Dunkirk habitat, science, recreation and tourism opportunities on and along the Great Lakes. The Great Lakes Experience Festival is a family-friendly event that will showcase ongoing efforts centered on conservation and enjoying the great outdoors. The festival has taken place in Western New York for years, but 2013 marks a first for Chautauqua County hosting the event as the City of Dunkirk and the Dunkirk Chamber of Commerce have both joined the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce to promote and sponsor the activities that will be held throughout the day. “We are very excited to have this unique event come to Dunkirk’s harbor,” said Greg Krauza, director of member development for the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce. “We are

pleased to have provided both funding and human resources to help encourage people to attend a festival that will focus on the environment and ecology of the Great Lakes and at the same time showcase the heritage of our region.” Great Lakes Experience is an organization that was incorporated in 2002. Volunteers who run the group have hosted past festivals in an effort to try and promote education about Lake Erie and Lake Ontario and related native species, habitat restoration, invasive species and other scientific factors about the Great Lakes. The Great Lakes Experience Festival has grown from 300 participants since beginning in 2001 to more than 3,200 people last year. The main goal of the

That being said, our historian, Carlson recently gave me a lesson on impressions of the past, when I erroneously asked him about an old ashery in the county being tied to lye and the manufacture of soap. It turns out soap wasn’t commercially made until after the Civil War, dates which wouldn’t have aligned with the ashery. He followed with this statement: “It wasn’t just styles and political issues that were different, everything was and that is what is hard to teach. People, especially the young, can’t get past themselves. They assume things were eternally the same unless they know otherwise for specifics, when really it is just the opposite. Everything was different except for certain specifics. People had entirely different assumptions and attitudes. They moved and carried themselves differently. Their priorities and taboos were radically different, their tolerances and intolerances radically different. And the ways people think the past was different are more a reflection of themselves than of the reality of the past.”

Fredonia Businessman Ron Johnson announced today that he is seeking the Democratic nomination for Chautauqua County Executive. Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Human Services Management, Inc, owns and operates Johnson Adult Homes of Forestville and Underwood Manor of Hinsdale. Johnson, a U.S. Army Vietnam Veteran and deputy sheriff retiree whose background also includes 20 years working as county deputy sheriff and 16 years as Pomfret town justice. “It is time to bring private sector business know how to our county government,” said Johnson. “As a businessman I understand how to run a county using successful business practices and at the same time treating our employee’s fairly.”

Johnson continued, “The focus of my campaign for county executive will be about jobs. The New York State Department of Labor reports that there are 6,800 fewer people employed in Chautauqua County than there were just seven years ago. The unemployment rate of 8.1% for April 2013 is up dramatically from 4.7% in April 2006. “This campaign is about who can bring jobs back to the community and I have the proven record of success in business.” said Johnson. “As County Executive, I promise that it will be my full time job to convince companies to invest in Chautauqua County and to ensure that jobs remain here for years to come.” The Election for County Executive will be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2013.

Located in the Chautauqua Cemetery, a group of 32 friends have planned a burial site connected by flat, granite headstones along side each other called the “Circle of Friends.” The friends hail from across the country, but are all summertime neighbors at Chautauqua Institution. As they have traveled with each other throughout life, they thought it was logical to also make their final journey together. Two have passed since the project was completed in 2009.

plant. Both invasive species can quickly spread to local ponds, lakes, and streams by flowing from one body of water to another, clinging to boats and trailers, or being transported by waterfowl such as geese and blue heron. In response to the potential threat that these invasive species could pose, flyers will again be distributed to businesses along Chautauqua Lake to raise awareness and to help residents and visitors identify them. Individuals who see either of these plants are urged not to remove them as experts need to analyze and properly remove them from the lake to prevent them from spreading. Instead, individuals should contact Jeff Diers, Chautauqua County Watershed Coordinator, at (716) 661-8915 to report the sighting by leaving their name, phone number, and the location of the sighting. For more information contact Jeff Diers at (716) 661-8915 or diersj@ co.chautauqua.ny.us .

A LOCAL AUTHORIZED DEALER

Chautauqua County Executive Greg Edwards and Chautauqua County Watershed Coordinator Jeff Diers announced today that residents and visitors should be on the lookout for the invasive aquatic plant species of water chestnut and Hydrilla in Chautauqua Lake. “Water chestnut and Hydrilla are two invasive species that could be found in Chautauqua Lake this summer,” said Edwards. “Because of their ability to rapidly spread, they could pose a potential threat to the Lake if they are left to grow and are not properly eradicated.” Last summer the water chestnut was discovered in Chautauqua Lake when consultants for the county collected two specimens of the plant. The discovery sparked two mass searches for water chestnut, which together drew about 50 volunteers who aided in the search to help prevent the plant from spreading. Through these

Each individual nutlet has the potential to produce up to 5 individual plants, each of which can produce an additional 15 nutlets, for a total of 75 nutlets annually. Hydrilla is a submerged aquatic plant and can grow rooted or as pieces drifting in the water. Its slender, branched stems can grow up to 25 feet long. Its leaves are blade-like and about 1/8 inch and 3/8 inch long with distinct toothed edges. The midrib or main vein of the leaves also have more than one sharp tooth along it and leaves are usually 4 to 8 in a whorl. Both of these invasive species can form dense floating mats, which severely limit light—a critical element of aquatic ecosystems. Once established, water chestnut and Hydrilla can reduce oxygen levels and increase the potential of killing fish. They also compete with native vegetation and can limit boating, fishing, swimming, and other recreational activities. Unlike the water chestnut which spreads via nutlets, Hydrilla can spread from small fragments of the

sweeps of the Lake, 17 additional water chestnut plants were discovered in either the Bemus Creek area or the mouth of the Chadakoin River. Although Hydrilla has not been identified in Chautauqua Lake yet, it was discovered last summer in Tonawanda Creek, which is less than 80 miles from Chautauqua County. “The discovery of Hydrilla in Tonawanda Creek last summer was alarming because it is considered by many experts to be one of the worst invasive aquatic species in the world,” said Diers. “It has often been described as Eurasian milfoil on steroids and it is vital that we prevent this invasive species from becoming established in our local lakes and waterways.” Water chestnut is a rooted, aquatic annual plant that can reach up to 15 feet in length and has a rosette of floating leaves, which are green, glossy, and triangular with toothed edges. Each rosette plant can produce up to 15 nutlets per a season.

Eight years of elementary, four of adulthood is a perfect time to live with girlfriends in high school and for many a cozy apartment, rent a young girls, another four country house with siblings years attending a college or move back home to save or university. For many women, those school years up and afford a place of their own. Before making a end this month as they fi nal decision, always weigh walk across that stage to receive their diploma only the options and avoid making hasty decisions that to walk off that stage as an adult. So what’s next in could result in fi nancial catastrophes. the life of a young woman Unless college was paid for after college? The choices by scholarships or parents, appear to be endless. Unless a girl’s parents agree the first college bills come rolling in about six months to fund her life, many of the decisions a young adult after graduation. On top of student loans, there may can make are affected by what they can afford. It all be rent to pay, cell phone bills, groceries and others. comes down to money. If money is no factor, then the Medical expenses and entertainment costs can also sky is the limit for today’s

add up. Life after college is no longer the life funded by Mom and Dad. Life after college can reek with debt and unpaid bills unless approached responsibly and affordably. During the college years, a young girl may have been lucky enough to have her own car or a roommate that provided transportation. After college, reliable transportation becomes a necessity. Depending on where one lives and where they need to go, public transportation may be all that is required. Walking or bike riding is a healthier option and has low impact on the budget. If buying an automobile is the only way, shop smartly and choose wisely before making a fi nancial commitment for the next 72 months at 15% interest due to a lack of credit, which is the case for most college grads. Rent, bills and now a car payment? How does a college grad pay for it all? By getting a job. School is over and it’s time to put that plan into action. Without money, a young lady can’t afford her new adult life

and the more money that is made, the more life she can afford. But it’s not all that bad, because there are so many kinds of employment available. For many grads, fi nding a job in one’s field is the desired goal. For others, working parttime while they search for perfect employment may be an option. Some girls work more than one job, saving up as much money as they can or gaining experiences in more than one field. Other girls may decide to continue their education and put permanent employment on the backburner. The time after college is meant to be a time for exploration, which includes career choices. Pick employment wisely, live within your income and fi nd out what kind of job makes you happy. It adds so much more pleasure to a work day when you do. With a few extra dollars in a girl’s pocket, she can spend a little on her significant other or put it in the bank and take this time to fi nd out what’s important and what she wants before making any kind of com-

mitment. Relationships tend to become more serious after college, eventually leading to long-term commitments. But how can a young girl choose a mate if they haven’t yet learned about themselves? Historically, marriage followed school and was followed by children. In today’s age, women have more choices and deciding not to rush into a relationship is an acceptable choice to make. There are no longer the pressures to commit, girls are more comfortable on their own and there is no hurry to get out of Mommy and Daddy’s house into someone else’s. Relationships should be nurtured, challenged and a priority if there is to be one. A relationship with one’s self may be the perfect place to start. Healthy relationships will eventually follow. To know one’s self takes time. During the college years, time was fi lled with studying and the occasional extracurricular activities. After college, it seems like time is endless after dedicating so much of it to

a single cause. But adulthood can creep up fast, so it’s important to take that chunk of time after college to truly learn what one wants from life. Times have changed just as a young girl changes. Childhood friends may have moved away or lost touch, college friends often move on and never look back, and significant others may have changed, like the college grad themselves. Time has affected everyone, and life after college is different. You aren’t the same person and neither is anyone else. If you have the time, take it now and mull over life after college and what the next chapter is going to be? Travel for a while, join the Peace Corps or volunteer to help those less fortunate. Whichever path you choose, take this time after graduation to live your dreams, put an action plan into place, learn from your mistakes, try new things and start your own independent life. Life after college? The opportunities truly are endless.

more. Multiple cat households should always have one more litter box than the number of cats, on different levels of the house. Dogs: Keep your dog’s activity level up to tolerable levels. Take walks every day (avoid the hot sun in summer and slippery surfaces in winter). Maintain a healthy weight. When putting your hand on your dog’s side, you should be able to easily feel the ribs under your hand, but not between the ribs. For the senior dogs, getting them on a proper diet - maybe even a prescription diet - can make a huge difference in their health. Treats don’t have to be outlawed! Store-bought treats are much too high in protein and calories for our aging dogs. If they are on a special dry diet, use a few pieces of the kibble as treats. Try putting a few pieces in a sealed bag in the freezer. Dogs love the cold crunchiness. Baby carrots are a wonderful treat - sweet, cold crunchy with needed fiber, no calories and low sugar. Review familiar commands with them in a calm setting using fun but healthy rewards. Do this on a daily

basis around the same time every day, but not when they are apt to be tired or over stimulated by household commotion. Occasionally introduce new toys. Those with hidden compartments where they have to work to get the treat are fun and provide a good brain work-out for the dog. Be kind and understanding if your dog’s kidneys are aging as he may have to go outside to urinate more often. The doctor may recommend a lower protein diet to help ease the work those aging kidneys have to do. Make sure to have annual senior wellness profiles done and have exams done at least twice yearly. Don’t ever hesitate to call and make an appointment if you have questions or concerns, and don’t assume that every change you see is a sign of rapid progression of aging. Veterinary medicine has come such a long way in being able to treat the senior pet and provide many comfortable years. Most recommendations and/or prescriptions are not always costly and, in the long run, can be a cost saver.

Our Pet’s Senior Life Contributed Article Fredonia Animal Hospital

As pets get older, they may show signs of changing habits and behaviors. This may be due to a recent move, a new child or pet in the family, stress, or the effects of aging on the body’s joints and organs, including the brain. For some, this change is perceived as happening very quickly. The truth is that, compared to humans who can live into their 80’s or more, pets do age much more rapidly. Changes which may take place in humans over many years, may happen to the pet members of our family over a matter of a couple years or maybe even months. Sometimes behavioral changes may be the first indication of an emerging health problem. Family members may have a feeling that ‘something isn’t right’. This concern and feeling is never dismissed as intuition plays an important role for any caregiver in tune with their pet. Never use your pet’s older age as an excuse for a behavioral change or change in daily routines. Instead, give him or her the benefit of the doubt and make an appointment with the veterinarian so that medical issues can be ruled out or diagnosed. Keeping

our senior pets comfortable and well is our first concern! Our older pets do not tolerate discomfort and pain as well as when they were younger. Pain from arthritis or dental disease can effect a pet’s sleep cycle, eating and drinking habits, mobility (not able to get up the stairs or onto the bed anymore) and even bathroom habits. They may be more fearful, irritable or aggressive. Pets dealing with hearing loss and loss of sight may be less attentive, sleep more soundly, or startle when approached. Previously docile and tolerant pets may become much less tolerant of other pets and small children who make unpredictable noises and movements. Heart disease, renal disease, endocrine imbalance and organ failure can not only make the pet more susceptible to infection, but also cause behaviors such as panting, collapse, frequent urination, inappropriate urination in the house, no appetite, increased appetite, and increase in thirst. Our pets also suffer from brain aging which can have a wide variety of effects including personality changes and disorientation. A pet who previously slept through the night or kept themselves occupied while

the family slept, may wander and vocalize. The American Animal Hospital Association recently pointed out a study of dogs and cats that showed that brain aging in pets is similar to that of our own elderly relatives. These changes affected the pets’ brains ranging from none at all to severe dementia. “Older pets may become less aware of their environments, develop signs of memory loss, and exhibit a decline in learning ability.” Activity: Sleep becomes more and play becomes less. Cats may sleep much more during the day, then pace at night and vocalize. Dogs may show repetitive behaviors such as licking, pacing and barking. Anxiety: Signs of fear may be increased agitation around new people or multiple people. The pet may latch onto and tolerate only one particular member of the family. They may exhibit fears of sounds and movements previously well tolerated. They get disoriented and appear lost in familiar surroundings. House Soiling: Though house soiling in dogs and cats can be a sign of memory loss, it can also be a sign of infection or hormone imbalance, both of which

lost places, continued from pg 1 when they got this stuff out they put it on a barge and it was easier to take it up the lake and dump it off then to try to get it on land.” As reported in Erlandson’s book, a few years after the dredging that made Grass Island, Dr. Whitney built a rock island north of the site near Lakewood Village Park, which was built from rocks quarried from Butts Road above Ashville and barged to the shallow site. Erlandson writes: “although his intentions are a mystery, some suggest it was a foundation for his house or a cottage retreat.” The crib, named for the wooden dam to contain the rocks, was later abandoned, says Erlandson, perhaps because state officials forced Whitneyw to lower it below water level. After more than a century, the ravages of waves, wind and ice have reportedly

“rearranged the rocks so they only break the water when the lake level is unusually low.” Many fantastic stories have been told over the years, including the building of French forts and stone fortresses on the islands, many accounts mistaking the two as one island. Regarding the discrepancy of time accounts, the CCHS document, states that old maps, including those drawn by the Holland Land Company, never show islands in the lake, which may

indicate that the formations in naturally shallow areas were probably built by man. Erlandson’s book, co-authored by Linda Voltmann Swanson features “the history, science, and fun of beautiful Chautauqua Lake,” and is available at Fenton History Center, Roger Tory Peterson Institute, Jamestown Audubon Society, Off the Beaten Path Bookstore in Lakewood and the Chautauqua Bookstore.

can be treated medically and should be ruled out or diagnosed by the doctor. Depression: Pets may appear to be depressed by showing less interest in food, toys, play and grooming. Sleep: Pets may no longer sleep through the night or become much more restless in their sleep. Social Scene: Pets may no longer want to greet visitors or, conversely, they may show a new aggression at the door and become protective. Other household pets may cause anxiety, sometimes just in their presence. If a doctor has ruled out medical issues, unfortunately, there is no magic cure for age related behavior problems, but there are things we can do to make our beloved pet members of the family more comfortable. Specific diet changes and supplements may help. More importantly, you may have to make some changes in your home to accommodate these changes. Keeping pets physically and mentally active (within tolerable ranges) improves cognitive function. Cats: Keep cats active with favorite toys. Hide favorite treats so they can go on a hunting expedition every day. Cats may no longer be able to access food and water bowls placed high up off the floor, such as on the washing machine. If you rarely see your cat eat and have noticed weight changes, consider that he or she may no longer have the mobility to always jump up to the food dish. Cats may require the litter box to be moved to a more accessible location if arthritis or failing eyesight inhibit their mobility. The sides of the litter box may need to be lowered as well if they have a hard time getting up and over them. The older cat may also become much more intolerant of a soiled litter box. You may find that cleaning it more often and not changing the brand of litter on them will make them use it

RELIGION SECTION the weekly word

Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org

Dear Pastor, I just don’t feel like I’m happy. What’s wrong with me? I’m glad you asked this question! This time of year always seems to be a big time for change. The school year is winding down, jobs are changing, people are moving, and there are many weddings! While these may seem exciting, change can also inspire people to evaluate where they are in their own lives. It’s during this process that an individual may realize that they’re unsatisfied with their life. The problem may be, however, that they aren’t sure how they got to this point and so

may be unsure how to “get over it.” I believe, using God’s Word, that I can help free you from this burden and bring you to a place of living each day in God’s joy. As a Pastor, I’ve often had people sharing about their unhappiness. This is usually followed-up (or proceeded by) long lists of the things that are wrong in their life. Money problems, relationship problems, health problems, and/ or a combination of all of these usually make the list of why they aren’t happy. Expecting me to “fi x” all their problems, they are usually quite surprised when I tell them “you don’t need to be

happy….you need to be joyful!” What does this mean? Let’s begin with looking at the defi nition of happiness. When people talk about being happy, they’re usually associating happiness with the acquisition of “good things” and the deliverance from or absence of “bad stuff” in their lives. A sick person usually thinks, “I’ll be happy when I’m well.” A person with money problems is usually waiting for “his ship to come in.” This demonstrates the shortcomings of happiness. It’s dependant on circumstances. This makes us vulnerable and suggests that we

cannot be happy unless or until our problems are resolved. It also sets us up for the deception that unhappiness is inevitable when we have to deal with problems. What does God say about happiness? Very little...if you defi ne happiness as “the absence of troubles.” He does, however, tell us a lot about “joy”. Romans 14:17 says, “The Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” Joy is part of our inheritance! Next time we’ll look at of joy in contrast to happiness.

tips to avoid injuries while Gardening

StatePoint

For many people, gardening is one of life’s greatest

joys. But exercising your green thumb carries some risk. In 2012, more than 41,200 people nationwide were injured while gardening, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Don’t let a day of digging, weeding and watering get the best of you. Take steps to prevent and treat common gardening injuries. Protect Yourself • Safety goggles and gloves shield your eyes and skin from chemicals and pesticides and protect you from sharp or motorized equipment. • Spending hours in the

sun each day can lead to sunburn and can increase your chance of skin cancer. Sport a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses and sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher. Take frequent shady breaks, especially between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. when the sun is at its highest. • While watering your plants, don’t forget to water yourself. Drink plenty of liquids, but avoid alcohol or sugary beverages that will dehydrate you. • Use lightweight hand tools with rubber handles and ergonomic designs. Tools with offset handles make digging and weeding easier. Or cover your

current handles in foam tubing. Sharp, clean tools work better and require less effort, so maintain or replace your equipment often. Handle extenders and reachers can help you reduce the need for bending, reaching and stretching. • Stretch and get ready. “Prepare your knees and low back for all that bending and lifting. Before you get out of bed in the morning, lie on your back and pull your knees to your chest. Then drop your legs from side to side five to 10 times. If you begin this now, you’ll be rewarded with greater flexibility

and a reduced chance of sprains and strains later in the season,” says Dr. Lauri Grossman, a New York chiropractor who has been practicing homeopathy for over 25 years. Natural Remedies • Did you get scraped or cut out there? Treat minor injuries with clove oil or aloe. Aloe also helps relieve sunburn and blisters. • “Before pain gets in your way, treat it at the first sign with a homeopathic medicine that works with your body to relieve pain rather than mask symptoms,” says Dr. Grossman. She recommends a natural pain reliever like Arnicare Gel.

Try it for neck, back, shoulder and leg muscle pain and stiffness, swelling from injuries, and bruising. Arnicare Gel is unscented, non-greasy and quickly absorbed by the skin, so it’s convenient to apply and easy to use anywhere on your body. More information about muscle pain treatment and a $1 coupon for Arnicare can be found by visiting www.Arnicare. com. • For stings and bug bites, apply honey, baking soda, toothpaste or ice. By following a few precautions, you can make this gardening season a safe and pleasant one.

Community Efforts Soar as Westfield Market Continues

Katherine Coleman Star Contributing Writer

The Westfield Farmers and Artisans’ Market is underway after its Memorial Day kick-off, commemorating its sixth year. Still in its infancy, the market is expansive and flourishing. Located right in the hub of Westfield at Moore Park on East Lake Road, every Saturday morning from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. citizens from close and surrounding areas gather to join in the progress and excitement at the weekly festival. In 2009, the market was distinguished among the top ten best farmers’ markets in the nation by American Farmland Trust, an organization dedicated to preserving the integrity of farmers and their land, whom can then disperse produce at the local level. This is firmly seen at the Westfield market, where a strong alliance of famers and artisans create the broad-spectrum of commerce available. It ranges from fresh, local produce to unique commodities. Vintage records morphed into bowls, meditation beads and hand-spun yarn can be seen alongside fresh asparagus, honey and wine harvested and produced right down the road. The selections provided by the market create an interest-

ing and well-rounded experience for all involved. Underlying the market is a colloquial theme- the pursuit of success, of the community’s economy and alliance. Through teamwork and relationship building, barriers are broken, enabling the market to flourish and expand, as more businesses and people engage in teamwork. Arianne Correll, Westfield Market Manager, discussed

“It’s not a shopping eventit’s a community event.” - Mike Williams, Mayville the importance of this communal coalition. She stated, “Let’s throw open all the doors, remove all the obstacles and just let it happen.” This incentive of the market proves to be working. As vendors work in cooperation, they are able to develop and maintain strong bonds. This in turn enables them to deliver quality products to the market, while remaining more of a cooperative than a competition. Large-scale capitalism to date has steered towards a faceless and foreign mode of production. This has begun decimating traditions of intimate exchange, true

right here.” Even on a national level, the USDA is involved. Their intent is to preserve the belt’s integrity, and the market is helping do so, with sales of 100% grape products and juice extracted from this historical grape belt. Judith Einach, Executive Director of the New York Sustainable Agriculture Working Group chimed in, saying, “They (the USDA) know this is a valuable asset to our national agricultural economy.” As well as its economic value, the market allows kinship and an experience for customers. Instead of simply picking out products at the store and using the labels for knowledge, one can get first-hand accounts of the history and work behind what they are purchasing or eventually Patty Hathaway and Judith Einach of Hathaway Farms consuming.

the market so effective and encouraging for customers. “Customers want to know you’re going to be here every week… They want someone who pays attention to them and is going to talk to them. Someone who is reliable.” Vendors at the Westfield Market hold so much knowledge and experience behind what they are selling, and their amiable, helpful attitudes make sales more than just another purchase. It turns a product into a lineage of history, experience and passion. Mike Williams, regular attendant of the market and member of the Mayville Police Dept. shared, “It’s not a shopping eventit’s a community event. The community is missing out on a lot if they don’t come out here.” So, in effect, deciding to shop at the Westfield market is not simply a change in scenery- it is integrating oneself in a movement that is individual, communal and even on a national scale. It promotes personal and economic growth, and enriches the spirit found at the market- one that truly encompasses what a community is about. Strengthening of relationships, businesses and personal growth.

Chautauqua Lake Group visits Holocaust sites in europe

Contributed Article Chautauqua Lake Central School

Powerful. Haunting. Eyeopening. These are just some of the ways students from Chautauqua Lake Central School described their recent study tour to sites where the Nazi Holocaust took place and where the atrocities of that era are commemorated. Teacher Leigh-Anne Hendrick led the group of students, most of whom are enrolled in the elective course she teaches on the Holocaust and genocide studies. Although she had not yet taken the Holocaust course at Chautauqua Lake, Emilie Christie reported, “Mrs. Hendrick and the other girls took special care to make sure I understood the historical context of each place we visited.” They started the trip in Berlin; visited Warsaw and Krakow in Poland; and spent two days in Prague, Czech Republic. The group enjoyed breakfast in Paris on the way home. It was educational just to experience these cultures and sample their foods. The students learned phrases such as “hello,” “good day,” “please” and “thank you” in languages that were new to them. Heather Sampson was moved at seeing the remains of the Berlin Wall. “This whole travel experience made me appreciate life just that much more,” she explained. “I’m happy to be healthy, to live life

Knowing the facts did not impact me emotionally like actually being at Auschwitz, or next to the Warsaw Ghetto wall, seeing where the Jews went to be deported, and so much more.” Emilie’s parents say that the travel experience helped her learn to be more independent. “It was the experience of a lifetime,” said Emilie, adding that the trip “opened my eyes to the tragedies of the world, as well as the wonder it holds. It gave me more confidence and broadened my horizons,” a comment shared by several of her travel companions.

I’m happy to be healthy, to live life free. I will remember it all forever.” Lauren thinks about life differently after having visited the Holocaust sites. “Your life can change almost instantaneously,” she remarked. “You need to live life to the fullest.”

Tech Living Never Used a Computer? Get a Tablet!

By Phil Bens Star Contributing Writer

In recent years we have started to see the evolution of computers from a desktop device to a more portable, mobile device. Business class users have been using mobile devices for years to transact business and stay in touch with customers, but now we are witnessing the growth of mobile devices in the home consumer market. One of the devices that are growing in popularity is the tablet.

I don’t want to recommend a particular brand of tablet, but if you were beginning to search for options you could look at the Kindle Fire, the iPad, the Nook, or the Google Nexus. There are several other manufacturers who make tablets and they come in different shapes and sizes. The average tablet is 7” X 9” and weighs about one pound. They all offer software applications that allow for education, entertainment, and productivity. Software programs that are used on a tablet are referred to as “apps.” There are lots of free apps that are quite good and many that are $3 or less. This reduces the total cost of owning the device. Installing the software is easy to do too - all that is required is a connection to the Internet and a credit card. There are apps for email, social networking, documents, spreadsheets, and all types of games. There are apps to read books and

magazines and peruse the World-Wide-Web. Besides the size and portability, tablets are unique because of the use of touch and gestures to interact with the programs. To those of us that have been raised to use a mouse, this may seem a bit awkward, but to those that have never used a computer, using your fingers can seem perfectly natural. Tablets are sleek and shiny devices that are visually appealing and not as intimidating as a desktop computer. They exude a sense of fun for socializing and education but they also appear classy for business use. I happen to think this is a device that anyone would enjoy and I think seniors and young children would especially love this piece of technology. Philip Bens has worked in Information Technology for 15 years. He currently is the Technology Coordinator at Cassadaga Valley Central School District.

Rotary Student Interact Clubs Focus on Local Community Projects Contributed Article Westfield Mayville Rotary

Student Interact Clubs in the Westfield/Mayville Rotary Club area focus on local community projects, thus defining “Interact” as working together to fulfill Rotary’s motto, “Service Above Self.” Brocton Central’s Interact was started by Rotarians Dave Travis and the late Jack Skahill, who then was BCS’s superintendant. The club’s first meeting was in September 2004, and it has been going strong ever since, this year with 20 members. “We focus on local community projects, the ideas for projects coming from Interactors, their families, myself and my co-advisors,” Travis said. “We also perform at least one international (Rotary) project – usually (for) third-world countries – it (customarily) is a cash donation but has included collecting school supplies to be sent to the project area.” Many of the projects include Coats for Kids coat collection and Preventative Angels for which money is collected through a bottleand-can drive. The money is then used to buy Christmas presents for a family in program.

Comments about their membership in Interact testify to their reasons for belonging. Brocton seniors Patrick Bennett, Alison Wahl, Ryan Mancuso and Jeremy Eckstrom all agree that Interact is definitely worthwhile. “I love being in Interact Club. It’s really nice to be able to give back to the community and help keep it nice,” said Alison, club vice president. Patrick, a board director/officer, is positive when he says, “Interact is an enjoyable and gratifying club to be a member of. It helps me help out my community and peers in ways I never could have imagined. Over the three years of participation, I feel as though

I’ve even become more adept at people skills and handling different obstacles. I’ve overall enjoyed my experience in this club.” “I enjoy participating in Interact Club at Brocton because it allows me to help out the community with specific issues which need to be addressed,” said Jeremy, followed by Ryan, also a club director. “Interact is a wonderful club for students to be involved in. Not only does it look good for college, but also provides a service of group contribution and work ethic while assisting the community.” Ryan sums up nicely for all four Brocton Interacters. “It builds responsibility, time management, respect, wellbeing and social skills.” Senior Mary Schmitz founded Interact at CLCS with Jennifer Davis, music teacher, after her experience at SLAPSHOT, an opportunity for teens to experience “roughing it” with students from other schools. Charity B. Ludwig, Heather Sullivan, Jordan Mulholland and Emilie Christie, all juniors, are excited about being a part of Interact’s start at CLCS. “I have always wanted to lead – lead within my peer group – as well as make a difference in the community and world,” Charity related. “With my future military career in the Air Force, I pray that my God will guide me to a place where I can lead people to a better place through Rotary. My leadership skills have and will grow with me being (club) vice president. I feel that through my

experiences, I will be able to strengthen my ability to lead as well as make a difference on a global as well as local level.” “I believe that Interact is a genuine peace-seeking club which will help guide my future path,” said Jordan. “I joined knowing that it will help me develop worldly goals I know I am going to need as I travel.” Heather Sullivan’s remarks also were clear. “I look forward to being able to help both my community and the world through service projects that Interact will be involved in. Outside of Interact, I am involved in National Honor Society, High School Bowl, the music program at school, varsity athletics and peer educators. I hope to attend SUNY Fredonia for Broadcast Journalism.” As president of CLCS Interact Club, Emilie summed up the value of Interact as did all the students interviewed for this feature. “I am a very active member in many clubs at Chautauqua Lake, such as National Honor Society and Student Administration. Interact is a completely different experience that I am proud to be a part of. “The emphasis on “Service Above Self” is a powerful way to not only change the local community, but to work toward changing the world.”

Gullo continued. “Trent was out of this world. Even on his misses he was right around the plate. He kept them off balance. And what can I say about our defense making all the plays again?” Thompson and the defense needed to be sharp on this particular occasion because the offense struggled to get going against Wayland-Cohocton’s Tyler Brown. The Hillbillies had just three hits of their own but were able to use aggressive baserunning to their advantage. Nick Hart led off the game with a clean single to right field. On a Jude Gardner strikeout, Hart stole second base easily. After Zach Buckley was hit by a pitch, Ley grounded a ball to short

that was fl ipped to second for an out but the double-play attempt was thrown to the fence as Hart scampered home for the first run of the game. That one run would account for all of the scoring until the bottom of the sixth inning. Ley again reached first on an error by shortstop Collin Burke. He swiped second and the throw down trickled away from both Burke and second baseman Spencer Brown. Though the ball never even reached the outfield grass, Ley hustled over to third with just one out. With the infield drawn in, Voss turned on a Brown offering and grounded it through the gap between second and first, chasing

home Ley and giving Thompson some breathing room. “That extra run was huge,” Gullo said. “We needed that so bad. (Wayland-Cohocton) had the middle of their order up in the seventh. For Weston to have the getup to get all the way to third and for Cam to come through was big. Cam has contributed in every game.” Cleanup hitter Mike Murphy hit Thompson’s fi rst pitch of the seventh into left field for a single and went to second on a wild pitch, but Thompson sat down three in a row — striking out the fi nal two batters of the game and sending Fredonia to the state semifi nals.

pine Valley, Frewsburg softball Headed to state Finals By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

Frewsburg expected this kind of success. Pine Valley? Not so much. But both high school softball teams are headed to the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Final Four after upending their Section 5 foes in the Far West Regionals. Pine Valley, playing in Class D, edged Andover 2-1 in Olean on Tuesday. Jessica Wilcox hit a tiebreaking, RBI double in the sixth inning to provide the winning run. Wilcox was also the difference in the circle. The freshman struck out 11 while allowing just four hits and three walks. She shook off a leadoff walk which led to a first-inning run for Andover and pitched shutout ball the rest of the way.

In high school sports you’ll often see a powerhouse program routinely win league and Sectional titles. Fredonia and Pine Valley baseball certainly fit that mold, especially after both teams won Far West Regional championships Tuesday to advance to the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Final Four. The Hillbillies played Section 5’s Wayland-Cohocton in the Far West Regionals for the second straight year. Last year the Eagles were victorious 8-7 in a weatherinterrupted game. This year at Diethrick Park in Jamestown, nothing could derail Fredonia as they rode the right arm of Trent Thompson to a 2-0 win. Coming into the game, Fredonia coach Vince Gullo struggled with the decision on which pitcher to throw — senior Thompson or sophomore lefty Cam Voss. Both have been nearly untouchable for Gullo this season. “It’s a great problem to have,” he said. “Don’t forget about Weston Ley either. You give one guy the ball and he’s phenomenal. It’s the other guy’s turn and he’s just as good. It’s a great situation as a coach to be in. Thompson was lights out. He gave up just three singles and a walk while striking out seven. “We chose the right pitcher,”

Dugan to force extra innings. After a storm delayed the game, Pine Valley got back to business and walked off with the championship in the bottom of the ninth inning. Dugan struck out 13 in that game and only allowed two base runners in the fi rst six innings before things unraveled in the seventh. Wilcox was fantastic in that game as well, striking out nine and holding a senior-laden Forestville lineup in check long enough for the Lady Panthers offense to wake up. Just hours before Pine Valley walked off against Forestville in the Class D championship, Frewsburg did the same against Section 6 Class C foe Cassadaga Valley as the Lady Bears won 3-2.

Cabela’s announces plans For Cheektowaga store

Submitted Article Cabela’s Incorporated

Cabela’s Incorporated (NYSE: CAB), the World’s Foremost Outfitter® of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear, announced plans to bring the extraordinary Cabela’s retail experience to customers in Cheektowaga, part of the greater Buffalo area. Construction on the

88,000-square-foot store is scheduled to begin this fall. Cabela’s expects to open the store — its first New York location — in the fall of 2014. “We are very excited to bring the Cabela’s retail experience to New York,” said Cabela’s Chief Executive Officer Tommy Millner. “We have thousands of loyal customers across the state who are passionate for the outdoors and who share the

Cabela’s lifestyle. Cheektowaga’s proximity to Canada, where we also have a loyal following, makes this the perfect location.” The store is expected to employ up to 200 full-time, parttime and seasonal employees. Most will come from Cheektowaga and the surrounding area. It will be located at the southwest corner of I-90 and Walden Ave. in a shopping center to be renamed “Ca-

bela’s Crossing.” Benderson Development owns and manages the development. The building’s exterior will reflect Cabela’s popular store model with log construction, stonework, wood siding and metal roofi ng. A large glass storefront will allow customers to view much of the store’s interior as they approach the building. The interior will

be built in Cabela’s nextgeneration layout, designed to surround customers in an outdoor-like experience with museum-quality wildlife displays. “We are extremely pleased for the opportunity to bring the very first Cabela’s to New York State and especially proud to bring it to our hometown,” said Randy Benderson, President, Benderson Development Co.

In addition to thousands of quality outdoor products, the store will include a large mountain replica, a Gun Library, Bargain Cave, Boat Shop, Indoor Archery Range, Deli and Fudge Shop. Currently Cabela’s operates 44 retail stores across North America. The company has announced plans to open 14 new stores over the next two years.

Golfer's

D i a ry

WHAT AN UNBELIEVABLE DAY FOR GOLFING

TU M

RIAL

it took me twice as many shots to sink it as the last time I played CCC. It’s a par five and I bogeyed it — not terrible, but it doesn’t hold a candle to my lone career eagle I scored a couple weeks ago. So after taking the morning off to golf, I had to go into the office that afternoon to get some writing done. With the weather still immaculate, all I could think of was golf as I sat at my computer. So when I got home and the wife went out for the evening, I decided to head out to Sugar Hill Golf Course in Westfield. Right off the bat I knew I was on my game. No. 1, which is the lone par 5, is a hole that I have never scored a par on. I’ve certainly had my chances, even had a few birdie putts, but then choked my way to a bogey. But when drive, 4-iron, pitching wedge, putt from fringe, putt left me with a par, I was feeling it. I followed that with my best drive ever on No. 2, which requires a monster drive over a pond. No sweat. Granted, I did hit my second and third shots horribly which left me with a double bogey, but I was still at bogey golf after two. I then managed a par on four of the next seven holes, including both of the par 3’s. On No. 8 I actually came my closest ever to a hole-in-one. Of course

O EM

My golfer’s diary will follow my golf outing(s) for the week. I’ll look at how course conditions, weather, equipment, playing partners, etc. affect the game we love. Please keep in mind that I only started golfing last year, so yes, my scores are hardly that of a scratch golfer. But that’s what makes golf great: You don’t have to be a zero handicap to enjoy the game. Last Friday was probably the day I finally realized that I am, in fact, addicted to the game of golf. I went out to Cassadaga Country Club in the morning with brother-in-law Scott and buddies Bryan and Matt. It was actually the first time this year that I’ve been able to get a foursome together. It was pleasant in the morning, but as the sun kept going up so did the temperature. Luckily CCC has some decent shade around the tee boxes and greens so we didn’t collapse from heat exhaustion. For the seventh consecutive round, I stayed in the 40s with a 46. I hit the ball really well, but once again, the putts just weren’t falling. One huge thing that I’ve been proud of is that I went another round without having to write anything bigger than a “6” on the scorecard. Playing bogey

golf is what I’ve been shooting for, so being 11-over in nine holes is pretty close. My best shot of the day came on No. 3. It’s a short par 4, but there’s a creek that cuts across the fairway just before the green. I don’t have the ability to drive over the creek so I always have to lay up. Unfortunately I didn’t lay up very well and left myself on the left side of the fairway, right behind a gigantic cluster of trees. With nothing but green giants between me and the green, I decided to be greedy rather than safe and pulled out the pitching wedge and gave it a whack. The ball just, I mean just, cleared the tops of the trees and landed a mere five feet short of the green. Three weeks ago it’s probably not a shot I would have even attempted, so I was thrilled with the result. My second-best shot of the day actually came on a drive. On No. 7, which is the tee box way up on the hill that overlooks the entire course and Cassadaga Lake, I smoked my ball off the tee. It had plenty of carry to get over the pond and landed perfectly between two sand traps. A weak chip left me with a super long birdie putt so I settled for par. It always feels good to get up and down on a hole that has killed you in the past. The only downside of the round was that on No. 9

CCFF Camo open once again a success By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

The beautiful Cassadaga Country Club was once again home to one of the more unusual golf tournaments in the area on Saturday. A full slate of 72 golfers donned all manner of camouflage hats, shirts and shorts to participate in the 8th Annual CCFF Camo Open. “We ask everybody to wear at least one piece of visible camo,” tournament director John Crossley said. “If you don’t you get ragged on by the other guys pretty good when you show up.” Almost everyone adhered to the rules with at least one golfer out on the course in his animal-fur cap along with his camo outfit. Most golf tournaments have closest-to-the-pin contests or prizes for longest drive, but that would be too mundane for such an event as the Camo

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 2013

third annual summer Bruise in

Contributed Article Babes of Wrath

Summer in Jamestown gets even hotter as Chautauqua County’s women’s flat track roller derby team, the Babes of Wrath, take on the Nightmares on Main Street from Corry, Pa. The bout is set for Sunday, June 9 at Allen Park Ice Rink (200 Elizabeth Avenue, Jamestown). Doors open at 4 p.m. and the whistle blows at 5 p.m.

Presale tickets are available for $8 at Labyrinth Press Company (12 E. 4th St., Jamestown), Russell Roller Rink (7385 Market Street, Russell PA) or can be purchased from your favorite Derby Girl. Tickets

will be available at the door for $10 and admission is free for kids 12 and under. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Meals on Wheels, a local organization that provides affordable meals to seniors

in the area. The Babes are giving all a chance to show off their classic cars, trucks or bikes pre-bout at the “Cruise In at the Bruise In”, sponsored by Reid’s Powersports, and Jamestown Harley Davidson. The Cruise In will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. and then the roller derby action begins. For more information, visit www.Babesof Wrath.com or check out Chautauqua County Roller Derby on Facebook.

PINE VALLEY AND FREDONIA HEADING TO BINGHAMTON CONTINUED FROM PG 1 “We’re struggling hitting,” Gullo admitted. “But who cares? We’re going back to states.” Pine Valley will return to the Class D state semifinals for the second straight year after the Panthers took care of business against Section 5’s Lyndonville, 3-2, Tuesday in Batavia. Tyler Swanson was the workhorse on the mound

for coach Chris Buczek’s crew. The senior righty tossed a complete game with seven strikeouts. He allowed five hits and five walks but limited the damage with timely pitching and help from his defense. Pine Valley plated a pair of runs in the sixth inning after being held to just one in the game’s first five. Lucas Trombley chased home

Spencer Sticek with an RBI groundout to tie the game before Swanson helped himself with an RBI single to center field that brought home Thomas Raiport with the eventual game winner. With a one-run lead, Swanson really had to buckle down in the bottom of the seventh. In a playoffs that has been filled with walk-off wins, the Panthers didn’t want to be

just another victim. After the Eagles put together back-toback one-out singles, Swanson got a fly out and a swinging strikeout that sent his teammates flying to congratulate him on the mound. Pine Valley will now take on either Section 2’s Fort Ann or Section 10’s Huevelton at 1 p.m. on Saturday at McArthur Park’s Conlon Field in Binghamton.

Annie Berg scored the winning run in the bottom of the eighth after leading off the inning with a mammoth triple to deep left field. “She’s been hitting the ball hard and she’s real confident at the plate,” Frewsburg coach Jon Blanchard said of Berg. “There’s

who can hit the ball and put it in play. Today it was Annie. She came through when we needed her.” With the winning run just 60 feet away and nobody out, it seemed like only a matter of time before Frewsburg clinched its third straight Sectional title. Thanks to Emily Hair, the

the outfield drawn in, Hair looped a ball over the left fielder’s head to chase home Berg and send the Frewsburg faithful into a frenzy. “She’s been hitting the ball hard,” Blanchard also said of Hair. “When she came to the plate with Annie on third base, I had all the confidence in the world that she was going to put the ball

out of the infield somewhere. That’s exactly what she did. What a great hit by her.” Not lost in the Frewsburg win was the outstanding effort and season from the Cassadaga Valley Lady Cougars. Eighth-grader Alyssa Hahn showed unbelievable poise in the circle as she held the hardhitting Lady Bears off the scoreboard from the second inning through the eighth. “I brought Alyssa up in the playoffs last year and threw her a few innings in a game that was a little out of hand,” Cassadaga Valley coach Ken Balling said. “I didn’t expect her to be my No. 1. Alyssa did a great job. It was a gutsy performance. She hung in there.” “She does spin the ball well,” Blanchard added of Hahn. “I have to give a lot of respect for what she did. She spins the ball left and right pretty well. She was able to get our girls to hit ground balls at people. She bent a few times but didn’t break. I have to take my hat off to them and Coach Balling. He did a great job of bringing his team back and played extremely competitively.” Frewsburg followed that up by making quick work of top-seeded Keshequa, 8-1 in the Far West Regionals. The Section 5 champ had previously been undefeated but senior hurler Sam Mott kept them off balance and allowed just six hits while striking out six. Mott, Hair and McKenzie Cass all had two hit with Hair delivering the big blow with a two-run home run. A five-run sixth inning took all the pressure off of Mott and she was able to finish the job. The Lady Bears will be making a third straight trip to the New York State Final Four when they travel to the Adirondack Sports Complex, Saturday at 9 a.m.

COMMENTARY CONTINUED FROM PG 1 Donaghy, if you’re not familiar, is the referee who admittedly was betting on games that he was officiating. He also came out with a book detailing how NBA refs hold grudges against certain players (see Wallace, Rasheed) and are encouraged to give favorable calls to star players. Why would he call a third foul on LeBron James when he knows that will put him on the bench for the rest of the half and the viewers will turn off their TVs? Now I’m no fool. I realize this is the opinion of just one man — a man who was disgraced from the game and was probably looking for a way to get back at the league or just make a little money. But this is also a man who was literally inside of the game for years. He has forgotten more about basketball then any of us will ever know. Plus I’ve watched enough professional sports to come to my own conclusion that this kind of stuff happens in sports. There’s no doubt about it. Remember the Super Bowl last year? You think the NFL brass was happy when the Ravens went up something like 21-0 right out of the gates? Of course they weren’t. People are more apt to turn off their TVs during a blowout. Not surprisingly the 49ers VERY quickly came back after the power outage. I suppose I should point out that I hold a personal grudge against Donaghy. It was during the height of my NBA fandom that my Suns played the San Antonio Donaghys **er** Spurs in the playoffs in the most one-sided called series I’ve ever seen. That was the only the start of why I stopped caring so much about the NBA. I should also mention, before you think I’m just hating on the NBA, that I still watch some games and I check the standings every day in the regular season. I follow the Suns games on my phone when they’re playing. I still pay attention, I just don’t care. If that makes any sense. The second part of my sagging NBA fandom is brought about by the fact that the Suns have been horrible for the last several years. Now don’t ever, ever say that I’m a fair-weather fan because I’m also a die-hard Pittsburgh Pirates fan and well…they haven’t been any good since I was six years old. It’s not just the fact that they’re bad, it’s the fact that the Suns have the worst owner in all of professional sports. Robert Sarver has more money than God and yet has let an All-Star team leave Phoenix because he didn’t want to pay them what they’re worth. Amar’e Stoudemire, Joe Johnson, Shawn Marion and Steve Nash are just a few of the

notable superstars to be chased out of town. Even guys like Leandro Barbosa, Raja Bell and Boris Diaw were key pieces of a championship-caliber team that Sarver let walk. Plus he trades away draft picks as if he’s playing NBA 2K13. It’s tough being a Pirates fan sometimes, but it’s just embarrassing to be a Suns fan. The last thing that really irks me about the NBA is this recent trend towards superstar teaming up. Obviously LeBron going to Miami to play with Dwyane Wade Chris Bosh is the high-profi le one, but Nash-Kobe-Dwight in LA; Amar’e-Carmelo in New York and Chris Paul ditching the Hornets to go play with Blake Griffi n and the Clippers are all examples of that too. I just have a hard time imagining Michael Jordan thinking “I could win another title if I played with Patrick Ewing.” No, MJ wanted to destroy his rivals, not team up with them. Would Reggie Miller have won a title if he left Indiana? Maybe, but that’s not the way players thought back then. It’s just a shame that they do now. The worst part is that it’s turned the NBA into college basketball. Fifteen years ago you could have looked at the league and made a legitimate argument for a dozen or more teams winning the title. Now, how many actually had a chance? I’d say only Miami in the East and maybe Oklahoma City, San Antonio and the Lakers (who admittedly choked badly this year) in the West. That’s it. Fans of every other team might as well hope to lose and get a high draft pick. It’s really a shame the NBA has turned me off so fervently because it’s in a golden age of marketable stars. Besides LeBron you have Kevin Durant, Chris Paul, Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant as established superstars and young guys like Kyrie Irving, Andre Drummond and Derrick Favors could very well earn the “superstar” label as soon as next season. Heck, Irving might already be there. I’d like to look at this year’s NBA Finals and see LeBron there for the millionth year in a row and think the he’s simply a great player. But in the back of my head I just can’t get over how many more viewers the NBA is going to have with the Miami Heat playing for a championship rather than the Indiana Pacers (though Paul George will be a household name soon enough). Coincidence? Maybe, but not if you believe Tim Donaghy. Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 2013

Five Things To Watch In The NBA Finals By Tim Reynolds AP Basketball Writer

And then there were two. For the third straight year, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat made their way to the NBA Finals. And for the first time since 2007, it's the San Antonio Spurs representing the Western Conference in the championship round, with the same three-man core that won a title six years ago and had heard plenty of whispers since that they were too old to do it again. The series started Thursday night in Miami, so here's five things - a starting five, if you will - to watch: ---

LEBRON'S LEGACY

He got his championship last season, so LeBron James will never have to hear that ''Will you ever win a title?'' question again. But he was swept by the Spurs when facing them in the 2007 finals as a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers, so for the league's four-time MVP, this is a chance to erase at least some of the sting from that awful memory. And because the Spurs had more than a week to get ready for the series, look for San Antonio to throw an unexpected defensive wrinkle or two at James. It won't be anything major, because the Spurs certainly aren't going to try to reinvent themselves now, but a little something to keep the Heat guessing wouldn't be a surprise whatsoever. If James gets his second ring, even more doubters will have to stop doubting. If he and the Heat fall in this series, the noise levels will ramp up, especially consid-

ering that he could choose to leave Miami in the summer of 2014. ---

DRIVE FOR FIVE

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich and power forward Tim Duncan clearly have one of the closest coachplayer bonds in the NBA. Both are well-spoken, attention-shunning, fierywhen-necessary guys who just win every single year. And history is awaiting them, since they could win their fifth championship together and would have done so in three different decades if the Spurs can knock off the Heat in this series. They are models of consistency for one of the NBA's model franchises. Consider: Starting with the 1989-90 season, the Spurs have won a staggering 67 percent of their games two out of every three, for practically a quartercentury, easily the best clip in the league over that stretch. They've had only one losing season in those years, and that was a year where injuries kept David

Robinson out of all but six games. When that miserable year ended, the Spurs drafted Duncan. The rest is history. ---

HEAT HEALTH

Everyone knows Dwyane Wade's right knee is aching, and that's not going to change in this series. And Chris Bosh has been decidedly off of late as well, though he insists he's physically fine. But the Heat were pushed to the absolute limit by the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals, in large part because two-thirds of their Big Three spent most of that series struggling. If they struggle again in this series, plus continue to see other players mired in slumps (Ray Allen and Shane Battier both had tough times against Indiana), the reigning champions could be in major trouble. ---

ON GUARD

Mario Chalmers and Kawhi Leonard might be the biggest keys in this series for their respective

clubs, and yes, you read that correctly. They'll likely draw the toughest defensive assignments on the planet when the finals begin, with Chalmers set to open against San Antonio's Tony Parker and Leonard expected to match up with Miami's LeBron James. It's not in the nature of either team to leave defenders on an island and without help, so Chalmers and Leonard obviously won't have to handle the daunting task of slowing the other team's best offensive threat on their own. But if either gets overmatched early, their club will have to make a quick adjustment, or else run the risk of letting a superstar get on a superstar roll. ---

TOUGHEST GIG

Finally, the toughest job in the NBA Finals may be the one held by a former Providence guard who was one of the best players in the Big East. (Go ahead and think for a moment, because neither the Spurs nor the Heat have any players from Providence on their rosters.) We're talking, of course, about ABC/ESPN analyst Doris Burke, whose job as the series sideline reporter includes the unenviable task of conducting those in-game interviews with coaches after the end of the first and third quarters. Erik Spoelstra doesn't mind doing them, though isn't going to offer any intricate strategy. Gregg Popovich is not a fan, and recently set an NBA record by needing only one word to answer two of Burke's in-game questions, saying ''turnovers'' in reply to each of her queries.

Deacon Jones: Football’s Most Feared Sackmaster By Barry Wilner AP Pro Football Writer

His nickname belied his calling. David ''Deacon'' Jones was the most feared member of the Fearsome Foursome, the original sackmaster. Reggie White, Bruce Smith, Lawrence Taylor they all followed the lead set by Jones, who died Monday at 74. ''Deacon Jones was one of the greatest players in NFL history. Off the field, he was a true giant,'' said Redskins general manager Bruce Allen, whose father, George, coached Jones with the Los Angeles Rams. ''His passion and spirit will continue to inspire those who knew him. He was a cherished member of the Allen family and I will always consider him my big brother.'' Not only was Jones the main practitioner of the sack in his 14 pro seasons, he coined the term. He once compared bringing down quarterbacks to hog-tying them in a sack. He was smiling when he said it. Yet Jones never got the statistical credit for all those QB knockdowns; sacks didn't become an official statistic in the NFL until 1982. Jones retired after the 1974 season, having played 11 years with the Rams, two

with the Chargers and one with the Redskins. Rams stats show Jones with 159 1/2 sacks for them and 173 1/2 for his career - all unofficial, of course. Jones also was one of the most durable players, missing just five games in his pro career. He entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1980. ''He was an icon among the icons,'' Commissioner Roger Goodell said. ''Even with his fellow Hall of Famers, Deacon Jones held a special status. He was a hard-charging football player and the original sack artist who coined the term. He is warmly regarded by his peers not only as one of the greatest players in NFL history, but also for his tremendous influence and sense of humor.'' Jones was held in such high esteem that when he made the league's 75th anniversary all-time squad, it prompted former teammate and fellow Hall of Famer Jack Youngblood to say: ''Deacon Jones has been the most inspirational person in my football career.'' That sort of praise was typical for Jones, the anchor of the Fearsome Foursome. Jones made the Pro Bowl every year from 1964-70 and played in eight overall. He combined with Hall of Famer Merlin Olsen, Rosey Grier and Lamar Lundy on a defen-

sive line that at times was unblockable. Olsen died in 2010 at 69 and Lundy died in 2007 at 71. Grier, 80, is the only surviving member of the Fearsome Foursome. ''Deacon was an incredible team guy and he always wanted to win, he wanted all of us to run the race together,'' Grier said Tuesday. ''We didn't play run, we played pass and we all came off the ball together. The whole point was to get in the backfield fast and mess everything up. They couldn't stop the Fearsome Foursome - we made a great contribution to the game of football.'' George Allen, who coached the Fearsome Foursome, called Jones the ''greatest defensive end of modern football.'' The Allen family had Jones present George Allen for his Hall of Fame induction in 2002, yet another example of the regard in which Jones was held. ''Not only to coin the term sack, but just his personality of being a defensive lineman; his charisma and his presence,'' Smith, the career sacks leader by official count with 200, told NFL Network. ''When he walked into the room, he commanded respect, whether it was on the playing field or his choice of words. This is going to be a great loss for all of the football nation,

the fans and particularly those who loved him dearly like myself.'' After he retired, Jones appeared in some TV commercials and later began an eponymous foundation in Anaheim Hills, Calif., that encourages youngsters from inner-city schools to become leaders in their community. The Redskins said Jones died of natural causes. In 2009, he told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch he had undergone lung surgery and received a pacemaker. That year, the Rams retired his jersey number, 75. As for that nickname, well, when Jones joined the Rams out of Mississippi Valley State as a 14thround draft pick in 1961, he wanted to make himself memorable. Eventually, he'd do so every game on the field, terrorizing blockers, runners and passers. At first, though, he believed he needed to stand out on the roster. ''No one would remember a player named David Jones - there are a thousand David Joneses in the phone book,'' he said. ''I picked out Deacon because it has a religious connotation and it would be remembered in the violent pro football world. When the Rams sent out my player questionnaire, I simply listed my name as Deacon Jones. From then on, that's what I was.''

MLB Power Rankings (through june 5, 2013)

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

These weekly power rankings are based on more than just standings. They are the opinion of just one person and meant to facilitate discussion. Feel free to disagree with the rankings and send your thoughts to stefan.gestwicki@star-mediagroup.com. 1) St. Louis Cardinals 38-20 Road Warriors: No team in baseball has more road wins than the Cardinals (20-9). 2) Boston Red Sox 36-23 How about that 17-spot they put up on Texas? This offense can be scary good when it’s on. 3) Cincinnati Reds 36-23 Huge home series against the N.L. Central-leading Cardinals starts Friday. 4) Atlanta Braves 37-22 A big reason they have a 7.5 game division lead: Braves are 7-3 against Washington. 5) Texas Rangers 35-22 The pitching staff has allowed the fewest runs in the A.L. even after debacle against Boston. 6) Oakland Athletics 35-25 It sure looks like that mini-skid was the aberration, not the hot start or recent tear. 7) New York Yankees 34-25 West Coast road trip could be telling for the healing Yankees. Nice series win over Tribe. 8) Arizona Diamondbacks 33-25 Lefty Patrick Corbin simply wins. He’s now 9-0 with an ERA a shade over two (2.06). 9) Baltimore Orioles 33-25 Chris Davis is averaging a home run every 10 at-bats or so. Strikeouts are still a concern. 10) Pittsburgh Pirates 35-25 Neil Walker and Gaby Sanchez both have 99 career doubles. Who reaches 100 first? 11) Detroit Tigers 31-25 The record doesn’t reflect it, but Tigers have the best run differential in the A.L. 12) San Francisco Giants 31-27 Buster Posey (.307/.388/.508) continues to put up huge numbers from a premium position. 13) Colorado Rockies 31-28 Troy Tulowitzki, Michael Cuddyer and Carlos Gonzalez are 2-3-4 in the N.L. in OPS. 14) Tampa Bay Rays 31-26 It will be interesting to see how Matt Moore bounces back from his first loss. What a run. 15) Washington Nationals 29-29 Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg are hurting. So are the Nats chances in the East. 16) Cleveland Indians 30-29 That was a pretty uninspiring effort in New York. The Chris Perez saga just got weirder. 17) Philadelphia Phillies 29-30 Nobody will question Domonic Brown’s patience if he homers every game. Red hot! 18) Seattle Mariners 26-33 Raul Ibanez has scored 998 career runs. It’ll be weeks before he hits 1,000 in this offense. 19) Los Angeles Angels 26-33 This team has lost six of nine to the Astros? Those are the games you regret in September. 20) Minnesota Twins 26-29 Justin Morneau’s next HR will tie him with Kirby Puckett for fifth all-time for Twins. 21) Los Angeles Dodgers 25-32 Yasiel Puig has as many home runs as Matt Kemp in 183 fewer at-bats. The kid’s a stud. 22) San Diego Padres 26-32 Blowing two three-run leads in one game is hard work. Kudos for your awfulness Friars. 23) Toronto Blue Jays 24-34 How long until the Jays clean house of the same guys the Marlins dumped on them? 24) Chicago White Sox 24-32 Paul Konerko will play his 2,115th game, tying for second on CWS all-time list (Nellie Fox). 25) Chicago Cubs 23-33 This starting rotation (minus E. Jackson) is legit. Too bad the bullpen is a train wreck. 26) Kansas City Royals 23-32 It’s getting harder and harder to believe that this team started 1711 … 6-21 since then. 27) Milwaukee Brewers 22-35 Ryan Bruan’s next HR will be No. 212, tying Geoff Jenkins for No. 3 in Brewers history. 28) New York Mets 22-33 A fourgame losing streak is just the latest development in another lost season. 29) Houston Astros 21-38 That fivegame winning streak might assure Astros of never being No. 30 here again. 30) Miami Marlins 16-44 Here’s hoping former Jammer Marcel Ozuna will be the Marlins’ All-Star representative.

THE LURE OF CHAUTAUQUA There’s nothing quite like the draw of water. I was meant for the summer months and what says summer to me is the beckoning of Chautauqua Lake, along with ice cream, flip flops and anything nautical. I’ve already visited in early May on my way to Ohio. The sign for Mayville and my realization of how close we were to that grand oasis made the car magically detour to that exit. I enjoyed the sun’s reflection on the water and the couple of boats as they cruised on past. Lunch was taken in at Webb’s via a window seat. Their candy store and gift shop also whispered to me. My yearly trip there isn’t complete without a chocolate covered oreo or two. It was good; I only bought one for myself in milk chocolate and one for my husband in dark. Additionally, the pecan turtles caught my eye and before you knew it one crawled into my hand. There wasn’t time for it to melt. It was hard for me to share the several of these that I purchased! We didn’t pass my favorite little grocery mart with the painted lighthouse, but it is engraved in a memory as is my recent jaunt there even though it was only for an hour or so! The love of the water flows on.”

Phantom of the Opera Saturday, July 20, 7:30pm One of Hollywood’s classic silent films, Phantom of the Opera starring Lon Chaney, comes to life with a live musical score performed by the Andrew Alden Ensemble. Based on the Gaston Leroux novel of the same name, this 1925 American horror film is the tale of a deformed Phantom who haunts the Paris Opera House causing murder and mayhem in an attempt to force the management to make the woman he loves a star. The movie remains most famous for Chaney’s intentionally horrific, self-applied makeup, which was kept a studio secret until the film’s premiere. Live

music for the film will be provided by the Andrew Alden Ensemble, a contemporary chamber music group based at Boston’s Berklee College of Music. Call 716-679-1891 for information or visit www.fredopera.org 1891 Fredonia Opera House, 9 Church St., Fredonia, NY 14063 General Admission Tickets: $12 ($10 Opera House Members)

An Evening with FDR Friday, August 16, 7:30pm On August 14, 1936, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt delivered what has come to be called his “I Hate War” speech at the venerable Chautauqua Institution. To commemorate the 77th Anniversary of this historic event, the Opera House presents Albert McFadyen in An Evening with FDR. American History comes to life in word and song as Roosevelt’s presidential years, 1932-1945, are explored. McFadyen, the voice of FDR in Ken Burns’ PBS series “The National Parks: America’s Best Idea” and a contributor to Burns’ upcoming “The Roosevelts” takes the audience on a trip down memory lane. All of the major events of The Great

Depression and the World War II years are explained in words and song by one of America’s greatest presidents. Call 716679-1891 for information or visit www. fredopera.org 1891 Fredonia Opera House, 9 Church St., Fredonia, NY 14063 General Admission Tickets: $12 ($10 Opera House Members)

Exhibition Series of Great Art: Munch 150 Thursday, September 5, 7:30 p.m. Throughout 2013, all of Norway will be celebrating the 150th anniversary of the birth of Edvard Munch (1863-1944), one of the towering figures of modern art. Munch 150, an exhibition co-hosted by Norway’s National Museum and the Munch Museum, both in Oslo, already is being hailed as a “once-in-alifetime show.” Global interest is huge - in part, as a result of one of his four The Scream paintings having recently set a public art auction record of $120 million. Captured live in High Definition, this cinematic presentation is part of a global revolution bringing the world’s greatest art exhibitions to cinemas and performing arts centers around the

world. Hosted by Art Historian Tim Marlow and with expert guests, the presentation doesn’t just cover the exhibition’s paintings. It provides insight into the artist and his world.

History of the Quaker Arts Festival The Orchard Park Jaycees, a leadership training through community service organization, are the proud sponsors of the Quaker Arts Festival. We plan, organize and run the festival. The Quaker Arts Festival began 52 years ago in 1961 by the Orchard Park Presbyterian Church and remained on Church property from 1961 to 1964. In 1965, when the festival grew too large to remain at the Church, the Jaycees were asked to assume

sponsorship and have organized the festival ever since. It was moved to its current location at the Orchard Park Middle School on Route 20A and Lincoln Avenue in the village. The festival is always held on the third full weekend in September. The festival is currently co-sponsored by Bee Publications, who provide a variety of public relations advertising and a special section of the newspaper highlight-

ing exhibitor information and a map of the grounds. The festival attracts approximately 300 talented artists and crafts persons from all over Western New York as well as many other states. The Quaker Arts Festival is the largest suburban art show as well as one of the oldest in Western New York.

Smokey Robinson and Johnny Mathis Join ‘Summer Rush’ Lineup

NIAGARA FALLS and SALAMANCA, N.Y. – Two of America’s timeless singers – Smokey Robinson and Johnny Mathis – join the Seneca Casinos’ “Summer Rush” lineup with performances that will match the thrill of summertime. Both will travel to the Seneca Niagara Events Center in Niagara Falls this July and August. In addition, another five musical acts are booked for those months at the nearby 440-seat Bear’s Den Showroom.

Motown’s first No. 1 R&B hit, “Shop Around” by The Miracles, was sung by the group’s founder and lead singer, Smokey Robinson. More than 50 years later, Robinson continues to grace the stage with impeccable vocals and energy, and will perform live at Seneca Niagara Events Center on Saturday, July 26 at 8 p.m. He penned dozens of hits with The Miracles (“You’ve Really Got a Hold on Me,” “Ooo Baby Baby,” “Tears of a Clown,” “I Second That Emotion” and more), for other Motown greats (“The Way You Do the Things You Do,” “My Girl,” “Get Ready” and more) and for his

own solo career, which began in 1973 (“Just to See Her,” “Cruisin’” and more). Robinson is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame, a Kennedy Center honoree and a Grammy Living Legend Award winner. The smooth vocals of Johnny Mathis return to Western New York during an unforgettable performance on Saturday, August 24 at 8 p.m. at Seneca Niagara Events Center. Mathis is a 2003 Lifetime Achievement Grammy winner and wrote the No. 1 hits “Chances Are” and “Too Much, Too Little, Too Late.” Many of his other songs – such as “It’s Not for Me to Say,” “Misty” and dozens of holiday ballads – continue to resonate with audiences young and old. Two interesting facts about Mathis: 1.) His LP album Johnny’s Greatest Hits in 1958 spent an unprecedented 491 consecutive weeks through 1967 on the Billboard Top 100 album charts, which is noted in the Guinness Book of World Records. 2.) He passed up an opportunity in 1956 to try out for the U.S. Olympics as a

high-jumper; instead, he signed his first recording contract with Columbia Records. Tickets for both the Smokey Robinson and Johnny Mathis concerts start at $45 and go on sale Wednesday, June 5 at noon. Tickets for these and all other upcoming shows are available at Seneca Casino box oﬃces, Ticketmaster.com, all Ticketmaster locations or by phone at 800745-3000. In addition, a host of new musical acts – ranging in genre from alternative rock to R&B to classic pop – are booked for the 440-seat Bear’s Den Showroom this summer. Additions to the July and August lineup include: soulful R&B singer-songwriter Will Downing; Las Vegas– based hit tribute show Jay White as Neil Diamond; Grammy Award–winning guitar virtuoso Larry Carlton; 1990s alternative-rock band Candlebox, and; “Oh What a Night!” – A Musical Tribute to Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, directed by award-winning producer-director Michael Chapman.
