A kitchen is often the most utilized room in a house. Meals may be prepared, cooked and often eaten in kitchens, and the room is often utilized as a homework spot or a makeshift place to pay bills and stay on top of household needs. By enhancing the organization and functionality of the kitchen, homeowners can enjoy these popular spaces even more. Homeowners have increased their spending on home improvements in recent years. According to the Joint Center for Housing Centers for Harvard University, project spending rose to $472 billion in 2022 from $328 billion in 2019. It’s estimated consumers will have spent $485 billion by the end of 2023. Kitchen renovations were the most popular upgrade and accounted for the highest budgets in 2021, according to Houzz. When the time comes to renovate a kitchen, homeowners can take steps to make these spaces more organized and therefore functional. Here are eight tips to creating a more functional kitchen.

Did You Know? Professionals might be returning to work in offices after years of pandemic-related remote work, but that doesn’t mean home buyers aren’t still prioritizing home office space when shopping for a new place to call their own. According to a recent survey of home buyers conducted by the National Association of Home Builders, 66
percent would prefer to buy a home with exactly one home office space and 13 percent want at least two offices. Just one in five buyers indicated they do not want any home office space. The majority of buyers who want home office space prefer a medium-sized space, which the NAHB defined as between 100 and 150 square feet. Just 22 percent of buyers prefer a
8 steps to a more functional kitchen
1. Increase storage, and then invest in more. Make the most of corner cabinets and other potential dead spots in a kitchen. Various products can be used to organize awkwardly angled or shaped areas. Kitchen designers also can work with you to reconfigure cabinets and kitchen layouts. 2. Organize utensils and dishes around the sink/ dishwasher. Rather than traversing the kitchen to put clean dishes away, make loading and unloading the dishwasher that much easier by locating commonly used
items next to and above it. Similarly, place frequently used saucepans, baking dishes and other items near the oven or food preparation area. 3. Utilize drawer and cabinet organizers. Make a place for everything in the kitchen. Take out all items and see what you need and use all the time. Then coordinate storage around those items so everything fits perfectly. Pull-out shelves and Lazy Susans also can facilitate access. 4. Add shelves to cabinets. If you can afford to have a custom-built kitchen, by
all means design cabinets according to preference. If you’re using standard cabinets, you may have to reconfigure shelves and spacing to fit the items you have. This also will help you maximize cabinet space. 5. Organize the garbage. Have a pull-out drawer or cabinet to store trash bins. Separate compost, trash and recycling needs. 6. Create continuity in the room. Many open concept homes will have kitchens open up to another room in the home. Mirror the design scheme from
elsewhere in the house, and make sure that the flow between spaces is not obstructed. 7. Create a beverage station. A beverage station can minimize the time needed to make a cup of tea or coffee or for the kids to grab juice or chocolate milk. 8. Have a workspace in the kitchen. Whether paying bills,

making a grocery list or leaving notes for the family, a dedicated workspace can add more function to the room. Be sure there is task lighting nearby and ample overhead lighting to ensure that all kitchen needs are illuminated properly. A more functional kitchen can make this already popular space even more so.

South Dayton Depot 150 years celebration planned for Sept. 6 SOUTH DAYTON — The village of South Dayton will celebrate 150 years of the historic Depot at 108 W. Railroad St. with an event from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 6. Enjoy the 1800s by wearing your favorite old hat and bringing your picnic lunch and a blanket to dine on the Village Green. Greeters Benny and Sharon Bottita will guide attendees to 1800s activities and ask to sign their visitors’ book using a quill pen from noon to 1:30 p.m. Becky King will be the greeter from 1:30-3 p.m. The depot history includes the start of freight and passenger service by the New York & Lake Erie Railroad out of Gowanda in the 1980s. Former Mayor Larry Zollinger was instrumental in getting parts of the movies “The Natural” and “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” filmed in South Dayton. Zollinger will be available for conversation about the movies, as he was also an extra in “The Natural.” Through funding from former state Sen. Cathy Young and a grant from the Margaret Wendt Foundation, the Depot
was restored and is the Depot Movie and Rail Museum and home to the ticket window that was in both movies. The events for the day are free, exciting 1800s experiences and fun for the entire family. Relax and enjoy the complimentary Banner Farms Horse & Carriage rides around the north side of the village. Ask Civil War questions of Bruce Sanders and other members of the Civil War 9th N.Y. Cavalry as they spend the afternoon on the Village Green. Miss Heidi’s Piano Studio students will provide an afternoon of pleasant music. The Firebells will have a one-price hot dog, chips and a drink available in the side room of the village hall. Mmm Mazing Dessert Food Truck will be open for cool desserts, and the Saturday Farmer’s Market will have fresh vegetables, fruits, jams, pies, cookies, breads, homemade aprons, bags and more. For natural covering, events will be set up under the spreading maple trees on the Village Green. Jace Wightman will share his knowledge of

or two. Becky Wightman likes making corncob dolls and she will have enough material for 50 dolls. Along with the display of her collection of washboards, Wightman’s granddaughters Amelia, Darcy and Ellie will help visitors experience the olden laundry days of washboard and washtub of soapy water. The entire family can paint rocks with Sherry Taber, a
member of the Friends of the Depot. Glen and Sylvia Morey will show visitors how to make hearth brooms, reminding visitors early days of fireplaces as the main source of heat. Also, Glen’s famous walking sticks and a working grinding wheel will be on display. The children can be creative with sidewalk chalk and have fun making bubbles. In the Depot, Tim
Stockman, retired Pine Valley music teacher, will share the history of the Depot along with the history of the local train agents Clayton Perry, who had a 39-year career and last agent Bill Neubeck, who had a 32-year career, including sending telegrams. Also in the Depot, there will be a display of pig scrapers. Cherry Creek Woodcraft gave the event wooden trophy plaques for visitors to decoupage with a choice of pictures of Zollinger’s Restaurant, the Village Green, Austin Milling or the Depot. This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrant program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by The ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes. Business sponsors for this event are Austin Milling and Zollinger’s Restaurant. The annual South Dayton Fire Department Fall Tractor Pull starts at noon, Sunday, Sept. 14.
ASP Nordic Ski Patrol named Outstanding Nordic Patrol of the Year BY DEB EVERTS
RED HOUSE — Members of the Allegany State Park Nordic Ski Patrol were recognized for receiving the national Outstanding Nordic Patrol of the Year award at a Sunday dinner hosted at Steelbound Brewery & Distillery in Springville. Butch MacQueen, the patrol’s training officer, said each patrol member received a Gold Merit Star pin, which is the highest merit star given for the national level award. He said the group was also awarded a plaque that will be on permanent display in the Summit Warming Hut at the trailhead of the Art Roscoe Cross-Country Ski Trails for the public to see in the future. Mary MacQueen, who serves as patrol director and instructor, said the patrol’s dedication and skills were also recognized by the National Ski Patrol in 2020 when they received their first award. She said it’s a highly coveted goal for ski patrols nationwide, and most never achieve the level. “Our patrol’s favorite motto is, ‘Small, but mighty,’ and it’s certainly befitting of this highlyskilled, hard-working and close-knit group,” she said. “It’s quite an unanticipated reward for doing what we love.” The Allegany State Park (ASP) Nordic Ski Patrol’s commitment to excellence can be seen in the fact that out of 22

Nordic Masters in the country, two of them reside within their doors, as well as a Minot Dole Award recipient and many Nordic and Outdoor Emergency Care (OEC) seniors. The patrollers are led by Butch and Mary, who are ASP’s two certified National Nordic Masters, which is the highest Nordic level achievable in the National Ski Patrol. December will mark the group’s 23rd anniversary. Both MacQueens became active in the National Ski
Patrol’s Eastern Division Nordic, Mountain Travel and Rescue and Avalanche Awareness programs as instructors back in the late 1990s. After seeing a need for readily accessible emergency response resources on the park’s remote cross country trail system, they co-founded the ASP Nordic Ski Patrol through the National Ski Patrol in December 2002. ASP’s Nordic Ski Patrol is a band of hardy volunteers that monitor the cross country ski and mountain biking trails
of Allegany State Park’s Art Roscoe Cross Country Ski Area, keeping people safe and rescuing them in times of need. OVER THE YEARS, the ski patrol has provided many services for the park and its visitors, including helping develop and maintain local cross-country trails and assisting with areasponsored snowshoe hikes and moonlight ski events, as well as providing first-aid support for local running and biking races. The patrollers have
also provided wilderness training for a women’s winter training program, map and compass training for ski area/ maintenance staff and public relations and ski skill development to the skiing public. They have also given a number of presentations to local Scout troops on wilderness survival and search and rescue (SAR) skills, a Women’s Winter Activities Club and Nordic ski skills to the skiing public. Their highly-trained patrollers are one factor that puts the park’s ski patrol at the top of the rankings. According to Butch MacQueen, there are only 18 patrollers, but out of those 18, approximately 15 are instructors in various disciplines, including Outdoor Emergency Care, Mountain Travel and Rescue, Avalanche and Instructor Development. “While many patrols are packing up their skis and equipment after a season of patrolling, our patrol’s equipment includes not only cross country skis but also snowshoes, micro-spikes, bicycles and well-worn hiking boots,” said Robin Clark, patrol treasurer and former awards advisor. MacQueen said the ASP Nordic Ski Patrol is a four-season patrol — the epitome of what a modern National Ski Patrol strives to be. He said they are a tightknit group of dedicated
and highly motivated individuals who are wellknown in the Region and National arenas, with a large percentage holding regional and national positions. “As evidence of our patrol’s dedication to the national ski patrol, our patrollers spend countless hours in these positions, and our work does not stop at the end of our duty day,” he said. “Although our ski patrol is small, we are extremely active in the community and help whenever and wherever our local area needs us.” Butch said the ski patrol is 100% self-funded through donations from the patrollers and local groups. He said their equipment is well cared for and up-to-date. “We are constantly researching and evaluating new equipment to make our first aid skills more efficient and effective,” he said. “A couple of years ago, we introduced the Slishman tractions splint, which was purchased as a donation from one of our patrollers. Through demonstration at our local OEC clinics, this device —designed to immobilize and stabilize fractured femurs — has called the attention of local neighboring ski patrols.” For more details about the ASP Nordic Ski Patrol, visit online at alleganynordic.org and the ASP Nordic Ski Patrol Facebook page.

Philatelists, also known as stamp collectors, enjoy the hobby of studying and collecting postage stamps, among other items related to the postal world. Philatelists may
be on the hunt for items that are very rare and thus highly valuable. The most expensive stamp ever sold is the 1856 British Guiana 1c “Black on Magenta,” which sold for $9.48 million.

Signs of overexertion seniors can learn to recognize Exercise is a vital component of a healthy lifestyle. When paired with a nutritious diet, routine physical
activity promotes long-term health and improves quality of life. The benefits of a physically
active lifestyle are undeniable, but it’s important to guard against overexertion. That’s particularly important for
seniors, as aging produces bodily changes that pose unique challenges to older adults who are physically active. According to Easy Exercising, a Queenslandbased organization that specializes in assisting seniors with exercise, aging bodies experience decreased physiological resilience over time, which makes them less adaptable to stress. That reality underscores the need for seniors to recognize the signs of overexertion, a recognition that can help seniors reduce their risk for illness and injury. • Dizziness: The online medical

resource Healthline notes a number of things can cause post-workout dizziness, including overexertion. Seniors taking group classes may be especially vulnerable to overexertion-related dizziness, as they may be trying to keep up with classmates and pushing themselves without even realizing it. Dizziness during or after a workout should not be taken lightly, and seniors should sit down immediately, catch their breath and drink water as their heart rate slows. Seniors who become dizzy while taking a group class should alert their teacher immediately. • Soreness: Soreness is another sign of overexertion, but seniors should recognize this symptom can be a little harder to categorize. Some soreness is common after exercise. After all, a good workout challenges the body. However, soreness that manifests as tightness, sharp pain or a throbbing or burning sensation is likely a sign of overexertion. When such symptoms present, stop exercising immediately and emphasize rest. After sufficient rest, make sure a return to exercise is less taxing (i.e., lower intensity with cardiovascular exercise and less weight with strength
training). • Nausea: A workout should never make anyone nauseous, regardless of their age. Healthline notes feeling nauseated or vomiting after a workout are a sign that a change in routine is necessary. As noted, aging bodies experience diminished resilience over time, so feeling nauseated is a sign that a body was pushed too far during a workout. Seniors who push their bodies so far during a workout that they are feeling nauseated also are increasing their risk for injury and muscle and joint strain. Take the first sign of nausea as a warning that a workout has gone too far, and make the necessary adjustments to avoid a repeat episode. • Abdominal pain: The Maryland Pain & Wellness Center notes overexertion during physical activity can cause muscle strain and spasms that manifest as abdominal pain. Rest is necessary when such symptoms present, and a return to exercise should be marked by a lowerintensity workout. Seniors have much to gain from exercising regularly. But it’s vital that seniors avoid overexertion, which can lead to a host of unpleasant and potentially harmful side effects.

Nutritious school lunch ideas for kids No two children are the same, but many youngsters share a number of similarities. Few young children enjoy going to bed on time, and many can’t resist a good trampoline. Kids also have a reputation for being picky eaters, which can be challenging for parents tasked with picking and preparing school lunches. When dining at home, parents know which foods their kids eat and which they push around their plates in the hopes they won’t have to consume them. School lunch is a different scenario altogether, as parents are not around to ensure their youngsters eat a full and nutritious meal. Kids who are picky eaters may not eat any lunch at all. Parents who want to ensure their children get the nutrition they need to do well in school can consider the following school lunch ideas. • Make-your-own sandwich: Kids may be more likely to eat a full lunch if they get to put it together themselves. Parents can put all the elements of a tasty sandwich into youngsters’ lunch boxes, but let kids assemble the meal themselves. Sandwiches are not necessarily the healthiest midday meal, but they are much more
nutritious when parents pack whole grain bread, tomatoes, lettuce, and low-sodium deli meat in students’ lunch boxes. If a do-it-yourself sandwich is a nonstarter, consider a DIY taco lunch complete with whole grain tortillas. • Burrito bowl: A burrito bowl with kid-friendly yet nutritious ingredients is another great school lunch option. Red beans are a good source of fiber and the Harvard Medical School notes all beans are rich in potassium. Fiber is filling, so a burrito bowl that includes fiber-rich ingredients, including red beans but also quinoa or brown rice, can help students avoid late-day hunger pangs that can compromise how they feel and perform in the classroom. Burrito bowls are so tasty that kids may not even realize Mom and Dad have snuck some healthy foods like vegetables into their midday meal. • Parfait: Parfait has all the looks of a tasty dessert without the pitfalls of ice cream and other treats. The nutritional value of parfait depends on the ingredients Mom and Dad choose to include. Protein-rich Greek yogurt paired with some fruit and granola makes for a filling and tasty meal that’s also loaded with

AUTO CORNER Did You Know?
Consumers increasingly are turning to electric vehicles (EVs) because of their perceived benefits to the environment and additional perks. The United States Environmental Protection Agency says EVs typically have smaller carbon footprints than gasoline cars, even when accounting for the electricity used for charging. In addition, EVs can be more efficient in regard to energy use. However, it is important to note that mining the materials that are used in the batteries required for EVs can make the EV manufacturing process more energy-
intensive than making internal combustion energy vehicles (ICE), according to Earth.org. The Internetwork for Sustainability says EVs and hybrid cars emit more carbon dioxide than traditional cars during production. The additional environmental cost of transporting these batteries also results in a higher carbon footprint than ICE vehicles. However, the EPA points out that the greenhouse gas emissions associated with an EV over its lifetime are typically lower than those from an ICE vehicle, even when accounting for manufacturing

Football tailgate fare can go beyond the standards
Tailgating outside a stadium might not be as exciting as the game action once fans arrive at their seats. But tailgating is a big part of the game day fun. Tailgating is as much about food as it is fun, as it’s great to share a few laughs around the grill with fellow fans. When grilling outside a stadium, pre-game prep work is best done at home. Such is the case with this recipe for “Grilled Chicken Kebabs with Grilled Corn on the Cob” from Lines+Angles. Traditional grilling fare like hamburgers and hot dogs may always have a place at a tailgate, but these chicken kebabs are perfect for those who want to try something unique the next time they host fellow fans outside the big game. Grilled Chicken Kebabs with Grilled Corn on the Cob Makes 4 servings 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts 6 tablespoons lemon juice 1⁄2 cup olive oil 2 teaspoons curry powder 1 tablespoon honey Salt, to taste Freshly cracked pepper, to taste 2 yellow bell peppers, rinsed, trimmed and cut into pieces 4 onions, peeled and quartered 12 mushrooms, cleaned and thickly sliced Skewers; wooden or metal Oil for grill grate
Grilled Corn on the Cob 4 ears corn, husks and silk removed 1 tablespoon olive oil Salt, to taste Freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1. Rinse the chicken under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, cut chicken into bitesize pieces. Place the chicken in a large resealable plastic storage bag. 2. In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, curry powder, honey, salt and pepper, whisking to blend. Pour the marinade into the plastic storage bag with chicken and add peppers and onions. Seal bag securely; squeeze the bag several times to thoroughly coat the chicken and vegetables. Refrigerate for at least one hour. 3. When ready to cook, prepare grill for direct grilling. Preheat to high. 4. Thread chicken and vegetables on the skewers, dividing chicken and vegetables evenly. Brush the grill grate with oil. Place kebabs on hot grate and grill until cooked, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. When done, the chicken will be firm to the touch and turn white. 5. Transfer kebabs to serving dish and serve with grilled corn. For Grilled Corn on the Cob: Brush the prepared corn with olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Watching carefully, grill for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until done.
