since the summer solstice we lost a minute of light a day for a month. The pace of light loss accelerates and now two minutes per day is sliced off diurnal time as we reach the autumn equinox on September 21. Tiny green tree frogs and bull frogs have grown hoarse and sleepy and insects now fill the void (lest there be silence too soon). Now katydids and crickets whir, chirp, buzz, and trill. The occasional sawyer beetle adds its chaw to the humming siren of night. Honeybees stock up on liquid sweetness. True silence comes after the first hard frost. The rhythm of light versus night incites change. Like us on Facebook @ Dave’s Towing, Repair and Bait!

How they know when to return to the Little Finger Lakes, or anywhere north, is still a great mystery wrapped up in weather shifts, magnetism, and other senses scientists still don’t know about. Somehow, even the blue-gray gnatcatchers recognize this change down at the equator; they know when the northern hemisphere begins to tilt again toward the sun on its year-long, elliptical orbit. And each year their migration is monitored shows them heading further north. A Preferred Realtor® of choice providing services in the Finger Lakes Region... Cher yl Pecoraro Lic. Assoc.

GREAT FOR: HOMEOWNERS PARKS & REC ATHLETIC FIELDS GARDENERS GREENHOUSES SCHOOLS GOLF COURSES FARMERS PLAYGROUNDS NURSERIES Circadian rhythms are natural cycles life attunes itself to in places on the earth where daylight hours shift seasonally. Everything and everyone is affected, from the fungi and cyanobacteria in the soil to plants, insects, birds, and animals—like us. Despite the laggard but resultant solar cooling effect, it is actually the shortening length of daylight, more so than the falling temperatures, that signal trees to shut down their green chlorophyll factories, seal off their petiole stems, drop leaves. The low angles of UV and ultraviolet light, at the far ends of the light spectrum, inform dragonflies to troop together and prepare for their migration, much like monarch butterflies do. ...and I made it! Right now, even as earth moves a bit closer to the sun on its circular journey around it, earth also begins a slow tilt away from the sun, chugging slowly toward the shortest hours of daylight during the winter solstice. The equinox is time to take in the hush from the tasks of summer and welcome back the darkness that call us to rest. Despite this temporary balance of light vs. dark in our lives, the 24-hour-day is not an exact clock in relation to the actual spin of the earth—a speed which has us moving at about 1,000 miles per hour. And time does change—large earthquakes like the one in Japan in 2011 actually caused an estimated increase in our spinning speed by about 1.8 milliseconds. For so many of us, life does seem to speed ahead at an accelerating rate. Karen Thompson Walker’s fictional novel, The Age of Miracles, depicts a story of life on earth where the spin is not speeded up (as it seems to be doing in reality), but slowed to such a degree that darkness and light last days and weeks instead of hours. People become fiercely divided over whether to stick to natural time or continue to use the traditional 24-hour clock. It’s an interesting notion, natural time versus clock time, one we northerners adjust to month by month and season by season. Think about what a rare calamity of planetary measures causes leaves to change color and squirrels to gather acorns. Think about it! Think about what an anomaly it is that you can adhere to a planet spinning so fast while orbiting the sun, while at the same time wobbling on an invisible axis that makes things as you know them—ripening apples, spiders laying egg sacks before their lives expire, luscious loads of fall squashes—all possible. It’s enough to cause you to want to hang on tight, linger over a long sensual lick of freshly tapped honey, slow down, and make a moment last.
