Early Plant Growth Threatened By Temperature Drops By Patricia Pihl Star News Writer

Experts say ten days of above average temperatures in March may pose a danger to area plants, threatening early bud break for perennial crops, vines and trees. The risk of snow, freezing temperatures, and frost could “significantly damage newly emerged buds resulting in poor fruit set,” according to Virginia Carlsburg, Community Educator, at Cornell Cooperative Extension in Jamestown. “Perennial crops are more at danger, such as the grapes, strawberries, and any tree fruit which is more difficult to protect from frost and cold snaps. Obviously, if yield is decreased or the crop is lost, the price may increase or farms will have much less to sell.” Carlsburg adds that there are many other factors which affect produce amounts and quality including the amount of rain - either too much or too little - during the summer months. “When planting annuals, she said, vegetable farms usually can take special precautions, as there are techniques used by farmers to keep those crops planted early from frost. Dr. Jodi Creasap Gee, Vinticulture Extension Educator at The Lake Erie Grape Program says that some protection is offered to grapes grown next to Lake Erie, because of the warmer air coming off the water. However, she says that many of the

growers are concerned about the warmer temperatures, considering the last average frost date is May 5. “We have a long way to go before consistent warmer weather.” Creasap Gee uses the EichornLorenz Chart which shows various stages in the grape development. Currently, buds are in what is called the pink stage, somewhere between stage two and three where buds expand inside the bud scales or may have what’s called “doeskin” or brownish scale skin visible. In those cases, buds are still mostly closed, and the plant is safe as long as the temperature doesn’t dip below 27 degrees Farenheit. Potential danger

arises if there is another period of warmth and the buds are pushed into a further growth, and the temperature drops again, in which case, she says, damage could result. “Sometimes grape buds experience a frost which doesn’t appear to damage the plant and the fruit still grows.” In years when that has happened there may still be a reduced fruit development, she says. Creasap Gee said there are a few area growers that use wind machines to protect against frost damage. The machines work by turning on when the temperature dips, drawing hotter air in the atmosphere down and mixing it with colder air closer to the

vine, thus moderating the temperature. Creasap Gee said the machines are used to protect the more delicate and highly valuable Vitis vinefera cultivars, used for making such wines as Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Sauvignon. Other factors which protect against vineyard frost is a location which allows good air flow, and where vineyards are not blocked by buildings, vegetation or trees.

The last time I saw Lisa Proper she was smiling and saying how she couldn’t wait to come back to class. Our “class” was kickboxing and I remember her as a formidable sparring opponent. At the time, she was expecting her third child and said she’d be back in four weeks. During class weeks later, I saw her husband Joe, and asked if Lisa had her baby. He simply said, “Yes.” Joking, I said, “Well, where is she? She said she would be back in four weeks?” Later, I learned that Lisa had died giving birth to her daughter, Lily Ray. As one might imagine after such a social misstep, there was embarrassment; but the more palpable emotions were disbelief and grief. Last week I saw a poster advertising the benefit for Lisa’s family. As I followed up on the details I was amazed at the number of people involved in coordinating the event and the number of sponsors. Longtime friend Cheryl Calhoun, put together a collection of her thoughts on Lisa. Here are some excerpts: “She was very spontaneous, in a moment’s notice she would come and pick me up and tell me what our plans were for the day...for instance one day she signed us all up to go whitewater rafting, one time she came over and said pack your bags we’re going to Cape Cod for the weekend.” Her character is further revealed in this comment: “Lisa lived her life to the fullest and

Lisa (Green) Proper pictured with her husband Joe and daughters Chelsie Jo and Whitney. Two weeks before Christmas of 2011, Lisa died during the birth of her baby, Lily Fay.

I mean that full heartedly.... she was a nurse and worked around death all the time; she used to tell me that you have to live your life to the fullest and do everything you can now because you are never promised a tomorrow.” “She didn’t care about having the best looking car or the nicest house on the block... what mattered to her was her family and friends and making memories with them.” Lisa, a Jamestown-area resident, spent several years of her life raising funds and awareness for breast cancer. She founded Hula Hooters of Jamestown, a group that raises money for breast cancer research. She also completed several Susan G. Komen 60

mile walks in Cleveland, hand in hand with her daughter. “She always wanted three children.” Her friend adds that Lisa and her husband decided to try for one more and she was so excited when she found out she was pregnant on Mother’s Day in 2011.” “Lisa was one of a kind, one in a trillion,” enthused Cheryl. On Saturday, March 31 a benefit is planned for Lisa’s family at Frewsburg Fire Hall’s Blue Building on Hazzard Street from 1p.m. to 10 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children under the age of ten and are available by calling Cheryl Calhoun at 716-4999676. Donations may also be mailed to Cheryl at 49 Hickory Street, Jamestown, NY 14701.

The Chautauqua County Department of Health announces a free rabies vaccination clinic to be held on Thursday, March 29, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the City Garage, Lucas Avenue in Dunkirk. The clinic is sponsored by the Chautauqua County Health Department with Dr. Joseph Powell as the attending veterinarian. Health Department staff will be assisting with the clinic and will be providing information on a variety of health topics. Vaccinations will be provided free of charge to all dogs, cats and domesticated ferrets three (3) months of age and older. Please know that all pets must be on a leash or in a cage; and you should bring rabies vaccination records for each animal that will be receiving a shot. It is helpful for the veterinarian to know the previous immunization status of each animal to ensure proper and effective vaccination.

SP New York State law requires each dog, cat and domesticated ferret over the age of four months be vaccinated against rabies. County residents are encouraged to be responsible pet owners by having pets vaccinated. Rabies is a very serious disease of warm-blooded animals caused by a virus. Raccoons, bats, skunks and foxes are the common disease carriers. The virus is transmitted to humans and animals through saliva. It can enter the body from a bite, scratch, scrape or open

Rather than take the risk of planting early, Cornel Cooperative Extension recommends home gardeners start to prepare their gardens by tilling, building raised beds, and starting weed control. Gardeners may also build “cold frames” to grow plants under glass, thereby give them an earlier start. In addition, gardeners may take advantage of drier soils to submit soil samples to be tested, “We are receiving many phone calls from home

‘Reaching, Teaching and Releasing,’ has always been the motto of Family Church of Chautauqua County (formerly Bible Christian Fellowship). Located in Fredonia, the vision of senior pastor Rev. Michael Lokietek has always been to plant churches and teach those people in the entire region about Jesus. After successfully starting Family Church of the Southern Tier, Rev. Lokietek kept his sights on expansion. In 2010, two new churches began- one in South Dayton (Family Church of Cattaraugus County) and one in Warren. “We’ve got a job to do,” said Rev. Lokietek. “We want to tell people about Jesus; and we want to reach this whole region.” And that’s just what they’re doing. Starbrick Family Church, located between Warren, Pa. and Youngsville, Pa., has been operating out of the Warren Holiday Inn since September 2010. Rev. Rita Beatty. After several months

of renovations and updates, Rev. Beatty and the Starbrick Family Church are ready to open their doors to the people of Warren County. “It’s been a lot of work- but it’s all paid off,” said Rev. Beatty. “We’re so excited to bring new life to this older church and to be in this building.” Starbrick Family Church’s first service in the picturesque red church will be Sunday, April 1 at 10:00 a.m. But, Rev. Beatty, along with a growing congregation, have their eyes on Easter Sunday as the breakout service. “There are so many great churches in Warren,” said Rev. Beatty. “I’m happy that we can join a wonderful team of pastors in the area to tell people about Jesus. When better to begin meeting in the new building than on Easter?”

Rev. Beatty and a team of workers from the Fredonia church have been working tirelessly since November to make the old building a modern place of worship. But, it hasn’t lost its classic feel. “The church was built in 1888, so there is a lot of history in it,” said Rev. Beatty. “We’re all so happy that it can be used as a church again.” If you’re in the Warren area and looking for a church to call home, or just want to check out the new church, head over to Starbrick Family Church. Located at the corner of Route 6 and Mason Rd., the new Family Church is open to visitors of all denominations and backgrounds.

Dear Pastor, why is the resurrection of Jesus so important

By Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church of Chautauqua County

? With the celebration of Easter just around the corner, your question is very timely. While most people spend great effort to honor the birth of Jesus Christ, it is the Resurrection of Jesus Christ that is truly the most important event for all of mankind. Without the Resurrection, there would be no Christian-

ity! Without the Resurrection, all creation would be forever separated from God’s presence and could not enter into Heaven. The Bible says that when man disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden, the whole world became subject to sin (Romans 5:12). The Bible tells us that sin disqualifies us from entering into God presence (Romans 3:23). God, not willing to loose the relationship with His beloved creation, promised He would send a Redeemer to resolve the problem of sin (Genesis 3:15). This would allow for reuniting with His creation. If you examine the Bible, you’ll see that God promises to answer the need for the justification (to clear the debt) of mankind’s sinful state from the creation, throughout the miraculous conception of the Lord Jesus Christ. The birth of the Jesus was the initiation of

God’s promise. Jesus lived a sinless life to qualify as the perfect sacrifice in God’s plan. Amazingly, when Jesus hung on the cross and His sinless blood poured out (Hebrews 9:14), He took upon Himself the penalty for every sin of mankind (2 Corinthians 5:17-21). This included every sin from man’s first sin in the Garden of Eden to the last sin that will ever be committed just before the end of the world. At His death, Jesus suffered the full judgment of the world’s sins in our place (Matthew 12:40, Psalm 22). Even with His suffering and death, the plan for our redemption had not yet been fulfilled. It was only when Jesus Christ rose from the dead in order to reveal the truth of God’s power that divine justice was served and the Lord’s sacrifice met the conditions for the eternal redemption of mankind. The Resurrection is the fulfillment of God’s promise for redemption. It restores the opportunity of reunion with the Father, gives us power over sin (Romans 8:2), and allows for an eternal, everlasting life in His presence (1 John 2:25). It is for this reason that Easter should be celebrated as the greatest single event in history.

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church of the Southern Tier

As a pastor, I often meet with Christians who are in the midst or troubling circumstances. Often they are confused by the presence of trouble. They say, “But I’ve been faithful, and I do everything I know to do and yet I still get tested.” Our redemption was not a cheap thing. Faith is not the absence of troubles; it’s how we handle them. 2 Timothy 2:3-6 says, “Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs-he wants to please his commanding officer.” (NIV) The Bible is comparing our Christian lives to that of a soldier. Verse 7 goes on to say, “Reflect on what I am saying…” So the Bible instructs us to consider

the mentality of a soldier in handling circumstances. A soldier is not a civilian. The first thing that happens to a new soldier is that he is stripped of all signs of civilian life. His hair gets shaved, he is given several inoculations, and he is given a new uniform. Upon receiving Christ, our sins are removed and we are given a measure of the Holy Spirit. The old life dies and we enter into service for God. A soldier will look at his new uniform and realize it wasn’t made for comfort. He will realize that the uniform he now wears will make him a target. His life will be consumed by what he has pledged to defend. Loyalty is now a matter of survival. If he deserts his company and tries to rejoin his former life, he will get hurt. It is the same thing for believers: The trials you are facing are trying to get you to sever your loyalty to Christ and to return to your former life. Loyalty is now a requirement if you are going to stay under the protection of His army. A soldier doesn’t enter the battlefield and get surprised by bullets being fired at him. He understands the battlefield dynamic. A soldier doesn’t feel like a victim. He doesn’t get his feelings hurt because people are out to hurt him. A

soldier doesn’t take a time out from battle because somebody insulted them. He doesn’t stand up and say, “Time out! Stop the shooting, somebody has hurt my feelings and I need some time to recover.” The enemy doesn’t stop firing their guns because you have hurt feelings. Strap on your boots, pull them on tight, and let’s go! Soldiers don’t always get an apology before they move on. And neither will we. I can’t remember the last time I asked for an apology. I simply forgave the person before they had the chance. That’s what God did: He forgave us before we asked His forgiveness. A soldier doesn’t expect ground to be given to him; He takes ground. In the same way, don’t expect the blessings of God to fall on you like ripe fruit off a tree. You have to take it, believe it, and say it. A soldier is somebody who survives on his training. Proper Bible training is life or death for Christians. Soldiers are formed by their habits. And so are Christians. People struggle because of their lack of good spiritual habits. So don’t be surprised when you face trials. Soldiers didn’t join the military thinking they were going to Club Med.

Documentary to be Shown

Tech Training 101

“Roll ’O Bowl Speedway” at Watts Flats United Methodist Church Contributed Article Watts Flats United Methodist Church

Gregory L. Peterson, Esq. will narrate the documentary film on the vintage dirt track located on the Button Valley Road between Watts Flat and Panama N.Y. The film and narration will take place March 30 at 6:00 pm at the Watts Flats United Methodist Church, Watts Flats, NY. Film and buffet dinner is free and

open to the public. Donations, benefiting the church, will be accepted. Roll-O-Bowl is a documentary film produced under the auspices of the Harmony Historical Society that records the history of Roll-O-Bowl Speedway, a jalopy track located between communities of Watts Flats and Panama in Western New York State that operated from 1956-1960.

The video includes interviews of many former drivers such as well-known dirt late model racers Skip Furlow, Ron Blackmer, Jim Scott, and Johnny Whitehead, who got their start at Roll-O-Bowl, and the former track owner, Don McNitt. The dvd contains actual race footage that offers a unique look at grass roots racing from 50 years ago when racing, and life in general, was a lot simpler.

An Intro to the computing world

By Scott Wise Editor

The world is slowly but surely digitizing with each passing day. In an effort to bring everyone up to speed on all things technological, we are beginning a weekly column called ‘Tech Training 101’ where the Chautauqua Star’s own Scott Wise will guide readers through the basics of computing. Lesson 1: Computer Basics I had a hard time deciding where to start this column. Typically, I find myself concerned more with the ‘why’s’ and ‘how’s’ of technology, so I figured that would be the best place to start- what is a computer and how does it work. (I doubt we’ll get this accomplished in one week). First; a brief history. Programming, or the ability of a machine to handle a pre-decided task on its own, finds it roots back to the first century when a Greek mathematician used a system of ropes and pulleys to set a mechanism to play music without intervention for ten minutes. Computing as we know it today stem from Alan Turig.

In 1936, he used the concepts of algorithms (step-by-step procedure for calculations) and computations to create the ‘Turig Machine,’ born from the basics of all modern computers. Today, computers are one of the most common devices in the American household, and across the globe. The advance of the Internet (we’ll save that for another week) has caused computers to be considered nearly a necessity. In computing, there are two corporately produced (and therefore all we’ll be talking about here) operating systems. Microsoft’s Windows and Apple’s Mac OS. Both vary greatly, but in the end both are great ways for people to access computing and all that it has to offer. If you’re looking at purchasing your first computer, here are some basics you’ll want to know. First, the hard drive. A hard drive is where information is stored and accessed. Modern day hard drives vary in size, but generally range from 60 gigabytes to 100 gigabytes. Side note- a ‘bit’ consists of information for a computer to process. As computing needs have grown, the size of

programs and hard drives has grown as well. There are eight bits in a byte, 1024 bytes in a kilobyte, 1024 kilobytes in a megabyte, 1024 megabytes in a gigabyte, 1024 gigabytes in a terabyte, and so on. A computer will also need RAM, or Random Access Memory, to function. RAM is where information is temporarily stored for an individual program to access as needed. Unlike the hard drive, RAM comes in much smaller quantities, as it is only needed for a fleeting moment. It operates much faster than the hard drive. The amount of RAM in a computer is directly related to the speed of that computer. More RAM typically equals a faster computer. We’ll spend next week talking about processors. Understanding how a computer works is important to understand how you can use it- and why it may not be able to do what you want it to. If you have a tech question you want Scott to answer, write to scott.wise@maytumcompany.com. Check back next week for the next edition of Tech Training 101.

Community Star

Carol McCormick By Mallory Diefenbach Star News Writer

“Lorraine left Dylan on a wintry night after he’d spent one too many nights out with the guys. Unable to cope with the loss, Dylan escapes the painful feelings by drinking them away. This decision costs him a year-and-a-half of his life after he stops in a little mountain town and ends up in the local jail. When he’s released, he returns home in search of a job to get his life, and his wife, back.” This is the summary of Carol McCormick’s novel, The Missing Piece, which recently made the Christian bestseller list for the Kindle. It is a tale of love, hope and redemption. The Missing Piece originally started out as a three page writing assignment for a creative writing course at JCC. Over the years, it slowly grew move involved. “It took me about five years to write it because I wasn’t serious about writing it,” Carol McCormick, the author of The Missing Piece, said. In 2003, McCormick self published the book. After

fixing errors which people pointed out to her, she really didn’t do much with the book afterwards. That was until she started to hear about the Kindle. “I didn’t think much about it [at first],” McCormick admitted. “Then I thought, ‘oh I’m going to try it’.” McCormick spent two months, five hours a day revising the book: editing it, expanding it and adding new themes. After two months, she finally put it on the Kindle as well as a children’s book she had written. Both did alright for awhile and the children’s book was on the lesser best seller list. After she signed up for the Prime Membership she was able to put her books up for free for a couple of days to promote it. “After I put them on for free, it shot it up there [to the best seller] so it was more visible,” McCormick said. “The children’s book actually shot up on the same list to number two, and stayed there for a few days. But the novel The Missing Piece is actually on the religious Christian best seller list [and] shot up to number seven last night [March 12].”

Since that time, The Missing Piece has reached as high as number five on Amazon’s Religious Romance bestseller list at one point. McCormick was excited when her novel reached the best sellers list, although she was more excited when it was first published. “I was actually more excited back then because I had no idea where it was going to go,”

McCormick said. “For being a self published book, it was like ‘somebody likes this.’ So, I had a little background that people liked it.” McCormick started to write to write 15-20 years ago. “My grandmother had typed up a very crude autobiography of her childhood, and she grew up in early 1900,” McCormick said. “And the thought of her stories were

so fascinating to hear; here’s my 80 year old grandmother talking about pulling pranks and drinking out of Candalake Creek because it was so clear... So, I started writing down my own stories for my kids because I thought, ‘you know, my life is so different even now compared to what they know’.” McCormick wanted to share with her children stories of her childhood just like her grandmother shared her childhood with McCormick. God has played a major role in McCormick’s life and her writing. “He [God] actually is the sole basis of both of them [The Missing Piece and the children’s book],” McCormick said. “Especially in the novel its woven throughout. I actually prayed as I wrote parts of it. I had people tell me that they were so moved by it after they read it they cried; they said they could feel what he felt in his struggle.” McCormick is currently writing a book on health and wholeness. Not only will the book focus on health and wholeness, but it will factor on why people have trouble

losing weight. For those who wish to become authors themselves, McCormick says a passion for writing is needed and to just keep at it. “You just don’t sit down and say ‘I’m going to write a book today’,” McCormick said. “I literally have envelopes stuffed full of post it notes that I have written through the years. What I do is whenever I have an idea, no matter where it is, I write it down. On a scrap of paper. On post it notes. Whatever.” Afterwards, she sorts the ideas into book and chapters until it becomes a rough outline. But no matter where a person is, if an idea for a book comes it should be written down. The English classes she took while at JCC also helped McCormick hone her writing skills. You can buy McCormick’s novel The Missing Piece on the Kindle for $2.99. For those who don’t have a Kindle, it is available on Amazon for $11.98 on paperback.

Spring Cleaning

Exercise and Diet Advice to Feel Good this Season

YWCA News

By Katie Smith By Morgan Stewart

Contributing Writer

Star News Writer

As Western New Yorkers know all too well, the transition from the seemingly endless Chautauqua winter into the balmy weather of spring is a prolonged gradation that doesn’t allow for shorts and flip-flops until nearly May. That is, until the meteorological roller coaster that has been this year’s March. With 60-degree weather thrust upon us weeks earlier than usual, we find ourselves in the realm of short sleeves and bare legs while, to the dismay of many, still toting (ahem) hefty winter bodies. Fortunately, the region’s wealth of body gurus has some tips on getting back in shape, within the gym or otherwise. “Most people have a hard time with weight gain after the holidays. Then summer starts coming, the weather starts getting better, and they start to think about putting on shorts and [discover] the body is not as toned or as thin as they would like it to be,” said Catherine Pratt, manager and aerobics instructor at Darwin’s Health Club in Fredonia. In lieu of the premature summer it’s all too tempting to set lofty weight loss goals or drastically cut calories, but Chuck Jamclier, a trainer at one of Jamestown’s two Snap Fitness gyms, warns that “What I see [gym] members do is hop on the treadmill, run 30 minutes but then don’t stick with it. I“lI try to explain to people that it takes time to gain, so it takes time to lose; there’s no quick fix.” Likewise, Pratt says that at Darwin’s “We do not recommend people go on a diet, because being on a diet means they’ll eventually go off the diet. We strongly recommend that people make changes in their lifestyle, whether it’s eating or exercise-- changes that they can adapt to and live with.” Jamclier and Pratt suggest a building a regimen over a gradual period of time that balances cardiovascular exer-

cise (jogging, bike-riding) and strength training (calisthenics, weightlifting or even the push-ups and crunches of high school gym class forgotten) for maximum results. “Any kind of physical activity will burn calories. There’s a lot of research that shows that in order to get the health benefits from exercise, it works just as well if you spread it out throughout the day,” said Jamclier. Those with concerns about putting stress on the body (namely, the joints) should have no trepidation; according to Jamclier and Pratt, there’s a workout out there for everyone. “In the 22 years that I have been with Darwin’s, I cannot think of a single person we couldn’t give some exercises to, no matter how old they were or what their size was. We have hydro-fitness, which is a great non-stress strengthening exercise, we have recumbent bikes, which are nice because [older riders] can sit back on them. There’s always something everyone can do.” Jamclier agrees that age doesn’t have to impede exercise: “[Seniors] will need to warm up a little bit more and start a bit slower, but they can slowly build up to a fairly intense workout and get a lot of major benefits.” Of course, there’s more to getting in shape than physical activity. A well-balanced diet and proper hydration are necessary for good health at any time of the year, not only in terms of weight loss but in order to build the immune system and to combat the illnesses to which we seem to fall particularly susceptible as the seasons change. “If you don’t eat within 45 minutes of waking up, your stomach will start to grumble;

your blood sugar levels are spiking and falling. When it falls, your body starts feeding off its muscle mass,” said Tami Peterson, owner of Thrive Nutrition in Fredonia. She recommends eating lean protein like that found in yogurt or nuts soon after rising, and continuing to consume sensible portions of such roughly every three hours. To complement a balanced meal, consider replacing sodas and coffee with tea this season: “Green tea and black tea boost your metabolism. Green tea also has antioxidants,” said Peterson. For sufferers of allergies and barometric pressure headaches exacerbated by this year’s unpredictable temperature flux, “An aloe plant has 75 healing agents, so-- the same way as it soothes when you burn yourself-- it helps to soothe allergies as well,” said Peterson. “And it’s good for your digestive system. Take care of your digestive system and it will help to aid everything else.” So, readers, perhaps time should be taken to extend the annual spring cleaning to our bodies, as well. Getting and staying healthy can be a challenge, but the Chautauqua Star is here to help you through it: beginning with this issue, we’ll now be offering a regular page promoting health. Whether it be of physical, mental or financial concern, tips from the county’s most health-conscious will be provided to help you feel your best. Until next week-- go dig out those dust-coated gym shoes, and make the most of this unexpectedly pleasant weather.

WOMEN’S SECTION Dressing Well- On a Budget By Mallory Diefenbach Star News Writer

Women like to look good. They put a lot of effort into maintaining their image. From styling their hair and making sure it’s just right to applying the right amount of make-up, which can range anywhere from next to nothing to smoky seductress, a lot of work is done to look nice. But one of the most exhausting things for a woman to consider is the wardrobe. Many women like to keep up

to date on what is fashionable and an eye on the latest trend. However, what is fashionable isn’t always within the spending budget. And with today’s economy, that budget just grows smaller. But that doesn’t mean a woman can’t look good. So, here are some tips on how to keep trendy on a budget: 1) You don’t need to buy the designer brands. Designer brands are expensive. They may offer lots of quality and prestige, but some people may not be able, or willing, to pay the price they

ask for. In cases like these, it is better to buy the “bargain brands” of clothing. It’s like choosing between Oreos and Twistos at the grocery store. Both are the same chocolate cookie with cream filling that we all know and love. One is simply the store brand and cheaper. While buying the brand name is nice sometimes, there is nothing wrong with buying the store brand. Plus, you can get more for your money! 2) Look out for sales. Who doesn’t like a good sale? Seriously. If you can’t afford

a particular piece of clothing you want, your best bet is to wait for it to go on sale. It’s an awesome feeling walking out of the store paying less than what it is normally marked as. 3) Use coupons. Cutting out coupons is a pain in the butt. No question about that. But any savvy shopper can tell you that using coupons can add up, making it worth it in the end. Stores like the Bon Ton and Kohl’s have coupons all the time. Plus, if you can combine them with sales, you can double the savings!

4) Go on a treasure hunt. You don’t need to go just to your local clothing store to find something fashionable. Stores such as Wal-Mart, Target, K-Mart, etc. have nice clothes for cheap. Same with thrift stores. All you need to do is take the time to look. 5) Shop online. For clothing, this might not be the best advice due to size differences among brands. However, when it comes to things likes shoes and the like, it wouldn’t hurt to take a peek online. Shoe sizes are pretty

constant across the board, so all you need to do is look for a shoe style you like in your size. There are ton more fashion tips which can be found if you look online. Sites such as thebudgetbabe.com are great for those who enjoy keeping up with the hottest trends, but aren’t so wild about the prices. You don’t need to spend money to be thrifty.

The Pauper 2012 By Dusten Rader Entertainment Editor

Mayville’s County Grill has seen many restaurants come through and many of them don’t stay for very long. However, the owners of The Pauper made it through the winter and are now starting their second year in Chautauqua County. Owners Jeremy Talbott and his wife Rachel Smith met while studying Culinary Arts and combined their talents to start a business together. Rachel, who grew up in Panama, N.Y. decided to come home last year to start The Pauper with Jeremy. The restaurant was met with a good reception and the duo are now looking forward to another good summer on the lake. “We’re excited for the summer,” said Rachel. “It seems to be starting early and we hope that’s true so things pick up quick. We want to have a summer full of fun, food and lots of people.” The team both have their specialties and qualities that compliment each other. Jeremy focuses on soups, sauces and stocks while Rachel is a bit more well rounded. She does all of the baking, desserts and catering. Rachel has always wanted to cater. So, she is currently working on making her services available for any event either in house or off premises. There is no set catering menu for customers to choose from. Rachel personally meets with each customer to help design the perfect meal. An example of perfection on the menu is the Pork Chop. Rachel holds the recipe very close to her heart. The dish includes a 12 ounce sauteed Prime Pork Chop stuffed with wild mushrooms, accompanied by fingerling potatoes and warm apple pear compote. Jeremy’s love of and talent for making soup led him to create his special recipe for asparagus, broccoli cheddar soup. But, soups aren’t his only specialty. One of Jeremy’s favorites on the menu is the North and South Fried Chicken that includes Maple flavored breading on a half chicken, fried until crispy, served on top of a Cajun spiced Belgium

waffle with roasted brussel sprouts and Grandpa’s Maple syrup. A customer favorite is the English Style Fish and Chips that includes a 12 ounce Harbor Banks Haddock in an Irish Lager batter, deep fried and served with country fair style french fries. “People really enjoy those three dishes so we decided to keep them on the menu,” said Jeremy. “Especially because they are our top three sellers on any given week.” But, the classics aren’t the only thing worth trying. There are also a number of specials almost every day that are verbally communicated to the customers. One example is the Gyro that has been well

received and may be added to the menu. There will also be a few dishes added to the menu around June. These new additions include Rachel’s scallop dish with a raspberry reduction, fried goat cheese patty, crab meat and candied pecans and Jeremy’s seafood stew with mussels, clams, scallops, shrimp and fish. There will also be a fresh fish featured every one or two weeks depending what is in season.

“The scallop dish was something I created while in culinary school and mastered while at Olive’s,” said Rachel. “Customers there really enjoyed it and I know they won’t be serving it this year so I decided to bring my baby home. Plus, it gives people an opportunity to try something they haven’t tried before. But, it is also something that a lot of people recognize and know that when it is done well it tastes really good.”

Another addition to the menu includes a Pat LaFrieda (lafrieda.com) burger. LaFrieda is a meat purveyor out of NYC that has a specialty cut that is a mix between Angus and short ribs. Instead of being ground it is chopped which results in a steak like experience. “Its been voted NYC’s best tasting burger for a couple years now,” said Jeremy. “We decided on it because we had Kobe burgers and the quality dropped so we started looking at other options. We wanted a really nice higher end burger and I think we found it.” There will also be a few changes to the lunch menu making it easier to stop in for a quick bite at an affordable

7 price. Some of the changes include smaller portions of dinner entrees and the addition of some fresh wraps and sandwiches. The Pauper has also started featuring local beer and wine from Southern Tier Brewing Company and Mazza Cellars. Jeremy and Rachel hope to host a few pairing dinners throughout the summer that feature special dishes that are complimented by a specific drink. The two also believe it’s important to provide the freshest ingredients possible from local producers. So, a few vendors they purchase from are Brigotta’s, Just Kiddin’ Around Farm and Green Heron Growers. Jeremy and Rachel have tried to make the experience of dining at The Pauper one where customers feel comfortable in a high class atmosphere. One where the food is delicious and reminiscent of grandparent’s home cooking. “We want people to feel like they are at their Grandma’s house,” said Rachel. “And, we want to continue offering high quality food with large portions at a reasonable cost. We want our customers to feel like the price they pay for their meal is fair.” A Pauper is generally described as someone who is very poor. However, while eating a dish made by Jeremy or Rachel customers won’t feel that way. Every aspect of the food has been tweaked to perfection. Yet, the price may reflect the definition of a pauper. “We really like the Prince and the Pauper,” said Jeremy. “So, we took the quote, ‘these be very good and sound’ and changed it to, ‘food be very good and sound’. You can expect hearty quality here.” The Pauper is located at 43 South Erie Street in Mayville and is open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday with extended hours during the summer. For more information call 716-224-1064 or visit facebook.com/pages/ThePauper/213493682002869. Reservations are welcomed but not required.

Woodsongs March 29 Show Kev Rowe and Gina Vecchio Contributed Article Ken Hardley

The February show was an exploration of new perspectives of the “grassroots” music we champion on the Woodsongs show. Classical guitarist David Allen Coester played some of the most beautiful music of Western Civilization, including the “Smoke on the Water” of classica music. (Log on to wrfalp.com and listen to the pod cast to find out what that piece is.) Steve Piper showed up and it felt like an ol’ buddy telling us some of the great stories that go with his great songs. And I gotta tell ya, the closer this night was something that may have never been attempted by selfrespecting musicians in public before. And in case there are any questions about this finale of the show, please know that it was David who insisted that this unlikely montage was radio worthy. The upcoming March show will feature two fine singersongwriters, Kev Rowe and Gina Vecchio. Kev Rowe is truly an American singer-songwriter. He has released three highly praised studio albums and currently has over 37,000 fans on Facebook. 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. His understated yet very skillful guitar playing and oh-so-smooth voice are

projections of his personality. He is truly one of the real gentlemen in this business. Kev is also the lead guitarist in the touring Americana band, Big Leg Emma, which hails from Jamestown, NY, Rowe’s hometown. 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. I have been listening to Gina sing for many years and must mention that I have never heard her sing better than she is now. At this stage of her life she has more

technique, power, soul, and life than I have ever heard from her. Gina’s music keeps growing from within. The monthly taping of Woodsongs has become an entertainment destination for a growing number of people. Please stop in. Be part of the live radio audience. The show starts at 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 29, but the audience is asked to be seated by 6:30. Coming up: April 26: Chris Passamonte and Claire Stuczinski June 3: WRFA presents the Woodsongs finale at the Southern Tier Brewery. At this point we have over 15 musicians booked for the show, most of whom are Woodsongs artists. Some of them are Steve Piper, Gina Vecchio, David Allen Coester, Reese Campbell, Tom Carle, Cammy Enaharo, Jeff Erickson, Chris Passamonte, Cindy Haight, Jamie Trussler, Pat and Rosie Maloney, Bump Spencer, Brian Hanna, Bruce Diamond, Joey Spano, and MORE!

Cooking On The Hill: Deep-Fried Cajun Twinkies

When it comes to sauces there isn’t a better bottle in Chautauqua County than Burning Asphalt. So, to help promote some of their amazing creations the Chautauqua Star will be featuring a recipe each week that utilizes one or more of their delicious products. Deep-Fried Cajun Twinkies 6 Twinkies 6 Popsicle Sticks 4 cups of Peanut or Vegetable Oil 1/4 cup of Flour Batter Ingredients 1 cup of Milk 1 tbsp. of Vinegar 1 tbsp. of Oil 1 cup of Flour 3 tbsp. of Burning Asphalt Cajun Sizzle Rub (burningasphalt.com/shoprubs.asp) 1 tsp. of Baking Powder Freeze Twinkies overnight. Remove from freezer. In a deep fryer heat the 4 cups of Peanut or Vegetable Oil to 375 degrees. Mix the Milk, Vinegar, and oil together in a bowl. In a large separate bowl mix the Flour, Burning Asphalt Cajun Sizzle Rub (burningasphalt.com/shoprubs.asp), and Baking Powder. Blend well. Now it’s time to combine the two bowls. You have now created your batter. Whisk until smooth. Cool in refrigerator for 10 minutes. Insert the Popsicle Sticks lengthwise into the Twinkies. Be sure to leave about 3” of the stick showing. This is your handle! Dust the Twinkie with the Flour and submerge into the

batter. For the next step, using tongs, submerge the Twinkie in the hot oil. You will have to hold them down as they tend to float. They are ready when golden brown, approximately 3 minutes. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Let cool for 5 minutes. They can be served on or off the stick. Add toppings if you wish. Enjoy!

Director Of County Veterans Service Agency Advances To State Position Contributed Article Office of the County Executive

Chautauqua County Executive Gregory J. Edwards announced today that Troy Smith, the Director of the County Veterans Service Agency, has been hired by New York State. Troy Smith has decided to pursue his passion for serving veterans by accepting a position with the New York State Division of Veterans Affairs as a NYS Veteran Counselor for Chautauqua County. In his new role, Smith will still be working at the Jamestown and Dunkirk VA clinics and will continue to help Chautauqua County veterans and their families as a state official. “This new position will enhance the services to our veterans,” Smith said. “Chautauqua County Veterans Service Agency has been accredited with the New York State Division of Veterans Af-

fairs for over two years and I will now be the partner at the state level with the same goal of serving veterans of Chautauqua County.” Smith, a Desert Shield/Desert Storm combat veteran, served for 21 years in the U.S. Army and became the Director of Chautauqua County’s Veterans Service Agency on August 4, 2008. As Director, he effectively worked to set clear objectives and goals for the VSA to increase the quantity and quality of services offered to veterans and veteran organizations, while reducing costs associated with the department. He successfully created improved medical clinic access and transportation options, helped implement Veteran Treatment Courts in our County, and increased claims and the volume of dollars in benefits for area veterans and their families. “Troy has been an excellent addition to Chautauqua County operations as a strong

advocate for veterans in our community,” said County Executive Greg Edwards. “New York State recruited Troy and they will be gaining a significant asset to their operations. I look forward to continuing to work with Troy in his new role.” “I would personally like to thank Greg Edwards for his complete support of me for this new position,” Smith said. “I look forward to my new position with NY State Division of Veterans Affairs and working with our State and County leadership to ensure that all of our veterans continue to receive the benefits they have earned.” Edwards said he has begun the process of finding a replacement and plans to establish a bi-partisan committee to help him review future applications and select the new Director of the Veterans Service Agency.

Business Profile

By Patricia Pihl Star News Writer

Dr. Jessica Mierzwa of Forestville Chiropractic is the only chiropractor in Chautauqua County to bring therapeutic cold laser and a pediatric treatment room into a traditional chiropractic practice. Now in business for 11 years, Dr. Mierzwa’s believes in utilizing the least invasive treatments. Her philosophy is to look at the whole person, taking into account nutrition, exercise habits and stress levels, as she evaluates the best possible care for her patients. Before opting for medication or surgery, she feels people ought to use what she terms as “gateway” treatments, before opting for more invasive treatments, which she admits may be necessary for some. Patients arriving to her office enter a soothing atmosphere; walls are hued in a pleasant light green and a beamed pine ceiling adds a rustic elegance. While they are waiting, which usually isn’t for long, they can enjoy an herbal tea, or coffee made by a dolce gusto, adding to the experience, an amenity which also sets Dr. Mierzwa’s practice apart.

Pediatric Treatment Room In a kid friendly, Shrek themed room, Dr. Mierzwa uses chiropractic to treat children with a variety of ailments which range from ear infections and bed wedding to colic to torticollis. “Ninety-five percent of the time we can avoid children having tubes put in their ears. Most of the time we check their upper neck, we check their sacrum.” For colic, she might suggest changing formulas, or if breast fed, changing a mother’s diet. Mierzwa worked under a board certified pediatric chiropractor for ten years and says she likes to work with pregnant women and children, which requires a certain skill set. The youngest baby she ever treated was seven days old. In one case an infant wasn’t properly latching on to breastfeed because during birth the cranial bones didn’t fully separate, which lead to her gulping air. She was treated three times by Dr. Mierzwa. Cold laser therapy Also offered by Forestville Chiropractic is Theralase therapeutic laser, which is FDA approved for the treatment

of pain. Dr. Mierzwa say the laser is especially beneficial at healing tissue damage from a muscle tear, or tendon, ligament or cartilage damage. It also helps to stimulate the release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the mitochondria of cells, which increases healing and decreases the inflammation process. The treatment is called “cold” because unlike other lasers, it doesn’t produce any heat and patients don’t feel anything while being treated. Mierzwa

says the laser penetrates three to four inches into the tissue and stays on treated areas between 90 seconds to three minutes. If a knee is being treated at four places the entire process would take twelve minutes. Typically, Mierzwa says, patients will notice results by the third treatment. “If they don’t, that means it’s time for me to change treatments.” Another requirement for cold laser efficacy is that patients receive three treatments a week.

Recent Awards Keeping Merritt in Category with Best of the Best Contributed Article Merritt Estate Winery

Merritt Estate Winery intends on keeping the momentum going this season when it comes to their participation in national wine competitions. The staff at the winery puts year round effort in to producing their award winning wines and their attention to detail is directly reflected in the honors they have recently received. Jerry D. Mead’s New World International Wine Competition is the only competition of its kind in America and possibly the world. For 21 years the competition opened its doors to wines from any region of the “New World” which includes North America, Central America, South America, Australia, New Zealand and

South Africa. This year, for the first time, the NWIWC expanded its reach to all wine producing nations accepting entries from around the world. Even with this change, the competition still remains unique in nature. Unlike other competitions, the NWIWC places entries not only in categories with the same types of wines but with other wines that have the same price point. The competition boasts that this more accurately determines which wine is genuinely the overall best of the variety or type. Merritt Estate Winery took home one award from the competition. Bella Rosa, a sweet and full-bodied Lambrusco style red wine, won a Best of Class Gold award in its category. In its 19th year, the Monterey Wine Competition recently

took place in King City, California at the Salinas Valley Fairgrounds. The competition has taken the use of social media to the next level offering something to entrants that no other competition in America currently offers. Each of the judges from the competition made a commitment to post detailed tasting notes on their ten favorite wines. These posts are made on the internet either on each judge’s personal blog or social media page or on a major wine site. Competition coordinators and officials are slowly beginning to take in to account just how much the current generation depends on social media for information. Offering this type of publicity for wine entries is a major draw. Merritt Estate Winery took home three awards from the competition. Gewurztraminer,

an off-dry, rich and aromatic white wine with a bright citrus finish, won a gold medal. Bella Ice, a sweet red wine with intense Concord grape flavor won a silver medal. Merritt’s best-selling Bella Rosa was named Best Sweet Red, an impressive title from the competition and a first for the multi award winning wine. For more information on Merritt news and events, visit www.merrittestatewinery. com or find us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/merrittwinery. Merritt Estate is located in Lake Erie Wine Country, the largest grape growing region of New York State located along the shores of Lake Erie.

Marranca Becomes ICBA Immediate Past Chairman Contributed Article CCB

After serving the past 12 months as chairman if the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA), Sal Marranca, president and CEO of Cattaraugus County Bank (CCB), Little Valley, NY, will continue to serve ICBA as immediate past chairman for 2012-13. Marranca was elected during the ICBA National Convention and Techworld in Nashville, Tenn. His term began at the conclusion of the convention on March 14. “Community banks are local job creators that serve a key role in helping their local economies grow and prosper, and I couldn’t be prouder to be part of this great industry,” Marranca said. “I am honored to be elected to this position and feel privileged to work on behalf of the nation’s community banks. They work tirelessly every day to serve the needs of their local customers to help ensure their financial

success, while also continuing to reinvest in their communities to make them a better place for local residents to live and work for generations to come.” Marranca is a member of the ICBA Executive Committee and serves on the ICBA Services Network board of directors. He will also be serving the Nominating Committee as chairman this year. Previously, he served as chairman of ICBA’s Membership/Marketing, Policy Development, Regulation Review, ICBPAC and Strategic Planning committees, as secretary of the ICBA Executive Committee and as an advisory board member to

the ICBA TCM Bank board of directors. Marranca currently serves as a director of New York State and is a past president of the Independent Bankers Association of New York State. His experience includes work with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. from 1969-82, where he held the position of senior bank examiner. He also served a tour of duty in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. “Sal is a dedicated community banker who is respected by his industry peers,” said he successor, ICBA Chairman Jeff Gerhart, chairman, president and CEO of bank of Newman Grove, Neb. “We are delighted

he will continue to offer his time and valuable professional talents to the service of the community banking industry.” ICBA is the only national trade association dedicated exclusively to promoting the interests of locally operated community banks and savings institutions.

Chiropractic Describing herself as “very hands on,” Mierzwa has one treatment room for adults and says she’s not a doctor who is “putting ice or heat on you for twenty minutes or using electrical stimulation.” Like any other treatment modalities, Mierzwa feels electrical stimulation is helpful for some people, but not for others. “I feel that as a patient, you are an entire person from head to tail. If you come in and say that your hip hurts, it doesn’t mean that I’m not going to look at your neck. “I’ll check you from head to toe, but I respect that people may not be comfortable with having certain areas treated.” “I also look at the person’s lifestyle--what’s your degree of stress, is it short term or long term?” She may also ask her patients about their nutritional or exercise habits and if they smoke or use alcohol.

For people with chronic stress, there is a limitation to what chiropractic can do. “If you have all this stress you’re not going to be holding your adjustment very well, she says. “I’m happy to adjust you to get you through your week, and make you feel better...but don’t expect it to hold until you are able to manage your stress.” Mierzwa also offers ISOTONIC nutritional supplementation as well as other vitamins only available through physicians or naturopatic doctor offices and will also advise patients on specific supplements based on their individual condition or concern. She also offers water-filled pillows, which she says most people find very comfortable to the neck area. Forestville Chiropractic offers a 10% discount to military personnel and their families, as well as loyalty cards for regular patients. The practice is open five days a week and is located at 24 Main Street in Forestville.

DeCinque. “JCC is delivering on its promises and doing so with great efficiency.” Dr. DeCinque noted that the report lists JCC’s spending per completion at $46,354 while the state’s average for two-year public colleges is $67,695. The data considered expenses related to instruction, student services, academic support, institutional support, operations, and maintenance. “By visiting JCC’s facilities and experiencing the high quality of education being delivered, it’s clear to see that this college delivers a tremendous return on investment to the public,” he said.

Q&A

‘Tough love’ works with finicky dogs Q: My little dog is so finicky. Plain kibble just isn’t good enough. I have to keep doctoring it up, adding leftovers, cheese and more. And then he gets bored with that, so I have to add something else. What’s the solution? — via email A: Before you do anything, you have to be sure you’re not dealing with an underlying health problem. Pets who are suffering from chronic disease or pain will often stop eating. Unless and until you get your pet to the veterinarian, you won’t make any progress — and your pet may well get worse. It’s also worth noting that if a dog who normally eats well won’t eat what’s in the dish, you need to trust his instincts. Feed something else, even if it’s cottage cheese and rice for the night, and call the company (contact information is on the label). You may be offering a food that has been or should be recalled. But if both your dog and the food check out as fine, you need to teach your dog to eat what’s offered. Provide a quiet place to eat with no distractions, and no competition from other pets. A small room with a baby gate across it is fine, or use a pet crate if your dog is comfortable inside one. Put the food down and leave your dog alone for 20 to 30 minutes. Then pick up the food, eaten or not, say nothing and give your pet no food until the next scheduled feeding. Repeat at every meal: a quiet space, a set time for eating and remove the remainder. Don’t worry if he misses a meal, or even a day or two worth of meals. He won’t starve. Above all: Do not, do not, do not give treats between meals, nor add those “goodies” to the meals after she turns up her nose. Do make sure fresh water is always available, though. I doubt it will take more than a couple of days for your dog to learn to eat promptly the food that’s set down in front of him. Note: Don’t ever try this on a finicky cat. Cutting off a cat’s food supply abruptly can trigger a potentially fatal liver disease. If your cat’s not eating, don’t wait: See your veterinarian. — Gina Spadafori Do you have a pet question?

Check the shelter for perfect pets: two indoor rabbits By Gina Spadafori Universal Uclick

The curative powers of canine saliva are not supported by science. • The idea that a dog’s saliva has healing powers dates all the way back to the ancient Greeks and Romans, whose physicians believed it to be an antidote for poisoning. Modern medicine doesn’t look kindly on such theories, especially when the things a dog eats and licks get taken into account. So if you have a wound, try some antiseptic spray and a Band-Aid instead. Why do dogs seem so interested in sniffing or licking wounds? One reason is that the serum that leaks from an open sore is sweet. • Tired of cats on the counter? Keep kitties from going airborne by covering the off-limits areas with double-sided tape, aluminum foil or upside-down carpet runners. Cats don’t like it when their paws stick to something. They also dislike the sound and feel of aluminum foil, and find the knobs on the carpet runners uncomfortable. You can also try cookie pans filled with water, or spraying bath towels with pet repellent and covering the affected areas. The advantage of these approaches is that they work whether you’re around or not. Plus they set up the cat to choose to make the proper response — staying off the counter — on his own. You should also provide them with safe and approved places to climb, such as a sturdy cat tree. If a cat can’t look down on us, he just can’t be happy. • An ideal weight for most cats is 8 to 12 pounds. Even the larger breeds of cat rarely exceed 15 pounds, with the exception of a few relatively rare breeds. — Mikkel Becker and Dr. Marty Becker

St. Bonaventure Women Routed By Notre Dame Contributed Article Associated Press

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Someday, St. Bonaventure will look back fondly on the best women's basketball season in school history. Just not yet. Not after the Bonnies' first NCAA tournament appearance ended with them making an unwanted kind of history. Notre Dame routed St. Bonaventure 79-35 on Sunday in the Raleigh Regional semifinals, with that 44-point romp matching the 22-year-old record for scoring margin at the regional stage of the tournament. A memorable season that included the school records for most wins and most in a row (18) ended with a thud against the region's top-seeded team after the Bonnies couldn't recover from an awful start in which they went scoreless for more than 10 minutes. “Forty minutes isn't going to define our season,'' coach Joe Crowley said. “It didn't earlier in the year. It doesn't right now.''

national championship that slipped away a year ago. Calling it unfinished business, they've drawn motivation from their loss in the 2011 title game to Texas A&M — and they would've had another crack at the Aggies in the regional final, but the Terrapins rallied to beat them 81-74 in the first semifinal. “This is a really competitive group,'' McGraw said. “When you go down through the team, you kind of realize that they're all the type of player that just hates to lose. So when we lost the last game last year, I think the whole summer workout for them was about getting back, and kind of had that motivation, that extra motivation, to try to get back to that.'' Notre Dame made it to a regional final for the fourth time — the Irish have advanced to the Final Four in each of the previous three — and did it by bringing a quick end to St. Bonaventure's dream season. The Bonnies simply couldn't have started much worse: After Ortega's layup 30 seconds in, they didn't score again until Ortega's threepoint play pulled them within 16-5 with 9:32 left in the half. At its nadir, St. Bonaventure missed 20 of its first 23 shots and didn't get into double figures until the final minute of the half when Jennie Ashton's free throw with 52.2 seconds left made it 33-10. The Irish pushed their lead into the 30s when Novosel's layup with 17 minutes remaining made it 43-13 — and it only got worse from there. “My biggest worry the whole time was if we could score,'' Crowley said. “And, obviously, that came to fruition.''

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Fredonia State junior diver Sarah Ficarro finished second in the nation in women's 3-meter springboard diving at the NCAA Division III Swimming and Diving championships.

She has competed at nationals three straight years and has earned three All-American certificates and three honorable mention All-American certificates. Ficarro also posted the second-best score, also behind Hahn, following preliminaries Saturday afternoon the Indiana University Natatorium.

Silver Creek Overcomes Sluggish Start, Dismantles Eden By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

Despite getting out to a 4-2 start after one quarter, it just felt like Silver Creek was more than capable of extending the lead. The scoring chances weren’t coming in bunches, but the Black Knights had a decent stranglehold on the game. Once Eden scored on a man-advantage opportunity with 20 seconds left in the half to close the game to 6-3, Silver Creek fans were becoming a bit restless. Certainly a three-goal lead was nothing to scoff at, but the Black Knights certainly weren’t playing with a lot of passion. Well whatever head coach Rob Genco told his squad, it worked well. Silver Creek (2-0) extended the lead to 8-3 less than two minutes into the half with freshman attacker Sherman Williams capping the quick scoring run. Eden (0-1) scored on a screened shot to close back within four, but it was all Silver Creek from then on. Midfielder Kaine Kettle cleanly picked up a loose ball and weaved his way through the Eden midfield before sending a perfect pass to

Brandon Brooks, who finished off the goal emphatically, seemingly setting the tone for the rest of the game. Sherman Williams scored again just 23 seconds later as Silver Creek quickly moved up field and scored on the first shot to make it 10-4. Again Silver Creek kept up the pressure after winning the faceoff. After

a quick shot went high, Silver Creek ran a set play for Frank It didn’t stop there, though. Williams added his third goal of the period a mere 43 seconds later to make it 12-4. Then Brown scored thanks to a beautiful pass from Brooks to make it a 13-4 game with 3:31 still left in the third. Finally, 32 seconds later, the on-

slaught ended with Brown, who again was set up with a designed play from Genco. Brown came from behind the net and fired a missile from the side that beat the goaltender above the shoulder. It was their sixth goal in three-and-a-half minutes, firmly stating Silver Creek’s supremacy. Continued on pg 3

Kentucky’s Place In History

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

If you’re a casual college basketball fan, perhaps by now you’ve heard about these Kentucky Wildcats. If you haven’t, Monday will be your last chance to see one the best teams in the history of the sport. Yes, I’m well aware Kentucky has to get through archrival Louisville Saturday before getting a shot at the national championship Monday, but they’re not e losing. I’ve watched a lot of college basketball in my lifetime. A lot. My free time is college basketball. Seven game a week minimum for I honestly don’t know how many years. one I’ve seen really good teams come and go, but I haven’t seen a team like this ever. Besides, for much of the last 15 years — my era of basketball — the game’s best players left well before graduation, if they even went at all. What it produced was an era of mediocrity. Don’t get me wrong; college basketball isn’t anywhere near being solved. The one-and-done process still haunts the sport in similar ways Anthony Davis haunts opponents from coming within 10 feet of their own basket. And while those issues aren’t anywhere near being solved, an unusual combination of events led to one of college basketball’s finest season, in terms of talent at least. Between the NBA lockout and a relatively new rule forcing players to be one year removed from high e school from joining the draft, this year’s college player pool was completely stacked. If you don’t believe me, just wait until what this year’s draft class turns into in the NBA. While that’s for another story, it stresses just how good this Kentucky team is. If you don’t like John Calipari, or Kentucky, or even the state of college basketball, I’m sorry, but neither do I. But you’re ignorant to the facts if you can’t admit just how special this team is. They’re dominating good teams at an alarming rate considering the overall level of basketball this year. Davis will be the No. 1 pick in this upcoming NBA Draft. He could have been the top pick in last year’s draft if he was allowed. He’s the most skilled big man to play college basketball since Marcus Camby went to UMass in the mid-’90s — coincidentally also coached by Calipari — and might be even more dominant but admittedly, that’s a little before my time. But, it’s not just him. Hard for it to be just one guy anyhow when they’re burying nearly every team in sight, though too. Indiana found a way to score, but in the end

it was blatantly obvious that you cannot outscore Kentucky in any way shape or form. The Wildcats have far too many quality weapons. One of those is Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, a 6-foot-7 freshman who I’m having an enjoyable time telling people that he’s actually the best player on the team. Kidd-Gilchrist is starting to shine on the national stage and is looking like a poorman’s Lebron James. He was a lottery pick before this all started happening. Now, his pure dominance in two games in Atlanta vaulted him into the top 5 — maybe even higher. Then, there’s Terrence Jones, a preseason first team AllAmerican by many publications. Jones stunned a lot of people by returning for his sophomore season and passing up a shot at being a lottery pick in last year’s NBA Draft. Perhaps that was because of the lockout, but whatever it was, Jones has put his ego aside and turned into an excellent role player in a sense. He’d be the primary post option on every other single team in the country. On Kentucky, he’s an afterthought. Doron Lamb, also a sophomore, shoots nearly 50 percent from the threepoint line to keep opposing coaches scratching their heads on just how to defend these guys. He’ll play at the next level because of his shooting abilities, but could possibly even develop into a starting point guard. No, Marquis Teague hasn’t been Derrick Rose, John Wall or Brandon Knight, but when he drops 24 points like he did against Iowa State, this team cannot be beaten by any college team. Another year at UK could do him wonders. Darius Miller, a sixth man senior offers an all-around, Mr. Intangible that can do a little bit of everything, including being a much needed leader. To get to the point, it might be the best top six I’ve ever seen in my lifetime of following college basketball. The only one that comes to mind is the 2001 Duke team, who would still have five guys in the NBA if star point guard Jay Williams never got hurt. But, it proves a point. When I went back to look at that Duke team, who featured Carlos Boozer, Shane Battier, Williams, Mike Dunleavy Jr., Chris Duhon and Nate James, I started to get why that team won it all. Just like Duke, there’s going to be a time in five or 10 years that we’re going to look back and say, “of course Kentucky won the national championship that year.” Maybe I’m getting ahead of myself, but I just don’t see how Louisville, Ohio State or Kansas stack up. Which, if I’m true, will lead to Calipari’s first championship. Unless you’re a Kentucky fan, that thought will probably make you cringe. But, Calipari is long overdue. Certainly they’re not invincible, but I think they’re pretty close to it. Come Monday night, we’ll find out if this team is ready to cement its place in history.

LACROSSE continued from pg 1 Brown, a senior, was masterful throughout much of the third to carry the Black Knights. But it was also Brooks and Sherman Williams doing a majority of the damage as Eden defenders struggled to keep Silver Creek in front of them. Zeddie Williams was unusually quiet for the Black Knights, but then again Silver Creek didn’t need him too much tonight until the fourth quarter. Eden clawed back with two early goals in the fourth to close it to 14-6, but one last Silver Creek run put things away for good, and this time it was the star junior picking up the slack. He scored with 6:42 left in the fourth and then set up Brooks with a nifty pass 41 seconds later to push the lead

back to double-digits. Then Kettle scored on a bouncing shot less than a

minute later and Brown and Sherman Williams finished off the scoring, respectively,

to give Silver Creek an easy 19-6 win. Connor Graves, the junior goalie, was solid when tested, especially in the second quarter. Silver Creek’s offense was largely nonexistent for much of the quarter and Graves came up with a couple of big saves to keep the Black Knights ahead somewhat comfortably. They have a fairly long break and won’t play again until April 4 when they travel up to Lew-Port to take on the Lancers. Lew-Port has three games before then with Lockport, Williamsville East and Gowanda all coming into town. After that game, Silver Creek will have another two weeks off before hitting the heavy portion of their schedule.

Brocton, Westfield Prepare For Season

Westfield and Brocton scrimmaged Tuesday afternoon at Brocton High School as both teams getting ready of the upcoming season. With the weather hanging around the mid-40's, it was a tough day for either squad to get going. Westfield managed to load the bases in their first turn at bat, but Brocton got out of the jam. Here, Westfield scores a run on a wild pitch. Brocton opens up their season with Chautauqua Lake Thursday. Meanwhile, Westfield opens the season against these same Brocton Bulldogs April 5 before taking off for the Mingo Bay Classic in South Carolina. (Photo by Chris Winkler)

Chautauqua Sports Hall Of Fame To Screen ‘Rudy’

Contributed Article Chautauqua Sports HOF

Rudy, the inspiring true story of Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger, who had always been told that he was too small to play college football, but was determined to overcome the odds and fulfill his dream of playing for Notre Dame will be shown Wednesday, April 4, 7 p.m., at the Robert H. Jackson Center in Jamestown. The movie will be shown free of charge as a community service project of the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame.

Rudy Ruettiger grew up in a mill town where most people ended up working in the steel factory, but he wanted to play football at Notre Dame instead. There were a couple of problems — his grades were a little low, his athletic skills were poor, and he was only half the size of the other players. But he had immeasurable drive and the spirit and set his sights upon joining the Fighting Irish. Jim Roselle, WJTN radio personality and Notre Dame fan, will introduce the movie. For more information, contact CSHOF president: Randy Anderson 716-640-6219.

Letter to the Editor In my years of officiating basketball I have seen both the good and the bad of high school athletics, but this past Wednesday I was privileged to witness the “very best of the best” as more than 50 of our county’s outstanding young men and ladies competed in the annual Seniors’ All-star Game at Cassadaga Valley High School. A capacity crowd was treated to outstanding competition and good sportsmanship as these fine athletes bid farewell to their high school basketball careers. What many fans and players overlook is the fact that an event like this takes many, many hours of preparation and planning throughout the year by volunteers whose only reward comes from the satisfaction of giving back to our young people. This includes the coaches, referees, ticket takers, timekeepers, and scorers, all of whom work for free. Loren Smith of Panama Central School has been the driving force behind this

event for more than a decade, providing “up front” money for trophies, t-shirts, etc., securing the necessary permission from the State, along with tending to the many other details involved in this yearlong effort. In addition, Mark Petersen, Cassadaga Valley’s athletic director, makes the arrangements for use of the gym, schedules practices for the squads, takes care of the setup of the gym, and handles the game night activities. Thanks also should go to the parents, other relatives, and friends who come to support the athletes. Their attendance not only makes this event possible, but they have the satisfaction of knowing that any proceeds from the game beyond expenses go to support cancer research at Saint Jude’s Children’s Hospital. Congratulations to all involved in a most memorable night. Paul K. Cooley Gerry, N.Y.

Third generation of Earnhardts following in family footprints

f Dale Earnhardt were alive today, he’d be 60 years old and no doubt enjoying watching two of his grandchildren as they try to follow in his racing tire tracks. His 22-year-old grandson Jeffrey Earnhardt, the son of Kerry Earnhardt, is running a mix of Nationwide and Grand-Am races. The Intimidator’s 11-year-old granddaughter Karsyn Elledge, the daughter of Kelley Earnhardt Miller and NASCAR crew chief Jimmy Elledge, races Mini Outlaw karts on dirt tracks in her native North Carolina. Dale Earnhardt Jr. has watched his niece race and is impressed with her ability and her potential as a race driver. “She does really, really good,” he said. “For whatever reason, she’s got the speed to be competitive, and she’s not scared of it at all. I don’t know how she knows how to go around a dirt track and drive sideways and all those things, because she is just a little girl. But, she knows. You know, she just knows.” Earnhardt admits that he wasn’t exactly expecting his little niece to be such a charger on the race track. “I didn’t see it coming,” he said. “But she is a lot of fun to watch, and a lot of fun to listen to.” He said Karsyn’s racing experiences are paying other dividends, too. “It has really changed her as a person, too,” he said. “I think the best thing about it is for her to get in there and do [it], that really matured her as a person.” He said her racing has taught her how to win; to learn how to lose, and to do so with integrity. “At first when she would lose, she wouldn’t do too well with that,” he said. “She has become a much better person for it. “I think it has helped her out tremendously away from the track, in school and everything else. She has done a lot better.” Jeffrey Earnhardt has run 10 Camping World Truck and five Nationwide races in his brief career in NASCAR’s top divisions, with a best finish of seventh in last year’s truck race at Daytona. He races a car numbered 15, as his grandfather did while driving for Hall of Fame car owner Bud Moore. But the younger

Earnhardt’s cars, fielded by Rick Ware, don’t have the winning tradition of Moore’s. Jeffrey Earnhardt also plans to race the full schedule of the GT division of the Grand-Am Rolex Series, and his next race on that circuit is the March 31 Porsche 250 at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Ala. But he said on last week’s NASCAR teleconference that his ultimate goal is a Sprint Cup career, and that’s why he’s running both series. “We are looking to doing a handful of Nationwide races,” he said. “We want to do enough where I can still be a rookie next year, because my ultimate goal is to make it to the Cup Series one day.” Like his grandfather and his uncle, he also enjoys road racing. Jeffrey Earnhardt “That’s the rea(NASCAR photo) son we did the Grand-Am,” he said. “But we are definitely going to keep focusing on the NASCAR side of things and try to compete in as many of those events as we can and not go over the rookie status, but also get as much seat time as I can.” Earnhardt seems to fully understand that it’ll take more than a famous last name to get the ride he wants in NASCAR’s elite series, and he appears ready to do what it takes to get there. “Seat time is my biggest thing,” he said. “I feel like with a little more seat time and a little better preparation, it’s just going to continue to better me as a driver and eventually put me in the Cup Series, which is my ultimate goal. “The only way to get there is to take the stepping stones just like everybody else to get there, and Nationwide just has to be one of them.”

Gibbs keeps Fontana streak When it comes to Nationwide Series races at Auto Club Speedway, Joe Gibbs Racing has the field covered. On Saturday, Joey Logano drove the team’s No. 18 Chevrolet to victory, starting on the pole and leading eight times for 92 of the race’s 150 laps. It was his team’s eighth-straight win at the Fontana, Calif., track, dating back to February 2008, when Tony Stewart started the streak. Kyle Busch, who now campaigns his own Toyota, has five of those wins and Logano the other two. Logano now has 10 career Nationwide victories.

Gordon questions car design Jeff Gordon said last week that he wasn’t all that mad at his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. over the contact between the two of them that knocked Gordon out of the race at Bristol Motor Speedway. But he does question the design of the cars that led to the cut tire that sent him into the wall. Gordon said even with slight contact, the tailpipe on Earnhardt’s car Jeff Gordon lined up perfectly (NASCAR photo) with the left-rear tire of his car, slicing the sidewall and deflating the tire. “I don’t understand why the tailpipes are even capable of getting to the left-rear tire,” he said. “If that happens at a big, fast speedway then that’s a much bigger incident than what that was. “I’d like to see that addressed.”

NASCAR’s Helton: ‘We believe in our inspectors’ In the days following the stunning reversal of most of the penalties imposed on the No. 48 Chevrolet team for a rules infraction at Daytona International Speedway, there has been much speculation over how the decision by NASCAR’s chief appellate officer John Middlebrook will affect the inspection process going forward. NASCAR and its inspectors had suspended crew chief Chad Knaus and car chief Ron Malec for six races, docked the team and driver Jimmie Johnson 25 points apiece and fined Knaus $100,000 for improper modifications to the Cpost area of their car. Even after a three-member appeals panel upheld the penalties, Middlebrook, without explanation, wiped out all but the fine against Knaus. NASCAR president Mike Helton, at a press conference at Auto Club Speedway, said the inspection process isn’t flawed and won’t change. “We believe in our inspectors,” he said. “We think that the decision that was made [by Middlebrook] supports the inspection process because the elements of the penalty that were upheld indicate that the inspection process, or the inspectors, did their job correctly … We believe very strongly in our inspec-

Most years, Tony Stewart doesn’t make an appearance in the Sprint Cup win column until the summer months, when the tracks get hot and slick, conditions that play to his driving style. But his win on Sunday in a rain-shortened race at Auto Club Speedway was his second in the first five races of this season and his seventh in the past 15 dating back to Chicagoland last September. Stewart said in his winner’s interview at Auto Club that he, too, is amazed by his earlyseason success. “The history shows in the last 13 years we have not had the strongest starts the first third of the year,” the defending Cup champion said. “I’m really, really excited about the start that we’ve got going. “We’ve been strong everywhere we’ve been. Daytona was probably our weakest race, and I know I made decisions trying to make things happen, and didn’t work out, but it wasn’t because our cars weren’t good. “We’ve had top-10 cars and top-5 cars every race this year after that.” Stewart has been able to continue his winning ways even as he switched crew chiefs, with Steve Addington taking over for Darian Grubb, who led Stewart’s team to the 2011 championship and now works with Denny Hamlin. Addington said he’s joined a group of people that knows what it takes to build winning race cars. “The group of people they have in place there at Stewart-Haas Racing is just unbelievable,” he said. “It’s just racers, guys that want to work. “There are a lot of smart people that give you support. You can ask a question and somebody will have you an answer really fast.” Addington said the addition of Stewart’s old crew chief Greg Zipadelli to the Stewart-Haas team has made a big difference, too. He said Zipadelli sits in on the team meetings with Stewart and Ryan Newman and their crew chiefs at the track and helps both teams find more speed. “With Tony and Ryan in a debrief, he asks the questions and opens your mind up to different things,” Addington said. “That’s really cool that he can sit back and watch the big picture, what’s going on in practice and things, then ask you questions. “You go back and look at different areas of the car and your setups and your notes and stuff. That’s brought a lot to the table. I think that’s helped us a ton, too, both teams.” 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 oldfashioned whipping on his peers. “The fall race was a great win, but when 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.”

So the inspection process is status quo as we go forward.” Helton was asked whether Middlebrook, a former General Motors executive, should have recused himself because of his close ties with Rick Hendrick, the owner of the No. 48 Chevrolet, and a major Chevrolet car dealer. “Let me answer it this way,” Helton said. “When we chose John Middlebrook as our chief appellate officer, we chose him based on our experiences with him for several years, his pragmatic approach to business, and to his relationship with race teams and with NASCAR. “The reasons that we chose the

current chief appellate officer haven’t changed. Our opinion and our belief in our chief appellate officer haven’t changed.” Helton also said that if the No. 48 shows up at the next restrictorplate race, at Talladega Superspeedway in May, with the same C-posts, that he’d like to see his inspectors react in a similar manner to what they did at Daytona. “I hope so,” he said. With his points restored, and a 10th-place finish at Auto Club Speedway (despite an oil leak just as rain ended the race), Johnson is now ninth in the Cup standings, 39 points behind leader Greg Biffle.

But in the end, it was Jamestown’s inability to beat any other team besides Michigan. After losing four in a row, again the Ironmen swept in late November to get back into the playoff race. But, again, Jamestown couldn’t maintain any momentum from the wins over the Warriors

They lost four in a row, including three games by a total of three goals to Port Huron. Seemingly every time Daikawa and I talked during the month of December, it was about his team losing a tough one to the Fighting Falcons. They rebounded by taking two of three from Traverse City at the New Year. It moved

6-4 Loss To Kalamazoo Sinks Jamestown’s Playoff Bid The Jamestown Ironmen were eliminated from postseason play Sunday with a 6-4 loss to the Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings. Jamestown will wrap up their season this weekend with three games against the Traverse City North Stars. It was an uphill climb for the Ironmen after a promising start to the season that begun with back-to-back wins over Chicago. However, then the goal draught started, something head coach Dan Daikawa warned about. Jamestown lost their next eight games while only scoring five goals as they spent the first month of the season without a home game. From there on, it was a large uphill climb to gain points in the standings. But it was a good start as Jamestown won five of their next eight including two more wins over Chicago. While a pair of one-goal games at home to Kalamazoo that had the feel of a blow that could send the team into a tailspin, they ended up sweeping Michigan the following weekend to get back into the thick of things.

Jamestown within six points of Michigan and Traverse City for either of the final two playoff spots. But, then the wheels fell off. Coupled with a series of injuries, Jamestown lost 12 of their next 14 games, including a nine-game losing streak that stretched on for a month. Jamestown was battling key injuries to goaltender Joey Ballmer and also lost a variety of defensemen. By the time the Ironmen got healthy, it wasn’t necessarily too late — thanks to Michigan’s struggles — but Jamestown simply couldn’t wrack up enough points to close in on the Warriors. While Sunday’s loss effectively ended Jamestown season, it also brought a halt to the impressing goal streak of Luc Gerdes. Gerdes, who was acquired from Topeka earlier in the season, had a goal in five straight games, tying an NAHL record. He had an impressive month as is, scoring seven goals in 10 March games. The 93-year forward will still have two years left in the NAHL if he chooses and certainly gives Daikawa and the Ironmen a player to build around for next year.

Final Four Hits New Orleans This Weekend Louisville

Kentucky ATLANTA (AP) — Kentucky could've cut the nets down at halftime. Actually, the Wildcats probably would've been good skipping the ceremony altogether. A South Region title is fine, but what matters to this bunch of future NBA stars is breaking out the scissors in the Big Easy. Top-seeded Kentucky advanced to the Final Four for the second year in a row with a 82-70 blitzing of Baylor, setting up a Bluegrass showdown with rival Louisville in the national semifinals Saturday at New Orleans. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist scored 19 points, Anthony Davis added 18 points and 11 rebounds, and Terrence Jones dazzled in all the overlooked areas to lead the Wildcats (36-2) on Sunday. For all the hoopla sure to surround the next game in its basketball-crazed state, Kentucky won't consider the season a success unless it wins two more games — culminating in a national title. "I'm not satisfied yet," KiddGilchrist said. This group sure has the look of a champion, shaking off an early blow by the Bears (30-8) — a very good team with a daring fashion sense that was simply no match for coach John Calipari's latest group of Fab Freshmen. Kentucky took control with an early 16-0 run and led by 20 at halftime. The Wildcats beat Louisville 69-62 on New Year's Eve, but now they'll meet with the highest stakes ever. KiddGilchrist shrugged when

someone asked about playing the Cardinals. "I'm just worried about us," he said. "That's it. I don't worry about anybody else." Calipari, in his third season at Kentucky, just keeps recruiting the best high school players in the land, molds them into a top team, and then sends most of 'em on to the NBA. Then he starts the whole process over again. "There are some opinions that will never change," Calipari said. "All I'm trying to do is coach these young people. I'm trying to do the best job for these kids and their families." Two years ago, John Wall led Kentucky to the regional final. Last season, Brandon Knight helped guide the Wildcats to the Final Four. Now, with those guys in the NBA and Kidd-Gilchrist and Davis stopping off for what could be their only season in Lexington, Big Blue has a shot at what those last two teams failed to do — bringing Kentucky its first national title since 1998. At one point, Kidd-Gilchrist had as many points as Baylor's entire team: 17 apiece. Kentucky led 42-22 at the break and Baylor never got any closer than 10 points the rest of the way. "It's kind of hard to play us,"

Davis said. "We're very long and very athletic. It makes it tough on the other team." The Wildcats left New Orleans earlier this month disappointed with a loss in the Southeastern Conference championship game. That one's long forgotten. A national championship has been the goal all along. Quincy Acy led Baylor with 22 points, and Pierre Jackson added 21. Not enough. Not nearly enough. "They're a great team," Acy said. "They've got some good dudes down there." With Baylor's Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III cheering on the Bears from the stands, Acy tried to send a message early on that Baylor would not be intimidated by the Wildcats. After Quincy Miller hit an uncontested 3-pointer from the top of the lane to give Baylor a 10-5 lead, Calipari lashed into his young team. "I told them we've got to step on the gas here," he said. Boy, did they respond. Sixteen consecutive points, an NBA-like display of defensive dominance and easy baskets that sent the Georgia Dome, and the predominantly blueclad crowd, into a frenzy. There's still work to do in the Big Easy.

PHOENIX (AP) — Once upon a time, Billy Donovan took Rick Pitino on an improbable ride to the Final Four. Twenty-five years later, Pitino is heading back after another unbelievable run — one capped with an amazing late-game rally that left his old protégé wondering what the heck happened. Freshman forward Chane Behanan made the go-ahead basket with 1:06 left Saturday and Pitino's fourth-seeded Louisville Cardinals outscored Florida by 15 points over the final 10 minutes for a 72-68 victory in the West Regional final. And all Pitino could think afterward was, "Hate to do that to ya, kid." "Tonight, it was very difficult because of the way the game ended, because they outplayed us for 32 minutes," Pitino said. "And it really hurt inside. As much as I felt like celebrating, it really hurt because he did such a masterful job of coaching." Russ Smith, who finished with 19 points, followed Behanan's bucket with a pair of free throws and then Florida freshman Bradley Beal and teammate Kenny Boynton each missed chances to tie in the final seconds. Louisville made one more free throw to seal the game and reach its ninth Final

Kansas

Ohio State BOSTON (AP) — Ohio State coach Thad Matta sized up his team in the middle of the season and had it figured for an early loss when the NCAA tournament came around. The final weekend of March Madness is next, and the Buckeyes will be there. Jared Sullinger recovered from first-half foul trouble to score 19 points and grab seven rebounds, helping Ohio State beat top-seeded Syracuse 77-70 on Saturday to advance to the Final Four in New Orleans. "We're not going down to New Orleans for a vacation. It's a business trip," said Sullinger, who picked up his second foul 6 minutes into the game and did not return the rest of the half. "These guys have played without me before, so they know what they have to do." Deshaun Thomas scored 14 points with nine rebounds for Ohio State (31-7), which led by eight points with 59 seconds to play and held on after the Orange cut it to three. The Buckeyes made 13 of 14 free throws in the final 68 seconds and finished 31 of 42 from the line. Ohio State is making its first trip to the Final Four since 2007, when it lost in the national championship game to Florida. They had lost in the regional semifinals in each of the past two seasons, and Matta wasn't even sure they would make it that far after a series of unimpressive practices. When the Buckeyes, who spent five weeks as the No. 2 team in the nation, closed out February with three defeats

in five games — including a home loss to Wisconsin on Feb. 26 — Matta had more reason to worry. But he got the response he was hoping for. "That loss opened their eyes and said, 'Hey, maybe we're not as good as we think we are,' " Matta said. "Maybe it got us pointed in the right direction." Brandon Triche scored 15 points, and Baye Keita had 10 rebounds for Syracuse (34-3). The Orange were hoping for a return trip to New Orleans, where they won their only national championship in 2003. In a tightly officiated game that left Sullinger on the bench in foul trouble for most of the first half and Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim not-quite muzzled after picking up a technical foul, it came down to free throws. Syracuse was called for 29 fouls — its most in more than three years — despite playing its usual 2-3 zone. Boeheim didn't like several of the fouls called. He picked up a technical for objecting to a foul in the first half, and he escaped another in the second half despite shouting his profane complaint across the court. At one point, he turned to Jeff

Four, the second under Pitino, despite playing the final 3:58 without point guard Peyton Siva, who fouled out. Seventh-seeded Florida (2611) went out in the regional final for the second straight year, with Donovan falling to 0-7 lifetime against the man who coached him on that Final Four team at Providence in 1987, hired him as an assistant at Kentucky a few years later and felt as proud as a papa when he watched Donovan win his two national titles in 2006 and 2007. "I said this earlier, for myself, I don't think any of us like losing," Donovan said. "But if someone said to me, 'You have to lose a game, who would it be to?' I would say him.' " Louisville will take an eightgame winning streak on its trip to New Orleans. Awaiting is Pitino's old school, Kentucky, which beat Baylor on Sunday to set up a grudge match to end them all. "We think they're excellent. We think they're great. I coached there. It's great. Great tradition," Pitino said. "But we want to be Louisville. We have a different mission. They have a different mission. But we both want to get to a Final Four and win a championship."

This game had a much more warm-and-fuzzy story line than that possible Bluegrass State matchup — a meeting between two men who say theirs is more of a father-son relationship than anything else. But make no mistake. This was no heartwarmer. Donovan got under Pitino's skin early in the second half during a timeout when he worked over the officials, who promptly called a foul against the Cardinals (30-9) when play resumed. "He called that," Pitino shouted to the ref. "Why don't you just give him a whistle?" Pitino couldn't get a break for a while after that and when Siva picked up his fourth foul, the coach stomped onto the court and got hit with a technical. Erving Walker made four straight free throws and the Gators led by 11, setting the stage for what could've been Donovan's fourth trip to the Final Four. The Gators missed six shots and committed one turnover over the last 2:30. They didn't score after Boynton's layup gave them a 68-66 lead with 2:39 left. They finished with 14 turnovers to six for Louisville — probably the difference in a game in which they still outshot Louisville 50 percent to 45. "What happens is, you can't lose confidence," Pitino said. "I kept telling our guys we're going to the Final Four. Win the Big East tournament, we're going to the Final Four. And they did."

Hathaway, the chairman of the NCAA selection committee who was sitting near the Syracuse bench, and made his case in person. Afterward, Boeheim gave a terse "no comment" when asked if the officials hurt the flow of the game. A statement from the officiating crew chief said Boeheim was given a technical for being out of the coaching box and gesturing about a call. "We're not going to blame it on the refs," said guard Scoop Jardine, who had 14 points and six assists. "I think we had a chance to win the game no matter what, with the refs or without them giving us any calls." The Orange went to the line 25 times, making 20 foul shots. "We got Sullinger in foul trouble early and we didn't take advantage of it," Boeheim said. "You know when he comes back in he's going to be difficult, and he was." Syracuse was already without 7-footer Fab Melo, who missed the tournament with academic issues, and replacement Rakeem Christmas picked up two quick fouls early in the second half to leave him with four. Ohio State is the last remaining team from the Big Ten, which placed six teams in the NCAA tournament and four in the round of 16.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Back in December, Kansas was scuffling along at 7-3 and simply making the NCAA tournament would have been considered an achievement. Look where the overachievers are headed now. Kansas is on its way to the Final Four for the first time since winning it all in 2008, thanks to a clutch performance by Tyshawn Taylor, some stifling defense and the Jayhawks' unshakable belief that they were better than anyone gave them credit for. Taylor broke out of his scoring slump with 22 points and the Jayhawks handcuffed top-seeded North Carolina for the last 5½ minutes of an 80-67 victory over old coach Roy Williams and the Tar Heels on Sunday. "This would have been a year, if we got to the second weekend (of the tournament), most Kansas fans would be happy. But that's not how those guys think," coach Bill Self said. "They think this is their year, and I'm certainly not going to tell them anything different." The second-seeded Jayhawks (31-6) will play Ohio State on Saturday in their first Final Four appearance since winning the 2008 national championship. And how's this for symmetry? Kansas began this year's tournament in Omaha, Neb.,

the same place as four years ago. Taylor led all five Jayhawks starters in double figures. Player of the year candidate Thomas Robinson added 18 points and nine rebounds, and Elijah Johnson kept up his blistering pace in the tournament with 10 points, including a 3-pointer with 3:07 to play that sparked Kansas' 12-0 run to end the game. "There's no way to put into words the way we feel," Williams said. "There's no way to put into words the way I feel. ... It's the NCAA tournament. One team wins and one team loses, and that's what we have to understand." It was only the third defeat in 12 regional final appearances for the Tar Heels, but their second straight after losing to Kentucky last year. "It was a game of runs," Williams said. "And we didn't answer the last one." This was only the second time Williams had faced Kansas since leaving the school where he spent his first 15 years as a head coach, taking the Jayhawks to the NCAA title game twice — they lost in both 1991 and

2003 — and two other Final Fours. Though Kansas fans have softened some — Williams was still greeted with a chorus of boos, and one fan held up a sign that said, "Roy Down, 2 to Go" — Williams said Saturday that facing his old team will always be unpleasant. "Too emotional for me. That's the bottom line," Williams said, calling Kansas his "second-favorite" team. "I don't think it'll ever feel good for me, regardless of the outcome. I don't think I'll ever feel comfortable with it." The game was tied 47-all at halftime, and the Jayhawks seemed on the verge of pulling away several times only to have Carolina reel them back in. But just before the midway point of the second half, Kansas established some breathing room when Releford scored on a jumper to start an 8-2 run. Taylor capped the spurt with a swirl-in jumper and a dunk off a turnover by Henson to give the Jayhawks a 66-61 lead. Zeller pulled the Tar Heels within two on a putback, and Barnes hit the first of two free throws to make it 68-67 with 3:58 to play. But Johnson, shooting almost 52 percent in the tournament, drained that 3 from NBA range to start the decisive run. "It was a shot I was comfortable taking," Johnson said. "He took a step backward, and I made him pay for it." Doubt the Jayhawks, and they'll prove you wrong.

Sabres Crush Capitals, Move Ahead In Standings

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — With a magnificent performance on the road in a pivotal late-season game, the surging Buffalo Sabres took another huge step in their charge to the playoffs. In the process, Buffalo dealt a severe blow to the erring Washington Capitals. Ryan Miller stopped 44 shots, Drew Stafford scored two goals and the Sabres beat Washington 5-1 Tuesday night to climb over the Capitals into the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. It was the fifth straight win for the Sabres, their longest streak since a six-game run in 20092010. Buffalo was in 14th place on Feb. 17 before going on a 14-2-4 tear. The Sabres have 86 points, two more than Washington and two fewer than seventh-place Ottawa. All three teams have five games left. After playing catch-up for six weeks, Buffalo can't afford to let up. "It's a great thing because of the way we're playing," Stafford said. "We can control our fate now. We know every game from now on is just like it's been the past month or so — it's must-win. Even though we're in right now, it doesn't matter to us because we've got games left and we need to get the job done." Buffalo took a 3-0 lead early in the second period and coasted home behind Miller, who's 14-1-3 over his past 18 games, allowing only 32 goals in that span. He's also 8-0-2 in his past 10. The standout goaltender had plenty of help. "It was pretty important to have everybody going," Miller said. "Every line contributed and everybody played hard. It was a great team effort, and the perfect time to do it." Buffalo took control with a two-goal first period and went up 3-0 on Thomas Vanek's 25th

goal of the season at 2:31 of the second period. That chased Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby, who stopped 15 shots. Alexander Semin answered for Washington at 5:07 of the period, and the Capitals had a chance to further cut into the deficit with a power play. Instead, Washington's most esteemed player made a critical mistake that pretty much sealed the decision. With the Capitals working in Buffalo's end of the ice, Alex Ovechkin misplayed the puck at the point and Buffalo's Jason Pominville gained possession and bolted the other way, ending his run with a short-handed goal against Michal Neuvirth for a 4-1 lead. "I thought we were starting to feel pretty good about ourselves," Washington's Karl Alzner

said. "The crowd was feeling pretty good, I think. And that was a real killer." After his futile chase after Pominville, Ovechkin pounded his stick on the ice in frustration. "I should play the puck on my stake, not my stick," Ovechkin said. "But it happens." Ovechkin came in with seven goals and an assist over his previous five games, but in this game he didn't get a point and mustered only two shots over the first two periods. Stafford got his second goal of the game and 19th of the season at 9:29 of the third period, sending a good portion of the sellout crowd scurrying for the exits. The Capitals aren't done yet, but time is running out. "Now we're going to start needing a little bit of help and that's kind of the first time we've been

in this position," winger Mike Knuble said. "You've got to set a target of trying to get four out of these five and finish extremely strong. And then even if you do that and hold up that end of the bargain, you've got to wait for a little bit of help somewhere else." The Sabres opened the scoring at 8:45 of the first period when Cody McCormick registered his first goal in 67 games since February 2011. Holtby's effort to clear the puck from behind the net ended up on the stick of Buffalo's Brad Boyes, who whipped a centering pass to McCormick in the slot. McCormick is the 30th different player to score a goal for the Sabres this season. The last team to have more than 30 players score a goal in a season was the 2006-07 Phoenix Coyotes with 32. It became 2-0 at 18:05 of the period when Stafford tipped in his own rebound after Holtby let Stafford's first attempt slip behind him in the crease. That was enough offense to give Buffalo another big win. "Obviously with them being right there with us in the standings the stakes are a little bit higher, but we're not done yet," Stafford said. "We're in the position we want to be, but we know the road is just going to get tougher." GAME NOTES Buffalo D Christian Ehrhoff hurt his left knee in a collision with Troy Brouwer late in the first period and did not return. ... Capitals GM George McPhee said C Nicklas Backstrom, who has been sidelined since early January with a concussion, has passed a baseline test and will decide himself when to resume playing. McPhee said, "We'll see where it goes from here, but it looks like the worst is behind for Nicky." ... The Capitals signed free agent D Cameron Schilling to a two-year entrylevel contract. The 23-year-old Schilling played in 144 games with Miami (Ohio). ... Buffalo won the season series 3-1, its first series win against the Capitals since 2007-08.

Last week’s unusually warm weather really boosted the fishing conditions. Well I assume that is what brought the smallmouth bass in to the tributaries so early. During a normal year, smallmouths don’t come in to the streams until May. I am curious to see if they retreat back into the lake now that the water in the creeks has gotten colder again. As long as the weather keeps changing wildly the fishing is going to be unpredictable. That’s not really a bad thing; being unpredictable just makes the fishing more fun.

Cattaraugus Creek is currently running at about 670 cubic feet per second (cfs), which is still a little high and murky, but fishable. Conditions are ideal on this creek when flow is less than 500 cfs. All of the other creeks have lower, clear conditions. Saturday's rain should help if the forecast holds true. There are still plenty of steelheads spread throughout the system and catches have been fair this week. Steelhead anglers should target mid to upper sections of the streams. Suckers are in heavy in the lower stretches, making it difficult to target steelhead there. The first of the smallmouth bass have also moved into the lower sections. Anglers can use a variety of baits for spring steelhead, such as egg sacs, egg pattern flies, trout beads, jigs with grubs, stonefly imitations, streamers, minnows and nightcrawlers. When fishing clear conditions downsize your baits and use small hooks and light tippet to fool finicky steelhead. Some steelheads are actively spawning. Anglers should avoid active spawners and take care not to disturb redds (gravel nests) as natural reproduction adds to the steelhead fishery. Lake Erie and Harbors Boaters saw good yellow perch catches this week off Sturgeon Point in 50-60 feet of water. Emerald shiners fished just off the bottom were the ticket. The Sturgeon Point launch will be closed for a short period starting Monday, for dredging purposes. Anglers can also launch out of Cattaraugus Creek. Launch docks are not in place so bring your waders. The trout bite has cooled in Dunkirk Harbor. Anglers are catching the occasional brown trout from the pier and fishing platform on minnows, spoons and spinners. Look for the

bullhead bite to pick up in the harbor at night. The best bite is usually behind the Clarion. Chautauqua Lake The crappie bite is starting to pick up in the canals and in the south basin. Minnows or a small jig (1/32 oz.) tipped with a minnow have worked well. Anglers are also catching more bullhead. Fish the canals or from the lakeshore at night for bullhead. Upper Niagara River Look for yellow perch, crappie and bluegill to start moving into the harbors, bays and inlets along Grand Island and east side of the river. These areas warm quicker than the main river channel, attracting both bait and sunfish. Emerald shiner is the top bait, but other small minnows and worms will work too. Anglers usually catch rainbow trout at this time of year from Bird Island Pier, Broderick Park and the northern tip of Squaw Island. Anglers can target trout by drifting egg sacs and minnows or by casting spoons. Spring Trout Stocking The DEC has begun spring trout stocking in preparation for the April 1st trout opener on many of the area streams. Hatchery staff is 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. Anglers can call the Ran-

dolph Hatchery Fish Stocking Hotline at (716) 358-4950 for weekly stocking updates. The following waters will be stocked before April 1st.

Insider By T.J. TOMASI BIRDIES AND BOGEYS

TEEING OFF

Time for a change?

This week you have a big decision to make. If you’ve been following this series on a swing improvement plan, consider all the information you’ve gathered and ask yourself: Is it time to completely reconstruct my swing? Here’s a quick quiz to help you decide. If you answer yes to more than 40 percent of the questions below, or if you answer yes to questions 1, 5, 6 or 9, you probably should stick with your current swing. 1. Are you short-term, quick-fix oriented? 2. Is the ball your master, meaning that you make a swing adjustment after a bad shot in an attempt to make the next shot a good one? 3. Do you take swing advice from various sources on a regular basis (television, friends and newspaper/magazine articles)? 4. Do you overestimate your golf talent based on your success in other areas, such as business or another sport? 5. Is it hard to find the time to make major changes in your swing? 6. Do you have a low tolerance for chaos? 7. Do you believe that since you are working hard and investing the time, you “deserve” to play better? 8. Does your golf performance affect your mood off the golf course? 9. Is gambling (playing for money) a major reason you play the game? 10. Do you dislike practicing? 11. Do you quit when things aren’t going your way? 12. Do you get angry and lose your temper when you play golf? 13. Do you have a trusted coach who would help you through a change? 14. Are you a poor relearner (can’t teach the old dog new tricks)? 15. Do you play a lot of stroke-play amateur tournament golf? You may be surprised that I listed question 9 as one of the biggest detriments to making swing changes, but in my experience, having to hand over cash and/or costing your partner cash because you’re changing your swing creates too much social dissonance. Question 15 may appear to be the same, but it isn’t. If you’re a tournament player, it’s tough to make changes, but since you are playing against a large pool of players, their skills are a constant reminder that you have to update your skills. The gambler most often plays with the same group, and over time a steady state is established that is painfully disturbed when one of the group changes performance levels. If you are a candidate for a swing reconstruction and you decide to change your swing, my recommendation is to start by reading about the LAWs of the Golf Swing at www.tjtomasi.com so you’ll be sure to correctly match your swing type to your body type.

Forewarned is forearmed There are few things that will disrupt your ball flight more than too much forearm rotation. There are two bones in your forearm that rotate over each other to allow the palm of your hand to turn skyward as well as to the ground. These are handy movements to have in your survival arsenal, but if they are over- or underdone during your golf swing, they cause trouble. The reason is that your forearms rotate the clubface, which is responsible for 85 percent of your accuracy. If it’s your goal to hit consistently accurate shots, listen up. The key to accuracy is to cock your wrists without rolling your forearms during the takeaway. It’s important to understand how to set your lead wrist without spinning the shaft, so use this drill: Extend your lead arm straight out and aim your hand at a target as if it were a pistol with the hammer (your thumb) cocked and ready to fire. Your wrist should be directly in line with your forearm. Now take your address position, and practice cocking your wrist the same way, so the club sets upward, making sure it stays in line with your forearm. To keep your forearm under control during your takeaway, cock your front wrist (per the drill) by moving your thumb back toward your lead shoulder as you swing your arm

This player has begun to cock his wrist so that the shaft is in line with the lead arm pointing directly at his elbow.

ABOUT THE WRITER across the middle of Dr. T.J. your chest. Tomasi is a teaching Here, the professional shaft of your in Port St. club points Lucie, Fla. Visit his between the website at target line tjtomasi.com. and your toe line. Note that your arms move up and your wrists cock up, but the forearm doesn’t spin the clubface open. The guiding concept is that the arms and wrists do the “up and down” of the swing and the body does the “around,” and they don’t get into each other’s business. Thus the amount the club travels behind you equals the amount of body rotation, and the amount the club goes above you equals the arm/wrist elevation. And here is the key point: As you rotate your body, the momentum tilts the shaft so that it now points at the target line, aka on the plane angle. You don’t force the shaft to rotate, but you allow your friend momentum to do it, and when momentum is your friend, the clubface twirl that troubles so many golfers disappears. Summary: Cock the club straight up, then let the rotation of your body tilt it onto the swing plane angle. And remember: With a quiet face comes consistency, and you quiet your clubface by cutting back on your forearm rotation.

Now you can see the blue on the back of his shirt, an indication that his body turn has begun to deepen and adjust the club on the plane angle. The arrow shows that the shaft is now pointing at his trail shoulder.

THE GOLF DOCTOR

How a big slice could help save your life Researchers at the University of Missouri have demonstrated that a sedentary lifestyle is not good for you. If you don’t move around during the day, your ability to process sugar correctly is impaired, and that has major implications for diabetes and heart disease. Instead of studying people who are inactive as other researchers have done, Dr. John P. Thyfault and his colleagues selected a group of highly active subjects who routinely took an average of 13,000 steps a day, well above the guideline for maximum health. It’s dangerous to have long-lasting blood sugar spikes after every meal, but these subjects had no

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

spikes because of their movement profile. Then they were asked to change only one element of their behavior, i.e., they became sedentary, and with no exercise the subjects’ blood sugar began to spike. The good news is that as soon as they resumed their active lifestyles, their spiking disappeared. The takeaway: Walk for 18 holes on a regulation golf course and you’ll come very close to the recommended 10,000 steps for good health. Slice the ball all over the place and you’ll be even healthier with all that extra walking. Looked at this way, your slice might be a score wrecker, but it’s also a life-saver!

TROUBLE SHOTS

Go ahead and make a splash! Problem: Your ball has landed in an inch of water at the edge of a water hazard. Solution: You have a choice. You can take a drop along with a one-shot penalty, or you can try to hit the ball out of the water with no penalty other than getting wet. Here’s how to carry out the latter option: Play it like a bunker shot. Step into the water with your right foot (for right-handers) so that the ball will sit in the middle of your stance, then step in with your left foot so that you’re slightly open to the line you want the ball to travel on. (Don’t forget to take your shoes off.) Keep more of your weight on your lead side and use a very firm grip because the water will exert a lot of resistance. Lay the clubface open slightly, and once you’re comfortable, take the club back on a steep angle — start cocking your wrists as soon as you take the club back — and then bring the clubhead down hard into the water an inch behind the ball.

Who’s the best athlete on the PGA Tour? Here are the top 10, as determined by a Golf Digest poll of 66 tour players: 1. Gary Woodland 2. Dustin Johnson 3. Tiger Woods 4. Ricky Barnes 5. Camilo Villegas 6. James Driscoll 7. Will MacKenzie 8. Sergio Garcia 9. Jamie Lovemark 10. Adam Scott It’s surprising to me that Tiger Woods is not No. 1, but then the criteria for being judged an “athlete” is not stated. According to The Free Dictionary, an athlete is: “A person possessing the natural or acquired traits, such as strength, agility and endurance, that are necessary for physical exercise or sports, especially those performed in competitive contexts.” By this definition, the top athlete should be Tiger. He benches more than 300 pounds, trained with the Navy SEALs, and at the AT&T National Pro-Am he successfully elbowed announcer Roger Maltby out of the way to secure first place in the buffet line. OK, I made that last one up, but even without it, Tiger is The Man when it comes to being top athlete. WHAT SCIENCE SAYS

Aging tee shots Think you’re too old to hit it as far as those young kids? Well, think again, because science says you’re just as long as you used to be, at least according to researcher Jason Meisch in his article “How Age Affects Your Swing.” He studied 263 males of all ability levels using 3-D software and found that “looking at the data that was collected, there is nothing that stands out as something that age significantly impacts in the golf swing, when looking at the velocities, energy transfer between body parts, timing of the swing or x-factor.” Which reminds me of the boxer who comes back to his stool all bloody and battered, and his trainer says, “You got him now. He can’t lay a glove on ya,” and the boxer says, “Well, you better check the referee because somebody is beating the crap out of me.” If it’s not age, then check the referee because something is making me 50 yards shorter!

GOLF SPOKEN HERE

Scoop

To scoop the ball into the air by flipping your hands at the ball. This most often happens on pitch shots where you have to carry the ball next to the flag. A famous example is Hunter Mahan’s scoop shot that lost the last Ryder Cup for the U.S.

ASK THE PRO Q: You’ve written about working the ball, but you didn’t say anything about when to do it. What’s the strategy? — T.R. A: For full-swing shots, working the ball can be used to negotiate pins tucked behind bunkers and water hazards. Rather than aiming straight at the flag and running the risk of landing in trouble with a pull or a push, aim at the center of the green, and configure your setup to move the ball toward the flag. If your shot shape is correct, you’ll knock it close; if you hit it straight, you’re in the middle of the green; and if you pull your shot, the worst you’ll have is a lag putt from the other side of the green. When the flag is in the back of the green, aim for the middle of the green and bring your shot in low and running to the flag. When the flag is in the front of the green, aim for the center and bring your shot in high so it will either spin back to the pin or stay where it lands, giving you a makable putt for your next shot.

‘Game’ on

Stark clan returns to fight for the throne in HBO series By Andrew Warren TV Media

he beginning of April may be just a couple of weeks into spring, but fans of HBO’s hit “Game of Thrones” may be thinking that winter is coming. “Winter is coming” are the words often spoken by the Starks, one of the noble families vying for power in the titular game. Premiering on Sunday, April 1, the second season of the extremely popular fantasy epic, based on author George R. R. Martin’s bestselling “A Song of Ice and Fire” book series, promises to deliver more of the breathtaking action, forbidden relationships and unexpected plot twists that made the premiere season a runaway success.

The television show takes its name from the title of the first book in the series. The story follows several noble families as they jockey for position and power in a high-stakes game where, as Queen Cersei Baratheon cleverly observed in the first season, “You either live, or you die.” And that wasn’t just hyperbole on her part. This game of thrones is a deadly one, and viewers were shocked by the death of a major character only part way through the first season, making it obvious in one shocking moment that in this fairy tale, the good guys do not always win. Season 2, which was announced after only two episodes of the first season had aired, expands the already epic scope of the first season.

Kit Harington stars in “Game of Thrones”

JJ Guns 2 x 2”

Civil war has erupted in the fictional realm of Westeros following the death of King Robert Baratheon, and five claimants to the Iron Throne have taken up arms. Several new actors are joining the cast as the scope of the story expands, including Stephen Dillane, who plays the late king’s self-righteous and ruthless brother Stannis, and Carice van Houten, who plays a mysterious sorceress who holds him in her thrall. HBO is certainly no stranger to sweeping historical sagas. “Rome,” which aired from 2005 to 2007 on the network, featured period weapons, armor and battles. But whereas that show used the Roman empire as its source material, “Game of Thrones” is a different beast all together, weaving fantasy elements into its medieval plot lines, a tactic that is often risky with television audiences. With “Game of Thrones,” though, it seems to have paid off: the series was nominated for 13 Emmys and snagged two wins, including a Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series trophy for Peter Dinklage. “Hopefully, it will give that genre a little bit more respect,” said Dinklage backstage at the awards show after snagging the win. The actor plays Tyrion Lannister, the youngest son of one of the most powerful lords in the realm, who uses sarcasm and wit as his weapons in a society that looks down on him and his dwarfism.

‘Rock’ and roll: Betty White hosts new hidden-camera prank series By Andrew Sawyer TV Media

verybody loves Betty White. She’s been on television for almost as long as it has existed, and yet she’s never been more popular -- or more busy. She does movies, commercials, she had a gig hosting “Saturday Night Live,” and she’s been popping up everywhere with guest spots on hit shows like “The Middle” and “30 Rock.” But White, who just turned 90 in January, shows no signs of slowing down. “Betty White’s Off Their Rockers” is her latest and greatest project, which premieres Wednesday, April 4, on NBC. The show follows a group of senior citizens as they hit the streets to pull the wool over the eyes of the younger generation. White serves as executive producer and on-camera host, and she will perform in comedy sketches and provide commentary on the pranks. “People have been telling me that I’m ‘off my rocker’ for years,” said White. “Now I can prove it!” A sneak preview of the series aired on Jan. 16, 2012, right after “Betty White’s 90th Birthday: A Tribute to America’s Golden Girl” -- a star-studded event that celebrated White’s long and illustrious acting career. In “Rockers,” the unsuspecting youngsters are placed in hilariously awkward situations -- like being propositioned by an elderly woman at an airport or being asked to sign a petition banning ugly people from reproducing. The concept originated from the Belgian series “Benidorm Bastards,” which has been internationally successful. And now it’s been adapted across the pond with America’s comedy sweetheart at

Sudoku Betty White and Reatha Grey in “Betty White’s Off Their Rockers” the helm. Hidden-camera comedies have done well over the years, from classic hits like “Candid Camera” to the more recent “Punk’d,” in which host Ashton Kutcher and his crew play pranks on other celebrities. But adding innocent-looking elderly pranksters into the mix is a new twist on the formula that is sure to make “Rockers” an instant hit. A multiple Emmy winner, White was bitten by the acting bug at an early age, with a career in front of the camera and on radio spanning back to the late 1930s. During the ‘50s and ‘60s, she was a recurring guest on popular game shows of the era such as “Password” and “Match Game.” She was the first woman ever to win an Emmy for hosting a game show, winning for her work on the short-lived show “Just Men!” She then catapulted to fame in the 1970s when she joined “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” as sarcastic and two-faced Sue Ann Nivens, a role that nabbed her two Emmys. Her next, and probably most wellknown, role was as Rose Nylund on

“The Golden Girls,” which enjoyed great success and ran from 1985 to 1992. She won another Emmy during the show’s first season playing the simple and sweet Rose, a role she continued to play on the shortlived spinoff “The Golden Palace.” In 2006, White experienced a comeback of sorts when she joined the cast of “The Bold and the Beautiful” as Ann Douglas, whom she played on and off until 2009. She also kept busy with several guest spots on hit shows like “Boston Legal” and “Community.” But it wasn’t until the 2010 “Betty White to Host SNL (Please)” Facebook campaign that things really started to heat up. After gaining an immense following, the campaign worked and White hosted “Saturday Night Live” in May 2010. It brought in the show’s highest ratings in years. Playing feisty house caretaker Elka Ostrovsky, White’s special magic has also drawn in impressive ratings for TV Land’s original scripted series “Hot In Cleveland,” currently in its third season. The series -filmed in front of a live studio audi-

White also has a deep love for all animals and has used her fame and fortune to promote pet health and welfare as well as wildlife conservation. In the 1970s, she hosted and produced “The Pet Set,” which featured celebrities with their pets. She’s also been involved with organizations such as World Wildlife

Fund and the Morris Animal Foundation. “Betty White’s Off Their Rockers” is the latest in a flurry of media featuring White, and it seems the public just can’t get enough. With her famous funny bone and impeccable comedic timing, the series is sure to win over audiences of all ages. Tune in Wednesday to see White’s gang of merry pranksters pull one over on today’s youth.

StarsonScreen By Sheila Busteed TV Media BITE MY TV: Imagine that you’re

in a murky river, and suddenly you’re attacked by a pack of predators that resemble giant piranhas, creatures with shark-like teeth that can tear flesh from bone and devour whole schools of fish in mere moments. That’s certainly enough inspiration for most people to stay out of the water. But Jeremy Wade isn’t most people. The British biologist, renowned fisherman and host of Animal Planet’s “River Monsters” is returning for a fourth season of the hit series, which will premiere this week. The first episode of the new season will air Sunday, April 1, but it’s the following episode that will certainly terrify fans. The April 8 episode, titled “Pack of Teeth,” will mark the first time that Animal Planet and 3net will simulcast a program together. What’s special about this is that 3net’s offering of the episode will be available in 3-D and feature an additional seven minutes of footage. The 3-D channel, which is available exclusively through DirecTV, launched last year as a

joint venture between Discovery Communications, Sony and IMAX. In “Pack of Teeth,” Wade travels to the Okavango Delta in southern Africa to test the rumors that these giant piranha-like fish actually exist and hunt in the river. Witnesses have testified to seeing the creatures attack schools of fish and that

they may even be inclined to feast on human flesh if the opportunity were to arise. “’River Monsters’ has viewers on the edge of their seats on Animal Planet, and just wait until they see it in 3-D,” said Animal Planet president Marjorie Kaplan. “We’re delighted to partner with 3net on this simulcast and can’t wait for Jeremy Wade to have ‘River Monsters’ diving into living rooms.” In the past three seasons, Wade has wrangled everything from the aggressive Hoplias amiara to the giant freshwater stingray and even a 500pound male bull shark. KELLY’S COMEBACK: As a

“River Monsters” returns for Season 4 on April 1

TV host, Kelly Ripa has a lot on her plate now that Regis Philbin has retired and left her to host ABC’s “Live! With Kelly” on her own. Guest hosts have helped to lighten her workload, but she’s apparently not afraid to take on even more in these busy times. TV Land recently announced that Ripa is returning as host of its annual TV Land Awards show. This year’s ceremony,

which marks its 10th anniversary, will be taped on Saturday, April 14, at the Lexington Avenue Armory in New York City’s Gramercy Park. The network will broadcast the event on Sunday, April 29. Ripa last hosted the event in 2007. This year’s ceremony will also feature a special presentation to the legendary Aretha Franklin, who will be honored with the Music Icon Award. “We are ecstatic to welcome back Kelly as she reprises her role as host of the ‘TV Land Awards’ this year for our 10th annual celebration,” said network president Larry W. Jones. “Her energy, enthusiasm and love of television

make her the perfect person to lead the evening.” The program is unique among award shows because it doesn’t just focus on current programming. Instead, it also pays tribute to shows and performers from the past and is known as the place where classic celebrity casts reunite. This year’s complete list of honorees has not yet been released, but past ceremonies have paid tribute to the likes of Michael J. Fox, John Travolta, Bill Cosby, Mel Brooks, Garry Marshall and Carl Reiner, as well as shows like “Cheers,” “The Cosby Show,” “Bosom Buddies,” “MASH” and “The Dick Van Dyke Show.”

MLB season starts with champs against new team By Joel Duplessis TV Media

aseball fans across the country will collectively rejoice this week as Major League Baseball officially opens its 2012 season with a prime-time matchup that’s packed with storylines. The world champion St. Louis Cardinals begin their title defense against the new-look Miami Marlins in the grand opening of Marlins Park, on Wednesday, April 4, on ESPN. Fans from coast to coast will be treated to a memorable opening night that features the World-Series champs squaring off against a revitalized team in a brand new stadium. Both the Marlins and Cardinals had busy off-seasons, retooling their lineups and replacing their managers. Cards manager Mike Matheny has the unenviable task of replacing a legend in Tony La Russa, while Ozzie Guillen will be looking to make a good first impression in front of the Marlins faithful. Fans in Miami will get a close look at the post-Pujols Cardinals, now being anchored by all-stars Matt Holiday, Lance Berkman and the newly acquired Carlos Beltran. The Marlins will be fielding a revitalized roster that features Jose Reyes and Heath Bell as they christen their brand new home at Marlins Park. The grass-surfaced park is the sixth MLB stadium to utilize a retractable roof, and it is the smallest with a seating capacity of 37,000. Located in Little Havana, the venue offers spectacular views of downtown Miami and will become an instant attraction. The Marlins will have history on their sides as five of the last six ballpark openers have been taken by the home team. Most recently, the Minnesota Twins defeated the Boston Red Sox when they opened Target Field to kick off the 2010 season. The season’s opening-day games will take place throughout the afternoon of Thursday, April 5, highlighted by the Red Sox at the Detroit Tigers. Bobby Valentine will be making his managerial debut for the Sox while Prince Fielder will play in his first game as a Tiger.
