The Mia Foundation

The Mia Foundation takes in dozens of animals born with deformities with the goal of giving them a chance at a life. 

 

Wishbone has his own tips and tricks for getting around in the snow which work just fine if you have four paws…and someone to shovel for you.  For those “less fortunate” he sought advice from The Snow & Ice Management Association in regard to tips for walking in ice and snow.

Wear proper footwear. Wear shoes with heavy treading and a flat bottom that place the entire foot on the surface of the ground.
Wear things that help you see and be seen. Wear sunglasses so you can see. Also, bright and reflect clothing help you be seen by drivers.
Plan ahead. Walk consciously on icy sidewalks and parking lots. Look up to see where the next icy spots are and be aware of any vehicles near you.
Listen. Avoid listening to music or talking on the phone while walking in icy or snowy conditions. Pedestrians need to be able to hear approaching traffic or other noises.
Anticipate ice. What appears to be wet pavement may be black ice, so approach it with caution. Ice will often appear in the mornings, so be more aware in the early hours.
Take steps slowly. When walking down steps, take them slowly and deliberately. Plant your feet securely on each step and be sure to have a firm grip on the handrail.
Enter buildings slowly. The floors of buildings may be covered in melted snow and ice, so check the entrance and try to step on any rugs in the doorways.
Avoid shortcuts. A shortcut path may be dangerous because it is less likely that snow and ice removal occurred.
Look up. Be aware of what you’re walking under. Falling snow and ice can cause injuries.

Bizarre!  Really Bizarre!

Wang Tzi-wei, a restaurant chain owner, is the owner of a chain of twelve theme based restaurants in Taiwan. Nothing bizarre about that right?  Hold on...they are called Modern Toilet and the patrons sit on toilets, sip soup from sinks, and wipe their mouths with toilet paper.  

Don't believe it?  Here's what is really hard to believe...the reviews on Trip Advisor weren't all that bad!

The History of Brodner Equipment Inc. 

2010 marked the 50th anniversary of Brodner Equipment. Mike Brodner and Leo Baum, behind Brodner's Hardware in North Chili, originally started the business in the late 1950's. At this time, gasoline powered lawnmowers were just becoming popular.

In the early 60's, the hardware store was sold and Mike opened "Mike Brodner's Korner." This was a family operated grocery store and butcher shop located at the corner of Buffalo and Coldwater Road. At the time, Mike's son-in-law Leo Baum started Brodner Mower. This Business relocated to its present location at Lyell and Elmgrove Road in 1966.

In 1974, Tim Baum, Leo's son, took over ownership of Brodner Mower. It continues to carry his grandfather's name as Brodner Equipment Inc. The business has grown to 12 full-time and 4 part-time employees.

Although small from the front, Brodner Equipment is the largest Honda Power Equipment and Exmark Commercial Mowing Equipment dealer in New York State. It is also the oldest and largest Arctic Cat dealer in western New York.

For over 55 years Brodner Equipment Inc. continues to deliver quality products with excellent customer service.

Ingredients:

3 ½ cups of peeled, diced potatoes

1/3 cup finely chopped onion

1/3 cup diced celery

3/4 cup diced cooked ham

3 ¼ cup chicken broth

½ tsp salt

1 tsp ground pepper

5 tbsp butter

5 tbsp flour

2 cups milk

Directions

  1. Combine potatoes, celery, onion, ham and broth in a stockpot. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add in the salt and pepper. Stir.                           
  2. In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour with a fork, and cook, stirring until thick, about 1 minute. Stir in milk slowly so as not to allow lumps to form until all of the milk has been added. Continue stirring over medium-low heat 4 to 5 minutes until thick.
  3. Pour the milk mixture into the stockpot, stir well and cook soup until heated through. Serve immediately.

 


WILDLIFE CROSSING  X  WHAT TO DO IF AN ANIMAL RUNS OUT IN FRONT OF YOU

In rural areas, wild animals can be a serious traffic problem!                                                                                         Here are 5 tips to remember if an animal runs out in front of your vehicle:

1)  Scan the road and shoulders ahead of you

2)  Use high beam headlights if there is no oncoming traffic

3)  Be extra aware at dawn and dusk

4)  If a collision is unavoidable, apply brakes firmly and remain in your lane

5)  ALWAYS wear a seat belt, remain awake, alert and sober.
