Change your Clocks and smoke alarm batteries

When it’s time to "spring forward" and change the clocks on Sunday, March 13, make sure to also change the batteries in all of your smoke alarms if you have not yet done so this year - it could save your life! Did you know that having a working smoke alarm reduces a person's chance of dying in a fire by half? For the best protection, install smoke alarms on every level of your home, outside every sleeping area, and in every bedroom. Smoke alarms should be mounted high on walls or ceilings, and tested monthly.It's important to replace smoke alarm batteries at least once a year. If you have long life smoke alarms, it is still important to check them monthly and make sure to replace them when they start to chirp. Even if your smoke alarms are hardwired, replace the batteries in case of a power outage.

What It Was Like To Have Autism as a Young Child

Monday March 14
6:00-8:00 at the Walton High School

Presented by Polly Emmons, MS Ed, and Dylan Emmons, student at Ithaca College and person with Asperger’s Syndrome


Polly Emmons has an MS Ed in Elementary Education with certification in both general and special education, currently a secondary special education teacher and mother of a child with Asperger’s Syndrome, and co-author of the book “Understanding Sensory Dysfunction” (Jessica Kingsley, 2005). Her son, Dylan, is a writing major at Ithaca College. Dylan hopes to educate and inform others of his life experiences and perspective of one living with an Autism Spectrum Disorder. Dylan is now capable of articulating many of the social/sensory frustrations he experienced as a child. He and his mother will talk about specific challenges and obstacles that were presented and how these challenges and their “solutions” affected Dylan, then and now. This presentation will resonate with anyone who is parenting or has parented a child with Asperger’s Syndrome.
