Keeping The Faith prayer Let’s begin with the Gospel of John (16:23-24) when Jesus said, “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. (24) Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.” When Jesus said, “in that day,” He was Rev. Michael Lokietek referring to the time after Family Church Fredonia His resurrection when He fcfredonia.org would return to heaven.

answer our prayers. Jesus also said, however, that you must ask Father God, using Jesus’ Name. Please allow me to illustrate it in this way. Most of us use a PIN (personal information number) number to access our financial accounts. Without this number, we can’t access our information or any banking services. According to the Bible, the Name of Jesus is like a PIN that allows God the Father to grant our petitions. The Name of Jesus represents all that Jesus Christ did for us and has made possible through His life, death, and resurrection from the dead. When we use Jesus Name in prayer, we will be able to unlock all the blessings and promises that our Heavenly Father has given us in His Word.

Chautauqua County Counselors Association Awards Scholarships Contributed Article CCCA
The Chautauqua County Counselors Association recently awarded their annual scholarships to Amelia Dolce and Madalyn Bestine. The CCCA Scholarships are presented to outstanding students who will be pursuing a degree in a counseling related field. Amelia Dolce, a senior is the daughter of Tony and Anne Dolce. Amelia plays the cello in the Jamestown High School Concert Orchestra, is a soprano in the A Cappella Choir and Madrigals and plays French horn in the Concert Band. She was selected to play French horn in the Conference All State Symphony Orchestra this past December and was also selected to perform in the Conference All State Symphonic Band during her junior year. Amelia is Co- president of the National Honor Society at Jamestown High School, is the Co- Historian for the Class of 2017 and is a member of Key Club. Amelia has been dancing at the Chautauqua Regional Youth Ballet for the Amelia Dolce past 14 years and has participated as a member of the JHS Cross Country Team for the past 5 years. Amelia plans to attend West Virginia University in the fall, majoring in music therapy. Madalyn Bestine, a 2017 graduate of Clymer Central School, will be attending Slippery Rock University in the fall to study Psychology. She is a member of the National Honor Society, Student Government and SADD. She is on the cross country, track and field, and basketball teams. Outside of school she has been and will continue to be a volunteer at Hand Cycle Bike Camp. Madalyn's positive and giving attitude will certainly be missed as she moves on to higher education. The mission of the Chautauqua County Counselors Madalyn Bestine Association is to advance the welfare and interests of our area students and to improve and to offer professional development for our members.

Expectant and young families are invited to four Healthy Baby Festivals planned for three counties during July and August by Catholic Charities Women, Infants and Children (WIC) nutrition program. The free events offer activities for children and information for parents and run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at sites in Buffalo, Dunkirk, Jamestown and Niagara Falls. Festival dates and locations are: Dunkirk in Washington Park on July 25; Buffalo in Delaware Park corner of Colvin Avenue and Amherst Street, July 28; Niagara Falls in Hyde Park at the splash pad, Aug. 2; and Jamestown in Allen Park’s large pavilion near West Virginia Avenue, Aug 4.

At the Buffalo and Niagara Falls’ events, the Salad Bar food truck sponsored by Independent Health will be on site with healthy food options for sale. Catholic Charities WIC hosts the events in celebration of World Breastfeeding Week (Aug. 1-7), to raise awareness about the significance and benefits that breastfeeding provides. The Healthy Baby Festivals will be supported by more than 50 local community agencies across the three counties, offering resources and activities. All are encouraged to attend, especially expectant mothers, families and caregivers. Anyone interested in learning more about breastfeeding or in support of the importance of a healthy start for babies is welcome. “Our Catholic Charities WIC Healthy Baby Festivals are great examples of our communities coming together to learn about the importance of breastfeeding for the long-term health of both
baby and mother,” said Katie Constantino, Catholic Charities WIC Breastfeeding Coordinator. The events received support from the annual Catholic Charities Appeal. The Buffalo event is sponsored in part by the Buffalo Prenatal-Perinatal Network, and the Dunkirk festival is sponsored by Brooks Memorial Hospital and Lake Erie Medical Services. No registration is required. For more information, call (716) 218-1484 ext. 2411, or go to ccwny.org/calendar. Catholic Charities administers WIC in Chautauqua, Erie and Niagara counties.

Brooks and Lake Shore Hospital into Kaleida. This $17 million is the final piece to make sure the project happened. Rural hospitals like these provide vital services to often underserved communities that are typically older and have more chronic conditions. In addition, the potential loss of mental/behavioral health services and chemical dependency treatment programs, for example, would have also created a huge gap in services in Western New York. The loss of quality health care coupled with the loss of jobs would have been devastating. I am very pleased that we were successful in saving these crucial facilities and am confident that the transition will be smooth and our residents will be well served going forward.” Currently, in Chautauqua County, the primary care physician to patient ratio is 2,043 doctors to every patient. This is in stark contrast to the state average of 1,222 to 1 and the national average of 1,067 to 1. Rural areas typically experience a lack of physicians. That’s why the loss of Lake Shore and its physicians creates an even greater crisis in the access to care in our region. Hospitals and healthcare organizations in rural Allegany, Cattaraugus, and Chautauqua Counties employ more than 14,000 people with an annual payroll of $4 million and annual revenues of $9.5 million.

MHA
With CPR training, you don’t have to be a trained clinician to assist someone who’s had a heart attack until the medical professional arrives. Now you can get training in how to help a person experiencing a mental health crisis -- such as contemplating suicide – until appropriate professional help arrives. The Mental Health Association in Chautauqua County (MHA) has three certified trainers of Mental Health First Aid. This eight-hour course can give you the skills to help someone who is developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. It teaches you how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance abuse disorders in your community. With one in five American adults having a mental illness and one in ten fulltime employees having an addiction, employers may be especially interested in this training. It can also be very valuable for first responders. Mental Health First Aiders learn a single five-step strategy that includes assessing risk, respectfully listening to and supporting the individual in crisis, and identifying appropriate professional help and other supports. Role playing makes it easier to apply these skills in a real-life situation. Participants are introduced to risk factors and warning signs for mental health or substance use problems, engage in activities that build understanding of the impact of illness on individuals and families, and learn about evidence-supported treatment and self-help strategies. To learn more about Mental Health First Aid training, visit mentalhealthfirstaid.org. For more information about participating in Mental Health First Aid training through a certified trainer at the MHA, call (716) 661-9044 or visit mhachautauqua.org.

Back-to-School Tips for Upgrading Students’ Devices Contributed Article StatePoint
Back-to-school season is a popular time to replace tablets, smartphones and other mobile devices. However, while you’re busy paying for books, student fees and other education-related expenses, tech costs don’t have to be a burden. Today, refurbished devices and accessories can provide a quality, reliable alternative at often less than half of what it costs to buy a new device. Indeed, more consumers are coming to that conclusion. Demand for used smartphones is forecast to grow considerably, according to several industry analyst reports. While there’s a lingering belief among many consumers that refurbished devices are those that were broken or have had problems, the truth is that many refurbished devices come from trade-in and upgrade programs. Through these programs, owners trade in a perfectly good device so that they can get a newer model. Whether traded in or repaired, if you do consider purchasing a refurbished device, check out reliable sources such as MyWit.com, where all devices undergo an extensive 65-point inspection of cosmetics and performance to ensure full functionality. These tests verify that every possible function -- camera, audio, SIM, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc. -- is in excellent working order, and only devices that score 100 percent on these tests are made available to purchase. What’s more, purchasing refurbished devices is an eco-friendly alternative, keeping used devices from ending up in a landfill and reducing the demand for new devices. Whether you are purchasing a device as a gift or for yourself, this back-to-school season, consider upgrading devices in a smart way that’s affordable and sustainable.

Thousands of people, many of whom have never visited our area before, came to watch this Web.com Tour event at Peek’n Peak, while hundreds of thousands more around the world watched live coverage on the Golf Channel, literally putting us in the living rooms of golf fans worldwide. During our conversations with people at the Explore Chautauqua County tent, in conjunction with the Chautauqua County Visitors Bureau and the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation, we provided insights and information to new and returning visitors, and even to residents who may have never visited some of the tremendous attractions right here in our own backyard. We proudly directed people, including the staff with the Golf Channel and many of the golfers and their families, to Bemus Point, Chautauqua Institution, Dunkirk, Fredonia, Jamestown, Sunset Bay, Westfield and numerous other points of interest. We showed them how to find restaurants, fishing areas, shopping, entertainment, and places to stay when they return for longer stays. That includes staff with the Golf Channel and many of the golfers and their families. One of our great local companies, Jamestown Mattress, was presented the first ever Small Business of the Tournament award by Web.com. Company president Jim Pullan Jr. accepted the award from sponsorships manager Hannah Hawkins. LECOM Health Challenge is an important event to our region bringing people and dollars into our economy and promoting Chautauqua County on the national and international stage. Again, thank you and congratulations to those who made for another great year of PGA golf in Chautauqua County.

Vets Can Make A Difference Through Volunteer Firefighting Contributed Article NewsUSA
Patriotism is in the air during the summer months. It starts with Memorial Day and flows into July 4th. But it's not just about fireworks, cookouts and parades. The heart of patriotism is helping others, and like our veterans, volunteer firefighters, EMS personnel and rescue workers are all about helping those in need. In fact, for veterans looking for new ways to give back, becoming a volunteer firefighter can be a great choice to serve their communities. According to the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC), the leading nonprofit membership association representing the interests of the volunteer fire, EMS and rescue services, volunteer firefighters enjoy many of the same benefits veterans found in the military. These include a sense of accomplishment, achievement and pride in the work they do. Volunteers get to learn

To lend some perspective: • Volunteers comprise 70 percent of firefighters in the United States. • The majority of fire departments in the United States are volunteer. Small, rural communities especially rely on volunteers to provide an array of services and protection. • The time donated by volunteer firefighters saves localities across the country an estimated $139.8 billion per year. For many communities, switching to an all-career model is not feasible. Volunteer firefighters come from all backgrounds and professions, and encompass all ages, genders, races, and ethnicities.

Golfer's
D i a ry
It’s All In The Hips By Contributing Writer Stefan Gestwicki
If you didn’t read the title of this article in the voice of Chubbs Peterson, go out and watch Happy Gilmore right now. I’ll wait. That was great, wasn’t it? Now let’s talk some golf. I only got a chance to play once over the past week, but it was an extremely enjoyable 18-hole round at Hillview Golf Course in Fredonia with Nick. The rains had been relentless in the days prior, but the course bounced back nicely. There were several mowers out on the fairways while we played, but all of them were considerate when we approached. In fact, the course was in even better condition on the “back 9” as the grounds crew did some nice work as we played the front half. The greens were a bit slow, but I’d bet my house that they finished mowing them by the end of the day. The round started off as most of them do…ominously. My drive was great, but a duffed second shot and a lousy pushed approach shot put me in bad shape. A chip and two putts later and I had a double-bogey. Nick’s start was significantly worse as he couldn’t seem to get out of his own way. A snowman on the scorecard didn’t do him any favors. When I parred No. 2, I figured my troubles were behind me, but another double-bogey on No. 3 kept the frustration coming. Of course, I then parred the next three holes and all was well in the world again. I’d like to take the chance to thank the foursome in front of us for letting so many people play through. It can be just as frustrating actually being the slow group as it is playing behind one, but this group let several others play through with a smile on their face. It appeared to be a grandfather, son and grandsons, too. That’s pretty cool that they’re able to do that together. When I played my last round before this one, it was with my very first elementary school friend, Chris. Loyal readers might recall that we hadn’t seen each other in years and years, but golf brought us together. Anyway, he pointed out (as many, many people have with my swing) that I was hitting off my back foot. Now, I knew that I do this, but I finally decided to fix it instead of adjusting to it. I really tried to get my hips through the ball. The result? Adding about 25 yards to my drive while eliminating the gentle fade that was always on my drives. Yes, please. This round continued that trend as I was simply crushing the ball off the tee. There are certain “landmarks” that you get used to when you play the same course a lot. For instance, I always know my drive is going to be around the white stake on No. 4 or just about to the hill on No. 2. But for the last two rounds, I’ve been going significantly further on every hole. I’ve been nearly to the red stake on No. 4 and past the last trees on the right on No. 2. And if anything, it’s been wet and I haven’t been getting roll, so it’s been all about the swing change. In no way am I saying it’s been a perfect change. I’ve toed a couple of drives badly when my arms didn’t catch up to the rest of my body on a swing. And once during this round I got way out in front and pulled the ball on the ground to the left. But all in all, I’m thrilled with the results. I’ve written about this in the past, but it bears repeating: I love playing 18 holes on a 9-hole course. The second half is a direct competition with yourself. Nick and I were keeping track of how far ahead/behind we were from our previous scores. I ended up shooting a 42-41-83, but both rounds were very different in which holes I did well on. He improved by a massive six strokes to shoot a 5347-100. He flubbed one chip on the final hole, which cost him breaking 100. He took it in stride, though. You would too if you improved that much from round to round. Saturday is my birthday and I’ve already got an 18-hole foursome lined up (for Sunday thanks to work, but still). I’ll be writing about that one, for sure. Until then, golf is great. Go get some.

Victory Abounds FREDONIA LITTLE LEAGUE SOFTBALL TEAMS COMPETE AT STATES Star Special Feature
The Fredonia Little League Softball teams have surpassed some incredible feats for the 2017 season. We spoke with Team Managers Ed Schrantz and Scott Vandette, who shared some insight into their teams. Scrantz’s team, the 11-12 year olds in the Majors, competed in Fishkill two weeks ago in the State Tournament. Eight teams statewide competed in two pools. Fredonia made it to the semi-finals, where after a tough final game they lost to the team from North Shore, Long Island. It was a bittersweet time for Schrantz, as this was his last year coaching the group after being with the girls for four years. But, the team had an outstanding run and gave North Shore, who went on to be the state champs, a run for their money. Read more about their adventure to states further down in this article. Vandette, who coaches the 8-10 year olds, works with assistant coaches Chris Bird, Kevin Lucas and Greg Holt. Their team advanced to, and won, the sectional championships and, as of writing this article, is set to play for the state championships. Star: Tell us about this season and the potential to head to states. Vandette: It’s very exciting. We’ve got 12 on the team, all eight to ten years old. We’re so confident in the girls and their abilities. They’ve worked so hard, and have dedicated so much time. They’ve been practicing since January, and now It’s July; they’re really seeing the fruits of their labor. We’re proud to be involved. It’s an honor to work with these girls. The team has had a great deal

of success because of the coaches putting their whole heart into. We wouldn’t have such a great team if these coaches weren’t coming out here and working, and the team is very appreciative of their work. Star: Explain to our readers a little bit about the league they’re in, and what’s next? Vandette: Our teams are the New York State Little League All Stars for Softball, from district 38. We have won districts, we have won sectionals (section 1 west) and now onto states. Typically it ends there for our age group, which would be an incredible thing. But for the older girls, they’d go onto regionals, and then eventually the Little League World Series. Star: How long have you been coaching? Vandette: I’ve coached softball and baseball since 1990. I’ve been coaching the core group of these girls for about five years now. We also have a travel team called ‘Diamond Queens,’ which placed second in the Metro Softball League this year. Major Champions Contributed Article The 11-12 year old Major
Softball All Star team from Fredonia Little League competed earlier this month, July 12-15, at the New York State Tournament in Fishkill New York. Eight teams from across the state competed in two separate four team pools with the top two teams from each pool playing in the semifinals. Fredonia was grouped with Baldwinsville, Tri-County, and Monroe-Woodbury Fredonia's first game was 17-7 win on Wednesday vs. Section 1 East champ Baldwinsville Little League out of the Syracuse area. Fredonia jumped out to an early 5-0 lead in the first inning by taking advantage of numerous walks and hits by first baseman Taryn Sillanpaa and second baseman Lila Cameron. The middle innings saw Fredonia put up eight more runs without getting a hit. "Our team is really good at tracking the ball and we simply took what we were given" said manager Ed Schrantz. "Then we mixed in a few RBI groundouts, a few hit-by pitches, a few passed balls by their catcher and that's how we were to get a sizable lead on them. Fredonia put four more runs up in the fifth inning on hits by

Maria Maytum and Mansfield to ice the game. “Baldwinsville actually outhit us, but the number of walks they had was too much for them to overcome" Fredonia won game two against District 2 North Champ Tri-County 2-1. This game was delayed an entire day due to torrential rains that would not let up. 'After that first win I thought we would have come out more aggressive in game two. Maybe all that waiting around took something out of us because we came out a little flat,” Schrantz added. Tri County scored in the first inning on a lead-off single, stolen base, and a Fredonia error. Fredonia pitcher Rebecca Piede would settle down and shut Tri County down the rest of the way by allowing only one more hit and one walk the rest of the game. Fredonia threatened in the second inning when leftfielder Gaby Matos singled and Piede reached on an error. However, they were both stranded after an inning ending groundout. Fredonia finally got on the board in the third inning when catcher Kyleigh Waterman reached on a walk. She was then replaced by pinch runner Sarah Davis who advanced to
third on a hit by shortstop Erin Mansfield. After Mansfield stole second, centerfielder Erin Schrantz hit a deep shot over the right fielder’s head to score both Davis and Mansfield. That would be all the runs Fredonia would need. With the win Fredonia clinched a spot in the state semifinals. Fredonia's final pool play game was a close 4-3 loss to section 3 North champ Monroe-Woodbury. "Monroe-Woodbury was clearly the best team in the tournament,” Schrantz said. Fredonia put a scare into the eventual State Champion when Cameron led the game off with a single and moved to second on Mansfield's sacrifice bunt. Schrantz and Sillanpaa both walked and Schrantz later scored on a passed ball. "I think they were a little shocked after that first inning. In their first two games they threw two shutouts so after we put two runs up on them as early as we did made them realize they had a scrappy team to deal with”. After falling behind 3-2, Fredonia scratched out another run in the fourth inning on two more walks by Schrantz and Mansfield. CONTINUED ON PAGE 26

VICTORY ABOUNDS, FREDONIA LITTLE LEAGUE SOFTBALL TEAMS COMPETE AT STATES, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 25 After two wild pitches, which allowed Mansfield to score, MonroeWoodbury was forced to bring in their ace pitcher Emma Lawson. She proceeded to strikeout every Fredonia batter she faced. Monroe-Woodbury won it in the bottom of the sixth inning on a Fredonia bunt coverage miscommunication. Schrantz said, "It was a tough way to lose the game, but, it was nice knowing that we played the eventual state champion tougher than any other team they faced in this tournament. Their coaches and parents were very complimentary of how well our defense played to keep the game as close as we did.” The Fredonia defense was led by right fielder Nevaeh Zadzilka and shortstop Erin Mansfield. "Their coach just shook her head every time Erin and Nevaeh made one of their highlight reel plays" Fredonia's final game was a 13-3 loss against Section 4 West Champion North Shore Long Island in the semifinals. The game started off well enough when leadoff batter Cameron walked and moved to second on Mansfield's sacrifice bunt. Erin Schrantz then singled and later stole second. Third baseman Hallie Laurito then stepped up and hit a deep triple to right field to score two runs. Fredonia's third run came in the fourth inning when Jenna Truby singled and scored on a Mansfield hit. Unfortunately for Fredonia the stellar defense that carried them on numerous occasions this All

Star season had trouble containing the incredible hitting of the North Shore team. "North Shore had 14 hits, and we had 5 errors. I don't care how good you are, you can't overcome that combination” Schrantz added. This was the final little league game for all stars Payton Allessi, Gaby Matos, Taryn Sillanpaa, Erin Schrantz, Lila Cameron, Hallie Laurito, Erin Mansfield, Nevaeh Zadzilka, Rebecca Piede, Sarah Davis and Kyleigh Waterman. 11 year olds Maria Maytum and Jenna Truby will be back next season. Schrantz concluded, "Of course we would have liked to have won
it all, but, getting to the New York State semifinals was a huge accomplishment for this team. The support from coaches Fred Piede, Brian Cameron, and Mike Laurito was phenomenal and the parents were all fantastic. We have all become a close group. The only sad part about this entire run to states is that it's going to be the last time I get to coach this wonderful group of girls. After advancing to the state tournament with the 12 year olds the last four years we really have become like family. When I gave out their State pins at the conclusion of our final game it was very emotional. I look forward to watching these girls move on to the high school team."

requiring transportation, the need for cars will drop substantially." Every automaker sets sales goals, bases the price of a given car on those goals, and plans updates and options accordingly. In other words, Ford, Nissan and others know how many cars they need to sell in order to give each car an attractive price. It's sort of the economy of scale directly at work. The Renault-Nissan Alliance is responsible for roughly one in every 9 new cars sold globally, and it uses size and volume to its advantage. Carlos Ghosn, CEO, Renault-Nissan Alliance, said "The growing cooperation across the Alliance is delivering strong benefits for the members of the Alliance, reflected by the economies of scale ... Our growing synergies are helping Renault, Nissan and now Mitsubishi Motors meet their financial objectives and deliver higher-value
vehicles to customers in the new era of mobility." It sure doesn't sound like one of the largest automotive groups in the world is planning on selling fewer cars; rather, they're maximizing the natural efficiencies that can be gained when you sell 10 million cars per year and take the cost savings as both profits to keep The Alliance healthy and to give consumers a better value. Self-driving cars and increased ride sharing are certainly good things -- these will make comfortable, personal transportation available to more people, but it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. The bottom line is that all these changes will likely result in more cars and safer cars existing in a combination of private ownership and shared resources. It's hardly the end of the privately owned automobile, as many have suggested.
