Summer Sun Kicks off Midway’s Season By Scott Wise

Boat Rentals & Sales

Star Staff Writer

By the time this edition of the Chautauqua Star hits the shelves, we’ll already have passed the longest day of the year as we officially welcome in summer. This summer has a lot of exciting things for residents of Chautauqua County. Of course, there’s the classic items like ice cream and walks on the beach, but let’s not forget some of our gems that shed new light on old traditions. One in particular is Midway State Park. I can remember heading to Midway as a child for various school field trips, and always coming back with such fond memories of it. Midway is still there, and still providing a great family experience at an affordable rate- both for tickets and your gas tank. Midway is located at 4859 Route 430 in Bemus Point, right on the shores of Chautauqua Lake. With a centralized location, it’s an easy place for folks both in northern and southern county areas to get to without much inconvenience. This year, Midway officially opens for the season on Thursday, June 28 with hours that run Wednesday-Sunday, from noon to 7 p.m. But, on Wednesday, June 27, the park opens with a Summer Kick-Off event that will run from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. “For the Summer Kick-Off, we’ll have half-price wristbands ($7.50), deals in

716-753-3913 the gift shop and special in the concession area,” said Kate Gross, Midway Park Manager. “There will also be a live radio remote, a skee ball tournament in the arcade. It’s a great way to families to get out and kick off their summer.” After the summer opening, the park will be offering a few new events such as a magician, a juggling act, a caricature artist and face painting. Some of the classic happenings will be faithful to the 2012 season though, like the fireworks on July 4. “On the fourth of July, we’ll have fireworks at 10:15,” said Gross. “That’s our

most popular event. The rides are open from noon to 10 p.m., and we have specials in the arcade and gift shop. There’ll be an ice cream truck, and live music with ‘The Untouchables’.” While there aren’t any new rides this year, the park has set their sights on restoring the Chautauqua Choo Choo throughout the course of this year and next. “The Chautauqua Choo Choo is our most popular attraction,” said Gross. “We restored some sections already this year, and in the fall we’ll be restoring the engine. Our hope is that over the winter we can rebuild the train

platform.” Midway sees a lot of repeat visitors, but also quite a few newcomers. “We see a good mix of people here,” said Gross. “There are lots who come up the same weekends every year, or those who have their family reunions or company picnic here every year.” If you’re looking for something fun and inexpensive to take the family to this summer, be sure to check out Midway State Park in Bemus Point. Get out to their summer kick off event, and be a part of what’s going on in Chautauqua County.

First of all, if you have asked Christ to be your Lord and Savior then the Bible does not call you a sinner. I have heard countless Christians talk about themselves as if they are sinners. Christians might still see themselves as sinners but that is NOT how God views them in His Word. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, old things are passed away, behold, all things are become new.” Then in verse 21 it reads, “For He (God) made Him (Jesus) to be sin for us, who knew

no sin; that WE MIGHT BE MADE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM.” Jesus became something He never was before: SIN, so you could become something that you never were before: RIGHTEOUSNESS. God MADE you righteous when you believed whether you feel righteous or not. There is only one way to achieve this righteousness: by calling on Jesus in faith as the only Son of God and taking Him as Lord. The Bible never calls a believer a sinner. I do read, however, where believers are called light,

righteousness, priests, kings, temples of the Holy Spirit, and the Body of Christ. (Matt 5:14, 2 Cor 5:17-21, Rev 1:6, 2 Cor 6:19, 2 Cor 12) When a believer thinks that he or she is still a sinner, they will live as though they are still a sinner. If an eagle is convinced that he is a chicken, he will live like a chicken. The same is true with believers. You will never experience the victorious life Christ provided for you until you start viewing yourself as God sees you. Romans 6:6 says, “KNOWING THIS, that our old man is cru-

cified with Him (Jesus), that the body of sin might be DESTROYED, that henceforth we should not serve sin.” Notice we are supposed to KNOW this: Our old sin nature is destroyed, dead, and gone. Our new nature is of God. So here is the truth: When a person calls upon the Lord they become dead to their sin nature and alive to God! Even when you don’t feel righteous, God says you are. Not because of what you’ve done, but because of what He has done. Even when you don’t act righteous, God says you are.

You are not righteous based on what you’ve earned. You are only made righteous by His grace. So people ask, “So does that mean I can live any way that I want?” Of course not. But when a person is MADE righteous by the power of God, they will desire to live the way God made them. That’s the problem: Christians are trying to act righteous when they need to realize that they have been MADE righteous. When this becomes truth to them, they will live accordingly.

trying, not their failure. After they fell, I would hug them and say, “Let’s try it again!” God sees our Christian walk as we see our own children’s growth. We will all experience failure and mistakes as we learn to walk as God desires, but please know that God is cheering us on – not scolding us for our mistakes! The Bible clearly says that God is not holding our mistakes against us (2 Corinthians 5:19). He knew we would fail so He

made a way, through Jesus Christ, to allow for forgiveness. 1 John 1:9 tells us that when we sin, all we need to do is confess it to God and He is faithful to forgive us and encourage us to keep going! So submit your mistakes and failings to God and ask for forgiveness and direction so you can do better. Take this encouragement and know that no matter what, He loves you.

leads him to difficult trials and tribulations. Yet on Paul went, for the grace of God and the promise of new life were stronger than Paul who is described as frail, scrawny, often ill, and frequently beaten. Paul walked thousand of miles, was stoned, shipwrecked, and lowered in a basket over the Damascus city wall. During these twenty some years of journeying, Paul continued to earn a living, building churches and teaching, while still managing to write the Epistles. In fact, Paul gives us the first written words we have about Jesus and the struggles of the early church. Paul’s writings are the first to be placed in what we call the ‘Canon’ of sacred books that would later evolve into the

New Testament. And oh what beautiful words Paul left us... moving, intense, and brilliant. Paul saw the formula for Christian living in the faith, hope, and love response to Jesus. Paul wrote that those who persevere in faith, hope and love would share in the gifts of God’s grace. and experience peace beyond the world’s understanding. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Growing up in Angola, NY, she attended Most Precious Blood Church where the priests and nuns first introduced their love of the saints to her.

Keeping the Faith

Dear Pastor, Does God punish us when we fail?

By Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church of Chautauqua County

My dear friend, I’m so glad that you asked this question. I’m sure that many of our readers have wondered about God’s response to our failings. If you’re like me, you feel pretty bad when you perceive that you have failed or not done your best. We can experience feelings of regret and guilt and spend time going over our actions, wishing that we would have done it differently. While we may feel that we deserve to be struggling, what is God’s re-

sponse to our failure? Does He add to our sorrow by inflicting us with His disapproval and punishment? Absolutely not! The Bible is very clear that God’s love for us is greater than any human father’s love towards his children (Matthew 7:7-11). Even though a parent’s love does not compare to God’s love, we can use it as an example. I have three daughters. I love them greatly and would gladly give my life to better

theirs. Yet, my children were not born fully mature. They didn’t come potty trained, they couldn’t communicate well, and they couldn’t even walk. They failed (and will fail) many times before they actually mastered any of these areas. Would I have been a good and loving father if I punished my girls when they fell while trying to take their first steps? Absolutely not! I was excited that they were trying. My rejoicing was based on their

Catholic Corner Saint Paul: Patron Saint of Journalists and Evangelists Feast Day June 29 Paul, born Saul of Tarsus, never met Jesus face-to-face as the other apostles had, yet his entire life was changed by a supernatural encounter with Christ. A Jewish zealot, Saul was on his way to Damascus to arrest followers of Jesus, when suddenly a great light flashed around him and he fell to the ground. He heard a voice say, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” He said, “Who are you, Lord?” The voice replied, “I am Jesus and you are persecuting me…”. (Acts 9:3-6). In an instant, Saul knew Jesus was the fulfillment of all he had been pursuing in his fastidi-

ous observance of the law of the Pharisees. This personal encounter was the beginning of his own intimate relationship with Christ. Paul then spent his life proclaiming the message of the Cross–that through the paschal mystery of the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, our sins are forgiven and we can receive eternal life. Paul experienced the salvation which we cannot earn but comes as a gift entirely by God’s grace and mercy. When we receive this gift and surrender our lives to Christ, we are able to do even greater works than our observance of the “law” could ever accomplish. Paul’s missionary journeys proclaiming the “good news”

Dairy Youth Explorers Program By Scott Wise Star Staff Writer

People have been herding cattle for thousands of years, and over the course of time the cattle haven’t changed much. What has changed, however, are the practices, machinery and people that go into providing consumers with the milk and meat that cattle farming provides. In an effort to help facilitate a love for agri-business in young adults, the Cornell Cooperative Extension began the Dairy Youth Explorers Program 14 years ago. The program, headed up by Lisa Kempisty, is open to anyone ages 13-18 who are interesting in discovering opportunities in the dairy industry. “This program helps connect youth to the leaders in the dairy industry and facilitates placement and work experiences in the dairy industry,” said Kempisty. “The program involved hands-on workshops and educational trips.” The typical course semester runs from December through August. The students participate in activities or events once a month organized by Kempisty. This year, the students have taken part in a trip to a feed mill in Wyoming County and a yogurt factory in Niagara County. “Dairy Youth Explorers is open to anyone in Chautauqua, Cattaraugus or Allegany counties,” said Kempisty. “The larger the class the better. The students feed off each other and learn from one another.” The program is offered every

other year, so applications won’t be accepted again until September of 2013. Each year has 20-25 students with some coming back for seconds. Dairy Youth Explorers is designed to help young adults gain a better understanding of the agricultural business community. Each student is also required to job shadow an agri-business during the course, and write a paper about their experiences. One local farmer who went through the first Dairy Youth Explorers program is Sarah Bean. Sarah, who rents farming property in the town

of Harmony, grew up with parents who were both in the teaching profession. Her grandfather, however, was a dairy farmer. Bean entered the program when she was 14 years old, and remembers where she developed her love for animal science. “Dairy Youth Explorers would have been my first trip to Cornell,” said Bean. “It introduced me to the college, and it definitely helped peak my interests.” Bean would go on to later graduate from Cornell Univer-

sity, who sponsors the Dairy Youth Explorers program. She currently owns around 80 cattle, milking 26 and running a successful farming business. “If there was ever a community to get involved with, it’s the farming community,” said Bean. “There is always someone who is willing to help you get started.” If you’re interested in the Dairy Youth Explorers program, or learning more about 4-H and the Cornell Cooperative Extension, contact Lisa Kempisty at 644-9502.

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), most new HIV infections in the United States are among people under 30. More than 1.1 million people in the U.S. are infected with HIV and 232,700 don’t know it – and go on to spread the virus causing 5470% of the 56,300 new infections each year. According to the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), 132 people are living with HIV and 115 people are living with AIDS in Chautauqua County.

“Everyone should be tested for HIV because early detection saves lives,” said Christine Schuyler, County Public Health Director. “Seventy-five percent of HIV positive people will change risky behaviors when they learn that they have the virus. This decreases the spread of HIV and those who are HIV positive can get essential treatment early, before HIV develops into AIDS,” added Schuyler. The CDC recommends HIV testing for everyone between

the ages of 13 and 64. HIV testing is also recommended for all pregnant women as a routine part of prenatal care. A woman who has HIV and is pregnant can take certain medications during pregnancy that, combined with medical care, can significantly lower the chances of passing HIV to her baby. Regular clinic hours are 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Additional evening clinic appointments are available for all ages; please call for an appointment. The

prints for the first time, even though I knew what all of these would look like. Imagine my horror when I saw many hours of work mercilessly chopped off the edges of my prints. In my enthusiasm, I had forgotten one very crucial step when working with my pictures online - the final editing. What is uploaded to an online printing service is not always

the final result. In the Snapfish shopping cart, you have the option to see where the cut off will be when it’s printed and can reposition as necessary. Unfortunately, I skipped this step, and my prints were now going to take as much work as if I had printed them without dates and sentiments. I could have gone back into Snapfish, corrected my mistake

and ordered more prints, but I didn’t want the waste or expense and decided to work with what I had. Since they were digital prints and not priceless originals, I figured that “everything is fixable,” trimmed off the offending parts and created my pages. For the journaling, I went back into my computer, looked at what I had wanted to say, rewrote it the old-fashioned way, added my dates, and made it so. The important thing that I learned out of my printing disaster is that it wasn’t a disaster at all. By having gone through my photos ahead of time, written my journaling and having pages ready to adhere, I was streamlining the process even if I had to correct some mistakes. That was my original intention, even if it wound up being thicker than planned. For June, I’m trying it this way

She’ll change it to “Elwell’s Texas Smokehouse.” The reason to do that, she pointed out, is that many years ent ago the establishment was called that and many people in r Westfield area recall the name rk and restaurant. She wants to be respectful of that past and at reminiscent of the memories many have of the good food from Elwell’s. Formally, Elwell’s is was well known for its fried chicken.

It gives off a good smoke.” The smoker to which she refers is a Texas Longhorn Smoker from that state. It looks like a small version of an oldfashioned steam locomotive that has rolled to a stop right in front of her restaurant. It sits on large wheels and the wood storage bin at the front of it resembles the cow-catcher of a train engine. A tall, round chimney billows. It is about twenty-five feet long with curved sides, dials, gauges and doors. Behind those doors, laying on steel mesh grates are fresh meats, soaking up heat and smoke from the wood-fired box below them. Lorianne has chicken halves, beef brisket, pork butt, “and sometimes sausages”, she said as she closed the door, sealing the meats for another several hours of cooking. “I’m going to take this smoker to the Fourth of July festival in Mayville,” she said. That should be easy for her because she’s had practice with large

crowds. At a Bike Rally in Texas, 600,000 were served from that very same smoker. Lorianne Ritter has three special sauces for her barbecue meats. One, perhaps her favorite she insists, is named “My Dad’s Sauce.” That sauce has a pitchy color, tastes sweetly like molasses and cloves and is sticky, which enables it to hang to the meat it flavors. Lorianne has a Red Sauce, too. It’s dark-pink in color, has a tang like cayenne and a hint of

sugar. Her third sauce can be considered a combination of “My Dad’s Sauce” and the red sauce. Her sauce is acclaimed. The personality chef of the television show, “The Pit Master” came to her restaurant a few days after she’d opened and he sampled her “My Dad’s Sauce.” Lorianne says that when he tested the sauce he said, “this is one of the best sauces I’ve ever tasted.” When asked which of the

smoked meats offered on her menu was the most popular she responded slowly, it was a difficult question for her. “They’re all good. But the pulled pork is what most people ask for.” The pulled pork comes in a generous heap between two slices of fresh, sourdough buns. A choice of sauce is offered with it. And coleslaw is freshly handmade by the kitchen staff. “I use all fresh ingredients. And I don’t par-

7 boil any meats. I don’t use any cooking oils. I use water only. The steaming brings out the flavors.” The restaurant tables each have a bottle of vinegar as a condiment. “Vinegar on French fries is the only way to eat them. That’s the way the old Elwell’s served it,” she reminisces. There are desserts for after the meal. Elwell’s Texas Smokehouse also serves ice cream and homemade pies. “I make a banana crème pie that’ll rock your world,” she boasted to a customer trying to decide on which of her pies to order. Her restaurant has mountain top apple, peach and freshly made berry pies. Many can be made to order, Lorianne said. She also has cookies named “Cookies by Toni,” the specialty being the raisin-oatmeal. It is a cookie as round as a medium-sized pancake, full of its name: oatmeal and raisins. It is spongy and breaks apart like soft bread. Elwell’s Texas Smokehouse is located on Route 20 between Westfield and Portland at the highway corner of McKinley road. It is open until 10 p.m. each day. Reservations not required; appetites, yes.

Chautauqua Institution

Chautauqua Institution’s nineweek morning lecture series in the Amphitheater begins Monday, June 24, with a series of conversations on the literary arts titled “Roger Rosenblatt and Friends on the Literary Arts.” Renowned author, essayist and playwright Rosenblatt will be joined on stage by seven accomplished writers throughout the week, continuing a Chautauqua tradition of popular conversations hosted by Rosenblatt in recent years. The informal conversations will cover the process of writing with nothing less than the banter and storytelling that has come to be expected from Rosenblatt and his fellow writers. During this first week of the Chautauqua season, the 2 p.m. Interfaith Lecture Series explores “Reclaiming the Bible in a Non-Religious World” with retired Episcopal Bishop of Newark John Shelby Spong. Rosenblatt begins the week of onstage conversations with TV writer and producer Norman Lear. Creator of the CBS sitcom All in the Family, Lear has also created or produced hit shows such as The Jeffersons, Sanford and Son and Good Times. He was one of the first seven television pioneers to be inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame and in 1999, President Bill Clinton awarded him the National Medal of Arts. On Tuesday, Pulitzer Prizewinning cartoonist and author Jules Feiffer joins Rosenblatt. Best known for his comic strip in The Village Voice, Feiffer has also written and illustrated

books for children and young adults as well as authored two novels. He is the winner of an Academy Award and Lifetime Achievement Awards from the Writers Guild of America and the National Cartoonist Society. Meg Wolitzer, New York Times best-selling author, will be the featured writer on Wednesday, June 27. Wolitzer has written seven novels including The Ten Year Nap, The Wife and The Uncoupling, which was released April 2011. Rosenblatt will host two guests on Thursday, Derek and Sissela Bok. Former president of Harvard University Derek Bok has written six books on higher education and three books discussing the adequacy of the U.S. government in coping with the nation’s domestic problems. Sissela Bok, senior visiting fellow at the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies, is also a moral philosopher and author of Exploring Happiness. Emma Walton Hamilton and her mother, Dame Julie Andrews, take the stage on Friday, June 29. Best-selling children’s author, editor, arts educator and literacy advocate, Hamilton has co-authored 20 children’s books with her mother, six of which have been on the New York Times bestseller list. Along with co-authoring children’s books, Andrews is one of the most recognized figures in the entertainment industry, known for her memorable performances in Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music. The week’s Interfaith Lecturer, Bishop John Shelby Spong, will deliver afternoon lectures June 25-29. Spong will discuss

how the pages of the Bible reflect the limits of knowledge and the cultural biases of its authors. The ancient text of the Bible will be analyzed as a newly defined God emerges out of the early tribal mentality, breaking through in the new revelation in Jesus that opened human life to a new consciousness and new dimensions. Morning lectures are held in the Amphitheater weekdays at 10:45 a.m. Interfaith Lectures are held in the Hall of Philosophy weekdays at 2 p.m. Afternoon lecture themes often complement the themes of the 10:45 a.m. lectures, but take a different angle of vision. Day tickets are available for purchase at the Main Gate Welcome Center Ticket Office on the day of your visit. Morning tickets grant visitors access to the grounds for $18 from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. For $12, afternoon tickets grant access from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. Combined morning/afternoon passes (7 a.m. to 8 p.m.) are $30. For additional ticketing information, visit https://chautauquatickets.ciweb.org/ or call 716-357-6250. Chautauqua Institution is a summer community located in southwestern New York State on Chautauqua Lake. It offers a unique mix of fine and performing arts, lectures, interfaith worship, educational programs, and recreational activities. Each summer the Institution hosts over 2,200 events and 100,000 guests. For more information please visit, www.ciweb.org.

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

Don Hogan Tourism Scholarship Awarded to Four Seniors Zonta Club of Jamestown Presents the Second Annual Contributed Article “Tour De Zonta” The Chautauqua County Visitors’ Bureau

The Chautauqua County Visitors’ Bureau (CCVB) awarded Don Hogan Tourism Scholarships to four area high school seniors. Each scholarship awarded was in the amount of $800, with funds raised during 2011 at the Annual Don Hogan Memorial Golf Tournament at Peek’n Peak Resort. Under the leadership of CCVB board member and past president Don Anderson of Camp Chautauqua, CCVB has been successful in raising more than $3,500 for scholarship awards in both 2011 and 2012. Approximately 30 area college-bound seniors submitted essays with their ideas about how to further develop Chautauqua County’s tourism industry. The essayists listed a host of examples, ranging from eco-tourism utilizing area trails to expanding marketing efforts that would attract more Canadians. Students also identified the need for transportation shuttles and package discount programs as ways to get visitors to experience more of what Chautauqua County has to offer.

In addition to activities and case management, participants receive nutritional services and meals and an ongoing assessment of their health status and needs. The specialization in shortterm care involves recovery for patients as they regain basic skills and gain the confidence that is needed to reach their highest functional level. An interdisciplinary team approach is utilized to address each individual patient’s goals in order to implement a smooth transition back to their regular day-to-day routine.

The facility’s state-of-the-art rehabilitation department is staffed by a team of toprated specialists for physical, occupational and speech therapy.

Gowanda offers an enriching social recreation program and selective dining, while the skilled nursing and medical capabilities feature a full range of on-site advanced clinical services. The recreation services offer multi-tier programming with stimulating activities, lively entertainment and relaxing leisure time, all of which have proven to be vital to promoting a healthy lifestyle of wholesome fulfillment. Weekly activities are planned and a monthly calendar is published to provide each resident with a list of special events such as ice cream socials, movie screenings and birthday parties, of which family members and friends are invited to attend. Also

offered are arts and crafts, holiday festivities, karaoke, card and board games, outside entertainment, trivia contests and field trips outside of the facility.

Cable and telephone services, remote flat screen TVs and wireless Internet access is also offered. The lobby includes a lounge, sitting areas and on-site hair stylists and barbers. The gourmet dining services include the preparation of three home-style meals served either in the dining room or the privacy of the resident’s room. Customized meals are prepared to suit specific dietary requests and offer a selective menu and snacks, with special diets and nutritional requirements administered by the staff dietician. In addition to the telemedicine demonstrations at Wednesday’s open house, refreshments will be served. Reservations are not required and the general public is invited to attend the event.

Q&A

Potential infection needs diagnosis

Q: My older shepherd mix is showing signs of another urinary tract infection. Last time I took her to the veterinarian, he prescribed antibiotics for the UTI, saying that her urine leaking was due to her being on steroids. I don’t want her on antibiotics again. Is there a natural alternative? — via email A: I’d love to tell you of a nonantibiotic remedy, but there isn’t one. UTIs are the result of bacteria getting into the bladder, e where they aren’t supposed to be — the urine bladder is normally a sterile environment. My suspicion is that your dog doesn’t have ed a UTI at all, although she might. ty My thought is that she’s leaking from the steroids (it is indeed a side effect), or from spay elp common incontinence, which is very comial mon in spayed females. s,” Since the treatment for urinary leaking and the treatment for a are completely different, you usi- UTI need to get an accurate diagnosis. nty, This is easy, fortunately. Get a urine culture done, and know rice. that this is not the same as a routine urinalysis. If the culture doesn’t grow any ge bacteria, she does not have an re infection, and you’ll need to pursue treatment for urinary incontinence with your veterinarian. If the ber culture does grow bacteria, then ng the lab will do a further test, known day as a “sensitivity test,” to determine antibiotic the bacteria are r, what susceptible to, so you don’t waste . time and money treating an infece: tion with the wrong drug. ur Bladder infections are very so please don’t spend r painful, more time looking for a home remedy “cure” that doesn’t pher involve your dog’s doctor.

Reports of sick dogs, people, from pet food

Don’t expect predators and prey to act like family By Gina Spadafori Universal Uclick

ast month, after years of dreaming about it, I moved onto a small property that allowed me to have my horses live in my backyard instead of at a boarding barn. There is also room for my pet chickens and ducks, and of course, my dogs and my cat. All the animals get along, not only the “farm” animals, but also the more traditional household pets.

Salmonella contamination of pet food may be linked to illness in both pets and people. • The VIN news service (news.vin. com) reports that six animals have been reported dead and more than 50 claimed to have been made ill by salmonella contamination in commercial pet foods made under various brand names by the Diamond company. The information was obtained from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration via a Freedom of Information Act request. Many of the foods have been recalled by the brands and the manufacturer. Meanwhile, DVM36.com reports the filing of a lawsuit against Diamond and retailer Costco charging that the contaminated pet food made a New Jersey infant severely ill. • The U.S. Department of Agriculture is attempting to update its oversight of commercial pet breeders, including those substandard ones widely referred to as “puppy mills.” Current regulations developed before the widespread use of the Internet exempt pet stores from the Animal Welfare Act. Many commercial breeding operations now skip retail outlets to sell and ship animals directly to consumers, taking advantage of the loophole to avoid regulations intended to ensure humane treatment of breeding animals and the sale of healthy young ones. The requirements would affect operations with four or more breeding animals, a number intended to allow reputable hobby breeders to continue raising animals in their homes, among other exemptions.

er, g 5.

This week we are featuring ALL senior pets. Any pet, 5 years or older, is fee waived. These pets still have plenty of life and love and deserve a home of their own, but are often overlooked because they are not a kitten or puppy. There are many advantages to adopting an older pet such as: you know their personalities, you can see just how big they are, they are already housebroken, and the destructive puppy and kitten behaviors are long gone. We have many to choose from, so please consider adopting one of these loving pets that are at the shelter through no fault of their own. Come to the Strunk Road Adoption Center and meet your new best friend.

The Chautauqua County Humane Society’s Pet of the Week is sponsored by The Annual Tom Pawelski Memorial Golf Tournament , held this past summer. The money raised from the 2010 tournament provides discounted adoption rates to Pet of the Week animals. Stop by CCHS and ﬁnd your new best friend, 2825 Strunk Road Jamestown.

Miguel Fermin’s last played for the Jamestown Jammers on Sept. 14, 2008. It was Game 2 of the Nader Cup, the championship of the New York-Penn League between the Batavia Muckdogs and the Jammers, a game Batavia won 9-3 to claim their first championship in 45 years. But it was a bittersweet day for Fermin. Sure, the Jammers had lost the championship and Fermin went 0-for-4, but the 23-year-old catcher had just finished up one of the best seasons ever seen at Jamestown. He hit .347, clubbed 17 homeruns and had an OPS over 1.000. And on top of it all, he was a stout defensive catcher with a cannon for an arm. He was surely on the radar of the Florida Marlins and was moving on to bigger and better things next year. Whatever the case, it was certainly the last time he had seen Diethrick Park and Jamestown. Now fast-forward three years and nine months. After playing in Jamestown’s final game in 2008, he’s now playing in Jamestown’s first game in 2012. Now 27, after reaching as far up as AAA New Orleans, Fermin has been relegated to using that power right arm of his on the mound, instead of throwing back to it, because of injuring his left knee. “I focus, I just try to do my job,” said Fermin through translator and Jammers first baseman Viosergy Rosa. “I try to work as hard as I can with every pitch.” His work ethic showed on Open-

ing Day, as did his arm. Fermin’s pitching debut was about to come against the 3-4-5 hitters for Mahoning Valley who had wreaked havoc all day long. He got Aaron Siliga to pop softly to right field before striking out Charlie Valerio. Then, after getting ahead of Hunter Jones, Fermin got him to hit a broken-bat grounder back to the pitcher, before flipping to Rosa for the out. Not a bad trip through the heart of the order. “I just try to stay ahead of hitter,” Fermin said. “Throw strikes and keep the ball down.” The eighth was seemingly just as easy with another soft grounder to third followed by Fermin’s second strikeout. But he got a lesson from

Juan Romero, who hit a first pitch fastball over the leftfield wall. Still, it was the only hit Fermin allowed through two innings of work. Surely a guy with this arm, whose been playing baseball ever since growing up as a youngster in Samana, Dominican Republic, had thrown before, though, right? “Three months,” Fermin said in English, while laughing. “Pitching for three months.” He had a hard fastball moving, which seemed to set up his out pitch, a slider. Fermin said the slider has been the easiest pitch to pick up since redesigning his career on the mound. “It’s just natural,” he said.

Fermin, who was also an all-star in 2009 and 2011 in the Florida State League for Jupiter, isn’t too thrilled to give up the bat, but is looking forward to helping Jamestown win this season. “I feel good to be here (in Jamestown),” Fermin said. “I’m here to make the team win and help out as much as possible.” But don’t think Fermin will be here for long. Although it’s been just one game, if he continues to throw like this, he’ll be moving through the system just like he’s already done so before. “It definitely gives me confidence to know what it takes to climb through the system,” Fermin said. “No question about it.”

Viosergy Rosa (No. 24) and Jesus Solorzano (No. 12) both came around to score on Kentrell Dewitt's 2-RBI double in the bottom of the fourth to tie the game at 3, but the Jammers would go on to lose 8-5. (Photo by Chris Winkler)

By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

JAMESTOWN, N.Y. — A beautiful night at Diethrick Park on Monday ended with a bit of a sour taste as the Jamestown Jammers dropped the 2012 season opener to Mahoning Valley 8-5. The Scrappers jumped out early despite Jammers starting pitcher Helpi Reyes retiring the first two batters. Aaron Siliga walked on four pitches before Charlie Valerio and Hunter Jones followed with singles to put Mahoning Valley up 1-0. In the second, Evan Frazar lined a single before Erik Gonzalez ripped a triple into the right-center gap scoring Frazar. Two batters later, a passed ball put the Scrappers up 3-0 before the attendance of 1,807 could even

settle in. But the Jammers rebounded in the third with Kentrell Dewitt leading off the inning with a double down the leftfield line. He came around to score on a clutch two-out RBI double from rookie Anthony Gomez. In the fourth, the Jammers bats kept coming when Jesus Solorzano singled after Viosergy Rosa worked a one-out walk. But again, it was two-out magic when Dewitt hit one to deep left that almost carried out of the ballpark before hitting off the wall, scoring both Rosa and Solorzano to tie the game. But it wasn’t meant to be. Mahoning Valley added a run in the fifth, which Jamestown answered right back in the bottom half, but Juan Romero’s three-run homerun — which looked like a routine fly ball that the wind

Five Jamestown the eighth, a line shot over the left pitchers allowed 10 hits and walked field wall that needed no help from seven more. In addition, Jamestown the wind, this time off of Miguel committed three errors. Fermin.

ek Time Is Now For Sabres

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

No the NHL Draft isn’t anywhere near the spectacle of the its NFL counterpart, but it doesn’t take a genius to realize that if you want to win in this league, succeeding in the draft is rather important. Or — in all reality — having a really bad year, couple with some luck in the NHL lottery, is rather important. Want to know where to find stars? Try the top five picks of each draft since the lockout. Unfortunately, the Sabres came up short in both regards, and even came up short in their playoff run to make matnals ters worse leaving the Sabres with a ho-hum first round pick at No. 12. But, General Manager Darcy Regier spun a nice trade deadline deal with Nashville, sending away Paul Gaustad for a first round pick, which turned out to be No. 21 this year. In addition, the Sabres also s have the 42nd and 44th overall picks (midway through the second round) to give Buffalo an arsenal of four picks in the top 44. Which is why the time is now for Regier to really shake things up. If the Sabres want to keep Lindy Ruff and his painful defensive style, fine, but then the personnel on the ice needs to change because it simply isn’t working. Since Buffalo let Chris Drury and Daniel Briere walk out the door that fateful day on July 1, 2007, the Sabres have managed to make the playoff just twice, failing to get out of the first round both times. Considering more than half of the teams in the NHL make the playoffs, there is clearly a problem. And any excuses via injury are purely embarrassing to mention. So, yes, the time is now to make a move. The Sabres have ary) stockpiled picks and have no reason to call anybody on their entire roster “untouchable”. Not Tyler Myers. Not Jason Pominville. Not even Ryan Miller. Of course I’d keep all three, but if the price is right, then make a move. But that’s not what I’m proposing. It’s time for the Sabres to package both first round picks and a skater to move at into the top three. To me, the ill skater is Derek Roy, who while er we’ve all grown to dislike, is rs, actually a pretty solid player. that He had a miserable year last ht year; no doubt about it. But the 29 year old has basically the been a point-a-game center , as his whole career, even after the Sabres lost Drury and Briere, r- and is one of the better twoe, way forwards in the league. ng But, it’s his on-ice — and off-ice for those who haven’t hat heard — demeanor, which has ow turned into the team mantra since Roy became “the guy” ild five years ago, is why I deal him. I firmly believe most

e d hey

be k.

people underestimate Roy’s abilities, but he’s the poster boy on a team that just appears to not really care if they win or not. Two first round picks and Roy is a nice package that I would assume would land you in the top five, although I have absolutely no knowledge of that being concrete. Regardless, the top five is where you want to be. In 2007, Pat Kane, James van Riemsdyk and Kyle Turris were the top three. In 2008, Steven Stamkos, Drew Doughty, Zach Bogosian, Alex Pietrangelo and Luke Schenn were the top five. In 2009, John Tavares, Victor Hedman, Matt Duchene, Evander Kane and Brayden Schenn were the top five. Taylor Hall and Tyler Seguin led off the 2010 draft and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Gabriel Landeskog from last year already look like they’ll be stars. Notice anything? For one, there are no Sabres picks. Two, there literally aren’t any busts there. And for the record, 2004-2006 were just as astoundingly good, I just ran out of room. So a team completely void of all-star, MVP-types (save me the Ryan Miller stuff please) hasn’t been picking in the top five for a decade. Hmmm, and they routinely fail to make the playoffs? Free agency is a nice route too, but that’s simply not where you build winners. I loved the Christian Ehrhoff signing, but the Sabres went big money with him, Ville Leino and Robyn Regehr and look it where it got them. None of them had a good year and some are questioning if the latter two can offer the Sabres anything going forward. Will that happen with Zach Parise or Paul Stasny? Who am I to know? If I did, I probably wouldn’t be writing this article. While I happen to really enjoy watching both players and wouldn’t be opposed to it — heck who hates when his or her favorite teams throws money at an all-star — I’d rather see the Sabres make moves on draft day and look at lower-end free agents. And besides, as bad as their offense was this year, I’d argue they’d be better off next year regardless of what they change. A full year of Marcus Foligno is one reason. A healthy Tyler Ennis at center is another. And I think guys like Thomas Vanek and Drew Stafford are capable of bouncing back. Add in a healthy Ehrhoff and Myers, too. I know, I know, I’m making the argument change doesn’t necessarily have to be made. But, my point is I think the Sabres are close, but sorely need a mindset change. I think that starts and ends with Roy. And if the team can land an immediate scorer in the draft and then add some toughness in free agency, I think they’re a pretty darn good team again. But they have to do it now, as in Thursday or Friday. They’ll never have this stockpile again and the current core is hitting their collective primes. Will they do it? Time will tell, shortly.

Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame Receives Randy Johnson Figurine Contributed Article Chautauqua Sports HOF

The Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame has received a Danbury Mint figurine of former Jamestown Expos pitcher Randy Johnson. The autographed collectible was donated by Earl and Shirley Carpenter and their daughter Brenda Drudge, former residents of Jamestown, now living in Arizona and Australia respectively. Randy Johnson, who pitched for Montreal, Seattle, Houston, Arizona, New York Yankees and San Francisco during a 22-year major league career, broke into professional baseball with the 1985 Jamestown Expos. Many baseball experts predict Johnson will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown based on his record of 618 games pitched,

Simpson Bests Tested Champions To Claim U.S. Open

Contributed Article Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The U.S. Open yields few birdies or big celebrations. At Olympic Club, they always come in strange places. Webb Simpson walked off the 18th green on a fog-filled Sunday evening with his face red and his legs limp, settling into a corner of the locker room to recover with his worried wife and watch Jim Furyk and Graeme McDowell chase his 1-over par 281 on the course. After a week that restored the toughest test in golf, this was not the look or score of a mediocre man. This was the 112th U.S. Open champion. Simpson saved par from the collar around the 18th green and sweated out a pair of past champions three groups behind, becoming the latest to claim his first major title at a club that always crowns the guy nobody expects to win. ''To be honest,'' Simpson said, ''I never thought about, and I never really wrapped my mind around winning.'' With the history here, he should have known better. Olympic Club is called the ''graveyard of champions'' for a reason. Proven major winners who were poised to win the U.S. Open — Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson and Payne Stewart — all lost out to the underdog. And all in a painful finish. Perhaps it was only fitting that the 26-year-old Simpson went to Wake Forest on a Palmer scholarship. ''Arnold has been so good to me,'' Simpson said. ''Just the other day, I read that story and thought about it. He's meant so much to me and Wake Forest. Hopefully, I can get a little back for him and make him smile.'' Simpson did his part in the latest familiar chapter at a club that dates to 1860. The North Carolina native emerged from the famous fog that blanketed the undulating Lake Course to make four birdies in a five-hole stretch around the turn on the final day, and convert a tough par from the thick grass around the tiny 18th green. He shot a 2-under 68 that created more pressure than two tested champions and a 14-time major winner wearing red could handle. Furyk was flawless for much of the week until he snaphooked his tee shot on the par-5 16th hole to fall out of the lead for the first time all day. He never got it back. Needing a birdie on the final hole, his approach landed in the bunker. He crouched and clamped his teeth onto the

shaft of his wedge. Furyk made bogey on the final hole and closed with a 74. ''I don't know how to put that one into words,'' said Furyk, the 2003 U.S. Open champion at Olympia Fields outside Chicago, ''but I had my opportunities and my chances and it was right there. It was, on that back nine, it was my tournament to win and I felt like if I went out there and shot even par, 1 under, I would have distanced myself from the field. And I wasn't able to do so.'' Neither was his playing partner. McDowell, the champion two years ago down the California coast at Pebble Beach, made four bogeys on the front nine. The Northern Irishman at least gave himself a chance with a 20-foot birdie putt on the 17th and a shot into the 18th that had him sprinting up the hill to see what kind of chance he had. The putt from about 25 feet stayed left of the hole the entire way. He settled for a 73 and shared second place with Michael Thompson, who closed with a 67 and waited two hours to see if it would be good enough. Tiger Woods, starting five shots behind, played the first six holes in 6-over par and was never a factor. He shot 73 and finished six strokes back. ''There's a mixture of emotions inside me,'' McDowell said. ''Disappointment, deflation, pride. But mostly, just frustration.'' That was the kind of week the U.S. Golf Association delivered. After Rory McIlroy shattered championship records last year at rain-softened Congressional, dry conditions at the Lake Course in San Francisco restored ''golf 's toughest test'' and then some. McIlroy, Masters winner Bubba Watson and top-ranked Luke Donald all missed the cut. So did last week's winner at Memphis, Dustin Johnson, and 2010 British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen. Of the last 18 players to tee off in the final round, Simpson was the only one to break par. He also was the lone player to shoot two rounds in the 60s on the weekend, closing with a pair of 68s. That didn't seem likely when Simpson was six shots behind as he headed to the sixth hole, which played the toughest at Olympic. That's where he started his big run. Simpson's 7-iron shot landed in the rough and rolled 5 feet away for birdie. He birdied the next two holes, including a 15-footer on the par-3 eighth. And his wedge shot into the 10th settled 3 feet away, putContinued on pg 10

Fisher's Taxing Year Ends With Shot At 6th Title

Contributed Article Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A long, taxing year is coming to a familiar finish for Oklahoma City Thunder guard Derek Fisher. It all started with him being front and center during the NBA lockout as the president of the players' union. It grew more complicated when the Los Angeles Lakers traded him away after he'd won five championships with the franchise. Fisher signed on with Oklahoma City, and he's three wins away from achieving his ultimate goal of winning a sixth title. Only 13 players in NBA history have been a part of that many championship teams. “What it would mean to win a championship means enough by itself without adding what has happened before now,'' Fisher said. “I think for this particular team and group of guys, this particular organization, there's a lot of meaning that would come from us finding a way to win three more games. So, that's primarily my focus right now. And then for me personally, there are a number of things I just won't choose to reflect on or look into until after this is long done and I can step away from things for a minute.'' Fisher was heavily involved in the league's labor dispute, engaging in the conference

room discussions that eventually were able to save a season that was in peril. His season took an unsettling turn when the Lakers unexpectedly traded him to Houston and he decided not to go. Instead, he looked around to identify teams he thought gave him the best chance to win a title and he settled with the Thunder. Even then, the turbulence wasn't over. The leadership of the NBA Players Association asked for Fisher to resign as president in April, and he refused while questioning the union's business practices under executive director Billy Hunter. That dispute still looms as Fisher and the Thunder prepare to play Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Tuesday night in Miami, with the Heat leading the series 2-1. Fisher

doesn't expect any resolution until later this summer and he has done his best to keep his sights on the playoffs. “All in all, for me, these are good problems to have. When you think about how tough it is for people every day, this is not hard at all to be able to try to figure out a way to be able to focus on playing basketball,'' Fisher said. “I'm healthy. My family's healthy. So, at the end of the day, if these are the things that I have to deal with to be called tough days, I'll take it.'' While Fisher wasn't pleased with how the Lakers handled shipping him out, he made the best of the situation by joining the Thunder — who would eventually eliminate L.A. in the second round of the playoffs. Fisher spent all but three of his first 15 years in the league with the Lakers, winning a handful of championships.

Of the players to win at least six championships, nine — including all-time leaders Bill Russell (11) and Sam Jones (10) — played with the Celtics during their dynasty in the 1950s and `60s. The others are former Fisher teammate Robert Horry (7), Kareem AbdulJabbar (6), Michael Jordan (6) and Scottie Pippen (6). “This is his eighth NBA Finals in 16 years. As a player you wish you can get there once,'' Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. “A lot of players have never been there, and he has five championships.'' Fisher said he considers Horry — who won titles with the Lakers, Spurs and Rockets — in a “stratosphere all alone.'' And he says he's not going to rub it in if he's able to win another title and surpass longtime teammate Kobe Bryant, who remains his friend. “To me, it's kind of sacred ground,'' Fisher said. “I'm not going there. Some people will but not me.'' Yet he still has something to prove. Once he signed with Oklahoma City, he chose the jersey No. 37 — the same as his age — to highlight that his advancing years would not be a factor. Brooks says he's still making important contributions on and off the floor. “I've never been around a

Florida State Ends Stony Brook’s Cinderella Run

Contributed Article Associated Press

OMAHA, Neb. — Florida State coach Mike Martin figured his team would have to put in a hard afternoon's work in the heat to beat Stony Brook and stay alive in the College World Series. It turned out to be no sweat at all. The Seminoles used shortstop Cole Peragine's throwing error to fuel a six-run third inning and end Stony Brook's surprise appearance in the CWS with a 12-2 victory on Sunday. "It was something that I wasn't expecting," Martin said. "It certainly was a great lift for our team. And if I'm not mistaken, we got them all with two outs. That's something that you just credit the young men for having great at-bats and getting it done." Justin Gonzalez and Devon Travis homered to help the Seminoles build an early 9-0

lead against the CWS firsttimers from Long Island. FSU (49-16) rebounded from a 4-3, 12-inning loss to Arizona on Friday and scored at least 12 runs for the third time in four games. Stony Brook (52-15) stunned the college baseball world by upsetting six-time national champion LSU in a threegame super regional to reach

Martin didn't put much stock in Stony Brook's eightrun loss Friday. He said he considered the America East champions and No. 4 regional seeds extremely dangerous, based on their accomplishment in Baton Rouge, La., a week earlier. "To go into Alex Box Stadium and beat LSU is a feat that all of us would wish we could do," he said. Florida State led 2-0 in the third when everything started to unravel for the Seawolves on a sunny, 90-degree day. Jayce Boyd's grounder to shortstop should have been the third out, but Cole Peragine was short with his throw to first, and the ball got away from Kevin Courtney. That allowed two runs to score, and Gonzalez followed with a three-run homer into the left-field bullpen that made it 7-0. Five of the six runs Florida State scored in the third were unearned.

the CWS. But the Seawolves were beaten 9-1 by UCLA on Friday and outscored 21-3 in their two games in Omaha. "It's a hard loss," third baseman William Carmona said, "but I look back on the season and I think we did what no one thought we could ever do, what everyone thought was basically impossible. We made it happen somehow, and I'll never forget that." Continued on pg 10

Rodgers Becomes A Tutor For QB Harrell Contributed Article Associated Press

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Graham Harrell wasn't here, so chances are he doesn't know how much — or how little — mentoring Brett Favre did for Aaron Rodgers. Harrell was a true freshman at Texas Tech in the spring of 2005 when the Green Bay Packers picked Rodgers in the first round of the draft to be the heir apparent to Favre. So unless Rodgers has mentioned it, Harrell likely isn't aware of Favre's interview with ESPN in which he said he “wasn't being paid to coach'' Rodgers and that it was “not in (my) contract to teach'' his successor the ropes. Harrell — just as Matt Flynn did before him — swears by Rodgers' mentoring and says that Rodgers has been his biggest supporter this offseason as he readies himself to be the Packers' No. 2 quarterback following Flynn's free-agent departure.

Aaron Rodgers has tutored quarterbacks in the past and the Packers hope Graham Harrell is the next in line. (AP Photo)

“Aaron's always been great to us, no matter where you are on the depth chart,'' Harrell said. “He always tries to help us. I don't know why that is, but I feel like he's pretty secure in his position so he does everything he can to help everyone else. From Day 1, he's been a huge part of my development and he continues to be.'' Neither Flynn (a 2008 seventh-round pick who was a rookie during Rodgers' first year as the starter) nor Harrell (an undrafted free agent picked up prior to the 2010 season) is a former first-round

While Rodgers was healthy enough to play all 16 games last season — he sat out the meaningless regular-season finale against Detroit and called the first-half plays as de facto offensive coordinator for Flynn's 480-yard, six-touchdown performance against the Lions — there's no guarantee he'll be able to replicate that this season. Rodgers sustained two concussions during the 2010 season, one of which forced him to miss a critical lateseason game at New England in which Flynn nearly led the team to victory. But Flynn is now in Seattle. “A-Rod's a pretty durable guy, and you don't want anything to happen, but no matter where you are you have to prepare like you're going to be the guy at some point, or you're going to be called on at some point,'' Harrell said. Harrell graduated from Texas Tech with some gaudy statistics — he finished his college career as the NCAA's

pick, so maybe it's easier for the 28-year-old reigning NFL MVP to be so generous. He knows the 27-year-old Harrell isn't about to take his job. That said, Rodgers was the same way with 2008 secondround pick Brian Brohm, whom some NFL analysts predicted would wrest the starting job away from Rodgers. “Aaron's an excellent mentor. He spends a lot of time in the meetings just doing the little things,'' Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. “I feel very good about the opportunity Continued on pg 10 for growth in that room.''

in ong- Bryan Berglund (RHP) nt, — Berglund has been the product of bad luck since being drafted out of high not school by the Marlins in the will second round with the 66th overall pick in 2009. He didn’t o sign until late summer and didn’t get a chance to pitch in a game. He then missed all of 2010 with a torn labrum and rsey couldn’t seem to shake it in 2011. After bullpen sessions offered discomfort, Berglund be was shut down again. Still ill just 21 years old, the Sweden u- native will finally make his professional debut more than three years after being drafted this year for the Jammers. Ramon Del Orbe (RHP) — Del Orbe, a 20-year-old Dominican, spent last year at the GCL level, going 4-4 with a 3.67 ERA in 11 games, t- nine of which he started. Del Orbe signed as a free agent in st 2008 and has mostly been in nal a starter in three professional , seasons between the Domini- can Summer League and the a Gulf Coast League.

professional season, Donatello spent most of last year in the Gulf Coast League for the Marlins. He posted pretty good numbers at the rookie level, going 3-0 with a 2.97 ERA in 13 games (four starts). He appeared in one game for Jupiter, throwing 2.1 innings and allowing a run. He started 2012 in Jupiter, though, and struggled. In seven innings, he’s 0-1 with a 7.71 ERA. He was sent back down to Jamestown on May 4. Expect him to be in the bullpen. Brian Ellington (RHP) — Ellington, 21, was a 16th round selection this year from the University of West Florida. He started 11 games for the Argos and went 6-3 with a 4.08 ERA. He had a pretty decent opponents batting average at .241, but it’s hard to project much from Ellington at this point, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets a few chances to start. He had Tommy John Surgery in 2007 while in high school. Jacob Esch (RHP) — He played his college ball at Georgia Tech and was drafted as a second baseman in the 11th round in 2011. He threw just 18.2 innings (11.2 for Jamestown) of professional ball last

year and compiled a 3.38 ERA. He showed some potential as a power pitcher, striking out 17. Miguel Fermin (RHP) — Yes, that Miguel Fermin. Now at 27, the former catcher has been forced to renew his career after blowing out his knee last year. Fermin was a NYPL AllStar on the Jammers back in 2008 when he hit .347 with 17 homeruns in 65 games. He was then an all-star for Jupiter in 2009 and 2011, but struggled in two stints for New Orleans. Now that Fermin can’t do much behind the plate, the Marlins have decided to use his right arm on the mound. Will be interesting to see how he’s used, but will almost assuredly be out of the bullpen. Mason Hope (RHP) — Hope is one of the higher draft pick amongst the Jammers current pitchers as he was a fifth rounder last year out of Broken Arrow High School in Oklahoma. The 19 year old started six games in the Gulf Coast League last year and did pretty well, compiling a 3.29 ERA in 27.1 innings. Hope has a bright future and considering his age, the Marlins are in no rush with this kid. He’ll be in the rotation.

Jheyson Manzueta (RHP) — It will be interesting to see what the Marlins’ plan is with Manzueta. The 22 year old was actually signed back in 2007 and spent his first two years in the Dominican Summer League. Last year was his first year above rookie ball and he struggled in both Jamestown and Greensboro. Combined he was 2-11 with a 6.57 ERA. He started the year in Greensboro, where he started all 20 games he appeared in. When he went back down to Jamestown, he appeared in 10 games, all of which came in relief. Probably not a pattern, but we’ll see where Manzueta gets his innings. I’ll expect the bullpen. Matt Milroy (RHP) — Drafted in the 11th round, Milroy became the highest pitcher selected out of the University of Illinois since 2001. He worked out the bullpen and averaged almost 11 strikeouts per nine innings, good for ninth in the NCAA. Milroy chose to forgo his senior season at Illinois. He had a 3.88 ERA in 53.1 innings and I would doubt if the Marlins are looking to stretch him out. Ryan Newell (RHP) — Newell is the highest draft pick

from this year on the pitching staff. Drafted in the seventh round out of Shorter University (NAIA program in Rome, Ga.), Newell went 9-4 with a 3.53 ERA as a starter last year and will probably be used as one for Jamestown or perhaps a middle-inning reliever. Newell will turn 21 on Opening Day Monday. Frankie Reed (LHP) — The 24-year-old lefty will be used in the same role as last year, as a reliever who can strike some guys out. He was drafted out of Cal Poly SLO last year in the 27th round and spent his rookie year between Jamestown and GCL. He struggled as a Jammer, going 1-1 with a 6.11 ERA. Helpi Reyes (RHP) — Another familiar name, Reyes started 12 games last year for the club and went 1-6 with a 5.37 ERA. Still just 19, Reyes has been in the Marlins organization for three years with each of the last two being a full-time starter. 2012 appears to be a big year for the righthander if he wants to advance through. I’d imagine he would be in the rotation. Drew Steckenrider (RHP) — An eighth round pick out of

Tennessee this year, Steckenrider also has pretty great power potential, but his future is based on his right arm. He struck out 79 batters in 67 innings and held opponents to a .197 batting average. The 6-foot-5 reliever seems ticketed for the bullpen. Decided to forgo his senior season at UT. Nicholas Wittgren (RHP) — Another high-level college pitcher prospect, Wittgren was a ninth round selection this year from Purdue. He also decided to forgo his senior season and projects as a reliever. Wittgren is another power pitcher, striking out 39 batters in 41 innings, but was the closer for a Boilermaker team that won the Big 10 and hosted an NCAA Regional. He had a 1.76 ERA in 26 games and saved 10. Beau Wright (RHP) — Wright was a 48th round pick in 2010 out of Orange Coast College, but was a 29th round pick out of high school by the Minnesota Twins in 2009, where he obviously did not sign. He was 2-2 with a 3.98 ERA in 11 games (six starts) for GCL last year. Wright, 21, will have every opportunity to start games for the club this year.

Earnhardt ends long drought with win at Mich.

ale Earnhardt Jr. blew away the field at Michigan International Speedway on Sunday, ending a four-year, 143race losing streak and setting off debate on just what his victory means to him and to the sport of NASCAR racing. Some, including NASCAR president Mike Helton, are saying that Earnhardt is now a favorite to win the championship this year. His stats, even before the Michigan victory, indicate that he’s good at gathering points even on days when he isn’t riding a winning car. He leads all Cup drivers with 12 top-10 finishes this season and he’s second in the standings, just four points behind Matt Kenseth. Kenseth told reporters that he’s pretty sure that Earnhardt is happy to put behind him a long and much-discussed losing streak. “I don’t know what it means for him personally on it to get that win, but I know that even if he acts like it isn’t, it was probably a burden having all your fans talking about you and writing stuff about you not winning,” he said, adding that the way Earnhardt’s been running this year, the win was only a matter of time. “That 88 [Earnhardt’s team] has had a ton of speed and hasn’t always got the finishes, but they have been battling in the top five each week. You could just see they kept knocking on the door, and [Sunday] they were able to kick it down and dominated the race pretty good.” And Kenseth said he wouldn’t dispute the notion that Earnhardt, who was a fellow

Dale Earnhardt Jr. celebrates in Victory Lane after winning the Quicken Loans 400. (NASCAR photo) Cup rookie with him back in 2000, is a threat to win the title. “I think they are definitely a contender,” he said. “They have been in the mix each race no matter what size or shape of race track. I think they are, at this point in the season, one of the favorites.” Tony Stewart, runner-up at Michigan, didn’t appear to be in the mood to talk about the big day for the Junior Nation when he made his stop in the media room after the race. “It’s not a national holiday, guys,” Stewart said of Earnhardt’s win, even though it did come on Father’s Day. “This morning, they were celebrating his fourth anniversary of his last win, so I guess we are all in a state of mourning now because he’s broke that streak now, so I don’t know what we are all

supposed to think.” For his part, Earnhardt seemed to be relishing the praise from his peers. “I guess it means I’m an all-right dude,” he said with a chuckle. “When people are happy for you, they want to see you do good. “That’s the way I feel about people; I want to see good people do good things, and I want to see people that I think are good people have success and be happy.” Earnhardt seemed more excited about his dominant victory, one in which he led five times for 95 laps including the final 30, than relieved that his losing streak was over. Even before he won, he told reporters at Michigan that he didn’t believe the media has harped too much on his losing streak. “It hasn’t been that incessant,” he said. “I feel like it’s just a realistic inquiry, and I feel pretty comfortable answering that question.” Earnhardt said he tried to be honest with his answers, and there’s general agreement in the garage that he was just that. “I feel like I’ve told you how terrible we might have been and why we weren’t winning or how close we are and that it’s right around the corner,” he said. “I’m just telling you my gut feeling. But I don’t feel like you guys [media] have asked the question too many times, because I think that if you weren’t asking that kind of question, I’d be a little worried that nobody gives a dang when you’re going to win … “There are other things about finishes and weekends and what happens to you on the race track that can bother you way worse than that to keep you up at night.”

Joey Logano’s racing future, rather murky a few weeks ago, is looking much more promising of late, especially after he won the Nationwide Series race at Michigan International Speedway. It was his fifth Nationwide win of the season and his fourth in the past five Nationwide races. During that stretch, he also scored an impressive Sprint Cup victory at Pocono. “We are just on a roll right now, both on the Cup and Nationwide side,” Logano told reporters after his Nationwide win. “This team is absolutely great, and we are clicking on all levels, from at the shop to at the track. “I’ve had a lot of confidence in myself lately, and my abilities and knowing what I can do with a race car. I feel like I’m feeding my crew chiefs the best information, and they’re doing the best job they can do to make the best race cars for me.” Logano’s Nationwide success comes after Kyle Busch, who had dominated the series in the car Logano is now driving, cut back on his Nationwide driving. Busch has made seven Nationwide starts in a car fielded by his Kyle Busch Motorsports team this year, but has yet to add to his career win total of 51. Logano wasn’t as fortunate in the Cup race on Sunday. He ran in the top-five early in the race, but was knocked out in a crash and finished 35th. But he said he and his team can bounce back. “We still have a lot of momentum going,” he said. “We are still running strong and bringing very Joey Logano fast cars to the track. We (NASCAR photo) will just put this behind us and go on to Sonoma and keep moving forward. There is still plenty of time, and we are still in a great position to get ourselves into the Chase and that is what we are focused on doing.” Officials from Joe Gibbs Racing told ESPN reporters at Michigan that they intend to keep Logano under contract.

Frustration, regrets after loss Nationwide Series driver Michael McDowell finished seventh at Michigan in Joe Gibbs Racing’s No. 20 Toyota, but he told reporters afterward that he should have done better, but didn’t get the right chassis setup under his car. “I got us messed up in practice, and I didn’t realize it until the start of the race,” he said, adding that the fact that his teammate Joey Logano won the race only added to his disappointment. “It’s kind of frustrating when your teammate is in victory lane, and you know you have a car that can do it,” he said. McDowell has a chance to redeem himself Saturday at Road America, where last year he dominated the race and was in position to win with four laps to go. He wound up spinning during a bizarre sequence of events that ended with Reed Sorenson scoring a surprising victory.

Father’s Day gift for crew chief Chad Johnston, crew chief on the No. 56 Toyota driven by Martin Truex Jr., had a Father’s Day weekend to remember. His wife Stacey gave birth to Chase Allen Johnston on Friday night. He weighed in at nine pounds and 20.75 inches long. Johnston remained in Mooresville, N.C., while Scott Miller, Michael Waltrip Racing’s executive vice president of competition, filled in for him at Michigan. Truex finished 12th and remains seventh in points.

Drivers battle tire wear on repaved Michigan track Before Dale Earnhardt Jr. drove to victory in the Quicken Loans 400, the big stories at Michigan International Speedway were the speeds on the newly repaved track and the tire wear that resulted. After 19 drivers qualified at better than 200 miles per hour, led by pole-sitter Marcos Ambrose, who ran 203.241 mph, and some blistered tires, Goodyear switched the left-side tires to a harder compound manufactured in 2006 and 2007. Teams were given an added practice

session on Saturday and the new left tires cut speeds dramatically. Still, blistered right-side tires were an issue on Sunday. “I am a little disappointed because we couldn’t run the car as hard as we needed to,” said fourthplace finisher Greg Biffle. “The right rear kept coming apart on us. I could only run it as hard as I could.” Earnhardt initially didn’t like the way his car drove on the new left tires, but he and his team were able to overcome the change in the car’s

handling. “I felt like we might be getting ready to have a difficult race,” he said. “It turned out to be the exact opposite for whatever reason … “We got to put on a race today without any problems, without any tire problems, so I assume that everything is OK. “We’ll probably have to tire test here again and figure out something a little bit better than this, because this definitely ain’t the answer.”

Dustin Eckman Wins Limited Late Special at Stateline Speedway By Glenn Slocum Contributing Writer

BUSTI, N.Y. — The Limited Late Special was run under warm cloudy skies. The Finns Auto Service and Magnum Graf-x sponsored event was the first feature of the evening. Dustin Eckman led every lap of the event fending off an early race challenge from Steve Kania then cruising through the remainder of the event. Chad Schauers and Dustin Eckman were on the front row for the special, but failed to start at the cone on their initial attempt before doing better the on the second attempt. Jake Finnerty, running fourth on the start, jumped the cushion in turn two and ended up in the turn two wall. Finnerty left the speedway on the hook. Eckman won the race to turn one on the restart and led by five car lengths at the line with Schauers second and Steve Kania alongside. John Cline had problems on lap three for the second caution of the event. Kania was second for the restart with Schauers third. Steve Moynihan grabbed third from Schauers on the restart as Kania started to run down Eckman. Kania could get a fender alongside Eckman but could not complete the pass. Moynihan caught the two leaders as they ran nose to tail with ten laps complete. Eckman, Kania and Moynihan had a straight way lead with Cline spun in turn two for caution three. Moynihan slid down in front of Kania for second on the restart and Chris Ottaway joined the fray along with Tyler Green. With five laps to go Eckman had an eight-car length lead over Moynihan with three car lengths back to Kania. Eckman had the race in hand at the two to go signal. Ottaway made the last lap pass of Kania in a photo finish after Eckman cruised to the win. Rich Gardner won his 19th Super Late Model feature starting fourth, getting second on lap 1 and took the lead from Chris Hackett after the first yellow. Rod Maloy and Chris Hackett led the way onto the speedway. Hackett led Gardner at the completion of lap 1. Dick Barton and Greg Oakes

ended up in the tires on the inside of turn four for caution number one with two laps complete. Hackett, Gardner, Maloy, Doug Eck and Dutch Davies were the top five for the restart. Hackett went wide in turn four after the restart and Gardner became the new leader with Davies second and Hackett and Maloy contesting third. Eck faded and David Scott took his place in fourth as Davies chased Gardner. Chuck Parker spun in front of the leaders for caution two with five laps complete. Gardner, Davies, Scott, Hackett and Bump Hedman were the leaders. Eck and Greg Johnson tangled and Scott slowed pulling into the pits for caution three. Eck would not listen to race control and was sent to the tail during the yellow. Hackett had more problems on the restart nearly hitting a wrecker in the infield for caution four. Eleven laps were complete. Hedman started second with Davies on the outside in third and Gardner alone out in front. Gardner and Hedman got the jump on the restart with Davies a distant third. As the race stayed green Gardner was able build a lead as the race stayed green

through the final laps. Hedman was able to hold off Davies for the second. Damian Bidwell broke into the winners circle for the first time in 2012 becoming the fourth different winner in the Crate Late Model division. Bidwell started on the pole and was the first around with Bob Dorman second. A three-car tangle collected Mark Thrasher, Justin Tatlow and John Haggerty. Zack Carley slid across in front of the field and somehow did not make contact just losing one spot. On the next circuit Brian Haggerty lost the handle for yellow two. Bidwell and Dorman were the leaders. At the end of the restart lap Skip Jackson caused caution three. Bidwell, Dorman, Carley, Jason Genco and Bruce Hordusky Jr. were top five leaders for the lap 7 restart. After the restart Bidwell was able to gain a sizeable lead over Dorman with seven laps to Dorman started to close then Bidwell moved away again. Lap traﬃc became a factor letting Dorman close within five car lengths but he could not close the distance and Bidwell became the fourth different winner of the season. Scott Gurdak survived an E-Mod

feature with horrendous attrition as only eight of the original eighteen starters finished. Dave Shagla led the first lap of the feature with Ben Asel second. Asel tangled with another car spinning to a stop between turns three and four for the first caution. One lap was complete Shagla was followed by Scott Gurdak and Butch Southwell. Gurdak decided the high side was the way to go and bested Shagla on lap 5 to become the new leader. Greg Johnson was fourth with Alex Froman fifth. Asel and Steve Rex caused caution two. Johnson and Shagla were heavily contesting the third spot when the yellow came out for Justin Carlson. Carlson was nosed into the back stretch fence. Froman, Chuck Frye, Mike McGee, Ron Seeley and John Boardman wrecked on the front stretch one lap after the restart. Rex spun for caution four with 15 laps down. Johnson was the next with problems sliding to a stop in turn four then pulling into the pits for caution five. Three laps remained. Just before the white flag flew Anthony Marotto spun for caution six. Only eight cars remained for the final two laps. Gurdak survived

the final caution for his first win of the season. Chris Withers won his sixth feature in a row when the Street Stock feature was ended by oﬃcials after their ninth caution. Eric Harvey and Ken Kamp Jr. spun into the infield on the first lap causing a yellow before the first lap was complete. Yellow two occurred on the restart sending Steve Keith Jr. into the pits. The next start saw another yellow this time for Kevin Hill. The leaders Jeffery Keith and Nickolas Mohawk hooked and nearly hit the wall coming out of turn two. Keith was given his spot back and Mohawk was sent to the rear. Keith led lap one and Todd Bacon led lap two then caution five. Caution six occurred when the flagman waived off the restart. Three wide on the restart saw Chris Withers take the top spot and Vic Earle Jr. spun collecting Elaine Best for caution seven with just three laps complete. Two more laps were completed when Earle spun for caution eight. Withers was in control at the halfway point which was quickly followed by a spin by Don Hebner and the race was ended with Withers getting his sixth win in a row. The yellow fever continued in the Super Sportsman race that saw Dan Nocero Jr. get his fourth win of the year. Nocero, the Super Sportsman point leader, started on the pole and quickly took command of the Sportsman feature event. Jason Schumaker spun on lap six for the first caution of the event. Nocero was followed by Wade Watson and Ben Burgess Jr. A car stalled on the speedway caused caution two with six laps complete. Burgess tested Nocero on the restart but could not complete the pass. Schumaker spun again on lap seven for caution three and on the restart for Rick Karash and Clint Haskins. Watson and Burgess make contact spinning Watson for caution three. Schumaker spun for caution four with nine laps complete. With two laps remaining Nocero won the event beating Burgess by five car lengths at the finish.

Lanigan Wins World of Outlaws Loot at Eriez Speedway Again By Jay Pees

Contributing Writer

HAMMETT, Pa. — Rain was in the area when the Outlaws rolled into town but in time trials Union, KY’s Darrell Lanigan, defending race champion, set fast time with a quick time of 15.968 seconds around the 3/8 mile Eriez Speedway at an average of 84.544 MPH. Second quick was Watertown, NY’s Tim McCreadie at 16.079 seconds and 83.960 MPH. Rain appeared at lap three in the second B-Main bringing a rain-delay that lasted nearly an hour. Mother Nature didn’t win this time and the fans saw a competitive feature that saw Lanigan take home the winner’s share of the purse. Tim McCreadie, who led the most laps, wound up second with 2011 champion Rick Eckert third, rookie Bub McCool fourth, and polesitter Chub Frank fifth. The companion features were won by Pat McGuire, Dustin Eckman, and Max Blair.

In the first heat Davey Johnson got off to an early lead but spun sideways coming out of turn two, collecting the cars of Kent Robinson, John Lobb, John Volpe, and Doug Eck with Bloomington, IN’s Robinson flipping one and a half times, landing on his roof. Four heat races transferred four cars each to the 50-lap “A” Main and two “B” Mains transferred three more cars each. Heat races were won by Lanigan, Boom Briggs, Russell King, and Chub Frank. B-Mains were won by Pat Doar and Jeff Fuller. In the redraw for starting positions from the top two in each heat, Chub Frank wound up on the pole with 2006 series champion Tim McCreadie outside front row. Provisional starters Kent Robinson and John Lobb were added to the field by the World of Outlaws and Rich Gardner was added as the track provisional. Lobb used his brother Randy’s car for the feature and Robinson, who had destroyed his mount in the heat race roll-over,

used the “crate car” of local driver Rob Bates. Tim McCreadie led the first lap with Shane Clanton, fresh off a $100,000 win in “The Dream” at Eldora Speedway, taking over at the front in lap 2. After a lap 2 caution Frank re-assumed second when green again flew but Clanton was opening a lead. At lap 9 Jack Sullivan looped his mount in turn four. Frank again ran second with McCreadie digging on the bottom of the track, regaining second at lap 13. Clanton’s excellent run at the front ended at lap 14, when he suddenly slowed and pulled to the infield. Mc-

Creadie, who won Saturday night at Hagerstown Speedway, then led the way with Frank again second. Darrell Lanigan, the 2011 winner of this race was third at this point with Mike Knight, Eriez point’s leader, fourth. Two laps before halfway Frank got wide and “jumped the cushion” in turn two, allowing Lanigan to slip by for second. At 30 laps into the event, 2012 World of Outlaws champion Rick Eckert slipped by Frank for third. Caution again flew at lap 38 when fifth-running Mike Knight suddenly slowed on the backstretch. After green Lanigan went to

the high side and began challenging for the lead just as John Lobb spun in turn four at lap 41, again slowing the field. Lanigan again immediately went to the high side after green and got by the leader three laps later, then went on to his second successive Eriez Speedway win. With rain in the forecast and bearing down on the speedway, racing got underway for the Bonnell Collision Street Stocks with pole-sitter Mark Frontera leading the first five laps before being supplanted at the front by eventual winner, 2011 champion Pat McGuire. The finish was McGuire, Frontera, John Phelps Jr, Andy Faulhaber, and Kevin Wetherall. Dustin Eckman took off with the immediate lead in the Conway & O’Malley Limited Late Model feature and built a big lead until Steve Kania spun mid-pack at lap 6, collecting four cars. Eckman went on to the win, his first Limited Late Model triumph at Eriez over Chris McGuire,

Dan Maxim, Stan Davis, and Mike Lozowski. The Dan’s Route 8 Boardwalk Bar and Grill FASTRAK Late Model feature was brought to the green flag by Damian Bidwell and Zack Carley with Bidwell spinning on turn two. When racing resumed defending champion Kyle Zimmerman led the first lap with Bob Dorman coming to second and Max Blair third. At lap 6 Bruce Hordusky Jr and Bobby Rohrer got together in turn two, again bringing caution over the speedway. At green Blair succeeded in getting by Dorman in turn one ten by the leader in turn four. Dorman came to the lead when Blair and Zimmerman went high the next lap. Blair then retook the lead a lap later and went on to the win. Dorman spun from the second spot at lap 15. Zimmerman wound up second with Jamie Brown third, Chad Wright fourth, and Matt Latta fifth.

Progress Made In Bills Lease Talks

By John Wawrow Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Progress is being made in negotiations to extend the Buffalo Bills lease at Ralph Wilson Stadium and the $200 million price tag for renovations that comes with it, leaving Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz hopeful an agreement in principal could be reached by the end of next month. ''I feel there's agreement on some basic principles, and as a result I feel that we're headed in the right direction,'' Poloncarz said by phone on Friday. ''We'll be meeting again in the future very soon, and it is my goal as well as the Bills' organization to have the general terms hammered out by the start of training camp.'' Poloncarz stressed it's premature to label the deal as anywhere near completion. The first step would be reaching what Poloncarz called a ''memorandum of understanding,'' which would encompass the framework of the agreement by the time the Bills open training camp on July 26. The date does not represent a hard and fast deadline, but is instead an artificial timetable the two sides have set as an objective to complete talks. The next step would be just as comprehensive and involve lawyers preparing an actual lease to be signed before the Bills' current deal expires in July 2013. The lease talks, combined with the Bills' bid to extensively renovate the 40-year-old stadium, are regarded as a key phase in securing the small-market franchise's long-term future in Buffalo. Poloncarz confirmed the renovation price

tag at being between $200 million and $220 million, which is more than double what former Erie County Executive Chris Collins projected it would be in October before talks began. Last year, the Bills spent about $500,000 in hiring an architectural firm to conduct a thorough study of what improvements are necessary to both upgrade the stadium's existing structure and add fan-friendly, revenue-generating enhancements. The renovations would take about three years to complete, with the work done during the NFL offseason, Poloncarz said. Up for discussion is how much of the team's wish-list of needs will be included and how to divide the costs between the county, state as well as the Bills.

Skellie Signs Professional Contract With Florence Freedom Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — Former St. Bonaventure baseball player Ryan Skellie has signed a contract with the Florence Freedom, an independent professional baseball team in the Frontier League. An Erie, Pa. native, Skellie led the Bonnies last year in home runs (five), slugging percentage (.462) and stolen bases (five). He finished second on the Bona roster in triples (three) and total bases (84), and concluded the campaign third on the team in batting average (.313), hits (57) and RBI (31). Skellie, who graduated from St. Bonaventure in May, had a tryout Monday with the Freedom, and was signed the same day by the franchise based in northern Kentucky. "It feels great to get an opportunity at the next level," Skellie said. "It's something I'm really looking forward to enjoying." Skellie made a significant impact at Bonaventure right

Poloncarz said that the Bills and the NFL have been asked to contribute an undisclosed share. He noted that other teams, including the Minnesota Vikings and Kansas City Chiefs, have committed their own money on renovations or building new stadiums. And he added the NFL has system in place to help its franchises pay for capital improvements. With Erie County having limited resources, Poloncarz also expects New York State to provide a commitment. The state has a large stake in keeping the Bills, because the team is estimated to generate between $15 million and $20 million in state taxes. Talks have involved both Erie County and state officials, while the Bills have been represented by CEO Russ Brandon and trea-

surer Jeffrey Littman. Gov. Andrew Cuomo's representatives have repeatedly declined to comment on lease talks. Brandon was out of the office and not available for comment. Brandon has previously said the Bills are committed to Buffalo, while adding the stadium renovations are both necessary to preserve the existing facility and allow the franchise to keep pace with newer stadiums around the NFL. Without going into detail, Poloncarz said the Bills have provided assurances of their commitment to stay in Buffalo. ''That is part of the negotiations that are going on, but I do feel in my heart that the Bills not only are committed to this community today, but are committed to this community in the future,'' he said. ''I believe it is Ralph Wilson's desire that the Bills stay in this community after his death. And I think everybody at the table believes that. The Bills have expressed that repeatedly.'' Though Bills owner Ralph Wilson has maintained he has no intention of selling or relocating the team during his lifetime, the 93-year-old Detroit-based businessman isn't getting any younger. And concerns continue to be raised as to what might happen to the franchise upon his death, because Wilson has not revealed a succession plan beyond having his heirs sell the team. ''We're not New York City, we're not Chicago, we're not Boston, and we never will be,'' Poloncarz said, in noting how important the Bills are to Buffalo's image. ''But I certainly like us to be greater than other cities out there of comparable size that wish they had an NFL team. Well, we have one, and I have no intention of seeing that team leave on my watch.''

Parise Wants To Stay A Devil, Says No To Rangers

By Tom Canavan Associated Press

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — With op free agency looming in less than three weeks, New Jersey y Devils captain Zach Parise has crossed the rival Rangers off his list of potential future vi- employers. by r Meeting with the media ne for the first time since New Jersey lost the Stanley Cup in six games to the Los Angers les Kings two days ago, the 27-year-old Parise reiterated that he would like to continue playing for the Devils and he would even consider signing m before free agency starts on gh- July with the right deal. te c When asked if he'd play for the Rangers, a team New Jersey defeated in the postseason, eir he was short and simple: “No.'' “Don't try to get a headline out of this,'' Parise quipped ms Wednesday as the Devils cleaned out their lockers at xt the Prudential Center. Devils president and general manager Lou Lamoriello said re-signing Parise, who earned in excess of $5 million last season, would be a priority for the Eastern Conference champions. Lamoriello also said it would be up to goaltender Martin Brodeur to decide whether he wants to return next season. If the 40-year-old goaltender is up for a 19th season, and he has indicated he is, the team will have a new contract for him.

Lamoriello will be busy in the offseason on the free-agent market. In addition to Parise and Brodeur, defensemen Bryce Salvador, Peter Harrold and Mark Fayne (restricted), backup goaltender Johan Hedberg and forwards Petr Sykora, Alexei Ponikarovsky, Steve Bernier, Stephen Gionta and Ryan Carter all need contracts. Parise, who was called the heart of the Devils by coach Peter DeBoer, is the most important. Coming off a major knee injury that limited him to 13 games in 2010-11, he scored 31 goals in the regular season and added eight more in the postseason. He also was a penalty killer and relentless two-way player. Parise, who refused to discuss his upcoming free agency in the regular season, does not have a timetable for getting a new deal. He also did not believe that his agent, Wade

in the cards. Parise often made comments during the season — as most of his teammates did — about how enjoyable an experience it was to work for DeBoer, who just finished his first season in New Jersey. Certainly that will play into the mix, as will the Devils' run to the Stanley Cup finals. On top of all that, Parise is just the ninth player in franchise history to wear the “C'' on his jersey. He's often spoken on how proud he is of that honor, and many of those who came before him — Bruce Driver, Scott Niedermayer, Scott Stevens, Jamie Langenbrunner and Patrik Elias, among them — have helped the organization to Stanley Cup titles. He's yet to do that, of course, so that carrot is still out there for him. “I'll probably just shut off my phone and not talk to anybody and reflect on everything,'' he said. “Everyone has opinions and rightfully so. Everyone has been through different things, but this is a decision I have to make on my own.'' Brodeur hopes the Devils will be able to keep Parise. “I think he is the face of the Devils,'' the veteran goaltender said. “He is a kid that people, they see him, and they see a Devil. They see the type of work ethic he has. And I said this after the game, first year as a captain, not too

Arnott, and Lamoriello had contract talks during the season. Lamoriello refused to comment on talks with Parise. Arnott did not immediately answer an email from The Associated Press seeking comment on Parise's free agency. “We're going to keep all that stuff between Lou and I, as we always have,'' Parise said. “I've said all along I love playing here. I've always appreciated everything that this organization has done for me. My feelings have never changed.'' This is Parise's first go-around with free agency and he said he intends to listen to his agents and try to enjoy it. However, he added he will make the final decision and it all won't come down to money. It also will depend on being with a winner and getting along with a new coach and teammates if that is Continued on pg 10

Walleye Fishing Prospects Look Dim By Steve Peacock Star Outdoors Writer

The fishing has heated up along with the weather. Last Saturday my dad and I got the boat out and went perch fishing. We feel like we did pretty well, we caught 53 keepers in about four hours. We could have caught more had we stayed longer, but I spent the rest of the day cleaning fish as it was. We did have to move once before we found the fish. I didn’t run into other perch fishermen to see how they did.

There were several boats out in our general area and I assume they were catching fish as well. As many boats as there were, there were less than normal because of the walleye tournament. Most of the fishermen I know were walleye fishing last weekend — some for the tournament and some not. The guys I heard from all caught some fish during the tournament, but it was not consistent. The boat that I usually fish on brought in six walleyes on one day, but then none two days later. They caught a total of nine walleyes for the tourna-

ment. That’s as good as the walleye fishing is likely to get until the Ohio fish migrate this far east. I’ve mentioned this migration in previous articles and it is a bit of a mystery to me. I can only guess that the search for food is what drives them to move in our direction. Then it would make sense that if they find what they are looking for then the migration would be over. This would explain why they don’t always make it all the way to us. I would like to say again that this is only guesswork on my part.

It looks like another great weekend ahead for fishing on Lake Erie. I hope to be walleye fishing this Saturday morning. This time of the year, I naturally talk mostly about fishing, but this past week I spent some time in the woods. I saw a little baby fawn on my property, and after it had left the area I looked at the tracks it had left. The hoof prints that it left in the mud were smaller than a mark I made with my thumb. As normal I was left wishing I had brought along my camera, maybe next time.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article

Department of Environmental Conservation

On June 23-24, anyone can fish the fresh or marine waters of New York State and no fishing license is required. Since no license is required, it’s the perfect time to take a friend or relative fishing. Anglers must still abide by New York State fishing regulations during the free fishing weekend. Family Fishing Day Clinic On Saturday, June 23 from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Chestnut Ridge Park Pond in Orchard Park, the DEC and Erie County Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs team up to provide a free family fishing day where participants can enjoy excellent fishing and learn about fish, fishing techniques and tackle at the education stations. Because this event falls on the free fishing weekend, no fishing license is required to fish. Kids age 15 and under can register to win great prizes in the random drawing. Fishing rods are avail-

able to borrow, or bring your own. Worms provided for bait. Adult accompaniment is required for all participating youth anglers. Contact the East Aurora Boys & Girls Club to register (716) 652-4180. Contact NYSDEC at (716) 851-7010 for more event information. Lake Erie The Lake Erie walleye action has generally been slow much of the week, with most returning boats averaging between 1 and 4 fish. Of all ports, Barcelona has seen the better walleye catches and sizes. Out of Barcelona, fish are spread out between 40-100 feet of water (fow). The few anglers who have found bait clouds and feeding walleye schools have put up limit catches. Stickbaits have been a better bet, as worm harnesses also catch many white perch and sheephead. Very few reports have come in from areas east of Dunkirk, however trollers are picking up a few walleye outside 40 fow. The yellow perch bite has cooled a bit this week. Most perch anglers

are still targeting the traditionally productive area between Cattaraugus Creek and Sturgeon Point in 5065 fow. Anglers are marking plenty of fish, but some schools just won't bite. It is best to move around until you find an active school. Emerald shiners fished just off the bottom work best. There are still some smallmouth bass hanging around the harbors, but the better bite is on the open lake. Target rocky reef and shoal areas in 10-30 fow. Tube jigs, twister tails, deep diving stickbaits, live minnows and crayfish are good baits. A drop-shot rig with live bait or tube jigs is a good bet in deeper water. Lake Erie Tributaries This has been a very good season for channel catfish fishing. Anglers are still reporting good catfish catches in the lower section of Cattaraugus Creek. Target catfish with nightcrawlers, raw shrimp, chicken livers, cut bait or dough balls fished on the bottom. Catfish catches are often better at night. Chautauqua Lake

Regular black bass and muskellunge seasons opened Saturday June 16, and Chautauqua Lake is a good spot for both. Anglers can target musky on the outside of weedlines by casting stickbaits and bucktail jigs or by trolling with large stickbaits, Hot N' Tots and bucktail trolling spinners. Bass are also available in the same area. Stickbaits, tube jigs, live minnows and crayfish are good bets for bass. Yellow perch are plentiful and are available lakewide on small minnows. Now is a good time to take a young or new angler fishing at Chautauqua Lake. Bass, sunfish and perch are all readily available from docks and shore. Walleye fishing has been slow, but they are available near weed edges after dark. Upper Niagara River There has been an uptick in catches from Broderick Park. Anglers report good yellow perch catches on minnows and worms. At the foot of Ontario Street, anglers report fair catches of rock bass and yellow perch on worms. At LaSalle Park, anglers catch the occasional smallmouth

bass on tube jigs and stickbaits. Inland Trout Streams The area's trout streams are in ideal shape with medium flows, clear water and good fly hatches. A variety of bugs are coming off the water now, but sulphurs, caddisflies, March browns and blue-winged olives are most common. Best surface activity is in afternoon until dusk. Spinning anglers do well with worms, salted minnows and small inline spinners. If you are a catch and release angler and use spinners, it is a good idea to outfit your spinners with a single hook rather than a treble hook. If you need more fishing information or would like to contribute to the fishing report, please call or e-mail Mike Todd (716-8517010; mttodd@gw.dec.state.ny.us) or Jim Markham (716-366-0228; jlmarkha@gw.dec.state.ny.us).

U.S. OPEN continued from pg 4 ting him in the mix for the rest of the day. ''It was a cool day,'' Simpson said. ''I had a peace all day. I knew it was a tough golf course. I probably prayed more the last three holes than I ever did in my life.''

Simpson's approach from the fairway rough on No. 18 went just right of the green and disappeared into a hole, a circle of dirt about the size of a sprinkler cap. With a clump of grass behind the ball, he had a bold stroke for such a nervy shot and it came out perfectly,

rolling 3 feet by the hole for his much-needed par. Then, it was time to wait. It was the third time in the last seven years that no one broke par in the U.S. Open. On all three occasions, the winner was in the locker room when

the tournament ended. The best bit of drama from the winner came from a chair. He seemed somewhat calm but his blonde-haired wife, Dowd, had her eyes wide open, squeezing his arm and covering her mouth watching

Furyk and McDowell play the last three holes. After McDowell's putt to force an 18-hole playoff was off, they shared a hug and a kiss. Simpson whispered a few words in his wife's ear — ''I don't think you'll be able to sleep now,'' he

said — and stayed sitting for several seconds. ''When Graeme missed on 18 and I realized I had won, I just kind of shook my head in disbelief,'' Simpson said. ''I couldn't believe it actually happened.''

STONY BROOK continued from pg 4 The six runs were the most by a team in an inning in 19 CWS games played at TD Ameritrade Park. "You can't, against good teams, make the mistakes we made and expect to survive that," Seawolves coach Matt Senk said. "That's pretty much the bottom line." Gonzalez bounced back from a tough night in the loss to Arizona. He committed two errors at shortstop, got picked off first base in the 11th inning, and struck out twice. "That Friday game was a test of my faith," he said. "To be able to come out there and help my club the way I did just shows that I was blessed to be able to do that." The lead grew to 9-0 the next inning after Travis, the last batter McNitt faced, hit a drive to nearly the same spot as Gonzalez.

Six of the Seminoles' 11 hits went for extra bases, and Florida State didn't leave any runners on base until the eighth inning. FSU starter Mike Compton (12-2) allowed two runs and six hits in six innings. Brandon McNitt (8-4) went 3 2-3 innings and gave up nine runs, four earned. Stony Brook, a Division I baseball program for only 12 years, came to town much celebrated for its "Shock The World" mantra after its upset of LSU on the road. The Seawolves were the first team from the Northeast to play at the CWS since Maine in 1986, and they brought with them huge offensive numbers. Stony Brook entered the CWS with a .335 batting average that ranked second nationally, but the Seawolves hit a combined .194 (12-for-62) in

QUARTERBACK MENTORS continued from pg 4 their two games. They were eighth in scoring and came nowhere close to their 7.2 runs a game, largely because their best hitters struggled. Travis Jankowski, a first-round draft pick by the San Diego Padres, was 1-for-8. Carmona, who was 2-for-8, had a single and double against the Seminoles, but both came after the Seawolves trailed by at least seven runs. Jankowski said the level of pitching he and his teammates faced against UCLA and Florida State wasn't much different from what they saw at LSU. "We didn't swing at good pitches, and when we did we didn't put good swings on them," he said. "Against good pitching, you only get one or two mistakes a game, and when you miss them they're going to make you pay."

all-time leader in touchdown passes (134) and completions (1,403) and second in passing yards (15,793). Still, there were questions about his arm strength and whether all those numbers were less about talent than a product of the Red Raiders' shotgun-formation spread offense. “I think everybody would agree that Graham's throwing with more velocity, and I would say that that starts with him,'' McCarthy said. “That's a credit to really what he's done from the end of last season until now. He's stronger, he's done a few things fundamentally, where we could help him with his power (and) throwing mechanics, and you'll see that improve as time goes on. “He's getting better. It's right there for him as far as being the No. 2.'' The Packers stood pat on

quarterbacks in the offseason, with Harrell's only competition being rookie seventhround pick B.J. Coleman. “It's nice that they didn't bring in a veteran guy,'' Harrell said. “Watching film and stuff like that is very beneficial, no question about it. But the best way to learn things is to actually do it. So the more reps you get, the better you get.'' That's why McCarthy, new offensive coordinator Tom Clements and new quarterbacks coach Ben McAdoo have tried to get Harrell as much work as possible this spring, since he spent most of his time observing as the third-stringer the past two years. It's also helped to have an actual offseason, albeit a truncated one; when Harrell arrived in 2010, quarterback school was already over, and all of last year's offseason was wiped out by labor strife.

“This is the first offseason that Graham has had, so it's been an important one for him. I think he's developing pretty well,'' said Clements. “He's picking up the system better, he's getting better making all the calls that we require the quarterbacks to make. We feel very good about him.'' For Harrell, having McCarthy, Clements and McAdoo — and Rodgers — to learn from makes for the perfect place to reach his goal: To, like Flynn, earn the opportunity to start someday. “Everyone that plays in this league, their goal is to eventually start. As far as a place to learn and a place to develop, Green Bay is an awesome spot,'' Harrell said. “With Aaron being here and learning from him, and the staff we have with Mike and Tom and Ben in there, it's a great place to learn and develop as a quarterback.''

Brodeur quickly laughed. Salvador was unsure whether the Devils would offer him a new contract. However, he was happy to have played the season without missing a game just a year after sitting out a full season with a

Insider By T.J. TOMASI BIRDIES AND BOGEYS

IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME

WHAT SCIENCE SAYS

Don’t sweat it

Much has been written about the advantages of exercise such as walking and playing golf. Now scientists have discovered a substance secreted in the brain when you exercise called “brain-derived neurotropic factor” that actually makes those who produce it not only healthier, but also smarter, a nice addition to most golf games. Michael Hopkins at Dartmouth College found that about 60 percent of the population increased mental acuity and memory with exercise. Plus, there’s more good news: The exercise doesn’t have to be strenuous to accrue the benefits. Hopkins’ subjects simply performed “easy walking” with no heavy lifting or exhausting marathons involved. “For mental health benefits, what really counts is exercising on a regular basis — not the intensity. You don’t have to wipe yourself out,” Hopkins told The Huffington Post. “The basic goal is, get up and move your whole body more than half of the days of the week.” Alejandro Lleras of the University of Illinois, another brain researcher, puts it this way: “The way you think is affected by your body and, in fact, we can use our bodies to help us think. … In other words, by directing the way people move their bodies, we are — unbeknownst to them — directing the way they think about the problem.” What a turnaround for golf’s reputation! Now that you know you don’t have to kill yourself with rigorous workouts to keep your mind quick and powerful, the tepid nature of golf, once thought to be a disadvantage, becomes its biggest plus. ASK THE PRO

Thought control Q: I’m taking lessons from a good pro who gives me a lot of technical stuff, but I’m getting worse instead of better. What should I do? — S.R. A: A story is told about the teaching pro who made a presentation in which he related the golf swing to the process of walking, both very complicated motor activities. He did a great job going through the step-bystep procedure for each one, drilling down to the last detail. When he was finished, someone in the audience said, “Gee, that was great. How is your golf swing now?” And he said, “I don’t know. I can’t walk anymore.” Here’s your takeaway: There are some things you can’t think about while you do them. Walking is one, and golf is another. (To Ask the Pro a question about golf, email him at: pblion@aol.com.)

The many faces of your slice Ninety percent of right-handed golfers aim to the right when they first take up the game, so they are forced to spin their shoulders in an attempt to pull the ball back to the target. The right-to-right slice starts to the right of your target and then inexorably moves more right until it disappears from sight. Of all the slices, this one can leave the playing field the quickest. Since the ball is flying so far right, it’s an instinctive adjustment to open your stance, aiming to the left of the target. But now the ball starts way left and slices back toward the target (the baby boomer). Aiming left works until you make a good release and square the face, resulting in a pull way left of target. To correct the pull, you introduce a chicken-winged front arm that opens the face at impact, causing a slice that finishes to the right of the target (the adult boomer). To fix this, you aim even more left, employ more chicken wing, thus creating the mother of all boomerangs, the nuclear boomer, which starts way left and exits right of target. In a left-to-right crosswind it covers more territory than Lewis and Clark. This natural evolution of your slice occurs over time, and it ex-

Visit his accurately website at because tjtomasi.com. you’re not sure which slice you’re going to hit. How to fix it Your task is to start the ball right of target, then by making the changes below, spin the ball back toward target — a draw: 1. Aim the clubface at the target, but swing to the right of target. Thus the face is closed to the path and you get a draw. 2. Align hips and feet to the right with shoulders slightly closed. Remember, this only works if the face is aimed at the target. 3. Move ball back in your stance two ball widths and tee it higher. 4. Keep hands on the toe line during takeaway and make sure they are inside the clubhead. 5. Starting back to the ball, loop the clubhead to the inside — feel as if you are tucking your hands in your right front pocket. 6. Let you forearms rotate through impact to shut the face.

Lesson learned

Last year at the U.S. Open, Rory McIlroy tore apart Congressional to the tune of 16 under par. On the last day the tees were moved up for unknown reasons, and the scary U.S. Open became more like the second day of the AT&T Pro-Am. Andy North, twice a U.S. Open champ, was none too pleased with the USGA setup at Congressional: “Everybody knew those greens were going to be soft. My argument was … why do we play the ladies’ tees on half the holes? … What has always set our championship apart from the other majors was the mental gymnastics you had to go through just to survive.” Last year, USGA Executive Director Mike Davis, who is supposed to be a genius setting up courses, bogeyed what should have been a slam dunk. I hope he learned a lesson for this year at Olympic.

Nice pairing

For the first time since Torrey Pines in 2008, Phil Mickelson will be paired with Tiger Woods for rounds one and two at a U.S. Open. They will be joined by Bubba Watson as the marquee threesome. Can the bash boys negotiate the doglegs and side-hill lies? When these three are on, nobody curves the ball better.

GOLF SPOKEN HERE

Shank Curing your slice starts with a takeaway in which your hands follow your toe line and stay inside the clubhead.

It’s counterintuitive: The inside-to-out swing path feels as if you’ll hit it way right, but have patience. Soon it will go down the middle.

A mis-hit shot in which the ball is struck on the hosel (neck) of the golf club and flies severely to the right of the golfer.

EQUIPMENT

TEEING OFF

Lie angle changes in motion

Taking a break will make your practice more perfect

Using equipment that is correctly fitted to you is essential if you are to maximize your performance in the game. One of the specifications of primary importance is lie angle, defined as the angle formed by the center line of the shaft with the ground when the club is soled directly over the face line. Lie angle is created as the club sits unmoving on the ground, but the angle changes as the golf club is swung because the shaft flexes during the swing. It bows down so that the toe of the club flattens or gets closer to the ground. This is the dynamic aspect of lie, and it is the reason irons are fitted with the toe slightly up in the air. The important point here is that you may have a static lie angle that appears to fit you, but as soon as the club starts in motion, the lie angle becomes a function of how fast you can swing, how strong you are and what your hand action is. A lie angle that is too upright at impact will cause your ball to go to the left of target. If it’s too flat (toe down), your ball will go to the right of the target. And most likely, because you are unaware of the mis-fit, you’ll tinker with your swing.

There is only one way to tell how your individual characteristics will affect the static specification, and that is to measure it in actual motion. To do this you need a lie angle board, which will show you what happens to your lie angle through impact. This is part of a good fitting process. Takeaway: In order to have a proper clubface at impact, you must have the correct lie angle at address. That’s what fitting is all about.

When the club is soled, the angle formed between the shaft and the ground is the static lie angle.

Two interesting theories about effective learning strategies are supported by recent research. One is obvious, and the second quite revealing. First, during your practice session, you should take frequent short breaks to reboot your power of focus. Remember that every shot needs to be made with full intention and full attention, the two components of your power of focus. A tired athlete is error-prone, and since you are in complete control of the situation when you practice, there is no need to become tired. Second, when you take your break, you should spend it watching others practice — and they don’t have to be pros to make observing them be effective. The researchers found that what you are watching is another person solve problems, which stimulates your brain to solve problems too. At some point in almost every lesson, I stop and ask my student to watch another golfer swing. I have

THE GOLF DOCTOR

Deep breathing benefits you and your game Taking a deep breath to relax should be a part of every single shot you hit in golf, and in a good preshot routine, your relaxing breath comes after you make your shot plan. You can bank on this: You will not play your best golf if you are trip-wire tense. But correct breathing has another huge upside. David Van Wagoner of the Cleveland Clinic says: “Biofeedback and yoga affect the balance of nerve activity that in turn affects the heart. Sympathetic nerve activity (fight or flight) and parasympathetic

activity (relaxation) are in a dynamic balance. But with aging and loss of conditioning, parasympathetic activity tends to decrease.” So learning to breathe correctly, a key component of yoga practice, not only helps you make a good image of your next shot, but done over time, it can help prop up your relaxation response by stimulating your parasympathetic system. For the proper breathing technique, consult my book “The 30-Second Golf Swing” at www.tjtomasi.com.

videotape of the common swing errors, and I choose a tape of someone with the same problem my student is working on. Then I ask my student to be the teacher, break down the problem and institute the solution. You can learn a lot about swinging the club correctly by watching someone do it incorrectly. Knowing what not to do is sometimes as valuable as knowing what to do. Say a golfer comes over the top and pull-slices the ball. Find out how he does it, re-engineer the movement and learn it well enough to do the opposite. You’re not copying the swing; you’re correcting it. This process of re-engineering the problem and then solving it helps the student realize what’s going on in his own swing world. Getting fascinated with someone else’s problem helps you understand how to solve your own. In the normal lesson, the student owns the problem while the teacher owns the solution, but doing it this way, the student owns both the problem and the solution.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“He’s got the monkey off his back right now. Now he can go play golf. … The next one will come when it’s ready to come. I may start worrying about him instead of Tiger.” — Jack Nicklaus, about Rory McIlroy

Love is blind

Stars seek romance in Fox's 'The Choice' By Kyla Brewer TV Media

eality TV has been heating up prime time for a while now, and it didn’t take celebrities long to get in on the act. While some performers initially shunned the genre, others embraced it with reality TV shows of their own such as “The Osbournes,” featuring Ozzy, Sharon and their brood, and “Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica,” highlighting the short-lived marriage between superstar sweethearts Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey. “The Celebrity Apprentice” began life as simply “The Apprentice” before morphing into the current star-studded adaptation. There has even been talk of creating a celebrity version of CBS’s mega-hit “Survivor,” though nothing has materialized yet. While fans may have to wait to see their favorite celebrities outwit, outlast and outplay, viewers can see what happens when stars search for romance in “The Choice,” airing Thursdays on Fox. Cat Deeley hosts this new reality romance show, which offers famous bachelors and bachelorettes the chance to hook up with eligible singles. In the show, the celebs initially learn about their potential mates while facing away from the stage

Dean Cain looks for love in “The Choice” in high-backed chairs that don’t allow them to see those vying for their affection. “Four celebrities. Blind auditions. Spinning chairs. But it’s not what you think ... “ teased the Fox release for “The Choice.” While it’s interesting to test the theory that love is blind, the real draw of the series is undoubtedly the celebrities who’ve signed up. Any star-centric reality TV series worth its salt has to have a few big names, and “The Choice” doesn’t disappoint with figures from music, TV, sports and even a superstar doctor. The bulk of the celebrities are male. Former Man of Steel Dean Cain, who rose to fame as Clark Kent and Superman in the ABC series “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman” in the ‘90s, leads the list along with superstar model Tyson Beckford.

Reality TV star Rob Kardashian and Season 5 “American Idol” winner Taylor Hicks also look for love on the series, as do comedian Finesse Mitchell and music prodigy Romeo. “The Choice” also boasts a bevy of male athletes, including world champion skier and former NFL player Jeremy Bloom, NFL superstar Rob Gronkowski, Olympic gold medal taekwondo champ Steven López, former NFL all-star Warren Sapp, 2010 NFL rookie of the year Ndamukong Suh, and snowboarding star Seth Wescott. Celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito and the aforementioned superstar doctor, Dr. Robert Nettles, round out the men. As for the bachelorettes, the most notable is former “Baywatch” babe and original Pussycat Doll Carmen Electra. She is joined by 2010 Playmate of the Year Hope Dworaczyk, Miss USA 2010 Rima Fakih, and singer and model Sophie Monk. With such a roster of stars, “The Choice” is expected to be one of the hottest dating shows of the summer.

Featurestory New HBO series goes behind the scenes of news show

By Dee Wright TV Media

omedians like Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Bill Maher are some of the leading sources of political news nowadays. The pundits provide facts about governmental developments and policies while providing entertainment and comic relief about serious issues. Though the media is supposed to be unbiased and unwavering based on events in the world, satirists like Colbert take an obvious side on the political spectrum to show some of the exaggerations made by the opposite parties. HBO’s new series follows a news show that started out as a simple broadcast but ends up breaking down walls that so many have been avoiding. Starring Jeff Daniels, Jane Fonda and Sam Waterston, “The Newsroom” premieres Sunday, June 24, on HBO. Will McAvoy (Daniels) was a successful, non-partisan newscaster for “News Night,” a nightly broadcast that covered the political news developments to the day. He had a solid audience and was the frontman for the whole network, ACN, because of his popularity. His stories played it safe — he never asked controversial questions or pushed the limits. He kept his personal opinions out of his interviews and he was “popular because he doesn’t bug anybody.” That image will soon come to an end. During a panel discussion, McAvoy is asked by a college student about why he thinks America is the greatest country in the world. Something within him snaps, and he declares that it isn’t the greatest. He then spews out facts and

Jeff Daniels stars in “The Newsroom” figures about the low income, lower education and high costs of the country — and his entire rant is caught on camera. Afraid he will lose his audience, and ultimately his job, McAvoy agrees to revamp the entire news show to become a serious, hardnews provider — putting politicians on the spot, asking questions voters want to ask and, finally, providing his own commentary on some of the events. Unfortunately, not everyone is happy about the new ideas. The new producer, Mackenzie MacHale (Emily Mortimer), is constantly trying to tighten the leash on what McAvoy is trying to do, and the two are frequently butting heads. A simple request to take his BlackBerry off the desk results in him throwing his cellphone at the camera. Charlie Skinner (Waterston), as president of ACN, plays the referee between the floor and the offices, going to bat for McAvoy but also helping him stay grounded. When he pitched the new structure of the show to the bigwigs, he said: “The newsroom will become a courtroom because American voters need a lawyer.” Leona Lansing (Fonda) is the new CEO of the company that runs

ACN, and she is not pleased with the new format of the show. She wants McAvoy to revert to his human-interest stories that made him so popular in the first place, and she keeps threatening to fire him if he keeps stretching the boundaries. Series creator, writer and producer Aaron Sorkin put himself in several newsrooms to do front-line research for his scripts. He had already worked on two other series about TV shows — “Sports Night” and “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip” — but for “The Newsroom,” Sorkin sat behind the camera at Fox News and CNN, as well as “Hardball With Chris Matthews” and “Countdown With Keith Olbermann.” In an interview with “TV Guide,” Sorkin stated that he wanted to provide a real sense of what newspeople go through. “It’ll be aspirational. It’ll be wish fulfilment. But they’re going to lose as much as they’re going to win. In other words, it’s not going to be a fantasy,” he said. “They’re going to be trying to do well in a context where it’s very difficult to do well when there are commercial concerns and political concerns and corporate concerns.” Daniels has a recognizable face, like most newscasters should, but let’s hope some of his biggest roles don’t take away from his credibility. His roles in “Dumb & Dumber” (1994), “RV” (2006) and “My Favorite Martian” (1999) may paint him as a comedy actor, but he’s had his share of dramatic roles as well. He has appeared in “Terms of Endearment” (1983), “Gettysburg” (1993), “State of Play,” (2009) and “The Lookout” (2007). He’s also won several stage awards for his roles in various plays, including

He also starred in NBC series “I’ll Fly Away” in the early ‘90s and “The Killing Fields” (1984.) Fonda had some real-life experi-

ence for her role in “The Newsroom” — she was married to CNN founder Ted Turner for almost 10 years. Fonda has also dipped her toes in comedy (2005’s “MonsterIn-Law”) and romance (1981’s “On Golden Pond”), but her biggest appearances lately have been behind the metaphorical podium. She’s an avid activist for women’s rights and a supporter of the Democrats, publicly opposing the Vietnam and Iraq wars.

As an actor, Chiklis has been the man in charge through his leading roles in “The Shield” and “No Ordinary Family.” He’ll be part of an all-star ensemble cast, which also includes Dennis Quaid and CarrieAnne Moss, when the highly anticipated CBS series “Vegas” debuts this fall. Keith Lockhart, who has been the Boston Pops conductor since 1995, will lead the orchestra through its performance. He has helmed more than 1,300 concerts with the group and has helped usher in a new era for the orchestra. INNOCENCE LOST: Hundreds of thousands of people in the U.S. are currently in jail, and while trials and investigations usually point to the guilty party, sometimes, the wrong person is put behind bars. Now, an actor known for his roles in crime dramas is lending

year’s Independence Day festivities will feature plenty of star power, lots of crackling fireworks and, of course, the Pops. CBS is gearing up for this year’s broadcast of the annual “Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular” by announcing it has landed renowned TV actor Michael Chiklis as the special’s host. But the fireworks display will have to contend with the powerhouse pipes of Oscar- and Grammy-winning performer Jennifer Hudson, who will sing some of her most popular tunes with the Boston Pops Orchestra. The special will broadcast live from the Charles River Esplanade in Boston on Wednesday, July 4. This year marks the 39th anniversary of the annual outdoor concert. The last 20 minutes of the special, which will feature the acclaimed fireworks display, will run without commercials. Hudson will bring lots of popular appeal to the event. As living proof that contestants don’t have to win the “American Idol” contest to become successful, the singer went on to win an Academy Award for her role as Effie in 2006’s “Dreamgirls,” which was also her film debut. Two years later, she won a Jennifer Hudson will Grammy for her self-titled perform with the debut album. Boston Pops Orchestra

his voice to a new series that tells the true stories of the people whose voices were ignored. They were betrayed, neglected and often forgotten by the justice system and left to serve terms of imprisonment for no real reason at all. Since the ‘90s, Chris Noth has built a strong reputation in Hollywood as a detective in two of the shows in the “Law & Order” franchise, and he is now playing a state’s attorney who’s had his own brushes with the law in “The Good Wife.” Next, he will narrate the new one-hour series “I Didn’t Do It,” which will premiere on Investigation Discovery this fall. The inaugural run of “I Didn’t Do It,” which is currently in production, will air in six parts and will tell the personal stories of people who were convicted of crimes they didn’t commit, thus illuminating a tragic flaw in today’s justice system. These stories will be told through re-enactments and a series of interviews with the accused, jurors, attorneys and investigators, all while those working for the system continue the hunt for the real criminals. THESE GIRLS CAN SING: Two of Hollywood’s hottest actresses will make their return to television after many years away when Fox’s “Glee” starts its fourth season this fall. One of them is best known for her versatility on the big screen, while the other is renowned for her role as a relationship columnist

with a shoe-shopping addiction. Movie star Kate Hudson will take on only the third TV guest role of her career when she helps open the musical comedy’s new season with a six-episode arc. Later on, Sarah Jessica Parker will return to television for the first time since “Sex and the City” ended, when she also guest stars on “Glee.” Hudson last appeared on a TV series in 1997 when she appeared in an episode of “EZ Streets,” which was preceded by a guest role on “Party of Five” in 1996. It was in 2000 when her star power first got a major boost through her role as Penny Lane in “Almost Famous,” which won her a Golden

Globe. Her popularity grew with “How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days” (2003) and she even found success when she stepped out of her element for “The Skeleton Key” (2005). In 2009, she showed off her prowess as a singer through her role in “Nine.” Parker will likely always be remembered as Carrie Bradshaw of HBO’s “Sex and the City” and its two big-screen extensions -- a role that earned her several awards. Yet she’s had incredible staying power in the business, with a career that dates back to the late ‘70s on Broadway, and she has juggled a mix of film and television projects ever since.

Russian champ shaping up for Wimbledon By Joel Duplessis TV Media

t the ripe age of 25, Maria Sharapova has once again taken the tennis world by storm, jumping into the No. 1 world ranking for the second time in her young career. She’ll be looking to continue serving up aces later this week with Wimbledon kicking off on June 25, and with the London Olympics lurking around the corner. It will be somewhat of a homecoming for Sharapova at Wimbledon as it was the grass courts of the All England Club on which the Russian superstar won her first grand slam title in 2004. Now, eight years later, Sharapova enters the tournament as a heavy favorite in search of her fifth grand slam victory. Earlier this month, Sharapova swept through the clay courts of Roland Garros to capture her first French Open title, becoming just the sixth player in the Open era to win the career grand slam. Many doubted her ability to ever win on clay -- by far her least 9:00 p.m. (62) NBCSN Track & Field Olympic

favorite surface -- but Sharapova showed tremendous determination throughout the French Open and is excited for the challenges ahead this summer. She’s heating up at the right time with Wimbledon starting this week, followed by the London Olympics and the U.S. Open over the next two months. After moving from Siberia to Florida with her father at the age of seven, Sharapova enjoyed a quick rise to the top of the tennis world. In 2005, at the age of 18, she became the first Russian woman to reach No. 1 status. However, since then, she has struggled with a nagging shoulder injury which led to a slip in the rankings and subsequent surgery in 2009. She’s worked extremely hard over the past few years to regain the form that once carried her to the top of women’s tennis. Now, with a lack of any dominant players on the women’s tour, Sharapova has a great opportunity to again take over the sport and retain the No. 1 ranking for some time. (1:05)
