Women’s History Month A Tribute to Chautauqua’s Most Innovative Women

By Morgan Stewart Star News Writer

With the month of March comes a deluge of occasions calling for celebration: St. Patrick’s Day, the first day of Spring, a well-strategized March Madness bracket. One of the season’s most overlooked and under-celebrated events, however, is ironically one of its most meaningful. The official recognition of women’s assiduous advancement toward equality began in March of 1982 as Women’s History Week, which over the next decade expanded into what we now know as Women’s History Month. “It is imperative that women support other women in all their endeavors to become educated and to become involved in all aspects of the educational, economic, business, and political life of our society,” said B. Dolores Thompson, Public Policy Chair of the American Association of University Women’s Jamestown branch. “It is vital that we celebrate Women’s History Month to recognize the accomplishments of women and their contributions to the history of our country in all aspects of our culture.” Some readers might recall from grade school history class that the 1848 convention pivotal to the women’s rights movement took place in Seneca Falls, NY, only about 180 miles from Jamestown. What’s less recognized, though, is the impressive

number of women whose contributions to female activism checker the history books of Chautauqua County. Few probably are familiar with the name Calista Selena Jones, for example-- the Jamestown educator who during the 1850s demanded (and ultimately was awarded, as a result of her trailblazing tenacity) the same salary as her male colleagues. Or the Randolph-born Martha Van Rennselaer, who, inspired by her mother’s own involvement in the suffrage movement, helped develop Cornell University’s Home Economics Department, a program so suc-

cessful that she soon after was elected President of the American Home Economics Association in 1914. Western New York’s women were particularly conducive in the practice of medicine, as well, even in times when the field consisted almost exclusively of men. The WCA Hospital in Jamestown, today the region’s largest not-for-profit provider of healthcare, was founded as the Woman’s Christian Association of New York in 1885 as a boarding house to support female workers. Also functioning as a one-room hospital, the founders saw the need for a bigger facil-

ity. In 1907, the WCA Hospital was officially chartered. Similarly, the accomplishments of Jamestown’s Dr. Jane Greeley and Frewsburg’s Dr. Pauline George Stitt encouraged national esteem for women in the workplace during the late-nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries, respectively. A contemporary local figure whose work echoes the pioneering of women like Greeley and Stitt is Dr. Lillian V. Ney, active with organizations including Jamestown’s Gebbie Foundation, the Roger Tory Peterson Institute, and the WCA, to name a few. The above women are some of the 25 honored by the AAUW’s Circle of Distinction, a list initiated by Thompson in 1982 intended to pay homage to the cultural impetus of Western New York’s women throughout history. The list is no longer continued because, as Thompson puts it, “Now women are allowed to do anything they want.” “We see the arc of the American story in the dynamic women who shaped our present,” said President Obama in this year’s Women’s History Month Proclamation. In a technologydriven era so focused on progress, it can be all too easy to forget that; let this March be the month we vow to honor and carry on the tradition of those shapers whose dedication to the community has given us the Chautauqua County we know and love today.

‘He’s The Reason I’m Involved’ Light It Up Blue For Autism Event Set For April 2 in Falconer

By Patricia Pihl Star News Writer

Amy Smith knew that something wasn’t right when her son Jase at two years of age wasn’t talking or even babbling. Having worked with autistic children, Smith knew that her son’s lack of speech development was a “red light.” She had her son evaluated and was told ‘he would be fine.’ Undeterred by what should have been a reassuring message, Smith put her son in speech therapy. At four, Jase was officially diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome, a high-functioning form of autism. Now 7, Jase’s speech is vastly improved. “He’s such a joy,” says Smith of her son. However, the journey since diagnosis had been a difficult and uncertain one. “There is such a stigma attached to the diagnosis... I wondered what’s going to happen to him, who is going to take care of him, all these things are going through your head. You can read the books but its not going to tell you what’s the next step.” On April 2, Light It Up Blue for autism will be held in Falconer’s Davis Park due to the efforts of Smith and several others. Her motivation is Jase. “He’s the reason I’m involved.” Light It Up Blue is an international event coordinated by the organization Autism Speaks, which celebrates World

Autism Awareness Day, with the goal to increase awareness about autism and autism spectrum disorder. The celebration is the first in Chautauqua County, but has been a global initiative for the past three years to help raise awareness about the growing public health concern that is autism. Iconic landmarks around the world such as the Empire State Building, the Sydney Opera House and Niagara Falls will be among the buildings and sites immersed in blue light as a sign of support. “I want families whose kids have autism to come to this event, to know that they are not alone,” says Smith. In addition, she hopes the event will provide insight to the community on the numbers of families effected by autism and “that sometimes we need help.” Smith, a one-on-one special education aide at Falconer’s Temple School

said she and a few others began emailing schools asking staff and students to wear blue on April 2 to bring attention and awareness to autism. The objective, she says, is for people to ask ‘‘why are you wearing blue today’? We want to them to be able to say, “Because autism matters.” From that initial email, Smith says, “Things just snowballed, so we said let’s have an event.” Light it Up Blue is being sponsored locally by Pepsi and activities will include live music, a balloon launch, and keeping in with the color theme, blue glow sticks for children. Local businesses have also donated items for a basket raﬄe as well as advertising the event with posters in high-traffic areas. A special “sensory basket” filled with specially designed toys and educational tools for children with autism will also be given away and the event will include

a 50/50 drawing. Smith says she also hopes the event will help the community better understand the challenges faced by families affected by autism, and that even something as simple as taking a child with autism in public can be a challenge. “More kids will be diagnosed with autism this year then with diabetes, cancer, and HIV combined. We need to figure out what’s going on--they can’t be part of our world if we don’t help them.” According to Smith, 1 in 110 children will be diagnosed with autism, usually between the age of two and four. “Sometimes parents say, “He was a really quiet baby.” Other signs parents may observe is that their child, at age two is not speaking, making eye contact, or responding to their name. Despite the dire statistics, there is reason for optimism. Screening for autism has improved, Smith says. Parents can also speak to their pediatrician, who will also be looking for early development hallmarks. Physicians will also be able to provide information on referrals to other health care providers. Children diagnosed today are better off because there is so much more available for them now, according to Smith. For example, her colleague

Virginia Vacation

Dusten Rader Commentary

Road trips are one of a favorite ways to travel. So, every time I get the chance to hit the road for a vacation I take the opportunity to drive to a place I’ve never been. This time I decided to travel to a place that has something I also love, the ocean. A bonus to the adventure was that the destination had access to an ocean I’ve never been to called the Atlantic. Another great aspect of the trip was getting to visit the South which I had also never experienced. All this, was located in a beautiful placed called Virginia. While visiting Virginia I stayed at a friends house in Suffolk. Suffolk is a town less than an hour away from Virginia Beach. There are many beaches along the shore of Virginia. So, deciding which ones to visit was a bit of a challenge. However, I knew what types of things I wanted to do and that made deciding easier. One of the things I wanted to do was swim in the ocean at a beach that had many waves but not a lot of tourism. So, I decided to check out the Sandbridge beaches. The Sandbridge is a secluded five mile stretch of beach that is also home to Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge and False Cape State Park which

are great for kayaking, hiking and fishing. For more information on Sandbridge visit visitvirginiabeach.com/visitors/beaches/sandbridge/. Something else I wanted to do was camp near the beach. So, I decided to check out First Landing State Park. The state park has tons of camping spots and cabins in addition to over 19 miles of hiking trails. Plus, the beach is a short walk from each camping site. For more information on First Landing State Park visit visitvirginiabeach.com/visitors/articles/ first_landing_state_park.aspx. I also wanted to see some art and culture while in Virginia so I decided to stop by the Chrysler Museum of Art. The museum has 62 galleries for 30,000 works of art from around the world, a glass studio that produces works of art displayed in the museum and also hosts daily demonstrations. It was an incredible visit that I managed to take a ton of photos of. For more information visit chrysler.org/. The trip was altogether a fantastic experience that I feel I gained a lot from. Hopefully I’ll be able to head even more South next time to get a better feel for that part of the country. But, I would still highly recommend visiting Virginia at least once. For more information visit visitvirginiabeach. com/visitors/. I’ll be featuring some of the photos from my trip over the next couple weeks in the Community Lens starnewsdaily.com/viewby/tag/community-lens. Or, to view all of the photos visit my albums on facebook at: facebook.com/ media/set/?set=a.6082531642 65.2062763.64400267&type=1 &l=bbfbf0f507 and facebook. com/media/set/?set=a.603131 937245.2061956.64400267&ty pe=3&l=60f9841c9a.

The Lake Erie Autism Diagnostic, Educational, and Research Services (LEADERS) program of the Achievement Center provides a wide variety of services to children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families. LEADERS is quite often first contacted by families seeking autism screening and evaluation for their child. This diagnostic arm of LEADERS provides the Northwest Pennsylvania and Southwestern New York region with experienced evaluators using state of the art assessment and diagnostic tools to identify children with autism. When this is done as early as possible, it allows a child to begin critical treatment early and by doing so, improves outcomes. The LEADERS team of 8 Board Certified Behavior Analysts brings a wealth of experience and therapeutic

insight to each individual case. Once identified and diagnosed, children participating in the LEADERS program are afforded a high quality applied behavior analytic (ABA) approach regardless of the child’s age or functioning level. LEADERS offers services to very young children through our Early Intervention division; to preschool and school age children through our Behavioral Health Rehabilitation Services division and our Summer Therapeutic Activities Program (LEADERS Summer Camp); and to our adolescent and young

adult population through our Out Patient counseling division. Additionally the Out Patient division also serves the parents and caregivers of our children by providing individual and family counseling to these often forgotten but very important members of the child’s treatment team - the parents. And lastly, LEADERS along with its partner Mercyhurst University, continues to conduct applied research as it develops and pilots new programs and new treatment modalities.

on the side to supplement my business income. Many people thought I was nuts, but my family supported my decision. I have always had an interest in art and enjoyed being creative. With my art background and creative mind, I took a pile of old family recipes and started baking. Coming from a long line of bakers, store bought cookies and cakes were not something my family purchased. These women want their families to enjoy the wonderful desserts and home made baked goods like their mothers made for them, but with working & keeping up with family needs, they don’t have the time for baking. My art background has allowed me to make sculpted or unique cakes for special occa-

sions, which have proven to be very popular right now. Some of my recent creations have been a Buffalo Bills helmet for a bachelor party and a “Cars” cake for a Grooms Cake. I also have many brides who bring in pictures of cakes they want recreated for their “special day”, which I always find enjoyable! My communications degree comes in handy for many aspects of the business, advertising, marketing and customer service, amongst them! I have a very loyal clientele that has been growing each year. In fact I’m celebrating my 10th year in business! I truly have a job that I love and that makes others happy.

SUNY Fredonia Sustainability Committee Invites You to (Re)Shake the Habit (Re)Shake the Habit holds local contests

Contributed Article Sherri Mason, Ph. D.

SUNY Fredonia is at it again! For the third year running the campus sustainability committee is working toward raising awareness about the harm that plastic bags cause in our environment. “Who hasn’t seen a plastic bag blowing in the breeze? And, yet, most of us don’t think about the larger harm that little plastic bag can cause. We all love our lakes and the fish in them – choosing reusable bags over plastic is such a simple change that each of us can make to show our love,” said Dr. Sherri “Sam” Mason, chemistry professor and coordinator of the event. While in years past free reusable bags were distributed through local retailers, this year the plan is to ‘(Re) Shake the Habit’ by holding several contests where local residents are encouraged to make their own reusable bags from re-purposed materials. The first contest will be held at the Fredonia Grange on East Main Street in Fredonia on Sunday, April 15. Registration for this event, co-sponsored by the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Northern Chautauqua (UUCNC), will

run from 7 to 7:30 p.m. While the re-usable bags are being judged, on such categories as visual appeal and functionality, the committee will host a showing of the award-winning documentary “Bag It!.” Prizes will be awarded after the movie screening at approximately 9 p.m. A second venue for local residents will be held SUNY Fredonia Business Technology Incubator in Dunkirk on Tuesday, April 17. Registration will again be open from 7 to 7:30 p.m., with awards made after the movie screening at approximately 9 p.m.. A final contest venue, geared toward SUNY Fredonia students, will be held in Jewett 101 on Wednesday, April 18. Registration for this event will begin at 9:30 p.m. and prizes will be awarded at approximately 11:30 p.m. after the 10 p.m. movie screening. Refreshments will be pro-

She helps provide alcohol and drug information within the prison setting. And she has just undergone a successful treatment for lung cancer. Brenner learned she had lung cancer during Thanksgiving of 2011. She originally thought she had bronchitis, but when she had an x-ray some nodules were found on her lungs. After additional testing she was diagnosed with lung cancer. The Friends of Vicki B. decided to throw a benefit to help fundraise money to help Brenner pay for her medical expenses and living expenses until she can return to work. The benefit will feature the band Wheelhouse, who will play 80s and 90s music for the event. During the time when the band isn’t playing, a DJ will be performing. There will be a full spaghetti dinner and a bake sale will be held selling pie, breads, cookies, cupcakes and other sorts of baked good. There will also be a 50-50 drawing and a Chinese Auction. “We got some really great things,” said Leslie Watkins, a friend of Brenner. “Lots of different baskets. We got one for

gardening supplies, fishing and tackle basket, couple of coffee, tea, chocolate baskets. Couple of wine and cheese baskets. We got three handmade quilts that we are going to be auctioning off as well in the Chinese Auction.” Other items at the Chinese Auction include gift certificates, a three month subscription to the Post Journal, two tickets to The Sound of Music at the Little Theatre, tickets to a Yankee Bush Productions Concert, a wooden hand painted Christmas tree, a hand carved old world Santa and many more items.

Everyone Has A Story: Barbara Jean Strickland by Patricia Pihl Star News Writer

In the first song of her latest CD, Cool, Barbara Jean Strickland croons “What Now?” A good question for the accomplished singer and songwriter whose genres have included country and pop, but who now performs what she calls “straight-ahead” jazz. Along with her original material, Strickland describes herself a “crooner,” staying close to the melodies as written from The Great American Songbook - the body of work from such artists as Cole Porter, George Gershwin and Irving Berlin. Strickland is currently the singer for Jamestown’s popular band Razz and Friends. She also performs solo, and collaborates with a large network of musicians at different venues. Two years ago one of her original songs was also featured on the daytime television show, The Young and the Restless. Considering all that she has accomplished since starting as a bass player in 1979, it would seem that music would be her life’s main work. The Jamestown native with a voice that has been compared to Karen Carpenter’s is also an optician and the owner of Strickland Optical, a business she and her family started 25 years ago after relocating back to her native Jamestown. While the two career paths may seem divergent, Strickland sees similarities in her chosen vocations. For instance, when she and her husband Steve, traveled as musicians they found that there were other musicians who had also worked as opti-

cians. “There is something about the beauty of numbers used in both the optical business and in music with frequencies, timing and fractions.” Both, she explains, are creative processes. “We are working with our hands and making something; its a craft, a trade. It has to be artistically balanced.” What’s apparent is that she has a passion for both and she doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon. When asked what she still wishes to accomplish, Strickland states, “I want to just keep writing, and recording and doing new venues.” She adds, “The same joy I get from music, I get from interacting here with the kind spirits that walk in the door and really do feed everything in my life.” Strickland says that many of her customers also end up being in her musical audience. “It’s a great symbiosis.” With her freshly released

Cool, she will be back performing on Saturday, March 24 at the JazzErie Show at the Station Dinner Theatre and on Wednesday, April 4 at Lakewood’s Scallion Bistro. Later this summer she will sing at acclaimed historical Lewiston Jazz Festival. Strickland’s earliest musical influences include Dave Brubeck, Johnny Mathis and Nat King Cole. “I actually didn’t discover Ella Fitzgerald until later, but I just love her.” She also says that the Beatles and Doris Day were among her early favorites. Not surprisingly, music was also a strong presence in her family, who performed together as a quartet at their church. Her mom, performed as a singer and cello player when Jamestown had a civic orchestra and her sister is an accomplished pianist. Strickland’s son, Tim also collaborated in Cool singing two duets with his mother. Apart from her work with Razz and Friends, Strickland

will perform with different musicians at different gigs, something she says,“keeps you on your toes.” “Sometimes I am the band leader and I put together the gigs, sometimes another person will ask me to come and sing.” On the plus side, she said she meets so many talented jazz musicians. “It’s like a great big family and a lot of fun.” In 2010 and 2011 Strickland received an award from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Producers (ASCAP) for her work, which is given out to artists who write original music that is not “mainstream.” Talking about the creative process, Strickland says, “My experience of songwriting usually begins with a lyrical and/or musical phrase that literally pops up in my mind and instantly connects with me, either making me laugh or resonating for me emotionally.” From the new CD Cool one of her favorite songs is “My Love.” “Most of it came to me during a walk in the woods. It was all I could do to get back to the house fast enough to write it all done before I’d forget it!” In 2009, Strickland released her first CD Sweet. She has also recorded five CDs with Razz and Friends. A complete schedule of her performances is available through her website www.barbarajeanjazz.com. CDs may also be ordered through her website and are also available at Strickland Optical, 1911 Washington Street in Jamestown. A schedule for Razz and Friends is also available by visiting www.razzandfriends.com

Prendergast Library will move its Public Computer Center downstairs this spring to make instruction on job and computer skills more convenient. The back room of the Video Department is being transformed into the new home of the PCC. “Helping people upgrade their employment skills is one of the library’s most important functions, and we need to devote a more accessible space to it,” said Director Linda Mielke.

Autistic Students to Benefit from New Program Option Contributed Article Randolph Academy

Randolph Academy is taking steps to open a new program for autistic students this fall at its campus in Randolph, NY. This comes as a result of numerous inquiries from school districts and families who seek educational placements for students who are severely affected by autism. “The south western region of New York State has limited program options for nonverbal autistic students. We are in the process of gaining

formal approval from the New York State Education Department and will be conducting a regional needs survey this month, “states Lori DeCarlo, Randolph Academy Superintendent. The proposed program will include specialized instructional strategies developed under the guidance of a consulting firm with experience in Applied Behavioral Analysis, an approach that is proven to be effective. “The program will include aqua, equine and sensory integration therapies. We are very excited to offer this rich pro-

gram design to a population of historically underserved students,” added DeCarlo. “We are also exploring the addition of a boarding school component to the education program.” District officials welcome inquiries from interested school special education administrators and families.

His most recent cd, “Hi Love”, produced by Danny Kadar (My Morning Jacket, The Avett Brothers, etc.) is garnering Rowe national attention in the acoustic/singer/ songwriter scene for his intimate, personal singing style and lyrics. Gina Vecchio’s singing career began at a young age amidst her family members. As a result of such a nurturing and musical environment, Gina developed a style of her own and a passion to perform. As a singer with several local bands over the years, Gina became known for her voice and savvy stage presence. Blues has always been her passion, yet recently she dove into new territory writing and performing her own music, much of it moving signiﬁcantly away from her blues roots. Presently, her ﬁrst CD is being recorded and is due to be released by Fall of 2013. The show starts at 7 p.m. but the audience is asked to be seated by 6:30.

Around the World – One Man’s Journey Contributed Article Doug Osborne-Coy

Noted filmmaker to present ‘Around the World – One Man’s Journey’ as part of travel series at SUNY Fredonia’s Rockefeller Arts Center The most popular and welltraveled filmmaker to visit Rockefeller Arts Center as part of the World Travel Series returns on Saturday, March 24 with a retrospective of his award-winning career. Doug Jones will personally present his film “Around the World - One Man’s Journey” on March 24 at 7:30 p.m. in King Concert Hall on the SUNY Fredonia campus. It will be his 10th appearance in the series, which began in 1983. More than 5,000 people have attended the films presented by Mr. Jones at Rockefeller Arts Center. As a boy growing up in Kansas City, Mr. Jones would have had little reason to expect to see much of the world – save for his father’s job. Harold Jones was an engine inspector for Trans World Airlines — the legendary

The Treasures of Tutankhamen and the spectacular wonder of Machu Picchu are among the highlights of the travel/adventure ﬁlm “Around the World – One Man’s Journey,” which will be presented by Doug Jones on Saturday, March 23 at SUNY Fredonia’s Rockefeller Arts Center.

airline of Howard Hughes that traveled the world from its home base at Kansas City. As an employee of the airline, the elder Mr. Jones could take his family anywhere in the world TWA flew at no charge. Thus, Doug Jones had the opportunity to travel the globe from a young age. Mr. Jones’ earliest travels were to Los Angeles on the Lockheed Constellation, the elegant four-propeller airplane designed to meet Hughes’ dreams of transporting passengers high above the weather. Los Angeles would later become his home – and fittingly, the starting point for “Around the World – One

Man’s Journey.” As a college student at the University of Missouri in Kansas City, Mr. Jones continued to travel as often as he could. On college breaks, he took TWA flight No.1, which started in Kansas City and went to Hong Kong – the long way around with eight stops and 26 hours. It was a trip he made more than once. This early exposure to the world was the reason that he began producing travelogues in 1968. Over four decades later, he has produced a visual travel memoir of his 40 years filming the world. “Around the World — One Man’s Journey” is a retrospective of

a lifetime of travel by one of America’s best-known travel filmmakers. Drawn from over one half million feet of motion picture film, shot on six continents and in 60 countries, the film follows a circuitous route around the world stopping in the best known travel destinations. Mr. Jones filmed many places more than once over the course of several decades. The film shows the changes in the world and the changes in photography as well. Highlights of the film include The Taj Mahal, The Kamakura Buddha, The Pyramids, The Treasures of Tutankhamen, The Eiffel Tower, Big Ben,

The Berlin Wall, Iguazu Falls, Machu Picchu, The Great Wall of China and the glaciers of Alaska. Destinations as diverse as Hollywood, Hong Kong, Moscow and the Amazon are featured in this very personal film. Mr. Jones calls “Around the World – One Man’s Journey” a “travel memoir” and his description is accurate. Throughout the film, he shares personal stories tied to the locations. Touring the mountain range of Alaska in a Cessna airplane proved to be such an inspiring experience that Mr. Jones said he was motivated to become a pilot himself. “I had never seen mountains so close,” he recalled. Another unique experience came in Egypt in 1977 when Mr. Jones was allowed unaccompanied access to the Treasures of Tutankhamen. “I was up close and alone,” he said of the footage he shot of the inner coffin of King Tutankhamen, which is made from 250 pounds of gold. Mr. Jones shares numerous

personal thoughts – from his belief that New Zealand is “the single most beautiful country in the world” to the fact that Venice is his favorite city. Quoting Burton Holmes, the traveler, photographer and filmmaker credited as the “father of the travelogue,” Mr. Jones stated that, “To travel is to possess the world.” “That’s as true today as ever,” Mr. Jones said. “I’ve seen the world change in four decades and most of the change has been for the better.” “Around the World – One Man’s Journey” is sponsored by Fredonia Place as part of the Lake Shore Savings Season. General admission tickets are available at the door or in advance through the SUNY Fredonia Ticket Office (6733501 or fredonia.edu/tickets), located in the modular complex in the Dods Hall parking lot across from the Williams Center. One child 12 or under is admitted free with each paid adult.

Fredonia Dance Ensemble Concert to Feature High-Energy Styles Contributed Article Doug Osborne-Coy

A variety of high-energy dance styles, including African dance, will be featured when the SUNY Fredonia Department of Theatre and Dance presents “The Fredonia Dance Ensemble in Concert” from March 23 to March 25 in Marvel Theatre at Rockefeller Arts Center on the SUNY Fredonia campus. Evening performances are planned on Friday, March 23 and Saturday, March 24 at 8 p.m. There will be 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, March 25. Directed by Helen Myers, director of dance at SUNY Fredonia, the concert brings together the work of seven choreographers, 30 student performers and a host of faculty and student designers and technicians.

“This year’s concert features a variety of high-energy dance styles including African dance, flamenco-influenced ballet, theatrical dance and contemporary dance,” Myers said. The guest artists who have choreographed pieces for this year’s concert are Jill Pribyl and Grace Flavia Ibanda, both of Uganda, and Tressa Gorman Crehan, of Buffalo. Pribyl is a former Fulbright Scholar at Uganda’s Makerere University where she is currently teaching dance in the Department of Performing Arts and Film. She has worked in the genre of Dance Theater for more than 15 years, performing throughout the United States, Canada, Africa and the United Kingdom. Flavia Ibanda teaches dance at In-Movement/Art for Social Change, an organization that works with disadvantaged

youth through the arts in Uganda. She is also pursuing her master of arts in dance at Makerere University. She has taught dance throughout Uganda and in the United States. She has worked with choreographers from the United Kingdom, Wales, Ethiopia, the United States and Russia.

Myers said Pribyl and Flavia Ibanda were in residence at SUNY Fredonia from Oct. 13 to 21. “They taught a variety of master dance classes and re-staged two sections of an African dance-based Nutcracker,” she said. “These two sections, entitled ‘Ground Nut,’ will

be performed by 10 dancers in the Fredonia Dance Ensemble concert. ‘Ground Nut’ is a must-see fusion of African dance combined with the well-loved classic score by Tchaikovsky. It is a delight for the senses.” Gorman Crehan has been on the dance faculty at the University at Buffalo for more than 25 years. While at UB, she served as associate director of dance and head of the Dance Education and Creative Studies Program. She has been awarded numerous grants for dance, performance technology and choreography. Her choreographic credits range from concert dance to theatrical productions to computer generated choreography and her guest teaching and choreography have taken her throughout the United States, Mexico and South America.

“Tressa Gorman Crehan’s work ‘and when I turned around (I was gone),’ is a dreamy, lyrical piece for nine dancers,” Myers said. “Dancers move in and out of pools of light, dancing to the beautiful music of Frederic Chopin.” In addition to the guest artists, the concert will feature pieces choreographed by Myers and fellow Theatre and Dance faculty members Sam Kenney, Paul Mockovak and Angelika Summerton. “The Fredonia Dance Ensemble in Concert” is part of the Lake Shore Savings Season at Rockefeller Arts Center. Tickets are available through the SUNY Fredonia Ticket Office in modular complex in the Dods Hall parking lot across from the Williams Center, by phone at 673-3501 (1-866-441-4928) or online at fredonia.edu/tickets.

SUNY Fredonia and North Shore Arts Alliance Oﬀer Workshop Series to Local Artists Contributed Article Chuck Cornell

Initiative Made Possible Through NCCF Grant SUNY Fredonia and the North Shore Arts Alliance (NSAA) are offering a pilot series of workshops to local artists as part of an initiative to establish an Incubator for the Arts in Chautauqua County. The workshop series was made possible by a grant received by the Center for Regional Advancement (CRA) from the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation. The workshops are part of an arts incubator project, titled “The Chautauqua Partnership for the Arts and a Creative Economy (CPACE),” designed to facilitate the development of the creative economy, the arts and cultural community, and provide emerging artists and organizations with favorable conditions for growth. The effort was initiated by local artist and former Fredonia vil-

lage trustee Susan ForresterMackay. Last July, SUNY Fredonia and the North Shore Arts Alliance joined forces to develop and implement the arts incubator initiative. “This workshop series is being offered to local artists to help strengthen our arts community and creative economy,” said Jennifer Koss, President of the North Shore Arts Alliance. “By providing local artists with opportunities to better develop their craft and other skills, we can continue and enhance our efforts to strengthen the local economy and cultural opportunities.” “The aim of this series is to provide local artists with informative and useful workshops to assist them with professional development,” said Chuck Cornell, Director of the Center for Regional Advancement at SUNY Fredonia. “By engaging the community and bringing together university and community resources, we will enhance the arts-based economy in the Western New York region.” Those interested in partici-

pating in one or more of the workshops, offered at no charge, can register online at the websites of the CRA www. fredonia.edu/cra or NSAA www.northshoreartsalliance. com, or by contacting Jennifer Colon at 680-6009.

Dunkirk Presenter: Donald Michalak, Attorney at Law As a means of revitalizing communities, the white paper “Creative Placemaking,” an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), advocates community-based efforts to provide “training grounds for area youth; they incubate the next generation of creative workers” and to “nurture entrepreneurs and expand the ranks of self-employed artists and designers who market their creations far afield.” In line with “Creative Placemaking,” C-PACE is being supported by SUNY Fredonia and the NSAA to create and develop entrepreneurs in the arts; provide opportunities for Fredonia graduates, students, faculty and staff; develop a stronger cultural community; and impact economic development in the region. The principal objective is to advance creative growth by equipping nonprofit cultural groups and arts entrepreneurs with the skills, tools and busi-

Business Profile Five Star Urgent Care

By Mallory Diefenbach Star News Writer

Time is money. And in today’s economy, you can’t be wasting either. Five Star Urgent Care knows this and provides an alternative for non-life threatening ailments for a fraction of the cost and time. Located in Jamestown, Five Star Urgent Care is an excellent alternative to the ER. Five Star Urgent Care treats everything from colds and flu to bronchitis and sore/strep

throat to accidents and sport injuries. What makes Five Star Urgent Health Care an excellent alternative to the ER? Where the ER would charge from $75 to $250 for copay and $500 to $1200+ for those who are uninsured, Five Star Urgent Care only charges $15 to $50 for copay and $110 to $175 for those who are uninsured. The visit time is also cut dramatically as well. Where a typical ER visit typically lasts around an average of four hours, patrons of Five

Star Urgent Care are in and out within 30 minutes to an hour. In addition, the typical wait time for Five Star Urgent Care is around 15 minutes after registration. (No appointment is needed.) “Traditionally what happens is that a patient would be seen and be put in a waiting room. They’d register, they’d go to the waiting room and come to a room and be seen by one person,” Dr. John Radford, the owner of Five Star Urgent Care and certified emergency

This year’s honorees -- the last to be conferred by President Dennis L. Hefner -- are Dr. Cheryl Drout, Psychology professor; Audrey Miga, office manager, Fredonia College Foundation/University Advancement; and Denise Szalkowski, assistant to the President. The annual award recognizes effectiveness in performance, initiative and innovation, continuous personal growth and reflection of the spirit of SUNY Fredonia. Service pins and certificates will also be presented to employees with 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 or 45 years of service in recognition of their SUNY Fredonia milestones.

She has worked closely with Japanese international students and hosted students from Aichi University of Education and Aichi Prefectural College in her classroom, providing them with a warm welcome to American teaching as well as interactions outside of the classroom. These students feel at ease partly due to Drout’s own experience living in Aichi, Japan as a Fulbright Scholar. A member of the executive board of the Western New York/Northwestern Pennsylvania Fulbright Alumni Association, Drout recently collaborated on a Fulbright Outreach, Mentoring and Enrichment grant which she co-authored with faculty from Niagara University and Buffalo State. Drout coordinated the “Hearts for Sri Lanka” campaign to raise money for Sri Lankan tsunami victims and worked with President Hefner

to envision and create “Flight of Hope,” a highly visible campaign that produced more than 3,000 origami cranes that were hung in Cranston Marché, raised money for victim relief efforts and were ultimately sent to sister universities in Japan. As chair of the Psychology Department, Drout oversees 12 permanent faculty serving 300 majors and another 80 students with minors in Psychology. She specializes in social psychology with a focus on gender roles. Her regular course offerings include social psychology, cross-cultural psychology and industrialorganizational psychology. She has led honors and senior honors seminars and, most recently, began supervising the Psychology Lab.

SUNY Fredonia

Jamestown High School

For the second time in three years, dancers from SUNY Fredonia’s Department of Theatre and Dance were given the honor of performing in the Gala Concert at the Northeast Regional American College Dance Festival. This year’s conference, held March 2-5 at Penn State University, was a whirlwind extravaganza of classes, workshops, panels and performances that attracted nearly 500 students, teachers, choreographers and musicians from 25 colleges and universities from New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The culmination of the four-day event was the Gala Concert, which featured the 12 strongest works selected from an initial pool of 42 dances as determined by the adjudicators, nationally recognized dance artists Pegge Vissicaro, Boris Willis and Claire Porter. The dance performed by SUNY Fredonia students was among those chosen. The SUNY Fredonia students -- all Dance majors -- were: Stephanie Byron (sophomore), Christina Giannitsis (sophomore), Elizabeth Goretti (junior), Amanda Kellner (junior), Amanda Sahr (senior), Courtney Stewart (freshman), Abigail Sullivan (sophomore) and Sydney Thomas (sophomore). They took the stage at Penn State’s Playhouse Theatre to SUNY Fredonia Dance Professor Sam Kenney’s work, “Embodying,” set to music by Canadian industrial/ambient artists Delerium, costumed by fellow Fredonia Professor Dixon Reynolds, and lit by Marcus Berdeguez, a Technical Production major at Fredonia. Originally created for students

Jamestown High School is pleased to present this year’s musical, Cinderella. Performances will be held at the Reg Lenna Civic Center on March 22 and 23 at 7:30 p.m. and March 24 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the Reg Lenna Civic Center Box at 484-7070. As part of the musical experience the cast has participated in community outreach programs including a Breakfast with Cinderella, a “wedding ceremony” at the Sheldon House, a visit to Buffalo’s Children’s Hospital and a Coloring and Essay Contest. “It is so important that the students perform this kind of community outreach and this year’s musical, Cinderella is the perfect vehicle as it appeals to so many people, especially children,” said Director Michele Constantino, who has directed JHS musicals for 25 years. “We also want students to see a world outside of their own.” In February, 160 people, primarily children, attended the Breakfast with Cinderella. The cast performed a ceremony transforming children into princesses and knights for a day, presenting everyone with a crown and providing horse and carriage rides. That evening, a “wedding reception” between Cinderella and Prince Charming was held at the Sheldon House to a capacity crowd. Both experiences gave many children and adults the occasion to meet famous characters and the cast the opportunity to practice their characters in an interactive environment. Cinderella (Jennie Cross)

at the University of Massachusetts/Amherst in 2006 and restaged for this year’s Fredonia Dance Ensemble concert, “Embodying” was hailed by the adjudicators as a “physically, emotionally and spiritually engaging” work with “rich movement vocabulary,” and a “strong sense of spatial and dynamic exploration.” The adjudicators also praised the performance of Fredonia’s dancers, noting their full-bodied and spatial dancing, technical skill, and commitment to the work. This year’s festival also marked the second time that Kenney’s choreography has been recognized by inclusion in an American College Dance Festival Gala. Her 2008 work, “90% Metaphor,” set to Buffalo indie record artist Ani DiFranco’s poem, “Self-Evident,” costumed by Fredonia alumnus Christopher Thielking and lit by Theater Professor Todd Proffitt, earned SUNY Fredonia its first Gala invitation at the 2010 Northeast Conference at Mercyhurst College in Erie, Pa. “To have work selected for an ACDF Gala is no small feat for any school at any time. It

is certainly something that all of the participating universities hope for, but that very few achieve in any given year. To receive such an honor twice in such a short time frame is truly remarkable, and that this recognition comes at a relatively early stage in our development as a program makes it all the more meaningful,” Kenney said. “I am immensely proud of the work that our dancers have done, and hope that all of our students will see their success as an inspiration, as proof of what we can accomplish here at SUNY Fredonia,” Kenney added. “Embodying” will be presented as part of the 2012 Fredonia Dance Ensemble concert, alongside works by faculty choreographers Paul Mockovak, Helen Myers and Angelika Summerton and guest artists Tressa Crehan-Gorman, Jill Pribyl and Grace FlaviaIbanda. The concert runs from Friday through Sunday, March 23-25, in Marvel Theatre. Tickets are available through the Rockefeller Arts Center Box Office at 673-3501 or www. fredonia.edu/tickets.

paced, demanding office. With stopwatch precision, she maintains the president’s schedule, coordinates information packets for College Council members, attends Commencement Committee meetings and other gatherings and is responsible for a myriad of other details, duties and responsibilities. From her desk outside of the President’s office, Szalkowski is attentive and responsive to needs and requests from a variety of constituents, and interactions with faculty, staff, students, alumni, SUNY administrative officials, parents, College Council members, major donors and elected officials are an important part of her daily routine. Prior to joining the President’s Office in 2003, she served as a Secretary 2 in the office of the Vice President for Administration for four years and as a Secretary 1 to the assistant vice president for Human Resources from 1986 to 1999. Szalkowski earned a bachelor’s degree with a concentration in Human Resources Management and an associate’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, both from SUNY Empire State College. The annual recognition luncheon is open to all family, friends, and campus community members at a cost of just $5 per person. Registration, available at Student Accounts E148 Thompson or online, may be made until April 16.

A careful steward of campus resources, Miga’s considerable initiative and innovation have helped trim office and campaign expenses without compromising outcomes. She’s played a key role in creating policies and procedures to maintain donor information and train student workers. Her vast knowledge of the Foundation and commitment to the organization and its goals are valued by the Foundation staff. Before joining the Foundation in 1987, Miga was a stenographer for the Assistant to the President for 10 years. She previously worked as a legal secretary and medical records transcriptionist, is a graduate of Dunkirk High School, and holds an AAS Medical Administrative Assistant degree from Bryant & Stratton Business Institute.

They visited different departments and handed out autographs and took photographs with the children. “I love performing in the musical and work together as a team to create something bigger than just what you can do as an individual,” said JHS senior Jennie Cross, who plays Cinderella and has performed the last three years in JHS musicals. “Doing Cinderella this year has been so much fun, especially all of the community events. The children really believe that I am Cinderella and something like Children’s Hospital really gives you a perspective on the outside world. I really saw how much it meant to them that we visited.” The musical also held a coloring contest with entries still being judged and an essay contest with the theme: “if you could grant a wish to anyone, anywhere…who and what would be the wish?” The winner of the essay contest was Persell Middle School sixth grader Alicia Rensel. Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella is a musical written for television, with music by Richard Rodgers and a book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. It is based upon the fairy tale Cinderella. The story concerns a young woman

forced into a life of servitude by her cruel stepmother and self-centered stepsisters, who dreams of a better life. With the help of her Fairy Godmother, Cinderella is transformed into a Princess and finds her Prince. Cinderella is the only Rodgers andHammerstein musical written for television. It was originally broadcast live on CBS in 1957 as a vehicle for Julie Andrews, who played the title role.

Gleaning From Experience

Renowned artist Christo to give presentation, meet students at SUNY Fredonia Contributed Article

Fredonia High School’s spring musical this year is Fiddler on the Roof. Fiddler on the Roof is a musical theater classic that has been beloved by audiences for decades. One of the longest-running Broadway shows of all time, its theme of traditions versus a changing world is still relevant today. The story focuses on Tevye, a poor dairyman, and his Jewish family and friends in the small village of Anatevka in 1905 Tsarist Russia. As Jewish families are being forced to leave their homes, Tevye must also deal with his own daughters each moving further away from Jewish traditions with their selections of mates. The script is both powerful and funny and the score includes classic songs such as “If I Were a Rich Man,” “Tradition,” “Sunrise Sunset,” and “Matchmaker.” Fredonia High School’s production of Fiddler on the Roof involves over 100 FCS students in the cast, orchestra, and backstage crew. Principal cast members include Michael Hawk (Tevye), Mirjam Haider (Golde), Margaret Wright (Tzeitel), Shane

Five Chautauqua County Students Place At SkillsUSA Area 1 Regional Competitions At Alfred State College On May 6; One Will Go On To Nationals

Contributed Article E2CCB

Five Chautauqua County students enrolled in Erie 2-Chautauqua-Cattaraugus BOCES Career & Technical Education Programs, representing the Bemus Point, Chautauqua Lake, Forestville, Pine Valley and Ripley central school districts, placed first or second at the SkillsUSA Area 1 Regional Conference at Alfred State College on March 6.

The celebrated artist Christo, whose acclaim in the world of environmental art looms as large as his world-renowned installations, will appear at SUNY Fredonia in April as a guest of the college’s Department of Visual Arts and New Media, as part of its Visiting Artist Program. “This is a rare opportunity to bring one of the most internationally renowned visual artists to our campus,” said Alberto Rey, Distinguished Professor of Visual Arts and New Media at SUNY Fredonia. “Each one of his projects receives a tremendous amount of international recognition in the media and the art world. His work also has changed the way many people look at the idea of ‘art’.” Christo will deliver a lecture/ slide presentation Thursday, April 26, at 7 p.m. in King Concert Hall. The event is free and open to the public, but tickets will be required for admission. Beginning Monday, March 26, tickets will be available at the SUNY Fredonia Ticket Office, located in the modular complex in the Dods Hall parking lot across from the Williams Center, on the SUNY Fredonia campus. Tickets may also be ordered by phone at 6733501 (a $2 per order processing fee will apply). The general public is limited to four tickets per order. Ticket Office hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m. Christo’s two-day visit has been made possible by a generous gift from Cathy Marion (’79), director of the Marion Foundation and a member of the Fredonia College Foundation, and her husband, Jesse Marion, president of Marion Investments. The couple, whose previous generosity to campus is reflected in the recently renovated Marion Art Gallery in the Rockefeller Arts Center, is thrilled to be able to bring such a globally celebrated artist to SUNY Fredonia. Born in Bulgaria in 1935, Christo studied in Sofia and in Vienna and was a portrait artist in Paris, where he met his future wife and collaborator, Jeanne-Claude. In 1964, they relocated to New York City. His earliest sculptures were made of bottles and cans that were sometimes wrapped in paper, plastic or fabric. Working together with Jeanne-Claude (who passed away in 2009), Christo made his mark in the world of art by creating controversial outdoor sculptures often using fabric that forced observers to confront questions regarding the nature of art. Their early collaborative works included: “Dockside Packages” (1961, Cologne); “Iron Curtain – Wall of Oil Drums” (1962, Paris); and “Corridor Store Front” (1968, New York City). Their installations grew substantially with a suspended 42,390 cubic foot air package in Minneapolis and wrapped buildings in Chicago and Switzerland. These were followed by even larger projects, such as “Valley Curtain” (1972, Colorado); “Running Fence” (1976, Marin and Sonoma counties in California) and “Surrounded Islands” (1983, Biscayne Bay, Fla.). The couple wrapped the Pon Neuf Bridge in Paris with

beige cloth in 1985. In Japan, 1,340 giant blue umbrellas were installed across the Sato River Valley and 1,760 giant yellow ones were placed in Tejon Pass, Calif. In just 16 days, more than 4 million people saw “The Gates,” a 23-mile-long installation comprised of 7,503 vinyl gates with free-flowing saffron-colored cloth panels in New York’s Central Park in 2005. Each project was a major undertaking, consisting of detailed planning and construction phases, permits and environmental impact documentation and required hundreds of workers to install and remove. Installation sites were restored to their original condition and materials recycled after the art work was taken down. Though short-lived – lasting anywhere from eight hours to six months – Christo’s and Jeanne-Claude’s outdoor sculptures have been seen by people of all walks of life, including people who don’t routinely visit museums. A direct SUNY Fredonia connection to Christo facilitated the artist’s campus visit. “Having a faculty member on staff (Alberto Rey) who had worked on a couple of Christo’s projects gave us a window of opportunity to approach him. He was immediately receptive to the idea,” said Visual Arts and New Media Chair and SUNY Fredonia Distinguished Professor Bob Booth. “I’m sure it would have been more difficult without Alberto’s connection.” One of Christo’s upcoming projects is “Over the River,” featuring nearly six miles of silver-color fabric panels draped in sections over of a 42-mile stretch of the Arkansas River in Colorado’s

Bighorn Canyon. Exhibition is anticipated in August 2015, following a 28-month installation. “To truly appreciate the scale of their work — which is regularly many miles long — one should try to experience it in person,” said Rey, who worked on “Surrounded Island” and “Umbrellas,” both personal favorites, though “Over the River” could eclipse those two, Rey added. Mrs. Marion said she and her husband had the opportunity to view their breathtaking installation of “The Gates” in Central Park a few years ago and were awed by the bold scale of their work. “We hope that the students and everyone who attends his lecture are inspired by the passion and genius of this man who has dedicated his life to the pursuit of his art,” Mrs. Marion said. Rey echoed Mrs. Marion’s appreciation of the impact which Christo’s and Jeanne-Claude’s works have on people. “I can tell you that each of the works that I have experienced has moved me deeply and has affected me more than any work I have ever seen in any museum or other exhibition site. These are once-in-alifetime types of experiences,” Rey said.

better : I could bring some sticky notes, zipper bags and an ordinary pen to document what my little treasures are and just scrap them when I got home, have an album I love and a pile of photographs to pair them with. Preparation just didn’t look the way I expected it to. Smiling, I took the half-completed altered-book I never loved and almost tossed it into the recycling bin. Suddenly, I stopped and thought “Why start now?” By shelving this book, I know I’ll find a way to turn it into a treasured keepsake that I’ll love when the right project presents itself. Instead of trying to constrain myself with a format and color palette that doesn’t work with my style and personality, I’ll just take a few simple steps to ensure that I include everything I want to for my vacation album later on. That way I know that what I have is

a true reflection of my adventure, rather that conforming it to an album for no other reason than I already made it. Yet, who knows? I may wind up using it for this project anyway. I don’t want to plan my spontaneity too far ahead. This week’s $ pick: sticky notepad and zipper bags, widely available. These simple items can make a big difference when doing rudimentary documentation. The best part is that they take up almost no space in carry-on luggage.

this power is still available to us today. It declares that God wants to use this Resurrection power to help us do His will! However, in order to qualify for this scripture…you must be a Believer or follower of Jesus Christ. If you have not yet been born-again, I want to encourage you to accept Christ into your heart so that you will be His and have access to all that is written in the Word. Making this decision will not only guarantee an eternity in God’s presence, but will allow

the mighty power of the Resurrection to reign in your life! If you are now a born-again believer, I want to encourage you to pray this prayer for yourselves and Christian loved ones. This will help you to better understand the power made available through the Resurrection and how to tap into it.

line makes all difference in life. To some the finish line is at the end of the trial. These are the people that live to cross the finish line by themselves. To those that walk in God’s grace, this world has no finish line. Their finish line is not in this world but in that which is to come. Heaven’s finish line is unlike the ones of this world: It is a failure to cross it by yourself. In God’s race sin isn’t always something you’ve done, many times its something we left undone. According to 1 Samuel 12:23, failing to pray for others is a sin.

So how do we pray for others? Philippians 1:9-11 records a wonderful example of how to pray for others. Verse 10 in the Amplified Bible reads, “(I pray for you) so that you may surely learn to sense what is vital…and of real value…” People will never have a true quality life until they prize what God prizes. Pray for those around you to gain a sense of what should be priority. Pray that they would value God’s Word and the local church.

Scrapbooking Today Planning a Travel Album

By Anne Walterich Contributing Writer

There are two things I am definitely not great at: planning, and throwing things away. It didn’t take too much navelgazing for me to figure this out. When it comes to my life in general and scrapbooking projects in particular, I don’t think more than a few steps ahead and have a difficult time knowing when to throw in the proverbial towel. This can lead to issues. Rather than try to reframe this realization by focusing on my spontaneity and ability to creatively recycle odds-andends into something fabulous, I decided to take a radical approach and listen to Highly Effective People, college professors, life coaches, armchair psychologists and my mother for my next major scrapbook album and actually plan it

ahead of time. Why not? They must know something I don’t. I’ll be traveling soon and know I’ll want to scrap along the way, instead of coming home with a random pile of odds-and-ends, brochures, restaurant menus and shiny things I picked up off of the street. I’ve done it this way before. Though I remember the significance of most of the items and am able to journal about them, I always wind up with some things that make me wonder : What IS this? They inevitably wind up on a “Question Mark?” page or in the trash. Since I’ll be flying and want to travel light, I thought I should bring a prepared altered book that I could simply paste photos, ephemera and journaling cards into. That way, I’d be able to document daily and simply leave room for my

pre-selected (on my camera) “favorite” photos to adhere later on. (There’s always a Walgreens or a Wal Mart to print them somewhere!) I’d only bring a stack of journaling cards, a Micron pen and a roll of Scotch Double-Sided tape to go with the altered book and have that be the extent of my craftiness. I picked out a hardcover book to alter, carefully measured the pages, created a template from thick scrap cardstock, and went about choosing my patterned papers. I picked neutral shades of brown and blue, thinking that these would certainly coordinate with anything I wanted to add later on. Since I was adhering all of the papers at once, I used plastic grocery bags in between the pages to keep them from sticking together as the Liquitex Gel Medium dried. By the time I finished the first

half, I resented it. It was presumptuous of me to think that these pages would be appropriate for photos of a place I’ve never been to and adventures that haven’t happened yet. What if I have gorgeous panoramic prints that won’t fit into the altered book? What about 3-D ephemera that might be too heavy for the relatively thin pages? What if I find a 2-sided special something that would only be appropriate for a page protector? Did it even cross my mind that brown and blue aren’t my favorite color combination? I figured that I may as well roll with this, and throw it away. It felt wrong. In a flash of realization, it occurred to me that I WAS planning ahead. By bringing the tape, pen and a few journaling cards, I could find an album along the way and simply scrap with that. Even

Keeping the Faith

Dear Pastor, why is Easter so important?

By Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church of Chautauqua County

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

power that has been made available to them through the Resurrection. Due to space limitations, we will only list verses 17-20 of Chapter 1, “That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, (18) the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

(19) and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power (20) which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places….” This prayer declares that the greatest exercise of God’s power was the Resurrection and that it is important that we know and understand what God has called us to and what His plan is for our life and that

Weekly Word Praying for Others

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church of the Southern Tier

In 1 Samuel 12:23 Samuel the prophet says, “Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should SIN AGAINST THE LORD IN CEASING TO PRAY FOR YOU: but I will teach you the

good and right way.” Perhaps this is the greatest failure of the 21st Century Church (my church included): Selfishness. Praying for others has been replaced by praying for self. Praying for self is not wrong but a lack of praying for others represents a deep disregard for the character of Christ. Typically it is the troubles of life that drive people into our churches. Since loyalty is seldom the motivation to know God, we must realize that people will come and go because trials come and go. As a pastor, I have sat down

with new church comers who are facing severe challenges. When I open the Bible and teach them how to operate in faith it doesn’t take long for the troubles to subside. What happens then? Many, not all, fall away because the motivation to be faithful is gone! Am I saying it’s wrong to seek God when you are facing troubles? No! We should be grateful when people seek God in the midst of hardship. But what should we teach them? In the past, I have taught them how to get free from trouble and as soon as they were free from trouble they were free

from church! And when that happens we discover that God was like a pair of crutches to those people: Lean on Him when you are hurt and throw Him away when things feel better. Our problems are not worthy of such devotion! The devil won’t mind you being free from trouble if he knows you won’t remain faithful. Revival will not be founded upon our desire to be free from difficult circumstances; revival is defined by taking the active interest in what’s best for others. We must get over ourselves! Where you place the finish

By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

Last Sunday afternoon the St. Bonaventure women’s basketball team won their first NCAA Tournament game in program history. Tuesday night they advanced to the Sweet 16. For a program without any success until recently after joining Division I basketball in 1986, some might say they’re just playing with house money from here on in. Well, come Sunday they’ll hope any luck is on their side, instead of the Irish that is. The top-seeded Notre Dame Fighting Irish (32-3), led by likely first team All-American Skylar Diggins, will take on the Bonnies (31-3) Sunday in the Raleigh region semifinal. The winner will play the winner of the No. 2-seeded Maryland and No. 3-seeded Texas A&M for a spot in the Final Four. Things won’t be easy for the Bonnies,

who had to scrape their way through the first two rounds that included an overtime win over Florida Gulf Coast and a three-point squeaker over Marist. Notre Dame, meanwhile, won by 31 over Liberty before struggling — relatively speaking — with No. 8-seeded California before winning 63-52. The matchups behind the matchup will be the most fun, here, though. Bonnies’ head coach Jim Crowley and Irish head coach Muffet McGraw are two of the four finalists for the Naismith National Coach of the Year. You may have heard Crowley has already won that award, but that was given via ESPN.com. Then, guards Jessica Jenkins and Diggins are each Naismith Player of the Year finalists and are just two of 30 players across the country. Jenkins made another six threepointers in St. Bonaventure’s win over Marist to get the Bonnies here. But,

Bonnies advance to first Sweet 16 with 66-63 win over Marist Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Keep pinching yourself if you must, but all you'll get out of it is a nasty bruise. This isn't a dream. St. Bonaventure (313) is in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament. The Bonnies survived a last-gasp 3-pointer and defeated 13th-seeded Marist, 66-63, Tuesday night in the Second Round of the tournament.

They will face top-seeded Notre Dame (32-3) Sunday in Raleigh, N.C. at 2:30 p.m. Senior Jessica Jenkins drilled six 3-pointers and scored 22 points, and sophomore Doris Ortega (13 points) grabbed 10 rebounds to lead a dominant performance on the boards by the fifth-seeded Bonnies, who outrebounded Marist, 40-26. "Coach told me before the game I'd be able to crash the boards because they ball watch sometimes, and I knew

how important those (extra) possessions could be," said Ortega, who had five of SBU's 15 offensive rebounds. Coach Jim Crowley glanced at the box score and conceded the game was basically even — except for the boards. "If I had to pinpoint something that was key, that was it," said Crowley, who was relieved his technical foul with 4:57 left and the Bonnies up by seven didn't matter in the end.

Jammers Finalize 2012 Staﬀ

By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

With spring training heating up down in Florida, the Jamestown Jammers have made some noise of their own by announcing their coaching changes for the upcoming 2012 season. Angel Espada will take over the reigns as manager, replacing Dave Berg who was the manager of the club for the past two seasons. Espada was the hitting coach for the Jammers last season and prior to that, worked as the hitting coach for the Gulf Coast Marlins (of the Gulf Coast League) for two years. Before that, Espada, 36, played for the Bridgeport Bluefish of the Atlantic League from 1999-2007. He also spent time in the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets farm systems in the ’90s including a stint in the New York-Penn League in 1997 as a member of the Pittsfield Mets. Espada has a long line of professional baseball experience that included playing for a total of 14 seasons. Rich Arena will replace Espada as the hitting coach. Arena was a decorated high school coach in Tampa, Fla., before taking over as the Director of

"I think that's the first technical I've gotten in about six years, but I stepped out of the coach's box (to tell them about a shot clock issue) and I had been warned earlier, so I got a T," Crowley said. Behind 16 points from Jenkins, the Bonnies took a 38-31 lead at half, but the Red Foxes rallied to take a 49-47 lead with 10:44 to play. Chelsea Bowker, though, hit a short Continued on pg 2

ball, Arena was a scout for the New York Yankees. Also new to the staff is pitching coach Brendan Sagara, who has bounced around as a pitching coach for the last 10 years. He has worked in both the Braves and Mets organizations as either a coach or a scout. Rigoberto Silverio will return for his fourth season as a coach of the Jammers. Silverio alsp played for the Jammers as recently as 2007 after joining the Marlins system in 2005. Finally, Ben Cates will be in his first season as the team’s athletic trainer. He spent last season as an intern under the Athletic Training and Rehabilitation Coordinator, Gene Basham. “We are very excited to have this talented staff in place for the 2012 season,” said Jammers General Manager Matt Drayer. “With opening day just a few months away the season will be here before we know it.” The Jammers are an aﬃliate (Class A) for the Miami Marlins, a partnership since 2002. They won’t begin the season until June 18, which of course is still three months away.

The Mississauga native was named the Atlantic 10 Conference Player of the Year and also earned his second straight First and All-Defensive Team citations to go with four straight Player of the Week awards (the first in the A-10's history). The NABC was founded in 1927 by Forrest "Phog" Allen, legendary University of Kansas basketball coach and student of James Naismith. The nearly 5,000 NABC members are expected to uphold four core values of being a Guardian of the Game: advocacy, service, leadership and education.

But, even still, Diggins usually finds a way to put her imprint on the game one way or the other. In fact, in the three Notre Dame losses, Diggins still had two monsters games including 27 points against Baylor and 32 1 Kentucky

against West Virginia. But in each of those two games, she only had three assists in each. Thus, stop the surrounding cast, and you have a good chance. Priority No. 1 on that list will be the 6-foot-2 junior Peters, who nearly averages a double-double. They also bring a 6-foot-3 sophomore Natalie Achonwa off the bench, who has put up solid numbers despite only averaging 16 minutes per game. Obviously, the Bonnies have height issues and tend to struggle with bigger, stronger players in the middle. In their three losses, forwards usually burned the Bonnies. The NCAA Player of the Year (non-Brittney Griner division) Elena Delle Donne burnt them for 26. Villanova’s pair of 6-feet-plus forwards combined for 30 and Dayton had their way inside, too, in the A-10 Championship. Of course, the Bonnies had woeful shooting nights in all

three as well. Both teams shoot the ball extremely well, with Bonnies slightly better behind the arc. The Irish, on the other hand, are slightly better inside. Neither teams excel on defense, but don’t expect this one to turn into a track meet, either. Basically, there’s little doubt the Irish will be favored, but this isn’t the worst possible matchup for the Bonnies. The size disadvantage isn’t an impossible task to handle and the guards are pretty much even, which says a lot considering Notre Dame has the most talented guard in the country. How Bona can win: If you make it this far, you’re pretty good and that basically sums it up. If the Bonnies best player’s play like their best players, they’re going to have a very good chance to win this game. Keep Diggins somewhat in check and rebound well and I think they do win.

seven years ago has attained heights even its coach never imagined. "We're the new kids to the party," Crowley said. "I couldn't be more proud of this group and the way they've earned it. We've been told we couldn't do it consistently with the way we play, but our kids are about action, not words." The Bonnies' goal of simply reaching the NCAA Tournament has been trumped in resounding fashion. "I remember them saying at the beginning of the season that getting here was our goal, and that was great, because even if they didn't make it, they were committed to it, and that might serve them well later in life," Crowley said. "But once they got here, it wasn't enough. With the character of kids we have, and their willingness to believe in each other, nothing they do surprises me."

"And we didn't turn the ball over the last 11 minutes of the game." Crowley raved about Ortega's game. "Doris, what can you say, the bigger the game the better she is," he said. Jenkins was able to crack a smile about her missed free throw, and why not? After three straight trips to the WNIT, she and her teammates are one of 16 teams left standing. "When we saw the draw we thought we matched up pretty well, even though we knew they would be dog fights," she said. "This is just so much fun and we don't want it to end. Now, we having nothing to lose, which will be different from these games." A program wallowing in the depths of the Atlantic 10 just

The Bonnies didn't hit a field goal the last five minutes of the game, but CeCe Dixon hit all four of her free throw attempts down the stretch to provide the winning margin. The game appeared all but over when Marist, down three, threw the ball away with 10 seconds left and Jenkins was fouled on the ensuing inbounds pass. She had made 45 straight free throws, not missing one since Jan. 3 vs. Sacred Heart. Jenkins was 65 for 67 on the season from the line. But the front end of her oneand-one rimmed out, and the Bonnies had to play 10 seconds of great defense to force an off-balance three-point attempt by Leanne Ockenden. It wasn't close, Horton grabbed the rebound, and the celebration was on. "We kind of got tight offen-

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

When Mario Williams den, cided to come visit the Buffalo nsas Bills last Tuesday, there was nt little doubt in my mind it was rly all just a leverage ploy. After all, why would the top free re agent — on the defensive side of of the ball at least — sign with e, Buffalo? Small market, 12-year playoff drought, etc. and well… did I mention its Buffalo? But Williams stayed Tuesday night. Then he stayed all day s Wednesday, too. By the time Thursday came, Bills Nation et- was about to explode with d anticipation. Even constant d updates through Twitter were getting old. ng But Williams shocked me — and just about everyone else e of who knows what a football nal is — by settling on Buffalo. to While I’m sure Williams’ - agent was in constant contact with other NFL teams, its still in amazing Williams chose Buffalo without even looking, or visiting, elsewhere. While I don’t think the Bills are a playoff-caliber team yet, d this easily goes down as the r best offseason acquisition in the history of the franchise. Draft, trade, free agent. You par- name it, but it still won’t meat sure up to this. p it. It’s threefold. For one, the Bills t needed a pass rusher. While way it’s the most important part of out this, especially on the field, it pales in comparison to everything else. y a- But before that, just imagine the defensive front four if you haven’t already. A line of Williams, Kyle Williams, Marcell t Dareus and insert anybody n here. I don’t care if you have oal, Chris Winkler or Chris Kelsay on the other end, that player is getting through more times and than not. While Williams will almost assuredly improve the defense from Day One, the value of Williams contract cannot be and measured. It’s the most imporin tant part of this deal. o Midway through the lunacy of Williams Watch, I heard NBC News Correspondent Luke Russert offer his two cents about the possibility of Williams landing in Buffalo. Russert, who lives in Washington D.C., likened the potential move to what happened to his Washington Nationals the year before. Washington, basically the laughingstock of the National League since moving from Montreal, signed free agent outfielder Jayson Werth to a monster deal that shook up the world of baseball for an entire offseason. While the Nats overpaid and weren’t entirely successful last season, the message was loud and clear. Plus, they have a solid young cast of youngsters and badly needed offensive help. Werth was perfect. I had even made the parallel

the day before, but the more I thought about it, this was almost the exact same thing. The Bills are the laughingstock of the NFL. They haven’t been relevant in 15 years. If they were ever going to land a marquee free agent, they were going to need to overpay. Does Williams’ addition turn the Bills into a 10-6 playoff team by himself? Well, the short answer is no. But it will absolutely send a message to Bills players and fans alike that this franchise is willing to do everything it can to win games. That notion is one Bills fans abandoned a long, long time ago. I’ve had Bills season tickets for a few years now. Morale has been at a laughable low for seemingly as long as I can remember — and it only kept getting lower. If you walked around the stadium before a home game, it didn’t take a genius to realize that the only thing that kept these fans coming back was the simple fact that it was an NFL game in their city. After all, not a lot of people around the country have that luxury. This move, though, screams relevance. Whatever amount of money was spent is going to come back one way or the other. It’s a move Bills fans have been waiting on practically forever. Getting better and getting value, but finally, this move just sort of seemed to cement the idea that Buddy Nix and Chan Gailey know what they’re doing. Maybe it’s just me, but when the 2011 season mercifully ended, I was left wondering just long the current regime had left. And worst yet, how the next one would be doomed to fail because of everything that cursed this regime and one’s prior. But Nix and Gailey really have a foundation here. Last year’s draft class looks like it might pan out. Williams, 27, should be well productive throughout the entirety of that monster contract. Along with some other key young pieces on defense, new defensive coordinator Dave Wannstedt could put together a solid defense. Offensively, all hopes still ride on Ryan Fitzpatrick’s right arm, but with the faith I’m starting to have in Nix and Gailey, their lack of urgency to address that position shows me they believe in Fitzpatrick. After all, when he was healthy, the Bills had one of the league’s top offenses. When he wasn’t, he struggled and so did the offense. But, they also didn’t have Eric Wood, Fred Jackson and Donald Jones, three key starters. Again, can Williams make this team an instant contender? Maybe, maybe not, but I can’t be the only one who can’t wait to see how the offense looks when healthy and how the defense looks with a pass rusher for the first time in my adult life. Granted, I seem to be optimistic about the Bills chances each year when I have to be, but I don’t remember being this optimistic this early in the offseason. Yep, that’s what this was all about. Well done, Ralph Wilson. Well done.

Second win at Bristol no ‘fluke’

‘Slippery slope’?

Drivers foresee downside to making inner workings public

ale Earnhardt Jr. says folks just can’t keep a secret in the NASCAR garage these days. It’s not his fellow drivers who are being the blabbermouths, so to speak, it’s NASCAR officials and their new policies – and proposed ones – for sharing information among race teams and fans, too. Earnhardt, and a lot of his peers, say NASCAR’s proposal to share the data from the electronic fuel injection mechanisms of the top race finishers is putting the sport on a “slippery slope.” And he and others say the trend toward making the drivers meeting a public event takes away the opportunity for drivers and crew chiefs to have open and honest communication with each other, and with NASCAR officials, about how races are run. Earnhardt said that if NASCAR shares one team’s EFI data with the entire garage, a team that had somehow managed to get an advantage over the competition won’t get to keep it for long. “I’d rather not have that,” he said of the proposed sharing of information. “It would be a benefit to be able to see that. But, I think it is a slippery slope. “With the fuel injection, it brings in the ability this year to be able to see data that we’ve never been able to see before. I think we should ease into how we use that data, and how NASCAR allows us to use that data, kind of slowly not to upset the culture of the sport, or how things have worked in the past. “I think if we take this new door that has been opened to us and abuse it, it might not be good for the sport. I think it’s better for competition for everybody to have a few secrets.” Already, teams are able to look at data from other cars in their multi-car organizations and at data from affiliated teams. Jimmie Johnson seemed pretty pleased to see Tony Stewart’s EFI data from Las Vegas, where Stewart motored away from Johnson on several laterace restarts. “I did look at Tony’s data, and definitely have a direction and know what’s going on,”

Johnson said. “It’s a complicated thing that I’m certainly not going to share for the world to see. But I’ve got a clear direction of where to work.” Earnhardt and others also say that there are better ways for drivers to connect with fans than opening the drivers meeting to the public, as was the case at Las Vegas Motor Speedway two races back. He and many of his peers would rather go back to the old-style drivers meetings, which usually were held in a hot, cramped room at each race track. Only recently were media and other guests invited, and it’s been some time since there was real discussion at those meetings about issues on the track. “It hasn’t been, for a long time, a true ‘drivers meeting’ in the true sense of the word,” Matt Kenseth said. “Nobody is going to raise their hand and ask a question in that environment, not anybody these days, anyway.” Kenseth said that if a driver has an issue today, he tries to resolve it in a private meeting with NASCAR officials. “It is different, but it has been like that for a long time,” he said. “They have been letting more and more people in. I remember when we used to do it my first couple years in the series, we did it in the scoring stand at Charlotte, and you could barely get the drivers and crew chiefs in there. “That is all it was. It was never a media event or fan event. It was a drivers meeting where there was a forum with discussions and stuff like that. We haven’t had that in a long time.” Earnhardt Jr. agreed with Kenseth, saying he had difficulty following the basic instructions given in the meeting last week at Las Vegas. “I couldn’t see those video screens,” he said. “I really couldn’t pay attention to what was going on. So, the meeting to me didn’t serve its purpose.” Jimmie Johnson agreed with Earnhardt and Kenseth, saying the drivers meeting

“needs to be more intimate.” He said he only recently learned that for some time drivers meetings have been streamed online, and he doesn’t like that either. “I just feel like, that is what that meeting is for, we need an opportunity to sit there and have open communication weekly,” he said. “With all the eyes, it limits that ability, I believe.”

Patrick to run in charity race The dirt racing world is about to get a taste of Danica Mania. The female NASCAR driver is set to run in the Prelude to the Dream charity race on June 6 at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio. It will be the second start on dirt for the former IndyCar driver. “I raced on dirt once before in a go-kart when I was young, but that’s about it,” Patrick said in a track release. “It’s going to be a challenge for sure, but I know Tony [Stewart] has offered to help in any way possible. I’m excited about it, but I’m also nervous.” Stewart, who owns Eldora and is Patrick’s car owner in Cup, said he’s proud to have Patrick participate in Danica Patrick his charity event, (NASCAR photo) “I’m excited,” he said. “I told her: ‘Don’t feel like you have to come do this.’ “She said: ‘No, I really want to do this.’ “I’m excited for her. I don’t think it’s something that she has had a chance to do very much. It will be fun to get her in an environment that is definitely new to her, for sure.”

Vickers: Driving No. 55 more than second chance

Brian Vickers during practice for Sunday’s Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. (NASCAR photo)

Unable to secure a full-time ride after his Red Bull team ceased operations at the end of last year, Brian Vickers signed on for a six-race ride in the No. 55 Toyota at Michael Waltrip Racing, and began his gig with a fifthplace finish in the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. He led three times for 125 laps in the car he’ll share with Mark Martin. He said it’s not exactly a second chance, career-wise; it’s more. “It’s really my third or more,” he said, adding that he’s thankful for “all the experiences that have happened in my life – racing with a couple of good teams, to Red Bull, winning and being in the Chase and being in the hospital the next year and not knowing if I was ever going to race again. Then getting a second chance ride [at Red Bull], and now getting, really, a third chance. Very grateful for all those chances and opportunities.” He said he believes the sluggish economy, not his run-ins with Chase contender Matt Kenseth last fall at Martinsville and Phoenix, or the sensational article about him in Maxim magazine in which he was portrayed as a liquor-drinking party guy, is the main reason he doesn’t have a full-time ride. “There have been a lot of opportunities where I’ve worked with owners and we’ve been really close to putting something together, and there’s been a lot of interest and they’ve been very excited, but the sponsorship hasn’t come through,” he said. “That’s probably been the biggest factor.” He also disputes the content of the Maxim article, saying: “That was completely a lie.” Vickers said his main goal now, in the six races he’ll be in in the No. 55, is to have a good time. “For me, it’s just go out there and have fun, and just enjoy the experience,” he said. “I’ve been through this a couple times now, where I don’t know if I’m going to race again … so I’m just grateful for this opportunity.”

When Brad Keselowski won the Irwin Tools Night Race last fall at Bristol Motor Speedway, some said it was because he figured out how to beat the system that measured speeds on pit road, a system that has now been changed. On Sunday, after he led four times for 232 laps in winning the Food City 500, there wasn’t much to be said other than that he put an old-fashioned whipping on his peers. “The fall race was a Brad Keselowski great win, but when (NASCAR photo) you win one and people tell you it was a fluke, you just want to drive that much harder to win the second,” Keselowski said. He said his No. 2 Dodge was a fast one, and his crew made all the right calls. “I told somebody before the race, ‘This is the best race car I’ve ever had in Cup.’ And it showed off [Sunday],” Keselowski said. “Hopefully, we have more cars like this, and we’ll win more races and continue to move the needle forward. “I’ve said in pre-season this year that the goal here at Penske Racing is to win a Sprint Cup championship, and that’s where we’re all pushing. One win certainly doesn’t achieve that, but it’s a great step and we need more of these steps.”

Golden State rematch Sunday This week’s Auto Club 400 at Auto Club Speedway in California offers the opportunity for a rematch between home-state drivers Kevin Harvick, from Bakersfield, and Jimmie Johnson, from El Cajon. Last year, Harvick used a last-lap pass to beat Johnson, a five-time Auto Club winner. The year before, Harvick hit the wall late, allowing Johnson to win even though Harvick appeared to have the faster car. “The last two years, the race has pretty much come down to us and the 48 [Johnson],” Harvick said. “The year before, I ran into the wall, and last year we won. That was good to come back and rebound from the mistake from 2010. Being able to race with Jimmie was a lot of fun, especially at the California race track.” For Johnson there are few places more special than the Fontana track. It was there, back in 2002, that he got his first Cup win, in his 13th career start, and he won again there in ’02, making him the first rookie to sweep Cup races at a track. He said that first Cup win was as big as it seemed at the time. “That was everything to me and my career,” he said. “I knew driving [Jeff Gordon’s] equipment, that if I didn’t win – after he came off a championship season and basically handed me his cars – that I was going to be in trouble. “So to win in my 13th start, 10th race of that season, that is my most memorable win, period.”

Daytona to repave fire damage The damage caused by a fire touched off when Juan Pablo Montoya slammed into a jet dryer during the Daytona 500 will result in a repaving of a portion of Turn Three at Daytona International Speedway. Lane Construction, the company that repaved the track in 2010, has been hired to do the work.

Comeback Victory Saturday Night Keeps Playoﬀ Hopes Alive By David Olesky Jamestown Ironmen

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — Luc Gerdes and Jeff McFarland each scored in the third period to give the Jamestown Ironmen a 3-2 victory in Traverse City on Saturday night. The teams traded first period goals with Matt Moore getting Jamestown on the board first with his fifth goal of the season only 2:03 into the period. The North Stars answered back late in the period Jared Van Wormer beat Joe Gladnick to tie the score. The North Stars took the lead in the second period on a goal by Mitchell Snider. Jamestown was lucky to escape the second period behind by only one goal as they were outshot 29-13 through 40 minutes of action. The play of Gladnick in goal would prove to be key for Jamestown as Luc Gerdes scored for the fifth time in his last seven games to tie the score with less than five minutes left in regulation. McFarland scored the eventual game winner just two minutes later and the Ironmen survived a late scare by the North Stars with

North Division. The Ironmen have six games left in the regular season while the Warriors have only two left on their schedule. But Friday, the Ironmen missed an opportunity to gain two points in the playoff race as they dropped a 3-1 decision to Traverse City. The teams traded goals in the first period with the North Stars jumping out to an early 1-0 lead on a goal by Van Wormer. Gerdes continued in his late season offensive burst with his seventh goal of the season late in the first period. It was the fourth time Gerdes had scored in his last six games played. Unfortunately the Ironmen offense would never get going in the final two periods. They were outshot 27-18 through the final 40 minutes and the North Stars scored one in the second period and added an insurance marker in the third period. The Jamestown power play continued to struggle going 0-for-5 in the game while Traverse City was 1-for-4 with the man advantage. Jamestown will head to Port Huron next Friday as they try to move closer to clinching a playoff berth in their inaugural season in Jamestown.

Manning Chooses Broncos By Arnie Stapelton Associated Press

DENVER (AP) — Peyton Manning wants to play for the Denver Broncos in Act II of his outstanding career. A person briefed on negotiations said the NFL’s only four-time MVP called Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams and told him that he had picked the Broncos. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the matter. Adams released a statement Monday confirming the Titans were out of the running and told The Tennessean: “He called me himself and told me he wasn’t coming, that he made his mind up to go with Denver.” ESPN first reported Manning instructed his agent to negotiate the details of a deal with the Broncos, less than two weeks after the quarterback became a free agent when the Indianapolis Colts released him. Manning sat out all of 2011 because of multiple neck surgeries, but his success in the past has made him this offseason’s most soughtafter player. He was wooed to Denver by Hall of Fame quarterback Elway, who led the Broncos to two Super Bowl championships and now serves as their vice president of football operations. Elway never sounded all that convinced that Tim Tebow was the right answer at the sport’s most important position and now could trade him, even though the popular QB energized the Broncos in leading them to the playoffs last season despite some erratic play. The statement from Titans owner Adams said: “I want to thank the whole organization for their efforts in trying to sign Peyton and also to Peyton for the time he put into the process. Peyton called me this morning to inform me of his decision and obviously I am disappointed,

Peyton Manning, seen here in Nashville, Tenn. visiting the Tennessee Titans, will reportedly sign with the Denver Broncos as early as Tuesday.

because I thought we would be a perfect fit.” The San Francisco 49ers were the other team trying to land Manning. He was cut loose March 7 by the Colts so they could avoid paying him a $28 million contract bonus. The move marked the end of an era, a 14-year alliance between the team that drafted Manning No. 1 overall and the QB who brought Indianapolis from football irrelevance to the 2007 Super Bowl title and a second appearance in the NFL championship game three years later. But with Manning’s rehab continuing, the Colts decided it was time to rebuild from top to bottom, and they are expected to take Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck with the top pick in April’s draft. Manning landed on Tebow’s turf with all the trappings of star treatment — flown to town on a chartered plane, then spending the day with Elway, coach John Fox and general manager Brian Xanders. From there, Manning crisscrossed the coun-

Tar Heels’ Marshall Breaks Bone In Right Wrist By Aaron Beard Associated Press

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina point guard Kendall Marshall broke a bone in his right wrist during the second half of Sunday’s win against Creighton in the NCAA tournament. Marshall was hurt when he drove to the paint and was knocked to the floor by Ethan Wragge with 10:56 left. The left-handed point guard hit one of two free throws, then left the game briefly before returning and playing about 7 more minutes before leaving for good with 1:54 left. Coach Roy Williams later cleared reporters out of the locker room to inform the team of Marshall’s injury. His status for North Carolina’s game against Ohio on Friday in the round of 16 in St. Louis is unclear. Team spokesman Steve Kirschner said medical staff planned to put Marshall in a cast Sunday night for his comfort. “All we know right now is it’s a fracture,” Marshall said. “Luckily it’s my right hand. If it was my left hand, then we’d probably have some problems. But we’ll take it day by day and figure it out.” Dennis Marshall, Kendall’s father, told CBS.com on Sunday night that his son would have surgery Monday morning to insert a screw in

try in search of a new team, as various clubs courted a guy with more than 50,000 yards passing, nearly 400 touchdowns and 11 Pro Bowl selections. After Denver, next up was a meeting with the Arizona Cardinals, and he also spent time speaking with — or throwing for — the Titans, 49ers and Miami Dolphins, with TV cameras and even helicopters often on the trail. Somehow, the 49ers managed to keep their audience with Manning a secret for days, until word emerged that they were in the running for him, too. In the end, though, Manning decided he wanted to trade in his Colts horseshoe helmet for one adorned by a Bronco. The move would allow him to stay in the AFC, a conference he knows well and one considered weaker than the NFC at the moment, and would re-establish the tantalizing prospect of playing against his brother, New York Giants quarterback Eli, in a Super Bowl. They already have three titles in the family.

As it happens, the next Super Bowl will be hosted by New Orleans, which also is the Mannings’ hometown; their father, Archie, used to play for the Saints. Think a Manning vs. Manning matchup for the championship in the Big Easy might garner attention? Manning-to-Denver also creates a fascinating dynamic with Tebow, only months after the former Heisman Trophy winner was the focus of the NFL regular season and perhaps the most talked-about athlete in sports, a polarizing figure both because of his style of play — as far as possible from a classic, dropback passer — and his outspoken religious beliefs. After taking over a struggling team, Tebow led the Broncos to comeback victory after comeback victory, struggling for three quarters before starring in the fourth quarter and overtime. With an offense transformed into a spread option attack built on Tebow’s running, and a strong defense that kept games close, the Broncos won the AFC West title. A little more than two months later, Tebow could be on the trading block. That’s not the only domino that could fall now that the offseason’s biggest free agency question is seemingly settled. San Francisco could decide to keep its own free-agent QB, Alex Smith, who went to Miami for a visit with the Dolphins after the 49ers’ flirtation with Manning became public. If Smith does go back to the Niners, perhaps Miami will look to trade for Tebow, who played in college at Florida. The Titans, meanwhile, probably will stick with grooming Jake Locker, who was a first-round draft pick a year ago. Denver, meanwhile, could try to give Manning some new targets, because they still have millions of dollars in salary-cap space available. The Broncos did not exactly have a wealth of wideouts last season, other than Thomas, and they lost Eddie Royal to the San Diego Chargers as a free agent.

Phillies Slugger Utley Doubtful For Opening Day

By Rob Maaddi Associated Press

CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) — Chase Utley will likely start the season on the disabled list for the second straight year because of problems with both knees. The five-time All-Star second baseman left camp to see a specialist, and it’s uncertain when he’ll be ready to play for the Philadelphia Phillies. Utley was believed to have only an injured right knee, but general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. indicated Monday the left one may be causing more trouble. “The guy’s got bad knees. We know it and that’s a fact,” Amaro said. “We’re just trying to limit and also make sure he’s ready to go and play the bulk of the season. He told me his right knee feels much better. His left has been bothering him.” North Carolina star point guard Kendall Marshall scored doubleUtley hasn’t played in a digits for the sixth game in a row in the Tar Heels 87-73 win over Saint Louis in the Third Round of the NCAA Tournament Sunday. game this spring because of However, Marshall was diagnosed with a broken right wrist after his condition, which forced the game and had surgery Monday morning.

Really this is about making sure he’s healthy and playing a significant amount of the season so whatever time it takes for him to feel confident about his knees, that’s the important part whether it’s tomorrow or the next week.” Amaro said he’s not looking outside the organization to replace Utley. Placido Polanco also can play second base if the Phillies wanted to add a third baseman instead. The plan for now is to use Freddy Galvis at second. Galvis, a top prospect once considered the shortstop of the future, has been adjusting to the new position. “I keep working hard, so we’ll see what happens,” Galvis said. “It’s a little different angle. You see the whole field at shortstop. Biggest difference is turning the double play. At shortstop, I can see the runner. But so far, everything is good.” Galvis has drawn high praise from manager Charlie Manuel and Amaro. “Freddy’s done a nice job for us,” Amaro said. “Until somebody unseats Freddy, I think he’s one of the candidates. I

like Galvis. Has Galvis done anything to warrant not playing? He’s been our best player this spring. We’re going to give him a chance.” The Phillies already are without Ryan Howard. The former MVP is recovering from surgery on his left Achilles and is unlikely to return before June. Howard remains in a walking boot, though he’s doing some light exercising and cardio work. Howard suffered a setback early in spring when he developed an infection around the wound near his surgically repaired leg. “Status quo on Ryan, trying to heal the wound and once the wound is healed, we’ll get him doing more stuff,” Amaro said. Utley batted just .259 with 11 homers and 44 RBIs in 103 games last year, and his batting average and slugging percentage have dropped each season since 2007. It’s possible the 33-year-old Utley may never be the same player who once was considered one of the best all-around stars in the majors. “I worry about Chase because it’s a chronic knee problem,” Amaro said. “About his career? I don’t know.”

Sciandra, Murray Combine For No-Hitter; Fredonia Returns From Florida 5-8 Contributed Article Fredonia Sports Information

FORT MYERS, Fla. — The Fredonia State baseball team wrapped up its southern trip in fine fashion as juniors Angelo Sciandra and Zach Murray combined on a no hitter in a 7-0 victory over Skidmore College. Skidmore claimed the opener, 4-1. Sciandra started Game 2 after tossing a scoreless inning to end Game 1. He retired the first five batters before brushing Dan Panozzi with a hit by pitch. An infield popup ended the second. After a groundout to Sciandra, the nine-hitter worked his way on with a walk. A strikeout and popout squelched that rally. Sciandra issued a walk to start the third. After a popout, another walk put runners at first and second. Sciandra was then removed and Murray entered the game. He induced a fielder's choice, putting runners at the corners with two out. Murray then punched out Nick Barra looking to end the inning. Murray began the fifth inning with back-toback walks with the top of the order up. A strikeout, infield popout and grounder to third

ended the inning. Murray allowed one more runner in the final two innings on a two out walk in the sixth. All told, the duo walked six and struck out three. The only loud out came on a line drive to center to end the third inning. “Ace and Murray struggled with their com-

mand all game, but they both battled,” said head coach Matt Palisin. “I had planned on only three innings from Ace. He had the nohitter going and talked his way back onto the mound in the fourth. The big thing was, he had not given up any hard hit balls. He had six popups, a strike out and a weak comebacker to that point. They were not squaring him up.”

Skidmore had come in on an offensive hot streak, scoring 21 runs the day before. Offensively, the Devils scored two in the second. A hit by pitch — one of seven issued by Skidmore pitchers on the day — an error and a sacrifice put runners on second and third. Sean Urckfitz ripped a single to plate the first run. Alex Foster grounded out for the second run. The Devils scored three more in the fifth. A single and two hit by pitches loaded the bases. Dan Greco had a two-run single. Ryan Carmody the beat out a double play ball as the Devils added the third run of the inning to take a 5-0 lead. The Devils added to more in the sixth. Dan Fetes had a two-out single. He stole second and Dillon Lowe walked. A double steal and an errant throw accounted for the first run. Brian Sheehan drove in the final run on a base hit. Jake Nowak had two hits to pace the Devils. Game 1 saw Zach Hugg make a quality start. Skidmore scored one run on a two-out infield hit. Three runs in the fifth came after a pair of Devil miscues. Chris Messina and Dan Greco had two hits in Game 1. The Devils finish their trip with a 5-8 mark.

Bonnies Take Two Of Three From Marshall Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

BECKLEY, W. Va. — The St. Bonaventure baseball lost the final game of a three-game series at Marshall 6-3 Sunday afternoon. The Bonnies began the scoring in the top of the first inning as sophomore first baseman Justin Brozick scored on a fly out by junior third baseman Billy Urban. Marshall took the lead in the bottom of the second with two runs and added two more runs in the bottom of the third. The Brown and White responded with homeruns by Urban and senior right fielder Ryan Skellie in the top of the fourth, making the score 4-3. However, the Thundering Herd added runs in the bottom of the fifth and the bottom of the eighth as St. Bonaventure failed to score for the rest of the game.

Urban lead the Bonnies at the plate, going one for three with two RBI and hit his first homerun of the season. Starting pitcher redshirt senior right-hander Cael Johnson threw four and a third innings, recording five strikeouts while allowing four earned runs, five hits and six walks. Sophomore righty Asa Johnson struck out and hit a batter and allowed a hit in one and two thirds innings. Urban and left-handed senior Nick Brennen each pitched an inning, giving up one hit and one hit, one run, one walk and recording one strikeout respectively. Saturday, St. Bonaventure won the second game against Marshall 10-8. After two scoreless innings, Marshall posted two runs in the bottom of the third. The Bonnies cut the deficit to one on an RBI single to left field by junior first baseman Austin Ingraham, scoring junior third baseman Urban.

The Brown and White tied the game in the top of the sixth on a triple by senior catcher Michael Grieco, bringing Ingraham home. Marshall reclaimed the lead in the bottom of the sixth. St. Bonaventure took a 7-3 lead with five runs in the top of the seventh. Urban hit a RBI single to right center field, scoring junior shortstop Michael Meredith. Senior right fielder Skellie singled to left field, batting in junior second baseman Jason Radwan. Sophomore first baseman Brozick singled to center field, bringing home Urban. Ingraham hit a single to right field, scoring Brozick and Skellie. The Thundering Herd responded with five runs of their own in the bottom of the inning, taking an 8-7 lead. The Bonnies took control of the game in the top of the eighth with three runs. Senior left fielder Brennen hit a single to the right side

of the field, batting in Urban and Radwan. Skellie scored on a ground out by red shirt freshman second baseman Derek Morgan, giving the Brown and White a 10-8 lead and the final score in the win. Ingraham led St. Bonaventure at the plate, going three for five with three hits and three RBI. On the mound, starting senior righty Jordan Crane pitched six and two-thirds innings, recording three strikeouts and allowed 12 hits and two walks. Radwan picked up the win, striking out two hitters, hitting two batters while allowing three hits and no walks. Redshirt junior Eddie Gray pitched eight innings and allowed just one run leading St. Bonaventure to a 3-1 win over Marshall Friday to start the three-game series. The Bonnies opened up the scoring in the top of the fourth inning on a

sacrifice fly by junior third baseman Urban, scoring junior outfielder Eric Jutca. Junior first baseman Austin Ingraham then doubled to left field, batting in senior left fielder Brennen. The Brown and White tacked on another run in the top of the fifth after Brennen singled to center field, scoring junior second baseman Radwan. The Thundering Herd scored a run in the bottom of the eighth, but ultimately couldn't rally in the bottom of the ninth to tie or win the game. Radwan closed out the game for the Bonnies, allowing a hit and a walk and striking out two batters. Brennen went two for four with an RBI. Ingraham and Urban also batted runs in. Now 7-6 on the season, St. Bonaventure will host Big 4 rival Niagara Tuesday at 3 p.m. at Fred Handler Park at McGraw-Jennings Field in the team's home opener.

Bills Shred Frugal Reputation With Williams Signing By John Wawrow Associated Press

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson can be a big-spender, after all. d an Frustrated after 12 seasons of missing the an playoffs, and realizing that at 93 he’s not getting . any younger, the Hall of Fame owner was fully on board in prompting the team’s successful spare-no-expense pursuit to land prized freet. agent defensive end Mario Williams. Wilson ld said his motivation had nothing to do with of addressing his critics, the most polite of whom call him frugal. in “I didn’t do this to show people I’m not as cheap as they think I am,” he said Friday with a big laugh over the phone from his home in suburban Detroit. “I did it to help the community, to help the team, to get back to the playoffs. We need good players.” No one’s going to be calling Wilson cheap after the splash the Bills made two days into free agency Thursday by signing Williams to the richest contract ever given to NFL defensive player. The 2006 No. 1 draft pick and two-time Pro Bowl starter, who set the Houston Texans franchise record with 53 sacks, is guaranteed $50 million over six years. The deal is potentially worth $100 if Williams meets all the incentive clauses. It was a bold move made by a team with a once-proud tradition that has become an NFL afterthought in missing the playoffs for a dozen years. It’s the league’s longest active drought, and a stretch during which Buffalo’s enjoyed just one winning season, going 9-7 in 2004. With this one signing, the Bills addressed their biggest need by improving an anemic pass rush, while also making a case that they could well be relevant again. “I can’t put a figure on how much better we’ll

be,” Wilson said. “But he’ll certainly improve us.” Wilson said the Bills’ pursuit of Williams began when the player’s agent contacted the team to gauge its interest after it became apparent the Texans didn’t have enough salary-cap space to re-sign the star pass rusher. “He said, `It’s down to four teams,’ and I said, `Well, put us in the mix,”’ Wilson said. The next step came Tuesday, when the Bills sent a private plane to North Carolina to pick up Williams and fly him back to Buffalo. Despite warnings from Williams’ camp that he would entertain offers elsewhere, the Bills kept

the player in Buffalo to sell him on staying. The Bills went so far as to have Williams’ fiancée, Erin Marzouki, fly to Buffalo on Wednesday. The two then got a tour of the area, and the trip included a few house-hunting stops, Wilson said, adding that Marzouki has already found a potential home. “If we didn’t sign him while he was in Buffalo, we’d never get him,” Wilson said. “The agent would take him somewhere else, for more money. But this guy (Williams) made up his own mind and liked what he saw.” General manager Buddy Nix said signing

Williams was not a departure from his buildthrough-the-draft philosophy, but instead a chance to land a difference-maker. “We’ve said from Day 1, that if there’s a guy there that we think can make difference, we’ll be aggressive and go after the guy,” Nix said. “This just plugs up a piece of the puzzle, and he’ll get us over the hump.” The Bills have attempted to make quick fixes with big contracts that have failed in recent years. Signing Terrell Owens to a one-year $6.5 million contact three years ago boosted ticket sales, but not the Bills’ won-loss record with a 6-10 finish. Then there was their high-priced free-agency foray in 2007 that failed to pan out. That’s when Buffalo committed a combined $62 million to offensive linemen Derrick Dockery and Langston Walker in a bid to shore up its unsettled line. Both were cut before the start of the 2009 season. Williams’ signing comes at a critical juncture for the franchise. The Bills are entering their final year of their lease at Ralph Wilson Stadium with the state and Erie County. Negotiations have yet to begin, but the Bills are anticipated to be asking for as much as $100 million in taxpayer money to help fund major renovations — both structural and fan-friendly enhancements — to the 40-year-old facility. The Bills were also in jeopardy of playing second-fiddle in a passionate sports town that’s turned its attention to the NHL Sabres since Pennsylvania billionaire Terry Pegula purchased the team last year. Pegula made a big splash last summer by committing more than $140 million in contracts in his objective to build a contender. “Yeah, we’re back in the headlines, and I hope we stay there,” Wilson said. “I hope the headlines get brighter.”

Bills Notes Ticket Rush After Williams Signing ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The newest member of the Buffalo Bills has yet to take the field but he's already made an impact on the fans. The Bills say the ticket oﬃce has been so busy since Thursday's signing of free-agent defensive end Mario Williams that it added Saturday hours.

Chief Executive Oﬃcer Russ Brandon said Friday that fans bought up more than 1,000 new season tickets with 24 hours of the signing, and another 1,000 season tickets were renewed. Williams was selected first overall in the 2006 draft by Houston. After quarterback

Peyton Manning, he was regarded as one of the top free agents available this offseason. The Bills are coming off a 6-10 season. They have missed the playoffs for 12 straight years — the NFL's longest active drought.

Rinehart, Urbik Tendered; Will Return To Buffalo ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills have retained the rights to offensive linemen Chad Rinehart and Kraig Urbik by tendering them contract offers a day before the start of the NFL’s free agency period.

Urbik started 13 games split between right guard and center last season. He’s a thirdyear player, who completed his second season with the Bills after being claimed off waivers in September 2010.

Rinehart had 12 starts in 16 games last year, splitting time between right and left guard in his first full season with Buffalo. He’s a fourth-year player, who spent his first two seasons with Washington.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article

Department of Environmental Conservation

Scattered rainstorms moved through the area, adding a bump to stream flows. Cattaraugus Creek has higher flow of about 1,400 cubic feet per second and will not be an option this weekend. Conditions on the Erie County streams range from clear to ideal color. Chautauqua County received more rain than the Buffalo area and those streams may still be murky today, but good bets for the weekend. Anglers are catching fresh and dropback steelhead throughout the tributaries, however catches have been better in the mid to upper sections of

the streams. The unseasonably warm weather already has suckers moving into the streams, so get out soon if you plan to do any steelhead fishing this spring. Some steelheads are actively spawning and it is recommended that anglers avoid spawning pairs. Steelheads are taking a variety of baits including; egg sacs, egg pattern flies, trout beads, jigs with grubs, stonefly imitations, streamers, minnows and nightcrawlers. Lake Erie and Harbors A break in the windy weather allowed some boats to get out on the lake this week. Out of Sturgeon Point, boaters saw good perch catches in 48-64 feet of water. Emer-

ald shiners fished just off the bottom were the ticket. Anglers continue to see brown trout catches in Dunkirk Harbor. Anglers can target trout from the city pier, DEC fishing platform or by boat. 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. Warming temperatures will soon draw bullhead into the harbor, if not already. Chautauqua Lake Anglers are starting to catch a few

keeper crappie in the canals, but the strong crappie bite has yet to start. Live minnows or small tube jigs are good baits for crappie. Bullhead should start to show in the canals and near shore areas soon. Upper Niagara River Due to consistent murky conditions, there has not been much fishing activity on the upper river this month. Warm weather and improved water clarity will help get anglers out. Anglers usually catch rainbow trout at this time of year from Bird Island Pier, Brodeick Park and the northern tip of Squaw Island. Anglers can target trout by drifting egg sacs and minnows or by casting spoons. Spring can also be a good time to target yellow perch in the

sheltered harbors and bays. Emerald shiners are best bait for perch. Spring Trout Stocking The DEC will begin spring trout stocking this week, in preparation for the April 1 trout opener on many of the area streams. Hatchery staff will be stocking thousands of yearling brown, brook and rainbow trout in western New York. In addition, many of the popular trout streams will also receive stockings of two-year-old brown trout that are between 12-15 inches long. When stocking begins, anglers can call the Randolph Hatchery Fish Stocking Hotline at (716) 358-4950 or check the DEC’s website for weekly stocking updates.

Perch Population Is Strong By Steve Peacock Star Outdoors Writer

The nice weather has brought out loads of fishermen. Some people have told me that the fishing is good, but some others I know haven’t had the luck. Just when I was starting to think that the steelhead was about done,

Contributed Article

a friend proved me wrong with some nice fish. Another friend of mine showed me several pictures on his phone of steelhead he had recently caught. I still expect that our early spring will mean an early end to the steelhead run. So don’t wait too long if you were thinking of giving it a try. I’m really looking forward to doing

some perch fishing. Last weekend several boats were out looking for perch. The guys that I talked to didn’t do very well, but I heard some of the other boats did just fine. I guess that sounds pretty normal for perch fishing. The perch fishing should be really good this season judging by what I saw last year. Last summer you could catch at least a few perch

anywhere you dropped the anchor. While walleye fishing, our fish finder often would show schools of perch ten feet thick. When this happened we were miles away from the group of perch fishermen. Most of the people fishing for perch always go in the same area every time. I think that there are other places where the perch school up and no one ever fishes.

Chautauqua Lake is starting to produce some crappie in and around the inlets. I expect that the bite will have increased by this weekend. Also, there is a couple of days left to hunt coyotes before the season closes on March 25. Have fun out there and enjoy the weather.

Bonnies Upset Bid Comes Up Short

Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Florida State beat North Carolina twice this season. Did the same to Duke, too. The Seminoles were a trendy Final Four pick entering the NCAA tournament, and they were nearly sent home by little St. Bonaventure in their opening game. Bernard James scored 19 points and Florida State barely avoided a big upset, rallying to beat the 14th-seeded Bonnies 66-63 on Friday in a game that left the Seminoles physically and mentally spent. "That was one of the toughest games we've played all season, and that's all the credit to their team," Florida State senior Luke Loucks said. "They came out first swinging, and we really didn't hit back until about 10 minutes to go in the second half. Again, all the credit to them, we really, really had to fight to win that game." Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton cautioned against thinking his Seminoles took St. Bonaventure lightly. Not with NBA prospect Andrew Nicholson on the roster. "They were well prepared. They're loaded with talent. They executed very well," Hamilton said. "We're very fortunate to come away with the victory. They won their league. Some teams from the Atlantic 10 have done really well in the NCAA tournament." The third-seeded Seminoles (25-9) shook off a slow start and won their sixth straight game, including their run to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship last week. They will play sixth-seeded Cincinnati on Sunday in the third round of the East Regional. "We just kept saying over and over again we don't want to go home," Loucks said. "We

don't want to watch the rest of this tournament from our couches. In the midst of that, B.J. kept screaming at me, 'Get me the ball. I'm going to finish.' When a 6-foot-10 ... Air Force vet is screaming at you, you listen." James scored 11 in the second half, perhaps none bigger than his dunk off a missed fastbreak layup by Loucks that tied it at 52. The 27-year-old senior forward said he thought Loucks would lob the ball to him, so he kept running. "I chased it down and was able to dunk it," James said. "I think that was a pretty big

momentum swing for us." Nicholson scored 20 points and Demetrius Conger had 14 for St. Bonaventure (20-12), which was trying to win an NCAA tournament game for the first time since 1970. "We didn't come here to get moral victories," St. Bonaventure coach Mark Schmidt said. "We wanted to win. I am as proud of our guys as I've ever been with the team that I've coached. They've done everything we've asked. They fought. We just came up a bucket short." Florida State used a 16-2 run to take its first lead with 5:15 left on a 3-pointer by Ian

Miller. The Seminoles led as much as 60-52 on a dunk by Okaro White with 2:47 left. The Bonnies hit three 3-pointers in the final 1:43 to stay close. They had the ball down by three in the closing seconds but couldn't get a decent look from beyond the arc. Da'Quan Cook had his short jumper blocked by White, and the Seminoles ran out the clock for a huge sigh of relief. Schmidt said he wished he had one last timeout to set up the final play. "We were right there with them," Schmidt said. "There's no negatives about this game. We lost. But we gave a great

performance. I am so proud of our guys." Loucks had 13 points in Florida State's first NCAA tournament game in Nashville since 1989. The previous trip didn't end well; the Seminoles lost as a No. 4 seed to Middle Tennessee. These Seminoles are seasoned and tested. They ended Duke's 45-game home winning streak back in January, and beat the Blue Devils again on their way to winning their first ACC tournament title. "You don't win the ACC tournament with bad players and coaches," Schmidt said. For St. Bonaventure, the Bon-

nies had a vocal group of fans down from upstate New York rooting them on along with a monk in the stands. Nicholson, the senior physics major, hit his first six shots and four of five from beyond the arc. He also grabbed seven rebounds while trying to put the final piece into the rebuilding of this program that hadn't won a postseason game since the 1995 NIT. "They were fronting the post so denying the entry, and so we just had to run plays they gave me off the block," Nicholson said. "I had to step out and shoot." The Bonnies looked ready to pull off the upset after winning their first-ever Atlantic 10 tournament title, scoring the first seven points of the game, capped by a 3-pointer from Nicholson. They led by as much as 10 in the first half and 34-28 at halftime. They were up 50-44 on a layup by Chris Johnson midway through the second half until they hit a stretch where they missed eight straight shots. Then the Seminoles showed why they won 15 of 18 heading into this tournament. James proved to be more than a match inside for Nicholson. He also grabbed nine rebounds and blocked three shots. White got the final run started for Florida State with a pair of free throws, and James finished off a missed layup by Loucks with a thundering dunk off a steal by Miller. Miller hit a 3 with 5:15 left to put Florida State ahead to stay. Loucks added a 3, and White dunked to put the Seminoles up 60-52, with the Bonnies seemingly finished. Then they came back to set up the frenetic finish. Loucks helped seal the win for FSU by hitting three of his four free throws in the final 37.7 seconds.

Golf The big mismatch Hank Haney’s new book is titled “The Big Miss,” but if the goal is to tell the real story, a better title would be “The Big Mismatch.” Tiger Woods left his coach Butch Harmon for Haney for several reasons, one of which was that he had trouble hitting the high draw. The high draw is hard to hit because “high” and “draw” are antithetical; high matches up with an open face (more loft), while low matches more naturally with a closed face. It’s easy to hit a high, open-faced cut or a low closed-faced hook, but to hit it high with a draw you need a very powerful, on-plane strike, timed perfectly to a slightly closed face. So the high draw led Tiger to search for a new swing, and Haney provided a motion that was more around and with deeper hands than the steeper, more up-and-down swing that Harmon taught him. But here’s the problem: No golfer ever had a faster body than Tiger, and with hips like lightning, the deeper swing trapped the club behind him. Simply stated, fast hips and deep hands don’t match. When Tiger’s timing was perfect, he could square the club at impact, but on other occasions, Tiger was forced to flip the club with his arms and hands. Flip too much and the ball goes left; too little and it goes right. Finally, after years of off-center hits, not even Tiger’s short game could save him from this big mismatch.

Tiger hits another monster mash. Unfortunately, this game isn’t played on the driving range where, after a few balls, you can compensate for most any flaw.

Learn by example You can learn a lot by comparing the swing positions of good and not-so-good players. In the photo at left below is Ryder Cup player Boo Weekley, one of the better ball strikers on the PGA Tour. There are several things to note that are instructive: 1. Because Weekley started his downswing by transferring his weight to his left side, he simply continues the process until the weight is on the outer rim of his front foot toward the heel of his foot. Compare this to the amateur in the second photo. This golfer is on his toes, a sign that he’s had trouble shifting his weight to his left foot to start the downswing. Weight on the toes triggers the neural program for jumping, and to prevent falling over, he will snap his spine upright. 2. Note also how fully released Weekley’s core is. Boo is thick around the middle, but still makes sure to keep his midsection moving freely through the ball. Remember: The core is the drum major in the weight flow parade.

By contrast, ABOUT THE WRITER the amateur’s Dr. T.J. chest, pelvis Tomasi is a teaching and shoulders professional appear frozen. in Port St. Lucie, Fla. The only body Visit his part he used website at to hit the ball tjtomasi.com. was his arms, and that’s not good enough when you play the very difficult Champions course at PGA National as he and Boo are in these photos. 3. As part of his full body rotation, Weekley keeps his right shoulder chasing his left, assuring that he will not “run out of right arm,” an error the amateur has fallen prey to. When this young player stops his shoulder rotation and simply hits with his arms, the trail arm is also stopped, and that causes the club to wrap around the body. A few years ago, scientists discovered the mimic gene. It controls our ability to learn by copying, using a major tool — the visual system. The moral: Be careful who you watch.

At the finish, Boo Weekley’s core is fully released and his weight is on the outer rim of his front foot.

Because his core stopped rotating, this young player’s arms become wrapped around his body and he’s dancing on his toes.

Working the ball begins in the setup

To be a complete player, you should know how to control the trajectory of your ball as well as draw and fade. But even if you’re not at this level yet, understanding what causes your ball to spin left and right, stay low or fly high, will make you a better player and help you understand what’s happening in your swing when your ball flight takes on these characteristics. The concept The No. 1 rule is that you work the ball with your setup and your follow-through, not by manipulating your golf swing. First, make a mental image of your shot. Then take a practice swing that’s a perfect rehearsal, focusing on your follow-through.

General technique There are three important lines at address: First, the target line — a straight line from the target through your ball. The second is your shoulder line, a straight line connecting your shoulders. The third is the intended line of flight, a curved line that includes the line on which your ball starts its flight. The chart below is your guide to the mechanics of working the ball (it assumes a right-handed golfer). For example, to fade the ball, follow the setup positions listed on the chart below. Then with no in-swing manipulations, simply swing through to the appropriate finish position. The same holds true for the other specialty shots — the draw, the high and the low shot.

Rio-bound Jack Nicklaus and Annika Sorenstam; Greg Norman and Lorena Ochoa; Gary Player — which of these famous golfers/ designers will be chosen to design the golf course for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro? The answer: None of the above. The Olympic committee, much to everyone’s surprise, chose Hanse Golf Course Design over seven other groups. Gil Hanse will partner with LPGA great Amy Alcott to design the course. Hanse says he will relocate to the Brazilian city of Rio in order to keep an eye on the construction. With the exception of the dashing Norman, who’s still a player on the social scene, I can’t visualize Nicklaus or Player getting real in Rio. TRY THIS

Make golf fun for kids to learn

-- Not sure how to handle your budding young superstar? TRY THIS: During play, kids don’t impersonate the doctor, they are the doctor, so make sure you encourage them to “Be the golfer.” Kids should become submerged in the playing of the game vs. the swinging of the club or the perfection of the shot, or even (at the early stages) the score. Remember that it’s play, it needs to be fun, and it needs to be artistic — something they create.

WHAT SCIENCE SAYS

Old dogs have more time to learn new tricks Eric R. Kandel, M.D., is a Nobel Prize-winning medical researcher at Columbia University. His research has focused on the molecular mechanisms of memory storage. Kandel’s work is interesting because it helps explain why you may not be learning golf as fast as you would like. Here is what the good doctor said about memory/learning in a recent interview with The New York Times: “(S)hort-term memory involves transient changes of the connections between the cells. There is no anatomical change. Long-term memory involves enduring changes that result from the growth of new synaptic connections. … When you see that at the cellular level, you realize that the brain can change because of experience. It gives you a different feeling about how nature and nurture interact. They are not separate processes.” So science says that you can teach an old dog new tricks, and the reason you’re a slow bear when it comes to learning golf is that the learning never gets out of short-term memory. Even if you find the correct information, you can’t repeat it enough to move it to long-term memory because you work for a living and don’t have the time to make your new swing immortal. The nature part (IQ, coordination, etc.) is in place, but the nurture part (experience) isn’t strong enough/ long enough to push the temporary learning into the permanent file. Motor learning has an incubation period, and it must be honored. The good news is that all this work you’re doing is making you money that will allow you to retire to the golf course and the practice tee, where, with nothing to do but incubate, you will become a senior phenom. As Dr. Kandel has proven, golf’s anthem is, “You’re never too old to learn.”

Playing by feel alone is not always reliable Q: I’m an analytical type who likes to know exactly what’s going on in my swing, but I’ve been told that I should play more by feel and just swing the club. I’ve tried to do this, but it’s hard for me. What do the pros do? — Paul P., Dallas A: Let’s start with a distinction: Understanding the mechanics of your golf swing is much different from thinking about those mechanics while you swing. So-called “feel players” don’t focus on the mechanics of their swing. Rather than match a norm or model of what makes a good swing, feel players tend to adjust “how” they swing to where the ball goes. They often have unusuallooking swings that depend on good timing. Of course, we all use feel to play the game, but the best swings require the least timing. A player who understands how his swing is put together can lose the feel of the swing and still make a credible pass at the ball. The idea is to have your “A” swing as long as possible, but when it leaves (as it invariably does) and you slide to

“B,” you stay there until you work your way back to “A.” Once the feel is gone, a feel player often tumbles to “C” and then to “F,” spending much too long in the recovery phase. A golfer who understands his/her swing can troubleshoot and fix the problem much faster than a pure feel player. On tour, examples of feel players are Laura Davies, David Duval, John Daly, Bubba Watson and Greg Ogilvy — good players that exhibit long down times. Of course, there are exceptions, like Fred Couples — a unique athlete. You don’t have to understand how your car works to make it go, but once it breaks down, you’ll be on the roadside a long time unless someone arrives who knows how to fix it. So my answer to you, Paul, is to understand your swing so you can fix it, but don’t obsess about swing mechanics while you play. (To Ask the Pro a question about golf, email him at: TJInsider@aol.com.)

To coax the ball though a tight gap in the trees or between the bunkers.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“Today I talked about so many different things with my caddie. He’s like, ‘Are you even focused on golf?’ It’s like, ‘Not really.’” — Sounds like an 11-year-old in his first tournament, but it’s Bubba Watson, during his second-round 62 at Doral’s Blue Monster (which is so easy nowadays it should be renamed The Blue Puppy Dog).

Going ‘Mad’

AMC series finally returns after lengthy hiatus By Christina Davies TV Media

fter nearly a year and a half, fans of Don Draper finally get to tune back into the advertising antics on AMC’s “Mad Men,” when the series hits the air for its fifth season on Sunday, March 25. The cable network’s first original series was on hiatus following its fourth season while showrunner Matthew Weiner went up against network and studio executives to fight a tough contract renegotiation battle — a battle, Weiner told the New York Times, he feared the show might not win. “I quit,” Weiner told Times reporter David Itzkoff. “I had come to terms with the fact that it was over. And then they compromised, and I compromised. A little.”

At issue during the renegotiation standoff that had fans holding their breath all this time was mainly the show’s cast size and running time, both of which execs wanted to reduce in order to cut costs. “We got this far this way,” Weiner said. “Why would you change the brand? It reeked of New Coke to me.” Speaking of brands, the polished “Mad Men” aesthetic that has become so admired by fans has not been lost on a few major brands that have decided to capitalize on it (a move that would almost certainly be praised by the ardent capitalists who fill the Madison Avenue offices on the show). In the summer of 2010, Mattel released a line of collectible “Mad Men” Barbie dolls, featuring Don, Betty, Joan and agency partner Roger Sterling (played on

the show by war-movie veteran John Slattery). Banana Republic has teamed up with the show’s Emmy Award-winning costume designer Janie Bryant again to produce a second line of ‘”Mad Men”-inspired work wear that was just released with the brand’s spring collection. The first line was released for Banana Republic’s 2011 fall collection. And what would a fashionable woman of the times wear with her floral house dress — besides the fauxpearl necklace of course — but lipstick and rouge from the Estée Lauder limited edition “Mad Men” collection? It isn’t only big business that has recognized the series’ strengths, however. “Mad Men” is historically significant for not only being the first cable series to win an Emmy for outstanding drama, but it’s also the only cable series to win that title and the Golden Globe for best dramatic television series for three consecutive years. In a two-hour season premiere, viewers will at last be able to sit down with their Rob Roys or highball glasses of Canadian Club and catch up on the ‘60s-set world of advertising, the social change that came with the times and the personal changes that each of the characters were going through when the series left off in October 2010.

Researchers discover new evidence of ancient disappearance By Dee Wright TV Media

he ruins of the Mayan civilization have become one of the most popular tourist attractions in Mexico. The former citystates boast hidden chambers, cryptic carvings and sky-high staircases that lead to simplistic homes. The remains of these cities have been combed over for hundreds of years, as researchers and archeologists try to piece together the lives of the civilization. Whenever an answer was found, however, more questions arose. On Wednesday, March 28, PBS follows a group of students and their professor as they investigate their newest discovery. Though Mayan tribes still live along the coasts of Mexico and parts of Central America, there have been many legends of the “Mayan collapse” that took place around 800 BC. Archeologists have found proof of several cities that had been abandoned, and they struggled to find any explanation for it. Homes were left standing, crops were left half-harvested, and all progress seemed to have ceased. There was no evidence of war or invasion, no indication of illness and little information on why they left. The PBS documentary follows George Bey and his students from Millsaps College in Jackson, Miss., as they discuss their newest research about the mystery. In an interview with USA Today, Bey revealed that the Mayans fled their Kiuic (pronounced kee-week) city quite quickly. “Things were going full bore, construction was underway. And things stopped,” he said. Bey and his colleagues have

The reserve was bought in the 1990s, and through it, the college created a nonprofit organization that maintains the reserve and its workers.

The documentary was premiered in February at the college, and because of the positive feedback from that screening, PBS has become quite optimistic about airing it. The network projects more than 4.5 million people will tune in to learn about the Mayan research. The Tokyo Broadcasting System filmed a similar documentary at the same time, and it received amazing reviews as well.

StarsonScreen By Sheila Busteed TV Media COMEDY IN PRINT: Comedy

Central is expanding its big, funny empire into the publishing world, and it has chosen the perfect star to write its inaugural publication: Denis Leary. The controversial comedian and actor is bouncing back mere months after his hit FX series “Rescue Me” ended its seven-season run by revisiting his holiday-themed humor. The network has partnered with Running Press and they will release Leary’s new novelty book in October. The “funny Christmas book,” as Leary called it, is based on the Comedy Central holiday special, “Merry F#%$in’ Christmas,” which first aired in 2005 and featured appearances by Charlie Murphy, Carmen Electra, William Shatner and the Barenaked Ladies. “Success today means reaching our fans on all different platforms. This publishing relationship is another example of the kind of extension that keeps Comedy Central the No. 1 brand in comedy,” said Comedy Central president Michele Ganeless. Running Press publisher Christopher Navratil added that working with Comedy Central is a “perfect fit” for the publishing house, which is a member of the Perseus Books Group. “Humor is one of our core categories and being able to tap into Comedy Central’s talent and marketing will offer us a fantastic op-

portunity to publish a wide variety of branded titles in multiple platforms,” he said. The release of Leary’s upcoming book will be linked to a new TV special that will air on the network in the fall. The partners have yet to release details about additional future publications; however, these releases are likely to encompass new material from Comedy Central’s roster of established and developing comedians, as well as projects linked to various series and franchises. Leary’s fans can also look forward to his return to voice work when “Ice Age: Continental Drift” hits theaters later this year. COCO’S DIGITAL TRIUMPH: Conan

O‘Brien’s career has withstood the “To-

night Show” debacle and was revived by TBS through his new show “Conan.” Now, the popular comedian is pushing the genre of late-night variety shows into the future. TBS and AT&T have joined forces to give “Conan” viewers what is being dubbed the first real-time tablet application for late-night television. The Team Coco tablet app utilizes Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) technology to deliver exclusive content to fans that is synchronized to each episode. Available on iOS and Android platforms, the app is currently available for free through the iTunes and Android app stores. “‘Conan’ draws the youngest and most digitally connected audience in late

night, so it makes perfect sense that Team Coco is the first in late-night television to create a synchronized app for fans,” said TBS’s Dennis Adamovich. “With this new app, Team Coco is transforming ‘Conan’ into an immersive, interactive experience that can be enjoyed whenever you want.” Unlike some apps, which launch with minimal available content and gradually expand as they grow in popularity, the Team Coco app launched with an impressive initial offering. Each episode has up to 25 pieces of bonus content, including video clips, live billboard comments, photos, biographical information about

the show’s guests, polls, quizzes, trivia, a list of memorable quotes and feeds from the show’s Facebook and Twitter pages. The show’s contract was recently extended by TBS through to April 2014, so viewers should expect that the Team Coco app will continue to play a vital role in the show’s development and its relationship with its devoted fans. O’Brien already has a huge online presence, with more than five million Twitter followers and nearly two million fans of his Team Coco Facebook page. Also, in 2011, videos posted on TeamCoco.com and YouTube were viewed about 83 million times.

Revamped Marlins hope to have better luck By Joel Duplessis TV Media

t’s amazing what a difference a year can make – just ask fans of the Miami Marlins. Heading into opening day of the 2012 baseball season, the Miami Marlins are a team with lofty expectations and a fanbase eager to get behind their revamped ballclub. Last season, the Florida Marlins concluded a disappointing chapter in the franchise’s history. Now with a new name, a new stadium, a new manager and a reloaded roster of off-season acquisitions, the Miami Marlins are suddenly a contender in the crowded NL East. The Marlins made a splash in the free-agent waters in the offseason -- they picked up a dominant closer in Heath Bell, a front of the rotation arm in Mark Buehrle and a lead-off hitting shortstop in José Reyes. Also acquired were pitchers Carlos Zambrano and Wade Leblanc as well as the outspoken bench boss, Ozzie Guillen. The key to the Marlins season will be the starting rotation, which, on paper, is one of the best in the National League. Ace Josh Johnson had an incredible 2011 and will again be the anchor of the Marlins pitching staff. Last year, Johnson posted a 16-6 record with a 2.95 ERA and 205 strikeouts in 205 innings. Buehrle gives the Marlins an excellent No. 2 option, and, based on his career domination of the National League (24-6, 3.32 ERA in 39 starts), he’s projected to have a booming season. The rest of the rotation rounds out with Ricky Nolasco, Anibal Sanchez and Zambrano. The Marlins should be able to score plenty of runs with Reyes leading off a strong batting lineup. Hanley Ramirez has had his struggles over the past two seasons, but he’s in great shape this spring and many expect him to regain his 2009 dominance. 7:30 p.m.
