This year's Winter Games theme is an acknowledgement of the upcoming Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

Thule Lodge Celebrates 110th Anniversary Contributed Article JS Sipos
Thule Lodge #127 is the Swedish organization formed on December 17, 1907 in the Jamestown and Bemus Point areas. It had an open charter for a short time, and 56 members were enrolled at that time, including Mayor Emeritus Samuel A. Carlson as one of the charter members. At the recent celebration to mark the 110th anniversary, members and guests were served a Swedish meal, of many varieties of food by the 3-C's catering. A fine meal was enjoyed by all with ample amounts. The meal was served at the lodge located at 4123 Pancake Hill Road. Bernice Veights and Loretta Smith were the two organizers for the event. Lodge historian John Sipos had the annual reports with photographs on display for all to examine. Sipos also put together a book on the photographs and dates of all of the lodge chairman from the first in 1907. Lodge cultural leader Sonja Pascatore had a display of Swedish photographs showing Swedish culture. Karen Johnson brought a photograph of her when she was about 10 years of age on the Thule Lodge drill team. A program of lodge history about the lodge was composed by Vice chairman of the lodge Susan W. Sipos. The Thule Lodge, which is a part of New York District #4, has much history. In 1918, the influenza epidemic took a heavy toll and since Thule was a fraternal organization in Jamestown, paid many sick benefits during the epidemic. In 1925, a male chorus was organized under the title "Thule Sanger Broder." In 1929, the old YMCA was purchased and remodeled into the Nordic Temple. Meetings were held there until 1946, and on April 4, 1946 the first meeting of the Thule Lodge at 208 Pine Street was held. In 1966, Thule Lodge purchased the land on Pancake Hill in Bemus Point to serve as the summer Vasa Park. In 2000, with more activities being held at the Vasa Park, the downtown lodge was sold, and all was moved to the Vasa Park. Originally Thule lodge served to help the Swedish immigrants settle in the area
At the recent Thule Lodge 110th anniversary dinner, many were socializing during the event. Shown in the photograph are: Caryl Mattison, past cultural leader Fanchon Fuller, Julie Pickett, Stephanie Buccola, and Susan W. Sipos, lodge vice chairman. In the background is Edwin Sandberg, past chairman and past New York District Master.
with their housing, employment, schooling and serve as a social center. Today Thule Lodge serves to preserve the Swedish heritage through events and activities all year long. Now for 110 years, Thule Lodge has remained active and vibrant in the Jamestown and Bemus Point areas. Long may the meaning of Thule continue for all. New members are always welcome.

Infinity Visual and Performing Arts, Inc. Joins the Global #GivingTuesday Movement PLEDGES TO SUPPORT VIDEOGRAPHY PROGRAM Contributed Article Infinity Visual and Performing Arts
Infinity has once again joined #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide. Infinity’s INSTILL (Infinity Network of Students Training for Independent Leadership Level) Program encourages students to learn marketable skills while using their creative voices and talents. Young people work with a variety of mentors through hands-on learning experiences within the arts, based on a learning track of their choice. This year’s #GivingTuesday initiative will raise funds to purchase a new camcorder and editing software for Infinity students who are pursuing a learning track in Videography. These students write scripts, direct and record short films, marketing pieces, music videos, and more, and then learn to edit them using computer software that is standard with the industry. By providing quality materials for our students to work and learn with, they are learning
skills that give them an edge when they enter college and the workforce. Occurring this year on November 28, #GivingTuesday is held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving (in the US) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday to kick off the holiday giving season and inspire people to collaborate in improving their local communities and to give back in impactful ways to the charities and causes they support. Infinity joined #GivingTuesday to spark the spirit of giving in Chautauqua County. Last year’s initiative successfully provided nearly $1,500 in scholarship assistance to students at the Infinity Center. This year, Infinity is hoping to raise $2,500 to support the purchase of a new camcorder, memory cards, and video editing software for our Videography students. #GivingTuesday will kick off the campaign, and donations to this project will be accepted until December 31. All donations are tax-deductible!
Those who are interested in supporting Infinity’s #GivingTuesday initiative can visit www.infinityperformingarts.org to make a secure online donation.

Chocolate
Fudge Cookies By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
‘Tis the season for baking! Christmas cookie exchanges, cookie and treat gifting, and holiday parties are right around the corner There are quite a few ‘tried and true’ recipes that we make every year in our household, but occasionally I do like to try out new ones to add to that list. We have plenty of events, friends and family to prepare cookies for, so our recipe list is always growing. Just like our trifle recipe list, which you have probably witnessed… Have you ever had cookies that were so perfectly soft and chewy on the inside, that you could just eat ten of them and feel like you’d only had a few? I’m not saying I ate ten of these, just for the record. I totally could, though! My husband has a love/hate relationship with these cookies for just that reason. It requires some serious self-control to not eat as many as you might like to. Unless you’re one of those people who doesn’t like rich chocolate. You’re surely immune to these, and I envy you just a wee bit for that. If you choose to make these, and test your temperance at the same time, make sure you store in an airtight container or in the microwave overnight with a piece of bread. This is my trick to success for almost all of my cookies. The cookies absorb the moisture in the bread slice, becoming even softer the night after baking. It works great with sugar cookies! After storing them this way overnight, you can freeze them in Ziploc bags until using, up to a couple of weeks. Some people have stated up to a month in the freezer for most cookies, but it all depends on how tight your container is, and how much room you have in your freezer! If you’re ready for some baking, here you go! Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving with your
loved ones, thanks for reading and happy holiday baking! Fudgy Chocolate Cookies • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour • 1 cup cocoa • 1 1/4 tsp baking soda • 1 1/4 cups butter (room temperature) – if you use unsalted butter, add 1/4 tsp of salt to the dry ingredients when you mix • 2 1/4 cups sugar • 3 eggs • 2 1/2 tsp vanilla • 1/4 cup sugar – on the side 1. Pre-heat oven to 350°F, and prepare cookie sheet with parchment paper. 2. Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the vanilla and mix well.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and cocoa. If you used unsalted butter add 1/4 tsp salt to this. 4. Beat the eggs into the creamed butter and sugar. 5. Mix dry ingredients into the bowl with wet ingredients, and mix until you can’t see any flour! 6. Form the dough into balls roughly the size of golf balls. Roll and coat them in the sugar. 7. Place 6-8 balls evenly spaced onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. The number of cookies depends completely on the size of cookie sheet you are using. I use an insulated baking sheet that is significantly larger than a standard cookie sheet, which means more cookies at once. Space cookies with about 2 inches in between, so they don’t bake into a giant mystery cookie blob. 8. Allow cookies to cool for a couple minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a cooling rack.

Shop Small! Small Business Saturday is November 25 Written by Todd J. Tranum, President and CEO of the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce & Executive Director of the Manufacturers Association of the Southern Tier Once again this year the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce has signed on as a Neighborhood Champion for Small Business Saturday. That means we are helping to promote the shop small movement right here in our own communities. The Chamber has always focused on supporting local business and helping to drive foot traffic into local businesses. As part of our Small Business Saturday project, we are helping to market small, locally owned stores that serve people right here in our own backyard. Participating Chamber member businesses include: Candy Store: Webb’s Candies, Mayville; Carpet, Flooring and Furniture: Moran’s Floor Store and Furniture Showroom, Jamestown; and Pucci’s Carpet One Furniture, Fredonia; Clothing: Skillmans, Bemus Point; Consignment Shop: Til You Drop Shoppe, Fredonia; Florists: Fresh & Fancy Flowers & Gifts, Fredonia; Girton’s Flowers & Gifts, Jamestown; Hardware Stores: ADD Lumber, Dunkirk; ADD Lumber, Westfield; Smith’s True Value, Irving; and Weiss Hardware, Dunkirk; Home Décor & Design: Feather Your Next, Fredonia; Local Attractions with Gift Shops: Audubon Community Nature Center, Jamestown; Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum, Jamestown; and Roger Tory Peterson Institute, Jamestown; and Restaurants to stop for a bite to eat: Andriaccio’s, Mayville; Village Restaurant, Dewittville; and Webb’s Captain’s Table, Mayville. Many other Chamber member retail businesses will also be open to help fulfill your shopping needs! In addition, The Dunkirk Community Chamber of Commerce and the City of Dunkirk will celebrate Small Business Saturday at the former JC Penney location in the D & F Plaza, Dunkirk, featuring snacks and beverages, vendors, activities for children, and a visit from Santa! The hours are noon to 5 p.m. on November 25. Shopping locally is good for our economy and good for our friends, neighbors, and business climate. Time after time studies have shown that it does make a difference when people choose to buy from local merchants. A 2010 study by the Michigan State University Center for Community and Economic Development shows that for every $100 in consumer spending with a locally owned business, $73 remains in the local economy and is dispersed through local wages, charitable donations, taxes that fund local services, and purchases of goods and services through other local businesses. The Michigan State study also shows that for each $100 spent with a non-locally owned business, just $43 remains in the local economy. Support your friends, neighbors, and community this year by shopping locally. It does make a difference! CONTINUED ON PAGE 19

Encourage a Love of Reading During National Family Literacy Month Contributed Article NewsUSA
For many parents, it's a struggle to get kids to read outside of the classroom, but November is the perfect time to change that, because it's National Family Literacy Month. The importance of reading goes well beyond acing a test or getting an "A" on a book report. It's a lifelong skill that helps you to better understand the world around you and even yourself. And it's becoming increasingly important to ensure that kids don't become non-readers in their busy, over-connected daily lives. "Reading opens up so many possibilities, from discovering a new interest Photo Credit: iStock to sparking untapped creativity.

book club with a group of your kid's friends and their parents is a great way to make reading fun. Give participants a month to read the selected book, then organize a party where everyone can chat and enjoy themed snacks. Stick with What They Like. Kids will be more inclined to read if it's about something they're already interested in. And if you
can share that interest with them, that's even better! And because not everyone loves the same subjects or genres, try to at least hook them with engaging books on whatever they enjoy -- be it baseball, magic or anything else. • Monkey See, Monkey Do. It's important that kids see their parents reading. If they don't, it's an unspoken statement to your child that it's okay not to read. From crossword puzzles to comic books, it's easier than you think to build literacy as a family. Make a conscious effort to set time aside time for you and your kids to read together. • Deploy Backup. Not every child is a natural born reader and even kids who are great readers can use reading help. Sylvan Learning offers reading programs from Pre-K through Grade 12. And because no two children are exactly alike, they personalize reading tutoring for each child, giving kids the personal attention and confidence they need to thrive.

Florida Invests In Seaports STATE IS KEY PLAYER IN GLOBAL MARKETPLACE Contributed Article NewsUSA
Summer may be over, but Florida's economy isn't cooling down. So much so that start-ups and businesses are flocking to the Sunshine State because of its strategic geographic locations, state-of-the-art infrastructures, multilingual workforces, and concentrations of corporate and financial resources. That's according to Enterprise Florida, a public-private partnership between Florida's business and government leaders and the principal economic development organization for the state. Other reasons for the influx of businesses to the state include taking advantage of the younger talent moving to the area, no state income taxes, and promotions to reduce the property tax. Also the much lower cost of living. And to make Florida even more attractive for U.S. and international business-
es, the state has also invested billions in upgrading and expanding its seaports in recent years. To this end, the state is continuing to invest in its ports based on the market demand. Under the leadership of Gov. Rick Scott and the Florida Legislature, the state's seaports have seen billions invested through state, local and private funding since 2011. This has produced a Return On Investment (ROI) of nearly $7 in state and local tax revenue for every $1 of state investment. And an additional $2.8 billion has been earmarked for capital improvement projects over the next five years to ensure that Florida remains a key player in the global marketplace. The annual Five-Year Seaport Mission Plan is a statutorily-required report produced by the Florida Ports Council on behalf of the Florida Seaport and Transportation and Economic Development Council. Some highlights of the 2017-2021 plan include:
•
$50.1 billion in value of containerized cargo moved (6.4 percent increase); • 3.5 million twenty foot equivalent units handled; • 15.5 million cruise passengers served (1.4 percent increase); • $2.8 billion programmed in improvements over the next five years. "Those are market-driven investments, responding to market needs," says Doug Wheeler, President and CEO of the Florida Ports Council, a Florida nonprofit corporation that serves as the professional association for Florida's 15 public seaports and their management. "We're seeing more and more businesses recognize ports as very beneficial to their bottom line." As these 15 Florida ports see upgrades and expansions, international companies are taking advantage of the benefits. There has been a growth in business from Mexico, South America, Central America, and Asia businesses,
says Wheeler. The ports have seen an uptick in automobile business and parishables, such as fruit. "We're seeing growth at our ports," Wheeler says. "It benefits everyone on the supply chain and helps the existing port tenants. We're seeing companies with a manufacturer component recognize that ports can be a value-added service and be where they need to be to export or import their products." Companies are not the only ones benefiting from the upgrades in seaports. The economy of the state is also feeling the love. Since 2012, the total economic value of the Florida seaports increased from $101.9 billion to $117.6 billion, and total jobs supported and related to cargo and cruise activity grew by 217,664 within the state. "Clearly, port infrastructure investments by Governor Scott and the legislature are paying off as Florida further establishes itself as a key player in the global marketplace," Wheeler says.

Rolling Hills Radio Announces its November Show Contributed Article Rolling Hills Radio
After a capacity audience filled Shawbucks for Rolling Hills Radio’s first show of its 8th season, Ken Hardley, the show’s producer and host, announced the lineup for the November 27th show – The Moonshine Rhythm Club and, returning favorite, Steve Piper. With the second show of the season, “Rolling Hills is quite literally moving into ‘full swing’ with a performance by four young musicians based in Nashville” Hardley says. “The Moonshine Rhythm Club has put their distinct signature sound on the best of classic recordings of the 1930s and ‘40s swing era making those tunes sound as if they were written this morning.” According to Hardley, “Audience members will be treated to the acoustic guitar-driven fire of gypsy swing popularized by Django Reinhardt and later artists such as Count Basie. Hip vocals and lighthearted humor put the final touches on the performance of these completely unique musicians.” Cathie Pasinski, Rolling Hills Radio Assistant Producer, enthusiastically says, “With their guitars, upright bass, sax and clarinet, I don’t believe there is anyone who will make it through this performance without tapping their toes, smiling until it hurts, and moving to the infectious rhythms of The Moonshine Rhythm Club.” Also taking the stage at this show is a perennial favorite of Jamestown and regional audiences, Steve Piper. Piper is a songwriter and performer who falls within the folk and country tradition, but, according to Ken Hardley, “ has tastes diverse enough to slightly alter the reality of the open-hearted listener.
The Moonshine Rhythm Club
Not only will you enjoy his performance, but his music and lyrics will stick with you. His songwriting is noteworthy; he understands the song form thoroughly and moves deftly within it. While his solo performances are worthy of an entire evening, he is also sought after by many groups as a session instrumentalist, primarily on guitar. It is no stretch to apply to Steve what John Lennon once said of another musician, he can ‘make the guitar talk.’” He adds that, “Steve’s chords remind me of The Beatle’s White Album. His instrumentals are remarkable.” Pat Maloney, a fine singer/composer in his own right, has said of Steve Piper’s music, “…I hear flashes of Buddy Holly and the Everly Brothers …” Pasinski adds, “Steve Piper's whimsical view of the world simply brings out the romantic in me. I can't wait to see him again.”

More than 100 million Americans will travel this holiday season, according to AAA estimates. Holiday travel can seem daunting, between flight delays and bumper-to-bumper traffic. What’s more, it has potential health impacts, including leg swelling and increased risk for cold and flu. “Air travel, long drives, less sleep and added stress can weaken your immune system at a time when you’re around more people and susceptible to illness,” says nationally renowned natural health physician and best-selling author, Dr. Fred Pescatore. Dr. Pescatore is sharing a few tips to help boost health for this season’s holiday travel. Feed Your Immune System Cold and flu season ramps up just in time for the holidays, which means you may be more at risk of catching a bug. “Take precautions before boarding your flight -- wash your hands frequently, bring hand sanitizer with you and snack on antioxidant-packed vegetables like broccoli, carrots and sweet potatoes to keep your immune

system strong,” says Dr. Pescatore. Fend off Fatigue The American Sleep Association estimates that nearly 93 percent of travelers experience jet lag and it can be severe enough to interfere with holiday and vacation plans. “Sleep disturbances make you feel tired, nauseous and irritable
-- not a good combination with holiday activities,” says Dr. Pescatore. A peer-reviewed study shows that daily supplementation with the super-antioxidant, Pycnogenol (Pic-noj-en-all), reduces jet lag symptoms by nearly 50 percent. “Pycnogenol, a natural botanical extract from the bark of the
French maritime pine tree, is a traveler’s best friend. You can spend less time feeling fatigued and more quality time with your loved ones this holiday season,” says Dr. Pescatore. Boost Circulation Long periods of immobility in a cramped space like a car or plane contribute to swelling and fluid accumulation

throughout the legs. Known as edema, it can be uncomfortable and may feel worse after travel. Dr. Pescatore recommends taking shorts breaks to move around on road trips and to stand up and stretch during long flights to keep blood circulating and reduce swelling. “Pycnogenol is also shown to promote circulation, and studies show its benefits for reducing swelling and discomfort during long-distance travel. Again, it’s a good supplement for travel,” he says. Pycnogenol is one of the most researched ingredients on the market with decades of studies showing its benefits for a variety of health applications. It’s available in more than 700 dietary supplements, multivitamins and health products worldwide. For more information, visit pycnogenol.com. “Drink plenty of water, use a supplement for a beneficial boost and remember to enjoy the holidays. Yes, even the travel can be fun,” says Dr. Pescatore. This holiday season, give yourself the gift of better health by taking simple steps.

Jamestown High School is proud to announce that the Girls Tennis Team is the recipient of the Chautauqua Cattaraugus Athletic Association (CCAA) Sportsmanship Award. The award is voted on by all of the coaches and teams in the CCAA league and the JHS Tennis Team was chosen. "I am so proud of this group of girls this year that represented JHS Tennis,” said JHS Tennis Coach Greg Jackson. “These girls really impressed me with how they carried themselves on the court when they were winning, as well as losing. As a coach, you always stress the importance of sportsmanship but being able to actually demonstrate it during the good and the bad is what is impressive to me."
Furious Comeback Comes up Short in Loss to Blue Jackets Contributed Article Sabres.com
Asked to explain Evander Kane's career-best production so far this season, Phil Housley boiled it down to a simple premise: Kane shoots the most, and therefore he scores the most. Kane entered Monday ranked third in the NHL in shots and tied for seventh in goals. Kane's seven shot attempts led the Sabres against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday night and, accordingly, he cashed in on his 12th goal of the season. The problem was that it took too long for the rest of team to follow suit, and a furious third-period comeback came up short in a 3-2 loss. After the game, Kane echoed a mes-
sage his coach has been preaching throughout the season, saying the Sabres need to focus on developing a shooting mentality. "I really think that we need to bear down a little bit more on pucks, bouncing pucks, win our 1-on-1 battles at the net and get pucks to the net," Kane said. "Hockey's not that hard of a game, only if you make it. "For us, it's just a mindset of maybe being more of a straight line team and getting some uglier goals." The Sabres nearly tied the game with an ugly goal after going down 3-0 when Boone Jenner scored 9:24 into the third period. Sam Reinhart deflected a puck to put the Sabres on the board three seconds later, and Kane scored to bring them within one with 3:32 remaining. It was also Kane who drove to the net
and drew a holding penalty on Blue Jackets defenseman Seth Jones to put the Sabres on the power play in the final minutes of the game. The Sabres nearly tied the game twice - first on a Jack Eichel shot that rung the post, and then on a Kyle Okposo attempt that was deemed dead before the puck crossed the goal line. All of the characteristics that were essential to Buffalo's near-comeback are also qualities that Housley has implored to see from his team on a more consistent basis this season. They got pucks to the net, taking a 15 shots in the third period as opposed to a combined 17 in the first two, and battled in front to make life difficult for Columbus goalie Sergei Bobrovsky. "You're playing against one of the best goaltenders in the league and we talked
about making it difficult for him," Housley said. "At times we did. That last play I thought we did an excellent job of crashing the net." " … I think we've still got to get more pucks to the net. You can see the goals that we scored, especially that last one, was a result of that. The second period we got away from the desperation we need and the 1-on-1 battles, the compete in those areas that we need." After a scoreless first period, the Sabres went down in the second on a rebound goal by rookie forward Pierre LucDubois. A strong individual effort from Artemi Panarin padded the Columbus lead early in the third, and Jenner's goal - scored on a loose puck at the net front - made the score 3-0 with 10:36 remaining.

Don’t Be “THAT” Guy (Pt. 2) By Stefan Gestwicki Star Contributing Writer
This is the second part in a series about annoying golfers. Honestly, this could probably go on forever. We’ve all encountered some real peaches out on the golf course, right? Last week, I wrote about the following “guys”: The Chronically Late Guy; The Unprepared Guy; The Pro VI Guy; The Foot Wedge Guy; The Never Shuts Up Guy and the dreaded Can’t Keep Score Guy. If you missed it, you should really go back and read that one because those are some truly awful “guys” (obviously these can be women, too — egregious behavior follows no gender guidelines). Here are some more stereotypical golfers you should avoid becoming: • The None Shall Pass Guy — This is definitely more of a group trait, but I couldn’t omit it from the list because this one truly gets my blood boiling. I almost exclusively play as a twosome with a cart. Compared to most groups, we play lightning fast. So when we get behind a foursome that’s seemingly oblivious to our existence, our play comes to a screeching halt. I’m not sure if there’s anything in the official golf etiquette handbook about this, but there should be. Just step aside for three minutes and let us play through, please. • The Tee Box Revenge Guy — On the flip side of the first one is that guy who thinks it’s okay to tee off when the group ahead of him isn’t out of range yet. Yes, they probably should have let us play through, but let’s take the high road here and not send a potentially devastating missile towards their heads. Just be like the rest of us and utter some words of disbelief about how slow that group is. • The “I Found It” Guy — Have you ever played with the guy whose ball just happens to miraculously bounce out of the trees every single time? Have you ever caught that same player trying to inconspicuously drop another ball from their pocket? Com’on, man. We all saw you slice the living daylights out of that one. The ball is never coming back. Note that this is often the same guy as The Pro VI Guy from Part 1 of this series. • The Shot Even Par Yesterday Guy — We all have good days and bad days on the links. But that you really shot a 75 your last time out when you’re flirting with 110 this time seems unlikely. Maybe one of these days someone will actually witness one of these miraculous rounds you’re always talking about. This guy is most likely a fisherman, too.

The Music Man — This one heralds back to The Never Shuts Up Guy from part one, but The Music Man is so much worse because he bothers everyone within a three-hole radius. Golfers are distracted by noise. They don’t want talking, cars going by or music playing when they’re taking their cuts. So the guy that rides around with a veritable boom box (this is still 1992, right?) in their cart has to be one of the most hated people on the course. And at least play something good if you’re going to bother everyone. • The Texter — When I golf, I put my phone in my bag and I don’t look at it again until I’m done. My wife knows that she won’t be able to reach me for a few hours. Like many, I enjoy the camaraderie that comes with golf. You catch up. You reminisce about old times. You talk about that awesome shot you just had. Then there’s the guy who spends the whole time texting the girl he just met online. I’m sure this one bothers me more than most because I have far too much experience with it, but still, don’t be this guy. That’s a wrap for another edition of Don’t Be “THAT” Guy. Considering how annoying these traits are in people, it’s actually really putting me in the mood to golf. How much longer until April or whenever we can all golf again? Well, until then, golf is great. Go get some.

5 Alternatives to the Chevy Corvette ZR1 You Can Buy Right Now Corvette? Here's the ultimate Camaro. The Chevy Camaro ZL1 is truly stunning, with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 that makes 650 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque -- good for 0-to-60 runs in the mid 3-second range. It's also a lot cheaper than the ZR1, as this brandnew 2018 ZL1 -- a well-optioned model with a convertible top and an automatic transmission -- is just $73,905 at Shottenkirk Chevrolet in Waukee, Iowa. (Chevrolet hasn't announced ZR1 pricing yet, but it'll surely top $100,000 before options.)

Earlier this week, I told you about the new 2019 Chevy Corvette ZR1 that Chevy unveiled at the Dubai Auto Show. It's a monster: 755 horsepower, 715 lb-ft of torque, loads of a carbon fiber and an engine that's so large it literally sticks up through the hood. Unfortunately, you won't be able to get it until the spring -- so here's a list of five ZR1 alternatives you can buy to hold you over before the ultimate Corvette goes on sale.
Original Chevy Corvette ZR-1 Ahh, the original ZR-1 -- sort of. Chevy produced a "ZR-1" model for the third-generation Corvette, but only

in very limited numbers -- and this is the ZR-1 we all really remember. Offered throughout the early 1990s, this ZR-1 offered 375 hp, which may not seem like much by today's standards -- but it was a huge deal at the time, as the "normal" Corvette had just 245 horses. This particular ZR-1 is as close to a new C4 ZR-1 as you'll ever find: It has just 31 original miles and it's perfectly preserved, with an asking price of $49,995 from Rizza Buick Cadillac GMC in the Chicago area.
Chevy Corvette ZR1 "C6" While the C4 ZR-1 is appealing, you don't need to go back to the 1990s to buy a ZR1. In fact, the most recent Corvette ZR1 was discontinued only a few years ago -- it's the "C6" ZR1 model, which was sold from 2009 to 2013. Performance is still amazing, as the C6 ZR1 boasts a whopping 638 hp and 604 lb-ft of torque -- a far cry from the new ZR1, sure, but good for some amazing track performance and a 0-to-60 time of something like 3.4 seconds. This particular ZR1 is a rare "Inferno Orange" model -- one of just 69 built, according to the ad -- and it's offered by Hilson Luxury Motors in the Atlanta suburb of Marietta, Georgia.

Dodge Viper ACR The Dodge Viper ACR is the closest you can come to a new ZR1 without actually buying a new ZR1. The formula is virtually identical: A massive
engine up front (in this case, a V10 with 645 hp and 600 lb-ft), a huge wing in back and tremendous acceleration and track capabilities. This is one of the nicest ACR models on Autotrader -- a rare "GTS-R" version with just 7 original miles, available for $199,000 from a seller in Florida -- but cheaper ones are available, too. And let's be honest: The Dodge Viper is just a little more exotic than the Chevy Corvette. Shelby GT350R The Shelby GT350R is one of my favorite cars I've driven in 2017. One reason is the sound, as it's both hilari-
ously loud and excellent in quality and tone. Another reason is the handling: I'm stunned how precise and sporty the GT350R feels in virtually all situations; sitting in this car, it's hard to believe you're driving a Mustang. And then, of course, there's the performance: 526 hp, 429 lb-ft of torque and a 0-to-60 time of under 4 seconds. The only problem is finding one: Demand has driven up prices, as this example shows; it's a new, 2018 GT350R offered by Koons Ford in the D.C. area with a $30,000 markup to $99,395.
