Grief Support Group to Sponsor Event Village of Lakewood Featuring Tara Swan of Kallie’s Krusade Announces Holiday a safe place to share and Lights Contest to vent, and information
Contributed Article CHPC
The Friend-To-Friend Grief Support Group of Chautauqua Hospice and Palliative Care will again be the area sponsor for the 12th Annual Worldwide Candle Lighting Event in support of families who have experienced the death of a child. The event will be held at Praise Fellowship Church, 741 Market St., Russell, PA on Sunday, December 3 at 6:00 p.m. Guest speaker will be Tara Swan mother of Kallie Swan and founder of Kallie’s Krusade, a foundation established to help provide financial relief and community support to families stricken
with childhood disease. Participants are encouraged to bring a photo or memento of their child for display and an ornament to hang on the memorial tree that will be displayed at the CHPC Office after the event. Attendees are also encouraged to bring a
poem or reading to share if they wish to do so. “The motto of Friend to Friend is ‘Open Arms Caring for Empty Arms.’” says Carna Pierce, LMSW, Social Worker and Grief Counselor for CHPC. “Our purpose is to provide support to one another,
on grieving and coping, as well as information on other resources. This annual event is offered to help parents, grandparents and other immediate family members who have been affected by a child’s death cope with the holiday season, which can be such a difficult time of year.” Anyone interested in the candle lighting event is encouraged to attend, regardless of whether they are a member of the support group. Friend-To-Friend meets the first and third Thursdays of every month at 7:00 p.m. at the Chautauqua Hospice & Palliative Care offices in Lakewood, New York. There is no charge to attend and meetings, which are facilitated by licensed medical social workers, usually last about two hours. The group is loosely patterned after the Compassionate Friends, a national organization that supports parents through child death. Information can be found on their website: www. compassionatefriends.org. Friend-To-Friend also has a closed group on Facebook that can be accessed by contacting the CHPC offices. For more information about the Friend-ToFriend support group, the event or any of the other grief support services offered by Chautauqua Hospice and Palliative Care, please contact Carna Pierce, LMSW or Jamie Probst, LMSW at 716-338-0033 or visit the website at www.chpc.care.

First Presbyterian Church Helps Love School Students After School
Contributed Article JPS
The excited chatter of Love Elementary School students and volunteers tutors from the First Presbyterian Church recently filled the air in the church’s community room. “I received a phone call from Judy who runs the program last year and we set up a meeting,” said Love Elementary School teacher Pat Cunningham. “Her plan sounded great and I already had my After School Amigos program on Tuesdays and Thursdays so we had a group of children that I thought would benefit from this new program. These are children and families that are very committed to being successful in school and in life. Having a group of community members so close to the school and willing to tutor and build positive relationships with these children was something I couldn't pass up. The students look forward to both programs and really enjoy what they are doing. The tutors from First Presbyterian Church are wonderful people and are really making a difference with these 19 children from Love School.” Judy Kullberg, from First Presbyterian Church, started the program to help local children. The students and their tutors work on homework, read together, play games and just talk. “We put together the one-on-one tutor situation as it is very important and they really develop very good friendships with their tutors,” said Mrs. Kullberg. “We try to keep the same pairs together every week. I wanted to do another program like I did in North Carolina and this one has worked out just as well. People are so cooperative; not only the church volunteers, but I also have tutors from almost every other church in town. It’s going very well and I’m so pleased. The volunteers are wonderful, the school has been wonderful and I think the kids are wonderful too.”

Keeping The Faith there are many people that find this “push” a stressful reminder about “what’s coming” and can’t be joyful due to their focus on the preparations rather than the reason for the holidays! It’s important to remember that the holiday season should be a time to come together and be grateful for the blessings of family. The Bible gives us a great example of this Rev. Michael Lokietek in Luke 10:38-42: "Now Family Church Fredonia it happened as they went fcfredonia.org that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha Dear Pastor, it seems welcomed Him into her the stores just got rid house.

This passage shows stock flowing. However,
a stressed and burdened Martha. Jesus lovingly, but firmly, chided her worry was causing her to miss the most important part…which was the presence of Jesus! Martha allowed her focus to be on the wrong thing. This resulted in her bad attitude and kept her from enjoying the fact that Jesus, the Messiah, was a guest in her home! We, too, can get overwhelmed by shopping and holiday preparations that we lose sight of the real enjoyment…friends, families, and God! We can even become annoyed at others who love the season and look to the holiday activities as opportunities for happiness. But don’t do that! Make a decision to celebrate the holidays with joy. Even if you put your tree up on December 24th…don’t let your struggle rob others of holiday excitement!

one for their sand ceremony,” she said. Each family stood before the room with several containers of sand of varying colors inside. When each family member poured their colored sand into a larger container, the multicolored result represented their foundation of love and their family as one. Sand ceremonies are common for adoption families, weddings, and other unifying celebrations. A special sand container was created during the event for Erie County Department of Social Services Adoption Attorney, Daniel Hartman, with each family contributing to it. After 38 years of practicing family law, Hartman will be retiring in 2018. “We wanted to make sure we honored Dan for his hard work,” said Maggie Dreyer, director of G.A. Family Services Foster Care Program. “Dan and his staff have helped finalize the adoption paperwork for many of the families in
attendance tonight. They deserve a lot of credit because they played a vital role in each families’ journey,” said Dreyer. G.A. Family Services works with various county government and social service agencies to offer support to families looking to foster or adopt children in western New York. Training and skill building, financial support, post-adoption and post-guardianship support, and foster care classes are just a few of their resources available. “We want our community to know that there is not a perfect family or perfect situation to foster or adopt a local child,” said Dreyer. “If you are flexible, loving, reliable, and have an open mind, you can make a difference in your community,” she said. For more information on foster care or adoption services provided by G.A. Family Services, please call 1-800-674-4237 or visit G.A. Family Services on the web at www.gafamilyservices.org. G.A.

Cinnamon
Sugar Carrots By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
I don’t know about you, but I am always looking for quick and easy recipes. When I say ‘always looking,’ I don’t mean that I spend a ton of time researching this, but rather that I am always open and ready to new recipe suggestions that don’t take up much of my time. Cooking has always been something that I’ve enjoyed, but it isn’t something that I always have time for. With three small children, there are nights where all of a sudden it’s dinner time, and I haven’t the slightest idea what I’m going to feed everyone. Some people might say, ‘well go grocery shopping then.’ See, that isn’t the problem, though. There are plenty of things in the fridge to make. Fresh fruits, veggies, etc, etc. There’s no lack of healthy food, it’s just the lack of time that sometimes gets in the way of healthy food, causing a lack of healthy, cooked, food. There’s no way we are the only ones that fall prey to this problem. The solution that I have found, at least for about eighty percent of the time, is to plan ahead. Again, let me stress, not all of the time. Things come up, that’s just life. Dinner plans change, schedules move around, and sometimes you are destined for a cereal-for-dinner night. Which is actually the meal of choice for our kids. I guess there’s just something about cereal. Back to the easy and quick thought process here. With the Holiday season well underway, I am not just looking for dinner ideas for our weekly family dinners, but also for things that I can make for a crowd if needed. Things that stretch quite a ways and taste like they took more effort than they did. One dish that I tried recently was slow cooked cinnamon sugar carrots. I have tried a few carrot recipes, but this one is the winner so far. The least effort by a long shot, and these carrots were perfectly tender, with just a little bit of sweet flavor. Nothing overwhelming, like honey glaze can sometimes be. This recipe could be served with multiple main dishes. It’s also one of those recipes that’s good for you, but tastes like a total comfort food. I could almost pick this over mac and cheese. We won’t get carried away here, though… Its good, okay? We will just leave it at that. It’s also something that kids like. Or at least my kids do. I have learned that there is no point whatsoever in comparing kids.
Kids have all their weird little quirks that make up their own individual personality, and many of these quirks are food related. On the other hand, when three out of three kids like something…that’s a pretty good approval rating. I’m not going to try and convince you to make this anymore. I will say that I am going to endeavor to find even more easy side dishes for the holidays, and complete slow cooker meals to share with all of you. Stay tuned and stay warm! As always, thanks for reading, and happy cooking from HBK! Cinnamon Sugar Slow Cooker Carrots Ingredients • 2 pounds baby carrots • 2 tablespoons butter, melted • 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon • 1/2 teaspoon ginger, optional • 1/2 teaspoon salt •
Spray inside of 4-quart slow cooker with no stick cooking spray. Add carrots and melted butter; toss to coat. Cover. • Cook on HIGH 3 to 4 hours or until tender. • Meanwhile, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger and salt in small bowl until well blended.

We congratulate everyone who played a role in bringing this extraordinary event back to Chautauqua County, and encourage fans to attend the World Junior Exhibition games December 20 and 21. Shop Locally This Season 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. The Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce works to promote local business year-round because we see the importance of supporting our local business owners and workforce. We encourage everyone to shop locally this holiday season! Chamber Will Recognize Dr. Amiran during Annual Meeting Dr. Minda Rae Amiran, professor emeritus at SUNY Fredonia, will be recognized with the 2017 Pam Lydic Coalition Builder Award presented by the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce during its Annual Meeting on Friday, December 8.

To get a better handle on your spending this season, consider the following tools and tips. Make Plans Decide exactly what your plans are this season. Will you be traveling? Will you be hosting a dinner party? What does your holiday shopping list look like? Add budget line items for all the associated expenses and put a price cap on each one. Add it Up Seek out tools that help make the logistics of staying within budget simple, such as desktop and printing calculators like Casio’s HR-100TMPlus, a 12-digit printing calculator with a large, easy-to-read display. It is especially well-suited for organized budget planning, as it offers special keys for tax calculations and has two-color printing, enabling shoppers to color code positive entries as black and deductions or purchases as red. For additional information on Casio’s portfolio of calculators, visit Casio.com. Take Steps to Save Make more space in your budget during the holiday season with smart strategies. Use free apps to help you score deep discounts on favorite retailers. If you’re crafty or handy, consider DIY-ing certain gift items and greeting cards. Suggest a day of volunteer service at your workplace in lieu of a gift exchange.

Great Holiday Gifts that Give Back
Contributed Article StatePoint
The holiday season is all about giving. This year, consider combining thoughtful gifts for loved ones with charitable efforts that benefit the larger community. There are many great ways to do so. Here are a few. Give Books and Donate Shopping for a bibliophile? Along with the gift of a book, consider honoring your gift recipient while promoting literacy and a love of reading in the wider community. Libraries often have programs that offer gift givers an opportunity to donate a book in someone’s name. Or, you may consider donating books or a magazine subscription to a homeless shelter or school. Give Clean Water Unfortunately, these days, safe tap water is not always a given, no matter where one lives. With the incidence of natural disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes on the rise that may displace families and create uncertainty about water quality, consider gifting something essential -- safe hydration on-thego. Refillable water bottles that feature built-in filters can give recipients access to safe drinking water from virtually anywhere. Those from LifeStraw remove 99.999999 percent of waterborne bacteria (including E. coli and salmonella) and 99.999 percent of waterborne protozoa (including Giardia and Cryptosporidium), while reducing

chlorine, organic chemical matter, bad taste, and odor. For kids, LifeStraw Play is a good choice and will offer parents greater peace of mind. It’s the first water bottle with a two-stage filter designed for children. The 10 oz. bottle is dishwasher safe, and its sturdy leak-proof design makes safer drinking convenient at home, school, on camping trips or during emergencies. For adults, consider LifeStraw Go with two-stage filtration that ensures safe hydration during travel, at home, in the office, at the gym, and outdoors. For those thinking charitably this season, consider that for every LifeStraw product purchased, one child in a developing community is provided with clean drinking water for an entire school year through the company’s Follow the Liters program. As of now, Follow the Liters has provided safe drink-
ing water to 633,000 students at 1,000 schools, and plans to reach one million students by early 2018. LifeStraw products are available for purchase at specialty retailers and online at www.lifestraw.com. Give a Local Experience When shopping for a loved one or friend who seems to have everything, planning an experience may have a greater, longer-lasting impact than a gift card, video game, or flowers. Consider giving tickets to an art gallery, a play at a nearby theater, or a local museum. Many of these venues are non-profit and donate revenues from ticket sales to charitable foundations. At the same time, you’ll be supporting your local community. This holiday season, you can spread cheer to loved ones and beyond with thoughtful gifts that make the world a better place.

Beyond keeping your refrigerator art in place, you may not think about magnets all that often, but, magnets are the driving force behind many products you use every day. Magnets can be found in nearly every room of your house, from your computer’s hard drive disk that’s coated with tiny magnets to store data, to your vacuum cleaner, which may have an electric motor that runs by magnetism. Magnets are everywhere -in your doorbell, microwave and even your blankets! Magnets even have the power to improve your shower. For instance, in the case of Moen’s Magnetix magnetic-docking showerhead, magnets provide added functionality and convenience.

Help Kids Get the Most out of Music Education Contributed Article StatePoint
As the list of known benefits of music education grows, you may be wondering how you can help your kids get the most out of their efforts. Here are five ways to help make music education a success. 1. Be encouraging. Learning music is hard work, but it shouldn’t feel that way. Keep it positive and be encouraging. Fostering a love of music is only possible if a child enjoys practicing and playing. If your child is taking lessons, be sure that is or her teacher practices a similar philosophy. 2. Get practical.

lighted keys, a voice fingering guide and a Step-up Lesson System, beginners are able to learn built-in songs at their own individual pace. The instrument can also connect to Casio’s Chordana Play app -- a free app that displays the correct keyboard position for both hands in real-time. The app is expandable through downloadable MIDI files, so students can customize lessons to their taste. 4. Pace yourself. Every child has his or her own musical aptitude and passion for learning. To ensure that your kids are neither overwhelmed nor bored, discover the pace that works best for each individual and don’t pressure anyone into rushing or slowing down. 5. Set goals. Whether it’s working to perfect a particular song, or it’s practicing for a talent show, setting achievable goals can be a great motivation for budding musicians.

Simple Tips for Managing Everyday Pain •

Many people suffer from lowgrade aches and pains stemming from common activities such as housework, yardwork or even sitting too long. Too often, minor pain affects a person’s quality of life. Physically, it can cause fatigue and sluggishness, making it more difficult to accomplish daily tasks.

Amerks Keep Rolling COLLECT 5 OF 6 POINTS OVER THE WEEKEND
Contributed Article Amerks.com
The Rochester Americans enter the week ranked fifth overall in the American Hockey League and sit seven points back of the Toronto Marlies for first place in the North Division with an 11-5-2-1 overall record. Their 11 wins are tied for fourth-most in the league. The Amerks claimed five out of a possible six points this past week and have collected at least one point in 10 of their last 11 games, including seven straight to open the month of November. Following a 6-5 overtime loss in Syracuse on Wednesday, Rochester closed out the week with back-to-back wins over Binghamton, beginning with a dominating 10-3 victory on Friday. It was the first time the Amerks scored 10 in a game since a 10-4 win over the Binghamton Senators on Dec. 16, 2006. They also became the first AHL team to reach the 10-goal mark since the Toronto Marlies handed the Amerks a 10-5 loss back on Feb. 27, 2016. Rochester completed the sweep the following night against the Devils, scoring twice in the third period to erase a 3-1 deficit before Casey Nelson provide the overtime winner. The Amerks lead the AHL in games played beyond regulation with eight this season, including two this past week. Rochester is 3-2 in overtime
and holds a 2-1 record in shootouts. After a back-and-forth battle throughout regulation, the Rochester Americans fell in overtime, 6-5, to the North Division rival Syracuse Crunch in a game that saw goals from 11 different players. Of the 17 games this season, Rochester has seen seven go beyond regulation play, two of which have been against the Crunch. The night was full of firsts on Rochester's end with Amerks forward Sean Malone scoring his first professional goal, defenseman Conor Allen netting his first goal as an Amerk and Evan Rodrigues picking up his first point of the season with an assist. Linus Ullmark, who entered the game on a careerlong five-game win streak, turned in a solid 43-save effort as Rochester was able to gain a point for the eighth time in its last nine games.

They also hold a record of 6-1-2-1 through their first 10 games in the month of November.

D i a ry
Don’t Be “THAT” Guy (Pt. 3) By Stefan Gestwicki Star Contributing Writer
•
This is the third (and likely final) installment in a series of articles about annoying people on the golf course. Sound like fun? Be sure to check out the first two parts of the series if you missed them. As a quick recap, we’ve discussed The Chronically Late Guy; The Unprepared Guy; The Pro VI Guy; The Foot Wedge Guy; The Never Shuts Up Guy; The Can’t Keep Score Guy; The None Shall Pass Guy; The Tee Box Revenge Guy; The “I Found It” Guy; The Shot Even Par Yesterday Guy; The Music Man; and lastly, The Texter. All of these stereotypes are just dreadful, but don’t breathe easy just yet. I have more. • The Man of 10,000 Practice Swings — If you’re going to have uneven footing, the ball is buried in some thick grass, there’s a tree in your backswing or some other odd hazard, by all means, take a few cuts before you hit the ball. No one wants to feel unprepared. If you need one or two practice swings on the tee box to loosen up your shoulders and back again after not taking a full swing in a few minutes, sure, I can buy that. But good grief how much do you despise that one guy who just won’t stop taking practice swings
•
and then probably just duffs the shot anyway? The Giant Divot Guy — This is the golfer that simply doesn’t respect the course owners, the other golfers or even the game itself. You know the one. Odds are, his divot usually goes further than the ball to start with, but then he just hops in his cart and drives away. Not all courses have the bottles to refill fairway divots, but at the very least go get that clump of grass and dirt and put it back where you found it. This is also the guy that doesn’t fix his ball marks on the green. While I’m at it, if you’re unsure how to fix a ball mark, go look it up. You don’t push up, you push in. Again, if that doesn’t make sense, please go look it up. It’s important stuff. The Golden Ball Guy — No one likes to lose a golf ball. It almost certainly means that you hit a lousy shot. It’s even more frustrating when you can’t find your ball that maybe just bounced off the fairway. But listen, if you’re out on the course on a busy day and there’s a group waiting behind you, just take the penalty stroke and drop a new ball instead of spending 10 minutes looking all over for it. Don’t even take a penalty, it doesn’t matter to me. Just go already. Maybe this is why you don’t buy the most expensive golf balls you find. I’m looking at you Pro VI Guy (part 1). This is also assuming you’re just playing casually, as
most of us usually do. • The Road Warrior — Why do some golfers find it so fun to drive the carts? Didn’t you drive a car to get to the course? Don’t you drive every day? I can see a 13-year old kid finding it exhilarating, but the “guy” that speeds around, slams on the brakes, bumps into the back of the other cart, etc. just has to go. These are expensive investments by the course. Again, have a little respect. Please don’t be this guy. • The Quote Guy — Happy Gilmore and Caddyshack are both excellent, hilarious movies. I’m never going to deny that. But here’s a tip: No one wants to hear, “You will not make this putt” when they’re lining up their birdie putt. We’re all familiar with Bill Murray’s “It’s in the hole” monologue. On a related note, have you ever noticed how terrible the greens are in golf movies? Go watch Caddyshack again. It’s like they’re putting on the fairway of a poorly maintained course. I never really caught that until I started playing golf, I suppose. Believe it or not, I actually have more “guys” to avoid playing with or (heaven forbid) being. But that’s probably enough for this series. We’ll see what golf-related topics pop into my head during the next week. Until then, golf is great. Go get some.
AMERKS KEEP ROLLING, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 27 The Amerks scored three goals in the opening 5:18 of the game to chase Blackwood from the crease early on as Nylander and Rodrigues added their first markers of the season before Malone slipped a backhanded shot over the glove of the netminder with 14:42 left in the stanza. "It was an awesome game," Fasching said. "The fans were into the game as they were loud and it is not that often you get that many goals in a game. As a team, we have a lot of positive energy and are feeling pretty good about our game, but we have to just keep working on getting better and better each day." As the first-period horn sounded, the Amerks held a 5-2 lead on the scoreboard and a 17-9 shot advantage. Guhle gave Rochester a three-goal cushion at the 10:44 mark of the middle period, but the Devils added a goal late before the end of the stanza. "We had great first period, but after the second, despite having the lead, we were not happy how we played," said Amerks head coach Chris Taylor. "We sort of got away from our game plan during the period, but I was happy the way we came out in the third." Carrying a 6-3 lead into the final period, the Amerks scored four goals in a span of 3:14 to make it a 10-3 game.
The Rochester Americans (11-5-2-1) trailed the Binghamton Devils (6-9-3-0) by a 3-1 score entering the third period, but two quick goals in a 4:04 span followed by the game-winner from Casey Nelson capped a 4-3 come-from-behind overtime win for Amerks to conclude the two-game sweep over the Devils Saturday at Floyd L. Maines Veterans Memorial Arena. With the win, the Amerks improved to 6-1-2-1 in their last 10 games while collecting 21 out of a possible 28 points dating back to Oct. 25. They also hold a record of 7-1-2-1 through 11 games in the month of November. Zach Redmond opened the scoring 1:52 into the game for the Amerks and later added an assist to give him six points (2+4) over his last six games while Kevin Porter chipped in a pair of helpers to push his point streak to three games. Rookies Brendan Guhle and C.J. Smith tallied their fifth and sixth goals of the season, respectively, and Adam Wilcox earned his second victory of the slate, stopping 16 of 19 shots. Rookie forward Blake Spears notched his first-career multi-point (1+1) effort for the Devils, who dropped their third-straight overtime game this season. Kevin Rooney and Yaroslav Dyblenko rounded out the scoring for Binghamton. Meanwhile, goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood, who made his fourth straight start, took the overtime loss.

Contributed Article Autotrader
Merriam-Webster defines a coupe as "a 2-door automobile often seating only two persons." Virtually all automotive enthusiasts share this definition, too -- especially the part about "a 2-door automobile." Apparently, there are several product people at several major automakers who need a dictionary on their desk -- or a consultation from car enthusiasts -because what passes as a coupe these days is not even close to actually being a coupe. Take, for instance, the Toyota C-HR, where "C-HR" stands for "Coupe - High Rider." Except...this is a small crossover with five doors. Or consider BMW, and the current 6 Series lineup, where you've got a convertible and a Gran Coupe. Guess how many doors the Gran Coupe has. If you guessed two, your guess makes perfect sense -- but it's wrong. This thing is just a 4-door sedan. And it's the same story with the 4 Series Gran Coupe. Next, let's swing by Mercedes-Benz, the ultimate king of the non-coupe coupe. Click on the "Coupes" section of their website and you'll find not one, but two 4-door sedans -- the CLA "Coupe" and the CLS "Coupe." But Mercedes is just getting started. Take a look at their crossovers, and you'll find the GLC Coupe and the GLE Coupe, which are similar to the oddly proportioned BMW X6. Mercedes says
the GLC Coupe has "sporty coupe styling with SUV is proven wrong. But when it comes to style, a coupe utility." Sporty coupe styling? Yeah, sure -- this eggis a coupe, and everything else isn't. In this case, you shaped, 5-door crossover looks just like an AMG GT. just can't have it all. I could go on and on with examples, but my question is ... why? Why take a vehicle that is absolutely, decidedly, by definition not a coupe and call it a coupe? Does that marketing strategy really work? Does anyone really think a BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe is just as sporty as an M4 because they're both "coupes"? To me, the problem lies in the promise that you can have it all in one vehicle: You can have the versatility of an SUV or a sedan and the sleek style of a coupe, all wrapped into one. I'm not saying it's impossible for a practical crossover or a family-sized sedan to be a beast on the track, as there are plenty of examples where that idea
