The scenic journey from East Aurora to Derby will take place on an oldfashioned trolley, as attendees will be able to relax and ride through the colorful countryside. After completing the tour of the Graycliff buildings and grounds, time will be allotted for a visit to the Pavilion Gift Shop. Exclusive products that will be for sale include jewelry, apparel, home décor, holiday ornaments, note cards and clothing items. While the “Sunday in the Country” tours represent an outstanding opportunity for first-time visitors to experience the architectural jewel that is the Graycliff Estate, anyone who has taken a tour in the past may be intrigued to make reservations for a visit this fall as extensive restoration efforts continue. The Graycliff Conservancy, Inc., a not-for-profit organization dedicated to restoring and preserving the Graycliff Estate as a publicly accessible landmark, actually began planning the complete restoration of the prop-

erty before its purchase was officially approved. Thanks in large part to a $10,000 grant from the Preservation League of New York State, the Graycliff Conservancy, Inc. was able to commission a historic structures report, a detailed strategic plan that serves as the guide to all of the restoration work that is taking place. The restoration work includes the addition of a handicapped-accessible visitors pavilion, new walkways and a variety of masonry projects. “Sunday in the Country” tours are scheduled to take place on September 30, October 7, October 14 and October 21. Each tour begins at 11:30 a.m. and ends at approximately 3:30 p.m. The cost is $69 per person, with prepaid advance reservations required. Since the outing will involve some walking outdoors, comfortable shoes are recommended. To make reservations or for more information please e-mail : graycliff@ verizon.net or call 947-9217.

Sherman Days Opens Century-Old Time Capsule container the size of a shoebox and announced to the crowd ceremoniously that he was going to open it. With the care of an anthropologist and the help of a pair of metal sheers, he cut cautiously into the sides of the small package. The time capsule came from the Stanley Hose Company, the name of the volunteer fire department of Sherman, and was known to exist but was never disturbed until recent renovations to the fire hall building were performed. The on Main Street who were there metal box was sealed within a Peter Hamilton masonry block with the date to watch.

a hand-sized opening crossways through the box, he proclaimed, “This is the first time in one-hundred ten years that this has seen the light of day.” As if a locksmith, Patterson delicately removed the contents, then he exhibited them to the observers standing at close view to the disclosing. The objects inside were brown and faded, and dusted with a century of powder. A pair of unidentified photographs, a handful of what John Patterson described as “peanuts,” and parcel that appeared to be a stack of crumbled envelopes all came out of the time capsule box. John Patterson said that all of the contents would be offered to an historical preservationist for profession assessment.

The concluding review would be announced to the Yorker Museum Historical Society at a later date and recorded. The Yorker Museum was an appropriate location for the time capsule revealing, as it is a recognized historical setting in Chautauqua County. The site consists of a compilation of restored buildings representational of the architectural past throughout the county, and more noteworthy, buildings of

legendary importance in the Sherman area. Among them, most notably, is the Peter Ripley house, the oldest frame building in Sherman. Amid the other carefully relocated structures are the relocated Nettle Hill School House, a saltbox fashion home, a buggy shed, and a log house. The interiors of the building display artifacts and historical relics of older times.

August 9, 2012 Edition – Main Section – A

War And Peace

The New Issue Of Chautauqua Literary Journal Contributed Article Erica Sklar

This isn’t your grandmother’s War and Peace. The many contributors of Chautauqua literary journal’s 2012 issue have approached this year’s theme from diverse perspectives. The significance of “War and Peace” has elicited writing with a more expansive scope than one might find elsewhere, while keeping the immediacy of personal witness. A collaboration between Chautauqua Institution and the Creative Writing Department of the University of North Carolina Wilmington, Chautauqua remains true to the roots of Chautauqua Institution. It seeks a sense of inquiry into questions of personal, social, political, spiritual, and aesthetic importance, regardless of genre. Above all, the journal values work that is intensely personal, yet somehow implicitly comments on larger public concerns—work that answers every reader’s most urgent question: Why are you telling me this? The “War and Peace” issue is poignant, full of writers who tackle weighty topics with sensitivity and creativity. Especially in an election year, this issue deserves a closer look. With an essay set in the Deep South, poems in historic France, and fiction in the Middle East— plus much more—Chautauqua

crosses continents and centuries. One treasure is a series of portraits and personal accounts of Japanese men and women who survived the atomic bombs dropped by the United States on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Their stories are powerful—as these civilian victims of war claim their right to speak out— and often uplifting, when they have found inner peace. The cover this year features a damaged, painted photograph by Don Kimes, Chautauqua Institution’s Artistic Director for Visual Arts. Kimes began working on his own destroyed art after his home and studio were flooded, and he has created some of his most emotive pieces through that painful loss of records, writing, and art. Transformed, the photographs of Kimes’s paintings provide an apt visual parallelling the duality of “War and Peace.” A number of former soldiers have lent their voices to this issue, speaking with the authority of first-hand experience. S. Brady Tucker, writer of “The Cold Logic of Farm Animals,” served in the Persian Gulf War. Liam Corley wrote “unwound,” a finalist in Chautauqua’s poetry contest; he served in Afghanistan as a lieutenant in the Navy reserves. Robert McGowan, who served in the 9th Infantry Division in Vietnam, wrote a novel from

the perspective of a soldier who has lost a foot, driving him to ask incisive questions about the decision to make war. his issue’s list of contributors features some familiar names from Chautauqua Institution, and especially the Writers’ Center: Keekee Minor, Diana Hume George, Jan Beatty, Richard Lehnert, Christopher Nye, Neil Shepard, Elaine Terranova, and Todd Davis. The winners of the “on-grounds” contests last summer are included: Kathryn Hoffman with “What I know About Elections,” and Sophie Klahr with “May.” With this issue Chautauqua also welcomes new voices Luciana Bohne and Gerardo Mena. “The Lives of Cells” by Kathryn Winograd is the winner of Chautauqua’s Poetry Contest 2011. The judge, Todd Davis, praised Winograd’s poem, saying it presents “an act of horror of such incomprehensible and intimate violence that the very foundations of such ideas as compassion or mercy or peace shift upon their foundations and threaten to dissolve.” Subscriptions may be ordered online by visiting chautauqua. submishmash.com, or by downloading the order form at www.ciweb.org/literary-journal and mailing it to CLSC, P.O. Box 28, Chautauqua, NY 14722.

Everyone Has A Story: Kathleen Dennis Reaching Suicide Survivors with the Power of Words

By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor

When Kathleen Davis’ husband took his life in 2004, it started a new chapter in her life and a long path to healing. But in her grief she found a way to reach out to others who were hurting through the power of her written words. Kathleen’s three books demonstrate her own progression starting with the grieving process and trying to understand and come to terms with her devastating loss, through the love she found in God

and family and friends. In her final book, “Love, It’s Seasons and Beyond,” she recounts the beautiful memories and seasons of life, noting “there truly is never an end to loving

heal.” Once, Kathleen was in a restaurant when “a women came up to me and said she lost a nephew to suicide and thought it was wonderful that I wrote that book. “ “She said she couldn’t talk about her nephew, because people couldn’t understand how anyone could do that.” Kathleen said she didn’t realize that suicide was such a taboo subject until after she lost her husband. “I was never aware of it until after I lost him.” She says the public doesn’t realize how many people have been lost in our area to suicide. “These are people who went to church, people from in all walks of life.” Many times, she says, they are middle-aged men. Marrying in 1969, Kathleen and her husband Peter shared 35 years together. Many of her later poems are a recounting of their happy years together, spending time at the ocean, a place she and her husband Pete loved. Her favorite poem from her latest book is “On the Path,” which is about a place near her home in Sugar Grove that she and Pete would visit while dating, which she said had a spring “with the sweetest water.” “I can still see us there.” Despite their happy life, the chronic pain her husband experienced after being diagnosed with fibromyalgia and the resulting loss of work and depression that followed they can do it as well. proved too much for him. She received considerable Although Pete was normally feedback from people who told an outgoing and fun loving her the books helped them person, Kathleen could see the heal. “Knowing that I could changes that were occurring. heal meant they too could “I started to get these feelings another person.” While her poetry has been therapeutic for herself, Kathleen has also helped countless others on their path to healing. After her first two books were published, she mailed hundreds of copies to suicide survivor groups throughout the country. She also mailed copies to libraries to reach as many people as possible. Kathleen says her first two books, “Why? The Eternal Answered Question,” and “The Answer Is: Love,” are about getting through the journey and showing other people that

and they were not good something was happening and I didn’t know what it was. All I could see was that my husband was changing a lot.” She adds, “but he would not let me tell anyone how he was feeling.” Besides the piercing grief, Kathleen also had to cope with the natural changes in lifestyle that occurred in the wake of her husband’s death. “I was never the outgoing person. He was the joker, the laugher, and he knew everything about sports. I liked being in his shadow. I loved him so much and people loved being around him.” In addition, he was the one to handle things such as dealing with contractors or purchasing a car. “It’s scary to be a women alone. I still pray for wisdom.” What she has found is that there are many strong women, and with the help of her friends and family, and love of God, she was able to survive the crisis of her loss. Interestingly, Kathleen has stated that many times she doesn’t remember even writing. “When I think about it, it is like God has done this. When I read some of the poems, I think, where did this come from?” She would often wake up in the middle of the night and would have to get up to write, or at other times she would be driving her car or walking or reading and have to stop to write. She remembers once working on a poem she could not finish.

“We are always given a test- the question is are we going to pass it or fail it? When we pass, we grow stronger.” - Kathleen Dennis, author thinking about it.” “I just feel that this is my purpose, what I am suppose to do.” Ultimately, her healing came from God. Heartbroken, one cold winter night she prayed to God, “Please, please help me.” “I fell into bed and told God, I surrender my life to you because I don’t know what else to do.” Kathleen says a vision of Jesus came to her, and “from that point on, I felt like this burden was lifted.” About life she says, “We are always given a test- the question is are we going to pass it or fail it?” When we pass, we grow stronger, she says.

As to her future, Kathleen doesn’t have plans to write another book, but says she has thought about writing short stories. As far as where she is emotionally, she says, “I am about as healed as I can get.” “I feel him spiritually and knowing where he is, I will be there someday. That’s what keeps me going, that’s my faith.” Kathleen Dennis’ latest book, “Love, It’s Seasons and Beyond,” is available at the Book Nook in Dunkirk, the Lily Dale Book Store and Off the Beaten Path in Lakewood.

The Weekly Word

Praying for Our Nation

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church Jamestown www.thenewfamilychurch.com

Seldom has the Christian realized the power that Almighty God has granted to them to secure peace for their nation. Our elected officials are not the reason this nation fails or succeeds. This nation fails or succeeds as a result of the commitment Christians have to diligently pray for those in authority. Politicians may have civic authority, but the Christians have the authority of Christ on the earth. 1 Timothy 2:1-2 says, “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and GIVING OF THANKS, be made for all

men; for kings, and for ALL that are in authority; THAT WE MAY LEAD A QUIET AND PEACEABLE LIFE in all godliness and honesty.” A Christian is a Christian before they are ever a Republican or Democrat. We are citizens of the commonwealth of Heaven before we are ever citizens of an earthly nation. Too often, Christians are blaming the president or another politician for the state of the nation meanwhile God has given them the power to change things in prayer. The Bible says to give thanks for your leaders, not sit around and complain

about them. The Bible says to pray, supplicate, and intercede for those in civic government “that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life.” Many times believers are the ones sitting around saying, “This country is going down the drain.” Believers that talk that way are part of the problem and not part of the solution. Ezekiel 22:30 says, “And I (God) sought for a man among them that should make up the hedge and stand in the gap before Me FOR THE LAND that I should not destroy it, but I found none.” God is looking for someone to stand in

the gap. Many people today, even Christians, are the gap. They complain, they bicker, and they defend the purposes of a political party when they should have entered into the presence of God and changed things there. We must learn that Christians, not politicians, dictate what happens in our nation. When Abraham interceded for the city of Sodom in Genesis chapter 18, we learn something very important about the influence that righteous people have on our nation. As God was about to destroy Sodom because of the hor-

rific sins of that city, He said in Genesis 18:26, “…If I find fifty righteous within the city then I will spare the place for THEIR SAKES.” God said that He would withhold judgment upon the land for the sake of the righteous. The faithfulness of Christians does not affect the health of a church or a community only; it affects the health of the entire nation. I challenge every Christian on this Memorial Day weekend to pray for our nation, civic leaders, and troops. Let’s stop complaining and start praying that our nation be changed.

begin persecuting the Jews. It is this last 3 ½ year period that is referred to as the “Great Tribulation.” The Book of Revelation describes the events and the condition of the earth during the Tribulation. It is certainly a time that we wouldn’t want to experience! Please remember that when reading the Book of Revelation, the images presented are symbols of the true events, people, and places. Unless you gain an understanding of these symbols

through study and prayer, the Book of Revelation can seem pretty confusing. While these images and events portrayed in Revelation can cause some people to become fearful about the End Times, they don’t need to be! When we accept Christ and live for Him, God promises to deliver us from the Tribulation Period. Next week we’ll examine this and other aspects of the Tribulation in greater detail. Stay tuned for more exciting events to come!

Keeping The Faith

Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia www.thefamilychurches.org

Dear Pastor, I’ve heard the Biblical terms “Tribulation” and “Great Tribulation” when talking about the End Times. What are they referring to? The terminology of the End Times can seem complicated, especially due to the fact that terms had to be created by Biblical scholars to describe some of the events and concepts. This word tribulation means, “…to experience trouble or suffering” and is used two ways in the Bible. First, it is used to describe the trouble

that all Christians experience living in a sinful world. Jesus said in the Book of John 16:33 that, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” Jesus said that during these times of trouble we should stay in joy. Why? Because Jesus has overcome the world! This tells us that He’ll help us overcome the worldly difficulties, too! The word “tribulation” is also

found in the Bible in reference to a specific time during the Last Days of the world. The terms “Tribulation” and “Great Tribulation” are found in the scriptures Matthew 24:21, 29, Mark 13:24, and Revelation 7:14. According to the Old Testament Book of Daniel (9:27), the tribulation period will last for 7 years. During this time, the Antichrist will rise to power and initially appear to be a friend to the Nation of Israel. After 3 ½ years he will turn against Israel and

They apparently had no trouble selling however many they had time to make.

In 1940 the Brockways incorporated as the Leader Tractor Manufacturing Company of Chagrin Falls. They were still made in Auburn, but Auburn didn’t have a post office and that had led to some postal inconvenience. They produced a much more improved tractor, but it was still very limited in numbers. Somehow, they kept going through the war. They tried a three wheel design. They used different colors. They came up with improved models. In their size range, these were actually quite advanced, practical and pleasantly operating tractors. In 1944 when they no longer could get the Chevrolet

engines, they switched to six cylinder Chrysler engines, but soon changed again to a four cylinder Hercules. Sources disagree on which models were produced in which years in which order, but they produced Models A (three wheeled), B and D. The tractors were sold in a number of Ohio auto dealerships owned by the Schott Brothers who had loaned the Brockways a large sum of money, so they could expand production. But in 1949 Schott Brothers foreclosed. They scrapped all the tractors and parts and destroyed the Continued on page 15

Get Going with Breakfast.   Kids are going back to school, and that means getting them up earlier and trying to get them to eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Research has shown that children who regularly eat breakfast have better test scores, better behavior and are less hyperactive than children who skip breakfast. Here are tips and ideas for easy and healthy breakfasts: Shake It Up! Studies show that children are not drinking enough milk to meet their needs for calcium and Vitamin D which is important for growth and development. Breakfast drinks, such as Carnation Instant Breakfast, are a great choice and are easy to make. Just open a packet and pour eight ounces of 1% milk into a shaker. Drinking a meal may be even faster than sitting down to a traditional one! Make-Ahead Parfaits. Keep pre-prepared parfaits refrigerated and hand them to your children, as they’re running out the door. All you need is an eight-ounce plastic container with a lid, your child’s favorite yogurt, whole grain cereal, and a handful of berries. Mini Sandwich On the Go. Send your child off with a turkey and cheese sandwich on a whole-wheat mini bagel. After all, kids love anything

Lunchbox Alternatives The kids are back to school and that means packing their lunch boxes. Here are some tips to help children eat healthier during the school day. Transform healthy foods into tasty foods: Sure we want them to eat their banana, but if we add a little peanut butter and a whole-wheat tortilla it might go down a little easier. Peanut Butter & Banana Pinwheels not only taste great but are a complete meal that includes protein, fruit and whole grains.

a typical sandwich into fun shapes and puzzles. These are always a hit with smaller children. Dip or dunk? Kids love to dip their food because it adds excitement to regular items like apples or grapes. A really cool recipe that the kids will love is fruit and cheese kabobs. All you need are small wooden skewers and large chunks of fruit, like grapes, pineapple, or strawberries, and cubes of cheese. These are easy enough for young children to prepare and are perfect to prepare ahead of time so they’re ready to go when you’re packing lunches in the morning. Use their favorite yogurt as a dip, and you’ll have both a fruit serving and dairy serving for the day. Drinking a serving of veggies? Did you know that a ½ cup of basic tomato sauce counts as a full vegetable serving? Consider a warm lunch by heating up last night’s pasta dinner, adding a ½ cup of tomato sauce and a little Parmesan cheese for a delicious home-cooked lunch. Kids need the complex carbohydrate of pasta to provide energy for after-school activities as well as for normal brain function. This meal will stay warm for a few hours in an insulated thermos. Pack what your child likes. There’s really no point in packing a healthy lunch that you know your child won’t eat. Take them to the grocery store, add some new foods to their diet gradually, ask them

to help you prepare the new foods, and make sure you feed them a balanced and varied diet at home. Most children tend to eat healthy foods if offered different foods. After-School Snacks  The kids are back to school, and preparing healthy snacks for after school is essential to their well-being. School lunch can be as early as 10 a.m. or as late as 1 p.m. Depending on your child’s lunch time, he or she could be starving by the time school’s out. For children with after-school activities, this scenario could leave them at the mercy of vending machines. The key here is to maximize nutrition and offer green-light foods to hold them over until the family gets together for dinner. We all know how important fruits and vegetables are – keep them washed and available. Instead of having cookies and chips at children’s fingertips, choose fruits that will retain quality even out of the refrigerator, like grapes, cherry tomatoes, small pears and apples, bananas, and oranges. Even pre-packaged fruit bowls are a good idea. Make a high-energy trail mix. Trail mix will maintain its freshness even with changes in temperature. Remember, you want to maximize nutrition, especially if you have an active child. Granola, nuts and dried fruit will certainly do that. It’s ok to add a few chocolate pieces that will give

this healthy treat the cool edge children are looking for. Small snack bags are the perfect size for trail mix. And can’t do nuts? No problem; sunflower seeds and soy nuts are a great protein alternative! Make-ahead snacks. Pizza English muffins are a classic but a favorite. Make a bunch of these over the weekend, wrap in aluminum foil and freeze. Older children can simply pop these in the toaster oven for a snack that requires very little effort. If they insist on potato chips … switch to light or low-fat popcorn. Popcorn is actually a whole grain and an excellent alternative to fat-filled chips. Make a fun cheese snack. String cheese is another wholesome snack that provides protein, as well as vitamins and minerals, which are important to a growing child. Add a small tortilla and wrap up your string cheese for an easy snack. Final Advice It’s ok to snack! Snacks are a necessity for growing children and can be part of a healthy diet with the right foods. Encourage more fruits and veggies by having them washed and in plain sight so that your children see them when they get home. For children with after-school activities, make sure you pack a nutrient-filled snack to provide enough energy to get them through their activities.

for my Project : Annie book, so I snapped a picture of my outdoor ironing adventure with my iPhone. I used a distressed polka-dot patterned paper (Daisy Paper’s “Butterfly Dot- Multi”) and a dryer sheet for the background. Next, I tore some used Shout Color Catchers to create an embellishment of sorts. In Photoshop, I added a date stamp, an oval, and my journaling in the “white space.” It reads “This is the only way I can make ironing more bearable.” I printed it on my Canon Selphy CP800 photo printer, inked the edges with TPC Studio’s Clearly Better ink in Aqua, and adhered it over my items. It’s not an award-winning page, but it’s an accurate reflection of one of the more tedious parts of my daily existence, one I would never have scrapped if I wasn’t doing my own adaptation of Becky Higgins’ Project

I doubt I’ll ever make a laundry-themed page again, because it represents everything I hate about household chores.

Yet, I could see no other way to destroy this demon of freshlyscented chaos. Indoors or out? There was special equipment involved in the assault. With a board, extension cord, spray bottle, some starch, a mountain of coat hangers and my secret weapon - the steamer - I lured the monster outdoors with promises of actual sunshine freshness, not just the bottled kind.

attributes that Papa’s lays claim to. One customer favorite is the fish dinner. “People will sit and wait on Friday night for a table…we’ve had folks tell us ‘we’ve been going out for 35 years and it’s the best fish we’ve had.’ ” The difference according to Jim, it’s the lighter, thinner beer batter and the creamier coleslaw that accompanies the fish. “The menu is 90% homemade. “My wife is an excellent, excellent cook; she does all the dinner specials, from scalloped potatoes and ham to sweet and sour meatloaf, and all the Italian dishes. We also make our own spaghetti and Alfredo sauce and lasagna.” If you love homemade soups, Papa’s is the place to go as well. Jim makes all the soup including the stuffed pepper and a cream-based dill pickle and potato soups – all customer favorites. Papa’s has special theme nights during the week – Tuesday is pizza and wing night, Wednesday, chicken and biscuits; Thursday, roast turkey; and Friday is fish. Saturday is “cooks choice” and Sunday is the “taste of Italy” family buffet. And for dessert? “Everyone

Lucy Fest 2012

Jazz at Willow Creek

Grape-stomping by day, standing ovations by night Contributed Article Lucy Desi Center for Comedy

For immediate release on Lucille Ball’s birthday of August 6, 2012 – The Lucille Ball Festival of Comedy concluded after five days filled with laughter in the hometown of one of the greatest comedians of all time. People filled the streets and theaters of Jamestown, a city setting out to show itis ready to become the next Cooperstown of Comedy. World-class shows by Billy Gardell, Paula Poundstone, Lucie Arnaz, Tammy Pescatelli, Story Pirates, and Gregg Oppenheimer (among many others) filled the seats of the Reg Lenna Civic Center for performances covered by national media outlets including the New York Times and ABC News 20/20. Tourists from California, Texas, Canada, Manhattan and every place in between grape-stomped and conveyerbelt candy-wrapped alongside locals and live bands at the premiere of the Lucy World Games on City Hall’s Tracy Plaza. Musicians and Lucy fans alike gathered at Friday, August 3rd’s “Opening Ceremonies” to sing the largest community rendition of the I Love Lucy theme song. I Love Lucy impersonators from Universal Studios also helped kick off the celebration that concluded with Journey Gunderson, executive director for the Lucy Desi Center for Comedy, lighting the “Torch of Laughter”. A “Lucy, Ricky, Fred and Ethel” costume contest and an I Love Lucy trivia contest were among some of the events that fans participated in. Perhaps the most poignant moment of the weekend came

at Friday’s cornerstone StandUp Showcase, when Lucie Arnaz announced her endorsement of a national Comedy Hall of Fame and museum to be featured in Jamestown. She stated to a packed theater how her mother wanted her legacy to live on through new comedy, and how laughter is the best healing medicine of all. Camera crews and reporters from national media outlets covered Jamestown throughout the course of the festival. ABC News 20/20, People Magazine, and The New York Times were among a few of the media outlets in attendance. 20/20 will feature Jamestown and Lucy Fest in a September special, hosted by Barbara Walters, titled, “The Greatest Television of All Time.” I Love Lucy has been nominated in the categories for best comedy and best overall show. The New York Times featured Jamestown’s comedy festival in an article and extensive slideshow appearing in the Monday, August 6th (Lucille Ball’s birthday) edition of the Times. For more exclusive photos and videos of the event, visit www. lucy-desi.com. This year’s top headliner was Billy Gardell, from CBS’s hit show Mike & Molly. By curtain, the Pittsburgh native had filled all but a few seats in Jamestown’s 1270-seat Reg Lenna Civic Center Theater, and finished his act to a thunderous, standing ovation that even included audience members delivering gifts to his feet at the stage. Lucie Arnaz made a rare trip to Jamestown to host the Stand-Up Showcase and give her endorsement of creating the first National Comedy

Center and Hall of Fame in Lucille Ball’s hometown. The showcase was headlined by crowd-favorite comic Tammy Pescatelli, winner of Comedy Central’s 2010 Stand-Up Showdown and a finalist on NBC’s Last Comic Standing 2. Tony Deyo and Baron Vaughn also performed, and Lucie Arnaz’s third and closing musical number - backed by an 11-piece band – capped off the evening and drew a standing ovation for a unique show produced for this festival by the Lucy Desi Center for Comedy. Paula Poundstone, one of Comedy Central’s 100 Greatest Comedians of All-Time and panelist on NPR’s Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me headlined the Thursday, August 2nd evening, with hers kicking off what would be a trifecta of standing ovations for evening shows. Kid’s comedy included the critically-acclaimed comedy troupe, Story Pirates, seen on CNN’s Larry King, NBC’s Today, and recently live on stage with Conan O’Brien. This non-profit creative writing organization made up of professional actors and comedians performs a show based on stories written by children. As a special treat, four stories written by local children were selected and performed at the show, with story authors brought on stage by the Story Pirates for a round of applause at the end. More than 50 local children submitted stories for the August 4th matinee. Gregg Oppenheimer, son of I Love Lucy

creator Jess Oppenheimer, returned to Jamestown to direct a Live “Lucy” Radio Show on Saturday, August 4th. This year’s show featured the world premiere of Finding Fred and Ethel, a side-splitting episode of Jess Oppenheimer’s first sitcom Baby Snooks, and another hilarious episode of Lucille Ball’s radio sitcom, My Favorite Husband: Valentine’s Day. Late Night Comedy was held in the Tropicana Room at the Lucy Desi Center on August 3rd and 4thfeaturing comics from New York City, Boston, Cleveland, Jersey City and Buffalo. These rising comedians converged in Jamestown for two nights of new, and specific to this time slot, blue, material. Comedians who performed included Mark Normand, Adam Newman, Kyle Grooms, Harrison Greenbaum, Bethany Van Delft, Mike Brown, Phoebe Robinson, Joe Machi, and Chet Wild. Joe Machi and Harrison Greenbaum, in particular, delivered stand-out, crowd-favorite performances.

When local musician jazz artist Charlie Borzillire, formerly of Big Wheelie and the Hubcaps, lost the use of his right hand as a result of a stroke, he didn’t think he’d be playing his much-loved saxophone again. But with an adapted saxophone that enables him to play all notes using only his left hand, he’ll be joining jazz artists presenting a concert Saturday, Aug. 11, at the Willow Creek Winery in Silver Creek. Borzillire and the New Horizons Jazz Band of Western New York will open the concert at 6 p.m., followed by the Dave Golando Big Band at 8 p.m. Last year, the family of Borzillire, 63, were able to secure funds for the manufacturing of the first-of-its-kind, one-handed tenor saxophone, thanks to support from vocational rehab counselor Paula Knowle and musician Chuck Vicario of Big Wheelie and the Hubcaps.

The adapted saxophone was designed and built by Brian Russell of Russell Winds, Winneconne, Wisconsin. Borzillire will introduce this new instrument at Saturday’s concert, and he, Knowle and Russell will be giving a question and answer session about the saxophone during the event. Two years after his 2004 stroke, Borzillire began playing the sax again as a form of physical therapy and, by 2009, was able to join the jazz ensemble of the New Horizons Band of Western New York, directed at SUNY Fredonia by Professor Kate Levy of the Fredonia School of Music. Borzillire plays regularly with the New Horizons Jazz Band, and the adapted saxophone will also allow him to return to playing with his former band, Big Wheelie and the Hubcaps. Willow Creek Winery is located at 2627 Chapin Road, Silver Creek.

Opera House Cinema Series to Screen “To Rome With Love” Contributed Article Fredonia Opera House

“To Rome With Love,” Woody Allen’s latest comedy, is the next featured film at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House. It will be screened on Sat., Aug. 11, at 8 p.m. and Tues., Aug. 14, at 7:30 p.m. as part of the Opera House Cinema Series. “To Rome With Love” is a kaleidoscopic comedy set in one of the world’s most enchanting cities. The film brings us into contact with a well-known American architect reliving his youth; an average middle-class Roman who suddenly finds himself Rome’s biggest celebrity; a young provincial couple drawn into separate romantic encounters; and an American opera director endeavoring to put a singing mortician on stage. Told in a series of brief vignettes that address the themes of fame and accomplishment, the film stars Allen, Alec Baldwin, Penelope Cruz, Roberto Benigni, Jesse Eisenberg and Ellen Page. David Denby, in the New Yorker, calls the film “light and

fast, with some of the sharpest dialogue and acting that (Allen’s) put on the screen in years.” Richard Roeper calls it “a funny, quirky, frothy diversion.” Claudia Puig, in USA Today, says the film “offer moments of buoyant humor, farcical fun and consistently gorgeous cinematography.” Owen Gleiberman, in Entertainment Weekly, adds “Woody Allen has become such a beguiling travel agent that he rolls through these stories with a relaxed effervescence that is rather infectious.” Rated R for sexual references, “To Rome With Love” runs 112 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, online at www. fredopera.org or by calling the Opera House Box Office at 716-679-1891. The Series continues with Director Wes Anderson’s “Moonrise Kingdom” on Aug. 18 & 21; and the critically acclaimed “Beasts of the Southern Wild” on Sept.

15 & 18. Chautauqua County’s only performing arts center presenting its own programming year-round, the 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a membersupported not-for-profit organization located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia. For a complete schedule of events, visit www.fredopera.org.

Jeff Diers, Chautauqua County Watershed Coordinated, stated that “Chautauqua Lake is listed as an impaired water-body under the Federal Clean Water Act 303 (d) due to excess levels of phosphorous present in the Lake.” As part of the implementation phase of the Chautauqua Lake Watershed Management Plan, Diers stated that “CCSWCD has continued its efforts to reduce non-point source pollution such as sediment and nutrients (including phosphorous), from waterways in Chautauqua County, including Chautauqua Lake.” Agriculture and tourism are two of the largest industries in Chautauqua County and for many recreational areas county wide, the economic health of the communities surrounding the lake and streams depend on the ecological health of the water itself. Anglers and boaters alone spend millions annually enjoying the county’s water resources and the Soil & Water Conservation District along with farmers, landowners and municipalities protect the natural resources that attract them.

Ms. Seaward, who graduated in May with an associate’s degree in media arts, actively promoted American Red Cross blood drives at JCC and is transferring to SUNY Fredonia this fall.

A partnership between the American Red Cross and SUNY was developed more than a decade ago to incentivize an increase in blood donations by students, faculty, and staff across SUNY two- and four-year colleges and universities. Annual awards are given by the American Red Cross to those colleges which give the most and which increase their giving. “I am very proud of the work accomplished by JCC student leaders, campus life directors, and health center personnel to increase blood donations in the 2011-2012 academic year by more than 60%,” said Dr. Goodling. “These efforts allow for our students to gain in leadership skills, accrue needed scholarship dollars, bring positive recognition to the college, and foremost, to save lives.”

Funding for Safe Routes to Schools Federal Program Encourages Kids to Walk and Bike to School Contributed Article Chautauqua County DSS

New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) Commissioner Joan McDonald recently announced that applications are available for $23.9 million in federal Safe Routes to School (SRTS) funding for infrastructure improvements and public education campaigns across the State to encourage elementary and middle school children to safely walk and bike to school. “Providing crosswalks, bike paths, sidewalks and other types of safe accommodations near schools, along with programs to teach pedestrian and bicycle safety, will promote healthy modes of transportation by making it safer for children to walk or bike to school,” Commissioner McDonald said. “This federal funding provides a way for us to invest in our communities and create more sustainable infrastructure that is in harmony with the needs of local families and schools.” Eligible projects must be located within two miles of a primary or middle school, be located on municipal right-ofway, benefit the public interest and address at least one of the five SRTS categories. Categories include engineering (infrastructure) efforts, as well as education, enforcement, encouragement and evaluation

speaker for this graduation ceremony was Rev. Cheni Khonje from Dunkirk First United Presbyterian Church. Khonje related to the class her experience of starting college in rural Nebraska after living in many large urban cities around the world; a reality

many Job Corps students face as they travel from different cities from throughout New York State and arrive in rural Cassadaga. She also encouraged them to continue on their path of education and growth by saying “Commencement is defined in the dictionary as a beginning; don’t let today be the last you open a book, keep reading. Don’t let this be the last day in which you earn a diploma; keep learning to be successful.” Included in the commencement exercise were several awards and scholarships recognizing top performing students from all areas of the Academy. Those recognized for top performance in Career Technical Training were Raday Nunn, Carpentry, Marissa Delcamp of Fredonia, CVS Pharmacy Technician, Xavier Anderson, Certified Nurses’ Aide, David Martin of Casanegra, Painting and Carlos Cepeda, Electrical. Students that are recognized for top performance in trade are provided with a cash scholarship awarded by the Cassadaga Job Corps Community Relations Council.

Audubon Center and Sanctuary

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Audubon’s auditorium will be transformed into a garden of wildflowers with butterflies flying about. Tiny butterfly eggs will be on display along with monarch caterpillars of all sizes. One corner will have volunteers bringing butterflies for people to hold. Another will have people tagging the butterflies with stickers. Monarch enthusiast and Audubon Senior Naturalist Jeff Tome pointed out that, “After we release the butterflies, they will fly to Mexico, where our tags will help scientists track their migration. Offering Mexican food to Festival guests will remind them of where these beautiful creatures are heading.” The butterfly release will close the Festival at 4 p.m. Another new feature at this year’s Festival will be photo opportunities with human-

sized cutouts of a monarch butterfly and a caterpillar. An adult can stand behind the butterfly and their head will be the monarch’s head. Children can stick their heads through the caterpillar’s to have their pictures taken as a caterpillar. There will also be butterfly crafts for kids, butterfly related items – including monarch t-shirts -- featured in the Nature Store, tours of Audubon’s butterfly garden, and a plant sale aimed at getting more milkweed, the only food of monarch caterpillars, into the community. Inside, volunteers will help children and adults hold caterpillars and butterflies. Outside, they will show how to use insect nets to catch, identify and release butterflies on Audubon’s grounds. Monarch butterfly expert Barbara Case, known fondly at Audubon as “Monarch Mama,”

plays a key role in the festival by collecting and raising scores of monarch eggs and caterpillars all summer. She and others will answer questions about raising and tagging monarchs, growing milkweed, planting a butterfly garden, and establishing a monarch way station to help these beautiful travelers. Admission is $5 for Audubon members, $7 for non-members, two and under free. The Audubon Center and Sanctuary is at 1600 Riverside Road, off Route 62 between Jamestown and Warren. The Center’s building, with a nature store and exhibits of live fish, reptiles, amphibians and more, is open MondaySaturday 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Sundays 1 to 4:30 p.m. Its five miles of trails, Bald Eagle viewing, arboretum, and gardens are open dawn to dusk every day.

My mom is 85, and she rides in the car with me, so she’ll see the signs often,” said Ms. Murray.

SUNY Fredonia To Partner With UB TCIE For Business Education Programs Contributed Article SUNY Fredonia

Chautauqua County business professionals will have easier access to business improvement education through the University at Buffalo’s TCIE (formerly The Center for Industrial Effectiveness) fall 2012 lineup when two programs are offered at the SUNY Fredonia Technology Incubator as part of a new partnership. The incubator, at 214 Central Ave., Dunkirk, will host the Certified Lean Professional (CLP) course and the threeday ISO 9001:2008 Internal Auditor training. Both are open to individuals from all companies, whether affiliated with the incubator or not. The 39-hour CLP course introduces participants to the Lean methodology of saving money and reducing waste by identifying unnecessary processes.

During the internal auditor training course, participants learn about the ISO 9001:2008 standard, audit activities and techniques, objective evidence to gather, and expectations of third-party external auditors in determining compliance, in the quest to understand how to assess their organizations’ quality performance. “We have a group of entrepreneurs and small business operators, and a core of large businesses, that have not been able to avail themselves of this type of education and training locally,” said Incubator Director Robert Fritzinger, referring to Chautauqua County. “With the incubator being the flagship economic development project of SUNY Fredonia, this is an important outreach business activity for us.” The incubator, which opened in late 2009, currently provides business development, mentoring and office space to 17 start-up technology

companies, with the capacity to serve 31. Fritzinger explained that as startups begin to transition out of the building, it is important to align them with resources that spur growth. He plans to build upon SUNY Fredonia’s relationship with UB TCIE, which connects the business community with resources of UB’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, through future programming. The CLP runs from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Wednesdays, Oct. 3 to 17, Oct. 31, Nov. 7 and 14, Nov. 28 to Dec. 19, Jan. 16 and Feb. 13; as well as Friday, Oct. 26. Registrations will be accepted until Sept. 19. The ISO training is scheduled for 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 23 to 25, with registration until Oct. 9. Registration can be found at www.tcie.buffalo.edu/clp-fredonia/ and www.tcie.buffalo. edu/iso-fredonia/, respectively. To learn more, contact Kerry Lynch at (716) 645-8840 or klynch4@buffalo.edu.

Q&A

Behavior changes may mean illness Q: I think I would know a veterinary emergency, but what I’m worried about is missing a problem that needs to be caught early. Can you suggest some signs? — via Facebook A: You must be aware not only of your pet’s physical condition (and changes in that condition), but also of his behavior. Many times, behavioral changes are later confirmed as illnesses through the use of such diagnostic tools as blood or urine tests. Always be aware of the subtle changes in your pet’s behavior, especially regarding the following areas: • Changes in eating habits, especially loss of appetite. Be aware of how much and how eagerly your pet eats, and make a mental note of any changes. The ability to keep an eye on feeding behavior is one of the best arguments against keeping food available at all times. • Changes in activity level: If a pet who’s always ready to run is suddenly not interested in playing, the lethargy may be cause for concern. • Changes in drinking habits: Pets drink more in the summer than in the winter, but even taking that into consideration, you look for variations in your pet’s drinking habits. Get an idea of what’s a normal amount of water consumed, and be aware of changes. You don’t need to measure by the ounce: Just keep an eye on how often you’re refilling that water bowl. • Changes in voice: Does your dog’s bark or cat’s meow sound different? Is his pattern of vocalizing changing? If you think you have an “ain’t doing right” pet, a visit to your veterinarian is in order if the issue doesn’t resolve itself in a few days — even if there’s no overt physical sign of illness that you can see. — Dr. Marty Becker Do you have a pet question?

Humane Society Receives Forty Six Cats from County Residence Contributed Article CCHS

The Chautauqua County Humane Society (CCHS) currently has 46 more cats under its care after a Chautauqua County resident surrendered the cats to the shelter. The owner admitted to being overwhelmed by the situation as there were more than 100 cats in the location. The cats were receiving regular basic care

and relative to the numbers, are in good condition. CCHS has determined the cats are in good health and are receiving vaccinations, microchips, tests and spay/neuter procedures in preparation for adoption options. CCHS is processing as many cats as the organization’s space and budget can currently handle. CCHS will continue to work with the resident until the number of cats in this location is more reasonable

and manageable. According to Jeff Lubi, executive director, “CCHS came to the aid of the owner in an effort to be proactive. Many of the cats were not spayed/neutered and would have doubled and tripled in numbers very, very quickly. We responded promptly in order to keep this from turning into something much harder to treat. Large cases such as this consistently put a strain on the shelter’s resources and help from the com-

munity is always greatly appreciated.” The Chautauqua County Humane Society is a non-profit that is not part of any government organization and its mission to care for animals by promoting adoptions, preventing cruelty and providing education relies solely on public support.

In an incredibly illustrious career, Suhr put the final cap on it with Olympic gold on Monday by defeating Yarisley Silva of Cuba. (AP Photo)

By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

Four years of waiting for another chance all came down to standing and watching, just like the rest of us. Yes, for a brief moment Monday afternoon, time stood still for Jenn Suhr. Soon after the Fredonia native failed on her last attempt at clearing 4.80 meters, Cuba’s Yarisley Silva was next in line with one jump to

solve everything. If Silva were to clear 4.80, she was taking home the gold, leaving a disappointing silver for Suhr. If she didn’t clear, Suhr would be the one taking home gold. But regardless of the jump, it was well known to be the last of the 2012 women’s pole vault. So you can understand Suhr’s emotions when Silva nicked the bar, clinching an Olympic gold medal, and thus adding one more crucial

piece to her dazzling résumé. Suhr, who took silver in the 2008 Olympics, redeemed herself Monday night by winning with a jump of 4.75 meters. Silva also cleared 4.75, but needed to clear 4.80 to defeat Suhr because she had more misses. Thus, when Silva’s final jump came up short, Suhr was officially crowned. Interesting in the fact that Suhr’s winning number this year was actually lower than that of her silver

score in 2008. Part of that day probably had to do with the swirling winds of London, which offered less than ideal jumping situations. But whatever it was, only Suhr, Silva and two-time defending Olympic champion and de facto archrival Yelena Isinbayeva could clear 4.70 meters. Isinbayeva, a Russian who is practically the Babe Ruth of women’s pole vault, settled for bronze. It was Continued on pg 8

Year-Long Celebration Of Hugh Bedient Continued With Night At The Park By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

Again honoring the great Hugh Bedient, the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame teamed up with a few local businesses to host Hugh Bedient Night at Diethrick Park last Thursday night. Bedient, a native of Falconer, has been honored year-long to commemorate his 1912 season with the Boston Red Sox — his first in major league career.

“It will be a real fun night” said Randy Anderson. Thursday night, the Jammers hosted the Boston Red Sox farmhand, the Lowell Spinners, and Bedient’s grandsons were on hand to throw out the first pitch. It was Tom Ames, throwing a bullet to fellow grandson Hugh Imus. The pregame festivities also included baseball historian Greg Peterson

talking on behalf of the event. It was the second event for Bedient, who 100 years ago was a 20-game winner for the Red Sox, and also won a game in the World Series helping the Red Sox claim the title. Bedient spent three years with Boston and won 43 games before joining the Buffalo Blues of the short lived Federal League.

INSIDE THIS WEEK More Suhr... See B-2, B-3 & B-8

The first event was in Falconer back in May, with an all day celebration along with the help of Falconer central school district. The final event, which Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame president Randy Anderson talked a little bit about on Thursday, will be an event on Oct. 20 to honor Bedient as the unofficial 1912 American

League Rookie of the Year. Bedient went 20-9 with a 2.92 ERA and was later unofficially awarded the rookie of the year by the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR). “We’ll bring in the family again and give them a commemorative bat with an engraving,” Anderson said. “It will be a real fun night, but we’re still working on finalizing some details to make it the best that we can.” On the field, the Jammers probably could have used the old Hugh. Jamestown lost 4-2 despite pounding out 10 hits. But the night was for Bedient much more than it was for the Jammers. The announced attendance of 1,448 came out to the park to recognize a pitching legend from this area. Along with a great turnout for the first event this year, you could add Thursday night to another great success for the honoring of Bedient. In addition to the game being open to the public, all fans received a 4x6 Continued on pg 5

Suhr Brings Home Pole Vault Gold Contributed Article Associated Press

LONDON (AP) — For the first time before a big meet, Jenn Suhr heard a positive message from her husband, Rick, who's also her coach. While sending Jenn onto the field for the Olympic pole vault final Monday night, Rick told her nobody's unbeatable — not even Russian superstar Yelena Isinbayeva, the two-time champion and world-record holder. And so, Suhr went out and proved him right, defeating Isinbayeva, capturing the gold and giving a nice boost to the United States track and field team, which hasn't been getting many breaks so far at the London Olympics. ''Before I went out here, he said, `You're going to win this,''' Suhr said. ''I've competed 100 times and that's not something he says. It puts that extra spunk that I could do this. Someone else believes in me that much.'' When it was over, Suhr rushed over to the stands to see her husband, who gingerly wrapped an American flag around her shoulders while she sobbed into his chest. A quite different scene from four years ago in Beijing, when Rick was caught on camera berating Suhr after her disappointing runner-up finish to Isinbayeva. Few knew at the time that they were romantically involved and would be married two years later. Yes, they've come a long way together. From training in a pair of Quonset huts that Rick connected together to form a jumping pit — the blue-collar practice area in western New York they call ''Rocky's Meat Cooler'' — to winning an Olympic gold medal on the sport's grandest stage. Suhr vaulted 15 feet, 7 inches (4.75 meters) to defeat Cuba's Yarisley Silva, who cleared the same height but lost on a tiebreaker because she had one more miss in the competiContinued on pg 2

CANTON, Ohio — Jack Butler, Class of 1951, took the final step into his Hall of Fame membership Saturday evening as the former St. Bonaventure and Pittsburgh Steelers legend was officially enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. “This induction is the highest honor I have achieved in my professional career,” Butler said during his Enshrinement speech. “I was born with the talent to play football, had the motivation to become the best player I could and was fortunate to play in the great city of champions, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.” A wide receiver at St. Bonaventure turned defensive back with the Steelers, Butler revolutionized the defensive side of the ball and paved the way for the current cornerback position. When he retired in 1959, Butler ranked second on the NFL’s all-time interceptions list with 52. Butler was presented with his Bronze Bust from his oldest son, John, the second of his

three symbols of the Hall of Fame. The first was the Gold Jacket given to him last night, and the third will be a ring awarded during a Steelers home game this season. “I have to give special thanks to my parents, my four brothers, my two sisters and wife, Bernadette,” Butler commented. “I’d also like to acknowledge our four sons and our four daughters, and our 15 grandchildren. “It is important to acknowledge the Rooney and McGinley families,” Butler continued. “They have impacted my life

and the lives of my entire family tremendously.” Butler was a four-time Pro Bowler — all in consecutive years at the end of his career from 1956-59 where he accumulated 27 interceptions — but was not named to the team in his first five years despite picking off 23 passes in his first four seasons in the league. Additionally, 457 of Butler’s 827 career interception return yards (55.2 percent) came in his first three seasons. In an era when teams only played 12 games a season,

Butler’s 52 interceptions came over a span of just 103 games. To this day, his four interceptions in a single game against the Washington Redskins in 1953 remain tied for an NFL record, and are the most in a contest in Steelers history. After thanking many family and friends, the 84-year-old Butler concluded his nearly four-minute speech by saying, “Heck, I’m thankful I’m here.” Butler was the second of the six-member class enshrined at Fawcett Stadium, located directly across the street from the Hall of Fame. He is scheduled to take place in an on-field ceremony prior to Sunday’s Hall of Fame Game between the New Orleans Saints and Arizona Cardinals. The Pittsburgh native was inducted into the Hall back in February as a Senior Nominee when the Seniors Committee voted him in. The purpose of the Seniors Committee, made up of nine veteran members of the overall Hall of Fame Board of Selectors, is to consider and ultimately vote on players whose active careers have been completed 25 years of more from the current NFL season.

New York Cowboys Highlight Team Roping As Rodeo Comes To End By Paul Cooley Contributing Writer

The final night of competition in the Gerry Fire Department’s 68th annual PRCA provided the capacity crowd with some of the best efforts of the week with more than 70 pro cowboys and cowgirls doing their best to in the closing performance to win a share of the $35,000 prize money as champions were crowned in the seven traditional rodeo events. Some of the best action came in the team roping as two New York cowboys, Eric Fabian from Schenectady and his partner Derek Carey from Mechanicville posted the fastest time seen in years in this rodeo, tying their steer in an amazing 3.9 seconds. They failed to tie their second steer, allowing two other New York ropers, Darren Morgan, Fort Edward, and Shawn Quinn, Schuylerville, to jump into first place, posting times of 6.6 and 6.5 for a combined 13.1 seconds total. The steer wrestling saw four times of less than six seconds,

the fastest by Lee Ellsworth, Hudson Falls, N.Y., at 4.4 seconds, followed by a 5.5 throw on his second steer, leaving him at 9.9 seconds, just onetenth of a second behind the winning time of Chad Stoltfus from Rising Sun, Md., posted on opening night. In the tie down roping a Michigan cowboy, Cody McCartney tied his two calves on Wednesday in one of the fastest times ever here with a combined total of 15.8 seconds to hold on to first place as no other cowboy was able to even come close to his mark. 19 year old Taylor Young from Carlisle, Pa., took over first place in the barrel racing on Thursday night and saw her time of 15.57 seconds hold up until this final performance when Nickie Stoltfus of McClure, Pa., moved her into second place, circling the barrels in 15.30 seconds and winning the event by less than three-tenths of a second. A Tennessee cowboy, Tyler Waltz, had the best combined times for the week in his two rides in the bareback competition, scoring 156 total points on opening night. No one else

was able to ride two broncs successfully until the closing performance when a young cowboy from Lake Lucerne, NY, Josh Butler scored 55 and 68 points for a 123 total, leaving him far short of Waltz’s winning score. Jacobs Crowley, who hails from College Station, Tex., scored 155 Friday night on his two horses in the saddle bronc event only to see a former national champion, JT Hitch, Stilesville, Ind., post the top ride of the week with 80 points and follow that with a 75 to tie Crawley for the title. The Painted Pony bulls refused to let up on closing night, throwing all of the cowboys to the arena dirt with no qualified rides. Of the 38 bulls which came out of the chutes during the week, there were only three cowboys who stayed on their bulls for the required eight seconds. Chris Prange, Cochranville, Pa., and Scott Sellers, Townsend, Del., tied for first with identical scores of 80 points. Again the fans were entertained by the comedy of Mike “Scooter” Smith as well as

the performance of his pet llama Chili and the outstanding announcing job of Greg Simas who kept the fans well informed of the activities in the arena. The special appearance of trick rider Gena Cox gave the fans a scare as she slipped from her horse but got up and completed her act. The patriotic opening honored the United States military members as well as the firemen, policemen, and medics in attendance as announcer Simas called the “true heroes”. The singing of the National Anthem by 6 year old Gabby Graham got the biggest ovation of the night. The only remaining charter member of the Gerry Fire Department, Ward Tolman, returned from Florida and was honored. This rodeo is now the longest consecutively running rodeo east of the Mississippi and all funds raised go to the support of the Gerry Volunteer Fire Department. Rodeo chairman Tom Atwell says that the rodeo was very successful and well received by the fans. He is especially grateful for the excellent weather and the support of the area’s rodeo fans.

pet was the relationship that developed as he became more to her than a coach. ''If he could get out there and try to push me over the bar, he would,'' Suhr said. ''He's done so much for me. He cares so much. People are like, `Your coach is intense.' It's because he has that passion and knows how much I want it. It's two people with that kind of passion and drive.'' Maybe their practice facility tells their story best - a cold, unforgiving, shell of a place that hardly looks like the training center for an Olympic champion.

''It's uphill, a slanted box, a lot of messed-up stuff,'' Suhr said. As time has passed, Rick Suhr has had to keep expanding it. Upward. Because his wife's jumps threaten to scrape the roof. And yet, rough as those conditions can be, Rick Suhr said it was worse at the stadium in London, where the pole vaulters were met with drizzle, rain, shifting winds. Before all of Suhr's jumps, she would look to the stands where her husband would be holding his arms straight out in one direction or the other, signaling Jenn to make certain pole adjustments depending on the wind. ''You can see the way it goes back and forth,'' Suhr said of the constant conversation she carries on with her husband during a meet. ''We're talking. We're emotional. It's something we put our hearts into, and blood, sweat and tears. ''It's two people,'' she said, ''working toward one goal.''

SUHR DEFEATS VAUNTED ISINBAYEVA continued from pg 1 tion. More significantly, Suhr beat Isinbayeva, who failed to become the first woman to win the same individual track and field event at three consecutive Olympics. Isinbayeva settled for bronze with a vault of 15-5 (4.70). ''Of course I'm not a fairy tale,'' she said. Though Isinbayeva has struggled since her last Olympic gold, Rick Suhr wouldn't listen to any of that. Like so many in their pole vaulting world, the Suhrs have long considered Isinbayeva the gold standard. After his wife finally beat the Russian, Rick compared Jenn to wrestler Rulon Gardner — who beat the undefeated Alexander Karelin in 2000 — and himself to Herb Brooks, who coached the 1980 Olympic hockey team to its shocking win over the Russians and eventual gold. ''It's such a big upset, I don't think people realize how big it actually is,'' Rick Suhr said.

And yet, for the U.S. track team, it only moves the scoreboard up by one notch. Suhr's was a surprise gold for the Americans on a night when they couldn't catch a break anywhere else. Two-time Olympic gold medalist Angelo Taylor staggered to the finish in the men's 400-meter hurdles for fifth place in a race won by 34-year-old Felix Sanchez of the Dominican Republic. Sanchez finished in 47.63 to beat American Michael Tinsley to the line, as the United States took only one medal in an event where it captured all three in Beijing. ''It's a new day, it's a new era,''

said the 33-year-old Taylor. ''Things change. People evolve. People show up.'' Americans Allyson Felix and Carmelita Jeter, Jamaican 100-meter gold medalist Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and 400-meter winner Sanya Richards-Ross of the U.S. also made it through. RichardsRoss had the best time of the bunch at 22.48 seconds after a restless four or five hours of sleep the night before with her new gold medal. ''I just feel lighter and free and so I'm just going to go out there and give it my best and hopefully make it through the semifinals as well,'' she said.

While Richards-Ross was expected to win in the 400, Suhr wasn't really the favorite. She's been through a lot the last four years namely, an Achilles injury, a gluten allergy that has caused sometime-debilitating sickness and, of course, the always-hovering presence of Isinbayeva, who despite her recent struggles still has a lot of her competition cowed before they ever step into the stadium. It felt that way for Suhr — then Jenn Stuczynski — in Beijing, where the cameras caught Rick berating her minutes after she finished second. Lost in that snip-

on winning. Look it’s not a bad thing, but that’s what separates Olympics from normal sporting events. Hey, we’re all glad Suhr won gold, but it’s pretty cool that we can celebrate her achievements — and that’s the thing, I’m not just talking about her winning. Getting to the Olympics is such an achievement in itself. It was fascinating to see the town of Fredonia rally around an athlete like a professional sports team well before the games and her event even started. You rooted for her to win, but did so because of the hometown feel. Maybe you knew her or knew of her. Or, you’re familiar with her family. Maybe you just feel the local pride of her being from your hometown. Even me, without a previous connection to Fredonia, was glued rooting for a person I had never met largely because of all the great people in this area that I have been fortunate to meet. But what would have been different had she not won? Hopefully nothing. Because while gold is what will be remembered forever for these 2012 Olympics in this town, I’ll remember the entire buildup of having a local athlete in the games. And that’s just the best part. These games gave Fredonia and western New York a chance to be in the national spotlight. Even Buffalo and Rochester, relatively small cities in the grand scheme of things, sent writers to London to cover Suhr. She’s not the only example, but it’s the most meaningful one in this case. I’m always proud to be able to have this job, but it was even better to closely follow an Olympian’s chase throughout the entire year. And I’m sure that feeling resonated better with those of you who have been around much, much longer than me. Regardless, it got me into the Olympic mood again. I finished off the women’s soccer game. Moved on to the men’s basketball game. Men’s and women’s volleyball in the coming days. More track and field events with some of those athletes who are representing their small towns like Suhr. Every sports fan sort of has their own distinct memory of a long tournament like the Olympics. Something small like the Vince Carter dunk in 2000 — have I told you how much I like basketball? Ryan Miller stealing the show in 2010. Even gymnast Shawn Johnson in 2008. For others, Mary Lou Retton in the all-around in 1984 probably. The men’s ice hockey team in 1980. The black panther salute in 1968. But while I was busy missing this year’s games, so too was my lasting memory. Not anymore. And I have Suhr to thank for that.

Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame

Before there was Jenn Suhr, there was Jimmy Clark and John Eke. Clark, a Jamestown resident, earned a spot on the 1936 United States Olympic boxing team as a middleweight by scoring five knockouts in the national trials tournament. At the Berlin Olympics, Clark lost a controversial decision on points in the quarterfinals to Polish boxer Henryk Chmielewski. U.S. officials and media both cried foul about the loss by Clark, a black fighter, during a time when Adolph Hitler was expounding on his theory of Aryan supremacy. "A complete jobbing by boxing officials", a Detroit newspaper wrote. Clark, like Suhr, is a CSHOF inductee. Eke, a distance runner, was a Swedish immigrant working at Art Metal in Jamestown in 1912. Being a subject of King Gustaf and not an American citizen, Eke competed for Sweden in the 1912 Stockholm Games in cross country. He earned a bronze medal in the 8,000-meter cross country run. A team cross-country title was determined by using the scores of the top three finishers from each team competing in the individual cross-country event. Eke’s third place finish combined with teammates’ results of second and fifth, gave Sweden the top score and John Eke a gold medal.

He was feted by Jamestown mayor Samuel Carlson with a gala reception at City Hall upon his return.

Inductee of the Month: Jack Lawrence Jack Lawrence has spent all of his life in Chautauqua County, but his name is well known around the country as a top racecar driver. Lawrence started racing in 1957 with a MGTF 1500 and his first competition race was at the Lake Erie Invitational Race at Dunkirk Airport. Then he became more involved in Sports Car Club of America sanctioned races and remained active for decades. By the time of his induction into the CSHOF he had been involved in over 150 events and earned regional driver of the year awards several times. In 1981 he was awarded the Northeast Division Mark Donahue Sportsmanship Award, which is given to the driver who has over the years contributed to the sport and assisted his fellow competitors. Lawrence was the Northeast Division Champion in 1982, 1983 and 1984 and has participated in six National Championship runoffs. He placed first in 1983, thus earning the title of National Champion. He was the runner-up in 1982. His 1983 national title earned Lawrence a lot of print in racing publications and he was also mentioned in a Swedish book on the history of the

Saab Sonnet. On the volunteer level, Lawrence was chief driving instructor at Nelson Ledges in Warren, Ohio; a driving school sponsored by the Western New York Region of SCCA. He also served as a driving instructor at Watkins Glen. Jack Lawrence was inducted into the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame in 1987.

the reconfigured offense under O'Brien, the former New England Patriots offensive coordinator. Fittingly, Belton has switched his jersey this year from No. 5 to No. 1. Justin Brown was the latest player and second offensive starter, after Redd, to leave after the receiver was dropped from the roster Sunday. Brown, who would have been quarterback Matt McGloin's top receiving option, was also the first senior to leave the team following the sanctions. Redd is going to Southern California. Punter-kicker Anthony Fera, one of the top specialists in the Big Ten, was also a key loss after he announced last week that he was headed to Texas. Still, O'Brien has managed

to hang on to the majority of his core players, especially on defense. As of the first practice, the roster stood at 109 players including walk-ons, or 92 percent of the roster as of July 23, when sanctions were announced. ''I'm very confident that the guys out here today are committed,'' O'Brien said. ''Again, it's day to day, but I'm confident in these guys. ... They got up at 5:15 a.m. to practice.'' According to the NCAA exception, players have all season to transfer, but lose immediate eligibility with their new teams if they play a game with Penn State. This wasn't the kind of makeover that O'Brien expected when he replaced the fired Joe Paterno in January. But

the NCAA took unprecedented action after accepting the findings of the school's internal investigation into the scandal. O'Brien stressed repeatedly during his 10-minute session with reporters after morning workouts that the team understands why ''we're in the position that we're in.'' ''We've got to understand our responsibility to the community, to children, to child abuse organizations. That's No. 1. These kids understand we're going to talk about that quite a bit. We're going to show what we mean by that,'' he said. ''At the same time ... they're hard-working, good kids. They're going to class and I'm proud to be their head coach.'' O'Brien also hasn't yet decided if there will be any changes to Penn State's blue and white uniforms, including the possibility of putting names on the backs of jerseys. The team's basic style makes for one of the most recognizable looks in sports. One of the nine players who departed, backup quarterback Rob Bolden, was granted permission to speak to other schools before the penalties were announced July 23. Bolden, who fell out of favor with two coaching staffs, has since landed at LSU.

ing. Several reporters scattered as the players jumped on each other and wrestled a few feet in front of a barricade where fans sit. Coach Rex Ryan, along with several players, including Tim Tebow, ran over to break up the melee by pulling players off the pile. “I felt like I could hardly breathe,” said Lynn, an undrafted free agent from Penn State. “Everyone was on top of me, so I had to get out of there.” Meanwhile, several other players jokingly acted as if

they were taking swings at each other. McKnight said Ryan told him: “Keep playing hard.” It all lasted about a minute, and the Jets (No. 17 in the AP Pro32) went back to team drills as if nothing happened — with none of the players suffering any apparent injuries. “Sometimes, offense and defense, you're out there competing and sometimes fights happen,” Lynn said. “It's nothing personal.” The two said they would talk

Preseason Begins: Saints Defeat Cardinals Contributed Article Associated Press

CANTON, Ohio (AP) — Tour the Pro Football Hall of Fame and see all the bronze busts. Cheer tackle Willie Roaf's induction. Watch Drew Brees produce a touchdown on his only try. Pretty good weekend for the New Orleans Saints. And boy, did they need it. Brees didn't need much time to top off a good visit, smoothly leading a touchdown drive in his only series Sunday night during a 17-10 victory over Arizona in the Hall of Fame game. ''Just to be up here and see all those guys get inducted and take a tour of the Hall of Fame, that was really special,'' said Mark Ingram, who scored the first touchdown on a 1-yard run. ''For us to all be here, it puts a lot of things into perspective going into

this football season.'' The game was canceled last year for the first time in 45 years, a casualty of the NFL's lockout of the players. Labor issues also came into play in Sunday night's game - the seven officials were replacements. It showed. The referee announced the result of the coin flip incorrectly - Craig Ochoa said the Saints won the toss and deferred, then caught his mistake and said the Cardinals had won the toss. There were some other communication problems as well for the first-time crew. The win completed a good trip for the Saints (No. 9 in the AP Pro32), who needed a few smiles after their offseason dominated by their bounty scandal. Suspended coach Sean Payton got the league's permission to attend a dinner for Roaf and the other five

any contact with the team this season as punishment for the team's bounty program. Players got to tour the hall and sat in the back three rows of the stadium for Roaf 's induction on Saturday, wearing black t-shirts with his No. 77. It was a proud moment for a franchise that's been overshadowed by the bounty scandal all offseason. ''The induction was great,'' interim coach Joe Vitt said. ''Our young players went through the Hall of Fame yesterday and saw a lot of history of the NFL and really took it in. From that standpoint, it was a great weekend.'' Don't forget that opening drive. Brees was sharp on the 10-play drive, completing 4 of 5 passes for 41 yards with one off-target throw. Brees skipped offseason workouts and minicamp because he was unhappy getting the team's franchise tag. He later agreed to a five-year, $100 mil-

to each other, and things would be smoothed over. “We're not trying to hurt each other,” Lynn said. “I doubt he was trying to hurt me and I wasn't trying to hurt him. It just kind of escalated for a minute. It was more wrestling than anything.” Lynn did see the irony in the fact that he was fighting with a guy who's coached by his father. “Yeah,” D'Anton Lynn said with a smile. “He was probably rooting for Joe.” McKnight said he didn't even realize who he was going up against until his teammates told him. “It was something that just happened spur of the moment,” McKnight said. “I'm over it now. We're teammates. I love him, just like I love his Dad. So, we're moving on.” Quarterback Mark Sanchez said he was watching the fight from “an advantageous position” and wasn't happy about the scuffle. “There's no excuse for it,” Sanchez said. “There's no throwing a ball at a teammate. There's no shoving a guy out of bounds into the signs. One, it doesn't look good, and two, Continued on pg 10

lion deal. Nothing has changed. ''Drew was Drew,'' Vitt said. ''That's the first unit. There's high standards here.'' The Cardinals (No. 23) are using the preseason to pick a quarterback, with Kevin Kolb and John Skelton competing for the starting job. Kolb got to start the game but had a tough time, throwing an interception on his first pass and leaving after bruising his ribs on the third series. ''He has a bruise in his chest and that makes it kind of tough to rotate, move,'' coach Ken Whisenhunt said. ''I think he'll probably be practicing sometime this week.'' Skelton took over and completed 4 of 6 for 32 yards. ''You never want to have an injury in the preseason, especially an early game Continued on pg 10

hitters for the club all year long. The rest of the wildly inconsistent offense went back down in a slump since mid-July when Jamestown surged over .500 at 18-17. Since Jamestown scored 28 runs in a doubleheader sweep of Auburn, they’ve scored 35 runs. But outside of a 12-run barrage over Connecticut in a win last week, Jamestown has scored just 23 runs in 11 games and gone 1-10 in those contests. Part of the problem has been the catcher position. Jamestown backstops are batting a

combined .152 with two homers and 12 RBI in 178 at bats. Sharif Othman has shown to be a tad bit better defensively than Jose Behar and has won the job for now, but his bat hasn’t done much since becoming the primary catcher. Rony Peralta, Pedro Mendoza and Yeison Hernandez continue to struggle as well. On top of a team-high 11 errors, Hernandez is hitting .160 since being called back down from Single-A Greensboro. Although the 20-year-old shortstop shows some potential, his year just hasn’t taken off as much as the Miami Marlins probably wanted considering he started off in Jupiter. Peralta and Mendoza, both in their second consecutive year in Jamestown have struggled as well. Peralta is down to .183 and is struggling to crack the lineup since August started. Mendoza has done a magnificent job defensively at third, but is hitting just .247 and rarely walks or hits for power. In 95 plate appearances, he’s walked just twice and has yet to homer in four professional seasons. In the outfield, Kentrell Dewitt and Cameron Flynn have also fallen into slumps with Dewitt falling under .200 and Flynn back down to .215. Jamestown hits the all-star break next week, the de facto three-quarter point of the season. The game is next Tuesday before Jamestown starts a 22-games-in-22-days stretch to finish off the year. All-star rosters can be found online at MiLB. com later in the week.

Tire tests begin for 2013 cars The 2013 model cars that will be run on the Sprint Cup Series next year will begin on-track tire tests August 7-8 at Martinsville Speedway. The cars also will be tested Oct. 4 at Talladega Superspeedway, Oct. 9-10 at Texas Motor Speedway and Oct. 18 at Kansas Speedway. Martinsville Speedway will open its grandstands free of charge, but there apparently will be no representative from Dodge, which has yet to reveal any plans for next season. Jeff Gordon told reporters at Pocono Raceway that he’s interested in learning more from the testing, especially where it concerns plans to take some weight off the cars. “I did not know about them trying to take weight out,” he said. “I have to do a little investigating myself and talk to some of the engineers to see what exactly they are doing there, because if I had to guess, they are not doing near enough, but anything is a gain.” He said that’s an area that should have been looked at long ago. “It’s always been known since the first [Car of Tomorrow] that Goodyear has really struggled trying to build a proper tire for this car, because it has a high [center of gravity] and there’s a lot of weight on the right side and not near enough on the left side,” he said. “So, it just really puts a lot of stress on the right side tires, especially the right front. “Directionally, it’s the right thing to be doing, but until I know a little bit more about exactly what they are doing, I don’t really want to comment on the details of it.”

Gordon breaks records with overdue win in Pocono race

eff Gordon’s drought-breaking 86th career Sprint Cup victory likely will be remembered as a bittersweet one for the veteran driver. The same rainstorms that played into Gordon’s victory at Pocono Raceway also brought lightning that killed one fan and injured nine more, one of whom was in critical condition on Monday. Gordon lined up sixth for what turned out to be the race’s final restart, but surged into the lead when the front two cars of Jimmie Johnson and Matt Kenseth collided on the start. Before racing could resume, storms hit the track, and the race was called after 98 of 160 laps. “It’s nice to know that things can still go our way,” Gordon said. “The way our year has gone, we’ll definitely take it like this. With all the things that have gone wrong for us this year, I’m hoping that this is the one that makes up for it all.” When he was told of the situation with the fans, Gordon acknowledged the impact on his victory, one that put him in great position to claim one of the two wild card slots for the Chase for the Sprint Cup. “That’s the thing that’s going to take away from the victory, is the fact that somebody was affected by that,” he said. “I mean, the fans here are so loyal and avid … so you hate

to hear something like that.” Gordon’s victory was record-setting on two fronts. He now has six at Pocono, the most of any driver, and his 86 Cup wins give him undisputed possession of third place on the alltime list. Although NASCAR’s official records say otherwise, Bobby Allison and most of the sport’s historians say he has 85. And this win didn’t come out of the blue. Gordon had a strong enough car at Pocono to drive to the front from his 27th starting position, and he’s been competitive in recent weeks. “All I will say is we’ve been on a nice streak of finishes,” he said. “Even though they haven’t been wins, they’ve been really solid finishes, top 5s, top 10s, that have gotten us further up in the points. That is something to build on, ’cause this year, the way things have gone, we haven’t had a lot to build on. “The last several weeks, we’ve had something to build on.” Two of Gordon’s Hendrick Motorsports teammates escaped Pocono in better points positions than they might have had. Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished 32nd after breaking a transmission, but retained the series points lead. And Kasey Kahne finished second on a flat tire to maintain his position as the top-seeded wild card contender.

Biddle Ridley, dead at 72 Long before Bill Elliott ever thought about driving a race car, his family’s No. 9 Ford was winning races on the short tracks of the Southeast with Biddle Ridley doing the driving. Ridley, the brother of former Sprint Cup Rookie of the Year Jody Ridley, died July 30 at age 72 after a battle with cancer. “I loved him to death,” Elliott said of Biddle Ridley, a resident of Chatsworth, Ga. “He and Jody about raised me. We raced together, stayed together and traveled a lot together.” Elliott said Biddle Ridley, who put his own driving aside to work on his brother’s cars, was an outstanding driver in his own right. “He was a great driver,” Elliott said. “He won a ton of races.” The Ridleys also played roles in getting Elliott’s driving career started. “They did a lot for me early on,” he said. “I very much enjoyed working with them. They were determined to do well.”

Townley puts off Cup debut After brushing the wall getting up to speed on his first lap of practice at Pocono Raceway, John Wes Townley opted to postpone his Sprint Cup debut. Jason White took over Frank Stoddard’s No. 32 Ford and posted a 31st-place finish. Townley ran the Camping World Truck Series race at Pocono and finished eighth, his firstJohn Wes Townley ever top-10 in a major (NASCAR photo) NASCAR series.

Hamlin to be first-time father Denny Hamlin made a big announcement during his regular media appearance on Friday at Pocono. “I just want to let everyone know that me and Jordan [Fish] are expecting next January, and excited about that,” he said. “It’s been a long time coming, so it’s going to be exciting to be a dad.” He said he hopes he can be as good a father to his child as his dad was to him. “Half of what my dad was would be good,” he said. “My family has done a lot for me to get to this point, obviously, and just all of the sacrifices and all that they’ve gone through. “My dad tells me all of the time that some of the best times he had is just carrying me around in his pickup truck every day, taking me to work with him and things like that. It’s going to be a great experience, and so I’m really excited about it, and really just excited to be a part of it. For my parents to have grandkids is all going to be good.” He also said there might be wedding bells somewhere in his future. “I am 31, so I consider myself pretty patient if I haven’t been married yet,” he said. “There’s no reason to rush into it right now, especially with everything that is going on. “We’ve obviously got a busy six months ahead of us.”

Gordon named humanitarian For his work on behalf of children dealing with serious illnesses, Jeff Gordon has been chosen as the seventh recipient of The Heisman Humanitarian Award, which he will receive during the 78th annual Heisman Memorial Trophy Dinner on Dec. 10 in New York. Gordon established his foundation in 1992 after his then-crew chief Ray Evernham’s son was diagnosed with leukemia. Since then, the foundation has raised more than $11 million. Gordon also opened the Jeff Gordon Children’s Hospital in Concord, N.C. The Heisman award includes $50,000 for Gordon’s foundation.

Max Blair Wins Sunoco Fuels Crate Late Model Special at Stateline Speedway

Contributed Article By Glenn Slocum

BUSTI, N.Y. — Thirty-two Crate Late Models were on-hand for Sunoco Race Fuels Crate Late Model Special at Stateline Speedway. A 4-wide tribute was made by the models to honor the passing of Bill Law, owner of the No. 14 Crate Late and the man most responsible for bringing the division to Stateline. It took three heats and a consolation race to set the field for the special. Jason Genco won the consolation and along with Garret Stephen who finished second and Eric Andrus who finished third were added to the field. Point leader Damien Bidwell was involved in an accident in the heats and received a promoter’s provisional along with Mark Thrasher the next in points who failed to qualify. Justin Tatlow and Chad Ruhlman made up the front row of the Sunoco Crate Late Model Special and Tatlow was leading when a multicar incident stopped the race before the first lap was complete. Bob Dorman was tagged for the yellow and the rest were aligned as they started. Tatlow had Ruhlman by a bumper at the end of lap one with Max Blair third and Ryan Scott fourth. Paul Himes, Brad Mesler caused the second yellow with four laps complete. Tatlow lost the lead to Ruhlman on the restart. A spin by Wade Mohawk caused caution three with nine laps compete. Blair passed Tatlow on the restart and closed with Ruhlman with Tatlow eight car-lengths back in third. As Blair and Ruhlman fought for the lead Mark Thrasher pulled out on the front straight from the infield stopping on the track for yellow four. Ruhlman choose the outside for the

restart and led lap sixteen with Blair alongside. Blair led lap eighteen by a nose and then was able to slide up in front of Ruhlman to cement the lead. Bobby Rohrer stopped in the pit exit for caution five. Twenty-two of the 26 starters remained. Blair, Ruhlman, John Lacki, Tatlow and Scott were the leaders. The yellow flew again with just two laps complete. The race ended with Blair running the final two laps unchallenged and Ruhlman nipped Lacki at the line for second. Dutch Davies won his fourth Super Late Model feature in commanding fashion. The race ran without a caution with Davies passing nearly half the field. Eighteen of the 21 late models showed for the start of the Late Model feature. Andy Boozel led the first two laps before Dutch Davies took over on Lap 3. Randy Lobb was third with Jason Dupont fourth and

Chris Hackett fifth. Davies joined with lap traffic on lap 10 nearly a straight away ahead of Lobb with Dupont five car lengths behind in third. With 10 to go Davies was in heavy lap traffic with a large lead over Lobb and Dupont. All green at five to go as Davies put point leader Rich Gardner in the George LaBarberra car a lap down. Davies won the event that ran from green to checkers in 12 minutes and ended with just 11 cars on the lead lap. Limited Late Model point leader Steve Kania led every lap to win his fourth feature of the season. Kania and Chris Ottaway led the models to the green for their feature event. Kania led the first lap as the yellow flew for Chevy Sweet stopped in turn three. Kania led the next three laps then yellow two involving Jake Finnerty and Chad Schauers slowed the event.

NY State Police Plan NASCAR 'Speed Week' Campaign Contributed Article Associated Press

(AP) — If you're headed to this weekend's NASCAR race at Watkins Glen International Raceway, don't try to emulate Jimmie Johnson or Jeff Gordon. State police say they'll be targeting speeding and other traffic violations as part of

an enforcement campaign dubbed "Speed Week" that start's Monday and runs through Sunday, the day of the big race at Watkins Glen.

Maj. Kevin Molinari, commander of state police Troop C, says every available trooper

will be on patrol this week to crack down on speeders, impaired drivers and distracted drivers. Troop C covers a sevencounty area in southcentral New York, including the Finger Lakes village of Watkins Glen, home to the famous raceway. The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series at The Glen is set for Sunday afternoon.

Kania, Ottaway, Dustin Eckman, Tyler Green and Steve Moynihan were the leaders. Kania easily pulled away from the field on the restart. Moynihan was moving up reaching third from his eighth starting spot at the halfway point. Kania slowed when he encountered lap traffic allowing Ottaway to close. Kania was able to maintain his lead event in lap traffic as the race wound down. At two to go, Kania was 10-car lengths ahead of Ottaway and had a clear racetrack in front of him. Kania cruised home for his fourth win of the season tying Eckman in the win column and extending his point lead. Chris Withers won his ninth Street Stock feature with a commanding lead over Paul Nelson Jr. and veteran Brian Crandall. It was three wide at the end of lap one in the first Street Stock feature with Kevin Golden just nipping Kyle

Weilacher and Jason Covey at the line. The first yellow appeared during lap two. A yellow on the restart collected Nick Mohawk and Kevin Golden. Weilacher, Covey, Chris Withers, Paul Nelson Jr. and Jeremy Williams were the restart leaders. Covey beat Weilacher to the line to lead Lap 2, and then Earle and Sam Courson caused yellow three. Withers was the new leader after the lap two restart with Covey second and Nelson third. Another yellow on lap five collected several cars including Pat Fielding, Elaine Best, Todd Bacon and Gary Fisher. Nelson passed Covey on Lap 7 for the No. 2 spot and Brian Crandall was fourth after starting 11th. Crandall continued to advance gaining third just before the fourth caution as Best stopped in turn four. Withers won with a commanding lead over Nelson. It took three attempts to complete the first lap of the second Street Stock feature then just as the lap ended Kevin Hill stopped up nose into the front stretch wall and hit hard by Doug Moore. Both drivers were okay but neither car could continue. Richard Wojtowicz was the leader with Brad Strickland second. Yellow five happened on lap five with cars spun in turns two and four. Eric Harvey spun Brian Wilson for yellow six with ten laps complete. Wojtowicz won the caution filled event with Lance Palmer second. Point leader Dan Nocero Jr. was the leader at the end of the first lap of the Super Sportsman feature. A Lap 2 caution for Tom Kosinski slowed the event. Jake Eller spun to a stop before the green for caution two then caution three on the restart for Tim Card. Eller spun again with seven laps complete for yellow four. The fifth yellow occurred on Lap 10 and the sixth on the restart. Nocero won his eighth of the season.

Usain Bolt Wins 2nd Consecutive Olympic 100-Meter Gold By Howard Fendrich

Associated Press

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Andy Murray put his hands over his face when it was over, then crouched down as Centre Court roared. He quickly popped back up and went to the net to shake Roger Federer's hand. One month after anguish at Wimbledon, it was elation in the Olympics — all in the same spot. Murray used an aggressive approach to beat Federer 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 for the men's singles title, delighting a partisan crowd that had watched the dour Scotsman wilt in his biggest matches all too often. Not this time. Sunday's victory marked a career breakthrough for Murray. He has dropped all four of his Grand Slam finals, three against Federer, including the devastating loss at the All England Club a month ago. "It has been the best week of my tennis career by a mile," Murray said. "I've had a lot of tough

LONDON (AP) — Lining up for the Olympic 100-meter final, Usain Bolt wrapped up his signature prerace preening by lifting a finger to his lips. Shhhhhhh. Time to silence the critics.

SUHR BRINGS HOME THE GOLD continued from pg 1 sweet redemption for Suhr, who lost out to the Russian in Beijing. Suhr passed until 4.55, which she cleared with relative ease. With Isinbayeva failing on her first jump at the same height, Suhr was the frontrunner for the rest of the night. By the time the bar was moved to 4.65, which Suhr passed on, only six competitors remained. Suhr hadn’t even

broken a sweat yet. She cleared her first jump on her next try at 4.70 meters as well, but so too did Silva and Isinbayeva. So they moved on to 4.75 meters, this time with just four remaining. At this point, it looked like the top three ladies could go on all night. But, Surh opened the 4.75-meter jump with a miss

— her first of the night — that for a brief moment likely shed some doubt. But, everyone else missed too. And just like that, what seemed like could go on for an eternity was suddenly looking like the next clearance could win. And it just so happens that it did. Suhr cleared 4.75 on her next jump before Silva did the same. Isinbayeva missed again, starting to shows sign

that a new winner would be crowned tonight. Then, when Germany’s Silke Spiegelburg missed after Isinbayeva, Suhr had at least clinched a medal. But, we know she came for much more than a bronze. Isinbayeva opted to pass on her final jump at 4.75, setting up the epic finale at 4.80. But after misses from Suhr and Silva, Isinbayeva failed on her

final jump, signifying the end of an era that could actually be felt on TV. She waved to fans and slowly walked off to the side where he coach was waiting for sort of like a cowboy riding off into the sunset. It was all up to Suhr and Silva. And with each failing on their final two jumps, it was Suhr’s moment. It was Suhr’s 14th gold medal.

She had won 11 national championships and two more gold’s in Olympic time trials. But until now, she had never won on the world stage. Track and field events wrap up Sunday morning in London with the men’s marathon. Closing ceremonies will be later on in the day and shown live on NBC Sports Network before a tape delay on NBC Primetime Sunday night.

congratulations Jenn Suhr from everyone from:

Bills RBs Jackson, Spiller Willing To Share Load

By John Wawrow Associated Press

PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — Coach Chan Gailey can do the math rather easily: The Buffalo Bills have two capable running backs, and only one football to go around. And that's why he's already cautioned both Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller to limit their expectations regarding playing time and production because he intends for both to share the load. “I said this way back: 'Everybody that is supposed to touch the ball won't be happy, because nobody's going to get it as much as they would like,”' Gailey said. “It's a little bit of a problem to make sure those guys touch it as much as they need to. But it's a good problem to have.” Jackson can sympathize with Gailey's dilemma. “I'm glad I don't have to make that decision,” Jackson said, regarding playing time. “So long as we're winning football games, we'll be all right.” Spiller's on board, too. “We both understand that we both can't be selfish,” Spiller said. “And if we're both playing at a high level, then it will elevate our team. It's exciting.” The Bills (No. 19 in the AP Pro32) have high expectations approaching this season, and part of that revolves around an offense that returns mostly intact after finishing a respectable 14th in the NFL in yards gained last year. It's a Gaigoldley-run attack that relies on its running backs he to play a key role in both the ground game and as receivers to keep opponents off-balance. in Though the two running backs have been no together since 2010, when the Bills selected Spiller with the ninth pick in the draft, this

marks the first season they're being regarded as relative equals. Jackson, the veteran stalwart, was the team's first-half MVP in helping the Bills get off to a 5-2 start before his season ended in November, when he broke a bone in his right leg. Through seven games, Jackson was fourth in the NFL with 721 yards rushing and second with 1,074 yards from scrimmage. Having signed a two-year, $9 million contract extension this offseason, Jackson has both the respect he's long desired from the Bills, and

also the drive to show last year was no fluke. “I want to show that I belong as a 31-year-old running back,” Jackson said. “I want to go out and show why they showed faith in me, and why they kept me around.” Spiller has something to prove as well. He's eager to show he can build off what he did in showing flashes of his potential in filling in for Jackson over the final six games last season. Enjoying his most playing time since arriving in Buffalo, Spiller averaged 74 yards per game and scored five times, including two touch-

Bills QB Fitzpatrick Earns Respect Of Teammates By John Wawrow Associated Press

PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — Ryan Fitzpatrick is the first to acknowledge he still faces questions about his consistency and ore mechanics. The rest of the qualities it takes ls. to being a successful quarterback - poise, er toughness, and confidence - the Buffalo Bills starter appears to have down pat. p From the ability to take a big hit and play n- hurt, as Fitzpatrick did last season, or on. accepting pressure and blame, he's not wavered. Whether it's taking his offensive wn linemen out to dinner or merely rememrk bering something simple as birthdays or C the first name of a player's wife, his actions have resonated through the locker room. ''We wouldn't trade him for anybody,'' center Eric Wood said Tuesday. ''He's our guy.'' Or as coach Chan Gailey says: ''He can win championships.'' That's high praise for a journeyman seventh-round draft pick out of Harvard, who is on his third team in eight seasons and lost far more games than he's won, including a 15-24 record with the Bills (No. 19 in the AP Pro32). There's more to the numbers, his teammates say. ''You can't put it all on him,'' receiver Stevie Johnson said. ''We all have to do our parts.'' If there's any more pressure on Fitzpatrick entering a critical stage of his career in an attempt to play up to the six-year, $59 million contract extension he signed in October, the quarterback's not showing it. ''I wouldn't even think he'd be facing pressure right now the way he's out there. He's so cool,'' Johnson added. ''He seems so comfortable.'' Like the beard he's begun to grow in each of the past three offseasons, Fitzpatrick remains unchanged even as the stakes have been raised. He's maintains a dry,

self-deprecating wit, and is open to ribbing teammates, sharing nicknames of assistant coaches and about how bad his golf game is these days. ''I love it,'' Fitzpatrick said, referring to how much pressure might be on him. ''If I didn't love it, I don't think I'd play the position. That's why I do it. I want all of the pressure to fall on me so that the other guys can just go out there and play.'' And yet, Fitzpatrick will acknowledge he has to play better and with more consistency. ''That's really going to be the test for me, and not just Week 1 through Week 5,'' Fitzpatrick said. ''It's going to be the whole season.'' That was the problem last year. After helping the team get off to a surprising 5-2 start, Fitzpatrick and the Bills then unraveled by going 1-8 the rest of the way. The wins and losses mirrored Fitzpatrick's production. Through seven games, he had 14 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Over his final nine games, he had 10 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. It didn't help that the Bills were so banged up on defense that it placed far too much pressure on the offense to pro-

duce in order to keep up. Buffalo's offense was also riddled with injuries, and not designed to have Fitzpatrick come out throwing as much as he did. The Bills went 4-0 when Fitzpatrick made 29 or fewer pass attempts. And they went 2-10 when he attempted 30 or more. Fitzpatrick won't acknowledge it, but teammates will mention how he continued playing through a severe chest injury sustained during a 23-0 win over Washington in late October. ''He showed a lot of guts to us last year,'' Wood said. ''He proved a lot to us in the way he came in, week in and week out.'' Fitzpatrick has spent much of the offseason working on improving his mechanics with new quarterbacks coach David Lee. The work has shown signs of paying off a week into training camp. Fitzpatrick has been sharp in hitting receivers with throws to their back shoulders, something he's previously struggled with. And he's been very consistent in hitting players on the run over the middle. ''I've got a lot of belief in myself, and I think that if I didn't believe in myself, I probably would have quit playing football after I was done with Harvard,'' Fitzpatrick said. ''I'm ready to go out there and play. I've proved it. I've showed it. I've played well in stretches. But I think consistency is the big thing, and I know I can do it.'' There's more to Fitzpatrick than production and numbers, tight end Scott Chandler said. Chandler will never forget how impressed he was when he first introduced his wife Alissa to Fitzpatrick, and the quarterback already knew her first name. ''It's stuff like that that makes people feel good and makes them feel wanted,'' Chandler said. ''He's genuinely interested in you and your well-being. That's a quality that not very many people have. And it's a great one to have in a quarterback.''

downs receiving. It was enough for him to finally feel like a true contributor after managing just 283 yards on 74 carries in 14 games as a rookie. “I never lost confidence in myself. I think the fans were more concerned about it,” Spiller said, referring to questions about his initial lack of playing time. “But I don't think anybody in the organization was worried about my abilities. It was just that we had a guy playing a Pro Bowl level. And when you have that then coach Gailey obviously kept with him.” Jackson is more of a straight-ahead runner, who's capable of pounding out yards against opposing defenses. Spiller is smaller, and more elusive, relying on his breakaway speed to beat opponents. Their one-two punch has been on display in training camp, ever since the Bills began practicing in pads last weekend. On Wednesday night, Jackson punched his way through a hole on the right side. A few plays later, Spiller went left, and found a crease for what would've been a big gain. Spiller is also getting more time in pass situations. On Thursday, he sneaked out of the backfield and found himself wide open in catching a pass in the right flats. Gailey has stuck with his plan to share the load so far. Jackson and Spiller have both been getting near-equal practice time, runs and catches with the starters in team drills. And Gailey hasn't ruled out coming up with a rotation or even having them line up in the backfield at the same time once the season begins. “I don't want one of them standing over by me too much (on the sideline), because they're both such good players,” Gailey said.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article

Department of Environmental Conservation

The walleye catching patterns remain much the same as last week. Sturgeon Point and Buffalo anglers report consistently good walleye catches, including many limits. The hot bite out of Sturgeon Point is near the international line in 60-65 feet of water, on worm harnesses and stickbaits run near the bottom. Buffalo area anglers have also done quite well when trolling along the border line. In addition, Buffalo area anglers report good catches in 40-45 feet of water. Three-way bottom bouncing rigs with small worm harnesses has worked well for "eater" size walleye (15-20 inches). When bottom bouncing, slow troll at 1.21.5 mph while concentrating efforts along humps and drop-offs. West of Dunkirk, anglers are catching fewer, but bigger walleye. The action has been hit or miss off Barcelona and west of Dunkirk. Trollers head for 85-125 feet of water and run worm harnesses and stickbaits 50-60 feet down. West end trollers also see the occasional steelhead mixed in with walleye catches. Anglers should not overlook shallower reef areas when searching for walleye. Anglers are catching walleye

around reefs by casting and retrieving weight forward spinners tipped with nightcrawlers or by bottom bouncing with worm harnesses along the deeper edges. Good reef spots include Seneca Shoal, Myers Reef and Evans Bar. On Lake Erie, the minimum size for walleye is 15 inches with a daily creel limit of five walleye per angler. Lake trout catches have been good for the handful of boats that have been targeting them off Barcelona and northwest of Dunkirk. Downriggers with spoons run near the bottom has worked well in 80-120 feet of water. July and August are the most productive months to target this underutilized Lake Erie species. Decent smallmouth bass catches can be found in 20-40 feet of water. Bass stick tight to areas with structure, so key on areas like drop-offs, reefs and rock piles. A drop-shot rig combined with live crayfish or golden shiners works great. A drop-shot with tube jigs or plastic creature baits (especially round goby imitation) also works well. Chautauqua Lake Weed edges are a good place to catch a variety of fish species. Largemouth bass and sunfish are common along weed edges and within open pockets in the weeds. Trolling with large stickbaits along weed edges will also

draw muskellunge strikes. Move a little deeper off the weed line and you've got good opportunity to catch smallmouth bass or yellow perch. Minnows, crayfish or plastics work well for smallmouth bass. Small minnows and worms work well for yellow perch. Upper Niagara River Smallmouth bass are available throughout the upper river. Concentrate on areas outside weed edges in 10-20 feet of water. Traditionally productive spots include the west bank of Grand Island (near Beaver Island State Park) and the east side of Strawberry and Motor Islands. When fishing the west side of Grand Island, be aware that the international line runs quite close to the Island. Drifting with a three-way bottom bouncing rig and live crayfish works well. Anglers can target muskellunge by drifting on the outside of weed edges with large 8-10 inch tube jigs. Either side of Strawberry Island and Thompsons Hole (on Canadian side) can be productive. Fishing has been fair from Buffalo area shore sites. Live bait has produced some yellow perch, white perch, black bass and sheepshead. Inland Trout Streams Lower flows are the norm on most of the area streams, although some

TRAINING CAMP BRAWL continued from pg 4 it sends the wrong message to our team. We want to take care of our guys. I get it, guys are competitive, guys are fiery. That's nice, but you want to take it to the brink and compete to the last possible moment and always remember to protect your teammates. “So, I don't like to see it.” McKnight later went down after taking a hard hit, and walked gingerly off the field with a trainer by his side. McKnight

said he suffered a stinger, but was fine after practice. “That stuff doesn't help,” Sanchez said. “You get too physi-

cal out there and hurt a guy on your team ... we're playing

together.” Scuffles in training camp are fairly common around the league, particularly during the second week of practices. The Jets play their first preseason game Friday night against the Bengals in Cincinnati. “When you go against the same people every single day, that stuff tends to happen,” Lynn said. “I think we're looking forward to hitting someone from a different team for once.”

streams in the southern tier did get a slight bump in flow from recent rainstorms. It is advised that anglers not target trout in the afternoon, when stream temperatures are elevated. Tricos are hatching at dawn and are the go-to pattern at that time. There are also some sporadic hatches of cahills, isonychia and blue-winged olives happening in the region. Terrestrials such as ants, beetles and grasshoppers are good bets when there are no fly hatches occurring. These patterns should be fished on a dead drift, with slight twitches every now and again to imitate a struggling insect.

Spinning anglers do well with worms, salted minnows and small inline spinners. If you are a catch and release angler and use spinners, it is a good idea to outfit your spinners with a single hook rather than a treble hook. If you need more fishing information or would like to contribute to the fishing report, please call or e-mail Mike Todd (716-851-7010; mttodd@ gw.dec.state.ny.us) or Jim Markham (716-366-0228; jlmarkha@gw.dec. state.ny.us). The fishing hotline can also be heard at (716) 679-ERIE or (716) 855-FISH.

NFL PRESEASON HAS BEGUN continued from pg 4 like this, having to play that fifth preseason game,'' Skelton said. ''But he will be OK.'' The Cardinals finished 8-8 last season, Kolb's first in Arizona. He started nine games and threw for nine touchdowns with eight interceptions while learning a new offense on the fly because of the lockout. Skelton filled in when Kolb was hurt and went 5-2 as a starter. After the opening series for each team, the backups got into the game and things got ragged. The fill-in officials had a few rough moments, too. Ochoa, who has eight years of

experience with BCS leagues and 16 years at Division III, flipped the ceremonial coin and announced that New Orleans had won and deferred. As he started walking away, he caught his mistake. ''Correction,'' he said. ''Arizona won the coin toss.'' After New Orleans scored on its first possession, several Saints came in to block for the extra point and gestured to the officials to point out that they had reported for the play. Coming out of the 2-minute warning in the first half, Ochoa announced that

the previous play was under review, then corrected himself and said it was not. The officials had trouble spotting the ball after a punt that involved a penalty, repeatedly moving the ball after consultations. The league has locked out its officials and hired replacements in case the labor dispute extends into the season. They've trained them for the last two months. The league used replacement officials for the opening week of the 2001 season before reaching agreement with the union.

on many of the players. "Every Olympics has been a life-changer for me," said Federer, who teamed with Swiss countryman Stanislas Wawrinka to win doubles gold in Beijing. "Good or bad, I think I took away a lot of positives, from the Olympic spirit, from the way, I don't know, you appreciate other sports, appreciate winning, losing." The world No. 1 said he had tears in his eyes after a tight first-round victory at the Olympics, and then felt emotionally exhausted after a mar-

athon semifinal win against del Potro, who wept after the third set went Federer's way, 19-17. The big Argentinian was crying again Sunday, this time with happiness, after defeating Novak Djokovic for the bronze medal. "I don't have the words to explain," Del Potro said. "It's similar to winning a Grand Slam (title) or maybe even bigger." Federer said the draining semifinal "might have cost him" against Murray, though he praised the Briton for executing a forceful game plan

that stopped him from getting his "teeth" into the match. And, it turns out, last month's loss to Federer played a key part in the Olympic victory. Murray won the first set of the Wimbledon final and had chances in the second. He found himself in the same place Sunday, only this time he converted those opportunities. "I'm starting to find a way of treating every single point exactly the same throughout the whole match," he said. "When you do that, you tend to play better for longer in the match."

to drive fast, too, was involved in a wee-hours car crash in Kingston in June — not the only auto accident he's been in. His publicist played down the seriousness of the latest episode, but the hand-wringing in Jamaica intensified after the poor performances at the trials a few weeks later. "The trials woke me up. Yohan gave me a wakeup call," Bolt said. "He knocked on my door and said, 'Usain, wake up! This is an Olympic year.'" Message delivered. "I had to show the world I'm the greatest," he said. If that hasn't already been accomplished, Bolt sure is close. He will begin defending his title in the 200, which he consid-

ers his best event, in Tuesday's heats. He's also part of Jamaica's 4x100 relay team, of course, and wouldn't rule out taking part in the 4x400 this time, as well. Some saw no reason to wait to see what Bolt does the rest of the way at these Olympics. "There's no doubt he's the greatest sprinter of all time now," said seventh-place finisher Richard Thompson of Trinidad and Tobago, who was 0.35 seconds back on Sunday. Thompson was the silver medalist in Beijing, despite trailing Bolt by a hard-tobelieve 0.20. The margin Sunday was 0.12, and Bolt pushed all the way, making up for his usual slow beginning.

"He's the Michael Phelps of our sport," Gatlin said, referring to the U.S. swimmer who has won a record 22 Olympic medals, 18 gold. "What can you say? He's a showman. Is it arrogance? Confidence? It's a good show." Bolt is not the most serious fellow, and he isn't too proud to admit he never has put much emphasis on fitness. In 2008, he explained that his success was fueled by chicken nuggets from a fast-food restaurant in the Olympic village. This time around, he noted that he noshed Sunday on a sandwich wrap from the same chain. "It was chicken with vegetables, so it was healthy," Bolt said with perfect deadpan delivery. "Don't judge me."

MURRAY WINS GOLD continued from pg 8 He also picked up a silver in mixed doubles when he and Laura Robson lost to Victoria Azarenka and Max Mirnyi of Belarus 2-6, 6-3, 1-0 (8). In the day's first match on Centre Court, women's singles champion Serena Williams teamed with sister Venus to win their third career doubles gold medal. They defeated Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka of the Czech Republic 6-4, 6-4 under the retractable roof. Serena became tennis' first double gold medalist at an

Olympics since Venus won singles and doubles at the 2000 Sydney Games. The sisters also won the doubles gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. And with Sunday's victory, each has a record four Olympic tennis gold medals. "Crazy," Serena said. "I'm always copying her. I forgot that she did it in Sydney and I do it here. We're the same doubles team, we just split this to singles, so it's cool." Mike Bryan won his second medal of the weekend when he and U.S. teammate Lisa

Raymond took the bronze in mixed doubles, which was back in the Olympics for the first time since 1924. Bryan and his brother Bob won the gold in men's doubles Saturday. Maria Kirilenko and Nadia Petrova of Russia took the bronze in women's doubles, while Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina finished third in men's singles. The focus for Murray and Co. now turns to the hard-court circuit leading up to the U.S. Open. But the Olympic experience had a captivating effect

USAIN RETAINS 100 METER TITLE continued from pg 8 Ever the entertainer, the Jamaican kept right on running past the finish for a victory lap that included high-fives with front-row fans, a pause to kneel down and kiss the track and even a somersault. Thousands in the capacity crowd of about 80,000 chanted the champion's name: "Usain! Usain! Usain!" Bolt's training partner and Jamaican teammate, world champion Yohan Blake, won the silver in 9.75, and 2004 Olympic champion Justin Gatlin of the U.S. took the bronze in 9.79. "It just feels good to be back," said Gatlin, who served a fouryear ban after testing positive for excessive testosterone.

"To be honest, I went out there to challenge a mountain. I went out there to challenge the odds. Not just myself and everything I've been through, but the legacy of Usain Bolt," Gatlin said. "I had to go out there and be fearless." Everyone in the final broke 10 seconds except former worldrecord holder Asafa Powell of Jamaica, who pulled up with a groin injury. At the last Olympics, Bolt announced his arrival on the global stage by winning the 100 with a then-record 9.69 seconds, even though he slowed down to celebrate by pounding his chest over the last 20 meters. That mark only lasted until the 2009 world championships, when he low-

ered the mark to 9.58. But The World's Fastest Man had been something less than Boltesque since then, in part due to a string of minor injuries to his back and legs. In 2010, he lost to Tyson Gay, the American who's a past world champion and cried inconsolably after ending up fourth Sunday in a time (9.80) that would have been good enough to win every Olympic 100 gold medal other than the past two. A false start knocked Bolt out of the 100 at last year's world championships, creating an opening for Blake. Then came recent, much-discussed losses to Blake in the 100 and 200 at the Jamaican Olympic trials. Bolt, a fast runner who likes

IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME

What state is your golf in?

unt

rs, nna

August 9, 2012 Edition – Sports Section – B

By T.J. TOMASI

One thing’s for sure: If your ball flight is crooked, there is a mismatch somewhere in your golf game. And the better you are at finding that mismatch, the better your golf will be. As a teacher, I look at a swing as either being mismatched, in transition or in “a state of match,” that region of the golf country where your best golf is played. Being in a state of mismatch is an unhealthy, troublesome and energy-poor condition — one that requires much effort and attention. But being in a state of transition between mismatch and match is no bargain, either. It’s chaotic and unsettling, a dangerous time because you can go either way: You can sink back into mismatch by tinkering, or you can emerge into the state of match by finding the correct swing string. The state of match is where you want to play. Here you move your body and club through the four dimensions in perfect concert with the laws of physics. In this state, energy is generated by coiling the big muscles of the body, then transmitted through the arms and hands, down the shaft and emptied into the ball. And the ball, excited by its new infusion of energy, flies to target.

Straight shootin’ The hardest thing to do is hit the ball dead straight, and most often, even though it looks like the ball is flying straight, it’s hard to see what is actually happening. Most shots have some curve to them, but for this discussion, I’ll describe the combination of mechanics — the swing string — that produces a straight shot. A golf shot flies straight because there is no sidespin on the ball, only backspin as it leaves the clubface. Think of it this way: The ball has a vertical and horizontal axis that looks like a plus sign: +. At impact, when the clubface is square to its path, there is no axis tilt (the plus sign remains perpendicular to the ground), so the ball rotates with pure backspin and the shot flies straight. Curve occurs when the clubface is not perpendicular to its path at impact, so the axis tilts to the left for a draw and to the right for a fade. The three strings of swing mechanics all produce good golf shots, but each has a different ball flight — fade, draw or straight. The strings are made of the same seven building blocks:

clubface po- ABOUT THE WRITER sition, ball Dr. T.J. position, foot Tomasi is a teaching flare, aim/ professional alignment, in Port St. hip action, reLucie, Fla. Visit his lease pattern/ website at shaft lean and tjtomasi.com. weight flow. The swing string you need to make the no-tilt straight shot happen is: 1. Clubface is square to its path and square at the top of the swing. 2. Ball position is neutral; neither way up nor way back in your stance. 3. Foot flare is medium, with both feet turned out the same degree. 4. Aim/alignment: Clubface is aimed at the target; body is aligned parallel to target line. 5. Hip action is at medium speed, between fast and slow. 6. Release pattern and shaft lean: Trail elbow is slightly bent at impact; shaft is on plane in pre-finish position. 7. Weight shift is a continuous flow from back foot to front foot during downswing.

Better bad shots So far, Phil Mickelson’s 2012 season on the PGA Tour has been up and down, with four missed cuts in 16 tournaments, one first, one second, one third (the Masters) and a dismal tie for 65th at the U.S. Open, plus a missed cut at the British Open. The major reason is his driving accuracy — he ranks 164th. “More than having an aesthetically pleasing golf swing,” Mickelson said, “its understanding your golf swing that allows you to take out half the course. … You can’t play effectively if you don’t know which side you’re going to miss on.” There are three ways to play this game, two of them good: 1. You know exactly where the ball is going, which is unrealistic for most since only a few (Ben Hogan, Moe Norman, George Knudson, Byron Nelson, among others) have ever had that much control. 2. You know where it isn’t going, which applies to the rest of the great players, including Jack Nicklaus, who eliminated the left side of the golf course. 3. You don’t know where it’s going. This is the vast majority of golfers. Insider Takeaway: Instead of focusing on more good shots, focus on fewer bad ones. You would be a golfer to reckon with if you knew exactly where you were going to miss it. QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“There’s no doubt, all the traveling is wearing him down a little bit and we are seeing a little bit of fatigue.”

Q: I fall forward toward the ball, up on my toes, when I swing. I’ve tried swinging easy, but it doesn’t work. Do you have any drills I can use? — J.V. A: Make sure you distribute your weight correctly at address — keep it centered in the middle of your feet as you swing. This drill will help: Simply curl your toes at address and keep them curled as you swing. At first it may feel as if you’re rocking backward as you near the top of your swing, but that’s just because you’re used to being too much on your toes.

— Graeme McDowell, about his friend Rory McIlroy, following his love, Caroline Wozniacki, around the world to watch her play tennis. Starting with the Masters in April where he finished 40th, McIlroy missed the cut at the Players (the fifth major), missed the cut at the Memorial, missed the cut at the U.S. Open and tied for 60th at The Open. In the swing string that results in a straight shot, the clubface is square at the top and the lead wrist, forearm, shoulders and clubface all form parallel lines.

The tilt of the shaft is on the shoulder line in the pre-finish position, another square-string matchup.

Insider Takeaway: At 23 and in love, do you think McIlroy is tired?

TEEING OFF

SCIENCE SAYS

The Darwin of golf: Dr. Gary Wiren

The luckier I get, the harder I work

Great thinkers see the world differently from the rest of us, and this allows them to construct paradigms of how our world is put together that affect how we proceed. Einstein, Newton and, of course, Darwin are examples. One such innovator in the field of golf is Dr. Gary Wiren, a Hall of Fame teacher and educator par excellence who did something most people thought impossible. In 1990, he wrote a teaching manual for the PGA of America, describing a teaching model that 29,000 independent golf professionals agreed was spot-on. The book, although written years ago, is still current and used today. Yes, the pictures are dated and there have been a few discoveries fostered by state-of-the-art technology that was not available then. But his work has stood the test of time for what is an eternity in this fast-changing world, where chip power doubles every two years and last year’s iPhone is already a dinosaur. In Wiren’s model, five ball-flight laws explain what is happening at impact when you hit a golf shot. A “law” predicts with great accuracy what will occur every time certain conditions are present. The five laws are: speed, attack angle of clubhead, center contact, clubface position and clubhead path. All of these convene at impact. However, simply knowing the laws is not enough to teach (or learn) golf. You also must know what to do in order to maximize impact conditions, and here Dr. Wiren gives us 14 principles — the vehicles through which the five laws are expressed: 1. Grip; 2. Aim; 3.

Setup; 4. Swing Plane Angle; 5. Width of Arc; 6. Length of Arc; 7. Wrist Position; 8. Lever System; 9. Timing; 10. Release; 11. Dynamic Balance; 12. Swing Center; 13. Connection; 14. Impact. These, of course, are aspects of every swing that all golfers must attend to; everyone needs a setup, a grip, a release, etc. But exactly what type of grip, and how long and wide your swing is, differs. These are preferences, the vehicles through which the principles are carried out. While there are only five laws and 14 principles, there are many preferences, which is why Jim Furyk grips it one way and Tiger Woods another, yet they can both really play. But Wiren understands that personal preference has its boundaries set by the physics, biomechanics and geometry that govern our world. He puts it perfectly: “The right to individualism in teaching does not give license to teach something which violates physical law or principle, e.g., teaching a grip with both palms facing the sky would restrict angular momentum and leverage in the swing.” The advent of new technology has sparked some young teachers to claim discovery of “new ball flight laws,” but this is incorrect. The new information simply clarifies the paradigm presented by Dr. Wiren more than 20 years ago. When a new skill or two is uncovered, it merely modifies the template — you add to Darwin, not abandon him.

In their book “Beating the Odds: The Hidden Mathematics of Sport,” mathematicians Rob Eastaway and John Haigh rank golf No. 1 when it comes to luck influencing the result. In the pro ranks, that result is backed up by the research of Robert A. Connolly and Richard J. Rendleman Jr. at the University of North Carolina. They show that not only are the pros lucky, but their luck is a key element of winning the tournament. In fact, there are only a few players, such as Tiger Woods, who are skillful enough to win without luck. Connolly and Rendleman found that during the years they studied, PGA Tour winners had 9.6 more strokes of good luck vs. the field. “We find that mean skill alone is insufficient to win a golf tournament,” they wrote, “a little luck (i.e., unusually favorable outcomes and/or skilled play) is required for the most highly skilled players, such as Tiger Woods, and lots of luck is required for more average players to win.” Insider Takeaway: (1) Most players quit just before something good happens. (2) Practice hanging in there so that when you get lucky, you won’t be so far out of it that your luck doesn’t help. (3) You can’t control bad luck, but you can control your reaction to bad luck.

EQUIPMENT

Lighter clubs trade weight for speed Steel is the heaviest material used in club shafts, while graphite and composites are much lighter, and the lighter the club, the faster you can swing it. For every 1 mile per hour that you increase your clubhead speed, you can generate about 3 more yards in distance, so the weight of the club is a specification that affects your clubhead speed and therefore your distance.

Besides clubhead speed, a second advantage of using graphite and composites is that you can take the weight you save in the shaft and put that mass in the head. This also increases the distance because more mass is striking the ball. And a third advantage is that you can lengthen the shaft, which brings more distance without creating an overly heavy club.
