CNA Training Course Begins July 13
In partnership with Finger Lakes Community College, UR Medicine Thompson Health is offering a five-week training course for individuals interested in becoming certified nursing assistants (CNAs) at the M.M. Ewing Continuing Care Center in Canandaigua.
Classes are scheduled to begin July 13. The classes are full-time, primarily Mondays through Fridays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and attendance is mandatory.
Thompson Health covers the full tuition, and participants receive payment while taking the class. They are hired into a CNA position at M.M. Ewing, a 178-bed skilled nursing facility. The position will most likely be part-time, on a specific unit and shift, and will include weekends and holidays.
After academic and clinical training is complete, course participants are scheduled to take the New York State CNA Examination. Upon successful completion of the certification exam, participants are assigned an hourly rate and go through an additional three-week clinical orientation, with preceptors on their specific units.
 
It is requested that all successful course participants remain employed by the M.M. Ewing Continuing Care Center – in a full- or part-time position – for at least one year from certification.

6 LGBTQ Winemakers you need to know

🌐 themanual.com

As wine continues to put in the work when it comes to real diversity, the industry will be increasingly blessed with added personalities and perspectives. The scene, decidedly still dominated by white males, is making waves when it comes to things like Black representation, female ownership, and inclusion in general.

One area that remains relatively unrepresented is the queer community. LGBQT winemakers occupy such a small section of the American wine world that the story typically goes untold. There’s momentum at work looking to change this, what with special tour groups and events orchestrated around wine, but by and large, the gay winemaking realm is lacking in resources, awareness, and appreciation. 

Lakewood Vineyard's *new* Vineyard Walk is officially open!

This week's photo comes from Rebecca Sheriff of Finger Lakes Wine Enthusiasts. The pic was taken from Leidenfrost Vineyards, which "was was founded in 1990 and was one of the first Finger Lakes wineries to feature a broad spectrum of red wines. Their wines are handcrafted in small batches, made out of 100% estate grown grapes."

Southern Fried Chicken

When making true Southern fried chicken, I believe less is better. You do not need ten herbs and seasonings, a complicated twenty-four-hour brine, or an egg mixture for this chicken. The secret to this chicken is the buttermilk soak—and you don’t need any extra salt, because the buttermilk is already salty. And when you take it out of the soak, you don’t need to rinse it at all, because that buttermilk is what will help the breading stick. This is some easygoing chicken, just let the buttermilk work its magic. Read more
