WESTFIELD-MAYVILLE ROTARY CLUB GIVES $5,000 TO WESTFIELD MEMORIAL HOSPITAL RED CAMPAIGN
Contributed Article Westfield-Mayville Rotary
In support of the Westfield Memorial Hospital’s RED (Renovate our Emergency Department) Campaign, the Rotary Club of Westfield-Mayville recently made a $5,000 donation. This Rotary Club has a long history of supporting the hospital, including helping to establish it 75 years ago. Westfield Memorial Hospital (WMH), which served 23,000 patients during this past year, is in the process of renovating its emergency department. Project highlights include a redesign of the emergency waiting room, new ambulance vestibule, implementation of a new split-flow area with two fast track intake bays, four new treatment rooms, one new large trauma room, a physician consult room and new staff stations. The Westfield Memorial Hospital Foundation (WMHF) is committed to supporting this upgrade. Since the RED Campaign’s inception on October 6, 2016, 78% of the goal has been raised. The RED Campaign, now in its second year, will conclude on Dec. 31. Patricia Gaughan DiPalma, WMHF Executive Director, was the guest presenter at the Oct. 24 meeting of Rotary Club. At this session, which was held at The Parkview in Westfield, DiPalma was introduced by Rotarian Dan Smith, who also serves on the WMH Foundation Board. DiPalma stated, “The WMHF Board and I are grateful to the WestfieldMayville Rotary Club and those in the

community who have given to the vital Annual/RED Campaign. This year, our treasured community hospital is celebrating two important milestones with the 75th birthday of the hospital and the 40th anniversary of the foundation. In order to continue serving the community for many more years to come, we would like to urge all those who have not yet given to please do so and help us to push that goal thermometer to its 100% mark of $650,000 goal.”
During her presentation, DiPalma gave a brief history of the hospital, offered some interesting facts, and explained various facets of the renovation project and associated costs. She noted “that starting in 2018, the hospital will be fully connected to Saint Vincent Hospital in Erie, PA, along with the entire Allegheny Health Network (AHN) through a new electronic medical record system called the EPIC system.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

RENOVATION DONATION, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 DiPalma said: “Westfield Memorial Hospital served its first patient in the spring of 1942 and is one of the largest employers in northwest Chautauqua County with 98 full time and part time employees. Westfield Memorial likes to boast it’s one of the few hospitals left in New York State to have both a helipad and a hitching post! In the past 12 months, the emergency department had more than 7,500 visits. The WMH Physical Therapy Department treated more than 1,200 patients last year, and it has the highest satisfaction rating of any hospital service.” She continued her remarks noting: “The surgical department is projected to perform well over 1,000 surgical procedures next year alone.” DiPalma outlined various funding sources for the foundation stating: “We garner most of our funds from the Annual Campaign. In addition to numerous raffles, the foundation has worked hard holding numerous signature events throughout the years in support of our mission. She then cited the foundation’s mission: “As a major source of fundraising for Westfield Memorial Hospital, the foundation will work with the hospital in providing financial support for the delivery of high quality healthcare to the residents of Chautauqua County.” She continued by saying: “Many are familiar with our annual golf tournament; in fact, we’d like to thank Rotary for its sponsorship year after year. We have an endowment held at the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation (NCCF) and we also work hard to receive funding from numerous foundations and grants. The foundation also has a Spencer Legacy Society for those donors who wish to include the foundation in one’s estate planning by establishing a trust fund or by supporting the WMHF through a retirement account or a life insurance policy, or simply by including the foundation in one’s will. The foundation always welcomes Memorials and Honorariums as well.” Prominently displayed in the hospital lobby is the WMHF Donor Board, which lists the names (in various giving categories) of those who have made contributions of $200 or more. Throughout the existence of both the hospital and foundation, numerous Rotarians have served on its boards. Westfield-Mayville Rotary Club members who currently serve on the WMH Board of Directors are Helen Baran - Chair, John Hamels, PhD – Vice Chair, Tracy Bennett – Treasurer and Tom Berkhouse – Trustee. The Rotary Club of Westfield-Mayville urges the community to support its hospital and foundation’s RED Campaign by making tax-deductible donations. Checks may be made payable to the WMH Foundation and mailed to the WMH Foundation located at 189 East Main Street, Westfield, NY 14787. Credit card payments are also accepted.

don't need to be happy... you need to be joyful!" What does this mean? Let’s begin with looking at the definition of being happy. When people talk about being happy, they're usually associating happiness with the acquisition of "good things" and the deliverance from or absence of "bad stuff" in their lives. A sick person usually thinks, "I'll be happy when I'm well." A person with money problems is usually waiting for "his ship to come in.” This demonstrates the shortcomings of happiness. It's dependant on circumstances. But this makes us vulnerable and suggests that we can’t be happy unless or until our problems are resolved. It also sets us up for the deception that unhappiness is inevitable when we are faced with problems or challenges.

Trifle Mania, Part Two By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
Last week, we started a series of trifle recipes, including two of my favorites. Who am I kidding? They’re all my favorites. These are just ones that I picked to go together a couple of weeks ago while preparing dessert for a large group of people at our church. A variety that seems to have something for everyone. As mentioned last week, two of these have been printed once before, so I am adding two new recipes as well. The pumpkin Gingerbread and Peanut Butter Cup Brownie are back by popular demand, and for good reason. If I actually had to pick my absoluter favorite (which I am so glad that I don’t have to…) it would be one of these two or cheesecake and berries. How does one choose, though? They’re all just too different. In last week’s issue, we shared the Peanut Butter Brownie and the Strawberry Shortcake, which by process of elimination means that Pumpkin Gingerbread and Mint Brownie are the stars this week. Will there be more? It’s entirely possible. The Holiday season equals double baking time around here, which also means more time to try out new recipes. Don’t worry though, we are all about sharing good news! Jesus, recipes, you name it. If we find something else that’s good, we will definitely tell you about it. I won’t delay these any longer. As always, thanks for reading! Happy baking from HBK! Pumpkin Gingerbread Trifle • gingerbread cake, baked and cooled • 1 family sized box, vanilla pudding • 2 C. cold milk • 1 C. pumpkin pie mix • 3 C. whipped cream • cinnamon, optional Cut gingerbread cake into small squares. They do not have to be perfect.
Prepare pumpkin filling, pouring milk into mixing bowl first, and then pudding mix. Mix for about 2 minutes on medium speed. Add pumpkin to pudding mix and combine well, scraping the sides of the bowl. If making whipped cream from scratch, transfer pumpkin pudding mixture into another mixing bowl. Optional: add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the whipped cream and mix in. Layer in trifle bowl, reserving some gingerbread crumbles for the top of the cake. Use about half of each ingredient for each layer. Example, 1 ½ cups whipped cream, half the cake, 1 ½ cups pumpkin mixture, then repeat. Measurements do not need to be exact, this part should be fun and easy! Refrigerate before serving. Mint Chocolate Brownie Trifle • 1 brownies, 9x13 pan size
• 1 family sized box, chocolate pudding • 3 C. cold milk • 3 C. whipped cream • 1 bag, crushed Andes mints Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting into squares. Squares do not need to be perfect! Mix pudding mix and milk, pouring milk into mixing bowl first. Mix on medium speed for two minutes, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. If making the whipped cream from scratch with a stand mixer, transfer pudding into another bowl. Prepare whipped cream. Layer ingredients in bowl, using about half of each ingredient per layer. Example: 1 ½ cups pudding, half of the brownie chunks, 1 ½ cups pudding, half the bag of mints, then repeat. Chill before serving. Enjoy!

Bag & String Wine Merchants Announces Major Changes NEW SPACE, NEW TECHNOLOGY, NEW PARTNERS, NEW PRODUCTS
Contributed Article Bag & String Wine Merchants
New Space. As Bag & String Wine Merchants approaches its third year at 110 Chautauqua Ave. in Lakewood, and its eighth year in business, its founder, Samuel Whitmore, reflects on the company’s history. “My two sons were essentially raised in this business,” he said, noting that he worked in the wine industry in Napa and Sonoma Counties in California for 15 years before moving to his wife’s native Western New York. As with any new business, he knew there would be struggles. “When I started this store, I was not sure if it would be successful or not,” Whitmore said. “I knew there was a need for something different, and found a way to convince myself of its success.” In the fourth year of business, Sam bought the property at 110 Chautauqua Ave. to renovate and expand his starter store from 1,200 square feet to more than 3,000. Constantly reinvesting in the business allowed it to grow quickly. Hiring Matt Herrera in 2014 as the general manager and the shop’s first full-time employee allowed Sam to focus on the design and renovation of the property at 110 Chautauqua Ave. Before that project was completed, the building next door at 120 Chautauqua Ave became available and also needed major renovations. “The support beams on the first floor were not to code; that project alone was about $50,000,” Whitmore said. “We added two high-end loft apartments on the third floor, and fixed up the second story.” Whitmore credits the success of Bag & String to a few important differences. “With all the wine and liquor stores in the region claiming to be ‘discount,’
offering a second bottle for $1.00, all the online wine clubs offering discounts up to 60% off retail, there is simply no way all those wines are good. Is it really a deal if the wine is barely drinkable?” he said. “We buy on quality first, price second. Outside of highly allocated wines, we try every wine prior to bringing it in.” Herrera said that the defining characteristics of the store were value, quality, service and knowledge. “Our team tastes through easily 50 different wines and spirits every week,” he said. With that attention to detail, it is no wonder that the business has continued to grow at 20 to 25 percent per year over the last several years. Herrera also said that a high level of customer service and knowledge are critical. The employees at Bag & String Wine Merchants are all required to study for the Wine and Spirits Educational Trust certificate, known as the WSET. Herrera is certified Level 3 WSET and is working toward his masters of wine, the American equivalent of master sommelier. He oversees the employees’ education, and develops material for classes the shop offers to its customers. “This process gives our employees the confidence to recommend wines and spirits and our customers the confidence in our team,” he said. Leslie Wasik, the store’s wine club manager, chimed in. “One of the biggest drivers of growth for Bag & String Wine Merchants has been the wine club,” she said. Whitmore remarked on that growth. “In July 2011, my first wine club shipment was maybe 10 people,” he said. “As of today, we have 803 members.” Wasik has managed the club for the past year, and said that “innovation will continue to drive growth.” The Bag & String team is now switching to a new point-of-sale system, and has specialized its wine club manage-
ment software and retooled its retail wine website so that all three aspects are seamless. The new software will assist in continued great customer service. Wasik said she is looking forward to a more fluid process running the club and an improved experience for the customer. “The original wine club software was a little clumsy, and required a major time commitment each month and a lot of paper!” she said. “The new system is via encrypted cloud-based software and all electronic with onsite backup.” New Partners. Beginning in January, Bag & String Wine Merchants will have three new partners. Herrera, Wasik and Mel Mason will be taking a partnership position in Bag & String Wine Merchants. "They have been the driving force for a few years now,” Whitmore said. “It is the right time to transition to a new executive leadership team. Having them as partners will maintain continuity and momentum.” Whitmore said each of the new partners has a skill set that complements those of the others. “Matt is the coach, in a sense, leading with education, hunting down great wines and spirits, and setting the standard of delivering value,” he said. “Leslie brings a high level of customer service to the sales floor and wine club. Heading up inventory and operations, Mel keeps things running smoothly. She finds all wine and spirits hiding in the warehouse, keeping an eye on top-selling SKU’s, and the toughest part of her job, keeping Matt and me from our buying sprees!” Mason immediately joked that keeping Herrera and Whitmore on track is an impossible task. With an eye to the future and continued development of the historic district of Lakewood, Whitmore said that reducing his day-to-day responsibilities in the store will allow him to focus on other projects. “We have a lot of plans for 2018 and beyond,” he said. “To increase our market share locally, regionally and online, we need to continue demonstrating why we are market leaders in the world of wine and spirits. Our first goal is to create an event space for our wine and spirits classes.” He expressed concern about the loss of
a community center, when the Town of Busti sold the old bunker building near the Village Hall. “That space was used throughout the year for all sorts of activities, including a gathering place for seniors to stay connected” he said. “It was an unfortunate loss.” The new Bag & String space would be about 1,000 square feet, and separate from the wine store. Because the shop will use its event space only a small amount of time, it will be available for private rentals and free to community and nonprofit groups. New Products and Offerings. In addition to local wine and spirits offerings, Bag & String Wine Merchants has recently entered the custom-barrelbourbon market with the purchase of an entire barrel of bourbon from Garrison Brothers Distillery in Texas. Herrera explained that craft bourbon and whiskey has been a hot product for years, and continues to grow. “With the popularity of bourbon today, many of our favorites that we used to purchase several cases of, are now allocating us a few bottles each year,” he said. This trend makes many sought-after bourbons unaffordable to most customers. With a focus on quality, Herrera is working to find the best values in whiskey and bourbon for Bag & String shoppers. “We’re finding our regular customers are starting to seek out new brands and are now buying by taste and our recommandations,” Herrera said. “With the best selections of bourbon and whiskey available for customers to taste, we are seeing brisk sales in this category.” In addition to offering specialty bourbon and other liquor, Bag & String Wine Merchants is entering the Negociant market, which Whitmore said is a term for people who buy and blend select lots of wine to sell under their own label. He said that buying large lots of unfinished wine would allow the Bag & String team to develop a highquality blend for a great value. He said that his previous winery experience and contacts would help him secure the best price-to-quality ratio. Bag & String Wine Merchants’ first brand will be called Omnia, meaning “everything” in Latin. CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

2017 Holiday Hiring Could Be a Boon for Seasonal Workers Contributed Article NewsUSA
Let the holiday hiring season begin. Early forecasts anticipate a pretty holly, jolly Christmas for retailers, with total sales expected to grow as much as 4.5 percent as opposed to last year's 3.6 percent. To help get them across the finish line, according to the National Retail Federation, a whopping 500,000 to 550,000 seasonal workers - more than the population of Sacramento, California - will need to be hired. And while some companies are making it more attractive than ever to come aboard, there's still some forces at work that applicants need to be aware of: • The economy isn't necessarily your friend. Rather than bringing in hordes of new temps as in the past to do everything from wait on customers to gift wrap presents, some employers like Walmart are instead at least mainly opting to offer existing workers extra hours. "Part of the reason is that there just aren't as many people looking for work this year," CNNMoney.com reports. "Unemployment fell to a 16-year-low of 4.2 percent in September, considered to be pretty much full employment by most economists." • Except when it is your friend. Because there are fewer people out of work heck, even the number of part-time workers who'd prefer full-time gigs has fallen by nearly 250,000 in the last year - some of the incentives being dangled to lure qualified applicants are pretty impressive. One of the most intriguing offers comes from UPS (UPS.Jobs.com), currently in the midst of a major push to fill about 95,000 full- and part-time jobs - primarily as package handlers, drivers, and driver-helpers. The company already has a reputation for providing such seasonal temps what it calls "a road to permanent employment" (more on that in a second). And that's on top of inducements including flexible hours across multiple shifts and - are you ready? - as much as $25,000 in tuition assistance for permanent part-time college students through its Earn and Learn program. "If you are a student, a working mom, or just looking to make extra money for the holidays, we have a job for you," says CEO David Abney. • The 800-pound gorilla. Aside from some island castaway, who isn't buying online these days? And with internet sales predicted to rise 18 to 21 percent over last year, not only does someone have to deliver those packages (see UPS above), but stores like Macy's will be needing bodies for their fulfillment centers and online customer service. So what are the odds of those 500,000-plus temp gigs turning into something more lasting? Well, as Benjamin Franklin once opined, the only guarantees in life are death and taxes. But UPS, for example, does say that 35 percent of those hired for seasonal package handler jobs over the past three years subsequently landed permanent positions, and that even its permanent part-time employees qualify for healthcare and retirement benefits. Case in point of how the package delivery company makes it possible to rise through the ranks: Jackie Nicholas, who started out years ago as a temp and who's now a full-time recruiter in Kentucky.
Billions of packages will need to be delivered during the holiday season.
"As a mother, the great pay and benefits have been critical for my family, and so has the flexibility," says Nicholas, recalling how she used to work the night shift when her two kids were young so that she could be with them for things like school field trips. Oh, and her husband and both her sons now also work for UPS.

But now with Herrera, Wasik and Mason joining him, Whitmore said that they have contributed greatly and treated the shop as their own, even before becoming partners. The Omnia Wines are expected to arrive in early 2018, and include a Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon, with other blends and varieties arriving as they are ready.

Infertility Guidance Begins with Healthcare Providers
Contributed Article NewsUSA
Infertility can be a difficult topic to understand for couples trying to conceive a child. Many questions arise during the conception journey concerning health, timing, and fertility treatments. So where do most couples go for guidance and support? The Stork ib2C Inc. conducted an online survey among 150 adult consumers under the age of 45 who have been trying to conceive for at least three
months and have taken action to improve fertility or would consider taking action in the future. The survey uncovered that healthcare providers are the top resource consulted about fertility at the beginning of many couples' conception journey and during the time couples began to feel concerned. The results showed that 51 percent of respondents consulted their healthcare provider initially for fertility, and 49 percent for concerns related to fertility. The more-concerned respondent bases most likely consulted
resources about fertility from the very beginning, including 92 percent of those who were moderately concerned and 84 percent of those who were highly concerned. The number-one reason for concern, by a ratio of more than 2 to 1, was the number of months the couples spent trying to conceive, in addition to how long these couples thought it would take at the time they started trying to conceive. The level of concern positively correlated to couples who tried certain conception techniques, including over-the-counter
(OTC) medical devices and incorporating lifestyle modifications about diet and caffeine. The survey showed that experiences and actions changed as the respondents moved along the levels of concern. The most-concerned segment was eager to try new options. Twenty-six percent of respondents were unaware of the possibility of using an OTC medical device to improve fertility, as only 6 percent of respondents were using one; however, another 25 percent said they were considering it. This is where The Stork OTC
can help. The Stork OTC home conception device is a low-cost option that affords couples the opportunity to increase their fertility without engaging in long-term and costly treatments. There are no shots to take, scans to schedule or prescriptions to fill. The FDA-cleared, overthe-counter device provides a way to keep higher sperm score concentration at the cervix compared with natural intercourse by cervical cap insemination.

5 Ways to Create Ambiance in Your Home Contributed Article StatePoint
If your home interiors lack charm, don’t worry. These five simple additions and updates can add ambiance and character to your home. 1. Use bold colors. Colors have the power to create specific moods. To ensure a welcoming atmosphere, make sure you select shades wisely. The science behind color psychology can help you choose paint, upholstery and more. Warm colors like red, orange and yellow make people feel more cozy and intimate. Cooler colors like grey and green are better for invoking calm, and are used to make a room feel more spacious. 2. Add a touch of softness. Use plush, cozy materials, such as decorative pillows and throws to create inviting places to sit. Soften hard surfaces like wooden or tile floors with area rugs. Add some warmth to hallways and narrow foyers with runners. 3. Breathe new life into spaces. Indoor plants can give life to an otherwise stagnant living area. For those not blessed with a green thumb, consider artificial plants. High-quality options can look very realistic and will save you time on care and maintenance. Or, for variety, add a simple vase to the kitchen table and brighten up the room with a new bouquet of fresh cut flowers each week. 4. Make music. A piano brings a level of elegance to any room, but you don’t have to overspend to get a beautiful sound or visual. New digital pianos reproduce the subtle nuances of the world’s finest grand pianos at various price points. For example, the Celviano Grand Hybrid Piano from Casio has the technology to produce an authentic grand piano experience, but doesn’t take up as much space or cost as much. Plus, since it’s digital, you won’t have to worry about maintenance and tuning. 5. Mood lighting. From candles to unique fixtures to bright open windows, the type of lighting used to illuminate a room sets its tone. Choose curtains and candles for cozy, romantic nights. Draw them open in the day for bright, sun-lit spaces. Install interesting fixtures as a focal point in empty hallways and in living spaces.

How Parents Can Have A Device-Free Meal with the Tap of A Button Contributed Article NewsUSA
Technology, the plethora of devices, such as smart phones and tablets, and social media have brought convenience to our finger- tips today in ways that we didn't know were possible just a few years ago. It has made life easier for families and businesses in so many ways, more than we can count. But, with that immediate grat- ification we, as a society, have some serious consequences to con- sider and address. A new Comcast survey shows that the majority of parents across the country believe that disconnecting from devices during mealtime improves family bonding, with more than 2 in 5 (42 percent) not able to remember the last time their family had a devicefree meal. However, children aren't the only ones to blame: more than half (52 percent) of parents have been told by their children to put their cell phones away during meals. A new DeviceFreeDinner campaign featuring comedian Will Ferrell captures this very issue. Comcast offers a solution for parents called Xfinity xFi, a new way for users to personalize, monitor, and control their home Wi-Fi, including the ability to instantly pause Wi-Fi connectivity by user or device. The "pause device" feature is the most popular xFi function, with users tapping "pause" about five million times since launch, most often between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. Parents will be happy to learn that they are not alone in their concerns about screen time and its effects. Comcast's nationwide study of parents, conducted by Wakefield Research, also found: • Dinnertime is bonding time -Nearly every (98 percent) parent surveyed agrees that disconnecting from devices during mealtime im- proves family bonding.
How Parents Can Have A Device-Free Meal with the Tap of A Button
•
•
•
Millennial parents have an especially hard time remembering the last time they sat at the dinner table without a device at the table (49 percent), compared to Gen Xers (37 percent) and Boomers (33 percent). Sneaking screen time - Par- ents admit to taking away their children's devices an average of once per week and more than half (56 percent) have found their chil- dren trying to sneak their devices when they were banned from them. Going to extremes to disconnect - Nearly one-third (31 percent) of parents make their children leave their devices in a basket be- fore bedtime, while 14 percent go so far as to disconnect their modems to stop Wi-Fi usage.
The American Academy of Pe- diatrics recommends that parents develop personalized plans for their children's device use, warning that excessive screen time can displace important activities such as face-to-face interaction, familytime, outdoor play, exercise, and sleep. "Technology should adapt to meet our customers' needs, not the other way around," says Eric Schaefer, Senior Vice President of Internet and Communications Ser-vices for Comcast Cable. "With xFi's 'pause device' feature, parents have the power to decide when it's time for family members to connect with each other, rather than their devices."

If your dish has multiple components, separate warm and cold items during transport and use insulated carriers to maintain optimal temperatures. Make something that doesn’t require a ton of prep time and equipment once you arrive, unless you’ve asked the host in advance. Bring trivets or serving utensils, if needed, and don’t assume the host will have extras. Don’t get caught unprepared this holiday party season.

How to Save Time and Money this Holiday Season Contributed Article StatePoint

To enjoy the festivities on a budget, consider these tips from the discount experts at Dollar General. Multi-Purpose Decorations Try repurposing Thanksgiving decorations for the rest of the holiday season, simply by changing certain decorative elements. Candle holders, for example, are a great way to add some color and fun to any space and they can easily be changed with the seasons. Fill them with candy corn during the fall and then substitute mini-ornaments when the holidays arrive. Changing colored ribbons and small decorating items on wreaths, center pieces and trees can make a dramatic and TH inexpensive difference. LONG Host the Perfect Party Hosting a great holiday party doesn’t have to be a daunting and expensive task. To save both time and money, consider co-hosting a party with friends to share the responsibilities and the cost. There’s also the option of hosting a party at a restaurant. Sometimes the cost of renting a small space is less expensive than preparing food at home for everyone; and it is certainly less time consuming! Cook Like a Chef If you’re hosting a party at home, cooking an elaborate meal for family and friends can become overwhelming. One way to handle the chaos in the kitchen is to use the crockpot. Slow-cooked meals are a great way to save time and energy when preparing to entertain for the holidays.

Do You Know Beaujolais Nouveau? Contributed Article NewsUSA
For many wine lovers, the arrival of Beaujolais Nouveau on November 16 - or Beaujolais Nouveau Day - has become a festive addition to celebrations during the holiday season. The Beaujolais Nouveau heritage began with the winegrowers themselves, who toasted the end of the harvest and their hard work with a sampling of wine they had just produced. Take a look to learn how Les Vins Georges Duboeuf has helped extend this regional tradition to wine drinkers around the world through the commemoration of Beaujolais Nouveau Day.

“Canada’s Finest Singer/Songwriter” to Perform at Opera House Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House
Canadian Singer/Songwriter James Keelaghan will perform at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House on Fri., Nov. 17, at 7:30 p.m., as part of the Folk in Fredonia Music Series. Called “Canada’s finest singersongwriter” by one of the most respected and lauded music journalists of the past 50 years, Keelaghan is an artist who has proven to be a man for all seasons. As the calendar pages have turned, for almost a quartercentury now, this poet laureate of the folk and roots music world has gone about his work
identifiable voices of not only the Canadian scene, but of the international singer-songwriter community. Many of the lyrics in Keelaghan’s songs display a concern about social problems and justice in society. Examples of such themes include “Kiri’s Piano,” about the internment of Japanese Canadians, and “October 70,” about the FLQ crisis in Montreal, both inspired by events and figures in with a combination of passion, Canada’s history.

In 2003, Keelaghan won first prize in the Folk category of the 8th Annual USA Songwriting Competition. He also was the recipient of a Juno Award (Canada’s Grammy). It was Dave Marsh, the awardwinning American music critic and historian who not so long ago stated that Keelaghan is “Canada’s finest singer-songwriter.” Those few but powerful words of praise say it all about an artist who continues to set the bar at a lofty height!

Opera House Cinema Series to Screen Harry Dean Stanton’s Final Film: “Lucky” Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House
The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is “Lucky,” starring the late character actor Harry Dean Stanton. It will be screened on Sat., Nov. 18, and Tues., Nov. 21, at 7:30 p.m. “Lucky” follows the spiritual journey of a 90-year-old atheist and the quirky characters that inhabit his off-the-map desert town. Having outlived and outsmoked all of his contemporaries, the fiercely independent Lucky (Stanton) finds himself at the precipice of life, thrust into a journey of self-exploration, leading towards that which is so often unattainable: enlightenment. Acclaimed character actor John Carroll Lynch’s directorial debut is at once a love letter to the life and career of Stanton as well as a meditation on morality, loneliness, spirituality, and human connection. The 91-year-old Stanton passed away in September of this year. A prolific character actor, whose drooping, weather-beaten appearance and superb
acting talent were his ticket to appearing in more than 100 films, he’s earned raves for his portrayal of this film’s title character. Chris Nashawaty, in Entertainment Weekly, calls the film “an elegiac and ultimately affirming meditation on mortality, regret, and smiling through hardship. You couldn’t ask for a more poignant swan song from a more singular artist.” Ty Burr, in the Boston Globe, calls it “simply, a lovely time at the movies.” Joe Leydon, in Variety,
says “everything Harry Dean Stanton has done in his career, and his life, has brought him to his moment of triumph in “Lucky,” an unassumingly wonderful little film about nothing in particular and everything that’s important.” David Ehrlich, in indieWire, calls it “a wise and wistful love letter from one remarkable character actor to another.” Unrated, “Lucky” runs one hour, 28 minutes. The Opera House Cinema Series is sponsored by Lake Shore Savings
Bank. Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students) the night of each screening. A book of 10 movie passes is available for $60 at the door or online at www.fredopera.org. For more information, call the Opera House Box Office at 716-679-1891. The Opera House is equipped with individualized closed captioning headsets for the deaf as well as with assistive listening headsets for the hearingimpaired.

Sabres Cite Change in Mentality as Reason for OT Loss in Pittsburgh Contributed Article Sabres.com
Through two periods on Tuesday night, the Buffalo Sabres went toe-to-toe with the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions and never seemed to blink. When the Pittsburgh Penguins punched, the Sabres punched back, sometimes literally and other times by finding the back of the net. It all added up to a 4-3 lead heading into the third period. What happened next stemmed from an overall shift in the team's mindset, at least in the opinions of the players who spoke following the game. GET THE LATEST "First two periods I thought we tried to take it to them, third period we sat back and let them take it to us," Sabres forward Jack Eichel said. "We played scared to lose ChautauquaStar.com and not to win. They're a good hockey team. We knew we were going to get a hard push." Pittsburgh outshot Buffalo 13-6 in the final period and Phil Kessel scored the @ChautauquaStar tying goal with 6:11 remaining, paving the way for Connor Sheary to clinch a 5-4 win for the Penguins in overtime.
ONLINE:
Sam Reinhart led the way for the Sabres with three points (1+2). Eichel scored a goal and an assist, while Benoit Pouliot and Evander Kane also tallied goals. Robin Lehner made 40 saves in net for Buffalo. For a team that's still learning how to be consistent in pressure situations, moments of adversity were met head on through the first 40 minutes on Tuesday. For example: When Reinhart was leveled with an openice hit from Penguins defenseman Ian Cole, not only did Eichel quickly drop his gloves in response, the Sabres then went on to kill off a power play with Eichel and Kane in the box for roughing. Another example: When Patric Hornqvist took advantage of a misplay behind the net to cut Buffalo's two-goal lead in half with 19 seconds remaining in the first period, Eichel responded with a goal of his own 16 seconds into the second. Then, when the Penguins responded with goals from Sheary and Sidney Crosby to even the score at 3-3, Reinhart won a battle along the end boards and fed Pouliot on the power play to regain the lead with seven seconds left in the second period. "We earned that lead going into the third," Reinhart said. "There's a reason why we have it. We're playing against probably the best team in the world the last few years. We play with the mindset that we're going to go take it to them, and we play with the lead. We lose it, and we sit back too much. The more opportunities you give that team, they're going to score more times than not." Sabres coach Phil Housley said he saw a dip in his team's play without the puck in the third period as well. "The bottom line is we put ourselves in position to win a hockey game, going into the third period with a one goal lead," Housley said. "We've got to be able to shut
teams down. Good teams, they're going to create, but we've got to rely on our play without the puck and have urgency to protect the lead and then try to take advantage of mistakes the other team makes, which we came close to." After Kessel tied the game for the Penguins, on a one-time goal made possible by a feed from Evegni Malkin that seemed to see its way through multiple sticks as it glided across the Buffalo net, it took just 16 seconds into the overtime period for Sheary to score the winner. Eichel explained that it was a failed switch on his behalf that left Sheary open to score on a feed from Crosby, who was stationed behind the net. Kane went down low to pick up Crosby, and Eichel was still looking for his man when Crosby delivered the pass. "I think it was just a switch, and I didn't pick up Sheary quick enough. That's on me," Eichel said. "He made a good play. He spun off pretty quickly and made a nice pass there. I wasn't expecting it. I was trying to find my way to the front of the net." Housley said he liked a lot of what his team was able to accomplish in the game, and for good reason. After scoring just one goal in three of their last four games, they created several chances on the rush and found the back of the net four times. Two of their goals came on the power play, giving them four in three games. It also makes it two games in a row in which the Sabres have felt they played well enough to win, only to come away with one point to show for it. "Were not going to give up," Lehner said. "We know what spot we're in but we also know [if we] win one, two, three, all of sudden we climb back to .500. You never know. You have to take lessons out of this."

Golfer's
D i a ry
Don’t Be “THAT” Guy (Pt. 1) By Stefan Gestwicki Star Contributing Writer
While the season for actually getting outside and hitting golf balls might be over here in Western New York, there’s always time to talk about the sport we love. If you’ve played golf even once, you’ve almost certainly encountered someone and thought, “Are they supposed to be doing that?” Or perhaps something like, “I sure wish they would stop that.” If you haven’t ever thought that while out on the golf course, well…I have news for you: you probably are that guy that people are talking about. So I’m here to help you to not be “that” guy on the golf course. Here are some behaviors to avoid in the future. • The Chronically Late Guy — Oh man, we’re starting out with one that really irritates me. If you’re playing at a course that requires tee times, being late is nothing short of a mortal sin. If you’re just playing at a public course, however, this can still be infuriating. Your group doesn’t want to sit in the parking lot and wait for you while watching that foursome of walkers meander its way to the first tee box ahead of your group. And if something unavoidable makes you late, whatever you do, be ready to go once you finally get there. Don’t take forever to change your shoes and poke around the pro shop, etc. • The Unprepared Guy — Here’s a helpful hint: If you’re going to play golf, you probably need tees and golf balls. A bag of 200 tees is less than five bucks. You can get a dozen refurbished balls for about $10. Yes, your group almost certainly has plenty to share, but come on. • The Pro VI Guy — Listen, I’m sure Phil Mickelson or Jordan Spieth can tell the difference between the top tier golf balls and just some random Top Flight you find at the bottom of your bag, but I’m willing to bet that it makes no difference in your game. I’m hesitant to tell you to stop because it’s fun for us guys playing behind you to find a nice new Callaway Chromesoft or Titleist Pro VI ball that you lost in the rough, but if you’re shooting a 110, the type of ball you’re using is the least of your worries. • The Foot Wedge Guy — We’ve all been guilty of improving our lie a little bit with the old foot wedge. I’ve done it when I physically can’t reach my ball from under a tree, etc. Dire times call for it sometimes. This is more aimed at the players that will give their ball a boot from the rough onto the fairway. Or the guy who kicks his ball 10 feet to the right so he doesn’t have to punch around a tree. I’m far from Mr. Play It As It Lies, but at some point you have to have some respect for the game. • The Never Shuts Up Guy — I get it. You haven’t been together with your buddies in a few months and you want to catch up on the golf course. There’s nothing wrong with that. The problem comes when you choose the middle of someone’s backswing to ask about their daughter’s spelling bee. Com’on, man. Just let me hit my drive. Truth be told, I’m personally not all that distracted by people talking during my swing, but some people liken that to slapping their mother. • The Can’t Keep Score Guy — “This putt is for birdie.” Oh, so we’re just going to forget about those two flubs you had coming down the fairway? Again, I don’t take golf too seriously. I want to get better and play well any time I go out there, but I’ve never once directly competed with anyone. If you want to take a par when you probably got a double-bogey, that’s up to you. If you’re playing with my group, however, you’ll probably get hit with a “that’s a bold move.” There are so many types of people NOT to be while playing golf. I feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface with these six. I’ll be back next week with another slate of stereotypes to avoid. Until then, golf is great. Go get some.

2018 Porsche 718 Cayman: New Car Review
Contributed Article Autotrader
Love the way the Porsche 911 looks and drives, but its window sticker is out of your league? Take a spin in the 2018 Porsche 718 Cayman. The 911's little brother is actually a more pure, more engaging sports car, a throwback to earlier Porsche cars when modest power and perfect balance (the latter an attribute of the mid-engine design) were the hallmarks of the brand. Heavily revised last year, the latest 718 Cayman and 718 Cayman S have only four cylinders and are turbocharged, producing more power and possessing a fundamentally different (if controversial) character. Changes were also made to the manual transmission to make it easier to operate the clutch, while the suspension and steering were altered to improve both ride and handling. The result is a car that is without question the faster and more engaging car around corners, but that has arguably lost some engine responsiveness and audible exuberance from its predecessor. What's New for 2018? Fresh from its major makeover last year, the 2018 Porsche 718 Cayman sees only a few cosmetic upgrades and color choices. Later in the year, the 718 Cayman GTS is expected to make its debut. What We Like Sublime handling; strong and efficient engines; excellent interior quality; highly customizable; easy-to-drive manual transmission What We Don't New engines have lost some response and character; too many things are options How Much? $56,350-$130,000
Fuel Economy The base 718 Cayman is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that produces 300 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. Every Boxster is rear-wheel drive and comes standard with a 6-speed manual transmission. A dual-clutch automated manual transmission called PDK is an option. Fuel economy estimates are 21 miles per gallon in the city, 28 mpg on the highway and 24 mpg in combined driving with the manual. The PDK raises those estimates to 22 mpg city/29 mpg hwy/25 mpg combined. The 718 Cayman S has a 2.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder good for 350 hp and 309 lb-ft of torque. Its fuel economy estimates are 20 mpg city/26 mpg hwy/22 mpg combined with the manual and 21 mpg city/28 mpg hwy/24 mpg combined with the PDK. Standard Features & Options The 2018 Porsche 718 Cayman is available in Cayman and Cayman S models, which largely differ by engine. The 718 Boxster is the convertible version and is reviewed separately. The base 718 Cayman ($56,350) comes standard with 18-inch wheels, summer performance tires, heated mirrors, a rearview camera, front- and rear-parking sensors, bi-xenon headlights, LED running lights, single-zone automatic climate control, power-reclining front seats (manual fore-aft, height adjustment), partial leather seating, a leatherwrapped steering wheel, Bluetooth, the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) touchscreen interface, two USB ports, a media player interface, a CD player, an auxiliary audio jack, satellite radio, HD Radio and a 6-speaker sound system. The 718 Cayman S ($68,750) adds a bigger engine and 19-in wheels. The options list is enormous, ranging from performance enhancements and convenience equipment to customization items like color-keyed trim pieces. Virtually everything can be added a la carte, though there are a handful of packages available to make ordering a little easier. Performance-enhancing items include the PDK automatic transmission, the PASM adjustable suspension, carbon ceramic brakes, a torque-vectoring
rear differential, a sport exhaust and the Sport Chrono package (extra drive modes, a stability control sport mode and launch control with PDK). Comfort and convenience items include adaptive cruise control, a blind spot monitoring system, keyless entry and ignition, LED headlights, power-folding mirrors, auto-dimming mirrors and automatic wipers (packaged together), dual-zone automatic climate control, a heated multifunction steering wheel, 10-way power seats (include 4-way lumbar and memory functions), 14-way adaptive sport seats (adds adjustable side and bottom bolsters, wider shoulder bolsters and a power-adjustable steering wheel), heated seats, ventilated seats, a full leather interior, a navigation system, a Bose Surround Sound audio system ($990), a Burmester Surround Sound audio system ($4,690) and Porsche Connect (includes Apple CarPlay and a variety of safety remote services). Safety The 718 Cayman comes standard with anti-lock brakes, stability control, frontknee airbags, seat-mounted side body airbags, door-mounted side head airbags, a rearview camera and parking sensors. The optional adaptive cruise control system includes a forward-collision warning and automatic braking system. There's also a blind spot monitoring system available called Lane Change Assist. The optional Porsche Connect provides automatic emergency assistance and remote services like a stolen vehicle locator and remote door locking/unlocking. The Cayman has not been subjected to third-party crash tests.
Behind the Wheel The 718 Cayman is one of the best cars to drive, period. With its midengine, rear-wheel-drive layout and the added rigidity of its hardtop body, few cars (if any) can match its balance, athleticism, poise and engagement. Plus, impressively quick steering only enhances the 718 Cayman's razor-sharp reflexes. Now, those observations apply to every Cayman, but your driving experience will greatly depend upon the options you select. The base 2.0-liter engine offers impressive power, but its responsiveness and sound leave a bit to be desired. Opting for the 2.5-liter is quite pricey, but it's ultimately a more thrilling and suitable choice. We would also recommend sticking with the manual transmission -- yes, the optional PDK produces quicker shifts and is one of the best automatics produced, but the manual is easy to drive and adds back a layer of engagement that's been stripped away by the turbo engines' deeper well of low-end power. Another important option to consider is Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), which alters the suspension for optimal ride and handling. The gap between its Normal and Sport settings is fairly wide, making it more comfortable when you want it to be and more capable of attacking a twisting road when you need it to be. You can also further enhance handling by lowering the car with PASM Sport or specifying the Porsche Torque Vectoring system (a rear differential lock), while the Sport Exhaust system makes the engine note a little more bassy at the touch of a button.
