Hundreds of local and well-traveled Lucy fans gathered in Tracy Plaza to kick off the weekend's ceremonies.
Some fans gathered in the plaza to listen to musical guests Party of Nine, while others came to hear to Tammy Pescatelli deliver her humor and quick-wit, while plenty more showed up to watch the beginning of the Lucy World Games. Regardless of what they were specifically there for, they were there en masse, which is important to Tom Benson, president of the board of the Lucy-Desi Center for Comedy.
"The turnout was absolutely great," said Benson. The weather is fantastic, and everything is going perfectly. (Thursday night's) show with Paula Poundstone was remarkable and (Friday was) another really big show with three new comedians and Lucy Arnaz as the host. (Today) the party in the plaza goes all day and (tonight) Billy Gardell will perform. You can't ask for much more than that."

Lucy World Games
Benson, who was busy running the candy conveyor belt as part of the Lucy World Games, was admittedly very impressed by not only the turnout by the fans, but also their enthusiasm for Lucy's legacy.
"It's absolutely fantastic," said Benson. "There are people here from all over the world and it is very humbling. Last year was Lucy's 100th birthday, so it was a very big turnout. We were worried that support this year wouldn't be to the level it was last year, but we were wrong. The support has been unbelievable. Everyone is having a great time and it goes to show that if you put together a good program and promote the heck out if it, people are going to come."
Benson explained that sometime in the not-so-distant future, it would be wonderful to see something along the lines of a comedy hall-of-fame established in Jamestown, and year-in and year-out success during Lucy Fest helps to bring that goal along.

"We need this community's support," said Benson. "We're getting very close to making the hall-of-fame happen, but that can't happen without all the support we're getting here today and all the support we've received in the past. Once again, it's all very humbling."
Assemblyman Andrew Goodell, who stopped down to Tracy Plaza to enjoy the festivities, talked for a moment about a creative way he and Sen. Cathy Young have tried to help out Jamestown and Lucy Fest.
"Sen. Young and I cosponsored legislation to name a bridge over the expressway after Lucy and Dezi and we did that so everyone who drove down the highway would see Lucy and Desi's name and would be reminded about the museum and the comedy festival we hold every year. This is a way to get the state to put up an advertising sign on the expressway with no expense locally where you can't otherwise have any advertising. (As a joke) when it came to vote on the floor of the assembly and I stood to speak, a colleague of mine had the theme song to "I Love Lucy" queued. It was a funny joke, and the legislation passed unanimously."
With regards to how he was enjoying the festival so far, his words echoed many of the same sentiments that Benson's did.
"It's really fun to see Tracy Plaza filled with people," said Goodell. "Locals and out-of-state folks alike have come together to make this a great time. It's everything (one) could have hoped for."

Kingston couple aiding daughter's humanitarian work in Afghanistan
KINGSTON — When John Holdeman's day is winding down in Kingston, his daughter's is just beginning, in a drab, five-room clinic in Afghanistan.
Holdeman's daughter, Zaradhe Yach is a U.S. Navy officer and nurse practitioner who oversees a small medical team at a coalition forces base southwest of Kabul. The clinic treats up to 150 Afghan patients a week for free. They arrive by bus, taxi and on foot, sometimes from towns 100 kilometers away.
Holdeman and his wife, Cassandra, keep in touch with Yach through email and international calls, but this spring they've found a way to join her in her work.
The Holdemans will be gathering donations of toys, hygiene products and clothing for clinic patients at the ShareNet Foodbank in Kingston, where the Holdemans are longtime volunteers. The couple will pay to ship the items to the clinic through October.
"It's really going from our hands right to the people who need it," John Holdeman said.
The people in need are from tribes spread across the barren Ghazni province, where Taliban forces are still control areas. Medical options are scarce.
"Many of these families would not have access to a clinic if they didn't come to ours," Yach wrote in an email to the Herald this week . "The visit is free, the medications are free, and they are treated with care and dignity."
The clinic was closed because of a suicide bomb threat when Yach arrived in Afghanistan early this year, but it reopened in March.
When she's not supporting military trauma teams and convoy missions, Yach helps coordinate the clinic, which was built five years ago.
She makes sure the staff — an Afghan doctor, a midwife and a midwife's assistant — are paid, keeps the shelves stocked with medication and coordinates security and other logistics. Security is important. The clinic's staff receives threats from the Taliban for working with coalition members, Yach said.
The clinic treats patients with a broad range of diseases, skin conditions and infections and assists with family planning. Foot problems are common because some patients don't have shoes or socks, Yach said. The clinic has even treated rare cases of polio.
Yach said the staff tries to distribute clothes and toys and other items whenever they're available. It especially needs sports balls, shoes and clothing, school supplies, and hygiene items, including soap, shampoo, toothpaste and sunscreen.
Even little gifts are appreciated, she said.
"I have seen otherwise very serious children and adults show happiness when small items are given," Yach wrote, "and this brings me happiness too."
Donations for the Ghazni clinic can be dropped off at ShareNet Food Bank, 26061 United Rd. NE, off Bond Road, through October.
The clinic is collecting new or lightly used clothing and shoes, toys and sports balls, school supplies and hygiene products.
Items should be able to fit into the postal flat rate boxes —12"x 12"x5" at the largest.

HACKETTSTOWN — For the third time in five years, Centenary College won the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association Hunter Seat National Championship, receiving the Collegiate Cup at Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex and Expo Center in Harrisburg, Pa. this month.
The Centenary team, coached by Heather Clark and Michael Dowling, finished the competition with a 7-point lead over the College of Charleston (S.C.).
Team riders were Katie Haley (Erie, N.Y.), Cody Wooten (Eidersburg, Md.), Caroline Norton (Lanesbrough, Mass.), John Ronan Buckley (San Mateo, Calif.) and Brandon Tammone (Lindenhurst, N.Y.). Centenary College was in the lead at the end of the first day and maintained that position throughout the competition, clinching the Collegiate Cup.
In addition, Centenary senior Haley finished in third place in the 2014 USEF/Cacchione Cup standings, as the event's third-highest ranking rider. The USEF/Cacchione Cup is sponsored by the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF). Centenary alumna and Equine Center Administrator Natasha Klingenstein placed second in the Alumni Over Fences class and third-year student Deanna Zajic (Pine Bush, N.Y.) won the Novice Equitation Over Fences class. Another Centenary rider, Tyler Linde (Kingston, Pa.), placed fifth in the Intermediate Equitation Over Fences class.
"We are so proud of our IHSA team, the captains and the coaches; as well as all of our other teams, their coaches, and our students, staff and faculty," says Timothy Cleary, associate professor of Equine Studies and chair of the Equine Department. "After all, it takes a village. Everyone from the Centenary College Equine Department contributes to the victory of our IHSA team."
The Intercollegiate Horse Show Association has grown since it was established in 1967 through the prototype competition program Bob Cacchione started when he was an 18-year-old sophomore at Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey, with the help of professor and former Centenary Trustee Jack Fritz.
Cacchione was honored at Centenary College with an honorary doctorate of Humane Letters at the College's 136th Spring Commencement on May 14, 2011. He has appeared at many IHSA competitions and events held at the Equestrian Center at Centenary, most recently speaking at the second annual "Building on Equine Excellence" event in 2012.
Today, from its beginning with just two competing colleges, the IHSA is an organization that encompasses over 400 member colleges in 45 states and Canada – representing more than 9,000 riders in Hunter Seat Equitation, Western Horsemanship and Reining.
Highly praised for its structure of competition, the IHSA allows riders with various degrees of experience in the Hunter and Western rider disciplines to compete individually or on a team. Emphasis is on learning, sportsmanship and fun.
Since 1984, Centenary has awarded associate of science and bachelor of science degrees in Equine Studies. It is the only four-year institution in New Jersey that grants such degrees, allowing students with a love of horses to transform their interests and talents into solid career opportunities.
Today, the college's Equine Studies graduates are highly sought after as industry professionals, including competitive riding coaches, trainers, instructors, breeders, therapeutic riding and dressage specialists, barn managers, veterinarians and communications specialists.

Organizers say the show has nearly doubled in size since it inaugural year, encompassing the entirety of the 100,000-square-foot Wayne Hall.
The show includes people selling and swapping whole bicycles or parts, as well as bike auctions, a Detroit-centric marketplace of small businesses, charity events, safety lessons for kids and BMX demonstrations.
Detroit Bike City was launched in March 2012 on the idea that "Detroit is the city where bicycles can compete with the long standing industry of the automobile," according to organizers of the event. "Detroit has always been a hub of transportation and we see the resurgence of the bicycle to be Detroit's next big push in the way we get around."
Tickets are $10. Kids under 12 get in free. More info: www.detroitbikecity.org.

|Endless Supplies of Hot Air Around Here
|Written by Sherry
|Monday, 02 June 2008 08:43
On the signs of summer here is the sight of multiple hot air balloons rising in the early morning light, catching the air currents off the Rockies.
This morning, much excitement as a balloon cruised right over the house, not more than 30 feet above us and looked like it was going to land in the park behind. At the last moment, the pilot managed to rise again and when last seen, looked like he was about to land in even more inhospitable territory a bit east of us.
Got some pictures but don't know how good they were since camera was facing into the sun.
If they were any good, I'll post them later.

Advances in Wireless Network Coding for IMT-Advanced & Beyond
In a classical network, data streams originating from a source and intended to a desired destination are routed through intermediate nodes before reaching their final destination. By contrast, Network Coding (NC) manipulates at an intermediate node those data streams by combining the data from the streams before forwarding it to the destination. This paper describes the advances of NC in wireless communication for IMT-Advanced and beyond. A short overview of NC in wireless communications is given first. Afterward, the application of NC to broadcasting is described. Thereafter, NC methods in uplink wireless communications, such as User Grouping (UG) and Relay Selection (RS) are described.

In Moscow, Irina Bokova promotes new humanism in education and culture
On 9 September 2011, UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova had the honour of receiving the position of Honorary Professor at the Lomonosov Moscow State University, at the invitation of the Rector, Professor Victor Sadovnichy.
The Lomonosov Moscow State University is one of Russia's oldest institutions of higher education and enjoys worldwide notoriety. Alumni include Boris Pasternak, Andrei Sakharov, Ivan Turgenev, Anton Chekhov, as well as more recently Andrei Okounkov – the Fields Medal laureate of 2006.
At a venerable ceremony that took place at the University on Sparrow Hills, one of Moscow's commanding heights, Irina Bokova gave a speech on the theme of "New Humanism and the Defences of Peace in the 21st Century." In this intervention, she stressed education and culture as two vital foundations for designing a more ethical, humanist model for development for the century ahead.
On the same day, the Director-General participated in the International Conference at the Russian Academy of Fine Arts on the theme of the "Humanist Foundations of Art." The Conference was organized by Mr Zurab Tsereteli, President of the Russian Academy of Fine Arts and an active UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador.
Irina Bokova also had a working lunch with Mr Vitaly Ignatenko, Director-General of ITAR-TASS News Agency and UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador along with the club of editors in chief. The discussion was free ranging, from trafficking of cultural goods to UNESCO's role in tsunami early warning systems.
The Director-General also visited the gymnasium 1306, a member of UNESCO's Associated Schools Project Network (ASPnet) in Russia and one of the country's most dynamic schools of excellence. She was greeted by the school Director, Elena Sporysheva and met with students from all ages, enjoying a presentation of their artistic, linguistic and intellectual skills. "This is a school for new humanism," declared Irina Bokova, "a school producing a new generation of leaders for the century ahead."
While in Moscow, the Director-General also had the opportunity to visit the Bolshoi theatre, to observe the restoration works with which UNESCO has been associated, and which are close to completion.

A weekend at the Inn at Stonington was the perfect weekend getaway!

Feels small and intimate, like a large B&B. Although advertised as a Continental breakfast, there was a large selection of items, including fresh fruit and cereal. Staff was friendly and helpful. Great location.

My first night away from our 2 1/2 year old was at the Inn at Stonington, close enough to get home quickly as needed. Our room had a lovely view of the harbor as well as a jacuzzi and fireplace. The breakfast of cereal, scones, croissants, cranberry bread (homemade), fruit, tea and juice was much more than I expected, and delicious. Staff was eager to please and offered many dining recommendations. As for Stonington Borough, it's a lovely town and very walkable (a little chilly on a blustery January day). There were at least 5 restaurants in walking distance; we tried 3 of them. Milagro, an authentic Mexican restaurant, has fabulous food; Dog Watch Cafe offers decent pub grub and a lively bar atmosphere; Noah's offeres superb homemade desserts and pretty good lunch fair. I'd go back for dessert again before I'd go for lunch again.

My husband and I stayed for a long weekend for my birthday last year-was a lovely place to stay. The room was large and beautifully decorated-but it was so hot we couldn't stand it. The heat wasn't even on and it was sweltering. We weren't in the main building we were next door in their annex. Because it was so warm we couldn't use the fireplace and had to sleep with the window open. If we were ever to go I would ask for a room in the main house-maybe it wouldn't be so warm over there!!
4.4 on November 28, 2007
The Inn at Stonington is newly built but in an old style. You have the look and feel of an older building, but everything is modern and works well. The decorating is great, and our room was exceptionally comfortable with a balcony, gas fireplace, water view and a deep whirlpool tub. The wine & cheese reception is a nice way to relax and meet people. Breakfast is continental but ample and fresh. The village is quaint, and there are good restaurants a short walking distance. This is a great inn to use as a base to tour the area, and I think it is much nicer than nearby Mystic options.
3.6 on November 19, 2007
When arriving at the Stonington Inn, we were greeted with friendly staff welcome. A tour was giving of the cozy Inn and we were allowed to select our room. We chose a great second floor room, which included a fire place, balcony and jacuzzi bath. A nice touch was having the bed face the water. The wine and cheese hour was very pleasant and we were able to get advice on where to dine. Unfortunetly most restaurants were closed because we traveled on a monday during the off season. The Inn was quiet, clean and overall satisfactory. The breakfast was alright. Both checking in and out was no hassle. The staff was eager to help while be unintrusive. I would definately stay at this Inn again and reccomend it to others
4.0 on November 07, 2007
A very quaint inn with unique rooms and a beautiful view of the harbor. The staff was very friendly and reserved a private meeting room for my business needs. We were able to borrow several bicycles to ride around Stonington and see the town, a great way to see it all. I would recommend this inn to anyone.
5 on November 05, 2007
The Inn at Stonington is a wonderful inn where we have returned numereous times. The rooms are beautiful and immaculate. The staff is extraordinarily helpful and informative about Stonington and Mystic. We love this inn and plan to return again and again. Since we visit New England often and live on Long Island, this is the perfect place to extend our vacation.
4.8 on October 29, 2007
We have made it a tradition to stay every Thanksgiving through the weekend. It is truly a very special place.
5 on October 21, 2007

The Washington Capitals have struggled to begin the 2013 NHL season. The same could be said for their captain, Alex Ovechkin.
Washington has only nine of a possible 26 points and currently sits last in both the Southeast Division and Eastern Conference.
Through 13 games, Ovechkin has five goals and 10 points. He is currently tied for second on the Capitals in both goals and points. Furthermore, Ovechkin is well behind the league-leading pace set by Buffalo's Thomas Vanek, who currently has 11 goals and 23 points.
Alex Ovechkin needs to change a few things about his game, and fast. First of all, he needs to score more goals. To do so, he should become a more accurate shooter and perhaps change his approach on the ice. And what about his leadership? He is the captain after all.
Here are five changes that Ovechkin needs to make to his game.

We are now at five days and counting until Super Bowl XLVII commences in the Superdome. San Francisco is a 4-point favorite to defeat Baltimore Sunday. But is it really wise to pick against a team that has registered road wins over Denver and New England?
Here's a look at a couple interesting Super Bowl stories and some other fine reads as the Big Game inches closer …
MICHIGAN MEN: The Big Ten influence on the Harbaugh brothers. Jim Harbaugh, San Francisco's leader, and Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh spent some of their formative years in Ann Arbor, Mich., when their father, Jack, served as a defensive backfield coach for Michigan's Bo Schembechler.
DIFFERENT SIDES OF RAY. ESPN.com's Elizabeth Merrill examines Ray Lewis, the Baltimore Ravens linebacker playing in his last game, from all angles.
TIGER TAMES TORREY PINES … AGAIN. Is Tiger Woods' easy win in San Diego on Monday a sign of things to come in 2013 or just a really great five-day stretch for golf's biggest name? Some golf experts weigh in.
BROAD STREET BUFFOONERY. The Philadelphia Flyers visit New York tonight and the Flyers have won just two of their first six games. Penalties and injuries have been a factor but it should be pointed out that Philadelphia did beat the Rangers last week.

Nearly 2.5 inches of rain had fallen in Raritan Township by 9 a.m. today. While the National Weather Service is predicting "periods of rain" for the rest of today, the rain will not be steady and this gives it a chance to soak into the ground rather than all run off.
The Flood Watch, covering Hunterdon, Mercer, Somerset and counties to the south, is in effect until 1 p.m.
Temperatures will fall as the day goes on, dropping to below freezing after dark. Because of this, rain showers could turn into snow showers later. Little or no snow accumulation is forecast for Hunterdon.
Gusty winds will continue into tonight.

Will Giles Get NL Rookie of the Year Votes?
If Ken Giles receives votes for National League Rookie of the Year, he might learn about it during an eight-hour shift at his 40-hour-a-week, minimum wage job at an indoor baseball facility just outside Phoenix.
Giles has spent the past few months throwing 100 mph fastballs and nasty sliders past big-league hitters, but he will spend his third offseason picking up baseballs in batting cages and giving pitching lessons.
"It gets me out of the house," he said.
Giles, 24, entered Thursday's series finale against the Marlins at Marlins Park with eye-popping numbers. He is 3-1 with a 1.21 ERA and one save in 43 appearances since his promotion from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in June. He has allowed 24 hits, 11 walks and has struck out 63 in 44 2/3 innings. His 0.78 WHIP is fifth among all rookie relievers since 1914. His 5.73 strikeout-to-walk ratio is seventh and his 12.69 strikeouts-per-nine innings average is 10th.
He would be closing right now, if the Phillies could have traded Jonathan Papelbon.
Giles will not be NL Rookie of the Year. Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom (9-6, 2.63 ERA in 22 starts) is probably the favorite with others like Reds outfielder Billy Hamilton receiving more hype and attention. But voters looking closely at the numbers cannot miss Giles' statistics.
"That stuff doesn't really matter to me," Giles said. "Awards are awards, numbers are numbers. It's nice to be recognized, but other than that, who cares? Staying up here was my main concern. Do my job and perform. I've been waiting to do this since I was four years old. That's all that matters to me."
It is hard to believe, but when the Phillies sent Giles to Minor League camp in March he really needed to work on his command, particularly with his slider. It has not been an issue since his promotion.
"I'm sure I shocked a lot of people with how fast I came along," he said. "I just busted my tail in the offseason to make sure I met those requirements. They were right to send me to the Minors. I had no problem going to Double-A, then Triple-A. It was just a matter of me getting that rhythm and that groove and getting those innings in."
Giles will enter next Spring Training as a lock to make the bullpen, either as the setup man behind Papelbon or as the presumed closer, if Papelbon finally gets his wish and is dealt. Giles said he is fine either way.
"Pap is our leader," Giles said. "I think right now he's the glue of our bullpen. If he comes back next year I think he'll be the biggest key to our success."
Giles will head home to Phoenix following Sunday's season finale against the Braves at Citizens Bank Park. He said he will spend his mornings working out and the afternoons and evenings working at It's All in the Game Sports Center in Peoria, which is located just behind the Spring Training facilities of the Mariners and Padres.
He gets weekends off.
He is pretty sure he the only Phillies player to work a job in the offseason.
"I just can't sit in my house all day," he said. "A lot of my friends go there. My brother (Josh) works there. He's my boss, actually. I got him the job and he ended up being my boss. But it doesn't feel like work. It's just hanging out with a bunch of my friends."
Happ Named Sporting News Rookie of the Year
J.A. Happ started the season in the bullpen, found himself in trade rumors in July and wondered where he might pitch in the postseason in September.
He still pitched well.
He went 12-4 with a 2.93 ERA in 35 games (23 starts) as Sporting News on Tuesday named Happ its National League Rookie of the Year, as selected by a panel of 338 Major League players.
"Over the course of the season if you try to be consistent and play the game the right way, I think guys will take notice of that and it's definitely an honor that they did," Happ said during a workout Tuesday at Citizens Bank Park.
Game 5 of the NLCS is tomorrow night, but you already knew that.

Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) blasted Senate Democrats Wednesday for politicizing the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby ruling and trying to cast Republicans as members who don't care about women's rights.
Coburn spoke on the Senate floor just minutes after most Republicans blocked a Democratic bill aimed at reversing the Hobby Lobby ruling through legislation.
Democrats have indicated several times that the vote was set up to make Republicans look bad, but Coburn said Democrats are missing the point of the Hobby Lobby ruling completely. He said the ruling was about protecting people's religious freedom, and said the Democrat bill was a brazen attempt to put the GOP in a bad light.
"The Supreme Court decision was about religious freedom and whether or not I as a private businessperson am still entitled to that as I carry out commerce in this country," Coburn said.
"This bill was a cynical attack on truth," he added. "I'm glad it's not proceeding. It's time to quit wasting the Senate on political games and start addressing the very real problems this country has, like the fact that Social Security disability will run out of money next month."
Coburn said that as a doctor, he spent 25 years caring for women, including both delivering babies and in some cases performing abortions in order to save the life of the mother.
"I've spent 25 years of my life caring for women. There is not a complication of pregnancy that I have not handled."
"I've cared for women that have had abortions, and the complications that that has completed and exacerbated in their own lives, from psychological to real physical problems," he added. "I've actually performed abortions to save women's lives, who've had severe congenital heart defects and would have died had their pregnancy continued."
He also rejected Democratic attempts to paint the Green family, which owns Hobby Lobby, as "corporate monsters" who don't care about women.
"Nothing can be further from the truth," he said.
Coburn was joined by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who said in a released statement that Democrats were trying to use the vote as a messaging bill to score political points.
"I am proud to oppose a brazenly political attempt to undermine religious freedom through the misleadingly-named 'Protect Women's Health from Corporate Interference Act,' a bill Senate Democrats introduced based on myths they have perpetuated about the Supreme Court's recent ruling in the Hobby Lobby case," he said.
"In fact, this legislation represents a dangerous attempt to erode those religious freedoms that I, along with 96 of my colleagues, overwhelming voted to safeguard with the passage of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act in 1993."

State police based at Port Norris barracks recently released the following information based on their activities from Sept. 7 through Sept. 13.
Of the 628 calls for service handled by troopers based at the barracks over the period, 15 investigation reports, including three detailing alleged incidents of domestic violence, 44 general police operations reports and 15 accident reports were generated.
A total of four people were injured in the car accidents.
Troopers conducted 59 property checks on area businesses, public facilities and homes, conducted three bike patrols as part of quality-of-life details, and initiated 234 traffic stops over the period.
Four people were charged with drug possession as a result of those traffic stops.
Troopers arrested six people on outstanding warrants as a result of proactive patrols of the Port Norris barracks' jurisdiction.
Four more people were charged with various criminal offenses relating to investigations initiated over the seven-day period.
Charges may be filed in connection with a verbal dispute that turned into a serious motor vehicle accident in Commercial Township's Laurel Lake section on Sept. 8.
Troopers dispatched to the 200 block of Jute Road at 8:30 p.m. for a medical assist learned 20-year-old Laurel Lake resident Shawn Gorman fell from a moving car.
Gorman fell from the car, a red Plymouth Breeze, after he had grabbed its driver's-side door jamb as his girlfriend, 24-year-old Laurel Lake resident Adele Wallace, drove it away from her Jute Road home, according to reports from state police.
Gorman was conscious when Laurel Lake EMS and state police arrived on scene. He was flown by state police helicopter to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, in Atlantic City, for treatment of a head injury.
Trooper Frank DaCosta is continuing his investigation into the incident. No charges had been filed as of Wednesday afternoon.

Geneva, NY -- Ontario County has received a contract for $3,256,000 in state money for the construction of the Finger Lakes Viticulture Center in Geneva.
State Sen. Michael Nozzolio, R-Fayette, said "the construction of the Finger Lakes Viticulture Center will support our local economy, create local jobs and continue to put the Finger Lakes region at the forefront of agricultural research and development, while serving as a permanent location for Finger Lakes Community College's groundbreaking Viticulture and Wine Technology Program - the only program of its kind in the Northeast."
The funding for the new Viticulture Center was part of last year's state budget. The Viticulture Center will include a winemaking lab, a grape crushing pad, rooms for storing and aging wine, classroom space and a teaching vineyard.
Students in the Finger Lakes Community College Viticulture and Wine Technology curriculum transfer directly into Cornell University's four-year viticulture program. Nozzolio said the Viticulture Center's location in the Cornell Ag-Tech park "will further strengthen this relationship and provide even greater opportunities for FLCC's students."
"After many years of planning and hard work, the construction of the Finger Lakes Viticulture Center will become a reality," Nozzolio said. "This important project will promote our region's wine and grape industry, support our economy and create hundreds of well paying jobs for our local residents".
"The Finger Lakes Viticulture Center in Geneva will serve as an important resource for local educators and Finger Lakes Community College students as well as act as a catalyst for future expansion of our world-class wine industry here in the Finger Lakes," said Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb.
"Our area has long been a tourist destination for wine lovers, attracting visitors from across New York and around the world," Kolb said. "As an educator, strong supporter and alumnus of FLCC, I am proud to have played a part in giving our local wineries and future entrepreneurs this powerful tool for job creation in both the agriculture and tourism industries."
"The new Viticulture Center will provide our students with the education necessary to contribute in significant ways to our region's rapidly expanding wine and grape industry," said Barbara Risser, Finger Lakes Community College president.
"The Finger Lakes Viticulture Center will be the crown jewel of the Finger Lakes wine region," said John Garvey, Ontario County administrator.

In many ways, the period after 1991 has been the most favorable to our quest to develop India. The post-Cold War external environment of a globalizing world, without rival political alliances, gave India the opportunity to improve relations with all the major powers.
The risk of a direct conflict between two or more major powers had also diminished due to the interdependence created by globalization. And the strength of capital and trade flows was directly beneficial to emerging economies.

This permanent magnet conveyor automatically removes and elevates ferrous materials such as chips, turnings and small parts without using moving external parts.
The conveyors use a continuous series of ceramic magnets to pick up and glide material along the stainless steel slider plate. Material is then discharged over the head end. According to the company, the liquid-tight construction allows lower conveyor sections to be completely submerged in coolant sumps or tanks. The working face is self-cleaning and excess fluids drain easily back into the tank, the company says.
The conveyors feature heavy-duty construction to provide virtually maintenance-free use. High-quality steel and non–magnetic stainless steel are used for the structure, slider plate and magnet assemblies. Some conveyor models feature the Tuf-Trac drive system, which is designed to operate quietly and maximize conveyor life.
Conveyors are supplied with magnets on 12″ centers, supported by twin roller chains or a double pitch chain with oversized rollers. Motor size ranges from 1/3 to 10 hp, depending on the size of the conveyor and material to be moved. For restricted areas under smaller machines, or where a relatively small volume of material is to be moved, a 6 1/4″ -deep conveyor is available.
A variety of conveyor configurations, in virtually all sizes and widths, can be assembled from standard sections. This makes it easy to provide special units to service hard-to-reach areas under presses, mills, cutoff saws or other machines, the company says. Standard conveyors are available as straight horizontal units or with an angle incline ranging to 90 degrees. A model is also available with a large, sweeping radius.

Day 3: Year of Renewed Frugality
Many people resist the notion of couponing when it comes to frugal living because they think it is too much work. I get that in some instances, it may not make any sense. For example, my mother lives in a rural area where her nearby supermarkets don't double coupons. To her cutting coupons just isn't worth the quarter she might save here or there.
However, where I live, both of my nearby supermarkets double coupons up to $.99 in value. Another supermarket that's about 20 minutes farther up the road sometimes triples coupons. When you are able to match a handful of doubled coupons with a supermarket sale, couponing makes sense as far as I'm concerned.
That's why the frugality tips on day three of the Year of Renewed Frugality is the suggestion to coupon when you can.
I had been doing a really good job of my own version of extreme couponing throughout 2012. While I wasn't achieving the 90 percent savings you would see on the show "Extreme Couponing," (which I think fudges the numbers to make for more dramatic savings) I was saving a good amount each time I went food shopping. Sometimes I could get 50 percent savings at the store.
Then Hurricane Sandy hit in October and threw a wrench in my home organization, including my weekly ritual of cutting and organizing coupons. It wasn't until December when I got back into my couponing routine, and once I did, I quickly remembered the value in taking the time to cut coupons.
For example, on a recent trip to CVS, I was able to combine coupons with CVS Extra Bucks Rewards to get two mascaras for free. A few days later I was shopping for a holiday party, and managed to save $23 at the grocery store.
I've found that the best way to get the most coupons is to find them in multiple ways.
Like many Americans I start with the coupon inserts that you'll find in the Sunday paper. If you don't get a Sunday paper on a regular basis, you may want to check out this website called Sunday Coupon Preview, which does exactly what the name suggests–gives you a preview of the upcoming coupon inserts in the Sunday paper. That way if you see coupons that you think are worth getting, you can choose to buy the Sunday paper that day. I also subscribe to Free Coupon Alerts, which emails me daily with the latest coupon offers.
You can also find coupons in your favorite magazines–mostly women's magazines, which seem to have a lot of coupons per issue. I do best with magazines like All You, Woman's Day and Good Housekeeping.
Also, you can print out coupons from online couponing sites, such as Coupons.com, Redplum, SmartSource, Cellfire, and SavingStar.com, which saves you money on groceries with 100% digital eCoupons.
Supermarkets themselves often have their own coupons available exclusively on their website. The A&P family of stores, for example, offers a way to load coupons onto your store loyalty card. Plus you can stack physical coupons with these offers, allowing you to save twice as much. And you can always find coupons on the shelves in those "blinkie" dispensers or the "peelies" on packages. Finally, don't forget the catalina coupons that print at checkout.
Again, I realize that cutting coupons can be time consuming. But if you can work them into your supermarket trips in a way that saves you a reasonable amount of money on the groceries you were going to buy anyway, why wouldn't you coupon when you can?
Please share your own frugality tips for couponing that show how they really do help you to save money on food shopping.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Get the tissues ready because people with allergies on Staten Island and throughout the Northeast will be coughing their way through spring, based on the predictions from forecasters.
While everyone on Staten Island probably will be glad to see the snow and freezing temperatures go since it's the first day of spring on Thursday, cold weather can delay the start of an allergy season and that is expected to be the case in the northeast. But then watch out because allergies are anticipated to peak with a vengeance in the third week of May.
"When it does hit, it can be sudden and hard," said Dr. David Shulan, a certified allergy and asthma consultant in
Albany for AccuWeather.com.
Lead long-range forecaster Paul Pastelok said that a persistent area of high pressure stationed off the coast of New England will create wetter conditions for the Southeast this spring so intense allergies are expected to hit there first around April 9. In the Northeast, spring allergies will peak an average of six weeks later around May 21.
Frosts and freezes can slow down or stop an allergy season already in progress, as plants are heavily influenced by sunlight and temperatures, and heavy rains may wash some of pollen out of the air. However, for those who suffer from allergies, once their symptoms start the count may not make much of a difference in terms of discomfort.
To get relief from their symptoms, Dr. Shulan recommends that allergy sufferers take over-the-counter or prescription antihistamines. Nasal sprays can provide faster-acting relief. People looking to use a topical steroid cream to combat their allergies should begin before allergy season hits, Dr. Shulan said, as it can take time to build up their systems.

UCLA's Hester blasts Pac-12 officiating
PASADENA – UCLA cornerback Aaron Hester blasted a controversial and potentially pivotal pass interference call against him on the final series of the Bruins' 29-28 upset of Arizona State Saturday night at the Rose Bowl.
Hester charged that game officials not only blew the call but have something against him.
Television replays did not show any contact between Hester and a Sun Devil receiver on an overthrown Brock Osweiler pass down the ASU sideline. But Hester was flagged for pass interference, moving the Sun Devils from their own 44 to the UCLA 41. Three plays later ASU kicker Alex Garoutte's 46-yard field goal sailed wide right and Hester and the Bruins escaped with a victory that moved them into a three-way tie for the Pac-12 South lead with three regular season games remaining.
"Aaron had full position. I don't understand," UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel said, stopping himself no doubt remembering USC coach Lane Kiffin's $10,000 fine from the Pac-12 office for criticizing game officials. But Aaron's got to be clean. I'm not saying the call was bad I just want to look at it."
Hester, however, said didn't need to see a replay to make his assessment.
"It was a terrible call," Hester said. "The ref called it. I think they have something out for me honestly. I felt that I played it perfect. I turned around, I looked for the ball, the ball was way inside. It wasn't even a catchable ball. But they wanted to make it a game, I believe so. When I looked at the ref when he threw the flag, it was like he didn't even want to throw it. He barely tossed out of his pocket. But I mean we got the 'W.' That's what really matters."
Six weeks ago Bruin quarterback Kevin Prince was done.
Two weeks ago so was his head coach.
But less than two months after he threw three early interceptions against Texas, Prince engineered a late scoring drive that might end up being the defining moment in his UCLA career and a clutch play that helped save Neuheisel's job.
Prince's 33-yard to completion to Bruin wide receiver Nelson Rosario on third and 29 late in the fourth quarter set up Derric Coleman's game-winning touchdown three plays later and was being embraced by Bruin coaches, his teammates and UCLA fans as a play that the junior signal caller and the program turned a corner.
Prince completed 11-of-17 passes for 196 yards and a touchdown. He added another 61 yards rushing, 48 coming on back-to-back 27 and 21 yard runs on the Bruins' opening drive.
"For me it's the biggest win of my career," Prince said. "I mean to be in position that we were a couple weeks ago (after losing 48-12) at Arizona and to respond like we did last week and to come in and play a great Arizona State team and to be able find a way to beat them with all the penalties and turnovers, you know, moving backwards a lot, it was big time. It was great to see."
Linebacker Jordan Zumwalt (hip pointer) was UCLA's only reported injury.

Huntsville police searched for two men who attempted to rob a Dollar General store on Meridian Street just before 9 p.m.
Lt. Randy Owens said two men dressed in all black and who wore black and orange ski masks demanded money from the cashier. The cashier told police one offender looked to be armed with a sawed-off shotgun.
Police said before the cashier could comply with the demand, the two men ran eastbound from the building after they heard noise from another employee in the back of the store.
K-9 units were dispatched to track down the two men, but lost their scent a quarter mile from the store.
Police are still investigating this incident.

FLINT, MI -- The Flint Journal has won a national award from the Society of Professional Journalists for its round-the-clock, online coverage after four tornadoes slammed into Genesee County in May 2013.
The 2013 Sigma Delta Chi Award is for "the best in professional journalism" and is open to all U.S. media outlets, according to the organization. More than 1,800 entries were submitted across all categories.
A record four tornadoes touched down in Genesee County on May 28, causing serious damage in multiple Genesee County communities. There was flooding, power outages, downed power lines, uprooted trees. There were no deaths or serious injuries. Officials estimated the total damage at $2.5 million, affecting more than 130 structures. Six of those structures were completely destroyed.
Fenton Township
suffered some of the worst damage. Winds there reached 115 mph and the
tornado was labeled EF-2 out of 5 on the Enhanced Fujita scale measuring tornado strength.
All told,
The Flint Journal staff produced more than 30 stories and 170 photos in
less than 24 hours. More than 20 journalists contributed to the
coverage. The award goes to the entire Journal staff.
"What I love about the Flint Journal newsroom is that no matter what happens or when it happens -- this team of reporters, photographers and editors is there. They bring a truly amazing level of dedication to their jobs every day," said Flint Journal Editor Marjory Raymer.
"On the night of the tornadoes they worked unflinchingly in really tough of situations. There were mass power outages, widespread destruction and raging, brutal storms. The staff understood, though, that this community needed to know what had happened and what was happening. So, they went to work delivering fast, accurate and insightful reports to readers."
Other award recipients in the contest included The Boston Globe for its coverage of the Boston Marathon bombing, and The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and The Washington Post.
Award winners will be honored during a June 21 banquet at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

Storefronts Auburn accepting applications from artists
Storefronts Auburn is accepting applications.
Storefronts, a program of Shunpike, produced by the City of Auburn, is a streetscape activation program, supporting the health and vitality of our cities' walking neighborhoods through temporary pairings of artists and creative businesses with vacant storefronts spaces.
It presents pop-up arts activations that help make for walkable, vibrant, healthy neighborhoods.
The original Seattle program, which began in Chinatown and Pioneer Square in 2010, has expanded to Belltown, Capitol Hill, and South Lake Union in Seattle, and to the cities of Auburn, Bellevue and Mount Vernon.
Applicants may specify which specific sites they are interested in, or apply for all sites and/or neighborhoods.
Storefronts Auburn is now accepting applications for its two program tracks:
• Installations offer artists a temporary storefront space to display any two-dimensional, three-dimensional or new media artwork. The program offers artist fees of up to $1,000 to support the creation of new work, or the installation of existing work. Works in this track are viewed from outside the closed storefront only (through the windows). If you are interested in applying for the Installation track, please see the "Opportunities" tab at storefrontsauburn.com.
• Creative Enterprise provides a space to experiment and test out new ideas. Participants will have access to a space for three to six months, dependent on space availability and number of applicants. Creative Enterprise spaces are open to the public, and Creative Enterprise participants must hold appropriate city and state licenses and permits, as well as a general liability insurance policy.
Selected artists and/or artist teams will be required to hold set business hours.

SPRINGFIELD – Angel M. Rosario lost his job as a Springfield firefighter nearly three years ago because he was in jail charged with stabbing a man and was absent from work for too long.
On Thursday, a Hampden Superior Court jury found Rosario, 46, innocent of armed assault with intent to murder and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury, the charges that arose from the stabbing.
He was charged with repeatedly stabbing Joseph Alvarado, 48, of Springfield outside an apartment at Allen Park Road Apartments on July 11, 2008.
The jury found Rosario, of Springfield, who had been a firefighter for 12 years, guilty of intimidating a witness, although on a related charge of threat to commit a crime the jury found him innocent.
Rosario is scheduled to be sentenced March 30 by Judge Daniel A. Ford on the intimidating a witness charge, which is a felony.
Defense lawyer Vincent A. Bongiorni said Alvarado, who has a number of convictions for drug crimes and crimes of violence that were told to the jury, was the aggressor in the incident at Allen Park Road Apartments.
Assistant District Attorney Matthew J. Shea asked Ford to revoke Rosario's bail and send him to jail pending sentencing but Ford said Rosario can continue to remain free on $5,000 bail.
Shea said he expects to ask for incarceration for Rosario.
The intimidation of a witness charge was brought after Alvarado said Rosario was outside a District Court courtroom when Alvarado was led through the hall in handcuffs and shackles on unrelated charges he faced.
Rosario had been in the courthouse after checking in with his probation officer as he was required to do while he was out on bail awaiting trial in the assault on Alvarado case.
Alvarado said Rosario made a shooting gesture with his finger and threatened in Spanish to kill him.
Rosario was in jail for about two months after his arrest in July 2008 when prosecutors convinced a District Court judge Rosario would pose a threat to Alvarado if he was free. In September of 2008 Rosario appealed the matter to Hampden Superior Court Judge Tina S. Page and she said he could be granted bail.
It was while he was held without right to bail he lost his job as a firefighter.
Nathan Boucher, 28, a co-defendant in the case, faces charges of armed assault with intent to murder and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon in the case.
Boucher testified for the prosecution in the case against Rosario under a cooperation agreement with the state.
Boucher testified he was walking away from Angela Perez' apartment when Alvarado, who Perez' had twice called police on the night before, pushed him as Alvarado walked toward Perez' apartment.
Boucher said he was trying to hold Alvarado in a wrestling hold because he was afraid of Alvarado, and then Rosario came out of Perez's apartment and pulled Alvarado away.
Boucher said he punched and kicked Alvarado, who was trying to kick him, and Boucher said he then saw Rosario using a blade on Alvarado.
Under cross-examination Boucher said he cannot remember if he actually saw a blade being used by Rosario.
Alvarado is the father or two children with Perez. He testified Rosario dated Perez when he (Alvarado) was in prison for three years.
Perez testified she went to Rosario's apartment early on July 11, 2008, because she wanted to talk about what had happened with Alvarado during the night and Rosario walked her back to her place several hours later.
The confrontation involving the three men happened shortly after.

Filip Dorty, Filip Armstrong & Robbie Masters - BareAdventures
Models: Filip Dorty, Filip Armstrong and Robbie Masters
Studio: Bare Adventures
Words such as gorgeous hardly even manage to even half describe such perfect masculine man-ness. Robbie Masters and Filip Armstrong decide they want to play with each other's cocks in bed. Both these prefect man creatures are smooth, slim and lean, Masters has dirty blond hair cut short and a slightly long face, he's very cute, Armstrong has dark brown hair and a slightly rounder face, to that of Masters and he's very handsome. It's not long as you can imagine before both Masters and Armstrong are having a really good man cock suck. Luckily for us it's not long before we become aware that this is not going to be just a twosome but a threesome, Filip Dorty gives us the meat in the man sandwich so to speak.
Dorty sees his fellow buddies hard at it whilst lying in his bed, so he starts wanking himself and he puts a condom on. Dorty is the slimmest of the three, who has short hair which has a few blond flashes in it. Masters and Armstrong come to the aid of Dorty and rescue him from the prison of his own self satisfaction. From then on Dorty is totally man used in horny porn paradise, first Masters and Armstrong wank Dorty off whilst Dorty still has his condom on, then once Dorty has flooded the condom with his man juices, Masters pulls Dorty's condom off and they have a quick play with it, which finally leads to both Masters and Armstrong, pouring the cum from the condom into Dorty's sex god mouth. Other highlights of this one scene alone are Dorty gets well and truly double penetrated in excellent style, bareback of course, plus cum in the mouth moments and all the kissing, cock sucking, fucking and rimming you can enjoy. I haven't seen a scene as horny as this for a long time!

Whether a newbie to the sport or a seasoned angler, fishermen are always looking for new places to wet a line and catch a few fish. In an effort to help both resident and non-residents narrow down their choices when looking for angling options, the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission (PFBC) has launched a new section on its website to highlight the spots it feels are the state's best fishing waters.
The website includes suggestions for a number of popular species, including trout, largemouth and smallmouth bass, channel and bullhead catfish, perch, crappie, bluegill and pumpkinseed, walleye, muskellunge and striped bass.
"(These) waters have species-specific fish populations that are near or exceed the top five percent in the state, based upon PFBC-standardized sampling or area fisheries management's knowledge of angler catch-rates," the agency says on the site.
In addition to having an excellent population of the fish for which it's highlighted, each stream, river or lake must also have at least 50 percent of its water open to the public, and must also be able to handle the increase in fishing pressure that may come by being promoted as a great fishing destination.
Lehigh Valley anglers know this region features some great fishing spots, so it's no surprise that a few waters made the list. The Jordan and Little Lehigh creeks, which are the two most heavily-stocked waters in Lehigh County, both are among the top-stocked trout waters, while the Saucon Creek in south Bethlehem/Hellertown made the wild trout list.
Managed under Trophy Trout regulations, the Saucon offers some superb angling for wily wild browns. In fact, a PFBC study done a few years ago shows that the wild trout population in the stream has continued to increase since it was first placed under special angling regulations in 1997.
For bass fishing, the Delaware River was also included on the list, with the PFBC rating the Northampton-to-Pike County stretch as one of the best in the state for battling bronzebacks 15 inches and up. For more information on the state's Best Fishing Waters, visit http://fishandboat.com/pabestfishing.htm.

Your boyfriend/girlfriend can be the sweetest person at times, but at other times, you just can't stand them! Want to know if they're right for you?
1. See if they communicate with their ex-girlfriend/boyfriend a lot. If so, they may be using YOU to get him/her jealous.
2. Do they care about your birthday? Drop a few hints before your birthday to let them know what day it is. If they get you a gift or a card, that shows that they care. If they do not, and they even FORGOT it was your birthday, they could honestly care less about your birthday!
3. Test the way they act around you. Stare at them for a while and see what they do. If they look at you like you're stupid, that's not a good sign. However, if they look back at you and smile, that's a good sign. If you ask them a question, do they answer it thoroughly or briefly?
End the relationship if he/she tries to control you.
It's not a good sign if they communicate with their ex.

Northwestern senior Cole Miller shot a 2-under-par 35-34--69 today to take the first-round AA boys lead in the PIAA State Golf Championships at Heritage Hills Golf Resort.
Miller, a two-time District 11 champion, holds a one-stroke lead over defending champion Isaiah Logue of Fairfield. Miller, who placed second behind Logue last year in the event, is headed to Penn State next fall; while Logue will attend Liberty University.
No other golfer from the nine-player District 11 contingent is in title contention for any of the four championships in the two-day, 36-hole tournament.
Miller got off to a hot start with two birdies, and birdies on the fourth and sixth holes. He birdied the 10th and 11th holes to go to 3-under-par. Despite a bogey on the 16th hole, Miller had the low round of the entire tournament for the day.
Miller, the PIAA East Region AA champion, hit 13 greens in regulation, and had 30 putts.
"I'm happy with the round," said Miller, a three-time Colonial League champion. "It was good conditions in the morning. It got windy in the afternoon. I was hitting my irons well today. I had a lot of 10 to 12 foot birdie chances."
Miller is attempting to become the just the fourth boy from District 11 to win a state championship. Justin Kolumber of Parkland won in 1996, Jeff Billie of Emmaus won in 1965, and Robert "Junie" Schoener of Allen won the title in 1951.
Other AA boys scores from District 11 were Central Catholic junior Erik Ridley (81, 18th place), Notre Dame of East Stroudsburg junior Ryan Krechel (83, 24th place), and Moravian Academy junior Tim Wolak (86, 29th place).
District 11 AAA boys champion Grant Schumaker of Emmaus (senior) is tied for 16th place after shooting a 79. Kevin Kunkle, a Northampton senior, shot an 80, and is tied for 23rd place.
Manheim Township junior Ryan Dornes shot a 72 to take a one stroke lead in the AAA boys competition.
Central Catholic sophomore Franca Hurtado, the two-District 11 AA girls champion, is in 10th place with an 87. Hurtado, a runner-up in the AA girls event last year, trails leader Macky Fouse of Central Valley (senior) by 12 strokes.
Krista Kissell, a freshman at Notre Dame of East Stroudsburg, shot a 97 (16th place).
Canon McMillan junior Lauren Waller shot a 1-over-par 73 to take a one stroke lead in the AAA girls event over Pennsbury junior Jackie Rogowicz, the 2012 runner-up. Council Rock senior Erica Herr, the two-time AAA girls champion, is tied for third place with Mount Saint Joseph junior Isabella DiLisio after shooting a 75. Freedom junior Helen Hsu shot an 86, and is tied for 15th place.PIAA Championships

Hearing loss is an increasing health concern in this nation that is often treatable. While it is a common expectation that as we age we may lose some hearing, few realize that hearing loss is prevalent among adults of all ages - with half of the 36 million people in the United States with hearing loss under the age of 65. When hearing loss occurs during our adult years, but long before old age, many tend to ignore it and not enlist the assistance of a specialist. The sad thing is, when one avoids diagnosing a hearing loss, they also avoid seeking beneficial treatment.
On average, most Americans don't often recognize the signs of hearing loss which include:
Frequently asking others to repeat what they've said
Misunderstanding what people say
Difficulty hearing on the telephone
Requiring the TV or radio volume to be louder than others in the room prefer
Feeling that people are mumbling when they are talking
Difficulty hearing conversations especially in the presence of background noise
Ringing or buzzing in the ears
Hearing loss can be caused by a variety of things including:
Exposure to loud noises
Ear infections, trauma, or ear disease
Harm to the inner ear and ear drum
Illness or certain medications
Deterioration due to the normal aging process
The first step in treatment of a hearing problem is to get your hearing evaluated by an audiologist in a sound treated booth. An audiologist is a licensed and clinically experienced health-care professional who specializes in evaluating, diagnosing, and treating people with hearing loss and balance disorders.
The hearing evaluation will determine the degree of hearing loss you have and what can be done. If the hearing loss is permanent, an audiologist can determine the best treatment, which may include hearing aids, assistive listening devices, and hearing rehabilitation. If not, medical consultation may be recommended.
The sooner something is done about hearing loss, the better chances are of protecting or salvaging hearing. By taking a few precautions today, one can greatly reduce the chances of hearing loss and improve overall health.
Steps that can be taken to prevent hearing loss include:
Limit exposure to noisy environments when possible, and what is too loud? If you have to shout to be heard, it's too loud.
Alternate a quiet activity with a noisy one, give your ears a rest.
Use hearing protection devices such as ear plugs when operating loud machinery such as a lawn mower, or power tools.
Check the decibel rating on household appliances such as vacuum cleaners, hair dryers (be sure it does not exceed 85db).
And, if a hearing aid is recommended, be wary of where it is purchased, avoid promotions and internet sales. Low price may mean quick sale, poor follow-up service.
The key to successful hearing aid use is not just getting fitted with the right hearing aid, but also to get the right follow-up from a licensed audiologist who also dispenses hearing aids.
So be aware, take the time to have regular hearing tests, and know the signs of hearing loss.

To make an appointment, call the JFK Medical Center's Audiology Program at 732-321-7063, and schedule an appointment to have your hearing tested.
