Netsync and You: Truly a Powerful Connection Contributed Article DFT Communications

It’s 2017. Technology has become integrated into just about every facet of our society. And yet, there’s still a residual fear that seems to come with each new influx of technological upgrades. Of course, there are reasons to justify that fear. You’ve read the articles about security concerns and viruses that have plagued large corporations. If they can’t be safe; how could you possibly be safe? Well, rest assured, Netsync is here to help. This year, we’ve launched into new territory by honing our skills and dedicating time, staffing and capital to increase our Internet Technology (IT) Management division to a level it’s never been at before. “We’re seeing such a need – in both the business and residential spectrums – for information technology services,” said Mark R. Maytum, President and COO of DFT Communications. “The industry requirements are increasing and we’re stepping up our game to meet those requirements for our continually growing customer base.” Take, for example, Wi-Fi. Five years ago, the average home may have had a mobile phone, a laptop

and a tablet. Today, the average home has nearly ten wireless devices running simultaneously. The effects of this non-connected lifestyle have the potential to be truly freeing, except when you’re still running on the same wireless platform you were five years ago. It’s not made to keep up with current demands. Enter Netsync. Our team of trained professionals will work with you to create a truly customized – and affordable - plan that will saturate your halls and rooms with reliable Wi-Fi that’s fast, safe and secure. Another area our IT Management team can step in is with regards to networking and network security. “You need your network to have a solid defense system,” said Kris Maytum, Director of IT and Voice Services at Netsync. “We can do that. We can build an in-house network that allows cloud access so you can work from anywhere, without letting any see anything that they shouldn’t.” Additionally, Netsync’s IT Management division will work with you on backup and recovery, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) Phone Systems, Unified Communications, Security and Monitoring, Mobile Development, Colocation and Data Storage. “We want you to think of us as your own personal IT staff,” said Kris. “We’re here when you need us, where you need us.” Netsync operates free of bound-

aries – their IT services are available to residents of Chautauqua County and beyond. Contact Netsync today to upgrade your Wi-Fi, secure your network, and take your home or business into the technology of 2017. For more information on the DFT Communications family of services, visit www.dftcommunications.com. Located at 40 Temple Street in Fredonia, they can be contacted at 673-3000.

The Weekly Word MARRIAGE DYNAMICS

Rev. Timothy Stahlman Family Church Jamestown fcjamestown.org

Marriage is under attack on all fronts in our society today. People and children are getting

hurt because too many people are clueless about the true meaning of marriage. Selfishness cannot rule over selflessness. Marriages are failing because one or both parties are overly selfish and seldom selfless. We have let sensationalism and the glitz of media twist our definition of marriage. If you have ever read the cover of the glamour magazines at the supermarket check out, you would think that getting married was a competition to see who can throw the most elaborate party. That is not what marriage is. Marriage

is a COVENANT between a man and a woman where each side VOWS to MEET THE NEEDS OF THE OTHER. When you stood across from your spouse at the altar or wherever you were, you were essentially promising to sacrifice your convenience to fulfill the life of your husband or wife. Many people marry for all the wrong reasons. They get married for their own gain. People will marry to be financially secure, to gain greater possessions, to extend their social lives, or to mend the hurt from a past failed relationship. The only reason a man should

ever marry a woman and vice versa is because they love one another so much that they are willing to sacrifice anything for that person. The problem that exists in relationships today is that our culture does not understand the meaning of COVENANT. A covenant is a life binding relationship in which all that belongs to a person now becomes equally the possessions of their covenant partner. It means that you would rather die than not meet the needs for that person. The most dishonorable thing a person can do is neglect their covenant vows.

In foreign nations and tribes, covenant is a very serious thing. In these other cultures when two sides enter into covenant there is shedding of blood. Historically both people would cut their arms and mix the blood together in a glass of wine and then each side would drink a half of the mixture. They would then place gunpowder in the wound to make a scar. That scar would remind them they have a covenant responsibility. I know this sounds extreme but this is an illustration of how serious covenant is. Marriage is a covenant. We should dread the

thought of not holding up our end of the vow. This means that your spouse and their feelings come before your wants and desires. Your spouse is more important than your friends and hobbies. 1 Peter 3:7 says, "Likewise, husbands, dwell with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the wife as the precious vessel, and as being heirs of the grace of life together and that your PRAYERS BE NOT HINDERED." A failure to put a spouse first will hinder your faith and what you pray about. The grace of life can only work for those that honor covenant.

Fredonia Radio Systems Named 'Best College Station in the Nation' Contributed Article State University of New York at Fredonia

Fredonia Radio Systems (FRS) brought back top honors from the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System's 77th annual conference held in New York City March 4. FRS, the student organization which operates WDVL-CL 89.5 and WCVF 88.9 FM, was awarded the overall Abraham & Borst Award as the “Best College Station in the Nation.” The top prize was one of six WCVF received. The other awards include first place for “Best College Radio Station (Under 10,000 students)," Noah Maciejewski for “Best On-Air Personality,” Dan Salazar for “Best Promotion Poster;" Matt Pantano, Jaret Belschwinder and Jay Wilkie for “Best Hockey Play by Play," and Alex Behrens for “Best Use of Graphics in a Video." Overall, FRS was a finalist in 12 categories. The conference included numerous seminars in areas related to engineering, social media, public relations and much more. On the last day of the conference, IBS held an awards show to honor the most prestigious college stations in the nation. “We’ve all worked so hard for this and it’s a really great feeling to be recognized nationally," said Rebecca D’Hilly, general manager for Fredonia Radio Systems. "We never thought this would happen. We want to keep getting better and uphold our position as number one college station in the country.” “I called Laura Johnson (of the Department of Communication), our station advisor, as soon as we were awarded the plaque saying we were the best in the na-

tion," Ms. D'Hilly continued. "She was so proud of us for how far we’ve come and I couldn’t help but cry. It’s a great feeling to make someone who has worked hard with the students to make FRS the best so proud." Fredonia Radio Systems offers all students, regardless of major, the opportunity to work in management, business, promotion, sales, traffic, music, production, news, sports, community service, and engineering. The station is managed and staffed by student volunteers. Its offices and studios are located in McEwen Hall.

CCHS Called to Assist ASPCA in Cat Re-Homing Contributed Article The Chautauqua County Humane Society

The Chautauqua County Humane Society is seeking the public’s help in re-homing barn cats from an ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) temporary shelter in New York City. Agencies all across the United States, including CCHS, are taking part in a massive operation to care for and re-home hundreds of cats that were believed to have been exposed to the avian flu virus, H7N2. In early January, more than 450 cats were transported to the ASPCA temporary shelter through the ACC (Animal Care Centers of NYC). The cats have been quarantined at the facility ever since and have all recently been deemed healthy and are no longer contagious. The ASPCA recently reached out to CCHS to see if they would be willing to take in a number of these cats, a majority being feral barn cats. CCHS agreed to do so under the condition that individuals would need to commit to adopting the barn cats before they would be transferred to CCHS. Barn cats are feral (semi-wild) and typically live on farms or in warehouses, stables, or other suitable outdoor locations. When owning a barn cat, the owner’s only responsibilities are to provide daily food/water and protection from the elements. Long-term vet care should also be considered. Experts suggest a short period of confinement so that the cats can adjust and accept your barn as their new home.

There are many benefits to adopting one of these barn cat(s), including the following: • Barn cats keep rodents and other unwanted pests out of your barn and property. They also protect your feed and other grains. • The cats are already spayed/neutered and vaccinated and were given proper veterinary care. • To put it simply, you are saving a life! Feral cats are not suitable as companions in a family home therefore we need to find alternative placement for them, such as barns and warehouses. • There are no costs associated with adopting barn cats. If you or anyone you know would be interested in adopting a barn cat(s), please contact Sue Bobek at 716.665.2209 ext. 212 or sbobek@spcapets.com as soon as possible. It should be noted that while CCHS assists the ASPCA in cases such as these, CCHS is not financially supported by the ASPCA in any way. CCHS is a local, non-profit organization that is not affiliated with or funded by any level of government nor by any national groups such as the ASPCA. For more information on the Chautauqua County Humane Society, connect with CCHS on Facebook or visit spcapets.com. The mission of the Chautauqua County Humane Society is to provide temporary shelter and rehabilitation for homeless animals for the purpose of finding permanent new homes. CCHS supports healthy pet initiatives through community involvement, humane education and animal care for people in need.

Time to introduce everyone to another Wise family favorite. There are certain meals that every family has in their cooking repertoire, the hard to get tired of, time savers. Admittedly, not all of our family favorites are quick and easy to fix, but this one really is. Depending on how elaborate you choose to make your own burrito bowl, and how many toddler-kid-puppy distractions interrupt you, this meal can take as little as fifteen minutes and at the most, forty-five minutes. We usually lean towards the shorter amount of time around here. If you've caught any of my trifle bowl recipes, then you have probably heard the term 'endless possibilities,' countless times. Maybe this column should be renamed to endless possibilities for all the times that I use that phrase when it comes to baking. I'm going to say it again though, endless possibilities. This dinner is the trifle bowl of main courses. Except that it's even better than a main course, because it's an all in one dish, but not in the strictly casserole kind of way. This meal has plenty of nutrition, dependent upon what you put into it of course, but can easily be adapted to many diet plans and nutrition requirements as needed. Endless possibilities. See, I said it again. I just had to, guys. Once you try it you'll get it, I promise. Very similar to several popular Mexican inspired restaurants, you can make up several bowls of ingredients and let each person assemble according to their own tastes, or you can layer them

Burrito Bowls all in one bowl and share. When you're done with dinner, this will make lots of extra meals for food prep throughout the week. We prefer the one bowl method for our family. It's easier for us and our kids really couldn't be called picky eaters. When they don't eat it's almost always because they simply aren't hungry. We're also working on just eating around the foods you don't prefer rather than causing a toddler scene. Can any Mommies out there testify to that? Really though, I know it's already been said, but our kids aren't terrible by any means. They're easy to feed and a joy to have dinner with, not to mention incredibly entertaining table mates. Burrito bowls are one of their favorites. Not that I plan my entire weekly menu based on what they'll be excited to eat, but there's something about hearing your kids say, 'yay!' when you tell them what's for dinner. To be perfectly honest, I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I usually let them have tortilla chips with this particular meal. Any meal that includes a chip side is a safe bet with kids. Without any further introduction, here is the basic recipe for burrito bowls. As always, thanks for reading and happy dining from HBK! Burrito Bowls Ingredients • 1 lb. Meat of choice, ground beef or chicken • Taco seasoning • 4 C. Rice • 1 C. Black beans, drained • 1 1/2 C. Corn • 1 1/2 C. Shredded cheese • 1 C. Salsa • 1/3 C. Sour cream

Optional: Chopped onions, green bell peppers, cilantro, tortilla chips First step is to prepare the meat. For a vegetarian burrito bowl, you could easily add lettuce in place of meat and make this into a salad. We have tried that before and it was delicious. We usually use 93% lean ground beef. Once beef is browned, season according to directions. I don't use packages of seasoning, I just sprinkle a small amount of hot sauce on top, with one teaspoon each of cumin, chili powder and garlic powder, one tablespoon of flour on top and stir in 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a low boil, then turn down heat and simmer for about 5 minutes while the sauce thickens up. Stir often.

This should taste very similar to a seasoning packet. Prepare the rest of your layers and you're done! It's really that simple! There's no specific method to how you need to layer in the bowl, but I personally prefer the rice on the bottom, then half of the cheese, meat, veggies, rest of the cheese, salsa, and sour cream on the top. This melts the cheese pretty evenly and gives a nice colorful display. Red onions and diced green peppers make for an absolutely beautiful burrito bowl, by the way. Serve while still warm, with chips or by itself.

Estate Plans: You're Not Doing Anyone a Favor by Avoiding the Subject Contributed Article NewsUSA

Do your kids realize just how much money you're really worth once all your assets are added up? If they're anything like the adult offspring surveyed for Fidelity Investments' "Family & Finance Study," the answer is a resounding -- and rather scary -- "no." In fact, seven out of 10 of them underestimated their parents' estate by an average of $278,000. That's right, by more than a quarter of a million dollars. The reason that's scary -- and why it should be a wake-up call for even those with modest estates they hope to pass on to heirs -- is simple: It illustrates a breakdown in communications that Kevin Ruth, head of Fidelity's wealth planning and personal trust, says badly needs addressing through 'frank conversations" between parents and their adult children. "Even in the simplest of family situations, conversations that don't occur frequently and in detail can result in fairly substantial family disagreements and disconnects," says Ruth. "Establishing an estate plan is your best bet to ensure your loved ones are taken care of in your absence and that your wishes are carried out the way you want." In fact, according to the study, the two generations apparently can't even agree on whether they've already had such detailed talks. Seventy percent of parents surveyed believe they have; more than 50 percent of their children claim they haven't. So what are the benefits of an estate plan? Well, among other things, it allows you to: • Preserve and maintain control over the transfer of your assets. • Protect your family's privacy and possibly avoid probate. • Provide immediate access to liquidity. • Choose how your beneficiaries will receive assets. • Designate who'll execute your wishes even if you're just incapacitated. Plus, for those who despise the thought of the government getting any more money than legally required, having a sound estate plan in place could help your heirs avoid needlessly paying certain Federal estate taxes (not to mention state estate and inheritance taxes, depending on local laws). Ah, but you're stuck on that $278,000 figure, right? Actually, given how complicated today's lives often are -- what with stepchildren's interests to protect, say, and family businesses to pass on -- most people, and not just the very wealthy, could do with some solid estate planning. Heck, even distributions from IRAs and Roth IRAs can be tricky if the aim is to "stretch" payments out to beneficiaries, tax-deferred or tax-free, for as long as decades. Attorneys and tax advisors can help you set up an estate plan, and online resources like Fidelity's Estate Planning Overview provide a good idea of what's involved. As for why parents and their children may be reluctant to discuss the subject, Ruth has an explanation: "It's human nature to avoid thinking about one's own mortality."

Contributed Article Chamber of Commerce

Regional Solutions Make Dollars and Sense 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 Regionalism may sound like a contemporary buzzword, but it can be both a solution and a forwardthinking move for a number of local governments and school districts. In the past four months, two villages in Chautauqua County have voted to dissolve into the surrounding town governments. After a vote last November, the Village of Forestville is dissolving into the Town of Hanover, while the Village of Cherry Creek will be dissolved into the Town of Cherry Creek after a vote taken in February. In December, voters in the Village of Sherman decided by a slim two-vote margin, that they would not dissolve the village into the Town of Sherman. The critical issue for these small government entities is the increasing cost of doing business. All levels of government are working to try to save money at a time when costs are going up and when New York State, rightfully, is focused on encouraging governments to remain within the two-percent tax cap. Meanwhile, the Panama and Clymer School Districts are engaged in a similar process. They have agreed to move forward with a feasibility study to review issues including enrollment, curricula, transportation, taxes, and state aid. The two districts have been sharing a superintendent for some time now, creating a cost-saving move previously unseen in Chautauqua County. We commend these two school districts for taking this next step, which is required by the State Education Department in any school merger discussion. In the meantime, one long-debated move toward shared services continues to languish: the proposed consolidation of the Jamestown Police Department and Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Department. We recognize that consolidating public safety is a challenging process but we encourage the leaders involved to continue to move the process forward. Calling the property tax “the most burdensome tax to homeowners and business owners,” Governor

Chamber Corner Andrew Cuomo has proposed a measure that would require county officials to create plans to coordinate, share, and eliminate duplicate services. These measures would go through a public hearing process and would be put on the ballot as local referendums in the November election, giving voters an opportunity to have a say in controlling their own tax burdens. The focus would be on creating recurring savings and not simply shift tax burdens. Consolidating government or service entities is vital to the success of our region. One of our key goals is to advocate for positive change with a focus on reducing taxes. Not only does that create a stronger business climate, but it enhances economic conditions for all of our residents. We are pleased with ongoing efforts in Chautauqua County and the work of the Regional Solutions Commission formed by County Executive Vince Horrigan. We strongly encourage local governments and school districts to continue to review ways they can maintain needed services while saving taxpayer dollars.

Park System Welcomed 69.3 Million Visitors in 2016; 3.9 Million More Than in 2015 Contributed Article NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced New York state parks, historic sites and campgrounds hosted 69.3 million estimated visitors in 2016, a 6 percent increase over 2015 and a 21 percent increase since the Governor took office in 2011. “New York parks are the heart of the tourism economy, and these numbers show that more and more people are discovering their unparalleled natural beauty and recreation opportunities that are available in every corner of the state," Governor Cuomo said. "This administration's major investments to preserve and improve our parks, historic sites and campgrounds are critical to attracting new visitors, and I encourage New Yorkers and visitors alike to explore everything our parks system has to offer." Rose Harvey, Commissioner of the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, said, “New York’s parks and historic sites continue to benefit from Governor Cuomo’s strong efforts to revitalize and promote the state park system and the great outdoors. We look forward to welcoming more New York State residents and tourists as we continue to improve and enhance our park system in 2017.” Park system attendance was boosted by many factors, including major improvements to park facilities such as the reopening the historic West Bathhouse at Jones Beach and renewal of Terrapin Point at Niagara Falls; the Connect Kids to Parks initiative offering free park entry to fourth-graders; an extended swimming season after Labor Day, record overnight visitation at State Park campgrounds; and favorable weather throughout the summer and late into the fall. Annual park system attendance has climbed steadily from the 57.2 million visits recorded in 2011, reflecting Governor Cuomo’s commitment to improving State Parks, expanding access to outdoor recreation, and promoting the state’s vast tourism and recreational attractions. Under Governor Cuomo's leadership, New York is making a historic commitment to improving and expanding access to outdoor recreation. The Governor's NY Parks 2020 program is a multi-year commitment to leverage $900 million in private and public funding for State Parks from 2011 to 2020. The FY 2018 Executive Budget includes $120 million toward this initiative. In addition, the Governor proposed completing the Hudson River Valley Greenway and Erie Canalway trails by 2020 to create the Empire State Trail, the largest state multi-use trail in the nation. The state will develop 350 miles of new trail in three phases to create a 750-mile pathway for hiking and biking along scenic vistas and through historic communities.

Hot or Not? Discover this Year’s Most In-Demand Jobs Contributed Article StatePoint

Whether you just entered the career world or have been in the workforce for years, if you’re hunting for a new gig, it’s time to discover this year’s hottest jobs. The 2017 Hot Jobs report, recently released by Randstad US, one of the largest HR services and staffing companies in the country, reveals the most in-demand and emerging jobs across engineering, finance and accounting, human resources, information technology (IT), life sciences, manufacturing and logistics, office and administration, and non-clinical healthcare. “Our experts, along with many economists, predict a strong economy in 2017, which is likely to result in more job opportunities nationwide,” says Jim Link, chief human resources officer for Randstad North America. “It’s important to stay in-the-know to find out which jobs hold the greatest potential. Job seekers looking for career growth can improve their chances of landing these coveted roles by knowing employer pain points and packaging their skills and knowledge as potential solutions.” To help candidates better understand what type of job market they face, Randstad is offering tips for landing a hot job. • If you have a knack for science and technology, consider engineering. The industry continues to evolve based on market trends and technical innovation, and the unemployment rate for the overall field is well below the national average. • Interested in finance and accounting? Beef up your public accounting and general ledger software skills to be more competitive. You’ll also have a leg up if you speak a second language, as the demand for bilingual candidates continues to rise. • Passionate about working in a front or back office role within the healthcare system? Non-clinical healthcare is booming, with emerging jobs like medical secretary and medical assistant in facilities need-

ing additional support. • Discover new opportunities in life sciences by exploring positions flush with research and development funding. With continued innovations in medical technology, the changing regulatory environment and upcoming patent expirations, the industry requires highly specialized talent to fill open voids. • Be the IT guy and consider a job in Big Data. While IT is an ever-growing industry, Big Data positions are critical to increasing productivity, and innovation is in high demand. • As office and administration roles grow, these positions are starting to look more like middle management than support staff. If you possess diverse skills

with experience in project management, budgeting, marketing and training, you’ll have the upper hand. • New technology and innovative production systems are sparking a rebirth in American manufacturing and logistics. Job seekers with previous experience, higher education, technological know-how or training will have a competitive edge. • As employers seek new talent to fill all these hot jobs, consider being the human in human resources. A field with rapid technological advancements, professionals with a digital mindset will lead the pack. For full study results, visit Randstad’s 2017 Hot Jobs report and learn more about which industry or position is right for you.

Could a Pure Maple Syrup Extract Be Tapped for Better Brain Health? Contributed Article PureCanadaMaple.com

Pure Maple Syrup Research Shows Promise in the Fight Against Alzheimer’s Disease As part of a two-day symposium at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society in 2016, a group of international scientists shared promising results of 24 studies exploring the beneficial effects of natural products on the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer’s disease. For the first time at this symposium, real maple syrup was included among the healthful, functional foods that show promise in protecting brain cells against the kind of damage found in Alzheimer’s disease. One study presented by Dr. Donald Weaver, from the Krembil Research Institute of the University of Toronto, found that an extract of maple syrup may help prevent the misfolding and clumping of two types of proteins found in brain cells – beta amyloid and tau peptide. When cellular proteins fold improperly and clump together, they accumulate and form the plaque that is involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s and other brain diseases. The other research presented at the symposium showed that a pure maple syrup extract prevented the fibrillation (tangling) of beta amyloid proteins and exerted neuroprotective effects in rodent’s microglial brain cells. Scientists have found that a decrease in microglial brain cell function is associated with Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological problems. The maple syrup extract also prolonged the lifespan of an Alzheimer’s roundworm model in vivo. The study was conducted out of the University of Rhode Island, in collaboration with researchers at Texas State University, and was led by Dr. Navindra P. Seeram, the symposium’s organizer. “Natural food products such as green tea, red wine, berries, curcumin and pomegranates continue to be studied for their potential benefits in combatting Alzheimer’s disease. And now, in preliminary laboratory-based Alzheimer’s disease studies, phenolic-enriched extracts of maple syrup from Canada

showed neuroprotective effects, similar to resveratrol, a compound found in red wine,” said Dr. Seeram. “However, further animal and eventually human studies would be required to confirm these initial findings.” These preliminary findings help support discoveries made over the past few years on the inherent properties of pure maple syrup that comes directly from the sap of the maple tree, making it an all-natural product with unique health benefits. Serge Beaulieu, President of the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers, is excited by the findings of the independent scientific studies and enthusiastic about the potential pure maple syrup may have on neurological health. “The Federation and the 7300 Quebec maple enterprisers are committed to investing in scientific research to help better understand the link between food and health. This has been demonstrated by a robust and carefully guided research program that started in 2005 to explore the potential health benefits of pure maple syrup,” said Beaulieu. “We already know that maple has more than 100 bioactive compounds, some of which have anti-inflammatory properties. Brain health is the latest topic of exploration and we look forward to learning more about the potential benefits that maple syrup might have in this area.” Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease that impairs daily functioning through gradual loss of memory. Alzheimer’s has no current cure, but treatments for symptoms are available and research continues. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, every 67 seconds, someone in the U.S. develops Alzheimer’s disease, a condition that currently cannot be cured, prevented or even slowed. It is the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S., afflicts 11 percent of the U.S. population over the age of 65, and carries with it an annual health care cost of $226 billion (2015 estimate). The Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers does not promote an increase of sugar consumption. When choosing a sweetener for moderate use, pure maple syrup has more healthful compounds compared to some other sources of sugar.

CVCS to present 'The Sound of Music' Contributed Article Cassadaga Valley Central Schools

The hills are alive in Chautauqua County! This year the Cassadaga Valley Middle/High School musical is proud to present Rodgers & Hammerstein's classic "The Sound of Music." The show will be performed Fridays and Saturdays, March 10-11 and 17-18. All shows are at 7:30 p.m. Set in Austria on the eve of the Anschluss in 1938, the musical tells the story of Maria, who takes a job as governess to a large family while she decides whether to become a nun. She falls in love with the children, and eventually their widowed father, Captain von Trapp. He is ordered to accept a commission in the German navy, but he opposes the Nazis. He and Maria decide on a plan to flee Austria with the children. Many songs from the musical have become standards, such as "Edelweiss," "My Favorite Things," "Climb Ev'ry Mountain," "Do-Re-Mi," and the title song "The Sound of Music." This is the first time Cassadaga Valley has staged "The Sound of Music" in more than 40 years. Melissa Beichner is the overall director, Nicole Zenns is the pit orchestra director, and Shawn Salim is the set and stage crew manager. The show stars students: Emily Hagberg as Maria, Titus Miller as Captain von Trapp, Leonie Happel as the Mother Abbess, Norman Barker as Max, Abigail Bacon as Elsa, and Spencer Blake as Rolf. The von Trapp children are played by Courtney Hays, Collin Beichner, Grace Zahm, Ian Andersen, Gavin Blake, Brooke Jasinski, Isabella Dutton, Alyzza Zuech, and Eliza Andersen. There are more than 80 students involved in the production. "We wanted to do this show because this is a classic musical that is beloved by people of all ages, and the musical showcases the talents of so many students, so we felt like it was the right time. The show highlights the importance of family and standing up for what you believe to be right, and I think these are valuable lessons we can all learn," said Mrs. Beichner. A Cassadaga Valley alumnus, this is her second time directing the school musical at CVCS. Last year she directed "The Wizard of Oz," taking over for Joseph Braeger who retired in 2015. This is the first time Cassadaga Valley is doing its school musical over two weekends. To order tickets for March 10-11th or 17-18th, call 962-8581 ext. 601 or go to www.cvcougars.org. Ticket prices are $8 for adults and $6 for students. There is an additional 50-cent fee per ticket when ordering online. "The Sound of Music" was the last musical written by Rodgers & Hammerstein. It debuted in 1959 and was adapted as a film musical in 1965. If you've never seen

Opera House Cinema Series to Screen “Lion”

ENTERTAINMENT 21 Student Art on Display in Silver Creek

Contributed Article

1891 Fredonia Opera House

Silver Creek Central School District

The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is “Lion,” starring Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman. It will be screened on Sat., Mar. 11, and Tues., Mar. 14, at 7:30 p.m. Nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor and Actress for Patel and Kidman, “Lion” is the incredible true story of Saroo Brierly. As a five-year-old in his small village in India, Saroo gets lost on a train which takes him thousands of miles across the country, away from home and family. Saroo struggles to survive alone in Calcutta, before ultimately being adopted by an Australian couple. Twenty-five years later, armed with only a handful of memories, his unwavering determination, and a revolutionary technology known as Google Earth, he sets out to find his lost family and finally return to his first home. Richard Roeper, in the Chicago Sun Times, calls the film “a beautifully told, uplifting story of courage and determination.” Stephanie Merry, in the Washington Post, calls it “a complex movie, with its profound themes of home and identity.” Calvin Wilson, in the St. Louis Post Dispatch, calls it “a family film in the best sense.” Moira MacDonald, in the Seattle Times, says “‘Lion’ has one of those plot lines that feels like a Hollywood screenplay – except it actually happened.” Rated PG13 for thematic material and some sensuality, “Lion” runs one hour, 58 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 hearing-impaired. 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.

The State University of New York at Fredonia’s Sport Management Club members and faculty returned to the Super Bowl for the third time in four years, but Super Bowl LI – won by the New England Patriots in a stunning comeback over the Atlanta Falcons – was the first year they were issued “game day” assignments at the premier sporting event. At NRG Stadium in Houston, the Fredonians helped to direct fans and celebrities while also handling additional tasks they took on at other Super Bowls that are designed to enhance the fan experience at the iconic game between the AFC and NFC champions. Fifteen current students who were joined by one alumnus and two faculty members earned internship credits by taking part in hands-on sport industry experiences during the week leading up to the game day. They were able to apply what they learned in the classroom to real-world sport management aspects and concepts that included marketing, event planning, promotions, game day operations and facility management, according to Sport Management Assistant Professor Penny Hite. Providing security at autograph signing stations, interacting with fans at the combine and games, as well as working other fan experience events, were among individual tasks taken on by students. But game day was an entirely different and exhilarating experience, Dr. Hite added. It immersed student more fully into the storied Super Bowl experience. CONTINUED ON PAGE 23

The second annual Chautauqua Lake Dragon Boat Race has been scheduled for August 12, 2017 at Lucille Ball Memorial Park in Celoron, NY. This year’s event will once again benefit the Chautauqua Lake Association. The inaugural event in 2016 was an overwhelming success with over 20 boats comprised of teams from local sponsors, community groups and several experienced clubs. Over 1,000 people gathered in the park for the race participants, as friends and family shared

in a fun-filled afternoon of friendly competition. The CHQ Dragon Boat Race continues to be the only event of its kind held in the surrounding area. Registration is now open for teams and individuals with a discounted rate available for those who register before June 15th. The event will provide all the necessary equipment needed to participate including the boat, paddles

and lifejackets. Individuals do not require prior experience, as a steersperson and training are provided before the scheduled race day. Participants simply need the desire to enjoy a friendly, team building athletic competition! For more information on the event and how to register please visit chqdragonrace.org or facebook. com/chqdragonrace.

The 2016-17 winter season has been one of many, MANY weather cycles, but overall it has been a good season for skiing and snowboarding at Holiday Valley… so far. Over 190 inches of snow has fallen since the beginning of the season and the snowmakers have made over 1,220 acre feet of snow this season. (laymen’s translation: Holiday Valley’s 230 acres of snowmaking slopes have been covered by over 5.5 feet of snow!) It is unusual to make snow in March, but Holiday Valley has fired up the automated snowmaking system to take advantage of the cold temperatures.

Winter is back and the skiers and snowboarders are loving it! Holiday Valley plans to stay open through April 9th, with several fun events planned including Winter Carnival

on March 11 and 12 and Pond Skimming on March 18. Holiday Valley Webcams: http://www.holidayvalley.com/explore/webcams/

A 'SUPER' TIME FOR SPORT MANAGEMENT STUDENTS AT SUPERBOWL LI, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 24 Students and chaperones were assigned to either wayfinding duties or greeting fans. Wayfinders help fans and celebrities find their seats, broadcast venues or sponsored pre-game parties, while greeters actually work the parties. Stepf Sosnowski, a lucky member of the Fredonia contingent, was stationed at the Patriots pre-game party and rubbed elbows with former players and celebrities. Two classmates, Kristin Swan and Josh Crocetti, were on-site inside the stadium. Hite was assigned to the Champions Party, where Lady Antebellum and O.A.R. played for fans from both teams. “Everyone was responsible for improving the fan experience,” Hite said. Several students proclaimed their four days spent in Houston, which also included plenty of sight-seeing, to be an “experience of a lifetime.” But it’s also one that Hite says gets better and better each year. “Every year when we return, I feel nothing will top what we just experienced, but somehow it gets more enjoyable as our assignments get more advanced and involved,” Hite explained. “I never thought we would top our New Orleans trip; the highlight was being

assigned to the Direct TV Celebrity Flag-Football game on Saturday.” That job required students to “handle” celebrities who would be playing in the flagfootball game. “We were assigned to Chris Collingworth, Li’l Wayne, Lolo Jones, Hannah Davis, Neil Patrick Harris and Chrissy Teigen, to name a few. Additionally, the Manning family, including Eli, Peyton and Archie, walked our red carpet as did Mark Cuban and Dan Patrick. It was very exciting!” A year ago, the Fredonia contingent enjoyed all San Francisco had to offer, but this year students were able to be inside the Super Bowl stadium. They savored the Super Bowl experience along with over 70,000 fans. “We had several students who made the trip for the second straight year, and I am sure we will have repeaters next year when we head to Minneapolis,” Hite added. Fredonia students were also volunteers at Super Bowls held in New Orleans and Santa Clara. Word about the Fredonia-Super Bowl connection is getting around, notably among prospective students.

“I’ve actually asked freshman Sport Management students why they chose Fredonia, and a few have mentioned that they heard about the trip during Open House presentations and decided to attend,” said Jason Becker, Sport Management Club advisor. “It’s a great educational experience that has become a great recruitment tool as well. I’ve enjoyed the trip and I know the students have gained such a strong perspective of game and pre-game operations,” Mr. Becker noted.
