In an effort to celebrate the importance of immunizations for a healthy start and throughout the lifespan and to make sure children are protected with all the vaccines they need, the Chautauqua County Department of Health and Human Services is joining with partners nationwide in recognizing August as National Immunization Awareness Month. You want to do what is best for your children. You know about the importance of car seats, baby gates and other ways to keep them safe. But, did you know that one of the best ways to protect your children is to make sure they have all of their vaccinations? National Immunization Awareness Month is a reminder that children need vaccines right from the start. “Children who don’t receive recommended vaccines are at risk of getting the disease or illness and of having a severe case,” said Christine Schuyler, Chautauqua County Director of Health and Human Services. “Every dose of every vaccine is important to protect your child and others in the community from infectious diseases. Talk to your doctor or other health I care professional to make sure your child is up to date on all the vaccines he or d d she needs.” I Immunizations can save your child’s life. Because of advances in medical sciT ence, your child can be protected against more diseases than ever before. Some d diseases that once injured or killed thousands of children are no longer common v in the U.S. – primarily due to safe and effective vaccines. Polio is one example z of the great impact that vaccines have had in the United States. Polio was once America’s most feared disease, causing death and paralysis across the country, butI d thanks to vaccination, the United States has been polio-free since 1979. t Vaccination is very safe and effective. Vaccines are only given to children after d careful review by scientists, doctors, and healthcare professionals. Vaccine side w effects are almost always mild such as redness or swelling at the site of the shot, a but this is minimal compared to the pain, discomfort, and risk of injury and w death from the diseases these vaccines prevent. Serious side effects following vac- c cination, such as severe allergic reaction, are very rare. The disease-prevention t benefits of getting vaccinated are much greater than the possible side effects for F almost all children. w Immunization protects others you care about. Children in the U.S. still get vaccine-preventable diseases. In fact, there have been resurgences of measles and whooping cough (pertussis) over the past few years. For example, in 2014, there were 667 cases of measles in 27 states, the greatest number of cases since measles was eliminated in 2000. The following year saw measles cases as well. During 2015, 147 people were part of a large, multi-state measles outbreak linked to an amusement park in California. Almost one in 10 people who became sick with measles in this outbreak were babies too young to be vaccinated. While some babies are too young to be protected by vaccination, others may not be able to receive certain vaccinations due to severe allergies, weakened immune systems from conditions like leukemia, or other reasons. To help keep them safe, it is important that you and your children who are able to get vaccinated are fully immunized. This not only protects your family, but also helps prevent the spread of these diseases to your friends and loved ones. CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

FIVE IMPORTANT REASONS TO VACCINATE YOUR CHILD, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4
Immunizations can save your family time and money. A child with a vaccine-preventable disease can be denied attendance at schools or daycare facilities. Some vaccine-preventable diseases can result in prolonged disabilities and can take a financial toll because of lost time at work, medical bills or long-term disability care. In contrast, getting vaccinated against these diseases is a good investment and usually covered by insurance. The Vaccines for Children program is a federally funded program that provides vaccines at no cost to children from low-income families. To find out more, visit the CDC VFC site www.cdc.gov/vaccines/programs/ vfc/index , ask your child’s health care professional, or visit the Chautauqua County Public Health Immunization website www.chautauqua.ny.us/273/Immunizations. Immunization protects future generations. Vaccines have reduced and, in some cases, eliminated many diseases that killed or severely disabled people just a few generations ago. For example, smallpox vaccination eradicated that disease worldwide. Your children don’t have to get smallpox shots anymore because the disease no longer exists anywhere in the world. By vaccinating children against rubella (German measles), we have dramatically reduced the risk that pregnant women will pass this virus on to their fetus or newborn, and birth defects associated with that virus are seen in only rare cases in the United States when a pregnant woman who was never vaccinated against rubella is exposed to someone who contracted rubella in another country. If we continue vaccinating now, and vaccinating completely, parents in the future may be able to trust that some diseases of today will no longer be around to harm their children in the future. For more information about the importance of infant immunization, visit CDC's vaccine website for parents www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents.

Little Explorers Learn About Nighttime Animals at Audubon SATURDAY, AUGUST 12 Contributed Article Audubon Community Nature Center
Perennial and Potted Shrubs 25% OFF for the month of August (prior sales and specials exempt)
3426 Route 20, dunkirk | 672-8849 | www.mrflorals.com open monday - saturday 9 am - 5 pm | CLOSED SUNDAY
“Shh…look…listen…to the sounds of the dark say Goodnight!” These words of Richard Jackson from his book All Ears All Eyes set the stage for Audubon Community Nature Center’s next Little Explorers. You and the three- to eight-year-old child(ren) in your life can learn about nighttime animals and their senses on Saturday, August 12, at this 10-11:30 a.m. program. A brief lesson inside will be about the nighttime world. Then the group will go outdoors to look for signs of the animals not seen during the day, before returning inside for a snack and, if time allows, a craft. Night ushers in a whole new world. A chirp and a swoosh and a chatter and a hoot. These are the sounds that fill the night woods and fields. Who makes them? Who hears them? What do they mean? Animals that are active at night have to use their ears so much more than their eyes, as well as their sense of smell and touch. The program runs rain or shine, and going outdoors is the most important part, so come dressed for the weather. The fee for Little Explorers is $8 for adults, $6 for Nature Center members and children. Reservations are required by Thursday, August 10, and can be made by calling (716) 5692345 during business hours or online through the Programs page at auduboncnc.org.
Inspired by Richard Jackson’s book of the same name, “All Ears All Eyes” is the theme for Audubon Community Nature Center’s Little Explorers on Saturday morning, August 12. Children aged three to eight and their favorite grownups will learn about nocturnal animals and their senses.
Audubon education programs are funded with support from the Carnahan Jackson Foundation, Jessie Smith Darrah Fund, Holmberg Foundation, Hultquist Foundation, and Lenna Foundation. Audubon Community Nature Center is at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, New York, and Warren, Pennsylvania. To learn more, call (716) 5692345 or visit auduboncnc.org. Audubon Community Nature Center builds and nurtures connections between people and nature by providing positive outdoor experiences, opportunities to learn about and understand the natural world, and knowledge to act in environmentally responsible ways.

As of July 1, 2017 employers could have started making deduction from employee’s pay. In terms of the PFL premiums there are several things employers should consider, including: will the PFL premiums be billed quarterly or annually, will the premium be billed in arrears or in advance and when will the first premium be due? Employers should also be considering when their payroll systems will be able to implement the employee deduction and when will an effective employee communication plan be in place to explain the payroll deduction and the PFL program in general? Many of our member insurance brokers, lawyers and accountants can help provide guidance to you regarding PFL.

Tips to Save Money and the Planet by Reducing Food Waste Contributed Article StatePoint
Nearly 50 percent of produce in the US is thrown away before it reaches your plate, according to USDA estimates. This waste not only affects the environment, it impacts shoppers’ wallets, as well. The average family of four discards $1,600 of food each year, according to a study published by the International Journal on Food System Dynamics. How can you stop wasting and start saving? Follow these tips to ensure the produce you buy is used to its full potential. Plan Purchases Plan meals to create an ingredient shopping list comprised of everything you need for the week. Don’t stray at the store. Select items that can be used in multiple dishes. Be sure to also consider your dining out habits; if you typically grab a few meals away from home, consider picking up a mix of
fresh and frozen items to leave some wiggle room in your seven-day plan. Organize Produce When it comes to using fresh items, your policy should be first in, first out. Organize produce in the order you purchased it. Keep items that need to be consumed first within eyesight and put the freshest goods in the back, moving food forward as you go. This will help ensure items don’t get forgotten in the back. Re-use and Re-purpose Today’s tomato slices can be tomorrow’s tomato soup. Simply place leftover tomatoes and a few other ingredients into the container of a highpowered blender. For example, with a Vitamix A3500 Ascent Series blender, you can create soup without the stovetop using the Hot Soup program setting to blend and heat ingredients. Or, if you have potato, carrot or zucchini skins available, store them in a freezer bag to easily make homemade vegetable broth later. Add the veggies
to boiling water and let it simmer on the stove. Drain, season and incorporate the versatile broth into recipes like risotto, curry and vegetable soup. Making guacamole or avocado toast? Leftover avocado browns quickly, so it’s good to have a plan for how to use it immediately. Why not whip up a creamy green smoothie bowl? Or, if you’re not hungry, make a natural facial mask to tighten pores and firm skin. Use leftover chicken to add some protein to a salad or stir-fry, or finely chop and crisp leftover beef to give texture and extra flavor to pasta and soup. Get Tech Support The latest smart kitchen gadgets can help you limit waste. Ask Alexa what you can make with key ingredients, or try a tool like the Vitamix Perfect Blend Smart Scale & Interactive Recipe App, which allows users to input items on hand and find blended recipes utilizing those specific ingredients. It can even scale any recipe to the exact amount of
Have leftover avocado? An all-green smoothie bowl can help you reduce waste.

Summer Gardening Tips: Use Proper Body Mechanics and Keep it Cool.
Contributed Article UPMC Chautauqua WCA
You have worked hard all spring planting your garden and everything is beginning to look colorful and healthy. In spite of this, laboring in the garden during the hot summer months can be exhausting as temperatures begin to rise. The best way to enjoy your summer garden activities is to practice safe gardening techniques and protect yourself from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. The shoulders, back, neck, and knees are prime targets for injury when working in the garden. Following these tips from the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) to minimize your risk of injury: • Warm up before you garden. Get your heart rate up by taking a 10-minute walk followed by some stretches for your upper and lower back, neck, arms and legs. Roll your shoulders back in a circular motion and slowly move your head from side to side a few times to loosen up. • Don’t overdo it. Be mindful of how your body feels. If you experience an aching back or neck, then slow down and stretch or stop and switch to a different task. • Use a garden cart or wheelbarrow to move tools and heavy planning materials. • Don’t kneel on both knees. Keep one foot on the ground to give your back more stability. If you have to kneel, use knee pads or a pillow to absorb some of the pressure. • Change positions and take frequent breaks to avoid stiffness or cramping.
•
Start with smaller projects and build gradually. Don’t try to do it all at once. • Practice proper body mechanics. Bend at your knees when you grab something or pull a week, bend your knees and contract your abdominal muscles to avoid straining your back. • End your gardening session with a short walk or some light stretching. Take a warm bath or shower to help prevent next-day soreness. Protect yourself from the heat and keep it cool: • Protect yourself from the sun. Wear sunscreen and a hat; drink plenty of cold water; and
sit in a shaded area intermittently to give your body time to shield against the hot summer rays. Didn’t grow a garden this year? Shop the Jamestown Public Market proudly supported by UPMC Hamot and UPMC Chautauqua WCA, The market is open every Saturday June through October, offering fresh produce from local farmers. For more information, go to jamestownrenaissance.org. To learn more about the benefits of physical therapy, contact the physical therapy team at UPMC Chautauqua WCA by calling 716-664-8278.

With approximately 14,000 acres of grapes, Pennsylvania ranks 4th nationally in the amount of grapes grown and 8th in wine production. The warm waters of Lake Erie are ideal for grape growing and the proof is in the award-winning wines ranging from Vidal Blanc, Riesling, Country Reds and Whites to Dutch Apple, Blueberry and Ice Wines. Stops at Arrowhead Wine Cellars, Arundel Cellars & Brewing Company, Courtyard Winery, Lakeview Wine Cellars, Mazza Vineyards, Penn Shore Vineyards, Presque Isle Wine Cellars, and South Shore Wine Company are highly

The Art of the Seam! CHRYSLER MUSEUM HONORS BASEBALL FOLK ARTIST
LIGHTHOUSE FESTIVAL
Contributed Article NewsUSA
All artists have one thing in common -they start with a blank canvas. In the case of George Sosnak, a folk artist whose work is being exhibited through August at the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, Va., his canvas of choice happened to be a part of America's favorite pastime -- baseball. To understand the artist, you have to understand the medium, its history, and the man behind the art. It was around this small, leather ball that the artist found a way to express his love of the game. While Sosnak was passionate about baseball, he was athletically unskilled as a player. So, he did the next best thing -- he became an umpire. After World War II, he landed in the Pioneer League for the 1956-1958 seasons, later going on to umpire in the ThreeI League (Iowa, Idaho, and Indiana) and Southern Association, before both leagues folded. With that, his dream of becoming a Major League umpire died. The Artist Within Emerges His calling to art came in the form of an odd request from a female fan while he was umpiring a game in Idaho in 1956: Could he paint her favorite player on a baseball? From there, the seed of an idea began and became an outlet for Sosnak to maintain his passion and connection to baseball in a way that he had never envisioned. Demand soon followed -- from politicians to U.S. presidents to baseball players and fans to foreign dignitaries, sportswriters, churches, and charities. On occasion, Sosnak would be paid for his work; oftentimes, he would give the baseball to the player, person, or organization as a gift. Over time, as with any artist, Sosnak's technique developed to the point that baseballs became murals for his work. Using India ink, Sosnak would meticulously and elaborately cover the

ball with microscopic text and colorful backgrounds. Many times, he would include logos from a certain team, using arcane material that he researched, commemorating everything from a player's stats to the night of Aug. 6, 1967 when Dean Chance of the Minnesota Twins pitched a perfect no-hitter against the Red Sox for five innings before the game was called because of rain. Collectors Abound Before his death in 1992, auction houses believe Sosnak created somewhere between 800 and 3,000 baseballs. As for worth, prices started creeping up posthumously as more people realized the individuality of his work. In 2009, the market was anywhere from $500 to several thousand dollars for a ball. For fans who may not be able to afford a Sosnak baseball but would love to see his work, the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, VA., is exhibiting his baseballs until Aug. 27. Admission is free. "His work combines the whimsical, artistic expression with endless statistics and game descriptions, that are so beloved by baseball fans," says Susan Leidy, deputy director of the museum. "Even if you're not a folk art fan, it's fun to see every possible detail about someone's career [because] everything is on these balls in the tiniest possible writing."

I got myself into a couple of sticky situations in which I had to punch under trees, but I was striking the ball with authority for the most part. As the title of this article implies, we ran into another very different foursome. This group was obviously comprised of new golfers. They were having a great time and even playing music in their cart (quiet enough where it didn’t bother anyone else, thank you
very much). But you know what they did? They paused after hitting their tee shots and let us play through. We were then able to just breeze through the rest of the holes. So thank you to those guys for being conscientious. You’ll notice I haven’t talked about Nick’s rounds. There’s a reason for that. Nick is dealing with the “Curse of the Best Round Ever” that so many of us have had
to suffer through. He recently shot a 44, which was awesome for him. He was playing incredibly in every phase of the game. But the rounds after that have just been miserable. Poor guy. Let’s hope he gets it back soon. I’m hoping to get to a course I haven’t played yet this year on Sunday. Check back next week to see where I end up. Until then, golf is great. Go get some.

It's Amazing How Small the Original Mazda Miata Is Now Contributed Article Autotrader
So I'm driving along the other day on the highway, and the above image happened right in front of my eyes. I was driving along the interstate in the far right lane -- or, as I call it, the "defender lane" -- and I came upon this Miata getting passed by a newer Honda Accord. And I realized just how small the original Miata is. Of course, I've always known the firstgeneration Mazda Miata (the "NA" Miata in enthusiast parlance) is small. Everyone has. It's a little two-seater, and it was designed to be small, and it's a tossable sports car, and it's now 25 years old -- and cars have gotten bigger since it debuted. But I don't think I ever really realized it was that small until this photograph. The Mazda Miata is now an old car, and old cars are small -- much in the same way we used to say that "MGs are old cars, and old cars are small" back when I was a kid. How small is it? Well, I looked it up:
There's nothing more to this post than my own little Miata revelation, but I think, in this moment, it's finally hit me: The Miata is old. When it came out, you wouldn't have used the word "tiny" to describe it; instead, maybe "cute" or "fun" or "sporty." But now, "tiny" is the first word that comes to mind. In my mind, another word might be "unsafe" -- which is probably why this one was cruising along in the The Miata is only 155.5 inches long, more than 8 inches wider than this defender lane, going even slower than which makes it roughly the same length thing -- and 40 inches longer.
