Michael Lokietek before the creation of the Family Church Fredonia world (Ephesians 3:11) fcfredonia.org and promises in Jeremiah 29:11 that these plans Dear Pastor, I just feel are always good ones; for you as well as for Him! like last year was a This should be a comfortbad year for me and ing and exciting truth! now I face the new one with uncertainty. It shows that everyone has a part, purpose, and Can you help? destiny in the kingdom I’m sorry last year was of God. When we grasp difficult.

But rest assured. instead of trying to live The Bible tells us that a life of “just getting we “are in the world, but through”! not of the world” and I’ve heard people say that that God’s plans are not “we are born already dictated or altered by dying”.

It Pays to Prep Your Tires for Winter Roads Contributed Article NewsUSA

Driving safely in the winter can be a challenge, even for the most experienced driver. In fact, an alarming three in five winter drivers (61 percent) have lost control of their car during winter weather, according to a new winter driving survey by Michelin.

It comes as no surprise, then, that three quarters of respondents reported feeling nervous on winter roads (77 percent), with 64 percent of drivers saying they avoid winter driving altogether if the forecast predicts snow.

But you don't have to avoid getting in your car in the winter. With a little preparation - starting from the ground up (literally) - you can travel safely even when the weather is less than ideal.

"Tires are one of the least-discussed safety devices on your vehicle, so many consumers aren't aware of just how much they contribute to keeping you safe on the road," says Ron Margadonna, Michelin winter tire expert.

Michelin urges all drivers to use the proper tires for their seasonal climate. Most cars these days come outfitted with all-season tires, but if you live in an area with severe winter conditions (heavy snow, ice or freezing temps), they may not be sufficient.

All-season tires are designed to perform well in a large range of conditions, but aren't built to handle winter's worst.

Alternatively, winter tires such as the Michelin X-Ice Xi3 are designed to perform better in a wide range of wintry conditions, such as wet roads, snow, ice and freezing temps. They also improve your vehicle's grip and performance in these conditions and shorten your braking distances for better safety.

For winter driving safety at all times, practice these additional tips: • Inspect your lights: Examine your headlights and brake lights to ensure that they're fully functioning. This is especially important during winter fogs or heavy snow.

• Make sure your wipers are in proper working condition: Buy washer fluid with antifreeze solution to protect visibility and ensure that windshield blades are in good working order.

• Always have an Emergency Kit: Carry an emergency kit with gloves, blanket, flares, a shovel, flashlight, water, extra batteries and cell phone charger, as well as an emergency contact list with important phone numbers.

• Check your battery: Battery capacity is decreased significantly by cold weather. Before the winter months, have your mechanic check it to ensure that it's at peak performance. It's also a good idea to carry jumper cables in your car, should you ever need someone to give you a boost.

Opera House Presents National Theatre Live’s Young Marx Contributed Article

1891 Fredonia Opera House

The 1891 Fredonia Opera House will present the National Theatre production of a new comedy, Young Marx, captured live via satellite from the stage of London’s Bridge Theatre, on Sat., Jan. 20, at 1 p.m.

Rory Kinnear (The Threepenny Opera, Penny Dreadful, Othello) is young Karl Marx and Oliver Chris (Twelfth Night) is Friedrich Engels in this new comedy written

by Richard Bean and Clive Coleman. The production is directed by Nicholas Hytner and reunites the creative team behind the hilarious Broadway and West End hit comedy One Man, Two Guvnors.

In Young Marx, it’s 1850 London; and Europe’s most feared terrorist is hiding out on Dean Street, in Soho. Broke, restless and horny, the 32-year-old revolutionary is a frothing combination of intellectual brilliance, invective, satiric wit, and child-like emotional illiteracy.

Creditors, spies, rival revolutionary factions and prospective seducers of his beautiful wife all circle like vultures. His writing is blocked,

his marriage is dying, his friend Engels is in despair at his wasted genius...his only hope is a job on the railway. Still, there’s no one in the capital who can show you a better night on the piss than Karl Heinrich Marx. The production runs two hours, 40 minutes with one intermission.

Tickets to Young Marx are $15 ($10 Students) and may be purchased in person at the Opera House Box Office or by phone at 716679-1891, Tuesday through Friday, 1-5 p.m.

They also may be purchased online any time at www.fredopera.org. In addition, Live in HD Series Flex Subscr iption tickets ($116 for eight tickets) can be used at any of the National Theatre Live productions.

The Opera House is equipped with assistive listening headsets for the hearing-impaired.

Simply request one from any usher or Opera House staff member. Support for the program comes from the United Arts Appeal of Chautauqua County and the Arts Services Initiative’s Give for Greatness program.

The 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a member-supported not-for-profit performing arts center located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia. For a complete schedule of events, visit www.fredopera.org.

Women in Leadership is Good for Jamestown’s Future Written by Todd J. Tranum, President and CEO of the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce & Executive Director of the Manufacturers Association of the Southern Tier We commend the women on the Jamestown City Council who now represent a majority. That is a major achievement and something we should all celebrate. Hopefully this will be an inspiration for more women to enter leadership roles in the community. We congratulate Marie Carrubba for being elected President of the Council. Being only the second woman to become City Council President is indicative of her dedication to the Council and the community.

Bringing more women and diversity into an organization tends to improve problem solving, trust, and collaboration. Jamestown City government is in desperate need of all three of these qualities. The trend of more women in leadership roles bodes well for the future of Jamestown and our region.

Comment Period Extended for DOL Scheduling Regs The public comment period for new proposed regulations regarding employee scheduling in New York State has been extended to January 22. As a result, employers still have an opportunity to provide input on the new rules, which are currently under consideration by the Department of Labor. Based on input received so far, employers have expressed concern that the regulations will place additional costs and administrative burdens on companies that rely on flexible scheduling of employees.

The regulations center around “on-call” and “call-in” scheduling, and would have a major effect on any business involved in shift work. These proposed rules would revise the call-in pay requirement of the Minimum Wage Order for Miscellaneous Industries and Occupations. We are concerned that these regulations will create more administrative and financial challenges for our members.

Opioid Addiction & Exposure Contributed Article CASAC

The Blackwell Chapel Baby Cafe' in conjunction with UMPC Chautauqua WCA hospital and the Alcohol Substance Abuse Council (CASAC) are offering (at no cost) an educational seminar for community members and professionals entitled "Opioid Addiction & Exposure." Davina A. Moss-King, PH.D., C.R.C., C.A.S.A.C, N.C.C. will present this seminar on Friday, February 9, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The 3 hour course will be offered at the UMPC Chautauqua WCA hospital auditorium, 207 Foote Ave, Jamestown New York.

Currently, there is a gap of information for opioid use involving pregnant women along with how the infant’s health and development is possibly compromised as a result of the opioid exposure during pregnancy. The opioid epidemic is not only affecting adults, but can have lasting effects on the smallest victims in this crisis. There is a concern for the short term and long-term effects as well as the strategies needed for the infant to reach all the developmental milestones with the proper supports. The information shared at this workshop will inform and prepare pregnant women with opioid use disorder to care for their infant. This training will also assist professionals working with the infants and their families to create plans for a brighter future for the infants. Participants will recognize the developmental disabilities and congenital disabilities that result from in utero opioid exposure; they will be able to describe the short- term and long - term effects from the infant being exposed to opioids; and they will learn to construct effective plans that support and enhance the development of the infant.

Davina A. Moss-King, Ph.D., C.R.C, N.C.C., C.A.S.A.C. is a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, a National Certified Counselor and a Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor in New York State. Dr. Moss-King has 24 years of counseling experience in the addictions field. She recently retired as an adjunct professor in the Department of Counseling and Human Services at Canisius College. She is the owner/president of Positive Direction and Associates, Inc., a company that focuses on treatment, counseling and aftercare for women with opioid addiction. She received her Master's degree in Deafness Rehabilitation from New York University in 1998 and her doctorate in Counselor Education from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 2005. Dr. Moss-King's publications are Unresolved Grief and Loss Issues Related to Heroin Recovery: Grief and Loss with Heroin Recovery, 2009, a chapter entitled Individual Treatment in the text book Substance Abuse Counseling: Theory and Practice 5th Edition - Edited

by Patricia Stevens and Robert L. Smith; and a course entitled Opioid Dependence during pregnancy for the Continuing Medical Education. Dr. Moss-King's research interest is heroin/opioid addiction and she has presented her research on acupuncture and opiate detoxification at the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association Conference and the Society for Acupuncture Research Confer-

Fun Ways Your Family Can Get Fit Together WMH Foundation’s Rising Thermometer

Contributed Article StatePoint

Is your fitness routine stuck in a rut? Searching for ways to spend more time with your family?

Why not combine these goals? There are a variety of ways to lead an active lifestyle that are suitable for the whole family and can include children of all ages.

Let these four creative ideas help you turn each day into an opportunity to get fit and have fun as a family, without stepping foot into the gym.

As with any workout, it’s important to have the proper gear, and that starts with footwear. So, each exercise below has a suggestion of what to look for when it comes to choosing the right shoe.

• Participate in a charity run/walk: Whether you’re a seasoned runner or have just signed up to run your first 5K, many fundraising races accommodate the entire family. For younger children, look for events that allow jogging strollers or that host a Fun Run. Events that show the importance of communities working together for a larger cause can provide a bonus to the fun.

Shoe to try: Nike, Adidas and Converse all have a variety of “updated classic” styles available in men, women and children’s sizing, so that every family member can find a pair that reflects their personalities, while also providing necessary support for race day.

• Outdoor activities: Heading outdoors to go camping or hiking burns calories, while providing incredible views and memories.

Shoe to try: Built to go off-roading, ASICS hiking shoes features reversed lugs on the outsole to ensure a dependable grip both uphill and downhill.

• HIIT: High-Intensity interval training is being incorporated into a lot of workouts these days. HIIT workouts alternate a quick, intense period of exercise, such as running or cycling, followed by a short, active recovery.

Shoe to try: A lightweight cross training shoes with a stable base -- such as a Nike Flex Trainer -- are a good selection when it comes to HIIT workouts.

• Bodyweight training: The benefits of bodyweight training are seemingly endless. From pushups to squats, these exercises require no additional equipment and can be done anywhere and performed with many modifications. Get creative with your family by doing a circuit of your favorite bodyweight exercises in the park.

Shoe to try: A shoe with a mesh and synthetic upper material is designed to keep feet cool. Find this feature in a style, such as the New Balance, which also have special midsoles to ensure comfort from start to finish.

New footwear is a great way for each family member to show his or her style, while getting motivated to meet fitness goals. Once you’ve got the plan in place, get into a fitness routine that works for your family and stick with it. For a one-stop-shopping experience, visit the Athletic Shop at Rack Room Shoes in stores or online.

To help ensure that everyone meets their fitness goals, consider combining fun family quality time with your workouts.

Opera House Cinema Series to Screen “Last Flag Flying” ACTIVE AND FORMER MILITARY RECEIVE DISCOUNT ADMISSION

Contributed Article

1891 Fredonia Opera House

The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is “Last Flag Flying,” starring Steve Carell, Laurence Fishburne and Bryan Cranston. It will be screened on Sat., Jan. 20, and Tues., Jan. 23, at 7:30 p.m. Active and former members of the Armed Services can attend the film for the discounted admission price of $5.

In 2003, 30 years after they served together in the Vietnam War, former Navy Corps medic Larry “Doc” Shepherd (Carell) re-unites with ex-Marine Sal Nealon (Cranston) and Reverend Richard Mueller (Fishburne) on a different type of mission: to bury Doc’s son, a young Marine killed in the Iraq War. Doc decides to forgo burial at Arlington Cemetery and, with the help of his old buddies, takes the casket on a bittersweet trip up the East Coast to his home in suburban New Hamp-

shire. Along the way, Doc, Sal and Mueller reminisce and come to terms with shared memories of the war that continues to shape their lives.

Richard Roeper, in the Chicago SunTimes, calls the film “one of the best films of 2017.” Ann Hornaday, in the Washington Post, calls it “a movie of enormous humanity and heart.” James

Berardinelli, in ReelViews, calls it “a thoughtful meditation about war and surviving in its aftermath (that) avoids descending into the hell where many such movies take us and, as a result, is more hopeful and life-affirming.”

Johnny Oleksinksi, in the New York Post, says “yes, it’s a gloomy premise for a road-trip movie, but life-affirming, too.

Like an Irish wake, the tone is som-

ber, morbid and a funny.” Rated R for language throughout including some sexual references, “Last Flag Flying” runs two hours, five 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. Simply request one from any usher or Opera House staff member.

The 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a member-supported not-for-profit performing arts center located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia. For a complete schedule of events, visit www. fredopera.org.

VFW-Sport Clips Scholarship Program Tops $4 Million!

PROGRAM NAMES 118 STUDENT VETERANS TO SHARE $550,000 THIS SPRING SEMESTER

Contributed Article www.vfw.org

The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. is proud to announce that its VFW’s “Sport Clips Help A Hero Scholarship” program has now awarded more than $4.1 million in scholarships to 943 military and student veterans. The latest award of more than $550,000 will now enable 118 student veterans to continue their higher education classes this spring semester.

“The VFW was instrumental in the passage of the Post-9/11 GI Bill and the new Forever GI Bill, but those beefedup educational assistance programs still

can’t cover the full cost for certain curriculums,” said VFW National Commander Keith Harman. “Through the generosity of Sport Clips and its founder, VFW Life member Gordon Logan, we were able to create the Help A Hero scholarship program in 2014 to help a new generation of patriots attain their educational goals.”

The VFW Help A Hero scholarship provides service members and veterans up to $5,000 in post-secondary scholarships without any fear of increasing student debt.

“This grant will be a great opportunity…I can now transition from the military into the private sector without the struggle of typical student debt,” said 2018 spring scholarship recipient and Western Governors University student Jadus Bare. “For some veterans, this phase can be a nightmare, but companies and communities such as VFW and Sport Clips give support so we can accomplish our educational goals. I have always been interested in

higher education, and now I have that opportunity. Thank you very much.”

“This money is not just helping me afford my graduate program in marriage and family therapy, it is also an investment toward veterans mental health,” explained scholarship recipient Brooke Mills, a student at Northcentral University. “I am pleased to announce that, due to your scholarships, I have paid for my entire education. I am so pleased and grateful!”

Help A Hero scholarships are awarded twice a year exclusively to service members and veterans to help cover the cost of tuition and fees. Scholarship applications are currently being accepted for the 2018 fall semester. Apply for a Help A Hero scholarship today at www.vfw. org/scholarship.

Smart Flooring There’s no need to compromise on the quality of your home’s flooring, say experts.

“As much as we all love our pets, it’s no secret that they can wreak havoc on flooring, especially carpets,” says Jennifer Bertrand, Flooring America design consultant. “But by seeking out products specifically designed for busy homes with pets, you can maintain the look of your carpets.”

Bertrand points to Stainmaster’s PetProtect from Flooring America as a good solution for pet owners for a few reasons.

“It resists pet stains.

Which means you can worry about other things, like which dog park to visit next. Your pup will love it too, because he won’t get in trouble after his little mess-ups,” she

says.

When it comes to pet “mess-ups,” the carpeting features a breathable moisture barrier designed to prevent spills and accidents from soaking through the cushion and subfloor, so there are no lingering pet odors after a thorough cleaning. And because the carpeting releases more pet hair when vacuumed, this routine chore is made fast and simple.

Look for carpeting with extra durability and protection against color fading, which means it will stay newer-looking for longer, with no compromise to your pet’s territory or your daily schedule.

More information about pet-friendly carpets and flooring can be found at flooringamerica.com.

Cleaning Habits With smart pet-friendly flooring and furniture

choices (think microfiber sofas), cleaning up after your pet and busy lifestyle should be easy.

But remember, it’s easier to clean as you go than it is to wait until things get out of hand.

Keep cleaning supplies nearby (in a locked cabinet for Fido’s safety) for spot cleans and quick touch-ups after mishaps, and remember to vacuum regularly. Don’t forget corners, where build-up tends to occur. Wipe

down surfaces to lift pet dander off baseboards, counters and window sills.

With a few tricks, and some smart pet-friendly product selections where carpeting and furniture are concerned, you can have the best of both worlds: a clean and fresh home, and all the members of your family -including those with four legs -- together when and where you like.

Octagon Gallery to Open Solo Show February 16th Contributed Article Octagon Gallery

Octagon Gallery will be opening a new show on Friday, February 16, featuring the artwork of Cecelia Ivy Price, former art therapist at Gowanda Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, and former art teacher at Aspire of Western New York where she created artwork with adults with disabilities. She is now attending Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH, pursuing a Master in Art Education. Guests can meet the artist at the opening reception from 7 to 9 p.m. in the gallery while enjoying wine from The Winery at Majim Manor and A Gust of Sun Winery as well as some light refreshments.

Entitled, “Recherche'” Price’s exhibit will run from February 16 to March 9, showcasing the paintings and conceptual works that have won her praise and awards for the past five years.

The Octagon Gallery is located in the Patterson Library, 40 S Portage St, Westfield, NY. Gallery hours are Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 9-5, Tuesday and Thursday 9-8 p.m. closed on Sunday. Patterson Library Octagon Gallery is a regional WNY gallery exhibiting 12 installations per year. Please contact Curator Nancy N. Ensign for information at 716-326-2154 or nancynixonensign@gmail.com For more information about the gallery go to www.pattersonlibrary.info.

'Recherche' means rare, exotic, or obscure. The artist invites you to dance with darkness, become entangled in your own story, summon the demons of your nightmares and explore new worlds. Baroquesque bodies fill the canvas and entice viewers to become voyers of the moment. Let death tempt you however briefly and face your mortality.

Price is a former a member of the Board of Directors of the North Shore Arts Alliance (NSAA) and worked out of her studio at the Historic Gatehouse

at Forest Hill Cemetery in Fredonia, NY. Her studio was one of the featured stops on the 2016 and 2017 Chautauqua-Lake Erie Art Trail.

She graduated with honors from SUNY Fredonia in 2015, where she received five significant awards and scholarships in her senior year, including the Rosa Parks Memorial Scholarship, an international award to study in Italy, and a teaching assistantship in Professor Alberto Rey’s drawing and painting class.

A Buffalo native, she earned an associate’s degree from Niagara County Community College, where she garnered more awards, including the NCCC Excellence in Fine Arts Award.

In 2014, she presented the one-person show, “Dangerous,” at the Rockefeller Arts Center at SUNY Fredonia. The theme of this show, “Healing Through Self-Expression: ‘Dangerous.’” was the subject of a talk she was invited to present at the 2015 SUNY Undergraduate Research Conference in Brockport and at SUNY Fredonia.

In April of 2016 Price held her first large scale solo show at Sensory Winery

and Art Gallery in Ripley New York.

Help Kids Get the Most out of Music Education Contributed Article StatePoint

As the list of known benefits of music education grows, you may be wondering how you can help your kids get the most out of their efforts. Here are five ways to help make music education a success.

1. Be encouraging. Learning music is hard work, but it shouldn’t feel that way. Keep it positive and be encouraging. Fostering a love of music is only possible if a child enjoys practicing and playing. If your child is taking lessons, be sure that is or her teacher practices a similar philosophy.

2. Get practical. Incorporate practical engagement and games to make it fun.

For example, learn new musical words with body actions like clapping and stomping, so students can better understand the rhythm and music through movement.

3. Be contemporary. Many kids will prefer playing what they already know and love. If your child is learning to play piano or keyboard, consider a new digital instrument that makes learning the latest tunes easy, such as Casio’s LK-265 keyboard. Outfitted with lighted keys, a voice fingering guide and a Step-up Lesson System, beginners are able to learn built-in songs at their own PHOTO SOURCE: (c) Bright097/Shutterstock.com individual pace. The instrument can also connect to Casio’s Chordana Play 5. Set goals. Whether it’s working to perfect a particular song, or it’s practicing app -- a free app that displays the correct keyboard position for both hands for a talent show, setting achievable goals can be a great motivation for budin real-time. The app is expandable through downloadable MIDI files, so ding musicians. students can customize lessons to their taste.

4. Pace yourself. Every child has his or her own musical aptitude and passion for learning. To ensure that your kids are neither overwhelmed nor bored, discover the pace that works best for each individual and don’t pressure anyone into rushing or slowing down.

Is A Debt-Free Life Possible?

Contributed Article NewsUSA

Leslie Balfaqih couldn't believe how much money she and her husband wasted every month. "Our financial life was a mess," Leslie says from her home in Florida.

"To say we were disorganized is putting it mildly."

Like so many Americans, they didn't have a plan for their money.

The problem is often not how much money a family makes, but that they have no idea what they're spending it on. Seventy-eight percent of full-time workers say they live paycheck to paycheck, according to a recent report from CareerBuilder. Worse, most feel it will always be that way. But it doesn't have to be.

Financial experts agree that the best way to break the vicious cycle of scrambling to make ends meet is by having a written budget and sticking to it. Leslie heard about a website, EveryDollar.com and the EveryDollar budgeting app that makes it simple to create a budget, manage money, and track spending.

They signed up, set up their budget, and they've stuck to it for years. "We paid off $165,000 in debt since we got started. Now we're in a position to be completely debt-free, including our house and rental property, in the next three years."

The "B" word has gotten a bad rap. Budgeting sounds hard. It sounds restricting. Frankly, it sounds boring. But people who've made budgeting the center of their financial behavior have discovered quite the opposite. The technology behind apps like EveryDollar make budgeting easy. Rather than feeling restricted, they say it feels as if they have permission to spend - just not permission to waste.

Sierra Schmidt was surprised by how much having a budget changed her attitude. She's a single mother in Spokane, Washington, whose bills include daycare, rent, and student loans. "I felt so far behind every month, and things seemed hopeless," she says.

"Now, I keep track of every dollar, and the numbers are right in front of me. I'm getting ahead instead of falling behind. Every month I feel more confident that I can wipe out the debt that's been so stressful."

Sierra and Leslie empowered themselves to take control of their money. You can too. Creating a budget and sticking to it could change your life and help you take control of your money in the new year.

EveryDollar is a free budget app that allows users to create customized monthly budgets, and seamlessly Contributed Article track expenses, income and savings from the convenience of their computer and phone. It's available for SUNY Fredonia both iOS and Android devices.

Glimpse of Chautauqua Institution 2018 Given to Westfield-Mayville Rotary Club Contributed Article

Westfield-Mayville Rotary

Chautauqua Institution (CI) Chief of Staff Matt Ewalt was welcomed as the guest presenter during the Jan. 9 meeting of the Rotary Club of Westfield-Mayville, which was held at The Parkview in Westfield. He was introduced by Janese Berkhouse, Club President. Ewalt’s program was titled “A Glimpse of 2018 at Chautauqua Institution.” Rotarians were given a taste of the vision, goals, changes, season themes, events and speakers for 2018.

As CI’s Chief of Staff, Ewalt is responsible for the organization’s re-

nowned Amphitheater Lecture platform. Also, he serves as program curator for the nine-week summer season, and offers strategic counsel to CI’s new president, Michael E. Hill. Ewalt formerly served CI as an associate director of education and as editor of CI’s newspaper, The Chautauquan Daily. He earned a BA and MA in literary and cultural studies from Carnegie University. Ewalt has been with CI for 11 years.

Ewalt stated, “Michael Hill, who is the 18th president of CI, is a leader with bold vision and deep respect for the CI organization. We need to think of CI as a broader resource, and not just as

for what people can experience during one week of the season while they are on vacation.”

He continued, “The vision is to transform the CI gates into a gateway of learning and to also promote what our region has to offer. We have an obligation to be better neighbors by creating partnerships, such as with the National Comedy Center in Jamestown.

Moving beyond the summer season, CI will become a winter village of activities and events.

In addition, important relationships and collaborations are being established with national organizations.”

CI is opening an office in Washington, D.C., which

will facilitate the development of partnerships with other cultural institutions and organizations. Ewalt stated, “The plan is for CI to make significant contributions to national thought and learning by moving forward from the nine-week season, having physical events in other cities, and enhancing engagement through digital events. We have opportunities for stronger partnerships and also for drawing more people to our region.”

On the topic of greater diversity, Ewalt said, “The community on the CI grounds needs to represent the national community. A commitment has been made to have more diverse staff and marketing, as well as more diverse partnerships. Socioeconomic and race diversity, expanded community engagement, and expanded national partnerships are part of this.”

Ewalt went on to say that the expansion of the CI nine-week season not only includes programs, but also facilities. He noted, “CI is financially strong. But it must dream of what it can be. For purely financial stability, the question becomes how do we begin to have and prepare for the use of our grounds beyond the summer season?”

Ewalt discussed some of the plans for developing alternative revenue and engagement streams.

He mentioned enhancing youth engagement, college studies and credit sessions, intergenerational opportunities and greater socioeconomic

diversity.

While discussing CI as being a major resource for local communities, Ewalt mentioned the free youth ages 12 and under programs, Educational Wednesdays, free Sundays, family entertainment series and the educational engagement opportunities with local school districts.

“There is no shortage of content during the nine-week season,” Ewalt said. “We want to create dynamic discussions beyond the themed weeks. CI can play a greater role with discussions of national issues.”

One way to achieve this is through online.chq.org.

This digital experience of CI includes live streaming, video archives, an engagement medium and a resource for lifelong learning. Ewalt added, “What challenges our speakers the most is not the general discussions held on the grounds, but the question and answer discussions they have

with the general population. The challenge is how can we carry content forward with online conversations, for example, so that the work that is developed can rather stand on its own. We’re at an exciting time in terms of digital communication.”

When asked about the process of determining the weekly themes for the season, Ewalt noted the interrelated factors of the lecture platform series, what can people learn and bring back to their communities, and what are the major national and global topics that the CI experience can bring to those discussions and explorations of the topics. Other factors are the inclusion of a variety of topics and the mix of them, as well as when to place them during the nine-week season. Also, themes are considered for their potential audience engagement, so that people will want to return to CI.

Golfer's

D i a ry

By Stefan Gestwicki

Grading My Game

Star Contributing Writer

Every Monday after a Bills game, the Buffalo News does a report card on various aspects of the team.

Passing Offense: F. Rushing Offense: B-. You get the idea. It’s been a source of enjoyment in my family for years.

For whatever reason, the year-end edition of the Bills report card made me think about my own article and how I would grade my golf game. Can I be objective about this? Will I be too hard on myself? Only time will tell.

DRIVING — This is going to be the toughest one because my driving is by far the most inconsistent part of my game. I’ll have weeks at a time during which I can crush the ball 270 yards down the center of the fairway. Then there are long stretches (again, weeks) during which I can’t hit a fairway to save my life. Driving instantly becomes the worst part of my game somehow. It’s not just a slice, either. I have this thing where I yank the ball way left. They’re some of my most well-struck balls if I’m being honest. It feels amazing and the ball goes forever, but way left.

If I can get that shot under control, this grade will go through the roof, but as it stands…GRADE: C-.

LONG IRONS — When I first started golfing, this was my bread and butter. If I could pull out a 4- or 5-iron, I was a happy man. I have since gotten a 3-hybrid that has all but eliminated the 4-iron from my game, but I still absolutely love pulling out these clubs. Par 5s are where I shine because even with a lousy drive, I can almost always save myself with a bomb of a hybrid or long iron. I do flub the occasional hybrid off uneven ground or perhaps some thicker rough, but those are few and far between. GRADE: B. SHORT IRONS — For this category, I’m including everything from say, 7-iron through pitching wedge.

This is one of the areas where I continue to improve

every year. This was never the worst part of my game, but I struggled mightily to ever hit greens from 100+ yards. Now I almost look forward to being right around that 100-yard marker. Some of my best shots of this past year were from 160ish yards. Those have been getting more and more common for me during my five years as a golfer. Crushing a drive feels good, but dropping one on the green from that distance is hard to beat. There’s definitely room for improvement, but thankfully, improvement is exactly what I’ve seen so far. GRADE: C+.

CHIPPING — As with nearly every new golfer, this was the worst part of my game when I first got started. You know the drill – line it up, take a few nice practice swings and then blade the daylights out of the ball and send a laser beam skipping across the green. Now when I’m with 10 feet of the green or so, I expect to leave myself with a gimme. I’ve improved so much at chipping that I can honestly say it’s the best part of my game. Of course I could get better, but I approach these shots with a high degree of confidence. GRADE: B+.

PUTTING — This is an area in which I feel I never really struggled. I’ve played with many brand new golfers and almost to a man they have the exact same struggles on the green. They simply can’t get the power down. They’ll blow the ball past to hole and be further than when they started. Then they’ll tap it 15 inches on an eight-foot putt. My putting numbers were excellent this past season, but I’m quite sure that it was more because of my chipping than my actual putting. It’s easy to one-putt when my chip leaves me three feet from the hole. That said, this is another part of my game that I approach with a tremendous amount of confidence. GRADE: B. This was actually a helpful exercise for me. After thinking about it, I went back and lowered almost every grade. Of course there are good days and bad days, but the goal is always to improve in each one of these categories. I look forward to doing just that.

Until then, golf is great. Go get some.

9 Hot Automotive Brands for 2018 Contributed Article

Trackhawk." Brian Moody puts it bluntly: "Jeep is what people imagine themselves to be -- outdoorsy, fun, spontaneous and rugged."

Kia Some automotive brands are hot right now -- and Formerly an automotive punchline with few desirable some brands certainly aren't. Today, we're taking a products, Kia has transformed itself into a worldlook at the nine brands that are showing the most class, highly competitive automaker in just over a potential in 2018, offering the best models and atdecade. One major reason is styling, as Kia's lineup tracting the most interest in their new product lines.

These aren't necessarily the most popular brands, but now consists primarily of a series of truly handsome vehicles -- a total effort that hasn't really yielded a rather the brands that are among the most aspirasingle bad design. We're especially excited for the new tional in today's market -- boasting the most talkedabout new models, or the best technology, or the most Kia Stinger, which shows the brand seems to understand enthusiasts -- but it's not just that. In addition to eye-catching new designs on the market. To create this list, we polled Brian Moody, Autotrader's execu- the Stinger, Brian notes the "Optima and the surprisingly class-leading Sorento also lead the way." tive editor, Tara Trompeter, Autotrader's managing editor, and Doug DeMuro, editor of Autotrader's Land Rover Oversteerenthusiast blog -- and their opinions are Like Jeep, Land Rover has been making SUVs since spread throughout. before they were "cool" -- and now they're in an Audi excellent position to capitalize on the huge surge in Not only is Audi increasing the size of its lineup with popularity of SUVs and crossovers. Although enthusiasts are still waiting patiently for the next Defender, desirable new models like the Q3 and the A5 SportLand Rover seems to have every other base covered, back, it's also touting some of the best technology in the car industry thanks to its truly impressive Virtual offering six different SUV models and some of the Cockpit system. Doug DeMuro calls Virtual Cockpit most impressive technology in the car world. Says Doug: "Land Rover has something in every category, "one of the most impressive new technology features and there seems to be no end to the onslaught of new in the entire car industry," while Tara Trompeter notes that it isn't just the technology that makes Audi products -- and the cutting-edge technology inside so hot, saying that "Audi's recently redesigned SUVs each one." are on every mom's lust list, with their sleek exteriors, Lincoln luxurious interiors and solid versatility."

After years in the luxury-car doldrums, Lincoln is Honda finally making its way back with a series of brandnew models that offer impressive styling, technology Honda seems to be perennially among the hottest car brands, largely thanks to its highly desirable core and luxury. Brian calls Lincoln "American luxury," while we're all a little impressed that Lincoln has product line, which consists of the subcompact Fit, avoided chasing the "sporty" brand image so many compact Civic and midsize Accord, along with the CR-V and Pilot crossovers and the Odyssey minivan. automakers are pursuing, focusing instead on highquality materials and comfortable, well-appointed, Brian Moody calls Honda "trend-defying," which well-equipped vehicles. Lincoln hasn't yet completed is a good way to put it, as its most popular products its comeback, but it's headed in the right direction. always seem to remain popular -- and get better -regardless of what's in vogue. "Plus," points out Brian, Nissan "the enthusiast crowd is into the Civic Si and Type Nissan continues to roll out desirable SUVs and R." As Tara puts it, Honda makes a series of vehicles crossovers at a record pace, bringing its vehicles to "perfect for whatever stage of life you're in, from that the market just as consumer interest is higher than first post-college job to weekend T-ball practice." ever. The latest Nissan models to reach the market Jeep are a brand-new Armada SUV, a stylish subcompact crossover called the "Kicks," and a smaller version of SUVs are hot right now -- and brands like Jeep are in the perfect position to cash in, having built a solid the Rogue, dubbed simply the "Rogue Sport." Nissan's status as part of a powerful global alliance also reputation on go-anywhere SUVs with a lot of style. helps its momentum, as Brian notes the brand "can While other Chrysler brands seem to be lagging share technology, engines and facilities," developing behind the competition, Jeep is surging ahead, with Doug DeMuro noting that "there seems to be a Jeep new models that "will anchor the brand's growth in for everyone, from the off-road Wrangler to the high- the U.S." performance and wildly thrilling Grand Cherokee Autotrader

Subaru As many automakers try hard for your business with catchy designs and bold new technology, Subaru goes the safe route. Doug notes they "produce highquality, practical, useful vehicles that won't necessarily garner a lot of attention or excitement -- but will get you wherever you need to go with little fanfare."

Subaru has also become masterful at selling the brand as a lifestyle; Brian notes they "infuse a fun, happy character into every model." Indeed, buying a Subaru makes you feel like you're part of a little club -- even though that club is actually huge, as sales have skyrocketed due to an expanding lineup and wellknown reliability.

Volvo Volvo has been rescued from near-obscurity, where it once offered a confusing lineup of sedans that were all about the same size. These days, Volvo is all about technology, style and safety, and they're leaders in all three areas; Doug notes "Volvo has recently been a master of style, technology, comfort and even fuel efficiency." But it's not just that -- Volvo has released the right vehicles at the right time, offering three brand-new crossovers (XC40, XC60 and XC90) right as shoppers are most interested. Says Tara, "Greatlooking, tech-filled, SAFE crossovers are the key to Volvo being top of mind right now for young families everywhere."

Opinion Splitter: Tesla Interestingly, when we each compiled our lists of "hot" and "not" automotive brands, Brian Moody put Tesla on his "not" list, while Doug called it one of the hottest brands on the market today. Like usual, Tesla is splitting opinions: Doug says "the Model 3 is definitely the hottest car of the year, with few new models inspiring so much interest and anticipation," while Brian says "It's hard to continually position yourself as a leader" -- a good point, especially given that other automakers are starting to catch up. Brian also says Tesla's huge recent success "has to end sometime, unless there's a landslide of new products on the way."

Indeed, Tesla is still an upstart, so it's hard to predict what happens next -- but if our opinions are any indication, we can be sure it'll remain controversial.
