Southern hospitality By Scott Wise Senior Copy Writer

I’ve heard the statement my whole life, but up until recently ‘Southern Hospitality” didn’t mean much to me. Last weekend, I took a trip to Indiana, right on the border of the Ohio River next to Louisville, Kentucky. The entire trip was incredible- but what blew my mind was the intensity of the customer service, and hospitality in general, while we were down there. continueD on pg 2

The region that is becoming known as “America’s Grape Country” will soon be home to a gift shop/retail center that will serve as a destination for those looking to learn more about the grape and wine industries. While a firm opening date for what will be known as the Grape Discovery Center has yet to be established, newly hired manager Mackenzie Cady is hopeful that the facility will be operational by the end of May. “Things are going really well and we are making a lot of progress, so right now we are targeting an

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 2013

coMMentary, continueD froM pG. 1 A few weeks ago, my wife and I were discussing the lack of customer service we often experience. It seems that too many employees have stopped caring about making the customer the top priority. Of course, it all stems back to the entitlement mentality being forged by our government, but that’s another commentary… one I’ve already written, actually. What’s true, though, is the unfortunate fact that so many employees today simply don’t have a care for the customer. In all actuality, they actually come across as arrogant in their role. A mentality of, “I work here, so you should feel grateful I’m waiting on you.” What happened to ‘the customer is always right’? I’ve spent nearly seven of my nine working years in customer service, and to some degree still do, and I’ll never forget what was instilled in me by my former employers. The customer, absolutely, is always right. Even when they’re wrong, they’re right. And if they’re really wrong, they’re usually still right.

Anyways, what blew my mind about the trip to Indiana was the customer service I experienced at every place we went. Our hotel, the restaurants, shopping centers, even fast-food restaurants, each and every employee went out of their way to make sure that we had a great time while we were there. If you ask me what it is that makes the difference, I’d have to say I don’t really know. Maybe it’s the lack of lake effect snow, so their hearts grow bigger instead of hibernating for seven months a year. Maybe it’s the lack of crippling state taxes and welfare (to be honest, I don’t know the comparison of New York and Indiana’s tax and welfare system). Maybe it’s the fact that they’re just at the top of the ‘Bible belt,’ and they all feel it is their good Christian duty. Regardless of the cause, the result remains true. In my experience, New York customer service is seriously lacking. I would implore you, if you’re in customer service or know someone in it, to

taX ManDateS, continueD froM pG 1 remember that you are there to serve your company, not the other way around. You are there to make sure that when someone comes into your establishment, they leave with a good taste in their mouth and want to return again. A smile can do that, but so can a nice conversation. We aren’t in this world to just make money or to clock in and clock out. We are here to have relationships with people. Even if you only see someone for three minutes once in your life, wouldn’t you want those three minutes to be remembered fondly? This has left me with a job, too. While I no longer work directly in customer service, I am going to make it my goal that each time I interact with an employee at an establishment; we part ways leaving each other for the better. I want them to know that not all customers will abuse ‘the customer is always right,’ but rather will try to be and do right. Let’s bring the southern hospitality to the north. In my opinion, our area is already miles above the rest of the state in terms of the

Too many of our young people are leaving New York after they attain college degrees because there is just not enough opportunity or incentive to stay.” Chautauqua County residents will be relieved to know that Edwards reduced property taxes every year since his first term in 2005, despite the increased money needed to fund state mandates. Cuomo’s Mandate Relief Council is still in effective and reviewing requests, and will vote on which legislation will be relieved in the near future. It is expected that mandate relief will be a key issue in the 2014 gubernatorial election in New York State.

Vice President

When we asked about his duties, he stated: “We have provided 213 examples to alleviate mandates, and are open to any and all options put forth to reduce obligations on counties.” One possible solution coming to New Yorkers is Cuomo’s mandate relief council. Comprised of an eleven-member executive and legislative council, their purpose is to review and advance proposals to reduce the statutory and regulatory burden on local governments and school districts. In testimony to the New York State Mandate Relief Council, Edwards stressed the need for the state to reform itself to provide motivation for New Yorkers to stay in New York. “Homeowners and businesses across the state are counting on the success of this council to help improve our economic competitiveness and make living and raising a family in New York more affordable and

County residents are encouraged to be responsible pet owners by having pets vaccinated.

Rabies is a very serious disease of warm-blooded animals caused by a virus. Raccoons, bats, skunks and foxes are the common disease carriers. The virus is transmitted to humans and animals through saliva. It can enter the body from a bite, scratch, scrape or open cut. The rabies virus infects the central nervous system, causing brain swelling and ultimately death within days

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pet of the Week

Pets of the Week

This week we are featuring “Remington” and “Tiger.” Remington is a seven-year-old Chow mix. He likes to go for walks and walks well on a leash. He is a laid back guy that needs a quieter home without small children. He is also available for our Seniorfor-Senior program. Tiger is a ten-month-old kitty that is sweet as can be. He is very affectionate and will give kitty “kisses” when you pet him. He would do great in any home. If you would like to adopt either Remington or Tiger, please stop by the Strunk Road Adoption Center. They deserve a second chance. Won’t you give it to them?

HEALTH SECTION

Students Learn About Health Careers at WCA’s “Career Day” By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor

Students from JCC, the HEWES BOCES Center and Jamestown Leah (Loving Education at Home) convened at WCA last week to learn about the numerous opportunities in the healthcare field and what is anticipated to be a dramatic increase in demand for all types of health-related professionals. WCA’s “Career Day” gave students a first-hand, interactive, educational experience to learn about various health careers such as nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, pharmacy, mental health, central service, food service, speech and hearing, radiology and more. Those interested in emergency medical transports were also given a tour of WCA Services Starflight helicopter, helipad and ambulance. Jana O’Camb, Interim Director of Human Resources at WCA said, “There are a

lot of opportunities in a hospital (not just being a doctor or nurse). We just want to make sure that students are aware of that.” As the result of healthcare reform, and the retirement of baby boomers there will be what O’Camb calls “an explosion in health care careers.” As one of the county’s leading employers with almost 1,000 employees, WCA hopes to meet that demand head-on. Students as young as kindergarten attended the health fair, which is not too soon, as far as O’Camb is concerned. “There are students from kindergarten to college (here). There is a decision making phase in getting them involved in what they want to do.” She adds, “You can get a job here with a high school diploma or an advanced degree. It just depends on what the student wants to invest in education.” Linda Johnson, Public Relations Officer at WCA, agrees that exposing young people to the medical profession as early as possible

is a good way to get them thinking about the various career paths in health. She also sees it as a way to keep young people in the area. “How are you going to get them interested in coming back home after they go to college?” As students learned during career day, one way is having the incentive of good paying jobs. As one example, Johnson cites Registered Nurses, who she says make a good wage right out of college. “We have many nurses that are supporting their families.” She continues, “So, you have good paying jobs, and your saving lives - it’s a great thing to do with your life.” Johnny Nixon is a homeschooled student who attended Career Day with other students from Leah. An 11th grader, Nixon has his sights on Emergency Medical Services as a possible career and is even considering the possibility of becoming a physician. He calls the medical field “very interesting.”

A student attending WCA Hospital’s Career Day stops to learn about careers in radiology.

At the radiology table, Amanda Bender, a clinical instructor and Aleesha Milk, attract the attention of students who pick up their props of a human skull and hand skeleton. They also wish to find out if, as radiologists, they are exposed to a high degree of radiation. Bender assures them that regular monitoring prevents any danger.

At another exhibit, Michelle Harms, Program Director of WCA’s School of Medical Technology explains the importance of lab tests to physicians diagnosing ailments from strep throat to leukemia. She adds, “once you have that laboratory science degree you can branch out; you don’t have to stay inside a hospital. You can even work with sick

animals.” “That’s something I want to do,” says Kyra Campbell, a 9th grade student attendee, interested in becoming a veterinarian. To apply for employment opportunities at WCA Hospital, interested persons may visit www.wcahospital. org for more information.

Caroline Spoth, BA, RRT, Director of Cardiopulmonary Services at

A.W.A.K.E. stands for Alert, Well, And Keeping Energetic, an acronym for the group whose mission it is to give people with sleep apnea the tools to manage their own health care successfully. Officials say that sleep disorders conservatively affect more than 20 million adults. According to the ASAA, sleep apnea

is an involuntary cessation of breathing that occurs while an individual is sleeping. If left untreated, the problem can have serious consequences including but not limited to high blood pressure, strokes, heart disease and an increased risk of motor vehicle accidents. This is the second meeting of the new group, the closest support group in the area outside of Erie and Buffalo. Officials plan

to host quarterly meetings and welcome ideas from group participants about future topics. More information about the Sleep Center at Brooks Memorial Hospital can be found at LakeErieHealth.org.

RELIGION SECTION Catholic Corner

“HABEMUS PAPAM” (We have a Pope) Contributed Article Rev. Craig Stratton

Those were the words spoken to the masses gathered in St. Peter’s Square on Wednesday. Lent is a time in the Church Liturgical Year when the thoughts of all Christians focus on Christ and leading up to the sacrifice that he made for all of us and for our sins. Catholics seem to have been very aware of their own Lenten practices because, not only have we been in anticipation of Holy Week and the triumphant resurrection on Easter morn, but were also looking to the future in anticipation and wonder about what may be in store for our Holy Roman Church under the leadership of a new Pope. We no longer need to wonder about who will lead us and

the future of the Church will be constantly unfolding. My observation is that Catholics have been very aware and interested in the proceedings taking place in Rome this past week. Gone are the days when it was just assumed that the Pope would be Italian and congregants across the globe have their dreams and favorites to hold as spiritual leader of a community that numbers, arguably at about a billion followers. Still many were surprised with the choice of Cardinal Bregoglio of Argentina. Surprised, because it was still true (until now) that Popes always come from Europe. For a Pope to come from Latin America, Asia, or Africa was probably over due in our modern church. Okay… the truth is that while he is

from Argentina, he is actually of Italian parentage! Still significant since while the US Roman Catholic Church has seen a drop in participation, in the developing countries it has been very strong and growing. Argentina has about 31 million Catholics (70% of their population) and the Latin American countries together hold up to 30% of the worlds Catholics. Cardinal Bergoglio has chosen to be known by the name of Pope Francis I as he becomes the 266th successor of Peter. Many hailed his selection as a man of sincere and deep spirituality. His first remarks were of prayer for Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI who has chosen to dedicate his life to prayer for the Church. He also pledged that he will evangelize Rome,

where he is officially the Bishop of Rome. The Church has a rich history of and continues to care for others…over seas, the poor, the ill, the infirm, the least of the least. This may be a time when Catholics need to turn their focus inward. The American Church has many members who lack the zeal and fire that characterize growing faiths. The call to evangelize may well be expressed in helping distanced Catholics back to their home in the Church. Pope Francis I may be just the person to lead us into that future. He has a history of being a humble man known for using public transportation, shunning grand styles of living, and being an excellent Jesuit educator and scholar. St Francis of Assisi is a beloved and humble figure, who rebuilt

All this week, bishops have met in Rome’s Sistine Chapel (above) to cast votes on the church’s next pope.

the Church at the time while St. Francis Xavier, a founder of the Jesuits was an educator, cared for the sick, and evangelized. Both great models! Our beloved “PaPa” asks us to pray for him; that offer is open to all Christians and our friends as we live in a truly

international community that grows smaller and closer daily. Craig Stratton is an Ordained Deacon in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rochester and is married to Shirley Stratton, a regular contributor to the Catholic Corner.

The Weekly Word

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church Jamestown thenewfamilychurch.com

Faith or Suspicion? Most people, regardless of what denomination they are from, have a God “can be” type of faith. They believe God “can be” a Savior. They believe God “can be” a Healer. Most people believe God “can,” but very few are willing to believe He “will.” When we say God “can” but are not sure if He “will” then we have become suspicious of His character. We start to question whether or not His hand is truly open and extended toward us. Suspicion is something we should reserve towards enemies; not God. Suspicion is something that is reserved towards people that have failed in the past. Suspicion is reserved for strangers, not someone we know. God has never failed. God has

never lied. His Word has never been proven false and He has never taunted anybody with good and then pulled it away. We can never be justified of suspicion towards God. And if you are suspicious then you are not in faith. If we are suspicious towards God then it’s because we don’t know Him like we should. When you know the character of someone to be true your suspicions will not endure. For example, if you were dying of dehydration and you saw me standing with cases of bottled water you would want me to help you. It would be an insult to my character if you believed I “could” but wasn’t sure if I “would.” If I wouldn’t give you water I would be a criminal. My actions would make people

suspicious of me. But, on the other hand, if I was known as someone who gave water to every thirsty person on the street, you would have no reason to doubt that I would give you water. Suspicion doubts the intentions of somebody else. This is what Christians do to God; they believe he can but are not sure if He will. That is not faith; it’s suspicion. Hebrews 11:6 says, “But without faith it is impossible to please God. For he that comes to Him must believe that GOD IS, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.” Notice faith believes what God IS before believing what God does. People must first trust in God’s character before they can trust in His power. Notice also that is says that faith

must believe that “God is”. Some people have thought that this verse is telling us that we must believe that God exists. That’s not what this verse is saying. The Bible is clear: There is nothing special about believing that God exists. The demons believe that. ( James 2:19) This verse is telling us that faith isn’t faith until you believe that “God is” what you’re asking Him for. For example, if you are in need of salvation then you must believe that “God is” the Savior. If you are in need of healing then you must believe that “God is” the Healer. God is the Rewarder. God is the Provider. God is the Restorer of marriages. It says God is! Not God “can be”. There is nothing admirable about believing God “can be”. Faith says God is!

be you’d rather live with other active seniors. Maybe you just want a change. If so, you have plenty of options. Independent living communities are designed for the active and healthy senior who is able to live on their own. You can live in a home, condo, townhouse, apartment complex, motor home or mobile home. They are the same as a traditional neighborhood but with age restrictions— usually 55 and older. And they provide amenities like clubhouses, gyms, yard

maintenance, housekeeping and security. Most communities also typically offer transportation, laundry service, group meals, and social and cultural activities. Before we look at what kind of community is right for you, let’s look at some senior statistics. Seniors by the Numbers In a 2010 report by The Federal Interagency Forum on Aging-Related Statistics called “Older Americans 2010: Key Indicators of

Well-Being,” we found the following statistics that may interest you: People who reach age 65 will live another 18.5 years v. just 4 years longer in 1960. From 2006 to 2008, 74.5% of those 65 and older reported being in good to excellent health. About 22% of seniors reported regular physical activity. Seniors 65 to 74 report doing 7 hours of daily leisure activities; watching TV account for 4 hours.

The housing burden cost for seniors increased from 30% to 37% between 1985 and 2007. Forty percent of seniors in 2007 had one or more of the following housing issues: “housing cost burden, physically inadequate housing, and/or crowded housing.” What’s Right for Me? This is a big question for many seniors and worth careful consideration. The answer may take weeks, Continued on pg 13

Contributed Article Chautauqua County Historical Society

A number of individuals in the Westfield area are working to restore a fountain to Moore Park, located in the center of the village. In the early 1820s a fountain was first installed in front of the McClurg Mansion (today the McClurg Museum), making it one of the earliest fountains in all of Western New York. It remained in use for an estimated 50 years, before finally being turned off in 1872 and removed not long after. Now, an effort is once again underway to bring the fountain back. The Mansion and the Fountain James McClurg was an early pioneer of Westfield

Your Retirement Is Deﬁnitely Worth Planning For You’ve heard it said before: Timing is everything. Especially when it comes to starting your Social Security benefits. More than 90% of working Americans are counting on Social Security to replace part of their current incomes when they retire, but the truth is the majority of those already drawing benefits receive permanently reduced amounts due to ill-informed timing decisions. In fact, many Americans fail to take into account the true impact of factors such as age, job status, taxes and marital status when deciding when to start receiving benefits. And that can prove to be a costly mistake. Don’t make the same mistakes other retirees make. It could mean leaving money on the table at atime when you’ll need it most. That’s why it’s important to develop a strategy to maximize your household Social Security benefits and enhance your overall retirement income plan. After all, a little planning now can go a long way – and in this case, we’re talking a lifetime.

Bemus Point resident Hans Auer, formerly of Austria, operated the ski school, ski shop and rental program at Eagle Ridge Ski Resort in Westﬁeld. (Photo by Patricia Pihl)

DeMambro was the second owner of the resort when he was asked to run what was the Sears Ski Shop at the location. Auer came to the states in 1964, and was then working for Sears and Roebuck, which at the time, was actively involved in winter ski equipment and the ski business.

“Serendipity” Just after the purchase of Eagle Ridge, Auer said DeMambro was at a ski show in Buffalo when he connected with the Sears’ officials, asking them if they would be willing to put a ski shop in his new resort. Auer, who was working for

Sears in Denver, was asked if he would be interested in taking a look at Eagle Ridge. The Austrian, accustomed to the high peaks and sublime skiing of his homeland, was not initially impressed. After looking at the location, he told his wife, “You will not believe it, this is an upside down ski place…you ski down

will become less efficient causing the computer temperatures to rise. Many factors go into what determines the temperature of your computer. A normal computer or laptop will usually run around 104 degrees. If you play video games for hours at a time, play music, or watch movies, you increase the load of computer processing, which in turn creates more heat. If your cooling system is working properly your temperature will climb slightly. The central processors and graphic processors are engineered to work under a temperature range. If the chip becomes too hot, the computer has a built in system that will shut the computer down so that the chip will not “cook”. That is a great thing because that can preserve the processor and in turn save you money. Remember to keep your computer clean and cool by having your computer checked by a computer technician or a friend that knows their way around a computer. It will save you time and money in the long run. Philip Bens has worked in Information Technolog y for 15 years. He currently is the Technolog y Coordinator at Cassadaga Valley Central School District.

into the gulley and the lift brings you back up.” Adding to its characteristic “upside-down” feature was that cars were parked at the top, rather than at the bottom at the resort. As it turned out, he received a “very good” fiveyear contract with Sears and Roebuck, saying, “I could not turn it down. I was new in the country with a new baby, so I took it.” The chance meeting with Sears’ officials in Buffalo is what Auer characterizes as “total serendipity for Tony DeMambro.” “Tony was very smart … Sears had the money to do promotions that he could not afford to do. For example, we ran a program through The Buffalo News that ran buses from Buffalo to Eagle Ridge.” DeMambro, said Auer, “didn’t have the money to own the ski shop and didn’t have a certified professional ski instructor.” Eagle Ridge Memories Once up and running, Eagle Ridge did quite well, as many local residents, who were teenagers at the time, remember. Auer says, “it was a great place for all the locals. There were a lot of people that started skiing out there from the local schools like Westfield, North East and Mayville …even Jamestown.”

“Back then companies also had local ski clubs. Auer remembers Welch’s and other corporate clubs frequenting the slopes. Skiing gave area residents a hobby, which enabled them to enjoy, and not merely endure winter. He says he and wife always promoted skiing with local businesses, which gave workers “something to look forward to.” Auer quipped, “winter is nice if you do something with it.” John Monaco was a Westfield teenager when he worked the t-bar at Eagle Ridge in 1967. He remembers Eagle Ridge as being well run and maintained. “It was a great place to work, and a great ski resort; it did a lot of business.” Monaco also said that there were quite a few trails for a small resort, and even the small slope was more challenging than what it appeared. On his first venture on Eagle Ridge’s small hill, he recalled deliberately falling and then rolling to the bottom landing near a fence, which was very close to the creek. Overall, he said his time there “was a “great memory.” Tragedy Strikes Auer remembers the day of DeMambro’s death on the slopes in 1969. “It was a Sunday, one of the busiest we ever had out there. All of a sudden an alarm went

off and people started running and screaming.” In a report by snowjournal.com, DeMambro’s son wrote about the incident: “In Feb. of 1969 my dad put a snow gun in the bucket of a front end loader, hoping that by raising the gun it could be directed downward, (and) still have time to freeze and not blow into the trees. At some point the machine failed and he was killed.” DeMambro’s blog continued: “For several years after that my mother, uncle, and cousin ran the lodge as a very successful night club open on weekends only with live music. Now the property is a private home.” The incident dissolved Auer’s contract with Sears and he said he never returned. The ski resort was also hampered by essentially being on the wrong side of the hill (Westfield), and as such, was near the warmer Lake Erie air, rather than on the Mayville side, which is known for receiving much greater snowfall. However, both Auer and Monaco remember much snowier winters in those years. Despite its location on the escarpment and the misfortune of DeMambro’s death, most agree that Eagle Ridge had a short, but good go of it as Westfield’s little ski resort.

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 2013

McClurg, Continued from pg 7 William Moore, McClurg’s grandson, states in 1916, “He took much pride in this home, sending away for rare trees and shrubs, which he trimmed into ornamental shapes to adorn the grounds, and conveying water in pipes from springs half a mile distant to operate a large fountain in which gold fish were kept on the grounds.” According to the 1881 Atlas of Chautauqua County, there is an image of a “reservoir” shown over three blocks away from the mansion, on the south side of Third Street, between Union and Spring Streets. It is believed this was James McClurg’s original reservoir for his home. At some point after McClurg’s death in 1872, the village, which then controlled the reservoir, turned off the fountain. The earliest photo of the McClurg Mansion (mid 1870s) shows the base of the fountain with a flower urn sitting on top of it and the pond that was in the park has been filled in with dirt. It has remained that way until now. It is believed that the metal base was removed during the World War II scrap metal drive. Bringing the Fountain Back to Moore Park According to McClurg Museum curator John Paul Wolfe, in 1989, Eleanor Warner, a former school teacher/historian in Chautauqua County, gave her fountain to the Chautauqua County Historical Society to be placed in front of the Mansion.

“The historical society received this fountain in 1991 from Daniel Gardner of Falls Church, Va.,” Wolfe explains. “It is molded cast iron, created by the Joseph W. Fiske Co. of New York City in c.1868. This fountain is now residing on the first floor of the McClurg Museum in its restroom. It has been waiting for twenty years to be placed in the Park!” Wolfe says a McClurg Fountain restoration project is now underway, organized by individuals, community groups and public entities in the Westfield area. The lead agency is the Chautauqua County Historical Society, with support from the Village of Westfield, which owns Moore Park. Under the restoration plan, the antique cast iron fountain, electric (for security lights and cameras) and water will all be provided by the historical society. Bricks, which will surround the water basin, are being provided by the Village of Westfield. The Westfield Beautification Committee will be planting the shrub rose garden surrounding the fountain pond. These roses are being used to both coordinate with the Lincoln-Bedell Park roses and to create a “visual buffer” for the fountain. Wolfe explains that the main funding source for this project will be the local Westfield community. “We are launching a fundraising campaign and, assuming sufficient funds are acquired, the project will be begun in May 2013,

grape discovery center, Continued from pg 1 with an estimated completion date of August 2013,” he says. Wolfe adds that the historical society has also applied for a Community Pride Matching Grant from the Northern Chautauqua Region Community Foundation and emphasizes that no actual monies will be used from either the Village of Westfield or the historical society. Instead, the hope is that the project brings the community together, similar to the highly successful 1999-2000 Lincoln-Bedell statue project (which was on a much larger scale) Individuals, community groups, organizations, and local businesses are being asked to participate in fundraising. If anyone is interested in participating in this project, money (of any amount) can be sent to: Chautauqua County Historical Society, Box 7, Westfield, NY 14787. Please make sure to note that your donation is for the McClurg Fountain Project. Any money received will be place in a Restricted Fountain Project account with the historical society. If the fundraising is not completed by May 2013, the project will be canceled and all monies will be returned to the individual donors. If anyone has any questions, please contact the McClurg museum at 716-326-2977, e-mail: mcclurg@fairpoint.net, or John Paul Wolfe, historical society Trustee and McClurg Museum Curator at 716-326-3714.

Cady points to her background of being raised on a local grape vineyard, her high academic achievements and a skill set that specializes in organization and self-delegation as attributes that made her the ideal candidate for the job. Cady and members of the Concord Grape Belt Heritage Association are staying busy by physically preparing the gift shop/retail area so that a wide variety of grape products can be displayed and sold. There will also be exhibits and rotating displays that will provide educational opportunities for all visitors. In addition, space will be dedicated for wine tastings, with vendors being signed up, thanks to the efforts of

Cady and a dedicated committee of volunteers. “The Grape Discovery Center is going to be a truly unique destination that will promote the grape industry,” says Cady. “This will allow our community to serve as a central hub that can be visited by local residents, tourists, school groups, civic organizations and other types of clubs. It is our hope to help with the region’s economic development and the end result should be an increase in tourism and an enhanced quality of life for all of us who live in this community.” The Grape Discovery Center will specifically target tourists in Chautauqua County’s wine region, with the summer months of June, July and August expected to be a busy time

for visitors to come to town and learn how the area is an agri-tourism destination. The Concord Grape Belt Heritage Association is a non-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation interested in economic development, with the Grape Discovery Center representing one of the projects that it is working to bring into existence.

-Tai Chi -Line dancing, square dancing, ballroom dancing -Golf Other Activities: To help balance your physical activities, here are some leisure activity suggestions: Become a volunteer. What are your interests? People? Animals? Art? History? The environment? For every interest there is an organization that needs your help. Join a book reader’s group. This is a great way to meet

new people, socialize, and keep your mind engaged. Put that wisdom to good use: Mentor a child. These programs are often run through libraries, churches and organizations like Big Brothers, Big Sisters. Work in a community (coop) garden. You’ll get your hands into the soil. Meet new people. And get to eat the fruits (and veggies) of your labor. Get involved in civic activities like voter registration, campaigning, etc. Take enrichment classes at

your local college. Learn to paint, photograph, write, program computers—there are subjects for every interest. Summary This list of ways for active seniors to spend their days is just the tip of the iceberg. Try an internet search for activities in your area and you’ll find hundreds more. The important thing is to make regular activitiesboth physical and leisure- a part of your day. You’ll age healthier in your limbs, heart and mind.

Contributed Article

Active Seniors, continued from pg 6 months and even years of thought. To start, take an inventory of your life now that you’re retired. Here are some basic questions to ask: Are you happy in your home and neighborhood? Do you dread doing yard work in the summer heat? Are the four bedrooms too much to clean? Do you live close enough to family? Do your friends still live near you? Would you rather live close to the water, mountains, in the country or in a city?

Financially, are you secure in your present home? Or do you need to downsize? Are property taxes too much? Would you rather live with other active seniors? Or do you enjoy living in a mixed-age neighborhood? Physical Activities You’re healthy and don’t want to sit around and watch TV. Now what? For starters, in order to stay healthy, you should make regular exercise part of your day. You’ll have more energy; your mood will

improve; and daily activities will become easier. Plus, exercise benefits people with arthritis, heart disease, diabetes or high blood pressure. Consult a doctor before starting any new activity. Here are some options: -Walking, jogging -Swimming, aqua aerobics -Cycling -Yoga, Pilates -Strength training -Stretching -Cross country skiing

The Silver Creek Black Knights didn’t lose any non-division games this past high school basketball season. They didn’t lose any CCAA Division 2 games. They didn’t lose a game in the Section 6 Class C playoffs. Why would they lose in the Far West Regionals? Answer: They wouldn’t and they didn’t. Led by Zeddie Williams’ gamehigh 16 points, the Black Knights squeaked by Section 5 champion Mynderse, 53-47, Saturday at the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester. Twelve of Williams’ points came in the second half as the standout senior simply refused to lose — though he had plenty of help from his Silver Creek teammates. Brennan White had a huge three-pointer in the second half, center Bill Brooks added 13 points and 12 rebounds and Steve Marcey was good for 12 points and five rebounds. Silver Creek turned a threepoint deficit into a nine-point lead with a 14-2 run to close the third quarter. The Black Knights will enter Saturday’s state semi-final game in Glens Falls ranked No. 2 in New York State. They will take on the top-seeded Pine Plains Bombers from Section 9. On the other end of Far West Regional action, both the Jamestown boys’ and girls’ teams, as well as the Sherman boys’ and girls’ teams fell just short in their

quests to bring home a state title. The Red Raiders fell, 53-41, to Section 5 champion Bishop Kerney in the Class AA Far West Regional championship. Chinoso Obokoh, who is headed for NCAA Division 1 basketball at Syracuse in the Fall, accounted for 12 points, 19 rebounds and a pair of blocks. Tommy Campion hit four treys

and scored 20 points for Jamestown in the final game of his remarkable high school career. He’ll finish fi fth in school history with 1,145 career points. The Lady Red Raiders got pulled into a track meet they couldn’t win as they fell to Section 5’s GatesChili, 80-59, in their Far West Regional championship game. Anne Campion led Jamestown

with 15 points with Chrisanna Green adding 14 and Karisha Tapia was good for another 13, but the Lady Red Raiders couldn’t shake off a 10-point halftime deficit. Sherman also provided sectional champions on both the boys’ and girls’ sides, but like Jamestown, neither could claim the Far West Regional crown. The Lady Wildcats came out cold and never caught up in losing to Section 5’s Batavia-Notre Dame, 70-32. The Fighting Irish jumped out to a 20-2 lead and reality set in pretty quickly for Sherman. Despite 19 points from the alwayssensational Elle Reed, the Lady Wildcats journey didn’t have the fairy-tale ending the Sherman faithful were hoping for. The same was true for the Sherman boys, who fell to Section 5’s University Prep, 71-55. Andrew Graham capped a fine season with 17 points while Nate Ottaway (10 points, eight rebounds) and Jake Card (eight points, 10 rebounds) both narrowly missed double-doubles. An 11-2 run by the Griffi ns to end the third quarter essentially ended the game as Sherman was never able to close the gap. Even with the four losses, Chautauqua County produced five (six if you count Frewsburg’s Class C2 title) sectional champions. That’s a good year by any measure and it’s not over yet. We’ll know by Saturday if Silver Creek’s dream of a New York State title is still a possibility.

The temperature climbed into the 50s over the weekend and athletes everywhere broke out the shorts, running shoes, basketballs, baseball mitts, roller blades and anything else that would get them off the couch after a long, cold winter. There were even a few who couldn’t wait any longer and went out to play nine holes at Sugar Hill Golf Course in Westfield, which put up the fl ags and is ready for business. I can’t lie, I took the clubs out in the backyard for a few practice swings just to knock some of the winter rust off. The bottom line is that it’s almost Spring — that magical time when we all put down the remotes and start getting some fresh air (and hopefully lose some of the lbs we put on over the holidays). Are you looking for a new sports hobby? Here’s a list of things that personally keep me active and feeling great during the warmer months: Basketball: Seriously, there’s a court in every park in Chautauqua County. All you need to play is a ball. Get a few people together for a 2-on-2 game or just hope that there’s an odd number of people playing down at the court. Go by yourself and work on your jump shot.

Bills begin free agency by cutting QB Fitzpatrick By John Wawrow AP Sports Writer

Having already changed coaches this offseason, the Buffalo Bills are starting from scratch at quarterback, too. In their first move once the NFL's free agency period opened Tuesday, the Bills released quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick after two-plus inconsistent seasons as starter. The decision came after Fitzpatrick and the team were unable to reach an agreement to restructure the quarterback's contract, and a day before the he was due a $3 million bonus. ContinUED on pG 4

Blue Devils Baseball team laden With senior leadership in 2013 Contributed Article Fredonia State Sports Information Dept.

The Fredonia State baseball team heads into the 2013 campaign with a SUNYAC title on its mind. The Devils have no lack of experience with eight seniors – three outfielders, two infielders, two pitchers, and a catcher – all of whom are expected to see a lot of innings. Head Coach Matt Palisin enters his eleventh season as the Devils head coach with high expectations. “We are returning quite a few players and are deep in all positions, including the pitching staff. Team expectations are a SUNYAC championship.” Senior captain Dillon Lowe was First Team All SUNYAC and anchored the middle of the Devils' order in 2012, batting .358. Lowe was second on the Devils in stolen bases (13), at bats (109) and hits (39) and led the team with 48 total bases and 19 RBI. In the conference, Lowe posted a .344 average while starting all 18 games. Fellow senior captain Ian Gallagher will also be a large factor for the Blue Devils in the field as well as in the middle of the lineup.

Gallagher has the ability to play multiple positions and will see starts in the infield and outfield. He batted .291 in 20 games last season. Fifth-year senior Jake Nowak is another versatile player and will be called upon to play every infield position, catch and pitch. Brian Sheehan, another senior captain, will see the majority of the innings behind the plate for the Blue Devils as well as hit in the middle of the order. Sheehan posted a .337 average last year. Kyle Koslowski will be his back up. He also made several starts at first base a season ago. The middle infield will feature junior Conner Lorenzo at second base and sophomore Erik Krohl at short stop. Lorenzo is a polished player who is very fundamentally strong. Krohl is a solid defensive player and will hit near the

bottom of the order. Andrew Lawrence will round out the infield and play first base for the Devils. Lawrence brings a big bat and a solid glove to the table. Redshirt sophomore Ryan Fitzgerald and Koslowski will also see some time at first. The outfield will feature Gallagher, Bobby Frantz, Kenny Johnston, Dan Fetes, John Bennett, and Ryan Carmody. Fetes, a senior captain, will be the opening-day designated hitter this year as well as seeing time in the outfield. Fetes hit a robust .339 last season and led the Devils in doubles (8) and runs batted in (19) and stolen bases (16). Bennett is another senior who will find innings in the outfield and will contribute in any role given. Frantz enters his first year as a Blue Devil. He previ-

ously played for Monroe Community College where he was the leadoff hitter for two seasons. Johnston played 16 games as a freshman last season and heads into this season as the starting right fielder. Carmody gets a second chance at a freshman season – he was injured during the team's spring trip last year – and will fi ll in defensively and on the bases when he doesn't start. “Offensively we return pretty much everyone with the exception of our leadoff hitter," said Palisin. "We have added Bobby to fi ll that role. He fi lls our biggest need and eveyone else is a year better." Sean Larson, Zachary Hugg, and Thomas Morris will front the rotation this year. Each player saw a lot of innings last season. Larson was the No. 1 starter and led the team

with 36 strikeouts and a 2.96 ERA. He led the SUNYAC with 43 2/3 innings pitched in the conference. Hugg, a senior, is the veteran member of the staff. Morris averaged a strikeout an inning as a freshman a season ago. In addition the Blue Devils feature a deep bullpen with Angelo Sciandra, Zachary Jordon, Kyle Morse, Kyle Grey, Nate Lester, Steve Sturm, Evan Carmello and Joseph Tingue. Carl Wolf is the lone freshman pitcher and will be a factor in the Devils plans this season. Jordon will start the season in the pen, but may also figure into his share of starts. As a freshman, he allowed only three walks in 31 innings. Grey and Sciandra will be the lefties out of the pen and will challenge for their share of non-conference starts. The Devils have a pair of ju-

nior additions. Morse comes to the Devils from Franklin Pierce College. Lester is the most athletic pitcher and will fill every role. Tingue, a redshirt junior, was injured in the first game of the season a year ago, and offers the Devils an experienced arm. Sturm came on strong at the end of last season and had a 4/1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. When asked what the difference between the staff this year and last Palisin said, “Last year we relied on mostly freshman and sophomore pitchers. We had a very young staff. Now we are a year better. Our preseason focus has been to make sure we can do everything we can to prepare the pitching staff better. The staff has more confidence and focus heading into this season.” The team opens the season on the weekend of March 8-9-10th, taking on Skyline Conference teams SUNY Purchase, Old Westbury and St. Joe's (Long Island). The Devils play one game at home against St. John Fisher and a doubleheader at Geneva (Pa.) College before heading to central Florida for a 10-game swing. The Devils will meet up with SUNYAC foe Plattsburgh in Florida.

Ironmen Split, Take Over Second Place In North Contributed Article Jamestown Ironmen

The Jamestown Ironmen split a two-game series on the road with the Johnstown Tomahawks this past weekend in North American Hockey League action. Jamestown (34-16-4) faltered in a 3-1 loss on Friday night at the Cambria County War Memorial Arena in Johnstown, Pa. In a tough struggle of a contest, Johnstown (24-2012) took an early 1-0 lead all the way into the third period before tacking on another score with 15:19 remaining on the clock. With under two minutes left in the third, the Ironmen pulled the goaltender and sent in an extra attacker. It paid off as Ryan Doucet notched a goal off of an Evan Ritt assist, but it was too late for Jamestown. The Tomahawks added an empty net goal en route to the 3-1 victory. Joey Ballmer made 25 saves between the pipes for Jamestown while the Ironmen were outshot 28-26 on the night. “We battled pretty hard on Friday,” said Ironmen head

BIlls cut ties with QB Fitzpatrick continued from pg 1 ''We kept every possible option open right down to the wire, when we had to make a decision on whether to keep Ryan,'' general manager Buddy Nix said. ''In the end, we had to do what we feel is best for our football team. And it was a difficult decision.'' That leaves new coach Doug Marrone with another hole to fill in what's resembling another rebuilding project for a team that's already gone through many during a 13-season playoff drought - the NFL's longest active streak. Marrone, who took over after Chan Gailey was fired in January, is the Bills sixth coach since 1999, when Buffalo last made the playoffs. And Buffalo's had little success in filling the quarterback position. Including Fitzpatrick, the team's gone through nine players who have started a minimum eight games since Hall of Famer Jim Kelly retired after the 1996 season. Fitzpatrick's release leaves Buffalo with one experienced quarterback on its

roster, Tarvaris Jackson, who signed a one-year contract last month. Nix has already expressed an intention to select a quarterback in the draft next month. ''Our focus remains on adding another quarterback to our roster,'' Nix said, ''and we will continue to explore every option available to us.'' Fitzpatrick wasn't available for comment. He had spent the past two months with his family in Arizona. Fitzpatrick's up-and-down performance and his expensive contract were factors in his release. He went 20-33 as a starter over four seasons in Buffalo. And he was in the midst of a six-year, $59 million contract extension signed in October 2011. That was regarded as too expensive for a player who wasn't guaranteed to return as starter this season. The Bills had held out hope that Fitzpatrick would be open to restructuring his contract, and free up space under the salary cap to allow the team to pursue free agents, and re-sign its own players. The Bills entered free agen-

cy with plenty of holes to fill, including needs at linebacker and receiver. And they added another one at guard on Tuesday after losing out on the chance to re-sign Andy Levitre. The four-year starter in Buffalo signed with Tennessee. The Bills also allowed defensive linemen Spencer Johnson and Kyle Moore, and fullback Corey McIntyre to become free agents. Fitzpatrick's release didn't come as a major shock. The Bills had sent mixed signals regarding the quarterback's future over the past month. His status appeared secure in mid-February, when Marrone announced he informed Fitzpatrick and Jackson that he intended to have both compete for the starting job this offseason. The Bills' message was less definitive a little over a week later at the NFL combine in Indianapolis. That's where both Nix and team president Russ Brandon were evasive when discussing Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick took over the starting job three weeks into the 2010 season,

after Trent Edwards was benched and then released a week later. Fitzpatrick was rewarded with his current contract while helping the Bills get off to a surprising 5-2 start a year later. The Bills, however, unraveled by losing nine of their final 10 games, and went 6-10 again last year. Not all the blame could be laid on Fitzpatrick, the Harvard graduate, who was selected in the seventh round by St. Louis in the 2005 draft. In Buffalo, he joined Kelly last year in becoming only the second Bills quarterback to throw 24 touchdowns in three consecutive seasons. Fitzpatrick, however, could never erase questions about his inconsistency. In 55 games in Buffalo, he's thrown 80 touchdowns and 64 interceptions, including a career-worst 23 in 2011. He finished his career in Buffalo ranking third on the team list in touchdowns, and fourth with 11,654 yards.

Bills Agree To Re-Sign CB McKelvin To 4-Year Deal By John Wawrow AP Sports Writer

Cornerback Leodis McKelvin is staying in Buffalo after the Bills reached an agreement to re-sign their 2008 first-round draft pick on Saturday. A person familiar with the negotiations said McKelvin agreed to a four-year contract worth a little over $20 million. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Bills did not reveal the contract terms in announcing the agreement with McKelvin. The deal was reached before McKelvin was eligible to become an unrestricted free agent on Tuesday. McKelvin had expressed interest in returning to Buffalo, though he was free to begin entertaining offers

from other teams starting Saturday. That's when a three-day window opened allowing teams to contact prospective free agents to gauge their interest before the signing period began. Selected 11th overall out of Troy, McKelvin has had difficulty maintaining a starting job in his five seasons in Buffalo. Used mostly as a third cornerback last year, McKelvin had one interception in 13 games, including four starts. He missed the final three games because of a groin injury. Overall, he has six interceptions in 64 games, with only 33 starts. McKelvin has made a bigger impact on special teams, having combined for four touchdowns returning kickoff and punts. Last year, he led the NFL averaging 18.7 punt return yards, and

became the first Bills player to return two punts for touchdowns in one season. As a rookie, McKelvin set the single-season franchise record with 1,468 yards on kickoff returns. The Bills were preparing to enter free agency lacking experienced depth at cornerback, especially after cutting veteran Terrence McGee last month. McKelvin will be given the opportunity to compete for a starting job opposite Stephon Gilmore, the team's first-round pick last year. Returning starter Aaron Williams struggled at the position last season. McKelvin will be part of a defense that's going through a transition under new coach Doug Marrone, who takes over after Chan Gailey was fired in January following three losing seasons. Marrone has brought in an entirely new coaching

staff, which includes former New York Jets defensive coordinator Mike Pettine in the same role in Buffalo. The Bills have also cut veteran safety George Wilson and linebacker Nick Barnett this offseason, while defensive end Chris Kelsay and linebacker Shawne Merriman have announced their retirement. General manager Buddy Nix had expressed interest in re-signing McKelvin. At the NFL combine last month, Nix listed McKelvin along with safety Jairus Byrd and guard Andy Levitre as the top three pending free agents he would like to keep. The Bills placed the franchise tag on Byrd to retain his rights last week. Levitre, a four-year starter, remains unsigned and is expected to test free agency.

Former Bills Star Safety Saimes Dies At 71 By John Wawrow AP Sports Writer

George Saimes, regarded as one of the American Football League's best safeties and a member of the Buffalo Bills' Wall of Fame, died after a lengthy battle with leukemia. He was 71. Saimes' daughter, Linda Durley, said her father died Friday night at a hospital in his hometown of Canton, Ohio. Selected by Buffalo in the sixth round of the 1963 draft, Saimes spent seven seasons with the Bills, where he helped the team win backto-back AFL championships in 1964-65. He was then reunited in Denver with his former Bills coach, Lou Saban, in playing three more seasons with the Broncos. Saimes was a five-time Pro Bowl selection and, in 1970, was selected to the all-time AFL defensive team. He was known as a hard-hitting tackler, who finished with 22 interceptions in 121 career games. He was a star at college, too, playing both defensive back and fullback at Michigan State. Saimes was selected the team's MVP in both 1961 and '62, and was eventually picked to the Spartans' all-time defensive team. Football writer Larry Felser, who covered Saimes for The Buffalo News, once described the player as being ''the finest open-field tackler in the league.'' Cornerback Booker Edgerson agreed with that assessment regarding his former Bills teammate. ''George Saimes was one of the surest tacklers I ever saw,'' Edgerson recalled by phone Saturday. ''If he got his hands on you, more than likely, you were going to go down.'' He was solid in defending passes, too, except, as Edg-

erson recalled, that Saimes wasn't as sure-handed when it came to interceptions. ''We used to kid him about it and say, 'If you had great hands and great eyesight, you could've had at least 50 or 60 interceptions,'' Edgerson said with a laugh. ''At least he knocked the ball down.'' Kidding aside, Edgerson said, Saimes was an elite safety then, and would've been one today as well. ''We know there wasn't a better safety before him, and I don't think there's been any since, especially in terms of tackling the intelligence of playing in the secondary with the receivers,'' Edgerson said. ''I think that there should've been some consideration for him going into the Hall of Fame. Unfortunately, a lot of defensive backs in the '60s and '70s never really got that consideration.'' After his playing days, Saimes stayed in football as a scout, including a 15-year stint with the Washington Redskins. He also worked as a scout with Tampa Bay and the Houston Texans. Linda Durley has relished in hearing stories about her father from his playing days. And she fondly remembered being on the field with Saimes when his name was placed on the Wall of Fame at Ralph Wilson Stadium in 2000. ''He was the most amazing dad,'' Durley said. ''He was amazing and strong. He loved his family, he loved his grandchildren, and he loved my mom so very much.'' Saimes is survived by his wife, Betsy, three daughters and eight grandchildren. A funeral service has been scheduled for Wednesday at the Community Christian Church in North Canton, Ohio.

rANGerS SOur OVer LOSS TO THe SABreS CONTINueD FrOm PG 1 Enroth, who started because Ryan Miller was sidelined because of a sinus infection, earned his first victory since a 5-1 win over Washington on Nov. 26, 2011. He was 0-10-3 in 16 appearances since then. The victory was even sweeter because it came against Swedish countryman Henrik Lundqvist, who was in the Rangers net. ''That's my big idol,'' Enroth said with a smile. ''It's something special to me to beat him. It's something I'll remember forever.'' More importantly, it helped the Sabres end a four-game losing streak (0-2-2). ''You could see early on that he was tracking things well,'' Sabres interim coach Ron Rolston said. ''I'm real happy for him. To see him come back and have a big smile is really gratifying.'' Enroth was especially sharp in the third period, when he made four of his saves during the Rangers' only power play. ''I felt very confident and in control of every shot,'' Enroth said. ''I didn't give up bad rebounds. It was pretty much a perfect game.'' Foligno, who hadn't scored since the fi fth game of the season at Washington, made it 1-1 at 5:35 of the second period. He gave the Sabres a 3-1 lead with 8:12 left in the game. ''It's been tough,'' said Foligno, who recorded his third NHL multigoal game. ''You want to contribute to the team and play well. I want to be in front and do what I did tonight.'' Thomas Vanek also scored for Buffalo (10-14-3). Derek Stepan scored a short-handed goal for the Rangers (13-10-2), who lost for just the second time in seven games. Lundqvist made 19 saves. New York's Rick Nash had a 10-game point streak snapped. ''I thought we stunk,'' Rangers coach John Tortorella said. ''I couldn't be more disgusted or disappointed with how our top guys played. That team was ripe to be beat and we simply didn't play the way we were sup-

Use of Visors Up For Debate in rough-&-tumble nHl By Dan Gelston

''While the players support visor use being a matter of individual choice, we continue to regularly educate the players on the benefits of wearing a visor so that each player can make an informed decision,'' Mathieu Schneider, special assistant to the executive director, said. Still, mandatory use of visors was not legislated into the labor agreement that ended the lockout. Rangers center Micheal Haley is one of the holdouts. He said not even witnessing Staal's gruesome injury would soften his stance against visors. ''As long as I have a choice, I'll not wear one,'' he said. Haley fi lls the increasingly diminished role of team enforcer and said he can't drop the gloves and throw punches at a shield. ''If you get into a fight with a visor and you're smacking visors around, it's not good for your hands,'' he said.

''Personally, I don't like wearing a visor at all.'' Some type of cage or visor is mandatory in all levels of hockey except the NHL. If shields are eventually required in a collective bargaining agreement, players hope there is at least some sort of grandfather clause, like there once was for helmets. Some players complain about sweat residue, shaved ice buildup, or that they can't see the puck near their skate. Others cite general discomfort. Of course, a shield isn't foolproof, much in the same way wearing helmets can't guarantee the prevention of concussions. But it's a start, and an easy fix - even if the NHLPA has to protect players from their own warped sense of choice. Maybe just a culture that allows the next generation of Prongers to walk away on their own terms and live retirement in good health and with sound minds.

These rankings are the opinions of a panel of two. Don’t agree with our rankings? Send us your thoughts at stefan.gestwicki@star-mediagroup.com. 1) Anaheim Ducks 19-3-3 This is a weekly power ranking and no one is playing as well as the Ducks (7-1-2 in last 10). 2) Chicago Blackhawks 21-2-3 Two Marians (Hossa and Rangers’ Gaborik) are the only NHL players with two OT goals. 3) Pittsburgh Penguins 19-8-0 Three third-period goals led to an enormous win over Boston and ran winning streak to six. 4) Montreal Canadiens 17-5-4 Only one regulation loss in their last 10 has established Habs as true contenders in East. 5) Boston Bruins 17-4-3 The Bruins kill an unbelievable 92.9 percent of their penalties. Defense is unmatched. 6) Los Angeles Kings 14-9-2 Jeff Carter has somehow managed 17 goals and only a pair of assists. 7) St. Louis Blues 14-10-2 The Blues boast the second-best power play unit in the NHL at a healthy 25.9 percent. 8) Carolina Hurricanes 15-9-1 Six wins in the last seven games have put ‘Canes in position to run away with Southeast. 9) Ottawa Senators 13-8-5 First with 33 shots per game but 28th in NHL in goals per game. Something’s gotta give. 10) New York Rangers 13-10-2 Rick Nash saw his 10-game point streak snapped in an ugly loss to Buffalo. 11) Vancouver Canucks 12-7-6 Their 30 points barely leads a division where no team has a positive goal differential. 12) Phoenix Coyotes 13-10-3 Fourgame road trip, including two in LA, could make or break this team. 13) Toronto Maple Leafs 15-11-1 A pair of home games against Southeast competition could jumpstart Leafs again. 14) New Jersey Devils 12-9-5 An 8-3-2 record at home is nice, but a -10 goal differential is reason for serious concern. 15) Detriot Red Wings 12-9-5 Seven of their next eight games are on the road, where the Wings have struggled so far. 16) Minnesota Wild 13-10-2 New investment Ryan Suter leads the league with a dangerously high 27:26 per game. 17) Winnipeg Jets 13-11-2 Scrappy Jets are tied with Rangers for 8th place in the East with 28 points. 18) Nashville Predators 11-9-6 Pekka Rinne recorded his league-best 5th shutout against Dallas on Tuesday. 19) San Jose Sharks 11-8-6 This team was second in the first Power Rankings on Feb. 6. Impressive fall. 20) New York Islanders 11-12-3 The arrow’s pointing up for this young group after 3-0-1 stretch before loss to Pittsburgh. 21) Columbus Blue Jackets 10-12-5 CBJ jump from 29th in rankings after improving to 5-0-2 with SO win over Detriot. 22) Dallas Stars 12-11-2 One goal in their last two games (both losses) has the Stars fading fast in the West. 23) Edmonton Oilers 10-11-5 Currently 12th in the West, but only five points out of fourth. Anything is possible. 24) Philadelphia Flyers 12-14-1 A 4-10-0 record on the road in inexcusable for a talented, veteran team like Philly. 25) Tampa Bay Lightning 11-14-1 Remember when this team started the season 6-2? How quickly the wheels have fallen off. 26) Colorado Avalanche 10-11-4 Being the first team to snap Chicago’s streak will be highlight of forgettable season. 27) Buffalo Sabres 10-14-3 Backup goalie Jhonas Enroth snapped an 0-10-3 streak with Tuesday’s win over Rangers. 28) Calgary Flames 9-11-4 They’re the least penalized team in the NHL at 9.6 minutes/game. Not sure if that’s good. 29) Washington Capitals 10-14-1 The Caps are one of two teams (Carolina) to not make it to a shootout this season. 30) Florida Panthers 7-14-6 Panthers are the only team to have given up 100 goals so far…or at least 90 for that matter.

Contributed Article compiling the report JCC Jamestown Community College is the "Top Performing Public Two-Year College" in New York according to a report published by The Chronicle of Higher Education, the nation's leading publication of news and information about colleges and universities. Titled "College Completion: Who Graduates from College, Who Doesn't, and Why It Matters," the report is a microsite created from research supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Factors taken into consideration in

included graduation rate, completions per every 100 students, cost per completion, spending per completion, student aid per recipient, and percentage of students receiving federal Pell Grants. JCC topped the list of public two-year colleges which included 35 institutions from within the State University of New York (SUNY) and the City University of New York (CUNY) with at least 200 freshmen per year. The Chronicle, citing JCC data from students entering college in the fall of 2007, reports JCC's graduation rate as 34.8 in 150% time and 30.2 in 100% time. New York's graduation

rate averages were 19.6 and 10.9 respectively. As graduation rates at fouryear colleges are typically measured in terms of six-year and four-year rates, 150% and 100% become the equivalent at two-year institutions as students seeking both associate degrees and certificates are included. "This report is a point of pride for both JCC and the communities that support the college," said JCC President Gregory T. DeCinque. "JCC is delivering on its promises and doing so with great efficiency." Dr. DeCinque noted that the report lists JCC's spending per completion at $46,354 while the state's average for two-year public

colleges is $67,695. The data considered expenses related to instruction, student services, academic support, institutional support, operations, and maintenance. "By visiting JCC's facilities and experiencing the high quality of education being delivered, it's clear to see that this college delivers a tremendous return on investment to the public," he said. According to Marilyn A. Zagora, vice president and dean of academic affairs at JCC, credit for the top ranking goes to the college's faculty, staff, and students. "This is a report that measures performance," Dr. Zagora stressed. "The factors considered in the report are the outcomes of the work of dedicated faculty and staff whose commitment to quality is the foundation of all they do to teach students and support them in various ways.

colleges in that we serve high numbers of students who were top scholars in their high school classes. That is not likely to be the same profile found at every community college. Through opportunities including the Unified Student Assistance (USA) Scholarship, our honors program, and our strong transfer articulation agreements, JCC attracts high academic achievers who are confident that a JCC education will connect them to their goals and prepare them for both career success and the pursuit of bachelor's degrees, master's degrees, and doctorates." “Of note, the report does not count in its measures a number of other types of students for whom JCC is the springboard to college accomplishments such as those who choose JCC to begin a degree with plans to transfer elsewhere to continue their studies, those who “stop out” for a semester or more, but then return to JCC to continue making progress on their degrees, and part-time students who

choose to pursue a degree over a longer time period, often while balancing family and work with their college experience,” Dr. Zagora said. “These students represent hundreds of other success stories not captured in this data.” New York's other top performing institutions listed in the Chronicle report were the United States Military Academy among public universities, Vassar College among private colleges, and Monroe College at New Rochelle among for-profit colleges.

The ADVANCE Program offers adults the opportunity to complete a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in business management in as little as 18 months while attending classes only one night per week (classes are held 6-10 pm), and most students only take one class at a time. This is all without disrupting the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal and professional life. The ADVANCE Program is designed with the adult learner in mind. Classes are smaller, taught in a seminar format, and only last five weeks. Additional required college credits can be earned through

methods. Internet Courses, Internships, Challenge/Clep Exams or courses offered other than during evenings are available to students who transfer in fewer credits but still want to complete their degree within a brief period of time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your entire bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree can be earned during the evening,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Dion Daly, business department chair. The ADVANCE program emphasizes leadership in the business environment. Because so many companies are undergoing changes, managers must be trained to lead the workforce through periods of disruption. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Similar to the way business is conducted, our students get the necessary tools to advance in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workforce. Courses are taught by professors with
