Ceramic tile sculpture titled Recovered Ge-ometry No. 13, by Jason H. Green (24.5” X 18” X 3”).

The Cattaraugus County Arts Coun-cil (CCAC) is proud to present the 2013 Southern Tier Biennial Best of Show Win-ner, ceramic artist Jason H. Green, as he speaks about his work at a reception for his solo show titled, Recovered Geom-etries. The reception will be held on Sat-urday, December 13 from 3-5 p.m. at the Olean Public Library Gallery. This exhi-

Tier Biennial Best of Show Winner from among 87 artists in the juried competition. Green’s work was chosen from the 38 art-ists accepted by two prestigious members of the Western New York art community: Kate Koperski, Director of the Castellani Art Museum, and John Vanco, Director and Curator of the Erie Art Museum. The Southern Tier Biennial Solo Exhibi-tion is presented by the Cattaraugus Coun-ty Arts Council, Olean Public Library Gallery, Jamestown Community College, and the Cattaraugus Region Community Foundation through the generous sponsor-ship of the F. Donald Kenney Foundation. The Cattaraugus County Arts Council is a 501(c)(3) nonprofi t organization that has served the greater Cattaraugus County region for more than 16 years with qual-ity arts programs and services. CCAC is funded in part by the New York State Council on the Arts and by members and donors. For more information, visit www.myartscouncil.net, www.southerntierbien-nial.com, and www.jasongreenceramics.com

bition of Green’s contemporary ceramic tile sculptures is on display at the library gallery through December 27, 2014. The event is free and open to the public. Texture, color and pattern are played out across large, thick ceramic tiles in ar-rangements that appear both random and planned, straight forward and yet some-what spellbinding. Green combines digital and hand-made technologies to create the optical illusions and textures that are so mesmerizing in his work. As he explains it, “ The digital tools I use to design forms and surfaces are combined with processes that are adapted from traditional methods of hand-making. The forms I make are created by hand-pressing clay into molds made from plaster and wood.” Green de-scribes Recovered Geometries as an in-vestigation into “how optical illusions may alter our perception as being more or less real.” He goes on to say, “Optical illu-sions can change our sense of perception and infl uence our understanding of an ob-ject.” Green was named the 2013 Southern

Photos for this issue were taken in three Kindergarten classrooms at GGB Elementary School, where we found students to be very aware, very attentive to our presence, and to our questions. This made our photo shoot particularly easy. We should also men-tion that while in two of the classrooms we visited, the work we observed in-cluded coloring Thanksgiving pictures, students in the other classroom were busy making “heart Christmas trees” slightly in advance of the next big holi-day……..Two other photos included in this edition are of tile sculptures, created by ceramic artist Jason H. Green. These among others of the art-ist’s works, will be on display at the Olean Public Library Gallery from De-cember 13th through December 27th. See page two of this issue for details about the show and about the reception to be held there, for Green, December 13th. The event is free and open to the public……..Amy Peterson, President of Frances Sherman Auxiliary VFW Post #212, contacted us to announce that the Madison Rising band will make a reappearance at the Vet’s Club Events Center, Saturday, January 10th. This eclectic, high energy band was well received last year and is sure to bring a little warmth, to the coldest month of the year……..This issue, as did our last, contains a number of holiday suggestion for gifts, baked goods, and more. We suggest that read-ers visit our fully linked, virtual digital edition on the internet, and take advan-tage of all the informational links em-bedded in the advertisements and with-in the text…….We fi nd it interesting that following a grand jury’s failure to indict Darren Wilson in the death of Michael Brown, major news media still generally embargoes progressive coverage. Protesting in Ferguson, MO, along with others is the well known re-tired Philadelphia police Captain, Ray Lewis, who says that he wants to show his solidarity with the other demonstra-tors for justice, and to tell the American people that the system is corrupt, that the police are oppressing both blacks and whites at the behest of the 1%, and that corporations are using police forces around the country as their mercenar-ies. Of course we all know how crazy that sounds, and how impossible that would be, unless wealth and power has bought enough government, to make the laws, to control the courts, to there-by direct the police to do their bidding. Silly, isn’t it! On the other hand, maybe it’s time to evaluate the consequences of such an eventuality.

It’s A Matter Of Opinion...Guest Columnist

“Giving Thanks” -by Bob Perry On the fourth Thursday of Novem-ber each year we, who are thankful for what we have, celebrate that thankful-ness with prayer thanking our Creator for the gift of life, for the breath that sustains life, and for the food that nur-tures life. Hopefully, we are able to share this special time with all those with whom we were with but a year ago. Giving thanks for the gift of life shows a rever-ence for existence and given soulfully indicates a commitment to protect life from inception to the end of life. Giv-ing thanks for the breath of life shows a recognition of the air we breathe and given soulfully indicates a commit-ment to minimize any effect we have in altering the quality of such air. Giv-ing thanks for the food that sustains us shows the need for necessary nutrition and given soulfully indicates that one takes but what is needed, is not waste-

ful and shares it with others. Giving thanks is usually an event driven re-quest so consider giving it whenever a conscious thought presents itself about anything that is not created by you or mankind. Being a National Holiday, Thanks-giving is one that will endure the test of time whereas other holidays may not survive with diversity, effectively driv-ing out other traditions. Topping memories of Thanksgiving are those of the feasts that we have en-joyed with family and friends with all the ingredients of a meal fi t for a king: turkey; stuffi ng; potatoes; gravy; as-sorted vegetables; cranberry sauce; pumpkin pie topped with whipped cream. Leftovers usually produced a baked dish of fi lling, diced turkey and gravy. Hungry yet? Be especially thankful for family and the love they showered upon you in both the good and not so good times. Also, give remembrance to those who have gone before as prayer for them goes not in vain. A good exercise would be writing a list of the things you are thankful for, keep the list and compare that list next year with a new list next year. May you enjoy a feastful day with family and friends.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESWhat You Need To Know Before Reading New Social Security Statements

-by Jason Alderman No matter how far away you are from retirement, it’s important to understand your Social Security benefi ts – and there’s a particularly good reason to do it now. The Social Security Administration (SSA) is bringing back annual paper benefi ts statements for the fi rst time in three years. It stopped in 2011 to save money on print-ing and postage, but Congress and con-sumer advocates complained that workers needed better access to their data. In Sep-tember, the agency reversed its decision and announced it’s resuming the practice of mailing paper statements to workers in two categories: •Those who are not receiving benefi ts and are within three months of turning 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, and 60. (After age 60, workers will receive a statement every year.) •Those who still haven’t registered for a My Social Security (www.ssa.gov/my-account/) online account. Why is this important? First, if you’ve paid into the Social Security and Medicare system, you should understand the ben-efi ts you’ve earned. Second, as the SSA has been closing fi eld offi ces and reduc-ing services to the public, despite the fact that Baby Boomers are starting to fl ood the system. It’s a good time to confi rm and correct benefi ts due to the longer wait times on the agency’s toll free telephone line and fi eld offi ces. Start by waiting for your next paper benefi ts statement or sign up at My So-cial Security website to review your cur-rent data. Here’s a quick overview of what your statement tells you: •Introduction and your estimated ben-efi ts. This section covers four catego-ries. The fi rst is your retirement benefi ts, which are based on your age when you start drawing them. The calculations are based on three critical ages as examples: 62 (the earliest age you can draw retire-ment benefi ts), 67 (the full retirement age for anyone born after 1960) and age 70 (the oldest anyone can start drawing ben-efi ts, generally at the highest level if you can wait). The second is disability, which refers to the amount of your monthly dis-ability benefi t if you qualify. Third, your family/survivors benefi ts if a loved one dies. And lastly, your Medicare eligibil-ity and the particular facts to support that conclusion. •Your Earnings Record. This is a sum-mary of your earnings that you need to verify for accuracy. Pull your annual tax returns as far back as you can to confi rm this information, and if you work with a tax or fi nancial planning professional, double-check their conclusions if you plan to challenge any errors with the SSA.

•Some Facts About Social Security. Provides additional defi nitions and guide-lines to better understand your statement and includes key contact information. Most experts will tell you that when it comes to retirement, time is your biggest ally – it gives you the opportunity to in-vest, save and adjust your plan strategy. Use your statement to do the following: •Spot and correct errors. If you and your tax professional spot disparities in your benefi t statement make careful notes, gather your evidence and consult the

SSA’s contact page (www.ssa.gov/agen-cy/contact/) to start the correction process remotely or in person. •Blend Social Security into a broader retirement plan. Most experts agree Social Security alone won’t provide a comfort-able retirement. It’s never too late to plan. Bottom Line: Even if you’re years away from retirement, make sure you under-stand your Social Security benefi ts, and that they’re accurate and fi t into a broader fi nancial plan for your retirement.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDEDrink (Water) To

Your Health

(NAPSI)—Here’s health news you should fi nd easy to swallow: Wheth-er you’re working, traveling, playing sports or just relaxing, it’s important to stay hydrated regardless of the season. Making up more than two-thirds of the weight of the human body, water is critical to keep the body’s cells and organs functioning properly. Keeping your body hydrated, says the Ameri-can Heart Association, helps the heart pump blood more easily through the blood vessels to the muscles and helps the muscles remove waste so that they can work effi ciently. As you work, play and exercise, here are six questions to ask yourself to en-sure you and your family are staying regularly hydrated: 1. How much water should I drink each day? • Recommendations for water in-take vary by person but wellness ex-perts generally agree that drinking 6 to 8 eight-ounce glasses of water each day is a healthy goal. Individuals who ex-ercise frequently and pregnant women should increase their intake. 2. Sugary drinks seem to quench my thirst as much as water. Is one bet-ter than the other? • Under most circumstances, water is the best source of fl uid to keep the body hydrated. Caffeinated beverages can cause you to actually lose more fl u-ids and sugary drinks can be hard on the stomach. It’s best to stick to water when trying to stay hydrated. 3. What else can I do to stay well hydrated? • Foods such as fruits and vegetables that contain a high percentage of water can help supplement your intake. Try tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, water-melon and strawberries. 4. I have trouble remembering to

AICR HealthTalk-by Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: Buffets are a challenge for me – I always seem to overeat and end up feeling overloaded. Are there tips to make this easier? A: Buffets are a challenge for many people. Fortunately, we can make healthy choices without resorting to a restrictive mindset that takes the enjoyment out of the occasion. We often equate eating with getting “more for our money” at a restaurant or an obligatory politeness at a social gathering. Reframe your think-ing: consider the variety of foods as a delightful chance to choose what you want, not a requirement to gorge yourself. One tip for limiting amounts is to choose a salad-sized plate rather than a large dinner plate. Then, instead of just proceeding down the buffet line, fi lling your plate as you go, look over the whole range of selections and decide which dishes appeal to you most. If you see lots of not-so-healthy, rich foods, choose just one or two that you’d like to savor on this occa-sion. If you want to sample many foods, put just a few bites of different selections on your plate. Be focused, because this kind of nibbling tends to involve more food than a typical meal. On the other hand, if you fi nd tiny tastes frustrating, be more selective about how many different dishes you sample, and make portions about one-quarter to one-third of normal. Your plate should not be heaped sky-high as you walk away from the buffet table. Remind yourself this is not likely to be the last time you ever see these foods. Add other foods that will create a healthful, hunger-satisfying meal. Include a source of protein (poultry, fi sh, meat, cheese, beans, eggs, tofu), keeping the ani-mal protein to one-third or less of your plate. Balance this with at least two-thirds of your plate holding vegetables, fruits and grains (ideally whole grains).Finally, rather than automatically going back for more, give yourself a few min-utes to consider whether you are truly hungry. Once you’re home, will you really say, “I only wish I’d eaten more?” Overall think of a buffet as a way to sample a variety of foods as just one part of what makes the occasion enjoyable

drink water. What should I do? • Add drinking a glass of water or re-usable water bottle of water to your dai-ly routine. For example, drink a glass of water after you wake up or while watching your favorite show. Drinking water before a meal can help you feel fuller faster and perhaps prevent over-eating. 5. How can I be sure my water is pure? • To help reduce contaminants that may be in your tap water and provide fi ltered drinking water for your family, you can get a water fi ltration system. For example, 3M offers a wide range of fi ltration products, some of which address pesticides, nitrates, arsenic and other contaminants that may be found in water. 6.

Baking Powder Pointers

(NAPSI)—At holiday time, success-ful baking is more important than ever; favorite recipes, family dinners and an-nual traditions count on it. With baking season right around the corner, here is a fresh idea for better baking: Start the season with new ingredients. For the best baking results, ingredients such as baking powder, baking soda, and fl our must be fresh. According to a recent survey of home bakers, freshness is very important. More than 70 percent of people sur-veyed ranked freshness as a signifi cant factor when buying baking ingredients and 74 percent say they look for the manufacturer’s expiration date when shopping and when baking. To ensure freshness of your baking powder, the makers of Clabber Girl are introducing a new “fresh lid” that encourages you to write the “opened date” on the top of the can. To get the best leavening, it’s not only important to know the expiration date, but also to remember when you opened the can. Baking powder starts to react as soon as the can is opened and the powder is exposed to heat and moisture. That’s why you should get a new can after six months. The manu-facturer’s date stamped on the bottom refers to the latest date you should open the sealed can. After that, the baking powder may not react well.

Smart Storage Baking powder should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from heat or mois-ture. Make sure the lid is on securely at all times. Don’t store it in the refrigera-tor or freezer. Condensation will gather on the inside of the can, causing the powder to react in the can. If you’re not sure whether your pow-der has been properly stored, you can test it easily. Take 1 teaspoon of baking powder and mix it with 1/3 cup very hot water. If it fi zzles and bubbles, go ahead and bake away. If it doesn’t react or the reaction is delayed or weak, it’s time to get a new can. Once you know your powder is fresh, you may care to try it out with this deli-cious cake:

Bourbon Pecan Pound Cake

Cake:

½ c. vegetable shortening

½ c. butter

1½ c. granulated sugar

2 c. cake fl our

1½ tsp. Clabber Girl Baking Powder

¼ tsp. Clabber Girl Baking Soda

½ tsp. salt

1/3 c. sour cream

3 Tbsp. bourbon whiskey

4 eggs

¾ c. chopped pecans

Glaze:

1 c. confectioners’ sugar

1½ tsp. bourbon whiskey

1½ Tbsp. water

Instructions: Set oven rack to middle location and preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Cake: In a large bowl, cream together short-ening, butter and sugar until smooth then set aside. In a medium bowl, sift to-gether fl our, Clabber Girl Baking Pow-der, Clabber Girl Baking Soda and salt; combine well, add to creamed mixture, and mix on low speed 1 minute. Add sour cream, whiskey, eggs, and beat on medium speed 2 minutes; mix in pe-cans. Pour batter into greased 9-inch tube pan or 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan. Bake (middle rack) at 350 degrees F for 55 minutes or until cake tests done. To test cake, insert a toothpick into the cake and visually check to ensure toothpick is clean when removed. Al-low cake to cool before applying glaze.

Glaze: Beat sugar, whiskey and water to-gether until smooth. Pour over cake.

What Americans Don’t Get (NAPSI)—The U.S. is in a select group of countries. It’s one of only three (and the only industrialized one) that doesn’t guarantee paid maternity or paternity leave. For example, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom offer 15, 18 and 39 weeks of paid parental leave. Their policies acknowledge the importance of workers spending time with their families and still being able to provide for them. In addition, some states and cities have passed laws ensuring paid leave. Flexible workplace policies such as paid family leave to take care of sick loved ones and newborns are not only good for the workers, their families and the country, they benefi t businesses, too. Studies link supportive work-life balance policies to workers who are happier, more productive and more likely to stay on the job longer. With that in mind, the U.S. Depart-ment of Labor (DOL) is funding paid leave research in Rhode Island, Mas-sachusetts, Montana and Washington, D.C. The DOL is also asking people to share their stories about how having—or not having—paid parental leave has affected their families. Learn more at:

Four Tips To A Stress-Free

And Organized Holiday Season

(NAPSI)—The holiday season is quickly approaching, and though it may be called the most wonderful time of the year, it can also be the most stressful. But with some advance planning and simple organization, you can be ready to enjoy a fl awless, stress-free holiday season. There are a number of holiday short-cuts that can create a personalized im-pact with just a home printer and a little creativity. And to make sure the season goes smoothly, HP Instant Ink is here to help save you time and money. With the HP Instant Ink service, your eligi-ble printer tells HP when your printer is low on ink and Original HP Ink car-tridges are delivered to your door be-fore you run out, keeping one less item off your shopping and “to-do” lists. So where do you start? 1. Gift Wrapping: Print gift tags at home. Your packages are wrapped right down to the bow, but you forgot the gift tags. Not to fear. Instead of run-ning back to the store in the midst of the holiday rush, use your HP Instant Ink-eligible printer to create your own customizable gift tags. And if you run out of tags, just print some more! 2. Holiday Cards and Letters: Cus-tomize your family photos and holiday greetings by designing and printing at home. This is yet another thing you can do from the comfort of your home. You can easily create and design your own customized photo cards and letters on your computer and then print for just pennies apiece. HP Instant Ink plans start as low as $2.99 a month for up to 50 printed pages, and because plans count printed pages and not the amount of ink used, you can print high-quality color photos or black-and-white docu-ments, all for the same low cost. 3. Table Decorations: Add some fl air to your table by printing out per-sonalized place cards. The tree is decorated and you’ve hung a wreath on the door, but the decorat-ing doesn’t have to stop there. Creating your own table place cards is a simple and easy project that can be done from your home printer to impress your din-ner guests. While you’re at it, consider creating customized labels to highlight the famous family recipes you prepare. 4. Holiday Cooking: Print out your grocery list, baking schedule and reci-pes. During the hustle and bustle lead-ing up to your holiday dinner, it is im-

portant to have a plan and stick to it. Mapping out your appetizers, entrées, drinks and desserts, and printing out recipes and ingredients lists, will save you return trips to the store. The HP Instant Ink service works with a wide variety of new HP print-ers and includes everything you need to keep your printer working hard for you—including ink, shipping, and car-

tridge recycling. From planning your holiday events to putting the fi nishing touches on your table, these simple solutions can save you time, money and headaches this holiday season. To learn more or fi nd a participating retailer, visit:

YOUR WEEKLY HOROSCOPE NOVEMBER 27 - DECEMBER 3, 2014

ARIES - (Mar. 21 - Apr. 19)This week could see you assessing or reassessing your relationship with one or two people.TAURUS - (Apr. 20 - May 20)Something is likely going to need attention shortly but you have every reason to believe any inconvenience will be temporary. GEMINI - (May 21 - June 20)There will be some ‘detective work’ required from you to get to the bottom of a particular matter. CANCER - (June 21 - July 22)There is a valuable ability or talent you can contribute to someone in some way.LEO - (July 23, - Aug. 22)Something surrounding an arrangement between you and someone else needs to shift. VIRGO - (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22)If you sense the need for change or spontaneity, then allow it to enter. You’ll soon see how it improves what has become stale.LIBRA - (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22)Be careful how you’re interpreting a particular person in your world.
