From Scratch
Winter is a time for deep reflection, warm comfort food, and, apparently, bird slapstick. The moment the snow starts falling, I go full hermit mode. You’ll find me cozied up in my flannel jammies, stationed by the fireplace, sipping something warm, and watching birds hurl themselves into my front door window like tiny, feathery torpedoes of poor decision-making. And I can’t help but wonder—do they feel embarrassed? Do they scan the sky, hoping sweet birdie Ethel didn’t see? Is there a bird named Jerry up there, already gathering material for the next bird roast? These are the things I contemplate while avoiding all forms of socialization.
Say “Yes” to the Dress Event to help with prom
A Say “Yes” to the Dress Event will be held on March 15 at the Corning High School auditorium. The event is hosted by Corning School District T.H.R.I.V.E.S. (Teaching hope, resilience, inclusion, values and empathy for every student). They will be accepting donations of dresses, sports jackets, shoes, jewelry and more. The drop-off locations are Young’s Auctions and Resale or the Corning High School office. The goal of the event is to provide a fun, free event to high school students for prom. Community involvement is so important in the success of the school district.
