Valentine’s Day Crafts By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
It’s almost Valentine’s Day! That means it’s time for fun crafts and treats. Before we had kids, I have to admit that I wasn’t a huge fan of Valentine’s Day. It was just kind of there. My husband and I kind of celebrated it, but when you get married as young as we did, there weren’t a whole lot of excess funds to use on that kind of thing. It wasn’t a holiday that mattered all that much to us, especially since I lean towards the whole ‘it’s a marketing strategy,’ opinion of this particular holiday. Really, it is a bit over marketed, if we’re being honest here. I have seen cards in the past for six dollars and even more. It’s just a little crazy to spend that much money on a piece of paper in order to tell someone how you feel about them... but that’s just my opinion. I’m not saying you can’t spend your money that way, or judging anyone for that by any means. All that I am personally saying is that I choose not to. I would much rather make my own crafts and cards, and tell my kids and husband how much I care about them daily rather than waiting for one specific holiday. The crafts and goodies that surround a love themed holiday are nevertheless adorable and sometimes irresistible. Which brings us here. So here are some cute crafts that will not require you to spend a ridiculous amount on disposable pieces of paper (unless of course you still want to do so.) These are just a couple of ideas that can be found on Pinterest. Yes, Pinterest again! I promise I am not sponsored by them in any way, but if you’d like more ideas, go ahead and check! As always, thanks for reading! Happy crafting from HBK!
Paper Heart Wreath You will need: • Construction paper • Glue stick • Scissors • Ribbon (optional) This one is just plain cute, and like us, I’m sure there are those of you who now have a naked front door now that your Christmas decor has, or is about to come down. Sometimes I wonder what exactly to put on the front door when it’s still definitely winter but not Christmas anymore. This is a perfect alternative! Cut paper into various sized heart shapes, and overlap in the shape of a circle. You can attach a ribbon to hang, or even tape directly to your door. This is a great craft for all ages of kids, since there is something for each skill level. Older kids can cut out heart shapes, and little ones can help with the glue. Tips: for a circular shape, use a large dinner plate as your guideline. For hearts, you can print out templates by doing a google image search for hearts. Print and trace onto paper. Heart Bouquet You will need: • Construction paper • Scissors • Glue • Pipe cleaners (optional) Cut out small paper hearts, about one to three inches in size. On a larger piece of paper, or a card, glue into the shape of a bouquet. These can also be a balloon bouquet! For a flower bouquet, draw (or glue pipe cleaners) stems and leaves, attaching to the bottoms of the hearts. If you choose to do balloons, you can withers glue ribbons or draw ribbons coming from the hearts.

NYSDOT Announces the Installation of Solar Energy Systems in Western New York
Contributed Article
NYS Depatement of Transportation
New York State Department of Transportation Acting Commissioner Paul A. Karas today announced that work begins this week on the installation of solar energy systems at three NYSDOT properties in Erie and Chautauqua counties. The solar panels are expected to generate 340,500 kilowatt-hours of energy per year, replacing approximately 90 percent of the power these facilities normally use with clean, green energy. “Governor Cuomo is leading the way on renewable energy and this project is one more way New York State is furthering its commitment to clean energy innovation, reliability and affordability,” New York State Department of Transportation Acting Commissioner Paul A. Karas said. “The installation of solar panels at transportation facilities in Western New York will provide a clean source of energy to meet the department’s power needs.” The solar pilot project includes the installation of ground-mounted solar panel systems at three different facilities, including: • Interstate 290/990 Pump Station, Erie County • Sherman Maintenance Sub-Residency, Chautauqua County • Interstate 86 Rest Area, Bemus Point, Chautauqua County The project is being administered through a partnership between NYSDOT and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), which will be providing incentives towards the solar panel installation costs through the NY-Sun program. NYSERDA president and CEO Alicia Barton said, “New York is leading by example in providing clean energy at state facilities as we pursue the Governor’s aggressive goal of having 50 percent of our electricity come from renewable sources by 2030.” NYSDOT is funding the project through a 15-year Power Purchase Agreement with the solar provider. Under the agreement, the provider will continue to own and operate the panels and NYSDOT will buy the power they produce at a set rate. The total production output of the systems is approximately 340,500 kilowatt-hours of energy per year. Governor Cuomo has been a national leader on the issue of Global Climate Change and this effort is consistent with his initiatives to reduce statewide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 40 percent from 1990 levels by 2030 (“40-by-30”). At the Governor’s direction, New York State agencies are working to modernize their energy systems through the Reforming the Energy Vision plan, which has spurred clean energy innovation and laid the groundwork for the State and the private sector to aggressively add renewable energy sources to the power grid.

Born with facial differences that, up until now, have prevented him from going to a mainstream school, Auggie becomes the most unlikely of heroes when he enters the local fifth grade. As his family, his new classmates, and the larger community all struggle to find their compassion and acceptance, Auggie’s extraordinary journey will unite them all and prove you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out. Andrea Mandell, in USA Today, calls the film “a much-needed reminder that kindness exists
in this fractured world.” Bruce Demara, in the Toronto Star, calls it “a film that’s going to touch a lot of people in all the right ways with a life-affirming message about looking beyond the obvious differences to see the person behind the mask.” Calvin Wilson, in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, calls it “a family film in the best sense.” Chris Nashawaty, in Entertainment Weekly, says “you’re guaranteed to spend nearly two hours with a lump the size of a nectarine in your throat without resenting it.” Rated PG for thematic elements including bullying, and some mild language, “Wonder” runs one hour, 53 minutes. In connection with the Sat., Jan. 27, screening, Lynda Sandoval, of Yoga Underground, will hold a relaxing “cinema stretch” yoga class at 5:45 p.m. on the Opera House stage. Participants in the $10 hour-long class receive a voucher for discounted $5 admission to the movie that night! And, a portion of the $10 fee benefits the Opera House. “So, if you like to sit around in yoga clothes and watch movies

on Saturday nights – and who doesn’t?” says Sandoval. “Here’s your chance to do just that, AND help raise money for one of the jewels of the village.” The Opera House Cinema Series is sponsored by Lake Shore Savings Bank.

At-Home Infusion Gives Gift of Health to Patients Contributed Article NewsUSA
Hemophilia, a blood disorder in which the blood fails to clot properly, is a rare condition, but for those who have it, staying healthy can be challenging. The treatment for hemophilia is multifaceted, but it can include preventive care at home. Patients can give themselves infusions of clotting factors that are normally present in the blood to help prevent excessive bleeding episodes, which can be life-threatening and cause permanent damage. Repeated self-infusion as a preventive measure is associated with a lower incidence of the joint problems that can arise from excessive bleeding. In a recent study, 60 adult blood-disorder patients who self-infused experienced fewer joint problems by preventing the levels of clotting factors in the blood from falling below 1 percent of what is considered normal. Joint problems can become debilitating if left untreated, and patients may be unable to perform routine daily activities, attend school or work, or walk without a cane, walker, or other assistance. In addition, blood-disorder patients who self-infuse have reported feeling more confident and in- dependent, and appreciate the convenience of infusing at home, according to data from NCHS, a specialty pharmacy service for blood-disorder patients. Most importantly, the opportunity to infuse at home also may serve to motivate patients to take their medications as directed. "Working to improve non-adherence among patients who intentionally stop their medications or intentionally disregard their prescribers' instructions can be more of a challenge than simply helping patients remember to take their meds," according to a report from NCHS. "But if you understand why patients are making these choices, you may have better results." Common reasons why patients with a chronic disease such as a blood disorder fail to take their medications as directed include: • Concerns about the high cost of the medication. • Concerns about the medication's side effects and whether it's necessary. • Complexity of the treatment. • Communication issues with doctors about the value and benefits of the medication. Service providers like NCHS can help patients achieve more independence by offering discreet home delivery of medications, education and support. Services include detailed explanations about the use, dosing, storage, and side effects of medications so patients feel confident in their at-home care, as well as reimbursement expertise and caregiver education and counseling.

The intent of this and runs smoothly for competitors. event is to get people moving during one of the toughest winter months in “Anyone can do this event,” said Burns.
“When someone hears Triathlon they immediately think impossible because they cannot swim well or feel they are not in good enough shape to bike or run. We are very lenient at this event for those people and we encourage them to simply float from one end to the other when swimming, spin on a stationary bike the best they can, and walk the treadmill while listening to upbeat music or those cheering in support. The three events; swim, bike, and run only last a total of 45 minutes, but will typically hook anyone to a future in multisport.” All proceeds for the Kick Cabin Fever Indoor Triathlon stay in Chautauqua County for suicide prevention efforts. Last year, proceeds were donated to The Community Alliance for Suicide Prevention. The Alliance was formed when local professionals from the mental health and other health care fields saw a great need in the community for supports and education around
suicide prevention. These community members and others answered the call for action and started The Community Alliance for Suicide Prevention. Over the past several years The Alliance and its partner agencies have worked together to train over 1,000 local community members from all walks of life in suicide prevention and awareness. To learn more about the events they host and for more information, visit their Facebook page by searching for “The Community Alliance for Suicide Prevention.” As we would say in the triathlon world...."keep swimming" or "keep Triing"....there is always a healthy way out of a bad situation. KEEP MOVING! If you would like to support a great cause with wonderful volunteers, many great people to share the day, and the best reason to get out and have some fun in February.

How Older Americans Can Benefit From Chiropractic Care Contributed Article
•
NewsUSA
It's not just you. As a nation, America is getting older with another 10,000 Boomers turning 65 every day. And whether you like to admit it or not - and who does? - odds are you're probably already experiencing at least some of the same nagging health issues you once thought only happened to your parents. What's also likely, assuming you're one of the nation's 100 million chronic pain sufferers, is that you're seeking a safer alternative to opioids after being scared off by news headlines of people becoming addicted and even dying from them. Read on to see if drug-free chiropractic care may be right for what ails you.
Back and neck pain. It's the primary reason older Americans visit doctors of chiropractic every year. And as Dr. Phillip Pizzo of Stanford University's School of Medicine has said, "We see that for many patients, chronic pain becomes a disease in its own right." Blame the aging process itself for why even the most active seniors - weekend athletes, say - aren't immune from such pain: Our muscles, spinal discs, facet joints and ligaments simply become less hydrated, weaker, and less able to withstand normal stresses. Doctors of chiropractic, who are highly educated and trained in the structure and function of the human body, can help provide relief through handson techniques that enhance flexibility, muscle strength, and range of
motion. • Osteoarthritic pain and dysfunction. Knees or hips acting up? As with back and neck pain, doctors of chiropractic can also outline a program of exercise monitoring your progress along the way - aimed at rehabilitating and strengthening specific muscle groups. • Overall wellness. This, it's been said, is "the wheelhouse of a chiropractor." Exercise. Nutrition. Alignment. Posture. He or she can advise you on all those and more. "Doctors of chiropractic are dedicated to helping patients get the best outcome from their body," said the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress' Sherry McAllister, DC.

Even the most active seniors can suffer from back pain.

Addressing Veteran Homelessness CURRENT POSITION; FUTURE COURSE
Contributed Article vfw.org
Chairmen Arrington and Wenstrup, Ranking Members Brownley and O’Rourke, members of the Subcommittees, on behalf of the women and men of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States (VFW) and its Auxiliary, thank you for the opportunity to provide our remarks on the oversight for efforts of the Departments of Veterans Affairs (VA), Labor (DOL) and Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to reduce veteran homelessness, as well as VA’s decision to realign specific purpose funding for homeless veterans’ programs. In recent years, these three agencies have made significant improvement toward ending veteran homelessness. However, much work remains. Homeless Veteran Population A homeless person is federally defined under the McKinney-Vento Act as an individual or family lacking fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence. Thanks to efforts by this committee, the definition is also expanded to include those fleeing domestic violence and other dangerous or life-threatening conditions. Immunity to homelessness does not exist for any subset of the veteran population. Homelessness does not discriminate against gender or race, though it is worth noting that women veterans are an exceptionally vulnerable portion of this population. Women veterans are at an increased risk of homelessness (2.4 percent), when compared to their male veteran counterparts (1.4 percent). This is in part due to their increased risk of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), loss of employment, dissolution of marriages, and feelings of having a lack of gender-specific support. These increased risks may all be amplified if the veteran does not self-identify as a vet-
eran –– meaning they may be less likely to be offered or seek veterans benefits. It is also important to note that 21 percent of homeless women veterans have dependent children, which often times may add to the anxiety and importance of finding permanent housing. In the VFW’s survey of women veterans, 46 percent of women veterans who were homeless or at risk of becoming homeless were currently living in another person’s home, of that 46 percent, 71 percent have children. Progress In Addressing Needs Since 2009, the rate of veteran homelessness has been nearly sliced in half. With an overall decrease of nearly 50 percent of this population, and three states and 57 communities having virtually ended veteran homelessness within their borders, efforts between VA, DOL, and HUD have clearly been successful. However this should not create complacency, as major metropolitan areas saw slight increases in their homeless veteran populations between 2016 and 2017. This impressive rate of progress over recent years is in part due to VA using various evidence-based practices such as Housing First, Getting to Outcomes and the Maintaining Independence and Sobriety Through Systems Integration, Outreach and Networking: Veterans Edition. By implementing these programs with case management teams serving homeless veterans VA has been able to target veterans who struggle with comorbidities that adds to their risk of homelessness, while helping them obtain a stable roof over their heads. These practices include, but are not limited to, programs such as Department of Housing and Urban Development-VA Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) vouchers, Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program (GDP) and Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF). The HUD-VASH program is a collaborative program between HUD and VA which emphasizes the “Housing First” model of care. In this program, homeless veterans receive a housing choice rental voucher from HUD, which is paired with VA case management and supportive services to sustain housing stability and recovery from physical and mental health programs that may contribute to

“Tell me something you are learning about in school?” asked Kennedy Center Teaching Artist Stuart Stotts. “We are learning about communities around the world and how they get books,” said Ring Elementary School third grade teacher Kim Austin. “Can you tell me some specific things you’ve learned?” “In Zimbabwe, they get books by donkey carts,” said a student. “Wow, that is a great line for a song. Instead of in Zimbabwe, could we write, far off in Zimbabwe? Let’s try to sing it and see how it sounds.” Mr. Stotts worked with students at Ring Elementary School on lyric writing in conjunction with what they are learning in the classroom. As a group, the class created a new song about reading all over the world, a subject they are studying. Mr. Stotts used music, lyric writing and movement to engage and motivate students. He demonstrated for teachers how to explore with students different song structures and patterns that students can use to write, sing, rehearse, and perform original song lyrics. This creative process helps students demonstrate their understanding of any content area while experiencing the joy of music. Teachers also had
a separate opportunity to participate in a professional workshop with Mr. Stotts. “I love this topic because it connects students to the importance of reading. The students read many books about how people around the world get access to books,” said Mr. Stotts. “Kids were excited about sharing what they knew and they had a real investment in the song and creating something that was unique and different.” The classroom visits are part of the partnership team consisting of Chautauqua Institution, Jamestown Public Schools and the Chautauqua Lake Central School District who were named among 10 inductees in the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Partners in Education Program. This is the second year of the collaboration, which gives the schools multiple visiting artists opportunities each year. “Chautauqua Institution is proud to serve as a year-round arts education resource that now offers in-depth residency programs in schools, field trips at Chautauqua, and
professional development for teachers. Partnering with Chautauqua County schools is an honor and a priority as we look to serve our community throughout the year,” said Deborah Sunya Moore, Vice President of Performing and Visual Arts.

Bad Breath in Pets Could Be a Sign of Poor Health Contributed Article StatePoint
If you’ve ever experienced dry mouth, you know how uncomfortable it can be. Unfortunately, your pet can get dry mouth too, and it can lead to more serious issues down the line and can also be a sign of more serious current health issues. Dry mouth is a condition where saliva loses its protective benefits and leads to an overgrowth of odor-causing bacteria and plaque accumulation, as well as increases the risk of periodontal disease. While such diseases as diabetes can contribute to dry mouth in pets, the most common cause is medication. What’s more, it is believed that medications increase the risk of developing complications due to dry mouth by 40 percent. This side effect is far-reaching. Medications for allergies, anxiety, urinary incontinence, osteo-arthritis pain, heart conditions, high blood pressure and more can all contribute to dry mouth. While most pet parents are not aware their furry friends have dry mouth because they may still drool even with the condition, watching out for bad breath can help, as it is often a red flag that something is wrong. Experts say that you don’t need to wait until this becomes an issue to protect your PHOTO SOURCE: (c) Paul/stock.Adobe.com pet’s health. “Prevention is always the best medicine,” says Pamela K. Bosco, president of Pet King Brands. Bosco recommends Oratene Brushless Oral Care for pets, an easy-to-use oral care product line that doesn’t require brushing. Whether it’s the water additive, breath freshening spray or brushless toothpaste gel, the enzymes in its formula work to replenish what is missing in order to help restore healthy oral flora, as well as destroy odor-causing bacteria and remove plaque biofilm. The products can help prevent complications due to dry mouth, and will benefit any age dog or cat, especially those on medications, aging pets, or those pet parents averse to brushing. Oral health is crucial to a pet’s overall health. Be sure to pay special attention to the state of affairs in your pet’s mouth by taking steps to prevent dry mouth, a condition that can lead to serious health issues when left untreated.

Applebee’s to Hold Laurel Run Fund-Raisers February 7 Contributed Article The Resource Center
Though Laurel Hotelling died in November, area residents can help celebrate her birthday and donate money to the charitable event that bears her name. On Wednesday, February 7, the Applebee’s restaurants in Dunkirk and Lakewood will hold Dining to Donate fund-raisers to benefit Laurel Run. From 11:00 a.m. to midnight, the restaurants will donate 10 percent of the price of people’s meals. Patrons must present a special voucher in order for the money to be donated to Laurel Run. link to a printable version of the voucher can be found at www.laurel-run.com. You can have a voucher faxed or emailed to you by phoning 661-4735. Please be aware that for the Applebee’s Dining to Donate fund-raisers, you will not receive a discount on the cost of your meal. Rather, 10 percent of what you pay for your meal will be donated to Laurel Run. Laurel passed away Nov. 13. She would have turned 55 years old Feb. 7, so her parents thought it would be appropriate to hold the Applebee’s fund-raisers on Laurel’s birthday so that her friends, Laurel Run supporters and other well-wishers could celebrate Laurel’s life by supporting the cause that meant so much to her. Wayne and Elaine Hotelling created Laurel Run in 1997 in honor of their oldest daughter. Laurel had Down syndrome., and Laurel Run is a celebration of the potential that exists within people who have disabilities. Laurel led a full life, which included having a job at The Resource Center’s Dunkirk Work Center for more than 30 years. Hundreds of Chautauqua County residents with disabilities have jobs – and hundreds of others volunteer in the community – with support from The Resource Center. The 22nd annual Laurel Run takes place July 20 and 21. The first day features a Jamestown-to-Dunkirk relay run, while day two includes a number of walking and running events in the Hotellings’ hometown of Silver Creek. Money raised through Laurel Run goes to Filling the Gap, Inc., which works with The Resource Center to improve the lives of people with disabilities and their families in Western New York. For more information, visit the Laurel Run web site or phone 661-4735.

Vaudeville–Style Juggling Duo Performs in Fredonia Family Series Contributed Article SUNY Fredonia
lation and slapstick comedy. He spent six months training at Walt Disney World Orlando, perfecting his comic blend with the Entertainment Arts Festival in 1992 with director Lloyd Brant. Hammond learned to juggle in his hometown of Roanoke, Va., where he was taught by noted juggler David Bear Stuart. After graduating from the Rochester Institute of Technology, he worked as a virologist and genetic engineer for a few years after college before deciding to pursue a career as a juggler. Hammond spent three years with the off-Broadway show “Lazer Vaudeville,” performing with Cindy Marvell and Carter Brown. He has also appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman. Tickets are available by phone at 6733501 and at the Fredonia Campus Ticket Office in the Williams Center. “SMIRK! Jokesters of Juggling and Kings of Chaos” is sponsored by Fredonia Animal Hospital as part of the Lake Shore Savings Season. The Kaleidoscope Family Series is sponsored by The Observer.
The Kaleidoscope Family Series at Rockefeller Arts Center continues with what promises to be a roller coaster ride of laughs with “SMIRK! Jokesters of Juggling and Kings of Chaos” on Friday, Feb. 9 at 7:30 p.m. in Marvel Theatre at the State University of New York at Fredonia. SMIRK! is the juggling duo of Reid Belstock and Warren Hammond, who have garnered comparisons to Abbott and Costello with their vaudeville-style act. Their show is described as a hilarious combination of juggling feats and slapstick antics. Hammond, a former scientist, plays the straight man to Belstock’s maniacal goofball. Juggling, whip cracking, unicycles and a large rocket launcher all make an appearance in this “Odd Couple meets the circus spectacular.” Described as “a nicely matched pair of performers with a deep bag of tricks” by Juggle Magazine, their juggling and slapstick antics have engaged audiences of all ages across the United States. Their work has earned them multiple awards, including the 2009 and 2011 International Juggling Association Silver Medal in the team competitions. Belstock began juggling at the age of 15 as a way of overcoming gross and fine motor skill impairment. After one year of juggling, he began his first performing opportunity at Elitch Gardens, a local Amusement Park. From the very first show, he knew it was a calling. As a student of the famed Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus Reid Belstock and Warren Hammond bring Clown College, Belstock their special blend of juggling and slapstick to the State University of New York at Fredonia on Feb. 9 found a balance between comedy when Rockefeller Arts Center presents “SMIRK! Jokesters of Juggling his love of object manipu- and Kings of Chaos” as part of the Kaleidoscope Family Series.

Some of Jameson’s works will become part of JCC’s permanent art collection and will be installed in the Allied Health Sciences Center on JCC’s Olean Campus where nursing courses are taught. Additionally, Jameson will donate a selection of her works to the local health care agency named the 2018 JCC partner Agency of Distinction. Meyer, a nationally recognized artist and patient advocate, is a lifelong patient of Gaucher Disease, an enzyme deficiency that affects bones and joints. He took his early hospital experiences and turned them into artistic inspiration. For the last 16 years Meyer has worked on “Scarred for Life,” a project about other people’s surgical experiences and scars. Meyer uses paint and vellum paper to create rubbings that trace the scars people have received from accidents, surgeries, assaults, and self-inflicted wounds. Meyer exhibits these abstract rubbings with photographic portraits of his subjects and stories about injury and recovery written in their own words. “Scarred for Life” reveals that stories about trauma are also stories about courage and healing. Meyer will also facilitate workshops with students in JCC’s art and occupational therapy assistant programs.

LECOM Health Challenge Announces Partnership with the Porter Cup
Contributed Article CCIDA
The LECOM Heath Challenge – a Web.com Tour event hosted at Peek’n Peak Resort’s Upper Course – today announced a partnership with the Porter Cup, a tournament attracting the world’s top amateurs hosted at Niagara Falls Country Club. The partnership will provide the 2018 Porter Cup champion with an exemption to play in the 2019 LECOM Health Challenge. “The Porter Cup has a long-standing history of bringing world class amateurs to Western New York,” said LECOM Health Challenge tournament director Michelle Turner. “We are thrilled to provide the Porter Cup champion with the opportunity to further their career in professional golf and play in a Web. com Tour event.” The exemption will provide automatic entry to the tournament, and is one of four exemptions the LECOM Health Challenge can designate.

Which Stats To Track in 2018 By Stefan Gestwicki
Star Contributing Writer
Anyone who has read this column in the past knows that I’m a stat geek. All my life I’ve made lists of the most oddball things. I’ve also always been obsessed with tracking even the most obscure baseball and football stats. I just can’t help it – it’s genetic. So it should come as no surprise to anyone that I track some of my own golf stats. In 2015, I started keeping track of my averages per hole. This way I could see just how terrible I was at par 3s. For some reason this made me happy. Sometime in 2016, I played with my old friend from elementary school, Chris. He tracked his putts. If he got a five with a two-putt, he’d write in a ‘5’ on the scorecard, but also put a tiny ‘2’ down in the corner. At the end of the round, he’d see how many of his strokes came on the green. I really liked this idea, so I started doing it myself. The averages per hole might be fun, but the putts could actually be a helpful metric. If you see in actual stats how many strokes you’re wasting with the putter (hello, three-putts), this is a part of the game you can work on. My cousin Nick mentions all the time how he just wants to come to the course one day and spend two hours on the practice green improving his putting. That’s not a bad idea (as long as you actually play some golf afterwards). The problem I had with tracking my putts in 2017 was that my numbers were great. How is this a problem, you ask? Well, my numbers were great, but I don’t feel that my putting actually was. It’s my chipping that has improved greatly over the years. I set myself up for some incredibly easy one-putts with great chips. Of course, I only get to the edge of the green like that in the first place because of poor approach shots, but that’s a topic for another day. I’m still going to track putts in 2018 because that’s just what I do. But I’m also looking for some other helpful numbers I could keep track of. I’m not looking to distract myself from the actual game. I don’t want to buy an expensive rangefinder so I can mark my average distance to the pin on my third shots on par 5s – nothing complicated like that. Here’s what I came up with: FAIRWAYS HIT — If you read my report card column last week, you know that driving is the most inconsistent part of my game. I’ll have days when I can go a perfect 7/7 without too much trouble, but then I’ll be lucky to hit one the next time out. Perhaps it’s a matter of focus. It’s possible the added “pressure” of messing up my stats would be enough to get my head right on the tee box. Or maybe it’ll mess me up completely. Who knows? Either way, it’s just a matter of putting a little checkmark or ‘X’ in the top corner of my score. GREENS HIT ON PAR 3 — This is one I’m actually quite curious about. I feel like there are certain holes that I play (No. 5 at Hillview) where this number would be quite high. Others (No. 8 at Cassadaga Country Club), I’m quite sure I’ve never hit off the tee box. This is another easy one to track, too. It’s just a simple matter of a small mark on the scorecard and wouldn’t slow down the game at all. So there are two more stats for me to track in 2018. Do you keep track of any stats on the golf course? I’d be curious to hear some more. Until then, golf is great. Go get some.

Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame Inducts Clem Worosz Contributed Article
Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame
When Clem Worosz was a kid growing up in Dunkirk in the 1940s, he found his way to South Roberts Road — the west side of the avenue to be exact — where there was a large tree. Nailed to it was a bushel basket, sans backboard. The width of the road was the court. A basketball career was born. To say the young Worosz got off to a fast start in the sport, however, would be an overstatement. In fact, when he tried out for his Catholic Youth Organization team, Worosz was told that he would never make it as a basketball player. Guess who had the last laugh? Inspired to prove his detractors wrong, Worosz not only turned out to be a gifted player during his high school days at St. Mary’s Academy and Cardinal Mindszenty, but he parlayed it into a fine collegiate career in the 1950s at Niagara University. The recipient of a full scholarship with the Purple Eagles — one of four awarded after a five-day tryout — Worosz performed in two National Invitational Tournaments and two Holiday Festivals in Madison Square Garden, and was captain of the team his senior season. Along the way, he played with the likes of Larry Costello, a future NBA all-star and coach; Hubie Brown, an NBA Hall-of-Famer and TV analyst; and Tom Prechtl, a Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame in-
ductee; and was coached as a junior varsity player by Frank Layden, who went on to coach the NBA’s Utah Jazz, and by Taps Gallagher, who guided Niagara to a ranking as high as 16th during the 1956-57 season. The opponents Worosz faced during his career were equally impressive. They included, among others, Jack Twyman, Tom Gola, Tom Heinsohn and a guy by the name of Jim Brown. Yes, THAT, Jim Brown, the Syracuse All-American, who is recognized as, arguably, the greatest running back in NFL history. To demonstrate, Worosz’ athletic ability, a photographer captured an image of the Dunkirk native blocking Brown’s shot during a game at Onondaga County War Memorial in Syracuse in 1956. Upon completion of his college career, Worosz was a longtime coach for Little League and Babe Ruth League baseball teams in Dunkirk, and also coached Midget Football League for four years. A former first lieutenant in the Army, Worosz also worked for AL Tech Specialty Steel of Dunkirk as a supervisor of strategic product planning. Married since 1960, Worosz and his wife, the former Marianne Zirker, have five children — Ken, Kevin, Karen, Sonja and Sandra. Joining Worosz as an inductee are Dick Cole, Curt Fischer, Lori Franchina, Sheilah (Lingenfelter) Gulas, the late Jim Riggs, Fran Sirianni and Phil Young. They will be formally honored at the CSHOF’s 37th annual banquet on Feb. 19 at the Lakewood Rod & Gun Club. Tickets for the induction dinner are $50 and can be
purchased at Jamestown Cycle Shop, 10 Harrison Street, Jamestown; Matt’s News, 93 E. Third Street, Dunkirk; Tony’s Shoe Repair, 12 N. Portage Street, Westfield; and the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame, 15 W. Third Street in Jamestown. Banquet reservations can also be made by calling chairman Chip Johnson at 716-485- 6991.
LECOM HEALTH CHALLENGE ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH THE PORTER CUP, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 26 Several past Porter Cup players have played in the LECOM Health Challenge including the 2017 LECOM Health Challenge champion Chesson Hadley, as well as Beau Hossler, Corey Conners and Denny McCarthy. “As someone who has played in both the Porter Cup and the LECOM Health Challenge, it’s great to see these two events partnering to help advance the golf career of the amateur Porter Cup champion,” said 2017 LECOM Health Challenge champion Chesson Hadley. “Both tournaments have been important springboards in my career, and I hope the same will be true of this year’s champion.” The 2018 Porter Cup will be hosted at Niagara Falls Country Club in Lewiston, New
York on July 18-21, 2018. Annually, the tournament attracts the finest collegiate and midamateur players and, throughout the years, has played host to among the most widely recognized and respected players in the game today. Past Porter Cup alumni include PGA TOUR professionals such as Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Adam Scott, Rickie Fowler and Justin Thomas. “We are excited that the 2018 LECOM Health Challenge is aligning with the Porter Cup and the rising stars of the golf world,” said John M.

Here's the Story Behind the Jeep Wrangler Willys Wheeler Trim Package Contributed Article By Sam Keller Autotrader
Before the Cherokee, the Grand Cherokee, the Compass, the Renegade and many other past models, there was only one Jeep: the Willys jeep. The Willys jeep (lower case, since it wasn't yet a brand name) debuted in 1941 as a U.S.Army vehicle in World War II, and it was initially manufactured by WillysOverland in Toledo, Ohio, where Jeeps are still built today. During World War II, Ford was also contracted to produce the quarter-ton truck in order to meet military demand. After the war, Willys continued jeep production and made it available to the public as the CJ (Civilian Jeep). Few changes were made to bring the military Jeep to the CJ. It was offered in a variety of colors; it had chrome trim, and there were clunky vacuumpowered windshield wipers. It appealed to (and was marketed to) rural buyers, as it was perfect for a ranch or farm. By 1961, then brand owner, Kaiser Jeep, tried to broaden the appeal of their compact off-roader by introducing the CJ-5A Tuxedo Park Mark IV.
