Lakewood Cell Tower Case Dismissed in Chautauqua County Supreme Court Contributed Article

Lakewood Village Attorney

In a lawsuit challenging the Village of Lakewood’s right to regulate where cell towers are placed, and the duty of the developer to pay for the Village’s cost to review cell tower applications, the Supreme Court has dismissed the case. This case began back In June of 2016 when the Village adopted a Local Law regulating the siting of Cell Towers in the Village which was designed to limit commercial Cell Towers to parcels which would have minimum impacts on the community, and also place the responsibility for paying the cost for evaluating the necessity of the towers, and their proposed heights, on the telecommunication tower developers. In December 2016, the Village agreed to apply the law forward, and allowed UpState tower, who already had a pending Cell Tower action, to prosecute its pending application under the pre-existent law. In February 2017 the Village Zoning Board determined that the requested variance to build a 180’ Tower in the Village was not warranted. Up State then resurrected its challenge of the local law, which would spread the cost of assessing the needs for cell towers back to the developers. On. January 25, 2018 Judge Sedita resoundingly rejected the challenges by UpState Tower to the Village’s local laws, and dismissed the case they brought against the Village. Mayor Cara Birrittieri is happy with the court’s decision. She noted that Cell Tower Applications are often difficult for small communities because of the technical nature of the applications, and the out of pocket costs associated with determining what is necessary. She stated, “This decision sends a clear message that small villages and towns are not powerless against companies that use litigation as a means to an end. We are not against cell towers in Lakewood, we are against being forced to put any structure up in an area where our previous village leaders have decided they don’t belong.

Valentine’s Day Kid Gifts By Katy Wise Contributing Writer

Each year we get something small for our kids around Valentine’s Day, and each year it has been different. We don’t go all out by any means, especially not for each other. I think throughout our marriage we have only gotten each other Valentine’s Day gifts about 30% of the time. It’s just a holiday and one that honestly isn’t of too much significance. There are far more important things in life. We do occasionally get surprise gifts for each other, just because. I prefer this type of gift giving by a long shot. No guilt, no feeling of having to give 100% equally. Love isn’t guilt. There are plenty of things I could say about Valentine’s Day and guilt but I’m just not going to go there. The point is, we don’t do that around here, but we do make sure to love on our kids each chance that we get. One of those chances being Valentine’s Day. Throughout the years, we have done a variety of things. Clothes, binkies, rubber duckies, stuffed animals, the list goes on. We’ve had plenty of things that were definitely typical gifts for this holiday, and then things that were just items that they needed wrapped up in a cute package. Getting gifts for your kids shouldn’t break the bank. That isn’t going to help your kids at all. There were times where the gifts were more expensive than others, but we never pointed that out to them. We talked it up because it was a present and have tried our best to instill gratitude in them. There’s few worse things in parenting than giving

your child something and seeing a spoiled or entitled reaction. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes toddlers and kids in general are emotion buckets and their emotion needs a little channeling with the help of an adult. That’s where the help comes in though, to correct them and explain what the proper response would be. Regardless of whether they were a huge fan of what they just received. I’m not entirely sure where all of that came from, but it definitely pertains to the subject of gifts! So if you’re stumped on ideas for next week’s special day, here are some ideas for you. Some typical, some quirky, and some aren’t material objects at all. Some you can combine to make a great gift for multiple children (we are doing new craft and art supplies this year) and some can be combined for just one child, too. Many of these might be things you would never think of as gifts, but trust me, there is nothing like receiving a fresh glue stick, new markers and a pack of googly eyes when you’re a little kid. I get excited about it now! Maybe some of these gift ideas are actually for me... Anyways, I hope that these ideas can give you some inspiration if you need it. Every parent needs a little creative thinking boost every once in a while. Myself one hundred percent included. As always, thanks for reading and Happy Valentine’s Day! 1. Paints 2. Crayons 3. Fun scissors 4. Construction paper 5. Stickers 6. Coloring book 7. Glitter glue

NCCS “State of the School”

NEW NCCS PRINCIPAL PAVING WAY FOR SCHOOL’S FUTURE Contributed Article NCCS

Northern Chautauqua Catholic School in Dunkirk recently hosted a “State of the School Address” to update families on new initiatives, academic data and open enrollment for the upcoming school year. Five months into her new position as School Principal, Mrs. Jenny Tilaro reported on implementation of numerous initiatives underway, with many more planned. Teachers can now maintain their CLE certification via online webinars, in-school professional development, and the Erie 1 BOCES consortium. NCCS has welcomed new full-time teachers since retirements, along with additional substitute and SUNY Fredonia Graduate student teachers, providing the most current curriculum and teaching methods. Tilaro analyzes academic data to understand areas of success and in need of improvement. When comparing the school’s data to other nearby districts, in most cases NCCS is performing at, or well beyond surrounding schools in Reading, Math and English Language Arts. Tilaro is utilizing the “Thoughtful Classroom” model for high-quality teaching, aligning key themes in the Common Core and various teaching standards. Ms. Sarah Davis, ELA Prep School Teacher, is the Lead Teacher for this initiative. Specials have also been improved. Spanish and Technology now begin at age three, Religion increased to five days per week, and Spanish five days per week for 5-8th grade students. Academic Intervention Services have been expanded for Math and English Language Arts. In addition, the full-day 3-year-old program now has After School Care available. Deacon Mike Lemieux, NCCS Canonical Administrator, commended Principal Tilaro saying, “Mrs. Tilaro’s initiatives are paving the way for NCCS’ future.” Open Enrollment for the 2018-2019 school year just launched, with an Open House scheduled for February 27 from 6:00-7:30 p.m. This is an opportunity to meet teachers and administrators, learn about diverse educational programs, tour the school’s technology friendly classrooms; obtain facts about tuition and uniforms, and interact with the school’s strong NCCS family community. Private tours are also available. For more information about Northern Chautauqua Catholic school and enrollment for the 2018-2019 school year, contact NCCS at ncc_office@nccschool.us or 716-366-0630.

FREDONIA Eat your Fill of Pancakes SHROVE TUESDAY FEBRUARY 13, 2018

Contributed Article

Trinity Episcopal Church

On Tuesday evening, February 13, between 5-7 p.m., the Men of Trinity Episcopal Church will take over the Garland Hall kitchen and cook up some of the best pancakes and sausage, fruit cup and juice/coffee/tea for your dining pleasure. Traditionally this evening meal of pancakes was begun as a way to finish the last of the flour as there was to be no risen baking done until the end of Lent on Good Friday. That’s when hot cross buns made with the sign of the cross would appear. The pancake supper begins at 5 p.m. and the men will cook and serve until 7 p.m. The cost for this “all you can eat supper’ is $8.00 for adults and $5.00 for children and students. Children under the age of 5 eat for free. Entrance to Garland Hall is at the back of the church on 11 Day St. Fredonia, N.Y. See you there.

Opera House Cinema Series to Screen Oscar-Nominated “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” SCREENING OFFERS YOGA & MOVIE

Contributed Article

Fredonia Opera House

The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is the Oscar-nominated “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” starring Frances McDormand, Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell.” It will be screened on Sat., Feb. 10, and Tues., Feb. 13, at 7:30 p.m. Nominated for seven Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor, and winner of the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture Drama, “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” also won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Ensemble Cast (the equivalent of Best Picture). After months have passed without a suspect in her daughter’s murder case, Mildred Hayes (McDormand) makes a bold move, commissioning three signs leading into her town with a controversial message directed at William Willoughby (Harrelson), the town’s revered chief of police. When his second-in-command, Officer Dixon (Rockwell), an immature mama’s boy with a penchant for violence, takes umbrage and gets involved, the battle between Mildred and Ebbing’s law enforcement is only exacerbated. Joe Morgenstern, in the Wall Street Journal, says the film is “by turns – and sometimes simultaneously – darkly comic, blazingly profane, flat-out hilarious and shockingly violent, not to mention flippant, tender, poetic and profound.” Brian Truitt, in USA Today, calls “an expertly structured, brutal, yet surprisingly rousing narrative around a woman who’s ready to torch her entire life if it means catching a killer.” Christopher Orr, in The Atlantic, calls it “a revelation,

and among the very best films of 2017.” Richard Roeper, in the Chicago Sun Times, calls it “the best movie I’ve seen this year!” Rated R for graphic violence, strong language throughout, and some sexual references, “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” runs one hour, 55 minutes. In connection with the Sat., Feb. 10, 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 class 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. 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. Thanks to the generous support of an anonymous donor, the first 20 SUNY Fredonia students at each screening are admitted free. 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 hearing-impaired. Simply request one from any usher or Opera House staff member. The 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a membersupported not-for-profit performing arts center located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia.

older people and increases in average life expectancy as primary reasons for increasing the normal retirement age. So for individuals turning 65 in 2018, your full retirement age is age 66. Why do you need to worry about that now? Well, the age to be eligible for Medicare in 2018 is still 65 years old. And if you are not receiving social security benefits at the time you turn 65 years old, you will need to enroll YOURSELF into Medicare A & B. You will not automatically be enrolled into Medicare and if you do not enroll within your Initial Enrollment Period (3 months prior to your birthday, month of birth and 3 months after your birthday) you may be assessed a penalty. You can enroll into Medicare yourself in several ways: 1. If you are within three months of age 65 or older and not ready to

start your monthly Social Security benefits yet, you can enroll either online at www.ssa.gov or go directly to the local Social Security office to sign up just for Medicare and wait to apply for your retirement or spouse’s social security benefits later. 2. If you are age 65 or older and your medical insurance coverage is under an employer group health plan based on you, or your spouse's, current ACTIVE employment, you may not need to apply for Medicare (Part B) at age 65. You many only wish to enroll into Medicare Part A until you are no longer covered by an employer group plan.

All events are free and open to the public. Considered one of the great watersheds of 20th century geopolitical history, World War I claimed millions of lives, toppled dynasties, reshaped the political structure of Europe and ultimately contributed to an even more destructive conflict a generation later. It began in 1914, but the U.S. didn’t become involved until 1917. World War I literature contains an artistic representation of peace making, Vanwesenbeeck explained, that is generally absent in modern-day war literature. “Coming back to civilian life meant the war was over, and I think for modern-day veterans, this may not be the case,” she said. Attendees at the book reading are welcome to present authors and essays, poems, excerpts of novels or other literary works of their own choice. All events are free and open to the public. “I am hoping that we will have a peaceful, welcoming and inviting space where we can all engage in a dialogue about war and peace. We are inviting everyone to join us. No prior knowledge is necessary; just the wish to talk about war and peace,” Dr. Vanwesenbeeck said. For more information, contact Vanwesenbeeck at icial.vanwesenbeeck@fredonia.edu or 716.673.3125.

Single Parents Reaching Education to Employment (SPREE), an initiative made possible through the Empire State Poverty Initiative (ESPRI) and the WNY Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foundation, is under way at Jamestown Community Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jamestown Campus. SPREE, a program based on the WNY Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MOMs: From Education to EmploymentÂŽ model, assists students who are single parents by helping them develop skills and credentials that can lead to family sustaining employment or transfer to a four-year school. The SPREE program will serve up to 100 students through the spring 2019

semester. Funding to support 50 single mothers is provided through the WNY Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foundation, while ESPRI funds up to 50 other single parents from the city of Jamestown. SPREE achievement coach Courtney Reardon and project navigator Linda DeJoseph will help students stay on track to complete their academic program by providing strategic support through peer-to-peer mentoring, financial literacy guidance, career exploration services, and more. According to Eileen Goodling, JCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vice president of student development, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not uncommon at JCC to have students who have great capacity to achieve and succeed academically but who find that external factors such as inadequate child care, food insecurity, transportation, or housing become barriers to their college success.

How to Find the Ideal Gift for Her for Any Occasion Contributed Article StatePoint

A gift is much more than a simple present. It’s a reflection of the relationship being celebrated. While finding the perfect gift may seem intimidating, it doesn’t have to be. To help make this a successful gift-giving experience, Laurie Kosarik, vice president of Merchandising at Jared the Galleria Of Jewelry, is sharing a few tips. Focus on Style It seems obvious, but one thing many shoppers forget is to focus on a recipient’s individual style and taste. If you aren’t sure, do a little research. Checking out what she may have pinned on Pinterest is often a helpful reference. Another option is to look at the latest on-trend styles as a jumping off point. “We are seeing a lot of excitement for the trends of stacking and layering,” says Kosarik. Whether stacking rings with different colors of gold or layering necklaces and bracelets by mixing and matching bolder pieces with those that are more delicate, there is no shortage of beautiful options available that are on-trend this year. Make it Meaningful The gifts that are most remembered and appreciated are those that carry extra meaning -- whether they reflect unique appreciation of the recipient or commemorate a cherished memory. For example, you can show how much you love her style with a gift from the Le Vian or Earthly Treasures Smithsonian collections from Jared, which feature exciting color combinations. A selection from either collection can dress up an everyday look or add a bold touch to a more formal ensemble. If you are looking for a gift that delivers a special message, the Ever Us collection offers a selection of styles, each featuring two diamonds -- one for your best friend and one for your true love -- for the woman who is both. New is Interwoven, a collection featuring two intertwined rows of diamonds coming together at a single diamond to celebrate the belief that wherever life takes us, we go together. Ask for Help It’s perfectly natural to feel a little stuck when you really want to wow someone with the perfect gift. When you find yourself in that predicament, don’t be bashful about seeking assistance. Family and friends are always a great resource but a good sales associate will also always be more than happy to lend a hand. “Our sales associates love collaborating with guests to really understand the feelings behind the gift, and to help them find the perfect piece for a recipient. It’s truly one of the most rewarding parts of our job.” For more gift-giving inspiration, visit Jared.com. With a little extra effort, you can make any special occasion sparkle for that special woman on your list.

Local Signature Holes (Part 2) By Stefan Gestwicki

Star Contributing Writer

When you think of certain courses, there are specific holes that pop into your head immediately, right? That’s the topic I started delving into last week in regards to some of our local courses here in Chautauqua County. I pegged No. 7 at Cassadaga Country Club, No. 6 at Pinehurst Golf Course and No. 5 at The Vineyards Golf Course as the signature holes of their respective courses. This week I’ll be taking a look at some more of our local area courses. Keep in mind this is totally subjective. What’s “signature” in my head might be overtly forgettable to others. Still, it’s a fun discussion. Here we go. HILLVIEW GOLF COURSE (Fredonia): No. 4 — This was a tough choice as its been my most-played course each of the past two years. Every hole is engrained in my head. But I’m choosing the course’s first of two par 3s. This is an extremely short hole (I usually take a pitching wedge off the tee depending on pin placement), but the pond between the tee box and the green makes for an intimidating sight to some. The tee box is also totally surrounded by trees, which is a nice touch in its own right. Several years ago, I would have said No. 7 at Hillview without a doubt, but the removal of the massive tree that essentially blocked the green from the left side of the fairway makes the hole far less daunting. It’s still a great green in the middle of a grove of trees, but that one that forced golfers to come at the green from only the right side of the fairway was legendary. SHOREWOOD COUNTRY CLUB (Dunkirk): No. 7 — My apologies to Shorewood members or regulars if this is totally off-base. This is the course on this list that I’ve played the fewest times, but this hole is the one that stands out to me. It’s a long (526 yards from the white tees) par 5. Only the biggest hitters can think about reaching the green in two, but even then there’s a creek directly in front of the green, providing something of a moat. There’s also a fairway bunker smack dab in the middle of the fairway right around where the average golfer probably hits their second shot. Then what? You’re not getting over the creek out of that bunker, right? It’s a dangerous hole, for sure, but one I’ve had a lot of fun playing. The other hole at Shorewood that stands out for me is the course’s first par 3 – No. 3, in fact. It’s not short at around 180 yards, but the green is massive. The creek also runs between the tee box and the green, but it’s more of a pleasing aesthetic than a hazard. ROSEBROOK GOLF COURSE (Silver Creek/Irving): No. 10 — Gosh there are a lot of unique holes at this course thanks to plenty of water and a giant ravine. CONTINUED ON PAGE 28

28 • friday, february 9, 2018 GOLFER'S DIARY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 27 It’s the ravine that makes No. 10 stand out. As the first hole on the back nine, you tee off from right next to the clubhouse, attempting to send your ball up over the gully to the raised green. Not only that, but there’s a nasty bunker right in front of the green. The very first time I played this hole I thought I had the best shot of my life, but it hit the lip of the bunker and rolled back in. I’m surprised I’m still not out there trying to get my ball out. There are plenty of holes that merit mentioning. No. 11 is a par 4 that requires about a 9-iron off the tee thanks to its unusual shape. No. 4 is a par 3 with a massive green, but also goes over an enormous pond. Again, there’s a whole lot of water on this course that makes every hole both a challenge and a visual delight. I’m not sure I can do another entry onto this list. That’s just more proof that I need to get out and play more courses this year. Until then, golf is great. Go get some.

These Were the Best Super Bowl Car Commercials providing "grandiose speeches" to make a big point. Instead, "Anti-Manifesto" simply shows a 2018 Jeep Wrangler driving through a relatively deep body of water before climbing a rocky waterfall -- a simple ad that apparently uses one simple take and some voiceover to display the Jeep Wrangler's amazing capabilities. Jeep: Jurassic Contributed Article Jeep's "Jurassic" Super Bowl commerby Doug DeMuro cial started with a few scenes from the Autotrader Jeep Wrangler's original appearance in the very first Jurassic Park movie back in 1993. Then the commercial cuts Like many of you, I watched last to present day, where Jeff Goldblum Sunday's Super Bowl -- and like many (one of the stars of the original movie) of you, I paid attention to the comis driving a 2018 Wrangler away from mercials just as much as the game, an angry dinosaur. It turns out to be since they have a reputation for being just his imagination. At the end of the the best that most brands can come up commercial, he's shown sitting in a Jeep with.

Again Jeep: Anti-Manifesto Kia showed off its new Stinger GT Jeep's "Anti-Manifesto" ad is a simple in a hilarious ad featuring race car premise: Many car commercials view driver Emerson Fittipaldi, who watches their Super Bowl ad as a manifesto,

The drive takes Tyler back in time, to a period where he had throngs of adoring fans eagerly pursuing a younger version of himself. The ad's tag line, "Feel Something Again," is perfectly appropriate. Toyota: One Team

Toyota's "One Team" ad is a funny ode to togetherness, showing leaders from several different faiths all coming together -- in a Toyota Tundra, of course -- to watch their favorite team play football. The ad makes some funny quips before it ends by reminding us that "we're all one team" as the rabbi, priest, imam and monk all sit together in the stands and cheer for their team.

3 Reasons to Consider Refinancing Your Auto Loan Contributed Article StatePoint

Most people know they can refinance their mortgage, but less than half are aware that they can also refinance their auto loan, according to a study by Harris Poll for Ally Financial. It’s a simple task that could reduce your car payments by about $1,300 a year. The following considerations can help you determine whether refinancing your auto loan is the right step for you. • Interest rates: Can you reduce your monthly costs by lowering your rate? Compare your current interest rate to those advertised. Keep in mind that there are several aspects of your financial history that may have impacted your interest rate for a loan, including credit score and credit history. If your credit score has significantly increased since you financed your vehicle, it may be time to refinance to a lower interest rate. • Tight monthly budgets: If you need to make some room in your budget due to changing life circumstances or simply have a desire to sock more money away into savings, refinancing your auto loan is a move that may have a substantial impact on your finances. For example, those who have refinanced PHOTO SOURCE: (c) pathdoc/stock.Adobe.com their vehicles through Clearlane, Ally’s online auto financing platform, have you if you can now afford a higher monthly payment than when you purreduced their monthly payments by an average of $112. chased your vehicle, thanks to a raise or new stream of income. • Reducing the term: Another reason many choose to refinance is to reduce If you choose to refinance, be sure to review your loan agreement and terms to the number of payments they will have to make, with the goal of reducing the make sure you understand your current loan. You should also be aware of any total amount of interest paid over the course of the loan. This may appeal to costs that could be incurred by refinancing or changing the terms of your loan.
