Zombies, ghosts and monsters will invade the City of Jamestown next weekend when the third annual Jamestown Paranormal Convention is held, giving fans of the paranormal an opportunity to contribute to a unique fundraiser for severely ill children. Anyone interested in learning more about experiences that lie outside the range of normal experience or scientific explanation or indicate phenomena understood to be outside of science's current ability to explain or measure are encouraged to attend the one-day convention, set to take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Reg Lenna Center For The Arts, located at 116 East Third Street in Jamestown. There will be a wide variety of activities, including guest lectures, informational displays and face painting for children, with the "Para Con" as it is commonly referred as by organizers offering opportunities to embrace the unknown and fantasy world of paranormal activity.
7534 ROUTE 380, STOCKTON, NY
"We get together and enjoy ourselves and really have a good time," says Mike Pollaro, one of the coordinators of the annual event. "This is a chance for people to come out and learn a few things and get a chance to meet and talk to some of the people who walk around in the dark and have experienced and study paranormal activities and behavior.” The scheduled guest speakers will each focus on a specific topic that is sure to generate interest and discussion amongst convention attendees. This year’s speakers are: - Karlyn Dolan, who will discuss spirits and aliens
- Daniel Hooven, who will speak about spirits and ghosts and documented encounters with them - Steve Kulls, who is a Bigfoot researcher - Michael Lee Hill, who is a UFO researcher - Don Traynor, who will speak on investigating reported ghost sightings based on his work with the Fredonia Ghost Hunters organization “We think we have a great slate of speakers and we have found some wonderful people from the different ghost hunting groups and those who are really into investigating and research-
ing Bigfoot and UFO sightings,” said Pollaro. “We also ask the public to bring any photographs or other evidence they have so when there is time they can share those materials and ask questions and get expert opinions from our panel.” In addition to the guest lectures, there will be approximately a dozen paranormal groups manning information booths that will be packed with educational materials and other items of interest about paranormal activity that has been documented throughout Chautauqua County and beyond our region.

dence from England, an event which eventually led to the formation of the United States. Each year on July 4th, also known as Independence Day, Americans celebrate this historic event. Conflict between the colonies and England was already a year old when the colonies convened a Continental Congress in Philadelphia in the summer of 1776. In a June 7 session in the Pennsylvania State House (later Independence Hall), Richard Henry Lee of Virginia presented a resolution with the famous words: "Resolved: That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved." Lee's words were the impetus for the drafting of a formal Declaration of Independence, although the resolution
was not followed up on immediately. On June 11, consideration of the resolution was postponed by a vote of seven colonies to five, with New York abstaining. However, a Committee of Five was appointed to draft a statement presenting to the world the colonies' case for independence. Members of the Committee included John Adams of Massachusetts, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, Robert R. Livingston of New York and Thomas Jefferson of Virginia. The task of drafting the actual document fell on Jefferson. On July 1, 1776, the Continental Congress reconvened, and on the following day, the Lee Resolution for independence was adopted by 12 of the 13 colonies, New York not voting. Discussions of Jefferson's Declaration of Independence resulted in some minor changes, but the spirit of the document was unchanged. The process of revision
continued through all of July 3 and into the late afternoon of July 4, when the Declaration was officially adopted. Of the 13 colonies, nine voted in favor of the Declaration, two -Pennsylvania and South Carolina -- voted No, Delaware was undecided and New York abstained. John Hancock, President of the Continental Congress, signed the Declaration of Independence. It is said that John Hancock's signed his name "with a great flourish" so England's "King George can read that without spectacles!" Today, the original copy of the Declaration is housed in the National Archives in Washington, D.C., and July 4 has been designated a national holiday to commemorate the day the United States laid down its claim to be a free and independent nation.

A First Birthday fit for a Drew By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
Very recently we celebrated the first birthday of the littlest man in our house, Andrew. Although I thrive on planning birthday parties and get-togethers at our house, his birthday kind of snuck up on me. I think some of it was denial that our 'baby' was already turning one, the rest of it was just thinking I had more time than I really did, convincing myself that the first day of summer was a long ways away. Well I don't know about you, but this summer sure came up quick. Not in a bad way of course, but this spring went by much quicker than I expected it to. All of a sudden we were three weeks away from June 21 and I had not a single plan. There were a couple random Pinterest ideas I had, and we had considered going with a 'Very Hungry Caterpillar' theme, but that was it. We knew it would be on his birthday, since his birthday fell on a Saturday, and we knew it would be in our backyard with cake. As important as all of those details are, there are quite a few other
ingredients to throwing a birthday party. Then the proverbial lightbulb went off. I realized that it was perfectly fine that we didn't have some fancy theme. What was this birthday party about, anyways? Andrew; and celebrating his first year of life. Not some book that he will sometimes sit and look at, or some TV show that calms him down and entertains him, but about how special he is, and the joy that he brings to our lives. Just to clarify, I have nothing wrong with 'theme' parties. Theme parties are tons of fun, especially for older kids who can voice exactly what it is they enjoy. I just think that birthdays can easily become far more complicated than what they need to be. Andrew became the theme of his own birthday party. We picked bright boy colors (in colors that could easily be used again for his brother,) and decorated with '1's' and the birthday boy himself. We ordered some round stickers with some of our favorite pictures of him during his first year, and used those to decorate. These were used in several different ways to
decorate the party and make it more personal. I could go on and on about the details, but a picture is worth a thousand words, right? Before I add all these pictures, I need to give photo credit to our friend Amanda from Photography by Amanda. Her website is bracyphoto.com. She took all of the pictures from Andrew's party and did an awesome job of capturing all the details! One of the uses for our stickers was on our party favors. Those are baby food jars (thoroughly cleaned by our dishwasher) filled with animal crackers, which are one of Drew's favorite foods. The larger picture behind him was filled with details of his first year, his nicknames, and 'baby stats,' such as his current height and weight, and the number of teeth he has. With the help of my husband, I crafted this using Photoshop one night after our boys went to bed. Newborn pictures of our Drew-bug hugged all of our plastic-ware, ready to be used by our guests. The remaining stickers were put on toothpicks, and adorned

lemon-blueberry and chocolate-raspberry cupcakes, along with Andrew's own little lemon-blueberry cake to dig into. The flavors of the cupcakes had everything to do with our little
one year old as well. His favorite foods of all time are blueberries and raspberries. These are all the details we have time for today, but i feel like this wouldn't be complete without a picture of the
birthday boy! He completely demolished that cake you just saw a few seconds ago. Stay tuned for more birthday next week! As always, thanks for reading and happy homemaking!

Recognition Of Jamestown’s Best Gardens Set For July
Contributed Article JRC
Jamestown’s front yard gardens are in full bloom, filling neighborhoods with eye-catching colors. To acknowledge the value that these gardens and their caretakers add to the city, the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation ( JRC) is continuing the GROW Jamestown Front Garden Recognition Program for a fourth straight year. Unlike the open nomination process used in the past, this year’s program will feature teams of volunteers canvassing every street in the city to identify gardens that are colorful, well-tended, and that set a high standard for their corner of the city. Every garden chosen by the volunteers will receive a complimentary GROW Jamestown garden sign. Canvassing will begin on July 7 and conclude by July 27.
Over 60 volunteers will canvass Jamestown streets in July to distribute small garden signs to the city’s best gardens.
“Attractive gardens take time and effort, but they add tremendously to the appearance of homes and entire neighborhoods,” said Mary Maxwell, Neighborhood Project
Associate at the JRC, noting that the program stems from recommendations in the city’s neighborhood revitalization plan. “It’s a signal that people care about their homes

and neighborhoods, and it sends a powerful message to neighbors and visitors,” she added. The program is a part of ‘GROW Jamestown,’ a city-wide initiative that promotes gardening as a tool for neighborhood revitalization, healthy living, civic engagement, and the productive reuse of vacant land. Other GROW Jamestown projects include community gardens and an annual Garden Fair in March. “This year’s program is possible because of over 60 volunteers who will scour the city to find great gardens. Their interest in devoting spare summer time to this project shows the level of enthusiasm that people have for gardening and celebrating Jamestown’s beauty,” said Maxwell.

downtown section of the city. If code violations are found by the inspection staff at any given property, they are noted on the inspection checklist and shortly thereafter, a courtesy letter describing each violation is sent to the owner with a time frame to have them corrected. If those receiving a letter fail to correct the issues cited within that time frame, the DOD staff will issue a formal Notice of Violation or an appearance ticket for Jamestown City Court. The program is in response to what the majority of residents have expressed over the last several years that they are tired of living with dilapidated houses in their neighborhoods and want something done to help eliminate the problems they cause. By inspect-
ing every dwelling on a door-to-door basis, code enforcement staff will not have to wait for a formal complaint to be filed, which is required by law. “We can act quickly to cite an owner for their property’s deficiencies and hopefully get them corrected before additional legal action needs to be taken. It also doesn’t matter what street in the city you live on, from the best to the worst, every property is reviewed equally,” said DeJoy. Violations that inspectors will be looking for include unregistered vehicles, boats or trailers, vehicles and boats parked in front yards, peeling paint, damaged siding material, interior-type furniture, appliances, yard waste, junk, garbage and debris on porches and in yards,
long grass and weeds, overgrown shrubbery, deteriorated roofs, porches, steps, hand railings, fencing, concrete stairs, walkways, driveways, broken glass, rotted windows and doors, damaged gutters, swimming pools over 24 inches in height without proper fencing, gates, pool alarms, etc. In extreme situations where the condition of the exterior is in extremely poor condition and that it is suspected there may be serious interior problems, inspectors can request a search warrant from Jamestown City Court to perform an interior inspection. If there are questions about the Neighborhood Impact Inspection Program, contact the Department of Development at 483-7541.

the Lawson Center Raffles original Art
Contributed Article Jamestown burned The Lawson Center
The Lawson Center, in Bemus Point, has been given a beautiful water-color painting of the “Jamestown” steamboat, which can be won by some lucky person who enters their fund-raising raffle. By far the largest and most famous steamboat on Chautauqua Lake was the three-deck , stern-wheeler Jamestown. Built in 1875 as the Nettie Fox, a two-deck boat, she was rebuilt with a fourth deck 19 1878 and renamed the Jamestown. A distinctly river type of steamer, she was said to have a capacity of 3,000 people. The first deck contained a restaurant and the grand staircase; the second deck had two staterooms, cabins for ladies, a ticket office, and a refreshment stand. The new third deck was entirely clear for dancing. Because of her great size, the
a lot of coal, had a large crew, was hard to maneuver at the docks, and difficult to steer through the Outlet. Nevertheless, she could handle large crowds and served as a picnic and excursion boat until she burned at the Jamestown dock in October 1892. The artist, Lisa Daniels of Dallas Texas, professionally paints portraits of classic cars and wooden boats. Lisa works in both watercolor and acrylic; however she is also well known for her many projects in pencil, pen, and stained glass. Her works can be found in galleries, restaurants, auto dealerships, and private collections, as well as the Rolls-Royce Owners Club Headquarters in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. She became fascinated by the efforts of The Lawson Center to preserve and display boating memorabilia and was particularly taken with

the unique steamboat fleet that operated on Chautauqua Lake. Asked about this fund-raiser, Dave Bargar, Trustee of The Lawson Center, commented that “a TLC patron commissioned the painting from Ms. Daniels and donated it to The Lawson Center specifically for the raffle. The original painting is on display at the Center. We also have a supply of small and large signed and numbered prints of the painting that are available for sale at the Lawson Center Museum Shop.” People interested in seeing the painting or buying raffle tickets can do so at The Lawson Center, 73 Lakeside Dr, Bemus Point. The museum is open to the public on Wednesdays, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays noon to 5 p.m. The drawing for the winner will take place on LaborDay.

Cassadaga Job Corps selected JCC will Be tobacco-Free on August 1 For increase in students And of JCC’s tobacco-free limited to cigarettes, cinew training program policy is to improve gars, hookah smoked Contributed Article JCC
Contributed Article Cassadaga Job Corps
The National Office of Job Corps has recently announced that the Cassadaga Job Corps Academy will be among the Job Corps campuses chosen across the country to increase its student population; known in Job Corps as on board strength or OBS. The increase will result in the enrollment of 30 additional students at the Academy. In order to fully serve these new young men and women the Academy will also need to bring on board a new career training program. After careful consideration and research the Academy has chosen to move forward with a Security and Protective Services training program. Academy Director Ann Anderson stated “I am very proud that the National and Regional Office of Job Corps have recognized Cassadaga’s strong performance over the years and as a result have awarded us with 30 additional students.” The announcement from the National Office on the OBS increase comes after months of planning and determining criteria that would be used to decide which Job Corps campuses would be selected for the additional students. The
National Office finally determined they would propose an increase for Job Corps centers that were performing in the top half of the 125 Centers across the country, based on three years of performance data. In addition the Center’s selected needed to demonstrate the new students would be placed in a career training program that would result in opportunities for career growth. During last year’s federal budgetary struggles and sequestration, all Job Corps centers had the populations they served reduced by about 20%. The Security and Protective services training program will be a fi rst time offering for the Cassadaga campus, and offers a training program outside the traditional construction and healthcare programs that have been offered there. Robert Benjamin, career development director said “we are very excited to be offering the Security program at Cassadaga. We feel it presents numerous opportunities for students to secure jobs and explore potential career paths in a variety of areas including law enforcement, video surveillance, private security work and others.” He went on to say “this new offering will also provide a pool of candidates for our College program
as well, for those that wish to go to the next level and pursue a degree in criminal justice.” Topics included in the courses curriculum include legal aspects of security and protective services, crisis intervention, alarm systems and dispatch centers, crime scene procedures, interview and interrogation techniques, computer and IT security, as well as much more. The Academy is currently seeking an instructor and preparing materials and the classroom which will be utilized. Interested applicants are encouraged to contact the admissions office to express their interest and begin their application. The Cassadaga Job Corps Academy provides career training to young people, age 16-24. Students must be committed to a rigorous, hands-on training process and demonstrate their ability to meet the high expectations set by the Academy. All students attend at no-cost, and may enroll as either a residential or non-residential student. For more information, to arrange a tour, or to obtain an application please call Mike Pietrkiewicz at 716-595-4298, by email to Pietrkiewicz. mike@jobcorps.org or on the web at http:// cassadaga.jobcorps.gov.

The most recent class from the Erie 2 BOCES School of Practical Nursing at the Cassadaga Job Corps celebrated the conclusion of their year long training program on Tuesday afternoon. The graduates began their journey last July as they gathered at the Cassadaga Job Corps from as close by as Fredonia and as far away as California and Puerto Rico.

for students to attend as well as supportive services and residential services for most of those enrolled. Graduates will now begin final preparations for their licensing exams. Many will begin or return to working in healthcare facilities in a variety of roles, until they pass the exam and the license arrives at which time they will begin working as Nurses. Several student awards were given out to recognize extraordinary efforts. The class Valedictorian was Sumaiya Mukooza. The class Salutatorian was Brittany Senko. Other recognition included; Work of Heart awarded to Chasity Pierce; Outstanding Bedside Nurse awarded to Annisha Singho-Scott; Star of Life Award given to Sumaiya Mukooza and the Most Improved was awarded to Kristine Utegg.
Addressing the class as keynote speaker was Dr. LaTroy Navaroli, owner of Navaroli Medical, specializing in wound care. She shared advice and tips on what other nurses wished they had known entering their field. She emphasized “you need to accept you will make some errors along the way, and that you need to learn from them, but forgive yourself. All people make mistakes, you need to accept that and let it go.” Other students addressing the class included Class President Dwayne Abbott and Valedictorian Sumaiya Mukooza. Also included in the commencement was a special video montage prepared by Jade Mosley, with photos taken by her classmates throughout the year. During the video the graduates gave special thanks to BOCES, Job Corps and espe-
cially their instructors Marilyn Spitzer, Terrie Bowen, Dottie Lauricella, Julie Spears, Annette Reynolds and Ruth Sipp. Academy Director Ann Anderson concluded the program by discussing how important a nurse or caregiver can be, especially as a person approaches the end of their life. She asked them to take that responsibility seriously and remember they can be a difference maker for someone who needs them. There are two concurrent LPN classes at the Cassadaga Job Corps Academy. A new class will begin in July and then the admission process will begin again for the spring 2015 class.

Heading to the Heron By Matt Wisniewski Contributing Writer
To many people of the Chautauqua County region, July 4th has come to represent more than patriotism and fi reworks. For the last twentytwo years, Sherman, NY has been host to The Great Blue Heron Music Festival, a weekend long camping event that highlights roots music, blues, funk, reggae, world music, jam, bluegrass, and many more (mostly American) genres. The festival originally started as a single-day event and featured Donna the Buffalo, who is a staple at the Blue Heron and many other festivals across the Northeast. The event brings thousands of music fans every year from the Buffalo, Chautauqua County and beyond. This year's Great Blue Heron features festival favorites Donna the Buffalo, The Horse Flies and The Town Pants, who recently threw
Music Festival. Many festivals are held at an area where people are skeptical about camping for the weekend. The Heron is held on beautiful wooded property that features hiking and biking trails, along with supervised swimming. With three tents jam-packed with music, you might think that the festival-goer is merely a spectator at the Heron. But that's not entirely the case, given that the festival is offering a number of instrumental workshops, dance lessons, and activities for both children and teens. The Great Blue Heron is one of the most successful and longestrunning events in the region, so if you're a lover of the outdoors or The Grape Escape Festival at look forward to it all winter long, live music, this isn't something you Willow Creek Winery.

family church Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org
Dear Pastor, does prayer really work? The entirety of your relationship with God depends upon the answer to your question. There are many scriptures in the Bible that tell us that prayer works, but I can also attest by my own experiences and others about many instances or testimonies of the power of prayer. Having your prayers answered is a wonderful way to see good things happen, supernaturally! Let’s look in the Bible and see that we can have confidence that our prayers will be answered. One of my favorite scriptures about why God desires to answer your prayers is what Jesus said in Matthew 7:711, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8) For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9) Or what man is there among you who, if

is hurting people. I myself am the pastor of what you could call a “charismatic” full Gospel church. I believe in and desire the gifts of the Spirit. My goal is not to point fingers and be divisive. My goal is to be a man of truth with sound balanced Bible teaching. Balanced Bible teaching keeps people safe and away from trouble. The term prophecy means to “speak forth or speak on the behalf of another.” The Gift of Prophecy that I am talking about includes what a Christian might be inspired to say to others. Prophecy is simply speaking on the behalf of God. Prophecy in the New Testament is simply defi ned in 1 Corinthians 14:3. It says, “But he that prophesies speaks unto men to EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION, AND COMFORT.” Notice in the Biblical defi nition of New Testament prophecy that it says nothing about speaking to men to predict and foretell events. Now you’re probably saying to yourself, “But I read the Bible and many people in the Bible are used to tell the future.” That is true but we need to know some things first. First every believer must understand the
difference between Old Testament prophecy and New Testament prophecy. In the Old Testament the Jews were not Born-Again like believers are today. The Bible says that the Israelites did not have the Holy Spirit residing in them. God would anoint a man to be a prophet, and speak on His behalf to lead them. Prophecy would lead these people and grab their attention so they would stop disobeying God. Things changed in the New Testament. When you asked Jesus into your heart you received the Spirit of God to lead and guide you. Romans 8:14 says, “For as many that are LED BY THE SPIRIT are the sons of God.” You are not led by a prophet today. Prophets still exist but that doesn’t mean they are going to tell you what to do. Many people today are running out to these “prophesying meetings” to get a “word” from God. You should hear from God for yourself first. I cannot tell you how many people that have come to me because they obeyed some prophecy and it hurt their lives. First things first: Learn to hear the voice of God for yourself.

Late Blight Found in western n.y. LATE BLIGHT FOUND IN ERIE COUNTY AND LONG ISLAND, GROWERS SHOULD BE ON ALERT
For
Contributed Article Cornell Cooperative Extension Oneida County
Those of you that grow tomatoes are familiar with Late Blight and the devastation farmers and homeowner have suffered from over the past few years. Reports have just come through stating that it has been found in Erie County and Long Island. Last year the first confirmed case of late blight in Oneida County was July 10th. Armed with this knowledge homeowners might want to start a fungicide treatment now. Late blight is a highly contagious air borne disease that caused the Great Potato Famine in the 1800’s and wiped out much of 2009’s tomato crop. The cool, damp weather provides the perfect environment for the disease to take hold and spread quickly. Late blight does not survive in the soil. It can however, overwinter on diseased potatoes that may have been left in the ground or fresh spores can stick to clothing, hands, or tools. Large quarter size spots may appear on the leaves or the stems of both tomato and potato. Infected plants may look fine one day and be dead three days later. Once the disease takes hold there is no cure. Below is a partial list of some fungicides that contain the chemical CHLOROTHALONIL. Follow the manufac-

Area Farmer’s Markets turer’s suggestions for rates and frequency. Unfortunately organic products containing copper have not proven to be highly effective against Late Blight. Bonide Fung-onil Multi-purpose Fungicide: EPA Reg # 4-410, Bonide Fung-onil Multipurpose Fungicide Concentrate: EPA Reg # 60063-9-4, Fruit Tree, Vegetable & Ornamental Fungicide: EPA Reg # 600639-54705, Garden Disease Control Concentrate – Ortho Group: EPA Reg # 239-2522, Gardentech Daconil Fungicide Concentrate:EPA Reg # 67572-82-71004, or Gardentech Daconil Fungicide RTU: EPA Reg # 67572-2-71004 If you suspect Late Blight do not take infected plant parts to local nurseries as this may contaminate their crops. If you do have Late Blight immediate attention is required.
To prevent the spread of the disease all parts of the plant, including fruit should be bagged and sent to the landfi ll. Do not compost and do not burn. That would release the spores into the air causing greater contamination (spores can travel several miles via the wind). Some Tomato varieties are reportedly resistant to Late Blight. These include: Mountain Magic, Plum Regal, Legend and Iron Lady.

Summer: six tiny letters that conjure memories of catching firefl ies at dusk, barbeques, running barefoot through the sprinkler and last but not least -- vacation. We all need time to relax and create new summertime moments, but there are a few things that every savvy traveler should keep in mind, to reach their summer paradise.
Create a Vacation Budget
Summer travel can be costly thanks to rising hotel prices and airfares that have increased six percent in the last twelve months according to AAA. However, it doesn’t have to be. Evade stress by planning your budget, driving to avoid inflated airfare, setting a daily cash allowance, and eating at local establishments rather than pricier hotel restaurants. Whatever your plans, worrying about expenses should not be part of the itinerary.
Find Last-Minute Savings
Choose Your Destination
One of the most important decisions to make when planning summer travel is location, location, location! Your travel companions are the most important factor when choosing a destination.

Ford Lowers MPG Ratings For 6 U.S. Models
Contributed Article "Ford is absolutely Auto Trader
• Ford identified an error with fuel economy ratings, worked with EPA to retest vehicles • Fiesta, Fusion Hybrid and Energi, C-MAX and MKZ hybrid affected • Automaker will make goodwill payments to affected owners After an internal audit, Ford Motor Company is reducing the fuel economy estimates for six of its 2013 and 2014 models, including the Fiesta, Fusion Hybrid, Fusion Energi, C-MAX Hybrid, C-MAX Energi and Lincoln MKZ hybrid. The mileage on most labels will decrease by one to five miles per gallon. However, the Lincoln MKZ hybrid will undergo the largest drop, as its combined fuel economy will go down by seven mpg, from 45 mpg to 38 mpg. Once Ford identified the errors, the automaker contacted the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The organizations worked together to retest the vehicles and correct the fuel economy ratings for each of the affected models.

We also are taking steps to improve our processes and prevent issues like this from happening again." The automaker will compensate approximately 200,000 U.S. buyers with payments of between $125 and $1,050 to make up the difference between the estimated average fuel cost of the previous fuel economy ratings and the revised ratings. Here's a breakdown of each vehicle with its new and previous mileage (city/ highway/combined): • 2014 Fiesta • 1.0L Manual Transmission -- Previous rating: 32/45/37; Revised rating: 31/43/36 • 1.6L Automatic Transmission -- Previous rating: 29/39/32; Revised rating: 27/37/21 • 1.6L SFE Automatic Transmission -- Previous rating: 30/41/34; Revised rating: 28/38/32 • 1.6L Manual Transmission -- Previous rating: 27/38/31; Re-

A limited number of spaces ($375 per golfer) are currently available for individuals and foursomes interested in golfing. As in years past, LINKS Charity anticipates a full field for this popular golf tournament. Later that evening, the “LINKing Together” Banquet & Auction will begin at 6:00 p.m. Seats are available for this special event ($50 per person) featuring the ever-popular LINKS Auction, dinner provided by Moon Brook Country Club, and musical entertainment from Serendipity, an eight woman a capella singing ensemble.

what to Look For in A Retirement Community
Contributed Article Shannon Hall
Many baby boomers have started to retire or have begun thinking about their future plans for retirement. While some may be reluctant to make the move into a retirement community, government findings show that 7 out of 10 Americans over the age of 65 will need some form of assisted care in their lifetime.* It’s important to keep the reality of long-term care in mind when making the decision of whether to become a retirement community resident. The next step is finding a retirement community that will improve the quality of your life and cater to your needs. Here are a few key features to look for in a retirement community that will make your stay comfortable and pleasing: 1. Spacious living area. Many retirees are hesitant to move into a retirement home in dissatisfaction of the idea of downsizing from
their current home. A living space with plenty of room for storage and having company will make you feel more at home. 2. High-speed Internet access. The common perception that older adults don’t use the Internet is no longer valid. A research study conducted by Google and Ipsos found
that 78% of boomers are engaging with online content on a daily basis. Older retirement communities may have outdated systems that don’t provide high-speed wireless internet, which isn’t ideal for tech-savvy boomers. 3. Proximity. The closer you are to the general community, the better.
This way you can still be a part of your old community and be closer to family and friends. The older you get, the more difficult it will be to travel so provided transportation is also a must. 4. Environmental friendly. Efforts to go green by the retirement community will be of great benefit to both you and future generations. Practicing sustainability shows the community cares about the environment, which is a desirable quality. 5. Recreational activities. While everyone’s level of activeness varies, having activities available in the community, both physical and social, will bring value and happiness to your life. Research shows those who are regularly active improve their chances of living longer than those who are not.* If you fi nd a retirement community that includes all, if not most, of these things then it should be a great place to spend the rest of your life relaxing and enjoying yourself.

CASSADAGA COUNTRY CLUB MAKING BIG CHANGES TO NOS. 8 & 9 Social Media
By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
For golfers that love a long par 5 and are frustrated by borderline cruel greens, it’s time to rejoice. Changes are coming to Cassadaga Country Club. The eighth hole is currently a 200-yard, uphill par 3 that ends with one of the most devastatingly difficult greens this reporter has ever seen. It’s a problem every golfer experiences when playing a round at CCC. “Number 8 green is not exactly the easiest of greens,” club pro Steve Wintersteen agreed. “There’s only one or two places on the green where I can put a fair cup. You should be rewarded for a lot of the shots that you’re not rewarded for. It can make or break a lot of club championships and tournaments.” No. 8 is being changed to a roughly 400-yard, dogleg left that will finish going steeply uphill and should play closer to 450 yards. Also being changed is the current par-5 ninth hole. It’s a relatively short par 5 that even adequate golfers can reach the green in two shots (Note: this reporter’s only career eagle came on this hole). There’s a creek that threatens to gobble up shorter drives, but the green is realistically reachable even with a good lay-up shot.

The future site of the No. 8 green at Cassadaga Country Club is very much a work in progress at the moment, but promises to drastically improve the course when finished. (Photo by Stefan Gestwicki)
That, however, is going to change. The tee box for No. 9 is going to be pushed back anywhere from 150-175 yards according to Wintersteen. It will also make it somewhat of a straighter hole instead of the dogleg left that exists currently. “It will take away anyone even thinking about hitting over the creek,” he added. “No one is going to hit over the creek from that tee box.” The work that has been accomplished already is somewhat astonishing. Trees have been cleared. Ground has been leveled. Stumps have been removed. “D.J. Harrington is doing all the excavating,” Wintersteen noted. “They’re up
there ripping out stumps and getting it ready for grass seed. He still has grading to level off the top. I cut down 400 trees in three months so there’s a few stumps up there to take up.” While it’s difficult to put an exact time table on the project, Wintersteen was hopeful that it’d be completed within two years. “I started on the 23rd of December last year,” he said. “I said it was going to be a two-year plan. If it’s not two years, then it’ll be done when it’s done. I’m not going to rush it, but hopefully I’ll be able to start planting grass this summer or early fall.” One thing is certain: golf-
ers are excited about the changes. “The members are very excited,” Wintersteen said. “It’s a change. There have been so many things that have been exactly the same for 100 years now. We’re going to make all these improvements to the course. They still might complain that the hole is only 400 yards, but it will probably play 460 because it’s all uphill. But they certainly won’t have to complain about the green.” For information on leagues, open golf and tournaments at Cassadaga Country Club, be sure to visit cassadagacountryclub.com and follow the club on Facebook.

COMMENTARY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 24 I thoroughly enjoy this game even when it still doesn’t make much sense. I mean, think about it. The game is supposed to be a scrimmage yet determines home-field advantage for the World Series. So theoretically we could see Anthony Rizzo of the last-place Chicago Cubs at the plate against Phil Hughes of the putrid Minnesota Twins with home-field advantage on the line. That makes a ton of sense. Oh, and fans get to stuff the ballot box to make sure the most deserving players don’t actually start. Yeah, it all makes perfect sense. But anyway, I love the game. Being able to watch guys like Troy Tulowitzki and Yoenis Cespedes in prime time is amazing. Those guys don’t exactly get a ton of TV time here on the East Coast. But rest assured, there will definitely be an undeserving All Star or two on this year’s rosters, just like there always is. There have been plenty of terrible All Stars throughout the years, but who are the absolute worst? Let’s take a look, shall we? Eddie Smith, 1942:
This was during World War II when many players were serving in the military, so the game as a whole wasn’t exactly at its peak. That said, Smith actually led the league in losses this season and sported a 2-12 record at the end of June. This was even back when win-loss record was the be-all, end-all stat for pitchers. Eddie Miller, 1946: I hate to pick on guys named ‘Eddie’ from the WWII era, but Miller was hitting .185 when he was selected. I mean, even for a shortstop in those days that’s just abysmal. Yet Miller will forever be in the All-Star brotherhood. Eddie Yost, 1952: Okay, one more ‘Eddie’ and then I promise I’m done. But I couldn’t ignore the fact that this guy was the third third baseman selected to the All-Star Team and was hitting a robust .192. Yeah. Don Leppert, 1963: So his .259 batting average isn’t all that bad, right? So how could he belong on this list? It’s because of this: Leppert played in just 40 games through June in 1963. That’d be like Gregory Polanco being named
one of my all-time favorites. But when you’re hitting .200 in June and finish the year at .217, no home runs and average to below-average defense, you probably shouldn’t get named to the Mid-Summer Classic. Roger Pavlik, 1996: For people that still think win-loss record matters, consider the case of Pavlik. At the halfway mark, Pavlik sat at 10-2 Former Pittsburgh Pirates closer Mike Williams is for the first-place Texas probably the worst All Star of all time. (AP Photo/ Rangers. But wait, Gene Puskar) what’s with that 5.16 an All-Star this year. Steve Rogers, 1974: ERA? Oh, that’s right. Here’s another guy that He was Roger Pavlik.

Redman sported a 5-4 record with a 5.35 ERA in June with (shield your eyes) 30 walks and 25 strikeouts. Momma pajama. Derek Jeter, 2014: I’m just assuming Jeter gets the nod here. Listen, Jeter is a legend. I certainly can’t say anything too bad about a guy with five World Series rings and a certain Hall-of-Fame career, but he’s now playing like a 40-year old shortstop. Even as I say that he’ll be an undeserving All Star, I’m excited to see him honored at this year’s game.

D i a ry FOUR MISSED BIRDIE PUTTS
Golfer's
By Stefan Gestwicki afterwards. Please email thanks to the junior golf Star Sports Editor
The Golfer’s Diary is a weekly column for golf lovers. I am entering my third season as a golfer, so I’m not sure I totally qualify as a novice anymore, but I’ll discuss different courses, weather effects, new equipment and more relating to the game we love. Before I start with the Golfer’s Diary, I want to invite readers to the charity golf tournament that I’ve spent the past six months planning. It will benefit Northern Chautauqua Catholic School in Dunkirk. The four-person scramble will be held at Cassadaga Country Club on Saturday, July 19. I’ve received some amazing donations from local businesses and some incredible items from professional sports teams. The cost is $65 per golfer and includes 18 holes of golf, cart rental, lunch at the turn and a buffet dinner
me at stefan.gestwicki@ star-mediagroup.com for more information or to register. Thank you. And now, your weekly Golfer’s Diary: I’ve been trying and trying to look at this from a glass-half-full perspective, but it’s quite difficult. In my most recent round (9 holes) at Cassadaga Country Club, I missed four birdie putts. Admittedly, three of them were very difficult and I probably wouldn’t make any of them if I had a second or even third attempt at it, but it was still a bit frustrating. Of course, I didn’t do myself any favors by turning three of those potential birdies into bogeys. Who doesn’t love a good three putt? Looking at my scorecard now, it doesn’t look too bad, but my final score of 47 isn’t anything to write home about. Perhaps the problem is that we had to start on No. 3
program and that kind of threw me off. First off, No. 3 is probably the third-hardest hole on the course behind Nos. 7 and 8. Without being able to use the practice green at all and without playing the relatively easy Nos. 1 and 2, I was very worried that I would just butcher No. 3. Well the only thing I butchered was a tap-in par putt. I got lazy, pushed it to the right and took a bogey. Usually a bogey is pretty standard for me on this hole, but when it comes because of a very easy miss, it’s tough to write the ‘5’ on the scorecard. Now that I’m thinking back, the putter was seriously not my friend for this round. Take No. 6 for instance. I had a pretty nice shot off the tee and landed just off the right edge of the green in the fringe. I putted from there because a pitch would have been risky. After
got news?
getting it pretty close for a par putt, I again pushed it right and took a bogey. Basically on the green in one shot and end with a bogey. That’s always a tough pill to swallow. Then there was No. 9. I got exceptionally lucky off of the tee. I can usually drive over the creek, so obviously I was going for it, but I didn’t quite catch the sweet spot of the driver and I knew the ball was going to come up short. It was going straight as an arrow, but landed and rolled towards the creek. I just assumed I’d be taking a drop because the ground is pretty hard over there and the ball can roll forever. When we made the long walk down the hill, there was my ball sitting nicely 10 inches from falling over the side and into the water. From there I was able to hit a nice iron and chip onto the green for a look at birdie.
What happened next is more than slightly embarrassing. I legitimately four putted my way to a double bogey. That’s four putts. Four. I’m still kind of in disbelief that it happened at all. To be fair, I couldn’t have been further from the pin with my birdie putt, but I totally misread the putt and ended up way, way short. I then hit another weak one before lipping out on my bogey putt. I just stared at the cup holding back tears. Getting to finish on Nos. 1 & 2 was nice, though. My drives weren’t great, but I hit nice irons and ended up bogeying both of them. Actually I got to hit out of the sand on No. 2, which normally I’d be upset about but it’s happened so rarely this year that I was actually slightly excited about it. I had one very memorable shot for the round and it came on No. 8. Mark’s second shot
landed in the sand and I realized that I hadn’t hit out of the sand all year, so I just dropped a spare ball in the bunker and hit a practice shot. The result? How about within a foot of the pin on the hardest green imaginable? Of course, shots are always easier when they don’t count for anything. If anyone has a tournament that they’d like covered (or are looking for players for) please send me the information. I truly enjoy covering charity events and spreading the word for a good cause. Mark, Bryan and I are also looking for a scramble to play in, preferably in August, so let me know. Thank you. As always, golf is great. Go get yourself some.

Fredonia names two Head Coaches, Athletic trainer Contributed Article FSU Sports Information Dept.
The State University of New York at Fredonia Department of Athletics fi lled three openings this summer with the appointment of two head coaches and one assistant athletic trainer. Linda Hill-MacDonald was elevated to head coach of women's basketball, Amy Simon was promoted to head coach of women's lacrosse, and Katalin Parent joined the Fredonia athletic training staff. A veteran coach with NCAA Division I and WNBA experience, Hill-MacDonald was named interim head coach just before the start of the 2013-14 season and proceeded to guide the Blue Devils to a 15-10 season, including a 10-8 record in the SUNYAC. Led by senior 1,000-point scorers Becky Hebert and Jaime Warren, the Blue Devils advanced to the first round of the SUNYAC Tournament and nearly upset host Geneseo before bowing out. In addition to the contributions from the two seniors, freshman guard Alexis Cheatham was named 2013-14 SUNYAC Rookie of the Year in women's basketball. "We are pleased," Director of Athletics Greg Prechtl said, "that Coach Hill-MacDonald has accepted our offer to remain as head coach of the women's basketball team.

For a general summary of the law, see DEC's information on crossbow hunting . DEC's position on crossbow use for deer hunting is provided in Appendix 5 of the NYS Deer Management Plan (2.45 MB, PDF). Governor Cuomo signed the changes to Environmental Conservation Law in April, 2014. DEC's proposal maximizes the use of crossbows allowed under law's provisions. Citizens who wish to make
formal public comments through July 21 may do so by sending an email to: wildliferegs@gw.dec.state.ny.us (include "crossbow regulations" in the subject line) or by writing to: Mr. Bryan L. Swift, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, Bureau of Wildlife, 625 Broadway, Albany, NY 12233-4754. The NY Open for Fishing and Hunting Initiative is an effort to improve recreational opportunities for sportsmen and women and to boost tourism activities throughout the state. This initiative includes streamlining fishing and hunting licenses, reducing license fees, improving access for fishing and increasing hunting opportunities in New York State. In support of this initiative, this year's budget includes $6 million in NY Works funding to support creating 50 new land and water access projects to connect hunters, anglers, bird watchers and others
who enjoy the outdoors to more than 380,000 acres of existing state and easement lands that have not reached their full potential. These 50 new access projects include building new boat launches, installing new hunting blinds and building new trails and parking areas. In addition, the 2014-15 budget includes $4 million to repair the state's fish hatcheries; and renews and allows expanded use of crossbows for hunting in New York State. This year's budget also reduces short-term fishing licenses fees; increases the number of authorized statewide free fishing days to eight from two; authorizes DEC to offer 10 days of promotional prices for hunting, fishing and trapping licenses; and authorizes free Adventure Plates for new lifetime license holders, discounted Adventure Plates for existing lifetime license holders and regular fee Adventure Plates for annual license holders.

Use the appropriate dry fly for surface action, especially in late afternoon. Productive offerings for spinning anglers include worms, salted minnows and small inline spinners. If you are a catch-and-release angler and use spinners, it is a good practice to outfit your spinners with a single hook rather than a treble hook.

U.S. Falls To Belguim, 2-1, In Extra Time By Raf Casert AP Sports Writer
For a full 90 minutes, Belgium's almost relentless attack added up to nothing in the face of Tim Howard. Only in extra time was the superb United States goalkeeper finally beaten. Kevin De Bruyne turned Howard's heroic night into defeat on Tuesday when he scored an extra-time goal and then set up Romelu Lukaku for another to give Belgium a 2-1 victory over the Americans. Their reward is a quarterfinal match against Lionel Messi and his Argentina teammates on Saturday in Brasilia. ''For my heart, please don't give me too many games like this,'' Belgium coach Marc Wilmots said. ''He (Howard) was in a state of grace.'' Belgium's unyielding attacks for the full 90 minutes of regulation time only highlighted the great performance of the 35-year-old Howard, but the goalkeeper's teammates finally wilted in the evening heat once extra time came. ''They were all on their limit,'' United States coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. ''(Howard) had an absolutely amazing match.''

Suddenly, they had all the energy,'' De Bruyne said. With waves of chants of ''USA, USA'' echoing around the 48,000-seat stadium, the reinvigorated Americans kept searching for a late goal right up until the final whistle. It never came. ''It was a game that just went to the extreme,'' Klinsmann said. ''We just needed a little bit more luck.''

Sabres Sign Five On First Day Of Free Agency
Contributed Article NHL.com
After a weekend at the 2014 NHL Draft that had the Buffalo Sabres feeling good about the future, the team made a splash on the first day of free agency by acquiring five players Tuesday. Sabres general manager Tim Murray signed unrestricted free agent forwards Brian Gionta, Matt Moulson and Cody McCormick, and defenseman Andrej Meszaros. Buffalo also acquired defenseman Josh Gorges from the Montreal Canadiens in a trade for a second-round pick in the 2016 NHL Draft and re-signed restricted free agent forward Marcus Foligno. A veteran group joining what was a very young team at the end of the 2014 season should help ease any concerns about leadership heading into next season. "We're more competitive," Murray said. "We've got a lot of character now. We have leadership now. That's important to me when you're adding young players every year. There's a short term and a long term. The long-term is that your young players get better. Your young players become pros. They're not just good players, they're good NHL players, and I think that this group of people that we've added today can help in that regard." The Sabres traded their captain, Steve Ott, to the St. Louis Blues on Feb. 28. With Gionta signed to a three-year contract, Gorges acquired from the Canadiens, and Moulson back with the team, the Sabres

have veterans to support young players, including the 2014 No. 2 pick, center Sam Reinhart. "It's going to make it easier for him, for sure," Murray said of Reinhart. "It's going to allow him to play his game a little more. It's going to allow him to not look over his shoulder so often. I think it gives him a comfort level that if he does come into camp prepared, that he's got people around him to help him. And if he makes the team and he plays great out of the gate and all that; we know he's going to hit rough patches. We know he's going to hit speed bumps, and that's what these guys are here for. Besides playing, they're here to help our guys get over those rough patches, and we're going to have them."
Gionta grew up in nearby Rochester, N.Y., and was captain of the Canadiens from 2010 through 2014, a fact that wasn't ignored by the Sabres. "Yesterday he was the captain of the Montreal Canadiens, a storied franchise, a playoff team," Murray said. "That wasn't a token title, that was real. There is stuff in this game that's real and stuff that's not real, and that's real stuff. That's legendary stuff and he's now a Buffalo Sabre." Gorges was an alternate captain with the Canadiens under Gionta. His role in helping lead a crew of young Sabres defensemen -- Tyler Myers, Rasmus Ristolainen, Mark Pysyk, and Nikita Zadorov -- makes him a vital addition. "He's heart and soul. He

plays to the most of his ability and the most of an effort level every shift," Murray said. "He blocks shots, he's the type of player that can wear a letter, he's definitely part of the leadership group. He brings a lot of intangibles." Gorges didn't have to play the role of mentor on the Canadiens with older defensemen around. Now he's the oldest member of the Sabres blue line at 29 years old. "I think my job is to go in there and play the way I've always played," Gorges said. "I have to compete, I have to battle to do everything I can. At the same time, I want to be a leader on the team with a lot of good, young players and try to help out any way that I can. If guys have questions, or even just being a role model by how I compete and how
I prepare myself, that's what I want to do. I want to do anything I can to help that team win." The Sabres brought back Moulson and McCormick, who they sent to the Minnesota Wild at the NHL Trade Deadline. Moulson signed a five-year, $25 million contract to return to Buffalo. With each player having previous, and recent, experience with the Sabres, it made them important signings for the big picture. "I think our kids are sitting at home going, 'Wow,'" Murray said. "They know these players. They watch the National Hockey League. They know the quality of the player, they know the quality of the person, they know the character. This is as excited as they are to get drafted by Buffalo in the last couple years. They know it's a team that is not there. We can say it's a team on the rise ‌ people have to see that. I just think there's some kids at home going, 'This is great.'" The Sabres' signings on the first day of free agency may have caught fans and those around the League offguard, but it's the first step in the process of establishing Buffalo as a location players will want to come to, but the team doesn't want to start thinking too big, too fast. "We have to get a lot better to get away from the bottom," Murray said. "Does this do it? I don't know. This changes the mindset is what it changes. I still don't consider us a contending team by any means. Now the players may think differently, and that's good, but we have a lot of work to do and today was one day."

Sons, Cousins, Nephews Came Off NHL Draft Board
By Ira Podell AP Sports Writer
Familiar names came off the NHL draft board during both days of the selection process. Sons, cousins, and other relatives of hockey players past were chosen in droves. Now is the chance for them to make names for themselves. ''It's his career,'' fourtime Stanley Cup champion Claude Lemieux said of his son, Brendan, who went to the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday with the first pick of the second round. ''It's time to step outside my shadow and go play and be himself.'' Three other sons were chosen on Saturday during rounds 2-7 by teams for which their fathers played: Boston picked Ryan Donato (Ted) No. 56 in the second round, Carolina selected Josh Wesley (Glen) with the 96th choice in the fourth round, and
It's his career. It's time to step outside my shadow and go play and be himself. - Claude Lemieux, fourtime Stanley Cup champion

Daniel Audette (Donald) went to Montreal in the fifth round with pick No. 147. The most intriguing father-son combo in the two-day draft was perhaps the Kapanens. Their connection goes much deeper than just familial ties, because when Pittsburgh took forward Kasperi Kapanen in the first round on Friday, it gave new Penguins general manager Jim Rutherford the rarest of daily doubles. The veteran executive also chose Kasperi's father, Sami, in the fourth round (No. 85) of the 1995 draft when he was the general manager of the-then Hartford Whalers. ''Do you know anyone else who has done that?'' Rutherford

asked. ''We drafted Sami in '95, and he had his son in '96. We used to watch him on the ice when he just started skating, and now you end up drafting him.'' Rutherford spoke to Sami Kapanen about his son over the course of the past year. Sami is the majority owner and general manager of KalPa, the Finnish team with which Kasperi played. ''We had a good background check on him,'' Rutherford said. ''We were surprised he was still there at 22. We had him rated a lot higher.'' Brendan Lemieux knows all about falling and being passed over by teams that his famous father was associated with during his long career. Claude Lemieux starred with the New Jersey Devils and
Colorado Avalanche among several NHL stops from 1985-2003. ''I think it is a blessing,'' said Claude, who was also a second-round pick. ''I have nothing to do with Buffalo. I know pretty much no one on the Buffalo staff except for (coach) Teddy Nolan a little bit. ''Yes, it would've been nice if he would've gotten drafted by New Jersey or Colorado or San Jose, but he would always have to answer the question of, 'Your father played here.' I am happy that he is somewhere neutral, and they took him for him.'' Wayne Gretzky was among many former stars who reached out to the Lemieux family while it was dealing with the disappointment of Brendan failing
to meet his goal of being a first-round choice. ''Like Wayne said, 'It's just a number. Go prove them wrong and make the best of the opportunity,''' Claude recalled a text saying. ''You want to go to a team that really wants you. ''Buffalo had a really high pick and they took a great player. The fact that they took him that early in the second means a lot to him.'' The Devils had the chance to grab Lemieux with the final pick of the first round on Friday, but chose center John Quenneville instead. Quenneville's older brother was selected by Columbus in last year's draft. His uncle by marriage is Boston defenseman Johnny Boychuk, and his second cousin is former player and current
Chicago Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville. Ryan MacInnis, the son of Hall of Fame defenseman Al MacInnis, lasted a little longer than expected before he was finally grabbed by the Arizona Coyotes with the No. 43 selection - the 13th pick on Saturday. Unlike his father, MacInnis is a center. Al MacInnis is a Stanley Cup champion and seven-time All-Star who spent 23 seasons in the NHL with the St. Louis Blues and Calgary Flames. There was a buzz inside the arena when the Blues got set to make their selection at No. 33, but St. Louis drafted Russian forward Ivan Barbashev. William Nylander (No. 8 by Toronto) is the son of Michael, who had 209 goals and 679 points in a 15-season NHL career. Brendan Perlini, the No. 12 choice by Arizona, follows father Fred, who played eight NHL games with Toronto after being drafted in 1980. Dominic Turgeon (No. 63 by Detroit) has a major legacy to live up to as his father, Pierre, was the No. 1 overall pick in the 1987 draft by Buffalo and went on to score 515 goals and record 1,327 points in 1,294 games. He netted at least 30 goals in a season nine times.

Keselowski Hungry For Another NASCAR Championship
By Gary B. Graves AP Sports Writer
Brad Keselowski will have to finetune his victory celebrations after a shattered champagne bottle left him with a bloodied and bandaged right hand. The upside is he might get more chances to polish his post-race revelry as he pursues his second Sprint Cup Series championship in three years. Already locked into the Chase with a Las Vegas victory and a solid string of top-fives, Keselowski delivered his most dominant run at Kentucky Speedway. He started from the pole and led 199 of 267 laps en route to his second win this season. The Penske Racing driver heads to Daytona International Speedway fourth in points and showing the form that carried him to the 2012 championship. Missing last year's Chase also seems to have made Keselowski wiser - Saturday night notwithstanding. ''I want to win another championship,'' Keselowski said after a roundabout journey between Victory Lane and the infield care center to receive four stitches after striking the bottle on the podium. ''I don't want to be a guy that contends for a championship every three or four years. I want to do it each and every year and I know that opportunity is here, it's present and I want to make the most of it.'' The exuberant 30-year-old joked that he was going through something of a midlife crisis, perhaps his

way of stressing that he has to maximize his window of opportunity to win titles. That urgency worked for him two years ago, when he won five times with 23 top-10s and 13 top-
fives to win the title. Keselowski has two fewer wins than at the same point in 2012 but is showing the same consistency. His second Kentucky victory marked his
ninth top-10 along with a series-best second triumph at 1 1/2 miles, the distance of many Chase tracks. Those intermediate-length tracks don't return to the schedule until August at Atlanta, but Keselowski noted the importance of finding the formula now. ''When you can run well at this point in time, it bodes well for the final half of the season,'' he said. ''Certainly, we're not content. ... The reality is that Hendrick cars had won three or four of the last five and they're going to continue to be the cars to beat. So we have to keep pushing as well.'' Keselowski returns to Daytona looking to build on February's thirdplace run at the 500 and extend a recent run of top-10s on the 2.5-mile track. He enters with momentum following a commanding Kentucky performance in which he and teammate Joey Logano began on the front row and combined to lead the first 217 laps. The Michigan native later rallied from sixth on a restart to pass Kyle Busch on Lap 248 and pull away. Keselowski said the effort was reminiscent of his title year, when everything seemed to come together either by will or circumstance. ''Performances like (Saturday), sometimes they're few and far between,'' crew chief Paul Wolfe said. ''We'll continue to work hard to put together cars like this every weekend, and this is the type of performance we're going to need to be able to compete for another championship.''
