EXCLUSIVE: Sean Buck talks campaign for Canandaigua City Council
Sean Buck is running for Canandaigua City Council. It’s his third run for office, and over the last six years being involved in the community — he says many lessons have been learned. Today we sit down with him to talk about his campaign, what good development in the city looks like, and how to protect the long-term health of Canandaigua Lake — one of the city’s greatest assets. When he’s not running for elected office, he’s often organizing and participating in dives on Canandaigua Lake, helping clean it up.
Finger Lakes apple crop hurt by spring frost, but fall activities will go on as planned
Apple growers in the prolific apple-producing region of Finger Lakes, especially in Wayne County are experiencing varied impacts on their harvest this year due to a late frost in May. Gregory Peck, an associate professor of horticulture at Cornell University, told the Finger Lakes Times that the geographical placement of the orchards played a crucial role in determining the extent of damage this past spring, with proximity to large water bodies generally offering protection by delaying bloom times.
