Missing Sodus
By Melissa White

gardenThings have been pretty busy this past week. (You have to get as much gardening in as you can before it gets too hot and muggy.) Speaking of gardening, Defisher's greenhouse has been busy. The greenhouse opened on May 7 and they were sold out of geraniums by Memorial Day. Must be a geranium year. Char said they are having a season like no other. She's been busy with the greenhouse, working at the school, being a Mom and going to school to get her Teachers Assistant Certificate...you go, girl!

The Sodus sixth graders made their trip to Stella Maris this past week, I'm sure they had a great time. (My son waited all this time to go and because of the move, didn't get to. But he had a great time on the Cooperstown fifth grade trip.)

Speaking of School, everyone is getting ready for Fair Day, which will take place Friday, June 18. This year's theme will be Tapestry of Arts. If you have anything you'd like to have added to the poolcolumn about Fair Day please send me an e-mail. (I would show up all dressed up with wild, funny-colored hair and a crazy outfit, but they all quickly adjusted to me. Gosh, those wigs can be itchy. No wonder the kids never want to wear them for Halloween!) Have a good time!

The 18th will be a busy day for the Hooper family as well. Doug and Eileen will be closing on their house in Sodus and then it's off to Florida. Along with the usual packing and stress, Brian had his tonsils removed early Wednesday morning at Newark Hospital and, at Sodus Hospital, Eileen's mom, Betty, had surgery on her knee. Even Sandy, the family's miniature Schnauzer, had stitches removed on Monday. Good luck and a speedy recovery to all. (Remember Brian, you can still lift boxes.)

Don't forget the registration for the summer reading programs will be coming up at the end of the month. Sodus registration will be Monday, June 28. The Williamson registration will be on Monday, June 21. We always looked forward to registration and getting our packages of neat things.

At the Williamson Library on Wednesday, June 16, Barry Chase will speak about his experiences as kid & pailsa Wayne County Sheriff's Deputy and his nine years as a N.Y.S. Trooper. The program will be from noon to 1 p.m. in the program room on the lower level of the library. Delicious lunches are served, but you must register if you wish to have lunch. Please call 589-2048 by Monday night. The cost is $2.

The Lennox family went to a Redwings Baseball game the other night, they are true baseball fans!

Carol Garland of the Sodus Free Library has informed me that they have received many new books provided by a Federal LSTA CyberTrain Grant. The new titles include:

Bad Software: What to do when Software fails

Online Family: Your guide to Fun and Discovery in Cyberspace

Buying a Computer for Dummies

Parenting Online

The Best Net for Moms and Dads

The Parent's Pocket Guide to Kids and Computers

The Macintosh Bible and PC Upgrade and Repair Simplified

They sound great and informative. Thanks Carol. (Enjoy your computers. If you're like me, you have to depend on your kids to tell you how they work.)

Thanks to everyone who has sent me information to add to the column. It is truly appreciated.(I also appreciated the information about the Newark Town Board meeting and the School Board meeting at the Newark High School. Unfortunately, it was too late for that week's column.)

Please keep in touch and keep me informed. If you have something fun you'd like to share, please write to me

I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Have a nice week and stay cool.
