Keeping The Faith
Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org
Dear Pastor, it seems that my prayers don't get answered. What am I doing wrong? Last week we saw that not praying in God’s will would hinder your prayers. The Bible says that all of God's promises are contained in His Word. That means that we must base our prayers on these promises if we want answers. We also saw that God wants us to "remind" Him of His promises ( John 14:26). This week we'll continue our discussion on the importance of faith in getting our prayers answered.
In the Book of Mark 11:24, Jesus said,"…Whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them." In this scripture Jesus tells us that answered prayed requires more than just desire…it requires belief. While you may have a legitimate prayer which you based on God's Word, God cannot answer it if you don't believe that He will! The Bible says that faith actually brings those things hoped for (prayed for) into reality (Hebrews 11:1). Faith knows, beyond a doubt, that God will do what He says…regardless of the natural circumstances. Hebrews 11:6 says that, "Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." Faith is simply trusting God to do what He says He will. While this may sound simple…it can be a challenge. While faith pleases God, it doesn't please the devil! When you take a faith stand in a specific area of your life, Satan will often throw everything contrary to your

stand to get you to doubt God and His promises. Although these things may come at you, it is important that you resist speaking against your own prayers. Watch what you say! For example, if you are praying for a better marriage, you must be careful not to speak bad things about your spouse, no matter how tempting. Asking God to bless your marriage and then complaining about it isn't the God-kind of faith. In Mark 11:22, Jesus says, "Have the faith of God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast in to the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will come to pass, he will have whatever he says." Next week…more on prayer.

Contributed Article Silver Creek Hanover Garden Club
P S The Silver Creek Hanover Garden Club (SCHGC) is excited to announce a new l garden recognition program – Spruce Up Silver Creek! The program is a part of 2 Silver Creek Hanover Garden Club’s ongoing effort to beautify the village and to a promote an interest in gardening. This new program is made possible in part by a w a generous grant from the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation. 2 The program is intended to recognize outstanding front yard gardens that add to a the curb appeal of Silver Creek neighborhoods and encourage all residents to take l part in making our community a more beautiful place by planting gardens. It is A our way to acknowledge the value that these gardens and their caretakers add to fi the village and thank them for their time and effort. 2 How the program works i The approximately 1,100 front yards in the Village of Silver Creek area will be F divided into 4 to 5 individual neighborhoods. Garden club members will be as- d signed to a team consisting of three volunteers, one team for each neighborhood. p P Each team is comprised of a navigator (the driver), a photographer (to take a photo of the property), and a data entry person to document the process (a list of a a properties being recognized). Between Saturday, July15 and Monday, July 31, each team will survey their assigned neighborhood to determine the “norm” for that area. Teams will then decide which front yard gardens they wish to recognize. Each garden being recognized receives a yard sign recognizing their outstanding garden, a year’s membership in the SCHGC, and a chance to be entered in a drawing for either a $100 or $50 gift certificate from Yerico’s Nursery. The gift certificate drawing will take place, and winners will be announced at the 50th annual Festival of C Grapes in September. 2 Garden Criteria Evaluation teams will canvass neighborhoods within the Village of Silver Creek. T At a minimum, canvassers are looking for front yard gardens that: R • Have healthy plants with a garden that is appropriate to the house and lot n size M • Yard well maintained and actively managed (i.e. garden beds weeded/ A mulched) m • Healthy lawn that is neatly mowed B 1 • Shrubs and trees pruned and trimmed P • Edging is a plus a • House numbers should be clearly displayed f It’s not too late to plant a garden and help us beautify our village!

Volunteers Needed for Audubon Water Chestnut Pull on Saturday Morning, June 24 Contributed Article Audubon Community Nature Center
Much of Audubon Community Nature Center’s 600acre wetland preserve is covered by a series of ponds, making it dangerously vulnerable to what has become the annual arrival of the European Water Chestnut. Accidentally released into waters of the Northeast in the late 1800s, this invasive species is native to Europe, Asia and Africa, where it has natural predators. A different species from the edible water chestnut, this plant is capable of spreading rapidly. It forms a thick layer on top of ponds, lakes and streams, blocking sunlight from other plants and animals and making boating, fishing, and other water recreation very difficult. Since 2013 Audubon has worked hard every summer to control its infestation and prevent it from spreading to other waterways in the region, including Conewango Creek and Chautauqua Lake. Audubon Water Chestnut Coordinator Julie Gibson and Invasive Species Management Assistants Tiffany Donaldson and MaryAnn Mason have begun tackling this year’s invaders. However, successful elimination of Water Chestnut requires the efforts of many volunteers to get into the water in chest waders, or work from rowboats, kayaks, or canoes to pull the plant up by hand. A large group effort to manually remove these plants from Audubon’s waterways is planned for Saturday, June 24. All volunteers need to be at least 16 years old, and minors need to be accompanied by an adult. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m., with pulling from 9 a.m. to noon. Lunch will be served at 12:30, with a report of success to follow. Water and snacks will be available throughout the morning, and Audubon will supply gloves, sun block, bug spray, and first aid. Service clubs, church groups, Scouts, and families are invited to volunteer together.
The European Water Chestnut is an invasive species that can cover a water body so densely it chokes out other plants and animal life. The Audubon Community Nature Center is calling for volunteers and equipment for the first group attack on this plant on Saturday morning, June 24. Pictured here, volunteers work in waders and kayaks against a previous invasion.
Walk-ins are welcome, but reservations are appreciated, especially if you plan to stay for lunch. You can R.S.V.P. to Julie Gibson at waterchestnut@auduboncnc.org by Thursday, June 22, 2017, and include the number of people coming with your group and whether you can bring a kayak, canoe, or waders. Audubon Community Nature Center is located at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route
62 between Jamestown, New York, and Warren, Pennsylvania. To learn more, call (716) 569-2345 or visit auduboncnc.org. Audubon Community Nature Center builds and nurtures connections between people and nature by providing positive outdoor experiences, opportunities to learn about and understand the natural world, and knowledge to act in environmentally responsible ways.

The perfectionist is probably answer is nobody. good for all of us. The suggested steps on Primer. It’s one of those the can of paint that necessary things that I you buy may sometimes have had somewhat of sound extreme, but you a love-hate relationship By Katy Wise
with for some time. It’s messy and a little tedious. Especially if you end up painting a room 3 times… But you can’t argue with the results. Priming a wall prior to paint can make all the color difference in the world. Just think about using painting on paper. If you already had one color on your white piece of paper, your new paint color is going to take on the shade of whatever is behind it. The other option, with a blank canvas, or white piece of paper, means that you just get the pure color that you picked out. Same for walls. Imagine primer as a way to start over with a blank canvas. Keep reminding yourself of that while you’re painting your wall multiple
times. That’s what I do. If you don’t like the color, you’re that much closer to having to repaint your wall in the near future. Again, nobody wants that. At least I don’t. Maybe you like painting the same wall again and again. I have been doing much painting lately. Not all at our house, because I would have run out of rooms by now. This also means that I have been doing lots of paint prepping and paint cleanup. Even more paint cleanup when your three-yearold spills half of a can of paint, but I suppose that’s another anecdote for another day. Here I have for you, Exhibit A. On the left-hand side,
there is one coat of paint on top of one coat of primer. Next to that is one coat of paint without primer. Wow. Right? Look at the color difference. Now if I had done two coats of paint on the entirety of the wall, it would have covered. However, the paint would take on that green tint from the former paint color and the whole room would have had a different, slightly muddied, look to it. Not to mention, primer is far less expensive than paint. One coat of primer plus one coat of paint is far more reasonable (plus better looking!) than multiple coats of paint. So there you have it.
Primer, at least in most cases, is essential to a great finish. Are there exceptions? Sure. When we moved into our house, almost all of our walls had been painted a very faint yellow or cream in a flat finish. Something like that is incredibly easy to coverup with a darker or more saturated color. Most people do not encounter that when it’s time to paint though. In comes the primer! Primer is how you can easily go from colors like bright green to happy yellow without any strange background interference. Well, that’s all the paint talk for this week. As always, thank you for reading, and happy painting!

Achievements Recognized at Mental Health Association Luncheon Contributed Article MHA
C
The Mental Health Association in Chautauqua County (MHA) is a peer-run or- D ganization offering support services to people with substance abuse and all other forms of mental health diagnosis. T Because celebrating positive milestones has been shown to increase long-term re- m covery, the MHA holds regular Recovery Luncheons to help provide this positive ( reinforcement to those in addiction and mental health recovery. a At the luncheon on June 1, Executive Director Kia Briggs thanked everyone for v making the MHA the accepting place that it is. Associate Director Steven Cobb announced the names of those who received awards for their recent recovery achievements. Seven people were recognized for recovery milestones, nine advanced stages in the Jamestown Treatment Court program, and four graduated from Treatment Court. Cobb also recognized Joseph Vaughn, who is coordinating “Monday Night Open Mics at the MHA” that are every Monday at 7 p.m. The first Monday of the month is a Sing-Along, second is Family Comedy, third is Open Poetry, fourth Live Music, and when there are five Mondays, the last is Wildcard Monday. In introducing Charlie Hodges of United Christian Advocacy Network (UCAN) Cobb noted that it is because of UCAN that the Recovery Luncheons are possible. Hodges said that many churches in the community support UCAN. He wanted participants to know that they have a whole community behind them and that everything they need can and will be provided: “We’re here for you.” The UCAN City Mission on First Street is now open as a Crisis Center and Shelter for men. Ian Eastman, MHA board member and Syringe Exchange Program Coordinator for Evergreen Health, reminded that it is dangerous to dispose of syringes improperly, as needle stick injuries may result and blood borne viruses like HIV and Hepatitis C can remain alive in the barrel for weeks. The Exchange provides free disposal of sharps for community members between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on weekdays. Used sharps can be placed in a plastic puncture-proof container, like an empty soda bottle or laundry detergent container. People may call (716) 5410678 with any questions. CONTINUED ON PAGE 13

Vaccinations will be provided free of charge to all dogs, cats and domesticated ferrets three months of age and older. All pets must be on a leash or in a cage and pet owners should bring rabies vaccination records for each animal that will be receiving a shot to ensure proper and effective vaccination. New York State Public Health Law requires each dog, cat and domesticated ferret over the age of four months be vaccinated against rabies and county residents are encouraged to be responsible pet owners by having their pets vaccinated. Rabies is a very serious disease of warm-blooded animals caused by a virus. Raccoons, bats, skunks and foxes are the common disease carriers. The virus is transmitted to humans and animals through saliva and it can enter the body from a bite, scratch, scrape or open cut. The rabies virus infects the central nervous system and can cause brain swelling and ultimately death within days of the onset of symptoms. For more information about the clinics and rabies in general, visit www. co.chautauqua.ny.us/243/Environmental-Health or contact the Division of Public Health at (716) 753-4481.

LECOM Tickets: A Great Gift for Dad or Grad! 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 When you’re seeking the perfect gift this year for Father’s Day or for your favorite graduate, consider giving an experience they’ll remember for a long time: tickets to the LECOM Health Challenge at Peek’n Peak. This four day PGA Web.com event is a spectacular opportunity to enjoy one of our fine local attractions, see some of the country’s finest golfers, and spend quality time outdoors. The LECOM Health Challenge was named the Best New Web.com Tour Event at the PGA Tournament Awards last year, and with good reason! The event saw more than 20,000 spectators in its first year, with more than 90 sponsors and 400 volunteers. Activities included a Junior Clinic and a Pro-Am, with four official rounds of competition, culminating in a four-man playoff for the championship. In addition, the PGA level Upper Course at Peek’n Peak has long been known as an outstanding golf course. Organized locally by the Chautauqua Region Economic Development Corporation, this year’s tournament promises even more great golf, featuring Golf Channel coverage internationally for all four days. Tournament proceeds benefit the LECOM Student Scholarship Fund as well as other charities in Chautauqua County and the greater Erie area. This year, the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce is honored to be participating in a variety of ways. We are selling tickets for the LECOM Health Challenge through our offices in both Jamestown and Dunkirk, with proceeds to benefit the wide variety of programs offered by the countywide and community Chambers to support our local business communities and our Dream It Do It educational and workforce development projects. Tickets are just $10 for a single day pass or $25 for the week-long general admission pass. For more information, call the Chamber at 484-1101 or 366-6200, or buy tickets online at www.chautauquachamber.org/events. Updated Brochures Requested The Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce is pleased and proud to help serve visitors and prospective visitors to our region by providing tourism information as requested.

Roselle Murrell Sworn In as 45th Postmaster of Buffalo FIRST WOMAN BUFFALO POSTMASTER Contributed Article USPS
Roselle L. Murrell was sworn in as the 45th Buffalo Postmaster today in front of friends, family and colleagues at the old Buffalo Post Office, now Erie Community College City Campus. She is the first woman to serve in the position. Murrell began her career in Medina as a clerk in 1996. She has served as Buffalo supervisor customer services, Postmasters of Darien Center, Middleport, Tonawanda and Lockport Post Offices and most recently, as the manager of Marketing for the Western NY District. She has also held temporary assignments as the manager of Operation Program Support, and as senior manager distribution operations at the Rochester Processing & Distribution Center. Roselle is a graduate of USPS Management Leadership Program and a certified Green Belt in Lean Six Sigma. Acting District Manager Monica Nevins performed the swearing in

ceremony. In her speech, Nevins noted Roselle brings a depth of expertise and knowledge to this position and will infuse her focus, enthusiasm and resolve for the benefit of customers, employees and the United States Postal Service Murrell thanked her family, friends and the many postal mentors that believed in her capabilities and assisted her to greater challenges. She discussed the venue selection for the installation – the old Post Office – as a way to honor the past. “It’s great to look back in time to see where we have been,” Murrell said. “It’s also exciting to look forward in time to chart where we are going. The
city of Buffalo, like the Postal Service, is moving forward on a vibrant and exciting path. I feel fortunate to be a part of both evolutions!” The Buffalo Postmaster is responsible for delivery to approximately 270,000 business and residential addresses, retail service to nearly 1.3 million yearly Buffalo Post Office visitors and oversight of 650 employees. In 2016, the Buffalo stations and branches generated over $147 million in postal revenues. The Postal Service does not receive tax dollars for operating expenses; it relies entirely on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.

Financial Tips for Grads Considering Their First Job Contributed Article NewsUSA
Perhaps the best financial advice for newly minted college grads? At least eight factors -not just salary -- should be considered before deciding which job offer to accept. Will your prospective boss match your 401(k) plan contributions, for example?
And what about if you're considering relocating? Just because some firm in Arlington, Virginia -- rated the best city for recent grads in one survey -- is dangling a higher paycheck than one elsewhere, doesn't necessarily make it right for you, given the Washington, D.C., suburb's high cost of living.  A new online Job Offer Evaluator tool from Fidelity Investments, which considers all factors, can help calculate the right decision for you.
Are You Still on Track to Achieve Your 2017 Resolutions? Contributed Article StatePoint
With 2017 about halfway over, it’s an ideal time to evaluate your goals and objectives, and take action if necessary to get back on track. July 1 is “Second Half of the Year Day,” and a good opportunity to do some hard thinking about the aspects of your life that you might want to improve or change. To make the second half of the year count, consider tackling one or more of the following projects. Meet Financial Benchmarks Everyone could use more money. While you may not currently have the option of making more, you do have a choice of how you spend and save what you are earning. Renew your financial goals by clarifying exactly what they are and drawing a road map towards achieving success. You may find more luck if you set one smaller financial goal alongside your larger objectives. So, while you’re paying down debt or saving for retirement, also work on your vacation fund. Make More Music Did you resolve to learn a new skill, such as playing a musical instrument? Many people vow to learn how to play a piano in the new year. Whether you’re brand-new to the instrument or you’ve been playing for years, keep up with your practice by setting a challenging musical goal to fulfill by the end of the year. Beginners can set out to perfect a particular piece. Those with a bit more experience can set a goal of performing publicly or of composing and recording a song. Don’t forget to stay properly motivated with the right gear. The weight and resistance of a grand piano can now be had with a versatile digital piano, such as the Compact Grand Piano CGP-700 from Casio – that features an 88-note scaled hammer action keyboard, and a 5.3” color touchscreen that makes it easy to navigate in the selection of tones, rhythms and split and layer sounds. Go Farther, Faster Many resolve to take up exercise at the beginning of the year, only to let their gym memberships go to waste a short time later. Recommit to your exercise goals by signing up for a specific challenge that will encourage you to train. A simple 5k is a great choice for beginners. For those who want something a bit more advanced that requires more versatile training, consider a triathlon or obstacle race. Be sure to pick a date for the event far enough in advance to give you plenty of time to train. And remember, race day isn’t the end of your journey, but just the beginning. After a sufficient recovery period, you will want to be sure to start working towards your next goal. Don’t let the passage of time leave you complacent about your goals. Keep them within reach by revisiting them all the time.

How to Stay Hydrated Like a Pro All Summer Contributed Article NewsUSA
Many of us spend our summer soaking up the sun. Kids are out of school, outdoor sports are plenty, and people are enjoying warm weather activities. However, spending a lot of time outside in the elements puts you at risk for dehydration-related concerns. While most people know that water is critical for your health, what you may not know is that water makes up about 55 to 65 percent of your body. Many may be surprised to know that losing only four percent of your body weight -- roughly the equivalent of riding a bike for three hours in extreme heat without rehydrating -- may cause you to faint.1 The following simple tips from Dr. Ralph Holsworth, a board-certified family medicine physician and head of clinical and scientific research for Essentia Water, will help you stay well hydrated this summer: • Sip with purpose; don't chug. When you drink too much water at once, it passes through your system too quickly, failing to go to the kidneys. This can lead to dehydration despite the amount of water you may be drinking. Drinking too much water can also cause cramping, as well as bloating and stomach pains, due to loss of electrolytes. Aim to take a sip of water every 15-20 minutes when you're playing sports or when it's hot outside and you should be right on track. • Aim to drink 3 liters a day. The age-old 8-glasses-a-day rule doesn't always suffice in the hot summer months. People should try to drink 12 glasses a day, especially if they are planning on working out, playing sports or spending excessive amounts of time in the sun. A good trick to know if you're drinking enough water is to keep your urine the color of straw (or transparent yellow). • Bring water with you. Spending more time out of the house often means less easy access to water. When you leave for a day at the beach, make sure you throw enough bottles of water in
your beach bag to last throughout the day. Keeping a case of water in your car is another way to ensure you'll always have water on hand. • Limit sun exposure. Not shielding yourself properly in the sun causes you to sweat more, which can lead to quicker dehydration. Wearing cotton clothes that are breathable in the heat and a hat that covers your ears will help protect you from potentially dangerous health issues such as heat exhaustion. Whether you're an athlete, a weekend warrior or just want to take better care of yourself, staying hydrated is essential to a healthy body, especially during the hot summer months. John Ross III2, wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals, knows a thing or two about the importance of staying hydrated, especially during
the summer heat. "I push my body to the max every day and sometimes it can get into the 90s during practice," says the recent first-round pick in this year's NFL draft. "If I'm planning to exercise outside in the heat, I always prioritize two things -- sleep and staying hydrated. I always get at least 8 hours of sleep and always have a bottle of water by my side." For more information about Essentia Water, visit www.essentiawater.com. 1. Research from Stavros Kavouras, director of the Hydration Science Lab at the University of Arkansas. 2. John Ross III has a paid sponsorship agreement with Essentia.

Nickel City Con Brings People Together By Amy Shake Administrative and Marketing Assistant
It was a crisp, sunny spring day in downtown Buffalo. Captain America (well, Steve Rogers, technically), wielding a musical shield, walked up and down the sidewalk near the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center, greeting other comic book characters and crewmembers of the Starship Enterprise as they waited in a line that wrapped halfway around the block. They were waiting to enter the 2nd Annual Nickel City Con. Comic Book Conventions (typically referred to as “Comic Cons” or just “Cons”) are not only for the geek-hearted anymore. Comic Cons have continued to expand their audiences by incorporating many facets of pop culture into programming. Genres and media such as science fiction, fantasy, comic books and gaming have become more mainstream in recent years, and Cons continue to pop up around the country. There are PotterCons for the wizards at heart (Oh, me? Ravenclaw. Thanks for asking.), Gamer Cons, Anime Cons, even Furry Cons. This year’s Nickel City Con boasted the likes of William Shatner and Billy Dee Williams, but also Joe Montana and Diamond Dallas Page. Tagged as “Buffalo’s Premier Comic & Pop Culture Convention,” Nickel City Con hit all the marks to engage families and friends of all pop culture persuasions. Q&A panels, autograph and photo opportunities, artists, vendors, gaming tables, an escape room, a Cosplay contest, a charity auction, and even a children’s activity room run by the Buffalo & Erie County Pubic Library all shaped an exciting, non-stop environment for children, parents, and grandparents alike. The 1966 Batmobile was available to take photos of (and in!), as were William Shatner and Nichelle Nichols of Star Trek (The Original Series) fame. Billy Dee Williams and Sam Jones were in attendance as well, reminiscent of mom’s and dad’s childhoods. And contemporary favorites such as Noah Schnapp, star of the Netflix Original Series Stranger Things, rounded out the multi-generational attractions.
Note: This is an important quality in an event such as this. Giving families an outlet to share in something that’s meaningful creates a unique bond and an exceptional community. This was my first foray into next-level geekdom, as I only began to appreciate things like Star Trek and comic books as an adult. I wish they had been with me during childhood, though, because the qualities the characters portray, the missions they risk everything for, the ideals they uphold, are some of the noblest of any literary or pop culture characters. They are empowering and they signify hope. As a very shy child, I really could have used those influences. The presence of Star Trek stars William Shatner (Captain Kirk) and Nichelle Nichols (Lieutenant Uhura) was what drew me in, and was probably one of the biggest draws to this year’s Nickel City Con. Trekkies of all ages flocked to see them speak in panels, have photos taken with them, and get an autograph. One girl actually dragged an original Captain’s Chair to the second floor to have it signed by Captain Kirk himself. The dedication was almost unreal. Mariami Bekauri, a graduate student at SUNY Fredonia, was there to meet the two Trek stars as well. A lifelong fan of Star Trek in all its iterations, it’s the Original Series that she holds near and dear to her heart. “In a time when the Civil Rights Movement and the Cold War were tearing apart our world, Star Trek embodied the ideals of growth, progression, and a common humanity. It held a hope that in the future we could all come together for the greater good,” said Bekauri of the Original Series. She went on to say, “In particular, Nichelle Nichols radiates a kindness and confidence that only Uhura could.” Communications officer Lieutenant Uhura as portrayed by Nichols was monumental during Star Trek’s 3-season run from 1966-1969, because it was the first time a woman of color played an educated, empowered character on television. This has resonated with generations of Trek fans, and the significance of that is not lost on Nichols. When asked what it was like to be a minority on the Enterprise crew, and to play a more minor role, Nichols proclaimed, “No such thing as
Mariami Bekauri, dressed as an operations and engineering officer, poses with Nichelle Nichols
minorities, first of all. And Uhura was not minor, she told those guys what to do.” The audience erupted with cheers and applause. These ideals - inclusiveness, equality, humanity - are found beyond Star Trek as well; in some cases beyond our galaxy, and in other cases within our own history. For Myriah Marsh, a fan of Arthurian legend and medieval fantasy, there is much to glean from fantasy literature. “I frequently turn to Tolkien, the Harry Potter series, and T.H. White’s ‘Once and Future King’ when confronted with the horrors of our reality; with social injustice, and war and terror. While these stories are fantastical fiction, they are rooted in human nature — a universal desire for understanding and peace.”
Yes. That. At Nickel City Con, it was amazing to see the confidence of people in costume, and the way they used it to connect to other people. It was heartwarming to watch three generations of family members enjoy their time meeting shared idols and generally having fun together. And it was extraordinary to easily make conversation with strangers while waiting in line, or see them take pictures together if they liked a costume or made a connection. In a society torn apart by injustice and political turmoil, it seems that maybe we could all use a little more nerd culture in our lives.

Opera House Cinema Series to Screen “Their Finest” Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House
The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is “Their Finest.” It will be screened on Sat., June 17, and Tues., June 20, at 7:30 p.m. It’s 1940, London, during the Blitz; with the country’s morale at stake, Catrin (Gemma Arterton), an untried screenwriter, and a makeshift cast and crew, work under fire to make a film to lift the nation’s flagging spirits; and inspire America to join the war. Partnered alongside fellow screenwriter, Buckley (Sam Claflin) and eccentric actor Ambrose Hilliard (Bill Nighy), the trio set off to make a film designed to warm the hearts of the nation and capture the imagination of the American population. Based on Lissa Evans’ novel, “Their Finest Hour and a Half,” the movie is a witty, romantic and moving portrayal of a young woman finding her way, and her voice, in the mayhem of war…and the movies! Joe Morgenstern, in the Wall Street Journal, calls the film “one of the smartest, funniest and most surprising movies I’ve seen in years.” Peter Hartlaub, in the San Francisco Chronicle, calls it “a charming and thoughtful movie, about people making a charming and thoughtful movie.” Lindsey Bahr, in the Associated Press, calls it “Inspiring, funny and genuinely romantic, a solid, refreshing crowd-pleaser.” Kenneth Turan, in the Los Angeles Times, says “genial and engaging with a fine sense of humor, it makes blending the comic with the serious look simpler than it actually is.” Rated R for some language and a scene of sexuality, “Their Finest” runs one hour, 57 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 screen-
ing. 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 716679-1891. 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.

Spending time enjoying nature is good for the body and mind, helping to reduce stress, increase focus and provide opportunities for physical activity, say studies. Unfortunately, our busy schedules sometimes don’t allow us to get outside as often as PHOTO SOURCE: (c) Galyna Andrushko - Fotolia.com we would like. Great Outdoors Month, celebrated in June, is an excellent opportunity to go on an outdoor adventure. As you make your plans and enact them, consider these tips for making the most of your trip. Get Informed Visiting a new place? Learn more about the area, investigating its natural and social histories before you hit the trail, river route or campsite. You’ll be more likely to identify rock types and plant and animal species with a bit of knowledge. This can also help you understand and appreciate what you are experiencing with greater depth. Use Tech Tools New tech gear is augmenting the outdoor experience for both casual adventurers and hardcore enthusiasts. For example, the Smart Outdoor Watch WSD-F20 from Casio has a rugged build, low power consumption GPS, is water resistant and features dedicated apps for outdoor activities. If downloaded prior to your journey, full color maps can be used offline. And because it offers a range of tools that can be used independent of your smartphone, including an altimeter, barometer, thermometer and compass, it frees up users to fully enjoy their adventures. Other features include a Location Memory app, which enables you to customize maps with markers and text so you can revisit otherwise unmarked spots, such as a great viewpoint or fishing spot. Be Prepared It’s hard to be at one with nature when nature itself is making you miserable. So be prepared for all kinds of weather and climate conditions. If you are camping, patch or replace tents that are worn or torn and bring a tarp for extra protection. Check the weather report for temperature, precipitation and other factors and pack the proper clothing and sleeping bag accordingly. Make sure socks and shoes or hiking boots are in good shape so that long hikes don’t cause you any undue pain. And of course, don’t leave civilization without a first aid kit, water, sunscreen and insect repellent. With a bit of extra preparation, you can take your outdoor adventures higher and farther than ever before.

Golfer's
D i a ry
Three’s Awkward, Four’s A Blast By Contributing Writer Stefan Gestwicki
As long as I’ve been golfing (which isn’t that long in the grand scheme of things – five years), I can probably count on one hand the number of times I’ve actually played with a foursome. It’s just so difficult to get schedules to align. So the fact that I was part of a foursome twice within a three-day span is something of a minor miracle. The first instance was one of the most special rounds of golf I’ve ever played. First a little background information. Both of my grandfathers died during the same calendar year as I was born. I really wish I could have gotten to know both of them, but that wasn’t in the cards. So if you still have a grandfather you can visit or are a grandfather yourself, cherish it. Anyway, my mom often says how much like her father I am even without ever knowing him. He was an avid golfer and a die-hard Pittsburgh Pirates fan – two things that describe me to a tee (Get it? Tee? Eh, why do I bother?). My grandfather actually won the H.K. Williams Tournament at Shorewood in 1966. So while I’ll never have the joy of teeing it up with my grandfather, I got to experience something close to that when my Uncle Eddie (my mom’s brother), joined my brother Mark, my cousin Nick and myself for something of a Beatty family golf outing at Hillview Golf Course in Fredonia. Uncle Ed admitted he hadn’t played in 10 years, but you’d never have guessed from how he swung the clubs, especially the irons. Someone obviously taught him the fundamentals very well. I assume that person was his father (and my aforementioned grandfather in case you’re having trouble with the family tree), but I honestly didn’t ask. As an added bonus to that special group I played with, I actually played extremely well. I put together a score of 42 with five pars. I did miss a birdie putt of about four feet, which was a royal kick in the pants, but birdies are tough and that’s the way it should be. If I made them all the time, I’d actually be good at the crazy game we play. As well as I was doing on the scorecard, I did struggle a bit off the tee. Last year I was yanking everything hard to the left. That tendency started to show up again a little bit for the first time this year. On both Nos. 1 & 2 I yanked my drive low and left. In case you’re wondering, that’s not a good thing. I was able to bail myself out somewhat both times, but it’s hard to score well when you’re punching under trees all the time. I took a picture of the four of us on the green and made a copy for my mom. She wasn’t home when I stopped by, but I’d be willing to bet she cried a little bit when she saw it. And I know my grandfather (and grandma, for that matter) would have been beaming ear to ear if they could have seen us out there. A mere two days later, Mark, Nick and I were joined by a friend of Nick’s, Josh. I didn’t really know him at all, but he was great company and a good golfer. We actually both shot a 43 on the round. He’s just the second lefty I’ve ever played with and both of them were big hitters. It’s either a coincidence or lefties have some kind of inherent advantage off the tee. I’m loving my new shoes, by the way. I got a pair of adidas Tech Response shoes. I’ve used them a few times now and I can really feel the difference. It’s especially noticeable with the irons, for whatever reason. My whole bottom half just feels more stable and I can use my legs more to drive the ball. There are few worse feelings on the golf course than when your back foot slips mid-swing. So if you’re looking for some new golf shoes, you can certainly do worse than these ones (especially for the price – just under $50.). Nick finally ordered some golf shoes from Cassadaga Country Club’s pro shop, so hopefully he’ll have those soon and he’ll know the joy of golf shoes. We have plans to golf 18 holes in the next few days, so be on the lookout for that in the next installment. Until then, golf is great. Go get some.

5K Glow Run Held to Benefit Local Suicide Prevention Efforts GLOW YOUR MIND 5K RUN/WALK TO BE HELD IN JAMESTOWN Contributed Article Chautauqua County Department of Mental Hygiene
On Saturday, July 8, the second annual GLOW Your Mind 5K Run/Walk will take place at 8:30 p.m. at the Northwest Arena in Jamestown. All of the proceeds raised by the event stay local and will be used for suicide prevention efforts in Chautauqua County. The glow run is being put on through the collaboration of The Community Alliance for Suicide Prevention, Chautauqua Tapestry, and Chautauqua County Department of Mental Hygiene. Timing and race management will be provided by Chautauqua Striders. The partnership came out of the groups' common goal to generate awareness that mental wellness and physical wellness are of equal importance in everyone's lives. “Striders is excited to be a community partner of the 5K Glow Run in Jamestown, NY,” said David Reinhardt of Chautauqua Striders. “This fun event is designed for not only the runners, but for families and friends looking for a new fitness opportunity.” The race will begin in front of the Northwest Arena and will follow a mapped out route through Jamestown. Registration and race packet pick-up will be from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. outside the Arena, weather permitting. The run and walk will begin at 8:30 p.m. Registration for the 5K can be done online at https://runsignup.com/ Race/Events/NY/Jamestown/GlowYourMind5KRun. You can also find the registration link and event page through the Glow Your Mind 5K Facebook page. Registration is available for $20 plus a $2.50 sign-up fee for anyone who completes an online registration by July 3. Registration for participants ages 18 and under is $15 plus a $2.50 sign-up fee. The first 100 people registered will get a free tshirt. Awards will be given to the top overall males and females in each age group. "Last year's race was very successful and we knew we had to continue growing the event for this year," said Victoria Patti, Coordinator of The Community Alliance for Suicide Prevention. "The goal is to generate awareness that mental and physical wellness are one in the same while creating awareness for suicide prevention in the area. We are looking forward to another great year and hope to see both returning racers from the past and brand new ones. The course is relatively flat which should make it more accessible to families who would like to walk or run." After the race, an “After Glow” party, managed by Eventz by Scott will be held outside of the Arena on Lafayette Street. The After Glow Party and post-race celebration will begin after the runners and walkers return. The results will be tabulated and the awards presented to the winning racers. Snacks and nonalcoholic beverages will be available with live music by DJ Xcite Sound. Sponsorship opportunities are still available. If your organization is interested in sponsoring the Glow Your Mind 5K, please contact Victoria Patti by June 26. Sponsorship levels range from $100 plus and all sponsors will have their logo on the back of the official race T-shirt if sent in by the June 26 deadline. For more information on the event visit "Glow Your Mind 5K" on Facebook. Businesses or organizations interested in sponsoring the event or anyone who is interested in participating as a volunteer should contact Victoria Patti by phone at (716) 753-4519 or by email at PattiV@co.chautauqua.ny.us .

2018 Honda Accord: More from Less?
Contributed Article Autotrader
The 2018 Honda Accord is about to hit just as regulatory requirements for fuel efficiency are rising and the price of fuel is dropping. And while political agendas are in constant flux, the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards for automakers are currently set to increase by approximately 10 mpg over the next 8 years. Those standards have forced every car company to rethink its drivetrain approach, with many leaning on smaller-displacement engines and turbochargers to balance performance with fuelefficiency needs. Honda's latest drivetrain approach reflects this larger industry trend. The company recently let us experience its next-generation Accord at its R&D center in Japan. The 2018 Honda Accord, debuting as a fully redesigned model later this year, will no longer offer a V6 engine. Instead, it will be powered by either a 1.5or 2.0-liter engine, both of them turbocharged 4-cylinders. The larger 2.0-liter engine will be paired with an all-new 10-speed automatic transmission, though the smaller 1.5-liter engine will stick with the current Accord's continuously variable transmission (CVT). Both will also offer a 6-speed manual transmission. We only drove the 2.0-liter, 10-speed version of the 2018 Accord at Honda's facility, and we're happy to report it lives up to the previous V6 in terms of balance and refinement, while surpassing it with

regard to performance. The engine features a host of advanced technologies to maximize the turbo's power and efficiency. These include an electrically controlled wastegate, an intercooler, a water cooling channel near the upper cylinders and comprehensive weight-reduction efforts. These elements, combined with engine tuning for high torque at low RPM and the new 10-speed transmission, give the 2018 Accord immediate and rapid thrust, even at low speeds with moderate throttle input. With 10 speeds to choose from, the transmission can make the most of the 2.0-liter's torque curve, returning consistent full-throttle acceleration from zero to 80 mph as we circled Honda's test track. Better still is the engine's smooth, refined nature due to the lightweight rotating components and secondary balance shaft. This lets the new Accord maintain its placid demeanor versus the buzzy, high-strung
personality one might expect from such a powerful 4-cylinder. Honda hasn't released horsepower, torque or fuel efficiency numbers for the new Accord yet, but based on our driving experience (and government regulations), we're confident it will meet or beat the current V6 Accord in each area. The real question is: How will fuel economy hold up in real-world driving versus the EPA's test cycle? We've seen other vehicles successfully improve their fuel efficiency EPA ratings with smaller engines and turbochargers, but many of them can't maintain those mpg figures in practical everyday use. If the new 2018 Honda Accord can deliver the acceleration we experienced along with higher mpg in real-world conditions, it will be a powerful player in the highly competitive midsize sedan category.
