They were working on their Biography Wax Museum Project with each student choosing a fa-mous historical character to represent. Zayli had chosen Pocahontas because she re-membered seeing a movie about her, while Camden chose a character about whom he already knew a lot, Walt Disney.

(Port Allegany, PA – The Pennsylva-nia Department of Transportation an-nounces that work to replace a Route 6 bridge in Port Allegany began Mon-day, April 13. The 49-foot bridge spans Lillibridge Creek at the east end of the borough near the Gulf gas station. It was originally built in 1944 and carries an average of more than 7,600 vehicles daily. Replacing the bridge will allow PennDOT to remove it from McKean County’s structurally defi cient list. Construction activity will begin with sewer line work. Drivers should be alert for the possibility of fl aggers being on Route 6 within the work area. If fl ag-ging is necessary, an alternating traffi c pattern will be in effect. In late April or early May, a temporary bridge will be in place to carry traffi c around the work zone. PennDOT will issue a project update prior to the im-plementation of the temporary bridge. Overall work includes removal of the old bridge, placement of a new con-crete box beam bridge, paving, utility

relocation, guide rail updates, and mis-cellaneous items. The new bridge is ex-pected to open before Thanksgiving. The Dolomite Group/A.L. Blades & Sons, Inc. of Hornell, New York is the contractor for this $2.5 million job. PennDOT reminds drivers to use cau-tion in and around all work zones, obey posted speed limits and always buckle up. Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffi c delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffi c speed infor-mation and access to more than 770 traffi c cameras. 511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional Twitter alerts ac-cessible on the 511PA website.

“Cow Pasture Pool”-by Bob Perry

Spring is here, its April, and with the built-up cabin fever the urge to play a little ‘cow pasture pool’ is all over the place. Growing up, the reference of playing ‘cow pasture pool’ was mentioned a lot from summer thru fall as it was viewed as a waste of time and intended for the rich as they had all available leisure time to be had. A cow pasture is defi ned as a fi eld covered with grass suitable for grazing. The ‘pool’ is of course a reference to the gentleman’s game of golf. Fooling around a bunch of us boys made up some rules that should apply to this game of leisure. Only two clubs can be used for all striking of the ball (one driver; one iron), (two balls were al-lowed). Lose both balls and you are out of contention. There was to be no out-of-bounds even though there was a defi ned border (the fence) that could be used. The holes were used tractor tires (the smaller front tires only) and you had to chip the ball into the center of the tire. Speaking of chips, there are the cow chips and these hazards were usu-ally all over the place. Note that there was no relief to be had from any hazard and if your ball ever came to rest on a ‘chip’ one better hope it was a dry one. ’Splat’ was the sound as the club sliced through a ‘wet one’. No trying to hit any of the cows and

be sure you can tell the difference be-tween a cow and a bull ‘cause you might become a target with no shelter in sight! The sights can be full of color as the fi elds can be full of dandelions; some in full bloom and others going to seed making it diffi cult to fi nd your ball. Be sure to look as well to see if you ever see a cow slip under the fence! A cowslip is a wild plant that has small yellow fl owers that have a sweet smell. Note they are frequently found surviv-ing under fences. Have a chuckle and watch the following video offering a ‘real pasture’ you can play for only $5 on the honor system: https://www.you-tube.com/watch?v=UenilW8YDVc Being a bit more serious, The Masters Golf Championship is being played this weekend at the Augusta National Golf Club and it is a far cry from the club dis-played in the video. It is most enjoyable to just view the extraordinary landscap-ing that is breathtaking. Watching the players meet the challenges the course presents them is most entertaining and by winning the tournament a player gets a paycheck worth over a million dollars and the advertisement opportu-nities that exceed the paycheck. Hope you all got the chance to watch some of this tournament.Take the chance, get out and play a little golf; even if it is put-put golf.

Photos for this edition were gleaned from a visit to GGB Elementary School, April 13th. Second grade students from Mrs. Grady’s and Mrs. Zimbardi’s classes were in the hallway working on the “Biog-raphy Wax Museum Project.” Each student we photographed had chosen a famous person and was drawing a descriptive and colorful poster elucidating their life and image……In addition, we stopped at Mrs. Tilford’s room to see what her Pre-K students were up to. Our readers might recall that about six weeks ago we captured Mrs. Tilford’s students drawing a bird’s- eye view of a snowman in Mrs. Coles’ art room at the school. In this way, they were learning to grasp the idea of being outside of themselves or being like another animal and seeing like a fl ying bird. And they all seemed happy, comfort-able, and enjoying what they were doing. This week they were working on math and arithmetic principles, which is a very dif-ferent type of subject, and once again the little tykes seemed to be very happy with the subject matter at hand, even though the presentation of the material, and its end use was much different. The math period began with joint classroom participation at the smart-board and was followed by working in small groups at workstations throughout their classroom renamed as the “Math Café”. These stations were vari-ously named as Math Writing, Math By Myself, Math Technology, and a Teach-er’s Time station……..Our readers can begin to look for information about the upcoming 9th Annual Barstool Open. This Relay For Life, fundraising event lets people of the area enjoy a great time socializing with their friends while work-ing for a good cause. It is scheduled for Saturday, April 25th and will involve putt-putt stations in nineteen local pubs and clubs…….This year, the East Bradford Business Association has joined up with Bradford’s VFW Post#212 and their La-dies Auxiliary to help develop and pro-mote the East Bradford StinkFest 2015 event. All proceeds are earmarked for helping needy local vets with medicine, clothing food, shelter and transportation. This year’s event is scheduled for Satur-day, May 2nd 2015……..Regardless of what is happening locally, information from Gas Buddy, as seen on page 14 of this issue predicts prices per gallon to drop as we approach summer. There will continue to be a glut of gasoline. It is unfortunate that we, and all those in the corridor between Bradford and Pittsburgh must continually pay $.20 to $.30 more per gallon than other places in the nation. A good public transportation system, in-cluding a well run taxi service, would do a lot to add some downward pressure on gasoline prices in rural areas where a few men can so easily control the prices.

Bradford Journal PhotoSome of Mrs. Tilford’s Pre-K children at GGB Elementary School were working dur-ing the Math Café period at a Math By Myself table, April 13th, during our visit to the classroom. From the left, clockwise around are Lennox Johnson, Alexis Kicior, and Jaxin Jones. This is the station where the children apply numbers to objects.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESCrowdfunding And Taxes: What You Should Know

-by Jason Alderman Crowdfunding – the online method of raising money from people around the world – is less than a decade old, allow-ing artists, activists and a growing number of entrepreneurs to connect with fi nancial support far outside the conventional lend-ing system. Here’s how crowdfunding works. Through sites like Kickstarter, Indiegogo or RocketHub, campaigners seeking fund-ing create a pitch that educates potential funders – or “backers,” as they’re often called – on their project. Campaigns share their funding goal and the various rewards backers will receive for taking part; back-ers respond with pledges made via credit card. If the campaign meets its goal and deadline, the crowdfunding site activates all the card-based pledges and the cam-paign is funded. While estimates vary widely, research organization Massolution (http://www.crowdsourcing.org/editorial/2013cf-the-crowdfunding-industry-report/25107) put 2013 crowdfunding revenue at $5.1 bil-lion globally. Many crowdfunding efforts today are artistic or cause-based, but that is expected to change in the near future. Implementing the crowdfunding provi-sions of the 2012’s Jumpstart Our Busi-ness Startups (JOBS) Act, (https://www.sec.gov/spotlight/jobs-act.shtml) the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is putting fi nal touches on regulations allow-ing ordinary investors to participate in eq-uity crowdfunding for the fi rst time. This would mean that business owners could raise money via the web in exchange for a piece of ownership in their company. Because the process of crowdfunding is relatively easy compared to other means of obtaining capital, some might neglect to research potentially unfavorable tax, fi nan-cial or legal implications from their cam-paign. Potential crowdfunding campaign-ers might want to make a preliminary call to a qualifi ed tax adviser, fi nancial planner or an attorney before launching any online fundraising effort. Individuals, companies and nonprofi ts have different tax issues and fi nancial precedents that could blunt the effectiveness of any fundraising cam-paign. Depending on the fundraising goal and how that money will be handled in the aftermath of the campaign, experts say some situations may call for a particular legal entity to be formed in advance. If appropriate, participants could seek guid-ance to form an actual business (https://www.sba.gov/writing-business-plan) or nonprofi t (https://www.councilofnonprof-its.org/tools-resources/business-planning-nonprofi ts) entity. Discussing structural issues in advance will not only help with tax issues, but also lead to better strategies

for fundraising and long-term mission. Benefi ciaries should also consider any potential tax issues they could face as re-cipients of money from crowdfunding campaign. Depending on individual cir-cumstances, crowdfunding a person’s un-paid medical bills may have signifi cantly different tax ramifi cations than crowd-funding one’s independent fi lm project. It is not enough to consider the tax issues for the campaign and campaigners. Ben-efi ciaries require their own due diligence to make sure crowdfunding provides the most effi cient solution for their needs. Finally, backers should consider wheth-er they have any tax questions about their

support. To date, most crowdfunding sup-porters give such small amounts tax issues don’t really surface. That may change in the future as crowdfunding moves into the commercial arena. No matter what the circumstance, any potential crowdfund-ing backer who works with a qualifi ed tax, fi nancial or legal professional should consider asking if there are more effi cient ways to offer support. Bottom line: If you are interested in crowdfunding either as a campaigner, a benefi ciary or a backer, research a poten-tial project thoroughly and consider get-ting individualized tax, fi nancial or legal advice before you proceed.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDEA ‘Berry’ Healthy Way To

Help Your Heart

(NAPSI)—A little heart-shaped fruit can be a big help to your heart. Accord-ing to research, strawberries may play an important role in helping to reduce the risk of heart disease. “Strawberries are at the top of the list of foods I recommend for packing the most nutrition into everyday meals, especially when considering cardiovas-cular health,” said Sylvia Klinger, MS, RD, LDN. “It’s an easy sell with their versatility and naturally sweet taste.” Here are 12 more reasons to enjoy California strawberries: 1. High in vitamin C (more per serv-ing than an orange) and may boost im-munity. 2. Considered a superfruit with loads of antioxidants and anthocyanins. 3. Versatile and can be added to both savory and sweet dishes. 4. Low in sugar, naturally sweet with only 45 calories per cup. 5. A source of potassium to support healthy blood pressure. 6. A good source of dietary fi ber. 7. Available year-round and easy to freeze. 8. Grown by caring strawberry farm-ers who use sustainable farming prac-tices. 9. Loved by kids and ideal for snacks and lunches. 10. Ideal for adding appeal to sum-mertime dishes and special occasions. 11. Grown to perfection in ideal growing conditions along California’s coast. 12. Globally loved and voted Amer-ica’s favorite fruit. Try this recipe for a tasty way to en-joy strawberries:

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: I want to eat foods that are less processed, what should I look for when shop-ping? A: Examples of foods with little or no processing include whole grains, plain fresh or frozen vegetables and fruits, cooked beans and fresh poultry, seafood or meats. Eat-ing less processed food targets two related goals: maximizing your consumption of health-promoting nutrients and phytochemicals and minimizing unhealthy additions to your diet. By choosing whole grains instead of refi ned grains, you gain extra fi ber, vitamin E, magnesium and protective natural compounds called polyphenols. Some whole grains take longer to cook than their refi ned forms, but choices like bulgur, whole-wheat couscous, quick-cooking brown rice and quinoa are ready quickly. Food processing does not have to be bad. Vegetables and fruits that are frozen with-out high-fat or high-sodium sauces, or added sugar, are often called minimally pro-cessed, because freezing does not lead to nutrient loss and allows you to include these healthful foods conveniently and economically. Canning and cooking can make certain nutrients more easily absorbed by the body. For example, canned tomatoes are a good source of highly absorbable lycopene, a compound that may protect against cancer. Canned legumes like black beans and kidney beans make these slow-cooking nutrient gems ready in an instant. Look for beans, tomatoes and others with no added salt; oth-erwise, rinse in a sieve and you’ll at least substantially reduce sodium. Limiting processed meats such as sausage and hot dogs is important, since consum-ing them on a regular basis increases risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and colon cancer. The bottom line is to reach for foods in a form lowest in health negatives (like sodium and excess calories and unhealthy fat) and highest in nutritional positives. You can make them delicious and healthful with herbs, spices, onions, garlic, citrus juice and other fl avorings easily and stay budget-friendly.

(NU) - As the weather contin-ues to heat up, many of us are look-ing to slim down and get the mostout of our workouts. But choos-ing the best exercises is only onepart of the fitness equation. Tomaximize results, try these nutri-tious and energizing pre- and post-workout fixes to fuel your bodyand keep you going.

Before a Workout Eat…1. Overnight Oats. Oatmeal isfilled with fiber, so it’ll graduallyrelease carbs into your blood-stream and helpyou maintain asteady stream ofenergy through-out your workout. To makeovernight oats, just mix 1/2 cuprolled oats with 1 cup of your fa-vorite milk and let them soak in thefridge overnight. Then top withyour favorite nuts, fruits or yogurt,and enjoy!2. Raisins. A new study showsthat raisins work just as well assports gels as a natural way to fuelyour muscles. Aim for 2 table-spoons -- or about 30 to 40 raisins.3. Pomegranate Juice. A recentstudy found that healthy com-pounds in pomegranate juice,called polyphenols, may help de-crease muscle soreness.

After a Workout Eat... 1. Tuna. To get the protein yourbody needs to repair muscles aftera vigorous sweat session, tryStarKist Tuna Creations. Thepouches come in a variety of fla-

vors, like Sweet & Spicy andRanch, and all are 110 calories orless. Each provides 12-16 gramsof protein and is a natural sourceof omega-3s fats, which may de-crease the amount of fat your bodystores, and have been linked to de-creased muscle soreness.2. Latte. Believe it or not, thiscoffee shop treat is a refreshing op-tion after exercise. Milk is the se-cret ingredient, since it has both theprotein and carbohydrates yourbody craves post-workout. 3. Green Smoothie.A new studyfound that a healthy compound inleafy green vegetables helps mus-cles work more efficiently. In ablender, puree 1 cup of leafygreens, 8 ounces of low-fat milkand 1/2 cup frozen unsweetenedberries.

Last, but certainly not least,drinking plenty of water is vital.If you’re not fully hydrated, you’llget tired faster and increase yourrisk of injury. Aim to drink about8 to 16 ounces during a 30-minuteworkout.

Potholes Have ReturnedPotholes Have Returned Potholes have returned, and hitting one with your car can do a real number on tires, wheels, steering and suspension, and alignment. To help determine if hitting a pothole has damaged your vehicle, watch for these warning signs. • Loss of control, swaying when mak-ing routine turns, bottoming out on city streets or bouncing excessively on rough roads are indicators that the steering and suspension may have been damaged. The steering and suspension are key safety-related systems. Together, they largely de-termine your car’s ride and handling. Key components are shocks and/or struts, the steering knuckle, ball joints, the steering rack/box, bearings, seals and hub units and tie rod ends. • Pulling in one direction, instead of maintaining a straight path, and uneven tire wear, are symptoms of an alignment

problem. Proper wheel alignment is im-portant for the lifespan of tires and helps ensure safe handling. • Low tire pressure, bulges or blisters on the sidewalls, or dents in the wheel rim will be visible and should be checked out as soon as possible, as tires are the critical connection between your car and the road. If you’ve hit a pothole, it can be diffi -cult to know if your vehicle has been dam-aged in the process, so have a professional technician check out the car and make the necessary repairs to ensure safety and reli-ability. April is National Car Care Month and the non-profi t Car Care Council offers many free tools on its website to help you drive smart, save money and be car care aware, including the popular 80-page Car Care Guide and a custom service schedule and email reminder service

Motorists Will Enjoy Cheapest Summer Gas Prices in a Decade (GAITHERSBURG, MD) - Motor-ists will be driving for joy when they learn GasBuddy is projecting that this summer’s gasoline prices will bring the most affordable summer months since at least 2005. While it may sound wild, GasBuddy projects that the summer driving season of 2015 (Memorial Day through Labor Day) will see the U.S. average price of gasoline come in around $2.35 per gal, a revision from its 2015 forecast it re-leased last December. A recent Energy Information Administration projec-tion pinned summer gasoline prices at $2.45/gal. Both numbers would repre-sent the lowest summer prices in a dec-ade. “That means more Americans can afford to pack up and go enjoy a sum-mer getaway because the cost of get-

ting there will likely be the lowest since 2005,” said Patrick DeHaan, senior pe-troleum analyst with GasBuddy. “The latest data from the EIA showed the largest week-to-week buildup of crude oil (10.9 million barrels) since March 2001 and that underscores the down-ward pressure on fuel prices. So we’re confi dent in our projection; that the summer of 2015 will see the national average come in at a seasonal level we haven’t approached since 2005.” “For consumers intent on saving the most no matter what part of the country they may be visiting, we suggest down-loading GasBuddy’s free app because the average ‘spread’ (the gap between the highest 5% and lowest 5% of gas prices) by state still averages out to 45 cents daily,” said Gregg Laskoski, another senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy.

(NU) - Many of us are lookingfor fresh ways to lead healthierlifestyles and eat nutritiously, with-out having to sacrifice flavor. Youmay already be eating fruits andveggies, like broccoli and bananas,but here are five nutritional super-stars you should be piling on yourplate if you aren’t already: 1. Lentils. Lentils may look likethe runt of the legume family, butdon’t be fooled. These are rich indietary fiber and are a good sourceof iron and folate, which collec-tively help re-duce the risk ofheart disease,increase yourmetabolism and improve digestivehealth. Talk about big things com-ing in small packages! 2. Cauliflower. Cauliflower ishaving its turn in the spotlight thisyear -- and rightfully so. This cru-ciferous vegetable is rich in vita-min C, fiber and potassium. Trywhipped cauliflower in place ofmashed potatoes, or grill slices ofit for a new side dish. Tip: If thebitter taste of raw cauliflower turnsyou off, try steaming or sautéingfor milder flavor. 3. Sardines. Sardines may not bethe first fish to come to mind, butthey are certainly one of the health-iest. This petite treat is a leansource of protein, rich in Omega-3s, vitamin B12 and vitamin D,making them a heart-healthy snackworth trying. StarKist’s newGourmet Selects skinless, bonelesssardine fillets come packed in de-licious gourmet sauces. They are

great for a snack right out of thecan or a perfect addition to anyculinary creation. 4. Pomegranate. Pomegranateshave often taken a backseat to oth-er fruits, but these delicious gemspack arguably a bigger nutritionalpunch than some of the tradition-al favorites. Not only are the seedsand juice jam-packed with antiox-idants, but they are also high invitamin C and potassium, and theseeds are a great source of fiber.Tip: Avoid the mess by deseedingwith the pomegranate submergedin water. 5. Flaxseeds.As a good source offiber, omega-3 fatty acids and an-tioxidants, flaxseeds are often con-sidered nutritional powerhouses.Lucky for us, ground or milledflaxseeds can be easily mixed intoalmost any recipe, including cere-al, baked goods, yogurt and more.Tip: If you buy whole flaxseeds,grind them right before using toreap all the nutritional benefits.

10 Ways To Help Bees And Butterflies Thrive (NAPSI)—Here’s news that’s created a buzz. Three-quarters of the world’s fl ow-ering plants and food crops rely on polli-nating insects such as bees and butterfl ies to help them reproduce. Unfortunately, bee populations are be-ing threatened by a range of issues such as colony collapse disorder, pesticides, mites, disease and climate change. Butter-fl y populations are also at risk. The good news is that gardeners can help restore balance by creating habitats that encourage pollinators to thrive. Bees and butterfl ies need places to live and breed in, and food to eat. The plants that provide this food also need pollinators to help them reproduce, so planting gar-dens that are friendly to bees and butter-fl ies is a win-win situation. Pollination occurs naturally as small creatures forage for food, carrying pollen from plant to plant as they go. That is why it’s important to offer them a “buffet” of attractive fl owers throughout the seasons, and to have suffi cient natural habitats so that they don’t have to travel far to fi nd what they need.

Here are 10 easy ways to help:

1) BEE friendly to bees! Honeybees are not aggressive; they sting only as a defense mechanism. 2) Plant trees, shrubs and fl owering plants to increase food and shelter for bees and butterfl ies. 3) Create a seasonal buffet for pollina-tors by planting perennial fl owers with a mix of colors, shapes and scents in con-tainers, window boxes and plant beds. 4) Choose perennials with simple, sin-gle rather than double fl owers to make nectar and pollen more accessible to bees and butterfl ies. 5) Cut and use garden fl owers for bou-quets to encourage re-blooming and to prolong the foraging window for pollina-tors. 6) Use beautiful native plants such as

echinacea, coreopsis, sunfl owers and but-terfl y milkweed for at least 75 percent of your garden. 7) Water, weed and fertilize soil ap-propriately to create a healthy garden that minimizes pests and diseases. 8) Provide clean water for insects in shallow bowls, birdbaths and ponds, or let fresh water drip over stones. 9) Imperfection is OK! Bees and but-terfl ies may damage leaves and fl owers while breeding and feeding. Create areas of natural habitat with old stumps, fallen branches and tall grass for nesting. 10) Help convert small parcels of land into community gardens and green spaces to create closely linked areas for bees and butterfl ies to visit.

Burpee offers a wide range of seeds and plants that are attractive to bees and butterfl ies. All of Burpee’s seeds are Non-GMO. To learn more about protecting pollina-tors, visit the website:

Tips On Selecting A Retirement Community (NAPSI)—Today’s boomers are re-tiring in record numbers and many are challenging a number of popular stere-otypes about retirement and aging. For instance, according to the Fed-eral Interagency Forum on Aging-Re-lated Statistics, the percentage of ac-tive seniors has continuously increased since 1998, and many are seeing the benefi ts of their activity. A recent report published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found that adults who lead an active lifestyle live up to 5.5 years longer than those who don’t. The desire to be more active as they age is also driving many changes in what boomers demand from retirement communities and the menu of ameni-

ties that those communities offer. To help boomers fi nd a commu-nity that’s a good fi t for a retiree with a more active lifestyle, here are some tips from Equity LifeStyle Properties (ELS), a leading national operator of active-adult communities. • Consider unconventional sports, such as pickleball or Zumba, both of which are resident favorites at ELS’ ViewPoint community in Mesa. • Those looking for something more traditional should ask the property manager if the community offers sports such as tennis, golf or softball. Social Activities While the benefi ts of an active life-style are commonly known, the benefi ts of strong social connections are also valuable. A study published in PLoS

Medicine found that social support in-creases survival by about 50 percent and lack of social support equates to the mortality risk of smoking 15 ciga-rettes a day. • When searching for a retirement community, look for a range of social activities that will help you stay en-gaged and that align with your interests. • Look for ways the community brings residents together. For example, does it host community happy hours? Are there holiday parties and potlucks? How do they create opportunities for residents to interact? • Think outside the box. Many of today’s retirement communities offer unique social activities such as wood-working, silversmithing and jewelry making, and outdoor group adventures. Know Your Neighbors • Good neighbors may be good for your health. A recent study published in the Journal of Epidemiology & Com-munity Health found that having good neighbors and feeling connected to oth-ers in the local community may help to curb your heart attack risk. • Before moving in, talk with cur-rent community residents to get a feel for the “personality” of the community and how engaged its members are in of-ferings and activities. By fully evaluating potential retire-ment communities, boomers can go a long way toward fi nding a community that supports an active and social life-style, both now and for years to come.

(NU) - For over 30 years, TheWeather Channel has inspiredviewers to explore, investigate andappreciate how it’s amazing outthere by providing the latest weath-er information for the modern era.The network continues to explorethis connection with its newestoriginal primetime series, “Brain-Stormers,” where weather will beboth the teacher and the enemy.

The series follows three back-yard inventors, Rob “Poppy”Parker, Ryan Parker (a father, sonduo) and Bill LeVasseur (Ryan’sbest friend), who channel theirinner MacGyver by building andtesting inventions that eitherfight inclement weather or har-ness its power for everyday use-- while on a budget.

From their Colorado-basedworkshop, the three men test theiringenuity and tackle weather is-sues by repurposing what somemay consider junk. Sometimesthe builds required our Brain-Stormers to start from scratch, andother times they were called uponto help other backyard inventorsimprove their projects. Everybuild comes with its own uniqueset of challenges, from creating ahomemade mosquito trap or solarwater heater to fixing a nearbytown’s wind generator.

Here are some of the creativeinventions you can expect to seeon “BrainStormers”:• A beer can heater. A Denverfriend needs a low-cost fix to makeher drafty bedroom warmer. So,the team decides a solar heatercould work, but would require ex-pensive aluminum tubes to trans-fer the sun’s radiation to heat. Whatto do? Use beer cans, of course. Byusing rows of black-painted beer

cans in a sealed wooden box, theteam finds a solar heater can bebuilt for pennies on the dollar.• A snow maker. If you thinkliving in Denver means enoughsnow for even the most die-hardsnowboarder, think again. This isthe issue for Seth Hill, a pro-snow-boarder who wanted to make prac-tice runs near his house when he’snot on tour. He enlists the Brain-Stormers team to build an inex-pensive snowmaking machine byusing a junkyard power washer.• A “swamp bucket cooler.”AnArizona housewife can’t take thehigh temperatures in her kitchen,and the family is tired of orderingtakeout. They enlist the Brain-Stormers for a portable and low-cost way to cool the kitchen. TheBrainStormers determine that anevaporative cooling system wouldwork best for Arizona’s high heatand low humidity, but how do youmake it so it is small and inexpen-sive? Well, you’ll just have towatch to find out.
