Recently, someone accused me of being addicted to “golf”. When I asked them to explain their ridiculous claim, the only thing they could come up with was to say, “you’re addicted because you play every day”. I immediately denied that lie and informed them that although I like to practice and try to have a club in my hands as often as I can, the only time I play 18 holes is in a tournament, unless it is a very special occasion…maybe 3 times a year. If this person had accused me of being addicted to playing in tournaments, I might have agreed. Nevertheless, because I am the “most open minded person I know”, I decided to research the topic and find out what health professionals have to say about golf addiction. I believe most of us look forward to playing golf because it is a way of getting rid of the “cobwebs” that accumulate during the day in our minds and helps us to “escape”…for a little while…to “clear our heads”.

Charlie Blanchard,The Golf Doctor says, “Just about all addictions have fundamentally the same underlying habits, thought distortions, denials and emotions in common”. Compulsive golfing seems a more “socially benign affliction than say gambling or drug use”. Mr. Blanchard believes more people are addicted to golf in one form or another. He says if that thought concerns you, there are a few warning signs and symptoms that suggest you could be addicted:

* Have you let golf interfere with your work so that your job or business is suffering?

* Has golf affected your personal relationships with loved ones resulting in friction, resentments, and arguments?

And then there is Dr. Lawrence Conell, a psychiatrist, addictionologist and avid golfer who believes that, “many of us are physiologically and psychologically addicted to this beautiful, aggravating, consuming game we call golf”. He doesn’t want us to immediately jump to conclusions but he does want us to understand the criteria for something to be classified as an addiction: ed in Madison County.

SUMMARY OF BOND RESOLUTION

11am til gone

In other words, “golf taken to an extreme, can definitely be classified as an addiction”, according to Dr. Conell. And if that isn’t bad enough, he believes, “excessive golfing can be compared to gambling and alcohol consumption on the course, effectively combining addictive behaviors”. He also acknowledges, “there are positive aspects of the game like being immersed in nature, exercise and being with friends that can be a fulfilling experience with lasting positive effects”. The Doctor’s last words on the subject are his best…”This game can teach us many of golf’s life lessons for success and failure. Rather than letting golf rule our lives, let’s make sure we guide golf to take us to greener pastures of mental health”. Amen Doc.

My final thought…I believe I am addicted to golf, but only in a good way. How about you?

John A. Okunski, 79 Cazenovia school crossing guard

John A. Okunski, 79, of Cazenovia, died Thursday, July 6, 2023, at St. Joesph’s Hospital with his family by his side.

John was a mainstay in Cazenovia as a crossing guard for Cazenovia schools. He was visible on the corners of the village early in the morning and in the afternoon guiding children, adults and dogs as well as school buses at times across the village intersections. This job with the Cazenovia police department speaks to what kind of person John was; loyal, dependable, kind and friendly. He cared about all of the kids he crossed and if one was absent he would wonder where they were and how they were.

John protected and provided for his Cazenovia family; his beloved partner in life Candace Nestor, his step-daughter Kristin Nestor and his precious cat, Martini.

John loved his children; Jennifer Okunski Geyer of Springboro, Ohio and his sonin-law Bryan. He adored his grandchild Francesca and his face would light up whenever he talked to her. He was so proud of his son, John, Jr., of Miami, Florida as well as his son’s beautiful wife Mirtha. He also leaves behind his treasured grandchildren, Gabriella, Amanda and Anthony.

John was extremely proud of his Polish heritage. He was born in Utica and attended high school there where he excelled in many clubs, activities and football. He then attended Utica College (Syracuse University) and graduated with a degree in biology. He was president of his graduating class and was named to Who’s Who in America Colleges and Universities. His initial goal was to attend medical school

Barbara Evans, 96 Active in the community

Barbara Stuart Bradshaw Evans of Cazenovia, passed away on March 10, 2022, at the age of 96. Barbara was born on May 4, 1925, in the Stockade District of Schenectady, N.Y., the youngest daughter of Clarence Walworth Bradshaw and Dorothy Tayler Bradshaw. After graduating from Nott Terrace High School in 1942, she went on to study art at Syracuse University. It was at Syracuse that she met her future husband, James Frederick Evans, Jr. They would wed on Dec. 16, 1944, at Trinity Episcopal Church in Constantia, N.Y. James had enlisted in the U.S. Navy the previous year, and served till the end of World War II.

After the war Barbara and James (affectionately known as Bobsie and Jim) lived a short while in the Capital District of New York, before moving back to Jim’s hometown Syracuse, and settled down in the Cazenovia area for the remainder of their 65-year marriage. This is where they raised three children, James, Margaret and Bradshaw, and where Bobsie would become immersed in community activities in Syracuse, most notably with the Junior League of Syracuse and the Cerebral Palsy Center. She also sponsored Fresh Air Kids from underserved communities in New York City to come live at her home for part of the summer in Cazenovia for a number of years.

Later she dedicated her time to several organizations in Cazenovia, receiving the Cazenovia Republican’s Civic Appreciation Award in 1982. Bobsie was one of earliest and most ardent advocates for recycling and other environmental efforts and did this before Earth Day was established. She would go on to dedicate her time to several organizations including the Cazenovia Performing Arts Guild where she would bring fine arts programs to the Cazenovia Central School District, Caz Cares, but was immediately offered a job at UPS which he was passionate about. He rose through the ranks and traveled around the country setting up management training schools. After a long stint at UPS he was active in trucking and warehousing throughout the Northeast.

John was an avid fan of all sports especially Syracuse University men’s and women’s lacrosse as well as men’s football.

John was predeceased by his parents John V. and Edwena (Dziuban) Okunski and his beloved brother Dr. Walter Okunski of Allentown, PA.

A celebration of life will be announced on a later date.
