Stakeholders in the community believe having a positive approach and optimistic attitude can help encourage more of a “brain gain” attitude in Chautauqua County as opposed to the negative “brain drain” mentality. “I think there are segments of the local population from Jamestown and Dunkirk and the Chautauqua County region who are young people who may have a difficult time seeing themselves in careers in this community,”
says Susan McNamara, former executive director of WorkForce Investment Board and now an assistant professor of management at SUNY Fredonia. “But all of the data that we have accumulated shows that there are good jobs available and that eventually there will be a wave of retirements at businesses and firms and industries in the region.” McNamara said the focus on “brain gain” instead of “brain drain” can be strengthened by ongoing efforts of job seekers to spread the word throughout the community that they are aggressively seeking employment. “The great thing about technology today is that most young

Chautauqua County is setting itself up for success in many ways- education, small business and agriculture. Recently, the CDC has awarded grant money to three local communities that, hopefully, will push to make the County a staple of health across the nation. In 2012, the Chautauqua County Department of Health and Human Services (CCDHHS) was notified that Silver Creek, Dunkirk and Jamestown- three ‘high-need’ school districts, would be awarded grant money from the Community Transformation Grant. “We were very excited to hear about it,” said Breanne Agett, Project Coordinator for the CCDHHS. “We know that there is a lot that we’re going to be able to do, and it’s going to make a big difference.” In total, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) awarded $70 million to 40 communities across the nation. States could apply for funding on behalf of high-need counties and the CDC ultimately determined who received it. “They based it on a few factors

Founders of 5 Gyres institute to Give earth week Keynote CoupLe WiLL eXamiNe pLaStiC poLLutioN iN oCeaNS Contributed Article SUNY Fredonia
Dr. Marcus Eriksen and Anna Cummins, whose extensive survey of plastic pollution in the world’s oceans was expanded to include the Great Lakes, will deliver the SUNY Fredonia Earth Week keynote address, “The Perils of Plastic: Notes from the Oceans and the Great Lakes,” on Thursday, April 18, at 7 p.m. in Rosch Recital Hall. The event is free and open to the public. 5 Gyres Institute, which the couple founded, conducts research and communicates about the global impact of plastic pollution in oceans and employs strategies to eliminate the accumulation of plastic pollution in the five subtropical gyres. Working in collaboration with SUNY Fredonia last year, 5 Gyres Institute conducted the first survey of plastic pollution within the open waters of the Great Lakes. The pair will discuss their results and experiences. Eriksen, an advocate for ocean conservation, earned a doctorate in Science Education from the University of Southern California. As director of project development for the Algalita Marine Research Foundation, Eriksen studies and gives lectures about the plague of plastic debris in oceans. He called attention to the
plastic debris problem by mounting a 2,600-mile journey across the Pacific Ocean, from Hawaii to California, on a raft floating on 15,000 plastic bottles, with 30 sailboat masts lashed to form a deck and a Cessna airplane fuselage as a cabin. Cummins, who has over 10 years of experience in environmental non-profit work, education, writing and campaign development, has a master’s degree in International Environmental Policy from the Monterey Institute of International Studies. She joined Algalita as an education adviser,
giving public presentations on plastic marine pollution. She has worked in marine conservation, coastal watershed management, sustainability education and high school ecology instruction and was elected a National Fellow of the Explorers Club in 2010. The husband-and-wife team has also completed a month-long, 4,000-mile research expedition studying plastic debris in the North Pacific Gyre, and a 2,000mile cycling/speaking tour, from Vancouver to Mexico, speaking about plastic pollution.

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pet of the Week
Pets of the Week
This week we are featuring “Precious” and “Rex.” Precious is a sweet three-year-old gray and white kitty. She loves to run and play. She is a perfect greeter because she likes to welcome everyone into the shelter. She would be good in any home. Rex is a twelve-year-old Chihuahua. He is really a friendly guy, but he doesn’t see or hear very well. He also has a bit of a heart condition, but he is on special food and going great. He also had to have all his teeth removed, so his food is soft although he will munch on the hard stuff too. Even after all this, he is one great boy with a huge amount of love and is one of the staff favorites. If you think you could make room in your home and heart for either of these pets, please stop by the Strunk Road Adoption Center. They are great pets that just need a second chance.

The public is invited to a free workshop on implementing strategies to make Jamestown a more pedestrian and cyclist friendly city. Entitled “Toward a More Walkable and Bikeable Jamestown,” the workshop will educate, inspire, and mobilize our community to achieve this vision by making walking, biking, and transit easier, safer, and available to all. The workshop is sponsored by the Chautauqua County Health Network’s Creating Healthy Places to Live, Work & Play initiative funded by the New York State Department of Health and the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation. It will take place Thursday, April 18 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Lillian Vitanza Ney Renaissance Center at Third & Washington Streets. The workshop is free & open to the public. The workshop will be presented by Justin Booth, founder of GO Bike Buffalo, who played an instrumental role in Buffalo becoming the first city in NYS to adopt a Complete Streets ordinance. He has a background in public health and worked with the Wellness Institute of Greater Buffalo before leaving that post found GO Bike Buffalo. Booth is also on the boards of the WNY Environmental
Alliance, Grassroots Gardens of Buffalo, and other organizations dedicated to enhancing the livability of the area. Participants in the workshop will be challenged to imagine a future in which our community has transportation options that are healthy, fun, safe, and environmentally friendly. The workshop includes a short walking tour to discuss both short-term and long-term strategies. “Complete streets are designed to enable safe access for all users- pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists,” said Janet Forbes, Project Coordinator for Creating Health Places. “The workshop will be an opportunity for residents and decision-makers to learn, discuss, and develop action steps and move Jamestown to become a more walkable and bikeable community” Pedestrian safety alone is an important consideration for Complete Streets. A recent comparison of accident reports in Jamestown revealed that pedestrian injuries are 4.8 times higher than the national average. Bicycle injuries in Jamestown are 2.3 times higher than the national average. “Embracing a Complete Streets approach to transportation planning and implementation can improve the community’s sense of place,” said Mr. Booth. “This approach will change people’s percep-

“Wasting Away,” the theme of SUNY Fredonia’s 2013 Earth Week observance, examines the disposal nature of society — how a myriad of items, starting with food packaging and plastic beverage containers made for one-time use — are wreaking havoc with a planet being adversely impacted by dwindling resources and climate change. Campus faculty, students and staff will host a full range of activities and events, including lectures, exhibits, an electronics recycling drive, green expo, nature walk, film festival and trash pickup between April 13 and April 22. The keynote address, “The Perils of Plastic: Notes from the Ocean and Great Lakes,” will be presented by the research team of Dr. Marcus Eriksen and Anna Cummings, co-founders of 5 Gyres Institute, on Thursday, April 18, at 7 p.m. at Rosch Recital Hall.

WOMEN’S SECTION new lactation Resource Available exclusively at Brooks memorial Contributed Article Brooks Memorial Hospital
For new moms, the questions about breastfeeding can be daunting. From health concerns to an infant’s nutritional requirements and even the legal rights to breastfeed at the workplace, new moms often need an important advocate to provide access to information at one of the most critical times in their lives. That’s where Mindy Conti, RN, C-EFM, IBCLC, comes in. Ms. Conti is a board-certified lactation consultant in the Obstetrics/Gynecology Department at Brooks Memorial Hospital in Dunkirk, an accreditation obtained through the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners (IBLCE). Ms. Conti has been a member of the Brooks’ staff since 2004 and is the only board-certified lactation consultant in Chautauqua County that is offering lactation services to the public. According to a statement issued by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in February 2013, while the percentage of mothers who start and
continue breastfeeding is rising, officials say that providing support to new moms is still a key and necessary component in seeing the trend continue. Officials say that the benefits to both babies and breastfeeding moms are far-reaching to the infant’s overall health and wellbeing. “It’s a public health issue,” explains Roselle Atzrott, NR, BSN, CCE, CLC, Obstetrics/Gynecology Department Director at Brooks Memorial Hospital. “Medical professionals agree on the nutritional benefits of breast milk in getting infants started on the right track, so we’re pleased to have someone with this level of expertise available for patients and staff right in our department.” Individuals learn about Ms. Conti’s services through Brooks Memorial Hospital’s ongoing Childbirth Classes, as patients in the Obstetrics unit or by word of mouth in the community. In addition, information is available via the hospital’s website at www.LakeErieHealth.org. “We’re always available by phone in our unit to answer calls at any time,” Ms. Conti noted. “We teach
help their babies have the best start,” Ms. Conti explained. In addition to providing support to moms, caregivers and siblings, Ms. Conti also provides support and education to staff members in her department on an ongoing basis, according to Ms. Atzrott. “She’ll provide classes to standardize how we teach new moms the best techniques for breastfeeding and to keep our nursing staff updated on the latest information.” To obtain board certification, Ms. Conti was required to undergo 1,000 hours of interaction with moms and their infants within a five-year period. In addition, educational requirements include the completion of general college-level courses, 90 credit hours in IBLCE-approved Mindy Conti, RN, C-EFM, IBCLC lactation courses and basic breastfeeding skills an important issue for new successful completion of to moms as well as their moms as well, Ms. Conti examination requirements. significant others.

Members of the Y often ask me what they can do to overcome plateaus in their fitness (and weightloss) journey. My reaction is usually to change up their workouts somehow, add intensity to them, and “confuse” their muscles. As for losing weight, progress tends to stop when the person becomes less aware of total calories they are eating.

can see them. It sounds too easy to matter, but the simplest things make all the difference in dieting. The little things create change because they add up. And do not forget your condiments and beverages. They are rarely calorie free!! How do you get started with nutrition logging anyway? It will require a very individualized plan, and your lifestyle and goals ultimately determine what and how much you should be eating. I suggest finding out your BMR (go online and use a BMR calculator) then you will at least know what your body burns at rest, doing nothing. If you add activity into that number, you burn even more calories, and can probably consume a few more too. I don’t want to get into the details of calorie counting... but keep this in mind: Tracking all your calories will (for most) guarantee weight loss (or gain, if that is your goal) because it is simply math... calories in vs. calories out. There are 3500 calories in a pound, so you need to figure out what you are eating and what you are burning during your workouts. Creating a calorie deficit will
create change. You must record it somewhere in order to understand what the scale is doing! And remember, men and women have different calorie needs, and dipping way below your needs is just as unhealthy as overeating, so please educate yourself before trying any strict diets. The excuse that it is too time consuming or difficult to record meals and workouts is not acceptable anymore. There are so many cheap or free apps out there that you can download and use on your mobile device. And they usually exist on the regular internet so you can log on and access without a cell phone. A few of my favorites include MyFitnessPal and Lose It. If you don’t have access to a cell phone or a computer, there is always the small spiral notebook and pencil. You will discover over ten days of tracking that we are actually creatures of habit and we eat and drink the same 20 foods pretty much on a regular basis. Calorie King makes an excellent book listing thousands of foods and their values if you are unsure of what you are eating.
Failing to plan is planning to fail. I bet you have heard that expression. It is so true with exercise and with eating right. If you don’t approach these parts of your life with a goal and plan each day, you set yourself up for failure because your actions and meals become random and convenient instead of deliberate. Attack your workouts with goals you know you can achieve, and weekly set the bar a little higher for yourself. Record your achievements and be proud. Don’t leave that step out and ignore accomplishments. We all need to feel our efforts were worth it. I am sure you had excuses of why you almost didn’t exercise each day, but you overcame them. Write that down too! Feelings are an important part of the decisions we make, journal them! And if you aren’t seeing progress in the gym or on the scale, check your journal and see what you can tweak for change. I am very confident that if you log all your exercise and nutrition data for 6-8 weeks, you will make visible progress toward your goals. Good luck!
check something out, attend a program or volunteer for one of our upcoming fundraisers,” Ms. Scott said. Library hours are 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

RELIGION SECTION Catholic Corner
By Shirley HilburgerStratton Contributing Writer
Saint Faustina and the Feast of Divine Mercy Sister Maria Faustina Kowalska was a young, uneducated nun in a convent of the Congregation
of Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy in Cracow, Poland during the 1930s. She came from a very poor family that struggled on their little farm during the years of World War I. She had only three years of very simple education, so hers were the humblest tasks in the convent, usually in the kitchen or garden. However, she received extraordinary revelations or messages from Our Lord Jesus. Jesus asked Sr. Faustina to record these experiences, which she compiled in notebooks. These notebooks are known today as the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska and the words contained within are God’s loving message of Divine Mercy. Though the Divine Mercy message is not new to the teachings of the Church, Sr. Faustina’s Diary sparked a great move-
ment and a strong and significant focus on the mercy of Christ. Pope John Paul II canonized Sr. Faustina in 2000 making her the “first saint of the new millennium”. Speaking of Sr. Faustina and the importance of the message contained in her Diary, the Pope call her “the great apostle of divine mercy in our time”. Today, we continue to rely on Saint Faustina as a constant reminder of the message to trust in Jesus’ endless mercy, and to live life mercifully toward others. We celebrated the Feast of Divine Mercy on the Second Sunday of Easter, this year it was on April 7. What are the Works of Mercy? Corporal Works Feed the hungry Give drink to the thirsty Clothe the naked
Shelter the homeless Comfort the prisoners Visit the sick Bury the dead Spiritual Works Teach the ignorant Pray for the living and dead Correct sinners Counsel those in doubt Console the sorrowful Bear wrongs patiently Forgive wrongs willingly Be Merciful as Your Father is Merciful We are not only to receive the mercy of God, but to use it by being merciful to others through our actions, our words, and our prayers; in other words, we are to practice the corporal and spiritual works (acts) of mercy.
The Lord revealed to St. Faustina: “I demand from you deeds of mercy, which are to arise out of love for Me. You are to show mercy to your neighbors always and everywhere. You must not shrink from this or try to excuse or absolve yourself from it.”; and “I am giving you three ways of exercising mercy toward your neighbor: the first — by deed, the second — by word, the third — by prayer. In these three degrees is contained the fullness of mercy, and it is an unquestionable proof of love for Me. By this means a soul glorifies and pays reverence to My mercy.” Excerpts from www.thedivine mercy. org. Angola native Shirley HilburgerStrattion admires the saints and enjoys reading about their lives.
The Weekly Word
Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church Jamestown thenewfamilychurch.com
Laborers Wanted Jesus said in Matthew 9:37, “… the harvest is truly plenteous but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth laborers into His harvest fields.” Churches all over this nation are wondering why we’re not seeing more souls come into the Kingdom. Many church pews are sitting empty and pastors are feeling discouraged. Is it because there is such a common indifference in our society towards the things of God? No, Jesus said that the harvest is ready. I once heard a statistic that said that if every church in Jamestown (my home city) was filled to capacity that there still would be more than 50% of the population NOT in church. There is plenty
of harvest for EVERY church to win. The seats stay empty because the “ordinary” Christian has been convinced that it is the pastor’s job to fill the seats. There are people out there that God wants to bless, teach, and protect. But if a laborer does not go to them, the fruit will rot and God’s baskets will not be full. We do not have a harvest problem, we have a laborer problem. God’s power is transformational. It turns the lost into found. It turns mourning into dancing. It turns death into life. God is not satisfied until we look upon our lives and cannot recognize it from what it once was. But how does that power flow? What is our part? Jesus said in Acts 1:8, “But you shall receive power after that
the Holy Spirit is come upon you, and you shall BE WITNESSES unto Me…” If I asked most Christians what the power of the Holy Spirit is for most would reply, “To get me through troubles” or “To help me with my problems.” Yes, the Lord delivers us from all afflictions (Ps 34:19) but what was the primary purpose for being Spirit filled? The power of God in our lives was to reveal the character and goodness of God to the nations! It was to light the candle of our spirits to reveal God’s plan of salvation to those in darkness. That power was given to dominate the sin that once ruled over us. Our lives are a canvas in which God uses to paint a selfportrait. Our lives are the testimony that clinches the verdict:
God is real, Jesus is Lord, and the only difference between my old life and new life is His sacrifice. I love it when people from my past ask me, “What happened to you?” I simply tell them: Jesus. But what if you’re not actively seeking to spread the gospel? What if you’re only searching for the end of your troubles? Then the power will lie dormant. God wants to bless your life but He wants you to tell people about Christ even more. The life you always dreamed of having would come automatically if we would seek that which God has lost. There is a great destiny in store for all of us who have made Jesus our Lord. That destiny will only go fulfilled when we use God’s power for what He intended.

Boy scouts to Honor Bill Briggs with the Good scout Award

Contributed Article Allegheny Highlands Council
The Allegheny Highlands Council, Boy Scouts of America, headquartered in Falconer, New York, announced today that Bill Briggs will be honored with the Good Scout Award at their Annual Golf Tournament. It will be held at Shorewood Country Club on Friday, June 21. “We are extremely pleased,” said Derek Dawson, chairman of this year’s event. “Bill has done so much for our community for so very long. He really and truly is a good scout and a great guy, and really deserves this tribute. This is our 35th Anniversary of the Good Scout Tournament, and we promise a fun day for everyone involved.” Bill Briggs is a lifelong resident of Chautauqua County. He was a Cub Scout at a Pack that met at Fairmount Elementary School and a Boy Scout in Troop 165 at Bethel Lutheran Church in Jamestown. He admits that some of his fondest memories as a youth revolve around his scouting experiences. “It’s obvious that scouting had an impact, because he is an all-around good guy and treats everyone honestly and fairly. He embodies what a good scout means,” Derek concluded. Bill shared that he really enjoyed Scouting in Action when he was a scout, which

The Dream On fund assists more than 100 people annually, providing services and supports that enable persons with disabilities to become independent, productive, participating members of society. Though it is supported by donations from TRC Foundation and private contributions, the fund receives so many requests for assistance that it does not have enough money to meet everyone’s needs.

Your Retirement Is Definitely Worth Planning For You’ve heard it said before: Timing is everything. Especially when it comes to starting your Social Security benefits. More than 90% of working Americans are counting on Social Security to replace part of their current incomes when they retire, but the truth is the majority of those already drawing benefits receive permanently reduced amounts due to ill-informed timing decisions. In fact, many Americans fail to take into account the true impact of factors such as age, job status, taxes and marital status when deciding when to start receiving benefits. And that can prove to be a costly mistake.

Featured Speaker
Hailing from Waterloo, Ontario, Jim Lorentz dreamed of playing in the National Hockey League. For six seasons, Lorentz wore the blue and gold of the Buffalo Sabres and scored 134 goals and more than 300 points before retiring from hockey following the 1977-1978 season. After a brief stint as the coach of the Buffalo Junior Sabres, Mr. Lorentz became a member of the Sabres’ broadcast team. He served as color commentator alongside Buffalo legends Ted Darling and Rick Jeanneret for 27 seasons until retiring in 2007. He is a member of the Sabres Hall of Fame and the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame.

DFT Communications and its employees are proud to announce the distribution of over $2,600 to local not-for-profit organizations through the company’s 2012 employee caring program. Local charities that benefitted from these donations include the Brocton-Portland Food Pantry, Chautauqua County Rural Ministry, Chautauqua Striders, Gowanda Food Pantry, Chautauqua County Hospice, Lake Shore Humane Society, Neighbor-toNeighbor Food Pantry, the RO Foundation, The Silver Creek Food Pantry, Susan Komen Race for the Cure and the Westfield Community Kitchen. This giving is made possible through employees participation in Friday dress down days at DFT. Employees are invited to have an amount they choose taken out of their pay check each week, which in turn entitles them to dress down for work every Friday. “Over 60% of our employees participate in this ongoing program, states Wendy Barlette, HR Director for DFT Communications and coordinator of
the funds for the program. “We are very fortunate to have so many people at DFT who truly care about our communities and who want to help make things just a little better for someone else.” All of the donations distributed through these funds are based on recommendations from the employees each year, and according to Barlette, are causes “that are near and dear to their hearts.” Each recommendation is carefully reviewed before the final selections are made. Mark R. Maytum, President and COO of DFT Communications stated, “We are extremely proud of our employees for the generosity they show and the commitment they make in trying to help out others in need. We are very fortunate at DFT to be able to give back to the community and having our employees taking such an active role in this kind of program
is even more rewarding.” Marketing and Public Relations Manager Dan Siracuse says that the Employee Caring Program is in keeping with the company’s long history of community service and philanthropy. Plans are being made and employee recommendations are now being accepted for the 2013 Employee Caring Program. DFT Communications is a 115 year old company offering local and long distance telephone service; Internet; digital phone service (VoIP); residential and commercial security systems; call center services; business telephone systems; satellite television; communications and data networking services; fiber and copper wiring solutions; computer repair; computer, television and electronic retail sales and electrical contracting services.

I am old enough to remember eight-track tapes and 45 rpm records. If you have ever used those forms of media you can’t help but appreciate digital media. Digitized, computer recorded music improved the overall quality of the music. Equally important is the improved distribution and sharing of music through the Internet. There are several ways to listen to music and in this article I am going to focus on one software program called Spotify. Music can be easily listened to on the Internet through various websites and software. When we use the Internet to listen to music as it is being downloaded, we refer to this as a “stream”. Spotify has agreements with music publishers that allows Spotify to stream their music. Spotify has a tremendous library but not all publishers have agreements with Spotify. Major artists like The Beatles, Led Zepplin, and The Eagles do not have agreements so you will not
find their music in Spotify. But there are many major artists who have signed up. It is easy to get started with Spotify. You can create a free account or just login with a Facebook account. By logging in with Facebook you can share the music that you are listening to with your Facebook friends. Once you have logged into Spotify you can search by artist or by title and create playlists. It is pretty easy to create playlists and add music. In this program I have found that “right-mouse-click” is a very convenient way to create playlists and share music. If you need support there is a great help section on the Spotify website and a tremendous community forum. Spotify is also a great way to discover new music as it advertises artists inside the media player and you can discover artists by listening to a radio station based on one of your favorite artists. Spotify also has a library of its own apps. These apps allow you to discover more music, to karaoke, play music based on your mood, or play music from other places
in the world. The apps add an element of fun and variety to this program. There are several good media players and web sites that are great for listening to music. Spotify is interesting because it has the ability to offer many different services. Spotify can be downloaded as a desktop computer program or as an app for your smartphone or ipod. Using Spotify on a computer is free if you don’t mind an occasional commercial interruption. If you want to remove the commercials and listen on your computer it will cost $4.99 a month. If you want to use Spotify on your Smartphone or iPod you have to subscribe to the Spotify Premium service, which is $9.99 a month. You can sign up for a 30 day free trial to evaluate the premium service and see if it is worth it. You can listen to an unlimited amount of music regardless of which plan you are using. Give it a try! Philip Bens has worked in Information Technology for 15 years. He currently is the Technology Coordinator at Cassadaga Valley Central School District.

The Musical Journeys Program of the Fredonia School of Music concludes its seventh season of free concerts designed to appeal to very young children. Selected student ensembles from the Fredonia School of Music will perform halfhour Children’s Concerts on four Saturday mornings with two performances (one at 10:30 a.m. and one at 11:30 a.m.). The fourth and fi nal concert will be held on Saturday, April 20 in Dunkirk Free Library, 536 Central Avenue, Dunkirk. Planned with the help of SUNY Fredonia faculty who are experts in music and education, the concerts are designed to introduce very young audiences (from infants to six-year-olds) to musical instruments. In this child-friendly environment, performers will invite the children to sit

on the floor close to the musicians; family members are encouraged to bring blankets or carpet squares to sit on. Strollers can be parked around the edges of the seating area. “It’s wonderful to see the musical relationship between the children and the college student performers develop as the concert progresses. The musicians are sharing music they love, and the children certainly respond to that,” said Sarah Hamilton, associate professor of oboe and coorganizer. A guitar quartet will perform at the Apr. 20 concert. The musicians are Fredonia School of Music students Joshua Erb (Penn Yan), Anthony LaLena (East Northport), Randy Lopez (Brooklyn), and Matt Mazanek (Mastic Beach). “The Children’s Concerts are enjoyable, childappropriate opportunities
for very young children to interact with music and musicians. For the young audience and the performers, music becomes a playmate to join in a thrilling adventure.” said Jill Reese, assistant professor of music and co-organizer at the Fredonia School of Music. “During these events, learning and teaching among the children and the student musicians is mutual: children learn about music through moving, listening, and creating, and our student musicians learn to engage young imaginations and ignite new musical passions!” The Children’s Concert Series is part of the Musical Journeys Program, a community outreach project offered by the Fredonia School of Music.

As spring has sprung and summer is just around the corner, National Fuel reminds residents to call 811, the toll-free national “Call Before You Dig” phone number, or visit www.call811.com, prior to planning any excavation projects this year. New York state law requires residents to call 811 – a free service – prior to digging projects to prevent accidental damage to underground utility lines. The national 811 phone number connects callers with local One Call Centers. Operators record the excavation locations and notify National Fuel of the callers’ plans. National Fuel then dispatches professional locators to mark the approximate locations of its lines for free. Homeowners and contractors should call 811 at least two, but no more than 10 business days, in advance of the start of their projects to
Audubon Center and Sanctuary
With more than 80 volunteers having a great time last year, the Audubon Center and Sanctuary is looking forward to another wonderful Volunteer Day in 2013. On Saturday, April 20, Audubon will celebrate an early Earth Day by working to make their buildings and grounds more beautiful. The event will take place rain or shine and is guaranteed to be fun. After the hard work, lunch will be provided to all volunteers. The schedule is: 8:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. - Registration 9 a.m. - Select work crew 9:30 a.m. to noon - Work, work, work (and have fun!)

Many alumni like Wielgasz go back to NCCS to give back to the school that offered them so much as students. “We have a lot of students who want to come back here after graduation,” Fitzgerald adds. NCCS’s 2012-2013 academic year began with the introduction of promethium whiteboards, used by students and teachers in grades Pre-K through 8, which is a new technology to enhance their learning through interactive activities.

community news 13 positive results. Some goals are to integrate physical activity into elementary grade classrooms, and adopt or improve policies encouraging students to walk to bike by implementing safe routes to schools in each district. Tying into these are the goals that affect the community-at-large, one of which focuses on enhancing the ‘complete streets’ policy. “Complete Streets is a focused on making the streets safer for everyone,” said Schmidtfrerick-Miller. “The streets and sidewalks should be safe, and comfortable for everyone from the child walking to school, to the elderly woman who
has to weave in between cars to see traffic. Even making roads more comfortable for drivers by widening or more clearly marking lanes, that’s what complete streets is all about.” There are lots of others on the agenda too, from prohibiting tobacco use at off-campus school-sponsored events to a smokefree policy in all multi-unit housing. So far, though, the response has been good. “The communities have widely received these changes well,” said Schmidtfrerick-Miller. “It’s just a matter of starting them on the right path.”

Star Sports Editor
For the past few seasons, Dunkirk’s softball lineup card has been relatively easy to fill out — especially the pitcher and catcher positions. But the Lady Marauders will be without their longtime battery — twin sisters Aldyn and Alayna Carlson — in 2013. The duo, along with second baseman Brittney Collins has graduated and moved on, but its absence is notable.
“It’s good and bad,” Sliwa said of his roster. “I have seven seniors and I can’t play them all.”

“It’s good and bad,” he said of his roster. “I have seven seniors and I can’t play them all. Joyce Bomasuto, Khee Nance, Katie Hanlon, Lacey Clark, Lilly Rollins, Alexis McWilson and Alisha “It was more important than I thought it’d be,” head coach John Meyer — I can’t play all of them. Sliwa said of the departures. “It’s I told them that right off that bat becoming apparent that Brittney that I have to play some younger Collins was critical to our lineup. kids.

cold. Springville might not be able to play a home game for at least two weeks. They still have snow on the ground.” The Lady Marauders’ annual Myrtle Beach trip wasn’t even immune to inclement weather. The team had games shortened by rain and weren’t even able to get on a field for practice a few of the days because the scheduling became so condensed. Even though it was less than ideal, the trip still allowed the team to get a little work in. “Going down there did help,” Sliwa reiterated. “Every team I talked to down there that was from up North struggled a little bit with their bats. They just couldn’t hit the ball. You just don’t see enough live pitching. You can do all the machine work in the world, but live pitching is different. That’s what we need to do in the next few days.”

The entire CCAA Division 1 scene has changed since one year ago. Last year, there were three dynamic pitchers — Falconer’s Shelby Overturf, Olean’s Chelsea Calabro and of course Dunkirk’s Aldyn Carlson — but all three have graduated. “It’s up for grabs,” Sliwa said of Division 1. “It’s going to come down to which pitcher in our league steps up. I’m leaving it up to everyone. I’m anxious to see what Allegany-Limestone brings. They have a high-quality coach. I’m going to say right now that it’s anybody’s league. Unless some pitcher steps up that I don’t know about. I’d say it will be an offensive league based on good team defense.”

COMMENTARY CONTINUED FROM PG 1 or not is meaningless. You must see this movie. • We Are Marshall — This movie depicts the tragic 1970 plane crash that took the lives of a number of coaches, players and fans of the Marshall University football program. Admittedly I’ve never seen it, but I certainly will. • 61 — Even as a noted ‘non-Yankees’ fan, I have to admit that this movie was great. Sixty-one used to be the most hallowed record in all of sports and this retells the story of Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle’s chase of Babe Ruth’s home run record. • Pride of the Yankees —Another historical Yankees pic, this one follows the life of Lou Gehrig, a Hall-of-Fame talent who was stricken with ALS, a deadly nerve disease. • Friday Night Lights — Racial tension threatens to derail high school football team. I know, you’ve heard this one before, but that doesn’t mean it’s not entertaining. Not as good as ‘Remember the Titans’, but certainly one of the top sports movies. • The Greatest Game Ever Played — This is not just a great movie based on a true story, but the actual event happened in 1913, so you get to see some fantastic old-timey golf outfits. • The Blind Side — I very nearly forgot this one, despite having watched it recently. Don’t be fooled however, it’s not a forgettable movie. The film doesn’t exactly stay true to the facts from the real Michael Oher’s life, but Sandra Bullock is fantastic and Oher did just win a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens. • Rudy — Sean Astin

some drama. • Remember the Titans — As legendary as Denzel Washington’s career has been, he will always be Coach Herman Boone to me. It’s the story of a town torn apart by racial tensions and its high school football team’s first integrated season. This isn’t just a mustsee movie, it’s a must own. • Field of Dreams — It’s possible that my love of baseball came from this movie. If you’re not crying when the doctor comes off the field and can’t go back, well then, you’re not human. Ray Liotta is perfect as “Shoeless” Joe Jackson. It’s a movie that will make every son want to “have a catch” with their fathers. • Breaking Away — Wait, is that the bumbling burglar from ‘Home Alone’? You bet it is. Daniel Stern was also in another decent sports movie called ‘Celtic Pride’ with Dan Aykroyd. This one is about cycling though, and Best of the rest • Rocky & Rocky II — I with my new-found love of the sport, ‘Breaking Away’ realize I’m cheating by was super entertaining. putting two movies under The ending was a little far one listing, but ‘Rocky II’ fetched with out-of-shape is one of the few sequels I guys able to keep up with can think of that matches the original, though I know real cyclists, but what are some people would disagree. you gonna do? ‘Flying Scotsman’ is also a very Sylvester Stallone wasn’t originally considered for the good cycling movie for those who are interested. role because the producers were looking at guys like • The Natural — Robert Burt Reynolds and Robert Redford stars as an unasRedford, but now Stallone suming baseball player who and the character of Rocky suddenly becomes great. are almost synonymous.

Is it possible he’s the greatest actor in the history of the world? • Brian’s Song — Based on a book written by the great Gale Sayers, this fl ick has a reputation for making grown men weep like school girls. The original was made in 1971 and a remake was put out in 2001. From what I’ve heard, however, the original is the only one worth seeing. • Seabiscuit — Yes, horse racing is considered a sport and this movie is widely regarded as one of the best sports movies ever. Unfortunately I’ve never seen it, but I had to include it for its legacy. Seabiscuit was name “Horse of the Year” in 1938.

Will Smith and Matt Damon star in a golf fl ick about a mystical caddy who helps a former pro recover his game. Is it golf season yet? • Million Dollar Baby — I was unaware you were allowed to combine Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman, but I guess if it’s in a movie about a female boxer then it’s allowed. Plus the film won four Academy Awards, so who can argue with that? • Happy Gilmore — Yes, I realize this should have been in my comedy section last week, but when I realized that I forgot it, I had to take out ‘Glory Road’, which is a great movie, but we’re talking ‘Happy Gilmore’ here. We’re talking “You will not make this putt.” We’re talking “Your ball struck my foot.” We’re talking Bob Barker beating Adam Sandler to a pulp and Shooter McGavin. Go to your happy place and watch this movie for the 100th time. I know I will. So there it is: my list of 42 sports movies. Before anyone gets too upset over movies I omitted, let me remind you that this was only 42 movies. I realize that I left off such classics as ‘The Longest Yard’, ‘Radio’ and ‘Bull Durham’. That said, I’d still love to hear your suggestions for titles I may have overlooked because I’m always looking to watch a good sports movie.

VINCE GULLO, FREDONIA BASEBALL
By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
This weekly feature will take a more personal look at one of our area’s fantastic high school coaches. Athletes come and go, but it’s the coaches that really make Chautauqua County sports what they are. Gullo has been the head coach of the Fredonia Hillbillies baseball team for the past 12 years. In that time he has helped the school amass four league titles, five Section 6 titles, three trips to the Far West Regionals, two state finals appearances and a state champion in 2006. He has compiled a career record of 190-82 while garnering a well-deserved reputation for building one of the best baseball programs in Western New York. Q: What made you want to start coaching? Gullo: “I’m very sports oriented. I love being around players that are interested in getting better. I love the competition and competing against better teams. It’s great seeing how players react in certain situations and building off of that. Of course, I love teaching the skills as well. Q: Has there been anyone who has influenced your coaching career? Gullo: “Defi nitely Dave Giambrone. He was my soccer coach. The way he handled us players back in the ‘80s — he was firm yet caring and he had a way about him that gave us confidence. He started me in this idea of coaching. Coach Criscione was also a big influence. He was my high school coach at Fredonia and taught me to make the game of baseball as simple as possible to high
school ball players. Q: What is your absolute favorite thing about coaching? Gullo: “I love being the underdog and winning games that no one thought we should be able to. That’s very rewarding.” Q: What have you found to be the hardest part of coaching? Gullo: “I try to treat all the kids the same. Sometimes my methods may not work the same way on different athletes. I mean well for all of them. It’s tough having kids on the bench when they feel like they should be playing. Maybe they should. You only have nine spots. You try to give everybody a chance to win their spot, but sometimes it’s tough.” Q: What has been your proudest moment as a coach? Gullo: “What Cory Cain did for us in ’09, his father had cancer and passed away that year. To see his determination carry us all the way through that season to the state semifinals, that was an awesome moment. Also, that ’05 team — we had no business getting to the state finals, but they just cared about each other so much. They were so determined. Then the next year winning the state title with that same group of guys. Seeing guys succeed in this sport is very rewarding.” Q: Do you have any personal goals set for the future? Gullo: “I’m not counting wins, but we’d like a few more championships here. I have a great coaching staff. I’m married and have four children. I’d like to see my kids play some ball for me someday. I just want to stick around as long as I can.”

my bag was a little lighter the rest of the way without those two extra balls. No. 3 at Sugar Hill is a relatively short par 3. Now believe me when I say that par-3s are my mortal enemy. I probably played 20 rounds of golf last year, so let’s say I attempted something like 40-50 par 3s. I probably landed my tee shot on the green three or four times. It became a running joke as the season went on, but it’s also something I intend on improving this year. Of course I didn’t hit the green, but I came close enough that my second shot was a simple 60 degree lob wedge within 10 feet of the pin. Naturally I missed the easy putt, but two bogeys in my first three holes for the day left me feeling pretty good. I actually fi nished the day with five bogeys (and some holes we won’t talk about). I missed par putts on four of those, but putting was by far my biggest strength

in my fi rst year of golfi ng, so I certainly expect to be sinking those putts later in the season. My overall score of 51 certainly isn’t fantastic, but for a fi rst time out and having missed five or six makeable putts, I left satisfied. Also of note was the fact that I actually landed my tee shot on the green on No. 8 — the second par 3 at Sugar Hill. Scott had to out-do me and landed his shot within 10 feet of the pin before sinking his first birdie of the year. We had the course to ourselves because no one else was stupid brave enough to take on the elements. That allowed us to really take our time and hit a few practice shots throughout the round without disrupting anyone else. It was a great way to warm up for what I hope will be a successful season. TIP OF THE WEEK: Grip the club in your fingers, not your palm.

At 14, Tiger Woods was running crosscountry and trying to stay on top of his homework. Adam Scott was psyched to finish second against a bunch of 17-year-olds. Rory McIlroy had thoughts of playing in the Masters, but it was the European Young Masters. The world's best players are marveling at Guan Tianling, the 14-yearold from China who will be the youngest to ever play in the Masters this week, and the youngest player at any major in 148 years. ''I mean, this kid can't play high school golf. He's not in high school yet,'' Woods said Tuesday. Guan's presence isn't an expansion of Augusta National's Junior Pass program, which allows kids 8 to 16 to tag along to the Masters for free with an adult. He earned his spot here by winning the Asia Pacific Amateur Championship last fall, a tournament he led wire to wire. He also shot a 70 in the second round of the Australian Open last December, and he impressed Woods with his poise when they played a practice round Monday. ''He's so consistent,'' Woods said.

What a week for Rick Pitino! He's elected to the Hall of Fame. His horse is headed to the Kentucky Derby. His son gets a prominent head coaching job. Then he caps it off with what he wanted most. Another national championship. For that, he can thank 13 of the grittiest guys he's ever coached. Luke Hancock produced another huge game off the bench, scoring 22 points, and Pitino became the first coach to win national titles at two schools when Louisville rallied from another 12-point deficit to beat Michigan 82-76 in the NCAA championship game Monday night. ''This team is one of the most together, toughest and hard-nosed teams,'' the coach said. ''Being down never bothers us. They just come back.'' More like relentless to the very end.

Louisville Beats Michigan 82-76 For National Title said. ''I'm just amazed they could accomplish everything we put out there.'' No one was tougher than Hancock, who matched his season high after a 20-point effort in the semifi nal victory over Wichita State. This time, he came off the bench to hit four straight 3-pointers in the first half after Michigan got a boost from an even more unlikely player. Freshman Spike Albrecht made four straight from beyond the arc, too, blowing by his career high before the break with 17 points. Coming in, Albrecht was averaging 1.8 points a game and had not scored more than seven all season. Albrecht didn't do much in the second half, but Hancock fi nished what he started for Louisville. He made it 5-for-5 when he hit his fi nal 3 from the corner with 3:20 remaining to give the Cardinals their biggest lead, 76-66. Michigan wouldn't go away, but Hancock wrapped it up by making two free throws with 29 seconds left. While Pitino shrugged off any attempt to make this about him, there was no doubt the Cardinals wanted to win a national title for someone else - injured guard Kevin Ware. Watching again from his seat at the end of the Louisville bench, his injured right leg propped up on a chair. Ware's gruesome injury during the regional final will forever be linked to this tournament. He landed awkwardly, snapped his leg and was left writhing on the floor with the bone sticking through the skin. On this night, he hobbled gingerly onto the court with the aid of crutches, basking in a sea of confetti and streamers. Louisville again came out wearing Ware's No. 5 on the back of their warmup jerseys; the front said, ''Ri5e to the Occasion.'' When the title belonged to the Cardinals, they lowered the basket so the injured player could cut a strand out of the net. This one belonged to him as much as anyone on the court. ''These are my brothers,'' Ware said. ''They got the job done. I'm so proud of them, so proud of them.''

Jets Snap Sabres’ Three-Game Win Streak Contributed Article Associated Press
Aaron Gagnon's fi rst NHL goal was quite important to the playoffhopeful Winnipeg Jets while the Buffalo Sabres’ playoff chances took a major blow. Gagnon netted the winning goal in the Jets' 4-1 victory over the Sabres on Tuesday night. Gagnon played in just his third game since he was called up from the AHL. ''The first one always is the one you remember for the rest of your life,'' the 26-year-old Gagnon said. ''I guess you couldn't get them at a better time, especially right now when we're trying to claw our way back in the playoff race.'' Kyle Wellwood, Andrew Ladd and Blake Wheeler had Winnipeg's other goals. Kevin Porter had the only goal for the Sabres in the third period, spoiling what could have been Ondrej Pavelec's fi rst shutout of the season. Porter's shot glanced off Wheeler. Pavelec fi nished with 29 saves. It was the second consecutive win for the Jets during a six-game homestand they might have to sweep to make the playoffs. They trail Washington by two points in the Southeast Division. ''I think we like what we've done the last two games but there's a long way to go here and we've got to keep our foot on the pedal,'' said Ladd, who had a goal and an assist in the second period. Winnipeg coach Claude Noel said his team has to use the same formula Thursday when it faces the Florida Panthers, currently last in the Eastern Conference.

The Jets are tied in points with the New York Rangers, who are in eighth place in East. The Washington Capitals remained two points ahead at the top of the Southeast Division after a win in Montreal on Tuesday. Wellwood scored fi rst for the Jets, a wrist shot from the slot off a pass from Evander Kane just under five minutes into the second period that beat Ryan Miller. Gagnon fired a slap shot from the same spot on a pass from Dustin Byfuglien. Just before the period ended, Bryan Little and Ladd got a jump on a race to the Sabres' net and Ladd fi red one past a prone Miller. Wheeler fi nished things with an empty-netter. The Jets dominated early. The fi rst period looked like a Winnipeg power play until the last few minutes. It took almost seven minutes for the Sabres to put a shot on the board. Sabres interim coach Ron Rolston said his team turned it on in the third period, but by then it was too late. ''We were lucky to get some bounces there but again there was a couple of odd-man rushes we didn't even get a shot on net,'' he said. ''Obviously that's important.'' Both teams struck out on their power-play opportunities, three for the Sabres and one for the Jets. Both defenseman Tobias Enstrom and Little headed to the Winnipeg dressing room during the fi rst. Little was hit by a puck fi red by a teammate but it wasn't clear what happened to Enstrom. Little returned, Enstrom did not.

same time, Regier was able to acquire, in addition to other things, some high-end picks for the players he traded. On top of that, Buffalo has more valuable trade chips in Thomas Vanek and Ryan Miller if they decide to take the rebuilding process a step further over the summer. Regardless of whether or not Regier stays around, perhaps years from now the trades he pulled the trigger on will be seen as the start of what was a successful rebuild.

NHL Power Rankings (through march 27, 2013)
By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
These rankings are the opinions of a panel of two. Don’t agree with our rankings? Send us your thoughts at stefan.gestwicki@star-mediagroup.com. 1) Chicago Blackhawks 30-5-4 You know you’re having a dream season when Ray Emery has 2 shutouts in 3 games. 2) Pittsburgh Penguins 30-10-0 They’ve clinched the Atlantic, but that’s small potatoes for a team with Cup aspirations. 3) Anaheim Ducks 27-8-5 With a generous schedule coming up, look for the Ducks to clinch a playoff berth quickly. 4) Montreal Canadiens 25-9-5 Even in this shortened season, the Habs could surpass last year’s win total (31). 5) Boston Bruins 25-9-4 This is the team everyone in the East wants to avoid a 7-game series with come playoff time. 6) Los Angeles Kings 22-14-4 The defending champs are still struggling on the road with an 8-10-3 record. 7) Vancouver Canucks 22-11-6 Calgary, Colorado, Nashville is their next three games as the Canucks pull away in NW. 8) San Jose Sharks 20-12-7 They know how to please their home crowds with still only one regulation loss at the HPP. 9) St. Louis Blues 22-14-2 Sure looks like those deadline deals are paying off as St. Louis has won five in a row. 10) Washington Capitals 21-17-2 Caps are the latest Southeast team to get hot and take over first place. But for how long? 11) Minnesota Wild 22-15-2 Dany Heatley is out for the season. He’s not the 50goal scorer he was, but it still hurts. 12) Toronto Maple Leafs 22-13-4 For all its hard work, Toronto will probably be rewarded with a date with Boston in Round 1. 13) New York Islanders 20-16-4Tuesday’s win over Philly put the Isles closer to a playoff spot while burying the Flyers. 14) New York Rangers 19-16-4 Coming into the season playoffs were just a given, but time’s running out on the Rangers. 15) Detroit Red Wings 19-15-5 Pavel Datsyuk is second in the league with six gamewinning goals. 16) Winnipeg Jets 20-19-2 A loss to Buffalo would have been catastrophic, but the Jets responded big. 17) Ottawa Senators 19-14-6 Five straight losses have dropped Ottawa to sixth in the East, just two points up from 9th. 18) Columbus Blue Jackets 17-16-7 New sniper Marian Hossa did his job with a goal and an assist in Tuesday’s win over SJ. 19) Dallas Stars 19-17-3 Few people saw three straight wins and a playoff push coming after deadline moves. 20) Buffalo Sabres 16-18-6 Loss to Winnipeg probably ended the playoff hopes, but at least they didn’t roll over. 21) Phoenix Coyotes 17-16-6 A brutal closing schedule will almost certainly leave Phoenix outside the top 8 in the West. 22) Edmonton Oilers 16-16-7 It’s absolutely fascinating how terribly mediocre this team is. They are always .500. 23) New Jersey Devils 15-14-10 It feels like this team hasn’t won a game since the Nixon Administration. Talk about a slump. 24) Nashville Predators 15-18-8 Preds have been shut out twice in the last three games. Odd time to start tanking. 25) Tampa Bay Lightning 17-20-2 Martin St. Louis assisted on Vincent Lacavlier’s goal for his 900th career point. 26) Philadelphia Flyers 17-19-3 You get the feeling this team is just going through the motions until the offseason. 27) Florida Panthers 13-20-6 Conversely, no team with nothing to play for puts forth more effort than the Panthers. 28) Carolina Hurricanes 16-21-2 This collapse is unprecedented. They’ve been outscored 56-21 since March 14. 29) Calgary Flames 14-20-4Horrible defense plus uninspired goaltending equals a league-high 134 goals allowed. 30) Colorado Avalance 12-22-5 The season began with high hopes, but now it can’t end soon enough for Avs fans.
