Contributed Article GROW Jamestown
The vendor list and workshop schedule for the GROW Jamestown Garden Fair and Home Show is now available. Presented by Mike’s Nursery, the event will take place on Saturday April 1st at the Northwest Arena from 10 am to 4 pm. This year more than 50 vendors and 12 workshops have been lined up by the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation. “This event not only excites the community that spring is underway but it offers education and resources to get your flower and produce gardens up and running with ease,” says Christina Breen, Event and Project Associate for the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation. “This year we have a total of 56 vendors, some of which are returning favorites and others are new for the first time in 2017. Our event is the only true garden and home show in the area no other event features home and garden education and hands-on activities like the GROW Jamestown event,” said Mary Maxwell, Neighborhood Project Associate. Vendors scheduled to attend include nurseries, contractors, landscape designers, craft vendors, food vendors, neighborhood clusters, and more. New this year is an interactive Hydroponic system presented by the BioDome Project and two new businesses, Havana Cuban Café and Pizzeria and Full Moon Rising Bakery, who will be serving food and confections for residents to enjoy during the event. Also new this year is a documentary feature. “Each year that we come together to plan this event, we want to include documentaries but resources have been limited until now,” says Breen. This year, two documentaries will be streaming in the upstairs of the arena for participants to enjoy. Another key feature of the GROW Jamestown Garden Fair and Home Show is the educational workshops hosted by the Cornell Cooperative Extension Master Gardener Program of Chautauqua County and other area professionals. This year, 12 workshops have been planned that focus on gardening and home improvement: • Sprinkle Flowers on Your Plate – Growing and Using Edible Flowers • Ask-A-Master Gardener Panel • Medicinal Properties of Common Herbs • Raised Garden Bed Construction and Care • Seed Starting and Vegetable Gardening
Participants and vendors of the 2016 GROW Jamestown Garden Fair and Home Show
• What is Ailing My Tree? • Gardening for Butterflies/Monarch Way Station • Paint Like a Pro • Ask-A-Contractor • Boosting Curb Appeal on a Budget • Energy Efficiency in Your Home • Chainsaw Safety Presentation “We have definitely taken our workshop topics to a new level from previous years,” said Mary Maxwell. “We have had a lot of requests over the years, people wanted more information that pertained to the region where we live. Event volunteers along with the Master Gardeners and business owners have worked hard to make sure this year’s workshops are educational and fun,” said Maxwell. The GROW Jamestown Garden Fair and Home Show is presented by Mike’s Nursery. Owner Mike Krauth and his staff will be giving away free tomato seedlings to every show attendee while supplies last. Also, the first 1,000 people to the event will receive a free reusable grocery tote courtesy of Wegmans in Jamestown. The event is also graciously sponsored by The Resource Center, Stone & Outdoor Living
Center, RSVP, Cornell Cooperative Extension Master Gardener Program, Century 21 Turner Brokers, Lowes Pro Services and the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation.

The Weekly Word GOD'S PREPARED PLAN
Rev. Timothy Stahlman Family Church Jamestown fcjamestown.org
God has something marvelous in store for everyone
who decides that He is worth imitating. Society has lost sight of the ones who are Godly examples and we have placed on a pedestal everyone we who hope and pray our children do not become. Too often we tell children to pursue THEIR dreams and YOU can be whatever YOU want. What about instilling in people a need to seek God's plans for their lives? Our own selfish plans can abort the plan of God. 1 Corinthians 2:9 says, "But as it is written, eye has not seen nor ear heard neither has entered into the heart of man the things which GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THEM THAT LOVE HIM." This scripture is usually taken out of context. Most people think
that this verse is talking about what God has made for us in Heaven. This verse, however, is not talking about Heaven. How do we know? Because look at the next verse. Verse 10 says, "But God has revealed THEM unto us by His Spirit..." Notice the word "them". "Them" is plural. Heaven is singular. What is the "them" that it is talking about? All the things that eye has not seen, ear heard, or entered into the heart of man! This verse is not talking about what God has prepared for people in Heaven; it is talking about what God has prepared for them here on Earth! God has marvelous things ALREADY PREPARED for all of us! Why would we think that our own plans would be better than what the Lord has
for us? People must obviously think that because the majority of us are constantly making decisions apart from what God says in His Word. Notice again 1 Corinthians 2:9 written above. Who are these plans prepared for? They are prepared for THOSE THAT LOVE GOD. These privileges aren't just for everybody. Everybody is invited into these benefits but those that love God are the ones that will see them. Right there a vast number of people, even believers, are disqualified because many do not love God with what the Bible calls love. Jesus was very quick to define what love for God looks like. He said in John 14:15, "If you love me keep my com-
mands." Again Jesus said in John 14:24, "He that does not C love me does not obey my WORDS..." Many Christians A today think they are in love with God because they cry F during their favorite hymn or C worship song. Yet the same O person can disregard what m the Bible says about kindness, T tithing, serving, and using gifts and talents for the Lord. f o We think people love God T because they cry during a song but that is not Bible love. m Many people are sentimen- T tal about God but true love t for Him is demonstrated by N OBEDIENCE! If someone b had accused you of loving r God would there be enough a evidence to convict you? If t not then you might miss what T God has for you. b e

Panama United Methodist Church Launching CenterPoint Capital Campaign
C
T
P p Panama United Methodist Church P I F The Panama United Methodist Church, located at 12 Main St. in Panama, N.Y., is entering a major funds campaign to pay for its CenterPoint project. The s CenterPoint project consists of a new Fellowship Hall with seating for over 200 t people, a renovated and enlarged kitchen, and an enlarged and enriching space S for children’s ministry. The church wishes to make these improvements so that K they can better serve their membership, the community of Panama, and the sur- E rounding communities that utilize the church facility. “ a This campaign will officially begin with a presentation to the church at the 10:15am Worship Service on Sunday April 2, 2017, with Dr. Robert S. Hallett as s the featured speaker. Dr. Hallett, who is the Founder and President of TLC Min- A istries, Inc. of New Castle, Indiana, will also be leading the Scriptural Funding fi Campaign. F Coming originally from New Brunswick, Canada, Dr. Hallett graduated from p Bethany Bible College in Sussex, New Brunswick, with a Ministerial Diploma, “ and from Indiana Wesleyan University in Marion, Indiana, with a B.A. in Theol-a ogy. He attended the Anderson (Indiana) School of Theology while pastoring b nearby, and graduated from Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kenc tucky, with his M.Div. degree. He started his doctoral studies at Trinity Interj national University in Deerfield, Illinois, and received his D.Min. degree from a Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary in Lynchburg, Virginia. M Dr. Hallett has served as pastor of local churches in Wisconsin and Indiana, on r the Development staff of Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois, and has been f helping churches throughout the country to raise major funds for building and H renovation projects since 1985. In addition to his leadership of TLC Ministries, s he has personally conducted several hundred capital campaigns for local churches, and has consistently seen their people respond very positively to this proven F Scriptural approach to raising major funds. He observes: “History teaches us that C the challenge afforded by a church, especially when it does something major to “ improve its facility situation, is usually perceived by its people as an ideal oppor- p W tunity to invest substantially in things of eternal value.” Pastor, Rev. Steven Taylor invites all members and friends of the Panama United A Methodist Church to participate in the Campaign Launch Service on April 2nd, w and in each phase of the campaign as it leads up to their church-wide Celebra- r tion Event scheduled for Sunday, July 9, 2017.

Poetry Slam Team Wins Top Regional Award Contributed Article The State University of New York at Fredonia
Poetic Perspective, the State University of New York at Fredonia’s four-member poetry slam team, won the first place trophy at the Regional Intercollegiate Team Poetry Slam on March 4, rising above Mental Graffiti, of host school Rochester Institute of Technology, and teams from three other universities. Formed last fall as an extension of the student group Writers’ Ring, Poetic Perspective members include Rajae Barnes-Wright (first-year student, Video Production, Rochester), Devin Johnson (sophomore, Audio/Radio Production, Queens), Stephanie Pierre-Jacques (first-year, Music Therapy, Williamstown, N.J.) and Kanard Lewis (junior, Audio/Radio Production, Bronx). Each member performed an original piece-“All Bad,” by Mr. Barnes-Wright; “Skin Color,” Mr. Lewis; “White Hands on My Black Skin,” Ms. Pierre-Jacques; and “Chitlins,” Mr. Johnson. Teams from Buffalo State (Tha Ink Club), University at Buffalo (UB Speaks) and SUNY Geneseo also competed. A different group of Fredonia poets took third place at last year’s slam, so this first place performance was very fulfilling, Johnson said. Mr. Lewis was the lone Fredonian who competed last year at the slam, whose location has rotated among participating schools. “Our poets-Kanard, Devin, Rajae and Stephanie-performed beyond themselves at the competition. They were able to take their message and put a performance behind it that engages everyone in the audience,” said Brandon Williamson, their coach and a counselor in the Admissions Office. Fellow classmate Markus Arthur joined the Fredonia contingent at RIT to provide valuable support, Johnson added. Mr. Williamson, who founded the Regional Intercollegiate Team Poetry Slam, run by Pure Ink Poetry, a nationally-ranked poetry organization based in Buffalo, three years ago to bring together poetry communities from various schools. He’s watched team members grow and develop together under Johnson’s leadership. Fredonia competed against teams stocked with poets who have performed at the College Unions Poetry Slam Invitational, a national competition. “I met with each of them individually and we worked on their technique and performance, but when the competition began they were on their own,” added Williamson, who’s also a talented slam poet in his own right. At a poetry slam, participants stand up in front of a crowd and perform a spokenword piece (usually an original work) in less than three minutes. Each piece is rated on a 1-to-10 scale by randomly selected audience members designated as judges. Scores compiled by each judge are based on overall content of the poem,

as well as delivery. “We always say that although you're doing poetry for points, the poetry is the point of the poetry slam, and the team really got an understanding of that once they found themselves on that stage,” Williamson said. Poetic Perspective serves as a platform for artists to work on being a medium between their own work and the audience through public performance/spoken word, highlighting aspects such as voice inflection, levels and cadence, Johnson explained. Its parent organization, Writers’ Ring, helps to workshop all forms of literature to help writers get a well-rounded critique and constructive criticism of their written pieces. Fredonia will both defend its title and also host the 2018 Regional Intercollegiate Poetry Slam.

County Executive Announces Retirement of Director of Human Resources JOSEPH PORPIGLIA TO RETIRE AS CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES COUNTY DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES TO RETIRE ON JUNE 1 Contributed Article Office of the Chautauqua County Executive
Chautauqua County Executive Vince Horrigan recently announced Chautauqua County Director of Human Resources Joseph Porpiglia will retire from his position effective June 1, 2017. Porpiglia first began his career with the county on January 1, 1985 as commissioner of elections. Following a 14-year career with the Board of Elections, he was appointed as director of human resources on May 5, 1999. Since that time, he was re-appointed to another six-year term in 2005 and a third term in 2011. “Working as a public servant to safeguard the workplace and voting rights of Chautauqua County employees and citizens has been a rewarding experience,” said Porpiglia. “To all those I’ve had the opportunity to serve with, I thank you for your partnership and support.” Throughout his career, Porpiglia has helped ensure the workplace entitlements of all employees; maintained statutory compliance with Federal, State and County requirements; facilitated employee recruitment; and promoted fair hiring practices while enforcing county policies. He has managed collective bargaining agreements and was lead negotiator for 23 union contracts with the five recognized labor organizations in County Government. He also served on numerous labor relations committees including the Chautauqua County Labor Relations Council, Policy Committee, and Wellness and Health Insurance Review Committee. In addition to these duties, as personnel officer he oversees the administration of New York State Civil Service for 69 entities within Chautauqua County

rigan. “I thank Joe for his 32 years of incredible and exemplary service to Chautauqua County and he will be sorely missed.” Horrigan has begun the process of finding a replacement and will establish a bi-partisan search committee to help him find the most qualified individual to serve as the new director.

By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
In an effort to expand our culinary horizons, I have been branching out with our cooking lately. Nothing extravagant or unrecognizable, and certainly not anything that I don’t know how to pronounce. We do still have toddlers, and they need to eat the majority of the dinners that I make, so our diet as a whole isn’t incredibly exciting. I’m not saying it’s peanut butter and jelly for lunch and chicken nuggets for dinner every day around here, but it’s also not too far from that. Our kids eat a lot of fruits and veggies, but I am constantly on the lookout for more ways to sneak those in here and there, while making things that make eating healthy not so boring. One type of food that our kids enjoy is Chinese food. It could be because it’s delicious, and it definitely has something to do with the cute little baby corn that Joshua can never get enough of. It also might have something to do with the fact that every time they’ve had it they didn’t have to wait for their food. Chinese buffets and takeout are pretty quick fixes for hungry kids. Much unlike your typical sit-down-and-wait restaurant, which in my experience has not been a kid favorite, unless of course there are goldfish crackers as appetizers. Over the past several years I have tried several Chineseinspired recipes, but this most
recent one was the best by far. This came the closest to tasting like it came from our favorite Chinese restaurant and not from our kitchen. You know you have a winner when your husband says, ‘wow, this is so good,’ over three times while consuming the meal that you just made. The best thing, at least that has not been mentioned yet, is that it was so super easy. You hear that promise quite a bit over here, but this could easily be a 20 minute meal. Twenty minute meals are about the closest thing to a kitchen miracle that there is. To be perfectly honest, I thought this was headed down the dreaded ‘fail road.’I have had my fair share of those, from the completely burnt an inedible to the edible but wow do I wish I had eaten something else meals. The night that I made this, I had actually started making 3 different sauce recipes, each time finding out that we were one or two ingredients short of what we needed with no viable substitutes. When I use the words, ‘started making,’ what I mean is that I pulled out all the ingredients I would need and set them on the counter. I didn’t start cooking something and then realize that I couldn’t finish. Been there, done that. Far too many times. Which is why I feel the need to ever so slightly defined myself in this situation. My husband and my mother have both gotten the, ‘hey, I started making this and forgot

to check for ingredients, can you stop at the store?’ phone call far too many times. This is why I now have the safeguard of putting ingredients on the counter prior to making, so that I don’t get carried away too soon. So here are the ingredients you will need for the complete meal, happy cooking! Peanut Butter Chicken with Snap peas • 2 pounds chicken breast • 2 cups snap peas • 4 cups white rice Cut chicken into cubes and place in a skillet. Drizzle chicken with olive oil and cook until lightly brown over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Season lightly with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Prepare vegetables and rice. For a time-saver, I used a
family sized bag of microwave steam able snap peas. Sauce • 1 1" piece ginger, peeled • 1 small garlic clove, minced • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter • 2 tablespoons reducedsodium soy sauce • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice • 1 teaspoon (packed) light brown sugar • 1/4 -1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes • 1/3 cup warm water Concerning the sauce ingredients, ground ginger can be used in replacement of the fresh ginger, and lemon juice in lieu of the lime. Do not be deterred if you do not have those ingredients! Ours tasted just fine. As for the
red pepper flakes, this is a no brainer. The more you add, the spicier your sauce will be. If serving to children, I would do just a sprinkle. It adds just the right amount of spice without overdoing it one bit. Here comes the super easy part. Put all the sauce ingredients into a blender and combine until smooth. How easy is that, right? I used our handy dandy immersion blender which worked beautifully. That thing is such a little helper in the kitchen. Transfer sauce to saucepan and heat over low-medium heat, about 3-5 minutes. Toss chicken into sauce and you’re ready to go! Dinner is served. As always, thanks for reading, and happy cooking from HBK!

UPMC Chautauqua WCA Lights the Hospital Blue to Raise Colorectal Cancer Awareness Contributed Article UPMC Chautauqua WCA
UPMC Chautauqua WCA joined area health officials to “Turn Chautauqua County Blue”, by lighting the hospital blue in March to raise awareness about the importance of colorectal cancer screening and early detection. March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month and blue is the universally-recognized color for colorectal cancer. Cancer Services of Chautauqua County and area health, agencies/organizations, hospitals, and government representatives are teaming up to show their commitment in raising awareness of the importance of getting screened. According to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention, colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer—but it doesn’t have to be. “Screenings save lives,” said Betsy T. Wright, president, UPMC Chautauqua WCA who joined forces with area hospitals, health agencies, and government representatives on March 17 to sign a pledge in support of getting 80 percent of the eligible population screened for colon cancer by 2018. “Screening tests help prevent colorectal cancer or detect cancer early when treatment is the most effective. Our county-wide collaborative effort is to provide support, education, and screenings that can reduce colorectal-related deaths.” If you are 50 or older, getting a colorectal cancer screening test could save your life. Talk to your doctor about which screening or test is right for you and how often you should be screened. The Cancer Services Program of Chautauqua County is part of New York State Department of Health’s Cancer Services Program. The program offers colorectal, breast and cervical cancer screening to eligible uninsured and underinsured individuals in every county in the state. To find a local cancer services program or to obtain
Community area health agencies/organizations/hospitals join Chautauqua County Executive, Vince Horrigan, New York State Assemblyman, Andrew Goodell, and Chautauqua County Department of Health officials to sign a pledge that represents a commitment to work toward increasing the number of people screened, aimed at substantially reducing colorectal cancer as a major public health concern.

WNY’S Premier Dementia Education Conference Set for April Contributed Article Alzheimer’s Association, WNY Chapter
It’s estimated that more than 150,000 people across Western New York provide some kind of care for a person with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. These selfless and sometimes overwhelmed care partners have an ally in the Alzheimer’s Association Western New York Chapter and a tremendous resource in the annual Dementia Care Symposium. The all-day education conference on April 21, 2017 will include a keynote speech addressing the state of Alzheimer’s research. Beth Kallmyer, MSW, is the Vice President of Constituent Services for the Alzheimer’s Association, based in Chicago. Her presentation will review the latest research and practice interventions including treatments, and health living strategies. A second keynote will be delivered by Connecticut-based Maureen Matthews, PhD, RN, a renowned psychotherapist and dementia expert who will discuss improving quality of life for those with cognitive impairment. Afternoon workshops presented by local experts will focus on the unique challenges facing family care partners, including financial and behavioral issues, and offer advice on overcoming them. Professional health care providers will strength or re-fresh their skills, and earn Continuing Education Credits for specific disciplines. And a special program will also be offered for those with a diagnosis of early stage dementia. “This symposium is an excellent way for professionals and families to not only learn techniques for caregiving, but how to work together as a care team and make sure they are mindful of their own health,” says Julia Szprygada, the Chapter’s education director who is organizing the conference. ”There is pertinent information for anyone involved in dementia care, regardless of your role or the stage of the disease.” The conference will convene at the Millennium Hotel at 2040 Walden Avenue in Cheektowaga at 8:00 a.m. Continental breakfast and a full lunch are included, along with pertinent materials and access to local vendors. The day concludes by 4:00 p.m. A respite service will also be available for caregivers who cannot leave a loved one unattended. To make arrangements for the service, caregivers should call 1.800.272.3900 no later than April 11. Registration for Symposium can be completed online at alz.org/WNY or over the phone during regular business hours at 1.800.272.3900. Early bird discounts are available until April 7.

Smart Tips to Prevent Identity Theft
Contributed Article StatePoint
More than 13 million U.S. consumers fall victim to identity theft each year, according to Javelin Strategy and Re• search, with more than $15 billion stolen. Fortunately for consumers, many of these crimes are preventable. “Falling victim to identity theft can be financially devastating for many consumers, a consequence that only further emphasizes the importance of safeguarding your personal information,” says Guy Abramo, president of Experian Consumer Services. The identity protection experts at Experian recommend the following tips to better protect yourself. • Protect your home: Your home is your castle and identity thieves know this is where your most valu- • able possessions are likely stored. Diminish your vulnerability by using a safe to store sensitive information, such as birth certificates, social security cards and passports.
You should also use a shredder to reduce your paper trail. Pay and immediately shred utility bills, credit card statements and other paperwork that includes your personal information. Be cautious at work: “Familiar fraud” is common and occurs when a victim’s identity is stolen by someone he or she knows. At work, • store personal items like wallets and smartphones in a locked cabinet. Don’t copy or scan sensitive documents, as memory functions can save your data. At night, turn your computer off and sign out of sensitive sites. Change passwords often. If you have any concerns with the way your company stores personnel records, talk to your employer or human resources department about their protocols. Get smart with your smartphone: Smartphones and other devices can be a data goldmine for identity thieves. Use locking features on all your devices, including your laptop. Don’t use automatic
login features and always log off when you are finished. Always keep your computer’s anti-virus software up-to-date and be cautious when using public wi-fi. Finally, when upgrading your mobile device to the latest model, be sure to scrub all the data from your old device before switching to your new phone. Monitor your credit: Consider enrolling in a credit monitoring product such as Experian CreditWorks, which offers additional peace of mind through real-time notifications of any changes to your Experian Credit Report. Changes to your report are important to review, as they may be signs of fraud. The newest CreditWorks feature, Experian CreditLock, can be especially helpful in taking greater control over your credit information. This product feature allows you to easily lock and unlock your Experian Credit Report in real-time without formally freezing your credit report, which can be a cumbersome process.
By locking your Experian Credit Report, creditors no longer have access to it (except for soft inquiries from creditors with whom you already have a financial relationship), which means criminals can’t apply for credit in your name. This should help deter identity thieves, as well as block unwanted inquiries that result in extensions of credit, which can impact your credit scores. In addition, if a creditor or lender tries to access your report, you’ll receive a real-time alert via email and app notification so you can take action immediately. By safeguarding your information and monitoring your credit, you can better ward off the threat of identity theft.

Biotech Company Files Two More Patents for Proprietary Cancer Cure Contributed Article NewsUSA
It is the disease that cost more than 8 million people their lives in 2012 and sees 14 million diagnosed every year. It comes in many forms and there is no cure -yet. Part of the problem in finding a cure is that while scientists used to think they knew how cancer operated, it is only in the last decade that they have been able to better understand this insidious disease. Cancer is much more complex than originally thought. But one company thinks it may have a solution. Propanc Health Group Corporation (OTCB: PPCH) is focusing on developing treatments for cancer patients suffering from solid tumors such as pancreatic, ovarian, and colorectal cancers. Up until recently, the company had four patent applications for its lead product, PRP, a proenzyme, anti-cancer compound which targets cancer stem cell eradication while sparing normal stem cells. Now the company has added two more to its portfolio.
"I have no doubt PRP represents a new therapeutic drug class with significant potential [because] when confirming PRP's effectiveness across a broad range of cancers, we also confirmed a synergistic response between the two proenzymes to the majority of cancer cell lines tested," says Dr. Julian Kenyon, Propane's Chief Scientific Officer. "We also noticed that for some cancer types, multiple combinations of the two proenzymes proved to be effective." Propanc recently met with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to discuss formal pre-clinical and clinical development of PRP. In addition, the company said it intends to apply for orphan drug designation for pancreatic and ovarian cancers in the US and Europe in the near future. With the advent of five new patents, this biotech company is catching the eye of investors. In March 2016, Propanc received more than $1 million from an institutional investor for the purpose of fast-tracking its pre-clinical activities, bringing its received total to approximately $3.6 million. According to Global Analyst Reports, the combined world market for pancreatic, ovarian and colorectal cancers is expected to reach more than $12 billion by 2020.

to effect institutional change as it relates to early childhood and family support in public libraries. A three-year evaluation of this grant by Nagle & Associates, a full-service national consulting firm, supports Deerr's statement. This study follows 28 libraries implementing the Family Place Libraries model. The evaluation found positive changes in children's librarians' knowledge, attitudes and practices; children's services; and attitudes toward children's services. The evaluation also found positive changes in parents' perceptions of libraries. "Parents who made connections to their local libraries came to deeply appreciate and use the library as part of their

Fredonia Department of Theatre and Dance to Offer Rollicking Version of Gilbert and Sullivan Classic “The Pirates of Penzance” Contributed Article Fredonia Department of Theatre and Dance
Take a bright, clever score from the team of Gilbert and Sullivan, add a delightfully absurd storyline, top it off with plenty of pirates and you have the next offering in the Walter Gloor Mainstage Series at the State University of New York at Fredonia. The Department of Theatre and Dance presents six performances of “The Pirates of Penzance” from March 31 to April 8 in Marvel Theatre at Rockefeller Arts Center on the Fredonia campus. Directing will be Tom Loughlin, who recently retired after a 28-year run with the Department. Loughlin said there are many factors that make “The Pirates of Penzance” such a compelling piece of theater. “First off, it’s one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s greatest operettas, with a bright, clever score and a delightfully absurd storyline,” he said. “Second, it’s a show that’s rather like a meringue – light, fluffy, tasty, fun, sugary. Thirdly, it’s pirates! And what’s more fun than pirates?” Gilbert and Sullivan’s famous farce follows young Frederic, an orphan who has mistakenly been apprenticed to an ineffectual but raucous band of pirates. Frederic falls for the beautiful Mabel, the daughter of Major-General Stanley. The Major-General, it turns out, has a “bevy of beautiful daughters” who catch the eye of the rest of the pirate band. The prospect of having pirates as sons-in-law is far less than appealing to the Major-General, so the road to romance proves a to be a rocky one. The Mainstage production is based on the 1980 Joseph Papp
The cast of the Fredonia Department of Theatre and Dance production of “The Pirates of Penzance” includes, from left, Jeff Kringer as Frederic, Kordell Key Andre Hammond as the Pirate King and Genevieve Ellis as Mabel. The Walter Gloor Mainstage Series event opens March 31 for six performances in Marvel Theatre on the State University of New York at Fredonia campus.
adaptation, which was presented on Broadway by New York Shakespeare Festival. The original cast featured Linda Ronstadt, Rex Smith and Kevin Kline and the production went on to earn three Tony Awards and five Drama Desk Awards. “The Pirates of Penzance” was written in 1879 by the British team of W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan. The duo collaborated on 14 comic operas between 1871 and 1896, including “H.M.S. Pinafore” and “The Mikado.” The works of Gilbert and Sullivan have enjoyed broad and enduring international success and are still performed frequently throughout the world.
Loughlin noted that both the original version and the Papp revival use essentially the same score and plot. “I think in both versions there is a lack of seriousness that makes the work very enjoyable,” the director said. “As to differences, I think the Joseph Papp production took what was originally a lighthearted satire and amped it up to a swashbuckling comedy more in line with a zany Errol Flynn adventure with a ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ flavor.” Approximately 100 Fredonia students will be involved in the production. “There are 42 members of the cast and when all is said and
done, probably just as many students will have contributed something backstage,” Loughlin said. “There will also be a pit orchestra of about 15 musicians under the direction of Professor Ray Stewart (of the School of Music).” “The Pirates of Penzance” will feature the high-quality production values that the Department of Theatre and Dance Mainstage events are known for. “I think audiences will enjoy many of the production values such as the set (which will be a rolling pirate ship), the costumes and lighting,” Loughlin said. “The singing will also be a treat, with three different choruses (pirates, daughters,
and police). We also are planning some ‘over-the-top’ slapstick comedy which we hope will bring the laughs.” Show times are 7:30 p.m. on March 31 and April 1, 6, 7 and 8. There will be a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, April 2. This Mainstage Series event is sponsored by Midtown Realty Company as part of the Lake Shore Savings Season. In the end, Loughlin expects audience members will have a “rollicking, frolicking, swashbuckling good time!” Tickets are available through the Fredonia Campus Ticket Office in the Williams Center, online at fredonia.edu/tickets and by phone at 673-3501.

Getting behind the wheel for an extended road trip? To keep road warriors comfortable and content on their drives, Autotrader editors offer some of their top travel tips. • Tune up. Do a quick check on the essentials before you head out. Check the wear and pressure on your tires, and be sure your fluids (oil, coolant • and wiper fluid) are topped off. For do-it-yourselfers, you can perform these quick and easy inspections on your own. For added peace of mind, visit your local mechanic or dealership where you can have your car serviced by an accredited technician. Tending to potential issues proactively • means you are more likely to avoid having to deal with them while you’re on the road.
Avoid “are we there yet”? Technology features like built-in screens and DVD players can be saviors on the road, but if your car doesn't come equipped with these, consider bringing along a handheld device so kids can play games or watch videos. And if technology isn't your thing, remember that magnetized board games and word games can work just as well. You can also encourage kids to stay occupied by having them help you navigate and by playing DJ. Have patience. These days, your car’s navigation tools can offer realistic travel times, but be prepared for the unexpected. Inclement weather, traffic and bathroom requests can set you back. Give yourself extra time to reach your destination. Have fun! Road trips can be a great pastime for the whole family while creating wonderful memories. Enjoy the adventure of it!

How Ethanol Can Impact Your Engine Contributed Article NewsUSA
When consumers fill their tanks at the gas station, they will see signs reading "may contain 10 percent Ethanol. However, many don't know what this means or how it can affect their engine performance. Ethanol-blended fuel has become standard in the United States, and the Environmental Protection Agency recently mandated an increase in the amount of ethanol added to fuel;, meaning, it is even more important that consumers understand the pros and cons of Ethanol. Ethanol is a biofuel distilled from corn and sugar that has many benefits, including reducing greenhouse emissions and lowering the cost of fuel at the pump. However, ethanol-blended fuel can also have negative side effects on your car, boat and small engines, such as lawnmowers and snowblowers, over time. Some signs that ethanol is affecting your engine's performance include: • Efficiency: Ethanol-blended fuel's lower energy efficiency may reduce fuel economy of your engine. • Stalling: Ethanol can cause engine stalling if the water in the ethanol separates from the gasoline and floods the engine. This problem is most likely in engines that sit unused for long periods of time. • Corrosion: Ethanol can contribute to corrosion of fuel tanks and other components, and the risk is even greater with small engines with aluminum parts.
•
Clogging: Ethanol can loosen debris in the fuel line that leads to clogs. Fortunately, there are several easy things you can do to help protect your engine from ethanol-related side effects. Treatment: Using a non-alcohol based fuel stabilizer and treatment product, such as STA-BIL 360 Performance, can help protect gas-powered engines. A stabilizer may be especially beneficial for engines that sit for long periods without starting. Stabilizers are designed to absorb the excess water that may be present if ethanol begins to separate from gasoline and protect the insides of the fuel tank and parts. Turn it on: Start up your stored classic car, boat and seasonal equipment, such as lawn mowers or snow blowers a few times during the off-season months to make sure they are running smoothly. Tank it up: Cars, lawn mowers, snow blowers, boats, and other gasoline-powered tools and vehicles should keep their tanks at 95 percent full with fuel, and add a fuel stabilizer if they are tosit unused for a long time. This strategy helps prevent condensation while allowing room for expansion in warmer weather. Trust your source: Buy fuel from a reputable gas station. A station with a quick turnover of their products helps ensure that the gasoline is fresh. Test the lines: Rubber fuel lines dating from before the mid-1980's should be inspected. These lines may not be compatible with ethanol-blended fuel, and may need to be replaced. For more information about protecting your engine, visit www.sta-bil.com.
