Blue Heron Marks twenty-two years of Festival success
7534 ROUTE 380, STOCKTON, NY
tWentY-nine artiStS Featured at 2013 Sherman eVent, JulY 5-7
By Katherine Coleman Star Contributing Writer
On a national scale, musical festivals have sprouted up copiously, being incredibly popular and proved very fulfi lling experiences for many. Usually located near or within thriving cities, there is one rarity in Chautauqua County that has succeeded so far for twenty-one years, and with this year’s festival, marking its twenty-second occurrence. The Great Blue Heron Music Festival will run from July 5-7, located on Festival Directors Julie and Steve Rockcastle’s 300 plus acres of natural Sherman beauty. The grounds are already humming and alive with the hardworking, spirited volunteers, who exceed 600 each year. With ever-growing popularity, there is a wide range of opportunities available. As twenty-six different crews work in unison to provide this volunteer community, an immense crafting of kinship is attained, along with a very dynamic and much-enjoyed turnout. The “Heron Experience” Kristine Majewski, long-standing member of the volunteer crew stated, “We all come on this land and participate towards a huge accomplishment, and when we come together we have a greater

respect for the festival, and the land itself.” There is a multitude of factors contributing to this fellowship. Not only do volunteers experience this but also the festival attracts a huge number of people who can appreciate the communal connection with everyone around them. Shannon Bessette, Anthropology Researcher/teacher and five-year
attendee of the festival finds it to be incredibly strong on a variety of levels. She explained how she has felt during each Heron, saying, “I feel like I can leave all my past worries behind. It’s a very communal, giving atmosphere that can be incredibly cathartic.” There is much to be said about the selfless contributions from professionals who will teach and entertain all weekend, bringing
true life to it all. Over one hundred musicians will perform. The Americana rock band Donna the Buffalo is back as an original and constant performer since the first festival in 1992. Twenty-eight other main artists/groups are set to perform, with a genre ranging from rock, reggae, folk, bluegrass, hip-hop and many others. continued on pg. 8

of challenges. Dwindling population, the result of a lack of good paying jobs and the fact that so many of our young people leave the area to seek their fortunes elsewhere presents a real challenge to our entire region. Add to that layers of tax burdens and regulations and there is a real recipe for stagnation. It is important to recognize the resources we have here, as well as realistically assess our weaknesses. While tourism is an important part of our strength, there is no single “magic bullet” but rather a combination of factors (and industries) that will be needed to bring the area back to its former vitality.
chautauqua institution starting season chautauQua openS itS 2013 SeaSon With an adVenture into Space Chautauqua Institution opens its 2013 season with a new approach to engagement on the grounds as Week One takes a large and inclusive topic—the universe—and delivers a week full of entertainment for the whole family. The nine-week morning lecture series begins Monday, June 24 with an exploration into the wonders of the cosmos, an understanding of space and time and the most basic questions of existence. Morning lectures will discuss “Our Elegant Universe,” while the afternoon Interfaith lectures will explore the spiritual story titled “Journey of the Universe.” Space-related events will also take place throughout the course of the week that the whole family can be a part of. Morning Amphitheater Lectures: Our Elegant Universe Columbia University theoretical physicist Brian Greene, author of The Hidden Reality: Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the Cosmos, kicks off the week and season with an introduction to superstring theory and how it shapes our understanding of the universe. On Tuesday, NASA AMES astrophysicist Natalie Batalha will share findings from the Kepler Mission, where she is mission scientist, and its importance to NASA, the scientific community and humankind. Jim Holt, a longtime contributor to The New Yorker, where he has written on string theory, time, infinity, numbers, humor, logic and truth, among other topics, will speak on Wednesday. Holt’s bestselling 2012 book Why Does the World Exist?: An Existential Detective Story was a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist for general nonfiction and was named one of the 10 best books of the year by The New York Times Book Review. Chautauqua favorite Kobie Boykins, an engineer with the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, returns to speak
on Thursday about the immediate and distant future of unmanned space exploration. Friday’s lecture features Jennifer Wiseman, director of the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s Dialogue on Science, Ethics and Religion and NASA’s senior project scientist for the Hubble Space Telescope. Wiseman will share the wonder and awe in space, the spiritual and existential questions it inspires and the relationship between science and faith. Afternoon Interfaith Lectures: Journey of the Universe Week One of the 2013 season features a roster of scholars, led by Yale University professor and historian of religions Mary Evelyn Tucker. Tucker will explore the themes of her Emmywinning documentary “Journey of the Universe.” The fi lm, which is based on her book with evolutionary philosopher Brian Thomas Swimme, draws together scientific discoveries in astronomy, geology and biology, with humanistic insights concerning the nature of the universe. On Tuesday, John Grim, who is also a lecturer and research scholar at Yale University, will speak about Native American responses to Journey of the Universe. The lectures will continue on Wednesday with Abrahamic responses from three religious scholars, Rabbi Lawrence Troster, Heather Eaton and Safei Eldin Hamed who will discuss Judaism, Christianity and Islam, respectively. Thursday afternoon will follow with responses from South Asian religions in Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism from David Haberman, Christopher Chapple and Christopher Ives.

WOMEN’S SECTION dig the purr of the engine as they roll down the road, the camaraderie of the group that they ride with or the excitement of an adventure. There are even the practical females that ride motorcycles simply because they are more economical to drive than a gas guzzling vehicle.
By Dodi Kingsfield Star Contributing Writer
The long blonde ponytail flapping in the wind against the leather covered back of a motorcyclist cruising down the highway no longer belongs to the stereotypical biker dude. As the biker parks their motorcycle and removes their helmet and jacket, the feminine figure of today’s modern biker still surprises many. Which is often the appeal that drives these women to ride, shock and awe. What else motivates women to cruise the highways on two wheels? Many ride motorcycles for pleasure. It’s their stress reliever, they can leave it all behind when they enter the realm of biking. They love the wind on their face and through their hair, the country air and scenery, or the city smells and fast life. Other ladies
or their children. There are also motorcycle groups that a rider can join for afternoon, overnight or week long trips with like minded riders. A riding group can be women only, a neighborhood group, affi liated with a common activity or club or even an ethnic or religious based group.

can’t touch the ground on a typical motorcycle for a six foot man. They need a lower seat height, or a low rider, like a shorter stature man would require. Wide seats make great cushions for the cushion, but they can also change the rider’s ability to reach the ground, making it necessary for an even lower seat. Touching the ground with one or both feet is based on the strength and confidence of the rider and the heaviness of the bike. Women’s arms are not as long as men either so comfortable handlebar length
and angle are necessary as well. Motorcycles come in all shapes, sizes, powers and speeds, so the best bet is to shop around until finding the perfect bike that fits the woman riding it. Completing a motorcycle safety course, investing in a good helmet and getting her license are all a woman needs to put the sexy power of a motorcycle between her legs. The stereotype of a biker chick no longer holds true as female doctors, lawyers, moms and grandmas take to the open road, decked out in leather and boots. Yet driv-
ers often expect a girl with a beer gut and tattoos or a man to be cruising along on an anniversary edition Harley instead of someone’s mother, sister or girlfriend. Then she takes off her helmet to a look of amazement by other male riders or passersby, which often makes her smile. It gives her strength, makes her feel powerful, even sexy, and boosts her confidence. She controls the road, creates her own destiny, and seeks out fun and adventure. She’s a woman on two wheels she’s a female biker. And she loves it.

Summer reSident oFFerS perFect miX oF humor and time teSted principleS in SpeecheS on FamilY ValueS By Daniel Meyer Star Contributing Writer
An internationally known psychologist and New York Times bestselling author who enjoys spending his summers on Chautauqua Lake is scheduled to give four speeches in the area later this month. Dr. Kevin Leman entertains audiences worldwide with his unique blend of humor with and commonsense psychology. A veteran contributor to various broadcast media outlets, he has made thousands of appearances on various radio and television programs, including “The Oprah Winfrey Show” and the morning talk shows on major networks like NBC, CBS and Fox News. While Leman truly loves what he does, he has a particular fondness for any type of speaking engagement that he presents in Chautauqua County and the surrounding area. “I am such a big fan of Chautauqua and everything about the region,” says Leman. “I grew up
poor in the Williamsville area of Western New York. We didn’t have a lot of money, but we were able to take vacations to Chautauqua Lake. I instantly fell in love with the place and started dreaming at a very young age of one day owning some property here. Things worked out and I was able to do that and really look forward to spending each summer relaxing and enjoying the sights and sounds of Chautauqua Lake.” Leman lives in Tucson, Arizona but spends the months of June, July and August in Chautauqua. He can’t say enough about how much he enjoys the region and is never afraid to tell others unfamiliar with the territory what an incredible place it is to live, even if he is here for only a few months each year. “I have always been a fisherman and love the great outdoors and there really is no other place in my opinion where you can so thoroughly enjoy fishing and being exposed to the natural beauty of our world than Chautauqua Lake,”
Dr. Kevin Leman
says Leman. “There’s no better place on this planet. I really mean that.” Despite his constant exposure on television and radio, Leman says it is his sister, Sally, a retired children’s pastor, who is the
more well-known family member in Chautauqua. “I’ve got nothing on Sally,” says Leman. “She taught more preschoolers than probably anyone who has ever worked in Chautauqua. She is an incredible
person. When she was working, she would drop to her knees to help any young child. The world needs more people like my sister. This would be a much better place if there were a few more like her working with our children.” Leman’s discussions cover various topics, including marriage, child rearing, family values and having the proper perspective on how important family and relationships are in your life. “I try to present a lesson in a way that my audience can easily comprehend it and immediately do a sort of self-reflection and figure out what they can do to improve the relationships in their lives, especially if they are married and if they are raising children. So many parents today... need some help and guidance and direction and I try to provide that.” Leman, who spoke this past week at Mission Meadows in Dewittville, will be a featured speaker during the following presentations: * Monday, June 24 from 7
p.m. to 8 p.m. - “Why You Are The Way You Are” at Chautauqua Institution’s Hall of Philosophy * Thursday, June 27 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. - “Understanding The Man Or Woman In Your Life” at Jamestown Community College’s Scharmann Theater * Friday, June 28 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. - “Making Sense Of The Man Or Woman In Your Life” at the University at Buffalo’s Center For The Arts * Sunday, June 30 from 10 to 11a.m. - “Abel Had It Coming” at Erie First Assembly Church in Erie, Pennsylvania “My speeches are fun,” says Leman. “They are supposed to be entertaining. I like to smile and laugh and I really enjoy making other people smile and laugh.” For more information on these upcoming events and other information about Leman, visit http://www. birthorderguy.com/ or search “Dr. Kevin Leman” on Facebook.
nominations sought for Jamestown’s Best gardens Contributed Article Jamestown Renaissance Corporation
Jamestown’s gardens are in full bloom, fi lling neighborhoods across the city with eye-catching colors. To acknowledge the value that these gardens and their caretakers add to the city, the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation ( JRC) is seeking nominations for the third year of the GROW Jamestown Front Garden Recognition Program. Through July 15, area
residents are encouraged to nominate front yard gardens in the City of Jamestown that contribute to neighborhood beauty, including their own garden, a neighbor’s garden, or any garden they deem worthy of recognition. Nominations can be made via e-mail to mary@ jamestownrenaissance.org, by calling 664-2477 x224, or by fi lling out a nomination form that can be found on JRC’s Facebook page. In late July, nominated gardens will receive a small garden sign for public
display. With permission, a picture will be taken and catalogued on the JRC’s Facebook page. “An attractive garden takes time and effort—but it adds tremendously to the appearance of homes and entire neighborhoods,” said Mary Maxwell, Neighborhood Project Associate at the JRC, noting that the program stems from recommendations in the city’s neighborhood revitalization plan. “It’s a signal that people care about their homes and neighborhoods, and it
chautauqua’s Bloom “locallY Sourced” reStaurant openS June 22 Contributed Article Chautauqua Institution
The Athenaeum Hotel at Chautauqua Institution is proud to announce the opening of Bloom restaurant as part of its culinary offerings during the 2013 summer season. Providing an experience in locally sourced dining, Bloom will be open to the public from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays beginning June 22 and continuing through Aug. 24. Executive Chef Ross Warhol approaches his menu with creativity and inspiration drawn from fresh ingredients procured locally and grown on-site. At Bloom, guests will be offered the choice of an à la carte or chef’s tasting menu. The menu will change slightly throughout the summer taking advantage of ingredients as they are harvested. “This past winter I was at Restaurant Frantzen in Stockholm, Sweden, whose philosophy I share,” said Warhol. “I went there
to immerse myself in the old-world techniques of not overcomplicating things and having your hands on as much as possible, from the seed, to growing, harvesting, bringing it in and producing it. “Bloom itself is a dedication to the farmer, to celebrate farms in Chautauqua County” he added. Bloom features locally grown products, such as Green Heron Growers grass-fed Red Devon beef, organic chicken, shiitake mushrooms and hen eggs. Freeman Homestead pork, Busti Cider Mill and Half Acres Farms vegetables, Lapps Dairy Farm yogurt, cheese curd and milk and Ribbon Road Farm organic garlic will also be featured. “It’s a real pleasure to have Chef Warhol as a part of our staff,” said Athenaeum General Manager Bruce Stanton. “He’s made it possible for us to explore new frontiers inside of the culinary arts, and his commitment mirrors Chautauqua’s dedication to lifelong
learning. “We are excited to include Bloom as a partner to our traditional menu offered within our main dining room,” added Stanton. “The Athenaeum Hotel continues to evolve as a dining destination within the total Chautauqua experience and as a summer dining destination for western New York.” Bloom is located at the historic Athenaeum Hotel on the grounds of the Chautauqua Institution, Route 394, Chautauqua, N.Y. Bloom is available by reservation each Frid Friday and Saturday throughout Chautauqua’s summer season. All dining guests will receive a complimentary gate pass and valet parking. A gate pass will have to be purchased if a guest plans on attending amphitheater entertainment. Call 800.821.1881 for more information or to make a reservation for this summer.

RELIGION SECTION Keeping the Faith
Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org
Dear Pastor, I just don’t feel like I’m happy. What’s wrong? Last week we began our answer by looking at the typical concept of happiness and its association with either the acquisition of “good things” or the deliverance from “bad things” in our lives. We saw how this association renders us vulnerable because it makes us dependant on the circumstances. The type of event (good or bad) dictates our level of happiness. In contrast we saw that God desires us to have joy and provides us with it as part of our inheritance.
This week we’ll look at the difference between joy and happiness. First and foremost, joy is not just an extension of happiness…it is something completely different. While happiness is an emotion that depends on external circumstances, the Biblical word “ joy” is defi ned as “a demonstration of our relationship with Jesus Christ.” It is a spiritual state of our closeness to God that can be expressed emotionally. Joy does not depend on the good or bad stuff that happens to us! If it did, God wouldn’t expect us to be joyful during the trials of life…but that is exactly
what He tells us is possible! In the much beloved 23rd Psalm, God promises that “…He prepares a table before us in the presence of our enemies.” He doesn’t say that we can feast now that all of our problems are gone. God desires us to “party” while the troubles are still going on! James 1:2 also declares that we can “count it all joy when we fall into various trials.” It’s important that when we read this scripture we recognize that God is not telling us that we should be joyful because of the trials of life (what’s there to shout about when bad stuff happens?), but despite them!
Another significant difference is that joy, coming from God, is perfect and complete by itself. Galatians 5:22 tells us that joy is one of the products of living in the presence of God and as a gift from God, joy is perfect, complete, and pure ( James 1:17). Happiness, as an emotion, while not a bad thing by itself, is not pure and can coexist with sin. A person can be happy that a rival failed…but this isn’t joy. Happiness could be a result of stealing money…but how could God give His joy over this event? Next week…generating joy!

ringing ears could be sign of serious Hearing problem StatePoint
In a world full of noise -from everything from city traffic and lawnmowers to hairdryers and earbuds on personal music devices
-- hearing problems are a growing issue. Chief among these problems is tinnitus, a medical condition affecting 50 million Americans. Tinnitus is the sensation of hearing sound when no ex-
ternal sound is present, and is most commonly caused by exposure to loud noises. Typically, those suffering describe it as “ringing ears,” though others describe it as hissing, buzzing, whistling or chirping. For some, it’s
a minor annoyance. For others, it can be debilitating, causing hearing loss, sleep disruption, changes in cognitive ability, anxiety and depression. With this in mind, Starkey
Hearing Technologies is helping educate about tinnitus and related hearing issues. If you’re concerned you may have tinnitus, consult a hearing professional to discuss treatment options. To learn more, visit
www.TinnitusHearing.com. These days, the good news is that new treatment options, such as innovative sound therapy solutions, can offer relief to soothe those ringing ears.

nual experience. Bessette mentioned, “I think one thing people don’t realize about the festival is that it’s incredibly family-friendly.” A large number of kids’ activities are offered, mainly at the kids’ tent, but also all around the campgrounds, with plenty of hiking/biking trails and supervised swimming. The festival has gone to great lengths to provide a safety network for these children, assuring each has a wristband with a phone number, 24/7 security teams stationed all around the festival and a lost child procedure for emergencies, coordinated by volunteer Annie Ostrander. Whether accompanied by friends or family, the festival is ripe and ready this year, having “evolved over several years of masterminding it,” as host/homeowner Steve Rockcastle
stated. Many personal accounts have provided a testimony to how life impacting the festival can be. Majewski shared, “I was always a little bit different. At the age of 23, I was still so tender I didn’t know how to be in my own skin. Coming here allowed a form of acceptance from all different kinds of people, and that gives you a sense of belonging.” With the end result so impacting, an event like this could almost be a necessary push for some people to broaden their horizons and shake up their comfort zone. In terms of a festival with a three-day window, that is a defi nite success. However, many are hesitant to go to the festival at all. Inevitably, the voluminous crowd attracts some negative energy from certain individuals. But,
that happens anywhere one goes, and it was noted that there might be misconceptions attached to the festival due to this. Bessette shared a supportive message- “I think a lot of people have preconceived notions and I would urge them to give it a try. The Heron can be whatever you want it to be.” And for many, it proves to be a truly jovial experience, fi lled with enthusiasm and fervor. The grand gathering will continue this year for another festival alive with spirit, music and nonstop energy. Direct contact with Heron management is available at (716) 761-7190.

to relive some of the Met’s best-loved productions from the past few seasons. They also provide a great way for people unfamiliar with opera to give the genre a try.” Richard Eyre’s hit production of Carmen was first broadcast live from the Met in January 2010. It stars Elina Garanca as the seductive gypsy of the title, opposite Roberto Alagna as the obsessed Don Jose. Carmen “is about sex, violence and racism - and its corollary: freedom,” the director says about the drama. “It is one of the inalienably great works of art. It’s sexy, in every sense. And I think it should be shocking.” Audience agreed; the production is the most attended Live at the Met HD broadcast in the company’s seven years of Live at the Met transmissions.

How to Help new High school grads transition into adulthood

Experts say that parents Transitioning from high and caregivers can play school to the next life stage a big role in ensuring the can be a time of excitement transition is a success. for young people, but it can “Whenever your child is also be a time fi lled with going through a major life uncertainty.

being,” says Dr. Thomas K. McInerny, President of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). With that in mind, the AAP is offering the following tips for parents and youth navigating this important time of life: • If your child is going to college, make sure he or she is familiar with the health and mental health support services on campus. • If your child has a mental health diagnosis, such as ADHD or depression, be sure to ask the college staff what kind of medical information they will need related to your child and how to set up prescription refi lls if needed. Talk to the
college about special housing and academic accommodations, if necessary. • Contact your child’s pediatrician, who can be a good source of advice. In addition to ensuring your graduate has had all the vaccines and other preventive health care recommended for this stage of life, your pediatrician can also help you prepare the way for your young adult’s continuing mental and emotional health. • Once your child is settled into his or her new routine, keep in close contact and try to get frequent readings about how he or she is doing academically and socially. While you can’t stand sentinel outside the dorm room, you can remain supportive from a distance.
• Is your child entering the workforce? Even if he or she is remaining at home for a time, life will still change dramatically. Be sure to give your son or daughter extra space as a young adult, but offer help navigating new responsibilities, such as paying bills and managing health care responsibilities. • Once a teen graduates and leaves home, alcohol, drugs and sexual activity may become much more accessible. Making poor choices can have lifechanging results. Continue to have conversations about peer pressure, good decisions and consequences. • As always, stay connected and be attuned to the warning signs of depression and other mental health issues. Look for “red flags,”
such as excessive sleeping, excessive moodiness, obsessive body-image concerns and personality shifts. • When it’s time to “graduate” to an adult doctor, your pediatrician can arrange for the transition to care by an adult health care provider. More health tips can be found at www.HealthyChildren.org. Parenthood doesn’t end when your child turns 18. By offering emotional support, you can make the transition from high school to the next life stage a smooth one.

Another strategy that I use for searching is to search by file type. Google indexes all types of files that it can locate on the web. You can search for Microsoft Word documents, presentations, and spreadsheets too. PDF files are usually generated by professional journal writers and can be an interesting source of information. If you want to find pdf files on Australian Shepherds I would search: “Australian Shepherds” filetype:pdf This will retrieve only pdf files that Google has indexed.

There are many more ways to unleash the power of Google, I hope these simple tips will help you to navigate the tremendous amount of information on the World-Wide-Web.
Nearly Two Dozen local Students Inducted Into National Technical Honor Society Contributed Article E2CCB
A total of 20 high school juniors and three high school seniors from school districts throughout Chautauqua County were recently inducted into the National Technology Honor Society, one of the highest distinctions possible for students enrolled in Career & Technical Education Programs at the Erie 2-ChautauquaCattaraugus BOCES Hewes Educational Center in Ashville. An additional 19 high school seniors have successfully completed the requirements of their respective CTE programs after being inducted into the NTHS during the 2011-12 school year. All 42 students were able to participate in the NTHS through their enrollment in two-year CTE programs offered at the Hewes Center.
“Induction into the National Technical Honor Society is one of the highest achievements possible for high school students enrolled in career and technical education programs. These students’ families and their home school districts should take pride in their achievement,” said Suzanne Dunlap, cosmetology instructor at the Hewes Center and NTHS advisor. The National Technical Honor Society recognizes outstanding student achievement among career and technical education students throughout the U.S. To qualify, candidates had to maintain a grade point average of at least 90 and demonstrate scholastic achievement in their career and technical education programs as well as leadership skills and a commitment to community service. They also had to have five or fewer absences during the school year.

Don’t worry about what you don’t understand. Most of your reading should be for pleasure. You can enjoy reading without understanding all of what you read. You may even understand some things in your own personal way. Recognize that the key is to read a lot. The main growth in your vocabulary and reading skill will come just from reading as much as you can. So learn to enjoy reading and read a lot. Keep reading, and you will become a better reader. If you are an avid reader, share your love of reading with others. Parents and guardians of school-aged children can help keep their child’s reading skills sharp this summer by encouraging them to participate in the New York State Library Summer Reading Program, sponsored in conjunction with the New York State Senate. Participants will use an online journal, which can be accessed by visiting www. young.nysenate.gov, to keep track of their reading progress throughout the summer. Children who submit a completed journal will receive a Summer Reading Certificate. Hardcopies of the journal and other materials can be provided upon special request. Summer is the perfect time to discover the joy of reading. Visit your local library, your favorite book store or borrow a book from a friend or family member. Find a comfortable spot and read. A freelance writer with over a decade of experience in journalism and public relations, Erica received her B.A., in English Literature from the State University of New York at Fredonia. She enjoys cooking, listening to music, reading, writing about life’s musings, swimming, traveling, and being a mother of two extraordinary children.

Columbus, OH offers a great family friendly vacation destination By Jennifer Pulver Contributing Writer
Satisfying the whole family with any vacation destination can be a hassle for even the most savvy vacation planning mom. One destination that is a surprising front runner for a great time with activities to engage all family members is Columbus, OH. Yes—I said Columbus, OH. Columbus was not a destination I would have readily thought of for a great experience but that was exactly what we found in our travels. We visited during the week to beat the crowds at many of the venues and I’d highly recommend doing so if your family can manage it. From the attractions we visited to our stay at the hotel I was surprised at the good time we had in a location not typically thought of as a “tourist” attraction! What’s Cool. COSI A top pick of my little (and not so little) travelers is the Center of Science and Industry aka… COSI. With “education” well disguised as fun our whole group experienced a terrific science fix at COSI. It’s a museum located at
333 W. Broad Street, just south of downtown. The kids were encouraged to get hands-on with a huge number of displays and exhibits. COSI features more than 300 interactive exhibits throughout themed exhibition areas – Ocean, Space, Gadgets, Life, Little Kidspace, Progress, the outdoor Big Science Park, and the newly opened Lily Pad, a watershed division of Ocean. If you are a fan of top rated attractions; in 2009, Parents Magazine named COSI the #1 Science Center for families in the country. My group would agree with this rating! The huge number of activities made it really difficult to pin-point only a few favorites to name for our review of COSI but we certainly found a few truly “stand-out” points that any family would enjoy. High Wire Unicycle: my kids really enjoyed this! This is an exhibit that puts safety first with many harnesses and supports but allowed each of the kids to have a “Look-MomNo-hands!” moment while suspended high over an open area on a unicycle. They were able to ride the unicycle across the exhibit
area with little difficultly. It rather took my breath away to see them suspended high in the air but the kids LOVED it! Another notable area is what the organization has named the “Little kidspace.” This area had multiple activities including a tree house, health clinic, ambulance, and helicopter that inspired imaginative play. There was also a HUGE water table area with water wheels, bells, ramps, and squirters. The kids can put on a raincoat and experiment with the properties of water through trial and error, learning by observation and interaction. Of course, they got pretty wet and I loved that COSI had on site dryers to get them back to our visit quickly. We were amazed by a COSI favorite that involves rats playing basketball. Three times a day visitors can cheer their favorite rat on to victory! COSI’s two resident superstars, a pair of Japanese Black Hooded rats, play a thrilling game of one-on-one in this live demonstration of operant conditioning. Catch the Youtube video at http://www.youtube. com/watch?v=_s0Cqs6Kq9w. How the team at COSI ever taught these little rodents how to play basketball is still somewhat of a mystery to me but when asked, the researcher informed me that it takes generally six to nine months to fully train the rats. They use a reward system to encourage the rats to repeat desired actions and over time the “game” is developed. Simply amazing! If you visit soon you can check out a temporary exhibit called MythBusters
The Mythbusters Exhibition at COSI
which is inspired by the popular Discovery Channel show and is really fun for kids (and adults). You can participate in “confirming” or “busting” questions like: Can you huff, puff and blow a house in? Does toast always tend to land butterside down? Does running in the rain get you less wet than walking through it? Can you really make a canoe out of duct tape? Once again, COSI displays all this brilliantly with handson demonstrations where participants actively seek out the answers to each myth. We spent an entire day at COSI and still didn’t have the time to take it all in. Hours of operation are Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday, 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. Family night is from 5 p.m. to 9 pm. on the last Friday of every month. At press time admission fees were $15-25 per person depending on when you visit. Additionally, COSI offers a membership program which is terrific if you plan to visit two days or more. The Columbus Zoo This world-famous 400acre zoo is among the city’s top attractions, featuring 600 wildlife species totaling around 7,000 animals housed in spacious natural habitats. Director Emeritus Jack Hanna brings the zoo’s most unusual inhabitants to millions of viewers through his numerous TV appearances. The zoo includes a waterpark, amusement park and golf resort to round out the attraction to offer “something” for
everyone in the family. The Columbus Zoo is very fortunate to have Jungle Jack Hanna as its Director Emeritus. Jack often makes appearances at the Zoo for special events, as well as, filming his two hit shows Jack Hanna’s Into The Wild and Jack Hanna’s Wild Countdown. Please visit www.jackhanna.com to view his schedule and plan your trip accordingly. In addition to pachyderms and a renowned lowland gorilla exhibit, the Columbus Zoo is one of just a few US zoos to house Queensland koalas, bonobos and manatees. The Polar Frontier exhibit is great for kids to view these amazing animals in a natural way. Other highlights of the excursion would be feeding the stingrays in Stringray Bay, where we were able to buy a souvenir cup and fill it all day long inexpensively, feeding the lorakeets, watching 4 adult bald eagles, and “dinosaur island”. As I mentioned the Columbus Zoo has expanded over the last several years and now owns and operates a water park called Zoombezi Bay that is connected to the Zoo. Note that your Zoo ticket/membership does not give you entry into Zoombezi Bay but the waterpark is a great addition to your ticket on really hot days! Free Things for Families With more than 300 free activities and events, Columbus offered great vacation attractions without breaking the bank. While
Indoor Water Parks are fun for the whole family.
some of the FREE activities are seasonal events, such as the Columbus Arts Festival or the Midwest’s largest Independence Day celebration, Red White & Boom!, many items on the long list of no-cost offerings are available to anyone, anytime. Just a few of these unique experiences include: Columbus Commons park offers free Wi-Fi, an outdoor reading room, free events, a hand-carved carousel and nine acres of lush urban green space. The Scioto Mile is a riverfront park, located in the heart of the city, is a green corridor that winds through downtown Columbus featuring lush green spaces, a charming promenade and mesmerizing water features along with plazas, paths and bikeways. Rhythm on the River features an eclectic series of touring artists, local musicians and arts. Movies on the Mile presents crowd pleasing box-office hits, along with cinematic classics and family favorites. On Wednesdays through the summer, kids can take part in water play and special interactive programs at FountainSide. Travelers can experience the art of candy making first hand at the Anthony Thomas Chocolate Factory. This 152,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art factory invites guests to observe eight lines producing 25,000 pounds of chocolates per shift. Free open house tours are offered Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 Continued on pg 13

Whatever the reason, the acquisition is said to have demonstrated Eastman’s transformation from a “primarily technological innovator into an organizational and financial innovator.” By founding General Aristo, of which Aristotype was part, Eastman is said to have conducted “a major refinancing and reorga-

The weather wasn’t perfect, but Cassadaga Country Club was able to have another very successful Father’s Day Golf Tournament on Sunday morning. The tournament had a full slate of golfers, with all of the course’s carts being used and even a few extra golfers choosing to walk. There was a little inclement weather about halfway through, but nothing to disrupt the good time had by all. There were fathers with their sons or daughters, grandfathers with their grandkids and even a few in-law pairings. A coffee, juice and danish breakfast in the clubhouse before the golf helped add to the family environment. The first-place winners were Barry and Brenton Wilcox with their score of 64. Also shooting a 64 but coming in second after a score card playoff was the team of Dick and Darren Mangine. Dennis and Tyler Lerow were third at 67 while Wayne and Rod Lind were right behind them at 68. The tournament was a 2-man (or woman, or child) scramble. Cassadaga Country Club is located at 55 Frisbee Road, Cassadaga NY. The restaurant and golf course are both open to the public. sEE MorE piCtUrEs oF tHE FatHEr’s DaY toUrnaMEnt on paGE 3

With nearly three decades of basketball experience, Phil has a proven record of success as both a player and a coach as well as a solid understanding of what it takes to win at the collegiate level." "I'm thrilled," Seymore said, "to be the new head men's basketball coach at Fredonia State. I feel blessed and privileged to have the opportunity to coach at this prestigious university.

Well again I regressed with the boom I decided to help it instead stick.

ing wedge to cross the creek. No such luck. My attempt to lay up came up about 75 yards shorter than I was hoping for, leaving me with a doozy of a second shot. Enter my best shot of the round. I used a 7-iron, hit it clean and straight as can be, cleared the creek by plenty, cleared the sand trap that sits at the front of the green and landed it about 10 feet from the pin. It wasn’t just my best shot of the day, it was one of my better shots ever. I came up just short on my birdie putt, but it’s a hole that I’m always happy to have a par on. Actually it’s probably my first-ever par on that hole. Not only did the driver not work on No. 4, but nothing worked. That’s not a hole I like to take a double-bogey on, but it happened. No. 5 was started with my best drive of the day. I killed it off the tee and just left it a little left. My chip was headed exactly where I wanted it to but didn’t quite make it all the way up the slope before the pin and rolled ever so slooooowly to the bottom of the green, making for a birdie putt that would make Tiger Woods cringe. It didn’t go so well. Bogey. More slow, backwards rolling got me on No. 6. It’s one of my favorite par 3’s I’ve ever played. There’s a nice little hill behind the green that sometimes will kick your ball back if you overhit it. With the tee boxes as far back as I’ve ever seen them, I went up a club and hit exactly the shot I wanted. Unfortunately the front of that
green is sloped pretty good and sure enough I watched from the tee box as my ball rolled ever so slowly off the front of the green. I also fi nally came to a realization on No. 7. There’s no point in trying to drive the pond. There’s nothing good that ever comes of it. Even when I’m having a good day with the driver it doesn’t turn out well. I’d rather just lay up with a 5-iron and hit a pitching wedge or 9-iron on my second shot. Being on the other side of the pond isn’t worth the 90 percent chance that I’ll slice it into the trees. I just can’t resist the challenge factor sometimes. Next time though, it’s laying up for me — even if the rest of my group calls me names. It’s slightly embarrassing, but I bogeyed No. 8 and I think that’s the best I’ve ever done on that hole. I’d like to think that it’s just in my head, but that green is legit. I basically hope to hole out from the rough because I can’t putt that green if my life depended on it. After all was said and done I shot a 45. Given the conditions and the strokes I wasted by slicing my drives to Timbuktu, it’s more than an acceptable score. It was also nice to be back in the 40s after I shot a 50 my last time out. It’s only five strokes, but it looks so much nicer to have that score start with a four. Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

Fredonia, Frewsburg rule CCaa all stars By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
The Fredonia Lady Hillbillies surprised some folk when they captured the CCAA Division 1 title. It was the team’s first softball title since 2009. Frewsburg, meanwhile, watched its softball team pitch, hit and run its way to a New York State Class C championship. It was the Lady Bears’ first-ever state softball title. Some of the key cogs from both teams were rewarded for their efforts when CCAA All-Star honors were announced. Fredonia earned a sweep of the top CCAA Division 1 honors.

CommentArY Continued from pg 1
Ladies and gentlemen, your 2013 Buffalo Bills draft class: E.J. Manuel, quarterback (1st round, 16th overall) — It’s entirely possible that Marrone’s tenure as head coach depends entirely on his first-ever selection Manuel. The selection threw everyone for a loop after the Bills traded down from No. 8 overall. Few people saw Manual as the first QB off the boards. But this kid has the size and talent to be a franchise quarterback. The more the NFL changes, the more important the quarterback position becomes. Manuel’s raw, no doubt, and he’ll make some bonehead mistakes, but there’s almost no comparison to him and the flurry of stop-gaps the Bills have had under center in the past two decades. Manuel will battle with Kevin Kolb for the starting job in training camp, but if he doesn’t win it, I fully expect to see him playing by Week 6 or so. # pitCherS B/t ht/wt d.o.B Age hometown lASt teAm ACQuried 18 BREEDLOVE, Lance R/R 6’ 1”/180 09/01/90 22 Long Beach, CA SC Spikes ‘12 Rd. 23, ’12 Draft Even if Kolb stays healthy (which seems farfetched), he 32 BREWER, Colten R/R 6’ 4”/200 10/29/92 20 Canton, TX GCL Pirates ‘12 Rd. 4, ’11 Draft 40 CARLE, Shane R/R 6’ 4”/185 08/30/91 21 Santa Cruz, CA Long Beach St. Rd. 10, ’13 Draft won’t be effective enough to warrant keeping Manuel on 28 DIAZ, Axel R/R 6’ 2”/170 03/14/91 22 Dominican Republic GCL Pirates ‘12 Int.

second-round pick in the St. Louis trade, they were able to get both Woods and Alonso. At 6-foot-4, 238 pounds, Alonso certainly fits the mold. He played mostly inside linebacker in college, but in new defensive coordinator Mike Pettine’s system, look for him to play outside as well. I hate to compare him to Brian Urlacher because of the obvious racial connection and the fact that Urlacher is a first-ballot Hall of Famers, but Urlacher had the same type of explosiveness that Alonso has shown. They both also have great instincts for the ball. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Alonso amassed a handful of interceptions as a rookie. Barring an injury, I fully expect him to be starting come Week 1. Hopefully he can help turn a linebacker position that was so weak for the Bills last season into a position of strength in 2013. The Bills also brought in Manny Lawson and Jerry Hughes and are very high on secondyear player Nigel Bradham, so it’s possible we’ll see some playmakers behind that solid D-line. Marquise Goodwin, wide receiver (3rd round, 78th overall) — I hope I’m wrong about this, but I’m already seeing Goodwin as a bust. He’s supposed to have world-class speed and be able to run right by any defensive back. If that were true, why wasn’t he a first-round pick? How many times have we seen speedsters just not be able to get it done at the pro level? At 5-foot-9, 177 pounds, Goodwin reminds me way too much of Roscoe Parrish. I think we all remember all the big plays Parrish made for the Bills…because there weren’t any. Also, isn’t he exactly the same player as T.J. Graham, who was drafted just last year? Maybe Goodwin is more than just a straight-line speed guy. Obviously the Bills’ talent evaluators saw something in this guy that warranted a third-round pick, but I just don’t see it. Texas receivers haven’t exactly thrived as pros in recent years either. Though even if he doesn’t catch many passes, maybe his speed will open up the middle of the field for Stevie and Woods. There’s certainly value in that, but for a third-round pick you want to see something more. Well that got long in a hurry. I was hoping to get through the fourth round in this week’s issue, but you’ll have to come back next week to see how I feel about guys like safety Duke Williams, kicker Dustin Hopkins and potential undrafted gems like Da’Rick Rogers. It’s the most boring stretch in the NFL calendar, but I’ll try to keep you entertained. Hey, it’s an exciting time to be a Bills fan. Stay tuned.

Biffle Holds On To Win Again At Michigan By Noah Trister AP Sports Writer
Greg Biffle gave Ford a milestone victory - right down the road from company headquarters. Biffle raced to his second straight Sprint Cup win at Michigan International Speedway, easily holding off Kevin Harvick after points leader Jimmie Johnson smacked the wall in the final laps Sunday. It was the 1,000th victory for Ford Motor Company across NASCAR's three national series - Cup, Nationwide and Truck. ''What a great moment this is,'' said Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing. ''We couldn't be prouder to have this moment come here today at Michigan in front of so many of our Ford friends. What a great race and a great day for Ford.'' It was Biffle's first win since he overtook Johnson to win at MIS in August. Johnson's engine faltered with six laps left in that race. This time, he was about a second behind Biffle with three laps to go - but a tire give way, and he dropped all the way to 28th. ''I don't want to see anybody wreck,'' Biffle said. ''It makes you feel good when you push the guy over the edge. He made a mistake, and that's what makes you feel good. You outsmarted him, or you beat him at his game.'' Harvick was second, 3 seconds behind Biffle. Martin Truex Jr. was next, followed by Kyle Busch and Tony Stewart. Johnson wasn't the only big
chances to reach the Chase for the Sprint Cup, moving from 10th to eighth in the standings. Biffle finished in the top 10 for the 13th time in 21 races at MIS, which is about 60 miles from Ford headquarters in Dearborn. Edwards finished eighth. Kurt Busch qualified second but went into an early spin and finished 35th. Johnson still has a comfortable lead in standings, although Edwards closed the gap at the top from 51 points to 31. Johnson had a chance at his fourth victory of the year before scraping the wall late. Johnson has still never won a Cup race at MIS. ''I thought this would be the year,'' he said. ''Most of the time we're leading and something happens, but I thought, 'OK, maybe coming from behind would be the difference.' But something happened.'' Johnson's late mishap in his No. 48 Chevrolet did not result in a caution, so Biffle maintained his comfortable lead over Harvick. ''I wasn't catching the 16 and didn't really feel it necessary to have a tire failure or an issue at that particular point,'' Harvick said. ''So our best bet at that point was the 48 catches the 16 and something happening as those two guys were racing. But we just maintained and managed our gap between us and (Truex) to just hold that track position and not have anything silly happen.'' Harvick moved up one spot to fourth in the standings. Earnhardt fell from fourth to seventh.
