CASAC To Hold Recovery Walk in Two Locations Contributed Article CASAC

The Chautauqua Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Council, HOPE Chautauqua, Mental Health Association of Chautauqua County, WCA Hospital, Department of Mental Hygiene, TLC Health Network, Infinity Visual & Performing Arts, Salvation Army and United Christian Advocacy Network are co-sponsoring two Recovery Walks.

The Recovery Walks are a collaborative event being held in conjunction with September as National Recovery Month with the goal to promote awareness, educate the community, remember those who have lost their fight with addiction, and those who are still struggling with addiction.

On Tuesday, September 27, a recovery walk will begin at CASAC's Jamestown Office, 501 W. Third St. at 4 p.m. and proceed through downtown Jamestown ending at Infinity Visual & Performing Arts, 301 E. Second St., Jamestown.

CASAC’s first Recovery Walk in the North County will be held on Thursday, September 29. This walk will start at CASAC’s Dunkirk Office, 324 Central Avenue, Dunkirk and end at the Salvation Army, 704 Central Avenue, Dunkirk.

A brief video, “Hope & Healing for Chautauqua”, will be shown at both events. The video is a local documentary created by Kranky Plate Productions through conversations with local residents who continue to find new ways of dealing with the ongoing epidemic of drug use. The film reframes the conversation to look at collaborative efforts that are making a positive change for a healthier Chautauqua County. For those not wishing to walk, or if it is raining, the video will begin at 4:45 p.m. at both locations.

The Awareness Theatre Alumni will be presenting a skit on recovery in the South County and Jeffrey Thomas will be a keynote speaker for the North County event. Both events are free of charge and open to the public.

Recovery Month, now in its 27th year, highlights individuals who have reclaimed their lives and are living happy and healthy lives in long-term recovery.

It also honors the prevention, treatment and recovery service providers who make recovery possible. Recovery Month promotes the message that recovery in all its forms is possible, and also encourages citizens to take action to help expand and improve the availability of effective prevention, treatment, and recovery services for those in need; provide hope to those still suffering, and to honor those who have died.

The Weekly Word

YOU ARE THE CAPTAIN OF YOUR FUTURE

Rev. Timothy Stahlman Family Church Jamestown fcjamestown.org

Here is one of the greatest misconceptions of all time: You are where you are because of God's sovereignty and the circumstances around you are what God willed for you. Not necessarily! Many people are in places and doing things that God never intended for them to do. Many people today are making decisions completely apart from God. When you realize that this earth is filled with many things that God never intended, you will start to understand why the world is the way it is.

Just because God knew something was going to happen doesn't mean that it was His highest and best intentions.

God only has "good will towards all men." (Luke

2:14) If that is the intention of God, why do bad things happen?

God has a great plan for every human life. But that plan completely depends on our own participation with the Gospel. In short, you must understand that you have a voice. Your voice either agrees with God or disagrees with Him. Your voice either resembles God's tone of redemption or it resonates defeat. Your voice is either a bugle that signals the charge or the cry that rallies retreat.

Your voice is the instrument God gave you to make your life beautiful. It has nothing to do with your ability to sing.

It has everything to do with the note of victory you speak. Didn't Christ die to make us kings? (Rev 1:6) Then why would we talk like slaves? Didn't Christ die to make us children of God? ( John 1:12) Then why do we talk like servants? Stop waiting for God to do something.

He has done something and now it's your turn.

James 3:4-5 says, "Likewise, look at the ships: though they are so great and are driven by rough winds, they are steered by a very small rudder WHEREVER THE HELMSMAN DETERMINES...EVEN

SO THE TONGUE is a small body part that can speak great things..."

Your tongue has incredible power. It is the rudder of your life. God doesn't take you somewhere automatically: You must be the helmsman! The winds might be rough but they can't steer you! The waves might pound on you but you still have the helm.

You don't like the direction things are heading?

Then change course!

Decree the change.

Speak the difference.

We are not floating aimlessly with God upon a confused sea. This is why the world is the way it is: People have given voice to the wrong plan.

They have decreed something other than God's plan. They have loaned their voice to wickedness and destruction has followed. But here is the good news: You aren't subject to how someone else steers their life! You don't have to follow the same course of failure. Just because their ship sank in the storm doesn't mean yours will too.

Job 22:28 says, "You shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto you and the light shall shine upon your ways." Your decree becomes your future.

Make it a bright one!

12 LABOR DAY

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2016

The History of Labor Day Contributed Article US Department of Labor

Machinists in Paterson, N.J., proposed the holiday in 1882 while serving as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York. What is clear is that the Central Labor Union adopted a Labor Day proposal and appointed a committee to plan a demonstration and picnic.

The First Labor Day The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, in accordance with the plans of the Central Labor Union. The Central Labor Union held its second Labor Day holiday just a year later, on September 5, 1883.

In 1884 the first Monday in September was selected as the holiday, as originally proposed, and the Central Labor Union urged similar organizations in other cities to follow the example of New York and celebrate a "workingmen's holiday" on that date. The idea spread with the growth of labor organizations, and in 1885 Labor Day was celebrated in many industrial centers of the country.

A Nationwide Holiday The form that the observance and celebration of Labor Day should take was outlined in the first proposal of the holiday — a street parade to exhibit to the public "the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations" of the community, followed by a festival for the recreation and amusement of the workers and their families. This became the pattern for the celebrations of Labor Day. Speeches by prominent men and women were introduced later, as more emphasis was placed upon the economic and civic significance of the holiday. Still later, by a resolution of the American Federation of Labor convention of 1909, the Sunday preceding Labor Day was adopted as Labor Sunday and dedicated to the spiritual and educational aspects of the labor movement.

The character of the Labor Day celebration has undergone a change in recent years, especially in large industrial centers where mass displays and huge parades have proved a problem.

This change, however, is more a shift in emphasis and medium of expression.

Labor Day addresses by leading union officials, industrialists, educators, cler-

Labor Day: What it Means Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.

Labor Day Legislation Through the years the nation gave increasing emphasis to Labor Day. The first governmental recognition came through municipal ordinances passed during 1885 and 1886. From these, a movement developed to secure state legislation. The first state bill was introduced into the New York legislature, but the first to become law was passed

by Oregon on February 21, 1887. During the year four more states — Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York — created the Labor Day holiday by legislative enactment. By the end of the decade Connecticut, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania had followed suit.

By 1894, 23 other states had adopted the holiday in honor of workers, and on June 28 of that year, Congress passed an act making the first Monday in September of each year a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the territories.

Founder of Labor Day More than 100 years after the first Labor Day observance, there is still some doubt as to who first proposed the holiday for workers.

Some records show that Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a cofounder of the American Federation of Labor, was first in suggesting a day to honor those "who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold."

But Peter McGuire's place in Labor Day history has not gone unchallenged.

Many believe that Matthew Maguire, a machinist, not Peter McGuire, founded the holiday. Recent research seems to support the contention that Matthew Maguire, later the secretary of Local 344 of the International Association of CONTINUED ON PAGE 13

The vital force of labor added materially to the highest standard of living and the greatest production the world has ever known and has brought us closer to the realization of our traditional ideals of economic and political democracy.

JHS’ Quinones Represents NYS in National FBLA Competition Contributed Article JHS

Jamestown High School 2016 graduate, Erros Quinones, recently represented New York State at the National Future Business Leaders of America National Leadership Conference in Atlanta, GA. Mr. Quinones competed in the Impromtu Speaking category along with 101 other contestants from across the nation. Mr. Quinones’ trip, along with his FBLA advisor Sheila McIntyre to the national competition, was made possible due to donations from the JPS PROMISE Fund, the JHS 100 Member Club, the Jamestown Teachers Association ( JTA) and a Go Fund Me account that Erros setup. The JPS PROMISE Fund donated $800, the JHS 100 Member Club contributed $750 and the JTA provided $100. Erros raised $150 through GoFundMe. “I am so thankful to the PROMISE Fund, the 100 Member Club, the JTA and anyone who donated to GoFundMe,” said Erros. “I wasn’t certain I would be able to go to Atlanta due to financial and other considerations and the donation came exactly at the right time to help me travel to the FBLA National Competition. It was so awesome that the community helped me out and it was such a great experience.

Going to the National FBLA Competition showed me that I could go against the best of the best in the nation and, in

spite of challenges, if you want something badly enough you can find a way to achieve your goal.”

To qualify for the national competition, Erros, placed fifth in Impromtu Speaking category at the Future Business Leaders of America’s New York State Leadership Conference in Rochester. Normally, the top four winners go on to the national competition, however, a few winners were unable to attend so Erros was moved up to second place allowing him to attend the national event.

Erros’ Impromtu Speech topic at the national competition was “Is it okay to tell a white lie or is truth always the best policy?” He had 10 minutes to prepare a four to five minute speech for the judges. He will receive a rating sheet for his performance in the near future.

“It was such a great experience for Erros,” said Mrs. McIntyre. “He has such a good business

head on his shoulders and to have the opportunity to network with students from across the nation and visit local attractions in Atlanta such as the Human Rights Museum is an opportunity that he may not have been able to do with out the help of our community. We are so thankful to all that donated to help Erros attend the conference.”

“We were so thrilled to help Erros make his dream come true,” said Dr. Lillian Ney from the JPS PROMISE Fund and Birgitta Hofert from the JHS 100 Member Club. “It is great that the two groups, along with the Jamestown Teachers Association, were able to come together for the benefit of a Jamestown student. It is gratifying to see all the organizations working together to help our students achieve their goals and try new experiences.”

Erros will attend Jamestown Community College in the fall with plans to study engineering.

Audubon Offering Workshop in Mushroom Identification Contributed Article Audubon Nature Center

Mushrooms are popping up all over. There are red ones, green ones, and even purples ones. Some are edible. Some have deadly poison.

On Wednesday evening, September 14, the Audubon Nature Center is presenting Mushroom Mania, a workshop where you can discover the wonderful world of mushrooms and learn more about them.

Mushrooms can be hard to identify. This 6-8 p.m. class will showcase some good field guides, describe what to look for to identify a mushroom, and feature a foray on the trails to find and identify a variety of mushrooms.

Workshop instructor is Garrett Taylor, a dedicated mushroom hunter with years of experience finding and eating mushrooms. He recently discovered a new species of mushroom in Cattaraugus County and continues to expand his mushroom knowledge.

Participants should expect to walk over a mile while looking for mushrooms. You are advised to wear sturdy shoes for walking and use bug repellent. If you have a camera to help you remember the mushrooms you see, it is a good tool for learning.

Cost of the class is $16 or $12 for Friends of the Nature Center.

Class size is limited and

N.C.C.S. Receives Prestigious Grant Award

Contributed Article N.C.C.S.

Dunkirk’s Northern Chautauqua Catholic School is the recipient of a prestigious grant award from the Foundation of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Buffalo for the 2016-2017 school year. The grant funds will be used to begin to implement a new project titled “Raising the Light,” a multi-faceted plan to enhance the school’s program and its partnership with the surrounding community.

The project is intended to build and maintain a center for educational resources; to provide relevant professional development; to raise student awareness of vocations; to assist families in fulfilling their role as primary educators; and to advocate for active student participation in the parish and surrounding community as preparation for responsible citizenship.

The Northern Chautauqua Catholic School has a long and distinguished history, and offers a complete and well-rounded co-educational program for students in grades Pre-k through 8, taught by New York State certified professional educators. Outstanding results on New York State Assessment tests reflect that students are self-disciplined, motivated, responsible, and creative.

In addition to providing instruction in the core curriculum, the school features special classes in computer science, art, physical education, foreign language, and music at all grade levels. Instrumental lessons are available beginning in Grade 4. Extra curricular activities including basketball, baseball, softball, the school musical, Mission Club, Chess Team, and an after school program are all an important part of student life at Northern Chautauqua Catholic School. Parental involvement is encouraged.

The most important aspect of the educational program at Northern Chautauqua Catholic School is reflected in the school motto: “Learning in Christ’s Image.”

The school’s religious education program is enhanced by student attendance at weekly liturgy, student planning and participation in para liturgies, and other related activities.

Beth Moore To Live Simulcast in Mayville Contributed Article Susan Teets

“Come as you are!” is the invitation extended by internationally acclaimed Bible teacher Beth Moore to ladies worldwide.

Moore will be speaking live in Chicago on Saturday, September 17 to a packed house of followers of Christ. Her presentation will be simulcast all over the world to women coming together in churches, assembly halls, classrooms and in their own homes.

You are invited to join the women gathering at the Chautauqua Inn and Suites in Mayville at 9:00 a.m. to participate in Moore’s simulcast.

Susan Teets, local coordinator of this global event, has a heart for the Mayville Chautauqua community and bringing people to Christ. Teets said, “Everyone is invited! It will be a time of worship, fellowship and encouragement in God’s Word.” She is hopeful to fill the Suites’ Meeting and Expo Hall with 200 women who will learn from Moore’s teaching, open their Bibles, sing, pray and laugh together. “We are praying that married and single ladies, grandmothers, new Moms, business women and teens will fill the seats to learn Bible truths and praise the Lord.

Women who are brand new to Christ, curious about Him, or lifelong believers will benefit from this one day seminar.”

Registration of $15 includes the simulcast, box lunch, coffee breaks and materials. Teets is working with a team of ladies representing area churches who are eager to welcome and serve those attending. Registration forms are available online at www.maycbc.com/

Ministries/bethmooreseminar.html or by calling Teets at 969-6167. She welcomes any questions as well.

Beth Moore’s Bible Studies are well known in Chautauqua County. Local churches have hosted her studies focused on Jesus, Daniel, Esther, David, The Patriarchs, and Psalms to name a few. Moore’s goal

to help women come to know the love of Christ by increasing Bible literacy is valued and respected.

“Please come and join us for this special event that is being presented as a community wide gathering to be inspired, learn, worship and lift up the name of Jesus,” Teets enthused. “Get ready to be blessed!”

Back to School

By Katy Wise Contributing Writer

In just a couple of weeks, kiddos will be heading back to school again, and routines will go back to normal.

Or at least start to go back to normal.

I don't know about you, but our summer 'routine' looks nothing like our school routine.

The next couple of weeks will be spent easing our way back into a school appropriate bed time.

Which will be a slight challenge.

One of the best things about summer is not having to think about what time the kids need to wake up in the morning or go to bed at night.

Even with just one kid in school, our routine needs to apply to all three kids so that things run smoothly.

This means our typical breakfast, pack lunch, get dressed, off to school, home from school, snack, homework, dinner, bath, reading, bed routine.

I'm writing it down to help it sink in! Surely that will help us.

So what are some ways to make this easier?

Well for starters, easing into it and not jumping right back in.

We have slowly, but steadily been moving back towards our normal bed time. Even if it's just a couple of minutes earlier than the night before.

Kids don't sleep when they aren't tired. Has anyone else noticed this?

Putting them to bed an hour earlier than they have been for two months doesn't usually go so smoothly.

This is why we have been trying the tortoise method of getting back on track. There's also the whole 'mommy and daddy are tired,' thing that comes into play.

We had many late nights this summer, but that's what summer is all about.

Enjoying the weather and making memories.

I will miss summer, but I also crave routine. It's nice to have a set daily schedule.

Now as for packing lunches, I'm not sure how to get ready for that again.

We'll have to cross that bridge when we come to it.

In the meantime, it's time to label school supplies and get them all gathered up.

At this point, we have all the school supplies that we need, with the exception of things that can't be packed and set in our neat little pile just yet.

This year we were a little more creative with labeling our school supplies.

Last year was the year of the sharpie. Which there's nothing wrong with.

However, I did want a couple of water proof labels for Joshua's lunchbox and water bottle.

So I mentioned it to my husband. The main reason being, that he works in an office that does vinyl sticker printing.

Also known as Star Printed Graphics. Which is, of course, the very same 'Star' as the Chautauqua Star that you are reading right now.

Well all I wanted was a simple sticker with Joshua's name that was easy to read for other little kids.

This way if a crayon falls on the floor, everyone knows who it goes back to.

Joshua's favorite superhero is superman. Don't worry.

You'll see how this is related in just a minute.

This kid loves superman. I actually have wondered

why I bought him school clothes with anything other than superman on them because that's really all that he wears.

When he was a toddler, he actually used to introduce himself as Joshua Michael Superman Wise.

I'm quite sure he thought that was his real name for at least one year of his life.

So naturally, my husband incorporated the superman logo into these labels. In place of both of the 's's' in Joshua's first and last name.

None of these supplies will be mistaken as belonging to anyone but him.

He was very pleased with these stickers. As any fiveyear-old who is also a superhero would be.

Another great idea is the ‘first day photo.’ We used a chalk board, but you can use anything to write out ‘First day of Kindergarten’ (in our case, maybe not yours!) and snap a photo before heading to school.

It’s a great keep sake on its own, and someday you’ll have a whole great collection.

Well that's all for now! Thanks for reading and happy back to school!

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2016

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

There’s no excuse for sitting around the house doing nothing this fall.

Chautauqua County and the surrounding areas are home to some of the country’s best autumn weather, events and opportunities.

So take that significant other on a date or gather up the whole family and let’s explore just a few options the area has to offer.

HIKING It’s hard to beat Western New York’s fall weather.

The air is crisp and the foliage is unrivaled. So why not spend some time outdoors?

The first destination on your list should be Panama Rocks, located at 11 Rock Hill Road in Panama, NY. The unique landscape offers a look at some positively breathtaking geological formations along with marked trails that are suitable for children and adults alike. Take a look at what

WNY Full of Fun Fall Festivities — Part I some guests have said on the official website, www. panamarocks.com: “One of the best family experiences we have had,” Cathee53 said.

“This is a beautiful park, unlike anything I’ve seen elsewhere,” A C shared.

“Panama Rocks is like a big natural playground,” Rin Olson noted.

That high praise is certainly deserved for one of Chautauqua County’s treasures. It’s far from the only option, though. The Chautauqua Gorge State Forest, Rails to Trails and John Luensman Overview Park all offer fantastic opportunities for exercise and outdoor fun.

Another great thing about being outside in the fall? “It’s great being able to be outside without being destroyed by the insects that are out in the summer,” Mark Gestwicki noted. Too true.

APPLE PICKING Does anything say fall quite like that first bite into a ripe, crisp apple?

Picking those apples yourself can be a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Chautauqua County residents are spoiled in that there are plenty of options in terms of orchards. Abers Acres is located in Kennedy. Falcone Farms and Meadows Farms are in Forestville. Stonehill Orchards is just a short drive to North Collins.

GOLFING

Why sit on your couch when you could be picking fresh apples this fall? (Photo by Roland Weighrauch/Getty Images)

Fall golf is where it’s at.

It’s the perfect time to learn the sport if you’re new to it. Courses are often running fall specials and the courses are less crowded so you don’t have to feel the pressure of people watching and waiting for you. Yes, you might lose a ball or two in the fallen leaves, but that’s a small price to pay. Chautauqua County is home to some amazing courses. Cassadaga Country Club will afford some fantastic views of the foliage. Vineyards and Pinehurst are both positioned near grape vineyards so golfers are

treated to that sweet aroma of fresh grapes.

You really can’t go wrong with any of the area courses.

BAKING This summer was hot.

That’s not exactly a secret. It’s hard to imagine that many people turned their ovens on during the course of the past few months. The fall is the perfect time to try out all of those Pinterest recipes you’ve accumulated. It’s also the perfect time to combine baking with another entry on this list — apple picking. Apple pie.

Apple crisp. Baked apple

chips. It’s really a winning combination. Keep an eye on the Chautauqua Star’s own “Homemade by Katy” section because she’ll certainly have some good baking tips come fall.

FOOTBALL It’s impossible to talk about fall and ignore football. From pee wees to high school to the beloved Buffalo Bills, the sport is a huge part of the culture in Western New York. Admittedly, it’s probably the most fun in the early fall when fans don’t need to bundle up to enjoy the game. Don’t

have money to cover gas, parking, tickets, food, etc. at New Era Field (formerly Ralph Wilson Stadium) in Orchard Park?

Don’t fret. High school rivalry games can provide a fantastic environment in their own right. Check out a Dunkirk-Fredonia game or a clash between Jamestown and Orchard Park to get a feel for what high school football in the area can be.

Looking for more suggestions on fun fall activities? You’re in luck.

9 Reasons Why Fall is the Best Contributed Article Erica Murphy

I don’t know about you, but something happens to me when fall hits. It could be because I’m still on the school year schedule instead of the calendar year, or that the crisp fresh air fuels an energy in me, or simply because hot apple cider and all things pumpkin bring me pure joy. But it’s like I get to start over; I have a new perspective on my life; and I’m willing to challenge myself and take risks. Oh yea, and there’s these nine other awesome things that make me love fall, too: 1. Fall Fashion I’ve got one word for you: boots. They look good with everything and they’re so comfortable. You can get booties, heeled-boots, riding boots, over-the-knee boots, the possibilities are endless!

2. Fall Food I’m going to be honest with you, I could literally drink apple cider all day long. It’s probably the most delicious thing I’ve ever tasted. And let’s not even talk about spiced apple cider (or spiked, just kidding).

3. Fall Foliage A lot people think that Pennsylvania is the most boring place ever, especially for driving. But take a drive during the fall months and you’ll be mesmerized by the pure beauty (yes, I’m from there). I promise that you’ll never see hues of red, orange, and yellow quite like the leaves along the Appalachian.

4. Halloween I’m not gonna lie, I’m more

excited that Hocus Pocus will be on television basically every day instead of the actual Halloween holiday. But still, it’s a good time. Then throw in some 100 Grand Bars, Milk Duds, and Laffy Taffy and I’m sold!

5. Black Friday Shopping Despite what some may think, fall actually goes until the middle of December. Which means that the beloved (and dreaded by some) fake holiday is part of fall. I can’t exactly describe what I love so much either. It could be the chal-

lenge, that you want to beat out all the other crazies there. Or that you’re pretty much still in a food coma from Thanksgiving, so you don’t have to waste any time eating. Or maybe it’s that I always go with my Mom and I love the bonding time.

6. Movember Even thought we think it’s just a time period when men look ridiculous with their mustaches, it actually supports a greater cause. By participating in Movember, dudes are committing to raising funds to help improve the lives of men affected by prostate cancer,

testicular cancer and mental health problems. For all of you Mo Sistas (their words, not mine), you can help too by supporting the men in your life.

7. Basketball Season Yes, basketball season officially starts in the fall. Even though I do love me some football (both European and American), there’s nothing like watching my Syracuse Orangemen fly down the court in the Dome.

8. Election Day Even though some election years are more important than others, it’s still important for

women to get out and vote. We make up roughly 50 percent of the voting population, so think of all the impact we could have if we all banded together?

Check back during the month of October to find out how politics effect your life on a daily basis and why it’s important to get involved.

9. Fall Weather Being outside during the fall just makes me happy. This is exactly how I feel, except I’m yelling “chilly,” while shaking a bunch of leaves, and sitting on a bench in the good ‘ole outdoors.

If you close goes for any type of metal that has been sitting in the pool while the water’s above this temperature, the water all summer.

that reach freezing temperatures during the winter months. If the water isn’t drained or blown out it could freeze in the equipment or lines and crack.

Your cartridge filters and D.E. filter grids should be taken out and cleaned before storing them if possible.

In addition, if you have the room to store equipment indoors during the winter it’s a good idea to do so.

8-Winterize the plumbing With in ground pools, the lines from the skimmer should be blown out and then plugged at the pool.

If you aren’t able to blow the lines out you may want to add some swimming pool antifreeze to the lines.

With aboveground pools, you generally just need to disconnect all hoses that lead to the filter and pump and back and place expansion plugs in the outlets of the pool walls.

9-Keep the filter running until closing day Even if your pool isn’t being used, it’s a good idea to keep the filter running until you close it for the winter as it will help circulate the water and chemicals to keep it clean and properly balanced. You can also keep running your automatic or robotic cleaner at the same time to help fight debris from gathering at the bottom of the pool.

10-Ask for help when needed If you’re not exactly sure what you’re doing when closing a swimming pool, don’t be too shy to ask for help from a professional pool company. It may cost a few dollars now, but you could save a great deal in the long run. This is especially true for first-time pool owners. A simple mistake when winterizing the pool could prove to be a bank-buster a few months later. If you decide to hire the services of a pool professional, be sure to ask them any questions you can think of to help you in the future. They’ll be glad to give you tips and show you how to close the pool on your own the next year.

Saying Goodbye To A Legend

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

People tend to go bonkers when a celebrity dies. Suddenly everyone was the world’s biggest Prince or David Bowie fan. While I admire certain celebrities for their respective genius, I’m not one to shed a tear over their passing. This one was different for me.

Gene Wilder was and always will be my favorite actor of all time. There’s not even a close second. The man was a master at his craft. If you haven’t seen him in anything but Willie Wonka, do yourself a favor and binge watch his work. I’m the furthest thing from a film critic, but here are my top 10 Gene Wilder movies: 1. Blazing Saddles – Arguably my favorite movie of all time. An old west spoof that provides laughs from start to finish.

2. Young Frankenstein — Another Mel Brooks masterpiece in which Wilder steals the show. Quotable Watch the “blankie” scene and incredible chemistry with both lines for days and an rivaled cast. you’ll fall in love with Wilder’s Leo Madeline Kahn and Marty FeldBloom. man. Those three are at their zani3. Willie Wonka — It’s a classic est here. At the very least, watch for a reason. Wilder’s portrayal of 6. Silver Streak — The first three the Kangaroo Hop song.

4. See No Evil, Hear No Evil — Wilder’s on-screen chemistry with 7. Stir Crazy — Another Wilder10. Alice in Wonderland (TV Richard Pryor led to them becomPryor pairing that will have you movie) — This one doesn’t exing comedy’s all-time best duo. It’s laughing all the way through. It actly “star” Wilder as it’s positively close, but this one is my favorite of gets a little vulgar, but that’s kind of loaded with stars, but Wilder’s song their arsenal. what Pryor does.

Beautiful Soup is my favorite moment from the entertaining take on 5. The Producers — This was 8. The Adventures of Sherlock Lewis Carroll’s classic tale.

Wilder’s breakout role alongside Holmes’ Smarter Brother — another legend in Zero Mostel.

Besides Pryor, Wilder also had Honorable mention goes to: ‘The Wom-

an in Red’ and ‘The Frisco Kid’, both of which are still in my collection.

One of Wilder’s best-known titles is ‘Haunted Honeymoon’, which I’m embarrassed to say I don’t believe I’ve ever seen. With Wilder’s passing, that will be remedied.

If you’re into biographies, I’d also recommend reading ‘Kiss Me Like A Stranger’, in which Wilder writes about his relationships with Pryor, Brooks, Harrison Ford and more. He also discusses his marriage to the hilarious Gilda Radner. There’s a lot of good stuff in that book.

In short, I’ll miss you Gene Wilder.

To The Streets NCCYHA HOLDS 2ND ANNUAL STREET HOCKEY TOURNAMENT IN DUNKIRK

LEAVE IT TO THE

EXPERTS FOR ALL YOUR ELECTRICAL NEEDS

Fredonia | Jamestown

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

In a location usually reserved for basketball, hockey ruled supreme on Saturday at Wright Park in Dunkirk.

The Northern Chautauqua County Youth Hockey Association (NCCYHA) held its Second Annual Street Hockey Tournament on the basketball courts with athletes ranging in age from 6-12 participating in the action.

While most of the players were members of the NCCYHA leagues, there were some welcome additions from outside of ice hockey.

“It’s open to everyone,” tournament director Brian Madurski said. “We had some kids that weren’t Steelers players in both age groups.”

On perhaps the hottest day of the year, the athletes put on a show in front of several dozen parents, grandparents, siblings and other spectators.

There was even a bounce house and a hot dog cart for addition entertainment and refreshment.

“The money raised goes to the league,” Madurski explained. “This year we’re trying to get some new equipment. There’s this new quick-change goalie equipment that goes on right over their guards.

Instead of taking that whole time taking equipment on and off, if you want to switch goalies, it’s not even a five-minute change.

“We’re also looking at some training aids for the older kids,” he continued. “We have those big plastic goalies that we’re looking to upgrade.”

The tournament kicked off with a ceremo-

• Electrical troubleshooting & repair • New construction & renovation wiring • Upgrades to electrical service & circuit breaker panels • Lighting contracts to maintain inside & outside lighting • Building power back-up systems • Home generators • Pool/Jacuzzi/Spa wiring • Home theater wiring • Computer, phone & television cabling • Generac Generators

nial puck drop from Dunkirk mayor Willie Rosas, whose son played in the NCCYHA in the past.

“The mayor was very pleased to see the tournament and wants to get the city even more involved next year,” Madurski noted.

The following businesses were tournament sponsors: Fadale Enterprises Inc., Copy Boy, Exempts Fireman Association, Rookies, P*Dubs, Lakeside Club, Woodbury Pietro Surveying, Pachol Electric, Conservation Club, Graf Realty, Dom Polski’s, Kosciuszko Club, Moniuszko Club, DFT Communications, G&E Tents, Awesome Bouncers & More, Atlas Comfort Cabins and Gus’s Hotdogs. The team sponsors were DFT Communications, Fredonia Glass, Jenna’s Café and ROM Property Development.

The NCCYHA would also like to thank the following volunteers for their dedication to the event: Ed Paluch, Nick Keefe, Mike Mead and Ron Sercu.

Ranking The Quarterbacks Part I

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

The league would also like to thank the City of Dunkirk, Mayor Rosas, Councilman Marty Bamonto as well as all of the players and their families.

Quarterback is a position often in the conversation for toughest to play in all of sports. With all due respect to everyone else on the football field, the quarterback is the most important man on the field.

There are only 32 opportunities to land a starting quarterback gig in the National Football League. The top of the depth charts should feature the best of the best.

Well…some teams have it better than others. In this issue I’m going to rank the 32 starting quarterbacks from worst to best.

WANT TO IMPROVE YOUR SCORE? DON’T WASTE STROKES ON PAR 3’S

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

It’s been a painfully slow couple of weeks of golf. I’ve been busy at work with a slight change of responsibilities (be sure to see my stories in the main section in the future).

That combined with a few days of rain led to over a week in which I didn’t have a chance to golf (gasp!). That’s the longest all season that I’ve gone without golfing. I suppose I have it pretty good, huh?

Needless to say, I was extremely excited to get out on the course after that dry spell. Nick actually hadn’t played in nearly a month after slicing his thumb open pretty badly. We were both feeling pretty rusty upon walking up to the No. 1 tee box at Hillview in Fredonia.

As it turns out, we were rusty.

It was an ugly adventure down the fairway despite relatively passable drives. Nick rolled his second shot about 30 feet off to the right. I pulled mine just a bit left and slammed into a tree. Of course the ball dropped straight down. Is there anything worse than that? You make great contact and the ball only ends up 50 feet from where you’re standing. Well, actually there is something much worse. More on that later.

The first four holes were just straight ugly for both of us. I was an gut-churning six-over par after four holes. For those of you scoring at home, that’s ugly. As tends to happen at Hillview, however, my fortune changed at No. 5 — the first par 3 on the course. My tee shot just missed the green, but

was pin height. A nice chip and one putt gave me my first par of the day. Nick did nearly the same thing but just missed his first putt and had to tap in for bogey. Still, things were looking up.

Par, bogey, par, par gave me a nice finish. Combined with No. 5, I was just one over par for the final five holes. If I had played even remotely well on the first four, I would have scored much better than a 43 (which incidentally is still better than my average).

Nick had arguably his best stretch of golf ever on Nos. 8 & 9 with a pair of pars. As far as I can tell from our spreadsheet (yes, I keep track of our scores – it’s genetic but see my year-end column for more on that), Nick had never had back-to-back pars until now.

He did it just how you draw it up, too. A nice, straight, long tee shot on No. 8 set him up for an iron shot that was right on target and stopped right on the front of the green. He left his birdie putt just low (it was a pretty tough pin placement, to be fair), but knocked in his par putt. Then on No. 9 he nearly put the ball in the cup on one shot. He ended up a little behind the pin, but it couldn’t have rolled more than two feet to the side of the hole.

This came after I dropped my tee shot right on the green and dared him to put his closer. He did just that. Again he couldn’t capitalize on a birdie putt, but credit to him for bearing down and making the par putt.

We came back around to No. 1 for the back nine. Hillview technically does have blue tees for the back nine, but honestly I really like to try to

improve on my score from the front nine by playing the same tees. For instance, I had that double-bogey to open things, but my bogey on “No. 10” left me a one-under my previous score. I don’t golf with anyone with whom I directly compete.

I’m always competing against myself and previous scores and averages.

With that horrendous first four holes, I figured it would be easy to be a few strokes better than that the second time around (insert Step By Step theme song here). I was wrong. After shaving off a stroke on the first hole, disaster struck. My drive took off on me and sailed way off to the right. Come to find out, it was directly behind a tree. I tried to be stubborn, but hit seemingly every tree on the course on my second shot.

My third shot? You guessed it.

Hit another tree and somehow dropped way, way to the right.

I’m up towards the clubhouse at this point. My fourth shot had to be a tiny little punch

back out on the fairway just so I could see the pin again. So there I was shooting for par from 100 yards out. Nice. I finished with an 8. Yes, a snowman.

That abomination basically killed any chance I had of beating my front-nine 43…or so I thought. Bogeys on Nos. 4 and 5 actually left me with the exact same six-over after four holes. Gosh that’s hard to write. That’s bad golf right there.

Once again, it was No. 5 that changed my fortunes. I hit a 9-iron off of the tee and it felt great. As we looked up to track the ball, however, both of us were blinded by the sun. My eyes went to the green because I knew I hit a good shot and sure enough, my eyes refocused in time to see the ball hit the front of the green and roll right up to the pin. It wasn’t a gimme, but it was a birdie putt that I can make 95 percent of the time. Thankfully, this

was one of those times. It was (shockingly) my first birdie on a par 3 this season.

Par, par, bogey par put me at even par over the final five holes to give me a 42 for the back nine and an 85 for the round. That’s pretty solid for me, but man oh man did I waste some strokes out there.

An 8 on No. 11?!?!

What really stood out was my 3-3-2-3 on the four par 3’s.

These short holes have been the bane of my existence since I started playing golf, but during this season I’ve seen a huge improvement. I’d say I’ve been putting for birdie more often than not and that’s shown in my scores.

As always, golf is great. Go get some.

COMMENTARY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 35

football related. Nor is this career based.

It’s also not weapon based. Some teams simply have better receivers than others.

If I had to take one quarterback for the upcoming season, which one would I take? This list will answer that question.

32) The Denver Situation — As the defending Super Bowl champions, you’d think Denver would have been able to entice someone better than Mark Sanchez to come to town. Between Sanchez, rookie Paxton Lynch and 2015 seventhround pick Trevor Siemian, I doubt any Broncos fans feel good about the quarterback situation.

31) Brock Osweiler, Houston Texans — Admittedly, Osweiler would have been ever so slightly better than what Denver has now, but the Broncos did the right thing in letting him walk. Houston gave a boatload of money to a guy with 11 career touchdown passes.

30) Colin Kaepernick, San Francisco 49ers — This is tough because we’ve seen Kaep go bonkers for stretches and win games single handedly. His career numbers aren’t all that bad, but for the purposes of this list, I want no part of him. Also, Chip Kelly is overrated.

29) Robert Griffin III, Cleveland Browns — It seems like it’s been forever since we saw Bobby Threesticks on the field. I’m actually rooting hard for him to succeed with his new team, but how do you trust a guy that has never played a full 16-game season? You can’t. Well, I can’t anyway.

28) Jared Goff, Los Angeles Rams — Huh. That’s the first time I’ve typed “Los Angeles Rams” but I like it.

Honestly, I don’t watch college football so I don’t have much to say about Goff, but it seemed like he was the consensus best QB in the draft so I’ll trust that the experts are smarter than me about the Cal product.

27) Teddy Bridgewater, Minnesota Vikings — Listen, I see some potential here, but the guy has only thrown 14 touchdowns in each of his two seasons.

His completion percentage isn’t terribly high for a guy who isn’t asked to take a lot of risks. Even his legs haven’t been as big of a weapon as most people thought they’d be.

26) Joe Flacco, Baltimore Ravens — Yes, he’s a former Super Bowl champion, but if you watched Flacco flub his way to 14 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, you’d have no confidence in him. It was also the first season Flacco has ever

Spoiler alert: Mark Sanchez doesn’t rank terribly high on the list of the NFL’s best starting quarterbacks. (AP Photo/David Zalubowski)

missed a game due to injury.

25) Sam Bradford, Philadelphia Eagles — In my eyes, Bradford is the worst quarterback in the league. I’ve been a hater since he entered the league. That said, his stats from last year weren’t awful so I had to be at least a little bit objective.

24) Ryan Fitzpatrick, New York Jets — Fitz was great last year. He threw for almost 4,000 yards and showed great chemistry with his receiving corps. The Jets weirdly acted like they weren’t going to bring him back. Will they get last year’s Fitz or the mistake-prone, gamelosing Fitz?

23) Jay Cutler, Chicago Bears — His former tight end Marcellus Bennett just called him the worst quarterback in the NFL. That’s coming from someone who caught passes from him for several seasons. I can’t stand his attitude and body language on the field, but I’d say he’s only in the bottom third.

22) Ryan Tannehill, Miami Dolphins — I’ve been fortunate enough to watch Tannehill play a lot. Therefore I’m not fooled by his 4,200-yard season last year.

His offensive line lets him take a beating, so to his credit Tannehill is tough

as nails, but he’s just not very good at playing quarterback.

21) Marcus Mariota, Tennessee Titans — In his rookie season, Mariota put up a QB rating of 91.5. That would be excellent for a veteran. There are probably Pro Bowls in this guy’s future. He also had some highlight reel runs, which were a ton of fun to watch.

20) Kirk Cousins, Washington Football Team — In his first season as the starter, Cousins threw for over 4,000 yards, tossed 29 touchdowns and sported a quarterback rating of over 100. Is this his ceiling or is there room for the Michigan State product to grow? I’d bank on ceiling, but that’s still pretty good.

19) Alex Smith, Kansas City Chiefs — He’s never thrown more than 23 touchdowns in a season, but he hasn’t thrown double-digit interceptions since 2010. He’s more athletic than he’s given credit for, but in the age of huge passing numbers, Smith just doesn’t quite cut it.

18) Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lions — This is one based more on the eye test. It’s extremely hard to punch holes in any of Stafford’s stats. Of course, he routinely leads the league in attempts, so he better be throwing for some yards,

touchdowns, etc. Last season may have actually been his best, but I wouldn’t trust him to win me games.

17) Andy Dalton, Cincinnati Bengals — Without A.J. Green, how good would Dalton actually be? It’s impossible to say, but The Red Rifle did manage to put up 25 touchdowns against just seven interceptions last season. He’ll reach 20,000 career passing yards this season, so that’s something.

16) Eli Manning, New York Giants — Manning has had the best two seasons of his career in the past two seasons.

That’s not a fluke, but he’s also still throwing a lot of interceptions. In fact, the next pick he throws will be No. 200 for his career.

There’s the top (bottom?) half of the list.

Please note that this was written before the Tony Romo injury. Otherwise you can be sure that the Cowboys situation would have ranked in this bottom half.

Do you have predictions on how the rest of the list will play out? I’d love to hear your thoughts. Send an email to stefang@starmg.co and perhaps I’ll include some reader comments in the second half of the list.

County Health Officials Urge Chautauqua Lake Users to be Cautious Contributed Article Chautauqua County Dept. of Health and Human Services

“Around Chautauqua in 18 Holes!”

Putt-Around-Chautauqua at Midway State Park 4859 Route 430 (two miles west of Bemus Point) Maple Springs, New York Open July – September, Wednesday – Sunday, noon to 10 pm $5 per round

The Public Health Division of the Chautauqua County Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) urges all residents to be cautious when recreating in our lakes, especially if algae is present. Lake users should be aware that algal bloom conditions can change rapidly due to changes in weather and lake currents and they can occur in any of our lakes at any time. Blue-green algal blooms can be a problem because they can release a toxin, which at high levels is harmful to human and animal health if ingested.

Blue-green algae is actually a type of cyanobacteria that can form thick mats on the water surface resembling paint, and ranges in color from gray to various shades of yellow, green, blue, or brown. The problem of blue-green algae occurs throughout New York and many other states. In recent years blooms have been quite significant on Chautauqua Lake and on our other inland lakes.

Christine Schuyler, County Director of Health & Human Services, said, "The real threat to public health from cyanobacteria is when people or pets drink or otherwise ingest water directly from a lake where a bloom is occurring. Lake water that is properly treated through an approved DHHS water treatment plant does not pose a risk. Swimming or recreating in areas where the water contains high levels of toxin can cause skin irritation and other symptoms to those with high sensitivity.”

“A significant amount of sampling and testing for microcystin, one of the most common toxins produced by cyanobacteria, has been done on Chautauqua and Findley Lakes over the past four years,” said Schuyler. “The only samples that have been high were those from locations where significant blooms were present and the water was very unsightly. Such areas of Chautauqua Lake currently include, but are not limited to, the Bemus Bay area in the north basin and several areas throughout the south basin but remember

conditions can change rapidly.”

DHHS has developed a response plan to help protect the public from health effects caused by blue-green algal blooms when they occur. This includes closely monitoring permitted bathing beaches and public drinking water supplies, along with collecting a limited number of samples from our lakes for submission to the New York State Department of Health laboratory.

Not all algal blooms are hazardous, but DHHS recommends taking the following precautions: • Avoid or limit exposure to water where these algal blooms are occurring.

This especially includes swimming and other contact recreation where the water could be accidentally swallowed.

• Do not allow young children or pets to play in water where an algal bloom is present.

• Wash your hands and body thoroughly if exposed to algae and anytime after swimming or recreating in the lake.

• Do not use any water from lakes for drinking unless it has been treated through a municipal water treatment plant.

• Do not enter the water if you have open cuts or sores.

• If pets enter the water containing blue-green algae, wash them immediately and don't let them lick their fur.

There are no mechanical or chemical methods to eliminate a bloom. This problem can only be solved by reducing nutrients washing into the lake from the watershed, which act as fertilizer for both algae and weeds. Watershed management plans have been developed for several lakes including Chautauqua and Findley to address the nutrient problem. As recommendations in the plan are implemented, improved water quality will follow, but it will take years to see improvements.

For more information about blue-green algae, please go to the DHHS website at www. co.chautauqua.ny.us or call 716-753-4489 during normal business hours. The website also contains information about bathing beach closures for public beaches in Chautauqua County.
