National volunteer organization celebrates ‘Red Cross Month’ By Mallory Diefenbach Star News Writer

Ever since its inception in 1881, the Red Cross has been synonymous with relief. It’s goal is to prevent and relieve suffering, and over the 131 years it’s been around, it has aided millions of people. With all the help it has provided to those in need, it certainly deserves to have March as Red Cross Month. Just like other places in the United States, the Red Cross has played a major part in the Chautauqua County community. Recently, Bill Tucker was appointed director for the American Red Cross of Southwestern New York, replacing Vince Horrigan who retired on May 30, 2011. Previous to becoming director, Tucker was a citizen coordinator and a Red Cross instructor before that. After returning to Chautauqua County after 23 years of active service as a Marine Corps., Tucker was very aware of Red Cross services. “Throughout my military career, I was familiar with and very aware of the services that the Red Cross provides to our military members,” Tucker said. “Whether it’s part of our training, or while deployed oversees or on board ship, the Red Cross always served a very important link in communications with our families.” After returning to Chautauqua County after retiring, Tucker took his CPR certification and started to teach CPR and other classes for the

Red Cross due to the high importance skills such as CPR provide to

the community. The Red Cross provides many im-

portant services, but Tucker feels the best thing about the Red Cross is the community supporters. “The best thing about the Red Cross are the community supporters we have,” said Tucker. “And by that I mean all those who volunteer, and work to provide Red Cross services. All those who donate their blood, giving the gift of life to others in our community by giving that gift. And all those who support us financially.” Due to the Red Cross being a charity, it isn’t funded by the government, and all the services which are provided are made possible by communities of people across the nation. The vast majority of the services, 90 percent in fact, are made possible by volunteers. The Red Cross has played a major role in Chautauqua County, providing a vital component to emergency responses. One of the major responses which frequently require the Red Cross services is a single or multifamily house fire. The Red Cross responds within the first two hours of the incident and help them get back on their feet. The Red Cross has also responded to bigger emergencies, such as the 2009 Silver Creek and Gowanda floods in which hundreds were affected. In celebration of Red Cross Month, the Red Cross is selling tickets to Savor the Flavor: Taste of Chautauqua County which will take place on March 18 from noon to 3 p.m. at the Jamestown Savings Bank in the Ice Arena.

Movin’ On Up

Successful local business boasts exciting move, foresees growth in coming months Inside This Week

By Scott Wise Star News Editor

One thing that brings people to Chautauqua County, and keeps them here, are our great assortment of highly successful local businesses. But in a time when even small-town America is getting lost in the hustle and bustle, some still stand apart as great proponents of the hometown feel. One of those is the Lawley Tradition Insurance Agency in Dunkirk. With a background of three insurance carriers merging, the Tradition Agency was born in 1988. With a name change to Lawley Tradition in 1996, branch partner Wally Gotowka has seen nothing but growth year after year, a feat that ought not to go unnoticed. “There has never been a year that we haven’t grown,” said Gotowka. That growth is evident. If you take a cruise down Vineyard Drive in Dunkirk, you can’t miss Lawley’s new location- the old Blockbuster building. The Lawley Tradition Agency was previously located on East Main Street in Downtown Fredonia, but the team was excited and ready for the big move. “We’ve been looking to move for about three years,” said Gotowka. “It was a big decision to leave downtown. We love it there. But with this new location, we were able to start from scratch and configure it the way we wanted” One way that the new location has

been ‘configured’ is with the ‘greener’ ideals in mind. “Our new office is paperless and energy efficient,” said Gotowka. “Everything is fully automated. We don’t keep any paper files- it’s all backed up digitally. Our lights are low impact and energy efficient. Our building and windows are fully insulated so heating and air conditioning are more efficient.” With their new and efficient location, growth is a natural occurrence that Gotowka and his team are expecting and excited about. But fret not; their small-town feel is not leaving. “We are a very large, regional insurer- but we still have that small

community touch,” said Gotowka. “All our employees are integrated into the community. We live and work with our clients. It’s important that everyone in our firm is involved in organizations. They’re all very active in the community. When people come in, they already know us.” Lawley Tradition Agency offers a variety of insurance and employee benefits. They provide consumer coverage like Auto and Homeowners, but also sell health insurance, pension plans, group insurance and workers compensation insurance. “We are extremely competitive,” said Gotowka. “We advertise, but mainly we are word of mouth. We compete directly with the Geicos of this world.

We have so many different markets; it’s a rarity that someone comes in that we can’t help.” As most in real estate are aware, location is everything. With this move, Gotowka’s vision for the future hasn’t changed- merely accelerated. “Our vision is to double the size of our agency in the next five years,” he said. “I envision that we will be adding staff very soon, as well as into the future. It’s an aggressive goal, but definitely something that we can achieve.” For more information on the Lawley Tradition Agency, or if you’re interested in switching insurance carriers, visit www.lawleyinsurance.com, or call 716-672-2193.

‘Happy Purim’

Pat Phil

Commentary

I recently listened to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaking in Washington regarding the threat of annihilation his country faces

if Iran is left to continue its nuclear program. What surprised me was that he told the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee to remember a girl named Esther. Old Testament observers will recognize Esther as the adopted Persian queen who was used to save the Jewish people from certain obliteration. The reference in Netanyahu’s speech, although to a pro-Israel lobby group, at first seems a bit out of place since he was outside of his own country and in front of the international press. A further review, however, reveals Netanyahu’s remarks were especially poignant to the situation now at hand.

I will never let my people live in the shadow of annihilation. We have waited for diplomacy to work, we have waited for sanctions to work. We cannot afford to wait much longer.” Harkening back to Israel’s victories over its enemies, Netanyahu delivered a spirited “Happy Purim,” to his audience, another reference to the festive Jewish holiday that celebrates the deliverance of the Jews from their enemies in the biblical Book of Esther. At this juncture, it doesn’t appear that Netanyahu needs permission from anyone to do what he knows must be done.

In the Old Testament version of events, an order is given by an advisor to the Persian king to destroy all the Jews. Revealing herself as a Hebrew to her husband, Esther is given authority by Ahasuerus, the king, to issue another edit in an attempt to save his wife. This new edit gave the Jews permission to arm and defend themselves from attacks, which they do with resounding success. “Let’s hear it again for Esther.” Netanyahu repeated the comment as if he were waiting for the permission of his audience and the United States to provide a similar order to allow Israel to defend itself. “As prime minister of Israel,

Sincerely, Bill Tucker Chapter Executive Officer American Red Cross of Southwestern New York

Joining the Mission Editor: Chautauqua Star March is Red Cross Month, a time when we recognize the work done by the American Red Cross in our communities throughout southwestern New York, across the country and around the globe. It is also a time for us appreciate the tremendous local support provided by our communities and residents, and to remind ourselves how much we depend on public support to help people in need. Thanks to support from individuals, organizations and businesses here in southwestern New York, the American Red Cross is able to respond to disasters both large and

small; help members of the military, veterans and their families; provide blood for those in need; and teach lifesaving skills. We want to thank those whose generosity enables us to continue our work, both here at home and around the world. You can help by making a donation, becoming a volunteer, taking a class, or giving blood. The Red Cross responds to nearly 70,000 disasters a year in this country, providing shelter, food, emotional support and other necessities to those affected. We provide 24-hour support to members of the military, veterans and their families, collect and distribute more than 40 percent

of the nation’s blood supply and train more than 9 million people in first aid, water safety and other life-saving skills every year. Last year the Southwestern New York Chapter responded to 100 local emergencies, assisted 63 military families and trained 13,443 people in lifesaving skills. In addition, people from southwestern New York donated 14,230 units of blood at Red Cross blood drives. As a chartered chapter fully integrated into regional, state, and national Red Cross response operations, volunteers from your local Chapter also provided essential support to disaster relief efforts throughout New York State and the nation.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month Contributed Article Chautauqua County Health Department

The Cancer Services Program of Chautauqua County urges everyone to “Go Blue” for Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month this March. Towns across New York are raising awareness about this preventable cancer by turning their Main Streets Blue and hosting colorectal cancer screening events throughout March. Colorectal cancer - cancer that begins in the colon or rectum - is one of the most common cancers among New Yorkers. It is estimated that one in 20 people will develop colorectal cancer during their lifetime. “Each year in New York State, more than 10,000 people develop cancer of the colon and rectum, and nearly 3,500 New Yorkers die from this disease,” says Public Health Director Christine Schuyler. However, a large number of New Yorkers are still not aware of their risk and

many are not being screened at recommended intervals. Colorectal cancer often can be prevented. Regular screening can find precancerous polyps so they can be removed before they turn into cancer. All men and women age 50 and older get screened for colorectal cancer. “Although this disease can occur at any age, most people who develop colorectal cancer are over age 50. In addition, people with a personal or family history of colon polyps (abnormal growths in the colon or rectum) or colon cancer, or a personal history of inflammatory bowel disease, are at higher risk for developing colorectal cancer. People at higher risk for colorectal cancer may need earlier or more frequent tests than other people; these individuals should talk to their doctor about when to begin screening and how often they should be tested,” says Christine Schuyler. The New York State Department of Health’s Cancer Services Program Partnerships offer colorectal cancer

screening to eligible uninsured women and men in every NYS county and New York City borough. Twelve of these partnerships are working with local businesses to kick off the Main Streets Go Blue campaign on National Dress in Blue Day, March 2nd, by lighting their main streets blue to promote awareness and hosting screening events for men and women 50 and older who do not have health insurance. To find a CSP Partnership near you, or to learn more about Colorectal Cancer Awareness month events in your area, call at 1-866-442-CANCER (2262) or visit www.health.ny.gov/ diseases/cancer/services/ partnerships/ . Additional information about colorectal cancer can be found at the Department’s website www. nyhealth.gov/statistics/cancer/ registry/abouts/colorectal.htm or at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s website at: www.cdc.gov/cancer/ colorectal/

Dunkirk Man Finds Treasure Hunt Medallion

Contributed Article Mayville/Chautauqua Chamber of COmmerce

Douglas Hamernik of Dunkirk, New York, was the winner of the Medallion Treasure Hunt, an event that is held in conjunction with the annual President’s Day Weekend Winter Festival. The medallion was hidden at Lake Erie State Park on a playground under a platform located there. Although he missed the deadline for the treasure hunt registration, he decided to go ahead and still look for the medallion anyway, as new rules this year allowed for a lesser prize to be awarded to the winner even if he or she was not registered. Mr. Hamernik was awarded the $125.00 cash prize by James Barrett, the Assistant Vice President and Manager of Northwest Savings Bank, Mayville, New York, at the festival on Saturday, February 18th.

Red Cross Calls for Hometown Hero Nominations Contirbuted Article American Red Cross of SNY

The Southwestern N.Y. Chapter of the American Red Cross is requesting nominations for this year’s Hometown Hero celebration.

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pet of the Week

This week we are featuring “Missy”. She is a 12 year old terrier mix that was brought to CCHS because her owner could not care for her any more. She is very sweet and makes a great lap dog. Missy weighs in at 26 pounds, which is a little bit more than she should, so walking with her new family will help her. She qualifies for our Senior 4 Senior program so a senior citizen that would like to adopt her can at a reduced rate. She is spayed, microchipped and has all her shots. Just look into her eyes and you can see how full of love she is. If you think Missy would be a great addition to your family, stop in at the Adoption Center on Strunk Road and meet her. Great things do come in small packages.

Maple Weekend How Sweet It Is

‘New York Maple Weekend’ Set For March 17-18, 24-25 by Patricia Pihl Star News Writer

It’s March and that means maple syrup season in Western New York. The sweet harbinger of spring will be celebrated during the seventeenth annual New York Maple Weekend, March 17-18 and March 24-25, as producers locally and across the state open their doors to give the public a peek at their maple syrup production, host recreational and education activities and provide samples of the delicious, distinctive taste of authentic maple products. Locally, the Maple Producers Association of the Chautauqua Region (MPACR) will kick off activities on March 8 at Clear Creek Farm in Mayville with a ceremonial tree tapping event to promote the maple industry in Chautauqua County and the upcoming Maple Weekend. The first Maple Sunday started in Wyoming County in the mid 1990s. Since then, the goal has remained the same -

to give the public a first hand opportunity to see how maple products are produced, from tree to table, along with the chance to taste and purchase. “We let the kids do a little hands on, hanging the bucket, and pounding the spout in,” says Paul Lesefske of Gowanda’s Maple Glen Sugar House, one of the largest maple producers in the area. The hands-on approach and educational demonstrations of syrup-making have proven popular, with more than 1,000 visitors coming to the Maple Glen for each of the two maple weekends. Along with tours, visitors may also view tree tapping demonstrations, receive free samples and enjoy horsedrawn carriage rides along the sugar bush trails. The Maple Glen Sugar House is one of a dozen maple producers in Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Erie County participating in the event. According to New York State Maple Producers, 564,000 gallons of maple syrup were

manufactured last year in New York State, the highest production rate in 64 years. Lesefske explains that while some of the trees are taped on his five acres near the sugar house, the majority of the sap is gathered from 100 acres of leased woods and transported to his operation in a 4,000 gallon tanker truck. “The raw sap is processed through a reverse osmosis machine, and then the concentrate enters our evaporator where the final water is removed and turned into syrup.”

While not every producer has a reverse osmosis machine, Lesefske says, it has the benefit of saving both time and fuel costs. The machine also uses a UV light, which the syrup passes through to kill bacteria. Once off of the evaporator, the syrup is run through a filter press to remove all the sugar sand, giving it its distinctive, clear look. Not all sugar houses have such sophisticated methods, but whether it’s simply boiling the sap over an open fire or running it through highly

scientific equipment, according to producers, the result is always the same - great taste. Fans of maple syrup also recognize the various colors - light, medium and dark - of their topping of choice. Although there are exceptions, Lesefske says syrup color is determined by when it is made; lighter color indicating production earlier in the season. By contrast, deeper amber grades, usually indicate later production and a more intense maple flavor. According to Lesefske, the warmer weather did not affect production amounts this year. One of the warmest winters on record, 1981, he said was a banner year and last year, was their best year ever. “We usually tap the second week in February, this week we tapped the first week... I hope we are making syrup until the end of March. “You just don’t know with the weather patterns. Typically, he says, the season is over when “you start to see 50 or 60 degree temperatures (during the day) and you are not in the 20 degree range at

night.” It is at that point, he says,“the trees start to bud and heal themselves and the season is nearing an end.” With large anticipated maple weekend crowds, the Maple Glen will also have its “maple trailer” on hand,” an educational tool exhibiting a small scale evaporator and maple syrup process. The trailer is also a “store on wheels,” selling maple syrup, candy, cream, pancake mixes, and other maple products. Lesefske’s father Franklin says another weekend favorite is the “sugar on snow,” or hot dogs boiled in maple syrup, with over 100 pounds of hot dogs typically sold in one weekend. Hours for maple weekend are 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. and admission is free to all sugar houses. For more information on the event, participating producers and pancake breakfast locations, interested persons should visit www. mapleweekend.com.

Flavor of the Week – Sullivan’s Charbroil By Dusten Rader Entertainment Editor

For many Chautauqua County residents a sign that Spring will soon arrive is when ice cream shops and grills finally open for the season. On February 23, 2012 Fredonia’s Sullivan’s Charbroil once again opened its doors to the public. Owners Alice and Jim Karalia are now ready to serve up some delicious meals. So, for massive proportions at a reasonable price stop by and enjoy a family friendly meal. Established in 1972 by Alice’s father Terry Sullivan, the charbroil has been a summer staple for many locals lookSullivan’s Charbroil is hard to miss while driving along Route 20.

This season brings a very special celebration for Sullivan’s because it is both the 40 year anniversary of the establishment and it is also the 25 year anniversary of the Karalia’s ownership. “I’m proud to be able to tell my father about how the busi- Zweigle hotdogs and homemade curly fries.

so customers can come in and be served promptly. Some quick meals include burgers, hotdogs, tenders and sandwiches. According to Alice she only uses Zweigles hotdogs because they are the best in the country. Plus, the burgers served at Sullivan’s are made specially for them and cannot be found anywhere else. For newcomers Alice recommends trying the Sully Burger which is a quarter pound cheeseburger topped with lettuce, tomato and mayo. The menu also features a variety of other fish and seafood options. There is a fried haddock special every day for $6.50 that includes two five ounce pieces of haddock, french fries, roll and salad or coleslaw. There are also baskets including shrimp and clams. Alice’s husband Jim is selective about the freshness of produce and he also tries to buy everything he can locally. The potatoes used for the fresh ground curly fries are an example of something that is bought locally. Jim also has things on the menu that he makes homemade. The chili is his secret family recipe that is listed on the menu as “Jimmy’s Hot Homemade Best in the World Chili”. It’s got kidney beans, meat and a tomato base. According to Alice, customers love getting cheese, hot sauce and chili on their hotdogs, burgers or fries. After filling up on good food guests can try out a delicious dessert. Sullivan’s has a large ice cream selection including hard ice cream from Hershey’s and soft serve from Upstate Farms. The dessert menu features milkshakes, cones, sundaes and banana splits.

There are also two specialty treats called banana bucket and straw-bana. Another very popular item is the arctic swirls that are a large cup filled with soft serve and crushed candy swirled in. Sullivan’s has become such an important part of the community that a facebook page was started by employee and SUNY Fredonia student Ingo Hutzenlaub called Sullivan’s Charbroil Appreciation Society. News is posted to the group and members are able to have conversations about their favorite parts of Sullivan’s. “It’s really cool that Ingo set that up because people write about their favorite items and that they were having withdrawals from not being able to eat here,” said Alice. “It’s really nice to read what people have been saying because they have been wonderful.” The Sullivan family tradition has created an amazing institution that the entire community has grown to love. The place is perfect for families and friends to gather around a table and enjoy a good meal while treated with appreciation by the staff. “Sullivan’s is a family owned business and it is also family oriented.” said Alice. “So, I love to see little kids in here enjoying the food and ice cream.” Sullivan’s Charbroil is located at 3590 East Main Road in Fredonia and is open from 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m seven days a week. As the season changes from Winter, to Spring and to Summer the hours will begin to be extended to 9 p.m. then to 10 p.m. Sullivan’s Charbroil only accepts cash or checks.

and add baking powder and flour. After stirring let sit in fridge for a few hours. Form the mixture into balls and place in frying pan with olive

oil. Fry until golden brown on the outside. Mix bulgur, 1 tbsp. olive oil and boiling water in a bowl and let stand covered for 15 minutes. Strain excess liquid then mix in the remainder of the ingredients. Bring water to a boil and add green beans. When green beans are soft strain water and place in baking dish.

Tickets For Chautauqua’s Amphitheater Concert Series On Sale Now Contributed Article Chautauqua Institution

This summer, Chautauqua Institution offers a lineup of popular entertainment designed for music lovers of every generation, featuring the best in rock ‘n’ roll, country, jazz and classical music. Artists confirmed for the 2012 season include worldrenowned jazz singer Diana Krall, four-time Grammy winner k.d. lang, country superstar Vince Gill, a capella sensation Straight No Chaser and the legendary voice of Supertramp, Roger Hodgson. Single tickets for the 2012 Chautauqua Amphitheater concert series went on sale Monday, March 5. The summer kicks off Saturday, June 23, with Under the Streetlamp, one of America’s hottest new vocal groups, presenting an evening of classic hits from the American radio songbook. These recent leading cast members of the Tony-winning musical “The Jersey Boys” deliver the best of Doo-Wop, Motown, and old-time rock ‘n’ roll. Watch

for the group’s first televised concert premiering this month on PBS. Jazz pianist and singer Diana Krall—set to perform at Chautauqua Friday, July 6—has become the toast of the international jazz scene since the release of her 1993 debut album Steppin’ Out. The Grammy-winning artist is known for her relaxed and intimate singing style through her interpretation of jazz standards, original works with husband Elvis Costello and her 2009 bossa nova album Quiet Nights. The nation’s finest young musicians are in the spotlight on Friday, July 20, as the Chautauqua Amphitheater becomes the site for a live taping of National Public Radio’s “From The Top.” Hosted by Christopher O’Riley, the program shares the stories and performances of pre-collegiate musicians ages 8 to 18 with millions each week and is broadcast on more than 200 stations around the United States. Four-time Grammy Award winner k.d. lang, who helped

define the alt-country music scene in the late 1980s, brings her unique blend of country-rock styling and playfully punk-like attitude to the Chautauqua stage on Friday, Aug. 10. Over the years she has expanded her celebrated singing style to pop, jazz and Brazilian, collaborating with Roy Orbison, Tony Bennett, Elton John, Anne Murray and Bonnie Raitt, among others. Returning to Chautauqua on Friday, Aug. 17 is one of the most successful artists in the history of country music. Singer, songwriter, producer and TV host Vince Gill has sold more than 26 million albums worldwide and was recently received his 41st career Grammy nomination. Straight No Chaser’s performance was widely consid-

ered one of the highlights of the 2011 concert series at Chautauqua, and the male a cappella ensemble is thrilled to return to the amphitheater this summer on Friday, Aug. 24. The group was originally formed over a dozen years ago while students together at Indiana University. Since then, the ensemble has reemerged as a phenomenon with a massive fan base, more than 25 million views on YouTube, numerous national TV appearances and sold-out concerts across the country. Roger Hodgson, the legendary voice of Supertramp and composer of most of the band’s greatest hits, including “Give a Little Bit,” “Take the Long Way Home” and “Breakfast in America,” closes Chautauqua’s concert series on Saturday,

Aug. 25. This is Hodgson’s first solo U.S. tour in 30 years. Other Friday night concerts scheduled for the 2012 Season include The Righteous Brothers’ Bill Medley and Gary Puckett and the Union Gap on Friday, June 29; Peter Yarrow and Noel Paul Stookey Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Peter, Paul and Mary on Friday, July 27; and The Temptations and The Four Tops on Friday, Aug. 3. The concert for Friday, July 13, has yet to be announced. Every summer, Chautauqua Institution also provides free and discounted programming in the amphitheater designed to give greater access to the community at large. Two evening concerts each week are designated Community Appreciation Nights with a single ticket price of $18. These evenings, which represent a cross- section of the Institution’s programming, include performances by the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra, the Music School Festival Orchestra, popular entertainers in a variety of musical genres, and family entertainment.

Sundays are always free at Chautauqua, including admission to the grounds and an afternoon musical performance in the amphitheater. Sunday concerts this summer include the U.S. Army Field Band & Soldiers’ Chorus and the Brass Band of the Western Reserve. Popular entertainment concerts in Chautauqua’s amphitheater fill on a firstcome (festival seating) basis. Guaranteed floor seating is available for select events for an additional $15 fee. To learn more about the 2012 Chautauqua Season, including morning and afternoon lectures, theater and opera performances, and concerts by the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra, please visit www. ciweb.org.

Seamus Kennedy to Headline St. Patrick’s Day Concert at Opera House

By Rick Davis

Contributing Writer

Seamus Kennedy, one of Ireland’s most entertaining exports, will headline a special St. Patrick’s Day concert at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House on Saturday, Mar. 17, at 8 p.m. Kennedy is a singer, songwriter, musician, comedian, author and all-around entertainer. He has a huge repertoire that includes traditional Irish music, classic Country & Western, American standards and Scottish ballads. Originally from Belfast, Northern Ireland, he has been entertaining audiences all over the United States for nearly four decades. An accomplished guitarist with a ready wit and a vast store of songs, he travels from Alaska to Florida, Maryland to California, performing for audiences that range from popes and presidents to bartenders and brick-layers. In concert or at a festival, in pub or club, in colleges or high schools, Kennedy has the repertoire and the ability to make folks forget their cares for a while, to relax and enjoy themselves. When he plays a lively Irish jig or reel, he often will coax someone to jump up and dance to the music, much to the delight – and often amazement – of their friends. He encourages the crowd to sing along to silly lyrics and daft ditties or act out the choruses of children’s songs. His audience participation songs and tongue-twisters have amused

the ablest of participants and the nimblest of tongues. His endless supply of ribtickling jokes, stories and oneliners can leave an audience breathless from laughing so hard. Many a crowd has gone home from one of his shows giggling to one another, “do you remember the one about ...?” But the Irish have their serious side too, and when Kennedy performs one of the more somber ballads such as Tommy Sands’ “There Were Roses” or Pete St. John’s “Dublin in the Rare Old Times,” you can hear a pin drop as the words sink

in. Kennedy’s greatest musical influences have been the Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem, the Dubliners’ Luke Kelly and the Irish Rovers; so it is no surprise to find many of the songs they made famous, such as “The Wild Colonial Boy,” “The Wild Rover,” or “The Black Velvet Band,” in his performance. Joining Kennedy will be Opera House favorites, dancers from Clann Na Cara Irish Dance. Clann Na Cara was established as a western New York Irish dance school in 2006 by four National and World Champion medalists. Prior to

receiving their dance teacher certifications, all four founders were regular performers at the Opera House during St. Patrick’s Day celebration events. In addition, each has led dancers in performances with such notable artists as The Chieftains, Cherish the Ladies and Natalie MacMaster. The students at Clann Na Cara range in age from 4 to 21 and include numerous preliminary and national championship dancers. Tickets to Seamus Kennedy are $15 ($13 for Opera House members) and may be purchased in person at the Opera House Box Office or by phone at 716-679-1891, Tuesday through Friday, 1-5 p.m. They also may be purchased online any time at www.fredopera. org. This performance is part of the Folk in Fredonia Music Series, which is graciously sponsored by The Gilman Family. It also is made possible, in part, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency, and the United Arts Appeal of Chautauqua County. Chautauqua County’s only performing arts center presenting its own programming year-round, the 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a membersupported not-for-profit organization located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia. A complete schedule of events is available at www.fredopera. org.

Imagine the thrill the students will have seeing Don Giovanni live at the Met!” In total, the groups will be working directly with approximately 4,000 school age students. Each individual tour was organized to a great extent by School of Music faculty, who reached out to middle and high schools across New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio trying to develop a plan that would simultaneously address four main objectives: to advance the School of Music’s reputation, build alumni relations, expand and improve recruitment, and to give our own students a positive experience. The tour model includes varying components, each of which addresses a specific goal, including visits to public schools to give handson demonstrations and clinics to students, free evening performances in the communities we visit, special Alumni performances and gatherings (such as the Torch Club at NYU), and opportunities for our students, such as the Chamber Choir attending a performance of Don Giovanni at The Met.

Business Council Pushes for Tier VI Pension System

The Business Council of New York State has launched an eadvocacy campaign to support Governor Cuomo’s Tier VI Pension plan. Heather Bricetti, Business Council President, said “New York has one of the highest pension burdens in the nation, and it’s about to get worse. Our current pension system is already unsustainable, and the generational surge in retirees will mean that our younger population will be forced to carry the fiscal burden.” Governor Cuomo has outlined a plan that would implement a new defined benefits system for the future workforce, but would not affect current employees. It would also provide an opportunity for new employees to

enroll in a 401K-style retirement account. If a new Tier VI is not adopted, New York taxpayers could be exposed to $123-billion more in taxes. Given the limited options municipalities have to obtain revenue, the majority of the funding would likely come in the form of property taxes. The Business Council estimates that the local Tier VI savings outside of New York City is $49-billion. Businesses pay about 35-percent of local property taxes. Without a Tier VI, New York’s businesses could face a $17.15-billion increase in property taxes. To make your voice heard in favor of the Tier VI pension plan, visit http://fixnys.org.

Rotary Club of Jamestown Learns About Dog Training Services Contributed Article Rotary Club of Jamestown

Andrea DiMaio, certified dog trainer and canine behavior specialist, discussed her business, DOG SPEAKS, a dog training service located in Ashville. Ms. DiMaio describes her business as training people more than training dogs. She concentrates on building positive relationships between the dog and its owner. The key to training a dog is to make the owner interesting to the dog, and that is done by creating a trusted relationship between the animal and its owner. The owner-dog relationship must be based on positive discipline, not based on fear and intimidation.

She says that exercise is very important to the owner-dog relationship, as a tired dog is a good dog. The appropriate exercise for a dog matches the interests and abilities of that particular breed of dog. Also, socialization is essential to the development of a dog and there is a specific time period during which training to promote socialization and proof against aggression can be accomplished. Ms. DiMaio holds classes that coincide with

the proper ages of dogs during which training is most effective. She will also work with owners in their homes. Andrea DiMaio was trained at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and has been a master Groomer for fourteen years and a certified trainer for ten years. She also teaches continuing education classes at Jamestown Community College. Visit www. andreadimaiodogtraining.com for more information.

St. Patrick:

A look at the Patron Saint of Ireland Contributed Article Shirley (Hilburger) Stratton

St. Patrick of Ireland is one of the world’s most popular saints. Along with St. Nicholas and St. Valentine, the world loves St. Patrick. On March 17 everyone is Irish! And on that day more babies are named Patrick and Patricia than on any other day of the year! Patrick was born in Scotland around the year 387 and died in Ireland on March 17, 461. As a youth of sixteen, Patrick was captured by a raiding party and taken to Ireland as a slave to herd swine. Ireland at the time was a land of Druids and pa-

gans. He learned the language and practices of the people who held him. Lonely and afraid in this strange country, Patrick turned to God for solace. He wrote, “The love of God and His fear grew in me more and more, and my faith grew, and my spirit was stirred up so that in a single day, I said as many as a hundred prayers and in the night, nearly as many. I prayed in the woods and the mountains, even before dawn. I felt no hurt from the snow or ice or rain, because my spirit was fervent within.” After more than six years as a prisoner, Patrick escaped. According to his writing, a

voice which he believed to be God’s, spoke to him in a dream telling him it was time to leave Ireland.To do so, Patrick walked nearly 200 miles from County Mayo, where it is believed he was held, to the Irish coast. There a ship was waiting as the dream showed him. After escaping to Britain, Patrick reported that he experienced a second revelation. He had another dream in which the people of Ireland were calling out to him: “We beg you, holy youth, to come and walk among us once more.” Soon after, Patrick began religious training, a course of study that lasted more than

fifteen years. After his ordination as a priest, and later as a bishop, Patrick was sent to take

the Gospel to Ireland. Familiar with the Irish language and culture, Patrick chose to incorporate traditional ritual into his lessons of Christianity instead of attempting to eradicate native Irish beliefs. For instance, he used bonfires to celebrate Easter since the Irish were used to honoring their gods with fire. He also superimposed a sun, a powerful Irish symbol, onto the Christian cross to create what is now called a Celtic cross, so that veneration of the symbol would seem more natural to the Irish. Patrick used the shamrock to explain the Trinity and the symbol has been associated with the Irish

ever since then. Patrick preached the Gospel throughout Ireland. Kings, their families and entire kingdoms converted to Christianity upon hearing Patrick’s message. Patrick preached and converted through out all of Ireland for 40 years. He faced many hardships and opponents, worked tirelessly and wrote of his love and gratitude for God in his book titled Confessions. Shirley (Hilburger) Stratton grew up in Angola, NY and attended Most Precious Blood Church where the priests and nuns first introduced their love of the saints to her.

dots or dimensional adhesive to add even more height, but I didn’t think it was necessary, given that the overall project has plenty of detail and visual interest. When the page insert is placed fully inside of the pocket, the flowers on the right side frame the outer photo. The colors coordinate with the “O” behind the acrylic on the previous page as well as the pinks and yellows in the girls’ dresses. It’s dramatic, vivid and youthful, just like the intended recipient. Duplicating a single element on a layout makes a powerful impact on scrapbook pages. Though colorful flowers exploding all over might not be right for every page, the principle of repetition can bring excitement and energy to your projects. I never expected that an impulsive venture into a shop or an advertisement in a cooking magazine would be my muse, but I’m glad that getting distracted by a bold and sassy handbag ultimately led to a new concept to try on my

pages. Hopefully, I’ll be able to justify more errands near small, artistic boutiques. This week’s pick: A notepad, a camera and/or your smartphone. When out and about, if something strikes your fancy it’s important to document what inspires you. If I hadn’t snapped the photo in the store, this idea might be laying in the dustbin of my synapses. Not all owners appreciate cameras in their place of business, however, so please be sure to check before taking pictures of the merchandise. Writing it down the old-fashioned way, right away, is often a better way to go. Anne Walterich is the owner of Sunset Scrapbooks, a photo preservation and album design service.

Scrapbooking Today By Anne Walterich Contributing Writer

I never know what will inspire me to create a scrapbook layout. Usually I take my cues from the story I want to tell, the colors in the photos or the ephemera I want to include. Less often, a new product or the shape of the page determine the direction it ultimately takes. This time, it was a purse. I happened to be in East Aurora running an errand and stopped into Head Over Heels In Love With Shoes, a women’s clothing, footwear and accessory boutique on Main Street. I’ll admit that the quirky black-and-white polka-dot exterior caught my attention and immediately, irresistibly drew me into its high-heeled doors. I was deliriously browsing the purses when saw a gorgeous bag studded with multicolored flowers. In leather. As a vegetarian, I would never

carry anything made from a dead cow, no matter how beautiful it is. Yet I was still attracted to the design and three-dimensional texture of it. I snapped a picture, knowing that I needed to create a layout that contained the same concept: a 3-D floral pattern, repeated all over. Later that evening, I was reading a magazine and came across a faucet advertisement with bright teals, pinks and yellows. The fun, energetic, happy colors made me realize exactly the direction I wanted to go in for my next project. This chipboard word album is for my friend Howard. It’s an interactive name book, with pocket pages, custom acrylic inserts and hidden journaling. The first step for this page was to cover the foundation pocket with Liquitex Gel Medium and a bright blue sheet of tissue paper, using a plastic squeegee to smooth out any wrinkles and a craft knife to remove the excess. Then I went into my box of paper scraps and adhered contrasting

pieces back-to-back to create double-sided papers. While those were drying, I adhered a larger multicolored scrap to the “W” chipboard insert and punched small hearts for the trim. The photos of his adorable granddaughters goofing around came next, with one on the pocket page and one on the “W.” I used an EK Success

“Retro Flower” and Fiskars 1/2” circle punch on the nowdry double-sided scraps, added brads and curled some of the petals. Finally, some glue lines and double-sided tape to fasten the flowers and hearts finished the page in all of its bright, floral glory. I could have used 3-D foam

Keeping the Faith

Dear Pastor, how can I share about Christ at my workplace?

By Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church of Chautauqua County

Jesus said something in Matthew 10:16 that I believe will help answer your question.

He said “…therefore, be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.” This scripture suggests then, that we should use wisdom and sensitivity when sharing the Good News while at work. Before we share our faith, however, we need to make sure that our work habits are in order. As I mentioned in last weeks column, we must work for our employer as if we work for Jesus (Ephesians 6:5-8). If our work habits are bad, it will

make the Gospel we share look bad. We must also remember that our employer is paying us to work, not to preach. Unfortunately, some Christians have been preaching when they should been working and have earned criticism for themselves and the Gospel. A good “rule of thumb” is to share your faith when you’re on a break, or “off the clock”. If you’re serious about sharing your faith, this shouldn’t be a problem. If you get an opportunity while working and you feel spiritu-

ally duty-bound to share, by all means do it! Just make sure that you continue to work while you are sharing your faith. Many employers won’t care what you talk about…as long as you keep working while you are doing it! Another important thing to remember is that we must be sensitive to our co-workers’ openness to hearing about Jesus. Not everyone is prepared to hear the Good News. We may offend the very ones that

we are trying to reach! Never force the Gospel on anyone. If folks aren’t open, we shouldn’t push. Jesus called this “casting your pearls before swine” (Matthew 7:6). If we aren’t “wise as serpents” in this area, we can produce strife with our co-workers and get in trouble with our boss. Instead, pray and ask God that your coworkers hearts would be open to hear the Gospel and that He will provide an opportunity to share. Your co-workers may even come and ask you about

your beliefs! So, if you maintain an excellent work ethic, understand your employer’s expectations, and are sensitive to the opportunities that the Holy Spirit gives you, you’ll be able to wisely share about Christ. Then they, too, will be able to share the freedom and blessings that come from salvation through Jesus Christ!

our redemption. Redemption will remain dormant until you give it a voice. You must say, “I am redeemed!” Your redemption must be settled in your mind and you must speak it. You must say, “I am redeemed from sin, I am redeemed from sickness, I am redeemed from depression, I am redeemed from poverty.” Redemption does not live on a roulette wheel waiting to land on your number. Redemption lives with purpose from the voice of God’s believing children. Jesus said in John 8:36, “If the Son therefore shall make you free you shall be free indeed.” If

you are Born Again, then you are free. Colossians 1:13 says, “Who (God) has deliverED us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.” Deliverance is a past tense fact for every believer. Believers can’t get any more delivered than they already are. They can only say so with greater persistence. Dare to say, “I am free now. Jesus has set me free.” Don’t get caught thinking you must have something more to be free. God cannot give you more than what He already has given you.

Weekly Word Freedom from Captivity

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church of the Southern Tier

The greatest captivity is a wrong mentality. People are captives in life because they are first a captive in their mind. They think wrong therefore they live wrong. They think defeated therefore they live defeated. I am reminded

of Proverbs 23:7, “As a man thinks in his mind, so is he…” If your life is the hull of a ship then your mind is the sails. Whatever is in your mind is going to be the driving force of life. God knows that. The devil knows that. Do you know that? Jesus Christ was sent to a Jewish nation who was oppressed by a wicked Roman empire. The Jews sought a great political warrior, in the likeness of King David, who would deliver them from their national captivity. God didn’t send them a political savior. He sent them a substitute for their sins. You see, God was sending a remedy

for the true source of their oppression. The harsh political rule of the Romans was only a symptom of their true spiritual captivity. God was telling them, and He is now telling us, the reason why people are captives to circumstances is because they are captives mentally and spiritually. More than likely, if you are held in bondage to a crushing set of circumstances without the hope of being free, it’s because you have failed to develop a victorious spiritual mentality. The circumstances are typically just a symptom of a greater problem. Here is where so many

Christians are failing: They are waiting to get free when they should know they already are free. People are waiting for God to do something, but He already did do something. I am not waiting to be delivered. I am delivered now. I am not hoping to be free from anything. I am free now. Psalm 107:2 says, “Let the redeemed of the Lord SAY so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the enemy.” This is the problem: We are waiting for God to do something. But God is waiting for us to believe what He has already done. He is waiting for us to give voice to

Hoop Dreams And Nightmares

Jamestown, Silver Creek lose heartbreaking finals; Panama wins Class D By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

Three championships. Three games each school won’t soon forget — for all completely different reasons. At one end of the spectrum, it is the glorious run of the Panama Panthers, who won the Class D Sectional championship last Friday night and will play for the right to go to Glens Falls this Saturday at Buffalo State. It’s the school’s first sectional championship in 41 years. On the other side, there is Silver Creek, who calmly stuck around with one of the area’s best teams, OTC Middle, but lost 58-57 when Zeddie Williams’s jumper at the buzzer rimmed out. But then, there’s what happened to Jamestown, which might not be measurable on the pain-o-meter. It was the tear-your-heart out, how did that happen feeling that you wouldn’t wish upon on pro athletes, let alone high school kids. The Red Raiders were in complete control of a third straight Class AA championship after sophomore forward Quinn Lee Yaw took a nice pass from Kevin Diaz to give the Red Raiders a double-digit lead, 42-31, with 6:50 left in the game. But, Niagara Falls took a timeout after the bucket and began to chip into the lead. What ensued was a 17-5 run to end the game that ended with leader Tommy Campion missing a three-pointer at the buzzer that would have tied the game. “It was probably the most gutwrenching loss I’ve ever had as a coach,” Jamestown head coach Ben Drake said. Campion slumped over and fell to the ground in obvious agony, but it’s impossible to argue Jamestown would have been anywhere near that game had it not been for Campion all season long. Jamestown’s lead was two when freshman Zach Panebianco — who had such a marvelous tournament — stepped to the line with a chance to give Jamestown a twopossession lead with 34.5 seconds remaining in the game.

Panebianco missed on the front end of a one-and-one and Taijay Williams hit the go-ahead threepointer with 13 seconds left in the game. After a steal and a pair of free throws from Williams, Drake drew up the final play, which came mere inches from falling. Anyhow, the loss ended Jamestown’s season at 18-3 and sent Niagara Falls to the Far West Regionals, which will be played at Buff State this weekend. For Panama they overcame a nightmare second quarter and sixpoint halftime deficit against rival Clymer 48-46 to win in nail-biting fashion last Friday at Jamestown Community College. Again, it was Nick Lenart and his determined classmates that sent the Panthers to their first state playoff game in 41 years. Lenart had a game-high 20 points and kept Panama in it early when the Panthers couldn’t seem to get in the swing of things. But it was fellow senior Zach Lubi who got the Panthers going when trailing by five midway through the fourth quarter. Lubi hit back-to-back three pointers to give Panama a lead they would not relinquish. Now, Panama will play against the winner of DeSales (Geneva) and Notre Dame (Batavia) who played late Tuesday night at the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester to determine the Section V Class D champ. The winner of that game will square off against Panama at Buffalo State Saturday night with the winner of that game heading to the state semifinals held in Glens Falls, N.Y. Silver Creek had a chance to play advance to the Far West Regionals as well Tuesday night when they played OTC Middle College (Buffalo) for the Class C Championship. The Black Knights trailed by three at halftime and saw themselves down by 10 early in the third quarter as the No. 3 team in the state looked like they were ready to pull away. Top: The Silver Creek basketball team walks off the court after Zeddie Williams But, Zeddie Williams wouldn’t let potential game-winning jumper rimmed in and out, causing the Black Knights that happen. to lose 58-57.

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

PHILADELPHIA — No. 16 St. Bonaventure (29-3) climbed out of a 22-point hole to take a one-point lead with 2:16 to go, but Dayton (236) sank free throws a minute later and hung on for a 56-53 win in the finals of the 2012 Buick Atlantic 10 Women's Basketball Championship. The Bonnies started the game a paltry 1-for-7 from the field, enduring a seven-minute stretch without a field goal, while turning the ball over 10 times in the first 12 minutes. The Flyers capitalized, building a 27-5 lead with 7:20 left in the half. The margin was the largest by any Bona opponent this season, but SBU mounted a 16-0 scoring rally that eventually came up just short. Sophomore Doris Ortega booked game highs of 18 points and 12 rebounds to power the rally and SBU clamped down — holding UD scoreless for an 11:14 span that bridged the halftime gap — to fight back into the game. SBU kept it within 10 for much of the second half, finally breaking through after Jessica Jenkins' 3-pointer with 4:57 to play. Jenkins' 103 triples this season broke the program record, a mark the Marion,

Ohio native set herself least season. Trailing by eight, 50-42, with 4:57 to play, Jenkins' final trifecta of the night sparked a frenetic 9-0 run. Ortega knocked down a pair from the charity stripe and Megan Van Tatenhove a jumper, all before Alaina Walker was fouled and hit both free throw attempts to give Bona its first lead of the game at 51-50. Dayton's Patrice Lalor drew a foul in the lane with just 73 seconds to play and stepped to the line, where

she converted for two of her 11 points, giving UD a lead that was just enough to end the Bonnies' 18-game win streak. Dayton's Justine Raterman led the Flyers to their first A-10 title with 13 points and eight rebounds. St. Bonaventure, which moved up to No. 16 in the most recent AP poll, will learn Monday if it will receive at at-large berth into its first-ever NCAA Championship.

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — St. Bonaventure's Andrew Nicholson has been named the Atlantic 10 Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year, the league office announced Monday. Nicholson embarked on an unprecedented run down the stretch of the Atlantic 10 schedule, averaging 25.3 points and 11.5 rebounds over the final eight conference games to help SBU secure the No. 4 seed and a bye in the Atlantic 10 Championship at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall. The senior also earned his second consecutive First Team All-Conference and All-Defensive Team plaudits. He became the first player ever in the Atlantic 10 to earn four straight Player of the Week awards, putting the finishing touches on a regular season that included his 2,000th career point, seven double-doubles, the first 20-

long-range shooting, Jenkins has established career highs in rebounds, field goals made and free throws made this season. The 5-foot-8 guard has started 95 consecutive games — the eighth-longest streak among active players in the country — and her 93 3-pointers this season are 28 more than anyone in the A-10 and fifth-most in the nation. Additionally, the marketing major leads the league in free-throw shooting at 96.7 percent (59-61) and was a perfect 38-38 from the line in conference games. A certified personal trainer, Jenkins leads the Brown and White in minutes played at 31.6, which is an average of nearly five minutes more than anyone else on the roster. A mainstay in the Bonaventure lineup since stepping foot on campus, Jenkins has played in all 129 games in her career. That total tops the A-10 among seniors, with redshirts excluded. Jenkins broke the A-10 career 3-point record earlier this year (was 291), and has hit

exactly eight 3's in a game this season three times. For her career, Jenkins has hit five or more 3-pointers in a contest 24 times — with 23 of those coming since the beginning of her sophomore year — representing the most of any player in the nation. While a definite threat from beyond the arc, Jenkins has diversified her scoring game since her freshman year. Her percentage of total points scored which come from beyond the 3-point line has decreased every year since her initial campaign, and this season it's at an all-time low of 67 percent. However, Jenkins has still increased both her points per game average and 3-pointers per game average each season. The Naismith Trophy will be awarded on April 1 at the NCAA Women's Final Four in Denver. More information will be given in the coming weeks, but fan voting will account for 25 percent of all final results — more than any other national college basketball award.

After finding senior guard John Jimerson for a layup, Williams then took a pass from Jimerson and scored to get within two. To cap off the quarter, Williams scored again with a close-range jumper off the glass to take the lead. He scored eight of the team’s 16 points — and his own 16 points — in the quarter and an upset loomed. Silver Creek got the lead to 47-44 before things got real interesting. Four straight from OTC gave the Kats the lead. Then two teams traded buckets — and leads — before Jimerson drained a clutch three-pointer off a second-chance rebound from Williams to

Win Or Go Home, Literally Chautauqua Striders To Hose Third Annual St. Patrick’s Dash

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

Late Sunday night, word finally came that Canisius College had fired men’s head basketball coach Tom Parrotta. Parrotta, who was in sixth year, led Canisius to a 5-25 record in 2011-12 and was just 64-121 overall. this But to me, what it signified is just how important winor ning is in Division I college st basketball. e I had the pleasure of covering g of a few Canisius games during re- the 2010-11 season and is yer where I came in contact with Parrotta. m At the time, the fifth year s head coach seemed to finally me have it all figured out. While er his teams had struggled mightily in his previous four years, his team had just s knocked off archrival Niagara and his squad was looking his as though they could finish w of with a .500 record in Metro ns Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) play for the first nd time in his tenure — and ge nearly a decade for the program itself. In that the postgame press he conference — my first inr teraction with Parrotta — it on was nearly impossible not to g like the head coach. He was beaming with confidence ll after a nice win. His players ny shook the hands of all media et- members and thanked them for coming out. His son Michael (not more than 10 years old) sat on point guard Gaby Belardo’s lap as if the two were closest of brothers. Meanwhile, his seniors Julius Coles and Elton Frazier spoke about how great it was for themselves and their coach to finally be winning. It was one big happy family. It was something that made you nd look at from the outside and say, “this is exactly what college athletics should be about.” Not to mention Parrotta had all of his players graduating. He even made national headlines for having all five members of the 2011 senior class earn their degrees in just three years, and were each working on a master’s degree an in their respective fourth years on campus. - But of course, until then, they weren’t winning. et That 10-11 season came to a disappointing end for Canisius. The senior class finished 15-15 and lost in the MAAC gh quarterfinals. Stunningly, s, that group went out with four ws- straight losses in the MAAC 5. quarterfinals, never even coming with sniffing distance of the NCAA Tournament. With hardly any returning experience on this year’s squad and three players ) Emerson 54-‐51 sitting out due to NCAA ) Roy-‐Hart transfer rules, Canisius was one of the worst teams in the (5) Akron 57-‐41 country and won all of one (12) JFK MAAC game, while losing 18 (including postseason). ) Fredonia won 71-‐67 thwestern Of course, Parrotta’s 100 per-

cent graduation record (for players that didn’t transfer out of Canisius) didn’t mean anything. His stellar reputation for being an all-around good guy with an incredible sense of family didn’t either. What did matter was the fact Canisius was 30-78 in MAAC play in six years. He never once reached the semifinals. “Our goal is to compete for the MAAC Championship and we have not made sufficient progress toward that goal,” athletic director Bill Maher said in a statement. While it’s nearly impossible to blame Maher for moving in a different direction, it comes as a harsh reminder that winning actually is everything. If this were a Division III program, Parrotta would be well regarded as doing all the right things. Since it’s Division I, he’ll be remembered as nothing more than a guy with a lousy winning percentage. Sure, Canisius isn’t on the level of Syracuse or Duke, and getting to the MAAC semifinals shouldn’t be too much to ask for. Beating the likes of Fairfield, Rider or Loyola once every half-decade isn’t an impossible task. But that’s just life in major college basketball. Win or go home. It’s an example of just how much bigger college basketball is than college itself. It’s exactly why Stony Brook — among countless others — decide to jump into Division I basketball. The Seawolves from Long Island jumped to D1 in 2000. If you can believe it, their arena is actually smaller than Canisius’ Koessler Athletic Center. But, come Saturday morning, the Seawolves will have a free two-hour marketing campaign about the merits of Stony Brook University when they play for the America East Conference Championship game on ESPN at 11 a.m. If the Seawolves are fortunate to beat Vermont in that game, they’ll go to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history. They’ll probably make more in apparel revenue than in the combined 10 years of being a Division I school. Anything from sweaters to hats with “Stony Brook 2012 America East Champs” stitched on will fly off the shelves. Meanwhile, the highlights of that game will be shown on ESPN all day. The highlights and ensuing interviews about their seeding and opponent will completely dominate local sports — and even news — media for the next week. Then, their fans and alumni will travel somewhere across the country to see them play against a school like Kentucky. Will they win? Of course not, but everybody in the country will know they exist. People will know they’re the Seawolves from Stony Brook, N.Y. They’ll be televised nationally on CBS. The amount of money the program — and school — makes in those few days will easily be the highest gross in such a short period of time that anybody associated with that school has ever seen before. That, my friends, is what Division I basketball is all about.

Hamlin, team soar in Phoenix

Sharing the spotlight

2012 Daytona 500 winner Matt Kenseth (right) appears last week on The Tonight Show with host Jay Leno. (NASCAR photo)

His victories often overshadowed, Kenseth takes it in stride

t seems that throughout his NASCAR career, Matt Kenseth’s accomplishments have a way of getting overshadowed by other events. In 2000, his rookie year in the series now known as Sprint Cup, he won the Coca-Cola 600 and rookie of the year honors, but most of the attention that year went to the driver who finished second in the rookie standings, one Dale Earnhardt Jr. Kenseth’s 2003 Cup championship is remembered more than anything for the way he won it – by dominating the points race for much of the season – and for what it brought about – the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Then Kenseth’s second Daytona 500 triumph had to share the headlines with the rain, which led to the first-ever postponement of the Daytona 500 and the first-ever Monday night race broadcast in prime-time, a spectacular jet dryer fire and Danica Patrick’s Sprint Cup debut. Kenseth, who worked in a teleconference with the media around an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and other stops on a whirlwind media blitz, said he wasn’t surprised that his big night was somewhat overshadowed by other events. “It seems like it goes like that quite a bit for me,” he said. “I’m not really in it for the recognition or credit or any of that stuff anyway.” It is surprising to Kenseth and others in the performance-based environment of NASCAR that despite his solid credentials, on top of a clean-cut image, he does not have full sponsorship for this season. He has impressive longterm numbers, 22 Cup wins and 26 more in the Nationwide Series, and just last year he won three races and finished fourth in the Cup standings.

Matt Kenseth signs autographs for fans on Thursday in San Francisco, Calif. (NASCAR photo) Still, he’s without sponsorship for more than half of the scheduled races this season. “I think they have about 15 races sponsored,” he said of the sales staff at his Roush Fenway Racing team. “They still have some inventory they’re trying to sell. They give me some updates, but other than that I let the sales department do their thing, [and] I try to do our thing from a performance standpoint.” He also said that even if he was more flashy, it might not make any difference. “We could all dissect my personality or my looks or what I say, what I do, don’t say, don’t do,” he said. “But you can look at the opposite end of the spectrum. You can look at 20-yearold Trevor Bayne, who won the [2011] Daytona 500. Everybody was doing back flips because he won the Daytona 500. They can’t get a sponsorship for him in Nationwide or Cup either.”

Bayne does have backing from Ford for a limited Cup schedule in the Wood Brothers Ford. The sponsorship shortcoming could be mostly a factor of the economy. Another of Kenseth’s teammates, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., won the Nationwide championship last year but is struggling for backing this year. And Roush has parked its one-time flagship No. 6 Ford because it isn’t sponsored. Kenseth pointed out that for most of his career, sponsorship hasn’t been an issue, and he said that for now he doesn’t see any need to try to remold his image. “Maybe there’s something I’m not doing right or saying right or whatever,” he said. “But I’ve been in the sport for quite a while. I’ve always just tried to be myself and never really change for anybody. “I don’t think that’s really been a bad thing. I’m pretty much a face-value guy.”

Penske announces switch from Dodge to Ford Roger Penske and officials from Ford Motor Company held a teleconference last week to answer questions about Penske’s decision to switch his NASCAR teams from Dodge to Ford beginning next season. But when the call was concluded, there were still a lot more questions than answers about the new arrangement. Will Penske’s teams continue to build their own engines, or will they use the Roush Yates engines that the Ford-backed teams now run? Penske, who raced Fords in NASCAR from 1995 through 2002, indicated that he’d likely start out by continuing to build engines in-house and see how his powerplants stack up against those from Roush Yates. “This is something that we’ll take a good look at,” Penske said. “But what I like about it is we’ll be able to benchmark our capabilities at Penske Engines versus the best in the business at Roush Yates.” There also are lingering questions about whether the funding from Ford that is headed to Penske will be new money or part of the manufacturer’s current spending, which would seem to mean reduced funding for existing Ford teams. Then there’s the question of how Dodge will react to losing its main representative in NASCAR, a question that could be answered this week, as Dodge is scheduled to unveil its 2013 Sprint Cup Charger at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. One key factor is that Dodge needs a partner that has engine-building capabilities, and there are few of them left in NASCAR. One candidate would seem to be Richard Petty Motorsports, since Richard Petty had some of his best years in NASCAR driving Dodges and was a part of Dodge’s return to NASCAR back in 2001. But it no longer builds its own engines. The Petty team, which now runs Fords, said in a statement that “We have a partnership with Roush

Fenway Racing and we are happy to be a part of the Ford Racing program. As we always do, we will evaluate all of our options and make decisions based on what is ultimately best for our race team.” Dodge’s response to the Penske announcement came from Ralph Gilles, president and CEO of SRT Brand and Motorsports, who said, “Our motorsports involvement isn’t limited to NASCAR. We do value our NASCAR program and will be evaluating the opportunities available moving forward. As those opportunities materialize, we’ll reveal our 2013 plans, not only in NASCAR but in other forms of motorsports.” What is clear is that Penske’s move can be interpreted as another sign of consolidation of resources in NASCAR. Roger Penske (NASCAR photo) He pointed out that he was influenced by the positive results that have come from technical alliances like Stewart-Haas Racing with Hendrick Motorsports and Joe Gibbs Racing with Michael Waltrip Racing. Beginning next year, Penske, who has had to go it alone technologically as the lone Dodge-backed team in NASCAR, can tap into the resources of Roush Fenway Racing, Richard Petty Motorsports and Wood Brothers Racing. “Having that additional technical information flow through the process as Ford has outlined it to us, I think, was very important to us,” he said.

Denny Hamlin’s victory in the Subway Fresh Fit 500 at Phoenix International Raceway gave him a measure of redemption at the same track where his 2010 championship bid was derailed by a fuel-mileage finish that saw him lose a race he’d dominated, when he had to stop for fuel and eventual champion Jimmie Johnson didn’t. And it was a big win for his crew chief Darian Grubb, who was fired by Stewart-Haas Racing even as he led Stewart to the Cup title. But both Grubb and Hamlin took the high road in their post-race interviews. “I guess you could say it is a little bit of vindication, but I really don’t think that way,” Grubb said. “I feel like I came into a very good situation. [Former crew chief] Mike Ford built one heck of a team here with the 11 car, and the FedEx Toyota is obviously really strong, Joe Gibbs’ organization is very strong.” Hamlin, who also took the points lead after a free fall, points-wise, at the end of last year, said the fact that the defending champion crew chief chose him was a big boost in itself. “When he has faith in me that he feels like he can win a championship with me, after all the choices he had in the off-season, that gives me a lot of confidence,” Hamlin said, adding that he expects the winning to continue as he and Grubb get to know each other even better. “It’s still going to build,” he said. “I honestly feel like it’s going to be realistically two Denny Hamlin months before we’re (NASCAR photo) totally clicking and knowing exactly what each other is saying and talking about. “So to have success early tells me that we’ve obviously got a good pairing here.” Hamlin also appears to have worked on his racing focus during the off-season, a stretch that saw him spend time in the Phoenix area working on his golf game and other non-racing activities. “That’s what I needed to improve myself, and I was just as weak a link as anyone last year within our program,” he said. “What I needed to do to make myself better is what I did, and that was just get away and not even think about racing for a while. “But when it came time to get to the race track, my focus is solely on winning races and winning a championship, and I’ll do anything it takes to do that. It’s just my way of doing things. It’s what I needed to do to improve my driving and my focus.”

Sadler has 1st big win since ‘04 For the second straight week, a Nationwide Series regular prevailed in a field that included numerous Sprint Cup competitors. A week after James Buescher won at Daytona, Elliott Sadler went out and won the Bashas’ Supermarkets 200 at Phoenix International Raceway. It was his first major NASCAR win since a Cup race at Auto Club Speedway in September of 2004 and his first Nationwide victory since the fall of 1998 at Rockingham. His victory, coupled with his third-place finish at Daytona, gave him the Nationwide points lead by 10 over his Richard Childress Racing teammate Austin Dillon. “It’s a very emotional win,” Sadler said. “We all know how long it’s been since I was in Victory Lane. Luke Lambert, my crew chief, made a great call at the end to change left-sides only, and it definitely panned out the way we wanted it to.”

JAMESTOWN, N.Y. — John Smith and Ryan Urso scored third period goals to help Jamestown earn a point, but another slipped away as they fell 3-2 in overtime against the Michigan Warriors. The teams traded chances in the early part of the first period and Michigan eventually capitalized on a bouncing puck on the side of the Ironmen net. James Kline managed to get his stick on the puck and it bounced off Ironmen goalie Joey Ballmer to give the Warriors a 1-0 lead near the midway part of the first period. Jamestown had a couple of chances late in the period including what appeared to be a sure goal by Nick Bingaman. Bingaman appeared to have Warriors goalie Brach Tiller beat with a backhand but Tiller stretched his leg out

and left Bingaman shaking his head in disgust. Michigan extended their lead in the second period on a goal by Brad Pizzey. Pizzey was parked in front of the Jamestown net and received a nice pass from Joseph Ferriss to give the Warriors a two-goal lead. The game remained 2-0 until near the midway point of the third period when Jon Smith scored his fourth of the season. Bryan Watt stole the puck along the boards and fed a pass to Smith who had an open net to cut the lead in half. Jamestown tied the score just minutes later as Ryan Urso deflected a shot from Watt that beat an unsuspecting Tiller. Tiller seemed to have an easy save on the Watt shot until it deflected off of Urso’s stick for his first NAHL goal. Both teams had chances in the overtime but Chris Eckler scored the winner on a screen

shot from the left point that found the back of the net. Friday, though, was as tough to swallow as they dropped a 3-2 decision to the Michigan on a last second goal by Robert Mantha. The Ironmen actually struck first on a pretty goal by Luc Gerdes. Gerdes skated through center and beat the Warriors defenseman before scoring his fourth of the season on a backhander that slid by Warriors goalie Brach Tiller. Jamestown had an opportunity to add to their lead later in the period when Chris Eckler took a penalty for slashing that gave Jamestown the first power play of the game. Instead it was the Warriors that would tie the game on a shorthanded goal by James Kline. Kline beat the defenseman and wisely waited for Joey Ballmer to commit before lifting the puck under the crossbar.

By Paul Newberry Associated Press

The revelations were shocking and appalling to those outside the NFL: A team paid bounties to knock opponents out of the game, including some of its biggest stars. For those who play in the league, however, it sounds more like the long-accepted cost of doing business in a brutal sport, a dirty little secret that nobody talked about. Atlanta Falcons star Roddy White calls it a “league thing'' that goes far beyond the New Orleans Saints, the team the NFL said maintained a bounty pool in the last three seasons. Shawne Merriman of the Buffalo Bills wondered what all the fuss was about, having long maintained he was targeted and sustaining a career-altering injury. Former guard Alan Faneca said he wasn't surprised at all that a sordid system had finally been exposed. “It's a violent game we play. Whether people want to think about it or not, part of the game is to exert physical dominance over your opponent,'' Faneca, who retired after the 2010 season, told The Associated Press on Saturday. “If it results in a guy not finishing the game, then that's what happened in the course of playing the game.'' Former NFL player Matt

New Orleans Case Puts Scrutiny On NFL Bounty Pay

Bowen was the bluntest one of all. “Bounties, cheap shots, whatever you want to call them, they are a part of this game,'' Bowen wrote Saturday in a column in the Chicago Tribune newspaper. The NFL said Friday that Saints players and at least one assistant coach maintained a bounty pool of up to $50,000 to reward game-ending injuries inflicted on opposing players, including star quarterbacks Brett Favre and Kurt Warner. “Knockouts'' were worth $1,500 and “cart-offs'' $1,000, with payments doubled or tripled for the playoffs. According to the NFL, the pool amounts reached their height in 2009, the year the Saints won the Super Bowl. The investigation by the NFL's security department delivered a blow to a league that has placed increased emphasis on safety, especially concerning concussions and dirty hits. But as objectionable as many find the activity, is it a crime? There was no immediate sign that prosecutors would investigate. The NFL has yet to hand out punishments, which could include suspensions, fines and loss of draft picks. The Internal Revenue Service may view bounties as extra income that wasn't reported on tax returns. Asked whether there is a

culture of “bounties'' that goes beyond the Saints, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said: “If we find other violations of league rules, we will take action.'' He declined to comment on whether other teams are being investigated. If the news stunned NFL fans, it didn't evoke the same reaction among seasoned players. “It's a league thing, but it's about to end because of the Saints story,'' White tweeted Saturday.

McIlroy Wins Honda And Becomes Golf’s New No. 1 By Doug Ferguson

He also posted, “I got my own bounty on the Saints defense I want to kill them every year.'' The Falcons have a bitter rivalry with the Saints that dates to the 1960s, when they entered the league a year apart as expansion teams. They have long been in the same division, facing each other twice a season. When one of White's Twitter followers asked if he knew how much the Saints might've paid to knock him out of a game, he replied, “At

par both times. The 22-year-old from Northern Ireland finally played it safe at the end, making par on the last hole for a 1-under 69 that was meaningful in so many ways. It made him the 16th player to be No. 1 in the world, and the second-youngest behind Woods, who was 21 when he first reached No. 1 after the 1997 U.S. Open. It was his fifth career win, three of those on the PGA Tour, which includes his record-setting performance last year at Congressional to win the U.S. Open, and a 62 in the final round to win at Quail Hollow. And he won despite Woods, that red shirt brighter than it has been in two years, posting a score that McIlroy didn’t think possible in such blustery conditions Sunday. Lee Westwood, whom McIlroy beat in the semifinals of the Match Play Championship a week earlier in Arizona, closed with a 63. Even in such strong company, this day belonged to golf ’s new No. 1. “It was always a dream of

least a million dollars.'' Merriman, a three-time Pro Bowl player, claims he was intentionally injured in 2007 while with the San Diego Chargers in retaliation for hitting Tennessee quarterback Vince Young after a handoff. Merriman hasn't been the same dominating player since the knee injury. “Why is this a big deal now? Bounties been going on forever,'' Merriman tweeted. Former Saints defense coordinator Gregg Williams apologized and admitted overseeing the sordid program, which involved between 22 and 27 defensive players and, according to the NFL, was carried out with the knowledge of head coach Sean Payton. “It was a terrible mistake, and we knew it was wrong while we were doing it,'' said Williams, who is now defensive coordinator of the St. Louis Rams. Bowen, who played strong safety in the NFL for seven years, said Williams had a similar bounty system during his tenure with the Washington Redskins. “Prices were set on Saturday nights in the team hotel,'' Bowen wrote in the Tribune. “In a makeshift meeting room, with the whisper of evening traffic pouring in from the Beltway, we laid our bounties on opposing players. We targeted big names, our sights set on taking

them out of the game.'' From Bowen's perspective, it was the price of doing business. “It's a fundamental part of the NFL's culture that isn't talked about outside of team facilities,'' he wrote. “I'm not saying it's right. Or ethical. But the NFL isn't little league football with neighborhood dads playing head coach. This is the business of winning. If that means stepping over some line, you do it.'' This isn't the first time the bounty business has surfaced in the NFL. In 1989, then-Dallas coach Jimmy Johnson claimed that his Philadelphia counterpart, Buddy Ryan, took out a bounty on two Cowboys players. The game became known as the “Bounty Bowl.'' Ryan's son, Rex, now coaches the New York Jets and said he has never ordered his players to take someone out. “I've never condoned it and I've never coached it,'' he said in a statement. Detroit Lions defensive end Lawrence Jackson took a similar stance. “In every locker room, it's posted clearly: No exceptions to the rule on bounties for hurting people,'' he said at a sports conference in Boston on Saturday. “I just don't believe it's right, on a human level.''

NY Mets Owe Up To $83M To Madoff Trustee By Larry Neumeister Associated Press

Associated Press

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Rory McIlroy, the new No. 1 player in golf, is not easily rattled. He didn’t see a scoreboard in the final round of the Honda Classic until he walked onto the eighth green, looked at the large video screen to his left and saw that Tiger Woods — who started the day nine shots behind — already was tied for fourth, four shots behind. McIlroy buried a 10-foot putt for his first birdie of the day. The pressure of trying to win and reach No. 1 in the world didn’t really hit him until he was lining up a putt on the 13th green at PGA National, his concentration shattered by a cheer that could be heard a mile away from the 18th green. It was so loud that McIlroy not only knew what it was for — an eagle on the 18th green — but who it was for. Tiger Woods. “I wasn’t really paying much attention until he made that eagle on 18,” McIlroy said. “I heard the huge roar. And it definitely wasn’t a birdie roar. That’s when I knew that he probably got to 10.” That would be 10-under par for Woods, courtesy of a 62, his lowest score ever in a final round in his 15 years on tour. The birdie-eagle finish, just like the Tiger Woods of old, pulled him within one shot of the lead. McIlroy still faced the scariest stretch of golf at PGA National, with water in play on every shot over the last four holes. What followed was a clutch performance worthy of the new No. 1. McIlroy made an 8-foot birdie putt on the 13th to restore a two-shot cushion. Standing some 65 feet away, in grass so deep he could barely see the golf ball, he gouged out a wedge to 4 feet for a par he badly needed to keep momentum. On the two par 3s over the water, Nos. 15 and 17, he splashed out of a bunker toward the water and saved

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Mets’ owners must pay up to $83 million to the trustee recovering money for Bernard Madoff investors, a judge said Monday, though he expressed doubt that the trustee will succeed in proving at a trial this month that he’s entitled to as much as $300 million more. U.S. District Judge Jed S. Rakoff issued his four-page ruling to narrow the subject of a March 19 trial in Manhattan that results from Trustee Irving Picard’s effort to force the club’s owners to pay as much as $1 billion into a fund established to repay thousands of investors cheated of billions of dollars during Madoff ’s decades-long fraud. Last year, Rakoff had ruled that the team’s owners wouldn’t owe more than $386 million to other Madoff mine to become the world No. investors.

likely after he hears more from lawyers on both sides. Rakoff rejected a request by lawyers for the Mets’ owners to say Picard was not entitled to more money, a ruling that would have eliminated the need for the trial. But he said he “remains skeptical that the trustee can ultimately rebut the defendants’ showing of good faith.” He said he was concerned that much of the evidence offered by both sides in court papers so far would not be admissible at trial. “Conclusions are no substitute for facts, and too much of what the parties characterized as bombshells proved to be nothing but bombast,” he wrote. Amanda Remus, a spokeswoman for Picard, said the trustee and his lawyers were aware of Rakoff ’s order and were reviewing it. The Mets did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The trustee previously sued the Mets’ owners, saying they had to know Madoff was acting illegally. Lawyers for the Mets’ owners have repeatedly said that their clients had no idea Madoff wasn’t investing their money as he said he was. Nearly 5,000 investors were deceived in the fraud by the former NASDAQ chairman, who told them their $20 billion investment had grown to $68 billion

by November 2008. Weeks later, he revealed his fraud, confessing that only several hundred million dollars were left. In his lawsuit, Picard said the Mets’ owners received $83.3 million in fictitious profits and $301 million in principal in the two years before a bankruptcy filing was made regarding the Madoff assets. Rakoff’s rulings limiting what Picard can collect have been encouraging to Mets co-owners Fred Wilpon and Saul Katz, who have said they were victims of Madoff’s fraud. The Mets announced last year that they were considering selling up to 25 percent of the franchise because of “uncertainty” caused by the lawsuit. Despite the upcoming trial, the tension surrounding the team over the Madoff issue seems to have relaxed. Wilpon said at an appearance in Port St Lucie, Fla. last week that the Mets’ owners plan to keep the franchise “for a very long time.” He cited a slashed payroll and an encouraging outlook in the courts. “When it started, there was a really big number out there and now — I’m not minimizing — but it’s a different number,” Wilpon said. Madoff is serving a 150-year prison sentence in North Carolina for his multibilliondollar fraud.

at 13:45 of the first period, in which the Jets held a 10-7 shots advantage. The Sabres swarmed the Jets' zone during two second-period power plays but couldn't connect. With 35 seconds left in the period, Tropp tied it with his second goal of the season — putting in a shot from a goal-mouth scramble. Wheeler made it 2-1 after he took a pass from Little near center ice, skated in alone

on Miller, and fired a high shot over the goalie's outstretched glove at 8:02 of the third. Wheeler has five goals and 15 points in eight games. Little, who had his first three-point game since Dec. 26, 2008, knew he was under a bit of pressure to get the puck to Wheeler as he broke free. "I know if I don't get it to him I'm going to hear about it for a while," Little said. "He

did a great job of finding that hole. I had to make the pass pretty quick because it was going to close up. He made no mistake. It was a great goal." Miller said he didn't see how the play developed. "I'm just watching the guys to see if there's any chance of danger," he said. "Obviously, I saw (Wheeler) coming for a while there. It's just one of those ones where I thought I had him set up pretty good and I felt it just right at the edge of my glove. "Just not probably enough on him taking away some space, and he made a nice play." Sabres coach Lindy Ruff wasn't impressed by Wheeler's effort. "We made a big mistake in the third and it was a pretty tight game," Ruff said. "To give Wheeler a breakaway at that time of the game was bad judgment on our part by our defense. We had one guy joining and slipped in behind our other defenseman." Thorburn put Winnipeg ahead by two goals at 10:54 when he skated around defenseman Robyn Regehr and slid a low shot under Miller, who is 6-1-1 in his past eight games.

Jenkins, Van Tatenhove, Walker And Crowley Honored By A-10 Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — On the coattails of a record-breaking regular season, a trio of St. Bonaventure women's basketball players were named to Atlantic 10 All-Conference teams on Wednesday, and Jim Crowley was named the league's Coach of the Year. Seniors Jessica Jenkins and Megan Van Tatenhove were chosen to the A-10 First Team and All-Academic Team, while junior Alaina Walker earned a spot on the All-Defensive Team. Jenkins and Van Tatenhove become just the third and fourth players in program history to land on the First Team, joining Hilary Waltman and Dana Mitchell, who rank No.1 and No. 2, respectively, on the program's all-time scoring list. Walker becomes the first player in program history to be named to the All-Defensive Team – an honor incepted by the A-10 for the 2001-02 season. It is the first time that St. Bonaventure has had more than one player on the First Team list, and also the first time that more than one player has earned a spot on the All-Academic Team. For Van Tatenhove, it is the second straight season she has been named to the All-Academic Team. It also marks the 10th time in his 12 years in charge of Bonaventure that Crowley has had a player earn All-Academic honors – the most of any school in the league over that period. "Being named to not only the First Team but also the All-Academic Team is a very special honor for both Meg and Jess, and one they have worked very hard for and are deserving of," Crowley said. "I'm also very happy for Alaina to receive the recognition she certainly deserves. She has been terrific defensively all

In leading the No. 19/22 Bonnies to a 27-2 record and perfect 14-0 mark in the A-10 for the first time in program history, Crowley was recognized by his peers in the league for his second Coach of the Year award in the last four years. Crowley won the award in 2008-09, and has led SBU to 20 or more wins in each of the last four seasons. Crowley guided Bona to the school's first regular-season title in any sport this year after being picked to finish sixth in the A-10 in preseason voting by fellow coaches. The Bonnies have set records for wins, road victories (13) and conference triumphs, and are currently riding a program-best 16-game winning streak. "The Coach of the Year honor is one that belongs to my staff and players," Crowley added. "The sacrifices and committed they have made to this program, and the work ethic they display on a daily basis is truly amazing. I am so thankful to have them here with me."

PHILADELPHIA — Andrew Nicholson scored his 2,000th career point and finished with 18 to go with nine rebounds in St. Bonaventure's 71-61 loss to La Salle on Saturday. The Bonnies (17-11, 10-6) secured the No. 4 seed in the Atlantic 10 Conference Championship and will play the winner of the No. 5 Saint Joseph's/No. 12 Charlotte matchup in the quarterfinals at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall at 2:30 p.m. on Friday, Mar. 9. The senior Mississauga native entered the game just six points shy and reached the milestone — with an assist from Jordan Gathers — while being fouled with 18:19 to play in the second half. He became the fifth player in school history to record 2,000 or more career points, joining Greg Sanders, Earl Belcher, Bob Lanier and Tom Stith. He completed the traditional three-point play with a free throw for his 2,001st tally in the Brown and White. His nine rebounds also moved him into fourth on the school's all-time list (850). Nicholson scored just four points in the first frame and La Salle (20-11, 9-7) took full advantage, building a lead as large as 16 after outscoring Bona 28-8 during a 10-minute span.

For Jenkins — the Bonnies' leading scorer at 14.3 points per game — the postseason awards are the first of her career. The Marion, Ohio, native currently owns the second-most career 3-pointers in the nation with 321, a total which ranks her 18th on the all-time NCAA list. In addition to her long-range shooting, Jenkins has established career highs in rebounds, field goals made and free throws made this season. The 5-foot-8 guard has started 95 consecutive games – the eighth-longest streak among active players in the country – and her 93 3-pointers this season are 28 more than anyone in the A-10 and fifth-most in the nation. Additionally, the marketing major leads the league in free-throw shooting at 96.7 percent (59-61) and was a perfect 38-38 from the line in conference games. Van Tatenhove, an A-10 Preseason First Team selection, is second on the Bona roster in scoring at 13.1 per game and paces the club in rebounding at six per outing. A Second Team All-Conference member last year, the forward

led Bonaventure in scoring during conference tilts at 14.6 per contest. Earlier this season, the Wisconsin product became just the ninth member of the school's 1,000 Point & 500 Rebound Club, and she currently ranks ninth on both the program's all-time rebounding (590) and scoring (1,377) lists. Injured throughout a portion of the nonconference schedule, Van Tatenhove increased her points per game average from 11.1 and rebounding average from 5.5 during the nonleague docket to their current states by leading the Bonnies in scoring five times in A-10 play and rebounding on four occasions. The citation for Walker is the first of her career and comes as the Bonnies lead the A-10 in scoring defense for the third consecutive season. SBU is allowing just 53 points per game, and if that average holds it will set an A-10 single-season record for scoring defense. The current record of 53.1 per outing is held by the 1999-2000 Saint Joseph's squad. Walker consistently matches up with the opposing team's best offensive player and ranks second on the Bona roster in defensive rebounding, having pulled down 117 this year, just two fewer than Van Tatenhove. Perhaps her best defensive effort of the year came in a win at West Virginia as she held Taylor Palmer to just three points on 1-14 shooting — her worst performance of the campaign — after Palmer scored 33 in WVU's season opener. St. Bonaventure earned the No. 1 seed at this weekend's 2012 Buick A-10 Women's Basketball Championship in Philadelphia and will commence action on Saturday, March 3, at Noon against either eighth-seeded La Salle or ninth-seeded Xavier.

second with a 5-3 double play. The right-hander from East Amherst, N.Y. surrendered three walks in the game, including the leadoff batter in the fourth, in what would prove to be the Mount's best scoring chance. After a sacrifice bunt moved the runner over, an infield error put runners on the corners. With just one away and two in scoring position after a stolen base, Sansano settled in, striking out her first batter of the game and inducing a infield popup to end the threat. Sansano spun three perfect innings to close it out, with the game's final out being another popup to second baseman Brittany Storch.

Senior catcher Brooke Frey called the game from behind the plate and blasted a two-RBI double to left in the top of the third for the first runs of the game. Ashley Nowak brought Grace Rooney in to score in the seventh, before Lindsay Stowell's two-bagger pushed two more home. Junior Jessenia Andujar singled to right to give the Bonnies the final margin. St. Bonaventure's Diana Phalon allowed just one earned run and struck out three in the 2-0 loss to McNeese State in the first game of the day. The Bonnies continue the Osprey Invitational tomorrow with games against Delaware State and host North Florida.

that up this past season with 76 receptions, and became the first player in team history to record consecutive 1,000-yard receiving campaigns. He has 170 catches for 2,189 yards and 19 touchdowns in 48 games during his four-year career. The Bills would have been dealt a big blow had they not re-signed Johnson. Perennially one of the worst offensive teams in the league, they began making strides last year in Fitzpatrick’s second year as the starting quarterback. Buffalo finished 14th in the NFL in yards gained, its best ranking since finishing 11th in 2002 under the direction of quarterback Drew Bledsoe. Johnson has been a big part of that resurgence. “We’ve developed a great relationship,” said Fitzpatrick, who signed a six-year, $59 million contract extension in October. “To be able to continue that and see that grow for the next few years is going to be great. Chan (Gailey) and Buddy have a plan in place and this shows that we’re on the right track. We’re going to keep the guys that perform, and continue upon what we’ve done.” Johnson agrees that the Bills are on the right path despite

losing eight of their final nine games to finish 6-10 in 2011, their 12th straight season without a postseason berth. “This group is the only group I’ve known, so why leave now when you got guys turning that corner,” he said. “There’s a lot of promise here. We have a talented group, and I think we’ll be a team that people have to take notice with these coming years.” This past season was a turbulent one for Johnson. He fought through injuries to his shoulder, groin, and hand, and also landed in hot water for his over-the-top celebrations. He was benched for the final three quarters of the Bills’ finale at New England after being flagged a second time in six games — and third time in two years — for an excessive touchdown celebration. But Fitzpatrick believes Johnson will leave the past behind as the two focus on taking their team to the next level. “All the stuff with the celebrations and the penalties that happened last year — that stuff ’s all done with,” Fitzpatrick said. “He’s a leader on this team, and he’s a guy that is concerned with the team and winning, and I think he’ll show that.”

Miller Named League’s First Star For Week Ending March 4

shutouts as the Sabres (30-278, 68 points) moved within two points of eighth place in the Eastern Conference. He began the week with backto-back shutouts, making 43 saves in a 2-0 win at the Anaheim Ducks Feb. 29 and 39 saves in a 1-0 victory at the San Jose Sharks March 1. Miller then recorded 32 saves in a 5-3 win at the Vancouver Canucks March 5, stretching his shutout streak to 155:37 before David Booth scored at 15:37 of the second period. The 2009-10 Vezina Trophy winner is 22-17-5 with a 2.59 goals-against average, .915 save percentage and five shutouts in 46 appearances.

Kronwall provided Detroit with offense from the blueline in the absence of injured captain and seven-time Norris Trophy winner Nicklas Lidstrom, beginning with one goal and two assists in a 5-2 win at the Columbus Blue Jackets Feb. 28. He had his second consecutive three-point game with three assists in a 6-0 victory against the Minnesota Wild March 2 and scored Detroit’s lone goal in a 2-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks March 4. The 31-year-old Stockholm, Sweden native has 31 points, including a career-high 14 goals, in 66 games.

Third Star: Ray Emery, G, Chicago Blackhawks Emery went 3-0-0 with a 1.13 goals-against average and .959 save percentage to help the Blackhawks (36-24-7, 79 points) tighten their grip on sixth place in the Western Conference. He allowed one goal in 40 minutes of relief as Chicago rallied for a 5-4 victory against the Toronto Maple Leafs Feb. 29, stopped 25 shots in a 2-1 win at the Ottawa Senators March 2 and made 23 saves in a 2-1 victory at the Detroit Red Wings March 4. Playing in his first season with the Blackhawks, Emery has a 14-8-2 record with a 2.58 goals-against average and .909 save percentage in 28 appearances.

The tributaries are currently flowing at medium to higher levels with murky to muddy conditions. The smaller streams are your best bet, however some of the medium sized streams are also fishable. More rain is forecasted for tonight, which will further muddy the streams. Some fresh silvery steelhead are moving in on every high water event, and there are no ice jams at creek mouths to impede migrating steelhead. When conditions have permitted, anglers have seen modest catches of both fresh and drop-back steelhead. Some steelhead are already actively spawning and it is recommended that anglers avoid spawning pairs. Egg sacs, egg pattern flies, trout beads and jigs with grubs have worked best in cold water conditions, drifted slow and deep. Spring-like conditions will soon have steelhead striking additional baits such as stonefly imitations, streamers, minnows and nightcrawlers. Lake Erie and Harbors Anglers are still seeing decent brown

in. Anglers can target trout from the city pier, DEC fishing platform or by

boat. Keep in mind that the launch docks are pulled, so you must be able

to launch your boat without a dock. Larger, live emerald shiners fished 4-6 feet under a float have worked well. Spoons, spinners and egg sacs are also good offerings for harbor trout. Gizzard shad are in the harbor as well, thick at times. Anglers can also try Barcelona Harbor for trout. Chautauqua Lake Ice fishing season is over as ice is deteriorating rapidly lake-wide. Much of the north end of the lake near Mayville is now open water. Anglers will soon be able to launch boats at the northern end, if not already. Upper Niagara River Very windy weather will surely muddy upper river waters. When water conditions improve, anglers can target yellow perch from Buffalo riverfront sites. Emerald shiners are best bait for perch. Anglers can also target trout off Squaw Island and Bird Island Pier with egg sacks, minnows or spoons.

The Spring Steelhead Run Is Now By Steve Peacock Star Outdoors Writer

It’s still goose season until March 10 and I don’t think I am going to get out hunting. I was really eager for the spring season when the winter began. Now that the season is here I don’t seem to have the motivation to get my gear back out and go out. Maybe it’s because of all of the warm

spring weather we’ve been having. When spring comes I can’t help but get the urge to go fishing. OK, I always want to fish but even more in the spring. In the spring I usually do most of my fishing right from shore. At this time of the year there are several species that come up the creeks where they can be caught from shore. Later in the season, when the water gets warmer, you are better off fishing from a boat so you can get out to

where the fish are. As the water warms up most fish end up moving out to deeper water. The major exception to this basic rule is the catfish that come in to breed around June. Usually a good indication that the cats are running is when the cotton from the trees is floating on the water. Last year we had the best catfish run I ever can remember. A friend of mine has been fishing from the creek bank already this spring. He told me

that he has been catching suckers and mullet. I don’t know anyone who wants to eat either of these species but they are fun to fish for. If you are looking to do some spring steelhead fishing then right now might be the best time. An early spring like we are having may bring an early end to the steelhead run. Since I wrote my last article I had a fisherman tell me how good the stream fishing has been. He also said that the fish they have been catching

are a silvery chrome color. The chrome appearance is a sure sign that these fish are fresh out of the lake. When a steelhead first comes into the creek they have more energy and fight much harder than one that has been in the creek for a while. I also believe they taste better when they are still silver. In fact the best tasting one I ever had was caught in mid-summer from out in the deep part of the lake.

GOLF SPOKEN HERE

Par, bogey and golfer’s angst In the early 1900s, the term “par” was used to make it easier to compare the scores of tournament players. Par was and still is the number of strokes an expert player takes to hole out on a given hole. A score of “bogey” (one over par) on a hole was considered superb golf for a nonprofessional. The problem with this, of course, is that many golfers assume that par is what they should shoot, and this leads to “golfer’s angst,” the inner turmoil caused by setting unattainable goals.

Whatever else golf is, it’s a game of geometry. Lines and angles on a four-dimensional playing field relate the golfer, the ball and the target. The mistake I see most in my teaching is a faulty setup, and that is like beginning a trip by heading in the wrong direction. The first step to a perfect setup is to aim your clubface correctly, and the second is to align your body, and always in that order — aim, then align. Aiming Because it’s your clubface that makes contact with the ball, where it’s pointing at impact determines the direction the golf ball will initially travel. It’s helpful to use the lines on the toe and heel formed by the grooves on your clubface for aiming. It may sound simplistic, but you must take great care to aim your clubface at the target at address because that’s where you want it looking at impact. Always set the clubface behind the ball before you take the rest of your set up. Then build your stance around your clubface so that if you extended a line from the leading edge (the bottom part) of the clubface to your toe line, the two lines would be perpendicular. Aligning Your shoulders determine the direction your arms swing, so they must be aligned correctly to ensure that your clubface looks at the target at impact. They should be parallel

Visit his tion that website at your shoultjtomasi.com. ders point. When you’re aligned to the right, if you make a good swing, your swing path will be too much inside-to-outside of the target line. The alignment of your hips is important because your hips dictate the amount of rotation away from and back to the ball. Open hips (facing more toward the target than strictly parallel to the target line) cause you to underturn on the backswing. If your hips are closed at address (lined up facing away from the target), you run the risk of overturning on the backswing and then not being able to get your hips turned back in time for impact. To make sure your aim and alignment are correct, lay down two clubs to help you judge your position, one along your foot line parallel to the target line and one behind the ball on the target line. When your body is parallel with the target line, it’s said to be “square” to the target. When your clubface points at the target, it is also square. Begin from a perfectly square stance and then make adjustments based on your flexibility and body shape.

Past perfection helps guide future success high 5-iron, you can mentally reference your catalog and relive it as you retrace it. Science tells us that the central nervous system can’t tell the difference between a perfectly imagined or recalled experience and a real one. So if you learn to recall the most perfect 5-iron you ever hit with full imagery, then, with the feeling fresh in your imagination, your body will better execute the current 5-iron, free of any verbal conversation or instructions. Vivid imagery is a skill a player can learn with practice, and it’s important to choose your representatives carefully. The most effective images are multi-sensorial — shots that make you recall the rhythm of the swing, the sound of contact, the sight of the ball in flight, or any other feature that makes the memory vivid. Whenever you play, be on the lookout for better shots with sharper images that can improve on those currently in your catalog. Replay your best shots in your mind until you burn them into your memory. When your catalog is complete, and your recollection vivid, you’ll have a brain stocked with the images necessary to play your best golf. All you have to do is step out of the way.

Q: I am about a 77 to 81 shooter, but getting off the tees is my main problem. I am strong and 66 years old. I draw my long irons, but slice my woods. My short game, putting and all iron play are good — I just need to get off the tee better. I believe I hit my woods the same way I hit my irons, but it doesn’t seem to work with the woods. Can you give me some advice? — George A: Because you draw your irons and slice your woods, I am inclined to think that you are trying to “muscle” your woods for extra distance. When players try to hit the ball too hard, they start the downswing with a violent move of the right shoulder. This causes the club to approach the ball on an outside-to-in path, and creates either a pulled shot or a slice. Use this concept: There is no now moment in the swing, no point at which you feel a hit. (To Ask the Pro a question about golf, email him at: TJInsider@aol.com.)

THE GOLF DOCTOR

Strength traning program should build golf muscles All things being equal, the strongest machine wins, so I advise my students to adopt some sort of strength program, and that involves lifting weights. But I do so with a few caveats: 1. Whatever program you use, first get your doctor’s approval. 2. Make sure your program is not just a general program, but one specifically designed to build golf muscles. 3. Use the proper form on all exercises; go through a complete range of motion for each joint. 4. Don’t lift weights that are too heavy. 5. Design a program you will do at least three times a week (you will soon stop doing a program that’s too aggressive). 6. After each set of repetitions, swing a golf club at high speeds to train your muscles’ firing patterns for speed. 7. Breathe correctly. Good breathing technique protects your eyes. As blood pressure rises during the lift, it can lead to a torn or detached retina on the back of the eye, especially if you are nearsighted. To lessen the danger, make sure to exhale just before each lift.

SCIENCE SAYS

Humans are hard-wired to fixate on trouble According to researchers at the University of Essex in England, humans have a system that keeps us focused on threatening images. Dr. Elaine Fox headed the study, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, reporting that people facing threatening images must focus on them. “These experiments are evidence that anxious people are not just shifting their attention toward the location of threat,” said Fox. “They may be unable to disengage their attention to a noticed threat.” Of course, this makes good sense because you don’t want to stop and gaze at the beautiful cloud formation with a dinosaur bearing down. Given the human “survival package,” as soon as you interpret what you’re looking at as threatening, you’ll focus on the threat until it goes away.

ASK THE PRO

Now my body is parallel with the target line, and my clubface aims down the same target line.

TEEING OFF

A vivid imagination will serve you well in this week’s assignment from the “when to do what” improvement program I’ve developed for serious golf students. You should spend time this week thinking about your past golf shots — not simple reminiscing, but something far more powerful: creating a collection of best shots that you’ll use to improve every swing you make in the future. Greg Norman describes his catalog of best shots: “You want to file the good ones away for future reference. That way you’ll be able to bring them back as part of another reinforcement technique — visualization. You envision the ideal shot, in detail. Then you recall successful similar shots from your past and draw confidence from those earlier successes. I can think of favorite shots for every situation I face, and I call them forth each time I play.” You should compile a catalog of the best shots you have ever hit, just as Norman does. Write down one for each club — the best driver, the best wedge, etc., and note where, when and how it felt. Further enhance your catalog by listing best shots in challenging situations, such as in a tight match, against a heavy crosswind, over trees. Then, when you face a situation on the course calling for, say, a

Tiger Woods missed a crucial 5-foot straight-away putt to lose on the 18th hole of his round at last week’s Accenture Match Play Championship. Of course, it does happen (the average tour player misses 20 percent of the time from 5 feet), but not to Tiger Woods. Or at least it didn’t happened before he changed his putting stroke. Tiger’s most recent big miss on the 18th hole sent him out in the second round at an event he has won three times. This year, he ranks a dismal 181st on tour in putting from 5 feet or less. Six months ago I mused: “It’s no wonder that neither Butch Harmon nor Hank Haney tried to change Tiger’s short game, which would be like painting a grin on the ‘Mona Lisa.’ Now stripped of his greatest weapon — his short game — Tiger no longer strikes fear into the hearts of his opponents.” “How I release the putter, how I release the short game, how I release irons, drivers — they’re all related,” says Woods, after working with Sean Foley. “You just can’t have one swing (for one segment) and then have another — they’re all interrelated.” Sorry, but this is a bad concept. Woods needs to abandon the idea that all swings, from chipping and sand to the full swing and putting, are the same. It sounds good, but it’s false. Tiger needs to go back to playing the way his father taught him to putt and chip.

If you’re in the habit of viewing hazards as scary, you’ll lock onto the image of the hazard and you won’t let go. Thus, the label you put on the situation is the key factor: Label it as dangerous, and you’ll produce scary pictures that you must fixate on. Then, instead of hitting “into the picture,” you’ll be trying to keep your ball “out of the picture.” You can remove the scary pictures from your mental screen by objectively evaluating the architect’s defenses as an integral part of your shot-planning process. Take care to label the trouble simply as one part of the picture. The architect tries to make the trouble loom on your mental screen, but you must make the target loom. (More details about the mental game are in my book “The 30-Second Golf Swing,” at tjtomasi.com.)

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“A lot of people consider him (Tiger Woods) the best player in the world. If I start beating him, what would that make me?” — Phil Mickelson Right now that would make Phil No. 20 in the world; Tiger is No. 21.

Judd do it

‘Missing’ brings big-screen action on the small screen By Kyla Brewer TV Media

he line between big screen and small screen is blurring. More and more series these days feature big budget special effects and a cast of Hollywood heavyweights. ABC has snagged some serious Hollywood cred for its latest series as Golden Globe nominee Ashley Judd brings her talents to the alphanetwork in “Missing,” premiering Thursday, March 15. Judd stars as Becca Winstone, an American mother who realizes it’s time to let go of her son, Michael (Nick Eversman), when he’s offered the opportunity to study abroad. It’s particularly hard for Winstone, con-

sidering she’s been raising Michael alone since he witnessed his father’s murder as a boy. When he goes missing just a few weeks into his studies, she aims to find out what’s happened to him. Intrigue and action abound as it’s revealed that Becca was once a dangerous CIA operative, and it becomes clear she’s willing to do whatever it takes to find her son. Her journey forces her to confront old wounds and rely on old friends if she has any hope of getting Michael back alive. The fact that a network series, as opposed to a cable show, has attracted the likes of Judd is a huge triumph. While cable channels have been wooing film stars with hard-

hitting plots and well-written scripts for years now, the networks haven’t fared quite as well. With a few exceptions, notably Kiefer Sutherland in Fox’s “24” a few years back, networks haven’t snagged the big names like cable giants HBO or Showtime, but “Missing” appears to have a big-screen quality lacking in many network series. With exotic locales, high-speed chases, explosions and hand-tohand combat, the series trailer looks more like the latest Hollywood action flick than a network prime-time series. But Judd’s presence promises more than just flashy fight sequences and fireballs. “Missing” combines drama and intrigue as well, two things the multifaceted actress has tackled before. She got her first real break when she was cast as Reed in the NBC drama “Sisters,” and from there, left television behind for feature films. Judd earned critical acclaim for her role in the independent hit “Ruby in Paradise” (1993), which also earned her an Independent Spirit Award. Her star continued to climb in such hits as “Smoke” and “Heat” (both 1995), as well as “Kiss the Girls” (1997). Judd showed off her toughgirl chops as another scorned mother in “Double Jeopardy” (1999) opposite Tommy Lee Jones. Her role in the 2004 Cole Porter biopic “DeLovely” netted her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress.

What’s in stores: Designers share passion for fashion in new series By Andrew Sawyer TV Media

unway models don fantastical costumes and strut their stuff on the catwalk in extravagant fashion shows. Specials and series abound that offer a dramatic behind-the-scenes look into this world. But you wouldn’t see these clothes worn around the office or during a trip to the mall. A new fashion-based reality show headed by supermodel Elle Macpherson offers something a little different and closer to home. In “Fashion Star,” premiering Tuesday, March 13, on NBC, 14 aspiring designers compete for the chance to get their designs from the sketch pad to store shelves. With her considerable experience both on and off the runway, Macpherson serves as host and executive producer. She is joined by an eclectic crew of fashion-forward celebrity mentors, who bring their unique senses of style to the series. Nicole Richie, Jessica Simpson and John Varvatos guide the designers on their quests to complete their challenges. Each weekly challenge culminates in an exciting fashion show featuring models, music and dancers. The groundbreaking twist is that the winning designs from each show will be available for order online immediately after the episode airs and will hit department store racks the very next day. Setting it apart from Heidi Klum’s “Project Runway” (and similarlythemed shows) is its unprecedented partnership with three of the largest retailers in America: H&M, Macy’s and Saks Fifth Avenue. Plus, while “Runway” centered more on high fashion and provocative works, “Fashion Star” promises to be a lit-

Elle Macpherson in “Fashion Star” tle more down-to-earth. The focus is on designing real clothes to be bought off department store racks by the viewing audience themselves. A buyer from each of the three retailers will be on-hand to judge the designs on the spot and make decisions about which products they like enough to sell in their stores -and which ones they don’t. The designers who fail to sell anything by the end of the episode will be up for elimination. This is where the mentors can step in to save one of them from the chopping block. In the end, the winning designer’s collection will be carried by all three stores, with orders totaling $6 million. Though well-known worldwide as a model and occasional actress, Macpherson’s true calling seems to be on the design side of the fashion world. In 1990, she launched Elle Macpherson Intimates, a line of lingerie apparel that she was heavily involved in designing. In 2005, she expanded into bath and beauty

products and her lines continue to enjoy global success. Growing up in Los Angeles with a famous father, Richie was surrounded by high fashion and is certainly no stranger to style. Perhaps best known for her antics in “The Simple Life” alongside fellow celubutante Paris Hilton, Richie also has her own line of fashion products under the Winter Kate House of Harlow 1960 company. It includes products ranging from apparel to sunglasses and jewelry. Songstress Simpson brings her multi-faceted talent to the table as well. She blazed on to the music scene in the late 1990s and later established herself as an actress in such movies as “The Dukes of Hazzard” (2005) and “Employee of the Month” (2006). She launched the Jessica Simpson Collection in 2005, which has grown from high-heels and handbags to include an array of clothing, fragrances and accessories. Least well-known among the

He’s worked for Polo Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein, and, in 2000, he launched his own premiere men’s collection, which netted him the Perry Ellis Award for New Menswear Designer that year and the next. The 14 design hopefuls include seasoned designers with decades of experience, fresh graduates just get-

StarsonScreen By Sheila Busteed TV Media GOING ‘WILD’: Jenny McCarthy

is adding more ‘wild’ to NBC’s “Love in the Wild” as the reality show’s new host. The former Playboy Playmate joined the crew and group of new contestants in the Dominican Republic last month to start production of the adventure-dating show’s second season, which will premiere later this year. McCarthy helped popularize the matchmaker show genre in the ‘90s as host of MTV’s “Singled Out.” After her 2005 divorce from John Mallory Asher, she began dating comic actor Jim Carrey soon after-

ward. She split from Carrey in 2010. Since then, she has appeared on several dating series, including Bravo’s “The Millionaire Matchmaker.” “Everyone knows I’ve looked just about everywhere -- except the jungle -- for love,” said McCarthy. “I wanted to apply as a contestant and ended up with a job.” In addition to her Playboy spreads and previous hosting experience, McCarthy is recognized most for her iconic American image and her slapstick humor. Her NBC sitcom, “Jenny,” only lasted one season, but it was enough to give her exposure and land her a lead role in the Trey Parker-Matt Stone feature film, “BASEketball” (1998). Viewers may also remember her for the multiple arcs she did as Courtney on “Two and a Half Men,” as well as guest appearances on “Chuck,” “My Name is Earl,” “Hope & Faith,” Jenny McCarthy has been named the new host of “Love in the Wild”

“The Drew Carey Show” and “Just Shoot Me!” She’s also known for her starring role in the two “Santa Baby” TV movies. McCarthy has also published eight books about children and motherhood, plus she has been a strong celebrity voice for autism awareness. “It’s a huge advantage to have the versatile Jenny McCarthy return to host an alternative series on our network in a genre that she first helped to make popular on television,” said NBC’s Paul Telegdy. “She brings a measure of unpredictability to the show’s unique format and we are thrilled to feature her charisma, enthusiasm and magnetism in this adventure series.” McCarthy replaces outgoing host Darren McMullen, who is returning to Australia to host the Down-Under version of “The Voice.” ANIMAL FARM: One man has

helped create dramas for the small screen that have become monstrously successful. The other man has made a killing at the box office as a producer of many hit films. Now, the two Hollywood titans are joining forces to let the beasts from Capitol Hill off their leashes. USA recently announced it has picked up the six-hour dramatic miniseries “Political Animals,” which will be helmed by acclaimed producers Greg Berlanti and Laurence Mark. It’s scheduled to debut this summer on the top-rated cable network. “We’re ecstatic to collaborate

KCR Enterprises 2 x 2”

with Greg and Larry, a writing and producing dream team of this magnitude,” said USA co-president Chris McCumber. The programming event will draw a great deal of inspiration from real-life drama in recent American politics. The story Centre on Elaine Barrish, the current secretary of state who is also a divorced former First Lady. Her home life is struggling as she tries to juggle its drama with that of federal politics. The miniseries shows a dark, behind-the-scenes look at work in the White House, and Elaine manages to find an ally in the oddest of places. Washington journalist Susan Berg ends up lending support to the

secretary after years of criticizing her in the media. Berlanti broke in to the TV scene in 1998 as a writer and executive producer for “Dawson’s Creek.” He’s since earned similar credits with “Eli Stone,” “Everwood,” “No Ordinary Family” and “Brothers & Sisters.” He was also an executive producer of “Dirty Sexy Money.” Mark, on the other hand, has produced such big-screen hits as “Tom and Huck” (1995), “Jerry Maguire” (1996), “Bicentennial Man” (1999), “I, Robot” (2004), “Dreamgirls” (2006) and “Julie & Julia” (2009). Casting choices have not yet been finalized or announced by the network.

Restaurateur helps owners with their staff in new Food series TV Media

ou’ve probably heard this before: a happy customer tells a friend, but an unhappy customer tells ten (although the actual numbers may vary, you get the idea). Sadly, many of us have encountered poor customer service at some point: maybe it was a bumbling or rude waiter, a bartender who seemed to ignore you intentionally, or the hostess who was less than courteous while you waited for a table. Maybe there was even a hostile manager. Granted, there are countless dedicated individuals out there who strive to provide excellent customer service, and many even surpass expectations. But that one unpleasant encounter can be enough for the restaurant to lose that customer forever -- not to mention future revenue. For some restaurant owners, all that ends now. They’ve signed on to get the help of an expert and are willing to have it all play out in front of a national audience. On Sunday, March 11, the Food Network offers a sneak preview of its newest reality series, “Restaurant Stakeout,” before it settles into its Wednesday time-slot. Willie Degel is a self-made millionaire and owner of the popular New York eatery Uncle Jack’s Steakhouse. He’s ready to share his nononsense, customer service-focused approach and high expectations with other restaurateurs – but the catch? He doesn’t shy away from using a little covert surveillance to know exactly what is going on when people think they’re not being watched. Using hidden cameras, Degel will

watch transactions and exchanges at each eatery as staff members (including management) contend with various situations and problems, including dealing with impossible customers. And that’s exactly what he does at Vegas eatery Firefly in the series opener. Armed with his observations, knowledge and expertise, Degel then sets out to shape up the staff. His goal: to get everyone working together with the product so that a fine meal becomes a top-notch din- Willie Degel of “Restaurant Stakeout” ing experience.

THURSDAY While some viewers might balk at Degel’s techniques, he is no stranger to this approach -- he’s been known to use it regularly with his own employees. And while the premise invites comparisons with other workplace intervention-type series such as Fox’s “Kitchen Nightmares,” this show is not a chef-driven vehicle: the menus don’t need to be modified, and the decor is fine as is -- they real-

ly just need to shake up how they approach and interact with their customer base. While Degel might be a relative newcomer to the television world, it’s not really the first television project he’s has been involved with -- he was initially to be featured in his own reality series on truTV titled “America’s Toughest Boss,” but that project never came to be.

NCAA stars won’t give up without a fight By Joel Duplessis TV Media

ollege basketball is about to hit another degree of intensity as the most anticipated tournament of the year gets set to tip off later this week. March Madness represents all the excitement and thrilling competition that fans of NCAA basketball cherish, and this year’s competition is sure to deliver. Teams from across the country are now preparing to embark on the punishing, single-elimination event. Sixty-eight teams will begin the tournament this week, but only four will remain for the national semifinal on Saturday, March 31, in New Orleans. It’s a rough, winding road to reach Final-Four glory, and it’s the journey that makes legends of some and breaks the hearts of many. Every year, players elevate their game and carry their respective schools to the big dance, and this year will surely be no different. Kansas Jayhawks forward, Thomas Robinson, is just one of those dominant players who can dictate the outcome of a game and carry his team to a title. Many consider Robinson to be the best forward in the nation, and it’s hard to argue otherwise. Averaging nearly 18 points and 12 rebounds per game, Robinson has the raw ability to take the Jayhawks deep into March basketball. An outright favorite to be in the April 2 final game is the Kentucky Wildcats. While Kentucky has been carried by freshmen Anthony Davis, Marquis Teague and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, it will be the senior Darius Miller who’ll prove to be the most valuable in March. Miller is a leader both on and off the court. His 6-foot-7 frame will help in the paint, but his steadiness while shooting beyond the arc will also give the Wildcats an added punch. 5:00 p.m.
