ENJOY ENHANCED TRAILS AT AUDUBON
FOSTER PARENTS NEEDED IN CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY
Jamestown, N.Y. - Audubon Community Nature Center (ACNC) has long been a popular spot to get outdoors and enjoy nature. The addition of new trail signs promises to enhance the experience even more. Thanks to a Cummins Community Development Grant, Audubon has five new signs for your learning as you walk the trails. Three signs relate to ACNC’s deer exclosures – areas fenced to keep deer out – and show how much impact deer browse has on the understory of our forests. Another is about the ponds and the impact/threat that Water Chestnut, an aquatic invasive species, has had on ACNC’s property, and one is about the Hemlock Forest that was partially treated with a preventative spray to protect it from the invasive insect Hemlock Wooly Adelgid. Additional signs were purchased and installed around the new wildlife habitat to introduce visitors to Audubon’s newest animal ambassador, an American Kestrel now on display named Cricket. In 2020, Cummins funded Spatterdock Bridge repairs and an Adirondack shelter on the yellow trail. Their funding in 2021 provided materials for the new wildlife habitat structure. Audubon has six miles of trails. The four marked and named ones range in length from Overlook’s .6 mile to Big Pond’s two miles. Spatterdock and Backwoods Trails are each about one mile. The trails provide many opportunities to view wildlife, including a wide variety of birds, mammals, turtles, and insects. Dragonflies, Damselflies, and Butterflies are especially prolific this time of year.

If you enjoy working with children and want to help families in our community, consider attending one of these events. Attendees will learn about various foster care and adoption programs and meet our Home Finding Team. Events are free and open to the public. Preregistration is required. Foster Care services in Chautauqua County provide out-of-home care for children in the custody of the Commissioner of Social Services. Foster care plays an important role in providing temporary, safe and nurturing homes to children when their parents are unable to care for them. Children are placed in foster homes in situations where they have been removed from their
own families because they have been abused and/or neglected or because other family problems exist that endanger their safety. The children may range from infancy through 18 years of age and may have special medical, physical or emotional needs; the children may belong to any ethnicity or race and be part of a group of brothers and sisters who need to remain together.
“In Chautauqua County, there are approximately 100 children currently in foster care,” said Leanna Luka-Conley, Deputy Commissioner of Children and Family Services. “Becoming a foster parent is a rewarding and challenging opportunity to change someone’s life. Children of all ages in our own communities are in need of ‘professional parents’ to give them a good, temporary home and a chance to succeed in life.”
If you are interested in more information regarding the programs and would like to register for one of these virtual events or have questions about becoming a foster parent, please contact Sara Johnson by calling 716-661-8043 or email johnsons@chqgov. com.

Brian is a lonely inventor in rural Wales who spends his days building unconventional contraptions that seldom work. Undeterred by his lack of ,success, Brian attempts .his biggest project yet.

unexpected heart-warmers of the summer.” Deborah Ross, in The Spectator, calls it “a goofy non-taxing delight … and do stay for the credits. They’re a hoot.” Mark Kermode in the Observer (UK), says the film “has homemade charm to spare, proving delightfully ridiculous but also poignant.” James Berardinelli, on ReelViews, says “it’s hard not to enjoy something like ‘Brian and Charles,’ where the core themes are ones of friendship and learning to live with one another’s foibles.” Rated PG for language, smoking and mild violence, “Brian and Charles” runs one hour, 19 minutes.
Tickets are available at the door and the night of each screening. A book of 10 movie passes is available at the door or online at www.fredopera.org.

Don’t Go Bacon My Heart The Snack Bar opens program. BY LINDSEY CRISANTI, at 7:00am each morning 4-H LEAD EDUCATOR The 4-H Snack Bar at The Chautauqua County Fair is the place you want to go for good food and good service at a good price, with all proceeds going to a great cause! Long time fair goers know the best place to get a great meal at the fair is at the 4-H Snack Bar, while also being able to get out of the sun with picnic tables located in the shade. The 4-H Snack Bar is located behind the Conservation Building. This year when you decide to come to the snack bar, you will notice that the inside looks a lot newer! The snack bar got a makeover this year thanks to our good friends and lifelong supporters of 4-H, Dan and Louis Smith, of Daniel D Smith Construction in Silver Creek, NY.
of fair with a full fare of breakfast menu items and smiling 4-H faces to greet you! Lunch and dinner have delicious items as well as the famous 4-H Milkshakes. The Snack Bar stocks its inventory from local vendors who help support 4-H.
The real benefit of the 4-H Snack Bar is the benefit it is for the 4-H’ers. Youth from 8-19 not only serve the public, but they also gain valuable experience in the food service and customer service areas. All animal project areas enjoy a friendly barn challenge every year to see who “works” the greatest number of hours in the Snack Bar, and 4-H clubs are encouraged to help too! The 4-H youths benefit from this as well since it is a fundraising effort for the whole 4-H
So, when you head down to the County Fair, come to the Snack Bar! The 4-H Youth Development Program is one of many programs offered by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County (CCE-Chautauqua). CCE-Chautauqua is a community based educational organization, affiliated with Cornell University, Chautauqua County Government, the NYS SUNY system, and the federal government through the United States Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture. For more information, call 716-664-9502 or visit our website at www.cce. cornell.edu/chautauqua. Cornell University Cooperative Extension provides equal program and employment opportunities.
