A room for ellie

By Katy Wise Contributing Writer

It's officially that time!

We have a little girl nursery ready and waiting for any minute now.

With our due date this coming Tuesday, May 5, it's a huge relief to have everything done before she gets here. There are still some things that wwill probably change or be added as she gets older, but for now we are ready.

This has been my biggest project ever since we found out that we were having a girl this time around. Don't get me wrong, I love little boy stuff, but I was ready for something new and exciting!

Our paint color has been picked out since I was pregnant with our first son, Joshua. I saw a coral colored bedroom somewhere and told my husband that when we had a daughter someday, that would be the color of her nursery.

He naturally responded with laughter, because I have been known to be highly indecisive about paint colors, and he told me he was was pretty sure I would change my mind.

However, here we are, five years later and it was my immediate color choice. And I'm definitely glad that it was!

This is the 'happy' room in our house, just because it's so bright and cheerful with the wall color. The boys' room is probably the other 'happy' room, but there's just something about having a totally girly room in your house.

Even if you don't have a daughter, I highly recommend painting some room in your house coral. Maybe a craft or laundry room?

Once the color was picked out, it was easy to add things in. I knew I wanted gold accents, floral prints, some

polka dots, and some soft blues and greens to compliment all the pink.

There were a few DIY (do-it-yourself) projects involved, and the whole process was just way too much fun for me. Of course, interior decorating is right up there on my list of favorite things, along with baking, crafts and babies.

For DIY inspiration, I turned to none other than Pinterest. My appropriately titled 'Ellie' board, has been full of ideas for quite awhile, including those cute little pom flowers hanging from the ceiling above her crib.

Those were lovingly made by some of my best friends, along with the gold circle garlands; also above the crib.

They were actually made as decorations for a mini shower they threw for me, and were repurposed as decor in the nursery.

I made a couple of pieces of artwork, and painted Ellie's piggy bank. Each of these projects took about 1040 minutes of my time, and I was so happy with how they turned out. With a gold paint marker, I was able to complete all three of these projects, so they $3 marker was a pretty good investment.

We were very fortunate to not need to buy much for her nursery at

all. I have been amazed throughout this whole pregnancy how God has provided for this sweet little baby before she has even arrived.

We were given a white crib and changing table combo, and we already had the dresser and rocking chair. This left simple things such as bedding, curtains, a mirror, bookshelf and a lamp.

Almost all of these

things were found at TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, the clearance section of Pottery Barn Kids or Target. These are some of my very favorite stores for home furnishings, because they have unique, quality made items for reasonable prices.

So here is our major project from the past few months, hope you enjoy!

‘Show and Tell’

CELEBRATING PERSONAL HISTORY MONTH AT PRENDERGAST LIBRARY Contributed Article Real Life Legacies

Everyone remembers bringing a treasured possession to school and telling their friends why they loved it so much. Why should schoolchildren have all the fun? Now everyone will have the chance to share at the second annual “Show and Tell” on May 20 at 7 p.m. in Prendergast Library’s fireplace room.

Everyone young, old, and in between is invited to bring an item with a history and tell a story about it. Old photos, family mementos, and local history artifacts are just some of the things people have brought to Show & Tell. Perhaps it’s an old letter parents wrote to one another during the war, or maybe a musical instrument passed down through generations. The possibilities are endless.

“It’s all about the common experience of sharing a valued possession, while getting people to think about the greater importance of preserving life experiences and memories,” states personal historian Patricia Pihl, host of the event. Pihl is founder of Real Life Legacies, whose mission is to assist individuals, families and organizations in preserving their stories in print format. Pihl is also the author of “Lost Places of Chautauqua County,” which was published last year.

Anyone is welcome to become part of the conversation and speak about their item for a few minutes and answer any questions about it. Participants don’t have to show and tell – they can simply look and listen.

It’s free, it’s fun, and the stories will warm the heart.

As part of the evening’s activities, participants will have a chance to win a keepsake “story card,” featuring a picture of their item on a 5x7 card, with a 200-word explanation of its meaning and significance on the other side. A drawing will be held to determine the winner. Refreshments will also be served.

Personal Historian Patricia Pihl talks about her father’s experience in the European Theatre as she holds his WWII Eisenhower jacket at last year’s “Show and Tell” event.

GOD ON TRIAL

Rev. Timothy Stahlman Family Church Jamestown fcjamestown.org

Faith is simply the verdict we render of God. Either we testify of His salvation, goodness, power, and provision or we press charges against Him as being aloof

and indifferent. At all times you are standing at the witness podium declaring what God is in your life. Your reaction to life is your testimony. Most have rendered God as being an absentee Father. Others have testified that He is the perpetrator of the circumstances they wish to be free from. But from the lips of the faithful streams a constant sworn testimony that convicts God of being their strength. God is always on trial in the court of your opinion. The verdict you render of Him there will determine what He becomes in your life.

Hebrews 11:11 says, "Through faith also Sarah herself RECEIVED STRENGTH to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age,

BECAUSE SHE JUDGED HIM FAITHFUL THAT HAD PROMISED." When Sarah, Abraham's wife, was well stricken in years she became pregnant with the son that God promised to Abraham. The circumstances were grim. Her body did not function like that of a young woman.

Every natural circumstance said that she would never be a mother. But, in the realm of God, there was another reality available to her. The natural circumstances acted like a fierce prosecutor. The truth of God's Word was her only defense attorney. God was on trial in the court of Sarah's opinion. Which side would she testify for? Do you see that your life is a collection of moments just like this?

You fought for our homes.

We’ll fight for yours.

Most modern Christians would have looked at the facts and then turned to a traditional form of rhetoric like, "Well if it happens then God must have willed it and if not then it wasn't meant to be." No! For Sarah HER JUDGMENT was needed for God to move on her behalf. God needed her verdict of His power. So many people are missing these moments in their lives and they are becoming convinced that God doesn't hear them.

What did Sarah do?

It says, "Sarah received strength...because SHE JUDGED Him faithful that promised." The word "judgment" means to render an opinion, to decide after deliberation, and to determine.

Sarah delivered a powerful testimony that said, "God is

strengthening my body, God is faithful, I will have this child." As she judged God, He became exactly what she judged Him to be. Speak the words, "The Lord is the strength of my life." (Ps 27:1) Many people take the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior but few have received Him as Healer. Say, "The Lord is my Healer." You must pass this judgment for God to become these things in your life. Sarah received because Sarah judged properly.

"God is my peace, my joy, my provision forever!" Pray this: "Lord, I judge you to be faithful. You are my Savior, Healer, and Provider."

Don't be deceived to believe that God decides alone what He will be in your life. He is waiting for your verdict.

1891 Fredonia Opera House "An Evening With Alonzo Cushing"

Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House The 1891 Fredonia Opera House will present a special Evening with Alonzo Cushing & Friends on Fri., May 8, at 7:30 p.m. Admission is FREE. Come and meet Civil War hero Alonzo Cushing, Fredonia’s recent Congressional Medal of Honor winner, in person as portrayed by Town of Pomfret Historian Todd Langworthy.

Cushing will entertain the audience with the story of his family, leading up to his heroic stand at Gettysburg, which ended his young life.

In addition, a number of Cushing’s family members will stop by to say hello, including his three brothers, who also fought for the Union during the war, and his younger sister.

A special appearance by other Cushing fam-

ily members and friends also will be a part of this evening of celebration and history.

The show will feature many rare Cushing photos as well as a chance for the audience to interact with our local hero.

Langworthy, in addition to serving as historian for the town of Pomfret, is a high school history teacher who enjoys helping students make local connections to the history of the United States. He is the author of “Images of America: Pomfret, NY” and will be signing books after the event in the lobby.

This performance is presented with support from the United Arts Appeal of Chautauqua County. Admission is FREE, although donations will be gratefully accepted at the door.

1891 Fredonia Opera House Cinema Series to Screen "Woman in Gold"

Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is “Woman in Gold,” the moving and powerful real-life story of a woman coming to terms with her past and seeking restitution for what was taken from her. It stars Helen Mirren and Ryan Reynolds and will be screened on Sat., May 9, and Tues., May 12, at 7:30 p.m.

“Woman in Gold” is the remarkable true story of a woman who overcame great odds with the help of an improbably young lawyer, to right a wrong that had stood for decades. Sixty years after fleeing Vienna during World War II, Maria Altmann (Mirren), an elderly Jewish woman, begins a journey to reclaim family possessions seized by the Nazis.

Among them is Gustav Klimt’s famous painting, Portrait of Adele

Bloch Bauer I, a portrait of her beloved Aunt Adele, which had become a national treasure – an Austrian Mona Lisa.

When Maria discovers a letter in her late sister’s possessions concerning unsuccessful attempts to recover five Klimt paintings which had belonged to her family, all of which now hang in Austria’s famous Belvedere Gallery, she believes she has a case for restitution and seeks advice from a young lawyer Randy Schoenberg (Reynolds).

Having just started at a big law firm and with a newborn child at home, Randy is wary of burdening himself with such an unlikely extracurricular case. The lure of the famous paintings and an increasing sense of duty to his own Jewish heritage overcome him, however. Inexperienced but plucky, his investigation reveals there may have been a systematic cover-up, and denial on a national scale, in order to keep the paintings in Austria.

Together, Maria and Randy embark upon a lengthy legal battle, taking them all the way to the heart of the Austrian establishment and the U.S. Supreme Court.

Richard Roeper, in the Chicago Sun-Times calls the film “a fascinating story, beautifully photographed and greatly elevated by a brilliant performance from the invaluable Helen Mirren.” Rex Reed, in the New York Observer, calls it “a touching film that entertains with warmth and humor while teaching us something about history, law and justice with

enormous heart, subtlety and compassion, brilliantly acted and skillfully written.” Stephen Rea, in the Philadelphia Inquirer, says “the transformation of Reynolds’ lawyer from a bumbler and a stumbler to a victorious litigator, sticking it to an entire nation, is the stuff of a Frank Capra/Jimmy Stewart pic.” Rated PG-13 for some thematic elements and brief strong language, “Woman in Gold” runs 109 minutes.

The Opera House Cinema Series is sponsored by Lake Shore Savings Bank. Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students) the night of each screening. A book of 10 movie passes is available for $60 at the door or online at www. fredopera.org. For more information, call the Opera House Box Office at 716-679-1891.

The Opera House is equipped with individualized closed cap-

tioning headsets for the deaf as well as with assistive listening headsets for the hearing-impaired. Simply request one from any usher or Opera House staff member. Headset funding provided by Robert & Marilyn Maytum, the John Ben Snow Memorial Trust, the Dunkirk-Fredonia Lions Club, and by a grant from Theatre Development Fund’s TAP Plus program in partnership with the New York State Council on the Arts.

THE F.I.T. PROJECT CHANGE THE WAY YOU VIEW YOURSELF BY CHANGING THE WAY YOU VIEW YOUR FITNESS

By Brad Jarrett Contributing Writer

Beating personal records in the gym is great. It is a testament to and product of the work, sweat and time we put into our bodies.

Improving our physical appearance is even better! Photo shoot for Muscle & Fitness Magazine here we come!!

This type of improvement gives us tangible evidence, which stays with us as a badge; a medal of honor. Worn with pride as proof we have what it takes to create change within ourselves.

Both of these accomplishments are special,

noteworthy, and should be celebrated. But they are also superficial.

They can be void of true meaning. For the most part, bringing benefit only to ourselves.

Our fitness can be more.

It can SERVE greater intentions.

Fitness has the ability to fulfi ll goals that are larger than self. Beyond

YOU and I. We have SEEN it. We have FELT it. We have been MOVED by it.

As we watch fitness forge a relationship between strangers that will eventually grow into a lifelong bond we SEE a glimpse of its potential.

While we witness hundreds of people come together during a 10k or charity event,

sacrificing their bodies to benefit a child with cancer, or a mother with Alzheimer’s we FEEL its influence.

And once we surrender ourselves for the edifying of others THEY are MOVED by its power. And in return we receive more than imaginable.

Physical accomplishment shouldn’t be our driver; it is only a vehicle. It’s the spirit’s

way to use our body for greater good.

This means SPIRIT is the driving force. The FIRE within. And the inspiration to accomplish goals larger than self while sacrificing your physical body.

Once fitness is led by the Spirit, we are transformed. Our minds are renewed. We stop thinking of how this CONTINUED ON PAGE 23

Physical Activity & Fitness Guidelines inactive is detrimental.

A sedentary lifestyle leads to many health problems with the good news being that any activity is better than none.

The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans also recommends

By Tonja Dodd the average healthy Contributing Writer adult strive for 2 1/2 hours a week of physical activity. Anyway Last week I discussed you want it. To gain three primary principles that will help you health benefits, this physical activity should stay active: be at a moderate pace 1. Do it for you like walking fast. It exercising should be a priority in your life for could also be activities like dancing and rakyou ing leaves. If you use 2. Make it enjoyable a device like a pedom- find activities that are eter, other wearable or fun track your work-outs with a phone app 3. Make exercise strive for activities that convenient - create are at a pace under 3 opportunities to be active throughout your miles an hour and/or at 40 - 59% of your max day. heart rate. Performing Today, I would like moderate-level activity to tack on one more 10 minutes at a time, as guidepost - listen to long as you reach the the science. The science tells us that being total of 2 1/2 hours a week is beneficial.

You can also gain health benefits by performing 75 minutes of vigorous activity in a week for instance jogging at or under a 10-minute mile pace or at 60 - 85% of your max heart rate. Or do a combination of moderate and vigorous activities. The table above gives you more examples as a guide.

Another key guideline for Americans is to do strength training exercises at least 2 days a week. Typical exercise like lifting weights, working out at the gym on the weight ma-

chines, working with exercise bands, doing push-ups and pullups and other manual weight bearing exercises all count.

There is strong evidence showing if you meet these recommendations you will reap substantial health benefits - you will improve your mood and sleep quality, reduce your risk for depression; control your weight; improve bone health and reduce risk of falls and injuries; reduce your risk for chronic diseases like obesity, colon cancer, breast

cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke and heart disease and if you have those conditions, they will be better controlled.

Going beyond the 2 1/2 hours a week and in fact up to 300 minutes or more will give you additional benefits.

The old FIT guideline still holds true. Increasing the Frequency, Intensity or Time of your activity provides more fitness benefits. If you exercise three times a week, bump that up to four - the frequency of your exercise bouts has increased.To increase

the intensity, go from walking one mile in 20 minutes, to a 15-minute mile pace or, add in hills to your routine.

And finally if you walk 30 minutes every time you go for a walk, add 10 minutes to each outing to increase the time you exercise. Increasing any or all of these levers matters - you will burn more calories, get your heart and lungs pumping more, stress your muscles more and in turn improve your fitness.

Understanding Alcohol and Alcoholism

Contributed Article WCA Hospital

According to the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, alcohol is the most commonly used addictive substance in the United States - 17.6 million people, or one in every 12 adults, suffer from alcohol abuse or dependence along with several million more who engage in risky, binge drinking patterns that could lead to alcohol problems. More than half of all adults have a family history of alcoholism or problem drinking, and more than 7 million children live in a household where at least one parent is dependent on or has abused alcohol.

Yet, for many people, the facts about alcohol and alcoholism are not clear.

Andrew O’Brien, CASAC, WCA Hospital Director of Chemical Dependency for more than 25 years, says alcohol misuse has the potential to damage almost every organ in the body. “Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant that is rapidly absorbed from the stomach and small intestine into the bloodstream. Alcohol is metabolized in the liver by enzymes.

However, the liver can only metabolize a small amount of alcohol at a time, leaving the excess alcohol to circulate throughout the body. The intensity of the effect of alcohol on the body is directly related to the amount of alcohol that a person consumes. Not everyone reacts the same way to the effects of alcohol. Men react different than women. The amount of food that somee one consumes before drinking, how quickly alcohol is consumed, and the physical condition of the individual, alters how alcohol is metabolized and

absorbed into the blood stream.”

Over time, excessive alcohol use, both in the form of heavy drinking or binge drinking, can lead to numerous health problems, chronic diseases, neurological impairments and social problems, including but not limited to: • Dementia, stroke and neuropathy • Cardiovascular problems, including myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, atrial fibrillation and hypertension • Psychiatric problems, including depression, anxiety, and suicide • Social problems, including unemployment, lost productivity, family problems, violence including child maltreatment, fights and homicide • Unintentional injuries, such as motor-vehicle traffic crashes, falls, drowning, burns and firearm injuries.

• Increased risk for many kinds of cancers, including liver, mouth, throat, larynx (voice box) and esophagus • Liver diseases, including fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, cirrhosis • Gastrointestinal problems, including pancreatitis and gastritis • Alcohol abuse or dependence – alcoholism.

24 Hour Help Is Available If you or a loved one is drinking to excess, there is help. Don’t fight it alone. Several tools may be used to detect a loss of control of alcohol use.

Talk to you doctor about your personal drinking behavior and ask for help if you need it.

The chemical dependency professionals at WCA Hospital can help. Hope and help is only a telephone call away; call 664-8620, available 24 hours a day.

For the federal guidelines on the use of alcohol consumption, go the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for http://www.drinkinmoderation.org/federal-dietaryguidelines-on-alcohol-consumption/. The website provides evidence-based nutrition information and guidance to help Americans make healthier choices on alcohol consumption. Spread the word about strategies for preventing alcohol. Get involved - support a community forum or join a local support group whose mission is to prevent adult and underage drinking.

Brooks Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation A HIDDEN GEM IN SPORTS MEDICINE

Tammy Kiszak, PT; Donna Heister; Kristen Wallace, DPT

Contributed Article Brooks Memorial Hospital

Donna Heister, a Silver Creek resident, stands for much of her day working as a hairdresser, a vocation she has enjoyed for __ years. Last year, chronic back pain associated with scoliosis and rheumatoid arthritis left her in a physically and emotionally fragile state. With the condition becoming progressively worse, Donna could no longer stand up straight and required the assistance of a cane for balance and mobility. Even more disheartening than the physical discomfort, however, was the prospect that she might no longer have the ability to interact with 17 grandchildren

the way she enjoyed. Donna required surgery for restoration back to health and wellness.

After having orthopedic surgery, Donna began receiving Physical Therapy (PT) services at Brooks. Often called “a hidden gem” by healthcare providers in the area, Brooks offers both inpatient and outpatient PT for all ages.

“After surgery, I couldn’t eat. I was weak and thin. I had a port in my arm for infusions and had difficulty moving”, Donna states. “There were days when I became really discouraged, but my physical therapy team wouldn’t let that happen. They made therapy fun and interesting, with lots of encouragement and support. They told me to keep trying and not to get discouraged. If I missed an appointment, they would

always call to make sure I was okay. It’s almost like having family. They’re a fantastic group”, she adds.

Brooks has a large inpatient PT population, particularly with orthopedic surgery patients, but also a robust outpatient service offering for those having orthopedic, neurologic, vestibular (balance-related) and sports medicine needs. New, patient-friendly extended hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 7:30 am – 4:30 pm; Tuesday and Thursday from 7:30 am- 6:00 pm and Saturday 8:00am-11:00am (Inpatient only).

When the spirit leads, we are ignited. The fire on the inside burns BRIGHTLY. Enabling us to keep pushing on mile 5; for the child who only wishes he could take the steps we are taking. Or the mother who would give all she has to enjoy the feeling of crossing another finish line.

Our spirit keeps us moving and serving when the body says it has no more.

The impact THIS type of fitness has is profound. While serving others, the END is only the BEGINNING. The final step of a 10k is the birth of lifelong memories that will coincide. For the ones you serve, and for yourself.

Fitness used in this way creates a paradigm shift. We start to view ourselves differently as we look in the mirror, and no longer gaze through the lens society has placed over our eyes. All we see staring back at us is a friend, a sibling, and servant to those in need. Now, we are no longer dissatisfied with the person in the mirror. We love our true selves for what we are; the greatest miracle in the world.

Using fitness to make a difference in the lives of others is a goal that stretches beyond the boundaries of physical accomplishment. Remember…

Use your fitness to SERVE today.

MCDONALD’S SENIOR GOLF TOUR READY FOR 12TH SEASON

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

The McDonald’s Senior Golf Tour officially kicked off its 12th season with a recent meeting and lunch at the Lakewood Rod and Gun Club. Well over 100 members were in attendance.

The league has been going strong for years now, but at one time it was just a thought in one man’s head.

“I started it,” league president Art Asquith said. “I had thought about it for about five years. Then one day I just decided to try it. I got a committee of some of my friends together. Then I started calling courses. Once Chautauqua got involved, it gave the league legitimacy.”

The league plays every Monday from April 27 at Point Chautauqua Golf Course until the finale on Sept. 5 at Pine Acres. Each week is at a different course throughout Western New York and Northern Pennsylvania.

“The first year we had about 12-16 courses,” Asquith added. “It took off from there. The next year we had about 60-some guys. The next year we were at 92. At one time we had 170 guys. Right now we’re probably around 150, but we take 120-140 everywhere we go. It’s the best President of the McDonald's Senior Golf Tour Art Asquith deal in town.” addresses the members at the recent meeting at the In addition to playing courses all throughout the area, Lakewood Rod and Gun Club to kick off the season.

the league also draws golfers all the way from Angola to Corry, Pa. With so many golfers, you’re bound to encounter players of all skill levels. Luckily, the league breaks up golfers into a number of fl ights so that you’re always matched up against similarly-skilled players.

“It’s a lot of fun,” one member chimed in. “Everybody gets along really well. We have different calibers of golf.

I’m not actually playing against an A golfer, even if they’re in my foursome. I don’t necessarily care what guys in my foursome are doing. It’s great to play courses all over the area and you can’t beat the price.”

While it’s mostly for bragging rights, the league does have a hole-in-one pot every year. Not only that, but a hole-inCONTINUED ON PG 32

The Most Irrelevant Sports Teams (Pt. 2)

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

Editor’s note: This is Part 2 of a four-part series. Last week was the National Football League edition.

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, MAY 1, 2015

COMMENTARY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 26 I was driving with a friend the other day when talk of Phillip Rivers getting traded to the Tennessee Titans came up on sports radio.

That got us thinking: Which team is the most irrelevant in each of the four major sports? The Titans have to have a good claim, no?

There are theoretically worse teams, but is there a team that matters less to the casual NFL fan?

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

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

The candidates: NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE Florida Panthers: Yes, the Florida Panthers are still a professional hockey team. Not that even people in the state of Florida care.

Have you seen their arena?

It borders on sad how empty it is on a nightly basis. Not only were the Panthers dead last in attendance this past season, but they averaged 1,200 people less per game than the 29th ranked team.

In fact, the Panthers haven’t been better than the bottom third of the league in attendance since 2005, when they were a robust 19th in attendance. The Panthers haven’t won a playoff series in 18 years. That’s the second-longest drought in the NHL. They’ve played in one Stanley Cup Finals

(1995-1996 season) but lost.

How many great players has this organization had?

Pavel Bure. Maybe Olli Jokinen. Jay Bouwmeester has a legendary name, but the fact that he’s the team’s best defenseman ever isn’t much to be proud about. If I had to list all 30 NHL teams by memory, there’s a good chance I would either name the Panthers last or forget Florida altogether. Their only claim to fame is being the face of irrelevancy.

Arizona Coyotes: I hate to keep harping the attendance issue, because there’s more to being irrelevant besides attendance. After all, market size has a lot to do with that aspect. But here are the Coyotes’ attendance ranks starting with this season and going back to 2007: 28th, 30th, 29th, 30th, 29th, 30th, 28th, 29th. That’s right. The BEST Arizona (then Phoenix) has done in the past eight years is 28th. If no one who lives there even cares about the team, do you really think the rest of the league cares? They made the playoffs back in 2011-2012 (and

actually advanced to the Western Conference Finals), so it hasn’t been too terribly long, but the team has never made a Stanley Cup Final in its 34 seasons of existence.

Actually, before that 20112012 season, the Panthers had an NHL-record 10 seasons without playoffs. As far as franchise star power goes, Dale Hawerchuk was a monster in the 80s. From the 1981 season to the 1989 season, only Wayne Gretzky, Jari Kurri, Pater Stastny and Denis Savard had more points than Hawerchuk. Of course, that’s back when the franchise was the Winnipeg Jets. Shane Doan has played the most games in franchise history. While perhaps never elite, almost two decades of ‘very good’ makes for an outstanding career. Keith Tkachuk was the team’s best player to span the WinnipegPhoenix transition. Teppo Numinen and Phil Housley were stud defensemen, too.

For a team with so many great individual players, it’s a shame that they’re so incredibly irrelevant now. But they are. There’s no arguing

that.

Editor’s note: Those were the two obvious candidates from the NHL. The rest gets sticky as almost all teams have an immense amount of history…or are from Canada and are therefore relevant to hordes of maple leaf-waving, moose-riding, mountie-obeying, syrup-drinking, poutine-eating residents of the United States’ hat. Hmm…I may not entirely understand Canadian culture.

Carolina Hurricanes: Breaking news! Hockey doesn’t matter south of the Mason Dixon line. It’s tough to say the Hurricanes don’t matter in Buffalo, though, because Sabres fans hate this franchise with a passion thanks to their playoff battles in the mid-2000s. But now it’s been six seasons since the Hurricanes qualified for the playoffs. This is a team that ranked 29th in attendance in 2014-2015, beating out only the Florida Panthers, whom we already discussed in detail.

St. Louis Blues: This seems like a stretch, but this is also the franchise with 46-year history and no Stanley Cup wins. There were three straight seasons in the late 1960s in which this franchise went to the Stanley Cup Finals, but there has yet to be parade for the Blues in St. Louis.

Oddly enough, the Blues share that record of futility with the Toronto Maple Leafs, another franchise that has gone 46 years without raising the Cup. Of course, no team in Canada’s biggest city could ever qualify for this list, but I had to get the Leafs mentioned in here somewhere. As for the Blues, they are generally in the middle of the pack in terms of attendance. They’ve been pretty good recently, having just been eliminated by the

Wild in this year’s postseason, but historically, they’ve been irrelevant.

New York Islanders: This is another big stretch, but again, there aren’t a lot of obvious candidates in a league dripping with history. But the Rangers have always owned New York.

There’s no doubt about that.

The Islanders, however, haven’t won a Stanley Cup since 1982-1983. They made another Stanley Cup Finals the following year, but were defeated. But it’s been a long 30 years since. From 19932001, the Islanders didn’t make the playoffs a single time. With their latest playoff series loss to the Capitals, it’s now been 21 consecutive seasons since the Islanders won a playoff series. There’s history here, but at this point it seems like ancient history.

Columbus Blue Jackets: Here’s yet another team that I wish I didn’t have to put on this list, but I have to put SOMEONE besides the Coyotes and Panthers on here. Since the Blue Jackets have never actually won a playoff series since their inception in 2000, that’s a pretty big deal. A franchise that has only made the playoffs twice ever, well, that’s pretty irrelevant. This is a team that definitely gets some fan support in and around Columbus, but if the Blue Jackets ceased to exist, would a casual NHL fan even notice? Could a casual NHL fan even name five players to ever wear the Blue Jackets sweater? Doubtful.

Be sure to keep checking back in the Chautauqua Star in the coming weeks for the NBA and MLB versions of this article. At the end of last one, I’ll attempt to pick just one from each league.

I decided to be a weak baby and come up short.

My birdie putt had to go all the way across the green, which has multiple breaks in it, but I ended up about four inches from making it. Another tap-in par gave me my first ever par on No. 7.

32 SPORTS Devils Sweep En Route To SUNYAC Play Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.

ONEONTA, N.Y. -- Fredonia went into its weekend series at Oneonta needing to win two of three games to make the 2015 SUNYAC Baseball Tournament.

The Blue Devils did themselves one better Saturday by sweeping the Red Dragons in a doubleheader, 10-5 and 11-8. Fredonia also won the series opener Friday.

As the No. 4 seed, the Blue Devils face a stiff challenge in their opening-round game -- a noon meeting Friday with host Cortland, not only the No. 1 seed in the SUNYAC but also No. 1 in all of NCAA Division III baseball, according to the national coaches poll.

The double-elimination SUNYAC Tournament runs through next Sunday.

For all intents and purposes, the Blue Devils (13-17 overall / 8-10 SUNYAC) nailed down their spot in the conference tourney by winning the fi rst game of Saturday's doubleheader. That eliminated Oneonta and closed out Plattsburgh, the other two teams which went into the weekend seeking the fi nal playoff spot.

SENIOR GOLF TOUR, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 26 one also earns the golfer a hand-crafted golf cart, made by fellow member Mike Rosario.

“I got the hole-in-one over at South Hills last year,” Bob Kaus said. “It was on the 13th hole and I was in the 13th cart. It was the first one of my life.

I’ve been playing golf for about 25 years.”

There was a lot of agreement on what makes this league special — the camaraderie among men with all different backgrounds and stories to tell.

“A lot of guys go early,” league treasurer Jim Rissel noted. “Our tee times are a 9 a.m. shotgun start. A lot of guys will meet up and have breakfast together before they come down and play. Then there’s always socializing after golf. If you have an individual you want to play with, we arrange it so you can go in that foursome. Not every week, though, because we like the idea of playing with other guys. You get to meet people and share stories.”

For those that might be interested in joining the league but aren’t quite sure, Rissel has some advice.

“I would tell them to join as an alternate the first year,” he said. “We try to take 120-140 guy, but there’s always going to be guys that have doctor’s appointments or something and can’t make it. We keep a stable of alternates so that every group has a foursome. We’re helping the golf course and we’re giving individuals another chance to play.

“We have several people that had gotten out of golf altogether because they didn’t want to work at getting a group together on a regular basis,” Rissel continued. “With this, we’ve had individuals come in and say this is the best thing they’ve ever done. The foursomes are already set up and they can just come play golf.

“You show up, you pay a great price and you get golf and a great social event. It’s really a great league.”

FSU Sports Information Dept.

Both teams were making playoff plans following Saturday's SUNYAC softball doubleheader between Fredonia and Buffalo State at Blue Devil Field.

The visiting Bengals left the premises with the momentum that came from a doubleheader sweep over the Blue Devils, 8-3 and 14-8. Buffalo State finished 17-14 overall with a SUNYAC record of 11-7.

Fredonia ended the afternoon knowing that, despite its late season struggles, its fast start to the conference season was beneficial. The Blue Devils came away from the day with a 13-16 mark, yet a 10-8 record in the conference. That, coupled with New Paltz's two losses Saturday to Brockport, earned the Blue Devils with their first playoff berth since 2011.

The six-team tournament starts Thursday morning at SUNY Cortland. The Blue Devils go in as the No. 6 seed, which requires a firstround meeting with the host and No. 1 seed Red Dragons at 9 a.m. Thursday. Buffalo State will be either the No. 4 or No. 5 seed, depending on the outcome of the Brockport at Oneonta game Monday.

Buffalo State's Alexis Haley was the winning pitcher in both games Saturday. She picked up the Game 1 win in relief, then followed up with a complete-game effort in Game 2. On the opposite side of the ledger was Fredonia senior Kelsey Gannett (Endwell, N.Y./UnionEndicott), who started and took the loss in both games.

The Blue Devils never led in either game, yet kept putting runners on base to keep things interesting. Three players had two hits each in

the opener -- freshman Nikki Lent (Yaphank, N.Y./Longwood), and juniors Lindsey Forness (Allegany, N.Y./Allegany-Limestone) and Alyssa Morgan (Homer, N.Y./Homer). Stephanie Novo led the Buffalo State 11-hit attack with a double, two singles, a stolen base, two runs scored, and two RBI. The teams combined for 31 hits in Game 2 -- 18

by Buffalo State, 13 by the Blue Devils. Fredonia freshman Katelyn Dennis (Webster, N.Y./ Webster Schroeder) was the top hitter for either team with 4 for 4, including her first collegiate home run, a three-run line shot to center in the fifth inning. Forness and Morgan each two more hits again. For Buffalo State, Novo had three hits, including a homer, and three RBI,

Kate Brownell also had three hits, and Taylor Swiatek scored four runs.

Saturday was also Senior Day with all 11 seniors -- six from Buffalo State and five from Fredonia -- earning pre-game recognition. In addiition to Gannett, the quintet of Blue Devils recognized were Kaitlyn Crossan (Dunkirk, N.Y./Dunkirk), Cherise Gunnell (Falconer, N.Y./Falconer), Jess Lauck (Buffalo, N.Y./Kenmore West), and Kate Nicholson (Heuvelton, N.Y./Heuvelton). They, like all their teammates, will be participating in the SUNYAC Tournament for the first time next week.

Jamestown Hurricane Will Tip Off In November Contributed Article Jamestown Hurricane

The former Erie Hurricane professional team has officially moved to Jamestown, NY to become the Jamestown Hurricane. The Hurricane will participate in the American Basketball Association. The season tips off November 2015.

Maceo Wofford, native of Jamestown, NY, will be the only Hurricane returning to the team this season.

“We are looking for local talent from the Dunkirk, Fredonia, and Jamestown area,” stated owner Tawan Slaughter.

The 2014-2015 season included Fredonia State standout, Tyrone Clark, who recently landed a job with the Harlem Globetrotters.

Throughout the summer the Hurricane organization will secure a venue for their 10 home games for the season.

“We had a great turnout for the three games we hosted at Jamestown High School last season. We are really excited about bringing this city a team of their own to cheer for,” Slaughter added.

The organization prides itself on giving back to the community. It will be providing camps and clinics for the youth, volunteering throughout the community, and much more as the season begins.

“We are looking for interns from the local colleges who are looking for experience in sales, marketing, coaching, merchandising, and more.” Slaughter noted.

Worms, leeches or chicken livers fi shed on the bottom at night, works well for bullhead. Walleye season opens on Saturday, May 2nd.

Inland Trout Fishing The small to medium-sized steams are in good fi shing shape. Some of the larger streams may still be a little high and off color. Chilly water temperatures still inhibit bug hatches. There are some sporadic hatches of blue-winged olives and stonefl ies in the area, and hendrickson hatches should start up soon. Sub-surface nymphs are a good bet at present.

Productive offerings for spinning anglers include worms, salted minnows and small inline spinners. If you are a catch-and-release angler and use spinners, it is a good practice to outfit your spinners with a single hook rather than a treble hook.

Western New York anglers have a variety of Wild Trout Streams and Stocked Trout Streams to choose from. In addition, Public Fishing Rights Maps are available for many of the area's best trout streams.

Check out the Fishing For Stream Trout page for introductory information on trout baits, lures, fi shing equipment and techniques.
