Volunteers Ensure Great Blue Heron Music Festival Survives and Thrives Organizers Credit the Many Community Members Who Help Make Three-Day Event a Reality

By Daniel Meyer Star Contributing Writer

The Great Blue Heron Festival has become known for offering three days of live music and various activities that are fun for the whole family, but all of that entertainment wouldn’t be able to be enjoyed if it wasn’t for a determined and dedicated group of individuals - the volunteers who make the annual event a reality. Scheduled for July 6, 7 and 8, this year’s music fest has once again been organized, coordinated and will be run by volunteers whose passion for music, their community and the concept of hosting family-oriented activities has helped the Great Blue Heron Music Festival return to Sherman for the 21st year in a row. “When we put this all together and then we take a step back after it is over each year and review what took place, I always marvel and say how impressed I am about what a great community we have and that’s mostly because of our wonderful volunteers,” said David Tidquist, who teams with business partner Julie Rockcastle to serve as festival co-directors. “What our volunteers do each year is help us grow and prosper and improve on what we offer from the year before. It really is quite remarkable.” Taking place amid farmland and forests in the low-key community of Sherman, the festival features a relaxed, laid-back and very comfortable atmosphere all three days of the event. Focusing on a nice array of music that includes bluegrass, folk, Gospel, Celtic, country and reggae,

the mood is set for attendees to experience a variety of musical tastes in a family-oriented atmosphere. With the non-stop musical entertainment being the main focus, the alternative forms of family fun come from a variety of workshops that focus on instruments and dancing, hands-on activities that the festival’s volunteers offer to anyone who is interested in perhaps learning how to play a few chords on the banjo, knock out a few beats on a bong drum or learn the basic steps of a salsa dance routine. “We have some amazingly talented and creative people who do some pretty amazing things, “said Tidquist. “The success of the festival year after year is because they help make it interesting and informative and extremely entertaining.” Regular attendees of the festival can attest to the incredible contributions made by dozens and dozens of volunteers each July. “It really is a wonderful event and it’s because of those volunteers,” said Kenneth “Kappy” Parker, who says he eagerly meets up with family and friends each year to enjoy the annual festivities. “Those volunteers make it happen, especially in helping with the children’s events and finding things to do for kids that they really get excited about.” The volunteers also help in the promotion of the local vendors who sell a variety of items that include clothing, jewelry, musical instruments and refreshments. “What’s great about our festival is how the nearby merchants see a big bump in business during the week we’re setting up and of course the

three days we welcome hundreds and hundreds of people to the community,” said Tidquist. “The vendors do a tremendous job showing their wares and getting festival goers a chance to make purchases of some truly unique items.” The Great Blue Heron Festival will take place rain or shine July 6-8, with tickets available for purchase online at http://www.greatblueheron. com/. Weekend passes purchased in advance are $75 and $85 at the gate, with one-day gate passes available

for $30 on Friday, $40 on Saturday and $30 on Sunday. Youth tickets (children ages 12-15) are $40 and all children under the age of 12 will be admitted for free. Details on the activities and workshops that will be offered, the entire musical entertainment lineup and more information on the three-day festival can also be found on http:// www.greatblueheron.com/ or by either sending an e-mail to: info@ greatblueheron.com or by calling 761-7190.

Weeded Down

County Works with Lake Management Commission To Control Nuisance Vegetation in Chautauqua Lake Office of Greg Edwards, County Executive Contributions by Patricia Pihl, Editor

A warmer than usual spring and below normal levels of winter snow and ice have lead to an abundance of nuisance weeds on Chautauqua Lake, a problem now being addressed by Chautauqua County and the Chautauqua Lake Management Commission (CLMC). According to County Executive Greg Edwards, the two groups are working to develop an inlake management plan with the longrange goal of reducing the weeds. In June, the Chautauqua County Department of Planning and Economic Development and CLMC selected Cedar Eden Environmental of Saranac Lake to complete a submerged aquatic vegetation management plan. According to County Executive Edwards, Cedar Eden has been commissioned to develop a comprehensive and integrated plan that will expand upon the techniques to manage the weeds that impair recreational, environmental, and economical resources in Chautauqua Lake. The plan will consider the location and type of man’s uses, areas of excessive weed growth, and where the conflicts between man’s uses and weeds occur. It will also identify sensitive areas and prescribe management

combine and organize the information from all previous studies on Chautauqua Lake and then identify any information gaps where further research is needed. If gaps are found, they can then complete the necessary work to fill those gaps and complete the plan. Edwards stated that the process will save time and money because it focuses on what still needs to be researched instead of completing the same studies repeatedly. “It will also allow us to more readily bring a resolution to the weeds that have become troublesome for residents, tourists, and property owners.” This plan is expected to be complete by April 2013. As part of this initiative and a parallel project, area residents are encouraged to complete an online survey Chautauqua County and the Chautauqua Lake Management intended to identify impaired regions Commission are working on solutions to decrease nusiance needs. of Chautauqua Lake.

Chautauqua Organizations Promote Lake Health through Healthy Landscapes

Hoisington Named Rotarian of the Year

Contributed Article Chautauqua Institution

Visitors to Chautauqua County in Western New York can view the blooming results of recent efforts to develop healthy landscapes such as rain gardens and buffer strips with the long-term objective of improving the health of Chautauqua Lake and the surrounding watershed. Two local organizations are putting conservation, science, planning, and a lot of discussion into action. Since 2007 when it began an educational program called Healthy Landscapes; Healthy Water, the Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy (CWC) has worked with numerous landowners, gardeners, landscapers, landscape designers, grounds-keepers and others to understand how establishing healthy and beautiful landscapes can improve natural watershed storage and filtration systems. Recently, CWC conservationists Jane Conroe and Deb Naybor have teamed up to offer a number of educational and awareness building opportunities. Funded through a two-year grant program, the two are helping landowners, both on and off the lake, plan gardens and buffer strips using plants native to the Chautauqua region, test and analyze soil, and make connections with other professionals such as Chautauqua County Master Gardeners. Over the past year, they have helped 36 homeowners plan rain gardens and buffer strips. For information on planting a rain garden or buffer strip, contact the Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy at 716-664-2166 or visit www.chautauquawatershed.org. Chautauqua Institution located along the northern basin of Chautauqua Lake is working to reducing excessive nutrients, sedimentation and pollutants from flowing into the lake. Since 2010, Chautauqua has been working with Foit-Albert Associates, an architecture and engineering firm based in Buffalo, to identify and prioritize improvements in 13 separate and distinct areas on the Institution’s grounds that drain into Chautauqua Lake. A Drainage Management Plan calls for action to reduce nutrient input to the lake; retain water where it falls; eliminate or decrease runoff discharge into Chautauqua Lake; remove nutrients from

water running into the lake; employ best management practices; and serve as a demonstration community. This spring, Chautauqua Institution received two grants totaling $696,000 from the Environmental Protection Agency and Clean Water Act funds distributed through the New York State Green Innovation Grant Program for the construction of an environmentally proactive surface and sub-grade storm water management system. Thus far the Institution has added a wetlands area near the South Gate and rain gardens at Fletcher Hall, Peck Avenue and South Lake, and in University Park. They have also created buffer gardens at the Glidden Shoreline on the northwest side of the iconic Bell Tower. In partnership with National Geographic Society, Chautauqua Institution will be presenting a series of events and lectures on Water Matters, the importance of water both locally and globally, during Week 4, July 15 – 21, 2012. On Sunday, July 15, from noon-4 p.m. During Water EXPO on Bestor Plaza, 18 area non-profits and government agencies will exhibit examples of programs in progress and the roles that they are playing in protecting and enhancing local water resources. In addition, Chautauqua County’s Water Emergency Team will

exhibit its watercraft and the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission will be present all weekend with its Life Below the Waterline mobile aquarium exhibiting fish taken from Chautauqua Lake by NYSDEC. Both of these organizations are members of a collaborative partnership of volunteers from 11 member organizations under the Chautauqua Lake Management Commission. The CLMC is aggressively working with county, town and village officials to develop local laws to reduce storm water runoff and soil erosion with the idea that implementing simple changes can significantly affect the health of the lake. For more information on the healthy landscape and conservation efforts in Chautauqua County, visit the Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy at www. chautauquawatershed.org. When visiting the area, be sure to stop by the rain gardens and demonstration sites located on Chautauqua Institution’s grounds. Locations are listed along with information about Chautauqua Lake and the Institution’s plans to keep Chautauqua Lake vibrant and beautiful at http://www.ciweb. org/CHQ-lake-management/#about.

The Rotary Club of Jamestown presented its Rotarian of the Year Award to Leslie Hoisington at its recent Recognition Dinner at the New Renaissance Center. Mrs. Hoisington was honored for her exceptional service to the Club as its Social Chairman for the past three years. Mrs. Hoisington was responsible for the annual corn roast, organizing the Rotary Club’s participation in the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Drive, the annual Christmas luncheon and a cappella concert, the late winter FARCH celebration, and the annual club recognition dinner. Hoisington is the marketing coordinator for Buffamante, Whipple Buttafaro P.C. She received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Speech Communica-

tions from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania in 2006. She is a member of the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation, a board member of Family Services of the Chautauqua Region, a graduate of the 2009 Chautauqua Leadership Network class and serves on various community committees including the organization and finance committee of the Downtown Jamestown Development Corporation, the Public Relations Committee of the Red Cross and the United Way allocations committee. Hoisington joined the Rotary Club of Jamestown in 2008. Sue Jones, Outgoing Rotary President and Rick Sterne, newly installed District 7090 Governor presented Mrs. Hoisington with her award and thanked her for her excellent organizational skills and service to the club.

Keeping the Faith

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

By Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church of Chautauqua County

Dear Pastor, can you tell me more about the Second Coming of the Lord? With all of the worldwide difficulties, more people are focusing on the topic of the End Times and the Lord’s Second Coming. Because there is much curiosity on this topic, many studies and books have been written to examine this topic. While it’s great that people are interested in what’s to come, it is important to examine the Biblical truth about this fascinating time.

Before we begin, I must acknowledge that there have been many individuals that have fallen into error due to bad teachings on this subject. These errors have included predicting the exact day of Jesus return (which scriptures forbid; Acts 1:7). This has resulted in people actually quitting their jobs and failing to plan for the future because they anticipate an imminent return of the Lord (which the Bible also calls error; 2 Thess. 3:10-12). A poor reaction due

to errors in interpretation or inflammatory teaching, however, doesn’t do away with Biblical truth. The first thing we need to know about the Second Coming is that it will happen. Jesus Himself said that He would come again! While there are many scriptures that attest to this, I highly encourage you to read Matthew chapter 24, Mark chapter 13, and Luke chapter 21. Pay particular attention to the phrase, “the Son of Man is coming” (King

James Version). Other versions may say “return” instead of “coming.” In these chapters, Jesus not only tells us that He’s coming, but also how He’s coming. Jesus says that we will see Him coming down from heaven, engulfed in clouds. These scriptures also describe what the conditions on the earth will be like at the time of His return. The second thing that the Bible reveals is that we should expect the Second Coming to occur at any given mo-

ment (Revelation 1:3). The Bible uses the illustration, “as a thief in the night” to denote the element of surprise at His coming (1 Thessalonians 5:2). This admonition is given to us so that we will remain vigilant and ready for His return. Dear friend, we may not know the exact day, nor have a guarantee that Jesus will return in our lifetime. However, if we live our lives in obedience and with the joyful anticipation that Jesus could come at any time we’ll be ready for Him!

SENIOR SECTION The New Ideal Retirement: Age: 67 Courtesy, Senior.com The age the typical worker expects to retire is no longer 65. For the first time this year, Americans expect to retire at an average age of 67, up from 66 in 2011, according to a recent Gallup poll of 1,016 adults. The average expected retirement age and been gradually increasing over the past seventeen years from age 60 in 1995 to 64 in 2005. Some 39 percent of workers now plan to retire after age 65, up from 30 percent before the recession in 2007 and just 15 percent in 1995. Age 65 remains a popular retirement age, with just over a quarter (27 percent) of workers planning to retire then, a proportion that has remained fairly consistent over the past decade.

from the financial crisis,” says Dennis Jacobe, Gallup’s chief economist. “There was a huge loss of savings and investments and housing values and all of those things have hurt potential retirees.” The Gallup survey found that the majority of current workers (55 percent) don’t expect to have enough money to live comfortably in retirement, up significantly from 42 percent in 2007 and just 32 percent in 2002. The proportion of people who expect to feel financially secure in retirement declined from 59 percent to 38 percent over the same time period. Younger workers are more optimistic about their retirement finances than those closer to retirement age. Employees age 40 and over are more than twice as likely to think they will not have a comfortable retirement (64 percent) than to think they will live com-

advanced age than younger employees. Those age 40 and older are planning to retire at an average age of 68, compared to age 65 among people under 40. The proportion of people who think they will be able to retire early has declined significantly over the past five years. Some 13 percent of workers are now aiming to retire in their early 60s, down from 18 percent in 2007. And the proportion of people who think they will retire in their late 50s has declined from 11 percent in 2007 to 7 percent in 2012. Just 6 percent of workers say they will retire before age 55, which is the same proportion of people who thought that in 2007. Financial insecurity may be compelling many workers to delay retirement. “There has been a lot of fallout

Thule Lodge Honors Birthdays of Members Contributed Article JS Sipos

The Thule Lodge is the Swedish organization in the Jamestown and Bemus Point area. It was organized 105 years ago for the Swedish immigrants to gather with their countrymen to preserve the Swedish customs of the country they left, and to socialize with oth-

ers. The lodge continues to this day preserving the Swedish customs through activities and events at their lodge located at 4123 Pancake Hill Road. One of the well known events will be their participation in the annual Scandinavian Folk Festival to be held at the Gerry Rodeo Grounds on July 19, 20 and 21. During the festival, there will be many kinds

of food stands, much music, folk dancing, Swedish lessons, Scandinavian crafts, vendors with Scandinavian items, and lots of singing. The festival is open to all. At the recent Thule Lodge meeting, members whose birthdays were in June and July were recognized and honored. With a special cake provided by lodge members

Susan W. Sipos and Diane K. Shaw, and decorated by Ranee Kaus of Cassadaga, a fun time was had by all during the time of refreshments.

fortably (29 percent). People under age 40 are more evenly split between believing they will (48 percent) or won’t (44 percent) have enough money in retirement. However, the age retirees actually leave the workforce has not changed over the past decade. Retirees have left their jobs at an average age of 59 or 60 in every single year since 2002. About a third (34 percent) of people retired between ages 60 and 64, the most popular age range for retirement. And 14 percent of those surveyed retired exactly at age 65. Only 16 percent of retirees managed to work past age 65. Early retirement was a common experience for current seniors. Many people (17 percent) retired in their late 50s and 18 percent retired before age 55.

By Scott Wise Star Staﬀ Writer

In May of 1987, a young man fresh out of a RHEMA Bible Training Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma was ready to reach the world and share the message of the gospel. In June of 1987, that young man moved back to Forestville and pursued what he believed was God’s calling for his life, by simply serving in a local church. Twenty-five years later, the Rev. Michael Lokietek is still serving in that local church, but in a different capacity. While he started out cleaning toilets and serving as associate pastor, Rev. Lokietek is now the senior pas- Rev. Michael Lokietek was given the pastorate of Family Church in 1995. Throughout his 25 years in full time ministry, he has started three other churches with a fourth in the works, tor of four churches, spanning from New which will be located in Spain.

and raise up young men and women for the ministry. “There is something about faith that people have to experience. It’s caught, not just taught,” said Rev. Lokietek. “I don’t believe that just sitting in a classroom will teach you all you need to know about the ministry. I give the people I mentor opportunities to preach and I spend time with them so they can really understand what goes in to being a minister. There’s a lot that I’ve learned in 25 years, so if they can start ahead they’ll get farther than I ever could.” Through his mentoring program, Rev. Lokietek has raised up three other Family Churches in addition to the Fredonia location. Jamestown, South Dayton and Warren all boast Family Churches, with each pastorate filled by ministers that Rev. Lokietek has worked with intensively. Later this year, Family Church will be starting a fifth church in Spain. LOOKING TO THE FUTURE With a personal goal of ten Family Churches by 2020, Rev. Lokietek isn’t slowing down or settling with experience- he’s speeding things up. “I believe that Jesus Christ is coming back soon for His church, and we’ll do everything we can to make sure that people are ready for that,” said Rev. Lokietek. “We’ll keep training people up and sending them out to start churches.”

Annual Laurel Run Relay To Take Place July 20

as Contributed Article ote The Resource Center His 2). us The 2012 Laurel Run will kick off Friday, July ant 20, with the traditional Jamestown-to-Dunkirk relay run, and everyone is invited to take part. now Laurel Run is an annual event that celebrates the achievements of people with disabilities while urn at the same time driving home the message that we people with disabilities can accomplish great and things if given the opportunity. y Laurel Run was started in 1997 when Silver ! creek resident Wayne Hotelling jogged and cycled more than 400 miles across New York State in honor of his oldest daughter, who has Down syndrome. In 1999, Laurel Run covered all off New York State. Relay runners set out from eight different parts of the State, and some six weeks later the eight relay legs came together in Albany for a grand finale. Laurel Run had passed through every county in the State, and

more than 20,000 people participated. Laurel Run is now an annual event that takes place in Chautauqua County, but it has retained the essence of that 1999 statewide relay. Each year, relay runners transport a Laurel Run flag from Jamestown to Dunkirk to officially kick off Laurel Run weekend. The day begins with a free community kickoff breakfast from 8 to 9 a.m. at The Resource Center’s facility at 75 Jones & Gifford Avenue in Jamestown. At 9 a.m. everyone proceeds up the sidewalk as a group to Eighth Street, from where the first set of relay runners will set out. The first runners will follow North Main Street out of the city to Horton Road. From there, representatives from area school districts will run the various legs of the relay, passing off the flag as they go along. The runners will follow Route 60 to Laona, through downtown Fredonia and out Central Avenue to Dunkirk. Officers from various law enforcement agencies will accom-

pany the runners along portions of the relay. In Fredonia, the runners will be joined by employees of the Lakeview Shock Incarceration Facility, who jog in cadence while leading the last group of runners to the finish. The relay ends at Washington Park, where the City of Dunkirk hosts a victory celebration. The last set of runners should arrive between 1:15 and 1:30 p.m. By having students participate in the relay, Hotelling hopes to help ingrain in them a lifelong appreciation of people with disabilities. Children with disabilities can be the target of taunts and ridicule from their peers, and events such as Laurel Run help to spread the message that people with disabilities should be treated with respect. If you would like to participate in Laurel Run as a representative of your school district, contact Hotelling at 934-3952 or at wehotelling@ verizon.net. Those participating in the relay will receive a 2012 Laurel Run T-shirt and will have

the opportunity to earn a gift card to a store of their choosing by raising money for Laurel Run. And you don’t have to be a student to take part in the relay – volunteers of any age are welcome. The 2012 Laurel Run relay is being sponsored by Premier Consulting Associates. The day after the relay, the 16th annual Laurel Run will continue in Silver Creek with a 5-kilometer walk, a 1k walk, an 8k run, children’s fun runs, and “Laurel’s Lap” (for anyone with a disability), followed by a party in the Village Square. In the afternoon there will be a motorcycle dice run. Proceeds from Laurel Run go to TRC Foundation to support disability awareness and prevention activities; money from the event also is used to enhance employment and work training opportunities for people with disabilities.

WOMEN’S SECTION Scrapbooking Today

It’s summer, that special time of year for barbecues, family picnics, graduation parties and weddings. Lots of weddings. After attending 11 weddings between June and October of last year, I was burned out on true love. I never wanted to ooh and aah over centerpieces, chair covers or flower arrangements again. The bridesmaids sweating in layers of cosmetics, Spanx and overpriced prom gowns just made me sad. If I saw someone’s tipsy Aunt Ethel shaking her groove thing to “It’s Raining Men” one more time, I thought I would go blind. The men folk, who only had to put on a tuxedo, show up and enjoy themselves, seemed to be having the best time of it all. The worst part about my nuptial overdose was that I felt I couldn’t give the proper amount of attention to the

couple tying the knot. Here they were, on the happiest and most important day of their lives, and I was feeling cynical over spending another Saturday night in a banquet hall. I wanted to make a scrapbook for every one of the couples that I had the honor and privilege of celebrating with, but taking on a task like that would be far too overwhelming to create anything but a generic album. Instead, I shot video, took candid shots that the professional photographers missed, put it all on a USB stick, said it was a “moving scrapbook” and called it a day. I felt like I was missing something, though, by not creating something handmade for the bride and groom (okay, the bride, really.) Luckily, this year is much more manageable having been invited to only three weddings. I can make some-

thing ahead of time, fill it in with those casual photos later on, add the USB with video and the photo files and give a more meaningful gift. The important thing with starting an album ahead of time is getting the colors and theme right. If you’re not close to the couple or their immediate circle of friends, this isn’t something to attempt. The approach you take to making a shabby-chic altered book for the couple getting married in a barn is going to be far different from the Katy-Perry-candythemed-teal-and-orange-affair at an Italian restaurant. Individualization is important. Luckily for me, my friend Carrie’s upcoming vows made this easier. She asked me to make the table numbers for her winery wedding, and I was more than happy to oblige. While creating these simple table

decorations, I punched hearts from the scraps, made a go-to kit of the leftover supplies, and now have everything I need to make a quick, simple album for her. For these simple table numbers, I cut 12” x 12” yellow cardstock into 4” x 6” rectangles and inked around the edges in VersaMagic Chalk Ink in Aloe Vera and Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Crushed Olive and Walnut Stain. I then cut 3” X 5” pieces from an old dictionary and inked them in the same manner, making sure to save the definitions of “love,” “wedding,” and “happy” for the album. Who is going to look at these closely enough to see that I made them from the pages with “acaleph,” “yelk” and “winkle” anyway? They just want to know where to sit. I stamped the table number in the center using Walnut

Stain, adhered them together using Scotch double-stick tape, added a 4” x 6” dictionary paper to the backside and was finished. These will look beautiful in her rustic wooden holders, and I look forward to seeing them on the table in a few weeks. By not being overwhelmed by the sheer number of weddings, knowing the couples intimately enough to anticipate the kind of celebrations they’ll be having and being able to prepare simple albums ahead of time, I can enjoy them without crafty guilt hanging over my head like a stormy cloud. It’s not nearly as difficult as starting a democracy from scratch in the eighteenth century. This week’s pick: Noble Winery, 8630 Hardscrabble Road, Westfield, NY, 716- 326-9463, noblewinery.com. We had a bachelorette picnic of sand-

wiches, fruit and Old Italian Red on blankets on their lawn overlooking spectacular Lake Erie. The staff could not have been more accommodating and friendly to us for our very special occasion, and I could not recommend them more highly if a winery tour is on your agenda.

The Amazing Spider-Man By Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times

We live in an age of speed-up, which may explain why the “Spider-Man” franchise feels the need for a reboot only 10 years after its first film, and five years after the most recent one. In its broad strokes, “The Amazing Spider-Man” is a remake of Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man” (2002), but it’s not the broad strokes we care about. This is a more thoughtful film, and its action scenes are easier to follow in space and time. If we didn’t really need to be told Spidey’s origin story again, at least it’s done with more detail and provides better reasons for why Peter Parker throws himself into his superhero role. Parker is played by Andrew Garfield (“Never Let Me Go”), who at 28 looks too old to be in high school, but then movie teenagers usually do. His key quality is likability, which he shares with his predecessor, Tobey Maguire. Gwen, his classmate and girlfriend (Emma Stone, “The Help”), is a well-grounded female who needs some persuasion to bond with Peter. That’s partly because Garfield’s take on Spidey is sometimes a few strands short of a web. He’s not above showoff stunts in high school and takes chances with his newfound superpowers. This is the first Spider-Man who can leap off a skyscraper and make us wonder if he has a plan in mind. The origin story takes at least an hour to tell, and I enjoyed that, because it seems to me that CGI super-

hero films often go on autopilot during their big action climaxes. We learn how Peter lost his parents and came into the care of Aunt May Sally Field) and Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen, replacing the late Cliff Robertson). Finding his dad’s old-fashioned briefcase in the attic, Peter comes across brilliant scientific work about cross-species interbreeding, and that leads him to the Manhattan skyscraper of Oscorp, your typical comicbook mega-corporation with a madman at the top. The screwball scientist is his dad’s old partner, Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans). He has lost his right arm and obsesses about regenerating it by injecting himself with the genes of lizards, which can replace lost limbs (almost instantly, it appears). Connors overdoses on lizard juice and expands into the hyper-violent Lizard, who goes on rampages and knocks cars off bridges with its tail. Meanwhile of course the cops blame a midtown trail of destruction on Spider-Man, and wouldn’t you know that Gwen’s father is police chief Stacy (Dennis Leary). This sets up various close calls and reconciliations, and the movie’s single best action scene, when Spidey rescues a boy from a burning car dangling from a bridge. The kid is able to assist in his own rescue after putting on Spidey’s face mask; I doubt the mask has magical powers, but simply provides a psychological boost.

That also may help explain why Peter/Spider-Man spends so much time not wearing the mask. That, and the fact that Andrew Garfield is very good-looking, and the mask reminds me of Hellboy wearing a screen door. The best of all the “Spider-Man” movies remains Raimi’s “Spider-Man 2” (2004), with the best of the series’ villains, Doc Ock. This film is probably the second best. The Lizard is not especially inspired and seems limited to the dramatic range of a Godzilla. Luckily, the climactic battle atop the Oscorp Tower is intercut with parallel action involving the plucky Gwen, who risks her life in an attempt to immunize all New Yorkers from becoming lizards. Director Marc Webb is aware that effective CGI action must be slow enough to be comprehensible, and although the Lizard sometimes thrashes about in a rage, Spidey’s action makes sense. A technological footnote: Peter/Spidey depends on cell phones, which save the day when Spidey urges Gwen to — quick! — find the blue serum! Peter Parker is still a photographer (and still using rolls of film); although we see a front page proving the Daily Bugle is still being published, Peter doesn’t seem to free-lance for it anymore; no doubt he’s been downsized. The credit cookies promise a sequel, and I suppose by the time they make it, Peter will have switched over to making videos for YouTube.

It’s a high-energy show and the closest thing you get to that time,” says bass player Boogie Cindy. “Dress up. It helps to get people loose, up and dancing. It’s a big party. It’s music that’s all about happiness and I think people need that. For two hours they forget about everything else.” To learn more, please visit the band’s web site at www.BoogieWonderBand.com.

This was an event at the White Sox Stadium where fans could get in to see the game by bringing a disco record and paying 98 cents admission fee.

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

Mayville’s ‘Home Chic’ Celebrates Fifth Year New Location Boasts Coffee/Tea Bar; Larger Inventory

By Patricia Pihl, Editor Home Chic of Mayville is celebrating its fifth year in a new, larger location with an added coffee and tea bar, popular children’s and pet’s section, and more of the home décor accessories that its loyal customers have come to know and love. Less than ¼ mile west of its former location, Home Chic reopened last May in what was the former Parkview Market, across from Mayville’s Lakeside Park. The coffee and tea bar, which also includes locally made desserts, debuts as the store prepares for its two busiest weeks of the year. While adding additional features, Home Chic is still very much about home décor. “Our tagline is fresh and hip home décor,” says owner Kristie Brown. “It’s a pretty good right-on description of what we have.” Describing her collection as “very bright and colorful,” Brown says the whole purpose is “to put things in your space -whether a room or the whole house - that makes you excited and happy to be there.” Her enthusiasm for decorating and helping her customers find just the right piece for their home is apparent when she speaks about her business. “We have the normal things like the plain linens and starter pieces such as our sofa in a grayish tweed.” Once the basics are in place, however, it’s the accessories that provide a personalized and finished feel. According to Brown, something as simple as the right pillows with a “bright pop of color,” can make all the difference in a room. Home Chic’s new location has allowed it to double its inventory size, so finding the “right piece” won’t be difficult. Scanning the store, Brown names some of its many featured products including rugs, “fun and unusual” glassware, florals

Legislative Session Produces Positive Outcomes Still Work to do on Mandate Relief

The close of the 2012 Legislative session in New York State has resulted in a few good outcomes for the state’s business sector, while some issues remain unresolved. Positive accomplishments include the

passage of an on-time budget for the second year in a row. The budget also closed a $3.5-billion deficit without adding new taxes. Pension reform was also approved with the creation of a Tier VI plan – a move that is expected to save more than $80-billion statewide. State lawmakers also approved a bill that reduces the growth in the local share of Medicaid payments, which is designed to save counties $1.2 billion over five years. One issue that was not adequately addressed in the Legislative session was mandate relief. There have been a number of opportunities to bring much-needed relief to employers, schools and local governments. There is a great deal of work yet to be done in these arenas. The 2 percent tax cap was intended to entice local taxing entities to reduce spending. It has helped. However, without true mandate

relief from Albany, local governments and school districts will continue to be squeezed trying to maintain essential services while still burdened by heavy requirements not of their own making. The Business Council last fall released a six-point plan for mandate relief called “Let New York Work,” which included the following recommendations: Making the pension system predictable and affordable; redefining compulsory arbitration; controlling the costs of construction on public and private projects; establishing a minimum health insurance contributions level for employees and retirees and no new mandates We continue to look to the state legislature for many of these substantive changes that will help to free businesses and encourage economic growth.

A new jewelry line for women has been introduced this year and in the summer, the gardening section gets a seasonal boost. The children’s section, which started on a small scale, has become extremely popular, according to Brown. Merchandise includes hand puppets and stuffed animals made from recycled sweaters, children’s

sized pillows, backpacks, wooden chairs, books, and art that can be integrated into a nursery. Still another focus of the store is to feature products made in the USA.

educating businesses regarding changes in State and Federal law. We have been proactive in our efforts to understand the implications of the ACA on businesses in Chautauqua County and are here to help businesses access information and understand not only product options but also increase awareness regarding tax credits.” As part of the Chamber’s focus on health insurance and the needs of small business, the Community Chamber Development Corporation, a subsid-

iary of the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce has implemented a Small Business Assistance Program to provide outreach and assistance to small businesses regarding health care and health insurance. Under the ACA, states can set up Health Insurance Exchanges, or marketplaces, where individuals and small businesses can shop for and enroll into health coverage. To help ensure that New York’s Small Business Exchange best meets the needs of New York’s

employers and employees, the Community Service Society of New York, launched a pilot Small Business Assistance Program to educate small businesses about the health reform law, address their current insurance coverage needs and help inform the design and development of the State’s Small Business Exchange. “The decision of the Supreme Court has significant implications for small businesses. We are participating in the SBAP not only to help small businesses understand their health

insurance options, but also to help them understand the Affordable Care Act and the tax credits that they may be eligible to take advantage of,” stated Greg Krauza, Director of Member Development.

Rotarians Learn About Fancher Chair Contributed Article Rotary Club of Jamestown

In 1807 in Worksburg, NY, Edward Work opened a sawmill, which would eventually become one of the oldest companies in Chautauqua County, Fancher Chair. Of course those not familiar with the area might ask, “What is Worksburg?” In 1836 Edward

Work sold his sawmill and the surrounding property to a man with a more recognizable name, Robert Falconer. Falconer then sold to his son Patrick who expanded the sawmill into a facility for the manufacture of beekeeping equipment. He eventually sold the surrounding land, which we now know as the Village of Falconer.

Throughout the years the facility that started as Work’s sawmill developed and produced many products. In 1910, it became the American Manufacturing Concern, maker of Falcon Toys. In 1930’s they manufactured tables and in the 40’s bedroom sets. The Falconer Family owned the facility for 137 years, and then in 1973 sold it to the Erickson

family. Originally the chairs made by Fancher were “fancy” chairs. Today Fancher manufactures office chairs and other contract chairs. The business was sold again in 2009 to the current owner, Gary Henry, Jr. Fancher produces 50,000 chairs yearly and is in the process of building an additional, much needed warehouse.

President of Fancher Chair, Gary Henry Jr., is a native of Chautauqua County graduating from both Jamestown Community College and SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry at Syracuse University. He has been employed by Fancher Chair or sister company Falcon Chair for 22 years. He and wife Pam have been married for 16 years

and have three children. Community involvement is very important to Mr. Henry including coaching Little League baseball, softball and soccer. He is also a lifetime member of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and is a Deacon at West Portland Baptist Church.

Basic precautions for biking with dog

Q: Is it safe to run a dog with a bike? My dog loves it, but we got a lecture about it from a neighbor who thinks it’s dangerous. What do you think? — via Facebook A: Letting your dog run alongside a bike is a great way to help him burn off a day’s pent-up energy without wearing yourself completely out in the process. But running with bikes is not for every dog — in fact, it’s not v- for most dogs. But for those cts with serious exercise required ments, it can be a perfect fit. If you choose to bike with d your dog, make sure your dog of is in good health (check in with your veterinarian), and start all slowly (both in terms of speed r and distance) to make sure this New activity suits him. Don’t even d try it if he’s a puller or doesn’t - respond to basic commands, including “sit,” “leave it” and rd- “heel.” Stay on trails if you can y and off busy streets if streets are your only choice. Keep your dog at a trot, not blic a run, and watch for signs of sh- overheating. Never go out in r- the hottest part of the day, carry water to offer frequently no and walk your bike and your dog for a cool-down before calling it a day. Finally, invest in a bicycle athat tachment that holds your dog’s and leash — carrying the leash in h. your hand while biking is a recipe for a wreck, even if you have a well-behaved pup.

Never Leave Your Pet in a Parked Car

Seniors want pets to move with them Studies show the value of letting pets stay with their senior owners. • The Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Sun-Sentinel reports that companies offering housing for seniors are increasingly accepting pets because of business pressures. Some 40 percent of people researching a nursing home or assisted-living situation ask about pet policies at first contact. Science supporting the value of pets staying with their owners no doubt also is having an influence; seniors with pets are typically more active and more social. • The American Veterinary Medical Association has produced a free publication offering basic information on cancer in cats and dogs, including a list of symptoms that should signal an alarm and a trip to the veterinarian. Half of all pets over 10 years of age die of cancer, notes the trade group, which adds that many kinds of cancer are treatable, especially if caught early.

On a warm 4- day, the temperature in a parked car can reach 120F in a matter of minutes -- seven with the car windows partially open. Your pet can quickly suffer brain damage or die from heatstroke or suffocation when trapped in high temperatures. s This is what you should do if ry your pet is exposed to high temperatures: nd • Be alert for the signs of heat stress -- heavy panting, glazed n- eyes, a rapid pulse, unsteadiness, a staggering gait, vomiting, or a deep red or purple tongue. • If your pet becomes over-

heated, you must lower his body temperature immediately. • Move your pet into the shade and apply cool (not cold) water all over her body to gradually lower her body temperature. • Apply ice packs or cold towels to your pet’s head, neck, and chest only. • Let your pet drink small amounts of cool water or lick ice cubes. • Finally, take your pet directly to a veterinarian -- it could save your pet’s life If you see an animal in a car exhibiting any signs of heat stress, call your local animal care and control agency or police department immediately!

After grabbing gold at the United States Olympic Time trials on Sunday, June 24 in Oregon, Suhr clinched a spot at the London games that start just three weeks from now with Opening Ceremonies on July 27. “This is something that you always train for and plan for,” Suhr said in a taped press conference after the meet. “To make the team is a dream. We’ve prepared for months and months for this day and to have it happen like this and to be on team, it really hasn’t set in. “I’m just thankful and I feel so blessed to have another chance to represent USA,” she continued.

George Carter Tapped for GBSHOF One of the greatest basketball talents to ever emerge from

Inductee of the Month: Leo Squinn

Western New York, George Carter’s credentials for the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame are confirmed with this simple, but comprehensive statement: “The only athlete born in Western New York, who was a multi-sport AllWestern New York selection, starred at a local college, had a lengthy professional career and was drafted by three major professional sports teams.” Carter initially made his mark as a multi-sport standout at Silver Creek High School in the early 60’s. He was a two- time all WNY selection in basketball, earned similar recognition for one season of football and was the section’s top 100-yard sprinter. Because of his prowess on the basketball court, The Buffalo News placed him on their all-time 2nd team and their all-1960’s first team. He took his talents down the road to Olean where he would lead the Bonnies in scoring for two years and in rebounding for three seasons. The 6-4 forward averaged 19.4 points and 12.4 rebounds over that time and still ranks 22nd in career points with 1,322 and 5th in total boards with 849. His career rebounding average is second only to Bob Lanier.

A copy of the 4x6 card of Hugh Bedient which will be handed out to all those attending the Jammers game on Huge Bedient Day, Thursday, Aug. 2.

Carter was inducted into the St. Bonaventure Hall of Fame in 1974. Upon graduation, George was drafted by the Detroit Pistons with the 81st pick in the 1967 draft. He was also selected by the Buffalo Bills in the 13th round and by the New York Mets in the 52nd round (874th overall). Carter’s professional basketball career was spent on many fronts. Although drafted by the Pistons, he played only one game before serving a two-year military commitment. When he returned, George went directly to the ABA where he became an all-star and played alongside some of the great players in pro basketball history. During his seven seasons in the league with eight different franchises, “Dirty Dingus” as he was called, averaged over 18 points and nearly seven rebounds in 478 games. Known for his short-range jumper and lightning quick first step along the baseline, the explosive Carter was second in scoring to Charlie Scott for the 1971-

Inductee of the Month Leo Squinn, a Jamestown High School graduate, was active in playing and managing baseball for over 30 years. He was a welterweight in boxing and played football for the Crescents and Liberty A.C. He was also an active bowler who was elected president of the Jamestown Bowling Association 1944-1950. He played softball for S.M. Flickingers, National Worsted and MRC and managed MRC to a championship three times. He managed Barber Shop and Knights of Columbus in the Jamestown Little League, managed MRC for six years in Jamestown Babe Ruth League, and managed the all-stars who competed in Buffalo and Amsterdam. He served 11 years as founding president of the Jamestown Area Oldtimers Baseball Club. Squinn was on the executive board of the Jamestown Babe Ruth World Series and was a recipient of the Ray Angle award for his service to Jamestown Babe Ruth Baseball. Leo Squinn was inducted into the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame in 1982. He died in 1986.

Salcedo Chosen as NCAA Woman of the Year Nominee Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — Just like they've done throughout their careers as studentathletes, Justine Raterman and Manuela Marin Salcedo have another chance to represent the Atlantic 10 Conference among the NCAA's elite. The A-10 announced Thursday that Raterman, a Dayton women's basketball standout, and Salcedo, a St. Bonaventure women's tennis student-athlete, will be the Atlantic 10 Conference nominees for the NCAA Woman of the Year award. The pair will join nominees from member institutions from all three NCAA divisions. The NCAA Woman of the Year Award honors graduating student-athletes who have distinguished themselves throughout their collegiate careers in the areas of academic achievement, athletics excellence, service and leadership. Hailing from Weston, Fla., Salcedo was a four-year standout, playing No.1/No.2 singles and doubles for Bona women's tennis. An All-Con-

Manuela Marin Salcedo was nominated for the NCAA Women of the Year Award. Her candidacy will be reviewed by the NCAA, which will trim down to a list of 10 — per division — and it will announce them in August. (St. Bonaventure sports information photo)

ference selection in three of her four years, Salcedo served as team captain and also was a member of the Bonnies' Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC). She led Bona to four A-10 Women's Tennis Championship appearances, herself competing in each of those tournaments. An honors student, Salcedo graduated this spring Magna Cum Laude with a degree in Journalism/Mass Communication and minors in English and Italian. The impressively multi-lingual Salcedo is fluent in Spanish, English and French and proficient in Italian. A Dean's List mem-

ber, she was awarded the Dr. Mary A. Hamilton Woman of Promise Award and is a recipient of the SBU studentathlete merit award. Besides exemplifying the term student-athlete, Salcedo, who has studied abroad at Oxford in England, also has a strong attraction to photography. She worked as the photo editor for the Bona student newspaper The Intrepid and as a photographer for the independent student paper The Bona Venture. She has assisted Buffalo Bills photographer Craig Melvin and is a recipient of the prestigious Father Cornelius Welch Award for

Achievement in Photography. This award is given to one journalism/mass communications senior each year. Salcedo's honors thesis involved travel to Rincon del Mar, a small coastal village in Columbia, where she studied the village's culture and story, hoping to help the people of the tiny town. Instead, she found the people of Rincon del Mar helping and teaching her on her journey through life. Both A-10 candidates will be reviewed by the NCAA, which will then announce the top 10 honorees per division in August. That list will be narrowed to three finalists in each division and the Woman of the Year will be awarded on Oct. 14 at a ceremonial dinner. The NCAA established the Woman of the Year Award in 1991 to celebrate the achievements of women in intercollegiate athletics. From 1998 through 2005, an average of 410 female student-athletes per year were nominated for the award; and since the program's inception in 1991, 2200 women have been recognized as state or conference honorees.

SUHR COMPLETES IN THE SUMMER OLYMPICS continued from pg 1 Suhr, who reportedly tore a quadriceps muscle a month ago, hasn’t had a whole lot of time for preparation in the recent weeks. The good news is,

even while not at her best, she took the American title again. She’ll have some time off before she takes one more shot at the Olympic gold.

The qualifying event will be Saturday, Aug. 4. If she’s fortunate enough to make the finals, it will be two days later on Monday, Aug. 6.

Complete coverage of the Suhr’s run and the Olympics will appear in our July 26 issue and will run through August.

SUNYAC COMMISSIONER continued from pg 1 lege, Davey received a bachelor of arts in government and classical studies. She earned her master of science in general education in 2004 from Elmira College. She participated in three sports while at

Hamilton, playing four years of soccer in addition to squash for three years and lacrosse for one. As a soccer goalkeeper, she earned regional All-America, New York State Women's Collegiate Athletic

Association, and Upstate Collegiate Athletic Association honors. SUNYAC provides college athletic opportunities for 5000 student-athletes in 20 sports

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

There was a landmark shift in the college football scene last week. A grueling process th that took seemingly an eternity finally ended with school presidents agreeing to ac- terms to bring about a fourng team college playoff. He Now, I like to pretend that ng I know more about college football than any person living on this planet. It’s my er sport, always has been. As a kid I used to count down the days until Christmas. Now I count down the days until ck- the first game — we’re less nd than 60 days away in case o a you were wondering. But while college football gets nearly every decision wrong in (why don’t we have a commisue, sioner?) they finally got one s in right last week. And resoundgue, ingly at that. nd Things change awful slowly in college football if you t of hadn’t noticed. Heck unm- til 1999, we had a dreaded bowl system that couldn’t even pit the two best teams ve against each other. It almost be makes you wonder how split national champions didn’t e happen more often. meBut then the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) saved the day. Only that took, ts what, two years for people to complain. The playoffs were coming, we just didn’t know exactly when and in what form. To be honest, they’ll be here well hy. before I thought they would. Granted, most people pegged ica- it for the 2014 season because that’s when the BCS contract had run its course. But who could have possibly enviel sioned this even two years in ago? Take me back to 2010, I ed know there’s no way I would ry, have thought we’d have a f playoff in five years. del But we do and I’m here to tell er you why a four-team playoff . is correct — for now at least. For one, college football loves , its tradition. Regular season the games are just too important on and frankly, they should be. Remember that Ohio Statein Michigan game in 2006? No. man 1 vs. No. 2 on the last week of d the season. Winner headed to the national championship. Loser out — although had Year Ohio State lost, they might e have still snuck in. Never en mind that they were bitter rivals, that was the game of an the century. While it’s the most extreme e example, we lose that with a and playoff system. In a four-team ion playoff system, that game e would have actually been r completely and utterly meaningless in the bigger picture. Both would have made the playoffs a week later. Now, we don’t have No. 1 vs. No. 2 every year. But we ics do have pivotal top 5 or top 10 matchups late in the year h — or in conference championship games — that would be rendered worthless if we had a bigger playoff system. People are always quick to e- point to college basketball try, and March Madness, which is undoubtedly the greatest and tournament in sports, but all, these are two completely difnis, ferent animals. Yes, March is great. But, outside of rooting interest, when’s the last time anybody really cared about Michigan State playing

Indiana in late January with both teams sitting in the top 15? They’ll both be playing in March. The worst thing that happens to the loser is they drop a bit in the polls, but it’s regarded as a “good loss” anyhow. The regular season is what makes college football and is why there are so many great rivalries in the sport. Secondly, you can’t jump from two to eight, or even 16, which is what I’ve long pushed for. You can’t skip four if for no other reason than not knowing whether or not it would work. The fear with four is that we’d still be shutting out the little guys — err, Boise State — and sending some combination of four SEC, Big 10, Big 12 and/or Pac-12 schools to this national tournament. That’s warranted, but not necessarily correct. Had Boise beaten TCU last year, in which they were done in by a missed field goal, they would have easily been in the BCS Top 4 and among any selection committee’s top four. TCU was in everybody’s top four two years ago when they went 13-0. Some even wanted to proclaim them national champions. And for the cherry on top, both Boise and TCU were undefeated three years ago and at least one would have been included. Not so exclusive is it? College football isn’t here to entertain 10-2, or even 11-1 teams from the MAC or WAC. It seems to me that in the current landscape of college football that an undefeated record in any conference would likely land you in the top four. And lastly, eight and 16 are actually way worse than four, especially if you’re in it for the little guy. Even if you’re not, the extreme dilution to the regular season should be enough to deter you from favoring this format. Let’s be realistic, while eight teams would probably include one mid-major type team, the other seven spots would be BCS schools. You would be looking at a third SEC team with two or three losses. Or a third Big 10 team that padded its win total with Indiana, Northwestern and some MAC school. If you look at the final BCS rankings (prior to bowl games being played) each year, you’d notice that the mid-level (teams ranked No. 5-No. 20) are nothing but second-rate BCS-conference teams. Automatic qualifiers from every conference back the idea for 16 teams, and with 11 conferences, it would ensure every little guy makes it. But, they’d be seeded low and have to play at one of the big guys home field because we can’t have four rounds of neutral site games. Plus, there is no arguing that those five remaining at-large bids would all go to BCSschools every single year. There is no way the second team from the Mountain West would ever get in over the third team from the SEC or Big 10. Never. The only thing we know is voters have a soft spot for a team with a donut in their loss column. And with all these conference championships in big time conferences now, the likelihood of one team going undefeated — let alone two, which is simply impossible — are rather slim. Will four last? I tend to think so. But if history has taught us anything, we’re never happy. Maybe in five years, I’ll be writing this exact same piece calling for eight instead of four.

Magic-al Night For Nicholson, Bonnies

Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

NEWARK, N.J. — Former St. Bonaventure star Andrew Nicholson was selected by the Orlando Magic with the 19th pick in the 2012 NBA Draft Thursday night at the Prudential Center. With his selection, Nicholson becomes the 33rd Bonaventure player to be drafted into the NBA, and the first since Barry Mungar was selected in the Fourth Round in 1986. He also becomes the fourth Bona First-Round pick, and first since Bob Lanier was selected with the first overall pick by the Detroit Pistons in 1970. "We are excited to have Andrew (Nicholson) join our Orlando Magic family," said General Manager Rob Hennigan. "We feel he embodies the types of values that will put him in a position to achieve success here. He's a humble, high character player, who's committed to working hard and playing within a team concept. We are intrigued by his cerebral, instinctual approach to the game." Nicholson will be the first Bona basketball player to appear for an NBA team since J.R. Bremer (undrafted free agent) took the court for the Golden State Warriors during the 2003-04 season. Nicholson becomes the first player from the Atlantic 10 Conference selected in the 2012 NBA Draft, with Tu Holloway of Xavier expected to be taken sometime in the Second Round, along with Temple forward Michael Eric. In this shortened season, the Orlando Magic finished 3729, which was good for 6th in the Eastern Conference. Orlando was eliminated from the playoffs by the Indiana Pacers in five games. Nicholson is the first St. Bonaventure player ever to be

selected by Orlando. Nicholson will join forces with former Atlantic 10 player of the year and National Player of the Year Jameer Nelson formerly of Saint Joseph's. He joins former Richmond standout Justin Harper and most notably Nicholson will team up with NBA superstar Dwight Howard. The Mississauga, Ontario native becomes the seventh player coached by Mark Schmidt to be drafted into the NBA. He joins a list that includes former 18th overall pick, NBA All-Rookie Second Team selection and two-time NBA champion James Posey, as well as former Oscar Robertson Trophy recipient, 18th overall pick and two-time NBA AllStar David West. Both were coached by Schmidt at Xavier.

He also becomes the sixth player drafted out of the A-10 since 2009. That list includes: Justin Harper of Richmond (2011 Round 2, Pick 32), Lavoy Allen of Temple (2011 Round 2, Pick 50), Jordan Crawford of Xavier (2010 Round 1, Pick 27), Derrick Brown of Xavier (2009 Round 2, Pick 40) and Ahmad Nivins of Saint Joseph's (2009 Round 2, Pick 56). On July 1, Butler and VCU will join the A-10. Those two schools have had a combined four players drafted since 2009. That list includes: Shelvin Mack of Butler (2011 Round 2, Pick 34), Gordon Hayward of Butler (2010 Round 1, Pick 9), Larry Sanders of VCU (2010 Round 1, Pick 15) and Eric Maynor of VCU (2009 Round 1, Pick 20).

"Nicholson brought St. Bonaventure back" said Rece Davis of ESPN. "He is the best big man out of St. Bonaventure since Caswell Cyrus." said Jay Bilas. Mike Francesa said earlier in the evening that "Andrew Nicholson is a legitimate player." Nicholson stormed through the final month of the 2012 regular season to garner A-10 Player of the Year and Associated Press All-American honors. He powered St. Bonaventure to its first A-10 Championship title — earning a nod for Most Outstanding Player along the way — after posting 26 points, 14 rebounds and eight blocks in a title-game win over Xavier that sent SBU to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2000. Nicholson ended one of the all-time great careers in Bona basketball ranked second in program history in points (2,103), field-goal percentage (57.5) and blocked shots (244), while sitting fourth in total rebounds (887) in 123 games and 75 straight starts to end his career. He ranks as the only player in the history of the league to earn four straight Player of the Week awards, averaging 25.3 points and 11.5 rebounds over the final eight league games of the season.

Penguins Sign Sidney Crosby To Lengthy Extension By Will Graves Associated Press

Pittsburgh, where he became the youngest captain in NHL history to hoist the Stanley Cup when he led the Penguins to the title in 2009. And Crosby's contract is proof he doesn't want to be a oneman team. Crosby opted not to take a raise over his current contract despite the prospect of the salary cap rising over the course of the next decade. The deal gives the Penguins leeway when free agency begins on July 1. Pittsburgh is targeting at least one high-profile forward after trading Jordan Staal to Carolina last week. Crosby is good friends with New Jersey Devils forward Zach Parise and the cap room cleared by the Staal trade and the trade of defenseman Zbynek Michalek to Phoenix puts Pittsburgh around $15 million under the expected $70 million cap for the 2012-13 season. ''We're in a different spot than we were a week ago,'' Shero said. It also gives Crosby and the Penguins peace of mind heading into the future. The team stuck by Crosby dur-

Pair of Innings Gives Hope To Struggling Jammers

Star Sports Editor

the JAMESTOWN, N.Y. — There’s no or way around it. The Jammers were playing ugly baseball for more than a week and with a record of 3-9 heading into play Saturday night, there ' were some rumbling about just how bad this team might be this year. e Lest we forget, it’s still pretty early in the season, but in this 76-game e season, long losing streaks early in the season tend to do a lot more than have you looking up in the standings.

Once you start losing, it can be tough to turn it around. est,'' But who knew things were about to ufturn around with Jamestown traileing 5-2 in the top of ninth inning ng on Saturday. Staring down a eighth straight loss, the Jammers erupted for four runs before turning it over d to reliable closer Nick Wittgren to d end the game. s in But consider this, Jamestown needed ch. three runs in the ninth to tie the game.

games. In the seven-game losing streak, they had only done it once. But, they did it Saturday behind just three singles, but got some help from putting the ball in play. Regardless, the four-run inning carried over back to Jamestown when the Jammers opened up a three-game series with Auburn on Sunday. The Doubledays had just swept Jamestown in a three-game set in Auburn the previous week by a combined score off 22-5. But, right off the bat, the Jammers — who remember, just scored more than three runs in an inning for the first time this season in their last inning — exploded for five in the bottom of the first.

Three doubles, a pair of singles and three walks as Jamestown put the game out of reach right away en route to winning 7-1. Jamestown scored nine runs in two innings that single-handedly won games for them. In the 46 innings before that, though, they had scored a grand total of 10 runs. Think about that for a minute. Yes, it was an explosion. Still plenty of baseball, though, we’re not even at the quarter-point of the season. Jamestown started a six-game roadstand Wednesday with Staten Island (Yankees) before heading back across the bay to face Brooklyn (Mets).

The NYPL schedule is 76 games in 80 days. One of those four days off is the All-Star game. So if you’re fortunate enough to make it, you’ll spend the other day off (the day before) travelling. Only two real days off in this league. Other News and Notes • 20-year-old inﬁelder Yeison Hernandez was called up to Greensboro. Hernandez was hitting .282 (11-for39) in eight games for Jamestown while playing some second, some short and also DH-ing. • His roster move opened up space for Pedro Mendoza, who was activated off the 7-day disabled list Saturday. All Mendoza has done, 21, is go 5-for-9 in his first two games,

giving the Jammers a catalyst at the top of the order. • Blake Logan made his ﬁrst start for the Jammers Sunday, taking the place of Ryan Newell. No word on if Logan will remain in the rotation, but it’s hard to imagine he won’t. The rookie threw three no-hit innings and has now allowed just four baserunners in five innings for Jamestown. No runs allowed and eight strikeouts. He’d be the ace on the staff at this point. • Jamestown’s starters ERA was 5.93 heading in to play on Sunday. Logan helped drop that down to 5.58. • The 15 hits Jamestown mashed out Sunday also improved the teams batting average to .244, good for a tie for eighth place in the league heading in to play Monday. • Kentrell Dewitt had to be taken out of the game Sunday in between the second and third innings. Tough to say where Dewitt got hurt, but the team was mum on the outfielder’s condition. Dewitt missed three games earlier in the year with an undisclosed injury as well. He’s dayto-day and didn’t play Monday, so I doubt we’ll see him that soon. • Errors continue to be a problem for Jamestown. They’ve made 23 this season, more than 1.5 per game. By, comparison, Auburn (leaders of the Pinckney Division) have made just 14.

Around the NYPL: Pinckney Division By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

Auburn: I got my first look at the Doubledays Sunday afternoon when the Jammers knocked off the division leaders 7-1. A bit of a surprise considering Auburn had just defeated Jamestown 22-5 in a threegame sweep the week before. But, Auburn has benefited from the rehab assignments of Sandy Leon and J.R. Higley. Leon, a catcher, has been having a wonderful year at Double-A Harrisburg before coming down to the NYPL for a quick rehab stint. Higley, an outfielder and has been as high as Triple-A this year and also won’t be down in Auburn for much longer. The two have combined to hit over .320 and have driven in 12 runs in 12 combined games.

But, the Doubledays still might be the best team in the division with guys like first baseman Shawn Pleffener and shortstop Stephen Perez. Auburn has got fairly steady pitching from the rotation, too, but certainly aren’t as unbeatable as their hot start would indicate. Mahoning Valley: These guys are hot. Winners of five in a row heading in to play Tuesday, the Scrappers have started to put things together since getting beaten up by State College on the first weekend. Similar to Jamestown’s early struggles with Auburn, Mahoning Valley got swept by the Spikes by a 19-7 tally in three games. But, they’ve rebounded nicely and part of that is thanks to a first round pick from the 2012 draft in outfielder Tyler Naquin. Jammers fans didn’t get a chance to see Naquin even

though he was on the roster for both games in Jamestown. He didn’t make his debut until the team got back to Niles. As far as the Jammers go, they played these guys even for four games. If the Scrappers are the team to beat in this division, things aren’t as bad as they might seem. State College: The aforementioned Spikes were off to a nice start but have cooled down over the last week. Part of the problem is State College left home. They’re 6-1 at home and 2-6 on the road, including getting a return favor from Mahoning Valley as the Scrappers swept a three-gamer from the Spikes. They’ve been getting great starting pitching, namely from Luis Heredia who has a 0.64 ERA in 14 innings. I haven’t seen the Spikes and we won’t until Aug. 11, the last team Jamestown will see. They’ll get used to them, though. In a stretch of 20 games, these two teams will square off 10 times. Batavia: I’ve got to see quite a bit of the Muckdogs, a team that took Jamestown out four out of six. They have a nice top of the order with Steven Ramos, Breyvic Valera and Garrett Wittels. Jesus Montero is also off to a nice start. The Muckdogs have the make of a team that should be in the hunt for a playoff spot all year. Williamsport: I also haven’t seen the Crosscutters and we won’t see them until Aug. 9, two days before State College. Starting pitcher Josh Warner has been one of the best in the league. The Australian has a 1.50 ERA in three starts. Mitch Walding, a fifth round pick out of high school in 2011, is off to a marvelous start, batting .365 in his first two weeks.

Mad Brad

Incident lit fire under Keselowski at Kentucky for third win in 2012

he results of Saturday’s Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway show that, among other things, a mad Brad Keselowski is one fast fellow. Keselowski tangled with Juan Pablo Montoya early in the opening Sprint Cup practice on Friday, an incident Keselowski blamed on Montoya pulling in front of him, and it forced Keselowski’s team to prepare a backup car in a hurry in the triple-digit heat. But once the race was under way Saturday night, Keselowski dominated en route to his third win of the season, a victory that all but assures him of a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup, the championship battle that begins after eight more races. Keselowski’s crew chief Paul Wolfe said the mad factor appeared to be in play at Kentucky. “There are definitely a lot of instances where I’ve seen Brad be able to find speed in the race car when he is ticked off,” Wolfe said. “Whether or not he’s doing it, it seems like it happens.” Keselowski admitted that the incident with Montoya was on his mind over the weekend. “I don’t like being pushed around, and I felt like what happened on the race track,

that someone was pushing me around, and I don’t like that,” he said. “I hate that. I can’t stand it, and I won’t stand for that. I can’t stand it.” He said that while some might say that being mad in a race car can be a bad thing because of safety concerns, he’s not sure a rush of adrenaline is a big negative after all. “Maybe it’s not. I don’t know,” he said. “I ain’t the one to answer that. “But I do like the result, and whatever way, whatever I’ve got to do to get them, I’ll get them. But I’m not going to be pushed around, and that’s one code that I’m going to continue to live by.” Keselowski added that the most important factor in the victory was the speed of his backup car. “This car was fast from the second we unloaded it,” he said. And he said his car needs to continue to be fast if he’s going to make a serious run at the title. “You’ve got to win races,” he said. “You don’t back your way the Chase. Don’t rest on your laurels. You’ve got to have fast car when’s the Chase starts with great reliability and great execution. “It’s going to take all three.”

Richard Petty celebrates 75th NASCAR icon Richard Petty, the man with a record 200 victories and seven Sprint Cup titles, turned 75 this week. Petty planned to spend his birthday, Monday, at the Petty complex in Level Cross, N.C., then relax with family afterward. Then, as he’s done for most of his earlier birthdays, he’ll travel Richard Petty to Daytona for (NASCAR photo) the Fourth of July weekend races. This year will be extra special as he’ll be honored with a “Red, White and Petty Blue” dinner that will take place at the Wyndham Ocean Walk Resort and feature guest speakers who have been his friends for years.. “I’m really thankful for everyone who has supported us over the years,” Petty said in a team release. “I really don’t think about age too much. I just keep going to the next race. I’ve been doing that all my life and that’s what I’m going to keep doing. But, I am grateful for each day and all the fans who make this a lot of fun for us.”

Austin Dillon’s victory in last Friday’s Nationwide Series race at Kentucky Speedway, his first in NASCAR’s second tier circuit, came in a car that looked remarkably like the Chevrolet that the late Dale Earnhardt once drove. In fact, the car is nearly identical, and with good reason. It belongs to Dillon’s grandfather, Richard Childress, who also owned the black No. 3 Chevrolets that Earnhardt drove for most of his career. It ran like one of those Earnhardt cars, too. Dillon started on the pole, led 192 of 200 laps and won by a 9.8-second margin over second-place Kurt Busch. Childress said in Victory Lane at Kentucky that he thought Earnhardt would be proud. And while some Austin Dillon might say that (NASCAR photo) Earnhardt’s car number should be retired, there are plenty of others who say otherwise. Dale Earnhardt Jr. has maintained that Dillon is the right person to bring that iconic car number back to the highest levels of NASCAR since he’s been running it since he started racing on the short tracks of the South. Earnhardt Jr. addressed the subject last fall during a media session at Homestead-Miami Speedway. “I don’t look at the numbers tied to drivers as much as just the history of the number,” he said. “The number is more of a bank that you just deposit history into. It doesn’t really belong to any individual. Austin’s run that number, and you really can’t deny him the opportunity to continue to run it. It just wouldn’t be fair.” Earnhardt Jr. said that although his father accomplished great things while driving the No. 3, there were many others before him who ran that number, including Childress, who gave up his own driving career to put Earnhardt in his car. “And someone else drove it before then,” Earnhardt Jr. said. “There are a lot of guys in the Fifties and Sixties that ran that number with success.” Dillon’s first Nationwide win could come with somewhat of an asterisk, as the rear of his car was found to be too low in a post-race inspection.

Kenseth psyched for Daytona If Matt Kenseth needs a distraction from dealing with the aftermath of his decision to leave Roush Fenway Racing at the end of the year, this week’s race at Daytona International Speedway might be just the ticket. Kenseth won the Daytona 500 in his last race at the birthplace of NASCAR, and he believes his restrictor-plate cars are as fast as any in the Sprint Cup garage. “I am looking forward to going back there,” he said. “I looked forward to going to Talladega more so than any plate race I have ever looked forward to in my career with as good as we ran at Daytona [in Feb.] and how fast our cars were. “I feel the same way about Daytona [this time around] and I am looking forward to getting down there.” He said he made a tactical mistake and got separated from his drafting partner and teammate Greg Biffle near the end at Talladega, the other track where restrictor plates are used to slow speeds, or he might have won there, too. “I have been kind of agonizing over that since Talladega with that green-white-checkered and how I lost that race for my guys,” Kenseth said. “I am looking forward to getting some redemption and also coming off that win at Daytona. The rules worked really good for us. Our cars have been fast, and we have been able to pass.”

Roush on Kenseth: ‘Personally, we will be fine’

SPRINT CUP POINTS

When a race driver and his or her car owner part company, as Matt Kenseth and Jack Roush will do at season’s end, it’s not just a business move. It also involves personal relationships, as the two usually have worked hand-in-hand, and as teammates in a competitive environment, for a number of years. Throughout the NASCAR garage, there are drivers and owners who once worked together, but now are on opposing teams, yet still manage to maintain the friendships, or at least cordial relations. Eddie Wood, co-owner of the No. 21 Wood Brothers Ford, has often said that he and his family strive to maintain good relations with all their former drivers, because no matter how they parted, those drivers are still part of the history and heritage of their race team. Roush said last week at Kentucky Speedway that he feels the same way about his drivers both past and present. “[Kenseth], like Mark Martin and Greg [Biffle] and Carl [Edwards], is a cornerstone of what we do, and his DNA is all over the things that we are known for and our success,” Roush said, adding that he hopes he and Kenseth can continue their personal relationship.

(NASCAR photo) “[For] Matt and I, and I think everybody on the team, the friendship part will survive,” Roush said. “I have not lost respect for Matt, and I hope he hasn’t for me. “I won’t have the same sense of wishing for his success on the race track next year that I will for the balance of this year, and have in the past. He will, from my point of view, be moving to the dark side. We will get through that. Personally, we will be fine.” Roush went on to say that Kenseth’s decision to leave after nearly 14 seasons behind the wheel

of the No. 17 Ford, caught him off guard, and that he never got a chance to personally intervene until it was too late. “If I had been as vigilant and diligent and interested in that side of the business as I am on finding why a fuel pump broke, or why a connection rod bearing failed, or how we could get the next pound of downforce – if I had been taking care of the business side of the business as hard as I tried to take care of the technical side, I might have been able to stop that,” he said.

David Scott Wins Fritz Seamens Super Late Model Memorial By Glenn Slocum Contributing Writer

BUSTI, N.Y. — The Fritz Seamens Super Late Model Memorial sponsored by Roberts Trucking, Arthur R. Gren, Tobber Racing and Lias Tire started with a four wide salute with retiring veteran Super Late Model driver Rod Maloy leading and ended with David Scott in victory lane. Maloy was Super Late Champ in 2001 and then in 2007 and is seventh in the all time win list with 23 wins. Scott battled with Dick Barton and lap traffic over the final laps of the Memorial event for his $5,000 win. Veteran racer Maloy led the four-wide salute lap for the Fritz Seamens Super Late Model Memorial and Doug Eck led the first green flag lap. Maloy had announced his retirement making the memorial his last race. A lap 2 incident collected several cars including Andy Kania, Chuck Parker, Greg Oakes, Ryan Scott and Rich Gardner.

Scott was not followed by Maloy, TJ Downs, Andy Boozel and Dick Barton. Bossard, Jordan Eck and Davies got caught in another incident on the restart. Lap 4 was finally completed as Scott took to the high side with Maloy giving chase down low. Barton used lap 6 to pass both Maloy and Boozel as Scott led by several car lengths. Kania spun at the exit of turn four for yellow five with ten laps complete. Scott remained in the high groove and Barton stayed low managing to stay with the highflying Scott. Barton would pull alongside in the corners but Scott pulled away coming out of the turns. Boozel ran third with Oakes in fourth and Gardner fifth. The leader hit lap traffic on lap 23 with Barton three car lengths behind. Barton had to go high to pass the lap traffic and lost ground to Scott. Once they cleared lap traffic Barton moved down to the low groove. Scott took the white with a five-car length lead and Barton was unable to challenge. It was Scott’s second win of the season and his 19th career win at Stateline. Chris Withers made it eight in a row in the Street Stock

division after Steve Keith and Jason Covey tangled in the early laps. Keith, Withers and Covey were the early leaders in the first Street Stock feature. Keith and Covey tangled with four laps complete and Withers was right there to take the advantage and the lead. Withers, Brian Crandall and Paul Nelson were the restart leaders. Withers held on for the win his eighth consecutive win. Ben Burgess Jr. lost the handle while leading the Super Sportsman feature and point leader Dan Nocero Jr. was there to pick up the win. Wade Watson and Tim Card caused the first caution in the Super Sportsman feature on lap two. Burgess Jr. was the race leader with Jake Eller second and point leader Nocero third.

Nocero was second after the restart and caught the leader two laps later. Nocero ran high while Burgess stayed in the center groove. The second yellow flew for Jim Kibbie with a spin in the exit of turn two. Burgess lost the lead with a spin in turn one with eight laps down giving the lead to Nocero. Nocero pulled away from the field after the restart for his fifth checkers in 2012. Young Damian Bidwell won his second Crate Late Model feature leading from start to finish. The first lap of the Crate Late Model feature ended with a yellow for Mark Thrasher as Bidwell led with Ed Carley second and Bob Kish third. Bidwell was the first one around for lap 2 as he and Carley began to move away

from the field. Ward Schell was third with Justin Tatlow fourth and Jason Genco fifth. Five laps remained in the race when Bidwell caught the tail end of the field with a ten-car length lead over Carley. As the white flew Carley had closed to within five car lengths but could not catch the youngster as he won his second of the season. Cale Crocker started second and finished first for his career first win at Stateline in and E-Mod.

Chris Ottaway also had problems at the start and retired to the pits. Lap 2 ended with Mike Moore and Schauers tangled up in the inside of turn four. Moore joined the field while Schauers went to the pits. Eckman was once again the first across but Cline had stopped for caution three. Eckman could not shake Kania as the race stayed green.

On the white flag lap the final caution occurred as Cline had more troubles. The dash for the win gave Eckman his second checkers of the season. Todd Bacon won the second Street Stock feature after early leader Elaine Best suffered mechanical problems. Elaine Best was on the front row for the second Street Stock feature and lost the lead on lap five as her car slowed to stop on the front stretch.

Dave Hess Jr. Wins JoAnne Clinger Memorial at Eriez Speedway Contributed Article By Jay Pees

HAMMETT, Pa. — Dave Hess Jr drove to his third win in the JoAnne Clinger Memorial race Sunday night at Eriez. It was Hess’ third win in the annual event, run since 2007 and he is the only multiple winner. Mike Knight and Kasey Hammond each drove to Victory Circle for the second time this season. Kyle Zimmerman, the 2011 FASTRAL Late Model champion, finally won his first feature at Eriez. Steve Kania got his third star in the win column and Wade Watson put up his fifth win in six events contested. Defending Street Stock champion Pat McGuire continued his quest to win this season’s top prize with another win. The evening was highlighted off with a huge fireworks display. The JoAnne Clinger Memorial race was the mail attraction for the Plyler Overhead Door E-Mods with Joel Watson winning the pole by virtue of winning the Dash for Cash, which paid $200. Point’s leader Rich Michael Jr. was outside. Michael led lap one with Watson right behind. On lap two Dave Hess Jr. came

by Watson on the backstretch and took over the lead coming out of turn four. With four laps complete Joe Crawford spun in turn two, collecting John Boardman and Mike McGee. After green Hess opened up a lead with Watson and Michael side by side with Watson leading at the time of the next caution at lap 8. The next caution was when Watson spun sideways in turn four resulting in cars coming together behind him. Watson kept his mount moving, losing five positions in the process. The cars of Mike Knight and Shane Crotty were restored to their positions due to not be the reason for the caution. Watson restarted seventh, the spot he was in when the caution flew. Unfortunately for Watson, he again spun, fully coming to a stop, at lap 13, and being hit by Russ Dunn. Both cars went pitside. Dunn returned after repairs but Watson was done for the night. Hess continued to extend his lead through the remaining laps, winning the event for the third time in its six-year history. Following Hess to the check-

ers was Rich Michael Jr., by a very close margin over Scott Gurdak. Brent Rhebergen (from 15th on the starting grid) was fourth with John Boyd fifth. An extra $100 was paid to Steve Sornberger, the tenth place finisher. The bonus was paid by Dan and Percy McDonald, of Raceway 7. Five-time Eriez Speedway champion Rich Gardner and Andy Boozel led the 16 Jay’s Auto Wrecking Super Late Models to Mark Matthews’ green flag with Gardner leading the pack through the first laps with Boozel hugging the low side.

Johnson spun in turn four. Under caution Johnson hit the car of Doug Eck in apparent retaliation, and was then disqualified from the event for ‘aggressive’ driving. At lap 7, former champion Mike Knight was alongside Gardner and took over the lead the next circuit. 2011 champion Dave Hess Jr. got by Gardner shortly after and began chasing down Knight. Knight was not to be denied though, and extended his lead over the remaining distance, interrupted only by a caution at lap 22 when Andy Kania spun down the front straight.

Hess wound up second with Gardner third, Boozel fourth, and a fast-closing John Volpe fifth. It was Knight’s second feature win of the season. The Dan’s Rt. 8 Boardwalk Bar & Grill FASTRAK Late Model feature had Kyle Zimmerman on the pole with Chad Wright outside. Zimmerman led the first five laps with Wayne Robertson coming by at lap six. Zimmerman was leading again at eight laps and went on to the win over Robertson, Chad Wright, Max, Blair, and Steve Dixon. The win was the first for Zimmerman at Eriez Speedway. Steve Kania led the Conway & O’Malley Limited Late Model feature from the outside front row with pole-sitter Dan Maxim following. Chris McGuire came to second in short order and managed to lead lap 9 but Kania regained the lead the next lap and then sped away to his third win of the season. McGuire came across the line second with Dustin Eckman, Jake Finnerty, and Maxim filling out the top five. The Gannon University Sportsmen feature was the first finale of the night with Wade Watson, who has dominated

the division all year leading the entire distance for his fifth feature win of the season in six weeks of competition. Following Watson to the checkers were Don McGuire, Tim Card, Jake Eller, and Jim Kibbe. The Bonnell Collision Center Street Stocks had the first and second point’s cars on the front row, Pat McGuire and Joe Rohrer. McGuire, the 2011 champion, took off with the lead at the start and was never headed although several cautions slowed the pace. Rohrer wound up second with Brian Crandall, Gary Fisher, and Ken Lamp Jr. rounding out the top five. McGuire had celebrated his birthday Saturday. Nineteen cars started the Kandy’s Dinner Theater Challenger feature. Steve Enlow led the first laps but experienced problems during a caution period and retired from the event. Tom Cupp and Jeff Nunemaker ran side by side until Nunemaker took over at the front. Kasey Hammond then took the lead and held it until the checkers for her second win is as many weeks. Second was Mike Rizzo with point’s leader Wesley Stull third.

Ironmen Announce 2012-13 Home Schedule Contributed Article Jamestown Ironmen

JAMESTOWN, N.Y. — The North American Hockey League (NAHL) has announced the release of the 2012-13 regular-season schedule. Entering its 37th season, the NAHL is the largest and oldest USA Hockey-sanctioned junior league in the United States. This past season, over 170 players made NCAA college commitments. The Jamestown Ironmen will be entering their second season at the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena. The season is fast approaching and the Ironmen just held a tryout this past weekend in Pittsburgh, Pa.

“We have had two great tryouts and seen some quality players,” said Ironmen head coach Dan Daikawa. “We are looking to be very competitive in this league this season.” The Arena is slated to host 28 Ironmen home games during the upcoming season. One change to the upcoming season’s schedule will be weekend game times. All Thursday and Friday games will begin at 7 p.m. just as they did last season, but in an attempt by the team to be more family-friendly, all weekend games will have an earlier 5 p.m. start time.

Sabres Set To Open Talks With Grigorenko By John Wawrow Associated Press

l l ast BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Sabres aren't wasting y, any time in their bid to sign their top draft pick, center Mikhail Grigorenko. General manager Darcy Regier said Monday that he's already informed the player's agent that he intends to open contract talks in the very near future. The Sabres selected Grigorenko with the 12th pick in the NHL draft on Friday, and believe the Russian-born player has the potential to make an immediate impact this season. Whether or not Grigorenko proves ready, Regier added that the Sabres aren't done stockpiling centers this offseason. After using two first-round picks — Buffalo also traded up to select Zemgus Girgensons with the 14th pick — and four of their eight picks on centers, Regier is now turning his attention to r- acquiring experienced players either through free agency or by trade. he “We're going to look for ways na- to improve the team, and that n extends beyond free agency,'' ure Regier said. “I don't think it's Cup fair to put it on these young nt,

fellows to step in immediately and contribute.'' Though vowing to be aggressive, Regier was cautious when it came to making guarantees because he projects the free-agent market to be thin on quality talent once it opens on Sunday. “There will be an awful lot of competition for really very few players,'' Regier said. “So most teams are going to fail in unrestricted free agency. Hopefully, we're not one of them, but that's the probability.'' Buffalo identified center as its most pressing need this offseason. And it's a position that's been lacking since the

team lost top-line centers Daniel Briere and Chris Drury in free agency in 2007. The Sabres are coming off a disappointing season in which a lack of chemistry and injuries led their high-priced roster to miss the playoffs for the third time in five years. Grigorenko, listed at 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds, played for Quebec of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League last season. He led the league's rookies with 45 goals and 85 points in 59 games despite dealing with an illness at the end of the season. Grigorenko is already living out of a hotel in Buffalo,

and intends to stay in town at least through the team's rookie developmental camp in two weeks. “For sure I want to play in NHL,'' he said Monday. “I'll do everything to make NHL.'' And Grigorenko regarded a potential labor dispute that could delay the start of the season as something that could help his chances. “Probably it will be better for me because I'll have more time to prepare to play in the NHL,'' he said. “So I'll have more time to get stronger, learn more things about hockey.'' Girgensons, listed at 6-foot2 and 198 pounds, is from Latvia but has spent the past three seasons playing in North America. Last season, his second with Dubuque of the U.S. Hockey League, he led the team with 55 points (24 goals, 31 assists) in 49 games, with six of his goals game-winners. Girgensons is committed to playing at Vermont this season. Regier said the team is taking a wait-and-see approach with Girgensons before opening contract talks. The Sabres also drafted centers Justin Kea (73rd overall) and Logan Nelson (133rd).

Rick Jeanneret To Call Full Season of Games in 2012-13

Contributed Article Buﬀalo Sabres

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Buffalo Sabres President Ted Black today announced Rick Jeanneret, recipient of the 2012 Foster Hewitt Memorial Award, will serve as the play-by-play announcer for all 82 Sabres broadcasts in 2012-13. The announcement comes after Jeanneret signed a new, multiyear contract in early June and made the decision to increase the number of games he called from an abbreviated slate of games the past few seasons. “Having RJ return to call a full schedule of games next season is great news for our organization and even better news for our fans,” Black said. “We are so lucky to have a Hall-of-Fame talent around on a full-time

basis again and, after his new contract extension, for years to come on our broadcasts.” Jeanneret, the longest-tenured broadcaster in hockey, will be embarking on his 41st season behind the microphone for the Sabres in 2012-13. He will be joined by Rob Ray, who has also signed on to serve as the full-time color analyst for the Sabres broadcast team for all 82 games next season. As this year’s recipient of the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award, the most prestigious award given to hockey broadcasters, Jeanneret will be officially honored by the Hockey Hall of Fame in a ceremony in November. Jeanneret was inducted into the Sabres Hall of Fame in 2011 and will be inducted into the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame later this year.

Sabres Deal Enigmatic Center Roy to Stars for 2 Players Free Agency News and Notes Contributed Article Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Sabres have acquired forward Steve Ott and defenseman Adam Pardy from the Dallas Stars in exchange for center Derek Roy. Sabres general manager Darcy Regier announced the trade Monday. Roy is entering the final year of his contract after underperforming last season for Buffalo. Following seasonending surgery to repair a torn quadriceps tendon in 2010-2011, Roy had 17 goals and 27 assists in 80 games last season. He scored at least 25 goals from 2007-2010 before he was hurt. Roy has 161 goals and 266 assists in eight NHL seasons, all with Buffalo. Ott had 11 goals and 28 assists in 74 games with the Stars last season. The 25th overall

''I think more than anything else, we needed to move the balance of skill versus the physical nature of our game, and become a tougher team

to play against,'' Regier said. ''Steve can play and complement the higher skilled guys and contribute in a lot of different ways. I think that he will be very valuable for us.'' Ott was fourth in the NHL last season with 278 hits. ''It's something I pride myself in, being at the top of leading

That's something I want to do, I want to be as consistent as possible, playing a mix of hard hockey with some skill set along with it.'' Pardy spent his first three seasons with Calgary before joining the Stars in 2011-12, recording four goals, 25 assists and 157 penalty minutes in 183 NHL games. Neither team made the playoffs last season. ''Derek Roy is a legitimate top two-line center, and has been productive throughout his career,'' Dallas general manager Joe Nieuwendyk said. ''He is a proven commodity that helps fill a void at a position of need for our club. We believe Derek helps make our hockey club better, and we are happy to have him.''

Gaustad, Preds Agree On Deal

Brodeur re-signs with Devils

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Nashville Predators and Paul Gaustad agreed to a fouryear, $13 million deal Saturday, keeping the 6-foot-5 American center from becoming a free agent. The 30-year-old Gaustad joined the Predators in February in a deal that sent a first-round pick this year to Buffalo. The Sabres also received a fourth-round pick in 2013. Gaustad had seven goals and 10 assists in 56 games last season for Buffalo, and added four assists in 14 games for Nashville. He had a goal and an assist in 10 playoff games. In seven NHL seasons, he has 71 goals, 114 assists and 591 penalty minutes in 493 games.

Catch Remains Inconsistent By Steve Peacock Star Outdoors Writer

The Walleye fishing was the best of the year for my friends and I on Sunday. We caught 10 keepers and one that we released. A lot of boats didn’t do as well as us this week. I heard several reports of three or four fish per boat. All

in all, I think there was some improvement over the previous week because I didn’t hear of anyone that caught none. Worm harnesses and stick baits seem to be what is working; however for us the action came on the harnesses. The situation with the perch is pretty much the same with inconsistent catches being reported. Everyone I talked to

at least caught some fish and a couple guys had gotten their limit. Right now it seems you would catch fish anywhere you go. I’ve heard of guys catching walleye and perch everywhere from twelve feet of water in the bay, all the way out past eighty feet. Both days last weekend the

lake became rough in the after noon but at the crack of dawn it was flat and nice. That is why we always head out as early as possible. Sometimes when we want to fish but we know Lake Erie is going to be too rough, we will fish in Chautauqua Lake instead. It is usually a lot calmer on those windy days but the Walleyes at Chautauqua are

very tricky to catch. I heard that this year it is so thick with weeds that you can barely fish. I also heard that many boaters have done damage to their boats by driving through the weeds. It is probably worse than normal because of the warm spring and the hot dry summer weather we’ve had. I can’t help but notice the abundance of small game

critters I’ve seen lately. I have more rabbits on my property than I’ve ever had before. Hopefully that means the coyote population is down a bit. I can’t remember the last time I heard the coyotes howling during the night. I always heard the predator and prey populations run in a cycle and are linked to each other.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article

Department of Environmental Conservation

Windy weather limited Lake Erie outings earlier in the week. For the walleye anglers that did get out, the bite was light. However, Barcelona anglers saw an uptick in walleye catches starting yesterday. West of the harbor, walleye schools are spread out between 60-115 feet of water (fow) and catches are coming from various depths. Leadcore with stickbaits has been a productive set-up. Worm harnesses are catching walleye too, but also many sheepshead and white bass. Depths of 60-80 feet are good starting points for Dunkirk trollers. Out of Buffalo, some of the bigger boats braved the waves and pulled some nice catches in 45-50 fow, near the international line. In that area, walleye are right at the bottom. Trolling worm harnesses was productive, but bottom bouncing has been a better tactic. Some good yellow perch catches

have been reported, but in most cases it took some searching to find a cooperative school. The area between Cattaraugus Creek and Sturgeon Point in 50-65 fow, continues to be the most productive zone. Emerald shiners fished on the bottom is a good bet, however some anglers report perch schools suspended off the bottom. Dunkirk anglers see modest perch catches outside the "perch buoy". Anglers target smallmouth bass in 20-35 fow from Barcelona to Buffalo. Smallmouth bass stick tight to structure, so good action can be found around reefs, rock piles and drop-offs. A drop-shot rig combined with crayfish, minnows, tube jigs or other plastic creature baits (especially round goby imitations) works well. Chautauqua Lake Anglers employ a couple different strategies when chasing muskellunge and both can be productive. Some anglers troll along weed edges, targeting musky that are waiting to ambush perch or sunfish.

Others troll in deeper water of 25-30 fow, targeting large musky that are suspended in the water column. Good trolling lures include perch pattern crankbaits, large jointed stickbaits, hot-n-tots and bucktail trolling spinners. Bass catches are common along weedlines or in open pockets within the weed beds. Productive methods include fishing with live bait (minnows, crayfish, leeches) outside the weed edge, dropping plastics or tube jigs in open pockets and retrieving weedless or topwater baits over submerged weeds. As always, yellow perch area available outside weed edges on small minnows. Upper Niagara River There have been varying reports from the Niagara River shore sites, depending on the day. At LaSalle Park, anglers report decent catches of smallmouth bass and yellow perch. Broderick Park anglers report a fair to good bite for black bass, rock bass and perch. On the northern tip of Squaw Island, perch and rock bass catches have

been good. Anglers at the foot of Ontario Street report fair to good catches of black bass, perch and rock bass. Live bait (minnows, crayfish and worms) is best. Most bass caught from shore have been sub-legal. 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. Tonawanda Creek/Erie Barge Canal Tonawanda Creek and the Erie Barge Canal are good places to catch smallmouth bass. Besides bass, anglers can catch a number of other warmwater species such as rock bass, bluegill, pumpkinseed, northern pike, bullhead and channel catfish. Downstream of Route 277, multiple municipal parks offer shore access to Tonawanda Creek. Upstream of the confluence with the Erie Canal, Tonawanda Creek is best fished from a canoe or kayak. There is plentiful shore access to the Erie Canal east of Lockport. Inland Trout Streams

Low and clear conditions are the norm on the area trout streams. Water temperatures are still cool, but climb in the afternoon. Fishing early or late in the day is a good bet, especially on sunny days. There are 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 (ants, grasshoppers,beetles). Spinning anglers do well with worms, salted minnows and small inline spinners. If you are a catch and release angler and use spinners, it is a good idea to outfit your spinners with a single hook rather than a treble hook. If you need more fishing information or would like to contribute to the fishing report, please call or e-mail Mike Todd (716-851-7010; mttodd@ gw.dec.state.ny.us) or Jim Markham (716-366-0228; jlmarkha@gw.dec. state.ny.us).

''I really didn't know where I was going to end up at, but it is a bit of a surprise,'' he said, tearing up when talking about his difficult journey that included the deaths

of multiple family members in college. ''I didn't work out for Sacramento at all, I probably talked to them about once. But I'm here, so I'm meant to be here.''

NBA DRAFT continued from pg 4 Drummond to Detroit, the Hornets rounded out the top 10 by taking Duke guard Austin Rivers with a pick they acquired in the Paul trade. Rivers hugged his father, Boston

coach Doc Rivers, who came to be with his family instead of with the Celtics, who owned two later firstround picks. Davis was the only clear-cut pick

CROSBY EXTENSION continued from pg 4 ing his lengthy battle with concussions despite rumblings about his commitment as his absence stretched from weeks to months. At one point the players all donned ''C''s on their practice jerseys as a sign of solidarity. The new deal means Crosby will be a part of the team's core until he's at least 37. ''In an era when players often move from team to team, it's gratifying to see a young man who is so committed to one city and one franchise,'' Penguins president and David Morehouse said. ''He's meant

so much to the Penguins, to the growth of youth hockey in Pittsburgh, and to the NHL and the game of hockey in general. It's a tremendous feeling to know he'll be here through 2025.'' Crosby was the best player in the world before taking head shots in consecutive games in January 2011 that forced him to sit out the rest of the 201011 season and an additional 60 games last winter. Center Evgeni Malkin blossomed in Crosby's absence, winning the MVP and the Art

ball tumble over the green and down an 8-foot slope. It looked as if it might be a two-shot swing for Van Pelt, or at least the lead going to the 17th. That's when Van Pelt answered with unforced errors of his own. His 6-iron was slightly heavy and didn't quite reach the bunker, meaning he had to plant his feet in the sand and grip the wedge on the shaft for his third shot. He moved it only a few yards, still in the collar of the rough, and chipped about 12 feet by the hole. Woods' chip up the slope rolled 15 feet by, and he missed the par putt. Van Pelt also missed his par Also in the stands were several putt, and they walked away heads of state. Italian Premier from that mess still tied for Mario Monti, along with other the lead. EU leaders, had said they ''It was difficult from the would not travel to Ukraine standpoint I had my legs in for the tournament because of the bunker, and if I hit that the politically tainted jailing of chip a little too hard it goes former Prime Minister Yulia over the green because you Tymoshenko.

''I was just trying to final in Kiev. get the ball up in the air and play it out to the right a little Spanish Prime Minister bit and just got underneath Mariano Rajoy also attended it a little bit.

Ross Trophy as the league's leading scorer in 2011-12. While the sublimely talented Malkin gives the Penguins one of the league's best one-two punches, there's no issue over who will have the final say in the dressing room. Crosby has 223 goals and 386 assists in his seven seasons, leading the NHL with 120 points in 2006-07 and 51 goals in 2009-10. He has added 90 points in 68 playoff games, including a league-high 15 goals during Pittsburgh's run to the 2009 Cup.

SPAIN WINS AGAIN continued from pg 4 ful through ball from Xavi and shooting past Buffon. ''The game was ours after the first goal, but the truth is that we played one heck of a game,'' Fabregas said. Italy's task was tough enough with 11 players, and it became impossible with only 10 after the 64th minute. All its substitutes were used when midfielder Thiago Motta, who had only been on the field for seven minutes, was taken off with an injury. Torres, who came on for Fabregas in the 75th minute, then added the third goal with a relatively easy finish and Mata really put the game away in the 88th, knocking in a pass from Torres.

''The second goal by Jordi hurt them, and then the third finished them off,'' said Casillas, who made a point-blank save on a shot from Antonio Di Natale at the start of the second half and twice tipped crosses out of danger just before the Italians could get their heads to the ball. With every save, and of course with every goal, the huge group of Spain supporters cheered and screamed. The red-shirted fans dominated one corner of the stadium, filling up more than six sections of the Olympic Stadium. On the opposite side, the blueclad Italians were far outnumbered, with dozens of empty yellow seats poking through the mass of supporters.

TIGER WOODS continued from pg 4 On the 17th, Van Pelt caught a flier from the first cut of rough and the ball shot over the green and near the grandstand, leaving him an impossible chip. He hit through the green and had to scramble to make bogey, and Woods took the outright lead for the third time all day — this time for good. He made a 6-foot par putt, taking a one-shot lead to the 18th, and played it to perfection. Woods has three wins, all of them in a different manner. He pulled away early at Bay Hill and played efficiently for a five-shot win; he rallied from four shots behind with an incredible chip-in late in the round and won the Memorial. This was a two-man duel he hasn't experienced in America since he was on the losing end to Y.E. Yang in the 2009 PGA Championship. One day after spectators were kept out of Congressional because of toppled trees and hundreds of limbs scattered about the course, they were as loud as ever. The marshals were back to work, collecting a half-dozen cell phones from fans who were caught taking pictures. Woods complained of a camera on his tee shot on the 16th, and having to back off his tee shot on the 17th because of another camera. That didn't happen on Saturday. ''As long as I won, I would be

OK,'' he said. In the final hour, it was clear this would come down to Woods and Van Pelt — one player with more than 70 career wins and another guy whose only official PGA Tour win came in Milwaukee, a tournament that no longer exists. On the golf course, they looked far more equal than their records indicate. Woods delivered a madefor-TV shot on the 12th hole when his tee shot left and close to a tree. He couldn't follow through without hitting the tree, and he warned the gallery that the 9-iron might snap in half. Instead, the shaft glanced off the tree and bowed at impact, while the shot sailed toward the flag and settled 30 feet away. Van Pelt was simply efficient. He twice missed birdie putts inside 15 feet, but he kept giving himself chances. In the end, all he made were mistakes, which rarely work against Woods. ''He's an amazing player,'' Van Pelt said. ''We've known each other a long time, probably 20 years. He's fun to play with. That's why you travel 30 weeks a year, why you get up in the morning and you the sacrifices that you do, to have the opportunity to play the best player in the world in the final round with a chance to win.''

Go with the flow

Teacher’s guidance aids learning process

The general stages you go through to learn golf are similar to other sports because all motor learning progresses by using the same nuts and bolts: (A) decide which movements you need to learn — setup, backswing, etc.; (B) choose the order in which to learn them; (C) mimic and reproduce each movement one at a time as perfectly as you can; (D) focus on the overall form of the swing (the pattern), which you repeat until all the pieces fall into the correct sequence. Subconscious sequencing is what your brain does for a living, so you don’t have to get involved beyond following the process outlined above. Thus the three key stages for you as a learner are from pieces to patterns to sequence. This fairly summarizes your journey from unconscious incompetence, where you don’t even know what swing pieces you need, to conscious incompetence, where you know the pieces you need, but don’t have them. Then you move to conscience competence, where you have learned each of the pieces but they lack a seamless sequence, to unconscious competence, where you can execute the whole swing pattern without thinking about the pieces. An 800-pound boulder teetering precariously at the top of the mountain has much potential energy waiting to be unleashed and can be ignited by the humblest of triggers — the nudge of a child’s hand can send it hurtling down the slope. It is the same with your golf swing. The trigger does not have to be powerful to create power. It merely needs ignition capability and then the sequence does the rest. In my experience, learners progress fastest when expert feedback is available at key junctures. This is called knowledge of performance, and it is where a good teacher comes in. Of course, it is possible to learn golf using only the feedback from your ball flight — “OK, I sliced it, so now I’m going to change something until I don’t slice it” — but this is a slippery slope. The chances are that before you figure it out, you’ll hit so many slices that, in effect, you’ve learned how to slice really well, making it much harder to change later on, even if you do find a good teacher. Takeaway: Find a teacher who understands how humans learn and has arranged his or her teaching model accordingly. Use the sequences outlined above as a template.

New sponsor

Nationwide is not on our side anymore, at least golf-wise. The company has dropped its sponsorship of the prep tour for the PGA Tour. The new sponsor is Web.com, for 10 years starting immediately. Web.com provides Internet services and marketing solutions to smalland medium-sized businesses.

Make a video of your swing and look for two straight arms. Both Arms Straight There is only one time during the swing when both arms are straight, and that’s just after impact. It’s a key checkpoint you can use to determine the sequence and flow of your swing. It’s impossible to keep your arms fully extended if your core has not done its job. It’s a good idea to pose with both arms straight in the post-impact position with the butt of the club pointing at your belly button. Then make some swings in slow motion, concentrating on keeping everything moving.

Accurate rankings?

Tiger Woods won his third PGA Tour event of the season at the AT&T National, but failed to advance in the Official World Golf Ranking, remaining in fourth place. In 2011, Tiger won his first tournament in two years, the Chevron World Challenge, a friendly gettogether of 17 of his friends invited to play with no cut in his own silly season event, and he jumped 31 spots from No. 52 in the world rankings to No. 21. And that event didn’t even count as official on any tour, including the PGA Tour. So go figure. We need a new world ranking model.

He’s back

Yes, he’s won three tournaments so far this year, and he’s risen from No. 52 in the world to No. 4. Oh, and he just passed Jack Nicklaus in total PGA Tour wins, but the real harbinger of Tiger’s return is not heralded by all this. It was a tiny happening that took place at the post-tournament interview of runner-up Bo Van Pelt. For five hours last Sunday, Van Pelt battled Tiger mano a mano, and yet, of the 13 questions Bo was asked post-round, nine of them were about Tiger. That’s a telltale sign that Tiger mania is back. QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“It’s not how good your good shots are; it’s how good your bad shots are.” This player is older, bigger and stronger, but much shorter off the tee than the younger play to the right because his pelvis sputters through the ball.

ASK THE PRO

Notice how far this younger, smaller and weaker player’s pelvis has moved toward the target just before impact. That’s why he’s much longer off the tee than the player to the left.

— David Feherty, who was a very good player back in the day.

BOOKS

Give yourself a break “Golfing Machine” engineers the game Q: My wife tells me I’m very hard on myself and get all down when I’m playing bad. I hate playing bad, so how can I be OK when I’m not playing well? — B.D. A: Nobody likes playing poorly, but it sounds like you need a new perspective. I’ll repeat what your wife has probably told you: One of the initial keys to enjoying golf is to stop judging yourself as “good” or “bad” based on how you play that day. Give yourself a break. You don’t think any less of an individual, friend or foe, if he blows a shot or a round. The problem is that our culture is very success- and performance-oriented. Our accomplishments give us pleasure, so in turn, our failures bring us down. The key in golf is to be at your best when things are at their worst. Anyone can be at their best when things are going great. (To Ask the Pro a question about golf, email him at: pblion@aol.com.)

There is no disputing the difficulty of reading “The Golfing Machine” by Homer Kelly, but at the same time, there is no disputing the accuracy of the content, either. Because he was trained as an engineer, Homer Kelly uses technical phrases and confusing terminology that only clutter the landscape — which is a shame, for there is a lot of good information in this book. Kelly breaks down the word “golf” itself into an acronym — G.O.L.F., for “Geometrically Oriented Linear Force.” And therein lies the gist of his whole book. He talks about G.O.L.F. as having two basic elements: the geometry of the circle and the physics of rotation. The geometric aspects of Kelly’s concepts are expressed in three basic imperatives of the swing: (1) a “flat” left wrist (for right-handers) at impact; (2) a clubhead lag pressure point at impact (the club shaft “leaning forward”); and (3) a

straight plane line (the tilted arc on which the club travels during the swing). There are three basic ways of applying force to the ball: “hitting” (like Arnold Palmer), “swinging” (like Annika Sorenstam), or a combination of both (like Tiger Woods). The book doesn’t favor one method over another since the author believes there are many ways to swing a club. “This book can support individual ‘MY way’ procedures,” Kelly says, “but no ‘THE way.’ The book’s technical approach and the maze of multiple-page references embedded in every paragraph make it almost impossible to finish one page without turning to another for a clarification. But many top teachers have acknowledged its influence, including David Leadbetter, Mac O’Grady and Jim McLean. “The Golfing Machine” can help you build a swing if you can find a translator or are of a technical bent yourself.

WHAT SCIENCE SAYS

EQUIPMENT

Value of mental rehearsal

Shaft flex must match swing speed

In my book “The 30-Second Golf Swing,” I devote an entire chapter to the power of mental imaging. Here is a quote from the book: “The fact that the central nervous system (the brain and the spinal cord) cannot tell the difference between a perfectly imagined event and a real one is documented in certain everyday experiences. Eastern European coaches pioneered the mental imagery technique of training their athletes to image their performance before their competitions. The results showed that the athlete was using 90 percent of the muscles in his perfectly imagined ski run that he would have used if he had been skiing for real.” I wrote this 12 years ago, when no one knew how it worked. Today, research suggests that many of the same neural networks used when

Where and how much your shaft flexes throughout your swing determines the flight of your golf ball. Your golf shaft deflection point is where the shaft bends most. The lower it’s located on the shaft, the higher the ball will fly. Conversely, flex points that are closer to the grip produce a lower trajectory. High swing-speed players do best with a high kick point, nearer the grip. Slower speeds do well with a low kick point, nearer the clubhead. The amount the golf club flexes toward and away from the target as it

you actually do something are used when you imagine doing something. Research done by Jeffrey S. Rossa, M.D., used golfers to test the power of imagery. He and his colleagues at The Cleveland Clinic Foundation produced a number of interesting findings about the brains of golfers who were learning the game using mental rehearsal. “A key assumption of this research,” says Rossa, “is that mental rehearsal is somehow analogous to the motor planning that occurs with natural movements performed without thought.” Takeaway: Science says you can make changes in the physical pathway devoted to a particular skill by using mental imaging or, said another way, you can “be there, do that” without having “been there and done that.”

GOLF SPOKEN HERE

Chili dip

swings increases as you lengthen the shaft, and so does the bowing down toward the ground called clubhead droop. Of course, both of these flexes (up/down and back/forth) affect the position of the clubface at impact, making the correct flex a key to both distance and direction. Generally, most players play with a shaft that is too stiff, and therefore must work too hard to get the clubface square at impact. If your shots are flying low and to the right, check your shaft flex before you make a swing change.

Also called “hitting it fat.” Usually a short pitch or chip shot around the green where you hit the ground before the ball. It’s caused most often by trying to get under the ball to get it into the air.

Mimicry not always flattery CBS and ABC face off over new reality series

By Dee Wright TV Media

etworks usually welcome a little bit of friendly competition. Once a new series premise is developed, other networks tend to take the idea, tweak it a little bit, and launch it on a different station. Such was the case of “Pawn Stars” vs. “Hardcore Pawn,” “Wife Swap” vs. “Trading Spouses,” and “Hoarders” vs. “Hoarding: Buried Alive.” “American Idol” on Fox was followed by NBC’s “The Voice,” and Fox’s “Hell’s Kitchen” led to “Top Chef” on Bravo. Even “The View” and “The Talk” are often lumped together, though they have different discussions and guests. “Big Brother” starts Season 14 on Thursday, July 12, on CBS. There are several reality shows that put strangers in a new environment and make them compete against each other for a variety of prizes. But every once in a while, someone gets their toes stepped on, and the lawyers are called in. CBS launched “Big Brother” in 2000, putting a group of strangers into a house that is fully equipped with video and sound equipment, recording their every move and conversation. Between Head of Household competitions (which are usually based on physical endurance) and in-house alliances,

Julie Chen returns to host Season 14 of “Big Brother” the houseguests are gradually evicted one by one, until only one is left standing. Houseguests compete for $500,000. Back in June, ABC premiered a series called “The Glass House.” It features 14 people who’ve never met as they live in a house made entirely out of glass, with cameras and microphones capturing everything. The fate of the contestants is entirely in the hands of the viewers, who control every elimination and detail by voting online. The winner will take home $250,000. If you think those two ideas are quite similar, you’re not the only one. In May, CBS sent a letter to ABC president Anne Sweeney informing her that if ABC goes ahead with airing “The Glass House,” CBS would take legal action. And since the ABC series premiered on June 18, there will likely be more legal recourse. According to the documentation filed by the eye network on May

10, provided by “The Hollywood Reporter,” CBS is concerned with more than just a similar game. “’The Glass House’ remarkably employs at least 19 former producers and staff from CBS’s hit reality television series ‘Big Brother,’ is a carbon copy of ‘Big Brother’ and an obvious attempt by the defendants to capitalize on its unique success,” states the complaint. “CBS seeks to stop the defendant’s blatant theft of its copyrightable expression, trade secrets, and other confidential and proprietary information.” Now, the idea that “Big Brother is watching” was hardly CBS’s idea in the first place. The concept was first discussed in George Orwell’s novel “Nineteen Eighty-Four.” Orwell presented the idea when describing that everyone is constantly being monitored by the government. The novel was released in 1949, and it took 50 years for someone to use it as inspiration for a TV show. In 1999, Veronica network in the Netherlands took the idea of constantly being watched and spun it into a successful series. Since then, the show has erupted to more than 40 different countries, each with a bit of a different spin on the original concept. These extensions usually still have “Big Brother” -- in English or another language -- in the title.

ABC’s new improv show reunites ‘Whose Line’ vets By Andrew Warren TV Media

cting is a tough gig. Good actors are masters of memorizing their lines and the nuances and inflections of every word they say. They’re aware of the movements of their bodies and the expressions on their faces. It isn’t easy, but imagine pulling this off without a script -- and with only one take to get it spot-on. This is what improvisational actors have mastered. Improvisational acting, usually shortened to “improv,” is simply acting without a script and with minimal time to prepare -- often just a few seconds. On Tuesday, July 10, masters of the craft take to the screen to act out memorable moments from celebrities’ lives in the premiere of ABC’s new improv comedy show, “Trust Us With Your Life.” The premiere will feature two back-toback new episodes, with guest stars Serena Williams and Jack and Kelly Osbourne, respectively. The first thing that probably jumps to mind for most TV watchers whenever improv is mentioned is the American version of “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”. Based on the British show of the same name (which itself began as a radio show in 1987), ABC’s “Whose Line” was the face of improvisational comedy for many Americans during its run from 1998 to 2006, and afterwards through syndication. These days, it’s drawn a significant cult following on the Internet. On “Whose Line,” four experienced improv actors played out crazy situations and scenes, often based on suggestions from the studio audience. The format was fast and loose, with host Drew Carey

Jonathan Mangum has had small parts in many popular TV shows over the years, including “The Drew Carey Show,”

“NCIS” and “The Sarah Silverman Program.” He’s also appeared in more than 100 national television commercials.

Each episode will also feature a special guest performer, who will add their own unique twist to the performance.

Lopez is the youngest of the group at the age of 24, and she has been working as a model since she was 18. Her parents divorced when she was a kid, so she has high expectations for the men she’ll meet because she doesn’t want her relationship to end the same way. As a devout Baptist, she is also insisting that her partner share her religious beliefs. COACHING THE GLEEKS: Fans of Fox’s “Glee” can’t seem to get enough of the musical comedy. While the series is on hiatus for the summer, they can look forward to seeing some of the show’s biggest stars act as mentors in upcoming episodes of Oxygen’s “The Glee Project.” The cabler recently announced that series stars Jane Lynch, Amber Riley and Chris Colfer will make guest appearances to coach the competitors. Also, “Glee” star Darren Criss will return to “The Glee Project” for his third stint as a mentor. “The Glee Project” launched last summer as a reality competi-

lagged behind the other major networks in producing a unique matchmaking reality series, but that’s all about to change. Later this month, it will debut a new dating show that will turn three unknown women into household names as they support each other through their separate quests to find love. The network recently announced the cast of “3,” which will premiere on Sunday, July 22, and it will feature April Francis, Rachel Harley and Libby Lopez. Based on a popular reality series from Israel, “3” will show how the women give each other advice as they narrow down their choices from nearly 100 men. Francis, 29, runs Chicago’s Haute Closet fashion service. She also created the city’s Dose Market and consults for high-end spas. However, this businesswoman would rather dedicate herself to being a wife and mother and is looking for a man who is ready for marriage. At 34, Harley is the oldest of the three women and certainly has a story to tell. She has two children and lost her husband to cancer in 2010, so any suitor will have to be comfortable with the fact that she’s a widow April Francis who already has a as seen in “3” family.

tion series that boasted a unique prize: a guest role on the hit Fox series. Season 2 got off to a strong start last month, but the episodes featuring the “Glee” cast members will certainly prove useful to the contestants, since each episode will be tied to their characters. Lynch, who plays Sue Sylvester, will kick off the celebrity appearances on Tuesday, July 17, to teach the competitors to gain more confidence and battle their jitters in an episode titled “Fearlessness.” On Tuesday, July 31, Riley will channel her character, Mercedes Jones, in the “Tenacity” episode to encourage the contestants to let their individuality shine. Criss’s return as a mentor will air on Tuesday, Aug. 7, in the “Romanticality” episode. Since his character, Blaine Anderson, first joined the show as a love interest for Kurt, it seems appropriate that he’ll return to “The Glee Project” to teach the hopefuls how to act in romantic scenes. Finally, Colfer will appear in the Aug. 21 episode called “GLEE-ality.” His character, Kurt Hummel, was the show’s first openly gay persona -- a move that earned him acclaim but also stirred controversy. He’ll talk to the hopefuls about how they can best fit in at McKinley High among the other characters.

role to make that happen. The actress, who has steadily been cast in child or teen roles despite the fact that she just turned 27 last week, will play a highpriced escort in a two-episode arc for FX’s “Sons of Anarchy.” According to “The Hollywood Reporter,” her tempting character, Emma Jean, will cause problems for the club. Her appearance in the hit biker drama will be featured early on in the series’ upcoming fifth season, which is scheduled to begin in September. Tisdale did guest roles on television for many years before landing the role of Sharpay Evans in Disney’s “High School Musical” film

franchise. She also played Maddie Fitzpatrick in “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody” and Savannah Monroe in “Hellcats.” Currently, she has a leading voice role as Candace Flynn in the hit animated series “Phineas and Ferb.” However, she’s made a push recently to break out of this youthful fare to take on more adult projects, and her upcoming appearance on “Sons of Anarchy” is just a part of that. Just before the guest role was announced, she was cast in a lead role for “Scary Movie 5.” Also, through her company Blondie Girl Productions, she is executive producing Bravo’s new unscripted show “Miss Advised.”

Major leaguers ready for Midsummer Classic

By Joel Duplessis TV Media

ith the dog days of summer in full swing, it’s time again to celebrate one of the most anticipated occasions of the baseball season -what is affectionately known as the Midsummer Classic. The league’s most feared hitters, fielders and shutdown pitchers will convene at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., for the 83rd edition of the MLB All-Star Game, airing July 10, on Fox. Fans will get a close look at three of the game’s most potent sluggers as Jose Bautista (Toronto Blue Jays), Curtis Granderson (New York Yankees) and Josh Hamilton (Texas Rangers) are ready to represent the American League. The AL is known for the long ball, which would explain why the league’s top three voted-in outfielders have over 20 home runs. Although Bautista got off to a slow start, he’s been scorching the ball lately. He’s on track to lead the league in home runs for 3:30 p.m.

a third consecutive year. Meanwhile, Granderson is again putting up eye-popping stats, showing that last year’s break-out season was no fluke. Hamilton started the season on a historic pace but he’s shown his human side in recent weeks. A key piece to the most potent offense in the AL, Hamilton may be the best all-around player in the game today. From the National League, Joey Votto is doing a fine Josh Hamilton impression. The Cincinnati first baseman has been tearing the cover off the ball while putting up numbers that have many drawing comparisons to Babe Ruth. All-Star games are often an offensive showcase, but it’s impossible to ignore the first half of the season that Mets starting pitcher R.A. Dickey has had. The 37-yearold knuckleballer has been unhittable to this point, going over a month from May to June without conceding an earned run. It will be interesting to see how opposing batters handle knuckleball on the all-star stage. (1:00)
