BATH — Steuben County plans to move forward in the coming weeks with the construction of an additional cell in the county landfill.

However, county officials said there are still major details that need to be worked out.

The county still needs to determine which direction to construct Cell 4 of the county landfill in relation to the current facility, according to county public works commissioner Vince Spagnoletti.

“We’re dealing with property owners to determine first which way we’re going to go on that,” he said.

Steuben Trust hosts shareholders meeting Submitted HORNELL – The annual meeting of shareholders of Steuben Trust Corporation was held April 12. Chairman David A. Shults presided. CEO and Vice Chair Brenda L. Copeland welcomed shareholders and expressed deep gratitude for the distinguished service of two of the Company’s board members who retired.

Charles D. Oliver was a director for 26 years along with L. Victor Myers, a member of the board for over 7 years.

Shareholders re-elected the nine member incumbent board of directors for the coming year.

Copeland, President

John S. Eagleton and CFO James P. Nicoloff presented information about the company’s strong earnings performance for the year, asset quality, and growth along with initiatives from the company’s business plan including the new full service branch in Clarence, which is expected to open in the near future, when building renovations are completed.

“We are very pleased to share that core operating performance for 2017 was excellent, perpetuating a trend of record earnings. As a result of the Federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, a one-time non-cash write-down of deferred tax assets related to the

lower federal tax rate reduced reported earnings reflected in a reduction of earnings per share of $3.55 to $3.25 for the year. Net earnings after the adjustment were on par with very strong 2016 net earnings.” Additionally, Copeland said, “The five year average total return for shareholders of Steuben Trust Corporation was 15% annually.”

Steuben Trust Corp. is the parent company of Steuben Trust Company chartered by NYS in 1902 and member of FDIC. The Bank currently operates fourteen full services locations in Steuben, Allegany, Livingston, Monroe and Wyoming counties, as well as a representative office in Erie County.

Goshay:

Royal baby Boehner’s going up in smoke helps relieve the ‘Brexit Blues’

By Arthur I. Cyr

More Content Now

Big news flash seen and heard quickly ’round the world: Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, has just given birth. The newest member of the Royal Family of Britain, excuse me that should be the United Kingdom, arrived April 23 in good form.

The baby boy weighs 8 pounds, 7 ounces (that is 3.8 kilograms in Continental Euroweight).

Meanwhile, in news barely recorded by the world media, the House of Lords in the United Kingdom has handed a major setback to the tortured efforts of the government to withdraw from the European Union (EU). On April 18, the senior house of Parliament voted to demand that the government negotiate a customs union with the EU as part of departure, known as Brexit.

The supranational European organization began as such a unified trading zone in the 1950s. This has served as the basis for continuing increasingly complex political as well as economic integration. The EU also includes a common currency, known as the euro.

Prime Minister Theresa May’s hardline government plans a sharp break with the EU. This would facilitate negotiating trade accords in other parts of the world, without lingering bureaucratic ties.

The original European Economic Community began in 1957 with six members — Belgium, the Federal Republic of Germany, France, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.

Britain did not join.

Later efforts to enter were painful. After vetoes by France in 1963 and 1967, Britain finally entered the common market in 1973, but never embraced the common currency.

Over the past century, the House of Lords has slowly but steadily lost power to “lower” house of the bicameral Parliament. The House of Commons can overturn the vote of the Lords, but may not.

Meanwhile Queen Elizabeth II is the head of state of the United Kingdom and plays important if subtle governmental roles. Royalty and representative government have important comple-

mentary functions. Walter Bagehot’s important 1867 book, “The English Constitution,” brilliantly analyzes the “efficient functions” of Parliament and the “dignified functions” of the monarchy.

The former manages the government.

The latter performs the ceremonial activities of the nation, by so doing insulating national institutions from the passions of party politics.

The United States lacks such a distinction, which helps explain our own durable fascination with the British Royals.

Since World War II, the American media and public have paid considerable attention to developments in the British monarchy — the happy, the tragic, and the scandalous. That war helps explain why this is true.

Before the United States formally entered the global war, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and government colleagues gave priority to forging close alliance with the Americans.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt and colleagues reciprocated.

Britain’s King and Queen visited the U.S. in June 1939, just before the war began in Europe.

Our strategic partnership reinforces joint influence in the extensive areas where interests, commitments and policies overlap. During a 2015 visit to Washington D.C., British Prime Minister David Cameron lobbied Congress against further Iran sanctions.

There was no significant protest, even from Republicans. No other foreign government leader could have done that.

Collective British voter movement away from the Conservative and Labour parties is a long-term trend. This was directly reflected in the indecisive result of the British general election in 2010, which led to a Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government.

Yet no one doubts institutions of government will endure. Queen Elizabeth, prudent and responsible head of state, deserves some credit for that — shared credit.

Former House Speaker John Boehner has seen the light. Or something.

It’s not exactly what you’d call a come-to-Jesus moment, not like the one Boehner had with Pope Francis, which left him in a puddle of tears and repentance.

It’s more like a cometo-Cheech-and-Chong moment.

Boehner, who retired from Congress in 2015, has joined the advisory board of Acerage Holdings, a cannabis corporation that operates in several states.

Let me translate: They grow and sell weed.

An unrepentant cigarette-smoker, drinker and wheeler-dealer, Boehner was at times the embodiment of what makes people cynical about how government is run. He was a throwback to the “Mad Men” era, where business got done on the rocks and on the back 9.

Let Paul Ryan cuddle up with his charts and graphs. Boehner, it is said, left skid-marks precisely at 4:30 p.m. to hit the nearest Beltway watering hole.

Yet, Boehner won re-election handily because, despite all this, he was a battering ram who espoused the kind of conservative values his southwest Ohio constitu-

ents loved.

They loved his raging against the machine, even as he was part of it.

They loved his references to his Catholic faith and his son-of-a-barkeep roots, though his lifestyle bore no resemblance to the farmers and factory workers who cheered him on.

‘Hold my Diet Coke’

That such a person is now banging the drum for marijuana is nothing less than mind-blowing.

Boehner is joining a board occupied by former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld, who ran for president in 2016 as a libertarian, and Gary Johnson, a longtime marijuana advocate who also ran for president.

Now, Johnson probably would be better remembered for his wacky and sometimes-nonsensical responses during the craziest campaign in American history had Donald Trump not said, “Hold my Diet Coke.”

Boehner’s says his position on marijuana evolved based on his concerns for veterans and the opioid epidemic.

OK, we’ll go with that.

It would be nice, therefore, if Boehner would use his considerable clout to highlight the disparities in the justice system when it comes to marijuana.

Numerous studies across the country over

the past decade have found that although blacks’ and whites’ use of marijuana is virtually equal, at 13 and 12 percent, respectively, blacks are two to eight times more likely to be arrested.

Though the number of black people living in Alaska (19,909) can fit inside Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium (23,000), the Drug Policy Alliance reported in 2016 that after marijuana was legalized in Alaska, black residents there were arrested at a ratio of 17.7 per 100,000 people — 10 times the rate of whites, at 1.8 per 100,000 people.

Come on, Alaska.

‘Good people don’t smoke’ In Colorado, the percentage of marijuana arrests after legalization there declined by 51 percent for whites, compared to 33 percent for Latinos and 25 percent for blacks.

Boehner got himself elected the way so many conservative do: by embracing law and order.

But law and order is defined and tempered by justice. You don’t have to be in favor of marijuana to be in favor of fairness.

To fully embrace his about-face, Boehner also will have to buck his own party. Attorney Gen. Jeff Sessions hates marijuana and is threatening

states to get them to rescind their legalization policies.

Sessions famously scolded that “good people don’t smoke marijuana,” and once joked the worse thing about Ku Klux Klan members is that they smoke pot, so apparently, crosses aren’t the only things getting lit.

But the industry’s growth and legalization are unlikely to stop. Even in squaresville Ohio, medical marijuana is about to become a reality.

Someone in Columbus figured out you can fill a lot of potholes with a gaziilion-dollar industry operating in your state.

So Sessions is mostly being ignored by state prosecutors and governors where it has been legalized. Not even his boss is willing to wade into the fray, calling legalization “a matter for the states.”

But John Boehner has always been a diehard, red-tie conservative, shouting “Hell no!” in response to pretty much virtually anything President Barack Obama proposed. Even lunch.

What, oh what could have been the impetus behind such a miraculous change of heart?

Well, money is green, too.

Combo move will give you a complete workout

Attention readers: If you would like to include a news item in the Health Calendar, please email news@steuben courier.com. Thank you.

By Marlo Alleva More Content Now

When it comes to fitness, there should never be a dull moment.

And if there is, switch it up.

Every so often, throw in a challenging move, something to compete with your workout partner or just a personal challenge.

Today is one of those exercises.

Our move is a pushup, downward facing-dog, toe-tap combo. The pushup will be working your chest, shoulders and arms. The downward-facing dog will stretch your backside, and the toe tapping will target your core and balance.

Begin this move on the floor in a pushup position, hands positioned outside the chest. Keep your neck neutral, core engaged, and your legs extended out straight, with the weight on your toes.

Start this movement by bending in the elbows, lowering your chest toward the floor, keeping control of the move so you can push

yourself back up.

On the pushup, lift your rear end up and back.

Extend your arms and legs straight, bending at the waist, with your hips being the highest point, balancing on your hands and feet. Continue into your toe taps by lifting your left hand off the floor and reaching for your right foot.

Return the left hand to the start-

ing point, and repeat on the opposite side.

At this point, drop your hips back to the pushup position, to repeat the series of movements again.

Continue for a determined amount of reps, shooting for at least 10 times, or build up to that. Take a short break and get back at it.

This is a great total body move to do when you are pressed for time and need to target everything..

Avengers plus Guardians equals action-packed fun

By Ed Symkus More Content Now

Here’s all you need to know about the new Avengers movie: It’s also a Guardians of the Galaxy movie; Dr. Strange, who is on neither team, is on board; AntMan and Hawkeye are no-shows; it’s as packed with action as it is with one-liners and argumentative bantering — most of it funny, some of it silly; the bad guy is Thanos, played with dramatic flair by Josh Brolin; Tony Stark and Pepper Potts are planning or at least talking about their wedding; if you manage to collect all six Infinity Stones that are scattered throughout the universe, you can control the universe; the Avengers and the Guardians don’t know each other; Stan Lee does his cameo, this time as a school bus driver, at the 20-minute mark; Iron Man has a new, improved suit; so does Spider-Man; Thor is 1,500 years old; all roads lead to the planet Titan (no, wait, they lead to Wakanda, or maybe they lead to New York City).

Also, if you’re only a casual fan of this ever-expanding series, don’t worry, it’s pretty much a standalone story.

With so many strands going on (the above info only scratches the surface), “Avengers: Infinity War”

is both one of the biggest, grandest superhero films ever made, and it’s kind of confusing. While that sort of thing can weigh a movie down, no problem comes of it here. If you just roll with the idea that there are a whole bunch of good guys going up against one bad guy (and some of his really nasty accomplices), and that if they defeat him, they will in turn save the universe, then you’re going to be OK. Now, about those Infinity Stones: They’re very powerful on their own, but when and if they were all to be together as one, that power would be ... ummm, infinite! What exactly are these varicolored little rocks? Well, there’s a space stone, a mind stone, a reality stone, and stones named power, soul, and time. They’re scattered all over the place and big, bad Thanos wants them, and is traversing the cosmos to find them in order to, of course, get them all together as one.

The Avengers who, in the storyline, broke up a couple of years ago, are also scattered — in New York, in Scotland, in Wakanda.

The Guardians — all of them — are zipping through space, answering distress signals, when they find the unconscious, barely alive Thor (Chris Hemsworth), who has been beaten to a pulp by Thanos and his

cronies. That discovery leads to some of the film’s best and funniest dialogue courtesy of show-boater Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) and hunky Thor playing out a jealousy bit.

All it takes for our heroes to begin getting closer in proximity to each other is the arrival on Earth of a powerful and destructive emissary or two of Thanos (seems that two of the stones are here).

It’s easy to tell when they arrive; people are running and screaming in the streets. Even that plot point becomes a case of taunting and bickering and funny stuff. But the film’s main theme of a hunger for power eventually leads to some serious life and death situations. Kudos to the film’s writers and directors, all of whom have a few earlier Avengers-related films on their résumés, for maintaining a balance between the light and dark moods (a balance that definitely tips toward the light).

There are massive fights on Titan and in Wakanda, some seatshaking explosions and, in the last half-hour, terrifically done utter pandemonium. Right near the end we get a batch of startling events and outstanding visual effects and, because this is a Marvel movie, you’d better not go anywhere til the last credit goes by.

WHAT’S UP at MOSSY BANK PARK April 29, 2018 – The tide is about to turn. All through the first three weeks of April, Mossy Bank Park had been assaulted by one weather system after the next from the north, northeast, or northwest. The result had been persistent cold air and unfavorable winds for any bird trying to migrate north. On the rare one or two days that there was a southerly flow of air, the handful of species that winters in the nearer parts of the American south sent a few scouts north. April 14 brought the first of the year Hermit Thrush (Catharus guttatus) and Yellowbellied Sapsucker (Sphyrapicus varius). By April 18, a Killdeer (Charadrius vociferous) dropped by, along with a flock of Chipping Sparrows (Spizella passerina), and an Eastern Towhee (Pipero erythophthalmus). The occurrence of these species, and a few more, are typical of the earliest part of the spring migration through Mossy Bank Park. But these sightings are not why you should be excited if you are a birder.

That would be because the long-range weather forecasts finally call for more southerly winds, which migrating birds use for migration, surfing these atmospheric waves northward. These winds offer encouragement, these winds and the radar in Texas.

Admittedly Texas is a long way from the Finger Lakes of New York, but trust me, birds are gathering there, waiting for just the right breeze.

Everyday this time of year, just before retiring to bed, and again first thing in the morning, I check the NEXRAD bird radar on line, provided by the University of Wisconsin- Madison Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences. The radar on this site is obscured by rain/ snow weather systems, but when the sky is clear, the starburst patterns of blue indicate flying birds.

Judging by the patterns I have seen through almost all of April, there should be a bird on every limb of every tree in Texas. A few days, the radar also showed some birds moving up the Mississippi valley and into the southeastern states, and one time there was a small burst in Pennsylvania, but none yet in New York. By now, those birds on radar in Texas are restless local birds, birds wintering in the American south but headed our way, and neotropical migrants from Central and South America, which summer here and in the great boreal for-

OAK DUKE

Hen turkeys en masse move along a field edge in search of anything edible

D. Randy Weidner ests of Canada. In some years there is a rather orderly progression of those groups, but this April’s weather has the flow dammed up. When the floodgates open, get ready for birds!

One of those birds that winters in our southern states is the Eastern Towhee. I first learned this bird as ‘Rufous-sided Towhee’. There is a very similar bird, the Spotted Towhee (Pipero maculatus), of the American west. During the last glaciation the two populations were separated long enough to become separate species; but the two still occasionally interbreed where they overlap on the Great Plains. Both Eastern and Spotted Towhees are still rufoussided in both males and females.

Our Eastern Towhee male is jet black on the throat, head, back, and tail; while the female is dull brown in those areas. Males and females also have white bellies, but males also have white edges to their wings and tails, which they flash as alarm signals when they flit through the underbrush. The Eastern Towhee’s species name ‘erythrophthalmus’ is descriptive and means ‘red eyed’. Technically, Eastern Towhees are large, colorful sparrows.

As sparrows, Eastern Towhees nest and hunt close to the ground, preferring thick, brushy areas, making them a challenge to see. Like other native sparrows, they scratch the ground with the two-legged hop-back.

In spring they eat plant buds and flowers, moving on to insects, spiders, millipedes, centipedes, and snails in summer, and rounding out their diets with seeds, grains, and berries before heading back south. Nests are often in leaf-lined bowls scratched into the ground, or hung in low shrubs. Given their habitat, you are much more likely to hear their warning call, variously described as: ‘chewink’, ‘tow-hee’, or ‘joree’, before you see this bird.

And in spring, you might just want to take him up on his sharp, clear song, an invitation to “Drink – your – tee-e-e-ea”.

Give those hard-to-call gobblers the silent treatment

By Oak Duke When running a turkey call we normally tend to focus on making the right sound; tone, volume, and cadence of our yelps and clucks.

When a bird doesn’t answer back, the usual turkey hunter’s response is to hit the call again, and again, and again.

And it really doesn’t matter whether we have chosen to use a mouth call, pot, or box call. Our reflexive response to a gobbler that has suddenly gone quiet is to run the call over and over.

Wait a minute.

Then call again.

Silence.

Then call again.

My experience is that when this scenario in the turkey woods occurs, it’s the precise time to give that old bird the silent treatment.

Let me explain.

When calling gobblers was a young sport back in the 1970’s, toms would come in quite regularly to frankly, our bad and brash calling. They were new at the game and so were we.

And back in those days, coyotes were few and far between. Wild turkey in our parts did not have to worry about efficient four-legged critters sneaking up them too, so they could afford to be noisier.

But now, those old hard-hunted rope-swinging toms have become much more skittish and

cautious to brazen calling. And they have to look over their shoulder constantly for Mr. Yote.

Let’s take a glance at exactly what we are hunting nowadays in May in the Northeast and Midwest.

Chances are that longspurred three- or fouryear old tom in our neck of the woods has been called in and shot at, and maybe even raked with shot.

I remember one old tom that was invited as the honored guest at our Thanksgiving dinner that surprisingly relinquished three different sizes of shot (including mine.) We rolled the lead out like little marbles on a white dinner plate for all to see.

Gobblers are not only amazingly smart birds; they are incredibly hardy, yet the psychological blueprint of the wild turkey gobbler has not changed.

Turkey’s are proven survivors.

Down through the millennia, turkeys have found a way through the cataclysms of climate flux and predation since its ancestor Archaeopteryx grew the first feather during the late Jurassic Period 150 million years ago.

But one thing a turkey hates, and that is being alone. The flocking instinct is incorporated into its DNA. As a poult when danger threatens

the flock scatters. But through calling, vocalizations, they regroup.

As we know, throughout most of the calendar year, a gobbler is a member of a bachelor group.

Most often the jakes, or young toms group up, and the long beards form their own old men’s club too. And of course, the hens have their flock.

In the spring of the year, a unique change occurs, precisely when we hunt them, both sexes of the wild turkey roost and hang together.

The flocking instinct spans the gulf of the sexes only during the breeding season. And here, the innate tendency of the wild turkey to congregate undergoes this unique and profound transfiguration.

At this peak of behavioral change, a gobbler’s vanity is on full display, not unlike its widespread fan, drooped wings in strut, and red, white, and blue head. A tom shouts it’s boasting to the world with a raucous, leafshaking gobble.

Gobblers demand that a hen comes to them and bows to their iridescent splendor, spits and bass hums.

As his hens leave the roost trees in the spring to incubate their egg clutches one-by one, a tom is most susceptible to the silent treatment.

This is when we can use the flocking instinct against him.

It always gives me a certain amount of satisfaction to establish contact with a gobbler and after a vocal give-andtake relationship has been established, to simply put the call away, and carefully, quietly, move a little further off like a feeding, nonchalant hen would.

Maybe throwing out a purr or a cluck to keep him honest and interested, but definitely not answering his gobble. This is critical.

We are working a gobbler’s psyche like a heavy trout on a small tippet in fast water here.

I call it the silent treatment, when acting like a hen not impressed one bit by Mr. Tom and his masculine ego and bravado.

Gobblers can’t stand it and usually come in quietly, musing perhaps that the hen or hens (sometimes I judiciously putt on different calls to let him think there is more than one hen ignoring him) are much more excited about scratching in the leaves at a newfound food source than the appeal of his macho.

A vain tom just has to show himself.

This gobbler’s normal wariness and trepidation is overpowered by his pride, conceit, and arrogance and comes around a tree, right in range, falling for the silent treatment.

HORNELL — A push to promote adults reading to children is providing bonding experiences and forging a generation of Hornell area children who love to read.

1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is a two year old initiative of the Hornell Public Library, and is already building a track record of success.

Currently, more than 170 children are signed up, with 64 actively participating and returning log sheets. A tree at the library notes the progress of participants.

The more books read, the more the child’s photo moves up the tree.

Already, 12 surpassed the goal and are moving on to reading 2,000 books before starting kindergarten.

Not only are parents and children reading together more, but significant improvements among those regularly attending events have been noted by library staff.

“Some of them are moving on to chapter books by the time they’re 6 or 7 years old and that’s pretty good,” said program director Bridget Marshall. “We also have kids reading well above their age level.”

Any time that a parent or guardian reads, tells a story or sings a song to their child, it’s noted.

“It’s interaction where a child can learn and develop skills,” Marshall said.

Similar programs have noted improvements in literacy skills like understanding the structure of a story, recognizing sounds and letters, enhanced vocabulary and a better ability to listen, all attributes that make children more prepared to learn.

“We hope that they’re better prepared for kindergarten, that they have skills needed to learn at a satisfactory pace without falling behind, and to develop a lifelong love of reading,” Marshall outlined.

To learn more about 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten, inquire at the Library’s children’s section, or check out the library’s website.

Dormann Library hosts Children’s Book Week Submitted As part of the longest-running national celebration of books for young people and the joy of reading, over 750 schools, libraries, and bookstores will celebrate Children’s Book Week from April 30 to May 6 from coast to coast in all 50 states.

This May marks the 99th anniversary of Children’s Book Week; the theme for this year’s celebration is “One World, Many Stories.”

Voting for the 11th Annual Children’s & Teen Choice Book Awards, the only national book award voted on solely by kids and teens, has been in progress since March 1, and many locations will hold group voting in the class, store, or library until May 6, when voting ends.

We are proud to be hosting the following event(s) in celebration of Children’s Book Week: Books are on display and voting is

ongoing at the Dormann Library for your favorite book from now through May 6. All kids and teens will receive a free 2018 Children’s Book Week activity poster designed by Jillian Tamaki (while supplies last), as well as have access online at Every Child a Reader to original bookmarks created by five of today’s most innovative children’s book illustrators, and an original middle-grade “One World, Many Stories” graphic novel.

Children’s Book Week is a cornerstone program of Every Child a Reader, a 501(c)(3) literacy charity dedicated to inspiring a lifelong love of reading in children and teens across America. Other national programs include the Children’s and Teen Choice Book Awards, Reading Without Walls, the National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature, in partnership with the Library of Congress, and new to us this year, Get Caught Reading.

Nesbitt named Full Circle America Coordinator Submitted BATH – Benita Nesbitt is primed and ready for her position as Full Circle America Coordinator in Steuben County.

A Rotary International Paul Harris Fellow, Nesbitt brings some 25 years of experience in business, health care and higher education to the job – and hands-on experience in community service and care for the elderly.

She also brings an enthusiasm for existing services in Steuben and the range of services offered through Full Circle America, which is sponsored by Steuben Senior Services Funds, Inc. (SSSF).

“This community is very fortunate to have what they have,” Nesbitt said. “And it will be my pleasure getting the word out about those services and helping our seniors enjoy their lives as fully as possible.”

SSSF Executive Director Linda Tetor said Full Circle America, introduced in Steuben some three years ago, is tailored to help senior citizens remain in their homes safely and comfortably.

Developed by Dr. Alan “Chip” Teel, of Maine, it relies on volunteers, a professional staff and technology to help seniors stay at home, with more options about their care, and responses to unforeseen emergencies, such as

“Say you don’t want a camera in your home, you don’t have to have a camera,” Tetor said. “Maybe a motion sensor will suit your needs. We want to give our seniors what they want and we can offer programs that range from basic care to full care.”

Funds are still available to help seniors willing to try out the program, as “pioneers,” Tetor said. Nesbitt said she is already fielding enquiries and meeting with interested seniors and their families.

“I also will refer people to other services they may not know we already have,” she said. “This is a great opportunity for everyone.”

Students learn about careers Submitted Seventh-graders participated in Dana Lyon Middle School’s annual Career Day March 21. The morning kicked off with a short assembly with Tom Taylor, teaching assistant, speaking to the students about their future goals and aspirations. Students then had the opportunity to hear presentations given by local professionals who donated a morning of their time to speak to them.

Students chose three career areas they were interested in learning about and rotated through the presentations.

Some of the occupations and careers represented included law enforcement, heavy equipment operator, automotive technician/mechanic, engineering, computer tech, veterinary medicine, athletic training, culinary arts, cosmetology, ceramic arts and pottery, chiropractic and massage therapy.

The Middle School Guidance Office, in conjunction with GST BOCES Career Development Council, work to ensure this Career Day is a successful and educational experience for students and one that will help them start thinking about their future career goals.

Campbell-Savona students learn where food comes from Submitted

Cornell Cooperative Extension of Steuben County (CCE-Steuben) kicked off their receipt of a NYS Farm to School Grant by hosting a farm to school event at CampbellSavona Elementary School in Savona March 23. During the students’ lunchtime, youth learned about agriculture, met some local producers, and sampled a veggie patty, yogurt, milk and local potatoes. Over 600 students and staff participated, as well as Assemblyman Phil Palmesano, Steuben County Manager Jack Wheeler; Steuben County Chairman Joe Hauryski; and Joe Kilmer, Regional Food Service Director at GST BOCES. GST BOCES cafeteria management was key in helping coordinate this event with CCE-Steuben and the Campbell Savona Elementary School.

Several local farmers set up educational display tables about their products including: Upstate Niagara Cooperative (handing out milk and yogurt), Leo’s Honey House (showcasing beekeeping), Crooked Line Farm and Orchard (showcasing local apple production), and Bluebird Trail Farm (showcasing a diverse agriculture operation). CCE’s Finger Lakes Eat Smart New York program offered the samples of garden vegetable patties, and the school cafeteria added the local potato dish to their menu that day to help celebrate the event and showcase the Farm to School connection.

The event was scheduled during New York State’s Agriculture Literacy Week, a week dedicated annually to celebrate agriculture and foster awareness and appreciation for how food gets to our plate. Each year during Ag Literacy Week, a special book is highlighted. The 2018 book was entitled Before We Eat: From Farm to Table,

by Pat Brisson and illustrated by Mary Azarian, and displays the vast opportunities and diversity that New York agriculture encompasses. Students are taken on the journey from farm to table to understand different aspects of agriculture and the many possible careers involved. It is a captivating

LANDFILL Continued from 1A “We’re close now though in deciding which direction we’re going to go. Hopefully within a month, by the end of May, we’ll have made that decision.”

The new cell is expected to be around seven acres and cost approximately $6 million to build, Spagnoletti said.

He said the county expects to figure out where it’s building soon and begin the project in the next couple of weeks.

“We should be starting that work in May,” Spagnoletti said. “And it should be completed by October to November.”

The current cell being used, Cell 3, is expected to be filled up sometime next year. By that time, Cell 4 will be complete. “(Cell 4) should carry us through, we think, until about 2023,” Spagnoletti said.

MAN

Continued from 1A third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, first-degree falsifying business records, and felony tampering with evidence.

He was remanded to Steuben County Jail and is currently held without bail.

The DA’s office said Taft could face up to 15 years in prison on the manslaughter charge if convicted.

The indictment was the result of an investigation by the Bath Police Department with assistance from the Steuben County Sheriff ’s Department and New York State Police.

CORNING

Continued from 12A The goal, according to Schlesinger, is to reach a point where sales volume is increasing, mostly because of larger screen sizes, faster than prices fall.

“If we can get our volume to grow greater than mid single digits, and we can get our price declines down to mid-single digits or someday, hopefully, less, then our revenue will actually grow,” he said. “We’re not quite there yet.”

Still, he said, they’re closer than they’ve been in a long time.

“The pricing environment in display is the best we’ve seen in a decade,” Schlesinger said.

Schlesinger also addressed the effect of the recent tax reform bill which lowered U.S. corporate tax rates to 21 percent.

“We do business all over the world, and our tax rate is a blend of all the jurisdictions where we do business,” he said. “We do expect our blended rate to be about the same as the (new) U.S. rate, between 20 and 22 percent.

“Last year it was about 17 percent. The big difference is, in the past, we did planning activities which impacted our U.S. tax rate.That 21 percent in the U.S. gives us a sustainable rate in the long term.”

Officials also highlighted Tuesday the 23 production expansions currently underway within the company, including at the Big Flats facility, where production of Valor glass for pharmaceuticals is expected to mean the addition of 185 jobs, though it’s unclear over what period of time.

Valor glass is still awaiting approval by federal drug regulators.

And even within the lackluster Specialty Materials business, there were highlights of note, including growing interest in Vibrant Gorilla Glass, a product that allows vivid colorful images to be printed onto the super-strong glass.

The product is being used in some Acer notebook computers and for swappable back covers for Motorola’s Moto Z smartphones.

The company is also seeing continued growth in the number of smartphones that use Gorilla Glass on both the front and back of the device.

LAKES

Continued from 1A Stewart Park on Cayuga Lake, where Director Richard Hurley and his granddaughter Sophia commenced testing and debris clean up. Hurley stated while at this lake they collected the largest quantity of plastic debris from the Stewart Park Beach area – one full 33 gallon trash bag – and he estimated they could have picked up an additional two bags if time permitted. He also noted the phosphate at this lake was at 1 ppm, which in his opinion may be a precursor to a potential algae problem this year. Last July Cayuga Lake suffered from harmful algal blooms on the southern end, forcing temporary closures.

The second stop on their quest was Clute Park on Seneca Lake where they received assistance form Corning Brownie Troop 60842. Everyone present worked diligently to clean up debris and test the water. Debris picked up at Clute Park was approximately three-quarters of a 33 gallon trash bag – much less than Cayuga Lake

– but still a large quantity. The phosphate level was also at high at 1 ppm, another potential issue of concern. Last August the phosphate was at 5 ppm when tested by Hurley and in September the lake tested positive for Cyanobacteria, commonly referred to as bluegreen algae, forcing an advisory for people and pets to avoid the blooms.

The third and final stop, was at Champlin Beach on Keuka Lake where local Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and other community members arrived to assist with collection of debris and water quality testing. While there, Brownie Troop 41002, stopped by and learned the value of testing the water in our lakes and the work that Finger Lakes Learning does to help educate the public on water health and quality. The quantity of debris picked up from Champlin Beach was much lower at less than onequarter of a 33 gallon trash bag.

The phosphate level also tested much lower at less than .5 ppm, and at that level, Hurley is less concerned about the health of this lake.

Hurley was a science teacher at

Bradford Central School for more than 25 years. His passion and experience has lead him to educate the public on the importance of water quality and the environment. He started Finger Lakes Learning in 2011 after he felt the need to continue to teach people the importance of protecting our areas bodies of water. He stated that the most important thing we can do is to educate young people on the importance of protecting our planet, and that monitoring the water quality of local lakes is a very important part of that education. All results from the testing will be included in their annual report to NYSDEC. The next scheduled water testing will be locally at Tyrtle Beach on May 3, during the annual Tyrtle Beach Jump when CampbellSavona High School Principal, Kelley Meade takes the plunge into Lake Salubria. If you want to be a part of the work of Finger Lakes Learning, check out their website at www.fingerakes learning.org or email Hurley directly at rich@fingerlakes learning.org.
