summer, we had an individual come in, hot off the thruway on his way to some world-changing appointment, or so he though. He said to us, “I’m shocked there’s a Starbucks in this town. Looks like it’s just an old place full of dumb farmers.” I stood there, dumbfounded. My wife is the fi rst one to tell me that I often do a bad job at hiding what I’m thinking, but in this instance I wasn’t even trying. Without missing a beat, my coworker said, “my grandfather was one of those farmers, you know.” I made his drink, thanked him for stopping by and encouraged him to have a conversation with one of these ‘dumb farmers,’ because he might be surprised by what he learned. He didn’t seem too happy, and walked away muttering something about hillbillies. At any rate, I want to do what little I can to dispel any myth that farmers are ignorant. I’d pray for the whitecollar individual who thinks the world begins and ends with them. To this day, I’ve not met a farmer who would throw a friend
or stranger under the bus, and the majority I’ve interacted with would never dream of stabbing anyone in the back. I wish I could say the same about the ‘high class’ world I’ve encountered, but there seems to be a degree of self-promotion-atany-cost. Maybe not across the board, and certainly not in every instance, but it’s still prevalent. So to the farming community, thank you. To the families that are holding on, generation after generation, to create a world with fresh and healthy produce, dairy and meat, thank you. To the men and women who wake up at 4 a.m. and work until 8 p.m. to make it all happen again, thank you. Your dedication, perseverance, innovation and example are not forgotten. Not just by me, but by the community at large that truly appreciates the economical and personal impact you have on this great county. Scott Wise is the editor of the Chautauqua Star.

To the busy parent By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
In all honesty, this particular article might be to myself more than anyone else who reads it. We can call this writing therapy, if you will. During the summer months, there is something that I have found to be a potential struggle for our family. That struggle is busyness. There are so many events scheduled for summer, and so much more to do simply because that long awaited sunshine has finally arrived in Western New York. Along with the already fuller-than-usual itinerary come the mass piles of laundry, which somehow go hand-inhand with the warm weather. Has anyone else noticed that playgrounds and outdoor play are just a fancy way to say 'dirt time' or 'grassstain fun'? Not to mention days at the pool with towels and swim
diapers and little baby sized trunks. At least that's the way it seems to be with two toddlers. When I tell them that we can go to the 'big playground' that morning or go outside and play in our sandbox, I am really just telling them, 'mommy is going to give you two baths today, sweep the kitchen and do an extra load of laundry just so that you can be the little boys that you are and have fun.' Is it worth the extra work? Absolutely, not to mention the fact that when we do have a playground kind of morning, they take much better afternoon naps. And every caretaker knows, more naps = more laundry time. Sometimes it all evens out, and sometimes it doesn't. But back to the dilemma of busyness. During the summer, it can take up to a full week before we get back into the swing of things around here, and by that time it's the week-
end again and the cycle starts right back up. The real dilemma isn't our jam-packed schedule. The dilemma is that we have forgotten our priorities. When you're running all over the place and trying to keep a clean house while still trying to squeeze in some quality time with your kids, it can be hard to remember which should really be coming first. It's difficult to keep in mind that children are a joy and not just another responsibility. It's easy to just check their needs off of a to-do list and not enjoy any of it. So here is my personal endeavor, both for the remainder of these warm weather days and for the rest of their lives. I am going to enjoy my kids, through every stage we go through. Even the days where I am covered in the bodily fluids of a small child. Sorry, just being
honest. I will enjoy teaching them right from wrong, even though sticking to your guns in the middle of a screaming fit might not be fun at the time. I'm going to fi nd joy in teaching our boys to share with each other, and teaching them to prefer their friends before themselves. Being a parent is one of the very best and most rewarding jobs out there, and I want to look back on these days without regret. This is an open invitation to all the busy parents out there. Try to find the fun in your kids as much as you can. Enjoy these bonuslaundry months with sand-fi lled cars and dirty kitchen floors. These are all signs that you have been enjoying your life, and that you are teaching your kids to enjoy theirs. As always, thank you for reading, and here's to some happy kids and happy parents!

Grasses, sedges and rushes each grow in specific conditions and make up important habitats for a number of grassland and wetland species. From Henslow’s Sparrows to muskrats, a number of species rely on grasses, sedges and rushes for foraging, nesting and protection from predators. Henshaw is conservation technician at the Roger Tory Peterson Institute (RTPI).

She will weave the dance tunes and parlour songs that were popular in Chautauqua County in the 19th century into her talk and PowerPoint presentation. She also hopes that anyone who happens to own a 19th century dulcimer will come to the talk and bring their instrument with them, if possible. “One of the reasons I enjoy giving a talk about historical instruments is that I often
learn even more about their history from my audience members,” remarks Collins. Sherman was selected as the location for the presentation because of its own history with the hammered dulcimer. A dulcimer factory was opened on East Main St. in Sherman in 1856 by Henry Ransom, with two of his sons helping to demonstrate and sell the instruments throughout the country. Another local dulcimer factory was also located in the area of Stedman Corners in the town of Chautauqua. Collins and her husband, Tom Bohrer,
founded Sampler Records Ltd. in 1977. The company produced more than 30 recordings, which were sold nationally and were enthusiastically reviewed in publications across the country. In 1988, Sampler Records Ltd. produced a recording and book of New York tunes played on historical New York State hammered dulcimers – the only such recording ever made. Entitled “Sackett’s Harbor: Dance Tunes of Western New York State” - the music has been hailed by historians and used as background music on numerous historical vid-
eos and documentaries. Collins is also interested in the worldwide hammered dulcimer family and is on the board of the Hungarian based organization, Cimbalom World Association. She has performed or presented a paper at five congresses of the CWA, and has just returned from England where she was helping to arrange for the next CWA Congress which will be held in 2015 in Malvern, Worcestershire County, England. In addition to performing, Collins teaches classes in Western Music History and Hammered
Dulcimer and directs the Striking Strings Hammered Dulcimer Ensemble as part of the Eastman Community Music School. Her schedule of performances and classes can be found at www.samplerfolkmusic.com. She can be contacted at Samplerrec@aol.com. Again, Collins presentation on hammered dulcimers of Western New York is sponsored by the Chautauqua County Historical Society. It will take place at the Stanley Hose Co. fire hall in Sherman NY on Tuesday, Aug. 19, beginning at 6 p.m. It is free and open to the public. Refresh-
ments (water and coffee) will be available.

Garifi Named JCC's Executive Director Of Academic Innovation Contributed Article on emerging opportuJCC
Nelson J. Garifi Jr., a long-time member of Jamestown Community College’s administrative staff, will begin the academic year as JCC’s executive director of academic innovation. According to Marilyn A. Zagora, vice president of academic affairs, Garifi’s new position will allow JCC to expand on its tradition of innovation, building
nities for new programs and services while preserving its commitment to academic excellence. “Innovation is reflected in JCC’s academic programs and services which have been developed over the past decades,” Dr. Zagora said. “The landscape of higher education is increasingly complex and involves more partners, enhanced technology, a broader array of target audiences, and an expanded range of
learner needs.” Garifi will continue to oversee the college’s honors program, international outreach efforts, and experiential learning offerings. In addition, he will take on administrative leadership of the College Connections program, JCC’s concurrent enrollment program offering college-level courses in regional high schools, as well as technology-enhanced instruction for the college’s online offer-
ings, courses delivered among multiple locations using interactive television, and innovative instruction within the classroom using diverse technologies. Garifi will collaborate with faculty to develop directions for academic programs that respond to emerging community and national needs. “A focus on systems design and development will characterize his work,” Dr. Zagora said. “I look forward to
capitalizing on innovative opportunities by working closely with faculty and others in academic leadership roles as well as other leaders throughout the college and within the communities we serve,” Garifi said. Garifi has held a number of college-wide roles at JCC since 1981, providing leadership for community relations, alumni affairs, recruitment, marketing, and academic initiatives. A graduate
of JCC and St. Bonaventure University, Garifi was previously a high school and middle school English teacher, freelance writer, and technical writer. He is a recipient of the State University of New York Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Professional Service and JCC’s Distinguished Alumnus Award and has been recognized by the League for Innovation in the Community College.
JPS Superintendent Presents 2014-2019 Strategic Plan To Board of Education Contributed Article colleges) served on eight JPS
Superintendent Tim O. Mains presented a draft of the Jamestown Public Schools’ 201419 Strategic Plan to the Board of Education at its August 5th meeting. The Board of Education will have the opportunity to provide input on the plan prior to adopting it at a future meeting. The 2014-19 JPS Strategic Plan was developed as part of Superintendent Mains’ Entry Plan. In the entry plan, he initiated a process with the local community to lay the framework for a comprehensive strategic plan to improve student achievement and ensure district sustainability. Over 140 local community members (parents/ students, JPS staff, nonprofits and foundations, local businesses and
committees focusing on: rigorous academics, closing gaps in student achievement, social/ emotional development, accountability/metrics, parent/community engagement, technology, extracurricular activities, and communications/public relations. “We are so thankful to both the community members and staff who volunteered their time and talents to help build the strategic plan,” said Superintendent Mains. “I am overwhelmed by the commitment and dedication of every committee and its members. By donating their time and talents, these volunteers transformed the strategic plan from a concept to reality. The efforts of our eight committees have provided a path for our district over the next five years.”
The JPS Strategic Plan embodies the district’s vision of “every child learning every day” – ensuring that JPS delivers on its promise of equitable access and opportunity. As the priorities in the plan are implemented over the next five years, JPS will maintain its promise to provide a high-quality education for every child – no matter their ability, where they live, or their background. The plan lays out the key goals, strategies and action plans that will mobilize the district to achieve its mission - that students are provided a highquality, 21st century learning experiences within and beyond the classroom, to prepare JPS graduates to excel in college, career and life. The four goal areas included in the 201419 Strategic Plan are:
Ensuring academic excellence and equity for every student, Creating a safe, engaging and nurturing school environment, in and outside the classroom, rich with opportunities that develop the whole child, Improving communications and deepen engagement for both families and the broader community and; Implementing operational standards and practices that improve and support student success. “The strategic plan does not address everything that we need to do as a district but focuses on the areas that I have heard from the community that we need to improve,” said Superintendent Mains. “I am confident that the plan represents a community consensus on the direction for the district through 2019.” A special thanks to

a Cappella performance taking place in mayville
Contributed Article Mayville/Chautauqua Chamber of Commerce
The featured performers for the August 14 performance of the Entertainment in the Park Summer Concert Series will be ‘the lake effect’, an all-male a cappella group hailing from the Buffalo, NY area. The concert will take place from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. at Lakeside Park, Mayville, NY (located along the shores of Chautauqua Lake). Members of the group are Jamie Holden, Tenor; Matthew Sciara, Bass; Lou Shafer, Tenor/Vocal Percussion; Jeff Trenchard, Tenor; and Ron Veiders, Baritone. This 5-member all-male a cappella group performs covers as well as original songs. The band was formed some years ago so that new and intricate a cappella music of both original and popular tunes can be appreciated by audiences of all ages. The group doesn’t use any musical instruments in their performances. They are a
very talented group of performers who give another defi nition to the term ‘the lake effect’. To them it’s “a group of 5 men unified in one common goal; the promotion and performance of all-male a cappella music”. They graced our concert stage a few years ago and we are pleased to welcome them back this year for another great performance. Rainbow the Clown ( Jerry Stimson)

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church Jamestown fcjamestown.org
As a pastor, I often meet with Christians who are in the midst of troubling circumstances. Often they are confused by the presence of trouble. They say, "But I've been faithful, and I do everything I know to do and yet I still get tested." Our redemption was not a cheap thing. Faith is not the absence of troubles; it's how we handle them. 2 Timothy 2:3-6 says, "Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs-he wants to please his commanding officer." (NIV) The Bible is comparing our Christian lives to that of a soldier. Verse 7 goes on to say, "Reflect on what I am saying..." So the Bible instructs us
to consider the mentality of a soldier in handling circumstances. A soldier is not a civilian. The first thing that happens to a new soldier is that he is stripped of all signs of civilian life. His hair gets shaved, he is given several inoculations, and he is given a new uniform. Upon receiving Christ, our sins are removed and we are given a measure of the Holy Spirit. The old life dies and we enter into service for God. A soldier will look at his new uniform and realize it wasn't made for comfort. He will realize that the uniform he now wears will make him a target. His life will be consumed by what he has pledged to defend. Loyalty is now a matter of survival. If he deserts his company and tries to rejoin his former life, he will get hurt. It is the same thing for believers: The trials you are facing are trying to get you to sever your loyalty to Christ and to return to your former life. Loyalty is now a requirement if you are going to stay under the protection of His army. A soldier doesn't enter the battlefield and get

surprised by bullets being fired at him. He understands the battlefield dynamic. A soldier doesn't feel like a victim. He doesn't get his feelings hurt because people are out to hurt him. A soldier doesn't take a time out from battle because somebody insulted them. He doesn't stand up and say, "Time out! Stop the shooting, somebody has hurt my feelings and I need some time to recover." The enemy doesn't stop firing their guns because you have hurt feelings. Strap on your boots, pull them on tight, and let's go! Soldiers don't always get an apology before they move on. And neither will we. I can't remember the last time I asked for an apology. I simply forgave the person before they had the chance. That's what God did: He forgave us before we asked His forgiveness. A soldier doesn't expect ground to be given to him; He takes ground. In the same way, don't expect the blessings of God to fall on you like ripe fruit off a tree. You have to take it, believe it, and say it. A soldier is somebody who survives on his training. Proper Bible training is life or death for Christians. Soldiers are formed by their habits. And so are Christians. People struggle because of their lack of good spiritual habits. So don't be surprised when you face trials. Soldiers didn't join the military thinking they were going to Club Med.

House. According to Maureen Rovegno, Associate Director of Religion at Chautauqua, “We need a critical mass to populate the Muslim denominational house. Chautauqua wants it to be representative of Islam in the same way the Jewish Life Center is pan-Jewish, recognizing the various forms of Judaism. We would want the Muslim house to be pan-Islamic, representing Sunni and Shia perspectives.” “It is an honor to be part of this prestigious institution and we look forward to building one of our first Cordoba Houses on their property in the next
few years,” says Imam Feisal. “Our Cordoba House would reflect a pan-Islamic view of our religion and offer a broad range of religious and cultural activities.” The Cordoba Initiative is a multi-national, multi-faith organization dedicated to improving Muslim-West relations. Imam Feisal has engaged in outreach to moderates of all faith traditions, engaging in interfaith dialogue and forging connections of trust and mutual support. He is the author of two books: Moving the Mountain: A New Vision of Islam in America and What’s Right with Islam is What’s Right with
America - that explore the similarities between Islam and other religions. As Imam of Masjid al-Farrah, a mosque located in Lower Manhattan, he preached a message of understanding between people of all faith traditions. He is the recipient of several awards including: TIME magazine included him among the 100 most influential people of the world in 2011, the Search for Common Ground for Interfaith Diplomacy (2012); and most recently the Faithin-Action Award by the International Center for Religion and Diplomacy (ICRD) (2014). Imam Feisal is one
of the most eminent Muslim leaders and scholars in America today. He is available for media interviews by contacting susan@ assadi.com or jake@ assadi.com. Chautauqua Institution is a summer community located in southwestern New York State on Chautauqua Lake. It offers a unique mix of fi ne and performing arts, lectures, interfaith worship, educational programs, and recreational activities. Each summer the Institution hosts over 2,200 events and 100,000 guests. For more information please visit, www. ciweb.org.

Annual Walk To End Alzheimer’s Set For Chautauqua Institution Contributed Article “What is so special Alzheimer’s Association
The Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the nation’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research programs. Across Western New York, there are six such Walks scheduled, including September 6 at the Chautauqua Institution.
about this Walk is the stunning location. The roughly two-mile Walk starts at the Turner Community Center and winds around the lake.

qua is very passionate about their efforts to help the roughly 19,000 residents who are impacted by this disease, and they are the key to this Walk’s significant growth.” The Walk is open to everyone and registration is a fast and simple process: simply log-on to http://www. alz.org/WNY or call 1.800.272.3900. Site check-in and day-of registration begins at 9
a.m., the opening ceremony starts at ten and the Walk gets underway at 10:10 a.m. Everyone who registers to Walk receives a nylon pinwheel flower as a remembrance of the day. The flowers come in four colors and symbolize the various reasons to participate. For instance, a purple flower means “I’ve lost someone to the disease”. Often, personal messages are written on
the flowers before they are “planted” in the Promise Garden on the site, which is a visual representation of the pledge to remember, to honor, to care and to fight Alzheimer’s disease. The flowers are retrieved at the end of the event to take home. There is no fee to register, but fundraising is strongly encouraged to ensure the Chapter can continue to provide local resources for
Chautauqua County residents who are directly impacted by Alzheimer’s. There are incentives for reaching certain fundraising goals, and participants have until October 31 to raise money to quality. The WNY Walk to End Alzheimer’s is made possible through the support of these sponsors: Elderwood, West Herr Toyota, and Tim Horton’s.

However the city is obviously more than its summer concert series. There are many worthy businesses and attractions that are open to the public year-round
in Dunkirk. The Dunkirk Lighthouse is a historic building that still stands 61 feet high today, overlooking Lake Erie. On the Lighthouse property, the Veteran's Park Museum exists, which has an
extensive collection of military artifacts. The Lighthouse, which has hosted music events on their stage, is a perfect place for a tour group or a wedding. The view, coupled with the Lighthouse's rich history, make it a desirable stop for locals and tour-

From 1830-1880, the population grew from 300 to over 7,000. The city's official website calls Dunkirk "a community of hardworking, caring people who are proud of their heritage and the City’s history." So whether you're get-

Randy goss memorial 14TH ANNUAL GOLf TOURNAMENT PAyS TRIBUTE TO GREAT MAN By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
By all accounts, Randy Goss was a caring, generous, beloved man. He was also borderline obsessed with the sport of golf. So for the 14th year in a row, the Randy Goss Memorial Golf Tournament will again combine his penchant for giving and his love of golf. The tournament will be held Saturday, August 16 at Hillview Golf Course on Berry Road in Fredonia. The action begins at 8:30 a.m. with a dinner to be served afterwards at the Dom Polski club in Dunkirk. “My dad golfed six days a week,” Jason Goss said of his father. “He rearranged his work schedule in the summer so he could golf six days a week. He was only 5-foot-5 and his driver was 5-foot-4. He studied the game. He loved the game. “With his passing,” Jason continued, “we were sitting around and someone said we should do a tournament in his honor. Uncles and friends of his started throwing ideas around. It was so big the first year. We started a scholarship fund in his name that was given to a local high school golfer.” While the tournament is now smaller than in those first few years, there will surely be as many stories about Randy

Goss as golf balls flying around on Saturday. “I remember him dressing up like Santa and taking toys to the hospital at Christmas time,” Jason Goss recalled. “He’d also do things like take toys and food to the Amish after a hard winter. “Back in the day, he did a Howling Happening down at Memorial Park,” he continued. “He raised the money to do that. It was a safe place for kids to trick-or-treat. He coached Little League while I was growing up. He always tried to help people in general. I try to look at this tournament as him still trying to help people.”
The money raised by the tournament is allocated differently each year. A portion always goes to youth baseball and softball leagues. Last year, a large chunk was donated to St. Jude’s hospital. Mostly, the tournament organizers just want to donate to an organization in need, whether it be the library, the fire department or the dive team. The spirit of Randy Goss’ generosity has lived on through donations to each of those and more. “In the past we’ve donated to Windows of Hope,” Jason noted. “They provide fl ights for people that are ill and need to get to the
hospital. Everyone there is a volunteer. My father used that when he was in Texas for his cancer treatment to get home a couple times. I thought that was a fitting place to donate to.” The tournament will have prizes on each hole. Registration is now open. More information can be found on the Facebook page “The 14th annual Randy Goss Memorial Golf Tourny!!!!” More information can also be received by contacting Jason Goss at (716)-4101538. “I think he’d be very happy and impressed by the turnout every year,” Jason Goss added.

COMMENTARY:
By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor
It’s not often that the Buffalo Bills show up on the national radar. But this past week, maybe even the past few months, no team in the National Football League has been more prevalent. The first major issue is the sale of the team. Fans are, and probably should be, concerned about the future of the team they love. With the unfortunate passing of Hall-of-Fame owner Ralph Wilson back in March, a series of speculation and rumor began. It’s pretty obvious that the best thing for the team (assuming you want them to stay in Buffalo) is if the team is sold to Buffalo Sabres owner Terry Pegula. The man stepped in a few years ago and bought the city’s hockey team, showed he wasn’t afraid to spend money to build a winner (though that hasn’t exactly worked out yet) and has donated millions of dollars to local charities and schools. If that’s not the kind of man the NFL wants at
the head of an organization, I’m not entirely sure what it’s looking for. Recently, Jon Bon Jovi had a letter published in the Buffalo News urging fans to trust him or something. Honestly, I’m not even sure what the point of the letter was. It sure never used the words, “I won’t move the team.” And really, that’s all the Bills fans should care about at this point. It’s easy to say that you want to build a winner, Mr. Bon Jovi, but it’s another thing to say that you want to build a dynasty in Buffalo. I’m also not entirely sure what the protocol is for moving a team. Do the league owners get to vote? If so, there have already been a number of other owners come out and say that the team needs to stay in Buffalo. This city loves its team. Can you even imagine how crazy things would get if the team ever actually won? Even a winning record at this point would lead to raucous celebrating in the streets. The Bills also made a huge national splash when they traded up in the draft to snag wide receiver Sammy Watkins. The move was dissected by all the talking heads. In fact (and I’m not making this up), there was actually a discussion about Sammy Watkins being a bust after the team’s first
Bills Hogging the national spotlight ever deny that. I’m just very confused as to how he made it in before Tim Brown. Let’s look at the numbers for a second. Keep in mind that I am not now, have never been, and never will be a fan of the Oakland Raiders. I’m trying to be as objective as I can. Brown played 17 seasons in the NFL.

The Baseball Hall Of Fame is something of a joke in my book. Guys like Andre Dawson are in but guys like Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds will never sniff it. SIDE NOTE: How come Tony LaRussa and Joe Torre were inducted into the Hall? Didn’t they both ride known steroid users to their success? The door swings both ways, no? I guess not. The fact that someone of Brown’s caliber isn’t in yet proves that the Hall of Fame is truly the best of the best and not the Hall of Very Good. And Brown will get in eventually, I’m sure. I’m just slightly confused how he got in before Brown. I couldn’t find any numbers that sided with Reed. That said, congratulations to Andre Reed. You had a wonderful career and the honor is well deserved. You brought the city of Buffalo many unforgettable memories and for that we applaud you.

on No. 2 and an iron shot that left me just short of the green, the wheels fell off. Hard. I duffed a chip that rolled back down the front of the green in nearly the exact spot I had just hit from. Then I tried putting from the fringe and messed that up too. Suddenly what looked like an easy par turned into a double bogey. No. 3 was no picnic either. My drive got through the seemingly shrinking gap between the trees, but sailed a little bit left and gave me a tough shot through the trees. I swear this hole gets harder every time I play it. Could I be wrong? Anyway, I decided to be stubborn (one of my golfi ng group’s favorite sayings regarding hitting through trees) and hit a beauty of a 5-iron. Bryan had a great view of my shot from the side and said that the ball simply lost all momentum getting through the tree. The ball never solidly hit any branches, but
came out the other side like a dead duck. Of course, I then preceded to mess my pants on my way to a triple-bogey. Yes, I opened my round with a birdie, double bogey, triple bogey. Ouch. It’s situations like these that I’ve been trying to get myself to shake off the bad shots and remember that I just had a birdie. Those things aren’t easy to get. It’s so easy in golf to get hung up on your bad shots and carry that bad mojo from one hole to the next. Try to shake that off. You’re out there to have some fun. There’s no need to beat yourself up over a bad shot or two. It’s a hard game, but it’s a game. Perhaps my shot of the day came on No. 4. I almost always come up short with my 8-iron on this par 3, so I finally went to the 7-iron and hit a beauty, landing the ball within 10 feet of the pin. While that’s not incredibly close in the grand scheme of things, it’s one of my closer approaches ever on a par
3. I came oh-so-close to nailing a second birdie in four holes, but settled for a tap-in par. So even with two holes that were utter garbage, I was playing bogey golf through four holes. Strange how that works out. Unfortunately, I just didn’t play well the rest of the way out. I wasn’t horrible, but I ended up shooting a 47 for the round. Bryan ended with a 49 after lipping out his par putt on No. 9. While neither of us really went home happy with the way we played, it was also the fi rst time in a long time that both of us broke 50 in the same round. Bryan likes to shoot 50 or 51, so hopefully he was happy with that 49. And no, he doesn’t actually ‘like’ shooting over 50, but he’s very consistent with those scores. Usually I use this space to ask readers for information on local tournaments, but this week I’d like to take this chance to implore golfers (or even nongolfers) to sign up for
a few tournaments each year. The people that plan these things put in an awful lot of work and often lose sleep and hair in the process. There are so many tournaments that raise money for some amazing causes. There’s really no excuse not to play in them. It’s also a great chance to play some new courses. Have you never had a chance to play at Shorewood Country Club? Ask about its tournament schedule and sign up. How about Tri County Country Club? There are many tournaments up there that are open to the public. Of course, the key to remember is that you’ll almost certainly be helping the less fortunate by playing golf. How can you beat that? As always, golf is great. Go get yourself some. Stefan Gestwicki is the sports editor of the Chautauqua Star.

Two of the top scores in the bareback bronc competition came in ideal conditions in the afternoon with Tyler Waltz, Martin, Tenn., taking first with an 82 point ride on a mare named Lovely Lexi, and last year’s Rookie of the Year, Tim O’Connell, Zwingle, Iowa, tying Justin Miller’s opening night ride at 81 points.
The saddle bronc event had three successful rides in the matinee, with two Texas cowboys, Casey Maddox from Witchita, and Dean Wadsworth from Ozuna tying at 77 points. Their efforts, however, were not good enough to catch the 82 point scored posted by Louisiana’s nine times NFR qualifier and 2012 World Champion Cody DeMoss on opening night. The Painted Pony Rodeo’s bulls had scored a shutout until they met up with three Pennsylvania cowboys who had the only successful rides of the week. On Friday John Leinaweaver of

Because of the slippery arena, none of the girls in the barrel racing was able to challenge the winning time of 14.81 by Sarah Attea, Camillus, N.Y., on opening night. Only three of the 63 entries were able to break the 15 second barrier for the week, putting all three of the women over the $1000 mark in winnings for the week. Second place went to Laura Trumpower, Mercersburg, Pa., and third to Natalie Davidson from Salem, Ohio. The All-around Cowboys award, which goes to the cowboy who wins the most money while competing in at least two events, went to veteran tie-down and team roper, Carmine Nastri, of Ballston

In addition to prize money, each of the winners received a set of Montana Silversmith engraved spurs from the fire department In addition to the rodeo competition, the fans were entertained by the antics of rodeo clown Hollywood Harris, the outstanding job of directing the action in the arena by announcer Greg Simas, and the trick and fancy roping of fourteen yearold Cooper Nastri, who is the youngest professional specialty act in rodeo today. Head chef Bruce Gustafson reports that almost 3000 barbeque beef dinners were served and total attendance was approximately 5700.

Efforts Continue To Eradicate Invasive Giant Hogweed Contributed Article NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) continues its ongoing efforts to control invasive giant hogweed plants across the state and today reminds residents to look for signs of the plant and report any new locations. "DEC is making great strides towards eradicating giant hogweed in New York," said Commissioner Martens. "Every property where giant hogweed can be removed increases biodiversity and helps to make outdoor areas safe for people to enjoy. It is important to raise public awareness to make
sure that people know how to identify this plant, know not to touch it, know how to report it and know how to eradicate it." Giant hogweed is a non-native invasive plant that can cause painful burns, permanent scarring and even blindness. DEC warns against touching any part of the plant, as skin exposed to both giant hogweed sap and sunlight can be severely burned. As a noxious weed, it is unlawful to propagate, sell or transport. In addition to being a health concern, it crowds out native plant species and can contribute to soil erosion. Now is the best time to discover giant hogweed locations as the plants are currently flowering and setting seed. Flowering giant hogweed plants are 8 to

deC seeks participants For game Bird survey
Contributed Article NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Joe Martens today encouraged New Yorkers to participate in surveys for two popular game birds: wild turkeys and ring-necked pheasants as part of Governor Cuomo's NY Open for Fishing and Hunting Initiative. "Science efforts that the public can assist in providing our wildlife managers with invaluable data and give people the opportunity to partner with DEC to help monitor New York's wildlife resources," Commissioner Martens said. "I encourage residents to take the time to record your observations of turkeys or pheasants while exploring the forests and fields around your home or driving through the state's beautiful landscapes this summer."
Summer Wild Turkey Sighting Survey
Since 1996, DEC has conducted the Summer Wild Turkey Sighting Survey to estimate the number of
wild turkey poults (young of the year) per hen statewide. Weather, predation and habitat conditions during the breeding and brood-rearing seasons can all significantly impact nest success, hen survival and poult survival. This index allows DEC to gauge reproductive success and predict fall harvest potential. During the month of August, survey participants record the sex and age composition of all flocks of wild turkeys observed during normal travel. Those interested in participating can download a Summer Wild Turkey Sighting Survey form along with instructions and the data sheet directly from DEC's website. Survey cards can also be obtained by contacting a regional DEC office, calling (518) 402-8886, or by e-mailing fw.wildlife@dec.ny.gov (type "Turkey Survey" in the subject line).

These 50 new access projects include building new boat launches, installing new hunting blinds and building new trails and parking areas. In addition, the 2014-15 budget includes $4 million to repair the state's fish hatcheries; and renews and allows expanded use of crossbows for hunting in New York State. This year's budget also reduces short-term fishing licenses fees; increases the number of authorized statewide free fishing days to eight from two; authorizes DEC to offer 10 days of promotional prices for hunting, fishing and trapping licenses; and authorizes free Adventure Plates for new lifetime license holders, discounted Adventure Plates for existing lifetime license holders and regular fee Adventure Plates for annual license holders.
EFFORTS CONTINUE TO ERADICATE INVASIVE GIANT HOGWEED, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 28 Although the DEC works with many regional and municipal partners to address this invasive species, the public is an invaluable
partner in helping to report suspected plant locations. The DEC Hogweed Program receives about 2,000 calls and e-mails each year.
Eradication efforts to date are encouraging. This year, now halfway through the field season, more than 800 properties have had
their giant hogweed plants controlled by DEC and 28 percent of properties visited had no plants found this year after being controlled in
a previous year. For more information about the Giant Hogweed program, visit the DEC's website.

Very little new information is available since rough conditions kept most anglers off Lake Erie this week. Today's conditions are more favorable and many boaters have headed out. Today's early reports out of Barcelona point toward good action in 90-130 feet of water. Stickbaits run 50-60 feet down have worked well. Previously, walleye anglers out of Dunkirk targeted suspended walleye in 80-100 feet of water. Depths of 60-70 feet were better off Cattaraugus and Sturgeon Point. Buffalo area anglers had seen better catches along the international line at depths over 50 feet. Worm harnesses and stickbaits work well for walleye. Perch fishing has been hit or miss lately. A good starting point would be between Cattaraugus Creek and Sturgeon Point in 50 feet of water, and then work towards deeper water. Live emerald shiners fished just off the bottom work best for perch. Emerald shiners are available for dipping at Broderick Park. Anglers report consistent smallmouth bass action around structure in 30-45 feet of water, from Buffalo to Barcelona. Drop-shot

Marrone Impatient After Preseason Loss
By John Wawrow AP Sports Writer
Eager to get out to practice, Bills coach Doug Marrone was in no mood for questions on Tuesday. Marrone provided mostly blunt one-word or one-sentence answers in addressing reporters after his team returned to training camp following a preseason-opening loss. ''We played again and we lost,'' he said, when asked what he saw reviewing film of the Bills' 17-13 loss to the New York Giants in the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio, on Sunday. As for what message he issued his players, Marrone said: ''We're practicing tonight and trying to get better.'' If that's the case, then the Bills have plenty of work ahead, and little time to get it done during a short turnaround between games. Buffalo will practice only twice this week before traveling to play the Carolina Panthers on Friday. On the bright side, the Bills had several injured players set to return to practice. They included tight ends Scott Chandler (groin) and Tony Moeaki (hamstring), who were both hurt during the first two days of camp. Marrone said he was encouraged by the performance of his starting defense against the Giants. In two series, the Bills starters held New York to minus-2 yards rushing and
scrimmage, which Manuel had an inconsistent debut. The second-year quarterback completed two passes for 19 yards in two series. And he missed on three attempts directed toward rookie first-round pick Sammy Watkins. Backup Jeff Tuel produced the only touchdown drive by hitting Robert Woods for a 2-yard pass on fourth down. Tuel also threw an interception on a pass that went off receiver T.J. Graham's hands at the goal line. ''There's always stuff we can improve on,'' running back Fred Jackson said. ''We looked at some of the good things that we did, but we have to focus more on the things that we didn't do well. And there was a lot of stuff we have to get better at.'' Safety Aaron Williams was encouraged by how the starting defense played in making its debut under new coordinator Jim Schwartz. The former Lions coach replaced Mike Pettine, who was hired to take over as the Cleveland Browns coach in January. ''I feel like we came out strong and Buffalo Bills head coach Doug Marrone watches in the first quarter against set the tempo for the whole team,'' the New York Giants at the Pro Football Hall of Fame exhibition NFL football game Sunday, Aug. 3, 2014, in Canton, Ohio.

March. "There has been a lot of conjecture, so we think it's important to clarify our intentions to the fans of the team and people of Buffalo," Bon Jovi wrote. "I know how much the Bills mean to the people of this region. So I want you to hear this from me: I'm not risking it all to let you down. If we are given
the chance to be the next owners of the Buffalo Bills, I promise you that we will bring the same passion that you do every Sunday, every day." Calling it his intention to "carry on Ralph Wilson's legacy" in Buffalo, Bon Jovi said his group is committed to working with state and local officials and the business community to
identify a new stadium site in the region. At no point in the seven-paragraph letter does Bon Jovi name his two partners or mention they are both from Toronto. His group is rounded out by Larry Tanenbaum, chairman of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, and the Rogers family which controls Rogers Communications.
The Toronto group's intentions have been met with skepticism in Buffalo. Two weeks ago, Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz told The Associated Press that he has no doubts regarding the group's long-term intentions to move the team to Toronto. Continued on page 34

Trottier, Irbe Hired As Sabres Assistant Coaches
By John Wawrow AP Sports Writer
Sabres coach Ted Nolan unveiled his new staff of assistants, who will include former NHL players Bryan Trottier and Arturs Irbe. And first-year general manager Tim Murray also shuffled his hockey department on Monday by making three moves, including hiring Rob Murphy to the newly created role of director of scouting. Greg Royce was hired as director of amateur scouting, and Murray promoted Mark Jakubowski to take over as assistant general manager. Assistant GM Kevin Devine previously split both duties in Buffalo, and it's unclear if he is still with the team. The additions and changes continue a series of shake-ups that have occurred since Nolan and Murray
took over midway through last season. The Sabres have spent much of the past year rebuilding from scratch. Buffalo (21-5110) bottomed out last season after finishing last in the standings and set a franchise record for losses. Trottier provides Nolan's staff a high-profile presence. He is the former New York Islanders star forward and Hockey Hall of Famer, who has won seven Stanley Cup championships as a player and assistant coach. Trottier has nine years of NHL coaching experience split between Pittsburgh, Colorado and the New York Rangers. It was with the Rangers where he spent part of the 2002-03 season as head coach. Irbe will serve as goalie coach. He is a two-time All-Star goalie, who
spent 13 seasons in the NHL, before leaving to play in Europe. ''I'm very happy with the group of talented hockey minds we were able to assemble,'' Nolan said. ''Each of these coaches brings an extensive and different background from the hockey world. And I'm confident they will help get our team to where it needs to go this season.'' Nolan rounded out his staff by hiring Danny Flynn and Tom Coolen. The four newcomers take over after Nolan elected to replace the staff he inherited from former coach Ron Rolston, who was fired in November. Nolan took over on an interim basis before signing a three-year contract extension in March. Nolan coached the Islanders from 200608, when he first got to know Trottier. And he has ties to his
three other assistants. Irbe is from Latvia, and worked with Nolan, who also doubled as coach of the country's national team. Coolen was also an assistant in Latvia. Flynn spent the past six seasons coaching QMJHL Moncton, where he was the league's 2009 coach of the year. He is reunited with Nolan after previously working as his assistant with the Islanders and OHL Sault Ste. Marie in the 1990s. Murray, who previously served as the Ottawa Senators assistant GM, also leaned on past connections in shuffling his staff. Both Murphy and Royce previously worked as scouts in Ottawa. Jakubowski has 10 years of experience with the Sabres, including the past six as an assistant to the general manager.

Royce joins the Sabres as the director of amateur scouting and begins his 18th year as a member of an NHL scouting staff after
spending the last six seasons as an amateur scout with the Ottawa Senators. Prior to his time with the Senators, Royce served as an amateur scout for three seasons with the Phoenix Coyotes and worked eight seasons with the Nashville Predators, including three as the Predators’ assistant director of amateur scouting. Prior to his scouting career, Royce served as head coach of the Quinte
Hawks (MetJHL) for one season, coaching the team to a 34-133 record, and also served as head coach of the Wellington Dukes (MetJHL) for four seasons. A native of Belleville, Ontario, Royce played three seasons of OHL hockey as a member of the Belleville Bulls and Guelph Platers. He also played four years at Dalhousie University, and spent two years playing in Germany.

Reigning MVP McCutchen Has Broken Rib Contributed Article Associated Press
Andrew McCutchen has a broken bone in his ribcage three days after being hit by a pitch, but the Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder and last year's NL MVP hopes to avoid going on the disabled list. McCutchen left in the eighth inning of Sunday's loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks at Phoenix after feeling pain in his side when he swung at a pitch. He had to be helped down the dugout steps to the clubhouse and also needed help getting dressed after the game. McCutchen said he couldn't be sure that getting hit might have caused the injury but wouldn't rule it out. ''I don't know but I've taken a million swings and have never felt anything in my side until Sunday,'' McCutchen said. McCutchen was hit in the back by a pitch from Arizona Diamondbacks reliever Randal Delgado on Saturday night. Though Delgado said the pitch got away from him, the Pirates suspected it was payback for Diamondbacks star first baseman Paul Goldschmidt suffering a season-ending broken left hand a night earlier when hit by a pitch from Pittsburgh reliever Ernesto Frieri. ''I'm not going to play today and I'm not going to play tomorrow

but we'll see after that,'' McCutchen said Tuesday. ''Two days ago, I couldn't even bend down to put my shoes on. Now, I can ... get dressed like normal, so I'm getting better.'' While McCutchen was not in the lineup for Tuesday night's game against the Miami Marlins, the Pirates are waiting before making a decision on whether he needs to on the DL.
Starling Marte, normally the Pirates' left fielder, was activated from the 7-day disabled list and started in center field. He took the roster spot of third baseman Pedro Alvarez, who was placed on the bereavement list. That left the Pirates a man short. Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said the Pirates' medical staff is having difficulty putting a
timetable on McCutchen's return because the injury is a rarity in baseball. ''They are trying to get as much information as they can,'' Hurdle said. ''At this point we're weighing whether Andrew might be able to come back in less than 15 days against playing a man short. For now, we're going to wait and keep him on the active roster.''

bon jovi letter, continued from page 32 Under their lease that runs through the 2022, the Bills are essentially locked into playing at Ralph Wilson Stadium through the 2019 season. There is a one-time exception that would allow them to break the agreement for just under $28.4 million in 2020. The deal also includes a strict non-relocation clause in which the Bills — including Wilson's estate — are not allowed to negotiate with anyone, who to their knowledge, has an intention of relocating the team during the term of the lease. The Bills Fan Alliance, a group of fans and business leaders, questioned Bon Jovi's intentions in a statement released Sunday. "While we appreciate his sentiment, it's worth noting that nowhere in his letter does he write or directly state that he will 'not move the Bills from Buffalo,'" wrote the Alliance's directors, Matt Sabuda, Brian Cinelli and Steve Brady. The group urged Bon Jovi to back up his statements with actions by signing a binding pre-purchase agreement to waive the oneyear buyout clause. "Anything short of formal action taken on their part will be viewed as nothing more than rhetoric," the Alliance directors wrote. Fans have also organized a ban on Bon Jovi music being played in Buffalo. The group has printed T-shirts and posters with the motto: "Bon Jovi Free Zone." Numerous fans were
spotted wearing the shirts and carrying placards at the Pro Football Hall of Fame ceremonies on Saturday night, when former Bills receiver Andre Reed was among the seven inductees. Reed is a member of the Fan Alliance. He drew cheers during his induction speech by saying: "Oh yeah, and the Bills will stay in Buffalo, too." NHL Buffalo Sabres owner Terry and Kim Pegula and New York real estate mogul Donald Trump are also in the running to buy the Bills. Prospective groups are set to begin making formal bids to buy the team in the coming weeks. A potential owner could be identified by as early as Labor Day. The Bills most recently were valued by Forbes at $870 million but are expected to sell for at least $1 billion, partly because NFL teams rarely go on the market. In his letter, Bon Jovi noted his interest in buying an NFL franchise grew when he founded the Philadelphia Soul of the Arena Football League. He sold his interests in the team a few years ago. "My family and I are prepared to make this life-changing commitment to be part of the Bills," Bon Jovi wrote. "This is not a hobby or an acquisition. Building a winner on and off the field will be job one, and I intend to spend as much time on the ground in Buffalo as needed to accomplish that goal."

clicking in their final season together. Hendrick Motorsports named Greg Ives the crew chief for 2015 once Letarte heads to the broadcast booth. ''I think he's going to make me look bad,'' Letarte said. ''Mr. Hendrick has a remarkable talent of matching drivers with crew chiefs.'' Harvick, who clinched a spot in the Chase, was second, followed by Joey Logano, Clint Boywer and Greg Biffle. Here are five things from Pocono Raceway: GORDON'S MILESTONES: Jeff Gordon followed his record fifth Brickyard 400 victory with a few more milestones. He just couldn't make it back-to-back wins. Gordon had a strong
No. 24 Chevrolet for most of Sunday's race at Pocono Raceway and finished sixth. He led a race-high 63 laps and hit 24,000 career laps led and 1,000 laps led at Pocono. He does hold a 17-point lead over Hendrick Motorsports teammate and winner Dale Earnhardt Jr. Earnhardt, though, would hold the No. 1 seed in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship because he has three wins to Gordon's two. Gordon had his sixth top-10 finish in the last eight races. ''It's just so awesome and encouraging and has got my confidence sky high,'' he said. ''I just can't wait to get to the next race.'' THE BIG ONE: Dale Earnhardt Jr. had few cars left to hold off on the lead lap after several potential contenders got knocked out. Denny Hamlin triggered a 13-car wreck with 43 laps after he got sideways coming out of a turn. Brian Vickers tried to avoid Hamlin and slammed into Matt Kenseth to send cars all over the track. Tony Stewart's No. 14 Chevrolet rested atop Paul Menard's No. 27 Chevy. Aric Almirola said he slammed on the breaks as hard as he could, but still got ''creamed from behind and pushed into the wreck.'' TIRE WOES: Danica Patrick hit the wall with a right rear flat and finished 30th. Six-time champion Jimmie
Johnson finished outside the top 10 for the fourth straight race. He fell a lap down after his rear right tire smacked the wall, rebounded to run fifth, then a second blown tire forced him to the garage. ''It wasn't the best weekend but we still gave ourselves a chance at a win, if not a top five, today and came up a little short,'' Johnson said. NEW CHIEF: Denny Hamlin finished ninth in his first race with an interim crew chief. Team engineer Mike Wheeler filled in for the suspended Darian Grubb. Grubb was suspended for six races for rules violations last week at the Brickyard. ''He called the race nice,'' Hamlin said. ''Good communication and we were on the same strategy as far as what I was thinking and what he was thinking, so that was good. Pretty seamless for the most part.'' YOU AGAIN? Dale Earnhardt Jr. was the fifth straight Hendrick Motorsports driver to win at Pocono. Owner Rick Hendrick was not at the race, though he did talk to his winning driver on the phone on pit road. ''I told him thanks for believing in me and making my life better,'' Earnhardt said. Earnhardt's sweep followed Kasey Kahne and Jimmie Johnson last year and Jeff Gordon in the August 2012 race.
