Fredonia Farm Festival Celebrates Area’s Natural Heritage Three full days of family oriented activities planned for 44th annual celebration

By Daniel Meyer Star Contributing Writer

Focusing on the rich heritage of the farming industry is a common theme that organizers constantly referred to as they planned the 44th annual Fredonia Farm Festival.

Scheduled to kickoff Aug. 23 with a free showing of the movie “Goonies,” this year’s celebration has three full days of activities slated to take place in Barker Common, located on Route 20 in the heart of the Village of Fredonia.

“We have a great weekend planned for families, particularly those who have children, and it really is an opportunity for anyone who wants to learn more about the farming industry to educate themselves through some fun activities,” said Kim Robbins, who along with Melissa Thompson serves as co-chair of the Fredonia Farm Festival.

Following their shared goal of “getting back to the basics,” Robbins and Thompson continue to structure the event around how farm festivals were celebrated years ago with a strong desire of promoting local products and services and avoiding commercialized items.

“We are always trying to keep the focus on farming and we do that by getting back to some of the basics with many new vendors with their handmade arts and crafts,” said Robbins.

“We actually have an overabundance

of people who wanted to get involved this year, which is great. People who attend this year’s festival will see that based on the goods and services that will be available for purchase.”

In addition to the arts and crafts vendors, there will also be several food and farmers market vendors selling everything from fresh vegetables to all of your favorite festival food items such as pizza, French fries, hot dogs and hamburgers.

The festival will feature scheduled events from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. on both Friday, Aug. 24 and Saturday, Aug. 25 and more activities from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 26. Among Festival Goers enjoy last year’s Fredonia Farm Festival. This year’s the highlights include live music all festival will be held Aug. 23-25. (Star File Photo.) three days, a children’s tractor pull, a hula-hoop contest and an antique car show.

“We feel we’ve got a little bit of everything and there will be activities and demonstrations and other events that should be able to please each member of the family,” said Robbins.

“We continue to add new things each year and we’re really happy with the schedule of events we put together for this weekend.”

The craft, artist and food vendors will be selling their wares from 10 a.m. to dusk on Friday and Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday.

“Blue Ballet” to Perform at the Bemus Bay Pops

By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor

The Bemus Bay Pops welcomes Erie’s “Blue Ballet” to the DFT Floating Stage for the first time on Aug. 31, at 9:30 p.m. Described as a “modern interpretation of classic ballet colliding with classic rock,” the show features the Lake Erie Ballet Company under the direction of Operations Director Rick DiBello and Executive Director Alethea Bodine.

The show is described as a full sensory experience with music, lights, projections, dance and set design.

DiBello and Bodine cover all of the performing arts, from dance to theatre and music, both vocal and instrumental.

According to DiBello, the series was first conjured up by Lea and himself to “bring dance to a different audi-

As well as producing the show, Bodine and DiBello also perform.

Together, they make up “Torn Curtain,” (torncurtain.net) with Lea as vocalist and Rick on lead guitar.

“Torn Curtain” is also comprised of Kevin Bensink on bass, Phil Popotnik on flute, Derf Hopsecger on keys and Rick Cass on drums.

Su Harrington of the Erie Times News, called the pair “Erie’s answer to the great couples of the entertainment world” and adds, “between them, the two cover all of the performing arts, from dance to theatre and music, both vocal and instrumental. DiBello and Bodine continue to stretch the limits of performance with their abstractions in music and movement.”

In addition, the Blue Ballet incorporates original paintings projected to ence and to also incorporate live the stage by Fran Shanz and Tom Fermusicians.” The performance is called raro plus set design by Brad Ford and the “Blue Ballet” because of its inteDavid Seitzinger. “Lea’s choreography gration of music from the “Moody and my music arrangements push the Blues,” which DiBello says, “transhow to a realm beyond standard balscends time and age groups.”

Bodine adds, “their music embodied so much for an entire generation, it left an indelible mark on all of us…the use of both traditional and electronic musical instruments set the tone for a new frontier of art and a slowly evolving attitude that still resonates within us today.”

DiBello says the music takes a few turns from rock with a jazzy version of “Dear Diary” and a rock/hip-hop version of “Gypsy.” Accompanying the new arrangements is a mixture of ballet and modern dance. Projections and aerials tend to lean toward rock theatre.

let,” states DiBello.

Debuting last April at the Erie Playhouse, the team of DiBello and Bodine are continually expanding the production and hope to add an orchestra next year as well. Next year the team is doing “Sparks” which is based on the original 1969 recording of the Who’s “Tommy.”

Bemus Bay Pops Symphony of Lights The public is also encouraged to celebrate the last Bemus Bay Pops Symphony of Lights show on Thursday Aug. 30 at 10 p.m. The free show on the DFT Floating Stage and surrounding shoreline explodes with a blaze of brilliant lights, colors and movement, all choreographed to music of The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Electric Light Orchestra, as well as other classic rock, music of praise, and symphonic ballet, providing a thrilling event for the whole family.

West Nile virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne infection that can cause serious illness and occasionally death. Many people who contract West Nile virus do not experience any type of illness; an estimated 20 percent of people who become infected will develop mild symptoms including fever, headache and body aches, and possibly a skin rash or swollen lymph glands. Severe infection causes symptoms such as high fever, neck stiffness, muscle weakness, headaches, stupor, disorientation, tremors, convulsions, paralysis and coma.

People of all ages are at risk for infection but people over age 50 and younger than age 16 are at greatest risk.

A multi denominational Christian pilgrimage to the Holy Land from Feb. 14 to Feb. 23 in 2013 is currently being planned. The trip will provide an excellent introduction into the Holy Land as pilgrims pray in the Garden of Gethsemane, visit Abraham’s tent and swim in the Dead Sea. The trip starts out on Feb. 14 departing from the United States. The next day the group will meet with the English speaking Christian theologian tour guide and travel up the coastline to the ancient Roman city of Caesarea where St. Paul sailed on his missionary journeys before visiting Megiddo -where according to the Revelations the final battle will take place - before proceeding to Nazareth to stay overnight.

What if the President of the United States called you and said, “On Sunday morning I will be calling you. I want to speak to you about some very important issues regarding our nation.” The first thing that would come to your mind would be, “I hope I act right.”

Because that office holds such high regard in our land it would put a reverent awe within you. Well, let me tell you that there is a greater office than that of the President. The office I am speaking of is the office of High Priest, Messiah, Great Apostle, and the Living Son of God. The Bible tells us that the resurrected Christ walks the aisles of His church

when we gather. Our willingness to revere the offices of men rather than the offices of God demonstrates that we simply walk by sight and not by faith. It is a reflection that men fear men more than they fear God. We have denigrated the single greatest phenomenon on the earth: Christ walking in the midst of the church.

Often, I am confronted by Christians that insist that having a Bible teaching local church is not necessary. They insist that they can be a believer without a church. Let me say this: You cannot be a faithful believer without one. That is like setting fire to the oval

office and saying that you are faithful to the President. Any person who neglects the local church is out of fellowship with God and is putting their soul at risk. Does that statement make you mad? There is an old colloquial expression that says, “The stuck pig squeals the loudest.” A person upset with that is just proving their guilty conscience.

Hebrews 10:25-29 says, “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together…but exhorting one another so much the more as the day approaches. BECAUSE if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no

more sacrifice for sin. Of how much sorer punishment do you suppose he is thought to be worthy that has trodden under foot the Son of Man and counted the blood WHEREWITH HE WAS SANCTIFIED…an unholy thing…” I encourage you to read those verses very carefully. These scriptures are warning us that our wrong motives and living can lead us straight to hell even if there was a time when we received the truth.

This is why church is so significant: We are not there to fulfill an attendance policy.

We are there to be exhorted to faithfulness. God knows that we need to be exhorted on a

regular basis so we don’t allow wrong intentions to grip our lifestyles. God’s voice booms from the local church. His voice shakes our conscience to prevent us from counting the blood of Jesus unholy. His voice tenderizes our soul and makes us flexible to His leading. Like a loving Father that yells out to a child approaching a busy thoroughfare, God also arrests our attention with His voice from the midst of His church. God’s church is there for your safety.

LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Senior tips and hundreds of other topics.

The sun is shining, birds are singing, butterflies are darting from colorful flower to colorful flower, and children across the country are complaining about being bored. Eliminate this by taking advantage of the weather. Get the family outside and interact with nature.

Head out to the garden toddlers in tow – or to a local park with flowers – and create a list of items to find and count.

For example, ask them to find one blue object, two soft and fuzzy plants, three flowers that smell pretty and four objects that are round in shape. This game incorporates shape, smell, touch and counting – all into one fun activity. Taking or drawing pictures together is a great way to document each finding. When you get back inside, print the photos and hang them along with the pictures you have drawn as a collage on the refrigerator. Or, arrange photos or pictures together into your very own counting book, so that the days’ fun can be enjoyed again and again.

Colorful birds singing beautiful tunes and flitting from tree to tree are a great attraction for younger, elementary school children. To encourage birds to visit the backyard, work with your child to create a songbird habitat. It is simple – all you need to provide is food, water, shelter and a place for birds to raise their young. Supply food by making your own bird feeder out of recyclable materials like soda bottles and milk cartons. Fill these feeders with different kinds of foods – dried fruit, peanuts or Scotts Songbird Selections NutriThrive. Then, place a dish filled with water near the area and ensure there are nearby native plants or trees. Now that your habitat is ready, visit savethesongbirds.

com to pledge to care for your habitat and receive an official songbird habitat certificate.

Not only have you connected your children with nature, you have helped Scotts in its commitment to save 1 million songbirds by creating 50,000 acres of songbird habitat through the Save the Songbirds program.

Organize a scavenger hunt game for your grand-children with some neighborhood kids in the garden or a local park. Make certain you have one adult to help every team. Equip each team with a camera – digital is better so you can review the photos quickly while still on site – and a plant identification book.

Assign the teams to find and photograph items – both living and nonliving – that start with each alphabet letter. For example, an apple starts with A, so the teams would bring back a photograph of an apple, found in the orchard. Be sure to have a list of items that start with some of the more difficult letters handy. For example, share with the players that zinnia would work for the letter Z, but do not tell them what a zinnia looks like. Demonstrate how to use the plant identification book. Have a small garden-themed prize for

teams that complete the entire alphabet. Seeds, watering cans, garden gloves and small kidsized hand shovels work great.

For older kids, create seed bombs to share and plant in fun spots. This is a great, hands-on craft project that can be used to decorate not only your yard, but the community as well. First, use a mixture of either Miracle-Gro Potting Mix or Miracle-Gro Organic Choice Potting Mix and flower seeds. Wild flower seeds work well here but a blend of annuals and perennials is also nice. Work with your grand-children to pick the best seed mixture. Once the seeds are selected, carefully mix the ingredients together and form balls. Have your grand-children wrap two or three seed bombs in colorful tulle, secure the package with a ribbon and hand them out to family and friends to plant. Once planted, the seeds will germinate and blossom beautifully all season. Find fun spots in the neighborhood or community that are available to plant. It is important to ask the property owner first. Continue the project by returning to the planting sites, keeping the mini-gardens watered and beautiful all summer long.

Joyce Boedo Medical Benefit On Saturday, Sept. 1 there will be a medical benefit for Joyce Boedo at the Fireman’s Club on Jackson Street in Silver Creek.

Boedo was recently diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in March, which is a cancer that starts in the plasma cells in the bone marrow. It causes a low blood cell count, resulting in a higher risk for infections and have abnormal bleeding. She is currently undergoing both chemotherapy and dialysis on a weekly basis.

A native of Silver Creek, Boedo has been heavily involved with the community.

She worked as a teacher aid at the Silver Creek Elementary School for 22 years and helped in events such as the pageant and the Grape Festival. In addition, she has helped a great number of people in the past.

One such incident was when a local family had a death in the family and Boedo made a dinner for them to have it sent to their house despite everything she was going through herself.

“The outcry of people wanting to help is amazing,” said Brian Boedo, Boedo’s son and one of the organizers of the event.

Starting at 1 p.m., the benefit will have a 50/50 raffle and a meat raffle at 3 p.m. and a live band called Left Off Center at 5: 30 p.m. There will also be a pasta dinner, basket raffles and much more.

Tickets cost $15 per person, children 5 to 18 years will be $5 and children under 5 will be free.

est benefit of our affiliation is keeping high-quality care close to home,” said Mrs. Wright.

“Community hospitals across the nation are facing extraordinary challenges in today’s uncertain healthcare environment. We are very excited to work alongside UPMC Hamot to provide greater opportunity moving forward into the future of healthcare delivery including our ability to recruit physicians and provide additional local specialty services to the benefit of everyone we serve. Through our combined efforts, healthcare will continue to grow even stronger and preserve local access to patient care.”

The affiliation is a strategic affiliation whereby both WCA Hospital and UPMC Hamot have agreed to work collaboratively on initiatives that will enhance the healthcare delivery in the local region.

Therefore, WCA Hospital will retain separate identity from UPMC Hamot. WCA Hospital will remain an independent, not-for-profit hospital and retain its independence and assets. The efforts of the WCA Foundation will support only WCA Hospital.

UPMC Hamot is a 412-bed tertiary care facility, regional referral hub, and Level II Trauma Center located in Erie, Pa. Supported by a 400-member medical staff and 3,100 dedicated employees, UPMC Hamot’s mission is to

serve its patients, communities, and one another in the UPMC Hamot tradition of quality, health, healing, and education. UPMC Hamot’s superior health care services are continually recognized by notable accrediting bodies. The organization joined UPMC on February 1, 2011.

“UPMC Hamot is looking forward to a long and successful partnership with WCA,” said Jim Fiorenzo, UPMC Hamot President. “This strategic affiliation not only strengthens WCA as the foremost provider of healthcare throughout Jamestown, New York and the Southern Tier, but it further enhances UPMC Hamot’s commitment to serve the patients of Chautauqua County.”

The WCA Hospital Board of Directors restated that patient access to high-quality care locally; the ability to recruit new physicians and provide additional services and programs; and the preservation to retain hospital independence and local board decisions remain top priorities.

“This affiliation brings together two dedicated and committed organizations to enhance services, quality and patient care throughout Western New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania,” said Brenda Ireland, Continued on page 16

that percentage equates to 2.3 million New Yorkers who are at increased risk for tobaccorelated disease. It is imperative that they have access to the quit-smoking resources they need.”

There are a number of environmental and social factors that contribute to this generational cycle of tobacco use among youth and adults in rural America.

Increased tobacco use is associated with lower education levels and lower income, which are both common in rural areas where there may be fewer opportunities for educational and economic advancement. Exposure to secondhand smoke is also higher as rural communities are less likely to have smoke-free air laws in place and residents are less likely to refuse to allow smoking in their homes or other indoor places.

For decades, the tobacco industry has used rural imagery, such as the Marlboro Man, to promote its products and appeal to rural audiences. Over the past several years, the tobacco industry’s marketing of smokeless tobacco products

Today, the American Lung Association released its latest lung health disparity report, “Cutting Tobacco’s Rural Roots: Tobacco Use in Rural Communities,” which examines tobacco addiction and exposure to secondhand smoke in rural America, particularly among rural youth. Eightyeight percent of adult smokers report starting prior to the age of 18, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Tobacco use is higher in rural communities than in suburban and urban communities, and smokeless tobacco use is shockingly twice as common.

Rural youth are more likely to use tobacco and to start earlier than urban youth, perpetuating the cycle of tobacco addiction and death and disease.

“Tobacco use is often more socially acceptable in rural areas, making it more likely that kids living in these communities will also start to use tobacco,” said Jeff Seyler, President and CEO of the American Lung Association of the Northeast.

Planned Parenthood Launches Breast Health Initiative

Contributed Article Reuters

Planned Parenthood, a target of U.S. conservatives opposed to its abortion and birth control services, said on Monday it will use $3 million in donations to launch an initiative to fight breast cancer with expanded screenings and education.

The donations poured into Planned Parenthood ear-

lier this year in response to a short-lived decision by breast cancer charity Susan G. Komen for the Cure to cut off grant money to the women’s health network.

The initiative will add to basic screenings at Planned Parenthood clinics by funding ultrasounds, biopsies and other follow-up services. One-third of the money is to help pay for more diagnostic tests.

It also will provide new educational resources for women under age 40, an outreach program for Hispanic women, and a new screening tool for the network’s doctors and nurses.

About 230,000 U.S. women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, with death rates higher among younger women and Hispanics. Planned Parenthood said it provided about 750,000 breast exams in 2011.

Planned Parenthood received

the $3 million influx of donations in four days earlier this year as 77,000 supporters rushed to protect the group after the Komen foundation said it would cut off nearly all of its $700,000 in annual grant money used to fund breast cancer screenings.

Komen’s decision triggered an uproar among its own supporters that forced the breast cancer charity to reverse the change.

Komen insiders said later that the foundation had acted under pressure from antiabortion activists opposed to Planned Parenthood.

“We were overwhelmed with support from people all across the country who wanted to be sure that women could still get breast cancer screenings at Planned Parenthood,” the organization’s president, Cecile Richards, said in a statement.

“We’ve spent the last few months developing an expanded program that plays to our strengths while addressing the biggest barriers to care.”

Since the controversy, Richards said Planned Parenthood has maintained close ties with most of the local Komen affiliates with which it initially had strong relations.

“In some communities, we’ve actually established relationships where we really didn’t have them before,” she said.

The group said it has also forged new relationships with organizations including LIVESTRONG, a nonprofit group founded by champion cyclist Lance Armstrong that helps people diagnosed with cancer navigate complexities of the U.S. healthcare system.

ingest water directly from a lake or pond where a bloom is occurring. Consuming water containing high levels of blue-green algal toxins has been associated with effects on the liver and on the nervous system in laboratory animals, pets, livestock and people.

Contact such as swimming or showering with water that contains high levels of toxin should also be avoided as it can cause irritation of the skin, eyes, nose and throat and inflammation in the respiratory tract and could accidently be ingested.” added Schuyler.

People should suspect that

blue-green algae could be present in water that is visibly discolored or that has surface scum. Colors can include shades of green, blue-green, yellow, brown or red. Water affected by blue-green algal blooms often is so strongly colored that it can develop a paint-like appearance.

Unpleasant tastes or odors are not reliable indicators of bluegreen algal toxins or other toxic substances, because species producing blue-green algal toxins may or may not also produce chemicals that affect the taste or odor of drinking water. Similarly, the

absence of unpleasant tastes and odors does not guarantee the absence of blue-green algal toxins.

To prevent health related problems associated with cyanobacteria algal blooms, health officials recommend taking the following precautions: Do not drink any water unless it has been properly treated or is from a known safe source.

Avoid or limit exposure to water where these algal blooms are occurring. This especially includes swimming and other contact recreation where the water could be accidentally swallowed.

Do not allow young children or pets to play in water where an algal bloom is present.

Wash your hands and body thoroughly if exposed to algal blooms and anytime after swimming or recreating in the lake.

County Health Department Cautions About Blue-Green Algae Blooms In Area Waters

The Chautauqua County Health Department closely monitors swimming beaches throughout the county and has 2.3 closed several beaches because are of high levels of blue-green o- algae.

Ten volunteer kayak safety kayaks provided on water support of the paddle participants and reported that all participants safely completed the course without incident.

CLA President Chris Yates said, “This event showed off the recreational use of Chautauqua Lake and may become an annual attraction for kayakers and canoeists from not only Southwestern New York State but the Western New York Region.” A kayaker who travelled from Clarence, New York, to participate noted

that it was an enjoyable and scenic setting for the event and should be able to attract a broad range of enthusiasts from the Buffalo, Rochester and Erie in coming years.

Promoted as a multi-generational outing, the event drew several local families and their friends. Shults Subaru General Manager, Darren Hills, paddled with his wife and two children. “Folks from novice paddlers to the more experienced kayakers thoroughly enjoyed being out on the lake today” he said. When asked if this will become an annual event he commented that he is “looking forward to that.”

Driving Under the Influence Incurs Hazardous Consequences

By Amanda S. Grodecki Chautauqua Alcoholism & Substance Abuse Council

On the evening of July 8, 2011, Alexandria Rice was going home from work on her skateboard when she was struck by a drunk driver. The impact from the collision left the 18-year-old with a broken neck. She died almost instantly. Her body was propelled at least 40 feet in the air and slid almost 39 feet on concrete before stopping to rest at a lawn.

At the time of the incident, the driver was speeding and texting and thought he had simply run over something on the road. He drove away from the scene of the crime and only fully noticed the extent of his accident when he got to his home. He discovered a severely crumpled hood on his BMW as well as blood and tissue on his front fender.

The perpetrator of the crime was a doctor; a person whose life is typically dedicated to the help and care of people in need. Dr. James Corasanti was found to have a 0.10 percent blood alcohol content five hours after the hit-and-run.

Corasanti claimed that he was not drunk when he struck Alexandria with his car, despite being over the legal limit of 0.08.

Corasanti’s month long trial resulted in a verdict of not guilty for manslaughter and guilty for a misdemeanor DWI. The trial and its conclusion were controversial and outraged many in Buffalo and the western New York region,

yet this case yielded one good result; it raised awareness for DWI. Despite the outcome of Corasanti’s trial, punishments for drivers caught drinking are becoming increasingly stricter.

People are realizing more and more of the severity of the damage caused while driving impaired.

A 2009 mandate entitled Child Passenger Protection Act, more commonly known as Leandra’s Law, is a result of the crackdown on drinking and driving. As of December 18th, 2009, any driver found to be intoxicated with a child who is younger than 16 in their vehicle will be convicted of drunken driving, even first-time offenders. They face being charged with a class E felony, which is punishable by up to 4 years in state prison.

Also, as of Aug. 15, 2010, a recently enacted stipulation of Leandra’s Law requires drivers who have been convicted of this offense to install and maintain an ignition interlock in the vehicle they own. An ignition interlock device is a system that requires an individual to blow into it. If they register a .025 percent blood alcohol content or higher, the engine will not start. The device is $800 to $1,000 for a six-month period and will be paid for by the convicted drunk driver.

In New York State, there are measures in place by the government to reduce the occurrence of not only drunk driving, but also impaired driving. Driving while intoxicated refers not only to high

blood alcohol content, but also refers to any substance that can potentially diminish a driver’s concentration and coordination. Use of any type of drugs, narcotics, or controlled substances including marijuana and even prescription or over-the-counter drugs can cause impairment and render a person unfit to drive.

One program in particular seeks to identify and target factors that would influence a person to engage in impaired driving. STOP-DWI stands for Special Traffic Options Program- for Driving While Intoxicated and is specifically designed to do exactly what its name communicates; stop DWI. Developed in 1980 and enacted a year later, STOP-DWI focuses on several areas to reduce the number of crashes that are caused by impaired drivers. Enforcement, rehabilitation, public information, and education are some aspects that this system provides funding to. The STOP-DWI project is state-wide and every county in New York has implemented it.

The concept of this program was formed by Senator William T. Smith whose daughter was killed by an impaired driver in 1973. Through advocacy and support, STOP-DWI gained momentum by the end of 1982.

A beneficial and innovative feature that helps the state fund this program is that it is self-sustaining. The money needed to run all the elements of the STOP-DWI program

are provided by fines paid by New York drivers convicted of DWI. With this bill, not only are the courts and the police involved with the system, but schools, non-profit organizations, and other groups are involved as well.

Chautauqua Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Council (CASAC) is one such group that is sponsored by the Chautauqua County Sheriff ’s Department to provide education and public information.

CASAC has received funding through the STOP-DWI program for several years and continues to provide services for the county.

CASAC continues its mission to build a safer, healthier community by effectively addressing alcohol, other drugs and related high-risk behaviors through advocacy, hope and awareness. While CASAC does provide the Chautauqua County Drinking and Driving program for past offenders, the emphasis is placed on prevention, with the majority of programs involving underage youth and drinking.

Several programs take place in schools throughout the area from kindergarten to grade 12. One-time presentations, interactive presentations, and evidence-based, multi-session drug prevention programs are available. The presentations address the dangers of alcohol and other drugs in general and specifically address the issue of driving under the influence of harmful substances.

CASAC strives to educate our youth so that such incidents of

DWI will be prevented in the future. Children will grow up to become the next generation of drivers and should be instructed on how to carefully and consciously navigate a vehicle. CASAC seeks to create and maintain a safer and healthier environment for our community to live in.

The citizens of our county should not fear losing their loved ones through a fault of an impaired driver, such as Dr. Corasanti. His negligence cost Alexandria her life and cost her parents immense grief and pain.

STOP-DWI was established to stop incidents like those and thus far, statistics show that it’s working. According to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, in 2008 in Chautauqua County, there were 135 total alcohol-related car accidents with 4 resulting in a fatality. Two years later, there were 109 total accidents that involved alcohol and no fatalities resulted from those crashes.

However, there is always room for improvement and impaired drivers are still being caught by law enforcement. In 2011, there were a total of 703 arrests for felony and misdemeanor DWI in Chautauqua County, according to the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services. Drivers who are under the influence will still continue to be a problem because diminished thought processes are accompanied by diminished capacity for good decision-making.

In an effort to educate past of-

fenders and potentially reduce the probability that they will drink and drive again, CASAC provides the Drinking Driver Program for Chautauqua County. In 2011, 382 individuals were enrolled in this program and were able to secure a conditional license, which allows them special driving privileges.

STOP-DWI was put in practice to at least educate the community to recognize when a person is simply unfit to drive and to try to stop them from getting behind the wheel.

Even if the person who is unable to realize that they should not be driving doesn’t stop himself, then a friend, relative, or even a general member of the community could intervene.

The STOP-DWI program can save lives; it could save your own or your family’s.

Since 1974, CASAC, a United Way supported agency, has provided prevention education and community awareness regarding alcohol and other drugs. CASAC is the only New York State Office of Alcoholism & Substance Abuse Services (OASAS) approved and supported alcohol and other drug prevention agency in Chautauqua County.

For further information about CASAC programs and services, call the Jamestown office at 664-3608, or the Dunkirk office at 366-4623, or go to CASAC’s website, www. casacweb.org.

Dunkirk’s Music at the Pier: Revolver

By Mallory Diefenbach Star News Writer

One of Rochester’s most popular bands will be coming to Dunkirk at the Pier on Aug. 30. Revolver, which was founded in 1976, will be performing rock and roll of the 1960s and early 1970s, most notably music from the Beatles, Monkees, Rolling Stones, Cream, Yardbirds and many more.

Over the years, Revolver has had four reincarnations since its founding. According to the Revolver’s website, the orginialrevolver.com, the first incarnation of Revolver was from 1976 to 1980. John Yeara (drums), Bruce Hummel (bass) and Mark Guarino (guitar) met in while in high school. Yeara met Guarino on a summer little league team where Guarino’s older brother was the coach. They found they had a common interest; the Beatles. Yeara introduced Guarino to

his friend Bruce Hummel, who was also a Beatles fan.

Guarino had the instruments and amps and knew a little guitar. Hummel and Yeara couldn’t play, but worked very hard to learn their instruments. Later in 1976, Yeara saw a Peter Frampton concert which inspired him to step out from behind the drums and play guitar with the help of Guarino. Greg Tadaro took over on drums and later was joined by Dan Saltzman on keyboards. Their first gig was in June of 1977.

Shortly after Hummel left and Guarino switched to bass.

Matt Peterson took over as lead guitarist. There were a couple more changes before they broke up in early 1980.

The second incarnation was from 1996 to 1999. Yeara was performing with the Connectors, who were splitting up, and Guarino was performing with Ruby Shooz. Guarino was leaving the band to spend more time with family and the

two decide to reform Revolver, this time as a Beatles only tribute band. Two other guys, a drummer and a guitarist, soon joined them. The group enjoyed a lot of success as a four piece performing more concerts and special shows than just clubs. The act was in three sets; the first as the Cavern Club Beatles, the second set was 1963-1966 and the third set was the Pepper Beatles through the end.

The third incarnation was from 1999 to 2007. After a lucrative gig at the Rochester Yacht Club, there was another gig coming up at the same venue, so Yeara called Tim Coon and Guarino back to rejoin. He also contacted Rich Bunce, the former keyboard player with The Connectors.

Yeara’s good friend Garrett Crumb, the lead singer from Johnny Smoke, also joined them on vocals and acoustic guitar. Later, they still wanted another singer and guitarist.

Coon contacted J.R. Grant, who he had performed with in Red Creek.

Coon, however, had serious family matters and had to depart. The guys contacted their bass player from the Connectors, Doug Campbell. During this time, Bunce left and was replaced by Vinnie Randazzo.

Around 2004 Grant left to attend to family matters. He was replaced briefly by singer Frank Shrout, who was also from the Connectors. Shrout

was most well known as the founder of the East Coast Connection.

To finish off a couple gigs as Revolver in 2004, Crumb also joined them again to help out.

At that point, Yeara, Campbell, Guarino, and Randazzo joined Shrout and Cryssi Ferracio as the new East Coast Connection.

bass player from Revolver, Bruce Hummel, at a couple of funerals in 2009. They talked and decide to try playing together again. In searching for a drummer, they had an ad answered by John Borrelli, who shared their love of Beatles music. They wanted a fourth member and the search would take most of 2010.

Finally, Bob Mondy (Ruby Shooz) who had filled in with Yeara’s previous group NBT on keyboards agreed to come down and jam with them.

The chemistry between them was great and Mondy enjoyed the music they were doing, so Mondy agreed to join the band. As Yeara and Campbell were two out of the three of the founding members of Revolver, and the band was originally formed to perform mostly Beatles, they decided Revolver still had another chapter at least. This is right where they are right now.

The current band consists of John Yeara on guitar, Bob Mondy on keyboard, Nick Russo on drums and Ed Smith on bass.

They will be playing from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and will be sponsored by City of Dunkirk Employees Local 912.

Ninth Annual Local Music Showcase is Sept. 8 in Downtown Jamestown

Local Musicians, Downtown Businesses show their support for Infinity Contributed Article Infinity Performing Arts

Local music fans will once again descend upon downtown Jamestown to show their support for music and arts education in Chautauqua County. The ninth annual Local Music Showcase (LMS) is set to take place on Saturday, Sept. 8 at nine participating venues with all proceeds once again going to Infinity Visual and Performing Arts.

“LMS is our biggest fundraiser of the year, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to support instruction costs at Infinity,” explains Infinity Executive Director Shane Hawkins.

Hawkins adds that each year LMS is only made possible through collaboration between local businesses, musicians and volunteers.

“This event would not be possible without the support of the local venues, business owners, local musicians, sound technicians and the team of over 50 volunteers that donate their time each year to make this event possible.” she says. “All of the nine participating venues this year and many of the performers and volunteers have been strong supporters of LMS every year. It’s a wonderful community effort to support arts education and local music, and a terrific night of local entertainment.”

Because LMS is the programs single biggest fundraiser of the year, support from the entire community is crucial, especially with repeated and wide spread funding cuts to arts and youth programs the past few years.

“It’s important that the community understand that much of our program relies on donations and fundraising efforts like this one,” says Hawkins. “Currently, just .042 percent of our operating budget comes from government-related sources, while nearly ten percent comes from fundraising events like LMS. Obviously, we want to encourage anyone in the community who wishes to support arts education to try and make it out to at least one LMS venue this year.”

The Lineup A total of 40 different acts will be participating in this year’s LMS at nine different downtown venues. Participating Venues are: Mojos, Shawbucks, The Pub, Labyrinth Press Company, Forte, The Wine Cellar, Suburban Blend, The Reg Studio Theater, and Infinity Arts Café.

Musical acts are: GAHU Drum Ensemble, SYMBA,

Bowling Kids of America, Collective Groove, Weeirdo Drum Ensemble, Nick Kilpatrick and Sara Rafaloski, Bill Ward, Mike Brunacini, Brian Hanna, Cryptic Yeast, Andy White, Claud Schuckers, I am Frankie Scrapmetal, The Elektra Kings, Oliver Burdo, the Haunted Heart Band, Tara Lamont Eastman, Crippled Fingers, Doc & Bill, Steel Rails, Sean Lander, Joey Cobra, Higher Ground, Thee Audience, Voodoo Brother, Smackdab, Beyond the Illusion, Hi-Fidelity, Lion Avalanche, Otis, Oxenwings, DJ80N3, Rat Ivy, Hot Stenographer, The Bogarts, Blind Society, Amber Lee & The Hallow Society, Cindy Haight & Paul Liuzzo, Andy Conti and Gary Peters, Jr. A complete line up of all acts and corresponding venues can be found online at www. infinityperformingarts. blogspot.com. Event posters listing the lineup can also be found throughout downtown and at participating venues the day of LMS. The cost to attend LMS is $10, which will pay for an all-access wristband that will get attendees into any and all participating venues. Pre-sale event tickets can be purchased at Infinity Visual and Performing Arts Center at 115 3rd Street and exchanged for wristbands the evening of the event. Wristbands can also be purchased the day of the event at participating venues.

For more information, call (716) 664-0991 or visit www. infinityperformingarts.org.

About LMS: The Chautauqua Region Word newspaper organized the first Local Music Showcase, which was held in 2004 in Bemus Point, N.Y. In 2006, the event was moved to downtown Jamestown to accommodate the increased number of bands and musicians who were interested participating. All proceeds collected from the benefit have gone directly to fund arts education at Infinity Visual and Performing Arts, Inc. About Infinity: Infinity Visual and Performing Arts, Inc. is dedicated to building the resiliency of our community’s youth by providing unique opportunity through access to the arts. More than a place, more than a program, Infinity is a chance for youth to become immersed in arts and learning, to take creative risks, and to discover their infinite potential.

The featured performers for the final performance of the 2012 Entertainment in the Park Summer Concert Series will be ‘The Lake Effect’, an all-male a cappella group hailing from the Buffalo, NY area.

The concert will take place on Thursday, Aug. 30 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Lakeside Park, Mayville, NY (located about a mile south of the uptown Route 394 and 430 intersection along Route 394).

Members of the group are Jamie Holden, Tenor; Matthew Sciara, Bass; Lou Shafer, Tenor/Vocal Percussion; Jeff Trenchard, Tenor; and Ron Veiders, Baritone. This fivemember all-male a cappella group performs covers as well as original songs. The band was formed some years ago so that new and intricate a cappella music of both original and popular tunes can be appreciated by audiences of all ages. The group doesn’t use any musical instruments in their performances. They are a very talented group of performers who give another definition to the term ‘the lake effect’. To them it’s “a group of five men unified in one common goal; the promotion and performance of all-male a cappella music”.

Rainbow the Clown (Jerry Stimson) will be on hand for this final 2012 season performance to entertain the children with face painting and balloon sculptures. Rainbow is a favorite with the children and they’re sure to have a great time, as well. The Entertainment in the Park musical performances are provided free to the public through the sponsorship and support of the Village of Mayville and Town of Chautauqua. In case of rain, the performance will take place at the Carlson Community Center also located at Lakeside Park, Mayville.

Remember to bring your own seating for the outdoor performance. Seating will be provided if the performance is held in the Community Center. A 50/50 drawing will be held at each of the concerts this summer, the winner being announced just before the end of the performance.

Renowned Artist Christo to Present at SUNY Fredonia Contributed Article SUNY Fredonia

The celebrated artist Christo, whose acclaim in the world of environmental art looms as large as his world-renowned installations, will appear at SUNY Fredonia this fall as a guest of the college’s Department of Visual Arts and New Media, and as a part of the campus’ Inauguration Week activities.

“This is a rare opportunity to bring one of the most internationally renowned visual artists to our campus,” said Distinguished Professor of Visual Arts and New Media Alberto Rey. “Each of his projects receives a tremendous amount of international recognition in the media and the art world. His work has changed the way many people look at the idea of ‘art’.”

Christo will deliver a lecture/ slide presentation Tuesday, Sept. 18, at 7 p.m. in King Concert Hall. It is free and open to the public, but tickets are required and are available at the campus Ticket Office in the William Center beginning Aug. 27.

Christo’s visit has been made possible by a generous gift from Cathy Marion (’79), director of the Marion Foundation and a member of the Fredonia College Foundation Board of Directors, and her husband, Jesse Marion, president of Marion Investments. The couple, whose previous generosity to campus is reflected in the recently renovated Marion Art Gallery in the Rockefeller Arts Center, is thrilled to be able to bring such a globally celebrated artist to Fredonia.

Born in Bulgaria in 1935, Christo studied in Sofia and in Vienna and was a portrait artist in Paris, where he met his

future wife and collaborator, Jeanne-Claude. In 1964, they relocated to New York City.

His earliest sculptures were made of bottles and cans that were sometimes wrapped in paper, plastic or fabric.

Working together with JeanneClaude (who passed away in 2009), Christo made his mark in the world of art by creating controversial outdoor sculptures often using fabric that forced observers to confront questions regarding the nature of art.

Their early works included: “Dockside Packages” (1961, Cologne); “Iron Curtain – Wall of Oil Drums” (1962, Paris); and “Corridor Store Front” (1968, New York City). Their installations grew substantially with a suspended 42,390-cubic-foot air package in Minneapolis and wrapped buildings in Chicago and Switzerland. These were followed by even larger projects, such as “Valley Curtain” (1972, Colorado); “Running Fence” (1976, Marin and Sonoma counties in California) and “Surrounded Islands” (1983, Biscayne Bay, Fla.).

The couple wrapped the Pont Neuf Bridge in Paris with beige cloth in 1985. In Japan, 1,340 giant blue umbrellas were installed across the Sato River Valley and 1,760 giant yellow ones were placed in Tejon Pass, Calif.

In just 16 days, more than four million people saw “The Gates,” a 23-mile-long installation comprised of 7,503 vinyl gates with free-flowing, saffron-colored cloth panels in New York’s Central Park in 2005.

Each project was a major undertaking, consisting of detailed planning and construction phases, permits and environmental impact

documentation, and requiring hundreds of workers to install and remove. Installation sites were restored to their original condition and materials recycled after the art work was taken down.

Though short-lived – lasting anywhere from eight hours to six months – their outdoor sculptures have been seen by people of all walks of life, including people who don’t routinely visit museums.

A direct SUNY Fredonia connection to Christo facilitated this campus visit.

“Having a faculty member (Alberto Rey) who had worked on a couple of Christo’s projects gave us a window of opportunity to approach him. He

was immediately receptive to the idea,” said Visual Arts and New Media Chair and Distinguished Teaching Professor Bob Booth. “I’m sure it would have been more difficult without Alberto’s connection.”

One of Christo’s upcoming projects is “Over the River,” featuring nearly six miles of silver-colored fabric panels draped in sections over of a 42-mile stretch of the Arkansas River in Colorado’s Bighorn Canyon. Exhibition is anticipated in August 2015, following a 28-month installation.

There's a lot to fix It's time to put an experienced, persistent, and independent voice back in Albany!

As a former State Senator, I was known for my willingness to take on the big issues. I’d built a reputation for holding the government’s feet to the fire, fighting to balance the priorities of how we raise money, and how we spend it.

New York State needs to get its priorities right. There are politicians and special interests that want to raise a fast buck by pumping millions of gallons of cancer causing ingredients into the ground. Ironically, many of these are the same people that voted to reduce the research funding for Roswell Park Cancer Institute. With the growing demand for health care, we should be investing and creating more jobs, not cutting.

A recent Buffalo News editorial framed this issue perfectly: “Because of policies adopted in Albany, New York owns one of the nation's worst business climates.

Its electric rates are among the highest. The cumulative tax bill paid by New Yorkers is one of the nation's highest.”

“Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo swept into office pledging to attack the Albany monster that has devoured the state's prosperity and, for the most part, he has been as good as his word. But years of unwise policies have allowed destructive forces to seep into just about every facet of life in New York. Cuomo and the Legislature have a lot of work to do.”

I'm ready to tackle the issues in Albany once again. I have the will to carry on the fight, the independence to make Western New York's voice heard, and the experience to make an impact.

Flavor of the Week

August 23, 2012 Edition – Main Section – A

the Chautauqua Star Staff Breathtaking views, historical landmarks, fishing spots, homemade food and a full service market are hidden not too far from the 90 Thruway and Route 5 in Westfield. With so many things to do, the Herbert family and Barcelona Market Cafe want to be there to keep travelers ready for fun.

Store owner Nancy Herbert is constantly working on creating a place where customers can stop and grab whatever they need while they are traveling.

That’s why she offers gas, kerosine, UPS shipping, lottery, snacks, drinks, sign ups for local fishing events and more. “I try to think about what a tourist would pick up when they are on the road. Plus, I cater to the local fisherman’s needs. I feel like the community has to work together to try and keep the visitors here,” she said.

Before purchasing the shop

she worked at SUNY Fredonia for 19 years. She loves working with people in the public so she decided to go into business with her daughter Lisa.

Since then it has grown from a very small market into a large store with a restaurant attached. Most of the remodeling was done by Lisa’s husband Kris. In January it will be the 9th year since the store opened. Nancy hopes to have a celebration for the 10th anniversary since there wasn’t really a grand opening.

Gasoline isn’t the only type of fuel one can find at the Barcelona Market Cafe. The restaurant features a casual and laid back atmosphere.

Kids are welcome and customers can come in right off the beach to enjoy a good meal with friendly service. Beer and wine is served for those who want to have a drink with their meal.

Almost everything on the

menu is home made by Nancy’s daughter Lisa Haltiner. “It’s a pretty large menu and it has something for everyone.

We try to cater to our customers. So, if we have it, I’ll make it,” said Lisa.

Breakfast is a big deal at Barcelona Market Cafe. Lisa tries to source everything as local as possible. An example is that local Harrington maple syrup from Westfield is featured with the pancakes.

A few of the items on the menu are named after customers. For instance, the Open Faced Wilson is an array of sorted veggies on grilled rye topped with a blend of melted cheese and served with fruit.

Another example is the One

Eyed Jack, a pancake with a surprise egg in the middle.

“The customer always wanted an egg with their pancake so we decided to put it inside for them. We get a lot of questions about how we get the egg in it,” said Lisa.

One of the main features of on menu are the Shipwreck Sandwiches. The unique items are all named after Lisa’s father.

He scuba dives in Lake Erie to explore sunken shipwrecks.

Customers can take a dive with Osprey Charters and Captain Jim Herbert. Then, they can go to the restaurant to eat the sandwich named after the shipwreck they just explored.

For more information visit osprey-dive.com. “We took

his map and each of the locations he has been to we made a sandwich for. Whenever he does a new wreck we add a new sandwich to the menu or feature it as a special,” said Lisa.

Make sure to ask what is on special because there are always surprises to be discovered. The Gherkin is a good example, it is a pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw, macaroni salad and pineapple.

The menu also features many entree options for dinner on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Among these items is the fish fry. The perch is fresh from Westfield Fisheries. Patrons can also enjoy slow roasted prime rib, steaks, pork chops and other classics like spaghetti and meatballs.

Dessert is also a worthy part of the experience. The featured fruit pies are from Portage Pies. But, many of the other items are made in

house. For example, peanut butter pie and carrot cake. The Ice Cream Schooners are must try during the hot summer.

These ice cream sandwiches are made with homemade fresh baked cookies. There are chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin and occasionally peanut butter heath bar.

If you’re craving a freshly grilled chicken BBQ then stay outdoors. Lisa’s husband Kris is outside every other weekend during the summer. According to Lisa, it is a good idea to call to get on a list because they generally sell out. Each meal includes a half chicken, coleslaw and red potatoes. The popularity of the BBQ surely has something to do with the unique way Kris prepares the chicken. “I cook it with local black cherry wood so it is also smoked. Cherry has a very sweet tasting smoke and I also use a top secret marinade,” he said.

For those looking to eat healthy all they have to do is find the menu items marked with a lighthouse. There are close to 20 menu items for the more health conscious.

The Barcelona Market Cafe is sure to have something for whatever locals are craving.

Take a moment to relax and take in the beauty this unique location has to offer. Try taking Route 5 to catch the breathtaking view just before the lighthouse to accent the experience.

Barcelona Market Cafe is located at 8246 New York 5 in Westfield and is open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily and 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. For more information call 716-326-4504.

Ricky Skaggs Coming to Reg Lenna Contributed Article Len Barry

50 plus years of music history will be on display when Bluegrass legend Ricky Skaggs takes the Reg Lenna Civic Center stage this fall. Joined by longtime bandmates, Kentucky Thunder, Skaggs will perform one night only, Saturday Oct. 13 at 8 p.m. The show is open to the public.

As a five-year-old, Kentuckyborn Ricky Skaggs picked up his first mandolin.

He was soon playing to audiences in his community, and within a year, performed for his idol, Bill Monroe. By age seven, Skaggs had made his Grand Ole Opry debut and performed with bluegrass legends Flatt & Scruggs on their popular syndicated television show, for which he earned his first paycheck for a musical performance.

Throughout the 1970’s, Skaggs performed with Ralph Stanley, J.D. Crowe and the New South and Emmylou Harris’ Hot Band. In 1981, he struck out on his own and has continued with an award-winning stretch of albums, tours and other accolades. Among his honors are Youngest (at the time) Member of the Grand Ole Opry, Country Music Entertainer Of The Year and 12 consecutive Grammy nominations from his own record label.

Ricky Skaggs’ music, while based in the bluegrass tradition, has transcended genres over the years. His technical prowess has led to collabora-

Immunize Your Child Before the School Year Begins Contributed Article Chautauqua County Dept. of Health

are One of the most important sin things you can do to prepare tter your children for school is to get them vaccinated against serious childhood diseases like measles and whooping cough. tay In recent years, several imris munization requirements and end recommendations have been d- introduced. Keep your child’s vaccinations up to date. se h “Children of every age need n, to update their vaccinations The whether they will be in day ly care, preschool, kindergarten, he high school or college,” said he Christine Schuyler, Chautaual qua County Public Health lso Director.

“If your child has fallen lso behind, or started getting he vaccinated later than other children, ask your doctor for the ‘catch-up’ schedule. Health s clinics and doctors’ offices d are especially busy during the last few weeks of August, so e the it’s smart to make an appointment with your health care provider as early as possible,” she said. or Recent updates to immud nization requirements and ue recommendations include the following: -Children born on or after Jan. re 1, 2008, who are entering a child-care program need to be immunized against pneumococcal disease. in 7 .m. urcall

-Children born on or after Jan. 1, 2005, who are entering child-care programs or kindergarten, need to be immunized for tetanus and pertussis.

-Children born on or after Jan. 1, 1998, who will enter grades 6 through 12 for the 2012-2013 school year need to be immunized for varicella (chicken pox).

-Children must receive a booster dose of tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis containing vaccine (Tdap) if they were born on or after Jan. 1, 1994, and are entering grades 6 through 11 for the 2012-2013 school year.

-Everyone six months of age and older should get a flu vaccine every year. Have your child immunized against the flu as soon as vaccine is available.

New York State law requires that every child planning to go to a child-care center or school must be immunized against polio, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, varicella (chicken pox), Hib and pneumococcal disease.

Hib and pneumococcal disease immunizations are required for child-care and pre-kindergarten programs only.

For all adults, including students entering college, a

tetanus-diphtheria booster (Td) is recommended every 10 years. A second vaccine, Tdap, is the first vaccine for adolescents and adults that protects against pertussis as well as tetanus and diphtheria.

All adults ages 18-65 who have never received Tdap should get a dose of Tdap as their next booster dose.

New York State law also requires each student born on or after Jan. 1, 1957, to have one dose of mumps vaccine, one dose of rubella vaccine, and two doses of measles vaccine.

Being immunized against lifethreatening meningococcal disease is specifically recommended for college students.

Students should check their immunization record with their health care provider or high school to be certain they meet these requirements.

Schuyler recommends that students stay up to date with all of their immunizations, not just those that are required by law or for entering school.

For more information about immunizations, visit the State Health Department Web site at http://www.health. ny.gov/prevention/immunization. To schedule appointments for vaccines call the Chautauqua County Health Department at 1-866604-6789.

Visitors Bureau Announces Colors of Chautauqua Fall Learning Festival Contributed Article CCVB

The Chautauqua County Visitors Bureau in southwestern New York State announces the addition of Colors of Chautauqua, a fall learning festival, to the line-up of events in the region. Following in the footsteps of two successful Chautauqua in June learning festivals, the fall event is held in the tradition of lifelong learning popularized by Chautauqua Institution more than 138 years ago. Visitors as well as residents can register for classes and learn kitchen and gardening techniques, take lessons in creating artwork and crafts, join guided walking tours, discover ways to research family history, and expand their knowledge of local foods, wine, and beer. The two week schedule from Oct. 5 to Oct. 21 includes more than 40 different workshops.

Classes are held in both indoor and outdoor classrooms across Chautauqua County.

Pathways to Music Fall Term to Start Sept. 11, 15

Contributed Article SUNY Fredonia School of Music

The Musical Journeys Program of the Fredonia School of Music is excited to be continuing its Pathways to Music program this fall in the gymnasium of the Campus & Community Children’s Center.

Pathways to Music provides an opportunity for children and parents to discover the joys of experiencing music while singing, moving, listening, dancing and playing. The Program is designed for children ages six months through five years old.

Each class is a combination of age-appropriate musical activities including songs, finger plays, dances, bouncing games, circle games, instrument exploration, lullabies and more. In a playful manner, children will be gaining a wide appreciation of music while developing language, motor, creative and social skills.

The weekly classes are for one child and one accompanying parent or guardian. Three classes will be offered this fall. Pioneers (ages six to 24 months) will meet on Saturdays from 9:30 to 10:00 a.m.; Explorers (two and three-year-

Furthering Medicine: Westfield’s Great Lakes Medical Research

By Patricia Pihl Managing Editor

At the heart of all medical advances that look at new ways to prevent, detect, or treat disease are clinic trials. The success of research depends on volunteers- both healthy and those diagnosed with an illness, to uncover medical breakthroughs. Treatments might be new or combinations of drugs, new surgical procedures or devices, or new ways to use existing treatments.

Over the last 13 years, Great Lakes Medical Research in Westfield has involved volunteers from Chautauqua County in clinical trials – some of which have been global studies with groundbreaking implications. The research facility is the only one of its kind in the county and involves around 300 participants in studies contracted through large pharmaceutical companies and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Working in cooperation with Westfield Family Physicians, Great Lakes screens potential patients for inclusion in studies. Leading the research is Dr. Donald Brautigam, M.D, who is referred to as a principal investigator (PI). Drs. Timothy Gorman and Timothy Kitchen serve as sub investigators, and there is also a team of professionals responsible for adherence to a strict code of protocols and data collection.

According to site manager Melissa Lyon, the first big study conducted by Great Lakes was ALLHAT (The Antihypertensive and Lipid-Lowering Treatment to Prevent Heart Attack Trial) and the ACCORD Trials (Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes).

Lyon said that both were “huge studies” with over 100 participants, a database which is drawn largely from those receiving care at Westfield Family Physicians. After completion of those two large studies, pharmaceutical companies began to contact Great Lakes for other research studies.

Potential participants are screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria of each study and once identified, are then contacted to see if they would like to be part of a particular study. They are then given details about tests, procedures, medication and dosages that will be administered to them and for a period of time, determined by the trial.

Lyon said Great Lakes doesn’t conduct testing but rather ships blood and other data to a central lab where samples from all participating trial sites are tested. An important part is the quality control process to ensure that review protocols are followed exactly and data has been collected properly.

Significant Findings According to Dr. Brautigam, the ALLHAT study was the largest study ever conducted on hypertension, and resulted in several important findings.

“One was that older, generic medications worked just as well to treat hypertension,” a finding he says that would save $2 billion a year in healthcare costs.

In addition, Great Lakes was the only rural site in the Northeast to participate in the ACCORD study which included 10,000 diabetic patients in the US and Canada. “The

it continues to be traced for safety in Stage IV trials. Drugs found to adversely affect some users may be voluntarily pulled by some pharmaceutical companies. Stage IV studies also look at new uses for drugs that have been found to be beneficial for other conditions.

According to Brautigam Great Lakes usually conducts Phase II- Phase IV studies, and adds that over the years, what has been considered an “acceptable risk” for a drug has gotten lower and lower, according to Brautigam.

The tests also come at a cost.

“For the average drug that has come to market in the US, the drug company has had to invest over 600 million dollars.“ “It’s about For most patients involved answering in the studies it’s a win-win bigger questions situation, according to Lyon.

The Edwards Waterhouse Inn held their Grand Opening on Wed., August 15 with a Champagne christening by Fredonia Mayor Steve Keefe and Innkeepers Maggie BryanPeterson and Jeff Peterson.

The Inn, located at 71 Central Avenue, Fredonia, NY, is the only Bed and Breakfast located within the Village of Fredonia.

The Peterson’s were joined by over 50 friends, supporters and business associates as they received a warm welcome to the Fredonia business community and gave tours of the Inn. Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce Director of Member Development Greg Krauza served as the Master of Ceremonies and several community leaders spoke. Brian Lydic of Lake Shore Savings,

primary financial partner and Jeff Ingerson, primary contractor, both expressed gratitude over their role with the project. Mayor Steve Keefe stated “With this group gathered we see community, and with this property we see history. Combine that with the dreams, goals and ambitions of the Peterson’s and you have what entrepreneurship is all about.” Maggie BryanPeterson thanked the many people who helped make this project happen are encouraged all those in attendance to spread the word that the Inn was open and ready to receive guests.

The Bed and Breakfast was named after the original owner, F.S Edwards, and Dr. John Waterhouse, who transformed the property to the magnificent Queen Anne Victorian it is today. The original construc-

tion took place around 1850 and Dr. Waterhouse more than doubled the size in 1895.

The house has seen many uses including as a sanitarium, a woman’s college dormitory (known as “Alumni Hall”) and an apartment building.

The Edwards Waterhouse Inn had five elegant rooms that each have private baths, wireless internet, air conditioning and TV. The Common Areas include the Grand Parlor; the Receiving Room; the Morning Room; a Media/Library room and a Fitness Center. There are many unique pieces of furniture throughout including a chinoisserie china cabinet from Union National in Jamestown, NY.

Rotarians Hear About Member’s Far East Adventures Contributed Article Rotary Club of Jamestown

Dave Troxell, a member of the Rotary Club of Jamestown, spoke to the Club recently regarding his work and travels in Japan, Bangkok and Thailand. Dave grew up on Creek Road between Busti and Sugar Grove.

After finishing high school, Dave went to Valparaiso University near Chicago, on scholarship. It was his first big city experience but not his last as he had the opportunity to study at Cambridge University in England for his last semester. After graduation he moved to California, where he continued his education at California State University in Sonoma and earned his master’s degree in Clinical Psychology. He practiced in the San Francisco Bay area for the next 7-8 years.

At age 30, Dave married his wife Marissa and decided to change careers and move to Seattle. His new career involved the development of 600 acres into Frontier Airpark, a private residential community for pilots and their aircraft. In the 1990’s, Dave and Marissa decided to combine their love of international travel and teaching English in a way that would be worthwhile and additive to global communication and understanding. After earning a PhD and an MA in English respectively, the Troxell’s spent the next 18 years teaching in Japan where they lived in Maebashi, a town of 385,000, only 12 of which were

not Japanese. Dave taught English to Japanese medical students.

Maebashi has four distinct seasons, very much like western New York. Troxell described their lives in this fascinating city including their clothing, customs, food options, sightseeing and the many, colorful community festivals with beautiful native costumes and floats.

The Troxell’s bought a small, six room hotel in Banyu, Bali where Dave’s first Rotary experience was hosting doctors at the hotel, who were working with the Rotary cleft palate project, PROJECT SMILE. Last year the Troxell’s retired and left Japan. They now spend summers in Jamestown,

where he joined the local club, and winters in Cho Ann, Thailand. This year while in Thailand, Troxell had the opportunity to attend the International Rotary Convention, with more than 38,000 Rotarians from around the world.

The Princess of Thailand gave the welcoming address to no applause, as it is considered disrespectful. Everyone stands for the king’s song when she enters and remained standing for the duration of her speech.

The attendees at the international conference displayed a great deal of pride to be Rotarians. Troxell sees the Four Way Test of Rotary, the credo of Rotary, as a way to create a world that works for everyone and will promote world peace.

Do all businesses need a marketing plan?

A sole proprietorship business needs a plan just as much as a huge corporation does. Every business, regardless of size, benefits from clear planning and intelligent use of financial and human resources.

No business can prosper over time if its resources are squandered on wasteful advertising and poorly managed initiatives. The most successful businesses guide their course over time working toward attainable goals. They track and evaluate the success of products, services and profits to move forward.

Just as you wouldn’t leave your house for the West Coast without a map or compass, you can’t expect your business to be successful without a marketing plan. Plan ahead, get directions and find the best route to your destination of success.

take a shorter trip, and the remaining four percent will travel by an alternate mode of transportation.

Impact of gasoline prices on travel plans Gas prices have fluctuated and been particularly sensitive to region variations throughout much of the year. On April 17, motorists in Buffalo experienced year-to-date peak average price of $4.12 per gallon for regular gasoline. The current average in Buffalo is $3.84 per gallon, 28 cents lower than the April peak. The national average for a gallon of gasoline is currently $3.71, while the New York State average sits at $3.94.

As the Labor Day holiday weekend approaches, increases in gas prices could cause some travelers to alter their plans.

Conversely, falling prices could spur last-minute travel increases.

Automobile travel up 3.1 percent Approximately 28.2 million people (85 percent of holiday travelers) will make their Labor Day holiday journey by automobile. This is a 3.1 percent increase over the 27.3 million people who took to the nation’s roadways in 2011.

Number of air travelers expected to increase by 3.7 About 2.55 million leisure travelers (eight percent of holiday travelers) will fly during the Labor Day weekend, a 3.7 percent increase over 2011 when 2.46 million traveled by air.

The remaining seven percent of Labor Day holiday travelers are expected to use other modes of transportation, including cruise ship, rail and bus travel accounting for 2.3 million Americans - a nominal 0.2 percent decrease over last year.

Average travel distance increases, spending up The average distance traveled by Americans during the Labor Day holiday weekend is expected to be 626 miles, up slightly from last year’s average 608 miles. Despite the longer average travel distance, most holiday travelers (54 percent) will be taking shorter-distance trips, between 100 and 400 round-trip miles. The increase in expected air travel is a contributing factor to the slight lift in the average travel distance as air trips typically span longer distances than automobile trips, many over 1,500 roundtrip miles.

Median spending is expected to be $749, a small increase over the $702 median spending of intended holiday travelers in 2011.

Travelers to experience increase in hotel rates, decrease in airfares and car rental rates

According to AAA’s Leisure Travel Index, Labor Day holiday hotel rates for AAA Three Diamond lodgings are expected to increase four percent from a year ago with travelers spending an average of $154 per night compared to $148 last year. Airfares decreased four percent over last year with an average lowest round-trip rate of $197 for the top 40 U.S. air routes. Weekend daily car rental rates will average $39, a ten percent decrease from one year ago.

As Upstate New York’s largest member services organization, AAA provides nearly 860,000 members with travel, insurance, financial and automotive related services. Since its founding in 1900, AAA has been a leading advocate for the safety and security of all travelers. Visit AAA at www.

ALA, continued from page 6 has skyrocketed. Sadly as the tobacco industry spends millions of dollars targeting rural youth, these youth are less likely to be exposed to tobacco counter-marketing campaigns.

Rural tobacco users are also less likely to have access to tobacco cessation programs and services to get the help they need to quit.

Many rural states have low tobacco taxes. Raising tobacco prices is a proven strategy to reduce tobacco use. In New York, the tobacco tax is $4.35, which is the highest in the nation and higher than the current average state cigarette tax of $1.46 per pack. Promotion of the availability of state quitsmoking counseling services by phone and online resources also lags across the country.

“This report is a valuable tool that aligns with New York State’s policy-focused, population-based Tobacco Control Program aimed at reducing cigarette usage in our communities,” said State Health Commissioner Nirav R. Shah, M.D., M.P.H. “The Health Department’s antitobacco media campaigns, strong Medicaid smoking cessation benefit and other program activities and actions are important resources for all New Yorkers, including our rural residents.”

The American Lung Association in New York is calling on government agencies, the research and funding community, health systems and insurers, community leaders, schools and families to take steps now to cut tobacco’s rural roots. “Rural communities here in New York and across

the country need special attention if we’re going to make a major dent in tobacco prevalence,” said Michael Seilback, Vice President of Public Policy and Communications at the American Lung Association of the Northeast in the Long Island office.

“If residents, community leaders, organizations and decision-makers all work together, we can make progress in reducing the health disparity caused by tobacco use in rural communities.”

The American Lung Association offers smoking cessation resources to help people quit smoking for good. In New York, 15.5 percent of the total adult population smokes and overall, more than 12 percent lives in rural areas: Freedom From Smoking® is a program that teaches the skills and techniques that have been proven to help hundreds of thousands of adults quit smoking. Freedom From Smoking is available as a group clinic, an online program and a self-help book.

Not-On-Tobacco® (N-O-T) is a group program designed to help 14 to 19 year old smokers end their addiction to nicotine. The curriculum consists of ten 50-minute sessions that typically occur once a week for 10 weeks.

The Lung HelpLine, 1-800-LUNG-USA, offers one-on-one support from registered nurses and respiratory therapists. Individuals have the opportunity to seek guidance on lung health and find out how to participate in and join the Lung Association

smoking cessation programs.

In addition to expanding the Lung Association’s capability to provide its programs and services to the rural community, there are also several other action steps to reduce rural tobacco use. These steps are detailed in the full report, and include that state and federal tobacco control programs must make a concerted effort and dedicate funding to reach rural communities; the research community should focus attention and resources on identifying effective cessation treatments for smokeless tobacco use; and school, health and employment systems in rural areas must all implement effective tobacco control strategies including smoke-free air policies and access to cessation services.

About the American Lung Association of the Northeast The American Lung Association of the Northeast is part of the American Lung Association, the oldest voluntary health organization in the U.S. Established in 1904 to combat tuberculosis; our mission today is to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease. The focus is on air quality, asthma, tobacco control, and all lung disease.

Q&A

To stop begging, stop giving in Q: How can I get my dog to stop begging? — via Facebook A: If you never want your dog to stick her nose in your plate, put her head on your knee or paw at your arm, then don’t ever reward her with food when she does.

What if it’s too late for that?

With patience and consistency, you can change your dog’s behavior by never rewarding the begging again. When your dog finally becomes convinced that she will never again see another piece of food delivered from off your plate, she’ll stop asking. You can also have her practice a behavior that’s incompatible with having her nose on your knee — a down-stay on the other side of the room while you’re eating.

But be warned: If you’re inconsistent, you’ll actually make the problem worse. Occasionally rewarding a behavior occasionally is called random reinforcement, and it’s a powerful motivator. In fact, it’s what keeps the gambling industry afloat.

Even though gamblers know the house always wins, they keep pulling the handle on those slot machines because they get a little back now and then, and because sometimes they hit the jackpot. Dog trainers use these principles to instill good behaviors in dogs, but many pet lovers inadvertently use them to teach a dog bad habits — like begging.

Preventing a problem is always easier than fixing one.

When you get a dog, think about the house rules you want, and insist on them from day one.

If you have a beggar on your hands, realize the fault is yours — and be determined to be consistent in turning the situation around. — Gina Spadafori Do you have a pet question?

PLAY IT SAFE

Teach your children how to act if a dog seems dangerous

E

very fall as kids go back to school, we like to remind everyone of the importance of teaching youngsters how to be safe around dogs. And while children are 10 times more likely to be hurt in organized sports than be bitten by a dog, the risks of the latter can and should be minimized.

Wal-Mart is aiming for an even larger share of the millions spent on pet food every year.

• With its Ol’ Roy long the dominant player in the lowend segment of the pet-food market, Wal-Mart is upping the ante with the introduction of a premium food called Pure Balance. Industry analysts told DVM360.com that the move puts the big-box retailer in a position to challenge PetSmart and Petco for an even bigger share of the $21 billion spent annually on pet food in the United States. Wal-Mart previously moved to draw pet lovers in with the launch of PetArmor, a generic version of the blockbuster flea-and-tick product Frontline.

• Citing slow donations because of the economy, the American Animal Hospital Association has shut down its Helping Pets fund. The group provided grants to help people struggling to pay veterinary bills for sick or injured pets. The VIN News Service reports that the fund paid $1 million to help more than 4,000 pets over the seven years since its founding.

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pet of the Week

Pet of the Week This week we are featuring “Jessica”. She is a 1 1/2 –year-old female cat that has been at the Chautauqua County Humane Society since November, 2011. She was found on the streets, homeless, and a nice person took care of her until she could come to the shelter. Jessica has coloring that is quite unique and beautiful. She has gotten quite a bit “fluffy” from being in a cage for so long and would love a home where she could play and move around to lose those couple of extra pounds. If you have space in your home and your heart for Jessica, stop by the Strunk Road Adoption Center and meet her. She is usually roaming the lobby, waiting to meet her new family. Jessica’s adoption fee has been reduced thanks to a grant from The Chautauqua Region Community Foundation.

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

Prendergast Library will offer children the experience of reading to three Certified Good Citizen dogs during the last two weeks of August.

Cody and Jackson, two Golden Retrievers, and Hunter, a Labrador, will take turns listening to children from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Thursdays and Fridays Aug. 23-24 and Aug. 30-31.

Parents are asked to come to the library to sign a permission form to

Library to Host Reading Dogs

reserve a 15-minute time slot with a dog for their young reader. Time slots are limited and reservations are required. A legal guardian must accompany the child, and the dog’s handler will also be present.

Maggie Irwin and Cathy Panebianco are providing the opportunity by bringing the dogs to the library.

Children are asked to select the book they would like to read before their appointment.

“This is an exciting event for the library, with school just about to begin,” according to Children’s

Librarian Valle Blair.

“Dogs make no judgments about how well a child reads. They do not correct the child for each mistake as caring adults will sometimes do.

By this simple act of acceptance, the child will gain a greater confidence and enjoyment in reading,” Mrs. Blair said.

She recommended the website www.librarydogs.com for anyone interested in learning more about how dogs make reading fun and motivate children to read better.

“The philosophy is children are not

just learning how to read, they’re learning to love to read,” she said.

Cody is one of three Certified Good Citizen dogs who will listen to children read at Prendergast Library starting Aug. 23. From 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Thursdays and Fridays during the last two weeks of August, young people who want to practice reading aloud will find a patient canine companion.

County Sports Hall Of Fame A Must See

By Chris Winkler

GIFT CERTIFICATES FOR THE GRADUATE

NOW AVAILABLE DOWNTOWN FREDONIA 38 Temple Street 673-3086

Star Sports Editor

Mon–Th 8 am – 6 pm, Fri 8 am – 8 pm Sat 10 am – 3 pm, Sun Closed

Located on 15 W. Third Street in downtown Jamestown, the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame is becoming a must see for all county residents. With recent additions over the past year, the Hall of Fame offers a little bit for every sports fan out there.

The biggest attraction on right now is the Huge Bedient exhibit, which has been a yearlong project of the Hall of Fame in recognizing the former Boston Red Sox starting pitcher from nearby Falconer. The 100-year anniversary celebrates the Red Sox 1912 World Series championship in which Bedient won 20 games during the regular season and went 1-0 with a 0.50 earned run average in four games in the World Series. The Hall of Fame has been behind two events this year, one along with Falconer Central School District and one with the Jamestown Jammers.

Their next event, Oct. 20 will honor Bedient by awarding his family with the 1912 Rookie of the Year award, which was given to Bedient posthumously by the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR). More details on the event will be announced soon.

But, as Hall of Fame President Randy Anderson said, there is much more inside. Some of the more noteworthy things on display include a section for Stanford women’s basketball coach Tara VanDerveer (inducted in 2010), who owns a home at the Chautauqua Institution and has vacationed there since she was 8 years old. She’s won more than 800 games and two national championships in her illustrious ca-

reer at Ohio State and Stanford and was also the U.S. national women’s team coach in 1996. A signed basketball along with other photos of VanDerveer is on exhibit.

Other great spectacles include the boxing robe used by Jimmy Clark in the 1936 Olympics, an official jersey given to Philadelphia Eagles linemen Jim McCusker honoring the 1960 NFL championship team, and numerous autographed jerseys by former guest speakers at the Hall of Fame’s annual induction ceremonies.

Clark moved to Jamestown a year before the summer Olympics in 1936 and lived there until his death in 1994. Most famously, Clark lost on a controversial decision in the quarterfinals to a Polish boxer, which of course pointed to a fixing from

the Adolph Hitler regime, which was pushing the Aryan supremacy.

Clark’s robe hangs on a wall next to his sparring gloves and includes a few artifacts from his career.

McCusker, owner of The Pub, just around the corner from the Hall of Fame, starred at Jamestown High School before attending the University of Pittsburgh. He played seven years in the NFL and was on the world champion Eagles in 1960, a team that was later honored and were given jerseys which is on display at the Hall of Fame.

In one of the newer remodeled rooms, more than a dozen autographed jerseys hang of past guest speakers at induction ceremonies. If you’re a Bills fan, it’s a sight to see.

Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas and

many others jerseys from the Super Bowls years are on display. Also hanging up on the wall is Buffalo Sabres defenseman Tyler Myers, former NHL-er Kevyn Adams (native of Buffalo who also has a home in Bemus Point) and former NASCAR drive Kyle Petty, who Anderson, a huge NASCAR fan himself, raved about his experience with the former driver.

Much more sits on display than this space or my rambling writing technique allows, but another mustsee is a tribute to the Jamestown Red Raider football team, which included three rings from the former state championship squads over the last 20 years. And of course, a Continued on pg 2

Meredith Serves As Coaching Mentor Once Again Contributed Article Fredonia Sports Information

FREDONIA, N.Y. — The Jeff Meredith Coaching Tree has sprouted another limb.

T.J. Manastersky, a Fredonia State assistant hockey coach the past three seasons, earlier this week accepted the head coaching post at Curry College in Milton, Mass.

The Colonels are members of NCAA Division III and the ECAC Northeast Conference.

Manastersky will become — by Meredith's count — the seventh former Blue Devil assistant coach to move on to another college, as either a head coach or athletic administrator.

Meredith also helped a 2012 Fredonia State graduate land a college coaching job.

“I have been fortunate,” Meredith said, “that I have had some amazing young guys to work with over the years and, as I see it, my job is to provide them with experiences that will allow them to move on in the profession — kind of like a proud father.”

The Fredonia State head hockey coach since 1988, Meredith recalled his own start in college hockey

coaching as an assistant of Phil Grady, the long-time head coach at Hamilton. “He was,” Meredith said of Grady, “a tremendous influence in my career and helping me move on.

I learned from him how important it is to keep passing that on.”

And passing it on he has. Meredith's list of protégés the past 24 years reads like this:

Brian Dickinson, an assistant coach for five seasons (1988-89 to 1992-93), was the first to move on when he was named head coach at SUNYAC foe Buffalo State before the 1993-94 season.

Dickinson later moved to become head coach at Brockport, another SUNYAC foe, whereupon Jim Fowler took over as Buffalo State's head

coach in 1996. A Fredonia State graduate and former Blue Devil, Fowler also assisted Meredith for five seasons (1991-92 to 1995-96).

Current Fredonia State assistant director of athletics Joe Baudo served as Meredith's assistant coach for two seasons (1998-99 and 1999-2000) and then again for one more season Continued on pg 8 (2005-06) in an interim role.

Erik Noack, at Fredonia State in 2001-02, has been the head coach at Johnson & Wales since 2003-04.

He is beginning his 10th season in Providence, R.I. Nick Carriere served behind the Blue Devil bench for three seasons (2002-03 to 2004-05). He succeeded Fowler at Buffalo State when the latter stepped down in 2005 and moved to an athletics administration post. Carriere is beginning is eighth season as Bengal bench boss.

Greg Heffernan succeeded Carriere and worked with Meredith for three seasons (2006-07 to 2008-09) before taking the head job at Western New England, where he is in his fourth season. Heffernan left Fredonia State with a legacy — to honor his mother, a breast cancer survivor, he came up with the idea of holding a hockey fundraiser that eventually morphed into Pink The Rink.

Manastersky succeeded Heffernan in 2009 and quickly became part of the fabric of the Fredonia State campus community. In addition to his coaching duties, he taught highly popular classes in the school's Sport

Bonaventure Athletic Fund Posts Record Year Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — One of the most successful years in St. Bonaventure Athletics history carried over to the Bonaventure Athletic Fund in 2011-12 as the BAF set a record with $368,359 raised from 811 passionate donors.

With the 2012 fiscal year recently coming to a close, the BAF surpassed its 2009-10 record of $368,209 raised, and the 811 donors are the second-most in history.

“All of us who are a part of St. Bonaventure Athletics are incredibly grateful for the support of our Bonaventure Athletic Fund donors this past year,” said Steve Watson, Director of Athletics. “I cannot emphasize enough how vital these contributions are to our student-athletes and coaches. Each year, as we strive to be the best we can be in the Atlantic 10 Conference,

After having both the men's and women's basketball teams make the NCAA Tournament, the Bonaventure Athletic Fund received more money in donations than in any other year. (St. Bonaventure sports information department)

additional resources become more critical.

“That will continue to be true, and I am confident in the future support of our loyal fans, alumni, families and friends.

On behalf of our entire Athletics Department, thank you to our BAF donors for helping us be our best.”

Just more than 42 percent of the donated funds were in the form of unrestricted dollars ($155,283), with the other $213,076 being designated gifts to specific sports or program areas.

As monetary contributions

continue to expand, so does the BAF membership. The prideful group grew by 147 members in 2011-12, up from 667 in 2010-11, representing a drastic increase of 18 percent.

The rise in donors is part of an immensely positive trend for SBU Athletics, as over the past four years the number of BAF members has increased by 303, a rise of 37 percent.

The BAF is the annual fundraising campaign of the Department of Athletics. Gifts to the BAF provide annual support for St. Bonaventure’s 14 intercollegiate sports programs, thereby enhanc-

ing the “Good Journey” of Bonaventure’s 250 studentathletes. BAF contributions fund critical initiatives and gaps in operating expenses that the Athletics Department might otherwise not be able to afford.

In order for the Bonnies to foster and sustain competitive excellence, growth is necessary. The Department of Athletics and the Athletics / BAF Advisory Board ask you to make a gift today, and to consider asking a friend to follow your lead. Make a taxdeductible gift today at www. gobonnies.com/donate.

SPORTS HALL OF FAME DISPLAY continued from pg 1 hallway with each inducted member’s plaque is always a great starting point.

Anderson also said they’re in efforts to try to purchase another room for the exhibit.

With space limitations, there is only so much that can be done, and with Anderson’s long list of future plans, the room would be extremely beneficial and offer even more to it’s visitors.

The Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame is a non-profit organization that receives all of its property for display via

donation. Any interested visitor can come in at any time to view everything on display free of charge.

Also, they have an infor-

After all, some of the league’s best teams traditionally play poorly in preseason, and as nearly every single Buffalo Bills fan will tell you, hey they never won preseason games to) during the Super Bowls, either.

But boy has it been ugly so far.

Start with the defense. In the opening loss to Washington, they did sort of come to play for the most part. A long touchdown drive to Robert Griffin and Co. was somewhat deflating, but the starters forced a punt and a turnover, and the backups threw a shutout. Through one week, no complaining, no applauding.

But then there was last Friday.

Minnesota had the ball six times in the first half and scored on four of them. A fifth went down for a missed field goal and a sixth ended in a fumble with the Vikings already in field goal range. Dare I say it, but is George Edwards still running this defense?

I hate to be pessimistic, and I do say take preseason with a grain of salt, but this was against an offense led by Christian Ponder he to) and Joe Webb at quarterback.

And oh yeah, with Adrian Peterson still out, Toby Gerhart was the running back.

The second half wasn’t completely awful, another pair of field goals and some less-thanstellar quarterback play blew the game open and into an embarrassment. But, the fact remains Buffalo’s defense still has some growing pains as much as you don’t want to admit it. In no way, shape or form, should Ponder and Gerhart be hanging six possible scoring drives in one half against a defense.

With what appears to be starting cornerbacks — Stephon Gilmore and Aaron Williams — with a combined one year - of pro experience (a half of ure a year because of Williams’ injury to be exact) and a linebacking core that just might not be good enough, Buffalo’s s defense has a long way to go still. If ever a team needed a $100 million free agent to pay ent off on the field, it’s this year for e Buffalo and Mario Williams.

They’ll need that well-documented defensive line to play tive above and beyond expecta- tions — which we haven’t really seen yet — if this playoff / drought is supposed to end. ou Offensively, it’s just downright o gruesome. Clearly, Chan Gailey had no intention of running ball x- with either of his star running w. backs in the opener. OK, so perhaps you can throw that out the window. But, the rest of the team didn’t do anything, either in that 7-6 loss to Washington. at In Minnesota, they were basipe- cally average after starting exHal- tremely slow. Ryan Fitzpatrick

finished a respectable 8-for-11 with a touchdown and even Vince Young engineered a drive while looking somewhat capable. But, they weren’t anything downright special.

What was special was how bad Tyler Thigpen and Brad Smith looked.

For the life of me, I can’t understand why the Bills are so convinced about keeping Smith as their third string quarterback.

The meatball he threw over the middle, which was intercepted and returned for a touchdown, was something you don’t even see in high school ball that often. And lest we forget, Smith was — get ready for it — 0-for1 passing last season with his lone pass going for an interception. In what world does this guy pass for a quarterback?

And then there’s Thigpen, who I’m equally as baffled to wondering how he still has a job in the NFL. Look, they bring some nice qualities. Smith is such an effective runner out of the backfield that clearly has some passing abilities — he broke all sorts of records at Missouri — but it’s not at an NFL level. And Thigpen, he’s certainly a bright guy who has the respect of Gailey, but I haven’t seen a single decent thing out of him on the field in two preseasons.

Now I don’t need to preface that with the fact I’m not an NFL scout. I watch an ungodly amount of football, but that doesn’t mean I can tell you why someone should be cut.

What I’m getting at is the Bills have no third-string QB and it is a big deal because the backup is probably going to be Vince Young and the starter is Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Maybe Fitz takes every snap this season and does just fine. But, what if he doesn’t? I mean we’re not talking about Tom Brady here. We’re not even talking about Jay Cutler. Maybe you believe in Fitzpatrick — and I’m not saying you’re wrong — but the word is still out on him. And, I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to leave this team in the hands of Vince Young or anyone else on this roster if Fitzpatrick is just a guy who gets hot every once in a while. Or even worse, if he gets hurt.

But no, the sky isn’t falling.

The Bills went 1-3 in last year’s preseason and were arguably the best team in the AFC over the first half of the year — that’s legitimately true. All I’m saying is before I really go buying into this team, they’ll need to show me something in this week’s game against Pittsburgh. We don’t even need to see this team establish a running game, but the passing game needs work right now and it would be nice to see this vaunted D-line get some pressure. Don’t forget, the fourth preseason game is basically a walkthrough, so this is it.

Because don’t forget, while Jim Kelly didn’t do much in preseason, neither did Trent Edwards. Maybe that means these games don’t mean anything, anyhow. But with as many question marks as the Bills have, it’d be nice to see some of them having possible answers before the year starts.

Until then, I guess we’ll never know.

Registration Under Way for TLC Health Network’s Annual Golf Tournament Contributed Article

Lake Shore Health Care Center

For many hospital patients, there are few things more important than having a timely response to the nurse call button when help is needed. Thanks to this year’s annual golf tournament, critical upgrades to the nurse call system at Lake Shore Health Care Center in Irving will be possible.

Linda Summers, Chief Operating Officer (COO) at the hospital, said that proceeds from the annual Russell J. Joy Memorial Golf Tournament will be used toward the acquisition of a new system which enhances quality and patientcentered care at the facility.

“It’s a great event for a worthwhile cause,” Ms. Summers said. “It’s an investment that impacts the patient, staff and the future of health care services at TLC.” The annual golf tournament will be held on Wednesday, Aug. 29 at Tri-County Country Club in Forestville. This year’s event is co-sponsored

by M&T Insurance Agency, Inc. Registration cost is $150 per golfer. The cost includes 18 holes of golf, shared carts and numerous prizes to be awarded. A buffet lunch begins at 11 a.m. with several

main course selections including chicken breast and ham.

The cost also includes a prime rib dinner buffet. Registration priority will be given to complete, four-person teams and event sponsors. Checks should be made payable to TLC Health Foundation. For further information, contact Scott Butler, Vice President of Community Relations, Lake Erie Regional Health System of New York at 716-951-7041 or sbutler@tlchealth.org.

“Past participants have said how much they enjoy the event, how much value they get for the cost, and what a networking opportunity this event is for them,” Ms. Summers said. “It’s sure to be a

fun-filled day.”

Held annually, the Dr. Russell J. Joy Memorial Golf Tournament honors the memory of a long-time physician at the facility. Dr. Joy, a founding member of Lake Shore Health Care Center (the former Lake Shore Hospital), was a well-beloved family practitioner with a thriving medical following in North Collins as well as Irving.

This year, the annual Golf Tournament is also supported

by Honorary Co-Chair James Wild, MD, TLC Health Network Medical Director.

The choice of the new nurse call system, according to Dr. Wild, "will touch the lives of many in our hospital and

community families...As Medical Director representing this organization and as a long-time member of the medical staff, I can attest to the importance of providing state-of-the-art communication systems to enhance the patient experience and the delivery of healthcare services."

At Lake Shore Health Care Center, officials plan to add the EZ Care ™ VitalTouch ™ Nurse Call System to its services, a system, which provides more privacy for patients, increased flexibility for staff use and can integrate with wireless devices to provide workers with greater mobility.

Officials say the new nurse call system is a way of staying more closely connected to patients via advanced technology to be able to respond more quickly to healthcare needs, assess changes in the patient, promote preventive care and ensure greater patient safety.

Dr. Wild noted that support provided through this year’s golf tournament “will enable us to make this necessary purchase to improve the quality of care for our patients.”

Lake Shore Health Care Center in Irving, a member of TLC Health Network, is an affiliate of Lake Erie Regional Health System of New York.

Jets Still Looking For TD After 2 Preseason Games

LeBron Savoring Special Summer

By Tom Withers Associated Press

AKRON, Ohio (AP) — LeBron James squeezed his mom's hands, the way he did as a kid.

Moments before being honored again in his hometown, where they still love him and always will, James stood among family members and friends. With the days in this summer of summers dwindling quickly, this was another moment to savor. So as he waited to be introduced, James hugged his mom, Gloria, around the neck, took out his phone and snapped their picture.

He was home.

“I know this place,” he said, “and it knows me.”

Fresh off leading the U.S. men's team to a gold medal at the London Olympics, James was praised Sunday during a minor league game for his recent basketball accomplishments — an MVP award, NBA title and the gold — and for giving back to Akron, where his “Wheels For EducaIt's not just the Bills struggling in preseason.

them to have someone who can lead them. For me to be in this position and being able to help and give back, means a lot.”

James received a warm ovation from the crowd of 3,843 — more than double the average attendance — when he walked onto the infield at Canal Park, home of the Double-A Akron Aeros, during the middle of the eighth inning escorted by Akron Mayor Don Plusquellic.

As James reached the area in front of the pitcher's mound, infielders for the Reading Phillies lined up on the grass between first and second base

and gawked at the superstar.

It was also going according to plan before a malfunctioning microphone caused several anxious and awkward moments.

Plusquellic's comments kept cutting out over the ballpark's speaker system, allowing two anti-James fans, one of them wearing a Cleveland Browns jersey, sitting a few rows behind Akron's dugout to shout “traitor” and other insults at James, who seemed unsure of what to do as the delay dragged on and stadium personnel scrambled to find a new microphone.

When it became apparent

James would not be able to address the crowd, he posed for pictures and then left the field, slapping hands with a few Reading players who leaned over their dugout railing to greet the All-Star, who was mobbed by fans as he made his way up the aisle.

It was somewhat poetic, James going in one week from stepping onto a gold-medal podium with his teammates on the world's largest stage to a mix-up inside a minor league ballpark where he grew up and where Thursday's postgame entertainment will include midget wrestling.

Before taking the field, James retreated to a dusty stairwell corner with large rakes leaning on one cinder-block wall and reflected on his spectacular summer, a three-month whirlwind of awards that began with his third MVP trophy and was capped by a second gold medal.

James told the Associated Press he would like to play in a fourth Olympics. He has not yet informed USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo of his intentions, but the 27-year-old said he'd like to step inside the five rings one more time.

“We haven't had that conversation,” James said. “But if I'm healthy, I did the math and I'll Continued on pg 10

Federer Continues To Roll, Beats Djokovic For Fifth Cincy Title

Amazingly, the 31-year-old Federer still appears to be the best player in tennis. He breezed by Djokovic in a precursor to the U.S. Open beginning in a week. (AP Photo)

He's also regained the upper hand against one of the players who stands in his way.

Djokovic had put together a run of three straight wins over Federer in tournament semifinals, starting with the U.S. Open last year. Federer turned it around by beating the Serb in the semis at Wimbledon last month.

They got together in a finals match for the seventh time in their careers Sunday. They'd split the previous six, with Federer winning the only Grand Slam championship match — the U.S. Open in 2007.

Quickly, the latest one became a bit of personal history. They've never had such a lopsided day

together on the court.

Ranked No. 1 and No. 2, perhaps, but worlds apart on this day.

Federer won the first set in only 20 minutes, allowing Djokovic just 10 points. It was the first time in their 28 career matches that one of them took a set 6-0. For perspective, Federer hadn't beaten anybody 6-0 in a tournament final since 2007.

Both players seemed a bit stunned.

“I was hoping for a good start, but not like that,” Federer said.

Perhaps Djokovic's schedule had something to do with it.

After the Olympics, he went

Cabrera Associate Launched Fake Site To Fabricate Defense

By Ronald Blum Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — An associate of San Francisco Giants All-Star Melky Cabrera purchased a website and attempted to create evidence to support a claim that the outfielder inadvertently took the substance that caused a positive drug test, Major League Baseball said.

Baseball officials uncovered the scheme as Cabrera prepared his case to challenge the test. Cabrera's grievance then was dropped, and MLB announced a 50-game suspension Wednesday.

The New York Daily News first reported on the scheme Sunday.

A team of six-to-seven investigators from MLB spent several weeks working to uncover the plan, a baseball

official familiar with the probe told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because MLB didn't authorize anyone to discuss the matter publicly.

It's the first such case MLB has had and officials hope that uncovering the scheme will discourage similar attempts.

The person said baseball had referred the case to federal investigators.

A second baseball official, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said additional discipline against Cabrera was unlikely.

Cabrera, MVP of the All-Star game last month, tested positive for testosterone, MLB said.

The person said Juan Nunez, who works with Cabrera's agents, purchased an existing website and attempted to

“The MLBPA has clearly stated that ACES has no connection to the website or this matter and, as reported, Juan Nunez has taken full responsibility for his acts,” Seth Levinson told The Associated Press. “There is nothing more One week after being suspended for 50 games by the MLB for we can add and we will allow testing positive for a banned substance, Melky Cabrera reportedly our reputation in the industry had an associate build a fake website, explaining his innocence. for 27 years to speak for itself.”

“There is no question about it.

Both reached the final in a dominating style — neither lost their serve or a set during the week.

Federer put an end to that right away.

Helped by a double-fault, Federer broke Djokovic's serve to start the match. Then, aided by two more doublefaults, he broke him again to go up 3-0. Djokovic went to his chair at the break and grabbed a different racket, hoping to change the flow of the match.

Made no difference whatsoever.

Federer served back-to-back aces that Djokovic couldn't touch with that new racket.

A former member of the New York Yankees, Atlanta Braves and Kansas City Royals, Cabrera is eligible for free agency after the World Series.

San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy declined to discuss the allegations against Cabrera before the Giants played the Padres in San Diego. He didn't defend his player's actions, either.

“You can be world-class parents and your kids can go south or have some issues.

We can't follow guys 24/7, and it comes down to choices.

(Cabrera) is a grown man, he's a veteran,” Bochy said.

“These are unfortunate things and we'll continue to work at cleaning out baseball.”

But, it’s hard to necessarily blame the offense for the team’s struggles.

Jamestown is also fifth in batting average at .245, fifth in slugging percentage and tied for third in homeruns. So how in the world is this team losing games?

Much of the problem has been Jame-

stown’s inability to stay consistent game through game. They’ll score nine runs one night and follow it up with just three the next night (as was the case last week). Rarely has this team been able to string together a few games in a row and it’s the reason they’re sitting under .500 with about 14 games to go.

The main cog offensively has been Jesus Solorzano who, come year’s end, will really have put together one of the finer seasons in team history.

No it hasn’t been Miguel Fermin or Marcell Ozuna, but a solid allaround year (especially after a slow start) has been impressive.

He’s played all three outfield positions well and has shown good power in a place tough to hit homeruns. He’s also bumped his average over .300 after being around .240 a month ago.

The Jammers wrap up their season in the first week of September, but have a heavy dose of the State College Spikes and the Williamsport Crosscutters until then. Starting on Tuesday, Jamestown started a 13-game stretch where the Jammers play only those two teams on the schedule.

Considering both are under .500, it would seem like a good time to get hot and make a run, but it’s probably too late for Jamestown.

Bristol reboot

NOTEBOOK

Engine woes plague Hendrick Sunday’s Pure Michigan 400 saw three drivers that use engines from Hendrick Motorsports sidelined with engine problems. Jimmie Johnson was leading with six laps to go and poised to get his first-ever Michigan victory when his engine blew. His teammate Jeff Gordon also lost power in his engine, as did Tony Stewart, who runs Hendrick engines in his cars.

“It’s something that is not a norm for sure,” Stewart said. “I appreciate everybody at the Hendrick engine department …

“It’s uncommon to have a problem like this there. It’s not something I’m concerned about and having problems in the future with, it’s just a bad day and like I said, we have the best engine department in the world, in my opinion.”

Safety issue raised after crash

Fans demanded return to pre-2007 configuration

T

he Sprint Cup Series is racing on several repaved race tracks this season, at Pocono, Michigan and Kansas, all tracks that chose to put down new asphalt because of the deterioration of the existing surfaces.

This weekend’s race at Bristol Motor Speedway also will be run on a much different surface, but the changes were made for an entirely different reason. After seeing Bristol’s years-long string of sellouts come to an end, and a sea of empty seats at the race back in March, track owner Bruton Smith decided to redo the top groove, taking away banking and making it less likely that drivers will run up there during the race.

The idea was to put the high-banked concrete half-mile oval back like it was before a 2007 reconfiguration that brought about sideby-side racing, but not as much beating and banging as before.

Many in the sport say the changes in the racing were due more to the cars than the track, but fans say they wanted the track changed, and Smith responded accordingly.

Saturday night’s race should provide an indication of whether the track was the problem or not, but the debate likely will continue for years.

“I just hope they didn’t screw up the race track,” said Ryan Newman, who holds the track record at Bristol with a lap at 128.709 miles per hour back in 2003. “The racing was different than what we had there in the past because of the tire, to me, not because of the race track.

“I hope that the racing is good. I hope they didn’t take the racing away. The beating, banging and crashing is not the racing that I like. That’s what some of the fans enjoy, but

Ryan Newman, here at Martinsville in March, holds the track record at Bristol. “I just hope they didn’t screw up the race track,” he said of the Bristol changes. (NASCAR photo) that’s not the racing I like. I like being able to run side by side.”

He said the problem with the tires is that they were too good, in a way. The tires didn’t wear significantly, so speeds didn’t drop off over long stretches of racing.

“Your car didn’t fall off, your balance didn’t change, and everybody was virtually the same speed,” he said. “We passed, and we raced side by side, but it made it difficult to see the guy coming from 10th on new tires to pass the

guys that were in the top five.

“It just didn’t happen the way it used to. To me, the tires are the biggest issue when it comes to a place like that.”

Carl Edwards, who got his one Bristol win in Sprint Cup back in 2008, is among those taking a “wait-and-see” approach. He did say that since all the changes were to the top groove, it will affect him less than others because he spends most of his time on the bottom anyway.

“Who knows what will happen,” Edwards said. “Anytime you change a track like that there is no telling. It might make it a completely different race, and I guess in the end that is what they are trying to do.

“I give credit to Bruton [Smith] and those guys for trying to make the racing as good as they can and not afraid to make changes.

“I think all of us go there hoping for a really good race.”

Brad Keselowski, winner of the past two Sprint Cup races at Bristol, said that no matter how the track is configured, it’s at the top of his list of tracks.

“Bristol, to me, is a man’s race track, and I respect that place so much, and I think it takes a level of respect for it, which from Day One, the first day I was there and walked in there, I respected it, but I also wanted to win there,” he said. “I wanted to prove to myself and others that I could be the man to win at a man’s racetrack. So it’s always been a challenge to me, and it’s one that for some reason has taken a piece of me somewhere deep inside and made it rise to the next level, and I just love it for that reason …

“It feels good going there.”

Competition for ‘wild card’Chase slots heats up When it came to positioning themselves for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup, the real winners on Sunday at Michigan International Speedway were Kasey Kahne, who recovered from an early race incident with Mark Martin to finish third, and Ryan Newman, who soldiered through on a day when he was feeling ill to finish eighth.

Greg Biffle won the race and moved to the top of the points standings, but that’s not as important as it was in years past, because the points will be reset to start the 10race, championship-deciding Chase.

With three regular season races left to run, Kahne and Newman are the top two drivers in the wild card standings. The Chase field will be filled by the top 10 drivers in the standings, plus two more who will get in based on race victories and points. Kahne has two wins and is 11th in the standings. Newman has one win and is 13th in points.

Marcos Ambrose, whose win a week ago at Watkins Glen put him in the wild card hunt, finished fifth at Michigan, but still is fifth in the wild card race behind Kyle Busch, who was 13th at Michigan, and Jeff Gordon, who remains fourth in the wild card standings despite a blown engine at Michigan that left him with a 28th-place finish. Joey Logano struggled to a 31st-place finish and is 18th in the overall standings and sixth in the wild card running.

Kahne suffered through a miserable start to the season, his first at Hendrick Motorsports, but now he’s feeling better about his prospects for the immediate future.

“I just felt really good about our speed,” he said. “Our car has been really fast. We’ve been pretty consistent as a team. We want to make it to the Chase. That’s a big part of our season, something that we’re really shooting for. I think our team has done a great job of that.

“It would still be nice to get one more win and make that Chase spot, make it happen. But we’ll see. We still have

(NASCAR photo) good tracks to go, we just need to keep running up front.”

Newman acknowledged that like Kahne, he’d like to get another win in the next three weeks to put him in a better position for a Chase berth.

“A win is going to answer a lot of questions, and we are all trying real hard,” he said. “We had about a 10th-place car and finishing eighth, I think we’re proud of that.”

Mark Martin’s crash into the blunt end of an opening in the pit wall at Michigan raised questions about the safety of those openings. The impact destroyed his car, but no crew members or others were injured.

Brad Keselowski said changes may be in order.

“Over the course of time, we always get complacent and think that we’ve hit all the buttons on the safety side,” he said. “Then you see something like that. It shows you why you have to never quit working at making these cars and tracks safer, because that could have been a lot worse, whether it was for Mark or for the crew members or anybody.”

Later, a track representative issued a statement saying: “The safety of the drivers is paramount. So we will seek NASCAR’s opinion and work with them on any recommendations they may have on how we can improve any part of the competition area -– that includes pit road, pit wall, the track, anything competition-related.”

The openings are similar to those at many other race tracks.

NASCAR finds global groove Saturday’s races for NASCAR’s second- and third-tier circuits definitely had an international flavor.

Nelson Piquet Jr. from Brazil won the Camping World Truck Series race at Michigan and wrapped himself in Brazil’s flag afterward.

Later that day, the Nelson Piquet Nationwide Series raced at NASCAR photo) Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal. Hometown driver Alex Tagliani started on the pole and was a contender for most of the race. Jacques Villeneuve, racing on the track named for his late father, dominated the latter stages of the race before losing on a green-white-checkered-flag run to the finish. Justin Allgaier, who races for the same Turner Motorsports team as Piquet, took the victory, his first ever on a road course.

“Winning in Montreal means so much because all the people in the series enjoy coming here,” Allgaier told reporters after his win. “The atmosphere is great, the fans never disappoint here, but the race played out perfectly for us.”

Allgaier, who was running third on a restart that decided the race, got past Villeneuve and Sam Hornish Jr. to take the win. Hornish finished second and Villeneuve third.

“I knew I was closing in on Jacques, but he braked really early into Corner Six and I was certain he had ran out of gas,” Allgaier said. “He went really slow and I had too much of a head of steam and was sorry I got into him.”

Hess Jr. Scores Win In Dick Litz Memorial At Eriez Speedway

Chris Withers Wins Jeff Gunnell Street Stock Special at Stateline Speedway

Contributing Writer

HAMMETT, Pa. — Dick Litz was a name familiar to race fans all through the second half of the 20th century and a 16-time Super Late Model feature winner here at Eriez Speedway. He was remembered with a memorial race set at 29 laps for the car number Litz drove for the majority of his career.

Several drivers from the 1960’s were on hand, sharing their experiences over their careers with the crown on the front straight prior to the racing event, then signing autographs and posing for photos in front of the Champions Board near the first turn concession area.

Leading Super Late Model winner Bobby Schnars, ’68 champion Jim Scott, the firstever winner, Tom Dill. Ken See and Floyd Fanale were in attendance as well as Sammy LaMancuso, who brought his restored 1971 Dodge Charger 27L, a winner of the Eriez 150, an annual crowd-pleaser run in the track’s early years.

The $2,900 first-place purse for the Litz Memorial went to Dave Hess Jr. in one of the most thrilling finishes of the season after race leader Robbie Blair got hung up by lapped traffic on the final lap.

Two drivers, Shane Crotty in the Plyler Overhead Door EMods, and John Phelps Jr. in the Bonnell Collision Center Street Stocks, won their career-first feature events, Crotty by a razor-thin margin over Dave Hess Jr., and Phelps despite a last lap encounter with a lapped car.

Max Blair waited until the final lap to edge ahead of young Chad Wright in the Dan’s Rt. 8 Boardwalk Bar & Grill FASTRAK Late Model feature.

Ryan Scott finally got his first win of the season in the Conway & O’Malley Limited Late Models after a banner 2011 that saw five wins. Kevin Covell got his first feature win of the season in the Kandy’s Gentleman’s Club Challenger feature. Jake Eller became only the third feature winner in the Gannon University Sportsmen class when he won his first of the season.

The Jay’s Auto Wrecking Super Late Models Dick Litz 29-lap Memorial for $2,900 to win for was the top draw of the night with Rich Gardner and Bump Hedman on the front row. Gardner led the first lap by about a foot over Hedman. Just past the flagstand Randy Lobb spun in the middle of the pack but all cars were able to steer around the backwards-facing machine.

For the restart Gardner led Hedman and Vicksburg, MS’s Bub McCool to the green with McCool immediately appropriating second.

Lobb again spun at lap four, setting up the next green flag with World of Outlaw stars McCool and Chub Frank right behind. Three laps after green McCool was the leader with Dave Hess Jr. coming to second a lap later. On the high side, Hess came by for the lead at Lap 8. Two laps later and Robbie Blair was second with Chub Frank coming to third at lap twelve. One lap past halfway, former champion Andy Kania erupted in a cloud of smoke and retired from the event.

At Lap 18 Blair drove by Hess but had heavy traffic between him and the checkers. On the final lap Blair made contact with a lapped car, throwing him to the right and allowing Hess to get back by for the win, his fourth of the season. Blair recovered for second ahead of Frank, McCool, and Gardner.

Chad Wright was the early leader in the Dan’s Rt. 8 Boardwalk Bar & Grill FASTRAK Late Model feature with Max Blair right behind.

In the early going Wright opened some distance on Blair but three laps into the race Skip Jackson spun in turn four, erasing his lead. Just past halfway Jackson spun for the second time, very nearly collecting the leader who was just ahead of Blair.

With one lap to go Blair was alongside at the stripe and

pulled ahead going down the back straight, then drove to the Winner’s Circle for his 104th career victory. Wright wound up second with Jamie brown third, Dennis Lunger fourth, and Bob Dorman fifth.

After winning the King of the Hill for the Plyler Overhead Door E-Mods, Steve Dixon started the feature from the outside front row, next to pole-sitter Shane Crotty.

Crotty led from the drop of the green with Joel Watson and Dixon fighting side by side for the runner-up spot.

By Lap 6 Dixon was in control of the spot with point’s leader Rich Michael joining the fray.

At halfway Watson was again alongside Dixon while Crotty was stretching his lead. Dave Hess Jr., fresh off his Super Late Model win, was fighting for fourth when the first caution fell at Lap 14 when Steve Simon came to a stop on the infield but just inched close enough to the track to be a hazard. Simon lost a lap in the process and Crotty lost his now-substantial advantage.

After green Crotty again led with Watson now second and a three-way tussle for third among Hess, Michael, and Dixon. With seventeen laps down Steve Sornberger Jr spun in turn one again tightening the field. This time Hess Jr. was right on Crotty’s tail and came alongside on the high side at the finish line but Crotty prevailed by a few inches for his first feature win ever. Hess settled for second over Watson, Michael, and Dixon.

The Conway & O’Malley Limited Late Models were first on the track for feature racing action with Jake Finnerty leading from the pole. Finnerty, who won his first-ever feature earlier this year at the age of fifteen, opened up a lead with third-starting Dan Maxim coming to second. Finnerty caught lapped traffic at lap five and got tangled with the Continued on pg 5

Chris Wither won the Leroy's Towing Jeff Gunnell Street Stock Special this past weekend at Stateline Speedway. (Photo courtesy of stateline-speedway.com and SDC Associates Inc.)

By Glenn Slocum Contributing Writer

BUSTI, N.Y. — “Specials X 3” sponsored by Leroy’s Towing of Corry started with bright sunshine then cooled too light jacket weather. Thirty Street Stocks ran four heats and a consolation race where Cody Bliss, Elaine Best, Nate Lester and Kyle Reinwald all qualified along with the top five in each heat setting the 24 car starting field for the Jeff Gunnell Street Stock Special.

Chris Withers did what he has done all season winning the Street Stock Special for his tenth win of the season in a race strewn with cautions that was ended early by time constraints.

Thompson was the first into turn one and led the first circuit with Brian Crandall second. Earle suffered a flat tire, ending Lap 2 with the first yellow of the race. Lap three was completed then a spin by Eric Harvey caused caution number two. Several cars nearly stopped during the restart causing caution three.

Guy Adams climbed a track tire on the restart for caution four. Todd Bacon and Nate Lester tangled at the end of lap four for caution five.

Thompson led the single file restart but a spin by Jeremy Williams brought out the sixth yellow. Bacon had another problem for yellow seven. With five laps complete Thompson, Crandall, Chris Withers and Nick Mohawk were the restart leaders.

Thompson slowed allowing Withers and Crandall by just before the seventh yellow caused by Thompson.

Crandall led the field into turn one with point leader Withers along side. Nick Mohawk was as distant third followed closely by Jason Covey. Kyle Reinwald stopped against the turn two concrete for caution eight with eleven laps complete and on the restart Richard Wojtowicz spun for caution nine.

Withers traded spots with Crandall becoming the new leader with eight laps left in the event. Withers easily led the next four laps then the yellow flew for Covey stopped atop a track tire in turn one.

Withers, Crandall Weilacher Mohawk and David Baker were the leaders. Mohawk got into Weilacher two laps later collecting two other cars and ending the event. Giving Withers his tenth and biggest

win of the season.

Dave Scott led from the second lap of the Super Late Model feature for his third win of the season holding off veteran Dick Barton and 2011 Champ Dutch Davies.

Damien Bidwell passed veteran John Haggerty early in the Crate Late feature then led the remainder of the race for his third victory of the season extending his point lead going into the final event of the season.

Bump Hedman led the first lap of the feature. Dave Scott passed Hedman one lap to become the new leaders. Jason Morell stopped up against the turn four wall bringing out the yellow for the first time in the event. Scott, Hedman, Scott Gurdak, Dick Barton and Dutch Davies were the restart leaders.

Barton made in three wide with Hedman and Gurdak into turn one on Lap 7 moving to second with Davies in tow. Scott was a straight away ahead as lap ten ended with Barton and Davies trying to close the gap. Scott entered lap traffic on lap twelve and Davies lost touch with Barton.

Doug Eck caused the second yellow with a right rear flat with seventeen laps complete and Scott lost his lead as the rest of the field closed with him for the restart. Scott retained the lead and Barton used the high line for the runner up spot with Davies third.

With five laps to go Eck spun for caution three.

Chris Hackett was in the fourth spot for the restart with Hedman fifth and Greg Oakes sixth. Barton severely tested Scott on the restart but Scott held on. With two to go Scott led Barton by two car lengths and Davies by five. Scott won his third of the season.

David Scott was leading the E-Mod feature and with two laps to go suffered and right rear flat setting Mike McGee up for his career first E-Mod feature win.

The initial start of the feature was spoiled by a spin by Walt Johnson. The next restart saw Kyle Bedell nip Chad Carlson at the line. Lap two ended with Chad Carlson leading.

Bedell lost a spot as Mike McGee moved up to challenge Chad Carlson for the lead.

David Scott passed Bedell on lap eight to take over third.

Justin Carlson and Dave Shagla jumped wheels ending with the second yellow and Shagla on the hook. A multicar tangle on the restart ended with caution three. Scott led by a bumper after the restart then one lap later by a car length. The yellow flew again with thirteen laps complete

for as early race leader Bedell had problems in turn three.

One lap after the restart Walt Johnson spun for caution five.

Fifteen of the original 24 starters remained. Walt Johnson ended his night with a spin and with two laps remaining Scott went to the pits with a right rear flat setting up McGee as the new leader. McGee held on for the win the first of his career.

Dan Nocero Jr. continued his domination of the Super Sportsman division leading every lap of the Sportsman Special for his tenth win of the season.

Point leader Dan Nocero Jr. was on the pole of the special with Kelly Frederes second. A spin marred the initial start but on the second try Nocero was out in front by several car lengths on lap one. Frederes was second with Jake Eller third. Mike Genco caused the second yellow with five laps complete.

Four cars caused caution three on the restart. Clint Haskins spun with eleven laps down for caution four. Nocero ran the final laps unchallenged to win the Special his tenth win of the season.

Jake Finnerty won his first Stateline Limited Late Model feature after making a lap five pass from third. Finnerty survived several cautions and beat point leader Steve Kania to the line.

Tyler Green spun on the first lap of the feature causing a complete restart of the event.

Chad Schauers was on the pole with Mike Moore alongside. Jake Finnerty was in row two with point leader Steve Kania. Yellow two caused by Byron Johnson and Ronald Wilkins ended the second attempted start.

The third start worked and Schauers led with Kania second and Finnerty third. A spin by Jermin Strickland with four laps complete caused caution three. Finnerty passed both Schauers and Kania on the restart to become the new leader. Kania remained second and Schauers was fending off challenges from Dustin Eckman and Ryan Scott for the third spot. Strickland stopped up against the fence in turn one for caution four after losing a driveshaft. One lap was completed after the restart then Tyler Green collected John Cline for caution five.

Seven laps remained.

Another spin by Cline caused caution six with one lap later.

Kania continued to shadow Finnerty as the laps wound down but could not mount a challenge. Finnerty won the event his first of the season and his first at Stateline.

Former Pitt Standout Kephart Joins Women’s Soccer Coaching Staff coach and practice partner.

A native of State College, Pa., Kephart will work primarily with SBU's goalkeepers and defenders, dispelling knowledge and talent which resulted in her owning six school records at Pitt.

“Morie continues in the line of passionate and talented assistant coaches that we have been very fortunate to have,” Khettry said. “She was a very good goalkeeper in a very competitive conference and has coached a great deal in a short amount of time. I can see the improvements in both the goalkeepers and defenders through preseason already.

“She has shown great understanding of the college student-athlete and their culture, and has jumped in and really helped our program immensely in just a short time,” Khettry continued. “I love her passion to teach, to learn and to motivate. She is going to be a huge asset to our program and I have no doubt she will — like the previous assistants before her — help make our program and culture better. I am excited to be working with someone who is so passionate about the game and about our program.”

In her junior campaign at

Pittsburgh in 2009, Kephart led the nation with a .926 save percentage and set a school record with eight shutouts. She holds the Pitt record for career wins (19), shutouts (19) and lowest goals against average (1.07). She also set two other school season records in 2009, including lowest goals-against average (0.47) and least goals allowed in a season (7).

Kephart was a three-time Big East Academic All-Star. She played in 68 career games, including 60 matches as a goalkeeper for the Panthers, 56 of which were starts. In her four years as a goalkeeper, Kephart made 262 saves.

Young Eager To Stake Claim On Backup Job

described the competition as one that's too close to call.

“They've made it tough this whole time,” Gailey said.

“Vince was really behind the eight-ball early. But he's come on strong. So it's going to be a tough decision for us.”

That Young's job is not secure is an indication of how far his star's fallen since making several big splashes in 2006. That's when he played a significant role in leading Texas to the national championship, was selected by Tennessee with the third pick in the draft and was then named the NFL's offensive rookie of the year.

Despite being a two-time Pro Bowl selection and going 3017 in 47 starts, he eventually wore out his welcome with the Titans after the 2010 season.

He then signed with Philadelphia, where he struggled as Michael Vick's backup, throwing four touchdowns and nine interceptions in six games, including three starts.

Buffalo took a chance in signing the 29-year-old in May but only to a one-year, incentive-laden contract that's potentially worth $3 million.

And the Bills made clear that their interest in Young was limited to him competing for a backup job.

“It's not about me,” Young said, when asked what the adjustment has been like playing a secondary role. “It's all about just working. I've got an opportunity to play here. I want to make the best of it.”

Young is coming off a so-so outing with the third-string

offense in a 7-6 loss to Washington last week. He completed 5 of 12 passes for 50 yards, and led Buffalo with 37 yards rushing on five carries. That included a 21-yard scamper in a third-and-20 situation.

Young's ability to take off and run has never been in question for a player who has 1,459 yards rushing on 282 carries, and 12 touchdowns.

The problem has been accuracy for a quarterback who has thrown 46 touchdowns and 51 interceptions.

In practice, there have been times when Young has looked downright dominant. During a team drill Monday, he zipped a pass deep over the middle to hit receiver Ruvell Martin in stride. A few plays later, he threaded another pass to Martin through a crowd at the goal line to complete the drive.

“That's the best he has done since he's been here,” Gailey said.

And yet there have been moments when Young has struggled, such as the time he threw a pass 10 feet over a receiver's head along the sideline. Gailey noted there were times in the preseason game that Young appeared unsure of a passing play, and instead took off and ran with the ball.

Young understands he still has work to do.

“It's good to hear that from coach,” Young said, when informed of Gailey's praise.

“But overall, I feel like I'm still not where I want to be at. So I'm continuing to keep working at it.”

Early Bow Opener Interrupts Fishing

By Steve Peacock Star Outdoors Writer

Last weekend was a good one if you’re a walleye fisherman. My friends and I went out on Sunday and had a great day. We didn’t catch our limit but we weren’t too far from it.

The guys who braved the rougher weather on Saturday were rewarded

with better numbers than Sunday. It always surprises me to see how many boats all want to fish in the same stretch of water between Dunkirk and Silver Creek. I would guess that every one was catching fish like we were. The fish we were catching were running a bit smaller than the ones we caught in July.

Last weekend’s fish were not only smaller but they were mixed in with

schools of silver bass. We probably caught three times as many silver bass as walleyes, which kept us busy trying to keep worms on our harnesses. We ended up using around six dozen worms on Sunday.

We also caught a few perch on our worm harnesses and saw a lot more on the fish finder. So I would think you should do pretty well on perch if you were targeting them. How-

ever I did talk to one guy who gave it a try and only caught twenty five.

He probably was not in the same area that I seen the perch on the fish finder.

I’ve been so wrapped up with fishing that I am going to have to force my self to change gears and get ready for the archery hunting season. This year the season opens on Oct. 1, which is about two weeks earlier than previ-

ous years. I still need to buy some arrows for my new bow, and then sight it in.

It’s also real important to practice with your bow, partially to keep your self in shape. It can be difficult to draw your bow when you are freezing cold from spending hours not moving a muscle. I once missed a deer because of this, I grunted aloud from the strain of pulling my bow.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article

Department of Environmental Conservation

The walleye action cooled in most areas this week. Spots that were previously producing limit catches are now giving up one or two.

Out of Sturgeon Point, trollers report modest catches near the international line in 65-80 feet of water. Worm harnesses and stickbaits run near the bottom work best. West end trollers have also had to work for their catches.

Trollers out of Dunkirk and Barcelona see a better bite over deeper water of 75-120 feet of water. Lures run 60-80 feet down have produced some nice sized fish. Walleye trollers west of Dunkirk could see some steelhead and brown trout mixed in with their catches.

Anglers report modest yellow perch catches in 60-70 feet of water out of Cattaraugus Creek and off Evangola State Park. Emerald shiners fished near the bottom is a good bet. Lake trout fishing is typically very good through the month of August, from Dunkirk to the Pa. line.

Head for depths over 90 feet and run spoons near the bottom.

Smallmouth bass fishing has been decent in 25-45 feet of water near structure such as reefs, rock piles and drop-offs. Good areas that are known to hold sizeable bass include Seneca Shoal, Myers Reef, Evans Bar and Van Buren Reef. A drop-shot rig with live crayfish or golden shiners works well, however tubes or plastics that imitate crayfish, gobies and shiners will also produce.

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 have dominated catches at Broderick Park and the northern tip of Squaw Island, with an uptick in legal sized bass catches. Crayfish and leeches have been best baits.

Worms and minnows have produced mixed catches of black bass, yellow perch and sunfish at the foot of Ontario Street. Boaters see even better smallmouth bass action, especially when drifting along weed edges with a bottom-

bouncing rig and live crayfish.

Good locations include along Strawberry and Motor Islands and along the west side of Grand Island. When fishing the west side of Grand Island, be aware that the international line runs quite close to the Island. Anglers can target muskellunge by drifting on the outside of weed edges with large 8-10 inch tube jigs or by casting large stickbaits over deeper weed beds.

Inland Trout Streams Cooler nights and some rain has improved stream conditions. The area streams have moderate to lower, clear flows. Tricos are still the only significant hatch occurring and fly anglers can do well using trico imitations in the morning. 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).

SUMMER OF ACCOMPLISMENTS FOR LEBRON continued from pg 4 be 31, and if I have the opportunity to be out there, I will do it. I love it. I love being a part of it and representing my country. I don't know what may happen in four years, but it would be great to be back out there again. Definitely.”

Since winning gold, James said he hasn't heard from any members of the immortalized 1992 Dream Team, which

scoffed at the idea that this year's U.S. Olympic team could beat them.

“Nah,” he said. “I don't expect to hear from any of them.”

James was the U.S. team's best all-around player in London, doing whatever coach Mike Krzyzewski needed while leading the Americans to their second straight gold. He was

virtually unstoppable, just as he was in carrying the Miami Heat to an NBA championship in June.

In doing so, he silenced those critics who wondered if he could ever win the big one.

James is on top, and he plans to stay there.

“I want that feeling again,” he said of winning his first title.

FEDERER VS. NADAL continued from pg 4 double-faults, each one setting up a break point or ending a game.

The fans gave Djokovic a loud ovation when he held serve to open the second set. The Serb looked up at the crowd and smiled while sipping water.

Djokovic showed more energy in the second set but never put much pressure on Federer, who didn't face a break point. After a forehand sailed way long, Djokovic raised his arms, reared back and screamed. Now fully engaged in the match, he took the set to a tiebreaker.

Djokovic survived one match point and got one point away from taking the tiebreaker.

Federer ran off the last three points, closing it out with a forehand.

“At the end, I just snatched it,” Federer said.

Federer improved to 5-0 in Cincinnati finals and tied Rafael Nadal for the most Masters titles with 21. Nadal dropped out of the tournament with a sore knee that has sidelined him indefinitely.

The loss snapped Djokovic's streak of 15 straight wins on

hard courts, an encouraging sign heading into the Open.

He figured the only thing lacking for New York was a little rest.

“I feel good on the court,” Djokovic said. “The conditions here are quite different from the U.S. Open. It's a bit slower there, which I think goes in my favor a little bit more. More suitable to my style of the game.

“I'm going to have a week that I think is very necessary for me right now mentally and physically.”

to the win over Watson, twotime winner Tim Card, former champion Don McGuire, and Brent Crandall.

Mark Thompson lead the first two laps of the Bonnell Collision Center Street Stock feature in his immaculate ’57 Chevy before making way for Jimmy Kennerknecht on lap three, but yellow was shown for a spin before the lap was completed. After green Thompson again led for another two laps before caution again interrupted the event, but this time with John Phelps Jr. in second.

At the line one lap after green, Phelps, Thompson, and Kennerknecht were side by side by side with Phelps pulling out to the lead by the time one more lap was in the books. Last week’s win-

than any athlete in memory.

Some fans have moved on.

Some can't. Some never will.

James once succumbed to the pressure produced by the constant condemnation. He's not bothered by it any longer.

Love him or hate him, James is only going to be himself.

“I don't even get involved with that anymore,” he said.

“I don't look for it. I don't shy away from it. I just kind of roll with what's going on. For me, and it started before last season, I came in with a different mindset and a different attitude and it didn't matter if you believed in me or not, I was still going to be how I was and stay true to who I was and who I am.

“And that's all that matters.”

OFFENSE? WHAT OFFENSE? continued from pg 4

well. We need to put our best foot forward in this last dress rehearsal for Buffalo and I'm confident with a week of prep, our guys will be ready.”

Tempering concerns is the knowledge Sanchez is playing with essentially half an offense. Three of his top receiving threats — Santonio Holmes (rib, back), Jeremy Kerley (hamstring) and Chaz Schilens (ankle) — are out with injuries.

The Jets have also shown very little flavor in an offense that was expected to be, in Ryan's words, “vanilla with some sprinkles” against the Giants.

In other words, Sparano has not yet unleashed the wildcatstyle scheme with Tebow that ner Chris Withers, came to Ryan has warned opposing third two laps past halfway defenses they will have to with Kennerknecht now prepare for. second and Thompson back In fact, there were two plays to fourth. Phelps, despite in particular in which the Jets trouble from the lapped car might have trotted out Tebow of Tyler Lyngarkos, went with the wildcat if this had on to his first win of 2012. been the regular season: on Kennerknecht was second over Withers, Joe Rohrer, and third-and-1 from the Jets 41 Ken Lamp Jr. Phelps became early in the first quarter, and fourth-and-1 from the Giants father to an infant daughter just last night.

Jeff Nunemaker led from the start of the Kandy’s Gentleman’s Club Challengers feature. After a restart at lap four Kevin Covell took over at the front and Stephen Enlow got second a lap later. Covell led to the finish for his first win in 2012 with Nunemaker coming back to second on the final lap over Enlow, Mike Pohl, and Lee Strain.

Dick Litz Memorial continued from pg 7 first car he caught, apparently suffering a flat tire in the incident, ending his night.

At eleven laps Tyler Green stopped on the track, bringing caution over the track, leaving Maxim the leader but Maxim experienced problems and retired to the pit before the race was resumed. For the restart Ryan Scott was up front and went on to his first win of the season with points leader Steve Kania second, Chris McGuire third, Dustin Eckman fourth, and defending champion Chris Ottaway filling out the top five.

Jake Eller was the early leader in the Gannon University Sportsmen finale with point’s leader Wade Watson coming to second before halfway.

Eller’s lead was enough by that point that he was able to coast

James doesn't know if being a champion — and the only player other than Michael Jordan to win an MVP, an NBA title and Olympic gold in the same year — will change the way he's viewed. Since announcing his decision to leave Cleveland as a free agent two years ago, he has been cast as the villain, reviled outside South Florida perhaps more

36 in the second. Both times, fullback John Conner was stuffed for no gain.

“Yeah, it was brutal,” Ryan said. “Absolutely bad. You know, you're trying to give it to the big fullback through there and they (hit him) in the backfield both times. I might've been more disappointed in those things than I was anything else.”

Right tackle Wayne Hunter has struggled as the starter since taking over the job last season, and Saturday was more of the same. He was part of three sacks by the Giants — a fourth was negated by a penalty.

“I want to watch the tape before I isolate one guy,” Ryan said of Hunter. “I have a tough time believing it was one guy.”

Sanchez has stood up for his embattled lineman, and so have Ryan and Hunter's position coach, Dave DeGuglielmo.

Still, the pressure coming from the right side is a huge concern. The Jets have worked on getting Sanchez to release the ball quicker, and he has done a better job of that. No quarter-

back, though, can get the ball off when there's a defender constantly in his face.

“I have to perform or they will find someone else who is better,” Hunter said, adding that it was “tough sledding” against the Giants. “My main focus is to watch the tape and seeing if I can get better.”

Sanchez's health may depend on it. While he threw away a touchdown — Jayron Hosley's 77-yard interception return — Sanchez has actually shown improved efficiency so far this preseason.

Also, starting running back Shonn Greene had five runs of at least 5 yards, finishing with 36 yards on 11 carries.

The Jets likely would've kept pounding the ball with Greene if it was the regular season.

“Are we pleased with what we put out there on film tonight?

No,” Sanchez said. “Is it our best? Absolutely not. Do I know we can play better than that? Of course. It's got to get better. It starts with studying this week and I know our guys will do that.”

Be smart in the sun This summer is a scorcher, so here are some reminders on how to protect your body from the harmful effects of the sun.

-- While some recent evidence suggests that sunscreen may not protect against the most deadly of the skin cancers, malignant melanoma, it does help with other kinds of skin cancer, and it can help protect your skin from sun damage that causes wrinkling and blotching.

-- Many experts recommend a sunscreen with an SPF (sun protection factor) of at least 30 that gives both UVA and UVB protection. I use the highest SPF I can find.

-- Be sure to apply it liberally at least an hour before you play, then re-apply it at the end of your first nine holes.

-- Carry a stick of sunscreen in your golf bag to keep your hands (and grips) from getting greasy when you reapply it.

-- Play after 2 p.m. or end your early round before 10 a.m. to avoid the sun’s most damaging rays.

-- Use an umbrella to shield yourself from long exposures.

-- Always wear a hat with a wide brim.

Baseball-type hats offer little protection.

-- Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from UVA and UVB rays.

-- Don’t be fooled by cloudy days; you still need protection.

-- Wear a special sunscreen-fabric shirt. Most golf shirts have an SPF of only 5, so the rays go right through to the skin, which is why skin cancers on the trunk are so prevalent.

IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME

THE GOLF DOCTOR

Fast hands need fast hips On the lesson tee, I often see golfers whose hand position at the top of the swing doesn’t match their hip action during the downswing.

Your hands and the clubhead both must arrive together at impact, and from the top of your swing, it’s a race to the finish between your hands and your hips.

Keep in mind that although your hands have a long way to go from the top of your swing, your hips are much closer to the finish line (your hands travel about 18 times farther than your hips). This means you have to coordinate your hips and hands in order for your clubhead to arrive at the ball when it should, full of energy and looking down the target line.

The words “slow” and “fast” are used here in terms of distance traveled to the appointed positions at impact. Hips that move a good deal laterally toward the target before they rotate are, in effect, slow because there is a delay or a pause before they turn, creating a time window that gives high hands a chance to catch up.

ABOUT THE WRITER Fast hips rotate Dr. T.J. early in the downTomasi is swing with only a teaching a touch of lateral professional in Port St. movement before Lucie, Fla. they turn. They Visit his arrive at their apwebsite at tjtomasi.com. pointed impact position sooner, with minimal pause or delay.

The hands can be thought of as being fast or slow depending on how far they travel to impact. Hands that travel a long route come from positions high above you. They are slow since they take more time to reach impact, and they must be matched with slow hips that wait for the hands. Hands that take a more direct route (fast hands) from a lower position match with fast hips.

The best way to match your hands and hips is to make setup adjustments in foot flare that do it automatically. To speed the hips, de-flare your front foot, and to slow them, increase the flare. This way, you don’t have to think about swing mechanics while you swing.

Leading the PGA Championship after two rounds, Tiger Woods’ downward spiral in the 2012 majors began once again in the third round. This time it was the relatively benign fourth hole at Kiawah that started a span of three bogeys in the next four holes.

Tiger hit into the crowd twice, striking gallery members both times, to whom he then gave signed gloves as a balm for being beaned. Verne Lundquist, one of golf’s best announcers, summed it up as Tiger dejectedly hurried from the green with a bogey 5: “Five strokes, one putt and two gloves,” a laconic parse of the situation that was a refreshing change from the usual announcer verbosity.

ASK THE PRO

Driver vs. putter Q: What is the most important club to hit well? — Melvin A: I know you always hear the pros say it’s the putter, but for the average player, it’s the driver. In the course of a normal round, you hit your driver 14 times, so whatever else you do, learn to love your driver.

As I’ve said many times, you can bet that the guy who said “drive for show, putt for dough” was already a great driver of the ball. It doesn’t help much to knock in a 30-footer for an eight after hitting two balls in the water off the tee.

Barkies A golf gambling game where you pay extra if your opponent hits a tree and still makes par or less.

Woods extends major drought

Low hands are fast and require fast hips or else they will arrive at the ball early. The star indicates where high hands would be.

If the hands race to the ball before the hips have turned, most of the power is thrown away early.

TEEING OFF

Exercise helps preserve flexibility

The single most important physical attribute for golf is flexibility. While being flexible is no assurance that you will be a good golfer, it’s certain that not having it severely limits your options.

A highly flexible person can adapt to any swing type. Tiger Woods can swing with a short backswing and low hands, or a long backswing and high hands, whereas a thickchested nonflexible golfer almost always has low hands and a short backswing.

Flexibility is not simply being limber enough to touch your toes. Flexible muscles, because of their ability to stretch, are a major factor in generating clubhead speed.

The fact that humans lose flexibility as they age is bad news because by the time you’re 50, your golf swing has lost that powerful zip it had when you were in your prime. But the good news is you can intervene in this loss of flexibility through exercise.

When a muscle is stretched, an electrical signal is sent to the spine describing how much the muscle is extended. Based on this information, the signal instigates the stretch reflex, a contraction of the muscle designed to prevent the stretching action from injuring the muscle. This is an automatic reflex that never makes it to the brain since speed of adjustment is necessary for maximum protection in real time. This is the basis of plyometric exercises where the golfer turns stretch power into explosive clubhead speed.

If I had to give you just one exercise to develop a powerful golf swing, it would be what I call the pelvic pistol, a ballistic jumping movement similar to a frog leaping onto the lily pad. Power in the swing comes from utilizing ground forces that funnel up and multiply through the legs and butt, which

are some of your body’s largest and most powerful muscles.

To execute the pelvic pistol, first cock your pelvis by squatting down until your thighs are just short of parallel with the ground — make sure your fanny is jutting out behind you. Then push up and out of the squat like a competitive swimmer when the gun goes off, thrusting your body straight.

Take care not to spend much time in the squat; as soon as you attain a cocked pelvic pistol, thrust up and out of it. Do three sets of five reps with at least two minutes in between each set.

Since this is an explosive exercise it’s only for healthy golfers. In any case, start slowly and make sure to check with your doctor before you do anything.

Before I was at the top of my swing, I was in the pelvic pistol squat, at an angle of about 20 degrees. By bursting out of the squat, the power from my thighs and glutes is delivered to the ball.

EQUIPMENT

Be sure your golf clubs are worth their weight The weight of your club is called “scale weight.” How that weight is distributed is called “swing weight,” and both are measured on a special device called a “swing weight scale.”

If you weigh 180 pounds, that’s the number you’ll see when you stand on an accurate scale — it’s your scale weight.

So, too, when a golf club is measured for its actual scale weight, say, 13 ounces. Weight is important because if your clubs are too heavy for you, your swing gets out of control, and if they’re too light, you can’t feel the shaft.

The swing weight is the relationship between the length of the club and the amount of weight in the clubhead. A swing weight scale expresses differences in swing weight using letters and numbers: C8, for example, would have a very lightheaded feel, and D7 would have a heavy head feel. How the weight is distributed determines the “feel” of the clubhead.

Swing weight should be the same for all your clubs to promote a consistency of feel, but the scale weight differs for each, with your sand wedge being the heaviest club in your bag. Your golf professional can help you

weigh your clubs and determine whether they are right for you.

Another way to tell if your clubs are too heavy is to monitor your last five rounds of golf to see if they become “heavier” as the round progresses. If you’re swinging the correct weight clubs, you shouldn’t notice much of a difference from your first swing to your last.

A sign that your clubs are too heavy is an overswing, where you lose control of the clubhead at the top of your swing as it dips well below your shoulders — the John Daly overswing. If you can see your clubhead out of the corner of your eye, have your clubs checked.

While it’s nice to inherit a set of clubs, problems can occur, especially if they’re men’s clubs and you’re a woman or a junior golfer. Men’s clubs are significantly heavier, so make sure you can handle the weight before you put them in your bag.

Obviously, there are problems when you order clubs through the mail or buy them off the rack without trying them, so unless you know your exact specifications, including the weight you want, always try before you buy, no matter how attractive the price.

SCIENCE SAYS

How to make a long drive a little longer The holy grail of long drives is to maximize launch angle and minimize backspin, but a problem occurs when you increase your driver’s loft because more loft means more spin and more spin means less distance. In a recent post on his website (tutelman. com/golf), engineer Dave Tutelman discusses the relationship between ball position, vertical gear effect and ball spin.

Tutelman suggests that to create low-spin/highlaunch ball flight, you need to adjust your ball position so that you catch the ball on the upswing. This increases your launch angle, but not your ball spin.

Plus, if you tee the ball high, you use the vertical gear effect (also called “roll”) built into your clubface, a compensation factor that decreases spin when contact is made above the center line of your driver’s face.

Tutelman concludes: “Two ways to increase driving distance are to hit up on the ball (increase the angle of attack) and to hit the ball higher on the clubface. Key to both is the proper ball position, which must be positioned farther forward in the stance and teed higher.”

Can good golf instruction get any simpler than this?
