December 22, 2015 Finger Lakes Connected ENewsletter
In the spirit of the holidays, I would like to share some information about a family from our community who is in need of support. Michelle Woodworth is a friend, neighbor and tenant of mine who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer November '14 and it has now metastasized to her diaphragm. This has developed so swiftly and their family is in great need of help. She is an amazing woman who is married with four children, worked full time, and was very active with Boy Scout Troop 37 and New Covenant Baptist Church. Her oldest child graduated from CA last year, two are currently at CA and one is in Middle School.
 
It is not my normal practice to reach out with these requests, but this family deserves some cheer and tidings of comfort and joy. It is presumed that this sweet woman will choose to stay at home for the duration of her life, which is nearing the end. Please email me if you'd like to be put on the dinner preparation rotation or if you'd like their address to send something. Any assistance you could offer to this humble family would be so deeply appreciated. They are so very grateful.
 
Merry Christmas,

FLCC graduates one mechatronics class, opens another
  
Zach Telga was in the car on his way to a ceremony to celebrate his graduation from the Finger Lakes Community College mechatronic technology training program when his cell phone rang.
  
The call was from a prospective employer who was so eager to talk about job opportunities for Telga that an interview was set up for that very afternoon, Monday, Dec. 14. It would have to wait, of course, until Telga received his completion certificate, posed for photos and enjoyed a slice of cake with his supporters in the FLCC Victor Campus Center ceremony.
  
FLCC graduates like Telga are proof of the demand for skilled workers in the regional manufacturing industry. The 12-week program he completed teaches basic electrical and mechanical fundamentals common to many companies and provides training in industry certifications in soldering and safety.
  
The next class starts in February. For more information, contact Andrea Badger at (585) 785-1906 or email to Andrea.Badger@flcc.edu.

Healthy Eating Series Begins Jan. 6
A six-part series called "Lifestyle Medicine & Nutrition" kicks off on Wednesday, Jan. 6, with a free information session offered from 2:30 to 4 p.m. in the ground floor conference rooms of the Constellation Center for Health and Healing at UR Medicine's Thompson Hospital, 350 Parrish St. in Canandaigua. The series is about addressing the causes of disease, rather than just treating the symptoms, with a whole-food, plant-based diet. It will feature Dr. Kerry Graff of Lake Country Medicine in Canandaigua and Linda Rowsick, a registered dietitian and certified dietitian-nutritionist at Thompson.
The remaining five classes will all be held on Wednesdays, Jan. 13 through Feb. 10, again from 2:30 to 4 p.m.  The cost for the five remaining classes is $100. To register for the series (including the Jan. 6 information session), call Thompson's Wellness Department at (585) 396-6111 by Jan. 4. Space is limited.
  
Gentle Yoga Series Starts Jan. 6
Get a total body-mind workout during a Gentle Yoga series beginning Wed, Jan. 6, at UR Medicine's F.F. Thompson Hospital, 350 Parrish St., Canandaigua. Instructed by Rick Lynch of the Finger Lakes Yoga Center, classes will be held every Wednesday from noon to 1:15 p.m. in the Thompson Conference Center on the hospital's ground floor. The last day of the series will be Feb. 24. Gentle Yoga  is designed to improve posture, strength and flexibility.
