believe. I believe that the single greatest stumbling block in a Christian’s walk of faith is putting action to their belief, especially when it doesn’t look like the circumstances have changed. Why is this? We have been trained to relay on our natural senses for what’s real. There is an old saying “I’ll believe it when I see it!” But faith requires us to set that aside and believe the promises of God, even when we DON’T see it! There is a quote from A.W. Tozer, a well-known Christian minister and writer, that says “Prayer will become effective when we stop using it as a substitute for obedience.” Basically, it Rev. Michael Lokietek isn’t enough to pray our faith, we Family Church Fredonia must act out our faith as well. And then we will see the manifestafcfredonia.org tions of the promises of God and answers to our prayers. #296 Dear Pastor, someone So how do we “do faith”? First, said that we aren’t in faith if decide that the Word is true. Then we aren’t “doing faith”. Huh? decide to ACT like it! For example, (Part 2) if you are believing for a better Last week we looked at the Biblimarriage, how about treating your cal definition of faith found in spouse, and speaking about your Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the spouse as if they were the person assurance of things hoped for, the that you prayed they would be? conviction of things not seen.” It’s This is doing faith. And like my great that we know that the Word momma used to say, “don’t forget is true but believing is only half the to tell your face.” Our unspoken battle…we must act on what we behaviors may be sabotaging what

our mouth is saying! And if you need help doing this, ask Him! Isaiah 61:3 tells us that we can receive a “trade” from the Lord, “beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that we might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified.” If you need strength to get you through this time of waiting, ask for it. If you need joy while you wait for a change in your marriage, ask for it! And then keep feeding your faith by meditating of your foundational scriptures, saying what you believe, and keep looking for the results!

Senator Young Visits Audubon Nature Center Contributed Article Audubon Nature Center
The Audubon Nature Center recently welcomed New York State Senator Cathy Young so they could show her how her support is helping them tackle the invasive water chestnut. Water chestnut is a fastgrowing annual herb that floats on the water with a single root to the bottom. Forming large mats that shade out native aquatic vegetation, it reduces oxygen levels for fish. Left alone, it can cover an entire water body so densely that nothing can easily navigate through it, reducing light to the bottom and significantly impacting other plants and animals. Native to southern Europe and Asia, it is not the same species used in Asian cooking. Audubon began a serious fight against water chestnut in 2012, but the extensive volunteer efforts over the next three summers were not enough to eradicate the invasion. “I really don’t know where we’d be without the help Senator Young has given us,” said Audubon
President Ruth Lundin. In 2015 Young submitted a Legislative Initiative to assist the Nature Center in its fight. Last summer the $30,000 Initiative that was approved through the Department of Environmental Conservation funded two days of herbicide application, the water chestnut coordinator who schedules and oversees volunteer pulling, and a motorized dump trailer. In 2016, it has funded the water chestnut coordinator, two invasive species control assistants, and the herbicide application. “Thanks to Senator Young’s efforts, the staff at the Nature Center can focus on summer day camps for kids, new adult programming, and the many ways we fulfill our mission of connecting people with nature while promoting environmental stewardship,” Lundin said. “We are so grateful for her support.” Other funders have included the Norcross Foundation and Audubon New York. Also assisting the 2016 work is Allegheny Outfitters’ donation of two kayaks and paddles.
Bemus Point resident, Brandon McElrath, is coordinating this summer’s attack on water chestnuts that began at Audubon on June 1. A recent graduate of Champlain College with a degree in Environmental Policy, McElrath needs the help of many volunteers. To volunteer or learn more, call (716) 569-2345 during business hours, email waterchestnut@ jamestownauduon.org, or visit www.jamestownaudubon.org and click on “Water Chestnut.” Additional gifts or loans of both kayaks and chest waders would be most appreciated. Service clubs, church groups, Scouts, families and individuals are invited to choose times when they can volunteer. Individuals who can bring kayaks, canoes, or chest waders should mention this when signing up. The Audubon Nature Center is at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62, between Jamestown, New York, and Warren, Pennsylvania.

WCA CEO Reports Year in Review at 21st Annual Meeting of the Corporations Contributed Article WCA Hospital
Betsy T. Wright, FACHE, WCA Hospital President/CEO, and affiliated board chairs delivered a recap of the past year’s accomplishments and financial summary at 21st Annual Meeting of The Corporations, “Advancing Health Care: The Path of Transformation” during a breakfast meeting held at the hospital on Thursday, June 16. To review the highlights of the annual meeting and/or read the annual report publication, go to wcahospital.org and click the link Annual Report To Our Community under the MEDICAL CARE listing, located on the home page. “As I reflect on the activities and accomplishments of this hospital over the past year, I am reminded time and time again of the incredible work that we do at WCA,” Mrs. Wright said. “This year has been a time of change, tremendous opportunities, and intentional undertakings that set the stage for what lies ahead while sustaining our 131-year mission to improve the health and wellbeing of those we serve.” Wright reported on a number of new service initiatives and noteworthy accomplishments over the past twelve months as well as a number of “health care firsts” in the area including being the only hospital in the area to introduce 3D mammography that has proven to find more invasive cancers than traditional 2D mammography screening; one of only four hospitals in
the country to receive VHA (Voluntary Hospital Association) honors that recognized the hospital for improvement in cost performance; the first hospital in the area to perform a new interventional drug-coated balloon angioplasty procedure in 2015; and first hospital in the state to announce an affiliation with UPMC (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center) that brings world-class medical care to southern Chautauqua. Mrs. Wright also reported on the WCA UPMC affiliation agreement that is targeted for final approval later this year. “We were very pleased to receive contingency approval from the Public Health and Health Planning Council of New York State to approve WCA and UPMC’s application to form an integration between the two organizations,” conveyed Wright. “The next regulatory steps in the affiliation process are approvals from the New York State Office of Mental Health and New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse. We remain confident that we can finalize the details of the agreement by late summer or year end.” Chair of the WCA Hospital Board of Directors, Steven Kilburn, added that the past year has been an historic year for WCA. “I am happy to report that we continue to make progress in completing the affiliation agreement with WCA and UPMC,” Kilburn said. “I am no less excited about this affiliation than I was when I first announced it last December. As a result of this integration, we will be well-positioned to provide excellent health care at this

Mrs. Wright closed the meeting by saying, “Patient excellence begins and ends with the dedication and commitment of our board and hospital leaders, employees, medical staff, volunteers, health partners, community leaders, and generous and giving donors and supporters who have the wisdom and insight that guides this great institution to push forward on the path of transformation. With a caring heart and the understanding to navigate the best of what’s to come, we are eager to lead the transformation of this hospital into its bright future.” For a hard copy of the 2015 Annual Report To Our Community, contact WCA Hospital Public Relations at (716) 664-8614 or email linda.johnson@ wcahospital.org.

78th Annual Westfield Antique Show July 16 and July 17 Contributed Article Westfield Antique Show
The 78th Annual Westfield Antique Show will be held Saturday, July 16 from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. and Sunday, July 17 from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. The show will be held in the air-conditioned Eason Hall, 23 Elm Street, Westfield, NY. Admission is $5 for both days. The Westfield Antique Show may well be the longest running regional show in the United States. It was started in 1938 by Doc and Edis Shelkey, local Westfield antique dealers who ran a shop in the old Brewer Building (where the Fairpoint Telephone Company is now). Sometime prior to World War II, the Blakely’s purchased the show. They were
antique show promoters from Washington, DC, who summered in Westfield. Then during the late 1940’s and 1950’s, D.S. Clarke from Milwaukee took over the show. Clarke may have been the first promoter to use Eason Hall for the show location. He also owned and published the “Antiques Journal”, and promoted Westfield as one of the important antique centers in the country. Dr. Eller from Pittsburgh bought the show from Clarke and ran the show with the help of Cleo Tidbal, a local antique dealer. She eventually assumed full ownership until 1994, when the Chautauqua County Historical Society purchased the show from her estate. This year the Westfield Antique Show will have 23 quality dealers from five states. There will be a large variety of merchandise including glass, silver, jewelry, and 18th and 19th century furniture.
THE WESTFIELD ANTIQUE SHOW Saturday, July 16 / 10 am – 5 pm / Sunday, July 17 / 11 am – 4 pm EASON HALL / 23 Elm Street, Westfield, NY / $5 admission 716/326-2977 or westfieldantiqueshow.com for more information

The New York State Legislature has wrapped up its 2016 session, with bits of good news here and there, but a generally unfavorable rating from the business community. The good news is there will be significant investments made to address infrastructure needs across the State. Chautauqua County got a big win from Albany this year thanks to a $200-million boost for Athenex, which will build a 300,000 square foot plant in Dunkirk to manufacture cutting edge cancer treatment drugs. Also approved was funding to replace property tax dollars lost by communities that experience a coal-operated power plant closure. We remain hopeful that NRG will be repowered with natural gas, however, it is reassuring that there may be funds available to fill potential lost tax revenues. It is important to note that Senator Young and Assemblyman Goodell worked hard for our region in a bi-partisan manner with their colleagues and Governor Cuomo to achieve these important wins for the region. To help our restaurant and beverage industries, lawmakers approved the “Brunch Bill.” Also known as the “Mimosa Law,” the measure allows for the sale of alcohol before noon on Sundays, ending what Governor Cuomo acknowledged was an arcane law. Changes in the state’s blue laws will also benefit craft beverage makers, allowing them to role multiple license applications into a single process to breweries, wineries, and distilleries and reducing licensing fees for salespeople. In addition, consumers will now be able to leave wineries with open, unfinished bottles, which could help wineries to sell more on their premises. Alcohol retailers will also be allowed to sell additional accessories and gift items. We are also pleased to see the approval of a measure that limits opioid prescriptions to just seven days of the painkiller drugs following a patient’s initial visit. It also requires insurers to cover initial inpatient drug treatment without prior approval and extends the amount of time someone can be held for emergency treatment. With a growing nationwide epidemic of drug overdoses, New York State is taking a lead in working to stem the tide of escalating drug addictions. Lawmakers did not approve the extension of ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft into upstate New York. They failed to enact sweeping ethics reform measures, but did, at the last minute, approve a measure that allows the state to strip pension benefits away from public officials if they are convicted of a felony related to their office. Overall the legislative session was generally a bust for business. A multi-billion dollar increase in the state’s minimum wage and approval of the most expansive CONTINUED ON PAGE 34

History & Heritage
REFLECTIONS OF THE PAST Contributed Article VisitErie
The history amassed in Pennsylvania is far-reaching. From the battlefields of wars to the innovative thinkers and their inventions that shaped us, Erie, Pennsylvania’s fourth largest city, played an important role in our nation’s history. Here you can re-live the Battle of Lake Erie, the French & Indian War and the Underground Railroad. Erie County was formed in the 1800’s after Pennsylvania purchased the Erie Triangle from the U.S. Government in 1792 for approximately $151,000. Taken from part of Allegheny County, the new county was then named for Lake Erie and the Eriez Native American Indian tribe, which was destroyed by a combination of pestilence and the Seneca nation under Chief Cornplanter in the mid-seventeenth century. The first European settlers in the area were the French, who built Fort Presque Isle on the city’s site in 1753. The French abandoned the fort to the English, who lost it in 1763 at the start of Pontiac’s Rebellion. When General “Mad” Anthony Wayne induced the native tribes to make peace in 1794, the area was opened to settlement. The city was laid out in 1795 and became a port in 1801. In 1813, in what is often referred to as Erie’s proudest historical moment, Commodore Oliver Perry defeated the British in the Battle of Lake Erie. Most of Commodore Perry’s ships were built in Erie. Learn about Erie’s rich waterfront heritage at the Erie Maritime Museum through historical artifacts, exhibits and interactive hands-on displays illustrating the War of 1812 and Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry’s victory over the British during the Battle of Lake Erie. The museum is also the home port of the U. S. Brig Niagara, the Official Flagship of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. When in port, the Niagara is an educational resource for many and conducts interpretive tours. Erie’s wealth of history
doesn’t stop there. Downtown Erie includes several historic sites, most importantly, the newly renovated Thomas B. Hagen History Center on historic Millionaire’s Row (West 6th Street). The History Center is home to the Watson-Curtze Mansion, the Carriage House and the King-Mertens Archive Building. The Carriage House, connected to the archives, houses an Erie gift shop and reading room. If time permits, an interesting side trip in Erie County could include a trip to the Battles Estate, comprised of The Yellow House and The White House. These two historic farmhouses belonged to a well-known banking, farming, and manufacturing family (Battles) in Girard, PA.
The two homes sit on over 132 acres of land which is comprised on fields, forests, and streams, the forest is publicly accessible via marked hiking trails. Erie County boasts two mid-1800’s vintage covered bridges: Harrington and Brotherton’s Crossing. Stop in Waterford PA to see the only statue of George Washington in a British uniform. The statue commemorates Major George Washington’s mission to Fort LeBoeuf to request the French to recognize Britain’s claim to the area. France’s refusal led to the French & Indian War. The nearby Fort LeBoeuf Historical Society/Judson House includes a model of the original fort, numerous exhibits on American Indians and the French and British fur trade.
Mary D'Angelo Performing Arts Center Celebrates 20 Years Contributed Article Mercyhurst University
Mercyhurst University and Mercyhurst Institute for Arts & Culture are presenting the Erie community with a captivating 2016-17 season to commemorate a milestone — the 20th anniversary of the Mary D’Angelo Performing Arts Center. Since April 20, 1996, when the $3.6 million performance venue was dedicated to two of Mercyhurst’s
biggest benefactors and advocates of the arts, George and Mary D’Angelo, the miniature “Met” of Erie has hosted more than 100 famous musicians, dancers, puppeteers, choirs and performance artists. Twenty years later, Mercyhurst continues its commitment to bringing world-class artists to the Erie region. The 10-show live series is diverse in performers, in genres, in artistic expression, and in subject matter. “The depth and breadth of programming include the best of Broadway, jazz and children’s theatre, as well
as exceptional performances by classical musicians, dance companies and internationally recognized artists,” said director of programming Dr. Brett D. Johnson. Returning this season are the National Theatre Live broadcasts, which bring the best of British theatre to the Mary D’Angelo Performing Arts Center, and The Met: Live in HD, a series of simulcasts from New York’s acclaimed Metropolitan Opera. The 2016-17 season will be announced July 7, 2016. Visit miac.mercyhurst.edu for more information.

Kabuzz He's 3
By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
One of the most endearing traits of a toddler is their creative vocabulary. Andrew, our three year old, has come up with some of the best (and cutest) words that I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. His most used word is 'kabuzz,' which he uses in place of 'because.' We often go out of our way to ask him questions that will cause him to use this word. We use it when speaking to each other or texting, and with other family members who have a love for Andrew's vocabulary. Well, last week our little linguist turned three. As much as we'd like to keep our kids little, they don't listen and they keep on having birthdays. Another fact about this little guy is that he's very particular. This small person knows what he wants and will ask for it very clearly. His birthday was no exception. Andrew requested a 'Flash' themed birthday party multiple times, everyday up until his birthday. He likes to pretend that he is fast like the Flash, and he runs around in circles while informing everyone within hearing distance, 'I'm the Flash.' We had a small super-speed themed party with our immediate family, and Andrew loved every minute of it. There was a Flash cake and chocolate ice cream with 'baby' M&M's on top, Andrew's all time favorite. My favorite thing about the cake was how easy it was to decorate. I've made many birthday cakes throughout my mommy and aunt years, and have used all kinds of tips and tricks and Pinterest ideas. But I had never used Sugar Sheets. Last year I tried my first fondant cake and discovered that I was either doing it completely wrong or that our whole family thinks fondant is too sweet. Again, could have been entirely my fault, but I'm in no rush to perfect a process for something that we didn't love. I still wanted the smooth quality that fondant has, and through a stroll down the cake decorating aisle, I discovered Sugar sheets. These magnificent things are literally sheets of paper made from sugar, in different colors. The primary pack just happened to have the perfect flash colors, so I decided to give it a shot. This creation can be cut with scissors, which saved me so much time and effort. I first traced the round cake pan I had use, to ensure that I didn't make the flash logo too big for the cake. For this I used a piece of cardstock, and then I made the sugar sheet circle just slightly smaller so that the logo sat in the middle of the cake, not overflowing the sides.
Then it was time to draw and cut out the lightning bolt, which was the challenge of this project. Once these shapes were cut out, I took a little bit of my leftover icing to attach them to the cake which had been frosted earlier that day. And done! So much easier than trying to smooth out fondant or make perfectly even frosting. Now as for the taste of sugar sheets, I really can't vouch for that. They did not taste at all like what I thought they were going to, but due to a slight storage problem, we ended up removing the logo from the cake before eating it. Our slight problem was that I had put plastic wrap laying directly on top of the sugar sheet. This caused a tiny amount of condensation to build up, which made the plastic wrap to stick to the sugar sheet, ripping the sides where I tried to pull the covering away. Next time, a cake storage container would be a far safer bet. But that's how you learn! Oh, and here's the Flash at his third birthday party. I can't even handle those little lightning bolt ears! As always, thanks for reading! Happy cake decorating!

CHAMBER CORNER, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16 paid family leave law in the country leaves businesses hurting, especially small ones. Heather Briccetti, president and CEO of The Business Council of New York State, called it correctly when she said, “After making steady progress over the past five years in improving the state’s business climate, the 2016 session took a hard turn to the left, resulting in dramatic new costs and mandates on private sector employers.” Unshackle Upstate put out a statement saying, “The cost of doing business in Upstate New York is still too high; until that changes we will never be able to compete in the global economy. If we want to create more jobs and attract people to Upstate New York, lawmakers need to aggressively address our high taxes and hostile business climate.” We could not agree more. New York State needs
economic growth, and to make that happen, the state legislature must take action to reduce the tax burden and create a more welcoming business climate. Despite the best efforts of our Senate and Assembly representatives, that work has clearly been put on hold.

At this point, it’s no secret that the Fredonia Hillbillies baseball program is the envy of virtually every other school in the state. All Fredonia does is win. “We have a great feeder program in our Fredonia Little League,” head coach Vince Gullo was quick to point out. “It seems that every 6 to 12 year-old plays Little League baseball. The coaching they get at that level is top notch. “We want to excel and be the best we can every year,” Gullo continued. “We’ve been number one in Western New York for six of seven year. We’ve won nine section titles in 12 years. We’re a competitive team and we’re going to put a good team out there. The pitching and defense is always going to be there. It’s a good feeling to have everybody know who we are.” The New York State Class B baseball scene got another taste of orange and black this past season when the Hillbillies somewhat surprisingly made a run all the way to the state championship game. “It was unexpected on our part,” Gullo admitted. “We knew we had a tough road ahead of us and we didn’t start the playoffs very strong. We came to life against Gowanda at home when Jared Burmaster held them to just two hits. Then we played a lot of tough, close games. “It definitely helps when you can battle back and you can show the game’s never over,” he added of those close games. “We had different guys step up and be the hero in every game.” Perhaps the biggest test during Fredonia’s run was during the Far West Regional title game when the Hillbillies went up against the No. 1 ranked team in New York State

By The Numbers: 40-49 By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

— Livonia. In that game, Reid Tarnowski scampered home on a passed ball in the top of the seventh inning for the game’s lone run. Burmaster allowed just three hits while striking out 10 in a complete game victory. “Livonia has a stud lefty on the mound,” Gullo recalled. “They looked unbeatable. We caught a break there in the seventh.” That upset win sent Fredonia to Binghamton and the Final Four. In the semifinals, Fredonia fought to a 4-2 win over Schalmont with Lucas Voss earning the win on the mound after ending the game by picking off a runner at second base. Ryan Mroczka was the hero at the plate with a game-tying single in the fourth and the go-ahead double in the bottom of the sixth.
The magic eventually ran out for Fredonia in the finals. The Hillbillies built an early 3-0 lead in the first inning, but were unable to hold it against Section IX’s Marlboro, which only lost two games all season. It was nearly a storybook ending with Fredonia pushing three runs across in the seventh inning to bring the score to 8-7, but the tying run was stranded on third base as the Hillbillies’ season came to a close with the third out. “The truth of the matter is that we had guys overheating,” Gullo explained. “Playing two games in a row in that heat was challenging. To have the tying run on third base was heartbreaking. On the flip side, we have so much to be proud of.” Gullo took over the Fredonia baseball

SPORTS COMMENTARY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 35 know already. When I get to the next number on the list, I start doing research on just that one number. I learn an awful lot about various athletes and I hope you readers do, too. Let’s move on. To the picks! No. 40: Gale Sayers, NFL — The Chicago Bears running back is one of the faces of the “what if?” conversations that happen among sports fans. Sayers played just five injury-free seasons, yet was a five-time All-Pro and led the league in rushing twice. He is the youngest to ever be inducted to the Hall of Fame. In the running: Shawn Kemp, NBA — The ultra-competitive big man averaged at least 15 points per game in 10 straight NBA seasons. Henrik Zetterberg, NHL — A ninetime NHL All Star, Detroit has made the playoffs in each of Zetterberg’s 13 seasons. No. 41: Dirk Nowitzki, NBA — Dirk is now easily the best European-born NBA player of all time. He has averaged at least 17 points per game in every season since 1999. He was the league MVP in 2007 and helped Dallas win the NBA title in 2011. He climbed to eighth on the all-time scoring list in 2016. In the running: Tom Seaver, MLB — “Tom Terrific” won 311 games and won three Cy Young awards while striking out at least 200 10 times. No. 42: Jackie Robinson, MLB — Was there every any doubt? Robinson’s No. 42 is retired across the entire MLB. His contributions as the first black player in the league can’t be understated, but his bat and glove were simply outstanding. He won N.L. Rookie of the year in 1947, MVP in 1949 and was a six-time All Star. In the running: Mariano Rivera, MLB — Rivera’s 652 saves are
the most of all time and it’s probably a record that’s going to stand for quite some time. Ronnie Lott, NFL — Lott’s 63 interceptions are the eighth most ever. He was a 10-time Pro Bowler and a six-time First-Team All-Pro. No. 43: Troy Polamalu, NFL — The former Pittsburgh Steelers safety was one of the faces of the league during his highlight-filled career. While he had a pair of seven-interception seasons, Polamalu’s true value can’t be found on the stat sheet. He was a key component to some of the best defensive units of the mid-2000’s. In the running: Dennis Eckersley, MLB — He’s won 20 games as a starter and saved 50 games as a closer. He won the MVP as a closer in 1992. Plus…that mustache. No. 44: Hank Aaron, MLB — Aaron is best known for his 755 home runs (and rightfully so), but check this out: Hammerin’ Hank holds the MLB record with 17 consecutive seasons with at least 150 hits. He was a 25-time All Star. His career WAR of 142.6 is No. 7 all time. His 2,297 RBI are still the most ever. In the running: Pete Maravich, NBA —Pistol Pete averaged 24.2 points per game over his 11-year career. George Gervin, NBA — The Iceman led the NBA in points per game in four of five seasons from 1978-1982. No. 45: Bob Gibson, MLB — Gibson’s name often comes up when discussing the best pitchers of all time. There’s a good reason for that. Gibson’s microscopic 1.12 ERA in 1968 was a major reason why the MLB lowered the pitcher’s mound. He threw 13 shutouts that year and won both the Cy Young and MVP awards. In the running: Pedro Martinez, MLB — One of the most charismatic players of his era, Pedro had perhaps the best four-year
stretch in MLB history and he did it in the height of the steroid era. No. 46: Andy Pettitte, MLB — Huh. Apparently this is the best No. 46 can offer. That’s not to take anything away from Pettitte, who had a very nice career and was a key member of the late 90’s Yankees dynasty. The lefty won 21 games in both 1996 and 2003. He even won 11 games in 2013 at 41 years old. In the running: Lee Smith, MLB — Smith’s 478 career saves rank behind just the aforementioned Rivera and Trevor Hoffman. Todd Christensen, NFL — The former tight end went over 1,000 yards in three of four seasons (and had 987 yards in the fourth) in the mid-80s. No. 47: Mel Blount, NFL — A fourtime Super Bowl winner with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Blount was named to the 1980’s All-Decade Team. His best season was 1975 when he picked off 11 passes. In the running: Tom Glavine, MLB — The long-time Atlanta Braves hurler won at least 20 games in five different seasons and finished his career with 305 wins and two Cy Young awards.
No. 48: Daryl Johnston, NFL — “Moose” is currently one of the better TV analysts, but as a fullback for the Dallas Cowboys, he paved the way for the NFL’s all-time leading rusher, Emmitt Smith. He didn’t carry the ball a ton, but was a useful weapon catching the ball, even hauling in 50 passes in 1993. He has Super Bowl rings from ’92, ’93 and ’95. In the running: Torii Hunter, MLB — Hunter collected 2,452 hits and clubbed 353 home runs, but it was his nine straight Gold Gloves that made him one of the game’s most exciting players. No. 49: Ron Guidry, MLB — Guidry went a ridiculous 25-3 with a 1.74 ERA in 1978 en route to the A.L. Cy Young award and a second-place finish for the MVP. He also won 22 games in 1985, 170 games overall and collected five Gold Gloves over his 14-year season. In the running: None. Some numbers are strong, others are not. No. 49 falls into the latter category. Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star. Comments on this article or any other can be sent to stefang@starmg.co.

FREDONIA HILLBILLIES, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 35 program in 2002 and the Hillbillies have experienced nothing but success during his 15 seasons. With nine Class B1 or B2 titles, seven outright Class B titles, five Far West Regional titles and a pair of NYS Class B championships (2006 and 2013), Gullo has clearly proven his coaching chops. That said, he’s always quick to credit the magnificent coaching staff around him. “I think it’s the best coaching staff in the state,” Gullo shared. “Tim Cowen, Charlie Loduca, Terry Presto, Jake McCune, Phil Schrader and Jimmy Rush (Schrader and Rush were the jayvee coaches, but joined the varsity team for the playoff run) — these guys come to practice every day. They’re such good teachers of the game. It’s so great to have a coachable group of kids. It keeps the coaches busy and we all have our jobs to do. I’m very proud that we’re working for the same goal. “This season was special because our assistant Terry Presto (who coached at Brocton for 20 years) hadn’t been (to the state tournament) yet,” Gullo added. “It’s a

whole new crop of kids that have never been there. It never gets old. In fact, when you get that close you know how important it is to close.” A loss in the state championship game is understandably going to sting for a little while, but it’s not uncharted water for Gullo. “We lost the state title in 2005 and I was never so happy,” he explained. “It was our first time going to states. This time losing in the finals, we really had a chance to win it all. I think the kids are going to bounce back fine. My coaching staff is taking it a little harder with the ‘woulda, shoulda, coulda’ situations. I haven’t stopped thinking about it. I still remember my mistakes from 2005 and 2009. I’ll learn and I won’t repeat my mistakes.” One of the more impressive aspects of this year’s run is that the team consisted of just two senior starters — Jared Burmaster and Michael Pucci. That leaves seven returning starters for next year’s team. “Juniors Vince Gullo and Lucas Voss really had outstanding seasons,” Gullo noted. “Drew Coniglio and Cole Tippens earned jobs halfway through the year. Tyler Winchell, Reid Tarnowski and Ryan Mroczka — these guys play a lot of high-level baseball. They’re young, but they’re experienced.” Even after a season filled with so much success and with so much returning talent, Gullo is always careful not to look too far ahead. “We always have to wait until we get there,” he said about next season. “I haven’t started thinking about that. I know there are schools that are going to be loaded. A lot of schools across the state set their goals to get back to states. Sometimes when you set the goal too high, you look past the opponent on the field that day. Every day is a new competition. We’ll see where we are and if we’re playing next June.” Congratulations go out to each and every member of the Fredonia Hillbillies team and coaching staff. Keep making Chautauqua County proud.

While Interestingly, Nick, Bryan and I all shot our best that sounds pretty good, I missed two very makeable rounds of the season. It was actually tied for my best birdie putts for two of those pars. So even starting terribly (five over after three holes), I still shot a 44, which has been about average the past few weeks. Sugar Hill is the only course I’ve ever broken 40 at, so my hopes are always high coming in. The next round of the week came up at Rose Brook in Silver Creek. Again, my buddy Matt came down from Orchard Park so this course is a great meeting place for us. The round was extremely similar to the Sugar Hill round. It started about as badly as could be. Then I got my feet under me and started hitting some good shots. By Stefan Gestwicki
with six over par. Bryan shot a 49 and Nick had his best round of all time with a 54. He actually finished with a par on the relatively difficult No. 9 to close a really nice round for him. My best hole came on No. 2, on which I recorded a nice birdie on the par 5. I came very close to reaching the green in two shots, which I’ve never done before. It was Nick’s first round with his new clubs, too. We played at Cassadaga Country Club last week and he went home and ordered clubs because he just loves the game. I remember doing the same thing. I’m not even sure I had played on a real golf course when I bought my first set of clubs. My friend took me to the driving range and I fell in love. I can’t imagine anyone who isn’t a golfer is reading this, but if you are, keep that in mind. I spent years saying I was never going to play golf. It’s a game for old retired folk or the “unathletic” kids in high school (NOTE: This is a stereotype. It’s certainly not true). Nick hadn’t picked up a golf club until a few years ago. Even then, he only played once or twice a year with me. Now we’re both obsessed (in a good way). Even when we aren’t on the golf course, we talk about golf, analyze our swings, watch videos with tips, read equipment reviews, etc. It’s great for me to have another golfer in my circle. Expect to see Nick’s name in the article on a weekly basis from this point on. Do you have any tournaments you’d like to see covered in the Chautauqua Star? Let me know so I can put yours on my calendar. As always, golf is great. Go get some. Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

She takes soccer customer service very seriously! In early 2014, Betsy's enthusiasm was given a tremendous boost when she and her son Adam attended the combined NSCAA-USYSA National Convention in Philadelphia. Unfortunately, just a few months later, she received the startling news that she had been diagnosed with cancer. Despite nearly two years of treatments, surgeries, and complications, during which she only took a break from her soccer duties for a few months, she is back at the helm of NCSA. Unable to continue working in her career field, she finds that dedicating her energy to soccer responsibilities is of great personal value to her. Currently, Betsy is undergoing chemotherapy that requires costly co-pays, so the volunteer staff of NCSA came up with a plan to host a benefit on her behalf. On Saturday, July 9, NCSA will hold a SOCCER FEST on the grounds of the Fredonia Central School. The festival will feature youth soccer activities conducted by professional training staff of NYSWYSA, an NCSA alumni soccer game, a Chiavetta's chicken barbecue, a basket raffle with many valuable contributions from the community, a DJ, family activities such as bounce houses and face painting, a Rotary Club hot dog stand, summer treats such as ice cream
provided by Fieldbrook Farms and watermelon wedges, and items for sale such as t-shirts and gear. Teams will have their photos taken as part of the day's activities, which will begin at 9 a.m., and conclude with the alumni game at 6 p.m. All members of the public are welcome to attend, and youth do not have to be registered with NCSA to participate; however, shin guards are required for safety. See www.myncsa. com for more details.

Midway Park Opens New Miniature Golf Course By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
A brand new miniature golf course is slated to open at Midway State Park on July 1. The new course, called “Putt-A-Round Chautauqua,” is themed around Chautauqua County and its many attractions. There’s a hole that has a miniature Bell Tower akin to the Miller Bell Tower at Chautauqua Institution. There’s a hole sponsored by the Lucy Desi Center. There’s even a hole that uses the rocket ship from the old course. “It’s supposed to embody Chautauqua County,” Midway’s Marla Connelly shared. “There’s so much local talent on display. There are hand-carved benches and there’s more coming in.” The new course was made possible by The Friends of Midway and most notably Mr. Peter Sullivan. “He was the primary fundraising driver behind the project,” Connelly explained. “This project was a public-private partnership with the Friends of Midway being the private part of that.” The new course replaces one that was something of a landmark in the area, but also one that had certainly seen better days. “They felt the need to replace the golf course as it was in poor condition,” Connelly added. “It was at the point where the concrete had deteriorated so badly that it couldn’t be repaired.” The new course is in a slightly different space than the previous setup, but it’s very close by. The park has a long-term master plan with the new miniature golf

course being just one of the steps in the process. July 1 is a soft opening for the course. The park is open Wednesday-Sunday from noon-7 p.m. The golf course has extended hours from 7-10 p.m. after that. The course does accessed at other times by special request for birthday parties, etc. That goes for other attractions such as the go karts, as well. This new miniature golf course is an exciting improvement for a park that has brought joy to generations of Western New Yorkers. “We wouldn’t have been able to do this without the private share of the funds,” Connelly said. “It certainly wouldn’t have happened without the Friends of Midway and Mr. Sullivan.” About Midway State Park “Located on the shores of beautiful Chautauqua Lake, Midway State Park is a family treasure. Originally established in 1898 as a trolley park, Midway State Park is one of the oldest continually operating amusement parks in the nation. The first owners of the park constructed playing fields, tennis courts, bath houses and a dance hall to entice customers to ride the trolley on weekends. In 1915, a new building was constructed with a kitchen, a large dining room and space for dancing and roller skating. Today, this building is home to a museum, gift shop, concession stands and other facilities. Midway State Park continues to offer the same family friendly atmosphere that visitors have come to love. Patrons can take a nostalgic ride on the vintage carousel, play a game of mini golf, take a spin on the tilt-a whirl, ride the go-karts and bumper boats or watch their children enjoy themselves on the many kiddie rides. And, while some may prefer to relax while enjoying an old fashioned candy apple or cotton candy, others can test their skills at classic midway games. Several picnic shelters are available for family reunions and company picnics. Accessible by the waters of Chautauqua Lake, Midway also is a great place for fishing and free docking is offered for day visitors.” – From nysparks.com.
