Thompson Schedules Walk-in Flu Clinic for Black Friday
UR Medicine Thompson Health will hold a walk-in flu clinic on Friday, November 25 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Canandaigua Emergency Squad, 233 North Pearl Street.
Administered to those 9 and older at this clinic, the standard 2022-2023 vaccine provides protection against four flu virus strains. There also is a high-dose flu vaccine for those 65 and older. This contains additional antigen designed to create a stronger immune response for the recipient. It is available in limited quantities, while supplies last.
Community members are asked to please wear masks to the clinic, as Thompson abides by CDC guidelines requiring masks in all locations where healthcare is being delivered.
The flu shots are free to patients with insurance (patients must present an insurance card at the time of the visit). The self-pay cost for those without insurance is $40, and $75 for the high-dose vaccine (cash, check, MasterCard or Visa).

Historic Finger Lakes Winery Features Fracktivist Film “Blowout: Who’s Next?”
Hemlock Lake, NY- O-Neh-Da Vineyard will remain open for extended hours on Saturday December 3, 2022 for the debut Finger Lakes screening of the film “BLOWOUT: Who’s Next? Dispatches from the Frontlines of Frackland” (www.blowoutthemovie.com). The Tasting Room will open for regular wine tastings and holiday shopping at Noon. Extended hours will be from 6 – 9 pm for the film screening and Discussion with the Film Director.
Directed by Hope Forpeace, and starring among other victims of the fossil fuel extraction industry Dimock’s own Ray Kemble, the film exposes the ongoing catastrophes and destruction wrought on local people who are unfortunate to live and work near fossil fuel extraction operations. James Cromwell provides narration for the film and has personal experience in the Hudson Valley of New York resisting fossil fuel extraction projects.
AK Productions (akproductions.tv) of Santa Cruz, CA produced and released the film in the fall of 2017. Directed by Hope Forpeace ([email protected]), the film chronicles the compelling dramas of ordinary people downfield from frack sites who continue to endure great tragedy. Her work can be seen on YouTube @HopeForPeaceNow.
This special Director’s Screening at O-Neh-Da Vineyard is open to the general public and provides a rare opportunity to interact in person with the film director and a battle-tested fracktivist, Ray Kemble. Following the screening, Hope and Ray will be available for questions and discussion on the film and ongoing issues related to their personal experiences.
Premium Finger Lakes wine, wine slushies, OSB Ciderworks cider, many NA Adult beverages, grilled sandwiches, soups and more will be available for purchase throughout the film screening. This is a 21-and-over event and there is a $5 cover charge to help offset operating expenses of the film series.
O-Neh-Da Vineyard is “America’s oldest premium winery you never heard of,” celebrating 150 years since founding in 1872 by abolitionist Bishop Bernard J. McQuaid. During the fight to make New York State “Frack-Free,” Will Ouweleen, Vintner for O-Neh-Da Vineyard released a limited series of premium Finger Lakes wines entitled “No Frackin’ Way Red,” “No Frackin’ Way White,” and “No Frackin’ Way Blush” which he sent to then-Governor Cuomo, days before the Fracking Ban was announced by the Cuomo Administration. Ouweleen and 25 other Finger Lakes wineries converted operation in 2015 to 100% solar-power, winning the “Solar Champion of America” award for the region.
For more information on the event please contact Will Ouweleen, Vintner at 585.734.7324 and email [email protected]. For background information on O-Neh-Da Vineyard and associated brands, please visit PureWineOnline.com

Amaryllis and Paperwhites
At this time of the year many stores stock kits to grow amaryllis or paperwhite plants at home. They come equipped with everything you need but water. You get the bulb, pot, and growing medium. If you want them to bloom in time for Christmas, you may want to plant them now. Read More.
Choosing an Artificial Christmas Tree
If you have been looking for a new artificial Christmas tree, you probably already know that there is a huge range of available products. Read More.
White Sweet Potatoes
Not all sweet potatoes are orange. Some are white with the most common varieties of Boniato or batata or Cuban. Orange sweet potatoes, like they sound, have a more sugary taste than russet or other classic white potatoes. The white sweet potato bridges the gap. It is a bit less moist and sweet plus somewhat more granular. While they bear fewer nutrients than the orange type, they are still healther than an Idaho. So, if you are looking for a sweet potato pie but in a different color, the white sweet potato won’t quite fit the bill. That being said, there is a recipe for that very dessert at the end of this article. Read More.
