Two early childhood exhibits to open at museum of science Two special early childhood exhibits, Curious George: Let’s Get Curious! and Science + You will both pay a visit to the Buffalo Museum of Science (BMS) February 7 through May 10, 2015. Presented locally by GEICO with education support from Doodle Bugs Children Centers, both exhibits are included with general museum admission and free for BMS Members and children under two. Curious George: Let’s Get Curious The insatiable curiosity of Curious George – the little monkey who has captured the imagination and hearts of millions of children and adults for almost 75 years – comes to life in Curious George: Let’s Get Curious! Sponsored nationally by 3M, the adorable exhibit introduces young children to Curious George’s world and leads visitors on a fun, meaningful interactive math, science and engineeringbased adventure. Based on the familiar characters in H.A. and Margret Rey’s classic stories published by Houghton Mifflin, the Curious George exhibit inspires young children’s natural curiosity as they explore early science, math and engineering through hands-on interactive play. The immersive exhibit environment takes place in the neighborhood where Curious George lives with his friend, The Man with the Yellow Hat. Visitors will recognize familiar characters and places featured in the classic stories and the new
television series produced by Imagine Entertainment, WGBH Boston and Universal Studios Family Productions on PBS KIDS. The exhibit’s content is based on educational standards developed by Minnesota Children’s Museum and an expert advisory panel to the PBS KIDS series, as well as national science and math standards for young children. Designed, developed and built by Minnesota Children’s Museum in partnership with Universal Studios Consumer Products Group, Curious George: Let’s Get Curious! began touring in September 2007. Inside the Exhibit Apartment Building Operate wheels to move George on pulleys from window to window. Climb the fire escape and climb inside to play with color, light and shadow. Sidewalk Produce Stand Play customer or salesperson and explore shape, sorting, weighing and counting with fruit and vegetables. Construction Site Climb into the construction trailer and design a building, then make use of a bounty of building materials and get to work constructing different structures and using machines to move materials. City Park Enjoy the urban green space: rest or give a hug to a full-size George and take a picture! Our youngest visitors will enjoy our busy wall activities for babies and toddlers.
Two special early childhood exhibits, Curious George: Let’s Get Curious! and Science + You will both pay a visit to the Buffalo Museum of Science. Mini Golf Use pipes, ramps, funnels, turntables, bumpers and force to experiment with physics and engineering as you putt through three holes of mini golf. Space Rocket Climb into the rocket Curious George took on his space adventure! Catch a glimpse of George in his space suit then take a picture from the control station and
email it home. Farm Take a vacation to the country and visit the farm. Experience cause and effect and use wind power to move yard art like whirligigs, windmills, windsocks, and wind chimes. Build your own whirligig and care for the farm animals. Museum Within the Museum Learn new things about
George when you visit the Museum within the Museum. Follow H.A. and Margaret Rey’s work, the escape from France to safety during World War II that saved the Curious George manuscript, and Curious George throughout the years. Science + You Sponsored by the AbbVie Foundation, the Science + You exhibit offers a child-sized laboratory where children can explore how scientists impact health and wellness. Through hands-on, interactive machinery, processes and technology, Science + You demonstrates the role science plays in keeping the body healthy. A demonstration area of the exhibit also will allow visiting scientists and educators to perform fun and interactive scientific experiments appropriate for young children. The exhibit was created by Kohl Children’s Museum of Greater Chicago, located in Glenview, Illinois. Since its debut there in 2011, the exhibit has traveled to museums in Washington, D.C. and San Francisco, as well as internationally to Germany and Brazil. “The Science + You exhibit is designed after research labs at AbbVie,” said Stephanie Bynum, vice president of programs at Kohl Children’s Museum. “We consulted with their scientists to find effective ways to communicate scientific discovery.” “We are thrilled to be a part of this unique and exciting exhibit that allows children to become young scientists,” said Tracie Haas, divisional
vice president for corporate responsibility at AbbVie. “Using the hands-on tools, machines and processes in the exhibit will give them a better understanding of how scientists work, which will hopefully inspire an interest in science and the pursuit of future science careers.” Entering the Exhibit Children will enter the exhibit as if entering a reallife laboratory. At the first station they can pretend to wash their hands, wipe their feet and shower before they put on their white lab coat and learn how important it is for scientists to work in a clean environment. Antibodies Demonstrating how antibodies act in the body, this component of the exhibit offers children the opportunity to understand a complex process through play by transferring germs (magnetic balls) from the body to a “white blood cell” tube using a moveable antibody. Glove Box Children can use a glovebox, a sealed container used by real-life scientists, with gloves built into the sides allowing one to manipulate objects safely. Demonstrating how scientists use a glovebox to contain materials as well as protect themselves, the children will wear thick gloves to measure substances using beakers, funnels and other lab equipment.

Expert advice on enticing kids to eat their fruits and vegetables (NAPSI)—As many parents know, kids can be picky eaters. And according to a recent study, moms are concerned that their kids aren’t eating enough fruits and vegetables. “We found that moms understand the health benefits of fruits and vegetables but struggle to get their family to eat them,â€? said Elizabeth Pivonka, Ph.D., RD, president and CEO, Produce for Better Health Foundation. “Today, Americans are currently eating less than half of the recommended cups of fruits and vegetables each day.â€? To better understand the situation, the Produce for Better Health Foundation conducted its annual research on “Moms’ Attitudes and Beliefs Related to Fruit & Vegetable Consumption.â€? The study found: • Ninety percent agree that a diet that includes fruits and vegetables may help their child avoid obesity. • Ninety percent agree that a diet with more fruits
and vegetables promotes their family’s overall health and may prevent disease, now and in the future. • Ninety percent agree that a diet that includes fruits and vegetables may help promote well-being of mind and body. • Eighty-nine percent agree that more fruits and vegetables plus more physical activity means the family can be at its best. There’s been a steady improvement over time in the level of ease moms reported regarding their ability to access fruits and vegetables for their families at restaurants and quick-service restaurants. Setting out a fruit bowl, having vegetables cut up and ready to eat in the refrigerator, and finding ways to hide produce in other foods are some of the ways to get more fruits and vegetables into a family’s diet. The research also found that kids tend to eat more produce when they are involved in the growing, selecting and preparing of food. To get
Crossword Answer
kids more involved, Pivonka provided these tips: 1. Let kids get involved in planning meals for the week and challenge them to find ways to make sure a fruit and vegetable are included in each meal. Remember, canned, frozen and dried fruits or vegetables, in addition to fresh, are all great options! 2. Get kids involved in using produce to make juices or smoothies. It can be a fun activity for kids to use a blender or juicer to show them there are other ways to eat your fruits and vegetables. 3. Teach kids about produce that’s in season and how to select the best produce. Take them to a farmer’s market to talk with growers. This also provides a great opportunity to try new produce they didn’t know they enjoyed. 4. Starting a backyard garden can be a great way to get kids interested and involved. Monsanto, through its Seminis Home Garden division, is working to make growing backyard produce more accessible for busy families by creating seed varieties that are easy to grow.

Museum - From Front Exploring how scientists use machines to mix liquids and solids, this component of the exhibit demonstrates how different types of equipment function. Children can see the machines in action and can also manually mix and separate liquids and solids themselves. Magnification Area This exhibit features a specialized Wentzscope and video microscopes that magnify objects on a large video screen, allowing younger children to compare and contrast an array of natural and man-made items
up close. Healthy Lifestyle Science has shown us that we need a balanced lifestyle to stay healthy. This exhibit component emphasizes the importance of nutrition, exercise and rest with an interactive activity. The exhibit features an outline of a human body with a hollow center. Children place puzzle pieces representing various forms of nutrition, exercise and rest into a hollow outlined body. When a healthy balance of all the components is achieved, children hear a congratulatory message. Test Kitchen In the test kitchen children
are challenged to make a ‘healthy soup’ choosing their own combination of appropriate ingredients. Teaching children the importance of a balanced diet, this exhibit has stations with soup pots that can hold up to six ingredients. Children pick the ingredients from the five food groups. The burner under their soup pot lights up when they’ve selected the correct balance of healthy ingredients. Science Reflection Children can share their scientific thoughts and reflections after experiencing in the exhibit. A variety of images, drawings and terminology
from the exhibit is provided that children can use to create their own collage. A display wall allows children to share their collage reflection with the public. Grease pencils will also be provided for children to write down their impressions. Admission to both Curious George: Let’s Get Curious and Science + You are included with general museum admission ($10 adults, $9 seniors, $8 children 2-17). Both exhibits will be open during normal museum hours of 10am to 4pm seven days a week. For more information on either exhibit, visit http://www. sciencebuff.org/exhibits/.

Local sports South skipper optimistic after Billies’ first loss of season
By Melissa Brawdy SPORTS REPORTER
Losing is never fun, but Williamsville South was handed just its first loss of the season on Saturday (Jan. 3) in a 61-50 defeat to Aquinas at a tournament hosted by South. Still, coach Gabe Michael was optimistic about his team and the way the Billies played. “We didn’t execute as well as we’d like to execute, but there were a lot of positives, not negatives,” Michael said. “Your first loss is going to come eventually.” Rebounds, injuries and foul trouble were South’s u n d o i n g o n S a t u r d a y. Aquinas is a strong team as it is, and the Billies fell just short of doing enough to win. Michael was still impressed with his team’s competitiveness. “That’s probably the best team we’ll play all year, so we hung with them,” Michael said. “We had our
chances to win, and you take some positives out of that, but you’d love to finish the game. We got out rebounded by 10, which is not great for us, and I think that really contributed to us losing the game.” Kam Varner, one of the team’s starting forwards, only played four minutes due to injury. Greg Dolan, the starting point guard, had his minutes limited by foul trouble. But Michael still liked the way he played when he was in. “Greg Dolan did a really nice job,” Michael said. “When he was in there, he was beating their pressure, getting some really great shots, and he did a really nice job as well.” Other key players included Sam Castronova, who had 21 points, one assist, and seven rebounds, and Matt Foster, who had 11 points and seven rebounds. “Sam Castronova played great for us,” Michael said of the senior, who led the Billies with 117 points through seven games at press time. “He had to play more point guard than he normally does because our starting point guard was in foul trouble all game, and he handled that very well.”
Above anything else, Michael wanted to focus on the positives from Saturday’s game. He saw the things that his team struggled with and how some of it was out of the Billies’ control. He also saw how they stepped up and did their best in spite of the circumstances. “We didn’t get enough rebounds, and that was tough for us to overcome,” Michael said. “They’re a strong, physical team. But I thought a lot of guys stepped in, played good minutes, and as a team I thought we handled the pressure very well.” The biggest disappointment was the fact that S o u t h h a s n ’t w o n t h e tournament, which it hosts annually, in three years. “We haven’t won that tournament in three years so it’d be nice to win it,” Michael said. “But at the same time, we watched the film and we’ll improve from there.” Saturday’s loss dropped South’s overall record this season to 6-1. The team improved to 7-1 with a win over Iroquois on Jan. 6 and was scheduled to play Williamsville East on Jan. 8 and Sweet Home on Jan. 13.

Stallions slowed in Ontario tourney, Gawron records shutout The Mite Major Clarence Stallions played in the Golden Horseshoe Tournament in Burlington, Ontario, from Dec. 27-29. The Stallions played four talented Ontario teams, initially facing the
Vaughan Rangers. In this matchup, Stallions’ player Luke Marchant stole the puck in the neutral zone, went in on a breakaway, and scored. However, Vaughan pre-
vailed, 3-1. Stallions’ goaltender Josh Gawron made many saves to keep his team in the contest for the duration. The Stallions subsequently lost games to the Brampton 45s, Port Credit
Storm, and Oshawa Minor Generals. ••• Gawron recorded another shutout as Stallions blanked the Lakeview Hawks, 1-0 on Jan. 5. Cameron Stadelmaier
scored the game’s lone goal, assisted by Evan Becigneul and Marchant. The one-goal game got even tighter toward the end of the third period as Clarence defensemen took two penalties in
succession and Hamburg pulled its goalie for a 6-on-3 skater advantage, but Marchant took possession of the puck with 10 seconds left and iced it to finish the win for Clarence.

Local sports Amherst girls basketball remains UB grad Knox unbeaten with blowout win over Maryvale signs with the
By Melissa Brawdy SPORTS REPORTER
The Amherst girls basketball team continued its undefeated season with a win over Maryvale Tuesday night (Jan. 6). The game was mostly a comfortable one for the Lady Tigers, ending in a 60-31 win. Amherst took an early lead, scoring 22 unanswered points to start the game. Maryvale finally broke the shutout near the end of the first quarter, and the Lady Tigers took a 22-2 lead into the second quarter. The second quarter wasn’t
as dominant for Amherst. Maryvale came out strong this time and cut Amherst’s lead to 22-10 before the Lady Tigers scored another point. Amherst coach Mike Chatelle liked the strong start his Lady Tigers had, and though they had a weaker second quarter both offensively and defensively, a good team talk at halftime set the girls straight. “It was important for us to get off to a good start,” Chatelle said. “We got off to a good start, I think we got off to a 22-0 run, and then we got kind of stagnant. At halftime we talked about coming and really playing hard and finishing strong and finishing them off if we had the chance to. Luckily we did.” The Lady Tigers took a
27-11 lead into halftime. By the end of the third quarter, they’d stretched the advantage to 49-21. And in the fourth quarter, they did indeed finish off Maryvale with 11 more points for the final score of 60-31. Chatelle saw a few improvements in his team’s play that helped them in the second half. “We started to create some baskets,” he said. “We got some in transition. We took the ball to the basket more.” Holly Sullivan came into the game second on the team in points with 77 and added 15 more to her total. Nine of those points came in the first quarter as part of Amherst’s 22-0 start. “Holly came out shooting well,” Chatelle said. Claire Wanzer had 20
points in Tuesday’s game. She leads the Lady Tigers with 98 points on the season as of Tuesday. “I think that we played well,” Wanzer said after the game. “I think that we played better in the second half than the first half. We can always clean things up, and we all have to keep working at it and need to have less turnovers.” Alex Allard had seven points and was also key to the win, which improved Amherst’s record to 5-0 on the season. In the fourth quarter, Chatelle rested his starters, giving Kasia Fisher a chance to contribute a few points as well. Amherst was scheduled to face Cheektowaga Thursday night (Jan. 8) and will take on Springville Jan. 12 at home
Buffalo Bills
PAUL HOKANSON/UB ATHLETICS
Corey Knox, a 2012 UB graduate, signed a reserves/future contract with the Buffalo Bills on Dec. 30. Knox, 25, is a fullback who played just one year of college football.
Not worried about stats, Wanzer wants to will Tigers to wins game, a 60-31 win over Maryvale, Wanzer’s 98 points led Amherst, and 20 of those came against the Lady Flyers. Wanzer has been playing basketball since third grade and began playing competitively in By Melissa Brawdy sixth grade. It was then that she SPORTS REPORTER started playing Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) basketball. Wanzer credits the coaches ClaireWanzer has one simple she’s had over the years, the goal this season: win. The training she works hard at, and 5-foot-8 sophomore is a captain her teammates this year for her on the Amherst Lady Tigers’ success. varsity basketball team, and she “I like my team a lot,” Wandoes her job well. zer said. After Tuesday’s (Jan. 6) Wanzer’s focus is on her
team and its success. The team’s success is far more important than any individual success for her. When asked how she feels about her success so far this season, her thoughts immediately went to the team, which boasts a 5-0 record as of Tuesday. Those wins are of course in large part thanks to Wanzer’s offensive contributions. “I’m really proud of what we can do,” she said, her excitement evident. But she didn’t stop there. “I really want us to do more and go further though and keep working and keep improving.”
Wanzer’s desire to keep improving should set an example for her teammates. Although Tuesday’s win was a solid one, there were spurts of weaker play by most of the team. Wanzer saw that and immediately after the game discussed the improvements that need to be made. Although she was excited about the win, she wasn’t satisfied. “We can always clean things up, and we all have to keep working at it,” Wanzer said. Wanzer has that same outlook for the season as a whole and from year to year.
“Last year we lost in the playoffs, in the semifinals right before the championship game,” she explained. “I would really like us to just keep working and hopefully get back to the semifinals and maybe even the championship.” Of course, doing that will require hard work, along with winning every game possible. “[We need to] keep playing hard and win in our division and get lots of points,” Wanzer said. And Wanzer hopes to continue to contribute to those wins in any way she can. Going into Tuesday’s game, she also led
the team in assists with 12 and steals with 14. But the statistics don’t really matter to Wanzer. She isn’t afraid to let her teammates shine, either, as shown by her assists stat and the fact that in the team’s biggest win of the year, a 67-10 win over Health Science, Wanzer had just 10 points. Holly Sullivan led with 25 points in that game. Wanzer led in assists with five. As far as individual goals go, Wanzer has just one simple goal this season. “Help my team win,”Wanzer said with a smile.

Simple safety tips
(NAPSI)—Millions of Americans enjoy the unmatched comfort of propane-powered appliances for space heating, water heating, cooking and clothes drying. To help them stay safe and comfortable in cold weather, the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) offers some advice. “Safety is extremely important to the propane industry,” PERC President and CEO Roy Willis says. “We’ve compiled a checklist that homeowners can follow to put them at ease.” • Make sure you have an adequate propane supply. Call for a delivery when your propane tank is 30 percent full. Doing so gives your propane provider time to reach you when roads are bad or demand for propane is high. • Mark your propane
tank. Use a flag, pole or stake higher than the average snow cover depth. The marker will help you avoid plowing into or shoveling snow on top of your tank in case of a heavy snowfall. • Consider installing UL-listed propane gas detectors and carbon monoxide detectors for additional security. Always follow the manufacturer instructions for installation, location and maintenance. • Create an emergency preparedness plan. Frequently review the plan with all household members and make sure to post the phone numbers for your propane provider and local emergency services in an accessible place. • Prepare a disaster supply kit. It’s important to be prepared in the case of an emergency by creating a kit with several days’
worth of water and canned foods, a can opener, extra clothes and blankets, flashlights and batteries. Include a battery-powered NOAA weather radio to stay informed as conditions change. • Consider having a propane-powered generator installed. When other power sources fail, a propane-powered generator can keep your home operating without interruption. According to Willis, another step that propane customers should take is to build a strong relationship with their local propane provider. “Weather is unpredictable,” Willis says. “Your propane provider can help you put together a plan to make sure that you have the energy you and your family need when you need it.”

(NAPSI)—Many homeowners overlook one of the most important things to prepare for when the holiday season rolls around—winter storms. Experts believe homeowners are unprepared for winter storms, putting their families and their home in danger. So while you’re decking the halls for the season, make sure you take the following into consideration and ensure your home is both merry and safe. Major Dangers Associated with Winter Storms Homeowners can face major dangers when winter weather rolls around, including damage from the weight of ice, snow and sleet. In the case of major snowstorms, families can even be trapped in their homes due to blocked or frozen entryways. Cracked or burst water pipes connected to anything from steam and hot water heating to a fire-protection system can be extremely costly. Even after the storm, melting

snow can cause major flooding. Tips to Winterize and Protect Your Home Though the list of winter weather dangers runs long, there are 10 easy steps that can ease or prevent these issues, all while creating a safer home environment during emergencies. 1. Install weather stripping. 2. Have your furnace/heating system serviced at the beginning of each season to ensure it runs properly, and have the filters changed. 3. Move furniture away from vents. 4. Add rock salt and sand to emergency kits to help melt ice on walkways. 5. Install roof-heating cables to prevent ice dams on roofs and gutters. 6. Insulate pipes. 7. Place a cover over attic stairs. 8. Insulate outlets with gasket covers. 9. Invest in an automatic
home standby generator, such as those from Generac, that automatically provides power for heat and electricity when there is a power outage. They turn on as soon as the power goes out and stay on until utility power is restored. 10. If you have extra money in your budget, go for attic insulation, which can save as much as 30 percent on heating costs. As a leader in power equipment serving residential, light commercial, industrial and construction markets, Generac’s products are available through a broad network of independent dealers, retailers, wholesalers and equipment rental companies. Basic winterizing for a home can be done for less than $200, but by investing in installations like attic insulation and a Generac home standby generator, you get the best level of protection from winter storms.

cause of the sun’s lower angle in winter, the risk of UVA exposure indoors may even be greater, according to Darrell Smith, executive director of the nonprofit International Window Film Association (IWFA). With unrestricted access to your home’s interior, the winter sun’s in-line position with windows can literally make a home’s furniture, drapes and artwork a faded memory. Fortunately, window film may help protect you and your furnishings year-round. All quality window films block 95 to 99 percent of the sun’s UVA rays. You can learn more at www.iwfa.com and view a video about window film there or at WindowFilmIWFA YouTube.
