SHARI CARDINALE BRUZEE Fast forward to post college life, while living on the lake I will shave that morning prior to going out and of course get the worst razor burn imaginable. I like to joke about it because if you’re ahead of the joke, people won’t laugh as much, but it is a constant fear in the back of my mind ESPECIALLY being a single woman in Skip bouncing from Groupon to her mid-20s. I’ve tried different shaving creams, soaps, and even lotion and conditioner hoping it would help Groupon to get your hair removal cheap give a closer shave. Nothing helped, and my consistent razor burn/nicks had become a serious pain and I and being sorry you didn’t get the best couldn’t take it anymore. I’ve gone down the avenue of creating my own sugar wax that I found on Pinterest results. Call me today for experienced and tried doing that to myself. Needless to say, that was a TERRIBLE life choice. I knew I had to change something because the constant stubble, was becoming too much for me to handle. That’s when I met Shari. hair removal with the best equipment AND the lowest prices! I’ve always been curious with the process of laser hair removal and I just figured that it was extremely painful and too expensive for me. I was completely wrong. With my consultation I was very nervous, worried that I wasn’t going to be able to handle it and that it wouldn’t work for me. Shari relieved all of my fears and 315-781-0041 explained the entire process in scientific detail. While looking at my legs she said I was the perfect candidate and we scheduled my first session the following week. sharisdermaspa.com Here it was, the day of my first session. My anxiety was through the roof, had I made the right decision? I was fearful that if I got my expectations up, I wouldn’t be able to handle it if the process didn’t work. As soon as I walked into Shari’s office, my fears and anxiety were gone. Shari is one of the sweetest women I have ever met, and just being around her makes you feel beautiful and helps boost your self esteem knowing that she is going to to everything to make sure you are the best version of yourself. My legs took around 45 minutes and although there were some areas that were a little painful (ankles, knees) overall it was a lot less painful than razor burn, or waxing. Now less than 5 miles from I saw results immediately after my session. Each session removes 15–30% Geneva & Canandaigua of the hair. This is only my first session and Shari said I will need 8 sessions. I was ecstatic that I was having such powerful results so quickly. My skin also just looks better and feels better. We are very fortunate in this area to have Shari right here in our back 2473 State Route 5 & 20 yard. She has helped me so much already and I am blessed to have found her Stanley, NY 14561 when I did. I can’t wait for my next appointment and my question for you is, why not? Start now.

How Bed and Breakfasts Got Started? BY: ROSSANA SHANKLIN, OWNER & HOST, THE ROSE PETAL INN, GENEVA, NY We all have traveled in many different places, whether close or far. We all have experienced different types of accommodations, and many times have returned to the same place again. And, many of us, have experienced staying at a Bed & Breakfast somewhere in the world. Extending hospitality goes back to the beginning of time, when traveling strangers would arrive somewhere and need a place to stay for the night. So, when did B&B start? We have to go back a few hundred years, back to England, where in the 1700s traveling was very different. You could not just get in your car, turn your GPS on, push “go” and poof, arrive at your destination. Back then, traveling was mostly for business and one did not go very far, especially with the mode of transportation. They usually stopped at inns, where travelers could get a hot meal, a place for their horses, and a bed. So, when did they actually become a Bed & Breakfast as we know them today? After World War II, in the UK, many foreigners needed a place architectural heritage became very important, and preserving those properties that where they could stop for the night, similar to the stagecoaches days. Locals were considered historical sites greatly influenced B&Bs we know today. would gladly open their homes, and treat them more as a family member Now, for the most part, Bed and Breakfasts have broken away from the traditional than a stranger. It slowly spread, as transportation got easier and better, and accommodation with the bare necessities. They are often located in absolutely faster. With transportation, came actual small hotels, always located near an beautiful homes, lovingly renovated and decorated with taste, reminiscent of a time arrival spot (maybe a train station), because people realized that one could gone by. They offer luxury accommodations, personal touches, pampering, warm travel and see new sites and stay in nice places. hospitality and amazing meals. Coupled with cleanliness and comfort that is second Bed and Breakfasts were then very popular in Europe and slowly became to none, today’s Bed and Breakfasts are completely different from the inns where known in the United States as quaint places to stay at. You had to be open stagecoaches used to stop. minded, as for the most part, bathrooms were shared, rooms were small, minimal amenities were offered, but prices were cheap. The low prices attracted travelers with less income, but enabled them to take vacations.

The one thing to remember is that, hosts, and a hearty breakfast. So, in the 1980s, it slowly started to take root here in the U.S. They were not expensive places to stay, but they offered that just like back in the early days of traveling, warm hospitality transcends time. personal touch that has become so popular among many travelers today.

Growing Community on Cayuga’s West Shore BY: VERA GILLILAND-MCLAFFERTY, OWNER, BUSY BEE MARKET Evoking memories from small New England general stores and seeing a need for a small grocery in the neighborhood is what sparked the concept. But what started as a simple grocery with coffee and baked goods quickly grew to a full-service café offering breakfast, lunch and dinner. With live music on Sundays, groceries and local gifts, vacation cottages, kayak rentals and yoga classes, who needs to leave Sheldrake? And don’t forget the wine! The Busy Bee wine shop, which also opened last year, highlights the award-winning wines of the Finger Lakes. Woman-owned and operated, The Busy Bee Market is heading into its fourth season this Spring and welcomes people to come and enjoy all there is to offer. With a past rooted in history at this spot, The Busy Bee is named after the ferry that once ran from this busy port-of-call. Captain James V. Quick ran the Busy Bee from approximately 1886 to 1914 (three years before women could Especially in this age of social media, politics and sprawl, there’s something vote in New York State) for daily trips across Cayuga Lake to King Ferry to special about a place that feels like a neighborhood gathering place.

Today, ferry boards 7930 County Road 153 from the scuttled vessel are part of the Bee’s décor.

The ever-growing draft beer and cider selection is all from upstate New York (mostly within 50 miles) and of course the wine – the Bee is all about Finger Lakes wines.

The Bee sees many folks on a weekend getaway from Binghamton, Elmira and Rochester. Cyclists also have found a great stop at the Bee on their treks around the lake as have many Canadian and international visitors coming to the many wineries, distilleries and colleges in our area.
Bike to the Bee for lunch, boat in for ice cream or groceries and get a picnic meal for your hike or take-out for a summer concert at Taughannock. Stop between wineries for a Busy BEE LT, or rent a cottage and stay all weekend. While you’re kayaking, eating ice cream, listening to live music and having a cold local draft beer with your dinner on the deck, you’ll forget that you’re only 10 minutes from T-Burg or 30 minutes from Ithaca or Seneca Falls. Come for a quick coffee or stay all day. You don’t have to travel far to have a mini vacation at the Bee.

Geneva BID Ready for Summer
The Geneva Business Improvement District is gearing up for an CRUISIN’ NIGHT 2017 exciting Spring and Summer with plenty to keep it busy. After wrapping up a productive 2016 that yielded 13 new businesses in the Downtown District, the BID turns its attention to providing networking and informational seminars for its members and other interested parties, as well as keeping the good things going. New for 2017 BID will be rolling out a new member benefit program called “Coffee and Company”. These morning seminars are information sessions designed to provide BID members with tools to help them in a range of ways. The first session will be held on Tuesday, May 2 at 8:00am in the Geneva Housing Authority (41 Lewis Street). The focus of this seminar will be resources for small businesses. This event will bring together a number of local agencies whose services may be beneficial for small businesses in the area. Anything from start up to existing businesses are welcome, as well as anyone interested in opening a business. Participating agencies, such as Workforce Development, the SBA, the City of Geneva, and Ontario County 18th Annual Cruisin’ Night and Block Party IDA, will do short presentations on their services. If you plan to attend The BID’s next stop is the . July 28 starting at 5:00pm. please contact the BID Office at (315) 789-0102 or [email protected] This long standing event returns to downtown to preregister. This is a free event. Light breakfast fare and coffee provided. The BID would not be able to pull off this Geneva tradition year after year without the help and dedication of the volunteers on the Cruisin’ Night COFFEE & COMPANY committee. The committee masterminded another successful event in 2016 with an outstanding number of participants, quality vendors, and lively entertainment. With the weather a bit warm attendance was down, but that didn’t stop the night from cruisin’ on! Each year the committee and additional event volunteers accommodate more than 250 cars and more than 3,000 festival-goers, making it Geneva’s largest annual event. In 2016 the event raised close to $15,000, which is circulated back into downtown in the form of beautification efforts such as flower beds and hanging baskets. 2016 will be hard to top, but the committee is hard at work planning for July’s event and working with many local bands, vendors and organizations to bring you a night full of fun and entertainment. They plan to have five bands on three different stages, food vendors on Seneca and Castle streets, as well as the Kids Corner returning to Scott LaFaro Drive. For the past two years, the committee has worked with Thrive To Survive, a local non-profit raising money to fight cancer, to play host for the annual Car Smash, which has certainly become a fan favorite! Cruisin’ Night offers so much in one night you won’t want to miss out this year!

Red Jacket grows also a few lesser known fruits like donut peaches, quince, gooseberries and currants. The Farm Store (957 Canandaigua Road, Geneva) is also packed with hundreds of locally produced goods and gifts, along with Red Jackets own fruit butters, apple sauce and homemade jam. The Farm Store team has vast knowledge of Red Jacket’s own fruit and products, as well the other products and the producers from the Finger Lakes that are offered in the store. Local is their specialty! Red Jacket also has a new on-site bakery. Fruit pies, cookies and cider doughnuts are among the tempting treats made daily. Recently Red Jacket has become a member of the Finger Lakes Cheese Alliance, now offering a large selection of local cheeses from the Finger Lakes. Also Red Jacket has become active members of the Finger Lakes Culinary Bounty, a collaborative food network that helps educate consumers about locally produced foods and beverages. Red Jacket continues to be active in the community, sponsoring a number of local events. Annually Red Jacket holds their Fall Fest in early October, to celebrate the fall harvest. Fun for the whole family! Red Jacket is an environmentally-conscious business focusing on sustainable practices, renewable energy. The orchard also has a choice selection of award- winning, cold pressed 100% fruit juices. The pressing facility is 100% wind and solar run.
