JESSIE C. WILSON TRUST SUPPORTS WESTFIELD MEMORIAL HOSPITAL FOUNDATION’S RED CAMPAIGN Contributed Article
Local philanthropists Janice and Ralph Wilson, along with other members of the Jessie C. Wilson Memorial Charitable Trust, demonstrated their commitment to Westfield Memorial Hospital (WMH) when they recently presented a $10,000 gift to the WMH Foundation Annual/ RED (Renovate our Emergency Department) Campaign, now in its second year. The Jessie C. Wilson Memorial Charitable Trust was formed for the purpose of gifting to local and area non-profit organizations and charities that serve to educate, nurture and encourage others. It was established in the name of Ralph Wilson’s mother, Jessie C. Wilson, a gentle, kind, Christian woman who was active throughout her 73 years in her church, the Westfield school system and the Westfield Memorial Hospital Gray Ladies.

Overwhelming Enthusiasm for JHS After School Chess Club Contributed Article JPS
Every Wednesday afternoon at Jamestown High School from 3 to 4 p.m., you can hear the hum of “check” and “checkmate” in room 103; 24 students from grades nine through twelve are playing chess. Henry Malarkey, a senior who has spent the last six years trying to beat his father at the game, and his brother Ryan, a freshman, thought that other students might be interested in the game and revived the defunct club. They gathered up five chessboards, asked English teacher Barbi Price to be the advisor, made an announcement, and waited. They were met with overwhelming enthusiasm from the JHS student body. Each week, more and more students have come to play, and the club has had to find more boards to accommodate the players. The focus of the JHS Chess Club is to promote the game of chess and provide both an environment for experienced
chess players to gather to improve their abilities and an opportunity for inexperienced players and newcomers to learn the game. “Chess teaches you to anticipate potential threats and use problem-solving skills to deal with them strategically,” stated Henry. “The club has grown significantly since we started it.” Ryan added, “There’s an App called ‘Chess.com’ that teaches you how to play regardless of your level. It has lessons and videos and you can play against other people. It’s helped me improve my game.” “The notion of promoting chess fits in well with Jamestown High School’s mission of promoting general intellectual capability,” remarked Mrs. Price. “Furthermore, the Chess Club places special emphasis on helping others learn how to play, inclusiveness and good sportsmanship.” Players will compete each semester in a school chess tournament with the first competition to begin in January. The winner will receive a gift certificate.

COMMUNITY Keeping The Faith
Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org
Dear Pastor, my grandfather has cancer. Why would God do this? I’m so sorry for your situation. But please be assured that even though you may believe that God created your grandfather’s sickness, it isn’t true. If we look in the Bible we see that God consistently defines Himself as a good and loving Father. And of course, if He only has good things ( James 1:17) then surely, cancer doesn’t qualify! So why would we believe that God could do this? Our emotions and think-
ing may seek to justify sickness as some kind of testing of our character or a “teaching opportunity” to make us more compassionate or wise. Or, I have even heard that it means God thinks we’re special or need to be stronger for the tasks ahead. While this sounds “religious”, it goes against the consistent Biblical truth about God’s self-defined character. If someone comes to me with this kind of thinking, I will simply ask them, “Would you treat your precious child this way?” God defines Himself as a good God in John 10:11, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” Now THAT sounds like a loving God who would never hurt His children in order to “teach” them anything. So if God doesn’t bring sickness, where does it come from? It’s interesting to see that John 10:11 is preceded by John 10:10 which declares that, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it more abundantly.” This

Board of Elections is Printing Ballots Prop Side Up Contributed Article Chautauqua County Board of Elections
“Don’t Forget To Turn Over Your Ballot on Nov. 7th!” is the rally cry across New York State this year as groups attempt to increase voter participation for the once every 20-year up or down vote to hold a constitution convention to review or re-write our state’s governing document. Except that in Chautauqua County voters will not be turning the ballot
over, but instead the Board of Elections printed the Nov. 7 ballot proposition side up for voters. It is believed that our county, which prints its own ballots inhouse saving taxpayers nearly $50.000 each budget year, is the only county in the state providing this option. There are three proposals on the ballot this year that allow for a yes or no vote. If the voter skips the vote, it neither helps nor hurts the results. • Ballot Proposal 1: The New York Constitution does provide for an automatic ballot referral for a

Little Explorers Learn About Squirrels at Audubon SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 11 Contributed Article Audubon Community Nature Center
Squirrels in this region come in a variety of shapes and sizes. On Saturday, November 11, 10-11:30 a.m., you and the three- to eight-year-old child(ren) in your life can learn about squirrels through artifacts, stories, and a walk outside. You will learn what squirrels live here, how they are similar and different, and go outside to look for some of them or signs of where they have been. The biggest squirrels in the region usually live underground and the smallest ones soar through the treetops. Though related, squirrels have different adaptations to help them survive. Some hibernate for the winter, while others stay active through the cold months. Squirrels eat everything from nuts to frogs. Learn all this and more when you attend the program. After a lesson inside, the group will head for a hike

How to Pick a Retirement Account Contributed Article StatePoint
Whether you’re starting your career, approaching retirement or you’re somewhere in between, it’s important to understand the various options available to help you reach your retirement goals. Even if you are already investing in a 401(k) or other retirement plan, contributing to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) can help you diversify your investments and provide an additional tax-advantaged savings plan, say experts. “There are some important differences between Roth and Traditional IRAs that all retirement planners should keep in mind,” says Mary Ellen Hancock, a senior wealth strategist with PNC Wealth Management. Hancock says to consider the following three things, when choosing a retirement account. Tax Rates Will your taxes be higher now or later? On the face of it, the decision appears to be straightforward, Hancock explains. If you expect your tax rate will be lower when you retire, a

traditional account may offer you more spendable income for retirement. If you expect your tax rate will be higher than it is now or the same upon retirement, a Roth account may provide you with more spendable income later. The challenge is that there is no way to know what future tax rates will be, and even if you had a crystal ball, other factors at play should also be considered.
Income and Expenses “Understanding your spending before you retire can help you have a smoother and more successful transition as you begin your next chapter,” says Hancock. “It’s important to assess what income and expenses may be eliminated when you retire and what new expenses may be added.” Hancock explains that working with a financial advisor
can help you estimate your post-retirement budget. However, it’s important to keep in mind that withdrawing from a traditional account to pay for unexpected expenses during retirement can result in unpleasant consequences, such as higher Medicare premiums, more of your Social Security benefits being taxed or raising your tax bracket. On the other hand, qualified withdrawals
from Roth accounts are taxfree and should not affect your taxable income or treatment of Medicare and Social Security benefits. Required Minimum Distributions “Roth options may have some advantages over traditional accounts, as you do not need to start withdrawing at age 70 1/2,” says Hancock. “Traditional accounts, both 401(k) s and IRAs, require you to withdraw money once you reach that age, which limits the account’s growth potential.” For many individuals, using both Roth and traditional accounts may help address some of the uncertainty over your future tax bracket and whether your spending needs may change. There are IRA contribution limits set each year by the Internal Revenue Service, so it’s important to check with the IRS website, your financial planner or tax advisor on how much you can contribute to each. While no one can plan for every eventuality, understanding your current circumstances and looking ahead can help you make sound investment choices now that can help you reach your retirement goals.

Post-Hurricanes Harvey and Irma HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE NEXT STORM Contributed Article NewsUSA Sponsored by GAF
When did you ever think you'd see much of Houston submerged under several feet of floodwaters? Or more than 6 million Floridians ordered to evacuate in anticipation of a storm that would ultimately prove so monstrous that seemingly anything that wasn't nailed down might turn into what locals called "dangerous flying projectiles?" But both those things just happened as first Hurricane Harvey and then Hurricane Irma laid a path of death and destruction that boggled the mind. "Such a vicious one-two punch hasn't hit the U.S. in over a century," National Geographic reported. And with the official end of hurricane season not until November 30, homeowners can't be blamed for wondering what to do, proactively, to increase their odds of beating future challenges from Mother Nature. Read on for some ideas. • Clean your gutters. Even in perfect weather, Angie's List says you're looking at a possible "nightmare" if they're so clogged with mounds of leaves, sticks, and other debris that it causes your roof to leak. Factor in a hurricane-strength rain-
storm, though, and the very roofing system component meant to control the flow of all that water -thereby protecting your roof, walls, foundation, and landscape from flooding- can be about as useful as a virus-infected laptop. "If you let gutter cleaning go by the wayside, it could cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars," the website warns. • Trim weak tree branches. One of the many tragedies in Texas involved a 60-year-old woman who died when a tree crashed on her home while she slept. That's the extreme end of what can happen. Far more common is wondering how you'll rebuild after the battering your house just took from a fallen branch. And as the New York Times reports, "Tragedy's hand may be unpredictable, but the road to recovery is forged in the language of your homeowner insurance policy, words that will determine how - and if you will be made whole again." • Make sure your roof is in good condition. If you haven't done so already, now's the time to have a professional roofing contractor check for and fix any signs of wear and tear like broken or missing shingles. And since manufacturer's warranties typi-
Homeowners' interest in impact-resistant roofs has surged.
cally don't cover roof damage caused by disasters like hurricanes, you'll also want to review both your own warranty and home insurance policy to fully understand the coverage and any restrictions. "If you are going to replace your roof, consider shingles that have passed the UL2218, Class 4 impact test, the toughest in the industry," says Jason Joplin, program manager of CARE (the GAF Center for the Advancement of Roofing Excellence).
Joplin especially likes the Timberline ArmorShield II line of shingles from GAF (gaf.com), North America's largest roofing manufacturer. In addition to looking good, they're made with SBS modified asphalt, which he describes as "a rubber-like material for enhanced flexibility and durability during extreme weather conditions." Added bonus: Depending on where you live, shingles that pass UL2218, Class 4 impact tests may also qualify for signif-
icant discounts on that homeowners insurance of yours. • Reinforce windows. Four words say it all: flying shards of glass. You don't want them. Which is why the Federal Emergency Management Agency - in describing windows as "particularly vulnerable" - recommends springing for either impactresistant glazing or permanent storm shutters. (A grief-saving tip from FEMA: Tape does not prevent windows from breaking.)
New Music Video Warns of Stroke Signs Contributed Article NewsUSA
The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA), the world's leading voluntary health organization devoted to fighting cardiovascular disease and stroke, is releasing a new parody music video to teach people how to recognize the most common stroke warning signs. Worldwide, stroke is the no. 2 cause of death and a leading cause of serious disability. For the American Stroke Association, raising awareness of stroke is more critical than ever, as new reports indicate that stroke deaths are on the rise.
The song is a parody of the well-known Y.M.C.A song from the 70's. It features a person having a stroke in a diner and the patrons and staff singing about the acronym, F.A.S.T., an easy way to teach people the most common stroke warning signs and to call 9-1-1 during a stroke emergency. "The majority of stroke patients still do not arrive at the Emergency Department quickly enough to receive the care that can dramatically improve their outcomes, in large part because they or those around them do not recognize the warning signs and the importance of calling 9-1-1," says Dr. Mitchell Elkind, chair of the American Stroke Association and professor of Neurology and Epidemiology at Columbia University.

NEW MUSIC VIDEO WARNS OF STROKE SIGNS, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10 "The song is intended to be a lighthearted way of helping people remember F.A.S.T. and to encourage them to call 9-1-1 when someone is experiencing any stroke symptoms." The acronym, F.A.S.T., stands for: • Face Drooping - Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. Is the person's smile uneven? • Arm Weakness - Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? • Speech Difficulty - Is speech slurred? Is the person unable to speak or difficult to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence, such as "The sky is blue." • Time to Call 9-1-1 - If someone shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 9-1-1 and get to a hospital immediately. (Tip: Check the time so you'll know when the first symptoms appeared.) "With today's advanced technology, stroke is more treatable than ever before," says Lee H. Schwamm, M.D., executive vice chair of Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital and American Stroke Association spokesperson. "There are treatments that can help significantly reduce disability and even death in a stroke emergency. Some treatments include drugs that can help dissolve blood clots and medical devices that can remove the clots -; but there's a narrow window of time in which a person can receive treatment." "When it comes to a stroke emergency, one thing always remains true: urgency in calling 9-1-1 is critical. There is no technology that can substitute for time loss. Without oxygen-rich blood, brain cells die. So time loss is brain loss. Receiving immediate, professional help can get you the immediate treatment to greatly improve recovery outcomes," says Schwamm. Education about F.A.S.T is a part of the American Stroke Association's Together to End Stroke initiative, nationally sponsored by Medtronic. Together, the two organizations aim to help people to easily recognize the stroke warning signs to improve stroke outcomes.

The programs are scheduled devices and iOS products for Wednesday, November 15, and Thursday, November 16, while the other seminar on the Lutheran Campus at 715 Falconer Street. focuses on Android/Windows devices and more. The family-friendly program will help people of all ages learn about the latest tech gadgets just in time for the holiday shopping season to begin. The Apple program will be held on Wednesday, November 15. The Android program will be held on Thursday, November 16. Both programs begin at 6:00 p.m. and are being held in the Christ Chapel on the Lutheran Campus at 715 Falconer Street. Both programs are free and open to the public. “After every Best of Times seminar we host, attendees give us suggestions on topics they would like to learn about. One topic that has come up repeatedly in recent months is the different technology options available,” said Edwin Rodriguez Jr., public relations and marketing director for Lutheran. “More and more people are skipping computers and choosing tablets and other smaller devices because of their convenience, portability, and easy-to-use features. Hosting this program right before the holiday shopping season can be a great resource for folks unsure of what to buy,” said Rodriguez. Rob Hewitt, Learning Lab Tech and Reference Librarian from the Prendergast Library, will be instructing the programs. Hewitt works for the library’s Technology Center that typically provides one-on-one assistance with electronic devices. The library helps over 300 people a year with their technology programming, so they have a lot of experience helping individuals of all ages learn how to use devices, various websites, apps, and more. “The best part about this program is that our presenter will also be taking some questions from the audience,” said Rodriguez. “If you want to learn about which device is right for you and your family, or even if you already have a technology device that you want to learn more about, this program is for you,” he said. To RSVP for either of the technology seminars, please call 716-720-9122 or visit www.lutheran-jamestown.org to sign up online. Light refreshments are provided. The Edgewood Communities senior independent living is a part of Lutheran, a Christian organization with a comprehensive continuum of community, residential, and home based supportive services that help people of all ages gain or retain independence.

Nearly 70 percent of Americans say their favorite part about the holidays is spending time with family and friends, according to the Pew Research Center. So, during the hectic holiday crunch, you may be looking for ways to simplify the many tasks on your to-do list. When it comes to decorating, consider these time-saving strategies for New tools can help you avoid crawling to turn holiday lights turning your home into a on and off. fuss-free winter wonderland. Get Organized Early If your seasonal décor is stowed away in the garage or attic, dust it off and get it untangled before the day you plan to do your actual decorating. Locating these items and getting them prepped to be strung and hung may be a job in and of itself, so don’t get overwhelmed by trying to make it all happen in one day. Make it a Group Effort There are plenty of responsibilities you can dole out to different members of the family to make decorating more fun for everyone involved. While certain tasks may not be for everybody, such as those that require getting on a ladder, kidfriendly tasks include creating googly-eyed reindeer ornaments for the tree and stringing garlands to the banister. Use New Tools New tools are available that can help simplify holiday decorating. For example, Treemote, a wireless, user-friendly Christmas-tree shaped remote, can control holiday lights up to 80 feet away -- so you can skip crawling under or behind your tree to turn lights on and off in the morning and at night. While this tool is ideal around the holidays, it can also be used year-round on hard-to-reach lights and appliances, making it a great stocking stuffer for your decorator-in-residence. To learn more, visit Treemote.com. Make it Fun Make decorating fun by creating a festive atmosphere. Create a playlist of all your favorite holiday tracks to enjoy as you decorate. Pop a tray of cookies into the oven. When the decorating is over, reward yourself by curling up and watching a favorite holiday movie. There’s no reason why decorating needs to feel like a chore. Simple strategies can make decking the halls not only easy, but fun.

Immune Boosting Tips for a Healthy Holiday Season
Contributed Article StatePoint
The hectic holidays and chill in the air can take a toll on the immune system and make one more susceptible to cold weather challenges. Stay healthy and vital all season by taking the following steps. Be Balanced From eggnog and cookies to champagne toasts at midnight, you may be more likely to over indulge during the holiday season than at other times of the year. Be mindful of what you are eating and drinking at parties and on a day-to-day basis, and then balance out these extravagances with plenty of rest, regular exercise, healthy hydration and an otherwise nutrition-filled diet. Get Some Support “We are learning more each day about what weakens the immune system and how we can strengthen it for better health,” says Larry Robinson, PhD, vice president of scientific affairs at Embria Health Sciences, a manufacturer of natural, science-based ingredients that

ent EpiCor, a whole food fermentate made through a proprietary process using Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a common single-celled microorganism, have been shown in scientific studies to support the body’s ability to initiate the proper immune response at the appropriate time. For example, NOW EpiCor Plus Immunity contains Zinc,
Selenium, and vitamins D-3 and C, and can give you the nutrition you need to help you make it through the holidays healthfully. To learn more, visit nowfoods.com. While all these statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration and this supplement is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease, many experts believe they can help maintain your daily health Relax The holiday season is meant to be joyful. Unfortunately, it can also be stressful. From navigating a shopping mall parking lot on the busiest day of the year to dealing with the extended family, stress can compromise your immune response. Use at least some of that time you may have off from work to truly relax, scheduling some down time for yourself -- whether it’s curling up with a glass of green tea and a paperback, taking a bubble bath or doing yoga. For a happy holiday season, take steps to treat your body right and to prioritize health and wellness.

Eco-Friendly Paving Revives Park Pathways Contributed Article NewsUSA
Yellowstone National Park experiences more than 4 million visits annually. The park's volume of foot traffic, particularly around the famous geyser, Old Faithful, has put a strain on the existing walkways. Tire manufacturer Michelin first partnered with Yellowstone three years ago, providing the park with reliable tires for its many recreational and maintenance vehicles. This partnership also helped identify other areas where the company could provide assistance, including answering the challenge of creating new and improved paths that would accommodate the crowds without disturbing the park's ecosystem. Now, the goals in creating upgraded walkways around the park's most popular areas include finding a paving material that is durable but also sustainably produced. Using recycled tires that Michelin donated to the park, the Michelin Corporate Foundation's plan involves replacing the aging asphalt paths in Yellowstone with KBI Flexi-Pave, a porous material that allows rainwater and melting snow to drain through the material. This process promotes the natural flow of water, minimizes erosion, and allows water to replenish the geyser basin at Yellowstone's Upper Geyser Basin. In addition, Flexi-Pave does not release pollutants into the soil, break apart with wear, or cause significant storm-water runoff. Flexi-Pave is a composite product made of stone and rubber granules that is chemically inert. The granules
create a safe, durable, non-slip walking surface that accommodates wheelchairs as well as walkers. The unique material and design of the Flexi-Pave surface also resists the wear and tear associated with freezing and thawing conditions. Additional goals of the ongoing partnership between Michelin and Yellowstone include educating the public about the importance of preserving national parks and inspiring similar projects elsewhere. "We hope that this eco-friendly park walkway will inspire other similar projects that help preserve natural
systems," says Jeff Augustin, Senior Director of Park Projects at Yellowstone Forever, the official nonprofit partner of Yellowstone National Park. "Yellowstone shares Michelin's commitment to being a global leader in sustainability for the future," says Leesa Owens, director of community relations for Michelin North America. "Our partnership has created opportunities for visitors to enjoy the park's wonders for years to come." View the full video here: https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=B6HwZ fUGMK4

The 1891 Fredonia Opera House will present acclaimed performer Tony Sands in A Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra on Friday, Nov. 3, at 7:30 p.m. This show is a must-see for any Sinatra fan! A multimedia extravaganza for the eyes and ears! Tony Sands has incorporated into this show, video with stunning graphics that entice you from the moment the stage lights dim and the music begins! The show starts with Sinatra’s early days with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra and continues through the bright lights of New York City to his comeback at Madison Square Garden as the “Main Event.” For more than 20 years, Sands has been perfecting his act and wooing audiences in Philadelphia and New Jersey. Sands caught the Sinatra bug as a child growing up in South Philly neighborhood. “When I was 12 or 13 years old, I first wanted to sing,” he says. “My family played Sinatra records all the time, and I started singing along. The next thing I know, I just fell in love with his music. And here I am.” He says “Luck Be A Lady” is his favorite Sinatra tune. Sands has appeared at the world famous Tropicana Casino and Resort Hotel in Atlantic City, where he dazzled audiences from throughout the United States for many years. He also has performed at many Manhattan restaurants, the Zanzibar Blue Jazz Club in Philadelphia, The Ritz Carlton in Philadelphia, The Harvard Club in New York City, The Breakers, The Trump Castle and Casino and Harrah’s Hotel and Casino. His uncanny portrayal of Frank’s mannerisms and singing voice takes audiences on a musical journey. It’s as if Frank walks off the screen and onto the stage to perform. A Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra is supported with public funds from the United Arts Appeal of Chautauqua County. Tickets for the concert are $17 ($15 for Opera House members) and may be purchased in person at the Opera House Box Office or by phone at 716-679-1891, Tuesday-Friday, 1-5 p.m. Tickets may be purchased online at www.fredopera.org anytime.

Opera House Cinema Series to Screen “Battle of the Sexes” Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House
The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is “Battle of the Sexes,” about the historic 1970s tennis battle between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. It stars Emma Stone and Steve Carell, and will be screened on Sat., Nov. 4 and Tues., Nov. 7, at 7:30 p.m. In the wake of the sexual revolution and the rise of the women’s movement, the 1973 tennis match between women’s World #1-ranked Billie Jean King (Stone) and former men’s champ and serial hustler Bobby Riggs (Carell) became one of the most watched televised sports events of all time, reaching 90 million viewers around the world. While, off-court, each was fighting more personal and complex battles, together, King and Riggs served up a cultural spectacle that resonated far beyond the tennis court, sparking discussions in bedrooms and boardrooms that continue to reverberate today.
Rex Reed, in the New York Observer, calls the film “an exhilarating movie propelled by two mesmerizing star performances.” Todd McCarthy, in the Hollywood Reporter, calls it “game, set and match for ‘Battle of the Sexes’, a massively entertaining account of the momentous 1973 tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs that also deftly deals with the numerous social issues inherent in the carnivallike contest!” Adam Graham, in the

Cane returning to RHR by popular request, most recently in the area at Chautauqua Institution where he opened for Jay Leno. Washington Post arts writer, Sadie Dingfelder wrote, “If you like Muddy Waters, go see Austin Walkin Cane." Greenberg, a Great Blue Heron music festival veteran, is a singer/songwriter, known for her rich, textured vocals and open hearted lyrics. She plays guitar and upright bass.

Also in this season's lineup is Joe Crookston. “Joe’s popularity is such that he tours almost constantly, so we were particular fortunate to be able to schedule him.” says Hardley. Crookston is an award-winning singer-songwriter. According to the International Folk Alliance, his 2008 album, “Able, Baker, Charlie, and Dog” got more radio airplay that year than any other folk album. Rachael Sage will also perform during the 2017-18 season. Hardley says, “I first saw Rachael in concert in 2001. She is a talented artist and a charismatic presence who owns the room as soon as she walks on stage. Her perspective is unusual, interesting, and hauntingly compelling.” Sage, who recently returned from a European tour with Judy Collins, will appear on Rolling Hills on Monday, April 30.

Golfer's
D i a ry
What To Do This Offseason By Stefan Gestwicki Star Contributing Writer
Most of Chautauqua County got its first official snow of the winter. With that fact comes the likely end of the golf season. Excuse me while I wipe away this single tear that’s falling down my cheek. Personally, I had an awesome season. I played a good amount. I hit the ball pretty well. I had a ton of fun. I’m legitimately sad to see the season come to an end. It did get me thinking, however. What can a golf addict such as myself do this winter to scratch that itch? So here are some ideas for things to do this before March (hopefully) to keep those golf juices flowing. Go On Vacation. It seems obvious, but not everywhere in this great country of ours has winters like we do. A few years ago, I only went as far South as North Carolina and I was able to play golf in February. I’ve never been to Florida, but I envision it being a virtual glut of retirement communities and golf courses. Or head West, young man. I’ve seen pictures of some courses in New Mexico, Arizona, etc. and they’re simply breathtaking. This might not be the cheapest way to scratch that golf itch, but you have to admit that it sounds like fun. And hey, you can always take the kids along and turn it into a full-fledged family vacation. Get A Putting Mat From one extreme to the other, a simple putting mat won’t exactly put all of your skills to the test, but you’ll still get that satisfaction of sinking some putts. Here’s a word of advice if this is something you’re going to look into: you get what you pay for. I believe I won mine at a tournament and it’s…not great. It’s impossible to ever get it to lay perfectly flat. Putting over the bumps of the perma-folds in the green isn’t exactly the experience I’m looking for. That leads me to another trick, though. Be sure you have somewhere to make sure you can leave it set up. Folding it up and putting in the box isn’t going to do the product’s integrity any favors. Head To The Golf Dome In the spirit of full disclosure, I’ve never actually been to the Paddock Chevrolet Golf Dome in Tonawanda, but I have to tell you, it looks amazing. Hit real golf balls. Try clubs. Use simulators. Play miniature golf. Eat amazing food. This place truly seems to have it all for golf lovers. I know there are other places in Western New York that offer golf simulators, too. Find one close to you and check it out. Watch Videos When I first started golfing, I spent more time on YouTube than I did on the course. I had to fix my slice. I had to add distance to my irons. I had to learn how to chip. I had to learn how to hit the hybrid. Luckily, there are helpful videos by a plethora of professionals to help us out. No matter how good you think you are at the game, I guarantee you can find a video on YouTube that could help improve. Honestly, I need to take my own advice on this one. It’s been too long since I really tried to improve off the course. Other Sports Yes, we all love golf, but there actually are alternatives out there. There are several indoor basketball leagues in our area that could speak to your competitive spirit. Bowling is always an option, too. We’re blessed with some great alleys where you could go for a league night or just to bowl a few games with friends. Want a game that’s just as much mental as it is physical (a la golf)? Try billiards. I know there are leagues around for that, too. If you’re like me, it’ll just be keeping yourself busy until golf season comes back, but you never know, one of these sports might really hook you, too. Next week, unless the weather miraculously changes, I’ll take a look at this season by the numbers. Until then, golf is great. Go get some.

Yes, it has narrow headlighteyes and a gaping mouth, but the real anger comes in its fangs, which are two air intakes on either side of the license plate that really do look like fangs -especially on dark-colored cars, since the intakes are framed in silver. If you see a Regal GS, get out of the way, lest it chomp you to bits with those fangs. Contributed Article Autotrader
Automotive front ends look like faces. We all know this, we've always known this, and someone finally capitalized on it to create that movie "Cars" where the eyes incorrectly weren't the headlights, but rather the windshield, and yet it still went on to make $40 zillion in theatres. But while the cars in "Cars" were largely friendly, I'm taking a look at a different aspect of the car-face world today: cars that are unfriendly. In fact, to commemorate the fact that today is Halloween, I'm specifically looking at cars that are mean, or angry, or look like they want to tear you from limb to limb. Just to be clear, I'm not saying any of these cars are UGLY, necessarily -- just that they're MAD. Really, really mad. And I figured there's no better time to bring this up than Halloween.
Buick Regal GS The front end of the Buick Regal GS is a little different from the other cars on this list, because it's not pointy or angled, but rather soft and curvy. Normally this would mean it doesn't look like it has a very mean face, but the Regal is different -- because the Regal

The Infiniti Q50 grille has been controversial, but it has certainly served its purpose: There's no Who knew the Infiniti Q50 was so mad? The grille design gives it the look question you're looking at a Lexus when of an angry animal with a large mouth, you see a vehicle with this front-end design.

Parents Get Help Coaching Teen Drivers from Michelin, NFL Star Contriuted Article NewsUSA
As a parent, there is no shortage of things to worry about when it comes to your kids. If you have teenagers, that anxiety can rise even more, especially when they start to drive. Car crashes remain the top killer of teenagers in the United States, according to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. To bring awareness of teen driver safety among teens and parents, top tire manufacturer Michelin has teamed up with football legend -; father of a teen driver -; Emmitt Smith in an educational campaign, "Coaching Your Teen Driver." "As parents, we play a critical role in coaching our teens to be safe drivers," Smith says in a statement announcing the campaign in conjunction with National Teen Driver Safety Week. "Keeping a cool head on the road starts with a strategy and a plan -; that's where Michelin's resources for coaching your teen driver can help." The campaign features a downloadable handbook that includes practical road safety advice for coaches and trainees, as well as a series of "offensive" and "defensive" driving plays to master with your teen driver. Offense: The handbook's offensive driving plays are designed to build new
drivers' confidence on the road. Offensive plays include adjusting mirrors for maximum visibility, as well as changing lanes, passing other cars and merging smoothly onto highways safely and with confidence. Defense: Defensive driving maneuvers are essential for safety on the road. The handbook reinforces key defensive driving plays, such as how to manage tailgaters, drive safely near large trucks, keep a safe following distance and respond to changes in road conditions due to weather or other factors. The handbook also emphasizes critical tips for coaches -; such as knowing when to call a "time out" and pull over when stress levels rise, and the importance of conducting a "post-game analysis" with your teen after the driving lesson to review what went well and where they can still improve. In addition, a section on basic vehicle and tire maintenance includes information that teens should know to stay safe on the road, but that often are not taught in drivers' education classes. "Sharing even simple tips with teens, like how to maintain tires, could result in a few extra feet of stopping distance that could mean the difference between life and death," Scott Clark, chief operating officer for Michelin North America says in the statement. Find more driving and tire safety information for teens - and download the full Coach's Handbook - at www. MichelinMan.com/SharingSafety.
