Some of the intangible, but equally important qualifications include being willing to teach life skills, share talents and being motivated to make a difference in the life of a child. Trusso says that foster parents often work very closely with biological parents. And unlike foster care in the past, the number of foster care homes a child is placed in is limited. “We want to keep the moves as limited as possible”, says Coughlin, because each disruption in a child’s life makes them relive the trauma. “Keeping siblings together is also important, since the kids are already suffering a huge loss.” According to Trusso, GA’s therapeutic foster care is a different than a basic foster care program.

Crossroads Market enters fifteenth year

By Mallory Diefenbach Star News Writer

On Saturday, May 5, Crossroads Market opened up its doors for the fifteenth time. The Cross Roads is a small market which has dozens of different vendors, all of which who sell goods which are creative and have a high standard of quality. From food vendors to furniture to pottery, there is something for everybody. The Cross Roads Market is a small business incubator unique to Chautauqua County. It is situated near the spot of the original county settlement along the Portage Trail connecting Lake Chautauqua and Lake Erie. According to the Cross Roads website, Cross Roads originally started in 1996, when members of the Co-op cleared the land, erected two 65 x 100-foot steel buildings and a stateof-the-art, environmentally sensitive restroom facility. A decade later they opened a third building to accommodate their growing businesses. And the Cross Roads is still growing even now; a new vendor by the name of Marlene Coletta of Mar-Co Gifts has joined the Cross Roads family. According to Mark Pouthier, the

manager of the Cross Roads Market, she will be selling porcelain and vinyl dolls, dream catchers, poly-resin animals and one of a kind animal salt and pepper shakers amongst many more gift items. In addition to having unique ven-

Chautauqua Star Named As Official Newspaper of Bemus Bay Pops

By The Chautauqua Star Staff Organizers of the Bemus Bay Pops concert series are pleased to name the Chautauqua Star as the official newspaper of the Pops. The new partnership is one that promises to bring deserving light to an entertainment venue that has a significant economic and cultural impact on Chautauqua County. “This is an exciting opportunity for everyone involved. Not only will we be able to promote the Bemus Bay Pops to local residents and visitors throughout the summer, but we will also bring added value to the sponsors of the organization and the businesses located in Bemus Point.” said Larry Beasley, President and COO of Star Media Group. “The purpose of the Chautauqua Star is to promote the positive news and events happening throughout Chautauqua County and our partnership with the Pops helps us to accomplish that mission.” Dan Dalpra, founder and CEO of the Bemus Bay Pops, affirms

that the partnership is one that will be a productive relationship to both sides. “The ability to partner with the Chautauqua Star who publishes such a quality newspaper provides the Bemus Bay Pops with a stellar communication information tool to inform the entire region of its community wide program. This partnership will help the Pops improve its continual mission of “Bringing the Arts to the people”,” said Dalpra. “The need for a first rate newspaper like the Chautauqua Star to represent the Pops that truly communicates with the community was a major reason for this great collaboration that will benefit everyone,” says Michelle Turner, Director of Communications & Development for the Bemus Bay Pops. Throughout the summer, the Pops, which will kick off its 2012 season on June 24, presents one of the highest attended and most popular attractions in the county. As a product of the partnership, the Chautauqua Star will publish three special inserts throughout the summer. These special

The second annual Chautauqua in June learning festival, May 25 – June 17, 2012, is seasoned with culinary experiences and workshops including farm tours, winemaker’s and beer pairing dinners, culinary classes and tea tastings. Chautauqua County in southwestern New York State boasts the largest number of farms in the state as well as the largest grape growing region in the eastern United States. Culinary experiences are a special treat during the second annual Chautauqua in June learning festival. Experiences offered range from a two hour workshop learning how seasonings affect the taste of wine to a two day wine appreciation boot camp covering the process of planting vines through bottling and labeling wine. Local farmers, winemakers, brew masters, and chefs will roll out the welcome mat to teach participants about local foods, wines, brews, and the Farm to Table movement in Chautauqua County. At the historic Athenaeum Hotel in Chautauqua Institution, Executive Chef Ross Warhol is bringing awareness to the Farm to Table movement and providing enjoyable yet educational culinary experiences through a series of dinners and workshops. During Chautauqua in June, Chef Warhol and other Culinary Institute of America trained chefs will bring students through the Farm to Table culinary process, literally from gathering ingredients at local farms to sitting down to a formal five course meal in the hotel’s parlor. The two-day experience includes a farm sourcing and foraging tour with lunch, a hands-on culinary class with dinner, and the Farm to Table Dinner event. Located in southwestern New York State, Chautauqua County is a diverse agricultural county, whose agricultural profile consists primarily of dairy farms and Concord grape vineyards, followed by the production of wine grapes, meat from livestock operations, tree fruits and vegetables. Chautauqua County has the greatest number of farms in New York State, according to the 2007 Census of Agriculture. Virginia Carlberg at Cornell Cooperative Extension explains that the average size of a farm in Chautauqua County is only 142 acres, which means that the county is home to many small family farms, many of which sell their agricultural products directly to the community through farm stands and farmers markets. These farms and their products are an important part of the culinary workshops during Chautauqua in June. More than 85 farm markets in the region annually offer locally grown produce, cheeses, meat, and maple products and the opportunity to create sumptuous meals that are sourced in western New

York. Local chefs and markets have utilized this growing region to create culinary specialties like great grape syrups and vinaigrettes and at least one local grape producer is producing oil from its grapes. In addition to the Farm to Table experiences at the Athenaeum Hotel, Green Heron Growers in Sherman will offer a half-day workshop focusing on how to grow mushrooms, especially Shitake mushrooms, during Fun with Fungus. Participants will take their own mushroom log home and enjoy a Shiitake pizza lunch. Along Lake Erie, a narrow escarpment uniquely suited to growing grapes has sustained the grape and wine industry for nearly two centuries, making this the world’s oldest and largest Concord grape growing region and the largest grape growing region in the United States outside of California. Today, 23 wineries offer tours and tastings from Silver Creek, NY to Northeast, PA and several will provide special learning experiences during the June festival. 21 Brix Winery, the newest stop in Lake Erie’s wine country, will offer two workshops during Chautauqua in June. Learn how a Riesling changes when you eat something salty, or sweet, during Wine & Seasonings Tasting. Participants will take home their own dry, red wine blend creation with Create Your Own Wine Blend. Merritt Estate Winery, one of the region’s oldest wineries, will offer a Wine Tasting Primer: Starting at the Top with owners William and Jason Merritt who have more than 30 years of experience in the industry. Johnson Estate Winery, Liberty Vineyards, and Cabana Sam’s Sunset Bay Gill will each offer wine pairing dinners in addition to other workshops such as Sunday Morning Vineyard Walks; How to Make Pesto; a Grape Growing, Wine Making & Appreciation Boot Camp; and a “Cocktails” Bartending Class. This is the second year of offering workshops for all three organizations. Of the 2011 wine pairing dinner, Jennifer Johnson of Johnson Estate Winery in Westfield exclaimed, “That is the part that made our events so enjoyable - the willingness of people, who were essentially strangers, to enjoy the moment and to embrace the opportunity to share a special meal, planned and prepared by the winemaker and chef, in a very relaxed way.”

Not to be outdone by the wineries, Southern Tier Brewing Company and Ellicottville Brewing Company in Fredonia will offer beer tasting and brewing experiences. Be a Brewer for a Day during a very hands-on experience at Southern Tier’s brewing facilities in Lakewood. The local brewery is offering a second workshop option after the first date sold out in mid-April. EBC’s brewer, Dan Minner, will focus more on the history of brewing, different beer styles and how they pair with food during a Beer Pairing Dinner on June 7. While not a local food, teas tastings have also become popular in Chautauqua County. Learn the nuances and culture of tea tasting at Lana’s the Little House or partake in an afternoon tea at the Cherry Creek Inn. Afternoon tea tastings and luncheons will continue throughout the summer on Saturday afternoons on the porch of the Athenaeum Hotel in Chautauqua Institution. Starting this month, farmers markets in Westfield, Fredonia, Sherman, and Jamestown will begin their weekly schedules, making regionally grown foods available in central locations. Voted in the top 10 Farmers Markets in the country in 2009 by American Farmland Trust, the Westfield Farmers Market is a New York Producers certified market, meaning that meats, produce and goods offered are regionally grown or made and fresh from the farm. Items for sale include Amish woven baskets, woodcraft, handmade soaps, jams, jellies and other canned items, and local wineries are showcased each week. Summer festivals featuring locally grown foods include Pesto Festo at Barlow’s Mill in Fredonia, a culinary event that celebrates the Italian heritage of the Lake Erie Concord Grape Belt. Chautauqua in June is a three week learning festival, May 25 – June 17, 2012, with classes and workshops held in both indoor and outdoor classrooms across Chautauqua County, NY. The region is historically known as a destination for leisure learning, summer camps and workshops. Participants can register for workshops online or request a program guide at www.tourchautauqua.com or by calling the Chautauqua County Visitors Bureau at 1-866-908-4569.

Dear Pastor, is God in charge of everything? God of the devil’s device and called it worship. We thought God was the author of the test and we considered it faithfulness to endure. All the while we insulted God’s character. There was a point in time when Christians adopted this idea because it was easier to say that God was behind the destruction to make people feel better about why bad things happened to them. We replaced faith with sympathy and in the end neither was accomplished. We should have said, “There is hope because there is a God who can only produce good.” We should have said, “What the devil meant for evil, God can make it good. (Gen 50:20) It will turn. It must turn because your Father is always good.” We didn’t say that and the faith of the generations was fatally wounded. Did you notice the question that you were asked in Romans 8:31? The question was, “What shall we say to these things?” What are you saying about God’s goodness? I dare you to admit God’s good will toward you. As you pray, thank God for having good thoughts towards you. Draw near as you realize: God is for you!

It’s hard for our finite minds to grasp the magnitude of God’s qualities. The Bible says we can only partially know the mind of God and His thoughts and capabilities. When most people refer to the sovereignty of God, it is in the context of actions that By Rev.

free will (Genesis 1:26). This gives us the power to make choices outside of the direct intervention or will of God. God gave us free will in order that we make the choice to come to Him, accept salvation and love Him willingly. Due to the nature of free will, most of what we experience in life has more to do with our choices and not God’s interaction. This can be difficult for many individuals to accept because it is easier to place the blame on God rather than on our own actions. Why does this happen? Because people think that because God CAN do something…that He has the authority to do it! But God set up a system where even He couldn’t violate our free-will. The Bible tells us that God desires that ALL people come to accept Him as Lord and Savior. But some people choose NOT to accept Him out of free-will. God does not have the authority or permission to make these people accept Him.

Edgewood Communities to Host Seminar “Medicare 101” Contributed Article Edgewood Communities

Edgewood Communities will host its second seminar in their Best of Times Series entitled Preparing for the Big “M” – Medicare 101. The community is invited to Warner Place, Aldren Avenue, on the Lutheran Campus, Wednesday, May 16 at 6:30 p.m. Janell Sluga, Certified Geriatric Care Manager for the Senior Life Matters program will be the presenter. Reservations are not necessary. The program will begin with the very basics of what Medicare is and how it works and then cover how to wade through all the information to determine what applies and what doesn’t. “People are barraged with information from Medicare and other sources,” Mrs. Sluga said. “Some of it is legitimate and some of it isn’t. The vocabulary can be very confusing and overwhelming.

We’ll cover these topics in the seminar.” She suggests that people begin learning about Medicare as early as the age of 60. The seminar will also be helpful for caregivers who are responsible for making Medicare decisions and who need guidance. “Insurance can be intimidating and scary,” Mrs. Sluga added. “There are so many options to choose from that if people don’t know the best choice for their situation, it can have a huge financial impact.” Edgewood Communities is part of Lutheran Senior Housing and is located on the Lutheran Campus off Falconer Street in Jamestown. Units include one and two bedroom apartments, duplex homes and the new Smartment® Building. For more information about the seminar or Lutheran Housing, call 720-9122 or log onto www.lutheran-jamestown.org/ senior-housing.

Expandim. ing access to fresh food in underserved communities has been shown to both improve nutrition and lower costs related to obesity and diet-re-

lated disease, while also fostering community and economic development. Governor Cuomo launched the FreshConnect program last year to create new farmers’ markets and support existing markets that provided fresh produce to high-need areas. With this round of funding, the program will have helped a total of 48 projects throughout the state bring New York farm products to communities in need. The Governor expanded the FreshConnect Program this year to support not only farmers’ markets, but other creative solutions to improve access to fresh, locally produced food by low-income or underserved communities. As a result, the program received over 121 proposals and is providing funding to the top projects that exhibit local innovative solutions to connect communities in need with New York farm products. Examples of funded projects include: · Farmers’ markets and youthoperated farm stands that will

be coordinating a local food donation program to connect food pantries or food banks with New York farm products, as part of their funded project. All FreshConnect projects will accept Food Stamps, if applicable, and are encouraged to accept Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Fruit & Vegetable Checks, Farmers' Market Nutrition Program coupons, and Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition coupons, to ensure that all citizens have access to fresh fruits and vegetables, regardless of income. be created or expanded to bet- incentives · Free transportation ter serve low-income residents services to help increase traffic The FreshConnect program will also support the continuat existing markets and allow in food deserts · Subsidized ation of its flagship market, those with limited resources Community Supported Agrithe 125th Street FreshConnect an opportunity to attend and culture (CSA) shares or lowFarmers’ Market, located at the shop at a farmers’ market · income CSA programs that Adam Clayton Powell Jr. New Improving distribution of will introduce over 100 new York State Office Building in locally grown, fresh food to families to weekly deliveries Central Harlem.

New York State Agriculture Commissioner Darrel J. Aubertine said, "Like the crops we harvest, the FreshConnect projects Governor Cuomo is awarding today are born from the ground up and are a true reflection of the need and interest at the local level to help better connect fresh and healthy food from New York farmers with those in rural and urban areas that lack access." The FreshConnect program is administered through a partnership between the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, Empire State Development, and the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance.

ways. First, the plans provide an option for medium and large employers who don’t currently provide coverage to avoid federal penalties that loom in a couple of years. And they could also help some employers escape a new tax on high-cost ``Cadillac’’ health insurance. For consumers, there are other considerations: Premiums for traditional insurance could rise if the new plans lure away people in good health. Also, workers with chronic conditions may find that high-deductible plans put more strain on family budgets. Published in the journal Health Affairs, the study analyzed medical claims data from 59 large U.S. employers, most of which offered the choice of a consumer-directed plan. Crunching that information, researchers estimated that employers overall could reduce their health care costs by 7 percent if half of American workers were to enroll in the plans. National savings would total $57 billion annually, potentially allowing employers to pay higher wages or hire more workers.

Researchers Find Blood Flow to Women’s Hearts Doesn’t Increase in Face of Stress

By Kathleen Doheny WebMD Health News Coping with mental stress may be harder on a woman’s heart than a man’s, according to new research. Men and women given the same stressful math problem all had an increase in blood pressure and heart rate while solving it, as expected, says researcher Chester Ray, PhD, professor of medicine and cellular and molecular physiology at Penn State’s College of Medicine in Hershey. Normally, when heart rate and blood pressure rise, blood flow to the heart muscle increases so it can work harder, Ray says. “However, in this case, even though the work of the heart went up, the blood flow to the heart did not go up in women, like in the men,” he tells WebMD. The difference might explain why women are more likely than men to have heart problems after emotional upset, such as the loss of a partner, Ray says. Ray is due to present his findings at the Experimental Biology 2012 meeting in San Diego. Mental Stress and Your Heart Ray gave the math problem to nine men and eight women. “They were young, healthy people,” he tells WebMD. Most were in their early 20s. His team measured blood

pressure and heart rate. They also used a special ultrasound to measure blood flow to the heart muscle. They did the tests before, during, and after the three-minute math problem. The men and women had to keep subtracting seven from a random number. To increase the mental stress, the researchers urged the men and women to hurry. They initially told them an answer wasn’t right when it was. Before doing the math problem, men and women did not have many differences in the three tests. However, once the stress set in, men showed an increase in blood flow to the heart. Women overall did not. “It shows women may be more susceptible to experiencing a cardiac event with mental stress compared to men,” Ray says. Next, Ray wants to focus on what accounts for the differences. Meanwhile, he says: “Stress reduction is important for everyone. I think this suggests women really have to be careful with stress.” This study was presented at a medical conference. The findings should be considered preliminary, as they have not yet undergone the “peer review” process, in which outside experts scrutinize the data prior to publication in a medical journal.

THE WHOLE SHA-BANG features a wide variety of seafood dishes that are sauced and seasoned with an Asian flair. Guests can enjoy seafood reciuce pes not found anywhere else in er- Chautauqua County and BBQ kers dishes as well. In addition to traditional fair like steaks, ribs and $57veggies there are a number of al- BBQ seafood dishes to try too. her Thus far, Arian has come up with homemade sauces to top his dishes with. They include an

Zen oyster sauce. “I love to grill and I love seafood so I want to share that with everybody,” said Arian. “People always ask me to cook the things I like for them too. Everything I cook is grilled, steamed or stir fried so it is good for you.” The dishes are also good for guests because the produce is sourced locally from Brigiotta’s of Jamestown. So, guests know where their food is coming from and that it is as fresh as possible. The seafood will also be freshly prepared so that guests can expect high quality and consistency every time they sit down for a meal. One of the dishes that is sure to impress guests is the Surf and Turf steak and lobster.

The idea is to get families to sit down for a large, delicious, freshly prepared meal where the table is filled with plates of food and everyone shares. Guests will also have the choice of making the experience either an indoor or outdoor one. The grill will be located outside where guests will be able to sit and smell their food being cooked. “It’s called THE WHOLE SHA-BANG because guests get involved by seeing it, smelling it and tasting it,” said Arian. “It’s an Asian style of restaurant where everyone gets to share, associate and it brings everybody together.” THE WHOLE SHA-BANG Seafood Restaurant is located at the Red Brick Farm, 5031 West Lake Road in Mayville and opens seven days a week at 11 a.m. Ivori of The Patio Cafe and Lakeside Thai has another business called Painted Petals that is no longer located at the Red Brick Farm. So, if guests want to check out the beautiful flower decorations they should stop by Main Street in Findley Lake.

Your Retirement Is Deﬁnitely Worth Planning For You’ve heard it said before: Timing is everything. Especially when it comes to starting your Social Security benefits. More than 90% of working Americans are counting on Social Security to replace part of their current incomes when they retire, but the truth is the majority of those already drawing benefits receive permanently reduced amounts due to ill-informed timing decisions. In fact, many Americans fail to take into account the true impact of factors such as age, job status, taxes and marital status when deciding when to start receiving benefits. And that can prove to be a costly mistake. Don’t make the same mistakes other retirees make. It could mean leaving money on the table at a time when you’ll need it most. That’s why it’s important to develop a strategy to maximize your household Social Security benefits and enhance your overall retirement income plan. After all, a little planning now can go a long way – and in this case, we’re talking a lifetime.

Infinity 2012 Spring Showcase is May 19 in Downtown Jamestown Annual event to feature artwork, music from students throughout Chautauqua Region

Contributed Article Infinity Visual and Performing Arts Center

Some of the best young singers and musicians the area has to offer will put their talent on display later this month in downtown Jamestown. On Saturday, May 19, Infinity Visual and Performing Arts will present its annual Spring Showcase, with events taking place at both the Infinity Center and across the street at the Reg Lenna Civic Center. “Infinity’s annual Spring Showcase is a celebration of kids and the arts,” explains Shane Hawkins, Infinity executive director. “The event helps to counter all the negative stories you might hear about kids and teens and their actions. There are so many children in our community that are doing excellent and creative things with their time and we want to celebrate that and give them the positive feedback that they deserve. This event helps to literally showcase all that they do and achieve.” Starting at 5:30 p.m., there will be a student art show and open house at the Infinity Center at 115 East Third Street in Jamestown. The event will allow families and residents an opportunity to see some of the visual artwork students have been working on throughout the year. Visitors will also be invited to tour the facility and learn more about the program. The open house will also serve as the final opportunity for people to buy tickets for a chance to win one of three gift baskets, with the prizes being

restaurant gift certificates, a Kindle Fire©, or cash. Tickets are five dollars apiece or four for just ten dollars. Infinity’s annual Spring Music Showcase will begin at 7 p.m. at the Reg Lenna Civic Center, with performances from all student bands and soloists. Members of the Unexpected Guests, Jamestown’s improv comedy troupe, will once again host the event. The cost to attend the music showcase is six dollars for adults (five dollars presale), although there is no cost for anyone who is under the age of 18. Hawkins hopes this will encourage more youth throughout the area to stop by and see what Infinity is all about. “We make it free for children because we want other kids to see what people their own age are accomplishing and we want them to get inspired. We wanted to make it affordable for whole families to attend and increase the number of children in the audience. We hope a lot of people – even those not directly involved with Infinity – will take some time out of the weekend and take advantage of this opportunity.” In addition to the scheduled entertainment, a special announcement will also take place during the open house, one that organizers hope will help Infinity fulfill its mission of providing quality and affordable arts education to the youth throughout the Chautauqua Region. “The Infinity staff and our board of directors have been

working on a plan that we hope will go a long way keeping Infinity on its current path of success,” explains Hawkins. “I don’t want to give away too many details, but I will say it’s a project that will involve the support of all members of the community and help to bring Infinity to the next level, in terms of arts education throughout the region.” The 2012 Infinity Spring Showcase is sponsored by: Jamestown Community College, Jamestown Advanced Products, The Blue Heron Music Festival, Trinity Guitars, Doc and Bill, Jamestown Convenience Care, Jennifer and Paul Liuzzo, Rhoe B. Henderson Insurance, Honest Johns Restaurant, Indulge Salon Spa, Jamestown Pediatrics, Jones Bakery, The Labyrinth Press Co. and Rick Sandberg Electrician. For more information about either the Infinity Spring Music Showcase or the Art Show and Open House, call Infinity at 664-0991. Presale tickets for the showcase can also be purchased at the Reg Lenna Box Office at 716-484-7070. About Infinity Infinity Visual and Performing Arts, Inc. is dedicated to building the resiliency of our community’s youth by providing unique opportunity through access to the arts.

“Parents Who Host”

CASAC Sends a Local Message About Underage Drinking Contributed Article Chautauqua Alcoholism & Substance Abuse Council

Locally, Chautauqua Alcoholism & Substance Abuse Council (CASAC) and the Chautauqua County Underage Drinking Task Force have partnered to promote awareness of the lifesaving laws that protect our youth from alcohol. The “Parents Who Host, Lose The Most: Don’t be a party to teenage drinking campaign message developed by the Drug-Free Action Alliance, aims to provide parents with accurate information about the health risks of underage drinking and the legal consequences of providing alcohol to youth. The “Parents Who Host, Lose The Most: Don’t be a party to teenage drinking campaign message is focused toward prom and graduation parties. Parents play a major role in their children’s choices about alcohol, tobacco or other drugs. In a recent national survey of parents and teens by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University,

one-third of teen partygoers have been to parties where teens were drinking alcohol, smoking pot, or using cocaine, Ecstasy or prescription drugs while a parent was present. In a Chautauqua County survey conducted by CASAC in 2011, 30.6% of 11th graders and 40.9 % of 12 graders indicated they had used alcohol in the past 30 days; 25.2% of 11 and 12 graders had participated in binge drinking; and 68.6% of students surveyed think there is little or no risk associated with using alcohol Also, a majority of teens surveyed said that it is generally easy for underage youth to get alcohol. “Scientific research shows the serious and damaging effects of alcohol on the developing brain of youth under the age of 21,” says Patricia Z. Munson, Executive Director of CASAC. “This campaign educates parents about the laws and safety risks involved in underage drinking parties, and encourages a unified message that teen alcohol consumption is unhealthy, unsafe and unacceptable.”

Adolescence can be a wonderful time filled with physical and emotional growth. For some, however, adolescence takes a dark turn, especially when underage alcohol use is involved. Underage drinking is a leading contributor to death from injuries, which are the main cause of death for people under age 21. Annually, about 5,000 people under age 21 die from alcohol-related injuries involving underage drinking. About 1,900 (38 %) of the 5,000 deaths involve motor vehicle crashes, about 1,600 (32 %) result from homicides, and about 300 (6 %) result from suicides.1 Underage alcohol use increases the risk of academic failure, illicit drug use, and tobacco use. It can cause a range of physical consequences, from hangovers to death from alcohol poisoning. It can cause alterations in the structure and function of the developing brain, which continues to mature into the mid to late 20s, and may have consequences reaching far beyond adolescence.3 Since 1974, Chautauqua Al-

coholism & Substance Abuse Council (CASAC), a not-forprofit United Way supported agency, has been dedicated to providing prevention education and community awareness pertaining to alcohol, other drugs and related high-risk behaviors. CASAC is the only New York State Office of Alcoholism & Substance Abuse Services (OASAS) approved and supported alcohol and other drug prevention agency in Chautauqua County. CASAC is one of forty community based councils across the state and one of over two-hundred nationwide. For further information about CASAC programs and services, call the Jamestown office at 664-3608, the Dunkirk office at 366-4623, or go to CASAC’s website, www.casacweb.org.

Tech Training 101 By Scott Wise Staff Writer

The world is slowly but surely digitizing with each passing day. In an effort to bring everyone up to speed on all things technological, we are beginning a weekly column called ‘Tech Training 101’ where the Chautauqua Star’s own Scott Wise will guide readers through the basics of computing. Lesson 6: Using the Internet, Part 2 We’ve been discussing the Internet for a few weeks now, and likely we won’t exhaust the subject anytime soon. Starting with a history, we’ve moved on to how to get onto a web browser, and some different options you have to pick from. This week, we’ll discuss some popular sites you can go to and enjoy. Once you’ve opened up your browser, click in the address bar at the top of the window. This is the white box that starts with ‘http://.’ This is where you’ll type in the website address for where you want to go. Each website has it’s own particular address. The http stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol. HTTP is actually a language, and it’s the language that the web was written in. It’s

all code, but once you know the basics you can understand HTTP. Next, the ‘www’. WWW stands for World Wide Web, and we covered the rest of that last week. After the www, the rest of the site is up to you. There are a vast number of different types of sites you can visit. First, the Search Engine. A Search Engine is a website that does exactly what it sounds like- searches. You type whatever you’re looking for into a little box, and the engine searches the entire Internet for matches to that information. Modern searches engines are unimaginably powerful, snagging million of answers to your questions in milliseconds. The most popular search engine is Google (google.com). Advertisers pay big bucks to have their ads listed on Google’s results page. The great thing about the web is that it is intuitive, meaning it can respond or learn from what you do. Say you want to learn about horses. You go to www.google. com and type in ‘Horses.’ A page pops up listing “About 307,000,000 results (0.23 seconds)” at the top, with more information on horses than you could hope to process in a lifetime. The interesting part is the

ads on the top, bottom and side of the screen. These advertisers pay thousands of dollars for their ad to show up when you click horses, giving them access to exactly the market they want to reach. After search engines, there are of course news sites. Sites like foxnews.com, cnn.com, msnbc. com and so on. Most organizations now list their websites on all their advertising material, but you can always search (see two paragraphs above) for a news organization’s website by simply typing the name into the search box. For instance, type in “Chautauqua County Community News”, and one of the first links to show up is starnewsdaily. com, the website of Star Media Group (who publishes this paper). Lastly- a link is just about anything underlined in blue on the web. A link is designed as a portal for you to simply click on, and it will take you where you want to go. Next week, we’ll discuss Social Media on the web, and the role it plays in today’s society. If you have a tech question you want Scott to answer, write to scott.wise@maytumcompany. com. Check back next week for the next edition of Tech Training 101.

On Tuesday, May 15 a question and answer session on municipal consolidation will be held for mayors and town supervisors. County Executive Greg Edwards has organized this event, which will be led by two officials from the New York State Department of State, Dierdre Scozzafava, Deputy Secretary for Local Government; and Kyle Wilber, Municipal Written by Todd J.

elected officials begin their analysis, the County Executive has said he hopes to have another forum open to county residents and taxpayers. Moves toward reducing multiple layers of government are crucial for the future of Chautauqua County’s business climate. They are also important for residential taxpayers. For some time we have been deeply concerned about the many layers of government and taxing entities that create expensive burdens. We hope this will be a step towards positive change and relief for all taxpayers and we strongly encourage continued dialogue around this issue.

Chamber To Host County Executive’s Breakfast June 1 The Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce will hold its annual County Executive’s Breakfast on Friday, June 1 at the Chautauqua Golf Club. County Executive Greg Edwards will make a brief presentation, followed by an opportunity for questions and answers. The Chamber hosts this event each year in order to provide an opportunity for the business community to hear directly from the County Executive and to exchange questions and share concerns. There are so many issues facing our County government

at this time including critical budget issues and the future of the County Home. We always look forward to a dialogue with the County Executive on key public policy issues as well as county initiatives to help support economic development. Greg Edwards is in his second term as Chautauqua County Executive. He was the Republican and Conservative nominee for Lieutenant Governor of New York in 2010.

Q&A Dog park rules keep ed the fur from flying

Seems to me that if it’s a public r- park, it should be open to everyone. rs. What do you think? — via email A: I think the safest dog parks are n that way because of sensible rules e for their use. You need to respect those rules, because if you don’t, it’s ate your child and your dog you’re pute ting at risk. Here’s the rationale for three comor mon rules at dog parks: ly • Children. Some who are looking gue for an outing with both their children and their pets want dog parks to be open to children. Proponents of “child-free” dog parks argue that children — who tend to behave in ways that encourage dogs to chase — could get knocked down or bitten. If a child gets hurt, the dog will get blamed, they say, so it’s better to leave children outside the gates. • Small dog/big dog. Some small dogs think they’re big dogs. Some big dogs think small dogs are edity ible. The clash of attitudes does not rs, work out well for small dogs. Many ank, dog parks are now adding a separate area that’s just for small dogs. or That’s a far better plan. • Unneutered male dogs. Young male dogs who have not been alta tered are generally more territorial and more likely to fight. And even and well-behaved unneutered dogs are often goaded by neutered ones.

FEED YOUR FELINE

early everything about your cat’s anatomy suggests her genetic heritage to hunt, and hunt well. Her feet are designed for silent stalking; her claws can hook anything and won’t let go; her teeth are long, pointed and razor-sharp. So what do you feed a creature who is so obviously designed to fend for herself? Choosing a cat food should be simple business, but with so many options available, it can be tricky to find the right diet for your cat’s best health. Even after 30 years of practicing veterinary medicine, I have to admit I sometimes find myself a little staggered by today’s pet food aisle. When I was a kid, we fed our cats in the barn from a 50-pound bag of generic, feed-store kibble. Now, I go to the grocery store that sells my own food, and see row upon row of dry, canned and even refrigerated fresh foods for felines — something for every taste, dietary need and preference. As a consumer, it’s great to have choices. But you have to be able to sort through your options, weigh costs vs. benefits, and know how to compare to There have never been more options in what to feed do your cat justice.

Flea and tick control safer for people, too • Keeping fleas and ticks off your pets is undeniably good for their health. New research suggests it’s good for yours, too. According to Vetstreet.com, a team at North Carolina State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine has connected the Bartonella infection to rheumatoid illnesses in people. Bartonella is a bacterium found in fleas, ticks and other biting insects. The team’s study, published in the current edition of Emerging Infectious Diseases, showed 62 percent of nearly 300 people suffering from a variety of rheumatoid illnesses were found to have antibodies against Bartonella, and 41 percent had DNA evidence of the bacterium in their blood. The majority also had contact with dogs and cats. The study makes controlling parasites a high priority for pet lovers, so talk to your veterinarian about effective parasite control for your pets — and, by extension, you. • Tired of cleaning up hairballs? Add some fiber to your cat’s diet. A little bit of canned pumpkin -– plain pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling — added to your pet’s regular meals will help the fur ingested by grooming to pass through the digestive system, instead of being thrown up onto your carpets. Combine it with canned food for palatability, or mix it with a little water from canned tuna or clams.

Pureed pumpkin is an inexpensive treatment for chronic hairballs. • While occasional cross-species theft by the cat from the dog’s food bowl isn’t a cause for alarm, giving dog food to cats long-term isn’t a good idea. That’s because dog food may lack a substance cats can’t synthesize on their own — taurine. The lack of taurine in the feline diet can lead to heart problems and blindness. — Mikkel Becker and Dr. Marty Becker

STOP IN FOR GREAT DEALS ON

Computers/Televisions/Electronics

By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

Heading into the 2012 season, after six consecutive winning seasons, it became apparent there was another step to be taken for the Fredonia women’s lacrosse team. Sure, winning seasons were hard to come by at first for this program, but even after all of the winning lately, Fredonia still had only made one SUNYAC Tournament in its 17-year program history, and that was before any member of this team had even stepped on campus. “The fact we had everybody returning except one player [from a 12-win team in 2011], I knew we would be pretty good,” head coach Chris Case said. “I knew we would have the experience, we just had to take that extra step. We had to let ourselves get

let out of the [SUNYAC] tourney.” It wasn’t easy. But as Case said, it was a season of stepping-stones. The first was a brutal challenge early by travelling to Messiah (Pa.), to play perennially one of the toughest teams in the country. The result: a humbling 17-8 loss that saw the Blue Devils trail 9-0 just 15 minutes into the game. “They blew us out,” Case said. “I said let’s forget about it.” To their credit they did. Case even acknowledged a strong showing in the games final 40 minutes that helped the confidence level. “We played them even for the final 40 minutes, 8-8,” he said. “That’s a top 10 team in the country. I think that showed our team that we are good enough to play with them and any other team in the country.” But it wasn’t until after the team re-

turned home from Florida when the season really took off. Sitting at 3-2, Fredonia blew out RIT 17-10 that seemed to jumpstart the season. Then, they beat Adrian (Mich.) 1514 in double overtime, the only loss the Bulldogs would suffer at home as they finished the season 16-2. Katie Kleine’s goal — her sixth of the game — in sudden death double overtime propelled the Blue Devils there. Then, at 7-2, it was a win over Geneseo, the first ever win over the Knights in program history, which finally put the Blue Devils on the map. “That was sort of the game where we knew just how good we were,” Case said. “But really what it did was put us in the position that we were going to be able to make the playoffs.” From there, it was a few more firsts. A win at Buffalo State two games

later catapulted Fredonia to 10-2 and 4-0 in SUNYAC. Then they were received votes from the IWLCA (Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association) poll, ranking the top 20 teams in women’s lacrosse. It set up a date with Cortland to determine the regular season conference champion, but the Blue Devils already knew they were at least heading to the elusive SUNYAC Tournament. Even an 8-7 loss couldn’t deter coach Case and the Blue Devils too much. After all, Cortland was the No. 2 team in the country. “Although we lost that game, we came out knowing we could play with them,” Case said. “Heading into the conference tournament, there was no doubt we could win the whole thing.” Continued on pg 2

Case Wins SUNYAC High School Baseball: Coach Of Year, Four Other Frewsburg Continues To Roll Blue Devils Honored By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

The accolades keep piling in for the Fredonia women’s lacrosse program. After receiving an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament for the first time in the program’s 17-year history on Sunday, the awards came flying in on Tuesday. Chris Case, in his 10th year at Fredonia, was named the 2012 SUNYAC women’s lacrosse Coach of the Year. Case, who is already the school’s all-time winningest coach with 91 wins, guided the team to a programrecord 14 wins, including rare road wins over Geneseo and Buff State. In addition, the school reached the SUNYAC conference tournament for just the second time in program history, while making the NCAA Tournament and receiving votes in the national polls for the first time each. It was the second time Case was named the Coach of the Year, with the first coming back in 2008, the

last time Fredonia made the SUNYAC conference tournament. Sophomore Katie Kleine was named SUNYAC Rookie of the Year, after leading the team in scoring with 82 points, which was also a school-record. She had 53 goals and a team-high 29 assists, which was seventh best in SUNYAC. Kleine was also named to the first team all-conference along with three other Blue Devils. Seniors Amy Simon, Megan Mietelski and junior goalie Casey Chiesa were also selected. Simon led the team with 69 goals, which was the third most in the conference. Mietelski, a defender, led the team with 31 caused turnovers and 71 draw controls. She helped anchor the conference’s second best defense in terms of goals against average. Finally, Chiesa started all 18 games for Fredonia this year with a .412 save percentage and a goals against average of 10.86.

It was business as usual for the Frewsburg Bears who dominated Salamanca in a doubleheader Tuesday afternoon to move to 9-0 in league play. It was also the team’s 10th win in a row since coming back from the Mingo Bay Classic in South Carolina. Frewsburg rolled to a 22-1 in the opener before winning by the exact same score in the nightcap. In both games, Frewsburg jumped out to big leads to put the game away. In the opener, the Bears scored nine in the opening frame before adding seven more in the second to go up 16-0. In the nightcap, it was a rerun. Five in the first and 11 more in the second gave Frewsburg a 16-1 lead after two. Besides that, most of the action was cancelled again this week as a host of games were cancelled Monday due to rain around the county pretty much all day. In CCAA 1, another good battle looks to go down to the wire between rivals Fredonia and Dunkirk. The Hillbillies won the first matchup 3-2 and the two schools — 5-1 in league play heading into Tuesday — will meet again Monday, May 14. Both teams have a loaded schedule this week and into the weekend looking to makeup the mass amount of rainouts

we’ve had over the past week and a half. Frewsburg is in total control in CCAA 2, a good sign for the Bears looking to extend their five-year sectional championship run. Cassadaga Valley has only lost one league game, but that came against those Frewsburg Bears in a relatively easy 6-0 shutout win for Frewsburg. Their main competition for that sectional title might just come from Westfield, a team in CCAA 3, as Frewsburg has had little trouble with anyone within the division. But the Wolverines have been equally as impressive in CCAA 3, shutting out teams left and right. The only challenge in that division right now appears to be Pine Valley, the back-to-back champ of Class D, who looks as tough as ever. In CCAA 4, it’s going to be a good battle between the top three teams of North Collins, Brocton and West Valley. Of course, those three teams, along with Pine Valley, should make the Class D playoffs very interesting. North Collins rolled Tuesday with a 19-1 win over Ripley. They’re now 11-1 and 8-0 in league play. But don’t count out Brocton, who played North Collins tough earlier this season and has mostly had an easy time throughout league play besides that.

Josh Hebner Wins Dan McGarvie Memorial At Eriez Speedway By Jay Pees

Contributing Writer

HAMMETT, Pa. — A beautiful spring evening greeted fans entering Eriez Speedway for the annual opener featuring the Dan McGarvie Memorial Race for the Kandy's Dinner Theater Super Challengers. After one lap Doug Melter was the leader but caution was thrown when Ryan White suffered front-end problems in the front straight. After the restart, Melter was joined by Kyle Jackson and 2012 champion Josh Hebner for a three-way battle for the lead. At six laps in, Hebner took over the lead with caution coming over the speedway just one lap later for a car stalled on the front straight. After green, Casey Burch came to second and reeled in Hebner and got by at the white flag but lapped traffic affected the finish, forcing Burch wide in turn one, handing the lead back to Hebner. Hebner got the win followed by Burch, Doug Melter, Wes Stull, and Josh Backstrom. Eighteen Jay's Auto Wrecking Super Late Models came to the green flag with Ron Davies and Greg Johnson leading the way. Two laps were complete when Dave Lyon looped his car in turn three while Greg Oakes mount billowed smoke on the main straight. On the restart four cars got together in turn one, negating the start. The next restart only lasted until turn three when Lyon and Jason Morell got together. Both cars suffered enough damage to force them to the pits. One lap later Scott Gurdak was in the wall in turn four. On the restart Scott and Johnson made contact right at the flagstand with Scott sliding along the top of the wall. Scott was transported to a local hospital to be examined. Johnson ran side by side with Davies several laps but Davies was again in sole control at lap 15 and went on to win. Mike Knight got by Johnson at lap 18 and went on to the second place finish with Johnson third, Ryan Scott fourth, and Chris Hackett fifth. Only seven of the eighteen starters finished the event. The Bonnell's Collision Center Street Stocks were the first feature of the fresh season. Mark Frontera took off to the early lead over Jimmy Kennerknecht and Steve Keith Jr. Kennerknecht spun off turn four at the end of two but kept moving although losing two spots. Keith and Pat McGuire were having a spirited battle for second until Ron Johnson and Tyler Lyngarkos spun at opposite ends of the speedway on lap four. Lyngarkos had spun first and the yellow was already out when Johnson spun so Johnson retained his position for the restart. After green, Greg Fenno got by both McGuire and Keith at lap six and quickly closed the gap on the leader. John Phelps Jr. spun at the halfway point again slowing the field. After green Fenno got by for the lead with McGuire suffering a flat left rear tire, forcing the 2011 champion to retire from the event. Jeffery Keith spun at lap 20 for the third caution period of the event. Over the final five laps Fenno led Joe Rohrer, Steve Keith Jr., Brent Crandall, and Mark Thompson before finishing of the win.

Jimmy Kennerknecht moved into the fifth position at the finish. Former champion Don McGuire led the Gannon University Super Sporstman feature to Mark Matthews' green flag. After three attempts, the No. 7 car field finally got racing with McGuire leading the first two laps before giving up the spot to Wade Watson. Just past halfway McGuire began spewing fluid on the track and retires to the pits with Jake Eller inheriting second. Tim Card wound up third with Jim Kibbe fourth. McGuire was scored fifth. Sixteen cars took the green for the Plyler Overhead Door E-Mod feature with Russ Dunn and Jack Young leading the way. Dunn blasted off to the immediate lead with Shane Crotty coming to second and Rich Michael third. After a caution at the end of four laps Michael came to second but Dunn was already opening up a sizable lead until going wide in turn two before heading to the pits on the next lap. Just past halfway Butch Southwell, Leonard Enos, and John Boardman tangled on the back straight, with all three coming to a halt against the wall. After restarting, Brent Rhebergen wasted no time taking over second from Crotty. Mike Knight and John Boyd also came by but nobody was able to do anything other than watch as Michael sped away to the win. The 14 Conway and O'Malley Limited Late Models were brought to the green by Stan Davis and Dan Maxim. The veteran Maxim led lap one with Davis and Dustin Eckman right behind. Davis kept pressuring Maxim, getting alongside on several laps, getting the advantage at lap eight. At halfway the top five were Davis, Maxim, Eckman, 2011 champion Chris Ottaway, and Tyler Green. One lap later Terry White spun in turn four for the first yellow period of the race. At the restart Eckman came by Maxim for the runner-up spot with Maxim retiring two laps later. Using the high line, Eckman grabbed the lead with two laps remaining. Caution again flew with one lap to go when White again looped his mount. On the final lap Ottaway dove to the inside when Eckman slid high, getting by for the win. The defending class champion went on to the win over Eckman, Steve Kania, Chris McGuire, and early leader Davis. The Dan's Rt 8 Boardwalk Bar and Grill FASTRAK Late Models were brought to the green by Billy Henry and Matt Latta with Henry leading lap one. At eight laps complete Justin Kreider spun in turn three, bunching the field behind Henry. Bob Dorman immediately got by Latta for second with Chad Wright right behind. At halfway the cars of Bruce Hordusky, Justin Kreider, Eric Andrus, and CotyMason piled up in turn three, bringing out caution. Wright was on Henry's rear bumper over the next several laps with caution again flying with four laps remaining for a spin by Eric Andrus. One more caution occurred with two to go when Bobby Rohrer spun in turn one. Henry cruised to the win over Wright, Dorman, Jamie Moore, and Max Blair.

David Scott passed Chad Carlson on the first lap of the E-Mod feature. A lap three spin on the front straightaway by Ron Seeley caused caution number one. Scott Gurdak, Greg Johnson, and Butch Southwell completed the top five. An accident in turn one on the restart collected nearly

half the field. Debris brought out the yellow on the restart. The race settled down after the first couple of cautions and Scott began to extend his lead over Johnson and the rest of the field. Even lap traffic did not allow Johnson to close with Scott as he won his second feature of the night. Bryce Davis was led the initial laps of the Crate Late Model feature with Matt Cobb second and Justin Tatlow third. Bob Dorman and Randy Raynor were involved in early yellows.

John Haggerty grabbed fourth on the restart after starting 21st. Raynor caused caution nine on lap fifteen. With two laps remaining Blair was pressing Davis at every turn but could not complete the pass with Bidwell waiting for either of the leaders to make a mistake that did not happen.

FREDONIA WOMENS LACROSSE continued from pg 1 Selection Show Wait “To be honest, I think we thought it was over,” Case said after losing to Buffalo State in the SUNYAC semifinals. “I may have been the only one who thought are chances were still good though.” Of course, Fredonia’s easiest ticket into the NCAA Tournament was by winning their conference tournament. Since that didn’t happen, Fredonia had to hope to grab one of the few precious at-large spots in the field of 31. The good news was good computer numbers thanks to a difficult schedule. According to laxpower.com, they were 10th in RPI (ratings percentage index), and 35th in SOS (strength of schedule), two key components to selecting at-large teams. The bad news was, they might be considered the third best team in SUNYAC. “When Buff State beat us, it looked as thought they would be the second team from SUNYAC,” Case said. “Most people said they wouldn’t take three

teams from our conference, but I said let’s watch the selection show and see what happens.” What happened was a gift from the lacrosse Gods. Fredonia was the first team shown and would host St. John Fisher Wednesday night. “It was nice to be called first,” Case joked. “Very relieving to see our name.” Tourney Time Yes, in a season of firsts, Fredonia will get to play in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in its history. The question is can they keep the run going and win their first NCAA tournament game? “We’re excited to play at this

level,” Case said. “There are only 31 teams practicing and we’re one of them. But Fisher is a real good team and we’ll have our hands full.” If Fredonia were to win, they’d play the top-seeded and defending champion Salisbury this Saturday, May 12. But Case thinks by losing their final game to Buff State, it may have lit a fire for his team that could give them a bit of an extra edge going forward. “I think we learned that no lead is for certain,” Case said, referring to the early 6-1 lead over Buff State. “It didn’t sit well with us and now we already have that taste of the season being over. We don’t want to feel like

that again and we feel like we’ve been given a second chance.” And it’s a well-deserved second chance. Fredonia finished the regular season 14-4, the most wins in program history. They also won seven conference games, as many as they won in each of the past two years. In addition, it gives this great senior class another shot at a marquee victory. “We’ve had several records broken this year, accomplished a lot of things that we’ve never done before, and there’s really not a better way to go out, other than besides a national championship.”

Derby Still An American Tradition

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

I spent this past weekend in the beautiful city of Louisville, Ky., taking in the 138th Kentucky Derby for the second year in a row. To me, its still one of the last remaining great sporting events this country still has to offer. For starters, I’m not much ate-of a regular season guy. I get it, more money for teams, ht players, etc. It’s smart, always rt. has been. But it sort of takes away from the gameday experience when the team, his city or venue has to produce rest something on a daily basis. Well, this sport clearly has ose the smallest regular season. c- Because of that, the gameday experience is nearly unbeatial able. I still like getting out l to a new college football ond stadium to witness new trab ditions, but they all pale in r comparison to what happens ws. down in Louisville. I’d assume most people reading this haven’t made rret the eight-or-so hour trek to r. northern Kentucky, but if I ler could recommend one sportn ing trip to anybody out there, its Churchill Downs. If you’re a big gambler, it’s probably m not cheap, but if you’re more air in it for the sporting event the like me, it won’t burn a hole om in your wallet. on Even though the relatively un small city isn’t exactly f- equipped to hold the mass bb, arrival of people from across the country — I’ve stayed in southern Indiana two years h in a row — I’ve had a total of r zero complaints in my two uld trips. Naturally, there is a nd monstrous markup on every d single hotel within a cab had driver’s radius of the track, rd but I can’t imagine booking erty a hotel for a Super Bowl is art even remotely close to these prices. e Because of that, more than ps 150,000 people cram into ng Churchill Downs, each uld without anything more than a mild rooting interest, just of looking for an all-around ake good time and an extra couple hundred bucks in their pockets. Again, for me, it was a great time. Granted, my group of e’ve friends goes cheap: $40 for ” general admission into the infield and no real sight of c- the actual race. But, I’d be hed willing to bet that the infield e is the place to be. ory. r- First off, it’s not just a bunch y of drunken college kids rollo ing around in the mud. It’s his actually far from it. Most of hot the infield is paved walkways littered with concession stands, souvenir stands, and of course, some betting gates. There are also more bathrooms than you can imagine. nd You actually begin to forget ay where you are — not because es a of the alcohol — at most times because it’s basically a mix between a county fair and an outdoor concert.

And no, people aren’t wearing their Sunday bests in there, but you’re not at the beach, either. The women are all still dressed up; it’s mostly just guys not being interested in wearing a three-piece suit on a 85-degree summer day. Which would include me. After all, staying hydrated for a 7-hour event isn’t entirely easy. You can bring a cooler inside the derby with non-alcoholic drinks, but lugging around a huge cooler most of the day isn’t fun. Especially on a day like Saturday, you need your fair share of water, regardless of the price. Of course, how can you go to the Kentucky Derby and not drink a Mint Julep? The choice drink — along with the fruitier, lighter, vodkainfused Oaks Lily — is about as much of a staple to the race as the hats. According to the Kentucky Derby’s website, more than 120,000 are served over the two-day weekend (including Friday’s Kentucky Oaks). But I’m still willing to bet the infield alone approaches that number. Regardless, onto the race. Last week I told you I really liked Dullahan, and while nearly all of my bets featured the No. 5 horse, I did manage to sneak one in on the 19 horse — I’ll Have Another — to win. More for modesty sake, I’ll spare you my winnings. While you only get to see a snippet of the race — on the far wide end of the track like me — there are enough big screens throughout the place to see what’s going on. Plus everybody is in tune for the race and there is a special aura running through the air as post time closes within in a few minutes. It’s really a surreal feeling that I can’t explain as every single person waits for the horses to burst out of the gates. Anyhow, can I’ll Have Another carry on? In the last seven years, only one horse has gone on to win the Preakness after winning the Kentucky Derby. That was Big Brown back in 2008. Before that, though, six of the previous eight derby winners had gone on to win the Preakness. Of course, all of them went on to lose the Belmont as we still await the next elusive Triple Crown winner. Can I’ll Have Another do that? In my opinion, no. I don’t think he is that great of a horse and the talent-pool is too muddled. I’d be surprised if he won the Preakness and can’t even fathom a win at the Belmont, but I’m no expert. But it doesn’t matter because that’s not what the Derby is about, especially since the next two races don’t affect what happened at Churchill Downs at all. I’ll Have Another will go down in Derby history lore. I won’t forget who won the 2012 Kentucky Derby, just how most others in attendance won’t either. Just think, maybe you’ll be able to say that about the 2013 race.

100 Years Later: Celebrating Hugh Bedient Contributed Article Chautauqua Sports HOF

100 years ago Fenway Park became the new home of the Boston Red Sox. A 22-year-old rookie pitcher from Falconer, Hugh Bedient, helped lead the Red Sox to the World Series by compiling a remarkable 20-10 record during that 1912 season. Facing the New York Giants in the World Series, the 1908 Falconer High School graduate tossed 18 innings in four games while compiling a sterling 0.50 earned run average. In the pivotal fifth game, he defeated Giant’s ace and future Baseball Hall of Famer Christy Matthewson 2-1. Bedient also started the final game of the series and pitched seven strong innings before being lifted for a pinch hitter with the score tied 1-1. The Boston Americans ultimately won the match 3-2 in ten innings to capture the 1912 World Series Championship. Following the Series, Bedient returned to his home in Falconer and was honored by a parade witnessed by an estimated 25,000 people. Although no official Rookieof-the- Year was awarded until 1947, the Society of Baseball Research polled its membership of historians and declared Bedient the 1912 winner. Bedient first drew the attention of baseball scouts on July 27, 1908 when he was a member of a semi-pro squad from Falconer that squared off against a team from Corry, Pa. In an effort considered to be a “world’s record” Bedient struck out 42 Corry batsmen while pitching 23 innings. His brilliant effort resulted in national attention and 19 offers to play professional baseball. He signed with Fall River, Mass. for 1910 and played at Providence in 1911 before making the Red Sox in 1912. Following his 1912 World Series Championship, Hugh pitched two more years with Boston then jumped Buffalo of the upstart Federal League in 1915. He completed his baseball journey with minor league seasons at Toledo (1916-17, 1921-23), Portland (1924) and Atlanta (1925). To commemorate the 100th anniversary of Bedient’s 1912 World Series Championship, the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame, in cooperation with the Village of Falconer, the Falconer Central School System, the Chautauqua Region Community Founation and community-minded citizens from Falconer, has planned a number of celebratory events for Saturday, May 19. Sue Seamens will have a display of Bedient memorabilia and baseball related literature at

Gordon: ‘I want to laugh ... cry’ Jeff Gordon won the pole for the Aaron’s 499 at Talladega Superspeedway, one of the bright spots in an otherwise dismal season. But after being collected in a multi-car crash, the four-time champion was left with a 33rdplace finish, which puts him 23rd in the points standings, 145 points behind leader Greg Biffle, and 69 points out of the top 10. He said the 2012 season is turning out to be one of the most bizarre of his career. “I mean it’s almost comical at this point,” he said. “I want to laugh at it, but I want to cry, too. It’s just ridiculous that we cannot catch a single break.” Gordon went on to say that he’s no fan of the rules designed to limit two-car tandems at Daytona and Talladega. Those rules are designed so that cars that do push quickly overheat. Some, including Gordon, say NASCAR has gone too far in that direction. “This temp thing is kind of a joke,” he said. “They are going to have to fix that … When you can’t really even race because the temps, even in a regular pack, are an issue, we have to address that.”

Three years after first Cup win, Keselowski shows no signs of stopping

art of the fun of following NASCAR – or any sport – is trying to figure out who will be the next superstar. Three years ago at Talladega Superspeedway, after Brad Keselowski held his ground on the final lap and got his first career Sprint Cup victory (while Carl Edwards, after contact between the two of them, flew into the catchfence), many speculated that Keselowski was destined for stardom. Others figured he might be like Bobby Hillin Jr., Phil Parsons, Ron Bouchard, Dick Brooks or Lennie Pond – drivers who got a win at Talladega then never won anywhere else. But since then, Keselowski has won four more times, earned a Chase berth in 2011 and established himself as one of the sport’s top stars. On Sunday, in the Aaron’s 499, he pulled off a move that isn’t supposed to work, to motor away from his drafting partner Kyle Busch on the final lap and cruise to his sixth career victory. On a green-white-checkered run to the finish, Keselowski proved adept at hooking up in a two-car tandem, working with Kyle Busch to motor away from the Roush Fenway Racing duo of Matt Kenseth and Greg Biffle, who had difficulty getting hooked up bumper to bumper and quick-

Then Keselowski showed a sign of true greatness, when he made a daring move in Turn Three on the final lap and broke away from Busch, a maneuver that allowed him to motor away unchallenged to the finish line. When Keselowski went high, then low, it broke the draft and more importantly debunked the prevailing school of thought that the second-place driver had the advantage on the final lap at Talladega. Keselowski said he’d been wait-

ing a long time to try that move. “I had this whole plan if I ever got in that situation where I was leading,” he said. “I thought about it and thought about it, dreamed about what to do, and sure enough, going into [Turn] Three, it was just me and Kyle [Busch], and I knew the move I wanted to pull. “It worked because the guy running second should have the advantage, but I had this move all worked up in my mind. “Now everybody has seen it and they know it, but I’m glad I was able to get a win with it … It

wasn’t easy to convince myself to do that, but it was the right move. I’m glad it worked.” An obviously disappointed Busch said he wasn’t sure how Keselowski got away at the end and he wasn’t sure if it was a planned maneuver or not. “If he did [plan it] it was pretty smart,” Busch said. Keselowski’s victory, his second of the season, appears to put him in good position to take a spot in the Chase, which begins after the 26-race regular season. And it further establishes him as one of the sport’s elite drivers. Busch and Kenseth both agreed with that when queried after the race. “He’s no dummy, that’s for sure,” Busch said. “He’s got good plate-racing skills. I think he’s got good short track, mile-and-a-half skills, too. “Brad should be a title contender each and every year.” Kenseth, who blamed himself for not doing a better job at managing the tandem at the end at Talladega, said that many not directly involved in the sport may not realize how dedicated Keselowski is to his job. “That’s one thing people don’t notice or give him credit for – he works really hard,” Kenseth said. “I think that’s a lot of reason for his success.”

Drivers anticipate fun, challenges of Darlington races Mother’s Day weekend finds NASCAR idle on Sunday, but racing hard on Saturday night in the Bojangles’ Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway. In the previous 62 Cup races at NASCAR’s oldest superspeedway, it has been shown time and again that the track’s nicknames, like “the Lady in Black” and the “Track Too Tough To Tame,” are more than appropriate. It’s a little different in recent races, as the smoother asphalt from a 2007 repave has taken some of the challenge out of the track, but it’s still tough and could be more challenging this time around, as the asphalt has had another year to age. Darlington trophies always have been among the most cherished in auto racing. Jimmie Johnson said he’s mighty proud of his two – both from 2004. “That was on the old surface, which – Darlington isn’t easy now – but, there is just something so cool about the surface prior to the repave,” Johnson said. “It was such a challenge. I am very proud of those trophies.” Although one of those trophies wound up getting ruined, Johnson said the track replaced it. In six career Cup starts at Darlington, Martin Truex Jr. has yet to score a top-five finish, but he has

(NASCAR photo) an average finish of 12.3 with a best of sixth and a worst of 19th. “I feel like it’s probably one of my best tracks,” he said, acknowledging that his average finish isn’t spectacular. “We’ve led a ton of laps there since they repaved it, and [we] had cars, to be honest, three or four times, that were capable of winning … “I’m really, really looking forward to that race. I think we have a shot at winning, and look forward to going there.”

Denny Hamlin said, for him, Darlington is one of those tracks that challenge him, which he enjoys. “It just seems like we have adapted to it and found a way to get around the track,” he said. Hamlin also said he was at Darlington recently and believes it’s going to be more like the old Darlington than most people expect. “It’s amazing to see how much the surface has aged just since last year,” he said. “The surface was white as snow, and basically that’s the rock starting to come up through the asphalt again, which I think is great for that race track.” A more abrasive track generally creates more tire wear and places more emphasis on driving ability. Hamlin, in his relatively brief career, has been a master at handling Darlington, whether the pavement was old or new. In six Cup starts, he has a win in 2010 and a runner-up finish in 2007 and has never finished worse than 13th. In six Nationwide Series races at Darlington he has three wins, in 2006, 2007 and 2010. He has a second place from last year, and his worst finish is an eighth, which came in 2004 in his Nationwide debut. “For myself, I just have a way of getting around the place,” he said. “I really can’t explain it.”

Tony Stewart had some interesting – and sarcastic – responses to media questions after crashing on the final caution at Talladega. He was responding to the rules changes, made in response to fan complaints about boring racing, that brought back the big packs of cars. “I’m sorry we couldn’t crash more cars today,” he said. “We didn’t fill the quota for today for Talladega and NASCAR … “Honestly, I think if we haven’t crashed at least 50 percent of the field by the end of the race, we need to extend the race until we at least crash 50 percent of the cars, because it’s not fair to these fans, for them to not see any more wrecks than that, and more torn up cars. We still had over half the cars running at the end, and it shouldn’t be that way.” He suggested running the race in a figure-8 format. “It would absolutely be perfect here,” he said. “It would be better than what we have. That is going to be my vote next week is that we make it a figure-8, and/or we can stop at the halfway, make a break and turn around and go backwards the rest of the way. Then with 10 to go, we split the field in half and half go the regular direction and half of them go backwards.”

NASCAR penalties lose bite The outcome of the penalties announced following rules infractions at Richmond International Raceway seems to indicate that NASCAR’s chief appellate officer, John Middlebrook, has taken some of the bite out of NASCAR’s penalty process. After Jimmie Johnson’s No. 48 Sprint Cup team had its penalties overturned by Middlebrook – other than a monetary fine – for rules violations at Daytona in February, the NASCAR world was closely watching for the next round of infractions. Last week, six Nationwide Series crew chiefs were fined and placed on probation for having unapproved modifications to the front bumper area of their cars. They were Luke Lambert (No. 2 team), Danny Stockman (No. 3 team), Trent Owens (No. 0 team), Jimmy Elledge (No. 31 team), Ernie Cope (No. 33 team), and Mike Shiplett (No. 38 team). But none of the Nationwide teams, nor the drivers, were docked any points, as has been a major part of NASCAR penalties in the past. In the eyes of many in the garage, if points aren’t part of the penalty, there’s no real problem.

He was twice honored as the NAHL’s Player of the Month in both February and March. During the year, he also committed to the University of Connecticut, where he will play hockey in the fall. Kalisz is also one of two finalists for the USA Hockey Junior Player of the Year. Defenseman of the Year: John Rey, Amarillo Bulls Rey, a 19-year-old from Turnersville, New Jersey, led all NAHL defenseman in scoring with 51 points in 60 games played. Since the NAHL started tracking and keeping plus/minus as a statistic, he set a new single-season record with an amazing +64 rating this past season. His 43 assists ranked 6th of all players in the league. He also was selected to be a part of the South team at the 2012 NAHL Top Prospects Tournament. Brian’s Goaltender(s) of the Year and 201112 Rookie(s) of the Year: Connor Hellebuyck, Odessa Jackalopes and Robert Nichols, Wenatchee Wild The NAHL had the rarest of situations this season as both Connor Hellebuyck and Robert Nichols

received the same number of votes for both the Rookie of Year award and the Brian’s Goaltender of the Year awards, therefore both were honored. Hellebuyck, an 18-year-old from Commerce, Michigan, had a remarkable rookie season as he backstopped the Jackalopes to an NAHL playoff appearance. He led the league in games and minutes played, shots faced, saves and was second in save percentage at .930. During the season, he made an NCAA Division I commitment to the University of MassachusettsLowell for next season. Nichols, a 19-year-old from Dallas, Texas, who also led his team to the playoffs, set all-time new league records for shutouts in a season with 10 and goals against average in a season with a 1.49 goals against average. He also ranked first in save percentage with a .938. Just this past week, Nichols announced his NCAA Division I commitment to the University of Connecticut. Coach of the Year: Bill Warren, Port Huron Fighting Falcons Having just completed his first full season, Warren took over head coaching duties for the Port Huron Fighting Falcons in early 2011. This season, his team put together one of the best singleseason turnarounds in NAHL history, going from winning six games last season to 38 games this season, a remarkable +32 turnaround in the win column. Port Huron also won both the North Division’s regular season and playoff titles. General Manager of the Year: Rob Proffitt, Fairbanks Ice Dogs Under the direction of General Manager Rob Proffitt, Fairbanks won their third regular season division title in the last five years and was the reigning

Robertson Cup title holders this past season. They had nine players commit to NCAA schools so far this season. Perhaps more impressively, he helped his team sellout 24 of possible 28 home games this season, which lead the NAHL. This marks Proffitt’s second consecutive year of being honored as NAHL General Manager of the Year. Organization of the Year: Amarillo Bulls The Amarillo Bulls won the South Division’s regular season and playoff championships, along with posting the best record in the NAHL during the regular season, setting a new NAHL record with 99 points in one season. They also managed to increase their average attendance over 500 fans a game vs. what they did last season. During the season, they had 13 players commit to NCAA programs, which led the NAHL. Academic Achievement Award: Alex Globke, Port Huron Fighting Falcons Globke, 18, maintained a 3.95 grade point average with all college prep courses in his senior year of high school at Port Huron Northern also was selected as academic student of the month for the month of December. While doing all this, he managed to lead his team in scoring this past season along with winning the North Division’s regular season and playoff titles. Community Service Award: Brooks Behling, Amarillo Bulls Behling was not only an impact player on the ice this season, but he also left his mark on the community. He participated in over 40 hours of community service, including teaching a Hockey for Health program, attending the children's diabetes walk for a cure and visiting the local Amarillo Veterans Hospital. All of this pales in

comparison to the program that he started this season and the charitable impact that it had. He was instrumental in the "Bulls for Miracles" program. The program was designed to solicit donations based on goals scored during home games and victories. He also pledged to make a donation himself for each goal that he scored throughout the year. He went on to have a banner year, registering 37 goals on the season. He also worked hard to bring in donations for the program. During the Bulls final home game he and his father presented a check to the "Children's Miracle Network" for $7,488, which he raised himself. Mark Messier Leadership Award: Jack Prince, Texas Tornado Jack embodies everything Mark Messier was as a player and remains today as an ambassador of hockey. Jack came to the United States from the United Kingdom (England) as an unpolished and inexperienced hockey player. He was big, but was told he was slow. Upon his arrival in Texas, Prince flourished and immediately emerged as a leader in his first season, registering 50 points. However, it was Jack's off the ice demeanor and leadership that was just as important. Prince often took the lead to all the Tornado community outreach events like visiting area schools to talk about the important of reading and nutrition, or visiting area hospitals during the holidays to bring stuffed animals to sick children, if only to bring a smile to their face for one day. Jack also never passes up an opportunity to talk to fans, making sure that every autograph is signed and every hand is shaken before leaving the arena. In his second year in the NAHL, he scored even more points (60) and he also had the rare opportunity to represent his native England at the IIHF Division I World Junior Championships, where he led the tournament in scoring and helped England to 2nd place finish. In his final junior season the NAHL, he totaled 78 points and became the all-time leading scorer in the 12-year history of the Texas Tornado. His 39 goals ranked second in the NAHL this season and as the captain, Jack not only let his play lead his team, but also his composure. He plays the game with a respect for his opponents, only totaling just 87 penalty minutes in three seasons. He is close to securing a NCAA Division I scholarship and embodies everything that is right about the NAHL player. He came to the league from a foreign land, grew as a player and person, developed his skill and his leadership qualities to finish as one of the most prolific scorers in NAHL history and one of the great captains and leaders in the 12-year history of the Texas Tornado and the NAHL.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Doug O'Neill is immediately turning his attention to the Preakness after I'll Have Another's victory in the Kentucky Derby. The chestnut colt is being shipped to Maryland on Monday for the second leg of the Triple Crown, making him the earliest arriving Derby winner since Monarchos showed up at Pimlico four days after his 2001 win. I'll Have Another will now look to take the next step towards becoming the first Triple Crown winner since 1978 when Affirmed swept the Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes within a fiveweek span. “I get goose bumps just thinking about it,” O'Neill said. “I think he is the kind of horse who can maintain his form and keep it going.” He'll likely see some old rivals again in Baltimore on May 19, including Bob Baffert's Bodemeister, who might have won Saturay's race if it was 1 3/16th of a mile like the Preakness is. Baffert joked at what advice he might give O'Neill in advance of the next race following a Derby victory.

Went the Day Well sustained a cut on his right front ankle in the Derby, but trainer Graham Motion said it wasn't a problem. Seven new candidates are on tap, too.

Pujols Ends HR Drought, Slugs First As An Angel Contributed Article Associated Press

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — That day off sure did Albert Pujols some good. The $240 million slugger finally hit a home run for the Los Angeles Angels, ending the longest power drought of his career Sunday in a 4-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Pujols connected in the fifth inning for a two-run shot, his first AL homer and the 446th overall. He didn't play in Saturday night's victory after Angels manager Mike Scioscia kept him out of the lineup for the first time this season. “I don't think anything's been lifted off my shoulders, man,” said Pujols, who did not come out for a curtain call. “I don't think about what you guys write or what you think. I know what I'm capable of doing, and I come out here every day and

try to get myself ready for the game and give 110 percent to this team and to this organization. And if I do that, there's nothing to be sorry about.” Pujols circled the bases without showing much emotion —

the ol' silent treatment, a plot hatched by Torii Hunter. They were all waiting for the slugger in the tunnel leading to the clubhouse. Then, a burst of euphoria and they were all back on the bench, high-fiving and slapping him all over his body. “I thought that would be cool. I always wanted to do that, and it worked,” Hunter said. “I just said: 'Let's get off the bench and go to the tunnel.' He was excited about it and we were, too. We had to think fast. When I have a day off, man, I do stupid stuff.” Pujols had gone 33 games and 139 at-bats dating to last year without a home run in the regular season. The three-time NL MVP had a three-homer game for the Cardinals in the World Series and hit seven home runs in spring training. Pujols drove a 2-2 pitch from rookie right-hander Drew Hutchison (1-1) into the

Kings Sweep Blues, Advance To Western Conference Finals

Contributed Article Associated Press

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Anze Kopitar skated down Dustin Brown and just plain tackled him, dropping the Los Angeles Kings captain to the ice as a sellout crowd expelled 19 years of frustration. Brown's goal into the empty St. Louis net had just secured a spot in the Western Conference finals for the Kings, who steamrolled their first win two playoff opponents the same way Kopitar who flattened his longtime teammate. cho Eternal also-rans since joining the NHL nearly 45 years ago, the Kings are going deep in this posto season — and the best of the West hasn't slowed s them down yet. d- Brown scored two goals, Jonathan Quick made s 23 saves, and the eighth-seeded Kings finished whoan improbable four-game sweep of the St. Louis Blues with a 3-1 victory Sunday, advancurn ing to the conference finals for just the second ng time in club history. d Rookie Jordan Nolan scored an early goal for the Kings, the first No. 8 seed in NHL history to t eliminate their conference's top two seeds in the e same postseason.

Phoenix's series with Nashville in the Western Conference finals. The Coyotes lead 3-1, with Game 5 in Phoenix on Monday night. Los Angeles won despite its weakest effort of the postseason in Game 4, clinging to a 2-1 firstperiod lead while St. Louis dominated most of the final two periods. Perhaps the Kings didn't adapt well to an unusually early start time, but Quick made a handful of big saves before Brown scored his sixth goal of a stellar postseason with 25.8 seconds left. ''You heard the rink today, how loud it was,'' said Quick, who has a .949 save percentage in the postseason. ''It means a lot more to (the fans) than it does to us. It's a great deal, a big push, by

us to win four in a row against a team like that. They were great all series long ... but you heard the fans, how loud they were the last two minutes there. It gives you goose bumps.'' The Kings made their only previous trip to the conference finals in 1993, when Wayne Gretzky and Luc Robitaille propelled Los Angeles past Toronto and into their only Stanley Cup finals, a loss to Montreal. The Kings won just one playoff series in the ensuing 17 seasons before routing the Presidents' Trophy-winning Canucks in five first-round games last month. ''I can only imagine how happy Kings fans are right now,'' said Brown, who has never played for another organization. ''They've been through a

rough stretch, and to win on home ice, that's huge for everyone in this room. It's nice to see the fans get jacked up as much as they could. They haven't an opportunity to celebrate like that at home.'' Kevin Shattenkirk scored his first career playoff goal for the Blues, who were outscored 15-6 in the series to end their most successful season in more than a decade. Brian Elliott stopped 17 shots in an improved performance, but the Kings' momentum couldn't even be stopped by a bad game. ''L.A. plays the way you have to play to win the Cup now,'' said St. Louis coach Ken Hitchcock, who won the title with Dallas in 1999. ''Over the disappointments of the last three or four years, they've figured it out.'' Los Angeles' only previous playoff series sweep happened in 1976 in a best-of-three elimination of the Atlanta Flames. The Kings failed to sweep Vancouver in the first round after losing Game 4, but managed to avoid another long trip to St. Louis by winning at Staples Center for just the third time in their past nine home playoff games. The Kings only trailed for 7:42 of the entire series with St. Louis - a short stretch of the first period of Game 1. The Blues also were swept out of the postseason in 2009, their only previous playoff appearance since 2004. ''The second period, we really got into our game, the way we've played all year to be successful,'' St. Louis captain David Backes said. ''I don't think they had a ton of response for it, but they did a good job of bending and not breaking. They get credit, but we are going to have a long summer of thinking about how we could have been better in

Coyotes Reach Western Conference Final For First Time

ack Contributed Article nd Associated Press dy. l. nd GLENDALE, Ariz. — An hour before one st of the biggest games in franchise history, the nd Phoenix Coyotes learned a deal was in place ted for a new owner, one they hoped would end e three years of uncertainty. ve a They celebrated in typical fashion: grinding ff.” out another victory. This one, though, will take nd them somewhere they've never been before: r the Western Conference finals. eg- Relying again on their grit and the superb NL goaltending of Mike Smith, the Coyotes beat me the Nashville Predators 2-1 on Monday night ld to earn their first trip to the conference finals uns in 33 years as an NHL franchise. "It feels great right now, a lot of hard work," m Coyotes defenseman Keith Yandle said. "It's been a battle the past few years, but it's a lot of fun and we're blessed to be where we are right now." The day started off with news the Coyotes and their fans had been anticipating for three years. Speaking as players from both teams warmed up in the hallway, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman announced that a tentative deal had been reached to sell the Coyotes to former San Jose Sharks CEO Greg Jamison. The Coyotes paid it no mind. They had spent the previous three seasons with uncertainty hanging over them and had learned to keep their focus on the ice, not what happens off it. Playing its usual counterpunching style, Phoenix withstood an early flurry by Nashville and followed with goals from Derek Morris and Martin Hanzal in the second period. And, as usual, the Coyotes gave up a late goal to make it interesting, this one by Colin Wilson with just less than 6 minutes left. Phoenix has become accustomed to seat-of-their-

pants victories, though, and the Coyotes pulled out another one, nearly getting an empty-net goal by Smith before setting off a raucous celebration on the ice rink surrounded by desert. Next up for the Coyotes are the Los Angeles Kings, the first No. 8 seed to knock off Nos. 1 and 2 in the same playoffs. "We've learned a lot as a group who we are, and every guy has contributed in the series and the playoffs," said Smith, who stopped 32 shots. "It's been different guys in different series, and it's been a big part of our success." Nashville, as it did all series, had plenty of good chances against Smith. Even with forwards Alexander Radulov and Andrei Kostitsyn back from two-game suspensions, the Predators couldn't find a way to capitalize, hitting the post at least three times and managing one goal despite outshooting the Coyotes 33-17. The loss knocks Nashville out of the playoffs

in the conference semifinals for the second straight season. "They found a way to keep the puck out of the net," Predators coach Barry Trotz said. "In the end, we had enough chances to win this series, but we didn't win. We couldn't bury anything past Smith." The Coyotes got some long-awaited good news before the game, when Bettman announced the league had a tentative deal to sell the team to Jamison. There's no official sale agreement yet, and Jamison still needs to work out lease details with the city of Glendale, which could be a dicey proposition with conservative watchdog group the Goldwater Institute lurking. Still, after three years of waiting, the move toward ownership and staying in the desert took a big step. It had already been a great season. Relying on Smith and their protect-at-all-costs

mentality, the unflashy Coyotes won their first division title as an NHL franchise and advanced to the second round of the playoffs for the first time in 25 years. With Jobing.com Arena juiced and Bettman, not to mention their potential new boss in the house, the Coyotes played their pack-in-andcounter game the way they have all playoffs. The Coyotes broke through early in the second, when Pekka Rinne made a kick save on a breakaway by Shane Doan but couldn't stop Morris' shot from the point after Phoenix reset. The Predators tried to rally, turning up the pressure. Instead of the tying goal, they hit the post three times — twice in one rapid-fire sequence — and had another shot blocked by diving Coyotes. Smith also made a snatching save on a wrister by Gabriel Bourque. Phoenix then went back to its counterattacking ways, with Kyle Chipchura breaking out, holding, then setting up Hanzal's wrister that Rinne couldn't see with a defender in his way. "That is kind of how the series went," Predators defenseman Ryan Suter said. "We didn't capitalize on their chances, and they came back and it ended up in the back of our net." Wilson squeezed a puck through one of them with 5:59 left, flicking a pass from David Legwand past Smith, ending his scoreless streak of more than 160 minutes. The Coyotes wouldn't let them score again, and Smith nearly ended it with a flourish, missing an empty net by a few inches with 2 seconds left. It didn't matter at that point — the Coyotes were on their way to the conference finals, capping one of the biggest days in franchise history with another wipe-the-brow victory. "Coyote ugly — that's kind of been the motto here," Smith said. "We just find a way to win."

PHILADELPHIA — The St. Bonaventure softball team (17-27, 6-14 Atlantic 10 Conference) was swept in a season-ending doubleheader at Temple (27-20, 12-6 A-10) on Sunday by scores of 11-0 in 5 innings in the opener and 5-1 in the nightcap. Senior Brooke Frey provided the lone SBU run of the contests with a full-count 6thinning home run to center field in game two. As a team, the Bonnies could muster just four hits over the two games. In game one, Temple plated three runs in the 1st inning, three in the 2nd, four in the 3rd and tacked on one more in the 4th. The Bonnies could produce just one hit — from Kelli Rohan — off Temple starter Brooklin White. Jen Sansano started for Bo-

naventure, but lasted just 2.2 innings in which she allowed 10 runs, but only five were earned as errors once again cost the Bonnies. Julia Pratt finished up the first game by allowing one run on one hit over 1.1 innings. In game two, the Owls once again plated a run in the 1st

inning to open up the scoring. A three-run home run in the 2nd expanded the Temple lead to 5-0 before Frey's homer capped the scoring. Diana Phalon (6-12) tossed all 6 innings for the Bonnies, allowing five runs (four earned) and five hits while walking five and striking out one.

The setbacks to the Owls result in SBU ending the season on an eight-game losing streak, scoring just four runs over those eight contests. The doubleheader served as the final collegiate games for five SBU seniors: Brittany Storch, Frey, Ashley Nowak, Phalon and Kristin Sullivan.

''I'm happy to be here and I'm glad that this is over with and now we can focus on playing football.'' e For Jackson, the extension is a reward after he's led the team in rushing in each of the past three seasons. And it also eases any lingering hard feelings Jackson might have had toward the Bills after expressing concerns last year that he was underpaid under his previous four-year, a $7.5 million contract.

''He was a huge piece of the puzzle for us.'' rk.

An influx of youth in the NFL draft and an expensive contract combined to make veteran cornerback Drayton Florence the odd man out with the Buffalo Bills. Florence was released by the team on Friday in what was regarded as a mild surprise after Buffalo spent much of the offseason improving what has been a porous defense. Florence is a nine-year NFL veteran, who had 45 starts in 46 games during a three-year stint with the Bills. He had two years left on his contract and was scheduled to make a base salary of $4 million this season. Florence took the news in stride in a message posted on his Twitter account. He wrote “Business is business,” adding that he's moving on and thanked his fans for their support. The move came a week after the Bills opened the draft by selecting South Carolina cornerback Stephon Gilmore with the 10th pick. Gilmore is expected to step in and immediately compete for a starting job. Buffalo already has plenty of experience in its defensive secondary with returning veterans Terrence McGee and Leodis McKelvin, as well as Aaron Williams, a former second-round pick, who had six starts in nine games as a rookie last season. The Bills also drafted LSU

cornerback Ron Brooks in the fourth round last weekend. General manager Buddy Nix said the decision to release Florence was made to allow other players to develop. “Our defense has gone through a number of changes since the end of the season, and we feel that it's necessary to give these young corners an opportunity to be in the lineup,” Nix said in a statement issued by the team. The Bills gave up a franchise

worst 5,938 yards offense and ranked 30th in the NFL in allowing 434 points. Aside from drafting Gilmore, the Bills made a big splash in shoring up their defense by signing free agent defensive end Mario Williams to a six-year, $100 million contract in March. Florence had seven of his 17 career interceptions with Buffalo. He spent his first five NFL seasons with San Diego, followed by a year in Jacksonville before signing with the Bills in 2009.

KINGS SWIPE BLUES TO ADVANCE continued from pg 7 the series.'' The sellout crowd for Game 4 had barely settled in its seats when Blues defenseman Roman Polak turned over the puck near his own net. Nolan, the 22-year-old son of former Buffalo coach Ted Nolan, scored his first career playoff

passing game, with 175 catches for 1,535 yards and four touchdowns. He's the latest member of the Bills self-dubbed ''No-Name'' offense to be retained by the team after quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, in October, and receiver Stevie Johnson, in March, signed contract extensions. And his new deal comes during a busy offseason in which the Bills signed free-agent defensive end Mario Williams to a six-year, $100 million contract in March. The moves have inspired a bona fide belief among the Bills that they have a chance to be competitors next season in a bid to end a 12-

goal just 4:36 in. St. Louis managed just one shot in the first 11 minutes, but evened the score with its second — a rocket from Shattenkirk, who beat Quick for a rare clean goal against the Kings' AllStar goalie. Shattenkirk hadn't scored in the Blues' past seven

playoff games after getting an assist for his first career postseason point in the opener. Brown put the Kings back ahead late in the period when he used Blues defenseman Alex Pietrangelo as a screen for a sneaky shot to beat Elliott. The captain has been a dominant

year playoff drought. ''I'm excited to sign the extension to stay here because I feel like something special is about to go down, and I want to be part of it,'' Jackson said. Fitzpatrick was so excited by the latest move, he showed up at the news conference wearing a T-shirt featuring Jackson and the slogan the running back has earned in Buffalo: ''Fred-Ex Delivers.'' ''For him to be locked up here for years to come is awesome,'' Fitzpatrick said. ''He obviously means a lot to our team, he means a lot to the city of Buffalo and the fans.'' Jackson's past has been an inspiration to his teammates, and a reason why he's regarded as one of the Bills' unquestioned leaders. Undrafted coming out of college, Jackson spent two years at the arena football league level, where he was a star for Sioux City of the U.S. Indoor Football League before catching the Bills attention. He spent the 2006 season on Buffalo's practice squad before making the active roster the following year. Jackson got his chance to shine during the 2009 season when an injury sidelined starter Marshawn Lynch. Though at 31, Jackson is regarded as old by NFL running back standards, he's comparatively fresh because of his late start. And a new contract isn't going to change his mindset, especially considering he's coming off an injury. ''I'm here to prove to myself that this is where I belong,'' said Jackson, who has been cleared for practice. ''It'll be another challenge, and I love challenges, so I look forward to getting out there and continuing to play well.''

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — A five-minute YouTube video was enough to make quarterback Alex Tanney an overnight sensation for displaying his uncanny accuracy. Tanney created a big buzz last year in the self-titled “Trick Shot Quarterback” video by showing he can hit a receiver in a moving vehicle and throw footballs from across the court and swish them into basketball nets. He even banged a pass off the crossbar of an upright from 50 yards out — from his knees. Now the Division III Monmouth College (Ill.) product will provide the Buffalo Bills a firsthand look to see whether he has a future in the NFL. After being passed up in the draft last weekend, Tanney has accepted an invitation to take part in the Bills' three-day rookie minicamp that opens May 11. “I'm from a small school, and the only thing I've ever really wanted was an opportunity to get into a camp,” the 23-yearold said by phone this week. “And now I have that in Buffalo, so I'm anxious to get out there and compete for a spot.” Turns out, the Bills weren't the only team interested in the 6-foot-4, 220-pound quarterback who set an NCAA record with 157 touchdown passes over a five-year career with the Fighting Scots. Tanney initially agreed to

physical force throughout the postseason, but he hadn't scored a goal since Game 3 of the first round. Afterward, Hitchcock acknowledged Pietrangelo is playing with a serious injury, but wouldn't disclose the specifics. Pietrangelo missed Game

attend the Pittsburgh Steelers' rookie camp, but changed his mind after Buffalo extended an invite. He made the switch because he felt Buffalo was a better fit. Noting that Bills were among the first teams to contact him this offseason, Tanney added that he's spoken to Buffalo's new quarterback coach David Lee on several occasions. He's also aware that the team's No. 3 position is unfilled behind starter Ryan Fitzpatrick and backup Tyler Thigpen. If one thing's for certain, Tanner's accuracy shouldn't be an issue. In the video, Tanney bounces a pass off the floor into a trash barrel. He even threads a pass blind from the floor of the gymnasium up through a hallway and into a trash barrel on the floor of the school's adjacent running track. The video has received more than 1.1 million hits since Tanney and his friends posted it in February 2011, and led to him attracting national attention. Tanney showed off his throwing ability while featured on an episode of “Stan Lee's Superhumans” on the History Channel. It also led to numerous television interviews, including ones in Japan, Israel, Argentina and Chile. Tanney would rather play down his YouTube popularity and instead focus on what he did on the field. “The success and the numbers

I put up speak for themselves rather than the YouTube video,” he said. “But obviously, that's what people are going to talk about.” In 47 games, he completed 68.6 percent of his passes going 1,205 for 1,756 with only 30 interceptions. He threw for 300 yards 32 times and finished with a Division III record 14,249 yards passing. Add it up, by NFL standards, Tanney finished with a 115.8 passer rating. And yet, he accepts his instant celebrity. “We really didn't expect it to take off like it did. It kind of blew up,” Tanney said. “We had fun with it. It was a good experience. But I kind of think that's past me. I'm just looking forward to getting my shot in the NFL.” The son of a longtime football coach, Tanney has been a quarterback since he started playing. He figures he was overlooked by Division I programs because he played for a tiny high school that had only 170 students. And though he was hoping to be drafted, Tanney understood the possibility was unlikely. That makes him even more driven to succeed. “I've had a chip on my shoulder basically throughout high school, college, coming from small schools and wanting to prove to people what I have,” Tanney said. “I'm anxious to get out to Buffalo and see what I can do there.”

St. Louis again dominated early in the third, and Matt D'Agostini's deflected shot barely caught Quick's crossbar early on. During 4-on-4 play a few minutes later, David Perron nearly scored on a rebound before Kopitar slid into the crease and knocked the puck underneath Quick.

Good Start To Season For Turkey Hunters By Steve Peacock Star Outdoors Writer

The spring turkey season has gotten off to a good, productive start. The season is open for the entire month of May during which you can only hunt until noon each day. I believe they end it at noon to lessen the chances of killing a hen. The guys I talked to told me that the turkeys have been responding well to hunter’s calls. I usually only get out turkey hunting a couple times each spring. I would rather go fishing this time of the year. That’s exactly what I did last weekend even though I might

have been better off to go hunting. Some friends and I went out on Lake Erie on Saturday and pretty quickly decided the lake was too rough. Sunday morning the lake was much flatter and we poked around trying to find some perch. We really never found the perch and we only caught a couple. So we moved in to shallower water where we had done pretty well on walleye last year. After a short time of fishing, the lake kicked up and we decided it was time to go in. But, not before we caught a few bass, which was great, but I would have rather found some walleyes.

The only walleyes that I have heard about were caught in relatively shallow water and caught at night. I have not tried trolling at night yet but I definitely want to go give it a try. Speaking of, fishing at night reminds me about the catfish that are now being caught out of the Cattaraugus Creek. I hear the bite has been really good this spring and there have been a lot of guys still there from the night before when we were headed out in the morning. May has so many out doors activities that I cannot possibly get to do all of the stuff I would like to. Good luck out there and maybe I’ll see you on the lake

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Bass Season Opens

Contributed Article

Department of Environmental Conservation

The special black bass season is in effect on Lake Erie and its tributaries up to first impassible barrier only. Anglers can use natural/ live bait and keep one bass per day, with a minimum size of 20 inches during the special bass season. Bass fishing on all other waters in western New York is by catch and release only, artificial lures only until the 3rd Saturday in June. Tiger muskellunge season also opens on May 5th on the inland waters where they occur. Tiger muskellunge season remains closed on Lake Erie, Niagara River and Lake Ontario until 3rd Saturday in June.

KENTUCKY DERBY continued from pg 6 Baffert, a five-time Preakness winner, plans to keep his two Derby runners, Bodemeister and Liaison, along with Paynter, at Churchill before deciding next weekend whether to take on I'll Have Another in Baltimore. “I will let him tell me if he's ready, like I did with Lookin At Lucky,” Baffert said about Bodemeister, who led most of the Derby until getting caught late. In 2010, Lookin At Lucky finished sixth as the Derby favorite and went on to win the Preakness. “With Lookin At Lucky, the day after the Derby I told them, 'We're not going to run,”' Baffert said. “The next Monday I said, 'Not only are

we going, we're going to win this.' I've got to wait and see if he shows me a spark.” Four of the top six places in the Derby went to horses based in Southern California. Besides I'll Have Another and Bodemeister, Creative Cause was fifth and Liaison was sixth. Trainer Michael Matz said he didn't think seventh-place Union Rags, second choice in the Derby betting, would try the Preakness. The colt is based in Fair Hill, Md., about 1 1/2 hours from Pimlico. However, Matz said running in the 1 1/2-mile Belmont on June 9 “would make more sense.” “I feel bad for the horse. He didn't have the chance to show his true ability,” Matz said.

MARINATTO continued from pg 6 chapter of our evolution.” The news caught some member schools by surprise. Connecticut Athletic Director Warde Manuel said he was shocked to learn of the resignation Monday, but said it will not affect his school's affiliation with the Big East. ''Our relationship is with the conference, and we'll look forward to working with the leadership in the conference to move forward,'' Manuel said. Connecticut provided Marinatto with some of the conferences biggest moments during his tenure, winning national championships in men's basketball in 2011 and in women's basketball in 2009 and 2010. But UConn had been actively exploring the possibility of joining the Atlantic Coast Conference or another con-

ference after the moves by Syracuse and Pittsburgh. Manuel said Monday that UConn has no current plans to leave. ''I'm happy in the Big East,'' he said. ''That's where we're going to stay and compete and do what we do.'' Former Miami Dolphins CEO Joseph Bailey III will serve as interim commissioner. The search for a permanent replacement will be chaired Gregory Williams, the president of the University of Cincinnati and a member of the Big East executive committee. Marinatto became the third commissioner of the Big East on July 1, 2009. He had served as the conference's senior associate commissioner since 2002 and spent 14 years as the athletic director at Providence College. ''John helped build the Big

HARPER VS. HAMELS continued from pg 6 really, really small and you didn't say anything because that's the way baseball is," Hamels said. "But I think unfortunately the league's protecting certain players and making it not that old-school, prestigious way of baseball," he said. In other words, Hamels said, "It's just, 'Welcome to the big leagues.' "

Harper quickly evened the score with Hamels. After taking third on a single, Harper broke for the plate when Hamels made a pickoff throw to first. Harper stole home, sliding in safely for the first swipe of his eight-game big league career. "I think he kind of did that for me," Hamels said. Harper brushed off Hamels'

hooked into a large catfish. The lower section of Cattaraugus Creek and near the mouth of Eighteenmile Creek are good locations. Shore anglers can also target catfish along the Lake Erie shoreline on calm nights, especially near stream inlets. Chautauqua Lake Good concentrations of crappie have been tough to locate, but yellow perch are readily available in most areas and catches are good. Fishing with minnows in 8-15 feet of water is a good bet for perch. Smallmouth bass catches have been decent for anglers running stickbaits over the weeds in 8-10 feet of water. Walleye season opens on Saturday. Chautauqua anglers traditionally target early season walleye at night. Boaters can troll outside weed edges with stickbaits and worm harnesses or drift and work jigs with nightcrawlers or leeches. Shore anglers can do well casting stickbaits, especially in areas near stream inlets. Upper Niagara River Yellow perch catches are still available at shore sites along the City of Buffalo, such as Broderick Park, Squaw Island, Ontario Street boat launch and the adjacent walkway running north of the launch. Boat anglers also target perch in the stretch north of the Ontario Street launch. Emerald shiners are top bait or perch. The harbors, marinas and inlets are good spots to target sunfish, yellow perch and largemouth bass. Bluegill and crappie can be taken on emerald shiners and worms. Bass fishing is by catch and release only, artificial lures only in Niagara River north of Peace Bridge. Inland Trout Streams The area's streams are in good shape with moderate to slightly higher flows. Some of the larger streams could still be a bit murky. Hatches are on the light side with mostly bluewinged olives and caddisflies showing. Fly anglers do well with imitation dry flies and with nymphs such as stoneflies, scuds, pheasant tails and caddisflies. Spinning anglers do well with worms, salted minnows and small inline spinners. If you are a catch and release angler and use spinners, it is a good idea to outfit your spinners with a single hook rather than a treble hook.

I touched on that the other day. If I could boo myself, I'd do it myself, too. “But don't blame the fans. If you want to blame somebody, blame me because I'm a big guy and I

can take it. I'm not performing the way everybody's expecting, but the season isn't only 27 games. You play 162 games, and they're going to cheer us more than they're going to boo us.” The home run drew a reaction far away, too. Several of his former St. Louis teammates were watching on television in the clubhouse after a win at Houston, and they clapped and cheered loudly when Pujols connected on Hutchison's slider. “My slider was pretty effective today, other than the one I hung to him,” Hutchison said. “I was trying to bounce it in the dirt and I didn't execute it. When you don't execute your pitches, things like that happen.” Pujols had not homered in the regular season since Sept. 22. He began the game batting .194 with five RBIs. His longest homer drought prior to this was in 2011, when he came up empty in 27 straight games and 105 at-bats. Previously, his longest home

run drought at the start of a season was in 2008, when he failed to hit one in his first eight games and 27 at-bats. “Man, it's a relief for him and I'm pretty sure it's a relief for us,” Hunter said. “We don't have to hear about Albert having a goose egg no more. I'm happy that he got this lifted off of him. Now he can go out there and just swing the bat and have fun.” Jerome Williams (3-1) allowed three runs and eight hits in 6 2-3 innings. The right-hander gave up an unearned run in the seventh after Pujols — a two-time Gold Glove winner — committed his first error of the season with a bad throw to second. Angels lefty Scott Downs injured himself trying to avoid a line-drive single through the box by J.P. Arencibia with one out in the ninth and was replaced by LaTroy Hawkins. Hawkins turned Omar Vizquel's line drive into a gameending double play for his first save with the Angels.

Insider By T.J. TOMASI

TEEING OFF

Success earned, not inherited

There is no doubt that golf is a difficult game, but do you have to be born with superstar reflexes, the eyesight of an eagle and the strength of an NFL lineman to be a champion? Not according to Matthew Syed, a former Olympic table tennis player who has written a book, “Bounce,” in which he makes the case that success is more a matter of good instruction, a superior place to practice and the will to work hard than it is a heaping helping of inborn talent. Basically, he’s saying that it’s not so much genetics as it is “epigenetics,” and he uses as an example Olympic skaters who fall more in practice than lesser skaters: “The reason is they are always pushing themselves, they are attempting jumps that are at the outer limits of their capabilities. It’s a branch of science called ‘epigenetics’ — the brain is re-wired as we practice.” In 1953, researchers James Watson and Francis Crick made one of science’s most important discoveries: how genetic information is passed from one human to another with DNA. It is indeed wondrous how we know to make a nose and not a knee, but there is one drawback to the process: It is slow — too slow to ensure that humans can adjust to fast-changing environments. Thus, in addition to DNA, there is a fasttrack avenue of chemical switches that turns your genes on and off to foster timedependent adaptation — more stopwatch than sundial. This process is one reason that identical twins can look different as they age — it’s nature plus nurture. Epigenomes respond to the outside world based on things like stress, diet and, of course, golf practice. Certainly, you are your DNA, but that’s only half the story — the other half is where hard work, a good environment and practice come in.

BIRDIES AND BOGEYS

IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME

Track it back to correct error Fixing your golf swing sounds easy — all you do is identify the fault and fix it. But there is one more step you can’t leave out: Find the cause. Below is a common problem called the chicken wing, where your lead elbow juts out in an attempt to prevent the club from flipping over through impact (see second photo). In this case, since I know the player’s swing, I can tell you that at address, his grip is too strong. And when the club slows down at the top, you can see the result — the clubface is shut in the hook position (see arrow). There are good players such as Dustin Johnson and Graeme McDowell who play with

a shut face, ABOUT THE WRITER but most Dr. T.J. golfers don’t Tomasi is a teaching do well. And professional it doesn’t in Port St. take but a Lucie, Fla. Visit his few snap website at hooks before tjtomasi.com. anyone with an ounce of talent chicken-wings to keep the face open. Being able to identify and then fix the cause of a problem is why a good teacher gets the big bucks. The Takeaway: The chicken-wing error occurs through impact, yet the cause is far away at address. If you can’t fix your problem, maybe you’re looking in the wrong place.

Butch Harmon doesn’t like Hank Haney’s tell-all book about Tiger: “It almost seems the way he has everything documented in there — too many times and dates and places that you wouldn’t come up with from memory,” Harmon says. “It’s like he kept precise notes all along with writing a book in mind.” Some of my Top 100 Teacher friends don’t care for it, either. Of the five I talked to, all voiced similar criticism of Haney’s tattletale ethics. Teacher Dana Radar says: “My opinion is writing a book or article about someone without their consent seems very wrong to me. I also hate to see a coach talk about a former student. I think that is like a doctor talking about a former patient.” Fellow Top 100 Teacher Kellie Stenzel agrees: “I think that the teacher/student relationship is private time, and I would not personally share any information of my time with my students with others.”

Let’s wait before calling Bubba ‘great’

As the arrow shows, the clubface points at the sky in a shut position, a harbinger of the pull and pull hook.

You fix this fault by tracing the chain of error back to the root of problem — otherwise, it will never go away.

GOLF BY THE NUMBERS Tiger-2000 was a great ball-striker and his stats in the “ball striking” categories (distance and accuracy) on the PGA Tour tell the story. In 1997 (his first year on tour), Tiger was No. 4; No. 1 in 1998, 1999 and 2000; No. 12 in 2001; and No. 2 in 2002. Today, with the presence of a radar tracking system called TrackMan, there are stats available that weren’t even dreamed of 12 years ago. But my bet is that Tiger-2000 would have led the pack just as he did in the ones they did measure. Below are several of these new-age stats, as well as Tiger-2012’s current standings — and it’s not pretty. • Ratio of ball speed to clubhead speed on Par 4 and Par 5 tee shots. Tiger is ranked No. 130. • Total driver efficiency: This stat is the player’s combined rank of carry efficiency and total distance efficiency.

Tiger is No. 157. • Distance efficiency: The ratio of a player’s average total distance and his average swing speed. This creates a ratio of yards per mile per hour. Tiger is No. 168. • Carry efficiency: The ratio of a player’s average carry distance and his average swing speed. Tiger is No. 129. The overall numbers tell us that his swing today is not efficient, his short game has deteriorated to normal, and his golf brain — his strongest asset — is scrambled. The most telling stat of all, in my estimation, is bounce back (making an under-par score after a bogey or worse), where he is No. 170. That shows he’s giving up when he believes he’s out of the hunt — a fatal mental flaw much more damaging than his swing flaws.

THE GOLF DOCTOR

Clothes make the man … and the golfer You have probably heard of the “white coat effect,” where just being in the doctor’s office causes an increase in your blood pressure. And we’ve all heard that “the clothes make the man (and the woman),” but now from Adam D. Galinsky, a professor at Northwestern University, comes a study from a new area called “embodied cognition” — noting the effects of clothing on cognitive processes. So what happens if you’re in the doctor’s office and you see a white coat hanging on the hook behind the door with a stethoscope in the pocket? If you put it on, you’ll feel more “doctor-like.” The research also proved it’s no good just seeing the coat hanging there — you must wear the coat to get the effect. Galinsky thinks it has something to do with the coat’s symbolic meaning — i.e., the doctor is in when the coat is on. Other studies show that if a person lugs around a heavy clipboard, they feel more important. When I teach, I always wear a large cowboy hat, which some of my students call the “Hat of Knowledge.” While it’s more for protection from the sun, I actually do feel more intelligent when it’s on. And Tiger-2000 felt more confident when he wore his trademark red shirt on tournament Sundays. And the color

makes a difference. According to a study in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, women are more attracted to men in red than in any other color, finding them more attractive, powerful and successful. Fifteen years ago, I had lunch with one of the best players in the world, and during the conversation he offered me several of the shirts his sponsor had sent him. I asked him what size he wore and he said extra-large, which was two sizes bigger than I wore, so I said no thanks. According to embodied cognition, I made a huge mistake. Even though they would have been a little loose, think how good I might have played with a champion’s shirt on — and suppose the shirt had been red? The Takeaway: When you play golf, always dress for success — and even if it doesn’t bring success, you’ll still be the bestdressed failure in your foursome. The Hat of Knowledge at work.

ASK THE PRO

One magazine touted “When Greatness Calls” after Bubba Watson won the Masters. But where were all the experts who “clearly” saw Bubba’s genius prior to the Masters? How did they miss this genius? Here is my contrarian view: Maybe they couldn’t see his genius before because it isn’t there. He’s a good player, but not yet a great player — we need to wait on that one. Due to its weak fields, wide fairways and short par fives, the Masters has had more than its share of flukes, and it’s possible that Bubba is just another in that long line that includes Bob Goalby, George Archer, Charles Coody, Tommy Aaron, Gay Brewer, Zach Johnson and Trevor Immelman. Remember, they are calling Bubba the next great player, and one major and three wins does not rate as great. One article compared him to Sam Snead, winner of 84 PGA events — Bubba, almost 34 years old, is 165th on tour in putting! The Takeaway: I hope he does become one of the greats — we need one to replace the one I fear we lost after Tiger hit the hydrant. QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“I know everyone has a job to do, and I get it … but it has just gotten to the point where the tearing down of Tiger as a person and a golfer has become just too much. I think it is just out of hand.” — Sean Foley Tiger’s current teacher Insider Take: Tiger was a treasure so important that his father predicted Tiger would change the entire world, not just golf. Then Tiger threw it all away, and we’re sad and mad that a gift can be so roughly treated. So I don’t think Sean Foley does, in fact, “get it.”

WHAT SCIENCE SAYS

Follow LAWs to learn golf Q: I’m just beginning and I wonder about a good swing book that would tell me all about the swing I should learn. Any suggestions? — G.T., via the Web A: Well, asking an author of golf books which book is best is like asking the rabbit to deliver the lettuce. But I’ll be perfectly impartial here and recommend my book, “The LAWs of the Golf Swing,” where I divide players into three prototypical body classifications: Leverage Players, who have balanced body characteristics; Arc Players, who are

Tattle-tale ethics

long-limbed and thin-chested; and Width Players, who are short-limbed with big chests. Then I outline three basic swing types: Leverage, Arc and Width (thus the LAWs) that match the three body types, along with their specific mechanics, including grip, takeaway, etc. Take the test at www.tjtomasi.com to find out what body type you are and which swing mechanics you should practice.

Apnea and your golf game New research by Dr. Marc L. Benton from the Atlantic Sleep and Pulmonary Associates in Madison, N.J., shows that golfers who undergo treatment for sleep apnea may improve their golf game as well as their overall health. Dr. Benton says, “More so than many sports, golf has a strong intellectual component, with on-course strategizing, focus and endurance being integral components to achieving good play.” You would think that getting

rid of a life threat like sleep apnea would be enough incentive on its own, but the research suggests that the possibility of improving your golf game may be a significant motivator to follow the treatment protocols. The study showed that golfers with sleep apnea who used an intervention called “nasal positive airway pressure” lowered their golf handicap significantly. To paraphrase Shakespeare: “To sleep perchance to lower my handicap.”

Rhimes time

Hit hospital finales promise big changes By Dee Wright TV Media

any of us get personally invested in the series we watch. We put ourselves in the shoes of our favorite characters -- we feel their joy and pain as if we’ve been friends, family and lovers for our whole lives. When rumors circulate that one or a few of these friends could be getting hurt -- or worse, killed -- in the near future, we can’t help but feel loss and remorse. ABC’s hit medical series “Private Practice” and its parent series “Grey’s Anatomy” finish their seasons this week, and the entertainment world is abuzz with rumors about how the tear-jerking shows will end. Creator and series writer Shonda Rhimes is known for her heartwrenching plot lines and genuine characters who reach the audience in a way that many never thought possible. “Private Practice” closes on Tuesday, May 15, and fans are waiting with bated breath about how the episode will play out. The episode title, “Gone Baby Gone” has many speculating that Amelia (Caterina Scorsone) may lose the baby she’s carrying, or that Addison will exhaust the last of her options to become a mother. Sam struggles to cope with the impend-

Kate Walsh stars in “Private Practice” ing death of Mason’s mother, Erica, which would leave him as the sole caregiver for Mason. In a recent special, creator Rhimes dismissed the rumor that Sam may get fatally shot. “There are a lot of twists and turns in that finale,” she told TVLine at an Academy of Television Arts & Sciences event, “An Evening with Shonda Rhimes and Friends.” “There’s just a real sense of growth for our characters, a sense of change. A lot of things come to a head that I don’t know people were necessarily expecting to, and that’s exciting. There are some real heartbreaking moments and some surprises. There are many developments romantically.” The doctors at Seattle Grace finish their season two days later when “Grey’s Anatomy” wraps up

on Thursday, May 17. That episode title, “Flight”, has stirred up even more rumors, and photos from the tapings show several characters at an airport, spawning discussion of a tragic plane crash. Rhimes recently added fuel to the fire when she revealed that at least one of the cast members will not be returning for Season 9. According to WetPaint.com, eight of the main actors -- including Ellen Pompeo, Patrick Dempsey and Sandra Oh -- are at the ends of their contracts, and there’s no word yet about any new deals. One of the show’s storylines has several of the doctors applying for fellowships around the country, which leaves the gates open for their departure or return. Dempsey stated in an interview with the Italian “Vanity Fair” that Season 8 will be his last appearance on the “Grey’s” set, but the fate of the other players is still up in the air. “It’s gonna be my last. I do not know what’s going to happen to the other characters, but for me it’s done,” he said. “Leaving will be bittersweet because it has been a great part of my life. But I can’t see me doing it anymore.” With the departure of at least one of the major players on “Grey’s,” there will likely be some new cast members joining the roster for next season.

ew things are more difficult than saying goodbye. But that’s just what fans of ABC’s groundbreaking prime-time soap opera “Desperate Housewives” will have to do when the show wraps up after eight seasons on Sunday, May 13. The show follows a close-knit group of women who live seemingly-perfect lives in a suburb of the fictional American town of Fairview. Things may look idyllic from the outside, but viewers have delighted in a peek behind the scandalous closed doors in the neighborhood. The deceased Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong), who died in the very first episode of the show, narrates and provides insights into her former neighbors’ lives. Teri Hatcher leads the ensemble cast as relatable hopeless romantic Susan, while Marcia Cross can be seen as perfectionist Bree. Felicity Huffman won a 2004 Emmy for her portrayal of dedicated mom Lynette. Eva Longoria rounds out the main cast as Latina beauty Gabrielle (Gaby). Vanessa Williams joined the cast in Season 7 as Lynette’s best friend from college, Renee. Their affairs, hardships and scandals have entertained viewers for years, and now it’s coming to an end. Although little detail is known about the plot of the finale, snapshots from the set on the day of its filming surfaced on the Internet and provided a hint: Lynette was dressed up as an elderly lady, leading some to speculate that the finale would jump into the future. It’s not unheard of for “Housewives”

“Desperate Housewives” ends this week after eight stellar seasons to jump ahead -- Season 5 picked up the storylines five years later, even though there were only five months between seasons in real time. On theinsider.com, series creator Marc Cherry indicated he knew where the series was going from the very beginning. “The last act, which I’ve had in my head for seven and a half years, is absolutely what we’re going to do,” he said earlier this year. He may have had the plot in mind for years, but there’s no way he could have known what a trend setter “Desperate Housewives” would become. The show premiered in 2004, when the notion of a prime-time soap opera seemed hopelessly blasé. Networks hadn’t trod through that territory in a while, though shows such as “Dallas,” “Dynasty” and “Knots Landing” were hugely popular in the 1980s. Still, the concept seemed a tough sell to audiences, especially considering the most recent prime-time soap suc-

cesses focused on the lives of young people in such ‘90s series as “Beverly Hills, 90210” and “Melrose Place.” As far-fetched as a dark comedy about a group of dissatisfied suburban housewives may have seemed, it was a phenomenal hit from the get-go. In the beginning, “Desperate Housewives” drew comparisons to such iconic series as “Sex and the City” and “Twin Peaks,” and even the successful 1999 film “American Beauty.” As a result, the show’s debut attracted more than 21 million viewers and marked a turning point for a faltering ABC. Things just got better from there on out and the season finale drew an audience of more than 30 million. “Desperate Housewives” came at a key point in soap-opera history. Gone were the days of daytime dramas dominating the airwaves, with fans taking time off work to tune in, or sneaking off to catch the latest plot twist on a break. The popularity of daytime soaps has

Solution on page 5 plummeted in the past decade, which has seen the demise of such television mainstays as “Guiding Light” and “As the World Turns,” two of the longest-running programs in TV history. However, the success of “Desperate Housewives” has sparked a new trend in prime time. ABC in particular has had great luck with such soap-esque formats, dabbling in the medical dramas “Private Practice” and “Grey’s Anatomy.”

The network’s latest foray into prime-time soap operas -- Wednesday night’s “Revenge” -- has attracted an army of loyal viewers, who tune in to watch protagonist Emily Thorne wreak havoc in the Hamptons. The CW has also jumped on the prime-time soap bandwagon with “Gossip Girl,” Sarah Michelle Gellar’s “Ringer” and, most recently “The L.A. Complex,” a Canadian import from CTV.

StarsonScreen By Dee Wright and Sheila Busteed TV Media WRITE AND WRONG: Ernest Hemingway has been credited as one of the greatest writers of all time, but few know the story of the man behind the books. On Monday, May 28, HBO will air its exclusive original film about the tumultuous marriage of Hemingway and his third wife, Martha Gellhorn. Together, Hemingway and Gellhorn endured war, scandal and social disruption, though they were only married for a short time. The Nobel Prize-winning author is known for his works “The Old Man and the Sea” and “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” the latter of which is said to have been written for Gellhorn. “Hemingway & Gellhorn” stars Oscar winner Nicole Kidman and Academy Award nominee Clive Owen as the star-crossed lovers, but the talent in this special film goes much deeper than its leads -- David Strathairn, Lars Ulrich, Rodrigo Santoro, Molly Parker, Peter Coyote, Tony Shal-

houb and Parker Posey all have supporting roles. The tale begins in 1936, just after Hemingway left his wife and son to move to Spain and create a documentary about fascism. He soon falls in love with one of the others on the project -- a budding journalist and writer who impresses Hemingway with her strong values and sense of morals. “Women like Martha Gellhorn were trailblazers who did things that weren’t the norm,” said Kidman. “[She] changed what professions women could aspire to; who changed the world. I think I’ll always seek out those women to play them, if given the chance.”

LIGHT OF LOVE: The television marketplace has been flooded with a plethora of dating shows over the years. Interestingly, this has mirrored the real-life trend of entrepreneurs offering new and unique ways to help clients make love connections, such as speed dating, matchmaking websites and even singles’ vacation packages. Starting next month, Fox is throwing another option into the mix and has hired a top-notch entertainer to act as the love-match ringmaster. George Lopez has signed on to host “Take Me Out,” which will debut on the network on Thursday, June 7. “Take Me Out” is based on the British version of the game show of the same name. Ireland recently got its own version as well, and both are based on the concept of the original Australian program “Taken Out.” For the American edition, 30 single women meet a group of bachelors one by one and ask them questions to determine if they’re interested in dating any of the guys. If the women aren’t interested, they turn off a light at their podium. After the group is whittled down, it’s the lucky bachelor’s turn to eliminate the women to whom he isn’t attracted. In the final round, the bachelor asks the remaining two women one last question and then chooses which lady he’ll have join him on a fantasy date. The remaining 29 women will be joined by one new female contestant for the next game.

THIRSTY FOR MORE: The popular film plot of a kid facing his fears -- and giving thieving adults a good beating in the process -- is being reimagined for a new generation. Production has commenced north of the border in Winnipeg on the fifth film in the “Home Alone” franchise. While the plot borrows a lot from the original 1990 movie, fans will be glad to hear that this isn’t just a remake, nor is it using the same lead character made famous by Macaulay Culkin. The film, which is being produced by Fox Television Studios, will premiere on ABC Family later this year as part of its annual “25 Days of Christmas” programming

event. This seems suitable since the other films take place during the holiday season, but the addition of a ghostly element in this new project suggests it would be better suited for the network’s “13 Nights of Halloween” event. In the upcoming film, titled “Home Alone 5: Alone in the Dark,” a young boy named Finn (played by Christian Martyn) moves from California to Maine with his family, but Finn is convinced that the scary new house is haunted. While their parents are stuck on the other side of town, Finn and his sister (Jodelle Ferland) set traps to catch the spirits but end up snaring a group of thieves instead.

Chelsea plans to upset Munich at home

By Joel Duplessis TV Media

he eyes of the soccer world will be fixated on Munich this week, as the UEFA Champions League Final kicks off on Saturday, May 19, to cap off what’s been a fantastic tournament. Bayern Munich will clash with Chelsea in an unlikely matchup that has grown into one of the most anticipated finals in recent memory. There’s no greater prize in professional soccer than winning the Champions League title, and this week Bayern Munich will become the first team since 1084 to play the final in front of their home crowd. In many ways, the Champions League Final can be described as the European version of the Super Bowl. League champions throughout Europe, Scandinavia and Russia enter the tournament to decide which club team is the best in the world. The final game is one of the most anticipated soccer games of 9:30 a.m.

the year and is perennially the most watched sporting event worldwide. With storylines aplenty surrounding the Bayern Munich-Chelsea matchup, this year will be no different. Bayern is in the final because of a win in penalty kicks against Real Madrid, while Chelsea’s 2-2 draw against defending champion, Barcelona, put them through 3-2 on aggregate. Chelsea knocked off the world’s best team in dramatic fashion, overcoming a 2-0 deficit to earn a tie -- giving them the point that sent them to the final. Chelsea enters the final with plenty of momentum and nothing to lose. Nobody expected them to be here, and now they’re gunning for an epic upset. Bayern is the consensus favorite because the team possesses a more talented roster, and they have the benefit of the home crowd. It will be interesting to see how Bayern handles the pressure of playing a game of this magnitude before their home crowd – a game everyone expects them to win.
