Missing Sodus
I've found a pen-pal who has lived on the Island of Maui for 27 years. So, on those
cold, wintry days (which we won't think about right now), I can share what people in the
warmer climates are up to. (And Eileen Hooper can help out as well from Florida.) They may
not be able to mail us any The Boxer Rescue Program has two young Boxer brothers that are looking for good homes. They are both l3 months old and would be adopted together. Sometimes, if the puppy is like Sarah, one puppy at a time is plenty! The group is also looking for people who could foster parent (so to speak ) for the other dogs since there are so many looking for homes. If you are looking for a Boxer or would be interested in helping out, you can call The Genesee Valley Boxer Rescue at 7l6.748.9056 and check out the web site The e-mail address is My condolences to the Castle family for their loss. Albert Jay Castle passed away July 24 at Rochester General Hospital. Do you remember the Rose of Sharon trees I mentioned in an earlier column? Well, I've
been advised that one of Al Dobbin's trees is in bloom and the one in front with white
double blossoms is almost there. And, speaking of Sergeant Street, there's a new family
that has moved into the Savino The Sodus Library has gotten many new books for young adults to check out : How I Spent My Last Night on Earth by Todd Strasser The War in Georgia by Jerrie Oughton Of Two Minds by Carol Matas In My Enemy's House; The Adventures of the Blue Avenger by Norma Howe They sound pretty scary and full of adventure. Don't miss the Storytime at the Sodus Library on Mondays from l0:30-ll:30 And remember, everytime you go to the library, enter the kids' names in the prize drawing. There are many ways to win great prizes, and the more they read, the more they'll want to read. Reading is a great way to spend a summer afternoon.
The Williamson Library has some new books, too, including Good Night Baby Bear by Frank Asch. (We're still waiting for our Party Animals to come through the mail from Williamson. They must be acting up. ) If your kids are into Franklin, Blues Clues or Kipper, try the Nick Jr. Website for some cute coloring pages If they are into Winnie the Pooh, another site is Remember to send me your special dates, birthdates, anniversaries, etc. Fun day trips you'd like to share, special vacation places you enjoyed, or favorite recipes for summer picnics and parties. Write to me at Have a nice week and write to me. I'm getting a little homesick, so tell me what's happening in Wayne County. Copyright © 1999 |

This weekend we went to the Seneca Park Zoo. I hobbled up and down
the hills in search of the White Rhino and the Ostriches. (I asked the same question many
do - this is not a white Rhino. He looked gray to me. In reading the sign, I found that
the Rhino has a complicated name that was mispronounced by the English and ended up
becoming 'White.' The Ostriches were in an area behind the Rhino and were apparently shy
that day, so I got only a brief glimpse of them. I envied the seals and Polar bears
playing in the water. We watched them for a while, then it was back outside to the real
world. (The hot, real world! The cast comes off in a couple of weeks and it wont be any to
soon for me! )

like in the warmer states. 
house. Al paid them a visit and they had a
'guitar-playing' session. Sounds like Al and the new neighbors will have lots of fun.
During Christmas, they can have cocoa and sing Christmas Carols. (And don't forget Al's
peanut brittle - I miss it already!)
