A small rectangular headstone in a forgotten family cemetery identifies the soul in blackened, barely legible letters as James Prendergast, son of William and Mehitable, born March 9, 1764, and died November 15, 1846. Those in southern Chautauqua County know James Prendergast as the founder of Jamestown. Due to its vast timber and water reserves, Prendergast, the son of pioneers, saw potential in the development of the city to be. A man of ambition and vision, Prendergast overlooked shortcomings others found in the region, including its rough, hilly terrain and areas of swampland. Concerning the humble resting spot, it could be said that things

Twenty-three wineries representing Lake Erie Wine Country will kick off the 2013 season with its annual Wine and Cheese Weekend event on May 3, 4 and 5. Wine and Cheese Weekend is part of four annual events celebrated by the wineries located on a 50-mile stretch between Harborcreek, PA and Silver Creek, NY along the southern south of Lake Erie. As in the past, ticket holders will receive a food and wine-pairing sample at each winery, additional wine tastes, a wine glass, recipe booklet, $5 voucher for wine purchase and a gift. According to Julie Pfadt, Executive Director of Lake Erie Wine Country, there is a diverse array of food offerings for this year’s event including chicken and cheese enchiladas, warm Riesling poached lobster dip, sausage and cheese potato cakes, bacon and cheese mini-

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 2013

I recently discovered a show on Netfl ix called, “I Shouldn’t Be Alive.” The show, produced by The Discovery Channel and aired on Animal Planet, has been running since 2005 and shown a total of 58 episodes. I’ve watched about ten so far, and I can say I’m hooked. The thing, though, that keeps me coming back for me isn’t the storyline of each person. It isn’t their generally dramatic rescue and it isn’t the fi lming or acting. I am amazed, in every case, by the incredible snapshot the show garners into the human will to survive. In one case, a man’s sailboat capsizes in the Atlantic Ocean. He spends 76 days adrift at sea, fi nding new and innovative ways to stay alive. He uses stills to remove the salt from his water so he can drink it. He kills fish that swim around his 6’ emergency raft as he makes his way 1,500 miles across the Atlantic to the Caribbean. He refused to give in. But another story that really hit me was the one of a man who was caught in an Avalanche in the Carpathian mountains. One thing he said went to the gist of ‘the human body just wants to survive. It will go until it can’t go any more, and then it will go further. It’s

the most impressive machine in the world.’ That hit me, and that’s what I love about the show. The human body, the very one that you and I occupy, is absolutely incredible; and I think we too often take that for granted. Over the course of the last 16 months I’ve lost around 70 pounds. I have spent hours and hours educating myself on how my body works, and by that I have gained better understanding of how to get the results I want. Our bodies were designed to be generally self-sufficient. Think of the ingenuity of it. We consume a food, and often one that tastes relatively good, and our body takes that item and converts it into energy. That energy runs us for a while, until we need more. It’s so simple, and yet so ingenious. I was recently enjoying my first campfire of the season with a friend and a cup of coffee, and we began discussing the incredible human body. As you know, I’m a man who puts faith in God for every arena of my life. That includes the body. I cannot look at it, in all it’s marvel and microscopic wonder, and just assume it accidentally happened. The cells are too perfectly made. The DNA too brilliant. The ability to digest and consume and expel and maintain too creative. Take a look at the showand be amazed with me at what the body is capable of handling and rebounding from. It’s astounding.

Renaissance Center. “It’s a great space, and there’s the added benefit of being right next door to the Farmers’ Market. It will also allow the library to expand concessions during this prime fund-raiser for new library materials,” he said. The library is seeking volunteers for setting up from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday, June 3-6, and cleaning up from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Saturday, June 8. During the sale, assistance is also needed in three shifts Friday and two shifts Saturday for jobs such as

front door greeter, special collection volunteer, floor help, shopper exit assistance, second floor help, and kitchen and concession help. A list of time slots and job descriptions is available at www.prendergastlibrary. org and at the Information Desk. The majority of books are donated by members of the community, and proceeds from the sale are used to buy new library materials. “Between now and June 1, we hope people will continue to bring in items to be sold,” said Acting Director Tina Scott.

Donations are tax deductible, and the June 1 deadline gives staff members time to sort them before the sale begins. The library accepts any paperbacks or hardcover books, except for condensed books, textbooks, or encyclopedias more than 10 years old. The sale also includes non-book items such as CDs and DVDs. The Prendergast book sale usually offers more than 40,000 books and draws buyers from all over the country. For information or to volunteer to help with the sale, call 484-7135, Ext. 225.

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pet of the Week

Pets of the Week

This week we are featuring “Barbie” and “Izzy”. Barbie is a ten-month-old cattle dog mix. She is very sweet and loves getting attention. She is well mannered and loves to play and run. She cannot be in a home with small pets, but should do well with a medium or larger dog. Izzy is a fouryear-old shorthaired cat. She has quite the personality and is truly the ruler of her domain. She likes to be petted when she decides. She will get along with another cat or two, but no dogs please. Izzy would also be best with in a home without small children as she can play pretty rough. If you think you can provide the right home for either of these pets looking for a second chance, stop by the Strunk Road Adoption Center and check them out. They are ready to move on to a real forever home. We would like to thank everyone that helped us “spread the word” on the Cat-A-Pawlooza adoption event last week. Thanks to your help, we were able to fi nd homes for 38 cats!

of Health to implement a federal Community Transformation Grant and the initiative to protect the children of Chautauqua

County from chronic illness. Officials report that local efforts focus on longterm sustainable initiatives that improve access to healthy food and beverages, increase opportunities for physical activity, and limit exposure to tobacco smoke. The Community Transformation Grant (CTG) Program is provided through the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to support and enable awardees to design and implement community-level programs that prevent chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. The program is expected to improve the health of more than four out of ten U.S. citizens—about 130 million Americans.

New Obstetrician/Gynecologist Joins Practice Contributed Article LERHSNY

Officials at Lake Erie Regional Health System of New York (LERHSNY) are announcing the addition of obstetrician/ gynecologist Saima Ashraf, M.D., to the active medical staff at Brooks Memorial Hospital in Dunkirk. Dr. Ashraf is accepting patients in her office at 306 Central Ave., Dunkirk, located in the G&P Gynecare Women’s Healthcare Center. New obstetric patients and women seeking general and specialized gynecologic care are invited to call Dr. Ashraf for appointments at 366-4210. Appointments are available Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Jarrod Johnson, MBA, FACHE, Brooks Memorial Hospital Chief Operating

Officer, said hospital and LERHSNY officials are pleased that area women now have another provider for their specialized health care needs. “Having recently added Dr. Ashraf’s husband to our team, we are now proud to announce that she is on site and delivering the same high level of quality care to our patients,” Mr. Johnson explained. “These services are available locally and provide women close to home care without having to travel outside the area and lose valuable work time or time away from their families.” Dr. Ashraf’s spouse obstetrician/gynecologist Tawsufe Majid, M.D., joined the practice at G&P Gynecare Women’s Healthcare Center in 2011. Dr. Ashraf’s interest in her area of specialization, she noted, came from her cultural background in Kash-

with her patients over the long term, from adolescent needs through midlife and later. “You form a close bond with the patients,” Dr. Ashraf said. “This is the only field where you can provide primary care and advanced care in the highly skilled field of laparoscopic surgeries.” Dr. Ashraf describes her community as “very beautiful and everyone’s friendly. I feel very safe here.” The physician and her husSaima Ashraf, M.D. band have a three year old daughter Ayat Tawsufe mir, India. “In my culture, Majid. women feel more comfortThe new OB/Gyn is acable with female doctors and my parents were a big cepting female patients motivation in my decision,” with routine pregnancies to those with high-risk she explained. “When I pregnancy issues, for Cwent to medical school I felt drawn to the program. section deliveries, vaginal It really satisfied my inter- deliveries and ultrasounds.

The office provides services for issues ranging from annual exams, contraceptive counseling and other gynecologic problems to menopause symptom management. The new physician is available to provide gynecologic care for women with issues including fibroids and abnormal pap smears. Through the addition of Dr. Ashraf to the Brooks Memorial Hospital staff, area women now have an additional women’s health provider for their specialized surgical needs as she is trained to perform highly specialized laparoscopic surgeries, including but not limited to pelvic organ prolapse and reconstruc-

tion, as well as treatment for bladder dysfunctions. Laparoscopic surgical procedures are minimally invasive and allow patients to return to their everyday lives quicker and with less discomfort. Dr. Ashraf also provides women’s health services at UPMC Hamot Women’s Hospital in Erie, PA and is trained in robotic surgery. Dr. Ashraf obtained her medical degree from Government Medical College in India. She completed her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology from the well-respected Hurley Medical Center/Michigan State University-College of Human Medicine in Flint, Michigan. The physician currently holds Junior Fellow status with the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).

No one

would use caretaking as an excuse for Margaret to stay home where a good woman should. Margaret had observed a crack in the glass ceiling, a tiny fissure that she could squeeze herself through to the top. With a little help at home and at work, women like Margaret could enter a new realm, the realm of politics, just like her father had, and that’s exactly what Margaret set out to do. In 1959, Margaret Thatcher joined the British Parliament. She represented almost 50% of the population, was extremely intelligent with a will to match. The additional support at home from her husband and children allowed Margaret to approach her adversaries head on, tackling the most difficult people and issues with assertiveness and confidence that had never been seen in a woman of the Parliament. Margaret’s hard work paid off and she broke through the political glass ceiling once more as Secretary of

State for Education and Science. Another hit on the head and Margaret was elected the first female leader of the Conservative Party in 1975. Women’s rights and issues were at the forefront of this era. Women were entering the workforce in numbers, domestic roles were being redefined, and they were becoming politically involved regarding the war and world issues. Could Margaret go any higher or was the ceiling shatterproof? Even the Soviet’s nickname of Iron Lady couldn’t stop Margaret. She was on a roll. In 1979, Margaret Hilda Roberts Thatcher became the first female Prime Minister of Great Britain. She continued in that role for three more terms, giving her the longest reign of any Prime Minister in Britain’s political history. Those years were not necessarily easy ones, as Margaret had to establish her credibility at every turn, fighting battles traditionally fought

by men and making decisions that were not popular. While many may not have agreed with Margaret’s political views, her ability to get the job done despite all odds earned her the respect she deserved. She took on the British government and put industry back into the hands of the private sector. Her hard line with the Soviets and siding with Ronald Reagan on his Cold War policies earned her a reputation amongst leaders as an unmovable force. She succeeded in gaining back the Falklands, diverting large scale war and increasing her popularity. She refused to cave in to union demands, despite their prior successes using intimidation tactics. Margaret Thatcher appeared invincible as a political leader. She had climbed through the glass ceiling. It was 1989 when Margaret’s political views and steadfast ways caused a split in her cabinet. Apparently, there was a limit

to how much iron fist the system was willing to take. It was time for Margaret to leave the House, time for the next phase of her glass busting career. Until her untimely death this month, Margaret Thatcher remained an advisor to leaders around the world. Her unwavering views, hard-line opinions and tough as nails attitude had gained her the respect she deserved and worked so hard to achieve. To the very end, Margaret was unstoppable as a woman, a politician and a human being. Margaret Thatcher (1925 – 2013) has made an impact on society, paving the way for female political leaders such as Hilary Clinton, Condi Rice and Sandra Day O’Connor to broach new territories and make a difference in the world which we live in. Margaret had seen the glass ceiling, and she broke it. If there is one located in Heaven, Margaret will find it. St. Peter may have met his match.

dispelling the Stigma of Mental illness “StrideS for my mind” 5k run/ waLk and community weLLneSS day Set for may 25 By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor

Jann Ball hopes that someday people can speak as freely about how they are feeling mentally or emotionally as they do today about a bad back or other physical ailment. The Compeer Chautauqua director believes one way to achieve that is to continue to raise awareness, bringing mental health issues into a public forum to destigmatize a topic, which for too long has been taboo. To that end, she has collaborated with representatives from Chautauqua Tapestry and Chautauqua County for the first annual “Strides for my Mind” 5K Run and Walk on May 25 at Jamestown Community College. “One in five people are dealing with some level of a mental health disorder,says Ball, whose organization matches trained volunteers with mental health service recipients in one-to-one friendship relationships. She says the goal of the event is to capitalize on the current popularity of 5K races, while focusing on the connection of physical wellness and emotional well-being. “One of the main benefits with an event like this is that it brings to light what many people might be afraid to discuss- what is happening to them,” says Ball. “People are not as comfortable discussing their emotional or mental health concerns as they are

their physical concerns.” The “Strides for the Mind” event hopes to foster that same level of acceptance and freedom, she explains. Getting those affected by mental health conditionseither themselves or their family members -to come

forward to speak about what they are facing and the tools they have used to cope, is still another way to increase the comfort level among those dealing with similar concerns. “That will get others to feel comfortable sharing what they are going through as well,”

Ball explains. She gives the example of pastor and author Rick Warren, whose spoke about his son’s recent suicide and life-long battle with mental illnesses. “Anytime you have anyone of that importance that

comes out, who is willing to talk honestly about what is happening in their lives, the conversation grows.” The event coincides with May as Mental Health Awareness Month. Briana Palmer, Early Recognition Specialist of Chautauqua County Mental Health Department, is helping to coordinate the event with Ball and Lexy Baglia of Chautauqua Tapestry. Palmer says this year’s theme declared by the National Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health is “Out of the Shadows, Exposing Stigma.” “Since mental and physical health go hand in hand, our day will be focused on overall wellness, with a highlight on mental health.” Palmer says that monies raised from the event will be earmarked for next year’s run, “so we can continue to expose the importance of mental health annually.” Any leftover funds will benefit the Compeer program, she explained. The event takes place on Saturday, May 25 and will begin at Jamestown Community College near the student union, and follow

a course into Falconer. Walkers are also encouraged to participate. Following the 5K run/ walk, a wellness event takes place at the student union, where mental health agencies and other vendors will be on hand to share free information with families.

RELIGION SECTION Keeping the Faith

Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia www.fcfredonia.org

Dear Pastor, as a Christian, I know I shouldn’t fear, but I feel controlled by it. Can you help me? My dear friend, my heart goes out to you. Being afraid is a very difficult way to live. The Bible describes the effects of fear as “torment” (I John 4:18). I can attest to the torment that you are experiencing because I was once a fearful person. At the age of 18 I was afraid of the dark, among other things. Some people may think that’s funny, but being under the bondage of fear is no laughing matter! I have learned a great

deal since then and will share the steps that are necessary to be free from fear. The first step towards freedom is to commit yourself to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. When Jesus is our Lord, He gives us the power to overcome fear. One can be saved, but fail to make Jesus Lord. What do I mean? We are saved when we believe that Jesus came to save us from sin. Making Jesus our Lord occurs when we choose to follow Him and try to put away anything that may be displeasing to Him. How does this relate to conquer-

ing fear? In the military, for one to have authority, one must be submitted to authority. For us to exercise authority over fear, we must be submitted to Jesus’ commands. When we’re not, the devil can have liberty in our lives (Ephesians 4:27). If you haven’t made a commitment to Jesus Christ, do it today! A simple prayer from your heart can ready you for the next step. If you have submitted to the Lordship of Jesus, you’re ready to go to step two which is to recognize that the source of fear is from the devil (2 Timothy 1:7, Hebrews

2:14,15). Also, Satan’s weapon of fear doesn’t have to be real; it just has to seem real to you! A good thing to remember is the acronym F.E.A.R., False Evidence Appearing Real! Someone afraid of the dark may know in their head that there is nothing there, yet they may still feel fear and behave accordingly (i.e. avoidance). The devil’s purpose for fear is to keep you in bondage and ineffective for God’s use. Understanding fear and where it comes from will go a long way to helping you be free. Next week...more on fear!

The Weekly Word

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church Jamestown thenewfamilychurch.com

The Power of Suggestion I have been asked many times why bad people prosper. Our world is filled with celebrities, athletes, and politicians that seem to live above the law and yet they get more status, fame, and fortune. Even common folks who reject God, blaspheme, and live devilish seem to prosper for a season. This confuses many Christians who are putting forth effort to live faithfully for God. The Bible promises swift destruction for the wicked but yet it seems like they’re the ones prospering. Clearly those people are inspired by the devil yet they are doing well. If Satan is a destroyer, why doesn’t he kill these people immediately when they are so obviously living on his turf? This is the reason: Satan has no real power so he needs to borrow the influence of others. He was

defeated and stripped of all power when Christ rose victorious. (Col 2:15, Luke 10:19, Heb 2:14) Satan doesn’t want to kill the individual; he wants to kill the entire society. He needs people of corrupt influence to remain in their position to plant examples of wrong living into the minds of an ignorant public. Satan is more than pleased to see a corrupt man prosper in the full view of everyone to see. In a less public sense, there is no doubt somebody around you in your life that is prospering despite their wicked ways. Satan knows how it works: He needs preachers too. Can’t destroy the messenger or else you will destroy the message. Only when the ungodly have made their mark on someone else, will the devil move in for the kill. The devil’s plan for your life is to move people of corrupt influ-

ence into your path to plant seeds of destruction into your mind. Proverbs 17:20 in the Amplified Bible says, “He who has a wayward and crooked mind finds no good…” The devil isn’t going to try to haunt you with apparitions; he is going to try to produce the wrong aspirations in your mind. Your mind is the focal point for all spiritual attack. If your mind is crooked and wayward then you cannot find anything good. God and His Word is the epitome of all goodness. Therefore you could read that verse this way: “He who has a wayward and crooked mind finds nothing from God…” Happy is the devil when you look upon people of corrupt character and say, “That works for them, maybe it will work for me.” Whatever you give your mind permission to do it will do.

God has programmed all of us to “find a good thing.” He made us that way so that we would find Him. (Acts 17:26-27) The problem that people have is this: They are looking for something good apart from God and it doesn’t exist. Therefore, since they are programmed to search, they keep searching and find nothing. The result? Burned out emotions, broken marriages because they thought a spouse could replace God, loss of sleep, and every form of misery. Life is a struggle when you can’t find a good thing. So what do people do? Imitate people who give the false impression that they’re happy without living for God. People follow the wrong path because their mind is falsely convinced of what happiness really is.

SENIOR SECTION

Medication Safety For Seniors Senior.com

If you’re older than 65 and take multiple medications, you should be aware of potential interactions between your drugs. These interactions can cause unwanted side effects, reduce the effectiveness of your medicine, or even lead to hospitalization. Studies show that up to 30 percent of hospital admissions of elderly patients are linked to harmful effects of medications and other related problems. Many people not only take more than one medication, but also may see more than one doctor. It is important to inform all your doctors – especially your primary care physician – about all the medications you take to avoid potentially dangerous drug interactions. “As a patient, you need

to be watchful about your care and your medications,” says Dr. Joseph Addiego, chief medical officer of Prescription Solutions, a pharmacy benefits management company. “If you are seeing multiple doctors, keep a list of all your medications and take it to each doctor’s appointment. If you have questions, always feel free to ask your doctor or pharmacist.” Addiego recommends the following tips to ensure safe medication use: Share information with your primary care physi-

cian and other health care providers about all the medications you are taking to avoid negative drug interactions and reduce the potential for side effects. This includes vitamins,

tion medicines. This helps your pharmacist monitor which medications you take so he or she can let you know about drug interactions. Read carefully the information that comes with your medication and save it for future reference. Take all your medicines exactly as directed, and herbal supplements and continue taking over-the-counter medicaall your medicines until the tions. doctor says to stop. Use only one pharmacy, Call your doctor, pharmaone pharmacy chain or one cist or pharmacy benefits pharmacy benefits manmanager if you are expeager for all your prescripriencing side effects from

your medication before you stop taking it. While medication interactions are a serious problem, there are programs that can help health care providers and patients avoid medication problems. For example, Prescription Solutions a program called the Drug Interaction Alert Program, which alerts the prescribing physician of the potential dangerous interaction between medications for a specific patient. Another program, called Geriatric Rx Monitor, alerts the physician about medications that are not safe for use in older patients. Check with your pharmacy or pharmacy benefits manager about programs that can help protect you from dangerous medication interactions, and be sure to talk to your doctor about all your medications at your next visit.

robert Franklin to Join chautauqua institution as director of department of religion

Contributed Article Chautauqua Institution

Chautauqua Institution is pleased to announce the appointment of the Rev. Dr. Robert M. Franklin Jr. as the new director of its Department of Religion, following the retirement of the Rev. Dr. Joan Brown Campbell at the end of the year. Franklin is president emeritus and Distinguished Professor of Social Ethics at Morehouse College, where he served as the tenth president of the nation’s largest private, four-year liberal arts college for men from 2007 through 2012. He has been an active participant in Chautauqua’s religious programming since 2001, serving as lecturer, chaplain, theologian-inresidence, adviser to the Institution’s Abrahamic program, and as a member of the Institution’s board of trustees. “I am excited and truly grateful for the opportunity to work with Robert Franklin as Chautauqua’s new director of the Department of Religion,” said Chautauqua President Thomas Becker. “Robert is a genuine scholar and a man

of deep and committed faith. That combination is particularly powerful in the context of Chautauqua’s work and its ambitions.” Chautauqua Institution is a community on the shores of Chautauqua Lake in southwestern New York state that comes alive each summer with a unique mix of fi ne and performing arts, lectures, interfaith worship and programs, and recreational activities. Founded in 1874 as an educational experiment in out-ofschool, vacation learning for Sunday School teachers, Chautauqua provides a wide variety of services of worship, interfaith lectures and other programming that express the Institution’s Christian heritage as well as its interfaith commitment. “I am honored to become an official part of the life of Chautauqua and excited about working with Tom Becker, the board and staff to ensure a vibrant future for the Religion Department,” Franklin said. “There’s no place in the world quite like Chautauqua, and working with the entire community I pledge to do everything I can to project Chautauqua’s values, practices and moral vision throughout the country and the global community.” At Chautauqua, Franklin has served as a member of the Religion Department’s Abrahamic Advisory Committee; speaker on the Institution’s morning and afternoon lecture platforms; chaplain-inresidence; and, in 2005, theologian-in-residence for the nine-week season, as he prepared his book Crisis in the Village: Restoring Hope in African American Communities. Franklin’s Chautauqua lectures have examined “America’s Unfi nished Agenda”—the ongoing work of embracing diversity in the United States and learning from the nation’s history—and Martin Luther King Jr.’s expectation that morally serious people work actively to promote economic opportunity with justice to eradicate racism and to practice nonviolence, all working toward the creation of what King called “a beloved community.” Franklin served as a member of Chautauqua Institution’s board of trustees from 2008 to 2009. Franklin will assume his position as director of the Religion Department fol-

lowing the retirement of the Rev. Dr. Joan Brown Campbell at the end of the year. This summer, Franklin will give the 2 p.m. Interfaith Lecture on Wednesday, July 10, as part of a weeklong exploration of “Emancipation: Where Do We Go From Here?” and will preside over the fi nal service of worship and preach in Chautauqua’s amphitheater on Sunday, Aug. 25. “It is with a profound sense of gratitude that I pass the baton of leadership of Chautauqua’s department of religion to Robert,” said Campbell. “He brings to this important role the heart of a dedicated Christian pastor and a firm commitment to a world where people of every faith, and of no faith, are honored and respected. “Robert is a scholar, a teacher and a lifelong learner, and is in every way a Chautauquan,” she said. Franklin’s continued presence as a distinguished professor at Morehouse College will build upon institutional linkages that enhance both institutions and allow him to remain current with the latest research in religion, science and the humanities, dialogues among faculty, and the interests, habits and priorities of young people. Ordained in the Church of God in Christ in 1975, Franklin graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Morehouse College in 1975 with a degree in political science and religion. He continued his education at Harvard Divinity School, earning a master of divinity degree in Christian social ethics and pastoral care in 1978, and the University of Chicago, earning a doctorate in ethics and society, and religion and the social sciences in 1985. He also undertook international study at the University of Durham, U.K., as a 1973 English Speaking Union Scholar. His major fields of study include social ethics, psychology and African-American religion. His pastoral positions have included assistant pastor at St. Paul Church of God in Christ in Chicago and Protestant chaplain at St. Bernard Hospital, also in Chicago. In 1997, Franklin assumed the presidency of the Interdenominational Theological Center (ITC), the graduate theological seminary of the Atlanta University

Center consortium where he served until 2002. From 2004 to 2007, he served as Presidential Distinguished Professor of Social Ethics at Emory University where he provided leadership for a university-wide initiative titled “Confronting the Human Condition and the Human Experience” and was a senior fellow at the Center for the Study of Law and Religion at the law school. Franklin has also served on the faculties of the University of Chicago, Harvard Divinity School, ColgateRochester Divinity School and at Emory University’s Candler School of Theology, where he gained a national reputation as director of Black Church Studies. He is currently a Visiting Scholar in Residence at Stanford University’s Martin Luther King Jr. Research and Education Institute. Franklin is the author of three books: Crisis in the Village: Restoring Hope in African American Communities; Another Day’s Journey: Black Churches Confronting the American Crisis; and Liberating Visions: Human Fulfi llment and Social Justice in African American Thought. He has co-authored a volume titled From Culture Wars to Common Ground: Religion and the American Family Debate. In 2012, he wrote the foreword to a reprint of King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail.” Franklin is married to Dr. Cheryl Goffney Franklin, an OB-GYN physician who holds degrees from Stanford University, Columbia University School of Public Health and Harvard Medical School. He is the father of three children: Imani R. Franklin, Robert M. Franklin III and Julian M. DeShazier.

It is admired for its superb vocal writing, its dramatic impact, and its deft orchestral arrangements.” In the Met’s current production, the opera that conquered London in Handel’s time is given an inventive staging by acclaimed Director David McVicar. The world’s leading countertenor, David Daniels, sings the title role opposite Natalie Dessay as an irresistibly exotic Cleopatra. Baroque specialist Harry Bicket conducts. The Huffington Post calls is “a thrilling operatic experience that is a feast for the eyes and ears.” Classical Review calls it “a stunning production of one of Handel’s most magnificent works… so kaleidoscopically imaginative that repeated viewings are mandatory… an unforgettable, visionary theatrical event.”The production runs four hours, 25 minutes, says Davis.

division of transportation construction 2013 Season is about to begin county to compLete miLLennium parkway proJect and crack SeaLing, reSurfacing, and bridge repair

Contributed Article Ofﬁce of the County Executive

Chautauqua County Executive Greg Edwards and Chautauqua County Department of Public Facilities Director George Spanos have announced that the Transportation Division is about to put its 2013 construction season into full swing. Over the past several weeks, crews have been out working on winter clean up, ditching, and patching potholes. In early May, crews will start the cracksealing program on county roads and will also be ditching, grading shoul-

ders, and doing extensive patching to prepare roads for resurfacing. In June, the county will start into the main part of the highway resurfacing program. This will include chip sealing or oil and stone surface treatment and the resurfacing of over 85 miles of road throughout the county. One big project that the Chautauqua County Department of Public Facilities (DPF) will be working on is the construction of Millennium Parkway. DPF has been designated as the acting project sponsor for this $6.3 million project. The new highway would link the New York State

Thruway, N.Y. Route 60, N.Y. Route 5, and the Chadwick Bay Industrial Park in the city of Dunkirk and the towns of Dunkirk and Sheridan. “We have worked for over seven years to get to this stage in the construction of a route for heavy truck traffic through Northern Chautauqua County enabling trucks to serve our growing manufacturing and agriculture businesses,” said Edwards. “The increase in traffic has meant an increase in jobs and an improved economy, and the construction of the Millennium Parkway will improve safety, efficiency, and reduce pollution while at the same time opening

up the old Roblin Steel/ Alumax property for even more development.” The Division of Transportation has also already begun their annual bridge repair and rehabilitation program for 2013. The Department has crews dedicated to bridge repair and replacement for the construction season and they are scheduled to rehabilitate or replace approximately twelve structures throughout the county. Part of the annual bridge maintenance occurs through contracting with the local fire departments for bridge washing to remove debris and salt from surfaces. The county will also be replacing two bridges under

amtryke bike day Scheduled at Jcc

Federal MAP-21 funding. This program provides for funding at 80% Federal, 15% State, and 5% County and allows the County to replace some of its more costly bridges. The construction season generally runs from April to November and motorists are asked to watch for and be aware of construction crews working on the highways. Some construction projects will involve posted detours and work zones and DPF asks for drivers’ cooperation and patience in following and obeying posted signs and flaggers’ directions.

“Please obey the work zone speeds and give our workers a brake,” said Spanos. “They are out there for you, working to make your travels safer and more enjoyable.” The Chautauqua County Department of Public Facilities maintains 552 miles of road, 308 bridges, and 258 culverts in Chautauqua County.

Natural Gas Equals Big Business for Local Company Cotton Well Drilling’s new public filling station By Daniel Meyer Star Contributing Writer

The first compressed natural gas automotive filling station in Chautauqua County represents big business for a company based in the Town of Sheridan. Construction of the facility was recently completed and is now open for business, with fleets and privately owned vehicles welcome to come fill up. Centrally located in the heart of Sheridan at 11363 Center Road, the station is approximately 5.5 miles from Exit 59 (Dunkirk) and about 10 miles from Exit 58 (Silver Creek) of the New York State Thruway. The station can fill one vehicle at a time and is open for business 24 hours a day, seven days a week for passenger cars and fleets. Cotton Well Drilling Company is a gas supplier with clients that include National Gas, who buys gas to fuel their vehicles. Owned by Don Cotton, the company converted 18 trucks to natural gas last summer and the investment in converting that feel should be paid off in approximately two years. Cotton’s big diesel trucks have been getting around 10 miles per gallon, a great rate when compared to the 30 miles per gallon of compressed natural gas. Company officials say the cost to build the natural gas filling station was

around $200,000, with the hopes that repeat and new customers who drive private vehicles as well as fleets will create a steady flow of revenue for Cotton Well Drilling. For those area residents not familiar with the company, Cotton Well Drilling is a small, family owned outfit that currently operates and manages approximately 200 natural gas wells throughout Chautauqua and Erie counties. Cotton is known in the natural gas industry as a man who is not afraid to walk the unbeaten path. He has been experimenting with natural gas vehicles for years, constantly studying new ways to help the industry evolve and develop and never satisfied with his findings. The new natural gas filling station in Sheridan uses a compressor they already had and the natural gas from National Fuel to transport from the wells in Chautauqua County and Erie County. Cotton’s long-term vision and strategic planning for his company is to help foster the “greener planet” philosophy in order to be less dependent on foreign oil through the use of compressed natural gas. Never one to keep his philosophy a secret, Cotton told his employees last year during a design meeting that the addition of a natural gas filling station for public use “only makes sense” and that logically it is a way to help the general public

embrace the future. Company officials firmly believe natural gas is a cost effective, clean and abundant energy source that should be taken advantage of, especially since it is produced right here in the United States. The cost at the pump is about one half that of gasoline, and those savings combined with reduced CO2 emissions makes natural gas a fuel alternative that is a “win/ win” for everyone. Natural gas as fuel in automobiles has a greatly reduced environmental impact when compared to gasoline and diesel powered vehicles. The reductions in carbon monoxide emissions, carbon dioxide emissions and nitrogen oxide emissions are well documented. In addition, it potentially reduces non-methane hydrocarbon emissions, releases fewer toxic and carcinogenic pollutants, emits little or no particulate matter and eliminates evaporative emissions. All major credit cards are accepted at the station for customer convenience. Any owners of fleets are asked to contact the company to start the process of establishing an account to receive additional savings. For more information about the facility, call Cotton Well Drilling Company at (716) 672-2788 or send an e-mail to: staff@cottondrilling.com.

Jackson Center to Host Young Readers Program May 7 and 8 Contributed Article Robert H. Jackson Center

The Robert H. Jackson Center will host awardwinning author Karen Levine, and Sophia from the Holocaust Resource Center in Buffalo during its Young Readers Program on May 7 and 8, 2013. Now in its ninth year, the two-day event will involve hundreds of local students, as well as educators and statewide essay contest winners and their families. Ms. Levine’s award-winning book, Hana’s Suitcase is the centerpiece of this year’s program. Reaching over three continents, the story connects Hana Brady, a young Jewish girl who was murdered at Auschwitz; a Japanese curator determined to share her story; and Hana’s brother in Canada. A tale of perseverance and hope, it combines history with a modern day detective story, and challenges young readers around issues of racism, resistance, activism and tolerance. Hana’s Suitcase is the subject of a statewide book review essay contest for students in grades 5-8, co-sponsored by the Law, Youth & Citizenship Program of the New York State Bar Association. The essay contest winners will be recognized at a dinner program on May 7 at the Jackson Center featuring Sophia, a Jewish resident of Holland during World War II who will bring insight

and reflection into the Nazi campaign that resulted in the deaths of nearly six million Jews. The pasta dinner is open to the public, and students are especially encouraged to attend. One student wrote, “I was very glad that I got a chance to meet Sophia, because I got to learn about the Holocaust from an actual survivor. She told us how her and her family had eleven different hiding places. I can’t even imagine what her childhood must have been like. She had to get rid of everything she owned, even her identity. One thing that really upset me is when Sophia said people pretended they did not know what was going on. That really made me sad. How could you know that someone is doing wrong and not care to try to change it and make a difference?” Tickets for the May 7 dinner program are $10 per person, with a limited number of advance complimentary tickets available to students courtesy of the

Red Cross. On May 8, Ms. Levine will meet with over 400 students in two sessions at the Robert H. Jackson Center to talk about her book and to answer student’s questions. Through the Center’s distance learning capabilities, both programs will be webcast and videoconferenced live into area school districts to allow hundreds of additional students the opportunity to participate. Karen Levine has worked in public radio for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation since 1979. She has twice received the prestigious Peabody Award for her radio documentaries. Ms. Levine adapted her radio documentary of Hana Brady’s story into a children’s book in 2002. Hana’s Suitcase is now published in over forty countries around the world and has won numerous awards. The Young Readers Program is part of the ongoing mission of the Robert H. Jackson Center to edu-

cate youth on the legacy of United State Supreme Court Justice and Nuremberg prosecutor Robert H. Jackson. At the request of President Harry S. Truman, Jackson served as U.S. Chief Prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials of surviving Nazi leaders. Sponsors for the event include the New York State Bar Association Law, Youth & Citizenship Program, Ahlstrom-Schaeffer, Cattaraugus County Bank, Chautauqua Patrons Insurance, Double A Vineyards, Evans Liquors, Hope’s Windows, Jamestown Mattress, Lake Shore Savings, Mr. & Mrs. Michael Metzger, Red Cross, Serta Mattress and Shults Management Group. The Center is located at 305 East Fourth Street, Jamestown. Tours are available from 10 a.m.–4 p.m., Monday–Friday and Saturdays from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. For additional information about this or other events, contact the Jackson Center at 483-6646 or visit www.roberthjackson.org.

Anderson, the family of three generations, including James and a slave named Tom, moved from Pittstown, New York in the spring of 1805, heading for Tennessee. However, “not finding the people to their liking,” they traveled north, evidentially settling in Quincey (present day Ripley, NY). While prospecting for other places for settlement, James and William eventually bought the Mayville tract of 433 acres and put up a log house. Anderson states, “the rest soon followed and joined in clearing the farm.” According to Sam Genco, assistant superintendent of Lakeview Cemetery in Jamestown, where a large monument stands as the final resting place for the extended Prendergast family, it was James’ brother who first looked at the Ripley area.

Higgins, Congressman Higgins’ son, who is graduating from Fredonia during the morning ceremony with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Music Business. SUNY Fredonia President Virginia S. Horvath noted, “It’s an honor for SUNY Fredonia to welcome Rep. Higgins as our Commencement speaker. He is an enthusiastic advocate for the people of Western New York, and his support of our campus and the Business Technology Incubator has been critical to our success. Because his son, John, is a member of this graduating class, Rep. Higgins has special insights for these graduates and their families.” For the 113th Congress, Congressman Higgins was appointed to the House Committee on Homeland Security and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, where he aims to position the Western New York border community in the forefront of national discussions and help to advance the Peace Bridge project and improve border

operations to strengthen economic ties with Canada. His appointment to the Committee on Foreign Affairs is timely given the existing conflicts in the Middle East and ongoing relations with China whose currency policies deeply affect the American economy. Formerly a member of the Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee for National Security, Emerging Threats, and International Relations, Congressman Higgins has traveled extensively through some of the most volatile regions in the world and has met with world leaders to promote peace in Northern Ireland, the Middle East, South Asia and Africa, including Darfur, Afghanistan and Iraq. Congressman Higgins was an instructor in the History and Economics departments at SUNY Buffalo State College, where he earned his undergraduate degree in Political Science. He also earned an advanced degree in Public Policy and Administration from Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government.

CASSADAGA VALLEY JUNIOR TAKES SECOND AT MR. BUFFALO BODYBUILDING COMPETITION By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

Jarrett Blizzard is not your typical teenager. In fact, Blizzard can’t really be cast as ‘typical’ at all. You’re not apt to fi nd Blizzard playing Xbox and chowing down on pizza with his friends. Nor will you fi nd him at the movies with a bag of buttered popcorn. No, if you’re looking for him, you’ll almost certainly fi nd Blizzard in the gym. Blizzard, a junior at Cassadaga Valley, started competitive bodybuilding recently and just took second place in the teen division at the Mr. Buffalo Contest. It was the fi rst competition for the 17-year old Blizzard and he was competing against more experienced, older guys. Despite that, Blizzard was very close to taking fi rst in his age bracket. “I was amazed,” Jarret’s father, Brad Blizzard said after seeing his son compete. “When we went to that competition it was the fi rst time I saw him do those poses he had been practicing. I didn’t even know it was my son. We had to paint him down with this tanning paint. When he goes on stage they spray themselves down with PAM cooking oil. I’m just so proud of him.” As you might imagine, Blizzard fi rst hit the gym while trying

to get in shape for football. Sometimes, though, lifting can become a passion all its own. “He started working out at the workout center at the high school,” Brad explained. “That kind of got him motivated. He’s been lifting weights for the past ﬁ ve years now for football and bodybuilding is just something he decided he wanted to do and dedicated himself totally to it. He’s in the gym every morning and night.” Lifting is only the ﬁ rst stage of being a bodybuilder. Another ever-important aspect of it is diet — which is where Blizzard really shows his commitment to the trade. “He’s on a high-protein diet,” Brad noted. “When he gets closer to the competition he

me up with a couple guys who really helped Jarrett get ready for this.” If you’re familiar with bodybuilding in the least, you know the name Arnold Schwarzenegger, who turned a career as a bodybuilder into careers in acting, directing, business and investing and was of course also the 38th Governor of California. Like many aspiring bodybuilders, Schwarzenegger is one of Blizzard’s inspirations and the Cougar even got to see the legend in person at the Arnold Classic, a huge fitness event in Columbus, Ohio. Of course, with the good — pride, trophies, self-esteem, etc. — unfortunately comes the bad. Bodybuilding is an activity that lends itself to rampant steroid use, but luckily for Blizzard, he has that ever-present, strong support system of family, friends and coaches. “We’ve talked in depth about (steroid use),” Brad acknowledged. “So have his coaches in school. He’s against it 100 percent. We’ve told him, and he knows, what that will do to your body.” Blizzard is an intriguing young man. In addition to his bodybuilding and football, he’s also a very good golfer, having earned medalist honors in high school golfi ng events. Golf is a sport known much more for flexibility than brute strength,

goes into a low-carb diet. For two or three days he has no carbs at all. He eats a lot of chicken and ﬁ sh and stays away from the fruits and sugars.” Staying dedicated has to be taxing, but Blizzard has a group of supporters that help make it all possible. His parents, high school coaches and others have been part of Blizzard’s training. “Our coaches at the school have been working with him,” Brad added. “They set up regular lifting programs for the athletes. Our football coach also participated in bodybuilding competitions at one points so he’s aware of what should and shouldn’t be done. “I contacted a friend of mine who owns Darwin’s,” he continued. “Ross Conti hooked CONTINUED ON PG 2

The All Draft Steal Team (Pt. 1)

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

By the time you are reading this, the 2013 NFL Draft will be well under way. Yes, the draft actually continues after Thursday’s primetime fi rst round. Actually, some of the best players in NFL history have been selected in the later rounds of the draft. Yes, the majority of Pro Football Hall of Famers have probably been selected in the fi rst or second round because talent evaluators rarely miss on a guy that badly, but there have been plenty of late-round gems, Pro Bowlers and Super Bowl champs. It’s easy to compile a list of the top-10 draft steals or the top-10 draft busts — and anyone who has read my commentary more than two weeks knows my love of lists — but what would an entire team of late-round gems look like? That was my project for this week and I unearthed some eyepopping discoveries. Once again I got so long winded that I had to break the column up into two parts, but I think it’s one that you’ll enjoy.

ing a marked improvement in one area — distance with my irons. Unfortunately it’s throwing me off a little bit. A shot I would normally use an 8-iron for, I now need either a 9-iron or even a pitching wedge or I ﬂy right past the green. That said, the added distance with irons is great. The difference in loft between an 8-iron and a pitching wedge is crucial sometimes. It’s much easier to get a shot to stay on the green when it’s coming in from a higher angle (though you have to repair more ball marks on the green). I’m totally at a loss on how to approach No. 7 at Sugar Hill. It’s a short par 4, but I almost always get into trouble in the trees to the left and am lucky to register a double-bogey when all is said and done. I don’t know how to put a draw on the ball off the tee, so I’m constantly experimenting with different clubs to

try and lay up. It hasn’t worked. P.S. If anyone fi nds a Callaway ball with a Miller Lite logo on it at No. 7 at Sugar Hill, I’d be eternally grateful if you left it at the desk for me. That’s my lucky ball but I lost it somewhere in the trees on that hole. Last week I wrote about my difficulty with the 60˚ lob wedge. Well as if someone fl ipped a switch, I remembered how to hit it. In both of my rounds it was probably my most consistent club. I can’t hit it very far, but hopefully I’ll never have to with my improving iron play. Want to know how I rapidly improved with the lob wedge?

on a playing field instead of only the classroom has been very enjoyable. And I really like winning. This year, Cassadaga Valley had 59 girls in grades 7-12 try out for softball, which says a lot about the popularity of the program and its success.” Q: What have you found to be the hardest part of coaching? Balling: “The hardest thing about coaching is losing. My favorite saying is ‘You play games to have fun and it’s no fun losing, even if you’re playing checkers.’ Weather is also difficult when coaching a spring sport.” Q: What has been your proudest moment as a coach? Balling: “My proudest moment was winning the first section title at the University of Buffalo with a 1-0 win over Frewsburg. The funny part was that the Frewsburg bus broke down on the NYS Thruway and we picked them up and took the team to Buffalo. They got another bus to take them home.” Q: Do you have any personal goals set for the future? Balling: “Every coach chases that dream of winning a state title. Not many teams and coaches get to experience that level of success but I will always strive for it. Maybe some day I will get to coach my grandchildren if I ever have any.”

COMMENTARY CONTINUED FROM PG 1 overall by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the year before but spurned them to play professional baseball. That said, Oakland took a flyer on a guy and were rewarded with the best athlete the sport, and possibly the planet, has ever seen. In the seventh round, Bo knows bargains. RB: Terrell Davis, Broncos (1995, 6th round, 196th overall) — All Davis did was help Denver capture two Super Bowl titles, had seasons of 1,750 and 2,008 yards rushing and help make Mike Shanahan look like a genius. Not bad for a guy drafted in the sixth round who started as a special teamer. “Bo needs a breather, get in there Terrell.” Yes, please. WR: Andre Reed, Bills (1985, 4th round, 86th overall) — Reed was an integral part of the Bills’ famed K-Gun offense in the 90s. He’s Buffalo’s career leader in both receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. If he didn’t keep running up against the likes of Cris Carter, Tim Brown and Jerry Rice on the ballot, Reed would be in the Hall of Fame by now. Not bad for a kid from Kutztown University. WR: Harold Carmichael, Eagles (1985, 7th round, 161st overall) — The tallest wide receiver in NFL history, the 6-foot-8 Carmichael was much more than just a big body. He recorded a catch in a then-record 127 straight games and was named to the NFL’s AllDecade Team for the 70s. In retrospect, why would a monster like Carmichael sit on the board while 160 players got picked ahead of him? I can’t answer that. TE: Marques Colston, Saints (2006, 7th round, 252nd overall) — For those of you who see something wrong with this, it’s true, Colston was actually taken as a possible tight end candidate for the Saints with the fourthto-last selection in the 2001 draft. Colston being eligible at TE actually won me a fantasy league his rookie year and he’s done nothing but haul in big catches for the Saints since he fi rst took the field. OT: Art Shell, Raiders (1968, 3rd round, 80th overall) — Remember when the Raiders actually made good draft moves? Shell was the key of an offensive line that led the Raiders to two Super Bowl titles in the 70s. The third round might not seem like a total steal until you look and see that 13 offensive tackles were taken before Shell in the 1968 draft.

OT: Roosevelt Brown, Giants (1953, 27th round, 321st overall) — We’re turning back the clock to get to Brown, a 9-time Pro Bowler and inductee into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Brown was one of the ﬁ rst dominating left tackles in the game. OG: Larry Allen, Cowboys (1994, 2nd round, 46th overall) — It wasn’t easy to ﬁ nd bargains at guard, so I went with one of the greatest guards of all time. Allen was selected to 11 Pro Bowls and helped the team win Super Bowl XXX. The guy was respected throughout the league and was elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this year. Not a bad way to use a secondround pick. OG: Jahri Evans, Saints (2006, 4th round, 108th overall) — The guards on this team are one of the best of all time and perhaps the best playing today. Evans has paved the way for Drew Brees and a record-setting offense. He’s been named to four straight Pro Bowls with no end in sight. You can’t ask for anything more out of a fourthrounder. C: Dwight Stephenson, Dolphins (1980, 2nd round, 48th overall) — Again, second round isn’t exactly a ‘steal’ but how often do you get a Hall of Famer with a secondround pick? How often does a guy make the Hall of Fame despite a career cut short due to injury after just seven seasons? That was the explosive talent of Stephenson. K: Morton Anderson, Saints (1982, 4th round, 86th overall) — Kicker’s are a dime a dozen in today’s NFL and a team would get killed by the media if it used a fourthrounded on a kicker, but when you can get the NFL’s all-time leading scorer, that’s a bargain. I accidently typed ‘1882’ instead of ‘1982’ when putting in Anderson’s draft year, but if sure felt like that’s how long he was around. He was old when I started watching football and he still stayed around for years and years. Enjoy the rest of this year’s draft and remember: It’s more than one round long. Injuries and busts happen, a team has to be smart all the way through the process. Tune in next week for draft steals on the defensive side of the ball.

BUFFALO SABRES

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 2013

Vanek Powers Sabres Past Penguins, 4-2 By Will Graves AP Sports Writer

At least Pittsburgh doesn't have to worry about facing Buffalo in the playoffs. At the moment, the Sabres are the one team in the Eastern Conference that has found a way to beat the Penguins at home. Thomas Vanek scored twice, Ryan Miller stopped 40 shots and Buffalo edged Pittsburgh 4-2 on Tuesday night for its second win at Consol Energy Center in as many visits. Steve Ott gave the Sabres the lead for good when he batted a rebound out of the air past Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury with 2:34 left and Vanek added an empty-netter in the fi nal minute. Jochen Hecht also scored for the Sabres, who never trailed while snapping the Penguins' seven-game winning streak. Pittsburgh has still won 22 of its last 25 games, but two of the losses have come to Buffalo, which is already out of postseason contention. ''Obviously we wanted to be in the playoffs, but that's not going to happen but guys want to make sure they finish strong,'' Buffalo coach Ron Rolston said. ''Tonight was a good step in that direction.'' Chris Kunitz scored his 22nd goal for Pittsburgh and Jarome Iginla scored in his fourth straight game but it wasn't enough. Fleury made 29 saves but failed to pick up his 23rd win. The Penguins have already clinched the top seed in the East when the Stanley Cup playoffs begin next week and are in the process of getting healthy. The results against the Sabres were mixed at best. Pittsburgh center Evgeni Malkin assisted on Iginla's goal to pick up a point in his return after missing four games with a lingering shoulder injury but defenseman Brooks Orpik left after the first period with a lower-body injury.

ing well and I don't think we did that quite as much,'' Iginla said. ''We gave up a few too many chances but at the same time we could have still found a way to get a better result.'' Still, the Penguins seemed to have things under control after Iginla tied the score 11:02 into the third period.

The momentum lasted all of 20 seconds, or as long as Kunitz needed to take a pass from Brandon Sutter then wrist a shot off Miller's glove and into the net to tie the score. The Sabres moved back in front when Hecht beat Fleury with a shot from just inside the left faceoff dot 6:11 into the third. The Penguins, with nothing to play for other than an outside chance of catching the Blackhawks for the league's best record, appeared ready to end a three-game in four-day stretch until Kris Letang found Iginla standing by himself at the top of the left circle. Iginla responded with a slap shot that powered its way by Miller for Iginla's fifth goal with Pittsburgh since coming over in a trade from Calgary last month. Buffalo, however, refused to buckle. ''We've been pretty physical lately and we've been skating well and I don't think we did that quite as much,'' Iginla said. ''We gave up a few too many chances but at the same time we could have still found a way to get a better result.'' NOTES: Buffalo ends the season at home against the New York Islanders on Friday.

2012-13 NHL Standings

NHL Power Rankings (through april 24, 2013)

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

These rankings are the opinions of a panel of two. Don’t agree with our rankings? Send us your thoughts at stefan.gestwicki@star-mediagroup.com. 1) Chicago Blackhawks 34-6-5 With a goal differential double anyone in the West, ‘Hawks have to be favorites for Cup. 2) Pittsburgh Penguins 35-11-0 Penguins are just happy that the Buffalo Sabres won’t be in the playoffs. 3) Anaheim Ducks 29-11-6 Ryan Getzlaf has nearly as many short-handed goals (3) as power-play tallies (4). 4) Los Angeles Kings 26-15-5 SoCal will be bumping if the Kings and Sharks clash in Round 1 of the playoffs. 5) Boston Bruins 27-13-5 Bruins have led the league in faceoff percentage basically from the first drop. 6) Vancouver Canucks 26-13-7 After years of being favored, let’s see how the Canucks deal with flying under the radar. 7) Montréal Canadiens 27-14-5 Bad loss in New Jersey with a chance to take control of the division and No. 2 seed in East. 8) Washington Capitals 26-18-2 Adam Oakes went from the hot seat to a possible Jack Adams Award winner. 9) San Jose Sharks 25-14-7 Tuesday’s win assured the Sharks of their ninth straight trip to the postseason. 10) St. Louis Blues 27-17-2 Chris Stewart recorded his 100th career goal and 100th career assist in win over the Avs. 11) Toronto Maple Leafs 25-15-5 Colton Orr leads the NHL in penalty minutes by a wide margin. Tough guy or dumb guy? 12) New York Islanders 24-16-6 New York’s ‘other’ team will be in the playoffs for the first time since 2006-2007. 13) Minnesota Wild 25-18-3 Wild had suffered five straight home losses before downing the Kings, 2-1, Tuesday. 14) New York Rangers 24-18-4 There are a lot of nervous Rangers fans after the team fell to the lowly Panthers. 15) Ottawa Senators 23-16-6About to clinch a playoff spot despite having Erik Karlsson for just 14 games this year. 16) Columbus Blue Jackets 22-17-7 Sergei Bobrovsky is exactly the type of goalie that can steal a series or two in the playoffs. 17) Detroit Red Wings 21-16-8 Their 21-year streak of qualifying for the playoffs is in serious jeopardy right now. 18) Winnipeg Jets 24-20-3Lost a shot at the division in Washington, but can still sneak into the postseason. 19) Buffalo Sabres 20-21-6 The finale against the Islanders will be Ryan Miller’s 500th career game. 20) New Jersey Devils 18-18-10 Martin Broduer has three wins in his last four starts — too little, too late. 21) Dallas Stars 22-20-4 What would have happened if they had held onto Jaromir Jagr? Oh so close. 22) Philadelphia Flyers 21-22-3 Even with nothing to play for, Philly still played its best against rival Boston. 23) Phoenix Coyotes 19-18-8 Phoenix would be a good bet for a non-playoff team that rebounds next year. 24) Calgary Flames 19-23-4They’re somehow playing their best hockey of the season after some big trades. 25) Nashville Predators 16-21-9 Austin Watson (2010 first-round pick) scored his first NHL goal this past week. 26) Carolina Hurricanes 19-24-3 Jordan Staal (-18) was not the difference maker the ‘Canes thought they were getting. 27) Edmonton Oilers 17-21-7 A very disappointing finish to a pretty disappointing season overall. 28) Tampa Bay Lightning 17-24-4 Martin St. Louis and Steven Stamkos both still have a shot at NHL points lead. 29) Florida Panthers 14-26-6Well… there’s always the upcoming NHL Draft Lottery. That could be fun. 30) Colorado Avalanche 15-24-7 Head coach Joe Sacco needs to be fired after his team went 3-16-4 on the road this year.
