Rabid Cat Attack FIRST CONFIRMED RABID ANIMAL IN 2017 Contributed Article Chautauqua County Dept. of Health & Human Services

The Environmental Health Unit of the Chautauqua County Department of Health & Humans Services received word that the first rabid animal of 2017 has been confirmed in the County. Two Stockton residents were attacked by this stray/feral pet cat on October 5.

“This incident should serve as a warning to Chautauqua County residents that animal rabies is a serious public health concern that we must not get complacent about,” said Christine Schuyler, County Director of Health & Human Services.

“Pets face a very real risk of exposure which can then translate to human exposure. Not only is this a terrible way for a pet to die but children are often at greatest risk from rabies. They are more likely to be bitten and are also more likely to be severely exposed through multiple bites in high-risk sites on the body.”

Rabies is nearly always a fatal disease when exposure is missed and untreated.

Preventing rabies in pets is your first line of defense.

Pet owners should be aware that New York State law requires all dogs, cats and domesticated ferrets be vaccinated against rabies at 4 months of age. The vaccination requirement aims to protect, not only pets and animals from the fatal rabies virus but, also owners who may be exposed through their pets. Free rabies vaccination clinics are held at various locations throughout the county during the year. The next free rabies clinic: Saturday October 14 9:00 a.m.-Noon Town of Gerry Highway Garage Rt. 60, Gerry, NY (across from cemetery) The initial rabies vaccination is valid for one (1) year and subsequent booster vaccinations are valid for three years. If an unvaccinated pet or one that's overdue on its vaccination comes in contact with a rabid or suspected rabid animal, the pet must either be euthanized or strictly quarantined for six (6) months. Vaccinated animals that come in contact with wild animals can simply be given booster vaccinations as long as they are given within five days of exposure.

Routine inquiries and requests for information can be obtained by calling 716753-4481 during business hours. After normal business hours, residents with urgent inquiries can call the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office at 716-753-4232.

8 Cooler Weather Water Safety Tips from New York Sea Grant A leading manufacturer of high-reliability products for the aerospace, industrial, medical and military industries.

Contributed Article New York Sea Grant

As cooler weather arrives, New York Sea Grant Extension of Cornell University offers eight tips that water enthusiasts, particularly those who kayak, canoe or use a rowboat as well as stream and ice anglers, can follow to enhance their seasonal water safety.

Water that is less than 70 degrees Fahrenheit can lower body temperature and lead to life-threatening hypothermia. According to the U.S. Coast Guard, a body can cool 25 times faster in cold water than in air, children cool faster than adults; and smaller people cool faster than larger individuals.

‘New York Sea Grant issues an annual reminder about life vests that are required to be worn by State law starting November 1 but are a good idea whenever the weather turns cooler. These safety tips are meant to help make anyone who gets in trouble on the water more buoyant and more visible to extend the opportunity for rescue and survival,’ said New York Sea Grant Coastal Recreation and Tourism Specialist Dave White.

1. Wear a life vest. New York State law requires that everyone in a recreational vessel of 21 feet or less must wear a US Coast Guard approved personal floatation device, or PFD, from November 1 to May 1. A PFD should be in good condition and appropriately sized for snug fit, particularly check that for children their head will not slip through. Bright color and attached whistle are recommended.

2. Learn the types of approved PFDs to make the best choice for safety and activity. A variety of U.S. Coast Guard approved floatation devices, beyond the commonly thought of life vest, are available to provide buoyancy. For example, a floatation coat covers the torso. A float suite encloses most of the body.

One-piece immersion suits cover head, body, feet and hands, leaving only the face exposed.

3. Communicate your activity plan, or float plan, to a responsible individual on shore: when you are leaving, where you are entering and exiting the water, where you are going on the water, and when you expect to return.

Contact that individual upon your return so they know you have safety returned.

4. Use the buddy system.

5. Use reflective Safe n Sight paddle decals to increase your visibility on the water. An IF Found: Contact sticker may be attached to your vessel. The decals can be requested by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to NYS Parks Marine Services Bureau, Safe n Sight Stickers, Albany, NY 12238. A street address is not required.

For a Type 1 PFD, the HELP position is crossed ankles, legs drawn together and up to chest, and crossed arms across your chest. For a Type 3 PFD, draw your legs together tightly and keep your arms tight to your sides. Huddle together with a buddy or others in a group.

7. Be aware of water conditions before you launch: are there physical hazards: sand bars, commercial traffic, etc.

8. Know the weather forecast before you. The Great Lakes Observing System of in-water buoys at https://www.glos.us reports periodic real-time wind speed in knots, water temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, and wave height in feet.

Swiftly moving weather fronts can cause open water, wind, and wave conditions and temperature to change quickly. The NOAA Great Lakes Observing System Boaters View Forecast can be set up to provide an alert when conditions are likely to change.

Paint Part 1:

An Honest Paint Review

Contributing Writer

One purpose of this column, is to give unbiased reviews on different recipes, home products and various other things pertaining to family life.

My husband and I have been married for eight years now, and have lived in three different homes together.

Throughout these past eight years, we have tackled countless painting projects, and that sometimes lengthy process of picking colors.

While living in this house, I have purposed to pick colors that flow well together and compliment each other from room to room.

This isn’t necessarily a new concept, by any means, but we are approaching it differently than we had been in the past.

For example, if you are choosing a color for a room that has more than one doorway leading into another room, invest in the sample size paint, and paint around each doorway to make sure that you are going to like that rooms’ new paint color with the existing paint colors in your home.

If there was one, number one rule, that I had to pick myself for painting projects, this would be it. Before you commit to an entire gallon or more of paint, be absolutely certain that it’s your new favorite color for whatever room you are painting.

Go ahead and buy that tester. If spending three to seven dollars keeps you from making a thirty to sixty dollar mistake, (and countless hours of time wasted) then by all means, do it.

I have done so with (almost) every room in this house, and I am so glad I did.

If you really just aren’t sure about a color, then leave a decent amount of it on your walls for about a week before making the decision.

In our house, though, you can usually go with your gut instinct.

See how the light affects the color throughout the day, and then decide.

Recently, as in last week, I painted our living room.

When we first moved into our new house, every single room had been freshly painted in either tan or pale yellow paint.

The thought of moving into something that was basically a clean slate was very exciting for us, and I was so grateful that the person who had flipped our house had taken the time to paint in neutral colors.

Fast forward two years.

I am still grateful for the nearly-neutral paint colors, but I need something to break up all the yellow.

Yellow is actually one of my favorite colors, especially for interior paint, but one can only handle so much yellow.

The process of picking out a paint color took a while.

Some free time on Pinterest, some paint swatches, and ultimately some advice from the local hardware store owner, (Thanks Mr. Scudder!) led us to the perfect color for our living room.

I knew we wanted something warm and cozy, because that’s what living rooms should be!

This was also my third time using Benjamin Moore paint.

Usually I go with Glidden, because the price is great and unlike so many other people, I really, and I mean really, do not prefer to use Behr paint.

I just don’t enjoy it for whatever reason, and yes, I have used it multiple times. At least five or more to be precise.

I wanted something durable (because, toddlers) and something that would have a beautiful finish to it, There aren’t too many rooms in the home where you

are given the opportunity to stare at the walls for long periods of time, not like the living room.

Side note… I don’t spend too much time doing that, but enjoying interior design, does result in me staring at walls from time to time.

The first two times using Benjamin Moore left such an impression on me, making it easy to decide to go with this more expensive choice.

Agree or disagree, you get what you pay for with paint.

Benjamin Moore has a superior quality to it, and you can absolutely tell the difference once it’s on the wall.

Honestly, I probably won’t spend another dollar on anything but this brand from now on.

There’s also the fact that buying Benjamin Moore paint supports local business, something that is personally important to me.

To wrap things up, here are some before and after pictures for you to enjoy, and there may be some more in the future as we are still working on various projects around this house, some involving the living room.

As always, thanks for reading, and happy painting from HBK!

balance out the saturation or anything here, and there are just too many variables for the amount of sunlight each window might get at any given point throughout the day.

Our living room has lots of windows, but a good majority of them are within a porch.

This makes a big difference from raw, unfiltered sunlight.

Still enough natural light for balance, though.

Unless you are planning an entire room makeover, take into consideration the colors already at play within your space.

All of our trim is bright white, and due to living in an older, historical house, one whole wall is trim and windows.

The classic Greek Revival framing takes up 95% of the back wall in our living room, which is all painted in a glossy, classic white.

This makes the room appear much brighter, all the time, no matter what.

It’s also one of my very favorite features of our house, and one that the darker paint color accentuated greatly.

Wood trim would be an entirely different scenario.

We also have all white curtains, and while our couches aren’t exactly a bright color, they are most certainly not dark.

All of these factors together, made a perfect canvas for a darker paint color.

Again, like stated in the other article, never pass up the chance to sample a paint color first. If you are even a little un-

certain about a deep color, give yourself the chance to make a fair decision first.

I included a picture of our paint test in my other article.

Just the section around our main entryway to view the contrast with our dining room.

You may also notice our sweet little pup, Lucy, in one of the pictures…

View that paint at various times during the day. Try opening your blinds a little more if you need to!

If you are painting over another strong color, you may want to do a primer test as well.

Using a small amount of primer, swatch the wall in one square, allow to dry, and then paint your sample over top.

Right next to this test, paint your sample color directly on top of the existing paint color.

Allow to dry for recommended drying time listed on the paint can, and then decide if you are going to need to prime or not.

Our original paint color was so light, and the new color was so saturated that it wasn’t necessary for us.

Most paints nowadays have super coverage anyways, but primer creates a blank slate that will prevent any tainting your new color.

You are ready to pick your color now. If you have a great painting project to share with us, we love before and after photos!

As always, thanks for reading, and happy painting from HBK!

New Resources Critical for Stroke Recovery Contributed Article NewsUSA

The American Heart Association/ American Stroke Association (AHA/ ASA), the world's leading voluntary organization dedicated to building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke has developed new stroke rehabilitation tools for healthcare professionals and clinical providers, to help stroke patients achieve the best recovery outcomes and quality of life possible.

The tools, which are developed through the AHA/ASA's Together to End Stroke initiative, leverage recommendations from the first-ever, AHA/ASA issued Adult Stroke Rehabilitation and Recovery Guidelines for healthcare providers, and call for intensive, multidisciplinary treatment.

The Healthcare Provider tool-kit includes recommendations in the following areas (and more): • The Rehab Program • Prevention and Medical Management of Comorbidities • Transition in Care and Commu-

nity Interventions The Patient and Caregiver toolkit is also available and includes: • Patient guide to making good rehab decisions, such as what to expect in medical rehab and how to choose the right rehab facility.

• Patient quick sheet to rehab planning to ask the right questions at the hospital, before discharge, for

rehab providers and questions family members should be asking.

Together to End Stroke, which is nationally sponsored by Kindred Rehabilitation Services, elevates awareness that stroke is largely beatable through high-quality rehabilitation, patient support and implementation of the AHA/ASA's Stroke Rehabilitation and Recovery Guidelines.

"The science of stroke rehabilitation is advancing rapidly, due to the development of new technology, and stroke outcomes are improving as a result," says Dr. Mitchell Elkind, chair of the American Stroke Association and professor of Neurology and Epidemiology at Columbia University.

Stroke is a leading cause of serious disability. But there's increasing evidence that rehabilitation can have a big impact on a survivors' quality of life. In many cases, survivors regain skills and return to independent living. However, many survivors do not receive the appropriate level and amount of rehabilitation services needed to maximize recovery.

"Stroke is largely preventable, increasingly treatable, and, now more than ever, beatable. With the AHA/ASA and its alliances putting more strategic efforts in place, all of us can provide better care, which can translate into fewer stroke recurrences and less disability in stroke survivors," says Elkind.

antiviral drugs. These medications are most effective when given early. People who are over 65 years should get a pneumococcal vaccine since flu increases your risk for developing pneumonia.

There are two vaccines designed specifically for people 65 and older: The high dose vaccine is designed specifically for people 65 and older and contains 4 times the amount of antigen as the regular flu shot. It is associated with a stronger immune response and higher antibody production. Studies showed that adults 65 years and older who received the high dose vaccine had 24% fewer influenza infections. Flu vaccines are often updated each season to keep up with changing viruses and also immunity wanes over a year so annual vaccination is needed to ensure the best possible protection. Immunity from vaccination takes effect in about two weeks.

While there are other ways besides injection to administer flu vaccine these days, the CDC states “People 65 years of age and older should not get the nasal spray flu vaccine, the intradermal flu shot, or jet injector flu vaccine.” For more information about the flu, visit the CDC at www.cdc.gov/flu/about/ disease/65over.htm or the NYS DOH website at www. health.ny.gov/diseases/communicable/influenza/seasonal.

4 Things Vets and Service Members Need to Know When Buying a Home Contributed Article StatePoint

If you’re a veteran, reservist or active duty service member, it’s important to know that there are special benefits you may be eligible for when buying a home.

“Veterans and service members have earned the opportunity to become homeowners, and it’s crucial that they are well-informed about the benefits and options available to them,” says Greg Murray, military mortgage program manager at Wells Fargo, who is also a U.S. Navy veteran.

To help, Murray has identified the top four things to know when buying a home.

• There are special financial education resources designed for military personnel and veterans. Take advantage of these free online resources so you can be a savvier home shopper. For example, Wells Fargo’s Hands on Banking for Military, which offers courses on topics like banking basics and smart spending, also contains a comprehensive guide on home-buying.

• Before assuming you won’t qualify for a loan, talk to a lender. Be sure to tell the lender that you have served or are currently serving in the military.

They can inform you about the options available to you, such as a Veteran’s Administration (VA) loan. A VA loan is a home loan guaranteed by the federal government, designed to help those who’ve served in the military obtain

homeownership. They can sometimes be obtained with zero down payment.

Gifts or grants can be used to help cover down payment and closing costs, subject to program requirements, and no mortgage insurance is required.

• A large portion of qualified buyers aren’t taking advantage of the low-to-no-down-payment mortgage options available through VA loans.

Indeed, more than 21 million veterans and service members live in the U.S., however, over the past five years, a mere 6 percent of them bought a home using a VA home loan, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs. This may be due to the common myth that active duty service members, National Guard members and reservists are not eligible for VA loans (in fact, they may be eligible).

Many also are unaware that unmarried, surviving spouses of veterans who died as a result of service or servicerelated causes are also eligible.

• Individual banks, not the Department of Veterans Affairs, offer VA loans, allowing you to work with a lender who understands your needs and makes you feel comfortable.

“A specialized team member who understands unique military needs, such as a Wells Fargo Military Lending Specialist, can help you make the most of the home loan benefits you’ve earned,” says Murray.

Developing a relationship with this lender is also a good idea, as you may later choose to refinance through the

• Categorize: Assign and color-code dedicated areas for each type of item -- tools, decorations, lawn equipment, etc. -- to avoid the hassle of searching.

• Allow room to grow. While it can be tempting to stuff every square inch, try to leave room for future additions. To ensure everything deserves the space it’s occupying, do a yearly purge of unneeded or unused items.

PepsiCo Recycling Contest Fuels Sustainability on College Campuses Consider using your lawn mower to mulch your leaves right into your lawn this fall. Don’t bag your leaves. nutrients in the leaves will be released by decomposition back into the ground and then reused by the trees and grass as nourishment. It’s free fertilizer!

If you are a village or city resident, mulching your leaves can also help keep municipal costs down since it reduces the amount of leaves the public works department needs to haul away.

Never rake, blow or dump your leaves into the street, storm drain, or any waterway. Leaves that get swept into Chautauqua Lake or another body of water will cause excess organic material to accumulate. The nutrients in this swimming next summer.

Have too many leaves to mulch? Composting your leaves can provide all natural fertilizer for your garden next spring. Please consider composting or mulching your leaves this year, and get on board for healthy waters!

For the second year in a row, PepsiCo is going beyond store shelves to make a real difference on college and university campuses by giving students the chance to win up to $10,000 in funding to implement new sustainability initiatives or improve existing efforts in their communities.

The Zero Impact Fund (ZIF), which launched in August 2016, provides cash prizes for college and university sustainability projects related to energy, waste or water that aim to achieve long-term environmental, economic and social impacts.

In its first year, ZIF awarded cash prizes to eight schools chosen from more than 40 applications. Awarded proposals from last year included campus bike share, composting and solar energy programs. Now in its second year, the program is planning to significantly in-

crease the amount of funding available in order to make an impact on more campuses.

PepsiCo Recycling encourages students (with the help of a professor or school administrator), staff and faculty to submit their ideas for campus sustainability and zero-impact initiatives. Application submissions are open September 19 through December 19, 2017.

Proposals will be evaluated by a PepsiCo Recycling committee, which will consider factors such as environmental and social impact, longevity, ingenuity, desirability and feasibility.

PEPSICO RECYCLING CONTEST FUELS SUSTAINABILITY ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18

Protecting the planet is a key pillar of PepsiCo's "Performance with Purpose" agenda. PepsiCo Recycling is an initiative that brings this mission to life with the goal of helping increase the U.S. beverage-container recycling rate to a significantly higher level.

PepsiCo Recycling drives this impact by offering recycling programming and solutions for colleges and universities and K-12 schools, and by making recycling convenient for communities. Since 2010, more than 100 colleges and universities have partnered with PepsiCo Recycling on sustainability programs.

For more information about how PepsiCo's Zero Impact Fund can improve sustainability on college campuses, or to apply, visit: PepsiCoRecycling.com

As the high school and college football seasons heat up, the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE) is encouraging parents, coaches and athletes to refresh their knowledge on helmet safety and safe play.

Keep these three simple steps in mind: 1. Know Your Helmet There are no concussion-proof helmets. No football helmet completely prevents all head injuries, including concussions.

A concussion is a complex event that involves a variety of factors. Advertising or other media claims that a particular helmet is anti-concussion or concussionproof are not supported by research and can be misleading and dangerous.

Avoid relying on any single data point, rating or measurement when considering helmet options.

Proper fit is critical. Helmets are designed for safety and performance based on proper fit, specifically contact with the head. Ask your athlete how the helmet feels -- helmets should not be too tight or too loose. Find fitting and wearing instructions through the CDC Foundation at: www.cdcfoundation.org/ HeadsUp. Look for the logo on the back of the helmet that reads, "Meets NOCSAE Standard." The NOCSAE logo signifies that a helmet model has passed the

most rigorous, science-based performance standards in the world.

Do not alter or change your football helmet. Adding accessories and removing padding can alter how the helmet was intended to function and potentially interfere with its performance.

2. Maintain Your Helmet Helmets should be reconditioned and recertified to the NOCSAE standard on a regular basis. Helmets that have been recertified will have a label inside the helmet indicating the name of the recertifying company and the date of recertification. If you have doubts, ask your coach or school administrator about their policy for reconditioning and recertification.

Replace the helmet after 10 years.

3. Prioritize Safe Play Football helmets are just one part of helping to protect against head injuries. Use proper blocking and tackling techniques and demand enforcement of rules that prohibit players from leading with their helmets to hit other players.

Know the signs and symptoms of concussions -- which can include headache, nausea, confusion, dizziness and memory difficulties -- and encourage everyone to report any and all symptoms. If a concussion has been diagnosed, athletes should not return to play until cleared by medically trained experts following return-to-play guidelines. Remember: if in doubt, sit it out.

For more information visit www.NOCSAE.org.

Comedy takes a turn on stage when Rockefeller Arts Center presents The Second City Touring Company: Cure for the Common Comedy on Friday, Oct. 27 at 7:30 p.m. in King Concert Hall at the State University of New York at Fredonia.

Over the years, alumni gradually commented on Second City’s reputation for inspiring top comedic talent. By the 1980s, Second City had opened a company in Toronto for a new era of innovation in improvisation.

The Second City continues to produce media in television and film as an entertainment company, in addition to live performances. Second City Training Centers are located in Chicago, Toronto, and Los Angeles, four touring companies perform in North America and abroad, and Second City Communications provides improve-based methods to the corporate sector.

The Second City Touring Company: Cure for the Common Comedy is presented as part of the Lake Shore Savings Season. This performance may contain adult subject matter.

Sabres Repeat Their Mistakes in Loss to Devils Contributed Article Sabres.com

Coming home from a loss to the New York Islanders on Saturday, the Buffalo Sabres knew which aspects of their game they'd have to clean up if they were to earn their first win of the season against the New Jersey Devils. Turnovers, execution on the power play and winning battles were among them.

Instead, their performance against New Jersey was in many ways a mirror image of what transpired in Brooklyn. A lopsided second period, ignited by a shorthanded goal for the opposition, resulted in a Sabres goaltender being pulled and paved the way for a 6-2 Devils victory.

"I just think our effort was unacceptable," Sabres coach Phil Housley said. "This game is a game of mistakes and it just seems like we're making key mistakes at times of the game that are ending up in our net. Even saying that, our resiliency has to be better. We're faced with adversity and we're not facing it the right way.

"It's funny because you can have a game plan, you can have strategy, but it starts with the work. It's so hard in this league to win. Every team is very good and everybody's fighting for something. We have to understand that, how hard it is to win."

Jesper Bratt and Marcus Johansson scored two goals apiece for the Devils. Stefan Noesen and Brian Gibbons also added goals, while Nico Hischier tallied an assist for his first NHL point.

For the second straight game, Buffalo's woes were the products of turnovers and missed execution. Of the Devil's four goals in the second period, two were scored on odd-man rushes stemming out of the offensive zone. The other two were products of defensive-zone turnovers.

The period had actually begun with the first of two goals on the night for Evander Kane, a fantastic individual effort that cut a 2-0 deficit in half 5:02 into the period. Kane outraced two Devils to a loose puck in the neutral zone and drew a slashing call as he drove to the net and scored off the backhand.

That goal could have been a turning point in the Buffalo's favor.

Instead, Adam Henrique fed Bratt on a 2-on-1 rush for a shorthanded goal less than 20 seconds later. The Sabres have now allowed four shorthanded goals in three games, matching their total from a season ago.

"If you look at the goals, they're all odd-man rushes," Kane said.

"So either we're misreading plays or jumping at the wrong time or not being strong on the puck. We have to clean those obviously. Those are killers."

Once Bratt scored, the period began to snowball. Taylor Hall stripped Nathan Beaulieu to set up Johansson's first goal, and Andy Greene intercepted a breakout pass on the blue line to set up Bratt's second. Later in the period, Bratt fed Johansson on yet another 2-on-1 rush.

The last two games have been particularly difficult for Beaulieu, who caused the turnover that led to John Tavares' shorthanded goal in New York in addition to his turnover on Johansson's goal. He made no excuses when speaking after the game.

"I just feel like I need to be better," Beaulieu said. "You have a good first period, you come out, you make a dumb play and it ends up in the back of your net. It's just those little plays that get yourself in trouble. It's no excuse, I've just got to be better."

Housley, a former defenseman himself, sympathized with Beaulieu's struggles.

"I think Nate's a very proud guy," Housley said. "I feel for Nate right now, because I've been in his position as a player where it's tough, it's mentally tough. You make some mistakes in backto-back games and especially at home, it's very hard to fight through if you're in his shoes. He's a battler, he'll handle it the right way. He'll come to work and try to move forward."

But Beaulieu certainly wasn't alone when it came to a lack of execution. Housley called on his team to do a better job of absorbing pressure in the defensive zone, and said their lack of shots (the Sabres only had 25 against Cory Schneider) stemmed from mistakes on the breakout, be it poor passes by the defensemen or a lack of support by the forwards.

Constant pressure and odd-man rushes forced Housley to pull Robin Lehner midway through the second period on Saturday and Chad Johnson following two periods on Monday. Johnson allowed six goals on 22 shots prior to being relieved by Lehner at the start of the third period.

"I think the work part of it is competing and coming to play and playing for 60 minutes," Housley said. "We'll have spurts in our game where we look really, really good and then there's other areas where we're not getting back or a breakout, we're not giving our defensemen an out in the neutral zone or were not winning a race to the loose pucks and that's work and effort.

"But I think we've got to figure out those parts of our game as a group moving forward here, and hopefully the sooner the better."

Golfer's

D i a ry

Riding Solo Until this week.

Nick changed jobs and was training on first shift. I had the day off. My newborn son had just eaten and passed out. I needed a round of golf to write about When I first started playing golf five years ago, I used for this article. It was the perfect storm for a round to play solo rounds all the time. There were several of solo golf. Oh, and don’t worry, my wife was home reasons for that. with our son. I’m not THAT addicted to golf.

First and foremost, I wanted to improve my skills.

So despite fairly heavy rains overnight, I went out Having always been a good athlete, it was driving to Hillview Golf Course in Fredonia to play a quick me crazy that I wasn’t immediately able to hit the nine. Kathy, the extremely sweet owner, was in the ball like the other guys I played with. You know, the clubhouse and let me know they were aerating the guys that had been golfing for 20+ years. That’s a fair greens, but that didn’t really bother me. I wasn’t there comparison, right? Either way, it was motivation to to shoot the round of my life or anything. I just went go out there and work on some things – notable my in knowing that I shouldn’t take putts too seriously. short game.

No problem.

The other reason I used to play solo so often was that I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed I just really enjoyed it. At the time I was working a playing alone…for about five holes. Nothing dramatic goofy 5 p.m. to about 1 a.m. shift. It was terrible for changed after that. I actually played quite well, shootmy social life, but great for playing golf during the ing a 43 for the day despite some extra putts from day. I’d never use a cart back then, either, so I’d get the aerated greens. It just got, frankly, boring. There to play golf, enjoy the fresh air and get some exercise. was no one to laugh with. No one to shoot the breeze Plus there was no one else there to witness my embar- with. As much as I love the physical game of golf, the rassing shots – that was back when I didn’t know that companionship is absolutely part of the appeal. everyone has shots like that sometimes.

Also, I’m now a rural mail carrier for the USPS. All A job change and an increase in the number of “golf- I do all day is drive around by myself. It’s not exactly ing buddies” I had helped put an end to the solo golf what I want to do in my leisure time. portion of my life. My cousin Nick went solo several times this year, but this is also just his first full season That said, I’m glad I went out. It’ll actually help me better appreciate the next time that Nick (or Matt, as a golfer, so he’s exactly where I was back then. As Chris, Uncle Eddie, etc.) and I are able to tee it up for me, I never really felt the urge to play by myself. together.

By Stefan Gestwicki

Star Contributing Writer

I’ll end with a little bit of trivia. Do you know why it’s necessary for golf courses to aerate their greens?

If you’ve played enough golf, you’ve probably seen the rows of holes punched into the once-pristine surface of the green. You might have even been frustrated trying to play on that green, not knowing what’s going on. Well, it’s probably simpler than you think. It’s just a matter of letting the roots of the grass “breathe.” The soil gets very compact in these areas and the aeration is a necessary step in keeping the grass alive. That’s my understanding of it anyway. If you have more information, please pass it along.

We’re getting into the middle of October already, but don’t put those clubs in the basement quite yet. I’m sure we’ll get a couple more bonus days and when those happen, you’ll want to take advantage of them.

I know I will.

Until then, golf is great. Go get some.

Kia's "tiger nose" grille, meanwhile, just has a couple small protrusions from the bottom and the top -- and yet it gives the cars a surprisingly unique look.

And then there's Volvo. Although Volvo grille design varies from car to car, Volvo's vehicles are still easily recognizable with the diagonal line (containing the

Volvo emblem) crossing the grille. No matter how Volvo's grilles are shaped, few will forget the Volvo grille design.
