People are taking longer to grow up and much, much longer to grow old. And the emergence of this extra life cries out for new models and myths and mentors. It is an opportunity for postal workers to remind dog owners about basic ways to control their pets. Owners should restrain their pets, make sure that fences are secure and that locks are in place. Last year, almost 3,000 carriers were bitten on the job.
Carriers also ask that residents check in and around their mailboxes for bees.
Bees tend to build nests in those areas and can injure delivery people. The gallery will showcase the world's most comprehensive collection of Carder glass and is opening in conjunction with the museum's 50th anniversary celebration. Holding more than 2,000 pieces designed by Carder, the gallery will feature objects from every stage of his long career, including some of his most innovative pieces. Most of the Carder glass collection comes from the Rockwell Museum of Western Art as a long-term loan. Applications are available at the high schools, CCC's Office of Institutional Advancement and from the Steuben-Allegany Board of Cooperative Educational Services.
