Celebrating Leadership Development Chautauqua Leadership Network Marks 20 Years

by Patricia Pihl Star News Writer

It is said that good leaders are made, not born. For 20 years Chautauqua Leadership Network has been in the business of identifying and nurturing area leaders. With this year’s class, CLN will have added 467 to its roster of graduates, providing the training that has given members the tools to become successful business and community leaders. According to Susan Bobek, Co-Chair of CLN’s Public Relations Committee, hallmarks of the CLN leadership curriculum include team building, handling conflicts, learning to “think outside the box,” and how to communicate and work more effectively with different personalities and styles. She adds that the organization is also a great way for businesses to invest in their employees, as they adopt effective strategies which boost productivity and help bring greater assets to their respective companies or organizations. Leadership ‘Retreat Each class year starts with a two and a half day leadership retreat. The retreat provides a means for participants to learn about their leadership style in a non-threatening environment through various activities and team building exercises.

WCA Home Receives Assisted Living License by Patricia Pihl Star News Writer

WCA Home of Fredonia has recently received licensing from New York State to provide Assisted Living Services, making it the only provider of its kind to women in Northern Chautauqua County. The facility sought licensing in 2009 allowing it to provide 23 of its 37 beds to residents who need more assistance, providing a choice other than a nursing home for people who are medically stable but might need assistance with personal hygiene, transfer ambulation, medication and other issues. Nursing and Assisted Living Director Lori Poniatowski said the licensing provides an option that offers a continuum of care and an extended service beyond what the adult home can provide. She adds, “we are happy to be able to offer that to the people in our area.” The benefits, according to Poniatowski, mean greater independence to residents for a longer period of time. WCA Administrator Tammy Skelly and Poniatowski saw the need to provide the additional services to residents and community members seeking long term managed care in

the future. In 2009, they began the application process with the New York State Department of Health. “We decided this is something we needed to look into in Northern Chautauqua County, as there was no assisted living program beds for residents in the community,” Poniatowski added. Some of the other benefits of ALP according to WCA Home, is that it provides a continuum of housing and services for residents, eliminat-

ing the need for multiple relocations when increasing frailties require higher levels of care. ALP is also a valuable option for people who can no longer live successfully at home and need more care than other senior or family housing options can provide. For residents with Alzheimer’s Disease or other dementia conditions, ALP’s can provide a safe, secure living environment with appropriate care.

dizes the additional ALP services, including personal care, home care, therapies and short-term nursing services. “That is the very important piece in all of this”, says Poniatowski. “The assisted living program is a medicaid eligible program. That means that it is an option for all individuals no matter what their income.” Poniatowski adds, “We are able to work with residents in house to obtain the funding they need.” Overall, it is estimated that assisted living programs are approximately 50 percent less costly than nursing home programs. Interested persons and their families can schedule a meeting or tour by calling 716-672-7961. An open house is also scheduled for Tuesday, March 20 from 6 to 8 p.m. WCA Home is located at 134 Temple Street in Fredonia. Questions regarding the ALP level of care can also be directed to WCA Home Administrator Tammy Skelly at wcatammy@netsync.net.

Stargazing The weather seems to indicate that spring, by all definitions, has sprung. With this comes the warmer nights of course, to do something I’ve always enjoyed- stargazing. I’m not an astronomer by any definition- I don’t even have a telescope. But I do find great joy in standing outside on a cool night and staring at the marvel of God’s heavenly creation. As you may be aware- this year is an exciting one for stargazers and those fascinated by the wonder of

Scott Wise Commentary

based on their ever-widening understanding of the laws of physics. They have it so mapped out, in fact, that they can postulate the next Venus transit to occur in the year 2117, over a century from now. As our knowledge of the universe continues to grow, I think we begin to realize how truly small we are in the grand scheme of things. What a truly humbling experience to gaze at the stars that expand for billions and trillions of light years, far beyond our

best viewing for a few years. I think what fascinates me the most about the stars and galaxies is how much- and how little- we really know. For instance, scientists at NASA can predict, down to the day, a celestial event that happens on average twice a century. This year happens to be one of the years that Venus transit will occur, or a moment that Venus passes directly between the Earth and the Sun. The event will take place on June 5, something scientists are able to calculate

the cosmos. According to foxnews.com, “Beginning (March 12), the two brightest planets in the sky will be so close together that you’ll be able to block both of them out with a few fingers held at arm’s length. The celestial action peaks Thursday (March 15), when Venus and Jupiter line up in what’s known as a planetary conjunction.” The article goes on to say that this event does happen every 13 months, but that for those of us in the northern hemisphere this will be the

wildest dreams. There’s a verse in Isaiah that says God’s ways and thoughts are higher than ours. For the expansive history of humanity, the stars have fascinated us. I think of my son, Joshua, and how I would do anything I could just to see a look of fascination on his face. Next time you’re tempted to question the reality of heavenly love and joy; simply take a gander at the night sky.

Sales Tax Exemption on Clothing Under $110 to be Reinstated Contributed Article Office of the Chautauqua County Executive

Chautauqua County Executive Gregory Edwards would like to remind businesses and residents that on Sunday, April 1, 2012 clothing under $110 will once again be tax exempt. In an effort to increase the state’s revenue for two years, the New York State Legislature enacted a 2010-11 State Budget in August of 2010 that repealed the sales tax exemption on clothing and footwear under $110. By amending the sales and use tax law, the State Legislature created a three phased change to sales tax exemption that would affect counties across New York State and eventually restore

the tax exemption to its previous amount. “The State has modified its tax policy on numerous occasions as to the sales tax exemption on clothing,” said County Executive Greg Edwards. “The County policy has not changed but businesses need to be aware of this upcoming modification so that they may act accordingly.” The first phase, from October 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011, eliminated the sales tax exemption on clothing and footwear. This was projected by the New York State Division of Budget to raise $330 million in revenue for the State’s fiscal year 2010-11. The second phase, from April 1, 2011 to March 31, 2012, provided an exemption on clothing or footwear that is

less than $55 per item or pair. This was projected by the NYS Division of Budget to raise $210 million in revenue for the State’s fiscal year 2011-12. The third and final phase will begin on April 1, 2012 and it will restore the original exemption on clothing and footwear items that are less than $110. The State currently applies a 4% state sales tax on all clothing and footwear items that exceed the sales tax exemption and Chautauqua County does not charge a county sales tax on any clothing or footwear items.

A show by members of the professional organization for county art teachers has become an annual tradition at Prendergast Library. “Every year, it’s exciting for students and their parents to see new art work that has been created by local teachers,” Ms. Carlson said. The school-library partnership provides a showcase for

Men can choose from suits, dress shirts and pants, and tuxedo rentals for that special occasion.

Lander’s also serves as Jamestown’s Wrangler Headquarters featuring Wrangler Jeans in various styles and sizes. Customers will find urban hoodies, leather belts, Jamestown tee shirts and

Artists from Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Counties will be featured during the final Salon in conjunction with the Women Create art exhibit on Wednesday, March 21, from 7-9 pm. The Salon will be held in the Third on Third Gallery, 116 East Third Street, next to the Reg Lenna Civic Center in downtown Jamestown, where the exhibit runs through March 31. At the informal gathering, Anne Conroy-Baiter of Allegany, Barbara Fox of Little Valley, Jill Johnston of Fredonia, and Kathleen Tenpas of Panama will give brief talks about their work, interspersed with questions, answers, and conversation. The women’s presentations will focus on their works on display and their personal philosophies and perspectives on art. Anne Conroy-Baiter is exhibiting “On the Fly,” a watercolor

on stretched paper. She plans to start a discussion by sharing how her roles as mother, professional, freelancer, and artist directly affect both the subjects and techniques of her artwork. Barbara Fox’s watercolor “Sweetness and Light” is an example of her belief that no matter what the subject, a painting should incorporate beauty and technical fluency, be compelling and foster further investigation. A prolific painter, workshop leader, and designer for the U.S. Mint, she looks forward to this informal talk about what motivates and inspires her. “Red Garden 5,” Jill Johnston’s mixed media print, is part of a five-image series produced after she read Alice Hoffman’s The Red Garden through the haze of pneumonia. She observes that, “My artwork explores the narrative format through animation, drawing, painting, filmmaking, and photography.” A quilted fabric painting with photo and patchwork,

“August’s Bitter Gold” demonstrates that while Kathleen Tenpas dabbles in a variety of media, much of her work ends up on fabric. She says that, “My art is born of my connection to the land, our farm, our woods, my gardens.” Also a poet, for her presentation she’s picked the title “Poetry in Fabric.” There is no charge for this Salon sponsored by Creative Arts of Women, WNY Chapter, but donations are gratefully accepted. The Women Create exhibit is presented in cooperation with the Arts Council for Chautauqua County. Regular hours are 10 a.m.-4 p.m., MondayFriday until the closing reception on Saturday, March 31. For viewing by appointment, contact Len Barry at (716) 664-2465, ext. 227. Events are also planned from morning to evening on SWAN (Support Women Artists Now) Day, Saturday, March 31.

Student Night Promotions Planned at Two DFT Tech Plus Stores

Judges Deliberate

Woman of the Year Decision Underway

Current College Students and High School Seniors To Get Special Offers Contributed Article DFT Tech Plus

DFT Communications is sponsoring two “Student Night” promotions at its Technology Plus Stores in Fredonia and Lakewood next Tuesday and Thursday evenings. These events are targeted at current college students and high school seniors who have recently been accepted for admission to colleges for Fall, 2012. Students and their families can enjoy refreshments and test-drive a number of laptop computers and tablets to find the one that will best suit their college needs. DFT Tech Plus offers name brands like Dell, Asus and Acer. DFT’s technical sales staff will be available to answer questions and assist with reviewing requirements for laptops and software, and can configure customized laptops as well. Students will be offered discounted prices for a limited time. The “Student Night” promotions were developed by two of DFT Communicationsí

interns. Mike Santoli and Mike Leshley, who are current Fredonia State students, felt a special evening event would allow for a relaxed and comfortable introduction to all of DFT’s product lines for students who must have the latest technology available for their higher education pursuits. “We think DFT has great technology to showcase. There are no high-pressure sales at the stores. Students can ask questions and find the best fit for their college needs,” Santoli said. “The key to purchasing from DFT Tech Plus,” according to Leshley “is that there is support after the sale. Students and their families can be comfortable knowing there is someone local who can help after the purchase.” As a thank you for visiting the stores, students will be eligible to win a Coby Kyros 7-inch Android tablet. They will be given a free coupon for a computer system optimization, a $75 value, and a number of other giveaways will be offered during the evening events.

Celeron Mayor Speaks on History of Park Tells Group Babe Ruth ‘“Hit Home Run Into Chautauqua Lake”

Contributed Article Rodeo City Senior Citizens

Celoron Mayor Jack Keeney recently presented a special program on the history of Celeon Park during the monthly luncheon of The Rodeo City Senior Citizens. In the presentation made by Keeney, the Celoron Mayor outlined its history, saying that the village was established in 1896 and is the home of Lucille Ball and the historic Celoron Park; although Celoron itself dates back to the 1700’s. In his presentation, Mr. Keeney said that the Celoron Park was in operation from 1894 through 1962. “There were many changes over those

years,” he said. The park was a place for music, included a zoo, a band shell, was the site of the Hotel DeCeloron from 1893 to 1914, and the famous “Phoenix wheel”, along with many other amusements. The Phoenix wheel, he said, had 20 cages for people to sit in and each cage could hold up to 20 people. In 1921, Babe Ruth hit a home-run into Chautauqua Lake. The park buildings had the Moorish architecture used in many of its buildings, and there were 15 personal picnic stands overlooking the lake. Keeney added that the park quickly grew in popularity and on July 4, 1897, some 57,000 people were in attendance. As part of its regular business meeting, trip wagon

master Winston Bartholomew reported that the April bus tour is nearly filled, and that a new one day bus tour on the Hiawatha Paddlewheel Riverboat luncheon cruise on the Susquehanna River in Williamsport, Pa. is being planned for mid-August. The tour will also include a stop at the new Peter Herdic Transportation Museum. Sign up sheets for the boat tour will be available at the next meeting. The next luncheon meeting and program will be on the second Friday in April at noon. Guest speaker will be Sue Colgrove from St. Susan’s. New members are always welcome.

Local Summer Camps Provide Fun Challenges for Children By Morgan Stewart Star News Writer

Stashed away in the back of a closet in my parents’ house is a box of dog-eared photographs that collectively map out my childhood. Among those snapshots of birthday parties long forgotten and unfortunate fourth-grade haircuts, there is a small stack of some of my favorite photos in the box, ones from a week I spent at Camp Onyahsa when I was about 12. In the first moments my eyes scan each picture, I marvel at what a brutal week it appears to have been: tears at the departure of my parents, sunburns, early morning wake-up calls, fields turned soggy by downpours. But then, I notice something miraculous, the reason I keep the photos at all: in each, above my ill-fitting rain poncho, I’m wearing an enormous grin. “Camp is good for a lot of kids because it takes them out of their comfort zone. Away from T.V., computers, video games, away from their parents and all of the luxuries of home,” said Lacey Gollnitz, a former counselor at the Chautauqua Hills Camp in Gerry. “All of the campers are at first strangers, but by the end of the week, they’re family.”

Summer camp is for many children their first time away from home, and whether to enroll can prove to be a daunting decision. With the number of youth programs provided across Chautauqua County-- not to mention the beautiful outdoor amenities offered by Western New York, like Lake Chautauqua and Allegheny State Park-potential campers and parents alike should take the time to browse what’s available this summer and educate themselves on the benefits of making such a leap. In an article published last month in Psychology Today, Dr. Michael Ungar, who boasts a Ph.D. in Nurturing Resilience, wrote that “Summer camps, we discovered,

are perfect places to help children optimize their psychosocial development. After all, summer camps are places where children get the experiences they need to bolster their range of coping strategies.” In an environment as foreign as a summer camp, children must test the ways they psychologically respond to new experiences and relationships. With every swing of a t-ball bat or introduction to a fellow cabin member, campers develop confidence in approaching the unfamiliar and in forging their own identities. “A residential camping experience helps build developmental aspects, gets campers away from home and gives them access to other adults who care and listen to them,”

said John Mann, a representative of the Catholic Diocese of Buffalo-operated Camp Turner in Allegheny State Park. Through an assortment of games, crafts and athletics, summer camps allow for a fun continuation of the mental and physical exercise the school year provides. “Keeping children engaged intellectually [in the summer] can help them practice the skills they learned throughout the year, which contributes to retention,” said Ronda Piazza, Child Care Executive of the Jamestown YMCA. “We also are cognizant of the physical needs of children throughout the summer when weight gain can occur because children may not have

access to safe places to play and be physically active.” As nerve-wracking as it initially may be for children to leave the proverbial nest, summer camp is a good way to ease them into being away from home for short periods of time: “I felt like [my children] needed to get away from the house and meet new friends. They were young and I felt [summer camp] was perfect. They had so much fun,” said Beth Ray, a mother who has sent two children to Camp Gross in Cassadaga. For parents who would prefer to keep their children closer to home, the YMCA along with several Parks and Recreation departments across Chautauqua County offer day programs that provide many of the same activities as sleep-away camps. “I enjoyed [day camp] because it kept me outside with my friends and gave me the opportunity to play games I wouldn’t have played otherwise,” said Michael Gorka, who attended a free summer program at Fredonia’s Lambert Street playground for several years. Throughout Western New York, parents and their potential campers have an endless assortment of camps to choose from; besides

those already mentioned, there’s the Bella Vista Campgrounds in Jamestown, the Girl Scouts’ Camp Seven Hills in Holland and St. Vincent de Paul Children’s Camp in Angola, open to all denominations. For further information about a program, parents should consult the particular camp’s website. If cost is an issue, many camps provide information about financial aid online, as well. When my parents came and picked me up at the end of the week at Onyahsa, I cried again-- this time because I didn’t want to leave. Even as shy a child as myself was able to work through her inhibitions-- to step outside of the comfort zone, as Gollnitz put it. I don’t keep in touch with anyone I met that summer, but I hold onto their memories that, even as they blur a bit with age, are forever immortalized in a box of old photographs. I’ll never forget how much fun I had and how much experience I gained in only a handful of rainy July days. I was so fit to burst with stories upon my return, in fact, that my parents couldn’t take the incessant chatter and finally handed me a notebook. So I sat down and I began to write.

Flavor of the Week – Buster Brown Bean Company’s Cafe and Bistro 2012 By Dusten Rader Entertainment Editor

After almost a year of service to the community of Chautauqua County Buster Brown Bean Company’s cafe and bistro in Fredonia is doing better than ever. The restaurant features a new standardized menu and specialty gourmet home cooked meals that will impress any food connoisseur. “So far it’s been a good year and we’ll have a celebration in May for our anniversary,” said co-owner David Culver. “Being a restaurant in general is a struggle and being a new restaurant is even more of a struggle. Plus, we’re in a small town that is a blue collar community so we’ve had to try and adjust to that. But, you do what you have to do and we’ve all learned a lot over the course of the year. We’ve been able to evolve to what people are asking for. And, I’ve had the opportunity to meet so many great members of the community.” Owners Culver and Greg Wollaston have teamed up with general manager Pete Moll to create a place where customers can enjoy high quality dishes in a comfortable atmosphere. By day the restaurant hosts an ambiance similar to a coffee shop that serves coffee, espresso, tea and smoothies in addition to bistro style lunch options. And, by night it is transformed into a classy fine dining experience that serves gourmet meals on fresh linens in candlelight. “It’s awesome to see customers come in twice or three times a week,” said Culver. “We love our repeat customers and try to get to know them.” Culver and Wollaston try to source everything as local and as fresh as possible. During the growing season fresh produce is used in all the dishes and throughout the year local meat is also utilized. Many of the dishes are made from scratch with high quality local ingredients. The menu features a wide variety of recipes that Culver has worked hard to create. He has attempted to create a standardized menu that allows for a plethora of protein and non-meat items. Those with food allergies or dietary preferences are able to enjoy a delicious meal alongside their carnivorous companions. Culver recommends vegetarians try the hummus and roasted vegetable wrap or the carrot ginger soup that he calls liquid gold because it won second place at last year’s Taste of Fredonia. “We made some changes because we wanted to make our dinner experience more

successful,” said Culver. “So, we’re trying to create a standardized menu that has favorites and introduces new things as well.” One of the new additions to the menu is the Haddock Fish Fry. It is only available Thursday through Saturday but usually sells out by Friday evening. The fish is always fresh and never frozen. The dish includes fried Haddock with a starter salad, homemade coleslaw, tarter sauce and hand cut potato wedges for $14.95. It can be ordered one of four ways including beer battered, panko custard and pan fried, blackened or white wine and butter broiled. On Friday there is a special that includes a beer battered haddock, potato wedges and coleslaw for $9.95. “My coleslaw is not like any other,” said Culver. “It’s a broccoli slaw that includes cabbage, mayonnaise, DeGolier maple vinegar, apple, bacon and a smokey flavor. Also on Friday nights we have live music and sometimes a singing waiting staff.” The restaurant is also currently featuring Prime Angus Reserve served on a bed of truﬄe mashed potatoes with a side of French cut green beans

or asparagus. A different cut is featured each week. “We get a really good price on it so we’re able to pass that onto the customers,” said Culver. “We’ve been able to keep the plate under $20 which is really good for Prime Angus.” While enjoying dinner guests can also savor a local brewed beer or crafted wine from businesses like Southern Tier Brewing Company, Merritt Estate Winery, Woodbury Winery and Liberty Vineyards. The majority of the baking is done by Culver. His creations like the gooey pies have won awards and his red velvet cupcakes are a must try for any dessert lover. He also takes orders for custom pastries and cakes for special occasions. Culver’s unique talents have been recognized by Buffalo’s CW 23. He has appeared on the network’s “Winging It! Buffalo Style” and will continue to be a regular on the show in the future. On the show he showcases many of the recipes that are available at the restaurant and anything not on the menu he puts on special in the weeks following. The show is available via stream at busterbrownbeanco.

com. “The show jives a lot with what we do at the cafe and bistro,” said Culver. “We try to be a globally conscious and sustainable company that produces very little waste. And, the point of that show is to teach people how to take a recipe and use the leftovers

so that nothing goes to waste. I think the members of the community really like it a lot. We’re actually beginning to get people coming down from Lockport and Hamburg because they’ve seen the show. And, whenever someone comes in from out of town I try to go to their table and

introduce myself.” Culver’s expertise is available for hire via in home cheffing and catering. He doesn’t believe in using a set catering menu. He meets with each customer individually and finds out what they like and makes something to suit their preferences. Culver believes that hosting events that bring the community together in celebration is an important part of running a local business. So, he is always bringing in live musicians and artists. He also hosts events like the Zombie Prom for Halloween and Women, Rock and Soul. Culver also believes it is important to support local businesses so he hosts a Ladies Night every third Thursday of each month. During the event a local female owned and operated business is asked to host a display that features the services they offer. There is usually live music, prizes and coupons available. According to Culver, Buster Brown Bean Company is a business that seeks to be sustainable. “We consider ourselves a globally conscious company,” said Culver. “Our Modus Operandi is basically that you do what you can in order to have a positive impact on the Earth and the things living on it.” The cafe and bistro is located at 33 Church Street in Fredonia and is open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday through Wednesday and Thursday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information visit busterbrownbean. com, for daily specials find them on facebook and twitter or call 716-672-6622.

2nd Annual Chautauqua in June Learning Festival Announced Contributed Article Stephanie Burdo

Visitors to southwestern New York in June will encounter both fun and learning during Chautauqua in June, a threeweek learning festival, May 25 through June 17, 2012, featuring experiences in gardening, creative, cultural, and culinary arts, outdoor recreation, and history and heritage. Workshops are held across Chautauqua County, a century old destination for lifelong and vacation learning, summer camp, and workshops. The Chautauqua County Visitors Bureau in southwestern New York State announces the second annual Chautauqua in June, a learning festival held in the tradition of lifelong learning popularized by Chautauqua Institution more than 138 years ago. Visitors as well as residents can register for classes and learn landscaping techniques, take lessons in creating artwork and crafts, join guided walking tours, discover new hobbies like birding or biking, and expand their knowledge of local foods, wine, and beer. The three week schedule from May 25 through June 17, 2012 includes more than 50 different workshops in gardening, creative, cultural, and culinary arts, outdoor recreation, and history and heritage. Classes are held in both indoor and outdoor classrooms across Chautauqua County. Many of the favorite activities from the first Chautauqua in June will return this year. Julie and Steve Rockcastle, organic farmers from Green Heron Growers, will again offer Fun with Fungus, a Shiitake mush-

room growing workshop. Several wineries and local chefs will host winemaker’s dinners or wine making experiences such as a Boot Camp with Liberty Winery, Double A Vineyards, and Walkers Farm where participants will learn to choose and plant grape vines, make their own wine, and select wines to serve with dinner. Johnson Estate Winery will head outside with Nass Daylily Farm, cultivators of over 350 varieties of daylilies, to teach propagating skills, while Sara Baker Michalak, a natural gardener and artist, will introduce students to cottage gardening at Lana’s The Little House, a Cotswold style cottage. Local artists Thomas Annear, Audrey Dowling, and James Hoggard will teach painting and photography techniques out in the field. Experiences new to the June festival include kayaking and paddling, standing up or sitting down, along with cycling and geologic tours of the region. Tea tastings are prominent on the menu of offerings this year, along with farm-to-table, locavore, and Amish cultural events. There will be opportunities for sewing, knitting, and spinning yarn, and even a workshop in film animation.

March “Soup and a Song” to Feature Kidder Alive Contributed Article Jamestown St. Susan Center

Jamestown’s St. Susan Center will continue the monthly “Soup and a Song” series of programs combining concerts by popular local musical groups with an “open-mic” on Friday, March 16. For the modest admission price of $10, attendees will be treated to an evening of fine live musical entertainment and a meal consisting of hearty soup, several varieties of breads, crackers, desserts, coffee, tea and hot chocolate. Proceeds from the Soup and a Song series will benefit St. Susan Center, Jamestown’s soup kitchen, which in 2011 served over 95,000 meals to a diverse client base that extends beyond the unemployed and homeless to

include young parents, teens, seniors, children and persons who are challenged physically, mentally or emotionally. “The demands on St. Susan Center are greater than ever. During the month of February we served 24% more meals than the previous year.,” explained Sue Colwell, executive director. “ I am extremely thankful for the support of our community; we could not make it without you!” Logistical support for the Soup and a Song program is being provided by Trinity Guitars, the Jamestown-based purveyor of fine stringed instruments and audio gear. Trinity Guitars owner, Jim Holler, will be coordinating the talent for the events, as well as providing the sound system. WRFA’s Jason Sample will return as the Master of Ceremonies.

The Soup and a Song events will be held at St. Susan Center’s facility at Gateway Center, also known to Jamestown residents as the former Chautauqua Hardware Building,

at 31 Water Street. The public will be admitted beginning at 6:00 pm, with the openmic segment of the programs beginning at 6:30. Featured entertainers will begin playing

at 7:40 pm, and the events will conclude at 9:00pm. Featured performers on March 16 is the Kidder UMC praise band, Kidder Alive. “Kidder church is committed to St. Susan Center through financial support, but this event allows us to share our talents to build up their ministry.” Said Kidder Pastor Rick LaDue. “We’ll worship, have fun and raise money for a vital need. Everybody wins!” Kidder Alive features Steve Swanson, Bob Servis, Valerie Murphy, Jason Tonon, Dick Gould, Bonnie Sleight, Holler and LaDue. Trinity Guitars owner Jim Holler is pleased with the turnouts and the effectiveness of the Soup and Song Events: “ As we close out the 2012 version of “Soup and A Song” I am thankful for all the

musicians who have donated there time and talents. We have had fun, made some new friends and raised money and awareness for St Susan Center.

SUNY Fredonia Environmental Sciences program to partner with famous Tall Ship for Great Lakes study Contributed Article SUNY Fredonia

One of the nation’s most well-known maritime icons, the Flagship Niagara, will partner with SUNY Fredonia this summer to offer undergraduates an unparalleled environmental science field experience. Students will spend three weeks sailing — and living — on the historic vessel. The voyage will take participants to some of the most environmentally sensitive areas within three of the five Great Lakes as students, faculty and other researchers participate in the first-ever plastics pollution study. From July 11 to 31, students will sail across lakes Erie, Huron and Superior, and live in an environment reminiscent of the original Niagara — a War of 1812 warship. Meals are cooked on a real woodburning stove and everyone sleeps in hammocks. Students will also learn how to sail the ship by participating in a variety of day-to-day activities. The general public is also invited to join the SUNY Fredonia voyage, as well as

Social Media Training Oﬀered To many people, the term “Social Media” equates to Facebook and Twitter. In reality, it goes much further than that – truly speaking to a type of networking that used to happen only face-to-face and now happens digitally. For social media to be effective for business, it requires a new type of strategic thinking, and an integration of business websites with Facebook, Twitter, blog sites, YouTube, LinkedIn, Google+, and more. That doesn’t even speak to the issue of online sales, through a variety of sites, or the fact that much of this networking now occurs on tablet computers and phones. While some businesses have embraced these new tech-

nologies, others fear it. But the Center for Continuing Education and the Small Business Development Center at Jamestown Community College are working to help business people cut through the e-clutter and figure out how to make social media work in their favor. Social Media Day at JCC will be held Wednesday, March 28th, with a focus on electronic networking for business. Topics will include Writing for Your Website, Branding, iPad for Business, Non-Traditional Marketing, and Blogging for Business. If you have a website or Facebook page for your business, you will want to attend this important event. The event will run from 9am-4pm.

The cost is $54 per person, including lunch. It will be held at the Carnahan Center on JCC’s Jamestown campus. In addition, grant funding from the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation, the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation, and the Knight Foundation, is allowing the Chamber of Commerce to help even further. As a follow-up to the one-day event, Chautauqua County businesses will be able to participate in trainings specific to certain social media sectors in the months ahead.

two other distinct voyages that will take place from May 31 to June 19 and from June 22 to July 12. While the ship charges tuition for its three-week voyages, the experience remains one of the most affordable opportunities of its kind in the United States. The Flagship Niagara is one of the largest tall ships in North America, and is well regarded as the most historically authentic. It is a reproduction of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry’s victorious flagship from the Battle of Lake Erie. The current Niagara was built in 1988 and is home ported at

the Erie Maritime Museum in Erie, Pa. It is operated by the Flagship Niagara League and owned by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Instead of making new prints, I decided to live with it and ran Tim Holtz Distress Ink in “Vintage Photo” around the edges to remove the bright white. I added photo tape to the top three-quarters of each one and adhered them into my book. My corner rounder punch is currently on loan, so upon its return I’ll clip the lower corners and add another piece of adhesive to finish the layout. The journaling reads : “As the days grow longer, the sunset moves farther East every night.” I’m happy with the font simple, handwriting-inspired and easy to read, but not with the layout itself. I think that this may have been better with a smaller, vertically-oriented photo rather than the large, horizontal one I chose. Maybe I’ll like it better once it’s completed, but even if I don’t I’ll chalk it up to experimentation and move on from it. I’m

not always going to be in love with everything I create, and that’s fine. I’ll have to read some more tabloid trash for a new idea. I wonder what “research” will inspire something fabulous for my next layout. This week’s FREE pick : Grammar Girl, at grammar.quickanddirtytips.com.

Scrapbooking Today Movie Poster Inspired Layout

By Anne Walterich Contributing Writer

One of my fixations is celebrity gossip. There is no better time waster than reading the salacious tabloid headlines in the grocery line, looking at before & after photos of bad plastic surgery on Hollywood’s finest or, my personal favorite, trying to guess the bad seeds in the blind items. It’s not Shakespeare, provides me no intellectual stimulation whatsoever and I’m frighteningly not ashamed of it. Little did I know that it would inspire a scrapbook layout. I was getting my daily dose of brain candy online when I saw an item about Robert Pattinson. Usually, I skip these because I have no interest in teen heartthrobs, vampires or any combination of the two, but instead of scrolling to the next item, a photo of his latest movie poster caught my eye.

I was attracted to the four elongated columns with white space in between, the rounded corners at the bottom, and the text and title placement. I didn’t love the way his head was in three of the panels, uninterrupted, while his body was cut into segments, but I suppose it’s best not to chop up the leading man’s face. I wanted to try this technique with a landscape photo. The sky in Sunset Bay is so naturally spectacular that I try not to embellish those photos, if at all. I find that patterned papers or complicated decorations detract from, rather than enhance them, yet having it stand alone seems counterintuitive to scrapbooking. This simple, graphic hybrid style would still let the photo be the focus, while the text could be readable and not compete for attention. First, I measured the page size I wanted to create for my “Project : Annie” album, an

altered hardcover book based loosely on the “Project : Life” concept. Next, I made a 12” X 9” canvas in Photoshop. Then, I used the shape tool to create a rectangle with rounded corners on the lower portion, but found I didn’t like the final result. Instead, I changed to an ordinary rectangle, copied the shape and grouped all four into a Smart Object, and chose “Load Selection.” I opened my photo onto another canvas and copied the entire selection, then chose “Paste Into” on the template to create four panels of the larger

picture. Using the “Pea Cathi” FREE font from KevinandAmanda.com, I added the title, text and date. I then opened two 6” X 9” canvases, used the selection tool and copied one half of the larger layout onto each one. Finally, I could print the two halves on letter-sized photo paper. Once the ink was dry, I used my paper trimmer to cut out each individual panel. I was disappointed that it still managed to smudge, which I could have avoided by using a UV fixative spray and waiting a minute longer to trim.

Keeping the Faith

As a Christian, I know I shouldn’t fear but I feel controlled by it. Can you help me? (Part 3)

By Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church of Chautauqua County

We previously covered the first three steps to being free from fear. These are, 1) becoming saved by committing to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, 2) knowing the source of fear, and 3) knowing your rights and privileges as a Christian. The fourth and final step to freedom from fear is to exercise, or put into action, your God-given authority over fear. Fear will not leave us unless

we resist it. We must tell fear to leave us alone in the Name of Jesus. Notice what the Bible says in James 4:7, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” The word “resist,” as used in this scripture, is a military term. It means to be insubordinate or to rebel. We are to submit to God and rebel against the fear. How do we do this? We rebel by not giving into fear when it

comes. If we refuse to give in, the Bible says it will leave us! I was not free from the fear of the dark until I told the fear to leave me alone in the Name of Jesus. Now I am going to let you in on a little secret. Most people want to be free from fear without having to confront or face their fear. The real truth is that you have to confront what you fear while you are still afraid. In my case, I

got free from the fear of the dark when I turned out all the lights in the house and walked into a dark room and said, “I am not afraid, fear is gone in Jesus’ Name.” With all honesty, I quivered at the thought of doing it, but when I did it anyway (still feeling afraid) I became free from fear! Many psychologists will tell us that actions will eventually produce feelings. So, in order to feel brave, first act

brave. Eventually, the feeling of bravery will come. I want to encourage you, if you’re bound by fear, to take these four steps to freedom. Give you life to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, recognize that fear comes from the devil, know who you are as a Christian, use the authority that God gave you to conquer fear, and finally…be free!

behalf. It is the connection that causes God to move upon the hearts of those most closely connected to your blessing in this life. For example, if you want to restore your marriage then be loyal to your spouse. Not only keep yourself pure towards them but go out of your way to speak well of them. When you have done your part to be loyal then God can do His part to move upon them on your behalf. If you want promotion in a company then work for the company and not just the paycheck. When you refrain from the

“beat up the boss” conversations then God can move that boss to promote you. Loyalty can go places that college degrees can’t go. Proverbs 19:22 says, “That which is desired in a man is loyalty and kindness…” (Amplified) If you need favor from someone in this life, be loyal to them. Every human heart longs for someone to be loyal to them. God’s heart is the same: Be loyal to His favorite things and He will be loyal to your favorite things. (2 Sam 22:26) Amp

Weekly Word

Loyalty: The Key to Divine Promotion

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church of the Southern Tier

A man’s life is the sum of what and whom he has been loyal to. Loyalty is not something a college degree can give you nor can you purchase it with money yet a loyal individual has more value than a rich man and more wisdom than

many educated people. It is the universal sign of character. It is that deep seeded anchor that tells the heart that rebellion is not an option. And what you refuse to rebel against has won the highest place of honor in your life. I dare you to make a list of what you are loyal to; it will teach you what you really are. On your list be sure to include your loyalty to TV, entertainment, hobbies, friends, internet, and media. Compare those things to your loyalty to your marriage, church attendance, how you talk about

your boss, parents, or your minister. Most people find that they are more religious in their loyalty with trivial things than they are with the things that are dear to God’s heart. God cherishes and watches closely how you conduct yourself in your marriage. (Malachi 2:14) How you speak of your boss in the break room is how you spoke of God in His throne room. (Colossians 3:23) If a child is not taught to respect and honor their parents they will not respect and honor God. (Ephesians 6:2-3) When

you complain about your church you are sowing seeds of discord among brethren. (Proverbs 6:16-19) When you abandon your pastor, you are deserting one who has been given watch over your soul. (Hebrews 13:17) It is the loyalty in these relationships God delights in. Proverbs 3:3-4 says, “Let not loyalty and faithfulness forsake you…so will you find favor and good repute with God and with man.”(RSV) Loyalty is an amazing force that moves the heart of God and the heart of man on your

This is one of those stories that started a long time ago. Long before this basketball season even began. Even long before any member of either basketball team stepped foot on campus. This is a story about culmination, redemption and potentially even rebirth. Everybody knows what happened to this basketball program and to this university just about one decade ago. A school’s reputation tarnished. A basketball program torn into pieces after a scandal involving an illegal player spun completely out of control. But, that’s all officially in the rearview mirror now. Basketball head coaches Mark Schmidt and Jim Crowley have done

a remarkable job rebuilding their respective programs and school’s public image — as have countless others — but St. Bonaventure is basketball and until this past weekend, the climb to the top still seemed so far off in the distance. That redemption finally came this weekend. “Basketball is everything to this university,” Schmidt conceded in a teleconference Monday. “What we’ve been through and what they’ve (the fans) been through, it’s just a feel-good story. To see it come to a reality, it just puts a big smile on your face.” First, it was an Atlantic 10 Tournament championship Sunday to send the men to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2000.

Blue Devils Softball Looking To Take Next Step

Contributed Article Fredonia Sports Information

FREDONIA, N.Y. — Since their freshmen season in 2009, the seniors on this year's Fredonia State softball team have been looking for a measure of respect from SUNYAC opponents. That day has arrived. In the preseason coaches' poll released last week, the Blue Devils are picked to finish fourth in the 10-team SUNYAC. That would put them in the six-team tournament at the end of the season, which is where the Blue Devils landed last year — exceeding expectations — before their ouster. The Blue Devils set numerous team records last year without a senior on the roster. Their 26-9 final record tied the school mark for most wins and set the mark for fewest losses. They batted .304 as a team, had a 2.10 team earned run average, and a .952 fielding percentage — all new single-season school records. The success resulted in Lorrie Corsi receiving his third SUNYAC Coach of the Year Award. The only head coach in the previous 16 seasons of Blue Devil softball, Corsi has been succeeded in 2012 by Nicole Loudin, who was an assistant coach on last year's staff. Loudin has retained Corsi's two other assistants, pitching coach Bob Katta and bench coach Jerry Reilly. The Blue Devils have seven seniors — right-handed pitchers Ashley LaPorta and Jennifer Tighe; first baseman Michelle Lattner, second basemen Gabrielle Ciccarello and Brittany Lis; third baseman-designated player Lauren Larson, and outfielder Rachel Burrows. “Their hard work,” Loudin said,

“has really shaped the direction that this team is going in. It's great to see them reap the rewards of all that hard work. It's great to get this respect but we still have to go out on the field and back it up. I think we're all excited to take on that challenge.” All seven seniors are four-year players, and several have placed their names among Fredonia State recordholders in a variety of categories. Lis is a four-year captain and the all-time leader in sacrifice bunts. Lattner is a two-year captain whose record the most putouts in school history. Larson is coming off her best season, with a .341 batting average and team-high 29 RBI, which earned her All-SUNYAC recognition. Ciccarello and Burrows became full-time starters as juniors, Ciccarello as the DP and Burrows in left field. Tighe and LaPorta have been mainstays as pitchers since their freshmen seasons; they are seventh and eighth, respectively, in career wins. In addition to Larson, the Blue Devils return two other All-SUNYAC players and the reigning SUNYAC Rookie of the Year. Junior outfielder Katie Bartkowiak is a two-time

all-conference player and holder of several offensive records, including most hits in a season (55 in 2011) and highest single-season batting average (.451 in 2010). She also stole a school-record 25 bases in 2011. Junior shortstop Tina Schwartzmeyer is also coming off her best season (.347), which also earned her a spot on the All-SUNYAC Team. Junior right-handed pitcher Alyssa Brognano was the 2011 SUNYAC Rookie of the Year — an award Bartkowiak won in 2010 in addition to the ECAC Division III Rookie honor — after posting a 9-1 won-loss record with a 1.22 earned run average, including 5-0 with an 0.22 ERA in the SUNYAC. An academic junior, Brognano is entering her second season as a collegiate pitcher. Loudin's challenge — as it was for Corsi last year — will be finding innings for all her pitchers. In addition to LaPorta, Tighe, and Brognano, the staff includes junior right-handers Danielle Shelp and Raela Wiley. Slowed by an injury in 2011, Shelp is healthy again and is ready to take a regular spot in the rotation. Wiley

was a revelation in 2011. A transfer from Westminster, she posted a 5-0 record with a 0.00 ERA in 29 1/3 innings, just 5 2/3 innings short of qualifying for a spot among the NCAA leaders. “It's tough having to balance playing time for five talented pitchers,” Loudin said, “but it's a great problem to have. I've never been around a team that has had so many pitchers who could start for other teams in the conference. That not only gives us great depth but it also makes us a formidible foe.” Three other juniors will figure prominently in Loudin's plans. Jamie Atkins, 8-for-13 as a pinch-hitter last season, and Anne Wasik will start the season at third base and right field, respectively, while Hannah Vesneske will platoon at catcher with freshman Jessica Lauck, one of five newcomers. The others are Ashley Judd, a junior first baseman, has two years of collegiate experience at Jamestown Community College; and freshmen Erika Hines, Kate Nicholson, and Alison Pixley. Hines is a first baseman while Nicholson and Pixley are outfielders. The Blue Devils open their season Saturday, March 10, when they face University of Rochester, the first of 12 games at Clermont, Fla. Their home opener is March 28 vs. Allegheny. They begin the SUNYAC portion of their season March at home against Potsdam. “I think this trip,” Loudin said while on the team flight to Florida, “is going to be a great measuring stick of what we can expect for the season. We play a lot of good teams that I believe will prepare us for the tough conference schedule that we have when we get back to New York.”

MARCH MADNESS continued from pg 1 December. The women finished 29-3 including an 18-game winning streak that started the day before New Year’s Eve. They didn’t lose a game in all of 2012 until last Monday. They became ranked for the first time in school history. The men limped through the 2011 portion of their schedule as well, partially due to two season-ending injuries to starter Michael Davenport and sixth man Marquise Simmons. But, even after a fourth place finish, nobody could have foreseen the run through the Atlantic 10 Tournament. “It’s a great day to be a Bonnie,” said Crowley at a viewing party held at the Reilly Center during the NCAA’s Women’s Selection Show on ESPN Monday night. It was a great day Sunday, too. And a great couple of weeks for Bonnies fans to remember forever.

‘Why not St. Bonaventure’ While the women’s team had a spot it the dance pretty much set in stone, the men’s team entered play Friday afternoon knowing they had to win three games to make the NCAA Tournament. For most fans, the road through St. Joe’s (who they needed double overtime to beat at home just a week prior), top-seeded Temple and then likely Saint Louis or Xavier was darn near impossible to navigate.

now works at Eric Mower and Associates in Buffalo, was on campus the last time the Bonnies were winning this much and is well aware of what this means to the school. “As a cheerleader from 2000-03, I never missed a home game,” she said. “I can still remember and feel the excitement and possibility that unfolded during each game regardless of the opponent. Each game gave the entire campus a chance to congregate and share a common bond.” As far as both men’s and women’s teams making the tournament in the same year? “I could have envisioned it,” Sanchez said. “We (St. Bonaventure students) never considered our teams out of anyone’s league. I think this accomplishment shows just what is possible from having unwavering spirit and pride — even through the worst of circumstances. The mindset has always been ‘Why not St. Bonaventure?’” Certainly that quote will still hold water this weekend as both teams look to continue their respective runs in the NCAA Tournament. Why can’t St. Bonaventure keep winning? One thing is for sure; it’s a season that has defined redemption and put the university back in the national spotlight for good reason. “What they (the men’s team) did was put a cap on a dark era in program history,” Nolan said. “They showed that we are no longer a school that should

works for the Web site Collegechalktalk.com. He covered all three of St. Bonaventure’s playoff games courtside. He said he knew Schmidt had this team going in the right direction, but that it would be a long process to get back to this level. “We went 2-26 my freshman year,” Nolan said. “We were the single worst team in the nation. Mark Schmidt has done a remarkable job in his five years and has to go down as the man who rebuilt our program and — to an extent — saved our university given the financial struggles when he took over.” Matthew DeLaura, a 2008 graduate who majored in accounting, packed his living room full of fellow grads for Sunday’s final. “It was sheer jubilation,” DeLaura said. “Jumping around the living room, high-fives for everyone. Phone was ringing off the hook. All the while I had one eye on the TV, I’ve been a western New York Sports fan for far too long to count a victory until the clock reads zero. “It was such a feeling of pride,” he continued. “Living through perhaps the darkest days of not only the basketball program, but also the university itself. This was the culmination of the dedication of the team and the support of the fans over these trying years. Even above graduation, it was my proudest moment to date as a Bonnie.” Kara Sanchez, a 2004 graduate who

Fact is the Bonnies — who did manage to finish fourth out the 14-team A-10 — were just 2-5 against the conferences’ top eight teams. Both of those wins came at home. While most Bonnies fans dreamt of winning the tournament, the reality was it wasn’t worth thinking of, at least heading into Friday. Winning a game to possibly vault them into the NIT was a more realistic goal. “I honestly thought they would probably fall to Saint Joseph’s,” said Ian Nolan, a 2008 graduate with a degree in special education. “But after that game I had a good feeling about downing UMass with our crowd presence.” The Bonnies drew UMass in the second game, who beat regular season champ Temple, but the Minutemen still provided a stiff challenge and a team who had beat the Bonnies earlier this year. But, after Bonaventure escaped UMass Saturday afternoon, the stage was set for Sunday’s final. “Once Sunday morning came, I threw all of my basketball knowledge out the window and came to see this team as a team of destiny,” Nolan said. “I thought there was a very good chance they would complete the run and down Xavier. I will say that I considered going into the stands for the final because I wasn’t sure I could act professionally on press row. I found a way.” Nolan was a team manager for the men’s team from 2004-08 and now

be defined by the scandal. By playing Sunday on CBS, the Bonaventure community had a chance to showcase to the nation how proud we were of our school and team, and the fans and alumni came through in spades.” Added DeLaura: “As a graduate, this is all about pride. It’s an opportunity to share the Bonaventure connection with the nation. “We went through the dark days of [former men’s head coach] Anthony Solomon,” he continued. “It was tough to imagine a postseason let alone heading back to the dance. My fellow graduates and I made a pledge to ourselves that if our Bonnies got back into the NCAA tournament, we would be there to watch it no matter where it was. This week we are putting our money where our mouth is and heading down to Nashville.” A 12-hour trip to Nashville will be plenty worth it for fans and alums alike. After what’s happened over the past decade, it probably seems like a must. But Friday’s game will be the culmination of countless events over the last decade. Win or lose, it will be a sweet redemption for the program to get back to greatness, and for a school to bury its past once and for all. And with a pair of nationally televised games this weekend, perhaps a rebirth of winning. After all, maybe their legacy hasn’t been defined just yet.

Assists: Matthew Wright (2.8) Kloof (2.6). The skinny: Florida State will enter this game winning five in a row, including the Atlantic Coast Conference championship, where they knocked off top-seeded North Carolina to win the crown. In the semifinals, they beat Duke, which was the second time they beat the Blue Devils this season. Thus, there are some serious quality wins for the Seminoles who have now 15 of their last 18 games. But they have lost some clunkers including Harvard and Princeton out of conference and Clemson and Boston College in conference. For the Bonnies, they’ll certainly have their hands full. Florida State is traditionally one of the best defensive teams in the country and this year is no different. Their field goal percentage defense is fourth best in the country and they block 5.9 shots per game, seventh best in the country. The good news is Florida State is fairly average on offense and really only have one guy — Snaer — that can burn you. The rest are quality role players. How Bona can win: They’ll need to dial up one of their best defensive games of the season (which has been playing well lately) and shoot the ball well from the perimeter. Getting the patented 25 and 15 from Nicholson wouldn’t hurt, either. Needs to be a low scoring game. Syracuse

Assists: Kennedy (3.5), Chihil (3.2) The skinny: While the overall record of Florida Gulf Coast might scare Bonnies fans away, but the fact is the Eagles play in a lowmajor conference, the Atlantic Sun. They did beat Michigan State (a tournament team) but their 21-game winning streak all came against teams with RPI’s higher than 250 except for three games against Stetson (still low at 123). But even that being said, it’s tough to overlook a team playing this well and on this much of a roll. The good news is Florida Gulf Coast might be the only team in the tournament — or country — that is smaller than St. Bonaventure. The Eagles play a similar style to Bonaventure and don’t feature a player taller than six feet in their lineup. Because of that, they’re below average on defense but do have some incredible shooting percentage numbers with their overall percentage ranking 21st in the country. How Bona can win: The Bonnies just need to do what they’ve been doing all year. If they limit their turnovers and keep Florida Gulf Coast away from the basket, they should be fine. They match up extremely well with the Eagles and if the Bonnies can get Jenkins and Van Tatenhove going offensively, they shouldn’t have too much of a problem getting into the second round.

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

My dge To preface this, you have to ot understand just how big of a we fan of St. Bonaventure baster ketball I am. You also have to t- bear with a selfish column. is You see, the Bonnies were the first team I ever fell in love e with. I was a 9-year-old fourth s grade student who simply the loved basketball. My teacher e a at the time had a daughter who attended St. Bonaventure and was heavily involved with i- the basketball program. She would always bring back tons a of goodies including trading to cards, mini basketballs, etc., hool when she came to visit. It was at that point where my infatuation with the Bonnies began. While everyone else fter was reading God-knows-what en during mandatory reading sessions, I was plugging away with the 1995-96 media guide or the previous season’s yearbook. I had all the trading cards and probably still do somewhere. I could still name every single player on that team — and every team to follow — and what ans teams they played and beat. wdid Later on, I remember crying when my mom informed me e they had lost in the NCAA ex- Tournament vs. Kentucky in low 2000. For those who don’t h to remember, that game was at his noon and there was no way my catholic school was going to let us watch it. Thus when I got ht out of school, my poor mother had to break the news to me. to When it came to time to ler choose a college, everybody at, from my parents to a few ave teachers and, most of all, my - basketball coach, wanted me to go to St. Bonaventure. I could have had letters of recommendation whipped up in d to a heartbeat. y lf But when you’re 18 years be old, you tend not to do what he everyone else wants you to do. Besides, I didn’t know what I y wanted to do yet and it was a tinglot of money to go to a school like Bonaventure without a plan. So I went to Brockport.

I stuck around. I still went to games when I could and tuned into Gary Nease’s play-by-play for all of the rest of them. That same season, I remember choking up when Marques Green sobbed through his Senior Day speech, apologizing for the team not being any better. You see, Green was one of the best players in school history, but the scandal unfolded before his senior year and a few other players transferred. What ensued was an awful roster, but Green stuck through it and single-handedly won all seven games for that team during the year. I still remember having a terrible pit in my stomach thinking, ‘he’s the one apologizing?’ The rest of the Anthony Solomon years were awful, but if there’s one guy the whole school offers a sincere thank you to, it’s Solomon. He epitomized class and although he couldn’t bring in any sort of talent — not sure how much you can blame him — he restored stability to the program. Regardless, I’m sorry for my trip down memory lane, but it all came full circle this past weekend. The new leader Mark Schmidt, behind the second coming of Bob Lanier in Andrew Nicholson, led the Bonnies on a miraculous three-day run through Atlantic City. I agonizingly watched every minute of all three games, much like I have all season, rarely missing one thanks to the much-appreciated SBU-TV. But Sunday, I woke up realizing just how far the program had come and it almost didn’t matter what happened against Xavier — well, not while the game was going on, I’ll admit. Thankfully, besides a few tense moments somewhat late in the game, the Bonnies won with ease, relatively speaking at least. Besides, after Friday and Saturday’s games, I’m not sure my heart could have endured much more Sunday. Plan and simple, it was three days I’ll never forget. As a fan, you live for these moments, but the fact is I never envisioned the Bonnies getting back to the NCAA Tournament. What most casual fans don’t get is just how hard it is for any school, let alone the school ranked 341 (out of 348 Division I schools) in enrollment (2010 numbers from BBState.com) to get the type of players to be able to compete for a chance to get there. Five years ago Schmidt took over a seven-win team with three scholarship players. Now he’s got this team six wins from a national championship (hey, that’s true) and has a player headed straight for the NBA next year. Sometimes it just feels like I’m dreaming. Its almost like that three-day tournament was just too good to be true; I must have made it up. But I think Friday will arrive on schedule — fingers crossed — and while my countless hours of researching Florida State’s tendencies are extremely useless, at least I’ll be doing it for my Bonnies. Cherish this week everyone, I know I will.

For fans, drivers, Bristol offers one-of-a-kind race experience

any a race fan, upon stepping into the giant stadium-like seating area at Bristol Motor Speedway for the first time, has marveled at seeing a NASCAR race track in the space typically occupied by a grassed football gridiron. On the other hand, drivers entering from the lower side of the grandstands see the place from a totally different perspective. “The first time you go there and you’re in the infield and you see how steep the banking is and how high the grandstands are up above you, you just feel like you’re in the middle of a volcano,” 2001 Sharpie 500 winner Tony Stewart told reporters during a recent appearance at Bristol, which hosts this weekend’s Food City 500. “It’s pretty intimidating.”

“Watching a race at Bristol is like putting 43 cars in a blender.” – Tony Stewart Despite the differences in perspectives, drivers and fans tend to agree that Bristol’s high-banked half-mile oval track, with its 165,000-seat grandstand, is a unique and special place. “Watching a race at Bristol is like putting 43 cars in a blender; it’s just nonstop action,” Stewart said. “There’s no track on the circuit that fans are as close to action as they are at Bristol. “They are literally sitting right at the edge of the track, and there’s not a bad seat in the house. Every seat is a great seat. And it’s a fun place, whether you’re

in the track watching the action or over at the campgrounds, everybody just has so much fun.” But for the drivers, it’s also a serious racing place, as 2008 Food City 500 winner Jeff Burton pointed out. “Bristol, in my eyes, is one of the three or four race tracks on the circuit where you don’t have a fluke winner,” he said. “Guys who don’t run well anywhere else can win at Daytona, [but] an average race car driver just doesn’t win at Bristol. “Everybody has to be on it at Bristol, and the winners there are typically hard racers. And if you can win there, you feel like you can win anywhere. I look at Bristol as the ultimate test of where you are as a driver.” It also can be the ultimate test of a race car, since many of them wind up battered and bruised after 500 laps. Tony Stewart, who is a part owner of his own and Ryan Newman’s Chevrolet, doesn’t seem to mind the repair bills – if he can prevail at the finish. “I don’t care if my car is upside down, on fire, or in a hundred pieces as long as we’re the first to cross the finish line there,” he said.

‘Double dippers’winning less

Stewart hits jackpot in Vegas race Tony Stewart motored away from the pack through one late-race restart after another in the Kobalt Tools 400 to score his 45th Sprint Cup victory, his sixth in the last 13 Cup races dating back to last year, and his first win at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Perhaps more important for the big picture, it was his first win with crew chief Steve Addington, who was put in the difficult position of taking over for a crew chief, Darian Grubb, who had led Stewart to five Chase victories and the Cup championship last year after being told he would be fired at season’s end. “It’s a big relief, to know you’re the [only] difference in the race team right now,” Addington said. “Nobody put the Tony Stewart on pit road at Las Vegas pressure on me Motor Speedway. (NASCAR photo) except myself. I really didn’t realize how much I’d put on myself going to work for the championship team the very next year. “It’s been a lot of pressure. I think that even when Tony feels good about the car, I’m still questioning. He’s just like, ‘Relax, dude, it’s going to be all right.’” Stewart said that he’s done all he can to keep from putting heat on Addington. “From day one we told Steve that we had an awesome scenario at the end of the year, winning the championship,” he said. “I guess it’s easy for us to not feel that pressure from our side …We told him from day one we’re going to go have fun, race hard, take what it gives us.” Stewart said that the Vegas win, coupled with Grubb’s win last week with his new driver, Denny Hamlin, should go a long way toward putting that story to bed. “I think it was a pretty cool two weeks,” he said.

Gordon rolls with it: ‘The actual wreck was fun’ Ever wonder what goes through a race driver’s mind when his or her world gets turned upside down – literally? Jeff Gordon provided some insight while discussing his flip during the Budweiser Shootout at Daytona last month. “You hold on tight, and you just hope that it ends soon,” he said. “You basically just brace yourself for any impact that may be coming.” He said the difficult part is not being able to tell what’s coming next. “You can’t see,” he said. “You’re spinning around, and you’re seeing the sky and the track and the sky and the track, and it’s all happening pretty fast. You’d be surprised at how fast it goes by.” Even though things happen fast, Gordon said drivers do have time to get nervous, like at Daytona, where he was sliding along on his left door with sparks flying everywhere. “I was more concerned with if those sparks turn into fire, and I need to get out, how am I going to go through the other window?” he said. “I knew some cars had gotten into me, and I thought the car might be stuck like that.” Then he said he began to worry that the car would land upside down, which it did. “When it landed upside down, everything was fine. I was like, ‘That didn’t hurt so bad, and I’m not injured,’” he said. Still, it took some time for rescue workers to decide whether to right his car first or get him out and then get the car back on its wheels. Gordon said he got impatient and tried to get out on his own. “I wish I had waited, because I tried to get out and that was the only time I was scared,” he said. “I was stuck inside the car when I tried to unhook. That was

NASCAR’s “Junior Nation” had plenty to cheer about in the opening laps of the Kobalt Tools 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Dale Earnhardt Jr. blasted into the lead on the start and led all but three of the first 73 laps. His 70 laps led in that race were 18 more than the 52 he led all of last year. But Earnhardt was unable to keep his car at the front of the pack as track conditions changed, and he wound up 10th at the finish and shouldering much of the blame for falling out of contention. He said he just didn’t do a good job of communicating the information on his car’s changing handling characteristics to crew chief Steve Letarte. “Our car was tight at the start of the race,” he said. “We were fast, and I knew before the end of the race we were going to have to free my car up, and I never let Steve [Letarte] do it. “I just never told him enough and never gave him enough freedom today that he felt like he needed to free the car up. When we got in traffic, the car was just really tight, and it’s a lesson that you learn a long, long time ago ... “It was more my fault than anything, really. I didn’t give him enough information.” Still, Earnhardt heads to one of his better tracks, Bristol Motor Speedway, fourth in the Cup standings, 18 points behind leader Greg Biffle.

Jeff Gordon signs autographs for fans last week. (NASCAR photo) the part that wasn’t much fun.” He said that overall, the most disappointing aspect for him was that he felt he caused the wreck. “I got impatient with Kyle Busch,” he said. “His car was terrible, and yet he wins the race. He was just so loose that every time I tried to push him by the car in front of us, he just kept getting out of control. “I pushed him too hard at a bad point in the corner, and then I had to try to avoid him as he started to wreck, and then I end up in the wreck and cause another wreck. That was the thing that got me mentally more so, and that was just making sure I don’t get myself in that same position. “The actual wreck itself was fun.”

After several years in which double-dipping Sprint Cup drivers won about all the Nationwide Series races, the trend seems to be reversing. Last year, five races were won by drivers who were essentially Nationwide only, and a sixth was won by Trevor Bayne, who runs a limited Cup schedule. This year, the first three Nationwide races have been won by Nationwide regulars, with James Buescher winning at Daytona, Elliott Sadler at Phoenix and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. at Las Vegas. For Stenhouse, the defending series champion, the Las Vegas victory was his first-ever on an intermediate track. “To win on a mile-and-a-half is big for me,” said the driver of the No. 6 Ford. “I feel like our cars are better than I am at some mile-and-ahalves, and I feel like I drive really hard at the short tracks. I think we’ve got a really good package going right now and to get that win on a mile-and-a-half feels good.” Veteran Mark Martin, who finished second, was among those impressed with Stenhouse’s performance. “That was one serious beat down Ricky Stenhouse just put on me there at the end,” he said.

Earnhardt adds to ‘boneyard’ It seems the old saying “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” is true, at least for Dale Earnhardt Jr., who is now the proud owner of the No. 42 Chevrolet that Juan Pablo Montoya drove into the back of a jet dryer during the Daytona 500. Earnhardt recently added what’s left of Montoya’s car to his personal race car boneyard on part of his North Carolina property. “I’ve got about 50 or 60 cars out there, and I didn’t buy any of them,” he told reporters at Las Vegas, adding that a friend in the business has helped him amass his collection. He said the Montoya car ranks high in his collection, right up there with a car Dennis Setzer flipped at Talladega. “It’s one of the top two or three,” he said. Earnhardt also said he’d like to have the remains of the jet dryer.

Ironmen Get Four Points Over Weekend Trio With Traverse City By David Olesky Jamestown Ironmen

JAMESTOWN — The Jamestown Ironmen lost an opportunity to gain two points in the standings, but the Traverse City North Stars took advantage of three third period power plays scoring twice on their way to a 4-2 victory Saturday night. It was a slow start to the game with both teams turning to their back up goalies in the middle game of a three game series, but it was the North Stars that struck first with a deflection by Chris Waterstreet midway through the second period. The North Stars had controlled play most of the way and were outshooting Jamestown 18-9 past the midway point of the game. Jamestown caught a break late in the period when North Stars goalie Zach Nagelvoort cleared the puck over the glass and received a delay of game penalty. Jamestown failed to convert on the power play, but Zach Szajner scored his seventh of the season on a shot from the top of the

crease just seconds after the North Stars returned to full strength. The Ironmen took the lead just two minutes later on a goal by Anthony Coles. Coles and Ryan Urso raced in on a 2-on-1 break and Nagelvoort stopped the initial shot by Urso but Coles lifted the rebound just under the crossbar. The North Stars argued the puck never went in the net but after a brief discussion with the goal judge the referee ruled the Ironmen had taken a 2-1 lead with only 41.8 seconds left in the second period. Everything started to unravel for Jamestown in the third period. Seth Adams tied the score just 1:51 into the period on a pretty pass from Sean Murphy. The goal came with an extra attacker on the ice because of a delayed penalty on Jamestown. The penalties continued for Jamestown and the goals kept going in. Jamestown found themselves down two men with Gerdes in the box for tripping and Aaron Arm joining him for high sticking. The Ironmen killed off all but six seconds of the 5-on-3 advantage but Eric

Rivard gave the North Stars the 3-2 lead. The North Stars added another power play goal by Nathan Harris late in the period to give them the 4-2 victory. The Ironmen were outshot 33-20 by the North Stars and the North Stars were 2-for-6 on the power play while Jamestown was 0-for2. Friday night, Jeff McFarland scored a pair of second period goals and Joey Ballmer stopped 23 shots to help the Ironmen end their winless streak with a 4-3 victory. The Ironmen have struggled to find offense in recent weeks with only six goals in the previous five games. Those struggles disappeared Friday as they scored four times for the first time since a 4-2 win over Traverse City on New Year’s Eve. Jamestown started the scoring with an early first period goal by Gerdes that came just seconds after an Ironmen power play expired. Traverse City answered back with a power play goal late in the period by Rivard. Traverse City took an early

Manning Spends More Than Six Hours With Cardinals

StarNewsDaily.com • 366.9200 (Dunkirk/Fredonia) • 338.0030 (Jamestown)

Tiger Withdraws From Doral With Old Injury By Doug Ferguson Associated Press

By Bob Baum Associated Press

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals, for decades the laughingstock of the NFL, find themselves in the running for the services of one of the game’s greatest quarterbacks. Peyton Manning spent nearly 6 1/2 hours at the Arizona Cardinals’ headquarters and training facility on Sunday in meetings designed to lure the superstar to the desert. The session followed a meeting of nearly six hours Manning had at the Broncos’ facility in Denver on Friday night. The two sessions were evidence that, for the time being at least, Arizona and Denver appear to be the top two contenders. After his Arizona visit, Manning headed home to Florida, where he may or may not meet with the Miami Dolphins and return to his workouts as he comes back from a series of neck surgeries. Manning waved and smiled at cheering fans as he walked from the Cardinals’ facility to coach Ken Whisenhunt’s white SUV. With the coach at the wheel, Manning waved again as the SUV pulled through the security gate and past the loud supporters. Titans owner Bud Adams told The Tennessean on Sunday that he has contacted Manning’s agent, Tom Condon, to express his interest and ask for the quarterback to visit the Titans. The 89-year-old Adams said he will be upset if he doesn’t land the former Indianapolis Colts star. Multiple reports on Sunday had Manning declining visits to Seattle and Kansas City. Cardinals President Michael Bidwill, son of owner Bill Bidwill, left immediately after Manning and Whisenhunt did. It has been under the younger Bidwill’s leadership that the franchise has shed its penny-pinching image and found success on the field. Larry Fitzgerald, one of the best receivers in the game and considered a prime reason why Manning might choose Arizona, spent about three hours at the Manning sessions before leaving to make a flight to Australia for

a vacation. General manager Rod Graves and most members of Whisenhunt’s staff, including offensive line and assistant head coach Russ Grimm. Wide receiver Andre Roberts spent several hours there, as did Lisa Manning (no relation), the Cardinals’ vice president for marketing. Bidwill arrived about an hour and a half after Manning did. “Get it done, Michael,” a fan yelled. “Come on, buddy.” Among the earliest of the few dozen fans who came to the facility to try to get a glimpse of Manning was 26-year-old Jarred Light, a Colts fan who moved to the Phoenix area 1 1/2 years ago. “I pretty much grew up around him,” he said. “When I was 12 is when he came to Indy. Now I’m 26, so pretty much ever since I’ve been interested in football he was my favorite everything. I’ve seen him a couple of times in Indy from living there so many years, and now I just wanted to come out here and see if he will come to the Cardinals.”

There were several other people there in Colts’ No. 18 jerseys. A couple of fans wore Broncos jerseys and were loudly booed when they were interviewed by television crews. Manning, who turns 36 on March 24, reportedly wants to make a decision in the next few days. Time is of the essence for the Cardinals, who are scheduled to pay quarterback Kevin Kolb $7 million if he is on the roster Thursday. Manning was released by the Colts as the lead move in the team’s massive restructuring of its roster. With Manning out the entire season while undergoing a series of neck surgeries, Indianapolis had the worst record in the NFL and is expected to select quarterback Andrew Luck with the No. 1 pick in the draft. Manning has reported good progress as he works to regenerate nerves in his neck and regain his throwing form.

DORAL, Fla. (AP) — One week after Tiger Woods showed some of his old magic, he hobbled off the golf course with an old injury. And the Masters is only three weeks away. Woods pounded a 321-yard tee shot on the 12th hole Sunday in the Cadillac Championship when he winced, slumping over against his driver, and the hobble became an unmistakable limp. Moments later, he shook hands with Webb Simpson and told him, “I’ve got to go in.” He was driven off in a cart to the parking lot at Doral, walked gingerly to a black sedan and drove away. “I felt tightness in my left Achilles warming up this morning, and it continued to get progressively worse,” Woods said in a statement. “After hitting my tee shot at 12, I decided it was necessary to withdraw. In the past, I may have tried to continue to play, but this time I decided to do what I thought was necessary.” It’s the same Achilles that he injured last year at Augusta National, which eventually caused Woods to miss two majors last year. The severity of this injury won’t be known until Woods has it evaluated. NBC Sports showed Woods behind the wheel as he drove away from Doral in the black sedan. “I didn’t really notice anything,” Simpson said. “I wasn’t paying much attention, but it looked like he made a swing on 12 that really hurt. But didn’t say a whole lot. Class act. Shook my hand. Off he went. “He just shook my hand and said, `I’ve got to go in.’ You could feel he was hurting. He didn’t say a whole lot, but his expression was enough that he was in enough pain to end it.” Woods is scheduled to play in two weeks at Bay Hill, his last tournament before the Masters. Woods is a four-time champion at Augusta National, and with an ordinary game, he still has tied for fourth the last two years. “It’s a shame because he looked like he was coming out this year, swinging it really well, playing good, getting himself into contention,” said Rory McIlroy, who held off Woods’ charge last week at the Honda Classic. “It’s probably just precautionary, but I really hope

he’s healthy for the Masters, because obviously it would be a great week with him there. He can spark an interest in golf that no one else can.” Doral was Woods’ third straight tournament. He lost in the second round of the Match Play Championship, then shot 62 to tie for second in the Honda. When asked after the third round Saturday at Doral how is body was holding up through this stretch, he replied, “It feels great.” Steve Stricker played with him in the third round Saturday and said he didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary. “He always walks with a limp a little bit,” Stricker said. “I noticed it a little bit again. I thought maybe that’s something he always has, like a habit.” Woods changed shoes at the turn and was lifting his left leg, slightly flexing his ankle. His limp became more pronounced, especially after he pulled his second shot on the par-5 10th, leading to bogey. The limp grew worse, and moments later, Woods was gone. “I think maybe his heel was bothering him, or something with his foot,” Simpson said. “I don’t think it’s anything serious. Like I said, we didn’t talk or anything, so I’m not sure exactly what it was.” It’s the third time in three years that Woods has withdrawn from a tournament. The most recent was at The Players Championship last

May, when he hobbled off the TPC Sawgrass after a 42 on the opening nine holes. He then took three months off to let his left leg fully heal, returning at the Bridgestone Invitational. Woods said he wanted to make sure he didn’t come back until he knew there would be no more issues with his leg. Since then, he has been able to practice more and adjust to swing changes, and from tee-to-green his golf has looked solid. “That’s not good news,” Justin Rose said after his one-shot victory for his first World Golf Championship. “Hopefully, (he’s) holding himself back for the Masters and doesn’t want do any more damage.” Woods has had four surgeries on his left knee dating to when he was at Stanford. The most significant was in June 2008, when he had reconstructive surgery to repair ligaments just a week after winning the U.S. Open for his 14th major. Woods has not won a major since then, and he has missed four majors because of injuries. Woods attracted the largest galleries of the week, even starting the final round eight shots out of the lead. When he left, so did most of the crowd. “It was a bit weird,” Simpson said. “It went from one extreme to the other, from playing with all the people to playing with no people. I wasn’t playing too good, so I didn’t really care.”

Paterno’s Firing Over ‘Failure of Leadership’ By Genaro C. Armas Associated Press

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Penn State trustees, faced with continued alumni and student criticism for firing football coach Joe Paterno, released a statement Monday intended to underscore their rationale for his ouster: “failure of leadership” for his actions following a reported sex assault involving former assistant Jerry Sandusky. The board found that while Paterno fulfilled a legal obligation to tell his superiors that an employee claimed Sandusky abused a young boy in a shower, it said Paterno should have done more. “We determined that his decision to do his minimum legal duty and not to do more to follow up constituted a failure of leadership by Coach Paterno,” the trustees wrote. PSU trustees said Joe Paterno should have done more following a reported sex assault involving former assistant Jerry Sandusky. The trustees report comes after months of criticism from Penn State alumni over Paterno’s firing in November. The Hall of Fame coach died in January after a brief bout with lung cancer. In their statement, the trustees said they had been asked by the Penn State

community to “state clearly” the reasons for Paterno’s dismissal and the removal of the university president. The board had previously offered its rationale for removing Paterno and President Graham Spanier. But Trustee Keith Eckel said Monday the board decided to issue another statement now because alumni had continued to ask questions. “Many people have indicated that they did not understand, and this is our last attempt to try to make it as clear as possible,” Eckel told The Associated Press. “And people are welcome to agree or disagree with us.” Sandusky is accused of sexually abusing 10 boys over a 15-year span. He has denied the allegations. Then-graduate assistant Mike McQueary’s claim that he saw Sandusky sexually abusing a young boy inside a football building on the university campus is one of 10 such allegations brought by the state attorney general’s office. The first round of charges against Sandusky was filed Nov. 5, four days before Paterno was fired and Spanier was forced to resign. The board also apologized for the decision to fire Paterno by phone late that night — a decision that drew the ire of many of the coach’s supporters. “We saw no better alternative,” the

trustees wrote. “Because Coach Paterno’s home was surrounded by media representatives, photographers and others, we did not believe there was a dignified, private and secure way to send Board representatives to meet with him there.” The trustees said they planned to apologize to Paterno for the way he was being dismissed but the coach ended the call before the message could be delivered. Phone messages left for Spanier and the Paterno family were not immediately returned.

The board also said it decided not to wait until the next morning, saying it feared leaks would have Paterno learning his fate before an official announcement. The coach missed the team’s final three regular season games. Bitterness over Paterno’s removal has turned up in many forms, from online postings to a note placed next to Paterno’s statue at the football stadium blaming the trustees for his death. A newspaper headline that read “FIRED” was crossed out and made to read, “Killed by Trustees.” The trustees said they had intended to name Paterno head coach emeritus in honor of his contributions to the university. The board said additional options are under review but no decisions will be reached until after independent counsel and former FBI director Louis Freeh issues a final report on a special investigation into the school’s handling of the allegations. The board said the removal of Spanier was also a result of a “failure of leadership” that included insufficiently informing the board of his knowledge of the 2002 allegation. Spanier also made public statements that were not authorized or contrary to the board’s instructions, the trustees said. In one statement following the charges against Sandusky, Spanier expressed his “complete confidence”

in a pair of university administrators, athletic director Tim Curley and senior vice president Gary Schultz, who were charged with perjury and failure to report suspected abuse. Spanier requested a vote of confidence from the board on Nov. 9 but was fired that night. Curley is on administrative leave and Schultz retired after being charged. Both maintain their innocence. Also Monday, a judge heard arguments but opted not to rule immediately on how much information Sandusky should get in advance of his trial on child sex abuse charges. Judge John Cleland gave no indication when he’d rule on the arguments concerning the “bill of particulars” about the 10 purported victims that the attorney general’s office provided Sandusky’s attorney two weeks ago. Defense attorney Joe Amendola requested more specific information about where and when alleged crimes occurred and the names of people who were present or nearby. He has said that information may help him develop his defense. The attorney general’s office says Amendola is overstating the lack of specificity in the materials already provided to him. Sandusky did not attend the hearing.

Sabres Leapfrog Into Ninth In East With OT Win Against Habs Contributed Article Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Given how poorly Buffalo was playing two months ago, defenseman Tyler Myers is certain it would have let this one slip away. It's a much different story in March, now that the surging Sabres have climbed back in the hunt for a playoff spot. Buffalo allowed the tying goal with 5 seconds left in regulation, but Myers scored 2:01 into overtime to secure a 3-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Monday night. "Two months ago, I would say it would've been very tough with our group," Myers said, noting how the Sabres might have allowed frustration to settle in after Montreal's David Desharnais forced overtime by scoring during a wild scramble in front. or at"But I think we've come a very long, long way," Myers said. "Those goals don't feel good. And the the way we responded was a big sign of life n with our group." The Sabres (33-29-8) improved to 9-2-2 in their ff topast 13 games, a roll that has moved them from n- the depths of the Eastern Conference standings into ninth place, two points behind Washington d to in the race for the final playoff spot. ck Myers raced up the right wing to join Derek e no Roy and Jason Pominville for a 3-on-2 rush e that led to the winning goal. Roy crossed the c- blue line and slid a pass across to Myers, who g snapped a shot by Peter Budaj and just inside en the left post.

Desharnais and Erik Cole each had a goal and an assist for the Canadiens (27-32-11), who salvaged a point but remain stuck in last place in the East. Coach Randy Cunneyworth didn't consider the loss to Buffalo as a setback, and noted his team was jet-lagged after a 4-1 win at Vancou-

ver on Saturday. "I don't look at it as a step backward," Cunneyworth said. "I was happy with the effort. I think under the circumstances, the guys gave everything they had." Despite a slow start and being outshot 14-6 in the first period, the Canadiens opened the scoring 4:32 in on Cole's slap shot off a Sabres turnover. Buffalo pressured Montreal but Budaj stepped

Suspensions e And Recalls or. r ed BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The ries. Buffalo Sabres will have to t continue their playoff push without top defenseman Tyler ht Myers, who has been suspendn he ed without pay by the NHL wd. for three games for an illegal hit from behind. League disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan issued the ruling Tuesday, after holding a hearI ing with Myers over a minor I boarding penalty he received in the third period of a 3-2 overtime win against Montreal a day earlier. Shanahan ruled Canadiens forward Scott Gomez had his back turned and was defenseless when Myers struck him from behind and into the boards. Under league rules, Shanahan said the onus was on Myers to avoid the hit. Myers forfeits $14,189.19 in salary in serving a suspension that begins Wednesday, when the Sabres host Colorado. Buffalo Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier announced that defenseman Brayden McNabb has been recalled on an emergency basis from the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League. McNabb joins the Sabres for his second career recall after recording five points (1+4) and 10 penalty minutes in 20

games with the team earlier this season. The defenseman, also playing in his first AHL season, has appeared in 36 games for the Americans in 2011-12. McNabb has tallied 25 points (4+21) in Rochester and leads the team with a plus-15 rating. A native of Davidson, Saskatchewan, McNabb was selected by Buffalo in the third round (66th overall) of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.

8th Annual Scotty Bowman Showcase to take place March 20 BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Sabres today announced that the 8th Annual Scotty Bowman Showcase will take place on Tuesday, March 20 at First Niagara Center. The 2012 Scotty Bowman Showcase consists of three all-star hockey games between players from Buffalo and their rivals from Rochester. Admission for the games is $5. The first game will begin at 6 p.m. with high school juniors from the two cities facing off against one another. The next game will take place at 7:30 p.m. between high school seniors from each city. The winner of the second game will be awarded the Scotty Bowman Cup. New to the event this year is a game featuring players from Buffalo and Rochester who play prep school or junior hockey, either locally

or elsewhere. The junior and senior-year high school-aged players will face off at 9 p.m. All three games will consist of two 22-minute halves. Players will be individually nominated and rated by a group of area high school, midget and junior coaches from both cities based on their play this past season. For more information, or to nominate a player for consideration, please contact Sabres Youth Hockey Coordinator Ed Grudzinski by phone at 716-855-4174 or via email at ed.grudzinski@sabres.com. The event is named after the legendary Scotty Bowman, the winningest coach in NHL history. Bowman will be in attendance to present the Bowman Cup to the victorious senior team. The Buffalo seniors won last year’s Bowman Cup, and hold a 6-1 advantage in the event’s seven-year history. Several players have furthered their careers following their participation in the Scotty Bowman Showcase, with the most high-profile player being Phil Lane of Rochester. Lane was drafted by the Phoenix Coyotes in the second round (52nd overall) of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, after competing in both the 2008 and 2009 events. The final selection of each team will be completed by the Buffalo Sabres based on the ratings of the nominating committee. The participants for each game will be announced at a later date.

up with 33 stops. In the first period, he somehow got a piece of Thomas Vanek's shot through a screen. Four minutes into the second, Budaj thrust his glove up to snag Roy's blast that came on a 3-on-1 break. Vanek was foiled again with 8:32 remaining, when he got in alone only to have Budaj get a piece of the shot with his right pad. Ennis tied it 11:08 into the second period on a great individual rush when he crossed the blue line, turned Montreal defenseman Andrei Markov inside out and beat Budaj by faking a backhand shot before going forehand. Ennis then put the Sabres in front 1:50 into the third period courtesy of a fortunate bounce on a 2-on-1 break. His pass through the crease deflected in off Montreal defenseman Alexei Emelin's stick. Buffalo improved to 7-0-1 in its past eight against Northeast Division-rival Montreal. The only blemish was a 4-3 shootout loss in their previous meeting last month. That game prompted Sabres coach Lindy Ruff to say he was "embarrassed" following a sloppy effort that dropped Buffalo into a tie for last place in the East. Ruff was in a better mood this time. "It was tough on the emotions giving that goal up with that amount of time," Ruff said. "We didn't defend that situation very well. But to come back and go after it and not get on our heels ... I thought we answered the bell." NOTES: Sabres LW Matt Ellis is out indefinitely after hurting his right knee in a 4-3 shootout win at Ottawa on Saturday. Ruff also said D Andrej Sekera has been diagnosed with pneumonia after missing the past three games with ﬂulike symptoms. ... Desharnais returned after missing one game with a lower body injury. ... Before the anthems, the Sabres honored Rick Martin, Buffalo's French Connection-line winger, who died last March 13 of heart disease.

MANNING continued from pg 6 friendship with Manning. In addition, Whisenhunt is flexible in his approach to the game. He built a team around Kurt Warner and gave the veteran quarterback free rein to change the plays at the line of scrimmage. As a result, the long-suffering Cardinals franchise made a surprise run to the Super Bowl in the 2008 season and captured the NFC West title again the next year. Warner said on Saturday that it’s a measure of how far the Cardinals have come as a franchise that they have made such a full-court attempt to land Manning.

The Cardinals also have a state-of-the-art stadium with a retractable roof and a natural grass field. The addition of Manning might prompt the franchise to follow through on earlier plans to build a practice bubble so players can escape the stifling heat during summer mini-camps and early season practices.

after the lockout ended, Arizona traded cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a second-round pick to Philadelphia for Kolb, then signed the quarterback to a big contract. But Kolb had trouble adjusting to the new offense and missed eight starts with injuries. Secondyear pro John Skelton wound up starting half the games and having more success than Kolb did. If Manning doesn’t come to Arizona, the Cardinals will be faced with assuring Kolb that his services are still coveted, that the pursuit of the star was nothing personal.

Schauman averaged a ridiculous 20 points and 12 rebounds for the Cougars, while Liddell and Williams were each offensive powerhouses for divisional champions. Second Team All-County: Austin Alonge, senior, Westfield Adam Cecchini, senior, Jamestown Alex Grace, senior, Maple Grove Kyle Radack, junior Southwestern Dylan Meyer, junior, Fredonia Summary: Alonge was one of the best scorers around all of Section VI to lead Westfield into the Class C quarterfinals. Cecchini and Grace were both key glue guys for teams that won division titles. Cecchini was a go-to scorer when Jamestown was in a bind and Grace was one of the top playmakers around. Radack and Meyer are each top scorers who could lead

their respective schools to bigger things next year. Let the Southwestern and Fredonia rivalry continue. Honorable Mention: Jason McMahon, Chautauqua Lake Adam Walker, Clymer Kevin Holmes, Dunkirk Mike Donaldson, Dunkirk Josh Mleczko, Dunkirk Gage Bird, Frewsburg Zach Lubi, Panama Alec Blose, Panama Jon Jimerson, Silver Creek

Marcus Lindstrom, Sherman League Champions: ECIC I — Jamestown CCAA I — Olean CCAA II — Silver Creek CCAA III — Maple Grove CCAA IV — Panama Summary: Silver Creek and Jamestown each reached sectional championships at Buffalo State, but each school had its heartbroken. Jamestown’s potential game-tying threepointer went long at the buzzer and Silver Creek’s 12-footer from Zeddie Williams rimmed

in-and-out at the buzzer that would have given the Black Knights the win. Maple Grove lost to Silver Creek in the Class C-2 final, while the only non-Chautauqua County team to win a league title, Olean, will be heading to the state Final Four this weekend. Sectional Champions: Class D — Panama Summary: Props to Ed Nelson and his fantastic senior class who won a sectional title for the first time in 41 years. It’s remarkable what they accomplished and for that, they were named Coach of the Year, and Player of the Year, respectfully. There are plenty of great players and great coaches in the area, but I felt these two really deserved the most recognition. Panama lost in the Class D Regionals to Notre Dame Prep (Section V) 62-51 despite 17 points from both Lenart and classmate Zach Lubi. The Panthers kept it within two possessions until the end,

9 but they couldn’t get over the hump to beat the private school from Batavia.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article

Department of Environmental Conservation

Thursday's rainstorms have all of the tributaries running high and muddy. Stream levels peaked overnight and are now falling. The smallest streams are your best bet for Saturday morning. Medium sized streams such as Chautauqua, Canadaway, Eighteenmile and Buffalo Creeks could still be murky Saturday morning, but will improve throughout the day. By Sunday, all streams but Cattaraugus Creek should be in great

shape. Earlier in the week, anglers reported that the steelhead action is picking up on the streams. Anglers are catching a mix of fresh fish and post-spawn drop backs. Some steelheads are actively spawning and it is recommended that anglers avoid spawning pairs. Egg sacs, egg pattern flies, trout beads and jigs with grubs have worked well. Spring-like conditions also have steelhead striking additional baits such as stonefly imitations, streamers, minnows and night crawlers.

Mar. 9 to Mar. 16

Lake Erie and Harbors Anglers are still catching brown trout in Dunkirk Harbor, with the occasional steelhead mixed 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. However, gizzard shad are in the harbor (thick at times), making

it difficult to use spoons and spinners. Anglers can also try Barcelona Harbor for trout. After this weekend, warm and sunny weather could draw an early run of bullhead into Dunkirk Harbor. Chautauqua Lake Ice fishing season is over as ice has deteriorated rapidly lake-wide. Boats can get out at some launches in the north basin and poke around the open water areas. There have been no reports of good crappie catches in the canals yet. However,

anglers should expect the crappie and bullhead fishing to pick up in the canals soon. Spring Trout Stocking Hatchery managers are putting together their spring stocking schedules and the DEC will soon begin trout stocking in western New York. DEC Randolph Fish Hatchery will kick off its stocking season on March 19th. When stocking begins, anglers can call the Randolph Hatchery Fish Stocking Hotline at (716) 358-4950 or check here for weekly stocking updates.

Fishing Is Getting Better Every Week By Steve Peacock Star Outdoors Writer

With the spring weather comes many more fishing opportunities. The tributaries have been producing some nice steelhead. Guys are having some success drifting egg sacks that are rigged under a float. The guys that seem to be the most consistently catching fish are the

fly fishermen. I think the reason for this is that the fly rod set up gives you a better, more natural drift. Getting your bait right in front of the fish in a non-threatening way is the key to catching steelhead. The only thing more important than that for being successful is whether or not there are fish there in the first place. With spring coming so early this year, I expect the

fish will finish their business and leave the streams early as well. Other kinds of fish are starting to bite now too. Since the ice went out, people have been catching suckers and mullet, but now I am hearing about some bullheads being caught. As a kid I used to bull head fish every spring. Back then we used to catch more of them. We would always wait for that first warm rain

of the year to bring them in. Then fish from the bank of the Cattaraugus Creek with worms rigged with a sinker at the bottom and two hooks tied on the line a foot or two from the sinker. Once the line is cast out, I reel in just enough to keep the line tight. This allows you to see the tip of your fishing pole move from even the smallest strike. I use this rig any time I am fishing from shore.

Usually when fishing for bullheads or catfish it is dark out so you need a lantern to see the tip of your pole. I haven’t heard yet if anyone has been fishing for Crappie at Chautauqua Lake, but that should be starting up soon. Crappies come in to many of the canals and inlets around the lake this time of the year. So there is a lot of fishing to do so get out there and have fun.

TEEING OFF

Working the ball

IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME

The golf course is a place specially designed to take us away from the norm, that’s why it’s so important to know how to work the ball. Unfortunately, teaching this art is often restricted to low handicaps by instructors who assume that it’s too complicated for all but a few. I do not subscribe to this teaching philosophy. In fact, learning to hit cuts, hooks, high and low shots is crucial even if (or especially when) the golfer is a beginner. Working the ball teaches the student the laws of ball flight — the relationships of clubface, angle of attack, clubhead speed, path and where you make contact on the center of the face. Remember that your golf swing will be no better than your concept of what a good swing is, so time spent trying to work the ball teaches the very basics of the game: what causes the ball to do what it does and, by inference, what you do to cause the ball to do what it does. There is an old saying: “If the ball curves to the right, it’s a slice, if it curves to the left, it’s a hook, and when it goes straight, it’s a miracle!” Miracles aside, the next step in our series on the “when to do what” improvement program is to learn to work the ball. This will take more than one week, so let’s start with the image. It’s important to get used to picturing the shot and your swing as a whole: see it, feel it and even hear it. In this “instant preplay,” pay special attention to your follow-through. While you never consciously try to curve the shot with your swing (that’s overmanipulation), you do want to have a clear concept in your mind of your finish position before you swing. For the draw finish, your club shaft points to the left of target; for the fade, it points more to the right. When you want a high shot, image a high finish; to keep your shot low, image a low finish. PGA Tour player Colt Knost finishes with his club across his shoulder plane and, all things being equal, produces a straight ball flight. The arrows represent fade (top) and draw positions.

Feel the heel in your target hand A good golf grip activates the muscles you want to use in the golf swing, while an incorrect grip encourages use of the wrong muscles. Take your grip with your arms fully extended in front of your chest and close your left hand (right for lefties) around the club handle. You should find that your left thumb falls slightly to the right of the top of the handle. This places your wrist square to the clubface, which is important because when centrifugal force straightens your arms through impact, your wrist joint, elbow joint and shoulder joint seek alignment. Therefore, the clubface must be set at address to prepare for the inevitable alignment of those joints. (Note: Ignore the markings on the grip; they are not meant as guides for your hands.) Your target thumb (the thumb of the highest hand on your grip) plays a major role in the rotation of the clubface through impact. In addition to its anchoring capabilities, your top thumb’s position on the club handle determines the direction in which force is applied to the shaft during your release, and therefore how much the face of your club will rotate through the impact. When your thumb is on the top of the shaft at address, pressure is exerted down the middle of the club shaft, reducing clubface rotation

ABOUT THE WRITER through impact and, Dr. T.J. unless there Tomasi is a teaching is compensaprofessional tion, you’ll in Port St. Lucie, Fla. hit a fade or Visit his a slice. With website at your target tjtomasi.com. thumb down the back of the shaft, the direction of the force causes your clubface to rotate aggressively through impact, imparting the characteristic spin of the draw shot. Another important aspect of thumb positioning influences the length of your golf swing, and that is the grip length of your lead thumb. You can retract your thumb so that only the tip of it touches the grip (called the short thumb), or you can use the long thumb, where all of your thumb touches the grip. The medium thumb is in between. If you want to lengthen your swing and increase your distance, use the long thumb, especially if you are short on physical strength. For a short swing, use the short or fully retracted thumb, as some very powerful players with big chests do. And if you’re in the middle in physical strength and are looking for a combination of distance and accuracy, try the medium thumb, as I am demonstrating in the photo.

er QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“Who are you?” — Jack Nicklaus to Rory McIlroy The glare from a frosted glass in the men’s locker room made it impossible for Nicklaus to identify the young man standing near him. Now that McIlroy has won the Honda, Nicklaus should recognize him easily: Rory is the guy hoisting that big trophy in Nicklaus’ backyard.

Revenge

It’s a soap opera called “As Tiger’s Golf World Turns.” When asked about a book his former confidant Hank Haney wrote, Tiger Woods said he won’t read it, then ended the questioning with an icy “Have a nice day.” Excerpts of Haney’s book, “The Big Miss,” are out, and they are not particularly exciting, which leads me to believe that it’s just a book about Haney’s six years with Tiger, not an expose about cocktail waitresses and the like (or don’t like). My guess is that what’s sticking in Tiger’s craw is not what’s in the book, but a violation of trust. Haney was let in and now he’s cashing out — but not for the cash. Haney doesn’t need the money and he doesn’t need the aggravation; we don’t need to know that Tiger wanted to be a Navy SEAL, and Tiger doesn’t need the intrusion into his life. So why write the book? I think Haney did it to get back at Tiger for dumping him and going to Sean Foley, a young teacher who publicly embarrassed Haney and held him responsible for Tiger’s inferior ball striking. Haney was the only member of Tiger’s inner circle not forced to sign a confidentiality agreement, and he knows Tiger has abhorred the press ever since he was baited into talking freely in an interview with Esquire years ago. So to Haney, what’s better than turning into the press and violating something Tiger holds dear: his privacy. TRY THIS

Nothing but sand • Having trouble getting the ball out of a greenside bunker? TRY THIS: To restore your confidence, practice taking sand without a ball. Make some lines in the sand the size of a dollar bill. Take some practice swings, entering the sand at one end of the “bill” and exiting at the other. This will give you the feel for how much sand to “splash” without worrying about the ball. When you feel you are proficient at this sand-only technique, place a ball in the middle of the “bill” and repeat the process. Keep your focus on taking sand rather than hitting the ball. GOLF SPOKEN HERE

Kick

By placing the grip under the heel pad of your target hand, you free your wrists to hinge properly throughout the golf swing.

I use the medium thumb because it best fits the swing length I want.

A golfer’s term for bounce. “I got a bad kick” means your ball took a bad bounce.

WHAT SCIENCE SAYS

THE GOLF DOCTOR

Looking for Fred Funk’s doctor Begin downswing with a good stretch When 11-year-old Calvin Peete fell out of a tree, he broke his left arm in three places and it never healed correctly, so his forearm couldn’t rotate. He played his first game of golf at 23 in 1966, then qualified for the PGA Tour in 1973 and won 12 times. Peete wasn’t a long hitter, but he was arrow straight, in part because his injury made it easier to avoid the accuracy killer of an over-rotated clubface. I used to kid my students who had trouble with the driver by telling them they needed to find Cal Peete’s doctor. Now, in 2012, the joke has turned out to be true, only it’s Fred Funk’s doctor my students should look for. Funk’s 55-year-old left thumb simply wore out from hitting golf balls all his life, and after the first operation to repair it was a failure, a second procedure was necessary. On the operating table before the anesthesia took effect, the surgeon asked Funk to show him his golf grip so when the surgeon fused his thumb into a permanent position, it would allow a perfect golf grip. Just in case you ever find yourself in the same quandary, here’s what you should know

about your thumb. The “long thumb” position, with the top thumb fully extended along the grip, gives your clubhead the most arc by allowing you to make the largest wrist-andthumb cock possible. The “short thumb” position, where the top thumb is retracted, restricts your thumb’s cocking action, producing more clubhead control but less clubhead arc and less power. The “medium thumb” is in between. And if you’re out of thumbs, how about a toe? Auto mechanic Michael Stevens lost his thumb in a workplace accident and recently had his toe transplanted to act as a thumb. His doctor says it will restore between 60 and 80 percent functionality in his left hand — enough so he can play golf. Fred Funk’s full extension naturally places a strain on his left thumb, so it’s no wonder his thumb simply wore out.

Phil Cheetham is one of the leading golf researchers. He has measured how power is transferred from the golfer to the ball. It’s a process called the dinematic sequence, where power is generated in the big muscles of the back and legs, then transferred to the ball by a series of accelerating and decelerating key body parts during the downswing. First, the pelvis reaches its maximum speed as it accepts energy from your legs and buttocks, then it slows, causing the power to flow into your mid-back and shoulders. Next, the shoulders slow and the flow fills the lead arm, which reaches its max then dumps the energy down the shaft and into the ball. Cheetham has shown that there are three ways to begin your downswing, two of which work well and one you should avoid. The first and best beginning sequence he calls “stretch-

ing,” where the pelvis starts rotating before the shoulders, stretching the muscles prior to contraction. This is the most powerful way to start the downswing. The next sequence is “riding,” where the two sets of muscles — pelvis and shoulders — start at the same speed, traveling together briefly before the pelvis speeds up. These muscles are neither contracting nor stretching, yet force is built up between the segments. The worst sequence for starting your downswing is “fanning,” where the shoulders, arms or wrists start before the pelvis. Here the wrong muscles are contracting too soon, wasting energy and ruining the sequence. Basically, what Cheetham measured are the errors teachers call over-the-top and casting, the major power leaks you need to avoid. His science tells you exactly why.

ASK THE PRO

Don’t believe everything you hear

Q: I watched the match play tournament on TV, and the announcer was talking about Steve Stricker and how he doesn’t cock his wrists, so I tried it and I can’t hit it nearly as far. How does Stricker do it? — T.W. A: He cocks his wrists, but not his thumb. Note that cocking the wrist and cocking the thumb are related, but not identical. Your wrist can cock only about 15 degrees without bending or bowing, but your thumb can cock 90 degrees. If you cock your wrist fully, but restrict the amount of thumb cock, the shaft will

be less than 90 degrees to your forearm, even though the lead wrist is fully cocked. This occurs in the swings of several tour players, including Stricker and J.B. Holmes, prompting TV announcers to say that they are not cocking their wrists, which of course they are. Unfortunately, this misinformation leads golfers to stop cocking their wrists, and that’s a recipe for a loss of power. (To Ask the Pro a question about golf, email him at: TJInsider@aol.com.)

‘Stars’ lineup takes show back to the basics By Dee Wright TV Media

ver the past 13 seasons, “Dancing With the Stars” has had more than 150 different celebrities strut their stuff on the dance floor as they try to learn professional-level routines and impress the judges. Season 14 of the popular series premieres Monday, March 19, on ABC. The past couple of seasons have proven to be more controversial than expected, so producers are likely hoping for good dancing with little chance of scandal or controversy. That way, all of the attention will be on the dancers and performances themselves. When last season’s cast was announced, some people were upset that a transgender individual, Chaz

Bono, had been picked for the lineup. Religious groups called for a boycott of the series, claiming that it was inappropriate for children and families to be exposed to his lifestyle. Bono was the subject of more controversy when judge Len Goodman said that Bono looked like a “fluffy penguin” during one of his performances -- a comment that made Goodman seem disrespectful to overweight people. Last season also suffered a “wardrobe malfunction,” when Nancy Grace’s dress exposed part of her breast while doing the quickstep. Also, a live performance by Chris Brown during the results show was ill received because Brown had recently been convicted of domestic abuse against girlfriend Rihanna.

Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli return to judge the new season of “Dancing With the Stars”

JJ Guns 2 x 2”

With all of those problems last season, hopefully this year’s group will help the series regain ground. Instead of drawing in audiences with potential of arguments or problems, the new cast will revert the series to being about dancing, and dancing alone. The new crew was announced on Feb. 28 during ABC’s morning show, “Good Morning, America.” The lineup consists of Gladys Knight, Jaleel White, Sherri Shepherd, Melissa Gilbert, Martina Navratilova, Jack Wagner, Donald Driver, Maria Menounos, Gavin DeGraw, Roshon Fegan, William Levy and Katherine Jenkins. Knight is an icon in the world of soul music and R&B and rose to fame in the 1960s. Even though her Pips will not be on the stage with her, Knight will prove to be stiff competition for the others because of her ability to connect with music. White is more recognizable with suspenders, thick glasses, hiked-up pants and a high-pitched voice asking “Did I do that?” That’s right -Steve Urkel. The “Family Matters” character became a symbol of 1990s television and was named one of the 50 Greatest TV Characters of All Time by TV Guide, nestled nicely between Roseanne Conner (“Roseanne”) and Ted Baxter (“The Mary Tyler Moore Show”). Recently, White appeared on Fox’s “House” as House’s cellmate.

‘Duck Dynasty’ captures duck-hunting family in action By Kyla Brewer TV Media

act is stranger than fiction, as the old saying goes. Or, at least, more interesting. There’s a reason reality TV has taken off the way it has -- it appeals to the voyeur in all of us who want a peek into the quirky lives of others, wondering how they compare to our own. The latest series to expose an eccentric American family is A&E’s “Duck Dynasty,” premiering Wednesday, March 21. Cameras trail the fascinating Robertsons as they run a successful duck calls and decoys business in Louisiana. Willie Robertson leads the “Duck Dynasty” charge as CEO of Duck Commander, a booming outdoors sporting-goods business. The resident prankster, Willie holds a business degree and is credited with transforming Duck Commander from a living-room operation into a nationwide success. The line of products has expanded to include everything from T-shirts and cooking sauces to DVDs and license plates. The man who started it all, though, is Phil Robertson, the family patriarch. He truly lives his passion, and even turned down the opportunity to play in the NFL in the 1960s because it interfered with duck season. (For the record, he played firststring quarterback ahead of NFL legend Terry Bradshaw at Louisiana Tech University.) Phil created the Duck Commander Duck Call in 1973, and it has become one of the most popular duck whistles ever made. Willie’s brother Jase would rather be in the swamp than earning his keep, but since he needs to contribute to the business, he’s responsible

The Robertson family in “Duck Dynasty” for fabricating the famous Duck Commander calls. Jase’s wife, Missy, is also prominently featured in the series, as is Willie’s better half, Korie. However, the most powerful “Duck Dynasty” female is undoubtedly Miss Kay, Phil’s wife and the boys’ mother. Kay is known far and wide for her cooking, and she often ends up feeding most of the neighborhood. Fans can find recipes for dishes like swamp-seasoned fried duck, duck fajitas and mustard-fried crappie on the Duck Commander website (duckcommander.com). Si Robertson, Phil’s brother and best friend, rounds out the “Duck Dynasty” cast. He makes the reeds that go in the duck calls, but he’s easily distracted and often shares his stories of Vietnam with the guys. The network is hoping viewers will flock to its latest family-oriented reality TV series, joining the ranks of “Dog the Bounty Hunter” and “Billy the Exterminator.” Families that work together seem to be all the rage on television lately, even on A&E with Duane “Dog” Chapman

and Billy Bretherton and their clans. The phenomenon also extends past A&E to History Channel’s Harrison family in “Pawn Stars,” TLC/Discovery Channel’s Teutuls in the “American Chopper” franchise and the Kardashians in “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” on E! Not all families “make it” on TV, of course, and “Duck Commander” should aim to avert the fate of another A&E series “American Hoggers.” The series follows the Campbells, a Texas family that helps people on a mission to help those being overrun by wild boars. A&E originally had the show slated for summer, but later moved the premiere to October. “Hoggers” quickly came under fire from animal rights group PETA, which criticized the show for promoting cruel animal-control measures. Animal-rights activists may not be impressed with a series that celebrates duck hunting either, but hardcore outdoorsmen and women have been buzzing about the series on online message boards, and the comments seem to be mostly posi-

The only danger is that the series may only appeal to that specific niche market and alienate other viewers. There’s also the risk that some viewers may believe the show portrays small town folks as dim-witted hillbillies. But, the truth is, in a depressed economic climate, the Robertsons have found another way to cash in on their already successful business. And, they’re far from a

bunch of back-woods hicks. Willie, Jase, Phil and the others have built a sporting-goods empire, and are enjoying the fruits of their labors. The good news is the Robertsons seem to have a sense of humor about themselves. On their A&E. com page, brothers Willie and Jase quip about the pros and cons of working with family, with Willie claiming “You can’t fire your family when they screw up” as a con.

StarsonScreen By Sheila Busteed TV Media ‘GOOD’ LUCK: Matthew Perry is

getting friendly with a new network. CBS recently announced that the sitcom star will debut his recurring role as Mike, a Chicago-based attorney, on “The Good Wife” next week. Perry will begin his arc on the critically acclaimed drama on Sunday, March 25. In this episode, Alicia (played by Julianna Margulies) is given a seat on a panel that is looking into a suspicious police shooting. As the panel’s chairman, Mike makes some questionable moves that trigger a rift to form between the two attorneys. Perry joins the ranks of a rather distinguished group of guest stars for the series, including Michael J. Fox, America Ferrera, Gary Cole, Rita Wilson, Lisa Edelstein, Martha Plimpton, Parker Posey and Mamie Gummer, among others. Perry is, of course, best known for his hilarious role as Chandler Bing in the wildly successful NBC sitcom “Friends.” Since its demise in 2004, Perry hasn’t been as lucky to find work with staying power. After only a two-year break, he returned to an NBC prime-time slot with “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.” It had a solid cast and garnered award-season attention, but it never made it past the first season. After that, he starred in and wrote “Mr. Sunshine,” but that was an even shorter venture, lasting only 13 episodes before being canned by

ABC. A SHORE THING: Pauly Shore will get to prove that he’s far from being dead when CMT premieres his new movie. The cabler will debut “Whiskey Business” on Sunday, March 25. In the flick, Shore stars as Nicky Ferelli, a mob boss’s son from New Jersey who hides out in the South after being falsely accused of murder. While living in Tennessee, he begins brewing his own brand of moonshine. He falls in love with country living and decides to team up with some of the locals to run the corrupt sheriff out of town. Shore’s co-stars include John Schneider (“Smallville”), country singer Tanya Tucker, Cynthia Preston (“General Hospital”), Brad Borbridge (“Happy Town”) and Nick Mancuso (1992’s “Under Siege”). “Pauly Shore is a CMT fan-favorite and we’re thrilled to be in business with him on this movie,” said CMT’s Mary Beth Cunin. “Pauly’s movie ‘Son In Law’ is one of CMT’s top performers, so to find a new vehicle to showcase his talent and popularity is

Matthew Perry, seen here in the nowdefunct series “Mr. Sunshine,” returns to TV with a recurring role on “The Good Wife”

an exciting opportunity.” The film, which was shot in Canada and directed by Rob Iscove (1999’s “She’s All That”), is an Entertainment One Television production. Shore is best known for his goofball humor, which was featured in such ‘90s fare as “Encino Man” (1992), “Son In Law” (1993), “In the Army Now” (1994) and “BioDome” (1996). His career died off a bit after that, but it was revived, ironically, in 2003 with the release of his independent mockumentary “Pauly Shore is Dead.” Many celebrities did cameos in the film, including Sean Penn, Ellen DeGeneres, Charlie Sheen, Jerry Springer, Pamela Anderson, Tommy Chong, Snoop Dogg and Britney Spears.

MORE ‘MEDIUM’:

Skeptics still question the authenticity of psychic abilities, but there are plenty of people out there who believe mediums are for real. It’s a concept that has done well on televi-

sion, too. Currently, CBS’s “Unforgettable” is doing quite well in the ratings but it is merely fiction. For a taste of what real mediums can do, viewers should turn to TLC as it readies for the return of “Long Island Medium.” The second season of the hit reality series will premiere on Sunday, March 25. Cameras once again focus their attention on Theresa Caputo, a wife and mother with a unique personality and an unearthly ability to converse with the dead. Her business as a professional medium is going so well that she currently has a waiting list of more than two years, according to the network. But the show doesn’t

merely feature Caputo and her work; it also highlights her struggles to balance the work with her family life. The fact that she can’t “turn off” the messages relayed through her by the dead to the living has made life a little more difficult for the whole family, and it even interrupts everyday activities. The new season will include more spontaneous readings as Caputo feels compelled to pass on these messages to strangers while she’s out shopping or even at the dentist’s office. It’ll also feature an appearance by Caputo’s “spiritual healer” -- the woman who helped her discover and learn to work with her gift.

Food’s good deed: Programming block helps charity bake sales TV Media

SATURDAY

hen we hear about hunger, we don’t always think about it being present in our own communities. Our grocery store shelves are brimming with food options, and shows such as “Extreme Couponing” perpetuate the idea of abundance. But the sad reality is that, according to a 2011 USDA report, more than 16 million children right here in the United States aren’t getting the nutritious meals they need on a regular basis. And rising food and fuel costs are doing little to end that trend. As much as the Food Network can feature some decadent-looking stuff sometimes, it’s also mindful that food is not just a hobby or a passion -- it’s a necessity for us all. In keeping with that awareness, it has partnered with Share Our Strength (strength.org), a non-profit organization committed to putting an end to childhood hunger. On Sunday, March 18, the Food Network is dedicating its morning block in support of that partnership. Food’s “Share Our Strength Bake Sale” cooking block includes episodes aimed at inspiring bakers across the country who may be participating in Share Our Strength’s fundraising campaign known as the Great American Bake Sale (gabs.strength.org). This includes an episode of “Mexican Made Easy,” in which Marcela Valladolid prepares Mexican desserts and pastries that are perfect for sharing including tres leches cake and chocolate-filled cinnamon-dusted churros.

Cards prepare for post-Pujols era By Joel Duplessis TV Media

he 2012 Major League Baseball season is fast approaching, and fans are again gearing up for the excitement of opening day. For fans in St. Louis, there’s an uncertainty about the future, as the defending World Series champs are looking to build off of a difficult offseason and begin the post-Albert Pujols era. There’s no way to know how the loss of their MVP first baseman and Hall of Fame manager, Tony La Russa, will affect the team on the field. Despite those losses, the Cardinals do have the pieces in place to rebound successfully, and there’s reason to be hopeful that St. Louis can reach the post-season dance in October. Look no further than the re-vamped starting rotation as a point of emphasis for the coming season. For starters, Adam Wainwright is back. The anchor of the staff is slated to return after missing the entire 2011 season due to injury. Barring any setbacks, the ace of the rotation will provide the foundation for a top-tier pitching staff, and he may even compete for a CY Young if he stays healthy. The rest of the rotation is projected to consist of Chris Carpenter, Kyle Lohse, Jaime Garcia and Jake Westbrook. If Carpenter can avoid the early slump he endured last year and regain his playoff form, this rotation can go up against any club in the National League. Additionally, the outfield will play a huge role in determining how far the Cards can go this season. Offseason acquisition Carlos Beltran joins Jon Jay and Matt Holliday to form one of the game’s most formidable outfield trios -- both on the field and at the plate. And who can forget the hometown hero David Freese? The clutch-hitting third baseman will be looking to build on his breakout season and establish a role as a leader on the field. Along with catcher Yadier Molina, the Cards will have plenty of leadership on the field to help fill the void left by La Russa. (62) NBCSN NHL Hockey Washington
