Month of the Young Child Investing in the Future

By Patricia Pihl Editor

At the Chautauqua Lake Child Care Center in Mayville, children are busy learning the way children learn best through doing. Whether playing at a water table, making a colorful dough-like substance to shape with their hands, growing seeds or stacking blocks, educators of small children agree these types of activities, as well as meaningful interactions with caregivers, are important to their growth and development. Throughout April, the Chautauqua County Association for the Education of Small Children,(CCAEYC) in conjunction with the Chautauqua Lake Child Care Center (CLCCC) will host county wide activities for children and their families. The purpose, according to CLCCC Executive Director Elizabeth Stark is two fold: to promote community awareness of the importance of early childhood education and to focus on the important role of caregivers and teachers. The month-long activities are part of a national “Week of the Young Child” initiative, and point to the need for quality child care locally. According to the 2011 Community Needs Assessment (Chautauqua Opportunities Inc.) there are over 7,000 children in Chautauqua County with both parents, or a single parent in the workforce. According to Stark, “CLCCC provides the ability for 150 families

to go to work and school...and to be comfortable knowing that their children are happy and secure and comfortable.”

Stark adds “When you look at the long-term benefits, if a child has the right foundation they are more likely to read at a higher level by second grade and more likely to graduate

from high school and be more productive in society.”

BPUMC to Present ‘ The Gospel of John’ Contributed article BPUMC

Bemus Point United Methodist Church is pleased to bring The Gospel of John with Brad Sherrill to the church on Friday, May 11 at 7 p.m. This one-person, live performance of the New Testament gospel in its entirety is free with tickets available at BPUMC on Sundays following each worship service, in the office from 8 a.m.- 4p.m. Monday-Friday, and by calling the church at 716-386-3401. It took Atlanta-based actor Brad Sherrill four months to commit the entire gospel of John to memory. Since its premiere in 2000, The Gospel of John has been performed over 500 times in churches, cathedrals and professional theaters across the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Ireland, including a six-week theatrical run off-Broadway at New York City’s historic Lamb’s Theatre, and at other professional theaters in Chicago, Washington D.C., Toronto and Atlanta. The Gospel of John’s European cathedral tours during 2007 and 2008 brought the performance to large, historic cathedrals of the U.K., Ireland and Northern Ireland including Westminster Cathedral (London), Lincoln, Gloucester and Lichfield Cathedrals (U.K.), Christ Church Cathedral (Dublin) and St. Peter’s

Atlanta-based actor Brad Sherrill brings ‘The Gospel of John’ to Bemus Point United Methodist Church on Friday, May 11.

Cathedral (Belfast.) Other performances have included the U.S. Naval Academy (Annapolis) and numerous colleges such as Yale, American and Catholic Universities. The Gospel of John has now touched the hearts of

over 150,000 people worldwide. When asked why study the Gospel of John, Brad Sherrill writes, “since memorizing the nearly 20,000 words which comprise the fourth gospel,

this has been the one question most frequently asked of me. I can only respond as other believers have by stating that John’s Gospel is nourishment for the mind, heart and soul. Christ communicates with a directness, passion and authority which speaks not only to the body of believers but to each of us as individuals.” Brad has acted professionally in Atlanta since 1983. He was selected by Atlanta Magazine in 2000 as Atlanta’s Best Dramatic Actor and by Creative Loafing (another Atlanta publication) in 2001 as Atlanta’s Best Actor. He has performed in over 20 productions at Atlanta’s Alliance Theatre and is an Artistic Associate for the Georgia Shakespeare Theatre where he has acted in 45 productions over 22 seasons. In addition, he has performed over the years at every professional theater in Atlanta including Actor’s Express, Horizon Theater, Theater Emory, Theatre in the Square, Theatrical Outfit and Georgia Ensemble Theatre. For more information and tickets for the Gospel of John, call the BPUMC church office or visit the church at 4954 Bemus-Ellery Road, Bemus Point. The church is located just ¼ mile off I-86 at Exit 10 and offers worship services at 8:30 a.m.,10 a.m., and 11:00 a.m. on Sundays.

Commentary

Tourist versus Traveler people flock to the ocean. This short vacation was a welcome break but brought the whole “tourist versus traveler” debate back to mind as I passed endless beach apparel stores and seedy hotels sprinkled among the high rises and neon lights. Was this Atlantic City, Ocean City, Myrtle Beach or Daytona? It was hard to say at first glance. Before we prejudge either position of this “debate,” I thought it would be useful to look at the examples below to see where we each might best fit. It is said that… “Tourists” are the ones who

Commentary

Our family packed up last week and traveled to the Maryland coast for sun, surf and all the other reasons

Let’s not jump to any conclusions. I suppose there’s some truth that people seek out the familiar, e.g. McDonald’s, while boasting their travel experience as an adventure. The record will show that this tourist sought out Starbucks. A visit to Assateague Island with its unspoiled shoreline, sand dunes and wild horses would certainly be a reprieve from the trappings of all things tourist, or so I thought. The barrier island was saved from commercialism by Mother Nature herself when a five-high storm in 1962 wreaked complete devastation of the island and the devel-

wear fanny packs and Aloha shirts. They’re the ones piling out of big buses to strike stupid poses in front of all the tourist sites. They are the ones eating at McDonald’s because they’re afraid of “weird” food. They are the close-minded ones worthy of ridicule. Whereas… “Travelers” are the ones who tote backpacks and only three pairs of underwear around the world. They use local transportation and thrive on living in hostel dorm rooms. They eat at street stalls and interact with locals as much as possible. They are the adventurous ones worthy of envy.

The Audubon Center and Sanctuary is offering a Pocket Garden Journal Workshop where you can create a unique gift, for yourself or for someone in your life who loves to garden On Thursday, April 26, from 6 to 9 p.m. artist Debra Eck will teach how to make a small book that has built-in pockets for seed packets and fold-out pages for a garden plan. Participants are welcome to bring packets of seeds to put in the book pockets. They will leave the workshop with a completed journal and an instruction sheet so more journals can be made at home. Once you learn this book-making technique you can adapt it to any number of uses. Keep a log of room renovations and put the receipts in the pockets. Make a wine journal to record your favorites and the ones

to avoid; put the labels in the pockets. Create a pocket book to hold your recipes. Make a scrapbook of the plays and movies you’ve seen; store the tickets, programs and reviews in the pockets. Instructor Debra Eck is a British artist who lives and works in Western New York. She teaches at Jamestown Community College and Infinity Visual and Performing Arts and serves as a mentor to participants in the Cattaraugus County Arts Council SAVI (Seneca Arts Virtual Incubator) program that teaches the business of being an artist. Her

collage, installation and book art work has been shown throughout our region, as well as internationally. Eck holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the University of Buffalo and a Master’s in Visual Culture from Northumbria University in Newcastle, United Kingdom. Children age nine and up are welcome if accompanied by a paying adult. Cost for the workshop, including materials for making one pocket journal, is $20 for members, $23/non-member; children pay the same prices as adults.

Stark also points to data which shows that every dollar invested in quality early care and learning generates $1.86 in additional spending in New York State, creating jobs and supporting local economies. Studies show that every dollar spend on high quality early education save $7 over time: in school remediation, healthcare, welfare, unemployment, incarceration and other taxpayer costs. Stark says that CLCCC surpasses requirements by New York State which mandate head teachers to hold an associates degree or an early childhood certificate. “We require that of our assistants and our teachers have at least a bachelors; most of them have their masters, which is the same education as teachers in public schools. Important, she says, because “it indicates a higher quality of care.” Stark says the Center’s staff are intentional about the types of activities they plan and

document it in a portfolio which is compiled for each child. In addition, displays on the center’s halls demonstrate to parents and community what the children are learning through their play. Month of the Young Child activities will include story hours for children at community libraries and family fun nights at the Mayville and Falconer Child Care Centers. Families and community members are invited to come and participate in games and activities in each of the classrooms. According to Stark, “It’s a chance for the parents to experience some of the things their children do throughout the day.” In addition, local businesses will be decorating in celebration.

Along with the local flavor, Rocco also served up attitude and his philosophy on many things including the importance of living large, (explaining how his grandfather took a big bite of a pastrami and mixed meat sandwich at 92 just before dying a satisfied man). Priceless information and you can’t find that in a visitor’s guide. As for the debate, whether tourist or traveler, one thing that can be agreed upon is that it still feels good to get home and lay your head on your own pillow.

However, tourists were ever present and some were even willing to tempt fate by taking photos close to the horses, despite warnings of possible bites and attack. Mingling among the locals?

In 1961, Fisher-Price launched a nursery school to observe children playing with toys, which is now known as the Play Lab. It was the first of its kind in the toy industry. To this day, the Fisher-Price Play Lab, located in East Aurora, New York, is the only facility in the world solely devoted to researching the relationship between childhood

development and play with toys, involving children from one week old through six years old. It is considered the “heart” of product development for Fisher-Price. Children involved with the testing typically come from areas within an hour’s drive of Fisher-Price. There are separate play sessions for infants, toddlers and pre-schoolers. Dr Kathleen Alfano, Senior Director of the Play Lab, says “children are the most honest

critics! If they don’t like a toy, they won’t play with it! They’ll push it away or ignore it. Even babies make their feelings very obvious. Through the observation of children at play we are able to learn more about how children think, what is important to them and what they like.” Everyone takes their “work” seriously. And, of course, they have lots of fun in the process!

NCCF Celebrates Environmental Fund Community Impact Contributed Article Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation

During Earth Week 2012 more than one billion people around the globe will be acknowledging community environmental initiatives. The Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation (NCCF) will be celebrating the accomplishments they have made through their Environmental Grants Program. This program is made possible through the Northern Chautauqua Environmental Fund, a permanent endowment fund. The fund was created from local contributions and matched by the Great Lakes Protection Fund, Joyce Fund and Charles S. Mott Fund through the Great Lakes Environmental Collaborative Project. The first grants awarded in 1999 totaled $1,951 and most notably assisted in the expansion of the Jamestown Audubon Center’s programming to Dunkirk, Ripley and Brocton schools. In addition, grants enabled students to attend the Great Lakes Student Summit and replaced a boat used for lake research through the SUNY College Environmental Research Program. Since the Environmental Fund’s inception in 1999, small grants have been provided for a broad range of educational

activities, including events and hands on educational experiences focusing on Lake Erie and its watershed. These initiatives have totaled over $18,000. Grants have included: the purchase of testing and field supplies to help area high school students monitor several local streams and littoral drift in the Dunkirk harbor; binocular purchase for middle school students to monitor bluebird houses and band monarch butterflies; purchase of GPS equipment and dissolved Oxygen Meter for stream monitoring and assessment; high school student beach grass plug project used to stabilize the sand and stop wind erosion at Point Gratiot. The Environmental Fund has also provided: assistance to the Lake Erie Salmon and Trout Association’s penrearing project in the Dunkirk harbor; repairs to nature trails and the establishment of a native plant demonstration garden at Camp Gross; repairs an existing dam to restore pond surface area and handicapped access to the pond at the SUNY Fredonia College

Lodge. The fund has also supported student attendance and transportation to Science Exploration Days, Great Lakes Student Summits, Chautauqua County Soil and Water Conservation District Envirothons, JAKES Youth Conservation Field Days, the Lew Mead Memorial Youth Fishing Tournament, SAREP Youth Fly Fishing Program and other related environmental studies projects. Over the years, the NCCF has experienced an increase in grant requests to the Environmental Fund. For that reason, the NCCF is encouraging community support of the Environmental Fund’s permanent endowment. The goal of the NCCF is to be able to increase its commitment to local environmental initiatives resulting in an even greater impact in the future. For more information on how to support the Environmental Fund and learn about environmental grant opportunities, please visit the NCCF website at www.nccfoundation.org or phone 716-3664892.

Keeping the Faith

Discovering the Dross in You

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church of the Southern Tier

Character flaws are easily hidden when things are going smoothly. But when circumstances intensify and life begins to turn up the heat, that’s when you discover your true knowledge of God. Godliness and faith are the result of forgoing the opportunity to be desperate and disappointed. Holiness is the product of choosing God over every feeling in your body. Will you continue to believe when every emotion in your being is telling you not to? Heat and pressure will unveil faith or failure. Proverbs 25:4 says, “Take away the DROSS from the silver and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.” So what is dross you wonder? Dross is any impurity that is discovered in a metal when it is molten. After the metal is exposed to extreme heat, the dross will float to the top where the refiner can then skim the impurities off the top and produce a greater product. This is an illustration of our lives and we despise the truth that we learn here: Fire is

needed. Not only is fire needed it is required to bring forth a greater vessel. It’s amazing to me that we typically resent the circumstances that are making us great. Greatness is discovered in the fire. But the fire doesn’t reveal the dross for the sake of keeping it. The dross is revealed so that the impurities can be removed. Once the dross is removed the fire can be quenched, at least for a time and a great valuable vessel is the result. But many of God’s people are not skillful in the test. The dross is discovered and then it remains. No change is made. So what happens? The fire continues until the test is passed. God is not the one making the fire hotter. God never opposes you. (Rom 8:31) However, as long as the impurities remain, the vessel will “feel” the effects of the fire more than he who has allowed himself to be purified. All of us will face the same trials. But those who have removed the dross will feel the effects less. What is your dross? Remember: Dross is the impurities that come to the surface when heat and pressure are applied. Some people start to become

bitter and mean when they have less money than they once had. Maybe they lose their job and the financial pressure gives way to emotional abuse towards their spouse and children. That’s dross. Or maybe their marriage isn’t going the best and they start to look for other means to please themselves sexually. They start to criticize their spouse and say hurtful things. That’s dross. Sometimes people start to worry about a pain in their body. Thoughts bombard their mind and they become convinced they have something bad before they even see a doctor. That worry is making things worse. It came to the surface. It’s dross. I’ve even seen people get grumpy if they are hungry! That’s dross. You must learn to skim it off the top and gain victory. Come forth as a vessel for the finer! This is where faith is forged. This is where you say, “He is my refuge, my fortress, my God in Whom I trust!” (Ps 91:2) Remove the negativity. Resist the temptation to be mean. Dig into God’s Word and pass through the flames and stop living in them.

Dear Pastor, I am a new believer and want to start attending a church. What should I look for?

By Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church of Chautauqua County

I want to commend you for your decision to start attending church. The Bible says that it is the will of God that we are part of a local body of believers (Hebrews 10:25). One of the most important things to look for is a church that has sound doctrine (2 Timothy 4:3). Doctrine is another word for teaching or beliefs. You want to make sure that the church you are con-

sidering is stable and based on Biblical truths. One way to do this is to ask a potential church for their core beliefs or a written Statement of Faith. There are a few basic Biblical truths that should be in the Statement of Faith. First, that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. Second, that God was and is forever eternal and that Jesus Christ is His begotten Son who existed with Him from the beginning. Third, that they believe that salvation comes only though faith in the redemptive work of Jesus and not by the good works of men. Fourth, that people are eternal beings and will either experience heaven or hell upon physical death. While the church may word these beliefs differently than I have, it is important that they be in agreement with these fundamental truths. If they are not, I would highly recommend that you continue your search. A second thing to look for is the amount of love you expe-

rience in a church. Jesus said in the Gospel of John 13:35, “By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.” Love, hospitality, and genuine caring are a great indicator that you have found a good church to attend. Another thing to look for is the type of services that they offer. If you have children, it is important that the church have a strong youth and children’s ministry or services catering to their developmental level. A safe, loving nursery is also a great asset if your children are very small. It’s important that the church minister to every member of your family. Above all, please trust that God knows what your needs are. Pray and ask God for His guidance and He will direct you to the church that is just right for you!

SENIOR SECTION Sinclairville 76ers Site Manager Retires Contributed Article JS Sipos

The Sinclairville 76ers is the meals on wheels program for the Cassadaga Valley area. Meals are delivered on three different routes in three vans by volunteers on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Based in the Sinclairville Firehall kitchen and dining room, meals are prepared and packaged for delivery and kept hot in special heater boxes connected to each van’s electrical system. The 76ers program began in the Sinclairville area in 1976 to organize senior housing and added the meals on wheels program five years later. Meals have been delivered for more than 30 years into Cherry Creek, Conewango Valley, Ellington, Stockton, Sinclairville, Cassadaga and Centralia areas. The meals on wheels program is a part of the Chautauqua County Office for the Aging. Richard Smith of Sinclairville is the president of the organization. The program serves the same meal on the same

days of the week at the firehall dining room. For those attending at the dining room, site manager Paul Derkovitz, assisted by his wife Sandy Derkovitz have welcomed people, and held programs of interest. After serving as the site manager, Mr. and Mrs. Derkovitz retired, with new site manager Elsie Livermore taking charge, and assisted by Patti France, who also serves as the site social worker. In the special retirement reception, more than 50 people attended to thank the Derkovitz’s for their service. The Derkovitzs will be remembered for welcoming the people to attend, and for the humor and good times with the programs.

“There are three nights of performances,” said Terreberry. “One night is for Hospice. The next night is for the Zonta Club of Jamestown. They give scholarships to women, so that’s for their scholarship fund. Then the last night is for The Spire, which is the theatre we are doing the show in. They are just getting started, so all the proceeds that last night will help them. That’s what we want to do. We want to raise money for different groups.” Tuesdays with Morrie is showing May 10-12 at The Spire.

SUNY Fredonia SIFE Team Wins New York City Regional Competition Contributed Article SUNY Fredonia

SUNY Fredonia’s Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) team was named a regional champion by SIFE USA after winning its league at the Regional Competition, held April 11 in New York City. As a result, it will advance to the SIFE National Championship, which takes place May 22-24 in Kansas City, Mo. Fredonia’s eight-member team bested six other private and public universities in winning its league, one of seven such groupings that together comprised nearly 40 institutions — many which far exceed Fredonia in enrollment size and name recognition — competing from 10 states. The annual competition is hosted and sponsored by SIFE USA, which works with leaders in business and higher education to mobilize university students to make a difference in their communities while developing their skills to become socially responsible business leaders. Participating students form teams on their campus and apply business concepts to develop outreach projects that improve the quality of life and standard of living for people in need. Through the SIFE USA Regional Competitions and USA National Competition, teams are provided a forum to present the results of their projects, and to be evaluated by business leaders serving as judges.

The Manhattan victory marks a return to the top for Fredonia’s vaunted SIFE team, which had earned a staggering 13 consecutive regional championships at its Cleveland and New York City regional competitions through 2010, before slipping to a fifth-place finish last year. “I am especially proud of this group, as they went from fifth to first in just one year,” said School of Business Professor Donald Barnes, the team’s faculty advisor. “I am also really proud of the team because New York City is considered one of the toughest regionals.” Dr. Barnes added that feedback from one of the judges indicated that SUNY Fredonia was a unanimous winner in its league, with many judges giving the team a perfect score. This year’s competing team members included Emily Bird (president), Stephany Zambito (vice president), Justen Floss, Shannan Keefe, Chris Schilling, Clair Wisniewski, Heather Wohaska and Nate Zager. Other team members who were paramount in supporting the presentation team, included Jordan Bernstein, Charlie Callahan, William Fuller, Marissa Imiola, Raul Lopez, Sharon Malfesi, Ashley Post, Matt Rockow, Kristen Schoenbeck, Elise Wilkin, Kemoy Wright and Brian Ziolo.

Beyond Drowsy, Too Little Sleep Ups Diabetes Risk Lauran Neergaard AP

More people pull the night shift. Teens text past midnight and stumble to class at dawn. Travelers pack red-eye flights. Nodding off behind the wheel isn’t the only threat from a lack of shut-eye. There’s growing evidence that people who regularly sleep too little and at the wrong time suffer longlasting consequences that a nap won’t cure: An increased risk of diabetes, heart disease and other health problems. “We have a societal conspiracy for sleep deprivation,” says Russell Sanna of Harvard Medical School’s sleep medicine division, who attended a TEDMED conference last week where scientists called sleep loss one of health care’s big challenges. Just how unhealthy is it? Consider how sleep may play a role in the nation’s diabetes epidemic.

Studies have long shown that people who sleep fewer than five hours a night have an increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, the kind that tends to strike later in life. Rotating shift work -three or more night shifts a month interspersed with day or evening hours - raises the risk, too, says a recent report from researchers who analyzed years of medical records from the huge Nurses’ Health Study. Diet and physical activity are big factors in Type 2 diabetes. Certainly it’s harder to work out or choose an apple over a doughnut when you’re tired, especially at 3 a.m. when your body’s internal clock knows you should be sleeping. But a study published last week shows sleep plays a more complex role than that. As sleep drops and normal biological rhythms are disrupted, your body physically changes in ways that can help set the stage for diabetes, reports neuroscientist Orfeu Buxton of

Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Buxton’s team had 21 healthy volunteers spend almost six weeks living in a laboratory where their diet, physical activity, sleep and even the light was strictly controlled. The volunteers started out wellrested. But for three of those weeks, they were allowed only about 51/2 hours of sleep every 24 hours at varying times of the day or night, to mimic a bad shift rotation or prolonged jet lag. That knocked out of whack the body’s “circadian rhythm,” a master biological clock that regulates such patterns as when we become sleepy and how body temperature rises and falls. What happened was startling: Blood sugar levels increased after meals, sometimes to prediabetic levels, because the pancreas stopped secreting enough insulin, Buxton reported in the journal Science Translational Medicine.

At the same time, the volunteers’ metabolic rate slowed by 8 percent. The researchers had them on a diet so they didn’t gain weight _ but Buxton says typically, a metabolism drop of that size could mean gaining 10 to 12 pounds over a year. The results make sense, says Dr. Michael Thorpy, sleep center director at New York’s Montefiore Medical Center and a neurology professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. “If we’re going to spend a third of our day sleeping, there’s got to be a good reason for it,’’ says Thorpy, who notes that diabetes is far from the only worry. Up to 70 million Americans are estimated to suffer from chronic problems with sleep, from insomnia to sleep apnea. Impaired sleep has been linked to high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, depression, memory impairment and a weakened immune system. Still another concern: The World Health Organization has classified night shift work as a

probable carcinogen, because too much light at night may hamper a hormone involved both with sleep and suppressing tumor cells. Don’t people adjust to the night shift if they’re on it long enough? Buxton says rotating shifts probably are most worrisome. In his study, the volunteers’ bodies went back to normal after nine nights of sufficient sleep at the right time. No one knows how long it takes before sleep deprivation and an off-kilter biological clock may cause permanent damage. Montefiore’s Thorpy says natural night owls seem to adapt better to night shifts, but that people never fully adapt if they swing back to daytime schedules on their days off. Also, about 30 percent of regular night workers have trouble sleeping during their off hours or are particularly fatigued, he says, something termed “shift work disorder.” The consumer message:

WOMEN’S SECTION

The National Institutes of Health says adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep daily for good health. If you work nights, go straight to bed when you get home, Buxton advises. Avoid too much light along the way. Thorpy says wearing yellow- or orange-tinted sunglasses on the drive home can block shortwavelength ``blue light’’ that triggers wakefulness. Let natural light help keep your biological sleep clock on schedule, advises Harvard’s sleepeducation Web site. For most people, sunlight in the morning is key. For the night shift, more bright light in the evening shifts people’s internal clock, Buxton explains. For anyone, a sleep-inducing bedroom is one that’s dark, quiet and cool. Avoid caffeine, alcohol and stressful situations near bedtime. Electronics right before bed aren’t advised, either. Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day also helps.

Scrapbooking Today

Anne Walterich Contributing Writer

There are few things that spark irrational torrents of rage in me than “Real Simple” magazine and its lookalike friends. The beautiful photographs of uncluttered domestic tranquility in a Pottery Barn - catalog perfect universe nauseate me. Martha Stewart’s empire of perfection in all areas leaves me feeling inadequate and depressed. So, of course I aspire to attain that kind of organization and simplicity in my own home. I’ve been focusing on other areas of my crafting life and letting my scrapbooking slide the past few weeks as I try to make over our home into the kind of calming, welcoming, easy-to-clean sanctuary with artfully-arranged throw pillows and fresh bread in the oven. The first attainable goal was baking bread, so I decided to start there. Jim has been making a no-knead bread

recipe clipped from the newspaper for a few years now, and it’s easy (and forgiving!) enough that even I can make it without too much trouble. He has the recipe memorized, but I still had to reference the original. Digging through my overcrowded, unorganized recipe binder, I finally found the yellowed, grease-stained original. The proverbial light bulb went off above my head. I could achieve gold-medal worthy homemaking bliss by organizing the recipe binder and yet scrapbook while doing it. Inspired by Ree Drummond’s (thepioneerwoman.com) website with its step-by-step food photography, I decided to give our worn-out recipe a digital makeover. After trying out pictures for every stage of baking the bread on a layout, I decided that since this bread is almost TOO simple, they weren’t really necessary, and only one focal-point photo was needed. First, I created a new 8.5” X 11” layout in Photoshop. I

added my digital background paper (source unknown) and a rounded-corner rectangle on another layer with the shape tool. Next, I selected the shape layer, chose “Load Selection” from the menu, opened another window with my bread photo, chose “Select All,” went back to the first window and selected “Paste Into” for my delicious-looking picture. Then came the “Ingredients,” “Directions” and “Made With Love” graphics from the Shabby Princess “Holiday Recipe” kit (FREE, shabbyprincess.com). I added the title and text boxes, and finally cut-and-paste the recipe itself from the NY Times website (http://www. nytimes.com/2006/11/08/ dining/081mrex.html). (Try it! So delicious!) The printed copy went into an ordinary 8.5” X 11” page protector and into the binder, where it’s definitely my best-

looking and tastiest entry. In a magazine-quality world, I would carefully bake and photograph every recipe I have, writing every step by hand, and create a page for each one. Clearly, that won’t happen, but I’ll try to do it for more of my go-to favorites. Cookbooks and recipe cards are often handed down to younger generations, and I can’t think of a better gift

than photos of a loved one making the foods to accompany the instructions. In the meantime, since I don’t want those treasured cards in my aunt’s and grandmother’s handwriting to get destroyed as I try to replicate their delicious culinary heirlooms, I made my own protectors based on the Becky Higgins Project : Life system. I took ordinary page protectors and used my sewing machine to create individual pockets customized to each recipe, cutting a slit with my craft knife for easy removal. This way, I can fit three or four to each page, taking up less space in my binder and protecting them from my cooking catastrophes. It’s easy, inexpensive, and inspiring. Though the rest of my life doesn’t resemble a magazine page or a lifestyle blog, this

recipe binder is at least on the path toward the shiny, organized, homemade perfection I’m trying to attain. I’ll contemplate it over a warm slice of homemade bread, and appreciate the chaos I live in. It’s not always pretty, but it’s home. This week’s pick: El Azteca Cantina, 3953 Vineyard Drive, Dunkirk, 716-3630300, http://elaztecamex.com. Jim and I had lunch here a few weeks ago, and the food was as delicious as any Mexican fare we had out in Arizona. I recommend the “A” option under the vegetarian selection : cheese burrito, taco, refried beans and Spanish rice.

Flavor of the Week

Ellie’s Deli

By Dusten Rader Entertainment Editor

ts a Silver Creek is home to a famnt ily tradition of good food and quality service known as Ellie’s Deli. Since 1989 the Phelka family has been perfecting o their trade as providers of wer- sustenance without sacrificing g quality. Their passion for serving food that they themselves A love to eat has made a lasting impression on the community. rn Christine and Stan Phelka of Fredonia are the owners of ElA lie’s Deli. They run a true famonal ily operation by having their sons Michael and Alex work eb as managers. They also use or their own family recipes for everything that is homemade. And, those who frequent Ellie’s Deli are treated like family too. Plus, there is a little known secret about how the name of Ellie’s Deli originated. Christine’s first name is actually Ellie but she goes by her middle name instead. So, even the name is keeping with the family tradition. of “We originally opened in 1989 because we needed a way to ht support our growing family,” said Christine. “As the boys were growing up they were interested in working with - or Dad. And, two of them still the work here today. Our other - son used to work here too, but t he chose to go to college and start a career.” our Before opening Ellie’s Deli hed- Stan was working at a pizza shop. So, he used his experist ence to create his own recipe ning for the pizza sauce and dough. ore And, the wing sauce recipe hifts was created by Christine. on “We offer good quality food that is made with our own g recipes,” said Christine. “It’s really heart warming that every ne, now and again someone shows ons ght ng ay

up at our counter from out of town that says that they can’t get pizza like ours where they come from.” Over the course of the last 23 years Ellie’s Deli has had an overwhelmingly good response to their food. Christine believes much of that has to do with being a family operation, using family recipes and being consistent with the quality of the food. “Quality and consistency are very important to us,” said Christine. “The customer should know exactly what they are going to get as soon as they walk in the door. Because, we’re here for them. If our customers don’t walk in we’ve got nothing. So, we’ve got to continue giving them what

they want.” The wide variety on the menu may also have something to do with why people keep coming back. When quality, consistency and variety meet; success is likely to follow. The menu features everything from pizza, tacos, hot and cold subs, chicken wings and fingers, soups, salads, calzones, garlic bread, sandwiches, party platters, desserts and healthy options. The majority of the items on the menu are homemade. So, Christine suggests first timers give anything a try. She is confident that her customers can find something on the menu they love. But, if someone just so happens to not be satisfied then she’ll do what she can to cater to that customers needs

or special requests. Christine even tries her best to stay away from prepackaged and processed items because she wants to serve the customers food that she would eat herself. “We use first grade products in our recipes,” she said. “We want to serve homemade food that doesn’t have fillers. I have to eat gluten free so we do cater to customers with dietary restrictions. We’ll find a way to feed you that will taste good.” There are a few things on the menu that are definitely worth trying like the specialty pizzas and subs. There is usually a specialty pizza available by the slice every day. Some of the options include chicken finger,

chicken wing, steak, taco and white pizza. But, according to Christine she’ll create any kind of pizza that customers are looking for. Those who enjoy hot and spicy should try the Kamakazi sub that includes meatballs, pepperoni, hot peppers and cheese. Or, for something a little cooler try the Royal with Capicola, sausage, vegetables and cheese. For customers who are craving a slice of Ellie’s Deli pizza Christine has created some combos that are a slightly lower price when coupled together. The three combos include a large one topping pizza with 20 wings for $24.99, a large one topping pizza and 35 wings for $32.99 and a party pizza with one topping and 45

wings for $44.99. “These combos are great because it allows customers to save a little money but still get a substantial amount of product,” said Christine. For those that simply can’t decide what to try there are every day specials. The specials offered generally include something delicious at an affordable price. The full menu and specials are sent via fax to businesses interested and are also available on the website and facebook. There is also a rewards card that is free and accumulates a point for every dollar spent. When 100 points are reached the customer gets a $10 gift card. “We decided to do this because our customers are giving to us so we want to be able to give back to them as well,” said Christine. Another way that Christine gives is by supporting local causes through means of accepting donations. She also set up a bulletin board inside the restaurant that she allows anyone to make posts to. She hopes that it helps her customers find out what is going on in town. Dining at Ellie’s Deli is an experience best described as having dinner with nice people who make good food and want their guests to feel appreciated. So, stop in soon to meet the Phelka family and enjoy some of their tasty creations. Ellie’s Deli is located at 201 Central Ave. in Silver Creek and is open Monday through Thursday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday 10 a.m. to 12 a.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information visit elliesdeli.com, find them on facebook or call 716-9347235.

Artist Profile

New Horizons Concert Band By Dusten Rader Entertainment Editor

The gift of music is one that should be shared with anyone who has interest in performing or listening. That’s why the New Horizons band of Western New York (NHWNY) was formed seven years ago and has consistently held free concerts throughout their time in Chautauqua County. The NHWNY will continue that tradition on April 19 with a free concert at SUNY Fredonia. The NHWNY is a continuation of the project called New Horizons International Music Association (NHIMA). The idea was started by Roy Ernst in 1991 and has grown exponentially since its inception. There are now over 200 New Horizon bands in the U.S. and more in several other countries. According to NHIMA’s official website, “The NHIMA is an international non-profit organization committed to the New Horizons philosophy of music making and undertakes initiatives designed to support the development and growth of New Horizons music organizations.” For more information on the NHIMA visit newhorizonsmusic.org. New Horizons is a band for people fifty and over. Not only is the band a great place to pick up an old instrument but members also have the opportunity to learn an instrument for the first time. New members are always welcome and no audition is required. There is a fee to join the program. “What makes us unique is that we take all kinds of folks,” said conductor Dr. Katherine M. Levy. “There aren’t many places where you can learn to

play as part of a program.” In addition to acting as conductor and playing in the band Dr. Levy is also an associate professor of music education at SUNY Fredonia and the Chair of Music Education. Dr. Levy has conducted New Horizons Bands in Iowa, Georgia and she founded a New Horizons Band in Hagerstown, MD. But, she isn’t the only one who conducts. There are four others including Amrom Chodos, Pauline Emilson, Joseph Ianaconi and Donald Keddie. Each conductor brings their own performance experience to improve the quality of the band. Amrom Chodos served as an Army Bandsman in the West Point Band, a member of the “Creative Associates,” an avant-garde music group in the Center for the Creative and Performing Arts at the University in Buffalo, a regular performer with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, Assistant Principal Clarinetist with the Florida Symphony Orchestra in Orlando and is presently the second chair Clarinetist with the Niagara

Symphony Orchestra in Ontario, Canada. Pauline Emilson received her Bachelor of Music from SUNY College at Fredonia in 1977 and her Master of Music in French Horn Performance from the School of Music at SUNY Fredonia in 1987. Her entire teaching career has been in Chautauqua County. She began her career in Panama, NY and retired from Westfield Academy and Central School. Joseph Ianaconi has been a student at SUNY Fredonia since 2006. He earned a BM in Music Education cum laude in 2010. He has worked with the New Horizons Band of Western New York as

an instructor for the past 5 years. His experience includes teaching percussion lessons, co-directing and arranging for the New Horizons Band percussion ensemble, coaching the rhythm section for the jazz band and leading percussion sectionals. Donald Keddie retired in 2008 from teaching music in the Fredonia Central Schools. During his thirty-three year career at Fredonia, he directed elementary, middle and high school bands. He also conducted the high school orchestra and taught AP Music Theory. He has worked on more than thirty-five musicals where he served at various times as director and producer, music director, con-

ductor, set designer and lighting designer. He is currently an adjunct instructor and a supervisor of student teachers at the SUNY Fredonia School of Music, his alma mater. The NHWNY has been in operation for the last seven years and has about 65 members. Dr. Levy believes that the program brings members to a new horizon by playing music. “In our country playing music is something that is sometimes limited to people who are school aged or very talented and that isn’t what music needs to be,” said Dr. Levy. “Music can be for everyone at different levels. Another motto that Roy Ernst’s brought to us is that your best is good enough. The process of making music is wonderful and should be shared with everybody.” The program is also a great opportunity for SUNY Fredonia music education students as well. They get to work either one on one or in groups with members of the band to help them learn to play an instrument.

The bands next performance is scheduled for April 19 at 7 p.m. in SUNY Fredonia’s Harry A. King Concert Hall. The event will feature about 15 songs performed by the concert band and featured ensembles including Percussion, Saxtette and Jazz. Some of the songs that will be performed include Empire State Salute by Ted Petersen; Fanfare, Ode, and Festival arranged by Bob Margolis; The Sound of Music by Richard Rodgers; Barker Centennial March by Amrom Chodos; Twelfth Street Rag by Euday Bowman; Take the “A” Train by Billy Strayhorn and arranged by Vince Gassi; Sound of Silence with words and music by Paul Simon and arranged by Rich Sigler; A Nasty Bit of Blues by Doug Beach; The Peanut Vendor by Moises Simons and arranged by John J. Morrissey and more. The performance is free and open to the public but guests are able to bring donations for the food pantry. “I would love for people to come and hear what great music we can make while having such a good time,” said Dr. Levy. “Music can be outstanding even when performed by amateurs. Come see and we will show you.” So far there are two other performances scheduled over the summer. One performance will be located at Barker Commons in July and the other at Willow Creek Winery in August.

First Public Meeting for Chadakoin River Revitalization Study Contributed Article CRRS

The first public meeting to address the City of Jamestown Chadakoin River Revitalization Study will be held in the auditorium of the Robert H. Jackson Center at 305 East 4th Street, Tuesday, April 24, 2012, from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. The Chadakoin River Revitalization Study is a 16-month planning effort focused on opportunities for economic le development and community recreation along the Jamestown riverfront. The City of Jamestown was recently awarded three NY State planning grants targeted at the Chadakoin River and the properties near the River. These grants include two

Brownfield Opportunity Area (BOA) studies and a Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) study. The purpose of the BOA studies are to advance the redevelopment of underutilized, abandoned, or contaminated commercial and industrial sites within two designated study areas, and the purpose of the LWRP is to provide a framework for the revitalization of Riverfront properties and to enhance connections between the River and other parts of the City. To make the most effective and efficient use of the grant funds, the City elected to merge the separate studies into one project. As part of this important planning project, the City will be seeking community input at various times during the project.

The first meeting, which will be held on April 24, 2012, will serve as an introduction to the overall project, and provide a forum for public discussion about the potential of the riverfront to become a greater community asset. The initial meeting will be conducted by LaBella Associates, P.C. in conjunction with the Jamestown Urban Renewal Agency and the City of Jamestown Waterfront Advisory Committee. This effort builds upon existing plans, including the City’s Urban Design Plan. Completion of these additional planning efforts will help the City, as well as businesses and property owners in the area, with obtaining grants and financial incentives for riverfront redevelopment.

Creative Workshops Highlight Chautauqua in June Learning Festival

Contributed Article Chautauqua County Visitor’s Bureau

An Open Studio Tour of Lake Erie regional artists and an annual LakeArts Film Festival provide a strong start and finish for the second annual Chautauqua in June learning festival, May 25 – June 17, held in Chautauqua County, New York. More than a dozen creative workshops will be offered during the three-week schedule including painting, drawing, photography, film animation, writing, jewelry making, and knitting, sewing, and spinning yarn. An open house of artists’ studios along the Chautauqua-Lake Erie Art Trail kicks off the second annual Chautauqua in June learning festival over Memorial Day Weekend, May 26 to 27 and the following weekend June 2 to 3. During the annual Open Studio Tour, meet 24 artists who make their living in Chautauqua County. Visit their studios from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day and see recent works in all mediums while getting to know the artists in the personal spaces where they live and create their work. Tour this picturesque region of New York State where Victorian architecture set amongst verdant vineyards and fields, lush forests, rolling

hills, and a spectacular Lake Erie shoreline inspires the creative spirit. Artists will be on hand creating pieces, demonstrating techniques and selling their works. The Open Studio Tour is an appropriate start to Chautauqua in June where regional artists and artisans will offer more than a dozen classes and workshops in painting, drawing, photography, and film animation as well as jewelry making, knitting, sewing, and spinning yarn. Several workshops will occur en plein air, or “in the open air”, such as in the artist’s garden with instructor and artist, Thomas Annear. Students will learn color theory and composition while completing an oil painting inspired by over 40 varieties of irises and poppies. Using the spring flowers growing around Chautauqua Institution for ideas, artist and retired teacher, Audrey Kay Dowling will offer a three day drawing series focusing on line drawing, shading, and color theory. Exclaimed Dowling, “I have always loved teaching and this is a wonderful opportunity to share how to capture the beauty of spring flowers in a gorgeous environment and spend pre-season time at Chautauqua when the pace is relaxed, and there are no parking restrictions or

fees. Drawing is a meditative process that is both relaxing and rewarding while also being fun and stimulating, and being creative activates parts of the brain that many folks have neglected.” Two different workshops will offer new perspectives on taking photographs. The Art of Taking a Second Look with award-winning nature photographer Gary Cuckler will include a field trip to the Allenberg Bog, an area of terrain that has changed very little over the last 12,000 years since the last glacier moved through the region. Landscape photographer James Hoggard will use vineyards as the muse for teaching basic photography skills including camera composition, lighting, color balance, and depth of field. A small class size will also allow him to customize the class according to participant interests. Said Hoggard, “with the amazing popularity of digital cameras, it seems everyone has been transformed into a photographer. While these new cameras give nice results there are still numerous ways to improve and get more professional photographs. I am looking forward to teaching my class because, not only do I enjoy sharing my experience about a topic that I love, but I always

come away learning something myself!” Students of all ages will enjoy making their own short animated movies using stopframe motion as portrayed in the movie, HUGO, with animation artists and faculty from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. Others might enjoy using sea or lake glass to make beautiful jewelry at Imagine! in Bemus or learning how to spin yarn with instructors from SUNY Fredonia’s Center for Lifelong Learning and Special Programs. Formally educated in fashion design, Margot Stuart from Ariel’s Bed & Breakfast will teach couture costume design techniques using a 30” teddy bear in a Designer Santa Bear Workshop. Aspiring writers will have opportunities to learn and develop their craft as well during the annual Chautauqua Writer’s Festival and a workshop on Adapting Literary Works for the Screen.

In conjunction with the animation workshop, the LakeArts Festival and Chautauqua Cinema will also screen the Academy Awardwinning HUGO, directed by Martin Scorsese. On Sunday June 17, the LakeArts Festival, in collaboration with the Rod Serling Foundation, and the Menace the Public Conscience Festival’s film preservation program will present THE MAN (1972), a recently discovered Rod Serling film about the improbable rise of a black President in the 1960’s.

Business Profile:

Dunkirk Camp & Conference Center Providing Summer Fun for All Ages By Morgan Stewart Star News Writer

For many, the summer months are the highlight of the year, and with good reason. There’s no better time to enjoy oneself outdoors than with the season’s barbecues, sun-filled naps in lawn chairs, or-- thanks to the Dunkirk Camp & Conference Center-a rousing game of Quidditch torn straight from the pages of a J.K. Rowling novel. The Dunkirk Camp & Conference Center, also known as the DCC, is a non-profit corporation sprawled across 110 acres of lush Lake Erie woodlands. Not only does it provide catering services in its banquet halls for weddings and special events, but its grounds additionally house 23 heated cabins for camping retreats between May and October. The DCC was originally built in 1922 as an Evangelical Sunday school training center, although it was later taken over by the United Church of Christ. The Church decided in the late ‘80s to discontinue its use, but those who had come to know and love the building decided to take over its operation in the form of an advisory board. Administrative Assistant Darcy LaGrow estimates that the camping element of the DCC was introduced at least 50 years ago and has since experienced significant growth under current Executive Director Julie LaGrow. Last year’s season, for instance, saw a double in the size of its summer day camp since its foundation by LaGrow in 2010.

Though priding itself on being a Christian education campus, the camp welcomes all members of the community to participate in its endless list of programs oriented towards children, teens, and adults alike. There are offerings to appeal to campers of all interests, ages and abilities: from day camps to theater programs to family retreats, everyone will find an event to make their summer memorable. To ensure that no one is left out, the DCC’s indoor facilities and nature trails are wheelchair accessible. Some family retreats particularly for special needs children are provided as well, like October’s “One Piece at a Time” in support of the autistic. This year’s overarching camp theme is “Secrets of the Kingdom,” which will focus on the critical role of storytelling in the history of human communication with an emphasis on biblical parables. Some of today’s most culturally recognized stories have been worked into the programs, like April’s Harry Potter campout or a Star Wars weekend in June. “In the summertime, it’s great here with the kids out and about on the grounds. I’ve met a whole lot of really wonderful people working here,” said Goodrich. For the adults in need of some relaxation, afternoon classes and weekend-long events are available that range from crafts and cooking instruction to social media education. A weekend of “spiritual nurturing for one’s body, mind and soul” designed just for women is scheduled in the beginning of June and includes on-site

childcare for busy mothers. Later this summer, the DCC will be holding its fourth annual Walk-4-DCC, their biggest fundraising event of the year. The distance covered during July 15‘s walk is tailorable; a casual participant can make a leisurely stroll of the roughly one-mile loop and enjoy the view surrounding the lake, while the more serious athlete can choose to turn the course into their own minimarathon. Sponsor forms are currently available online, along with descriptions of the fun and games that will be held on-site (bounce house, anyone?). This year’s goal is to come close to the $15,000 that was raised at 2009’s kick-off Walk-4-DCC. Because of the business’s dependency on fundraising and donations, no major additions are planned any time soon concerning facilities. Instead, there is an on ongoing focus on the maintenance of the 90-yearold buildings. As for the future of its programs, Goodrich says that the board will continue to experiment with themes: “Every year we try different camps to see what works and what doesn’t. [We test] any idea that pops into our heads, and hopefully it’s something that works and we can do again.” The DCC’s office is located on Lake Shore Drive in Dunkirk.

Q&A

Put string toys away after play

Q: I read an article that strings are dangerous for cats, but toys with string are all over the pet store. Are they safe or not? — H.R., via Facebook A: Kittens and cats love playing with string, as well as ribbon and anything that twists and dances. They like to stalk, to pounce, to flip their slender prey into the air, and to start stalking again. That’s all good clean fun, but there’s always a chance that your cat won’t stop with play and will decide to eat his plaything. And that’s where the fun stops, because any sort of string can wreak havoc in your cat’s intestines, ver-causing a problem that may need to be surgically treated. 12 That’s why string toys such d as the popular “cat fishing poles” or other kitty lures are meant for interactive use only. Once you’re done playing the game with your cat or kitten, s, put the toy securely out of - reach behind a cupboard or r- closet door. er, Toys probably aren’t even the biggest risk in most homes. If you knit or sew, put your - supplies securely away after n you’re done with them, and if d- you’re opening or wrapping ; packages, clean up after you’re tary done. Packing material such as foam “peanuts” can be a health er, hazard for your pet, too. Even if your pet’s not really the playful type, she may find , one kind of string irresistr, ible: juice-soaked string from Y.; a roast or turkey. Dispose of these tempting dangers cared fully, putting them in a container your cat can’t get into. m- — Dr. Marty Becker Do you have a pet question? Send it to petconnection@gmail.com.

EASY CARE FOR AGING PETS

New guidelines address overvaccination of pets

Giving fluids at home keeps many pets comfortable By Gina Spadafori Universal Uclick

ast year, my elderly Sheltie, Drew, was diagnosed with canine kidney disease. Medications didn’t agree with him, his appetite for a therapeutic diet (or indeed any food at all) was nonexistent, and I was sent home with supplies for giving him subcutaneous fluids at home to see if he could be saved. I’m not particularly squeamish about needles or, indeed, most aspects of pet care, so I wasn’t the least bit troubled about pushing fluids under my dog’s skin every morning for the rest of his life. I did suspect, however, that the rest of his life wouldn’t be that long a time period. Turns out, I sold both Drew and subcutaneous fluid therapy short. Drew turned 15 in December, bounced back last month from a mild stroke, and more recently spent an entire day bouncing happily around dog-friendly wineries in Napa Valley. All because of an inexpensive, five-minute procedure I’ve taken to calling “the daily re-Drewbinating.” His appetite came back enough that he actually put on weight. And no one can believe he’s an old dog, much less one who’s basically a hospice case. Drew’s success is not even that remarkable. My veterinarian has other patients who’ve done well for years on regular subcutaneous therapy at home, either in conjunction with medication and special diets or, as in Drew’s case, simply with better hydration. With a daily dose of subcutaneous fluids given at Is subcutaneous fluid therapy at home right for you and your sick pet? Could be! home, 15-year-old Drew has an active, happy life.

And the fact that it’s easy and the line to let the fluids in, reversing the process inexpensive? Icing on the cake.

New recommendations stress tailoring vaccines to an individual pet, with core vaccinations given at wider intervals. • Veterinarians used to think vaccines were so safe that it was better to vaccinate whenever there was any doubt about a pet’s vaccine status. But research has shown that in some pets, the negative reaction to a vaccine isn’t a day of just not feeling right: In a small but significant number of cats, deadly cancer was the result. New recommendations by veterinary authorities are a series of vaccinations to initiate disease resistance in kittens and puppies, followed by fewer “core” vaccines at longer intervals for adult dogs and cats. • White-coated and thin-coated dogs are vulnerable to skin cancer, and veterinary dermatologists have long recommended sunblock for these pets. Children’s waterproof sunblock can be used, and there are even products that are made specifically for pets. • Some 80 to 90 percent of the drugs used in veterinary medicine come from human medicine. This so-called “off-label” use of human drugs allows veterinarians to treat medical conditions (and species) that might not be priorities for big drug companies when it comes to developing and selling medications. The reasons for prescribing the medication may not be the same in people as it is in pets, however. Veterinarians have used Viagra for canine heart problems, for example. More routinely (and less surprisingly) prescribed are “human” antibiotics, anti-anxiety medications and many other drugs that pretty much treat the same issues both in people and in pets. — Mikkel Becker and Dr. Marty Becker

Zed Williams and Frank Brown served as a pretty good frontcourt for head coach Robert Genco during the winter. The Black Knights rode the two forwards to a 19-2 basketball record, a divisional championship and were a buzzer-beater — that rimmed out — away from a Section VI Class C championship. Well, just one month later, coach Genco is at it again. This time with lacrosse, and again, with those two dominant forwards leading the way. “We’re really fortunate to have those two,” Genco said. “Frank can create a lot of things for us, can beat guys one-on-one and best of all, it’s not all about him. “Zed can just take over a game,” he continued. “He can play with anyone. It can be frustrating because we’ve haven’t seen the real Zed yet, but it’s there.” Of course, it hasn’t just been Brown and Williams, but those two have stolen the show for the Black Knights (4-0, 3-0 Class C) as they’ve trounced through the beginning of their schedule. It started with an impressive 14-10 win over Canisius High School, the large private school in Buffalo.

It’s a nice run for Genco and Silver Creek, who has many players on this team that were also on the basketball team that almost went to states. That, he says, has given his team a head start to the lacrosse season. “Developing personal relationships with the players is important,” he said. “It started in basketball season for us and it gets the guys to care about each other. ‘I love you coach’ and ‘I love you [player]’. It makes it a family atmosphere and that really works for us — and I want that as a coach.” It’s worked well this year. Silver

“We have some breakdowns defensively, too,” he continued. “We’re not talking enough back there and we can become a little complacent. “Should I be frustrated?” Genco asked rhetorically. “I don’t know. We’ve played four great games and have done a lot of things right, but there’s a lot of coaching still.” What is known is Silver Creek has an immensely talented squad. They’ll be without senior John Jimerson for a while. The quarterback/point guard/midfielder broke his wrist is up in the air if and when he’ll return. But, the Black Knights seem to have enough talent there with Zed Williams and Brandon Brooks and Kaine Kettle. Up top, Brown, freshman Sherman Williams and sophomore Marvin Curry are more than enough. Goalie Connor Graves has been solid when tested. So the question is how good can this team be? As good — or better — than last year’s team that lost to Cazenovia High School, who went on to win states? “I hate to look at it and forecast the season,” Genco said. “But to get there you have to earn it. And with the talent we have, we can be as competitive as anybody in Class C statewide.” Silver Creek played East Aurora at home yesterday, their last home game for quite some time. They’ll be at Fairview (Pa.) Friday before picking back up with league play against Medina Monday. The bulk of games will lead them into arguably their most important stretch of the season when they play traditional power Orchard Park on the road next Friday night before Wilson the following week. Although still early in the season, Orchard Park and Wilson are the only two remaining undefeated teams in Section VI besides Silver Creek.

Three Blue Devils Selected For SUNYAC Weekly Awards Contributed Article Fredonia Sports Information

FREDONIA, N.Y. — Three Fredonia State student-athletes were named to weekly award lists Monday by the State University of New York Athletic Conference. They are junior lacrosse player Casey Chiesa, senior track and field athlete Broncho Rollins, and junior softball player Anne Wasik. Chiesa earned her second straight SUNYAC Goalie of the Week honors after leading the Blue Devils to a 2-0 week with 24 combined saves and a .533 save percentage. Last Tuesday, Chisea stopped 12 shots in the 15-11 win over Buffalo State. She also made 12 saves on Saturday, nine in the second half, and collected three groundballs in the 19-10 win over Potsdam. The Blue Devils remain unbeaten in the SUNYAC and set a school record for

BLACK KNIGHTS continued from pg 1 seriously, he said, it’s still tough to stay on the guys when leading by so much late in games. Scrimmages against Frontier and Hamburg, hopefully will pay off. “(Scrimmage) like that make us more battle-ready,” Genco said. “But, and I hate to say it, you need to have that competition. We can’t control who we play, we’re not an independent and we have to do what we can against the other [Class] C’s, but it’s tough to keep the guys focused when up by so much. “We had a player say ‘we need more games like [Hamburg, Frontier] on our schedule’ but it is what it is,” Genco said. “We need to find ways to forget about the score and still work on things and not to play down to the competition.” Luckily for Genco and the Black Knights, a few miles on cruise-control hasn’t come back to haunt them in any type of fashion so far. In fact, it’s been incredible impressive when Silver Creek is on their “A-game” to watch them score with such ease and run away with games. For example, a seven-goal onslaught that spanned less than four minutes midway through the third quarter against Eden. It was as simple as give the ball to Brown, and let him make a play. It worked, but Genco insists that’s not good enough right now. “Yea, I’m frustrated a little bit,” he said. “There’s still a lot of coaching to be done. Offensively, we’re just not executing our plays. We need to let them develop a little more and look for our second and third options. Of course, it’s tough when we’re scoring on our first shot, how do you tell the guys ‘no’?” Averaging just less than 20 goals a game is nice and will win you a lot of games, but Genco was adamant about work still needing to be done to improve.

Long, Arkansas Deserve Credit

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

RA 30 25 There’s a lot wrong with college sports these days. This 34 list really goes on endlessly 23 and the worst part is, we 13 probably don’t even know half of it — or worse, more. 9 But, in the current era we live 24 in, you actually have to give a ton of credit to Arkansas Athletic Director Jeff Long — and the university as a RA whole — for axing disgraced 0 head football coach Bobby 12 Petrino. 15 Petrino was stuck in an off-the-field, off-the-campus 22 scandal that showed Petrino 16 was having an extramari8 tal affair with 25-year-old football staffer, Jessica Dor34 rell. Now, let me start off by saying that I really don’t think anyone should be fired for simply having an affair. ObviRA ously, I’m wholeheartedly 22 against it — who isn’t? — but as long as someone doesn’t let 2 their personal life interfere 10 with how they do their job, 9 it’s really nobody’s business. 0 Obviously, Dorrell was a part of the football staff. So that’s 36 different. Plus, it was Petrino 7 who made sure she got the job, despite clearly not being the most qualified (do some research on that if you don’t RA believe me — it’s out there) 41 candidate. Oh yeah, and Petrino reportedly gave her 26 $20,000 not too long ago (be16 fore hiring), which she spun 19 into a brand new Acura. 19 OK, that’s all important, but how fireable is it? To me, it’s 39 despicable — let alone for 32 someone married with four 11 kids — but don’t forget this is major college football. This is the sport where winning is king. It’s the sport that generates enough revenue to fund nearly every single school’s entire athletic budget. So yes, winning is important and yes, Arkansas was doing a lot of it lately. And yes, you could argue Petrino had everything to do with it. By his third year, he had taken Arkansas to the Sugar Bowl, their first BCS Bowl Game since 1986. Last year, the Razorbacks finished 11-2 and finished in the Associated Press Top 5 for just the third time in school history. They were forced to play in the Cotton Bowl because only two teams from any one conference can play in BCS games and of course, Arkansas finished behind LSU and Alabama (who were there only two losses) who played for the national championship. But more importantly, there’s this year. Tyler Wilson is back at quarterback, a Heisman candidate who threw for 3,638 yards, 24 touchdowns and just six interceptions last year. They also have running back Knile Davis, a Heisman

candidate in 2011 before blowing out his ACL in the fall (which forced him to miss the entire year), back in the fold as well. Yes, Arkansas, still went 11-2 without arguably their best player in David and was going to enter the 2012 season as a potential Top 5 team with realistic goals of winning the national title. And it’s not just me who thinks so, sportsbooks in Las Vegas have Arkansas as a 15/1 favorite to win it all, eighth highest. So you see, Long’s decision to axe the school’s most popular coach since the famed Frank Broyles patrolled the sidelines in the ’60s and ’70s, was anything but an easy one. But it was the right move, and if there’s any justification for the Razorbacks, they’ll have another fine season in 2012 and have a shot at playing for the national title. They just didn’t deserve to do it with Petrino on the sideline or at the microphone. Which is why Long, and the University of Arkansas, were correct in making the choice to fire Petrino. I know some out might be saying it was the only choice, but frankly, it wasn’t. Most colleges without a backbone would surely have succumbed to the potential loss of revenue and overall angst from fans, alumni and boosters, and slapped a meaningless suspension and deduction of pay on a coach. If you think that’s simply incorrect, then you’re simply just being naïve. Plus, don’t forget where we are in the college football calendar. It’s April. It’s spring ball and trust me, there aren’t qualified head coaches just sitting on the couch waiting around for the phone to ring. A perfect example is Garrick McGee, offensive coordinator at Arkansas last season, who left to take the head job at Alabama-Birmingham (better known as UAB) just a few months ago. He’d be a great fit, like a few others, but there’s not much that can be done just a few months for the season. Thus Arkansas showed some intestinal fortitude, as they say, and canned Petrino for basically being a scumbag — I’m sorry, there’s just nothing else to say about him, and if you look into his phone records, as its being reported, it’s not just Dorrell. But, they did it at practically the most inopportune time for a team to do so and while we’ll never really know what any other school would have done, Arkansas deserves some props for this. This doesn’t mean Arkansas can’t win this season, but it’s got to be tough on a group of 20-year-olds to lose their coach and mentor. Regardless, the biggest win for the university came last week and it should stretch long past this upcoming football season. They’re going to do it the right way off the field, which is what college athletics should be about. With any good fortune, they won’t miss a beat on the field, either.

High School Baseball Roundup

By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

Grey Tosses One-Hitter A return to the Empire State has been a welcome sign for the Frewsburg Bears, who romped Cattaraugus-Little Valley and Silver Creek in their first two games back from the Mingo Bay Classic in Myrtle Beach, S.C. Thad Johnson pounded out four hits against Catt/L.V. to lead a 16-2 rout. But it wa a total team effort — as you could imagine when scoring 16 runs. Tage Johnson went 3-for-5 with six RBI and Connor Grey went 3-for-5 with three RBI. Grey also took care of business on the mound, tossing a complete game, allowing just two runs. The senior struck out 11 and allowed just one hit while walking two. It was a great start for Grey, who got roughed up a little bit in his last outing down in South Carolina. Nick Mitchell followed up Monday afternoon with another solid pitching performance for the Bears with a complete game that saw him allow just three hits. Mitchell struck out 10 and walked one as Frewsburg won 10-1 and moved to 3-3 (2-0 CCAA 2) on the season. Mitchell also went 2-for-3 with the bat and Tage Johnson went 2-for-4 with four more RBI. Tage now has 14 RBI in just six games. Frewsburg hosts Portville Friday and Falconer Tuesday.

double from Connor Farnham that knocked in two runs. But, Fredonia ran themselves out of a rally in the top of the third when Farnham was thrown out at the plate, trying to score on a sacrifice fly. Lake Shore went on to tie the game in the bottom half of the inning and took the lead later in the fifth to secure the win. But, the Hillbillies (5-1, 1-0 CCAA 1) settled down and convincingly won their first league game of the season Monday against Falconer (1-1, 0-1 CCAA 1) by a final score of 12-6. That was because the offense came alive, scoring four runs in the first and five more in the second. They didn’t need the dominance of Trent Thompson — like the outing he had at Hamburg last week — and head coach Vince Gullo yanked Thompson after two scoreless innings, evident the game was in control. Farnham homered for the Hillbillies, while the rest of the offense equally contributed. Nick Hart added two RBI, as did Jude Gardner and Zack Buckley. Senior Brett Lutz anchored the bottom half of the lineup with four RBI. Fredonia is at Gowanda Friday for another important league game before heading

Dunkirk Wins Title at MBC, Picks up win in league opener

The defending Class B champs picked up a big win in its first game back also from the Mingo Bay Classic. But, first, the Marauders claimed the Class C title down in Myrtle Beach by defeating Beekmantown (N.Y.) last Friday. Dunkirk saw a bit of everything, including a team from Australia, last week and showed off their impressive depth of arms. Dunkirk played six games in five days and you can ask just about any high school coach around the country about how big of a nightmare that can be. The Marauders went 3-2 on their trip, but came back for the real games this weekend and had a quick turnaround against Allegany-Limestone Monday afternoon for the league opener for both teams. Clayton Cieclewicz and Max Schrantz added RBI singles for the Dunkirk offense.

feated Randolph 4-1 in CCAA 2 action. It’s a division that has been dominated by Frewsburg plays each of the two schools over the next week (started last night). In CCAA 3, Maple Grove blanked Chautauqua Lake 3-0 behind a solid outing from Red Dragons pitcher Matt Fowler. Fowler struck out nine batters, walked one and allowed only two hits, as the Maple Grove bats didn’t need to do much. Also in CCAA 3, Forestville beat Ellicottville 12-6 and Pine Valley defeated Franklinville 5-1. Pine Valley has won four of the last five Class D championships, including the last two and look just as strong this year. They do get the benefit of facing stiffer competition in CCAA 3, versus the rest of the Class D teams in CCAA 4. Finally, in CCAA 4, West Valley — who looks like the top threat to Pine Valley — outhit Ripley to win its opener 12-11. North Collins, also a perennially tough Class D team took out Clymer 11-1.

while Katie Kleine had two goals and six assists to lead the Fredonia State offense. Casey Chiesa made 12 saves, nine in the second half, and collected three groundballs. The teams played a see-saw first half with neither team leading by more than one goal and Fredonia State in the lead, 8-7, at intermission. After trading goals at the start of the second half, the Blue Devils scored six straight goals — two each by Cortney Ciaschi and Simon and one each by Brinthaupt and Morgan McNamara. Kleine, Simon, and Erin Edson had goals to complete the 9-1 run. In addition to her eight points, Kleine collected four groundballs, as did McNamara, while Mary Bruton had three groundballs. Megan Mietelski led the Blue Devils with seven draw controls to go alone with three groundballs and three caused turnovers.

‘Rock’ owner: Race a success Kasey Kahne took the checkered flag in Sunday’s Camping World Truck Series race at Rockingham Speedway, but the real winners were track owner Andy Hillenburg and the people in the Rockingham area who worked hard to bring NASCAR racing back to the Rock. An impressive crowd estimated at 27,500 was on hand to participate in the first NASCAR race at Rockingham since 2004, when the track was closed and its remaining Cup race moved to Texas Motor Speedway. Hillenburg told reporters after the race that although he doesn’t have the final numbers, he considers the weekend a big success. “As a promoter, I still want to go and do better, but I am very proud of our efforts,” he said. “It was a team effort, and I feel like we did the best that we could do based on the knowledge that we had. I also feel confident in saying that if I get a second chance from NASCAR, I can do even better.”

Rebound

Biffle: ‘This year is my year’

reg Biffle’s rebound appears to be for real. The veteran driver, who hasn’t performed up to expectations in recent seasons, broke a 49-race losing streak on Saturday at Texas Motor Speedway, and has led the Cup points standings since the third race of the season, at Las Vegas. In the eyes of many observers, Biffle’s victory validated his position atop the points standings. For others, it raised the possibility, although it’s still very early in the season, that he could become the first driver ever to win a championship in all three of NASCAR’s elite divisions – Camping World Trucks, Nationwide and Cup. Biffle won the truck title in 2000 and the Nationwide crown two years later. But as Biffle pointed out in his winner’s interview at Texas, where he defeated five-time Cup champion Jimmie Johnson in a late-race duel, the higher a driver advances up the NASCAR ladder, the more difficult it is to win races and championships. “When I moved from the truck series to Nationwide, it was a huge step,” Biffle said. “It was much, much harder. And when I moved from the Nationwide to the Cup Series, I had no idea that the competition was going to be what it was. “I knew it was going to be hard. But man, it’s tough, and there are a lot of great drivers in this sport and a lot of good equipment. ... But this year is my year, so I’m going to keep after it all the way to Homestead.”

Biffle has come close in the past. In 2005, he led the Cup circuit in race victories with six, and tied his Roush Fenway Racing teammate Carl Edwards for second in the championship standings, 35 points behind winner Tony Stewart. He was third in 2008, but the next three seasons saw him win just two races – at Pocono and Kansas in 2010 – and finish outside the top five in points. Midway through last year, Biffle’s team got a new crew chief as Matt Puccia replaced Greg Erwin. The results began to change almost immediately. Like Biffle, Puccia’s career has seen him make stops in all three NASCAR divisions, and like Biffle, he’s a longtime member of Jack Roush’s race team. Saturday’s victory at Texas was his first in the elite Cup series. “Jack gave me this opportunity in the Truck Series and I got my first win with Roush in 2008 with Erik Darnell,” Puccia said. “It’s been a great progression with the company.” Also like Biffle, he’s looking forward to the upcoming stretch of races on the schedule. “We’ve got some good race tracks coming,” he said. “We’ve got Kansas and Richmond and Talladega and Darlington, and as we look ahead there’s not one race I can’t say we can’t go and run good and be in contention to win every week. “So we’re looking forward to getting going the next part of this little stint here.”

Bristol owner cautioned in addressing attendance woes Speedway Motorsports Chairman and Bristol Motor Speedway owner Bruton Smith is trying to put the action genie back in the bottle at Bristol, but several drivers are saying “not so fast” to his plans to somehow alter the track in an attempt to bring back the beating and banging that fans say they miss. The recent Food City 500 played out before a 160,000-seat grandstand that was barely half full, setting off a debate over the drop-off from years of consecutive sellouts. Some say the surface, reconfigured in 2007, eliminated the onegroove racing that led to the large use of bump-and run tactics, and fans don’t like the side-by-side racing that ensued. Others say the slumping economy, coupled with the high cost of attending races, is to blame. Jeff Gordon is among those urging Smith to proceed with caution. “I think you have to be very, very careful,” Gordon said in his weekly press conference, at Texas Motor Speedway, adding that the track’s issues might be more related to the Car of Tomorrow than the racing surface. He said that with the new car, bump-and-run at Bristol might not be practical. “This car punches a big hole in the air, and I’m not so sure we’d be able to get to the guy’s rear bumper,” he said. “We might see more single-file racing.” Gordon said he polled his Twitter followers, and a majority of them said the racing surface wasn’t a big issue. “My Twitter poll was that gas prices and hotel prices and the economy are the biggest reason why people are saving their money to come to the night race there, and not able to travel as much as they used to and be able to incur some of the expenses that they used to,” he said. “They’re going to save up for a Saturday night race.”

As caddy, Hamlin gets taste of Masters golf tournament Denny Hamlin went from being one of the stars of one sport to being a fan of another athlete during last week’s Masters golf tournament in Augusta, Ga. His friend and fellow “Dukes of Hazzard” enthusiast Bubba Watson had Hamlin caddy for him during a preliminary event at Augusta, then went out and scored a dramatic win in the prestigious golf classic. “Of course that trick shot I taught him on Wednesday paid off on Sunday,” Hamlin joked in reference to the hook shot that Watson launched from the woods that put his ball within easy reach of the cup during the second hole of a sudden-death playoff. “It’s just one of those things where it was an amazing accomplishment for him and his family.” Hamlin said that he and Watson hit it off from the first time they met, on a golf course in Phoenix in 2010. “We’re both lefties,” he said. “We both obviously like racing. I grew up loving ‘The Dukes of Hazzard,’ and he obviously does as well. I don’t know what it is about our personalities, but we seem to get along. It was right from the ‘get go.’” And he admits pulling hard for his friend in the closing round of the Masters. “I was just generally nervous for him on Sunday,” Hamlin said. “I’m nervous because it’s my friend and you hope that the guy does well. It’s just a great feeling. I felt like I won it myself.”

Edwards on ex’s tell-all book: ‘I consider us friends’ Carl Edwards took the high road when asked at Texas Motor Speedway about his portrayal as controlling and self-centered in an autobiography by his former girlfriend, Amanda Beard. Edwards, now married to another woman and the father of two children, said he really didn’t know what to make of Beard’s opinions. “I guess all I can say is that I

considered us friends and I didn’t realize that she had all those problems,” he said. “I would have done anything in the world to have helped her with those. As always, regardless of what she writes in her books and things like that, if she ever needs something from me, I would be there to help her out. I don’t know what else to say about that.”

Pioneering African-American driver Wendell Scott and NASCAR’s first treasurer and secretary Anne B. France are among the latest five nominees for induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, N.C. Joining Scott and France are engine builder and car owner Ray Fox, sponsor executive Ralph Seagraves and driver Rusty Wallace. They join 20 nominees who were on the list last year. Five will be selected on May 23. Scott, who died in 1990, is the only AfricanAmerican to compete regularly in the series now known as Sprint Cup. He ran 495 races from 1961-73, winning one pole, at Savannah, Ga., in 1962, and one race, at Jacksonville, Fla., in 1964. He also had 20 top-five and 147 top-10 finishes. His career essentially ended with a grinding crash at Talladega in 1973. Fox won 14 races in NASCAR’s elite series, and fielded cars for drivers including Junior Johnson, Buck Baker and Buddy Baker. Seagraves, as a senior vice president of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., helped bring the sponsorship of Reynolds’ Winston brand to NASCAR, and worked with the NASCAR industry to expand the sport. Wallace, who retired from driving in 2005, won 55 Cup races and the 1989 championship.

Stenhouse gets 2nd 2012 win Ricky Stenhouse Jr. continues to show that he’s truly one of NASCAR’s up-andcoming stars. At Texas Motor Speedway, the defending Nationwide Series champion got his second Nationwide victory of the season, and moved to within four points of series leader Elliott Sadler. Stenhouse led three times for 68 laps and held off Cup regulars Paul Menard, Kasey Kahne and Denny Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Hamlin to get his (NASCAR photo) fourth career victory. “I feel a lot better coming into this year, obviously, with the championship from last year,” Stenhouse said. “One thing I do enjoy about this is running up front every week, and we have a shot to win every week. That is all we can do. When we can finish it off like that, that is a positive.”

Kalamazoo 3, Traverse City 2 (OT) (Kalamazoo wins series, 3-1) Alex Okicki stopped 37 shots, as he led the Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings to a 3-2 overtime victory and a 3-1 series victory over the Traverse City North Stars in the North Divisional Semifinals on Saturday at Centre Ice Arena in Traverse City. The first period contained back and forth action the entire frame, however neither team was able to find the back of the net. Traverse City outshot Kalamazoo 11-10 during the opening period, while Kalamazoo killed off three power play attempts in the first. Those kills were highlighted by 1:44 of five-on-three time in which the Jr. K-Wings denied the North Stars any real scoring opportunity. Scoring ran wild in the second, as the two teams combined for four goals in the middle frame. Starting the scoring for Traverse City, and giving them a 1-0 lead was Will Badner, who scored his second of the playoffs on a loose puck rebound in front of the goal. Four minutes and fourteen seconds later, Kalamazoo's Brett Beauvais scored his first of the playoffs with a left-side wrister from the point, which locked the game up at one goal apiece. Midway through the second, with the game tied at one apiece, Traverse City took their second lead of the game with the first of the playoffs by Seth Adams. With less than three minutes to go in the second, and down a goal, the Jr. K-Wings' Danny Hamburg drew his team even with his low-slot goal. The goal for Hamburg, the first

of his playoff career, came at the 17:10 mark of the middle frame. 8:13 into overtime, Drew Graves broke the tie and gave Kalamazoo a 3-2 victory with his breakaway tally. The goal for Graves was his third of the playoffs. Kalamazoo will advance to the North Finals to face Port Huron. Port Huron 5, Michigan 2 (Port Huron wins series, 3-1) Michigan jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, but the Fighting Falcons stormed back to score the last five goals of the game to advance to the North Finals where they will face Kalamazoo. Martin Gruse and Michael Economos gave the Warriors a 2-0 lead, but two goals from Kody Polin and others from Nico Sierra, Mike Moroso and Ian Miller secured the win for Port Huron. Max Milosek picked up with win in relief of Peter Megariotis, stopping all 25 shots. Wenatchee 2, Alaska 1 (OT) (Wenatchee wins series, 3-2) Evan Schmidbauer scored just his second goal of the season on a loose rebound to give Wenatchee a 2-1 win and advance them to the West Division Finals where they will take on the Fairbanks Ice Dogs. Greg Lewis, who made his second straight start in goal for the Wild, made 30 saves in the win. Wenatchee scored first in regulation on a goal from Blake Roubos, but that was answered just 15 seconds later by Alaska’s Wehebe Darge. Austin 3 Alexandria 2 (Austin wins series, 3-1) With less than two minutes to go in the game, Nolan Kirley tucked home a rebound past Jacob Meyers to send the Bruins to the Central Division Finals with a 3-2 win over the Blizzard.

After a scoreless 1st period, the Bruins erupted for two goals in the 2nd period from Brandon Wahlin and Charlie Adams. Dylan Zink and Tucker Coborn scored in the 3rd period for Alexandria to tie the game at 2-2 before Kirley’s heroics. Tyler Bruggeman made 38 saves in the win.

Bismarck 5, Aberdeen 3 (Bismarck wins series, 3-1) Aaron Nelson made 41 saves and Castan Sommer and Adam Knochenmus each scored twice to give the Bobcats a 5-3 win and a trip to the Central Division Finals, where they will face Austin. Knochenmus opened the scoring

with the lone 1st period goal. After Joseph Sullivan tied the game for the Wings, Bismarck rattled off four straight goals including two from Sommer, one more from Knochenmus and another from Dan Zawacki. Two late goals from Justin Parizek and another from Sullivan weren’t enough for the Wings. St. Louis 3, Coulee Region 1 (St. Louis wins series, 3-0) The Bandits finally allowed a goal, but that would be all the entire series as they scored the final three goals of the game en route to their 3-1 win in Coulee Region as they advanced to the Midwest Division Finals. Joe Kalisz scored twice and Rance Hughes had the other goal for the Bandits. Ross Luedtke scored the lone Chill goal in their season finale. Tyler Green picked up with win with 30 saves. Fairbanks 3, Kenai River 2 (Fairbanks wins series, 3-0) Fairbanks swept the series and will continue on to the West Division Finals where they will face the Wenatchee Wild. Fairbanks started hot, as they outshot Kenai River 17-4 in the first period, which resulted in a 2-0 score. Gabe Levin and Rudy Sulmonte put the puck in the net for those first two scores. With the score 3-1 in the closing minutes of the game, Kenai River had nothing to lose, and so goalie Austin Severson was pulled in favor of an extra attacker. Sean Muller managed to sneak the puck past Ice Dogs goalie Steve Perry with just seven seconds left in the game, although it was all for naught.

NAHL Shatters Attendance Records In 2011-12 Contributed Article NAHL Press Release

FRISCO, TEXAS — They say that things get better with age. 36 years ago the then-Great Lakes Junior Hockey League was surviving as a rugged five-team circuit in Michigan and Ohio. It would have been hard to believe back then that fans would one day flock in the tens of thousands to catch a glimpse of what then an unknown and trailblazing idea in the United States called ‘junior’ hockey. 36 years later, fans saw plenty of North American Hockey League (NAHL) action from all over the country as the league set new and groundbreaking records for both total and average attendance this year. During the 2011-12 season, the NAHL welcomed a record 1,128,098 fans to see a total of 840 regular season league games in 28 cities. It also included the thousands of fans that came to see the NAHL Showcase this past September in Blaine, Minn., in where each NAHL team played four regular season games. So what was behind the record-setting numbers? The NAHL had a record number of teams (28) this past season, however the league average of 1,342 fans per game was also a NAHL record, further proving that the growth of the NAHL and its surrounding communities is evident. A closer

look revealed that not only is the product on the ice more entertaining than ever because of the talented pool of players, but teams are working harder than ever to establish that personal connection with their fans and their communities. NAHL Commissioner Mark Frankenfeld believes that the players that are developing within the league are the key to growing the sport within the NAHL’s footprint, which spreads across 14 states. “Our teams have done a tremendous job of promoting our game and the players play with an exuberance and passion that translates into a competitive atmosphere on the ice,” said Frankenfeld. “I think fans enjoy the family fun entertainment and the ability to be up close and part of clubs and players with their community-based initiatives. Not only does the NAHL provide players with an opportunity to develop their hockey careers and advance to the next level, but it also provides fans in the respective NAHL communities a very exciting and entertaining product to watch.” The Fresno Monsters, who ranked No. 1 in overall in team attendance with 106,718 fans, saw a spike at the turnstiles this season. They averaged 3,557 fans, a better attendance average than some NCAA Division I programs enjoy. It was something that Fresno Governor David White

said that was based upon an increased involvement with the community and focus on entertainment. “We have invested more time in the community as an organization, getting people to see their first ever live hockey game this past season. This has resulted in more repeat attendees enjoying our great sport in action,” remarked White. “Our game day staff engages the audience, and our games are fast-paced and present a skill level that our fans have seemed to have accepted and enjoyed.” The South Division was the biggest draw for NAHL fans this year. Six of the top 10 teams in overall attendance were from the South. South Division member Corpus Christi finished second overall with 91,678 fans total and 3,055 on average. The Odessa Jackalopes, who were new to the NAHL this season after spending the past 14 seasons in the professional ranks, actually averaged more fans this season as a junior team (2,880) than they did last season as a professional franchise. Odessa General Manager Joe Clark said once fans got out to a game to see the product and identify with the players, it was something that grew on the community. “It was a big challenge at first because we had to introduce the NAHL brand and style

of hockey to the fans. I think the die-hards understood that the product was exciting, but we had to show the rest of the community that these players are the stars of tomorrow with their whole hockey future ahead of them,” said Clark. “As the season went on and our team got better and better, fans really started to grasp what the league was about and what the goals were for the players. The Odessa/Midland area is very a tight community and when they see the team giving back to the community and being a part of it, they want to be a part of that. It takes a lot of work and volunteers who are dedicated to help get it done.” Perhaps no team is more popular in their community than the defending Robertson Cup Champion, Fairbanks Ice Dogs. When it comes to selling out their building, no one in the league may do it better or more often. Out of the 28 home games played at the Big Dipper Ice Arena this season, 24 of them were sold out or played at capacity, including the Ice Dogs annual outdoor game, which was played at a balmy 10 degrees outside. Ice Dogs General Manager Rob Proffitt says the connection with the hometown fans is the primary reason for the support on a game-by-game basis. “Each hockey game is an event for our community. I think when the team won the National Championship

last season, everyone felt like it was our fans championship too,” said Proffitt. “I think they also enjoy seeing players that will have a future in the NCAA and maybe even pro hockey. The product on and off the ice has gotten better each season. We get great support from the community and the surrounding military who really enjoy the fact that it is one of the more entertaining things to do in our area.” It was just two years ago when the Aberdeen Wings began playing in the NAHL. Since then, the Odde Ice Center has been the home of the Wings and their thousands of fans. On any given night more than 1,300-plus people fill the stands to capacity and the fans are considered some of the most passionate in the league. It has worked out so well, that the city and Wings have doubled their youth program and are trying to expand the arena. “Our city is still discovering how exciting NAHL hockey is,” said Wings Governor/ Owner Greg Odde. “Games are such a great event for young and old alike and we have a very passionate fanbase. You can truly tell that they love this team as a part of their community.” The Austin Bruins have resurrected hockey in their area of Southeast Minnesota to where it has now become an event for their fans. The Bruins shattered their single-game

Springfield Jr. Blues to defeat the Janesville Jets on Sunday at the Janesville Ice Arena in what was the final game of the opening round of the 2012 NAHL Robertson Cup Playoffs. With the win, Springfield advances to the Midwest Division Finals where they will face the St. Louis Bandits in a best of five series. The 1st period was a carbon copy of most of the games between these two teams — up and down the ice and with plenty of speed. The Jets outshot the Blues 10-5 during period one, but both defenses held up to the task and there was no score going into the first intermission. There were no penalties called in the second period, and while the Jets continue to put more shots on goal than do the Jr. Blues, the score after two complete periods was still scoreless. The Blues played a much better second period, but the defensive struggle continued to be the highlight of the game through the first two stanzas. Chris Sitler finally lit the lamp at 1:02 of the third period on an assist by Kyle Cook. Cook won an offensive zone face-off and got the puck to Sitler, who moved into the slot and snapped home a shot over Kujava’s right blocker for the only goal of the game. Gabe Antoni and the Jr. Blues defense made the lead hold as the remainder of the game with an efficient display of team defense. Kujava made 17 saves in the loss, while Antoni stopped all 21 shots for the win. Amazing, neither team was whistled for a penalty in the game, evident that neither team wanted to make a mistake that could cost them the game and the series.

attendance record (1,989) earlier this season with their annual Pink in the Rink game and they increased their average attendance over 25% this year to average over 1,000 fans per game. “Being a part of the Austin community is everything to the Bruins and ultimately we feel like it is the community’s team, not an individual’s,” said Craig Patrick, Governor/Owner of the Bruins. “We made over 100 school visits this season and those kids they talk to and see at the schools then identify with the players and want to see them at the games. Our players make it a point to be approachable at the games and talk to fans. It also helps that the NAHL is very good hockey and entertaining.” It’s clear that the common theme to the NAHL’s success this season with their fans is two-fold. Credit certainly rests with the talented group of over 600 players, who sacrifice and put it on the line for 60-plus games a season. It also would not be possible for the support of the fans of the NAHL communities. NAHL hockey is entertaining, fun and most of all, one that the fans can connect and identify with. So here is a big ‘thank you’ from the NAHL to our fans, players and teams for setting the foundation and their continued support of the North American Hockey League, the league of opportunity.

Barry Bonds Among Potential Witnesses To Testify Against Clemens

Contributed Article Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Prosecutors said they might call former baseball players Barry Bonds and Jose Canseco, current baseball commissioner Bud Selig and New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman as witnesses in the Roger Clemens perjury case. The defense said it might call former Clemens teammates Paul O'Neill, Jorge Posada and Mike Stanton, and baseball writer Peter Gammons. Those were among the more than 100 potential witnesses read Monday on the first day of jury selection in Clemens' new trial, with a larger prosecution team taking on the famed pitcher following last year's embarrassing mistrial. The government will again try to prove Clemens lied to Congress when he said he never used performance-enhancing drugs. The legendary former pitcher, who famously reveled in staring down hitters, will face a prosecution lineup of five lawyers — more than double the two from the first trial. In court Monday, Clemens, wearing a gray suit, stood to acknowledge the jurors.

Last July, U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton declared a mistrial on only the second day of testimony, after prosecutors showed jurors evidence that had been ruled inadmissible. Walton also will preside over the new trial, which is expected to last four weeks to six weeks. Walton posed 86 screening questions to the 90 prospective jurors, including, "Do you have any opinions about Major League Baseball — good, bad or whatever." He also asked them if they had any thoughts on Congress' investigating steroid use in sports Clemens swiveled his chair to look at the potential jurors during the questions. Later, during a recess, he flipped through some papers, writing notes occasionally. The Clemens team won't be outgunned.

Michael McCann, a law professor and director of the sports law institute at Vermont Law School, said it was unusual to have so many prosecutors "for a perjury case that isn't terribly complicated." Prosecutors know that some potential jurors might object to spending too much money on the case because Walton advised them last year that some of the original jurors thought it would be a waste of money to retry Clemens. McCann said the department has extra motivation to convict Clemens, given the

Muamba Released From Hospital One Month After Near-Fatal Collapse

Contributed Article Associated Press

LONDON — Fabrice Muamba was discharged Monday from the hospital where the Bolton midfielder had been treated since collapsing from a cardiac arrest during a game less than a month ago. Muamba had been in the London Chest Hospital since March 17. His heart stopped beating on its own for 78 minutes while doctors worked to resuscitate him and his prospects of survival were uncertain. But Muamba recovered remarkably quickly, leaving his bed just nine days after collapsing. "I am naturally very pleased to be discharged from hospital and would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to every single member of staff at The London Chest Hospital who have played a part in my care," Muamba said. "Their dedication, professionalism and expertise is simply amazing and I will forever be in their debt. I also wish to say thank you to all the many well-wishers who have sent

thousands of messages of support. "Now I am out of hospital, I am looking forward to continuing my recovery and spending precious time with my family." It is still unclear whether Muamba will be able to play professionally again. "It is absolutely fantastic news that Fabrice has been discharged from hospital and everyone at the club is delighted," Bolton manager Owen Coyle said in a joint

statement by the club and the hospital. "It is important that Fabrice and his family are now given time and space to be together." Muamba collapsed just before halftime of Bolton's FA Cup quarterfinal at Tottenham. Medics tried to revive Muamba for 48 minutes before he arrived at the east London hospital. It took another 30 minutes, after 15 shocks from a defibrillator, before the player's heart started beating again on its own.

Korir, Cherop Lead Kenyan Sweep At Boston Marathon

Contributed Article Associated Press

BOSTON — Wesley Korir, a Kenyan citizen and permanent resident of the United States, won the Boston Marathon on Monday in a heat-slowed time of 2 hours, 12 minutes, 40 seconds that was more than five minutes behind the world best established a year ago by Geoffrey Mutai. It was the second-slowest Boston race since 1985, as temperatures rising into the 80s slowed the leaders and may have convinced as many as 4,300 entrants to sit this one out. Mutai, who was hoping a repeat victory would earn him a spot on the Kenyan Olympic team, dropped out after 18 miles with cramps. Sharon Cherop won the women's race to complete the Kenyan sweep, outsprinting

Jemima Jelagat Sumgong to win by 2 seconds in 2:31:50. The women's race was decided by a sprint down Boylston Street for the fifth consecutive year. Korir was the 19th Kenyan men's winner in 22 years. But he is hardly typical of the African runners who have come to dominate the event since Greg Meyer became the last American winner in 1983. A two-time winner of the Los Angeles Marathon, Korir attended college at Murray State — the Racers, naturally — before transferring to Louisville and graduating from the school with a biology degree. He is hoping to receive American citizenship within a few years. A total of 22,426 runners started Monday's race in Hopkinton in temperatures expected to be as high as 84 by

the time the last of them finish their 26.2-mile trek to Boston's Back Bay. That's about 84 percent of the registered field of almost 27,000, with many of the no-shows expected to take race organizers up on their offer for a deferment into next year's race. The largely unprecedented offer was issued in response to forecasts that called for temperatures rising from 69 at the start to 81 by the midpoint. The heat didn't seem to be a problem for Canadian Joshua Cassidy, who won the men's wheelchair race in a time of 1 hour, 18 minutes, 25 seconds that is the fastest in history. American Shirley Reilly edged Japan's Wakako Tsuchida during a sprint to the finish in the women's wheelchair division. But the runners were content to pace themselves.

amount of money spent on the case and the underwhelming outcome of its more-thanseven-year investigation of Bonds over steroids. Bonds, baseball's career home run leader, was found guilty last year on just one count, obstruction of justice, for giving an evasive answer to a grand jury when asked about drug use. He received a sentence of 30 days confinement at his estate in Beverly Hills. Prosecutors dropped three other counts charging Bonds with making false statements after the jury deadlocked on those charges. Bonds has appealed his conviction. "For the government to lose

this case after obtaining a very mild victory against Bonds," McCann said, "would invite a lot of questions about the appropriateness of these prosecutions." In addition, the Justice Department recently closed, without bringing any charges, an expensive two-year, multi-continent investigation of possible drug use by Lance Armstrong, the cyclist who beat cancer and won the Tour de France seven straight times. The essence of the Clemens case remains the same: The seven-time Cy Young Award winner is charged with perjury, false statements and obstruction of Congress for telling a House committee under oath, in both a public hearing and in a deposition with committee staff, that he hadn't used steroids or human growth hormone during his 24-season career. The key witness for the government will be Clemens' former strength trainer, Brian McNamee, who says he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone, and even kept the used needles that will be entered as scientific evidence at trial. Clemens' lawyers will seek to discredit McNamee, who

provided drugs to several professional baseball players and has acknowledged he hasn't always told the truth about Clemens' drug use and other matters. McNamee initially denied giving Clemens drugs, before admitting to federal agents he injected the pitcher. The defense team has said that the trainer fabricated the evidence. Harder to discredit will be another prosecution witness, Andy Pettitte, a former Clemens teammate who recently came out of retirement to mount a comeback attempt with the Yankees. Pettitte says that Clemens, in a private conversation in 1999 or 2000, acknowledged using HGH. Clemens has said Pettitte "misremembers" their conversation. If convicted on all six charges, Clemens faces a maximum sentence of up to 30 years in prison and a $1.5 million fine. Maximum penalties are unlikely because Clemens doesn't have a criminal record, but Walton made plain at the first trial that Clemens was at risk of going to jail. Under U.S. sentencing guidelines, Clemens probably would face up to 15 months to 21 months in prison.

Black: Sabres Moving Forward With Ruﬀ, Regier By John Wawrow Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Quickly putting aside the disappointment of missing the playoffs, the er Buffalo Sabres are already turning their focus to how to improve next season. - And those plans include moving forward with k general manager Darcy Regier and coach Lindy Ruff, Sabres president Ted Black told The Associated Press by phone Wednesday. n ed “I'm still going to lay in bed still trying to think aid `What if?''' Black said, referring to how the eir Sabres second-half surge to make the playoffs ended with a 2-1 loss at Philadelphia on Thursday. “Next year started on Friday. ... As ges, management, we're moving forward. “There's no time to wallow in the misery.'' n In providing management's first comments since the Sabres' offseason began, Black particularly cleared up any lingering questions l regarding Regier and Ruff 's futures by saying lainboth will be back. The two, who have been ns working together in Buffalo since 1997, have been criticized in the media this past week and blamed for the Sabres finishing ninth in the bly Eastern Conference standings. s to That's not what was expected from a team that in September was considered a bona fide playoff contender after new owner Terry Pegula backed a significant offseason spending spree to add talent. Aside from acquiring three

veterans through trades and free last summer, the Sabres also re-signed several core players to lucrative contracts. That moves included re-signing defenseman Tyler Myers to a seven-year, $38.5 million contract extension that kicks in next season. Black vowed the Sabres will continue their aggressive approach this offseason, starting at the

draft in June. The Sabres have two first- and two second-round picks, giving them options to add talent by trading or using the picks. “We'll see what Darcy and the team will be able to do with those assets,'' Black said. Regier has been criticized for being too patient in making changes to his roster, particularly during the Sabres' low point of last season.

That was during a mid-November to lateJanuary slump in which Buffalo went 9-19-5 while also setting a franchise low by losing 12 straight road games. The Sabres eventually responded by going on a 20-8-6 run to close the season. That wasn't enough for a team that's now missed the playoffs for the third time in five years. Pegula, in January, blamed the team's woes on a rash of injuries. And Sabres officials have defended Regier by noting how swiftly he acted in acquiring and then signing defenseman Christian Ehrhoff over a two-day stretch in June before the veteran was scheduled to become a free agent. Regier also earned praise in February, when he addressed the team's biggest need at center, by acquiring rookie Cody Hodgson in a trade with Vancouver. “You look at our track record since Terry got here,'' Black said, referring to the team's objective to build a winner. “Fans, I think, should expect more of the same.'' Black said the most significant benefit that came out of last year was how the high-priced additions the Sabres made helped transform Buffalo's small-market and cost-conscious reputation into a hockey destination among players. “That is intrinsically tied to the passion Terry Pegula has for this city and franchise,'' Black said.

Shaw Shelved For Three

CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Blackhawks rookie forward Andrew Shaw was suspended for three games Tuesday for his hit on Phoenix goalie Mike Smith in Game 2 of their opening-round playoff series that is tied at one game apiece. Shaw was at a morning practice Tuesday before the suspension was announced, several hours before Game 3 in Chicago. Smith was behind the net going after the puck when Shaw came skating in and his

shoulder caught the goaltender in the head, knocking him to the ice. Smith was able to get up after about five minutes and stayed in the game. Smith did not practice Monday but was at a Tuesday morning skate with his status for Game 3 a game-time decision. Shaw got a five-minute game misconduct for the incident. NHL disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan said Shaw's contact with Smith was not incidental and that the rookie didn't make a reasonable effort to avoid Smith. ''It is a forceful blow delivered by Shaw's shoulder to Smith's chin,'' Shanahan said. ''This is

not a case of a skater and goaltender colliding while pursuing a loose puck. Shaw skated a considerable distance and hits the head of the stationary goaltender who has possession of the puck.'' The 20-year-old Shaw, who was playing on an effective third line with Dave Bolland and Bryan Bickell, appeared in 37 regular-season games and scored 12 goals with 11 assists. He was averaging 13:27 of ice time in the first two playoff games. Shaw said during a phone hearing Monday that he tried to make a point that he did not intentionally hit Smith. ''It was more of how I didn't

have enough time to get out of the way,'' Shaw said Tuesday before the suspension was announced. ''I let them know that next time I'll go in there with more control. ... But it happens in a split second, so it's hard to think that fast.'' Shaw would be eligible to return for a Game 6.

Adams To Sit Game 4

NEW YORK (AP) — Pittsburgh Penguins forward Craig Adams has been suspended by the NHL for Game 4 of their playoff series against Philadelphia for instigating a fight. Penguins coach Dan Bylsma also was fined $10,000 on

Monday for the same fight. Adams went after Flyers forward Scott Hartnell late in the third period of Game 3. Hartnell was involved in an altercation with Sidney Crosby when Adams intervened. He yanked Hartnell's hair and the two started fighting. Adams was assessed a minor penalty for instigating, a major penalty for fighting and a game misconduct. The Flyers lead the best-ofseven series 3-0 entering Wednesday's Game 4 in Philadelphia.

Brognano Tosses No-Hitter URI Completes Series Sweep Of Bonnies With Shutout Win Contributed Article In Return To Hometown St. Bonaventure Sports Information

Contributed Article Fredonia Sports Information

NEW PALTZ, N.Y. — It was a successful homecoming for Fredonia State pitcher Alyssa Brognano and her teammates Saturday afternoon. Returning to her native New Paltz for the first time as a collegian, Brognano pitched a five-inning no-hitter as the Blue Devils rolled to a 9-0 win over the New Paltz Hawks in the first game of a SUNYAC doubleheader. The Blue Devils swept the doubleheader when Jessica Lauck ripped a two-out, RBI single in the eighth inning and Jennifer Tighe pitched five scoreless innings of relief. Fredonia State improved to 14-12-1 overall and 5-7 in the SUNYAC. The losses dropped the Hawks to 10-16 overall, 4-6 in the conference. The Blue Devils got off the bus swinging in the first game as the first seven batters all had hits. The half-inning ended with the Blue Devils leading 7-0 before New Paltz had a chance to face Brognano. Brognano, a graduate of Chapel Field Christian in Pine Bush, N.Y., where she once pitched a perfect game, helped her own cause with two key defensive plays. After walking the first batter and hitting the second with a pitch, New Paltz's Melissa Liotta looped a short pop fly between the pitcher's circle and third base. Brognano and third baseman Lauren Larson both went for the ball and collided. Brognano caught the ball while falling to the ground. The runner at second was already on her way to third and was an easy out for a double play. The second key play was bunt in front of the mound in the fourth inning. Brognano came quickly toward home and fired to second baseman Brittany

Lis covering the bag at first to retire the hitter on a bangbang play. While New Paltz's native daughter was shining in the field, Fredonia's own Anne Wasik and Katie Bartkowiak shined at the plate. Both went 4 for 4 — Wasik with two doubles and two runs scored, Bartkowiak with one double. In addition, Tina Schwartzmeyer had two doubles and three RBI. New Paltz was the team to start quickly in the second game. The Hawks took a 3-0 lead in the last of the first inning, yet would not score another run off Tighe and starting pitcher Ashley LaPorta. The Blue Devils made it 3-2 in the second inning on a walk to Lauren Larson, a double by Lattner, and a two-out hit by Gabrielle Ciccarello. The tying run came in the fifth on a single by Lis, a sacrifice by Lauck, and a two-out infield single by Wasik. The winning rally began with a one-out walk by Lattner. After Lis walked to put runners on first and second with two outs, Lauck singled down the right-field line. Tighe nailed down the win with a scoreless eighth inning. She allowed two hits, no walks, and struck out five to improve to 3-3. The Blue Devils are idle until next Saturday when they travel to Buffalo State for two games starting at noon.

Pole-Vaulters Lead Fredonia At Bucknell Contributed Article Fredonia Sports Information

LEWISBURG, Pa. – Senior pole-vaulter Broncho Rollins won his event Sunday at the Bucknell Bison Outdoor Classic. Rollins defeated 25 other vaulters from the three NCAA divisions by clearing 4.95 meters, which converts to a school-record 16' 2 ¼”. He broke his own record set. Other Blue Devils to record SUNYAC consideration times during the two-day meet were: Nick Watson, a freshman middle distance runner, was one of three Blue Devils to lower his personal-best time in the 1,500 meters. He finished in 4:03.19, a personal improvement of about 4.5 seconds in the event. Joining him were freshman Zack Hess and sophomore Steven Whittemore. Hess improved by 4.5 seconds with a time of 4:03.22, while Whittemore made a 5.0 second improvement with a time of 4:06.66. Watson also improved his SUNYAC consideration time in the 800 meters with a personal-best 1:55.62. In addition, sophomore Nico Piacentini improved in two events — the 3,000-meter steeplechase (9:49) and the 400-meter intermediate hurdles (:57.50), Chris Shartrand, a freshman,

made a 19-second improvement in the 5,000 meters. His time was 15:34.60. Also, senior Webster Thomas lowered his SUNYAC consideration time in the 200 meters to 22.01 seconds. The largest improvement of the weekend was by junior Jack Bennett (LeRoy) with a time of 32:51 in the 10,000 meters. Bennett's previous best in the event was 35:17. It was a solid day for the women’s team as well. They tied the women's outdoor pole vault record and ran the second-fastest 4-by-100 meter relay time in program history to highlight their day at the Outdoor Classic. Sophomore pole-vaulter Kelci Yousett cleared 3.25 meters, converted to 10'8”. Yousett tied Chelsea Caruso, who vaulted the same height last spring. In addition, the quartet of senior Melissa Cummiskey, sophomore Lexi Perez, freshman Sarah Kalish, and sophomore Erin Parker improved their SUNYAC consideration time in the 4-by-100. Their time of 50.28 seconds is the second fastest in program history. Perez also sprinted a personal-best 13.25 seconds in the 100 meters to improve her SUNYAC consideration time, while sophomore Kimberly Foltz had a personal-best and SUNYAC consideration time of 2:22.18 in the 800 meters.

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — A six-run, two-out rally in the top of the 4th and a five-run 7th inning by Rhode Island (21-14, 9-3 Atlantic 10 Conference) proved too much for St. Bonaventure (13-15, 2-7 A-10) to overcome as the Rams swept the three-game series with a 13-0 win Sunday afternoon at Fred Handler Park. Rhode Island starter Sean Furney carried a no-hitter into the 6th inning before a line drive right back up the middle by Nick Brennen broke up the bid. The junior right hander shut down the A-10's best-hitting team, limiting Bonaventure to just two hits over his seven shutout innings. The Bonnies entered the game as the only team in the league hitting over .300, but that dropped from .303 to .296. Senior right fielder Ryan Skellie and junior left fielder Eric Jutca picked up Bonaventure's lone other hits as the Bonnies were out-hit on the afternoon, 16-3.

The Bonnies were unable to keep the A-10's top team, Rhode Island, off the scoreboard this past weekend as the Rams hammered out 37 runs in the three-game series. (St. Bonaventure Sports Information)

Redshirt senior Cael Johnson (1-5) started for Bonaventure and took the loss, marking his fifth consecutive defeat. Johnson lasted just five innings, allowing six runs, walking four and striking out three. The Frewsburg, N.Y. native has not won since starting the campaign with a victory in SBU's second game of the season Feb. 25 against Western Michigan. He was relieved by his younger brother, Asa Johnson, who tossed two innings and allowed seven runs, before giving way to

junior Jason Radwan who threw two shutout frames. Radwan saw his streak of reaching base safely in all 27 games this season come to an end in an 0-for-4 effort at plate. Radwan — who also had a mini six-game hitting streak halted — had reached base either via a hit or walk in every contest for the Bonnies this year. The Bonnies allowed doublefigure runs in each game of an A-10 series for the first time since the final set of the 2009 season, May 14-16, against Charlotte in which

Bona lost two of three. URI scored 12 runs in each of the first two games of the series. The game, originally scheduled for a 12:00 p.m. start, began at 12:30 due to rain. The first three innings were played in light to moderate rainfall before skies cleared later in the game. The Bonnies return to action on the road next weekend for a three-game A-10 series at George Washington. The set gets underway Friday at 4 p.m. from GW's recently renovated Barcroft Park in Arlington, Va.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The St. Bonaventure softball team (14-16, 4-6 Atlantic 10) dropped both games of a doubleheader on Saturday, as Charlotte (22-19, 6-6) picked up key victories at the D.L. Phillips Complex. The 49ers, sitting two games behind SBU in the conference standings coming in, earned a 5-4 victory on a walk-off single in the 10th inning of the first game, before completing the sweep with a 5-0 whitewash in the finale. Brooke Frey was 3-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored,

as the Bonnies pushed three runs across in their half of the fifth to take a 4-1 lead. The 49ers capitalized on two Bona errors in the bottom half to pull closer, before Brianna Gwaltney's lead off home run in the seventh tied the game. The Bonnies avoided a basesloaded, two-out jam in the eighth, but Charlotte eventually took the win with Samantha Slade's single up the middle plating the winning run with one out in the tenth. Sophomore Katie Watkins spun a complete-game two hitter in the finale to power the 49ers to a 5-0 win. SBU returns to action on Tuesday to host Canisius for a non-conference doubleheader.

one hit and two hits in the doubleheader. Starting pitcher Zachary Hugg was the losing pitcher. Morris also worked in relief.

The two losses dropped the Blue Devils to 9-16 overall and 3-7 in the SUNYAC heading into a conference game Tuesday vs. Brockport.

Bonnies Season Ends With Loss To Richmond In A-10 Tournament Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

MASON, Ohio — The St. Bonaventure men's tennis team had its season come to a close on Friday in the opening round of the Atlantic 10 Men's Tennis Championship with a 4-0 setback to No. 6 seed Richmond. The 11th-seeded Bonnies could get nothing going against the Spiders, who advanced to the Quarterfinals to face Duquesne.

Bonaventure got its lone win of the match at No. 1 doubles as juniors Oscar Yanez and Luis Guevara teamed up for an 8-3 win over the partnership of Sebastian Fauchet and Jesse Feder. However, Richmond claimed victories at No. 2 and No. 3 to claim the doubles point. In singles action, Richmond won matches at the No. 1, No. 3 and No. 5 positions — with the win at No. 1 sealing the victory for the Spiders, 4-0. Matches are typically played to a best-of-seven format;

however, in tournament play once a winner has been determined (Richmond with four of the seven wins) play is stopped with the remaining matches going unfinished. RICHMOND 4, ST.

NFL Unveils 2012 Schedule; Bills To Host Thursday Night Game

Star Sports Editor

The National Football League announced its schedule for the upcoming 2012 season on a three-hour long special on ESPN Tuesday night. Of course, the highlight — for local fans at least — is the Buffalo Bills schedule. With a slight change in the rules, every team has to play a Thursday night game this year, and because of that, there was some hope the Bills might finally land a home night game at Ralph Wilson Stadium. That turned to fruition, as the Bills will host the Miami Dolphins in Week 11 on Thursday, Nov. 15 with kickoff slated for 8:20 p.m. It is the first home night game for the Bills since Dec. 3 2009 — also the franchise’s last night game — when the Bills played the New York Jets on a Thursday night. Of course that was only a home game according to the scoreboard; it was played at the Rogers Centre in Toronto. The Bills last night game at Ralph Wilson Stadium was actually all the way back in 2008, when Buffalo hosted Cleveland on Monday night. The Bills lost when Rian Lindell’s game-winning field goal was missed.

But, back to 2012. The Bills are actually home for four of their last five games — including the Toronto game — and open and close their season with a key divisional rival. They open Sept. 9 against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. The Bills actually played there twice last season (against both the Jets and Giants) and lost both games. The Bills haven’t beaten the Jets on the road since 2009. Buffalo’s home opener will be Week 2 against the Kansas City Chiefs, a team they demolished in their season opener last season, on Sept. 16. Last year, Buffalo beat K.C. 41-7 and also won their opener 3835 against Oakland. From there, Buffalo meets up with an old, familiar foe when they travel to Cleveland to play the Browns on Sept. 23. The teams frequently play each other because they usually finish in the same place in their division — last. Under current NFL scheduling rules, you will play every single team in your conference that finishes in the same position in the standings as you. Week 4 brings the New England Patriots to town on Sept. 30. The Bills ended the excruciating 15-game losing streak to the Pats last year, also at home, also in Buffalo’s second home game of the year. Cer-

tainly, Buffalo would like to start a new streak of beating New England at home. Buffalo is then off for two big road games in Week 5 (San Francisco) and Week

6 (Arizona). The Bills were moderately successful with NFC West teams the last time around, which came in 2008. They went 1-1 on consecutive road games (in Week 4-5)

against west coast teams that season with a big win over St. Louis before getting dismantled in Arizona. The Bills are back at home in Week 7, their last game before the bye week, as they host Tennessee Oct. 21. Of course the Bills hosted the Titans last year as well, and lost 23-17, sending Buffalo to its fifthstraight loss. Buffalo’s off during Week 8 and will won’t see the friendly confines of the Ralph for a few weeks after anyhow. They’re at Houston in Week 9 and at New England in Week 10 for arguably their toughest stretch of the season. The Texans won the AFC South last year and will be the favorites again heading into 2012. Most importantly, it will be the return of former No. 1 draft pick Mario Williams. Williams left Houston for the greener pastures in Buffalo, a phrase which has never been uttered before. Week 10 is New England, a place Buffalo hasn’t won in since — gulp — 2000. Week 11 is the Thursday night game with Miami. Week 12 is Buffalo second last road game and it will be against the league’s worst team last year, Indianapolis. The old AFC East divisional foe doesn’t come around these

BOSTON MARATHON continued from pg 6

n onhe One year after cool temperatures and a significant tailwind — perfect running weather — helped Mutai finish in 2:03:02 for the fastest marathon ever, the heat had elite runners preparing for a slower pace and the recreational runners trying to figure out how to finish at all. The wheelchair racers left Hopkinton at 9:17 under sunny skies and a temperature of 69 degrees, followed by the women's field at 9:32. It was 73 when the elite men and the rest of the field went off at 10 a.m. The total field included 26,716 entrants, but 3,683 never picked up their bib numbers over the weekend. Another 607 who picked up their starting bibs did not show up at the start; they will be offered a chance to run in 2013 instead.

With forecasts of dangerous heat, the Boston Athletic Association warned runners to be alert for signs of heat stroke and dehydration and asked those who were inexperienced or ill to skip this race. The B.A.A. offered a limited deferment in 2010, when the Icelandic volcano eruption stalled air traffic in Europe and prevented about 300 runners from getting to Boston. Five-gallon jugs of water — twice as many as usual, organizers said — were already lining the route early in the morning as volunteers and medical staff stood by preparing for the influx of hot and tired runners. The Boston Marathon has had its share of hot weather, with the thermometer hitting 97 degrees during the 1909 race that came to be known as "The

Inferno" and the 1976 "Run for the Hoses" that started in 100-degree heat and finished with spectators sprinkling winner Jack Fultz with garden hoses to cool him down. Hopkinton residents Ted and Nanda Barker-Hook have been handing out sports drinks, coffee, water, bananas, and sunscreen on the road leading to the starting gate for the past five years. This year, no one was touching the coffee. Those who did show up said they are prepared. "You've got to know your own body," Mike Buenting, of Minneapolis, who has run 10 marathons, said as he waited for the starting gun. "You have to know how to hydrate and the rest will take care of itself."

parts too often anymore, but did play here back in 2009. It was a game Buffalo won 30-7 in Week 17 because Indy didn’t need it. The home stretch — literally and figuratively — begins Week 13 with the first of four home games in Buffalo’s final five contests. It will start with Jacksonville on Dec. 2. The Jaguars have beaten the Bills each of the last two times, including a win at The Ralph in 2010. Buffalo hosts St. Louis in Week 14 in a very unusual nonconference game so late in the season. As mentioned earlier, Buffalo beat St. Louis in their last meeting back in 2008. The only thing more unusual about a non-conference game in Week 14 is another one in Week 15. Buffalo “hosts” Seattle in Toronto on Dec. 16. Sadly, this means Marshawn Lynch won’t return to Buffalo. The final road game of the year comes in Week 16 at the Dolphins two days before Christmas. Bills fans might just be hoping for an early gift against their archrival. Finally, Buffalo ends where it began, with the New York Jets, at home on Dec. 30. And for the second straight year, Tim Tebow will visit Buffalo around Christmas time.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article

Department of Environmental Conservation

Cattaraugus Creek flow bumped up a little following last Wednesday's rain, however the creek remains in ideal condition. Cattaraugus anglers report good catches of drop-back steelhead as well as a few fresh fish. All of the other Lake Erie tributaries have low, clear flows with some steelhead hanging around. Eighteenmile, Canadaway and Chautauqua Creeks are secondary options to Cattaraugus Creek. Anglers can use a variety of baits for spring steelhead, such as egg sacs, egg pattern flies, trout beads, jigs with grubs, stonefly imitations, streamers, minnows and nightcrawlers. When fishing clear conditions, downsize your baits and use small hooks and light tippet to fool finicky steelhead. Some steelhead are actively spawning. Anglers should avoid active spawn-

ers and take care not to disturb redds (gravel nests) as natural reproduction adds to the steelhead fishery. Smallmouth bass have moved into the lower ends of the tributaries. Anglers are catching some bass, however water temps need to come up a little before the bite really turns on. Fly anglers can do well with woolly buggers and minnow imitation patterns, especially emerald shiner patterns. Casting and retrieving stickbaits and crankbaits that imitate baitfish also works well. Keep in mind that bass fishing is by catch and release only, artificial lures only, until May 4. Channel catfish should start moving into the lower sections of Eighteenmile and Cattaraugus Creeks, if not already. Fishing at night with worms, raw shrimp or cut bait on the bottom is a good bet. Lake Erie and Harbors Windy weather has kept yellow

perch anglers off of Lake Erie the last few days. Prior to that, perch action was decent out of Cattaraugus Creek and fair out of Buffalo. Buffalo anglers, target perch in 50-55 feet of water near the international line. Out of Cattaraugus Creek, perch have been caught in 40-65 feet of water, however the better bite has been in 52-57 feet of water. Emerald shiners fished near the bottom are the ticket. Sturgeon Point boat launch is currently closed for dredging. Perch anglers can launch from Buffalo Small Boat Harbor or the Town of Hanover and DEC launches at the mouth of Cattaraugus Creek. Chautauqua Lake The crappie bite has been fair for boaters in the south basin. Anglers catch mostly sub-legal males, with a handful of keepers per outing. In the north basin, crappie catches have also come from the sheltered bays and off Mayville.

Minnows or a small jig (1/32 oz.) tipped with a minnow have worked well. Yellow perch are plentiful and can be taken in good numbers on minnows, when the crappie bite is "off ". Bullhead are available in the canals and from shore at night. Worms, leeches or chicken livers fished on the bottom work well for bullhead. Inland Trout Streams The area's inland trout streams have lower, clear flows, with water temperatures in the mid 40s to mid 50s. Overall trout fishing has been good. Hendricksons and blue-winged olives are hatching well and fly anglers see good surface action when using imitation dry flies. Nymphs and small streamers have also been working well. Productive offerings for spinning anglers include worms, salted minnows and small inline spinners. If you are a catch and release angler and use spinners,

it is a good idea to outfit your spinners with a single hook rather than a treble hook. During the first couple weeks of April, inland trout streams receive the heaviest angler traffic they get all year. Please respect the land, water, fish and each other. Pack out what you bring in and help pick up garbage that the bad apples leave behind. Don't risk losing access to your favorite trout waters. Upper Niagara River Anglers are catching a few rainbow trout near the head of the river; from Bird Island Pier, Broderick Park and the northern tip of Squaw Island. Anglers are picking up a mix of yellow perch, bluegill and crappie in harbor, bay and inlet areas. Emerald shiners are the go-to bait. If bait schools are around, feeding perch and sunfish will be as well. Moving around and hitting a few different locations can improve your take.

Great Fishing Season Continues Across The County By Steve Peacock Star Outdoors Writer

Fishing in Chautauqua County remains very good even though the steelhead run is practically over. Fortunately, they have been replaced by lots of hungry small mouth bass. Some friends of mine have taken full advantage of the early bass run. They have been catching bass in the tributaries since March, but the best bass fishing has been in the lake. The fish taken from the lake seem to be more abundant and are on average larger than the ones in the creeks. The season for small mouths has not opened yet so it is only catch-and-release until the first Saturday of May. Then you can catch one per day that is at least twenty inches or more. This trophy bass season is only for Lake Erie and its tributaries, and it goes until the regular bass season opens for the entire State on the third Saturday in June. Even on a normal year the bass will be gone from the tributaries by June. This year with everything being earlier than normal, I expect the bass to be no different. I personally like to catch bass but I always release them even when the season is open.

If you want good fish to eat then you should go perch fishing. Last weekend the perch were biting really well again. I was busy and could not go so I am hoping for a calm lake next weekend. If not I’ll just go fishing in the Cattaraugus Creek. The fishing is usually pretty good there in the spring. Several species of fish come into the creek to feed or breed. So you really never know what you might pull up next. Steelhead are caught there later in the spring more than any of the other tributaries. This is mainly due to the size and length of it. When they are on their way back to the lake they don’t hang out long so timing is important. Eventually all of the stocked trout from far up

SUSPENSIONS continued from pg 7 man Matt Carkner was given a one-game suspension Sunday for his role in a one-sided fight he started against Rangers forward Brian Boyle just 2:15 into Game 2. Carkner was given a major penalty for fighting, and was ejected. Hagelin's hit on Alfredsson occurred at 10:32 of the second period in the Ottawa end. After Alfredsson moved the puck along the boards, Hagelin landed his elbow on Alfredsson's head, sending him into the glass. “After Alfredsson chips the puck up the boards, Hagelin continues on his path and finishes his check with his arms high, recklessly striking Alfredsson in the side of head with his elbow,'' league disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan said in a video

explanation that accompanied the announcement of the suspension. “This hit is a clear violation of what is defined by NHL rules as elbowing. “It is important to note that while Alfredsson saw this hit coming, and attempted to brace himself for it, in doing so he did not significantly change the position of his head. Also, although Alfredsson's stick briefly comes up prior to contact, we do not feel this is a reasonable excuse for the elbow that took place. It is important to note that Alfredsson suffered an injury on this play. He immediately went to the dressing room and did not return to the game.'' The fact that Hagelin hasn't received a prior fine or suspension during his rookie NHL season prevented this punish-

stream make their way down to the mouth of the creek. They seem to hang out longer than the older fish and that makes for some good fishing. That does not happen until a bit later in the spring. Right now the stocked fish are still close to where they were released. I usually get out once or twice a year for some inland trout stream fishing. This year they stocked a lot less trout in the Chautauqua County streams than they did in some other nearby counties. I think when I do go this year, it will be in Allegany State Park. I have gone there other years and I had great success. I almost always practice catch and release when fishing in those small streams unless the fish is injured. Have fun out there and good luck!

ment from being harsher. Carkner was suspended for “continuing to inflict punishment upon an opponent who was an unwilling combatant in an altercation,'' the NHL said in its announcement. “Carkner instigated an altercation with New York forward Brian Boyle, who did not respond. After knocking Boyle to the ice with two punches, Carkner continued to throw punches at his opponent, who was an unwilling combatant. Carkner's actions classified him as an `aggressor' under NHL rules.'' Carkner, who was a healthy scratch in Game 1, was put into the Game 2 lineup to add more grit to the Senators. He was also given a penalty for instigating.

TEEING OFF

Focus on forms

IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME

Instead of swing mechanics and negative thoughts, at some point in the development of your game, you need to occupy your mind with success images of your swing. Begin by thinking about circles. One way to think about your golf swing is to picture four circles that must be completed, each in their own time. The smallest circle, and the one that finishes first, is the circle or rotation of your hips. The next circle is your shoulders, which is slightly larger than the hips. Following that is the circle of your hands, and it finishes next-to-last, ahead of the largest circle, the clubhead. These four circles must be completed in that order. Your clubhead, hands and body don’t really transcribe exact circles, but the point is clear: To keep everything on its appointed arc of rotation, in sync and on time, the circles must be allowed to do their thing. This is what I call “form learning.” Instead of focusing on swing mechanics, I ask students to tap into the power of the form. “Form-ulate” and “calculate” are different levels of recognition. Most golfers focus on learning swing mechanics (calculations) versus the pure form of the swing itself. In his book “The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat,” Oliver Sacks discovered this form power in two idiot savant twins who were so disabled they could not calculate 2 times 8, but they could formulate at a very high level: “A box of matches on their table fell, and discharged its contents on the floor: ‘111,’ they both cried simultaneously ... I counted the matches — it took me some time — and there were 111. ‘How could you count the matches so quickly?’ I asked. ‘We didn’t count,’ they said, ‘we saw the 111.’” Unencumbered by normal mechanics, the twins embraced the form of 111, i.e., “111ness,” instead of calculating it. Perhaps we all have such wondrous powers running sub rosa, but they are obscured by the exigencies of survival — to be kept safe from matches and their fire, there is little use in knowing the form 111-ness. Savants have had the normal human powers used to navigate the world ripped away by disease or a cruel roll of the DNA dice, leaving the lone power that remains free to dominate by default. While you must learn the tangible mechanics of the swing, such as grip and weight shift, you must play the game by allowing forms to cue up your motor responses.

Trigger finger points to great putting Putting on the pro tours demands mastery of a stroke with greater control and a more sensitive touch than the average golfer uses because the greens are so slick and unforgiving. The traditional putting grip in the photo here is where it starts. The index finger of this player’s left hand is pointing at the ground as a cue to start the putter head moving straight back away from the ball. This helps ensure that his left wrist does not cup more than it started with at address. The key to this stroke is the right index finger, which is curled into a trigger. This is the feel center, and the golfer gets his go signal as he monitors the pressure point of his right “trigger”finger. The putting stroke is initiated by a rocking motion of the elbows on the backswing where the left elbow moves downward and the right moves up. On the way to impact, the right elbow straightens a tad, creating a piston-type stroke where the clubface points directly at the target even after the ball is long gone. This action causes the clubhead to rise significantly because the butt end of the club remains pointed at his belt buckle, where it was at address.

failed to break par in all four rounds, recording his highest ever 72-hole total of 293. He tied for 40th place out of 62 finishers, 15 shots behind Watson. Did I say 15 shots? “Astounding” is the only word that comes close to describing his performance.

Snide remark to make when your opponent’s putt stops just short of the hole. Actually, “Alice” should by “Alliss,” according to Brent Kelley at About.com Golf. The saying has its origin in the singles match between Arnold Palmer and English golfer Peter Alliss at the 1963 Ryder Cup. Alliss left a putt short, and someone in the crowd hollered, “Nice putt, Alliss.”

You may have had pink eye, and you might have gotten the evil eye, but have you ever putted using the quiet eye? If not, science says you should give it a try. Samuel Vine, a researcher at the University of Exeter in the UK, has shown that the following procedure increases putting ability: 1. Shift your gaze back and forth between the hole and the ball. This gives a measure of the distance of the putt as well as the curve. You probably already do this. 2. Next, fix your stare on the back of the ball for two or three seconds. 3. After contact, keep your eyes fixed on the spot where the ball was for at least a half-second. As a teacher, I know there is a big difference between “keeping your head still” and “fixing your gaze on the back of the ball.” The former causes tension and focuses on the body; the latter allows you to relax and stroke the ball. Apparently, this routine allows the millions of neurons used for turning visual information into the movement of your putter to do their job, and any deviations decrease the effectiveness of the stroke. Vine says: “Our research shows that assessing visual control, using state-of-the-art eye trackers, and coaching golfers to use the quiet eye technique can lead to dramatic improvements in putting performance.”

But perhaps the most damaging was the public statement from Earl Woods Jr. (Earl Woods’ son by a previous marriage), claiming Tiger has ignored family pleas to help his half-brother Kevin Woods, who has advanced multiple sclerosis, needs around-the-clock nursing, and is in danger of losing his home in California. “I’d like to (slap) Tiger, wake him up,” Earl Jr. told ESPN’s Rick Riley. “I’d like to say, ‘Don’t come knocking on the door when you need a bone marrow transplant.”

WHAT SCIENCE SAYS

GOLF BY THE NUMBERS

Tiger Woods recorded only two birdies on the four par-5 holes at this year’s Masters. The leader was Brant Snedeker with 11. Phil Mickelson had nine, as did winner Bubba Watson. In 17 previous Masters, Tiger was 133 under par for the par-5s. This year, he

April 19, 2012 Edition – Sports Section – B

Ever since hitting the “hydrant that changed history,” Tiger Woods has been tap dancing on a mind field. He has three big problems he must solve if he is ever to return to dominance: (1) packing it in; (2) lying to himself; (3) playing golf swing, not golf. -- “Packing it in” is a derogatory phrase used when players quit during the round because things aren’t going their way. Tiger never used to do it, but he does now. He quit mid-round while playing poorly at Doral, claiming an injured Achilles tendon, but then played a few days later in the meaningless Tavistock Cup without a trace of a limp. After it became apparent he was out of it on Saturday at the Masters, the camera caught him asking his caddy what time it was, then nodding and smiling as if he was thinking about a postround appointment. He chose not to go to the range after his round, citing tiredness. -- He’s lying to himself. After his 75 in the second round of the Masters, he sounded sincere when he said: “I was so close to putting it together. I just didn’t take care of the opportunities when I had them.” But Tiger wasn’t even close to swinging well, and he had few opportunities to take advantage of, unless you count pitch-ins and

30-foot curlers. -- Tiger is making the same mistake as a weekend hacker, focusing too much on his swing and not enough on the game. He blamed his collapse in the 2011 PGA Championship on thinking too little about swing mechanics — yes, too little. “I went ahead and played by feel,” Tiger said. “It cost me the whole round.” It’s painful watching Tiger take multiple practice swings and then back off as if trying to hack a clear path through the buzzing confusion of swing thoughts in his head. His dream golf game has become a nightmare where he’s stranded in the middle of a minefield. He can’t go forward to his new swing, and he can’t go back to his old. One false step and his round blows up on him. He can’t think his way out, and he can’t simply make a mad dash. What to do? Insider opinion: Tiger doesn’t need to remember all the swing stuff; he needs to forget it. When Tiger was 6 years old, his father asked him what he thought about while he swung, and Tiger said: “I think about where I want it to go, Daddy.” In “Citizen Kane,” the watchword was “Rosebud”; in “The Graduate,” it was “plastics”; in the Tiger Woods saga, it’s “TARGET.”

Inmates prove their worth in new Hallmark film By Dee Wright TV Media

ome of the greatest films of all time are based on real people and historical events. Films such as “Titanic” (1997) and “Citizen Kane” (1941) take inspiration from the past and extrapolate on the circumstances to create an amazing film. But inspiration doesn’t have to come from the past. Many films in the Hallmark Hall of Fame lineup have been based on real people’s journeys to better themselves and help the world become a better place. Hallmark’s latest film, “Firelight,” was based on real characters, but the story itself was a compilation of many different characters and circumstances that writer Ligiah Villalobos encountered during her research. “Firelight” premieres Sunday, April 22, on ABC. In the film, a counselor at a women’s correctional facility strives to help young women reincorporate themselves back into society. Dwayne Johnson (DJ) sees the good in people and realizes that, with time, a person can change. Cuba Gooding Jr. stars as DJ, who recruits some of the women in the facility to redeem themselves as volunteer firefighters. Many of the women are honestly trying to reform themselves into model citizens and gain retribution

DeWanda Wise stars in “Firelight” for their past misdeeds. They come from backgrounds of abuse, drugs and neglect, which pushed them into lives of crime and poor choices. “Even though society says they’ve done bad things, they’re not bad people,” said Gooding. “They did things in their past that were selfish and self-centered, but they can turn their lives around.” The team of women goes through a grueling training regimen to prove both their strength and their commitment. They follow daily exercise routines and strict diets to keep them at the height of their physical condition, and they have to bond as a group so they know they can trust each other. After their training, they jump from the frying pan and into the fire, so to speak. Though the training was tough, it was minimal compared to the danger and emotion of

JJ Guns 2 x 2”

the real rescues and duties they endure. The teams are trained to deal with forest fires as well as rescue missions and advanced first aid. While the story for “Firelight” is technically fictional, the program in which the women are enrolled is real, and many of the personal stories are true. Several counties in Georgia and California currently use inmates for firefighting and rescue missions. Though the political spectrum is split on the use of prisoners as free labor, there are many success stories that have come from the program. “Seventy per cent of the girls who are in the program do not go back to prison,” explained Villalobos. “Some of them have master’s degrees now, a few of them became paramedics, and many of them went on to be firefighters after they were out of prison.” However, Villalobos explained, it is quite difficult to get into the program. She listed several factors that can eliminate someone’s chances -- attempted escape, poor behavior or a past arson conviction are just a few of the things that can get an inmate crossed off the list of candidates. DJ is the main protagonist of “Firelight.” He acts as a father figure for the young women -- many of whom did not have positive male role models during their youth.

Featurestory ‘Deadliest Catch’ brings reallife adventure to prime time

By Kyla Brewer TV Media

dventure on the high seas has fascinated moviegoers and TV viewers since the dawn of moving pictures, and one Discovery Channel series is proving that it’s still a big draw. There are no swashbucklers or dashing buccaneers, but viewers are hooked on “Deadliest Catch,” which airs Tuesdays on the cable specialty channel. In the show, daring camera operators board crab-fishing boats on the Bering Sea, just off the Alaskan coast, in some of the most dangerous waters in the world. Although the show airs in the spring and summer, it is filmed in the harsh fall and winter, during the Alaskan king crab and opilio crab fishing seasons. Despite the perilous conditions, “Deadliest Catch” has sailed through seven seasons and is now celebrating its eighth, a tremendous feat for any TV series these days, let alone such a gritty, unglamorous one. It’s been a labor of love for those involved, though. “From the very first day it has been a privilege to share this amazing journey with the fishermen of the Bering Sea,” said Thom Beers, executive producer and creator of “Deadliest Catch.” “Everyone at Original Productions is proud to be a part of such a groundbreaking and successful series.” The show has certainly been successful. Since it premiered in 2005, it has become an international hit and now airs in more than 150 countries. It has won seven of the 25 Emmys it has been nominated for -- five of them in 2011 alone.

Freddy Maugatai in “Deadliest Catch” More recently, the show hit its milestone 100th episode mark with this spring’s season premiere. It appears the element of risk is what draws millions to the series. There are no sets or scripts, and the danger seen on the screen is very real, hence the “Deadliest” part of the title. Many people claim that crab fishing in the region is one of the world’s most dangerous occupations. “Deadliest Catch” footage reveals how deckhands struggle to avoid tripping over hazards on already slippery decks, while also facing gale-force winds and massive waves. Mike Rowe of “Dirty Jobs” narrates the series. Crab fishing is so hazardous that the U.S. Coast Guard often shows up in the footage, rescuing crewmembers. In fact, Original Productions stations a camera crew with the coast guard while the show is being filmed. The show goes beyond what happens on the ship to delve into the lives of the remarkable crew-

members that risk life and limb, literally, in the hopes of hauling in a big catch. The real stars, however, are the captains of the featured vessels, which have included the Cornelia Marie, the Wizard, the Northwestern, and the Time Bandit. The captains, such as Northwestern’s Sig Hansen and Time Bandit’s Johnathan Hillstrand, share an entertaining on-screen rivalry. Family ties are also explored as many of those working on the boats are related. Crab-fishing dynasties of note are the Hansen brothers -- Sig and Norm -- on the Northwestern, and the Hillstrand family aboard the Time Bandit. All of these elements combine for riveting television. However, the loss of a captain during the filming in Season 6 has cast a dark shadow on the show’s success. In January 2010, Capt. Phil Harris of the Cornelia Marie suffered a stroke and was airlifted to Anchorage, and cameras continued to roll during his evacuation, reportedly

Fill in the grid so that every row, every column, and every 3x3 box contains the digits 1 through 9. Solution on page 5 at Harris’ insistence. Doctors tried to save the beloved sea captain, but 11 days later he died. The show has persevered, and Season 7 averaged more than three million viewers per episode, and it ranked tops among the nonsports cable programs on Tuesday nights. Computer-savvy viewers can use Twitter to keep up with what others are saying about the show at #DCatch. The eighth season

promises lots to tweet as the crews struggle to make enough to support their families with fishing quotas slashed by almost half, thanks to the downturn in the economy. Captains must figure out how to haul in bigger profits as some consider hunting for the more-elusive blue crab. Also, the crews switch things up as Phil’s sons Jake and Josh join the crews of the Northwestern and the Time Bandit, respectively.

StarsonScreen By Sheila Busteed TV Media LAUGHING AT THE DNC: First

comes the Labor Day weekend, and then comes a week-long labor of laughs at the expense of politicians. Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart” will continue its tradition of providing hilarious alternative coverage of the year’s biggest national political events by traveling to Charlotte, N.C., to report on the 2012 Democratic National Convention. While the convention will take place at the Time Warner Cable Arena and close at the Bank of America Stadium, host Jon Stewart will

cover the convention from a facility primarily known as a children’s library and theater center. Tapings will take place at ImaginOn: The Joe & Joan Martin Center and will air nightly from Tuesday, Sept. 4, to Friday, Sept. 7. More than 125 staff members will accompany Stewart to enjoy the southern hospitality during the week as they offer news clips, analysis and interviews to politically savvy viewers. “Daily Show” news team members, including Samantha Bee, Wyatt Cenac, Al Madrigal, Aasif Mandvi, Jason Jones, Jessica Williams

Jon Stewart takes his “Daily Show” crew to North Carolina for the Democratic National Convention

and John Oliver, will be on the floor at the convention to contribute to Stewart’s studio material. “We are incredibly excited to spend a week in the beautiful city of Charlotte,” said executive producer Rory Albanese. “And to the good people of North Carolina, for their southern hospitality in hosting 125 smart-aleck New Yorkers, we offer in advance our thanks, but most of all, our apologies. Honestly, we didn’t mean to break that, and we promise we’ll pay for it.” Various parts of the convention will be open to the public, or they can alternatively choose to attend the special tapings of “The Daily Show.” However, tickets for those tapings are exclusively available through thedailyshow.com. UNLOCKING THE ‘GATE’: As the American political scene moves full speed ahead toward the next presidential election, Discovery is preparing to take a look at some of the most influential political movers and shakers from the past. It is said that the president is the most powerful person in the country, but without his chiefs of staff, political dreams and goals would never become a reality. Premiering next year, Discovery will air a special series event called “The Gatekeepers,” which will offer an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at various terms of office in recent history through the eyes of those presidents’ closest confidants.

The cabler has put together a top-notch team to run the show, including Emmy-winning documentarians and brothers Gedeon and Jules Naudet, as well as news producer Chris Whipple and White House photographer David Hume Kennerly. Nine administrations will be discussed through interviews with former chiefs of staff Rahm Emanuel, Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, James A. Baker III, Mack McLarty and John Sununu. The crew will also interview former presidents Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush for the special. “When Discovery does history, it’s about great storytelling. That’s

why I am so excited about ‘The Gatekeepers,’” said Discovery’s Eileen O’Neill. “We are working with the best filmmakers in the business, offering the ultimate insider’s guide to the modern presidency.” The Naudet brothers are best known for their 2002 TV special “9/11” -- as well as last year’s followup, “9/11: 10 Years Later” -and 2007’s “In God’s Name.” Whipple previously worked for ABC News and on “What Would You Do” and “60 Minutes,” and he is also a Peabody Award winner. Kennerly has won a Pulitzer Prize and various other industry awards for his photography work over the last 45 years.

Season 8 of ‘No Reservations’ underway on Travel Channel TV Media

e can be unapologetically brash and has been known to pair up that acerbic wit with the odd profanity. But as long as you haven’t been on the receiving end of his criticism (ask Paula Deen or Sandra Lee), the man is pretty highly respected. Love him or hate him, he’s Anthony Bourdain, host of the Travel Channel’s Emmy award-winning series “Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations” airing Monday nights. The series kicked off its eighth season on April 9, and fans can expect more of the host’s frank and humorous commentaries as he continues his global, food-centric journey. For the unacquainted, the series follows Bourdain to countries and cities (including some here in the U.S.) where he samples their way of life – and more importantly, their foods. Since the series is on Travel Channel, first-time viewers can expect gorgeous shots of breathtaking scenery that might send you online to look up travel fares. But it’s Bourdain’s personal narratives and his experiences that infuse this series with character. Sure, he’ll tell it like it is (as he would off-camera, too), but not necessarily in an irreverent way. And while the foods featured can range from the sublime to the extreme, the core idea behind the show is really not about the shock factor – it’s about viewing the world and ourselves through the foods we all eat. Some just happen to be a bit more unusual than others. Bourdain is a renowned chef, but for most, his celebrity status comes from his writings and television career more so than his cooking.

New York’s kitchens became fodder for his best-selling memoir “Kitchen Confidential.” In addition to personal anecdotes about his career and excesses, the book was particularly noted for laying bare many of the real goings-on inside of New York’s commercial kitchens. The buzz surrounding that book is what launched Bourdain’s television career in 2001 with his Food Network series “A Cook’s Tour,”

which essentially laid the foundation for “No Reservations” in 2005. Fast-forward to 2012 and the series is still going strong, with a wealth of exotic locales and foods already explored. Viewers tuning in this Monday will find Bourdain in Croatia’s Istria and Dalmatian Coast regions, where he swims with bluefin tuna, searches for white truffle and is treated to the finest Mediterranean cuisine.

Lightning sniper has record-breaking season By Joel Duplessis TV Media

he Tampa Bay Lightning may have missed out on this year’s playoff party, but their star sniper, Steven Stamkos, certainly left his mark on the 201112 season. The 22-year-old center is among elite company in the NHL record books and with plenty of years left to play, Tampa Bay has caught lightning in a bottle. After reaching the 2011 Eastern Conference Finals, the Lightning struggled with consistency this year in a very disappointing regular season. There was, however, one bright spot in an otherwise underwhelming year in Tampa Bay. On the last day of the regular season, Stamkos joined the company of NHL legends like Wayne Gretzky, Brett Hull and Mario Lemieux when he notched his 59th and 60th goals of the year. He became just the 20th player in NHL history to score 60 goals in one season, and he joined Washington Capitals captain Alexander 3:30 p.m.

Ovechkin as the only players to record a 60-goal season since 1996. Since being selected with the first-overall pick in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft Stamkos has taken the league by storm, etching his name in the NHL record books on numerous occasions. During his short four-year NHL career Stamkos has set the record for most overtime goals in a season (five) and became the thirdyoungest player to score 50 goals in a season. He also became just the seventh player in NHL history to record two 50-goal seasons before turning 23, and he won the Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy (awarded to the NHL’s leading goal scorer) in his second season, as well as this season. Although Stamkos surely treasures the individual accolades, there’s only one trophy that he really wants -- he’ll just have to wait until next season to try to get it. Year after year it’s becoming more clear that Stamkos is a once in a generation talent. 7:00 p.m.
