Star Special Scott Wise Star News Writer

As you may remember from the beginning of the month, we at the Chautauqua Star hosted a special contest for our readers. Your job was to find the specially marked ad with the ‘golden egg,’ and write in telling us where it was. Correct entries were put in a drawing for a new Acer Netbook. We had hundreds of entries come in from our ever-growing readership. The winning ticket belonged to Dorothy Grant, who lives in Fredonia with her husband Sherman. After giving them their prize, we asked them a few questions about our paper and what they enjoy most about it. Star: How long have you been reading the Chautauqua Star? Dorothy: Since it came out! We read it a lot when it started coming out. Then, when it started coming with our Buffalo News delivery, I had it every week. Star: What is your favorite part of the Star? Dorothy: We love the food section. The part where you visit restaurants (referring to Flavor of the Week).

Dorothy Grant enjoying her new Acer netbook, visiting StarNewsDaily. com. She won the Netbook by sending in a correct entry for the Chautauqua Star’s Easter Egg Hunt.

My husband and I are retired, and even though we only eat out maybe once or twice a week, it’s interesting to see what is said about the different restaurants from around the county. Star: Have you tried all the ones we write about? Dorothy: Not yet! The price of gas works into it. But if we’re over in Lakewood and I’ve read about something, we’ll try it out.

Sherman: Every night we get to go out is special, and you help by giving us ideas; an understanding that helps us make better decisions. Star: What else do you read? Sherman: The classifieds are great. Dorothy: I read the classified all the time. I was looking for a recumbent bike, and I’d check them every week for it. I kept checking to see if one showed up.

Sherman: Really, it’s a community service that we’re very grateful for. We appreciate it. I look for things like used farm equipment. Any leads you provide are a big help. Dorothy: There are also other articles in there from other parts of the county that I don’t get to read otherwise. I’m from near Jamestownthat’s where I grew up- and my dad worked in Jamestown. Those parts of the county are familiar to me, and I enjoy reading about them. Star: One thing we’re trying to do is bridge the gap between north and south county, so that’s great to hear. You emailed in your entry. Do you do a lot with our website? Dorothy: Mostly I’m in the print version. Star: What made you email instead of mail? Dorothy: Didn’t cost a stamp! No, it was easier than getting an envelope, going to the mailbox and using a stamp. It was just easier. It was less complicated to do it online. Keep watching our paper as we provide more and more opportunities for you to participate in contests, entries and content. Thanks for reading!

SUNY Fredonia to Honor Dennis and Jan Hefner Campus Invites Community to May 3, 4 Events

Contributed Article SUNY Fredonia

Just days before presiding over his sixteenth and final SUNY Fredonia commencement, President Dennis L. Hefner and his wife, Jan, will be honored at two special events celebrating their long service and dedication to the campus and its students. A reception, open to the campus and surrounding community, will be held in the outdoor arcade of Rockefeller Arts Center Thursday, May 3 at 2 p.m. On Friday, May 4, starting at 6 p.m., a Presidential Gala will be held at the Robert and Marilyn Maytum Rehearsal Halls to benefit the Hefner Presidential Scholarship Endowment. Under Dr. Hefner’s leadership, enrollment at SUNY Fredonia has increased significantly, academic programs have been expanded, and the campus is humming today with construction activity and design work reminiscent of the “modern” campus development of a halfcentury ago. Thursday, May 3, Outdoor Reception The festive atmosphere that charac-

terized popular all-campus parties hosted by the Hefners over the years will fill the Outdoor Arcade at the Rockefeller Arts Center at a free reception, open to the campus and surrounding community, on Thursday, May 3. The three-hour gathering, which begins at 2 p.m., will celebrate the legacy of Dr. Hefner, the longest serving president in modern SUNY Fredonia history and second longest current president of four-year SUNY campuses. Indeed, the Outdoor Arcade is a fitting site for such a gathering; it was there that his post-inauguration

reception as SUNY Fredonia’s 12th president was held. Brief comments will be presented by guests and Dr. Hefner. Light refreshments and desserts will be served and a nacho bar – a nod to the Hefners’ penchant for Mexican-style food – will be offered. Student ensembles from the School of Music will perform at locations in and around the arcade. Friday, May 4, Presidential Scholarship Benefit Gala On Friday, May 4 at 6 p.m., a black tie optional Presidential Gala will be held at the Robert and Marilyn Maytum Rehearsal Halls in sup-

port of the new Hefner Presidential Scholarship Endowment Fund, which will provide substantial awards to low-income, academically high-performing students. The 6,500 square feet that encompass both rehearsal halls will be adorned with banners, posters and photographs highlighting the Hefners’ distinguished service. The gala will feature station-style dining, and no reserved seating. Kurt Maytum, president and CTO of DFT Communications and a past chair of the Fredonia College Foundation, will serve as master of ceremonies of the gala. Dr. Christopher Dahl, president of SUNY Geneseo and the only comprehensive college president in the SUNY system whose tenure exceeds Dr. Hefner’s, will speak at the gala. Those unable to attend the Presidential Gala may contribute to the new Hefner Presidential Scholarship online or by check to the Fredonia College Foundation, 272 Central Ave., Fredonia, NY 14063. Additional gifts from guests of the gala are also welcome. Reprinted with permission from the Campus Report April 19, 2012

Don’t Take Just a Day May, designated by the United States Congress when people are asked ‘to turn to God in meditation and prayer.’ The modern law formalizing its annual observance was enacted in 1952, although it has historical origins to a mandate by George Washington. When I was in high school, I was the president of our school’s Bible Club. We were a sparse group, ranging from 3-6 attendees every Friday. But it was in this club that I learned to love sharing what I’d learned from the bible with my classmates. One event, in particular, that I enjoyed taking part in was the National Day of Prayer. At that point in my life, I

Scott Wise Commentary

According to Wikipedia, The National Day of Prayer is an annual day of observance held on the first Thursday of

With anything we celebrate, anything that has meaning to us, it ought to be worth more than just one day. Take Valentine’s Day. We ought to share our love with that special someone more than just Feb. 14. Or only taking the fourth Thursday in November to be thankful for all we have. Each holiday we celebrate is meant to remind us of those things we ought to appreciate every day. This May 3, take some extra time and pray. Find an organization, or be the person in your workplace to start the tradition. In the words of someone wise, prayer makes tremendous power available!

didn’t really understand what it meant, other than a bunch of us gathering around the flagpole to pray for our school and country. I’ve learned since then that the National Day of Prayer holds a lot of meaning. It’s a day that the country as a whole openly turns their hearts and mouths toward God, and a day that should not be taken lightly. I think it is important though, that we remember that we do not need to only focus on one day out of the 365 in a year (or 366 this year) to pray. May 3 is such an important day because it brings to light a truth that we should reflect on every day.

Chautauqua County Director of Weights and Measures Teaches West Virginia State Officials about Compressed Natural Gas Testing

Pg 1

Contributed Article Oﬃce of the County Executive

Chautauqua County Executive Gregory J. Edwards recently joined Chautauqua County Director of Weights and Measures Daniel Thompson for a training session conducted on testing a compressed natural gas meter at the Barcelona Market, located on 8246 Route 5 in Westfield. Thompson, who has served as the Director of Weights and Measures for 14 years, was selected by the State of West Virginia’s Department of Weights and Measures after contacting New York State Weights and Measures Director Mike Sikula, who requested that Chautauqua County assist them in their analysis of compressed natural gas technology and to teach

State however this meter in Westfield is the first one west of Buffalo that is being used in a commercial application.” Compressed natural gas is a fossil fuel substitute for gasoline or diesel. It produces lower amounts of nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and toxic and carcinogenic pollutants, which makes it a more environmentally clean alternative for gasoline or diesel. As a compressed gas, this fuel is usually stored in a cylinder tank that is on the undercarriage or in the trunk of a vehicle. With current gas prices over $4/gallon, utilizing CNG could also provide significant savings to drivers as CNG at Barcelona Market is only $1.90 per 5.660 lbs. of gas or 1 Gasoline Gallon Equivalent. However, in order to utilize

Several manufacturers sell bi-fuel (gasoline and CNG compatible) vehicles, but existing vehicles can also be converted which could cost $2,000 or more depending on the vehicle. According to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels and Advanced Vehicles Data Center, there are currently 107 compressed natural gas fueling stations in New York State with only 33 stations open to the public. In Western New York, there are only four CNG fueling stations open to the public with 2 in Erie County, 1 in Monroe County, and 1 in Chautauqua County.

Compeer Chautauqua Presents Awards Contributed Article Jeanne Sears

Compeer Chautauqua presented awards to three women at its annual Volunteer Recognition Luncheon on Saturday, April 21, at the White Horse Inn in Cassadaga. Honored were Doris Gray and Gail Coyle of Jamestown and Teresa Samuelson of Dunkirk. Doris Gray began her Compeer volunteer experience in September 2004. She was encouraged to join by Lois Yoxthiemer, a previous volunteer. Volunteers are our best recruitment tool! Doris is on her second match, choosing to stay in the program after her first match came to a logical conclusion. Doris and her current friend Debbie are frequent attendees at Compeer events. Doris and Debbie have a flourishing friendship. Throughout the various physical and emotional trials they both have encountered, they continue to “be there” for one another. When one or the other is too busy to get out, they maintain good phone contact. Doris reported one of their current passions is working on puzzles. Doris is a great Compeer “team player” as evidenced by her participation in the Walk for Autism team. She is a deeply religious woman and carries that into her friendship by invitation and that is also a great strength they share. Length of friendship is important, consistency is important, also commitment that does not wane when personal family needs take up a lot of time. Still making time for her friend Debbie is one of the many reasons that Doris is Compeer Chautauqua’s Volunteer of the Year, Adult Program. The 2011 Youth Mentor of the Year Award goes to a young lady who applied to be a mentor back in 2009. She was matched with her mentee in November 2009 and they are now going on their fourth year together. She attends SUNY Fredonia and will have earned her BSW in May 2012 and plans to receive her MSW from SUNY Buffalo in May 2013. She enjoys working with many different populations and is very interested in working with at risk youth in one of the bigger cities. She is an intern with Chautauqua

This year, after enduring windy and grueling cold days in the past, the sister communities of Dunkirk and Fredonia have decided to join together for the National Day of Prayer at a site that will provide a dry and warm shelter. All are invited to join in worship and prayer at the Chautauqua County Fairgrounds’ 4-H building (formerly known as the Roller Rink). The gathering will take place on Thursday, May 3 at 6

Tapestry and also works with Compeer, not only as a mentor but on different events on which Compeer collaborates. When asked what prompted her to be a Compeer Mentor, she replied “I grew up and still live in the Dunkirk/Fredonia area. I know there are kids who need a positive influence in their lives and I hope to be there for them.” She has already made such an influence on one that we know of and there are probably many others we are unaware of. Congratulations, Teresa Samuelson, Youth Mentor of the Year! Gail Coyle became a Compeer Advisory Board member in 1999, bringing her area of expertise as a Chautauqua County Foster Care worker to the youth mentoring component of Compeer. Since that time Gail has toiled passionately for Compeer in a variety of ways. She has been a strong supporter of the events that target people who do not have a volunteer. Whenever she

is able, Gail attends events to offer friendship to someone waiting for a volunteer. Gail hosted a “Friends for a Day” event at the Stockton Dog Show, taking care of the entire event because there was no staff availability. Since her retirement, Gail has become a Compeer mentor and has taken over the role of Craft Leader for the women’s group. Compeer Director Jann Ball says, “We can count on Gail to be an active worker at fundraisers or events as needed. She successfully solicits prizes and donations and often makes personal donations to our causes.” In conclusion, Jann Ball commented, “Gail’s quiet and unassuming commitment to support, grow and enhance programs for our Compeer family of adults and youth striving for better mental health has been a mainstay over the last 13 years.” Gail is this year’s recipient of the Bernice Skirboll Award, named for the founder of Compeer.

Local ‘Day of Prayer’ at Chautauqua Fairgrounds By Kathy Rankin

April 26, 2012 Edition – Main Section – A

p.m. Please remember to bring your own chair or blanket. The focus of this year’s event is “reconciliation.” Guest speakers, prayer leaders and musicians from several local churches will unite for this cause. Over ten churches are on board to support the call of reconciling ourselves with God, reconciling our churches and reconciling our communities and families. This year marks the sixty first annual National Day of Prayer. In 1952, President Harry S. Truman signed a proclamation declaring the observance of the day into law. In 1988, President Ronald Reagan amended

the law, proclaiming the first Thursday of every May the National Day of Prayer. Each year, all 50 governors sign a proclamation endorsing the day as well. Please feel welcome to join with others. Let’s put aside our differences and focus on what we have in common: our God, who is the God of reconciliation. For more information, please contact Marc Samworth at 716-673-1661 or Ronnie Lafferty 716-679-4918. You can also visit the website at nationaldayofprayer.org .

Pizza Village By Dusten Rader Entertainment Editor

Everyone has a favorite slice of pizza. There are often several pizzerias in any given city giving people plenty of options to choose from. However, not many can match the quality and freshness found at Dunkirk’s Pizza Village. After serving the Dunkirk and Fredonia area for over 30 years, Pizza Village has become the one stop shop for pizza, wings, chicken fingers, subs and more. The Pizza Village owner and operator, Tom Panasci, opened his pizzeria more than 30 years ago in a small store front on Brigham Road. With only two pizza places in the area, Panasci saw a need for something new. “We use high quality products on our pizza including Sor-

rento Mozzarella, top of the line tomato sauce and fresh produce from Brigiotta’s of Jamestown,” said Panasci. After nearly three years at the Brigham Road location, Panasci moved the restaurant to its current location on Lakeshore Drive. The Building, previously a Red Barn restaurant, has been completely remodeled and the dining area expanded. Pizza Village offers diners one of the areas only full service pizza dining experiences. Panasci has several dedicated employees including Jim Rowley, Rich Hazelton, and Dana Wright, who have been with him for over 20 years. With their help, Panasci has been able to keep his loyal customers happy and coming back for more. “We’ve held our own over the years and I’m very fortunate

Flavor of the Week Cont. from page 5 that the local Dunkirk and Fredonia area has supported us for 30 years,” said Panasci. “I think success is built on a lot of hard work and the people that work with you. You can’t do everything yourself and I’ve been fortunate to have good people work for me.” Another thing that keeps people coming back is that Pizza Village has an extensive menu that includes a great number of specials to allow customers to enjoy a large portion of product at a reasonable price. And, with all day delivery available to the Dunkirk and Fredonia area there is no reason not to give Pizza Village a try. But, for those who feel like eating in the restaurant offers

a large dining area with an old pizzeria style atmosphere. From the checkered floors, to the pastel colored booths and classic décor Pizza Village is sure to bring customers back to the good old times. And, when enjoying a meal at the restaurant guests are sure to be greeted by Panasci himself or one of his hard working employees who know that customer is king. “We strive to have warm, personal and friendly service,” said Panasci. “If you have a problem then we will do our best to take care of it.” There are a few dine in specials that give the customer a great deal on a large portion of product. The specials start at lunch with the option of half a sub with a trip to the

salad bar or french fries, a slice of pizza with two chicken fingers or five wings or an all you can eat soup and salad bar for just $5.79. The dine in specials continue throughout the day with the option for a large one topping pizza, 20 chicken wings or 8 chicken fingers and one order of garlic bread sticks for a total of $25.95. There is also a smaller option available that includes a medium one topping pizza, 10 chicken wings or 4 chicken fingers and an order of garlic bread sticks for $17.95. Another great aspect of dining in is that customers can order a beer or a glass of wine while enjoying a slice of pizza. “Our pizza is made with fresh dough that is a family recipe

created by my parents with a homemade recipe for the sauce,” said Panasci. “We strive to offer good food at a reasonable prices.” There are even combos starting at $8.95 up to $40.95 for those who don’t want to dine in. But, one of the specials on the menu that stands out from the rest is The Village Special Pizza. This delicious creation is loaded with pepperoni, ham, Italian sausage, mushrooms, green peppers, onions, mild banana peppers, black and green olives. “The Village Special Pizza is our version of the loaded pizza,” said Panasci. “It basically includes everything that we offer.” But, for those who don’t desire a slice there are plenty

of other options to choose from as well. There are about 15 made to order subs, fresh salads, soups and appetizers like onion rings, fried zucchini, cauliflower, mini tacos, pizza logs and mozzarella stix. Wings and chicken fingers with home made recipe sauces ranging from mild to hot, butter garlic, BBQ, honey garlic, Cajun, honey mustard and lemon pepper are also a must try. “We’ve made upgrades to our menu over the years and I think it shows,” said Panasci. “People know quality when they see it. There is nothing cheap back here. We use only the highest quality products, lunch meats and ingredients.” Being in operation for thirty years may speak for itself

but without trying the Pizza Village experience themselves customers won’t know why Panasci’s pizzeria has become the longest operating retailer on Route 5. Stop in soon to be reminded of why a restaurant with consistent quality of food and service becomes a local favorite. “If you’re looking for a quality product with friendly service and reasonable prices that’s why you should come to Pizza Village,” said Panasci. Pizza Village is located at 71 Lake Shore Drive West in Dunkirk and is open daily at 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. For more information call 716-366-7521 or visit dunkirkpizzavillage. com.

The works of 11 students from the Department of Visual Arts and New Media at SUNY Fredonia will be displayed in the Cathy and Jesse Marion Art Gallery at Rockefeller Arts Center beginning Friday, April 27.

The Senior Show II exhibition will open with a reception in the art gallery from 7 to 9 p.m. on April 27. The show will run through Thursday, May 3. Both the reception and exhibition are free and open to the public. The exhibition will highlight the best works from graduating students. Artists taking part in the exhibition are Ra-

Chris Passamonte and Claire Stuczynski. Chris is best known as the main song writer and front man for the local Alt Country band, the Bogarts. This is a tremendously well-respected band, due in no small measure to the leadership of Chris Passamonte. Not only do the songs he writes hearken back truly and beautifully to a different time in America, when the Flying Burrito Brothers, the Byrds, and Hank Williams dotted the musical landscape, but his guitar work recalls some of the coolest early

country rock had to offer, and maybe even a little Lowell George. This will be a rare chance to hear Chris’ music stripped down without his band, only accompanied by Bogarts pedal steel/mandolin player, Warren Syscho. (For a review of the Bogarts latest cd by freelance writer Bess Raynor, take a look at the “Woodsongs Coffeehouse Radio Hour with Ken Hardley” Facebook page.) Claire Stuczynski is a singer/ songwriter from Erie, Pennsylvania. She has been playing and writing since the age of thirteen. Claire mostly performs as a solo artist but occasionally plays with others. Claire is currently touring in parts of the northeast including an appearence at the House of Blues, Cleveland, OH and opening for Big Leg Emma in Erie, PA. Claire resides in Cleveland, OH but her origin is in Erie, PA. The show is being recorded

on Thursday, April 26 at the Labyrinth Press Company, 12 E. Fourth St, Jamestown, NY. The show starts at 6:45. More than ever, it is important to arrive early for a seat. The room has been filling up long before the show starts. (We know this has been a growing problem and will be directly addressing it before next season. We appreciate everyone’s patience.) Other important Woodsongs items: JUNE 3 at the Southern Tier Brewery in Lakewood, NY. The Season Finale and the annual WRFA Fundraiser! A tribute to the Grateful Dead. 16 musical acts: The Modified Nouns, Pat and Rosie Maloney, Cindy Haight, Jamie Trussler, Paul Liuzzo, Marla Harris, The Haybalers, Steve Piper, Bruce Diamond, Blue Magoo, Gina Vecchio, Cammy Enaharo, David Allen Coester, and Ship of Fools (with Jeff Erickson, Nate Arnone, Steve Davis, Jay Peterson, and Matt Tillotson). 1:00pm to 4:00pm. Details to come. And this will be the last Woodsongs Coffeehouse Radio Hour show. Next season we will be known as “Rolling Hills Radio”. The show will remain the same in its essence and the concept remains entirely unchanged. But stay tuned for a new look, a new logo, more great artists and some surprises.

SUNY Fredonia, a reputation earned largely because of his physical presence at so many on- and off-campus events. Indeed, President Hefner understood that the community was critical to the success of the college, and vice versa. This was clearly exhibited when he served on the board of the former Northern Chautauqua Chamber of Commerce and helped its leaders embrace the idea of moving to a singular, county-wide chamber. “He helped this county embrace the idea that we are one community,” says Karen West, Senior Director of Development of the College Foundation. “A local graduate from the 1950s came up to me recently and said that the ‘town-gown’ relationship has never been stronger, and that is directly attributable to Dennis Hefner.” Those sentiments are echoed by Doug Manly, the retired chief executive officer of Fredonia’s Red Wing Co., and

a former and now honorary member of the Fredonia College Foundation Board of Directors who, together with his late wife, Ann, has been one of the campus’ staunchest supporters. “I have lived in Fredonia for 54 years and have been closely interested in SUNY Fredonia during all of that period,” Mr. Manly says. “Since Dennis has been president, he has developed a closer communication between the university and business leaders at many levels.” As important as these paradigm shifts were, his biggest

contribution to the community is likely the Technology Incubator, which he concepted and made a reality in late 2009. Despite having a nearly 250-acre campus to work with, Dr. Hefner saw the importance of putting this new facility in an area where it could do the most good for the most people. He worked for years with lawmakers and other leaders at the local, county, state and federal levels to make the project a reality. “President Hefner’s work and legacy are not just visible within the confines of the campus, but extend well into

the entire community and region,” adds Senator Young. “Since opening its doors over two years ago, the Technology Incubator already has proven to be a major force in economic development in our region. I worked closely with President Hefner to make this resource a reality, and already 16 start-up companies are adding innovation, economic growth and jobs.” In addition, Hefner states “I began pushing for rational tuition during my first year here,” a concept of setting a series of small, manageable, predictable increases to tuition. This policy, he argued, would allow SUNY campuses to better forecast their revenue, improve their ability to provide students with classes, and compete more effectively. It took 15 years, but New York State finally voted a fiveyear rational tuition policy into law in 2011, with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo.

For all of his accomplishments, President Hefner says there are some things that have not yet been addressed to his standards, including ensuring that retention and graduation rates are more consistent across all ethnic groups, and improving the retention rates of newly hired faculty. Also, despite the $360 million in construction funds he secured during what many have come to refer to as a “second building renaissance” in the campus’ history, he wishes he could have obtained more. “We’re still two major buildings behind where I think we need to be,” he says. He also knows there are still many opportunities for future growth and areas of distinction for the next president to focus on. “My philosophy has always been to build on your strengths, and that’s why we have expanded music, education, the sciences and communication,” says Dr. Hefner. “As we move forward and receive accreditation [from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business] - and we’re well along that path - and as our incubator keeps bringing us greater recognition for our accomplishments in economic development, I think that the School of Business will be seen as another strength of the campus. We will continue to be strong in multiple areas - and that, of course, is what any campus wants. You don’t want to be known for just one program; you want to be known for many.” Students have always been his paramount focus, and that will continue well after he has retired. He and Jan have set up the Hefner Presidential Scholarship Endowment Fund, designed to provide a substantial annual scholarship for low-income, academically high-performing students. The initial award, which is expected to be among the most prestigious on campus, will be made to a freshman and renewable up to three years.

How many college students can say they met their college’s president? At Fredonia, many students can say this. From my first tour at Fredonia as a high school senior, I remember the tour guide telling us, “Our President really gets to know the students.” Did that ever hold true! I think many students can attest that President Hefner is a Students’ President. He is everywhere -- whether it’s attending

basketball games and musical performances or supporting student group events. Even when he’s simply walking around campus, he always takes the time to talk to students. He genuinely cares about us and our college experience. Through his work, we were one of the first colleges in the state to guarantee its students a bachelor’s degree in four years. His success on campus can be seen in many ways, such as the new construction, a diverse student population and increased enrollment. During his presidency, Dr. Hefner

was able to secure funding for University Commons, which has now become a staple in student life! The new Campus and Community Children’s Center is also a great facility. As an Education major, it has given me and my classmates the chance to help out and observe in classrooms. New construction will continue after his retirement with the new Science Center, a fitness center and other initiatives which will positively impact future students for decades to come. The student population has come a long way since

President Hefner first arrived. Fredonia enrollment has grown tremendously, especially in international students. The recent partnership with Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (HUFS) in Seoul, Korea, has brought 90 new students to Fredonia, increasing our diversity and our global awareness and understanding. Diversity is one of the things that makes Fredonia so unique. Although I have only known President Hefner for three years, I have been able to see firsthand at what an inspirational leader he has been.

Dennis L. Hefner, Ph.D. President, SUNY Fredonia Dennis Hefner was appointed president of the State University of New York at Fredonia, the westernmost comprehensive four-year campus in the SUNY system, in fall 1996.

He assisted the then new California State University campus in Monterey to achieve accreditation, and also has held part-time teaching positions at the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center, Washington State University, and the University of Maryland, College Park. Early in his career he spent two years working at the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare in Washing-

ton, D.C., and one year as the national Director of Research for PAID Prescriptions, Inc. He received his BA degree in Economics from California State University, Chico and his MA and PhD degrees in Economics from Washington State University. He has published dozens of refereed journal articles, received more than 50 externally funded research grants, most in the area of Health Economics, and, from 1973-1976, designed and administered a pilot project providing outpatient prescription drugs to more than 5,000 seniors, the first external pilot project ever funded by Medicare. He was selected as a “charter” recipient for the Faculty Professional Achievement Award in recognition for outstanding scholarly research by California State University, Chico He formerly chaired the Teacher Education Committee

for the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, is a member of the Christa McAuliffe in Teacher Education Award Committee, is a Board member of the Lake Erie Regional Health System of New York and the Chautauqua Integrated Delivery System, and an original Board member for the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce. Some of the honors he has received include the Outstanding Alumnus Award from California State University, Chico; Businessman of the Year from Fredonia Chamber of Commerce; Outstanding Executive Award for Western New York from the Public Relations Society of America; Chautauqua County Association of Educational Office Professionals “Administrator of the Year Award;” and Chautauqua Leadership Network’s “Leader of the Year” Award.

The Sojourn by Andrew Krivak Wins 2012 Chautauqua Prize Contributed article Chautauqua Institution

Chautauqua Institution is pleased to announce The Sojourn (Bellevue Literary Press) by Andrew Krivak as the first-ever winner of The Chautauqua Prize. The Chautauqua Prize is a new national prize that celebrates a book of fiction or literary/narrative nonfiction that provides a richly rewarding reading experience and honors the author for a significant contribution to the literary arts. “I feel honored to be part of this new tradition at Chautauqua Institution, and to be recognized by a place with such a long-standing commitment to art and literature in America,” Krivak said. As author of the winning book, Krivak receives $7,500 and all travel and expenses for a one-week summer residency at Chautauqua, a not-for-profit educational and cultural center in Southwestern New York state. He will host a public reading and book signing on August 6, 2012 on the Institution grounds. The Sojourn was chosen from a finalist shortlist that includes five other titles: All Cry Chaos (The Permanent Press) by Leonard Rosen; Caleb’s Crossing (Viking) by Geraldine Brooks; In The Garden of Beasts (Crown) by Erik Larson; We Are Taking Only What We Need (BkMk Press) by Stephanie Powell Watts; and

Why Read Moby-Dick? (Viking) by Nathaniel Philbrick. “We are simply delighted by the jury’s decision on the winner and the finalists,” said Sherra Babcock, director of Chautauqua Institution’s Department of Education, which coordinated the prize selection process. “These six titles represent a remarkably wide cross-section of great modern American literature.” The Chautauqua Prize reviewers called The Sojourn “a novel of uncommon lyricism and moral ambiguity.” It tells the story of young Jozef Vinich, uprooted from a 19th-century mining town in Colorado by a shocking family tragedy, as he returns with his father to an impoverished shepherd’s life in rural Austria-Hungary. When war comes, Jozef is sent as a sharpshooter to the southern front, where he must survive the killing trenches, a perilous trek across the frozen Italian Alps, and capture by a victorious enemy. Krivak, the grandson of Slovak immigrants, lives with his wife and three children in Somerville, Mass., and teaches in the Honors Program at Boston College. The Sojourn is his first novel. With a history steeped in the literary arts, Chautauqua Institution is the home of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle, founded in 1878 and believed to be the oldest continuous book club in the country. The CLSC honors nine outstanding books of

fiction, nonfiction, essays and poetry every summer. The Sojourn, while not officially designated as a CLSC selection, will count toward members’ reading lists, ensuring continued readership into the future by thousands of active readers. Further literary arts programming at Chautauqua includes summer-long interaction of published and aspiring writers at the Chautauqua Writers’ Center, the intensive workshops of the nationally recognized Chautauqua Writers’ Festival, and lectures by prominent authors on the art and craft of writing. The preeminent expression of lifelong learning in the United States, Chautauqua Institution is a 138-year-old community on the shores of Chautauqua Lake in southwestern New York state that comes alive each summer with a unique mix of fine and performing arts, lectures, interfaith worship and programs, and recreational activities. Over the course of nine weeks, more than 100,000 people visit Chautauqua and participate in programs, classes and community events for all ages — all within the beautiful setting of a historic lakeside village. Details on The Chautauqua Prize, including submission guidelines for 2013, are online at http://www.ciweb.org/prize.

YMCA: Making Our Community Safer for Kids Contributed Article Jamestown YMCA

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month and the Jamestown Area Family YMCA is reminding kids and adults about the important issues of child safety and the prevention of child abuse. YMCAs are New York’s largest provider of after school programs, with more than 700 child care and youth development programs. Ys provide affordable programs for children to their communities and create a welcoming environment where kids are encouraged to create friendships, learn and develop confidence. The Jamestown Area YMCAs have launched a child safety

initiative to ensure the safety of all kids at the Y and engage the public in building a safer community. To ensure that the Jamestown Area YMCAs have the resources and knowledge to continuously enhance safety, prevention and training procedures, the Jamestown Area YMCAs have joined a statewide initiative to advance child safety both within YMCA programs and throughout the community. “We are continuing our proactive approach to address child safety by partnering with experts in the field and enhancing our role to more effectively serve our communities,” said Mark G. Eckendorf, YMCA Chief Executive Officer. “We will do everything we

can to make our facilities, programs and services safer. Providing a safe and secure environment for children and youth at the Y gives families more peace of mind.” The YMCA is working towards ensuring that all programs and facilities are safe for children by implementing new Youth Protection Guidelines that are designed to educate parents, staff and children about best practices when coming to the YMCA. “These policies not only help parents when bringing their children to the YMCA, but they can be implemented as best practices for families when taking their children anywhere,” said Ronda Piazza, YMCA Child Care Executive. “Parents can help ensure their child’s safety by taking an

active interest in their daily experiences and making plans with their child that include safety precautions while they are away from home.” As a leading nonprofit committed to strengthening community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, the Y works to ensure every child has an opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. This philosophy drives the Jamestown Area YMCAs commitment to provide children and youth with a safe environment and high quality child care programs. For more information about the Jamestown Area YMCAs Child Safety Initiative, contact Piazza at (716)664-2802 ext. 222.

Happy? Positive Outlook May Be Good For Your Heart By Lauran Neergaard AP

Be happy, it seems to be good for your heart. Scientists have long known that Type A personalities and people who are chronically angry, anxious or depressed have a higher risk of heart attacks. Now a Harvard review of the flip side of that psychology concludes that being upbeat and optimistic just may help protect against heart disease. Rather than focusing only on how to lessen heart risks, “it might also be useful to focus on how we might bolster the positive side of things,” said lead researcher Julia Boehm of

the Harvard School of Public Health. Boehm reviewed dozens of studies examining a positive outlook as determined by various psychological measurements on heart health. Optimism in particular seems key, as a number of studies found the most optimistic people had half the risk of a first heart attack when compared to the least optimistic, Boehm said. Why? Previous work shows the stress associated with negative psychological traits can lead to damage of arteries and the heart itself. Boehm found that people with a better sense of well-being tend to have healthier blood pressure, cholesterol and

weight, and are more likely to exercise, eat healthier, get enough sleep and avoid smoking. But she cautioned that it will take more research to tease apart if a positive outlook makes people feel more like taking heart-healthy steps or whether living healthier helps you feel more positive. The review, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, was published by the Psychological Bulletin. More research is needed but that link between psychological and physical well-being makes sense, said Dr. Elizabeth Jackson of the University of Michigan and American College of Cardiology, who wasn’t involved with the review. Among her own heart

patients, she has noticed that those who feel they have some control over their lives and are invested in their care have better outcomes. What if you’re by nature a pessimist? “That’s a hard question. There’s no magic happy pill,’’ Jackson said. Some research has found that asking people to smile helps put them in a better mood, Boehm noted, although longterm effects aren’t clear. “Sometimes it’s hard, particularly in tough economic times, but taking a moment to just relax and enjoy a sunny day might be good heart health,’’ Jackson said.

The Weekly Word The Still Small Voice

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church of the Southern Tier

We have many voices intruding into our lives today. Cell phones, TV, movies, internet, music, and radio are delivering more voices into our lives than at any other time in history. And as we turn up the volume on those voices we may be reducing the volume of God’s voice speaking within our hearts. Mankind is being trained to listen outwardly. But this is what we have forgotten: God speaks inwardly. And now humanity is seeking outward signs from an inward speaking God. When the Pharisees challenged Jesus to prove His deity, they asked Him to give them a sign. Jesus replied in Matthew 12:39, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign…” These Pharisees were trapped in their own carnality. They had learned to trust their eyes and faith, in their definition, required a tangible event before they would believe. Jesus called that “evil.” Our generation is no different. Many of God’s own people have swal-

lowed this twisted idea that God is speaking to us through natural circumstances. Yes, we can look upon some natural things and see where God has blessed us. But this natural realm is a poor compass for the future. You cannot discern God’s specific plan for your life by looking at circumstances. 1 Kings 19:11-12 gives us a good look at how God does speak to us. It says, “And behold the Lord passed by and a great and strong wind rent the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord, BUT THE LORD WAS NOT IN THE WIND, and after the wind there was an earthquake, BUT THE LORD WAS NOT IN THE EARTHQUAKE, and after the earthquake a fire, BUT THE LORD WAS NOT IN THE FIRE, and after the fire A STILL SMALL VOICE.” This is where we all have missed it at one time or another: We waited for God to give us an “earthquake” or a “wind” or something natural so we can understand His plan. But God isn’t going to speak to you that way. He is going to speak to you in a still small voice. Small voices and whispers

Keeping the Faith

Dear Pastor, how do I get the most out of attending Church? are only understood by those that are close by. If I whisper to you from across the room you won’t hear me. You are too far away. In the same way, God requires you to be close to Him to hear His voice. This is the problem; God’s people don’t fellowship with Him and therefore don’t hear Him. He is talking, but His whisper has been drowned by the multitude of voices in our natural ears. Your heart, or spirit, is like a radio tuner. It is capable of picking up voices but it must be tuned correctly before the voice becomes intelligible. When I need to make a decision, I don’t look at the natural, I listen for God’s leading on the inside. God’s voice is like wind blowing over hot coals. His voice reacts within my heart and gives me a “burning” of what to do or not to do. Romans 8:16 says, “The Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirit…” This is the mark of spirituality: listening and obeying God from within. Don’t become a slave to your senses. That leads to destruction.Trust the guide on the inside.

By Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church of Chautauqua County

I always say that “you only get out what you put in.” This is also true when it comes to our worship experience. In this column I would like to share some principles that will help us all get more out of our church attendance. Mark 4:24 declares, “Then He (Jesus) said to them, ‘Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be

given.’” In this scripture, Jesus encourages us to pay attention to our attitude when we hear His Word. A teachable heart and a desire to learn will help us get something from the scriptures or what is being taught. On the contrary, with an unteachable heart, we’re not going to get much out of the Word.This principle is also true concerning our attending church. In most churches, there is a time of worship, prayer, and teaching of God’s Word. If you approach these with a good attitude, pay attention, and participate in the church service, Jesus promises that you’ll receive much! I would also encourage you to prepare your heart before you attend a church service. Rather than worrying if you’re going to find a parking place, take a few minutes to pray and focus your attention on God. Ask God to show you what you need to learn today and how to make you a blessing to others. I also encourage you to ignore any distractions during

the service. Other people may do or say things that you may not like but taking offense at these things will occupy your thinking and keep you from the blessings that God has for you that day (Matthew 18:7). Another thing that I have noticed is that the people who are fully rested are better able to receive. Being tired or fighting fatigue can keep us from hearing what God wants for us. There is an old saying that, “you can’t hoot with the owls at night and expect to soar with the eagles in the morning.” Remember, the devil may set traps to get you sidetracked, especially if the message would have been helpful to you. A wise Christian recognizes that these are only attempts to be distracted and makes a decision to focus on the blessing ahead!

SENIOR SECTION Edgewood Communities to Host Celebration Event Contributed Article Lutheran Social Services

Edgewood Communities on the Lutheran Campus is sponsoring a fun, educational and motivational event. Celebrating the Best of Times, Life After 60! will be held in the Scharmann Theatre and the Weeks Room at Jamestown Community College on Thursday, May 3 from 8:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. “Bring your spouse, parents, or come with a friend,” said Patty Eckwahl, event coordinator and marketing director for Lutheran. “This event is unique. It is not about blood pressures or finances. It’s about the joy that comes as we age and the importance of embracing our retirement years to be our recreation years.” The 60’s and 70’s are some of the best years of life. It’s a time when children are grown and grandchildren are wonderful.

Most adults are settled into careers or entering retirement. The key to enjoying these years is to have a plan. Leading the program will be two highly entertaining keynote presentations. “You’ve Gotta be Kidding” by Catherine Ansuini, PhD., Director of the Community Health Promotion initiative and Masters Degree Program at Buffalo State College and “Building Net Mirth” by Nels Ross Cremean, CEO of InJest, Inc. “Both presenters bring an energetic, humorous delivery that will create a laugh out loud experience,” Eckwahl added. “Our goal is to add zest, and celebrate turning the page on this new chapter in life.” Following the keynote presentation, experts in the field of planning for retirement will lead a discussion about their personal stories and offer advice on the Five Most Common Mistakes to

Avoid in Retirement. Audience participation is encouraged. “This is our unique way of educating the community on the resources available for active senior living,” Eckwahl said. “We’ll also be showcasing many of the activities available in our region with interactive displays presented by retirees who live here.” The Edgewood planning committee members are: Gladys Morse, Sandy Carlson, Judy Young, Jeanette Carlson, Mary Lou Scully, Harry Glatz, Gordy Black, and Sue Abdella. Registration begins at 8:30, with the program starting at 9:00. The event is free. Seating is limited. Please make a reservation by calling Ms. Eckwahl at 720-9122 or going on line to www.lutheranjamestown.org. This event is not sponsored by JCC and the presence of the event on campus does not reflect the college’s endorsement of the event.

Tech Training 101

By Scott Wise Staff Writer

The world is slowly but surely digitizing with each passing day. In an effort to bring everyone up to speed on all things technological, we are beginning a weekly column called ‘Tech Training 101’ where the Chautauqua Star’s own Scott Wise will guide readers through the basics of computing. Lesson 4: When last we ‘met’, I wrote to you about Operating Systems, and the differences therein. Please bear in mind that with anything we cover in this column, there is a whole world of information much deeper than I’m willing (or qualified) to cover. You can always contact a professional service for more information, or search for yourself online. Speaking of searching online, that’s what we’re going to cover (or begin to cover) today- the Internet. First; a brief history. The Internet was originally designed and implemented by the United States Military in the

1960s as a means of secure communication between two computers. Using a phone line, the two computers shared data using point-to-point communication, and the Internet was born. Throughout the remaining years of the 20th century, the development of the Internet was privatized and began to be governed by various organizations. Today, the Internet is immensely vast, being used by over one third of the world’s population. There is no person or company who owns the Internet or can dictate who can use the Internet. Immense amounts of data are transferred nearly instantaneously from one side of the world to the other via supercomputers set up as ‘web servers,’ or a specific place where parts of the Internet are hosted. Today, the Internet is an integral part of our society. What some fail to realize, however, is that the World Wide Web and the Internet are actually two different things. The World Wide Web is what you see on your computer when you log onto a website. For

instance, if you go to your computer, open up an Internet browser such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox, and type in ‘www.starnewsdaily.com,’ you are viewing the World Wide Web. The Web operates on top of the Internet. Think of it like this. After a Zamboni cleans up an ice rink, you’ve got a nice smooth surface to work on. As the figure skater takes her place on the ice and begins her routine, lines form in the ice. These visible lines eventually form an artistic web on the ice that you can see and touch. That’s how the World Wide Web works. It’s your window into the Internet, the way you connect to the other computers in the world. I think that’s enough information for this week. Next week, I’ll get into how you can actually use the Internet at your home, and get the most out of it. If you have a tech question you want Scott to answer, write to scott.wise@maytumcompany. com. Check back next week for the next edition of Tech Training 101.

Charlie’s BMX: Fun For The Whole Family By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

Beginning next Saturday, May 5, Charlie’s BMX will kick off another year of fun and excitement, as riders of all ages will take part in a summer-long racing season that runs every Saturday, weather permitting. The track, located at 4400 ½ Dutch Hollow Road in Bemus Point — in Ellery Center, past the fire hall — has actually been open since 1978. A volunteer, Jason Farrar has been riding at this very same track since he was young. It’s something he’s passed on to his son and now does just about everything to keep things running smoothly at the track. “I’ve sort of been nominated as the de facto public relations guy,” Farrar said. “But, this is really all about the kids. It was a great time for me, it’s a great time for these kids.” Farrar said kids as young as 2 will hop on a bike and go around the track, and while it’s geared for literally any interested person regardless of age, the amount of interest from kids is what brings out the biggest crowd. His favorite part is filming Charlie's BMX season will open this Saturday at 7 p.m. The track is open to the races and even runs a Facebook anybody interested and has no age limitations.

“We want every kid to go home with something,” Farrar said. “It’s not about winning and losing, it’s about having a good time. And we love to make sure these kids go home with something after each race.” While all open houses are free to the public, the track does offer other days throughout the year for nonmembers. This year, the Olympic Day will be held Saturday, June 23 and will be open to anyone. Also, The Race for Life and the Bob Warnicke Scholarships races are free. Race days are every Tuesday and Saturday and have registration beginning at 5:30 p.m. Admission is free and open to anyone, with a pair of bleachers on both sides of the track. And with a full speaker system around the track, viewers can hear exactly who is doing what from the announcer watching in the tower. In addition, concessions are sold at the stand, which as Farrar said, is run by more volunteers. Recently the course became a part of the American Bicycle Association (ABA) and serves as a qualifier for the state later in the year. The USA BMX actually has nearly 380 sanctioned tracks across the United States and Canada. Also, the $45 membership fee is good throughout all of them. Farrar said he has a bunch of new plans for the year too. When I bumped into him last week, he was prepping the track for an overhaul outside of the first turn. In addition, he’s trying to get JNK’s Call of the Wild Sanctuary in on a race day. “We’d love to get some exotic animals over here to the track and just make it as much of a total-family experi-

Winter Weather Halts Spring Sports Seasons By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

There were a few times throughout the winter sports season where the weather would have actually permitted outdoor sporting events. Unfortunately, it finally caught up with Western New York. A decent March allowed the baseball and softball teams enough to prepare for the season. But, a brutal April finally hit its boiling point — or freezing point in this case — with a brutal weekend capped by Monday’s snow or rain, depending where you are. A few county schools closed Monday, but all events were scrapped. Granted, it’s not the first time schools have been forced to cancel games at some point in a season, but this week could be a severe scheduling blow for the future, especially if forecasted rain for the rest of the week keeps up. But even before the rain, early April yielded less than warm weather (to be expected for sure). It’s part of the reason, numerous schools head down south for their spring break to get a few games in. Dunkirk, Frewsburg, Westfield, Jamestown and Southwestern were all at the Mingo Bay Classic in Myrtle Beach, S.C., but that’s just not possible for every school. “The wind takes a lot of fun of the game,” Fredonia head baseball coach Vince Gullo told me after a game back on April 10. It was dry that day, but a strong wind and temperatures around 55 had any fan in attendance covered by blankets. Imagine how the players felt. “It’s hard to play defense in this weather,” he said. “It’s really unfortunate that half of our games are in this type of weather, but it’s the mentally

good practice, though.” Frewsburg though, had a scheduled day off Monday anyhow. Still, coach Grann said they probably would have practiced if not for the weather. Now, it’s about staying in the groove and hoping the weather doesn’t continue its current ways. “The forecast for (Wednesday) that I’m looking at isn’t too bad,” Grann said. “The longer they layoff the bigger concern, so hopefully we can get back out there Wednesday.” Frewsburg was supposed to play at Randolph, but Grann said the game would likely be moved to Frewsburg because the conditions were still pretty bad at Randolph late Tuesday. Grann credited a little bit better of a drainage system at Frewsburg, but knew they couldn’t take on much more rain regardless. “We’ve got a few puddles, but noth-

But there’s only so many baseball or softball related things you can in a gymnasium. “For me, it’s nice to have the guys get back in the cage,” Grann said. “We were just starting to find a groove since coming back from South Carolina and we want to keep that up.” Anyhow, with Monday and Tuesday’s schedule wiped clean, the rest of the week is up in the air.

Time Is Now For Bills To Cash In On Draft

Billy Pa., field and.

and ore

ew.

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

Pardon me for being so blunt, but if you ever want the Buffalo Bills to be relevant again — or better yet, good — then the time is now more than ever for the Bills to cash in on a first round pick. Granted, come Thursday night, we’ll have just as little of an idea as now — or even five months from now — on whether or not the Bills cashed in, but Thursday will be a defining moment to see if the Bills front office knows what they’re doing. That’s not to say I, or you, know any better than them. But somebody tell me what a rookie running back or defensive lineman can offer this team? Editors note: That’s me saying please don’t draft Trent Richardson or any of the fine defensive ends out there. Lets face it, a 6-10 record suggests plenty of holes, plenty of weaknesses and an obvious thought process that the playoffs aren’t just around the corner. And no matter how awesome the first seven weeks of last season were, the Bills let us know just how far away they are. But that’s where the offseason comes into play. An atrocious defense suddenly has shown some life — or at least promise. The Bills signed the best free agent not named Peyton Manning (Mario Williams) to bolster a severely weak pass rush. Then, they added Mark Anderson (10 sacks for New England last year) to put an exclamation point on the previous sentence. A new, proven defensive coordinator brought along the switch from the “lost-in-space” 3-4 to the 4-3, in which the current roster is blatantly built for. I’m not trying to convince you that the pieces are in place to finally end the playoff drought, but I’m saying they could be. Look, we’d love it if Donte Whitner were a pro bowl safety, if Leodis McKelvin was a shutdown corner or if Aaron Maybin was Brian Orakpo. But, they’re not and McKelvin is the only one left — for now. In fact, besides Marshawn Lynch in 2008, the last first round pick to make the pro bowl (as a member of the Bills) was 2001 pick Nate Clements. But thanks to some quality picks late in the draft, the Bills haven’t suffered too terribly from all those misses. Sure, the team hasn’t made the playoff since 1999, but finding talent elsewhere has kept the Bills at least somewhat above water for the last decade. Is that a good thing? Well not necessarily, but it’s better than being 2-14 every year. Regardless, with all this buzz from the signing of Mario Williams and Anderson, the progress of holdovers Kyle Williams and Marcell Dareus and the re-signing of younger players Stevie Johnson and Scott Chandler, now is absolutely the time for the Bills to finally hit

on a mid-first round pick. So I’m going to plead with them not to take any offensive tackle not named Matt Kalil. I watch a lot of college football and while I’m in no way shape or form an NFL scout, it’s fairly obvious that Kalil is the only “safe” tackle out there. Maybe I’m still suffering from post-Mike Williams stress disorder, but safer picks seem like they’ll be available at 10. And while tackle might be the most pressing need (especially with the loss of Demetrius Bell) the Bills could use a quality player at a few positions. And for that reason alone, I like heading elsewhere with that pick. But, quarterback is not one of those. Hey, Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin would be great, but Ryan Tannehill wouldn’t. People tend to forget that had Matt Barkley or Landry Jones decided to forgo their respective senior seasons, we still wouldn’t have heard of Tannehill. Heck if Brandon Weeden weren’t a 28-year-old ex-New York Yankee, it’d be the same way. But, that’s life in quarterbackdriven National Football League. The third best quarterback will always be a first round pick. OK, so where do they go? Above, I quickly hit on my dislike for a running back or defensive end. After all, I thought C.J. Spiller was overkill and Buffalo has 17 (SEVENTEEN!) defensive linemen on the roster already. Thus, I’d be more than happy if the Bills went in any of these three directions: wide receiver, cornerback or linebacker. It looks as though either Michael Floyd or Justin Blackmon will be available at 10. Some seem to think they’re equal, but I’m convinced Blackmon will be Calvin Johnson. That being said, Floyd won’t be a slouch, anyhow. At corner, I’m a huge fan of Stephon Gilmore — OK, I’m a big South Carolina fan, you got me. But Gilmore, to me, might be the best corner in the whole draft. I’ll save you my bias scouting report, but his size and speed is just as good as Claiborne’s. Finally, Luke Kuechly from Boston College is one of the best tacklers I’ve seen play college football in a long time. Granted, Paul Posluszny comes to mind when you talk about that topic, but Kuechly could add some sorely needed talent to the new core of linebackers. Again, I’m no scout, but I firmly believe in getting value in the draft. A lot of speculation out there has a few good tackles falling near the Bills second round pick. Are any of the aforementioned players potential MVPs? — I have no idea. But in my opinion, they appear to be instant playmakers at their respective positions. General Buddy Nix preached not drafting one-year wonders high in the draft. He’s stuck to his word and his picks are starting to pan out. He’ll have another great chance Thursday to improve this team. At least, come Friday morning, we’ll know the direction. After that, we’ll just have to wait and see if it’s the same old Aaron Maybin story or something different — a pro bowler, because, well it is possible after all.

SBU Basketball Players Teach Clinic For Special Olympians Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — Members of St. Bonaventure University's men's and women's basketball teams gave back on Saturday, April 21, to the communities that cheered them through their 2012 NCAA runs. They joined with SIFE and the SBU School of Education in welcoming 10 New York Special Olympics basketball teams to St. Bonaventure for a day of play and learning. Following registration and opening remarks, the Special Olympians worked with members of the St. Bonaventure men's and women's basketball teams to sharpen their passing, shooting and dribbling skills. SIFE members volunteered to supervise and help the Special Olympics athletes while their coaches attended their own clinic. Led by Bonaventure basketball coaches, the coaching clinic discussed strengthening and

conditioning techniques basketball players should employ, with a focus on implementing these exercises in a Special Olympics program. After a lunch break, the Bonaventure and Special Olympics athletes joined together on teams for a Unified Exhibition — two hours of round-robin scrimmages and friendly competition. Associate physical education professor Dr. Paula Scraba, who coordinated this clinic with the help of regional Special Olympics directors and directors of operations for St. Bonaventure basketball, said Bonaventure and Special Olympics athletes alike thoroughly enjoyed the day. Also joining the group for the day was Neal Johnson, CEO and president of Special Olympics New York, a member a SBU's class of 1973. The 136 Special Olympians and 35 coaches traveled to St. Bonaventure from across the Western New York and Genesee County regions.

In addition, the tournament supports the Woody Keyser Memorial Scholarship at Westfield Academy and Central School. Each year one graduating senior baseball or softball player who exhibits hard work, dedication and sportsmanship is the recipient of this award. Ten-man open modified teams are invited to participate in this family oriented-

event. There will be a $275 entry fee. The top three teams will receive prize money and commemorative shirts. To participate in the 2012 Woody Keyser Memorial Open Modified Tournament, please contact tournament director, Steve Keyser, at 716680-0207. Or, visit our website www.leaguelineup.com/thekeyser for more information.

the inclement weather over the past few days, the board decided to move the opening date back one week.

Bolen Completes Boston Marathon By Mark Benton Contributing Writer

On an unseasonably warm spring day, with temperatures in the mid 80's, the running of the 116th Boston Marathon took place. Due to the difficult conditions of extreme heat, many of the runners either waived their entrance into the race until next year or dropped out along the way of the 26-mile and 385-yard course. However, Gowanda's Dave Bolen completed his first attempt in the world's most famous marathon with a time of 3:33.52. In regards to runners from Western New York that took part in the event, Dave finished 11th. According to Bolen, the heat definitely played a factor in his attempt to equal the time (2:50.7) that he ran in the Buffalo Marathon last year. His training in the Gowanda area leading up to the race was done in much cooler temperatures when he ran in the morning and evening. "I experienced more cramping that I had anticipated due to

the heat,” admitted Bolen after finishing the race. Bolen was able to scale the famed "Heartbreak Hill" at the 20-mile mark of the course without much difficulty. However, when he began to transcend down the hill, the cramping in his legs became so sever that he was forced to walk like many other participants for short time to work out the cramps. At the conclusion of the race, he was quite satisfied to have completed the course with a respectable time but his body felt the effects of the grueling three plus hour grind. As a precautionary measure, Bolen was evaluated by the medical staff on duty and cleared. Dave was accompanied by his wife Shana, two sons Chase and Waston, plus his parents Steve and Rose Bolen. The longtime distance runner, who had success at both Gowanda Central School and The College at Brockport, said it was an experience of a lifetime. He plans on returning someday with a personal goal of breaking the three-hour mark.

Lap leader again denied win Some familiar scenarios played out at Kansas Speedway on Sunday as Martin Truex Jr. led a race-high 173 laps in the STP 400, but wound up getting beat by Denny Hamlin. It was the eighth time in 13 races at Kansas that the driver who led the most laps did not win. Hamlin’s victory was the 19th of his career and his second of 2012. He’s now fifth in the standings, 23 points behind leader Greg Biffle. Truex finished second and jumped two spots to second in the standings, 15 points out of the lead. For the second straight week, a Sprint Cup race set new records for speed and for caution flags. There were only three cautions at Kansas for 18 laps, breaking the old track records of five and 23 laps. That led to a record race speed of 144.122 miles per hour, topping the old mark of 138.077 mph set by Biffle in October 2010. The week before at Texas, there were two yellow flags for 10 laps, breaking the old track records of five yellows and 21 laps. That led to a new race record speed of 160.577 mph, breaking the mark of 152.705 mph set last fall by Tony Stewart.

Family tree, formerly known as ‘Ehrenhardt,’ explored by Dale Jr.

ale Earnhardt Jr.’s interest in racing history is well-documented, as anyone who ever watched his old “Back in the Day” TV show can attest. His interest in Earnhardt family history is just coming to light. It came out last week, during Earnhardt’s session with the media at Kansas Speedway, when he was asked about the visit to the White House by last year’s Chase participants. “I’d been there before, and it was pretty much the same tour, but every time you go through it I think you find something interesting that you missed the time before,” he said. “I didn’t really appreciate how old some of the artwork and stuff is in that house until I did some work on my family tree these last six months. “I’ve started to understand what 200 years really means or what 150 years truly means in the grand scope of things.” He said he’s spent a good bit of time lately researching his family tree and truly enjoyed it. “We don’t have time today to talk about how much fun I’ve had with working on my family

Ralph Earnhardt in an undated photo. (NASCAR photo) tree,” he said. “I was fortunate enough to find someone in the field of genealogy that helped me out, and I’m trying to put together some kind of a well-organized document to sort of be able to show to family members and what have you, and just keep so Kelley’s [Earnhardt’s sister] kids, and if I have any one day, they won’t have to do the work.” He said that before, he never thought about his ancestors who

came before his grandfather, the legendary short-track and NASCAR racer Ralph Earnhardt. “Ralph’s father, I didn’t know who he was and never really cared who he was, never thought about who he was, or what his family would be like,” Earnhardt said. “Never thought past Ralph all these years, and I started getting into his father and Ralph’s grandfather and I found their

burial plots, and so me and my grandmother Martha and my sister and my mom Brenda and my girlfriend rode up there one day, just in Kannapolis or Concord, and visited their burial plots and a lot of relatives that were born in like 1809 and 1822 and stuff like that.” He said his cemetery trip was a moving experience. “It’s really cool to stand there over somebody that is responsible for you being there. That was pretty neat.” A check of the common genealogy sites on the Internet indicates that the Earnhardt family has been in North Carolina since before 1800. Census records indicate they were mostly farmers and cotton mill workers. They appear to have come to North Carolina from Pennsylvania and were originally from the old German region of Pfalz, where the name was spelled “Ehrenhardt.” “I had people tell me to work on my family tree before, but I didn’t think it was that big of a deal,” Earnhardt said. “Once I got into it and started realizing the importance of it, it’s been a lot of fun.”

As tracks repaved, drivers lament loss of old surfaces Sunday’s race at Kansas Speedway was the final one on the existing asphalt surface. The track is being repaved because track officials have determined that the rough Kansas winters have damaged it to the point that there could be a major failure that could lead to a major delay in a race, or worse. Michigan International Speedway and Pocono Raceway also are to be, or have been, repaved this year, and Phoenix International Raceway has relatively new pavement. In the past, newly repaved race tracks are smoother and faster, but the racing for the first few years is a one-groove affair with little passing, as the fastest way around is usually right on the bottom groove. Drivers generally say that they’d rather see the track patched up because they prefer racing on a wornout surface. “I wouldn’t resurface tracks ever if it were up to me,” Carl Edwards said. “I’d patch up the holes and keep on running … “I know no one wants to sit through a delay while they fix a hole in the track. Those kind of things that have led to some of these repaves, I understand that we have to address those things, but I am a racer that likes to race on a bumpy, rough, slick race track with the cars sliding all over the

place … I don’t care if there are 20foot long patches of dirt in the middle of the race track, I’m happy.” Denny Hamlin said driving skill is less of a factor on a repaved race track. “When you don’t pave race tracks, and there’s tire wear, the driver shows up a lot more than what it does when you pave a race track [and] it becomes all about track position and how good your car is,” he said. “The driver is probably 65 percent of how you run [on a worn track]. On a brand new paved race track, I would say our numbers are probably down to 30 [percent] … “You see it at Rockingham, Atlanta – tracks like this where tires wear out. A driver can really, honestly

make a difference. When you’re running nearly wide open every single corner on new paved race tracks, there’s not much us drivers can do.” Jeff Gordon said he believes the tracks, like Bristol Motor Speedway in particular, are taking some blame for boring racing that should be directed at the “Car of Tomorrow.” “This car for the last five or six years has sort of put Goodyear, the tracks, everything into a different box,” he said. “I’m looking forward to the 2013 car, but I look forward to cars down the road to sort of take some of the things in this car that are in there we can’t take out. “It will help the racing; things that are going to help Goodyear to make a better tire that is more suitable for the car. We still need to get some weight out of the cars in order to do that. I don’t know if that is going to happen for 2013, but I think we have a nice aero (aerodynamically) balanced car. They have incorporated a few things in there to help.” But he also said that repaving presents problems. “All these repaves are not going to help,” he said. “That is going to make some real challenges.” Sunday’s race at Kansas ran without a problem, but dozers were ripping up the asphalt moments after the checkered flag fell.

Those caps celebrating 200 Sprint Cup victories for Hendrick Motorsports are getting some miles on them. Team officials have been carrying them to race tracks since last October at Kansas Speedway when Jimmie Johnson scored the team’s 199th victory. Now, 14 races later, the four-driver Hendrick contingent is headed to Richmond International Raceway with the caps in tow. The current victory drought is the longest for Hendrick since the end of 2002 and the beginning of 2003, when it went 15 races without a win. That streak also began after a win at Kansas, one by Gordon. “I think if you look at Martinsville, it was so meant to be there,” Gordon said, referring to the fact that he was just seconds away from winning when a caution flag sent the race into extended laps and Gordon and Jimmie Johnson were wrecked. “And it just didn’t happen. We’re going to get it. It’s just very competitive right now.”

Buescher victor in truck race James Buescher, the surprise winner of the season-opening Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway, got his first victory in his regular series when he won the SFP 250 Camping World Truck Series race at Kansas Speedway. It came in his 76th career start and was the second straight win for his Turner Motorsports team, which won the week before at Rockingham Speedway with Kasey Kahne driving one of the team’s trucks. Buescher is now second in the truck standings, four points behind Timothy Peters, who finished second at Kansas.

Goaltender Gregg Gruehl stopped all 33 shots he faced and Brooks Behling netted two third period goals to spark the Bulls past the Topeka RoadRunners 3-0 at the Budweiser Bull Pen in the Amarillo Civic Center. The Bulls can wrap up the series with a victory in Topeka on Thursday night at the Kansas Expo Center Landon Arena. This game was in sharp contrast Friday night, where the two teams combined for 14 goals, including seven alone in the second period. It was a defensive minded contest between the two teams that has become the norm through the two years of the rivalry. It was a scoreless first 28 minutes of hockey before the Bulls grabbed the lead. Brandon Lubin started the play with a rush deep inside Topeka territory. Lubin’s slap shot was stopped by goaltender Peter Traber, and Karl Beckman was there to pounce on the

rebound and stick it into the back of the net. The Bulls turned up the intensity and emotion in the final 20 minutes and were rewarded for their hard work when Brooks Behling scored shorthanded from John Rey and Mike Erickson at 9:52. Just over two minutes later, Behling went at it again when he scored on a breakaway with a great move around the Topeka defensemen. Gruehl continued to stand tall in net with some big saves, including one from Ben Bahe who scored three times the previous night. The Amarillo Bulls outshot the Topeka RoadRunners 4233. Each team had five power plays in the contest with the Bulls netting the lone marker. Springﬁeld 1, St. Louis 0 (Series tied, 1-1) — Gabe Antoni made 34 saves for his second shutout of the playoffs, and Garrett Williams scored the only goal on assists from Cody Dixon and Mike Williams in the 2nd period as the Jr. Blues

knotted up their series with the St. Louis Bandits. The win happened 24 hours after the Blues were beaten in Game 1 by the Bandits, 7-1. Perhaps the biggest difference was Springfield’s discipline as they 10 minutes in penalties Saturday. Port Huron 5, Kalamazoo 2 (Port Huron leads series, 2-0) — The Fighting Falcons find themselves one win away from the Robertson Cup Tournament thanks to a dominating 5-2 win over the Jr. K-Wings. Port Huron took a 2-0 lead in the 1st period with goals from Alex Archibald and Brett D’Andrea. The lead increased to 4-0 in the 2nd period with goals from Ryan Teal and Mike Moroso. Moroso added another in the 3rd period in between goals from Andrew Graves and Brett Beauvais. Austin 4, Bismarck 3 (OT) (Series tied, 1-1) — The Bruins only led once in the game, but it was the overtime-winning goal from Joe Siers that

gave them that only lead and win to tie their Central Finals series with Bismarck as the series heads back to Austin for Games 3 & 4. Brandon Wahlin was a oneman wrecking crew for the Bruins as he scored all three goals in regulation for Austin. Shane Omdahl scored twice and Buster Hebda added the other goals for Bismarck. Fairbanks 2, Wenatchee 1 (OT) (Fairbanks leads series, 2-0) — The defending Robertson Cup champs are just one game away from being able to defend their title at the tournament thanks to a 2-1 overtime win in Fairbanks on Saturday. Max Birkinbine had the overtime-winning goal and an assist in the game and Pavlo Padakin had the other marker for Fairbanks. Jerad Tafoya scored the lone goal for Wenatchee, who was outshot 36-19. Alex Fons made 18 saves in the win, while Greg Lewis made 34 saves in the loss.

Blizzard To Relocate To Brookings, South Dakota For 12-13 Contributed Article NAHL Press Release

FRISCO, Texas — The North American Hockey League (NAHL) has announced that its Board of Governors has approved the relocation of the Alexandria Blizzard from Alexandria, Minn. to Brookings, S.D. Once the move to Brookings is complete, the team shall be renamed the Brookings Blizzard and compete in the NAHL’s Central Division during the upcoming 2012-13 season. The NAHL is the oldest and largest junior hockey league in the United States, with 28 teams representing 14 states. The Brookings Blizzard will play their home games out of the Larson Ice Center, which is a two-rink facility that is owned and operated by the City of Brookings. The facility was newly constructed and finished in the Spring of 2002, which include several renovations, some completed as recently as the Fall of 2009. The Larson Ice Center has a seating capacity of approximately 2,000 in the main rink and 600 in the second rink. The facility is also fully outfitted with large heated viewing areas, upper and lower level lobbies and an upper level concession area as well. “Chris and Mitri Canavati have been fantastic and committed owners in our league for over seven years in the Alexandria market and the relocation of the Blizzard NAHL franchise to Brook-

ings allows them the best opportunity for success with the NAHL financial model,” said NAHL Commissioner Mark Frankenfeld. “The Brookings, South Dakota market fits nicely into our Central Division footprint and is an exciting addition to our league, given our already-strong presence in the Dakota’s and the community’s passion and support for hockey.” In addition to the NAHL team moving to Brookings, Chris Canavati also announced that he would be keeping a team in Alexandria, Minn., to play as the Alexandria Blizzard in the North American 3 Hockey League (3HL), an 18-team, USA Hockey Tier III-sanctioned junior league that is run by the NAHL. “It was a hard decision to move the NAHL team, but it came to the point where we felt it would be better suited in a different market,” Canavati said. “But, just like Brookings may be a better fit for the NAHL team, the Alexandria area better supports a team in the 3HL than it does in the NAHL. The 3HL’s West Division has a more conducive footprint with

four other teams in the state of Minnesota and one in Northern Iowa.” The Brookings Blizzard will retain the services of current Alexandria head coach Doc DelCastillo, who called it the next step for this organization after spending the last three years in Alexandria. “It’s an entertaining brand of hockey. We’ll get up and down the ice and we’ll play physical. This is going to be a tough ticket to get,” said DelCastillo. “Once we start playing, it’s going to be tough to get in here and I would tell [the fans] to get season tickets to make sure they have a seat. We’re providing more young men an opportunity to play at a higher level and that really excites us.” “We are hopeful that both the Brookings and Alexandria communities will be behind us,” Canavati said. “It’s still going to be good hockey at both levels. The fans in Brookings are going to see a team that has set franchise records for wins each of the last three seasons and we’re going to put on a great show for the fans, who we know will love the NAHL brand of hockey. “However, our standards and expectations in Alexandria don’t change just because we’re going to Tier III, and we don’t want the fans to expect a different experience because it still will be a lot of fun and great hockey to watch.” A presentation to and final approval by the USA Hockey junior council is expected no later than June 9.

Choosing Between Luck, Griffin Was Tough Call By Michael Marot Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Robert Griffin III and Andrew Luck spent months vying to be No. 1. The struggle played out on college football fields in California and Texas last fall, at offseason awards presentations in Florida and inside a theater room in New York City. This year's great draft debate took the top two quarterbacks to Indianapolis for the annual scouting combine and back to their college campuses for personal workouts and interviews. Now, barring some unforeseen circumstance before Thursday night's NFL draft, commissioner Roger Goodell will declare Luck the winner when the Colts make him the first overall pick. The truth is, there may not be a loser in this competition. “Both guys have tremendous intangibles and their skill sets are outstanding,'' Colts general manager Ryan Grigson said earlier this week. “I don't see how either of them are not successful in this league.'' In the NFL world, there's no such thing as a sure bet. Just ask JaMarcus Russell or Ryan Leaf. Most analysts believe, however, Luck and Griffin will be smart picks if they can stay healthy and their teams remain patient with their development. So why are the Colts taking Luck? History. Luck's resume looks like a virtual carbon-copy of his predecessor in Indy, Peyton

Manning. He's smart, loves the game and leaves nothing to chance. Even their paths to the draft are similar. Like Manning, Luck grew up with an NFL-playing quarterback father. Like Manning, Luck left his home state to play college football. Like Manning, Luck ignored the temptation to leave school after three years even though both would have been the No. 1 pick. Like Manning, Luck finished second in the Heisman Trophy race during his final college season, and the Colts are hoping that, like Manning, Luck will make the Colts a regular Super Bowl contender. So after 14 mostly successful seasons under Manning, the Colts have decided to go with the next best thing — Luck. In fact, Colts owner Jim Irsay said he used a similar evaluation model to the one then GM Bill Polian used back in 1998 when the Colts had to decide between Manning and Leaf. Polian and the offensive coaches studied every throw those two made in college. Then, after interviewing both at the combine, Polian and the coaches each came up with an assessment. The GM then asked the late Bill Walsh to weigh in. Yet it wasn't until the personal workouts that Polian said he was convinced Manning was the right guy — the same stage at which the Colts made up their minds about Luck. At that point, the Colts contingent already was impressed by Luck's decision to throw into the wind at Stanford, giving scouts insight not only

into Luck's ability but also his mental makeup. The message was that Luck, who is on schedule to earn an architectural degree, wouldn't let outside conditions or blitzing defenses dictate what he does. “You have to go into it with amnesia when you really start getting into it because you want an open mind and not be influenced by outside sources and those sorts of things,'' Irsay said. Luck also comes from a prostyle offense, the kind he is likely to run in Indianapolis, and his successes are hard to match. In three seasons under Luck, the Cardinal went from a sub.500 team to national championship contender. He broke John Elway's school record for most TD passes in a career and last season completed 70 percent of his passes while throwing only nine interceptions. Still, Luck felt he had something to prove at his pro day. “Just that I can make NFL throws,'' he said then. “Whether it's timing, the

Lakers Outlast Thunder In Double OT; World Peace Ejected Contributed Article Associated Press

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Metta World Peace was subdued and contrite in the Los Angeles Lakers' locker room, apologizing to Oklahoma City's James Harden for throwing the elbow that sent them both to the locker room in the second quarter. They both missed a beauty of a game that could echo into the postseason for two division leaders. Kobe Bryant scored six of his 26 points in the second overtime alongside an unorthodox Lakers lineup, and Los Angeles rallied from an 18-point deficit in the second half for a 114-106 victory over the Thunder on Sunday. Pau Gasol had 20 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists for the Lakers, who made an impressive comeback in their regularseason home finale against off-target Thunder stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, who combined to miss 42 of their 56 shots. Los Angeles' rally stunned the Thunder and set an early tone for their possible second-round playoff matchup. ''It's not so much that we beat Oklahoma, but how we did it,'' said Bryant, who shook off his own woeful shooting game with two key 3-pointers late in regulation. ''In the playoffs, particularly if you don't have home-court advantage, you're going to have games like this. We have to have the poise and the confidence to just keep chipping away.” Yet everything after halftime was colored by the drama and violence that occurred 1:37 before the break. World Peace had just dunked over Durant and Serge Ibaka on a fast break and was headed back upcourt when he ran

into Harden. While pounding his chest with his right arm, World Peace raised his left elbow over Harden's shoulder and cleanly hit Harden in the back of the skull. Harden dropped to the court and stayed down for about a minute before heading to the locker room. Ibaka and other Thunder players challenged World Peace, but were kept apart, and World Peace was ejected after officials reviewed the tape. “I got real emotional and excited, and it was unfortunate that James had to get hit with the unintentional elbow,” said World Peace, who had scored 12 points and played solid defense on Durant. ''I hope he's OK. Oklahoma, they're playing for a championship this year. I apologize to the Thunder and James Harden. It was just unfortunate.'' The Thunder didn't immediately announce whether Harden, who scored 14 points, had a concussion. Bryant and other Lakers acknowledged World Peace is likely to face a multigame suspension with just one game left in their

regular season. ''I'm just happy my teammate is all right,'' said Durant, who scored 35 points on 11-for-34 shooting. ''It was a bad play. Hopefully Ron didn't do it intentionally or have any malicious intentions on that. We've got to move past that.'' Ibaka had 18 points and 14 rebounds for the Thunder, who led by 11 points with 4 minutes left in regulation. Westbrook had 14 points on 3-for-22 shooting and 10 assists as Oklahoma City fell 1 1/2 games behind San Antonio atop the Western Conference with just its third loss in nine games. Despite the loss, Durant finally passed Bryant in the race for both superstars' third NBA scoring title. Durant, the two-time defending scoring champion, is averaging 27.906 points with two to play, while Bryant — the NBA's top scorer for nearly the entire regular season — slipped back into second at 27.862 points per game with just one game left. The Lakers rallied with seldom-used Devin Ebanks and Jordan Hill alongside BryContinued on pg 10

skinny post to the right, the quick out or the deep ball. Just tried to cover all the bases.'' Griffin's resume is every bit as impressive. In 2011, the Texas prep star who opted to stay home for college, threw for 4,293 yards, 37 TDs, completed 72.4 percent of his passes and threw just six interceptions — better numbers than Luck. His incredible mobility drew raves, too. And after throwing for 479 yards and four TDs in a win that knocked Oklahoma out of the national title chase, Griffin burst onto the national scene as a Heisman contender. Eventually, he beat Luck in that one. But NFL scouts knew Griffin was a star much earlier. “RG3 was an unknown quantity to those outside the professional scouting community. So his `ride; was purely a result of those who didn't know him,'' Polian said. “He hasn't risen, he was there all the time. Anybody who tells you he wasn't, wasn't doing their homework.''

Like Luck, Griffin has demonstrated there's more to life than football. At the 2011 NCAA convention, NCAA president Mark Emmert singled out Griffin as an example of a model student-athlete. Griffin earned his political science degree in three years, graduating in 2010. He was regular on Baylor's dean's list and still has aspirations of attending law school. He was fast enough to qualify for the 2008 Olympics trials semifinals in the 400-meter hurdles and passionate enough about volunteering to find time to help five charities. So when Griffin decided to leave school early, it was because he felt it was time _ not because of the money. “Sometimes you just have that feeling, and I had it after the bowl game,'' Griffin said when he declared for the draft after resuscitating Baylor's football program. “Like I said, it's been real exciting here at Baylor, it's been a lot of fun. And in life, that's what you try to do, you try to be happy, you try to have a lot of fun.'' The Redskins think Griffin is a perfect fit in Washington, right down to that political science degree. GM Bruce Allen and coach Mike Shanahan were so convinced about Griffin's ability that they paid a hefty price to get a shot at him. They traded this year's first and secondround picks and first-rounders in each of the next two years to St. Louis to move up four spots to get either Luck or Griffin. Shanahan understands what that kind of move that can do for a franchise. He won two

Super Bowls with Elway in Denver, but hasn't been back to the NFL's big game since Elway retired after the 1998 season. Griffin could be just the guy to change that. “You get someone you feel like can be a franchise quarterback for years to come, that doesn't happen very often,'' Shanahan said at the recent league meetings. “To have that guy — they're hard to find.'' The next debate will be about who is more ready to win? Luck has drawn the obvious comparisons to Elway and has been called the most NFL-ready quarterback since Manning entered the league in 1998. Oliver Luck, Andrew's dad, insists the extra year has made his son a better, more mature quarterback. “I think he grew in his role as a QB, I think he played in a little bit of fish bowl because of the expectations, which I think is great training for the NFL,'' he said. However, Polian thinks Griffin will win the next round. “I believe without question, both will be successful,'' Polian said. “I believe Andrew may struggle early simply because of the surrounding cast playing with him. It was nowhere near where Peyton's was and he went 3-13. I think Andrew will struggle more because of the receivers around him. Only Reggie (Wayne) and Austin (Collie) are back. RGIII is going to be adapting to a new offense. In spite of that, he may have the easier road in his rookie year. Having said that, they'll both struggle, but that doesn't change my opinion. I think both will be successful.''

Humber Tosses 21st Perfect Games In MLB History Contributed Article Associated Press

SEATTLE (AP) — Phil Humber, who underwent Tommy John surgery seven years ago, threw the first perfect game in the majors in almost two years, leading the Chicago White Sox to a 4-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Saturday. It was baseball's 21st perfect game and first since Philadelphia's Roy Halladay threw one against the Florida Marlins on May 29, 2010. It was the third in White Sox's history, joining Mark Buehrle against Tampa Bay on July 23, 2009, and Charles Robertson against Detroit on April 30, 1922. “This is awesome,'' Humber said. “I'm so thankful.'' With the White Sox lined up on the top step of the dugout, Humber fell behind 3-0 to Michael Saunders leading off the ninth. But he rebounded to strike him out. John Jaso then flied out before Brendan Ryan, another pinch-hitter, struck out to end the game. Ryan took a checked swing and missed at a full-count pitch, but the ball got away from catcher A.J. Pierzynski. Ryan lingered outside the batter's box for a minute, unsure of umpire Brian Runge's call, and Pierzynski fired to first to complete the play. Humber, who was involved in a trade for Johan Santana in 2008, fell to his knees went it was over, and his teammates rushed toward the mound to congratulate him. “I don't know that I dominated them,'' Humber said. “Obviously the ball was hit at people. I'm thankful for that. It was a well-pitched game. Definitely something I'll never forget.'' The right-hander struck out

nine and threw just 96 pitches in his first career complete game. He went to a three-ball count only three times. It was quite a contrast to his first start of the season, when he went 5 1-3 innings and threw 115 pitches in a nodecision against Baltimore on Monday. Humber was traded from the New York Mets to the Minnesota Twins in the deal for Santana, he bounced around for a couple of season and was acquired by the White Sox

swinging to start the eighth. Kyle Seager lofted a fly to left that looked momentarily like it had a chance to land, but was caught by Dayan Viciedo. Jesus Montero followed with an easy ground ball to second base, sending the perfect game to the ninth. Paul Konerko hit his second home run of the season and No. 398 for his career in the second. He also had a runscoring single in the third. Mariners starter Blake Beavan (1-2) allowed three runs and

on waivers from Oakland in January 2011. He was 9-9 with a 3.75 ERA in 163 innings last season, his first full season in the majors as a starter. It was the majors' first no-hitter of the season. There were three last year: Francisco Liriano of Minnesota, Justin Verlander of Detroit, and Ervin Santana of the Los Angeles Angels. It was the third no-hitter thrown against Seattle. Mark Langston and Mike Witt of the Angels combined on one on April 11, 1990, and Dwight Gooden of the Yankees threw one on May 14, 1996. Humber struck out the side in the second while cruising through the first four innings in just 45 pitches. Chone Figgins' fly ball to left in the fourth was the first ball to reach the outfield. Dustin Ackley followed with a hard liner to right that Alex Rios reached up and stabbed. The White Sox moved farther and farther away from Humber as he approached history, leaving him alone as he sat on the bench in the Safeco Field visitors' dugout. Justin Smoak struck out

seven hits in six innings. Humber was drafted No. 3 overall by the New York Mets out of Rice in 2004. He reached the majors in 2006 but his career was sidetracked by the elbow injury. He becomes the latest onetime Mets pitcher who went on to throw a no-hitter elsewhere, a group that includes Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver, Gooden and David Cone. New York has never had a no-hitter in its 51-year history. The only other team without one is San Diego, which began play in 1969. Notes: Coming into Saturday, the Mariners were hitting .103 over the last three games with runners in scoring position, with no extra-base hits and eight strikeouts while grounding into three double plays. . Mariners RHP Felix Hernandez has 25 career starts with seven or more shutouts innings. . Seattle reliever Hisashi Iwakuma made his major league debut Friday night, becoming the last player on an Opening Day roster who was not hurt or optioned to the minor leagues to do so. . Rios came into Saturday with an eight-game hitting streak.

Giroux, Flyers Dump Crosby, Penguins To Advance To Second Round Contributed Article Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Claude Giroux had his coach out call him the best player in the world. Giroux needed one shift to prove that claim is more than ost hometown hype. nce e He flattened Sidney Crosby only 5 seconds into the game, buried his sixth goal of the , series past Marc-Andre Fleury ade 27 seconds later, and led a ure Philadelphia Flyers charge into the second round. as Giroux wrapped up a domia nant series with a goal and se two assists, Ilya Bryzgalov had I his first outstanding effort in he net and the Flyers beat the 108-point Pittsburgh Penguins if- 5-1 on Sunday to win their . Eastern Conference opening, round series in six games. “G is a very special player,” rew Bryzgalov said. “There's not very many players like that in g the world.” as Giroux strapped the Flyers to his 24-year-old back and gave . the Flyers an opening shift to le remember. In a series where - no lead was safe, the Flyers gie scored the first three goals and e) made it stand behind stout defense and stellar play out of se. Bryzgalov. e e y'll sn't k By John Marshall

Bryzgalov allowed 20 goals in the first five games. He settled down in Game 6 and gave up only Evgeni Malkin's goal in the second period. The Flyers had stormed out to a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series before Pittsburgh won two straight. A day before Game 6, Flyers forward Scott Hartnell called out his defense and Bryzgalov and said it was their turn to win a game. The Flyers delivered with 40 blocked shots. “Guys were sacrificing their bodies to block shots and were paying the price taking hits to make plays,” Hartnell said. “It was awesome to see.” Bryzgalov was at last the shutdown goalie the Flyers expected when they gave him $51 million to steady one of Philadelphia's weak links. He outplayed Fleury and helped the Flyers advance to the conference semifinals for the third straight season. Fleury had seemingly pulled it together after some awful efforts in Games 2 and 3. He steadied the Penguins in a Game 5 victory and had the Penguins feeling confident about sending the series back to Pittsburgh for Game 7. So much for that. ''We needed to play perfect

hockey to stay in this series, to win this series, and we didn't get the kind of start we needed today,'' Crosby said. ''We felt like we could get it back to Pittsburgh, and now we have some time to think about why we didn't.'' Crosby had no time to think on the first shift. Moments after Giroux leveled him, the Flyers winger took the loose puck and fired from the circle for a 1-0 lead. He gestured toward the crowd and slammed the glass in celebration, firing up 20,000 fans that hadn't had much to cheer

about the last two games. ''I wasn't planning to hit Crosby,'' Giroux said. ''Just sometimes when you have a chance to hit another player, you've got to go out there and do it.'' It's clear Giroux had something big in mind. ''When the best player in the world comes up to you and says, 'I don't know who you're starting tonight, but I want that first shift,' that tells you everything you need to know about Claude Giroux,'' Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said.

It was Philadelphia's first even-strength goal since Giroux scored one early in the third period of Game 3. The team that scored first had lost the first five games of the series. For once, the Flyers piled on. The Flyers made it 2-0 on the second bad goal allowed by Fleury. He had seemingly stopped the puck and had it covered it up, but Hartnell poked it free and jammed it into the net for Philadelphia's 12th power-play goal of the series. From there, Flyers fans started their derisive chants of ''Fleurrrrrry! Fleur-rrrrry!'' He was rattled more by the Flyers in the second period than the crowd noise. Nothing shook Bryzgalov en route to 30 saves. ''He was our best player on the ice tonight,'' Giroux said. Erik Gustafsson was all alone when he fired an uncontested shot from just above the circle for a 3-0 lead. Gustafsson scored one goal all season. The Flyers put his face on the big screen as he sat on the bench, and the crowd erupted and gave him a standing ovation. Gustafsson cracked a small smile when he looked up at the video board

and realized those screaming fans were all for him. The 3-0 lead looked shaky for a moment when Malkin scored his third of the series to make it 3-1. The Penguins had 19 goals over Games 2-4 and certainly had the firepower to rally one more time. The Flyers silenced the Penguins 34 seconds later when Danny Briere's shot trickled between Fleury's sprawled legs for his fifth goal of the series and a 4-1 lead. Brayden Schenn added an empty-netter in the final seconds. The Penguins were the oddson favorite to win the Stanley Cup and could find the early elimination leads to sweeping changes on the roster. “Being down 3-0, we were confident, and we remained confident, but we just ran out,” Penguins forward Jordan Staal said. Flyers fans chanted “We don't like you!” in the waning moments, a poke at Crosby's comments that he didn't like anyone on the Flyers. The testy series concluded with a peaceful handshake line — and the Flyers having several days of rest to find out their next opponent before the next round begins.

Former Sabre Torres Suspended For 25 Games For Hit On Hawks’ Hossa

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — A h. blindside hit, a history of vioeft lence and a league-wide crackke down on rough play earned Phoenix Coyotes forward Raffi do. Torres one of the longest susth pensions in NHL history. nd Torres was suspended 25 amegames by the league Saturday and will miss the rest of d the playoffs for a late hit that d resulted in Chicago’s Marian e Hossa being taken off the ice on a stretcher. After one of the least-penalized van regular seasons in the NHL’s nd modern era, Torres is the ninth player to be suspended during 10 what’s been an out-for-blood playoffs so far. ``I think it’s a precedent,” Chicago center Brendan Morrison said Saturday, a few hours before Phoenix tried to clinch He its first-round series over the Blackhawks. ``We’ve been ked

complete the suspension — the ban carries over into the next regular season. Torres would not be able to play in any preseason games in that case. As a repeat offender, Torres would forfeit $21,341 in salary for every regular-season game he sits out. ``The league has made its decision and there is nothing we can do about it now,” Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. ``We deal with it as a club and Raffi has to deal with it, but our focus is solely on what we had to do tonight. It’s an unfortunate incident, but the league has had its say and we move on.” Torres wasn’t penalized when he left his feet to hit an unsuspecting Hossa during Game 3 Tuesday in Chicago, smashing the Blackhawks forward to the ice. Hossa lay on the ice for several minutes before being taken away on a stretcher and hasn’t appeared again in the series. Shanahan said in a statement

that Torres’ hit violated three rules: interference, charging and illegal check to the head. In determining the length of the suspension, Shanahan noted that Torres caused severe injury and his discipline history consists mainly of acts similar to the hit on Hossa, including two this season. ``Despite knowing that Hossa no longer has the puck, Torres decides to finish his check past the amount of time when Hossa is eligible to be bodychecked,” Shanahan said. ``While we acknowledge the circumstances of certain hits may cause a player’s skates to come off the ice,” he added, ``on this hit, Torres launches himself into the air before making contact. ... The position of Hossa’s head does not change just prior to or simultaneous with this hit. The onus, therefore, is on Torres not to make it the principal point of contact. By leaping, Torres makes Hossa’s head the principal point of contact.”

Bonnies Sweep G.W., Vault Back Into Postseason Race Contributed Article

ARLINGTON, Va. — The St. Bonaventure baseball team (16-15, 5-7 Atlantic 10 Conference) swept a doubleheader from George Washington (15-25, 3-9 A-10) Saturday afternoon by margins of 2-1 and 9-5 to complete a three-game series sweep of the Colonials and push itself right back into the thick of the A-10 postseason race.

lective 5.41 entering the series to 5.05 following the set. In game one, starter Jordan Crane (3-1) was given an early 2-0 lead and made it stand up as the senior pitched brilliantly, allowing just one run and scattering five hits over his eight innings — marking the fewest hits allowed in his career when throwing at least eight innings. Crane turned the ball over to redshirt senior Cael Johnson in the 9th, and GW looked poised to at least tie the game with runners on the corners and just one out. However, the Frewsburg, N.Y. native induced a game-ending double play as the Bonnies earned their first A-10 series win of the campaign. The save was also the first of Johnson's career. After closing game one, Johnson started game two for Bonaventure, but allowed four runs through just 2.2 innings before leaving with the game tied, 4-4. His younger brother, Asa Johnson, entered in relief and kept SBU in contention for the sweep with 6.1 innings of near-flawless work.

Johnson earned his third win of the season (3-2) by limiting the Colonials to just four hits and one run over his relief effort in which he struck out one. With his third victory of the season, Johnson joins Crane, redshirt junior Eddie Gray and junior Jason Radwan for the team lead in wins. In game two, the bottom half of the lineup got the job done for the Bonnies as the No. 5-7 and No. 9 hitters — senior Ryan Skellie, junior Michael Meredith, junior Eric Jutca and sophomore Justin Brozick, respectively — each had two hits, accounting for eight of Bona's 11 hits. With Bona trailing, 2-0, entering the 3rd inning, it put four runs on the board compliments of just two hits and a key Colonial error to take a 4-2 lead before GW responded with a pair to even the game at 4-4. The Bonnies reclaimed the lead with a run in the 6th inning as Jutca led off the frame with a double to left before eventually scoring on an error by the GW center fielder. However, the Colonials manufactured a run in

the bottom of the frame on a safety squeeze to tie the game back up, 5-5. Following Urban's clutch double in the top of the 9th, Jutca added another run with a bunt single to plate Urban and create the final 9-5 score. In the opening contest, the Bonnies got on the board first as Brennen led off the contest with a double to left-center and eventually scored on a single to left by Urban. The Brown and White tacked on another run in the 3rd inning, and once again it was Urban coming through as he drove a first-pitch delivery to center field to plate Radwan, who had reached on a fielder's choice. GW's lone run of the contest came in the bottom of the 5th on a sacrifice fly to left following a one-out triple by Matthew Murakami. St. Bonaventure is scheduled to return to the field on Tuesday in a doubleheader at Bucknell, weather permitting. The Bonnies then host Saint Joseph's in another crucial A-10 three-game series beginning Friday, April 27, at 3 p.m.

Drabin Moves To Fifth On Career Goals List In Loss To Richmond

to put SBU in the scoring column. Drabin, who finished with a team-best five points on two goals and a trio of

assists, passed Kelly Chevez to move into fifth place on the school's career goals list (122).

Cizenski, Lauren Michaels and Erin Thomas each scored twice in the Bonnies fourth straight setback. The Spiders closed the opening half with seven of the game's nine goals, with the only Bona markers coming from Thomas. After back-toback goals from UR's Bailey Zerr, SBU answered with three straight when Drabin, Lauren Michaels and Elspeth McGarry went to goal in succession. Richmond responded with three goals of its own to end the threat. The Bonnies conclude the 2012 campaign on Sunday with a matchup against George Washington. SBU will honor its senior following the contest.

Lefort’s Personal Record Lands Third Place Finish At Cortland 1,500-meter run (4:56.05). His point total is the 10th best in NCAA Division III this spring, not counting other meets held around the country this weekend. In addition, freshman Doug Imperi was seventh in the decathlon with a personal-best 4,366 points. In the pole vault, senior Cody Dahleiden finished third with a personal-best clearance of 4.77 meters (15' 7 3/4"). Senior teammate Broncho Rollins was fourth with 4.67 meters (15' 3 3/4"). In other field events, senior Mike Taylor was fourth in the javelin with a throw of 45.57 meters (149' 6"). In running events, senior Webster Thomas finished first in the 100 meters (22.77 seconds); sophomore Ste-

ven Whittemore finished second and sophomore Cal Hayward (Victor) seventh in the 3,000-meter steeplechase with times of 10:04.42 and 10:39.30, respectively; and Zakk Hess had a personal-best 1:58.31 in the 800 meters. For the women, sophomores Loren Metzger and Jess Strozyk, and freshmen Leslie Beaton and Meghan Devine outperformed their previous marks in their events to lead the Blue Devils. Metzger improved by nearly seven meters from her previous-best in the hammerthrow. Seeded 20th at the start of the meet, she finished seventh Saturday with a mark of 41.21 meters (135' 2"). Strozyk recorded a personal-best long jump of 4.96 meters (16' 3 1/4") to finish fifth in the long jump after entering the meet

as the No. 11 seed. Devine finished third in the javelin with a personal-best 26.77 meters (87' 10"). Beaton, meanwhile, recorded times of 13.35 seconds in the 100 meters, 28.32 seconds in the 200 meters, and 1:03.07 in the 400 meters. All are new PRs. In other events: Kathleen Goodberlet, another sophomore, was fourth in the hammerthrow with a toss of 44.25 meters (145' 2"). Yet another sophomore, Becca List, was seventh in the 5,000 meters with a time of 19:30.70. The school co-recordholder in the pole vault, sophomore Kelci Yousett, cleared 3.12 meters (10' 2 3/4") to finish seventh, while sophomore Erin Parker finished seventh in the heptathlon with 3,787 points.

NFL Teams Fears Picking “Busts” In Drafts

Scouts and front-office members have spent months pouring over statistics, assessing 40-yard-dash times and vertical leaps, reviewing interviews and Wonderlic tests and doing background checks on these potential future employees. The goal is to get it right and pick a quality player of high character who can help you win. Get it wrong, and the consequences can be catastrophic In 2009, the Bills selected Aaron Maybin with their first round pick.

nobody was open. After sitting most of his rookie season, Smith was given Cincinnati's starting job in 2000 with two rookie receivers — Warrick and Ron Dugans. Another bad idea. Head coach Bruce Coslet quit three games into the season. After only 10 games, the franchise gave up on Smith as a starter. “I didn't know what was going on,'' Smith said. “They made me the third pick of the draft. They gave me a lot of money. And they weren't going to give me a shot the following year. I couldn't understand it, but I dealt with it.'' More than a few drafts have rendered the Bills busted and disgusted. They can blame their 12-year playoff drought — the league's current longest — in part to overreaching in the draft. Their first-round failures are numerous and notable. In 2002, they took Williams, an immense offensive tackle from Texas fourth overall. He lasted only three seasons before being cut. Two years later, they traded back into the first round to select quarterback J.P. Losman, who had an up-and-down five-year stint and failed to become the team's franchise player. Then, in 2009, Buffalo picked Penn State defensive end Aaron Maybin 11th overall. He didn't register a sack or break into the starting lineup in two seasons before being unceremoniously cut during training camp last summer.

General manager Buddy Nix said the only way to guard against picking a bust is preparation. With the clock ticking, nerves fray and panic can ensue. “We've made this mistake before and I'm talking about me,'' Nix said, “is not being prepared if the guy you want at that spot all of a sudden is gone, and you've got five minutes to make the next pick. You better have your plan of where you're going if he's not there. I've had it happen more than once, and the mistakes we made was not being prepared to go to the next guy.'' Heckert can't afford any errors. He needs to find playmakers for an offense that scored just 218 points last season. He can't overreach. He can't be fooled. He's can't blow it. Not this year, not with the Browns still a mess and Cleveland fans demanding a quick turnaround. It's win — or bust. “There's a lot of pressure from media, fans, people in your building, scouts and it's my job to say, `Wait a minute. It's not the right thing to do,''' he said. “That is the hardest thing to convey to the fans. It's not like we don't want those guys, we want them just as bad as they do, but we don't want to make a mistake doing it. There is way more mistakes made than great players picked. “We just try to do the right thing.''

Potential Picks At No. 10 For Buffalo for the last two years. But, the Vikings have severe problems in their secondary and happen to face both Aaron Rodgers and Matt Stafford twice a year. So, I think they go with Morris Claiborne, a cornerback from LSU, or trade down. What it means for Buffalo — The Bills would absolutely love to get Kalil, but trading up seems completely out of the question. If Minnesota doesn’t take him, the Bills might be tempted to move up if Kalil keeps falling but I’d be shocked if he fell all the way to No. 10. No. 4 Cleveland — Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama. Again, both Kiper and King see the Heisman finalist heading to the Browns. Tough to argue this one, but the Browns are really bad just about everywhere on offense. They could go with quarterback Ryan Tannehill or receiver Justin Blackmon. We know they won’t go with Kalil, though, and likely won’t go defense, although they could go with Claiborne as well. Regardless, I think they go with Richardson. What it means for Buffalo — Best case scenario so Bills fans won’t have a heart attack fearing the pick of another running back. No. 5 Tampa Bay — Morris Clai-

borne, CB, LSU Perhaps you may be sensing a trend here, but Kiper and King agreed on this one, too. I see Claiborne coming off the board earlier than this so this pick is impossible to forecast. Tampa would love to go with Claiborne or Richardson, but if both are gone, they might be tempted to trade down. And some team will certainly be willing to trade up to get their hands on either Kalil or Tannehill. What it means for Buffalo — Not sure. If Claiborne is the pick (if available) then it’s no loss. Look, the Bills would love to have him, but he’s not dropping that far. No. 6 St. Louis — Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State This one is about as unanimous as it gets. The Rams need a playmaker on the outside and Blackmon appears to have an extremely bright future. What it means for Buffalo — St. Louis could go with Michael Floyd instead,

as the two are considered to be “1A and 1B” at the position. The Bills would be tempted to take either at No. 10 and at least one will likely be there. No. 7 Jacksonville Jaguars — Melvin Ingram, DE, South Carolina The Jags can go anywhere here and while Kiper thinks Ingram, King thinks college teammate Stephon Gilmore, a cornerback. Others say Quinton Coples, a defensive end from North Carolina. Regardless, Jacksonville will go defensive. What it means for Buffalo — The Bills shored up their pass rush with free agents Mario Williams and Mark Anderson. Root for Jacksonville to take an end here. No. 8 Miami — Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M For the record and for what it’s worth, I don’t think Tannehill is a top 10 player. But, the Dolphins need to rejuvenate a disgruntled fan base and need a quarterback worse than any team in the NFL after Indy gets Luck and Washington gets Griffin. What it means for Buffalo — Some Bills fans want Tannehill. But not me. This is a best-case scenario for Buffalo so they’re not tempted to take him. There are way too many talented players in this draft for Buffalo to take a big-risk quarterback. No. 9 Carolina — Fletcher Cox, DT, Mississippi State

This is up in the air just as much as Buffalo, so pay close attention to what happens at 9. Carolina’s most pressing need is a defensive tackle — or an end. I don’t think they’ll go with Cox, but it wouldn’t surprise me. I see Coples or Ingram. What it means for Buffalo — I doubt the Bills will be looking at a defensive lineman at any point in this draft. They simply have too many players on the roster already. No. 10 Buffalo Kiper: Floyd, WR, Notre Dame King: Floyd CBS: Riley Reiff, OT, Iowa Pro Football Weekly: Luke Kuechly, LB, Boston College Star: Floyd Most importantly, Buffalo needs to hit on this pick. Ideally, I think it would be Kalil. If he’s there, there is no chance Buffalo would pass on him. If he’s gone, I think they’ll look anywhere, but trading down might be what they end up doing. Kuechly could instantly start, but I think the Bills really like Kelvin Sheppard at middle linebacker. I also can’t see Buffalo taking Reiff or Cordy Glenn, a tackle from Georgia — or any tackle for that matter — because of the depth at the position and lack of clear-cut top pick. Thus, I see Floyd or Gilmore.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline

Contributed Article

Department of Environmental Conservation

Apr. 20 to Apr. 27

The steelhead run has been winding down, with most of the remaining trout activity on Cattaraugus Creek. The creek is in ideal shape, flowing at about 320 cubic feet per second. Target the mid-to-lower sections of the creek for steelhead that are dropping back toward the lake. All other tributaries are low and clear with a few steelhead hanging around. Smallmouth bass have filled the void left by retreating steelhead. Good numbers of bass have moved into the lower end of the tributaries. Bass catches can be excellent at this time of year. Fly anglers 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 have also started to move into the lower sections of the tributaries, settling into deeper holes. Fishing at night with nightcrawlers, raw shrimp, chicken livers or cut bait on the bottom could have you hooked into a 20-pound catfish! The lower section of Cattaraugus Creek and near the mouth of Eighteenmile Creek are good locations. Shore anglers can also target catfish along the Lake Erie shoreline on calm nights, especially near stream inlets. Lake Erie and Harbors Good yellow perch fishing opportunity remains off Cattaraugus Creek. Better catches have been reported at 55-60 foot depths, but productive

schools have been found as shallow as 40 feet. 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 Crappie fishing picked up last weekend, with a good bite reported near dawn and dusk. Look for crappie schools around weed beds in 6-10 feet of water throughout the south basin and in the sheltered bays of the north basin. Minnows, jig head with a minnow and small tube jigs are good baits for crappie. Yellow perch have been an easier target than crappie. Small minnows work great for perch in both deep and shallow areas.

Upper Niagara River Anglers see decent yellow perch catches at sites near the head of the river such as, Broderick Park, Squaw Island, Ontario Street boat launch and the adjacent walkway running north of the launch. Boat anglers also target perch in the stretch north of the launch. Emerald shiners are top bait or perch. The harbors, marinas and inlets are good spots to target sunfish and largemouth bass. Bluegill and crappie can be taken on emerald shiners and worms. Bass fishing is by catch and release only, artificial lures only. Inland Trout Streams Trout streams have low and clear conditions throughout the region. The overall trout bite continues to be good. Hendricksons and bluewinged olives are the main fly hatches

along with some early caddisflies. Fly anglers see good surface action on the appropriate imitation dry fly. Nymphs such as stoneflies, scuds, pheasant tails and caddisflies are also good bets. Spinning anglers do well with 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!

Early Walleye Season Expected To Be Good Steve Peacock

Star Outdoors Writer

The unusual weather we have had all spring continues but in the other direction. After a fast warm up in March that jump-started all of the plants, early April had many hard freezes that damaged those plants. Now April hits us with a snowstorm. Where I live in the hills, we got 18 inches of snow on Monday. At lower elevations, it was all rain and enough

of it to swell all of the streams to unfishable levels. I would expect them to return to normal more slowly because of the snow on the hills. We really have to wait and see what effect this will have on the fishing this week. Before the storm I was hearing about more steelhead being spotted in the tributaries. My guess is that these fish were on their way back to the lake. I know some guys that went out perch fishing last Saturday. The perch were biting and they caught

a few before the rough lake forced them to come in. I expect the perch fishing to continue to be good when ever the lake is calm enough. Walleye season starts on the first Saturday in May, which is May 5 this year. Traditionally we do better in the smaller lakes right when the season opens. The smaller lakes I’m talking about are Chautauqua Lake and the Kinzua Reservoir. Both of these waters have good walleye populations and offer somewhere to fish when

METTA WORLD “PEACE”? continued from pg 6 ant, Gasol and backup point guard Steve Blake, who hit three key 3-pointers. Ebanks had eight points and two key defensive plays in the final minute, while Hill had 14 points and a career high-tying 15 rebounds. ''Being down double digits against a very good team, we could have folded easily,'' Lak-

ers coach Mike Brown said. ''This might have been our best team win of the year.'' Bryant struggled through the first three quarters of his first home game since April 6 before coming alive down the stretch during Los Angeles' rally. Bryant then hit the tiebreaking fall-away jumper with 52 seconds left in the second

overtime, followed by two free throws as the Lakers hung on. Even with Harden unavailable to provide his usual offensive boost, the Thunder could only blame themselves for a 4-for-19 fourth quarter with four turnovers, followed by a 5-for-17 effort in the two overtime periods. ''I believe in Kevin, I believe

Lake Erie is too rough. This year I expect the walleye fishing on Lake Erie to be good right away when the season opens. I am basing this prediction on how well we did last spring and summer. Last year the bite was a bit slow at the beginning but we saw lots of fish on the fish finder. The fish finder also showed frequent schools of bait. As soon as we stopped seeing all of the bait the walleyes started biting much better. However for the last

in Russell, I believe in what our guys do,'' Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. ''Some nights they're not going to fall for you, but if the execution is good and the shots are good, you have to live with the results.'' World Peace was making major contributions to the Lakers on both ends of the court before his ejection for yet an-

couple of seasons good numbers of walleyes were caught right in the bays near the weed beds. These fish began hitting earlier than the fish in deeper water. The waters just west of the Dunkirk Harbor near Van Buren have long been known for good Walleye fishing at the beginning of the season. Fishing from shore may have to wait until the water clears some but when it does I’m sure there will be something there to catch.

other unpredictable outburst in the erstwhile Ron Artest's long history of misbehavior. World Peace, who changed his name last year, has been mostly well-behaved during his three seasons with the Lakers, even winning an award as the NBA's citizen of the year for his extensive charity work around mental-health issues.

Yet he'll always be most famous for his 86-game suspension for participating in the brawl in the Palace of Auburn Hills stands while playing for Indiana in November 2004. The Lakers pulled within one point on World Peace's dunk, but fell apart after the ejection, managing just 14 points in the next 14 minutes.

TEEING OFF

Anatomy of a good teacher

Fore real?

IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME

Despite the fact that new Masters champion Bubba Watson doesn’t use a teacher, almost all professional tour players do, and so should you. Choosing a teacher deserves some thought because he or she is going to be a valuable member of Team YOU. Here are the characteristics to look for: Good teachers have perspective and empathy. They don’t view students as klutzes because they can’t hit it as well as the teacher. Good teachers remember that in comparison to Fred Couples, Luke Donald, Michelle Wie and Tiger Woods, they can’t play, either. Good teachers stay up with their learners. They know that students often take big leaps once they understand a concept, and good teachers are ready to leap along with their students. The presentation is for the student, not the teacher, and if the student doesn’t need it, the teacher doesn’t say it. In teaching, it’s better to receive than to give, so good teachers don’t overexplain. Good teachers don’t change tasks in midstream. “Continuity to a close” is the catchphrase. One way to foul your brain is with confusion, so the good teacher brings one task to a close before opening another one. And good teachers understand the “window of vulnerability.” After practicing a task, they know you must allow enough time for the brain to encode the information. For about six hours after you learn a motor skill, there is a window during which the new skill can be erased from your memory if you try to learn another similar skill on top of it. This is why students often get confused and discouraged when trying to learn golf. Bad teachers pile on the tasks until the learner breaks down, then they call the student a bad learner. Good teachers know that the problem is not information overload, but task overload — a huge distinction. The learner can absorb a lot of information about the task, but if there isn’t a sufficient incubation time between tasks, you won’t learn much. Good teachers know not only “what” should be fixed in your swing, but “when” to fix it. Maximum learning has a task sequence that must be followed. First you work on task No. 1, then it’s on to task two. A good teacher knows that a good learner is an activist learner, responsible for his or her own learning. Students are not empty vessels to be filled up by an information dispenser. Good teachers are self-erasing; they know the time will come when they go from being a teacher to being an adviser. Learning continues in the absence of a good teacher, and good teachers make sure that students “own” their learning. Now that you know what the characteristics of the good teacher are, all you have to do is find one and form a team.

Bubba Knowing why your ball curves the way it does gives you the power of intervention – if you don’t like it, you can change it. Bubba Watson used his powers of intervention effectively when he hooked his way out of the woods and onto the green to win his first major at the Masters. The spin on the golf ball comes from its rotation around its axis. You can imagine a line though the center of your golf ball at 90 degrees from the ground, and that’s your axis. When you hit the ball with a clubface that is not perfectly square to the path of your club, the axis of your ball tilts either to the left or right as the ball leaves the face. It is this tilt that causes your ball to curve. If your clubface is open to the path, it’s a slice; if it’s closed, you’ll hit a hook. A square clubface at impact causes no axis tilt, so the ball rotates with backspin only, and the shot goes straight with no curve. So if you’re slicing or hooking, you can fix the curve by fixing your clubface. Here are some of the most common causes of hooking and slicing. Since they vary

depending on ABOUT THE WRITER the student, Dr. T.J. I suggest Tomasi is a teaching making an professional appointment in Port St. with a good Lucie, Fla. Visit his teacher who website at can show you tjtomasi.com. the specific adjustments you need to make. Causes of a slice 1. Minimum forearm rotation through impact 2. Spinning your shoulders at the start of the downswing 3. Arms that are slow 4. Hips that are fast 5. An open clubface 6. Ball forward in stance 7. Excessive front foot flare 8. Weak grip Causes of a hook 1. Extra rotation of forearms 2. Excessive shoulder rotation 3. Arms that are fast 4. Hips that are slow 5. A closed clubface 6. Ball back in stance 7. Too little front foot flare 8. Strong grip

An open clubface here will cause the ball to curve to my right. If the face is closed at impact, the ball will curve left.

THE MIND GAME

First things first A recent national TV ad for a drug to treat low testosterone featured a graying male wishing he had more energy for golf, sex, family and friends. In that order. WHAT SCIENCE SAYS

Size matters!

At the peak of his power, Michael Jordan, on his way to a 50-plus night in scoring, hit a 40-foot jump shot and after the swish, shrugged his shoulders to signal, “I can’t believe it myself.” In the postgame interview, he said that the basket looked as big as a bathtub, so he felt he couldn’t miss. When golfers get hot, they often say the same thing about size: “The fairways looked so wide you could land a 747,” or “The cup looked as big a manhole cover.” Could you be a better putter if you saw a bigger hole? Yes, according to Jessica K. Witt, a researcher from Purdue University. “People in our study made more successful putts in a smaller hole when a visual illusion helped them perceive it as larger,” Witt says. “We know that how people perceive the environment affects their ability to act on it, such as scoring a basket or hitting a baseball, and now we know that seeing a target as larger leads to improved performance.” She mounted a projector in the ceiling over an indoor putting green that beamed circles around the regulation 4 1/4-inch cup — one large circle that made the hole look smaller and one small circle that made it look bigger than it was. Golfers made more putts when the hole looked bigger, implying that if a golfer became very good at creating a visual illusion that makes the hole look bigger, he would putt better.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

How to conquer the tyranny of the field Whether you’re an amateur golfer or a pro, one thing that makes tournament golf so hard is what I call the tyranny of the field. In medal play, the low score of all who have entered wins. The challenge occurs in reading the strength of the field and how they will handle the course and its conditions. For example, when the wind blows at 20 mph, it eliminates three-fourths of the field. The best players can read the conditions and re-establish in their own minds what is a good score. In a strong wind, par may be 76, and if you are still unrealistically trying to judge your round against a par of 72, you’ll crash and burn by taking too many chances.

Only in la-la land does a jailer take his prisoner golfing. Of course, only in la-la land would the prisoner be a golf pro in the big house for robbing patrons at a golf course. A Los Angeles County sheriff’s captain is being investigated for allegedly signing out inmate Frank Carrillo and taking him to a golf course last summer. Carrillo is a professional golfer and, according to ABC News, the sheriff needed a lesson. Methinks he got one.

In tennis, your opponent is in front of you and visible, and it is the same in most other ball sports. But in golf you must always be wary of the field — a specter you fear, but can’t see. It’s human nature to assume the players you can’t see are all making birdies and pars, and it’s this misconception that puts pressure on you, forcing you into mistakes. Leader boards help, but most golfers play in tournaments that don’t use them. To avoid the tyranny of the field, check out the course and who you’re playing against, then proceed with this thought in mind: “I’m doing better than I think, and they are doing worse.”

“If you think about it, for a lefty, that shot on No. 10 didn’t sit up too badly for him. It was a hook lie, and on top of that, he’s firing it into the hill, because that green goes from right to left. So whatever type of hook he hits is actually going to be killed into the slope.” — Tiger Woods, on the shot that won the Masters for Bubba Watson

LESSONS FROM THE TOUR

ASK THE PRO

Telltale sound of a good chip shot

Rescue clubs to the rescue

When Lee Trevino first came on tour, he was about the worst sand player around, so he went to see Gary Player. The “Black Knight” taught him so well, Trevino became great from the bunkers. One thing you can learn from the tour players is that they watch each other, and if one of them does something well, the others copy it. Case in point is Tom Watson. Even though Watson is renowned for his short game, he modified his chipping when he heard Bubba Watson hitting chips next to him on the GOLF SPOKEN HERE

In jail

practice range at the Masters. Yes, “heard” — the telltale sound that correctly struck golf shots make enticed him to take a look-see. Here is how Tom Watson described it: “We were 10 feet from each other, and I notice every chip shot he hit was absolutely dead solid perfect. I mean dead solid. In my ear, you can hear it. … I said to myself, my hands aren’t quite far enough ahead when I chip, and I started doing that today and practicing. … I’m starting to hit the ball solid again with the chip just by watching Bubba chip.”

A golf term used to describe a trouble situation where there’s not much chance of you hitting a good shot. An example is when your ball lands in some trees and you have no shot to the green (unless you’re Bubba Watson at the Masters).

Q: I have an older set of clubs my father’s friend gave me that has a 2- and 3-iron, but I hit them really low — too low and short. What should I do with them? — Ben E. A: Here’s a rule of thumb, Ben: If you have a swing speed less than 80 mph with your driver, then you’ll have trouble getting your long irons in the air, plus they all fly about the same distance. If your swing speed’s around 70 mph, you may have trouble with your 5-iron, too. The answer is to replace your long irons with rescue clubs, just like the pros are doing. One study showed that in several recent USGA national championships, most of the competitors had ditched the long irons, substituting rescue clubs and fairway metals. These players have swing speeds high enough to get the ball nicely airborne, but the metals have other advantages: special sole plates that won’t snag on the grass, and a lower center of gravity that hits the ball higher.

Law and order

CBS series takes legal drama to another level By Dee Wright TV Media

hink about how much your life has changed in the past three years. Jobs, families, homes and circumstances all change so quickly, and sometimes it’s hard to keep up. Three years ago, the Florricks were happy. Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies) had stepped away from her dream career as a lawyer to take care of her children. Her husband, Peter (Chris Noth), was a successful state’s attorney who provided very well for Alicia and their children, Zach and Grace. But the white picket fence would soon come crashing down. The series started just as news of Peter’s sex scandal hit the media. His actions led to an investigation, which exposed the corruption in which he’d been involved, and he was sent to prison. Since Alicia had given up her position many years ago, it was difficult for her to find a job. She finally takes a bottom-rung position with Stern, Lockhart & Gardner, where she is quickly resented by junior attorney Cary Agos, who sees her as competition. Alicia faces the decision of whether to stay with Peter and face the gossip and buzz that now surrounds her marriage, or to leave and raise her kids alone. Though she does not divorce Pe-

Julianna Margulies stars in “The Good Wife” ter, they decide to separate, and she finds herself attracted to former classmate and partner at the firm, Will Gardner (Josh Charles). The two have a relationship in Season 3, but she’s unable to allow herself to trust anyone and breaks it off. The season finale of “The Good Wife” airs Sunday, April 29, on CBS. The series premiered back in 2009, and it is said to be inspired by several of the true political sex scandals that had come out in the recent past. Creators Michelle and Robert King -- who, ironically enough, are husband and wife -cite Eliot Spitzer, Bill Clinton and John Edwards as sources for the concept and several plot lines. “There had been this waterfall of these kinds of scandals, from Bill and Hillary [Clinton], to Dick Morris, to Eliot Spitzer, to name just a

few. I think they’re all over our culture,” Michelle said in an interview with BitterLawyer.com. “And there was always this image of the husband up there, apologizing, and the wife standing next to him. I think the show began when we asked, ‘What are they thinking?’ And Robert and I started talking about it from there.” Though the series is not specifically based on any politician in particular, there are many similarities and hints that viewers may pick up if they follow the news. For example, Spitzer is said to have worn socks during his escapades with a prostitute, and in “The Good Wife,” Peter is said to have a foot fetish. It’s not a direct link, but many critics have drawn connections like that. One thing that does separate “The Good Wife” from reality is its ability to tie humor into tense moments. “I think there’s a lot more humor in court than gets portrayed on most shows,” said Robert King. “If you think about the courtroom from a different perspective, you see that a lot of what happens can be quite humorous. I mean, you’ve got this fickle god who can come out and pull the rug out from under two people engaged in a struggle, albeit with words, that’s as brutal as any blood sport. That’s funny -from a certain perspective.”

USA series signs off after five seasons By Kyla Brewer TV Media

one are the days of damsels in distress waiting for dashing heroes to come to their rescue. Today, female characters on television can be just as tough as their male counterparts — maybe tougher. After all, they not only deal with the same wacko criminals and treacherous terrorists, but pregnancy hormones, morning sickness and screaming babies may be the trump card. Mary McCormack stars as one such character in USA Network’s “In Plain Sight,” airing next Friday, May 4. The episode marks the finale of the series, which is calling it quits after five successful seasons. Shot in and around Albuquerque, N.M., “In Plain Sight” follows the life of Mary Shannon, a U.S. Marshal who works for the Witness Protection Program. She and her colleagues struggle to keep their charges safe from those who want them dead. Every day, Shannon deals with career criminals, whistle-blowers or innocent witnesses. But the heart of the series revolves around her dysfunctional personal life, including her relationship with her partner, Marshall Mann (Frederick Weller). Mann is also her best friend, though lately there have been indications the duo might be headed for something more. Paul Ben-Victor stars as Mary’s boss, Stan McQueen, and Lesley Ann Warren tackles the role of Mary’s alcoholic mother, Jinx. Nichole Hiltz portrays Mary’s free-spirited sister, Brandi. Newcomer Rachel Boston recently joined the cast as Det. Abigail Chaffee, Mann’s latest

Mary McCormack and Frederick Weller star in “In Plain Sight” love interest. USA has promised an unforgettable finale for loyal fans of the series. There have been a lot of changes on the set in the past couple of seasons. Writers had to incorporate McCormack’s real-life pregnancy into the show, throwing the no-nonsense character a real curveball. McCormack’s character is far from maternal, and she’s suddenly got a baby to consider. Despite her decision to give the child up for adoption last season, Mary kept the baby girl. This season, she’s had to decide whether she can truly balance motherhood with the demands of her stressful job. Such a juggling act is in capable hands, as McCormack is arguably one of the industry’s most versatile actresses. Her starring turn as Alison in Howard Stern’s “Private Parts” in 1997 served as her breakout role. She then turned her attention to the stage, starring as Sally Bowles, opposite Alan Cumming,

in a Broadway production of “Cabaret” for the Roundabout Theatre Company. She later earned a 2008 Tony nomination for her role in the Broadway revival of “Boeing-Boeing.” Fans of NBC’s now-defunct political drama “The West Wing” may remember her from her recurring role as Deputy National Security Advisor and ex-CIA officer Kate Harper. Other TV credits include HBO’s “K Street” and ABC’s “Murder One.” Her role as Mary Shannon in “In Plain Sight” has earned her not only millions of TV-viewing fans but also a nomination for a 2009 Prism Award, which honor accurate portrayals of substance abuse, mental health and addiction. McCormack and the rest of the “In Plain Sight” cast made the move to Fridays when the fifth season premiered in March. Friday nights are usually a dead zone for TV drama, and only the strong survive.

In fact, Fridays have proven to be particularly lucky for USA, as three of its most successful series have been launched on the night: “Monk,” “Psych” and “White Collar.” Such victories have made USA

the No. 1 cable network for six years. The future looks bright with three recent pilot pickups. Nathan Lane is set to star in “Local Talent,” a half-hour comedy also boasting the talents of Cheyenne Jackson, Ken Jenkins, Caroline Rhea, Laura Bell Bundy and Richard Kohnke. USA has also snagged the comedy “Paging Dr. Freed” and a one-hour drama so far simply known as “The Untitled Jeff Eastin Project.”

Having lost a leg when she was a child, Drescher now works as the national spokesperson for the amputee organization One Step Ahead. She lives with her husband Reid and their four children on the Upper East Side. Viewers may recognize Radziwill from her time working as a journalist for ABC News. She was married to fellow

thing is bigger and better in New York City, including the socialite circle. This scene is filled with multimillionaires, royalty’s distant relatives, business moguls and a slew of beautiful people -- it offers great potential for reality TV. Three New Yorkers will soon reveal what gives them star power as they join the cast of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of New York City” for the show’s fifth season, which premieres on Monday, June 4. The network recently announced that Aviva Drescher, Carole Radziwill and Heather Thomson have joined the remaining three cast Fashion designer members Heather Thomson is one of three new women on “The Real Housewives of New York City”

producer Anthony Radziwill, who lost his battle with cancer in 1999. Now, she is a best-selling author and contributing writer for “Glamour” magazine. Thomson is a very successful businesswoman who is best known for her Yummie by Heather Thomson line of shapewear. She previously worked with Jennifer Lopez and Beyoncé Knowles and was also the design director for Sean “Diddy” Combs’ clothing line, Sean John, when it first launched. Fans will get a taste of the new dynamic as the six women get to know each other at a party in the season’s 90-minute debut episode. Drama gets stirred up right away when Drescher learns that a couple of the ladies were once connected to her ex-husband, and de Lesseps continues to fight with Singer. THE RACE AND RACISM: Before the Second World War had even begun, an American hero dealt the Nazi regime a slap in the face. To add insult to injury, the blow was made by a black athlete, who left his Aryan competitors in the dust while racing them in their own nation’s capital. The story of Olympian Jesse Owens is one of triumph, bravery, focus and strength, and it is being celebrated in a new film that airs this week as part of PBS’s “American Experience” series. Premiering on Tuesday, May 1, “Jesse Owens” highlights the track and field star who became the first black athlete to ever win

four Olympic gold medals. The fact that this was all achieved at the 1936 Berlin Games makes Owens’ story that much more remarkable. “He is the quintessential Olympic hero. He stood up to racists in Germany, he stood up to racists at home, and he did it with a grace and a genius that have not been equaled,” said Jeremy Schaap, an ESPN reporter who participated in the film and also authored “Triumph: The Untold Story of Jesse Owens and Hitler’s Olympics.” The film examines Owens’ success at the college level before the Olympics, his unlikely bond with German competitor Carl “Luz” Long, and how he survived after

being banned from sanctioned amateur sporting events in his home country. “Jesse Owens was able to carve out his own path and sustain himself, his family and his legacy during very troubling and limited times for black men,” said Laurens Grant, the film’s director and producer. “There were no endorsement deals for black athletes. It’s incredible that he was able to achieve, survive and remain positive through it all.” Grant won an Emmy for the 2010 documentary “Freedom Riders” alongside filmmaker Stanley Nelson, who also produced and wrote “Jesse Owens.”

‘Meat’ the family (business) New York butchers step into reality limelight

TV Media

hat is it that makes a hamburger so tasty? For many home cooks, we simply buy the packets of ground beef from the grocery store and then add our own seasonings to try to get that perfect flavor combination. In fact, look up “best burger” online and you’ll find countless recipes for meat patties that are made with everything from Middle Eastern spices to chili peppers, and even cream cheese. But others contend that no matter the seasoning, a burger can only turn out as good as the quality of the meat used for it. Ground beef chuck is the preferred cut for many, but what if you mix the beef with other types of meat, such as pork, lamb, or even buffalo? And does the flavor or texture change that much if the meat is a fattier cut? Pat LaFrieda can answer all of these questions. The New York butcher and meat purveyor has been garnering praise for the meat he supplies to more than 500 customers, including some of the biggest names on the NYC food scene. And now he’s getting a little nationwide recognition, too, as the star of the latest workplace reality series on TV. Airing Mondays on the Food Network, “Meat Men” follows the everyday goings-on at Pat LaFrieda Meat Purveyors and the employees who work at the 35,000-sq.-ft. facility in New Jersey. It has a lot of the elements that are common to most workplace reality shows these days: difficult customers, lastminute requests and conflicts that can only arise from working along-

Cardinals batter sure to clean up this season ith just four major league seasons under his belt, David Freese is already an NLCS and World Series MVP, and he will surely be a fan favorite in St. Louis for years to come. The tenacious thirdbaseman hasn’t missed a step since October, starting the season on a tear and filling in nicely for the huge void left by the departed Albert Pujols. Though the season has barely begun, Freese looks to have no World Series hangover, batting over .300 and driving in runs on nightly basis. So far Freese has answered the call, winning over the fans and helping to put up wins on the regular. It would be impossible to fill the void left by Pujols completely, but if any player on the Cardinals roster could, it would be Freese. When healthy, this batting lineup will be a problem for pitchers all season, and don’t be surprised to see St. Louis back in

the post-season to defend their title. The Cards will plate plenty of runs this season with Rafael Furcal, Carlos Beltran, Matt Holliday and Lance Berkman hitting ahead of Freese, and Yadier Molina right behind him. The key to their success will be a productive Freese, hitting fifth in the lineup. His smooth swing and patient approach at the plate has resulted in great success during his young career. But his stellar defensive play at third base makes the 29-year-old a complete player and potential superstar for years to come. Had it not been for Freese’s clutch hitting during last year’s World Series, it’s safe to say the Texas Ranger would be defending champions, not the Cardinals. The home-town boy batted a torrid .545 in the big dance, smacking three home runs (two were game-winners) and nine RBIs. He also hit a game-tying triple in the bottom of the ninth of Game 6 to save the series for the Cards.
