Scientists who have both federal and state permits – and a great deal of training and experience – capture the birds in “mist” nets, so-called because they are so fine they are almost like mist.

Observers can watch how they capture migrating and resident birds, fit them with identification bands, measure, weigh, and then release them.

Also included in the presentation will be an overview of the Audubon Nature Center.

Schlick, the Nature Center’s Program Director, said she and LeBaron are looking forward to this opportunity to share information. “National Audubon recently assigned members from northern Chautauqua County to Jamestown Audubon as their local chapter,” Schlick explained. “We’re excited to welcome these folks and to let them know about our facility, our 600-acre wetland preserve, our non-releasable Bald Eagle, and our many festivals, classes, workshops and field trips.”

The Audubon Nature Center is at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, New York, and Warren, Pennsylvania. The Center’s building, with its live animals, exhibits and Blue Heron Gift Shop, and the Bald Eagle viewing, arboretum, picnic tables, gardens, and five miles of trails outdoors are open daily.

The cornstarch will help to keep the wet berries from making a big watery mess in the middle of your dessert.

Prepare graham cracker crust according to directions. Layer Cool Whip or whipped cream along the bottom of the trifle bowl, then use about half of the graham cracker crumbs on top.

Spread the crumbs as evenly as possible, but focus on the sides of the bowl for presentation. Scoop half of the cheesecake into the trifle bowl and smooth over to the sides of the bowl.

Add berries, but keep a few of the good looking ones to garnish the top

of the dessert. Spread evenly.

Repeat cheesecake layer with the remaining cheesecake. You could do whipped cream next if you really want to, but it will drip down into the berries. The consistency of the cheesecake makes for a much better layer.

Repeat graham cracker layer, but save a large spoonful to sprinkle on top. Spread whipped cream on top, and garnish with the berries and graham cracker crumbs.

Refrigerate until serving, and enjoy!

As always, thanks for reading, and happy trifling from HBK! Stay tuned for either a birth announcement or a nursery tour next week.

Keeping the Faith swered. We saw that in Mark 11:24, Jesus said that when you add faith to your prayers, you will see them answered.

We also mentioned that it's important to not speak contrary to your own prayers. This will undermine your own prayers and hinder the answers. This week we want to continue on Rev. Michael speaking in faith.

What am I however, that when we talk against our own doing wrong? prayers, we are not just Last week we looked at demonstrating a lack of how faith contributes to support for our prayers, getting our prayers anwe are actually creat-

ing more of the thing we are praying against!

Some time ago I read a newspaper article concerning depression in pre-teen girls. The study cited found that those girls who got together with friends and complained about their problems were actually more likely to develop depression and increase anxiety. The psychologist's conclusion was, "what you say and think actually influences what you feel." They recommended using "happy talk" as a diversion or talking about solutions rather than just talking about the problems. Isn't it funny that it took a million dollar study to come to the same conclusion that God wrote in His

Word so long ago?

So you see that how we speak can influence our prayers…for or against!

We must even be aware of what we say when we pray. Too many people try to use prayer as an opportunity to “vent” their negative feelings. They spent lots of time crying but have no faith in what God has already said in His Word. Are your prayers just complaints, or are you actually asking for God's intervention?

Better yet…are you standing on His Word and telling God, in faith, that you believe His promises? For example…rather than just telling God that you are sick (complaint), wouldn't it be better to say, "I will get better."

family church F R E D O N I A

Better yet…how about saying, "I am healed because God says that I am (Isaiah 53:4, Matt.

8:17)." When we line up how we speak with

what God promises us, our prayers will take on more effectiveness.

Next week…other hindrances to prayer.

Jamestown BPU 2015 Dual Meter Program Contributed Article tion is that most of Jamestown BPU

The Jamestown Board of Public Utilities (BPU) announces its 2015 Residential Dual Meter Program to help reduce sewer bills for outside watering needs.

The utility provides this service for BPU residential water and wastewater customers whose accounts are current.

The BPU, like most other cities, uses the water meter in your home to determine charges for sanitary sewers. The assump-

the water used in your home eventually flows into a sanitary sewer (for example, showers, clothes washing, dishwashing and toilets).

Therefore, your BPU bill has two rates, one for water and one for sewer/wastewater.

However, water that is used outside to water lawns typically doesn’t end up in the sewers.

As a result, if you use a lot of outside water, you are paying sewer charges for water that doesn’t end up in the sewers.

In an effort to save you money, the BPU allows

the installation of a dual meter that attaches to an outside house spigot on one end and to a garden hose on the other end. When your water and sewer bill comes, the sewer rate will only be charged on that water that is used in the house.

The BPU Dual Meter program runs in monthly increments for ease of billing from May 1 through September 30. An initial deposit of $50 is required when the customer picks up the meter. The deposit will be refunded to the customer’s water account

after the program ends on September 30 and after the dual water meter has been returned in good working order to BPU Customer Service.

To participate in the Residential Dual Meter Program, a customer must have both water and sewer service through the Jamestown BPU. Due to the limited number of dual meters, only one meter is allowed per residential customer.

The customer’s water account will be charged a fee of $7.50 for the first month the

customer has the dual meter. The customer will be charged $2 for each month beyond the first month that the dual meter is used. At the end of the program, the customer’s sewer credit will be calculated and applied to the sewer account.

Customers with dual meters must return the meter to the BPU Customer Service by October 9, 2015, or deposits could be forfeited along with any sewer credit earned. If the meter is damaged, the deposit will be used to defray the costs to repair the meter.

This program will be most helpful for those residential water/wastewater customers who accumulate a sewer credit of more than eight units per month (8 units x 748 gallons = 5,984 gallons per month) which would probably be a residential customer who is doing extensive landscaping or watering a newly-planted lawn.

Residential dual meters are available at the BPU Customer Service, 92 Steele Street, open 7 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. weekdays. For questions, call 661-1660 or 661-1680.

Eight Finalists Named For 2015 Chautauqua Prize

Readers (Harper) lauded Church’s ability to The Witch, by Jean Thomptake the subject of adoption Contributed Article

and shine new light upon it, in a writing style that is “succinct; Church says a lot with few words, picking her details wisely.” It is a novel, another said, with “strength and power, and a deft and delicate touch.”

The Bully of Order, a novel depicting the lawless Pacific Coast at the turn of the 20th century, tracks the lives of a family at the mercy of violent social and historical forces. Readers said that while the story is “violent, dark and crude,” Hart’s “artistry with the language” and “exacting, loving detail,” creates a clear, dramatic narrative.

Drawing on the real-life experiences and writing of Margaret Mead as inspiration, Euphoria follows the dangerously intertwined lives of three anthropologists studying tribes in New

Guinea. King, readers said, “is not one to fall prey to cheap contrivances,” deftly building suspense among the “compelling depicted characters.” All told, one reader said, “Euphoria is a gem.”

In the National Book Award-winning Redeployment, the horrors of war take center stage. As they read about characters on the front lines in Iraq and Afghanistan, readers called the short stories “explicit, emotional and also enlightening,” that they “cut to the marrow of the warrior. …

Each skillfully constructed narrative tells a tale of emotional, physical or spiritual depths."

All Eyes Are Upon Us is a history of race and politics in the Northeast, a region with a long and celebrated history of racial equality and liberalism. But Sokol’s

book reveals the deep-seated racism in the region, and a resulting gap between its ideals and its reality. Readers called the book “timely, important and fascinating,” and Sokol’s research “clearly presented.”

Interconnected short stories make up the novel of The Scatter Here is Too Great, a love letter to the Pakistan city of Karachi, its inhabitants and the often-violent interruptions to their daily lives. Tanweer is a “masterful writer,” a reader said, while another described the work as “a lyrical meditation and a brilliant book.”

The short stories of The Witch refreshingly reintroduce readers to classic fairy tales, told in contemporary settings while still retaining the magic and suspense of their source material.

FREDONIA DANCE ENSEMBLE, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12 This annual showcase is produced by Helen Myers, director of dance at Fredonia. The concert features modern, classical, traditional and abstract dance. The Fredonia Dance Ensemble, comprised of 31 dancers from 14 different majors, is the top dance ensemble on campus.

Featured work by faculty includes: · “Pilgrimage,” a new piece

by Myers, based on the famous pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, Spain. Set to the earliest example of polyphonic music in the western world, this 12th century music is perhaps the oldest music ever presented at Fredonia. Dr. Gerald Gray will conduct the Chamber Choir, performing live for the concert. · “Orion I,” choreographed by dance faculty member Sam Kenney. This fast-paced explosive work continues her exploration of Philip Glass’ music for the “Orion” series. Taking a journey through the music of Australia, Kenney “explores the dynamic movements of the galaxy.”

· “We Got ’Em,” a new comedic romp set to commercial advertising music. This humorous piece explores the world of retail sales in the early-to-mid 20th century.

It was created by dance faculty member Angelika Summerton. · “Collecting Gravity” by Terry Beck, a Western New York-based choreographer.

It is described as a “beautiful work of dance-theatre incorporating large scenic elements.” Beck has performed worldwide as a dancer/ choreographer with his Philadelphia-based dance/ theatre company Terry Beck Troupe. He has won numerous awards for dance and choreography including The Edinburgh Festival’s Critics Award for Dance and the Rockefeller Foundation’s New Artist Award.

The ensemble will perform three pieces choreographed by guest artists. They are: “Cash or Check,” a work

by Jon Lehrer that is described as a “jaw-dropping athletic spectacle.” Lehrer has choreographed for dance companies around the world including Thodos

Foundation Dance Fellowship and a McNight Next Step Grant and was recently honored with a residency award at the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts in Santa Fe, N.M. · “Drop, Post & Beam,” a contemporary ballet with a twist that is choreographed

special session. The summer session concludes with concerts in local venues.

Members of The New Horizons Band of Western New York live in the following communities: Angola, Brocton, Cassadaga, Derby, Dunkirk, Forestville, Fredonia, Lakewood, Lily Dale, Portland, Sheridan, Silver Creek, Sinclairville, Strykersville, and Westfield.

Dr. Levy, an Associate Professor of Music Education and head of the music education area at Fredonia, conducts the band. Advanced music education students in the School of Music provide group lesson instruction. Levy was introduced to New Horizons in 1995 when she became the brass instructor for one of the first New Horizons Bands in Iowa City, Iowa. She has conducted New Horizons Bands in Iowa and Georgia, and she founded a New Horizons Band in Hagerstown, MD.

The band, under the direction of Levy, was launched by the Fredonia School of Music nine years ago and is living proof that, when it comes to learning to play a musical instrument, it truly is “never too late.” New Horizons Band members, who are at least 50 years old, learn to play a band instrument, return to playing a band instrument after a long absence, or continue to improve playing an instrument they have long enjoyed.

The band program includes two weekly group lessons on an instrument and two weekly band rehearsals at Fredonia’s Mason Hall.

The band has an enrollment of more than 60 musicians. The average band member age of the New Horizons Band of Western New York is 63. Band member ages range from the early 50s into the 80s.

By popular demand, a special New Horizons Band-Only session is held during the month of July. No lessons are offered during the

“Music making is just too much fun to leave only to younger folks,” Levy said. “Almost anyone can enjoy learning to play a musical instrument when good instruction, a friendly environment, and lots of helping hands are available.”

THE F.I.T. PROJECT

The Secret to Eating Well

quick and FREE: If you don’t keep unhealthy foods in your home, YOU WONT EAT THEM. Put yourself in the moment. Its 10pm, and you REALLY want some cookies. If there’s a stack of them in the cupboard, guess what you’re going to eat?

You won’t even think twice about it.

Now, let’s say you don’t have those cookies in the house, then what happens? Does the craving go away? Do you skip the snack? Or pick a healthier alternative? IT DOESN’T MATTER!! All three options are better than the handful of cookies.

Let’s take the worst case scenario; say you totally skip the snack and go to bed. In all honesty, one night won’t bring visible change to your body.

BUT, here is the beauty of it; YOU’VE STARTED THE CYCLE!! The hardest part is over, because each and every time you turn down a craving, your will power is strengthened. That simple action sparks a cascading effect of similar actions which will help propel you toward your goal. Now, let’s say you make the same choice every night for 7 nights!! Talk about a game changer!!

Just look at the math:

1 cookie~50 calories, therefore 70 cookies~ 1 pound (3,500 calories).

But wait, WHO EATS 70 COOKIES?! Well, without realizing it, you might… Say you eat 5 cookies every day, in only two weeks you will reach the magic number 70. So remember, small changes breed BIG results.

This is how to use the secret: next time you’re shopping, remember…

You can either fight the urge to buy cookies for the HOUR you’re in the store, OR you can buy them and struggle with the subsequent temptation to indulge every time you’re home. You have

the choice, but as for me, I’ll be picking option number one every time!!

Remember, you have the ability to resist temptation. All it takes is the first step of faith.

From there it gets easier, simply because YOU are stronger.

Follow these tips while shopping; they will guide you toward healthier foods: 1. Shorter shelf life makes your life longer.

2. The fewer ingredients the better.

3. Whole (unprocessed) foods were Made for us.

Let’s eat them!!

inserted as Momma. If you aren’t happy, the people around you won’t be happy. And no one wants to be miserable or rather, most people do not want to be miserable nor do they care to be around someone who is. And guess what, being physically active has been proven to improve your mood. So get out there, for you.

Make it enjoyable. Find several activities that you like, you will be less likely to get bored and in effect will keep moving. I read an article recently about bringing joy back into your life and exercise habits and the advice was, act like a toddler.

I went out and flew a

kite with my daughter this weekend, just get out there and do it. Join a golf or soccer leaguefind a tennis partner or if you like to walk, like most Americans, find a favorite walking route!

We really have no excuse to get outdoors now that the winter has ceased but if you like to go to the gym or walk on your indoor treadmill while catching up on TV or music, that’s terrific. Do what you find fun.

Make it easy. Create opportunities to be active throughout your everyday routine.

If exercise doesn’t fit easily into your life, it is unlikely you will stick with it. I’ve moved a lot throughout my adult-

hood - I eventually got smart and every time I moved, I would only look for apartments/ homes that I knew I could literally step out my door and go for a pleasant and safe run. I’m not likely to exercise indoors and so I made sure I always had that easy access to do what I like best - running. If running is not for you, think of your day right now and find opportunities to be active - it is yard waste pick-up in many of the villages and cities and many of you were in the yard raking and pulling weeds - what a great way to be active! I was at the the playground Saturday with my daughter and

watched many parents dropping off their children at baseball and softball practice - what a great opportunity walk with your child to practice if you’re close enough and/or stay and take a walk around the track, bring your dog and play frisbee, bring a soccer ball to kick around or basketball to shoot hoops. Speaking of walking and other forms of recreation, I always have a pair of sneakers, a frisbee, tennis and golf gear, a basketball and a kickball in my vehicle, you never know when you could get the chance to be active. Now go make room for exercise today!

New Surgical Urology Technology BENEFITS PATIENTS AT WCA HOSPITAL Contributed Article WCA Hospital New urologic surgical technology at WCA enhances the ever changing and expanding role of minimally invasive procedures at WCA. The new advanced technological upgrades allow urologic surgeons at WCA Hospital to perform complex urologic procedures employing minimally invasive approaches to treat disorders of the kidney, ureter, prostate, bladder, and urethra. Patients benefit from minimally invasive surgery with reduced post-operative discomfort, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times.

James M. Kenney, Senior R.N. for the WCA Hospital Surgical Program, explains that the newly acquired technology includes High Definition (HD) digital flexible ureteroscopes that improve visualization and allow access to every

calyx within the kidney. In addition, WCA now has the World's first HD digital flexible cystoscope that provides an unappalled image while minimizing patient discomfort. Finally, light weight urology specific camera heads used in allow enhanced visualization and mobility.

According to Jim, “The new technology allows our urologic surgeons to view problems with much greater clarity, and enhanced flexibility.”

Peter J. Walter, M.D., F.A.C.S., board certified urologist on staff at WCA Hospital, was among the first surgeons at WCA to utilize the new technology. Dr. Walter has extensive experience in treating disorders of the male genitourinary and female urinary tract. "This new technology is truly amazing," explains Dr. Walter. “We are very pleased to provide this to our patients. It is really changing the experience of surgery for the better. The small size and increased flexibility of the

new scopes allow access to even the tightest nooks and crannies of the urinary tract. The improved HD digital image allows us to visualize even the smallest cancerous tumor or kidney stone so that it can be removed or destroyed with a laser.

Surgeons can perform a less invasive procedure. Patients benefit by reduced post-operative pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery times.”

24 THIS GREAT COUNTY

Fredonia

THIS Star Special Feature

Zattu Cushing & Canadaway The first white man to settle in what is now Fredonia, situated in the Town of Pomfret, was Thomas McClintock in 1803. The Indians had named the stream that flowed by his cabin Gon-no-do-wao, meaning in the Seneca tongue, "flowing through the hemlocks.”

McClintock pronounced it “Canadaway,” and thus became the name of the little settlement. David Eason and Low Miniger soon joined McClintock, and the men brought their families in 1805. Just two years later, all three men sold out after a short stay and moved to “The Crossroads” (Westfield, NY) to be closer to their old friends. Because of this, Zattu Cushing, who came in 1805 from Oneida County, is honored as the first permanent settler.

Cushing was a ship's carpenter by trade. Born in Plymouth, MA, he had worked in Boston and then in Oneida County. In 1798 or 1799 he went to Presque Isle to oversee the

We’ll go through the county, place by place, for the next few months. Check back every week for the next edition of “This Great County." building of the first large American vessel built on Lake Erie. Returning with horses along the lake, he was impressed with the land that is now Fredonia and determined to come back.

He returned in 1805, but not before a narrow escape with his family on the frozen waters of Lake Erie in February of that same year. While traveling from Buffalo to their new home, the family had become stranded in a winter storm out on the ice.

They knew that the ice was treacherous and decided that the best thing they could do was stop and set up camp for the night. Putting the oxen to the windward side they got what shelter they could.

Cushing had a dinner horn which he blew from time to time hoping someone might hear it; and luckily at about 1am two men did hear it and came with lanterns to guide them ashore. The next morning would have been too late, for the ice broke up during the night.

In 1806 came Hezekiah Barker, whose name is perpetuated in the beautiful park and Library in Fredonia. In 1807 the Connecticut Baptist Missionary Society

sent a missionary, Rev. Joy Handy, to preach the gospel.

About the same time Rev. John Spencer, a Connecticut Congregational missionary, was sent to the purchase. In the log cabins and beneath the trees they preached and performed the functions of their calling, their first burial service being held in 1807 over the body of a little girl killed by a falling tree.

Cushing built a home and barn in 1808 at what is now 171 Eagle St. that also served as a Baptist Church. As late as 1820, the structure was the most commodious place for a religious assembly in all northern Chautauqua. Cushing served in the War of 1812 and from 1811 to 1824 held the office of "First Judge" of the county. He may not have literally been the first settler of Fredonia, but he was for a long time its "first citizen."

Freemasonry Forest Lodge F. & A.M. is the mother Lodge of all Chautauqua County, chartered in 1816. Because it was the first, it was necessary for all other Lodges to obtain their permission to obtain a charter. The Dunkirk - Irondequoit Lodge F. & A.M. meets at Fredonia

Grange #1, one of the most historic buildings in Fredonia.

It was through the encouragement and support of Forest Lodge that a spirited fraternal movement was sown and flourished in the County. Today, Forest Lodge still meets in a beautiful Temple on Route 20 that was rebuilt after a disastrous fire in their original facility.

Milling The early settlers found the plats of Canadaway creek well timbered and the stream itself furnished abundant waterpower. As a result, several saw and grist mills were in operation. In 1812, Ebenezer Eaton built a carding mill and Thomas Bull constructed a cotton mill

in 1817, which soon burned down. Bull soon built another cotton mill built along with Orrin Ford in 1823, which was changed in 1854 to a paper mill. In all, about thirty factories have drawn their motive power from Canadaway creek.

Fredonia The town of Pomfret was formed from Chautauqua, March 11, 1808, and was the first division of the county after its organization. The town originally comprised the tenth and eleventh ranges of townships and all the area now included in the towns of Pomfret and Dunkirk. The following year, a post office was established in the Canadaway settleCONTINUED ON PAGE 25

THIS GREAT COUNTY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 22 ment, but carried the name of the township rather than the community.

As the village continued to grow, the residents felt it should carry a sophisticated name that would attract the best settlers to the area. So the old name with its Native American origins was replaced with the name “Fredonia,” a proposed name for the United States, suggesting "Freedom."

The first mention of the name was found in the county’s first newspaper, "The Chautauqua Gazette," which appeared in 1817. In 1829 the village was legally incorporated as Fredonia.

Natural Gas In 1821, William Hart dug the first successful gas well. By 1825 it supplied enough natural gas for lights in two stores, two shops and a grist mill (currently the village's Fire Station). When La Fayette was invited

by President Monroe to tour the nation as part of its 50th anniversary he paid a historic visit to Fredonia, primarily to witness firsthand its use of natural gas.

Expanding on Hart's work, the Fredonia Gas Light Company was

eventually formed in 1858, becoming the first American natural gas company. The site of the first gas well is marked by a stone monument in downtown Fredonia.

A Community of Firsts In addition to having the first successful natural gas well in the world, Fredonia also holds the distinction of having the first higher education institution in Chautauqua County.

Established within 20 years of the founding of the village, the Fredonia Academy was started in 1824, and opened in 1826. The Academy became a State Normal School in 1866. On August 8, 1867, a longawaited event took place when the cornerstone of the Fredonia Normal School was laid on a site where the Old Main building stands today.

The Normal School used the Academy's building, which stood on the site of the present Village Hall, until the Old Normal was completed in 1868.

The Lake Shore railroad, that became a part of the great New York Central system, was organized at a meeting held in Fredonia, and the

stock was subscribed for them. It has been said that Fredonia was the first village in the State to own a public building.

In 1868 the first subordinate grange was organized. Fredonia No. I, Patrons of Husbandry, is an order that has been of inestimable advantage to the farmer and his family and revolutionized the politics of several States. The original building (Grange Hall #1) still stands on Main Street.

The first Woman's Crusade was inaugurated in Fredonia, and at the same time the organization of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union was effected, an organization that has proved to an important factor in the sociological problems of the whole county. The first meeting of the group was held at the Fredonia Baptist Church in 1873.

Fredonia Opera House The centerpiece of downtown is the 1891 Fredonia Opera House, designed by noted architect Enoch Curtis. Not only was the facility a destination for entertainment, but it also housed the village offices. This was a dream shared by many late 19th-century communities where it was felt that, with the coming of the railroads, their relatively isolated citizens could now have access to performing arts and other events formerly available only in major cities. The theater fell into disrepair in the 1970s while being operated as a movie house. But with the assistance of the Fredonia Preservation Society and dozens of volunteers, it underwent a complete nine-year restora-

tion in the 1980s. It now serves as a year-round performing arts center.

Fredonia In 1930 under the director of the Normal School, Hermann Cooper, 58 acres of land west of Central Avenue were bought with the dream that one day it would become a campus.

The construction of a music building took place in 1939 and in 1942 the Feinberg Law converted the Normal School into a Teachers College. In 1948 the college became a vital part of the new State University of New York SUNY system.

With the formation of the State University of New York on March 13, 1948, Fredonia took a giant step forward. The college created a Division of the Humanities in 1958 and in 1960 Fredonia was selected

by State University to grant the A.B. degree. Previously, Fredonia’s curriculum was restricted for teacher training only.

In 1968, the highly respected architectural firm of I.M. Pei & Partners of New York drafted the master plan for the central avenue campus. Many of the buildings are still listed today in architectural guides as examples of exceptional modern architecture.

The Most Famous Man in America Samuel Clemons or "Mark Twain" was a frequent visitor to Fredonia to visit his mother and sister who were both residents. Charles Webster was also Clemons business manager and called Fredonia his home, so if you read his books and stories some are very Fredonia woven tapestries.

FREDONIA HILLBILLIES HAVE THE ARMS, BATS FOR A SPECIAL SEASON

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

The past two seasons have resulted in a pair of Section VI Class B championships, a Far West Regional championship and a New York State title for the Fredonia Hillbillies baseball team. If the early season results are any indication, Fredonia could be adding to those accolades in the next six weeks or so.

“Last year we downgraded our goals because we were so young,” Fredonia head coach Vince Gullo said. “We wanted to get to the finals and we ended up winning a Sectional title. This year our goal is to play in June. We’re hoping to play for a Sectional title. We want to get to that Far West Regional game and make amends for dropping it last year.”

One of the reasons for optimism in Fredonia is the presence of senior left-handed ace Cam Voss, who spun his first career no-hitter against Southwestern just last week and now owns a 23-2 career record.

“This is Cam’s fourth year of varsity baseball,” Gullo noted. “He was a role player as a freshman and he won the state final game for us as a sophomore. He’s been our number one arm the past two years. He’s our catalyst.

He’s the guy we rely on to do his job every time he takes the mound. He’s going to be pitching some big games for us down the road.”

Not only is Voss fi lthy on the mound, but he’s also the team’s top bat. As a junior last season, Voss put up a .472 average with 42 hits and 35 RBI. He struck out only six times in 89 at-bats and also stole 12 bases.

On the bump, the Hillbillies are much more than a onetrick pony.

“Noah Voss was a Second-Team All Star last year,” Gullo pointed out. “He’s very capable. He’s having a nice season for us so far. He’s won a couple game already. We also have Jarod Burmaster, who’s a junior. He beat Cassadaga Valley the other day. He throws a bit harder than the other guys. Then we had Lucas Voss beat Springville and that’s a strong team. Cam is the only lefty, but we don’t look at matchups. As long as they hit their spots, they’ll be successful.”

While the early results with the gloves have been shaky,

Gullo knows that defense will again be key behind those arms.

“Defense has been our strength the past couple years,” he noted. “This year, we need to strengthen it. We should be a lot better than we’re doing right now. We haven’t had many outdoor practices to work on it. We’re making a few too many mistakes in the field right now, but we know come playoff time, that’s got to be our bread and butter.”

Of course, you can’t win if you don’t score. Cam Voss is the big bat, but he’s surrounded by talent in Fredonia’s deep lineup.

“We have everybody contributing right now,” Gullo said CONTINUED ON PG 31

The Most Irrelevant Sports Teams

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

I was driving with a friend the other day when talk of Phillip Rivers getting traded to the Tennessee Titans came up on sports radio.

CONTINUED ON PG 27

SPORTS 27

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 2015

MOST IRRELEVANT SPORTS TEAMS (PT. 1), CONTINUED FROM PAGE 26 That got us thinking: Which team is the most irrelevant in each of the four major sports? The Titans have to have a good claim, no? There are theoretically worse teams, but is there a team that matters less to the casual NFL fan?

I joked at the time that the topic would make a good commentary, but the more I thought about it, it really would. So let’s take a look at the candidates for each of the four major professional (North American) sports and I’ll give you my picks at the end.

This isn’t all about wins and losses. In fact, I hope winning percentage is a minor detail. Star power, market size, history — these are the things that matter.

The candidates: NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE Tennessee Titans: As noted, there are worse teams in the NFL, but it seems the Titans are perpetually irrelevant. They have an active 10-game losing streak headed into next season.

Their best player in franchise history is probably Bruce Mathews. Now Mathews is one of the best offensive linemen to ever play the game, but the Titans’ best player ever was an offensive lineman. Can you even name their current starting quarterback? Or coach? No playoffs since 2008 shows how inept they’ve been in recent years. Seriously. Name five players on the Titans. Can you do it?

Jacksonville Jaguars: The Jaguars are probably the consensus worst team in the NFL over the past decade. You have to go back to 2007 until you find a playoff berth. They’re one of only four teams to have never played in a Super Bowl. They haven’t had a legitimate quarterback since…your guess is as good as mine.

Mark Brunell? He might still be on the team.

That’s how little anyone follows or cares about the Jaguars. Perhaps the biggest knock on the Jags is that their attendance is always among the lowest in the league — and that includes a huge boost from their annual London game.

Cleveland Browns: In Cleveland’s defense, it’s one of the smallest markets in the league, but doesn’t do terribly in attendance. So people in and around the city of Cleveland care, but that’s about it. Horrible uniforms. No marketable players. Perennially brutal division. Zero history. It’s tough to say because technically THESE Browns are an expansion team, but they’re the only non-expansion team to never play in a Super Bowl. The Browns drafted Johnny Manziel with the sole purpose of becoming relevant and even that backfired. This is just a sorry franchise.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: The Bucs went all

A whole lot of punts is just one of the reasons why the Cleveland Browns might just be the NFL’s most irrelevant team. (AP Photo/Dave Richard)

out last offseason to improve the team via free agency. They then went out and won all of two games. Yeah, that basically describes this franchise in a nutshell. The only reasons the Bucs wouldn’t be the most irrelevant is because 1) They’ve won a Super Bowl in the not-to-distant past, and 2) they’re almost too big a joke to be irrelevant. If you’re constantly making fun of a team, they’re at least on your mind. Any press is good press, or something. But seriously, what a pathetic franchise.

Buffalo Bills: This is dangerous as I sit in the middle of Bills country, but try to be objective, Bills fans. Your team has the longest playoff drought in the league. You’ve had guys like J.P. Losman, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Trent Edwards, Alex Van Pelt, Todd Collins, Kelly Holcomb, Brian Brohn, E.J. Manuel, Thad Lewis, Jeff Tuel and Kyle Orton spend extended time as your starting quarterback. You’ve had pieces of garbage like Mike Mularkey, Dick Jauron, Chan Gailey and Doug Marrone roam the sidelines for your team. Yes, four straight Super Bowls is something to hang your hat on, but there’s no one outside of Western New York that has given the Bills a thought for close to 20 years.

St. Louis Rams: Long, long gone is the “Greatest Show on Turf.” Even further long gone are the days of the “Fearsome Foursome” of the 1960s. They’ve made some noise off the field in recent years by being involved in the Robert Griffin III trade and just a few weeks ago, the Nick Foles-Sam Bradford swap. Their

defense puts up good numbers, but there’s little star power on the current roster. They play in a division that was dominated by Arizona and then San Francisco and then Seattle within the past six or seven seasons. Basically it’s been anyone but St. Louis in the NFC West. Maybe they’ll become relevant if the team moves to Los Angeles. Maybe. Probably not.

Honorable Mentions: Detroit Lions for their inability to keep Ndamakong Suh and for their semi-recent 0-16 season. But too much star power to say they’re irrelevant. Plus they play on Thanksgiving every year, so everyone sees them once a year. Oakland for just being terrible every year. They sign aging free agents every year and think it’ll help. They’re just too popular in American to be irrelevant though, no matter how bad the product on the field is.

Kansas City because, you know, they’re in the Midwest and don’t get much national media attention. It might not be fair, but it’s true.

This commentary got very long, very quickly.

That means that I get to do one of my worldfamous multi-part commentaries. Woo-hoo!

Come back next week when I talk about either the NHL, NBA or MLB. It’ll be a good time.

At the end of all of this, I promise I’ll give my picks for the most irrelevant teams in each league.

Dessens Doubles At Cortland Classic Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.

Fredonia senior thrower Nicole Desens (Hopewell Junction, N.Y. / Arlington) won the shot put and the discus Saturday during the second day of the Cortland Classic Invitational. Sophomore sprinter Laura Morrison (Wethersfield, Conn. / Wethersfield) was a single winner.

Her winning distance of 12.59 meters (41' 3.75") in the shot put was her fourth win of the outdoor season. She threw nearly 2 1/2 feet farther than the next woman. In the discus, Desens added her fifth win of the spring with a toss of 41.39 meters (135' 9") -- over seven feet farther than second place.. She was also third in the hammerthrow on Friday.

Morrison registered her win Saturday in the 400 meters with a winning time of 58.87 seconds -- over one-half second faster than the second-place finisher. Morrison did not compete in the 800 at Cortland, an event in which she is ranked No. 10 in NCAA Division III. Both Desens and Morrison had teammates competing alongside. In the shot, junior Brianne Paganello (Batavia, N.Y./Batavia) finished seventh with a throw of 11.12 meters (36' 5.75"). Freshman Anneliese Bienko (Clarence, N.Y. / Clarence) and senior Jenna Fiacco (Verona, N.Y. / VernonVerona-Sherrill) were seventh and ninth, respectively, in the discus. Bienko's best toss was 34.12 meters (111' 11"). Fiacco had a toss of 31.04 meters (101' 01"). In the 400, senior Kim Foltz (Elbridge, N.Y. / Jordan-Elbridge) finished sixth in 1:00.65.

In the 100-meter high hurdles, senior Hailey Griewisch (Dunkirk, N.Y./ Dunkirk) finished fourth in Saturday's final -- an improvement of two places from her sixth-place qualifier on Friday. Griewisch's time in the final

Nicole Dessens (Photo courtesy of Fredonia)

was 16.64 seconds.

Other top eight finishers Saturday for Fredonia were junior sprinter Anna Dambacher (Divernon, Ill. / Auburn), fourth in the 200 meters (:26.41); freshman sprinter-jumper Brittany Feldman ( Jamestown, N.Y. / Southwestern), fourth in the high jump (1.58 meters / 5' 2.25"); and senior jumper Meghan Devine (Clarence, N.Y. / Clarence), eighth in the triple jump (10.64 meters / 34' 11").

HILLBILLIES BASEBALL PREVIEW, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 26 excitedly. “We got off to kind of a slow start. Jarod Burmaster is a returning First-Team All Star. I’d expect him to be hitting in the .350.400 range by the time the season is over. He’s our shortstop when he’s not on the mound. Lucas Voss is a sophomore. Mike Pucci is a junior.

Noah Voss is a senior. All of these guys can hit. Colton Haas is coming back from an injury, but he’ll contribute. We have a freshman in Seth Schrader. We have Vince Gullo in the lineup. Add in Zach Crandall and Gio DeJesus and we can go at least 13 deep.”

Not surprisingly, the competition within CCAA West 1 is expected to be steep.

“Olean is flat-out loaded,” Gullo lamented. “Their summer ball team won the state championship and went on to the Eastern Regional.

They are strong. We battled them

in the B1 final last year. They have a great thrower. They have three or four pitchers and three or four stud hitters. They’re going to be the team to beat. They are an A school though, so we don’t have to worry about them come playoff time.

Southwestern is really strong, too.

I know we got the best of them this past week, but they’re a little banged up right now and they’ll be there at the end.”

A strength of Fredonia baseball has always been its feeder program.

That fact has perhaps never been more evident than this season.

“We already practice every day with nine jayvee eligible players,” Gullo noted. “Our jayvee team is still very strong. We start a freshman and three sophomores. Another freshman is trying to get into the lineup.

We have a nice blend of senior leadership and young guys that take

baseball very seriously.”

Along with Gullo, who has built quite a legacy for himself, the Fredonia coaching staff is unrivaled. The combined playing and coaching experience of Gullo’s staff would be the envy of any program.

“I have so much help,” Gullo made sure to add. “Our coaching staff works so well together in eveyr phase of the game. Bryan Bongiovanni, Charlie LaDuca, Terry Presto, Tim Cowen and Anthony Polvino — they’re at every practice working with the kids, building rapports with them. The kids respond.

We wouldn’t be successful without these assistant coaches.

“LaDuca is our pitching coach,” he continued. “Coach Cowen is our sabermetrics guy and also our head scout of opposition. Coach Presto is working with the kids on hitting and

bunting. Bongiovanni is working on defense and is our hitting instructor.

These are great coaches. They’ve done a lot of games on their own at their schools. (Presto) was at Brocton for 20-plus years. Tim Cowen was at Chautauqua Lake for 12 years.

LaDuca has 20-plus years at Pine Valley. (Bongiovanni) has been in our system for seven years. We’re very fortunate to have each of these guys.”

The team’s blowout win over Southwestern upped Fredonia’s record to 5-1 overall and 2-0 within the division. Inclement weather has put a strain on the schedule for all local teams, but there’s no doubt that this is a team to keep an eye on in 2015.

CCBUA Baseball Showcase Set For This Weekend Contributed Article CCBUA

Falconer Central School, with the assistance of the Chautauqua County Baseball Umpires’ Association, will once again sponsor the High School Baseball Showcase on April 24 and 25 at Russell E. Diethrick Park in Jamestown.

This is the eighth year of the resurrection of the Baseball Showcase which was conceived in the 1980s and will feature 12 high school baseball teams from Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Counties in a schedule of six games over the two-day period.

The Showcase gives local high school players an opportunity to play in a professional baseball stadium and hopefully be seen by a college coach or two who have been notified about the event and will hopefully be in attendance.

Gajewski Sets Career-Best Decathlon Score Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.

Fredonia multi-athlete Tyler Gajewski (Dunkirk, N.Y. / Dunkirk) established a personal-best decathlon score following two days of competition at the Cortland Track & Field Classic.

Gajewski finished first in two disciplines and fourth in another Saturday to finish with 5,363 points, seventh best in a field of 19 men. His score is currently the 44th best in NCAA Division III. Over the two days at Cortland, he established college-career bests in eight of the 10 disciplines. Among them was the pole vault. He cleared 3.85 meters (12' 7.5") Saturday, best in the event, for a score of 576 points. His other event-best Saturday came in the javelin -- 47.73 meters (155' 7"), which was worth 551 points. He was also fourth in the discus with a career-best 32.36 meters (106' 2"), worth another 511 points.

Also competing in the decathlon for Fredonia was sophomore Brendan Long (Clinton Corners, N.Y. / Pine Plains), who finished 11th with a career-best 4,398 points.

Fredonia's next-best finisher Saturday was freshman Mitchel Paciga ( Jeffersonville, N.Y. / Sullivan West), fifth in the discus with a throw of 31.17 meters (102' 3"). There were also two eighth-place finishers: freshman

Damone Brown (Haverstraw, N.Y. / North Rockland) in the shot put and freshman Rocky Caparro (Staten Island, N.Y. / Susan E. Wagner) in the triple jump. Brown's best throw was 13.95 meters (45' 9.25"), while Caparro's best jump was 13.53 meters (44' 4.75").

Devils Drop Two To Brockport Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.

Fredonia dropped both ends of a SUNYAC softball doubleheader with Brockport, but not without providing some late drama Wednesday night.

Down by five runs heading into their final atbat, the Blue Devils rallied for four runs and had the tying and winning runs on base before falling 10-9. The Blue Devils lost the opener, 9-1, to fall to 13-14 overall and 10-6 in the SUNYAC.

BECC

A lead-off single by Erin Mushtare (Oneonta, N.Y./Oneonta) followed by a pinch-hit, two-run homer by Maddy Stavish (Olean, N.Y./Olean) got the four-run seventh inning started. A walk, an error, and a two-run double by Alyssa Morgan (Homer, N.Y./Homer) cut the Brockport lead down to one-run.

The Golden Eagles' Jaime Berger pitched out of further trouble and earned the win in relief.

She pitched a complete-game three-hitter in the opener. The sweep left Brockport at 16-14 overall and 8-6 in the conference.

Morgan was Fredonia's Game 2 offensive leader with two doubles, a single, three RBI, and two

runs scored. Madeline Medina (Hamburg, N.Y./Hamburg) had two singles and two RBI while Maggie Paras (Florida, N.Y./S.S. Seward) had two hits. Aldyn Carlson (Dunkirk, N.Y./ Dunkirk) was the losing pitcher in relief.

Medina, Lauren Pixley (Hamburg, N.Y./Frontier), and Katelyn Dennis (Webster, N.Y./Webster Schroeder) each had a single in Game 1.

Kelsey Gannett (Endwell, N.Y./Union-Endicott) started in the circle and took the loss.

For Brockport, Delaney Buckley homered in each game and Kelly Proper homered in Game 2. The Golden Eagles had 10 extra-base hits in the doubleheader.

In the coming weeks, look for hatches of blue-winged olives and hendricksons to start up. 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 practice to outfit your spinners with a single hook rather than a treble hook.
