Emily Raiport was awarded a $500 scholarship to further her education in Forensic Science/Crime Scene Investigation. Emily, daughter of Stephen and Stacey Raiport, graduated from Pine Valley High School and will attend Hilbert College in the fall. In her application essay, Emily stated, “I enjoy problem-solving and know this will help in my future endeavors. It will make me proud to serve any community as a law enforcement officer in any capacity. I want to motivate and inspire others in my profession.” While attending high school, Emily was involved with the Gowanda Volunteer Fire Department functions, assisted in the clean-up and restoration of homes following Gowanda’s devastating flood of 2009, and volunteered for Pine Valley Basketball CUBS program.

Washington Descendants Gather for 100th Family Reunion Contributed Article J.S. Sipos
Descendants from the Washington family of Dunkirk met recently for their 100th annual family reunion at the Red House in Cassadaga. Steve and Nancy Wickmark of the Red House graciously welcomed the group of over 300 attendees to the reunion. Bruce Washington of Ohio, who has served as president for two years, welcomed all to the 100th reunion, and thanked the committee chairperson Cindy Riggle and all of the committee members for their help in organizing this very special event. The group is known as the "Washingtons of Dunkirk." The family's original immigrants were John Thomas and Elizabeth Ward Washington, who traveled to the United States from Littleport, England in the time period of 1902-1905, with 12 of their 13 children. They built a house on West Sixth Street in Dunkirk where the family was raised. Carl Richter gave the opening blessing to the event with all those attending holding hands. Richter gave thanks for the opportunity for all of the family members to gather for this occasion. Family members brought dishes of food which was served buffet style. The group is famous for baking delicious homemade pies, of which there was a large variety for all to enjoy. The planning committee for this reunion was under the direction of Ms. Riggle. They included Cindy Hannum who was in charge of the "Washington" shirts, Sue Gay who was in charge of the museum displays, Gail Dash who was in charge of cemetery tours, Dave DeRider who was in charge of the golf, Doug and Andrea DeRider who were in charge of games and prizes, Scott Washington who was in charge of food, and Miriam Washington who was in charge of flower decorations. Susan Washington Sipos updated the Washington genealogy book which was 138 pages in length and available to all. Graham and Katy Stoll were in charge of the sound and music. Mr. Richter was in charge of special awards, and

Tom Washington was in charge of cooking the pig for the pig roast. In his speech, President Washington compared life 100 years ago with today, such as the price of a stamp was 2 cents, bread was 9 cents, and the popular song was George M. Cohan's "Over There" since the United States became involved with the first World War. Americans did not drive much, and mostly walked, rode horses or rode trolleys, he said. Following the luncheon, the annual business meeting was held. The oldest present was 98-year-old Rebecca Washington Kugler Dlouhy of Ohio. The youngest was 4-month old Axelle Jane Smith. Chuck Whitmore was recognized for traveling the farthest for this reunion, being from the state of Washington. There were prizes awarded by the DeRider's.
Descendants of nine of the 13 original children were present for the 100th reunion. Following the business meeting, there was music, and singing. A group photograph was taken by past president John Sipos of Cassadaga. Games for the young people were held, including shooting basketballs, egg tossing, and face painting. There was an evening barn dance, and followed by a bonfire. Officers for the next reunion elected are Shane Washington of Washington D.C. as president, John Dewhurst of Pennsylvania as secretary, and Nancy Wickmark of Cassadaga as treasurer. The 2018 reunion is scheduled for Saturday July 14th at 1 p.m. All family members are encouraged to attend.

At the gala event, special guest Karen Oakes, The Rotary Foundation Director for Rotary District 7090 during the 2016-2017 club year, presented an interesting and informative program about the status of polio in the world and RI’s eradication efforts. Oakes, a member of the Rotary Club of Delhi, ON, is currently the RI Zone 24E Foundation Coordinator. Through the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), which is a public-private partnership that includes Rotary, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, and UNICEF, the incidence of polio has been sharply reduced by more than 99.9 percent, from about 350,000 cases a year in 1985 to just 37 cases in 2016. In 2017 only 6 new cases of polio have occurred in the world, which are in the three countries of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Nigeria. Leading the Rotary Club of Westfield-Mayville’s PolioPlus Challenge is Jim Wakeman, who is also this club’s Foundation Chair. All funds raised during this challenge will be matched 1:1 by an anonymous
local foundation. Then the funds will again be matched 2:1 thanks to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Wakeman stated, “The Fredonia Rotaract Club’s generous donation of $1,600 to our club’s PolioPlus Challenge will become $9,600 through the matches. With a dose of polio vaccine costing about 60 cents, this means that approximately 16,000 children can be vaccinated against polio!” “What a truly wonderful example of humanitarian benevolence and compassion the Fredonia Rotaract Club has shown!” exclaimed Wakeman. The Rotary Club extends is gratitude to the Fredonia Rotaractors and its co-advisors for their huge support in raising funds for the fight against polio. The Rotary Club of Westfield-Mayville’s next polio fundraising event will be the “PolioPlus Challenge” Miniature Golf Tournament on Sat. Aug. 19, starting at 9 a.m., at Webb’s Miniature Golf in Mayville, NY. Teams of 4 participants each, as well as 18 “hole sponsors” and one event sponsor are currently being sought.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a lung disease that afflicts millions of Americans, haunts families, and frustrates doctors and researchers, is now the third leading cause of death in the US, behind heart disease and cancer, costing Americans more than $32 billion a year. For those living with or affected by the disease, there is new hope, thanks to a recently unveiled COPD National Action Plan. Developed by patients, agencies and organizations under the stewardship of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the Action Plan shines a spotlight on the devastating physical and emotional toll the disease causes. “Not being able to catch your breath and fearing your next breath may not come is just like drowning,” said Grace Anne Dorney Koppel, president of the COPD Foundation and a longtime COPD patient. “It is frightening beyond words and feels very, very lonely.” Yet many with these symptoms tend to attribute them to something else: the common cold, old age, being out of shape. This lack of awareness delays diagnosis and treatment, worsening the condition and quality of life. Even mundane tasks -- housework, bathing, dressing, walking -- can feel onerous.

UPMC Chautauqua WCA Behavioral Health Moves to New Location Contributed Article UPMC Chautauqua WCA
Officials at UPMC Chautauqua WCA are pleased to announce that UPMC Chautauqua WCA Behavioral Health has relocated to 306 Central Ave., Dunkirk, just steps away from its previous location at 338 Central Avenue. The new, spacious outpatient center will continue to provide confidential counseling services for mental health (adult, adolescent and children) and chemical dependency/drug addiction care. Convenient front door patient parking is available. “Our center has been serving the Dunkirk community for more than 15 years,” Heather Anderson, chemical dependency program manager said. “We are incredibly excited about being in our new facility. As always, from the moment you call or step in the front door, you will be treated with respect,
dignity, and compassion by a team of highly-trained providers. No matter where you are in your journey to recovery, we are here for you.” Services at the Behavioral Health Center include psychiatric assessment, medication management, ancillary withdrawal services, individual and group counseling, family therapy, outpatient services for family members, linkage to self-help support groups, and relapse prevention. Tara Huston, Ph.D, manager, outpatient mental health UPMC Chautauqua Behavioral Health, tells us that the new center provides a variety of mental health services. “We continue to provide the same excellent mental health services that we offered in the past—in a facility that is more conducive to our operations,” said Tara.

PATIENTS, DOCTORS AND RESEARCHERS EMBRACING NEW PLAN TO DEAL WITH COPD, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10 That’s why the first goal of the plan is to empower patients and families to recognize COPD and get treated quickly. “I was diagnosed in 2001 and was told COPD is incurable,” said Dorney Koppel. “But that does not mean [it is] untreatable. Doctors need to teach patients the difference. I was given three to five years to live…sixteen years ago.” Compounded with this misinformation is the idea that it’s exclusively a smoker’s disease mainly affecting men. While it most often affects people over 40 with a history of smoking, as many as one in four with COPD have never smoked. Longterm exposure to substances that irritate the lungs or a genetic predisposition called alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency also present as risk factors. What’s more, 56 percent of those diagnosed are women, and they die of COPD more than men. Unlike heart disease and cancer, COPD prevalence and deaths aren’t decreasing. One in five people over age 45 has it. “You know someone who has it. You may even have it and not know it,” said James P. Kiley, director of NHLBI’s Division of Lung Diseases. So how to reverse this trend? One key is improving the level of diagnosis. “Spirometry is a simple and inexpensive breathing test that can identify COPD,” said Dorney Koppel. MeiLan Han, M.D., medical director of the Women’s Respiratory Health Program at the University of Michigan, agreed, noting another goal of the Action Plan: to equip health care professionals with tools to diagnose and care for COPD patients. “We need to develop easy-to-follow guidelines and get them into the hands of providers on the frontlines.” Developing an educational curriculum and tools for clinical decision-making, in sync with detection and management guidelines, will significantly improve diagnosis and care, said Han. So will improving patient access to spirometry, pulmo-

nary rehabilitation, smoking cessation programs and affordable medications -- all of which are called for in the plan. To learn more about the Action Plan and find out how to get involved, visit COPD.nih.gov. “This plan represents a new understanding of what it takes to minimize the burden of COPD,” said Gary H. Gibbons, M.D., director of NHLBI. “Now, it’s just a matter of getting to work.”

A Decade Later, Economic Crisis Still Hitting Middle-Income Boomers Contributed Article NewsUSA
Ten years after the U.S. financial crisis of 2007, a survey from the Bankers Life Center for a Secure Retirement found that middle-income boomers feel less than secure about their financial future, with almost 100 percent surveyed saying the economy has not fully recovered, and 65 percent believing they have not personally benefitted at all from any recovery.
Prior to the economic crash, many baby boomers had a clear vision of their retirement, but now say in all likelihood they will not be as financially independent as they once thought. Fortunately, resources from organizations such as Bankers Life can help middleincome boomers better plan for retirement with useful tips and how-to's, because no one should have to choose between having to pay for long-term care and buying groceries.

Three Simple Steps that Can Help You Achieve Your Financial Goals Contributed Article StatePoint
Americans have mixed emotions around financial planning, a new study suggests. But setting specific goals can help you achieve the financial outcomes you want. Forty-eight percent of individuals with specific financial goals say they PHOTO SOURCE: (c) ave_mario - Fotolia.com expect to be in a much better place in the next four years, versus only 12 percent of those without goals. The study, “2017 Financial Focus: Goals and Reflections of Today’s Consumer,” conducted by Lincoln Financial Group, found that while Americans have a desire to retire comfortably and support loved ones, there is a fear factor involved in actually saving for these financial needs. Staying grounded and focused is a good first step, say experts. “Those individuals who are progressing with their goals are first and foremost working to ensure they have a solid foundation to build upon,” said Dick Mucci, President of Group Benefits at Lincoln Financial Group. “While it might not be exciting, putting extra money toward things like debt, savings or insurance coverage certainly pays off in the long run, particularly if something unexpected happens.” The study also looked at progress in achieving New Year’s Resolutions -- and 72 percent of Americans are doing pretty well. Those who say they are progressing with their 2017 resolutions in some way are those who are most likely to leverage financial products, such as retirement plans, life insurance and investment accounts. This group also tends to make reducing debt a priority and avoids sacrificing savings when money is tight -- instead they sacrifice the extras, such as vacations. CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

So Your Company Went Mobile ... Now What? Contributed Article NewsUSA
Most companies know the need to go mobile to make their workforce more productive and efficient, but many don't know what is needed outside of buying some tablets and software. The truth is, companies simply don't consider how a mobile employee will carry or use a tablet while out in the field -- whether that be an actual field, the floors of an emergency room, the roof of a hail-damaged house or the halls of a huge hotel. The problem is elegant in its simplicity -- a tablet, like any tool, must be easily carried and accessible at all times. For most of us who sit behind a computer all day, this doesn't seem like an issue -- but think about what it would be like to climb a ladder while, at the same time, juggling a tablet. A mobile device-carrying solution is just as important for anyone working with a tablet (such as an iPad) as it is for a carpenter needing a toolbelt for a hammer.
Mobility is all about efficiency and increased productivity. If executed right, that's the end result. If executed wrong, it can be a costly mistake, hazardous to the worker's safety. Enter RUNNUR, a hands-free, wearable system that locks a tablet directly to an employee's side via a standard belt or heavy-duty belt clip. In one simple click, the system solves the problem of carrying a tablet for on-the-go work, even keeping it safe from inadvertent drops by way of a tethering system (much
like a tiny rock climber's rope). "Our products provide a unique combination of attributes: hands-free functionality, device access in one second, and protection against dropping," says Andrew Hamra, CEO of RUNNUR. "We don't expect a carpenter to carry his hammer around by hand all day. Neither should we expect someone to do the same with their tablet."

Opera House Cinema Series to Screen Sacred Heart “Paris Can Wait” Chicken Barbecue Contributed Article

Sacred Heart Church Lakewood
The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is “Paris Can Wait,” starring Diane Lane and Alec Baldwin. It will be screened on Sat., July 15, and Tues., July 18, at 7:30 p.m. In “Paris Can Wait,” 81-year-old Eleanor Coppola's feature film directorial and screenwriting debut, Anne (Lane) is at a crossroads in her life. Long-married to a successfully driven but inattentive movie producer (Baldwin), she finds herself taking a car trip from Cannes to Paris with a business associate of her husband (Arnaud Viard). What should be a seven-hour drive turns into a journey of discovery involving fine food and wine, humor, wisdom, and picturesque sights – a journey that reawakens Anne’s sense of self and her joie de vivre. Rex Reed, in the New York Observer, calls the film “pure ambrosia.” Leah Greenblatt, of Entertainment Weekly, calls it “a sun-dappled road-trip ramble rich in the buttery wonders of French cuisine.” Anne Hornaday, in the Washington Post, calls it “a modest, genteel piece of cinematic escapism, a

Viognier Reserve Release Party at Arundel Cellars Contributed Article Arundel Cellars & Brewing Co.
Arundel Cellars & Brewing Co. is pleased to announce the release of its newest wine: Limited Edition Viognier Reserve. Arundel wines lovers are cordially invited to celebrate the release of Viognier Reserve on Wednesday, July 19. The release party, held indoors from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., will offer an opportunity to meet the grape grower and winemaker and attend a short presentation abut the wine at 7:15 p.m. Samples will be available; Boyd Baker
will provide the musical entertainment. “As a winemaker, each vintage bottled brings a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment, and this is especially true when there is a close involvement with the wine grape process as early as bud break,” says Lauri Boettcher, partner & winemaker. “This vintage of Viognier takes the appreciation to the next level,” Boettcher continues. “Hand-harvested, with no knowledge that these carefully-selected grapes would in fact be the vineyard’s last, brings special awareness of how delicate a process the art of wine grape growing can be.
“We’re excited to share this beautiful wine with people, a wine that exemplifies the fragility of existence but also celebrates the goodness that comes from it.” Limited Edition Viognier Reserve is priced at $40 per 750 ml bottle, but will be offered during this release party only at a reduced price of $35. It is best served chilled and pairs nicely with Roasted Chicken, Sea Bass, Shrimp, Poached Salmon, Baked Brie with Apricots and Gruyere. The term “reserve” is a term given to a specific wine that is of a higher quality than usual. Winemakers traditionally “reserve” some of their best wine rather

Main Road (Rt. 20), in North East, PA, is a winery/brewery headquartered in a beautifully restored 19th century barn nestled among the vineyards of scenic North East.

Loop the Lake Bicycle Ride Scheduled for July 22 Contributed Article St. Luke’s Episcopal Church
GET THE LATEST
ONLINE:
ChautauquaStar.com
@ChautauquaStar
Local cyclists are invited to take part in the 15th annual ‘Loop the Lake’ bicycle ride on Saturday, July 22nd. The charity event – believed to be the longest-running group ride around the circumference of Chautauqua Lake – is coordinated annually by St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Jamestown. All proceeds from the ride will benefit local youth programs, including the Children of the Book Summer Reading Program, a five-week day camp for children in 3rdthrough 6th grades who need assistance with literary skills. The emphasis of the program is to help maintain reading levels over the summer months, as well as to provide participants and their families with structure and support. The camp, which is currently in its third year, runs for five weeks at the church’s downtown location, 410 North Main Street. The event is being organized and hosted this year by St Luke’s parishioners Jay and Lisa Yaggie and David and Cilla Menzies. Registration will be held at 7:30 the day of the race at the Yaggie’s home, 90 West Summit Avenue, Lakewood. Riders may start as soon as they are registered. Donations will be accepted in lieu of registration fees and riders are encouraged to solicit sponsorships. A $25 donation is suggested for registration. A sag wagon will be available throughout the ride and helmets are required for all riders. “The ride is a 40.3 mile self-paced tour around the entire lake.” explains Yaggie. “There will be plenty of rest stops along the way. We encourage all levels of riders to participate and we will also be offering a half tour (approximately 20 miles) that crosses the lake at Bemus Point for anyone who is not interested in the full loop.”
There will be a rest stop with refreshments at the halfway point and a picnic lunch at the Yaggie’s after completion of the ride. While the purpose of the ride is to raise funds, the focus is more about fellowship and personal improvement, Yaggie says. “The original intent of the ‘Loop the Lake’ ride was to involve riders of all abilities – we do not aim to be the Tour de France. Historically we have had the involvement of serious riders, as well as families and individuals who ride just for fun. The half loop is a great way for the less experienced riders to get involved and enjoy an easier ride. It is a very enjoyable morning, and everyone really seems to have a good time.” The ride is open to the general public – riders do not need to be members of St. Luke’s to participate. Persons interested in riding, donating or volunteering for the event should call the church office at 716-483-6405 or contact Yaggie at jay@theyaggies.com

Better Vision, Worse Result By Contributing Writer Stefan Gestwicki
First a little back story. On Tuesday evening I picked up my glasses. It’s the first pair of glasses I’ve ever had. My vision wasn’t terrible or anything, but I definitely needed a little upgrade. Yeah, getting old stinks. On Wednesday morning, Nick and I decided to battle the rain at The Vineyards in Fredonia. Oddly, it’s the first time I’ve played at the course all season, though I had heard a lot of chatter about how great the course has looked. The good news is that the rain actually completely stopped as soon as we pulled into the parking lot. The other good news is that those people who raved about the course (especially the greens) were 100 percent correct. Yes, the whole course was a little soggy from the night of intense rainfall, but the greens still rolled as true as can be. I can’t wait to get back there on a dry day. Now the bad news. The bad, frustrating, rage-inducing news. My new glasses completely threw off my depth perception. After years of practicing and fine-tuning my swing, it appears as if I’m going to have to rework it from the ground up. Time after time I was hitting the ball off the toe of the club. Driver, iron, wedge – it didn’t matter. It was all the same. As I write this, I’m trying to remember any good drives or iron shots and I can think of one. Just one. Luckily that one good iron shot led to the putt of the day, perhaps the putt of the year. Actually, it may have been my greatest putt ever when taking into consideration the wet greens, which made speed an uncertain factor. We teed off on No. 8 and it was nothing special. Mine got some decent distance, but wasn’t laced down the center of the fairway or anything. My 7-iron that followed, however was a dandy. It felt great off the club, but I totally lost sight of it as the ball went into the overcast sky. Nick tracked it and said he thought it was on the green. Cool beans. Sure enough, the ball was on the very back of the green where the fringe was in my backswing. To make matters worse, the pin was on the very front of the green. Not-so-cool beans. That said (and you may have guessed the result), I dropped the putt from about 45 feet. The ball almost seemed to pause on the lip of the cup before dropping. Those are the shots that can make a terrible round (which I was having) into one you thoroughly enjoy. One shot is all it takes. That birdie was actually my second round in a row with a birdie on a par 4. Nick and I had just talked about how we never birdie par 4’s. For whatever reason neither of has been sinking those birdie putts when we get them. But apparently they’re starting to fall for me. I’ll take it. If nothing else, it’s good for the confidence. When I tee off on a par 5, I know there’s a chance that I’m going to come away with a birdie. Not a good chance, mind you, but probably 90 percent of my career birdies have come on par 5’s. When I tee off on a par 3, I know there’s a pretty good chance that I’ll be putting for birdie, though I can never seem to finish. But when I tee off on a par 4, the best I’m thinking about is a par. That’s a defeatist mentality. As we all know, golf
is such a mental game. I (and you, too) need to stay positive at all times. That was my lone round of the week. Between work, weather and all the family that was in town for my wife’s baby shower, it was a slow week for golf. Hopefully I can make up for that in the next few weeks before Baby Gestwicki arrives. Are there any courses in the area that I need to try? So far I’ve been impressed with all that I’ve played this year. Vineyards, Hillview, Cassadaga Country Club and Rosebrook have all met or exceeded my expectations. I really need to get out to Westfield. The two courses out there are always a blast. But I’d love some suggestions, too. Let me know where you like to go. Until next time, golf is great. Go get some.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article NYS DEC
The recent Lake Erie walleye bite has been excellent, with anglers reporting good catches in multiple locations. Plenty of limit catches have been reported by trollers out of Barcelona who are working depths of 50-70 feet of water with gear run between 30 feet down to just off the bottom. Worm harnesses have outperformed stickbaits. Barcelona anglers are also catching many short walleye and the occasional incidental jumbo perch. The walleye bite has also been good from Cattaraugus Creek to west of Dunkirk with 65 feet as the most mentioned depth. Gear run 40-55 down is a good bet. Action off Sturgeon Point has been spotty. Buffalo anglers are seeing decent walleye catches between 40-60 feet of water. Trolling and bottom bouncing have both been productive. Anglers are seeing decent smallmouth bass action in 25 to 40 feet of water around rocky structure. Good spots to try include Seneca Shoal, Myers Reef, Evans Bar and Van Buren Reef. A drop-shot rig with tubes, plastics or crayfish works well when fishing deeper waters. For more information see the Smallmouth Bass Fishing on Lake Erie page. Upper Niagara River Some walleye are still showing between the head of the river and Strawberry Island, but smallmouth bass catches are more numerous in that area. Anglers can also find smallmouth bass around Motor Island and along the west side of Grand Island. Chautauqua Lake Walleye catches are on the rise in the deeper, center section of the south basin. The better walleye bite in the north basin is still along weed edges. Muskellunge fishing has been a little slow, with most catches still coming along weedlines on large stickbaits. Largemouth bass are available inside 10 feet of water around weed beds and docks. Top water lures, weedless rigged power worms and wacky rigged senkos work well for bucket-mouths. Target smallmouth bass outside deep weed edges and around rocky structure on the bottom. Live minnows, crayfish and plastic creature baits work well. Inland Trout Streams Western New York trout streams are in great shape with moderate flows. There are some light hatches of caddisflies, sulphurs and stoneflies on the streams that have them. Anglers can also see surface action on terrestrial patterns such as ants, foam beetles and grasshoppers. Fish terrestrial patterns on a dead drift, giving a slight twitch every now and again to imitate a struggling insect. Productive offerings for spinning anglers include worms, salted minnows and small inline spinners. Western New York anglers have a variety of Wild Trout Streams and Stocked Trout Streams to choose from. In addition, Public Fishing Rights Maps are available for many of the region's best trout streams. Check out the Fishing For Stream Trout page for introductory information on trout baits, lures, equipment and fishing techniques. Genesee River Angler Diary Program DEC Region 9 Fisheries Unit will be running an angler diary program for the Genesee River during 2017, and is currently looking for anglers to keep diaries. The diarist program aims to record data for trout and bass fishing trips on the Genesee River from the Pennsylvania line downstream through Letchworth State Park from March 1st through October 31st, 2017. If you fish the Genesee River (even once) and would like to contribute your observations by keeping a diary, please call DEC Fisheries at (716) 379-6372 or email fwfish9@dec.ny.gov. If you need more fishing information or would like to contribute to the fishing report, please call or e-mail Mike Todd (716-851-7010; michael.todd@dec.ny.gov). Good Luck Fishing! The fishing hotline can also be heard at (716) 679-ERIE or (716) 855-FISH.

Connected Cars: GM and Jaguar Land Rover Announce Unlimited Data Plan Contributed Article Autotrader
GM and Jaguar Land Rover have advanced their connected cars with separate announcements that each is now offering unlimited data plans across their vehicle lines -- and at an affordable price. With more and more opportunities to connect and stream with smartphone connections through a vehicle's infotainment system, data can be rapidly chewed up. This can leave users of connected cars on the hook for unexpected extra charges at month's end. GM has witnessed a huge jump in in-car data usage in the past year -- 200 percent in Chevrolet products alone. GM and JLR have provided a solution to the data issue by partnering with AT&T to deliver to customers with the appropriate Internet access all the data they want for $20 per month.
GM vehicles must have an activated OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot and an active OnStar subscription, while JLR vehicles need the InControl Wi-Fi system to take advantage of the offer. GM led the way with an early March announcement that every new Chevrolet would qualify for the new plan, and JLR fol-
lowed up less than a month later with its announcement. GM then spread the offer to all of its brands. The $20 charge doesn't include any fees or taxes and automatically renews each month until canceled.

systems with automatic braking, for example, reduce rear-end crashes by 40 percent. Those with just forward-collision warning cut them by 23 percent. With rear-end crashes representing roughly 13 percent of all reported collisions, an automatic-braking FCP would have reduced rear-end crashes in 2013 by 700,000. The jury is still out on some other driver-assistance systems, such as lane-keep assist. IIHS found that most accidents resulting from a car drifting from its lane involve a driver who is sleeping, sick or drunk. In such cases, the car nudging itself back into its lane may not be sufficient to prevent an accident. What it means to you: Technology costs money to buy and to fix. And we haven't even brought up the topic of the costs of insuring against hacking. Even if you're driving an older beater and only pay for liability insurance, the cost of your premiums reflect the added costs of fixing driver-assist systems on vehicles you might crash into.
