Residents of Kiantone were said to have been joined throughout the middle to late 1800s at what some referred to as “the mystical valley” by spiritual leaders from various points of interest. Followers of those spiritualists as well as curiosity seekers who wanted to embrace religious freedom later took the journey to Chautauqua County, some for a brief visit while others decided to establish roots at what become known as the center of the spiritualist

By Daniel Meyer Star News Writer

A spiritual community that was born in the 1850s and settled in the Chautauqua County region that is now known as Hidden Valley made its mark over 150 years ago by tackling important philosophical issues of that time, including religious freedom, women’s rights, the concept of “free love” and the Abolition movement. Located near the New York-Pennsylvania border, Kiantone has an intriguing history that many local residents are not very familiar with. The community’s spiri-

Developing the “hackademic” discipline and mindset, according to the book, includes identifying one’s own talents and building a network of resources and mentors as well as developing “steely” nerves and an appetite for risk. Stephens, who had the full support of his parents, was himself a “drop-out.” In lieu of college, he had a string of numerous profitable and cultural endeavors, including starting and selling a photography business, working for an edtech start-up and traveling to France for six months. Stephens also offers plenty of stories of fellow dropout friends from his extensive network. Many have founded successful startups. “Having to learn while you do something as opposed to before you do something seems to be the biggest difference between the real world and school to me,” Stephens affirms.

on March 19. According to legend, there was a famine many centuries ago. The villagers prayed to St. Joseph, the foster-father of the Infant Savior Jesus, and asked his intercession of God. Their prayers were answered. With the ending of the dreadful famine, a special feast of thanksgiving was held in commemoration of Saint Joseph. This celebration became a tradition with families and now whole churches prepare a huge dinner. They invite the whole community to share in the feast.

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pet of the Week

Pets of the Week

This week we are featuring “Kira” and “Jubilee.” Kira is a one-year-old, short-haired, blue cream kitty. She is very playful, but if you stop petting her before she is done she will give you a little “slap” to remind you to keep going. She has a great, outgoing “purr-sonality”, but would do best in a home without small children. “Jubilee” is a one-year-old, yellow lab mix. She is very sweet, loves other dogs and wants to play, play, play! She needs a little basic training, but is eager to please. She loves everyone and would be fine in any home that is willing to do the training with her. If either of these great pets sounds like the one for you, stop by the Strunk Road Adoption Center. They are ready for a forever family of their own.

varying ages, rode along the Mississippi River on a steamship. Their travels were part of an outreach to spread the word about their beliefs and desire to assist others in embracing religious freedom as well as an opportunity to recruit new members who were willing to return to the commune in Kiantone. According to historical archives, the leader of these spiritualists was John Murray Spear, a man who played many different roles in this movement. He was among those who believed the sulfur springs located near Kiantone provided some type of healing powers to those who were sick or dying. Spear also led a group of his most devoted followers from the commune on a rather odd digging escapade in which a lengthy tunnel was dug as an intense search for who Spear allegedly called “non-human critters” who he claimed had webbed feet took place. Their efforts came up rather empty, despite the fact that Spear was bound and determined to find the web-footed creatures. Spear and his top lieutenants believed in an effort to free all women “from the slavery of masculine control” and also gave speeches that centered around the belief of “free love,” which allegedly led Spear and some other men from the commune to engage in sexual activities with women other than their wives. A number of factors played into the eventual demise of the commune, including a lack of financial support, problems recruiting new followers and a ruling by a group of spiritualist leaders that allegedly found Spear guilty of “immoral practices.” It is believed that farmers eventually took over the campground and tore down the octagonshaped homes and cottages sometime between 1907 and 1908. The only standing symbol of the Kiantone Harmonia Spiritual Springs domain is a small shed based on a stone foundation that was built on a hill just outside of Kiantone. Interested onlookers who visit the site should be able to read a small sign located above the shed door with the words “Spiritualists Spring” on it. The Chautauqua Star plans to publish future stories for our new series, “The Lost Places of Chautauqua County,” to investigate those little-known destinations and sites of interest that existed once but are all but forgotten.

I felt bad for her, because people (in the music industry) took advantage of her and didn’t pay her what she deserved.” Though people may have gotten to know Cline through her music, Cook says she also tells audience members other bits of biographical information about the singer they may not know. “At 13, she had rheumatic fever and almost died; her heart stopped beating at one point and was brought back.” Cline,

By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor

This week marks the fi ftieth anniversary of the death of Patsy Cline, the country legend known for her smooth voice which evoked emotion with such hits as “Crazy,” Walking After Midnight,” and “I Fall to Pieces.” Still remembered today, her songs hold a place in the hearts of fans and, like magic, have the ability to take listeners back to a special time in their lives. Even those born after her death have one or two of Patsy’s melodies embedded in their minds. Pat Cook of Mayville has tapped into that magic with a voice so close to Patsy Cline, that she was recruited by a local musician to join him in a show which featured a tribute to the singer. Cook started singing in high school and performed in folk masses at church. She admits, “I was not country before country was cool.” Folk music and rock & roll were most interesting when she was young. Being introduced to bluegrass over 25 years ago by Dan Snow brought her into a new appreciation for traditional country music. In June of 2002, Cook says her life was changed forever when she was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. She had surgery, chemo, radiation and reconstruction. “It was a very hard time in my life, but thanks to God and a great team

are from that era and absolutely love it.” Cook has also performed at fundraisers, the Noble Winery and various outdoor summer venues. “They want to hear Patsy,” she says. “She was powerful, she was everything, I can’t do her justice, but if I can make you think about her and bring back memories of what was going on in your life, that’s the important part.” For information on booking the Patsy Cline tribute, interested persons may contact Pat Cook at cookinn@ outlook.com or call 716269-6288.

of professionals I am still here.” Cook found music was very good therapy. It was in 2003, she remembers her friend Skip Roberts of Emerald City Productions calling her one day to say, ‘I just want to tell you I’ve been scouting you. You sound just like Patsy Cline. “ The duo started “Country Royalty,” with Roberts performing Hank Williams songs and Cook, Patsy Cline’s repertoire. The two performed in various venues though out Western New York and Northern Pennsylvania. In 2008, she made the

she says, attributed that event to launching her career, as she came back from the experience “with a voice like Kate Smith.” Always wanting to be a country singer, Cline recorded over 100 songs in her brief career before dying in a plane crash at age 30. “ As a young teenager, she would listen to a live radio show in her town, ‘Joltin’ “Jim McCoy, and approached the host saying ’I want to sing on your show.‘ She really paved the way for a lot of singers.” As for Cook, she says her favorite places to perform are nursing homes and assisted living facilities. “Patsy would have been 80 this year and those people

RELIGION SECTION Keeping the Faith

Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia www.fcfredonia.org

Dear Pastor, why is Easter so important? I am so glad you asked! Many people view the celebration of Easter mostly as a time for Easter baskets, chocolate bunnies, and dressing up when (or if) we go to church. Basically, the whole event of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is seen more as a historical event with little or no relevance to our life. Nothing could be further from the truth! In the Book of Ephesians, the Apostle Paul prayed that believers would come to understand the tremendous power that has been made available

to them through the Resurrection. Due to space limitations, we will only list verses 17-20 of Chapter 1, “That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, (18) the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, (19) and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power (20) which He

worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places….” This prayer declares that the greatest exercise of God’s power was the Resurrection. It’s important that we know and understand the plan that God has called us to and that this power is still available to us today. It declares that God wants to use this Resurrection power to help us all do His will! However, in order to qualify for this scripture…you must be a Believer or follower of Jesus Christ. If you have not yet been born-again or

given your life to the Lord, I want to encourage you to accept Christ into your heart so that you will be His and have access to all that is written in the Word. Making this decision today will not only guarantee an eternity in God’s presence, but will allow the mighty power of the Resurrection to reign in your life! If you are already a born-again believer, I want to encourage you to pray this prayer for yourselves and loved ones. This will help you to better understand the power made available through the Resurrection and how to tap into it.

The Weekly Word

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church Jamestown thenewfamilychurch.com

Church Significance What if the President of the United States called you and said, “On Sunday morning I will be calling you. I want to speak to you about some very important issues regarding our nation.” The first thing that would come to your mind would be, “I hope I act right.” Because that office holds such high regard in our land it would put a reverent awe within you. Well, let me tell you that there is a greater office than that of the President. The office I am speaking of is the office of High Priest, Messiah, Great Apostle, and the Living Son of God. The Bible tells us that the resurrected Christ walks the aisles of His church when we gather. Our willingness to revere the offices of men rather than the offices of God demonstrates that

we simply walk by sight and not by faith. It is a reflection that men fear men more than they fear God. We have denigrated the single greatest phenomenon on the earth: Christ walking in the midst of the church. Often, I am confronted by Christians that insist that having a Bible teaching local church is not necessary. They insist that they can be a believer without a church. Let me say this: You cannot be a faithful believer without one. That is like setting fire to the oval office and saying that you are faithful to the President. Any person who neglects the local church is out of fellowship with God and is putting their soul at risk. Does that statement make you mad? There is an old colloquial expression that says, “The stuck pig squeals the loudest.” A person upset

with that is just proving their guilty conscience. Hebrews 10:25-29 says, “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together…but exhorting one another so much the more as the day approaches. BECAUSE if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sin. Of how much sorer punishment do you suppose he is thought to be worthy that has trodden under foot the Son of Man and counted the blood WHEREWITH HE WAS SANCTIFIED…an unholy thing…” I encourage you to read those verses very carefully. These scriptures are warning us that our wrong motives and living can lead us straight to hell even if there was a time when we received the truth.

This is why church is so significant: We are not there to fulfill an attendance policy. We are there to be exhorted to faithfulness. God knows that we need to be exhorted on a regular basis so we don’t allow wrong intentions to grip our lifestyles. God’s voice booms from the local church. His voice shakes our conscience to prevent us from counting the blood of Jesus unholy. His voice tenderizes our soul and makes us flexible to His leading. Like a loving Father that yells out to a child approaching a busy thoroughfare, God also arrests our attention with His voice from the midst of His church. God’s church is there for your safety.

To pour a half-cup of maple syrup generously onto one’s pancake represents about six gallons of pre-boiled, simmered sap before it becomes the glorious golden syrup.

“Spouting” Off About “Sugaring” From Toil to Table: Know Your Source buyers are unaware what their groceries were before they took them from the cooler. How did those meat department chickens, so fastidiously presented, so handily displayed on clean, white styrofoam trays arrive? How did all those golden onions get from the ground—the dirt so tidily cleaned—and placed conveniently into that mesh bag? Who gathered the eggs, and how? What was pork before it became a chop? How was a potato before it was a chip? Or, syrup before it was in a bottle? Nutrition and wholesome diet aside, a reflection on how one’s meal is derived should be a component when eating it. A few years ago, I lived on an organic vegetable farm. My host was out into his gardens before the morning dew evaporated. His

By Peter Hamilton Star Contributing Writer

The “sweetest” weekends of the year, March 16-17 and 23-24 are celebrated across New York State; a testament to the popularity of the satisfying syrup and the interest in its production. You no doubt have seen the hanging buckets testifying to one of this area’s special offerings. Customarily, “sugaring” begins in March, although many begin as early as January. Two producers I spoke with had over four hundred gallons by late February; which represents about 16,000 gallons of sap! I have, in the past, made maple syrup. I did it on several levels; all of which involved standing and stirring. Standing and stirring. Standing and stirring. Inarguably, maple syrup production might be the most labor- intensive manner of foodstuff harvesting. Yes, in a sentence, to describe the making of maple syrup is simple: drill a hole in a tree; place some kind of tube to catch the dripping; dump that collected sap water to a pot, then boil it down. Simple. Easy. When I was involved in syrup making, the technology was primitive by modern standards, although not archaic. Newer apparatus are used now; but the basic, arduous task of gathering the sap remains an unchanged skill. About the first week of March, we trudged out into the snow, into the sugar bush, lifted the bucket from the tree, tipped the contents into a tractor-hauled tank, and pulled hundreds of gallons of watery sap back to the evaporating pan. Often, the tractor was mired axle-deep in spring mush. Always it was always cold. And wet. Never was it easy. Then there was the boiling. We fed miles of slab wood into the firebox as if they were on a conveyor belt; the fire’s yearning never satisfied. Sometimes the

“An evaporating pan steams while the sap “finishes” into maple syrup.” A sugar shack much like this one is used by many to produce maple syrup.”

crack between the firebox and the evaporating pan leaked, and the boiling room was filled with a haze of pungent smoke and sweet steam—a suggestive aroma that is reminiscently therapeutic whenever I re-visit a sugar shack, such as the one at Red’s Best Pancake House. Once, I placed a whole chicken into the sap—in a separate pot, out from the evaporating pan—and simmered the bird into a succulent, sweet maplely, late evening dinner. When thirsty, a ladle into the freshly cold, sap tank quenched thirst. I draped ham pieces over the evaporator, steaming the slices sugary. Humorously, I put finished syrup into empty

whiskey bottles; the contents suspiciously liquorcolored, intoxicating only in its novelty. My partner said I was a “sap” for doing such a thing, but appreciated the funniness. The making of syrup is a wholly natural and fulfilling engagement. To me, it is organic, perhaps Zen, in its inherent wholeness: the mindfulness of weather, the depth of a tree, the flow of sap, the effect of fire, the ascent of steam, the condensation of water, and then, the transformation of clear liquid into a golden, sweet amber fluid—a fluid whose reward is enchanting. There was a reward in sugaring greater than its

product: the satisfaction of hands-on sustenance. Vegetable gardeners are familiar with it. A hunter who dresses game can identify it. Grape farmers know the experience. A fisherman, one whose catch is a meal, understands it…a sense of knowing the source. I believe it is tremendously important for those who consume food (an activity which excludes no one) must know how it arrived on their plate. A holistic appreciation of one’s food source is essential. Can everyone have a garden? No. Do all have resources to raise livestock? Unlikely. Can all make juice from fruits? Doubtful. Unfortunately, most food

The potatoes have dirt. His tomatoes, some stems. He and I made maple syrup. Compared to commercial producers, his system is minuscule, but nevertheless, the same technique: instead of tubes, he has used milk jugs; instead of massive storage tanks, he has barrels. The boiling was the same. I suggest you stop along the road, take a peek inside one of those buckets, and see what syrup looks like when is was sap inside a tree.

NY SAFE Act, Continued from pg. 1

CONCEALED CARRY CLASS Permit honored in 34+ States including OH & PA Utah and Arizona non-resident CCP March 14th at VFW Post 6390 Sheridan, NY

boom in business as residents feel a stronger need to protect themselves, and own guns “before it’s too late,” as one woman said. J and J Guns in Sheridan, owned by Jeff and Michelle Jankowiak, is just one of the many gun stores who are flying by the seat of their pants in an effort to keep up with the changing laws. “We find out at the same time as anyone else does,” said Jeff. “I called the troopers office, and the same thing. All we have is the media to tell us what is going on, and that’s not good.” While a lack of communication between state lawmakers and a local business owner may not typically be pertinent, in this case it is because the Jankowiaks, like

others authorized in federal gun sales, will have to be the go between for all private gun sales from this point on. According to the SAFE Act, except in cases of immediate family, all private gun sales must be run through a background check. Regarding background checks in general, Jeff and Michelle have seen the room for improvement time and time again- and it’s not in regards to criminal history, but mental health. “The background checks are great- for criminal history,” said Michelle. “But because of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act), the background checks cannot access any form of mental health history. That means

that if you were just released from treatment for a mental disorder, but it wasn’t registered as criminal, we could sell you any gun you’d want. That’s where the real problem is.” While the SAFE Act tries to crack down on mental health patients’ gun possessions, state counselors are fighting the provision, stating that many of their patients will feel discriminated against by having to report mental health problems. Currently, the SAFE Act is being challenged as to its constitutionality in state court. Sources: Huffingtonpost.com nysheriffs.org govenor.ny.gov

tech living what is cloud computing?

By Phil Bens Star Contributing Writer

Technology is full of buzz words, acronyms, and jargon that is changing all the time. One of the latest phrases we hear in the media is “Cloud Computing.” Everything is being done “in the cloud”! It sounds great doesn’t it? Kind of like we are going to computer heaven and everything is perfect. We are in the cloud. Actually, the cloud concept has been around for a long time. When we use the cloud we are talking about using computer tools and services that do not reside on our computer, but in some other place. We also assume that these cloud

services take proper care of computer data by keeping it secure and backing it up. Being in the cloud makes one feel really good! Seriously, the idea of having your pictures, music, or fi nancial data in the cloud can have a couple of advantages. The first advantage would be the ability to access your media and data from any Internet connected computer or device. This gives us the flexibility of sharing our pictures with others, listening to music in different places without carrying it, or being able to get documents or other information quickly. The second advantage is that cloud services are usually used through an Internet web browser like Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox. Most all Internet connected devices come with a browser so there is no need to install additional software. This keeps your computer clean and free of lots of software. You may be using the cloud and you didn’t even know it. Any web mail provider such as Yahoo, Hotmail, or Gmail uses a cloud service as well as Amazon, Google

Docs, or Apple’s iCloud. You also can use the cloud to manage personal finance through Mint.com. As cloud services represent convenience and flexibility it is important to understand the terms in which you use these services. If you use a cloud service to store your personal data or important documents, you should take the time to read over the “terms of use” and the “privacy policy” of the service that you are using. Generally, these links are on the front of the website at the bottom of the page. Many times when you use a cloud service, you may be required to allow the service to use your personal information that may benefit the company and your information may be compiled with other information to create marketing strategies. Your information might also be repurposed to help promote the cloud service. These are typical policies that may be stated in terms of use or a privacy policy. Cloud services offer us great tools but it is important to be aware of our rights and the rights of the cloud service. Philip Bens has worked in Information Technolog y for 15 years. He currently is the Technolog y Coordinator at Cassadaga Valley Central School District.

Concord Pharmacy

Fredonia Pharmacist Opens Independent Pharmacy By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor

After researching 130 pharmacies and surveying 32,000 readers about their experiences at thousands of drugstores, Consumer Reports wrote that independent pharmacies provided the best overall value, including better service and lower prices than the major drug chains, beating them by what it called, “an eyepopping margin.”* In the article, “Independent Pharmacies Earn Top Scores from Consumer Reports Readers,” independents were found to offer swifter service at the counter and were more likely to have medications ready for pick-up when promised. It’s something CR Senior Editor Tod Marks sums up by exclaiming, “chalk one up for the little guy.” In addition, the article states that than 90% of Consumer Reports readers gave independent drug stores top scores across the board for pharmacists’ knowledge about drugs and other products, helpfulness and courtesy, speed, accuracy and personal service. Enter Greg Giambrone. After 29 years working for the big chains, the Fredonia pharmacist and resident decided it was time to bring more personalized service to the community. The decision led to the recent opening of Concord Pharmacy in Fredonia, which fills a niche Giam-

Pharmacist and Concord Pharmacy owner Greg Giambrone discusses an insurance question with Kandy Hemenger of Fredonia.

brone describes as simply “getting to know people, caring about their needs and the medicines they take.” “Through the years, I’ve had individuals tell me, ‘you should open up your own pharmacy.’ We lack independent and hometown pharmacies; everything is either a chain or a conglomerate.” An advantage of an independent is the one-on-one and knowing the people who come through the door - an invaluable service

most consumers are seeking that you just can’t put a price on. The second day after it opened, Kandy Hemenger of Fredonia stopped in to Concord Pharmacy with an insurance question. She has known Greg for a long time, and trusts him to answer questions regarding her health or insurance coverage with her best interests in mind. “We are a small town and like to stay with our small town people that care about us and our health,”

Hemenger says. I’ve known him (Giambrone) forever and know he is going to watch my health as well as my doctor.” Getting to know customers, their health issues and medicines can also avert a possible drug interaction, and this applies to overthe-counter drugs as well. Commenting on conversations she’s had with Giambrone, she says, “he knows what I can mix and match and what I take already.” “I have diabetes, so if I have a stomachache, he

might say…’well you don’t want to take that because of the sugar in it.’ It’s automatic to him.” Need another reason to go to Concord? Well, sometimes less is more. Along with personal service and a convenient location (near Routes 20 and 60), Giambrone adds “it’s not huge, where you will be searching all around for different items.” And that is appealing to those who want a quick pick-up or to the elderly, who have difficulty walking a long way

to pick up their medicinessomething the larger stores necessitate. The large parking area outside the store is still another convenience for customers. Concord Pharmacy is located at 10220 Route 60 in Fredonia (previously Verizon) and accepts most insurance plans. Hours are 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays. Its number is 716-672-8400. *www.consumerreports.org/ cro/2013/01/best-drugstores/ index.htm

Healing with Horses Walkathon March 17 at Chautauqua Mall Contributed Article Chautauqua Striders

Riders at Centaur Stride are saddling up for the Therapeutic Horseback Riding Center’s 4th Annual Healing with Horses walk-a-thon March 17, from 2 to 3 p.m. at the Chautauqua Mall. Registration is from 1:30 to 2 p.m. Located in Westfield, Centaur Stride has been providing programs to benefit people with disabilities in our region, enriching the lives of more than 150 children and adults with cognitive or physical challenges, as well as their families. Many riders have participated for many years, as there are very few activities they are able to enjoy, and even less that promote their physical and social wellbeing. The programs are labor intensive and require many people to assist. Therefore, each rider and family has the community to thank for the generous donations and volunteer support. The benefits of therapeutic horseback riding expand across physical, cognitive, emotional and social

domains. The joy experienced by family members just to see their child engaging in something that they are able to do is monumental. For example: “Riding a horse gives me a sense of freedom that I normally don’t have. I love the horses because they are so gentle yet they make me feel strong.” “As a mother of a special needs child, Centaur Stride has given me a sense of hope. Hope that my child can achieve milestones that the experts thought were unobtainable. I am truly grateful that this warm, friendly, and revolutionary center exists.” We hope you’ll consider hitting the trail with us by: Participating in the walk – Teams or individual walkers are welcome Sponsoring a rider or horse – $300 feeds a horse for a month Giving an in-kind donation – prizes, gift cards, materials, volunteering To pre-register or learn more about Centaur Stride call (716) 326-4318 or visit www.crowdrise.com/HealingwithHorses

The Section VI basketball championships are in the books and a large portion of the titles are coming back to Chautauqua County. On the boys’ side, Jamestown, Silver Creek and Sherman proved to be in a class of their own while the girls’ squads from Jamestown, Frewsburg and Sherman earned the right to be called champions. The Section VI Class D boys championship game was held Friday at Jamestown Community College and saw the No. 2 Sherman Wildcats knock off the topseeded Brocton Bulldogs, 40-27. Sherman jumped out to an early 7-0 lead in the game but Brocton used a huge second-half run to take an 18-15 lead at halftime. The Wildcats bounced back to outscore the Bulldogs 13-2 in the final stanza to claim the Class D championship and advance to the Far West Regionals, Saturday at 1:30 p.m. at the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester. In a rematch of last year’s Section VI Class C crossover championship game on Tuesday, Silver Creek got the last laugh as it downed OTC Middle College, 67-62 at Buffalo State College. OTC Middle College had defeated the Black Knights 58-57 in last season’s championship game. The No. 1 Black Knights emerged from Class C2 with their win over No. 3 Portville last Saturday at Jamestown Community College. The Silver Creek offense wasn’t as efficient

as it was all season in the 49-40 win, but its athletic defense was enough to get the job done for the second year in a row. Silver Creek’s Far West Regional game will be at the Blue Cross Arena at 2:45 p.m. The Jamestown Red Raiders are officially Section VI Class AA champions for the third time in four years thanks to their 46-39 win over No. 2 Niagara Falls, Saturday at Buff State.

points while sophomore Zack Panebianco added another 12. Again this was a rematch of last season’s championship game and again the team that lost last year came out on top this year. The Red Raiders await the winner from Section V and will play Saturday at 8:45 p.m. at the Blue Cross Arena. One local heartbreak was the Fredonia Hillbillies, who came up just short in their Section VI Class B2 final game against Buffalo East. John Piper netted 15 points and Dylan Meyer added another 12, but Fredonia fell, 65-56. The fourth-seeded Hillbillies

made some noise in the playoffs with their wins over No. 5 Akron and No. 1 CSAT before falling to No. 3 Buffalo East. The Jamestown Lady Red Raiders made it look easy on their way to the Far West Regionals. At Niagara County Community College on Tuesday, No. 1 Jamestown took it to No. 6 NiagaraWheatfield, 97-63. Karisha Tapia led the way with a game-high 26 points while Anna Campion added 19 and Rosa Valazquez accounted for another 18 points as the Lady Red Raiders poured it on all game long.

Sports Fishery Advisory Board Announces 21st Annual Essay Contest Submitted Article Sports Fishery Advisory Board

The Chautauqua County Sports Fishery Advisory Board has announced its 21st Annual Fishing Essay Contest for students in Chautauqua County. Last year, 392 students from 12 different schools participated in the essay contest and the Sports Fishery Advisory Board is eager to see how many students will participate this year. "The entries from our young students show that there continues to be a real interest in fi shing and lake ecology in Chautauqua County," said Sports Fishery Advisory Board Chairman Zen Olow. "We are encouraged by the number of kids that participate each year and we hope that the contest gets kids out fi shing.” The contest is for elementary and middle school students in Grades 3 through 6 and is open to all Chautauqua County students attending public, private, or home schools. Essays must follow this year’s topic: “Fishing Sounds Like Fun, Who Would I Like to Take Fishing with Me and Why?” All entries must be submitted by April 26, 2013 to: Chautauqua County Sports Fishery Advisory Board Office of the County Executive Gerace Office Building 3 North Erie Street Mayville, New York 14757 Entries can be submitted singly or together by class and must include the student's name, grade, teacher, and school. Teachers are also encouraged to submit their email addresses with their students' essays to allow for quick and easy communi-

cation during the school day about contest results and updates. Entries will be judged on originality, and teachers are encouraged to work with students by incorporating the essay writing into a teaching activity. All participants will receive a certificate and five winners from each grade will receive a fishing pole. Among these 20 winners, two Grand Prize Winners will be selected to go on a fishing trip with the County Executive this summer. Winners will be announced in early May and the two Grand Prize Winners will be recognized at the May 22nd County Legislature Meeting. Fishing is an important recreational activity for our county,” said Edwards. “Not only does it draw visitors from across the nation and contribute to our economy, but it creates fond memories for families and friends. The essay contest has been valuable to teachers and students in the past and I encourage all schools to participate in this year’s contest.” Later this year, Edwards will join local legislators and members of the Sports Fishery Advisory Board to visit each school that submitted entries and to present prizes to the winners. The Sports Fishery Advisory Board hopes that the essay contest can be an interesting educational experience for students, and helpful to the teachers. It is intended to promote an awareness of Chautauqua County's ecology, the factors that affect it and the role each student plays in maintaining its quality in the future.

Photos From Around The Section VI Playoffs

SECTIONAL VI CHAMPIONS CROWNED CONTINUED FROM PG 1 The journey continues for Jamestown as it will travel to take on Section V champion Gates-Chili at Buff State, Saturday at 3 p.m. The girls Section VI Class C2 finals was one for the ages with Frewsburg holding off Chautauqua Lake, 74-70, Saturday at Jamestown High School. “Our kids made big shots when they had to,” Frewsburg coach Jeff Colliver said after the win. “We seemed to be able to refocus when we needed to even when I was losing my mind a little bit. The kids really stayed together as a unit and understood what they needed to do.” Colliver probably would have lost his mind had his team blown its late lead. Frewsburg held a five-point lead with under three minutes to play, but Chautauqua Lake refused to go away, thanks in large part to the offensive rebounding of sophomore center Jenna Einink. “I love those kids,” Chautauqua Lake head coach Eric Schuster said. “They played their hearts out. (Frewsburg’s) press got us early. We dug ourselves a hole but we just battled and battled.” The Lady Thunderbirds were able to tie the game, 70-70, with 1:24 left on the clock when Einink made a gorgeous pass through multiple defenders that found Ashton Albanesious wide open under the basket for an easy layup. Annie Berg answered right back for the Lady Bears with a running layup on the ensuing possession to give Frewsburg a slim twopoint lead. A jump ball at the other end gave Frewsburg another possession and after an intentional foul, Shawna Raymond

Frewsburg’s magical ride came to an end on Tuesday with a 65-57 loss to Randolph at Jamestown High School in the Section VI Class C crossover championship game. With the win, Randolph advances to the Far West Regional game, Saturday at Buff State. Once again it was Randolph’s McKenna Maycock who did the bulk of the damage with 36 points, 13 rebounds and five assists. Raymond led Frewsburg with 20 points, eight rebounds, five assists and five steals. Frewsburg erased a 12-point second-half deficit to take a lead with six minutes left on the clock, but a 12-2 run by the Lady Cardinals put to rest any thoughts of glory for the Frewsburg held on for a thrilling win over Chautauqua Lake Lady Bears. in the Section VI Class C2 championship game.

SUHR SETS NEW INDOOR RECORD CONTINUED FROM PG 1 ''We thought, 'If I did that at nationals, the world record could be in danger,''' she said. Around that time, Rick Suhr had a heart-to-heart discussion with his wife. He had a similar one with her in London, telling her that nobody was unbeatable and she could knock off Isinbayeva. She went out and did just that. This time, the message wasn't so pleasant. After a so-so training session, he tersely told her that she just wasn't jumping ''anywhere near her potential'' and that she

could soar so much higher if she just believed in herself. Sure, she was upset. But she knew he might be on to something. Just before attempting the world record at nationals last Saturday, Jenn Suhr's mind began gravitating toward some negative thoughts: This is too high. This can't be cleared. As quickly as those thoughts arrived, she cast them aside. She flew down the runway and glided over the bar for the world mark, a big weight lifted off of her as she fell back

into the landing pad. ''I'm trying to think of a word to describe this feeling - excited, that's really the only word I can say,'' she said. Just a few years ago, Suhr known then as Stuczynski - was focused on scoring, not soaring. She was leading Roberts Wesleyan, a tiny liberal arts college in upstate New York, to the NAIA championship basketball game by averaging 24.3 points and 6.7 rebounds. It was her determination back then that caught the eye of Rick Suhr. Even at fi rst sight, he believed he could channel the skills of

Suhr, a tenacious 6-foot guard/forward, from the court into vaulting. She gave it a try, fi nding success right away as she won the NAIA indoor national title in 2005 by clearing just over 13 feet. She's been reaching new heights ever since, surpassing Isinbayeva's indoor mark. Next up, Isinbayeva's outdoor record of 16-7 1-4? ''It is a thought,'' said Suhr, whose best outdoor vault is 16-1 3/4. ''But I think I'll approach it like indoors - you don't want to call anything or make any predictions.''

Ironmen Split Two-Game Set With Warriors

Contributed Article Jamestown Ironmen

The Jamestown Ironmen have already clinched a playoff spot, but are still battling for position in the North Division with eight games left on their regular season schedule. The Ironmen hit the road this past weekend and split a two game series with the Michigan Warriors in North American Hockey League action. Jamestown squeaked out a 4-3 comeback victory on Friday night at the Perani Arena in Flint, Michigan. The Ironmen headed into the third period trailing 2-1 with a first-period goal supplied by Matt Lanzillotti with an assist from Joe Mottiqua. Jamestown proceeded to light up the scoreboard with three goals during the final period of regulation. Dylan Zink kicked off Jamestown’s surge with a powerplay goal, 6:05 into the third with assists from Tyler Dunagan and Ryan Urso to tie the game at 2-2. Just over a minute later, Evan Ritt netted a goal to give the Ironmen a 3-2 lead. Ritt’s score was assisted by Ryan

“Their goalie had a great night, and it cost us,” said Daikawa. “This weekend didn’t turn out exactly how we drew it up, but Michigan is better than their record indicates, they are a team that battles hard. I think we took the Warriors a bit lightly and it cost us a win on Saturday.” After the conclusion of the weekend’s NAHL schedule, Jamestown sits in third place in the North Division; four points behind the Soo The Jamestown Ironmen stayed within striking distance Eagles in first place and a in the North Division with a weekend split with Michigan. point back from the Kalam(Photo courtesy of Jamestown Ironmen) azoo Jr. K-Wings in second.

COMMENTARY CONTINUED FROM PG 1 Let’s take a look at some of the worst free agent signings ever. Albert Haynesworth, Redskins, 2009: Although the money (7 years, $100 million) was exorbitant, Haynesworth was a game-changer during his time in Tennessee and no one expected that to change. But then he showed up overweight and constantly clashed with Washington head coach Mike Shanahan. He was suspended by the team twice and eventually traded to the New England Patriots for cents on the dollar. Antwaan Randle El, Redskins, 2006: Get used to seeing the Redskins on this list. Dan Snyder is not the best owner in all of sports. Randle El established himself as a threat both catching the ball and returning punts in Pittsburgh, but scored only nine touchdowns (eight receiving, one punt return) in four years in Washington. Not horrible, but not worth the money he got. Deion Sanders, Redskins, 2000: Primetime had a magnificent career…before he got to Washington. The seven-year, $56 million deal he signed included an $8 million signing bonus. Sanders didn’t shift power in the NFC East the way Snyder hoped and ended up retiring after just one season with the Redskins. Of course, he came back and played for Baltimore a few years later. Javon Walker, Raiders, 2008: Walker, illiterate as he was, was a fantastic wide receiver for Brett Favre in Green Bay. In 2004 he caught 89 passes for nearly 1,400 yards and 12 touchdowns. In 2006, with Denver, Walker caught another 69 passes for over 1,000 yards. After missing most of 2007 with an injury, Oakland gave Walker a six-year, $55 million deal that netted them 15 catches and 196 yards total. Can you say bust? Adalius Thomas, Patriots, 2007: I know what you’re thinking: There’s no way Bill Belichick ever overpaid for a free agent. Well it happened when the Pats threw five years and

$35 million at Thomas. Call this another example of a linebacker who played next to Ray Lewis in Baltimore fooling people into thinking he was elite. Thomas was anything but elite before being released after the 2010 NFL Draft. Adam Archuleta, Redskins, 2006: Archuleta was a decent player in St. Louis. Apparently, Snyder figured ‘decent’ was worth seven years and $35 million. He was wrong…again. Archuleta never intercepted a pass in Washington, was reduced to a special teams player and was traded to Chicago, where he was released after one season. Jevon Kearse, Eagles, 2004: This one pains me because “The Freak” is one of my favorite players ever. Somewhere there’s a picture of him holding a ruler between his thumb and pinky. Unfortunately, like most one-dimensional players, opponents figured out how to slow down Kearse’s pass-rushing ability and the Eagles immediately regretted the eight years and $65 million they shelled out. Derrick Dockery, Bills, 2007: The seven years and $49 million the Bills handed out to Dockery made him the third-highest paid guard in the league history. I’m not sure who those other two were, but I’m sure they were better investments than the two lackluster years Dockery gave the Bills before his release in 2009.

Michael Vick, Eagles, 2011: I understand the first $100 million contract this guy signed before the dog fighting incident. He was the most marketable player in the league. He transformed the quarterback position. But how on Earth did Vick land a second $100 million deal? He was forced to renegotiate or be cut by the Eagles this offseason and he’s probably nothing more than a human turnover machine at this point. Edgerrin James, Cardinals, 2006: To be fair, Edge had a pair of 1,000yard season in Arizona, but the Cardinals had to expect more when they signed James away from the Colts. He was coming off back-to-back 1,500 yard seasons but saw his yards per carry drop from 4.6 in Indy to a meager 3.4 his first year in the desert. His touchdowns also dropped from 13 to 6. Call it the Peyton Manning Effect. These were just some of the most recent guys who popped into my head. There are plenty more examples of guys signing on the dotted line and laying an egg. Ahman Green for the Texans, Andre Rison for the Browns and former Super Bowl MVP Desmond Howard for the Raiders all could have made this list. Teams just don’t let great players walk away via free agency, but for some reason one man’s trash is truly another man’s treasure — or at least gets paid like it. The lesson here is don’t get too carried away with free agent signings. Buffalo fans probably started saving for playoff tickets when the Bills landed Mario Williams last offseason yet he probably would have made this list if not for an above-average second half. Great teams like the Patriots, Packers and Steelers are usually built through the draft, not free agency. When is the last time a Dan Snyderled team played in the Super Bowl? Yeah, that’s my point. Do you have any great examples of free agent busts — or free agent gems for that matter? Send me your thoughts to stefan. gestwicki@star-mediagroup.com

Linebacker Shawne Merriman is calling it ''Lights Out'' on his career. The three-time Pro Bowl selection and 2005 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year said on his website Tuesday night that he intends to file retirement papers. ''I retire today not because I don't feel I can go out there and still play the game at a very high level,'' Merriman wrote. ''I am retiring because I want to retire on my own terms and leave while I know I can still physically play the game.'' The team later confirmed Merriman's intentions in a text message and on its Twitter account. The 28-year-old Merriman also posted a note on his Twitter account, which included a link to his website (shawnemerriman.com). ''I have a very Big announcement,'' Merriman wrote. ''Thanks everybody.'' The decision comes a week before he was eligible to become a free agent, and after spending parts of the past three seasons in Buffalo. That included last year, when he was cut by the Bills in August only to be resigned by Buffalo in October to help address the team's injury-riddled defense. Merriman had expressed surprise he went unsigned for the first six weeks of last season. He returned to the Bills with a noticeably sunburnt face, sheepishly explaining he had fallen asleep on the beach after working out at his home in Miami. In signing a one-year $700,000 contract, Merriman fi nished last season with 17 tackles and one sack in 10 games, includ-

ing one start. That was a marked drop-off for a player who became an instant NFL star after being selected by San Diego 12th overall in the 2005 draft. Combining for 39 1/2 sacks in his first three seasons with the Chargers, Merriman earned the nickname ''Lights Out'' as one of the league's fiercest pass rushers. A series of injuries, however, caught up to him, and he was particularly bothered by a sore right Achilles tendon. It's an injury that led to the Chargers waiving him during the 2010 season. The Bills acquired his rights soon after, but Merriman never made it past his first practice in Buffalo after aggravating the injury. Each offseason in Buffalo, Merriman declared himself to be fully healthy, and ready to regain his dominant form. Last spring, Merriman compared himself to Benjamin Button, the fictional movie character who aged in reverse. ''I feel young,'' he said. ''Anybody that will get a chance to watch me this year will see I'm moving around as I did when I came into the league.'' Merriman was limited to 18 games over his fi nal three seasons. And he fi nished with 45 1/2 career sacks in 75 games, including 59 starts. Merriman also made headlines for his on- and off-field troubles. ''I feel truly blessed to have been part of the NFL, and to have had the opportunity of a lifetime,'' Merriman wrote. ''I will continue to train with some of the guys not because of football, but it's part of my Lifestyle.''


BUFFALO SABRES

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 2013

CANES SWEEP SABRES IN SEASON SERIES CONTINUED FROM PG 1 Carolina was playing for the first time since Ward went on injured reserve following a torn MCL that will require a recuperation of six to eight weeks. ''Tonight we came out ready to go and set the tempo at the start,'' Carolina coach Kirk Muller said. ''Our first two periods were good and then we got into a trap of letting our guard down. Justin is a competitor. You look at his career and he's learning all the time. He knows it's going to be more than one game. He was ready for a big game and took advantage of it.'' Peters, recalled from Charlotte of the AHL, had 37 saves in his first start of the season for the Hurricanes. ''Every day in the NHL is awesome,'' said Peters, who was 22-12-1 with a 2.29 goals-against average and two shutouts for the Checkers. ''You watch Cam Ward play and he's so calm and cool back there, I just try and learn from guys like him watching them on TV. His demeanor back there really feeds a lot to the bench.'' Carolina, which has won four straight games, completed a sweep of the three-game season series with the Sabres. Staal picked up his 600th NHL point with the first of his two assists on the night on Jiri Tlusty's goal in the first period. Joe Corvo and Jussi Jokinen also scored for Carolina. ''That top line has got to be one of the top lines in the game,'' Muller said. ''They're plus-players and they produce. They set the tempo a lot of nights, and they're tough to handle down low. They have great chemistry.'' Cody Hodgson scored twice and T.J. Brennan had a goal for the Sabres. Ryan Miller had 24 saves. Carolina's top line struck quickly, with Tlusty beating Miller glove side from the slot on Staal's centering pass just 91 seconds into the game. Semin had

opening period. Corvo made it 2-0 with a power-play goal on a blast from the left point at 12:17 of the second. Peters' best save came with 1:17 left in the second, when he stopped Thomas Vanek's shot in the crease with the barrel of his stick. Vanek was back in the Buffalo lineup after missing two games with a lower-body injury.

The record continues to grow. 2) Anaheim Ducks 15-3-3 Two OT losses, but the Ducks should get back on track against Flames and Wild this week. 3) Boston Bruins 14-3-3 Top pointscorer is Brad Marchand at 48th in the league, but you can’t argue with success. 4) Montreal Canadiens 14-5-4 The Habs have earned an incredible 70 percent of available points this year. 5) Pittsburgh Penguins 15-8-0 It’s not Crosby or Malkin but James Neal who leads the team with five game-winning goals. 6) Los Angeles Kings 12-7-2 Tuesday’s 6-4 win was their seventh straight victory over the St. Louis Blues. 7) Vancouver Canucks 11-6-5 Roberto Luongo (2.19 GAA) is making a strong case for more playing time. 8) Toronto Maple Leafs 14-9-0 Matt Frattin has an amazing seven goals on only 18 shots on goal (38.9 percent). 9) Detroit Red Wings 11-8-4 There isn’t one stat that Detroit wows in, but the sum is always greater than the parts. 10) Ottawa Senators 12-7-4 A terrible week (0-1-2) isn’t helpful in a brutally tight Northeast Division. 11) San Jose Sharks 11-6-4 The Sharks have no bite — a league-low 50 goals scored is the No. 1 concern right now. 12) Carolina Hurricanes 13-8-1 Four wins in a row has established Carolina as the leastterrible team in the Southeast. 13) New York Rangers 11-8-2 Three win = nice. Watching one of your star players get hit in the face with a puck = not. 14) New Jersey Devils 10-8-5 Losses are piling up (0-3-1 this week) and the Devils are falling farther behind Pittsburgh. 15) Phoenix Coyotes 11-8-3 They certainly pepper goalies.

NHL Suspends Kaleta Five Games For Boarding Contributed Article Associated Press

The NHL suspended Buffalo's Patrick Kaleta for five games Monday, its stiffest punishment of the season. The Sabres forward shoved Rangers center Brad Richards from behind and into the boards on Sunday night. The suspension will cost the gritty right winger more than $72,000 in salary, and he won't be eligible to return until March 17, when the Sabres play at Washington. The ruling came down a day after Kaleta blindsided Richards in the back and sent him sliding headfirst into the boards in the third period of Buffalo's 3-2 shootout loss at New York. Kaleta was assessed a major penalty for boarding and a game misconduct, which resulted in an automatic review by the league's department of player safety.
