Tree of Lights Tradition to Endure at Thompson

While COVID-19 restrictions will prevent a public tree-lighting ceremony this year, the Thompson Health Guild is determined to make sure the pandemic does not disrupt one of its most treasured traditions.

This holiday season, the guild’s Tree of Lights will once again be featured prominently in front of UR Medicine Thompson Health’s skilled-nursing facility, the M.M. Ewing Continuing Care Center on Parrish Street in Canandaigua.

Each year, community members may sponsor lights on the tree, in memory of or in honor of loved ones. Proceeds benefit the programs and initiatives funded by the guild, which is Thompson’s auxiliary and which had to cancel many of its fundraising events this year.

Lights are a minimum donation of $5 each. Written acknowledgments are sent to those honored or to the families of those memorialized. To sponsor a light, visit www.ThompsonHealth.com/Tree. For more information, call (585) 396-6155.

Stroke Support Group to Meet Dec. 3, via Zoom

CANANDAIGUA - UR Medicine Thompson Health’s Stroke Support Group will host an online meeting, via Zoom video conferencing, on Thursday, Dec. 3, at 1 p.m.

The group is open to individuals who have experienced a stroke, as well as their loved ones and caregivers. The facilitator is stroke-certified registered nurse Sarah Gallagher, the stroke coordinator at F.F. Thompson Hospital. To sign up for the Dec. 3 Zoom meeting, email [email protected]. Call (585) 396-6965 for more information.

F.F. Thompson Hospital is a New York State Department of Health-designated Stroke Center and has received the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Get With The Guidelines® Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award. The award recognizes the hospital’s commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally accepted, research-based guidelines.

Fun Fact from Wine Folly

Drinking red wine in small doses is better for you than not drinking at all!

It might come as a surprise, but several human trial studies have shown moderate red wine consumption to be better for you than not drinking. Why? The antioxidants found in red wine lower incidences of cardiovascular disease, mortality, and type-2 diabetes. Of course, if you drink more than you’re supposed to, the benefits are replaced by increased health risks. So, do yourself a favor, drink red wine in moderation.

Interview with Shannon Brock, Owner of Silver Thread Vineyard

vintnerproject.com

Driving up NYS Route 414 parallel to Seneca Lake, you might miss the turn for Silver Thread Vineyard if you’re not looking closely. Nestled down a gravel road on a hillside facing the region’s largest lake, Silver Thread Vineyard is surrounded by grapevines that seem to bow toward the sun’s reflection on the blue waters.

Here Shannon Brock, her husband Paul, and their small team make some of the most compelling wines in the Finger Lakes. Taking in the views from their A-frame winery, it’s easy to see where they find inspiration. (from Vintner Project).
