Uncovering the Truth The history behind modern day Easter Traditions
by Scott Wise Star Staff Writer
With the celebration of Easter this Sunday, it brings to light a day that, while identified as a Christian holiday, is celebrated by people in and out of most religious circles. So why is Easter so crucial to the Christian faith? Why is it celebrated on a different date every year? And why is there a bunny that lays eggs? It’s our goal to debunk these questions and squelch any myths! Why is Easter so crucial to the Christian faith? Easter in its entirety is a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christians identify Jesus as the Son of God, who was crucified (the day we celebrate as Good Friday) and three days later rose from the dead. To a Christian, the act of rising from the dead was Jesus’ most powerful display of deism. He proved himself God by defying the laws of death. It is because of this resurrection that Christianity is founded as a religion based on a God who conquered death so that humanity as a whole would not have to die. Why is Easter celebrated on a different day every year? Easter was established in the year 325 A.D. as a moveable feast. It was determined that Easter would be celebrated the first Sunday after the full moon following the vernal equinox (the first Sunday after the first full moon in Spring). Because of this, the date of Easter itself can change yearto-year, ranging anywhere between
Thousands of youth from all across the county turn out for Jamestown’s annual Easter Egg Hunt.
March 22 and April 25. Because Eastern Christianity bases this on the Julian calendar, and Western on the Gregorian calendar, the actual date of Easter is celebrated differently in different denominations and cultures. Why is there a bunny? The Easter bunny is one that has come to represent Easter in a secular light, transferring the focus from Jesus to a symbol of fertility and antiquity. Rabbits represent fertile
creatures that naturally come out to breed heavily in spring (think Thumper, Bambi and ‘twitterpated’). This, combined with the ‘rebirth’ of nature after the winter, caused the bunny to be represented in Easter folklore, which led to our modern day ‘Easter Bunny.’ What about Easter Eggs? While the exact history of the Easter egg isn’t known, decorating hardboiled eggs for the special day gained
its roots in both Christianity and folklore. Eggs were usually decorated by boiling flowers to color water, then hanging the eggs in the house to ‘welcome Spring’ into the house. Eastern Orthodox churches colored these eggs red, paying homage to the blood of Jesus being shed on the cross. Folklore presented a bunny delivering colored eggs at Easter, and tradition brings us to what our eggdying customs are today.

Beach Balls and Boxes write about for this week’s commentary, the plethora of toys scattered across the floor brings to mind some key points in my childhood that I remember. I’ve often wondered why some moments in life stand apart as moments that we can remember in detail for the rest of our lives. I believe our memories were created to store the proper amount of information to shape us into the people we are today. I can’t remember everything that happened when I was 7 or 8, but little snippets stand out that I can remember and reflect on.
Scott Wise Commentary
As I look across my living room wondering what to
est memories are not of my toys growing up, but of the homemade stuff. The cardboard boxes, the blanket tents and the crafty inventions in grandpa’s basement; these are the things that stand out. It’s my goal to make sure that Joshua is well provided for. I’d give him a squeaky duck that’ll make that beautiful face light up even if it meant I didn’t eat for a day. He’s got plenty of toys on our flooranimals and trains and cars and balls. But the one that he seems to frequent the most is the ‘house’ that my wife made out of his car seat box.
As I watch our son, Joshua, grow up, my desire has become increasingly to shower him with love. I could spend all day long rolling around on the floor, running around the yard and telling him how great he is. He’s 16 months old now, so he can understand a good portion of it. I wonder which of the memories we make together he will remember for the rest of his life. I think some of my earliest memories are from when I was three, so he may still have a while to go. What does this have to do with toys? Some of my great-
He will run around, laughing and playing, throwing the balls around and saying ‘ball, Da! Ball!’ But when that little house catches his eye, the plastic expensive toys are thrown aside as he crawls inside and giggles to himself, looking out his window at the dogs. There’s a scripture that says (paraphrased) that God wants to give us so much more than what we want to give our children. I cherish being a parent because every day it opens my eyes to see more and more what His love for me must be like. I can’t imagine loving
someone more than I love my wife or our son, but He loves me more. At Easter, it’s my desire to reflect on that. To try to understand even more what God did when He gave us Jesus. We don’t celebrate the Easter bunny in our house, we celebrate Jesus. A bunny didn’t come to die for me, Jesus did. It’s funny how toys scattered on the floor can remind us of the important things in life.

Senator Catharine Young (R,C,I-Olean) announced today that she has secured $50,000 in the 2012-13 state budget for Chautauqua Lake cleanup efforts.The grant will be allocated to the Chautauqua Lake Association (CLA) for weed control under the invasive species program, Senator Young said. CLA officials said they are “all smiles” after Senator Young telephoned them with the news.“This grant will bring us back to our 2008 funding level, which is most gratifying in terms of state support. Senator Young worked incredibly hard to get this restored, and we’ve been blessed by the support of a variety of parties who have a long, lasting interest in Chautauqua Lake. This was wonderful news,” said CLA President Chris Yates. CLA Vice President Doug Conroe agreed. “There’s no other entity that does maintenance on the lake besides the CLA. There’s an overabundance of plant growth that needs to be dealt with, and that is through the harvesting method. This funding will go a long way to help with the problems the lake is facing. The senator is a fabulous supporter and she’s worked hard to do what she can. We’re very appreciative – all smiles,” Mr. Conroe said. Senator Young said combating Chautauqua Lake weeds was one of many priorities she established for her district during the budget negotiations, especially since she served on the environmental conserva-

summer for Chautauqua Lake because the weed problem was particularly bad due to dry, hot weather, plus lack of resources. The CLA board and staff, and volunteers from Cummins Engine worked hard to address the challenges, and they did a yeoman’s job,” she said. “Cummins really stepped up to the plate by donating $15,000 that funded the operation of CLA’s truck, barge and harvesting equipment. They also encouraged their employees to work four-hour shifts to clean 44 miles of lake shoreline. “Incredibly, by everyone pulling together, the CLA still was able to harvest over 3,700 tons of nuisance weeds,” she said. Senator Young said that she and Assemblyman Andrew Goodell have been working with Chautauqua County officials and the CLA since last fall to establish a lake cleanup work participation program to teach welfare recipients job skills so they can become self sufficient. She credited Assemblyman Goodell as a driving force behind the initiative, and said she is happy that County Executive Greg Edwards and social services staff are working to make the program effective. “I am thrilled that Senator Young could obtain this financial commitment that I wholeheartedly support to help out our lake association. The lake is such a valuable resource for our county and region. It is important that we work together with county government, private residents and the CLA to ensure that the lake remains healthy and in great condition,” Assemblyman Goodell said.

tion conference committee that hammered out spending plan details. “I fought hard to have these funds lined out in this year’s budget, and it is a victory that will help our local economy. Our small businesses and residents depend on having a healthy Chautauqua Lake because it brings so many revenues to our region, especially as a top summertime attraction,” she said. “Over decades, my predecessors Senators Jess Present and Patricia McGee, and I were able to obtain this annual grant for the CLA, but it was eliminated in 2009 and 2010 when New York City politicians took control over all of state government after Republicans lost the Senate Majority. Governor Paterson and the Senate Democrats diverted money that historically went to upstate projects into the downstate region,” Senator Young said. “Now that we are back in the Majority, we are bringing regional balance back to state government. We are working with Governor Cuomo to fix the damage to the economy that was created during that two year period, and we are making tremendous progress. Now, for the second year in a row, we have an on-time budget that reduces overall spending, stops tax hikes and promotes initiatives that create private sector jobs,” she said. Restoring the funds last year was impossible because the state was grappling with a $10 billion deficit, but she was determined to get positive results this year because of lake conditions, according to Senator Young. “It was a tough season last

Weekly Word
Keeping the Faith
Running like an Athlete
Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church of the Southern Tier
Christianity is not a hobby. It is not a social outlet or a routine of tradition. Christianity is union with God the Father and a relationship that endures tests. I have seen many people abandon their faith because times get hard. People lay down their faith and pick it back up again like they do with dieting fads. Christianity is not a way for self-made success. Success will come as we seek to please our Savior by loving Him in our choices. 2 Timothy 2:3-6 really puts things in perspective. Verse 5 says, “Similarly, if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not receive the victor’s crown unless he competes according to the rules.” The Bible is letting us know that our decision to follow Christ is like an athlete who has entered into a great contest. An athlete is someone who trains in a certain set of skills in order to perform better than an opponent. He is someone who practices over and over and expects to get stronger over the course of time.
First of all, an athlete doesn’t resent the rules of the game. He knows that he can’t change the rules so he performs within those rules to gain a reward. Today, Christians don’t like the rules so they try to bend them. They don’t think the principles of faith and judgment pertain to them. They think they can live a half commitment to the Lord and expect to be rewarded. That’s not true. Christians today have bought into the deception that the “institution” of church isn’t necessary. That’s a lie. You cannot love God and despise His children. The principle of the local church is not something you can overlook and still consider yourself faithful. The Bible calls the Church the “pillar of truth”, “church of the firstborn”, “Mount Zion”, “vineyard”, and the “candlestick”. God has invested the salvation of humanity into His Church. If you are without fellowship in a local church you are what the Bible calls “illegitimate”. (Heb 12:8) An athlete understands that he is performing against an adversary but he also understands that he is performing against a clock. An athlete un-
derstands that when the final whistle blows, his performance is over. He doesn’t have the luxury of being lazy forever. If the buzzer sounds and he is behind, he loses. There will be no added time. Understand this: The buzzer is about to sound. The return of Christ is getting ever so near. When the trumpet sounds and Christ appears in the eastern sky, you will have no more time to get things right. We are to live this life like we are in sudden death overtime. There should be urgency in the faith of every believer. Don’t get discouraged by trials. An athlete knows that every competition is another opportunity to use what he practiced. Failure is not an option for an athlete. We all face times when we feel we are becoming sluggish in spiritual things. When this happens, it’s time to pick up the knees and run hard again. Every athlete is finish line minded. Anyone can begin a race. But only those that cross the finish line receive the reward of their endurance.
The Tanglewood Group
Every stage of our life brings with it “new beginnings”, and some seniors have found the old saying “the best is yet to come” to be true! Something should be said for this generation of seniors who have worked hard, raised their families, and are not just sitting in their rocking chairs, but actively planning out the next chapter of their lives. They exhibit an independence and desire to be involved in deciding where and how they live out the rest of their lives, instead of waiting until the time comes when someone has to make the decision for them. For those who have chosen to simplify their lives and move into a retirement community,
their usual regret is only that they wished they had done it sooner. Imagine not having to worry about taxes, home maintenance, or upkeep ever again, and just being able to focus on the people and things you enjoy! The Tanglewood Group recognizes the desires of this forward thinking generation, and has created a place where people of similar age and life stories can enjoy being neighbors. Each custom built ranch style home in this neighborhood offers all the amenities you could wish for, and the security of knowing they are part of a community that cares. For more information about the newly built homes, please call Cheryl Evan, Director of Community Services at (716) 338-0500.
By Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church of Chautauqua County
Dear friend, I appreciate your honesty. It’s unfortunate that there is too much truth to your observation. Many people endure church and go out of obligation or guilt at Christmas or Easter, not because they enjoy it. Because church was “invented” by God, it’s important that we look to His Word to see what His original intent was and what He has to say about this topic.
The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 3:17 “Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” The Spirit of the Lord can also be called God’s presence. This scripture tells us plainly that wherever God’s presence is, there is liberty. Liberty means freedom and enjoyment. Psalm 16:11 tells us that in God’s presence there is also great joy! It’s God’s desire that when His children come to church that they would experience joy and liberty. Church should therefore be an exciting and uplifting experience! Some people believe (contrary to the truth) that church services should have the atmosphere of a funeral rather than a celebration.This is not God’s will. In the Old Testament God commanded His people to celebrate when they came together. In Nehemiah 8:10 the Bible speaks about these gatherings “For this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be you sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.” If the Old Testament folks were
commended to rejoice, how much more should we be rejoicing during services under the new, and better, covenant promised in the New Testament (Hebrews 8:6)? Acts 13:52 reveals that during church services in the New Testament “the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Spirit.” Today, some churches lack joy because they either don’t realize that God wants them to celebrate or they have a distorted view of God. If people believe that God is mad at them, there isn’t much to rejoice about. When folks understand that God is a good God and desires to bless us and provide for us, we can’t help but celebrate! Psalms 107:8 exhorts us, “Oh that men would praise the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!” Having this attitude is what makes church both exciting and rewarding!

Dear Pastor, my family wants me to go to church for Easter. I find it boring. Why should I go?
An Intro to the computing world
By Scott Wise Staff Writer
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 2: Computer Basics II Last week we covered a brief history of computers, and the basics of what to look for when purchasing a new computer. This will be our second and final week of the basics before getting into hands-on computing. We left off with RAM (random access memory) and its role in the computer. This week, we’ll pick up with the processor. According to Wikipedia, “The central processing unit (CPU) is the portion of a computer system that carries out the instructions of a computer program, to perform the basic arithmetical, logical, and
input/output operations of the system.” To translate, the CPU or processor is the brain of the computer. Think of what your own brain does. It takes in information given to it, through the eyes, ears, mouth, hands etc., and decides what to do with it. For instance, if I touch a hot tea kettle, my brain reacts by removing my hand from the tea kettle. A processor works in the same way, theoretically. You give it an instruction, it takes that and turns it into a process (hence the name, processor). Processors have shrunk in size but expanded enormously in capability, as with most things technological. There is a tremendous amount that a processor is required to do in today’s computers. As programs become more and more task-demanding. Processors operate at a certain speed, although there are no physical moving parts. The ‘clock rate,’ or the rate at which the processor can successfully process information, determines the speed and capability of that processor, which you will usually
see measured in hertz (or megahertz and gigahertz). This brings up an interesting point about computers that I wanted to bring up early in the column. Ask any IT tech, any person who owns a computer repair business (as long as you’re not the paying customer at the time- and they’re honest), and they will tell you that 95% of the problems people come to them with are completely preventable. I heard a funny quip the other day- “Myth: I hate my computer because it never does what I want it to do. Truth: I hate my computer because it does EXACTLY what I want it to do.” The processor will turn our commands, for better or worse, into a process. For those who THINK they know what they’re doing, this can result in a tremendous headache when your computer then goes on the fritz because you told it to do something that essentially destroyed it. The key to safe and effective computing is to slowly think through every step. This is probably easy for me to say, as I’ve been using computers
since I was 11, but it doesn’t have to be as hard as we make it out to be. People familiar with computers use them faster, and this can be intimidating to some. But, as with any trade, it comes with practice and experience. It takes me thirty minutes to change the oil in my car, something a pro could do in 10. I don’t let that intimidate me because I recognize it’s not my trade. If you’re someone who uses a computer to look at pictures of the kids (or grandkids), or send an email and log onto the internet, just master what you need to do. It is my desire that this column help you to perfect those steps. When we get the basics down, stop there and refresh yourself. Try it again and again until it becomes habit. It all comes through experience and practice- and you can and will get the hang of it! 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.

Early Spring Wreaking Havoc with Allergy Suffers
YWCA News By Katie Smith Contributing Writer
Penny Wars The YWCA After School Advantage program recently partnered with the WACS Key Club and held a penny war to raise money for the March of Dimes. In addition to collecting pennies, there was a Hat Day added to the week. At the end of the week the joint effort had raised $1,045.48, with individual class winners still being calculated. “Key Club has always raised money for the March of Dimes and this year we (the after school advantage program) decided to partner with them and pool our money,” said Ms. Michele Meleen, advantage coordinator. “We have also organized a Westfield Community Team to join the March for Babies walk on April 28, in Mayville. The link to register or donate is,http://www.marchforbabies. org/team/t1857962. School students, teachers, YWCA members and associates are welcome to make a donation or join in the walk. YWCA Yard and Rummage Sale Reservations continue to be taken for the April 28 rummage sale at the YWCA and donations of items for sale at the Y table are welcome. Individuals with items to sell can rent inside tables and space for $15, those interested in bringing their own tables and being outside can reserve a parking lot space for $10. “After spring clean up we expect people will have items they
would like to sell or items they can donate to the YWCA and we will sell them.” Reported committee member Eileen Thomas. “This event will help people clean out and help the YWCA raise money for our child services programs. In addition to the yard sale, we will be offering lunch to the vendors and customers.” She continued. Sale hours are 10 a.m– 4 p.m. People interested in renting a table or arranging to drop off donation items are asked to call the YWCA at 326.2011 for more information. Spring Vacation The YWCA administrative offices and all child services programs will be closed Friday, April 6 in observance of Good Friday. Youth Center will not be open on Thursday, April 5 or Thursday, April 12.Tumbling classes will not meet on Wednesday, April 4 or Wednesday, April 11. School age child care will be available during school vacation, April 2 – 13 but reservations are required. For more details on child services through the YWCA, please call 326.4012. Class participants in other YWCA sponsored programs are encouraged to check with their instructor regarding meeting dates during spring break.

in reserving specific dates and times must call and make reservations. Other use is on a drop in, available basis. Fitness Center YWCA Fitness Center remains open during building closings. Members in good standing, with valid visits on their account can access the center via their PIN code. Fitness hours will remain 5 a.m. – midnight throughout the vacation weeks. Members are welcome to contact the main office and check on their membership renewal date and number of visits on their account. Make and Take Based on interest, the YWCA is exploring the popular “Make and Take” classes again – with a new twist. Individuals would be invited to bring their craft supplies, the YWCA could provide some materials and class leaders would help the participants create something out of the supplies on hand. Right now the YWCA is looking for talented people interested in being group leaders and the individuals interested in creating something. “Once we gauge the interest level and determine who could teach these classes we’d set a schedule and move forward,” reported Michelle Sunday-Warner, administrative assistant at the Y. “Call, talk with us about your thoughts and ideas and we can complete the plans for this class.” She concluded. Those interested are encouraged to call the YWCA at 326.2011.

Those who have found themselves suffering with nasal congestion, watery eyes or other typical allergy symptoms this spring can take heart, you’re not alone. Dr. Michel Akl of Jamestown Asthma and Allergy estimates he has seen a 15% increase this year in the number of people in his office for treatment of seasonal allergies. Dr. Akl’s patients have usually gone the normal route for relief of their symptoms; first using over-the-counter medications, or visiting their primary care physician who then usually refers them to his practice. This may indicate that the number of sufferers is actually higher than the 15% increase he has seen in his office. Seasonal irritants have had an early peak this spring, says Akl and include pollen, grass and trees. In the fall, the typical culprits are ragweed, mold (which occurs both indoors and outdoors). According to Akl, a person’s genetic makeup along with build up of Immunoglobulin (IgA) antibodies is usually associated with allergy disorder. Each person needs to be exposed to an allergen a certain number of times to cause a reaction. The number of exposures differs from person to person and accounts for the various ages people first find themselves suffering from allergies.
When over the counter treatments such as Allegra, Claritin or nasal sprays have not helped to relieve symptoms, Akl may suggest the patient begin regular desensitization shots, which usually raises a person’s tolerance to allergens. Akl also suggests keeping doors and windows closed and use of an air conditioner and air purifier with a HEPA filter, as well as avoiding carpeting and using allergy covers for pillows and bedding. Naturopathic Treatments Aaron M. Smith, N.D. of Trillium Family Naturopathic in Jamestown says seasonal allergies (allergic rhinitis) and chronic rhinitis are common complaints in the offices of conventional and naturopathic doctors alike. “Generally we start by working with the diet. For individuals with seasonal allergies, it may be beneficial to avoid mucus forming foods such as refined sugars and dairy while allergy season is in peak.” Smith also says it may be beneficial for suffers to undergo a complete “elimination-rechallenge” diet to see if foods may be playing a role in their condition. He says in either case keeping a clean environment is paramount to keeping household allergens and irritants under control. “In naturopathic medicine, we believe in a concept called ‘total load.’ The body can only handle so many irritants, allergens and toxins at once. Once the threshold is reached, individuals start to develop symptoms associated
with allergies and may develop more and more allergies as a result.” Smith says by removing offending foods and keeping a clean environment, “we can start to decrease the total load of the body, and hopefully decrease the individual’s propensity toward allergic reactions.” Smith also recommends the use of a neti pot, irrigating the sinuses two to three times per day during the active allergy season. “I also use a combination of nutrients and herbs in these patients. I may choose from substances like quercetin, Vitamin C, freeze-dried nettles and flavanoids. Some homeopathics maybe useful such as allium cepa, euphrasia, and sabadilla. Individuals should keep in mind that homeopathy is highly individualized and that these commonly used homeopathics may not be the right one for everyone. Smith believes that both conventional and natural approaches are sometimes needed. “When natural means of controlling allergy seasons are not enough or compliance with natural treatments are an issue or the client is really suffering, I recommend someone consider seeing their primary care physician for further treatment recommendations.” He adds that antihistamines can help relieve suffering while natural modalities are being implemented.
WOMEN’S SECTION Scrapbooking Today Scrapping in the Sky
By Anne Walterich, Contributing Writer
Digital photography fascinates me. On a recent trip to Arizona, I took over 1,000 photos, which I could not have affordably or conveniently done with a traditional film camera. Not having to have film handscreened at the airport and wait for developing as well as the ability to crop and edit has revolutionized the way we photograph our vacations. Before returning home, I wanted to delete some of the less desirable shots so I would not be overwhelmed when it came time to scrapbook. It would be a great way to eliminate some of the inevitable boredom that comes standard on a long flight. My laptop only has limited battery life, so I couldn’t get through too many before it was time to turn off the computer. Yet, even up in the air, I was still able to scrap some of them on my iPhone. I had downloaded some free apps while waiting to board the plane. With a few selected photos on my phone and new
digital products to explore, I could at least get some preliminary pages done. Frametastic: You choose from 18 free templates (with the option to purchase 18 more), add a theme (wood, sports, wedding, beach vacation, museum, roses) to the frame, and choose your pictures. Then, you can edit, apply effects, change the border color, and either save, tweet, email or Facebook your layout. Pic Collage: First, you choose your photos. Then, you drag, layer and resize them. To edit an individual photo, you simply tap on it and can draw with your finger, enhance, add effects and adjust the brightness and sharpness. You can add stickers and add background papers as well. This app gives you the option to print your layout as a 4” X 6” postcard, add a message to it and mail anywhere in the world. Z Photo Lite: You add a name to your album first, then add your photos one at a time. You can only resize and drag your photos around, and can’t change the background,
font or title placement. Also, the album can only be saved to your phone, and not sent directly from the app. More options are likely available in
the full version. Storie: This app is designed for online story sharing. You add a title and tags to your page first, then either take a
new photo or choose from your library. Next, you move and crop your photo and have the option to add blur and edge softness on the next page. In the Photo Lab, you can add effects with some presets (Postcard, Sepia, Soft, Vintage Black & White, Retro and Lomo X-Pro). Finally, you add a caption and share your final scene with the world. I liked the Instagramlike Postcard effect and was disappointed that I could not save the photo with this effect to my phone and only had the option to upload it. Collage Day: First, I chose my background paper from 26 options and changed the color from a wheel. Then, I added a frame, chose my photo, cropped it with a square preset, enhanced and brightened it and played with the freehand pen before adding text in my choice of fonts. I saved it but also could have sent it as an email. Overall, these were fun to play with, but I wouldn’t use them as my main way to scrapbook. It’s nice to be able to make some changes and share some pictures online without
having to unpack my laptop, but none of these apps would create an award-winning page. They’re a great way to do some tweaking and even make your own postcard, however for digi-scrapping I prefer using my computer. Still, being able to scrap while flying the friendly skies beats reading the SkyMall magazine any time, even from my tiny phone. Just not 1,000 photos at a time. This week’s pick: Groupon. com, a great way to save on products and services. I was able to save 50% on a guided tour of Sedona, AZ and discover new, fabulous rock formations to photograph. I’ve also found a new dentist at home by using this service. Anne Walterich is the owner of Sunset Scrapbooks, a photo preservation and album design service. When not trying out new scrapbooking apps and writing weekly columns on airplanes, she can be found with her tray table in an upright and locked position at SunsetScrapbooks.com.

The Corner Coffeehouse By Dusten Rader Entertainment Editor
VSK Emporium in Frewsburg gies is a place where people can find gifts and feel nostalgic - while exploring the massive a collection of unique antiques n and treasured moments. When guests feel a rumble in - their stomach they can take a al’s moment to stop by The Corner Coffeehouse to recharge. The Corner Coffeehouse e opened two weeks ago and the has been well received by per the community and patrons gy of VSK Emporium. The na- shop is operated by Joe and in April Glarner. Joe also runs e the Glarner Group Produce- tion Studios and After Dark d Entertainment located on the me second floor of VSK Empoul rium. “I chose to open the coffee- house because I found that nd there weren’t many places in the area that offered organic se and all natural options,” said h- Joe. “We’ve been striving for e quality over quantity. So, we spend the extra money on organic and all natural products because we feel we’re helping the community by offering them a place to eat that’s healthy. We’re also trying to educate people about what they are putting in their nce bodies.” e an suf- The market for organic and one all natural products has been ary growing for the last decade according to Joe. It is somens.” thing that people are starting es to look for but are forced to only enjoy it at home because e there aren’t many restaurants that provide it. “Animals from organic farms are healthy, happy and are being fed the things that they are supposed to eat,” said Joe. “So, you know what you’re digesting is what God intended you to eat. You can feel better about what you’re eating and we feel better knowing what we’re serving.” But, not only is Joe striving for a health and nutrition factor but he also believes the flavor of raw unprocessed food tastes better when prepared well. That belief has led him to starting a dinner club that meets on Saturday evenings to enjoy an organic all natural gourmet feast with others who are looking for the same thing. “The dinners will feature a Mediterranean, french and Italian oriented bistro style flair,” said Joe. “We hope to offer classic meals that are done the right way and are affordable. It’s a members only club but if you’re a member you can bring as many guests as you want. It is $25 to join

and your first meal is free. I imagine we’ll start out with somewhere between six and eight items to choose from including things like freshly from scratch made pastas and sauces, sirloin steak, herb crusted salmon, wild raised cod, crab cakes and more.” Guests are asked to reserve a
table and preorder if possible before the dinners take place. That allows Joe to know what and how much to order. The dinner club is an idea that is based on customer demand. So, if customers are asking for the dinners then more will be hosted. During regular business hours
the restaurant serves a variety of breakfast and lunch options as well as specialty drinks and dessert. The coffee featured is from Finger Lakes Coffee Roasters and is also fair trade and organic certified. “We wanted to create a place that could build a reputation for offering quality food, mu-
sic, art and in an atmosphere where guests can relax and feel comfortable,” said April. The quality food starts in the morning with items like the Eggs Benedict that includes an English muffin topped with Canadian bacon, oven poached egg, homemade Hollandaise sauce and asparagus. There are also flapjack’s that are served with compound cinnamon honey butter, homemade whipped topping and a choice of syrup or fruit topping. A number of omelets, frittatas and scrambles are also available. The quality continues on through lunch to include sandwiches made with organic meat, organic greens mixed into salads and an option for gluten free bread. Each sandwich has a unique name based on the locale. Some include The Chautauqua Chicken that includes organic chicken breast, honey raisin glaze, Canadian bacon, provolone, spinach and cranberry mayo and the Frew Gobbler that includes organic turkey breast, lettuce, tomato, red onion, mixed greens, provolone and cranberry mayo. There are even vegetarian options like the Stan Sandwich that includes sprouts, onion, spinach, tomato, provolone, cranberry mayo and served on wheat bread. Whether guests are stopping in for a bite to eat or to explore VSK Emporium there is plenty to do in order to make a day trip out of the experi-
ence. VSK Emporium opened four years ago and has grown quite significantly over that time. It started out as just Kit ‘N Kaboodle and has grown to house 6 businesses: Kit N’ Kaboodle, a 50 plus vendor Flea Market, The Corner Coffeehouse, Faded Elegance, The Creative Mind and Glarner Group Production Studio. So, there is something for everyone of any age to enjoy. “Everyone here has become like family,” said Joe. “It’s a family oriented building that accommodates families. There is more of a shopping experience here than just going to a store. Plus, with all the local artwork for sale and with us sourcing from local producers supporting us is supporting the community.” With only two weeks under their belt Joe and April are already making plans for the future of the Corner Coffeehouse. One thing April plans on doing is making the outside nice for people to enjoy a meal outdoors. She also hopes to start an open mic night and wants more artists to display their work in the shop. So, stop in soon to experience good food that is good for the body in a business that is good for the community. The Corner Coffeehouse is located at 54 West Main Street in Frewsburg and is open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. For more information call 716-5696547 or visit vskemporium. com.

Live at the Met Season Features Massenet’s Native Roots Artists Guild Presents “Expressions of Origins and Meanings” Exhibit Manon at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House By Dusten Rader
Contributed Article
Entertainment Editor
1891 Fredonia Opera House
Chautauqua County has been home to many Native American cultures including the Hurons, Iroquois, Eries, Senecas and the Neutral Nations. However, one culture that hasn’t received much exposure is the Haudenosaunees. But, two years ago an artists guild was formed to promote Haudenosaunee and other Native American culture’s artwork. The guild will host its second annual art exhibit this April. The Native Roots Artists Guild is in its second year of operation. The program was started to maintain a support network for Native Haudenosaunee artists, to perpetuate native culture and to promote community awareness and appreciation of native arts. According to the program’s mission statement it seeks to ensure the beauty, quality and collectability of authentic Indian arts and crafts making each piece of artwork a unique reflection of Native American heritage. “One of our current goals is to work on exposing our artists to a bigger audience,” said board member Mary Jacobs. “Many of our artists take an art business class that taught them marketing skills, how to set up a booth at an art fair, legal aspects and how to use social media. The little things that worked long ago don’t anymore so it’s important to learn to use what is available now to market our work.” Jacobs is involved in the planning of the project and is also an artist herself. Some of her work including beadwork, traditional clothing, accessories and home décor will be on display at the event. Her three daughters are artists as well and her middle daughter’s work will be at the exhibit. Her youngest daughter is currently in college and entered a contest focused on promoting awareness of breast cancer that she submitted a beaded bra and ended up winning. The reason she entered was because Jacobs is a breast cancer survivor herself. “She found an opportunity to express herself in a way that was important to her and use her beadwork,” said Jacobs. Other art that will be featured at the event includes pottery, bead work, baskets, carvings, paintings, tattoos, fashion design and more. The art available at the event will include a mix of traditional and contemporary work for
The 1891 Fredonia Opera House continues the 2011-12 season of Live at the Met high definition opera broadcasts from the Metropolitan Opera with Jules Massenet’s Manon, on Saturday, April 7, at 12 p.m. “We’re very excited to be participating in our first full season of live opera transmissions; there’s something very exhilarating about presenting the broadcasts as they are being performed live at the Met,” says Opera House Executive Director Rick Davis. “And this week’s offering, Manon, is one of the genre’s most popular and enduring operas.” Manon is the story of a country girl with conflicting desires for love and luxury who is drawn into a life of glamorous – but hollow – Parisian sophistication. The production features star soprano Anna Netrebko singing her first Met performances of the title role. Piotr Beczala co-stars as the Chevalier des Grieux, a young nobleman who falls in love with Manon; Paulo Szot sings the role of Lescaut,

viewing and purchase. Much of the work features a Haudenosaunee flair that focuses on the traditions and beliefs of the culture hence the name “Expressions of Origins and Meanings”. “Haudenosaunee actually means ‘people of the longhouse’,” said Jacobs. “Their beliefs and culture are reflected in their artwork. You’ll see things like our ‘Tree of Peace’ which is the story of how our people came to be. You’ll notice the ‘Tree of Peace’ with our hatchets buried underneath it. Plus, our people come from all four directions so the tree’s four roots represent that. Those kinds of symbols are in a lot of the work we have. So, it’s a good way to explain to other territories why it is significant to us.” The name of the exhibit “Expressions of Origins and Meanings” was chosen based on the Haudenosaunee creation story. The story includes a dome figure that is also featured in much of the artwork. “Expressing the symbols of our creation story in our artwork is important so that we can tell other people about the story,” said Jacobs. The exhibit will be located at the William Seneca Administration building on Route 348 in Irving and will be open from Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. starting on April 10.
“The William Seneca Administration building is a convenient location for us because we’re able to utilize the building and it is a central location for many of the artists,” said Jacobs. “The building is located on the reservation so people come for that but also from other parts of the U.S. for business. We get a lot of traffic here so we figured it would be the perfect venue for our artwork.” The guild also plans on hosting a Weekend Vendor event on Saturday, April 14 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. where the public will have the opportunity to meet the artists and purchase from them. “There are 54 members in the artists guild and we’re hoping they all come to the vendor weekend,” said Jacobs. “Many artists actually get commission work out of being a vendor at the event because people come in and see something they like that they want to have made for themselves.” There will also be an event during the first week of August called the Buffalo Creek Native Festival located at the wharf in downtown Buffalo. Stay tuned for more information on the event as the date gets closer. Or, call the Seneca Nation Tourism Department at 716-549-4900.
Manon’s protective cousin who struggles with temptations of his own; and David Pittsinger sings the Comte des Grieux, who wants his son out of Manon’s arms and into a respectable future. Met Principal Conductor Fabio Luisi leads Massenet’s passionate opera, seen in a stylish new production by Laurent Pelly that was a sensational hit when Manon opened at London’s Covent Garden in 2010. The New York Times hails Netrebko’s performance: “With her rich, gleaming sound and vocal charisma, [Netrebko] was a Manon of rare intensity and emotional depth … Mr. Beczala’s ardent, virile voice sounded wonderful.” The Associated Press also praises the production. “Netrebko’s full-blooded, vocally virtuosic Manon is at first surprising in a role usually sung by lighter, more delicate voices…but the Russian soprano’s supercharged voice is a fine fit for a production that paints a picture of ravishing Paris – with a knife in it.” The broadcast runs four hours, five minutes, notes Davis. “There are two 30-minute intermissions,” he adds, “during which the Opera House
will have snacks, beverages and box lunches available for purchase in the trustees room on the second floor of Village Hall. (No food or beverage is allowed inside the theatre.)” Live at the Met opera broadcasts are made possible by Dr. James M. and Marcia Merrins, who funded the purchase of the satellite transmission and projection equipment used in the series. Additional support comes from Bob and Shirley Coon, Bob and Susan Dilks, Steve and Mary Rees and DFT Communications. Tickets to Manon are $20 ($18 for Opera House and Met members, $15 for students) and are available in advance by visiting or calling the Box Office at 716-679-1891, Tuesday-Friday, 1-5 p.m. They also may be purchased anytime online at www.fredopera.org. Chautauqua County’s only performing arts center presenting its own programming year-round, the 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a member-supported not-forprofit organization located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia.

Pulitzer Prize Winner to highlight lecture series
Contributed Article
A Pulitzer Prize winning author will be coming to Chautauqua County this summer to discuss the War of 1812. Dr. Alan Taylor will appear at the Dunkirk Lighthouse on Thursday, June 14 as part of the Chautauqua County Historical Society’s 2012 Speaker Series. Taylor is a noted historian who won the Pulitzer Prize for American History in 1996 for his book on Cooperstown, N.Y. and who’s most recent book deals with the War of 1812. “We are extremely honored to have a speaker of this caliber coming to Chautauqua County as a guest of the historical society,” said James O’Brien, historical society president. “Dr. Taylor is a nationally known historian who brings a wealth of knowledge and information to the table. To have him come here to Chautauqua County during the 200th Anniversary of the War of 1812 is a very exciting occasion for area residents interested in American history.” Taylor will deliver his lecture - entitled “The Civil War of 1812” – at the Dunkirk Lighthouse on the shore of Lake Erie. It is a fitting location because one of the first skirmishes of the war is believed to have taken place less than a mile to the west of the lighthouse, near the mouth of Canadaway Creek. “The society’s board of trustees wanted some of this year’s programming to focus on War of 1812, not only because it is the bicentennial but also because of the war’s connection to our own local history,” explained O’Brien. Taylor’s presentation will focus more on the regional impact of the war. He plans to present a world of conflicting loyalties and overlapping identities in the midst of a war that divided neighbors and relatives on both sides of the Niagara River two hundred years ago. In addition to his appearance, copies of his latest books – “The Civil War of 1812: American Citizens, British Subjects, Irish Rebels, & Indian Allies” – will be made available for purchase and signing by the author. The lecture, which is in collaboration with the Dunkirk Lighthouse and Dunkirk

4-H to Certify New Tractor Operators Tractor Safety Certification class to be held in April
Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County’s 4-H Program will conduct a Tractor and Farm Machinery Safety Certification Course for area youth age 14 and older. Sessions include both classroom- style lessons and hands-on opportunities for all participants. Experiences learned in this course will help prevent injury and save lives. The HOOA (Hazardous Occupations Order in Agriculture) law states, in summation, that all 14-15 year old youth who are seeking employment in the agricultural industry must receive the training as required by the U.S. Department of Labor. The only exemption for youth working on they’re own farm. The HOOA was originally promulgated in January 1968. When youth become 16 years of age, this law no longer applies to their employment; however certification provides valuable knowledge and safety tips for all ages. You can learn more about state regulations by visiting the U.S. Department of Labor’s Youth and Labor: Agricultural employment webpage: www.dol.gov/
dol/topic/youthlabor/agriculturalemployment Agriculture is a very dangerous industry and at many agricultural worksites there are hazards associated with: -Equipment operation -Crop and livestock production -Agricultural Buildings -Chemical use and storage -Highway transportation Tractor Safety certification Training will prepare a student for dealing with the hazards and risks in agriculture. Certification also provides youth greater opportunity in obtaining employment. Cornell Cooperative Extension’s 4-H Tractor and Farm Machinery Safety Course instructs participants in a safe and welcoming environment that fosters growth, insight and learning. This course not only allows youth to drive a tractor and trailer, but requires that they also learn the correct and safe way to hook-up to farm equipment, back up trailers, and drive farm machinery.

Conservation Education Marks Forty Sixth Year
Cornell Cooperative Extension’s 4-H Program to Conduct Conservation Field Days Contributed Article Cornell Cooperative Extension
Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County’s 4-H Program is proud to announce the forty sixth Annual Conservation Fields Days Event, which will be held on Wednesday, May 23 and Thursday, May 24, from 10 a.m. to 1:25 p.m. at Lake Chautauqua Lutheran Center in Bemus Point, NY. Remembered by many as one of the greatest fifth grade field trips in the county, Conservation Field Days provides Chautauqua County youth an opportunity to learn about environmental conservation issues “beyond classroom walls.” Conservation Field Days began in 1966 under the inspiration of James Gould. Mr. Gould was the Cornell Cooperative Extension Director that organized and implemented the very first Conservation Field Days. Conservation Field Days invites all Chautauqua
County fifth grade students to participate in seven sessions concerning conservation. This year 4-H is excited to have returning subject matter experts whom will be teaching lessons related to conservation and the environment. 4-H is also seeking new instructors to teach engaging and interactive twenty minute presentations that relate to conservation. Some current topics include trapping, fishing, recycling, beekeeping, soil and water conservation, grapes, wild flowers, bugs, rabies, baby animals and many more. Conservation Field Days provides a unique opportunity for adults to share their passion, knowledge, and talents with Chautauqua County students. Conservation Field Days is just one of many programs available through the Chautauqua County 4-H Youth Development. Program activities and events are designed to provide children with quality youth development opportunities that otherwise may not
be available or accessible. Cornell Cooperative Extension development programs create a supportive learning environment in which diverse youth and adults reach their fullest potential as capable, competent, and caring citizens. Through 4-H programs youth experience opportunities of positive youth development including independence, belonging, generosity, and mastery. Conservation Field Day attendees are encouraged to interact with colleagues and adult instructors in learning about our environment and conservation. Youth may be asked by instructors to solve problems, work through a scenario, and/ or observe natural occurrences. Youth are encouraged to reflect on their experiences at Conservation Field Days through a county-wide essay contest sponsored in conjunction with Chautauqua County Soil and Water Conservation District.

to remember that we have to depict the scenes according to Bible times, only using elements or representations from that time period. This is hard for some members of our art team.” The creative team has closely evaluated last years experience and has updated a few scenes, deleted some and added a few new scenes with the idea of tugging on the heart strings of their guests. Courtney Johson, Drama Director, identifies the goal of sparking emotion with the passion of each scene. “This experience is not for young children unless parents are confident that their explanation can bridge the graphic nature of some scenes,” states Johnson. “We’ve made some changes in the drama component since last years experience,” said Johnson. “I’m scheduling the drama with the twelve disciples in the upper room seven times, which is six more times than last year.” Pullan chimes in, “I designed that scene anticipating fifty guests in attendance. When two hundred fifty guests arrived I cried tears of joy. This year, more guests will have the opportunity to commune with the disciples. All scenes have a drama component every time the scene is presented, notes Pullan. Hillcrest is very thankful for their church family that has stepped up to service in this experience. One of those faithful persons is Dan Swenson, Scene Artist, who approached Pullan with the energy of passion “this year we need to walk through the empty tomb. People need to get the message. The tomb is empty. He is risen.” Last year a core team of twelve volun-
teers did the work of twenty five. This year, Hillcrest is praying for fifty volunteers as the logistics of moving people through the scenes, and casting all the drama is overwhelming at times. “Even though area churches have loaned costumes in the past, we’re starting to construct our own to be more selfsufficient,” remarks Courtney Johnson. “In the future, Hillcrest looks forward to expanding this experience to include other churches and potentially relocating the experience to a larger community space as the Lord leads”, states Hinman. In conclusion, Todd Pullan, Artistic Director reflects, “our experience last year may have missed the mark. We may have rushed our guests limiting their personal application time as their heart, mind, and soul connected with each scene. This year we will guide our guests as before and offer a lingering bench in each scene for personal contemplation. Guest will reconnect with their party at the conclusion of the experience,” states Pullan. The Dust of the Rabbi - a walk in the footprints of Jesus, an experiential opportunity to connect to the passion events of the Easter story is Good Friday, April 6, and Saturday, April 7, at 6:00, 7:00, and 8:00 pm and Easter Sunday, April 8, at 12:30 pm. The experience will close Easter Sunday, April 8, at 2:00 pm. This is free to the community.

He was guest ensemble director at the Erie County Music Educators Association jazz festival and appears frequently with the Buffalo Philharmonic Pops and at Chautauqua Institution. He has toured and recorded with the Stan Kenton Alumni Band and was a featured soloist at the Los Angeles Jazz Institute’s 2007 Jazz Festival with the Los Angeles Neophonic Orchestra, the Cal State Long Beach Jazz Ensemble, and the Maynard Ferguson Alumni Band.

The Jamestown Community College board of trustees authorized college officials to move forward with a proposed new Associate in Applied Science degree in early childhood education during the board’s March meeting. The proposal, which has already been reviewed by the college’s faculty, now moves on to both the State University of New York and the New York State Education Department for the next stages of approval. According to Mary Kay Szwejbka, associate professor and director of teacher education, the proposed degree is intended as a career-oriented option for students seeking employment in an entry level early care and education setting.
“Someone who completes this two-year degree could be eligible for a position as an assistant teacher or lead teacher, depending on the setting,” she said. “This would also be a great opportunity for currently employed early care and education professionals wishing to upgrade their skills and position themselves to move up the ladder.” Dr. Szwejbka distinguished the proposed degree from JCC’s current Associate in Science teacher education transfer degree program in early childhood education which is designed for students intending to transfer to junior level status at a four-year college or university to earn a bachelor’s degree and state teaching credentials. In describing the proposed degree, Eileen Brittain, associate professor of education at JCC’s Cattaraugus County Campus, noted that
the program includes fundamental study in the theories of child development including the environmental influences that impact specific milestone attainment in the biological, cognitive, and social-emotional areas. “Courses emphasize the key foundational influences of the family and the community on the development of the child including the wide diversity of family systems we currently find in society,” Ms. Brittain said. Dr. Zagora explained to the board that while courses that can be applied toward the proposed degree are currently being offered, JCC will be able to admit students into the program when both state level approval processes are complete, most likely in the spring of 2013.

SUNY Fredonia Technology Incubator Announces New Business Start-Up
State Budget Moves Toward Fiscal Responsibility Written By Todd J. Tranum President & CEO of the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce & Executive Director of the Manufacturers Association of the Southern Tier
For the second year in a row, New York State is beginning the fiscal year with an on-time budget that controls spending with no new taxes. The budget deal announced by Governor Andrew Cuomo, Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver limits spending growth to 2-percent or below to match the state’s 2-percent Tax Cap. This is a serious move toward improving our state’s economy. The state budget agreement also launches the New York Works Task Force to create jobs and invest billions to rebuild roads, bridges, parks,
and other infrastructure. The Task Force will coordinate capital plans across 45 agencies and authorities, and will oversee investment projects. The budget also authorizes a second round of funding for the state’s Regional Economic Development Councils, including $220-million to implement regional strategic plans in new capital funding and tax credits. One important aspect of the state budget is that it begins to provide mandate relief in Medicaid spending for counties. The package includes a state takeover of growth in the local share of Medicaid costs, and implements a phased takeover of local Medicaid administrative expenses. This is a big step towards easing the unfair financial burden on
county governments for the Medicaid program. The state is also moving to consolidate a number of boards and commissions, and in fact will eliminate 25 boards and commissions that are no longer actives or whose missions have been completed. These, too, are steps in the right direction for streamlining state government and reducing spending. Heather Briccetti, President & CEO of The Business Council of New York State, said, “This sends a strong message to the state’s business community and the rest of the nation that New York has turned the corner and is moving in a direction that will lead to a better economy and an improved employment outlook for millions of New Yorkers.”
Still Time to Save NRG The Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce and Manufacturers Association of the Southern Tier continue to urge all local businesses and residents to make their voice heard to save NRG Energy’s Dunkirk plant. Plans to “mothball” the facility could result in a loss to our region of up to $40-million in tax revenue, high-paying jobs, and locally purchased goods
and services. The New York State Senate has approved legislation which would require the New York Power Authority to conduct an analysis of electric generating facilities in Chautauqua, Erie and Niagara Counties and to enter into power purchase agreements to keep them operating. That bill still needs approval in the State Assembly and must be signed
by Governor Cuomo. There is still an opportunity to complete this legislation before lawmakers take a post-budget break. To lend your voice to this effort, call or email Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver at 518455-3791, speaker@assembly. state.ny.us and Governor Cuomo at http://www.governor.ny.gov/contact/GovernorContactForm.php.

Humane Society Adopt-A-Thon Shatters the 25 Pet Goal Submitted Article Chautauqua County Humane Society
The Chautauqua County Humane Society (CCHS) is thrilled to announce that the Pennies 4 Paws Adopt-a-thon held on March 23 and 24 at the Strunk Road Adoption Center with a simultaneous offsite adoption event at Shults Car Corner in Jamestown was a big success. Committed volunteers, dutiful staff members and the generosity of Shults Auto Group combined in extraor-
dinary fashion and the end result was 46 pets adopted out in just two days. Jeff Lubi, CCHS executive director, states, “During the course of the event all adoption fees were waived in order to make providing a home for a new pet affordable during tough economic times. It helped CCHS by decreasing the number of days each pet stayed at our shelter and opening up a space for a new homeless pet in need.” Every day an animal spends in our shelter adds to the overall cost.”
Dogs are shown during the Chautauqua County Humane Society’s Pennies 4 Paws Adopt-a-thon.
Staff and volunteers extended extreme efforts to prepare
the shelter and all of the available pets in hopes of an
influx of interested people. Promotional advertising for the event was made possible by Shults Auto Group and the car dealership also committed to donating $100 towards Pennies 4 Paws for every car sold during the event to offset the waived adoption fees. The community responded wonderfully by coming out in numbers to view pets and fill out the application for review. The original goal was to adopt out 25 pets and everyone involved was very excited to realize that 46 was the final count. CCHS extends a big thank you to all who helped
in this effort with special accolades to Shults Auto Group for making this possible. The Chautauqua County Humane Society is a nonprofit that is not part of any government organization and its mission to care for animals by promoting adoptions, preventing cruelty and providing education relies solely on public support.

Q&A
Bearded dragons tops among reptilian pets Q: Are bearded dragons good pets? — via email A: They’re arguably the best pets among reptiles and amphibians, especially for beginners. Affectionately called “beardeds” by their fans, these lizards are not only tame around humans, but many also seem to enjoy the contact. Even better, they’re relatively easy keepers, suitable for almost any pet lover or family situation. The name comes from the display the pet puts on when trying to act tough. The puffed-beard display is only used defensively to scare away potential threats. Along with puffing out, beardeds also flatten out their bellies to look wider, as well as leave their rather large mouths gaping open to intimidate the potential threat. Beardeds need human help to maintain their temperature in captivity, using heat lamps or warming pads. Beardeds do well with options, in tanks where some areas are cooler, some warmer, a range of 85 to 105 degrees by day, dipping down into the 70s at night. You’ll also need special lighting, since these reptiles need UVB rays to properly absorb dietary calcium. A full-spectrum light should be provided 12 to 14 hours a day most of the year, and 10 to 12 hours in the winter. Omnivores by nature, beardeds enjoy both plants and meat in their diet. Juveniles enjoy a carnivorous diet, while adults become primarily herbivores. All food given to a bearded should be shredded into easy-to-swallow, bite-size pieces. Beardeds live to be about 10 years old and will mature at 18 to 24 inches in length, including the tail. — Gina Spadafori Do you have a pet question? Send it to petconnection@gmail.com.
DEADLY DANGER
When snakes become active, it’s time to protect your dog By Gina Spadafori, Universal Uclick

Knowing where to pet can prevent a bite
Stay out of tall vegetation and keep your dog on leash to minimize the risk of a snakebite.
pring hadn’t even clocked in a full week before two dogs belonging to friends of mine were bitten by rattlesnakes. Both dogs survived and will recover fully, but the pain was significant — and so was the cost of treatment. Fortunately, most snakes aren’t all that interested in biting; they prefer to hide or skedaddle when faced with a threat. If they can’t escape, they’ll bite. That’s when dogs typically get bitten: They put their noses where they don’t belong, and instead of letting a snake slither away, they bother the reptile until it strikes. Dr. Tony Johnson, a veterinarian specializing in emergency and critical care, spent part of his career practicing in the dry, brushy foothills of Northern California — prime rattlesnake country. In his experience, terriers tended to be bitten more often than other dogs. “It’s almost always dogs and it’s almost always terriers,” he said. “Cats tend to be more cautious than dogs, and a terrier is more likely to put his nose where it will get him into trouble than many other dogs. And they don’t learn from the experience.” What can you do to protect your dog? Here are some tips: D Keep your dog on leash if at all possible. While that’s not possible for working dogs such as searchand- rescue or hunting dogs, it’s likely the safest strategy for all others. D Work with your dog to ensure he comes when called, so that if you hear or see a snake, you can get your dog away and allow the snake room and time to escape. D Stay on established trails instead of hiking through areas where snakes can hide. D Don’t allow your dog to burrow or otherwise try to tangle with wildlife. If he’s looking for trouble, he may find it. D Consider snake-proofing. Many hunters take their dogs through clinics where professional trainers expose the animals to caged snakes and use electronic shock to establish a negative association. The clinics are controversial, however, because of the use of pain in teaching dogs to fear the reptiles. Balancing risk vs. benefit is an owner’s judgment call. Signs of a bite include puncture wounds from the fangs of the snake, bruising, blood and a rapid swelling as well as severe pain. If you suspect your dog may have been bitten, end your outing and immediately get to a veterinarian — and call ahead, if at all possible, so the veterinary team can prepare. Your pet will need emergency veterinary care to address both the immediate dangerous of swelling and pain as well as the longer-term challenges, such as dead tissue and infection. Most dogs survive a bite, especially with prompt veterinary care. “There’s nothing you can do in the field to help your dog,” said Dr. Johnson, “certainly not cutting the wound or sucking the venom out. Just get to the vet.” It’s worth asking your veterinarian about vaccines that protect dogs from the venom of some snakes. But really, if you’re going to be hiking with your dog in areas that are perfect habitats for snakes, you’ll need luck as well as precaution. And, as always, know where to find a veterinarian when you have to, quickly.
Even the most reactive cats will usually tolerate petting behind the ears. • Some cats don’t like being petted, and may react with teeth and claws. To turn the situation around, work to eliminate the triggers for unwanted behavior while increasing your cat’s tolerance levels for being petted. Some kinds of petting are easier for cats to tolerate than others. For a highly reactive cat, restrict your caresses to behind the ears, under the chin or the base of the tail. Always stop before tail twitching shows that your cat is overstimulated. • Buying in bulk can make petfood budgets go further, a costcutting strategy already popular with many dog lovers. Nearly half of all dog owners buy kibble in either 20- to 40-pound bags or bags larger than 40 pounds, according to the American Pet Products Association. • Cat owners and even veterinarians often find it difficult to recognize when a cat is in pain. Cats are descended from small predators who instinctively know that if they show signs of illness, the hunter becomes the hunted. Subtle changes in a cat’s interactions with the family may be a clue that pain is present. Be on the lookout for unexpected hiding, irritability, lack of appetite or just plain weird(er) behavior. While you should never give human pain meds (even the over-the-counter variety) to your cat — they can be lethal — your veterinarian can help you to ease your pet’s pain with traditional and alternative medicine, as well as with strategies to help manage the cat’s environment to ease the hurt. — Mikkel Becker and Dr. Marty Becker

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — Leave it up to Thad Johnson to make a bigger name for himself in Frewsburg’s season opener. With a tie score of 3-3 between the Bears and Lake City High School (South Carolina) Monday afternoon, Johnson was called upon in the top of the seventh inning to keep the score level. He obliged. Johnson sat down the Panthers in order to quickly bring the Frewsburg bats back to the plate with a chance to win the game. Then the star senior, who has already committed to play at St. Bonaventure, drilled a walk-off homerun to give the Bears a season opening win. Johnson was 2-for-4 on the day, but came around to score three of the Bears four runs. Brent Johnson, Nick Mitchell, Dalton Peterson and Tage Johnson each had hits for Frewsburg, with Tage Johnson and Peterson’s coming as RBI-singles.

Injury Was Blessing For Adamczak
Sometimes an injury can be a blessing in disguise and that certainly can pertain to the career of Jim Adamczak. Adamczak, a Jamestown High School graduate, was playing for Sugar Grove of the Chautauqua County Baseball Association when he suffered an injury in 1957 that ultimately led to a fabulous softball career. He was batting when he caught his spikes on a corner of the plate, resulting in torn ligaments in his knee. That injury was so serious that he had to take six months off of work at Proto Tool. After recovering, Adamczak and his friends started playing softball in a neighborhood warehouse during the winter months. In the spring of 1958, Adamczak joined the New-Way Restaurant of the Rec Softball League as a pitcher and was very wild with an average of 14 walks per game. But Adamczak worked out daily during the winter to correct the control problem. Without a doubt, he mastered the problem quite well for the rest of his distinguished career. Known for his riser, which was in the neighborhood of 100 miles per hour, Adamczak averaged more than 17 strikeouts over a 10-year span in the 1950s and 1960s. He averaged 35 wins and only four losses while having numerous nohitters. He also batted at a .350 clip. Adamczak recorded his first no-hitter in 1959 when he pitched New-Way Hotel to a 14-3 verdict over the Lakewood Merchants. He fanned 18 and walked 11 in the nine-inning game. He first set an Industrial League nine-inning record with 25 strikeouts for IAM 1791 in 1963 and accomplished that feat again in 1964. In 1962, Adamczak hurled six wins in one day to win the Most Valuable Player award for Betts at the Duquesne Open in Warren. One of his top performances was having 47 strikeouts in two consecutive days with 25 against Chautauqua Hardware and 22 versus Green Brothers. Additionally, he came on in relief in a St. Mary's Tournament and fanned 17 of 20 batters. Another high was in the 1963 Great Lakes Tournament when he led Erie's Fulton Club with a 4-0 record with 15 strikeouts a game. That perfect record was the first time any team had gone through the event unbeaten. Speaking of perfection, it was in 1959 when Adamczak hurled his first perfect game against Wellsville while fanning 16 in a 3-0 win. He went
Movie Nights
on to hurl at least four perfect games. Adamczak led Skippy's Grill to the Rec Open League title in 1959 and then over the next three years he pitched National Worsted Club to three titles. He also led the Jamestown Merchants to a championship in 1963 and Stravato's Grill to another crown in 1964. Adamczak hurled the Jamestown All-Stars to a runner-up finish in the New York State championship against host Niagara Falls. He lost a heart-breaking 1-0, onehitter before 2,000 fans. Perhaps his most memorable performance was when the well-known pitcher Eddie Feigner of the King & His Court visited College Stadium in 1967 and Adamczak led the Jamestown AllStars to a stunning 1-0 win. Adamczak allowed the four-man team only two hits while fanning 17 and that win ended a long winning streak for the King & His Court. Feigner, meanwhile, whiffed 15. The tall right-hander played through 1975 and had more than 25 no-hitters over a 17-year career that covered more than 1,200 games while pitching for teams in Westem New York and in Pennsylvania. Some of the most memorable games of the early 1970s were when Adamczak pitched for Stravato's Grill and Ron Frederes hurled for See-Zurh House in the Social League. Those games had so much interest that they would draw hundreds of spectators to see the two elite pitchers and teams battle it out. A back injury ended the pitching career of Adamczak, but his fantastic accomplishments
certainly won't be forgotten. Jim Adamczak was inducted into the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame in 2005. He died March 5, 2012.

The final two selections for the CSHOF Movie Nights have been announced by chairman Scott Kindberg: Rudy will be shown Wednesday, April 4th and Field of Dreams will be shown on Wednesday, April 18th. The films will be shown free of charge at the Robert H. Jackson Center (Jamestown) at 7:00 pm. Rudy is the true story of Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger who was always told that he was too small to play college football. But he was determined to overcome the odds and fulfill his dream of playing for Notre Dame. WJTN radio personality and Notre Dame football fan, Jim Roselle will introduce the film. Field of Dreams is the fictional tale of Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella who hears a voice in his corn field tell him, "If you build it, he will come." He interprets this message as an instruction to build a baseball field on his farm, upon which appear the ghosts of Shoeless Joe Jackson and the other seven Chicago Black Sox players banned from the game for throwing the 1919 World Series. When the voices continue, Ray seeks out a reclusive author to help him understand the meaning of the messages and the purpose for his field. The movie will be presented by Tim Kindberg who visited the Iowa filming location and will share his remembrances of his trip.

And l to be honest, their really wasn’t much doubt except for a few somewhat anxious moments down the stretch. But, s I’m not sure a five-point game qualifies as anxious. In fact, Kentucky pushed the lead to m, five points a mere six minutes oe into the game and Kansas never came closer. wBut what’s particularly stuno ning is just how easy Kentucky es- makes it look. I’ve watched vie bits and pieces of them roughted ly 25 times this year. There have been stretches of games where you scratch your head wondering how this team can be stopped. The amazing thing is, I think I only saw that one all time (middle 10 minutes of a first half) during the entire er. Final Four. mi- Regardless, even without lookF, ing their best, just about every ent single person watching was still salivating over how un- beatable they looked. A friend w. texted me midway through the he second half wondering how in the world Kentucky had lost this year. I laughed thinking about it, because they weren’t even playing that good, but he had a point. Then I thought about it. A buzzer-beating three against Indiana on the road in midDecember gave UK their first lost. Then, months later, a loss in the SEC Championship to red-hot, senior-led Vanderbilt in Kentucky’s third game in third days. Sure, it was Vandy’s third game in three days too, but they do play with a little more depth. But, that’s beside the point. The point is that was it. Two losses. What teams come to mind when you think best team g in the last 20 years? Florida nst 2007? Five losses. Duke 2001? - Four losses. North Carolina this 2009? Four losses. The only other team to finish th the year with two losses since is 1997 was a fairly underrated 0 Connecticut team in 1999. n But even that squad only had er one NBA player in Richard ar. Hamilton. field But, as I’ve been saying for weeks now, is this Kentucky f- team is super special and red Monday was their coronation. set It was a coronation for coach will John Calipari, too. Cal has sts. taken a lot of heat lately for
simply putting together a glorified AAU team, which was widely thought to not be able to win a national title. He got Massachusetts and Memphis into the Final 4 before getting Kentucky their last year to become just the second coach to take three teams to the national semifinals. But Cal really needed this one. He needed it to cement his legacy, primarily because a loss was just so particularly damaging. Kentucky was the best team all season long and frankly with that amount of talent, not winning the national title would be a somewhat of a failure. Admittedly, I’m not much of a Cal guy — or a Kentucky guy. But, I am a huge basketball guy if you haven’t noticed. Go ask any high school coach, if you want to learn how to play defense, save this game tape. There’s no doubt that having a 6-foot-10 Davis, with a wingspan that goes well past seven feet, anchoring the middle helps. But, Davis plays so smart and puts himself in position to block shots so easily. And a lot of that credit has to go to Calipari. As does his teams’ overall defensive style. Go ask any coach again about how many teenagers want to play defense. This team didn’t just want to play defense, they preferred it. My old high school coach always preached that taking breathers were for the offensive side of the game. And this team seemed to epitomize that with how easy it looks for them to score on offense and just how hard the played on defense. But to me, the credit all goes to Calipari, because this team won the title on defense and as all his players say, “you don’t get to play unless you play defense.” But, of course, what worries many of you out there is what Kentucky could become. There’s actually a shot that everybody goes to the NBA, although I think Doron Lamb and/or Marquis Teague stick around for another year. But, they also might get the top two high school players in the country, Shabazz Muhammad and Nerlens Noel. Plus, they’ve already got Archie Goodwin and Alex Poythress signed, both are top 20 players in their own right. I’ll try not to get ahead of myself, but Noel and Muhammad are 2013 NBA lottery picks. Trust me, I’ve seen them. I can already hear the groans from everyone reading this. But, that’s the thing I like about Calipari, though — he acknowledges the mandatory one-year rule is garbage. But, what can he do about it? Not recruit the best players in the country? The rule needs changing, but that’s for another entire article. What we do know, though, is it’s finally Calipari’s crowing moment. Similar to his players, what more does Calipari have to accomplish in college? His team will bolt for the NBA, but here’s the question, will he follow them?

Greg Johnson Opens 2012 UEMS Racing Season With Win By Chris Zuver Contributing Writer
The 2012 United Emod Series kicked off their fifth season of action last night at Mercer Raceway Park in Mercer, Pa. Twenty-nine E-mods entered the first event of the year and it was Greg Johnson of Busti, capturing his second career UEMS win and found himself on top of the 2012 UEMS point chase after the early season event. Shawn Shingledecker and Alan Dellinger were the front row starters for the 25-lap main event. The field rolled down into turn one and as they exited turn two, the first yellow flag was thrown for a multi car crash at the exit of turn two that had the cars of Michael McGee, Brent Rhebergen, John Boardman, Vic Vena and Russ Dunn involved. Dunn was finished for the night. On the restart, Dellinger trailed Shingledecker into turn one at the start, but he emerged with the lead, as Shingledecker jumped the cushion and lost multiple spots. The second yellow came out on lap two for Mike Kinney and Rich Michael Jr. The field restarted and by lap five it was Dellinger still in front with first time Mercer visitor, Butch Southwell up to second followed by Johnson, Dan Davies and Mike Eschrich when the third yellow was thrown for Chad Carlson who came to a stop on the front stretch after collecting the wall. Dellinger restarted the event again and again powered away as the race was on for second on back with Johnson, Davies, Southwell, Carl McKinney and Eschrich. Lap 10 saw defending UEMS champion, Joel Watson, quickly going to the pits and the yellow came back out one lap later as Justin Carlson looped it in turn four and collected Shingledecker,
Eschrich and Gary Eicher. One lap later, the yellow came out again for Rich Michael Jr. as he spun in turn four by apparent contact from Ben Asel. Green flag racing consisted of the next eight laps and it was apparent that Dellinger was the car to beat and was well on his way to winning his first ever UEMS feature. The fight behind him was hot with Johnson, McKinney, Jack Young, Rhebergen, Shane Crotty, Southwell, Davies and Dixon all in tight battles. Yellow came out for debris on lap 19 and tightened up the field. Just as the field was rolling into turn three to take the green, Dellinger dove into the pits and relinquished the lead making it an impromptu double file restart with Johnson shooting past McKinney into the lead. Johnson had to deal with three more yellows including a last lap shootout when Jack Young’s machine broke a left rear wheel assembly. The green-checker restart saw McKinney dive under Johnson into turn one, but Johnson shot away to capture the 2012 UEMS Emod Series opener over McKinney, Brent Rhebergen, Steve Dixon and 21st-starting Shane Crotty was fifth. Mike Kinney was able to hold on for sixth over 22nd-starting Ben Asel, Shingledecker, Michael and McGee rounded out the top 10. Heat race winners were Davies, Southwell, Dellinger and Johnson while Crotty won

the B-main. Drivers who had problems during the night were Bud Watson, Justin Chaddock, Rich Michael and Dellinger who all reported having motor problems. Watson and Chaddock were not able to start the consolations, Michael ran both of his cars in the hot lap session with the new Larry Shaw chassis being very fast but an apparent broken cam shaft parked that machine for the evening. It was reported that Dellinger had some sort of engine trouble resulting in his quick departure from leading the event under yellow on lap 19. It’s Johnson’s second win in his UEMS career after capturing his first win last Labor Day weekend at Stateline Speedway. The 2011 Stateline Speedway champion wasn’t originally planning on running for the title but after starting the season with a win, things may change.

ajor-league NASCAR racing returns to Rockingham, N.C., in two weeks, as the Camping World Truck Series runs the Good Sam Road Assistance Carolina 200 at Rockingham Speedway, the track that hosted 78 races for NASCAR’s elite Cup division but was shuttered after its race dates were moved elsewhere. From Curtis Turner’s comeback win after a long suspension in the track’s first Cup race in 1965 to Matt Kenseth’s thrilling victory over then-rookie Kasey Kahne in the final one in February of 2004, the one-mile track was known for its exciting and competitive races. The track usually had two or three grooves, and its rough racing surface meant tire wear was often a factor. Unfortunately, in the end, it also struggled to draw fans. Many attributed the empty seats to the track’s race dates, which often saw cold, crowd-killing temperatures. But the track has new life, thanks to current owner Andy Hillenburg, a former driver who made his first career Cup start at the track he now owns. Ironically, Rockingham’s final Cup race was considered by many to be about as good as NASCAR racing gets. It produced the kind of drama that puts spring in the step of racing promoters and fans. In the 2004 Subway 400, Matt Kenseth led as the laps wound down. His closest challenger was Kahne, running in Cup for just the second time and driving the No. 9 Dodge that Bill Elliott had driven to victory at Rockingham the previous fall, beating Jimmie Johnson for his 44th career victory. Elliott, who began his Cup career at the Rock and now runs a partial schedule, has not won again in Cup. The late-race drama ratcheted up a few notches with 40 laps to go. Kenseth and
Kahne pulled onto pit road only to see the caution flag fly for a spin by Robby Gordon. Although it appeared that the leaders would be caught a lap down, under NASCAR’s thennew scoring system that froze the field when the caution was displayed, they retained their spots, over the vocal objections of third-running Jamie McMurray and his team. Then, when the green flag was displayed, Kenseth sprinted away, while Kahne and McMurray had to race the lapped car driven by Kenseth’s teammate at the time, Mark Martin. Kahne finally cleared Martin and chased down Kenseth. As the two drove off Turn Four for the final time at Rockingham, they were side-by-side in a virtual dead heat, and the crowd was on its feet. Kahne was closing fast, but Kenseth prevailed by a mere .01 seconds. “I was holding on for dear life,” Kenseth said that day. It was another great Rockingham moment for the driver, who also got his first career Nationwide victory at Rockingham in 1998 via a last-lap bump-and-run pass of Tony Stewart and clinched his Cup championship there in 2003. “There have been a lot of really cool things that have happened for us at Rockingham,” Kenseth said in an interview session at Martinsville Speedway last week. “It’s a great track … It was a fun track, and one of the first tracks I actually went to and watched a Nationwide race. “It looks so high-banked and fast, but it would get really slick like a little short track, and it was really a fun and challenging track to drive.” Jeff Burton, who has both a Cup and Nationwide victory at Rockingham, said he considered entering the truck race, but decided against it. Still, he predicts fans will get a

(NASCAR photo) taste of old-style Rockingham racing. “They will leave Rockingham loving it,” he said. “It’s one of the coolest race tracks we ever ran on. It was hard, and it was really, really tough … “You would take off and have new tires on and you would feel like Richard Petty, and a few laps later you would feel like you had never been on a race track before in your life. You would change lines and you would be on top of the track, you would be on the bottom, and it was a lot of fun when things were going well … “There will be a lot more fans once they leave there.” And those fans will get to see if Kahne can make up for that defeat back in 2004. He plans to fly in from the Saturday night Cup race at Texas and take over a Turner Motorsports truck that will be qualified by Brad Sweet. “I have always liked racing at Rockingham,” he said. “I’ve always enjoyed sliding around at that track. I’m pretty excited to be able to go back there and race.”
Drivers lament need to repave old asphalt tracks When Atlanta Motor Speedway president Ed Clark talks to Sprint Cup drivers, it’s a common occurrence for those drivers to implore him to leave his track as is. Although the pavement at AMS is 20 years old, abrasive and bumpy, the drivers say that’s the way they like it. But those drivers will have to deal with plenty of new pavement this year as Kansas Speedway, Michigan International Speedway and Pocono Raceway will be repaved, and there apparently will be changes made to the track at Bristol Motor Speedway. Denny Hamlin told reporters at Martinsville that he’d like to see some dialogue between track owners and drivers before the paving crews go to work. “I don’t know who they talk to, honestly,” Hamlin said of the track owners planning to repave. “I don’t know of any driver in my opinion that would choose to repave any race track that we have over the old surface, even Phoenix.” He said the racing eventually will be better on Phoenix’s new pavement, but only after the racing surface ages. “Phoenix is going to be a great race track down the road, and in five years it’s going to have great racing,” he said. “You’re going to have twowide and three-wide racing, it’s
going to be great.” Hamlin and most of his peers say old asphalt gives drivers and teams more options. “Drivers have more in their hands when it’s an old surface; you can make up more,” he said. “It’s not about track position.”
Jeff Gordon crosses the finish line at AMS on September 6, 2011. (NASCAR photo) He said new pavement forces Goodyear to provide a harder tire, and that means lots of speed but little passing. “The tires that we have to run on a new surface are so hard that it’s all about track position,” he said. “It’s all about who stays out [during caution periods] and gets the track position ... just takes off because he’s got the clean air. “Nobody can pass him because everyone just chatters tires right behind him because he has no air … “Really, I don’t know who ever would want to repave any track at
Those NASCAR fans who have been waiting for a slam-bang finish to a Sprint Cup race got their wish at Martinsville Speedway on Sunday. In the closing laps, Jeff Gordon had passed his teammate Jimmie Johnson for the lead and was poised to deliver car owner Rick Hendrick his 200th Cup win. But just as Gordon took the lead, the caution flag flew for David Reutimann, whose No. 10 Chevrolet had stalled on the track. On the restart, Clint Bowyer made it threewide with Gordon and Johnson going into Turn One, setting off a crash that took all three of them out of contention for the win and opening the door for Ryan Newman, who had taken two fresh tires during the final caution period, to get the victory. It capped a big comeback for Newman, who fell a lap behind early in the race because of a penalty for speeding on pit road. “We were not a dominant race car today, but we put ourselves in contention,” Newman said. “The way the strategy and everything worked out, coming in for two tires and Clint [Bowyer] kind of clearing out Turn One for us, we were fortunate to be in the right place at the right time.” Newman’s crew chief Tony Gibson said he wasn’t surprised to see his driver bolt into the lead when it counted. “He drove a great race all day long, never gave up,” Gibson said. “Like I told you a million times, you put him somewhere near the front with 10 [laps] to go, look out, he’s going to have a shot to win it.” Reutimann came under fire from several drivers for stopping on the track, but he said he was simply trying to get as many points as possible. His car is the same one driven by Danica Patrick, and one of his goals is to keep the car in the top 35 in car owner points and thereby guaranteed a starting spot for upcoming races. Despite his efforts, the No. 10 is now 36th in the car owner standings, one point away from a guaranteed berth.
any time. Unless it’s absolutely falling apart should you ever repave a track.” He said the repave at Pocono could produce some really high speeds. “Whether it’s a softer tire or whether it’s a harder tire, ultimately, how fast you get through Turn Three is how fast you’re going to go down the front straightaway. “If it’s a grippy tire, we could be running 215 [miles per hour] going into [Turn One].” On the subject of paving, Matt Kenseth suggested that to get back to really old-school racing at Bristol, as fans have demanded, the racing surface should be put back to asphalt, like it was before it was changed to concrete, because of the loads placed on the surface by the high corner speeds. “It seemed like way back in the old days everybody used to run the top there, and some guys would be on the bottom, and it seemed like it would make multiple grooves,” he said. “We certainly have multiple grooves right now, although the preferred groove is on the top, but there are certainly multiple grooves that we never used to have, but I always thought the old pictures, and all that stuff from a blacktop Bristol, was pretty cool.”
When Kasey Kahne and his longtime crew chief Kenny Francis took over the No. 5 Chevrolet team at Hendrick Motorsports, many garage insiders expected immediate success. But as the Sprint Cup Series enters the Easter break, Kahne is off to a frustratingly bad start, with driver mistakes and mechanical gremlins relegating him to the 31st position in the points standings and a best finish of 14th at Auto Club Speedway. His cars have been fast in practice and qualifying. At Martinsville, he started on the pole and ran strong, but his engine blew on Lap 256, leaving him with a 38th-place finish. “I am upset that we haven’t run great this year, but we are great on Friday and Saturday,” Kahne said. “We were fast again today, and we have the speed, so when it’s our time we will be ready to take advantage of it.”
Townley addresses DUI charge Camping World Truck Series driver John Wes Townley was back on the track at Martinsville for the first time since his arrest for DUI. He met with members of the media before practice and took full responsibility for his actions. “It reflected poorly upon my team, on my sponsors and everyone else and I want to sincerely apologize,” he said. “It’s up to me moving forward to put this behind me and to make better decisions in the future and to really learn from this. I know that a lot of these words are real easily spoken, but it’s actions in the future that I’m going to be judged by.”

Ironmen End Season With Loss To North Stars By David Olesky Jamestown Ironmen
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — The Jamestown Ironmen completed their first season in Jamestown with a 6-1 loss to the Traverse City North Stars on Sunday afternoon. The Ironmen started fast but a Blake Kelley goal that gave them an early 1-0 lead was the only offense they would get all afternoon. The Kelley goal came only 3:17 into the first period and the lead stood up until Will Badner tied the
game at one with his first goal of the game. Badner continued his offensive onslaught with two more goals before the second period
ended to give the North Stars a 3-1 lead after two periods. The North Stars scored early in the third period to take a 4-1 lead and completely
eliminate the opportunity for a Jamestown comeback. Traverse City scored twice and went on to a 6-1 victory to end the Ironmen season on
a sour note. The Ironmen were swept in all three games this weekend in Traverse City as they played out the rest of the season after
the disappointment of being eliminated from the playoffs last weekend. Joe Gladnick stopped 19-of-25 shots in the loss for Jamestown, who were outshot 25-20 by the North Stars. The Ironmen were 0-for-5 on the power play and Traverse City was 1-for-7 with the man advantage. The Ironmen will take a short break before they start preparing for the 2012-2013 season. The Ironmen will have three tryouts in June and July. Please check www.jamestownironmenhockey.com for more information.

Devils Lacrosse Waxes New Paltz Behind 21-Goal Barrage Contributed Article Fredonia Sports Information
NEW PALTZ, N.Y. — The Fredonia State women's lacrosse team opened up the conference portion of its schedule with a 21-point assualt on host New Paltz on Saturday. The Devils (7-2 overall, 1-0 SUNYAC) claimed a 21-12 victory over the Hawks (4-4, 0-1 SUNYAC). The Hawks matched the Blue Devils shot-for-shot in the first half and even held two leads in the late minutes of the first stanza, but could not keep pace with Fredonia's overwhelming attack in the second period. Fredonia State's Amy Simon earned 10 points, scoring nine goals and dishing out one assist. Katie Kleine registered seven points in her threegoal, four-assist performance while also causing a game-high five turnovers. Morgan McNamara and Shelby Depew each netted three markers, with all three of Depew's scores coming on free position attempts. Freshman Carissa Citro led the New Paltz attack with four goals and a team-high seven ground balls. Citro added four draw controls and two caused turnovers to her overall line.

the afternoon soon after, but Tornatore matched her at the 18:37 mark to keep the game tied, now at 3-all. Simon scored two more Blue Devil goals in rapid succession, yet New Paltz again answered right back with goals by freshman midfielder Lianne Valdivia and Citro to keep pace with Fredonia. Depew's first free-position shot for the Blue Devils gave them a 6-5 lead at the 11:39 mark in the first half.

FREDONIA, N.Y. — Fredonia State's long day ended with a 1-0 SUNYAC loss to Potsdam in the completion of a game suspended Friday. Carissa Cornwell's single to left scored Brittany Pawlowski in the first extra inning as the Bears ended their day with a loss — after two losses earlier in the day at Buffalo State — while the Blue Devils (7-8-1) ended their with their third loss. The were defeated by Plattsburgh in a doubleheader earlier in the day by identical 9-3 scores. Danielle Shelp was the hardluck loser to Potsdam. She scattered seven hits and struck out nine. Potsdam's Ashley Thayer was the winning pitcher. She tossed a completegame five-hitter. Katie Bartkowiak had two hits and stole two bases for the Blue Devils. Jessica Lauck cracked a double.

Earlier Saturday, the Blue Devils led early in the first game of the SUNYAC doubleheader with Plattsburgh before the Cardinals got on a roll with their first 9-3 win. The roll continued into the second game for the second 9-3 win. In the opener, the Devils scored the game's first run in the bottom of the first. Anne Wasik led off the inning with a double. She advanced to third on a wild pitch and came around to score on a groundout by Bartkowiak. Fredonia State made it 3-0 in the bottom of the fourth. A walk, error and hit batter loaded the bases. Rachael Burrows singled to plate the first run. The second run was forced in when Wasik walked. A flyout and groundout thwarted the rally. Plattsburgh mounted it comeback in the top of the fifth. A lead-off homer from Erin Florkiewicz made it 3-1. Following an error, Plattsburgh's Megan Price doubled. Brittany Marshall followed with a two-run single to tie the game at 3-all. With two outs, Plattsburgh recorded three straight hits to load the bases. Starting pitcher
Ashley LaPorta was then removed in favor of Shelp, who forced in the go-ahead run with a bases-loaded walk before inducing a pop out to right field. The Devils fought back in the bottom of the fifth. A walk to Lauren Larson, an infield single by Michelle Lattner, and a bunt single by Hannah Vesneske loaded the bases. Plattsburgh pitcher Ashley Marshall, who came on in relief to start the inning, struck out the next three Devils to end the threat. Plattsburgh continued with the momentum with four more in the top of the sixth and one in the seventh to make it 9-3. Marshall was back in the circle for Game 2. Her teammates staked her to an 8-0 lead before the Blue Devils scored all three of their runs in the third. Singles by Brittany Lis and Burrows but runners on first and third. Tina Schwartzmeyer followed with an RBI single and Bartkowiak with a two-run double. The Blue Devils are back in action Thursday when PittBradford visits Blue Devil Field for a non-conference doubleheader.

back from a 4-3 loss at Toronto on Saturday. Tyler Bozak had two goals and an assist, Phil Kessel had three assists and Matt Frattin had a goal and assist for a Maple Leafs team that's playing out the string in missing the playoffs for a seventh straight year. Roy's decisive goal came on the power-play during a scramble in front, after goalie Ben Scrivens stopped Thomas Vanek from jamming the puck in at the left post. The puck squirted into the slot where Roy snapped it over Scrivens' left shoulder. "Today was one of those days where
we could've found ourselves losing that game 5-0," Leopold said. "It didn't work out that way, because we decided to dig in and push it all the way." Digging in might have been the operative word because the Sabres wouldn't have been in a position to win if not for Leopold's selfdescribed "pitchfork goal" that came during a mad scramble in front to force overtime with 1:53 left. Scrivens made the initial stop on Marcus Foligno, but was unable to control the rebound. That resulted in a tangle of bodies crushing around the crease. Scrivens dropped

Sabres Agree To Terms With Catenacci, Knapp Buffalo Sabres Press Release
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Buffalo Sabres General Manw- ager Darcy Regier announced that the team has agreed to terms with forward Dan Catenacci on . a three-year entry level contract and goaltender Connor Knapp on a two-year entry-level contract. Both contracts will take effect next season and both players will join the Rochester Americans tonight on amateur tryouts. Catenacci, selected by Buffalo in the third ch, round (No. 77t overall) of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, ranked second on the Owen Sound Attack (OHL) with 72 points in 67 games in wn 2011-12. Catenacci added a goal and three asthe sists in five playoff games for the Attack.
In 199 career OHL games with Owen Sound and Sault Ste. Marie, the native of New Market, Ont. totaled 173 points and 299 penalty minutes. Knapp recently completed a four-year collegiate career at the University of Miami (Ohio). During his senior season, Knapp appeared in a career-high 24 games, starting 22 and compiling career-best numbers in every category, including a 15-8-0 record, a 1.69 goals against average, a .933 save percentage and five shutouts. The York, N.Y. native appeared in 84 games during his collegiate career, posting a 46-22-11 record with a 1.94 goals against average and a .918 save percentage.

his stick, and had several teammates lying in front as Foligno, flat on his back, Tyler Ennis and Leopold took turns at jamming at the puck. With referee Mike Hasenfratz standing to the left of the net, keeping his eye on the puck, Leopold finally got his stick free and somehow poked it in. "That's not how you draw them up, but it was a hell of a way to win it," coach Lindy Ruff said. "That game had everything." The Maple Leafs had a different view of the outcome. "Gut-wrenching," coach Randy
Carlyle said. "Everything went our way early, and then everything went against us late in the hockey game." In fear of being disciplined by the NHL for criticizing officials, Carlyle sidestepped a question as to whether he thought the play should've been whistled dead. "If I say what I wanted to say, we'd be reading about a nominal fine for the coach of the Maple Leafs," Carlyle said. "I have no comment on what happened out there." What happened is the Maple Leafs somehow squandered a three-goal lead for the second time this season, after blowing a 4-1 third-period lead in a 5-4 shootout loss to Pittsburgh on Jan. 31. Buffalo, by comparison, rallied to win after trailing by three goals for the first time since a 4-3 overtime win over Atlanta on Jan. 1, 2010 After a sloppy first period, the Sabres mustered a response with a dominating second period, in which they cut the lead to 3-2 on goals by Ennis and Sulzer, while outshooting the Leafs 19-6. Toronto appeared to regain the momentum to start the third period, when former Sabres player Clarke MacArthur converted Joey Crabb's centering pass 1:28 in. Roy responded by scoring 56 seconds later, but the Leafs regained a two-goal edge on rookie defenseman Jake Gardiner's goal with 9:21 left. "It's one win, but it gives us some momentum," Leopold said. "It was one of those games where I think everybody in the stands and media was waiting for that one to turn out worse than it ended up being. For us, we pulled together and found a way to win."

on Friday were also blanked, 7-0. St. Bonaventure returns to the court looking to get back in the winning column with a home league match against La Salle on Thursday.
National Sports
8 1) New York Yankees 2011: 97-65, 1st place (lost to Detroit in division series). Manager: Joe Girardi (4th season). Projected Lineup: SS Derek Jeter, CF Curtis Granderson, 2B Robinson Cano, 3B Alex Rodriguez, 1B Mark Teixeira, DH Raul Ibanez or Andruw Jones, C Russell Martin, RF Nick Swisher, LF Brett Gardner. Rotation: CC Sabathia, Hiroki Kuroda, Freddy Garcia, Phil Hughes, Ivan Nova, Andy Pettitte. Key Relievers: Mariano Rivera, David Robertson, Rafael Soriano, Boone Logan. Outlook: Especially with the possibility the third-place team in the AL East can go to the playoffs, the Yankees are well positioned for their 17th postseason berth in 18 years. But with the pinstripes, anything less than first place is not acceptable, especially since wild cards meet in a one-game knockout round. With a clubhouse filled with older players, health will be a key. New York is looking for Jeter, ARod and Mark Teixeira to rebound offensively, for Granderson to come close to his career-best season of last year and for Ibanez to produce as a platoon DH.
1) Detroit Tigers 2011: 95-67, 1st place (lost to Texas in ALCS). Manager: Jim Leyland (7th season). Projected Lineup: CF Austin Jackson, RF Brennan Boesch, 3B Miguel Cabrera, 1B Prince Fielder, DH Delmon Young, C Alex Avila, SS Jhonny Peralta, LF Andy Dirks, 2B Ryan Raburn. Rotation: Justin Verlander, Doug Fister, Max Scherzer, Rick Porcello Key Relievers: Jose Valverde, Joaquin Benoit, Octavio Dotel, Phil Coke, Al Alburquerque. Outlook: With Verlander, Cabrera and Fielder, the Tigers have three MVP candidates in their primes, and after winning the AL Central by 15 games last season, Detroit feels its window of opportunity is now to make a World Series push. After losing Victor Martinez to a severe knee injury, the Tigers signed Fielder to a $214 million, nine-year contract in January. Beyond the front-line stars, Avila and Peralta were among the game's best hitters at their positions in 2011, and Valverde and Benoit were tough to beat late in games. There are some concerns — defense and team speed among them — but there's been an unmistakable buzz surrounding the Tigers ever since Fielder showed up in Motown.

AL East
2) Tampa Bay Rays 2011: 91-71, 2nd place, AL wild card (lost to Texas in division series). Manager: Joe Maddon (7th season). Projected Lineup: LF Desmond Jennings, CF B.J. Upton, 2B Ben Zobrist, 3B Evan Longoria, 1B Carlos Pena, DH Luke Scott, RF Matt Joyce, C Jose Molina, SS Sean Rodriguez. Rotation: James Shields, David Price, Jeremy Hellickson, Matt Moore, Jeff Niemann. Key Relievers: Kyle Farnsworth, Joel Peralta, J.P. Howell, Burke Badenhop, Fernando Rodney, Jake McGee, Wade Davis. Outlook: Surprisingly, the Rays were able to address their biggest offseason priorities without giving up anyone from one of baseball's youngest and deepest starting pitching rotations. Executive vice president Andrew Friedman bolstered the offense this winter with the acquisition of free agent sluggers Pena and Scott, who'll add power to the lineup without costing the Rays defensively. Badenhop and Rodney were added to an already solid bullpen that flourished after being rebuilt a year ago, when Tampa Bay lost six relievers to free agency. The offseason moves didn't create splashy headlines, but Maddon and Friedman are confident they will help the budget-minded Rays remain competitive with the bigspending Yankees and Boston Red Sox in the rugged AL East.
3) Boston Red Sox 2011: 90-72, 3rd place. Manager: Bobby Valentine (1st season). Projected Lineup: CF Jacoby Ellsbury, 2B Dustin Pedroia, 1B Adrian Gonzalez, 3B Kevin Youkilis, DH David Ortiz, C Jarrod Saltalamacchia, LF Cody Ross, RF Ryan Sweeney, SS Mike Aviles. Rotation: Jon Lester, Josh Beckett, Clay Buchholz, Daniel Bard, Felix Doubront. Key Relievers: Andrew Bailey, Mark Melancon, Alfredo Aceves, Franklin Morales. Outlook: Valentine's energetic style contrasts with the more laid-back approach of former manager Terry Francona. But will players chafe at Valentine's tendency to criticize them publicly? He's brought a new atmosphere after Boston went 7-20 in September and missed the playoffs on the final day of the regular season. He's banned alcohol in the clubhouse but has praised players' attitudes after reports that starting pitchers drank beer and ate fried chicken in the clubhouse. He also jabbed the Yankees in spring training — we'll see what's next in the rivalry. New GM Ben Cherington stayed away from big-money signings and added depth with second-tier players. That may not be enough in an improved AL East with the Yankees and Rays.
2) Cleveland Indians 2011: 80-82, 2nd place. Manager: Manny Acta (3rd season). Projected Lineup: CF Michael Brantley, SS Asdrubal Cabrera, RF ShinSoo Choo, C Carlos Santana, DH Travis Hafner, 1B Casey Kotchman, 2B Jason Kipnis, Shelley Duncan, 3B Jack Hannahan. Rotation: Ubaldo Jimenez, Justin Masterson, Josh Tomlin, Derek Lowe, Jeanmar Gomez. Key Relievers: Chris Perez, Joe Smith, Vinnie Pestano, Rafael Perez, Dan Wheeler. Outlook: A shocking start in 2011 was followed by an equally unexpected collapse. The Indians were a feel-good story for most of the season. They were still within 5 1/2 games of first on Aug. 1 when it all came crashing down, mostly because of injuries. The club used the disabled list 22 times and only had Hafner, Choo, Cabrera and Grady Sizemore — Cleveland's four most established hitters — in the same lineup for 17 games. Acta has his players believing they can not only contend again this season, but run down Detroit and win the AL Central. To do that, they'll have to stay healthy and youngsters like Brantley (filling in for the oft-injured Sizemore), Kipnis and Lonnie Chisenhall have to take it up a notch. Of the teams who could benefit most from the expanded playoff format, the Indians are near the top of the list.
3) Kansas City Royals 2011: 71-91, 4th place. Manager: Ned Yost (3rd season). Projected Lineup: LF Alex Gordon, 2B Johnny Giavotella, 1B Eric Hosmer, DH Billy Butler, 3B Mike Moustakas, RF Jeff Francoeur, C Salvador Perez, CF Lorenzo Cain, SS Alcides Escobar. Rotation: Bruce Chen, Luke Hochevar, Jonathan Sanchez, Felipe Paulino, Luis Mendoza, Danny Duffy. Key Relievers: Aaron Crow, Jonathan Broxton, Greg Holland, Louis Coleman, Tim Collins, Jose Mijares, Everett Teaford. Outlook: The Royals return virtually the entire roster they had at the end of last season, when the average age on some nights was 24 years old. They dealt Cabrera for Sanchez in an attempt to improve a mediocre pitching staff, but they also believe that Cain can become a star in the outfield. He was part of the trade that sent Zack Greinke to Milwaukee a couple years ago. If the pitching holds up and a young nucleus of Hosmer, Moustakas and Escobar can fulfill massive expectations, the Royals might have what it takes to make a playoff run for the first time since winning the 1985 World Series. Even being in the race at the break — Kansas City hosts the All-Star game this year — would be a vast improvement.
1) Texas Rangers 2011: 96-66, AL champions (lost to St. Louis in World Series). Manager: Ron Washington (6th season). Projected Lineup: 2B Ian Kinsler, SS Elvis Andrus, CF Josh Hamilton, 3B Adrian Beltre, DH Michael Young, RF Nelson Cruz, C Mike Napoli, LF David Murphy, 1B Mitch Moreland. Rotation: Colby Lewis, Derek Holland, Yu Darvish, Neftali Feliz, Matt Harrison or Scott Feldman. Key Relievers: Joe Nathan, Mike Adams, Alexi Ogando, Mark Lowe, Yoshinori Tateyama, Michael Kirkman. Outlook: For the second year in a row, the Rangers lost their No. 1 pitcher in free agency after losing in the World Series. Wilson had moved up in the rotation when fellow lefty Cliff Lee departed after 2010, but then last December took a five-year deal from the AL West rival Los Angeles Angels. The Rangers countered by signing Darvish, Japan's top pitcher, to a six-year contract that cost them more than $107 million. The 6-foot-5 right-hander had a 1.99 ERA over the past seven seasons in the Pacific League, and he's only 25. The top-hitting lineup in the majors is basically unchanged, though Hamilton is going into the final season of his contract. After facing Albert Pujols in last year's World Series, Texas will have to get by him this year to win another AL West title.
2) Los Angeles Angels
AL Central
AL West
2011: 86-76, 2nd place. Manager: Mike Scioscia (13th season). Projected Lineup: SS Erick Aybar, DH Bobby Abreu, 1B Albert Pujols, RF Torii Hunter, 2B Howie Kendrick, 3B Alberto Callaspo, LF Vernon Wells, C Chris Iannetta, CF Peter Bourjos. Rotation: Jered Weaver, Dan Haren, C.J. Wilson, Ervin Santana, Jerome Williams. Key Relievers: Jordan Walden, LaTroy Hawkins, Hisanori Takahashi, Scott Downs, Jason Isringhausen. Outlook: The Angels might have the AL's best rotation led by Cy Young runner-up Weaver, and their lineup looks good around Pujols, arguably the game's best hitter, a three-time NL MVP and last fall's World Series slugger. Anything less than a good playoff run will be a major disappointment in Orange County, and the Angels' veteran core isn't shying away from expectations. Scioscia is quietly confident Los Angeles has all the ingredients of a championship ballclub that can knock two-time league champion Texas off its perch atop the AL West — and new right-hander Wilson added fuel to the rivalry this month when he tweeted Rangers C Mike Napoli's phone number. The Angels are ready to roll into the most anticipated season in franchise history.
4) Toronto Blue Jays 2011: 81-81, 4th place. Manager: John Farrell (2nd season). Projected Lineup: SS Yunel Escobar, 2B Kelly Johnson, RF Jose Bautista, 1B Adam Lind, DH Edwin Encarnacion, 3B Brett Lawrie, CF Colby Rasmus, C J.P. Arencibia, LF Travis Snider. Rotation: Ricky Romero, Brandon Morrow, Brett Cecil, Henderson Alvarez, Dustin McGowan. Key Relievers: Sergio Santos, Francisco Cordero, Darren Oliver, Casey Janssen. Outlook: They're sporting a new look this season, a throwback to Toronto's glory years of back-toback World Series titles in 1992 and `93. But it'll take more than updated uniforms to get the Blue Jays back in the playoffs for the first time in almost two decades, even with an expanded postseason format. Toronto needs consistency from its starting rotation, dependability from its rebuilt bullpen and advancement from young stars such as Arencibia and Lawrie if it hopes to contend for a wild-card berth in the competitive AL East. Another power-packed season from Bautista wouldn't hurt, either.
5) Baltimore Orioles 2011: 69-93, 5th place. Manager: Buck Showalter (2nd full season). Projected Lineup: LF Nolan Reimold, SS J.J. Hardy, RF Nick Markakis, CF Adam Jones, C Matt Wieters, 3B Mark Reynolds, 1B Chris Davis, DH Wilson Betemit, 2B Robert Andino. Rotation: Jake Arrieta, Wei-Yin Chen, Tommy Hunter, Jason Hammel, Brian Matusz. Key Relievers: Jim Johnson, Kevin Gregg, Matt Lindstrom, Tsuyoshi Wada, Dana Eveland. Outlook: Between Hardy, Jones, Reynolds and Wieters, the Orioles have enough power to compete with the big boys in the AL East. The problem is the pitching, again a huge question mark. If newcomers Chen, Wada and Hammel hold their own in a new league, and if Arrieta and Matusz bounce back from injury-troubled seasons, Baltimore's starting rotation will survive the loss of workhorse Jeremy Guthrie. New executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette and the Orioles won't be a contender in 2012 as they celebrate the 20th anniversary of Camden Yards, but if they can avoid injuries and get some decent pitching they could snap an embarrassing streak of 14 consecutive losing seasons.
4) Chicago White Sox 2011: 79-83, 3rd place. Manager: Robin Ventura (1st season). Projected Lineup: CF Alejandro De Aza, C A.J. Pierzynski, RF Alex Rios, 1B Paul Konerko, DH Adam Dunn, SS Alexei Ramirez, LF Dayan Viciedo, 3B Brent Morel, 2B Gordon Beckham. Rotation: John Danks, Jake Peavy, Gavin Floyd, Chris Sale, Phil Humber. Key Relievers: Matt Thornton, Jesse Crain, Will Ohman, Zach Stewart, Addison Reed. Outlook: With Detroit adding Prince Fielder, the White Sox will be hardpressed to win the AL Central, especially if Dunn doesn't get straightened out. Viciedo will finally get his chance to be an everyday player in the majors and counted on to make up for the run production of the departed Quentin. Danks got a new contract to be the ace but must avoid his slow start — 0-8 — of a year ago when he didn't win for the first two months. Ventura's personality couldn't be more different from the man he replaced, Ozzie Guillen. His laid-back personality and his approach were greeted favorably in spring training, but he takes over a team that lost its ace (Buehrle) and closer (Santos). Konerko, at age 36, will be entering his 14th season with Chicago and is coming off a stellar year, one the White Sox will need again.
5) Minnesota Twins 2011: 63-99, 5th place. Manager: Ron Gardenhire (11th season). Projected lineup: CF Denard Span, SS Jamey Carroll, C Joe Mauer, 1B Justin Morneau, RF Josh Willingham, DH Ryan Doumit or Trevor Plouffe, 3B Danny Valencia, LF Ben Revere, 2B Alexi Casilla. Rotation: Carl Pavano, Francisco Liriano, Scott Baker, Nick Blackburn, Jason Marquis. Key relievers: Matt Capps, Glen Perkins, Brian Duensing, Anthony Swarzak. Outlook: Well, the Twins can't fare much worse than last year. That's the upside to 2012. Mauer and Morneau have been full participants in spring training, so that's progress so far, too. Prospects like Joe Benson and Chris Parmelee are hanging around, waiting for their opportunity to be major league regulars. Willingham will be asked to replace Cuddyer at the plate and in the field, but Cuddyer's lost leadership will leave a void. General manager Terry Ryan's return to his old role has helped restore some optimism. The division is better than it used to be, though, so the Twins have a lot of improvements to make even if they stay healthy to be the annual contenders they were over the last decade.
3) Oakland Athletics 2011: 74-88, 3rd place. Manager: Bob Melvin (2nd season). Projected Lineup: 2B Jemile Weeks, SS Cliff Pennington, LF Coco Crisp, CF Yoenis Cespedes, DH Seth Smith, C Kurt Suzuki, RF Josh Reddick, 1B Brandon Allen, 3B Josh Donaldson. Rotation: Brandon McCarthy, Bartolo Colon, Tom Milone, Tyson Ross, Graham Godfrey or Brad Peacock. Key Relievers: Grant Balfour, Brian Fuentes, Joey Devine, Fautino De Los Santos. Outlook: After trading away top starters Gonzalez and Cahill and closer Bailey in the offseason, it looked as if there would be little excitement surrounding the A's until they found out whether they could move to San Jose. Then general manager Billy Beane signed Cuban defector Cespedes to a $36 million, four-year contract that immediately injected some life into the team — Cespedes hit his first big league homer in Tokyo on Thursday. Beane also signed Manny Ramirez, who must sit out the first 50 games for a second violation of baseball's drug policy. The mostly unproven rotation could get a boost when Dallas Braden (shoulder) and Brett Anderson (elbow) return from injuries. But the good news the A's really want to get is for Major League Baseball to allow them to move to San Jose, where a new stadium will help them compete with big spenders in their division.
4) Seattle Mariners 2011: 67-95, 4th place. Manager: Eric Wedge (2nd season). Projected Lineup: 3B Chone Figgins, 2B Dustin Ackley, RF Ichiro Suzuki, Justin Smoak, DH Jesus Montero, LF Mike Carp, C Miguel Olivo, CF Michael Saunders, SS Brendan Ryan. Rotation: Felix Hernandez, Jason Vargas, Blake Beavan, Charlie Furbush, Hisashi Iwakuma. Key Relievers: Brandon League, George Sherrill, Shawn Kelley. Outlook: Wedge admittedly was tightlipped with criticism as some of his youngsters struggled through his first season. But after a year of learning the organization, Wedge says he now has a baseline for expectations and will be more likely to call out his players when they're not performing. Seattle was unable to solve its offensive problems in free agency, so it's clear its future will be built around Montero, Smoak, Ackley and Carp in the hopes that foursome can anchor Seattle's batting order for years to come. Hernandez again leads the pitching staff, but what has Seattle excited is the prospects of pairing the former AL Cy Young winner with a foursome of young arms — Danny Hultzen, James Paxton, Taijuan Walker and Erasmo Ramirez — that are all likely a year away. With Texas and the Angels both making huge offseason moves, Seattle's ceiling is probably third place in this division, but it needs to be progressive improvement from a year ago if the expectation of contending in `13 and `14 is to remain realistic.

Outlook: Anything less than a World Series title is unacceptable in Philadelphia. The Phillies have set the bar very high by s winning five straight NL East titles and the World Series in 2008. They finished with the most wins in the majors the n a last two seasons, including a franchises best 102 victories last year. But they've heir regressed each of the last three seasons, losing the World Series in 2009, losing in m the NLCS in 2010 and getting knocked re's out in the first round last year. With three aces in their rotation and a dominant . closer, the Phillies have enough pitching to overcome age, injuries and other e deficiencies on offense. der 2) Miami Marlins t if 2011: 72-90, 5th place. me Manager: Ozzie Guillen (1st season). n u-

Rotation: Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle, Ricky Nolasco, Anibal Sanchez, Carlos Zambrano. Key Relievers: Heath Bell, Edward Mujica, Ryan Webb, Mike Dunn, Randy Choate, Steve Cishek. Outlook: The Marlins have a new name, new uniforms, a new ballpark and four newcomers who have been All-Stars, which gives the franchise a new outlook. A team that finished last in the NL in attendance the past seven years expects big crowds to start the season, and they won't be coming just to see the ballpark. An offseason spending binge made national headlines, and the addition of such personalities as Guillen, Zambrano and Bell almost guarantees the team will stay in the news. But to keep fans coming, the Marlins probably need to win. It has been nine years since they reached the playoffs, but with a balanced team and proven manager, they expect to challenge the Phillies and Braves for the NL East title. 3) Atlanta Braves 2011: 89-73, 2nd place.

Rotation: Zack Greinke, Yovani Galen lardo, Shaun Marcum, Randy Wolf, Chris Narveson. Key Relievers: John Axford, Franurn, cisco Rodriguez, Kameron Loe. Outlook: The Brewers' chances got a huge boost when Braun was able y to get his 50-game suspension for a positive drug test overturned, e although he has struggled mightily the in spring training and is likely to get eau some grief from opposing fans when ng he hits the road in the regular seatoo.son. The Brewers might not score as ris many runs without Fielder, but they it- can rely on a strong starting rotaajor tion and what should be a rock-solid be back end of the bullpen. Assuming late Braun is back to MVP form and the t Brewers stay healthy, they should ral be contenders. Significant question: is Will the defense be better?
Cincinnati Reds 2011: 79-83, 3rd place. Manager: Dusty Baker (4th season). Projected Lineup: CF Drew Stubbs, 2B Brandon Phillips, 1B Joey Votto, 3B Scott Rolen, RF Jay Bruce, SS Zack Cozart, LF Chris Heisey, C Ryan Hanigan. Rotation: Johnny Cueto, Mat Latos, Bronson Arroyo, RH Homer Bailey, Mike Leake. Key Relievers: Ryan Madson (out for season), Sean Marshall, Nick Masset, Bill Bray, Jose Arredondo. Outlook: The Reds won the NL Central in 2010, when several players had career years. They kept the core of the team intact and made few changes the following offseason, and paid for it, falling back to third place. The bullpen is already in trouble, with Madson out for the year and Masset starting the season on the DL. Jocketty gave up a pair of former No. 1 draft picks and starter Edinson Volquez as part of a package to get Latos, who gives the Reds a solid 1-2 combination at the top of the rotation. With St. Louis and Milwaukee losing their top sluggers, the Reds are in position to contend for a second division title in three years. If they fail, Baker's

Outlook: A whole lot different than it was a year ago, when they were expected to be headed for the cellar again but instead succeeded behind strong young pitching, a vastly improved bullpen and timely hitting. The team only tinkered with the roster. The addition of Cahill from Oakland could further strengthen the rotation, and Breslow, who also came from the A's, puts another lefty in the bullpen. Arizona, in a somewhat curious move, signed Kubel, a free agent left fielder. Gibson, the NL manager of the year, successfully instilled a winning culture in the desert. The challenge is to keep it there. 3) Colorado Rockies 2011: 73-89, 4th place. Manager: Jim Tracy (fourth season). Projected Lineup: CF Dexter Fowler, 2B

Martin Prado, 3B Chipper Jones, 2B Dan Uggla, C Brian McCann, 1B Freddie Freeman, RF Jason Heyward, SS Tyler Pastornicky. Rotation: Jair Jurrjens, Tommy Hanson, Brandon Beachy, Mike Minor, Tim Hudson (will miss first month), Randall Delgado. Key Relievers: Craig Kimbrel, Jonny Venters, Eric O'Flaherty, Kris Medlen. Outlook: Fredi Gonzalez's first season as Atlanta's manager was sailing along smoothly — until September. The Braves went into a terrible slump, winning just nine of their last 27 games, and the St. Louis Cardinals rallied to capture the wild card by a single game. The memories of that historic collapse still sit with the Braves like a bad hangover, making it vital they get off to a good start this season. GM Frank Wren made no major moves over the winter, believing he's got a solid team that just had one awful month. Indeed, the Braves have one of baseball's best pitching staffs and should again be a playoff contender, especially if several players who had off years (McCann, Heyward, Prado) bounce back. Atlanta would surely like to send Jones into retirement with a second championship. 4) Washington Nationals 2011: 80-81, 3rd place. Manager: Davey Johnson (1st full season with Washington).

Rotation: Stephen Strasburg, Gio Gonzalez, Jordan Zimmermann, Edwin Jackson, Chien-Ming Wang or John Lannan. Key Relievers: Drew Storen, Tyler Clippard, Henry Rodriguez, Brad Lidge, Sean Burnett. Outlook: For a franchise that's never finished above .500, there sure has been a lot of talk about the playoffs and contending. Coming off an 80-81 record — the team's best since moving from Montreal — the Nationals think they finally can be a factor and play meaningful games in September. A big reason for optimism is the pitching staff, with a rotation led by Strasburg and bolstered by Jackson, a free-agent signing, and Gonzalez, acquired in a trade. The bullpen is strong, too, thanks mainly to Storen and Clippard, who made the All-Star team as a setup man last year. But Storen will start the season on the DL because of trouble in his right elbow. Lidge and Henry Rodriguez could share the closer duties until Storen returns. Now it's up to the lineup, which didn't get any additions in the offseason, to improve if the Nationals and Johnson — at 69, the oldest manager in the majors — are going to be as good as they say they should be.
5) New York Mets 2011: 77-85, 4th place. Manager: Terry Collins (2nd season).

Dickey, Jonathon Niese, Mike Pelfrey, Dillon Gee. Key Relievers: Frank Francisco, Ramon Ramirez, Jon Rauch, Manny Acosta, Bobby Parnell, Pedro Beato, Tim Byrdak, D.J. Carrasco. Outlook: Not long ago, the Mets spent their winters landing big-name prizes like Santana, Francisco Rodriguez and Carlos Beltran. Now they hunt for bargains — if they even shop at all. But the Mets got some good news during spring training when owners Fred Wilpon and Saul Katz reached an agreement in court with the trustee for Bernard Madoff 's fraud victims. So with the Madoff issue settled, the team can finally shift most of its focus back onto the field. One positive has been Santana, who looks healthy after missing all of last season. The two-time Cy Young Award winner will pitch the opener April 5 at home against Atlanta as the Mets celebrate their 50th birthday. This looks like a last-place team in the powerful NL East, where everyone else has been loading up.
job will be in jeopardy. 3) St. Louis Cardinals 2011: 90-72, 2nd place, NL wild card (World Series champions). Manager: Mike Matheny (1st season). Projected Lineup: SS Rafael Furcal, RF Carlos Beltran, LF Matt Holliday, 1B Lance Berkman, 3B David Freese, C Yadier Molina, CF Jon Jay, 2B Tyler Greene. Rotation: Chris Carpenter, Adam Wainwright, Jaime Garcia, Kyle Lohse, Jake Westbrook. Key Relievers: Jason Motte, Fernando Salas, Marc Rzepczynski, Mitchell Bogs, Kyle McClellan, Eduardo Sanchez, J.C. Romero. Outlook: There's a lot of change at the top, with manager Tony La Russa retired, pitching coach Dave Duncan on extended leave and not expected back and Albert Pujols bolting for the Los Angeles Angels. The post-Pujols lineup appears to be deeper, with Allen Craig a dangerous wild-card bat whenever he recovers from offseason kneecap surgery, which should make things easier on new manager Mike Matheny. Wainwright's return fortifies a rotation that'll likely have to survive without postseason horse Carpenter
for a lengthy period. Health could be a season-long concern. The clock is ticking on Carpenter, who'll be 37 in April, Berkman (36), Romero (35) and Furcal, Beltran and Westbrook, all 34. 4) Pittsburgh Pirates 2011: 72-90, 4th place Manager: Clint Hurdle (2nd season) Projected Lineup: LF Alex Presley or Nate McLouth, RF Jose Tabata, CF Andrew McCutchen, 2B Neil Walker, 3B Pedro Alvarez or Casey McGehee, 1B Garrett Jones, C Rod Barajas, SS Clint Barmes. Rotation: A.J. Burnett, Erik Bedard, Kevin Correia, James McDonald, Jeff Karstens. Key Relievers: Joel Hanrahan, Daniel McCutchen, Chris Resop, Evan Meek, Jason Grilli. Outlook: The Pirates enter 2012 with heightened expectations following a 15-game improvement last season. They led the division in late July but ran out of steam when the pitching staff couldn't overcome one of baseball's weakest offenses. The Pirates hope a revitalized and healthy Alvarez can provide the power they sorely lack while hoping there are third acts for Barmes and Barajas. The team continued to invest in the future by
signing All-Star McCutchen to a contract extension and he's the set piece the rest of the clue will revolve around. 5) Chicago Cubs 2011: 71-91, 5th place. Manager: Dale Sveum (1st season). Projected lineup: RF David DeJesus, 2B Darwin Barney, SS Starlin Castro, Bryan LaHair, LF Alfonso Soriano, CF Marlon Byrd, 3B Ian Stewart, Geovany Soto. Rotation: Ryan Dempster Matt Garza, Jeff Samardzija, Chris Volstad, Paul Maholm. Key Relievers: Carlos Marmol, Kerry Wood, Travis Wood, Rodrigo Lopez, Andy Sonnanstine, James Russell, Trever Miller. Outlook: Theo-mania still bubbles on the North Side. Can he be on the one to end an unfathomable World Series title drought — one that could reach 104 years this season — much like he did for the Red Sox? Owner Tom Ricketts is counting on it. Epstein fired Quade and brought in Sveum and also jettisoned the problematic Carlos Zambrano. A .500 season would seem to be a remarkable accomplishment in this first year of Theo Epstein.
Lopez, Enerio Del Rosario, Sergio Escalona. Outlook: The Astros have a new owner in Jim Crane and a new general manager in Jeff Luhnow, but it's hard to see this team being much different from
last year's squad without any significant offseason moves. The Astros hope the return of Castro, a first-round pick in 2008, from a knee injury will give the offense and defense a boost. Lee is back for the last season of a $100 million contract he signed in 2007 and as
virtually the only veteran non-pitcher on the roster, he'll need to lead this young team as it plays its final season in the National League before next year's move to the American League.
Manager: Don Mattingly (2nd season). Projected Lineup: CF Matt Kemp, SS Dee Gordon, RF Andre Ethier, C A.J. Ellis, 2B Mark Ellis, 1B James Loney, 3B Juan Uribe, LF Juan Rivera. Rotation: Clayton Kershaw, Chad Billingsley, Ted Lilly, Aaron Harang, Chris Capuano. Key Relievers: Javy Guerra, Kenley Jansen, Matt Guerrier, Scott Elbert, Josh Lindblom, Ramon Troncoso, Todd Coffey, Mike MacDougal. Outlook: Maybe the magic will be back for the Dodgers now that an investment group including Lakers great Magic Johnson was picked by current owner Frank McCourt to buy the team for $2 billion, just five hours after Major League Baseball approved three finalists in a bankruptcy auction. The sale is due to be closed on April 30. Colletti had a limited budget in the offseason, and signed Capuano and Harang with the money he saved by letting Kuroda go. NL Cy Young Award winner Kershaw and NL MVP runner-up Kemp are arguably the best pitcher and position player in the league. They led the team to a third-place finish last year and will try to keep the club in contention until new money arrives. 5) San Diego Padres 2011: 71-91, 5th place.
Manager: Bud Black (6th season). Projected Lineup: CF Cameron Maybin, 2B Orlando Hudson, 1B Yonder Alonso, LF Carlos Quentin, C Nick Hundley, 3B Chase Headley, RF Will Venable, Jason Bartlett. Rotation: Tim Stauffer, Cory Luebke, Edinson Volquez, Clayton Richard, Dustin Moseley. Key Relievers: Huston Street, Andrew Cashner, Luke Gregerson, Ernesto Frieri, Joe Thatcher, Micah Owings, Anthony Bass. Outlook: While the Padres aren't expected to be serious contenders for the division crown, they should at least be better than last year thanks to three big trades by new general manager Josh Byrnes in late December and early January. Byrnes traded Mat Latos to Cincinnati for four players, including starter Volquez and two top prospects, Alonso and catcher Yasmani Grandal. Byrnes acquired Quentin from the Chicago White Sox two weeks later, and then dealt slugger Anthony Rizzo to the Chicago Cubs for Cashner. He also traded for Street after allowing All-Star closer Heath Bell to leave as a free agent. Maybin was given a $25 million, five-year contract during spring training. Still, the Padres have a lot to prove offensively and their rotation, while solid, isn't dazzling.
NL Central
NL West
Marco Scutaro, LF Carlos Gonzalez, SS Troy Tulowitzki, 1B Todd Helton, RF Michael Cuddyer, 3B Chris Nelson, Ramon Hernandez. Starting rotation: Jeremy Guthrie, Jhoulys Chacin, Drew Pomeranz, Juan Nicasio, Guillermo Moscoso, Jamie Moyer. Key Relievers: Rafael Betancourt, Matt Belisle, Rex Brothers. Outlook: As one of the favorites to win the NL West last season, the Rockies faltered under the pressure. They started out well, only to tumble back to the pack. This season, the spotlight isn't shining as brightly on them — and that just may be for the better. Still, the Rockies could be a sleeper team, especially after GM Dan O'Dowd brought in more veterans to help with leadership inside the clubhouse. Cuddyer, Guthrie, Hernandez and Scutaro will all be voices the team listens to, along with Tulowitzki and Helton. The lineup will be — surprise, surprise — centered on Gonzalez and Tulowitzki. The rotation is definitely deep, led by innings eater Guthrie. If Chacin, Pomeranz and Nicasio can take the next step in their development, it could be a solid assembly of arms. The bullpen will be led by Betancourt, who will step in again as the closer. 4) Los Angeles Dodgers 2011: 82-79, 3rd place.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article
Department of Environmental Conservation
Cattaraugus Creek has been fishing well this week, despite higher than ideal flows. Currently the creek is running at about 550 cubic feet per second and is in excellent shape. Steelhead are spread throughout the creek, however the better catches have been in the mid to upper sections. Suckers and bass have moved into the creek also and there have been bass catches as far upstream as Versailles. All other streams are in decent shape with lower and clear conditions. There are still some steelheads in those streams, but most have spawned and are heading out. 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 steelhead 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
Anglers continue to report good perch catches at sites off Cattaraugus Creek, Sturgeon Point and even Buffalo. Out of Buffalo, some boaters have located decent perch schools in 45-55 feet of water along the international line. Off Sturgeon Point, consistent catches of sizeable perch have come from 50-60 feet of water. Similar depths have produced straight out of Cattaraugus Creek and to the northeast. With the spawn approaching, don't overlook 40-foot depths for schooling perch. Emerald shiners fished at or within 2 feet of the bottom are the ticket for perch. Sturgeon Point boat launch is currently closed for dredging. Perch anglers can launch from Small Boat Harbor in Buffalo or the Town of Hanover and DEC launches at the mouth of Cattaraugus Creek. 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. The bullhead bite in Dunkirk Harbor cooled when the weather cooled back down. Look for the action to pick up at night with warming weather. The best bite is usually behind the Clarion. Chautauqua Lake Crappie catches have been more con-
Mar. 30 to Apr. 6
sistent in the canals and in the south basin. Crappie catches have also been reported off Mayville. Anglers are catching mostly sub-legal crappie with a handful of keepers. Minnows or a small jig (1/32 oz.) tipped with a minnow have worked well. Crappie anglers are also catching many bluegill and yellow perch. Fishing the canals or from shore at night is a good bet for bullhead. Worms, leeches or chicken livers fished on the bottom work well for bullhead. Upper Niagara River Yellow perch, crappie and bluegill are 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. Also look for crappie schooling in the backwater areas of Tonawanda Creek, below the confluence with the Erie Canal, down to the Niagara River. Emerald shiner are the top bait for perch and sunfish, 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. Inland Trout Streams When the traditional trout season kicks off on Sunday, anglers will not
have to deal with the frigid water temperatures or high water levels that usually suppress the bite. Trout streams are currently in good shape throughout the region. Actually, fly hatches have been happening early and already have some trout feeding at the surface. Stoneflies and blue-winged olives account for the majority of the surface action, however fly anglers see better action on nymphs and small streamers or buggers. Productive offerings for spinning anglers include worms, salted minnows and small inline spinners. If you are a catch and release anglers and use spinners, it is a good idea to outfit your spinners with a single hook rather than a treble hook. Western New York anglers have a variety of Wild Trout Streams and Stocked Trout Streams to choose from. In addition Public Fishing Rights Maps are available for many of the area's best trout streams. Spring Trout Stocking The following waters will be stocked before April 1: Allegany County: Dodge Creek (Clarksville), Little Genesee Creek (Bolivar), Genesee River (Amity, Wellsville). Dyke Creek (Andover), Cryder Creek (Independance), Allen Lake (Allen), Black Creek (West Al-
mond), Canaseraga Creek (Burns). Cattaraugus County: Great Valley Creek (Great Valley, Ellicottville), Forks Creek (Great Valley), Wrights Creek (Humphrey), S. Branch Cattaraugus Creek (East Otto), Mansfield Creek (Mansfield), Connoisarauley Creek (Ashford), Beaver Meadow Creek (Ellicottville), Crandall Pond (Ashford), Bone Run (South Valley), N. Branch Sawmill Run (South Valley), Guernsey Run (South Valley), Little Conewango Creek (Conewango), Paisley Park Pond (Randolph), Bay State Brook (Red House), Science Lake (Red House). Harwood Lake (Farmersville), Case Lake (Franklinville), Birch Run Pond (Allegany), Rice Brook (Carrollton), Ischua Creek (Franklinville), Franklinville Retention Pond (Franklinville), Quaker Lake (Elko), Quaker Run (Cold Spring), New Albion Lake (New Albion), County Ponds A&B (Randolph). Chautauqua County: Clay Pond (Poland), Goose Creek (N. Harmony, Harmony). Erie County: E. Branch Cazenovia Creek (Emery Park, Aurora Town Park), Little Buffalo Creek (Lancaster, Marilla), Eighteenmile Creek (Boston Town Park), Cattaraugus Creek (Yorkshire). Sprague Brook Park Ponds (Concord).
Plenty Of Perch By Steve Peacock Star Outdoors Writer
Opening day of trout season was last Sunday and the fishing was good for those not scared off by the weather. Several friends of mine were out on Sunday and they all caught fish. It’s pretty good
timing for the season to open since some of the other fishing has slowed down a bit. The steelheads are starting to be a little harder to find. They may be all done running the creeks for the year. Every time I mention that the spring run may end sooner than normal, someone shows
me pictures of fish that prove me wrong. They had started pulling some catfish out of the Cattaraugus Creek when the weather was warm. Now it seems that the more seasonable temperatures we have had, has slowed this down as well. I do expect that the catfish action will pick back up as the
water warms up a little. The peek time for catfish around here is usually near the end of May or early June. That is when they come in to the creek to spawn. The ones that are around now are coming in to feed on the minnows. All of the tributaries that I have checked out are packed
with minnows right now. The fishing at Chautauqua Lake should be pretty good, but none of the people I know have gone there in a few days. The best opportunity I know of right now is the Lake Erie perch. Despite the gloomy weather last weekend, plenty of boats were out perch fish-
ing. I hear that most of them caught fish and several guys caught their limit. The boat that I get to fish on will probably be in storage until the end of April, but even that is earlier than we normally get it out. But as is the case with this year, everything is early.

Insider By T.J. TOMASI
TEEING OFF
The golf swing is built on balance
No matter how good (or bad) your golf swing is, balance is the organizing principle. There is nothing you do well that doesn’t require good balance, including lying on the couch, and when you study the wide variety of swings used by tour players, you’ll see that all the different swing parts self-organize around the principle of balance. The good news is that balance can be cultivated, so with a little effort, you can put its powers to work. To better understand the concept of balance, I make a distinction between “street” balance and “golf” balance. Evolution has given you a balance system that keeps you safe from falling. Your brain receives a continuous flow of information about the position of your body and gives orders to your muscles to regain your balance whenever your body is in danger of taking a tumble. This unconscious self-preservation system is what I call street balance, and while it can save your life, it can also ruin your golf swing. Because of the importance of remaining upright, your brain attaches a great deal of significance to any message that says, “This container is falling over.” When your brain receives such a message, it automatically acts to recover, and there’s nothing you can do about it. This reflex is called the “righting instinct,” and its power to control your body is supreme. The contorted arrangements involved in hitting a golf ball (spine tilted, body bowed, left side straight, right side flexed, head back, lead hip high) create an unnatural position. These golf positions are on the edge of the line where the righting instinct kicks in, ready to save your body but ruin your shot. Thus, your golf swing is in balance only when your street balance and your golf balance work together. Here’s how you make the two match: First, check your weight distribution at address. Bad golf balance often begins with the weight forward on the toes. It should be distributed from the balls of the feet backward to the heels. Second, focus on your tempo and make a smooth, unhurried swing with no leaps or lurches — first with your practice swing, then with your actual swing. Think of your swing as being long and lazy vs. short and fast. Remember, balance is a learned skill, so hold your pose at the finish to make sure you’re in equilibrium.
Match elbow and hip for solid contact The quality of your impact position is determined by the relationship between two body parts: your trail elbow and hip. The trail elbow determines the path of the clubhead to the ball, so if your elbow matches up evenly with your hip, as in the first photo below, your hands can get back in front of your body in time for impact. However, if your elbow is trapped behind your hip, as the second golfer’s is below, you’ll have an awful time squaring the face correctly. Here are two cures for a hip/elbow package that is out of sync: 1. A long elbow swing: If your elbow must travel a long distance from the top of your backswing to impact, then your hips need to wait a bit as they make their turn so your elbow can catch up. You can keep the long backswing, but you need to slow down your hip turn. 2. A short elbow swing: It’s just the opposite if your trail elbow doesn’t
swing long ABOUT THE WRITER enough at Dr. T.J. the end of Tomasi is a teaching the backprofessional swing. Since in Port St. the elbow Lucie, Fla. Visit his has a short website at journey to tjtomasi.com. impact, it runs the risk of arriving too early, well ahead of the hip. In this case, you can lengthen your backswing or, if you like your short swing, simply speed up your hip turn. Either way, you’re back in match. Slow hips and fast elbows are mismatched unless you like to pull the ball way to the left. The fast hips/ slow elbow duo isn’t any better because your clubhead will be late for impact, sending the ball to the right of the target. To swing your best, you need to coordinate your elbows and hips so they match, slow with slow, or fast with fast.
Athletes of today
Jack Nicklaus describes his contemporaries: “In those days, most of those guys were club pros. Their usual thing was, after a round, to come in and have a drink and socialize. They did that when they played tournaments. “I always felt drinking did not do well with nerves. The guys today don’t do that. I never did that. … Guys take the game today as more athletes, and I took it that way.” Insider Take: Announcer Roger Maltbie, once a fine player, said the reason he stopped jogging was that the ice cubes kept falling out of his Scotch glass. And Maltbie was no exception; outside of Gary Player and Frank Stranahan, in Nicklaus’ day, hardly anyone took care of their bodies like they do now.
Still conscious His win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill last week ended Tiger Woods’ long drought, but he still has a “not quite” profile. This is not a criticism of his wonderful performance, just an observation. Woods is consciously trying very hard to make his new swing every time, and when he does, he hits it great, but when he doesn’t, it’s so far off that he hits a trick shot. It happened on Friday when he hit the out-of-bounds fence with a vicious hook, and twice on Saturday when he hit it 30 yards OB on one shot and a high flare way to the right with a 7-iron on another terrible swing. When a player is not quite sure, he exaggerates the move, and that’s when you see the trick shot. Does Tiger have it yet? Not quite, but he’s close! QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“I would rather be broke
and not have a penny to my name before I violate the code of player-teacher confidentiality.” This golfer’s elbow lines up evenly and is not blocked by her hip.
GOLF SPOKEN HERE
Over-clubbing (1) Using a club that will hit the ball farther than necessary. (2) Going to one too many nightclubs the evening before the big match. Both are unnecessary excesses that can adversely affect your game.
THE GOLF DOCTOR
A handy workout
BIRDIES AND BOGEYS
IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME
An important part of your body’s warning system is pain, and most of the time when something hurts, you stop using it because the pain warning says “stay away.” But according to doctors at the University of Washington School of Medicine, the pain of arthritis can be handled differently, especially in your hands, which are the only contact you have with your golf club. It’s a vicious cycle: Pain causes decreased use, and this inactivity causes the joints of your fingers to become rigid, with limited motion and greatly reduced squeezing power. While it might hurt initially to get your inelastic joints moving again, in the long run, regular exercise can help improve both their flexibility and strength. Here are two exercises that will help. Check with your doctor to make sure they are right for you. Open-and-Close Drill First, use the thumb and index finger of one hand to massage the other hand. Switch hands back and forth and cover all the joints at least twice. Next, slowly open and stretch your hand, then close it, working each joint as you make a fist. Do this as often as you can, especially when you wake up in the morning. Tennis Ball Squeeze Keep a soft rubber ball by your TV chair and desk and squeeze it every chance you get, alternating hands. Hold pressure for five seconds, then release, and do 10 reps. Even better, in my experience, is Play-Doh because you can run it through your fingers and squeeze it at odd angles to maximize your range of motion.
This golfer is trapped — her elbow is blocked by her hip, making it very difficult to square the face at impact.
— Rick Smith, a golf teacher, to ESPN.com, regarding Hank Haney’s tell-all book about Tiger Woods.
ASK THE PRO
Grip pressure varies depending on the shot Q: You’ve written about fading and drawing the ball, but I’ve tried to do it the way you described and it doesn’t work from me. Is there another way? — Rob S. A: Simply changing your setup is the best way, but there’s another. Think of it this way: Your hands control the clubface, and how tightly you hold the club determines which hand has control. When you need a slice, tighten your hold in both hands, but increase it the most in your lead hand so you can pull your club through impact butt-first. Any time you start your downswing by pulling toward the target with your lead hand, you’ll leave the clubface open, causing your ball to spin from left to right.
On a scale of 1 to 10, if your normal pressure is a 3, ratchet your fade pressure up to a 4 in your trail hand and a 6 in your lead. The increased firmness in your hands discourages wrist action, and the more stiff-wristed your swing, the more likely you are to produce a fade. To draw the ball, gear back to a 2 on your grip pressure and loosen your lead hand grip down to 1. This will loosen your wrists, giving them the flexibility to work the clubface into a slightly closed position through the hitting zone, resulting in a draw that moves away from the trouble.

LESSONS ON TOUR
Don’t change horses, or your swing, in midstream Would you rather land 12 feet or 60 feet from the hole? Of course 12 is the better number, but even good golfers ruin their chances of getting close to the hole by changing the swing that made them successful in the first place. Case in point is Sang-moon Bae at this year’s Transitions Championship. He had a good chance to win in regulation with only a wedge to No. 18 on Sunday, but he got too cute and tried to hit a sawedoff punch shot. All day his swing was full and flowing, and then suddenly, he changes to a swing that requires
completely different timing and swing mechanics. The result was a weak, off-center hit and a 60-foot putt to tie. The four-man playoff started on the same hole Bae just played, and he drove it about 2 feet to the right of the divot from his prior wedge. With exactly the same distance to the hole, he chose the same club, but this time hit a normal-swing wedge to 12 feet. He missed the putt and lost the playoff, but he learned a lesson that can help all golfers: Under pressure, stick with the swing that got you there.
WHAT SCIENCE SAYS
Could bad golf actually be contagious? We know that colds are catching and so are measles, but is obesity contagious? And if so, what else could be passed around — bad putting, perhaps? Two researchers have concluded that certain behaviors can be literally contagious, passed from person to person. Dr. Nicholas Christakis, from Harvard, and James Fowler, at the University of California, San Diego, report that a network of friends who hung out together exhibited similar levels of obesity, whereas neighbors who were not friends of the group did not. How could this be? According to the doctors, three factors are at work: (1) Members of the same milieu are shaped
in the same way. (2) People tend to choose friends like themselves, hence the extension of “I like you” is “I like you because you are like me.” And (3), the most controversial factor is contagion, defined by the Free Dictionary as “The spread of a behavior pattern, attitude or emotion from person to person or group to group through suggestion, propaganda, rumor or imitation.” While there are some dissenters in the academic community who argue the research is not valid, I do know this about contagion: “Have dinner with a good putter.” Harvey Penick’s advice to someone who wants to be a good putter works!

Gleeks rejoice
Hit Fox series returns with new episodes By Kyla Brewer TV Media
U
nbridled enthusiasm is rare these days, especially in teenagers. But Fox breathes new life into prime time with clean-cut youngsters who are ready to sing. Get ready for the return of “Glee,” Tuesday, April 10. The students and staff of McKinley High continue the drama, comedy and, most importantly, music with brand new episodes from the show’s third season. “Glee” has broken new ground, thanks to its blend of melodramatic teen angst, comedy and cheesy musical numbers that range from classic show tunes to contemporary pop songs. The show has become a powerhouse for Fox, even spawning a wildly popular concert tour and seemingly endless merchandise. Hopelessly devoted Gleeks can enjoy not only the DVD and Blu-ray releases, but also a young-adult book series, iPad apps, video games and much more. It’s been a long winter for “Glee” fans -- aka Gleeks -- who are dying to know what’s happening with the McKinley High crew since the show’s winter finale on Feb. 21. Putting such a popular show on hiatus for more than a month might seem like an unusual move, but splitting up the season
Darren Criss stars in “Glee” this way appears to follow a new prime-time trend. In fact, another Fox hit, “Bones,” returned to the schedule on April 2, following a hiatus that began on Jan. 12. Matthew Morrison leads the cast as Will Schuester, a dedicated teacher who takes over the school’s New Directions glee club and tries to inspire his young charges to believe in themselves and reach for the stars. Breakout star Lea Michele, who was on Broadway before being cast in “Glee,” plays ambitious pitch-perfect singer Rachel. Canuck Cory Monteith (rumored reallife boyfriend to Michele) portrays cool quarterback Finn, while Chris Colfer plays gay teen Kurt. Also, Kevin McHale’s Artie doesn’t let his wheelchair hold him back. Other glee club standouts include Amber Riley as powerhouse

vocalist Mercedes, Jenna Ushkowitz as Goth chick Tina and Harry Shum as dancer Mike. Dianna Agron portrays cheerleaderturned-glee-club member Quinn, alongside fellow cheerleaders Heather Morris as Brittany and Naya Rivera as Santana. Of course, every show needs a villain, and Jane Lynch fills that role to a T as conniving cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester. “Glee’s” buzz-worthy spring premiere has the blogosphere heating up with speculation as to which songs the show will be covering. In the past, the cast has performed songs by everyone from Michael Jackson and Madonna to Barbra Streisand and John Lennon. With pipes that rival some of today’s hottest stars, the show isn’t afraid to tackle musical theater either, having performed numbers from “Guys and Dolls,” “Les Misérables” and “Grease.” The music from the series may be more popular than the series itself. Shortly after the winter finale, Fox announced that the show had earned yet another groovy distinction: Soundscan ranked the show’s performances at No. 8 among the Top 10-selling digital U.S. artists of all time. It might surprise nonGleeks to know that the cast rivals such hugely popular acts as Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and the Black Eyed Peas.

Featurestory Meet the people who cover up secrets in ‘Scandal’
By Dee Wright TV Media
T
housands of people are employed with companies that dig up the scandals and secrets of public figures. But what about the people whose jobs revolve around hiding the secrets? They can’t all be bad. ABC’s new series, “Scandal,” follows the life of a crisis management firm as it struggles to help its clients hide anything they don’t want exposed. Olivia Pope and Associates consists of six communications specialists who are the best of the best at keeping their clients happy while maintaining a flawless public image. Unfortunately, the team members themselves can barely control their own lives. The series premiered last week, and it airs Thursdays, on ABC. It is loosely based on the career of former press aide Judy Smith, who worked with President H.W. Bush and helped put out fires all over Washington. Smith acts as a consultant for the series, providing advice and insight to what would have really happened in certain situations, which gives the series a flair of authenticity. For this new drama, ABC has turned to its tried-and-true creator, Shonda Rhimes. Rhimes is the brains and head writer for several of ABC’s other big series, most notably “Off the Map,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Private Practice.” “Scandal” has a bit of a different angle than her typical medical dramedies do. While “Grey’s” and “Practice” also focus on a tightknit group of coworkers, the main characters are often just as vulnerable as the other members of the group. In “Scandal,” however, team

The cast of “Scandal” leader Olivia Pope seems to be the only person who has her head above water -- and the others are pulling her down. “I don’t think my shows are necessarily medical shows or political shows or fixer shows,” Rhimes said in an interview with the Television Critic’s Association. “The show is about strong, smart women and a lot of flawed, interesting people.” Pope used to work in the White House as a senior communications director, but she left that role to start her own firm. Now, even though she has resigned from her official work with the president, her successor -- and the President himself -- is close at hand to ask for help. In the premiere episode that aired last week, the President was accused of having an affair with a White House intern and Pope had to step in to protect the leader’s reputation. Pope is played by Kerry Washington, who has very little experience in television at all. She’s starred in a few episodes here and there of “Boston Legal,” as well as
a five-episode arc on “100 Centre Street” on A&E, but her biggest presence has been on the silver screen. She starred as Patrick Wilson’s wife in “Lakeview Terrace” (2008) and Ray Charles’s wife in “Ray” (2004). She won several notable awards for the latter role, including a Teen Choice Award and a Satellite Award. The film was also up for Best Picture, but it had little chance up against the box-office powerhouses “Million Dollar Baby” and “The Aviator.” Pope’s right-hand man is Stephen Finch, played by Henry Ian Cusick. Finch was a ladies’ man before he realized that he wants to settle down and start a family with some lucky lady. Unfortunately, his reputation precedes him, and few women will go near him anymore. One woman who does want to be with Finch is Abby Whelan, the team’s investigator. Whelan is so intent on getting Finch to notice her that she lets her job slide, and Pope ends up giving her several warnings about her performance. Harrison Wright is the firm’s le-

The newest hire is Quinn Perkins, who is played by Katie Lowes. Perkins is amazed by the work of the firm and she’s willing to do everything she can to help, but even Pope herself is hesitant about Perkins’s ability to handle the pressure.

wealthy passengers who snuck or swindled their way onto some of the few lifeboats, leaving so many others to suffer a terrifying death. Viewers will recognize the show’s host, Goodman, as one of the judges on ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars.” The British professional dancer is actually loosely con-
day, April 14, the world will mark the 100th anniversary of the infamous sinking of the RMS Titanic, which struck an iceberg that day in 1912 just before midnight and quickly sank before it could reach American shores. Solid statistics are hard to come by, but according to TitanicFacts.net, there were more than 2,200 passengers and crew members on board, and just over 700 of them survived the maritime disaster. As the world mourns those who were lost on the centenary, the memory of that fateful day is being kept alive, in part, by two specials scheduled to air on PBS. On Tuesday, April 10, the network will premiere “The Titanic With Len Goodman,” a new story that introduces history aficionados to some of the men who helped build the ship but died when it sank. It’ll also reveal the tales of some of the disasLen Goodman hosts the ter’s survivors, spePBS special “The Titanic cifically the descenWith Len Goodman” dants of some of the
nected to the tragedy: he previously worked as a welder for Harland and Wolff, the company that built the ship in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and is still in operation there today. PBS will air multiple encore presentations of this special later in the week. Check your local listings. On Wednesday, April 18, the network will debut a new “Nova” segment titled “Why Ships Sink,” which examines exactly how safe it is on a cruise liner, even in modern times with improved building procedures and on-board safety regulations. Considering the centenary of Titanic’s sinking and the recent sinking of the Costa Concordia this January, this is a very timely investigation. BRAINS ARE COOL: “Revenge of the Nerds” may have been a hit film back in 1984, but recent trends suggest that the true revenge has only recently begun, in what has been dubbed “the age of the nerd.” Look no further than the popularity of CBS’s “The Big Bang Theory” and the success of comic-book franchises as proof of this reality. TBS is hopping on the spaceship-shaped bandwagon by announcing that it has commissioned a new reality-competition series celebrating the geekdom, called “King of the Nerds.” What’s more, the series will be hosted by “Revenge of the

Nerds” stars Robert Carradine and Curtis Armstrong. So far, the cabler has ordered eight episodes of the series, which will nicely complement its reruns of “The Big Bang Theory,” for which the network recently required the syndication rights. “It’s been said we’re living in the ‘Age of the Nerd,’ and if so, what better way to acknowledge that than to have a competition to crown the ‘King of the Nerds,’” said TBS’s Michael Wright. “’King of the Nerds’ is a lot of fun, and it not only celebrates nerd culture but also illuminates it. We believe ‘King of the Nerds’ is an ideal fit with ‘The Big Bang Theory,’ and
we look forward to having it on the network.” The competition will welcome nerds from all walks of life to see who among them possesses the greatest intellect, skills, ingenuity and pop-culture knowledge. They will start the contest by working in teams, which will eventually be split up so that each contestant stands alone for more challenges. In addition to “Revenge of the Nerds,” Carradine is also known for his roles in the “Lizzie Maguire” series and its 2003 big-screen spinoff. Armstrong starred in “Akeelah and the Bee” (2006), “Ray” (2004) and “Risky Business” (1983).

‘Chopped All-Stars’ returns with more big names competing TV Media
A
s the saying goes: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. When the first “Chopped All-Stars” premiered in March of last year, the ratings went through the roof as it became the most-watched cable show that night. It wasn’t just the premiere, either -- the entire five-week run helped deliver big numbers for the network. So, it comes as no surprise that the Food Network should roll out the red carpet for a second edition, which gets underway this Sunday, April 8. Sixteen famous faces have signed on to battle it out in the kitchen – against each other and against the clock – as they race to create top-quality dishes from mystery ingredients. First up: famous faces from another top-rated Food series, “Iron Chef,” step out of Kitchen Stadium and head into the “Chopped” kitchen. Although Cat Cora, Marc Forgione, Jose Garces and Michael Symon might be used to working under pressure, they’ll be dealing with more than one mystery ingredient in this competition, and they won’t be getting any help from assistants. Other rounds include a “Prime Time vs. Day Time” battle between Food and Cooking Channel’s talent, with Keegan Gerhard (“Food Network Challenge”), Jeffrey Saad (“United Tastes of America”), Aarti Sequeira (“Aarti Party”) and Marcela Valladolid (“Mexican Made Easy”). The following week features a “Food Network Star” battle between Justin Balmes, Penny Davidi, Vic “Vegas” Moea and Chris Nirschel. But it’s the “Chopped” judges-

Nashville strong in Western Conference
By Joel Duplessis TV Media
A
fter a long and punishing regular season, 16 teams have qualified to compete in the NHL’s two-month quest for the Stanley Cup. The puck drops on hockey’s “second” season, on Wednesday, April 11, and the Nashville Predators are trending as a potential dark horse to emerge from the Western Conference fray. Nashville took a big step forward in last year’s playoffs when they knocked off the Anaheim Ducks in Round 1 – the franchise’s first post-season series victory. Although they would lose out in the conference semi-finals to the Vancouver Canucks, the Predators had established themselves as an emerging young team on the verge of Cup contention. In the eve of this year’s playoff run, Preds fans are giddy with anticipation as their team is wellequipped with the tools needed to make a deep run in the post(62) NBCSN Red Bull Signature

season tournament. Optimism in Nashville is credited to the work of GM David Poile, who has bolstered his lineup with weapons that make this team dangerous. First, the acquisition of 6-foot-7 defensive guru Hal Gill (from the Montreal Canadiens) gives the Preds more size in the back end, and his prowess on the penalty kill is priceless this time of year. In another deal with Montreal, Nashville acquired skilled winger Andrei Kostitsyn who was reunited with his brother Sergei, after having played together with the Canadiens. The Kostitsyns have shown chemistry together in the past and both have thrived since leaving Montreal. The addition that puts the Preds over the top is superstar Alexander Radulov. A star in Russia, Radulov was originally drafted by Nashville but chose to play in the KHL, where he’s the league’s career scoring leader – earning the reputation as the best player not in the NHL.

HollywoodQ&A
By Adam Thomlison TV Media Q: Do people on reality shows such as “America’s Next Top Model” or “Top Chef” get paid? A: Producers are, understandably, hesitant to talk about who gets paid what on reality TV shows. There’s enough bitterness between contestants already, without giving them a chance to compare paychecks in public. However, under the constant media gaze, information has come out that most do, indeed, get something. Unfortunately, the two shows you cite specifically, “America’s Next Top Model” and “Top Chef,” are among the more secretive ones. No information has been released about what, if anything, they give their contestants, aside
from a shot at fame in their given fields. Other shows have been a little more open about their compensation, and, according to the experts, the amount depends on the type of show. Shows with big prizes, such as “Survivor” and “The Amazing Race,” tend to give a descending amount of the purse to every contestant. In 2005, “Today Show” reality-TV expert Andy Dehnart reported that the winning team on “The Amazing Race” takes home $1 million, while the first team to get the boot gets $1,500 for their trouble. However, some shows also offer cash stipends for their contestants. In 2007, Dehnart reported that “Big Brother” house guests get about $750 per week (though he said that the check for the all-star
season reportedly went up to $4,000 per week), and that “Real World” roommates get something, too, though they won’t say how much. “I used to say it was enough to buy a used car,” executive producer Jonathan Murray told “USA Today.” “Now it’s probably not quite as big a used car.” “American Idol,” the biggest reality show on the block, is a more complex setup. According to “USA Today,” the would-be pop stars don’t get anything unless they reach the final 12, at which point they must join the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists union, and they begin receiving a proper paycheck of at least $921 per episode. Union membership means they also get royalty checks for reruns and DVD sales of the episodes in which they appear.
Q: Can you think of any spinoff series that lasted longer than the original? A: Surprisingly, there are plenty. “Happy Days” is a good example. The legendary, family-friendly hit ran for 11 seasons on ABC from 1974 to 1984, surpassing its parent show, “Love, American Style” by six seasons. “Happy Days” debuted as a segment on “Love, American Style,” which was an anthology series that featured two or three stories per episode. Another ABC sitcom, “Family Matters,” ran for nine seasons -one season longer than its predecessor, “Perfect Strangers.” (“Family Matters” matriarch Harriet Winslow originated as an elevator operator at the newspaper office on “Perfect Strangers.”) NBC’s “Frasier” also tied its parent series, “Cheers,” at 11 seasons.

In the reality-TV genre (and again on ABC, which has done well in the spinoff business), the critically acclaimed and popular “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” which just wrapped its ninth and final season, far outlasted its four-season parent, “Extreme Makeover.” Other examples include the Robert Guillaume sitcom “Benson” (a spinoff of “Soap”), the Dick Van Dyke mystery series “Diagnosis Murder” (which spun off from an episode of “Jake and the Fatman”), and, for the geeks, “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” which more than doubled the run of the surprisingly short-lived original.
