Thompson Grant Applications Due April 15

     democratandchronicle.comOn Monday, April 8, the Finger Lakes will be in the path of totality of the total solar eclipse. Shortly after 2 p.m., the moon will begin to appear to move in front of the sun. The rural setting of the Finger Lakes will be ideal for viewing the eclipse. The weather at that time of year can be quite variable, and visitors could encounter anything from vivid blue skies, clouds, and even ― dare I say it? — snow. Check out these wineries for a special solar eclipse view:

    Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences

    On Sunday, March 10, we have the opportunity to enjoy the awards ceremony commonly called The Oscars.  It is the formal presentation of Awards of Merit presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS).  They have been presented since 1929.  The winners get a gold trophy, a statuette. Read More.

    Hate Broccoli?

    Looking at vegetables, probably the greatest differences in love or avoidance are broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, and kale.  These are all cruciferous vegetables from the family of Brassica that have a large, flowering head, usually on a stalk, and small leaves. Read more.

    Strawberry Cocktails and Mocktails

    Strawberries are one of those fruits that make us feel special.  Like chocolate covered strawberries at parties or on Valentine’s Day.  They also contain Vitamin C, which has been shown to help support the human immune system.  Some authorities also feel it can help with inflammation and can help combat other conditions like high cholesterol.  At their best, they are sweet and tasty. Read More.
