Unstructured play outdoors is beneficial to a child’s physical and mental development as well as their understanding and appreciation of the natural world. However, concerns about safety, location, materials and the value of play are often barriers in creating these experiences. This program aims to inspire both kids and adults to make discoveries and feel more comfortable about the natural world through play. Children can play as long as they like as long as their adults stay with them. Parents may want to bring a chair, snack and water or a warm drink. Children need to be prepared to play outside, wearing clothes
You may want to bring an extra change of clothes or a towel for the car ride home. Fee is $6 per child, ages two to eight; no charge for adults. Pay on arrival or online through the Programs page at auduboncnc.org.

Friends & Colleagues Honor SUNY Chancellor visits Fredonia Persell Middle School Teacher Karen Harp Czysz Contributed Article SUNY Fredonia
The State University of New York at Fredonia community was able to get to know Kristina M. Johnson, the new Chancellor of the SUNY system, and she JPS learned about concerns held by administrators, faculty, staff, students and community members at SUNY’s western-most campus at an open forum on Nov. 3 in the Science Center.

She passed away in April. Midway through a schedule to visit all 64 SUNY campuses – she’s been to more than 20 of them since taking the helm of SUNY on Sept. 5 – Johnson called The tree planting was facilitated with the help of Jamestown City Arborist Dan Stone and Forestry Consultant Bruce E.

That’s what can help to continue blossoms. to make students successful. “What I remember most about Karen is her passion – passion for her students Johnson was welcomed by Fredonia President Virginia Horvath.

Karen was a great women raphy was summarized by Kyle Licht, a junior Communications/Video Production major with minors Music, Film Studies, Leadership and English. and it is a tremendous loss for our community but this tree will provide a beautiful memory of Karen for years to come.” “Education has always been something that has enriched my life,” Johnson said. “There is no higher calling than teaching. What we give our students as a result is a window to a better life, a more productive and meaningful life,” she added. “You have to have a base, and that’s the power of the liberal arts and learning about how to put career in the context of the liberal arts.” Issues raised by audience members touched a variety of concerns that have the potential to directly impact the Fredonia campus, as well as campuses throughout the system. Ralph Blasting, dean of the College of Visual and Performing Arts, called attention to a proposal that would reduce out-of-state tuition as a means to attract more students from areas that are adjacent to SUNY campuses but lie outside of the state. Fredonia, as a cultural center midway between Buffalo and Cleveland, has a strategic advantage to attract non-resident students, Dean Blasting noted. “If you think of ourselves as a regional institution, there is a lot of region around here not in New York State,” he remarked. Johnson characterized a lowering of out-of-state tuition as “an interesting proposal” that she will discuss with her budget advisers. “Everything is on the table in terms of building a robust budget for sustainability,” Johnson said. President Horvath offered to provide information of the lower out-of-state tuition proposal that was raised in the state Senate a couple years ago. Contributed Article

Dave Warren Auto Donates School Supplies to Washington Middle School Contributed Article JPS
Dave Warren Auto Group recently donated school supplies to Washington Middle School for their PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) Program, which helps improve social, emotional and academic outcomes for all students. The school supplies will be used in the Washington School Store where students can “buy” school supplies with tickets they earn for good behavior. “I spoke to Dave Warren at the Gerry Rodeo over the summer and explained about to him some of the needs of Washington students,” said Washington teacher, Deb Rein. “I also told him about our PBIS program and how earning tickets for good behavior allows students to get the supplies they
need – with no money. He was excited to help and we can’t thank him enough for his auto group’s donation to our school and students.” During the Gerry Rodeo, they gave away tickets to the Rodeo
for people who stopped by and donated school supplies. They also purchased school supplies to donate. “I think it is important to give back to the community especially our children,” said Mr. Warren.

SUNY CHANCELLOR VISITS FREDONIA, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 Concern about “withering” state support for SUNY that includes a significant drop in state funding in 2008 that was never restored was expressed by Jonathan Chausovsky, associate professor of Politics and International Affairs and co-chair of the University Senate’s Planning and Budget Committee. Johnson pegged the state’s average support of SUNY in the range of 30 percent. She rated that funding level as “extremely generous” when compared to other states, such as Colorado, whose support of higher education has dropped from 30 percent, when Johnson taught at the University of Colorado at Boulder in the mid-1980s, to its current level of about 10 percent. “That has been a story that has played out across the country,” she added. Johnson proposed to increase financial resources by “amping up” partnerships in many different ways, such as philanthropic support in ways that haven’t been done before, notably at the system level. Fredonia has already done very well in this area, she noted, and President Horvath has displayed tremendous leadership in attracting philanthropic support to the campus. “To me, SUNY really punches above its weight (for) the number of students that we educate, the number of programs that we offer, and, the outstanding faculty and staff, so I’m looking for ways to not only enhance our traditional resources, but to also bring to the table new resources that we traditionally have not

accessed,” Johnson said. Johnson also called for building a system-wide endowment that can enhance all individual campuses by attracting resources from foundations, industry and other partners that have traditionally not been brought to the table. Individual campuses have built endowments, but there is no system-wide SUNY endowment, Johnson noted, while other state systems, such as the University of California, have amassed large endowments. In response from concerns raised by Ziya Arnavut, professor of Computer and Information Sciences and president of the Fredonia chapter of United University Professions (UUP) chapter, regarding the use of adjunct faculty due to limited budgets instead of hiring more full-time faculty, Johnson acknowledged that SUNY likely has the highest percentage of adjuncts compared to other publicly supported peer institutions. That issue can be addressed, Johnson said. But she also noted that “one size does not fit all,” referring to adjuncts that can be highly successful and effective in the classroom. In response to the growing linguistic diversity of students in higher education, particularly in New York with instate tuition being offered for students in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and other areas damaged by severe weather, Johnson indicated that Fredonia, through its ECC English program, is wellequipped to serve students whose primary language is

Fredonia was the last stop of a tour last week that had Johnson traveling to SUNY New Paltz on Tuesday for a groundbreaking ceremony and to meetings with the Faculty Council of Community Colleges and President Duckworth at Jamestown Community College on Thursday. Students, faculty and staff were joined by Athanasia Landis, mayor of the Village of Fredonia; Cheryl John, director of Native American SUNY Western Consortium; and Willie Rosas, mayor of Dunkirk. All three extended a generous welcome to Johnson. “Dunkirk feels very much a part of the university family,” Mayor Rosas said.

Trifle Mania, Part One By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
I’ve shared before, multiple times, even, about my love for this dessert. It’s easy, versatile, and there’s one for everyone. Not to mention it’s pretty much foolproof. It would take some serious trouble to mess up a trifle. You need not be concerned about a dry cake, frosting, or crumbs, or even layers. Normally, I would tell you a cute little story to go along with why I am sharing this particular recipe, but if I do that, then I can’t share as many recipes…. Yes, that means multiple trifle recipes (insert dramatic shocked emoji face that resembles ‘The Scream.’) Some of these have been shared before, but a reprint has been requested. Like that classic encore after a band leaves the stage… However, two of these are new recipes that I made just for a snack following church this past Sunday. This dessert can feed a crowd, but it’s also incredibly easy to go through an entire dessert with a small crowd, because they are just that good. Here is part one of the ‘Trifle Mania,’ that is the abundance of trifle recipes I am about to share with you over the next couple of weeks. Get ready, and don’t forget to check back next week for more trifles! As always, thanks for reading, and happy trifling from HBK! Peanut Butter Brownie Prepared and cooled 9x13 pan of • 1 brownies • 1 Family size box of pudding • 2 C. Milk • 1 C. Peanut Butter • ½ tsp. Vanilla extract • 3 C. Whipped Cream • 1 ½ C. Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups, chopped Cut the brownies into chunks, and prepare the pudding. Pour milk into mixing bowl first, then add pudding mix. Mix for 2 minutes on medium speed, then add peanut butter and extract. Blend well, for about 1
minute and 30 seconds. Transfer pudding mixture to another bowl if using same mixing bowl to make whipped cream. Make whipped cream and chop peanut butter cups into small pieces. Layer in trifle bowl, using about half of each ingredient for each layer. Example, one and a half cups whipped cream, then half the brownie chunks, one and a half cups of pudding mix, then peanut butter cups, then repeat again. Chill until serving! Strawberry Shortcake Trifle • 1 prepared and cooled, yellow cake • 1 box family sized vanilla pudding • 3 C. Milk • 3 C. Whipped Cream
• 3 C. Strawberries, sliced • 3 Tbsp. Sugar Cut cake into cubes, and slice strawberries. Mix strawberries together with the sugar and let sit. Prepare pudding, mixing for 2 minutes on medium. Remember to pour milk in first! If using the same mixing bowl for whipped cream, transfer pudding into a separate container. Prepare whipped cream. Layer in trifle bowl, using half of each prepared ingredient per layer. 1 ½ cups whipped cream, half of the cake cubes, 1 ½ cups pudding, 1 ½ cups sliced strawberries and repeat. These measurements do not need to be precisely measured out. I just eyeball it. This is just to give a better idea of how much to use. Chill before serving.

stroke experts can see and assess the patients in real time,” explains Emelia. “With help from the emergency department physician and hospitalist, we determine if a patient is a candidate for acute stroke therapy, including intravenous TPA.” According to the American Heart Association, someone dies from heart disease, stroke or another cardiovascular disease every 43 seconds in the country. Yet, research indicates that few people understand what a stroke is and how to recognize when a stroke is happening. A stroke happens when blood flow to an area of the brain is cut off. Brain cells are deprived of oxygen and begin to die. “A stroke can cause permanent loss of speech, movement, and memory,” says Emelia who guided the hospital’s designation process. “By learning the acronym, FAST, you can help detect and enhance the responsiveness to stroke victims and potentially save lives.” The letter F.A.S.T. can help individuals remember what the sudden signs of stroke are: • Face drooping • Arm weakness • Speech difficulty • Time to call 9-1-1
Post-stroke rehabilitation is a huge part of the stroke recovery process. Physical therapists are able to guide patients through the stages of stroke recovery as they relearn basic muscle movements.
Emelia also tells us if you are experiencing signs or symptoms of a stroke, it is very important to get immediate medical attention. “Call 9-1-1 immediately,” Emelia cautions. “Always err on the side of caution. Immediate treatment may help minimize the long-term effects of stroke and improve a patient’s recovery outcome. Thanks to recent medical advances, stroke treatments and survival rates have improved over the last decade.” Interested groups, agencies, and organizations who are interested in learning more about stroke care at your next meeting, can contact the UPMC Chautauqua WCA Speakers’ Bureau at 716-664-8614 to schedule a health care speaker.

If You Missed the Medicare Open Enrollment Period
! ! E E E E FFRR
Contributed Article Office for the Aging
1. Look for Other Drugs. If you missed Open Enrollment and you can't change your coverage, try to optimize the drugs you're taking to fit your current plan. PlanPrescriber surveyed people on their website and found that one-in-three (34 percent) took a drug that wasn't covered by their Medicare plan in the coming year. If these individuals didn't update their coverage in time, they'd not only pay full price for that drug, but their expenses wouldn't count toward getting them out of the "donut hole." If you're in the same boat this year, don't despair. The Medicare Modernization Act (MMA) requires every Medicare plan with prescription drug coverage to include at least two drugs in each category and class. Even if your plan doesn't cover the drug you take, it must cover another drug designed to treat the same problem. Talk to your doctor to find what other drugs exist to treat your illness and discuss the possibility of switching. 2. Annual Disenrollment Period Starts January 1, 2017. Medicare's Annual Disenrollment Period (MADP) lets you "dis-enroll" (cancel) from a Medicare Advantage plan if it fails to meet your needs. You can also add drug coverage at the same time. In 2017, ADP starts on January 1 and ends on February 14. If you decide to drop a Medicare Advantage plan, you will have the option to enroll in a stand-alone Medicare prescription drug plan so that you don't lose drug coverage. If you abandon a Medicare Advantage plan you're giving up benefits such as the network of providers who participate in that plan and a cap on your out-of-pocket spending for medical bills (provided those costs are approved by Medicare). These are two benefits original Medicare doesn't have. So, before you dis-enroll in a plan, do some homework to be sure you'll still have the coverage you need. 3. Investigate Medicare Special Enrollment Periods (SEPs). Medicare also provides SEPs for people who need to change their coverage outside of AEP. A person may qualify for an SEP if they move permanently outside of their plan's service area; become eligible for a low-income subsidy due to a loss of income; receive incomplete information about what qualifies as creditable prescription drug coverage or lose that coverage through no action of their own; if they become eligible for Medicare and Medicaid ("dual eligible") but lose their dual eligibility status; if they live in, are moving into, or moving out of certain types of skilled nursing facilities; if they receive a retroactive Medicare entitlement determination; or if they qualify for other special enrollment periods that may be authorized by the federal government. 4. Enroll into NYS Pharmaceutical Assistance Program (EPIC). One of the many benefits that NY seniors who enroll into EPIC receive is a Special Enrollment Period to make a change in your insurance coverage ANY time during the course of the year if your current plan is not meeting your needs or if your health changes and you need a different type of health care plan. If you missed Medicare’s Open Enrollment, don't feel as though you're trapped in a plan that doesn't meet your needs. If the cost of drugs, coverage or key benefits becomes more than you or a loved one can afford, there may be opportunities to make changes. The key is to be proactive. Reach out to the Office for the Aging and ask to speak with a certified Health Insurance Counselor who can help you figure out what those opportunities are and how to take advantage of them.

How to Save on Mobile Devices this Holiday Season Contributed Article StatePoint
Holiday spending is expected to rise this year over last, according to the National Retail Federation. While you may be budgeting for a more expensive season in some ways, keep in mind that when upgrading mobile devices for yourself or loved ones, you don’t necessarily need to go brand new and pay a premium. Lingering misconceptions persist that refurbished devices were necessarily broken or had problems. However, many such mobile phones, tablets and accessories that come from trade-in and upgrade programs were perfectly good devices that owners sent in for newer models. Luckily, for bargain hunters, such trade-ins and sales are becoming more popular, making it easier to navigate the market for a previously owned device. Just be sure you stick to reputable sources where you can trust the device to be in fully functional condition. For example, those from MyWit on eBay undergo an extensive 65-point inspection of cosmetic, functional and radio frequency (RF) performance to ensure 100 percent functionality. Tests verify that every function that a customer can use (camera, audio, SIM, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) is in excellent working order

and RF tests ensure wireless devices deliver a consistent quality of connection and do not drop available signals. “These days, refurbished devices can provide an affordable, high-quality
alternative to a new device,” says David Conti, director of eCommerce at MyWit. “It’s also a thoughtful option for the eco-conscious, extending the life of devices and reducing electronic waste.”
This holiday season, stretch your holiday budget without sacrificing on quality. Consider a great cost-saving secret on mobile upgrades, replacements, and tech gifts.

Florida Continues High-Tech Boom with Biotech Business Contributed Article NewsUSA
If you're in the biotech industry and wondering what state is first in class for medical device and pharmaceuticals manufacturing, as well as research and development (R&D) in this industry, the answer doesn't lie in the west or the northeast. Florida is where you'll find that leadership and expertise. In fact, the state retains more than 325 biotechnology companies and R&D institutes that are creating some of the most exciting advancements in innovation and discovery, particularly through patents and clinical trials. The hightech center of Florida rivals some of the greatest in the country and the work of these researchers is turning heads. Companies such as: BioFlorida, Mayo Clinic Jacksonville, the University of South Florida Research & Innovation, NSU Cell Therapy Institute, High-Tech Corridor, The Max Planck Institute, Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies, and Scripps Florida are working in the industry across the state. The state's biotechnology industry would not be the powerhouse that it is today without the help of Florida's universities.

Ordinary People Making Extraordinary Differences for Children with Cancer Contributed Article
Veterans can also comparison shop for Medicare Advantage and prescription drug plans, as well as research prescription drug costs, on the website Medicare.gov. Furthermore, Humana provides guidance about Medicare Advantage plan options by partnering with organizations that support veterans, including through its national affiliate partnerships with the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States (VFW) and American Veterans (AMVETS). With whatever health-care options veterans choose for themselves and their families, having a personal commitment to well-being is a part of the equation. Gallardo, a Humana Medicare Advantage member, understands that he has to do his part in staying healthy. "My part is being healthy and to stay active and keep the cogs turning and keep'em oiled," says Gallardo. Humana is a Medicare Advantage HMO, PPO and PFFS organization and a stand-alone prescription drug plan with a Medicare contract. Enrollment in any Humana plan depends on contract renewal.

When it comes to helping children with cancer, amazing new things are possible -- as long as there is funding. And it’s not just doctors and researchers who can make a difference, it can be anyone volunteering at their local hospital, planning fundraisers, or simply just spreading the word – all paving the way for a brighter future for children with cancer. Luckily, efforts are being made to help by both private businesses and individuals across the country. For example, Aflac has raised and contributed more than $118 million to the cause and is making strides to help increase awareness to encourage others to get involved. Aflac herein means American Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus or New York. Since 2013, the company has donated $2 to The Aflac Foundation for every use of the hashtag #Duckprints across social media, up to $1.5 million per year. To learn more about how you can help, visit aflacchildhoodcancer.org. With more support and increased funding, more children can get the care they need.

Opera House Cinema Series to Screen “Victoria & Abdul” Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House
The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is “Victoria & Abdul,” starring Academy Award-winner Dame Judi Dench and Ali Fazal. The extraordinary true story of a unexpected friendship in the later years of Queen Victoria’s remarkable rule, it will be screened on Sat., Nov. 11 and Tues., Nov. 14, at 7:30 p.m. When Abdul Karim (Fazal), a young clerk, travels from India to participate in the Queen Victoria’s (Dench) Golden Jubilee, he is surprised to find favor with the Queen herself. As the Queen questions the constrictions of her longheld position, the two forge an unlikely and devoted alliance with a loyalty to one another that her household and inner circle all attempt to destroy. As the friendship deepens, the Queen begins to see a changing world through new eyes and joyfully reclaims her humanity. Roger Moore, in Movie Nation, calls
the film “a bloody delightful romp.” Peter Howell, in the Toronto Star, calls it “a film of solid craftsmanship led by another royally magnificent performance by Judi Dench.” Steven Whitty, in the Newark Star Ledger, says “the idea that two people – separated by class, a creed, a continent and half a century
– could still share such a perfect bond of innocent friendship seems like an awfully important one.” Rex Reed, in the New York Observer, says “Judi Dench can do no wrong, and playing Queen Victoria for the second time in the richly satisfying Victoria and Abdul is an acting lesson par excellence that
Gladius Concert at Ellington Library Contributed Article Ellington Library
More than a fabulous performer and award-winning composer, listeners have called Gladius a miracle in the making -the guitarist has prevailed over a crippling case of nerve damage which greatly hindered the dexterity of both hands, and could have easily ended a musician's career. Eleven years, four surgeries, 9000 hours of physical therapy, and countless prayers later, Gladius perseveres: relentlessly touring, recording, inspiring audiences of all ages, and winning numerous composition awards such as: Driven Creativity Competition (2013) and Music Composition Contest (2013), among others. Inspired by the great composers, Spanish guitar maestros, and much more, this musical mad scientist fuses the elements into a refreshing formula—evoking the Spanish spirit, yet distinctly unorthodox. The Ellington Farman Library is pleased to host Gladius in concert on Monday November 20th at 7:30 p.m. There are only 55 free tickets available and they are going fast.

Winged Ox Players to Host Murder Mystery Dinner Nov 18th Contributed Article St. Luke's Episcopal Church
On Saturday, November 18 at 7 p.m., St. Luke’s Episcopal Church will be hosting its second Murder Mystery Dinner Fundraiser. Written by local playwright, Richard Olson-Walter (Least Resistance), this year’s Murder Mystery is set in 1925, when guests are invited to the local gangland boss’s birthday party at his club, “The Speakeasy.” During the evening’s festivities, one of our guests ends up dead!? “What guest?” you ask. The more important question is, “who did it!?” The rival gang leader? The crooked judge? Perhaps, the cocktail waitress? They all have motive, but it’s up to you to find out “Who dunnit?” Danica Olson-Walter, the Director of Children and Youth Ministry for St. Luke’s and the organizer of the Murder Mystery Fundraiser Dinner invites the community to join in on the fun. “In addition to the murder mystery itself, guests can expect to experience live music and ‘mocktails’ (virgin cocktails) taken directly from the Prohibition Era.” she says. “Costumes are encouraged as a prize will be given for best female and best male costume, as well a prize for our special Murder Mystery Trivia and a raffle. Come eat, drink, hear, see, and learn about everything from the ‘Great Gatsby’ era.” The event will take place in the church’s newly refurbished undercroft, 410 North Main Street, Jamestown. The cost for this evening of delicious food and fun is $25, with reservations being taken over the phone at 716.483.6405 or by email stlukes@stlukesjamestown.org.

For what it’s worth, I also kept track of Nick’s stats. He actually played a couple more times at Hillview than I did, but overall it was a comparable number. His best hole was No. 5, by far. He averaged just over bogey at 4.1. His worst hole by a wide margin was No. 1, where he averaged worse than double bogey at 6.2. We talked often about needing a practice hole. You can see that both of us struggled mightily on No. 1 for the entire season. If you’re a sports fan, the odds of you liking statistics are pretty good. I do highly recommend that you keep stats for yourself if you play the same course(s) a lot. It’s fun to analyze which holes you do well on and which ones simply have your number. Or maybe you just think I’m a nut now. Either way, golf is great. Go get some.

Nissan's Self-Driving Cars of the Future
Contributed Article Autotrader
Recently, Nissan invited a group of automotive press to Japan to see firsthand some of their new and upcoming in-car tech and, as you might have guessed, much of it is related to driver-assist and self-driving technologies. Frankly, Nissan is farther along with self-driving tech than I would have guessed -- getting that message out, and therefore cars in the hands of paying consumers, will be the next big challenge. Communication Breakdown Lately, I've seen several examples of how communicating an idea is just as important as the idea itself. In one case, a fairly low-level inconvenience wasn't communicated at all, and in another a fairly important, high-level change was handled so poorly that it basically undid months of goodwill prep and added an extra sting to the already touchy situation. Both were just communication errors; the actual events didn't change at all, only people's perceptions of those events. Safe to say, if you're in a position of authority and not communicating your thoughts or ideas well, you might as well just skip the whole endeavor. On the other hand, good communication essentially equals success. For example, Nissan is doing such a good job of letting the press and public know about some of their emerging technology that they've become the de facto winner in the race toward driver assist and, eventually, totally self-driving cars. Is their tech the best? Will it be the first? I don't know -maybe, maybe not. It doesn't really matter. The fact is, they're shouting about it so loudly that you kind of have to pay attention. Thankfully, the shouting is backed up by useful, realworld technology, and it's already working in some vehicles. Demo In a recent Automotive News article, former autoindustry executive Bob Lutz describes an automotive future where cars enter and exit highways, merge and navigate superhighways automatically. He says
that spells the end of the traditional automobile as we know it and gives a timeline of roughly 20 - 30 years. He has one part right because I've seen a Nissan sedan negotiate traffic exactly the way he describes. Will this technology spell the end of the human driver and driving as we know it? That part isn't so clear. I sat in the back seat of an Infiniti Q70 equipped with a sophisticated version of Nissan's ProPilot technology. The car was able to get itself from one navigation point to the other with very little human interaction. That interaction included the human "driver" entering the destination into the car's onboard navigation system and raising the car's set cruise control speed to see if it would pass a slower car (because we asked). It did. This was not done on a closed course but rather in Tokyo on surface streets and highways including highway on-ramps and exits and both left and right turns. I suspect the "driver" was unnecessary and was there primarily to ease nerves. There is one little caveat: This was done in Toyko, where most streets and roads are VERY clearly marked and easy to understand, even for cameras. Also, the speed limits are a little lower on the highways there. In many cases, the posted limits were 60 to 80 kilometres per hour, roughly 40 to 50 miles per hour. It's as controlled an environment as you can get and still be in the real world. There were three of us in this one self-driving car; for the first 10 minutes, we sat amazed that the car was driving itself and negotiating real-world traffic. Then, as quickly as it started, it became normal.
The conversation went like this. "Wow, so the car knows there's a red light?!" "…and it just passed that slower car…. Cool…, hey did you guys see that gigantic Tower Records in the heart of Tokyo? I spent two hours there last night." They have everything from…." And just like that, we accepted that the car in which we were riding was, essentially, driving itself. I expect the rest of the world will have the same reaction. In Quotes Later, at the Tokyo Auto Show, I asked Daniele Schillaci, EVP global marketing and sales for Nissan, how long it would be before such a car could be ready for consumers in the real world. His answer is somewhat nuanced: "Just beyond 2022 to 2023 for full autonomous in specific cities" That answer is both overly optimistic and a little conservative at the same time. In cities like Las Vegas, San Francisco or Chicago, where the downtown area is rather well defined, it could be sooner. I'm picturing vehicles on a loop of sorts, maybe even similar to San Francisco's Muni trolley/buses that are already bound to specific streets, because they run off overhead electrified cables. The bus technology already exists in the form of Olli. How long until the average shopper can go buy a car that drives itself part of the time with the infrastructure of an entire state or even country supporting it? I think that's much farther out -- perhaps as much as 15 to 18 years. CONTINUED ON PAGE 27

Safe Driving Tips for Teens and Young Adults Contributed Article StatePoint
It’s easy for young drivers to feel invincible, but they shouldn’t take their safety for granted. Many experts say driver safety begins with tires, as they are the only thing connecting a car to the road. To help teens and young adults stay safe on the roads, Cooper Tire & Rubber Company and the National Organizations for Youth Safety (NOYS) offer these tire safety tips. • Check tire condition. Damaged tires can shorten tire life and even cause tire failure. Visually check tires for cuts, cracks, splits, punctures and bulges. If any of these conditions are spotted, or if there are any doubts about the condition of the tires, have them professionally inspected. • Check tire pressure. Proper air pressure improves fuel consumption and helps prevent uneven wear of tires. It also offers drivers better control, which is important for those with less experience behind the wheel. More than 50 percent of American vehicles have at least one under-inflated tire, according to a Rubber Manufacturers Association survey. To test tire pressure, wait until tires are cool -- a minimum of three hours after driving. Then, remove the tire’s valve cap and press the top of a tire pressure gauge firmly on the valve stem. A reading will pop up on the gauge. If the reading is lower than the recommended level, add air and check again. Once the recommended pressure is reached, replace the valve cap. • Check tire tread. Proper tread depth helps maintain traction, improves handling of the vehicle and prevents hydroplaning. To check it, insert the edge of a penny in the most worn groove of the tire tread, with Lincoln’s head down and facing the driver. If the top of Lincoln’s head is covered by tread, there is at least a minimum acceptable amount of tread. If the top of his head is visible at any point, it’s time to replace the tire. • Make it a habit. Technology can prepare young drivers for safer driving. For example, the free Tread Wisely app from Cooper Tire and NOYS, informs users how to check their tires using helpful videos and allows them to set automatic monthly reminders to perform tire checks. Other videos on the app instruct young drivers how to change a flat tire, what to do if they are in an accident, and how to handle other issues on the road. The app also includes a unique “I got there” feature, which reminds young drivers to let parents or friends know after they make it to their destination safely, using pre-loaded text messages. More tire tips and information about the Tread Wisely app can be found at TreadWisely.org. “As a parent, you can’t help but worry,” says race car driver Johnny Unser, whose own teen daughter Loni uses the Tread Wisely app. “However, you can give your kids the tools and information they need to succeed out there on the road.”

NISSAN'S SELF-DRIVING CARS OF THE FUTURE, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 26 Positioned To that end, Nissan showed a concept car in Tokyo; it's called the IMx. It has a steering wheel and pedals that can stow out of the way when the car "drives itself." Optimistic? Sure, but that's the fun of concept cars -- and kudos to Nissan for creating such a forward-looking concept in the first place. Note to automakers: No one wants to come to your press conference to hear executives talk about net gains, EBDITA and sales goals only to see a concept car that looks 90 percent like a production car -- take Nissan's lead, and show the world something amazing. To be fair, other automakers like Ford, General Motors and Volvo are working on similar tech as an extension of their driver-assist features, many of which are already available on new cars today. Nissan is getting ahead of the game by developing and, more importantly, communicating their vision of the future of the automobile. I believe General Motors will be a powerhouse in the next 20 years, as well. If I had to guess, I'd say Nissan has the will, ability, desire and dealer network to become the go-to source for cars that will eventually drive themselves.
