To celebrate the groundbreaking of the National Comedy Center, Regis Philbin will moderate a panel of producers, writers and crew from David Letterman’s Late Show and Late Night. “David Letterman – Behind The Scenes Of Late Night’s Longest Running Broadcaster” will take place on Thursday, July 30 at the Willow Bay Theater in Jamestown, NY as part of the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival. This will be the first time since David Letterman’s retirement that the group will discuss how they helped craft Letterman’s shows for the last 33 years. “This event embodies the spirit of the National Comedy Center, and we’re thrilled to host Regis Philbin and these major influencers of comedy,” said Executive Director, Journey Gunderson. With one hundred and fifty appearances on Late Night/Late Show, Regis Philbin holds the record as the most frequent Letterman guest. Philbin took part in countless comedy bits on the show and his banter with Letterman was legendary. Over the last five decades, Regis has hosted numerous shows, including: Live with Regis and Kathie Lee, Live with Regis and Kelly, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and The Regis Philbin Show. The panelists for the evening are: Barbara Gaines (Executive Producer/Associate Producer Late Show/Late Night), Jerry Foley (Director/Supervising Producer/Technical Director Late Show/ Late Night), Steve O’Donnell (Head Writer/ Writer Late Night/Late Show), Steve Young (Head Monologue Writer/Writer Late Show/ Late Night), and Biff Henderson (Stage Manager Late Show/Late Night). Gaines and Foley were each nominated in the 2015 Emmy Awards announcement last week. Tickets are on sale at www.lucycomedyfest.com or 716.484.0800. The National Comedy Center is a new $40 million attraction that will celebrate comedy: the craft and its greatest contributors.

The weekend also includes Jerry Seinfeld, Melissa Rivers, Nick Offerman, Kelly Carlin, the family of Harold Ramis, the critically-acclaimed kids comedy troupe Story Pirates, showcases including Joe Machi, Andy Hendrickson, Michelle Wolf, Michael Palascak, Jon Rineman, Paul Morrissey, and more than 40 events in four days.

band aids, apple juice, etc. You never want to be that unfortunate soul (yes, like that terrifying song from The Little Mermaid) in the Amazon mom commercial who reaches for a diaper, mid-diaper change, only to realize that you are completely out. 3. Pick your battles. Don't sweat the small stuff. The clichĂŠ list can go on and on. There are so many tiny little details that can trip you up or make you lose your cool while parenting, but don't let it get to you. There will be so many times where you have the opportunity to be concerned, upset, worried, etc; and you will be the only one who knows what's going on. Learn to recognize what is a big deal and what isn't. Like that favored onesie that just got ruined in a diaper explosion. There will be other cute clothes. 4. Learn to 'go with your gut.' That thing called a 'mother's intuition' is real, and every mother was equipped with it the moment that they took that role of motherhood at conception. You, most of the time, know what is best for your child, so don't spend too much time thinking about it or worrying about whether or not you made the right decision. 5. Enjoy. So many parents
get so stuck in the daily routine of it all that they forget to laugh and smile with their kids. Check yourself every once in awhile. Especially if you're naturally an orderly and tidy person. There will be times you need to forsake your laundry and take the kids to the playground or the beach, or just pull out a coloring book. One of the best bits of advice that I have ever read was to remember that today isn't just your day, it's theirs
too. And this can apply to everyone you encounter, coworkers, cashiers, the list is endless. Don't ever be the one to ruin or put a damper on someone else's day. Try to leave every encounter with another person having bettered their day. Especially if you are currently the most important person in their life, such as with your children. Parenting was meant to be enjoyed, so enjoy it. As always, thanks for reading, and here's to happy parenting!

LIVE ABOVE THIS WORLD
Rev. Timothy Stahlman Family Church Jamestown
fcjamestown.org
The only way to live in this world is to live above it. Ephesians 2:6 says that God has "raised us up together and made us sit together in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ Jesus." Look at
the words God has used to describe the people of God! We are "raised", we are "up", we are "together", "in heavenly places", and "in Christ". You cannot get more above this world than that! And this isn't something that will happen in the future when you go to heaven; this verse is past tense. It's already done! God says we are "raised up and sitting in heavenly places in Christ Jesus" right now. That is how God views our situation. In the mind of God, we have been raised not lowered, up not down, together not alone, in heavenly places not in earthly crisis, and we are in Christ our Shield and Reward! Yet the world is going lower not higher and down instead of up. Imagine if you could see what God can see. Imagine if you saw your life through God goggles. What would
happen if you lived every day as one who is seated on the throne with Christ? You would start to live like God lives. You would believe that you are "more than a conqueror through Him that loved us." (Rom 8:37) You would quote 1 John 5:4 as if it was the testimony of your everyday life: "Whosoever is born of God overcomes the world and this is the victory that overcomes the world EVEN OUR FAITH." You would boldly believe what Jesus said to you in John 16:33. He said, "Be of good cheer, take courage, be confident, certain, and undaunted! I have overcome the world and I HAVE DEPRIVED IT OF POWER TO HARM YOU and have conquered it for you." (Amplified Version) People without Christ are powerless against the fret, cares, and attacks of this
world. But the world is powerless against the one seated with Christ! The world can no more understand you than it did Jesus Himself when He was here. You are a reproduction of Christ and the world is confused why you won't give up and why you won't give in. This is how Jesus transcended all generations. He lived His life from how God viewed Him. Now you can do the same thing because His nature lives in you because of your faith. You now have been born into God's family. You are His genetic offspring. They will say of you what they said of Jesus: "The light shined in darkness, but the darkness comprehended it not." Jesus confused the darkness that came against Him; so will you if you live through the belief that you are seated
with Christ. Don't misunderstand me: Trials come. The world may steal my lunch for a day but God will give me a feast tomorrow. Discouragement may come against you today but joy will come in the morning. I may sincerely slip but He is faithful to cleanse me from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9) A bad economy might prevail around me but He leads me into green pastures. Evil may rise up but He prepares a table for me in the presence of my enemies. Money comes and goes but God has made me rich. (Prov 10:22) My body will die in old age but my spirit is renewed with vigor every day! (2 Cor 4:16) We are like our Risen Lord: No matter how hard you hit us, we always rise again.

Mayville Dedicates Third Habitat for Humanity Home Contributed Article Ann Weidman, Habitat Volunteer
A third house became a Home in Mayville this month, thanks to hundreds and hundreds of hours spent by many volunteers, including the new home owners, Tom and Rose Marie Bottomley. Although becoming a homeowner through Habitat requires the owners to contribute 500 hours in the construction – called “sweat equity,” Tom and Rose put in 632 hours. In addition, they have said they are ready to help build the next home for some deserving family. A short dedication of the home was conducted by Mike Ricketts, volunteer coordinator, who introduced Ted First, a 30-year Habitat volunteer with his wife, Deborah – 15 of them after moving to Chautauqua. “We’re here because Habitat has built a house every 10 minutes throughout the world,” he said, thereby introducing its history. Since Habitat is a Christian-based organization, Kathy Ricketts presented the Bottomley’s with a family bible. In addition, she presented meaningful house warming gifts of “flour so they will never be hungry, salt so they will always have spice in their lives and sugar so they always will have sweetness in their lives.” Habitat volunteer Karen McCann, who not only helps with construction but is a member of the Selection Committee, introduced the Bottomly family and their girls, Caitlin, 14; Haley, 12; Emma, 7; and Lillian, 3. She gave Lillian a Teddy Bear as a token of the new “Home Sweet Home gift to the youngest in a family.” Lee Ann Sunderlin, a member of the Chautauqua Regional Quilt Guild,

The Bottomly family members were all smiles as they awaited dedication of their new home in Mayville. Standing from left are Caitlin, 14; Tom and Rose, Haley, 12; in front from left, Emma, 7; Lillian, 3. Built by many volunteers, this is the third home dedicated by Mayville’s Habitat for Humanity.
presented each of the six Bottomlys with a quilt to match their bedrooms. Tom Bottomly topped off the afternoon with, “Thanks to everyone who made this possible.” Rose followed suit with, “I also thank you, and I recommend anybody to do this. Thank you, everybody.” Rev. Dana Vaughn, Westfield Presbyterian Church pastor, closed the dedication with a prayer and blessing of the home. Those present then toured the house and indulged in refreshments. It should be noted that the Bottomly home took two years (normally 18 months is sufficient) to build because of the 2014 extremely cold winter which prohibited even entering what had been started in 2013, according to Ricketts. He also recognized contributing companies in appreciation for special donations with “a heartfelt thank-you to donors from the business community.” They were Ed Cannon Electric, Dave Jett with Quality Mechanical, Tim’s Maintenance, Valu Home Centers, Paul Potter Engineering and Brown Surveying, PC. A special notation for the Bottomley Family Home as printed in the program reads: “The dedication of a Habitat home marks the end of hours and hours of giving on the part of our volunteers to help a deserving family realize the dream of owning their own home. It is a time to celebrate and a time to say thank you for all the love and the talents that have gone into this house.” The Chautauqua Area Habitat for Humanity currently has built homes in Northern Chautauqua county/Silver Creek-Dunkirk, Central Chautauqua County/Mayville and Southern Chautauqua County Jamestown. Anyone interested in volunteering or serving on one of the operational committees, contact Mike Ricketts at 753-7831.

Chautauqua Lake Association Introduces New President Contributed Article CLA
The Chautauqua Lake Association Board of Directors has announced the appointment of R. Craig Butler of Bemus Point as the CLA's new board president. The all-volunteer board helps govern the organization known as the steward of Chautauqua Lake. “I am honored by the confidence that the board has placed in me to take on this critical task. Maintaining Chautauqua Lake is of the utmost importance to this region and I pledge to work diligently for the benefit of the lake and its environment," said Butler, who has served as the CLA's first vice president. A native of the area, Mr. Butler grew up in Lakewood and began his passion for Chautauqua Lake at an early age. After earning a B.A. degree in Economics from Baldwin Wallace College and a M.B.A. degree from Michigan State University, he lived most of his adult life in Buffalo where he pursued a career in commercial mortgage banking. During that time he
spent summers here on the lake at his cottage in Greenhurst. Upon retirement he became a full time lakeside resident. He has actively served as a volunteer at the Chautauqua Lake Association, The Lawson Center Boating Museum and with the First Presbyterian Church in Jamestown. The mid-year election is part of a staff reorganization that has resulted subsequent to the retirement of long time General Manager Paul Swanson. Other actions taken by the board included the appointment of past president Douglas Conroe as the association's Executive Director and former third vice president Don Emhardt as Operations Director. For more information about the Chautauqua Lake Association, visit the CLA on the web at www.chautauqualakeassociation.org or call 716-7638602. You can also stay updated by visiting the CLA on Facebook page. The CLA's mission is to provide effective and efficient lake maintenance services for the benefit of all Chautauqua Lake users. As the "Stewards of the Lake," the CLA serves to promote and facilitate the ongoing scientific monitoring of Chautauqua Lake and its ecosystem.

Library To Feature Work Of Local Photographer Contributed Article Prendergast Library
The Prendergast Library Art Gallery will present “Living Life … One Photo at a Time,” an exhibit of photographs by Donald F. Armstrong, from Aug. 7 through Sept. 4. There will be an opening reception from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 7. Armstrong said he likes Ansel Adams’ statement, “You don't take a good photo, you make it,” and Dorothea Lange’s belief, “The camera is an instrument that teaches people to see without a camera.” His favorite is a quote by Eudora Welty, “A good snapshot keeps a moment from running away.” Of his exhibit at the library, he said, “My hope is that I can supply you with a few of those moments with my photographs. Thank you for the privilege and honor to share them with you.” A lifelong resident of Western New York, Armstrong grew up and attended school in Randolph, and has lived in Falconer for 48 years. He has shown his work in the Falconer Public Library, Patterson Library in Westfield, and the Lakewood Memorial Library. His interest in photography began about 12 years ago, when his first grandchild was born. “Like many proud grandparents, I couldn’t seem to get enough photos of my grandchild, so it seems like I always had a camera with me. With a camera at my side, I soon found myself stopping to take a snapshot of a landscape or stream. One thing led to another, and here I am with thousands of pictures of birds, flowers, animals, landscapes, and, of course, my grandchildren, which now number four,” he said. Armstrong has read many articles on photography and attended a variety
of work sessions and seminars in an attempt to improve his skills. He has also taken field trips with other members of the Jamestown Audubon Camera Club and the Chautauqua County Camera Club. One of his photographs of Tundra Swans in flight is published in a Roger Tory Peterson Field Guide. Hours to view his library exhibit will be 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Starting Sept. 11, the gallery will display a collection provided by J. Marlin Casker. Prendergast Library is located at 509 Cherry St., Jamestown. For information, call 484-7135.
Audubon Nature Center Days at Panama Rocks Contributed Article Audubon Center and Sanctuary
On August 1 and 2, two of the region’s premier nature showcases are collaborating to present days of delightful outdoor fun and learning. That Saturday and Sunday, volunteers and staff of the Audubon Nature Center will offer special opportunities at Panama Rocks, the beautiful natural playground in Panama, New York. Visitors will be able to explore the scenic halfmile long ridge of 60-foot high rocks that form crevices, passageways, and caves hidden in an ancient forest. Retired Jamestown Community College biology professors Tom Erlandson and Dan Anderson will be on hand to lead natural history walks focused on their respective specialties, rocks and trees.
Visitors can also explore displays and artifacts from the Nature Center, possibly meet one or more of the Nature Center’s live animal ambassadors, and make a nature craft. From 2-4 p.m. on Saturday Steel Rails, the duo of Dave Moller and Gary Cuckler, will present live music featuring songs that cover the southern, country and rock genres. Also on Saturday, for an additional fee, you can take an Amish hay ride. On Sunday, there will be live music by Bill Moran. Co-director of the Greystone Nature Preserve in Brocton, New York, Moran is a member of the Harbour Knights band. If you become a Nature Center member or renew your membership on one of those days, you will get 14 months for the price of 12. You can also enter a drawing for a free membership and other prizes.
Panama Rocks hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m., with the last admission at 4 p.m. Come for a couple of hours or bring a blanket or lawn chairs, a picnic lunch, lawn games, and plan to spend the day! General admission is $7.50; Child (6-12), $5; Ages 5 & Under, free; Senior (65+), Veteran, Military, and Student (25 & under with valid ID), $6. A portion of your admission will be donated by Panama Rocks to the Nature Center. Additional donations to the Nature Center will be gratefully accepted.

Strength To Love Yourself
This always gets me thinking… Is lack of love between others caused by a hidden need of love for self? If unable to love ourselves, how do we expect to love another human being? When love for self is not internally present, By Brad Jarrett love for others will not be Contributing Writer externally present. Here is an important note; notice I said “Love We’ve all heard the funFOR self” not “Love damental Truth “Love OF self”. One brings your neighbor as yourself”; yet we witness acts betterment to the world of selfishness, and hate on around, the other breeds arrogance. It’s important a near daily basis. Even to know the difference. participating in them from time to time. All Now realize, with all too often, everyday life things in life the internal is filled with thoughts of must be changed before judgment and criticism; you see actualization in forms of hate, not love. the external. Therefore,
an internal love for self must be possessed before we’re able to give love to others. I’ve heard it said “You must win the private victory, before the public victory”. What is private victory? Being victorious over self. Crushing negative thoughts, and the bad self image we regularly encounter. To me, the private victory is the ultimate feat of strength. We are forced to analyze ourselves to see faults and shortcomings. It’s not easy to admit imperfections, but they must be uncovered in order be accepted, and changed. Once acceptance comes; fear leaves, and love for self begins to flow. No longer will fear keep us
from admitting faults, because when revealed, we’re able to undertake the illuminating journey of personal growth, which leads to the ultimate ends of love. Courage, fearlessness and humility, are needed, but once this conquest is complete, love for others is born. Now is the time to uncover faults. Often, bodily image is one of the first imperfections thought of. But consider this… Fitness models and bodybuilders are the most aesthetically pleasing individuals on the face of the earth, yet many of them are NOT satisfied with the look of their body. If they’re unhappy with
their bodies, would you expect your response to be different if you were to attain a body like theirs? Don’t fool yourself, the answer is no. Simply because bodily image is not the author of internal love for self. For this reason, we can see a 6 pack won’t bring happiness; only a momentary thrill. True love for self must sprout from the inside, and be present in every moment, because you’re truly happy to be YOU. This doesn’t mean we don’t set goals, or push ourselves to remain healthy and improve the look of our bodies; it’s simply offering a pathway to be happy NOW. Because if you’re putting your happiness into
a goal down the road, you’re letting life pass you by as you strive to reach it. Trust me, I’m stepping on my own toes with this message, but we need to hear it. YOU are loved. YOU are special. YOU are one of a kind. I challenge you to see something different in yourself today. Look past the surface level features; Dig deep… See the amazing miracle of life you are; created to change the world, and endowed with the secret weapon necessary to do it. Love. Fitness Can Be Greater.

Chronic pain, heart disease, diabetes and depression can all be improved with regular physical activity - you can also improve strength and balance as part of your exercise routine, which in turn prevents falls. Engaging in four types of exercise is key as part of the aging process: aerobic or endurance; strength; balance; and, flexibility. Aerobic fitness improves cardiovascular health which keeps heart disease and diabetes in check, it also helps improve mood and decreases symptoms of depression. Brisk walking, yard work and dancing are great examples. Strengthening exercises like lifting weights, using exercise bands, pushups and pull-ups help manage chronic pain as does flexibility exercise like yoga and simple stretching. Balance exercises include Tai Chi or practice
walking a straight line, for example. Eating a variety of vegetables and fruits, eating lean meats and cutting back on sweets all help your overall health. Eating may not be as enjoyable if your taste buds have dulled or you have oral health issues. See your dentist for help - also, you may find that eating a diet rich in veggies, fruits, lean meats, fish, low-fat dairy foods and less sugary foods will help maintain dental health as well as control diabetes and heart disease and simply, just make you feel better. After age 65, 1 in 3 Americans have trouble hearing. There are different tools and devices to help in hearing loss. If you have symptoms of hearing loss, ask your doctor for a hearing test and options for help.

HEALTH 19 A Q&A with Albert Akkerman, M.D. Chautauqua Star (CS): Welcome to Brooks Memorial Hospital and the Northern Chautauqua County community, Dr. Akkerman. We’ve been anxiously awaiting your arrival. Dr. Albert Akkerman (AA): Thank you. I’m happy to be here. CS: What made you interested in joining Brooks and re-locating to our quaint Dunkirk/Fredonia community? AA: I have lived and worked in New Jersey for the past 20 years. I earned my medical degree at SUNY Downstate College of Medicine in Brooklyn and have enjoyed the multi-cultural aspects of the New York City area. I understand that this area is growing into a multi-cultural niche, and the people are very friendly. I am no stranger to the cold weather either. I was born in Siberia and was raised in Russia. CS: I’m happy to hear that you won’t be at all surprised by our cold weather then. So you are a Pain Management Doctor. Tell us what that means. AA: I am a Board Certified Anesthesiologist, with extensive experience in Interventional Pain Management. To be more specific, Interventional Pain Medicine is a relatively new but growing field that utilizes a variety of procedures such as injections, nerve blocks, and physical therapy to treat chronic pain. There are many types of specialized procedures for the treatment of pain, and a wide range of treatment options. My focus is on health and wellness and to thoroughly diagnose the source of each patient’s pain, while avoiding some of the common pitfalls and social aspects that can be associated with pain management. CS: We hear that you will lead the new Pain Management Clinic at the hospital. Will you tell us more about that? AA: The new Pain Management Clinic will be located on the main floor of the hospital near the Outpatient Registration area. The opening of the Clinic at Brooks is consistent with the Chautauqua County’s Health Improvement Plan (2014-2017) goal to decrease substance abuse in the region. Patients will need to have a referral from a primary care physician so that treatment takes a multi-disciplined and fully monitored approach. I am available to answer any questions from individual community members via myhealth@brookshospital.org. And, lastly, I look forward to living and working with all of you in this community. CS: Once again, Dr. Akkerman, welcome aboard. We are delighted that you have arrived and we hope you will enjoy our continually growing melting pot here in our region and at Brooks.

Cassadaga
Western New York has so many great places to see and things to do. Each city, village and town has a story, and we’ve set out to tell that story. We’ll go through the county, place by place, for the next few months. Check back every week for the next edition of “This Great County."
Star Special Feature
The retreating Glacier left pristine wonders when it shaped most of Chautauqua County and the three Cassadaga Lakes are a perfect example. "Cassadaga" is a Seneca name meaning "water under the rocks", descriptive not only of the natural springs of the area f lowing from glacial moraines, but that in dry weather many of the local streams would 'disappear'. The Village of Cassadaga was settled in 1848 in the north east corner of the Town of Stockton, at the headwaters of the technically navigable Cassadaga Creek, though the upper few miles are not today due to numerous shallows and beaver activity along its course. The village was formally incorporated in 1921. Keel Boat Navigation The Cassadaga Navigation Company was incorporated in 1827, with a capital of $20,000 to improve the navigation of the Cassadaga to its junction with the Conewango, and the navigation of the Conewango to the State line. Walter Smith conceived the idea of opening the Cassadaga and Conewango to keelboats and widened the waterway. A boat twenty-five feet long was constructed, which brought a load of salt up the Conewango and Cassadaga to Cassadaga Lake, then returned with a light cargo and again ascended the streams part way, unfortunately the water in the Cassadaga lowered after the channel was cleared, and navigation was found impractical and the industry f loundered. The area steadily grew and so did the industry. Early settlers utilized the abundant and

large trees (some exceeding 5 feet in diameter) as a primary source of income, often sent via log rafts and f latboat on the creek as timber, charcoal and pearl ash: the later two products in demand in the early industrial age. Saw mills, furniture factories, cider mills, cement factories, and the ice business were all found in the community. The Cassadaga School was built in 1888, and eventually the Cassadaga Valley Central School district was formed in 1939 with 31 rural schools merging.

14 to 26 years of age were tragically drowned, along with the Pilot of the boat. The Pilot of the other craft involved was spared along with 17 other children by those who could swim and citizens rushing to their aid. The anguish of this event and these young lives lost had a devastating effect on the community as they mourned. There is a touching poem by W. W. Fisher commemorating the calamity recorded in the History of Chautauqua County that I recommend to you. The Railroad Arrives The Dunkirk Allegheny and Pittsburg Railroad, which laid track from Dunkirk and eventually to Warren, Pennsylvania passed on the west side of the Cassadaga Lakes in the spring of 1871. The tracks ran through the then adjoining hamlet of Burnhams which was later annexed by the village. The Railroad contributed greatly to the economy of the area, both as a source of population growth and visitors to the lakes for recreation, and became transportation of the forest and farm products of the area to more urban centers, as well as for ice harvested CONTINUED ON PG 24

The Webster Citizens Company Ice House was approximately 300 feet in length and stood on the west shore of the Upper Lake with a three car rail siding to serve it, and was listed as a railroad business as late as 1931 providing refrigeration before electrification. The rail line was abandoned after extensive f lood damage near Sinclairville from hurricane Agnes in 1972, and subsequently removed. Cassadaga Job Corp The Newton Memorial Hospital at Cassadaga, which for four decades fulfilled its role in the care and treatment of tubercular patients, was closed in 1958, when the patient load significantly decreased after miracle drugs were developed to treat the disease. Erected in 1919 and located on about 200 acres on a hilly slope overlooking Cassadaga Lake, the hospital, with its eleven buildings and children’s camp, cared for hundreds of patients at a time when tuberculosis was a scourge and a threat to the health of many. Including its original buildings, additions, renovations, furnishings, equipment and clinics, the hospital was considered a million dollar project when it was closed December 31, 1958. It is now a federally funded Job Corps Center to train young people in vocational skills, and a vital part of the community. Cassadaga Telephone System “In 1957, the Cassadaga telephone system was converted from an operator operation to a dial tone system, and thus the telephone operators retired. The original operator system was located on High Street in the first house on the right just past the corner drug store. Vera Petsch was the night operator and lived in the house.

erators were during the day, and the night operator worked from 9 PM until 8 AM the next morning. The front porch of the house had a pay telephone, and the porch was always open, but the door to the house was always locked after 9 PM. The night operator always seemed to receive the frantic calls from parents whose babies decided to enter the world at all hours of the night, snowplowing jobs which had to be done when the light of day arrived, and calls from farmers whose cows were ready to be artificially inseminated.” Cassadaga Today “Cassadaga has been a very patriotic community with the American Legion forming in 1940, and a Memorial Day parade with a cemetery ceremony being held each year. For those who grew up in the village, all remember the famous Ames’ Luncheon Counter and remember the last day of school when Clarence and Katherine Ames would give each boy and girl a free ice cream. Many industries have come and gone from the area, but the uniqueness of the small village will always exist.” The lakes contains a variety of fish including Bass, Carp, Crappie, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Perch, Trout and Walleye, making it a favorite destination for anglers. Hunting, both small and large game, is a popular activity for visitors and area residents. The Cassadaga Volunteer Fire Department holds an annual gun raff le every April, which has, on average, raff led about 250 firearms each year for the past 14 years. There is a free public boat launch maintained by the DEC on the north end of the middle lake with parking for vehicles and trailers, though the lakes are small enough to be paddled or rowed, and motor boat speed through much of the middle lake is limited to 5 mph. There is a public beach on the south east side of the lower lake off Park Street in the village that is generally open from mid June (when the water warms sufficiently) until Labor day, that has a life guard on duty and is free to village residents, but a small fee is charged to visitors. There is a basketball court adjoining the beach that is open approximately dawn to dusk when weather allows. Cassadaga is along the route of two snowmobile trails that connect
with over 100 miles (160 km) of marked and groomed trails in the county for winter riding. One of the earliest golf courses that is playable in Chautauqua County in the spring is the Cassadaga Country Club, thanks to it’s unique gravel base. Overlooking the Lakes it is a challenging hillside course that has a great restaurant and is open to the public.

KICKBALL TOURNAMENT RAISES MONEY FOR PRADER-WILLI SYNDROME By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
The scene at Silver Creek Central School on a beautiful Sunday afternoon was truly one to behold. Well over 100 people of all ages gathered to take part in the first One Small Kick Kickball Tournament to raise money for the fight against PraderWilli Syndrome. “It’s a cause near and dear to our hearts,” tournament organizer Lisa Matesevac said. “My son has PraderWilli Syndrome. It’s a really rare syndrome. It affects one in 15,000 people. Very few people know about it or have experienced being around someone with it. “This has been an amazing year for research,” she continued. “There are five clinical trials going on that we’re very hopeful about. One of those my son was able to participate in at the University of Florida. He was one of 12 people at that university doing a clinical drug trial. It was outstanding. The results were beyond our expectations.” The tournament featured 11 teams with over 130 players. Those players ranged from children of about six or seven all the way up to their parents and grandparents. Everyone had a smile on their face as they played in this unique tournament. “Kickball was my husband’s idea,” Matesevac noted. “He’s been wanting to do something that’s different and fun.

COMMENTARY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 26 Chautauqua Star that write about nothing but health and exercise. There’s no question that the following commentary is far more about health than sports, per se, but it’s a topic that I wanted to share. Seeing as how I have this fantastic forum to reach people, I’d be a fool to not use it. I’ll get back to writing about baseball, the Sabres or the Bills next week. For now, please enjoy hearing about my one-month water challenge. It was near the end of June when I read a fantastic article on the benefits of drinking water. I’ve read many times about professional athletes that drink nothing but water. Admittedly, I never really drank water before that. I just didn’t like it. I stay hydrated by drinking plenty of tea, juice and Gatorade/ Powerade. The problem with those drinks is sugar. Now I’m no nutritionist, but I’m pretty sure that sugar is bad for you. Sugar substitutes? They’re arguably worse for you, but that’s a topic for another day. My Gatorade habit was getting a little bit out of control. I was polishing off at least one of those bad boys each day. On days that I golfed or did yard work, I’d drink two. Our recycling bin at home is simply overflowing with empty Gatorade bottles. I had already cut way back on coffee, but that is definitely another vice of mine. I was easily drinking two cups a day about six months ago. I was able to cut back to about 4-5 cups per week, but seeing as how I always put a sugar packet in my java, that’s still a lot of unnecessary sugar. So after reading this article and analyzing just how much sugar I was putting into my body on a daily basis, I decided to undertake a onemonth water challenge. Starting on July 1 and going to July 31 (only a few more days!), I was going to drink nothing but water. I wasn’t trying to lose weight or anything like that. I just wanted to be healthier. It might not sound like a hard thing to do, but for someone who never drank just plain water anyway, this has been brutally difficult. I love my coffee and tea. I’m not sure I could have done this in a colder month. At least the warm weather slightly quelled my need for a warm beverage. The first thing that I heard from people was that I’d get horrible caffeine headaches. Do you know how many headaches I’ve had this month? Zero. Not a one. That leads me to my
two more. Now I always have a cold one in the fridge. When I empty one, I fill it up and switch it out with an ice cold one. It’s been great. And I don’t even have to spend money on bottled water from the grocery store. Another thing that has helped me stay on track is that my wife is also joining me in the water club. She’s keeping milk in her diet, but I can’t fault her there. She’s not a big coffee drinker, but pop is her vice. She’s been able to avoid temptation (allegedly) even when she went out of town for the weekend with her friends. Mind over body. It’s not easy. The benefits I wrote about earlier have been entirely subjective. It could be entirely a coincidence that I haven’t had a headache. But there are plenty of scientific facts that back up my claim that drinking water is great for your body. As per webmd.com, drinking water helps maintain the balance of body fluids, which aids in digestion, absorption, circulation, transportaMost people could use to drink more water.

Golfer's
CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, JULY 24, 2015
D i a ry
A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS LEADS TO NO GOLF By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
*Editor’s Note: The Golfer’s Diary was started three years ago as I took up the sport of golf. As I progress from beginner status, I’ll highlight different courses in the area, pass along tips that I’ve picked up along the way, discuss equipment, etiquette and more. I didn’t actually play golf this week. It pains me to say that, but it’s true. First off, the weather was brutal. One of my favorite courses, Pinehurst in Westfield, got positively hammered by the flooding. Some of the pictures those guys posted on Facebook were unreal. They even lost a $30k piece of machinery that was underwater for five hours. They’re back up and running now. If you looking for a great place to play, go support those guys. I’m sure they would appreciate it. More courses were hammered, too, I’m sure. Both Hillview and Vineyards in Fredonia probably got some severe water damage. Sugar Hill in Westfield probably had its pond taking up half of the fairways after all of that water. We’ve had a number of very nice days since, so I’m sure they all are back in golfi ng shape, but that sure did keep me (and everyone else, I’m sure) off the course for a number of days. That was just Step 1 of why I haven’t played any golf. Step 2 is injuries. My lovely wife and I decided we needed to get back in shape. If I’m being totally honest, I still
look okay, but my breathing and endurance are nil. Since evenings are so perfect this time of year, we started taking jogs together every night. Sounds like a great idea, right? It is, except that my lower body is riddled with injuries from my running career. Serious injuries to my left knee and right Achilles tendon in high school still fl are up from time to time, but the one that really made me stay off the golf course was my foot. The top of my right foot feels like it’s broken. There’s no swelling or anything and if I wrap it up nice and tightly, I can get through a run, but when I get out of bed in the morning, I can barely walk. Does anyone have any expertise in this? I haven’t used webmd.com or anything like that, but I’m getting to the point where I might actually have to see a doctor (an unheard of occurrence for me). It’s the top of my foot, a little bit to the right and close to my ankle. It’s defi nitely not my ankle, but it would make transferring my weight on a golf swing either impossible or incredibly painful. Anyway, if anyone else has experienced anything like this, please let me know. Luckily, anyone that also wasn’t able to golf was treated to one of the best PGA majors of all time with the Open Championship last weekend. Personally, I don’t really have a “favorite” golfer. I was absolutely rooting for Jordan Spieth. I’m sure many were, but as a journalist, I’m always rooting for history to be made. Can you imagine the spectacle that would have been the
PGA Championship had Spieth pulled off the fi rst three legs of the Grand Slam? Holy smokes. Truly that was one of the most exciting majors I’ve ever seen. Just the fact that it was at St. Andrews was enough to make it a mustwatch tournament. That an amateur was atop the leaderboard on Day 3 was fantastic. Dustin Johnson rebounding from a crushing defeat at the U.S. Open to take a lead on the fi nal day only to blow it once again. Sergio Garcia once again blowing it on the fi nal day of a major isn’t really a storyline anymore, but it happened again. Spieth four-putting himself out of contention only to come roaring back was incredible. Is he the fi rst person to ever say, “If only I had three-putted right there”? Tiger Woods is somehow always still a story and his decline continued with a pitiful performance. A three-way tie forcing a playoff was the stuff of storybooks and movies. Truthfully, I don’t know much about Zach Johnson. I’m happy the American won, I suppose, but I didn’t really have any vested interest in the playoff. I was just enjoying some nail-biting golf (yes, that can happen). I don’t really watch golf except for the majors. The Masters is by far my favorite event of the year, but each of the four majors has its own allure, so to speak. That said, watching golf is a poor excuse for actually playing the game we love. Of course, this little break in the action might have come at a perfect time. I’ve been more frustrated on the golf course in recent outings than I ever remember being. Most of it is my battle with trees. Nobody goes out to the golf
course thinking half of their shots are going to be punches under, through or around trees. That’s just not fun. But that’s what I’ve been doing for weeks now. I just can’t get out from the shadow of trees. Even when I hit what I think is a great shot, it’ll tail off or take a bad bounce and stop directly behind the one tree on the entire hole. Golf has the potential to be a frustrating game at all times, but it should never be NOT fun. What’s the point of going out if you’re not having fun? I had been thinking about taking a week off anyway just to try to unwind and come back really looking forward T to playing again. Needing to play f once a week for these articles can make it seem more like work than fun. I shouldn’t be thinking about what I’m going to write about when I’m out there. We’ll see what happens next week. I’m going to be very sad if I take another week off, so hopefully the weather and my body both cooperate. Until then I’ll just have to be happy playing board games. Shameless plug: Be sure to check out my…friend’s review of Abyss in this week’s Chautauqua Star. It’s an awesome game. As always, golf is great (most of the time). Go get some.

Darren would be so proud and humbled to have this run held in his honor.” The run will start at Brocton Central School and finish at the Brocton American Legion Post 434– both on Main Street in Brocton. Registration starts at 9:00am. The run begins at 10:00 a.m., rain or shine. The certified 5K run route will take runners and walkers through the rural countryside past numerous grape farms and vineyards where Darren grew up. Runners and walkers can register online and on-site the day of the run. All run participants and supporters are invited back to the American Legion Post for a post-race celebration that includes Chiavetta’s Chicken Barbeque, Basket Raffle and other activities. Last year the run raised over $16,000 for the Darren Manzella –Lapeira Veterans Assistance Fund administered at the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation. This fund offers financial assistance as well as counseling services to local veterans in need. Monies raised from this year’s run will be donated to the same fund.

Entries Completed For Gerry Rodeo
Contributed Article Paul Cooley
An all-time record 207 professional cowboys and cowgirls have submitted entries to compete for $45,000 in prize money in the seven traditional rodeo events at the 71st annual Gerry Fire Department’s PRCA rodeo, scheduled for four performances, August 5-8. The contestants come from 25 states and Canada as well as one entry from Australia and include a number rodeo’s top competitors. Leading the list is bareback rider Tim O’Connell from Zwingle, Iowa, who recently won the College National Finals and is presently third in the world in the professional rankings. Also competing in the bareback event are Winn Ratliff, Leesville, La., and Jake Brown, Hillsboro, Tex., who are among the top ten in the current PRCA world standings. Former world champion in the tie-down roping event, Cody Ohl, will be making his first ever appearance in Gerry. Rodeo chairman Tom Atwell attributes the marked increase in the number of competitors to the fact that the prize money has been increased dramatically thanks to donations from the fire department’s auxiliary and a grant from an anonymous donor. In addition to the prize money, the winner of each event is awarded a pair
of Montana Silversmith hand crafted silver spurs. The event opens on Wednesday evening, August 5, at 8:00 and continues nightly through Saturday, August 8. There is no Saturday afternoon matinee this year, but there will be a free kids’ rodeo for children ages 3-8 in the arena at 4:00 that afternoon. Painted Pony Pro Rodeo of Lake Lucerne is the stock contractor and will be bringing about 125 head of stock to Gerry. The famous beef barbeque dinners are served from 5:00 to 7:30 each day in the air conditioned dining hall with the midway, featuring 20 vendors offering everything from Western wear to cotton candy, opening at 5:00. The rodeo is sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association as well as the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association, and all competitors must be members of their respective organization. The cowboys and cowgirls receive no pay or expense money for competing unless they place in their event. All proceeds go to the Gerry Volunteer Fire Department as this is their major fund raising event in their efforts to provide fire and emergency protection to the area.

Rex Ryan Skydives With Army Parachute Team By Jonah Bronstein Associated Press
NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (AP) -- Rex Ryan's first touchdown as Buffalo Bills coach came from 3,000 yards in the sky. Ryan descended more than 9,000 feet Friday in a tandem skydive with members of the United States Army Golden Knights parachute team at the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station. ''That was awesome,'' Ryan said moments after landing. ''I'm ready to go again.'' Known for his ''ground and pound'' football, Ryan readily accepted an invitation to take to the air with the Golden Knights. The group frequently performs at Bills' games at the annual Thunder of Niagara Airshow. ''I like living,'' Ryan said. ''I just like doing stuff like this, a little thrill seeking. It beats going to a state park, I think.'' After free falling for about a minute at a speed approaching 300 mph, according to U.S. Army officials, Ryan landed safely on a grass field, though he did slip upon hitting the ground. At a rare loss for words, Ryan had difficulty describing the experience. ''You guys need to do it,'' he said. ''Unless you do it, I don't think people can do it justice on how to describe it.'' Ryan, however, discouraged his Bills players from following his lead. ''I don't have to play,'' he said. ''So, yeah, not recommended for the players. But for a coach, go for it.'' After landing, Ryan greeted one of his former players, New York Jets wide receiver Eric Decker, who rode along on an F-16 fighter jet with the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds.

Ryan was hired by the Bills in January after his dismissal following six seasons with the Jets. Ryan declined to comment on offensive line coach Aaron Kromer, who has been put on paid administrative leave after he was arrested last weekend on a misdemeanor battery charge in Florida. ''I'm not going to add anything to what we've already released as a team,'' Ryan said. ''A lot of the process is still going on.''
Longtime Bills Voice Van Miller Dies at 87 Contributed Article Associated Press
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -- The voice of the Buffalo Bills from the team's earliest days in the AFL has died at age 87. Bills President Russ Brandon announced Saturday that retired broadcaster Van Miller died on Friday. Miller began his broadcasting career in 1955 calling high school sports for WBEN radio and television. He became the Bills' play-by-play man during the team's first season with the AFL in 1960. Miller served in that role from 1960 to 1970 and again from 1978 until his retirement in 2003.
He called a total of 605 Bills games during his career. ''As the 'Voice of the Bills,' Van's historic radio calls of Bills games over the years will forever resonate with our fans,'' Brandon said in a statement. ''His Hall of Fame and Wall of Fame talent was overshadowed only by his engaging personality, his witty sense of humor and his love for the Bills. We will all dearly miss 'Uncle Van,' but his legacy will remain deeply embedded in our franchise's history and in the hearts of his countless fans in Western New York and throughout the NFL community.'' Miller was remembered by friends and colleagues as a funny guy and an expert at his craft. ''He was hilarious,'' Bills broadcaster John Murphy told reporters Saturday. ''He's probably the
funniest person I ever met.'' Murphy worked with Miller professionally for 16 years, but the two were friends for more than three decades. ''It is a difficult day,'' he said. ''My two sons think of him as Uncle Van. Our whole family is close to him.'' In addition to his job as a Bills broadcaster, Miller also called games for the Buffalo Braves from 1971 to 1977 and worked as a weather reporter, game show host and television sports director. He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Gloria; a daughter, Cathy; a son, Van; and three grandchildren.

Kyle Busch Races To Third Win Of The Year By Dan Gelston AP Sports Wrtier
LOUDON, N.H. (AP) -- Stuck in a hospital, Kyle Busch could only think about a comeback, not championship contention. Could Busch imagine, days after a horrific crash, he would become a title contender? ''Yeah, right,'' he said. ''You're crazy.'' Nothing seems preposterous these days for Busch, whose dormant-to-dominant run over the last two months has not only made him a regular in victory lane, but steamrolled him toward the cusp of a Chase berth. Busch rolled on Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, winning for the second straight weekend and the third time in the last four NASCAR Sprint Cup races. ''This is something I'm not sure we ever would have expected,'' Busch said. Busch isn't where he needs to be in the standings quite yet. His three wins are certainly enough to earn a Chase for the Sprint Cup championship berth. He's still outside the top 30 in points, which is the second major qualifier to race for the title in the final 10 races of the season. Busch won at Sonoma Raceway and last
week at Kentucky Speedway and is 33rd in the standings, 58 points behind David Gilliland for 30th. Cole Whitt is 31st and Brett Moffitt 32nd, easy pickings for Busch. ''I'm not sure we've unleashed the beast at all,'' Busch said. Busch broke his right leg and left foot in a crash the day before the season-opening Daytona 500. He missed the first 11 races of the season, then returned in late May determined to earn a playoff spot. Busch, who last won at New Hampshire in July 2006, said Friday he still is bothered by the leg injuries. The aches hardly seemed to matter in the No. 18 Toyota. ''We've got to keep doing our deal,'' Busch said. ''Every week it keeps getting better and better.'' Busch has gained 70 points on the 30th spot over the last two races and is not only a threat to qualify for the Chase - but to win it all for Joe Gibbs Racing should he crack the 16-driver field. ''Ever since that injury, he's been on it,'' Gibbs said. ''I don't know what (the deficit is) now but it's sure helping.'' With Busch in the field or not, JGR has three other contend-

ers in Carl Edwards, Denny Hamlin and Matt Kenseth. Kenseth finished sixth, Edwards started from the pole and was seventh, and Hamlin 14th. JGR took four of the top-five spots at Kentucky. Busch won and Hamlin-EdwardsKenseth went 3-4-5. ''I think we're certainly back, closer,'' Gibbs said. ''I don't know that we've turned the corner.'' NASCAR granted Busch a waiver upon his return that made
him Chase eligible, should he qualify. He has seven races left to crack the top 30 before the Chase opens Sept. 20 at Chicagoland Speedway. Busch had one of his best performances in his comeback, rallying from a lap down to win. Busch, who led 95 laps, stayed out during a late pit stop to take the lead from contenders Brad Keselowski and enseth. Keselowski was second, followed by Kevin Harvick, Joey Logano and Dale

Earnhardt Jr. Keselowski led a racehigh 101 laps and his No. 2 Ford appeared the car to beat, leaving him clearly irked at losing the lead with 48 laps left. How tough would it be to beat Busch in the Chase? ''He's good,'' Keselowski grumbled, ''but we're a good team and I feel like we can beat him.'' Crew chief Adam Stevens, in his first season calling the shots in Cup for JGR, made
all the right choices to keep Busch in contention for the win and a crack at the top 30. ''I don't have any fears of being able to close that gap,'' Stevens said. Busch was joined by son Brexton, born in late May, in victory lane wearing a No. 18 outfit. He should have borrowed his son's bibs for the winner's 21-pound lobster he was awarded in victory lane. He also made it 12 different winners at the last 12 New Hampshire races, the longest active streak at any track without a multiple-race winner in NASCAR. On a day with temperatures soaring into the 90s, Matt DiBendendetto and Michael Annett were treated after the race at the NASCAR care center. ''This is one of the warmest days I can remember in this part of the country,'' Busch said.
