With more than 3,000 schoolchildren visiting every spring, the Audubon Community Nature Center needs volunteers with a love of nature to lead Discovery Walks with groups of students. “Our trail guides generously share their time and themselves for the important work of connecting children to nature,” said Audubon naturalist and volunteer coordinator Katie Finch. “These volunteers are critically important, and their impact can last a lifetime!” At the New Trail Guide Orientation on Wednesday morning, March 29, you can find out how to become a Trail Guide volunteer and learn about this rewarding opportunity to assist the education staff with elementary school fieldtrips. The 10-11:30 a.m. session will cover a brief history and mission of Audubon, volunteer roles in the organization and an overview of what it means to be a Trail Guide. If, after this introductory session, you feel like this is a good fit, you should attend the fourday Trail Guide Training on Wednesday mornings in April. If you have experience or interest in the natural world and working with children, this could be for you. Trail Guide Volunteers are integral to the education programming at Audubon. Most often these volunteers work with elementary students visiting Audubon on a fieldtrip. Volunteers lead small groups on Discovery Walks outside to inspire curiosity about the natural world through age-appropriate activities. Information and skills learned in this training are also useful in other volunteer positions at Audubon.

Scholarship Opportunity for Former Foster Children Through NCCF Contributed Article NCCF

Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation (NCCF) announces the availability of the Rev. Clifford K. Cliver and Lucy Cliver Sumsky Scholarship. Established in 2015, the scholarship is designed to assist students over age 21 who have been in foster care. "Growing up as foster children, my late sister Lucy and I experienced firsthand that children in foster care must rely on the kindness and compassion of those in our community,” said Rev. Cliver. "Together, we wanted to increase the resources given to students who have been in foster care as it is vital to their well-being and to improving their opportunities." The Rev. Clifford K. Cliver and Lucy Cliver Sumsky Scholarship was created to help these individuals reach their potential by empowering them with educational skills and the tools they need to succeed. In Chautauqua County today, more than 100 children are living in foster care. This scholarship is awarded annually without regard to the student’s financial circumstances. To be eligible, students must: • be 21 years of age or older, • be attending (or have been accepted at) a university, college or trade school, • reside in Chautauqua County, and • have been in foster care.

New Program to Promote Early Literacy Skills Offered at Anderson-Lee Library Contributed Article The Anderson-Lee Library

Visiting Hilbert College is a great way to start your college search! Register today at visit.hilbert.edu or by calling (716) 926-8780

The Anderson-Lee Library, located in Silver Creek, is now offering the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program for families with children who have not yet entered Kindergarten. Every child needs to have certain early literacy skills in place before they start school to help them be successful when they begin to learn to read. These skills range from showing an interest in books and how to turn the pages to being able to discuss and retell the story of a book. Parents are the key to their child gaining these skills. You are your child’s first teacher! The U.S. Department of Education states that, “The single most important activity for building the knowledge required for eventual success in reading is reading aloud to children.” To participate, a parent or caregiver commits to reading 1000 books to their child before they enter kindergarten (rereading books count!). Then, visit AndersonLee Library to register your child and receive a “Read to Me” bag with instructions and tally sheets to begin counting the books you read. As each sheet of 100 books is finished, bring the sheet to the library and put an apple sticker on the library’s reading tree poster to mark your accomplishment. Continue reading and talking about the books with your child until you have

reached 1000 books or more! Your child is now a step ahead on the path to learning to read. Once 1000 books have been reached, the library will hold a special recognition for your child. To register, stop by the library at 43 Main Street during open hours. For more information, please call the library at 9343468. The mission of the Anderson-Lee Library is to advance the quality of life in the communities we serve by providing access to information resources, staff, facilities, and services geared to patrons'

needs and interests. The library assists users of all ages by developing its collections, and providing services and programs that support the pursuit of knowledge and the development of the individual's full potential. “If parents understood the huge educational benefits and intense happiness brought by reading aloud to their children, and if every parent-and every adult caring for a child-read aloud a minimum of three stories a day to the children in their lives, we could probably wipe out illiteracy within one generation.” Mem Fox, Reading Magic

Find a container large enough to push toy trucks around in, to shovel and make snow castles in. You can also use some food coloring to add a little color to your snow fun.

Coffee Can Be Good or Bad for Your Health: What to Know Now Contributed Article StatePoint

A majority of Americans drink coffee daily, with an average of about three cups a day, according to Harvard School of Public Health. Will all those cups of Joe being downed nationwide, it’s important to consider the beverage’s potential effects on your health. Science indicates there are some substantial health benefits to drinking coffee regularly. Various studies have suggested that drinking coffee regularly could decrease the risk of heart disease and stroke, lower the risk for developing type 2 diabetes, protect against gallstones and lower the risk of developing Parkinson’s Disease. However, it’s important to note that because of its caffeine content, coffee intake should be moderated. Its acidity can also impact issues like bone and muscle deterioration, and kidney stones.

For these reasons, many people are rethinking the types of coffee they drink in order to avoid particular health concerns. For example, unlike a conventional acidic cup of coffee, Bio Coffee is alkaline, caffeine-free and made with wheatgrass. It contains three to five servings of vegetables in one cup of coffee, as well as six grams of fiber -- approximately 25 percent of the recommended daily amount. It also provides a natural source of pre- and probiotics for

“BUILDING DREAMS ONE HOME AT A TIME”

The average home has 45 light sockets which means you probably have more light bulbs than just about any home product, and yet the lighting aisle can still be a daunting place. With the right knowledge, you can save money, protect the environment and bring the best features of your home to life. Here are four quick tips to get you started: • Opt for LED. By 2020, half of all residential sockets will have converted to LEDs, which is good news, as LEDs can last over 10 years and use up to 85 percent less energy than the traditional lighting you may use today. Available in a variety of shapes, sizes, wattages and color temperatures, they are becoming increasingly affordable, too. Just a few years ago, LEDs topped $40, but today you can find a high-quality LED for less than $5. • Pay attention to color temperatures, wattages, shapes and quality of light. A few lighting facts can help you make useful purchases. For example, an average 60-watt replacement bulb would require about 800 lumens. The higher this number is, the brighter the light will be. And remember: when you invest in an LED that’s expected to last more than a decade, you want one that’s going to reliably live up to your expectations, so brands that have been around for a while and have proven their commitment to quality truly matter in this space. • Identify how you use each room and the mood you’d like to create. Use comfortable, soft white light in cozy places like bedrooms, family rooms and dining rooms. Active

Use the right LED lighting in each room to set the mood and bring home features to life.

spaces like laundry rooms and playrooms can benefit from an energetic daylight bulb. Feature pure, clean lights in kitchens, bathrooms and craft and hobby spaces that tend to benefit from light that delivers exceptional color contrast and brightness. Today, select manufacturers such as GE, are taking the guesswork out of the equation by listing whether each bulb has a warm or cool tone and by offering room and use recommendations on the packaging. A warm white light will have a lower K (Kelvin) number, while a cool daylight will have a higher K number. • Put your home in its best light. Even with the right colors, perfect accessories and trendy furniture, a home can look lackluster. Look for new options, such as GE’s High Definition LED light bulbs which are engineered with a higher color rendering index for greater color contrast and boldness over an average bulb. This means the colors and features in each room can look even better. Just imagine a room makeover in five minutes simply by changing your light bulbs. With today’s advanced options, there’s no better time than now to shed some new light in every room in your house.

Natural Tips to Beat Seasonal Respiratory Health Challenges Contributed Article StatePoint

Spring and summer can be particularly difficult times of year for those with respiratory health challenges, when simple activities like gardening, walking the dog and reading a book on the patio can cause itching, wheezing, sneezing and trouble breathing. “It is all about improving one’s immune function in response to environmental factors, which can mean the difference between perpetual discomfort and a happy, vital spring and summer,” says Kelly Heim, PhD, senior director of Scientific Affairs at Pure Encapsulations, a leading manufacturer of dietary supplements. Whether you are looking to make your garden the envy of the neighborhood, or you simply want to stay active and comfortable while enjoying the outdoors, consider the following treatments and tips. Something Sweet Honey isn’t just delicious; it can be therapeutic, potentially helping you to alleviate seasonal symptoms. However, it is important you select honey produced in your local area for this strategy to work. You should also know that this immunotherapeutic approach won’t protect against all the causes of respiratory health challenges. Dietary Supplements Your nutritional intake can have a large impact on the way you feel in spring. Consider a dietary supplement

For example, Pure Encapsulations Aller-Essentials with EpiCor contains a blend of nutrients and herbal extracts designed to promote healthy immune function in response to environmental factors. Research suggests that it enhances natural killer cell activation, B cell and T cell function, and salivary IgA levels; and that the quercetin, hesperidin and vitamin C in the supplement provide additional support for stabilizing mast cells which can release histamines and exacerbate respiratory issues.

A Simple Spring Cleaning Checklist Contributed Article StatePoint

• It’s the time of year to roll up your sleeves and do some spring cleaning. Experts point out that it’s helpful to streamline the tools you use to do the job and the tasks you seek to accomplish. “An all-purpose cleaner and a tough degreasing agent can be used in so many areas of the home,” says Jeff Devlin, a licensed contractor who’s appeared on several home improvement television shows. Devlin’s first tip: look to reduce the number of products in • your cleaning arsenal. “Along with high-quality sprays and cloths, I use one all-purpose cleaner that also contains degreasing ingredients.” • Devlin, along with Mean Green and its line of heavy-duty, all-purpose cleaners offer these different strategies for critical areas of your home. • Stove and range hoods: While you should be cleaning these areas regularly after food preparation, take this opportunity to conduct a more thorough cleaning. Spray cleaner • directly on the mess for up to two minutes. Wipe clean with a sponge or cloth. Then rinse thoroughly with clean water. • Sinks and countertops: Sinks and countertops can be a trap for food, grease, grime and soap scum. Generously

spray non-porous surfaces with your cleaner then rinse with clean water. Stove exhaust filter: The grease buildup that collects on the stove’s exhaust filter can be a tough nut to crack. In a sink basin, mix 8 ounces of a concentrated multi-surface cleaner and 1 gallon of hot water and submerge the filter. Place the filter in a sink or dishpan and pour in concentrated cleaner to cover. Allow the filter to soak for 30 minutes. Drain the dishpan and rinse thoroughly with hot water. Floors: Give your floors a mopping. Mix 4 ounces of cleaning solution with 1 gallon of warm water. Apply with mop or sponge. Garbage cans and diaper pails: Bags often leak nastiness into the bottom of the garbage can, which can easily be missed when quickly replacing the bag. Turn your cleanser’s nozzle to spray and generously cover the can. Wipe or brush any areas that have any residue. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Showers, tubs and tile: Use your cleaning agent at full strength and generously spray surfaces directly. Allow it to penetrate the soap scum for up to two minutes. Do not allow to dry. Wipe away with a coarse sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

PHOTO SOURCE: (c) west_photo Fotolia.com

Toilets: Let’s face it. This isn’t anyone’s favorite job but it has to be done. Turn that nozzle to spray and generously spray the outside of the toilet. Wipe clean with a paper towel, then give a quick rinse. • Patio: For patios, outdoor furniture, concrete, vinyl fences and siding, use the same cleaner outdoors: simply spray, then wipe clean with a cloth or sponge and rinse surfaces with clean water. While you’re at it, consider removing grease and grime from tools, engine parts, tires, sports gear and lawn equipment. For efficiency, consider cleaning solutions that don’t require precleaning, such as Mean Green Super Strength Cleaner & Degreaser, the strongest all-purpose cleaner available. More tips for getting your spring to-dos completed can be found at meangreendegreaser. com. “Make spring cleaning simple and effective by using smart strategies on every surface of your home,” said Devlin.

gardening should first evaluate the level of time they can commit. “Just remember that unlike other projects in the home, such as decorating and cooking, all gardening projects require some aftercare. So, if you have a busy schedule, choose crops that will tolerate less watering and feeding.” Flower Arranging While your flower garden is likely a beautiful work of art in and of itself, you can spread the joy by harvesting your flora and bringing the beauty indoors. Floral arrangements add vitality to any interior space. “For me, every arrangement starts with the container.

Lifelike animatronics, next-generation "surgeons" and mechanical warfighters -- words that might create visions of a Sci-Fi blockbuster. However, these innovations in high-tech robotics are real and you need look no further than Florida to find them. The history between the state and robotics is a long one. Since the birth of IBM PC in Boca Raton in 1981, the "Second Machine Age" has been thriving in the Sunshine State. Florida's robotics revolution covers a lot of ground, including mobility assistance and research, but a common theme found in the state's innovation reliance on technology that defies human capabilities, including in the life sciences. Seamless procedures on the spine, cancer cells and more have been enhanced by robotics at the Florida Hospital Global Robotics Institute and Mazor Robotics, both in Orlando. Similarly, Kissimmee-based Photon-X explores the science of photonics, such as fiber optics, in applications for robotics surgery. According to Photon-X President and CEO Blair Barbour, "Medical robotics is the next generation of surgery. The technology is perfected to eliminate

human error from procedures, making it possible to enhance surgeries and surgeon capabilities with better hand-eye coordination. Tests have proven that patients also heal faster through robotic surgery." The Florida Institute for Human &amp; Machine Cognition (IHMC) in Pensacola takes a different approach to defying human capabilities. By pairing scientists and robots to develop systems using complicated human thought process and versatile machines, IHMC develops systems that save lives in situations where help is needed but the risk is too great for human response, including in nuclear meltdown sites and space exploration. To develop the groundbreaking technology that Florida has become known for, the world's most talented scientists are required, and the state has made it possible to attract and retain that talent. Says Julie Sheppard, general counsel of IHMC, "Being in Florida helps us with our recruitment. In addition to the exciting work, IHMC is able to hire top talent due to Florida's weather, our affordable housing and all the access to waterways for recreational purposes. We are especially appealing to scientists from cities with a higher cost of living because we offer our employees a more attractive lifestyle." Homegrown talent is cultivated at colleges throughout the state, including the Tallahassee-based Cen-

As one of the top schools in the country for development and implementation of robotics technology, CISCOR's students focus on studying mechanical design and human-robot interaction, including mobility in complex environments. In addition, the Army has collaborated with students to develop automated motion planning, terrain classification and design and modeling of four-legged robots.

Hamsters, guinea pigs, birds and other warmblooded mammals can also trigger asthma and allergies in people with allergies to animal dander, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Myth 5: Outside the home, you shouldn't have pet allergies. Not necessarily. Because of their microscopic size and jagged shape, pet allergens easily stick to clothing and other fabrics and are carried to other locations. Animal dander -- in sufficient levels to cause allergies -- can be found in many public places such

as the workplace, classrooms and hospitals, according to the American Lung Association. Myth 6: An air purifier will help with pet allergies. It depends on the air purifier. Only a high-performance air purifier can help. Some allergy sufferers report that small, low-quality air cleaners make

little or no difference at all. However, many allergy sufferers report that their IQAir air purifier, in combination with improved cleaning methods, has reduced or completely eliminated their allergic reactions to pets in their homes.

The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is the Oscarwinning “La La Land,” starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. It will be screened on Sat., Mar. 25, and Tues., Mar. 28, at 7:30 p.m. Winner of six Academy Awards, including Best Actress for Stone and Best Director, “La La Land” tells the story of Mia (Stone), an aspiring actress, and Sebastian (Gosling), a dedicated jazz musician, who are struggling to make ends meet in a city known for crushing hopes and breaking hearts. As they begin to achieve success, they are faced with decisions that begin to fray the fragile fabric of their love affair; and the dreams they worked so hard to maintain threaten to rip them apart. Set in modern day Los Angeles, this original musical about everyday life explores the joy and pain of pursuing your dreams. Linda Holmes, on NPR, calls the film “just gorgeous, like a flipbook made of dreamy vintage postcards that are somehow about contemporary life in Los Angeles.” Richard Roeper, in the Chicago Sun Times, calls it “simply wonderful.” Adam Graham, in the Detroit News, calls it “a special, special experience … movies like this don’t come

On Saturday March 11, 2017, several students advanced to the next belt levels through The Family Martial Arts Center and the Kempo Karate Organization. While building confidence and character skills in their journey, each student has met several individual challenges which include weapons training, ground defense training, physical conditioning, hand to hand defensive and offensive training and many other techniques and aspects of the Martial Arts. They have shown a large improvement in their growth and commitment at The Family Martial Arts Center. “Congratulations to all,” says Master Bill Matteson, “and I am so proud of your accomplishments in life and in the Dojo.”

AUTO TIPS AND TRICKS 27

Radar Detectors are Useless Now Contributed Article AutoTrader

I've recently come to a conclusion about radar detectors -- an item that many car enthusiasts have considered crucial to avoiding speeding tickets for the last few decades. And my conclusion is: these days, in these modern times, they're useless. It's over. There's simply no point in having a radar detector anymore. I originally started reaching this conclusion a few months ago, when I drove across the country and back in my radar detectorequipped Aston Martin V8 Vantage. On this 6,000-plus mile road trip, I discovered two very important things: One, radar detectors are being beaten at their own game. And two, radar detectors don't really work on modern roads. I'll start with number two: Radar detectors and modern roads don't really mesh all that well. Now, in the past when you got a radar detector, you could always count on it making its little chirping sounds and flashing its lights whenever you passed an automatic door (outside a shopping mall or a grocery store, for instance) because the technology they used was relatively similar to the technology radar detectors search for. And that makes sense. But these days, it isn't just shopping malls. Here in 2017, virtually every modern vehicle on the road is equipped with blind spot monitoring, parking sensors, adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist, and all of those systems seem to use some form of technology that makes a radar detector go crazy with flashing and chirping. Seriously: Take a radar detector down a road in a nice area, where people tend to have new cars. Every time you see a Mercedes, or a BMW -- in fact, most Fords and Chevys, these days -- your radar detector will freak out. The number of false positives has gone from "annoying but acceptable" to "please shut

SEND IT TO US! up so I can listen to my music." If eight out of every nine radar detector chirps and flashes are fake, you start to simply not trust it. And then, what's the point? And it's not just the false positives. Modern radar detectors are expensive -- and they're being beaten at their own game by much cheaper solutions. The best example of this, of course, is Waze -- a mobile app that lets users report police presence (and other potential road dangers) so you know when to slow down in order to avoid a ticket. I've noticed two things about Waze: One, that it's tremendously accurate. And two, that it's tremendously quick. Almost as quick as a radar detector, and certainly with fewer false positives. The story I always tell about Waze comes from a true incident that happened to me once, a few months ago, as I was driving on the interstate in New Jersey late at night. My Waze app lit up and insisted there were "animals on the road ahead," which I openly laughed at. Animals move. How can an app on my phone possibly announce where animals are located? Well, sure enough, less than a minute later, there they were: A herd of deer grazing and hanging out by the side of the road. I've trusted Waze a lot more since then. And, of course, Waze doesn't just

tell us about deer. While it suffers from some false positives as a result of taking a while to remove reports of police vehicles that may be looking for speeding drivers, Waze is generally pretty accurate -- and pretty quick -- at recognizing speed traps. If you're cruising down the highway and Waze tells you there's a police car ahead, you're likely to slow down -- a lot more so than if you're cruising down the highway and your radar detector goes off. When your radar detector goes off, the first thing you do is you start looking around for a car with adaptive cruise control. All of this brings me back to my cross-country road trip. Early in the trip, I had the radar detector switched on, convinced I'd be able to thwart any potential speeding tickets I might receive. As the trip went on, I gradually switched -ditching the constant chirping and flashing of the radar detector for the soothing sounds of the person in the Waze app. By the end of the trip, I was all Waze -- and I've never looked back. And, frankly, I don't think I ever will. Goodbye, chirping radar detectors. The modern world doesn't need you anymore.
