November-December 2013 ONTARIO COUNTY Volume 15 #6 November-December 2013 ONTARIO COUNTY Volume 15 #6 Atwater Park: A larger part of the Public Square, Atwater Park has served the public in many different ways. Many of the very first county fairs were held here.5 In 1844, the new Whig political party built a long cabin headquarters on the park site where it promoted the successful presidential campaign of William Henry Harrison.6 On at least two occasions, the integrity of the Atwater Park area was nearly compromised as a result of the growing need for space by the county government and the US Postal Service. Early in 1957, the Board of Supervisors considered building a county office building in the park area. A quarter of a century later, the City of Canandaigua proposed that part of Atwater Park be used to expand parking for the Post Office. Both the city and the county were interested in keeping the Postal Service in the downtown area.7 Ultimately, the Canandaigua Post Office moved to a facility on Eastern Boulevard. In 1993, Ontario County undertook a $150,000 restoration project designed to improve the area around the bandstand. The entire project was funded by a federal historic landscape preservation grant.8 Overall, the Atwater Park section of Public Square continues to look, and be used by the public, in much of the same way as it was when Oliver Phelps deeded it to the county. Canandaigua Inn Park: Also a remaining section of the historic Public Square, Canandaigua Inn Park has been largely unchanged since it became county property. The area in front of the old Canandaigua Inn (and now the police station) has always been a great place for visitors to stroll and to appreciate the central fountain which has been modified throughout the years. The only other additions have been landscaping and a historical marker near Main Street. Gannett Hill Park: Credited for founding and/or expanding newspaper companies such as The Democrat and Chronicle and the USA Today, newspaper mogul Frank Gannett was a prominent figure in the Rochester and Western New York Region. As a youth, Gannett worked in the very fields which are now wildlife refuges and grasslands within the county park. Gannett Hill takes its name from the fact that his parents once farmed a good portion of the hilltop. The owner of the park site itself was actually Llewlyn C. Watkins. It is important to note that the Gannett family property has never been a part of the park – the park was named after the Gannett family due to its history of farming and Frank Gannett’s distinction. Aside from the Public Square, the Gannett Hill area was a leading candidate for the county’s first park. In 1916 a group of Boy Scouts from the City of Canandaigua hiked Gannett Hill to camp as guests of Irving B. Wilson who owned 300 acres at the top. This ‘first annual’ hike received a great deal of coverage and soon tourists were being encouraged to drive up the hill.9 By 1963, Bernice M. Watkins, widow of Llewelyn C. Watkins, was anxious to sell the property to the county. Through the assistance of state aid, the Board of Supervisors approved the acquisition of the land.10 Initial development included the improvement of access roads, restroom facilities, picnic tables and the first pavilions. In 1967, Supervisors approved the construction of a four-million gallon reservoir pond on the site. The “jump off” site was also improved with a retaining wall.11 It has been almost fifty years since the purchase of the park site. Today, it serves more than fifty thousand visitors each year.

This has been very successful the last couple years and brings everyone into the holiday spirit. The residents just love it. So come join in the fun at OCHF. Tammy Voeltz, Health Facility Slips, Trips and Falls We have once again entered the season of “slips, trips and falls”. This category alone is listed as the cause of 1 in 5 of all injuries in Ontario County and accounts for 1/3 of all of our Workers’ Comp claims. Slips, trips and falls incidents are the leading cause of accidental injury all across the country and cause 15% of accidental deaths. This is second only to deaths caused by motor vehicle crashes. In a slip, trip or fall incident we injure our wrists, elbows, shoulders, ankles, knees and hips. Over a million workers are injured by slips, trips and falls and this type of injury accounts for 15% of all accidental death. Slips, trips and falls are only second to motor vehicles as the cause of all fatalities. Slips, trips and falls account for 17% of all disabling injuries and most important almost all incidents could have been prevented. It sounds simple but if we were more aware of our surroundings and followed a few simple tips, we could dramatically improve the safety of all employees. So what are these simple safety tips? First, recognize the major factors that cause slips, trips and falls. Second, we need to be familiar with strategies to reduce the possibility of these accidents. Some facts are that falls from the same level are more frequent but less severe and falls from elevated heights occur less frequent but are more severe.

    ROCHESTER HISTORY Edited by Joseph W. Barnes, City Historian Vol. XXXVIII AprilandJuly, 1976 Nos. 2 and 3 The Arson Years Fire Protection, Fire lnsuhnce, and Fire Politics 1908-1910 By Joseph W. Barnes The human fascination with fires and fire-fighting endures through the years. If tragic losses of life and property are still a serious concern, despite modern building codes and fire­ fighting methods, only a small leap of imagination is needed to appreciate how frightening fire could be in the years when even the downtown sections of cities were largely wooden; when spark-generating coal was the major fuel for all purposes; and when hundreds of hay-filled barns were tucked behind houses and commercial establishments. As in other American cities, these conditions prevailed in turn-of-the­ century Rochester. A legendary kerosene lamp started the fire which leveled Chicago in 1871. Thirty or forty years later such lamps were still common in barns, and gas lights could still be found in homes. The incandesccn t lamp was replacing gas, but the rapid introduction of electricity created another hazard until principles of safe wiring were learned.
