An exhibit of women’s art that will display the positive energy and unstoppable attitude of several dynamic, successful and engaging women from Chautauqua County and beyond will open this weekend in a gallery located in the City of Jamestown. “Women Create 2014” is a community-minded, volunteer-run initiative that will highlight the various economic and creative contributions of women artists throughout the month of March. The celebration will kick off this Saturday, March 1 with an opening reception scheduled to take place from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the 3rd on 3rd Gallery, located at 116 East Third Street in Jamestown. The atmosphere of the initiative encourages participation in a dynamic and nurturing community of individuals and organizations who strongly support women and the arts. “What we offer to the community is an opportunity to hear each presenter give brief explanations about their work, what she was thinking about when she created it and the ability to ask questions and have conversations with each artist,” said Jennifer

Schlick, a local photographer who along with artist and instructor Debra Eck joined forces to establish the Women Create project. “Allowing each presenter to give brief talks about their work provides unique opportunities for dialogue and insight into the mind of each individual artist.” Saturday night’s opening ceremony is a free event, with donations being accepted to help defray costs associated
juror fees, publicity, refreshments and other expenses. In addition to this weekend’s opening ceremony, various exhibitors will appear at four special evening events called “salons.” Exhibitors Audrey Dowling and Megan Urban will be featured in the first salon on Wednesday, March 5 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the 3rd on 3rd Gallery in Jamestown. Dowling, who has been a professional artist for
three decades, will exhibit her stoneware “Blue Jay Energy.” Her work is highly regarded and widely collected, with some of her pieces included in prestigious art collections located throughout the world. Urban will have two different works on display, with “Teak” and “Orange” both pieces of art that use pigment, wax and gold leaf on lead, steel and wood. Continued on PG 10

absolutely nothing. All the debt in the world, not owning a house, not taking the wild and exotic vacations I’d dreamed of, couldn’t change the fact that I have what I consider to be the most amazing children a man could ask for. There’s a term often used in Christendom referred to as ‘progressive revelation.’ It means that the knowledge that we have, both spiritual and natural, is constantly evolving and changing. We found ourselves in doctrine, but as we grow as individuals and as a Church (the whole of Christianity) we understand those doctrines better and can apply them in a more efficient manner. That happened to me with my son. Before Joshua was born, I was told the old tale that ‘the second he’s born you’ll change. You’ll understand love like never before, the love of a parent for his child.’ Well, judge me if you like, but that didn’t happen for me. I loved him, sure, but there was no worldstopping moment when I understood that. Continued on PG 6

along. We’d intended on having a nest egg and being ‘fi nancially secure.’ Of course that’s still one of our goals, but having my wife stop working after 18 months of marriage put a slight damper on the paycheck situation. Looking back now, and looking at my two boys, I realize that there is no other way I’d have done things if I had the chance again. Being a science fiction fanatic, I used to mull over in my head what I’d do if I could go back in a time machine on my own timeline and change things. I’d be a better son, be smarter with my money and do more to get in shape when time was on my side. I’d mull over the ways that I’d woo my wife again, never once concerned that we’d always end up together. But then I began thinking about my boys. Without getting into the biological or philosophical details, the statistical chance of Joshua being born at the same time with my foreknowledge of the situation would be a near impossibility. It was then that I realized that I’d change

SPINACH & CHEESE STuffED MANICOTTI
By Katy Wise lvo, Star Contributing Writer

There’s something about toasty warm, oven-cooked food that makes the snow outside of our homes a little more bearable. One of the best things about cold weather is coming home to a delicious homecooked meal. Now that we here in Western New York have had over three months of just plain cold, some might say it’s the only good thing about winter. For one thing, the oven actually serves as a secondary heat source by making the house warmer. There have been quite a few occasions since our fi rst snowfall this year where I have used the excuse of turning on the oven to make brownies just to ‘keep the house warm.’ Although it may be a poor excuse, here is another ‘excuse,’ otherwise known as a recipe for you to try. This recipe makes plenty of food for a large family, and can be prepared in advance to save you some prep time. The manicotti contains some veggies, and goes great with a salad so it’s
already better for you than brownies. What’s the best thing? These noodles don’t have to be cooked ahead of time. They will bake just fi ne in the oven after being stuffed with ricotta cheese and covered with sauce. No fragile noodles to wrestle around with here!

1-2 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese. In a separate bowl, combine the sauce and water. If you prefer thick sauce, substitute 1 jar of spaghetti sauce for the 1 cup of water. Using a 9x13 baking pan, spread enough sauce to cover just the bottom, about 1 cup. Stuff the manicotti noodles with cheese mixture.

Library to offer At Audubon: Learn About Hemlock destroyers Construction Grant update “When you love hemContributed Article Audubon Center and Sanctuary
Contributed Article vice president of Clark Prendergast Library
Prendergast Library officials will update the public about proposed changes to its building during a meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 4, in the Fireplace Room. Work is expected to take place between April and November as a result of a Public Library Construction Grant through the New York State Library. “This project will enable handicapped patrons to use restrooms, provide expanded access to the second floor, and pave the way for more programming space,” according to Library Director Tina Scott. The grant provides for installation of five restrooms, including family use facilities. It also involves converting a freight lift to a passenger elevator and renovating storage areas. This is the second opportunity for the general public to become informed, following a talk and slide show last November by David A. Walter, senior
Patterson Lee Design Professionals. “Now we would like to present the timeline and show people what will be starting soon and happening over the next few months,” Ms. Scott said. Those attending will also hear about possible updates to original plans, such as an option to enlarge proposed men’s and ladies’ rooms. They would continue to be built where the microfi lm room is located in the front corner on the main floor. However, adding more toilets in the restrooms and more teen space above them would involve changes to the existing mezzanine, including a wall where a mural is now displayed. Representatives of the library’s Board of Trustees will be available to answer questions about the construction project at the program, which is free and open to the public. For information, call 484-7135. The library is located at 509 Cherry St., Jamestown.

Schlick will present a brief slideshow about this invasive species -- commonly referred to as HWA -- that is decimating large stands of the hemlock trees in the Great Smokey Mountains. She will also describe the multiagency effort underway to monitor these ecologically critical trees and to develop strategies for minimizing HWA’s impact now that it has been reported in our region. Following the indoor presentation, workshop participants will go outside to look for any evidence of the HWA in Audubon’s hemlock grove. Participants are asked to dress for the weather.

Michael Bird, publisher of the Westfield Republican/Mayville Sentinel, The Post-Journal, Dunkirk Observer and Warren Times Observer, was speaker for the Westfield/Mayville Rotary Club in January and spot-lighted the weekly Republican newspaper. Ogden Newspapers, owner of our local papers, is a diversified media corporation that publishes 40 daily newspapers, several magazines, weekly newspapers and shoppers located in 12 states from Florida to upstate New York and as far west as Maui, Hawaii. The company has been headquartered in Wheeling, WV, since September 22, 1890. Bird has been with Ogden since 1992, having several positions with the company that included publisher

Salem, Ohio, and the Daily Mining Gazette in Houghton, MI. He was commercial printing sales/manager for The Post-Journal from 1992 to 1997 and publisher for the Republican/Sentinel from 1997 to 1999. It might be said he “came home” again when he returned to become regional publisher of the four county papers. Born in San Diego, CA, he furthered his Northeast Texas high school days at a small college in Kilgore, TX. His wife of 20 years, whom he met in Arizona, is from Frewsburg. Eventually, they moved back to Chautauqua County to be close to her family and raise their four children in the Town of Kiantone. His oldest son is married and has one child, which makes Bird a grandpa. Bird oversees all the
papers from editing to business concerns. He said he had to bring the weeklies in line with finances so decided not to fill the editor position. Since most of that person’s time is putting together the publications, Jeremy Izzio paginates the papers from his office at the Observer. In addition to the weeklies, the Quality Guide, an advertising paper, is inserted each week. Handling that and making sure all goes well with the Westfield in-house papers as general manager is Jim Saxton, who was introduced by Bird. Although the papers are limited to a certain number of pages each week, Bird said that “small weeklies survive because of the people in the community. We need your support and we want to know what you’re doing. And, we would like to have more sports.” Continued on PAGe 21

Every student, from grade 7 through 12, selected seven workshops from the menu of 22 choices to fi ll his or her own Wellness Day schedule. All secondary school students started the day at a character education assembly by Nels Ross of In Jest. Based on the principle that every person is valuable, he presented a fun-fi lled, motivational and thoughtprovoking performance that featured juggling and other

He challenged students to make their own choices and set their own goals, considering “Is it worthwhile?” Then make a plan to reach those goals. In Jest carried on the themes of excellence, respect, responsibility and life choices in a series of 40-minute workshops. Students who chose the In Jest sessions tried their hands at balancing peacock feathers and juggling scarves and beanbags, always with the goal of doing one’s best. Among the lessons were these: Be willing to try. Overcome your fear of foolishness. Learn from your mistakes, and learn from the mistakes of others, “because you won’t live long enough to make them all yourself!” Set your own goals. See if you can do just a little bit more. Focus on your target, your goals. Attitude is about where you focus. Everyone learns at their own pace. If you say “I can’t,” follow with “yet.” Learn to adjust wherever you lack flexibility. In life, as in juggling, you must learn to adjust. A sense of humor is how attitude makes a

Workshops to encourage an active lifestyle included kickboxing, led by Rocky Signorino of Westfield Martial Arts; yoga with Julie Logan of Mayville; dance with Katie Jacobs of Pointe Chautauqua Dance, and P90X with Chautauqua Lake teacher Eric Schuster. SUNY Fredonia’s S.T.E.P.S. (Students Teaching Equals Positive Sexuality) peer education team presented skits introducing the steps to decision-making. Bob Mead-Colegrove of Buffalo State taught about the transition from high school to college. A group of presenters from Mission Meadows in Dewittville led team building exercises; community volunteers taught about group dynamics and effective leadership; guests from CASAC spoke about substance abuse and the impact of sugary drinks on health; and Sgt. Kirk Lyon, of the Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Department, taught about teens and the law, including the use and misuse of social media. Alycia Johnson of Chautauqua County Mental Health, who staffs a full-time satellite mental health office in the school, led guided meditation workshops. Social worker Ryan Smith of Family Service of the Chautauqua Region, Inc., gave tips on
boosting self esteem. Nicholas Rizzo of Chef To Go catering taught healthy cooking. Additional Chautauqua Lake staff led sessions on such diverse topics as on knitting for relaxation, responsible use of social media, and personal hygiene. All students came together at the end of the day for a pep rally, to cap off Winter Spirit Week. Student Administration representatives, with advisor Steven Johnston, coordinated spirit activities, including theme days with prizes for the best dressed, spirit banners, and a Mr. Chautauqua competition, judged on attire, a dance-off, interview responses, and a talent show. Junior Dustin Graziano was named Mr. Chautauqua, and the senior class won the week-long spirit competition. Principal Josh Liddell summed up the Wellness Day experience, “Our students had a great time attending many meaningful sessions. The kickoff speaker’s message of the importance of having a positive attitude, always giving your best effort, not being afraid to be courageous, and most importantly to remember that you are always valued, was very well received. Teachers Emily Perkins and Ashley Muscarella and our Sources of Strength students organized a great day to benefit all our students.”

Wait Until Dark Will Be Performed At JCC
Contributed Article JCC
The Jamestown Community College Uncommoners will perform Frederick Knott’s Wait Until Dark in March. The drama, directed by Robert Schlick with technical direction by Steven Gustafson and lighting design by Scott Barton, will be presented in JCC’s Scharmann Theatre at 8 p.m. on March 7, 8, 14, and 15 and at 2 p.m. on March 9. Tickets are available at JCC’s box office, 716.338.1187, or online at campusstore.sunyjcc.edu. Senior citizens and JCC Faculty Student Association cardholders receive a $2 discount when tickets are purchased in person. The cast includes Crin Fredrickson
Eva Jaquith of Cassadaga. Wait Until Dark follows a sinister con man and two ex-convicts who have traced the location of a mysterious doll to the Greenwich Village apartment of Sam Hendrix and his blind wife, Susy. Sam had apparently been persuaded by a strange woman to transport the doll across the Canadian border, not knowing that sewn inside were several grams of heroin. When the woman is murdered, the situation becomes more urgent. The con man and ex-convicts convince Susy that the police have implicated Sam in the woman's murder, and the doll, which she believes is the key to his innocence, is evidence.

If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, distracted, wanting to punch the love of your life in the face or all of the above, please try implementing some of these ideas before taking action. • Keep and maintain a to-do list. Knowing exactly what you have already accomplished, and what you still need to work on will help you to feel organized and manage your time properly. • Realize that the details are only details. Yes there are some details that you will remember for the rest of your life. But don’t stress yourself
wedding for an hour. • Date. Don’t forget to continue dating your future spouse throughout the planning period. Not dates to go look at invitations or pick out tuxes, but dates to simply enjoy each other. This is why you’re getting married, after all! • Get some Zzzz’s. Make sure to get some good rest, especially as you get closer to the big day. Rest will help your overall mood, your diet and ability to take on the world. And who wants to yawn at their wedding? • Have some ‘you’ time.

• Work out. It might be tempting to sacrifice your daily workout in order to get some wedding stuff checked off you to-do list, but working out will give you more energy to get things done and keep you fitting in that wedding dress! • Eat healthy. Too many brides stop eating altogether, whether from stress or in an attempt to lose weight. Starving yourself is unhealthy and will not help you to lose any weight. Maintain a healthy eating schedule and eat plenty of ‘good’ carbs, protein, fruits and veggies to keep you healthy and energetic. A good diet will also help to give you that wedding ‘glow’ in all your photos.

Keeping The Faith
The Weekly Word
This is true whether we are speaking in line with God's Word… or against it! It’s important to realize, however, that when we talk against our own prayers, we are not just demonstrating a lack of support for our prayers, we are actually creating more of the thing we are praying against! Some time ago I read a newspaper article concerning depression in pre-teen girls. The study cited found that those girls who got together with friends and complained about their problems were actually more likely to develop depression and increase anxiety. The psychologist's conclusion was, "what you say and think actually influences what you feel." They recommended using "happy talk" as a diversion or talking about solutions rather than just talking about the problems. Isn't it funny that it took a million dollar study to come to the same conclusion that God wrote in His
The Increase of God
Word so long ago? So you see that how we speak can influence our prayers…for or against! We must even be aware of what we say when we pray. Too many people try to use prayer as an opportunity to “vent” their negative feelings. They spent lots of time crying but have no faith in what God has already said in His Word. Are your prayers just complaints, or are you actually asking for God's intervention? Better yet… are you standing on His Word and telling God, in faith, that you believe His promises? For example…rather than just telling God that you are sick (complaint), wouldn't it be better to say, "I will get better." Better yet… how about saying, "I am healed because God says that I am (Isaiah 53:4, Matt. 8:17)." When we line up how we speak with what God promises us, our prayers will take on more effectiveness. Next week…other hindrances to prayer.

seeds? The Bible tells us what the “ground” is. In Matthew 13:19 Jesus is explaining the parable of the planter. He describes the Word of God as a seed and the heart of the hearer as the ground. What is the ground? Your heart! Just because you have seed does not mean you have a garden. You first must have the proper soil tilled and prepared to receive seed. The same is true with our heart. If you love money then increase in all areas of life will not come to you. ( 1 Tim 6:10) Why? Because good ground is not selfish. 1 Timothy 6:6 says, “Godliness with contentment is great gain (increase).” True contentment is only possible when you have obeyed God to the fullest. Notice what comes next: Increase. The people who love money the most will have the most sorrow but the people that value God over money will be increased. (Prov 10:22)

When To Seek Emergency Treatment
sure for 10 to 20 minutes then you should seek emergency care. A bleeding disorder is a condition that affects the way your blood normally clots. When you get injured, your blood normally begins to clot to prevent a massive loss of blood. If that doesn’t happen, it’s important to seek emergency treatment.
Contributed Article health problems. Westfield Memorial Hospital
When an emergency strikes, you need medical care and you need it fast. But sometimes it’s hard to tell if it’s an illness or injury that should have you rushing to the ER. The answer may not always be simple - but there are times when it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Heart attack symptoms
If you have any symptom that could be considered a heart attack, it is important to get to the emergency room for life saving treatment. Minutes count in a heart attack. Women are less likely to have the stereotypical chest, left arm, or jaw pain, so you should also look for other symptoms such as shortness of breath; sudden dizziness, weakness, or nausea; or unexplained sweating and fatigue. Heart attack symptoms are often ignored as indigestion or an annoying pain. However, these symptoms can lead to a deadly outcome if not checked by a physician.
Recognizing stroke symptoms can be easy if you remember to think FAST.
F= Face
Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?
A= Arms
Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
Serious burns
S= Speech
Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Does the speech sound slurred or strange?
T= Time
If you observe any of these signs, it’s time to call 9-1-1.
Head Trauma or loss of consciousness
Go to the ER if you received a blow to the head that results in a loss of consciousness, a seizure, or vomiting. Symptoms of a head injury can occur right away or they may even develop slowly over several hours or even days. A head injury does not require a fractured skull. The brain can bang against the inside of the skull and be bruised causing bleeding or swelling inside the skull.

There are three degrees of burns and the degrees are determined by the extent of damage to the body tissue. For major burns immediate medical care is necessary. In the meantime, here are steps to follow while getting to the emergency department. • Make sure the victim is no longer in contact with smoldering materials or exposed to smoke or heat, but do not remove the burned clothing if possible. • Don't immerse severe burns in cold water because it could cause a drop in body temperature and deterioration of blood pressure and shock. • Elevate the burned body part, if possible, above heart level. • Cover the area of the burn with a cool, moist, sterile bandage or clean, moist cloth.
It’s important to be prepared for emergencies by keeping a list of all the medications you take with you including dosages and any over-the-counter medications and vitamins; keeping a list Vomiting of any allergies, especially to Nausea and vomiting medications; and knowing about can usually be treated at home, but excessive past operations or medical vomiting can be a sign procedures can also be helpful of a more serious illness to an emergency physician in such as concussion, making an accurate diagnosis. meningitis, intestinal blockage, appendici-

Emergency departments are an essential part of our health care system. They are there to provide medical care at any time. If you have a serious condition stroke, heart attack, severe bleeding, head injury or other major trauma - go straight to the nearest ER. Don't take a chance with anything life-threatening. The ER is the best place for these and other critical conditions. And, the best way to get to the ER is to dial 9-1-1 because emergency responders can begin to administer life saving care on the way to the hospital It’s important to be prepared for emergencies by keeping a list of all the medications you take with you including dosages and any over-the-counter medications and vitamins; keeping a list of any allergies, especially to medications; and knowing about past operations or medical procedures can also be helpful to an emergency physician in making an accurate diagnosis.

Tuesday was a good night to be a Lady Panther at Chautauqua Lake Central School. Both the Panama Lady Panthers and the Pine Valley Lady Panthers survived close semifinal games and punched their tickets to the Section 6 Class D finals, set for Saturday at Jamestown High School at 1:00 p.m. In the first game of the evening, Panama kicked into a higher gear in the second half to pull away from Clymer, 57-40. While the final score looks lopsided, the game was remarkably close until the final minutes when the Lady Panthers were able to pile on the free throws. What turned the tide was Panama’s pressure defense that forced the Lady Pirates into numerous turnovers and poor decisions. “I expected a really tight, physical, close game,” Panama coach Rob Collver said. “And it was. “I didn’t expect our press to work as well as it did. In our earlier games (Clymer) broke our press and forced us out of it. “That’s the way we play,” Collver continued. “We’re fast. We’re small. We’re guard-oriented. Our bigs can move pretty well. We

were going to press no matter what.” The success of Panama’s press came as a surprise to both coaches. “Usually we do quite well against the press,” Clymer coach Scott Neckers said. “Most of the season we played pretty well against the press. We just threw the ball away too many times. You’re not going to win with that many turnovers. A lot of their points came off our turnovers.” Emilee Sperry paced Panama with 15 points and five steals, including 4-of-4 from the free throw

line. Allison Strickland was good for another 12 points in the win. Bri Marsh only accounted for six points, but was a big factor in other areas with four blocks and eight steals. Brittany Lenart had a solid game, too, with 11 points and a team-high seven rebounds. “Allison Strickland, our senior, had a torn MCL earlier in the year,” Collver commented. “She came back and has been playing a little bit. She came in and just ignited that press. She did a great job. And Bri Marsh on the back end. I don’t know how many tips she had but she had a
bunch of tips and steals. Between those two seniors, they led us. They did a great job.” Clymer was able to take slim leads after both the first and second quarters, largely because of the play of Carly McAfoose. She put together a double-double, finishing with 14 points and 17 rebounds. Kayla Gilkinson was second on the team with nine points. That Lady Pirate lead was erased quickly in the third quarter, when the Lady Panthers outscored Clymer, 17-10. Continued on pg 32

Five Individuals, One Relay Headed To States By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
Chautauqua County will be well represented at the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Indoor Track and Field Championship Meet on Saturday, March 1 at Cornell University. Five local individual athletes as well as Jamestown’s boys 4x200 meter relay team qualified for the state meet by performing well at the Section VI Indoor Track and Field Championships, held at Fredonia State on Friday. A few Jamestown Lady Red Raiders dominated the competition as they have all season long. In the 55-meter hurdles, Jamestown’s Summer Haight was first in the preliminaries, the semifinals and the finals. Her winning time in the finals was 8.60 seconds. Also going to states in the event will be Iroqouis’ Madison Roberts, who was second at 8.84 seconds. Fredonia’s Devin Kowalewski just missed the cut and was third in 9.00 seconds. In the 300-meter dash, Jamestown freshman Sarah Garvin secured a spot on the bus to states with her time of :44.10 in the finals. She was less than a second behind Sweet Home’s Terionna Ware, who won the event in :43.18. The third Lady Red Raider to clinch a spot

in the state championships was pole vaulter Mikayla Capestrani. The junior cleared a height of 11-feet, 3-inches to win the event. Madison Roberts of Iroquois was second at 10-6. In the boys meet, Jamestown’s Da’Quon Hollingsworth outran his seeding to take second in the event and earn a spot at States. After coming in third in both the preliminaries and the semifinals, Hollingsworth ran a 6.68-second race to take second in the finals. The final individual from Chautauqua County that will be headed to states is Fredonia triple jump specialist Matt Civilette. His leap of 42-9.75 was second only to Tapestry Charter’s Dawan Jones’ 44-5.75. The Hillbilly’s jump was still more than nine inches better than the third-place

athlete. One relay will be headed to states as well, as Jamestown’s boys 4x200 relay team of Henry Tapia, Hollingsworth, Kevin Tapia and Awsten Beaver crossed the finish line first with a time of 1:37.89. While it’s exciting for the local athletes that will travel to the state meet this weekend, there was also too much heartache as many athletes from Dunkirk, Fredonia and Jamestown just barely missed making the cut.
For Fredonia, Kowalewski was a mere .14 seconds from qualifying for the sport’s grandest stage in the 55-meter hurdles. Teammate Ally Cobb ran a 1:52.71 in the girls 600 meter run, but the top two times in the event were 1:39.90 and 1:43.32, respectively. The Jamestown girls 4x200 relay team of Shalon Manuel, Mikayla Capestrani, Sarah Garvin and Orianne Simon placed first in the preliminaries with a time of 1:54.81 but then dropped to

fourth in the finals with a time of 1:55.58. That relay missed states by less than two seconds. Dunkirk’s Nick Barlette ran nearly identical times from the time he placed second in the preliminaries (6.86 seconds) to the finals (6.84). But that time wasn’t good enough as a number of athletes ran much better in the finals than they did in the prelims and Barlette dropped to fourth. Another Dunkirk athlete placed second in the prelims of his event as Jose Morales had the second-fastest preliminary 300-meter time at :38.06. He dropped to fourth in the finals (:38.10) as the top two times were :37.27 and :37.59, respectively. Dunkirk’s Javier Soto was involved in the closest event of the day when he ran the 600 meters. Cheek-
towaga’s Jack Behlmaier clearly won the event at 1:26.89 but then three runners all crossed the finish line within a quartersecond of each other. Sweet Home’s Chris Dabney (1:28.07) will go to states while Lockport’s Mitch Loiacana (1:28.15) and Dunkirk’s Soto (1:28.35) are left to wonder what could have been. The Marauders’ 4x200 relay team of Ray Tarnowski, Jose Morales, Julio Cheverez and Barlette also just missed going to the state meet. Behind Jamestown (1:37.89) was Lancaster at 1:38.36. Dunkirk’s quartet was fifth just a couple seconds behind at 1:41.77. Be sure to check next week’s edition of the Chautauqua Star for results on the Indoor Track and Field State Championship Meet.

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2014
commentary, continued from page 24 Now, you’ve probably heard/read about Kobe Bryant and LeBron James giving their NBA’s Mount Rushmores recently. For what it’s worth, mine would be Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Kareem Abdul-Jabaar and Bill Russell. Good luck knocking off one of those four LeBron. While the two superstars going back and forth wasn’t terribly interesting in its own right, it did get me thinking about other ‘Mt. Rushmores’ that I could compile. I tried coming up with one for the entire Major League Baseball, but that was borderline impossible. I tried to come up with one for just the current MLB and that was slightly more doable, but still not good enough. Finally I decided to do the faces of each of the 30 MLB franchises. Some were obvious, others I had to do some digging while still others had amazing players that I had to leave off. So here’s how I came to narrow each team down to four: First off, I only included players. Branching out to managers and owners like Tommy Lasorda or Billy Beane would just add to an already full pot. Also, these aren’t necessarily the best four players for each organization, though that’s often the case. These are more of the four faces of the franchise, guys that fans immediately think of, guys that are synonymous with the organization. Therefore, often times
with organizations that switched cities and names I tended to use more modern players over those that played in the 1890s, etc. You’ll soon see what I’m talking about. And as always, feel free to disagree or send me your comments to stefan.gestwicki@starmediagroup.com. BALTIMORE ORIOLES: Cal Ripken Jr., Brooks Robinson, Jim Palmer, Eddie Murray. NOTES: You were expecting Brady Anderson? Ripken’s streak of 2,632 straight games started will never be broken. It’s the equivalent of nearly 16.5 seasons. BOSTON RED SOX: Ted Williams, Carl Yastrzemski, Pedro Martinez, David Ortiz. NOTES: Williams and Yaz have a combined 37 All-Star appearances between the two left fielders. Pedro and Ortiz helped return the organization to prominence. NEW YORK YANKEES: Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Lou Gehrig, Derek Jeter. NOTES: I tried really hard to include Joe DiMaggio and Mariano Rivera — two absolute legends — but who do you take off? Each might be considered better players than Jeter, but ‘The Captain” was no doubt the face of the Yankees during his career. TAMPA BAY RAYS: Evan Longoria, David Price, Carl Crawford, Aubrey Huff. NOTES:

the name. DETROIT TIGERS: Ty Cobb, Hank Greenburg, Al Kaline, Miguel Cabrera. NOTES: I won’t hear any arguments about how Miggy hasn’t been in Detroit long enough to be with these three legends. Look at the stats. He belongs. Also, how sweet would it be to see Max Scherzer and his two different colored eyes on a Mt. Rushmore some day? KANSAS CITY ROYALS: George Brett, Bret Saberhagen, Frank White, Hal McCrae. NOTES: George Brett is a legend. The others? Well this isn’t the strongest Mt. RushKirby Puckett is already in the Hall of Fame, but more on the list. We’ll he’d also be on the Minnesota Twins’ Mount Rushmore. (AP Photo/John Dunn) leave it at that.

LOS ANGELES ANGELS: Nolan Ryan, Garrett Anderson, Chuck Finley, Tim Salmon. NOTES: This seems like a pretty weak Mt. Rushmore if I’m being honest. The fact that Garrett Anderson has the best hitting career in the history of the franchise is just weird. Another Nolan Ryan sighting is always welcome, though. OAKLAND ATHLETICS: Rickey Henderson, Mark McGwire, Reggie Jackson, Dennis Eckersly. NOTES: I made this list very quickly, but then as I did research I realized that I was missing franchise legends like Jimmie Foxx and Al Simmons. Unfortunately for those guys, I couldn’t make room for them. SEATTLE MARINERS: Ken Griffey Jr., Edgar Martinez, Ichiro Suzuki, Randy Johnson. NOTES: I thought about Alex Rodriguez because he put together some monster seasons in Seattle, but I wouldn’t do that to Mariners fans. I’ll let them stick with four guys that didn’t embarrass themselves and the sport. TEXAS RANGERS: Ivan Rodriguez, Michael Young, Juan Gonzalez, Rafael Palmeiro.

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2014
COMMENTARY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 28 I include the infamous Palmeiro. That’s more a case of the Rangers lacking other options, however. Raffy was a great ballplayer. Period. Pudge was the best defensive catcher I’ve ever seen. He makes Yadier Molina look like Michael Barrett (one of the worst defensive catchers ever for those of you that don’t get the reference). ATLANTA BRAVES: Chipper Jones, Hank Aaron, Warren Spahn, Eddie Mathews. NOTES: Wow. Did I really just leave off Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz? Yes. Yes I did. The problem was that the four that made the cut are legends and the three pitchers are forever linked together. I couldn’t pick just one or two. MIAMI MARLINS: Hanley Ramirez, Dontrelle Willis, Jeff Conine, Luis Castillo. NOTES: You’d think for a team that has won two World Series in its relatively brief existence, they’d be able to do a little better than Castillo, but I couldn’t make it happen. Ramirez was legitimately great while Conine was Mr. Marlin. Willis ascended like a meteor to perhaps unparalleled popularity with fans, but burned out quickly. Castillo was with the team for 10 seasons and was a pretty good player. NEW YORK METS: Tom Seaver, Mike Piazza, David Wright, Dwight Gooden. NOTES: Certainly
one of the easiest teams on the list. Good luck coming up with even one name that you can argue should be on this list ahead of any of the four I have. Not only were (are, in Wright’s case) the players listed New York icons, but superb baseball players as well. PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES: Mike Schmidt, Robin Roberts, Steve Carlton, Ryan Howard. NOTES: I listed the first three pretty quickly. Schmidt is the best all-around third baseman of all time. Roberts was a sixtime 20-game winner. Carlton was a four-time Cy Young winner. But then I got stuck. You could probably choose between any of the ‘Big Three’ of Howard, Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley and have a solid selection. WASHINGTON NATIONALS: Vladimir Guerrero, Andre Dawson, Tim Raines, Gary Carter. NOTES: The Nationals have a number of players right now that could potentially break onto this list, notably Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper, but for now, this list is all Expos. Carter, Dawson and Raines all played together for a very good Expos team while Vlad was the superstar of the franchise in the late 90s. CHICAGO CUBS: Ernie Banks, Sammy Sosa, Ron Santo, Ryne Sandburg. NOTES: The biggest omission here is defi nitely Cap Anson, but Anson played from 1876-1897,
Tim Lincecum’s unique look and impressive skills were enough to make the San Francisco Giants’ Mount Rushmore. (AP Photo)
so if you can picture his face, more power to you. Banks redefi ned the shortstop position while Sosa helped revitalize the league after the 1994 players’ strike. I was tempted to put Steve Bartman and/or the goat on the Cubs’ Mt. Rushmore. CINCINNATI REDS: Pete Rose, Barry Larkin, Johnny Bench, Frank Robinson. NOTES: Say what you want about Rose, but there’s no denying he’s one of the best hitters to ever live. The other three are all Hall of Famers with Bench being widely regarded as the best catcher of all time. Larkin was often overshadowed in his career, but was a great player. MILWUAKEE BREWERS: Ryan Braun, Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, Cecil Cooper. NOTES: Yount and Molitor were no-brainers. They were cornerstones of the franchise and stand-up men. Braun has been one of the best players of the last 10 years, but he’s also disgraced himself like few others over that time
as well. Cooper had a long career for the Brew Crew. I’d like to think Ben Sheets would have been here without the injuries. PITTSBURGH PIRATES: Roberto Clemente, Honus Wagner, Willie Stargell, Andrew McCutchen. NOTES: Yes, McCutchen is only 27 and there have been better players come through the organization (Paul Waner, for one), but when you have the charisma, talent and recognizable face that ‘Cutch has, -you’re going to make the list. Oh, those other three guys were pretty good, too. ST. LOUIS CARDINALS: Stan Musial, Ozzie Smith, Bob Gibson, Mark McGwire. NOTES: Both Stan Musial and Bob Gibson are on a short list of players that I wish I could have seen play. They are two of the best players to ever put on a Major League uniform. Ozzie is one of the most popular players in franchise history and Big Mac made baseball fun again. ARIZONA DIA-
MONDBACKS: Luis Gonzalez, Randy Johnson, Brandon Webb, Curt Schilling. NOTES: Three pitchers on Arizona’s Mt. Rushmore is a unique situation, but all three guys were so good that I couldn’t leave them off. Gonzo, of course, reached immortality with his broken bat, walk-off single against Mariano Rivera to win the World Series in 2001. Of course, he also had some amazing statistical seasons in Arizona as well. COLORADO ROCKIES: Todd Helton, Larry Walker, Dante Bichette, Troy Tulowitzki. NOTES: Huh, no pitchers on the Rockies’ list. Shocking. While all of these guys benefited from playing their home games at Coors Field, they were all immensely talented. The first three helped make baseball popular in Denver while Tulo continues to be one of the best shortstops in baseball (when healthy). LOS ANGELES DODGERS: Sandy Koufax, Jackie Robinson, Duke Snider, Roy Campenella. NOTES: I really wanted to put the bespectacled Eric Gagne on here for his record streak of consecutive saves, but the Dodgers just have too rich a history. I couldn’t kick out these four guys for Gagne. I knew Campenella was good, but I always forget he won three N.L. MVP awards. SAN DIEGO PADRES: Tony Gwynn, Trevor Hoffman, Dave Winfield, Jake Peavy.
NOTES: The Padres have had a pretty sad history as I look back at things. Yes, these four players were great, but if I had to list a fi fth great Padres player, I’m not sure I could do it. Let’s just say there’s a reason the franchise doesn’t have any World Series titles. SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS: Barry Bonds, Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Tim Lincecum. NOTES: On the other end of the spectrum from San Diego is San Francisco. It’s an organization loaded with history and great players. Have there been better players than Lincecum (Mel Ott, perhaps)? Yes, there has. But, Lincecum wasn’t just the face of the franchise for a five-year span that included two World Series titles, he might just have been the face of baseball. For that, he makes the cut. So what do you think? Would you have done any teams differently? Do you have any other ideas for sports lists/ teams that you’d like to see me write about? Email me your thoughts and suggestions.

Environmental Conservation Officers. The findings of these investigations are used to improve New York's Hunter Education Course to ensure that the most common causes of accidents are addressed and emphasized during instruction. These declining statistics prove that New York has a safety-conscious generation of hunters, in great thanks to the committed efforts of more than 2,500 volunteer Sportsman Education Instructors. These trained instructors, who are certified by DEC, teach safe, responsible and ethical outdoor practices and the important role of hunters and trappers in conservation. All courses are offered free of charge. While hunting is safer than ever, accidents happen and it is important to remember that every hunting related shooting
incident is preventable. Many, if not all of these incidents could have been prevented, if only the shooter or victim had followed the primary rules of hunter safety to: • treat every firearm as if it were loaded; • keep your muzzle pointed in a safe direction; • identify your target and what lies beyond; • keep fi nger off the trigger until ready to fire; and • wear hunter orange. Governor Cuomo's NY Open for Fishing and Hunting Initiative is an effort to improve recreational activities for in-state and out-of-state sportsmen and sportswomen and to boost tourism opportunities throughout the state. This initiative includes the streamlining of Fishing and Hunting licensing and reducing license fees, improved ac-
cess for fishing at various sites across the state, and increasing hunting opportunities in various regions. In support of this initiative, Governor Cuomo this year has proposed the creation of 50 new land access projects, which will connect hunters, anglers, bird watchers and others who enjoy the outdoors to more than 380,000 acres of existing state and easement lands that have gone untapped until now. These 50 new access projects include building new boat launches, installing new hunting blinds and building new trails and parking areas. In addition, the Governor's budget includes $4 million to repair the state's fish hatcheries.

A Pe rsonal Injur y Law Fir m
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.

All SUNYAC teams in men's and women's swimming diving were announced following the completion of the 2014 championship meet Saturday in Buffalo. Five Blue Devil men and four Blue Devil women were chosen by virtue of their performances during the fourday meet. First-place finishers are assured a spot on the SUNYAC First Team. Secondand third-place finishers are named to the Second Team. The men's First Team choices include senior John Estanislau (East Longmeadow, Mass) and freshman Jeff Matter (East Aurora, N.Y.). Estanislau was named
winner of SUNYAC's James Fulton Award. The comeback was attained with a secondplace finish in the final event of the meet, the school-record setting 400-yard freestyle relay. The Blue Devils barely made the final; they had the eighthfastest preliminary time earlier Saturday. Estanislau and Clouthier posted No. 1 seed times during preliminaries Saturday morning. In the 100-yard freestyle, Estanislau, a senior, had a preliminary time of 46.51 seconds while senior Adrian Van Hall (Owego, N.Y.) was sixth fastest in 47.65 seconds. Estanislau finished third and Van Hall eighth, respectively, during finals Saturday night. Clouthier broke a school record in the 200-yard breast stroke with his 2:07.74 preliminary time Saturday. He replaced Mike Mitchell on the Blue Devil record board. Mitchell was clocked in 2:08.78 in 2011. Clouther lowered his school record even more at night with a first-place time of 2:07.28.. Fredonia State's other individual swimming finalist was senior Eric Jordan (Lancaster, N.Y.), whose preliminary time of 1:58.99 placed him fifth head-
ing into Saturday's final. Jordan trimmed additional time in the final to finish fifth in the event in 1:58.42. The Blue Devils' second-place 400 freestyle relay quartet consisted of Estanislau, sophomore Liam Jones (Buffalo, N.Y.), senior David Adamczak (Akron, N.Y.), and Van Hall. Their 3:08.05 was a new school record by two-hundredths of a second and was nearly 11 seconds faster than Fredonia State's Saturday morning qualifying time. It was Estanislau's final SUNYAC race and was the culmination of four strong seasons. The Fulton Award he received -- Fredonia State's first since 1988 -- is awarded annually to a senior male who received past All SUNYAC honors, showed improvement over four seasons, and excelled academically. Matter's winning 3-meter springboard diving score was 524.80 points. Freshman teammate Arron Carlson (LeRoy, N.Y.) finished fourth with 472.70 points, while sophomore Rafael Santiago (Middletown, N.Y.) finished eighth with 401.85. A fourth Blue Devil diver, freshman Jacob Storms (Owego), won the consolation final with 429.75 points.

Determined Devils Fall Short To Oswego
Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.
Fredonia State rallied twice, yet was unable to rally a third time, and fell to Oswego Lakers, 3-2, in the first round of the SUNYAC men's hockey tournament. Alex Perkins (St. Albert, Alberta) and Brian Doust (Calgary, Alberta) had the Fredonia State goals and Jeff Flagler (Owen Sound, Ont.) made 38 saves, including two breakaways. The loss ended the Blue Devils season at 7-13-6 while the Lakers, ranked No. 12 nationally, improved to 18-6-2 and advanced to a semifinal round game Saturday at Plattsburgh. Mike Montagna, Andrew Barton, and Matt Galati scored the Oswego goals. Galati's game-winner came at the

7:04 mark of the third period. Oswego goaltender Matt Zawadzki made 19 saves. Down 1-0 on Montagna's goal, the Blue Devils managed their first extended offfensive push during their first power-play chance of the game. Zawadzki turned aside one shot from close range. Another Blue Devil shot
deflected off the skate of an Oswego defender, or else it may have resulted in the tying goal. The Blue Devils went on their second power-play midway through the second period -- and it was a turning point at the time. Flagler stopped Oswego's Krystian Yorke on a breakaway on what could have been a short-handed goal by
the Lakers. That gave Fredonia State some momentum. The Blue Devils regrouped and evened the score at 1-1 when Perkins, skating from the right point across to the opposite faceoff circle, fired a shot short side through a screen at 9:56 of the second period.
Devils' heartbreaker, continued from page 31 NYAC semifinal round Friday at Platatsburgh. Down 27-24 at halftime, the No. 6 seed Blue Devils controlled the pace during the early part of the second half and opened a 45-38 lead -- their largest of the game -- on a jumper by freshman point guard Alexis Cheatham (Lockport, N.Y.) with 7:27 remaining. They still led by six, 50-44, with 4:29 left following a layup by sophomore forward Sabrina Macaulay (Newark, N.Y.) before the Blue Knights, seeded No. 3, began their comeback. Hebert completed her stellar college career with 17 points. She finishes as the Blue Devils' all-time leading scorer with 1,604 points. She also the school record for most points in a season with 538.

Cheatham added 12 points while Macaulay grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds against Geneseo's tall front line. Fredonia State's other 1,000-point scorer, Jaimie Warren (Lake View), had nine points in her final collegiate game. She completed her four seasons with 1,122 points, sixth highest in program history. She also finished with 749 rebounds, fourth all-time. The Blue Devils played down the stretch without starting guard Brittany LaForce (Weedsport, N.Y.), who left the game with an injury and did not return. In addition to Hebert and Warren, senior guard Alicia Mikowicz (Olean, N.Y.) was making her final appearance in a Blue Devil uniform.

Panthers ran out to a 14-4 lead. But an ankle injury to Pine Valley’s star forward Kayla Mansfield in the second quarter helped breathe new life into the Lady Wildcats. In quarters two and three, Sherman outscored Pine Valley, 23-14 to close the deficit to just a single point. The Lady Panthers righted the ship, aided by the return of Mansfield, just in time and closed with a solid fourth quarter. Mansfield finished the game with 10 points and 10 rebounds despite sitting nearly two quarters. That point total represented Pine Valley’s highest while Alex Bentham chipped in nine and Aaren Waterman was good for six more.

D’Agostini Lifts Sabres To 5-4 OT Win Over Buffalo By John Wawrow AP Sports Writer
Matt D'Agostini and the last-place Buffalo Sabres caught Zdeno Chara and the Atlantic Division-leading Boston Bruins by surprise Wednesday night. After squandering a 3-1 lead, the Sabres rallied for two goals in the span of 75 seconds to steal away a 5-4 overtime victory. D'Agostini sealed it by outracing a flat-footed Chara to a loose puck and scoring on a partial breakaway 22 seconds into the extra period. Forcing the turnover at the Bruins' blue line, D'Agostini managed to shift the puck from his forehand to his backhand and slip a shot in under Chad Johnson's pad. ''I could tell (Chara) didn't know I'd be coming up from behind him. I think he just thought he had time to go back and retrieve the puck,'' D'Agostini said. ''I heard their bench screaming. I tried a little sneak attack on him in there, so it was good that I got by him.'' Matt Moulson forced overtime by scoring with 53 seconds left in regulation. Brian Flynn had a goal and assist, while Tyler Myers and Zemgus Girgensons also scored for Buffalo. It was a big win for Sabres backup goalie Jhonas Enroth, who stopped 29 shots and snapped an 0-10-4 skid to improve to 2-12-5 this season. ''That felt very nice to get a win finally again,'' said Enroth, who also won for the first time in 12 home starts, dating to a 3-1 victory over Tampa Bay on April 14 of last season. ''I've had these kind of games

go against me, so it was nice to have one of these for me.'' Chara, Milan Lucic, Brad Marchand and Chris Kelly scored for the Bruins (37-16-5) in their first game after the NHL's two-week Olympic break. The Sabres (17-34-8) at least had the benefit of having opened the break with a 3-2 win over Carolina on Tuesday night. The Bruins had been off since a 7-2 win against Ottawa on Feb. 8, and featured five players - including Chara - still dealing with the effects of jetlag after competing at the Sochi Games. ''I thought offensively, I didn't mind our game,'' Bruins coach Claude Julien said. ''You score four goals, you should win those kind of games. But certainly, we were
definitely rusty defensively.'' That was particularly the case on D'Agostini's goal. ''I think (Chara) was surprised,'' Julien said. ''But definitely we should have that puck.'' Boston is still 8-1-3 in its past 12, and hasn't lost in regulation in seven straight road games (4-0-3). The game featured several swings of momentum, with Buffalo building a 3-1 lead when Flynn scored 9:10 into the second period. The Bruins stormed back. Chara scored 2:25 later by stuffing in a rebound for a power-play goal during a scramble in front. Marchand then tied it at 3 with 2:14 left in the frame, and was set up by teammate Reilly Smith, who stripped the puck
from Buffalo forward-turned-defenseman John Scott in the right corner. Boston then appeared to take control when Lucic made it 4-3 by scoring a power-play goal with 10:17 left. The Sabres responded with Moulson's goal. With Enroth pulled for an extra attacker, Moulson got the puck in the right corner of the Bruins' end. In attempting to feed a pass to Drew Stafford in front, the puck hit off the skate of Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk. Moulson got to the loose puck and stuffed it in. ''It's tough to not get that feeling of, 'It's the Boston Bruins, they're back in the game now,''' D'Agostini said. ''But we kept playing. We defended. We got big saves from Jhonas, which was huge, and we ended up gutting one out.'' Enroth got the start a day after Ryan Miller made 36 saves and also added two assists against Carolina. Enroth, who returned to Buffalo on Monday, was backup to Sweden starter Henrik Lundqvist at Sochi. Buffalo won consecutive games for only the third time this season, and first since Dec. 17-19. NOTES: Sabres C Tyler Ennis did not play due to undisclosed soreness. ... By scoring the winner against Carolina with 44 seconds left, Christian Ehrhoff became the Sabres' first defenseman to score the go-ahead goal in the final minute of the third period. ... The Bruins went with Johnson, who stopped 21 shots. Johnson started in place of Tuukka Rask, who remained in Boston to refresh after returning from Sochi, where he helped Finland beat the United States for the bronze medal Saturday.
blue devils rallied back twice but unable to rally a third time, continued from page 32 It was his seventh goal of the season. Taylor Bourne (Calgary, Alberta) and Cory Melkert (Ottawa, Ont.) were credited with assists. Barton put Oswego back on top, 2-1, with a hard, rising shot as
he skated down the left wing. Doust then made it 2-2 at 19:19 of the second when he tapped in a rebound of a shot by Mitch Kaufmann (Red Deer, Alberta),. Kaufmann was free in the slot after taking a pass from below the goal line
from Stephen Castriota (Bellport, N.Y.). It was Doust's second goal of the season. Flagler made his second sprawling stop early in the third period after an Oswego forward got behind a
fallen Blue Devil defenseman. Then the Blue Devil nearly took the lead when a wide-angle shot by Andrew Christ (Spokane, Wash.) rebounded to a teammate, feathered a shot past Zawadzki, only to see the puck deflect off
the far post. Galati's goal came after he and his teammtes zig-zagged a series of passes through the Fredonia State defense. Flagler was unable to slide back across to cover the shot from
the left faceoff dot. With Flagler pulled for an extra attacker, a back-hander by Ryan Wilkinson (Calgary, Alberta) sailed over the top of the net. It was the last good chance the Blue Devils got.

game in each of the next two years. Ogrean also indicated Buffalo will be a prime contender to host numerous other events, including the 2018 World Junior Championships. The city had already been on USA Hockey's radar after the 2011 world juniors in Buffalo drew more than 330,000 fans, the tournament's largest turnout on U.S. soil. The NHL has also taken notice. Last month, Commissioner Gary Bettman told The Associated Press that, because of HarborCenter, the league is seriously considering the Sabres' pitch to relocate the NHL's annual pre-draft scouting combine from
Toronto to Buffalo. "Listen, it's an extraordinary investment in both Buffalo and hockey," said Bettman. "We have been extraordinarily fortunate to have Terry Pegula come in because, not only is he investing in the Sabres, he's investing in hockey, and he's investing in the community with HarborCenter." Though Detroit bills itself as "Hockeytown," Buffalo continues to hold firm as one of America's stronger hockey hotbeds. Buffalo has traditionally ranked as one of the nation's top-five TV viewing markets. The city's proximity to hockey-enamored Can-
ada, also serves as an ideal bridge to hockey. That was particularly evident three years ago, when tens of thousands of Canadians flocked to Buffalo to attend the 11-day world junior tournament. HarborCenter has the potential to further capitalize on that connection by luring teams from across the border to come and play, something not lost on Buffalo's business community. "We really are hitching our wagon to the powerhouse economy that is the Canadian market in Toronto, and hockey is one of these commonalities," Buffalo-Niagara Partnership President and CEO Dottie GallagherCohen said. "Other than beer, one of the big things that joins us is hockey. So anything that positions Buffalo as America's hockey capital reinforces the relationship we want to build with Canada. ... I believe the Pegula project is just more glue that will help connect those things." Aside from HarborCenter serving as the new home of Canisius College's Division
I hockey program, Koelmel anticipates the facility will host events — tournaments, seminars and clinics — on a year-round basis. "We talk about destination, development and impact. The destination itself will have a tremendous impact," Koelmel said. "We haven't been able to get people to come and stay, spend their money and spend their time. We're building this so they'll do more than drive by." HarborCenter's construction comes at a time when Buffalo is showing signs of a turnaround. The city is turning into a medical hub with a large research campus being built at the north end of downtown. And HarborCenter is going up around an area where work is already being done to restore parts of Erie Canal as a tourist attraction. "I don't have a catchphrase for it yet, but that's where I use 'All hockey paths will lead through Buffalo,'" Koelmel said. "I really think we have a chance to establish ourselves as a real hub in the hub-and-spokes world of hockey."
