FREDstock is a new initiative that aims to restore Fredonia’s annual tradition of Fred Fest to its roots. Unlike its predecessor, FREDstock is not affi liated with SUNY Fredonia, although it is planned and organized by current students. “We are working together to keep the legacy of Fred Fest alive,” said Matthew Mincin, founder and president of FREDstock. The organizers want people to know that the main focus is to give SUNY Fredonia students and the local community a proper way to celebrate the end of the semester and the revival of spring. They stress that this will support the local community while keeping the students and the village of Fredonia residents safe. “This is going to be something that is going to be a legacy, something that people will be able to do for ideally, who knows, the rest of Fredonia’s existence. You know, that’s a dream. So was this idea,” said Mincin. According to fredstock.org, Fred Fest originated in the year 1980 as the Fredonia

Festival and was intended to celebrate “warmth, two days of Frisbee slinging, beer swallowing, bike riding, skateboarding and live music along with singing, dancing, and laughter.” However, there is a growing group that feel Fred Fest has turned away from these original intentions and moved toward an underground house party scene. “FREDstock is supposed to be all about the music. Basically, people are caught up on the drinking and the partying and they forget that the real meaning of Fred Fest. What FREDstock really is there for is the music: to listen to bands and to get local bands from places like Buffalo to perform and just to listen

to music,” said Makayla Santiago, senior music business and art administration major of SUNY Fredonia. Comparing FREDstock to Fred Fest, FREDstock’s mission seems to exemplify the original principles of Fred Fest, yet it also seeks to expand on those principles. According to David Neimanis the co-founder and booking agent of FREDstock, FREDstock will be “two days of peace, music, and good vibes.” The organizers want to highlight the quality of music that there is in Western NY. They have booked bands from Fredonia, Rochester, Buffalo, Jamestown, and Syracuse. “FREDStock is going to bring awareness to the talent that WNY holds musically

and artistically. We’re giving a lot of local bands, businesses, vendors, and artists a great opportunity for exposure,” said Neimanis. This year’s festival will feature Sophistafunk, a national act hailing from Syracuse, as the headliner. Sophistafunk is a multi-genre band rooted by old school funk and hip-hop and is scheduled to close the night on Saturday, May 3rd. According to their band website, Sophistafunk is known for their huge sound, which is created by only three members. The band has won over crowds across the nation with their stage presence and tight musicianship. Other featured bands include: Honey Spine, Continued on PG 2

INSIDE THIS WEEK

But what if… What if we took charge over it? What if we said ‘this far and no further’? Choosing joy may mean choosing change, and as uncomfortable as that can be it may be your only option. Take your average Saturday. Most folks get yard or housework done, or take a day to rest. But maybe if you changed it up, it would spice up the whole week. Plan a day trip. It doesn’t have to be somewhere expensive. You could drive to the beach, or the park, or just drive. If you have to sacrifice a few lattes to fill the gas tank, so be it, but you won’t regret it later. This Easter, for instance, you have an opportunity to break the change. 67% of Americans only attend church on Easter and Christmas. If that’s the case with you, I dare

you to try something different this Easter. If you only go to church to check it off a list, try a new church this Easter. You may be surprised by what’s out there. If you don’t go to church at all, try something new. Easter’s about more than just a fluffy bunny, after all! This spring, this summer, try something new. Visit a teaching at Chautauqua Institution. Go for a boat ride on Lake Erie. Take a drive to visit all four ‘corners’ of the county. There is plenty here to offer, and you just have to take a step out to take advantage of it. Break out of that routine. I dare you! Scott Wise is the editor of the Chautauqua Star. Comments on this story of any other can be directed to scott.wise@star-mediagroup.com.

two-week sessions on Saturdays over the next three months, with journaling classes set to take place on Tuesday, April 22 in conjunction with SUNY Fredonia’s annual Earth Day programming and again on Saturday, July 19 as part of what is known as the “College Lodge Bio Blitz.” Each painting and journaling session will begin with a brief guided hike to help all of the participants understand the difference between what is defi ned as a “managed forest” (which is approximately 99 percent of all the land in Chautauqua County) and what is considered a “natural landscape.” In addition, the short hike will highlight the important role wildflowers play in the mature forest ecosystem. Participants will be asked to focus on different ephemerals as they are coming into bloom this spring, with the goal of recording those wildflowers and their extremely delicate habitats. Annear, who grew up in Alexandria, Virginia and has lived in Chautauqua County since 2000, is hopeful the classes represent a unique opportunity to embrace all that our region has to offer. “My real goal is to get people out into the woods and experience and appreciate the

beauty of nature,” said Annear. “We are all so busy with our lives that sometimes we simply overlook and do not take the time to spend some quality time in the woods.” While all of the painting classes are free and open to the public, each is limited to 10 people. A session of painting classes, which will be held rain or shine, will be held on Saturday, May 3 and Saturday, May 10 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., while another second session of painting classes will be held on Saturday, June 7 and Saturday, June 14 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. The journaling classes are also free and open to the public but each is limited to 20 people. The fi rst session will take place on Tuesday, April 22 from 10 a.m. to noon and the second session will take place on Saturday, July 19 from 10 a.m. to noon. The classes are funded through the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Program, which is administered by the Cattaraugus County Arts Council.

Spread either pudding or whipped cream along the bottom of your trifle bowl. The rest of your trifle can be arranged however you like, but this layer is important if you don’t want any gaps in your trifle. Another trick is to put whipped cream on top of cake layers instead of pudding. Through trial and error I have noticed that the pudding is too runny and will drip in between the cake pieces, but the whipped cream creates a barrier. Once your cake is cool, cut into small squares in the pan. When squares are cut, place on top of pudding in trifle bowl to create a second layer. Doesn’t that cake look cool? I was so excited by how the colors turned out. Continue to layer, putting your peeps on top and you’re done! Thanks for reading, and a very Happy Easter from our family to yours!

The Musical Journeys Program of the SUNY Fredonia School of Music concludes its eighth season of free concerts designed to appeal to very young children. Selected student ensembles from the Fredonia School of Music will perform half-hour Children's Concerts on four Saturday mornings with two performances (one at 10:30 a.m. and one at 11:30 am). The next concert will be held on Saturday, April 26 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 6-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 co-organizer. A guitar quartet will perform at the Apr. 26 concert. The musicians are Fredonia School of Music students Devon Kelly (Orchard Park, NY), Joshua Erb (Penn Yan, NY), Matthew Mazanek (Mastic Beach, NY), and Matthew Downey (Fredonia, NY).

"The Children's Concerts are enjoyable, child-appropriate 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 musi-

Chautauqua County is not immune to child abuse and neglect. The Child Protective Services Unit of the Chautauqua County Department of Health & Human Services investigated 2,357 State Central Registry (SCR) reports of suspected child abuse or neglect in 2013. “Child abuse unfairly strips children of their innocence, rips families apart, and compromises the health and wellbeing of children and families. It’s important to provide our children with the chance to succeed mentally, emotionally, and physically every day,” said Schuyler. “On the heels of the release of the County Health Rankings, I’m hopeful that the direct correlation that exists between child maltreatment and poor health outcomes can be seen. Abuse harms more than just an individual child’s chances for success—it harms all of us,” added Schuyler. HHS, along with Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), law enforcement, the Child Advocacy Program (CAP), and many other partners encourage all citizens to learn more

about the short and long term effects of child abuse and neglect on the child and on the community during April. One of the most effective ways to prevent child abuse and neglect from occurring is to ensure that all parents have the knowledge, skills, resources, and social support they need to provide safe, stable, nurturing environments for their children.

Pinwheels for Prevention

Pinwheels are a symbol of a happy, carefree childhood and the belief that getting it right for kids early is less costly than trying to fi x problems after things go wrong. Everyone has a role in preventing child abuse and supporting families. Individuals, businesses, schools, community organizations, volunteers, policy makers and families are also encouraged to get involved by planting their own pinwheel gardens. To learn more on how you can make a difference, contact the Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) at www.chautauquacasa. com or www.pinwheelsforprevention.org.

Chautauqua leadership network welcomes new Class of Community leaders Contributed Article CLN

Twenty six individuals representing businesses and organizations from throughout Chautauqua County gathered in Bellinger Hall on the grounds of Chautauqua Institution in February to complete a two-and-ahalf-day retreat designed to identify each person's leadership style, build new relationships with other community leaders and launch nine months of leadership development and community awareness opportunities. Now in its 22nd year, Chautauqua Leadership Network is a not-forprofit organization designed to identify, recruit, train and network area professionals. To date, approximately 500 county residents have participated in the program, which was founded to replenish an aging population of invested leaders by developing effective community leaders who will continue to address the challenges and opportunities facing Chautauqua County.

Members of Chautauqua Leadership Network’s Class of 2014 during their retreat weekend in February.

Class members, most of whom have been nominated by their employer to participate in the program, arrive at the retreat with little information about the weekend's activities. Through a series of hands-on activities, class members learn more about themselves and each other and begin a discussion of the values of the

different leadership styles and how and when those styles can be most effective. Led by facilitator Larry Robinson of Partners and Robinson of Williamsville, with the assistance of several Chautauqua Leadership Network alumni, the retreat follows a rigorous schedule of self-assessment, conversation, group presentations

and experiential activities. “The activities kept both our minds and bodies moving at all times,” said class member Ben Lindquist, executive director of Chautauqua Striders. “We were intellectually and creatively challenged to push beyond our comfort zone. I look forward to what the rest of the year brings.” Scott Nuccio of Integrated Benefit Solutions said, “I learned more about leadership in three short days at the retreat than I have in my entire working career.” Following its February retreat, the network's Class of 2014 was welcomed to the organization with a reception March 8 at Shaggy’s in Bemus Point. The group has now begun monthly sessions of mostly half-day workshops covering such topics as business and economic development, boardsmanship and ethics. The curriculum also includes group projects that allow class members to gain a broad knowledge of the assets of the Chautauqua County community. Continued on PAGe 12

ofﬁce For the Aging Provides Foreclosure outreach Assistance Contributed Article information and asOFA

The Chautauqua County Office for the Aging (OFA) is reaching out to seniors on the county tax foreclosure list to remind them of services and programs they may be eligible for that could help them save money, pay their taxes, and retain their homes. “There are a large number of people on the foreclosure list who may not realize there are resources available to help them keep their homes,” said Office for the Aging Director Dr. Mary Ann Spanos. “In an effort to aid individuals in accessing help before their homes go to auction, we are currently working on reaching out to them to make sure they are taking advantage of programs they may be eligible for.” Within the next few weeks a volunteer with the Chautauqua County Office for the Aging will call seniors on the tax foreclosure list to refer them to the NY Connects Helpline. NY Connects, which is housed in the Office for the Aging, is a statewide, locally based point of entry system that provides one stop access to free, objective and comprehensive information and assistance on long term services and supports. Its trained

sistance specialists will look into a person’s situation and talk to them about available assistance and services to help them reduce other bills so they can pay their taxes and keep their homes. Some services and programs that can save people money are: 1) Basic and Enhanced New York State School Tax Relief (STAR) Programs – These programs exempt some of the full value of a home from school taxes based on eligibility and can produce savings up to $1,500 per year depending on the school district. 2) Health Insurance Counseling and Assistance Program (HIICAP)- HIICAP counselors provide individuals with unbiased information about Medicare, Medigap, Medicare Advantage Programs, Medicare Prescription Drug Plans, Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage (EPIC), benefit programs, and other areas regarding health insurance coverage. They also help seniors compare health insurance plans and decrease co-pays and premium costs without reducing benefits, which allows seniors to save money. 3) Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP), Empower NY, and Other Utility Benefits- These as-

sistance programs can help income-eligible clients reduce their heating or utility bills. 4) Medicare Savings Plan- This is a program for qualifying low income seniors which will pay their Medicare Part B premiums. The Part B premium is automatically deducted from an individual’s Social Security check every month and is approximately $105. Consequently those who apply and are accepted in the program will see an increase in their social security check by over $1,300 per year. 5) Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Meals ProgramsSNAP, formerly known as Food Stamps, is available for eligible individuals and can be used like cash to purchase food at authorized retail food stores, Farmer’s Markets, or plants and seeds for a vegetable garden. SNAP benefits can be also used in lieu of a donation for senior congregate meals (including Senior Restaurant DiningOut Program tickets) and for the Meals on Wheels program. Seniors who have a home listed in foreclosure or would like to learn more about the above programs are encouraged to call the NY Connects Helpline at 753-4582, 6617582, 363-4582.

Habitat for Humanity

Before winter weather halted Habitat for Humanity construction in Mayville, volunteers succeeded in not only building the beginning of a new home, but also enclosed it so that the interior was protected from the wind and oncoming snow. After waiting for the frozen ground to thaw, Mike Ricketts, volunteer coordinator, has announced that work will proceed

Saturday, April 26, at the 7 Patterson Street site. Scheduled for the 9 a.m.–1 p.m. building are seven outside chores: finish furring strips on siding, dig post hole for retaining walls and set posts, grade patio and rear entry area and clean up wood piles. Inside will need begin-

ning gravel floor base, ceiling light boxes and wire to switch locations, etc., frame for light tubes and attic hatch, north/south walls, secure trusses and frame for sealing. There is always the need for workers – male and female – to help out whenever they can. It may be an hour or

four hours; every Saturday or once a month. And, don’t hesitate because you don’t think you have any building skills. Anyone can learn from those who are experienced in Habitat home building. For further information, contact Ricketts at 338-8864 (cell) or 753-7831 (home).

Today the Team has over 250 members. “We are one big happy family,” Dahl said. “When we started we didn’t realize that fitness would turn out to be such a big part of our social life. The benefits are immeasurable.” Members cover a wide range of sizes, ages and abilities. “Some of us ride in race mode and some of us ride to get ice cream.” He added with a smile. “At the end of a ride, we often relax and enjoy each other’s company.” Dahl is also the Wholesale Sales Manager for Johnson Estate Wines. “If we’ll be talking about the social benefits of fitness, we thought it would be fun to start that night,” Dahl added. “I’ll have samples of our most popular wines available for tasting. It should be a really fun evening!”

He said. Gustafson will be on hand to answer questions related to fitness and share some of his ideas to stay motivated. “To make fitness a part of our lifestyle, it needs to be fun,” he said. “It’s can’t just be about weight loss and eating healthy.” The Best of Times Seminar Series is sponsored by Edgewood Communities at Lutheran and is focused on providing information and support to help people plan well so they can age well.

Prior to planning any excavation projects this year, call 811, the toll-free national Call Before You Dig phone number, or visit www.call811. com.

It’s a fast, easy way to protect against or harming yourself or those around you. In New York, homeowners and contractors should call 811 at least 2, but no more than 10 business days, in advance of the start of their projects to allow time for requests to be processed. This does not include the date of the call. Once your project is underway, and in observance of the markings, you are required to stop using heavy equipment and hand dig within 2 feet of either side of the markings.

ALERT - NO-FAULT BENEFITS UNDER ATTACK

• If you have been injured in an auto accident, New York State Law requires the insurance carrier for the vehicle you were in to cover your related medical expenses and any lost wages (Insurance Law Section 5103).

• Recently, many insurance carriers are attempting to avoid this legal duty by paying biased doctors, often from outside the area, to support them in cutting off these important benefits.

CAMPBELL & SHELTON LLP has taken the following steps to protect our clients: • We will send an investigator to any suspicious exams and videotape the physician. • We will sue any insurance carrier who denies our clients their benefits without a valid basis (we recently obtained a judgment against Allstate for a client’s unpaid benefits, costs and interest). For these and many other reasons, if you are injured in an automobile accident you need experienced and capable legal representation as soon as possible.

‘Shape Of Things’ Concludes SUNY Fredonia Mainstage Series Contributed Article of Anne Frank.” SUNY Fredonia

The SUNY Fredonia Department of Theatre and Dance concludes its season with the modern drama “The Shape of Things” by American playwright Neil LaBute. Six performances are scheduled from April 25 to May 3 in Bartlett Theatre at Rockefeller Arts Center as part of the Walter Gloor Mainstage Series. Dates and times are April 25, 26 and May 1, 2 and 3 at 7:30 p.m. with a matinee on April 27 at 2 p.m. Directing the show will be Theatre and Dance faculty member Jessica Hillman, whose recent department productions include “The Sound of Music” and “The Diary

Hillman described “The Shape of Things” as a thought-provoking work with a dark side. “The Shape of Things” is set in a small university town and focuses on four students who become emotionally and romantically involved with each other. This leads to questions about the nature of art and the lengths to which people will go for love. “It’s exciting and has a quick pace,” Hillman said. “You really get to know the characters and you can feel for them. Audiences will come away with something to think about. One of the points of the play is to make you question some deeply held assumptions.” Born in Detroit, Mich.,

Adam (Kevin Stevens) and Evelyn (Danielle Izzo) debate the meaning of art in a scene from “The Shape of Things,” SUNY Fredonia Department of Theatre and Dance production that opens April 25 in Bartlett Theatre at Rockefeller Arts Center.

in 1963, LaBute is also a producer and director. His writing style has been described as “very language-oriented” with his works being “terse, rhythmic, and highly colloquial.” According to an article on LaBute posted on the IMDb web site, the playwright has “firmly established himself as an unforgiving judge of the ugliest side of human nature” with his representation of “true-to-life characters” and “all-tootrue social themes.” Hillman thinks “The Shape of Things” is a work that college students in particular will find interesting. “It raises questions about the meaning of art and how far one can go in service of their art,” she said.

Adding to the intimacy of the production is the fact it is set in Bartlett Theatre, which Rockefeller Arts Center’s smaller experimental, or “black box,” theater. “The student designers have done amazing things with the set,” Hillman said. “It’s a lot like an art installation – it’s visually exciting.” “The Shape of Things” is sponsored by M&T Bank as part of the Lake Shore Savings Season. This production contains adult themes and is recommended for mature audiences. Tickets are available through the SUNY Fredonia Ticket Office in the Williams Center, by phone at 673-3501 and online at fredonia. edu/tickets.

Keeping The Faith

The Weekly Word

the whole world became subject to sin (Romans 5:12). The Bible also tells us that sin disqualifies us from entering into God presence (Romans 3:23). God, not willing to loose His beloved creation, promised He would send a Redeemer to resolve the problem of sin (Genesis 3:15). This would allow for reuniting with His creation. If you examine the Bible, you will see that God promises to answer the need for the justification (to clear the debt) of mankind’s sinful state from the creation to the miraculous conception of the Lord Jesus Christ. The birth of the Jesus was the initiation of God’s promise. Jesus had to live a sinless life in order to qualify as the perfect sacrifice in God’s plan. Amazingly, when Jesus hung on the cross and His sinless blood poured out (Hebrews 9:14), He took upon Himself the penalty for every sin of mankind (2 Corinthians 5:17-21). This included every sin from man’s

Rejoicing in Our Redemption

Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org

Why is the resurrection of Jesus so important? With the celebration of Easter just around the corner, your question is very timely. While most people spend great effort to honor the birth of Jesus Christ, it is the Resurrection of Jesus Christ that is truly the most important event for all of mankind. Without the Resurrection, there would be no Christianity! Without the Resurrection, all creation would be forever separated from God’s presence and could not enter into Heaven. The Bible says that when man disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden,

first sin in the Garden of Eden to the last sin that will be committed just before the end of the world. At His death, Jesus suffered the full judgment of the world’s sins in our place (Matthew 12:40, Psalm 22). Even with His suffering and death, the plan for our redemption had not yet been fulfilled. It was only when Jesus Christ rose from the dead in order to reveal the truth of God’s power that divine justice was served and the Lord’s sacrifice met the conditions for the eternal redemption of mankind. The Resurrection is the fulfillment of God’s promise for redemption. It restores the possibility of reunion with the Father, gives us power over sin (Romans 8:2), and allows for an eternal, everlasting life in His presence (1 John 2:25). It is for this reason that Easter should be celebrated as the greatest single event in history.

on Him whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not HEARD? And how shall they HEAR without a preacher?" The word preacher here does not mean the person dressed real nice standing behind the pulpit Sunday morning in church. The word preacher here means "one who proclaims." God needs ones that will proclaim. He isn't only interested in your salvation but in the salvation of every human being. God needs walking and talking billboards for Christ. I have noticed that God blesses the lives of those that proclaim His goodness in Christ. Well think about it. Of course God makes investments in those that are willing to be advertisements for His Kingdom. Why would He invest in us if we stay quiet? Would you pay big money for a newspaper or radio ad and not have it seen or heard? You wouldn't waste your money! Don't you think God is at least as smart as we are? He is infinitely wise and He doesn't waste His blessings on those unwilling to speak for Him

HeAltH 23

smart living people began to think sugar should play such an important role in the way they start their day. There is no good reason breakfast has to be so sweet. Don’t be sucked in by what advertisers tell us we should want to eat to start our day, or by what restaurants have on their breakfast menus. Some current restaurant options are absolutely horrifying. Lately I’ve seen menus featuring options like huge stacks of chocolate chip pancakes drizzled with icing and covered in whipped cream. Don’t kid yourself. That’s not a reasonable breakfast. It’s dessert. Even the traditional American breakfast many of us grew up eating isn’t really the best option for most of us. A big plate of eggs, bacon or sausage, fried potatoes, toast and jelly with a glass of orange juice doesn’t really fit in all that well with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommendations. We’re supposed to be fi lling half of our plate with vegetables and fruits, so a tablespoon of jelly

doesn’t really count. We’d also be wise to avoid fried foods and fatty meats, opting instead for more healthfully prepared foods. There’s no rule that says we have to eat any of the foods people in America commonly associate with breakfast during our first meal of the day. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with reheating and eating a bowl of vegetable soup or a slice of pizza, or something else you enjoyed eating at an earlier meal. Those choices would probably be a lot better for you than a sugar packed breakfast treat. However, if breakfast means eggs to you, that’s okay too, just find a way to make them healthier. Instead of eating a fried egg and fried potatoes, you might want to consider eating more vegetable omelets or fritatas. There are a million wonderful recipes out there. Yogurt with fresh berries is also a great breakfast option. Whole grain cereals like oatmeal can be a great choice. If you want to add even

more fiber to your diet, sprinkle berries or sliced bananas on your cereal too, and replace that orange juice, which also contains a lot of naturally occurring sugar, with a fresh fruit salad. Or simply peel and eat an orange. It’s always better for you if you eat your fruit rather than drink it. Choosing one or more of those simple options can be very helpful if your weekday mornings are hectic. If everyone in your house seem to race through their food every morning or, worse yet, are so rushed that they skip breakfast all together, it’s time to sit everyone down during some other time of day to make a plan to fi x that. Maybe something as simple as going to bed a few minutes earlier will do the trick. Maybe not. The solution may be different for everyone in your home. If your children are old enough, put them in charge of their own breakfasts, or have them take turns preparing the meal for the whole family.

You might also set out everything needed to prepare the meal the night before, with the exception of foods needing refrigeration. You also want to make sure weekend breakfasts are special. Again, that doesn’t mean serving dessert for breakfast. There are plenty of healthy breakfast options to choose from. Try Greek yogurt, unusual fruits or tasty vegetables. Serve foods new to you or your family, like interesting whole grain cereals. I’m seeing all kinds of whole grains becoming more accessible in local grocery stores. Just remember when you’re shopping, read the ingredient labels. Breakfast doesn’t need to be sugar coated. Whatever we choose, we need to make sure everyone we love and care for has time to eat a decent breakfast. It can make all the difference between having a good or a bad day.

DunKiRK nATivE COnTinuES TO MAKE HER MARK AT ESPn

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

If you fl ip on ESPN Radio’s Mike & Mike in the Morning on the way to work, you’ll be listening to entertaining sports radio, but you’ll also be experiencing the hard work of Dunkirk native Rene Drozdziel. Drozdziel is currently the scheduling production coordinator II for ESPN Radio, meaning she schedules the personnel for radio shows such as Mike & Mike in the Morning; The Herd with Colin Cowherd; and SVP & Russillo, which is hosted by Scott Van Pelt and Ryen Russillo. Of course, those are only the biggest names and shows. It’s impossible to tell the story of Drozdziel without mentioning her two Emmys. Yes, that’s right, Emmys. While working in Sydney, Australia for the 2000 Summer Olympics, Drozdziel was awarded a Technical Sports Emmy. That wasn’t the first time she had garnered the honors as she already owned an Emmy of the same category from her work on the 1997 National Football League Draft. “I would say the Olympics were the project I’m most proud of,” Drozdziel said. “To be in Australia and

having the Olympics going on and to win an Emmy was really cool.” While her current job title would be envied by most in broadcast media, it was a long time coming for Drozdziel, who worked her way up the chain since graduating from Silver Creek High School in 1989. “I got an associate’s degree from Erie Community College and applied here at ESPN shortly after I graduated,” Drozdziel explained. “I got a job in technical operations. I did that for the first five years. All of those highlights you see on SportsCenter, that’s what we did. “Then I went freelance in 1997,” she continued. “I did a lot of remote production. I would travel to different

events — basketball games, hockey games, bowling, racing. I did the NASCAR circuit for a few years. Back then, TNN used to do all the NASCAR along with CBS. I did that with them for about three or four years. Then I did NASCAR with ESPN when the contracts switched over.” For most sports fans, working with the likes of Mike Greenburg, Mike Golic and Colin Cowherd on a daily basis would be reason enough to get out of bed. But Drozdziel recently got a chance to meet someone a little out of the ordinary — actor Kevin Costner. Costner is the star of such sports movies as Field of Dreams, Bull Durham, For Love of the Game, Tin Cup and the justopened Draft Day.

Drozdziel’s future plans might surprise. She’s not aiming to continue climbing the ladder at ESPN Radio. Nor is she looking to get back into the television production sector. “I do have a plan for the future but it doesn’t involve television,” she shared. “I’ve been studying to be a therapist for the past five years. I got involved with a group in my church. We did lay counseling. I found out I was pretty good at it and I enjoyed it. With working full time and having kids, it’s taken me a few years. I’m almost done and I’m very excited. “I’ve had so many people affect my career,” Drozdziel concluded. “Coming out here was huge. It really changed my life.”

get Outside And Do Something By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

As a celebration of Western New York fi nally getting some nice weather, I’m going to take a break from talking about baseball or ranting about the Bills or the Sabres. Continued on PG 27

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, APRIL 18, 2014

COMMEnTARy, COnTinuED fROM PAgE 24 Instead, I’m going to urge everyone to get outside and do something. Anything. Take this paper you’re reading right now and go sit in a park or on your front porch. In case you didn’t notice, we just had one of the longest, most brutally cold winters in recent memory. If you’re not itching to get some sunshine on your face, something is terribly wrong with you. So what can you do? I’m so glad you asked. If you’ve read my columns in the past, you know that I’ve recently fallen in love with the sport of golf. If you’re not a golfer, now’s a great time to start. If you’re anything like I was, you probably think of golf as a game for rich people and old retired men. That’s not true at all. Sure, getting a set of clubs can set you back, but you can also buy them used and save a considerable amount of money. If you’re able to, I highly recommend walking instead of riding in a cart. First off, you’ll obviously get more exercise that way. If you play a hilly

course like Cassadaga Country Club, your legs will defi nitely feel it by the time you’re putting your clubs back in your car. It’s an ache that tells you that you just burned some calories. The other thing I’ve found about walking a course is that you get to analyze your shots more. If you have a minute to walk up behind your shot you can get a feel for the firmness of the ground, the strength of the wind, the distance, etc. I truly feel it helps me play better. Walking and carrying my bag also keeps me looser, which helps my game as well. Plus I’m playing golf to enjoy the outdoors, too. I don’t exactly want to ride in a cart and be done in an hour. Let me take my time and take those two hours and enjoy the sun. It also gives you more time to walk and talk with your friends or family that you’re out there with. There are so many benefits to golfi ng. Try it out if you don’t already play. Another activity that I’m very much a fan of is cycling. In fact,

I certainly know people solely through pickup basketball games down at Wright Park in Dunkirk. Fast-pitch and slo-pitch softball leagues are also great ways to have some fun and be active during the summer. Leagues are always looking for more players. It’s another way to socialize as well. Something that I do personally that I most people would never think of (but should) Even President Obama (left) and John A. is pitching horseshoes.

enjoy being outside. Being the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star, I felt compelled to write about sports, but that’s not even what I should be getting at. All I want people to do is be outside and enjoy the weather. Lay in a hammock and read a book. Take your work outside to the picnic table. Drink your morning coffee on the front porch instead of in front of the TV. This is especially important if you have children. Don’t let your kids waste this Spring/ Summer on their GameBoys or Playstations. Sign them up for youth soccer or Little League. There’s a lot of fun to be had out there. Go get some.

Maybe. But you assuredly won’t get the kind of personable service and satisfaction guarantee that you’d get from guys like Ryan and Nolan Swanson at Pinehurst or Steve Wintersteen at Cassadaga Country Club. So onto the golf, shall we? Neither Bryan nor I had been to a driving range or indoor facility of any kind all winter. So that first tee box was the first time either of us had hit a golf ball in six months. Now that I’ve written that, it’s sinking in just how sad of a winter we just

had. Needless to say, I used my “I haven’t hit a ball in six months” mulligan after my first tee shot rolled about 50 yards. My second one, however, I would have been happy with mid-season. Granted, we had 25-30 mph wind gusts at our back, but still it was a nice, straight drive. I struggled mightily with the irons all day. I was making okay contact for the most part, I just couldn’t get the shot I wanted. When I had the wind at my back I couldn’t get the ball up into the air and when I was going into the wind I couldn’t get those nice low line drives. The first few iron shots were especially bad and it led to a bogey and a doublebogey on the first two holes, respectively. My luck (probably not skill) changed on No. 3. If you’re not familiar with Pinehurst GC, this is a really neat hole where your drive is over a creek and between two groves of trees. If you’re really good you can hit a bit of a draw to go around a slight dogleg left. My drive wasn’t great and left me in front of some trees, but without any leaves on the trees I had a pretty good look at it. I had to hit a very good iron shot and I actually did. I got it up and through the “uprights” of a tree and

got the ball within a few yards of the green. It was easily my best, and possibly only good iron shot of the day. Holes No. 4 and 5 were easily the highlight of my round. Both resulted in par, but neither was particularly pretty. No. 4 is the fi rst of two par 3’s on the course. My tee shot was embarrassing. There’s no two ways about it. I hit a dribbler that didn’t even go halfway to the green. Perhaps I was thinking too much about the vicious winds going right to left. So I still had to use a 9-iron with my second shot and aimed way to the right, hoping the wind would bring it back. Well, I hit it even further right than I aimed and it still got pushed all the way back to the left side of the green. It looked like a trick once it got up in that wind. My putt was absolutely perfect. It was probably 25 feet and breaking downhill and right pretty hard. I got the ball rolling, letting the downhill momentum do the work and it went right in. Honestly I probably couldn’t do it again in 10 tries but I hit it when it matters. No. 5 saw another amazing putt. A decent drive was followed by an okay long iron shot that left me just short of the green. Unfortunately my chip

attempt was pretty weak and left another 20-plus-foot putt. Obviously I’ve talked it up enough that you know I made the putt. I must say too, I had a pretty good fi st pump when that ball dropped in the cup. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to maintain any momentum from those two holes, fi nishing with a 6, 5, 7 and 7. On No. 9 I actually felt lucky to avoid the dreaded snowman. I hit not one, but two flubs from the fairway after a pretty good drive. When two shots travel a combined 30 feet, you’ve got problems. But chalk that up to having not playing in six months. The courses will continue to be wet over the next few weeks as it looks like the forecast will call for a normal, rainy Spring season, but get out there when you can. Even if you don’t have time to play nine holes, get out and hit some balls at the driving range. The range at Pinehurst is open and you can definitely work out some of the winter-induced kinks when simply hitting a bucket of balls.

The object of the game is to collect 15 victory points (VP). Points are awarded (mostly) by controlling bases. The base cards have a few numbers on them.

different special abilities. In the aforementioned 40-card deck, there are only two types of cards: actions and minions. On a player’s turn they get to play one action and one minion. It can be in any order and they don’t have to do either if they don’t want to or can’t. Minions are played at a specific base. Once the total strength of all the minions at a base reaches the break point, that base is scored. The first player to 15 points wins.

Overview

I bought Smash Up as more of a filler game. I expected it to be fast and light and fun. While the game is all of that, there’s also much more thinking and strategy than I expected. It really kept us all on the edge of our seats each of the times we’ve played. The factions each seem to have their own strengths and weaknesses. For instance, the robots are pretty weak, but have a lot of abilities that allow you to play more than one minion per turn. The dinosaurs are extremely powerful, but have very few action cards so they don’t have many tricks.

The ghosts have a couple game-changing action cards, but it’s sometimes difficult to reach their play conditions. Overall, I really enjoy Smash Up. Are there combinations that seemed far stronger than others? Sure, but that’s part of the fun. You have to work with what you’ve got. If someone is running away with a game, they’re probably going to get ganged up on. The game definitely seems balanced, which is rare for a game with factions like this.

To own or not to own? While I’m not sure the game is for everyone exactly, I think its humor combined with strategy will fit a wide audience. This is one the wife and kids could certainly enjoy, but can also be played with the guys. So bottom line is yes, I would recommend buying this game. Start with the base game and its eight starting factions. Or better yes, wait until August when the Big Geek Box is released. I believe that this box includes the base set, the expansions and an exclusive faction – the Geeks.

munities and help us build a toxic-free New York." DEC is targeting Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Niagara and Wyoming counties for this spring's CleanSweepNY efforts. The program is designed for entities such as agricultural and non-agricultural professional pesticide applicators, schools, golf courses, cemeteries and marinas. CleanSweepNY services are not available to homeowners. DEC rotates CleanSweepNY locations throughout the state. Last fall, DEC collected a record-breaking 138,000 pounds of chemicals from 11 counties in the Western Fin-

ger Lakes region. Since the program's inception in 2002, DEC collected and disposed of over 1.2 million pounds of chemical wastes, including more than 809 pounds of elemental mercury, and collected over 4,000 plastic pesticide containers for recycling that would otherwise have been disposed. CleanSweepNY is an Environmental Benefit Project administered in partnership with the Natural Heritage Trust (NHT) and was initially established with approximately $2.2 million from several enforcement settlements in DEC's pest management program. The

collections are organized by DEC in collaboration with state DOT, which provides collection sites. The program is supported by Cornell Cooperative Extension, the Agricultural Container Recycling Council, Soil and Water Conservation Districts, New York Farm Bureau and related grower associations. Participants will receive drop-off locations once they pre-register. Preregistration is required by April 25.

Another group competed Saturday at the ROC City Invitational held at Nazareth College.

Tim Murray's vision of rebuilding the Buffalo Sabres involves several things. And the rookie general manager doesn't expect it will take long to accomplish. Murray outlined his intentions Tuesday, two days after the Sabres closed one of the worst and most tumultuous seasons in their 44-year history. Murray was direct in calling the Sabres' last-place finish ''unacceptable.'' And he was blunt in laying the blame on everyone from management, to the coaching staff and on down to his players. ''A lot of nights it was hard to watch,'' Murray said. ''A lot of nights we competed hard and just didn't have enough talent to put us over the top. But other nights, it wasn't pretty.'' Murray also made a point of steering clear of using the word ''suffering'' as his predecessor, Darcy Regier, had used several times a year earlier. Regier, who was fired in November, was criticized for suggesting fans might have to suffer through a lengthy rebuilding process for a team hasn't won a playoff series since 2007. Murray interrupted a question at the mere mention of

this year or next year. The Sabres would land the Blues' first-round pick if St. Louis reaches the Western Conference final. On other issues, Murray called it ''a very good possibility'' that the Sabres will part ways with underperforming forward Ville Leino by buying out the three remaining years of his contract in June. A series of injuries and lack of consistency have led to Leino being a major disappointment in Buffalo since signing a six-year, $27-million contract three years ago. Buffalo Sabres head coach Ted Nolan and general manager Tim Murray listen to questions during the annual end of the season press conference on Tuesday, April 15, 2014, in Buffalo, N.Y. He's managed just 10 goals Regier and suffering. franchise record for losses. Sabres this season, after they and 46 points in 137 games with the Sabres. entered the night with the ''I wasn't here.

but it's kind of what we thought would happen, and we prepared for it.'' The Sabres were guaranteed falling no further than second. Florida will have the first pick for the fourth time in franchise history. The Panthers are gradually rebuilding. They made a splash this year by acquiring goalie Roberto Luongo in a trade with Vancouver. And they'll be picking third or better for the fourth time in five years. Their previous top three picks - defenseman Erik Gudbranson (in 2010), wing Jonathan Huberdeau (2011) and center Aleksander Barkov (2013) - all played significant roles this season. ''We're anxious to put a winner in Florida,'' Viola said. The Panthers' move up marked the fourth straight year in which the last-place team failed to win the lottery. Since the NHL lottery system was introduced in 1995, the last-place team has earned the No. 1 pick only

six times. The Panthers had the No. 1 pick in the 2002 and 2003 drafts, but traded them away both times. They also had the No. 1 pick in 1994, when they selected defenseman Ed Jovanovski. The remaining 11 teams maintained their draft order based on the final standings, starting with the Edmonton Oilers staying with the No. 3 draft pick. Calgary will select fourth followed by the New York Islanders. The top 10 picks are rounded out by Vancouver picking sixth, followed by Carolina, Toronto, Winnipeg and Anaheim. The Pacific Division champion Ducks earned a lottery spot by acquiring a first-round pick in a trade with Ottawa, which finished 21st. The New Jersey Devils, who finished 20th, were included in the lottery to maintain the weighted odds, but were not eligible to be selected. The Devils are already slotted to pick 30th after being

sanctioned by the NHL. The league ruled New Jersey circumvented the collective bargaining agreement by attempting to skirt the salary cap by signing Ilya Kovalchuk to a 17-year, $102 million contract in 2010. Center Sam Reinhart (WHL Kootenay) and left wing Leon Draisaitl (WHL Prince Albert) were ranked third and fourth among North American skaters, while the top-ranked European skater is Finnish right wing Kasperi Kapanen. The Sabres actually have a shot at holding three firstround picks based on two trades they made this year. The Islanders have to until June 1 to decide whether to hand over their first-round selection to Buffalo this year or next year. Islanders head amateur scout Trent Klatt said the team has not yet determined its plans. The Sabres will also acquire the Blues' first-round pick should St. Louis reach the Western Conference finals.

Harvick Marks Himself A Contender With Win

By Pete Iacobelli AP Sports Writer

Kevin Harvick knew his first-year Stewart-Haas Racing team was better than it had shown the past few weeks. After taking the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway on Saturday night, Harvick is convinced the group has exactly what it takes to win a Sprint Cup championship. ''I'm excited about it and I think that's why everybody on this team came here,'' Harvick said. ''We came here to race for wins, to be in a position to contend for a championship. I really feel like everybody on this team feels like we bettered ourselves by coming together.'' They took a major step to proving that with Harvick's first victory in 18 races at the track ''Too Tough To Tame.'' It made Harvick the first this season with two victories - and a lock for the season-ending, 16-team Chase for a Sprint Cup championship. The victory also ended a maddening slump where Harvick had finishes of 41st, 39th, 36th, seventh and 42nd in the races since the team's breakthrough win at Phoenix last month. Harvick said such a stretch might've devastated a lesser team - he pointed to the chaos that's been the NBA's Indiana Pacers in recent weeks - but thought his crew kept each other's spirits up through the down times. The team had a near flawless performance at Darlington, capturing Harvick's first-ever pole here before his dominating performance (he led 238 of 374 laps) that was capped when he passed Dale Earnhardt Jr. on the

On the Sprint Cup side, 21-year-old Kyle Larson made it through a harrowing weekend where he struck the wall in practice - twice - and had to use a backup car. Still, he wound up eighth, an impressive run at a track that typically chews up and spits out untested drivers. GOOD ON YA, GORDON: Jeff Gordon still doesn't have a victory this season but again showed why the four-time series champion is on a major roll. His No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports car had another top 10 (he was seventh), his sixth in eight races this year. Keep this up and Gordon may not need a win to get him into the chase, assuming there are 15 or Chase Elliott climbs from his car after a NASCAR auto race practice at the fewer winners this season.
