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

Camp Merz Introduces New Features This Summer
Keeping The Faith
Contributed Article Allegheny Highlands Council
Camp Merz, a nationally accredited and “A” rated BSA camp on the shores of Chautauqua Lake, received some friendly help this year from the Hultquist and Sheldon Foundation. Hultquist provided funding for the camp to provide a highly popular program offered first at the National Jamboree in 2013 called bowtrap, or skeet archery by some. It is a thrower that shoots out 8 inch foam disks that the archer tries to hit with his arrow. The object, to hit the flying disk, sounds easy, right? It definitely takes practice, and the scouts love it.
Scouts at Camp Merz taking aim with Bowtrap, a fun new program feature that test’s archery skills with moving targets.
Also, this summer the camp has purchased 3 sunfish sailboats, which are the consummate one-man sailboat to learn on. This has been provided through the generosity of the Sheldon Foundation. It has helped expand our aquatic program nicely. In addition to sailing, the scouts can canoe, learn rowboating, kayaking, paddleboarding, motorboating and waterskiing. Camp Merz experienced their seventh

Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org
Dear Pastor, I’m a new Christian and I hear different opinions about drinking alcohol. Some say, “absolutely not!” while others say, “it’s okay as long as we don’t get drunk”. What’s up? Your question brings up an issue that has floated around the Body of Christ for a long time. Because the Bible doesn’t come right out and say drinking alcohol is sin, we must examine what God does say, and come to the best conclusion that we can.
First, it’s clear that we’re not to be drunk or a heavy drinker. Ephesians 5:18 indicates, “And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Another translation (NLT) says not to be drunk because “it will ruin your life.” There are many other scriptures which warn Christians not to get drunk including 1 Col. 5:11, Rom. 13:13, and Gal. 5:17. Chapter 1 in Titus gives us the qualifications of a church elder (a person in a position of authority) including not being “given to wine” or in other words, a heavy drinker. Another area of consideration is that we are to be an example or a witness to others. In Romans 14 the Apostle Paul indicates that we’re to consider those weaker than us when making decisions about how we live our lives. Romans 14:21 says that it is not good to “… eat meat or drink wine or do anything by which your brother stumbles, or is offended or is made weak.” Basically, this chapter is warning us to not destroy our good
example as a follower of Christ by giving someone weaker an excuse to sin. So, let’s put this in context. You must decide what kind of example you want to be and how important alcohol is in your life. While you may “not be drinking to get drunk”, it can happen. If the legal limit for a DWI is approximately 2 drinks per hour, is one only halfdrunk? If even one glass of wine is “relaxing”, that means it is having a chemical effect on your body. Do you really need alcohol to socialize or relax? These are questions that you must ask yourself as well as pray to God for wisdom and understanding. If you’re truly seeking to do God’s will, He will reveal what’s right for you, and then be prepared to faithfully follow your convictions.

Safety Village Offers Birthday Parties, Open to the Public Day, Babysitting & CPRr Courses this Summer The Chautauqua Children’s Safety Education Village has a number of offerings that the community can take advantage of this summer: • “Open to the Public” day will take place on August 15th, 2017. Children in grades Pre-K-6 are invited tocome learn first hand about traffic, bike & fire safety. Our Fire Safety Training allows children to learn in a hands-on environment to teach them the importance of having 2 ways out of every room in your house, choosing a meeting place with your family, and creating an escape plan. They will participate in a simulation within our mock home to implement an escape that involves crawling on their hands and knees under simulated smoke where there is clean air to breathe, feeling a custom-made door which heats to 106 degrees to let children experience what it feels like to have fire on the other side of the door, how to climb out of the bedroom window down an escape ladder and then go to their meeting place. Traffic & bike safety lessons begin in the classroom where children are taught about sign recognition, rules of the road, pedestrian safety and crosswalk safety. They get the opportunity to drive miniature cars, or ride bikes throughout the Village as they demonstrate their knowledge of street signs, hand signals, allowing pedestrians to cross in front of them, and stopping at the railroad tracks to look and listen for a train. The program includes outdoor training which will take place rain or shine, unless the weather is extreme. Please have children dress appropriately. Students must wear gym shoes and rain coats as necessary. There are 2 classes to chooses from, 9:3011:30AM and 12:30-2:30PM. Cost is $7.00 per child. Parents are free and welcome to stay.

Front Doors and
First Impressions By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
When we first moved into our current home just short of two years ago, I knew right away what color I wanted to paint our doors. There were three exterior doors and a shed to be painted, and I was beyond positive that I wanted them to match. I picked a beautiful light blue, that some would say is aqua, some might think is teal, and even mint green would be considered an okay guess. The color was perfect, it was basically my favorite color on a door, (or three) and it coordinated well with the house. It went well with any holiday decor, but it also never really 'popped.' I'm sure at least some reading can fully understand what I mean when I say that there's a huge difference between a color that coordinates and a color that pops. A color that really draws your eye in. Something that has just the right balance between coordinating and contrasting. Fast forward a year and a half. With a little backstory thrown in. I have always liked pink doors, but never thought my husband would go for them. Some people would read that and say, just do it anyways! That's not us though, we are 100% a team. He lives here, too. With that, comes sharing opinions and agreeing on things. Of course there are times when we both compromise or yield to the other, especially when it's something that isn't a huge deal to one of us. Usually I make the majority of our home decor decisions, but a pink door was something I wanted to run by him first.
I had pinned multiple shades of pink doors to my 'home' board on 'Pinterest,' and there were a couple with similar gray siding that I just loved looking at. They were pleasing to the eye. Well, I showed him a few pictures, and after the initial shock he agreed that it actually looked fantastic. Fast forward to present time again. Last week I had to go down to the basement for something, and spotted a can of paint that was leftover from painting our daughter's nursery in our old home. The lightbulb went off. You can clearly see what happened from here. First I tried it out on the back door to see how it
would look from the outside, against our siding. We had more paint in case it looked terrible, because I had bought some to replace the spilled can from a few weeks ago... It was a perfect fit. Our boys are still coming around to the idea of having that much pink on our house. My only regret is not having done it sooner. If you've been on the fence about painting your own doors, give it a shot! Don't forget that you can use Pinterest to find ideas or examples of what you already have in mind. As always, thanks for reading and happy painting from HBK!

Horrigan Stresses Sun Safety As Part Of His 100 Days Of Summer Safety Campaign INDIVIDUALS ENCOURAGED TO PROTECT THEIR SKIN FROM UV RADIATION Contributed Article Office of the County Executive
Chautauqua County Executive Vince Horrigan recently visited Wright Park Beach in Dunkirk to announce sun safety tips as part of his 100 Days of Summer Safety Campaign. “Chautauqua County is a beautiful place to explore during the summer months as it provides many recreational opportunities for residents and visitors,” said Horrigan. “Whether you are boating, hiking, attending a festival, or just relaxing in the sun, I urge individuals to take precautions to protect their skin when they are outdoors.” “It is important to let everyone know about the danger of staying out in the sun too long,” said City of Dunkirk Mayor Willie Rosas. “I commend Vince for bringing this important issue to our residents so they know how to properly protect themselves.” The sun produces ultraviolet (UV) rays that can cause skin damage. Skin that is left unprotected or repeatedly exposed to the sun can lead to sunburn, skin aging, eye damage and even skin cancer. Basal and squamous cell skin cancers are the most common of all types of cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates that about 3.3 million Americans are diagnosed each year with basal and squamous cell skin cancers. These types of skin cancer are very common and are usually very treatable. Another form of skin cancer is melanoma. Although melanoma is less common, it causes a majority of skin cancer deaths. For 2017, the American Cancer Society estimates that 87,110 people will be diagnosed with melanoma and about 9,730 will die from it. “Simply staying in the shade is one of the best ways to limit your UV exposure,” said Mike Porpiglia, Relay For Life Manager, Centralized Support, American Cancer Society, Inc. “If you are going to be in the sun, just remember “Slip! Slop! Slap!® and Wrap” for the key steps in protecting yourself from UV rays: slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen SPF 30 or higher, slap on a hat, wrap on sunglasses to protect the eyes and skin around them. Much more information is available at cancer.org/ sunsafety.” To prevent overexposure to UV radiation, individuals can protect themselves and their families by: • Limiting sun exposure—The hours between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. are the most hazardous for UV exposure outdoors. If possible, avoid outdoor activities during this time period. If it is necessary to be outside during these hours, individuals should be sure to seek shade and utilize other sun safety tips. • Avoiding burning and indoor tanning—Whether tanning or burning, individuals are exposing themselves to harmful UV rays that damage their skin. A tan is evidence that UV rays have damaged the skin and every time individuals tan they are increasing their risk of melanoma. • Seeking shade—While outdoors, individuals can protect their skin by seeking shade under a tree, umbrella, or covered porch. • Wearing sun-protective clothing—Individuals can protect their eyes and skin by wearing sunglasses, long-sleeved shirts, pants or long skirts, and a “We did not want to live in a senior apartment wide-brim hat that shades their face, head, ears and neck. building.

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, 2017
Enjoying life after Take a Walk on the Wild Side The participants of the Chautauqua Adult Day Services Senior Day programs took time to celebrate a picnic on July 26th at Midway Park in Maple Springs. For the last 22 years Chautauqua Adult Day Services has held a picnic at Midway Park with great food, live music and a theme, for all four sites serving Chautauqua County. This year’s theme was “Take a Walk on the Wild Side”. The pavilions were decorated highlighting the theme of the picnic and decorations were displayed all over the picnic areas. Decorations were made by the participants. The Chautauqua Works youth program assisted with decorations and helped us throughout the day. As a special novelty, participants and guests were able to have a picture taken in a Safari Jeep which was made by the Dunkirk Participants. Over 200 people attended the picnic which took place in two pavilions. Participants, family members, friends and dignitaries attended the event. We were
honored to have Jacklyn Phelps represent Congressman Reed, Assemblyman Andrew Goodell, and Office for the Aging Director Maryanne Spanos. The Dignitaries are all longtime supporters of the agency and support programs that help older adults remain at home and independent. Live music was provided by “Happy Days”. Everyone had fun dancing and singing along to old time favorites. A donation was made by ST. James Christian Community Center to cover the cost of the pavilions. Karen Lucks, Associate Director commented, “With funding very limited for such events that seniors enjoy, the agency is grateful to all who help in any way. Many of the people who attend our program never get the opportunity to participate in such a fun event. Seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces shows the true value of having the picnic. Everyone looks forward to the picnic each year and it is one of the agency’s most enjoyed activities.”
The Chautauqua Adult Day Services also worked together with the Jamestown Area Meals on Wheels and the Retired Senior Volunteer Program, Office for Aging, & Carts to help provide an all around good time for the participants. The Chautauqua Adult Day Services is a not for profit United Way Partner. The mission of the agency is to provide an affordable day program that helps older adults remain independent and at home. For over 34 years, Chautauqua Adult Day Services has provided day programs that enable seniors to have quality of life through socialization and activity programming in a caring, friendly atmosphere. Activities include pet therapy, ceramics, music programs, arts and crafts and a community recreation program, just to name a few. In addition, the agency now has a Saturday Program in Jamestown that focuses on participants being involved in community events. Senior day programs

FINANCIAL 17 Good Credit? Bad Debt Management?
Contributed Article NewsUSA
It's a widely-held misconception that those with good credit have a better grasp of managing their finances. In a recent consumer survey from Marcus by Goldman SachsÂŽ*, 34 percent of consumers with good credit (FICO 660 and above) are in credit card debt and 41 percent view credit card debt as an area they wished they had more control over. Even those with good or excellent credit -- a score of 660 FICO or above -- can be prone to the cycle of high-interest credit card debt that includes variable interest rates and hidden fees. It's enough to make anyone feel like debt resolution is out of reach. For most of the population, it's much easier to get into debt than it is to get out of it. According to NerdWallet's 2016 American Household Credit Card Debt Study, the average household with credit card debt has balances totaling $16,748**. Everyday expenses and unexpected costs like braces for the kids, a leaky roof or a hot water heater breaking can affect everyone. For many, it's easy to fall behind and resort to high-interest credit cards as a solution. Debt, particularly credit card debt, can be deeply stressful for people carrying a seemingly endless balance month over month. This stress, combined with the deep-rooted stigma around talking about credit card debt, leaves many people feeling like they have limited options to help them better manage their finances. The consumer survey by Marcus by Goldman Sachs also uncovered surprising numbers surrounding the struggles Americans with good credit have with credit card debt. Many are unaware of alternative options that can help address their credit card debt and turn to increasingly desperate measures for assistance. Thirty-four percent would consider selling off household items to help with payments and 38 percent would consider turning to a second job. However, there are other solutions that can help eliminate the revolving cycle of credit card debt. One viable alternative is a fixed-rate, no fee personal loan, available from Marcus by Goldman Sachs. Loans range from $3,500 to $30,000 to eligible consumers with good or excellent credit (FICO 660 and above). Loan terms range for three to six years and interest rates range from 6.99 percent to 23.99 percent. Marcus offers U.S.-based dedicated loan specialists who deliver live, personalized support. On Marcus.com you can also find a savings calculator to help you estimate your savings over high-interest variable credit card debt without affecting your credit score. So, explore your debt management options -- whether you want to consolidate debt, or simply need a loan that works for you. *The Marcus by Goldman Sachs Debt Survey was conducted between November 9 and November 16, 2016 among 1,000 nationally representative Americans ages 22 and over, using an e-mail invitation and an online survey. **NerdWallet's 2016 American Household Credit Card Debt Study is based on data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Census Bureau.

Championing the Right to Age Well Contributed Article NewsUSA
In 1967, one of today's most iconic runners made her mark in history. Despite an angry official who tried to push her off the course of the Boston Marathon, Kathrine Switzer defiantly ran on, broke barriers and became the first woman to officially complete the legendary race. Today, at the age of 70, Switzer continues to defy the odds. This year, she ran the 26.2mile Boston Marathon again to celebrate the 50th anniversary of her historic milestone and continued to inspire others to break new ground. She also announced a partnership with the health and well-being company, Humana, to help celebrate seniors, encourage them to take an optimistic view of aging, and live healthy, active lifestyles. "When the Boston Marathon
race director tried to shove me off the course in 1967, my life's purpose was crystalized. I knew I wanted to be a champion for others committed to blazing their own path," Switzer says. "I'm working with Humana to inspire seniors to achieve their best health, so they can experience all that life has to offer." Switzer shared tips on how she maintains an optimistic outlook on aging, and why she believes that great things are ahead when your health is ready -- no matter what age you are! Don't let your age define you. The biggest tip is to realize that you're never too old, too slow or too out-of-shape to begin living an active lifestyle. Whether it's walking the dog a bit further than usual, or taking a swim at the local health club -; finding ways to get active can help you live healthier and be more optimistic.
Take it one step at a time. Allow time to adjust to a new routine. Start small and build on your efforts in small intervals. Listen to your body and be proud of your progress. Two is better than one. To help you stay motivated, get a buddy who has similar fitness goals. If a buddy is waiting for you, you won't worry about being embarrassed or feeling slow; it'll just be the two of you. There are few things greater than sharing victories and accomplishments with someone close. Make time for rest. Equally as important as staying active is ensuring that your body recovers from the stress endured from physical activity. Not only will your body thank you, but you will grow to love your active lifestyle more without aches and pains holding you back. Switzer recently took her message to the National Senior Games presented by Humana,
one example of how the company is committed to championing seniors and breaking barriers -- namely, the stereotypes associated with seniors in today's society -- and proving that with a healthy body and mind, age is truly just a number. While at the Games, she participated in the 10K Road Race in a celebratory role and presented an inspiring and encouraging speech at the Celebration of Athletes. In addition to being a fierce advocate for seniors and optimistic aging, Switzer has been a lifelong advocate for women runners in general. In 1972, she co-founded the first women's-only road race; in 1984, she led the drive to get the women's marathon into the Olympic Games; and in 2015, she founded 261 Fearless, a global non-profit that empowers and connects women through the transformative action of running, and encouraging them to overcome life
obstacles and embrace healthy living. "I think optimism is everything and you don't have to be a marathon runner to possess it," Switzer says. "The more you do, the more you can do!"
5 Tips for Balancing Family, Work and Education Contributed Article StatePoint
It’s an age-old conundrum. To advance professionally, often one must go back to school. However, earning a degree might seem like an insurmountable challenge because of the demands of a current job. Experts say that more education is not only advantageous, but downright necessary in certain industries, particularly where technology is changing the playing field. For instance, Hannah Hughes, Dean of Nursing at Strayer University points out that, “The impact of technology on healthcare continues to evolve the practice of nursing, and there is currently a technology skills gap among some nurses. Today’s nurses should be preparing themselves to operate in this dynamic technologically-rich environment.”
What’s more, Hughes notes, is that like many industries, advanced degrees and certifications in nursing can have a high impact on a career advancement, enhancing one’s credibility, marketability and earning potential. If you find yourself wanting or needing to go back to school, these tips can help create a good life-study balance. • Don’t be a one-man band. Take advantage of the educational support systems provided by your school, such as tutoring, writing assistance, career services, technical support and oncampus activities. Figure out where your “pain points” are and create your own support networks. Form a babysitting share with other parents in your classes to alleviate the financial burden of childcare or create a virtual study group to prepare for exams. • Identify short study windows. Maximize downtime whenever you have it. Have an infant? Read your
assignments out loud to your child. Are your children enrolled in sports? Read assignments during practices or at halftimes. On the job? Study on your lunch break. • Select a program wisely. Look for programs designed to make it easy for busy, working people to earn degrees. For example, Strayer University offers the flexibility to learn online or in a classroom, students are matched with personal Success Coaches to help them balance responsibilities, and classes begin four times a year, offering degreeseekers greater flexibility. For these reasons, their online RN to BSN degree program, for example, accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, can be a good fit for working nurses with demanding shifts. To learn more, visit www.Strayer.edu/bsn. “Selecting a program that understands the actual demands of your field and the evolving priorities of your employer, can help you apply your knowledge
now and meet professional goals later,” says Hughes. • Stay up-to-date in your field. Be a more efficient, successful student and professional by staying current on your evolving industry. For example, nurses can brush up on healthcare informatics, as well as understand how changes to healthcare policy will impact the way they deliver care. • Laugh often. All work and no play doesn’t make Jack a dull boy – it makes him tired and ineffectual. Take time for loved ones who make you laugh and keep up with your favorite funny podcasts. It’s helpful to keep your sense of humor as you take on another responsibility. Whether you’re a teacher, a nurse, work for a company, or are in business for yourself, an advanced degree can offer you greater job satisfaction and earning potential, and the right program and study habits can make it a manageable challenge.

"There's a slow shift from brown asphalt roofs to black," says Jeff Dross, corporate director of education and industry trends for Kichler Lighting. "We're moving from beige siding to dove gray or light gray siding, and the stone is going from a brown to a grayer tone. Because of that shift, the color black actually looks a lot nicer.

HORRIGAN STRESSES SUN SAFETY AS PART OF HIS 100 DAYS OF SUMMER SAFETY CAMPAIGN, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10

Individuals with lighter-toned skin are more susceptible to UV damage, although people of all races and ethnicities can be at risk for skin cancer. Individuals may also have a higher risk of developing skin cancer if they have a family or personal history of skin cancer, are exposed to the sun through work or play, or have a history of indoor tanning. A sign of skin cancer could be a change in your skin such as a new growth, a sore that doesn’t heal, or a change in a mole. A simple way to remember the possible signs of melanoma is to remember the ABCDEs of melanoma: • “A” stands for asymmetrical. Does the mole or spot have an irregular shape? • “B” stands for border. Is the border irregular or jagged? • “C” is for color. Is the color uneven or in different shades? • “D” is for diameter. Is the mole or spot larger than the size of a pea? • “E” is for evolving. Has the mole or spot changed in size, shape or color during the past few weeks or months? If a mole or spot on your skin exhibits any of these characteristics or if you are unsure about a mole, be sure to discuss it with your doctor. “I am a skin cancer survivor,” said Christine Schuy-

ler, Chautauqua County Director of Health and Human Services. “Fortunately, the lesion that wouldn’t heal below my eye in 2008 turned out to be basil cell carcinoma and was completely removed with surgery. Sunscreen wasn’t something that I knew of growing up, and I had some significant sunburns. Now I don’t leave the house without sunscreen on and have a nice hat collection. Please protect yourself and those you care about from sun exposure and skin cancer!” The 100 Days of Summer Safety Campaign was announced by Horrigan in May and it challenges residents to practice safety from Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend. During the months of June, July, and August, he will partner with county officials to raise awareness about important safety tips and precautions for residents and visitors to take while they enjoy family vacations and recreational activities this summer. “By making safety a top priority this summer, residents can help do their part in preventing tragedies such as automobile, motorcycle, bicycle or boating accidents,” said Horrigan. “Residents are encouraged to make it their mission to be responsible, be aware of their surroundings, address safety issues and educate others on practicing safety. By stressing safety during these summer months, it is my hope that residents will get into the habit of making safety their number one priority and continue to practice safety all year long.”

Travel for Boomers Made Easier With AARP Contributed Article NewsUSA
These days, travel for baby boomers can be challenging. But AARP wants to make everyone's road to their favorite destinations quicker and more enjoyable through their new website, travel.aarp.org. Multiple studies cite travel as the top aspirational activity for individuals ages 50 and over. And, recent research conducted by AARP shows that approximately 80 percent of people 50-plus spend between 30 and 36 hours a year researching, planning and booking their trips online. Ideally, they would prefer to spend about 12-18 hours per year doing so. Additionally, they spend about 18 hours a year online booking these trips, when they would rather spend 12 hours on this. The nature of travel for boomers is diverse and includes business trips, visiting family members and taking exotic getaways. But online travel planning for any trip can be tedious, with time-consuming tasks of visiting many websites to get information to plan and book a trip. The new AARP Travel website offers a one-stop shop to plan, book, and share a trip -- be it a quick weekend getaway or a longer vacation. Anyone can explore the site, which pulls together content, tools and features -- making each step both fun and easy. The site's articles and tips are particularly geared toward helping people 50-plus think about fun ideas on where they may want to go, including food festivalthemed trips, places to reimagine their lives and must-see international destinations. The site also offers more practical information such as saving money, locating accommodations for special health needs and managing safety concerns. The site's interactive tools were designed to make the planning process easier and more delightful. If a user would like more ideas on places to go, AARP has created a "Trip Finder" tool that offers suggestions. Destination Guides include key information and details about specific locales, including suggested things to do. Within each guide, a detailed "Map Explorer" function shows users street-level details of an area's hotels, restaurants and attractions that can then be saved to "My Saved Trips," where users can save personalized itineraries and build upon them each time they return and log in. For more information and travel tips for individuals 50-plus and their families, visit travel.aarp.org.

Waldameer Already Preparing for 2018 INCLUDING SPECIAL NEW SEASON PASS OFFERING Contributed Article Waldameer Park & Water World
Waldameer Park & Water World, located at the entrance to Presque Isle State Park in Erie PA, has demonstrated that through detailed planning, investment in growth and hands-on management, a family owned and operated amusement/water park can survive and thrive. Over the years, both the amusement park and water park have seen numerous improvements and the addition of many new attractions. Most recently the water park debuted its new “Battle of Lake Erie” Water Playground in July of 2017. This $2.5 million investment offers seven body slides, two large tipping buckets and over 100 other water features to allow the entire family to
share a fun and refreshing respite from the summer heat. In 2018 two new major additions will join the Park’s roster of attractions.
Pro-Slide Cannonbowl 30
In WaterWorld, a new ProSlide Cannonbowl 30 will be added to the water park’s list of existing slides. This twoperson tube slide provides riders with a centrifugal experience as they travel
down a slide then move into a “bowl” at high speed causing them to stay glued to the wall circling the perimeter multiple times. As they lose speed, the tube and its passengers move to the center of the bowl where they quickly exit into the splash down pool below. Work is set to begin on the Cannonbowl as soon as the Park closes for the season in 2017. The amusement park will also see growth in 2018 with the addition of a new Zamperla Samba Balloon Ride. This family ride features 8 brightly colored balloons with baskets, designed to resemble hot-air balloons. Each individual balloon basket, or car, holds up to 4 passengers. The basket spins its passengers as all 8 balloons rotate and rise and fall on a main axis. This Balloon Ride, as well as the Cannonbowl slide, are expected to be ready for the
Zamperla Samba Balloon Ride
opening of the Park’s 2018 season. As additions and improvements continue to be made to the Park, subsequent growth has been seen in their Season Pass Sales. Waldameer & Water World Season Passes were first made available in 2010. Since then the number of people taking advantage of the incredible value of these passes has steadily increased. A Season Pass allows the holder to ride, slide and utilize the Wave Pool, Kidz Zone, Battle of Lake Erie, Relaxing Pool and Endless River, as much as they like any day the park is open. This year, for the first time, Waldameer is trying something different with a special Season Pass offer. This offer will allow anyone who did not purchase a 2017 Season Pass to purchase a 2018 Season Pass in full now and, beginning August 20th, use their 2018 Season Pass for the remainder of the 2017 season. So the pass will be good not only for the entire 2018 season, but also this season, any day the Park is open from August 20th through Labor Day. A season pass is definitely the way to go for anyone who enjoys visiting the Park more than a couple times a season. Plus if it’s just the kids that ride and need the Season Pass, Waldameer still maintains a no gate charge policy, allowing parents or grandparents the ability to come into the amusement park at no cost and enjoy watching the kids have fun. There is a charge to enter the water park. All of Waldameer’s parking is free. Learn more at waldameer.com.

Golfer's
D i a ry
Paying The Greens Fee By Contributing Writer Stefan Gestwicki
Every golf course is different. That’s not news to anyone who has played the sport. The lengths vary. Certain courses are flatter or hillier than others. Some courses have bunkers while others don’t. Even the types of grass in the fairways and roughs can make a huge difference from course to course. You’d be hard-pressed to make me believe, however, that any of those factors make as big of a difference than how a course maintains its greens. Never was this more evident than when Nick and I took the short drive out to Westfield to play at Pinehurst Golf Club. The course is owned by the Swanson family, whom I just love. These guys love sports and truly care about their course (and the golfers who come there). With no one in front of or behind us, we decided to hit a few balls on the practice green before we got started. Well, it’s a good thing we did because my first practice putt zipped right past the hole and actually went all the way onto the fringe… on a practice putt. Yikes. It was at that moment that I knew we were in for a tough putting day. Nick and I had really only played at Hillview, Cassadaga Country Club, Vineyards and Rose Brook this year. All of those places have greens of various speeds, but nothing quite like Pinehurst. Now, in fairness, all of the courses have “true” greens. That means that the ball goes the way you want it to. What you see is what you get. Everyone appreciates that. Some people like fast greens. Some people like slower greens. Everyone likes true greens. Personally, I don’t dislike quick greens. It often feels like you have more control when you don’t have to put much power behind your putts. When you’re not used to quick greens, however, they can really eat you up. Nick and I learned that the hard way. On the front nine holes, I had four (4!!!) three-putts. I’m not sure I had four threeputts the rest of the season combined. I shot an obscene 52 on the front. I hadn’t broken 50 in recent memory. And I wasn’t even striking the ball poorly. It was almost entirely putts. I just couldn’t get the speed down. I did have a one-putt on No. 9. From that moment on, it was as if someone flipped a switch. Suddenly I could putt again. The back nine was far closer to what I’m capable of. Even with a slightly junky start (bogey, bogey, double bogey), I was able to shoot a 43 the second time through. The back nine at Pinehurst really does feel like a different course. Some of the holes change from par 4’s to par 5’s (and vice versa). The tee boxes change position quite a bit. I highly recommend playing the full 18 if you go to the course. One other note from this round is this: Golf shoes matter. I somehow forgot to
throw my golf shoes in with my clubs and had to play in sneakers. I used to exclusively play in old sneakers, but once I tried golf shoes, I never went back. They make such a big difference. If you don’t have some and want to improve your game, golf shoes would be a good start. These next three weeks are going to be critical for me. My first child is on the way at the end of August. I have a few more weeks of guilt-free golf until the responsibilities of real life set in. Don’t get me wrong, I’m ecstatic beyond belief to be a father, but I’m going to squeeze in as much golf as possible before then. Either way, expect to hear about lots of golf coming up. But don’t be surprised if the Golf Diaries abruptly cut off. Until then, golf is great. Go get some.

28 AUTO TIPS AND TRICKS

Will a Fleet of Chevy Bolt Cars Debut in 2018?
Contributed Article Autotrader
Last year, General Motors dropped one buzzworthy bombshell -- it would be partnering with ridesharing company Lyft to create a fleet of self-driving cars. Now, the automotive giant is upping its game. According to sources who spoke to Reuters, GM is planning to deploy thousands of automated Chevy Bolt hatchbacks beginning next year. Nuts and Bolts If the buzz is true, this is expected to be the largest such test of fully autonomous
vehicles by any major carmaker before 2020, when several companies have announced plans to begin building and deploying such vehicles in bigger numbers. Because of this partnership with the ridesharing service, it doesn't seem like GM has plans to sell this autonomous car to individual customers. According to sources, Lyft will test the new fleets in several states. But, either way, swapping out regular cars with autonomous vehicles could cut down on driver and passenger deaths. In 2016, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) chairman said that autonomous vehicles could save approximately 32,000 lives every year. "Most crashes on our roads are due to driver error," he pointed out. And with "no driver, there will be no driver error." Driverless cars would tackle issues including "fatigue, distraction, impairment and fitness for duty," and would improve "collision avoidance technolo-
gies." Staying Mum Lyft hasn't commented on the Chevy Bolt rumor, and GM released a statement: "We do not provide specific details on potential future products or
technology rollout plans. We have said that our AV technology will appear in an on-demand ridesharing network application sooner than you might think." For Bolt enthusiasts, 2018 may not come soon enough.
I Wish More Cars Had the Toyota 4Runner's Cool Rear Window Contributed Article Autotrader
Here's a little fact for you: The Toyota 4Runner, a car purchased by people who believe they'll go off-road, even though they're actually middle managers at a company that uses a plus sign in its name, has a rear window that rolls down. By this, I don't mean the rear windows roll down. I mean the window inside the tailgate rolls down, automatically, with the push of a button up front. The 4Runner has always had this feature. It's amazing. I was driving the other day, and I saw a guy in a 4Runner with his window down, chillin', doin' his window-down thing, and it hit me: Why doesn't the window in the back of my car go down? Why doesn't the window in the back of all cars go down? I now want this feature on every single car in existence, including sedans. Here's how it works in the 4Runner: You climb inside, you put down your little driver or passenger window, and you're happy. But you have a dog in the cargo area. Or maybe you want a little more air flowing through the cabin. You drop the window in the far back and suddenly the whole thing feels like a convertible. OK, sort of. OK, not at all. But it does feel more open and freeing, which is a very nice feel-
ing when you're leaving Reynold+Dynamic+Venture +Quest+LLC after a day spent arguing with Megan in the cubicle next to yours. A few other cars do have this feature. The old Jeep Grand Wagoneer has a roll-down back window. The Toyota Tundra and Sequoia have it, too. And I was recently in traffic next to a Ford Explorer Sport Trac, which also lets you drop the back window for more airflow. I'm sure there are a few more, but that's generally all I can think of. Why is this? One reason, of course, is that it adds complexity and cost to the whole experience. Complexity is obvious: A former fixed part now rolls down, and you can no longer stick a windshield wiper on it. So now the wiper has to stay on the tailgate, and the window
must have rather large motors to roll down, since it's presumably quite heavy. All for a feature most people will never use. But I will use it. I will use it every single day. If I had a roll-down back window, I'd be in my car right now, skipping work, cruising around with my window down, thumbing my nose at fixed-window losers. If you build it, I will come. Come on, automakers. Get rid of this "fixed window" crap and give us the good stuff! While I'm dreaming, I would also like a million dollars.
