New research at the State University of New York at Fredonia into bottled water is garnering international attention. The research — led by Dr. Sherri Mason, a professor of chemistry and chair of the Department of Geology and Environmental Sciences — found microscopic particles of plastic (microplastics) in nearly all major brands of bottled water. The global study of 250 bottles from nine countries said their analysis found plastic “in bottle after bottle and brand after

The Best White Cake By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
For quite some time now, I have been on the hunt for the perfect white cake recipe. When I say, ‘for quite some time,’ I mean years. I have tried somewhere between 5-10 recipes, and none of them were hitting the mark for me. They were just okay. When you want cake, and kids are part of your baking audience, sometimes you just settle for whatever comes from the recipe; the ‘just okay’ option. I just don’t have the time to bake cake recipe after cake recipe when I’m trying to perfect something, so it all comes down to trial and error. When I have the opportunity, I bake something new, and assess from there. It’s not all that often that I make the decision to add these new recipes to my list of favorites. So when it comes to white cake, which admittedly wasn’t my favorite, I had tried multiple Pinterest reci-

Chair Yoga Classes at Unitarian Church WEDNESDAY AFTERNOONS, APRIL 4-MAY 2
Contributed Article
Unitarian Church Jamestown
Have you thought about trying yoga but aren’t sure about all that sitting on the floor? Now you have the opportunity to learn to do real yoga using a chair. On Wednesdays, April 4 to May 2, 1:30-2:30 p.m., Certified Kripalu Yoga Teacher Rachel Tome will teach Chair Yoga at the Unitarian Church, 1255 Prendergast Avenue in Jamestown. These classes will emphasize improving flexibility and balance, with each person working to the best of their ability, recognizing that flexibility and balance change from class to class. The sessions will teach breathing, stretching, and relaxation techniques while emphasizing the practices of being present, listening to one’s body, and accepting where one is today in terms of flexibility, strength, and alignment. The chair can be very useful for those who have trouble getting down to and up from the floor. It is also beneficial to use when practicing balancing poses. While any form of yoga will give you the benefits of physical strength and flexibility, Kripalu yoga also teaches you to accept yourself as you are in this moment. A resident of Warren, Pa., Rachel Tome has been teaching yoga classes in the Warren and Jamestown areas for more than 13 years. She is also certified in LifeForce Yoga, a practice designed to help with depression and anxiety, and Prenatal Yoga. When she isn’t busy being a mother, wife, and Yoga teacher, she loves to hike in the woods or curl up with a good book. The fee is $10 per class or $40 for the entire 5-week session. Reservations are not necessary but are appreciated. They can be made by calling (814) 726-2011 or emailing yogabreath@ verizon.net. You can learn more at rachelsyoga.com.
Beginning April 4, Certified Yoga Teacher Rachel Tome is offering a five-week session of Chair Yoga classes on Wednesday afternoons at the Unitarian Church in Jamestown. This is an opportunity for those with somewhat limited mobility to experience the improved flexibility and balance that yoga teaches.

Build Your Workforce Through AMP Written by Todd J. Tranum, President and CEO of the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce & Executive Director of the Manufacturers Association of the Southern Tier Jamestown Community College in partnership with the Manufacturers Association of the Southern Tier and Dream It Do It Western New York has launched the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership (AMP). AMP has been developed and deployed in response to employer demand for a skilled workforce. The Advanced Manufacturing Partnerships (AMP) is an innovative approach to meeting the workforce needs of employers in the region. The AMP program at Jamestown Community College offers participating high school students a fully funded education, paid work experience, and a SUNY JCC certificate. The focus of AMP for 2018-2019 is the Industrial Equipment Technology (IET) certificate. Employers have identified a need for industrial maintenance technicians. The IET certificate was built to address this growing need of employers. The goal is to launch the program simultaneously at the JCC Jamestown and JCC Olean campuses in the fall of 2018 with a total of 30 students. We appreciate JCC taking an innovative approach to addressing a high demand occupational need in the community. Maintenance of equipment and facilities is a highly skilled, high tech occupation that is in significant demand. People in these job positions are uniquely skilled and many of them are retiring. The AMP program provides a great opportunity for students to enter an excellent career and for employers to meet their workforce needs. This is a great opportunity for employers to develop skilled industrial maintenance workers. Employer participation in this program is essential to its success. Employers participating will provide mentoring, part-time employment and scholarship support. Participating employers will assist in the student selection process. In return participating employers get a highly skilled employee who through this process has become acquainted with the employer's workplace, co-workers, policies, culture and expectations. Reach out today to participate by contacting Jeff Teluk at 338-1324 or email JeffTeluk@mail.sunyjcc.edu.

Here Comes The Masters
By Stefan Gestwicki
Star Contributing Writer
As has been noted in this column many times over the years, I don’t watch professional golf. I simply can’t make myself care no matter how hard I try. Contributed Article At breakfast with a friend of mine the other day, I commented that pro golfers are boringly good. In a game JPS without direct conflict, that’s just not entertaining to me. The JHS Class of 2018 will hold a Charity Basketball When Mike Trout steps in against Clayton Kershaw, I’m intrigued. When Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby Game: Teachers versus the Jamestown Police Depart- are going tit for tat on the ice, it’s interesting. When Aaron Rodgers escapes pressure from J.J. Watt, I’m watching. When 75 percent of the golfers are shooting well under par, there’s just no suspense for me. ment this Thursday in the McElrath Gymnasium. The doors open at 6:30 p.m. and game time is 7 p.m. The exception to that rule has always been The Masters. I can’t say why. Maybe it’s the symbolic green Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for students. All pro- jacket. Maybe it’s because it’s the first major of the year (the same thing sometimes happens with the Australian Open in tennis). Maybe it’s because the tournament is held at the iconic Augusta National Golf Club. ceeds will benefit the UCAN City Mission. With the tournament coming up the first weekend of April (the 5th-8th), it’s time to get excited about golf. As any golf fan can probably attest to, this year has a little extra meaning with the comeback of the most famous golfer of all time – Eldrick Woods. You might know him better as Tiger. Woods has won The Masters four times (1997, 2001, 2002, 2005), but it’s obviously been a while. That said, he has back-to-back top-five finishes in his past two tournaments. Say what you want about his past or his personality, Tiger Woods is good for the game of golf. Heck, even I’m writing about the PGA and it has a good deal to do with Tiger. Woods is currently the Vegas favorite to win the tournament, though that doesn’t hold a lot of value since his sheer popularity plays with the numbers a bit. Right behind him on the odds board is recent Arnold Palmer Invitational champion Rory McIlroy. It wasn’t that long ago that McIlroy was being crowned by some as the heir apparent to Woods as the face of the game. So it’s fun to see them both playing well again (not that McIlroy really went anywhere). I mentioned that I get invested in the Masters, but it’s also the only golf I routinely watch during the year. Usually I stick to the feed for Amen Corner. If you’re not familiar with the course, this trio of holes (Nos. 11, 12 and 13) can make or break a golfer’s chances at winning the green jacket. The par three No. 12, can be especially fun to watch. On Sunday, the pin placement is generally in a preposterously hazardous position with water and bunkers all around. Mostly I think I watch The Masters because the golf bug is just so strong this time of year. I’m sure you’re feeling it, too. We had a couple nice days, then two weeks of snow and ice. The sun came out, but the temperatures stayed frigid. There’s green grass next to two-foot high snow drifts. It’s been a classic Western New York March. Though soon enough we’ll all be able to get out there and golf. Before you know it you’ll be sipping that adult beverage, taking in the aroma of freshly mowed grass and writing down par on the scorecard even though you got a double bogey. Yes, it’s almost that time. Until then, golf is great. Go get some.
