Lovers of photography, painting and bottles of Bella Rosa, rejoice: next week’s third annual Wine & Art Saturday, a collaboration between Lake Erie Wine Country, Western New York’s North Shore Arts Alliance and Pennsylvania’s North East Arts Council, brings together some of the region’s finest artists and wineries in celebration of local craftsmanship. On April 14 between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., 21 wineries from the Lake Erie Wine Country trail (with the exception of Arrowhead Wine Cellars and Sensory Winery & Art Gallery, which regularly display artwork) will not only be displaying local artwork, but hosting several artists who will be working on site and ready to Featured artist Tom Annear’s painting “Canadaway Waterfalls,” on converse with attendees. display at 21 Brix Winery.

The people who develop and create the wine are artists, too,” said fellow artist Elora Esce, whose fine art photography at Mazza Chautauqua Cellars is a new addition to the Wine & Art Saturday. “It is wonderful to have events like this for the community’s enjoyment, and what could be more important than making people happy?” New York’s Wine & Art Saturday participants include: Portland’s 21 Brix Winery (artists Tom Annear and George Petrella), South Ripley’s Blueberry Sky Farm Winery (Sue Wolfe), Westfield’s Johnson Estate Winery (Lilla Johnson, Harold Nass, and Sue Murphy), Vetter Vineyards Winery (Linda Lavid), Seven Vines Winery (Bill Karrow), and Noble Winery (James Hoggard and Sue Wolfe), Mayville’s Mazza Chautauqua Cellars (Elora Esce), Ripley’s Quincy Cellars Winery (Tim Sivertsen and Alberta Parker), Sheridan’s Liberty Vineyards (Nancy Hutchinson and Sue Mackay), Forestville’s Merritt Estate Winery (Bill Smith), Silver Creek’s Willow Creek Winery (Steve Yunghans), and Fredonia’s Woodbury Vineyards (Ronnie Lafferty).

SUNY Fredonia’s Earth Week 2012

Entertainment Editor

For the last four years SUNY Fredonia has celebrated Earth Day with a weeks worth of events that cover everything from education to art, music and appreciation of the planet. That tradition continues this year from April 14 through April 22 with events scheduled every day. Even though the week doesn’t begin until April 14 there have already been a few events to kick off the celebration. Two speakers have visited the campus and local area to promote awareness. Dr. Chrsitine Wertheim visited on March 29 to speak about the Hyberbolic Crochet Coral Reef Project and Guy McPherson visited on April 2 to speak about global climate change, energy decline and “Convergence Impacts and Building Sustainable Communities.” These events were planned by the Art Department and by Dr. Christina Jarvis. “I appreciate anytime we can get an outside perspective,” said previous Earth Week coordinator Dr. Sherri Mason. “Many of my students attended Guy McPherson’s lectures and after were seeking reassurance. But, the reality is that things don’t look really good. He spoke about a crash of the system within the next year. And, although I don’t think it will come that soon; it’s possible it could within the next five. We’re a buffered system that resists change and those systems get to point where

they drop really quickly. But, I do have hope. We need to put in an infrastructure for renewable energies and use the remaining fossil fuels to do that. And, it’s kind of happening but not fast enough. So, we need to do things on our own and that’s what was so good about McPherson’s night lecture. He spoke about how he built a sustainable community and that what he is doing shouldn’t or can’t be what everyone does. But, it is important for people to realize that what they do might look different because there is no one size fits all solution. It’s going to require people engaging and thinking in ways that they haven’t before.” And, that’s where Earth Week comes in with a weeks worth of events to promote awareness. The celebration officially starts on April 14 with the first event being a cleaning up of the quad areas on the SUNY Fredonia campus. But, the clean up effort won’t be contained to the campus. On April 15 there will be a Trash

Crawl located in downtown Fredonia and then a Lake Erie beach clean up at Point Gratiot. The clean ups are an annual tradition started four years ago. And, according to Student Coordinator Hannah Farley they are an important aspect of the Earth Week celebration. “We do two cleanups every year because it is a great help to clean up the streets and Lake Erie,” said Farley. “There have been over 100,000 plastic cigarette filters washed ashore the Great Lakes. Animals end up eating them and getting them stuck in their stomach and then die. We’re actually working on our first ever Plastic Waste Pollution Assessment of the Great Lakes. It’s the same thing that they did at the Five Plastic Gyres located in the oceans. We need to start paying more attention to what we’re doing otherwise we’re going to lose what we have.” The Earth Week celebration has been planned by a number of people over

the years. Dr. Mason and Dr. Jarvis have both headed up the event since it started four years ago. This year Mason appointed Farley to plan the majority of the events. Together with the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA), the Campus Climate Challenge (CCC) and the Students for Free Enterprise (SIFE) Farley has created a program that she hopes will inspire the campus and community to become more aware of their impact on the environment and the dire consequences of man made industry. “Earth Week raises awareness about the issues that are associated with the human impact on the environment,” said Farley. “Celebrations like Earth Day bring the environment up front to address the problems we face together. But, it is really about what individuals do that makes an impact. And, that’s why our goal is to promote sustainability in every day life.” There are a great number of events planned throughout the week. One event that Farley is really looking forward to is the Eco-Fashion Show scheduled on April 20. The event has been spearheaded by another student named Lauren Piche. It will feature volunteer models wearing hand made creations, thrift and vintage outfits from Fredonia’s Autra Vez. The winners of the Reusable Bag contest scheduled on April 18 will also be modeling their creations. After the event the bags will go on display in the library.

sustainability made without using tons of fuel to get it.” April 17 features another local business from Fredonia. Natural products will be purchased from Nature Network to be used for the Green Your Morning Routine workshop. Attendees will learn how to make eco-friendly bathing soaps and cosmetics that are sulfate, paraben and dye free. Then on April 18 a Flash Mob will appear at University Commons to witness the “Bag Monster” on the loose. This event means to raise awareness about the waste that plastic bags create. Free reusable bags and info sheets will be handed out. “There are places in the United States that have banned or put taxes on plastic bags,” said Farley. “Fredonia is trying to become one of those places.” Plus, April 21 will feature a Nature Walk at the Campus Lodge led by Terence Mosher. Mosher is professor in the English Department. According to Farley this will be the first ever organized nature walk at the Campus Lodge and will hopefully promote appreciation for what we have and to keep it that way. The “Make Your Mark” Native Tree Planting scheduled for April 22 is an event planned by SIFE. Trees will be purchased by individuals or groups for $30. For each tree purchased, one tree will be donated to an area in the world in need of trees. Trees will be planted by the purchaser on campus, in town in designated areas, or for your own yard. The designated areas in town have been approved by Fredonia’s Mayor O’Keefe. “There are a lot of places around the world going through desertification,” said Farley. “The climate is changing so vegetation is dying off

One very important event called “Test-the-Tap” is scheduled on April 16. During this event volunteer tasters will sample different types of water including bottled, tap water and filtered water. “We want to see if people can tell the difference,” said Farley. “And, there will be info sheets available on the hazards of drinking bottled water. For instance, there is a lot of chemical leeching into the water. And, although we know they are harmful they are very minimally regulated. So, we’re hoping we can get people thinking about whether or not they really need bottled water.” Dr. Sherri Mason takes a slightly more scientific approach to discouraging the use of plastic bottled water and had much to add about the dangers they pose. “There isn’t a human being on the planet who hasn’t been exposed to the chemicals in plastic,” said Dr. Mason. “This happens because 99 percent of water is contaminated by these chemicals. But, the problem is that you can’t prove any of these chemicals are causing one particular effect. And, never have they been tested in terms of synergistic effects. If you’re looking at a suite of these compounds in your water there is no telling what potential effects they could have.” Also scheduled for April 16 is the Seed Starting Workshop where Attendees will learn to sow seeds, raise plants and cook with an assortment of herbs. This event is sponsored by Sarah Sorci of the Chautauqua County Rural Ministry’s Gleaning Project. “One of the big issues with sustainability is that we don’t really grow our own food,” said Farley. “So, the point of this workshop is to show people how food is naturally and

or new vegetation is taking place. So, trees will be planted in these places where it is absolutely necessary.” The final event is scheduled on April 26 at the clock tower at SUNY Fredonia. The event will feature a Native Plant Garden Planting where attendees will plant native wildflower species in the native garden by the woodlot. This workshop is led by Dr. Jonathan Titus of the biology department. “It’s very important to preserve native species,” said Farley. “The organisms here have adapted to symbiotically work together and it’s important to preserve that relationship.” SUNY Fredonia’s Earth Week provides a great number of opportunities for the community to get involved and become aware of the impact man is having on the environment.

Chautauqua County has a vast and diverse agricultural economy, but our small farms are encountering barriers to entering wholesale markets such as restaurants and schools. In addition, there are food desert areas within Chautauqua County that do not provide adequate access to fresh fruits and vegetables, which could be solved by increasing utilization of locally grown produce. There are several organizations, agencies, individuals, and businesses that are working on “local foods projects.” These efforts are bringing wonderful potential for improving the distribution and

In order to connect the various projects occurring around this topic, Cornell Cooperative Extension will host a meeting on April 12 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m at the Frank W. Bratt Agricultural Center (3542 Turner Road, Jamestown, NY).

What the Resurrection Means to You Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church of the Southern Tier

The resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ is the iron-clad guarantee that we are no longer the property of the devil. It is the greatest achievement that ever occurred in Heaven or in earth. Jesus Christ, the great emancipator, was demonstrating His sheer supremacy over evil. The resurrection is what gives God the legal right to grant to us eternal life. The resurrection is God’s way of rendering your past obsolete. At the resurrection, new life was promised and now all men have the opportunity to become New Creations. The resurrection was the invitation for God to dwell within humanity again. God had not lived within the spirit of man since the Garden of Eden. The resurrection was God’s homecoming. The resurrection abolished humanity’s enslavement to sin and turned the slaves into masters. Hebrews 2:14-15 says it like this: “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, Jesus also Himself took part of the same that through death He might

destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” When Jesus rose again, the devil’s spine was severed. Satan is paralyzed and no longer has any legal claim to humanity. Fear is a trespasser. Sickness is a trespasser. If we choose to worry then we choose to put ourselves back in prison. Bondage should be foreign territory to a Christian. When Christ rose again, destruction fell upon the devil and his kingdom. Like the atom bomb was to the Japanese army in World War II, so the resurrection brought the devil to his knees. Sometimes we are clueless to what Jesus arose from. The grave was the least of it. Hell was the most of it. The scriptures are clear: Christ sank into hell and paid our debt there. Acts 2:31 and Ephesians 4:9 make that obvious. But Colossians 2:15 gives us a dramatic picture. Weymouth’s translation says, “And the hostile princes and rulers He (Jesus) shook off from Himself, and boldly displayed them as His conquests, when by the cross,

Sinclairville Seniors Hold Fun Auction at Meeting Contributed Article JS Sipos

The recent gathering of the Sinclairville Senior Citizens group included a fun auction of items, conducted by auctioneer President Elaine Palmer-Titus. The opening bid on the very first item was by Nellie Sharp who was waving her right hand in the air saying I want that round tray for my house. Secretary John Sipos told the others, this is the way the bidding is to be done, with enthusiasm and a desire to have the items. Thex auction, assisted by member Diman Smith, sold many items for the good of the organization, and brought a lot of laughter and an enjoyable time for all. The meeting which began with a luncheon at the Sinclairville Firehall Community Dining room, was opened with a prayer led by President Titus, asking that we remember those who are ill and those standing in need. A variety of food was brought by the members and there was more than ample amounts for all.

As always, a fancy dessert was prepared by sunshine chairman Betty Wielgasz. Festive table decorations were provided by Marge McIntyre and Claudia Wittenbrook. Drawings were conducted by Bill Wittenbrook. Recipients included Louisa Smith, Jim Odell, Elaine Palmer-Titus, Linda Parmenter, Nellie Sharp, Fran Odell, Betty Wielgasz, Diman Smith, Martha Harmon, Laura Turzillo, Marge McIntyre, Claudia Wittenbrook, Bill Wittenbrook, Diane Shaw, Susan Sipos and John Sipos. Laura Turzillo, Claudia Wittenbrook and Diane Shaw were honored for their birthdays and the birthday song was sung to them. The next meeting will be on the second Tuesday in May at noon in the Sinclairville Firehall Community dining room. Table decorations will be coordinated by Diman Smith with many others helping. The lunch will be a tureen dinner. The program will be the Tanglewood Musical Group. New members are always welcome.

He triumphed over them.” How often we have forgotten the wicked forces that piled upon Christ when He was sent to the regions of the lost. He died like a sinner. He suffered in the place of sinners. On earth, Jesus had the Holy Spirit beyond measure. In hell, He had not one precious drop of the Spirit. That is until the price was fully paid, and then, as Romans 8:11 tells us, the Spirit came upon Him and empowered Him in that awful place and He cast of every fowl dog that was upon Him. He didn’t stop there. It says that Christ then toted these fowl spirits around hell and displayed them like a hunter displays his trophies. In Revelation 1:18 Jesus says, “I am He that lives and was dead (physically and spiritually), and behold I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and death.” Before Christ rose out of that place, He took the keys and left the doors unlocked. But you must call upon His Name to know this salvation. You must surrender your life like redeemed property is brought back to its lawful owner. You must not buck against His claim to your life!

Dear Pastor, the messages I hear at my church don’t seem to relate to my life. Is it supposed to be this way?

By Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church of Chautauqua County

Your question reminds me of a scripture passage that tells about the earthly ministry of Jesus. Matthew 7:28-29 says, “And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at His doctrine: (29) For He taught them as One having authority, and not as the scribes.” Before Jesus arrived on the scene, teachings about God were focused on obedience to the Law and weren’t

concerned with what people thought or the condition of their heart. Jesus taught the people the truth behind the laws, as His Father desired. The scribes were the religious teachers of their day and taught the commandments of God in a “dry” and hard to understand way. When Jesus began His teaching ministry, people were astonished. Why? When Jesus taught it actually made sense and could be applied to their daily life! Jesus was a dynamic speaker who made His teaching so straightforward that even a child or an uneducated person could “get it.” Jesus didn’t use big theological terms, but instead, used illustrations or examples from the world that folks could relate to. Jesus’ teaching in the Gospels gives many lessons in the form of parables, or stories, using ideas common to the farmers, herders, fisherman, and merchants of the culture. So, to respond to your question, the messages in your church should relate to your

life in some way. It is God’s desire that the message of the Gospel be relevant and applicable to everyone’s life. Before you decide to change churches, however, you may want to consider a few things. First, you should examine your heart and make sure that your attitude is right when you go to church. A closed heart will not receive, no matter how good the teaching is. Secondly, you may consider supplementing your spiritual growth through faith building books and tapes while continuing to attend your church. If you have made an honest effort and still feel that you are not growing spiritually in your present church, you may then want to pray and ask God where He wants you. Trust that He will lead you to the right church and keep your heart open for direction in this area. Remember, God will not leave a hungry heart unsatisfied!

SENIOR SECTION Tech Training 101 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 3: Operating Systems I do hope you’re enjoying reading this column as much as I enjoy writing it. So far we’ve looked at the hardware behind the screen; the ins and outs that make a computer run. This week, we’re going to do a little research on the software inside the computer. First, let’s differentiate between software and hardware. Hardware is anything that is solid material. You can touch it, throw it, bang it and clean it. The computer itself is hardware. The Hard Drive (week one) is hardware. The processor (week two) is hardware.

But much like a human body without a spirit, these are all just the inner workings that make the computer alive. It is the software that gives the computer its ability to compute. That makes it more than just a series of expensive parts; but transforms it into something that you can use and interact with to make your life easier. Software is any program that runs on your computer. Some software, referred to as firmware, is more important to the computer than others. This firmware must be in place for the software to do it’s job, but it is still software. Odds are you won’t interact with firmware. That’s for the folks that make the big bucks. The first basic form of software is the Operating System (OS). Now, the typical user cannot interact with the files that make the operating system what it is. If you do, then you run into problems. But you should know about the OS you’re dealing with, especially if you’re looking to buy a computer. The two mainstream, corpo-

rate operating systems are Microsoft’s Windows, and Apple’s Mac OS X. You’ve likely heard both these names before, as they are two of the largest companies in the world. Both run on coded platform that is ingrained in your computer. Windows find its roots in the DOS system, created by IBM. A machine running this is usually referred to as a PC, short for personal computer. Apple’s system is based in Linux coding. Both are the root programming necessary for the operating system to function. Both are different which is why you cannot run some programs on a Mac that you can run on a PC, etc. Think of it this way. A PC runs its engine using gasoline, while a Mac runs on diesel. You get similar results, but the process is completely different. Both operating systems have their benefits and faults, something I’ll not get into in this column. My goal is merely to educate, not spout my opinions. You should do ample research though before

purchasing. Price is important, but it’s not everything. Stores like Best Buy have a vast amount of computers in their stores for you to use. You can actually play around with them, ask questions and see the differences in person. Then, you can make an educated decision on what works best for you. Ask others, as well. The best source of advertising is wordof-mouth. Find someone who uses a PC and someone who uses a Mac and ask them what they like and dislike. Keep in mind that you may purchase something new and not like it right away- but that doesn’t mean to give up! Push through the growing pains until your computer does what you want it to do. It is possible, you just have to figure out how to communicate with 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.

Everyone Has A Story

Susan Forrester-MacKay By Patricia Pihl Editor

Art imitating life is an axiom that holds true for many artists and Susan Forrester-MacKay’s is among those whose life experience has also impacted her work. Her subjects have always reflected the lives of those around her. That has included the serious face of an impoverished Mexican child, or the ‘stories’ told in the portraits of patrons visiting an outdoor Savannah bistro. In another piece she calls “Looking For America,” MacKay portrays her sister on her daily journey to and from work, looking out of the window of a CARTS bus. And now as a grandmother, she now finds herself painting babies. Of her work, MacKay says, “The subject of huSusan Forrester-MacKay selects portraits for upcoming events at her art studio in Fredonia. man beings and their interactions is an endless which still held a special place “ran away to Arizona.” In has also traveled extensively, source of fascination for in her heart. adding to the breath of her life Arizona and in Virginia, she me; hence, most of my work was a social worker for 20 to experience. is figurative and evocative, Once home, MacKay went 25 years and at the time her focusing on the variety of back to work.

She move back home to Fredonia, of the board of festivals in

Fredonia. She also served as a Fredonia Village trustee for two terms a position she ran for somewhat reluctantly, after being urged by then mayor Frank Pagano to “be on his team.” Feeling a sense of civic duty, MacKay says “there are things I can’t complain about if I don’t step up and do something.” She admits that social justice, women’s and children’s issues have always been important to her, adding parenthetically, that she was a marcher in the sixties. “How could you go through the sixties and seventies and not be political?”

Even her work as a trustee affected her art, which she said became “very tight and detailed” as a result. Another feature of her work is capturing the “attitude” of the subject in her paintings. More artists should be politicians, she says, because they can bring a different perspective, a “right brain,” quality, which allows them to see the whole picture as well as having an appreciation for the world. Of the trustee position, she says, “It really is a tough job.” Many times, she says, politicians have heard it all before so they tend to dismiss ideas with the mentality, “we’ve tried that once and it didn’t work.” Or, she says, they become too concerned about being elected again. “You shouldn’t want it too much.” MacKay is responsible for securing funds from a Department of Agriculture grant which will allow 30 trees to be planted in the village on Earth Day. “That’s one of the things that makes Fredonia so attractive, it’s a tree-lined village.” MacKay’s work will be featured at Liberty Winery in Sheridan during Wine and Art Weekend, on Saturday, April 14. On Memorial Day Weekend, there will be a public reception at her studio, at 73 Eagle Street in Fredonia.

Preventing Seasonal Allergy Symptoms Contributed Article AikenStandard.com

Spring means blooming flowers, new leaves on trees and green grass. But for millions of people, spring also means seasonal allergies. Also known as allergic rhinitis or hay fever, seasonal allergies are caused by pollen produced by plants. Tree pollen is the most common culprit in the spring, with grass and ragweed in the summer and fall, respectively. Allergy symptoms - watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, congestion and cough - may start within 5 to 10 minutes of exposure in sensitive individuals and last for hours. Seasonal allergies are an abnormal response of the immune system to pollen. Inhaled pollen acts as an allergen, which stimulates the immune system to produce

antibodies, including IgE. Antibodies are produced whenever the immune system encounters a foreign antigen, whether it is a virus or pollen. The IgE stimulates specialized cells in the airways called mast cells to produce histamines, which cause the familiar symptoms of seasonal allergies. This is the same process that causes allergies to dust mites, animal dander and certain foods. Since histamines are an important step in the response to allergens, seasonal allergies can be treated by using antihistamine drugs such as fexofenadine (Allegra), loratadine (Claritin), cetirizine (Zyrtec) and diphenhydramine (Benadryl). Some antihistamines also include a decongestant (Claritin-D, for example). Allergy symptoms can be

diminished by reducing exposure to pollen. This means keeping the windows of your home and car closed and minimizing outdoor activity when pollen levels are highest, particularly early in the morning, on windy days and when the pollen count is high. Pollen levels are often reported with weather forecasts. People often ask if it is safe to exercise if they have seasonal allergies. In most cases, the answer is yes. Allergy symptoms are typically similar to cold symptoms, so the usual advice about exercise with a cold also applies: If the symptoms are above your neck (runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing), it is safe to exercise. That said, allergy symptoms are based on exposure to pollen and the more you inhale, the worse your symptoms. Since your ventilation increases significantly

during exercise, so does your exposure to pollen. This does not mean that you can’t or shouldn’t exercise if you have allergies. You may be able to exercise outdoors on days in which the pollen count is lower, especially if you do lowerintensity exercise like walking. Antihistamine medications may help ease the symptoms and shouldn’t interfere with exercise. For many people, allergy season is a good time to exercise indoors. Walking on a treadmill or indoor track or participating in a group exercise class at a local gym are great ways to stay active on days when exercise outdoors just won’t work. The bottom line is that seasonal allergies shouldn’t keep you from exercising. There are some cases in which exercise with allergies could

be more serious. Exerciseinduced bronchospasm (EIB), also called exercise-induced asthma, is a condition that affects the majority of people with asthma, many of whom also have seasonal allergies. EIB is thought to be caused by the cooling and drying of the airways due to the high ventilation during exercise or exposure to particulate matter in the air, typically from pollutants, or pollen. EIB results in the constriction of airways, severely limiting airflow into the lungs. Asthmatics typically carry a rescue inhaler (bronchodilator) during exercise for this reason. Interestingly, EIB also occurs in athletes, including those who compete at the Olympic level. It is more common among athletes competing in outdoor winter events (cooling and drying of airways) and indoor ice events (pol-

lutants from ice resurfacing equipment). Through careful warm-up and use of certain approved medications, athletes with allergies and EIB can successfully compete at an elite level. Brian Parr, Ph.D., is an associate professor in the Department of Exercise and Sports Science at USC Aiken where he teaches courses in exercise physiology, nutrition and health behavior. He is a member of the American College of Sports Medicine and is an ACSM certified clinical exercise specialist; his research focuses on physical activity in weight management and the impact of the environment on activity and diet. Parr lives in Aiken with his wife, Laura, and sons Noah, Owen and Simon.

hand side of the page. The paint brush element in the background is from the Sweet Shoppe (sweetshoppedesigns. com) “Brighter Days Ahead” collection. I added an overlay at 25% opacity, with a color taken directly from the photo to better coordinate with the layout. The paint spatter is from the same collection, but with an overlay at 70% opacity with another color taken from the reflection in the water on the photo, giving it a pinker hue without overwhelming the eye. The frame is also from the Brighter Days Ahead collection, with another overlay at 25% opacity with the yellow from the setting sun warming up the color just slightly, but enough to add that certain “something” to the layout. Finally, the rope embellishment was left alone, but added to the right hand corner to bring the eye up and to the other side of the page, and keeping with the nautical theme. I just added the date and place where the photo was taken in the “Pieces of Eight” font at the lower right side of the page, to counteract the rope element and complete the “visual triangle” of “heavy” ele-

ments. I added a drop shadow at 8px to bring some depth, an overlay (again, taking the color from the water) at 75% opacity and a satin with a “linear burn” effect at 18% for added texture. The simple layout and minimal embellishments on this will bring consistency to the album this layout will eventually wind up in, without overwhelming the viewer or distracting them from the star of this show – Mother Nature herself. Next week will be about the next best thing to sunsets: food! How do you scrap food and mealtime photos? Send me a line and your ideas may be featured in a future column.

YWCA Westfield News By Katie Smith Contributing Writer

Spaghetti Dinner “A great success,” that’s how child services director Brenda Backus described the annual YWCA spaghetti dinner. “with the help of Evelyn Quagliana, Renee Kawski and our board members we served over 250 dinners. In addition, we had help from a number of our After School Advantage students and staff – they were invaluable in keeping the dining room running smoothly. Staff, board members and parents provided home made desserts, area businesses donated and overall it’s a group

effort.” She continued. Proceeds from this event are used offset the costs associated with the youth services provided at the YWCA, including field trips, summer activities and supplies. Drop In Privileges The YWCA gym remains available after school and during holidays for middle and high school students with some minor adjustments. All students are now asked to check in at the main office prior to using the gym. “Often we have made other plans for the gym, the parties involved have questions regarding who should be in there when,” reported administrative assistant Michelle Sunday

Warner’ “having our guests check in will just allow us to give everyone a higher level of service and consideration”. Yard Sale Tables still remain for the YWCA Yard and Rummage Sale, set for Saturday, April 28. Individuals wishing to sell their own items are encouraged to call and rent a table and space inside the YWCA. Anyone with items they would like to donate to the YWCA for sale is encouraged to call the YWCA at 326.2011 and arrange for drop off. “This is the perfect chance to sell some personal items and make money, or donate your still usable goods to the YWCA and help us

raise money,” said Priscilla Malarkey, event organizer. “I love this kind of a sale and I’m looking forward to welcoming people to the Y on the 28th. Set up is early in the day and we will open the doors to the public at 10 AM, in addition we will be offering a lunch to the vendors and guests alike.” Table reservations, donations and more information is available by contacting the YWCA.

WOMEN’S SECTION Scrapbooking Today Scrapping in the Sky

By Anne Walterich Contributing Writer

I’m almost grateful that I didn’t take a photography class until my senior year of high school. I fell in love with photography then and have always been “that girl” at parties and social gatherings, snapping photos both for and of everyone, taking a break from behind the lens only when I need a cocktail or an appetizer. Since my boyfriend bought me the Nikon D90 for Christmas almost two years ago, I’ve barely let that camera strap leave my neck. (Thank you, Jim! You’re the best!) I take at least one photo every day, but oftentimes many more. Now that almost everyone uses digital cameras, smartphones and webcams, we can, and do, document the most mundane as well as the most beautiful parts of our lives. Going through my twitpic. com and yfrog.com accounts the other day, I realize that I have two favorite themes: sunsets and food. Both are mundane, in that the sun sets every night, and we all have

to eat every day. Yet as a lover of nature’s beauty and a lover of good food, I feel that these are some of the most remarkable subjects to photograph, but some of the hardest to scrapbook successfully. I have the honor and privilege to live in Sunset Bay, with the breathtaking views of Lake Erie directly outside of my windows. It is, without a doubt, one of the most spectacular places on earth to be at the end of the day, with the sun sinking slowly into the horizon, completing another day on this fantastic planet we call home. I am truly blessed, and have thousands of photos of sunsets from right outside my door. The one in today’s layout, though, came from a January vacation in Fort Myers, and I have zero regrets about not being in Sunset Bay at that time of the year. Overall, it’s difficult to scrap sunset photos, simply because they are naturally so magnificent. The normal journaling, titles and embellishments just don’t work for photos like these because they don’t add to what is already there, but rather distract the viewer from the photo. Yet to add

these photos into a scrapbook album, one needs to do something to keep the album’s overall theme going and not just “plop” a photo onto a page. In both my paper scrapping and digital ventures, I have found that the best thing to do to enhance these photos is to keep it simple and to let nature do the talking. In this digital layout using Photoshop CS2, I decided to go with one large sunset photo and not bother with too many embel-

lishments. First, I started with the background paper (Grungy Slurp) and added the photo about 1/3 of the way from the bottom of the page. With the docks backlit in the foreground, it makes a dramatic photograph, with the visual “weight” mostly on the left hand side. To balance that and create a more visually pleasing page with a “visual triangle” of “heavy” elements, I added all of the embellishments and title on the right

The steering committee of the Westfield Farmers’ Market has recently adopted a new name and a new logo and a quick response code for the group. Launched in 2007 in a joint effort by the Village and Town of Westfield and the Westfield Chamber of Commerce as an economic development project, the market quickly took root and has grown each year to become a significant summer attraction for locals and tourists. The name Westfield Farmers’ and Artisans’ Market was chosen to more accurately describe the enterprise in which artisan vendors outnumber farmers. The new

full-color logo was designed by Kathleen Mayer, who is also an artisan vendor at the market. Kathleen has worked in graphic design and printing for more than twenty years and currently operates Gale Street Studio in Westfield. Designed to pair well with the Westfield logo, Mayer chose to use a barn, a fruit tree, a cluster of Concord grapes and an artist’s palette and brush to represent the market. A quick response code or QR code has also been registered for the market. This digital code, when captured by a smart phone camera, directs the user’s browser to the website. This code will appear on all WFAM promotional materials, allowing those interested and properly equipped to instantly visit the

market website. Writer Linda Lavid, an artisan vendor at the market, arranged this and she has used her computer skills to create multiple, free links between the WFAM and the internet. The Westfield Farmers’ and Artisans’ Market operates each Saturday from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m., from Memorial Day through September in Moore Park, at the intersection of Portage Street (Rt. 394) and Main Street (Rt. 20) in Westfield. Farmers and artisans interested in applying for 2012 season can download an application from the market website at westfieldny.com/farmersmarket/, or inquire by email to farmersmarket@westfield. com, or mail to P.O. Box 125, Westfield, NY, 14787.

Chautauqua County Saves Residents More than $2 Million with the ProAct Prescription Discount Cards Oﬃce of the County Executive

In slightly over two years, Chautauqua County residents have collectively saved more than $2 million while using the ProAct Prescription Discount Card Program. The discount card program was exclusively endorsed by Chautauqua County Executive Gregory J. Edwards in December of 2009. Since the program was implemented, residents have filled more than 70,000 prescriptions saving an average of 47%, or $29.26 on each prescription they fill. Chautauqua County and ProAct worked together in an effort to help the uninsured and underinsured residents obtain financial relief at the pharmacy when filling their prescriptions. When residents utilize the discount card, they can expect to see savings ranging from 10-20% on brand name prescriptions and 20-70% on generic prescriptions. The discount card program also offers residents

of Chautauqua County the opportunity to save on vision, hearing, and LASIK services as well as access to a low cost dental coverage plan. Chautauqua County is amongst the 49 counties across New York State who exclusively endorse the Prescription Discount Card Program. Combined, these counties have saved residents across the state more than $79 million while filling more than 2.6 million prescriptions. The discount card program is currently saving residents an average of 48%, or just over $29.00. “For residents who lack full prescription coverage or for those who have no coverage at all, a trip to the pharmacy can be very costly” said County Executive Greg Edwards. “By taking advantage of this cost free program residents can see sizeable savings on each of the prescriptions that they fill.” The discount card program is a cost free, hassle free way for residents to experience financial relief at the pharmacy counter. There are no

prerequisites to utilize the discount card; anyone in the county is eligible to use the program and receive savings.

With the 1st annual Chautauqua Lake Bigfoot Expo almost a month away, controversy is circling the wagons…. Melissa Hovey, one of the speakers coming to The Chautauqua Lake Bigfoot Expo and the Number One female Bigfoot Researcher in the Country has had to defend herself against a copyright infringement of a Photograph she owns and has copyright to of a Bigfoot picture she will show publicly at “The Chautauqua Lake Bigfoot Expo” on May 6, 2012. Melissa Hovey will discuss at the Expo the emotional turmoil a witness to a Bigfoot sighting can go through, and the toll, this type of experience can and does have on the personal and professional lives of people who are simply talking about being witness to something they can’t explain. Are all these people lying? What do they stand to gain? The answers may surprise you. This turmoil and fear of has touched upon a number of

eyewitnesses that have come forward to Peter Wiemer, Chautauqua Lake Bigfoot Expo chairman, in telling and e-mailing him about their personal eyewitness sightings here in western New York State. “They are remaining anonymous, because of their genuine fear of being ridiculed and the fear of being outcast by their peers and professions,” said Peter Wiemer in today’s press release. The Chautauqua Lake Bigfoot Expeditions, which we have been having in March and now April, have sparked controversy because of a recent Bigfoot Expedition where a person was charging hundreds of dollars to take 31 people on a Bigfoot expedition in Steel Creek National Forest in Arkansas, which was also being called a Bigfoot Hunt. “We certainly are not charging people to join in our Bigfoot Expeditions nor are we hunting Bigfoots,” said Peter. We have conducted four expeditions to date in PA and WNY during the month of March in seeking evidence of possible Bigfoots with a possible Bigfoot footprint being found.”

Bigfoot research and watching of is an entertaining venue proven by the popularity of The Animal Planet’s number one rated show, Finding Bigfoot, which drew 1.6 million viewers on their 2nd season premier on January 1st, 2012 and is expected to draw a capacity crowd at the Chautauqua Lake Bigfoot Expo as well as on the streaming video feed of the Expo and events.

Sorority will raise money for “tots” through annual tug-of-war contest April 24 Contributed Article SUNY Fredonia

The Sigma Kappa Sorority invites students, faculty and community members to participate in a tug-of-war contest Tuesday, April 24. Proceeds from this event will be donated to The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, which assists the U.S. Marine Corps in teaching less fortunate children about responsibility, patriotism and productivity. Each year from its Jamestown

office, this organization raises funds to supply children with one toy through local Toys for Tots campaigns.

The sorority was able to raise $300 in 2010 and is hoping to break that level this year. The mission of the sorority is to provide women with opportunities to impact communities in a positive way. Students wishing to take part

in the contest can sign up in teams of five and compete for a certificate to a local restaurant. The cost to enter is $10 per team. There will be male and female brackets. Sign-ups will take place in McEwen Hall from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on April 17-18.

The tradition of outdoor basketball will return for the 16th straight year when The Resource Center presents the Street JAM three-on-three tournament the weekend of June 2-3 on the streets of downtown Jamestown. Registration for the event has begun, and teams can enjoy a discounted registration fee of $100 if they register by April 15. After that date, the registration fee increases to $120. Street JAM will take place on West Third Street, between Main and Monroe streets. That section of the city has been the site of the three-onthree tournament on the first weekend in June the past five years. The annual three-on-three basketball tournament has become a staple in the Jamestown area since the first tournament was held in 1997.

We are proven to be the premier sporting event in the Southern Tier, and we are very proud of that.

This will be the tournament’s second year operating under the name Street JAM. Last year’s new name brought with it some enhancements to the event, including state-of-theart basketball hoops and newlook trophies. These changes were warmly embraced by basketball players and fans. “I couldn’t be more excited about our second year as Street JAM, and we look forward to many more years of three-on-three hoops the first weekend in June,” said Mark Olson, Street JAM co-chair, who has been involved with the tournament since its first year.

Money raised from Street JAM will assist people with disabilities and their families in Chautauqua County. Businesses interested in sponsoring Street JAM, as well as area residents wishing to serve as volunteers, should contact Ms. Bardo at 6611477.

Q&A Know an emergency to save pet, money Q: We’ve made a couple of ER runs with our dog for things that could have waited until morning. I sincerely believe I’d rather be wrong than sorry, and would always go if in doubt, but are there any guidelines you can offer? — F.T., via Facebook A: You should always call if you’re not sure, but some situations do require urgent attention. Here are some signs that should have you heading for your veterinarian’s or the emergency clinic: • Seizure, fainting or collapse. • Eye injury, no matter how mild. • Vomiting or diarrhea — anything more than two or three times within an hour or so. • Allergic reactions, such as swelling around the face or hives, which are most easily seen on the belly. • Any suspected poisoning, including antifreeze, rodent or snail bait, or human medication. Cats are especially sensitive to insecticides (such as flea-control medication for dogs) or any petroleum-based product. • Snake or venomous spider bites. • Thermal stress — from being either too cold or too hot — even if the pet seems to have recovered. (The internal story could be quite different.) • Any wound or laceration that’s open and bleeding, or any animal bite. • Trauma, such as being hit by a car, even if the pet seems fine. (Again, the situation could be quite different on the inside.) • Any respiratory problem: chronic coughing, trouble breathing or near drowning. • Straining to urinate or defecate. It’s essential to know where to go before you need after-hours veterinary care for your pet. Talk to your veterinarian now about after-hours arrangements. Some veterinarians remain on call while others refer to emergency-care clinics. If your veterinarian refers you elsewhere, be sure you have the phone number of the ER clinic handy, and know how to get there. — Dr. Marty Becker

CLAWS FOR A CHANGE Declawing not necessary to resolve problem scratching By Gina Spadafori, Universal Uclick

furniture. If the furniture fabric is too delicate, put the double-sided material on a piece of cardboard that wraps around the corner of the furniture. Cats hate to touch sticky surfaces, so anything mounted sticky-side out will discourage scratching. Start with your scratching alternative near the problem area. Your cat may shift his attention away from your furniture to the scratching post or tree. Praise and treat for good behavior! Once your cat understands what the scratching post is for, you can slowly move it to the part of the room where you’d like it. Leave the sticky deterrent on the furniture during the retraining, and be patient. Declawing shouldn’t be the first strategy for solving a scratching problem. Give your cat a chance to learn and to follow the rules. I bet you’ll be surprised at how well it works out.

have to be honest: I don’t like the idea of declawing cats. I understand why people choose to have it done, and I understand that in some cases it’s a cat’s only hope for staying in a good home. But I have never considered declawing for my own cat, and I cannot see it as anything but a last-chance effort after all other options have been tried. It’s not just about the surgery, although the cutting off of toes at the last joint is cringe-inducing, at least to me. After all, we long ago decided it’s a good idea to cut open pets for the greater good of population control by spaying and neutering — a good decision, but not a pain-free one for any individual animal. If you absolutely, positively have no tolerance for scratching, please adopt a cat who has already been declawed rather than take home a kitten and have him declawed. If you already have a cat who’s driving you crazy by clawing your couch, try the “carrot-and-stick” approach to change the behavior to one you can live with. The “carrot”: Offer your cat alternative places to scratch. The “stick”: Make your furniture unattractive to a clawing cat. The best investment you can make for your pet’s enjoyment — and your furniture’s preservation — is a cat tree with a high perch for your pet to look down on the family. (Cats like being above it all!) Sisal, a natural ropelike fiber, is a good covering for cat trees, as is carpet with loops that aren’t too shaggy. If you’re even a little bit handy, you can make your own cat tree by using scrap lumber, sisal or carpet remnants. You can make a cat tree even more appealing by playing games with your cat on it, and by petting and praising him Do you have a pet question? Send for scratching there. Some cats may it to petconnection@gmail.com. enjoy having fresh catnip rubbed onto the cat tree as an added enticement. Cat trees aren’t the only options.

No. 1 dog? It’s the Lab … maybe

The dog known as the “pit bull” is likely to be the most common type of dog in the country. • Labrador retrievers again were No. 1 on the American Kennel Club’s list of most-popular breeds. But with AKC registrations in sharp decline and the majority of dogs never recorded by the organization, it’s more likely that another breed is America’s true No. 1. Beloved by many, feared by an equal number and as misunderstood as any dog ever, the breeds generically grouped under the name “pit bull” are thought by many to be the most common dog in the country. Except, of course, in cities where owning one is illegal. • Among the many things we have in common with dogs, add one more: When they’re tired, dogs make bad decisions, too. That’s the indication from studies in France, where dogs were asked to focus on a sit-stay for 10 minutes, then put to problem-solving tasks. People are more likely to behave impulsively when exhausted, researchers said, citing tendencies to fight. Dogs were the same, showing an inclination when tired to approach an aggressive dog in a cage. Dogs who waited more casually without the work of holding a stay were less tired, and more likely to make better decisions. One takeaway for dog owners, said researchers, is that dogs who are exhausted from a day with the kids may be more likely to snap than a pet whose owners recognize the animal’s need for a break. — Gina Spadafori

Even with three starters on vacation, the Fredonia baseball team continued to roll during their spring break with a convincing 5-2 win at Hamburg on a chilly Tuesday afternoon. But, then again perhaps all the Hillbillies needed was starting pitcher Trent Thompson. Thompson was absolutely brilliant, tossing a complete game, three-hitter that saw him retire 13 batters in a row midway through the game until allowing a couple of base hits with two outs in the bottom half of the seventh. “(Trent) had 61 pitches going into the seventh against a good Hamburg squad who won sectionals last year,” head coach Vincent Gullo said. “He only gave up a couple hits there until the end. He’s a gamer. He’s an ace. That’s what you want out of your ace, throwing strikes and the defense made the plays on the easy balls.” But it was Fredonia’s offense in the top half of the first inning that got the day going as leadoff man Nick Hart drove one into the left-center gap for a double. Weston Ley followed with an infield single giving the Hillbillies two on for their heart of the order. After Hamburg senior Samuel Hogan struck out Connor Farnham, Thompson came through with bat by ripping a single to give Fredonia a 1-0 lead. Then Jude Gardner hit a deep fly that got caught up in the brutal wind and fell for a base hit and scored Ley to go up 2-0. But back came Hamburg. Thompson had to shake off a tough start that saw Eric Simoncelli lead off the game with a shot to centerfield that played some tricks on Gardner, a cruel payback of sorts. Gardner was unable to come up with it as the wind sent him chasing further and further into the right field gap before glancing off his glove, sending Simoncelli all the way to third. “(The wind) takes a lot of fun of the game,” Gullo said. “It’s hard to play

defense in this weather. It’s really unfortunate that half of our games are in this type of weather, but it’s the mentally tough teams that win.” Tyler Shaw followed with an infield bleeder in between the hole on the left side that scored Hamburg’s first run, but Thompson settled down from there. He went right through the meat of the Bulldogs order retiring three in a row on easy ground balls, a foreshadowing for the rest of his day. A sharp single from first baseman Christian Saden led off the second for Fredonia. Saden then stole second base before Adam Gawronski sacrificed him over to third. A wild pitch brought Saden home, giving Fredonia a third run, which would be all the Hillbillies needed. That’s because Thompson was on his game. An infield single was quickly erased when catcher Brett Lutz gunned him out at second on an attempted steal. Then Thompson struck out a batter before ending the inning on a slow comebacker that he

easily took care of. Again in the third, the leadoff man reached when Thompson plunked him with the first pitch, but Lutz nabbed the runner at second again. Thompson followed with an easy grounder and a strikeout. Sensing a theme? Thompson was clearly in the zone from there on out. Back-to-back grounders to the shortstop Ley started the bottom half of the fourth. A harmless fly to left was snagged by Hart to end it. Thompson was throwing strikes and not allowing any batter to get strong contact. “We only had one error, it’s a whole different game from Springville yesterday,” Gullo said. “The boys were more excited and more mentally prepared today and that’s what baseball is. Weston (Ley) at shortstop, he was flawless over there. Adam (Gawronski) at third, and (Christian) Saden and Matt (Coyle), you know what, they all did their job. You have to get everybody out and they did a nice job of it.”

Back was Thompson in the fifth, but this time he didn’t need much defense. He struck out the first two batters on seven pitches before getting another harmless groundball to Ley. In the sixth, he forced a shallow pop-up before striking out the last two batters, extending his streak to 11 consecutive hitters retired. Looking for some insurance, Ley got things going in the top half of the seventh with a rocket ripped into left-center that went for a stand-up double. Farnham followed with an RBI single up the middle that stretched Fredonia’s lead to 5-1. “We faced a stud pitcher today. He was their ace last year and got them far,” Gullo said. “But we had contributions from everybody, five different guys scored a run, we had great baserunning with four or five steals. We came to play.” Thompson finished off the complete game by getting out of the only jam he faced since the first. With runners on second and third and just one out, he got a harmless grounder to second that scored a run and finished the game with his eighth strikeout of the game. Thompson also went 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI. Ley also was 2-for-3 with a walk and came around to score twice. Hart, Farnham, Gardner and Saden had the other four hits for Fredonia, who finished with eight total. Thompson allowed just the three hits, walked one and hit a batter. Fredonia is back on the diamond Thursday to play these same Hamburg Bulldogs, but at home this time. They’ll play Lake Shore Saturday afternoon on the road before hitting the bulk of their league schedule next week. “Without those three starters, any win is nice,” Gullo said. “3-0 at this time really doesn’t mean anything. The league will come around and the league is so tough. We’re getting a lot of at-bats and facing some quality pitching and we can only get better from here.”

Crowley Signs Long-Term Extension With St. Bonaventure Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — Coming off the most successful season in St. Bonaventure women's basketball history, Athletic Director Steve Watson announced on Monday that head coach Jim Crowley has signed a long-term extension to remain at St. Bonaventure. Specifics of the deal will not be disclosed, but the latest extension secures Crowley through the end of the 2018-19 season. Last June, Crowley signed an extension through the end of the 2016-17 campaign. Crowley guided the Bonnies to the program's first NCAA Tournament berth this past year, advancing to the Sweet Sixteen before losing to eventual national runner-up Notre Dame. "We are pleased to have Jim remain at St. Bonaventure," Watson said. "This extension represents our commitment to him and likewise him to

us. Jim has built a program which represents our University well on the court, on campus, in the classroom and in the community. We anticipate continued success under his guidance and leadership."

A Binghamton-area native, Crowley was named ESPN.com's National Coach of the Year and Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year in pacing Bona to a first-place A-10 finish after being predicted to close the year in sixth place in preseason voting.

"I'm honored the University has made this commitment to our program, staff and to me," Crowley said. "We are all very excited about the future of our program, and this certainly adds to our enthusiasm. The campus and local communities are very special places and I'm thankful that I will be able to continue coaching here." The Bonnies closed this past season with a 31-4 record, winning the A-10 regular-season title with a perfect 14-0 mark. With an enrollment of just 2,000, Bonaventure became the second-smallest school to reach the Sweet Sixteen (Cheyney State, 1980s), and among active Division I members it is the smallest ever to reach that round. Over the last four years, Crowley has led SBU to a 98-37 record, including four postseason trips. Crowley and his staff lose four seniors off this year's team, but a quintet of high school seniors have already committed to join the program beginning in the 2012-13 season.

After a gracious offer once again from another School in our community, we proudly were receptive to hosting a selfdefense/bully-proof seminar at the Brocton School's in February 2012. Our seminar involved conversation, which relate to bullying in the beginning. Being a bully myself back in high school, I can relate to the negative effects that come out of being that person. I spoke of how to think about today and to try real hard to be responsible for all your actions daily. Lifelong consequences will forever disturb those of us who bully from emotions and physical strain of regret. Bullying will make you feel strong and powerful in the beginning, but in the end, a bully is a person overpowered, dealing with the wrath of his or her past. I explained how my life was filled with obstacles, struggles, drugs and crime due to the effect of my past poor decisions. As I grew older and wiser, I had to carry the burden of sorrow and regret. Even when walking down the street seeing old classmates, I would hang my head in shame. Now that I am 47 years old, with a family of five children and two grandchildren, it is very clear of my regrets. Attending class reunions and seeing those who I hurt was also a huge struggle. I have taken all my past choices as a learning lesson and have my “bucket list” to repair or attempt to repair all my past poor choices by contacting those I offended personally. I have been rejected by a few who cannot forget or forgive and that is

my burden in my heart forever. The future holds many decisions from our past and I encouraged all the students to heed my comments and look proud and confident for today so that tomorrow will be brighter. In the end of our seminar we — Albert Ramirez and myself — hosted some techniques and drills of Martial Arts and self-defense that energized the crowd. I want to say that every person in the room was 100 percent focused and attentive to my words, and had several questions. I realize my message is not about me but for the benefit for the younger generation to benefit. I see it does work. After the seminar we were asked by Mr. Jason Delcamp, School Principal, and the Superintendent of the school to host a weekly class for karate and self-defense. Following, I received several calls and e-mails from their community requesting our services. Currently we have approximately 40 students interested in registering. It’s an amazing opportunity for a person to be able to share their life in a manner of positive outcomes. Attached are comments, which are quotes from the individuals. Please keep in mind that “No Child Will Be Turned Away.” We, the schools and myself, have committed that this program will work independently to assist in the fitness and goal obtaining for all who are interested. The families that have financial concerns are encouraged to please contact me so we may ease your mind and make this program possible. Since all of the grants in the Government have been cut or lowered, I feel it my job to offer something similar to the

struggling families in these economically challenged times. Principal Jason Delcamp: The opportunity to have Matteson-Kempo Karate at Brocton Central School is very exciting. At a time of school budget cuts to meet the 2% tax cap coupled with a decrease in State Aid to the district, Brocton has had to reduce afterschool activities especially at the middle school level. This opportunity will allow BCS students to learn respect, loyalty, self-discipline, and self-pride while practicing and performing selfdefense skills. We are excited to have the Matteson-Kempo Staff here at Brocton and look forward to future possibilities for our students. Physical Education Coach Terry Presto: I think this class will greatly benefit the kids not only because of the self-defense aspect, but also the physical aspect of the class. It helps build strength, coordination, and endurance. The classes will give them the opportunity to get into shape now and possibly as a life long activity.

Martial arts not only builds confidence in oneself, but also is a great vehicle to develop self discipline. Physical Education and Health Educator Maria Sigeti: This program will be a great opportunity for those students who are not involved in interscholastic athletics, to take part in physical activity after school. Here all students will be taught the basic fundamentals of karate/self-defense while encouraging them to set and achieve lifetime fitness goals. Trainer and assistant: Albert Ramirez: Having a very positive response in the self-defense program currently taught at Pine Valley Schools, I was approached a few weeks ago by Sensei Matteson to ask if I'd like to go to Brocton High School to help him talk about bullying and do a self-defense demo. Needless to say, I said yes, and found myself just a couple of days later half-hypnotized listening to my friend Bill talk open-heartedly to a lot of different students about life and career choices with sincerity. It takes a lot of courage to

make a come back like the one Sensei Matteson has. I can't think of anyone that’s had it much harder in his life than he has and yet, in spite of it all, here he is today successfully running his own Martial Arts studio. Now that may not sound like much to you but if you only knew half of what he's been through, you'd change your minds and understand why he's truly making a difference in so many peoples lives. Anyhow, I prepared myself for the usual seminar/exhibition type of thing we Martial Artists normally do. I was pretty confident there would be a small speech about the necessity of avoiding confrontation. I really thought I was ready but I had no clue what I was in for. Neither did the kids that came in. Just like everyone else, I thought there was going to be a small talk and a lot of action as, putting a "show" together is a path we've been down before many times. Instead Mr. Matteson greeted everyone and, before I knew it, we were all dragged into his words. There were no more giggling or smart remarks. Just a bunch of teenagers and a few adults like myself listening to someone who was openly pouring his heart. He talked about his past, in which he himself was the bully. A past in which he started experimenting with drugs. A past that made him hit rock bottom and nearly destroyed him as a human being. Now, to have someone come and tell you what you should or should not do (especially as a teenager who thinks knows it all) is one thing, but to hear somebody say; "hey, I was just like you. I was a bully myself. I went down that path and let

me tell you were it took me and what it did to me". Well, that... ...that's something else. He told us with all sorts of details the kind of life that that led him to. He spoke about how he thought he had it all figured out. He even showed the scars. He proved to everyone how low he fell. But what's most important; he told everyone how he made a comeback and how everyone can change into a better person. All that I can say is that it takes a big man to open up like that and say those things that most of us would have conveniently swept under the rug. Seeing many of those kids come into the lectures and go from attitudes like "yeah, let's see some kicking action" to "I can't believe you've been there and back" had a profound impact on me and — I believe — an even bigger one on them. I thought I was ready for that self-defense demo but it turns out I wasn't. This wasn't a class about bullying and self-defense; this was a Masters degree seminar in life. He reached out and made a point to everyone. And for that I thank him. I'm proud to say that I'm honored to be his friend and can't wait to start showing the kids and teenagers at Brocton what a difference Martial Arts can do in their lives. Your free week trial class can start now.

Bona Baseball Splits Doubleheader With Little Three Rival Niagara Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — Following a perfect weekend in which she won all four of her matches, St. Bonaventure freshman Fatya Amiri has been named the Atlantic 10 Women's Tennis Performer of the Week by league oﬃcials on Monday. Amiri did not lose a single set in either singles or doubles last Thursday against La Salle, and closed the week a perfect 2-0 in singles and doubles action following a win in each against Saint Joseph's on Sunday. Against the Explorers, Amiri — playing at No. 2 singles — cruised to a 6-0, 6-0 win, but not before posting an 8-0 shutout at No. 2 doubles with partner Manuela Marin-Salcedo. The Bonnies claimed a 7-0 victory for their first A-10 win of the campaign. The California native then followed that up with a 6-3,

7-5 win out of the No. 2 position against St. Joe's on Sunday after posting an 8-6 victory at No. 2 doubles again with Marin-Salcedo. Unfortunately, her victories weren't quite enough as the Brown and White fell just short in its regular-season finale, 4-3, to the Hawks. Amiri has helped guide the Bonnies to a 10-8 record. Her and her teammates will next take to the court at the A-10 Championship next Thursday, April 19.

Chiesa Named SUNYAC Lacrosse Goalie Of The Week Contributed Article SUNYAC Oﬃce

Casey Chiesa helped lead Fredonia State to a pair of wins last week and remain unbeaten in the SUNYAC. In a 15-14 double-overtime win against Geneseo on Tuesday, Chiesa made 12 saves to mark the first win by the Blue Devils over the Blue Knights in program history. In a 13-11 win against Oneonta on Saturday she turned aside five shots.

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. — After dropping the opening game of a doubleheader against Niagara (11-17) on Tuesday afternoon at Sal Maglie Stadium, 5-2, the St. Bonaventure baseball team (13-12) bounced back with an 8-2 win in the second contest to split the pair of 7-inning games with its Little Three rival. With the second game tied a 2-2 in the top of the 7th, junior Austin Ingraham delivered an RBI single up the middle to break the deadlock, and a second run scored on the play following a fielding error by the Niagara center fielder. A little later in the inning with the bases loaded, senior catcher Michael Grieco delivered a bases-clearing triple to right and scored himself after an errant throw home by the NU right fielder. Ingraham finished the doubledip with four hits and pair of RBI, while Grieco had two hits and three RBI. Junior Jason Radwan pounded out a quartet of hits as well, including a 3-for-4 effort in the second game, while also scoring three runs. After going hitless in the first game, senior Ryan Skellie

went 2-for-4 in game two. Niagara opened the scoring in the first game with a run in the opening inning before the Bonnies got that tally back in the 2nd with a sacrifice fly to center off the bat of sophomore Justin Brozick. Bonaventure then took the lead the next inning, once again compliments of an Ingraham RBI single up the middle. The Purple Eagles pulled even in the bottom of the 5th off SBU starter Asa Johnson. Johnson (2-2) went six innings, scattering seven hits and allowing just one earned run (two overall). Senior Nick Brennen pitched the 7th inning and escaped a bases-

loaded jam with a game-ending double play. In the first game, the Bonnies struck first with a pair of runs in the top of the 3rd. After junior Michael Meredith had walked, Radwan sent his first triple of the season down the right-field line to score Meredith. A Billy Urban RBI double then followed to plate Radwan. Unfortunately for the Brown and White, that's all the scoring they would get the rest of the game. In the 4th inning, Niagara's eighth-place hitter, Thomas Rodrigues, sent Bona starter Cael Johnson's offering over the right-field wall for a three-run home run. The Purple Eagles then tacked on a run in each of the next two in-

nings for the final 5-2 margin. Johnson (1-4) suffered the loss after throwing five innings and allowing four earned runs, seven hits and one walk. Senior Jordan Crane pitched the 6th inning and allowed Niagara's fifth run of the game — an unearned tally — while striking out a pair and surrendering two hits. St. Bonaventure returns home to Fred Handler Park for a crucial Atlantic 10 Conference weekend series against Rhode Island. The three-game set against the league's secondplace team begins Friday afternoon at 3 with redshirt junior Eddie Gray on the hill for the Bonnies.

Playoffs Need Overhaul

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

Now, I’m not here to complain about the Buffalo Sabres or why they should be in the playoffs. Fact is, when you lose 43 of your 82 games (overtime losses included) you really don’t deserve to make the playoffs. Of course in hockey — and the NBA — more than half of the teams in the league make the playoffs anyhow. I just don’t understand how some sports can value the regular season so much (college football) while others, such as the NHL, barely acknowledge its mere existence. The Florida Panthers actually lost more games than the Sabres this year. Sure, they finished with five more points, but Florida only won 38 games this season. With the bizarre scoring system in the NHL, the Panthers, who lost an astonishing 18 games in overtime, still finished with the sixth most points in the Eastern Conference — more on that later. Of course, with an even more bizarre rule, the Panthers were awarded the No. 3 seed and given home ice advantage in the first round simply because the division they played in was so awful this season. Look, I’m all for awarding divisional champions with something. After all, what’s the point of having divisions if they aren’t rewarded? We could just go back to ancient baseball days or European club soccer and have all teams compete under one “division”. But what’s so bad about simply guaranteeing that team a playoff spot? If they’re the sixth best team in the conference, seed them sixth and down give them home ice. If they’re somehow the ninth best team in the conference — which is practically impossible — then bump that team into eighth and eliminate what would have been the eighth-seeded team. Besides, that team assuredly lost more game then they won anyhow. Plus, in that scenario, it gives the division winner some sort of chance so when they’re raising that banner the following season, fans aren’t wondering how they were left out of the playoffs. Well, the NBA has sort of begun to travel down that path. Instead of crowing the three divisional winners the top three seeds, they simply state that a divisional winner can be seeded no less than fourth, guaranteeing that team homecourt advantage. But even still, that notion falls well short of rational reasoning. Again, the team who doesn’t deserve to have the advantage of playing more games at home is the one doing so. If I had my way, all of our playoff formats would undergo widespread changes. That is, of course, except baseball, which decided to ruin a

perfectly good system by adding an extra wild card. They simply just need to rewind one full calendar year and stick with what worked. It’s the NHL and NBA, though, which irritate me the most. At least hockey’s eighth-seeded team can play with the topseeded teams, but why in the world do the league’s middleof-the-road teams belong to have the same odds at the Stanley Cup as the team who won the Presidents’ Trophy? And why in the world are the series’ seven games long? The NHL playoffs will start this week, but won’t even end until June. Hypothetically, a team could play 28 games, slightly more than one-third of the entire regular season. Regardless, without being able to award first-round byes in this sport, I suppose they’re sort of trapped without trimming down to four teams in each — which wouldn’t be so bad except for the all-important massive loss of revenue. Fair enough stick to eight; just don’t reward the Florida Panthers the No. 3 seed because they won the division. Because, well, the Panthers weren’t very good this year — they only had more wins than 10 other teams in the league. The Dallas Stars won four more games and finished with five fewer points. If you want to reward teams for overtime losses, fine. But, a 5-0 regulation win cannot be valued the same as two 2-1 losses in overtime. The NHL’s cheesy tie-breaking rule in case two teams are tied in points is pathetic. Sure, it makes sense — they take the team with more regulation plus overtime wins (ROW) — but the teams shouldn’t be tied anyhow. The NHL should take a page out of soccer’s rulebook — seriously, keep reading — and award three points for winning a game in regulation. Then, when a game goes into overtime, two points for the winner and one point for the loser. Besides in today’s game, how is it normal for some games (any overtime game) to yield three points while other games (any regulation game) yield only two? How much would it change? Well actually, in Florida’s case, nothing. Part of that is because Washington won so many (seven) games in overtime, where Florida won just one. Again, those would be valued at two points, instead of the full three. But, it would change some because the Pittsburgh Penguins would have ended up the top seed, bumping the Rangers down to fourth. Most importantly, though, I think it would result in fewer overtime games in general. Teams have no incentive to “go for it” in regulation because if you do get to overtime, at least you get a point. And an overtime win versus a regulation win are literally the same exact same thing in today’s game. How is that fair? Perhaps I’m just nitpicking, but this system just seems flawed. If we have eight teams making the playoffs, we might as well make it logical. Heck, if you just hate soccer so much, why not go with simple wins and losses? Regardless, securely strap yourself in. We have two more months of hockey.

Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame to Screen Field of Dreams

Contributed Article Chautauqua Sports HOF

Field of Dreams, a moving drama about the power of dreams and a fantasy ode to our national pastime, will be shown Wednesday, April 18, 7 p.m., at the Robert H. Jackson Center in Jamestown. The movie will be shown free of charge as a community service project of the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame. Field of Dreams is the fictional tale of Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) who hears a voice in his cornfield tell him, "If you build it, he will come." He interprets this mes-

sage 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. Tim Kindberg, who has visited the Field of Dreams filming site in Dyersville, Iowa, will share his remembrances of the trip and introduce the movie.

Crew shakeup on JRM teams

Newman, crew chief pay homage to memory of champ

hen Ryan Newman and his crew chief Tony Gibson were celebrating their victory at Martinsville Speedway on April 1, the date had special significance for Gibson and Newman and for legions of longtime NASCAR fans. It was on that date 19 years earlier that the reigning Cup champion Alan Kulwicki died in a plane crash as he was en route to Bristol Motor Speedway for that week’s race. Back then Gibson was Kulwicki’s car chief and a fabricator for the team, Newman was in high school and was inspired by Kulwicki to follow his example – first to an engineering degree and then to NASCAR’s elite circuit. Gibson said in the winner’s interview at Martinsville that the 19th anniversary of Kulwicki’s death was on his mind before the green flag ever flew. “I thought about that [Saturday] night actually, and it means a lot,” he said. “A lot of the reason I’m where I’m at is because of Alan. The fight to never give up, and always believe in yourself comes from him, too.” Kulwicki was a rare breed, both driver and sole owner of his race team. He was underfunded compared to the top teams in his era, but he overcame that with hard work and determination to win five Cup races in his relatively brief seven-year career and the 1992 championship. His old crew members eventually moved on to other teams, and like Gibson, became known for their work

ethic. Now Gibson is back working with another engineering graduate, and the similarities between Kulwicki and Newman don’t end there. “It’s just pretty cool to be with Ryan with the engineering background, and he’s just like Alan,” Gibson said. “He’s just like him. He’s wicked smart, and when you ever try to catch him on something, he’s got a little bit better answer for you. So I don’t try that anymore … “It’s pretty neat if you look back, same type of guy; a guy that all he wants to do is race; all he believes in is racing. Just goes to show you, you can be smart and you can drive, too.” Newman said Kulwicki’s legacy means a lot to him too. “He was an inspiration for me,” Newman said. “He was part of the reason why I chose to be an engineer and follow through with my racing career at the same time. “Just like Tony said, he’s inspirational to a lot of people in the garage; that never-give-up attitude; the underdog kind of mentality that he had. It’s no matter what, we’ll do our best and that’s all we can do.” Kulwicki’s championship year of 1992 wound up being one of the great turning points in NASCAR history. Besides being the last time that a driver/sole team owner won a title, it marked a major changing of the guard in the Cup series. In the ’92 season finale, Richard Petty ran his final Cup race, and

Alan Kulwicki after winning the 1992 Cup championship. (NASCAR photo) Jeff Gordon ran his first. The championship that year saw six drivers still in the running up until the season finale at Atlanta. Davey Allison, Bill Elliott and Kulwicki had the best chances, but Harry Gant, Kyle Petty and Mark Martin also had mathematical chances. Allison, the wildly popular young member of the famed Alabama Gang, crashed out early in the finale at Atlanta, and never got another shot at a championship. He died in a helicopter crash the next year. Elliott never came as close to winning a championship again, and Junior Johnson, the car

owner who led him to the runnerup position in ’92, saw his long run as a dominant force in NASCAR essentially come to an end. Gant, who scored two wins in ’92, running his career total to 18, never won again or contended for another title, and retired from the Cup series at the end of 1994. Kyle Petty, who finished fifth in the ’92, standings, won one race and finished fifth in points the next season, but was never higher than 15th after that. Of the six in contention for the title in 1992, only Mark Martin remained a factor on down the road. He’s won 33 races since 1993, and finished in the top five in the points standings 11 times. The late NASCAR writer David Poole, in his book about the 1992 season, summed up the lingering effects of that year, and the tragedies that followed, by saying: “If any lesson is to be learned from the events of the 1992 season and the months that followed the climactic race at Atlanta, perhaps it is that life is not lived in a straight line. It comes, instead, in a series of circles that change constantly as they ripple across the circles made by the lives of those around us.” Perhaps that was Poole’s way of explaining how after 19 years, Tony Gibson, who had stints at Hendrick Motorsports and Dale Earnhardt Inc., is back in victory lane with another engineer-driver, Ryan Newman, and working for a team co-owned by driver Tony Stewart.

JR Motorsports, looking for an improvement in the performance of its Nationwide Series teams, has swapped the crew chiefs for its No. 88 and No. 5 teams. Crew chief Bruce Cook will move to the No. 88 Chevrolets driven by Cole Whitt, while Tony Eury Sr., the team’s competition director and a veteran crew chief, will take over the No. 5 in addition to his regular duties. Tony Eury Jr.’s role as crew chief for Danica Patrick’s No. 7 car will remain as is. “Our teams have a tremendous responsibility, not only to perform at the standards we set for ourselves but reflect the commitment to excellence of our sponsors,” team co-owner Kelley Earnhardt Miller said in a team release. “Our on-track performance isn’t meeting those standards, and we felt a change was necessary.” The No. 5 car will race at Texas Motor Speedway this week with team co-owner Dale Earnhardt Jr. driving. He and Eury Sr., his uncle, won 15 Sprint Cup races between 2000 and 2004. Cook takes over the No. 88 team that has one top-five and two top-10 finishes this season and is sixth in the standings with the rookie Whitt doing the driving. “Bruce’s demeanor is probably more suitable in the developmental process of young drivers, and Tony Sr. has the experience and familiarity with Dale Jr. that can help get our 5 car to Victory Lane,” Earnhardt Miller said.

Controversial Chevy retired Team owner Rick Hendrick recently told reporters from ESPN that the No. 48 Chevrolet that failed inspection at Daytona International Speedway, and led to a long battle with NASCAR officials over the ruling about the car’s C post, won’t be returning to the race track. Johnson crashed the car during the race, and rather than repair it and risk another run-in with NASCAR, Hendrick gave the car to his driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., who plans to add it to the collection of crashed cars that he keeps on his North Carolina property.

Repairs complete at Daytona The operations team at Daytona International Speedway put the finishing touches on Turn 3 last week, painting the yellow lines on the repaved area affected by the jet dryer incident during the 2012 Daytona 500.

After Easter: Some drivers on roll, others must hop to it

SPRINT CUP POINTS

As the NASCAR circuit cranks up again following the Easter break, there are several drivers who need to step up their performance to reach the levels expected of them, and others who are off to surprisingly strong starts. Carl Edwards, for instance, is showing signs of continuing the trend in which the runner-up in Sprint Cup points one year is basically a flop the next. After six races, Edwards has yet to show the speed that kept him in the title hunt last year all the way to the final lap at Homestead, where he wound up tied in points with Tony Stewart but lost the tie-breaker, as Stewart had five wins to his one. Edwards is 11th in the standings heading to Texas Motor Speedway, 47 points behind his teammate and points leader Greg Biffle. So far, Edwards has not led a lap all year. In his career, Kyle Busch has scored 104 victories in NASCAR’s top three series, but none since he was parked for the rest of the weekend at Texas Motor Speedway last fall after wrecking truck series championship contender Ron Hornaday Jr. Since that weekend, he has just one top-five finish in Cup, a runner-up run at Auto Club Speedway. On the Nationwide Series side, he’s running his own team, but the results have been lackluster. He has an average finish of 17.4 and a best finish of eighth at Auto Club. Jeff Gordon, who has had fast cars at most races this year, has just one top-10 finish to show for his efforts, and he’s 21st in the standings. He appeared headed for a win at Martinsville only to be taken out in a crash with Clint Bowyer on the first of two attempts at a green-whitecheckered-flag finish. A.J. Allmendinger got one of the premier rides in NASCAR when he was picked to replace Kurt Busch in the No. 22 Dodge at Penske Racing, but until a second-

He’s 20th in the standings with no other top10s besides Martinsville. Kasey Kahne perhaps is the biggest surprise of the season, but not in a way he’d like. After moving to the No. 5 team at Hendrick Motorsports with his crew chief Kenny Francis, he was expected to be an immediate Chase contender. But after six races, he’s mired in 31st place in the standings, 96 points out of 10th place after experiencing a mix of driver mistakes and mechanical failures. On the other hand, defending Cup champion Tony Stewart, who normally doesn’t hit his stride until midsummer, is off to an unusually fast start, with two wins already. And Dale Earnhardt Jr. is off to a strong start and sits second in the standing, just six points behind leader Greg Biffle.

Watson Claims Green Jacket In Playoff Win At Masters By Eddie Pells Associated Press

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Sometimes, winning a golf tournament or putting on a green jacket can change a guy’s life. Bubba Watson insists he’s not that guy. Maybe that explains his ability to pull off the impossible when the pressure was boiling over at the Masters on Sunday. Perched atop pine needles far right of the fairway with a better view of a TV tower than the green, the left-hander hooked his way out of trouble and into history. His 155-yard curveball landed on the green and beat South Africa’s Louis Oosthuizen on the second hole of a playoff and turned Oosthuizen’s double eagle earlier in the round into the second-best shot on a day filled with magic at Augusta National. While Oosthuizen failed to get up and down from in front of the green, Watson wrapped it up with a no-stress two-putt on the 10th green to clinch his first major, then sobbed hard on his mother’s shoulder. A bittersweet celebration. His father, Gerry, died 18 months ago after a long bout with cancer. But waiting at home for him is his wife, Angie, and their adopted newborn son, Caleb. “The thing is, golf is not my everything,” Watson said. “But for me to come out here and win, it’s awesome for a week and then we get back to real life. I haven’t changed a diaper yet, so I’m probably going to have to change a diaper soon.” Watson insists the shot that earned him the green jacket wasn’t as ridiculously hard as it looked. Mostly because of his attitude. He hasn’t taken formal lessons and insists he has never hit a ball perfectly straight. His motto, as he explained to caddie Ted Scott on the day they met six years ago: “If I have a swing, I have a shot.” So when he blocked the tee shot on No. 10 into the woods, behind the gallery, onto the pine straw, way back in jail, he felt no sense of panic.

“I get down there, saw it was a perfect draw,” Watson said. “Even though the tower was in my way, I didn’t want to ask if I could get relief or anything, because it just set up for a perfect draw — well, hook. That’s what we did. We just kept talking about you never know what’s going to happen out here. Anything can happen.” Can and pretty much did on this day. The excitement started with a pair of holesin-1 on No. 16 by Adam Scott and Bo Van Pelt, each of whom was playing for position, not the championship. The fireworks really started when the leaders got on the course. Standing on the fairway, 253 yards from the hole on the par-5 second, Oosthuizen hit a 4-iron that bounced on the front of the green, then rolled toward a cup that looked like it had a magnet in it. The ball dropped and the South African was the owner of the fourth doubleeagle 2 in Masters history and the first on the second hole — to say nothing of a two-shot lead that moments earlier had been a one-shot deficit.

Tebow Draws Big Crowd To Texas Easter Service By Jim Vertuno Associated Press

GEORGETOWN, Texas (AP) — Thousands of worshippers turned out for an outdoor Easter morning service featuring an appearance by New York Jets backup quarterback Tim Tebow at a central Texas church. Tebow was scheduled to speak Sunday at Celebration Church's ``Easter on the Hill'' service on a rolling grassy field about 20 miles north of Austin. The event had the feeling of a rock concert with hundreds of school buses shuttling crowds to the sprawling megachurch from nearby shopping malls. The church invited people to bring lawn chairs and blankets for the two-hour service under sunny skies. A devout Christian, Tebow has a flock of fervent fans due as much to his public faith as the former Heisman Trophy winner's football skills. The event drew those who wanted to see their favorite football player as well as deliver his personal message of faith on the holiday. Some couldn't wait for the official early opening to the grounds. Debbie Sandoval and her husband and two sons arrived before sunrise wearing Tebow's Jets jerseys and set up camp close the large soundstage with a row of chairs. Additional large video screens and loudspeakers were set up for those toward the back. “I love that boy ... He's like my third son,” said Sandoval, who is not a regular member of the church but wasn't going to miss a chance to hear Tebow speak. A self-described ``lifelong Broncos fan,'' Sandoval said she became a Jets fan because of Tebow. Tebow led the Broncos to the playoffs last

season, but was acquired by the Jets in a trade March 21. “Everything about this young man's extraordinary life is special,” Sandoval said. Amanda O'Hara drove about 100 miles from San Antonio on Saturday and got to the church about 4:30 a.m. “to be one of the first ones here.” “I only got about four hours sleep, I was so excited,” O'Hara said. “He doesn't hide who he is. Parents should see him as a role model.” The crowd included people dressed in Easter bunny costumes and dressed as Sesame Street character Elmo. About an hour before the service, Elmo dropped to a knee with a toddler boy to mimic Tebow's on-field prayer pose, which was been dubbed “Tebowing.” Media access to the event was tightly controlled inside the roped off field. Reporters were required to have an escort when walking through the crowd and photographers were not allowed inside during the service. Television cameras were allowed to record only a portion of Tebow's speech and no live video streaming of the service was permitted. Church officials initially expected up to 20,000 and said Tebow's appearance on Easter Sunday was coincidental. Church spokeswoman Tara Wall said it was Tebow who reached out to Pastor Joe Champion and Sunday was the best date available. Mike Benaglio, who sat on a blanket with his wife Debbie, welcomed the spectacle surrounding the Tebow phenomenon. “I'm a fan of any pro athlete who stands up for his faith,” Benaglio said. “We're thrilled to be part of this. It's not about football. Whatever gets more people over to the cross, I'm in favor of.”

He held that lead for most of the day, but realized as the round went on that there’s nowhere else to go after you’ve touched the sun. “When something like that happens early in your round, you think that this is it,” Oosthuizen said. “That was my first double eagle ever. So it was tough. It was tough the next five holes to just get my head around it and just play the course.” He played it solidly, if not spectacularly, and finished at 10-under 278. Watson, meanwhile, saved his charge for where they usually come at Augusta — the back nine on Sunday. He made a tricky 6-foot putt on No. 13 to start a string of four straight birdies. The fourth one put him in a tie for the lead and the leaders, in the same twosome, finished par-par to set up the first playoff at Augusta since Angel Cabrera of Argentina won in 2009. There was a four-way tie for third at 8 under — Britain’s Lee Westwood, Sweden’s Peter Hanson, Matt Kuchar and Phil Mickelson. Mickelson, going for his fourth green jacket,

looked like the favorite coming into the day but dug himself a hole on No. 4 — a 10-minute sitcom that could’ve been titled “Typical Phil.” There was the tee shot off a railing and into the trees, well left of the green; the two right-handed hacks from the woods, the first of which popped up and moved about a foot; the blown flop shot from a trampled down area where the fans had been standing; then, of course, an out-of-this-world up and down from the sand to save 6. “There was no place to go other than back to the tee,” Mickelson said, referring to his decision not to take an unplayable lie. “So I took the risk of trying to hit it a few times.” Westwood got in the mix, but it was a doublebogey 6 on Friday that more or less gave him too big a deficit to overcome. He shot 68, matching Watson for the best final round among the top six. But it’s a guy named Bubba who was celebrating his first major while Westwood still waits. And Oosthuizen remains stuck on one major — the 2010 British Open — and clearly in awe of what he witnessed at the end. “I had no idea where he was,” Oosthuizen said. “Where I stood from, when the ball came out, it looked like a curveball. Unbelievable shot. That shot he hit definitely won him the tournament.” Watson is the fifth left-hander to don a green jacket over the last 10 years and gives Americans back-to-back majors — Keegan Bradley won the PGA Championship — after they’d gone a record six straight without. This one will be celebrated back home in Florida, with little Caleb in his arms and his father in his thoughts. “He’d say, `You still need to practice. You missed that fairway. You were under the trees a couple of times. You missed the first putt,”’ Watson said with a smile. “No, he would be excited. Just like my mom was excited. We didn’t have any words. We just cried in each other’s arms.”

Lin Feels ‘Pretty Good’, But First Round Return Doubtful By Brian Mahoney Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — Knicks guard Jeremy Lin said Sunday he feels “pretty good” after knee surgery but doesn’t think he could make it back for the first round of the playoffs. “I think unless something goes really well, I wouldn’t get there,” Lin said before the Knicks played the Chicago Bulls. Lin had surgery Monday to repair torn cartilage in his left knee. The Knicks have said the expected recovery time is about six weeks. The playoffs begin April 28. The Knicks, also playing without the injured Amare Stoudemire, went into Sunday’s game holding the eighth and final spot in the Eastern Conference. Lin won’t rule out a return if the Knicks can advance in the postseason. “It depends on how far and how long it goes,” Lin said.

“But obviously I want to get to 100 percent and then come back, hopefully see what I can do. By then it’ll be a different team identity, chemistry, so it gets tricky, too. Yeah, I’m doing everything, we’re doing everything we can to get back as soon as possible.” The point guard said he is working out on a bike and hopes to start running late

next week. Lin became the Knicks’ starter in February after he hardly seeing playing time. The undrafted Harvard product had a heavy workload in a compressed season, which may have contributed to his injury. “I still may have gotten hurt. That’s hard to say,” Lin said. “I mean, I think obviously a

condensed schedule can be harder on people’s bodies. I don’t know if that was the exact cause. I don’t know if I would have still gotten hurt if it was a normal season. That’s kind of hard to guess.” Lin said doctors found no more damage during the surgery, which he called minor. But he also said there’s no indication he’s ahead of schedule, only that everything is normal so far. Lin said he’s already begun talking with trainers he works out with in the offseason about strengthening his legs, but hopes to play before then. He said the Knicks’ success without him has helped him cope with the injury that cut short his breakthrough season. “Emotionally, yeah, it helps,” he said. “What they did in Orlando (a victory Thursday) was awesome. I think that always helps, when things are going well and the vibe of the team is positive and energetic.”

Amid Scandal, Arkansas Fires Bobby Petrino By Kurt Voigt Associated Press

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas fired coach Bobby Petrino on Tuesday, saying he engaged in reckless behavior that included hiring his mistress and then intentionally misleading his bosses about everything from their relationship to her presence at the motorcycle accident that ultimately cost him his job. ''He made the decision to mislead the public, (and it) adversely affected the university and the football program,'' athletic director Jeff Long said at an evening news conference, choking up at one point as he discussed telling players the news. There was a ''pattern of misleading and manipulative behavior to deceive me.'' It was a stunning fall for Petrino, who had built Arkansas into a Southeastern Conference and national power over four seasons, including a 21-5

Bobby Petrino, here pictured at a press conference shortly after his motorcycle accident on April 1.

record the past two years. But Long made it clear that the success on the field was overshadowed by a laundry list of deceptive acts. The 51-year-old Petrino was injured in an April 1 motorcycle accident. He was put on paid leave last week after admitting he lied about the presence of the 25-year-old

employee, Jessica Dorrell, who had been riding with him. Long said his investigation, which took less than a week, found that Petrino had even given Dorrell $20,000 at one point, though he wouldn't disclose what it was for. He also said Petrino was fired ''with cause'' — meaning he will not receive a multimillion-dollar

buyout — and there were no discussions about ways to keep Petrino at Arkansas. Petrino finishes his tenure at Arkansas with a 34-17 record in four seasons, leading the Razorbacks to a No. 5 final ranking last season and a Cotton Bowl win over Kansas State. He did not immediately issue a statement. The accident left him with four broken ribs, a cracked vertebra in his neck and numerous abrasions on his face. The avid motorcycle rider said the sun and wind caused him to lose control on the windy two-lane highway, about 20 miles southeast of Fayetteville. What the married father of four failed to mention, both at a news conference and to Long, was the presence of a Dorrell, a former Arkansas volleyball player and Razorback Foundation fundraiser who Petrino had hired to a Continued on pg 9

Flyers Eliminate Sabres From Playoffs By Dan Gelston Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Buffalo center Tyler Ennis sat dejected, staring down at a half-full equipment bag. Slowly, he picked himself up, leaned forward and began to untape. Asked for his thoughts on the Sabres' elimination from postseason contention, Ennis stared straight ahead, tousled his sweat-soaked hair, and solemnly said: “Not right now.” Not now. Not in the postseason, either. With their faint playoff hopes riding at least on wins in their final two games, the Sabres failed to finish a longshot rally that brought them to the brink of the postseason. Matt Read and Marc-Andre Bourdon each scored third period goals to lead the Philadelphia Flyers to a 2-1 win Thursday night over Buffalo that eliminated the Sabres. “It's disappointing. It's embarrassing to miss the playoffs,” Sabres goalie Ryan Miller said. “We have a lot of talented players on this team and we just didn't get it going early enough this season.” The Sabres needed to beat the Flyers to stay alive heading into their final game of the season. The Sabres failed to handle the Flyers, and when the Capitals beat Florida 4-2, Buffalo was done. Buffalo tried to join the 1994 New York Islanders in becoming the NHL's second team to rally from a 10-point deficit in mid-February to make the playoffs.

Miller stopped 33 shots, yet he was beat by Read on a breakaway with 4:21 left in the game to end Buffalo's bid. The Sabres were suddenly back in the hunt after completing a frantic comeback by rallying from a pair of two-goal third period deficits in a 6-5 overtime win over Toronto on Tuesday. That pulled Buffalo even with Washington. The Sabres mounted a remarkable second-half surge in which they went 20-7-5 in last 32 games entering Thursday.

The 33rd game did them in. “We just didn't finish,” Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. “We had our chances, and we didn't get the kind of shots we needed. There were far too many chances by the wayside.” The Flyers secured the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference after Pittsburgh's 5-2 win over the New York Rangers. The Penguins will play the Philadelphia Flyers in the first round. “I feel confident about where we went in the month of March and how we played in April,”

Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said. The Flyers eliminated the Sabres in Game 7 of the opening-round playoff series last season. Buffalo grabbed a 1-0 lead in the second when Ville Leino played spoiler against his former team. Leino, part of Philadelphia's 2010 Eastern Conference championship team, scored his eighth goal with 2:34 left in the second period. He was in the crease to knock a rebound into an empty net after Ilya Bryzgalov strayed to block the previous shot. Bryzgalov had 25 saves. Leino was fifth on the Flyers last season in scoring with a career-best 53 points (19 goals, 34 assists). The Sabres signed him to a $27-million, six-year deal and he hasn't come close to matching that production. Bourdon tied the game early in the third with a slapper that spoiled Miller's shutout bid. Read took the puck at center ice and went all the way to beat Miller for the late winner, crushing playoff dreams in upstate New York. The Sabres were tentative early and took only three shots in the first period. “We did this to ourselves,” Miller said. It's sure to be a heated postseason series when the Flyers and Penguins open next week in Pittsburgh. Laviolette was fined $10,000 after calling out counterpart Dan Bylsma for sending out his checking line late in Philadelphia's 6-3 win at Pittsburgh on Sunday. Penguins assistant Tony Granato, who stepped on the top of the sideboards and in between the two head coaches, was also fined $2,500.

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — Massachusetts senior Sara Plourde powered UMass (19-11, 6-0 Atlantic 10) to a doubleheader sweep of St. Bonaventure (14-14, 4-4) on Sunday, tossing a perfect game and a one-hitter while helping her cause with a pair of threerun homers. The two-time reigning Atlantic 10 Pitcher of the Year, Plourde faced the minimum 15 batters and struck out 10 in a five-inning triumph to open play. It marked the 13th perfect game in UMass program history and was the second solo perfect outing of her career (she shares another). Plourde did it with the bat as well, knocking a three-run homer as part of a six-run second inning in the first game. She sparked the Minutewomen with another blast that plated three in the top of the first in game two of the set, while striking out 14 batters

from the circle and allowing no earned runs. Trailing 8-0 after the UMass half of the sixth, the Bonnies took advantage of two wild pitches, an error and a passed ball to plate their only two runs of the matchup. Saturday, the Bonnies led 6-1 after five innings but hung on for a 6-5 victory over Rhode Island (13-18, 2-4) after Diana Phalon worked a three-out save in the

seventh to preserve the win. After erasing the Rams' 1-0 lead with two runs of their own in the bottom of the second, the Bonnies plated single runs in the third — on a solo shot from Ashley Snider — and fourth frames. Brooke Frey's two-RBI double in the fifth capped the surge and yielded a 6-1 cushion through five innings of action. Frey picked up two hits and

drew a walk on the day, while Christine Watson was 2-for-2 with a walk, one run batted in and one run scored to lead SBU. Rhode Island tagged Bona starter Jen Sansano (9-5) with one run in the top half of the sixth and pushed three more across in the seventh to pull to within one. The Rams drew a leadoff walk to start the rally, and blasted a run-scoring double before Courtney Prendergrast's two-run homer over the left field wall all but erased the Bonnies' lead. Sansano was lifted with the bases empty and none out as Phalon, a nearby Smethport, Pa. native, was called in to shut the door. The senior saw her first batter reach on an infield miscue before settling in to inducing three straight infield ground balls for her second career save. SBU returns to action on Wednesday to host Youngstown St for a doubleheader. The first pitch is slated for 3 p.m.

Bills’ Spending Spree Pays Off In Season Ticket Sales

Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Joel Thompson gave up his Buffalo Bills season tickets two years ago. Now he’s back on the bandwagon. All it took to get Thompson to “Bill-lieve,” as fans put it in Buffalo, was a span of three days last month. That was the time it took prized free-agent defensive end Mario Williams to arrive in town to negotiate and sign a whopping six-year, $100 million contract. “When Mario came in for a visit, I got together with the guys, and said, `All right, if this happens, if he signs, we’ll go back,”’ Thompson recalled Friday. “And sure enough, that’s what happened.” The day Williams signed, Thompson sent an e-mail to his former Bills ticket representative to lock up six season tickets. And the purchase was completed a week later. “This looked legit,” said Thompson, who had previously held season tickets for eight seasons — from 2002-09 — in which the Bills failed to emake the playoffs. “Adding Mario, I thought, `Maybe this team can win sooner than later.”’ Thompson is not the only one buying in. The Bills’ offseason spending spree — they also signed free-agent defensive end Mark Anderson and re-signed top receiver Stevie Johnson — is already paying off. CEO Russ Brandon said the team has already

sold 4,320 new season-ticket packages, and added that renewal orders are coming in at the fastest pace in 15 years. Brandon credits the spike to the team’s offseason splashes and a growing optimism around town that the Bills just might be turning the corner after missing the playoffs for 13 consecutive seasons — the NFL’s longest active postseason drought. “With the additional signings, it certainly was a huge boost,” Brandon said, before also crediting the work of general manager Buddy Nix and coach Chan Gailey. “And one of the things

Bandits Announce ‘Fan Appreciation Night’ To Be Held April 21 Contributed Article Buﬀalo Bandits

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bandits announced plans to thank their fans for all their support in 2012 by hosting “Fan Appreciation Night” when the Bandits take on the Rochester Knighthawks in their final home game of the regular season at First Niagara Center on Saturday, April 21 at 7:30 p.m. Bandits fans have once again shown up in droves this season to support the team in their bid for a fifth championship. With an average attendance of 15,601 through six home games in 2012, Bandits games continue to hold the distinction of being the highest-attended indoor lacrosse event in the world. The Bandits are showing their appreciation during the home finale with several contests and giveaways. Upon entering First Niagara Center, all fans will receive Bandits-themed inflatable thundersticks to

help cheer on the team. Prior to the opening faceoff, a player award ceremony voted on by members of the team will take place, in addition to honoring the 2012 Bandits “Fan of the Year.” In order to be nominated for “Fan of the Year,” fans are asked to submit pictures of themselves at a Bandits game while dressed in their most festive team attire. Photo submissions may be made here until 9:59 a.m. on Wednesday, April 11. From April 11 to April 18, fans may visit Bandits.com to vote for the winner, who will receive a trophy, a “Fan of the Year” jersey, and a pair of Bandits season tickets for the 2013 season. The winner will be announced on Thursday, April 19. Several in-game promotions will also run throughout the night, including the “Rowards” program and a parachute drop containing prizes for concessions and merchandise. Contests involving fan partici-

that’s really resonated is that people feel the team is headed in the right direction under the guidance of Buddy and Chan. … People seem very pleased that the arrow’s pointed up.” Nix and Gailey are entering their third seasons on the job. The Bills are coming off a 6-10 finish in which they got off to a surprising 5-2 start before losing eight of nine. The surge in sales comes a year after the Bills sold 37,355 season tickets, the team’s lowest total since 2001 and about 7,000 fewer than the previous year. The Bills also failed to sell out their final three games last season.

Part of the blame for the drop fell on the NFL lockout, which wiped out much of the offseason, the prime time for teams to generate ticket sales. This offseason, the Bills have made it a priority to increase sales. Buffalo already has one of the NFL’s lowest average ticket prices at about $53. Aside from not raising ticket prices this season, the Bills also dropped prices in two separate sections—including a family section — of Ralph Wilson Stadium to spur sales. Brandon won’t make projections, but considers 50,000 season tickets as a realistic goal for the market. Sales and free-agent signings are one thing. For Brandon and the Bills, the next step is to prove they’re capable of winning on the field. “Yeah, we’re in a prove-it business,” Brandon said. “We continue to work as an organization in order to get back to where we need to be.” Thompson is upbeat about the Bills, though wary because he’s been disappointed before. The first time Thompson and his friends purchased season tickets was in the spring of 2002, days after Buffalo acquired quarterback Drew Bledsoe in a trade with New England. Bledsoe lasted three seasons with the Bills before being cut. “Obviously, we’re a bit prone to impulse, perhaps,” Thompson said. “But the thing for me is this team doesn’t seem like it’s far off from being good.”

showed he asked police if he was required to give the name of the passenger during the accident. Petrino was forthcoming about Dorrell's name and presence with police, but only after misleading both Long and the public during his news conference. That led to the school releasing a statement from Petrino's family the day after the accident that said ''no other individuals''

were involved. The proved not to be the case and the fracture in trust, along with questions about Dorrell's hiring by Petrino to be the school's student-athlete development coordinator, proved to be too much for Petrino to overcome in Long's eyes. Petrino took the school to its first BCS bowl game following the 2010 season, losing in the Sugar Bowl to Ohio State, and improved his win total in

every year. Arkansas was 5-7 his first season in 2008, 8-5 the second before finishing 10-3 and 11-2 during his last two seasons. The coach's tenure with the Razorbacks began under a cloud of national secondguessing following his departure from Atlanta 13 games into the 2007 season. His tenure with the Falcons was the shortest for a non-interim coach since the 1970 NFL-

AFL merger. His departure was so sudden that Petrino left farewell notes in the lockers of the Atlanta players rather than telling them of his resignation in person. He was introduced later that night as the new coach of the Razorbacks, carrying with him a vagabond image after holding 15 jobs for 11 different programs/organizations in 24 seasons.

PETRINO continued from pg 6 football-department position just days before the accident. That revelation was made public when the state police released the accident report. Petrino informed Long of Dorrell's presence 20 minutes before the police released the report to the public, also admitting to what he called a previous inappropriate relationship with Dorrell. Long placed Petrino on paid leave later that night, say-

ing he was disappointed in Petrino and promising to review the coach's conduct. He said his review found that the relationship between the two had lasted a ''significant'' amount of time.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article

Department of Environmental Conservation

Cattaraugus Creek is flowing at about 470 cubic feet per second and dropping slowly. The creek is in ideal fishing shape and should remain so through the weekend. Steelhead catches have been good this week, including some fresh fish. Cattaraugus Creek is your best bet as the spring run starts to wane, as the steelhead fishing in the creek can last well into May. The rest of the creeks are low and clear, with smaller numbers of steelhead hanging around. 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. Good numbers of smallmouth bass have moved into the lower stream sections. Fly anglers do well with woolly buggers and minnow imitation patterns. Casting and retrieving stickbaits and crankbaits that imitate baitfish also works well. Keep in mind that bass fishing is by catch and release only, artificial lures only, until May 4. Lake Erie and Harbors Boaters continue to see decent perch catches out of Buffalo and Cattaraugus Creek. Buffalo anglers, target perch in 50-55 feet of water near the international line. Out of Cattaraugus Creek, perch have been caught in 40-65 feet of water, however the better bite has been in 52-57 feet of water. Emerald shin-

ers fished near the bottom are the ticket. Sturgeon Point boat launch is currently closed for dredging. Perch anglers can launch from Buffalo Small Boat Harbor or the Town of Hanover and DEC launches at the mouth of Cattaraugus Creek. Chautauqua Lake The crappie bite has been fair for boaters in the south basin. Anglers catch mostly sub-legal males, with a handful of keepers per outing. In the north basin, crappie catches have also come from the sheltered bays and off Mayville. Minnows or a small jig (1/32 oz.) tipped with a minnow have worked well. Yellow perch are plentiful and can be taken in good numbers on minnows, when the crappie bite is "off ". Bullhead are available in the canals and from shore at night. 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 The area streams are in good shape with moderate to lower flows and water temps in upper 40s to

lower 50s. The streams are ahead of schedule for fly hatches, with bluewinged olives (BWO), hendricksons and small stoneflies hatching. Fly anglers see good surface action on BWO and hendrickson dries and subsurface catches on stonefly nymphs. Small streamers and buggers work also. 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. During the first couple weeks of April, inland trout streams receive the heaviest angler traffic they get all year. Please respect the land, water, fish and each other. Pack out what you bring in and help pick up garbage that the bad apples leave behind. Don't risk losing access to your favorite trout waters!

Fishing Season Continues To Heats Up By Steve Peacock Star Outdoors Writer

The perch fishing was great last Saturday. I counted around 40 boats all fishing for perch out of Sunset Bay. It seemed to me that everyone was catching fish. I have Ernie Frommer from Silver Creek to thank for taking me fishing on his boat. With three of us on his boat, we caught our limit in just three hours. Most of the fish we caught were large, but several “jumbo” perch were in there also. I consider any perch that is over a foot long to be a jumbo and we caught fish up to 15 inches long. I would say it was the best I’ve ever seen the perch bite. Perch were not the only fish biting last weekend. A lot of people are catching small mouth bass in the Cattaraugus Creek and in the Dunkirk Harbor. There are probably small mouths in some of the other local tributaries as well. I also noticed a bunch of fishermen at the Cattaraugus Creek fishing for catfish. I heard they have been catching a few cats but it hasn’t been as good as last year. Last year we had a lot more rain which kept the water muddy. Catfish love the muddy water probably because it gives them the advantage over the smaller fish that can’t see as good. I talked to a fisherman who believes that the extra good year for catfish was because

the Department of Environmental Conservation never put the green colored chemical in the creek last year. This chemical is supposed to kill the Lamprey eels that are not native to the Great Lakes but still run up the creeks to breed. I heard that last springs frequent rain is why they never added the chemicals. Years ago I cornered a couple of D.E.C. workers and asked them if the fish caught from the green water were safe to eat. They assured me that the steelhead were still OK to eat and told me the chemical only affects fish with skin instead of scales. Since then I have always thought that must be the reason we don’t catch bullheads in the Cattaraugus Creek

anymore. So, when it was suggested that the lack of this chemical positively affected the fishing, I tend to believe it. On Chautauqua Lake, the crappie have turned off. They did start catching some when the unusually warm weather had hit. I am told they’re expecting it to turn back on when the water warms back up some. Walleye season will open up again on May 1 for the entire state. On Chautauqua Lake, guys will start fishing for walleyes right away but on Lake Erie they are usually hard to catch until later in the year. I also know some people who were out this weekend fishing the inland streams for trout, but hadn’t heard from them before writing this article.

In 2003, a big controversy hit the golf world: the battle to allow female members at Augusta National. The protest was led by Martha Burk, head of the National Council of Women’s Organizations, with membership of about 6 million. I was on the case way back then and revealed for the first (and I thought, the last) time that Calamity Jane, the heroine of the Old West, was actually named Martha Burke before she became known as Calamity. Some thought that Augusta National’s chairman then, Hootie Johnson, and the rest of the boys were no match for 6 million women threatening to boycott tournament sponsors. Faced with all this clout, surely the only question was, “Who would be the first woman member?” But as of today, there is not one female member at Augusta National. Which brings us to the root of the current pickle: Virginia Rometty, the new CEO of IBM. Traditionally, the leader of IBM has been invited to join, but so far there’s been no word from the boys at Augusta, leaving some questions hanging in the air: 1. Will Calamity Jane ride again, leading protests at this year’s Masters? 2. Have the boys from Augusta finally met their match — tradition? How ironic: The thing that kept women out might end up being the only thing that gets them in. 3. Would Virginia Rometty accept a membership? How cool would that be if after the door was finally pried open, she slammed it back in their faces by saying no? GOLF BY THE NUMBERS

Tiger boosts TV ratings

Stan Badz/PGA TOUR

It’s no big shock that when Tiger Woods is front and center, the number of television viewers for a PGA event skyrockets. When he won last week at Bay Hill, the TV ratings increased by 129 percent over last year, when Martin Laird finished first. It was Tiger’s first victory in a “for-real” PGA event in 120 weeks, even though he almost caught Rory McIlroy with a scorching 62 at the Honda Classic, played on the Champion Course at PGA National — one of the hardest courses on tour. It looks like Tiger is back, just in time for the first major of 2012, so let’s hope he stays clear of heavy weights and running in combat boots, and just focuses on playing the genteel sport of golf. TIGER

Guess who leads the tour in combined driving so far in 2012? Surprise, surprise, it’s Tiger Woods, who before his recent epiphany had spent more time in the jungle than Dr. Livingstone. In those wild driving days, it was lucky that Tiger had built his body up by lifting weights, because blasting out of the heavy rough requires tower-of-power-type strength as well as technique. Granted, most of us aren’t built like Tiger, so this story is about technique rather than bodybuilding: how to hit out of the rough. Tiger knows from experience that he needs a steep, descending blow so his back shoulder moves out toward the ball on the way down. This steepens the approach arc, allowing him to miss most of the grass behind the golf ball, so he can pinch the ball as cleanly as possible. To set the angle, Tiger cocks his wrists abruptly on the way back and uncocks them at impact, but he doesn’t re-cock them on the way through. His goal is to keep his hands and clubhead below his left shoulder after the hit because the higher you finish, the more the danger that you will allow your forearms to cross, the worst thing you can do in the rough because you want the clubface open. Things to note about rough play: • The grass has wrapped around the neck of Tiger’s club in the accompanying photo, yet the clubface hasn’t shut down. If you’re not as strong as Tiger, aim to the right of your target to allow for a pull or hook caused by a shut face. • Squeeze, please: To lessen the twisting effect of the grass, grip

ABOUT THE WRITER the club much more Dr. T.J. firmly in Tomasi is a teaching both hands professional than you in Port St. Lucie, Fla. normally do. Visit his • Coming website at down, pull tjtomasi.com. hard with your left hand to steepen the angle of attack so you can “pinch” the ball. • “Chicken winging” the left arm, as Tiger does here, with a bent left elbow, keeps the clubface open.

The process of learning golf has low points when you get worse before you improve. When the ball flight is chaotic because you’re learning a new swing, it’s all too easy to panic. This is the thing that will sink you the quickest: It’s tough to learn golf if you have a low tolerance for chaos. When chaos turns into unease, it becomes very difficult to handle the period of transition between your old and new swings. This “transition trauma” is an inevitable part of learning your new swing, and if you can’t get through it, you’ll never progress to where you need to be. Good learners have faith that a viable new pattern will emerge no matter how random the early results seem to be. The newest scientific theory dealing with chaos finds definitive patterns even in systems that seem to be completely random. To be a good learner, you need to trust that a pattern is present, then honor the incubation period that all motor learning has. Basically, the message is that on the other side of chaos lives the promised land of order and control, and you need to endure the stress as part of the process of “getting to the other side.” GOLF SPOKEN HERE

Paint job Notice how Tiger has rotated the swoosh on both his hat and his chest so they line up with the shaft and his right arm. They were looking at the ball at address, but because Tiger didn’t quit on the shot, they now look at the target. Most golfers just use their arms to hack at the ball, but Tiger uses everything to dig it out.

A lip-out supposedly caused by paint. The insides of the cups in professional tournaments are painted white so you can see them on TV, and the pros often blame the paint when they rim out a putt.

ASK THE PRO

Replace your long irons with metal woods

Q: Can you give me some advice on how to play long irons? — M.M., from Pittsburgh A: Long irons for most golfers should be long gone. It takes a lot of practice and a lot of strength to hit a long iron correctly. Because they lack loft, long irons don’t produce much backspin to create height in your shots, and any sidespin causes the ball to veer left or right off a missed hit. I recommend that you take them out of your bag, and

replace them with metal woods. Trade your 2- and 3-irons for a 7-metal, and consider abandoning your 4- and 5-irons for a 9-metal or rescue club. They are much easier to get airborne, and your missed hits will be much more playable than a mistake made with a long iron. (To Ask the Pro a question about golf, email him at: TJInsider@aol.com.)

WHAT SCIENCE SAYS

THE GOLF DOCTOR

Use ‘the button’ to train your swing The magnet of the mean is strong Would you become a guy or girl with a dragon tattoo if I could prove to you that it would really help your golf game? Well, it doesn’t even have to be a dragon. Any tattoo will do as long as it vibrates. Here’s how it could work: Located throughout your body are tiny sensors that report to your brain what is going on in their district: what the joints are doing, what’s happening in the stretch receptors in the muscles, how much force is being applied as you hold your golf posture, etc. Your brain needs this information to make a coordinated swing, and even though most of your proprioceptive adjustments are unconscious, you can train this sense directly through a specially designed technique I developed called “the button.” During your swing, so much information is flowing into your brain from your muscles and joints (kinesthetic clutter) that it is difficult to keep track of where any body part is at any given time. Your coach may tell you to focus on where your left arm is halfway down, or where your right knee is at the top, but it

invariably gets lost in the clutter. To help clear up the clutter, I’ll tap a student on the target area with my hand or the butt of a golf club, and tell the student to track that area using the sensation that lingers after the tapping. It is the same type of trace that remains after being on a boat — for a short time after you land, you still have your sea legs. Guided by this residual feel during the swing, the student can keep perfect track of the body part that needs to be trained. While this low-tech button technique works pretty well, a high-tech version is coming from cell phone maker Nokia. The patent describes it as a magnetic tattoo that vibrates when stimulated by a cell phone or any synced broadcaster, such as a computer or tablet. And if you don’t want a tattoo, a detachable device about the size of a fingernail is also available. Although not designed for golf, the device could create a proprioceptive event, like my button, in the area you want to track, making it easier for you to implement the swing key you’re working on.

When’s the best time to make a big bet on a golf game? Science says it’s in the round after your opponent just shot his or her best score ever. Why? Because in this case, your bet is based on the principle of “regression toward the mean,” which predicts that performance fluctuates around a statistical standard. For example, if you’re an 85 shooter and you shoot a 95, the probabilities say that you’ll go back to shooting around 85 in the next few rounds. And you’ll regress

upward toward 85 if you just shot 75. Once an expertise level is established, your performance heads either up or down toward your mean, and the magnet of the mean is so strong that even the pros have a tough time following a really low round with another low round. Shigeki Maruyama of Japan shot 58 in the first round of a 36-hole qualifying tournament for the U.S. Open in 2000, then took 16 more strokes that afternoon — shooting a 2-over-par 74 on the same course.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“… Hank Haney’s going to get to know you, and like a snake in the grass, if he can make money off you one day in the future, he’s going to do it. And I can’t stand guys like you.” — A golf radio talk show host talking to Hank Haney. I won’t mention the host’s name because I believe he ambushed Haney, hoping Haney would abort the interview and the host would be mentioned in the national media, helping his ratings. But Haney stuck it out and was classy in the face of many bold insults, proving that if anyone is a snake in the grass, it’s the host, not Haney.

Patrolling prime time Rookies hit the streets in ‘NYC 22’

By Kyla Brewer TV Media

orensics experts and detectives get all of the prime-time glory these days. But what about the men and women on the front lines of crime fighting? A new CBS police drama shines a light on the cops who walk the beat to protect and serve. Get a glimpse at the lives of these Big Apple rookies in “NYC 22,” premiering Sunday, April 15, on CBS. Originally titled “Rookies” and later “The 2-2,” the show is set at the city’s 22nd Precinct in Upper Manhattan. The series premiere follows six rookies as they prepare to take to the streets for the very first time, guided by a veteran field-training officer and a no-nonsense gang expert. “NYC 22” takes over the coveted 10 p.m. slot left by mega-hit “CSI: Miami.” CBS execs must have high hopes for the new series to have ended “Miami’s” season a little early -- after just 19 episodes. It may come as a surprise considering the popularity of the “CSI” franchise, but prime time has become saturated with forensics investigators thanks to the acclaimed series and its spinoffs, as well as Fox’s “Bones.” And homicide detectives have seemingly always been popular TV subjects, as evidenced today in ABC’s “Castle”

Adam Goldberg stars in “NYC 22” and NBC’s “Law & Order” franchise, among others. Competing for those police-savvy viewers, “NYC 22” boasts an impressive cast. Terry Kinney takes charge as Daniel “Yoda” Dean, the officer responsible for showing the newbies the ropes. Best known as Tim McManus in the HBO prison drama “Oz,” the actor co-founded the famed Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago with Gary Sinise and Jeff Perry in 1976. Adam Goldberg stars as former police news reporter Ray “Lazarus” Harper, who happens to be the oldest of the rookies. Filmmaker, musician and actor Goldberg has one of those faces just about everyone knows. He’s had roles in such high-profile series as NBC’s “Friends” (and its spinoff “Joey,” though they were different roles) and “My Name Is Earl,” as well as

JJ Guns 2 x 2”

HBO’s “Entourage.” His role on “NYC 22” should feel familiar -- he also played an NYC cop in ABC’s short-lived series “The Unusuals” in 2009, which Kinney also starred in. Leelee Sobieski joins the growing list of film actors transitioning to television (Ashley Judd recently joined the prime-time fray in ABC’s “Missing”). Sobieski makes the jump to series TV as Jennifer “White House” Perry, a former Marine MP and onetime college volleyball star. The actress has appeared in big-screen movies “Deep Impact” (1998), “Never Been Kissed” (1999) and Stanley Kubrick’s controversial “Eyes Wide Shut” (1999). Her title role in the TV movie “Joan of Arc” (1999) earned her nominations for both a Golden Globe and an Emmy. She earned another Golden Globe nod for her work in “Uprising,” another TV movie, in 2001. Tony nominee Stark Sands portrays fourth-generation cop Kenny McLaren, who has reservations about joining the force. Youth advocate and actor Harold “House” Moore joins the “NYC 22” force as Jayson “Jackpot” Toney, a disgraced basketball player. Indie darling Judy Marte plays Tonya Sanchez, a rookie from a family with a troubled past. Finally, British actor Tom Reed rounds out the rookies as Afghani native Ahmad Kahn.

ometimes it’s better to be a big fish in a small pond. If you’re the smartest person among your friends, don’t assume that you’re the smartest there ever was. Meet Jack Carter. As a U.S. Marshal, he was arrogant, boastful and downright conceited because he thought he was smarter than everyone around him. He believes his high IQ -- which is later revealed to be about average -- entitles him to be cocky. When he is reluctantly reassigned as the new sheriff of Eureka, Oregon, he is soon eating crow. Eureka is populated by the smartest scientists and computer scientists from across the country. The town’s largest employer is Global Dynamics, the hidden institution that has discovered all of the scientific and technological breakthroughs over the course of the last century. As the new sheriff, Carter is challenged with providing a stable and crime-free environment for the townspeople, even though he doesn’t understand most of what goes on. People and androids live together in peace, and even houses have personalities. Carter’s house, known as S.A.R.A.H. (Self Actuated Residential Automated Habitat), is actually a pivotal character in several episodes. Carter’s deputy is Andy, who is actually an android, created by Global Dynamics and designed to enforce laws with no emotion. He provides a voice of reason for Carter, who is constantly getting too involved with his cases and putting himself at risk. Last season ended abruptly when an experimental shuttle dis-

COMEDY CAPTAIN: Known for

his rapid-fire delivery, improvisational skills, social commentary and ability to impersonate almost anyone, Robin Williams is undoubtedly one of the best comedians of his generation. When this man is on stage, he has the ability to make all types of people laugh so hard that their stomachs ache and their eyes overflow with tears. So it’s no great surprise that Comedy Central has chosen to honor Williams’ numerous humorous achievements by naming him this year’s Stand-Up Icon. Williams will receive the award on Saturday, April 28, when “The Comedy Awards” are taped at New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom. The ceremony will air on the network on Sunday, May 6. “Robin Williams is a comedic force of nature whose intensity and explosive free-associating style as a stand-up comedian made him a superstar,” said Casey Patterson, the award show’s executive producer. “We’re thrilled, and just a little bit scared, to be honoring Robin at ‘The Comedy Awards’ this year.” Being a bit scared is probably a good idea, for who knows what that man might say during his acceptance speech. And it’s doubtful that it’ll be censored, either -- after all, this isn’t a major network we’re talking about. It’s Comedy Central, the cabler that put “South Park” on the air and continues to

Country cooking: Music star Trisha Yearwood launches new Food show TV Media

here’s a new star on the Food Network block, and she just happens to be one of the topselling female performers in the history of country music. Indeed, with a stellar career in the music industry, Grammy winner Trisha Yearwood can now add “television food personality” to that already lengthy resume of hers, thanks to the April 14 launch of her very own cooking show on the Food Network. Airing Saturday mornings for a limited weekly run, “Trisha’s Southern Kitchen” welcomes viewers into a Nashville kitchen as the singer prepares some down-home meals. In addition to offering tips on how to lighten up some classics, she also serves up some genuine Southern hospitality by cooking up a storm with the family and friends who stop by. For Yearwood, it’s not just about the food – it’s all about cooking for and with your loved ones. In fact, Yearwood usually has a story or two to share as she prepares many of these timeless family favorites, which include barbecue chicken, Chick-less Pot Pie, Uncle Wilson’s Famous Baked Onions, and Sweet and Saltines. It’s all Southern cooking -- done the Yearwood family way. Now, cooking (and entertaining) has long been a passion for Yearwood, but it has surprisingly launched a successful second career for her. In 2008, she released her first cookbook titled “Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen,” which was a collaboration between the singer, her mother Gwen and her sister Beth. The title is a

Sportsfeature Oklahoma takes division by storm

By Joel Duplessis TV Media

s we approach the final weeks of the NBA’s regular season, teams are gearing up for what they plan to be a long playoff run. Hopes for a championship may be the highest in Oklahoma City, where the Thunder have taken the West by storm as they sit poised for greatness this spring. Led by a dominant all-star duo in Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, the Thunder has cruised through the regular season and have their sights firmly set on an NBA title. They’ll have their hands full getting through the Western Conference though, as they’ll face a grueling road that could go through San Antonio, Dallas or Los Angeles, where they could face either the Lakers and the Clippers (or both). However, after their dominating regular season, the Thunder has proven that they belong and with a roster this deep in talent, the Thunder will be great for (62) NBCSN NHL Hockey Stanley Cup

years to come. Just take a look at the age group of this team’s stars: Durant and Westbrook are 23, while Serge Ibaka and James Harden are just 22. The Thunder has one of youngest and most talented cores in the NBA, and the scary thing is that they’re still getting better. Durant and Westbrook recently inked five-year extensions, keeping the pillars of this franchise together for at least the near future. The closest comparison to the Thunder would be the L.A. Clippers, who also have a young and talented roster. The difference is in the depth. Beyond Blake Griffin and Chris Paul, the Clippers aren’t nearly as rich in the roster. A playoff collision between these two clubs is a possibility, and should it occur, it would be an instant battle. Oklahoma hits the court for three road games this week, starting at the L.A. Clippers on Monday, followed by a visit to the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday, and then to Sacramento to battle the Kings on Friday. Playoffs -- Western Conference Quarter-final Game 3.
