Taking advantage of over $1 million obtained from the state in the form of state grants, various stakeholders in the community are collaborating on a series of projects all aimed at improving the Lake Erie waterfront that runs through Chautauqua County. The City of Dunkirk and surrounding areas within Chautauqua County will all directly benefit from three state grants announced late last year, funding which includes $1 million for the northern Chautauqua County water district, $540,000 for a seawall and bike path project in the City of Dunkirk and another $65,000 for what is known as the Lake Erie Waterfront Revitalization Program. The latest development related to the water district project was a meeting held last week that established the Chautauqua County Water Agency. The establishment of the water agency included the appointment of Town of Pomfret Supervisor Don Steger as chairman of the new organization and Village of Brocton Mayor David Ha-

zelton as vice chairman. Chadwick Bay Regional Development Corporation Director Kathy Tampio said the Feb. 13 meeting helped set the groundwork for an organization that she said will lead to an ongoing dialogue about the importance of having the water agency in place. “Our first meeting last Thursday was very productive,” said Tampio, who also serves as clerk of the Chautauqua County Legislature.
“Between having a chairman and vice chairman get appointed and holding some really good discussions, we have put things in motion. Now we’re going to kind of step back a little and have our engineers take the lead and draft up some ideas and concepts that should benefit the future of this regional water project.” Incorporated in 2003 to promote economic and infrastructure development projects of regional
significance, the Chadwick Bay Regional Development Corporation meets regularly to discuss actions needed to take in order to accomplish projects located throughout northern Chautauqua County. The $65,000 for the Lake Erie Waterfront Revitalization Program will be used to pay for environmental studies and other planning projects for the new water district. Continued on pg 10

school, but making copying and pasting a Fortune 500 company’s excel spreadsheet equations didn’t teach me to budget for the utilities. I was one of those college kids who was sucked into the scam of credit card companies quickly in college. I don’t blame anyone for that – it was my own decision and lack of personal discipline that led me spiraling into a debtfilled pit. By the grace of God we’ve been able to climb slowly out of that pit, but I know that I fell there in part due to ignorance. High school students should not have more focus on Sine, Cosine and Tangent when they have no idea how to conduct themselves in an interview. We should not have a greater focus on the Latin terms for animal classification and the proper care and feeding of a child. Do I believe it is the job of public education to train and equip children for the world? Yes and no. Of course, it starts at home. My parents taught me well, but they also allowed me to fail to learn from my mistakes - something I’m incredible thankful for. They helped me when I needed it, and let me learn my lessons
when it was effective and not detrimental. But, if we are going to have a public education system, then let it do its part to help families. I didn’t know what a stock was until halfway through college. I didn’t understand anything about buying or maintaining a house until I began to experience these things for myself. A foundation to build on should be given higher priority than learning who the third king of England was. My wife and I have not yet decided where, or how, we will educate our children. But whether it’s at public, private or home school, they will learn to ‘eat the hay and spit out the sticks.’ My children will be taught, and expected to retain, relevant information over antiquated nonsense that bears no fruit on their future.

I can’t remember one time I was thankful for the hours I spent learning about dark poetry or an entire semester focused on ‘Great Expectations,’ other than a desire it put in me to never write something so difficult to comprehend. This may sound ignorant to you, but since it’s my commentary I’ll say it anyways. Write me a letter if it bugs you. I’ll read it – even if it’s in Old English. Today, though, I want to ask why I didn’t learn more practical things. I took cooking classes in high school because I saw the relevance. I took classes that taught me how to care for children because I saw the relevance. But these classes were not required. When I graduated, I entered a world that expected me to know how to budget my money and make a calendar and organize my schedule and fi x my computer – and never trained me how to do it.

stocking up for winter By Katy Wise Star Contributing Writer
It’s winter clearance time! What does this mean? Well for this family, it means stocking up on lots of little boy clothes for next year’s fall and winter seasons. A few months back, you may have spotted an article about stocking up on clothes for spring and summer. Towards the end of summer 2013, we started keeping an eye out for clothes that would fit our boys this upcoming (hopefully sooner rather than later) warmweather season. With the weather we’ve had over the past month, they might just start wearing shorts once it hits 40 degrees again! Kidding, of course. But we are very ready for some fresh spring air around here, as I’m sure every Western New Yorker can relate. Back on topic, we managed to stockpile around 45 items of clothing, for an average cost of $2-$3 per item. All of the clothing came from quality children’s clothing stores, such as Carter’s and The Children’s Place, and included shorts, pants, t-shirts, polos, socks, baby rompers etc. Anything that was essential for a basic toddler wardrobe we purchased, times two!
Placing your clearance rack scores in labeled tubs makes it easy to locate the right sizes for your child.
Although I mentioned two brand names above, I can promise you that I am by no means a snob when it comes to where our kids’ clothes come from. Many of those clothes don’t know what they’re in store for. When they likely will encounter Joshua’s ‘puh-getty’ (spaghetti) stains, mud pies and watercolor masterpieces, I have no desire to pay full price. Whether not paying full price means using a coupon at the store, or getting them used. Requirements for children’s clothing is that
they are durable, clean, and fit well, not necessarily brand new. Many of the clothes that our boys have worn were from thrift or consignment stores, yard sales or hand-me-downs. When we do get used clothing, I look for the same brands that I mentioned above, because I know that they will fit our kids, wash well and last the longest. Honestly though, when you can buy brand new clothes for the same price or cheaper than used clothing store prices, why wouldn’t
you? Precisely why I shop the end-ofseason clearance racks! If you have children to shop for or perhaps you need a few items for your own winter wardrobe, now would be a perfect time to make a list. Take note of things that you wear often and would like more of, or things that need to be replaced. Be as specific as possible when making your list. When I went shopping for the boys’ summer clothes, I already had an idea of how many shorts and how many shirts they each would need. Having a list will keep you from over-purchasing, which is easy to do when you’re surrounded by clearance racks! Now you might wonder why I am telling you all of this before I have gone shopping myself. The reason is that I want you to be able to snag some good deals too. As of right now, you still have time to get in on all of the end-of-winter clearance sales. So get your lists prepared, coupons clipped, and have at it. Don’t forget that we would love to hear from you, if you snag some great stuff during your own Winter Stock-Up, please share your success with us! Thanks for reading, and happy homemaking!

Chautauqua County Receives Notice Of Intent To Terminate Jamestown Scheduled Air Service
County and State Officials Work on Finding New Airline Service Carrier for Jamestown Airport Contributed Article Office of the County Executive
Silver Airways Corp, the United Airlines contract carrier operating flights out of Jamestown, has notified the United States Department of Transportation that they intend to terminate scheduled airline services out of several North East regional airports including the Jamestown Airport on or about May 15. The company cites pilot shortages, reduced passenger enplanement numbers, and United Airlines’ decision to reduce their flights out of Cleveland which is the hub serving Bradford and Jamestown. In response to this notice, County Executive Vince Horrigan, Director of Public Facilities George Spanos, and Airport Manager Sam Arcadipane have been in
“I encourage all area residents to continue flying out of Jamestown so that we can keep our passenger count as high as possible for new carriers to respond favorably to the pending new RFP,” said Horrigan. “Currently, Silver Airways is offering one-way, nonstop flights between Jamestown and Cleveland for the bargain price of $49.

Sparr was a terrific soloist,” and the Santa Cruz Sentinel writes, “Soloist D.J. Sparr wowed an enthusiastic audience… Sparr’s guitar sang in a near-human voice.” Dr. Sparr is a graduate of the Eastman School of Music (B.M.) and the University of Michigan (M.M., D.M.A.). His principal teachers include Michael Daugherty, William Bolcom, Sydney Hodkinson, Christopher Rouse, Joseph Schwantner and Augusta Read Thomas. He studied with John Harbison at the Aspen Music Festival and the Oregon Bach Festival
and was an Associate Artist-in-Residence under Aaron Jay Kernis at the Atlantic Center for the Arts. Born in 1973 in Santurce, Puerto Rico to Cuban parents, composer Armando Bayolo has been hailed for his “suggestive aural imagination” (El Nuevo Día) in works that are, “full of lush ideas and a kind of fierce grandeur, (unfolding) with subtle, driving power” (The Washington Post). His “music combines the audacity of popular music, the verve-filled rhythmic language of Latin America, and the pugnacity of postmodern classicism into a heady, formidable concoction” (Sequenza21), and “deserves to be heard many more times, and in many more places. It is new, it is fresh, and it gets its message across” (The Charlotte Observer) “with quite a high degree of poetic expressiveness” (Music-Web International). Mr. Bayolo is the recip-
ient of important commissions and awards from the Aspen Music Festival, the Fromm Music Foundation at Harvard University, the Music Department of the National Gallery of Art, the arts councils of the states of Iowa and North Carolina, the Cintas Foundation, the Minnesota Orchestra and American Composers Forum, the Consortium for a Strong Minority Presence, the all-Virginia Intercollegiate Band, and the Festival Interamericano de las Artes. Besides being active as a composer, Mr. Bayolo is an “adventurous, imaginative and fiercely committed (The Washington Post) advocate for contemporary music in American culture through his activities as Artistic Director and conductor of Great Noise Ensemble, curator of the New Music at the Atlas series and as a writer for such publications as Sequenza21 and NewMusicBox.

revitalizing Chautauqua County, continued from pg 1 “We are off to a good start but we still have work that needs to be done,” said Tampio. “We have strong support from the Chautauqua County Legislature and other entities who are showing a strong interest in revitalizing our region.” Dunkirk Mayor A.J. Dolce said the $540,000 in funding for replacement of the seawall along Lake Front Boulevard will help improve public safety and help make the area more of a destination for nearby residents as well as visitors to Chautauqua County. “We are just really excited about moving forward,” said Dolce. “We are working with our representative from the New York State Parks Department and we have had meetings with our engineer about the seawall portion of the project and things are heading in the right direction. Not only does this address a need and take care of a safety hazard, but it also helps with the
ongoing efforts of revitalization. There really is a lot of good things happening there.” Dolce said plans for the waterfront include the possibility of splash pools and other recreational activities being incorporated into a master plan that includes the creation of a grand entranceway to the beach from Lake Front Boulevard. The recreational bike path will start at Point Gratiot near the Dunkirk Historical Lighthouse and run up along to the Lake Front Boulevard area of the waterfront. A total of $250,00 in grant funds was previously earmarked for the bike path project, which is expected to begin in the spring. Tampio said the revitalization program got half of what was requested, with the other half being obtained from various local sources that included Fredonia State College, Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation and Nestle-Purina. Her enthusiasm for
the program has been inspired by the collaboration shown by various entities and major stakeholders in the community, including Chautauqua County Executive Vince Horrigan and various town supervisors and village mayors. “There is renewed interest and I think the reason why it is succeeding is because of the regional nature and regional approach to this,” said Tampio. “It is what the state wants to see with a regional project with regional benefits.” Dolce agrees that the open and honest discussions amongst elected and appointed officials that has taken place over the past few months is encouraging. “There’s a great deal of dialogue taking place amongst all of the entities involved with this,” said Dolce. “There is great energy and a real positive vibe in the air. The decision makers all seem to agree that a regional approach to improving our waterfont is the way to go.”
Allegany/Cattauraugus CCE, continued from pg 6 NYCO, a group of grain and dairy farmers that has been meeting together since 1994, is celebrating its 20th anniversary of sharing practical knowledge and expertise with the organic production of crops and milk.

the musical relationship between the children and the college student performers develop as the concert progresses. The musicians are sharing music they love, and the children certainly respond to that," said Sarah Hamilton, associate professor of oboe and co-organizer. A woodwind quintet will perform at the Mar. 1 concert. The musicians are Fredonia School of Music students Sydney Moore, flute (Bryon, NY), Michael Banko, oboe (West Seneca, NY), Omar Calixto, clarinet (The Bronx, NY), Leah Cripps, bassoon (Central Square, NY), and Jeremy Hachten, horn (Lancaster, NY). "The Children's Concerts are enjoyable, child-appropriate opportunities for very young children to inter-
act with music and musicians. For the young audience and the performers, music becomes a playmate to join in a thrilling adventure." said Jill Reese, assistant professor of music and co-organizer at the Fredonia School of Music. "During these events, learning and teaching among the children and the student musicians is mutual: children learn about music through moving, listening, and creating, and our student musicians learn to engage young imaginations and ignite new musical passions!" The Children's Concert Series is part of the Musical Journeys Program, a community outreach project offered by the Fredonia School of Music.

ALERT - NO-FAULT BENEFITS UNDER ATTACK
• If you have been injured in an auto accident, New York State Law requires the insurance carrier for the vehicle you were in to cover your related medical expenses and any lost wages (Insurance Law Section 5103).
• Recently, many insurance carriers are attempting to avoid this legal duty by paying biased doctors, often from outside the area, to support them in cutting off these important benefits.
CAMPBELL & SHELTON LLP has taken the following steps to protect our clients: • We will send an investigator to any suspicious exams and videotape the physician. • We will sue any insurance carrier who denies our clients their benefits without a valid basis (we recently obtained a judgment against Allstate for a client’s unpaid benefits, costs and interest). For these and many other reasons, if you are injured in an automobile accident you need experienced and capable legal representation as soon as possible.

This year the students have a chance to do more than just help these organizations grow; they have a chance to
preserve some of the greatest areas in the county as well.” The announcement was made earlier today during a news conference hosted by the seniors in the Williams Center at SUNY Fredonia. The organizations were chosen from 16 applicants, which is the largest amount of applications the program has received since it began in 2001. This is also Fredonia’s larg-
est class of public relations students to work on the project, marking the fourth straight year of record enrollment. The Community Partners Program is an annual project of the public relations major capstone course, Public Relations Campaigns. Students divide into groups that act as “mini” public relations agencies and develop comprehensive strategic plans for local,
nonprofit organizations. At the end of the semester, each student group “pitches” its campaign, which includes research, goals, objectives, strategies, tactics and creative materials, to their assigned client. Both organizations will be given all of the groups’ materials and recommendations at the end of the project, however, to aid them in further implementation.
In addition to preserving 71 acres of land in Chautauqua County, Greystone Nature Preserve provides experiential education to community members of all ages and abilities.

Money Saving Favors, Continued By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
One of the easiest ways to save money on your wedding is to cut back on unnecessary expenses, such as favors. Last week, we took a look at buying discounted favors such as Valentine’s Day candy. Buying candy on sale after the Holidays is one way to save a ton of money, if you are interested in using candy as a favor, or as decoration on tables at the reception. There are plenty of other ways to get good prices on store bought favors, such as buying in bulk from party stores and other places such as Oriental Trading that specialize in parties. When you are buying things for your wedding, make sure to ask if there are any quantity discounts or store programs that you can sign up for. Cashiers and employees are available for you to ask these kinds of questions, and are often very pleased to answer them! For example, stores such as The Paper Factory in Fredonia have store cards that keep track of how much you’ve spent, and after a certain amount is
reached, you can earn coupons or gift certificates for a later purchase. Although these store cards aren’t topic specific to favors, the rewards that you could earn from purchasing favors could pay off big time when you later need to buy things such
as paper plates, cups or napkins for your bridal shower or reception. As candy has already been mentioned above, there is one particular method of giving candy away as a favor that has not yet been said (in this article at least!). That would be The Candy Bar.
Using several types of candy, making sure that there is somewhat of a variety, display candy on a table along with some goodie bags. Allow guests to scoop treats into their goodie bags to their hearts’ content. This customizes the favor to each individual
guest, and takes away some of the work from having to assemble favors for each guest. The entire table full of sweets can also create a very charming little display, reminiscent of an old corner store candy shop. Depending on the season and couple, bever-
ages can be another cute favor idea. A tea bag or two, hot cocoa, apple cider and coffee are all great ideas especially if there is a sentimental tie to one of those three. For example, if the bride or groom works in a coffee shop, or perhaps enjoyed hot cocoa on a first date together. Some beverage options along this line may even be available in small, personalized bottles. You may want to go to the company’s personal website to see if they have a store with such items available. If not, you can always make your own labels with your names and wedding date! These are the kinds of details that will help to make your wedding personal to you, and make your wedding a day to be fondly remembered by all of your guests. Continuing on the theme of edible favors, mints are also a winner with a tag that says something cheesy such as ‘mint to be.’ Whether your wedding is cheesy romantic or classic and elegant, any of these ideas can be tailored to your tastes. Thanks for reading and stay tuned for next week’s article with even more favor ideas!

Faith is This week we'll consimply trusting God tinue our discussion on to do what He says He the importance of faith will. While this may in getting our prayers sound simple…it can be answered. a challenge. While faith
pleases God, it doesn't please the devil! When you take a faith stand in a particular area of your life, Satan will often throw everything contrary to your stand to get you to doubt God and His promises. Although these things may come at you, it is important that you resist speaking against your own prayers. Watch what you say! For example, if you are praying for a better marriage, you must be careful not to speak bad things about your spouse, no matter how tempting. Asking God to bless your marriage and then complaining about it isn't the Godkind of faith. In Mark 11:22, Jesus says, "Have the faith of God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast in to the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will come to pass, he will have whatever he says." Next week…more on prayer.
the weekly word PEOPLE ARE nOT yOuR PRObLEM
Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church Jamestown fcjamestown.org
When handling relations, whether our marriage, friendships, or working relationships, we must remember this important truth: People are not our problem. So many of us know somebody that makes our lives difficult. We often think life would be better if they would just peacefully leave us alone. But the world is fi lled with difficult people and the devil will always make sure to send one into your path. People are not your contest. People are not your adversary. There is a real God and there is a real devil. And Satan’s method is to stir up people against you and then he hides behind them, hoping you will retaliate against them, thus giving him permission into your life. Ephesians 6:12 says, “We wrestle not against flesh and
blood but against… spiritual wickedness in high places.” There is an unseen realm that influences and pushes against people and, at times, manipulating them against us. This is why God’s Word, the Bible, tells us to “let patience have her perfect work, that you may be perfect, entire, and lacking nothing.” ( James 1:4) We should have mercy on people because often they are not acting alone. They are being influenced by their flesh and by demonic personalities. So basically, have mercy on them, because it isn’t completely their fault. It never pays to be aggressive against people. Because when we are, we have missed the true source of our opposition. Have you ever wondered what motivates people to say the hurtful things they do? As a pastor, I have had people write the most detestable letters and emails. I have even had a hand written death threat left on my door. This is why I can forgive them: They didn’t act alone. Ultimately I had the sense to know it wasn’t people that are trying to bring me down, it’s the devil. We all will need forgiveness at some time, so it’s important to be
merciful when we have the opportunity. Satan needs a certain atmosphere to be the most effective. Are you familiar with the basic science behind a summer thunderstorm? Basically, a storm is created when cold air collides with warm air. The two air masses rub against one another, friction occurs, and a large static charge is created in the form of lightning. And if that power is not respected, people get hurt. In the same way, the devil’s plan is to create friction between people. Only then will his power work. James 3:16 says, “For where there is strife, there is confusion and EVERY EVIL WORK.” Strife is just friction between people. And like a thunderstorm, the devil depends on friction to work his evil plots. Mercy, patience, forgiveness, and love diffuse the plans of the real adversary. But setting your sights and taking shots at people will only destroy the world around you. It will erode your joy, your peace, and also your fi nances. If you decide to fight with your spouse or a coworker, you better ask yourself, “Can I afford it?”

five will get the flu. Many people turn to over-the-counter medicines (OTC) for relief from their cold and flu symptoms. When illness strikes, treating your symptoms safely and responsibly is just as important as relief. During this cold and flu season, McNeil Consumer Healthcare,
the maker of Tylenol, is educating consumers about the safe and appropriate use of medicines through its educational initiative “Get Relief Responsibly.” Many cold and flu medicines contain acetaminophen, a common pain reliever used to provide relief from their cold and flu symptoms such
as fever, sore throat, and body pains. Acetaminophen is the active ingredient in Tylenol but it can also be found in more than 600 OTC and prescription medications such as NyQuil, Theraflu, Percocet and Vicodin. If you take multiple medicines at a time to treat various symptoms,
it is important to be aware of the ingredients and to follow labels to prevent accidentally taking more than the recommended dose. “Acetaminophen is safe when used as directed, but taking too much can harm your liver,” says Edwin Kuffner, M.D., Vice President of Medical Affairs at Mc-
Neil Consumer Healthcare. “Some people may accidentally take more than the total daily dose of acetaminophen because they do not realize they are taking multiple products containing acetaminophen, or because they may not read and follow the label.” Continued on pAge 23

A woman can round this prevention program out by knowing her routine blood work numbers (HDL/LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting glucose, and blood pressure) and significantly reduce her chance of developing heart disease. Women do experience heart attacks differently than men, so awareness of female symptoms is another form of heart disease prevention. In addition to the typical pain in the chest and severe sweats suffered by both sexes, women can often confuse heart attack symptoms with indigestion, heart burn or anxiety. They can also experience pain in the jaw, neck, back or stomach, have nausea or shortness of breath. By becoming more aware of her heart health, a woman can significantly reduce her risk of developing heart disease and ensure her loved ones that she’ll keep on ticking for a long time. A woman can love herself by loving her heart all year long, not just in February, Women’s Heart Health month.

A continuous parade of talent made its way across the stage at the Lakewood Rod and Gun Club during the 33rd Annual Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame Induction Banquet, Monday night. The wonderful evening was highlighted by stories, laughs, tears and eight new inductees into the Hall of Fame. The keynote speaker for the event was Sharon Robinson, acclaimed author and daughter of Major League Baseball legend Jackie Robinson. “It’s my second trip (to Chautauqua County),” Robinson said. “The first time was a lot warmer. I was at Chautauqua Institution probably 10 years ago. This evening is a combination of two things that I love — sports and literature.” The event kicked off with a cocktail hour that allowed all of the inductees to mingle with friends, family and fans that came to show their support on the special night. The club was packed to the gills as over 400 people came out to make the event a huge success. It was the largest crowd ever for a CSHOF induction ceremony. Before any of the inductees were introduced, the

Bills Face Tough Decisions In Offseason By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor Sharon Robinson, celebrated author and daughter of MLB legend Jackie Robinson, signs a copy of her book at the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame banquet. (Photo by Stefan Gestwicki)
CSHOF recognized athletes from Chautauqua County that accomplished great things in the last calendar year. Those feats ranged from being named to FirstTeam All-State Teams like Jamestown football players Jake Sisson and Stephen Carlson to Highland Games World Amateur Champion Nick Kahanic of Falconer. A complete list of recognized athletes was printed in the Feb. 14 issue of the Chautauqua Star. Each of the athletes was
presented with a plaque from Sharon Robinson and their accomplishments were announced to a round of applause. The first of the eight new inductees into the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame was Westfield native Vincent Calarco. The World War II veteran turned 90 this past May and spent 50 years as a basketball referee, officiating games throughout the area. He also formed a semi-pro basketball team, the Calarco Trojans, which
played in the Merchant League and eventually the Chautauqua County Basketball Association. During his playing days at Westfield Academy, Calarco was a standout athlete in football, basketball, baseball and track. During his high school career he earned 15 of a possible 16 total letters. Following Calarco was the posthumous induction of the great Geza Farkus. His award was accepted by Farkus’ son, Miki.
I came to the realization the other day that the Buffalo Bills are the Pittsburgh Pirates of the National Football League. As most sports fans know, the Pirates were a sub-.500 team for 20 consecutive seasons, yet were rarely the absolute worst team in the game. They were bad, certainly, but never bad enough to grab one of those can’t-miss, franchisechanging, Stephen Strasburg-type prospects at the top of a draft. The Bills are in the same type of rut. Since Buffalo lost to the Tennessee Titans in the 1999 playoffs, the team hasn’t been over .500 in 14 seasons.

Born in Budapest, Hungary, Farkus developed a love and talent for the sport of gymnastics. He trained long, grueling hours before and after school growing up. He was selected for training with the Hungarian National Olympic team. After being named to the Hungary Olympic team, Farkus competed in the 1952 Oslo Olympics and the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. He finished 15th in the All-Around in ’56 and his Hungarian team won a bronze medal. At the time the team had the medals stripped for refusing the carry the Communist flag during the ceremony, but those medals have since been restored. After coming to the United States in 1956, Farkus found a Hungarian community in Ohio and began coaching gymnastics at Kent State. He moved to Jamestown in 1960. He was selected as the YMCA’s National Coach of the Year in 1996 and continued to coach until his death at 69 in March 2002. In 2004, the Geza Farkus Achievement Award was established by Stroup’s Gymnastics and is now given to a gymnast who has overcome situations that would deter most gymnasts from continuing to compete in the sport. The next inductee to take the podium was Major League Baseball front office veteran and Jamestown native Dan Lunetta. Lunetta is currently the director of minor league
administration for the Detroit Tigers but has previously served as director of team travel for both the Montreal Expos (now Washington Nationals) and the Cincinnati Reds as well as the Florida (now Miami) Marlins’ director of minor league administration and baseball operations. He’s also been the special assistant to the general manager with the Expos. He owns a World Series ring from his time with the Marlins. But Lunetta got his start as a groundskeeper right here in Jamestown at then College Stadium in 1979. “When I was a junior in college I needed a summer job,” Lunetta shared. “I went to see Russ Diethrick, who was the director of parks and recreation for the city. He said there was an opening for a groundskeeper at the stadium. Little did I know that it would be the springboard for a 33-year career in baseball. It worked out very well.” He worked his way up the chain in Jamestown until he sat at the general manager of the Jamestown Expos before moving on to bigger and better things. Now, he’s part of the newest class of the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame. “It really is hard to put into words,” Lunetta said of the honor. “I never thought I’d be here some day. The thrill of being here is as big a thrill as getting to the World Series. It means that much to me.” Former LPGA golfer Cindy Miller
was the next athlete to be officially inducted into the Hall of Fame. She had the crowd laughing with stories of her family, her time on the Tour and her time on the reality show, Big Break III. Miller, born Cindy Kessler, was born in Dunkirk and now resides in Silver Creek. She didn’t start playing golf until she was 15, but proved to have incredible talent in the sport. She played for the University of Miami golf team that won national championships in 1977 and 1978. After that, she won the 1978 New York State Women’s Amateur Tournament. “I hate to say it but no,” Miller said when asked if there was ever a time when she knew she had the skill to make golf a career. “I’ve always been an underdog. I’ve always had to practice so hard. Maybe when I won the New York State Amateur. I just beat a girl on my golf team at the University of Miami. But I’ve always had to work hard.” After playing a handful of years on the Women’s Professional Golf Tour and the LPGA Tour, Miller moved back to Silver Creek with her husband, PGA pro Allen Miller, and started teaching golf at the Wehrle Golf Dome in Williamsville. She was named among the Top 50 Teachers in the Country by Golf For Women Magazine. In 2010, she was named the LPGA National Teacher of the Year. “No are you kidding,” she laughed
when asked if teaching came naturally to her. “I married a guy that was a student of the golf swing. I asked him to marry me because I figured I could get free lessons. Now 32 years later I’m better. So that was a smart move, wasn’t it?” Miller was featured on Golf Channel’s Big Break III: Ladies Only in 2005. She was 48 years old at the time and competed against women in their 20s and 30s. Nevertheless, Miller made it to the top-3 on the show and became one of the most popular women ever on the show. “That was so much fun,” Miller said of the show. “I couldn’t believe I got picked to be on the show. It was definitely scary, intimidating and probably the most fun I’ve had in my life.” Al Muck, a Forestville sports legend, was the next man to the podium to receive his honor. “When I got the phone call it was complete surprise and shock,” Muck said about being inducted into the Hall. “The first thing I said was ‘I think you have the wrong number.’ At first I was kind of embarrassed. I felt like I don’t belong with famous people like Cindy Miller and Dan Lunetta. Then as time went on and I received more and more cards, phone calls and congratulations from people in the public contradicting that feeling, I started to feel like I do belong and it’s a great feeling.” Continued on pg 24

Muck was a dynamic athlete in high school. He helped Forestville to numerous titles in football, basketball and baseball, though baseball turned out to be his bread and butter. He was signed by the Kansas City Athletics organization and played parts of four seasons in their Minor League system. He played with and against many future Major League ballplayers throughout his career. Since that time, Muck has continued to put his talents on the baseball field to good use. He’s played on the Jamestown Old Timers for the past 20 years and played in the Roy Hobbs World Series for eight years — being named MVP in the 60plus division in 2008. “It’s hard work,” Muck said of the toll 60 years of baseball has taken. “When I first started playing Old Timers baseball I found out real quick that if you don’t do a lot of stretching, your body is going to tell you. I got some home exercises that I still do yearround to stay stretched
major sports venues. Prechtl taught elementary school at Chautauqua and was employed in the Jamestown School district for 30 years. He worked with YMCA-based programs involving sports and education and was known for volunteering countless hours to help provide young people the opportunity to enjoy sports. Prechtl passed away in 2008 but will forever be remembered as the great man that he was. Southwestern coaching legend Tom Priester was the seventh inductee in the Class of 2014. Priester was a coaching fixture for 45 years at Southwestern. His cross country teams became legendary and were Division 1 champs in 2000, 2001 and 2005. His girls teams were league champs from 1985-1987 and again in 1989. He had 28 different runners compete in the state championships. He helped coach two-time state champion Brian Hull to the pinnacle of success in 1973-74. While cross country was
His long jump record of 22-feet, 2-inches still stands at Southwestern more than 60 years after he set it. He signed a contract with the New York Giants (now San Francisco Giants) organization after high school. He played in the Minor Leagues from 1953-55. After serving in the Army for two years, he decided to pursue an education rather than attempt to continue his baseball career. He and his wife moved to San Diego where he joined the coaching staff at La Jolla Country Day School, where he was a math teacher and coach for the next 34 years. His teams won many accolades and he became the first coach ever inducted into the LaJolla Country Day School Hall of Fame in 1996. Then in 2001, Wigley was inducted into the San Diego Hall of Champions. Wigley’s wife Carolyn flew in from San Diego and accepted the honor on behalf of her husband. Many of Wigley’s former teammates and friends were present
out. The older you get, the harder you have to work so you don’t hurt yourself.” Muck is also a long-time member of the board of directors for the Northern Chautauqua County Youth Hockey Association. He spent many years coaching and refereeing youth hockey as well as Little League and Babe Ruth baseball. Former Fredonia sports star Tom Prechtl’s induction followed and his award was lovingly accepted by his son, Mark. Prechtl was a star athlete in basketball, football, baseball and track at Fredonia High School from 1950-1953. He led the basketball team to a perfect 18-0 season in 1953, a season the Hillbillies claimed the Section 6 championship. He went on to play basketball at Niagara University. There he played with three teammates that went on to have enormous success in the NBA — Larry Costello, Hubie Brown and Frank Layden. He played games at Madison Square Garden, the Boston Garden and other
where his teams had the most success, he also coached track and field, tennis, boys volleyball and bowling during his coaching career. Also on his long list of accomplishments is a distinguished track and field officiating career. He has officiated NCAA Division I, II, and III championship meets and even officiated a pair of U.S. Olympic trials. He won numerous awards for his service to the sport of track and field. Of course, Priester was an athlete himself, playing four years of soccer at Slippery Rock University and competing in all levels of softball for more than 40 years in Jamestown and North East. The final inductee was John “Jack” Wigley, who is considered by more than a few people to be the greatest athlete to ever come out of Chautauqua County. The late, great Wigley was a star athlete in not two, not three, not four, but five sports — football, basketball, baseball, track and volleyball.
at the ceremony. A long-time friend, Tony Barone, gave a touching introduction for the legendary athlete. After all eight inductees were honored, Robinson enthralled the crowd with stories of her father and family. “When you’re young, you just want him to be dad,” she noted. “He played that role very well. You certainly know there’s a difference because you go out in public and people are always talking to him and wanting his autograph. I knew about the baseball years, but that wasn’t my focus.” Certainly congratulations go out to the eight new inductees and their families. The Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame is ran by a board of volunteers and all of those individuals should be commended as well. The Hall is located 15 West 3rd Street in Jamestown. It’s open noon-3 p.m. every Monday-Friday. NOTE: Press releases from the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame contributed to this article.

The fi nal tally for Pink The Rink 2014 resulted in a $10,000 donation from Fredonia State men's hockey to the American Cancer Society. Mike Porpiglia, a representative for the Eastern Division of the American Cancer Society, came to campus Monday afternoon to personally thank Blue Devil head coach Jeff Meredith, and to accept a check for the final $1,900 in donations. The team previously presented ACS with a check for $8,100. The fi nal $10,000 donation is a new Pink The Rink record. "This is wonderful, how amazing!," Mr. Porpiglia wrote to Coach Meredith last week as they were making arrangements for Monday's visit.

Thank you for all of your efforts and dedication! I don't believe that we can thank you enough for so wholeheartedly supporting the mission of the American Cancer Society in Western New York." The Blue Devils raised the money through the sale of game-worn pink jerseys -- personalized with the names of loved
ones who have fought cancer -- for $250 each. The players wore the jerseys, plus pink socks, for the Feb. 1 home game vs. the Morrisville State Mustangs. This year's ante was higher than in previous years due in part to one jersey, dedicated to Fredonia resident Alice Moore, eliciting over $1,100 in donations. Ms. Moore -- the daughter of former Blue Devil men's basketball coach Kevin Moore -- received the jersey as part of the annual postgame ceremony. In addition, all four
on-ice officials wore pink-and-black striped shirts for the game for the first time. All four jerseys were either sold or auctioned off and the receipts added to the fi nal tally. Since Pink The Rink began in 2007, the Fredonia State men's hockey team has raised nearly $52,000 for breast cancer research. That figure does not include all the gate receipts collected by the athletic department and donated to the American Cancer Society over the years. This year's gate brought in approximately $3,000.

Free Rodeo Camp Scheduled For April will be held, rain or shine, in both the Rodeo Conference Center and the rodeo arena. The event is open at no charge to beginners who are at least eight years old and want to learn about rodeo and to cowboys who are just starting out and want to learn more about the sport. Lunch will be provided for all camp participants. The PRCA says the camp is a fun, positive rodeo experience with some of pro rodeo’s top champions providing free training in the rough stock events. Some of the topics covered are fundamental

chute procedures, safety, riding equipment, fitness,
nutrition, injury prevention, and livestock care. There will be no live buck-outs. All registrations must be done on line at no cost through the PRCA headquarters, and the camp is limited to the first 40 applicants. Forms can be completed at www.prorodeo. com/youthrodeo.aspx. Click on Youth Camps on the drop-down menu and complete the application. Further information is available by contacting Julie Jutten, the camp director, by email at jjutten@prorodeo.com or by phone at (719) 528-4729.
Rodeo chairman Tom Atwell says that this selection is an honor and a tribute to Gerry’s 70-year history of sponsoring pro rodeo here. Gerry is one of only two sites selected in the East for the camps with the remaining sites located from Texas to Colorado. The 70th annual Gerry rodeo, which is the longest consecutively running rodeo east of the Mississippi, is scheduled for five performances from July 30 through August 2. More information is available at the rodeo website www.gerryrodeo.org.

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2014
COMMEnTARy, COnTinuED fROM PAgE 24 They’ve finished 6-10 in four of the last five seasons. That kind of sustained mediocrity (at best) is a recipe for disaster. The highest draft pick the Bills have had in that time third in 2011 when they took Marcell Dareus. By most accounts, Dareus hasn’t lived up to that lofty draft status. That trend will continue in the 2014 draft, where the Bills will be ninth (barring trades). You can bet that there are plenty of targets on the Bills’ radar, but let’s save draft talk for another day. The draft isn’t for quite some time, but teams could start handing out franchise tags this past week and we have seen a number of extensions and cap casualties throughout the league already. First let’s examine the big questions that surround the Bills in the coming weeks and months. • What will the Bills do with safety Jairus Byrd? I might be the wrong person to be writing about this since I know there are a lot of Bills fans reading, but I think they let him walk. First of all, Byrd has not been the same play-making ball hawk he was in his rookie year. He came into the league and made a big name for himself and I feel like he’s been living on reputation since then. Secondly, does anyone actually get the sense that Byrd wants to stay in Buffalo? Usually guys say all the right things, but Byrd
can’t even do that. He was steamed that he got franchise tagged last year and he’ll be a raging volcano (Can anyone name that movie reference?) if he gets tagged again. Let’s say the Bills tag Byrd again. That means they’ll have to pay at minimum 120 percent of what the 2014 franchise tag is set at. By all accounts, that means the Bills would have to pay close to $10 million for one year of Byrd’s services. No thank you. And again, there’s almost no way he signs a long-term deal in Buffalo. It’s just not going to happen no matter how many Bills fans want him to. Sell those Byrd jerseys on eBay now, folks. • How will the Bills address the quarterback situation? So far, there’s only one quarterback that’s guaranteed a spot on the 2014 roster. That quarterback is obviously second-year pro E.J. Manuel. With all of Manuel’s injuries last year, the backup quarterback spot became increasingly important. Needless to say, neither Kevin Kolb, Thaddeus Lewis nor Jeff Tuel impressed to the point of earning a roster spot. Kolb, in fact, is as good as gone. His career might have ended with his last concussion and his $3.6 million cap number is precious money the Bills could allocate elsewhere. Tuel went undrafted for a reason and hopefully won’t be back. Lewis

played pretty well in his emergency starts, but with Manuel’s injury/ inconsistency history, the Bills might be wise to upgrade. One intriguing name is one Bills fans (and myself for that matter) probably don’t want to hear — Michael Vick. It’s easy to forget that Vick wasn’t bad at all last year. He lost his job when he went down with an injury and Nick Foles took the Eagles’ starting gig and ran with it. But Vick should be affordable on the free agent market. He could certainly teach Manuel a thing or two about combining foot speed and arm strength into a more effective package. And realistically, Vick would instantly become the best quarterback on the roster. Barring the Bills spending a high draft pick on another quarterback, Vick might be the best option from a pure football standpoint. Whether Bills fans could forgive Vick’s checkered (aka criminal) past would be another story. • How will the Bills spend their cap space? Yes, I just discussed
releasing Kolb for cap space, but the truth is the Bills have a lot of money to play with this offseason. Even with big contracts locked in to guys like Mario Williams and Eric Wood, the Bills will carry over nearly $20 million in cap space. Of course, that number is before possibly extensions for guys like Dareus and cuts like Kolb could give the team even more space. The Bills are also in a pretty good situation in terms of talent on the team. Sure, there are a handful of positions of need, but nothing that requires an instant fi x (except maybe quarterback). So who might be available to help this team? The defense made great strides under last year’s defensive coordinator Mike Pettine. But he’s now the head coach of the Cleveland Browns and former Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz steps into the vacated role in Buffalo. For all his years in Detroit, Schwartz fielded a great defensive front and a terrible secondary. Expect him to try and remedy that in Buffalo. With Stephon Gilmore, the Bills al-
ready have one young, talented cornerback. The signing of someone like, say, Tennessee Titans cornerback Alterraun Verner would be a great move. He may not have a household name yet, but Verner is widely considered the best available cornerback in this year’s free agent market. If would have to be a bold offer, but if the Bills could nab Verner, it could prove genius. The other move that might be made is the release of wide receiver Stevie Johnson. I would 100 percent agree with that move as Johnson is another guy living off reputation lately. But it would also mean the Bills would be in need of a proven receiver to line up opposite second-year man Robert Woods, among other promising young talent. The answer? Perhaps a man that just played in the Super Bowl — Eric Decker. All season long I said Decker was the best player (sans Peyton Manning) on the Denver Broncos offense. I stand by that statement now. If the Bills could bring in a big, strong receiver like Decker, it might take the offense to a whole new level. NOTE: For what it’s worth I should mention I’m all for the Bills spending their No. 1 draft pick on a big-time receiver if he’s there at the top of the draft. Of course, last year the Bills made very little noise with signings like Alan Branch and Manny Lawson. Neither of those moves blew up social media,
but both men were key in turning around the Bills defense last season. It’s possible all we get are a few moves like that and hope for continued improvement from young guys like Gilmore and linebacker Kiko Alonso. One guy who might fit that mold is Kansas City Chiefs left guard Jon Asamoah. Certainly not a huge name, Asamoah could immediately improve the offensive line and help open running lanes for what should be a very solid run game in Buffalo. Resigning a guy like Scott Chandler would also be a wise, yet affordable, move for the Bills brass. NOTE: Drafting North Carolina TE Eric Ebron and resigning Chandler would give the team a (theoretically) awesome tight end duo. Naturally there are more questions facing the Bills. How will the defense respond to Schwartz’s intensity? Will Alonso get moved to outside linebacker? What will Manuel do to improve on a shaky rookie campaign? Perhaps those are questions I’ll answer in a future commentary.

By Rob Maaddi
How much emphasis do NFL organizations put on a player's combine results? It varies, depending on a team's draft philosophy and needs. ''We use it is as a dealbreaker,'' Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said. ''If you have a running back that runs a 4.9 in the 40 and our research says no fullback in history that ran a 4.9 has ever started, now you're playing against the odds. Maybe that's the one guy that can do it but you are really fighting the odds. We're not building a team of exceptions.'' The mental aspect of
testing plays an important role in determining whether a team wants to take a player in the first round or lower, or even at all. Players must impress general managers in interviews, score well in the intelligence test and attempt to prove they won't be a troublemaker on and off the field. Don Yaeger, owner and president of 180 Communications, started a program six years ago that helps players prepare for interviews, how to deal with the media and handle social media. Yaeger and his team
have worked with athletes at EXOS (formerly Athletes Performance) for several years. They've also helped the University of Michigan, Atlanta Braves and Buffalo Bills. ''You may run a fast 40 but there's going to be another guy that runs it just as fast as you, so the guy that stands out sometimes is the one who answers questions better,'' Yaeger said. ''The tangibles are often really close but it's the intangibles that can make or break these guys. We challenge them the same way trainers are challenging
them and it's working.'' Elton Gumbel, the company's director of multimedia, flew to Los Angeles to personally work with Jordan last year. ''We do mock interviews and we grill them with random questions, football questions, redflag questions,'' Gumbel said. ''We record it for them, play it back and show them where they messed up, didn't make eye contact, stared down, looked nervous. We let them know to approach those 10 or 15 minutes like a job interview with millions of dollars on the line.''

Russia Knocked Out Of Olympic Hockey By Finns By Greg Beacham AP Sports Writer
The Russians dutifully shook the Finns' hands and then skated to the center of a rink built to showcase their return to Olympic hockey dominance. When they raised their sticks in a mournful salute, they got more whistles than cheers from their devastated fans. Alex Ovechkin, captain Pavel Datsyuk and their teammates had nursed dreams about this week for several years - all their lives, really. They were all dashed in 60 frustrating minutes against Finland. Russia crashed out of the
Olympics in the quarterfinals Wednesday with a 3-1 loss, extending a historic hockey nation's gold-medal drought past 22 years and putting an enormous damper on the final days of the Sochi Games. ''Inside, I'm absolutely empty,'' Datsyuk said through a translator. Teemu Selanne scored an early goal and Tuukka Rask made 37 saves as Finland crushed the Russians' plans to win hockey gold in front of their own fans for the first time. Russian and Soviet teams have won eight gold medals in hockey, but none since the Unified Team's victory in 1992. Ovechkin, Datsyuk and Evgeni Malkin all hailed
Russia's home Olympics as the most important tournament of their careers, and President Vladimir Putin led the chorus of Russians hoping for another golden moment in Sochi. They'll likely have only bitter memories after losses to the United States and Finland, which left Russia out of the medals entirely for the third straight games. ''I can only apologize to the fans for the results,'' Russia coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov said. ''It was unfortunate for us. Expectations were quite different. I can only say words of apology.'' Despite its roster of highpriced offensive stars, Russia couldn't score in the final
52 minutes after Ilya Kovalchuk's early power-play goal. Russia pressed relentlessly and fruitlessly in the third period, but Rask stopped each of their 15 shots. ''To be honest, I'm a little bit sad, also, for them,'' said Selanne, a six-time Olympian. ''Obviously, they had a big dream to win the gold medal here, and then it doesn't work, so it's kind of disappointing in many ways, because that would be a great story. But again, it's proving to the hockey world that you never know.'' Ovechkin, the reigning NHL MVP and one of the Sochi Games' most public faces, failed to score another goal for Russia after scoring on his
first shot just 1:17 into Russia's opener against Slovenia. Malkin, who dropped to one knee after the final horn, also didn't score a goal after the first 3:54 of the opener. ''We had a good start, score (on the) power play, feel pretty good,'' Ovechkin said. ''Few mistakes cost us the game. We tried to score another one, but we didn't score. ... No emotion right now.'' Selanne and Mikael Granlund each had a goal and an assist for the steady Finns, who overcame an early deficit and silenced the Bolshoy Ice Dome with two goals in the first period. Finland will face top-seeded Sweden in the semifinals on Friday. Continued on pg 35

mark of eight golds. It was his second victory in Sochi, coming after his gold in the men's sprint biathlon. "It's fantastic, I never imagined this would happen,'' Bjoerndalen said. "Bjoern is still my big hero ... He gave me a lot of motivation. Now I have the same gold as him, and that's cool.'' Daehlie won eight gold and four silver medals at the Olympics; Bjoerndalen's haul is now eight gold, four silver ... and one bronze. And he's got a shot at another medal in Sochi by lining up in the 4x7.5K relay on Saturday. "It's difficult to realize during the championships what has happened because you try to focus on the races,'' Bjoerndalen said. "It will only sink in after the Olympics.'' King Harald V of Norway was among the first to congratulate him Wednesday on his record-breaking win.

"My shooting was really good,'' said Bjoerndalen after hitting all 10 targets in the mixed team event. "I was focused better today. I was really nervous before the race because in a relay you don't go for yourself, you go for your team.''

So it's amazing to be on the team with him, because he's the king of biathlon.'' Svendsen praised his teammate not only for winning medals, but also for his impact on the biathlon sport in Norway. "It's amazing to be part of biathlon history,'' Svendsen said. "We take so many things for granted these days in our training and in our race preparation, but much of that we can only do thanks his experience.''

Juhamatti Aaltonen scored the first goal for Finland, the most consistent Olympic team in the last two decades with medals in four of the past five games. Russian fans realized the importance and peril of this game, filling the Olympic Park early in the afternoon with cheers, chants and Russian flags. The Bolshoy crowd began
chanting ''Ro-ssi-ya!'' even before pregame warm-ups, waving hundreds of flags and banners emblazoned with hometowns and slogans. The tone was uncommonly intense from the opening faceoff. After Granlund took an
early holding penalty, Datsyuk fed Kovalchuk for a hard shot over Rask's shoulder. Kovalchuk popped the water bottle off the top of Finland's net and celebrated with a twofooted leap into the air amid ecstatic cheers. But moments later,

Aaltonen made a beautiful move along the goal line, putting a shot under Varlamov's glove arm for the KHL forward's first goal in Sochi. Bolshoy got quiet, and it became positively funeral-like late in the period when Granlund outskated Slava Voynov up the boards, broke past two defensemen and fed Selanne for the Finland captain's Olympic-record 22nd goal. Finland scored again on the power play early in the second, with Granlund collecting Selanne's rebound and
sliding in a backhand from a sharp angle for the final goal. Dozens of fans lingered in their seats long after their team left, disconsolately folding their flags and staring at the ice. A few Finnish fans near center ice even went up to a group of Russian fans for a hug. ''It's a catastrophe,'' said Sergey Kazakov, a 58-year-old businessman from Moscow. ''We've been preparing for the home games for seven years, and what? Just a group of stars, but no team and no result.''
