Seats for Soldiers

Pops Sets the Stage for July 4th Celebration By Scott Wise Star Staﬀ Writer

This July 4, residents of Chautauqua County have an opportunity to spend Independence Day with the modern day servicemen and women who make our freedoms possible. The Bemus Bay Pops is presenting ‘ABBAMANIA’ as part of a Fourth of July show, and providing a special ‘Seats for Soldiers’ section. “This is the first year we have held an event like this,” said Bemus Bay Pops Development & Communications representative Michelle Turner. “It is providing a venue where families can gather, celebrate the holiday, watch the fireworks and enjoy a terrific show under the stars.” In order to show an appreciation to the Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans and current servicemen and women, the Bemus Bay Pops is offering limited free seating to these individuals. For information on seating, vets are encouraged to call Dan Dalpra at 397-9200 or Michelle Turner at 640-4055. “In keeping with the wishes of the John Alfred Johnson Foundation, we wish to celebrate our country,” said Turner. “We are offering a limited number of seats to our local OEF and OIF Veterans as a “Welcome Home”. The entire event begins at 8 p.m. with ABBAMANIA, a tribute concert to the disco pop band ‘Abba.’ After

lighthouse’s observation deck. Tickets for all three of the summer ghost hunts, being held in conjunction with VillageHaunts, are now available for purchase. The collaboration with VillageHaunts provides a unique fundraising opportunity that allows the volunteers who operate the facility to facilitate public investigations at a unique local venue that has historic significance that is believed to have paranormal activity. The June 30 ghost hunt, entitled “The

Haunting of the Annabelle Wilson,” is scheduled to take place on June 30 from 7 p.m. to midnight, with the $15 cost per person leading to 100 percent of the proceedings going to benefit the lighthouse. The other summer ghost hunts are “The Hunt for the Widow Cole” on July 21 and “Beyond Ghosts” on August 18. In addition, ghost hunts will also be held in September and October, with special Halloween Weekend ghost tours scheduled for October 26 and 27. Briska encourages those who have never visited the lighthouse or museum to take some time this summer to visit. “We have a unique presence right on the lake that needs to be experienced first-hand,” said Briska. “The view is something you really can’t describe until you see it for yourself.” For more information about the Dunkirk Lighthouse and Veterans Park Museum, including hours of operation, details on lighthouse tours and how you can purchase tickets for the ghost hunts, visit www. dunkirklighthouse.com or call 716366-5050.

Ball was also an accomplished business owner, becoming the first woman in television to be head of a production company, Desilu, which she formed with then-husband Desi Arnaz, later founding Lucille Ball Productions. “Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz were queen and king of comedy and the ‘I Love Lucy’ show is known across generations,” said Goodell. “But what is equally interesting is her skill and knowledge of the business sector. She was not only a star on screen but excelled off-screen helping to build one of the most successful television production companies in history. The Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Museum continues to host the Lucille Ball Festival of Comedy each year and the event shares our community with enthusiasts from around the globe.” Last year, Assemblyman Goodell and Senator Young joined together to rename the Interstate 86 span over Falconer-Kimball Stand Road/ County Route 138 after Roger Tory Peterson, America’s most decorated and well-known naturalist. “Senator Young and I continue to do all we can to promote the excellent cultural institutions of our community,” concluded Goodell.

RELIGION

The Weekly Word Get Back to Church!

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church of the Southern Tier

If ever there was a plague that has swept through people who believe in Jesus, it would be a plague of chronic frivolous church absence. I say this out of love for God’s people and not out of an attempt to grow my congregation: You will not make it through these days of trial coming upon the world without a Bible based house of worship. Maybe you’ve been offended by a church or have some excuse of why you can’t be there. I have heard so many people say, “It’s too difficult with the kids” or “That’s my day I get things caught up around the house” or “That’s my day off ” or some other

thing like that. If you have the strength to be there you should be there. So many people say, “I haven’t found a church I like.” Well that’s not the issue. The question you should be asking yourself is “Have I found a church that preaches the uncompromised Word of God?” You’re not a consumer looking for the best deals when shopping for a church. You are looking for a place of integrity and purpose that won’t shy away from challenging doctrine. If your heart is sincere about knowing God then He will direct you and you will know when you are in the right place. During a recent trip to Califor-

nia I visited a church. The pastor of the church was describing a story one of the church staff workers had told. This church staff worker was at the supermarket and bumped into a church member who hadn’t been seen in church for several weeks. When the staff member asked why the church member hadn’t been in church the person replied, “I’m mad at God and I’m mad at the church.” I absolutely loved the staff person’s response. She simply looked at the AWOL church member and said, “How’s that working out for you?” I love that! We need to ask ourselves that question. When you’re offended at the church over

some petty thing you need to ask yourself, “How’s this working for me?” When you can spend hours in restaurants, movie theatres, and shopping malls and never go to church you need to ask yourself, “How’s this working for me?” Jesus isn’t at the shopping mall. He isn’t gathering at the movies. He is gathering with those that gather in His name. His blessings are where He is. In Matthew 18:20 Jesus says, “For where two or three are gathered together in my Name there am I in the midst of them.” Jesus Christ meets with those who gather around his Name and with His truth. People are out on the golf

course or taking their kids to the latest soccer or cheerleading event when they should be in church. But when troubles rear their head and bring a trial of sickness to your family, what will you do? Will you lay the golf club on them and hope it heals them? Will the Sunday soccer tournament be there to teach you how to use your faith to see you out of troubles? 1 Timothy 3:15 says that the House of God is “The Pillar and Ground of the truth.” You need solutions, not more problems. The answers to your life are found in a solid Bible teaching church.

Keeping the Faith

Will God help me even though I made some really big mistakes?

By Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church of Chautauqua County

There is an old saying, “You’ve made your bed, now you’ll have to lie in it.” It is true that our bad choices can lead to hardships in our life (Proverbs 13:15) and that our mistakes can have significant consequences. This is why God wants us to make good choices so that our lives can be blessed and not burdened with results of past missteps. But what should happen when we do make a mistakes or a bad choice? Should we fall

into hopelessness and resign ourselves to bearing the guilt and consequences of these poor choices? Will God help us out of the ditch that we dig for ourselves? We can answer these questions with one wonderful word…mercy! The Bible says that God is a God of mercy whose mercy endures forever (Psalm 136). What is mercy? If we examine the concept of mercy, we see that basically, mercy is not getting what we deserve!

We read about the history of Israel in the Old Testament. Whenever God’s people cried out for mercy, they received it! Israel had a covenant with God that would bless them if they obeyed and open the door for calamity if they disobeyed. Psalm 107 gives a summation of hardships for the people of Israel due to their disobedience. Hunger, imprisonment, bitter labor, and illness came their way because of their disobedience to God’s com-

mands. Even though they deserved the bad consequences of their actions, they cried out to the Lord for mercy. What happened? Did God say “deal with it” or “you got what you deserve”? No! God is a loving God Who desires to bless His children. Again and again He delivered them from their self-imposed troubles. The Bible tells us that Israel is an example to us Christians (1 Corinthians 10:1-6). You may have made some mis-

takes, but God’s goodness and mercy are more than enough to get you out of any mess you may have gotten into! If you want to set your life right, go before God and repent of your mistake. And ask Him to help you be better. If He needs you to do any “undoing” of your mistake…do it quickly! God is a God of eternal and unlimited forgiveness and mercy. We can never exhaust His mercy if our heart is truly sorry!

will make everyone happy. Tip 2: Find group accommodations While getting separate hotel rooms can work for multigenerational travel, having a large suite or private residence where the entire group can reside provides a more unified travel experience. The key is to find a place that is comfortable for all and provides many of the conveniences of home, but still feels like a grand escape. An extra consideration: Look for accommodations with a full kitchen so your family can cook and eat meals together as desired. Starting the day with a full family breakfast or ending it with fresh baked cookies and milk can be a bonding experience in itself. Many resorts have accommo-

dations appropriate for groups, such as the Inn on Woodlake or The American Club Resort in Kohler, Wis. The resort recently opened a nearby private cabin, Sandhill, nestled on 350 acres in the wilderness near the western shores of Lake Michigan and approximately an hour north of Milwaukee. The cabin is close enough so groups can enjoy the amenities of the resort, yet far enough away to feel like a private retreat. This charming, yet rustic, private cabin sleeps six comfortably and has a full kitchen and an attached sauna and poker shack with fireplace. Tip 3: Research activities When you’re narrowing down where you’d like to take your multigenerational vacation, consider the activities that are available. You’ll want options

to entertain both young and old, so be sure to seek variety. Access local travel resources and online travel reviews to find destinations that are a good match for your group. You might even be able to schedule some activities in advance to reduce stress once you have arrived. Guests of the Sandhill cabin, for example, have access to renowned golf at Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run, home of the 2012 US Women’s Open. Both kids and adults enjoy top-notch golf lessons at Kohler Golf Academy. While group activities are plentiful, there are also many options for alone time too – while Dad and Grandpa hit the greens, Mom and Grandma can head to the Kohler Waters Spa and the kids can head to Kamp

Kohler, a four-hour camp full of fun activities including crafts and swimming. Tip 4: Adopt the multigenerational mindset Traveling with a group of different aged people brings with it a unique set of variables. It’s important to remain flexible and set a comfortable pace. There are always traveling snafus, such as uncooperative weather or the kids losing their luggage, but remember to relax and deal with any bumps in the road as they arise. Sometimes overcoming these obstacles can make for the best family memories because you must figure out solutions together and spontaneous activities are often the experiences that are most cherished.

Vascular Conditions Focus of Free HealthQuest Program Contributed Article Lake Erie Regional Health System of New York

HealthQuest is an initiative of Lake Erie Regional Health System of New York (LERHSNY) designed to provide health and wellness information, resources and support to the community. In June, HealthQuest is hosting a program featuring a vascular medicine update at 6 p.m. on June 27 at the Dunkirk Elk’s Club. Presented by G. Jay Bishop, MD, FACP, RPVI, free vascular screenings will also be offered to the first 50 people who pre-register. The hall is located at 428 Central Avenue. As always, this program is free and open to the public.

The program is sponsored by Brooks Memorial Hospital in Dunkirk, an affiliate of LERHSNY. The presentation, “Vascular Medicine Update,” will feature information on a variety of vascular conditions, including carotid artery disease, abdominal aortic aneurysm and peripheral arterial disease. Staff from Dr. Bishop’s office will provide the screenings following the educational portion of the program. To pre-register for the program, call 363-7233. The free screenings include carotid artery screening which uses Doppler color flow ultrasound technology to create images of the carotid arteries and measure the blood

flow through these vessels. Abdominal aortic aneurysm screening will also be provided, using ultrasound technology to measure the size of the abdominal aorta. In addition, participants will undergo ABI screening for peripheral arte-

rial disease (PAD), a measurement of the blood pressure in the lower legs compared to the blood pressure in the arms. The ABI screening helps evaluate the amount of blood flow to the legs and feet, which is decreased in a person with PAD. Dr. Bishop, Senior Partner of Medicor Associates of Chautauqua, also directs the Vascular Ultrasound Laboratory at the Hamot Medical Park/Medicor Diagnostic Center in Fredonia. He has been a member of the medical staff at Brooks Memorial Hospital since 1991 where he currently serves in several committee capacities. Dr. Bishop is also a current member of the LERHSNY Board of Trustees.

He is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and has also obtained Board Certification in Vascular Medicine from the American Board of Vascular Medicine. In addition, he has held the Registered Physician in Vascular interpretation (RPVI) credential from the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography since 2009 and is the only physician in Western New York to hold both of these vascular credentials. He holds numerous honors and awards including Best Doctors in America listing from 2001 to 2011 and has been a Fellow of the American College of Physicians since 1996.

I also felt down, not depressed, just not myself. guess you wouldn’t be all happy go lucky if you were tired all the time and your body hurt all over for, what I thought was no reason. It makes since now that sugar, regular sucrose, has everything to do with our mood. It’s a drug, just like alcohol or nicotine. If you have ever tried

to stop eating sugar, you will know what I’m talking about. The release of the hormone insulin via the pancreas occurs to lower the blood sugar when high sugar foods enter our bloodstream. When insulin enters blood to lower sugar levels, blood sugar levels usually drop too low resulting in what is known as the “crash”. This is why we feel tired after eating high sugar foods, after the initial sugar high wears off. Health experts claim that by eliminating sugar from the

diet; can help to double energy levels. Remember that certain foods, most processed foods are high in sugar too. The food companies try and hide the amount of sugar added by calling it dextrose, maltodextrin, and maltose just to name a few. For a video on how sugar affects our mood, the affects, and how to eat according to the raw foods diet, visit my website at www.chautauquafitness. com.

WOMEN’S SECTION Scrapbooking Today

Living on the beach is a privilege. The spectacular view of Lake Erie, the camaraderie of the neighbors in Sunset Bay and the casual atmosphere inherent with the sandy shores are the ingredients for a happy day-to-day existence. Except for my scrapbooking. In the summertime, I refer to our house as “Hotel Neaf.” Friends and family are a constant, welcome presence, but they have come to expect a certain level of comfort when they stay here. Guests get hungry, like clean sheets and towels, and having a bathroom stocked with toilet paper is non-negotiable. Making all of those things happen requires time and effort, and my scrapbooking suffers as a result. I’d much rather be making memories with people during our

short summer than scrapping, but I don’t want to get behind on my projects, either. Enter digital. When I have random pockets of time during the day, like waiting at the doctor’s office, I like to bring my laptop and digi-scrap rather than read a two-year-old copy of Good Housekeeping that sick people have spread their germs on. In an hour, I can make a page that won’t necessarily win any awards but is perfectly acceptable for my “Project : Annie” 2012 daily scrapbook. For this layout, I started with a template, but altered it in so many ways that it no longer resembles the original at all. Since it’s for an album about observing the small things in life, I included photos I would

never put on a 12 X 12 traditional paper one. I just can’t see a picture of the Windex bottle, soda can and pretzel bag on the patio table making a compelling story on its own. Combined with unrelated pictures taken over the course of a few days, however, it makes sense. I wanted to include the sunsets, but without making them the focal point photos on the page. Layering the others over it still allows the colors to show, but doesn’t overwhelm with a breathtaking landscape rather than the smaller, intimate stories about people. I made the photo of the two cousins watching the sunset from the back deck black and white to help the title (made with Impact Label Reversed and Eight Fifteen fonts, FREE,

dafont.com) stand out, as well as to keep the colors from the background photos from competing. I added a Sepia filter to the photo of my sister enjoying an Orangina soda to keep the orange of the soda and the bright green of her sweatshirt from overwhelming with color as well. The rest of the photos were fairly muted and I let them stand on their own. I wanted to limit embellishments because this layout will be printed small enough to fit in my hardcover altered book, and would not show up the same way as if I printed a full-sized layout. The layout was still missing the detail I was looking for, so I added the doodles from the Pea Mumbles and Jen Doodles fonts (FREE, kevinandamanda.com) It’s not something I would usually use,

but it was just fine for a quick page. Next, I added the background papers, layered them over one another and reduced the opacity of both to create a new, muted pattern (Sahlin Studio, FREE kit add-on from the dailydigi.com newsletter.) Finally, I added the journaling. It reads: “The atmosphere around here is relaxed and happy in late June. Family visits, refreshing beverages and the spectacular summer sunsets are the norm. So is a layer of sand covering every surface in the house. It’s not a problem!” Even though I’m not making a page every day with details and deep thoughts, a quick digital layout still captures the mood and keeps me on track

with my project. Instead of trying to create a masterpiece, I’m making something quickly that means something to me. It’s a laid-back approach to scrapbooking, perfect for the beach. This week’s pick: Tuscany Market, 450 East Main Street, Fredonia, 716-672-2222. Though I don’t eat the deli meat that they’re known for, I enjoy the gourmet specialty foods. The Burning Asphalt Jalapeno Ketchup is my new summer food obsession. Anne Walterich is the owner of Sunset Scrapbooks, a photo preservation and album design service.

32nd Annual Festival Features Award-Winning Artists and Craftsmen from Across the U.S. by Mallory Diefenbach Star Contributing Writer

Chautauqua Institution’s Bestor Plaza will once host its famous juried craft shows on July 6 through July 8 and Aug. 10 through Aug. 12. Founded by local craft artists, the craft show has been running for 32 years and features many exceptional artists. “We hire three jurors each year from all over the United States,” said Christina Rausa, the executive director of the Craft Alliance. “And with their computers they jury the show from their own offices, wherever they happen to be. The artists submit five images [of their various works] for the jurors to look at, and the jurors look for the quality of the work, the quality of images, in other words they expect very high quality photography. They

look for innovation in the work...and the creativity of the artist.” The jurors are chosen due to their many years of experience in craft art. This year, the jurors hail from Boston, Mass., Buffalo, N.Y. and North Carolina. The artisans themselves hail from all over as well. They are from Connecticut, Massachusetts, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington, Michigan, Florida, Tennessee and Canada to name a few. There will also be six local artists from right here in Chautauqua County. The Craft Alliance is a non-profit organization, which is dedicated to the development and promotion of the highest quality possible art. They are one of the most prestigious craft organiza-

tions. “We are very, very strict with our jury process,” said Rausa. “We choose jurors who truly understand the work. We also look for presentation. The jurors are looking for how the artists present their work, so we are very strict in our guidelines of all our

According to Rausa, the Crafts Alliance was founded in 1982 by a group of studio crafts artists in Chautauqua County with the goal of developing opportunities for Alliance members to show and sell their work. Today the summer shows held in July are nationally recognized as two of the finest juried craft shows in the country. Potters, jewelers, fiber artists, glass blowers, woodworkers and other craft media artists from all over the United artists must be present with their States compete for a slot. work at the show: to talk with the public, share with the public, To find out more about the artists and see some of their work, visit create a relationship with the www.craftsalliance.com. public.

their first ever appearance at the park. And on Wednesday, August 29, the ever-popular Frankfurter’s German Show Band will close out the season at the Gazebo. The Frankfurters have played throughout Western New York, Southern Ontario, Pennsylvania, and conducted a two-day tour of Southern Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Lichtenstein a few years ago. Angola’s Centennial Park is located one block in back of the Angola Post Office and is located near High, Center and Park Streets. The park is marked by a large blue and white banner, which extends a “Welcome to the Village of Angola.” The rain location for the entire summer concert series will continue to be the nearby New Angola Theater located at 72 North Main Street. There is free admission to the grounds of Chautauqua Institution on Sundays.

“Now we have a six-page menu,” Annette exclaims. Annette spent about twenty years in social work before beginning The Mustard Seed restaurant. She has rendered that career experience into the mission of the restaurant. “We contribute about ten percent of our earnings back into the community for social service,” she states. The Mustard Seed donates their proceeds toward several area needs. The restaurant owners provide aid to those in need in the manner

of heating bills, college student assistance, and general care for others. Those notions bring to mind the shade of the mustard tree. At Christmas time there is a tree in the dinning room. “And there’s always plenty of gifts under it for others,” Annette says. When they are able, the restaurant owners help special kids attend a Christian summer camp. The Mustard Seed purchases from local vendors. “We know

all our vendors on a first name basis,” says Krissy Sercu, one of the three woman owners. “We buy from farmer’s markets in the area,” she adds. The restaurant also tries to buy and serve “as many organic products as possible,” Krissy said after she seated two diners and handed them a menu. The customers could have selected seating outdoors on the side patio, but chose the dinning room inside. They have taken a table on a Thursday mid-afternoon which is one of ten; the other six tables are occupied. The woman orders the “Cowabunga Ciabatta”, a roast beef, green pepper sandwich served on homemade bread. The man orders the “Texacano Burger”; a hamburger made of grass-fed, hormone-free beef. The burger is hand-packed and is generous. It is served on a sunflower seed bun and it takes two hands to hold it. Two fresh tomatoes like large, red sand dollars garnish the center of a green bed of dark leaf lettuce. French-fries, crisp

and not oily mound at the side. The Mustard Seed also provides for many specialty menu requests. The restaurant has gluten-free pizza dough. “We are also looking into dairy-free dinner rolls,” says Annette. “We make several of our own breads from organic flours, and we make our own desserts from the best ingredients available.” On the way out of The Mustard Seed there are several photographs of “The Hoot and Holler Hatter’s Club”. In the picture are a dozen women gathered outside on the front porch of the restaurant wearing large, bright-red hats. They smile and give thumbs up -the international hand sign for an enjoyable time well spent. The Mustard Seed is located at 315 Pine Street in South Dayton, NY. They are open Thursday through Sunday from 11 a.m. until 8 p.m. Information and reservations for The Mustard Seed can be made at 716-388-3800, or at themustardseedrestaurant.com. The Mustard Seed has catering services as well as eat-in specialty menus.

Fredonia Opera House

The 1891 Fredonia Opera House will screen Mozart’s classic opera Don Giovanni as part of its Live at the Met Summer Encore Series on Thur., June 28, at 6:30 p.m. “We’re very excited to be presenting encore broadcasts of six of the Metropolitan Opera’s classic Live in HD transmissions,” says Opera House Executive Director Rick Davis. “These six summer operas offer a great way for opera buffs to relive some of the Met’s best-loved productions from the past few seasons. They also provide a great way for people who don’t know how they feel about opera to give the genre a try.” In Don Giovanni, the Met’s Principal Conductor, Fabio Luisi, conducts Mozart’s tale of lust, heartbreak, and revenge, with Mariusz Kwiecien in his first Met performances of the iconic title role. Tony Awardwinning director Michael Grandage made his Met debut with this production that stars an international cast of acclaimed Mozart singers including: Marina Rebeka as Donna Anna, Mojca Erdmann as the innocent peasant girl Zerlina, Barbara Frittoli as the fiery Donna Elvira, Ramón Vargas as Don Ottavio, Luca Pisaroni as Giovanni’s manservant Leporello, Joshua Bloom as

County “Goes Green”: Implements Battery Recycling in its Oﬃce Buildings

Library Offers Parent Class in Child Safety Online

Contributed Article Office of Chautauqua County Executive Director Greg Edward

Chautauqua County Executive Greg Edwards announced that Chautauqua County Government is taking one more step to go green as County Office Buildings will now have recycling containers for rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries available to its employees. “Our buildings already offer recycling for soda cans and bottles, paper, and ink cartridges and this new recycling initiative is just one more way we can help the environment,” said Edwards. Each year about three billion batteries are sold in the United States and each year the average person throws out about eight household batteries. Batteries contain heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, and nickel and when batteries are improperly disposed of they can contaminate the environment. Batteries may produce potential problems or hazards such as polluting the lakes and steams as the metal vaporizes into the air when burned, contribute to heavy metals that potentially may leach from solid waste landfills, expose the environment and water to lead and acid, contain strong corrosive acids, and may cause burns or danger to eyes and skin. “By 1997 certain mercurycontaining batteries were phased out of use to protect the environment and by properly disposing of batteries we can continue to reduce heavy metals in our landfills,” said Department of Public Facilities Director George Spanos. “Although rechargeable batter-

ies can only be recycled by our County departments, residents can also do their part to help our environment by properly disposing of batteries,” said Edwards. “Our Department of Public Facilities Division of Solid Waste has been working hard to provide recycling opportunities for our residents and it is important that residents are aware of where they can go to properly dispose of batteries.” Non-rechargeable household batteries can be recycled, free of charge, at the electronic waste areas at the County’s three transfer stations. Batteries for vehicles, tractors, boats, or lawn mowers are not accepted at any of the County’s Transfer Stations and instead must be recycled at retail stores where they are sold. Rechargeable Nickel Cadmium (NiCad), camera, cell phone and power tool batteries are also not accepted at the transfer stations. These items can be

recycled at Walmart’s electronic department and area Radio Shack stores. Residents can also call 1-800-8-BATTERY to find other rechargeable battery drop-off locations. The Chautauqua County Transfer Stations are open to residents at the following days and times: South County Transfer Station 2570 South Work Street Falconer, NY 14733 Open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. North County Transfer Station 3688 Webster Road Fredonia is open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. West County Transfer Station at 121 Osborn Street Sherman is open Tuesday and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information please visit www.co.chautauqua. ny.us/departments/dpf/landfill or call (716) 985-4785.

The Jamestown Family YMCA Urges Kids Stay on Track This Season Contributed Article Jamestown Family YMCA

Summer has finally arrived and the Jamestown YMCA and it’s summer camp staff joined the National Summer Learning Association in challenging New Yorkers to commit to staying academically sharp. As part of this initiative, the Y – along with hundreds of thousands of parents and kids nationwide – is taking on summer by addressing critical gaps in health and education that cause kids to be at risk for childhood obesity and suffer summer learning loss. Many students lose more than two months of learning over the summer. Summer learning loss has the potential to be an enormous obstacle for kids when the school year begins next fall. That is why the Y is working together with families to discover fun ways to avoid summer learning loss. Not every family has access to high quality summer programs; however, a few simple changes can help keep kids engaged in learning. “If kids aren’t learning over the summer, they fall behind academically,” says Ronda Piazza, YMCA Child Care Executive. “Quality summer learning programs help kids get ahead while they explore new talents and stay healthy.” That’s why, as a leading nonprofit strengthening communi-

ty through youth development, the Jamestown Area Family YMCAs are working to boost summer learning across our community. The Y is taking a leading role in bridging the summer learning gap and its impact on the overall education of our kids. It all begins with Summer Learning Day, an annual event organized by the National Summer Learning Association. The Y participated in Summer Learning Day during a staff training event that focused on preparing staff to help instill in our kids a love of year round learning. As part of Summer Learning Day, The National Summer Learning Association encourages parents to make summer a SUCCESS for kids: Set goals and issue a challenge Understand your child’s interests Communicate with teachers and caregivers Create intentional learning experiences Engage kids with creative, lowcost activities Sustain routine and structure Set limits and communicate expectations Resident Camp Onyahsa Director, Jon O’Brian, who is also a local educator, states “Summer is an ideal time to retain learning and to develop academic skills, social competence, and physical well-being.”

The Onyahsa summer-long theme is “A New World,” as each session takes a fun look to pre-history and world history. The upcoming “Ancient Adventures” week, for example will look to civilizations like Ancient Egypt, and will feature a treasure hunt. In addition to having fun, campers will also learn about the culture of this kingdom. Campers have the option of reading during their day, which also includes nature instruction (Science), sailing (Physics), skits and songs (Arts), and many other fun and educational activities. Sports, the Challenge Course, Boating, Swimming, Crafts, hikes, and other activities round out the day. The resident camp also focuses on building social skills among youth under the supervision of caring camp counselors. “Onyahsa was established in 1898, and today it still focuses on promoting excellence in youth development and quality friendships within an active outdoors environment,” said O’Brian. Summer Learning Day was sponsored by the National Summer Learning Association and is generously supported by the Wal-Mart Foundation. Summer Learning Day has grown from a handful of events in 2004 to about 500 in 49 states in 2010. At the Y, we hope to engage more New Yorkers in Summer Learning Day Activities in the future.

The Art Loft

Mayville Gallery Features Growing Number of Artists By Patricia Pihl Editor

Since opening The Art Loft five years ago, Bonnie and Warren Beyer have brought together an eclectic mix of fine art, glass, sculpture, watercolors, fiber art and now the iridescent beauty of raku to their gallery. Coupled with the loft’s spatial features – including cathedral ceilings and original wooden beams preserved from the building’s previous incarnation as a limber mill- the Art Loft has become the perfect venue for a growing number of artists to showcase their work. Just minutes from Chautauqua Institution, the gallery now boasts the talents of 110 artists, including 14 featured new this year. As Bonnie speaks about them individually and collectively, it is with a sense of passion, purpose and commitment to make known their creative genius. “When people walk in here, they’re so excited because it is like discovering a whole world of talented people. These are all American artists…they are all working very hard at what they love to do,” states Bonnie. “This is an opportunity and a venue for them to show off their abilities.” A generous portion of local talent is displayed at the Art Loft, but visitors will also find artists from across the state and country. Because the Beyers split their time between Chautauqua County and a winter home in Arizona, the unmistakable influence of the Southwest is also seen in the gallery. Peter Valanti Among artists new to the gallery this year is Syracuse native and art teacher Peter Valanti who has been creating raku tiles- a type of glazed earthenware- for over 25 years. Valanti is known for incorporating many of nature’s textures onto raku tiles, portraying leaves and dragonflies and pressing plants into the clay, giving his work a fossil-like quality. Valanti has recently begun a new series at the Art Loft he calls “relief tiles,” which are three dimensional, geometric and contemporary. Bonnie explains, “It’s the raku process that makes his pieces so beautiful and iridescent.” Jenny Pope Another new artist, Jenny Pope is known for her large, colorreduction woodcut prints, often featuring compelling combinations of species with odd or interesting elements from their natural histories. She is currently showing her work to several zoo museums for inclusion in their venues, says Bonnie. Robert Harris Among the favorite artists featured at the Art Loft is Robert Harris, who worked as a furniture carver for the Jamestown Furniture Company from 1970-1993 and “always enjoyed the process of welding steel and creating unique sculptures most of his life.” Bonnie says Harris has won numerous first and second place awards in gallery shows since 1960, including the Hemmingway Gallery in Jamestown, The Bestor Plaza Arts Festival, Patterson Library in Westfield and the Susquehanna River Art Show. “His work incorporates his own very special welding technique that gives his subjects a very

Chamber Launches New Website

Featuring a series of improvements for members, the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce has a new website up and running.

Inside the Art Loft is an eclectic mix of art forms. (Art Loft photo)

The new site provides enhanced search capabilities for Chamber members, including a mobile application available to smart-phone users and embedded links to Google Maps. The new online Business Directory also allows users to search by business name, keyword, or listing category. In addition, the new website allows members to make online payments for events at the time of registration and for membership dues – something the Chamber was not able to provide in the past. The website, which is directly linked to the Chamber’s membership database, allows for more efficient tracking of referrals to businesses. Very soon, each Chamber member will receive an email which will include a log-in and password so that they can access and make changes to their own member information online. Chamber President and CEO

Todd Tranum said, “This new website will provide a great deal of value add for all of our members. We are very excited to roll this out, not just for the new online capacity we can offer, but also because the site provides a great deal of ease in navigation and a new, cleaner look that we feel reflects a positive image for our entire county.” Key navigation sections in the new site are: Live, Work & Play; Member Benefits, the Business Directory; About the Chamber; News & Events; and Community Chambers. The Live, Work & Play section provides easy access to local housing and healthcare information as well as attractions, tourism information, and economic development information. Member Benefits speaks directly to members and potential members who are interested in all the Chamber has to offer including marketing opportunities, health insur-

ance and employee benefits, networking, public policy and advocacy, and the Shoptauqua Gift Check program. The About the Chamber section includes important contact information, a Board of Directors list, and the Chamber mission and initiatives. Events and News offers a complete events calendar as well as the monthly online VOICE newsletter page. The Community Chambers section provides a landing page for each of the six community chambers in Chautauqua County. “The potential in the new website is enormous,” Tranum said. “As we continue to develop each of these sections, this site will provide vital information and updates for Chamber members, area visitors, and others who are simply seeking businesses or information in and about Chautauqua County.”

Summer Long Photo Contest Underway Peter Valanti’s raku tiles have an iridescent quality and feature elements from nature. (Art Loft photo)

With seven photos posted already, the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce online photo contest is off to a tremendous start. The contest uses cutting edge social media technology which was developed in Dunkirk through Chamber member TexTivia, which is housed in the SUNY Fredonia Technology Incubator. The contest is taking place on the Chamber’s Facebook page at www.facebook. com/ChautauquaChamber. Photographs must have been

taken in Chautauqua County to be eligible. Once a photo is uploaded to the site, the photographer can encourage friends to like the Chamber page and vote for their picture. The winners will be chosen by a guest panel from the top ten vote getters. The contest will continue through Labor Day, and winners will be announced in October. All prizes will be awarded in Shoptauqua Gift Checks as follows: $350 for first place, $200 for second place, and $100 for third place. The Chamber is partnering

with TexTivia as a way to leverage social media to drive more traffic to members and to help increase their sales. At the same time, the contest helps to highlight local talented photographers. TexTivia also provides online sweepstakes and coupon services. Their products are available to all businesses in Chautauqua County, and are offered to Chamber members at a discounted price. Additional rules are available on the Chamber’s Facebook page.

unique and distinctive characteristic.” In addition, Bonnie says his pieces portray a range of many emotions and relationships of everyday life. Michael Crouse Michael Crouse is one of the newest artists from the Seneca Nation whose work includes creations of hand crafted and hand carved walking sticks, some inlaid with turquoise. Alice Seeley A native of New Mexico of Anglo, Hispanic and Native American descent is Alice Seeley. She is a painter, sculptor, writer, graphic artist and jewelry designer. Her work is currently being sold in over 300 galleries throughout the country. “We are so pleased to welcome her to The Art Loft this season as her jewelry offers

the viewer an incredible array of native design and bold graphic appeal.” Describing the Art Loft’s unique collection of art and wares, clothing and jewelry, Bonnie adds “It’s very hard to find things made in America and hand-made. It’s a different world. So these (works) become even better treasures.” The Art Loft is located at 4994 West Lake Road (Route 394) in Mayville ½ mile north of Chautauqua Institution. It is open Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. For off-hour appointments, call 716-753LOFT(5638).

Q&A

Resistant ‘bugs’ trouble pets, too Q: My dog keeps getting hot spots. Do dogs get MRSA? — via email A: Dogs almost never have symptoms from MRSA (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus), but they have their own resistant form of staph: MRSI (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus intermedius), also known as MRSP (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus pseudintermedius). And unfortunately, it can cause as many problems for them as MRSA does for us. Your first step is to have your veterinarian culture the hot spots and determine if there are resistant organisms present. If so, you should ask for a referral to a veterinary dermatologist if possible; resistant skin infections are very tough to treat, and veterinary dermatologists are the ones with the most experience in treating them. Your veterinarian may also be able to treat your dog in consultation with the specialist. While oral antibiotics are usually given, some research suggests that topical treatment might be more effective. Ask the dermatologist about bathing the dog every day with 4 percent chlorhexidine shampoo or other topical therapies to use with, or instead of, oral medication. If your dog has other conditions that cause skin problems, such as allergies or hypothyroidism, these should also be addressed by your veterinarian. — Dr. Marty Becker with Christie Keith Do you have a pet question?

SAFE ON THE FOURTH OF JULY

Medications, special shirts may calm anxious pets when fireworks start

By Dr. Marty Becker and Gina Spadafori Universal Uclick

f there’s one holiday that’s not popular at U.S. shelters and veterinary emergency hospitals, it’s probably the Fourth of July. That’s because the fireworks and other celebrations of this midsummer bash trigger pet care tragedies — a flow of lost pets, sick pets and injured pets. Loud noises startle and distress many pets, with their supersensitive hearing. Scared pets have been known to jump out of apartment windows, leap over or dig under fences, or chew their skin until it’s raw. They may also bolt out an open door to become lost and never found, or hit by a car. Even the ones who just tremble in terror may be safe, but they’re miserable. Even calm pets may seize the opportunity offered by a holiday buffet to eat something they should not. While most of the danger is on the actual holiday, the noise and parties can continue for days, especially when the Fourth falls midweek, as it does this year. The best defense against Fourth of July problems is a good offense While people love the flash and bang of fireworks, many started weeks or months before pets find the Fourth of July to be stressful. summer.

Fee-Waived Adoptions on All Pets Three Years or Older Through The End of June At CCHS

Jerky treat reports concern veterinarians • Reports of pet illness from Chinese-made chicken jerky continue to surface, and many veterinarians are telling clients to avoid the treats, which remain on store shelves. The Veterinary Information Network News Service (news.vin.com) reports that despite six years of complaints and concerns, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has been unable to identify a contaminant. The agency has received more than 1,300 complaints. An online petition to ban jerky from China has drawn 14,000 names, but the companies insist the products are safe and have not recalled them.

Landlords would not be allowed to require tenants to declaw their cats under a California proposal. • California is getting closer to denying property owners the right to insist that cats be declawed or dogs be debarked as a condition of rental for pet-friendly housing. The state’s veterinary and property-owner trade groups support the measure, as do most animalwelfare groups. A similar proposal was vetoed by the previous governor. A similar proposal was vetoed in 2010 by the previous governor. • More than 800 shelter and rescue organizations participated in Just One Day on June 11. They pledged to not kill any adoptable animals on that day and instead participated in enhanced adoption efforts. Part of the growing no-kill movement, the national program raised awareness while getting pets into new homes. More information about future events is at JustOneDay.ws, as well as a list of participating organizations. — Gina Spadafori

With an extra emphasis on youth participation, Tri-Dunkirk is returning to Wright Park for a second year, this time on Sunday, Aug. 26. Registration began in April and while the early period is over, the regular registration period runs until July 26 with late registration available until the day before the race. New to this year’s event is the F1 Intermediate race, a “double-dip” of a normal triathlon — swimming, running and cycling. The F1 Intermediate race is twice the length of an Olympic triathlon. Tri-Dunkirk offers participants a variety of routes of competing in a multisport event, including a duathlon (which consists of just the run and bike) and the aquabike (swim and run). There is also three different length triathlons

at this year’s event. It took years of careful planning for Paul Gavin and the race management group Score-This to bring the event to Dunkirk. Score-This runs more than 80 events each year across the state and into Pennsylvania, but until last year, Chautauqua County was largely ignored. But that all changed in October 2009 when Gavin, who has participated in events all over the country for 20 years, decided to try to bring the event to Dunkirk. “I always thought a triathlon would be a great fit in Dunkirk,” Gavin said. “And when I moved back to the area, I talked to someone from Score-This and after bringing them down to the area, it was a done deal.” But, as Gavin admitted, planning a triathlon takes times, and plenty of it. Between the insurance and simple logistics of routes, the process took

nearly two years to finally be fulfilled. It came to fruition last year on Aug. 27 and brought 310 participants to the area, a good number for a firstyear race Gavin said. “Most races have anywhere between 600 to 1,000 participants,” he said. “We hope to get our event to that number in the future, but for this year, we’re hoping for about 500. It takes time.” Most of the 310 participants last year were actually from out of the area and stretched throughout the entire country. One from Seattle, Wash. A few from California. Some from Toronto and others from as far south as Virginia. In fact, only about 75-80 people were local. “We pulled a lot of people from the greater Buffalo area and into Rochester,” Gavin said.

Gomez Finds Familiar Surroundings in Jamestown By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

It’s been one hectic, up-and-down month for Jammers second baseman Anthony Gomez. His junior season at Vanderbilt came to a disappointing end in the NCAA Regionals on June 4. With the Commodores in the winners bracket, Vandy needed to beat N.C. State one out of two to advance to the Super Regionals. But a pair of losses by a combined three runs ended the ‘Dores’ season seemingly early. But, he was drafted the following day in the sixth round by the Miami Marlins with the 197th overall pick. Stay for his senior year or pursue a childhood dream? He sat on it for a few days. “It’s tough you know,” Gomez said referring to his decision. “You don’t want to get off to a bad start your team by not signing, but it was a crazy turnaround from losing in regionals to getting drafted. My season had just ended, I wanted to enjoy some time with my friends.” Who could blame a 21-year-old college student for that? But with Short Season minor league seasons less than two weeks from starting, Gomez was short on time. “It was obviously exciting to get drafted,” he said. “But I wanted to give it a day or two. Just relax and weigh the options. But, Miami was a good fit and getting drafted in the sixth round was a big compliment. Both of my parents agreed and I signed.” And exactly two weeks after his season with Vanderbilt had ended, Gomez was batting second as the

starting designated hitter on Opening Day for the Jamestown Jammers. He had two hits, a double and drove in a run in his first professional game. But Gomez, like virtually all other rookies, didn’t know what to expect when starting pro baseball. Luckily for him, as Gomez said, he was joined on the Jammers 2012 roster with a pair of rookie hitters from the Southeastern Conference (SEC) who had just finished up their final college seasons as well. All three were embarking on their first season of pro ball in a bit of a rush. All three just played everyday in the best conference in college baseball

and all three were now members of the Jamestown Jammers and the Miami Marlins. That was Austin Nola from LSU and Cameron Flynn from Kentucky. Nola’s season had actually just ended on June 10 against Stony Brook. Had they won, he wouldn’t have been in Jamestown yet. Flynn’s Kentucky Wildcats season ended where Gomez’s did, in the NCAA regionals, although just one day before Vanderbilt’s. And while Gomez said none of the three were best friends prior to signing, the three quickly became acquainted with each other and flew into Buffalo late Friday night, just three days before Opening Day. “It’s huge to play with those two guys,” Gomez said. “[Austin] Nola’s a four-year guy at LSU and is one of the great baseball minds I’ve ever met. I just try to pick up anything I can from him. [Cameron] Flynn’s one of the best hitter in the SEC last year. We’re all just feeling things out together, but it’s great to have two guys you’re so familiar with… guys that have the same background as you.” And familiarity is always an issue at this level. For most of these players, it’s their first year of pro ball. In fact, it is for 10 of the 30 players on Jamestown’s roster (nine from college and one was injured for first two years). In addition, more than half of the other 20 players have little experience at the GCL (rookie) level. Very few guys on this roster are used to the everyday grind. But while that’s been the toughest adjustment for Gomez, it certainly isn’t something he’ll complain about. “It’s fun playing baseball everyday,” he said. “Not worrying about school and to be out with the guys Continued on pg 5

DUNKIRK TRIATHLON continued from pg 1 This year, Gavin again expects dozens of people from across the country to visit Dunkirk that weekend. But, introducing an event like this to the county is his primary goal. He says he knows how great of a running and biking community Chautauqua is, and getting those people into the triathlon is an important step for Tri-Dunkirk to really take off. “I know if we can get them to do one race, they’ll be hooked,” Gavin said. “It’s a new challenge and I’m certain they would like it if they give it a chance. But we really just want to get people down here to see it.” Part of the problem is the cost. As Gavin said, these events cost so much more than a 5K run, which tends to be the reason for lower turnouts. “The cost of the event naturally costs more because of all the events and the insurance that comes with it,” he said. But, certainly this is not just a typical 5K run. The F1 intermediate race is 1.5K swim, 40K bike, 10K run, followed by another 750-meter swim, 40K bike and 10K run — basically double the distance of an Olympic triathlon. But, that’s not the only event going on. There are numerous events for all ages and ability levels including a new

emphasis on this race for younger athletes. Gavin has reached out to the Dunkirk school system and said he hopes it helps with turnout. “There aren’t many kids races across the country,” Gavin said. “And this is one of them.” Most importantly, there will be talent scouts from the USA Triathlon Talent ID Series, which goes around the country looking for young talent to bring into their national pool. “They’ll look for kids that they think have the ability to become an Olympic athlete,” Gavin said. “They’ll give

them the proper training. It’s a great opportunity.” The main target age Gavin is looking to bring in ages 5-15, which will be separated into different groups for the race. The event takes place Aug. 26 with the F1 race starting at 7:30 a.m. There are three separate award ceremonies to take place in the afternoon as well. Part of the event this year, though, is to raise awareness locally. Gavin credited Score This in the mapping out of the race, complying with convenience factors for the community. “We want to make it so there

is minimum obstruction to the community,” he said. “As a cyclist or runner, you don’t want to be near cars anyhow.” Registration prices — along with more information including schedules, maps, etc. — can be found at TriDunkirk.com. As briefly mentioned earlier, the registration process is broken down into four periods. Early registration ended April 26. Regular registration runs from April 27-July 26. Late registration from July 27-Aug.25. The final period is the day of the race, Aug. 26. All prices increase, as it gets closer to the day of the event.

Ironmen Opponents Stolarz and Hellebuyck Selected in NHL Entry Draft Contributed Article NAHL

PITTSBURGH, Pa. — It was an exciting and memorable Day 2 for the North American Hockey League (NAHL) at the 2012 National Hockey League (NHL) Entry Draft held at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Pa. For the first time in three years, a player(s) from the North American Hockey League (NAHL) were selected in the annual draft. On Saturday, it turned out to be two players, Corpus Christi IceRays goaltender Anthony Stolarz and Odessa Jackalopes goaltender Connor Hellebuyck. Three NAHL alumni were also selected in the draft. As the first picks in the morning opened, the anticipation built for Stolarz and his family who were all camped out and eagerly awaiting about 12 rows up in the lower bowl of the Consol Center. About 100 feet away on the floor of the arena sat the table of the Philadelphia Flyers, who in Round 2 (45th overall) decided to select Stolarz with their pick. When his name was called, he stood up, hugged his dad, then his mom and finally his four brothers and headed to the floor to put on the Philadelphia Flyers jersey and hat for the first time. “Getting drafted truly was a dream come true for me. All those hours going to the rink, all those shots I faced, all those extra hours I put in… it all seemed completely worth it when I heard my name called,” said Stolarz to NAHL. com. “I had a lot of butterflies going in my stomach, but as soon as I heard the words ‘from the Corpus Christi

IceRays…’ they all went away. It was special to share this day with my mom, my dad, my four brothers and IceRays General Manager Pat Dunn.” Stolarz selection in the 2nd round (45th overall) was the highest an NAHL player (non-US National Team member) has gone in the draft since 2001, when then Chicago Freeze goaltender Jason Bacashihua was selected in the 1st round (26th overall) by the Dallas Stars. The highest ever NHL Draft pick that played in the NAHL the season leading up the draft was the US National Team’s Eric Johnson, who went No. 1 overall in 2006 when the US National Team still played in the NAHL. Stolarz, who committed to NCAA Division I University of Nebraska-Omaha earlier this season, said that despite growing up in New Jersey as a Devils fan, he is now 100 percent happy to be a Flyers draft pick and fan. “They have such a great tradition in Philadelphia with the Flyers and I feel very honored to have been selected by them. It is one of the closest locations to my hometown, so hopefully one day I will be wearing the Flyers inform and playing in the NHL, but today was a big step,” said Stolarz. Corpus Christi General Manager and Governor Pat Dunn, who was on hand in Pittsburgh to see Stolarz get drafted, said that it is a special day for he and the rest of the IceRays organization. “What we witnessed today makes it all worthwhile,” said Dunn. “Anthony’s story is such a great one and it is a great day for him, his family,

the IceRays organization and the NAHL. It reaffirms that we as a league are doing the right thing for these players to develop them and give them an opportunity like Anthony enjoyed today.” “My hope is that more players from the NAHL get the looks and the opportunities I did, because there is a lot of talent in the league,” said Stolarz. “I played against a lot of good players this past season and the league is continuing to get better, so I am proud to have played in the NAHL and to have been one of the representatives for the league at the NHL Draft.” The other current NAHL name called in the NHL Draft was that of Odessa Jackalopes goaltender Connor Hellebuyck. Although Hellebuyck didn’t get the pre-draft coverage that Stolarz did, there was plenty of reason to think that he was going to get selected. Then, in the 5th round of the draft, the Winnipeg Jets selected Hellebuyck No. 130 overall. Hellebuyck, who didn’t attend the draft remarked, “I was literally speechless when it happened, because I was texting with one of my teammates and watching the draft on TV. They went to commercial and during that time I got a text that congratulated me on being a Jet. They came back from commercial and there was my name on the screen.” said Hellebuyck on Saturday. “It’s surreal…I’ve had a milewide smile on my face since the pick, it’s still on and I can’t get it off.” Hellebuyck, who received serious interest from, by his estimation, seven to ten NHL teams leading

up to the draft, says he had a feeling Winnipeg would end up topping his list of suitors. “A did a lot of interviews with teams, but the Jets really upped their interest in the past few days,” said Hellebuyck, “I had a pretty good inkling it’d be them.” A Commerce, Michigan native, Hellebuyck was dominant in the South Division in his lone NAHL campaign, leading the league in appearances (53), minutes played (3,084) and total saves (1695) in 2011-12 and, according to Hellebuyck, it’s that heavy workload that allowed him to blossom as a person and a player. “Playing all those games in one year is exactly what I needed,” said Hellebuyck, “The Jackalopes really gave me a chance…they set me up for success and with the amazing coaching and the support and work of the professional staff…thanks to them, I really couldn’t fail.” Hellebuyck was coming off his first season in the NAHL in which he won both the NAHL Goaltender and Rookie of the Year awards, as he led the Jackalopes to a playoff berth in the South Division. During the season, he also committed to play NCAA Division I hockey for the University of Massachusetts-Lowell. Odessa General Manager Joe Clark stated… “We are very proud of Connor because he worked extremely hard this season and is very passionate about playing the position of goaltender. It is a big and exciting day for the Jackalopes organization, the South Division and the NAHL. It makes being a part of junior hockey worthwhile. Our fans in Odessa should feel very proud.”

Heat Claim Title, But Future Not So Bright

Let’s face it folks, LeBron James was going to win a championship sooner or later. He is, without question, the best basketball player on the ar- planet. He showed it emphatically on biggest stage — finally o — as his Heat defeated the As Oklahoma City Thunder is n’t rather surprisingly easy fashw.” ion last week in five games. g Just don’t expect the hate to go away anytime soon. Analyst after analyst chimed in once the series ended commenting how “its time to embrace LeBer, ron” and how many of his critics would now “be silenced.” i- But they’re both wrong. It’s ed been time to embrace LeBron on since he landed in the NBA . nearly a decade ago. In my eyes, I’ve never not embraced d is LeBron. How couldn’t you? 6. But, silenced? No, no, no. s nt. The Heat have won, well, one title. Not two, not three, not four, etc. They have one. Nobody is going to forget that ridiculous, entitled “press” conference two summers ago anytime soon. And while d a many are already claiming nd they can win multiple chamrs. pionships in a row, stop and think how stupid that claim ally is. Any idea what the Chicago Bulls or, heck, even the Cleveland Cavaliers are going to d look like in 2014-15? Please, that’s ridiculous. a- The fact is I’m not sure the - Heat can win another title. And before anybody goes n, saying how great of a team ar- this was, it really wasn’t. They finished with the fourth best 95) record in the league — nothing special. They needed six games vy to get by the Indiana Pacers — including trailing 2-1 — and seven against a Boston Celtics who simply put, didn’t look y like anything special in their buy- postseason run. gave Sure, they bounced the Thunup der easily. Something I said maz-they wouldn’t do. But the time ort was for the Heat. Not the young al Thunder.

7 .9

Anyhow, can LeBron and this team win another one? The simple answer for himself is yes. At 27, he has at least another five years worth of dominating this league. And if history has taught us anything, it’s that the best player is always capable of winning a championship in this league, almost regardless of his surrounding talent. But the Heat? Did you know Dwyane Wade turns 31 during the season next year? He missed multiple games this year and played a career low 33.2 minutes per game. At times during these playoffs, he looked rather similar to the broken down Tracy McGrady. At others, he was his usual great self. But considering his slashing nature, how much time is left on his watch? The fantastic trio of role players — that practically won the series considering Miami has no bench — of Shane Battier, Udonis Haslem and Mike Miller are all over 30. Haslem’s the youngest. He turned 32 earlier this month. Combined, they have over 30 years of experience in the NBA. Sure, Bosh is 28, but even he had injury problems last year, and lets face it, he isn’t that dominating top 15 or 20 player in the league like most people thought he was. But if you think the Heat can win another championship with a 6-man rotation, no center, and the same squad a year older, you’re nuts. And in case you forgot, the Heat don’t have any salary cap space, high draft picks or tradable commodities (outside of the big 3). Joel Anthony is locked up for two more years with a player option for the third. Same for Miller and Haslem. Battier has two more years at $3 million. The Heat will clear no more than $6 million off their salary cap this offseason and have the 30th pick. How are they going to add anything of note? The best news, though, is the Eastern Conference is really bad. Chicago might be without Derrick Rose next year and only God knows what is going on in Orlando. Fringe teams like Philadelphia and Indiana seem too flawed to take the next step. (See Atlanta Hawks, circa 2008). Boston might re-tool and build around Rajon Rondo and while they could be better than most think, they’d still have some key issues. The Knicks? Don’t make me laugh. Moral of the story, I think Miami can be the team to beat in the East for at least one more season, but add two years to all those ages I mentioned earlier and suddenly that team makes this year’s Boston squad look like the Thunder — OK, I’m embellishing a little. Another date with Oklahoma City seems imminent already for next season. That’s too far away and who knows what the teams will look like or how they’ll be playing. But, you have to like OKC to win a title at some point with the way that roster is constructed. As for Miami? No, probably not five, not six and certainly not seven. Two, maybe?

ing from Ironmen players and coaches. Being taught by veteran hockey players gives them the experience and skill they will need to continue in the sport. The Ironmen coaching staff aims to use this opportunity to aid in the de-

velopment of the Jamestown area youth hockey. There is a full schedule of camps being offered at the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena this summer.

Bona Great Stef Collins To Represent Great Britain At Olympics Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

LEICESTERSHIRE, ENGLAND — Former St. Bonaventure women's basketball star Stef Collins will participate in the 2012 Olympic Games in London as a member of Great Britain's women's basketball team as announced Friday morning by Tom Maher, GB's senior women's head coach. Collins, a 2006 graduate of St. Bonaventure, scored 1,421 points in her career which now ranks ninth all-time in program history. She also sits third alltime in 3-pointers made with 288, behind only Suzie Dailer (291) and Jessica Jenkins (338). "Stef is certainly a great player, but we're also very proud of the person she is and the way she carries herself," St. Bonaventure head coach Jim Crowley said. "It's going to be a great experience for her and we know she will represent St. Bonaventure well." Collins is tied for third in the women's basketball record

book with three, 30-point games. Her 36 points against Stony Brook in 2003 is still tied for third-most in a single game in program history. Collins's eight 3-pointers in a single game, which she accomplished on two separate occasions, was a program record until Jenkins topped it with nine 3-pointers on two occasions last year. Collins was named the 200102 Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year after leading all A-10 firstyear players with 11.1 points per game. In her junior season she was named to the A-10 Third Team All-Conference and All-Academic Team. She followed that up with an A-10 Honorable Mention selection in her senior campaign. Her professional career has been based entirely in the UK, playing for two Welsh clubs in the English Basketball League. She first played with the Rhondda Rebels during the 2006-07 season and has since been with the UWIC Archers. Collins is one of just three remaining players from the first

Great Britain women's basketball team that took the court in 2006. She has made 75 appearances with the national team which ranks first among any GB player (male or female). She scored an international careerhigh 25 points against Ukraine in 2007. This will be the first time that Great Britain has been represented in women's basketball at the Olympics. Collins may not be the lone former St. Bonaventure basketball player participating for Great Britain in this summer's Olympic Games. 2011 graduate Ogo Adegboye is one of 16 players on a roster which will be trimmed to 12 prior to the

Olympics beginning. The 2012 Olympic Games begin on Friday, July 27, with Great Britain scheduled to play its first preliminary game against Australia the following day, Saturday, July 28. Complete information on the Games can be found on the official website here. To keep up with both Collins' and Adegboye's Olympic journeys, check out the Great Britain Basketball website here. More information on both players will be posted on GoBonnies.com leading up to the beginning of the Olympics and throughout its conclusion.

Heat Celebrate Title in the Streets of Miami By Tim Reynolds Associated Press

MIAMI (AP) — The NBA championship trophy was center stage, bathed in white light and sitting on a pedestal. And each Miami Heat player offered it a different greeting. Mike Miller bowed. Udonis Haslem kissed it three times. Chris Bosh hugged it, and LeBron James strolled past before waving at the crowd. Dwyane Wade did something different.

400,000 people filled the streets of Miami for the Heat championship parade, and then 15,000 more got into the arena afterward for a long, loud reception for the NBA's new kings. ''It's the best feeling I've ever had. ... This was my dream, right here, to be able to hoist that Larry O'Brien Trophy up, hug it, grab it, never want to let it go,'' James said. During the parade, players and coaches were on doubledecker buses with friends and family, most of them taking photos and video of the

before the arena went dark briefly - and the trophy was sneaked onto the stage. For nearly 90 minutes afterward, the Heat relived so many aspects of the season, from Haslem's flagrant foul against Indiana's Tyler Hansbrough in the Eastern Conference semifinals (''the greatest flagrant foul in team history,'' Heat broadcaster Eric Reid told the crowd) to countless highlights from the NBA Finals against Oklahoma City, the Heat left few stones unturned. Juwan Howard — the first member of Michigan's Fab Five to win an NBA title — did the Cabbage Patch dance, as teammates broke into absolute hysterics, waving their arms in time with him. Mario Chalmers was asked about why Wade and James yell at him so much on the court, as a montage of some of their more fiery moments played on the giant video screens. And the Miami natives, Haslem and James Jones, got perhaps the loudest ovations of anyone outside of the finals MVP. ''Feels great, man,'' said Haslem, who along with Wade

crowd. Other Heat staff were on flatbed trucks, as confetti fell and horns blared every step of the way. Wade cradled the championship trophy in his arms for much of the ride. ''I appreciate all our fans for sticking with us,'' said the now two-time NBA champion Wade, adding, ''Best fans in the world.'' And then the party moved inside, with a similar setup to the event that welcomed James and Bosh to Miami to play alongside Wade in July 2010. Music blared for nearly an hour as fans danced for joy, Continued on pg 10

Byrd Suspended for 50 Games After Positive Drug Test

signment by Boston on June 9 and released four days later. ''I am mortified by my carelessness and I apologize to everyone who loves this game as I do,'' Byrd said. ''I will serve my suspension, continue to work hard and hope that I am given an opportunity to help a Club win later this season.'' In 2009, Byrd said he was using supplements provided by SNAC System, a company founded by Victor Conte, who also was the founder of the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative. BALCO was at the center of a wide-ranging scandal involving performance-enhancing

drugs that enveloped several top-level athletes, including Marion Jones, Tim Montgomery and Barry Bonds. Conte pleaded guilty to steroid distribution in July 2005 and served four months in jail. Byrd said the supplements were all OK to use under MLB rules. He had never before been suspended for failing an PED test. ''Any nutritional supplements I ever provided to Marlon Byrd were legal products that contained no banned substances,'' Conte wrote on Twitter. ''I provided Marlon Byrd with nutritional and training advice which had nothing

whatsoever to do with any type of prohibited substances.'' In an email to The Associated Press, Conte said he still supports Byrd. ''Marlon Byrd is a terrific person and did not use a drug to cheat,'' Conte said in his email. ''Look at his numbers this season, the worst of his career. Traded and then cut. I was not aware of his medical condition. Marlon is my friend and I will always have his back.” Byrd hit .210 in 47 games with the two teams, though he hit .270 with a homer and seven RBIs in 34 games with Boston. The Red Sox picked him up when they had a shortage in the outfield after a rash of injuries. ''He played here and he played well,'' Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said. ''I had no indication or I don't think anyone did.'' The 34-year-old Byrd has played for five teams in 11 major league seasons and is a career .278 hitter. Byrd finished fourth in the National League Rookie of the Year voting in 2003 with the Phillies and was a National League All-Star with the Cubs in 2010.

5-Time Champ Venus Williams Falls at Wimbledon on Day 1

departed meekly Monday with a 6-1, 6-3 defeat against 79th-ranked Elena Vesnina of Russia. Only once before — as a teenager making her Wimbledon debut in 1997 — had Williams exited so early at the All England Club. She hadn't lost in the first round at any Grand Slam tournament in 6 1/2 years. Still, Williams said she'll be at the London Olympics next month and is ''planning'' to be back at Wimbledon next year.

''I feel like I'm a great player,'' Williams said, sounding a tad like someone trying to convince herself. She repeated that affirmation as she continued: ''I am a great player. Unfortunately, I had to deal with circumstances that people don't normally have to deal with in this sport. But I can't be discouraged by that. ... There's no way I'm just going to sit down and give up just because I have a hard time the first five or six freakin'

tournaments back.'' Later, as part of a slightly testy and awkward exchange with reporters, Williams said: ''I'm tough, let me tell you. Tough as nails.'' Her loss, in her first match since a second-round ouster at the French Open, was part of an odd Day 1, even if the true tournament favorites in action won easily: Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova. Among those sent home were sixth-seeded Tomas Berdych, the 2010 runner-up at Wimbledon; 11th-seeded John Isner; No. 16 Flavia Pennetta; and No. 18 Jelena Jankovic, who was rather easily beaten 6-2, 6-4 by Kim Clijsters, a four-time major champion who has been beset by injuries in her last season on tour and, like Williams, is unseeded. Other seeded losers: No. 23 Andreas Seppi, No. 24 Marcel Granollers and No. 27 Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia, who was upset by 100th-ranked Continued on pg 10

make a roster move to activate him and there’s quite the logjam in the infield. Mendoza did hit .252 in 31 games for Jamestown last year and did OK at Greensboro. Yeison Hernandez (2B/SS) — Another middle infielder, Hernandez seems to be the third option up the middle. He’s started games at both second and short, and also got a DH spot. Still just 19 years old, Hernandez has already spent time at Jupiter this year and he’s doing alright down here at Jamestown batting .286. Have to imagine he’ll play every three or four days out of five. Austin Nola (SS/3B) — Nola, a fifth round pick this year, can do a little bit of everything on the infield but has been relegated to the left side so far. He’s started all five games but is off to a slow start, batting just .111 (3-for-27). Has walked six times, though. He’ll be fine. Matt Juengel (3B) — He’s another rookie doing pretty good through six games with six starts. He’s batting .304, but probably has more power than he’s showing. The optimal lineup probably has him

Although it’s still early, Gomez is batting .308 with four RBI in six games (through June 25). He’s been a key cog to the lineup and has done exceptionally well in clutch situations. He’s hitting .667 (4-for-6) with runners in scoring position. “You don’t want to worry about your average at this point,” Gomez said. “Right now, it’s about making sure

you have quality at bats. I want to get used to the pitching and get used to playing second base.” Gomez played shortstop and hit .353 in 63 games for Vandy. Remarkably, he had 57 RBI this year while only grabbing 15 extra-base hits. He’s proven to be a solid clutch hitter with plenty of speed to use at the top of the lineup. But, already off of a long college season, time will tell if Gomez and his rookie teammates can handle the task of playing for another two-plus months. “The game’s still 60 feet, six inches,” Gomez quipped. “I’m still getting used to the grind and used to the bus rides — getting ready to move from town to town in a hurry. You’re on your own much more than in college.”

at third everyday. OUTFIELDERS Kentrell Dewitt (LF) — Dewitt, just 21, spent a majority of 2011 with Jamestown but struggled, hitting just .200. He’s started well, 4-for-7 with three doubles, but then missed three games for really unknown reasons. Since then, he’s 0-for-12. Something to keep an eye on. Jesus Solorzano (OF) — He’s been the utility man out there, going from right to center to left in his first three games. But he looks like a player. He’s hitting .250 and has two of Jamestown’s three homeruns. Striking out a lot, though. Juancito Martinez (CF) — Played most games in center and appears to have the job locked down for the time being. He’s been terrific so far, 9-for-26 (.346) with three stolen bases. Cameron Flynn (RF) — The rookie 23rd round pick out of Kentucky has had a rough go at it so far in his first week of pro ball. He’s 3-for-21 with a couple of walks and two RBI. He was at the top of the lineup early, which shows you what they think of his potential.

McClure back after May crash

His cup runneth over

Clint Bowyer celebrates his Sunday victory in the Sprint Cup Series Toyota/Save Mart 350 in Sonoma, Calif. (NASCAR photo)

Risky move to Waltrip pays off for Bowyer with Sonoma win

lint Bowyer took a big career chance in moving from Richard Childress Racing and its record of success to Michael Waltrip Racing, which had just two Sprint Cup wins when he joined the team. But on Sunday, on the road course at Sonoma, Calif., Bowyer dominated the Toyota/Save Mart 350 while his teammate Brian Vickers finished fourth. It was his sixth career Cup victory and his first on a road course. “To switch teams like I did was a huge risk and a chance for me, and it was obviously a chance for me to showcase my talents,” Bowyer said. For team owner Michael Waltrip, the victory at Sonoma was especially sweet. “This place just reminds me how mightily Michael Waltrip Racing struggled when we started back in 2007,” he said in the winner’s interview. “We came here and put Terry Labonte in my car just so we could be sure of making the race [through Labonte’s champions provisional]. We talked to Robby Gordon about driving for us, and that was just five short years ago that we were here and wondering what our future was like and how we were going to survive. “We probably appreciate this more than

anybody ever could, because we know how close we were to just not being around any more, just six months out of our start.” Waltrip went on to say that when Bowyer joined his team he soon pointed out that the team’s race cars were no match for its marketing and PR prowess. “[Bowyer] said, ‘Y’all do a good job off the track, but could you give me some cars I could win with?’” Waltrip said, “I said, ‘Yeah, we’ll do just that.’ I’m really proud to sit here and say that Clint drove one of our cars to victory lane.” The race also was a rewarding one for Kurt Busch. Just two weeks after he was suspended for cursing a reporter, Busch challenged Bowyer for the win in his unsponsored No. 51 Chevrolet and wound up third despite laterace problems with his car’s rear suspension. “Just to have him come to victory lane spoke volumes about his character,” Bowyer said. “He’s a champion of the sport. You can’t lose sight of that. I know there’s been a lot of negative around him, but he had a lot of positives today for Kurt Busch. “He had an extremely good run. They didn’t have a sponsor on the car, but for him to be competing for a win in that equipment that has never done that; that boy can drive.”

Patrick strong at Road America, Piquet wins race Just when it looked like Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s popular win at Michigan in the Sprint Cup Series might kick Danica Mania to the curb, the lady racer responded with a spirited run in last week’s Nationwide Series race at Road America. Patrick ran in the top five for the majority of the race, and even raced her way into the lead at one point. But her 12th-place finish didn’t truly reflect her overall performance. On the last lap, she was poised to finish in the top five, but was knocked off the course by Jacques Villeneuve. “The bummer is we weren’t able to finish that off and finish with a top-five like I felt we deserved,” Patrick told reporters after the race. “The guys did a great job in the pits. They were awesome … People sort of say I don’t get good results, but today I ran well, and I feel like lately we’ve been running much better, but we just haven’t sort of finished the deal.” Fourteen races into her first fulltime Nationwide season, Patrick is 10th in the standings with one top-

Goodyear schedules July tire test After having tire issues on the newly repaved Michigan International Speedway, Goodyear has set a tire test for July 30 to check out the tires the company plans to use in the track’s next Cup race on Aug. 19. Goodyear representatives told reporters from the NASCAR News Service that they expect 15 to 20 drivers to be a part of the test.

NASCAR makes car adjustments

Danica Patrick (NASCAR photo) 10 finish, an eighth-place run at Texas Motor Speedway. The win in the Road America event went to former Formula One driver Nelson Piquet Jr., who drove a Turner Motorsports Chevrolet to victory. Piquet is a regular competitor in the Camping World Truck Series, and last Saturday’s victory was his first in a major NASCAR event. “I have been dreaming of this day since making my first NASCAR start,” the Brazilian driver said in his winner’s interview. “I hope everyone recognizes that I do have the talent and the ambition to be here. I want this win to quickly translate over into racing on ovals.” Earnhardt was never a factor at Sonoma and finished 23rd after being involved in a spin on the white-flag lap.

NASCAR has made another change to the side skirts of the Sprint Cup cars. Beginning this week at Kentucky Speedway, ground clearance for all side skirts has been increased by ½ inch. Right side skirts must be between 4.5 and 5 inches off the pavement, and lefts must be between 5 and 5.5 inches. Also, the right and left rear sway bar connecting links will have to be perpendicular to the ground when the car is at ride height. The changes follow a similar move at Charlotte last month, and Jimmie Johnson said the latest move, like the earlier one, will take away some downforce from the cars. NASCAR’s goal is to take away some of the advantage the race leader enjoys, but that’s proven to be difficult. “It’s just a tough dynamic to try to make the lead car in clean air to drive as poorly as somebody in dirty air,” Johnson said. “I appreciate the process. I know we’re trying to create better racing, side-by-side racing, on the mile-and-a-half tracks, but the aero deal is tough to get around. “I don’t know what the answer is. I don’t feel this is it. I appreciate and respect the effort being made.”

Eric McClure returned to the Nationwide Series at Road America, his first race since being injured in a horrific crash at Talladega Superspeedway on May 5. He finished 21st, his best result in nine starts this year. He told reporters beforehand that he felt fine getting back into his No. 14 race car, but he also said that he did do some soul searching while he was recuperating from the concussion he suffered at Talladega. Asked if he ever considered not returning to driving, he responded: “Absolutely.” He said there are other things in life that mean more to him than driving race cars. “I’ve always said this isn’t the most important thing in my life – not because I’m not the mostcompetitive guy – but I’m 33 years old, I have a family and I really enjoy time with them,” he said. “Naturally, it’s this time in my life, not just because of the accident that I’m thinking, ‘What’s next?’ Not necessarily not coming back, but certainly plans and ideas about the next phase of my life, and how to transition into that, certainly came to mind. “I enjoyed watching Jeff [Green] race the car. It’s certainly hard to see your name on it and not be in it. At the same time, he brought a lot to the team that I think is going to help me.” McClure said returning to action on a road course was a good fit for him. “It’s such a competitive sport, a pressure sport. You go to these mile-anda-half tracks, the fast tracks, and you’re always Eric McClure out around somebody, (NASCAR photo) you’re always worried about what somebody else is doing – what their car is doing, what the air is doing,” he said. “[At Road America], you come to a place we don’t come to a lot, and for a guy like me, it’s a place where you know the car is going to be better than you. So you’re out there by yourself in practice, you’re getting comfortable, and you’re worried about what you’re doing. “To me, just to make sure I was comfortable, I felt like it was the best place. As far as racing, it’s no different once the race starts.”

Better parking pledged in Ky. Officials from Kentucky Speedway and the state of Kentucky have said in recent weeks that they’re confident that the improvements made since last year’s Sprint Cup race at the track should solve the issues that led to massive traffic problems at the track’s inaugural Cup race. The track has purchased two adjoining pieces of property, totaling more than 170 acres, and dedicated the land to spectator parking. Other track property also has been converted into parking spaces. A tunnel has been built under the highway by the track, and the state has expanded ramps and intersections nearby. Local reports indicate that about $14 million has been spent on improvements, most of it by the speedway. Driver Marcos Ambrose said on a recent teleconference that he’s confident that the Kentucky traffic issues have been addressed. “Whenever you have a brand new event, and you have a crowd that is due to come the first time, you can try to predict what’s going to happen, but it’s very hard to put into practice until you see it the first time,” he said. “It’s not good for our fans to be stuck in traffic and not being able to get access to the race. I know nobody inside the sport would like to see that happen again.”

Oakes Gets First Stateline Super Late Model Win at Stateline Speedway By Glenn Slocum Contributing Writer

BUSTI, N.Y. — Young and old enjoyed Autograph Night at Stateline Speedway sponsored by Seamens Auto Wrecking. Candy, balloons, an RC Car and several bicycles were given away. Tatlow made a green-to-checkers run for his second win in the Crate Late Model feature. Tatlow started off the pole in the feature and led the first circuit. Chad Silleman came from fourth for the runner up spot with pole sitter Ward Schell third. At the end of the first five laps Tatlow was quickly catching the field when the yellow flew for Jason Genco. Cody Mason failed to negotiate turn one on the restart for yellow number two. Zack Carley was the next to have problems with a half spin in turn four. Eight laps were complete. Bob Dorman was third after the restart with Schell fourth. After lap 10 Skip Jackson, Mason and Wade Mohawk tangled for caution three. Caution four collected Dereck Frank, Mark Thrasher and Brian Haggerty with thirteen laps completed. Tatlow was still in control with Silleman second and Schell back in third and veteran John Haggerty fourth. Tatlow won going away for his second win of the season. Greg Oakes and Chad Valone put on a high-speed exhibition in the Super Late Model race with Oakes besting Valone with two laps remaining. Oakes and Valone were on the front row of the feature and Oakes led the first two circuits giving way to Valone on lap three. Dave Scott moved up alongside Oakes on lap four and completed the pass two laps later then on lap seven Scott got up into the marbles making hard contact with the turn one

concrete. Valone, Oakes, Andy Boozel, Scott Gurdak and Chris Hackett were the restart leaders. Hackett passed Gurdak for fourth and Dick Barton was pressing Gurdak for fifth. Gurdak lost the position to Barton on lap 13. Barton continued advancing passing Hackett two laps later. The top three remained with Valone firmly in control. Valone was pinned to the outside of the speedway while Oakes went high in turns one and two and low thru three and four. Oakes’s strategy worked with two to go passing Valone in turn four. Valone caught a piece of the turn one wall on that lap losing two more spots but fought back over the final two laps to finish second as Oakes got his first Stateline win. Steve Kania won his third Limited Late Model feature and Chris Ottaway came from ninth for the runner up spot. Kania led the first five laps of the feature. Tyler Green caused the first caution. Kania, Jake Finnerty, Mike Moon, Dennis Asel and Ryan Scott were the top five. Scott picked up

two spots right after the restart and Asel one as Moon fell to fifth. By lap 10 Moon and Chris Ottaway had both passed Asel and were contesting the fourth spot. Green had more problems for yellow number two. Kania, Finnerty, Scott, Ottaway and Moon were the restart leaders. Scott took second on the restart with Ottaway in tow. Finnerty was now third. Scott slowed, pulling into the infield at the two-to-go signal moving Ottaway to second. Kania cruised for the last two laps for his third win in seven starts. John Woodward survived several cautions leading all but the first circuit in his second win of the season in the E-Mod division. Greg Johnson led the first lap of the feature and Woodard led the second. John Boyd, Mike McGee, Steve Rex and Al Cressley brought out the first yellow in a tangle in turn four with three laps complete. Woodward, Johnson and Justin Carlson were the leaders. Randy Hall and Scott Gurdak caused yellow number two on the restart. Two laps were completed then Gur-

dak and Al Cressley caused caution three. Alex Froman caused caution three with seven laps complete. Woodward, Johnson and Justin Carlson led with John Boardman fourth and John Eschrich fifth. Boardman beat Justin Carlson for third with 11 laps complete and a multi-car incident left Butch Southwell facing the wrong way for caution four. Kyle Bedell and John Boyd were also involved. Boardman charged by Johnson on lap 14. Johnson stopped up against a track tire for yellow five. Johnson was sent to the back for the restart. Woodward, Boardman, Eschrich and Justin Carlson were the leaders. With five laps remaining Woodward led Boardman by three car lengths and Boardman’s charge had ended. Chad Carlson lost a wheel and slid down the back stretch concrete for caution six. Woodward won his second of the season. Wade Watson won his first Super Sportsman feature of the season besting point leader Dan Nocero for the win.

The leaders, Nocero and Ben Burgess Jr. tangled on the start of the Super Sportsman feature but kept going as several cars stopped to avoid the leaders who pulled away. Burgess was the leader after the restart then the yellow flew for Jason Schumaker in turn four. Watson became the new leader on the restart. The race remained green for two more laps then Hank Francis stopped for caution three. Watson nearly tangled with a lap car on lap seven then narrowly missed Mike Genco who had spun in turn four. Nocero made an inside move to pass Burgess after the restart for second and Watson led. Jake Eller stopped on the speedway on the white flag lap setting up a one-lap dash for the win. Watson was up to the challenge winning his first of the season. Chris Withers showed why he has won all of the Street Stock features this season in an unchallenged green to checkers run for win number seven. Todd Bacon spun on the first lap of the Street Stock feature as Withers led. Jeremy Williams was second with Kyle Weilacher third. Withers was into lap traffic on lap six then the yellow flew for Chery Sweet stopped in turn four. Several cars tangled on the restart. Jeff Keith, Mike Brown, Jerry Fish and James Britt were some of the cars involved. Jeffery Keith spun to a stop in turn four for caution four with eight laps complete. Elaine Best lost a wheel in turn four for caution five with twelve laps down. Withers showed why he has won all of the Street Stock features this season in an unchallenged green to checkers run for win number seven. Bill Baker Jr. won the Super Challenger feature.

Wade Watson Wins Sportsmen Special at Eriez Speedway By Jay Pees

Contributing Writer

HAMMET, Pa. — On the annual Autograph Night at Eriez Speedway the Gannon University Super Sportsmen had a $500 to win special that was one by Wade Watson, who has won all but one feature this season. Defending champion Dave Hess Jr. charged into the Jay’s Auto Wrecking Super Late Model feature with a dominating performance, leading from green to checkers. Max Blair got another Dan’s Rt 8 Boardwalk Bar & Grill FASTRAK Late Model feature and Joel Watson came out victorious in a thrilling Plyler Overhead Door E-Mod finale. Young star Steve “Kid” Kania orchestrated another victory in the Conway & O’Malley Limited Late Model feature and Joe Rohrer finally returned to Eriez Victory Lane in the Bonnell Collision Center Street Stock feature. To cap off the night Kasey Hammond became the first female to win a feature in the Kandy’s Dinner Theater Challengers. Hess Jr. started outside front row and wasted no time assuming the lead of the Jay’s Auto Wrecking Super Late Model feature, a lead that was challenged by no one over the remainder of the race. Pole-sitter Dave Lyon ran second until suddenly slowing on lap 17. Hess’s half-lap lead evaporated for the restart which had Scott Johnson and five-time champion Rich Gardner right behind. Gardner got into second after green was back on the speedway while Johnson retired to the infield at lap 19. Hess went on to his first Super Late Model win of the season at Eriez with Gardner second, Mike Knight third, Scott Gurdak fourth, and Andy Boozel fifth, Defending champion Kyle Zimmerman and Bob Dorman were side by side at the

end of the first green flag lap of the Dan’s Rt 8 Boardwalk Bar & Grill FASTRAK Late Model feature with Dorman in sole possession of the lead after two laps. One lap later fifth-starting Max Blair was second, and next to the leader at lap eight. Using the momentum of the high line, Dorman held the lead until the halfway point but it was all Blair from there on out as the Centerville, Pa. speedster went on to his third win of the season at Eriez. Dorman wound up second over Zimmerman, Chad Wright, and Billy Henry. Joel Watson and Rich Michael Jr. led the 18 Plyler Overhead Door E-Mods to the green with the two racing side-by-side for the first lap with Watson slightly ahead at the stripe. After a restart with one lap completed Watson established himself as the leader but

Michael was on his rear bumper and pulling alongside in the turns. At lap 8, the leaders were coming into traffic with Michael getting nearly by Watson when Steve Rex spun coming out of turn four, bringing caution over the field. After the green Watson began pulling away until another caution slowed the action at lap 14. After green again flew, Russ Dunn and Shane Crotty both got by Michael while Watson went on to his third win of the season. The top five were Watson, Dunn, Crotty, Michael, and John Boyd. The Conway & O’Malley Limited Late Model feature had Mike Lozowski and Steve Kania on the front row. Lozowski led lap one but spun out of contention in turn two of lap two. 2011 champion Chris Ottaway made his way to the runner-up spot and was challeng-

ing on the high side for the lead by lap 6. At halfway Kania had the lead but only by a fender-length with the positions reversed the next lap. By the end of 12, Ottaway was in sole command only to have a tire lose pressure, forcing him from the event. Kania went on to his second win of the season over, Chris McGuire, Tyler Green, Dustin Eckman, and Jake Finnerty. Brent Crandall took the immediate lead at the start of the $500 to win Gannon University Sportsman Special. Four laps into the 15-lap feature Wade Watson took over at the front. After a caution at lap five, Ben Burgess Jr joined Watson at the front but was unable to get by Watson as he went to his fourth win of the season. Burgess settled for second over Jim Kibbe, Hank Francis, and Jake Eller. Joe Rohrer and Andy Faulhaber led the nineteen Bonnell Collision Center Street Stocks to Mark Matthews green flag with Rohrer shooting out to the lead with Steve Keith Jr. coming to second before the end of lap one. By the end of four laps Pat McGuire was up from his twelfth starting spot to second and was pressuring Rohrer every lap. At lap 12 John Phelps Jr. grabbed second back from McGuire but very briefly. At the end of the next lap Phelps spun from contention in turn four. At the checkers it was Rohrer for his first Eriez feature win in several years with McGuire second, Mark Frontera third, Brian Crandall fourth, and Tim Thompson fifth. The Kandy’s Dinner Theater Challenger feature was led by Bob Swanson for the first several laps with Wes Stull alongside. On lap six Kasey Hammond slipped under both leaders in turn two for the lead, going on to the win over Bill Baker Jr and Joe Beach. Although second at the finish, Swanson was penalized for rough driving.

Bills' "No-Name" Oﬀense Has Top 10 Objective

By John Wawrow Associated Press

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Receiver David Nelson can still recall the giddy times of last season, when he and the rest of the Buffalo Bills' collection of castoffs and journeymen began shedding their no-name label on offense. For two months, the so-called ''Mis-Fitz'' — named after quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick — showed they could be one of the NFL's most productive offenses with a prolific spark in helping the Bills get off to a surprising 5-2 start. That was before injuries and inconsistencies caught up in a season that ended with a 6-10 thud. With all of the key members returning, and being a year older and a whole lot healthier, Nelson doesn't see why the Bills can't go further this year in proving themselves over an entire 16-game season. ''That's what's exciting. Last year, we just kind of wanted everybody to know we were legit,'' Nelson said. ''Now that we've made that known, and people have to take account of who we are and what we're

capable of, now we have to take that next step and be that dynamic offense.'' The first steps toward meeting that objective were taken over the past month during a series of voluntary and mandatory practices, which wrapped up on Thursday. The process will continue on July 26, when the Bills open training camp in Rochester for a team brimming with the expectation that it is on the cusp of being a contender and in a position to snap a 12-year playoff drought. ''Our team knows we can win. Our team knows we can play with the best teams in the league,'' Nelson said. ''It's just about going out and doing it.'' With much of the focus being placed on how much the Bills invested this offseason — signing defensive end Mario Williams and selecting cornerback Stephon Gilmore in the first round of the draft — to improve its defense, the significant strides made by the offense last year can't be overlooked. It's a unit that got off to an eye-opening start in averaging 30 points and 380 yards

over its first seven games. That's a stretch in which the Bills rallied from double-digit second-half deficits to beat Oakland and New England on consecutive weekends.

Wannstedt Takes Straight-Ahead Approach To Bills D By John Wawrow

start of training camp. They've added experienced depth, with Vince Young competing for the backup quarterback job. And they are counting on rookie secondround pick Cordy Glenn to take over at left tackle after losing Demetress Bell in free agency. The only significant question mark is at the No. 2 receiver spot, which remains unfilled. Gailey acknowledged the success his offense enjoyed through the first half of last season was important in establishing the expectations of what the players can be capable of this year. ''When you have done it, it's a lot easier to sell it,'' he said. ''I think there is a lot of confidence. I think our guys believe they can move the football and believe that they can score points.'' That doesn't mean his job is complete. ''Believing it and doing it are two separate things,'' Gailey said. ''You have got to go do it. But we are all on the same page that we believe we can go get that done.''

Bills Williams' New Home Windfall For Scam Victims Contributed Article

Associated Press

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Amid the hype and high expectations emerging from a busy offseason in Buffalo, one of Dave Wannstedt's primary concerns is guarding against distractions in assessing the potential of the Bills new-look, high-priced, Mario Williamsled defense. ''I've got a great saying above the door, and I've had it since I started coaching,'' the veteran coach and Buffalo's first-year defensive coordinator said. ''And it says that on defense, we shouldn't be affected by any outside elements.'' More out of necessity than design, Wannstedt is taking the straight-ahead approach as the Bills opened a three-day mandatory minicamp on Tuesday. He's unable to turn his head up, down or sideways, because of a heavy neck brace he's wearing after having surgery to repair a lingering injury sustained in a cycling accident last year. ''I live dangerously,'' Wannstedt said with a wink. Should all go as planned, the same can be said about the attacking, shoot-the-gap, disruptive defensive approach Wannstedt intends to employ to take advantage of an experience-laden front line Buffalo's assembled. ''The guys up front, it all start there,'' said Wannstedt, who took over in January after George Edwards was fired. ''Hey, we've got to have the best secondary in the league, we've got to have the best linebackers just like everybody, but we will only go as far as our defensive line can carry us.'' In one short offseason, and with Wannstedt's decision to switch back to a 4-3 system, the Bills front has gone from an injury-riddled question mark that had difficulty stopping the run and pressuring quarterbacks to being counted upon to be the defense's strength. It began with the Bills signing defensive ends Williams and Mark Anderson in free agency in March. They join a line that is welcoming back tackle Kyle Williams and pass-rushing specialist Shawne Merriman, both of whom had season-ending surgery in November. And starting tackle Marcell Dareus, who is coming off a promising rookie season, and 10year veteran defensive end Chris Kelsay, who will be playing his more natural position after spending the past two seasons at linebacker will also be in the mix. Add in returning veterans Spencer Johnson and Dwan Edwards and the Bills have enough talent and experience to have a two-deep rotation that has the potential to wear down opposing offensive lines. Enthusiasm is building among Bills players eager to help transform a defense that was one of the NFL's worst last season, and turn around

Despite an inability to sustain that momentum in losing eight of their final nine games, Buffalo's offense still produced 5,624 yards, the most by the Bills since 1992, and finished

14th in the NFL in yards, the best finish since Drew Bledsoe's first season in 2002. Fitzpatrick considers a top 10 finish to be a legitimate goal. And the quarterback, a former seventh-round draft pick out of Harvard, is putting much of the onus on himself to be better in entering his second year as the team's unquestioned starter. ''A lot of that is on me,'' said Fitzpatrick, whose production tailed off in finishing the season with 24 touchdowns and 23 interceptions. ''We know we have the talent, we know we have the system and the pieces. It's just a matter of going out there and being consistent.'' What provides him and his teammates confidence is that many of them should benefit from the continuity and familiarity of entering their third year in head coach Chan Gailey's offensive system. Being healthy helps, too. Running back Fred Jackson (broken leg), receiver Stevie Johnson (groin) are already back practicing, while center Eric Wood (knee surgery) is expected to be ready for the

Associated Press

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Bills defensive end Mario Williams has a new home, and at least 53 new fans. By closing on a $2 million deal to purchase a mansion in suburban Buffalo, the Bills' high-priced free-agent addition is also helping a group of creditors recoup a portion of the $3.1 million they were cheated out of by the home's former owner. “It was a windfall,'' said William F.

Sabres Add More Centers On Draft Day 2 Contributed Article Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Sabres completed their selections at the NHL Draft in Pittsburgh, taking three more centers along with two defensemen and a goaltender on Saturday afternoon. After taking two centers in the

first round on Friday night — Russian center Mikhail Grigorenko at No. 12 and Latvian Zemgus Girgensons at No. 14 — Buffalo continued to bolster the position by taking Canadian Justin Kea in the third round, U.S.-born Logan Nelson in the fifth, and Minnesota high school product Judd Peterson in the seventh.

In the second round, the Sabres selected defenseman Jake McCabe from the University of Wisconsin, where two of his three goals as a freshman were game-winners. Kea, a 6-foot-4 physical forward who has 125 penalty minutes in 127 career games with Saginaw of the Ontario Hockey League, is a second

cousin of former NHL enforcer Jeff Beukeboom. Buffalo picked Swedish goaltender Linus Ullmark in the sixth round. With their two seventh-round selections, the Sabres took 6-foot-4 defenseman Brady Austin from Belleville of the OHL and Peterson, a from Duluth Marshall High School.

Buﬀalo Sabres Announce 2012-13 Schedule

Contributed Article Buﬀalo Sabres

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Sabres and the National s. Hockey League announced the team’s schedule for the 2012-13 rsregular season. The Sabres will in play on consecutive nights a rth franchise-low 11 times in 201213 after leading the league in ng back-to-back sets during each il of the last two seasons. “Terry Pegula tasked us with ' getting the best possible s schedule for our players, regardless of whether it meant sacrificing prime home weekend dates,” said Buffalo Sabres President Ted Black. “As such, e our schedule-making requests on, and decisions this year were n't driven by a 'Hockey First' philosophy that sought to reduce Newback-to-back situations and or maximize the amount of recovery time between games.” In the team’s 41-season history, the Sabres have averaged 20 back-to-back sets per year. Since the 2005-06 season, they have played the most in the league. Of the 11 back-to-back sets in 2012-13, only five will

take place after Jan. 1, four fewer than during the same period last season. Buffalo will open the season at home on Saturday, Oct. 13 vs. Pittsburgh and will wrap up their schedule at home as well, with Fan Appreciation Night on Saturday, Apr. 13 vs. Boston. The variable pricing designations and box office pricing for individual games will be released at a later date. The Sabres will play only five Friday night games at First Niagara Center in 2012-13. This total is six fewer than last year’s 11 and seven fewer than the 12 Friday night home games the team has averaged since 2005-06. Also changing from previous years is the team’s preferred start time for home games, which will now be 7 p.m. on all weekdays, including Friday. “We believe that the earlier, 7 p.m. start time will make the travel schedule easier for our players and will make it easier for our younger fans to follow the team on school nights,” Black said.

The team will also play more Sunday games than usual this season, with nine Sunday dates on the schedule, including four at First Niagara Center, after playing a 201112 schedule that included only one Sunday game. The Sunday home schedule includes a “Tailgate and Hockey” game on the Sunday of the Buffalo Bills’ bye week (Oct. 28 vs. Philadelphia, 5 p.m.), a home game on Super Bowl Sunday (Feb. 3 vs. St. Louis, 3:30 p.m.) and a Feb. 10 matchup with the Ottawa Senators at 5 p.m. The team will round out their Sunday home games by participating in “Hockey Day in America” once again, with a home game on Sunday, Feb. 17 vs. Pittsburgh at 7:30 p.m. The opponent breakdown of the 82-game schedule remains the same as last season. Each team will play six games against their divisional opponents (24 games), four games against each non-divisional conference opponent (40 games), one game against each of the 15 non-conference

opponents (15), and three additional “at large” games (Chicago, Phoenix and San Jose). After playing seven of their first 10 games at First Niagara Center, the Sabres will hit the road for four games in the span of six days, tying for their longest road trip of the season. The trip will begin on Nov. 6 in Philadelphia, continuing through San Jose (Nov. 8) and Phoenix (Nov. 10) before wrapping up in Anaheim on Nov. 11. The 2012-13 season will be the first time the Sabres haven’t played five or more consecutive road games in a season since 2001-02. The Sabres will play six homeand-home series in 2012-13, with opponents including New Jersey (Oct. 24 and 26), Philadelphia (Nov. 16 and 17), Montreal (Dec. 6 and 8, Dec. 15 and 17), Boston (Feb. 6 and 8) and Ottawa (Feb. 10 and 12). Other schedule highlights include a visit from the defending Stanley Cup Champion Los Angeles Kings on Feb. 5 and the return of “Tux and Pucks” on Dec. 31 vs. Ottawa at 5 p.m.

Local Fishing Hot Spot in Jeopardy By Steve Peacock Star Outdoors Writer

The walleye fishing last weekend was better than I had expected and definitely the best it has been this season. We went out just after dawn with two of us on the boat and had caught seven walleyes by noon. Had we not lost three fish, we would have gotten our limit. While we were out, our fish finder showed fish most of the time and had shown far less bait than in previous trips. Of the seven fish we caught, our smallest was around five pounds and was the first fish of the day. Our largest fish was nine pounds and it was the last fish we caught. In fact we caught the nine pounder while we were pulling rods in to go home. The other walleye fishermen that I heard from all had a pretty good weekend, too. The reports that I got from the perch fishermen were all over the place with some guys doing well and others not as well. Good perch bait is becoming harder

to find, even for the bait shops. This fact is only going to make the perch fishing that much harder. I have made many respectable catches of perch using bait that would not have been my first choice. I often talk about fishing in the Dunkirk Harbor especially during times of the year when there aren’t many fishing opportunities. Well the Niagara Mohawk power plant that is located right at the harbor may be closing. The warm water produced by the power plant is what keeps the water in the harbor from freezing in the winter. This warm water is also what attracts many of the fish into the harbor. Once this happens, who knows what will become of this local fishing hot spot. The ice fishermen I’ve spoken to are ready and excited to have the harbor freeze up. I like to ice fish but I am concerned about all of the wild birds that use the unfrozen harbor for their winter home. I can only hope that they will be able to adapt and find a new place for the winter.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article

Department of Environmental Conservation

Choppy waters have kept many anglers off Lake Erie this week, however weather and water conditions look ideal for the weekend. The overall walleye action has been slow, with better catches to the west. A good starting point for trollers from Barcelona to Dunkirk is around 60-70 feet of water (fow), with stickbaits and worm harnesses run at various depths. Depths between 4050 fow is a better starting point out of Cattaraugus Creek and Sturgeon Point harbors. June has been a good month for yellow perch anglers. The better perch zone has been from west of Cattaraugus Creek to Sturgeon Point in 50-65 fow. Perch are also available out of Dunkirk and Barcelona harbors, however reports have

been scarce lately. Out of all ports, emerald shiners fished just off the bottom work best. Anglers report steady smallmouth bass action in 10-35 fow, from Buffalo to Sturgeon Point, but anglers can locate bass out of any harbor. The key is to find rocky bottom structure like reefs, rock piles and drop-offs. 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 There are still some channel catfish hanging around the lowest stretch of Cattaraugus Creek. Target catfish with nightcrawlers, raw shrimp, chicken livers, cut bait or dough balls fished on the bottom. Upper Niagara River Live bait (minnows, crayfish, worms) will catch a variety of fish species

from the shoreline sites along the City of Buffalo and the Tonawandas. Black bass, white perch, yellow perch, rock bass and sheepshead are hitting baits at sites including Broderick Park, Squaw Island, Ontario Street Boat Launch and adjacent walkway, Isle View Park and Niawanda Park. Boaters target smallmouth bass outside of weedlines, often over a rocky bottom. Live crayfish work great for smallmouth bass. Anglers also target muskellunge along weed edges. Inland Trout Streams The area streams have moderate to low, clear flows. Fly hatches have tapered off, with only light hatches of isonychia, cahills and caddisflies happening. If no visible hatches are occurring, drifting nymphs (hare's ear, pheasant tail, golden stonefly) is a good bet. Fly anglers can also start to see surface action on terrestrials.

MIAMI WIN CHAMPIONSHIP continued from pg 4 is the lone holdover from Miami's 2006 championship club. ''Changing my name from Mr. Miami to Mr. Two-Time. I ain't Mr. Miami no more. I'm Mr. Two-Time. ... It never gets old. But this one is more gratifying because of the way last season ended.'' Spoelstra had a similar sentiment, talking to the crowd about the team's commitment, especially after Miami lost last season's finals to Dallas. ''People from the outside, they criticized this group, this team,'' Spoelstra said. ''They counted this team out. But they never estimated how close this group was as a family. Every single one of these players had to sacrifice something, either money, opportunity, minutes to be a part of this dream. And it was all for a moment like this.'' After the celebrating was done, there was business. Wade reiterated that he would seek medical advice before committing to play with the Olympic team. Bosh - who

missed nine playoff games with a strained lower abdominal muscle - said he was ''all in, for now'' on being part of the London Games. And Miller, who was hobbled by back and foot issues, said on Twitter he planned to meet with Miami neurosurgeon Dr. Barth Green on Tuesday, presumably to get checked out and discuss options. Miami won the title by defeating Oklahoma City in five games in the NBA Finals. It was the second title for the Heat and the first for James, who nodded and pointed to fans for much of the parade. James came to Miami after seven years in Cleveland, and after he and the Heat fell in the finals a year ago, he's finally a champion. ''It's good being around other people who support LeBron,'' said Doug Mead of Toledo, Ohio, who came to the parade with his family. ''They really don't like him in Ohio. They celebrate when he loses.'' Everyone was celebrating in

BILLS DEFENSE continued from pg 8 and can do that,'' Fitzpatrick said, noting he had receiver David Nelson open. ''That's a big play for the defense to get that rather than a 25-yard gain we would've had.'' Wannstedt remains cautious. ''It's obvious that we've added talent,'' Wannstedt said. ''We're

where we need to be today. Now it's important that we take the next step and keep things in perspective.'' Notes: WR Stevie Johnson said he felt pain-free after practicing on a limited basis in team drills for the first time since having groin surgery last

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. Spring Trout Stocking Each spring, DEC Fish Hatchery staff distribute thousands of yearling brown, brook and rainbow trout in western New York. In addition, many of the popular trout streams are also stocked with two-year-old brown trout that are between 12-15 inches long.

Truth be told, the biggest surprise might very well have been the way Isner — the highest-ranked American man — blew a match point, wasted a two-sets-to-one lead, dropped a tiebreaker on grass, and bid a 6-4, 6-7 (7), 3-6, 7-6 (7), 7-5 farewell to Wimbledon in the first round against 73rd-ranked Alejandro Falla of Colombia. Then again, there's a pattern here. It's the third consecutive major tournament that Isner leaves after a five-set loss, including 18-16 at the French Open against 261st-ranked Paul-Henri Mathieu. This from a guy who's best known for winning the longest match in tennis history, 70-68 in the fifth after more than 11 hours, against Nicolas Mahut at Wimbledon in 2010. ''I didn't put my opponent away. I had my chances, and I didn't do it. It's all on me. Was just not great on my part,'' said the 6-foot-9 Isner, who hit 31 aces to Falla's four.

Riley shouted ''Thank you'' to fans over and over, as his wife, Chris, stood to his left and led ''Let's go Heat'' chants. Some fans began lining up for spots along the parade route Sunday night. ''I've been a fan since '89. For me personally I feel like I'm part of the Heat family,'' said Dexter Pace of West Palm Beach, Fla. ''I've been through the goods, the bads, the losses, the trades, and now it's like someone in my family has accomplished something. .... It's going to mean a lot for the city of Miami, winning the championship.'' As the event ended, Bosh thanked both the fans inside the arena and those outside, saying that without them, nothing would be possible for the Heat. ''It feels right,'' Bosh said. ''This is how it's supposed to be ... and I would like to do it all the time.''

weakness, because his strokes are as good as they come, but the 23-year-old from Latvia who is ranked 87th stood tall in a 7-6 (5), 7-6 (4), 7-6 (4) victory over Berdych. ''A lot of players mature later than others. Some mature at 15; some mature at 29. I hope it's somewhere in between; 23 is OK,'' Gulbis said. ''If I hit the ball well, I hit stronger than everybody else. It is like this, you know. Maybe only couple guys hit the ball as strong as I do.'' Used to be that Williams could say that when comparing herself to other top women. She and her younger sister Serena rewrote the way the game was played in the late 1990s and early 2000s, with 120 mph serves and ferocious forehands. But Williams hasn't been that player for quite a while now. She announced in August that she had been diagnosed with Sjogren's syndrome, an autoimmune disease that can cause fatigue and joint pain. Her match against Vesnina was at Court 2, which was built three years ago; Serena complained about having to play on it in 2011. For years prior, the name ''Court 2'' was assigned to a venue about half the size and a few minutes' walk away, a place known as the ''Graveyard of Champions'' because of a series of stunning losses by top players: Serena, Jimmy Connors, John McEn-

roe and Pete Sampras. Care to guess where Serena is scheduled to play her firstround match Tuesday? Yep, that's right: Court 2. The older Williams has played only 18 matches in 2012, going 12-6, and looked rather ordinary against Vesnina, who is more accomplished in doubles and never made it past the fourth round at a major tournament in singles. ''Of course I was scared. Not scared, but I was, like, aware of her serve. But I think she didn't serve that well today,'' said Vesnina, who recalled watching on TV when Williams beat Lindsay Davenport in the 2005 Wimbledon final. ''Maybe for her, it was not one of her best days,'' Vesnina said about Monday. ''But for me, it was one of the best days.'' Williams fell behind 5-0, and needed 30 minutes to win a single game. She got broken the first four times she served. She rolled her eyes or shook her head after missed shots. Her father pulled out his camera late in the second set and snapped some photos from the stands, maybe wondering right along with some spectators whether this might be Williams' last singles match at Wimbledon. At her news conference, Williams was asked what will drive her, given the way she's struggling. ''Am I struggling?'' Williams replied. ''Am I?''

No-slice swing

Go back to get ahead Q: I’m an 18 handicap and I want to get better, but can’t. Even though I practice, it’s been a struggle for about five years now. What can I do to get better? — R.H. A: After five years it sounds like you need a new swing instead of a fine-tuning. I suggest a two-step process: First, stop playing for three weeks and learn a new swing — from the beginning. Of course you won’t be able to master it in such a short time, but you’ll get your marching orders. Second, it takes constant feedback to form a habit, so spend time practicing drills, grooving the proper positions and motions, fine-tuning your tempo and training your muscles. I have found that those who continue to play during the early stages of making a swing change return to their old habits under the on-course pressure because the new skills never have time to become established. In six months to a year, you should be comfortable with your new swing. (To Ask the Pro a question about golf, email him at: pblion@aol.com.) EQUIPMENT

The major factor in determining how long a shaft you should use is whether or not you hit the golf ball squarely with the longer shaft. When your clubs are too short, you have a tendency to drop down into the golf ball as compensation. Thus you hit it thin if you don’t drop, and fat if you drop too much. Clubs that are too long force you to pull up and out of the shot to avoid digging into the ground before you make ball contact. Either too long or too short creates setup problems as well as swing mistakes. The rule of thumb is to use the longest shaft that results in square hits, and a golf swing that’s in balance.

BIRDIES AND BOGEYS

IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME

To start your own Slice Eradication Program, here are five easily learned anti-slice matchups you must put in place. Matchup 1: Target and clubface. Aim your clubface correctly, so it’s pointing where you want the ball to start. First select an intermediate target, then use the vertical aiming lines that are a part of every clubface. Matchup 2: Body line and target line. Arrange your body correctly, with particular attention to your shoulders. The arms follow the shoulders, and if your shoulders are too open or closed at address, you’ll cut across the ball at impact. Matchup 3: Ball position and shoulder position. A ball that’s too far forward causes the shoulders to open; too far back creates closed shoulders. Use the ball position that will allow you to align your shoulders parallel to your starting line. This will vary, according to your

Your swing is on plane when the clubface and the lead wrist and forearm are parallel. This tour pro also has his hat brim on plane. No wonder these guys are so good!

Visit his face position. website at Positioning tjtomasi.com. of the hands must allow a flat left wrist. Stay away from the slice-causing cupped wrist. A neutral grip, with the V’s formed by your thumbs and index fingers pointing between the right cheek of your face and your right shoulder, promotes a square face. Matchup 5: Foot flare and the release. The front foot should be adjusted by experimenting with less flare. The amount of flare in the front foot controls the release of the clubface — the less flare, the sooner the front leg straightens, causing an earlier release by squaring the face more aggressively.

To stop the slice, you must let your forearms rotate through impact.

The good life creates mentally weak players like Bubba Watson, Luke Donald and Rory McIlroy, who play well only when things are going well — it’s sunny, windless and they have their lucky red sweaters on. They don’t know how to take emotional punishment because they lead a pampered sports life: They don’t get punched or suddenly pulled down from behind; they work for themselves without imposed schedules; and all they have to do is make the cut and they’re on easy street (if you shot even par in 2011, you made well over $1 million). And here is the big one: They don’t play well if the course doesn’t fit their game because they can’t change their game to fit the course. Luke Donald didn’t even bother to show up for practice rounds before Open week to learn the course. He may be No. 1 in the world, but he’ll never be a great player. He lacks the ability to adjust as the battlefield changes. Donald shot 11 over and missed the cut. Watson may have a lot of different shots, but he is still a one-trick pony when it comes to emotional toughness and adjusting to changing conditions. He said after his first-round 78 that the course was too hard for him. Then he proved it by missing the cut. Rory McIlroy went home early sounding intimidated by the golf course: “It’s just such a demanding golf course. It punishes the slightest shot off line or that’s maybe not the right distance. You have to be so precise.” Yes, and if you’re not spot-on, you have to gut it out. In 2012, McIlroy is 167th in “bounce back” — a birdie or better after a bogey or worse. In 2011, he was 174th. Are the new breed of professionals rich? Successful? Highly ranked? Yes. Are they great players? No.

TEEING OFF

THE GOLF DOCTOR

Special forces needed in champion’s skill set

yed or

The recognition skills taught to Special Forces soldiers are also part of a champion golfer’s skill set, used for assessing each shot. No tournament venue in recent history has tested these non-swing skills more than The Olympic Club, site of the U.S. Open. Experience: There is no substitute for having been there and done that. Once your map of the territory is clear, fear of the unknown is mitigated. Part of the expression “paying your dues” involves playing enough so you have experienced almost every golfing scenario. It is the reason practice rounds and yardage books are essential, and it often explains why a local hotshot is unbeatable on his home course, but does not play the same on the road — the territory changes and the player can’t adapt. Luke Donald had no chance at Olympic when he chose not to play any pre-week practice rounds. He missed the cut, shooting 11 over! Depth perception: This skill allows the player to locate the target accurately. It’s a combination of training and natural talent. Some players’ eyes are better than others, while some players use their eyes better. The best ball strikers get the distance correct. You can be wide left or right, but when you’re consistently short and long, you can’t survive in golf. Olympic in particular is a venue that provides a rigorous eye exam, with small greens and precipitous run-offs if you misjudge. Tiger was one of many to flunk the eye exam. Long-term focus: Under stress, the ability to focus becomes unbalanced. Neuroscientists say that even the most observant brain will not pick up subtle clues (such as small breaks in the green or the effect of a gusting wind) if that

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“Shortly after Jack Nicklaus testified against me, I played a practice round with his son, Gary. We were friends and had played a lot together. Gary said, ‘Just so you know, the Tour put a lot of pressure on my dad to testify, and I don’t think he felt real great about doing it.’” — Casey Martin Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus both testified against Casey Martin using a golf cart during competition, predicting that it would ruin golf as we know it. The PGA Tour did its best to prevent Martin, a disabled golfer, from playing, and in a case that reached the Supreme Court in 2001, the Tour lost.

brain is overwhelmed by stress chemicals. One lapse late Sunday cost Jim Furyk when the USGA threw the field a curveball by moving the tee up 100 yards to make the unreachable 16th reachable. “There’s no way, when we play our practice rounds, you’re going to hit a shot from a tee 100 yards up unless someone tells you,” said Furyk. Unprepared for just a moment and with his focus frayed, Furyk hooked his Open chances into the bushes. Anomaly detection: When you see a pro toss grass in the air, he’s practicing the skill of anomaly detection, i.e., the ability to read the subtle changes in the course as the round unfolds. Of all the non-swing skills you must have to win the U.S. Open, this is the one that is most important. “They (the USGA) have a knack to get this course playing differently (than during practice rounds),” said Luke Donald. “When it comes to turning up on Thursday morning, it seems like a different animal.” Your field of operation is the golf course, and the field is always changing. Greens quicken or slow almost imperceptibly; the wind velocity changes, the mist rolls in, then the sun comes out. And, of course, you change over five hours. Chemically, you are not the same entity that started the round; your electrolyte mix is different, your hormones ebb and flow, and your neurotransmitters fluctuate up and down. Champions learn to detect all sorts of anomalies, both in the field and within themselves, then adjust for them. As Ben Hogan said simply, “Golf is a game of adjustments.” And so it was that Webb Simpson emerged from the mist at Olympic, more in control of all four of these skills than anyone else — at least for that week.

Do you feel like your legs do an Elvis impression when you chip? Here’s a drill that will give you the feeling of lowerbody quietness. Simply cross your legs and focus on a rhythmic arm swing. Allow a bit of knee action — just enough to give you the rhythm. Note that my left arm, hand and club shaft form a straight line at impact in this photo. This is necessary to keep the clubface (1) on-line and (2) on-loft. “On-loft” means that if you started with 60 degrees of loft at address, you deliver the clubface with 60 degrees at impact. When you’re on-loft, your chips and pitches tend to go the distance you planned for, a requirement for an effective short game.

WHAT SCIENCE SAYS

Golf: the best weight-loss plan According to most experts, the best way to lose weight is slowly — only one or two pounds per week. If you burn 3,500 more calories than you take in per week, then you’ll lose a pound. You can control the number of calories you burn playing golf by riding or walking. Ride in a cart and you’ll use up about 1,000 calories; walk and carry your clubs and the number doubles. The chart below shows calorie burn rates for different body weights. It was developed by NutriStrategy Nutrition and Fitness using research from the American College of Sports Medicine. Calories burned per hour at different body weights: Golf, carrying clubs Golf, pulling clubs Golf, using power cart Golf, miniature or driving range

Worthy TV

Wealthy people go undercover in ‘Secret Millionaire’ By Kyla Brewer TV Media

ustom luxury cars, glare-inducing diamonds and sunsoaked summer homes might be nice, but wealthy people are sometimes as generous with others as they are with themselves. Most people who’ve imagined winning the lottery have envisioned helping a favorite charity or cause, but what about real-life philanthropists? ABC has a show for anyone who’s ever wondered how rich people decide who’s deserving of a piece of their wealth. Self-made multimillionaire and author Steve Kaplan lets cameras tag along as he engages in a unique experience in “Secret Millionaire,” airing Sunday, July 1, on ABC. He leaves behind his privileged, posh life to find out how the other half truly lives as he takes Chicago’s famous L-train into a poverty-stricken neighborhood to find a group or organization to donate to. Not to be confused with the comedian of the same name, Kaplan owns several businesses and has written the best-selling book “Bag the Elephant: How to Win and Keep Big Customers,” among others. In “Secret Millionaire,” he’ll have a limited time to make his decision, and it won’t be as simple as just walking into the community and throwing around his money.

Steve Kaplan as seen in “Secret Millionaire” The catch is he’ll be masquerading as a man who’s down on his luck himself. Required to subsist on the equivalent of welfare assistance, Kaplan spends a week in a community in Chicago’s south side, an area rife with gang violence and poverty. There, he meets people who are struggling to make a difference with such projects as an after-school program to keep kids off the streets, a low-income senior citizens community, and a charity that provides everyday items to those in need. Kaplan intends to dole out thousands of dollars from his own bank account to those he deems worthy. Helping people is nothing new to the the best-selling author. For years, he’s been helping others achieve success, and, in fact, has been credited with making at least 100 others into millionaires, in addition to inspiring countless others to follow their passions.

Narrated by actor Blair Underwood, who joined the show at the beginning of this season, ABC’s “Secret Millionaire” is actually based on a U.K. version that first aired on Channel 4 in 2006. Across the pond, the show is still going strong with 10 seasons under its belt. The first season of the U.S. version actually started on Fox but moved to ABC in Season 2. The American edition of the show follows the format of its predecessor quite closely. As in the U.K. series, the benefactors are required to hide their true identities from those in the community. Locals are told the cameras are present simply to film a documentary. At the end of the week, the wealthy participants reveal who they really are and make sizeable donations to those they believe are deserving. It isn’t surprising “Secret Millionaire” has struck a chord with viewers. It shines a spotlight on those who really want to make a difference, and Kaplan is just one of the remarkable people to sign on for the unique series. This season kicked off as world-renowned artist Scott Jacobs took his teenage daughter Alexa to Newark, N.J., away from their sheltered, wealthy life in search of those needing help. Chuck Runyon and Dave Mortensen, the brains behind Anytime Fitness, have also heeded the call.

USA is playing with fire as ‘Burn Notice’ returns By Dee Wright TV Media

e all have our own little blacklist -- a collection of restaurants that gave bad service, stores that sold poor products, or even people who can’t be trusted. It’s rare that we change our minds on what we’ve already blacklisted. Six years ago, Agent Michael Westen was blacklisted -- he was labeled as an unfit, unreliable and possibly even dangerous agent. Unaware of what he did to become “burned,” he needed to connect the dots in order to get his life back. His assets were frozen and his contacts are all wiped out, leaving him as a floater in society. With no money, no job and essentially no identity, he is stuck in Miami with only the help of his ex-girlfriend and former agent Fiona to find the answers. “Burn Notice” airs Thursdays on USA, and will resume new episodes next week after taking a break for the Fourth of July programming. Over the past five seasons, Michael (Jeffrey Donovan) has fought his way through the list of enemies to figure out who was behind his original burn notice. He’s lost several allies and friends while trying to find his answers, but nothing has held him back from discovering the truth. As a spy, Michael has become a great liar -- he can assume an identity and personality, complete with backstories and accents, to complete any job. He and Fiona (Gabrielle Anwar) team up as private investigators to make ends meet while they search for justice. At the end of last season, he learned that he’d been burned by Anson Fullerton, a member of an

StarsonScreen By Sheila Busteed TV Media COUTURE CAREGIVERS: In Bev-

She’s joined by Justin Sylvester, Lucy Treadway, Amanda Averill, Scott Cartmill, Shayla Quinn, Shaun Sturz, Amber Valdez and Maggie Thorne. Each of them brings varying degrees of experience to their job -- Sylvester, Treadway, Sturz and Valdez can boast of previously working for A-list stars, such as Kyle Richards, Kenny G. and Nick Cassavetes. Averill is new to the city and Thorne is new to the business, but as close friends of Lancione, they have a solid resource for help. HOME BEST HOME: TLC has been at the forefront of unique reality programming since it launched “Trading Spaces” in 2000, which pointed the camera at amateur home renovation and design projects. The cabler upped the ante in the reality-competition genre with “Four Weddings” by sending four couples to each other’s weddings to rate them for the chance to win a dream honeymoon.

erly Hills, reality is certainly different from the rest of America. This affluent neighborhood is known for its breathtaking views and posh designer shops, as well as, of course, being the place that Hollywood stars, professional athletes and many of L.A.’s elite citizens call home. Throw on top of that the fact that these upper-crust Californians often don’t rear their children alone, and Beverly Hills can be a very unique place for kids and the caregivers who help raise them. Starting next week, ABC Family will give curious viewers an inside look at life as a nanny in the town with the famous 90210 zip code when it launches a new reality series. “Beverly Hills Nannies,” which premieres Wednesday, July 11, follows a group of nine nannies as they work for famous families. The docu-series suggests that, while their bosses may have the money and the power, it’s the nannies who keep things running smoothly. The group of nannies is led by Kristin Lancione, who is one of the top celebrity caregivers in the city and is starting her own nannyplacement agency. Lancione previously worked Kristin Lancione as with a number of big names, seen in “Beverly including Lori Loughlin and Hills Nannies” Mossimo Giannulli.

Now it seems the two concepts are being blended for the network’s newest venture. On Monday, July 2, TLC will premiere “Four Houses,” a new property competition series that features four unique homes in each episode and requires their owners to critique each other’s abodes. The house that earns top points has the chance to win $10,000 for its owner and may appear in a magazine feature for “Better Homes and Gardens.” The homes that make it onto the show are truly one of a kind and tend to reflect the owners’ unique tastes, yet all of them will have to be graded and given a score out of 10 based on originality, livability and style. The premiere episode is sure to display exactly how different the competing homeowners can be when it comes to designing their dream home. The network has described Jen’s house as a “classic Princeton manor,” while Bruce has his home on a cliffside, Mishka lives in a “European lodge” and Ricky owns a “provocative, quirky mansion in the woods.” Pitting these four homes, which seem to have nothing in common, against each other for the first episode is a testament to TLC’s desire to make the contest a challenge. OPRAH’S ONLINE GROWTH:

Many people would agree that, considering she has her own media empire to run, Oprah Winfrey has enough on her hands. Apparently, though, she still wants more. The presidents of her cable net-

work recently announced that OWN has partnered with “The Huffington Post” to create a dedicated section on its website, huffingtonpost.com, which will launch in August. The specialty section will be a venue for stories from the same people churning out content under Winfrey’s umbrella, such as the writers behind Oprah.com and producers of OWN’s original programs. It’ll also create an opportunity for “The Huffington Post’s” vast community of bloggers to discuss Oprah.com subjects. “We are thrilled to partner with Oprah Winfrey and OWN,” said Arianna Huffington, the president and editor-in-chief of the online news

source. “Oprah was about engagement and authenticity long before engagement and authenticity ruled the web. And since those qualities are deeply embedded in the DNA of both OWN and HuffPost, I’m delighted that we’ll be working together to enlarge the conversation on living our best lives -- as Oprah puts it -- just as we launch our GPS for the Soul app.” The section will feature everything from articles to blogs and interactive content about such things as personal growth, spirituality and health as a way for Winfrey’s fans to have even more tools to help them live happy lives as the best people they can be.

Cookingthisweek FRIDAY

Back-to-back encores dominate Fourth of July lineup TV Media

hile many will be participating in Fourth of July celebrations, others might be taking advantage of the midweek holiday to enjoy on a little well-deserved rest and relaxation. And, not unlike Memorial Day, TV lineups that day are catering to those who might be opting to stay in or who can’t make it out to some of the festivities. NBC is offering coverage of the “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” host Guy Fieri “Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks” in New York while CBS is in Boston with its coverage of the Boston Pops celebration. For those looking for a little less fanfare, TCM’s film lineup features patriots from the American Revolutionary while AMC has patriots from a different war -- one that is both intergalactic and fictional but every bit as paBella Casa triotic -- in “Independence Day.” Elsewhere, marathons are a 3 x 3” popular option for many station programmers, and the Food Network is no exception – it has lined up three full days of marathons leading into the weekend. The action kicks off on Independence Day, with seven full hours of the ever-popular “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.” Guy Fieri’s cross-country road trip includes a few stops tire wedding using food items son 2 set to kick off in August, along the historic Route 66 in two found in a 99 Cents store. viewers who missed it the first episodes that follow him from Chi- time can get acquainted with the And finally on Friday, July 6, cago to Arizona, as he samples Food will feature eight full hours of series by tuning in to Season 1’s chicken-fried ahi tuna and home“Chopped” episodes.

NHL unleashes freeagent frenzy on July 1 By Joel Duplessis TV Media

he Los Angeles Kings recently capped off one of the most improbable playoff runs in NHL history, and as fans in L.A. celebrate their victory, the rest of the league is turning their attention to the off-season. This week marks the beginning of the annual roster shakeups that accompany the July 1 free-agent frenzy, as a number of highpriced players are poised to change teams in the coming weeks. This time of year is ripe with speculation and guesswork as front offices around the league scramble to sign key pieces to their rosters. Traditionally, July 1 is a day for many players to sign new contracts, setting the market for bigger name free agents to sign soon after. Last year, it was Brad Richards who topped the list of blue-chip free agents. He ended up signing with the New York Rangers and excelled on Broadway, helping the Rangers win a division title 4:00 p.m. (38) ESPN NFL Live (Live) (1:00)

and reach the Eastern Conference Final. This year it’s Ryan Suter and Zach Parise who top the shopping list for GMs looking to make a splash in the free-agent waters. Parise, 27, captained the New Jersey Devils to Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals and is in the prime of his career. The feisty winger has notched five 30-goal seasons while also playing a defensively responsible game. Although the Devils would love to re-sign him, it appears that ownership may not be able to meet his hefty price tag. Parise will be the most sought after free agent and the bidding war will likely force one GM to overpay for his services. Meanwhile, the Nashville Predators will have a difficult time bringing Suter back to Music City. The 27-year-old rearguard is an elite passer and power-play quarterback who also brings leadership to the dressing room. Suter tops the list of free-agent defensemen and will be rewarded with a raise from the $3.5 million he earned last season. (3:00)
