131st Chautauqua County Fair, July 23-29 Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Show, Stagecoach Outfitters, and Beatle Magic Among New Shows and Attractions

By Patricia Pihl Editor

While maintaining its agricultural roots, the 2012 Chautauqua County Fair continues to grow and has added a number of new attractions to its entertainment lineup.

For the first time in 13 years, the fair will also conclude with fireworks thanks to a sponsorship from 21 Brix Winery.

Kicking off the Fair on Monday is the Stage Coach Outriders, an old west sharpshooters and riders show which takes place at the Budweiser Grandstand at 7 p.m. According to publicity director Mike Ferguson, Stage Coach Outriders is not a rodeo show, but a nostalgic demonstration of the skills cowboys used long ago including bareback riding, skill and bow and arrow shooting.

Also debuting this year is the Paul Bunyan Lumberjack show - an ESPN style lumberjack competition, featuring real lumberjacks showing off their skills in such feats as axe throwing and log-cutting. According to Ferguson, a makeshift pond is also being built for a featured log rolling competition, also part of the show.

Ferguson adds, “This was a form of entertainment used years ago by lumberjacks to blow off steam.”

progress to the state competition.

“That winner will go to the nationals in Nashville, Tenn. where they will win a recording contract and cash.”

On Thursday, Maximum Force Wrestling also returns. Ferguson says and the Chautauqua County Fair is one of the few fairs to feature professional wrestling. Another first on Saturday is off road racing presented by the Western New York Off-Road Truck Racing Association.

For a complete list of events and attractions, visit the Fair’s website at ww.chautauquacountyfair.org or call 716-366-4752. The fair is open each day from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. and rides While the Midway is a mainstay, there are many new events at the start at 1 p.m.

RELIGION

The Offense Trap The Weekly Word

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church of the Southern Tier

Many people today are struggling through life as they try to carry excess baggage in the form of past hurts and grudges. Others have allowed their personalities to feed and thrive on controversies and scandal. People do not realize the emotional fatigue and stress they are bringing on themselves when they stay offended at somebody.

To remain defeated in life all you have to do is live in offense. 2 Corinthians 2:10-11 says, “To whom you FORGIVE any thing, I FORGIVE also; for if I FORGAVE anything…I FORGAVE it in the person of Christ; lest Satan

should get an ADVANTAGE over us for we are not ignorant of his devices.”

Did you notice who Satan gets the advantage over? It wasn’t the person who committed the offense; it was the one that refuses to forgive. The person who dwells on offense will live under the pressure and restlessness that demonic forces provide. Grudges and offenses will plague your mind and wear you out emotionally and physically. If you are constantly worn out, check up on your offenses.

Notice that these verses are written to a group of people who were given an opportuni-

ty to forgive. But look at what the author of the verse said: He said that he forgave this individual IN THE PERSON OF CHRIST. What does that mean? That means that under his own strength he could not walk in forgiveness. The only possibility of forgiving this offense was in the recognition of Christ. Sometimes that will be the case in our lives. Offenses can seem so huge that it will take a recollection of what Christ suffered to forgive us so we can forgive others. It may take a supernatural example of mercy to motivate us.

In Luke 17:1, Jesus says, “…

It is impossible but that of-

fenses will come…” Jesus was telling us that it is impossible to live in this world without somebody offending us in the flesh. The word “offenses” in this verse is a very interesting word. The original Greek word from which this word was translated means “trap” or “snare.” Offense will trap you into a world of defeat. Proverbs 18:19 says, “A brother offended is harder to be won than a fortress and their arguments are like the bars of a castle.” This verse paints the picture of the offended person: They are held captive in the bowels of a fortress; behind bars and a prisoner not easily rescued. Think about how a

prisoner lives. They are not well fed or well clothed. Their surroundings always seem drab and hopeless. They are constantly without someone to help them. Do not underestimate how your offense affects your finances, relationships, and peace of mind.

Spiritually speaking, our attitudes affect every area in life.

Don’t allow offense to hold you prisoner in a place where you cannot be helped. If life seems like a struggle, see if you are offended. If so then forgive that person. Be a blessing to them and live free.

Keeping the Faith

By Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church of Chautauqua County

Dear Pastor, what events are going to happen at “The Rapture?”

As we mentioned last week, although the word “Rapture” is not found in the Bible, it is a Christian term for the event of the return of Jesus Christ. It is during this time that He takes His believers into heaven as described in the Bible.

When it comes to the events that happen at the Rapture, Hollywood’s biggest action film doesn’t even come close

to what God has planned!

Let’s examine these events in 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17, “For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. (15) For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

(16) Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught

up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.”

From this passage we gain some insight into the order of events. When the day arrives, the Lord Jesus Christ will leave the throne in heaven with a shout of joy. While we are not sure what He actually shouts, we can infer from this scripture that if the Lord shouts for joy, it must be something that Christians can shout about, too!

• Veggie sandwiches – Sliced tomatoes, lettuce and avocado with cucumber, peppers or almost any sliced vegetable.

• Cut up tomatoes and onions, and add white beans and feta cheese with Greek or Italian dressing. Pasta can be added as well as well as any cut up vegetable.

• Try adding different sautéed vegetables to eggs and omelets, such as mushrooms, spinach, peppers or onions • Fruit and/or vegetable

• Snack, snack and more snack, on fresh fruits and vegetables. They are low in fat and calories, are extremely nutritious and taste great.

• Try a new fruit or vegetable.

Produce people can explain how to prepare it.

For more information, call: 753-4471, 661-7471 or 3634471

After the shout, the Archangel Gabriel will blow a trumpet and the dead in Christ will be raised up. This means that all the Christians that are in heaven will once again receive their bodies in a glorified state.

What modern film’s “special effects” could compare to the sight of dust coming together to form life-filled, glorified bodies? What a sight that will be!

According to the Bible (1 Corinthians 15:51-54) once the dead are raised up to meet

Jesus, then those Christians still living on the earth will also receive glorified bodies and be caught up, too! Like Jesus’ body after His resurrection, these new bodies will resemble us, but they will be supernatural.

After the Rapture, we will be together, forever with our Lord. This is the fulfillment of God’s promises in His Word and is something that we should not miss for the world!

EVERYONE HAS A STORY: Dr. Cynthia Lankenau Local veterinarian utilizes acupuncture, chiropractic care and homeopathic medicine

BY DANIEL MEYER Star Contributing Writer

The key to your animal’s wellbeing and long-term health may lie in the hands of a local veterinarian who specializes in preventive medicine.

Utilizing acupuncture, chiropractic care and homeopathic medicine, Dr. Cynthia Lankenau works with all species of animals in a holistic setting at her mixed animal practice in the Town of Colden.

Certified in acupuncture, chiropractic and homeopathy, Dr. Lankenau has worked as a veterinarian for over three decades, including 20 years practicing holistic medicine.

A firm believer in preventive medicine, her passion for homeopathic treatment is quite obvious.

“Preventive medicine is where it is at,” said Dr. Lankenau.

“Seeking out treatment through alternative methods s is for those who are openminded and willing to allow a s certified professional address your animal’s problems with the goal of restoring balance will to the body.” e Dr. Lankenau is a strong advocate for treating the ailments of animals by attempting to ur diagnose potential problems of early on through natural d hands-on healing methods as a complement to their animal’s rld! veterinarian care.

“This really is a whole different look at how to treat and care for an animal,” said Dr. Lankenau. “The thought is to try and avoid suppressing the system by helping to identify and treat a problem by keeping the animal balanced.”

problems that an animal may be suffering from.

“I strive to help introduce an organic lifestyle to each animal by educating the owner and explaining how these methods have been proven to be an effective alternative to medication for dealing with physical ailments,” said Dr. Lankenau.

The use of acupuncture with pets is done much the same way as with humans as tiny needles are inserted into various points of the body in an effort to improve circulation and release endorphins, which are the body’s natural painkillers.

Dr. Lankenau said the use of Dr. Lankenau with some of her favorite animals chiropractic care and other homeopathic remedies can improve their pet’s overall well-being and drastically alter their quality of life so that they feel better.

“This alternative medicine is not something that is taking the place of standard veterinary care, but what it does do is serve as another option and a resource to help pets recover from injury and illness,” said Dr. Lankenau.

While alternative medicine may not be for everyone, Dr. Lankenau believes it is an option to consider.

‘Kick Start Rumble’ Takes the Stage at Dunkirk’s Summer on the Lake Series

by Mallory Diefenbach Star Contributing Writer

On July 26 Kick Start Rumble will be playing vintage rock and roll at the Music at the Pier in Dunkirk.

Kick Start Rumble started three years ago when Mikey Pinelli, who goes by the stage name Mikey P. found an upright bass player after searching for a few years.

“I noticed around the area there weren’t too many bands doing vintage rock and roll,” said Pinelli, the lead singer and guitarist of Kick Start Rumble. “I kind of wanted to fill that niche.”

Kick Start Rumble covers a wide variety of music from Elvis, Stray Cats, Social Distortion, Buddy Holly, Johnny Cash among others, adding their own style and swing to the music.

“We also have our own music that we have been working on for the past six months,” said Pinelli. “We have been developing our own songs and what not, so we have about seven of those that we usually play.”

Besides Pinelli, the band consists of: drummer Jeffro D., upright bassist Junior Douglas and keyboardist Adam Schmidt.

Kick Start Rumble will be playing from 6 to 8:30 p.m. and will be sponsored by the SUNY Fredonia Incubator and SUNY Center for Regional Advancement.

Dunkirk’s Summer on the Lake Series provides music every Thursday until the end of August. To find out more information on future shows, visit http://visitdunkirk.com/ top-attractions/music-on-thepier.

Briana Palmer, left, from the Chautauqua County Department of Mental Hygiene, shows materials to Gracelyn Stevenson, 6, of Jamestown and her mother, Traci, at Prendergast Library, where she recently provided information about emotional well-being for young people. She answered questions on topics such as ADHD, coping skills, nightmares, fears and worries; discussed online and community resources; displayed related library books; and offered a free confidential screening questionnaire upon request. Her visit was sponsored by the state Office of Mental Health through grant funding for a new Early Identification & Recognition Program serving youth ages 3 to 21.

“This art contest is a wonderful way to get youth voices heard in Chautauqua County and to empower others to become a hero of hope,” said Victoria Patti, Youth Engagement Specialist for Chautauqua Tapestry. “Youth are wonderful assets here and we need to give them the tools and the outlets to make a statement, especially around something so important as mental health awareness.

The artwork has already been on display at the James Prendergast Library, Infinity and Performing Arts, and Family Service of the Chautauqua Region and will soon be traveling to City Hall in Jamestown and the Adams Art Gallery.

“These posters were made by children throughout our County and it is wonderful to see the people in their lives that they look up to as heroes,” said Edwards. “I hope employees and residents will take a moment during their day to view this creative and profound collection of posters.”

Entertainment at the Festival The entertainment list for the annual YWCA Westfield Arts and Crafts is being finalized.

Both Friday and Saturday there will be musical entertainment in the gazebo. Doc Hamels and Bill Drellow will begin the weekend at 11 a.m. on Friday, followed by Bill Ward, the Bonnie Loch Fiddlers and an Infinity Performing Arts Showcase. Saturday’s lineup includes Doc and Bill, Dave Issler, Dan O’Connell

and Crippled Fingers. “Each of the musicians is donating their time and talent,” reported Doc Hamel, “so there may be some timing adjustments and some additions to the lineup, but we’re confident that visitors to the Arts and Crafts Festival will be treated to some great music each afternoon.”

Anyone interested in providing music for the Arts and Crafts Festival is invited to contact Doc Hamels at 223-0112.

Babysitting Class Young people aged 11 – 15 are encouraged to contact the

YWCA and register for an upcoming babysitting class. “We are close to having enough students to schedule a class,” reported administrative assistant Michele Sunday-Warner.

“As soon as we fill a class we will schedule this training and notify the students. Families are looking for informal child care and this class will allow students to assure parents they have the knowledge and skills needed to care for their children,” she continued. Contact the YWCA at 326-2011 to be added to the list.

Office Hours “We’re moving into the final week before Arts and Crafts,” reported YWCA Executive Director Katie Smith; “we want to remind our members and visitors that we may be off site much of the time. Please leave us a message, call before you stop in or check around the building or in Moore Park to find staff.”

Membership Renewals Membership renewals can be paid at the main office during business hours or on Tuesday evenings at the office in the

rear of the building. Membership rates remain $20 for adults, $12 for seniors over 60 and $10 for youth. Memberships not only support the mission of the YWCA but they allow members to purchase visits for fitness center use, provide discounts on facility and room rentals and provide use of the gym and discounts on specific classes and programs offered.

Adult Gym Privileges Adult membership at the YWCA has been expanded to include use of the gym – on

a space available basis. Adult members interested in using the gym for basketball or other activities are invited to call the office and complete the reservation form. There will be no charge but a valid, current membership and a waiver form must be on file.

Non-members who accompany members will be asked to complete a waiver form and pay the $3 per time use fee.

More details are available by contacting the YWCA office.

An interview with Peter Yarrow of Peter Paul and Mary

Iconic ‘60s folk musician celebrates the group’s 50th anniversary on July 27 with a performance at Chautauqua Institution

by Patricia Pihl, Editor Editors Note: After meeting in 1960, Peter Paul and Mary began performing at coffee houses in Greenwich Village and released their first album in 1962. The group, known as much for its social activism as for hits such as If I Had a Hammer, Leaving on a Jet Plane, Puff the Magic Dragon and others, has been together for all but seven years, separating for time in the 1970’s. Peter Yarrow and Noel (Paul) Stookey have been performing as a duo since Mary Traver’s death in 2009 of leukemia.

Chautauqua Star: What led to Peter, Paul and Mary’s seven-year breakup in the 1970’s?

Peter Yarrow: “We needed a break during the first decade.

We needed to find out who we were individually. The group had overwhelmed us and taken over our lives.

My passions at that point were almost totally committed to ending the war, Noel (Paul) had a spiritual epiphany and became a born-again Christian and his view of what he wanted to share changed dramatically. Mary really wanted to spend more time with her children, as did Noel.”

(The group reunited in 1978, after singing to a crowd 17,000 at an anti-nuclear demonstration.)

Chautauqua Star: What do you attribute the group’s popularity and longevity to?

Peter Yarrow: “The most important thing was that we had a very clear sense of mutual purpose. We were really dedicated to using our music not simply to entertain, but much more importantly to serve as a vehicle for creating community and being a voice of consciousness and conscience.”

Chautauqua Star: Who were your earliest influences?

Peter Yarrow: “The Weavers, (an American folk quartet who performed in the ’50s and 60’s) were a great inspiration for me—these people were courageous and believed in the rights of common folks.

Their music was an expression of that commitment and we followed in their footsteps with pride. They could have probably reached the same people as PP&M if they had not been blacklisted during the McCarthy-era and not allowed to performed.”

Rotary Reflections

Contributed Article Westfield/Mayvile Rotary Club

A visit from Eleanor Roosevelt, a joint project and tips on handling grief were subjects of interest for the Westfield/Mayville Rotary Club recently.

Eleanor Roosevelt visits Rotary Eleanor Roosevelt was portrayed by Alice O’Grady, who had a varied career before retiring and devoting her time to writing. “Eleanor Roosevelt spoke to us as an American woman who visited Chautauqua County seven times,” O’Grady said “Anna Eleanor Hall, called herself by her middle name, Eleanor, because of her love for her father, who died when she was 10 years old; her mother died when she was eight years old. Then her grandmother insisted they live in Oyster Bay and the Roosevelts entered the picture.”

O’Grady explained when Eleanor was 18, she met Franklin Roosevelt, a cousin, who asked her to marry in 1905 when she was 19. Although she called herself an “ugly duckling,” she also said, “No one can make you feel inferior if you don’t let them.”

Several events in her life influenced her future: She learned of the affair between Lucy Mercer, her secretary, and Franklin; she became involved in women’s suffrage and gave her time to helping during World War II. Then, in 1921, FDR contracted infantile paralysis. It was then that she decided to “stand on her own two feet.”

FDR, however, was interested

in the columns Eleanor wrote six days a week. After his 1945 death, she was critical of him.

It was then that she made many changes in her life which brought her more and more into the public eye.

Ms. O’Grady, who served one semester of teaching after college graduation, joined the U.S. Peace Corps in 1961. She became a secondary school teacher in Ghana and stayed in West Africa for nine years.

After a stint in a variety of positions, including 13 summers as a staff writer for the Chautauquan Daily, she began a new vocation, that of bringing Eleanor Roosevelt to life.

Currently, she is doing the same for May West. In addition, during her career, she has authored a book about her African experience, “Ashanti Saga: The Fort.” She now is working on a sequel, “Ashanti Saga: Change of Plans” and is putting together the late wellknown Chautauqua Institution resident Florence Norton’s memoir.

Joint Rotary Project Greg Jones, a retired optometrist, was introduced by Sue Hammond, outgoing president, who noted that he served our country as a captain in the U.S. Army. One of his current community involvements includes being a member of the Chautauqua Lake Association board. In addition, he is the recipient of a Paul Harris Fellow award.

“Adopt-A-Shoreline Project” was Jones’ topic. A member of the Jamestown Rotary Club, he introduced a joint Rotary undertaking to “save” Chautauqua Lake.

The recently formed project is

aimed at urging all segments of society to become involved in an on-going 41-mile shoreline cleanup, he said. Part of the reason for this project comes from the fact that although Chautauqua Lake officially is owned by New York state, “No money comes from the state,” Jones said. Ergo, those who will be solicited to become involved include all service organizations (including Rotary Clubs), individuals, business and industry, plus lakefront communities and property owners.

Jones said that 25 percent of the county’s tax now is used for cleanup. “If the lakefront property falls,” he said, “all county taxes will have to increase.”

“The Jamestown club recently donated $5,000 to the CLA to get the project going,” Jones said. He noted there will be a shoreline cleanup from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 4, along Bemus Point, Lakewood beach, and Celoron and Mayville’s Lakeside Park. “This is not (only) a Jamestown program,” he added. “It’s all over the county.”

For further information, contact Jones at 386-4161 or email him at gregjones@stny.rr.com.

Grief Recovery Father Michael Jancek entered First Theology with the intention of being ordained into the Roman Catholic Priesthood and was a candidate/postulant and novice at St. Vincent Archabbey, Benedictine Monastery in Latrobe, PA. Born and raised in Erie, he made a decision in 2005 to enter a new path of Catholic faith – the Independent (Eucharistic) Catholic Church and

Your Retirement Is Definitely Worth Planning For You’ve heard it said before: Timing is everything. Especially when it comes to starting your Social Security benefits. More than 90% of working Americans are counting on Social Security to replace part of their current incomes when they retire, but the truth is the majority of those already drawing benefits receive permanently reduced amounts due to ill-informed timing decisions. In fact, many Americans fail to take into account the true impact of factors such as age, job status, taxes and marital status when deciding when to start receiving benefits. And that can prove to be a costly mistake.

Don’t make the same mistakes other retirees make. It could mean leaving money on the table at a time when you’ll need it most.

That’s why it’s important to develop a strategy to maximize your household Social Security benefits and enhance your overall retirement income plan. After all, a little planning now can go a long way – and in this case, we’re talking a lifetime.

is now an ordained priest for the church in the Franciscan Order.

Having earned his Master of Education in the field of Counseling/Human Development from North Dakota State University in Fargo, he was accepted into the doctoral program in the field of Counseling/Research and Supervision at NDSU. In 2007, Jancek completed training and certification for the Grief Recovery Institute and completed training and certification with the EMDR Institute.

Father Jancek has worked for 15 years as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Minnesota and North Dakota. Having moved to Mayville with his wife, Mary, last year, he is having his license transference to Pennsylvania and New York, both active and in good standing.

In 2007, Father Jancek completed training and certification for the Grief Recovery Institute, which is based on one person’s experience, John James, author of the book Grief Recovery.

James suffered the death of his baby when a nurse told him the body was gone. This broke up his first marriage. “He had so much inner pain, he attempted suicide,” Jancek said.

“Something stopped him and he wrote down his thoughts.

Thirty years later he wrote the book.”

The book came from his heart and experiences, Jancek added.

“He is now married and successful with the institute.”

Father Jancek soon will be opening a Grief Recovery Institute for classes in Westfield.

The International Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Show will get rolling this year as a new entertainment option for attendees of the 2012 Chautauqua County Fair.

With shows scheduled twice daily the first four days of the Fair and three shows slated to take place on each of the final two days of the Fair, the unique demonstrations feature a competition between two lumberjacks who thrive on audience participation to motivate them as they battle their skills out against one another.

The events included as part of each 30-minute competition are axe throwing, underhand chopping, one-man crosscut sawing, precision chainsaw racing, dragster chainsaws, and chainsaw carving. e to Each show will put the two lumberjacks on display as they show off their athleticism and mix in some humor as they perform their various demonstrations in a friendly compe-

tition that pays homage to the rich tradition of the logging business.

The Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Show has been providing family entertainment for close to 30 years, holding performances at state and county fairs, festivals, theme parks and major shopping centers.

Each show portrays plenty of what the lumberjacks refer to as “timber history” as they show how logging was done in the past and then compare it to today’s logging methods. The many technological advancements made over the years are also put on display, with comparisons of the old handsaws of yesterday to the speed axes of today.

The International Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Show will take place at the 2012 Chautauqua County Fair at 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Tuesday, July 24 through Friday, July 27. Shows are scheduled to take place at 2 p.m., 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Saturday, July 28 and at 2 p.m., 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Sunday, July 29.

periods of environmental stress. These organic products act like vitamins or immunizations, helping plants deal with extreme and often unpredictable weather, pest, and disease challenges.

You can even keep healthy plants performing their best by proactively using a plant strengthener. By doing so, you’ll boost a plant’s immune system before environmental stresses hit and ultimately help it thrive as it faces serious challenges throughout the remainder of the season. It’s a great way to protect plants before they become threatened.

Make sure to give your plants proper care throughout their lifetime. Water thoroughly and as needed. Then mulch the soil surrounding your plants with shredded leaves, evergreen needles, or other organic materials. These conserve moisture, keep roots cool and moist, suppress weeds, and

improve the soil as they break down.

And, if your plants experience the same problems each year, it is time to make a change.

Move stressed plants to more suitable growing conditions.

Match the plant to the light, soil, and moisture it prefers.

Replace diseased plants with resistant varieties and provide proper care.

By taking these steps and investing a bit of time and energy you’ll be sure to create a beautiful, healthy and productive landscape.

Chamber Gift Check Program In Transition August 15 deadline for use of all outstanding checks

We are witnessing a major shift in energy production in the United States. As new EPA standards for mercury and air toxins force many coalfired power plants off-line, an estimated 21,000 megawatts of power will be lost in the near future. With facilities slated for closing in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions, as much as 60,000 megawatts will be lost by 2017.

At the same time, the continued exploration of the Marcellus Shale has caused natural gas prices to plummet.

This price drop, teamed with higher emissions standards, has caused profitability of coal-fired systems to plunge, forcing even more of them to go off-line.

As a result of all this, Western New York has an opportunity to shine. NRG, a Fortune 300 company has proposed a $700 million dollar private investment in a combined cycle

natural gas turbine at the Dunkirk generation facility.

Folks, this is a big deal!

The proposal submitted by NRG points to five key ways in which this project aligns with the Governor’s Energy Highway Initiative: 1. Retaining generation at the existing Dunkirk sites assures that long-term reliability of the electric system is maintained.

2. Replacing Dunkirk’s coal-fired units with a highefficiency combined cycle unit contributes to an environmentally sustainable future for New York 3. Providing combined cycle technology in Western New York the project is capable of wind-firming that encourages the development of utility scale renewable generation.

4. The project creates jobs for New Yorkers with up to 500 construction jobs and more than 24 permanent jobs during the operations phase; and 5. The project seamlessly integrates with other New York centric transmission projects that connect Western New York to downstate.

This project needs local support as a great deal of work remains to secure approvals and permits. That is why it is imperative that we continue to communicate the importance of this project to our elected officials at all levels of government.

It is also important that we all take the time to thank NRG for singling out Chautauqua County for this significant investment. In addition, we ap-

plaud the hard work of Senator Cathy Young, Assemblyman Andrew Goodell, County Executive Greg Edwards, CCIDA Director Bill Daly, Dunkirk Mayor A.J. Dolce and International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, and Local 97 in support of this initiative.

As NRG roles out its proposal, the Jamestown Board of Public Utilities is also eyeing several options including installation of an additional natural gas turbine to maintain production capacity to replace the existing coal-fired plant.

Fortunately, the BPU had the foresight back in the late 1990’s to start a process that ultimately led to the integration of a gas turbine to supplement its coal-fired production. This investment has proven critical to allowing the BPU to be agile in a drastically changing energy market and able to continue to provide competitive rates and reliability within the utilities service territory.

Western New York, specifically Chautauqua County, has an opportunity to maintain a leadership role in energy production. As energy demand continues to increase and production capacity declines, Chautauqua County can play a role in filling at least a portion of the gap. Along the way we have the opportunity to maintain and expand job opportunities and grow our tax base, both elements of a strong local economy.

Q&A Not all fruits and veggies good for pets Q: We feed our dog raw carrots.

She loves them, but are they good for her? — via Facebook A: Raw vegetables and fruits are a wonderful treat. I often recommend carrots and apple slices as a substitute for commercial treats, especially for dogs who are pudgy. (Another easy weight-loss trick involving vegetables: Substitute thawed frozen green beans for part of your dog’s daily food ration. They’ll make your pet feel full without adding much in the way of calories.)

Not all fruits and vegetables are good for your pet, though, and some may even be toxic. The absolute nonos include raisins and grapes, onions and many nuts. When in doubt, ask your veterinarian or visit the ASPCA’s Animal Poison Control Center online (ASPCA.com/APPC).

Q: Can I give my dog garlic to control fleas? I don’t want to put dangerous chemicals on him. — via Facebook A: There’s no scientific evidence that garlic (or brewer’s yeast, which I’m also often asked about) will control fleas. And since garlic in its natural form can be toxic, don’t give it to your dog.

The best advice I can offer is to ask your veterinarian for one of the topical products that controls fleas.

These products are considered safe when used as directed on healthy pets. And when you consider the problems caused by an out-of-control parasite problem for both pets AND people, the risk-benefit factor becomes even greater on the side of modern preventives.

There are some “natural strategies” that can help, and you should try them whether you use topical veterinary-recommended products or not. Wash your pet’s bedding and vacuum pet areas frequently to remove eggs and developing fleas.

This will interrupt the life cycle of these parasites and drop the number of adult pests you’ll have to deal with. — Dr. Marty Becker Do you have a pet question? Send it to petconnection@gmail.com or visit Facebook.com/DrMartyBecker.

Dog Play – Fun Games to Play with Your Dog or Puppy

A protocol for dealing with ringworm is saving the lives of shelter cats.

• Ringworm is often fatal to cats in shelters — not because the fungal disease is deadly, but because many shelters kill pets with even mild diseases to prevent the spread of infectious conditions. Veterinary dermatologist Dr. Karen Moriello, clinical professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine, is working to change that. She has established a protocol to detect and treat ringworm in cats that is being used in shelters across the country, saving countless feline lives.

• Equine veterinarian Dr. Kent Allen of Middleburg, Va., filled in TheHorse.com on his role as technical delegate to the London Olympics. His job includes following 90 pages of veterinary guidelines for competitors in Olympic equestrian events, working with a team of veterinarians to keep the horses healthy (and pulling them from competition if they’re not) and making sure everyone is playing fair, with no unapproved performanceenhancing substances. “It’s not a slap on the hand and a fine anymore,” said Dr. Allen of the strict anti-doping policy. “It’s getting to be more like [the anti-doping policies for] the athletes in other sports.”

• The nonprofit Rural Area Veterinary Services provides veterinary care to pet owners who don’t have access, either due to their rural location or financial situation.

Sometimes working in MASH-like conditions, volunteer veterinarians, veterinary technicians and others provide help to nearly 9,000 animals a year. The care ranges from routine preventive medicine, such as spay-neuter, vaccines and parasite control, to treatment for serious injuries and disease. Donations are always needed to fund operations: ruralareavet.org. — Gina Spadafori

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pet of the Week

Contributed Article Shibishake.com

One of the best ways to turn our dog or puppy into a model citizen is to play fun games with him.

Dog play will help keep a dog busy, as well as channel his energy into fun and constructive activities, that does not involve any property destruction. Dog play will also help with obedience training, deepen our dog relationship, and establish us as the pack leader.

Here are some important things to remember while playing with a dog: 1. Establish dog play rules and enforce them consistently.

2. Remember to have frequent breaks during play so that the dog can refocus his attention on us. Frequent breaks will also prevent our dog from getting overexcited, and losing control of himself.

3. Keep sessions short, interesting, and rewarding. Stop playing before the dog gets bored, so that he will always want more.

Cycle through a variety of games. Variety is the spice of life!

Pet of the Week This week we are featuring “Oliver.” He is a 3-year old shepherd mix that has been at the shelter since May. He is a smart boy that would do great with some obedience training. Oliver has a lot of energy, so his ideal family will have time to play with him and take him for walks.

His coat is on the longer side, so weekly brushing will help to keep him looking his best. If you think Oliver is the dog for you, come to the Strunk Road Adoption Center and meet him. His personality will surely win your heart.

Wakefield has been adopted!!

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

Johnny’s Lunch, located on Fairmount Ave. in Lakewood, has maintained a successful and bustling dining business for nearly 80 years. Originally opening in 1936 in Jamestown’s Brooklyn Square, they relocated to the current location in 1976. In a true ‘Field of Dreams’ nature- they built it, and people came.

“We’ve got a lot of faithful local customers,” said Gioconda Calamunci, who is a 28-year veteran and manager of Johnny’s Lunch. “But, people come in from all over, too. They come for the main thing- the sauce, onions and mustard.”

What Williams is referring to is Johnny’s Lunch famous chili dog- the aptly named Johnny’s Famous. The signature sauce is a secret recipe, and one that Williams won’t be parting with any time soon.

“It’s a secret! John Colera, the

original owner, created the recipe. It has been around since the original store in 1936,” said Calamunci. “It’s a spice packet we prepare hereeverything is made on site.”

And it appears that Johnny’s Lunch knows no boundaries in terms of age for its customer base, either. Williams commented that the fall and winter may lose some of the tourist business, but with school back in session, hungry teens pick one place to go.

“We get lots and lots of buses in here every fall,” said Calamunci. “As soon as school starts back up, the sports buses start coming from all over- Fredonia, Dunkirk, Falconer, Frewsburg. We’re no stranger to being busy in the winter.”

Additionally, college students on fall or winter breaks often make grabbing a hot dog at Johnny’s one of the requirements of being home. When you’re as good as Johnny’sword of mouth and solid commitment will keep the money flowing.

Step inside the building and you’re greeted by a 1950s diner atmosphere. A few booths and tables make the up the comfortable dining room, with the kitchen wait-

“If it’s not broke don’t fix it. It’s worked for all this time, and we know it’ll work into the future.”

- Gioconda Calamunci, Store Manager

ing eagerly to fill your belly at the other side of the room.

The nostalgia is an enjoyable and fun way to dine, without overpowering your senses.

And if you’re in from out of town- or heading away for awhile, the secret sauce can be purchased, and often is purchased, in pints quarts and gallons. It makes the perfect gift for that someone who needs a little Johnny’s in their diet, but can’t get to Lakewood

At Johnny’s, “everything” means Johnny’s famous sauce, mustard and onions. It’s as easy as “Three with E,” that’s three mouth-watering hots with everything. Other condiments include ketchup, sweet relish, dill pickle and mayo.

to get it.

Looking to the future, Calamunci sees not much changing.

“I’ve been with them 28 years.

It’s been the diner thing the whole time,” she said. “It was originally all take out, but the menu generally hasn’t changed. That’s the philosophy of the franchise owners- if

it’s not broke, don’t fix it. It’s worked for all this time and we know it’ll continue to work into the future.”

Inconsistency. The Jamestown Jammers have battled it all year long in the first month of the season but after appearing to turn the corner with a six-game winning streak that brought the Jammers to an even .500 record at 12-12, Jamestown was abruptly swept by the Tri-City ValleyCats in convincing fashion.

An 11-1 drubbing Saturday followed by a sweep during Monday’s doubleheader sent Jamestown back to 12-15 heading into play Tuesday night. But it was the fashion in which it happened in what was particularly deflating. The Jammers were outscored 18-2 in three games and mustered

just one run and three hits in the 14 innings played Monday.

The Jammers have scored a leaguelow 95 runs in 27 games and is quite a distance from leaving the cellar. State College is 13th in the league with 108 (in an extra game), while the ValleyCats team that just swept the Jammers, leads the league with 151.

It’s been particularly terrible in the losses. Jamestown has stunningly scored just 24 runs in their 15 losses.

In all but five of those games, Jamestown was either shut out or scored one run, which is true for each of their last seven losses.

As a team, the Jammers are batting just .237 (12th in the NYPL) and

own the league’s worse on-base percentage of .301.

But while those numbers are terrible, the Jammers have been able to explode for runs at times. During the six-game winning streak that included sweeps over two of the better teams in the league in the Brooklyn Cyclones and the Vermont Lake Monsters, the Jammers scored slightly more than six runs per game and were held less than five just once.

Primarily that’s because the Jammers have four hitters going pretty well in Yefri Perez, Pedro Mendoza, Viosergy Rosa and Juancito Martinez. Getting production elsewhere, though, has been the problem.

Jammers catchers are hitting .155

(16-103) with one homer and five RBI. Backup first basemen Felix Munoz in 2-for-23 after a hot start.

Outfielders Jesus Solorzano, Cameron Flynn and Kentrell Dewitt are hitting a combined .216.

After what appeared to be a problem of clutch hitting earlier on in the year has simply turned into a problem of getting guys on base. They’re second last in the league with 76 walks, but that number is inflated thanks to Rosa, whose plate discipline has greatly improved this year. Rosa had seven walks in 41 games last year but already has 14 this year in 20 games.

But, the defense has been particularly disappointing as well.

Baseball Legend Willie Horton to Appear at Robert H. Jackson Center

form in an attempt to quell the chaos in the burning streets. Bravely standing in the midst of a crazed crowd, Horton pleaded with the rioters to calm down. Unfortunately, his efforts were in vain. The city burned for five days. ''It is a fascinating interplay between civil rights and baseball,'' said Peterson, noting that portions of the Home Box Office movie, ''City On Fire,'' will be shown. The documentary covers two tumultuous years in the history of Detroit (1967-68), culminating with the Tigers' world championship.

In all, Horton spent 14 of his 18 big league seasons with the Tigers, slugging 325 home runs, and garnering an American League Outstanding Designated Hitter Award and a Comeback Player of Year. Today Horton’s number 23 has been retired by the Tigers, and there is a statue in his likeness at Detroit’s Comerica Park.

Simas Named Announcer For Gerry Rodeo

Greg Simas will be the master of ceremonies for the Gerry Fire Department’s 68th Annual PRCA rodeo.

(Submitted Photo)

By Paul Cooley Contributing Writer

One of the rising stars in the field of rodeo announcing has been signed as the master of ceremonies for the Gerry Fire Department’s 68th annual PRCA rodeo, which opens on Wednesday, Aug. 1, and continues through Saturday, Aug. 4 in their arena six miles north of Jamestown.

Greg Simas, a California native, is an ex-Marine sergeant who began his rodeo career with a five-year stint as a bull rider with the Military Rodeo Cowboys Association. He got into announcing by accident when the regularly scheduled announcer failed to show and he was drafted to fill in.

From there, his rise to become one of the top announcers in pro rodeo has been spectacular as he now announces more than 100 rodeos a year and has been selected for four consecutive years to the Dodge Ram First Frontier Finals as well as a three time performer at the National High School Rodeo Finals. He also announces for the United States Hot Rod Association Monster Jam Tour.

Kids’ Rodeo To Be Featured At 68th Annual Gerry Rodeo

By Paul Cooley Contributing Writer

A first ever free kids’ rodeo will be featured on Saturday afternoon, Aug. 3, as part of the Gerry Fire Department’s 68th annual professional rodeo when kids eight and under will be able to compete in the arena in rodeo related events.

Shana Graham, sales and marketing manager for Painted Pony Pro Rodeo, this year’s stock contractor, will direct the activities which include Hula Hoop roping, a stick horse barrel race, stick bull riding, and a boot n’ shoe race. Registration for the

afternoon’s event will begin at 3 p.m. with the signing of a release by parents and the presentation of a back tag for each child. The competition will begin at 4 p.m. with the National Anthem and a Grand Entry Parade by the kids.

The competition will be divided into two groups: ages 6 through 8 as well as 5-and-under. The first 50 registrants will receive a free t-shirt, and during the awards ceremony each child who has competed will receive a bandana and a certificate. Parents will be permitted into the arena to observe their children and are reminded to bring their cameras.

The kids are encouraged to dress in their finest Western wear, as a Championship Belt Buckle will be awarded to the Best Dressed Cowboy and Best Dressed Cowgirl. The midway with more than 20 vendors as well as the concession stands will be open following the conclusion of the kids’ competition.

Rodeo chairman Tom Atwell says this is another step in keeping the Gerry Rodeo a true family affair. He adds that families can also go to the rodeo website and download a free kid’s ticket which is valid for any performance with an adult admission.

This rodeo, which is now the longest consecutively running PRCA rodeo east of the Mississippi, opens in the Fire Department’s arena six miles north of Jamestown on Route 60 on Wednesday, Aug. 1, and runs for four nights at 8 p.m., concluding on Saturday night with more than 130 professional cowboys and cowgirls competing for $35,000 in prize money.

Why Penn State Needs To Be Punished

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

First and foremost, I think we all recognize how Jerry ms Sandusky is the devil reincarnated in life form. He is deservedly in jail for the rest of his life and hopefully it is bes a small token of reward for St., the victims and the families rty of those victims. od It goes without saying that what he did was beyond wrong, and what the others in charge at Penn State University did to cover it up was as equally as wrong. e But this is a sports page and more notably, a sports e column. I don’t want to delve re into the moral responsibilies ties of former head coach Joe ute Paterno and former presind dent Graham Spanier prim., marily because that’s simply ht not what this is about. But in no way should the lack of s those actions be ignored. rize Regardless, the point if this r- is to decide where Penn State ach football stands. A recent, in.. dependent report conducted rry by former FBI director Louis . Freeh stated that Paterno and Spanier, as well as former y- athletic director Tim Curley, 716)had knowledge about the 47. allegations on Sandusky and decided against acting on them.

If you believe that report — and with the strong evidence supporting it, it’s hard not to — then the amount of options for the NCAA are ndy rather limited. n Back in 1986, the NCAA ww. handed down the so-called for “death penalty” to Southern on, Methodist University — bet) ter known as SMU — for “a 47 lack of institutional control.”

The program had organized paying for high school players to sign with SMU, and then gave them monthly payments while enrolled all through the booster proight gram.

It had done so for multiple years, perhaps more than a ng- decade, and did so with the nt knowledge of the athletic diat rector and the entire football e staff. city.While already being on probation, the NCAA stepped in s and cut the program off for o the entire 1987 season. They were allowed to play road games only in 1988, but the school declined. over In it’s history, the NCAA est has handed out the death e at penalty five times, but only o three in the last 40 years with um SMU being the only Division I program. All stem from recruiting violations (except Kentucky basketball in 1952, rips which was point shaving) er and have the common theme ed. of those in charge knowingly breaking the rules.

However, in the case of Penn State, it is not a footballrelated incident in that the only connection between the sport and the charges is rel the disgraced former coach. on Truth be told, Penn State football received no added en- benefit because of actions om being discussed. o But at the same time, I would argue Penn State did receive s to the benefit of future success

io

o

ut el-

because the heinous acts were not reported when they should have. Even had it been done at the end of Sandusky’s tenure as a coach, it would have been more than enough to cast a black eye on the program, and Paterno, that could have damned it for years.

Granted, the program likely wouldn’t have lost scholarships or faced any other penalties — a staff house cleaning probably would have sufficed — it still would have lost its reputation in the world of recruiting.

For that reason, and for the utterly cowardly actions — or lack thereof — of those in charge for several years, I’m not sure how you can use any term besides the “lack of institutional control.”

What might save Penn State though, was swift action once the matter went public.

The problem is, that “swift” action was more than a decade too late. Just as you have to credit the board of directors for getting rid of Paterno, Spanier, Curley and vice president Gary Schultz immediately, you have to fault them for allowing Sandusky to be allowed on campus a full 12 years after his retirement, in which he had an office and access to all Penn State facilities.

You also have to wonder how those four men managed to keep such a horrible secret in house for so long.

While it’s somewhat admirable Penn State has done everything since November to rid themselves of any association with this incident, including renaming “Paternoville” to “Nittanyville” I think its too late.

Punishing the players and coaches, including new head coach Bill O’Brien, that had nothing to do with this is a tough choice, but both O’Brien and incoming freshmen knew what they were getting into. Plus, players can transfer and not lose a year of eligibility, and in this case, likely not have to sit out the usual one year handed out by the NCAA. Also, any other sanction almost seems trivial. A loss of scholarships? No postseason play? Loss of nationally televised games?

Any of those would be negligible and offer that the NCAA largely ignored the case. Those penalties are for coaches who text high school recruits too much. To me, cancelling a football season is the only choice.

Offer hardship waivers to all players if need be to ensure innocent players don’t lose a season of eligibility.

After all, I believe this isn’t about punishing a program to be unsuccessful in the future. I don’t care how Penn State does on the field, but they shouldn’t have to struggle to win because of this. That’s not the penalty we should be aiming for.

It’s about not sweeping this act under the rug so the University can hide behind 100,000 fans each Saturday and cheer on a football team.

These games need to be cancelled and it’s not because the school will benefit financially, or even to show that what Penn State did was intolerable.

It’s for reasons much larger than football. We’ll see if NCAA President Mark Emmert feels the same way.

Martin To Lead Restructured JCC Athletic Program Contributed Article

Jamestown Community College

Keith Martin has been named the new athletic director at Jamestown Community College.

Under a revised program structure, Martin will have oversight of athletic programming on both the Jamestown and Cattaraugus County campuses. Ben Lindquist will serve as the assistant director of JCC athletics and will also assume responsibilities on both campuses. Bill Burk, former athletic director on the Jamestown Campus, will now provide full-time leadership for JCC’s Total Fitness program in Jamestown.

“We are very pleased with the expertise and depth of experience brought to JCC athletics by the leadership of Mr. Martin and Mr. Lindquist,” said Eileen Goodling, vice president and dean of student development. “Both are former JCC athletes and are dedicated to bringing the best possible experience to new generations of JCC student athletes.”

Martin joined JCC’s staff in 1999 as the FSA Total Fitness operations manager and women’s basketball coach. He will continue to oversee the women’s basketball program.

Martin graduated from JCC in 1986 and earned a bachelor’s degree at Eastern Connecticut State University. He was named the NJCAA Region 3 Division II Coach of the Year in 2002, 2007, and 2010.

In addition to coaching a variety of sports on the high school and college levels, Martin’s background includes administrative responsibilities at the New England Sportsplex and the Jamestown YMCA. He also served as a representative to the Connecticut State Sports Commission for Tourism.

Lindquist graduated from JCC in 1998 and earned a bachelor’s degree from Houghton College in 2007. More recently, he has been the athletics and recreation director on the Cattaraugus County Campus.

Besides college level coaching responsibilities in soccer and golf, Lindquist has also had a career as a professional baseball umpire.

“The new structure of JCC athletics, for both the Jayhawk and Jaguar programs, will allow them to be better poised to seek efficiencies in their practices, provide increased and supportive resources to both programs, and to have a strengthened team approach to athletics programming,” said Dr. Goodling.

JCC is a member of the Western New York Athletic Conference and Region III of the National Junior College Athletic Association. Intercollegiate programs in men’s and women’s basketball, soccer, and swimming; women’s volleyball; and baseball, golf, and wrestling are offered on the Jamestown Campus. The Cattaraugus County features men’s basketball and golf and women’s soccer and softball programs.

Paterno Family Denies Louis Freeh Report Findings

A Fair Tests Awaits At Lytham

By Doug Ferguson Associated Press

LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England (AP) — Ernie Els walked toward the century-old clubhouse that sits squarely behind the 18th green at Royal Lytham & St. Annes.

Just the sight of it Monday evening was enough to bring back a memory. It wasn't a particularly good one.

Els made a furious charge on Sunday in 1996, his first time in serious contention at the British Open. He chipped away at an eight-shot deficit to Tom Lehman until he was slowed by a bogey on the 16th and another on the 18th for This famous statue of legendary coach Joe Paterno outside the football stadium at Penn State could be taken down as reports a 67.

low amateur for the week at Lytham. Woods was asking Els for advice on whether he was ready to turn pro. ''He was trying to figure out his future, and I was trying to figure out if the guy was going to make double bogey or not,'' Els said. ''Tom made par and Tiger turned pro. I was (doomed) either way.''

Els broke into easy laughter. He eventually captured the claret jug six years later at Muirfield.

As for the kid at his table?

Woods turned pro, and now has three claret jugs among his 14 majors. Els has been a runner-up to Woods seven

times, the most of any player.

They are at different places in their careers coming into the 141st British Open, which returns to Lytham for the 11th time when it starts Thursday.

Woods has won three times this year on the PGA Tour, again is the betting favorite whenever he plays and needs only another major championship to shut up the skeptics who wonder whether he will ever return to being a force in golf. Els last won a tournament at Bay Hill two years ago, though he has given himself a chance in four tournaments this year, including the U.S.

Open last month at Olympic.

The state of their game might be defined by this British Open.

Royal Lytham & St. Annes is identified mainly by its size and its views, or lack thereof in both cases. It is situated on the smallest piece of property of any links course in the Open rotation, and it is the only course that does not offer a glimpse of the water — the Irish Sea in this case. A railway runs along the right side of the outward nine, with homes surrounding the rest of the property. And then there are the bunkers — now under debate whether there are 206 or 205 of them. Masters champion Bubba Watson counted 17 bunkers on the closing hole.

But perhaps the most compelling characteristic of the course is the list of Open champions it has produced.

Bobby Jones in 1926, the year he became the first player to win the British Open and U.S. Open in the same season.

Knicks' Kidd Arrested on DWI Charge in Hamptons

had pleaded not guilty to the DWI charge and was awaiting further court proceedings.

The Knicks, who signed the 10-time All-Star in free agency last week, had no immediate comment. Nor would they comment on their plans for Lin, even as speculation grew that Linsanity was headed elsewhere.

Kidd, 39, was alone in the 2010 Cadillac Escalade when it hit a pole and veered into the woods around 2 a.m. in Water Mill, police said.

Water Mill is a serene, mainly residential community east of Southampton Village.

Kidd's next court date wasn't immediate available. The DWI charge carries the potential for

up to a year in jail.

The Knicks signed Kidd away from the Dallas Mavericks in a deal that will pay him about $3 million a year. Kidd had played in New Jersey, leading the Nets to two NBA Finals appearances, before being traded to Dallas and remains fond of the New York City area, where his children continue to live.

The two-time Olympic gold medalist has been in trouble with the law before. While playing with Phoenix in 2001, he was arrested on a domestic violence charge, acknowledging he struck his former wife.

Kidd is second on the NBA's career lists for assists and steals. Coach Mike Wood-

son said Kidd, who helped the Mavericks win the 2011 NBA championship, would be a good tutor and backup for Lin, whom he said would open next season as the starting point guard.

Now he may not even be in New York.

The Knicks have repeatedly said they would match any offer for Lin, but the Rockets made it difficult with a threeyear, $25 million deal that's worth about $15 million in the third year. New York has until 11:59 p.m. EDT on Tuesday to match the offer sheet for the restricted free agent.

Asked if he could envision Lin being with the Knicks next season, All-Star forward Carmelo Anthony said: ''At this point there's a lot going on. I stay away from that part right now. I would love to see him back, but I think he has to do what's best for him right now.''

Anthony, speaking before practice with the U.S. Olympic team, was then reminded it's up to the Knicks, not Lin, to decide whether he stays or goes. ''It's not up to me,'' Anthony said with a laugh. ''It's up to the organization to say they want to match that ridiculous Continued on pg 10

teammate. ''It didn't look like he took two years off.''

The Mets have lost four straight and seven of 10.

Atlanta improved to a seasonhigh 10 games over .500.

Johan Santana (6-6) gave up eight hits, six runs, two walks and struck out three in five innings.

The Braves had placed just two runners in scoring position before Matt Diaz, who

began the game with a .514 in 35 career at-bats against Santana, doubled to lead off the fifth.

After Paul Janish walked on a slider that appeared to cross the outside part of the plate for a strikeout, Michael Bourn hit a one-out, opposite-field RBI double down the line in left to score Diaz from second and make it 1-0.

Mets pitching coach Dan

Warthen was ejected during a mound visit following Bourn's hit. When plate umpire C.B. Bucknor reached the mound, Warthen began arguing with him, apparently because Bucknor called Santana's fastball outside on the pitch that preceded Bourn's double. ''The Janish pitch — that was a strike,'' New York catcher Josh Thole said. ''I'm certain.

And then the backdoor sinker to Bourn - it was an outstanding pitch, and you ball that.

Again, it changed the course of the game.''

New York manager Terry Collins, who was ejected the day before, came on the field and spoke with crew chief Dale Scott near the third-base line, but walked back to dugout without further argument.

Martin Prado followed with a sacrifice fly RBI to score Janish, and Bourn crossed the plate from third on Jason Heyward's RBI single. After Chipper Jones singled, Freeman hit his 12th homer to Continued on pg 10

The Miami Marlins came to terms with their first overall pick, No. 9 overall, Andrew Heaney by signing the lefthanded starting pitcher to a $2.6 million bonus hours before last Friday’s deadline.

Heaney’s first stop is Jupiter, the spring training home of the Marlins and minor league headquarters. Heaney will throw in likely two or three games for the GCL Marlins of the rookie league before being assigned to next stop, where he might just finish off the 2012 season.

That rumored next stop is Jamestown. The short seasonA affiliate for the Marlins is a common home for rookies drafted right out of college.

On the current roster, 10 Jammers played college ball this past spring and another one, Austin Nola, was already called up to Greensboro.

In fact the only college player selected by the Marlins in the top 20 rounds that didn’t report to Jamestown was 18th round selection Patrick Merkling.

Thus, Heaney, being a threeyear player at Oklahoma State, would likely be ticketed for Jamestown, at least for a while.

And, if you don’t believe me, believe the Marlins beat writers. The Miami Herald, Palm Beach Post, South Florida Sun-Sentinel and Marlins. com all said Heaney’s first stop would likely be Jamestown.

Jamestown hasn’t officially been made aware of his whereabouts but some signs are pointing to the fact that Heaney will be in

Jamestown soon.

The last first round pick to play in Jamestown was actually last year when Jose Fernandez made one appearance last season (and was hit hard in 2.1 innings).

But before that, it hadn’t been since 2007 when Matt Dominguez played for Jamestown in 10 games.

Others include Chris Coghlan (28 games in 2006), Sinkbeil (5 games in 2006), Chris Volstad (7 games in 2005), Sean West (3 games in 2005), Ryan Tucker (4 games in 2005), Jacob Marceaux (10 games in 2005), Aaron Thompson (5 games in 2005) Taylor Tankersley (6 games in 2004) and Jeremy Hermida (13 games in 2002).

None of those, however, were top 10 picks. And only Hermida and Dominguez were top 15 picks.

Fernandez is the highest pitcher to ever play for Jamestown at No. 14.

Bayne to honor Coach Summitt Tennessee native Trevor Bayne and the people at Bristol Motor Speedway will honor a home-state sports legend during the Food City 250 Nationwide Series race on Aug. 24. Bayne’s Ford will sport a “We Back Pat” theme in honor of Pat Summitt, the all-time winningest coach in NCAA basketball history, who won eight NCAA national championships while coaching the Tennessee Volunteers women’s basketball team.

The sponsorship is intended to promote the Pat Summitt Foundation in its efforts to fight Alzheimer’s disease. Summitt was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s disease a year ago and retired in April.

Summitt also will be the grand marshal for the 250 at Bristol.

“Growing up in Knoxville, I’ve always been a big UT fan and an even bigger fan of Pat Summit,” Bayne said in a team release. “I have always respected what she stood for and how she conducted business …

“Now we need to carry on her winning tradition.”

The Bristol start will mark Bayne’s sixth in the Nationwide Series this year. His Roush Fenway team parked his car after the first five races due to lack of sponsorship.

Bayne returns to the Sprint Cup Series July 29 in the Wood Brothers Ford at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

hen Kasey Kahne and his crew chief Kenny Francis took over the No. 5 Chevrolet at Hendrick Motorsports at the beginning of this season, many in NASCAR figured they’d be a pretty sure bet to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup. After 19 of 26 regular season races, they’ve lived up to those expectations, but it could have easily gone the other way.

Kahne won at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sunday, his second win of the season, the other coming in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte in May. He’s now atop the Chase’s wild card standings with the two victories and a 12th-place spot in the overall standings.

His current positioning reflects a remarkable turn around from the crashes, driver mistakes and mechanical issues that had him 31st in the standings after the sixth race of the season, at

Martinsville, where he started on the pole but blew an engine and finished 38th.

While the victory at New Hampshire gave him an advantage over the other contenders who have just one win apiece for the two wild card spots, Kahne said in his winner’s interview that the pivotal win likely was the one in the 600.

“Charlotte to me was a big turning point for us,” he said. “It got our team really excited and going. [The New Hampshire win] is just another bonus. This should give the team some more confidence, myself some more confidence, and carry some momentum into these final [seven regular season races].”

At New Hampshire, Kahne benefited from a miscommunication between Denny Hamlin and his crew chief Darian Grubb. On the race’s final pit stop, Grubb called for a four-tire stop,

thinking that was what Hamlin wanted. It wasn’t, and while others who changed two tires quickly returned to the track, Hamlin went from the lead to 13th. He charged back to finish second, but was unable to overtake Kahne.

Kahne said that in racing the breaks have a way of evening themselves out, and this time he was a beneficiary.

“You have good luck at times, bad luck at times,” he said. “Some of ours wasn’t bad luck.

At Phoenix it was straight up driver error. We had some bad luck, some straight up mistakes, things to learn from. When you do that or have those mistakes, as long as you’re learning from them, you’ll be all right.

“But, yeah, the luck changed [at New Hampshire]. We had great luck today. For those guys to miscommunicate, that helped us a ton.

I’ll take ’em any way we can.”

Fellow drivers take ‘wait-and-see’stance on Allmendinger While the NASCAR world awaits the results of tests on A.J. Allmendinger’s B sample, Allmendinger’s fellow drivers generally are withholding comment about his suspension for failing a drug test.

Allmendinger’s publicist has said that the A test of the urine taken at Kentucky Speedway showed a stimulant, and many are wondering if it could have been ingested as part of an energy supplement of some sort that the driver took.

Matt Kenseth said he’s among those taking a “wait-and-see” approach.

“I think it’ll become probably more clear one way or the other once we hear the rest of the details from his side and from NASCAR’s side

– what it was, if we ever find out,” he said during his regular media appearance at New Hampshire. “I think everybody hates to see that, from the fans to especially the competitors.”

Kenseth said he does like having the drug testing program.

“Obviously, when you’re out there racing at 200 miles an hour, you want everybody to be right,” he said. “That’s what the program is for, so if there was something wrong, you don’t want to be out there with somebody if there’s something wrong with them.”

Kenseth also said he doesn’t use supplements.

“I know I’ve never in my life done an illegal

drug, and I don’t use any supplements,” he said.

“I don’t do any of that stuff. I know a lot of people do a lot of different workout stuff, I just don’t take any of that stuff.”

Carl Edwards said he’d like to see some changes to the testing program.

“I think the drivers need to get together, and we need to have our own group that is paid by us, that works for us, to be here in tandem with the NASCAR drug testers and have them test us at the same time so that we have not just an A and B sample, but an A and B testing facility, and we can all agree on that facility,” he said. “I don’t think it would be a contentious thing, I think that would remove almost all doubt in any situation of a positive test.”

Nationwide Series driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. turned in a gusty performance in Saturday’s race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway even though he didn’t win, and lost a $100,000 bonus to Austin Dillon. Stenhouse, who had been ill all week before the race, drove his No. 6 Ford to a fifth-place finish, but collapsed after he climbed from his car.

His crew chief Mike Kelley told reporters that Stenhouse’s illness, coupled with the heat at New Hampshire, was too much for him. Kelley visited with Stenhouse in the track’s care center, where he was given fluids before being released.

“He remembers we didn’t Ricky Stenhouse Jr. win the $100,000, and we didn’t get the finish we want- (NASCAR photo) ed,” Kelley said. “I know he’s alert, but he remembers pretty much everything out there.

“We talked about it a little bit, and I think he’s going to be fine.”

The $100,000 bonus is offered by series sponsor Nationwide Insurance through its Dash 4 Cash program to the highest finishing series regular in select races this summer. It is intended to raise the profile of the series regulars, who often lose the spotlight to the double-dipping Sprint Cup drivers who win the majority of the Nationwide races.

Sprint Cup regular Brad Keselowski, who won the F.W. Webb 200, collected $38,700, while Dillon earned $131,643 for his third-place finish.

Retro race products released NASCAR Licensing has announced a new line of “old” souvenirs that should be a hit with fans who appreciate the history and heritage of the sport.

New products being offered include T-shirts and hats featuring images and fonts from the 1940’s, ’50s, ’60s and ’70s.

Also, there will be die-cast cars such as Dale Earnhardt’s 1989 No. 3 Goodwrench Chevrolet, Junior Johnson’s 1965 No. 26 Holly Farms Ford, Tim Flock’s 1940 No. 91 Taft Sloan Garage Ford and Ned Jarrett’s 1965 No. 11 Ford.

before he can use them himself.

“Well, Keelan has his own everything because I didn’t want some crazy fan getting hold of his Twitter name or his website,” he said. “So he has everything that you could imagine from top to bottom just as more of a personal security… It’s more of just kind of protecting him than anything.”

Harvick said Kevin Harvick that while his(NASCAR photo) tory shows that his son is likely to try racing at some point, he’s not planning to encourage that.

“We’re hoping for golf clubs,” he said. “We’re hoping that we go in a different direction there. But, whatever he wants to do.”

At New Hampshire, Harvick was poised to win Saturday’s Nationwide Series race, but he lost the lead to eventual winner Brad Keselowski in the closing laps while trying to pass the slower car of Amber Cope.

In Sunday’s 301, he finished eighth to remain sixth in the standings.

Between racing at Daytona and at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Kevin Harvick became a new father.

Keelan Paul Harvick was born on July 8, the day after the Daytona race, giving Harvick several days to be with his wife Delana and their son.

He said mom and baby did fine during delivery, even though he didn’t get great reviews on his part.

“We went in, and she did a great job, and had a baby within about two hours,” Harvick told media at New Hampshire. “Dad waited a little long to get her to the hospital. I was obviously not her favorite person, as they told her they wouldn’t give her an epidural. She did good.

She had it all natural, no drugs or nothing.”

“We had a healthy baby boy, and that was the most important part.”

And like many a driver before him, Harvick agreed that family matters far outweigh anything that happens on the race track.

“That was the best moment I’ve ever got to experience in my life,” he said. “It is pretty neat.”

In a sign of the times, the Harvicks already have a Twitter account and website in their son’s name, even though it’ll be years

Dan Nocero Jr. Wins Maplevale Farms Super Sportsman Special

By Glenn Slocum Contributing Writer

BUSTI, N.Y. — Warm and humid, but no rain for the Maplevale Farms Super Sportsman Special as Dan Nocero Jr. continued to dominate the Super Sportsman division by easily winning the special.

Point leader Nocero Jr. was on the pole for the Maplevale Farms Super Sportsman Special and after two attempted starts, he led the first lap.

Jason Schumaker slowed causing the second caution. Nocero Jr., Watson and Tim Card were the leaders.

Card pulled off on the next circuit and the leaders make contact with Watson getting the best of it to become the new leader. Allen Yarbrough spun to a stop in the exit of turn two for yellow No. 3 with five completed laps.

Watson slowed to a stop causing caution four with six laps down. Nocero Jr. was back into the lead with Jim Kibbe second and Kelly Frederes third. Nocero Jr. ran the rest of the event unchallenged for his seventh win of the season.

Dustin Eckman continued his win streak getting win No. 4 in a Limited Late Model race he led from the start. Point leader Steve Kania went down a lap early in the event after a trip to the pits.

Eckman was the feature leader when the yellow flew on lap two for a stopped Kania. Steve Moynihan was second with Stan Davis Jr. third and Chris Ottaway fourth.

Ottaway passed Davis on lap 5 as Eckman and Moynihan pulled away. At the crossed flags Moynihan moved up alongside Eckman for the lead and after running side-by-side for two laps Moynihan fell back and Eckman was out in front by himself.

Tyler Green had come from sixth to the third spot and Ottaway was fourth. Ottaway lost the handle on the final circuit for only the second yellow of the event. The last lap dash ended with Eckman first followed by Moynihan and Green.

Brian Crandall led every lap of a caution-filled Street Stock feature to get his first win of the season with point leader Chris Withers second.

Gary Fisher won the second Street Stock feature.

The veteran Crandall started on the front row of the first feature and led the first lap. James Britt and point leader Chris Withers brought out the first caution on lap two. Crandall, Kevin Hill, Kevin Golden and Vic

Earle Jr. were the race leaders.

A six-car pileup in turn one on the restart caused the second caution.

Earle, Sam Courson, Eric Harvey, Steve Keith Jr., Kevin Hill and Jason Covey were all involved.

Three laps were complete when Sam Courson spun in turn three for caution three. Covey spun in the exit of turn two for yellow four. During the yellow Britt was sent to the pits with rear bumper problem.

Chris Withers was second after the restart with Crandall still in control.

Keith and Brian Wilson tangled on the front stretch for caution five with seven laps complete. Nine cars remained.

One lap later Earle ended his night with a spin in turn two and the race was down to seven competitors as Wilson went in with a flat. Harvey spun with 11 laps complete for the seventh yellow. Just as the two to go was signaled, Jeffery Keith and Britt caused caution eight leaving six cars

to run the final two laps. Crandall finished the race that he started in front.

Dick Barton won his 75th Super Late Model race at Stateline by out dueling Chad Valone early in the event and fending off a challenge by 2011 Champ Dutch Davies and David Scott at the end.

Richard Wojtowicz and Elaine Best were involved in the first caution of the second feature on the initial start. Fisher and Doug Moore were the leaders.

Moore slowed to a stop on the front stretch on lap 2 for the second caution and Chevy Sweet were the leaders with Jerry Fish in third. Sweet ended up facing the wrong direction when the field cleared turn four on the restart for caution three.

Cody Bliss spun into the infield on the restart for caution four and only one lap had been completed. Guy Adams did a 360 in turn two collecting Sweet with three laps down.

Officials started counting yellow

7

laps and the race was restarted with five laps down. Fisher led laps 6 and 7, but then the yellow flew for Todd Bacon and Adams. The race was restarted with one lap remaining. Fisher held on for the win with Wojtowicz second.

Justin Carlson made his first appearance in E-Mod victory lane.

Point leader Butch Southwell chased Carlson throughout the event.

A lap 3 yellow involving five cars caused the first caution in the feature. Carlson was leading with Mike Eschrich second and John Woodward Jr. third and Rich Michael Jr. fourth. Point leader Butch Southwell was fifth. Carl McKinney, Chuck Frye, Cale Crocker and Chad Carlson were among the cars involved.

Eschrich slowed with five laps complete for caution two. Carlson, Southwell, Mike McGee and Michael were the leaders. Carlson led but could not shake Southwell.

Greg Johnson was the next one with problems for caution three. Carlson stayed in front of Southwell and Michael moved up against the fence fighting for third with McGee. The high side worked for Michael as he passed McGee then Southwell.

Southwell fought back regaining the spot. Michael got a little too high on lap seventeen ending his evening against the turn four concrete.

Carlson, Southwell, McGee, Brent Rhebergen and Dan Davies were the restart leaders.

The top five remained the same over the final three laps giving Carlson his first win of the season.

Bittinger, McArdle Winners at Sirco Industrial Supply Night at the Races

By Branden Kaczay Lake Erie Speedway

NORTH EAST, Pa. — Lake Erie Speedway reached the halfway point of the season with Sirco Industrial Supply Night at the Races. The night included all six weekly racing divisions that included special Jensens Target Collision Compact twin 15 lap feature events.

The first Jensens Target Collision Compacts feature took to the track and a quick caution was called for a collision in turn two with driver No. 8 Robert Collins forcing him to leave the track. Thankfully, Collins didn’t receive serious injuries in the accident and hopefully will be returning to racing next week.

On the restart, driver No. 88 Dan Bittinger pulled ahead with an incredible lead of almost a complete straight away over the rest of the field. He dominated the first feature event of the night, which gave him the win with No. 89 Kyle Rourke taking second place and No. 96 Doug Hadley close behind in third place.

The second race of the night belonged to the INEX Bandoleros.

Caution flags flew early with the No. 01 Lexi Bohrer having technical issues that forced her to the infield for the evening. Another caution flag flew for No. 21 Tyce Church, which ultimately gave him the black flag with having radio issues in his car and unable to communicate with the officials. The last caution flag flew for No. 33 Hayden Fogle for aggressive driving.

The race out front was a good one as No. 71 Tyler McArdle pulled off an impressive second feature win of the season after strategically passing a lap car on the final lap, with No. 3 Jeff Dunfee battling most of the race close behind taking second place, and No. 32 Wesley McCray in a distant third place.

The NASCAR Modifieds raced in the third feature event of the night. A caution flag dropped on lap two with a collision involving No. 5 Dave Neubauer and No. 22 Ken Moore, Sr. sending both drivers to the back of the field.

On the restart, car No. 51 Jamie Hebner took the lead with a three-car length lead until another caution flag caused the drivers to restart after car No. 00 Adam Kostelnik spun out due to a

collision with a lap car No. 3 Mark Vandersar.

On lap 15, Hebner continued the lead with No. 14 Carter Mook right on his tail. Fighting for a top spot behind Hebner and Mook were No. 12 Scott Wylie, No. 77 Dave McAvoy, and No. 32 Eric McCray.

On the final lap, Hebner contained his lead as Mook and Wylie battled for the second place spot. Hebner captured his first feature win of the season, and a photo finish showed Mook in second place and Wylie in third place.

After a brief intermission, the INEX Legends came out strong to participate in the fourth race of the evening.

No. 163 Floyd Kent, Jr. took an early lead with No. 83 RJ White right behind him until No. 1 Brandon DeBrakeleer took second place

with an inside move.

DeBrakeleer continued the battle to the front again making inside move passing Kent, Jr. and advancing to an incredible lead. On lap 14, No. 62 Jason Knox made a move to take the lead leaving DeBrakeleer chasing after him. A caution flag dropped on lap 21 forcing a restart.

On the restart, Knox and DeBrakeleer battle it out for the top spot with No. 97x Evan Finley a few car lengths behind.

On the final lap, Knox takes the checkered flag for his third feature win of the season with DeBrakeleer close behind taking the second place spot, and Finley securing the third place spot.

The fifth race of the night belonged to the NASCAR Street Stocks.

was No. 19 Kaity Kicinski pulling ahead almost six-car lengths from the rest of the field. Kiciniski remained the dominant leader until half way through when No. 11k Dave Krawczyk made his way through the rest of the field to challenge for the top position.

With two laps to go, a caution flag dropped as No. 33 Tim Arthur ran into the foam block barriers in turn two causing a lengthy clean up.

After the clean up, the race went back to green but was stopped quickly by another caution as Arthur and No. 1 Vern Heddrick collided on the backstretch.

Although Kiciniski led the entire race to this point, she had a lot of work left to do to try to hold off Krawczyk for a green-white checkered finish.

Kiciniski was impressive at the end just as she was the entire race and was able to pick up her second feature win of the season. Krawczyk battled hard and was able to take home a second place finish, and No. 26 Ed McConnell secured the third place position.

With a special appearance from our Sirco Industrial Supply VIPs as honorary starters and pace car riders, the second 15-lap feature of

the Jensens Target Collision Compacts took to the track.

On lap 8, No. 96 Doug Hadley was forced to the infield for issues with his car smoking on the track. No. 14 Jim Tobin led the entire race with No. 88 Dan Bittinger following behind attempting to pass on numerous occasions.

On the final lap, Bittinger forces Tobin to the outside lane and passes on the inside to give Bittinger the win, Tobin finished in second place, and No. 81 Shane Forster finished in the third place position.

The final race of the evening was the Plyler Overhead Door Late Model division.

No. 65 George Skora III led the pack for most of the shortened 25-lap feature event while No. 32 Glenn Gault, Jr. and No. 48 Sam Fullone held the second and third place positions.

No. 56 Scott Skora experienced mechanical issues a little more than half way through the race, which forced him to the infield.

The race ended with George Skora III picking up his fourth feature win of the season, Gault, Jr. finished in second place, and Fullone finished in third place.

Much Work To Do Before London Is Olympic Ready

By Stephen Wilson Associated Press

LONDON (AP) — With the opening ceremony less than two weeks away, there's a mad dash to the finish line at the Olympics and it has nothing to do with sprinters.

Hundreds of construction workers are toiling away inside the Olympic Park, laying cables, installing seats and adding the last layers of sparkle and polish to the venues.

There's plenty to do.

“It's looking a bit industrial isn't it?” said Chris Allen, a Londoner who came to the edge of the park to have a look. “I am not seeing England's green fields. I do hope it's going to look better.”

Shades of Athens, where chronic delays pushed workers to the brink to complete preparations in time for the games to start in 2004? Hardly, say London organizers who have prided themselves on finishing their massive construction project ahead of time and on budget. Things may look a bit messy now, they say, but all will be fine by the time the curtain goes up, on July 27, when the torch is lit.

“We're not at the stage yet where we're ready to flick the TV on,” James Bulley, director of venues for organizing committee LOCOG, told The Associated Press. “The athletes aren't ready to start competing yet, either. We want all our venues to look absolutely spectacular and pristine.

“The venues are ready. We're now just doing the final setup for the games. We're in a good place. We're on track. There's nothing I'm worried about.”

The last few weeks and days are all about putting up signs, fitting in the remaining seats and completing the landscaping.

“We will be mowing lawns right up to the opening ceremony,” LOCOG chairman Sebastian Coe told the AP. The last thing organizers need at this point is a crisis over readiness of the venues. At the moment, they're coping with the fallout from a bungled contract by private security group G4S that forced the government to call in about 3,500 additional troops — many just returned from tours of duty in Afghanistan — to fill the shortfall.

A walk through the 560-acre Olympic Park in east London this weekend, between yet another bout of rain showers, showed the scale of what remains to be done: a small army of workers, a sea of white tents, cranes, bulldozers, upturned tables and chairs, humming generators, television cables and rigging, a maze of fences.

Paul Gauger, who works for the tourism agency Visit Britain, surveyed a sad-looking wild flower patch near the aquatics center but took it in stride.

“This is all cosmetic stuff,” he said. “Look! There are some flowers growing over there!”

Bulley said the venues, after the construction and fit-out phases, are now in their final “bump-in” period. Television networks from around the world are moving in and cabling the venues for their cameras. LOCOG's “look”' teams are completing the signage and color schemes.

Sports equipment is being shipped in.

“We're still putting in seats at probably 10 or so venues,” Bulley said. “We're putting in 1,000 seats a day.”

The “live site” in the Olympic Park — a grassy area where spectators can watch the events on a giant screen and listen to musical entertainment — is also unfinished.

“The bump-in looks quite messy, but you leave this to the last stages,” Bulley said.

“It's always the last thing you do in getting events ready. We want to work these venues right up to when the athletes are coming in so they look as good as possible.”

Olympic Park isn't the only place getting dolled up.

So is Horse Guards Parade, the ceremonial parade ground a stone's throw from the Prime Minister's Downing Street residence in central London, and site of beach volleyball. It's a temporary venue

which requires stands and 5,000 tons of sand brought in from a quarry south of London. Imagine a giant sandbox.

Work started only late last month after the Trooping of the Color ceremony marking Queen Elizabeth II's birthday.

Another key venue requiring special attention is ExCel. The conference and exhibition center in the Docklands area is being turned into multiple arenas hosting boxing, judo, table tennis, wrestling, fencing, taekwondo and weightlifting.

“We're well advanced,” Bulley said. “We'll be ready to hand those arenas over as of early next week. We took the venues later than many of the others. We've always known the period we've had to deliver these venues. We track them very closely. We're in super shape.”

International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge said it's normal for host cities to face a flurry of lastditch issues.

“It's not peculiar for London,” he said. “We've always had difficulties in the days leading up to the games in the previous games and the games were of an impeccable nature. This is something that does not worry us. We're confident that everything will be fine by the opening ceremony day.”

Even Andrew Boff, a member of the London Assembly and vocal critic of the Olympic project, has no doubts.

“It's the nature of any games,” he said. “They look unfinished before you get there. But the venues are ready. They've been tested. You can do a lot in 12 days. If it weren't ready, Seb Coe would have his Lordship or knighthood taken away.”

US Hoop Team's Workout Has Midnight Madness Feel

By Brian Mahoney Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Dancers were performing during breaks in the action.

Dunks were greeted with “MVP!'' chants.

Mascots, merchandise giveaways, and hot dog stands had the feel of an NBA arena, not the U.S. Olympic men's team's workout.

Of course this was no game.

As Allen Iverson would say: We talkin' about practice.

The U.S. Olympic basketball team went through a most unusual workout Saturday, an open practice for military personnel and families at the D.C. Armory that felt more like Midnight Madness on a college campus than a team getting ready to defend a gold medal.

“We understand it's kind of — actually every day with USA Basketball is a little bit different,'' coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “Not bad, but certainly different. But today was different in a very spectacular way. All of our guys were proud to be here.''

The best dunks were not by LeBron James or his U.S. teammates, but by G-Man, the Washington Wizards mascot who struggled a bit early before getting better as his routine went along.

Hey, mascots are allowed to be rusty during the offseason, too.

Of course, they don't have games that count in two weeks.

And while France, the

Americans' opening opponent in London, was playing an exhibition game against fellow medal contender and reigning Olympic silver medalist Spain on Saturday, the Americans were taking part in what felt like a pep rally, a workout environment loaded with distractions that called to mind Rocky's training camp before his first fight against Clubber Lang in “Rocky III.'' Yet because of the people watching, and Krzyzewski's military background, the day was worth it for the Americans.

“Coach K talked about this being such a great day for USA Basketball, but for America, and understood the significance of it,'' said ESPN analyst Jay Bilas, who played for Krzyzewski at Duke and served as the emcee of the practice.

“To be able to come here and say thank you for our men and women in uniform, they were here today but they've always been there, they've always been there for us. I think he understands it on a level that many of us can't be-

olympics

Anthony said.

Syracuse didn't hold Midnight Madness, the popular event in which teams hold a public workout at midnight on the first day practice is allowed, in Anthony's lone year of college. But he experienced what it felt like Saturday, going through drills before a sometimes loud crowd of thousands of fans.

“I never heard nobody cheer in practice before,'' Anthony said. “Coach K usually don't let nobody talk in practice, but I don't know how he was going to control to this crowd today.''

Put together jointly with Nike, the practice as part of what's called the “World Basketball Festival.'' Music blared outside and the sneaker company's influence was everywhere, from the merchandise stands to the display of sneakers worn by Dream Team members during the 1992 Olympics.

The crowd included Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, who dined with the Americans on Friday night, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, who played at Harvard, and former Georgetown stars and gold medalists Patrick Ewing and Alonzo Mourning.

They sat with their college coach, John Thompson, who understood why the Americans' motivation Saturday.

“That's what you do when you have a group of guys like this,'' he said. “You don't have to sit down with a lot of seri-

cause of the time he spent in and around the military, and how much not only knows it but feels it.''

Krzyzewski played and coached at the U.S. Military Academy and attained the rank of captain before resigning from the Army in 1974.

He has had a career-long dedication to USA Basketball, being involved with 12 teams as a head or assistant coach.

Bilas said when Krzyzewski and Jerry Colangelo began putting together the national team program in 2005, they sought to emulate the military in some ways.

Service people were involved throughout the day, from a shooting contest in which a representative from each branch teamed with a U.S. player, to a moving moment at the end of practice in which soldiers gave the American flag patch from their sleeve to a U.S. player to carry to London.

“Just being here in front of these guys, the troops and the military, you can't put into words how that made us feel,'' forward Carmelo Continued on pg 10

Serena Wins at Stanford in Final Olympic Tuneup

By Antonio Gonzalez Associated Press

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Serena Williams has spent most of her career matching - and often breaking - older sister Venus' records. After tying Venus for the most WTA Tour titles among active players, there's little left for her to equal.

Except Olympic gold.

Williams overcame a shaky start and two service breaks to beat lucky loser Coco Vandeweghe 7-5, 6-3 Sunday for her second straight Bank of the West Classic title in a final tuneup before the London Olympics.

Serena and Venus won gold in doubles in 2000 and 2008 and will go for a third again this year when play begins July 28 on Wimbledon's grass.

While Venus took home gold in singles in 2000, Serena has never medaled on her own. ''It would mean a lot to me, but I can't lay all my hopes and dreams on just that,'' she said. ''But it would mean a lot.

I would like to try to get one.''

Sustaining the moment has been a big reason behind Williams' busy schedule.

Eight days after winning Wimbledon, Williams saved a set point and won the final four games of the opening set. It was the 43rd WTA Tour championship of Williams' career, tying older sister Venus for the most among active players.

Williams even summoned her father, Richard, all the way from Europe for her final two matches to soak in the moment. ''I haven't won a tournament without him or my mom here,'' she said. ''I just felt like I didn't want to go out (without him). Plus, he's going to be at home watching everything here anyway.''

The first all-American WTA final on home soil in eight years was hardly a one-sided affair.

The 20-year-old Vandeweghe, who failed to make it out of qualifying and got into the main draw when Bojana Jovanovski withdrew with an injury, moved the 14-time Grand Slam champion and her highlighter-yellow outfit all over the court to give Williams her only real challenge of the week. Vandeweghe was aiming to be only the second ''lucky loser'' to win a WTA tournament and first since Andrea Jaeger in 1980 in Las Vegas. ''There's happiness that I'm in the final and there's sadness that I lost,'' Vandeweghe said. ''I just have to kind of put it on the back burner and move on.''

The final result remained the same for both.

Williams whipped a backhand crosscourt that Vandeweghe sent sailing wide for an early break to go ahead 2-0. In what looked to be another rout by Williams, the young American showed some fight.

Vandeweghe immediately

broke twice in the first set — both with Williams struggling on tosses into the sunny side of the court — and ripped a 121 mph ace in her next game.

But serving for the set at 5-4, Vandeweghe crumbled when she had the chance to put a dent in Williams' confidence before the London Olympics.

All it took was one point.

Williams walloped a soft second serve with another backhand crosscourt to save a set point. And on the sixth break chance of the game, Vandeweghe double-faulted — a theme throughout a sun-splashed afternoon in the biggest moments of the match.

She finished with five doublefaults and six aces. Williams didn't fare much better with nine aces and six double-faults, but she won 81 percent of her first-serve points and waited for her opponent to make mistakes.

Vandeweghe again doublefaulted to give Williams a set point at 6-5, and Williams smacked another backhand crosscourt that Vandeweghe barely got a racket on. Williams gave a light fist pump and stayed steady, just as she had for most of the last month in her latest rise up the rankings.

Another double-fault by Vandeweghe on break point gave Williams a 3-1 lead in the second set. Williams served out the match and put away one final forehand winner on match point, giving another light fist pump and showing little emotion - especially compared to her hug-filled celebration with family eight days earlier on Wimbledon's grass.

The fourth-ranked Williams, still jet-lagged from traveling more than 5,000 miles and eight time zones from the All England Club, never looked at her dominating best at Stanford. But she did exactly what she wanted all week: just win. ''I definitely think I survived,'' she said. ''I don't think I played my greatest. But I do think I was mentally there, and that helped me out a lot.''

Not only did she defend her points to stay on track to regain the No. 1 world ranking, she did it on a court that will forever hold a special place in her heart. The tournament is where Williams' comeback took shape last year when she beat Marion Bartoli in the finals for her first WTA title since returning from blood clots in her lungs and two foot operations that threatened her life and career for almost a year.

The last player to win consecutive titles at Stanford was Kim Clijsters in 2005-06.

Clijsters is also second behind the Williams sisters with 41 career WTA titles.

The previous all-American final at home on the WTA Tour came when Lindsay Davenport topped Williams in Los Angeles in 2004.

Inspiration for the statue came from a photograph taken during a playoff game in April 1975 and features all three members of the French Connection. The photograph, which was taken by Ron Moscati, is considered extremely rare because so few pictures exist with all three players in the same shot.

During the game in which the photograph was taken, all three players scored a goal to lead the Sabres to a win against the Montreal Canadiens.

“When the project was in its conceptual stage, Mr. Pegula made it very clear he wanted the statue to be based on an actual image as opposed to a fictional pose,” said Sabres Vice President of Creative Services Frank Cravotta. “We were lucky to come across such a great photo that provided a great visual to work with.”

left wing Rick Martin and right wing Rene Robert is widely considered to be one of the greatest forward lines in NHL history and remains the Sabres’ most celebrated offensive unit in team history.

The trio, all of whom were French-Canadian, was dubbed ‘The French Connection’ — after the 1971 film of the same name — and played together in the Blue and Gold from

1972-1979. During that span, the Sabres went to the playoffs six times, including the 197475 Stanley Cup Finals, and the three were honored with a combined 15 NHL All-Star Game appearances.

All three are members of the Sabres Hall of Fame and have had their numbers officially retired from use. Perreault, the winner of the 1971 Calder Trophy and the 1973 Lady

Byng Trophy, was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1990.

To design and construct the statue, the Sabres commissioned American sculptor Jerry McKenna. McKenna, who is based out of Boerne, Texas, is a distinguished sculptor who is well known for his sports statues.

He was named the 2003 ‘Sports Sculptor of the Year’ by the All-American Football Foundation in recognition of his 17 portrait busts in the Pro Hall of Fame, his sculpture of legendary Notre Dame football coach Knute Rockne at the College Football Hall of Fame and countless others throughout the country.

McKenna is a decorated Air Force veteran and received early recognition from his bronze portraits of famous Air Force leaders such as Generals Billy Mitchell, Ira C. Eaker and Jimmy Doolittle. His work can be found in museums, parks, churches, public buildings, universities, halls of

French Connection To Be Honored With Statue At First Niagara Center

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Sabres announced plans to honor the team’s renowned French Connection, one of hockey’s all-time greatest forward lines, with a statue outside of First Niagara Center. The statue will be part of a larger ‘Alumni Plaza,’ which is in the planning stages and will be set in the plaza directly outside of the arena. A special ek- unveiling of the statue will en's take place on Oct. 12 to coms memorate the 40th anniversary of the French Connection — first playing together in 1972. ing “History has always been an de extremely important facet of a our organization’s philosophy,” me. said Buffalo Sabres President 4, Ted Black. “We hope this en statue and the surrounding ‘Alumni Plaza’ will serve as a ce proper tribute to all the great cs. players who have made this franchise what it is today, while also serving as an inspiration to future Sabres fans e h

forward Marcus Foligno after camp wrapped up Friday. "To have that many fans head to the arena in the middle of summer shows how dedicated and awesome our Sabres fans truly are.”

Thirty-nine Sabres prospects took to the ice to complete the week of on-ice drills and practice sessions, as well as taking part in off-ice strength and conditioning training.

The goals of the camp were to show prospective players the fundamental ideas of the Sabres’ system and expose them

to the conditioning programs of an NHL player. Camp participants also studied and examined NHL rules and the successful techniques a player must possess to become a professional athlete.

Among other exercises, the prospects trained each day with Acumen Performance Group, comprised of retired Navy SEALs, at a local beach.

“We were trying to improve their (the prospects’) mental ability, stronger from the neck

up,” said Bill Hart, the CEO of Acumen. “At the end of the day, if we give them the tools to succeed and they apply those tools, they come out of it much stronger.”

"It was a tough camp for the boys but seeing all our Sabres faithful out there each day was great motivation,” said forward Luke Adam. “Our fans are incredible.”

Walleye Catches Increasing

By Steve Peacock Star Outdoors Writer

If you were ever thinking of going on a Lake Erie fishing charter, then now is the time.

The walleye fishing has been very good for the past month and I expect it will continue until fall. The only

boats that I heard have been catching their limit has been the charter boats.

My friends and I have been consistently coming up just short of our limit. Last Saturday we caught 12 walleyes with three of us on board.

We would have made the limit if we had not lost four or five fish, and two of them were just behind the boat.

I don’t need to catch my limit to consider our trip a success, but it is nice once in a while.

It amazes me to think about how many walleyes there must be in Lake Erie. Last weekend, some friends of mine caught walleye in one of the bays close to shore. I talked to some other fishermen who went out to the Canadian border and they where

also catching walleye.

We were out there basically half way between the two and caught walleye.

This tells me that the fishery as a whole must be in pretty good shape.

The perch fleet has definitely gotten smaller the last couple of weeks. I think this means that they are not catching them like they were. I did not talk to anyone who went perch

fishing this weekend.

One thing I did notice was the lack of perch on the fish finder while we trolled for walleye. I think they are spread out but they will group up again before fall comes.

One of these days I plan to go perch fishing after work. I just have to pick a day and hope the lake stays calm all day.

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).

The fishing hotline can also be heard at (716) 679-ERIE or (716) 855-FISH.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article

Department of Environmental Conservation

Walleye fishing stayed hot all across eastern Lake Erie this past week.

Similar to last week, Sturgeon Point leads the way with top catches coming at the International border in 60 feet of water. However, the action has definitely increased at other ports.

Anglers fishing out of Barcelona are checking in excellent catches of larger 'eyes in the 26-28" range straight out of the harbor. There appears to be a wide range of depths as well with some anglers bringing in good catches in 60-65 feet of water and others out deeper in 80-90 foot depths.

Out of Dunkirk, concentrate around 80 foot depths straight out of the harbor and west off Van Buren Point.

In both Dunkirk and Barcelona, several anglers reported catches of steelhead, brown trout, and lake trout as well.

Off Cattaraugus Creek, most of the walleye action is occurring west of the creek mouth in 80 feet of water. There has also been a good nearshore bite for smaller walleye occurring on any nearshore drop-offs using weight-for-

ward spinners or bottom bouncing.

Trollers using worm harnesses may want to switch to stickbaits as many anglers are reporting a high by-catch of sheepshead, white bass, and white perch while using worms. Again, remember that the minimum size for walleye remains at 15 inches with a daily creel of five fish per angler.

With the walleye bite so good, few anglers are fishing for any other species at the moment. Tops in yellow perch reports this past week was at 60 foot depths straight off the mouth of Cattaraugus Creek fishing live minnows on the bottom.

Some anglers also had success in shallower depths of 33 feet in this same area. Off Sturgeon Point, the best success has been at 62 foot depths.

Bass reports have been few and far between during the summer heat.

Most catches are coming from 15-30 foot depths off Battery Point, Van Buren Bay, Meyers Reef, Evans Bar, and any other rocky outcropping. Tube jigs remain a good bet in shallower depths, but drop shot rigs with live minnows, crayfish, tube jigs or other plastics are better bets at deeper depths.

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.

ROYAL ST. LYTHAM & ST. ANNES continued from pg 4 Lehman, nine months before his brief stay at No. 1 in the world. David Duval, two years after he dethroned Woods atop the world ranking.

Els recently told Scotland on Sunday that advances in equipment ''have had a huge effect on the ability of anyone to separate himself from the rest.''

But in links golf, he's not sure that's the case. Royal Lytham & St. Annes, at only 7,060 yards as a par 70, is not a course that can be overpowered, even in green conditions.

Links golf is at its best when the grass is brown from sunshine and dry spells, such as

Royal Liverpool in 2006 when Woods only hit driver once.

This year, when the rain never seems to stop in England, the course is softer and not quite running as fast.

Regardless, it's about keeping the ball on grass instead of in the bunkers. And it's about keeping it out of the rough, which Watson described as hay, and he wasn't joking.

With rain comes high grass, and it's so lush that Woods told reporters on Sunday that some spots were unplayable.

That much is certain. Aaron Townsend hit a shot into the rough to the right of the 15th

LINS FUTURE continued from pg 4 contract that's out there.''

The Knicks wouldn't comment on their plans and never even confirmed whether they had received the offer sheet from Houston to start the three-day clock for matching the offer.

Felton played well in half a season for the Knicks before he was dealt to Denver in Feb-

ruary 2011 as part of the package for Anthony. He struggled this season in Portland, briefing losing his starting job, but was considered an option for the Knicks if they couldn't land Steve Nash or Kidd to play with Lin. Now it may be Kidd and Felton.

USA HOOPS continued from pg 8 ous stuff.''

Despite all the noise, Krzyzewski and his players felt they got work done.

They scrimmaged more than he thought they would, time even put back on the clock to play longer at one point at the request of Kevin Durant, playing in front of his hometown fans. The Americans haven't been able to play much full court against each other while frequently short-handed during their training in Las Vegas.

They will have a normal workout Sunday before playing an exhibition Monday against Brazil, and believe Saturday got them more prepared for it, despite the unusual circumstances.

“It was fun, especially getting to play in front of the men and service women that protect our country,'' forward Kevin Love said. “So it was fun to be here play with these guys and put on a little show for the fans.''

green on Sunday, and it took a marshal standing only a few yards away nearly five minutes to find it.

Watson went around Monday morning before the heavy rain arrived, and he rarely showed off his pink driver. Even on the 592-yard seventh hole, he hit iron off the tee when a big drive would allow him to get home in two shots. It's all about staying in the fairway, and not deep in a pot bunker or buried in native grass. ''It's a course where there's a certain way you've got to play it,'' Els said, referring to tee shots having to be in the right

spots in the fairway. ''It's a lot like Hoylake. You'll have a lot of guys doing the same thing.

So it's the guy with the best nerves, the best shotmaking, the guy with the best putter.

It's going to come down to the final bit here. If you're not sure what you're doing, you're going to get yourself in trouble. You've got to be sure of yourself. ''It's a fair test,'' he said. ''You're going to get somebody good this week.''

The way the majors have gone, that could be just about anybody. The last 15 majors have gone to 15 players, a

streak of parity not seen in golf since 15 different winners from Nick Price at the 1994 PGA Championship through Lee Janzen at the 1998 U.S. Open.

Of those 15 major champions, eight have not won another tournament since capturing their major. That includes Webb Simpson, the U.S. Open champion who has played only twice since Olympic, and is not at Lytham because his wife is expecting.

The weather this week could determine how Lytham plays, with rain in the forecast and a

chance for some dry weather during parts of the weekend.

Lytham may look little, but it can play big. ''Like on the sixth hole,'' Els said of the 492-yard hole that will be a par 4 for the first time. ''You've got the bunker left, so I took 2-iron off the tee, and I still had a 2-iron for my second shot. You can do that. Make sure you get it in play. Or, you can take a chance and try to feather it through. There's all kinds of options here. This is great.

This is the best one I've seen in a long time.''

''He mixed his pitches well, and his command was outstanding,'' Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez said. ''A little better than I thought it would be the first time out. He gave us a hell of an opportunity to win the ball game.''

Santana hadn't pitched since twisting his right ankle while covering first base in an 8-7 loss to the Chicago Cubs on July 6.

Since throwing the Mets' first no-hitter on June 1 against St. Louis, Santana dropped to 3-4 with a 5.45 ERA in his last

seven starts. He has given up 11 homers over that span.

Santana, who hasn't gotten a win against the Braves since Sept. 2, 2010, had the shortest start of his career, 1 1-3 innings, in a 9-3 loss at Turner Field on April 17. ''We felt that we threw good pitches and didn't get the call,'' he said. ''It's tough when you have a game like this and one pitch could be the difference in the game. I didn't question anything, and it's too bad that a couple of pitches changed the whole ballgame.''

SHEETS RETURN continued from pg 4 give the Braves a 6-0 lead.

Ramon Ramirez and Miguel Batista pitched the last three innings for New York.

Kris Medlen replaced Sheets and gave up Andres Torres' RBI single to make it 6-1 in the seventh. Eric O'Flaherty got the third out of the eighth, and Anthony Varvaro pitched a scoreless ninth for Atlanta.

Sheets, unsigned after he missed all of 2011 following elbow ligament replacement surgery, escaped a jam in the third with runners on second

and third when David Wright flew out to deep right.

Sheets threw 88 pitches, 57 for strikes. In his previous start two years ago, he lost 2-1 to Boston while pitching for Oakland.

Making his 242nd career start, Sheets improved to 91-92 and lowered his ERA to 3.77.

Against the Mets, Sheets improved to 5-2 with a 4.05 ERA. The Braves purchased the former Milwaukee ace's contract from Double-A Mississippi before the game.

IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME

TEEING OFF

What’s missing in modern pro golf Click, click, click. About mid-afternoon last Saturday all over the free golf world you could almost hear the clicking of television remotes as golf fans fired off their opinion of modern golf. When Tiger bows out of a tournament, in this case because of a missed cut, all but the most die-hard fans change the channel.

The golf is still great, the purses large, the courses in superb shape and the players make lots of birdies. Plus the TV contracts are in place, the attendance is good and the tournaments are well-run.

So what’s lacking in modern play-for-pay golf? Personality, that’s what’s missing — friends who are larger than life.

The legendary players had histories, not just track records of stats. They were people we cared about, and they had identifiable traits we could hang our hats on: Chi Chi’s saber dance, Jack’s power, Arnold’s courage, the stare and paunch of Ray Floyd, the chatter of Trevino and the bulldog tenacity of Gary Player, the smallest of the Big Three.

They were people we seemed to know on a first-name basis and followed as Lee’s Fleas, Arnie’s Army and Jack’s Pack. And the nicknames: the Merry Mex, The Bear, The Black Knight, and of course, The King. We even knew their wives’ names — Barbara, Winnie and Claudia (twice).

Like our real friends, they were in our homes for many years, at our breakfast table with our coffee and the paper.

They’d come for dinner on Sundays at the Masters. We knew what their followthrough looked like and could tell who was who even from the back view.

We knew when they were injured, how the charity that was dear to their hearts was doing. We even knew when they were sued or made a bad business deal.

Some have said that the new breed of golfers should become personalities by interacting more with fans and being more “user friendly.” But if you have to change to become a personality, you’ll never be one. So for now, except when Tiger comes to visit, it’s “just golf.”

Spiral control The tilt and turn is a post-impact continuation of the downswing motion that is absent in the swings of most high handicappers, especially those who have been taught to “stay down.” The correct motion after contact consists of a spiraling up of the upper body as it winds itself around the spine and the forward leg.

When you think rotation, you will rotate. When you think tilt, you will tilt. Neither is exactly correct, so be careful what you think.

If all you do is rotate your body, your club is dragged across the ball at impact, producing pulls and slices. If all you do is tilt, your clubhead comes to the ball too steeply, causing fat shots and shots that fly to the right of the target.

But if you use the tilt-and-turn motion, the final leg of which is the spiral up, you will stay down when you should be down, and unwrap upward into a full release when you should be up.

The unaccomplished golfer who, on bad advice, forces his body to stay down as he swings through the

ball, fights ABOUT THE WRITER the forces Dr. T.J. of physics, Tomasi is a teaching which seek professional to continue in Port St. the rotation Lucie, Fla. Visit his of a body website at in motion. tjtomasi.com.

Interrupting your rotation by holding yourself down causes flipping of the hands and a flicking of the arms. Instead of spiraling up, you fire and fall back.

In contrast, the good player allows his body, including his head, to unwind upward around his spine after impact, with no restrictions on any part, right side or left. In other words, he achieves a full body release through the ball, neither adding anything nor holding anything back.

To get the feeling of the spiral up, place a ball where impact occurs and start from your finish position.

Now simply rewrap yourself to the top of your backswing, then swing back down again and hit the ball, concentrating on the post-impact feeling of the spiral up.

Following bad advice to stay down after impact interrupts the flow of the swing and causes this player to fall back after he’s fired the ball at impact.

The graceful power produced by a player of the first rank is a result of a wrapping and unwrapping action around the spine that involves both tilting and turning.

SCIENCE SAYS

Pay to show

CBS Sports columnist Steve Elling suggests that Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods received appearance money to play last week at the Greenbrier Classic ($1 million and $1.5 million, respectively). While sanctioned on other tours, appearance money is not allowed on the PGA Tour. But according to Elling’s sources, the rule was circumvented by saying it was payment for services rendered before or after the tournament, such as appearing at a clinic or a cocktail party. In reality, of course, the cash secured a commitment to play in the tournament.

Unfortunately, the sub rosa agreement said nothing about playing well; both Woods and Mickelson missed the cut.

EQUIPMENT

Loft angle

Loft angle is the angle measured between the hosel and the clubface, aka the slant of your clubface.

Lofts range from a couple of degrees on a putter to 65 degrees with a super lob wedge. Between each iron, there are 4 degrees of loft, so a 6-iron is 30 degrees, a 7-iron is 34 degrees, etc.

Each degree equates to 2 1/2 yards of distance, or a 10-yard difference between each iron.

While this is an approximation, it’s a handy way to figure out how far you hit each club. If your 8-iron goes 140 yards, your 9-iron goes 130, your 7-iron goes 150 and so on.

Loft has a major effect on the height of your golf shots. And it’s loft that causes the backspin on your ball, not the grooves on the clubface, which just give you a clean surface. Loft is the reason you pull your wedge (56 degrees) and pull-slice your driver (11 degrees), and also why it’s harder to curve a lob wedge than a 3-iron.

Trajectory is also affected by the center of gravity. When the center of gravity is high on the clubface, the ball flies low and vice versa. This is one reason rescue clubs send the ball so much higher than long irons of the same loft; their head construction allows for a low center of gravity.

Changing the lofts from the normal is called strengthening (less loft) or weakening (more loft). If your pitching wedge has 56 degrees of loft, you can change it to 54 degrees simply by bending it. If you do this with all your irons, you’ll hit them lower and a little bit longer, but with less backspin. You can also bend them to increase loft with the opposite effect.

Insider Takeaway: Approach loft as a choice, not as a given. The good player matches loft to need.

Rely on unconscious competence to prevent choking Is there a way to stop choking? According to Florida State’s William Land, Ph.D., there is. He concluded that the introduction of a secondary task while hitting a golf shot prevented choking because it allowed the player to execute using previously learned motor patterns without thinking about them.

“Findings from the present study supported the literature on attention and performance,” says Land. “Results were consistent with the explicit monitoring theory where performance breakdown under pressure is due to a disruption of automaticity brought about by skill-focused attention. …

(S)econdary tasks were shown to prevent skill-focused attention, thus securing automaticity in skilled participants.”

GOLF SPOKEN HERE

Hand mashie When a golfer breaks the rules by picking up a ball and moving it to a better lie. If he uses his foot to give it a kick, it would be a foot mashie.

The subjects used two simple distractions to divert their focus to a secondary task and force themselves to rely on their already-learned swing motion: 1. Participants were asked to speak aloud a letter of the alphabet each time they hit a putt.

2. Participants were informed that the goal was not only to putt accurately, but also to indicate the moment the club strikes the golf ball by saying the word “hit” out loud at impact.

Insider Takeaway: This study is a recent addition to a large body of research indicating that to play your best, you should rely on automaticity, or what I call “unconscious competence.”

THE GOLF DOCTOR

Pressure and your golf brain The interesting thing about pressure is that it isn’t “out there”; it’s inside of you. You create pressure through your interpretation of what’s happening to you.

“Choking” starts before you even hit the shot, when you turn inward to focus on your performance and its consequences.

Studies show that interventions like counting backward by twos from 100 increase the ability to hit golf shots under pressure. The counting is a disengagement strategy that prevents you from thinking about swing mechanics and their outcomes.

As I have outlined in my book “The 30-Second Golf Swing,” the best way to free up your mind on the golf course is to focus

on the characteristics of the target to the exclusion of everything else. This is the ultimate disengagement.

There are a wide range of techniques used by tour players to focus on the target. Tiger creates a detailed picture in his mind, then hits into the picture, while Nicklaus in his prime played a video.

“It’s like a color movie,” Nicklaus once said. “Only at the end of this short, private Hollywood spectacular do I select the club and step to the ball.”

Insider Takeaway: Whether you’re making pictures or watching a video, there is no room in the process for “I”-induced pressure.

The two lines drawn here illustrate the loft angle; it’s measured in degrees.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“When I was raising my

kids, I had them in ballet, dance, music, sports — they were in everything. Over there, if you play golf, you play golf. That’s what you do. And you do it all day.”

— LPGA star Juli Inkster, discussing the differences between the approaches to raising kids in the USA and South Korea.

Reminiscing from the Heart Village Historian and longtime Bemus resident shares history of Point.

By Scott Wise Star Staff Writer

Western New York is filled with historical tidbits of information that we often pride ourselves on. But each town and village has their own stories to tell, and thankfully there are those who find no greater joy than discovering the heritage of their communities and sharing that knowledge with the world around them.

One such lady is Mary Jane Stahley. Stahley is the village historian for the village of Bemus Point, and possesses a wealth of knowledge that has only grown

with time. As the village librarian for many years, Stahley assumed the role of historian in the 1970s.

“I’ve always been fascinated by the history of this area,” said Stahley.

“I was born in Jamestown, but my family owns this property. I was four when we moved here, and after my mother passed away in the 60s, my husband and I moved back here for good.”

Stahley’s home, a beautiful house on Lakeside Drive in Bemus Point, overlooks the lake and has given her access to the downtown area.

With a picturesque wrap-around porch, walking up to the home

looks like a scene out of a Hallmark Channel movie.

I sat down to listen to Stahley reminisce about Bemus Point. She shared with me much of the history from her own perspective, having lived in the same location for over half a century. I also gleaned from her the historical facts about Bemus Point, something that she shares in a historical book she and her daughter made in 2001.

William Bemus settled in the area in a log cabin in March of 1806.

“The Bemus family had left the Hudson River area and gone down to Tennessee by river through Pittsburgh,”

said Stahley. “It amazes me to think they moved their whole life by horse and buggy. They decided they didn’t like the climate- both weather and slavery- and came back up to settle in the Westfield area for the winter. In March, William Bemus and his family [complete with nine children] came across the frozen lake and he built a cabin in what is now Bemus Point.”

From there, growth was the only possible step.

Bemus began to build more cabins for his growing family, which was now expanding as in-laws (the Prendergasts, as it were) began to travel to the area.

Cabins were followed by saw and grist mills, and eventually an inn was built on Rt. 430 that established Bemus Point as a popular stagecoach stop. From there, the rest is history.

“There are thousands of his descendents still living in this area. I’m one

of them!” She said with a hearty chuckle.

Through her time there, Sthaley has been witness to a number of changes in the small village.

“The biggest change was the bridge in 1982 [referring to the I-86 bridge crossing from Bemus to Stow]. Until then, we had to take the ferry to get across.

It was picturesque, but extremely inconvenient!

We couldn’t get over in the winter or in stormy weather,” said Stahley.

“Lot’s of people have stories of being stranded on one side and needing to get across, me included!”

Another large change was the type of population at Bemus Point.

In her youth, Stahley recalls being one of a few who lived in the lakeside village year round.

“People always made fun of us kids for having to stay here all winter,” said Stahley. “But now, those people are all buy-

ing houses here! We just figured it all out a bit sooner.”

Being married to the same man for 56 years in Bemus Point gave Stahley a sweet life filled with grand memories.

But what helped her historical research was the fact that her husband often filled positions in village government, as clerk for many years and a multi-term mayor.

This provided her access to all the town minutes throughout Bemus Point’s history.

Looking forward, Stahley has the same hopes and dreams as any adoring grandmother in a small town.

“Of course I want it to stay the small village it is,” she said. “But I don’t blame the business people for trying.

The season is short and everyone has to make their money in six weeks. But I love it here, and I’d like it to stay the small place that it is.”

Join the Largest Disco Party on the Lake- Aug. 11 Dust off the old bell bottoms and platform shoes and get ready to dance.

Disco music will be alive and well on Chautauqua Lake this summer in the form of the Boogie Wonder Band. Crèche and WCA Hospital invite you to come out and party with them in Bemus Point, ‘70s style.

On Saturday, August 11 at 8:00 p.m., for the third straight summer, the Boogie Wonder Band will perform on the DFT Communications Floating Stage in Bemus Bay. This ten-piece retro/disco show band will take you back to the era of sideburns and afros.

Dan Dalpra, founder of the Bemus Bay Pops and owner of The Italian Fisherman, says, “The real story here is the ability to combine the quality brands of WCA Hospital, Crèche, The Italian Fisherman and the Bemus Bay Pops and produce an event that

will bring the community together for a great cause that benefits the entire region.”

“The setting for a concert on Chautauqua Lake is magical,” says Brenda Ireland, Chair of the WCA Hospital Board of Directors. “We are confident that the crowd will enjoy this picturesque setting, great food, and be thoroughly entertained by top-notch performers.”

This unique concert event will raise funds for Crèche, a local non-profit organization that has been helping children in our area for over 100 years, and for the pediatric patients served by WCA Hospital through the sale of limited, reserved seating tickets.

Two types of tickets are available for sale. The VIP ticket features an eloquent dinner and open bar served by a full wait staff on the Italian Fisherman Deck. The Preferred Seating ticket features hot

and cold gourmet hors d’oeuvres served on the Italian Fisherman Dockwalk and Lawn. Event sponsorship opportunities, which include Preferred Seating tickets, exist for businesses and individuals.

“We hope this event will increase the community’s awareness of Crèche as well as raise money to support children in need,” says Amy Turner, event organizer and Crèche board member. “In ad-

dition to the concert, we will be conducting a disco costume contest and a basket raffle. We invite everyone in our community to generously support our non-profit organization, the kids we are dedicated to serving, and our community hospital by joining us on August 11th for this spectacular event.”

A portion of each ticket sale will be considered a tax-deductible gift to WCA Hospital. Doors will

open at 6:30 p.m. for the VIP and Preferred Seating guests, followed by dinner and hors d’oeuvres at 7:00 p.m. and the concert at 8:00 p.m. To purchase tickets or to learn more about event sponsorship, please contact any member of Crèche, call 716-664-8423, stop by the WCA Office of Development, or visit any of these web sites: www. wcahospital.org, www. crecheforkids.org, or www. bemusbaypops.com.

Boogie Wonder Band A psychedelic discoinspired musical group, the Boogie Wonder Band features ten band members who have been performing together since 1996. The group has shared the stage with ’70s legends like Gloria Gaynor and Kool & the Gang, and played at events for Sharpie, Levi’s and Cirque du Soleil. Based in Montreal, they tour throughout Canada and the United States playing a funk- and disco-heavy set

Hadden Sayers- Texas Blues- July 21

On Sautrday, July 21, get ready to get your blues on as Texas born Hadden Sayers brings the “Texas Blues” to the Bemus Bay Pops.

Starting at 8 p.m., the show features Sayers, a hardworking Texas-born country man who had as rough a start as any in show business. After being turned down time and time again, he finally got his break.

Retired stonemason Conard McCorkle and bluesman Hadden Sayers, two men of completely different ages and backgrounds, forged an unlikely friendship while working together to rebuild a small lake cottage. Soon after, Grammy-nominated vocalist Ruthie Foster called in search of a guitarist. She had built her career in the Brazos Valley area of Central

list while wearing leisure suits and afro wigs.

With the release of six albums featuring numerous songs, the Boogie Wonder Band makes each show a little different than the last. Some of the cover songs they perform come from well-known acts such as Kool and the Gang, Donna Summer, The Bee Gees and many other party songs that people can sing and dance to.

“The idea is to give the audience the sights and sounds of the 1970s. 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.

Texas, Sayers’ old stomping grounds. The two musicians shared a love for the Brazos Valley hybrid of blues, Tejano, country, soul, gospel, and reggae. Sayers immediately began writing songs with Foster in mind.

Their duet “Back to the Blues” became the cornerstone of Sayers’ new album.

In 2010, Sayers spearheaded the creation of a new record

label along with Midwest investors and music industry veterans. Since then, his career has grown as he as pursued his love for music.

So come out to the DFT Communications Floating Stage this July for a performance that won’t leave you wanting!

Praise on the Lake

By Scott Wise Star Staff Writer

Most churches are thrilled to get new folks in their congregations, counting it as an accomplishment pertinent to their job description. While the Bemus Point United Methodist Church (BPUMC) is no stranger to church growth, they’ve adopted an event getting lots of attention around the area- and it’s one that takes place far outside the church’s proverbial four walls.

“We’ve been doing

Praise on the Lake for a number of years,” said Mike Quimby, worship director at BPUMC. “We started out with one Sunday every summer and it just grew from there, to where we are now with three- June, July and August.”

Praise on the Lake began as an annual event geared toward outreach- or sharing the gospel with the community. BPUMC forged a partnership with the Bemus Bay Pops that has since allowed for the church to host a contemporary worship and teaching service at the DFT Communication Floating Stage in Bemus

Point.

“It’s been a great opportunity because of our partnership,” said Quimby. “We’ve had guest speakers and contemporary worship.

It’s an opportunity for us to get out there without being flashy, but to take the message of hope that Christ offers to the community.”

While the event brings

out BPUMC church members and attendees, it also opens the door to the people in the area who may be looking for a church of their own.

“We get a lot of visitors,” said Quimby. “Our hope is that people visiting don’t already have a church they’re affiliated with. We want folks there that are part of our congregation or are looking for a church to call home.”

BPUMC also collects an offering at each Praise on the Lake, all of which goes toward providing needs for the local community.

“We’re continuing to try and find more ways to get outside the walls, to be a church without walls,” said Quimby. “We want to train our people to go into all the world and be the hands and feet of Christ.”

On July 22 and August 19, head out to the floating stage at 9 a.m. for a great contemporary service and hear what the ministry at BPUMC has to offer!

OKCable.

Duwende’s albums Radio Screaming (2004) and Collective (2007) won the 2005 and 2008 Contemporary A cappella Recording Awards for Best Pop/Rock Album and Best Pop/Rock Original Song from The Contemporary A cappella Society.

In May 2011, Duwende released their first cover album Remember: the Music of Michael Jackson, gaining them widespread acclaim.

The members are: Woody James (lead vocal, giutar,and harp), Jeff Fulkman (vocal,guitar, banjo), Paul Hess (guitar and vocal), Dan Angotti (bass and vocal), Rick Williger (keys), Jerry Simon (steel pedal), and drummer Joe Vitale Jr. (son of CSNY drummer Joe Vitale). The band grew out of the CSNY tribute band “OHIO”, which toured the midwest for six years.

Woody James was born James Woodruff on September 24, 1951 in Akron, Ohio. Growing up in Ravenna, Ohio, he started playing guitar at the age of 6. His musical career began

at age 11 as a summer fill-in with “Bobby and the Quantells” performing in Kent, Ohio. In the mid-60s, he co-founded the “Yeoman” with fellow partner Jerry Losh. Two years later, Woody joined the “Motley Odds”.

Jeff Fulkman formed his first band “The Megatones” in 1965. He later played the college circuit with “Old Joe Band” featuring A&M recording artist Marti Jones.

Before joining “Ohio”, Jeff played bass with local R&B band “Moxie”, who opened for Koko Taylor, James Cotton, and others.

Jeff left the CSNY Tribute Band “Ohio” to form “Reil Young” - a Tribute to Neil Young.

Joe Vitale Jr. is the son of legendary veteran drummer Joe Vitale (The Eagles, CSN, Dan Fogelberg). He has spent the bulk of his life growing up on the road with such acts as Joe Walsh, Crosby,Stills & Nash, Dan Fogelberg, The

Eagles, and many others.

Paul Hess taught himself to play guitar at age 8, and is one of the few lefties that plays a right hand guitar upside down.

He joined “Denim”, a Southern rock band, at age 14. He started “Rapid City Band” at 17, and has done session and tour work for the last 20 years.

Originally from Ravenna, Ohio, Dan Angotti started on trumpet at the age of 10 and continued with that through college at Kent State University. He picked up the bass at 15.

Right after college, Dan went on the road and toured the country for 5 years. He settled in Los Angeles for 25 years, doing studio work and touring throughout the world.

Presently, Dan has relocated back to Ohio and conducts the 18 piece Jazz/ Rock band “Danjo”. Dan Angotti joined the “Reil Young” tribute band in 2010.

Karen Durrant-Simply the Best Aug. 16

Join us at the DFT Communications Floating Stage for the best Tina Turner impersonation show in the world. On August 16 at 7:30 p.m., the Bemus Bay Pops will host Karen Durrant, who brings disco back with her award winning performances.

Born in Montreal, Quebec and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Karen Durrant is well known for her voice on radio, television commercials and as a recording artist and voice impersonator.

She has put together a tribute show that cannot

be compared. The show features three 45 minute sets of Tina Turner, The Supremes and Donna Summer mixed with The Pointer sisters, Cher, Gloria Gaynor, Gladys Knight and many other disco era performers.

The show travels internationally to Australia, Bermuda, Mexico and the United States. She has played for companies like GM, Bell Canada, Zerox, IBM and in various casinos and sporting events in both the United States and Canada.

The show also features two backup singers and

dancers with detailed costumes, hair and makeup of the disco era, giving the perfect illusion of the character Durrant is impersonating. Many people are astonished and shocked by the attention to detail and believe the real Tina Turner is there at the event.

Durrant is without a doubt the best Tina Turner impersonator you will ever see. The hair, voice, makeup are an exact copy of Tina’s wardrobe in The Wildest Dream Tour by Versace. This is a must see show to truly believe it all.
