For many long time residents of Celoron and other south county townships, Celoron Park was a place for parties, food, games and fun rides. But after the renowned amusement park disassembled in the late 1950s, it’s no more than a memory. Today, Celoron Park is a small and quaint place on a quiet Chautauqua Lake beach, but in its heyday it rivaled the famous Coney Island. “When you stand out here and try to imagine thousands and thousands of people, it’s amazing,” said Celoron Historian Becky Holmstrom. “It was a different time, more formal but it was still a place that people came The taboggan slide was a staple feature of Celoron Park, where guests could ride from three stories up into continueD on PG 13

History Lessons i’ve Learned So Far

MAIN

SPORTS

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 2013

It’s interesting that history has been traditionally taught with an emphasis on rote memorization of dates and places. While certain facts are important to context, history is ultimately about people- the circumstances and challenges they lived under, as well as what they feared or were motivated by. We imagine ourselves in their place; what if we had lived through that war, under a dated belief system, or in poverty without current economic safety nets? A benefit to writing much of the series “Lost Places of Chautauqua County,” has been the opportunity to speak to town historians and lay people who have made history their overriding passion. Their enthusiasm and years of unabated research has inspired me as well as provided a rich source of continued fasci-

nation. Yes, the stories of lost places are inevitably the stories of people’s lives and dreams, their successes, failures and circumstances. I’ve also learned that things aren’t always what they seem – and are usually greatly more interesting than how they first appear. Here are a few tidbits of local history interest I’ve picked up along the way: Hardly the scourge one might imagine, P.O.W. camps in Dunkirk and Brocton during WWII provided a fresh source of much-needed manpower for the area’s agricultural industry, with most prisoners considering their experience tolerable, if not pleasant. We have all heard about the importance of the railroad during the 19th century, but in fact, the railroad was the literal lifeblood of a community and its commerce. Case in point, Irving, was poised to become a major metropolitan area, if it were not hamstringed by lacking a connection to the Erie Railroad. Today we distinguish between standard medical practice and what we call “quackery.” Not so in years past, when respected doctors could develop patent medicines designed to cure a litany of conditions and diseases. For example, Dr. Fenner of Fredonia developed his “golden relief,” which was largely

an alcohol-based concoction. Water cure, or the belief that immersion into water with mineral properties could cure disease, was a popular trend in the mid 19th century. Forestville was a site for a Water Cure Treatment Center by Dr. Charles Parker. Chautauqua County’s Poor Farm in Dewittville was the forerunner to the current County Home in Dunkirk, with a changed mission. It is unknown how many souls were once buried in potter’s field now standing at the site. George Eastman bought

and moved Jamestown’s American Aristotype to the Rochester offices of Kodak, leaving many to pine about what “could have been,” had the reverse had occurred. Theories abound as to his motivation, but it appears no one knows for sure. Finally, hearsay is not history. The mystique of the Underground Railroad in Chautauqua County has led many to believe that any older home with a tunnel or hidden room was a safe house for slaves. In fact, most historians require two or even three

medical Students Gain Valuable insight into Physician and Hospital role Contributed Article WCA Hospital

Four medical students recently completed a six-week summer Medical Education Community Orientation Program (MECO), gaining valuable insight into the medical field. Based at WCA Hospital, Brooks Memorial Hospital, and Westfield Hospital, the medical students Laura Carlson, Chelsea Ryan, Jillian Smith, and Alex Walker, rotated through both clinical and non-clinical areas of the local hospitals and physician medical office practices. The program emphasized the study of patient-oriented healthcare delivery and the relationship of the patient to the total healthcare system. Coordinated through The Chautauqua County Health Network, MECO is a summer externship program that offers first and second year medical students who graduated from a Chautauqua County high school (and are in good academic standing) a unique educational experience not necessarily offered by a medical school curriculum. WCA Hospital and Brooks Memorial Hospital in Dunkirk, New York, are the coordinating sites of the program. Each coordinating hospital works with the medical student to develop

Education Program, says the intent of the program is to engage medical students in a variety of ways to increase their awareness of the medical field while inspiring them to explore career options, locally. “The orientation is a mutually beneficial program for the students and participating hospitals and physicians that gets students out of the books and into the hospital and physician offices where they can see patient care through the eyes of the provider. The students are able to discover career options, gain first-hand experience into the medical profession, and build professional ties to our community.” “I had one of the most positive experiences when I began my medical career at WCA and the rest is history – I’ve never looked back,” adds Dr. Wolf-DietCompleting a six-week Medical Education Community Orientation Program (MECO), medical students come together at WCA Hospital during a recent wrap-up luncheon held at the hospital. er Krahn, a board-certified family physician in Jamea curriculum for the sixan invaluable, interactive medical students observed Medicine.

WOMEN’S SECTION revive, Great rhythm Style

By Dodi Kingsﬁeld Star Contributing Writer

Deep in the rolling emerald hills of Chautauqua County, on the grounds of the Great Blue Heron Music Festival and Green Heron Growers in Sherman, the land vibrates this weekend with the energy and sounds of the Great Rhythm Revival. Directed and organized by musician and teacher Jim Donovan, this three-day event will be held August 9 through 12 and is open to anyone interested in celebrating and learning more about their connection to the Mother Earth and the delicate balance of the universe and the natural world around

us. The revival celebrates life through rhythm, the rhythms of the land, water and ourselves which are all connected by a common thread, energy. Energy travels through all mediums and energy can be trapped in many mediums. By learning to recognize and work with these universal energy channels, participants can incorporate earth medicine into their daily lives and become an active citizen of the word around them. Throughout the weekend, workshops are conducted by talented instructions such as Becky Bickford, Shianne Eagleheart and Dr. Harry Pepper in various locations throughout the festival grounds where revival goers can attend all or part of any session freely. Subjects taught include ecstatic dancing and drumming, chanting, energy medicine, yoga and fire circles. Every evening at the revival ends with live music and a dancing frenzy

that fi lls the hills with an electric vibe of earthly rhythms. The revival weekend culminates on Sunday with a fi nal inspiration by founder Jim Donovan and the Great Rhythm Revival experience with music, drumming, dancing and all things naturally ecstatic. Attendants of the Great Rhythm Revival include adult men and women from ages 21 to 71, primarily from the East Coast area.

Many hail from the local New York area; Pennsylvania, Ohio and quite a number were from Virginia. Some come to the revival alone as part of their personal journey, as a couple enhancing their spiritual relationship, or as a group of friends with a common interest in earth medicine and the feminine. Many attendees stay on the grounds of the revival in their own campers or tents and enjoy

the mindful cooking of the talented chef and volunteer kitchen staff that help to nourish the body while the mind and spirit are fed at the workshops. The goal of many revival participants is to heal their spirit, process life or a difficult decision, learn more about themselves or prepare themselves for something greater. Others may have no expectations at all, and are pleasantly

surprised. But overall, they want to feel like they are part of a like-minded community, where others care for the earth and her inhabitants and want to have a positive affect on the world around them. Warm hugs, intense conversations, free-flowing tears and incredible energy are all part of what draws these people together to celebrate being alive for these three days in the hills of Sherman. As one attendee commented, “I went to the revival last year with a heavy heart and came out on Sunday having forgave myself and ready for the world once again. I was revived.” Newcomers are welcome at the revival and once can attend for the entire weekend or a single day. For tickets and scheduling, more information can be found online at www. greatrhythmrevival.com or check out similar events at www.jimdonovanmusic. com. Consider attending the Great Rhythm Revival this weekend and get revived, great rhythm style.

Second Chances

Ready, Set, Work Program Provides Offenders Training and Job Placement, Reducing Recidivism By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor

It’s not a pretty image, but Patrick Johnson, retired warden of the Chautauqua Country Jail, sums up the Offender Workforce Development Program using a sewer plant analogy. Team members quote him as saying ‘it comes in raw, it’s treated and released into a clean lake.’ Johnson is describing efforts to provide jailed adults in Chautauqua County and around the state with the tools needed so they can find and retain a job once they are released. While the program may have detractors who object to spending tax dollars on criminals, experts agree that it has been shown to reduce recidivism rates, while helping offenders assimilate into their new lives. The program was established as part of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994. According to Judy Shaffer, Adult and Community Education Coordinator for Erie 2-Chautauqua-Cattaraugus BOCES, a transition program has been in place for the last 10 years in the county. It has only been within the last six years under the direction of former Warden Pat Johnson, that the program began to be

more proactive, connecting with community members, and offering training and education within the jail. “Transition actually starts the minute someone comes in the jail – that’s when we look at the possibility of how we are going to help them re-enter,” explains Shaffer. She says the effectiveness of the training program speaks for itself. “It’s an excellent model for anyone needing employability.” She adds that offenders have all the needs of the general population (including GED students, the unemployed, or welfare to work participants) plus they have a record. At the first level, program trainers look at providing the appropriate educational resources while discussing goals with the incarcerated person. Shaffer says there is an array of occupational possibilities including landscaping, culinary arts and OSHA training and certification. According to Joyce Golden, Erie 2 BOCES Learning Navigator, OWD training reaches out to a variety of professionals, who then teach skills in the jail. “We have a variety of professionals…in psychology, sociology, corrections and education.” In total, 34 have become OWDS certified trainers. Once a release date is

known, the transition team contacts Golden, who then sets up an appointment to provide a point of contact and follow-up “We also get down to small details,” says Golden, adding, “we may have identified that they need an email address… so they can apply for jobs.” Not everyone is ready for outside employment, however. Shaffer says she sees “those who have made a stupid mistake, but are going forward with their lives.” Others may have mental health or substance abuse issues. “For them it is going to be baby steps with lots of referrals and oversight. Some are with us for

a while and we transition them to another agency.” Dennis Wright, Family Learning Zone Coordinator says he also provides ex-offenders seeking employment other types of tools- such as participation in a mock interview where they may be asked about their criminal background. The advice is to simply be transparent. Golden adds, we tell them “never hide, and never embellish. The bottom line for employers is can this person work here with that violation.” Some intangible lessons also take place. Retired warden Johnson states,

“We help them to realize the mistakes they’ve made – it’s an introspection type of thing that might help them relate their criminal activity to something else in their life.” When all is said and done, it’s about job placement, retention and reducing recidivism. While statistics for Chautauqua County are currently being compiled, Johnson said that in 2010, 85% of the offenders engaged in the Ready, Set Work Program in Albany found and retained jobs. In Cattaraugus County, 77% found and retained jobs. Johnson says that there

have been increased requests for more OWDS training in Buffalo and WNY because “they are seeing what can happen when people work together to help offenders.” A local Ready, Set Work success story is the Blackstone Project. “The model is around a welding program,” says Shaffer. “We can’t teach welding handson in jail, but they are given the theory of welding while they are incarcerated. We have three that are allowed an early release, because they have a job when they get out and they are being monitored. Blackstone, she says provides hands-on training when they go to work. The release is conditional, since offenders who don’t show up for work, will be back in jail. Concerning the public reaction to prisoner work programs, Johnson says, “in surveys nation-wide, the public actually favors rehabilitation of offenders, the part that gets tricky is the money. People want to feel safer in their communities, he adds. They want to do it, but think the money should be spent elsewhere.” “When you reduce recidivism, you’re reducing the amount of money that is going to house offenders in jails and prisons.”

projection equipment was quickly becoming booked with installations for the remainder of the year. So, with Board of Directors approval, we opted to finance the balance of the funds needed in order to complete its installation.” The need for the system stems from the decision by film production companies to stop producing films in 35mm format by the end of 2013. “The result,” says Davis, “is that the all theatres that present films must either convert to a digital cinema projection system or stop presenting movies. For us, ceasing to present movies was simply not an option.” Another unique element of the new system is an individualized closed captioning system for the deaf and severely hearing-impaired. The system allows these individuals to read the movie’s subtitles, visible only to them through a special headset. “The individualized closed captioning is something that we have never been able to offer before,” says Davis. “There is a sizable hearingimpaired population in our community that will now have complete access to our movies.” In addition to installing the digital cinema projection equipment, the Maintain & Sustain campaign also seeks to raise money for other needs which include upgrades to and/or replacement of technology used in presenting live performances and repairs to the facility itself. Live performance events at the Opera House utilize its existing technology to the

utmost; but it has many limitations. The campaign will provide improvements to the existing equipment, which are basic needs essential to keeping a theatre running today. In addition, the Opera House has operated yearround since 1997. This constant use has caused wear and tear on the facility and its fixtures, including the air conditioning system, seats, the 120-year-old plaster walls and wooden windows, stage accoutrements and numerous other parts of the theatre. All of these needs will be addressed with a successful campaign. Those wishing to contribute to the Maintain & Sustain campaign can donate funds outright or pledge donations to be paid over a period of up to three years. Gifts of stock or investments also will be accepted. It’s important to note that the money raised from the Maintain & Sustain campaign will not be used for daily operations, but will be restricted to funding the needed capital improvements. Likewise, the Opera House’s annual membership campaign, conducted in the fall of each year, will be used to generate funds for general operating purposes. Chautauqua County’s only year-round performing arts center, the 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a membersupported not-for-profit organization located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia.

RELIGION SECTION the weekly word

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church Jamestown thenewfamilychurch.com

The Solution to Hard Times Part 1 The solution to hard times lies in what has been planned by our Heavenly Father before the creation of the Earth. God has already made provision for you in all arenas of life. He has already declared you successful, victorious, and provided for your peace of mind, fi nances, and health. Too many times Christians are focused on natural problems and not supernatural solutions. A man in the Bible named Abraham lived beyond natural problems and walked in the power of God. We are reminded of his story in Romans 4:17-18. It says, “God had written about Abraham, I have made you the father of many nations… (and Abraham) believed God in faith even when

there was no human reason to believe it would come to pass…” When God told Abraham that he would become the father of many nations Abraham was 75 years old and without a son. Abraham was obviously surprised to hear what God had spoken about him. Abraham had naturally given up on having children. Abraham was like most of us; just following the natural flow of our circumstances. But then something changed. Abraham became aware of what existed for him in the supernatural realm of God. In the supernatural plan of God, Abraham was to be a father. He was to bless all the earth with his descendants. The thoughts in the Mind of God were higher than the thoughts of man. Abraham could have reacted like

many Christians do today and said something like, “If it happens then God must have wanted it for me.” That is a troubling statement that should never come out of the mouth of a Christian. There are many things God wants for His people that they don’t have because they do not use their faith. What does the Bible say about Abraham? Romans 4:20 says, “Abraham staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief but was strong in faith giving glory to God.” Notice Abraham could have stumbled over the promise and forfeited what God had for him. Abraham could have lived and died without becoming the father of anything. Every Christian must realize that there are essentially two realities you can choose to live from.

The first reality is your natural circumstances. These are the things in life that will trouble you and will continue to trouble you if you allow them to. The second reality is the God reality. God has already spoken things about you that will make you victorious in life. Abraham decided to live out of the God reality. Abraham literally said, “Glory to God, I am a father” even though he had no child. Abraham went to the place where the “real Abraham” was; to the place of God’s promises. Our reality is not our circumstances in life. Our reality is what God had declared in His supernatural Word. We must train our mouths to speak in agreement with God if we want to live beyond this troubled natural world.

opera House cinema Series to Screen “unﬁnished Song” Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House

“Unfinished Song,” a moving story about age and how not to let it limit life, is the next featured fi lm in the Fredonia Opera House Cinema Series. It will be screened on Sat., Aug. 10, and Tues., Aug. 13, at 7:30 p.m. “Unfinished Song” is a funny and inspiring story about Arthur (Terence Stamp), a curmudgeonly old soul, who is perfectly content sticking with his dull, daily routine until his beloved – and terminally ill – wife (Vanessa Redgrave) introduces him to a local seniors singing group. The group is led by the youthful and charming Elizabeth (Gemma Arterton); and her unexpected friendship with Arthur reignites his passion for new adventures and shows us all that life should be celebrated at any age. It’s an extraordinary fi lm

about ordinary lives that transcend their humble circumstances. It’s about people making the best of what they have and just for an hour or so a week, in a rundown local authority hall, singing their hearts out and remembering what it was like to have lived a long, full life right up until the very last breath. Moira MacDonald, in the Seattle Times, calls the fi lm “the gentle story of a marriage, and of how music can help make a

broken heart whole again.” Walter Addiego, in the San Francisco Chronicle, says “get out your handkerchiefs for an unabashed tearjerker that has some surprisingly potent moments. Buried in all the shameless sentiment is a touching family story, and great performances from veterans Terence Stamp and Vanessa Redgrave.” Rated PG-13 for some sexual references and rude gestures, “Unfi nished Song” runs 93 minutes. The Opera House Cinema Series is sponsored by

Lake Shore Savings Bank. Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students) the night of each screening. A book of ten movie passes is available for $60 at the door or online at www.fredopera.org. For more information, call the Opera House Box Office at 716-679-1891. The Series continues with the Kevin James-Adam Sandler-Chris Rock comedy “Grownups 2” on Aug. 17 & 20; and the coming-of-age story, “The Way, Way Back” on

businesses from around the country and the world. Under Governor Cuomo’s leadership, we’re making great strides in the utilization of this power for bringing about jobs and capital investments in Western New York.” “Each job committed by these two companies represents much more than one job in the community,” said Congressman Brian Higgins. “The more than 100 new jobs will provide opportunities for Western New York workers, support construction jobs and generate the purchase of goods and services from local suppliers and businesses. Hydropower produced at the Power Authority’s Niagara plant is a local resource with local and global economic impacts.” “Companies that expand in Western New York help anchor New York State’s economy,” said Senator George D. Maziarz. “Companies that decide

to locate here, through allocations of low-cost power from the Power Authority, ensure that New York’s economy will remain robust and provide good paying jobs well into the future.” “I am elated that NYPA has awarded low-cost hydropower to two Western New York companies, facilitating the creation of new jobs and $26 million in capital investments,” said Assemblyman Robin Schimminger. “As the Assembly appointee on the Western New York Regional Economic Development Council, I am looking forward to seeing the economic growth that is sure to come from these investments.” Saturn Petcare, which will create 80 new jobs, received an allocation of 700 kW of hydropower. It plans to renovate a building once used by Fairbanks Farms. Its decision to locate in Chautauqua County will

help offset jobs lost when Fairbanks closed. Saturn, a subsidiary of the Germany-based Heristo Group, is a major producer of pet food in Europe and plans to manufacture wet and dry dog and cat food in Western New York. It will invest $20.9 million to renovate, purchase and install equipment. Other locations considered by Saturn included Michigan and Missouri. The availability of NYPA’s low-cost hydropower was cited by the company as a major factor in its location decision. Republic Steel, which currently has 283 employees, will add 26 new jobs and invest $5 million for equipment and renovation at its Lackawanna facility. It received an allocation of 600 kW of hydropower. Republic Steel manufactures Special Bar Quality (SBQ) steel, which possesses a set of physical, chemical and process

standards reflecting high performance and durability. Located in Lackawanna since 1906, Republic Steel has been a long-time NYPA customer. The hydropower allocations, approved on July 23, are from two state statutorily authorized low- cost power programs known as Expansion Power and Replacement Power. The power from these programs is designated for business expansion and attraction within a 30-mile radius of the Niagara plant. In addition, 25 MW is designated for economic development in Chautauqua County. “Last week’s allocations are evidence that Governor Cuomo’s innovative, and streamlined approach to economic development is working,” said Sam Hoyt, Regional President, Empire State Development Corporation. “When the public and private sector work together, everyone prospers.”

tech Living: Why iS my inteRnet SloW?

By Phil Bens Star Contributing Writer

This is another topic that remains a constant mystery. The reason for the mystery is that there are

several possible causes for the problem. As I have helped people at work and in their homes, I have found a couple of common problems. The most common troubles are that a computer has some malware or viruses running in the background and dragging down performance, or a wireless router is old and tired. I have seen other causes for a bad connection, like a badly crimped ethernet cable, or a bad internet modem, but these issues are few and far between. Fixing Internet problems relies on the use of the scientific method, changing one thing at a time or

isolating various parts of the Internet service to see which part is failing. Keep in mind that as a consumer, we are limited to what we can test. Internet Service Providers have the ability to monitor traffic coming to our houses, while we just have the ability to measure our own service to our home. If you suspect that your Internet connection is slow, the first thing you should do is call your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and ask them what kind of download/upload speed you are paying for. Sometimes you will get answers like “Standard” or “Turbo” speed, but what you need

to know is your actual speed in mbps or megabits per second. Once you know what your speed should be you can go to http://www. speedtest.net and run a test. If you like tracking your Internet speed, you can establish a free account with speedtest.net and save your results. Your speed may vary slightly depending on the time of the day and other external factors. Getting your actual Internet download speed is key to troubleshooting, because it is quite possible that your download speed is quite fast yet you can’t play a YouTube video or stream Internet radio. If your speed does not check out

ok, you need to call your ISP and tell them what you are seeing. Ask them to do a test to confirm what you found. If the ISP agrees that your speed is below average, you probably need a new modem. If the ISP believes that all is ok, then you might have a wireless router problem. To see if your wireless router is the problem, take the ethernet cable from your Internet modem and plug it directly into the back of your computer, bypassing the wireless router. Before you move cables around, you might want to draw a little sketch of how things are plugged in or maybe label the ports with tape.

Now check your download speed at speedtest.net. If the download speed is close to what it should be, you now know that the wireless router was the problem. Finally, unplug the power and plug in the power on the wireless router and plug everything back in the way that it originally was. Now run a speed test. It might be ok because rebooting the wireless router removed some confl ict. If the speed is poor than it looks like you need to go shopping! Next week I’ll discuss what you can do if the Internet modem and the wireless router are fine.

week Seven at chautauqua “diPlomacy” Contributed Article Chautauqua Insitution

Chautauqua focuses on international affairs this week with a series of lectures on the importance and practice of diplomacy. Frequent Chautauqua lecturer R. Nicholas Burns, formerly the third-ranking State Department official, opens the week with an introduction to and history of U.S. diplomatic efforts.

Woodbury Vineyards Fredonia Winery Offers Many Unique Surprises By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor

Maria Pizzino of Woodbury Vineyards recently planted a fence of grapevines outside the winery and within a few weeks, the vines of the Fredonia grapevines are growing and flourishing. The fence is a good metaphor for the business itself, which despite its small size, continues to surprise patrons with its unique specialties and offerings. Woodbury Vineyards may be a “diamond in the rough at the moment,” as Pizzino, its operations director describes it, but the business, which has recently seen a renaissance, excels with distinct features - including the offering of world-class Artisanal Premium Cheeses and an ever popular Happy Hour featuring a fresh tapas menu, GranitaVinoTM wine slushies, and wine flights. Of course, there are also its awardwinning wines. And then there’s the atmosphere. “When people come in, it’s a warm, welcoming environment,” says Pizzino. It’s surprising to people, because we are working on the outside.” In addition, she says there’s always an eclectic mix of music playing, “the music which makes people feel good.” Its location, just off the

Other recent tapas offerings include Mini CheraZzTM Cannoli, Shrimp Cocktail Shooters and Black Raspberry Pie, described as “a slice of heaven.” Also taking off: Wood-

bury’s lineup of imported and domestic Artisanal Premium Cheeses, offered for sampling with a wine tasting. “People are surprised that such a small winery has such a beautiful selection of cheeses,” explains Pizzino. But it is all by design, and another way the winery distinguishes itself. So unique are the class of cheeses, they are normally only available over 300 miles outside our area. Pizzino chose the Artisanal Cheese Company, because

she explains simply “they know cheese.” Patrons may also refer to the Artisanal CheeseClock™, which enables consumers to easily select cheeses based on their own taste preferences and suggests wines (and beers) with which to pair the cheese. The outstanding cheese selections are all available for purchase. Similar to the samples of beer offered at microbreweries, Woodbury also offers wine flights, which are a sampling of three different wines, served in separate

Woodbury has also recently redesigned its Adopt-ABarrel® Program, which for $595 dollars gives buyers two cases of wine- one when a purchaser adopts the barrel and one when resident winemaker Phil Hazlitt retires the barrel, which is usually within 12-28 months. Wine lovers will also enjoy the bragging rights of owning a barrel with their name engraved on a plaque gracing the barrel. When the barrel is retired, it is then time for the “barrel parent” to pick up their barrel and take it home. Recently, Woodbury was named the official winery of the Lawson Boating Center, and will be featuring its Seaport Wines at its gala on Thursday, August 8, 2013. Woodbury will also be pouring its Gold medal winning wines at the "Taste NY" Experience wine glasses, which are pre- at the 2013 PGA Championship, to be held at the sented resting side-by side historic Oak Hill Country to the taster in a special Club in Rochester on Auholder.

to enjoy rides and amusements with their families.” Celoron Park opened its gates in the early 1890s. Headed by the Broadheads, a wealthy businessfaring family from England, they poured their finances into it year after year to bring the increasingly popular Europoean ‘Amusement Park’ to the United States. “He spent the money and made it a nice park,” said Holmstrom. “Every year they’d add a couple new rides or buildings. There was eventually a meeting hall, theater, band shell and a baseball field where Babe Ruth hit his famous home run into Chautauqua Lake. They built some really nice, and huge, buildings.” The idea for the park came about with the trolley and streetcar boom of the late 19th century. People “needed somewhere to go,” Holmstrom said. So the Broadheads gave them that place. “They started the trolley company, and they started some of the first steam boats on the lake,” said Holmstrom. “They build a massive dock at Celoron where the trolleys actually went out onto and met the steamboats. People didn’t need their own vehicles, and never had to walk very far to see the area.” In the middle was Celoron Park, which naturally took off as a haven for fun and family amusement. One of the first rides to arrive was the Phoenix Wheel, a staple of Celoron for the first half of the 20th century. “It was something very different when it was built,” said Holmstrom. “Each car held ten people, and it was

“This is not a fundraiser,” says Blakely. “The fees are designed to offset the costs.

We love hearing from past participants how they made an entire day of it by going out for a bite to eat after the ride and doing some shopping. Some of them visit a business that may have opened since last year’s ride and others go somewhere that has been around for awhile but they may not have gone

Jammers Just Keep Winning By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

The Jamestown Jammers (27-14) have proven time and time again this season that no deficit is too large and no foe is too strong. Another incredible week of pitching, hitting and fielding has the Jammers on a 10-2 run and the team has opened up a fivegame lead over the State College Spikes in the New York-Penn League Pinckney Division. Williamsport is six games back and Batavia is 6.5 behind Jamestown. Most of the damage the Jammers did to division rivals this past week came on the road, but Jamestown successfully defended Diethrick Park from the Batavia Muckdogs on Thursday with a 6-3 victory. Though the Jammers pounded out 14 hits, only one — a double by third baseman Erich Weiss — was of the extra-base variety. For Weiss, the double was part of a three-hit, two-run performance that pushed his season batting average to a robust .349. Michael Fransoso, Harold Ramirez, Danny Collins, Jeff Roy and Edwin Espinal each recorded a pair of hits in the win. The win was earned by Axel Diaz (1-2, 3.79) in relief. Diaz

tossed two innings and allowed just one unearned run. Isaac Sanchez started the game on the hill and tossed four innings of two-run ball. Brett McKinney earned his third save of the season with a scoreless ninth. Jamestown then traveled to Williamsport on Friday and dispatched the Crosscutters, 4-3, in the opener of the two-game set. Ramirez collected three hits and scored a pair of runs to pace to offense. Justin Topa (3-1 1.33) was electric out of the bullpen for Jamestown. He tossed three scoreless innings and allowed just one walk while striking out three to earn the win. Roberto Espinosa picked up his fourth save of the season with a pair of shutout innings and lowered his season ERA to a mere 0.87. Saturday saw the Jammers cruise to a 3-0 victory in Game 2 of their series with Williamsport behind the pitching of Cody Dickson, who picked up his first professional win with five no-hit innings. He gave up one walk and struck out five. Henry Hirsch and McKinney fi nished up the shutout and allowed just three combined hits.

it’s Never too Early for fantasy football

By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

I had a whole intro here about the start of football season, but it was just fluff and I’d rather save room for the meat and potatoes of this column. This isn’t a mock draft, just a list of my top guys at each position. Some are going to be obvious. Others are picks that defi nitely stray from the national consensus. As always, feel free to disagree with me. NOTE: If you’re in my fantasy league, please stop reading here. Thank you. QUARTERBACK: The quarterback position is deep. Very deep. Unless you have an absolute man-crush on someone like Aaron Rodgers or Colin Kaepernick, don’t waste a high pick on one. In a 10-team, one-QB league, there’s just no point. That said, there’s a lot to consider here. Sure a guy like Kaepernick or Robert Griffi n III can amass staggering fantasy points because of their tendency to run the ball themselves and their passing proficiency. For me personally, I’m going to shy from those two guys for two reasons. One, they’re still very young. The league can very easily adjust to them and I don’t have confidence that they’ll be able to respond right away. Two (and you’ve heard it a million times), running quarterbacks take more hits. That’s just the way it is. If you take a runner, you better set yourself up with a darn fi ne backup to hold down the fort during an inevitable injury. MY TOP 5: Rodgers, Drew Brees, Cam Newton, Matt Ryan, Matthew Stafford. The reasoning behind Rodgers is obvious. Brees has head coach Sean Payton back and more weapons than he knows what to do with.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline olympians to perform at JSB arena in Jamestown Submitted Article Department of Environmental Conservation

Walleye anglers are reporting catches out of Buffalo and Barcelona, but not much in between. The incredible walleye action continues between Sturgeon Point and Buffalo, with limit catches the norm. Trollers are targeting large walleye schools at depths over 45 feet, from the Buffalo departure buoy (red) and southwest along the international border towards Sturgeon Point. Stickbaits or worm harnesses run near the bottom work well, with harnesses in purple and black getting most mention. Barcelona anglers are catcher fewer, but larger walleye. Targeting suspended walleye at depths over 70 feet is a good bet. The Dunkirk area has generally been slow, however the area off Van Buren reef is starting to show some promise in around 60 feet of water. Anglers should not overlook the shallower reef areas when searching for walleye. Some walleye anglers do quite well around reefs by casting and retrieving weight forward spinners tipped with nightcrawlers or by bottom bouncing with worm harnesses along the deeper edges. Most of the reef walleye caught are from the 2010 year class (16"-18"), with the occasional larger fish mixed in. Good reef spots include Seneca Shoal, Myers Reef and Evans Bar. White bass are plentiful and are caught regularly by walleye and perch anglers. For those who want to target white bass or to try something new, keep an eye out for flocks of gulls working the lake's surface for minnows. The gulls are keying on baitfish that have been pushed to the surface by schools of white bass. Cast your bait or lures into these bait clouds and you will catch white bass. Smallmouth bass catches have been steady out of Buffalo, but not many anglers have been targeting bass out of other harbors lately. With warm surface temperatures, targeting smallmouth bass in deeper water is a better bet. Key on structure areas around reefs, rock piles and drop-offs in 25-45 feet of water. Drop-shot rigs combined with crayfish, minnows, tube jigs or other plastic baits works well. For more information see the Smallmouth Bass Fishing on Lake Erie page. July and August are the best months to target lake trout in Lake Erie. Head for prime depths of over 90 feet deep, northwest of Dunkirk to the PA border. Downriggers with spoons run near the bottom is a very productive method, although lakers may also be suspended in the water column.

Island can be productive. Anglers catch a mix of black bass, perch, sunfish and sheephead from Buffalo area shore sites. Live bait (minnows, crayfish and worms) is best.

tonawanda Creek / Erie Barge Canal

Tonawanda Creek and the Erie Barge Canal are good places to catch a variety of warmwater species such as smallmouth bass, 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.

Chautauqua Lake

Anglers have been enjoying the best walleye fishing in recent years. Trolling outside weed edges in 15-18 feet of water is a good bet. Worm harnesses, stickbaits and jigs with a worm or leech, have all been productive. Recent walleye catch reports have come from Maple Springs, Prendergast Point and near the Bell Tower in the north basin and off Lakewood in the south basin. Largemouth bass catches are common around docks, weedlines and open pockets within 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 lures over submerged weeds. Live bait fished outside weed edges, near the bottom, also works well for smallmouth bass.

inland trout Streams

The area streams are in good shape and have moderate to slightly lower flows, depending on amount of rain received earlier in the week. On hot, sunny days It is advised that anglers not target trout in the afternoon, when stream temperatures are elevated. Tricos are hatching throughout the area at first light, and are the go to patterns at that time. Terrestrials are also on the menu, especially when there are no mayfly or caddisfly hatches happening. Ant dry fl ies, foam beetles, grasshopper and cricket patterns will take fish. Fish these patterns on a dead drift, giving it a slight twitch every now and again to imitate a struggling insect. Productive offerings for spinning anglers include worms, salted minnows and small inline spinners. If you are a catch-and-release angler and use spinners, it is good practice to outfit your spinners with a single hook rather than a treble hook.

But that’s what makes golf great: You don’t have to be a zero handicap to enjoy the game. What’s that common golf saying? “Even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes.” Well, that just happened to me at Sugar Hill Golf Course in Westfield. I don’t want this whole entry to be just me bragging, but trust me, that’s exactly what I feel like doing. I just started golfi ng last year so I remember very clearly the fi rst time I got a birdie, the fi rst time I got an eagle, the fi rst time I broke 50 on 9 holes and even the fi rst time I got a par. My newest accomplishment is breaking 40, and I did it by a wide margin. After recording two bogeys, six pars and a birdie on Tuesday, my score looked like this: 36. Yes, that’s a one-over 36. My previous best score had been 41 (accomplished twice). It was exhilarating. It was fantastic. It still feels a little surreal. My secret weapon that I credit for my newfound success? The newest addition to my golf bag: My 21˚ 3-hybrid Callaway Razr Tour. It’s hardly new as I bought it used on eBay. It’s not shiny or attractive anymore, but it might be my new best friend. I only hit it twice on Tuesday, but the results were incredible. I used it right off the bat on No. 1 for my second shot. The first hole is the only par 5 on the course and a very untraditional layout. A 4-iron off the tee set me up nicely at the dogleg for the remaining 250 yards or so into the green. Normally I’d hit my 4-iron again and just hope to get inside 75 yards or so. But alas, I didn’t buy this 3-hybrid for

nothing. So I let it rip, connecting just perfectly with the ball and sending it right down the middle of the fairway and probably 15-20 yards short of the green. From there it was an easy chip on and a two-putt for par. Not a bad start. The second hole was a revelation, too. I crushed my driver over the pond. I used to have to hit it and just pray that it found some grass on the other side of the pond. Now I hit the ball and hope that it rolls down the back of the ridge about 15 yards past the pond. A little 8-iron put me on the green in two, albeit very far from the pin. My putting failed me as I three-putted my way to bogey. I wasn’t happy about the end result, but being on the green in two is always encouraging. No. 3 is not an easy par 3, but it’s certainly doable. It’s a very long but narrow green with a sand trap on the left side of the green and trees to the right. Actually, if you hit it too far right you’ll end up in Lake Erie. My tee shot was actually my worst shot of the day. I pushed it right and it was probably headed for the lake except that it hit the base of a tree and stopped right there. I ended with a bogey and was already two-over after three holes, so the odds of being one-over for the entire round were pretty slim. The odds got even slimmer when I pulled my tee shot

on No. 4 into the fairway of No. 5. That stinker of a shot left me behind a tree and 150 yards out — not exactly a position you strive for. But alas, my old friend the 7-iron came to the rescue and I cleared the tree and landed 15 feet from the pin. The ball rolled back downhill a little bit, so I was happy to get a two-putt and a par. No. 5 is the most birdieable hole on the course. It’s a short par 4 but there’s a sand trap just short of the green that makes it very hard to try to drive the green. I layed up just short of the sand, chipped it over and putted it in. Just like that I was down to 1-over par for the round. If No. 5 is the most birdieable, No. 6 is the most bogey-able. Yes, I realize I’m totally making up words, but it fits. I’ve only driven over the pond twice, so I didn’t even try this time. I simply used the trusty 4-iron to lay up short. I actually went a little more left that I would have liked, but it worked out just fine. Enter the new weapon: 3-hybrid. I had a bit of a downhill lie, but still got a lot of club on the ball and my distance was just perfect. I landed in the rough just to the right of the green. That’s easily the closest I’ve ever come to the green after two shots. Thank you 3-hybrid. A chip and a putt gave me a par on No. 6 for only the second time ever. No. 7 is another hole that

gives me fits. It seems so easy on paper, but I just always get myself into trouble. Well, I got myself into trouble off the tee again as I hit my shot into the trees on the left. A poor punch attempt left me still short of the green and a little bit behind a tree. My third shot has to be good and it turned out to be my shot of the day. Not only did I keep it high enough to get over the rough and low enough to not hit the branches, but the distance was just perfect. I started my fist pump a little early when I thought I had made birdie, but the ball lipped out and stayed about three inches from the hole. Add another par to the scorecard. No. 8 played like it usually does for me. It’s a par 3 that’s fairly short and with a relatively large green. My 8-iron tee shot landed on the right edge of the green and I two-putted for par. Nothing to see here. I would have been disappointed with anything less. No. 9 is a bit of a wild card. I know that I could definitely birdie it, but I also know I could easily double-bogey it. That said, I knew that anything less than 8 would get me my sub-40 score. An average tee shot allowed me to put a 9-iron onto the back of the green. From there I knew even if I three-putted I couldn’t do worse than 47. Two putts later I had a 36. My birdie putt was about 40 feet and I left it two feet short on a perfect line. I’m absolutely floating still. Usually I look back at my round and say “If only I could have gotten rid of those two awful holes.” Well I didn’t have any awful holes. I played great. I feel like I should play in more tournaments now. I wouldn’t be a total detriment to my team. NOTE: If anyone has extra clubs for sale please let me know. My buddy is about 6-foot-3, so he might need extra long clubs, but his are borderline unusable. Thanks. Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

Simas Tabbed As Gerry Rodeo Announcer

Submitted Article Paul Cooley

One of the rising stars in the field of rodeo announcing is making his second appearance as the master of ceremonies for the Gerry Fire Department’s 69th annual PRCA rodeo, which opened on Wednesday and continues nightly at 8:00 a.m. through Saturday, August 3, with a Saturday matinee at 2:00 p.m. 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 five consecutive years to the Dodge Ram First Frontier Finals as well as a three-time performer at the National

When he is not on the road, Simas loves to fish, hunt, golf, and work on his Pennsylvania farm where he lives with his wife Jen, a barrel racer and a trainer of barrel racing horses, and their two young sons. Additional information about him may be found on line at www.gregsimas.com. Painted Pony Pro Rodeo of Lake Luzerne is returning as the stock contractor and will be bringing more than 125 head of stock to Gerry where approximately 125 pro cowboys and Greg Simas is the announcer at this cowgirls will compete for $40,000 in year’s Gerry Rodeo.

Other top names among the contestants are a 24 year-old industrial engineer, Jacob Crawley from Stephenville, Texas, who won the collegiate saddle bronc championship in 2011 and has already qualified twice for the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, and Tom Farrelly, Cayuga, New York, a six time saddle bronc champ at the First Frontier Finals. All contestants must be PRCA members and pay dues of $500 per year as well as posting an entry fee for each event. Those fees vary depending on the event and range $50 for the

bareback riding to $150 for steer wrestling. Entry fees are added to money from the fire department and other sponsors to make up the prize totals. Any contestant who does not place in his or her event will go home empty handed after paying entry fees, travel, and other expenses. The rodeo will also feature the antics of clown and barrel man Dusty Barrett and his specialty act of Roman Riding ponies where he is assisted by Dusti Stockton, the youngest trick rider in pro rodeo today. The famous beef barbeque dinners are served each evening from 5:00 to 8:00 in the air conditioned dining room. This is now the longest consecutively running rodeo east of the Mississippi and all proceeds go to benefit the Gerry Volunteer Fire Department.

missed the cut: C.J. Spiller and Jamaal Charles. I really like both of these guys. Sheer explosion. WIDE RECEIVER: I have a special place in my heart for WR because I’ve basically rode the position to titles the last two years. Heck, I won two years ago with Joe Flacco and Phillip Rivers as my QB. But I had Larry Fitzgerald, Mike Wallace, Marques Colston and A.J. Green at WR. As the league becomes more and more of a passing league, WR becomes a very lucrative position in fantasy. It’s probably the position you’re most likely to turn a 14th round pick into a seasonlong stud. It’s just hard to tell who is going to break out. MY TOP 5: Calvin Johnson, A.J. Green, Julio Jones, Dez Bryant, Larry Fitzgerald. Okay, if you argue with Johnson as No. 1 you haven’t watched football the last two years. Green and Jones were drafted the same year and have been battling it out since Day 1 for title of second-best receiver in the league. Drafted one year before those two guys was Bryant, who has all the

physical tools in the world and finally showed signs of putting it all together this year. I could definitely see him dominate Tony Romo’s targets the way Megatron and Brandon Marshall do. Fitz kind of fell off the map last year because of the hilariously terrible quarterback play in Arizona. The team brought in Carson Palmer, who may not be the Palmer of five years ago, but is clearly an upgrade. He’s also the king of garbage-time fantasy points and I expect that to continue. The Cards will be down three or four scores late and Palmer will hit Fitz for a couple of deep passes that take him over 100 yard receiving and a score. Yes, please. TIGHT END: Remember when this position had more than one guy you would have been excited to draft? Now, thanks to injuries and **cough** off-the-field activities, the TE position is down to Jimmy Graham and everyone else. His stock has soared only because he’s the only sure thing left here. MY TOP 5: Jimmy Graham, Rob Gronkowski, Vern Davis, Tony Gonza-

RODEO CHANGES continued from pg 1 Kids are receiving special attention through the free kids rodeo at 11:00 a.m. Saturday morning and each performance will also allow kids to enter the arena to participate in the “calf scramble”. Wednesday has reduced prices for kids, plus a free kids ticket is available on-line at the rodeo website. In addition the midway will feature sand art, face painting, and pony rides for the kids, and cowboys and cowgirls, as well as the clowns and bull fighters will sign autographs following each performance. A special treat for both kids and adults will be the singing of the National Anthem by sixyear-old Gabriel Graham. To keep up with today’s technology and to keep fans from standing in line, the rodeo committee has made arrangements for

tickets for both the rodeo and the beef barbeque dinners to be purchased on-line at ticketfly.com. Tickets will also be available at the rodeo office during the day or prior to each performance. With a record number of contestants and prize money, Atwell says he hopes these changes will help make this “the best rodeo in our 69 years”. This is now the longest consecutively running rodeo east of the Mississippi and all proceeds go the Gerry Volunteer Fire Department. The “world famous” barbeque dinners” are served nightly at 5:00 p.m. with the midway opening at the same time.

Kids Rodeo Will Help Conclude Gerry Rodeo Submitted Article Paul Cooley

A free kids rodeo at 11:00 a.m. will kick off a full final day of action Saturday, August 3, at the Gerry Fire Department’s 69th annual PRCA rodeo as kids eight and under will participate in rodeo related games in the arena. Registration for the event begins at 10:30 a.m. in the rodeo office where parents will sign a release and each entrant will receive a numbered contestant back tag. The kids will be divided into two age groups - six to eight and five and under. Following the National Anthem and a Grand Entry Parade of the kids, Shana Graham, Sales and Marketing Manager for Painted Pony Pro Rodeo, will direct the activities assisted by pro cowboys and cowgirls. Among the games will be hula hoop roping, stick horse riding, and a boot and shoe race, with each kid receiving a certificate and a bandana following the event.

The concession stands and the midway activities will be open following the kids event with a Saturday afternoon matinee set for 2:00 a.m. The day’s activities will conclude with the barbecue beef dinners at 5:00 p.m. and the final rodeo performance with 170 pro cowboys and cowgirls competing for $45,000 in prize money at 8:00 p.m.

Commentary continued from pg 1 tank. He’s the only runningtype quarterback I’d feel comfortable with and he’s done it for two years now. Matt Ryan is a horribly underrated fantasy QB. He has the best WR tandem in the league with Roddy White and Julio Jones. He has Tony Gonzalez at TE. He now has Steven Jackson behind him to take some pressure off and open up throwing lanes. He plays in a dome. And maybe most of all, he plays in a division with some embarrassingly bad defenses (see: New Orleans and Carolina). He’s going to put up video game numbers. Stafford is ranked so high because he throws the ball…A LOT. Oh, and he has this wide receiver named Megatron. Not sure if you’ve heard of him. RUNNING BACK: This position is not so deep. In the past decade teams have shied away from workhorse running backs and moved to two, and even threeback rotations. So if you can get a clear-cut No. 1, do it. Later in the draft try to get touchdown vultures and injury handcuffs. Or take a chance on a rookie like Eddie Lacy from the Packers. He probably won’t

get a ton of carries, but he might do something special when he gets the ball. MY TOP 5: Adrian Peterson, Arian Foster, LeSean McCoy, Trent Richardson, Marshawn Lynch. It’s not an easy task choosing between AP and Foster. They’ve both proven to be fantasy stalwarts and lynchpins in their team’s offense. I went AP first because of what he did last year. That was simply insane. If his knee is somehow stronger this year, look out. McCoy is someone I would love to have on my team. With new head coach Chip Kelly running the show, McCoy could be in for a huge year. Or not. It’s hard to tell with new coaches. Richardson is a little bit of a darkhorse. Cleveland has a sneaky-good group of wide receivers so Richardson might see even more running room this year. He’s proven he can make a big play or push the pile at the goal line. Lynch has a lot of miles on the treads, but Beast Mode is playing on one of the better teams in the league and has been too good for too long to leave out of my top 5. Just

lez, Owen Daniels. Yuck. Really? That’s what we have to work with? Yes, I’d still put Gronk second even with the back surgeries, broken arms and whatever else he’s dealing with. The Patriots have almost no one left to catch the ball so you can bet Tom Brady will look Gronkowski’s way if and when he’s healthy. Davis might be lining up at WR, which could help or hurt his stock. Gonzalez is as old as Father Time but put up nice numbers last year and is motivated by winning and nothing else. Daniels is on the list by default because he was pretty good last year. Just missed the cut: No one. This position stinks. DEFENSE: Please don’t be that guy that takes a defense in the fifth round and causes everyone else to panic and take their defense too. It just doesn’t matter that much. Sure, some defenses are clearly better than others, but it’s nearly impossible to tell which defense will randomly have a bunch of pick-6’s in the season. MY TOP 5: Seattle, Denver, Houston, Cincinnati, San Francisco. The Seahawks’ defense is just scary.

They won’t give up many points, but like I mentioned before — a defense has to SCORE points to earn substantial fantasy points and that’s just hard to predict. When in doubt go with a team that is going to get a lot of sacks and has an easy schedule (ie Denver). KICKER: If you take a kicker before the very last round, kindly stop playing fantasy football. MY TOP 5: Matt Bryant, Blair Walsh, Greg Zuerlein, Sebastian Janikowski, Matt Prater. Three of these guys play in domes, one plays in the high altitude in Denver and the other is a drunken Polish freak. But again, who cares? The way to win fantasy is to take risks in those middle rounds. I used my 14th round pick on Randall Cobb last year and started him every week because he turned out to be a stud. Good luck with your draft everyone. I’m sure to discuss more fantasy football as the season goes on. Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

Orioles Get Norris In Quiet Trade-Deadline Day MLB Power Rankings By Howie Rumberg AP Sports Writer

In the playoff mix for a second straight year, the Baltimore Orioles made the biggest move on a quiet trade-deadline day, acquiring Bud Norris to keep pace with the Boston Red Sox. Hoping to catch the NL West-leading Dodgers, the Arizona Diamondbacks filled a hole in their bullpen Wednesday by sending struggling 20-game winner Ian Kennedy to San Diego for lefty reliever Joe Thatcher. Boston put the pressure on Baltimore by picking up 2007 NL Cy Young Award winner Jake Peavy from the Chicago White Sox less than 24 hours earlier in a three-team trade. The deal was finalized quickly in part because the Detroit Tigers were eager to protect themselves in case shortstop Jhonny Peralta is suspended for his involvement in the Biogenesis performance-enhancing drugs scandal. ''The frank reality is that I do not know what is going to happen with Jhonny, but with this move, we now feel well protected if there is a long suspension,'' Tigers general manager David Dombrowski said. With all eyes on the Yankees because of Alex Rodriguez's likely suspension by Major League Baseball for his role in the wideranging drug case, New York never could work out a deal with the Phillies for corner infielder Michael Young, who is staying - for now - with Philadelphia. San Francisco also held onto left-hander Javier Lopez and the Los Angeles Angels kept second baseman Howie Kendrick after sending Alberto Callaspo to Oakland late Monday. Other than a few other

These weekly power rankings are based on more than just standings. They are the opinion of just one person and meant to facilitate discussion. Feel free to disagree with the rankings and send your thoughts to stefan.gestwicki@star-mediagroup.com. 1) Pittsburgh Pirates 64-42 The Bucs only need to go 18-38 to finally break infamous 20-year losing streak. 2) Tampa Bay Rays 64-43 Winning 3 of 4 from Boston in the last week has rocketed Rays to the top of the East. 3) Boston Red Sox 64-44 The Jake Peavy deal could have enormous implications. Sold high on Jose Iglesias. 4) Oakland Athletics 63-44 Winning two of three at home as the A’s have (34-17) is a sure-fire recipe for success. 5) St. Louis Cardinals 62-43 The offense has been non-existent during current six-game skid. Holliday looks lost. 6) Atlanta Braves 62-45 A fivegame winning streak has them with a seasonbest 10-game lead in the N.L. East. 7) Los Angeles Dodgers 57-48 Their hotness factor is off the charts. No one can beat these guys right now. Scorching. 8) Detroit Tigers 60-45 It’s weird to even consider, but Verlander might be Detroits’s worst starter right now. 9) Baltimore Orioles 59-48 Chris Davis has struck out at least once in 23 consecutive games. He’s been ice cold. 10) Texas Rangers 58-49 Losing Nelson Cruz to a suspension could knock Texas completely out of the hunt. 11) Cincinnati Reds 59-49 Preseason darlings are riding a five-game skid, though all have been close games. 12) Cleveland Indians 58-48 The Tribe has to learn how to win on the road. A 23-29 record away from home is just ugly. 13) Kansas City Royals 52-51 A sevengame win streak and Mike Moustakas hit two homers. Good times in KC. 14) New York Yankees 55-51 Series’ against White Sox and Padres could help Yankees get back in the playoff picture. 15) Arizona Diamondbacks 54-52 Trading Ian Kennedy was a bold move. The guy was a 20-game winner not long ago. 16) Washington Nationals 52-55 I can’t imagine this is how Davey Johnson imagined his final season going in DC. 17) Philadelphia Phillies 50-56 Well at least that horrible losing streak finally ended.
