Signs throughout Dunkirk and Fredonia show public support for NRG Energy’s repowering proposal. Photos by Patricia Pihl
By Daniel Meyer Star Contributing Writer
An estimated 2,000 residents who packed a public hearing earlier this month at Fredonia State College continue to hold community-wide discussions about the uncertain future of the electric generation facility owned by NRG in the City of Dunkirk. While both sides of the debate over whether or not Dunkirk’s coal power plant should be converted into a state-of-the-art natural gas facility voiced their
opinions at the public hearing, it has become clear that as conversations on the subject continue inside local hair salons, taverns and grocery stores, the vast majority of Chautauqua County residents support an estimated $500 million proposed investment to approve the conversion of the aged power plant to a natural gas facility. NRG vs. National Grid NRG Energy’s repowering proposal appears to be the favored project of the public when compared to National Grid’s plan to
upgrade its transmission system to meet the electric system’s reliability needs. A fi nal decision on the proposal to repower the aged Dunkirk coal plant and transform it into a modern gas-fired facility is expected to be made at a later date in Albany after comments from the public hearing and additional comments submitted to the New York State Public Service Commission are analyzed. Elected officials who represent the region support the plan put forward by NRG to repower their electric generation station in
Dunkirk, citing the opportunity to reduce pollution, dramatically increase efficiency and lower costs by coverting the plant from coal to natural gas. Chautauqua County Executive Greg Edwards spoke in favor of the proposal during the public hearing and again this week stated he supports the project, pointing out it “would create over 300 construction jobs, preserve countless others, provide essential tax payments and continue NRG’s significant support to our

the Forestville Water cure institute By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor
On June 24, 1846 Dr. Charles Parker of Ashville was harnessing his horses when he was called back into his home to find his wife crying out hysterically on her deathbed. Despite Orlinda’s young age of 33, and being described as having a strong physique, the mother of Dr. Parker’s five sons had been experiencing repeated bouts of sickness since before the birth of her fourth and most famous son, David in 1842. A fire destroyed the Parker house on a blustery day in March of 1844, and according to Dr. Williams, the stress of the fire and having to live in cold weather “in a less comfortable house,” brought on consumption to the otherwise robust and healthy woman. Pregnant again in 1845, Orlinda Providing basic preventative care for horses, dogs, & cats in clinic or at the farm. BY APPOINTMENT ONLY!

would experience violent coughing and felt as if “foreign substances were under her ribs on the right side.” Parker was convinced of the effectiveness of homeopathy, or the treatment of disease by minute doses of natural substances that in a healthy person would produce symptoms of disease. Known for the rule “like cures like,” Dr. Parker was now a practicing homeopath, and treated Orlinda with its remedies. As her condition worsened, Orlinda, would loose faith in homeopathy. Parker then used an elixir called spikenard, which was made into an expectorant cough syrup, as well as liquid naphtha. Orlinda would temporarily rebound, but continued her continued on pG 13 A flyer for Dr. Parker’s Forestville Water Cure. (Courtesy Hanover History Center)

Bringing ‘news’ to the Masses people, I want to see people helped and I want to see them succeed in life. But the problem lies in what I mentioned before- the notion of 24/7/365 news.

offering up their opinions about it was nearly overwhelming. The problem with the mass media, be it social or informational, is that everyone has an opinion. More so, everyone’s opinion, to them, possesses value. This has caused an inherent pride issue to rise up in not just our nation, but the world. Contrary to what is most assuredly popular belief, not everyone’s opinion matter. As a parent, I will listen to my children. But they will not be able to make decisions without my acceptance on that decision until they are no longer living under my roof. I heard once a woman say, “my children aren’t allowed to have an opinion until they are 18 years old,” and I whole-heartedly agree with that. Pride, at it’s core, is the idea that I bring something to the table that is better than what everyone else has. It is being force-fed to our youth, to our young adults and to our society as a whole. Sure, we can be proud of our accomplishments. We can have confidence in our ability to perform in a particular situation, but we cannot mistake confidence for pride. We are being taught that if what I say is not treated with the utmost value and care, then we’ve been judged or hated. Quite the contrary, I think.

While help with pulling Water Chestnuts is critically important, this volunteer at the Audubon Center & Sanctuary demonstrates that it can be fun, too.

“With a goal of zero new nutlets being produced this year, now is the critical period to keep Water Chestnuts from going to seed!” That’s how Jamestown Audubon President Ruth Lundin explained her plea for help to get these plants pulled before their seeds disperse. Otherwise, they will choke out both plant and animal life in waterways throughout Chautauqua County and the Conewango watershed of Pennsylvania. “We continue to have excellent pulls,” Lundin said. “Right now the water is lower, so we are using waders, life preservers, and ski poles for balance. Bring what you have, and we will provide the rest.” Volunteers are asked to attend as many of the pull days as possible and to spread the word for more volunteers. Everyone should wear long pants and

Know the Risks Sweltering Temperatures Pose for Children Contributed Article Red Cross
Children are particularly vulnerable to heat-related injuries and conditions. As hot temperatures roast much of the U.S., the American Red Cross offers tips for keeping kids safe and cool. While playgrounds provide an outdoor respite for children, playground equipment that has been baking in direct sunlight can be dangerous. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has reports of cases where metal, plastic, rubber and other nonmetal surfaces have been associated with thermal burns. The commission even had one report of a second-
degree burn being sustained on a 74-degree day. Children under two years old are specifically at risk because their skin is thinner and more fragile, and they may not know to remove their bodies from a surface that is hot. The CPSC urges caregivers to pay close attention to uncoated metal equipment; metal equipment where the heat-reducing coating has rubbed off; equipment children may sit on; dark-colored plastics and rubbers, especially the surfacing under and around the playground; and asphalt and concrete surfaces. The CPSC Fact Sheet on Burn Safety Awareness on Playgrounds recommends
that adults: Be aware of the sun and weather conditions, and do not assume that equipment is safe because the air temperature is not very high. Check the temperature of the equipment and surfacing before letting children play on the playground. If it feels hot to an adult’s hand, it may be too hot for a child’s bare skin. Because some materials transfer heat more slowly than others, materials may not feel hot with a quick touch. Dress children in appropriate clothing for the playground (e.g., shoes, pants). Playground equipment, as well as playground surfacing,
may cause burns. Always watch children while on the playground. Children, along with the elderly, sick or overweight, are also more vulnerable to excessive heat. Adults caring for children should pay attention to the heat index as well as the temperature. The heat index is the temperature the body feels when the effects of heat and humidity are combined. Exposure to direct sunlight can increase the heat index by as much as 15 degrees. Other steps adults can take to protect themselves and children during hot days are: Listen to local weather forecasts and stay aware of upcoming temperature
changes. If you do not have air conditioning, choose places you could go to for relief from the heat during the warmest part of the day (schools, libraries, theaters, malls). Be aware that people living in urban areas may be at greater risk from the effects of a prolonged heat wave than are people living in rural areas. Get trained in First Aid to learn how to treat heat-related emergencies. Never leave children or pets alone in enclosed vehicles. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, even if you do not feel thirsty. Avoid drinks with caffeine or alcohol. Eat small meals and eat more often. Wear loose-fitting, lightweight, light-colored clothing. Avoid
dark colors because they absorb the sun’s rays. Slow down, stay indoors and avoid strenuous exercise during the hottest part of the day. Postpone outdoor games and activities. The American Red Cross First Aid App contains information on dealing with heat. The app is free app and available for iPhone and Android smart phone and tablet users in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store for Android by searching for American Red Cross. As the mercury climbs, people should also use the Red Cross Heat Wave Safety checklist to care for themselves and those around them.

A woman can also join a local hiking club, adventure group or take a women only sailing class if she wishes, anything to get herself outdoors again and living life to the fullest. Seasoned outdoor enthusiasts on the other hand take the outside in whatever way they can in as long a dose as possible, even if it’s a five-minute walk at lunch. Some women take their time outside alone, preferring their own company in nature’s solitude while others enjoy the outdoor atmosphere surrounded by family and friends that also enjoy the outdoors. Life in the outdoors for these women is relaxed, serene, exhilarating and almost spiritual. The outdoor woman is renewed and refreshed after spending time outdoors. Is it the meditative qualities of water trickling down a creek bed, of the waves slowly lapping the sandy beach or the subtleness of a spring rain? Or the

RELIGION SECTION the Weekly Word
Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org
Dear Pastor, does God cause bad things to teach us? First, we need to see that the bad things in our life do not come from God. Jesus clearly tells us in John 10:10, “The thief (the devil) does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I ( Jesus) have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” Jesus said that it’s the devil that brings bad things into people’s lives, while it’s God who brings good things. The Book of James 1:13 tells us, “Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted by God; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does
He Himself tempt anyone.” James tells us that God doesn’t cause the bad circumstances. James further states in chapter 1:16-17, “Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” Knowing that bad things don’t come from God, how is it that good things such as learning to appreciate our families or coming together as a nation can come out of bad circumstances? The truth is that while God is not the author of evil, He promises
that He can take bad things and turn them around for our good. Romans 8:28 tells us “…that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” The Bible tells the history of Joseph who was sold into slavery by his jealous brothers. After reaching position in his Egyptian master’s house, he was falsely accused by his master’s wife and imprisoned. Years later, after Joseph’s release from prison, he was promoted to a high position. A famine brought his family into Egypt. Due to Joseph’s forgive-
ness, his family was reunited. He assured his brothers that whatever they had done to him, God turned it around. By having power in Egypt, Joseph could save many of his homeland from a great famine (Genesis 50:20). When we know and trust God, we can be assured of His presence through sorrow and trials. Even if we don’t understand, we must trust that God is there, always interceding on our behalf to turn what was meant for tragedy into an opportunity for triumph!

sider wearing an arthritis glove, like the Imak-made glove commended by the Arthritis Foundation, to provide mild compression and warmth while you work. Because the gloves are made of cotton material with an open-fi ngertip design, they won’t make your hands hot or hinder movement. Designed by an orthopedic surgeon, the arthritis gloves are also fully washable, so you don’t have to worry about getting a little dirt on them as you go about your gardening tasks. An added bonus – wearing any kind of glove can help you avoid another common gardening injury: blisters. Keep skin protected Because gardening keeps a person outdoors a lot during the warm, summer months, it’s important to protect your skin from insect bites and sunburn. While most insect bites are just an irritation,
sunburn can cause serious, long-term skin damage. Use insect repellent and sunscreen that blocks both UVA and UVB rays. Also wear a wide-brimmed, lightweight hat and sunglasses to protect your eyes and keep the sun off your head. Lift carefully Between the heavy bags of soil, the many tools needed, or full baskets of vegetables being carried into the kitchen for processing, lifting is a common labor when gardening. Remember to lift from a squatting position, with your back straight, so that your legs do the work, not your back. When kneeling down, use gardening knee pads or even just a rolled up towel to cushion your joints from the hard, damp ground. Remember to minimize twisting motions that can inure your back and joints. Enjoy the healthful benefits of gardening this summer. Follow these simple precautions to keep safe and injury-free so you can play in your garden until the snow falls.

Water Spirit Festival Brings attention and Support to Global Water crisis three-daY festivaL at westfieLd’s oXBo campGround to incLude music, campinG and YoGa, auGust 16-18
Katherine Coleman Star Contributing Writer
Confronting the world’s fresh water crisis is an advent that is extremely daunting as well as challenging. Especially in the United States, where clean water is much more of a structured and standard commodity, it is easy to abstain from action and overlook the global statistics pertaining to this issue. Currently, one in nine people, mostly in developing countries, are drinking unsafe water, which they attain with extensive, strenuous efforts. Out of these eight hundred million affl icted, thirty thousand die a week, mostly children under the age of five. The staggering amounts of deaths are from diseases such as dysentery. E. Coli, diarrhea and Hepatitis A, all obtained from their water supplies, which if given support and strength, could be reduced drastically. At the local level is where opportunity to help lies for the people of Chautauqua County. Although the crisis is beyond solution by the individual, as all crises are, many charitable efforts are available to reach out and help a lot of people and entire communities, making a positive dent in the troubles these people are facing. Carol Ford and Bob Williams, proprietors of the Oxbo Campground in Westfield, have united with Dave McDougald, member of the band Stoned and Beautiful and active contributor to the
non-profit organization, charity: water, founded by Scott Harrison in 2006. They are hosting the Water Spirit Festival, which is designed to raise the goal amount of $5,000 through ticket proceeds, which would allow water: charity to build a portable water well for a community in dire need. This festival will last three days on the Oxbo Campground, from August 16-18, offering yoga, meditation, different artisan and food vendors, camping and twelve main artists lined up to perform, with others to be announced. A kids’ tent is going to be available so the festival is child/ family friendly, making it a great opportunity for all members in the surrounding area. Carol Ford stated, “These people don’t have clean, accessible water around them to live a sustainable life. This festival is about how important water is to everyone, and what we can do to help. It doesn’t take a lot to make a huge difference.” Her main goal is to provide an enjoyable time for all attendees, so they can have a fun experience while simultaneously contributing towards the main goal. Depending on the ticket purchase, 22% -25% is donated, while the rest goes to the overhead costs of making the festival possible. The support from volunteers, as Ford explained, is what really makes the festival possible, and the festival is still encouraging more volunteers and vendors to get involved
towards the cause. If the Water Spirit Festival exceeds its goal of $5,000, the rest will be donated to the Westfield Fire Department. This festival is going to help on the local level, but also stretch its outreach globally, which shows a commitment to helping and improving the lives of the people around us, as well as those beyond our presence and community. What does one portable well mean for these people? While women and children are currently spending a staggering 40 billion hours per year fetching water, the easy access provided by the well means they are not as highly limited to time they can spend working, caring for their family and pursuing a proper education. Also, those long walks have high risk of sexual assault, and this can be reduced,
which is a blessing for these people who have to face these fears every day in order to stay alive and provide for their family. Small family gardens can be grown and tended unlike before, reducing confl ict famine and heightening self-sufficiency. Another great quality of these wells is the opportunity for more gender equality in places where women are extremely stifled in their opportunities. According to charity: water, “water committees are often the first chance for women to step into elected leadership roles.” The overall balance is so much better for these
people once their breach to clean water is lifted. After the well is built, sanitation training is conducted and latrines and hand washing stations are installed. So, with their new commodities they also learn new ways to stay clean and healthy, reducing vulnerability to diseases and improving their quality of life. And of course, one of the strongest incentives for commercial leaders in the United States is the economic impact this has. Every $1 invested in improved water sanitation and supply is said to potentially yield from $4-$12 for the local economies water:
charity, as well as similar organizations, reach out to. Margaret Catley-Carlson, Vice-chair of the World Economic Forum stated, “Water is an astonishingly complex and subtle force in an economy. It is the single constraint on the expansion of every city, and bankers and corporate executives have cited it as the only natural limit to economic growth.” As the population continues to skyrocket, with an estimated growth of 3 million people by 2050, it is critical to allay our freshwater problem. If we do not, our planet will inevitably reach an overcapacity of its ability to provide a sufficient supply to its inhabitants. It takes 90% of our existing freshwater to feed the population, and if we do not have enough of it, our ability to feed the planet is reduced just as drastically. These are all huge problems, and the Water Spirit Festival is providing an opportunity to make a difference, have a good time and contribute to a global cause. Pre-sale tickets for day or weekend passes are still available, as well as slots for volunteering or being a vendor. Tickets can be purchased and donations can be made at www. theoxbo.com. The Oxbo Campground is located at 8072 Taylor Road, Westfield, NY.

will find a button that is labeled “Upload”. Once you click that link, there are several things you can create on YouTube. In this article I am just going to step you through the process of recording through a webcam. After you make sure that your webcam is connected to your computer, click on the Webcam Capture button located on the right hand side. You will be presented with a small window asking you to allow YouTube for access to your webcam. You need to click “Allow” and then click “Ok”. Next you will see a video window with the object that the webcam is capturing live. My guess is that this might be you! You are already to record. I don’t claim to be an expert in video production, but before you record yourself, there are a few things you should address. Firstly, make sure you are in a quiet setting where you will be undisturbed. Nobody likes to be in the middle of a recording when someone walks into the room. Secondly, check the lighting of the room that you will broadcast in. Play with turning on lights and turning them off. If you have a bright table lamp, you might want to place that next to you. It
all depends on what type of presentation you are looking for. Finally, you might want to make a short outline or script. If you are a “let’s wing it” kind of person, then don’t worry about this. The nice thing about recording yourself is that you can do it as many times as you want, and you can also edit your recording. After you have finished your recording, you hit the button to stop recording and then hit a blue button labeled “Upload” in the lower right corner of your video. Next you are presented with a web page that allows you to give your video a description and to categorize it if you choose to do so. After you Save your changes you can go to http://www.youtube.com/ editor and have some real fun! At this page, you will see the videos that you have uploaded. You can drag and drop them into the video editor located on the left. You can add music to your clip, you can make cuts to your video, and annotate on your video. There is much more you can do to make a great video and to have some fun. So try recording, maybe you will be the next YouTube sensation!

Gillibrand Announces Partnership Between West Point and Fredonia High-Tech Start-Up Contributed Article Office of Senator Kirsten Gillibrand
U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand today announced that Silicon Wolves Computing Society LLC., a high-tech start-up based in Dunkirk, New York, teamed up with West Point to host an intern this summer. While touring the SUNY Fredonia Technology Incubator last year, Senator Gillibrand met with the Silicon Wolves Computing Society (SWCS) CEO and pledged to help the company build a relationship with West Point for their internship program. The company,
which turned two years old in March, supplies new technology-based businesses with logistical support and resources. “Bringing together regional technology start-ups and young adults is crucial to ensuring the high-tech sector in our state continues to bloom,” Senator Gillibrand said. “This partnership between will help this local business to continue to grow and positively impact our region. Together they will create opportunities for more high-tech products to be made in America, growing the number of jobs and ultimately strengthening our economy.” LTC Matt Burrow, a
professor at West Point said, “The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) works with both industry and government partners who can provide cadets with excellent opportunities to immediately apply what they have learned in the classroom to real-world research, technology applications, and engineering problems. In this pursuit, SWCS Systems fits the type of partner that will most benefit EECS cadets by providing opportunities to explore how technology is used by the Army and how the Army can benefit from work with industry and academia to solve problems and better support our na-
tion” “It is a privilege and an honor to be a part of U.S. Military Academy’s AIAD Program,” said Ryan Wolf, CEO and founder of SWCS. “SWCS is now among a rare few sponsors such as Boeing, iRobot and the NSA, who work with the Academy in providing real-world experience in their chosen academic field of EECS. Through our partnership, cadets will be provided with experience in both the technical and entrepreneurial aspects of a high-tech startup supercomputing company.” The making of this partnership began last year when Senator Gillibrand
met SWCS CEO and founder Ryan Wolf, a military veteran, during a tour of the SUNY Fredonia Technology Incubator. Wolf was interested in raising the profile of his business and offering military academy students a one of a kind experience, not only in supercomputing, but in entrepreneurship and the world of high-tech startups. During the months following, Senator Gillibrand’s office worked with SWCS to facilitate a relationship between the United States Military Academy and Mr. Wolf. After recognizing the unique experience that cadets would obtain through this partnership, West Point has committed
to send a computer science cadet, beginning this summer, to work under the guidance of Mr. Wolf. Silicon Wolves Computing Society LLC is a Research Computing Solutions company providing for the research, development, manufacturing and deployment of advanced, flexible and robust workstation, cluster and supercomputing appliances & solutions, tailor-made for missioncritical industrial computing environments, such as Digital Content Creation, Oil & Gas Discovery, Electro-Magnetics, Life Sciences, Medical Research, General Computational Research and Academia.

It is a privilege to work with such a dedicated group of people who are impacting our youth through music and the arts on a daily basis. Last winter, Infinity helped raise money for the soup kitchen by playing during our Soup and A Song series.

the event include Austin Anderson, Stephanie Benson, Lily Ellis and SYMBA (Hayley Restivo and Ryan Hawkins). Serving as master of ceremonies for the program will be Jason Sample, news director and on-air personality from WRFA radio in Jamestown. “It’s terrific to see Infinity teaming up with the St. Susan Center,” said Sample. “I don’t know what I’m looking forward to more; the music from Infinity or the soup from the local restaurants.” Restaurants donating and serving soup include the Hotel Lenhart, Red Lobster, Webb’s Captain’s Table, the Bemus Point Inn, the See-Zurh House,
Dinner Bell, the Sweet Spot, Bob Evans, the Village Casino, Babalu Café, Hare N’ Hounds Inn, Village Restaurant, Guppy’s Restaurant, the Corner Coffeehouse & Bistro in Frewsburg, Springs Restaurant, Scallion Bistro, the Bemus Point Golf Club and the Italian Fisherman. As part of the festivities, free horse-drawn carriage rides through the village of Bemus Point will be donated by Magic Moments Carriage Rides by Denny Wright. A bake sale and 50/50 raffle also will be conducted during the event, and a basket of products donated by the member merchants of Discover Bemus Point will be raffled.
Soup will be served, and musical entertainment will begin at 5:30 p.m. and continue through 7:30 p.m. Tickets for three bowls of soup, a beverage and access to the performances will cost $10 for adults and $5 for children (two bowls of soup). Proceeds from ticket sales, the bake sale and raffles will be split between St. Susan Center and Infinity. In the event of rain, the event will be moved from the Bemus Point town park to the nearby Village Casino.
New Canadian Company In Chautauqua County Contributed Article Susan Casel
Brantford, Ontario, Canada Company Proquip International is pleased to announce the start up of a new business entity in Chautauqua County, Proquip International Inc. is based in Dunkirk NY. The Proquip group of companies has been leading the new energy sector in Ontario since 1996. Proquip provides innovative solutions centered on LED lighting and solar technology. “I am pleased to bring our company mission of providing engineered lighting and solar solutions that reduce energy costs to Western New York” said Sam Tavernese, President of Proquip International. “Further I look forward to Proquip Internataional Inc. being an active corporate participant in Chautauqua County as we promote green, clean
energy. We are committed to servicing and manufacturing some of our products in our Dunkirk facility, linking the promise of “green” energy with creating “green” jobs. A Solar LED area light was recently installed by Proquip at the front entrance way of the new Science Center on the Jamestown Campus of Jamestown Community College. They did this in partnership with the County of Chautauqua Industrial Development Agency (CCIDA), Ahlstrom Schaffer Electric and Lightning Circuits International (co-located in Dunkirk with Proquip). JCC deemed it had insufficient lighting in that area and utilizing a Proquip Solar LED fixture allowed the concern to be addressed without having to wire and trench a power source, as well as eliminating any electricity costs going forward. “The light that has been erected at the Jamestown
Community College with the generous participation of the partnership is a testament to looking past the green trend and adopting and utilizing products that will set the standards of creating the necessary changes in the way we think of energy all together” adds Mr. Tavernese. “We look forward to launching this mandate right here in Chautauqua County”. Dr. DeCinque, President of JCC, said “We are delighted that Proquip International selected Jamestown Community College as the venue for purposes of introducing its environmentally friendly product line to Chautauqua County. It seems that the installation of the photo-voltaic powered LED light donated by the firm fits perfectly with the concept behind the construction of the college’s new LEED Gold Certified Science Center; the Science Center is not merely a building “in” which you can
learn, but is also a building “from” which you can learn”. “Once again I have to congratulate the CCIDA on its work to attract Proquip to the County. They have been participants in the Chautauqua County Energy Conference & Expo the last several years, and their com-
ing to Dunkirk is a direct result of that relationship” said County Executive Greg Edwards. The Proquip group of companies have been driving innovation and technology in regards to energy since 1996, and their extensive experience in LED lighting and Solar power solutions
has made them a recognized leader in the movement to build Green Communities. For more information on the company please search www. pqiglobal.com or contact Sam Tavernese-President, ProQuip International at 1-519-758-1421 or sam@ pqiglobal.ca www.pqi.ca
revenue entering the coffers of the city, the county and the Dunkirk School District. Local residents who spoke at the public hearing expressed their desire to see new life breathed into what many in Dunkirk simply refer to as “The Plant.” With only about six dozen people currently working there, the hope is that repowering the power
plant will help lead to the creation of new jobs on property that produces the largest taxes in Chautauqua County. Some state officials estimate that the permanent closure of the plant would cost the average City of Dunkirk homeowner $1,000 per year. There are some environmentalists who do not support the project and a handful of those people did
speak at the public hearing and are continuing to discuss their concerns that an increased demand natural gas power would eventually force the state to introduce deep-well hydraulic fracturing, also known as “hydrofracking.” State, county and city officials are encouraging anyone who was unable to attend the public hearing but wants to make com-

to physically come to this meeting, some who carried signs, some who signed up to speak, and all who stood and cheered each time they were asked to express their support for this critical investment,” said Edwards. If the natural gas repowering plan does not happen, the power plant is scheduled to be shut down by 2015, meaning the end of millions of dollars in tax

Week Six at chautauqua institution is themed “crime and punishment” Contributed Article Chautauqua Institution
Week Six examines the U.S. criminal justice system—what works, what doesn’t, how effective it is and how it compares to others around the world. Monday will feature a special lecture on portrayal of the law in opera, as Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg combines her two passions. Former Virginia Law dean John C. Jeffries Jr. will provide a philosophical and historical introduction to criminology and criminal justice on Tuesday. On Wednesday, Nina Morrison, senior staff attorney at the Innocence Project, will speak on her organization’s work to exonerate the innocent and reform a system responsible for many unjust imprisonments. Wes Moore will review race and the U.S. criminal justice system, based on experiences of his youth and research for his book, The Other Wes Moore, on Thursday. Retired federal judge Nancy Gertner, now professor of practice at Harvard Law School, closes the week on Friday with remarks on sentencing law. Afternoon Interfaith Lectures: Restorative Justice Restorative justice is a theory of justice that emphasizes repairing the harm caused by criminal behavior to the community as well as to the victim. It is
best accomplished through cooperative processes that include all stakeholders, including the perpetrator. This week will focus on what needs to be healed, what needs to be repaid to the victim and society and what needs to be learned and changed in the wake of crime. Carolyn Boyes-Watson, professor of sociology at Suffolk University and founding director of the Center for Restorative Justice at Suffolk University, kicks off the Interfaith Lectures on Monday. She has published extensively about the Restorative Justice Movement with special focus on the peacemaking circle. Jacques Verduin, founding director of the Insight Prison Project (IPP), a nonprofit that since 1997 pioneers innovative in-prison rehabilitation programs in San Quentin, will present on Tuesday. He has trained former prisoners to act as Change Agents in the community, working to prevent violence and incarceration.

lucille Ball comedy Festival live album & line-up Set Contributed Article Lucille Ball- Desi Arnaz Center for COmedy
The Lucille Ball Comedy Festival has released its finalized line-up, including the announcement of 16 rising comedians from across the country whose performances will be recorded for the live album “Live from Jamestown: The Lucille Ball Comedy Festival”. The album will be recorded in the Tropicana Room during Comedy Late Night, 10:30 p.m. August 1, 2 and 3, and is co-produced by Rooftop Comedy. Comedians performing during the recording include Jackie Kashian, Myq Kaplan, Harrison Greenbaum, Cy Amundson, Keith Alberstadt, Joe
Machi, Kelly Collette, Josh Gondelman, Jim Tews, Mark Normand, Andy Sandford, Andy Hendrickson, Calise Hawkins, Andi Smith, Kelly MacFarland, and Sean Keane.

the memory of Lucille Ball every summer. The album is going to feature some of our favorite comics and we look forward to sharing it with the world later this year!” While Comedy Late Night includes adult and “blue,” uncensored material, the album product will include the cleaner portions of sets. The live album will be available on iTunes, Pandora, Sirius/XM, Spotify and wherever hilarious mp3s are sold. CDs will be available at the Lucy Desi Museum, the Lucy-Desi online store and Amazon. com. Space is limited to 90 seats each night. “Getting these album tracks out is a great way to let the world know about the comedy coming out of Jamestown,” said Journey
Gunderson, executive director of the Lucy Desi Center for Comedy. “Ball wanted her hometown to be a place of celebration for all things comedy.” The Lucille Ball Comedy Festival will also feature a Pandora Comedy™ ‘Comics to Watch’ showcase on August 1, hosted by Tammy Pescatelli, a fan-favorite from the 2012 Lucille Ball Comedy Festival. This 8pm show will be “cable clean” and feature Keith Alberstadt, Joe Machi, Cy Amundson, and Jackie Kashian. Previously announced headline acts include Bill Engvall, Kathleen Madigan, the GIs of Comedy, the leads from the hit touring stage show I Love Lucy® Live on Stage, and Lucy Radio Comedy

ficacy are found in the book “Water Cure In America” published in 1848, which also lists water cure facilities in Troy, Utica and Cuba. According to the flyer, Forestville’s water cures could treat everything from consumption (early stages), to ulcers, rheumatism, dysentery and even paralysis. “Experienced and intelligent nurses” were employed, the doctor declared and the
house was arranged so that feeble patients were on the same floor as the bathing room. Used therapeutically for bathing, washing and drinking, spring waters were often analyzed by chemists who confirmed the mineral content and other health promoting attributes of the water. Dr. Parker’s popular clinic in Forestville burned down in 1855, but would soon be replaced. After the fire, the family moved to Jamestown where he set up another water cure in the Foote Avenue mansion that became the original WCA Hospital. According to Brake’s research, all that remains today of the original building is a piece
of one fireplace in a waiting room on the second floor of hospital. “A Chautauqua Boy” His work as a physician aside, Dr. Parker’s greatest legacy would be his progeny. Most notably was son David, who had numerous distinctions not the least of which was working as a carrier between Grant and Lincoln during the Civil War. Later he became the Chief Postal Inspector for the United States Post Office, developing the railway mail service, rural free delivery and registered letters. He would eventually become one of the founders of First Bank of Salamanca in 1883 and Director of the
Bell Telephone Company in Buffalo. Attempts by Brake to have a commemorative stamp in Parker’s honor would be rejected by the U.S. Postal Service. David was one many notable Parkers. His story was told in the book “A Chautauqua Boy in ’61 and Afterward,” an autobiography published in 1912. Appleyard Parker’s book, “A Chautauqua Family,” based on research by Yvonne and Ronald Brake Sr. was intended as a supplement to the popular story. Both books are rare and out of circulation but can be found in the archives of some local libraries.
Lost pLaces, continued from pG 1 steady decline. On June 28, 1846, Orlinda Sinclair Parker, whose father Samuel founded the village of Sinclariville, and the love of Dr. Parker’s life, died. If she did have consumption, known better by its modern name tuberculosis, the doctor’s best treatments would not have helped. However, a vaccine, based on the “like cures like” principal, would not be developed until 1944. The Mystery of Parker Hill Over a hundred years later, a hunting trip to “Parker’s Hill” in Steamburg would pique the interest of Jamestown resident Ron Brake, who, after asking about the hill’s name, wanted to find out as much as he could about the legacy of Dr. Parker and his famous descendents. Research would become Brake’s passion. A factory worker and selftaught detective/historian, Brake and his wife Yvonne would leave no stone unturned, contributing forty plus years to a fact-finding mission about the Parkers. In 1998, he published a book entitled, “A Chautauqua Family,” with the assistance of Patricia Appleyard Parker. His time and efforts would also result in numerous discoveries of family artifacts found in many states. He was also largely responsible for the historical marker placed in honor of David Parker, now standing in Ashville. “Experienced and intelligent nurses were employed” One of Brake’s finds was a handbill, which he surmises was probably nailed much as a Wanted sign would be to bulletin board or post. The flyer, which turned up in Texas, was an advertisement for Dr. Charles Parker’s Water Cure Institute in Forestville. The Brakes donated the handbill to the Hanover History Society Center in 2012. According to Appleyard Parker’s book, the Forestville Water Cure was founded in 1852 after Orlinda’s death, and was located near the present day Walnut Creek at the bottom of Sheridan Hill in what the flyer describes as “one of the pleasantest villages in Western New York, surrounded by romantic and picturesque scenery.”
A precursor to the modern spa, water cures were popular during the 19th century when health spas were well-known medical institutions for the upper class, especially those with lingering or chronic illness. However, unlike spas and mineral water, water cures were hospitals that catered to the sick using the curative properties of waters. Numerous testimonies of its ef-

the Boys of Summer Dunkirk BoiLerS on Their Way To naBF WorLD SerieS By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
Chautauqua County has always produced some very good baseball players. High school programs like Dunkirk, Fredonia and Pine Valley are consistently among the best teams in New York. The talent pool is evident even in the summer as the Dunkirk Boilers are once again dominating the CEBA (County of Erie Baseball Association) League. “We’ve been in the league two years now,” head coach Frank Schrantz said. “They’re trying to expand down into Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Niagara Counties. It’s a 22-and-under league. It’s primarily kids that are in college or are going into college. Most of these kids graduated high school this year.” The Boilers are made up of mostly players from right here in Chautauqua County. Dunkirk graduates Max Schrantz, Drew Messina and Vinny Bomasuto are joined on the team by former Fredonia rivals Nick Hart, Trent Thompson and Evan Carmello. Silver Creek’s Jake Horford, Pine Valley’s Lyle Hubbard and Westfield’s Austin Alonge are among the local players on the team. “It’s definitely nice playing with these guys,” Thompson added. “There are a lot of good players on this team. It’s nice to be able to move guys around and still have solid people at every position. I feel like we were never re-

ally enemies (in high school), just rivals. It’s nice that we get that out of the way and play together.” The league uses only wooden bats, but Schrantz noted that this is far from the first time these players have went with maple or ash in the batter’s box. “Ever since high school a lot of the summer tournaments have gone to wood bats only,” he explained. “It’s kind of a nostalgictype thing. It speeds the game up a lot. These guys love playing with wood bats. A lot of these guys haven’t swung a metal bat in quite a while.”
“It’s not the first time, but it definitely makes a difference,” Thompson added. “I know for a lot of guys it comes as a little bit of a shock. Especially right after the high school season it takes a little bit of an adjustment. I honestly haven’t noticed a difference pitching to wood bats. I’m looking at the glove when I’m pitching. I just look at the glove and pitch it.” The Boilers won the CEBA League last summer and earned an automatic bid to the National Amateur Baseball Federation World Series, which will be held on Aug. 1 in Toledo, Ohio.
“It’s one of the oldest established baseball groups out there,” Schrantz said of the NABF. “The team that won it last year was made up of players from Ohio State, Perdue, Michigan — a lot of Big 10 schools. It’s very competitive. If we go there and win one game I’ll call it a success. It’s stuff they’ll never see here. It’s a great opportunity to go out and play against top competition.” The team is sponsored in part by Dunkirk Radiator — hence the name the “Boilers”. “It helps us carry the liability coverage on the team, balls, umpires, all of that kind of stuff,” Schrantz said of the sponsorship. “It helps defer the cost a little bit. Then there’s a small amount the players have to pay to make up any difference we might have. “ While a majority of his players are on collegiate teams, Schrantz isn’t required to keep in contact with their college coaches regarding pitch counts or innings limits or anything of that nature. “Actually they’re encouraged to play,” he said. “A good college program will find a summer team for them to play on. If a player wants to work, it’s a viable opportunity for them to work during the day and play at night. “I have enough pitching where they only go about three innings at a time,” Schrantz continued. “When we go to the NABF World Series then I’m probably going to extend them out to four or five innings.” COntinued On pg 2

Trade Deadline Sure To Change MLB Landscape
By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
If you’ve been online or picked up a sports section of the newspaper in the past two weeks you probably know that the Major League Baseball non-waiver trade deadline is coming up on July 31. (Editor’s note: July 31 is also my mother’s birthday. One always helped me remember the other, though I won’t say which way.) The MLB trade deadline is absolutely the best among the four major North American sports. The NFL hardly sees any moves because the trade deadline is far too early in the season. If you see a reserve offensive lineman traded for a sixth-round draft pick it’s an exciting year. The NBA usually has a few trades, but often times it’s just teams obtaining expiring contracts so they can make a big run at the next year’s free agents. The NHL is sometimes exciting. Key guys like Jarome Iginla were moved this past trade deadline. But even that can’t compare with the MLB. This year is sure to be no exception. Bona fide aces like Matt Garza and Cliff Lee could turn a borderline contender into a legitimate title threat. A bat like Justin Morneau or Alex Rios might be enough to end decades of misery in Pittsburgh. In no other sport can the entire landscape of the league be changed so drastically in a two-hour window.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article Department of Environmental Conservation
Walleye fishing at the east end of the lake has been incredible over the past couple weeks. Trollers are picking up limit catches along the international line from the Buffalo departure buoy to west of Sturgeon Point, in 45-65 feet of water. Anglers also report decent walleye catches in shallower areas of 35-45 feet as well. Stickbaits and worm harnesses have worked best. Be sure to bring plenty of nightcrawlers, as white bass have been regularly stripping harness rigs. White bass are plentiful and are caught regularly by walleye and perch anglers. For those who want to target white bass or to try something new, keep an eye out for flocks of gulls working the lake's surface for minnows. The gulls are keying on baitfish that have been pushed to the surface by schools of white bass. Cast your bait or lures into these bait clouds and you will catch white bass. With surface temperatures now in the upper 70s, targeting smallmouth bass in deeper water is a better bet. Key on structure areas around reefs, rock piles and drop-offs in 30-45 feet of water. Drop-shot rigs combined with crayfish, minnows, tube jigs or other plastic baits works well. For more information see the Smallmouth Bass Fishing on Lake Erie page. July and August are the best months to target lake trout in Lake Erie. Head for prime depths of over 90 feet deep, northwest of Dunkirk to the PA border. Downriggers with spoons run near the bottom is a very productive method, although lakers may also be suspended in the water column.
Upper Niagara River
Smallmouth bass are available throughout the upper river. Concentrate on areas outside weed edges in 1020 feet of water. The west bank of Grand Island near Beaver Island State Park and the east side of Strawberry and Motor Islands are good locations. Drifting with a three-way bottom bouncing rig and crayfish works well. Anglers can target muskellunge by drifting on the outside of weed edges with large 8-10 inch tube jigs or by casting large stickbaits. Either side of Strawberry Island can be productive. A recent survey also showed good numbers of musky and pike along the east side of Grand Island near Spicer Creek. Anglers catch a mix of black bass, perch, sunfish and sheephead from Buffalo area shore sites. Live bait (minnows, crayfish and worms) is best.
places to catch a variety of warmwater species such as smallmouth bass, rock bass, bluegill, pumpkinseed, northern pike, bullhead and channel catfish. Downstream of Route 277, multiple municipal parks offer shore access to Tonawanda Creek. Upstream of the confluence with the Erie Canal, Tonawanda Creek is best fished from a canoe or kayak. There is plentiful shore access to the Erie Canal east of Lockport.
Chautauqua Lake
Anglers are still seeing decent walleye action along weed edges in around 15 feet of water. Recently, catches were reported in the south basin from Ashville Bay to Cheney Point and in the north basin around the Bell Tower. Largemouth bass fishing has been very good inside 10 feet of water. Top water lures, weedless rigged power worms and wacky rigged senkos have worked well. Live minnows, crayfish and plastic creature baits have produced decent smallmouth bass catches outside weed edges. Muskellunge fishing has been slow, however anglers can target musky along weed edges by casting large stickbaits and bucktail jigs or by trolling with Hot N' Tots, bucktail spinners or large stickbaits.
Inland Trout Streams
The recent heat wave has the area streams running lower and clear. It is advised that anglers not target trout in the afternoon, when stream temperatures are elevated. Tricos are hatching throughout the area at first light, and are the go to patterns at that time. Terrestrials are also on the menu, especially when there are no mayfly or caddisfly hatches happening. Ant dry flies, foam beetles, grasshopper and cricket patterns will take fish. Fish these patterns on a dead drift, giving it a slight twitch every now and again to imitate a struggling insect. Productive offerings for spinning anglers include worms, salted minnows and small inline spinners. If you are a catchand-release angler and use spinners, it is good practice to outfit your spinners with a single hook rather than a treble hook. Western New York anglers have a variety of Wild Trout Streams and Stocked Trout Streams to choose from. In addition, Public Fishing Rights Maps are available for many of the area's best trout streams. If you need more fishing information or would like to contribute to the fishing report, please call or e-mail Mike Todd (716-851-7010; mttodd@ gw.dec.state.ny.us) or Jim Markham (716-366-0228; jlmarkha@gw.dec.state. ny.us).

Barton Closes In On Schnars’ Record At Stateline Speedway
Contributed Article Glenn Slocum
Rain was reported all around the speedway but just a light sprinkle occurred before the qualifying heats were run. The Community Bank E-Mod Special was the featured event and there were 26 E-Mods on hand to collect. Rich Michael Sr. stated fourth and charged to the front passing early leader Alex Froman on lap five of the twenty-five-lap event for the win his third of the season. Dick Barton led from the initial green to win his 78th Super Late Model feature at Stateline now just one behind all-time win leader Bobby Schnars. The win helped Barton extend his Super Late Model point lead. Barton has been the Stateline Point Champion nine times, Mark Ramsey visited the Street Stock victory lane winning the feature from his fourth starting spot. Ramsey took control with five laps remaining. Michael Kosinski took the Super Sportsman lead on lap two beating last week’s feature winner Jim Kibbe to the line. Kosinski went on to win the event his second win of the season. Jasen Genco led every lap for his second Crate Late Model win out running point leader Damian Bidwell. A lap car ended the fight for the Limited Late Model win as early leader Nathan Short and runner-up point leader Ryan Scott tangled with the lap car ending their race for the win setting Steve Kania up for his third victory. Travis Darling, Casey Burch and Coty Schauers were three wide at the line with two laps remaining in the Super Challenger feature and Darling came out on top for his second win. On the initial lap of the Street Stock feature Nick Reale found the turn one wall causing a complete restart. Gary Fisher and
Jason Covey were on the front row with point leader Brian Crandall third and Mark Ramsey fourth. Fisher led by a bumper on the first green circuit then it was Covey by a nose as the yellow flew for Victor Earle, Earl Harvey and Dennis Asel. Covey was out in front on the restart with Fisher second, Crandall third and Ramsey fourth. With five laps completed Ramsey was third with Crandall fourth and the leaders were entering lap traffic. The third yellow appeared with seven laps complete for Paul Nelson and Todd Bacon. Covey controlled the restart and one lap was completed before the fourth yellow appeared this time for Elaine Best stopped sideways in turn three. Covey led on the restart but Ramsey moved alongside and led lap 10 just before yellow number five. Covey lost second to Fisher and with two laps remaining yellow six occurred. The leaders for the restart were Ramsey, Fisher, Covey, Mark Thompson and Richard Wojtowicz. Ramsey held on the win his first of the season. Last week’s feature winner Jim Kibbe was on the pole for the Super Sportsman feature. Second starting Michael Kosinski took the lead from Kibbe on lap two. At the end of five laps Kosinski was out in front by ten car lengths with Kibbe second and Ron Burgun a distant third. Lap traffic became and issue on lap eight allowing Kibbe to close with Kosinski. With two to go the first yellow of the race occurred when Alan Yarbrough stopped facing the wrong way in turn four. Kosinski handled the Kibbe challenge on the restart winning the race by two car lengths for his second win of the season. Alex Frohman started on the Community Bank E-Mod Special pole and led the first circuit. Rich Michael Sr. started fourth and was second on lap three followed by Butch South-

well. Michael continued his charge taking the lead on lap five. Darren Tarabori, Ron Seeley and Dan Sasso tangled on lap six for the first yellow. Michael began to build a lead after the restart then the second yellow collected Brian Wilson, Leonard Enos and T J Downs. Seven laps were complete and Michael was the leader followed by Froman, Nathan Hill, Butch Southwell and Dan Davies. David Scott joined the top five on lap nine as Davies slipped to sixth. The third yellow appeared after Wilson’s car erupted in steam. At the half way mark Michael’s had a ten car length advantage over Froman and Butch Southwell trailed Froman my eight car lengths. Chad Carlson lost the handle with nineteen laps down for yellow four. Six laps remained for Michael. As the starter showed the two laps to go sign Justin Chaddock spun for yellow five. No one could catch Michael over the final two laps giving him the win his third of the season. Dick Barton was the early Super Late Model leader taking full advantage of his front row starting spot. David Scott was second followed by Scott Gurdak, Andy Boozel and Chris Hackett. The first 10 laps were all green and Barton was in cruise mode extending his lead on every lap. Scott running second was also all alone with nearly a half lap lead on the rest of the field. The battle was for third between Gurdak and Boozel. The lap car of Doug Eck slowed the leader momentarily but Scott was unable to take advantage. Barton caught the tail end of the field with two laps to go but his commanding lead let him cruise to his 78th Super Late Model feature win just one back of all time leader Bob Schnars. Jason Genco was on the pole for the Crate Late Feature and led the first two laps then a yellow flew for Garret Stephen stopped

Kania was the benefactor assuming the lead with Steve Moynihan second. Kania led the final circuit for his fourth win of the season. Coty Schauers led the early laps of the Super Challenger feature and with two laps to go Casey Burch, the point leader, and Travis Darling were three wide with Schauers at the line. The yellow flew setting up a two lap dash for the win with Darling beating Burch to the finish by a car length.
Jammers mount one of the most improbably comebacks you’ll ever see. Down 7-2 entering the ninth and not really hitting the ball at all against the Batavia pitching staff, the Jammers suddenly erupted for seven runs in the ninth en route to a 9-7 win. Michael Fransoso launched a two-run home run in the inning, part of a two-hit, three-RBI afternoon for the Jammers’ second baseman. Lodge struggled on the mound early, allowing four earned runs in just three innings. Shane Carle followed and was undone by a pair of Jamestown errors that led to three unearned runs. Jared Lakind, Henry Hirsch and Roberto Espinosa each followed with a hitless, scoreless inning apiece. The Jammers have a twogame set in Williamsport beginning Friday before traveling to Auburn to play the Doubledays for another two games. The team will be back in Jamestown to play the State College Spikes on Tuesday.

Golfer's
D i a ry
TWo GooD rounDS haVe Me oozinG ConFiDenCe
By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
My golfer’s diary will follow my golf outing(s) for the week. I’ll look at how course conditions, weather, equipment, playing partners, etc. affect the game we love. Please keep in mind that I only started golfing last year, so yes, my scores are hardly that of a scratch golfer. But that’s what makes golf great: You don’t have to be a zero handicap to enjoy the game. Two very good rounds this week made my birthday weekend that much more enjoyable. On Saturday my group went out to Pinehurst Golf Club in Westfield for the first time this season and then I played again Tuesday at Hillview Golf Course in Fredonia. I played well. Perhaps the best I’ve ever played for an extended period of time. Despite playing 18 holes at Pinehurst, Bryan and I decided to walk because we both play much better when we walk. The round didn’t start off too hot as back-toback 6’s left me three over par after just two holes. The next four holes combined however, saw me hit two pars and two bogeys so that I was just five over after six holes. I’ve said time and time again that I’m usually happy if I can play bogey golf. Unfortunately a double-bogey and a bogey undid what could have been my best round ever and turned it into just an okay score of 44. That said, a 44 on the front nine set me up for a chance to break 90 for the first time on 18 (I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve actually played 18 holes). I really enjoyed playing the back 9 at Pinehurst. Usually the back-9 pins are just slightly to the left or right but at Pinehurst they actually change some holes from a par 5 to a par 4 or
vice versa. So back on No. 1 (after an adult beverage or two in the clubhouse), the tee box was moved up quite a bit for No. 10 and it was only a par 4. I hit a good tee shot, but struggled my way to another bogey. A bogey on No. 11 was acceptable because that’s a tough green to navigate. I was able to salvage par on No. 3 the first time through despite a terrible tee shot, but No. 12 I played very well and still ended with par after a missed birdie putt. Still, being even on one of the harder holes on the course was very gratifying. No. 4/13 is a pretty short par 3 and I’ve been playing par 3’s very well lately but for some reason was 0-for-2 in hitting the green. I went just short the first time and just to the right the second time. Then I wasn’t able to get myself in good position for par and ended with a pair of bogeys. Frustrating because that should be one of the easier holes on the course. No. 6/15 is probably the signature hole at Pinehurst. It’s a long par 5 the first time through at nearly 500 yards. I actually had a par after a series of very good shots. Then it jets out to 573 yards the second time through. It’s also uphill to the green so it actually plays longer than that. I basically just told myself that it’s probably going to take me four shots to get to the green and tried to stop myself from over-swinging and getting myself in trouble. I was right and wrong. My fourth shot actually ended up over the back of the green, leaving a very tough downhill chip. Well, it didn’t go well and I was forced to write the dreaded snowman on the scorecard. It was my only score of more than six for the entire round. The very next hole might be the prettiest on the
course. It’s a par 3 over a pond with the green surrounded by a grove of trees. Again, I’ve been playing par 3’s pretty well lately and this one was no exception. I missed a pair of birdie putts but it was another hole that I was even at for the day after a pair of pars. Nos. 8/17 and 9/18 are both very doable holes. No. 18 is actually a par 5 and after having a great shot at birdie, I Tiger Woods-ed my way to a bogey after missing not one but two easy putts. As I was waiting for Matt to add up the scores I was just hoping for a 45 or lower so that I’d get my sub-90 score. When he said 44 I was very excited. Breaking 90 might not seem like much for an experienced golfer, but it’s something I strive for as a second-year player. I actually played better a couple days later at Hillview, shooting a career best-tying 41 with Scott, who actually was an even par 36 for the afternoon. As always, the round started poorly as I doublebogeyed the first hole after a nice drive. If anyone has any recommendations about how I can knock the rust off better before starting please let me know. The first few hits with an iron never, ever go well. I can hit my driver while a little stiff, but my iron play suffers mightily no matter how much I stretch and take practice swings. A poor drive on No. 2 had me a little nervous because it’s a par 5 and I was still a long, long ways from the green. But a pair of nice shots left me on the fringe with a realistic shot at birdie. The end result: I lipped the cup and settled for par. I’ve lipped the cup before and it never feels good, but this would have been a birdie from the fringe so it
was extra frustrating. A bad case of weak baby syndrome kicked in after a stellar drive on No. 3. I was probably 50 yards from the green after a gorgeous tee shot and then just flubbed my wedge shot. My third shot didn’t leave me a great look at par and I ended with bogey. Actually I was just happy that I didn’t have to play from the rough on the right. I seem to have cured my case of the slices, but No. 3 at Hillview is usually the exception to that. Three straight pars on Nos. 4-6 left me with a realistic shot at breaking 40 for the first time ever. No. 7 is a very difficult hole to navigate, though. A massive tree blocks the green from the left so you almost have to hit your drive up the right side of the fairway or even further right. I did and hit a beautiful second shot too. Honestly I just putted terribly and ended with bogey. It was definitely a hole I wish I could have back (or at least the last few shots). A par on No. 8 meant that if I could par the long par 3 to end my round I’d have a 40 on the button. I had a look at it too after hitting my 3-wood a tad left and chipping on within 10 feet of the pin. Sadly, my best round still stands at 41 because I wasn’t able to sink that putt. Though in fairness, my previous 41 came on a par 35 course and this one came on a par 36, so this one is technically better. I always play very well at Hillivew. I should start playing there more often to boost my confidence a little bit. Though after the last few rounds I’ve had, my confidence is about as high as it can get.

Barbeque Helps Make Rodeo What It Is Contributed Article Paul Cooley
Anyone who has ever worried about fixing family supper at home should follow Bruce and Paula Gustafson of Gerry as they prepare and serve more than 3,000 barbeque beef dinners during the four nights of the Gerry Fire Department’s 69th Annual PRCA rodeo, July 31 through August 3. The Gustafsons, who have worked at the Gerry Rodeo for more than 20 years, took over the duties of the dining hall in 2006 and have continued to take their vacations from their places of employment — Bruce at Chautauqua Machine Specialties and Paula at the Chautauqua County Health Department — to prepare the dinners which are as famous as the rodeo itself. For Bruce each day begins at 5:00 a.m. as he starts the wood fires in the open pits and loads about 1,000 pounds of top quality beef into the pans where it will cook for eight hours. Paula arrives about 7:00 a.m. and begins her duties supervising the preparation of the meals for a 5:00 p.m. serving time with the help of 40 to 50 volunteers, including

children who wash silverware, senior kitchen veterans who arrive early to peel and "eye" the potatoes and cut lettuce, and men who slice the meat. By the time serving begins, they will have made 50 quarts of the "secret recipe" barbeque sauce, 40 quarts of gravy, peeled and quartered more than 500 pounds of potatoes, and added tossed salad, cottage cheese, corn, ice cream, and drinks for the rodeo fans to consume in the newly
renovated and air conditioned dining room. By the time clean-up is done, it is usually 10 or 11 p.m. and Bruce and Paula head home for a few hours of sleep, knowing that very early the alarm will ring and the entire process will start all over again. By the time the week is over their "vacation" has worn them out, but they will go back to work knowing that they have done more than their share for the fire department's major fund raiser. This rodeo is now the longest consecutively running rodeo east of the Mississippi and will feature more than 125 professional cowboys and cowgirls competing for $40,000 in prize money in seven rodeo events. Action will begin at 8:00 PM on Wednesday, July 31 and continue each night through Saturday, August 3, with a matinee on Saturday at 2:00 and a free kids' rodeo Saturday morning at 11:00. Dinners are served nightly from 5:00 to 8:00. Addtional information is available at the rodeo website www.gerryrodeo. org or by phone at (716) 985-4847 or toll free at 1-888-985-4847.

Commentary continued from pg 1 Let’s take a look at a handful of players and what one self-proclaimed expert (me) sees as their perfect landing spots. It’s entirely possible that by the time this is published a few of these guys will have been moved, but as of this writing on Monday, July 22 all of these players are still on the market. Note: I’m avoiding Cliff Lee because his situation is just too unpredictable. Justin Morneau, Minnesota Twins — Four or five years ago it would have been unthinkable that the Twins would ever trade their first baseman Morneau. From 2006-2009 the Canadian slugger averaged 30 home runs and 118 RBI per season. He’s just a rental as his contract is up at the end of this year, but .273/.331/.406 could certainly represent an upgrade for some contending teams. Who knows? A change of scenery might be all he needs to bring back that 2006 MVP form. Minnesota isn’t apt to get much in return for him due to his injury history and $6 million remaining on his contract for the rest of the season, but he’ll almost certainly be traded regardless. PERFECT FIT: Pittsburgh Pirates. An every day first baseman would allow the Pirates to platoon Garrett Jones and Jose Tabata in
right field. The move would simultaneously improve their bench by giving them Tabata/Jones and Gaby Sanchez as options to pinch hit. Matt Garza, Chicago Cubs — This is a guy who is nearly 100 percent certain of being traded soon. His agent has already been informed that he’s on the move. But to where? Garza has a 5-0 record with a 1.24 ERA in his past six starts. Think that’s enough to make pitching-hungry teams salivate? This is a guy who could instantly become the ace of a staff headed into the postseason. He’s proven he can shut down even the best lineups and he has postseason experience from his days in Tampa. I’m pretty sure you could look at every team in baseball and fit Garza into their rotation. He’s that good. Teams like Cleveland, Baltimore, Texas, Boston, Colorado, Arizona, Oakland, Pittsburgh, Dodgers and Yankees have been linked to him. The Cubs are sure to get a haul for him, but from what team? PERFECT FIT: Boston Red Sox. As good as Boston has been this year, their pitching remains a question mark with Clay Buchholz struggling to come back an injury and Jon Lester looking more like a No. 5 starter
than an ace. Boston has the prospects and the cash to land (and possibly sign to an extension) Garza. He’s used to pitching in the American League East and could be enough to push the Red Sox to another title. UPDATE: Garza has been traded to the Texas Rangers. Bud Norris, Houston Astros — This is an interesting case because Norris isn’t exactly an ace, but certainly has enough talent to land Houston a good haul in return. He’s under team control until 2016, so why Houston is so anxious to unload him is a little bit of a mystery to me. Yes, the Astros are terrible (or worse) right now. But their farm system is loaded and you can never have too much pitching. The price for him now isn’t likely to be much more than next year at the trade deadline, so why not wait and see what happens? A deeper look at the numbers show he’s not worth giving up even one top prospect and words has it that Houston wants two top prospects for him. His ERA is okay, not great (3.91). His strikeoutto-walk rate is only slightly better than 2-to-1 (83/40). His 83 strikeouts in 119.2 innings shows he doesn’t exactly have swing-andmiss stuff. PERFECT FIT:
Cleveland Indians. The Indians probably won’t win the Central or a wild card spot this year. Trading for Norris would at least give their fans hope and like I previously mentioned, Norris is under team control for another two seasons after this one. So getting a guy who can be a solid No. 3 starter for the next two years while eating up some innings is definitely a shrewd move as long as Cleveland doesn’t have to give up the farm. Being the best player on the Astros isn’t really saying much, but Norris is only 28 years old and could certainly help in the future. Michael Young, Philadelphia Phillies — Young certainly isn’t a shortstop anymore, but he’s been solid at both third base and first base for the Phils this year. The fact that Philadelphia has been winning a little bit and gaining ground on the Atlanta Braves in the N.L. East complicates things a little bit, but I’d say the odds are in favor of Young being shipped out to a real contender. Ryan Howard and Ben Revere are both on the DL, so GM Ruben Amaro hopefully can see the writing on the wall. Young is hitting .286/.347/.417 with seven home runs and 31 RBI, so you can bet he’s drawing
interest. The career .301 hitter is a leader on the field and in the clubhouse and I can see him outperforming expectations for a stretch run. PERFECT FIT: New York Yankees. Is A-Rod coming back or not? Do they even want him back? Would you rather have a guy who draws a media circus or a guy who quietly puts up good numbers and helps a team win? Young would fill a gaping hole in the Yankees’ lineup and provide some veteran leadership to a suddenly young team. Despite all the injuries, the Yankees are very much alive in the American League and it would be very un-Yankee like to not go for broke each and every year. Young could probably be gotten for fairly cheap and would be a good addition to the pinstripes. Jake Peavy, Chicago White Sox — Chicago’s South Siders might have really lucked out by the timing of Peavy’s recovery from a fractured left rib. He came off the DL and pitched well in his first start since June 4, allowing two earned runs in six innings against the Braves. Peavy is a proven stud, though he certainly carries with him a bit of an injury risk. That said, the White Sox are going nowhere fast and Peavy will surely be traded
off along with Alex Rios, Alexei Ramirez, Jesse Crain and Matt Thornton (who was already traded to the Red Sox). PERFECT FIT: Baltimore Orioles. The O’s have one of the (if not THE) best offenses in baseball with Adam Jones, Chris Davis, Manny Machado and company absolutely making pitchers’ lives miserable. What they lack is a starter to send to the hill to kick off a playoff series. Now surely the playoffs are not a given as the O’s sit behind both Boston and Tampa in the A.L. East, but getting Peavy would be an enormous step towards getting at least one of the two wild cards. The O’s did already pick up Scott Feldman from the Cubs, though that’s another case of just picking up a solid No. 3 starter. Other possible trades could include Alex Rios to the Yankees, Francisco Rodriguez to the Tigers, Glen Perkins to the Diamondbacks or Raul Ibanez to the A’s. Though lately I’ve heard rumors of Rios and Alexei Ramirez being shipped to Pittsburgh in a package deal. As a Pirates fan, I’d take that in a heartbeat.

Brewers’ Braun Suspended For The Rest Of 2013 MLB Power Rankings By Ronald Blum AP Sports Writer
Ryan Braun stood on a spring training field and proclaimed he was innocent of using banned testosterone. ''I would bet my life,'' he said back then, ''that this substance never entered my body at any point.'' Seventeen months later, he accepted a 65-game suspension from baseball and admitted, ''I am not perfect. I realize now that I have made some mistakes. I am willing to accept the consequences of those actions.'' The 2011 National League MVP was suspended without pay for the rest of the season and the postseason Monday, the start of sanctions involving players reportedly tied to a Florida clinic accused of distributing performance-enhancing drugs. Attention quickly turned to who's next? Will Alex Rodriguez or any of the other players tied in media reports to the Biogenesis of America clinic get disciplined and, if so, when? ''I'm pretty sure Braunie won't be the last,'' Detroit All-Star outfielder Torii Hunter said. ''It's going to be for the next 100 years, somebody's going to try to beat the system, and as long as they keep catching guys, the system works.'' Braun, a five-time All-Star, accepted a penalty 15 games longer than the one he avoided last year when an arbitrator overturned his positive test for elevated testosterone because the urine sample had been improperly handled. More than a dozen players were targeted by MLB following a report by Miami New Times in January revealing relationships between Biogenesis and major leaguers. When Yahoo Sports reported in February that Braun's name was listed in Biogenesis' record, Braun said his lawyer had retained clinic owner Anthony Bosch as a consultant. Braun issued a statement that said ''I have nothing to hide.'' MLB Commissioner Bud Selig announced Braun's penalty, citing the outfielder for unspecified ''violations'' of both baseball's drug program and labor contract. Braun's ban will cost him about $3 million of his $8.5 million salary. With the Brewers in last place in the NL Central, they aren't likely to have any playoff games for him to miss. ''I wish to apologize to anyone I may have disappointed,'' Braun said. ''I am glad to have this matter behind me once and for all, and I cannot wait to get back to the game I love.'' Under the agreement reached by MLB and the players' association the specifics of Braun's admission were not made public.
that limited him to one game between June 9 and Friday. He was at Miller Park before Monday's game against San Diego and addressed the Brewers, then left without speaking to reporters. ''He apologized,'' pitcher John Axford said. ''Whatever else was said beyond that, I don't think we need to carry outside of the clubhouse.'' Braun met with MLB investigators in late June. Baseball's probe was boosted when Bosch, who ran Biogenesis, agreed last month to cooperate with the sport's investigators. By serving the entire penalty this year, Braun gains a slight monetary advantage. His salary increases to $10 million next year, when a 65game suspension would cost him about $500,000 more.

These weekly power rankings are based on more than just standings. They are the opinion of just one person and meant to facilitate discussion. Feel free to disagree with the rankings and send your thoughts to stefan.gestwicki@star-mediagroup.com. 1) Boston Red Sox 61-41 Locking up Dustin Pedroia to a 7-year, $100 million deal was absolutely the right move. 2) St. Louis Cardinals 60-37 Rookie Shelby Miller picked up his 10th win with six shutout innings on Tuesday. 3) Tampa Bay Rays 59-42 Matt Moore is living up to the hype and is proving a legitimate ace for the Rays. 4) Pittsburgh Pirates 59-39 Losing N.L. saves leader Jason Grilli could be a huge blow to the league’s best bullpen. 5) Cincinnati Reds 57-44 Thirdmost wins in the N.L. and third place in their own division. The Central is brutal. 6) Oakland Athletics 58-42 They’ve pulled away a little in the West, but have only been playing .500 ball lately. 7) Baltimore Orioles 57-44 Trades for Scott Feldman and K-Rod might seem minor but could go a long ways. 8) Los Angeles Dodgers 52-47 A fivegame winning streak has Big Blue in first place despite a +2 run differential. 9) Detroit Tigers 55-44 They have to be disappointed to only be 11 games over .500. They’re loaded on paper. 10) Atlanta Braves 56-44 They’re still coasting off that fast start, but also the only team in the East above .500. 11) Texas Rangers 55-45 Maybe getting Matt Garza will spark this team. They’ve been struggling badly. 12) New York Yankees 53-47 Alfonso Soriano in July: 8 home runs. Yankees in July: 7 home runs. Get him. 13) Cleveland Indians 52-48 Six games coming up against White Sox and Marlins could jumpstart the Tribe. 14) Arizona Diamondbacks 52-48 This was never a first-place caliber team anyway. Let the freefall begin. 15) Philadelphia Phillies 49-51 Maybe management doesn’t realize that .500 teams don’t generally make the playoffs. Sell. 16) Washington Nationals 48-52 Bryce Harper is hitting just over .200 with one home run in July with the Nats struggling. 17) Seattle Mariners 48-52 You could have won a lot of bets if you’d said Seattle would have the best offense in July. 18) Colorado Rockies 48-53 It’s hard to ignore this team’s talent. There’s a chance they win 10 in a row starting soon. 19) Kansas City Royals 46-51 This was supposed to be the season everything came together. Update: It hasn’t. 20) Los Angeles Angels 46-52 Another three-game losing streak.

Lutheran: the Go-to resource for aGinG WeLL Contributed
Lutheran Friendliness, convenience and knowledge are the keystone to a good customer experience. Lutheran in Jamestown is reinventing the way people can navigate senior services by focusing on this tried and true model. Generally, adults are good at planning for college, for marriage, and for children. Just as important is planning for the retirement years. Is it time to downsize? What are the options for housing? What insurance product is best for each situation? Where to begin? Lutheran can help. “We understand that the different levels of senior care and
housing choices can be overwhelming, confusing and intimidating,” said Tom Holt, Lutheran president and CEO. “Our goal is to create the most rewarding lifestyle and to help older adults maintain their zest for life and live independently. If we can’t meet the needs of the person, our staff will help direct him or her to the best choice available.”Adults who actively plan for the ever changing chapters in their lives - age very well. “Our knowledgeable team can help navigate the exciting world of worry free senior living and the complex world of aging,” Holt said. “Often times we see that those who don’t plan ahead and find themselves in a crisis, force family members to make difficult decisions for them. This can be a
very emotional time for everyone involved. We work hand in hand with families and guide them step by step through the maze of options.” The Lutheran Campus is located at 715 Falconer Street in Jamestown. Programs include the Senior Life Matters outreach program, independent living apartments and duplexes, assisted living, rehabilitation, medical model adult day health care and skilled nursing. To access information about any of the programs or services call Lutheran at 716-6654905 or log onto www. lutheran-jamestown.org.

Chautauqua County Office for the Aging The recent heat wave is cause for concern especially among seniors and those with chronic health problems. Office for the Aging urges people to stay hydrated and take advantage of cooling centers to avoid heatrelated illness. Below is a list of designated cooling centers in Chautauqua County and their hours of operation: Dunkirk Senior Center 45 Cliffstar Court Dunkirk, NY Open 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday through Friday (716) 366-7530 Crystal Ballroom Senior Center
Hotel Jamestown 2nd Floor 110 West Third St. Jamestown, NY Open 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday through Thursday (716) 664-3345 Jamestown Savings Bank Ice Arena 311 West Third St. Jamestown, NY Open 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday through Saturday.

said Dr. Mary Ann Spanos, OFA Director. “Remember to drink additional fluids and get out of the heat. If you cannot get to a cooling center, draw the shades and keep windows closed during the hottest part of the day to keep the interior as cool as possible. If you are able, go into a basement room as these usually stay cooler than main floors. Be aware of the signs of dehydration including dark smelly urine, dizziness, and onset or increased confusion and call your doctor for further instructions.” For more information on cooling centers call NY Connects at (716) 753-4582, 3634582, or 661-7582.

The Right Time For Assisted Living have to make. It’s easy to advise a friend or neighbor on what’s best for an individual suffering with dementia, but it’s quite different when that individual is someone you love.
Contributed
Tanglewood A family comes to our facility in a time of crisis and relates a story that is all too familiar. Their mother is living alone and they have become increasingly concerned about her health and well-being. She hadn’t been eatiwng well and so they had arranged for Meals on Wheels to deliver food. But when they visited her recently, they found that the food that had been delivered was still sitting on her table, untouched. Her hygiene had deteriorated and they suspected she wasn’t taking her medication. Although they had talked about assisted living facilities in the past, at the time they were hopeful that their mother would be able to manage with a few hours of home care services supplemented by family members checking in on her frequently. Home care services were helpful but were limited and infrequent. They addressed some of her medical needs but her social skills were declining rapidly. Their
mother had become more and more isolated and confused. The family, like any other family, was still hesitant to seek placement because of feelings of guilt. They had promised their father that if anything ever happened to him, they would always take care of mom. Their intentions were good and based on love and promises, but the time required to meet the increasing needs of their mother, had become overwhelming. Their own health had been affected by the stress associated with their mother’s care, and family relationships were becoming strained. They realized that it was not good for their mother to stay inactive in her room for hours during the day, but it seemed like the only respite they were being allowed. The family was now coming to our facility because the realization of the need for a safe and structured environment for their mother had reached the critical point. They understood that the feelings of guilt,
although well intended, were about themselves and not in their mother’s best interest. They knew that she needed the activity and socialization that they were unable to provide on a 24 hour basis. They wanted her to be happy again. Unfortunately, this realization often arrives at a time when the loved one has reached a stage that requires admission to a skilled nursing facility. Although done with the best of intentions, the family had actually deprived their mother of the socialization and active involvement that would have prolonged her ability to enjoy a meaningful life. A few months of well meant hesitation had made the difference between her entering a new chapter of life and her commitment to the last chapter of life. So when is the right time to think about Assisted Living? If you’re asking this question, it was probably several months ago. Placing a loved one in a facility is probably one of the most difficult decisions you will ever
Behaviors and mannerisms that indicate a problem are excused as a person becoming a little eccentric or a little forgetful but certainly not something that warrants placement. You hold on to their brief windows of clarity that afford you a glimmer of hope that all is back to normal. But the window quickly collapses and the conversations and interactions are soon forgotten. A mother no longer wants to take the weekly walk or play a board
game that has always been a cherished ritual. You justify the reluctance as boredom or ambivalence, when it may be that she’s forgotten the path or the rules of the game. To someone struggling with memory loss, “no” is the safest answer. It doesn’t require thought, memory or explanation and shields them from a world of scrutiny. Placement of a loved one in an Assisted Living facility should be decided on the needs of the individual. Holding on to a memory of who they were and what they were able to do is only a comfort to you, not them. Allowing them to blossom in an environment of socialization and acceptance is the ultimate act of
unselfishness. Concerns of what others may think should never overshadow the needs of the individual. A person with memory loss has the same basic needs and requirements as anyone else. Through a program of socialization, activity and acceptance they can have these needs met and continue to enjoy a healthful and happy life. Our loved ones have toiled and sacrificed for us for far too long to deprive them of the security and comfort they deserve. It is time that we let go of the past and enter the world their living in today. Let’s be gracious guests. So when is the right time to think about Assisted Living? You decide.

makinG the transition from hospitaL to home easier Contributed
Senior.com Coming home from the hospital or other care setting after an illness or surgery can be worrisome for both patients and the friends and family members who care for them. Planning ahead can make the process much easier. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has advice that is useful to the millions of Americans who are actively involved in caregiving. Through its caregiver initiative, Ask Medicare, CMS recommends the following steps to prepare for a transition: Plan ahead: You can – and should – start thinking about the discharge process well in advance, even as early as at the time of admission. CMS has a

helpful checklist of key points in its “Planning for Your Discharge” guide, available at the “Medicare Basics” link on the home page of the Ask Medicare website at www.medicare. gov/caregivers. This checklist will help you prepare for the next steps in care.
Prepare for extra costs: The person you are caring for may need new medical services or medicines after coming home. Medicare may cover some of these costs, but not all. You can learn about services and care that are covered by Medicare at the “Help With Billing” and “Is It Covered?” links at the Ask Medicare home page.
Get ready for new responsibilities: Talk to hospital staff about what you will need to do at home, who will show you how to properly carry out any new tasks you will be taking on, such as administering medication, using medical equipment, changing bandages or giving shots. Make needed changes to your home: You might need to rearrange your home to have room for items such as a hospital bed, walker
or a wheelchair. You might need to consider installing a ramp in place of stairs – be sure to ask the hospital staff what
will be needed. You should also remove area rugs and other items that may cause falls and group electrical cords
Keep a list of key contacts: Put contact information for doctors, pharmacists, home care agency staff and others involved in the care process where you can easily find them. Don’t be afraid to ask for help: If you’re overwhelmed, don’t hesitate to ask a friend

What everY senior shouLD knoW about iDentitY theft
Contributed
Senior.com If you don’t use credit and never go online, you don’t have to worry about identity theft, right? Many seniors may feel that philosophy applies to them – and they couldn’t be more wrong. The very qualities that make some seniors feel safe – a tendency to not use credit much, operating on a cash basis and avoiding technology – make identity thieves view seniors as very appealing targets, credit experts warn. “Anyone with a Social Security number needs to be aware of the risk of identity theft,” says Jennifer Leuer, general manager, ProtectMyID. com. “Seniors, however, should be especially vigilant about identity theft protection,
because they are often a preferred target of identity thieves and scammers.” While identity theft can happen to anyone at any age, seniors may be at greater risk for a number of reasons, including: Many states display social security numbers on Medicare cards. Even if your card is never lost or stolen, enterprising thieves may be able to snatch the number when you show your card for a legitimate purpose. Seniors often have more to steal than other people. They tend to carry higher cash reserves and home equity than other age groups. Seniors may be less technologically savvy, and may be more likely to respond to scams because they haven’t
researched them online. Seniors may feel less need to closely monitor their credit reports and financial accounts because they tend to use credit less. Identity thieves know that it may be months – or even years – before senior victims check their credit reports and discover they’ve been defrauded. Seniors are more likely to trust officiallooking emails and open unsolicited communications and click on links that could lead to malware or phishing attacks. Common forms of senior identity theft include check fraud, credit card fraud, phone or e-mail solicitations, social networking schemes and Social Security fraud. Fortunately, there are many ways seniors can protect themselves, or adult children can

help protect their aging parents, from identity theft. Never carry your Social Security card with you. If your Medicare card has your Social Security number on it, make a photocopy of the card and black out everything but the last four digits of your number with a permanent marker. Carry the copy whenever you need to show the card. Carry only the checks you will need for a specific use on any day. Leave your checkbook at home in a secure location. Pick up checks at the bank to avoid having them stolen from your mailbox. Better yet, set up direct deposit with the Social Security Administration and any retirement accounts that you regularly draw on such as pensions or
IRAs. Learn to pay bills online, if possible, or mail bills and other paperwork from a secure mailbox at the post office. Don’t mail bills or any documents with identifying information from your home mailbox. Always lock up financial statements and any items, including computers, which contain personal information. Especially for seniors who live in assisted care facilities. There are too many people with access to rooms in these facilities to leave sensitive information out for anyone to see. Use an updated crosscut or diamond-cut shredder to shred all personal and financial records before you throw them away. It’s a good idea to complete
a thorough inventory of all old files – receipts, financial statements, taxes – shred the ones that are no longer needed and secure the ones that are. Consider using an identity monitoring product that gives you identity theft protection, like www.ProtectMyID. com. The product monitors your credit report on a daily basis and alerts you to activity on your credit accounts. And, with one phone call to a specially-trained fraud resolution agent, you can report all your cards lost or stolen and they’ll contact the credit card companies for you. And if you do become a victim of identity theft, you’ll have a designated fraud resolution agent by your side through the whole process of resolving the situation. You can learn more at www.ProtectMyID.com.

concorD pharmacY FredOniA’s independent phArMAcy Fills niche Chautauqua Star Editor
Patricia Pihl We all have questions about our medications and insurance coverage, but seniors often have special needs when it comes to managing their medicines. One way they can get personalized help is by working closely with their pharmacist. Choosing an independent pharmacy is one of the best ways to get the one-on-one attention that they require. Through the encouragement of the community, Greg Giambrone decided to open Concord Pharmacy in Fredonia, filling an important niche, which Giambrone says is simply “getting to know people, caring about their needs and the medicines they take.” “Through the years, I’ve
had individuals tell me, ‘you should open up your own pharmacy.’ We lack independent and hometown pharmacies; everything is either a chain or a conglomerate.” An advantage of an independent is the oneon-one and knowing the people who come through the door - an invaluable service most consumers are seeking that you just can’t put a price on. Along with personal service and a convenient location (near Routes 20 and 60), Giambrone adds “it’s not huge, where you will be searching all around for different items.” And that is appealing to those who want a quick pick-up or to the elderly, who have difficulty walking a long way to pick up their medicinessomething the larger stores necessitate.
Concord Pharmacy is located at 10220 Route 60 in Fredonia (previously Verizon) and accepts most insurance plans. Hours are 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays. Its number is 716- 672-8400.
