Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime occasion -- something to be celebrated and cherished. Planning it, on the other hand, can feel as if you're preparing for war -- between ensuring that Uncle Sal isn't sitting next to his brother, who owes him money, to budgeting for everything you want and need. The one thing you don't want to skimp on is the memories. Which is why choosing your photographer is one of the biggest decisions you will make. To help ensure that you get the most romantic photos of your fairytale day, Professional Photographers of America, a 29,000-plus-member association, offers these suggestions: • Express yourself. What kind of photos do you like? Do they tend toward the journalistic or is your style more whimsical, classical, or romantic? Whatever your style, be clear with your photographer so that he or she can capture your personality. • Say yes to the dress. It starts and ends with this iconic garment. What will make you feel like the bride

Pennies 4 Paws Campaign to Kickoff in February Contributed Article Chautauqua County Humane Society
The Chautauqua County Humane Society (CCHS) is excited to announce the twelfth annual Pennies 4 Paws campaign will begin February 12 and will run through the end of April. This year’s campaign will benefit the animals at CCHS significantly by providing essential care and rehabilitation to animals in need of help. In 2016, CCHS took in 1,644 animals that were in need of something. Whether it be food, medical needs, training supplies, or a little bit of love, CCHS bears the financial burden that arises from the cost of these services. On average, it costs CCHS $600 a week to feed the animals that are at the shelter and in foster care. It costs CCHS $60 to spay/neuter an average size animal. “Everyone knows the cost of owning a pet can add up, just imagine how much it costs CCHS to care for over 120 animals on any given day,” said Hannah Raynor, CCHS Community Relations Director. “From the cost of food and medical care to the cost of paying those that care for these animals, the financial loads can be overwhelming.” The Pennies 4 Paws campaign hopes to collect 21 million pennies, or $21,000, by the end of the campaign. Sponsored by Media One Group, CCHS encourages schools, social organizations, individuals and businesses to fundraise in a variety of ways, including bake sales, school hat days, dress down days, pop bottle/can drives and other special events. Collection containers are also available if they are needed by any fundraising group. Although pennies are the most common, CCHS accepts any and all monetary donations.

A National Grid grant to the Chautauqua County Education will provide $66,000 in funding for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math programming in the Dunkirk/Fredonia area. National Grid provided the STEM grant funding to the Chautauqua County Education Coalition, with grants awarded through a competitive application process to help build capacity for programs that establish and promote a continuum of STEM offerings year-round for students of all ages. Applicants were required to meet several guidelines with their projects including demonstrating a connection to STEM focus job opportunities in the Dunkirk/Fredonia region. Al Wager, National Grid Regional Manager, said, “I’m proud to work for a company that realizes today’s youth are tomorrow’s leaders. National Grid’s grant will be used to provide funding for a variety of K-12 educational initiatives to promote learning in the natural sciences, engineering and mathematics. If you think about it, it’s a solid investment for our communities, and we are so pleased to be a part of that endeavor.” First round recipients included SUNY Jamestown Community College for their program STEMPLOYMENT 2017 - Summer Internships at a Fredonia/ Dunkirk Employer, SUNY Fredonia’s Regional Climate Network Partnership Program, Fredonia Middle School Maker Space, Boys & Girls Club of Northern Chautauqua County Building Blocks program, and Erie 2 Chautauqua-Cattaraugus BOCES Health Careers Program & NYS Certification. Nelson Garifi, Jamestown Community College Director of Academic Innovation, said, “Students often have to choose between earning college credit in the summer and earning money. Thanks to National Grid’s support, we’re providing opportunities for students to do both through the high impact learning available through internships. These students will
also be assessing their commitments to STEM career paths and building their career networks with future employers.” The grant awards were announced during a recent meeting of the full Chautauqua County Education Coalition. The mission of the Coalition is to align resources and build capabilities to meet the evolving workforce requirements of the community. The Coalition has dozens of participating stakeholders representing over 60 organizations that are part of the Chautauqua County learning system. These grants represent the first of three rounds of the National Grid STEM grants through the Chautauqua County Education Coalition. The next round will be determined in July of 2017.

Keeping The Faith
Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org
Dear Pastor, Does God still have a plan
for my life if I messed up? That’s a great question! It’s normal to think that if we mess up on our “path” in life that we’ll be disqualified or have to settle for Plan “B”. But what about our position in God’s plan? Is it a good plan, able to compensate for our mess ups? Or is it inflexible, forcing us to walk a different path or condemning us to a less-than life? The truth is found in the Word. Jeremiah 29:11 tells us, “For I know the plans
I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Notice that this scripture implies that God already has the plan waiting for us. He doesn’t make it up as we go along. Why is this important? Because it tells us that no matter what, it’s a good plan. And because its God’s plan for us, there is already the provision and purpose waiting along the way! All we need to do is submit to Him and allow His plan to unfold in our life. But
following God’s plan, like anything else Godrelated, must be walked out in faith. Like utilizing a GPS, if you don’t trust the equipment, you won’t be comfortable following the directions. Proverbs 3:5 tells us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. 6) In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths. 7) Don’t be wise in your own eyes, fear the Lord and depart from evil. Trusting God means to allow Him to
be in charge, and seeking the direction of your life rather than constantly trying to figure everything out on your own. At our Family Churches we don’t ask the children “what do you want to be when you grow up?” but rather, “what do you think God wants you to be?” The condition of “being evil” that we see in this scripture could simply mean “refusing to follow God’s direction and insisting on doing your own thing”. Many Christians believe that as long as what they are do-
family church F R E D O N I A
ing is “good”, its fine with God. But, even goodintentioned plans can be evil if they aren’t lined up with His. If it’s not His plan…it shouldn’t be ours either!

Side-Giggers: Tax Tips for Side Jobs Contributed Article Intuit TurboTax
Having a side gig can help you make ends meet or build your rainy day fund. Income from freelance work, running your own small business or working at a second job brings in extra income without requiring you to quit your day job. But, like your main source of income, a second job or side gig must be reported on Form 1040 at tax time. Are you self-employed? A side gig can be a hobby, a seasonal endeavor or occasional work that takes up a relatively small amount of your time. The IRS considers this type of job "other income" for tax reporting purposes. But, if you devote a substantial amount of time to it, the IRS may treat you as self-employed. If this is the case, you must file Schedule C with your tax return. Schedule C is used to report business income and losses. Indications of self-employment are: • Your primary purpose is to make a profit • Your side work is regular and continuous If you are employed by someone else, you cannot deduct business expenses directly from your income. Any unreimbursed employee expenses are an itemized deduction on Schedule A of your tax return. CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

SIDE-GIGGERS: TAX TIPS FOR SIDE JOBS, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9
Don't miss the miscellaneous income Cash earnings from side jobs must be reported on your tax return, even if the earnings are minimal. Underreporting income from side work can lead to additional tax assessments and penalties. You can prevent this by reporting all income you get from your side gig, whether it's in the form of money, property or services. Payers report most income to the IRS If you're a freelancer or contractor and you received more than $600 from any side job during the tax year, the individual or company that paid you generally must supply you with Form 1099-MISC – as in miscellaneous income. Payers will also send this form to the IRS to report your income. Payers should send out 1099 forms by Jan. 31 that state the dollar amount you earned. But, even if you don't receive this form, you still have to report your earnings. For example, in 2016, if you earned less than $600 from a side gig, the payer doesn't have to send you a 1099 form, but you still have to report the earnings. Use allowable deductions to trim your tax bill A tax deduction reduces the amount of taxable income, lowering your tax bill. You can deduct certain expenses from self-employment income. Erik Lozano is a banker by day and a rideshare driver by night in San Diego, California. He tracks the mileage on his car related to his rideshare income and deducts that portion for mileage, maintenance, gas and insurance costs at tax time. "Having a side job gives me 'fun' money," says Erik, whose rideshare side job accounted for about 20% of his income in 2016. "Here in San Diego, it's hard to live on only one full-time job." First, determine the difference between your expenses. • Ordinary expenses are those that are common and accepted for your business • Necessary expenses are those that are helpful and adequate for your business For example, a ski teacher might deduct her ski boots as an "ordinary expense" and a landscaper might deduct rent for a storage space used to store landscaping tools and equipment. While a storage space may not be required for landscaping, it can still be deducted as a "necessary expense" because it's helpful to the business. Common deductible expenses related to your side gig include: • Portion of your home used • Mileage of your car used • Dues and subscriptions paid to related organizations • Necessary tools and equipment • Tuition for related education

Growing up on the Mississippi River, Chad Pregracke, Living Lands & Waters Founder, experienced first-hand what pollution was doing to our nation's rivers. Despite being 17 years old with no business experience, Pregracke secured his first sponsorship -- $8,400. More than 20 years later, Pregracke's dream has become a reality. Pregracke, his crew and more than 87,000 volunteers have collected 8.4 million pounds of debris from America's rivers. Living Lands & Waters, the world's leading river cleanup organization, has partnered with Elkay, an American-owned and operated leading manufacturer of plumbing and wood products, to further its environmental missions -- working every day to make America a beautiful, sustainable place to live and work. "Mr. Pregracke is truly an American hero, and his mission perfectly aligns with our sustainability efforts in product development," said Ted Hamilton, Elkay's vice president and general manager of Emerging Markets Plumbing Channel. "We both are committed to keeping America a beautiful place to live and work, and to making it easy to do the smart thing." CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

These stations have refilled more than 2.8 billion water bottles and can be found in K-12 schools, college and business campuses as well as airports, parks, sports facilities and fitness centers across the country. "I can't tell you how many thousands of plastic bottles I've fished out of the river over the years. Some shorelines are 2-feet deep in garbage and it can be like that for miles," said Pregracke. "Our rivers are a national treasure, and it's great to be partnering with a company that makes a product right here in the United States that provides an easy way to eliminate waste, helping future generations enjoy our nation's rivers, just as I have my whole life." Since Living Lands & Waters was founded in 1998, it has grown to be the only "industrialstrength" river cleanup organization like it in the world. Spending up to nine months a year living and traveling on a barge, its crew hosts river cleanups, watershed conservation initiatives, workshops, tree plantings and other key conservation efforts across the country. It has never been easier to make a difference. Carry a refillable water bottle and refill it at an ezH2O bottle filling station. And join in the important work of Living Lands & Waters.

How Arts and Crafts Can Help Heal Veterans in Your Community Contributed Article StatePoint
When people hear there might be a bomb nearby, most will try to get as far away as fast as possible. U.S. Army Specialist Brandon Sanford and his bomb-sniffing dog Rexo, however, were not as lucky. Sanford and Rexo were part of the Army’s bomb detection unit, tasked with finding life-threatening explosive devices. “I was nervous on the first patrol missions since our duty was to find explosives designed to kill American soldiers,” said Sanford. When a roadside bomb exploded near his vehicle in 2008, Sanford suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI), among other wounds. Because of his injuries, Sanford suffers from seizures as well as problems with balance, fine motor skills and more. Basic tasks like buttoning a shirt are now daunting endeavors for him. And so the long, arduous process of healing began. Along with surgery and physical therapy, craft therapy became part of Sanford’s treatment plan. When men and women return from war or other military postings, they often bring home more than their duffel bags. That is why Help Heal Veterans (Heal Vets), a nonprofit founded during the Vietnam War, operates on the knowledge that not all medicine comes in a bottle. As America’s largest supplier of therapeutic arts and crafts resources, Heal Vets has distributed more than 29 million kits since 1971, averaging 43,000 kits per month. The kits consist of hundreds of craft categories like woodworking, leather, models and a variety of needlecrafts.
Many doctors and occupational therapists prescribe arts and crafts as an important component of a treatment plan. Such an approach provides tremendous therapeutic and rehabilitative benefits, including improving fine motor skills, cognitive functioning, memory and dexterity. Crafts can also help alleviate anger issues and the severity of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and TBI triggers, such as anxiety, memories, sadness and frustration. In some cases, the benefits are physical as well. For example, stringing together a leather craft might help with hand-eye coordination and dexterity. Painting or model building can ease symptoms of PTSD or depression. Sanford said that working with small pieces has helped him with his hand-eye coordination. He also suffers from short-term memory problems associated with his TBI, so working on the kits helps train his focus and concentration skills. Since World War I, craft kits have consistently proven effective tools for veterans’ rehabilitation and healing. According to a Health
Care Data Inc. study, 89.6 percent of patients surveyed felt Heal Vets craft therapy helped maintain or improve their physical capabilities. Furthermore, craft projects help build family bonds when completed with loved ones, improve self-esteem and surface previously untapped artistic talent. As Americans pay their respects to those who have served, Heal Vets encourages you to think about ways you can help enrich the lives of the 22 million U.S. veterans and military personnel. Heal Vets relies solely on charitable donations to produce its craft kits. For more information about the program or to donate art supplies, journals and other tools that spark creativity to a veterans’ organization near you, visit HealVets.org. “Today, one of every three Iraq and Afghanistan veterans suffers from PTSD and/or TBI. Even more, the suicide rate for U.S. military members continues to rise. Reawakening veterans’ enthusiasm for life, therefore, remains an utmost priority,” said Captain Joe McClain, a U.S. Navy veteran and current Heal Vets CEO.

There are 2.5 million weddings in the United States each year, and the weddings business is a $40 billion annual industry, including the ceremony, reception, bachelor(-ette) parties and honeymoon. Increasingly, newlyweds are opting for a cruise for a cost-effective and carefree honeymoon. About 5,000 weddings and vow renewals happen on cruises every year, and cruises now account for 15 percent of all honeymoons. The inclusive nature of a cruise is a leading factor in the decision. A cruise provides a week of great food, pampering and entertainment for about $2,500 or less per person. Most newlyweds say they prefer a week in a fun-and-sun destination. That makes cruises doubly attractive, since they visit several ports and offer a selection of shore tours. Though the Hawaiian Islands remain the all-time favorite honeymoon destination, many newlyweds are choosing cruises in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. And there's no more romantic way to experience the wonders of the Med or Caribbean than a weeklong voyage aboard a tall ship. Star Clippers' three sailing ships only carry up to 170 or 227 guests, and visit some of the world's most exotic destinations. Aboard Star Clippers, newlyweds can experience the luxury of a private yacht while sailing to smaller, lesser-known destinations big cruise ships can't visit. Star Clippers' relaxed yet elegant shipboard atmosphere is the perfect antidote to months of wedding planning. Yet, the emphasis on beach time and water sports, and the array of soft-adventure excursions offered provide opportunities for couples to share new experiences as they start their life together. Whether it's a fabulous honeymoon sailing through the Greek Isles, a barefoot wedding set on a Caribbean beach or a sunset vow-renewal ceremony performed by a ship's captain, Star Clippers offers the romance of a true sailing experience.

Fletcher Elementary School’s Valentine’s Day Dance & Art Show Contributed Article Jamestown Public Schools
Fletcher Elementary School will hold a Valentine’s Day Dance and Mid-year Art Show, sponsored by the Fletcher School PTA, on February 17th from 6 to 7:30 in the Fletcher school old gymnasium. "Dance Your Way" is a casual, fun and free family event for students (and siblings 12 and under) of Fletcher Elementary School and their parents/guardians. Student artwork from the school year will be on display in a competitive art show at the event juried by Fletcher Art Teacher Molly Woodfield. An adult must accompany all children to the events. “Students have been working hard on creating display boards for their artwork to be displayed on using elements of art including line, shape and color,” said Miss Woodfield. “Many pieces in the show relate to ELA and science themes from the Common Core curriculum. Student artwork will also be based on famous paintings, art techniques, and some displayed in the art show will even relate to modern TV shows such as Cupcake Wars.”

Be it a backyard BBQ, a tail gate at your favorite stadium, or a formal dinner, pictures of this event are a must-have. • Decide on your ride. Some people prefer to be whisked away by horse and carriage as if they were Cinderella herself. Others prefer luxury limos and cars as their modern equivalent. For the unique free-spirits of the world, maybe a motorcycle is more your thing. Either way, a great photo opp awaits as you leave your wedding.

UPMC Chautauqua WCA Heart Team Offers Free Blood Pressure Screenings During American Heart Month Contributed Article UPMC Chautauqua WCA
The UPMC Chautauqua WCA heart center team will offer free blood pressure screenings during February American Heart Month. The screenings will be held at UPMC Chautauqua WCA, Cardiology Department, second floor, 207 Foote Ave., Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Registration is not required. The heart team will provide easy-to-understand fact tip sheets on heart and stroke symptoms and prevention. “An ounce of prevention can be the key to living a long and healthy life,” said Toni DeAngelo, RN, director, community health and wellness, UPMC Chautauqua WCA. “According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 75 million American adults have high blood pressure—that’s 1 of every 3 adults. High blood pressure usually has no warning signs or symptoms so many people do not realize they have it. The only way to know if you have high blood pressure is to get it checked. Measuring your blood pressure is quick and painless. We want to encourage residents to stop by the hospital to get their blood pressure checked and pick up the newest information on getting healthy and making the right choices to stay healthy.” UPMC Chautauqua WCA and the Chautauqua Health Action Team (CHAT) will join forces in February to host Hands-Only CPR training and promote messages in the workplace that encourage heart healthy habits. “Chautauqua County has among the highest rates of heart attack and stroke deaths in New York State,” Toni said. “We want to encourage employees make a pledge to commit to change by eliminating workplace candy jars, start a weekly walk, drink water instead of pop, take the stairs instead of the elevator or choose veggies instead of chips. Adopting one small change over a person’s lifetime increases the quality and years of healthy life.” CHAT established a goal of preventing 250 heart attacks, strokes, and related deaths in Chautauqua County in the coming year. More commonly recognized as CHQ250 initiative, 250 lives is county health partners’ commitment in helping the Million Hearts Initiative prevent a million heart attacks and strokes nationwide. For more information on UPMC Chautauqua WCA Heart Center, visit UPMCChautauquaWCA.org or call 716-664-8137. About UPMC Community Benefits Nearly 600 UPMC Chautauqua WCA residents received essential diagnostic information through screenings in 2016. Health screenings are a small part of the more than $892 million a year that UPMC provides in total IRS-defined community benefits, including more care to the Pittsburgh region’s most vulnerable citizens than any other health care institution. Over the past five years, UPMC has dedicated nearly $4 billion to community-focused programs and services,

Opera House Cinema Series to Screen “Fences” Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House
The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is “Fences,” starring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis, who both were awarded Screen Actors Guild Awards for their performances in the film. It will be screened on Sat., Feb. 11, and Tues., Feb. 14, at 7:30 p.m. Nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor for Washington, and Best Supporting Actress for Davis, “Fences” is the film adaptation of August Wilson’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play, which also starred Washington and Davis. The pair won Tony Awards for their performances in the play’s 2010 revival; and the play won the Tony for Best Revival of a Play. “Fences” is the story of Troy Maxson (Washington), a Pittsburgh sanitation worker in the 1950s who once dreamed of a baseball career; but he was too old when the major leagues began admitting black players. He tries to be a good husband and father, but his lost dream of glory eats at him, and causes him to make a decision that threatens to tear his family apart. Washington not only stars in, but also directed this film. Bill Goodykoontz, in the Arizona Republic, calls the film “a feast of brilliant acting, The 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a member-supported not-for-profit performing arts center in a story that’s sometimes as difficult as it is powerful.” J.R.

The Opera House Cinema Series is sponsored by Lake Shore Savings Bank. Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students) the night of each screening.

Sabres Struggle to Generate Offense in Loss to Devils Contributed Article The Buffalo Sabres
For the third time this season, a meeting between the Buffalo Sabres and the New Jersey Devils on Monday night represented an opportunity for the Sabres to shrink a tight gap between the two teams in the standings. And, for the third time, it was the Devils who came out on top. You can point to a number of factors when trying to explain Buffalo's 2-1 loss at Prudential Center. You can question whether or not Evander Kane deserved a double-minor when he stuck up for Zemgus Girgensons in the second period, a penalty that led to New Jersey's first goal, or you can question whether or not a third-period coach's challenge for goalie interference should've gone in Buffalo's favor. You can wonder whether the Sabres deserved more than one power play on a night the Devils had four. Robin Lehner acknowledged all of these factors, but for him, the game boiled down to something much simpler. "They played good. I don't think we played that well," the Sabres goaltender said. In a game that was chippy right from the moment Nicolas Deslauriers fought Joseph Blandisi early in the first period, things escalated when Karl Stollery knocked the helmet off of Girgensons with a hard check into the boards (Girgensons would later do the same thing to Stollery). The hit prompted Kane to retaliate against the Devils defenseman, and Kane ended up receiving four minutes for roughing while New Jersey's Stephen Santini only served two. Adam Henrique banked a puck off of Sabres defenseman Cody Franson and into the net on the ensuing power play to give the Devils a 1-0 a lead 8:46 into the period. Girgensons said he didn't believe that Kane deserved the extra two minutes for his actions, and Sabres coach Dan Bylsma seemed to agree. "Evander's going in there for his teammate," Bylsma said. "That's something we like to see. "I don't necessarily agree with all the calls tonight," he said later. Henrique's goal came on New Jersey's second power play of the night. The Devils were on their fourth power play when Pavel Zacha scored the game-winning goal on a rebound in the third period, breaking the 1-1 tie that the Sabres had earned a few minutes prior thanks to a spin-o-rama goal from Tyler Ennis.

the fight against cancer," said Bruce Popko, EVP of Business Development for Pegula Sports and Entertainment. "Programs like Bald for Bucks not only bring us one step closer to a world without cancer, but also provide important emotional support to those who are battling the disease."
Donations can be made online at Sabres.com/BaldForBucks or at KeyBank Center during the team's home games on Feb. 2, 9, 12 and 19. All money raised will stay in Western New York, with the goal of accelerating promising research projects and supporting programs that assist patients
during their cancer journey. About Bald for Bucks: Goin' Bald for Bucks began in 2002 when Western New Yorker Cathleen George was being treated for cancer. Her brother, Tony, promised his sister that he would shave his head with her and remain bald until her hair grew back.
SABRES STRUGGLE TO GENERATE OFFENSE IN LOSS TO DEVILS, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 25 Bylsma challenged for goalie interference when it appeared a New Jersey stick made contact with Lehner's glove as he attempted to catch the initial shot, freeing the puck and creating the rebound opportunity for Zacha. Officials ruled otherwise. "It's a puck above the crossbar, Robin goes up to catch it and their guy puts his stick into it and I think prevents Robin from catching the puck," Bylsma said. "Yes, the puck gets spit back out and there's a second shot so there's no interference on the second shot but without the stick there, I think Robin catches the puck." Lehner said he agreed with the decision to challenge the play, but he wasn't willing to blame the goal on the contact made with his glove. "He touched my glove a little bit but I don't think significantly," he said. "It's hard to argue if he doesn't have his stick there, [whether] I get it clean or not. I don't know. Maybe, maybe not." Lehner turned in yet another strong outing, following up his 37-save shutout of the Ottawa Senators on Saturday with 37 saves against the Devils. The Sabres simply weren't able to establish their game in the offensive zone, particularly in the second and third periods.
On the night, Buffalo was outshot 39-23. "They really did a good job in the second period of hemming us in and we played a lot of D-zone against them in that stretch of time," Bylsma said. "I think they had nine scoring chances in the second period." "I think we gave them too much," Girgensons said. "We put too much on Lenny's shoulders today. He could've been the difference for us ‌ He made some great saves for us, we've got to play better for our goalie." Ennis extends point streak Ennis tied the game in typical Ennis fashion with 11:21 remaining in the third period. He carried the puck deep into the defensive zone, spun off the body of New Jersey's Stollery along the goal line and tossed the puck toward the net, beating Cory Schneider between the pads. The goal was the third of the season for Ennis and his second in nine games since returning from a groin injury. He now has points in three straight games (1+2). "I'm just trying to get better every day," Ennis said. "With every opportunity I get I've just got to make the best of it and keep capitalizing on opportunities."

AUTO TIPS AND TRICKS 27
Self-Driving Cars Could Allow As Many As 2 Million People With Disabilities to Work Contributed Article AutoTrader.com
Unless you spend your leisure hours pondering self-driving cars and their potential impact on culture and society, you may not have considered many of the collateral benefits. "Self-Driving Cars: The Impact on People with Disabilities," a recently published white paper, shines a spotlight on one such benefit. Autonomous vehicles (AVs) would provide the means for as many as 2 million people with disabilities preventing them from driving to return to the workforce. Experts place the number of persons with a disability of some sort in the United States at roughly 57 million, about 20 percent of the population. Of those, about 6 million have issues accessing needed transportation. One-third of those, or 2 million, are capable and willing to work, if they could get to a job. Lack of reliable transportation is the primary barrier for roughly 25 percent of working-age adults with disabilities who are not working. AVs would help solve that problem and other related issues. The Study A joint effort by the Ruderman Family Foundation, a nonprofit organization focusing on the plights and rights of persons with disabilities, and Securing America's Future Energy (SAFE), whose mission is to reduce America's dependence on oil, the white paper raises awareness of persons with disabilities as they are affected by autonomous technologies. Using data on transportation accessibility for persons with disabilities, models were developed to estimate how better access to transportation would impact these individuals. The white paper's goal? To factor in persons with disabilities when developing the autonomous technologies that will one day lead to totally self-driving cars. Current Alternatives Depending on one's location, there may be a variety of transportation options available. However, some simply aren't accessible to many with disabilities, while others are too expensive. Even in areas with robust public transportation such as buses, subways and trains, broken escalators, out-of-service elevators and sidewalks in disrepair can make public transportation inaccessible and consequently unreliable. Taxi cabs and the personal vehicles of ride-sharing services such as Lyft often aren't configured for wheelchairs. Those that are typically require much longer wait times for passengers. Paratransit services -- those small vans and buses that can be booked by appointment -- often serve multiple users and can add hours to a trip as they stop to pick up and drop off other passengers. There's no way they can be trusted to arrive on time for an appointment or a job. The AV Effect Cars that totally drive themselves would mean persons with disabilities would have door-to-door access not only for jobs but for other chores and tasks, as well. A 2013 study determined that another 3 million votes would have been cast in the 2012 election if those with disabilities had voted at the same rate as those without. AVs would provide those with disabilities access to all manner of civic and entertainment opportunities. The white paper also found that self-driving cars could save as much as $19 billion annually in missed medical appointments. What it means to you: There's no debate that AVs will increase mobility for those no longer capable of driving themselves. At some point, anyone who lives long enough won't be able to drive themselves. Add those with disabilities preventing them from traveling where they want when they want, and the mobility possibilities offered by AVs are staggering.
