By melding the roles of artist and cultural historian, Enrique Chagoya has made a name for himself as he creates alternative interpretations of current events. Chagoya turns his attention to current socio-political events for the first exhibition of 2018 in the Cathy and Jesse Marion Art Gallery at the State University of New York at Fredonia. “Aliens Sans Frontières” (Aliens Without Borders) opens Jan. 19. The title is taken from a 2016 lithograph by Chagoya. Chagoya will speak about his artwork as part of the Visual Arts and New Media Department’s Visiting Artist Program on Thursday, Jan. 25, at 8:30 p.m. in McEwen Hall, Room 209. The artist will also be present at a reception in the Marion Art Gallery Friday, Jan. 26, from 7 to 9 p.m. All programs are free and open to the public. A free exhibition catalog is available by visiting or contacting the gallery. Drawing from his experiences living on both sides of the United States-Mexico border in the late ’70s (and also in Europe in the late ’90s), Chagoya juxtaposes secular, popular, and religious symbols in order to address ongoing cultural clashes between the United States and Latin America, and around the world. He uses familiar pop icons to create deceptively friendly points of entry for the discussion of complex issues. Chagoya was born in Mexico City. At the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México in Mexico City he studied political economics and contributed political cartoons to union newsletters. As a student, he was sent to work on rural development projects, an experience that strengthened his interest in political and social activism. At age 26, Chagoya moved to Berkeley, Calif., and began working as a free-lance illustrator and graphic designer. Disheartened by what he considered to be the narrow political scope of

economics programs in local colleges, Chagoya turned his interests to art. He enrolled in the San Francisco Art Institute, where he earned a BFA in printmaking. He then pursued his MA and MFA at the University of California, Berkeley. He moved to San Francisco in 1995 and began teaching in the Department of Art and Art History at Stanford University, where he is now a full professor. Chagoya has been exhibiting his work nationally and internationally for over two decades including recent major retrospectives. His artwork can be found in many public collections. He is the recipient of numerous awards including two National Endowment for the Arts fellowships, American Academy of Arts and Letters Visual Arts Award, residencies at Giverny (Lila Wallace Foundation/Foundation Monet) and Cité Internationale des Arts in France, and a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation fellowship.

Ellington Library Hosts Author
Contributed Article Ellington Library
Local author J. Andersen will be at the Ellington Farman Library on Thursday January 18 from 6-7 p.m. to speak on her “Destiny by Design” Trilogy. The first two books in this young adult genre series, “The Breeding Tree” and “The Gene Rift” have been published with the third book, “Legacy’s Impact” in contract. Anderson has been a resident of Chautauqua County for most of her life and remembers having always wanted to write books. She believes that when people are meant to do something, it is ingrained in them at a young age. Anderson said she chose the young adult fiction genre after teaching secondary English for many years. Both books speak about a future world where “The Institute” will only allow perfect, genetically modified babies to survive. For more information on her books, visit www. jandersen-books.com. The books are available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and local bookstores and libraries. Come meet the author and ask your questions about her books and about the writing profession. Ellington Farman Library is located at 760 Thornton Rd, Ellington NY. Call 287-2945 or check our Facebook site for more information on this and any of our library programs.

Tips to Stay Safe During Winter Sports Contributed Article NewsUSA
The weather outside might be frightful, but that doesn't stop winter sports enthusiasts. While some want to sit inside with hot cocoa and a book, others hit the slopes, lace up their skates or pull out their sleds. But when Americans are unprepared for winter exertion, they can set themselves up for injury. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that 84,000 skiers, 30,000 skaters, 30,000 hockey players, 20,000 sledders and tobogganers and 19,000 snowmobilers enter emergency rooms each season. With a little preparation, winter sports enthusiasts can lessen their risk of injury. Here are some tips for athletes who want to hit the slopes more than once this winter: • Take a lesson or two. You probably didn't ski, skate or snowmobile over the summer, so taking a refresher course with a professional can help you brush up on basics. Beginners sustain more injuries than experienced athletes, so arm yourself with knowledge before
you put the ski to snow. • Learn about any new gear. Ask your instructor to explain equipment. Many injuries result from ill-fitting or improperly applied equipment. • Dress properly. Jeans and a hoodie won't cut it on the slopes. Wear layers, because your body temperature will change as you exercise at different levels of intensity. Wear a head band or hat to keep in warmth, and wear waterproof gloves. Use several layers of warm socks. • Prepare yourself for sore muscles. If you haven't skied since last winter, you're going to work some new muscles. Prepare for inevitable aches and pains by taking an internal pain reliever, such as ibuprofen, and applying a topical liquid pain reliever like Absorbine Jr., which penetrates muscles to help soothe pain. • Stay hydrated. Drinking water is just as important in the winter as it is in the summer. If drinking cold water sounds like torture, opt for hot tea, which can both warm and hydrate your body. For information on Absorbine Jr. and where to find it, visit www.absorbinejr.com.

West African Dance Troupe to Perform at Fredonia Contributed Article SUNY Fredonia
The Saakumu Dance Troupe, a leading traditional/contemporary dance and music group in Ghana, West Africa, will give a public performance on Wednesday, Jan. 24 at 8 p.m., in Rosch Recital Hall at the State University of New York at Fredonia. Repertoire of the group, led by Bernard Woma, master of the Ghanaian “gyil” xylophone, encompasses spiritual, ceremonial and recreational genres and contemporary African dance forms. Their music and dance – described as joyful, expressive and highly participatory – features the African xylophone, drums, calabash water drums and the praise singing of the Akan and Dagbamba people of Ghana. Performances by the group, whose name means traditions, are given at important government functions as well as national and international music and dance festivals throughout Ghana and West Africa. Fredonia’s Percussion Guild of the Student Association is hosting Saakumu’s campus visit, which will be a homecoming for Woma. He formerly taught in the School of Music and is a Fredonia graduate. Also part of the evening is a dinner at 6 p.m., open to the public, in the Horizon Room in the Williams Center. The menu will include traditional dishes, such as Joloff chicken and rice, Red Red (rice and beans) with hot sauce, plantains and a dessert platter of tropical fruits. Dinner tickets must be purchased by Jan. 16. A combo ticket (dinner and performance) is $20 for the general public and available at the Fredonia Ticket Office in the Williams Center. Tickets for the performance only are $5. Fredonia students wanting a combo ticket may purchase one from the Fredonia Ticket Office, or use points by presenting their FREDCard in person at the ticket office. Students with identification may attend the performance only for free, but they must have a ticket, available at the ticket office, for admission. The dinner and performance are both general admission events.

Sometimes the best advice comes from someone who’s been there, done that. So, if you’re resolving to lose weight, why not consider the wisdom of someone who faced this challenge, and did so with great success?

Water also helps you feel full and potentially eat less. Sometimes when you think you are hungry, you are actually just thirsty. Aim for 64 ounces per day.

“Cervical cancer is most often found in women who have never had a Pap test or who have not had one in the past five years, so it’s especially important for these women to get screened,” said Schuyler. “We encourage women not to delay their screening, and to talk to their doctor or call the Cancer Services Program.” Another way to prevent cervical cancer is by being vaccinated against the human papilloma virus (HPV). Research has shown that most cervical cancers are caused by HPV. The HPV vaccine is recommended for boys and girls between the ages of 9 and 14 and young adults through age 26. Ask your health care provider for more details.
Some women are at higher risk for cervical cancer. Women who smoke are about twice as likely to get cervical cancer compared to non-smokers, and cervical cancer is more often found in women over the age of 30. For more information about risk factors for cervical cancer, please visit https://www.health. ny.gov/diseases/cancer/cervical/. In addition to cervical cancer screening, the CSP also provides free breast and colorectal cancer screening to eligible New York State residents.

Can Chiropractic Care Help Fight Presenteeism At Work? Contributed Article NewsUSA
There's a name for what may be ailing some businesses and their employees: presenteeism. That's when people show up for work but don't perform at full capacity, and - for one big reason - definitely not to be confused with those who routinely waste time at their desks, say, watching the latest cat video to go viral. That reason? Underlying health problems - including chronic conditions like back pain, headaches, and arthritis - that leave them muddling through the day. "Underlying the research on presenteeism is the assumption that employees do not take their jobs lightly, that most of them need and want to continue working if they can," the Harvard Business Review reported. Many say the problem has only been exacerbated by the current opioid crisis, and that it's in employers' interests to see that their workers have access to safer options to such potentially addictive (or worse) prescription painkillers like OxyContin. One popular approach for relief from neuro-musculoskeletal issues like low-back and neck pain - drug-free chiropractic care - has actually been incorporated in on-site wellness programs by companies like Google, Apple and Facebook.

Office for the Aging Director's Article JANUARY 2018 - COLD WEATHER
Contributed Article By Dr. Mary Ann Spanos, Director
Chautauqua County Office for the Aging
This weather certainly reminds me of my childhood, growing up in Buffalo and experiencing the blizzard of 1977. My mother was stranded in Niagara Falls and my father stayed at our family Pharmacy on the west side for a week while the National Guard delivered his medicines to people. Extreme cold temperatures and “white-outs” from blowing and drifting snow were normal winter happenings. The last few years, mild winter temperatures and snowfall has made many of us a little complacent about cold weather safety. Many seniors who live in Western New York are smart. When the weather is bad and the temperature is below zero, they do not venture out. They know lifting heavy snow can put an extra strain on the heart so they hire someone to plow or get help from family and friends. However, this does not mean that seniors are totally safe from hypothermia and other health threats during the cold weather season. As we age, we actually lose body heat a lot faster than when we were young and we are less aware of the cold. Hypothermia, or a drop in core body temperature below 95 degrees for an older person, can cause serious health problems in older adults affecting the heart, kidneys and liver. Hypothermia usually happens when we are outside too long in extremely cold temperatures, but what most people do not realize is it can also occur in a very cold house. The National Institutes of Health has published a brochure on Cold Weather Safety for Older Adults. I was particularly struck by Bob’s story...“Vermont win-
ters can be very cold. Last December, I wanted to save some money so I turned my heat down to 62°F. I didn’t know that would put my health in danger. Luckily, my son Tyler came by to check on me. He saw that I was only wearing a light shirt and that my house was cold. Ty said I was speaking slowly, shivering, and having trouble walking. He wrapped me in a blanket and called 911. Turns out I had hypothermia. My son’s quick thinking saved my life. Now on cold days, I keep my heat at least at 68°F and wear a sweater in the house.” This story could be anyone of us. People who are sick or have certain chronic conditions may have special problems keeping warm. People who live alone are especially vulnerable to hypothermia because there is no one else to feel the chilliness of the house or notice if they are having symptoms of hypothermia. Make sure you dress warmly and follow these tips to keep warm while inside: • Set your thermostat at 68°F or higher. To save on heating bills, close doors and vents to unused rooms and place a rolled towel in front doors to keep out drafts. • Keep your blinds and curtains closed to prevent drafts from windows. • Wear socks and slippers, in addition to dressing warmly and keep a blanket handy to throw over your legs when sitting for long periods. • When you go to sleep, wear long underwear and use extra covers. Wear a hat to bed so you don’t lose heat from your head. • Make sure you eat enough food. People with low weight have less fat under their skin to keep them warm. If you are having trouble making meals, remember Meals on Wheels delivers all year long. CONTINUED ON PAGE 19

Why Social Media Matters

commit to and then stick to it. Reveal your goals. Let your online audiences know where you’re headed. Are you gaining a master’s degree so you can positively impact a community? Are you building a career in cyber security because you care about data privacy? Let your online audiences know what you care about and work toward. Carefully select your contacts. I believe your online network should be more quality over quantity. That said, to know a lot of influencers and key contacts online gives you access to even more stakeholders. Share information with others. Be willing to share content, ideas, information and insight with your online audiences. Social networking means two-way conversations. Your goal will be to engage dialog. Celebrate the success of your contacts. When someone you’re connected to gets a promotion, new client, or award, you should congratulate them, just as you would in person. This shows you are interested in the success of others, not just your own. Ask for help. When you need insight, contacts, information or advice, your online network can provide great help! Some people worry about asking for help online, for fear it shows weakness. The op-
posite is true! When someone asks for assistance, it lets others help and that makes your contacts feel great. 9. Stay consistent. It is critical to be consistent online with who you are in person. It doesn’t serve you well to represent yourself as someone more intelligent/polished/sophisticated, etc. online when you aren’t that way in real life. 10. Measure what works. As you work your online strategy to meet your career goals, see what’s working for you – then repeat that behavior! Social media involves trial and error, and anyone who has built a successful online brand constantly refines their strategy. Today, social media is truly a platform to amplify and build your personal brand and image. When used correctly, sites like LinkedIn provide tremendous positioning, research capabilities, and the ability to connect to like-minded individuals and influencers. Developed through the VFW’s collaboration with Lida Citroën of the international brand strateg y firm LIDA360, this article is part of the VFW’s expanding education and transitioning services, resources and webinars designed to provide service members and veterans transitioning to the civilian workforce with an opportunity to learn about personal branding and strategies for navigating the job search process. To learn more about Lida’s commitment to the veteran community, check out her recent TEDX talk.

Alcoholic drinks can actually make you lose more body heat by dilating your blood vessels so keep these to a minimum. If a power outage leaves you without heat, try to stay with a relative or friend or contact our office for assistance and a list of warming shelters. If you decide to use a space heater be aware that some heater styles can be a fire hazard and others can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Never use a gas range to heat your house as this can also cause a build up of deadly carbon monoxide. If the power goes out and you are using a portable generator, these must be placed outside not in the garage, basement, or enclosed spaces. If you have a carbon monoxide detector please check the batteries and test that it is working properly. I hope family, friends, and neighbors will continue to check on the elderly during the cold winter months even if they are not venturing out to make sure they are staying warm and healthy. For more information on cold weather safety, generator safety, HEAP or any other topics mentioned in this article contact the NY Connects Helpline at 753-4582, 363-4582, or 661-7582. The full brochure on cold weather safety from the National Institutes of Health is posted on our FaceBook page, which you can find by going to www.facebook.com and searching for “Chautauqua County Office for the Aging.”

Prendergast Library to Hold JHS Students & Staff Donate $1,500 to Love School PACT Program Short Film Festival Contributed Article
Contributed Article
Prendergast Library
JPS
The Prendergast Library will hold a film festival on February 9, featuring short films submitted by members of the community. Participants can visit the Makerspace throughout the month of January to work on their film with free equipment and assistance. Films must not exceed 5 minutes in length, Library volunteer Brandon Caruso prepares to film a scene in the or contain inappropriate library’s makerspace. content. The four winning films will be played in the Community Room of the Library on February 9, at 3:30 p.m. First prize will be given “The Prendy Award” along with a $25 gift card. The three runners-up will receive a “Prendy Jr. Award” and a book sale voucher. To register for the festival and learn more about the submission process, visit the library’s Makerspace or Reference Desk.
Jamestown High School recently donated $1,500 in toys, games, books, clothing and monetary donations to the Love Elementary School PACT (Parent and Children Together) program to make the holidays brighter for Love School families. Over nine years, JHS students and staff, led by teacher Mike Tuccio, have donated $7,700 to the program. “This was our biggest year ever,” said Mr. Tuccio. “I think it’s important to get everyone involved in helping out people who have less. It needs to happen all year round but the holiday season is always a reminder to help out. All of the donations stay local and it’s so great for our community.” The students understand the importance of the donations. “I think it’s good as a student to do a project like this because it helps the people in our community and also brings together people by doing such a great thing,” said JHS senior Henry Malarkey. The Jamestown Community Learning Council’s PACT (Parents And Children Together) Program gets parents very involved in their child’s education. Parents make a commitment when they enroll their child in the Love Universal Prekindergarten Program to come to school on a weekly basis. They also have an opportunity to go into their child’s classroom weekly, not only to see what their child is learning, but also to learn ways to teach their children at home – a great home-school connection. “The efforts of the JHS students are admirable!” said Jamestown Community Learning Council’s Executive Director Rosary Kolivas. “It is such a great lesson in giving back and paying it forward. They are the inspiration for a bright future of community-minded citizens. In this day and age, their kindness helps us be mindful that there is still good in this world despite all the bad news we hear about. The PACT program families are the lucky recipients.”

Forestville Chiropractic P.C. 2017 Christmas Giving Tree a Huge Success Contributed Article

In November 2017 Forestville Chiropractic, P.C reached out to the community to ask for help for nominations in the area for those families who needed a little help this year for the Christmas Holiday. Due to the overwhelming responses, our clinic sponsored nine families and we were able to organize each family’s needs with tags that adorned our tree in our waiting room. Locals and patients were able to take tags and make those dreams come true for each person. In total, we received over 115 gifts for those nine families and were successfully delivered just before Christmas. We wanted to thank those locals who participated and helped put smiles on each of those families faces as well as many local businesses who donated including; Lawley Tradition Agency, Gugino Plumbing and Heating, Wiskey Hill Saloon, Tops Markets (Silver Creek & Fredonia), Dunkirk Movie Plex, Lucky Lanes, Maria’s Pizzaria, Upper Crust, Denny’s and Wing City.

How to Protect Your Expensive New Smartphone Contributed Article StatePoint
The latest smartphones have some cool new features, but they come with hefty price tags, and such devices are not necessarily built-to-last. The new iPhone X, for example, recently hit the market at a $1,000 starting price and experts say it’s extremely fragile. With its all-glass design, you may be wondering if it’s worth the investment. Recent tests conducted by SquareTrade using scientific robots to drop, bend, tumble, and dunk devices, revealed the iPhone X to be one of the most breakable iPhone models ever made, shattering on its first face down drop. “Without taking a few key precautions, consumers are likely going to spend more than the $1,000 they’ve already invested in their phone over their devices’ lifetime,” says Jason Siciliano, vice president global creative director at SquareTrade. To protect your investment, whether you have an iPhone X or any another mobile device, Siciliano recommends the following. Cover Up Your new phone may have a sleek design you want to show off, but not using a case is a big mistake. With so many designs on the market, as well as opportunities to customize, there is no reason these days not to better protect your phone. The breakability tests conducted by SquareTrade revealed damage that went beyond cosmetic issues, compromising the device’s operability in a number of ways. Consider what your hobbies include, and find a case durable enough to withstand your lifestyle. A screen protector is also a great idea, guarding against scratches and residue. Get Covered With potential repair costs on the rise, protection plans are becoming more important than ever. For example, the iPhone X has a thinner, costlier OLED
screen that’s more expensive to replace, a smaller logic board, multiple cables, and a split battery that’s more difficult to remove. All of which may be why Apple is charging $279 for front screen replacement and $549 for other repairs. Accidents are often beyond one’s control. So, don’t have a false sense of security regarding drops and spills. However, protection plans can be affordable. For example, those offered by SquareTrade cover old or new devices, for both accidents and common malfunctions such as battery failure and charging port failure. Phones can be repaired at-home, at local repair shops or by mail. And if you have an Apple device, you can simply have your Genius Bar bill reimbursed. For more information on protection plans for today’s most popular smartphones, visit squaretrade.com. Being a savvy consumer goes beyond making the latest tech purchase. It also means making your purchase last. Take smart steps to protect your smartphone.

Come to Audubon Nature Play Day Sunday, January 21 Contributed Article
Audubon Community Nature Center
With lots of snow to look forward to, Audubon Community Nature Center’s January Nature Play Day should be great fun for kids and adults alike. Children aged two to eight and their favorite grownups can drop in Audubon’s Nature Play Area anytime from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, January 21. This is an opportunity for you and the young one(s) in your life to explore unstructured outdoor play in a safe environment and learn how to continue the nature play experience at home. Extra materials will be placed in the play area, and a naturalist will be present to answer questions and provide information. Unstructured play outdoors is beneficial to a child’s physical and mental development as well as their understanding and appreciation of the natural world. However, concerns about safety, location, materials and the value of play are often barriers in creating these experiences. This program aims to inspire both kids and adults to make discoveries and feel more comfortable about the natural world through play. Community Nature Center invites two to eight year olds and their favorite adults to Nature Play Children can play as long as they like as long as their adults stay with them. Par- Audubon Day outdoors on Sunday afternoon, January 21. There is so much fun to be had in the snow! ents may want to bring a chair, snack and water or a warm drink. Be sure to dress in layers of warm clothing. Waterproof or water resistant gloves or mittens are recommended. Fee is $6 per child, ages two to eight; no charge for adults. Pay on arrival or online through the Programs page at auduboncnc.org. While Nature Play Day is planned for rain, snow, or shine, in the case of severe weather, the program will be cancelled; call (716) 569-2345 to confirm. Audubon education programs are funded with support from the Carnahan Jackson Foundation, Jessie Smith Darrah Fund, Holmberg Foundation, Hultquist Foundation, and Lenna Foundation. Located at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, New York, and Warren, Pennsylvania, the Audubon Community Nature Center has more than five miles of beautifully maintained trails on a 600-acre wetland preserve. Its three-story building, open daily, houses the Blue Heron Gift Shop and a collection of live fish, reptiles, and amphibians. Interactive displays focus visitors’ attention on ways to celebrate nature hands-on. One of the most visited exhibits is Liberty, a non-releasable bald eagle, in her outdoor habitat. To learn more about Audubon and its many programs, call (716) 569-2345 or visit auduboncnc.org. Audubon Community Nature Center builds and nurtures connections between people and nature by providing positive outdoor experiences, opportunities to learn about and understand the natural world, and knowledge to act in environmentally responsible ways.

Launched in 2002 by MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership (MENTOR) and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, National Mentoring Month focuses national attention on the need for mentors, as well as how each of us—individuals, businesses, government agencies, schools, faith communities and nonprofits—can work together to increase the number of mentors to help ensure positive outcomes for our young people. This campaign celebrates mentoring and the positive effect it can have on young lives. Its goals are to: • Raise awareness of mentoring in its various forms • Recruit individuals to mentor, especially in programs that have waiting lists of young people • Promote the rapid growth of mentoring by recruiting organizations to engage their constituents in mentoring National partners work with local leaders to organize special events in their communities supported by local media outlets and public officials. These events help interested adults learn how to turn their concern for young people into direct action by becoming mentors. Each year since its launch, National Mentoring Month has enjoyed the strong support of the U.S. President and members of Congress. Other well-known supporters include the late Maya Angelou, Clint Eastwood, Senator John McCain, Quincy Jones, General Colin L. Powell, Cal Ripken, Jr., Bill Russell and Usher.

Chautauqua Lake, Rowe Family Celebrate Wrestling Milestones
Contributed Article
Chautauqua Lake Central School District
When two members of the Rowe family of Ripley were recently honored for milestones in their athletic careers, the event became a celebration for the extended family. At left, Superintendent Ben Spitzer presents a plaque marking 150 varsity wrestling victories to senior Bryce Rowe. Next, Principal Josh Liddell, who supervises athletics programs at Chautauqua Lake, presents a plaque to wrestling coach Brad Rowe in honor of his 100 dual meet victories. Also attending the ceremony were young Finn and Darwin Rowe, Ken Rowe, Brendan Rowe and Dom Rammelt. Brad, who has been varsity wrestling head coach at Chautauqua Lake since 2013, held the same position at Ripley Central School from 2008 to 2013. Bryce has been a varsity wrestler since 2012, first at Ripley and now at Chautauqua Lake. The accolades mark the family’s long-time commitment to excellence in wrestling.

Golfer's
D i a ry
By Stefan Gestwicki
Why Do I Golf?
Star Contributing Writer
Aren’t hobbies fascinating? There are people that paint, write, quilt, photograph, work out, hike, play video games, scrapbook and a whole lot more. What sounds awful to some brings incomparable joy to others. But why, exactly, do we do the things we do? Well, this isn’t going to be a philosophy paper or anything, but I was curious why it is that I enjoy golf. So I decided to examine my addiction a little closer. First a quick background story: There was a time in my life during which I never would have dreamed of playing golf. I was playing fast-pitch softball and basketball as often as I could. I grew up playing baseball virtually every day. Golf was for old guys. That all changed when my brother-in-law finally convinced me to go to the driving range with him. I think he just wanted some company more than anything else. Well, I was immediately hooked. I think I had my clubs ordered from eBay before I even got home. It was love at first sight…or something. Here’s why I continue to adore golf: • COMPETITION — As a life-long athlete, the thrill of the competition is something that never gets old. Toeing the rubber with the ball in my hand, knowing that I could win or lose the game with the next pitch. Driving the paint as the clock winds down. Taking the baton for the final leg of the 4x400 relay needing to fend off the rival’s stud runner. These are things that you miss once you get out of organized sports. Golf gives me that feeling, but in a different way. I’ve golfed with dozens of different people over the years and I don’t remember directly competing with any of them. The game is a constant competition with myself. I keep track of my averages. I try to beat them. I remember what I did on a hole the previous round. I try to do better. In fact, my cousin Nick and I have started to add our scores together. Then we try to beat that the next time. That way we’re working together and both need to play well. • EXERCISE AND FRESH AIR — For the first four years I played, I exclusively walked. Now I get a cart fairly often, but still walk a lot of the courses I play. Even when getting a cart, of course, it’s just so nice to be outside. I don’t have to tell you that our warm weather doesn’t last too long here in Western New York, so golf is a great excuse to enjoy those perfect summer days. • CAMARADERIE — This is an obvious, but also critically important one. The people you golf with can make all the difference in the world. I have friends that I didn’t see or talk to for 10 years, but golf brought us together again. Even my cousin Nick and I hadn’t been terribly close since we were much younger, but now we hang out on the golf course (and then the board game table) extremely often. My brother-in-law lives in North Carolina and we only see each other maybe once a year. Yet when that happens, we always make sure we know where the nearest golf course is. On the flip side, I tried to golf solo this past summer because I simply couldn’t find anyone to go with one evening. It was truly terrible. There’s no one to laugh with you when you do something embarrassing. There’s no one to high-five after a sinking a long putt. You need golf buddies. • FUN — I mean, really, this is what it all comes down to. I just have so much fun playing golf. The sights, the sounds, the smells – it’s just an amazing sport. I can’t remember what I had for lunch today, but I remember like it was yesterday the putt I made to break 40 for the first time. I can still envision the walk up the fairway when my buddy aced No. 4 at Pinehurst. The sound of Bryan’s ball bouncing off the random power box at the edge of the pond still echoes in my ears. Some of my favorite moments of the past five years have happened on the golf course and that’s just priceless. Here’s to forming new memories in 2018. Until then, golf is great. Go get some.

The proof comes from Congleton Service, a shop in Vermont that's becoming increasingly well known as having the go-to experts on the Range Rover Classic. I've heard of many people sending Range Rover Classics to Congleton in order to sort out their numerous faults, bypassing many Land Rover dealerships and independent mechanics along the way. Well, Congleton has taken that expertise and turned it into what has to be basically the first full restoration of a Range Rover Classic yet: Congleton calls it the Congleton Certified #001, and it's a 1994 Range Rover with basically every single part replaced, or refinished, or polished, or beautified, to the point where this thing looks exactly as it did when it drove off the production line nearly 25 years ago. According to Congleton, "All 7,400 components are fully disassembled before the restoration and modification can begin, and the finished product is as new." Actually, it's better than new -- because Congleton offers a dramatic engine upgrade, too. According to Congleton, its restored Range Rover Classic models can be fitted with a 5.0-liter V8 that basically doubles the horsepower of the original and cuts the 0-to-60 time in half. The new engine is also based on an existing Land Rover V8, meaning you still have some
