by no means, a stellar student. I focused on work and extracurricular activities a lot more than my classes, and of course; my graduating GPA reflected that. But college did teach me how to prioritize, how to balance workloads and how to differentiate between the things that really mattered and the things that I could do without. Four years of higher education, without a doubt, prepared me for the ‘real world,’ just maybe not in the way I expected. When I went to college, my attitude toward life and faith was rather laissez-faire. I believed what I believed, and who cares about anyone who disagrees with it. My pompous attitude got me into trouble more than once, and burnt a few bridges along the way.
Since then, I’ve endeavored to be softer with people. My heart is not to beat people over the head, but rather to live and let them ask questions. If they want to know how, why or what, I’d gladly share. Since entering the professional world, I’ve noticed something about college grads. See, we were taught that we had something to bring to the table, that the world was better off because we were in it. While I don’t necessarily disagree with that, college students are taught to be far from humble upon graduation. Know what you have to offer, and make sure everyone else knows it too. I’ve interviewed many people over my time at Star Media for a variety of positions, and I can always tell those
who’ve worked in the real world and those who are fresh out of college. The latter are filled with misdirected ambition, and leave no room for correction. I don’t have the time to deal with that attitude. So, yes, I gained a lot from college. It was real world experience in a small bubble of reality, but I was grounded in my hometown before I experienced it. Had I not had my home, my church, my family, my friends, I know the results would’ve been vastly, and detrimentally, different. Here’s the next five years. I’ve learned more about life, more about self and more about faith in the past few years than in my entire existence. Five years ago, I had no wife, no kids, and a part time job. I’m thankful for my college years, and what they taught me. My hope is that college students everywhere graduate with humble expectations. Not low ones, just humble ones. There’s a difference.

Alana Jewel This week we are featuring all our “Scratch and Dent” pets! These are all wonderful pets that might not be perfect, but are perfectly great! We have a cat with one eye, one with a kinked tail, a couple that are shy, a dog that needs a home with no small children, and dogs that can’t live with cats or that might prefer female owners. All adoption fees are waived for our “slightly irregular” fur-babies looking for that perfect home that sees their inner beauty. We are working hard to find homes for these pets, because these pets deserve a home just as much as every pet does. Stop in at the Adoption Center at 2825 Strunk Road in Jamestown and see who is waiting for you! For more information or questions, call (716) 665-2209 ext. 0.

Prendergast Library will not hold its big annual book sale this year, but donations are still welcome and customers are encouraged to shop at a daily book sale that began last fall.

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
I don't know about your household, but I can speak on behalf of my household and say that we always have bananas. The number of bananas on our kitchen counter has been the determining factor on whether or not we need to get groceries many times. Everyone in our house is a banana eater is some way, shape or form. Until the recent hot weather, every banana was eaten before becoming an eligible candidate for banana bread. Or, in other words; brown and squishy. But as mentioned above, this beautiful weather of late has made for some not so beautiful bananas. Although it's a little sad to see bananas turn brown, it's definitely not sad knowing that
means that there is banana bread in our near future. If your bananas share the same fate as ours - trash or bread - then I suggest that you try out this recipe to rescue your beloved produce.

the size. Make sure to grease your pans well! Mash bananas well, using a potato masher or a fork. A mixer could be used, but in my experience it has made the bananas too runny. Using either a medium mixing bowl or a stand mixer, combine eggs, bananas, sugar, and oil or butter. Mixture should remain lumpy. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing well. The batter will degrees.

ALERT - NO-FAULT BENEFITS UNDER ATTACK
• If you have been injured in an auto accident, New York State Law requires the insurance carrier for the vehicle you were in to cover your related medical expenses and any lost wages (Insurance Law Section 5103).
• Recently, many insurance carriers are attempting to avoid this legal duty by paying biased doctors, often from outside the area, to support them in cutting off these important benefits.

CAMPBELL & SHELTON LLP has taken the following steps to protect our clients: • We will send an investigator to any suspicious exams and videotape the physician. • We will sue any insurance carrier who denies our clients their benefits without a valid basis (we recently obtained a judgment against Allstate for a client’s unpaid benefits, costs and interest). For these and many other reasons, if you are injured in an automobile accident you need experienced and capable legal representation as soon as possible.

“Show & Tell,” an event replicated all across the country, is coming to Chautauqua County on Wednesday, May 21 to the historic Red House in Cassadaga at 7 p.m. The public is invited to bring old photos, letters, family mementos, or even an ancient artifact to show and tell the stories behind
Historian Patricia Pihl will host the event in celebration of May as personal history month. “Everyone remembers when they hauled a treasured possession to school and told their friends why they loved it so much,” states Pihl. “Well, now they have the chance to share on a whole different level with Show & Tell for grown-ups.” “Grown-Up Show &
Tell,” events are happening across North America and abroad in partnership with the Association of Personal Historians (APH). The event will be of interest to all who love history, value their heritage or have an interesting story to share, says Pihl, founder of Real Life Legacies. Perhaps it’s an old letter parents wrote to one another during the War or maybe an instrument passed down
through generations. The possibilities are endless. Participants are invited to speak about their item for a few minutes, and answer questions from others. Anyone is welcome to join in the fun and become part of the conversation. Participants don’t have to show and tell–they can just look and listen. Those in attendance will also have an opportunity to visit The
Red house, a beautiful country manor, which evokes a strong sense of history. Owner Nancy Wickmark will say a few words about the house’s current use and its past. The Red House is located at 91 Frisbee Road in Cassadaga. Interested persons may RSVP to Pat at (716) 753-0987 or email pat@reallifelegacies.com. Refreshments will be served. Patricia Pihl is a member of The Association
of Personal Historians and founder of Real Life Legacies, which helps individuals, families and organizations preserve their valuable histories, memories and life stories in book form. Founded in 1995, the Association of Personal Historians is an international organization with about 675 members. APH has 13 Regions and 17 Chapters worldwide.

Cleaning the Closet
By Dodi Kingsfield Contributing Writer
When the temperatures outside warm up and the parkas and winter boots can officially retire, spring cleaning comes to mind. Ridding the house of winter remnants and making way for swimsuits, sundresses and beach balls becomes a welcome activity for the spring time cleaning ritual. Since packing away that pile of snow boots and bulky coats until November seems like a great place to start, why not clean the mudroom closet? Or better yet, any closet, and do something positive for yourself as well. According to Princeton University Neuroscience Institute, “scientists find that physical clutter negatively affects your ability to focus, process information.” By dealing with your closet clutter, you can feel more organized, less stressed and inspired to unclutter other areas in your house or life. This isn’t hoarding or obsessive compulsive behavior to organize, just the classic clutter of a busy family’s coat closet, an on the go teen’s bedroom closet, or a continuously rearranged pantry closet, all in need of de-cluttering and organizing after this particularly long winter. Before attempting to organize a closet, sort the contents first to determine which items should stay and which ones should go. This decision making process can often be the most difficult task involved in cleaning out a closet, particularly when there are emotional attachments to closet items or one has difficulty making quick decisions. A good rule

hangers, stackable boxes, risers or use extra spaces around the house like a spare dresser, filing cabinets, or a nook under the stairs. Bins, baskets or buckets make great organizers for a variety of materials and can be labeled or color coded for easy finding. Use hooks or hangers to create places for hanging purses, scarves, belts and other accessories in useable locations. By creating a place for everything, everything can be put in its place. Organize your closet contents the way that you want it or need it, not how others think it should be. Maybe you want your clothes organized by color, or by type, or into individual outfits. The space needs to function as you would use it so you need to define the organizational style of your closet.

The more time I spend as a pastor, the more I realize how helpless people are apart from the Holy Spirit. The troubles of this life cannot be faced with mere programs and church protocol. Programs and church growth methodology cannot do the job the Holy Spirit was meant to do. The Holy Spirit is the power to deliver us from the ordinary; a term that should never describe the life of a Christian. The life of Peter provides the perfect illustration of the Holy Spirit's ability to radically change our lives.

reads, "But Peter began to curse and to swear, saying, 'I know not this man ( Jesus) of whom you speak.'" The next verse records Peter's despair: "...and when Peter thought about it he wept." Peter's life before his encounter with the Holy Spirit was an existence of insecurity, hopelessness, depression, and struggles to get things right. He was the most average of persons; just like all of us; a perfect candidate for God to display His power. What made Peter any different from Judas? Didn't they both betray Christ? The difference is that Peter didn't let his failure undo the rest of his life. Peter instead listened to the command of the Lord, "...wait in the city of Jerusalem until you be endued with POWER FROM ON HIGH." (Luke 24:49) The Lord knew that failures such as Peter's are due to lack of power. Unlike Judas, Peter positioned himself, surrounded by other believer's, to receive power from Heaven. Far too many believers are living in powerlessness because they don't position themselves to receive. Where has God told you to be? Let me answer: In the House of God crying out with the people of God for
Him to demonstrate His power in our lives; learning His Word from a pastor. Acts 1:8 records the words of Jesus, "But you (Peter was one of the ones being addressed) shall receive POWER after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you..." Acts 2:4 records Peter's dramatic transformation: "And they (Peter included) were all FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance." Peter was never to be the same again. Act chapter 2 records his sermon to the thousands that gathered to witness the display of God's power. Two months before, Peter could not proclaim Christ to a dozen people around a camp fire and now he is preaching to thousands. In Acts chapters 3-5, Peter leads a dramatic healing revival and boldly declares the risen Christ before the foremost religious leaders of his day. Peter is no longer the struggling weak disciple; he is now the product of the Holy Spirit. He is bold and strong and making a difference in the lives of many. Which side of Peter's life do you want to live on?

Smart Living
By Patty Hammond Contributing Writer
dig in
Getting kids to eat more vegetables can be a real challenge. Most vegetables aren’t naturally sweet or salty, two things that draw many of us to specific foods, and some have strong flavors that can take time to learn to appreciate. So, the best thing you can do to build a desire to eat more vegetables more often is to start early. People begin to develop food preferences very early in their lives, especially during the first few years of life, and those preferences often last a lifetime. That’s why you want to make sure you’re offering a variety of vegetables to your very young children as often as possible. If your children are a bit older, take a minute and think about what vegetables you want the children you love to eat more often. Then find ways to make those foods fun to eat. Who ever said mealtimes had to be serious? Let’s face it, one thing all kids love to do is play, so why not let your
child play with their food? There are loads of ways to do that. Think about the success millions of parents have enjoyed by pretending the food on an infant spoon was an airplane as it zoomed into their child’s mouth. That sort of fun doesn’t have to end after children move out of high chairs. Why not do simple things like pretend it’s snowing (grated parmesan cheese) on your broccoli “trees”? Or arrange the food into a design. It could be as simple as an egg shape or a smiley face. If your child loves make believe, make why not make an adventure on their plate? You can develop all sorts of stories for why those vegetables need to race off their plate and into their tummies. Make it a game and use characters they know and love. Think back to the days when every kid wanted to eat their spinach so they could be as strong as Popeye the Sailor. However, while you might use several different vegetables in those designs and adventures, you’ll probably want to
cook most of the vegetables separately before serving them, and you may want the child to help put the design together. That’s because many kids don’t like it when different foods touch, unless they decide the foods should touch. But, probably the very best way to get kids to eat more vegetables is to teach them how to grow vegetables and then to use those vegetables in tasty recipes. Gardens don’t have to be huge undertakings. You can start very small with a small container garden. Just let your child help select seeds, plant them, and then care for the plants throughout the growing season. Then make sure you harvest what you sowed together with your child. Your child will probably be extremely excited to help prepare the vegetables they grew, so let them clean the the vegetables they harvested and do as much of the rest of the food prep work as is reasonable for their age and ability level. Most young kids can scrub a carrot, husk corn, tear lettuce or
snap beans with a just little help. Older kids can do more. Just think about how proud they will be to serve the rest of the family a dish they not only helped grow, but also helped to prepare. Imagine how much more excited they will be to eat thise vegetables. So, make sure you’re making mealtimes fun and involving the children you love in lots of positive experiences with vegetables, including everything from growing, to preparing, serving and eating them. Before you know it, they’ll be clamoring to eat healthy, nutritious foods more often. You can bet the kids in your life will love assembling and eating pizza made with ingredients they grew or selected themselves. You can also easily modify this recipe to include more vegetables, like fresh tomatoes, onions, broccoli, spinach or other family favorites.

Exploring Frank Lloyd Wright In Buffalo And Serenity On Lake Ontario By Susanne Pancher Special to the Star
My theory is a real traveler is able to discover interesting things even in the most unlikely of places. Well, Buffalo probably hasn't made the "top travel destinations" list for a while, but I have been doing some research on it and I thought it's high time to explore Buffalo, the closest American city to Toronto, just south of Niagara Falls and right across the Fort Erie border. So my fellow travel and architecture aficionado Shauna and I headed out early yesterday morning to make the two-hour trek to Buffalo. We picked the Fort Erie border crossing and fortunately it wasn't very busy at all. Approaching the city we immediately took a wrong turn and headed south on Route 5 away from downtown. But we got to see Buffalo's waterfront, which in this area includes a few rather unspectacular marinas and some old run-down industrial buildings. We turned ourselves around and headed back towards the downtown area. Because the tourist information office was closed on Sunday we figured, we'd stop in at the Hampton Inn & Suites Hotel to pick up some tourist brochures and city maps. Another pleasant experience: The lady at the front counter was extremely helpful, provided us with several brochures
Frank Lloyd Wright’s Martin House in Buffalo offers a quick weekend trip for those who enjoy architecture and guided tours.
and a printout of how to get to two of the most important architectural heritage sites in Buffalo: Frank Lloyd Wright's Martin House and his other important Buffalo work, Graycliff Mansion. Having parked the car on Delaware Avenue at about 10:30 a.m., the one thing that struck us immediately was how empty the streets were. There was virtually no pedestrian traffic at all and very few vehicles passing by. We parked our car close to Niagara Square and started our exploration on foot. First on the agenda was the Buffalo City Hall, a monumental Art Deco skyscraper completed in 1931, built of orangehued sandstone with intricate details and colorful ornamentation. We did a little downtown circle and covered a few really interesting buildings. The red color and detailed ornamentation of Louis Sullivan's Guaranty Building really captured our imagination. We passed by St. Paul's Cathedral and past the trolley tracks of Main Street we discovered the Elicott Square
Building. The east entrance to the building was actually open so we went inside. This building was erected in 1896 according to a design by Daniel Burnham, one of Chicago's most famous architects. This building is constructed around a large interior court covered by a glass block ceiling held up by ornamented steel girders. We commented on how similar this design was the one of Chicago's most famous buildings, the "Rookery", and it wasn't until this morning that I realized that both buildings were created by the same architect. It’s an amazingly impressive building with gorgeous sweeping staircases and an intricate mosaic covering the entire courtyard. From the Ellicott Square Building we headed towards the Lafayette Hotel, a handsome red brick and white terra cotta French Renaissancestyle building, which was built in anticipation of the expected influx of visitors at the Pan-American Exposition in 1901. Due to financial difficulties, however, it was not
opened until 1904. From there we checked out the General Electric Tower, a handsome white Terracotta-clad structure dating back to 1912. The Electric Tower happens to be right beside another fascinating building: the Buffalo Savings Bank, a building manifesting Buffalo's boom of the second half of the 19th century. In the late 1890s - the peak of Buffalo's golden age - the bank held a competition for a grand new headquarters. The contest was won by Green & Wicks, Buffalo's premier turnof-the-century architectural firm. Their design projected stability, security, and aspiration. The building's signature feature is the gold-leafed dome. After the Buffalo Savings Bank we explored the Genesee Building which today is the Hyatt Regency Hotel. Just as we finished exploring that building the heavens opened up and there was a torrential downpour so we sat down in front of the Hyatt and took in the street scene. We were facing Main Street,
We had a look inside the impressive lobby, which features French chandeliers from the early 20th century. I took a couple of pictures, but the security guard stopped me, telling me no photography was allowed. We had a really interesting chat after this and he commented on long-standing economic problems of Buffalo and how in his opinion, the current mayor had only made things worse. One example of the city's economic problems is that the stately ballroom of the Statler Hotel had only been recently reopened after having been closed down since 1957. Furthermore, a previous owner of the building had tried to create a food court in the basement and had opened up the main floor, but ran out of money before the food court could be built. So now you have a rather obtrusive opening on the ground floor with a view into an empty basement without stores or food outlets. Our local contact also commented on the reasons why downtown Buffalo was so devoid of people, and he said that all the locals did their shopping at the suburban malls and big warehouse stores. That, combined with the economic woes of the city, has apparently created a flight into the suburbs that has left the city's core rather lifeless on the weekend.
the street that is now a pedestrian zone and accommodates Buffalo's light rail rapid transit line. One thing we consistently noticed in Buffalo was the absence of street-level stores and restaurants. A lot of the modern administrative buildings in Buffalo have a rather austere and non-welcoming feeling and some of the newer buildings dating back to the 50s and later have an almost penitentiary feeling to them. The resulting scarcity of street-level store fronts combined with the utter lack of pedestrians (certainly on the weekend) really gives downtown Buffalo a rather eerie deserted feel, and the absence of people downtown was our most striking impression of Buffalo. Judging from the classically styled street lamps with blooming planters, however, the city appears to have been working on beautifying the downtown core. We started heading back to the car and passed by the Statler Hotel, which isn't really a hotel any more, but apparently a building Continued on page 21 full of lawyer's offices.

Exploring Buffalo and the serenity of lake ontario, continued from page 20 Well, we had to move on to our tour of another architectural jewel, Frank Lloyd Wright's Martin House. Darwin Martin was a high-ranking executive with the Larkin Soap Company and his brother-in-law had encouraged Darwin to seek out Wright's work in Oak Park, a suburb of Chicago. After familiarizing himself with Wright's work, he brought him to Buffalo in November 1902 to build a house for his sister, the Barton House, with a size of about 4000 feet, and then to build his main house, a 15,000 square foot Prairie Style home, characterized by Wright's rigorous and consistent use of cruciform plans, piers and cantilevers, and other prairie house principles. After many years of neglect, the Martin
house is now under renovation to restore it back to its original early 1900's authentic splendor. After the humid heat inside the Martin and Barton Houses we were glad to get outside to cool down. We drove through the Park Side East Historic District surrounding Delaware Park, a creation of the famous landscape designer Frederick Law Olmstead, who also designed Central Park. The area around Delaware Park and the Forest Lawn Cemetery is a beautiful part of the city with gorgeous mansions and manicured lawns, and this beauty is most visible on Millionaires' Row along Delaware Avenue. There was much more traffic and street life in this part of Buffalo, the atmosphere
was pleasant and the residential areas impressive. We headed over closer to the Niagara River and drove along the Seaway Trail, crossed Grand Island and continued on the outskirts of Niagara Falls right along the Niagara River towards Lewiston. The drive north of Niagara Falls to Fort Niagara State Park on Lake Ontario is gorgeous, with beautiful old homes overlooking the Niagara River, huge trees overhanging the 2-lane country road, with well-kept properties on either side of the road. We had a lovely greasy lunch outside, enjoying the breeze (hey, you don't have to eat healthy every day) and then continued our drive all the way to Fort Niagara State
Park, admiring the villas and estates. Back on the Canadian side we drove along the Niagara Parkway and stopped in the beautiful little village of Niagara-on-the-Lake. NOTL calls itself the "prettiest village in Ontario", and they might just be right. The village is home to beautifully maintained Victorian homes, overflowing flower baskets, souvenir shops, cafes, bed and breakfasts, as well as the famous Shaw Festival, and for many Ontarians it is a favorite destination for a quick weekend getaway. From Niagara-onthe-Lake we headed through vineyards and orchards to St. Catharines, and to its Port Dalhousie waterfront entertainment area, not forgetting to stop by a road-side fruit stall to
buy ripe red cherries and nuclear-size apricots fresh from the tree. About 20 minutes from NOTL, Port Dalhousie harbors a marina and a long pier and numerous outdoor patio restaurants, ice cream parlors, souvenir shops and other entertainment. The atmosphere in Port Dalhousie was almost like in a Californian seafront resort town with rollerbladers, walkers, beach volleyball players, boaters and relaxed pedestrians taking a stroll through the village and on the pier. The sun was starting to set and lake was laid out in front of us like an ocean, with no shoreline visible on the other side. It was a beautiful hot evening and I felt like I wanted to spend a whole week in this happening spot. But no such luck, we
had to get back to Toronto after our exciting girls-only excursion to Buffalo and the Niagara Peninsula. We got to explore some fabulous architectural gems, connected with the legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright, had a lovely greasy lunch right next to the Niagara River, enjoyed the hospitality and the helpfulness of the local New York State residents, and back on home territory, we hopped along the Lake Ontario shoreline to enjoy fresh fruits, frozen yogurt and an amazingly relaxing late afternoon by the waterfront. It doesn't get much better than that. Susanne Pacher is the publisher of www.travelandtransitions.com, a web portal for unconventional travel & cross-cultural connections.

ful. It's a hillside with a pond at the bottom and a view across the valley to a mountainside covered with trees. Some evenings, Miller comes over here after work, sits on the hill and just watches the cows and their calves. "Basically, it just gets in your blood. It's what you love doing. There's nothing like seeing a brand new calf, the first time trying to get up and walk, you know?" Miller says quietly. But there are a couple of things he doesn't get from farming: health insurance; a 401(k); or very much income, for that matter. "I work a job so that I have health insurance, some sort of retirement," Miller says. Miller is surprisingly typical. According to the newly released census of agriculture, more than half of all farmers say it's not their primary occupation. Also, twothirds of all farms sell less than $25,000 worth of crops or livestock each year. That's not profit — that's total sales. Part-time farmers come in many flavors. Some are stepping away from agriculture. They may be semi-retired, or they inherited farmland and want to keep it in the family, but they don't want to farm full time. Some are raising vegetables for farmers markets. Others have orchards.
Every five years, the U.S. Department of Agriculture carries out a census of farmers: who they are, and what they are doing on their farms. The agency just released the latest one, and it's a feast for all ag geeks. And here's the very first, most basic piece of new information: There are 2,109,303 farmers in this country. But look a little closer at that number, and you can see that it's not quite what it seems. Most of those farmers are not actually making a living by farming. Bill Miller is a typical example. He grew up on a big cattle ranch in southwestern Missouri, near the town of Aurora, and he felt like the place was his. But he was the son of a ranch hand, not the owner. So when the ranch was sold to new owners, his father lost his job and the family had to move out of their house on the ranch. Today, Miller works at a chemical plant near Aurora. But he and a coworker rent some land where they graze cattle. "It's just something you love to do, you know?" Miller says. "Born and raised with cows. Just enjoy being around them, messing with them." The land where his Continued on page 23
‘Mommas, don’t let your daughters miss out on careers in agriculture!’ That’s how the Willie and Waylon classic could have been modified by anyone attending the inaugural Advancing Women Conference in Calgary. The event, created by well-known conference organizer Iris Meck, was designed to provide life and leadership skills for women involved in agriculture. While many of the 360 attendees were women long established in their careers, there were also many young females just getting launched into agriculture work. And it was evident there’s demand for a lot more. “The days of token women in agriculture are gone,” Meck told the crowd. “Now there are women among the top executives in industry.” Agribusiness firms were out in full force — and in recruiting mode. Monsanto Canada recently hired its first fulltime talent acquisition person, and reps from DuPont, Dow AgroSciences, Bayer Crop Science, and MNP all spoke of their efforts to hire and promote women. “We need to start nurturing women in agriculture,” said Gwen Paddock, RBC’s national manager for agri-
culture. “With banking and the chemical industries doing initiatives to encourage women, if agriculture doesn’t create an environment welcoming to women, it will fall behind. It’s theirs to lose.” Cargill marketing manager Fran Burr called it a ‘career highlight’ to see so many ag women in one room together. She said gender was more of an issue when she began as an ag sales rep three decades ago and, like several other speakers, she talked of working long, hard hours to stay ahead of men in similar roles. But things have changed. • More from the Alberta Farmer Express: Women in agriculture bank on change “Now the emphasis is on talent and experience, not gender, when choosing employees,” said Burr. “I’m optimistic about the changes
I’ve seen and continue to see. Many agriculture companies now see gender diversity as a business accelerator.” There are also more diverse career options open to young women, particularly in operations, she added. “We’re finding that’s interesting to women now,” said Burr, noting several of her female Cargill colleagues at the conference are general managers. “The driver now is how strong women are in the organization, and what they are doing for the company — the diversity of thought and the style that they bring.” When she looks at her customer base, she sees a similar shift in the role women are playing, she added. “They’re the actual farmer, not the farm wife,” she said. “The other part of it is how
active the woman on the farm is in the farming decisions. It’s a dominant, decisionmaker role. In our case, we find men are very emotional about grainmarketing decisions, where women cut right through. They’re putting the grain-marketing plan on the fridge so they never lose sight of when they’re selling. Women have always been contributors, but what they do now is very influential on the calibre of the farm operations.” It’s no longer a question of whether there are opportunities for women in agriculture, but how to attract more women, she said. “How can we make it something they look to first? We need these people in agriculture. We absolutely need this youth, and these new ideas.” Continued on page 23

no Longer a man'S worLd in agriCuLture, Continued from Page 22 Conference participants got a glimpse of the diversity of careers in agriculture in a panel discussion, which included Senator JoAnne Buth; Alison Sunstrum, ‘chief technology evangelist’ and co-CEO for livestock tech firm GrowSafe Systems of Airdrie; and Angela Santiago, CEO of the Little Potato Company of Edmonton. There were numerous mother-daughter combinations among
the delegates, who came from all walks of agriculture. Ponoka rancher Mandi Matheson said she wished she had brought her daughters, too. “I came to see other ag women, and to see life out there,” said Matheson. “To meet and see these women has been great, and they’re all willing to talk and share.” Women from six provinces, five states, and
more than 150 organizations attended the conference. “The most outstanding thing I’ve been hearing from women here is that ‘I’m not alone,’” said Meck, adding there will be another Advancing Women Conference (although she’s been asked to hold the next one in Eastern Canada, or even the U.S.). The conference was a unique experience for me personally. As a woman who’s been
reporting on ag and rodeo for more than 30 years, it was great to reconnect with many of the folks I’ve interviewed in the past, from ‘my era.’ But it was also exciting to see the young women, and learn about the spectrum of choices they have ‘in the field’ today. To meet the women, and hear their stories, and broaden both networks and horizons was truly inspiring.

farming iS a Labor of LoVe, Continued from Page 22 But the biggest single group is made up of people like Miller, who raise cattle. It's often the easiest way to farm part time. Cattle don't take a lot of expensive equipment or a huge amount of labor. As a result, the average cattle herd in the country is just 40 animals. Some of these parttime farmers would love to do it full time. "My whole entire life, all I wanted to do was farm. But things change as you grow up," says Josh Kennedy. Kennedy got married. He and his wife now have a young son. "It kind of became — how do I support my family? Of course, benefits and insurance are a big thing," he says. So he went to work at the Aurora Fire Department. When he gets off work there, he trades his fireman's uniform for a pair of rancher's boots, gets
in his truck, and goes home to the work that he considers his real occupation. "It's hard to explain sometimes. People are like, 'Why do you do that? It doesn't look like it makes a whole lot of money!' " Kennedy says. Kennedy would like to expand his farming operation by buying or renting more land, and grazing more cattle. "Ultimately, that's my goal, to buy a bigger farm." But land is really expensive. He's competing with other farmers, including bigger farmers, with much bigger lines of credit. Devin Fisher, another part-time farmer near Aurora, also played with the idea of doing it full time and decided there was no way she could ever acquire enough land to make it work financially. "It's virtually impossible to do it for a living unless it's been handed
down to you," she says. "You almost have to walk into it, to do it as a full-time job." Being a hobby farmer, she says, is the next best thing. The census numbers reveal the continuing transformation of American agriculture. The huge number of part-time farmers represents a kind of historical legacy. To a large extent, they are what's left of the days, a century ago, when farmers made up almost a third of the labor force. Meanwhile, though, big farms are getting bigger. According to the latest census, there are just 80,000 farms with sales of over $1 million a year. They represent just 4 percent of the total farm population. But those few big farms account for two-thirds of all agricultural production in the country.

Around the World tenniS CoaCh haS had a Long Journey to fredonia
By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
It’s probably safe to assume that when Lisa Johnston was growing up in Australia, she never imagined herself as the boys’ tennis coach and physical education teacher at Fredonia High School. Of course, that’s exactly what happened. Johnston met her husband, Steve, while playing in a tennis tournament in her native Australia. Steve just happened to be from Brocton and in Australia on a teacher exchange program. “The first time I came (to the United States) was on a tennis scholarship to Youngstown State University,” Johnston explained. “I played No. 1 singles there for a year and won all of my matches. “Then basically every six years we switched countries,” she continued. “We lived in Australia then we moved back here, then we moved back to Australia and then we moved back here. It was time to go back a few years ago, but we stayed.” As a dominant tennis player, the next logical step is to become a tennis coach. It’s a role that Johnston took on early. “I started coaching when I was 15 years old,” she said. “Someone I knew was running summer camps for kids

wanting to learn to play tennis. I’ve always loved kids and it seemed like the right thing to do.” A coach’s philosophy often comes from their own past coaches from their playing careers. Johnston is similar, but she also learned some things she’d rather do differently. “My coach that I had was a fantastic coach,” she acknowledged. “He coached Lleyton Hewitt, who was No. 1 in the world at one point. He really expected a lot. He was a pretty negative coach and I tend to look for the positive. He had very high expectations. For instance, when I would get a ride to practice he would tell me I shouldn’t be getting a ride, that I should be running here
and running home.” There’s a good chance that Johnston will get the opportunity to expand her coaching career next school year. Right now, she only coaches Fredonia’s boys’ team, but longtime girls coach Mike Hirschbeck recently retired and Johnston is hopeful that she’ll get to take on that new role. One added benefit Johnston has enjoyed over the past few years is the opportunity to coach her son Nick, who is now a senior and plays No. 1 singles. “We’re a tennis family, but he always wanted to play every sport but tennis,” Johnston said. “He played a little when he was young a couple times, but he was never that
interested. Once he started again, he really liked it.” Johnston has done a very nice job turning the Fredonia program into a winner, but she admits that the very season tennis occurs during presents problems. “We start in March and we’re very fortunate that we have three days of practice every week at the fairgrounds,” she stated. “Then two days a week we do Insanity, which is a tough fitness program. Otherwise we wouldn’t have anything to do the other two days. We’ve had one outdoor practice this year. “We basically play our games in three weeks,” Johnson continued. “There’s not much time for kids to improve. It’s always been that way. I feel like they should start the season later and finish later. Track goes into June and baseball goes longer. I’m not sure why tennis has to be so quick. To play five games in five days — how do you actually improve?” Those obstacles have done little to slow down Fredonia’s tennis program, however. Johnston has done a nice job recruiting athletes that play sports in the fall and winter seasons, but didn’t have a sport for the spring. Those players often fall in love with the sport, a fact that Johnston is very proud of. Continued on pg 26

i beg of you, ignore draft grades By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
Oh no! ESPN’s Mel Kiper gave the Buffalo Bills a C- grade on their draft haul. Surely the sky is falling. This season is going nowhere. They might as well just move the team now and be done with it. Continued on pg 25

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, MAY 16, 2014
Commentary, Continued from Page 25 There’s no way the Bills win a game this year. Yeah, maybe we should all pump the brakes a little bit. Dealing in extremes is a surefire way to look like a fool. The Bills got their guy and that’s all fans should concern themselves with. Yes, giving up essentially a pair of first-round picks for Sammy Watkins is a steep price, but management and coaches alike must have totally fallen in love with Watkins’ skill and work ethic or they wouldn’t have pulled the trigger. These coaches and scouts analyze football for a living. Odds are pretty good that they’re better at it than you… and me too I suppose. Let’s try to look at more positives. A likely best-case scenario for the Bills is that Watkins turns into a top-10 receiver in the NFL. The Atlanta Falcons traded a lot to get Julio Jones a few years ago and I’m sure they don’t regret it. If Watkins becomes Jones 2.0, I’ll be thrilled. It’s been forever since the Bills had a big threat on the outside. Lee Evans was
okay. Eric Moulds was legitimately very good. Watkins supposedly has the freakish skill set to make those guys look like…Peerless Price. Far too much value is placed on first-round picks also. Let’s look at a team like the Green Bay Packers, who have been in the playoffs seemingly forever. Since taking Clay Matthews in 2009, the Packers have drafted Bryan Bulaga, Derek Sherrod, Nick Perry and Datone Jones with their first-round picks (plus Ha Ha ClintonDix last week). Those four guys can be summed up with one word: Who? One of the best teams in the league has gotten almost nothing from four straight first-round picks. Savvy signings and retaining good players is how the Packers stay successful. So what would the Bills have taken had they not traded up to No. 4? Perhaps offensive lineman Jake Mathews would still have been on the board. Maybe they would have reached for the secondbest receiver in the draft — Mike Evans.
Fourth-round and later picks are a little harder to get a feel for, but Ross Cockrell is a speedy cornerback. A team can never have too many quality secondary players. Cyril Richardson adds even more offensive line depth, though probably Former Alabama offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjio only at guard. Randell is a huge new addition to the Buffalo Bills’ Johnson is an athletic offensive line. A knee injury likely caused the drop to the early second round.

It’s fun. I understand that. But at the end of the day, please remember that these guys haven’t played a snap yet. Many of these players won’t make an impact for a couple years in fact. What you should really do is go back and analyze the 2010 NFL Draft. Now that’s where you can see which teams really did well. Hmm…that certainly seems like an idea for a commentary for next week.

year. We’ve kept our numbers up and we’ve kept the interest. That’s more important to me than individual success. “My goal is to keep the numbers,” Johnston add-
ed. “I would like to get the kids involved in winter tennis at Floral Hall. That’s definitely a goal. Maybe we could run a league there on Sunday afternoons for kids that aren’t doing a winter
sport and have Dunkirk involved as well.” The Johnston name is synonymous with tennis in Fredonia. Lisa Johnston’s father-inlaw, Chuck Johnston,
was the Fredonia tennis coach for 28 years. He compiled an impressive record of 347-74 during that time. When asked what it was like to watch his
daughter-in-law coach and his grandson play the sport he loves, Chuck Johnston simply sat back, smiled and said “I’m very proud of both of them.”

It’s a 200-yard par 3 that’s uphill and ends with a brutally tough green. This time I recorded a double-bogey and counted myself lucky. Both Mark and Tuba were playing the hole for the first time and all they could do was laugh when they’d hit a decent little putt and it would slowly roll down towards the front of the green and back onto the fringe. They aren’t the first nor the last to experience that I’m sure. Luckily after the frustration of No. 8 comes one of my favorite
a day for firStS of the SeaSon holes that I’ve ever played in No. 9. It’s the only par 5 on the course and you get to tee off from way up on a hill, so it seems like you can drive the ball forever. I technically made it in four shots, but I also had to take stroke penalty for a drop out of some thick cabbage I was in for my second shot. The odds of getting it out were pretty slim so I gladly took a stroke to move the ball slightly out. I ended the day at 45, which is easily my best round of the young season. I definitely played well, but also left room for improvement. I’m very confident about breaking 40 in the coming weeks. I’ve only ever done it once, but I feel like my driving has never been better and I’m hitting the irons really well lately too. If I can get a little more consistent with my short game, it’ll be a good season of golf.
tiP of the week:
Chipping is most likely the hardest part of golf for most people. When I first started I tried to use the lob wedge like the other guys I played with. But I quickly learned that the pitch and roll technique worked much better for me. It’s tough sometimes because you have to rely on true bounces off the fringe sometimes, but I feel like I have more control with the pitching wedge than the lob wedge. Try both and see what works better for you. Whatever you decide to use, just be confident. Keep those wrists locked, line the ball up with your back foot and try not to get too frustrated. As always, golf is great. Go get yourself some. Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

Upper Niagara River
The last of Lake Erie's ice is exiting the river now. However, upper river boaters should still keep an eye out for random ice chunks this weekend. Anglers are catching yellow perch and sunfish in harbor and marina areas. Some perch are starting to show around Squaw Island as well. Emerald shiners are best bait for perch and are readily available for dipping at multiple harbor, launch and inlet sites. Keep in mind that down river of the Peace Bridge, smallmouth bass fishing is by catch and release only, artificial lures only, until the 3rd Saturday in June.
Chautauqua Lake
With cool water temperatures, walleye season got off to kind of a slow start this week. Anglers picked up a few walleye along weed edges. Targeting walleye along shallower shoreline areas at night is a good early season tactic. Boaters troll outside weed edges with stickbaits and worm harnesses, or drift and work jigs with nightcrawlers or leeches. Shore anglers can connect by casting stickbaits, especially in areas near stream inlets. Anglers are still catching a mix of crappie, yellow perch, bluegill and bullhead in the canals. On the open lake, target crappie around areas with green weeds in 6-10 feet of water in sheltered bays and around structure.
Recent crappie catches have come from Ashville Bay, Burtis Bay, Lakewood Bar, around Rock and Grass Islands and off Mayville. Jig heads (1/32 and 1/64 ounce) with one inch tubes, with or without a minnow, have worked well.
Inland Trout Fishing
All of the area's inland trout streams are in good fishing shape. Stream temperatures are now in the 50s, so look for increasing trout activity and hatches of hendricksons and blue-winged olives. Productive offerings for spinning anglers include worms, salted minnows and small inline spinners. If you are a catch-and-release angler and use spinners, it is a good practice to outfit your spinners with a single hook rather than a treble hook. Western New York anglers have a variety of Wild Trout Streams and Stocked Trout Streams to choose from. In addition, Public Fishing Rights Maps are available for many of the area's best trout streams.
Spring Trout Stocking
DEC Hatchery staff have been busy stocking thousands of yearling brown, brook and rainbow trout in western New York. In addition, many of the popular trout streams also receive stockings of twoyear-old brown trout that are between 12-15 inches long. For lists of stocked waters (by County) and numbers of trout stocked, check the 2014 Spring Trout Stocking page. The DEC has stocked all region 9 waters with at least their first stocking increment. The following waters will receive an additional stocking between 5/12 and 5/16.

national NASP tournament held in Louisville, Kentucky on May 8th-10th. Last year, 14 students from New York participated in the national NASP tournament in Kentucky. This year New York State has 38 students from 11 schools attending nationals. NASP is designed to engage more students in the educational process and improve participation in outdoor-type activities among students of all athletic abilities. DEC is involved in the program to introduce young people to archery and other shooting sports, a common way to become interested in hunting and the outdoors. NASP continues to grow at the national level with 2.3 million students participating in the program during the 201213 school year. More than 12,000 schools in 47 states, Washington D.C., Canada, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia have adopted the program. In New York, schools from 131 school districts currently participate in the program and more than 30,000 students participated in the program during the 2012-2013 school year. Jason Kernan, a physical education teacher at Canaseraga Central School, in Allegany County said, "I try to use archery to get the kids to focus on their choices. Not
to focus on everyone around them and what they are doing (or how they are shooting). Just because the person next to you is doing better doesn't mean you should get down on yourself or give up. It means you need to reflect on what happened during the execution of the shot that might have caused you to miss your mark. The same goes with decisions in life." Michael Sharp, a physical education teacher at Schroon Lake Central School, in Essex County said, "NASP is probably the best program that I have ever introduced into my curriculum; it inspires all types of students to participate. The kids absolutely love it!" Governor Cuomo's NY Open for Fishing and Hunting Initiative is an effort to improve recreational opportunities for sportsmen and women and to boost tourism activities throughout the state. This initiative includes streamlining fishing and hunting licenses, reducing license fees, improving access for fishing and increasing hunting opportunities in New York State. In support of this initiative, this year's budget includes $6 million in NY Works funding to support creating 50 new land and water access projects to connect hunters,
anglers, bird watchers and others who enjoy the outdoors to more than 380,000 acres of existing state and easement lands that have gone largely untapped until now. These 50 new access projects include building new boat launches, installing new hunting blinds and building new trails and parking areas. In addition, the 2014-15 budget includes $4 million to repair the state's fish hatcheries; and renews and allows expanded use of crossbows for hunting in New York State. This year's budget also reduces short-term fishing licenses fees; increases the number of authorized statewide free fishing days to eight from two; authorizes DEC to offer 10 days of promotional prices for hunting, fishing and trapping licenses; and authorizes free Adventure Plates for new lifetime license holders, discounted Adventure Plates for existing lifetime license holders and regular fee Adventure Plates for annual license holders.

Year-Ending Awards Made At SAAC Gala
Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.
Fredonia State honored its senior student-athletes and presented its 2013-14 achievement awards Sunday afternoon during the annual seasonending event coordinated by the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. Becky Hebert (Sr.; Hilton, N.Y.) of women's basketball and Sean Larson (Sr.; Angola, N.Y.) of baseball were named female and male athletes of the year, respectively. Rookie of the Year honors went to Alexis Cheatham (Fr.; Lockport, N.Y.) of women's basketball and Arron Carlson (Fr.; LeRoy, N.Y.) of men's swimming and diving. In addition, Lauren O'Hara (Sr.; Canandaigua, N.Y.) of women's volleyball was recognized for having the highest grade-point average among graduating seniors, while the women's swimming and diving team was cited for having the highest team GPA. Brent Kawski received the SAAC Service Award for his diligent work on the Fredonia State athletic playing fields. Kevin Sylvester of the Buffalo Sabres -- a graduate of Fredonia State -- served as master of ceremonies for the event, known as The SAAC Gala. University President Dr. Virginia Horvath and Vice President of Student Affairs Dr. David Herman were among the speakers. In addition, three SAAC co-presidents -- Chelsea Maderer (Sr.; Orchard Park, N.Y.) of women's lacrosse, Joe Pagano (Sr.; South Wales, N.Y.) of men's soccer, and Shannon Letina (Sr.; Clarence, N.Y.) of women's soccer -- detailed a long list of community service activities performed by Blue Devil teams during the 2013-14 academic year. The afternoon began with a parents' reception in the Williams Center during which 22 seniors became Fredonia State's first inductees into Chi Alpha Sigma, a nonprofit organization established to recognize college studentathletes who, among other criteria, maintain a 3.4 or higher cumulative GPA. History professor and Faculty Athletic Representative Dr. Eileen Lyon was instrumental in forming
Winners of awards at the 2014 SAAC Gala were, from left, seated: Arron Carlson (Male Rookie of the Year), Sean Larson (Male Athlete of the Year), Becky Hebert (Female Athlete of the Year), and Alexis Cheatham (Famale Rookie of the Year); standing: Lauren 0'Hara (Scholar-Athlete of the Year) and Jenni Smith (captain of women's swimming and diving, winners of Award of Academic Excellence).
Fredonia State's Chi Alpha Sigma chapter and took part in the induction ceremony. (See story on page 31.) Following the reception, seniors proceeded to Rosch Recital Hall -- located inside the School of Music's Mason Hall -- for the Gala, where their entrance into the hall was cheered by family and friends, including members of Fredonia State's 19 varsity teams. Following comments from Dr. Horvath and Dr. Herman, two alumni -- Tom Wilson, head coach of men's and women's cross country and track & field, and John Grabowski, assistant coach of men's soccer -- introduced the four Female Rookie of the Year nominees: Cheatham, Kristie Kleine (Fr.; Cazenovia, N.Y.) of women's soccer and women's lacrosse, Sara Madison (Fr.; Rochester, N.Y.) of women's volleyball, and Erin Mushtare (Fr.; Oneonta, N.Y.) of softball. Video clip highlights of all four nominees were shown -- a feature repeated in each of the four athletic award nomination categories -- before Cheatham was named as the winner, followed by a taped congratulatory message from women's basketball head coach Linda Hill-MacDonald. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Grabowski remained on stage to announce the three Male Rookie of the Year nominees. In addition to Carlson, the list included Jeff Flagler (Fr.; Owen Sound, Ont.) of men's hockey and Mike Prentice (Fr.; West Seneca, N.Y.) of baseball. The annoucement of Carlson as winner was followed
by taped congratulations from Arthur Wang, head coach of men's and women's swimming and diving. The three SAAC co-presidents came to the podium to talk about community service projects accomplished during the year. They were followed by Dr. Lyon. In addition to talking about Chi Alpha Sigma, she recited a list of academic achievements by Blue Devils during 2013-14. She asked members of the women's swimming and diving team to stand and be recognized for attaining the highest team GPA -- 3.45. Team captains Kristen Champoux (Sr.; Niagara Falls, N.Y.), Stephanie Rosa ( Jr.; Phillipsburg, N.Y.), and Jenni Smith (Sr.; Argyl, Pa.), received the award on behalf of the team. Dr. Lyon concluded by presenting the Fredonia State Athletics Scholar-Athlete Award to Ms. O'Hara, an Interdisciplinary Studies Exercise Science major with a 3.94 GPA through seven semesters. Director of Athletics Greg Prechtl was called upon to present the 2013-14 SAAC Service Award to Mr. Kawski. An employee of the campus grounds department since 1986, Mr. Kawski has since been appointed Senior Athletic Groundskeeper. "Brent works tirelessly, through his breaks," Mr. Prechtl said, quoting a colleague, "while also taking late lunches and working after hours in order to make sure that 'his fields,' as he affectionately calls them, are in good playing shape. ... He takes great pride in the athletes' enjoyment of their sports, as well as their apprecia-
tion of him and his work." Assistant Director of Athletics Joe Baudo and assistant women's lacrosse coach Amy Simon, also a Fredonia State alum, followed with a recitaton of honors received and milestones achieved by Blue Devils during the fall, winter, and spring seasons. Ms. Simon referenced the women's lacrosse team's 9-8 NCAA Tournament win Saturday over RPI and a video montage of the event was presented. Each of the senior student-athletes was then called to the stage individually to be recognized in front of a backdrop of an action shot of them. Four-year team members received a commemorative watch while seniors who participated fewer than four seasons received a plaque, all presented by Mr. Prechtl. Mr. Sylvester invited head men's soccer coach P.J. Gondek and Assistant Director of Athletics Megan Valentine to the podium to make the presentations of the Female and Male Athlete of the Year awards. In addition to Hebert, the women's nominees were Anna Dambacher (Soph.; Divernon, Ill.) of women's track and field, Ashley Keller (Sr.; Lockport, N.Y.) of women's swimming and diving, and Katie Kleine (Jr.; Cazenovia, N.Y.) of women's soccer and women's lacrosse. The male nominees were, in addition to Larson, Tyrone Clark (Sr.; Elmira, N.Y.) of men's basketball, John Estainslau (Sr.; East Longmeadow, Mass.) of men's swimming and diving, and Chase Lipshie (Sr.; Port Jefferson Station, N.Y.) of men's soccer. Taped congratulatory messages were delivered by Ms. Hill-MacDonald to Hebert, and by head baseball coach Matt Palisin to Larson. Joe Calarco, head coach of women's tennis, recited his traditional seasonending poem entitled "The Scrapbook" and a video montage was shown of Blue Devil teams off and on the court during the past year. A string quartet comprised of four Fredonia State students played at the parents' reception. Quartet members were Rachel Conklin and Stephen Minor on violins, Chelsea Hadden on viola, and John Chatterton on cello.

Rangers Ride Lundqvist Into Conference Finals
Contributed Article Associated Press
The horn sounded and Henrik Lundqvist lifted his arms in a mixture of joy and exhaustion. Hey, nobody said carrying a team back from the brink was going to be easy, even for the goaltender his New York Ranger teammates call ''King.'' Determined at the start and dominant at the finish, Lundqvist lifted the resilient Rangers past the rudderless Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1 in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals Tuesday night to cap a furious rally from a 3-1 series deficit. ''When you face a challenge like that it's about how you answer and we just did it the right way,'' Lundqvist said. ''We came together as a group and played a really smart game.'' Helps when the best player on the ice happens to be in your net. Lundqvist stopped 35 shots to win his NHL record fifth straight Game 7 as the Rangers advanced to face either Montreal or Boston in the conference finals. That series is tied 3-3, with the Bruins hosting Game 7 on Wednesday night. Whoever survives will face a team whose confidence is soaring. The Rangers have been playing hockey for 88 years. The franchise had never come back after losing three of the first four games until now. ''We were talking about we were going to need to give ourselves some chances in these games,'' New York

Faced with their fifth Game 7 in the past three years, they did what they always do and took control early. Boyle's second goal of the playoffs 5:25 into the game quieted a raucous crowd. When Jokinen tied it 4:15 into the second period, the Rangers responded less than 4 minutes later on a power play goal by Richards. Lundqvist did the rest, though he admits he hardly did it alone.

Cavs gM Says irving not Behind Brown Firing
Contributed Article and one that I want Associated Press
Mike Brown's relationship with All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving didn't grow. They got along, but had their issues. However, any differences Brown had with his best player didn't get him fired for a second time by the Cavaliers. That's the point made by general manager David Griffin on Tuesday, strongly denying that Irving had any direct involvement in the decision to replace Brown. The coach was dismissed on Monday nearly a month after the Cavs finished a disappointing 33-49 season. ''Any, any insinuation that Kyrie had anything to do with this decision is patently false,'' Griffin said, his voice rising. ''It's unfair. He was not counseled on this decision, nor was he counseled on the previous coaching decision. It's a completely unfair assertion

everyone to understand very clearly.'' Griffin then pounded his hand on the table for effect. ''That is not a narrative that we are going to go with,'' he said. Irving, who will be playing for his third coach in four NBA seasons, and Brown rarely seemed on the same page in their year together. While Irving's defense improved, there were too many times when he was a liability. Also, Irving and guard Dion Waiters struggled during their time on the court and the pair had some off-court issues under Brown's watch. It's understandable that Griffin defended Irving. After all, the 21-year-old is Cleveland's top player - a potential superstar in the making - and the Cavs can offer him a maximum contract extension this summer. The team doesn't want to create any unnecessary turmoil
season there were probably things we could have done better as a front office to set the table as well. This was a collective approach this season. We made progress collectively in some ways toward the end of the year and we fell short collectively Head Coach Mike Brown of the Cleveland Cavaliers in some ways.

Brown's successor. ''We're not going to rule out any coach at any level,'' he said. ''College experience will not be something that is ruled out. Being a head coach in the NBA in the past will not be something that is ruled out. We're going to be very open-minded in that way.'' Griffin said Gilbert, who has fired four coaches and replaced three GMs since buying the Cavs in 2005, will be heavily involved in the coaching search. ''Dan does have a reputation as a very handson owner, because our ownership group is very involved,'' he said. ''This will be a collaborative effort. I will not make any decision alone. But I will absolutely be leading this process, and I'm really excited about building a relationship with that coach. ''As I've said before, you're only as strong as that relationship. That bond is going to be very strong.''

NASCAR-Owned Iowa Speedway Opens Sunday
Contributed Article Associated Press
The Iowa Speedway will reopen just six months after its purchase by NASCAR. New president Jimmy Small is among those eager to see how Sunday's Nationwide race will set the tone for the short track's future. NASCAR took the rare step in November of purchasing the track for a reported $10 million, a steep drop from the $70 million it cost to build it less than a decade earlier. The 28-year-old Small is the third person to run the Iowa Speedway in less than three years. He inherited a track that has remained popular with fans and drivers despite patches of instability. ''As far as challenges, I think the biggest one has been timing,'' he said. ''We knew we only had a short amount of time before our first weekend here in just a few days now.''
Sunday's Nationwide race. ''A lot of these initiatives that we're bringing to the table are still in their development phase. We believe we're on to something,'' Small said. Iowa Speedway will host just three major race weekends in 2014. The track lost one of its Camping World trucks series races and combined the other with IndyCar's annual stop in Newton in mid-July. The schedule, along with new NASCAR Trevor Bayne drives his car during track testing for the NASCAR Nationwide Series auto race at Iowa Speedway, Tuesday, May 6, 2014, in Newton, Iowa. The race is scheduled for Sunday, May 18. (AP Photo/ initiatives in Iowa this summer, will be up Charlie Neibergall) for debate next year.
