December 23, 2014 Canandaigua Connected ENewsletter
  My nine year old decided to make each of her siblings (and her parents) a homemade potpourri type "bag" to put in the bed at nighttime as a special little holiday spirit type gift. Lavender, you know, is hailed as a sleep aid scent. This is what everyone else got in their sacs. My sac was different. So, in the middle of the night I wake to a distinct feeling of sand in the bed. Hmmmm. Reassuring myself that it was nowhere near beach season, I fall back asleep and dreamed of Casa de Pasta. I woke in the morning to find that my sleep sac (made of paper towel, mind you) had burst open to reveal that my potpourri mixture was GARLIC POWDER, OREGANO, and BASIL! Apparently, the lavender had run out? When I asked why I was chosen to be the recipient of the ad hoc mixture, she says, "You always say to be grateful for what you get, Mom - even if it wasn't what you were expecting." Hmmm. From the mouths of babes....Merry Spicy Christmas everyone!
Blue Skies, Donna Bennett

Wish Program Benefits from Calendar Sale
The M.M. Ewing Continuing Care Center was chosen from among nearly 100 submissions to be featured in the 2015 Caring Canines calendar, highlighting animals that live and work in long-term care facilities around the country.
 Smokey the cat appears in the calendar and is shown visiting a resident of M.M. Ewing who was receiving end-of-life care and wished to spend time with cats. Smokey and other animals in the calendar show the roles dogs and cats play as companions, mood elevators, physical therapy aids, memory triggers, and friends for the elderly residing in long-term care facilities nationwide. A limited number of copies are available at the front desk of M.M. Ewing, at 350 Parrish St. in Canandaigua, in return for a $15 donation to the Sharon M. Pepper Wish Upon a Star program.

FLCC's Secret to Finding You a Job
In early 2015, Finger Lakes Community College will hold three short-term training programs that teach high-demand advanced manufacturing skills. The college worked closely with employers to ensure students had skills those employers wanted in new hires. To date, most graduates of FLCC advanced manufacturing programs have had job offers even before finishing the program. Graduates have ranged in age from those recently out of high school to workers over 50. 
Anyone looking for a steady job or a career change is invited to a free information session on Thursday, Jan. 8, at the FLCC main campus, 3325 Marvin Sands Drive. The morning session runs 9 to 11 a.m.; the evening session runs 6 to 8 p.m. Space is limited. Reserve a seat at (585) 785-1906.
The three programs are as follows:
ˇ Mechatronics Technology, a 12-week class in mechanical and electrical skills, starting Feb. 16 in Victor.
ˇ Advanced Manufacturing Operator, a 12-week class in manufacturing fundamentals, starting March 2 at FLCC in Canandaigua.
ˇ Advanced Manufacturing Machinist, a six-month course in high-level machining, starting March 16 at ITT Goulds Pumps in Seneca Falls.
