Keeping The Faith
Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org
Dear Pastor, it seems that my prayers don't get answered. What am I doing wrong? Last week we looked at how faith contributes to getting our prayers answered. We saw that in Mark 11:24, Jesus said that when you add faith to your prayers, you will see them answered. We also mentioned that it's important to not speak contrary to your own prayers. This will undermine your own prayers and hinder the answers. This week we want to continue on speaking in faith. At the end of Mark 22, Jesus tells us that we can
have what we say. This is true whether we are speaking in line with God's Word…or against it! It’s important to realize, however, that when we talk against our own prayers, we are not just demonstrating a lack of support for our prayers, we are actually creating more of the thing we are praying against! Some time ago I read a newspaper article concerning depression in pre-teen girls. The study cited found that those girls who got together with friends and complained about their problems were actually more likely to develop depression and increase anxiety. The psychologist's conclusion was, "what you say and think actually influences what you feel." They recommended using "happy talk" as a diversion or talking about solutions rather than just talking about the problems. Isn't it funny that it took a million dollar study to come to the same conclusion that God wrote in His Word so long ago? So you see that how we speak can influence our prayers…for or against! We must even be aware of what we say when we
family church F R E D O N I A
pray. Too many people try to use prayer as an opportunity to “vent” their negative feelings. They spent lots of time crying but have no faith in what God has already said in His Word. Are your prayers just complaints, or are you actually asking for God's intervention? Better yet… are you standing on His Word and telling God, in faith, that you believe His promises? For example… rather than just telling God that you are sick (complaint), wouldn't it be better to say, "I will get better." Better yet… how about saying, "I am healed because God says that I am (Isaiah 53:4, Matt. 8:17)." When we line up how we speak with what God promises us, our prayers will take on more effectiveness. Next week…other hindrances to prayer.

Jamestown Board of Education Appoints New Superintendent of Schools Contributed Article JPS
The Jamestown Board of Education appointed Dr. Bret Apthorpe as the new superintendent of Jamestown Schools at tonight’s meeting. Dr. Apthorpe will officially assume his superintendent duties in Jamestown on September 1st. “I am extremely pleased with our selection of Dr. Bret Apthorpe as our new superintendent,” said Jamestown Board of Education President Paul Abbott. “His qualifications and experience will be an asset to our district. Although the Board set an aggressive timetable for the selection process, we had an extremely deep pool of knowledgeable, accomplished candidates, which is a good ‘problem’ to have. I think this is a definite indicator that a truly exceptional superintendent will be at the helm when our district schools open their doors in September. I would like to thank a number of people whose efforts and input were invaluable to this endeavor. First, my entire board, for the countless hours dedicated to the selection process, and Western New York Educational Services for their experience and talent in bringing so many
impressive candidates for our consideration. I would also like to thank the hundreds of community members for their input, guidance, and patience during the superintendent search and selection process.” Dr. Apthorpe is a native of Chautauqua County, having grown up in Mayville, NY. He has been the superintendent of schools for the Frontier Central School District in Hamburg, NY since 2014. Previously, Dr. Apthorpe was the assistant superintendent of curriculum & instruction at Fairport Central School District from 2007 to 2014. Dr. Apthorpe began his educational career at Southwestern Central School District in Lakewood, NY as a social studies teacher. He also taught high school social studies in the Honeoye FallLima Central School District. In 2000, Dr. Apthorpe transitioned to building administration as the director of instructional technology at the Monroe #1 BOCES and senior high assistant principal in the Churchville-Chili Central School District. Dr. Apthorpe received his Bachelor of Arts from the University at Buffalo in History & Education. He obtained his Master of Science from SUNY College
at Fredonia in Reading & Curriculum and a Certificate of Advanced Study from SUNY College at Brockport in Educational Administration. Dr. Apthorpe was awarded his Doctor of Education from the University of Rochester in Educational Leadership. “I am grateful to the Jamestown Board of Education for giving me the opportunity to be your next superintendent and I am excited to be part of a school community dedicated to student achievement,” said Dr. Apthorpe. “I have strong family, educational and professional roots in Chautauqua County and Western New York. This opportunity is not about a job. It is about the opportunity to return to the area I love most and to work tirelessly on a mission that will advance the education of all Jamestown students. This is about legacy work as the future of our community depends on our children getting a high-quality education. I will leverage my experience as a fiscal steward, technology innovator, child advocate, and educator to partner with the entire Jamestown Public School family to support and champion our children, helping them receive a worldclass education.”
Dr. Apthorpe and his wife, Tracy, who is an elementary teacher, have three adult children, Jessica, Hannah and Jake. Jessica is studying education at Erie Community College. Hannah is attending SUNY Fredonia studying human resources. Jake recently graduated with an engineering degree from Norwich University and is an officer in the United States Air Force where he will begin pilot training this fall.

JHS AP Biology Students Create Scavenger Hunt for Riverwalk Festival Contributed Article JPS
Jamestown High School AP Biology students in Jennifer Lumia’s class created a Scavenger Hunt for the City of Jamestown’s Greater McCrea Point Park Festival that will be held on July 8 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Students worked as a team to create twelve stops along the Riverfront Walk with a question to be answered at each stop. The Scavenger Hunt begins at Panzarella Park and ends behind the JAMA building. The self-guided scavenger hunt includes questions such as: “With the addition of this dock, people have found a new place to fish. What kind of fish
can be caught in the Chadakoin?” and “Native vegetation also known as riparian buffers can be used to prevent fertilizers from entering the water and resulting in eutrophica-
nutrients? (Hint: there’s 3).” Students created a unique QR Code at every stop, which was placed on a sign that gives the correct answer for each Scavenger Hunt stop. Students developed the questions, signs, and brochure that go along with the scavenger hunt for the City of Jamestown to use during the Riverwalk Festival and to help promote the Riverwalk. “These students are the best and brightest of JHS and they can use their knowledge and creativity to help out their community,” said Mrs. Lumia. tion.

At this point one’s entire garden is fully planted and hopefully growing well. But there’s no time for sitting on your laurels. Getting great harvests in the fall requires a substantial investment of sweat equity now. That wonderful garden bed and soil that’s been created is also great for growing a huge variety of weeds – some of which are great to eat – and all those healthy veggies attract a variety of vegetable-loving varmints. You will learn ways to battle these pests without chemicals. You will also sample whatever is now ripe for picking, possibly including sugar snap peas, the first tomatoes and cucumbers, gooseberries, currants, and raspberries. The Stolesons have been raising some of their own food for more than 15 years. They estimate that they produce 85% of the vegetables, 50% of the fruit, and 10% of the nuts that they consume. Keep in mind that you could get dirty. Fee for the workshop is $16, $12 for Nature Center members. Enrollment is limited. Paid reservations are required by Wednesday, July 12, and can be made by calling (716) 569-2345 during business hours or clicking through the Program page at www.auduboncnc.org. Future workshops will be on Sunday afternoons. The theme on August 20 is Late Summer Harvests and October 1 is Fall Harvests and Putting Your Garden to Bed. For details, check out these dates on the Programs page at auduboncnc.org. Save these dates and watch Audubon’s newsletters and website for more details. The final class will include preparing a meal from ingredients you will pick on arrival. Audubon education programs are funded with support from the Carnahan Jackson Foundation, Jessie Smith Darrah Fund, Holmberg Foundation, Hultquist Foundation, and Lenna Foundation. Audubon Community Nature Center builds and nurtures connections between people and nature by providing positive outdoor experiences, opportunities to learn about and understand the natural world, and knowledge to act in environmentally responsible ways.

Don’t Cry Over Spilled Paint By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
Just about everyone has heard the saying, ‘don’t cry over spilled milk,’ at least once in their lifetime. No one really knows who said it first, or where it originated, but it’s simple to understand and can be applied to nearly any situation. It can also be equated to, ‘accidents happen.’ In other words, sometimes things go wrong, but that doesn’t justify throwing a fit about it. We live in a world where things are bound to go wrong. There is not one person here on earth that could say they’ve never experienced a problem whilst living here. Things happen. Life happens. Crying isn’t going to help the situation move forward, so go get a towel and clean up your mess. At least that’s my interpretation of it. Well, if you have caught wind of any of our projects these past few weeks of spring and summer, we have been hard at work on our backyard. When we bought our house, the yard was one of the things that we just fell in love with. It was overgrown, and we knew going into it that there would be much work ahead of us. Not things that had to be done right away though, as we moved in during the fall season, with three little kids and a whole mess of other life events happening at the same time. Now that the kids are a little older, and we’ve had a chance to see what plants live where, etc., we’ve been plugging away at it. Some of you may be wondering, ‘what does this have to do with spilled milk?’ Just wait. You’ll see the connection soon enough. Here are a couple of before and after pictures to give you an idea of how far we’ve come, and far we’ve yet to go.
I so enjoy before and after pictures. The signs of progress. Any fellow HGTV fans out there? It hardly looks like the same piece of property. There’s far more room for kids to run around and play now, and the weekly maintenance is considerably more manageable for us. It’s real hard to mow a jungle, in case you were wondering. Also, that statement comes from my husband, as I don’t do the mowing around here. You may also notice that my shed has made some more progress. Although not much, because, dun dun dun… A certain little boy spilled my paint can in the midst of my painting project. I won’t say any names, but he recently turned four. It was one of those moments where you could tell that something was going to happen. So I took his little sister/sidekick inside for her nap before she got into anything. Long story short, I should have had all three come inside with me. You can see their play area from her bedroom window, so I was watching them from up there while getting her changed for her nap. Sometime in between the time it took me to lay her down in her crib and the time I actually came out-
side, chaos struck. The four-year old who shall not be named, came running up to me shouting, ‘mommy, I had an accident and the paint is everywhere!’ He was not kidding. The paint had been sitting on top of a Rubbermaid outdoor storage box, where they couldn’t reach it. They could however open the bottom doors, that with the weight of a paint can on the top doors, would cave in, getting paint all over the inside of the box, and any outdoor toys within. No point in crying, but someone did get a time-out. Actually, two time-outs. Sometimes parents need a time-out more than the kids do. This was one of those times. Somehow, by some kind of miracle, neither of the boys got a single drop of paint on them. If you had seen the mess that was made, you would totally understand why I am considering this to be a miracle. It’s near impossible to spill a paint can, three-quarters of the way full, from above your head without getting any on your person. All this to say, I need to go back to the paint store. Again. As always, thanks for reading, and stay tuned for a FULLY painted shed, someday. Maybe next year.

As people age, stroke is one of their greatest fears. In fact, many Americans believe that surviving a stroke with a disability could be worse than dying. With stroke being one of the biggest risks of undergoing heart valve replacement, doctors are enthusiastic about new technology that may help. Almost one in 10 patients that undergo minimally-invasive heart valve replacement, known as trascatheter aortic valve replacement, or TAVR, have a stroke. Most of these strokes occur during the procedure or in the first 72 hours following it, caused by calcium deposits or tissue that breaks loose from the heart valve or surrounding area and travels to the brain, causing damage. However, a new, FDA-cleared technology, called the Sentinel Cerebral Protection System, is now available and has been shown to help protect patients from the risk of stroke during TAVR It is the only device available in the U.S. to protect the brain during this procedure, and studies have shown that it reduces the incidence of stroke by 63 percent. The Sentinel works by capturing and removing the potentially damaging material released during the procedure before it reaches the brain, providing protected TAVR. Clinical studies have shown that 99 percent of TAVR patients have this type of debris removed after the procedure. CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

NEW DEVICE HELPS PROTECT PATIENTS FROM STROKE DURING HEART VALVE REPLACEMENT, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10 It is being offered by selected centers across the country that perform the TAVR procedure. Robert Eckley of Seminole, Florida, was able to undergo protected TAVR using the new technology in a clinical trial before it was approved. "My biggest fear was having a stroke, and I really believe if I didn't have the Sentinel device, I would have had serious problems. I'm grateful to have had a successful surgery and the device did capture a lot of debris," he says. "My lifestyle is back to normal and I can do all the activity I used to do before the surgery without dizzy spells, shortness of breath or stopping to rest."

wards finding ways to improve services while also reducing costs. Comprised of county and local elected officials, and business, citizen, and labor representatives, this advisory group has helped track regional initiatives and served as a liaison between local officials and New York Department of State, particularly with three recent village dissolution petitions. We are proud to be part of this Commission, which has helped bring our communities together toward the common goal of providing governmental services more efficiently and effectively. The County Legislature also recently approved a Government Reduction Initiative, which authorizes one-time local financial assistance following a successful dissolution or consolidation of a municipality within the county. Chautauqua County’s application for the Phase 2 grant that includes twelve projects is a testament to these ongoing efforts to improve services and reduce costs. We appreciate the political will that the County Executive has demonstrated by encouraging and facilitating these important conversations and providing his support to the effort. In addition, we commend the efforts of various governmental units and leaders who have stepped to the table. The process in developing these projects was inclusive of municipal officials, staff, and public input. The application is also wide reaching, ensuring these grant funds would have a substantial impact on communities countywide. Chautauqua County municipalities have had shared services agreements for many years which have been particularly successful with highway and emergency services. The potential of additional grant funding can put our county and municipalities in a unique
position to continue finding ways to reduce layers of government oversight that increase tax burdens for our businesses and homeowners and to build a strong future for Chautauqua County.

Mobile Payment App Gives Apple Pay a Run for Its Money Contributed Article NewsUSA
This fall, like clockwork, Apple, Inc. will launch its iPhone 8, with yet another new operating system. Added to the mix will be the launch of Apple Pay Cash and sending money inside its messenger app, also known as Peer to Peer (P2P). The problem is that millions of Apple and Android users won't be able to use it. The reason is that you must have an iPhone 6 or higher to be compatible with iOS11, which means that of the more than 90 million iPhone users in the United States, approximately 55 million will not have access to Apple Pay Cash and P2P. This gap in service by two of the largest technology companies in the world could send all of the excluded iPhone and Android users to seek an alternative way to send money and have it loaded to a card. Enter MovoCash, the brainchild of
Eric Solis, which has created a payment platform that allows consumers to link their bank accounts to their MovoCash account for mobile payments with no limitation on the number of supported banks. Unlike Apple Pay or Android Pay, MovoCash eliminates the need for retailers to buy expensive equipment. "MovoCash is a transformative way to think about payments," says Eric Solis, CEO and founder of the company. "It always bugged me that companies like Apple would roll out a product that is so hard to use. You have to have a newer iPhone, you have to have a card that supports Apple Pay, you have to go to a merchant that supports Apple Pay. At the end of the day, so many consumers are locked out of the digital economy. We fixed all of that with MovoCash," says Eric Solis, founder of the company. To that point, MovoCash allows users (and even non-users) to send money to a friend instantly. And that friend can then turn around and buy a latte.

Some of the many advantages of Movocash compared to Apple Pay are that: • Apple Pay can only be used by iPhone owners. With Movo- Cash, you can send money to anyone who has a smart phone. • Only about 1 in 3 retailers support Apple Pay, while MovoCash is supported by more than 99.9 percent of retailers. • Apple Pay can be spent where Apple Pay is accepted (usually not online) or sent to your bank. MovoCash, on the other hand, can be spent at nearly 100 percent of merchants. You can also get cash at an ATM, cash back with a purchase, pay bills, send someone a check, or shop online. Consider this: according to Gartner, Inc., an American research and advisory firm providing information technology-related insight, of the 431
million smart phones sold worldwide in 2016, 352 million were Android devices and 77 million were iPhones. This is important because MovoCash has plans to expand globally. As for the domestic market, there are 107 million Android smart phones in the United States and 90 million iPhones, of which 55 million are iPhone 5 or older. This means that a total of 142 million smart phone users in the United States will be blocked from using Apple Pay Cash. Alternatively, MovoCash works across all devices and has plans for global expansion. "We are thrilled with the capabilities created with MovoCash," says Solis. "Our technology is available now and has many more features that make managing your money much easier than any other tool on the market." For more information, visit https:// movo.cash/.

Ladder Safety Should Be Tops for Home Improvers
Computers: An Afterschool Necessity for Many Young Students Contributed Article NewsUSA
Contributed Article NewsUSA
As the warm weather of spring and summer arrives, ambitious and well-intentioned homeowners embark on cleaning, maintenance, and improvement projects that often involve roofs, gutters, and ladders. However, working on a ladder can be dangerous. Consider this: every year, approximately 164,000 people visit emergency rooms in the United States because of ladder accidents, according to data from the World Health Organization. Underscoring the fact that lack of knowledge about ladder safety is a growing problem are recent survey results published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine which found that the number of ladder-related injuries in the United States has increased by more than 50 percent in 15 years. Professionals and nonprofessionals alike can benefit by keeping some safety tips in mind, courtesy of the Consumer Product Safety Commission: • Stand firm. When positioning a ladder anywhere around your home, be sure to place it level on firm ground.
•
•
•
•
Have a partner, but go solo. When climbing a ladder, have another person with you to hold the lower end for extra safety and support. However, only one person at a time should be on a ladder so it doesn't become top-heavy and fall over. Don't go to the top. Never stand on the top rung of a ladder, and don't reach from a ladder. Instead, climb down and move the ladder to the location of your choice. Watch for doors. Never place a ladder near a door that can be opened; an unexpected exit could lead to a ladder accident. Be shoe smart. Wear shoes with clean, dry soles when working on ladders. Avoid sandals or flip flops.
Most importantly, don't forget the rule of three: According to the American Ladder Institute, the "Three Points of Contact" rule means keeping either two hands and one foot or two feet and one hand in contact with the steps, rungs, or side rails of a ladder at all times to reduce chances of a slip or fall. Gutter cleaning and maintenance are among the highest risk activities for ladder injuries. One option to reduce the risk is to install rain dispersal gutters that don't require routine cleaning. Products such as the Rainhandler Rain Dispersal system are engineered to keep leaves and debris out of gutters. Visit www.rainhandler. com for more information about how the right gutter management can simplify home maintenance.

Shopping for school supplies isn't what it used to be. Sure, kids still need notebooks, binders and pens -- but they won't survive without the latest technology either, namely a computer. According to a recent survey commissioned by HP and conducted by Wakefield Research, computers become a significant part of homework assignments for children as young as 10 years old and students aged 6 to 17 spend at least three hours a day on devices with Internet access. However, that much computer use at such a young age raises some concerns among parents. "If your child is about to hit double digits, computers are going to be a routine part of their afterschool homework," explains Kevin Frost, Vice President, Volume Business Unit, HP. "HP shares parents' online safety concerns and offers a variety of desktop and notebook PCs with some exclusive offers and deals for students getting ready to go back to school." Can kids have fun and be safe online? Most parents want to guarantee safety instead of hoping for it. The survey reported that more than 28 percent of parents have more faith in giving their child a credit card at the mall than leaving them home alone on a computer. In fact, over a third of parents surveyed believe children cruising the Internet unsupervised have more potential for
danger than kids staying at a friend's house without parental supervision. Despite these fears -- and the reality that prolonged computer usage is the norm for many students -- 66 percent of parents don't take simple steps to protect their children online, such as using parental control software, and 67 percent don't block websites they deem inappropriate. To keep your children safe while making sure they're able to complete their school work, consider the following from HP: • Select the right computer. To keep an eye on young children's computer use, consider a family desktop PC that you can keep in a centralized location in your home. For example, HP has two desktops with student-friendly features and a 60-day Norton Internet Security trial -- the Pavilion 23 All-in-One and TouchSmart 320 All-in-One (www.shopping.hp.com). • Use parental control software. Be aware of what your kids are doing online, by setting time limits and restricting inappropriate websites. Select HP PCs come with up to two years of Norton Internet Security at no charge. • Talk to your kids. Your kids may be "digitally savvy," but that doesn't mean they don't need to learn some Internet safety lessons from Mom and Dad. Talk to them about not sharing personal information or clicking on suspicious links.

Visit Buffalo Niagara
Buffalo is undergoing a once-in-a-lifetime transformation, as its proud history and incredible architectural legacy weave their way into every aspect of the visitor experience. Visitors sleep in hotels that were former mansions and an insane asylum, tour the largest home ever designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in its restored grandeur, rock climb and drink craft beer among the ruins of grain silos and enjoy live performances in reclaimed movie palaces, churches and historic social clubs. A palpable enthusiasm winds its way through the city’s streets and neighborhoods, as locals who have summoned the collective will to revitalize their city are finally seeing their efforts paying off after decades of work. Here are “then and now” examples of Buffalo’s new developments – and the unexpected experiences awaiting visitors this summer. RIVERWORKS Then: The Grange League Federation (GLF) operated an extensive grain milling and storage facility on Buffalo’s waterfront; Buffalo has one of the largest collection of grain silos in the world. Now: The world’s first craft brewery inside a grain elevator, rock climbing on grain elevator walls and a beer garden in adjacent silo ruins opened in May. A zip lining and urban adventure course will launch this summer. buffaloriverworks.com THE RICHARDSON OLMSTED CAMPUS/HOTEL HENRY Then: The Buffalo State Asylum for the Insane, built in the late 19th century by acclaimed architect Henry Hobson Richardson and set on grounds designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. The building sat disused for over 30 years. Now: Hotel Henry, an 88-room urban resort and conference center, opened this spring and honors the building’s original architectural features. The Olmsted landscape has also been beautifully restored. richardson-

But the building fell into disrepair by the mid-20th century; portions of the complex were sold off and demolished. Now: Following a 15-year, $50 million restoration, the complex’s outbuildings have been rebuilt and visitors are seeing the house in its restored grandeur for the first time in generations. Both the Martin House and the lakeside Graycliff Estate are celebrating the 150th birthday of Wright with a summerlong series of events. darwinmartinhouse.org THE CURTISS HOTEL Then: The Harlow C.

Scrumptious Food and Rosé Wine Pairings Contributed Article StatePoint
A good rosé wine is evocative of beautiful days dining outdoors, although it’s increasingly being enjoyed year-round. And if you love this pink treat, you are in good company, as French rosé wine purchases in the US were up by over 77 percent in 2016. While rosé is refreshing on its own, you can elevate your experience by picking a great, affordable bottle and refreshing food pairings to match. Start by selecting a delicious high-quality wine that is food-friendly—such as the one from Maison Louis Jadot, the number one selling French wine in America. They just launched a rosé nationwide in the US: the Jadot Rosé 2016. With its uniquely aromatic complexity and vibrant red fruit, notes of wild strawberry and fresh crisp acidity, it is a nice accompaniment to these food pairing ideas from NYC-area based Sommelier, Chantelle Pabros, who is also sharing tasting notes for each selection. And at a price point of $13.99, is a great value for everyday enjoyment! • Prosciutto di Parma and Charcuterie: “The glossy, buttery texture of the prosciutto couldn't be a better match for rosé in terms of texture, and the cured meats brings out the red fruits -- wild strawberries and golden raspberries.” • Mussels, White wine, parsley, garlic, and a baguette: “The minerality of the rosé shines with the mouthwatering broth and steamed mussels. The acidity also comes into play perfectly.” • A simple mixed salad: Include thinly sliced shallots, a vinaigrette of Dijon mustard, lemon juice, aged balsamic vinegar, E.V.O.O, Maldon salt and pepper. “The pop of the vinaigrette is what makes this pairing work. When the shallots have a chance to marinate in

the dressing it gives incredible flavor to the salad. The rosé won’t be overpowered by the vinaigrette either. It balances well.” • Pan Roasted Cod: “I found a beautiful piece of cod at the market, which I pan roasted with lemon zest, thyme, butter, fleur de sel, pepper. Flaky and perfectly cooked, this was the best pairing by far. The rosé took on a juicy, crisp dimension, almost like biting into a luscious plum.” Jadot Rosé can also be served with a fuller-flavored fish with a richer sauce, such as mushroom and herbs; the wine would still stand up to it. Pabros also notes that you can serve this wine with quail, soy flavors, or even spices if properly balanced. In the mood for something else? Consider the crisp, fruit-forward Jadot Beaujolais-Villages alongside light red meats and grilled or roasted white meats, or enjoy the floral, apple and citrus aromas of Macon-Villages with poultry, shellfish, grilled swordfish and salads. Take your seasonal dining to the next level with delicious food and wine pairings that take advantage of the flavors and textures of both elements.

FREE Concert on Lily Dale Floating Stage to Feature Rustic Ramblers Contributed Article Lily Dale Assembly
Outdoor summer concert performances on Lily Dale Assembly’s floating stage kick off on Sun., July 9, at 5 p.m., when Rustic Ramblers performs. Admission is FREE and open to the public as a gift to the community from Lily Dale Assembly. Members of the Rustic Ramblers country music band include Howard Buck of Fredonia on lead guitar and vocals; David Bailey from Hartfield on drums and vocals; Jim (Frito) Lanphere of Fredonia on bass and vocals; and Gene Hilts from West Valley on steel guitar. Well-known throughout Western New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania, the band is popular for playing classic, traditional country music. Lily Dale’s floating stage was built in the early 1990s and donated to the Lily Dale Assembly by the Lily Dale Fine Arts Council, a group of volunteers who planned and coordinated a summer concert series on the stage for more than a decade. The stage was rebuilt five years ago by Lily Dale Assembly and is anchored in Cassadaga Lake behind Lily Dale’s Leolyn Hotel. This will be a relaxing and enjoyable evening of music in a great location on the shores of beautiful Cassadaga Lake. “Lily Dale Assembly attracts a significant portion of its summer visitors from communities in the area,” says Lily Dale Assembly Executive Director Susan Glasier. “This concert is our way of saying thank you to those communities.” There is no charge for admission; concertgoers are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets or to come by boat.

Champions of the Galaxy is a tabletop cards and dice game created and released in 1986 by Filsinger Games. Champions of the Galaxy features futuristic wrestlers battling it out across the galaxy with game cards drawn by Marvel and DC comic book artist Darryl Banks. The first Champions of the Galaxy game convention, GalactiCon, took place in Jamestown, New York in July, 1990. The success of the first convention led to annual events in Jamestown until 2014 and then the convention hit the road. In 2015 the convention was held in Cleveland and last year in Philadelphia.

Driver Safety: New Tips for Road Trips Contributed Article NewsUSA
For many, summer is about freedom on the open road. It's a carefree time, focused on fun, family and adventures. What it's usually not is a time to realize that more time on the road can mean a higher risk of an accident. In the U.S. alone, there are 10 million car accidents every year. This doesn't mean that your vacation can't be all fun and games -- it just takes some planning ahead. When preparing for a road trip, many people make sure their vehicle is up to date on its maintenance check-up and they may know how to change a tire -- but being prepared for a road trip is much more than that. Today's drivers must follow a few new tips for successful summer travel and consumer safety, according to Gold Class, which provides industry-recognized training to collision repair shop technicians that contributes to complete, safe and quality repairs. New Road Trip Preparation Tips Solid preparation can mean more successful road trips. Here are a few tips travelers should keep in mind, since the top contributors to vehicle collisions are distracted driving, speeding and drunk driving, and these risks only increase in summer due to more road traffic, construction and new teenage drivers. • Remember that distractions go beyond your phone. While much of today's in-vehicle technology is designed to help mitigate vehicle collisions, • you have to know its limitations. Don't forget that the very technology helping

keep you safe in your vehicle can also be a distraction: At any given moment, approximately 660,000 people are manipulating electronic devices or using cell phones while driving. Test technology features you don't typically use before you go, and learn how to best apply new vehicle technology at MyCarDoesWhat.org. Don't just rely on technology. Be aware of dramatic speed shifts that might alert you to changing driving conditions ahead (such as a small town, school zone or dangerous curves). This is even more important when driving in unfamiliar terrain. While navigation systems, adaptive headlights that can "see" around curves and the latest curve speed warning technology can all help, reviewing a map in advance and paying attention to road signage and conditions along the way can be a big help. • If you're drinking, know ridesharing options. A drunk driving-related accident occurs every two minutes. Besides friends, consider ridesharing options like Uber and Lyft, which are available throughout the U.S. and even in places where public transportation isn't as popular. Simply download the apps and schedule your ride beforehand. • Make an educated decision: Getting into a car accident while traveling can introduce another layer of complexity. Having to make a rushed decision about where to repair your car only adds to a stressful situation. Do your research ahead of time on www.GoldClass.com to find shops that have technicians who have received updated, model- and automaker-specific training and the knowledge to properly fix your vehicle. You can find a Gold Class shop in two ways: 1. Identify shops along your route ahead of time. 2. Gain easy access to the Gold Class Locator by putting a bookmark on www. GoldClass.com -- but keep in mind that rural areas may not always have internet connectivity, so planning ahead is the safest way to travel. Be Ready! Don't play around with your safety: Add these tips from Gold Class to your summer travel preparation checklist to be an educated consumer for your peace of mind. Remember that technology has its place while you're driving, and that if you are involved in a collision, no matter where you are (home or away) the same principles to find a trained collision repair shop apply, go to: www.GoldClass. com.

Special Olympics New York Athletes Hone Skills at Chautauqua Golf Club Contributed Article Chautauqua Lakers of Special Olympics New York
The Chautauqua Lakers of Special Olympics New York’s Western Region visited Chautauqua Golf Club Tuesday to sharpen their skills, learn golf etiquette, play a few holes, and — most importantly — connect with friends while having fun. Every Tuesday, the Chautauqua Lakers bring approximately 40 athletes and 25 volunteers to Chautauqua Golf Club, setting up skill games all over the practice facilities in an attempt to simulate what an actual Special Olympics event would look like. Athletes practice putting, chip shots, pitch shots, iron shots, wood shots and then, after proving that they can play at a more advanced level, have the opportunity to go out and play on the course. The partnership between Chautauqua Golf Club and Special Olympics New York’s Chautauqua Lakers began in the 1990s when members Bruce and Josie Crist, an employee at the club, decided to strike up a partnership, as they had a child involved in Special Olympics. Dan and Darla Davison came along in 2010 and took over for the Crists so they could retire. “This means a lot to the athletes,” said Darla Davison, who also helps to coach the team. “They are very always excited. They really don’t like it when we have to cancel. For some of them, this is their major activity for the week. They love the competition. They love learning the sports, and we’re very serious about teaching them the right way.” Chautauqua Golf Club values the partnership with Special Olympics New York’s Western Region and the Chautauqua Lakers, and the two sing each other’s praises at every opportunity. “These kids are great,” said Troy Moss, the head professional at Chautauqua Golf Club. “They’re so appreciative out there, and it’s just such a good thing for us to do. With the learning center and 36 holes, we have the space for them, and it’s just fun to watch them learn.” The Davisons, the Chautauqua Lakers and Special Olympics New York as a whole see their partnership with Chautauqua Golf Club as a fantastic opportunity to get their athletes quality experience on the golf course. “(Chautauqua Golf Club) is a significant partner,” said Darla Davison. “Without them, we wouldn’t be able to have this program at all. They make this program extra special. “We now hold a regional competition, and we invite a team from Buffalo to come down. The Golf Club does a fantastic job hosting that for us and allowing us to have a dinner along with it.” Even as the athletes crave the competition, the Davisons make sure they recite the Special Olympics oath before every session: “Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.” Winning and posting good scores are important, but not as important as the social components of the partnership between Special Olympics New York and Chautauqua Golf Club, as Darla Davison explains. “(The athletes) love getting out in the fresh air. They love the friendships and the camaraderie that they have here.”

Just Another “Best Round Of My Life” By Contributing Writer Stefan Gestwicki
One of the best parts of being a relatively new golfer (this is my fifth year) is that I’m still constantly accomplishing feats that I’ve never done before. For instance, just this evening I birdied No. 8 at Hillview for the first time ever. Yes, I’m aware that this isn’t a terribly difficult hole, but for whatever reason, I’ve never been able to hit the birdie putt when I’ve reached the green in two. Those are fun moments that keep me coming back for more. Like everyone who has ever fallen in love with golf, it only takes one or two good shots each round to keep that golf bug burrowing deeper and deeper. When I shot (and wrote about) that 38 a few weeks back, what I didn’t think about was the fact that I just made it that much more difficult to shoot my best round ever next time. I honestly wasn’t sure I was physically capable of shooting lower than my previous best of 39, but I accomplished that. And while I didn’t actually BEAT said 38, I did tie it with a second such round in a matter of eight
days. Yes, I reached my goal of breaking 40 twice this year and it feels amazing. Now that I’ve done it a few times, I can better appreciate just how much consistency it takes. That’s only two over par at most nine-hole courses. That’s not a lot of wiggle room. As similar as the two scores ended up (you know, identical), the rounds felt very different. The first 38 almost felt fluky. I wasn’t hitting anything particularly great, but my chipping was so darn good that nothing else mattered. The second 38 however, was a clinic in hitting irons. My driving was just average, but everything from my 8-iron up to my hybrid was spot on. I’ve never had so many birdie putts in one round. I didn’t actually make any, but the fact that I was taking them was exhilarating. I had significantly more putts in the second round, but in this case that wasn’t a bad thing. I wasn’t three-putting anything, I was just playing holes “like you’re supposed to.” That’s enough gloating (though I write about enough bad rounds in this column – I think I deserve a little space to brag). I had two other very fun rounds that were made entirely by the people I played with, not the way I played. My cousin Barry (and brother of weekly playing partner, Nick) came up from Pittsburgh for the holiday weekend and joined us for a round before the family picnic. He had only played three or four times ever and it’s always fun to see a brand new golfer doing all of the exact same things you did at that stage. You know, chronic slicing, putting way too hard, blading chip attempts, etc. He even managed a gorgeous par on No. 5 at Hillview. I came up just short of the green. Nick was a bit shorter still. And then Barry landed his about pin height 10 feet to the right of the cup. His birdie attempt wasn’t too far off and he tapped in for a par. It might have been his first ever, but somehow that didn’t come up. Either way, it was one of the exciting moments that keeps people coming back for more. A few days later, I got to tee it up with one of my best and oldest friends in the world, Ryan. We hadn’t seen each other in months, but what better way to reunite than on a golf course? I played slightly better than average (the above mentioned birdie on No. 8 was the highlight), but the score hardly mattered. It was one of the most fun rounds of the year. It was made even better by the fact that we had what was possibly the world’s best evening for golf. The course was in awesome shape. The wind was nonexistent. The temperature eased up after a scorcher during the day. Gosh it was perfect. I’m hoping I can check another goal off my 2017. I wanted to get another person hooked on golf. By the end of the round, Ryan was talking about memberships and making our games a weekly Wednesday tradition. Yes, please. Maybe next week I can write about another first. Until then, golf is great. Go get some.

as a Toyota in America in the first place. Nope, it was earmarked for Scion before Toyota axed the brand last year. Although Toyota also inherited other Scion nameplates like the sporty FR-S, the C-HR had been a real styling departure for Toyota until the 2018 Camry came along. With the new Camry on the showroom floor, C-HR won't look so out of place -- in an odd way, the new Camry kind of helps the C-HR make a little more sense. Still highly stylized, the lines of the 2018 Toyota C-HR may just represent the extreme limits of a significant sea change in the brand's styling theme. Just One of the Kids Like that rebellious kid
at Thanksgiving dinner, a small crossover can get away with just about anything. A few eye rolls from the rest of the family is about the extent of the repercussions. After all, the C-HR isn't the first smaller crossover showing up to church with its ballcap on backwards. The Nissan Juke and Kia Soul don't exactly represent the family styling themes of their respective brands either. Somehow, we are willing to overlook some eccentricities in our small crossovers, um wagons, uh "coupe-high riders." Build It and They Will Come Crossovers are the automotive equivalant of the boy bands of this decade. Wildly popular, a car-
maker can sell the heck out of just about anything if the vehicle has a twobox body style and the word "crossover" appears in its marketing. The public is that gaga over crossovers. It is the fastest growing salessegment in the industry. A carmaker will never go wrong giving the public what it wants and what it wants today is crossovers. So, even if the C-HR's
styling is a bit on the wild side, and it's a little pokey off the line, and it doesn't offer all-wheel drive, it will undoubtedly sell because Toyota markets it as a crossover. We're not judgy. If you want a crossover and you like the cut of the C-HR's jib, and need Toyota's well-known reliability, it's a fun little driver. You certainly won't be alone in buying it.
