Charlotte & Greater Rochester Spring 2015

Rochester
Charlotte
Tracing the origins of the land now called Charlotte is like following
an old game trail through ancient forest. The tracks, crushed turf and
broken twigs are gone but an impression on the forest itself has been left.
A shallow furrow, patches of exposed mud and a narrow line cut through
the undergrowth visible only when directly on the trail then vanishing in
the seeming chaos a pace to the left or right.
Charlotte was part of the hunting grounds of the Seneca Nation. The
marsh and lowland woods near the great lake of Ontario provided game
in abundance and fish populated the river and the fresh waters of what is
but a part of the vast inland sea of the Great Lakes.
Perhaps the first European to see the area was interpretor and explorer
tienne Brl who mapped the Genesse River valley during his years spent
living among the native peoples at the behest of renowned explorer and
benefactor Samuel de Chmplain. Brl achieved notoriety after betraying
Champlain and France to the English. The long time frontiersman met
his death at the hands of his own adopted Huron people in 1643.
Charlottes future didnt rest in the hands of the French, and as England
slowly conquered New France, a nascent United States started to fill the
space formally occupied by purely European powers. In 1788, a mere
year after the signing of the Constitution, the Mill Yard Tract was created.
This parcel was purchased from the Senecas by New England businessmen
Oliver Phelps and Nathanial Gorham. The lake shore portion of the
parcel would grow into Charlotte. The beginning of the village was with
a single hut. This modest structure was built on the west bank of the
river by William Hincher and his son who were later joined by his wife
and seven daughters. The village proper was laid out in 1792 by Colonel
Robert Troup who created single acre lots of the now defunct Mill Yard
Tract. Once divided, the whole area was named Charlotteburgh after his
daughter. These settlements preceded the founding of Rochester.
The early 1800s saw the growth of Charlotte as a port town in the vibrant
trade network spreading through the Great Lakes. Frontier merchant,
George Clinton Latta, ran a fleet of sleek squared sailed schooners from
Charlotte. This trade was seriously disrupted when war broke out in
1812. The threat of English naval raids coming from Canada was so
severe shipping had to be diverted miles inland to Carthage Landing
(near the Veterans Memorial Bridge). Several encounters occurred at or
near Charlotte with Royal Navy forces actually landing in June 1813 to
take supplies from the local people. Later efforts were met first by the
ships under Commodore Issac Chauncey and later the canons of local
militia units.
The end of the war lead to a true flowering of the lake trade and in 1820
no less than 316 ships visited the port. To accommodate the increased
shipping, the first light house for the port was built in 1821. However,
the lake trade couldnt compete with the Erie Canal and later railroad
lines.
The rebound and reinvention of Charlotte came after the Civil War. The
schooners and heavy limbed sailors and dock workers of the previous era
gave way to vacationers and excursion steamers as the port transitioned
into a summer resort. Leaving behind the summer heat to enjoy the cool
lake air, people flocked to the small port and the Genesee Yacht Club was
hence established in 1874.
Over the years, Charlotte has embraced its new role offering a sandy
beach front and bustling park along with several eateries near the
lake. Rochesterians will find local favorites like Italian food from Mr.
Dominics On the Lake. Cheeburger Cheeburgers famed one pound
burger beckons along with sushi from California Rollin II. Savory steaks,
BBQ and seafood can be found at LDR Char Pit, Nolas BBQ and
Pelicans Nest Restaurant respectively.
Finally, there is the Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse. Dating from 1822,
the 40-foot octagonal tower now stands as the last original lighthouse on
Lake Ontario. The site now houses a museum and offers a commanding
view of the Port of Rochester. The lighthouse serves as a direct link to
Charlottes past while offering an enviable view of its present.

LDR CHAR PIT
A taste from Above!
I grew up in Western New York just south of Rochester

in the village of Geneseo. The big summer outing at
least once a week was a trip to the local hamburger
stand. The whole family would pile into the car and
off we would go to our hamburger joint. These
summer trips created endless summer memories filled
with laughter, familiar friends and faces, and of course
good eats. Over the years many of these places have
disappeared, but fortunately today there are still a few
places around. One recent hot day last summer, my
family & I decided to head up to Ontario Beach Park
in Charlotte for some swimming. It would be an
understatement to say we were delighted to find LDR
Char Pit in Charlotte. This is a neighborhood gem, a
place for visiting old friends, exchange some
neighborhood gossip and of course to enjoy some
delicious summer eats.
Original owner, Russ, and his brother opened the
LDR Char Pit in 1945 after they returned home from
World II. Since then it has been a local favorite
gathering place to enjoy a wide variety of food, and a
place for friends and family to come together. Current
owners, Lou and Steve, plan to keep the classic menu
and add some new items while expanding the busy
summer hours.
The LDR Char Pit is a classic all-American diner
offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner. A true jewel in
the Rochester area for its wonderful service, varied
menu, great values, down-home atmosphere and
more. Dont miss a visit to LDR Char Pit. Breakfast
served all-day at LDR cant be beat. Stop in for a Blue
Plate or try one of the chef specials!

Before
After
In 1979, Dan & Bill Brothers opened Brothers Collision &

Mechanical. Thats right, theyre brothers and what better name
to use than BROTHERS COLLISION. What else were they
going to call the place?
Their vision for a familyowned collision repair shop that
exceeded the expectations of their customers became a reality
overnight. They soon moved from their modest threebay
shop to a stateoftheart shop on Lake Avenue in Charlotte
equipped with the latest collision repair equipment.
In 1998, the Brothers launched the mechanical side of their
business to meet the total car care needs of their customers.
With todays sophisticated computerdriven vehicles, collisions
very often affect mechanical functioning, and now Brothers is
better able to address all its customers needs.
You can see a pattern here. When customers needs change,
Brothers Collision & Mechanical is there to serve them.
Brothers Collision & Mechanical hires trained technicians
and mechanics in the Rochester, NY area who are willing to
stay on top of the latest technology in the automotive industry
through ongoing schooling and training. The shop takes pride
in being up to date, clean and as efficient as possible to get your
car, truck or SUV in and out as quickly as possible.
Great food. Great people. Great times.

Windjammers bar and grill is located in the village of Charlotte, near the Ontario Beach Park and The Port of Rochester.
Windjammers was started in 1978 by Lee Selover, and is a family-friendly restaurant with a fun staff. Its rockin every day of
the week and is a locally owned neighborhood bar and grill.
Owner, Lee Selover, has been operating Windjammers since he was 24 years old and he has maintained his neighborly sense of
belonging in his restaurant ever since. Selover isnt afraid to make his dreams come true, so at 24 years of age, he bought the old
New Frontier restaurant and renamed it to Windjammers.
Lee changed a standard bar into a restaurant and place where people can come and enjoy themselves, knowing they are welcome.
Over thirty six years in business shows the power of his determination in making his dream a reality. Selover concentrates on the
needs and wants of his customers. If they havent had something on his menu then he comes over to them so that he can make
sure that they receive samples of the foods to taste. Selovers goal is to get out and build relationships with his customers so that he
can keep the atmosphere at Windjammers jammin, with a full blast of energy beyond what is possible at other bar and grills.
Customers say that the number one reason they love Windjammers is that they can come in and always see a friendly, familiar
face. Some customers have been coming to the bar and grill since its inception. The laid-back staff is always ready with a smile
and a good dose of humor welcomes everyone.
The second reason bringing customers back is the great food. All of their recipes are tried and true from family members and
friends. Everything is made from scratch, including their 15 varieties of wings. At Windjammers, they feel that the customer is
their audience and often ask the customers if theyd like to see something new on the menu.The burgers are fantastic as well and
they are served from 2pm to 2am daily. People love and support Windjammers with all their hearts!
The family bonding experience at Windjammers is highly important, from the owners own children whom have aided in its
continual success, to the staff in all areas of the bar and grill. Some of the staff have been there for over 10 years. They have all
made a strong link with Windjammers and each other throughout the years which has kept the business thriving. All of Lees
children love the place as well. Come to Windjammers and be a part of the family.
Youll Love it!! Thank You For All Your Support Through The Years...

JJ Construction in History
John had a dream to have his own construction business after he and his father had worked in construction for a number
of years. So it all started in 1991, he made his dream a reality. We set up an office in the spare bedroom of Johns house,
where we worked for several years. Eventually, as the business expanded, we upgraded to a little studio apartment for
approximately 4 years, and then, from there, we moved into the building we are in now at 2075 Dewey Avenue.
It was only John and one other guy at the beginning who started taking on roofing jobs. Then I started working as his secretary
in the spare bedroom of Johns house. The Company has done very well. We all know that every company has hurdles,
but JJ Construction went pretty smooth. His dream has continued for many years, and each year John brings that dream to
life by expanding our company. JJ Construction went from offering just roofing to an array of options for homeowners to
choose from such as Siding, gutters, windows, doors, additions, remodeling, asphalt driveway, Commercial snow removal
and much more . Whatever satisfies our customers, we deliver. Therefore we make sure our workers go through vigorous
training and become certified in all aspects of our company so we can deliver satisfaction.
Today, with 20+ team members, John and I will continue to make the company expand further, working on his dreams and
turning them into what the future JJ Construction will be.
Let JJ Construction help you turn your home into your dream home by calling for your free estimate today at 585-865-5428.

Rachel Francisco ~ Erie Insurance
I was born and raised in Rochester. Started working at age 15 (the earliest they would let me). I have always
aspired to be a business owner but thought it was out of reach for many years. After working several years in
the insurance business I decided I wanted to start my own business - to build my future and to treat customers
the way I want to be treated. I was and am determined to be the best local /neighborhood insurance agent.
I truly care about all my clients and go above and beyond to help them in any way I possibly can. I also like
to use local businesses for any of my personal or business needs such as cleaning, plumbing, heating etc... I
always contact one of my clients first. Local connections and small businesses supporting each other is very
important to me.

Stuarts Spices has been providing premium spices, seasonings,

peppers, rubs and sausage mixes to the cooking enthusiast and
professional chefs since Stuart started the business in 1992.
We grind many of our spices & mix our seasoning blends with our own
recipes, all on-site at our Shop in Rochesters South Wedge. Our 200+
spices and seasonings contain no MSG or gluten, and we have a large
selection of no salt seasonings. In addition to our retail Shop, we provide
spices and seasonings to local restaurants and butcher shops. We are also
at the Rochester Public Market, April-December.
Why Shop with Us?
We start with premium spices; spices that contain high essential oils and
flavors. Since spices begin to lose some of their aromatics and flavors as
soon as they are ground, we grind only in small batches. This allows us to
provide you, our customer, with the freshest tasting ingredients.
We dont just sell spices - we enjoy talking with our customers about food
preferences and cooking, and sharing our knowledge and understanding
of how our spices and seasonings can help you wow your friends and
family!
Do you like learning about spices, seasonings or cooking?
Consider joining us for some of our workshops. We recently offered a

pepper tasting workshop where participants had the
opportunity to check out all of our different peppercorns. We are planning
more for the upcoming months, so check out our facebook page, website
and newsletter to stay up to date. Or contact us to set up your own
tasting and demo with a group of family, friends or co-workers.
We look forward to seeing you at our Shop.

D&L SPEEDY AUTO REPAIR

Our business started out with a dream of owning our own garage. After visiting
several facilities and not having a good experience, we decided now was the time. We
wanted an honest, friendly place for people to go.
I think Dan Sr. was born a mechanic along with our son. As kids, he built go-carts with
engines and drove them up and down the road. He started repairing lawn mowers, then
started tinkering with cars. Somehow he always knew what made what work. Our son at
the age of three already knew what tools his dad needed... that never did cease to amaze
us. From there, they both worked in machine shops as mechanics, and set-ups while
working on cars on the side. I used to call them driveway mechanics.
Now we own and operate D&L Speedy auto in Dansville N.Y. - family owned and operated.
Our goal is to make everyone feel welcome, with honesty and integrity. We know we cant
please everyone, but we will do our best to try!
Come on in for an estimate, or just to say hi!

The following canine pet tips are based on my years of working with
dogs and the energy I use in my Animal Reiki Practice. More information
can be found on my website www.animalreikiheals.com. The tips also
reflect some of the philosophies and strategies used by Cesar Millan.
1.
By providing water, food and affection you can win a dogs

trust. The only way you can earn his respect is by giving him
structure and by walking with him in a relaxed and confident
manner. Your energy extends from you, through the leash to
him.
2.
A dog will trust a strong leader, but will take control if you
dont lead.
3.
Use the power of intention to increase your pack leader skills,

especially while walking your dog. Imagine that you personify
strength and confidence and you will be able manifest that
reality. You can also focus on a person who exemplifies that
competence.
4.
Your dogs behavior is always, in some way a mirror or your

own. If your pet is stressed or anxious, take a good look at
what is going on in your own life.
5.
We love our dogs and want to give them affection all the time.
However, if you try to coddle them while they are anxious,
fearful or stressed, you will actually nurture that unwanted
behavior. Offer patience, calm and centered energy and
sound leadership instead.
6.
It is never a good idea to tease a dog. It destroys trust and

can make a dog aggressive.
7.
According to Cesar Millan, Improving your dogs behavior is

like staying on a diet. Youll see lasting results only if you stick
with it for a long time.
8.
Remember that dogs live in the moment. With proper

leadership and guidance they can heal from years of trauma,
neglect or behavioral issues (especially with Reiki energy).
9.
Yes, your dog does get exercise running around in the back
yard. It cannot, however, take the place of a daily walk. They
have a primordial need for daily walks with their pack leader.
If you cannot walk your dog daily, see if a family member or
friend would be willing to fill in.
10. Make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise. A high energy
dog that doesnt get enough exercise will likely take out his
frustrations on other animals or people. Practice remaining
calm and centered.
Questions or comments?
The words pierced her soul: Your dog has inoperable cancer. There is no
hope. Were sorry
There are as many reasons for a person to start a new path in life as there
are people.
On that day in 2010, as Jills mind absorbed the horrifying news that her
beloved seven year old border collie, Skye, had no hope of survival,
something all-encompassing enveloped her. After momentarily feeling
traumatized by heartache and paralyzed with nauseating fear, she was guided
by something so loving, so gentle and yet powerful to find a way to save him.
Jill was guided to Reiki, a holistic form of spiritually guided energy healing
that originated in Japan thousands of years ago. As she was taught how to
channel the energy, she offered it to Skye daily.
Skye will be 12 years old next month. He not only survived, but is thriving.
Jill continued her Reiki training and is now a Reiki Master. She is an Animal
Intuitive who discovered her lifes purpose because of her passion to heal
and to ultimately save her dog. She is a dedicated healer with an unwavering
desire to ease pain and to bring about positive change for all living things.
Jill launched her business Whispers from Within because of her passion for
animals and her desire to offer pets (and their people) a deeper healing for
illness, injury, disease, or behavioral issues. It is her belief that there can be
no greater healing than that which is guided by a higher power and offered
with an open heart. When a pet (or person) receives Reiki energy he enjoys
a deeply relaxing experience that reduces stress while promoting feelings of
calm, comfort and well-being. It is always safe, extremely gentle, painless,
and non-invasive. Reiki has been used in healing practically every known
illness or injury. It complements both conventional and alternative therapies,
can never cause harm and is always beneficial. It adds an important element
to the healing and behavior therapy that animals can receive in our society.
Reiki is a language that animals readily understand and appreciate. It is a
simple yet powerful healing method that can heal challenging problems and
improve the quality of life.
In addition to offering Reiki, Jill is an Animal Communicator who understands
and respects an animals wisdom and point of view. Animal Communication
can be described as deepened intuition or telepathic communication. It is the
language of all life. By being able to hear whatever it is they want her to
know, Jill works in partnership with the pet. Animals long to be understood
just as humans do. With communication, a deeper healing is possible. In
addition, profound healing occurs when Jill uses her visualization and
intention techniques as well.
Whispers from Within offers combination treatments for the owner and pet,
treatments just for the pet, just for the owner, or for any person or animal in
need of healing.

Take Care in Your Yard...
Providing your cat or dog with a fun, safe environment with ample shelter and drinking water are all parts
of Spring and Summer backyard preparation and enjoyment. There are some dangers to keep in mind while
enjoying your yard. Many plants can be harmful to our beloved furry friends. Make sure you are aware of the
potential dangers and provide adequate protection from these plants (listed below), or remove them altogether
from your landscape. There are plenty of pet-safe options at your local nursery. Keep meat and dairy out of
compost piles and keep piles fenced so your pets will not be tempted to dig up a snack, or attract unwanted
vermin.
Make sure to pick up dog waste regularly to prevent to spread of other nasties like Whipworm, Tapeworm, and
a sorted mix of other parasites and harmful bacteria. Use preventative treatments to reduce your pets chances
of exposure. See your veterinarian for options.
Always remember to see your vet regularly for vaccinations and yearly health check-ups.

Are Your Pets Ready

For a Natural Disaster
or Emergency?
What if you needed to grab everything you could think of

to survive for a few days, or even a week away from your
home and the basic supplies? Would you be ready or able
to have the necessities quickly? Important documents,
photos, are also important. We all should have a survival
kit in arms reach - in the unfortunate event we ever need
it, it will be there.
What about your pets? Of course we all would bring them
with us - the pack stays together. Do you have ready what
they would need? Here are some valuable ideas to keep in
mind, and create your own Pet Survival Kit.
Crates and Carriers: Can you easily house several
animals in one crate? If you have 2 cats, and only one
carrier, do you have another option to maintain control of
the other cat if they can not be housed together.
Food: Have enough of their regular daily food for at least
7 days - a Gallon Zip-lock bag is usually enough, depending
on kibble size. Dont forget a plastic or metal dish.
Water: Bottled water is best. Rationing is always
important with both food and water. Bring as much as you
can carry, I pack 6 bottles in my Survival Kit. Dont forget
a plastic or metal dish.
Proof of Vaccination: This will help if you and your pets
are separated and/or quarantined. This also will have
your veterinarians information listed.
Photos: Recent photographs of your pets will help in
identification and proof of ownership, in the event you
and your pets are separated.
First Aid: Basic first aid kits are a must ALWAYS and
ANYTIME. You should have one in your car. Pet First Aid
kits can be obtained through the American Red Cross. If
your pet is on any medications, be sure to have an extra
prescription filled for the kit. Store them in their original
bottles with labels attached.
Other items to include: Zip-lock bags of dog treats and
cat treats, blankets or towels, familiar toys, extra leash or
harness, poopie bags and a few garbage bags.
Portable/disposable litter boxes are also handy.
BE READY. BE SAFE. BE SURE.
Contact us at contact@communityandwellnessguide.com to join our group session

(date TBD*) for the American Red Cross Pet First Aid Course.
*Class size minimum of 15 people.
