Cool Summer Treats
By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
During the summer, I hear a request for Popsicles approximately four hundred times a day. Ok, that's a total exaggeration. But when it's hot and young kids keep repeating the same question, it can definitely feel like a much higher number. I don't necessarily mind buying Popsicles, but I do often wonder exactly what is in those colorful creations. One way to be certain of the ingredients, is by making things yourself. This is one of the number one reasons I prefer baking and cooking from scratch. No preservatives, chemicals, dyes, etc. I promise that I am not trying to sway your personal eating habits, these are just our own concerns and guidelines for our family. There's also the added fun of making something yourself, which you get plenty of in making your own treats and food. There are some ingredients in the following recipes that are quite obviously not completely homemade, but they are used in moderation, and you control the amount. For all of these recipes, you will need Popsicle molds or cups and wooden Popsicle sticks. You will also need a blender or a really strong arm, mixing bowl and a whisk. Here are some super simple, easy, and delicious recipes for homemade Popsicles, enjoy! Fruit juice pops • Fruit juice (any kind) • Popsicle molds Too often, I think we forget how simple the concept of a Popsicle is. It's frozen liquid with a stick in it. Something that can easily be duplicated. The easiest way to make a Popsicle is to use your favorite juice and freeze it. These will need to be frozen overnight, but the only work they really require is the waiting time. Just pour some juice into the mold of cups, freeze and serve! Nutella pops • 1-2 Tbsp. Nutella • 1-2 Cups Almond milk
This recipe is waiting in our freezer right now. Which means that I am also waiting. I used an immersion blender for this recipe, which is actually our blender of choice. At one point we had a nice big blender that we had to wash constantly and over-thoroughly, and when it wasn't being washed it was busy leaking. It was time to switch/replace appliances. We make a lot of smoothies, so the immersion blender with a plastic cup was the way to go for us. I blended up the Nutella with a cup of almond milk, and then poured it into three small plastic cups. This will take at least one overnight stay in the freezer to become solid. Makes 3-6 servings. Again, just mix, pour, freeze, and serve! Yogurt pops • 1 cup yogurt • 1 cup milk • 1 cup fruit There are so many different kinds of Popsicles that could be made with this recipe.
With all the different yogurt flavors and fresh fruit available during the summer, the possibilities are practically endless. Just blend together your yogurt, milk and fruit until smooth. Pour, freeze and serve! Makes 4-6 Popsicles Fruit & Juice pops • 1 cup juice • 1 cup fruit This is almost as simple as the first recipe, but with a little mixing involved. Using a blender, mix together the fruit and juice until smooth. Again, endless possibilities here. You could even use lemonade instead of juice to make strawberry or watermelon lemonade pops. Get as creative as you'd like. Pour, freeze, and serve! All of these recipes will make about 4-6 servings, but as long as you have the necessary supplies, they can easily be doubled. As always, thanks for reading! Happy freezing!

Pokémon Go™ and You FAQS ABOUT THE POPULAR APP By Rhiannon Vercant Star Pokémon Master
Even here in Chautauqua County you can see groups of people walking together with their cell phones out as they look for Pokémon. As the Chautauqua Star’s resident Pokémon expert, I’ve been asked to explain the basics of the app, how it works, and how it can benefit small businesses in our area several times in the past few weeks. Here are some commonly asked questions about Pokémon Go and of how it can be used to promote your business: What is it? Pokémon Go is a new mobile app for Android and Apple phones, based on the popular 90’s Pokémon franchise. For those who are unfamiliar with Pokémon, the series concentrates on characters who travel their world catching creatures called Pokémon, who they then train to battle with other trainers’ Pokémon. The ultimate goal is become a Pokémon master and ‘catch ‘em all’. Pokémon Go is an augmented reality game that brings this key aspect of the series into the real world, allowing players to travel their own communities and catch virtual Pokémon. So how does it work? The app uses the location and time information on a player’s phone to place virtual Pokémon on a corresponding map. It’s similar to how any GPS navigation app uses the same information to give you directions, only instead Pokémon Go uses this information to determine what type of Pokémon a player can find near them. As a player walks around their community, the app will notify them if a Pokémon is nearby. If they hold up their phone and scan their environment-as if you were taking a photo-in certain areas they will see the graphic of a Pokémon in the area around them. They can then attempt to catch the Pokémon they see. If they succeed, they get points. There’s much more to leveling up and points, but those are the basics. What does this have to do with my business? You might have heard about many small businesses taking advantage of Pokémon Go to help promote them-
selves. But how does a game about catching imaginary monsters help a business? Enter the Pokéstop; the key to how small businesses are promoting themselves with Pokémon Go. PokéStops are special locations where players can go to collect in-game benefits, and trust me when I say players will go to these locations. A friend of mine was rather excited to learn there are six of these PokéStops near my house the other day while he was visiting, and immediately wanted to go for a walk to collect the benefits. If your business is a PokéStop or is nearby one, it could be a great way to draw in customers. Libraries, post offices, restaurants, and public parks are all common locations of a PokéStop. How do I tell if my business is a PokéStop? Right now, the only official way to tell if a location is a PokéStop is to download the game (or find the nearest millennial) and check in the game, which will indicate if a location is a PokéStop. There are a few groups online dedicated to mapping out known locations, but so far nothing official has been published. What if my business isn’t a PokéStop, or I don’t have the game? If your business isn’t a PokéStop but you’d like it to be you used to be able to go to the official Pokémon Go website and submit a request to become one. However this feature has recently been suspended. But just because new PokéStops can’t be requested right now doesn’t mean you can’t use the app to draw in customers. In-game features like Pokémon lures will make more Pokémon appear where you place them, which will also attract players. This method requires someone who plays Pokémon Go, so if you aren’t a player or don’t know one you can always just offer specials to Pokémon Go players. Some businesses have offered special discounts to players who prove they have caught Pokémon near their business. I’ve even seen images of restaurants who give discounts to players depending on what team they are on. (Yes, there are teams too.) With a little bit of research and creativity businesses can use Pokémon Go to draw in customers, even if they don’t have the app.

Pujan Shrestha, MD, Now Seeing Patients in Westfield Contributed Article Brooks Memorial Hospital
Meet Pujan Shrestha, MD. He’s as delightful as his photo suggests. With a kind face and soft spoken demeanor, one can tell right away that Dr. Pujan Shrestha is listening with a keen ear. Dr. Shrestha, one of several young energetic Ob/Gyn Physicians with Lake Erie Medical Services (LEMS), is now seeing patients at Westfield Memorial Hospital. An adventure sport enthusiast with a healthy lifestyle, Dr. Shrestha chose to live and work in Chautauqua County for its proximity to Lake Erie and to pursue his love of windsurfing. As for why he chose to join LEMS in particular, Dr. Shrestha describes how this private physician practice is receptive to his focus on healthy nutrition for healthy moms and families. He states, “I firmly believe that healthy nutrition and an active lifestyle are an important part of disease prevention in women. Mothers have the power to make healthy meal choices for their family. I encourage my patients to be active with their children; to eat colorful fruits and vegetables; and to cut back on sweets. Healthy moms create healthy families!” Pujan Shrestha, MD, received his medical degree from Kathmandu University in 2007. After gaining valuable experience working with underserved population in rural Nepal, he completed residency training in Obstetrics and Gynecology at SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse. Dr. Shrestha was born and raised in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal surrounded by the highest mountains in the world, including Mount Everest. He states, “My foundational experience working in rural Nepal has provided me with an insight to the role of nutrition within
Dr. Pujan Shrestha
the OB/GYN field and how much of a difference healthy habits can make in women’s overall health.” During his time working in rural Nepal, Dr. Shrestha learned life lessons that he carries with him today. “People in rural Nepal walked for days to get access to healthcare. The community was poor and there were no resources. Seeing this helped me realize the critical importance of access to quality healthcare and nutrition, especially for women”. Dr. Shrestha is a proud recipient of The Gold Humanism Honor Society Award for clinical excellence and compassion in patient care twice; first in 2011 and recently in 2014. He is currently an active candidate for American Boards of Obstetrics and Gynecology. LEMS staffs a clinic at Westfield Memorial Hospital from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on the second floor Specialty Services suite. Providing a full spectrum of obstetrical & gynecological services with the personalized care women deserve through each stage of their lives, LEMS Ob/Gyn services are also located in Fredonia and Dunkirk.

Understanding Heat Stress and Other Heat Illnesses Contributed Article Westfield Memorial Hospital
With summer more than half way over, some folks are thinking fall. But the sun and hot temperatures are still here along with the illnesses that come with it. When the temperature rises outside, your body may have trouble keeping its internal temperature at a safe level. As a result, your body temperature may rise to unsafe levels. Heat stress, heat tiredness, heat cramps, and heat exhaustion are all forms of hyperthermia, the general name for a whole range of heat-related illnesses. Symptoms may include headache; nausea; skin that is dry and not sweating, skin that is hot and red; muscle spasms; and extreme tiredness after exposure to heat. These illnesses can develop quickly and can also be very dangerous to your health How your body handles heat To function, your body requires your core temperature stay close to normal which is a temperature of 98.6°F (37°C). If the environment is hot or you are very active, your body heats up. To keep your core temperature stable, your body releases excess heat into the air. The heat leaves your body in two ways: from the blood vessels near the skin's surface and through sweat. Blood flow cools your body When your body needs to release heat, the blood vessels near the surface of your skin widen. Extra blood flows through them. This extra blood brings more body heat to the surface, which releases it into the air. Your body needs enough water and minerals, such as sodium, to keep blood flowing smoothly to these vessels and to the rest of the body. Sweat carries away heat If increased blood flow alone isn't enough, your body also increases the amount that you sweat. As sweat dries or evaporates, it cools the skin. As you sweat, your body loses water (and some minerals such as sodium and potassium). This water (and minerals) must be replaced to keep you feeling well and healthy, and to allow further sweating. Conditions that contribute to heat
stress • Too much activity: The more active you are, the more heat your muscles generate. Heavy physical activity also sets up competition between your muscles and skin for the blood supply. • High environmental temperature: As the temperature in your environment goes up, so does your body temperature. When it's hot from the sun or another heat source, such as a furnace, your body can't move heat into the air as effectively. • Too little air movement: Air moving across your skin carries away heat brought to the surface by blood vessels. It also helps sweat evaporate. Too little air movement means these processes don't work as well. • High humidity: Humidity is the amount of moisture in the air. The higher the humidity, the less sweat evaporates. That's because the air is too wet to absorb more moisture. • Medical problems: Some medical conditions, including diabetes and heart failure, can increase your susceptibility to heat stress. • Medicine: If you take medicine for heart rate, asthma, kidney disease, or to manage fluid retention, you may be more sensitive to heat. How to handle heat illnesses If you suspect someone is suffering from a heat-related illness, here are some things you can do: • Get the victim out of the sun and into a cool place — preferably one that is air-conditioned. • Offer fluids, but not alcohol or caffeine. Water and fruit and vegetable juices are best. • Encourage the person to sponge off with cool water. • Urge the person to lie down and rest, preferably in a cool place. • Seek emergency medical attention if you suspect heat stroke. Possible symptoms of heat stroke include: • Headache • Dizziness • Confusion or agitation • Sluggishness or extreme tiredness • Seizure
• Hot, dry skin that is flushed but not sweaty • High body temperature • Loss of consciousness • Rapid heartbeat • Hallucinations Avoid heat illness and keep cool If you can't afford air conditioning try some of these methods: • Open your windows at night. • Create a cross breeze by opening windows on opposite sides of the room or house. • Cover windows when they're in direct sunlight. Keep curtains, shades, or blinds drawn during the hottest part of the day. • Dampen your clothing with water and sit in the breeze from a fan. • Spend at least 2 hours a day (the hottest part, if possible) in an air-conditioned place like a library, senior center, or friend's house. For senior citizens, who are more
susceptible to heat injuries, check with the local area agency on aging for a program that provides window air conditioners to seniors who qualify. If you can't afford to run your air conditioner, ask your local area agency on aging or senior center if they know of programs that can help you with cooling bills. Other ideas: • Dress for the weather. Some people find natural fabrics like cotton to be cooler than synthetic fibers. Lightcolored clothes feel cooler than dark colors. If you aren't sure what to wear, ask a friend or family member for help. • Don't try to exercise, walk long distances, or do a lot when it's hot. • Avoid the sun. • Take cool baths or showers. • Don't go to crowded places when it's hot outside. • Listen to weather and news reports. In times of extreme heat, there will often be local sites where people can go to cool down.

Adversity naturally sounds like a bad thing, but an opportunity to overcome a difficult situation can actually be a valuable gift, say experts. “Times of adversity are simply stepping-stones to live a better life,” says Coach Michael Taylor, author of the new book, “Adversity is Your Greatest Ally.” “They’re neither good nor bad until you choose to label them.” Born in the projects, a victim of child abuse and a high school dropout, Taylor was well-acquainted with hardship in childhood, and has been no stranger to it in adulthood. His new book details his journey to success and happiness, offering advice to others seeking to do the same. While Taylor cites success stories of notable scientists, artists and entertainers like Albert Einstein, Jay Z and Oprah Winfrey as examples of those who surmounted life’s hurdles, he firmly believes that anyone with the right attitude and habits can make an upward leap. Here, Taylor offers five keys he says are needed to overcome adversity. • You must be willing to take responsibility for your life: You can’t blame your parents, where you were born, or the color of your skin. You can’t blame lack of education, an ex-spouse, or your age. Decide that you’re going to take 100 percent responsibility for your life and make it happen. • You must be willing to leave your comfort zone: Fear is a choice. You can choose to let it keep you from accomplishing your goals, or you can feel the fear and do it anyway. Learn to become comfortable with being uncomfortable if you truly want to accomplish extraordinary things. • You must commit to growth: Upgrading your inner software means that you’re willing to look at the subconscious beliefs that may be limiting your potential. Read books and take classes that provide you with the knowledge and support to accomplish goals and feel better about yourself. The key is committing to never-ending improvement. • You must develop a positive attitude: If you’re truly committed to turning your adversities into allies, it is necessary to develop a positive attitude. A negative attitude makes life’s challenges more difficult to overcome. • You must discover your unique gifts: Everyone has special gifts and talents. When expressed, you will find your true purpose in life. If you’ve forgotten what yours are or have given up on sharing them with the world, rest assured they are within you. Gifts are not necessarily something you do; they are primarily about who you are. For example, being loving and caring is a gift. Being intelligent and analytical is also a gift.

With patience and persistence, you can turn the page on a challenging chapter in your life and write your own story.
Community Opiate Overdose Response Training August 9 Contributed Article CCDHHS
The Chautauqua County Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is sponsoring a free opioid overdose response (Narcan) training on Tuesday, August 9 at 4 p.m. at Chautauqua Alcoholism & Substance Abuse Council (CASAC), 501 West Third St., Suites 3 and 4, Sprinchhorn Building, in Jamestown. The class is open to the public and will provide training to community members who wish to learn to respond to an opioid overdose by administering naloxone, also known as Narcan. Narcan is an opioid antagonist which reverses opiate effects of sedation and respiratory depression during an opioid overdose. Narcan can be administered by first responders or
friends and family of someone who is experiencing an opiate overdose. The goal of the training is to prevent death and other negative consequences of opioid overdose by training nonmedical responders to recognize a suspected opioid overdose and to take appropriate action. The learning objectives for participants include: identifying risk factors for overdose, recognizing the signs of an overdose, performing techniques to stimulate someone who appears to have overdosed, correctly performing rescue breathing, and correctly administering naloxone. Upon successful completion of the 90 minute training, each participant will be provided with a certificate and a free naloxone (Narcan) kit. The training is open to the public. Please call CASAC at 716-664-3608 to register for the training as spots are limited.

Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org
Dear Pastor, with the
recent conventions and upcoming elections, its politics, politics, politics, all the time! I think I’m sick of politics and don’t want to be involved. What’s my obligation as a Christian? While I understand your feelings of frustration, I want to caution you that this is not the time to give up. Because we don’t wrestle with flesh and blood enemies (despite what it looks like), we must remember that our true enemy is waiting for Believers to get passive.
Ephesians 6:12 declares that Satan is an eternal and opportunistic enemy. Don’t get casual in your prayerful vigilance! In 1Timothy 2:1-4 we find out what our FIRST priority is when in comes to politics. It reads “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; (2) For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. (3) For this is good and acceptable in the
sight of God our Savior; (4) Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” This scripture says that an important part of our prayer life needs to be focused on those who govern as well as those in authority. It doesn’t say to pray until you get who you want in political positions. These people need our prayers more now than ever. The pressure to compromise, along with moral and ethical temptations, will be ever-present to corrupt even well-intentioned
politicians. This is why we must continue to pray for our elected officials. This scripture tells us that if we pray our part, God would make sure we lead a quiet and peaceful life. When you see yourself as a servant of Christ and part of God’s bigger plan, you’ll be more likely to keep a better perspective when it comes to politics. Regardless of what we see, there’s a much bigger plan for the country and for all the people on Earth. In the passage above, verse 14 tells us
family church F R E D O N I A
that God desires that all people come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. So do first things first and continue to pray for all those in authority!
Walk to End Alzheimer’s To Return to Dunkirk Oct. 1 Contributed Article Alzheimer’s Association WNY Chapter
The Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. Across Western New York, there are six such Walks organized by the local Association Chapter. The Walks are a vital source of funding for local services and resources, and for funding research into a disease that kills more people than breast and prostate cancers combined, and touches almost a quarter of a million people across the greater Buffalo Niagara region. Participants raise funds through various means including asking family, friends and co-workers for support, donating the proceeds for creative fundraisers such as “Casual for a Cause” days in the workplace and lemonade stands. Eleven-year-old Jake Oberg has been taking part since before he could walk. “My grandpa died of Alzheimer’s...and I walk with my mom because I don’t think anyone else should lose their grandpa to this disease.” Jake has raised more than $7,000 with a lemonade stand and baked goods sale to support his Walk team, which has also earned him some special incentives. The Dunkirk Walk will take place at Point Gratiot Park (Point Drive & Route 5) on Saturday, October 1, 2016. On-line registration is available now at alz.org/ WNY. On-site registration and check-in, basket and 50/50 raffles and refreshments will be available from 9-10 a.m. with a brief opening ceremony to launch the Walk at 10.
In addition to fundraising participants, the Walks rely on hundreds of volunteers and the support of corporate sponsors like Elderwood. “Eighty-five percent of residents in skilled care facilities exhibit at least some form of dementia including Alzheimer’s.” Anna Bojarczuk-Foy is Elderwood’s Director of Business Development. “Understanding first-hand the personal and health care ramifications of dementia, Elderwood has a long-standing history of supporting the Alzheimer’s Association through its Walk to end this disease. Finding a cure is one of the single most important goals in extending and improving the lives of the elderly in our communities.” Northtown Auto Group is also a major Walk sponsor. Mike Ahern is the company’s Chief Marketing Officer. “Northtown Automotive is very proud to continue to support the mission set forth by the Alzheimer’s Association WNY Chapter. We understand the importance of supporting our community and have done so for over 45 years. Doing our part to support the Walk is a way for our organization to make a difference to thousands and thousands of WNY families who know the impact of this disease. We are confident these efforts will one day find a cure." Additional corporate sponsors include Cellino and Barnes, WDCX Radio and Tim Horton’s. The Dunkirk Walk is also made possible by the support of generous local companies, including Fredonia Place and Chautauqua Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. Walks are also planned in Olean, Buffalo, Batavia,

Veteran Service Agency Prevention Works: Decoding the Advertising Message Director Gary Chilcott To Retire Contributed Article
Contributed Article
CASAC
Office of County Executive
Messages promoting alcohol, tobacco and other drugs are pervasive. These messages come from many sources including movies, television, radio, music, billboards, magazines, sporting events, community festivals, posters, t-shirts and the internet. Media messages about alcohol, tobacco and other drugs provide opportunities for individuals to learn how to use, circumstances where it is acceptable or desirable to use, how to improve their use techniques and an association with positive consequences of use. Advertising the two most abused drugs, alcohol and tobacco, alone provides ample opportunities for high-risk messages about these substances. The alcohol and tobacco industries spend millions of dollars each year marketing their products, and for a good reason: it works. Media messages do not only impact the individual. They also play a key role in establishing community norms, which creates environmental change. Research has shown that increased exposure, in addition to youth appeal equals an increase in underage drinking overall. While parents and peers have significant influence on a child's decision to drink, so too does alcohol advertising and marketing. Parents cannot possibly shield their children from every alcohol advertisement, but we can make it a teachable moment, by helping them to decode the advertising message through media literacy. Simply put, media literacy is the ability to read between the lines of advertising to recognize the influence of media messages. Children who are media literate can look and listen with a critical eye and ear, helping them to make healthier lifestyle choices and avoid the pressures fueled by media messages to drink, smoke or use other drugs. To start this important conversation with your children, try this quick and simple exercise: Watch any TV show with your child. When the commercials come on, ask your child to pay close attention and then pose these questions to help decode the message: • Who do you think created this commercial? • What techniques did they use to get your attention? • What do they want you to do after seeing their message? • Is this message true? • Would this be a healthy choice for you? • Do you think your health and safety are important to the ad sponsor? • How do you feel about it now? Most ads do not sell a product, but a belief of what the product can do. The media's glamorous portrayal of alcohol encourages many teens to believe that drinking will make them cool, popular, attractive, happy and that everyone drinks alcohol. However, as a parent, you can help combat these dangerous myths by watching ads with your child and discussing how alcohol is being portrayed in each ad. It doesn't have to be an alcohol advertisement to be a learning experience. The key is to teach your child that no matter the product being promoted, there is an advertiser with an intended message and often times the advertising messages are untrue or exaggerated. It is up to your child to think critically to interpret the message and apply it to his or her life appropriately.
Chautauqua County Executive Vince Horrigan announced today that Chautauqua County Veterans Service Agency Director Gary Chilcott will retire from his position effective November 11, 2016. Chilcott was appointed director of the agency in December 2013 following a 28-year career in the Air Force and 15 years in public education. “I am deeply appreciative of the passion and commitment of the dedicated Veteran Service Agency personnel, our numerous federal, state, and county departments along with our veteran service organizations that continue to support the needs of our 11,000 Chautauqua County veterans and their families,” said Chilcott. “I am grateful to have had the opportunity to serve our veteran community that has so enriched all of our lives.” “Colonel (Ret.) Gary Chilcott has been an incredible leader and strong advocate for Chautauqua County Veterans,” said Horrigan. “His exemplary military and public service careers have set a very high standard and he will be deeply missed. Gary has strengthened our service to area veterans and successfully delivered new programs, support services and achieved amazing results. I salute Gary and wish he and his wife, Cindy all the best in retirement.” Horrigan has begun the process of finding a replacement and will establish a bipartisan search committee to help him find the most qualified individual to serve as the new director.

Mammoth Exhibit Opening at Catt. County Museum on August 6 Contributed Article Cattaraugus County Museum
The Cattaraugus County Museum is thrilled to announce that the Randolph mammoth has returned to Cattaraugus County. The remains of the mammoth, found during work to dig a new pond at the State fish hatchery outside of Randolph in May of 1934, have been at the State Museum in Albany for most of the past 82 years. Now they have returned to Cattaraugus County for an exhibit that is scheduled to last a year. The grand opening for this exciting new exhibit is scheduled for Saturday, August 6. The museum will open at 10 a.m., with a special talk given by Dr. Robert Feranec at 1 p.m. Dr. Feranec is currently the Curator of Vertebrate
Paleontology and Curator of Modern Mammals at the NY State Museum in Albany. His research is focused on understanding how ecology changes in mammals over time.

The possibilities are endless. If you can dream it, you can make it, and all pieces will be a one of a kind item. We will be offering classes for scarf making, so watch our facebook page for the classes. I will also be making items for our giftshop including vests, scarves, wraps, and rugs.

The trio performs music made famous by famous women throughout the decades. They also can’t resist performing covers by male bands like Led Zeppelin and the Allman Brothers.

Opera House Cinema Series to Screen “Hunt for the Wilderpeople” Contributed Article Fredonia Opera House
The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is the New Zealand adventure film, “Hunt for the Wilderpeople,” starring Sam Neill. It will be screened on Sat., Aug. 6, and Tues., Aug. 9, at 7:30 p.m. In “Hunt for the Wilderpeople,” Ricky Baker (newcomer Julian Dennison), a defiant young city kid, is sent by child welfare services to live in the country with foster parents, Aunt Bella and cantankerous Uncle Hec (Neill). When Bella suddenly passes away and child services decides to take Ricky back to a care home, Ricky runs away into the bush with Uncle Hec in pursuit. Child services arrive to find the house empty, and come to the conclusion a bereaved and mentally unstable Hec has abducted Ricky. A national manhunt ensues, and the two have to get over their differences to survive. The film scored a rare 99 percent rating on RottenTomatoes.com and has won
audience choice awards from numerous independent film festivals. Tom Long, in the Detroit News, calls the film “a hoot with heart.” Barry Hertz, in the Toronto Globe & Mail, calls it “101 minutes of pure comic joy.” Todd McCarthy, in the Hollywood Reporter, calls it “a deliciously good time at the movies.” Kenneth Turan, in the Los Angeles Times, says “every once in a while, a small, unheralded film comes along, so smart and funny, such a pleasure to experience, you can't believe your luck. ‘Hunt for the Wilderpeople’ is such a film.” Rated PG-13 for thematic elements including violent content, and for some language, “Hunt for the Wilderpeople” runs one hour, 41 minutes. The Opera House Cinema Series is sponsored by Lake Shore Savings Bank. Additional support comes from the United Arts Appeal of Chautauqua County, the Arts Services Initiative of WNY Inc., and the Give for Greatness program. Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students) the

New Era Under Way at Rose Brook Golf Course By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
“We’re all in.” Those were the words of Gary Cerne, who along with Myra Pinker, form the new ownership team at Rose Brook Golf Course. Cerne and Pinker originally bought into Rose Brook in 2015 and owned one-third of the course while getting their feet wet and learning some of the nuances of golf course management. Then out of the blue, the pair was given the opportunity for full ownership. “It was very unexpected,” Cerne noted. “We were happy just being owners of a third. The previous owners had been doing it for something like 20 years and they were more than happy to turn the whole thing over to us. We just said, ‘yeah, let’s give it a shot.’” The work started immediately both on the course and in the clubhouse. “We started working on the clubhouse right when we took over in January,” Cerne explained. “We gutted the clubhouse and rebuilt the kitchen. Moving forward we want to remake the bar area. People can expect a brand new look next golf season.” This year’s absurd lack of rain has presented something of a trail by fire for the new owners. “It’s been quite a challenge,” Cerne admitted. “It’s just bad luck on our part. The first year we take over we get a historic drought. But we’re fighters. We’ll keep after it. I’m out there every night running the sprinklers. We learn something new every day. “I’d like to really work on the irrigation system,” he added. “We put a lot of money into it so far, but it had been neglected for many years. The situation we’re in now made that even more important. It’s a crazy situation. The pumps in the ponds are above the water level. Lately we’ve been pumping out of the creek. If I can keep the greens green, I’ll be happy.” The weather hasn’t been the only obstacle. “The biggest challenge was probably the equipment issues we had early on,” Cerne said. “A lot of our equipment is pretty old. We put a lot of time getting engines up and running.” Even with the less-than-ideal conditions and all of the improvement projects completed or in the works, Cerne and Pinker have managed to lower prices, offering some outstanding deals nearly every day of the week. “We’re sympathetic to our clientele,” Cerne stated. “This is Chautauqua County. We live here. We know the people here. People don’t have a lot of money but they want to golf. If we can pay the bills and still lower prices, I’m more than happy to do that.”

Vineyards Takes Interclub Tournament
The Hillview Team (Photo by Stefan Gestwicki)
By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
Vineyards Golf Course defeated its neighbor Hillview Golf Course in an interclub tournament on Saturday morning held at both courses. It was raining at the start of the tournament, but the weather cleared as the day went on and a number of golfers put up some great scores. Hillview’s Mark Boticello owned the low score of the day with a 72. The trio of Jake Szymczak, Alec Ambrose and Bob Golubski all tied for the low Vineyards score at 75.
It was actually the seventh year of the tournament for the Vineyards crew as the course used to take on Sugar Hill before Hillview jumped into the mix last year. Hillview won last year, so the series between the two Berry Road courses is now tied at one apiece. The tournament was all scratch scores. Hillview had 28 golfers while Vineyards had 36, but only used their best 28 scores. There was surprisingly little trash talk. “Bob Manning, Ang Leone and I get along pretty well,” Vineyards owner Rich Mancuso said. “It’s mostly about bragging rights.” A buffet was held after the event at Vineyards with catering by Tom’s of Irving. Closest to the pin contests were won by Bob Manning on Hillview’s No. 5 and Jeongwoo Kwak on Vineyard’s No. 9. Skins were won by Ross Conti (Vineyard No. 1), Jim Polvino (Vineyard No. 7), Jake Szymczak (No. 9 Vineyard) and Ross Corbin (Hillview No. 8).

KICKBALL, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 35 “FPWR is putting a lot of focus on studies of mental illness this year,” Lisa continued. “Up to 60 percent of people with PWS develop some sort of mental illness in their lifetime. It’s a high prevalent problem and there aren’t a lot of great mental health resources. That’s been an area of real need. I’m glad we can contribute to that.” Silver Creek Central School itself should also be commended for allowing the tournament to be held on its grounds. “They made it really easy,” Mike said. “One email and it was done.” There are a number of resources available for individuals and families dealing with PWS, or for those just looking to learn more about the disorder and the types of daily challenges it presents. As noted above, www.fwpr.org is the website for the Foundation for Prader-Willi Research. The PWS Association is more of a parent advocacy and support organization and can be found at www.pwsausa.org. “We have some educational brochures here,” Lisa added. “There are a lot of people that are new here that are just learning about PWS for the first time. It’s important that they understand what it’s like every day to have to lock your cabinets and lock your refrigerator. There are other health concerns that come with it like scoliosis, central adrenal insufficiency and hyperphagia. There are lots of complicated medical things that make our daily lives more complex.” The event featured a large variety of raffle baskets, a “Guess how many Legos” contest, a kickball sale that got people entered into a chance to win Darien Lake tickets and a special American Girl doll raffle that raised over $1,000 on its own. “We hope to continue to do this event as long as we have the support,” Lisa concluded. “Our family and friends have worked really hard throughout the year and we’re so happy with the turnout. It’s a great event.”

SPORTS COMMENTARY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 35
I should mention that the following athletes and teams had remarkable success. In no way am I trying to say anything negative about any of them. Winning silver medals. Reaching the World Series. These are major accomplishments that should be celebrated. PHIL MICKELSON, GOLF — Mickelson became the inspiration for this commentary after finishing as the runner-up in a major for an astounding 11th time at this year’s British Open. Yes, Lefty has five major titles to his name, but it’s those 11 close calls that will probably end up being his legacy. This year he didn’t even choke. He shot a bogey-free round of 65 on Sunday but Henrik Stenson stole the show with a 63. That’s not to say Phil never choked one away. He definitely did. In the 2006 U.S. Open, Mickelson hit just two fairways. Two! Yet he entered the final hole with a one-shot lead. His drive hit a tent before his second shot got him into even bigger trouble. He finished with a double-bogey and lost to Geoff Ogilvy by a single stroke. He also lost the 2013 U.S. Open in heartbreaking fashion. He led the tournament after each of the first three days but fell apart on the final day with several missed shots and a pair of double-bogeys. Justin Rose went on to win by two strokes. FRANZISKA VAN ALMSICK, SWIMMING — van Almsick is one of the most accomplished swimmers ever. She was named the German Sportswoman of the Year in 1993, 1995 and 2002. She was the World Swimmer of the Year in 1993. Her 200 meter freestyle world record stood from Sept. 1994 to March 2007. In swimming, that’s an eternity (though she actually broke it herself in between there). So why is she on this list? She has won 10 Olympic medals…none of them gold. That hurts any way you slice it. She won four silvers and six bronzes. van Almsick was just 14 years old at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona when she won two silver and two bronze medals. She lost the 200m freestyle by just 15 centimeters. 1990’S ATLANTA BRAVES, BASEBALL — From 1991-1999, the Bobby Coxled Braves lost four World Series (and there was no Series in the strike-shortened 1994 season). They did win one in 1995 against the Cleveland Indians, who could probably be on this list, too. These Braves were some of the best teams I’ve ever seen with Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz giving them a pitching staff that couldn’t be rivaled. Chipper Jones, David Justice, Fred McGriff, Ryan Klesko, Javy Lopez and Marquis Grissom made for a deep, talented lineup. Unfortunately, they ran into the buzzsaw that was the New York Yankees. BUFFALO BILLS, FOOTBALL — While the Bills are something of a joke in today’s NFL because of a playoff drought that goes back to 1999, there was actually a time when they were the cream of the crop — at least in the AFC. The Bills famously reached and lost four straight Super Bowls. If that’s not the epitome of second-best, I don’t know what is. If you haven’t watched the ’30 for 30’ about those Bills teams, you’re doing yourself a disservice. It’s truly worth your time whether you’re a Bills fan or not. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES, FOOTBALL — Similar to the Bills above, but slightly worse. The Eagles of the early-2000’s lost three consecutive NFC Championship games before finally breaking through and reaching the Super Bowl in 2005…where they promptly lost to the New England Patriots. This Donovan McNabb-led team was stacked. Terrell Owens and Brian Westbrook were in their peaks. Jevon Kearse, Lito Sheppard and Brian Dawkins led a fearsome defense. Even kicker David Akers was arguably the best at his position in the NFL. They just couldn’t get over the hump. MIHO TAKEDA & MIYA TACHIBANA, SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING — These two Japanese Olympians simply couldn’t ever get past Russia. Their first Olympics were in 1996, where only the team event was held. Along with the rest of the Japanese team, they earned a bronze medal when Takeda was just 19 years old and Tachibana was 21. The pair competed in both the team event and as a duo in the 2000 Games, earning silver in both as Russia took both golds. As if the script was duplicated, the duo again earned a pair of silvers next to Russia’s golds in the 2004 Olympics. It’s not as if they’d be household names if they had won gold, but it would have been nice for them anyway. ANDY MURRAY, TENNIS — This one doesn’t seem quite fair since Murray just captured the 2016 Wimbledon title, but after further research, this guy has a seri-

ous history of coming in second. In fact, even with that Wimbledon win, Murray still has more major finals losses than wins this year (he finished second in both the 2016 Australian Open and French Open). Perhaps Murray’s biggest shortcoming is that he’s not Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic — the trio that has basically owned men’s tennis for more than a decade. Murray has now won three majors, but has finished second a whopping eight times. The Australian Open has been particularly cruel to Murray. The Glasgow, UK native finished second in that event in 2010, 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2016. That’s amazing. UTAH JAZZ, BASKETBALL — Karl Malone has scored the second-most points in NBA history. That’s a little nugget of information that can probably stump some of your friends. John Stockton has more assists and steals than anyone who has ever played the game. These two formed one of the best duos in basketball history. Yet they never won a title. The Jazz lost in the Western Conference Finals in 1992, 1994, and 1996 before finally advancing to the NBA Finals in both 1997 and 1998. You might recall a man by the name of Michael Jordan who was owning the NBA at the time. Yeah, the Jazz lost both of those Finals matchups to Jordan’s Bulls. Just for good measure, Malone even lost another NBA Finals while a member of the Lakers in 2004. Who do you think of when you think of second best? Let me know at stefang@ starmg.co.

Horrigan Goes Fishing With Essay Contest Winner Contributed Article Sports Fishery Advisory Board
Chautauqua County Executive Vince Horrigan recently traveled to Chautauqua Marina to go fishing with one of the two grand prize winners of the Chautauqua County Sports Fishery Advisory Board’s 24th Annual Fishing Essay Contest. Natalie Dossey, a third grader from Sinclairville Elementary School, and Alexander Haywood, a sixth grader from Washington Middle School, won the opportunity to go fishing with Horrigan after their essays were selected out of 318 well-written and thoughtful entries from 13 different schools across Chautauqua County. Haywood was unable to attend the fishing trip, but joining Horrigan and Dossey were Nathan Dossey, Natalie’s father; Dan Heitzenrater, Executive Assistant; and Craig Robbins, Chautauqua County Sports Fishing and Hunting Director and Chautauqua County Sports Fishery Advisory Board Member. Robbins volunteered his professional guide services for the day’s two-hour excursion and Ken Shearer, owner of Chautauqua Marina, contributed to the event by providing a boat for the trip. The Fishing Essay Contest gave students across Chautauqua County in third through sixth grades the opportunity to recall their fun fishing memories as they wrote about who they would like to fish with and why. In May, the County Executive joined Sports Fishery Advisory Board Chairman Zen Olow; sports fishery advisory board members; and county legislators at their local school districts to deliver certificates to students who participated. Teachers and principals also received fishing flies made by kids and adults at the Northern Chautauqua Conservation Club in Dunkirk through the Kids on the Fly Program. “Each year I am so impressed with the high quality of the fishing essays submitted by Chautauqua County students,” said Horrigan. “I congratulate the teachers and thank the Chautauqua County Sports Fishery Advisory Board for its dedication to the fishing essay contest and to the promotion of sport fishing across Chautauqua County.” This year the board selected 57 winners who all received fishing poles and certificates. From this group of winners, the County Executive then selected the two grand prize winners to go on a fishing trip. Winners for this year’s contest were for third grade: Mya Carmona and Makenzie Land, Dunkirk School #3; Katrina Schrantz, H.C. Fenner Elementary School; and Darrien Allen, Hannah Anthony, Jeramiah Brewer, Ava Burridge, Paige Dellahoy, Annaleesa Diabo, Kara Fote, Aliyah Hopkins, Dennis Odebralski, Mathew Runge, Sophia Semyenova, Aiden Test, and Bradley Windnagle, Sinclairville Elementary School. For fourth grade: Darieliz Dejesus, Bryan Thurston, and Samya Valle, Dunkirk School #3; Molly DiCara, Amelia Gates, and Quincy Tyrone Hester, Dunkirk School #5; Maive Leverentz, Pine Valley Central School; and Brayden Booth, Haleigh Cooper, Sharayah Fuller, Corinne Hovey, Kylie Morgan, and Harlee Morse; Panama Central School.
