dunkirk Family launches Fundraising initiative ‘WHEELS fOR AnTHOny’ WORkinG TO TRAnSPORT 16 yEAR OLD BOy Contributed Article which will make the Wheels for Anthony
Anthony is going to be 16, and needs wheels. Anthony suffered a traumatic brain injury at birth and was diagnosed with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy with a seizure disorder and feeding difficulties. This has left him unable to walk or talk, and he needs to be taken care of in all areas of daily living. Anthony does not eat on his own, and is fed through a feeding tube. It has almost become impossible to get Anthony in and out of a car, and his mother, Denise Shuart, wants to keep him at home as long as possible. To do this, Shuart lacks the necessary equipment that is crucial for the care of him, which is a wheelchair van. The only option Anthony’s family has is to purchase a van. While Shuart has looked into the funding needed for this expensive purchase, she is unable to do so without a little bit of help. There is funding for the conversion kit,
mini-van into a wheelchair van, but none to purchase the van. There are stipulations to what she can purchase. The van has to be only three to four years old with less than 20,000 miles on it. In addition, there is a spaghetti dinner planned in Fredonia, at the Masonic Lodge on Route 20. The dinner will be held on June 8, from noon to 4 p.m. Tickets are $10. The purchase of the van will not only help to keep Anthony at home with his family, but also help his quality of life. He will be able to go to his brother’s baseball games again, his sister’s dance recitals and his favorite things – go to the movies. Anthony’s family is from Dunkirk, and they would be overjoyed with any sort of help, so please spread the word and let’s help Anthony out! You can visit www. gofundme.com/anthonywheels to donate, or https://www.facebook. com/anthonys.wheels for more information.

Gearing up for a camping trip
we have what we need, and pack everything else. He’s insistent that it’s going to be a learning trip for us, so it’s good that our in-laws will only be a few sites away!
By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
I’ve always been comfortable with the prospect of being a stay at home mommy. As soon as I found out we were pregnant with our first son, Joshua, I knew that my days of work would soon be changing from earning a paycheck to changing a diaper, and that’s something my husband and I were both fine with. Being a stay at home mommy, I’ve grown to be comfortable within the walls of our home. I clean, cook, craft and create and have tried to do it all well, while providing our children with love. But this weekend, I’m going to be stepping out of that comfort zone. My husband’s family has always been fond of camping. I never had a problem with it, bugs and such don’t scare me, but they’re passionate about it. Last year, my in-laws bought us our first popup camper, which we’re taking to Allegany State Park this weekend for Memorial Day. I used to think camping was easy, because we’ve always stayed with Scott’s parents. We’d have a bed already available when we got there, and food, clothes and everything else were pretty much taken care of. Now, we’ve got to get creative and get through the weekend. I thought it’d be a fitting topic for

• Be flexible
One thing I’ve learned already from our little experience with the camper is that things may not go as planned, but that’s alright. Upon opening our camper up this year, we discovered a leak that generated some mold over the winter. After a few hours of scrubbing, things are looking good again, but I’m going into the weekend with the expectation that we’ll flow with whatever happens.
• Plan to relax this column to write about some things we’re doing to prepare for the trip. I may be a homemaker, but my goal this weekend is to turn a camper into a home-away-fromhome.
dirt, creeks, playgrounds, snacks and drinks, we’ll see how it looks. But I want to start with a clean slate – it’ll give me a goal to get back to afterwards.
• Clean, clean, clean
My husband was a boy scout, and his years in the scouts seem to come alive from his subconscious when we’re camping. My keyboard-typing, iPhone-using, can-hammer-anail-and-that’s-all husband transforms into some strangely clean cut mountain man, and I love it. But his emphasis has been on getting everything ready ahead of time. We’ve teamed up to make sure that
Alright, I know that ‘camping’ sounds like a generally dirty task to undertake. As someone who maintains cleanliness for our home, and boys, I think we do a pretty good job keeping them looking tidy. So preparing for this weekend, we’ve been bleaching, spraying, scrubbing and wiping every corner of our camper to get it ready. After four days of
• Be prepared
My personality is one that likes to be prepared for things. I’m not a big fan of surprises. So, in getting ready for this trip, we’re getting the iPad loaded up with movies (just in case of a rainy day), books and games for the boys inside the camper. Outside, we got Joshua a tricycle, and rain boots. We’re going to have a great time. The best part is, the boys likely won’t notice, or remember, any of the rough patches. I plan on writing another piece about camping after we’ve gone through it, with any tips, tricks and ideas I pick up along the way. Thanks for reading, and happy camper-making!

art trail studio tours, continued from pg 1 Salvaging old furniture is a challenge Tredo loves. She recently repurposed a old china cabinet that had been in a fire at Chautauqua Institution and discarded. It was an antique and the mirrors had crackled in the fire, which she said was “cool.” The piece was in horrible disrepair and still smelled like a fire but seeing the possibilities, she gave it new life. “So many things are just going to end up in landfills and I see the potential in a lot of unwanted things. Not necessarily by themselves, but I collect things knowing that eventually I’m going to see something that it will fit with,” she said. Tredo’s home studio will be open to visi-
tors during both open studio tour weekends, otherwise her studio is open by appointment the rest of the year. Her art pieces are also on display at Surroundings Art Gallery, 73 E. Main St., in Westfield. To contact Carrie Tredo Designs, call (716) 338-8422, email carrietredo@gmail. com, or visit online at CarrieTredoDesigns. com and Facebook.

the Jackson Center announces new exhibit opening
7
Contributed Article RHJC
The Robert H. Jackson Center is pleased to announce that it will debut an original exhibit, “Say, I Taught Thee: The Life of Mary R. Willard,” on Thursday, June 5, 2014. There will be a public opening from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Center, located at 305 E. 4th Street in Jamestown. Refreshments will be served; there is no fee or reservation required to attend. A short commentary will be offered at 7 p.m. to accompany the exhibit. The concept for the exhibit came from the Jackson Center’s Consultant for Archives and Exhibits Jennifer J. Champ. Ms. Champ spent months researching this remarkable woman, a Jamestown High School English teacher whom Robert H. Jackson considered one of his greatest mentors. Ms. Champ worked closely with Pam Brown, Records Management Coordinator for Jamestown Public Schools Records Center and Archives. The Jamestown Public School Archives has a wealth of unique materials related to the history of education in Jamestown. One item that Mrs. Brown and Ms. Champ found was the 19091910 Academic Register that Mary R. Willard used to record the students in her various classes, and the lessons she taught throughout the year. Robert H. Jackson is listed as student #16 in her English 4th Year class! In addition to the Jamestown Public Schools archival materials, there are items on loan from the Fenton History Center. Mary R. Willard had a profound impact on Jackson’s character.... a character that would carry him far and influence our Nation and the world. Ms. Champ stated, “The Jackson Center's mission is to teach about the life of Robert H. Jackson, and his relationship with Mary R.Willard is a part of the story. In many ways, it is a
Mary R. Willard
universal story, one that most of us relate to.” Mrs. Brown noted, "This exhibit is a wonderful opportunity for the school district to display many items in its historical collection. These artifacts are a record of Mary R. Willard's work and accomplishments in the school and community. Her influence was felt not only by Robert H. Jackson, but the students she saw in her many years in the district." Jackson often referred to his relationship with Mary R. Willard as one of the most important of his life, and their friendship lasted until she passed away in 1931. The exhibit portrays the life of a significant woman in Jamestown’s history; Mary R. Willard’s accomplishments and credits are extensive, and her influence extended into all facets of the Jamestown community. In the spirit of honoring mentors, a special portion of the exhibit includes a display created by students from Pine Valley High School. The display features photos, and letters written by the students to important mentors who influenced, guided and inspired them. The students' participation in the exhibit is part of a lesson plan created by Lynn Kutschke, Pine Valley High School Special Education Teacher & Robert H. Jackson Teacher Fellow. Continued on PG 6

exhibit "Say, I Taught Thee" opens, continued from pg 7 According to Mrs. Kutschke, the students have been on a yearlong endeavor to learn more about Jackson’s early life, professional career and lasting legacy, all culminating in the “Who Inspires You” exhibit at the Jackson Center. “They are so proud to represent the inspiration that Robert H. Jackson found in Mary R. Willard by writing their own artistic essays focusing on a person who has truly inspired them,” said Mrs. Kutschke. Additionally, Pine Valley Middle School teacher
Penny Benson had her students supply their own expressive writings to add to the exhibit. Mentors push us to become our best, to envision our dreams, and provide us with the tools to achieve our goals. Mary Willard had a simple, profound faith in the abilities of Robert Jackson. With that faith she encouraged and inspired him. While not everyone will become a Supreme Court Justice or Chief Prosecutor, we all have the ability to enrich the communities in which we live as visionary leaders, useful humani-
tarians, and inspirational teachers. The Jackson Center invites everyone to learn more about this important and influential woman, and to honor and remember an important teacher or mentor in your own life by contributing a story to the exhibit. The exhibit was made possible by a grant from the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation, and through partnerships with the Jamestown Public School Archives and Records Center, and the Fenton History Center.

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.

Ashville Man Witnessed Signing Of Treaty With Japan, Ending WWII Served in U.S. Navy on U.S.S. South Dakota By Deb Everts Contributing Writer
When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, Conrad R. King, or “Connie” as his friends call him, was still a schoolboy of 17 years old. Eighteen months later, after graduating from high school, he was off to fight a man’s war on a battleship in the South Pacific. On May 28, the proud veteran will turn 90 years old and, with a remarkable memory, he recalls his time serving in the United States Navy on the battleship U.S.S. South Dakota (BB57). The Ashville native chuckled and said he signed up for the Navy because when he thought of the Army, all he could see were guys in mud puddles and he thought he’d much rather be in the water. After graduating in June 1943, King went to boot camp and then to Naval Station Great Lakes for more training. From there, he was sent to Seattle where he boarded a ship for Hawaii. At Pearl Harbor, he was assigned to the battleship South Dakota where he served
his entire time in the Navy, from 1943-46, as a yeoman in the First Lieutenant’s office. “Fortunately, I arrived in 1943, so I was not at Pearl Harbor when it was bombed, in 1941,” he said. “But we saw the aftermath of what had happened.” King recalled an incident at Pearl Harbor when the South Dakota came in for repairs. As the ship came into the harbor, its propellers hit a sunken battleship below. That ship happened to be the U.S.S. Arizona. He said the South Dakota left Hawaii and went on to the Philippine Islands — taking one set of islands after another — until they got to Tokyo Bay. The ship was about 500 miles from shore when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima Aug. 6, 1945. According to King, the South Dakota had nine mounted, 16-inch diameter guns onboard. Using a can of black powder, about 20-inches in diameter and 4-feet high, the guns could fire a one-ton shell as far as 20 miles. “Our big guns fired projectiles onto the shore to clean it up, so
our troops could come ashore,” he said. “It was either them or us. It was the last chance for the Japanese forces to hit us with everything they had.” As the South Dakota was bombarding the coast, a kamikaze plane dropped a 500-pound bomb on the ship, hitting a gun mount surrounded by eight crew members … and King was one of them. “There were eight fellas’ around that gun handling ammunition and the bomb hit in the middle of where we were standing,” he explained. “After the explosion, I was laying on my back — stunned and looking around. I will never forget this in my whole life; there were seven guys … all dead. I was the only living man of the eight in that circle.” After American Forces bombed Hiroshima, the South Dakota took over the Japanese battleship Negato. King took the flag from the Negato and still has it today. Japan formally surrendered to the Allies on Sept. 2, 1945, aboard the U.S.S. Missouri, in Tokyo Bay. The battleship South Dakota sat
alongside the Missouri when Japanese officials signed the “act of unconditional surrender” — bringing an end to World War II. King was there to witness the momentous event and, as the two battleships sat side-byside, the men on the South Dakota were all standing at the rail watching. On Sept. 20, King headed home aboard the Flagship South Dakota, which led The Third Fleet into San Francisco Bay, on Oct. 15, 1945. He was discharged in January 1946 and, on June 6, the same year, he married his wife, Betty. King and his father, Paul King, went into business together founding King’s Heating and Sheet Metal, in Falconer. The couple’s four sons later came into the business and, now, their three grandsons are in the family-owned business, as well. The men and women of the “Greatest Generation,” who served their nation during WWII are now mostly in their 90s. Their stories need to be told so younger generations will know of their sacrifice for our country.
Fortunately, I arrived in 1943, so I was not at Pearl Harbor when it was bombed, in 1941. But we saw the aftermath of what had happened. - Conrad “Connie” R. King

Spot Coffee and the music was performed with enthusiasm. The band is fronted by Aircraft drummer Ian Be, who delivers poetry that wavers between surreal ("The Moment Before Waking") and totally sarcastic, as with the song "milkshake," which approaches the subject matter in blunt and idiotic manner. "I'm going to make someone an actual milkshake during that song," says flutist, Jackson Folly.

Honey Spine was founded in Fredonia by Brian Chieco on banjoukulele and Tim Martin on guitar. Their opposing vocal styles (one clear and high, the other raspy and low) work deliberately well with their name. But it was their skill as musicians and songwriters that made them almost immediately relevant
Other than Ian Be, Andrew Biggie (bass) is the only other original member of the band. The group is rounded out by the ambient keyboard work and creative contributions of Alejandro Gutierrez. While the band has expanded their sound significantly since their formation, the base is still Ian Be's poetry, which has spearheaded the Bourbon and Coffee project from the get-go. "Bourbon and Coffee
is a musical vehicle for poetry," says Be. "It makes poetry more accessible and interesting." He also added that he thought poetry worked particularly well alongside alcohol. This is a sentiment that he shares with Gypsy Parlor owner, Mattina. Aside from the Bourbon specials at "Last Wednesday," she has already had success at her venue hosting events dealing with poetry. Most notably, the Pure Ink Poetry Slam, which featured 18 participants in the April edition. Both Mattina and Be have hopes of somehow affiliating the two events in the future. Bumrush Booking, the third party at hand,
seems the most out of place on the bill. Their events primarily deal with rock bands. However, their involvement with the Buffalo area is somewhat varied. Whatever the motive, it has thus far been a decision met with enthusiasm. The event will take place on the "Last Wednesday" of every month and will feature guest poets and musicians. It will always be hosted by Bourbon and Coffee. If you're interested in getting involved with this event as a performer or as a sponsor, contact bumrushbooking@gmail. com. When asked what his hopes are for the event, Ian Be responded by saying, "I hope it’s a great success."
16 For today's woman
realizing Patriotism
CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, MAY 23, 2014
By Dodi Kingsfield Contributing Writer
Every year for the Memorial Day Parade I have to remember to tuck a couple of tissues in my pocket for when I cry during the procession. It’s not the marching band performance or the cars full of local officials that start my waterworks. It’s the sheer site of our local service men and women, young and old, and their unwavering patriotism that will bring me to tears each and every time. My family stands tall, we salute them and we thank them for their dedication to making us feel safe and secure in our homeland. Memorial Day serves as a public reminder for us to do this, when they actually deserve our gratitude each and every day that we live in this country. To be patriotic or possess patriotism, a person devotes themselves to the love, support and defense of their country in whatever ways they know how. They may
wave a United States fl ag in front of their home and feel patriotic, or partake in Civil War re-enactments or become a member of the National Guard. A person may become politically involved with local or higher level government, lobby for political causes and change or simply write the occasional letter to their local senator communicating their views. However common citizens choose to express their patriotism, American military personnel are the true defi nition of a patriot, believing so strongly that they are willing to give up their lives for the cause. In today’s political times of turmoil, distrust and big government, it’s difficult to develop a feeling of patriotism when one doesn’t wholeheartedly agree with govern-
ment policies. Under the true defi nition, a patriot so loves their country that they are willing to die for the cause which eliminates many American citizens from qualifying. I’ll admit I wasn’t worthy of calling myself a patriot because there were lots of things going on in Washington, D.C. that I didn’t approve of and there was no way I could go down fi ghting for some of our country’s political views and policies. Not until I had the opportunity several years ago to visit a place in Georgia was I able to gain a whole new perspective and realize my patriotism in a completely different way. I gained admiration not for our country, but for the patriots themselves, the soldiers. I found patriotism in our pa-
triots. Just like it states on their website, I left that place “transformed, just as the infantry transforms the man into the soldier.” The place I am referring to is the National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center located just outside the Fort Benning Army post in Columbus, Georgia. Fort Benning boasts one of the greatest infantry and armor schools, including the elite Airborne and Rangers as well as Special Forces for the United States and allied troops. Together, Fort Benning and the National Infantry Museum provide current and historical perspectives on the loyalty, duty, selfless service, honor and integrity of this country’s service men and women. More than two hundred years of history, from the Revolutionary War to the Gulf confl icts, are represented in this 190,000 square foot museum through interactive exhibits, combat simulators, an IMAX theater and recreated stories and events. A visitor gains a true sense of walking through a dark jungle while under fi re, entering the beach at Normandy and
climbing bunkers until you see the whites of their eyes. A visitor also gains perspective of the loved ones of these patriots and the unwavering support necessary for soldiers at home as they fulfi ll their duties. There were wives, husbands and children meeting with their active duty family members, being strong, being supportive and standing side by side with their patriot. Not knowing whether your loved one will return dead or alive, sane or crazy, disabled or whole, and having to handle everything at home alone because they do not have the ability to help out can challenge the strongest of relationships. Yet, many survive and I realized it was because of the patriotism of the entire family unit that they can get through it. As a mother or father, wife or husband, daughter or son, friend or relative, supporting a soldier in the fashion that they need requires a passion for patriotism not possessed by everyone, and was deserving of incredible admiration. With each and every turn and exhibit in the museum, I was reminded of the sac-
rifices and struggles of the soldiers I loved and knew and had not acknowledged in my lifetime. My dad was in the Army, but never saw combat like his older brother in WWII’s Battle of Iwo Jima. My grandfather was a spotter in the 1940’s for German planes and genealogical records indicate I have relatives that fought in the Revolutionary War on both sides. I have friends who served in Vietnam, one received multiple purple hearts, another was a paramedic and another a helicopter pilot. I had a roommate in college who was an Army Ranger and trained to invade Grenada. My cousin still suffers from complications as a result of his time in the Persian Gulf and there were many others whose stories I remembered that day. I left the National Infantry Museum a changed person. I never thought of myself as patriotic, but afterward, I felt the need to thank every soldier that crossed my path and cried at the sight of every one as well, at least for a while. I still did not feel patriotic as I was baffled and moved by the dedication and passion of the soldier who completes his or her duty unquestioning and unwavering in fi ghting for the cause. But I had realized a form of patriotism for the ultimate patriot, the American soldier.

Dear Pastor, I know about Jesus from church. Doesn’t that make me a Christian? I’ll answer this by using an analogy and looking at the question from a different perspective. To begin with, let’s substitute “the President of the United States” for Jesus in your question. I know who the President of the United States is and I am familiar with his political views. I’ve heard him speak on T.V. and have read information about his education, career, and family. However, that knowledge does not make me his son, nor does it mean that I really know him personally. The same can be said concerning Jesus and being a Christian. Knowing about Jesus and actually knowing Him and being Christian are miles apart.
Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church Jamestown fcjamestown.org
Being a Christian is not based on studying the Bible or learning about God in Sunday school. Even being raised in a “Christian home” doesn’t automatically make you a Christian. Being a Christian is based on accepting Him into your heart and having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. A Christian is someone who becomes a part of the family of God. At this point you may be thinking, “How does a person become part of the family of God?” While a person may be biologically born into a family, God has made a way through Jesus for us to be “born” into the family of God.

us. First we have our parents. Then there is our spouse, boss, elders, and pastors. The level in which we display honor to these people can determine the wellness of life and the length of it. Many people live long but there is no wellness in life for them because they have never shown honor to the ones over and around them. For those people long life is not a blessing. Many others have a shortened life because they did not live honorable. Parents are raising children today in a manner which is void of teaching them how to honor those above them. Many parents allow their children to speak defiance at them without correction or discipline. Some parents are indifferent about how their child speaks to their teachers and other adults. Parents like that are a liability to their children and the rest of society. Honor is becoming a lost practice and people have not considered that they are suffering for it. What is honor and how do you practice it?
Honor is defi ned as an attitude that denotes a sense of value. Does your attitude reflect value towards your spouse, boss, or pastor? Have you used your money and time to appreciate these people in your life? If not then you have a shortage of honor which is detrimental to the quality of your life. I am not saying that God will destroy your quality of life; I am saying that when you choose not to participate with honor you hurt your own life. Honor adds quality to a person and quality to their life. This isn't as easy as taking a wonder supplement but as you act in honor you will see your life improve. And let's not forget the ultimate honor we are to bestow: How does your life honor God? Are you at church when the doors are open? Do you tithe? Do you stay away from wrong lifestyles to show honor towards the Lord? Do you pray? Do you praise God in your daily walk? If not you are not living the best life available to you.

Start Summer Travel Season With A Memorial Day Getaway AAA projects more than 36 million Americans to travel for the holiday Contributed Article 6.5 percent to 1.7 milAAA
AAA Travel projects 36.1 million Americans will journey 50 miles or more from home during the Memorial Day holiday weekend, a 1.5 percent increase from the 35.5 million people who traveled last year. Kicking off the summer driving season, more than eight in ten travelers will be driving to their destinations. The Memorial Day holiday travel period is defined as Thursday, May 22 to Monday, May 26. Highlights from 2014 Memorial Day Travel Forecast include: • Memorial Day holiday travel volume is expected to reach a new post-recession high with 36.1 million Americans taking a trip. • The 2014 forecast is the second highest travel volume since 2000. • Eighty-eight percent of travelers (31.8 million) to travel by automobile, up 1.2 percent from 31.4 million last year. • Holiday air travel expected to increase 2.4 percent to 2.6 million leisure travelers. • Travel by other modes of transportation including cruise, trains and buses to increase
lion travelers. • Travelers will encounter slightly higher prices with airfares six percent higher, mid-range hotels up two percent and car rentals costing one percent more. “As we enter into the summer travel season, thoughts of our cold, relentless winter are still fresh in the minds of many Upstate New Yorkers,” said Tony Spada, President and CEO of AAA Western and Central New York. “The winter blues combined with an improving economy and consumer confidence have given Americans the travel bug, and we expect a new post-recession high for Memorial Day travel.”
Impact of gasoline prices on travel plans
With many plans already made and budgets set, it is unlikely that gas prices will have a significant effect on travel plans compared to a year ago.

Ways To Save On Spring Travel Costs
Contributed Article Statepoint
Families eager to enjoy some fun in the sun are turning their attention to spring getaways. According to a recent Bank of America survey, nearly half of Americans say the most difficult part of planning a trip is sticking to a budget. But don’t go over budget or put your dream vacation on the back burner without exploring alternative methods for funding your journey, says travel expert and Travel Channel host, Samantha Brown. “When you start re-
searching vacation des-
tinations, it’s important
to keep in mind that a
credit card with a good rewards program can help offset travel costs,” says Brown. For example, the BankAmericard Travel Rewards credit card offers 1.5 points for every dollar spent that can be used to pay for flights, hotels, vacation packages, cruises, rental cars, baggage fees, theme park tickets and travel upgrades. According to the same survey, 77 percent of American families will use credit cards for vacation planning and shopping this spring. If you’re among them, let your spending help you offset your costs.

House GoP releases aG Budget By David Rogers Special to the Star
twist, the bill language specifies that only rural areas are to benefit in the future from funding requested by the administration this year to continue a modest summer demonstration program to help children from low-income households — both urban and rural — during those months when school meals are not available. Since 2010, the program has operated from an initial appropriation of $85 million, and the goal has been to test alternative approaches to distribute aid when schools are not in session. The White House asked for an additional $30 million to continue the effort, but the House bill provides $27 million for what’s described as an entirely new pilot program focused on rural areas only. Democrats were surprised to see urban children were excluded. And the GOP had some trouble explaining the history itself. But a spokeswoman confirmed that the intent of the bill is a pilot project in “rural areas” only. In the case of WIC and white potatoes, the provision follows on strong lobbying by the industry which is hoping to win similar language Thursday when the full Senate Appropriations Committee is slated to consider its own version of the same agriculture bill.
House Republicans proposed a $20.9 billion budget for agriculture and food safety programs Monday, an 82-page bill that challenges the White House on nutrition rules and denies major new funding sought by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to better regulate the rich derivatives market. The CFTC fares better than in the past in that the GOP allows for a modest $3 million increase for information technology investments. But the $218 million budget is still $62 million less than President Barack Obama’s request and continues a pattern that has frustrated the administration’s ability to implement Wall Street reforms called for under the DoddFrank law enacted in July 2010. In the case of nutrition programs, the House bill seeks to open the door for starchy, white potatoes to be added to the list of qualified vegetables under the WIC supplemental feeding program for pregnant women and their young children. The Agriculture Department would also be required to establish a waiver process for local school districts which have found it too costly to comply with tougher nutrition standards for school lunch and breakfast programs.

Homegrown Farmer Veteran Coalition
By Chuck Zimmerman Special to the Star
Yesterday the Farmer Veteran Coalition announced the national launch of the Homegrown By Heroes initiative. This product labeling program allows farmers, ranchers and fi shermen from all 50 states and U.S. territories who have served or are still serving in any branch of the U.S. military the ability to use the logo on their agricultural products. Consumers and businesses purchasing agricultural products will begin to see this logo at the point-of-purchase and on business signage, enabling them to select products that support our country’s farmer veterans. The Kentucky Department of Agriculture (KDA) created the Homegrown By Heroes labeling as part of its Kentucky Proud marketing program in 2013. More than 60 Kentucky farmer veterans have already registered their farms with KDA to use the Homegrown By Heroes label. At a bi-partisan event in Louisville on Veterans Day 2013, Kentucky’s political and National Guard leaders joined Agricultural Commissioner James Comer as he announced a national partnership for FVC to launch the Homegrown By Heroes program outside of the Commonwealth.
Mark and Denise Beyers are the fi rst certified Homegrown By Heroes producers outside of Kentucky. The high school sweethearts entered the Marine Corps in 1998 and 1999, respectively. While serving in Iraq in 2005, Mark’s team hit an improvised explosive device (IED), resulting in combat injuries that led to the loss of his right arm and right leg. Upon returning from service overseas, Mark and Denise built a thriving maple syrup business on their 15-acre property in upstate New York. The couple will use the Homegrown By Heroes label to help sell the maple syrup they produce on their farm as well as eggs and vegetables they will market in the summer. “Farming and military service are more closely linked that one might think. Thousands of our service men and women leave the rural communi-
ties and farms they call home in order to serve our country in the military. Upon completion of their service, they often return home to resume work on the family farm,” said Michael O’Gorman, executive director of the Farmer Veteran Coalition. “Conversely, we work with hundreds of veterans with no agriculture background who, upon returning from service, see opportunity in farming and ranching and decide to embark on a new career path in agriculture. By supporting this label, we can help the veterans who are serving our country in a new way – by producing the food and fiber that feeds and clothes us all. At the same time, we’re helping thousands of young veterans fi nd a new calling in a farming community whose average age is 58 years.” To qualify for the Homegrown By Heroes label, one must
have served honorably or still be serving in any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, and be at least 50 percent owner and/or operator of the farm business. Veterans of all eras are encouraged to apply. FVC staff assists applicants in developing food safety plans and, if needed, business plans. FVC is now accepting and processing Homegrown By Heroes applications, which can be completed at http://www. hgbh.org. Farm Credit, the nation’s largest network of farmer-owned agricultural lenders, supported the national launch of the Homegrown By Heroes label with a donation of $250,000. The American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF), the National Farmers Union (NFU), and a wide array of other farm organizations also support the Homegrown By Heroes label.

The dollars at stake are less important than the prestige of being judged qualified for WIC, which is considered the premier nutrition program for the government. For the industry, concerned that younger women have moved away from potatoes, gaining access to WIC is an important marketing tool. Just as strongly, critics worry that the end result will be to open the door to other special interests and wreck a longstanding commitment by Congress to let independent scientists decide what foods are most needed. Apart from these controversies, the draft House bill circulated Monday reflects the tight spending caps
agreed to last December for fi scal 2015, which begins Oct. 1. The $20.9 billion total is close to the enacted levels for the current year, and from one program to the next, the ups and downs are typically on the margins and less than $100 million. For example, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is held to $870.7 million, just $45.8 million above current funding. Agricultural research funding appears close to a freeze, and the Farm Service Agency gets just a $27 million increase as it tries to implement the new fiveyear farm bill enacted in February. Similarly, the Food and Drug Administration is promised $2.6
billion in discretionary appropriations, about $23 million over current funding. The bigger increase will come from FDA user fees, which are expected to yield an additional $98 million in revenues to help offset food and drug safety activities. While most of the appropriations debate will focus on these discretionary spending accounts, the bill also covers a broad array of mandatory or entitlement programs including farm subsidies and food aid for the poor. Total mandatory funding — as scored by the Congressional Budget Office — adds up to about $121.6 billion. Added together with discretionary spending, the bill is estimat-
ed near $142.5 billion. On the farm side, an estimated $9.07 billion is provided for the Commodity Credit Corp. and another $8.6 billion is allocated for crop insurance programs. The CCC number reflects promised savings from the new farm bill, but critics also argued that the bills raided conservation accounts, taking more than $500 million from mandatory accounts so as to claim savings to offset discretionary programs. On the nutrition side, the bill assumes an estimated $20.5 billion for child nutrition and school meals and about $82.5 billion for food stamps, formally titled the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP.

a Change in Culture quinTET Of SEniORS HELPS TuRn DunkiRk TRACk PROGRAM AROunD By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
Track and field is unique in the athletic realm in that it’s very much both an individual sport as well as a team sport. For the team to be successful, it needs not only strong individual performers, but also strength in numbers. Six years ago, A.J. Burnside took over as head coach of the Dunkirk High School girls varsity track and field program — a program in shambles after years of low numbers and little success. “The biggest problem was that there wasn’t a feeder program,” Burnside explained. “There wasn’t a successful modified program. If you take a look at the success the boys program has had over the years, that success has built further success. The girls team had a few down years and you’re not going to generate the interest and that model where kids want to be a part of the program.” Yet in a few short years, Burnside has led the Dunkirk track and field program on a total 180-degree turn. As a former Dunkirk track and field star and as a health/physical education teacher in the district, Burnside proved to be the perfect man for the job. “I was very fortunate to

be working in the middle school,” he noted. “Anytime you’re doing a rebuild you need to start with youth. You need to encourage kids to go out for any sport. We just try to direct them to our sport. It was a battle for several years because we kind of stole athletes from the modified program. We probably had some girls that weren’t mentally prepared for varsity, but we had to pull them up for sheer numbers. Now we’re fortunate that we have good enough numbers that we can keep them down on modified. Now we have that feeder program that will keep our program strong.” Almost from the beginning, Burnside has been able to
lean on a quintet of athletes — now seniors — for both leadership as well as results in their respective events. Those five girls have been nearly as crucial to the program’s turnaround as Burnside himself. Rachel Rosas began running in seventh grade and specializes in the 800 meters, mile, steeplechase, 4x800 relay and 4x400 relay. “I’ve noticed over the years that we’ve become more of a family,” Rosas said. “We really cheer each other on. We’re always involved in whoever is running or jumping or doing their events.” Agape Berakah has been on the team since freshman year and has shown off her

extreme versatility by competing in the 4x800 meter relay, 800 meters, shot put, discus and 4x100 relay. “I feel like we all work harder than ever,” Berakah added. “If you win, it gets you more motivated for the next time. Winning makes people hungry to achieve even more. “Coach Burnside has defi nitely become a better coach over the years, too,” Berakah continued. “When we first started, he wanted us to win. Over the years he’s gotten us to just try our best and to want to improve. With that mentality we’ve actually been able to win more events and get better.”

With people still buzzing about the recent NFL Draft, I’ve been trying to keep people calm about grades that “experts” have given their favorite teams. Last week I wrote about how the Buffalo Bills actually had a pretty decent draft despite the national pundits collectively shredding them. This newest class of players hasn’t even hit the field in pads yet, so we’re getting ahead of ourselves trying to decide which teams had good or bad drafts. But what we can do is look at a draft that has already produced busts and steals. So I thought it’d be fun to look at three years ago, the 2011 draft.

Fredonia senior Nick Johnston has committed to play collegiate football at the University of Toledo. “He’s always been a talented kicker,” Fredonia football coach Mike Marshall said of Johnston. “He’s always shown in practice that he could kick the ball really well. This past summer he really took an interest in it and went to a couple camps and got some outside coaching to punt and kick. It really showed this past season.” According to Johnston, the recruitment process was “painful.” “I think I went to at least 15 colleges,” he said. “Being a walk-on punter, they don’t really care. You have to go

out of your way to see them. I had to make sure I knew the best place for me. A year later, I end up at Toledo.” Punting is probably a part of the game that the casual fan takes for granted, but Johnston obviously watches professional games differently than most. “There’s so much technique to it,” he admitted. “Whenever I’m watching a Bills game I’ve got my stopwatch out and I’m timing the hangtime. I’m friends with two NFL punters because they both came out of Buffalo. Jake Schum punts for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Brett Kern punts for the Tennessee Fredonia senior Nick Johnston signs his letter of intent to play collegiate Titans.

quinTET Of SEniORS HELPS TuRn DunkiRk TRACk PROGRAM AROunD, COnTinuED fROM PAGE 24 “He’s a great coach,” Samantha Tuczynski — a sprinting specialist that runs the 100, 200, 400 and 4x100 meter relay — agreed. “He has his days where he’ll yell, but that’s only because he wants us to work our hardest and do our best. He wants us to be there for each other and help everyone else.” Kelsey Slate has competed in the 100-meter hurdles, 400-meter hurdles and high jump since joining the team in freshman year. She was more than happy to share her favorite
memory from her track career. “My favorite moment is this season when I finally hit the 18-seconds mark in the hurdles,” she beamed. “I was very proud of myself.” Those kinds of results have been a daily occurrence over the past few years. In each of Burnside’s six seasons as head coach, at least one of his girls has broken a school record. “It’s my greatest point of pride,” Burnside admitted. “The win-loss record in track is tough to really get a gauge for
where your program is at. Sectional standards and broken records are really what we look at. It’s the biggest reason why I keep coming back for more. The kids are genuinely excited when they break a record. When other kids see them break records it makes them inspired to do the same.” One of those record holders is senior Amanda Michalski, who has been on the team since seventh grade and holds the Dunkirk record with a leap of 33-feet, 9-inches
in the triple jump. “When I first started there weren’t very many girls on the team,” she said. “We weren’t sure what we were getting ourselves into. But we all worked hard and have been able to succeed more and more. “I think through the years Coach Burnside has made personal connections with everyone,” Michalski added. “He fi nds out what everyone wants to do and does what’s best for them. He pushes us because he
knows that we’ll be able to succeed.” In a few short weeks, those five seniors will be graduating from high school and Burnside will be forced to turn the page without the runners that have been with him since the beginning. “You can’t replace the seniors that are leaving,” he said. “There’s no easy way to say ‘this girl will take this senior’s place.’ Their impact far exceeds just their physical running and field event ability. They’re leaders on the team. They’re inspira-
tion to the team.” While Rosas, Berakah, Tuczynski, Slate and Michalski will no longer be on the team, their impact will certainly still be felt. Their presence helped usher in a new era of success for the Dunkirk girls’ track and field team. “Our team has achieved a lot throughout the years,” Tuczynski concluded. “The track program has come a long way. Our team has become a family and I’d defi nitely encourage people to come out for track.”
26 Local sports commentary, continued from page 25 simply never amounted AFC EAST to anything. Two starts Buffalo Bills
Best pick: DB Aaron Williams & S Da’Norris Searcy (2nd round, 34th overall & 4th round, 100th overall) — I’m putting two players here because as it stands now, these two will be the starting safeties for the Bills in 2014. Marcell Dareus has improved every year, but I really like Williams and Searcy. Worst pick: LB Kelvin Sheppard (3rd round, 68th overall) — Sheppard showed promise as a rookie, but was shipped off to the Colts for Jerry Hughes, a move that looks great for the Bills.
Miami Dolphins
Best pick: C Mike Pouncey (1st round, 15th overall) — While his brother in Pittsburgh hasn’t been able to stay healthy, the Dolphins’ Pouncey has already made a Pro Bowl. Worst pick: RB Daniel Thomas (2nd round, 62nd overall) — After three years in the league, Thomas’ career best for yardage is a mere 581 in 2011.
New England Patriots
Best pick: OT Nate Solder (1st round, 17th overall) — A solid pick when they made it and Solder has been the Patriots’ starting left tackle the past two seasons and should be again this season. Stevan Ridley in the third round was pretty nice too. Worst pick: CB Ras-I Dowling (2nd round, 33rd overall) — Taken with the first pick of the second round, Dowling

all Watt has done is register 31 sacks over the last two years and become the scariest defensive force in the league. The addition of Jadeveon Clowney could mean Watt sees less double teams, too. Worst pick: CB Rashad Carmichael (4th round, 127th overall) — After missing his rookie year with an injury, Carmichael did himself no favors by being a liability when he was on the field. He’s now on the Eagles’ roster.
Tennessee Titans
Indianapolis Colts
Denver Broncos
Best pick: OT Anthony Castonzo (1st round, 22nd overall) — A first-round pick that’s played like it, Castonzo has been charged with protecting Andrew Luck’s blindside and hasn’t disappointed. Worst pick: G Ben Ijalana (2nd round, 49th overall) — I hate to pile on a guy for being injured, but the Colts traded up for this guy and he missed both 2011 and 2012 with injuries before being released.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Best pick: WR Cecil Shorts (4th round, 114 overall) — As a fourthrounder out of DIII Mount Union, Shorts wasn’t expected to ever be the team’s No. 1 receiver. Yet he’s led the team in receiving each of the past two years. Worst pick: QB Blaine Gabbert (1st round, 10th overall) — Despite the team giving him plenty of chances, Gabbert continuously fell flat on his face. For some reason the 49ers traded for him this past offseason.
Best pick: DT Jurrell Casey (3rd round, 77th overall) — Casey had 10.5 sacks last year en route to a Second Team All-Pro selection. He could be even better in the future. Worst pick: QB Jake Locker (1st round, 8th overall) — I actually like Locker, but he simply hasn’t panned out as a top-10 pick. Injuries have certainly slowed him down.
AFC WEST Best pick: TE Julius Thomas (4th round, 129th overall) — I realize that second-overall selection Von Miller has been an animal for the Broncos, but Thomas is just a steal in the fourth round. Call this one a draw I suppose. Worst pick: LB Nate Irving (3rd round, 67th overall) — The Broncos had a fantastic draft, so this is a bit of a reach saying Irving was a bad pick. He’ll probably be a starter this season, but maybe not.
Kansas City Chiefs
Best pick: LB Justin Houston (3rd round, 70th overall) — This was one of the easiest choices of this article. Houston is an elite pass rusher that the Chiefs snagged in the third round. He’s a key part of their great defense. Worst pick: WR Jonathan Baldwin (1st round, 26th overall) — A.J. Green, Julio Jones, Jonathan Baldwin. One of these things is not like the other. Baldwin was the
third receiver taken and well…hasn’t had the same success as the first two.
Oakland Raiders
Best pick: WR Denarius Moore (5th round, 148th overall) — Moore hasn’t been a top-10 receiver or anything, but for a fifth-round pick his 130 career grabs aren’t half bad. Worst pick: OT Joe Barksdale (3rd round, 92nd overall) — Normally the Raiders’ worst pick is just their first rounder, but they didn’t have one this year so I’ll go with the guy that only played one season with the team.
San Diego Chargers
Best pick: DL Corey Luiget (1st round, 18th overall) — Though not a draft class to remember for the Chargers, Luiget has started every game over the last two years and has been pretty good in that time. Worst pick: LB Jonas Mouton (3rd round, 61st overall) — Injured reserve in 2011. Inactive for most of 2012. Torn ACL in 2013 and missed the entire season. How’s the for a third-round draft pick?
NFC EAST Dallas Cowboys
Best pick: OT Tyron Smith (1st round, 9th overall) — I’ll be honest, I just assumed the Cowboys were reaching on Smith with the 9th overall selection, but he’s made me look like a fool. He’s among the top left tackles in the game. Continued on pg 27

The Golfer’s Diary is a weekly column for golf lovers. I am entering my third season as a golfer, so I’m not sure I totally qualify as a novice anymore, but I’ll discuss different courses, weather effects, new equipment and more relating to the game we love. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I was under the impression that one’s golf game should improve from the first time out in a new season. That wasn’t exactly the case this past week, despite getting to go out twice in a threeday span. On Saturday morning I got up early, drove up to Cassadaga Country Club and took some pictures of the Bloody Mary Open. It was cold and overcast, but at least it was dry. Golfers were treated to a nice breakfast and, as you might expect, were drinking bloody marys. Mark, Bryan and I went back up to CCC around 3 o’clock, just in time for the tournament to be ending and we basically had the course to ourselves. The first two holes actually went pretty well with a bogey and a par, but then the rains started. It was already cold, but the rain just seemed like a cruel joke.
No one played particularly well actually. Bryan had a couple nice C H A U R N holes, but also a couple T E A horrible holes that H killed his score. Mark played about what he’s been playing all year, but also found his fi rst arch enemy hole – No. 8. If you’ve played The Vineyards you probably just laughed. No. 8 might be the easiest hole on the course. It’s just a straight par 4 with a huge, fl at green. T But for some reason O H H O L Mark just forgot how I C S C to hit the ball.

albeit poorly, until we played No. 6 and just couldn’t take it anymore. We teed off from No. 7, but Mark and I didn’t even bother finishing the hole. Bryan, on the other hand, somehow played out of his mind for those six holes we played. I felt pretty bad calling it quits early because it would have been his best round in years - defi nitely his best round since I started golfi ng with him. But Mark and I were only playing to be finished and even Bryan agreed that a hamburger in the restaurant was the way to go. He also didn’t want to chance playing No. 8 even though he was playing so well. “You’ve gotta know when to hold them and when to fold them,” he said. Nothing kills a round like four-putting, which likely happens on No. 8 at CCC. On the plus side, the Chicken Wing Burger at CCC’s restaurant is out of this world. It’s lathered in chicken wing dip, bleu cheese and Frank’s hot sauce. Add in the seasoned curly fries and you’ve got yourself a meal that can’t be beat. We all agreed that we’ll be trying to fi nish rounds close to dinner time from now on.

course I’ll be back to before too long. Plus it’s very affordable, which is always a plus. One funny story from the round: Upon teeing off on No. 4 — a very long par 4 — I found what I thought was my ball about 10 inches into the rough. I hit a beauty of a hybrid shot and the three of us started walking up the fairway. Maybe 40 yards up we came across a ball plugged in the fairway. I noted “Wow, that’s a nice drive way up here.” Well, upon pulling the ball out, it was actually my drive. And it was a dandy. The ball I found in the rough was just one that a previous group must have lost. Also one note about etiquette: If you’re part of a group of fi ve people that are all brand new golfers, please don’t all come out at the same time. A fi vesome is inconsiderate anyways, but a fi vesome of people that are all learning the game is just rude, especially on a weekend afternoon. As always, golf is great. Go get yourself some.

THE SOLiTuDE Of A GOOD WALk in THE WOODS Mist on Mt. Tuscarora in Allegany State Park as seen from Camp Turner in September 2007. (Photo by Tom Murphy VII)
By Chris Anderson Star Contributing Writer
John Muir once said, “The clearest way to the universe is through a forest wilderness.” In the southern tier of New York State, we are truly blessed with an abundance of wide open space for exercise, exploration and relaxation. From the enchanted mountains of Allegheny County to the rolling hills and breathtaking lake views of Chautauqua County, our region is a naturelover’s paradise. Welcome to my monthly column, Adventure Journal. I will use this space to share a wealth of information
from highlights of local outdoor areas (Panama Rocks, Allegheny State Park, Jamestown Audubon, etc.) to sharing intimate experiences that so often take place when one connects with nature on a cerebral level. This month’s column focuses on the solitude of a good walk in the woods. Have you ever had the need to get away from it all? Have you been stressed at work or life in general just has you down? Human beings have a multitude of ways to defeat the daily stressors that creep into their lives. Some exercise; others have their vices. And, some prefer to go for a good walk in the woods.
Imagine that the only thing that stands between you and a connection with nature is your own stubbornness and time constraints. Make the time to go for a good walk in the woods either by yourself, with a friend or family member. Your mind and body will thank you. A multitude of breathtaking emotions awaits! Explore and experience the crackling of pinecones beneath your feet; the aromatic odor of pine; the sweet and surreal sound of wind howling through the trees; the angelic sounds of birds chirping in the distance; the peaceful sounds of a babbling brook; the opportunity
to breathe in the fresh forest air. You are now experiencing a oneness and connection with the natural world — just you, the forest and nature symbiotically coexisting as one. A good walk in the woods is not only good for your health but is therapeutic for the mind. It erases stressful thoughts and replaces them with positive emotions. One such place to experience these varied emotions is the Audubon Center and Sanctuary in Jamestown. The mission of the Audubon Center and Sanctuary is “to connect people to nature and promote environmentally responsible practices through education at its
center & sanctuary, and in the community.” The Center has more than five miles of trails on a 600-acre wetland preserve. Add to that a nature facility and various interactive and educational programs throughout the year and Jamestown Audubon truly is a place to experience the serenity of the natural world. Located at 1600 Riverside Road, the Audubon Center is open MondaySaturday, 10:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. and Sunday from 1:00–4:30 p.m. Trails are open from dawn to dusk and can be walked for free. Visit this wonderful gem today. As the famous author Henry David Tho-
reau once mused, “As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.” The solitude of a good walk is good for the heart and soul. So, get out there and connect with nature. See you next month. Please feel free to share your own nature journeys by emailing me at denali00@windstream. net.

Chicago was in position for its fourth consecutive win before Carter redirected Drew Doughty's slap shot by Corey Crawford to tie it at 2 just 1:37 into the third. Muzzin then had another power-play score at 4:04 that gave Los Angeles the lead. Once the Kings got going, they appeared to get almost anything they wanted against the sagging Blackhawks.
Tanner Pearson set up goals by Toffoli at 8:59 and Carter at 14:44, and Carter added an empty-netter for his seventh of the playoffs. ''We knew the third period was going to be our best period in this series so far,'' Doughty said. ''We were just adamant in here about coming out, taking the pressure, getting a goal early and we did that.'' It was the first time Los Angeles had five goals in single postseason period since May 7, 1993, against Vancouver, according to STATS. Wayne Gretzky had two of those goals and watched Wednesday's game from a suite at the United Center. It was the most goals allowed by the Blackhawks in a playoff game since a 6-1 loss to Detroit on May 24, 2009. ''Obviously, things unraveled during the
third,'' Chicago forward Patrick Sharp said. ''We're not happy. And we're looking forward to getting on the plane and making up for it in Game 3.'' Jonathan Quick made 23 saves for the Kings, including a big stop on Brent Seabrook with Chicago trying for a 3-0 lead in the second. The Blackhawks got off to a strong start, using their speed to draw four penalties in the first period alone. Brandon Saad was responsible for two of the calls, making a pair of nice moves that ended with Matt Greene in the box for hooking and Doughty sent off for holding. Leddy put Chicago in front with a power-play goal at 14:16 of the first, and Smith beat Quick on a line change to make 2-0 at 1:40 of the second. It was Leddy's second
career playoff goal. He also scored on April 21, 2012, at Phoenix. The Blackhawks had another prime scoring chance when Kris Versteeg made a nice pass to Seabrook on a 2-on1, but Quick got over to make a nice stop on the defenseman's shot. ''Just trying to get it over the post,'' Quick said. ''Fortunate to get a piece of it.'' Quick's play on Seabrook provided more time for the Kings to get back in the game, and they took advantage when Mike Richards' pass to the crease went off Justin Williams' right skate and past Crawford with 1:46 left in the second. Williams' sixth goal of the playoffs cut Chicago's lead to 2-1 after two, and the Kings carried the momentum over to their big third period.

Bills rookie Henderson down to His last Chance
By John Wawrow AP Sports Writer
Seantrel Henderson listens to his weaknesses from the NFL's predraft scouting report on the offensive tackle, and there are no signs of any discomfort or anger. ''Underachiever traits,'' the report reads. ''Suspect maturity, dependability and decisionmaking.'' The criticisms are nothing new. Henderson was dealing with them well before Buffalo selected him in the seventh round out of the University of Miami. ''I don't really think about what anybody really said,'' Henderson said, referring to the pre-draft assessment. ''I know who I am. And I know what I can do. And I know what I can be.'' Henderson is not hiding from the mistakes that sidetracked what had the makings of a promising career. Four years ago, he drew comparisons to NFL star tackles Jonathan Ogden

and Orlando Pace, while being regarded as one of the nation's top recruits coming out of high school in St. Paul, Minnesota. Today, he's grateful to have a shot at playing professionally after acknowledging that marijuana use led to him being suspended several times at Miami, and also confirming he tested positive again for marijuana at the NFL combine in February. Henderson insists that's behind him. ''I feel like in college, I had a lot of maturing to do, sir,'' he said during a three-day rookie minicamp that ended on Monday. ''But at the same time, I have no regrets. I'm happy where I'm at. I wouldn't change it for anything, sir. I'm happy to be here in Buffalo.'' It's in Buffalo where Henderson can begin focusing on what's ahead, while appreciating he's run out of second chances. ''I know for a fact this is
rel, and he knows that he's got one shot,'' general manager Doug Whaley said. ''He's been dealing with some demons. Hopefully, those demons are out of his life. And why not give somebody this is America - a second chance.'' At 6-foot-7 and 331 pounds, Henderson has the frame, skill and nimble footwork of someone capable of exceling at tackle. There were times at Miami where Henderson showed glimpses of Buffalo Bills rookie Seantrel Henderson smiles his potential. during a question from reporters after taking part in drills during their NFL football rookie camp He earned freshman at the team's facility, Sunday, May 18, 2014, in All-American honors.

after being involved in a car accident. In 2011, Henderson had surgery to repair a nagging back problem. Questions, however, have been raised over his passion for football. Bills coach Doug Marrone, a former offensive lineman, is keeping an open mind. ''It's early. It really is. And for me, consistency is the thing. I think over a period of time we'll know,'' Marrone said. ''There is no doubt that he can play. The problem is going to come into can he be consistent enough and disciplined enough and have the structure to be a pro.'' Henderson has plenty of reasons to be motivated, including his 2-year-old daughter and his mother. ''I wake up in the morning, and the first thing I think about is my daughter and my mom, and these are people I feel that I have to provide for,'' Henderson said. ''If I don't, then who else will?''
