Annual Taste of Livingston County Benefits Traffic Safety
Education Program
June Webster, Traffic Safety Education Program Coordinator
The 12th Annual Taste of Livingston County was held on April 13th at the Genesee River Restaurant. Restaurants from
around the county created heart healthy dishes for guests to sample. Two of CCE’s Traffic Safety Education Programs
were selected to receive the proceeds from the event: the Car-Fit Program and Teen Driving Campaign.
Car-Fit is an educational program created by the American Society on Aging and developed in collaboration with AAA,
AARP, and the American Occupational Therapy Association. It offers older
adults the opportunity to check how well their personal vehicles “fit” them.
The program provides information on community-specific resources that
could enhance their safety as drivers, and/or increase their mobility in the
community.
The Teen Driving Campaign educates teens on the dangers of distractions
while driving and the importance of wearing seatbelts.
Participating restaurants in the Taste of Livingston County included:
Applebee’s; Big Tree Inn; Beachcomber;
Brian’s USA Diner; Cozy Kitchen;
Genesee River Restaurant; Leisure’s Restaurant; Livonia Inn; My Place for All O-Cake-
Tions; North Shore Grill; Omega Grill; Partyman’s Catering; Vasile’s Catering;
Wegmans; and Yard of Ale Canal House Inn.
Entertainment was provided by the Geneseo String Band.
Many businesses also donated their time, effort, and
products to this event, including: Hilltop Industries;
Davids-Boston’s Best Coffee Roasters; Genesee Valley
Coffee Company; C&R Foods; Livingston County Planning
Department; Pat’s Petals; Dogwood Floral; Mt. Morris

collaboration with the Livingston County Traffic Safety Board, partial funding by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Livingston County and by
donations.”
The “Dansville After-School Program Kid’s Carnival”, held on March 17th at the Dansville

Dansville After-School
Program Coordinator The smell of popcorn, the sounds of
calypso music, the roar of laughter,
and the jeering of “carny” workers tempting hopefuls to “step right
up and give this a try” all permeated the atmosphere. Through the efforts of many, the children had a great time!
The after-school staff went above and beyond to pull this off for the children. “We often get very positive comments
on our after-school programs, and I always tell people it’s because of the amazing staff we have working with us,”
commented Shawn Harnish - program coordinator. Sarah Aprile, one of the site supervisors, came up with the concept and
led the efforts to make the carnival a reality.
This event is sure to become a yearly tradition. The following
community members and organizations helped make it a spectacular
event: Lori Colella, Chris Ash, Julie Harnish, Main Tire, Dansville
Foursquare Church, Star Theatre, and the many parents who all gave
generous donations.
In late March, Livingston County 4-H members met with the Master Gardeners and
Starting Seeds learned how to start vegetable and flower seeds indoors. It was a beautiful evening
outside, with approximately a half dozen 4-H members planting fabulous things inside.
with Master Some of the vegetable seeds that the 4-Hers chose to plant
included: tomato, cauliflower, cabbage, and broccoli. They
Gardeners also planted flower seeds that included zinnias, marigolds
David Thorp and cosmos.
Senior Agriculture Educator
The 4-H members dug right in, filling their cells with a steril-
ized seed-starting medium. After careful analysis of the seed
packet instructions (noting especially the seed planting depth), seeds were placed in each cell
and covered with soil accordingly. Markers, to identify the plants, were created and placed in
the appropriate cells.
Knowing that seeds need water to germinate, the 4-H members used a plant mister to apply
water to the tiny seeds.
It was concluded that the hardest part was yet to come - waiting for the seeds to germinate.
Many seeds germinate best in warm soil. The Master Gardeners suggested that the newly
planted seeds be placed on top of the refrigerator. Once the seeds sprout, the containers
should be moved to a place that provides adequate light. In our area, it is best to suspend fluo-
rescent lights just an inch or two over the tops of the plants.
What will the 4-H members do with all their transplants? Some reported they would plant them in their vegetable gar-
dens, while others made plans to plant in containers and enter their project in the County Fair. The 4-H members, along
with the Master Gardeners, proved that starting vegetable and flower seeds indoors is easy and fun.
Separations and/or divorces result in a large number of changes within the family
ranging from emotional stress (related to changes in the family relationships) to
economic stress (related to the decline of the family’s standard of living). In most

The program is facilitated by an educator (Donna Horton), a Licensed Master of Social Issues Leader
Work (June Webster), and a lawyer. We have just
recently added a third person to our team. James Campbell will be volunteering as
our resident lawyer. James will add a whole new dimension to our classes and will
be able to answer those legal questions which June nor I could answer.
At this point our classes have been small, but we are ready to begin expansion. If
you have questions or think you might want to sign up for one of the classes, please
feel free to call 585-658-3250 and ask for Donna Horton.
Students from the Mt. Morris After-School Program engaged in a Nutrition Peer
Education Project that was designed to inform students of the purpose of healthy eating.
The Nutrition Peer Educators were fifth and sixth grade students who were interested in
Nutrition
becoming leaders in their school community and delivering Peer-Education
the nutrition lessons. As the Nutrition Resource Educator,
I taught the peer educators a series of six lessons and then at Mt. Morris
would support the peer educators as they taught the lesson
to students in fifth grade classrooms. Each team of nutrition School
peer educators was assigned one classroom of approximately Joy Hagerman
twenty students. It was very rewarding for me to watch the Nutrition Resource Educator
peer educators gain confidence in themselves, retain nutrition
knowledge, and look forward to the next week in order to improve their delivery.
The curriculum we used was “Food is Elementary: A Hands-on Curriculum for Young
Students” developed by Antonia Demes, PhD. The lessons focused on each section of the
USDA MyPyramid. The peer educators’ favorite lesson was on identifying the difference between foods with high-fat,
low-fat, and no fat. The peer educators used heavy cream, 2% milk, and fat-free milk to demonstrate this concept. Each
classroom student immersed their fingers which simulated their “arteries” in the liquid. The amount of liquid stuck to their
fingers represented the fat left behind on the artery wall because of the fat content in the food. The classroom students
were able to make the connection between eating high-fat foods and the residue left behind. The peer educators also
covered lessons on the benefit of fruit, vegetables, grains, and healthy proteins in daily eating. The classroom students
tasted a variety of fruits and vegetables and discussed with the peer educators different ways they could prepare them at
home.
Each lesson began with a physical activity, because it was important for the peer educators to show the classroom students
that when we talk about overall fitness, it is a combination of efforts in healthy eating and exercise. The peer educators
would lead the students in a series of jumping jacks, jumping rope, and running in place. The classroom students caught
on to the structure of the lessons and looked forward to their physical activity. Each lesson ended with a discussion
of what the students would tell their families about the nutrition lesson. The hope of this project is that the classroom
students will begin to be the “change agents” within their families, schools, and communities.

the survey.
The survey is designed to evaluate whether a community is “pedestrian-friendly” and
recommend actions for improvements. These surveys
are part of a statewide initiative to advance complete
street legislation. The survey included observation of
crossing signals, traffic lights, turning lanes, curb cuts,
sidewalks, crosswalk lines, vehicle stop lines, and
signage.
The Village of Mount Morris stands out as an excep-
tionally walkable community. Overall, Mount Morris
received a rating of excellent for physical construction with minor needs for improvement:
increasing the timing of pedestrian signals, crosswalk remarking, and a few sidewalk tran-
sitions needing minor work.
“Gorgeous open space at the intersections,” commented AARP Associate State Director,
Bill Armbruster. The human component received a good overall rating. Areas with room
for improvement included education and enforcement for drivers failing to stop before the
crosswalks, stop lines, yielding to pedestrians, and decreasing vehicle speed.
As Mayor Long stated, “It’s about education… some people still don’t realize the pedestrian has the right of way.”
The program “Helmet Heroes!” which reinforces the appropriate use of helmets and behav-
ior of children involved in wheeled sports began May 1st and will continue through August Helmet
31st. During that time, various local law enforcement agencies across the county will be on
the look out for children wearing helmets and following safety rules. Heroes:
