supporters of the music and arts point out how important it is that Infi nity Visual and Performing Arts be able to fund their instruction costs at their new location.

All proceeds collected from the benefit go directly to fund arts education at Infi nity Visual and Performing Arts, which is dedicated to building the resiliency of the community’s youth through the offering of unique access to the arts. Students are encouraged to become totally immersed in arts and learning through the pursuit of creative risks in the hopes of discovering their infi nite potential.

“It’s important that the community understand that much of our program relies on donations and fundraising efforts like this one” says Hawkins.

By Daniel Meyer Star News Writer

With plans to move into a new location later this year, Infinity Visual and Performing Arts has high hopes for the eleventh annual “Local Music Showcase” fundraiser, scheduled to take place next weekend in the City of Jamestown.

With nearly 50 different musical acts scheduled to participate at 10 different venues, this year’s event will once again put some of the area’s most talented performers on center stage thanks to the collaboration of area musicians, local businesses and volunteers who work together to coordinate a full day of activities geared towards supporting music and arts education.

Scheduled to take place on Saturday, Sept. 6 starting at 6 p.m, the Local Music Showcase will be a main source of revenue for Infinity’s plans to start their new program year in October on the ground floor of the Lynn Building on East Second Street in Jamestown.

The new location represents an increase in overall size for instruction for those focused on advancing themselves in their pursuit of education in the music

and arts.

“The Local Music Showcase is our biggest fundraiser of the year, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to support instruction costs at Infi nity,” says Shane Hawkins, executive director of Infi nity Visual and Performing Arts.

The budget for the new Infi nity Visual and Performing Arts Center is $222,000, with a capital campaign for the renovation project underway. With budget cuts to various arts and youth programs in the area having taken place over the past few years,

Zucchini: Good for Dinner and Dessert

By Katy Wise Contributing Writer

not feeding them so I could fi nish their playspace.

So here's a promise I can keep, there will be a progress picture once I have made significant progress. Deal? Deal.

In the meantime, who else seems to have an abundance of zucchini right now? We don't have a garden, but we were recently given some zucchinis that are bigger than our dog.

He may only be a 5 lb.

Yorkie, but that doesn't change the fact that these vegetables are seriously huge.

What to do with these large veggies? They are undoubtedly a very versatile vegetable, but our two favorite zucchini recipes are Zucchini Parmesan and Zucchini Brownies.

If you find yourself with dog-sized piles of zucchinis, here are a couple of recipe ideas for you.

Although we have been on the subject of home renovation for a brief period of time, I am going to need to branch out. Just for this week, I promise.

If you caught last week's article, then you may have seen that I had hoped to post a progress picture this week.

Well.... Let's just say there's more work to be done. Sometimes I get a little ahead of myself with these projects.

There's always two options, number one being of course to finish the project as quickly as possible, forsaking all other household duties, and number two, which would be to pace myself in order to balance the project along with my existing projects of feeding, bathing etc. for our children and keeping our house from looking like a tornado Zucchini Parmesan went through it. ingredients needed: My children were not 1 large zucchini (or 2 ok with the idea of my medium), sliced

ments change almost every time I make this.

Just top it with mozzarella and/or Parmesan cheese to your heart’s content. You can sprinkle some Italian seasoning and garlic on top of the cheese for some extra flavor.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for about 25-30 minutes, or when cheese is thoroughly melted.

Zucchini brownies ingredients needed:

1 jar spaghetti sauce Mozzarella cheese Parmesan cheese Seasonings

Directions: One of the best things about this recipe is that it can easily be tailored to your taste buds.

I'm seen many variations on this recipe, such as frying the zucchini until it is tender

first.

I usually just bake it all at once, but if you have time to spare, feel free to try out some new ideas!

Lay the zucchini in a lightly greased 9x13 pan, and pour the spaghetti sauce on top.

The reason that I don't have measurements listed for the cheese is because the measure-

2 C. Shredded zucchini 1/2 C. Oil (or applesauce) 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla 1 Egg 1 1/2 C. Sugar 2 C. Flour 1/2 C. Cocoa 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. salt

add sugar and cocoa and mix well.

Stir together flour, baking soda and salt, then add to wet ingredients.

Combine well and pour into pan.

Bake for 20-25 minutes.

After brownies are cool, you can add chocolate frosting. Refrigerate (covered) with frosting until frosting is set.

Chocolate frosting ingredients needed:

1/4 C. Butter 1/4 C. Milk 1 tsp. vanilla 6 tbsp. Cocoa powder 4-6 C. Powdered sugar

region can make donations to two different funds to help the project move forward.

“We have the two funds and that is being handled by the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation,” explains Johnston. “At this point in time any type of donation to the project would be helpful. If people want to see this trolley car be restored and help keep a part of our past alive, they can help make our dream become a reality with a donation.”

The 1926 trolley car was stored in the City of Jamestown’s Parks Department garage for many years before being moved to the Jamestown Gateway Train Station last year. While the single-truck trolley car was one of the smaller ones that operated in Jamestown, it served as a major contributor to the early transportation days in the region.

What is in question at the moment is exactly what to do with the trolley car and where to display it once it is fully restored. With much attention being given to using the Jamestown Gateway Train Station as part of the planned National Comedy Center, there is some speculation that they may not be enough room for the trolley car to be housed at the former Erie-Lackawanna Train Station.

“We are trying to figure out what all of the hype and excitement and attention to the National Comedy Center will mean to us, but perhaps we will be looking for a new place and a new location to call home within a year or so,” says Johnston. “We are open to any and all ideas, so if anyone out there has some thoughts, please let us know.”

Johnston encourages local residents and trolley enthusiasts to track the progress of

their restoration work by visiting a website that will provide regular updates. Visitors to www.jamestowntrolley.org can find a variety of useful links that include a historical overview of streetcar operations of the Jamestown Street Railway, the specific goals of the restoration project and how potential donors can make a contribution to the project. In addition, Johnston says anyone with specific questions or wanting to volunteer their time, talents or materials can call him at (716) 338-5051.

“We appreciate all of the support and the donations that we have received in the past and thank anyone in advance for helping us out in the future,” says Johnston. “It would be nice to embrace our past and make this trolley car something that can be viewed and enjoyed and embraced for generations to come.”

Buying A Car: tips For improving your interest Rate

Contributed Article est rate as an incentive AutoTrader.com

If you're thinking about financing your next car, you're probably considering the interest rate.

An interest rate is one of the most important aspects of buying a car because it determines just how much you'll wind up paying: A high rate means you might be overpaying, while a low rate often means that borrowing is an excellent idea. How can you get a lower rate when you're buying your next car?

We have some ideas.

to choose a short-term loan. Unfortunately, a shorter-term loan has a catch: Your monthly payments will probably go up, even though your interest rate will go down, because you're stretching out your loan payoff over a shorter period of time.

In the verses previous to this scripture (Matthew 6:25-32), Jesus admonished us not to be worried or focus our attention on material things. He didn’t say that wanting these

Notice that in both references the Bible says all! Having all means “nothing lacking or missing.” It also tells us where the supply comes from…Him! God is a good God who desires that we come to Him with our needs so that He can be our provider and take care of us as His children.

He has promised in His Word that whatever we ask for, whatever we need…He will give it because of His great desire to take care of us (Matthew 7:7-11) as our Father!

Next week we will see that God not only wants our own needs met, but He wants us to have extra provisions in order to bless others in need!

Rev. Tim Stahlman Family Church Jamestown fcjamestown.org

Before there was ever Obamacare or any other man made system, God determined to supply man's need for health. There is absolutely nothing wrong with man's attempts to heal the human body; on the contrary hospitals, doctors, and medicines are a tremendous blessing.

However, the current outcry for government to provide all things for all people demonstrates that the world longs for what only the Gospel can supply: Peace and security. People crave security and are willing to give away their freedoms to get it. When we lean upon government to supply, the result is always losing more than what we could ever gain. Mark my words: As man

seeks utopia away from God the less utopia there will be. The more people seek healing from government, the less healing there will be. It's a Biblical fact: The days are coming upon us when man's only hope for health is found in God's Word.

Healthcare systems of man's making will fail and people will have less and less medical attention available to them. Here is what will happen: Healthcare will eventually be a luxury for only the affluent of society. When governments of the world go bankrupt, they will no longer be able to fund ANY government subsidized health plan.

Hospitals will become cash only or credit only institutions. Insurance companies will collapse and the rapidly disappearing middle class will be on their own. I don't know when this will happen but the writing is on the wall.

Having health insurance is not wrong; it's wise.

I am grateful to have health insurance. But as the cost of healthcare skyrockets less and less people will be able to have it. So what's our

hope? Our only hope is to develop a deep faith in God's Word to produce health in our bodies. Our only hope is to adopt a Biblical lifestyle that promotes spiritual, mental, and physical health. Proverbs 4:2022 says, "My son attend to MY WORDS (the Bible); incline your ear to my sayings. Let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart. For they (God's Words) are life to all those that find them and HEALTH TO ALL THEIR FLESH." God's Word is a spoken hospital.

God has healing on His breath. His Words are so sharp they literally penetrate each human cell and work a cure where one is needed. His Word can perform surgeries without leaving a scar.

His Word is the scalpel and the needle. God's Word is what medical science hopes to be one day. Now you will think differently about your Bible.

For God's Words to produce health in your body, they must be diligently obeyed and meditated upon.

They must be put into practice and they must be spoken upon your lips. Jesus healed a diseased man in John 5:14 and said, "...sin no more, lest a worse thing (disease) come upon you." Healing is not just a one time display; it is to be lived in our lifestyle. God designed our physical well being to respond to our spiritual well being. (Prov 14:30)

By the late 1800's, Fredonia had several churches, a library, a post office, and the fountains in Barker Commons, which still exist today. Also around this time, Fredonia became the first place in the US to have uncovered a natural gas well.

Some notable historical figures are Mark Twain, who owned a residence in the village, and Alonzo Cushing, an officer in the Civil War. Cushing’s actions, for which he will soon be awarded a medal of honor posthumously, were pivotal to the success of the Union. Additionally, prohibition got its start in Fredonia with the advent of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union.

While higher education has been a focus of Fredonia (first with The Normal School) since the 19th century, the actual University at Fredonia wasn't founded until 1948. At that time, it was much less developed. Many of the individual departments and buildings that Fredonia is known for today were

refi nished into a more foundationally sound structure about fi fty years later. In 1919, it was turned into an inn. Today they have an unparalleled reputation for elegance and top-notch dining.

However, you could walk five minutes down the road and be inside of BJ's, a college student dive bar where you can watch the owner cut a cake with a chainsaw on a refi nished bar. BJ's founded in 1933, boasts an extensive Bourbon collection, deep red lighting, and a collection of local odd-ball art and nick-knacks hung on the wall.

SHALL ESCAPE D i a ry nOnE THE CuRSE Of AvERAgE

Golfer's

By Stefan Gestwicki dering, there’s nothing Star Sports Editor

The Golfer’s Diary is a weekly column for golf lovers.

I am entering my third season as a golfer, so I’m not sure I totally qualify as a novice anymore, but I’ll discuss different courses, weather effects, new equipment and more relating to the game we love.

With golf season entering its last legs (at least comfortable golf season — there will be plenty of cold, wet golf to be had in the Fall), I’ve decided that I’m going to try to play 18 whenever possible until the end of the year.

I’ve only played 18 a handful of times this summer because, well, it’s hard to find that much time. There’s been a lot of talk about the game of golf suffering because 1) It’s really hard and 2) It’s time consuming. Well, ever since I started three years ago, I’ve decided that nine holes was plenty for me. All of my scores that I base my success/failure on are for nine holes. I really don’t even have a benchmark for 18 holes.

For those of you won-

you can do about No. 1.

Golf is just a very difficult game. Although I heard a proposition to make the cups twice as big because people often get very frustrated on the greens.

If putting were easier, perhaps more people would pick up/continue to golf. At least that’s the theory. Interesting, if nothing else.

The problem with playing only nine, at least for Bryan and I, is that we miss out on some cool back-nine pin placements, especially at Pinehurst Golf Club in Westfield. Some holes are made much easier (No. 8 to No. 17) and some are made quite a bit more challenging (No. 1 to No. 10). Yes, we could just play the blue tees when we go out and play nine, but wouldn’t you play 18 if you could?

On the drive out to Westfield, I had this feeling that I was going to play really well. I was in the zone before even picking up a club.

We’ve played at Pinehurst a lot this season and it always helps to know the greens and

which way you want to approach them from.

I’m always hopeful, but this time I was genuinely confident.

And you know what? I was right (for the most part). I came out of the gates with par, bogey, double-bogey. Obviously I could have done without the six on the scorecard, but that’s averaging bogey golf and puts me on pace for a 45, which I’d be very happy with.

But then I got caught fire a little bit. I ran off a string of par, par, bogey, par. That one bogey in there should have easily been a par but I choked on a super easy par putt on No. 6. That stretch put me at four-over par after seven holes. It put me in position to shoot my best round of the season if I could manage a par and a bogey.

Unfortunately I went double-bogey and par for a 42. Even still, 42 is tied for my best ninehole score of the season and I was feeling great.

While we were walking to the tee box for No. 10, I joked that I could shoot a 57 and still

break 100. Then I got to thinking that if I shoot a 47, I’ll actually break 90 — a feat I’ve only accomplished once.

Unfortunately (and I really wish I could explain it), I played horribly on the back nine. The wheels just completely fell off right from the first shot on No. 10. Somehow, someway, my scorecard ended up looking like this: double-bogey, bogey, double-bogey, TRIPLE-bogey (on a very easy par 3), double-bogey. That’s nine over par after five holes. For those of you keeping score at home, that’s not good.

I rebounded with two nice holes in a row, recording par on both the immensely long, 573yard, par-5 No. 15 and also No. 16. I added up my scores for the back nine and realized that miraculously I could still break 90 if I could go one-over for the final two holes. I usually hate adding my scores before the round is over because it puts unnecessary pressure on myself, but this time it actually rejuvenated me. I thought all hope was lost, but I still

had a chance.

With the tee boxes for No. 17 much closer to the green than No. 8, I was confident too. The difficulty No. 8 gives me is because it’s a very long par 4, but No. 17 is more normal length and doable for me. Sadly, my putter didn’t agree as I three-putted my way to a double-bogey.

Still, even with that, a birdie on No. 18 would give me an 89 for the day. Are you on the edge of your seat yet?

As well as I played for stretches, I didn’t have a birdie on the day, so perhaps I was due.

Perhaps not. I pushed my third shot a little bit right of the green and left myself with a chip-in opportunity (a relatively makeable one, too) for birdie. As soon as I hit the ball I knew I put too much on it and sure enough, the ball skipped past the hole. Just for good measure I missed the putt coming back and settled for a 91.

Before I started the round, if you would have told me that I would have shot a 91, I would have been ec-

static. That’s defi nitely better than average for me. But shooting a 42 followed by a 49 is a tough pill to swallow. I have no one to blame but myself. The weather was perfect. The course was incredible, as always. I just messed it up. I’ll get ‘em next time I suppose.

Going back to that point about the course itself, I’ve talked to a lot of people lately that have said they haven’t played Pinehurst in years. I implore you, please go play there.

You’ll be hard-pressed to find a better-maintained course. Not only that, but there are unique holes that will test golfers of all skill levels.

Of course, I’d be remiss not to mention the owners. Ryan and Nolan Swanson are just great guys. Going in after a round, having a beer and shooting the breeze with them is almost as good a time as golfing.

As always, golf is great.

Go get yourself some.

26 LoCAL sPoRts COMMENTARY:

By Stefan Gestwicki Buffalo defense was Star Sports Editor

It’s reached the point where you can barely call yourself an American if you don’t like the National Football League. Football, American football, simply keeps pushing that ceiling of popularity higher and higher.

Needless to say, the 2014 NFL regular season is much anticipated. There will surely be records set, the unthinkable will happen, the mighty will fall and the meek shall inherit the Lombardi Trophy…or something.

As this journalist has been known to do in the past, it’s time now for the obligatory 2014-2015 season teamby-team predictions.

Huzzah!

AfC EAST

buffALO biLLS

(Projected finish: 4th) What to like: The Bills traded up to grab Sammy Watkins in this year’s draft.

Combined with Fred Jackson, C.J. Spiller, Robert Woods, Marquise Goodwin and Bryce Brown, the Bills should have a relatively exciting offense. The ability to go three deep at the running back position should put them in good position should injury strike. The

pretty darn good last year and is bringing back most of the starters. Mario Williams, Kyle Williams, Marcell Dareus and Jerry Hughes make up a dynamic defensive line that should again rank among the league leaders in quarterback sacks.

Potential speed bumps: The injury to linebacker Kiko Alonso is devastating.

This is a guy that was Buffalo’s best defensive player not just last year, but in the last five years. Not since Jareus Byrd’s rookie year did the Bills have a playmaker like Alonso.

Speaking of Byrd, he’s now a Saint, though the secondary should still be okay. It’s the linebacking crew that looks fl imsy. And then there’s quarterback E.J. Manuel. The second-year pro did nothing to impress in his injury-riddle rookie campaign. He’s done little to impress in training camp or any of the preseason games. He has weapons. It’s up to him now.

MiAMi DOLPHinS

The Obligatory nfL Season Preview

the Patriots are the easy pick to win this division year in and year out. Here’s another thing: The Patriots were 10th in the NFL in passing yardage last season. Julian Edelman was the top receiver.

Nothing against Edelman, he’s a fine player, but with Rob Gronkowski back, the Patriots offense should be borderline unstoppable once again. Just don’t take a Bill Billichek running back for your fantasy team.

Another aspect to like about the Patriots’ prospects this season is the relatively easy schedule. On paper, there are 10 gimme wins there for the taking. Oh, and the rest of the division is garbage.

Potential speed bumps: Gronk’s health is always a big concern. As is defensive tackle Vince Wilfork’s. Both of those guys suffered through some terrible injuries last year, but remain keys to the Patriots’ success in 2014. The other concern might be defensively against the run. New England was 30th in the league against the run last year. They lost middle linebacker Brandon Spikes to free agency.

He was probably their best run stopper (besides a healthy Wilfork).

Darrelle Revis shores up the secondary, but the depth there could nEW EngLAnD PATRiOTS be a concern. Re(Projected finish: 1st) ally, though, there’s not much to worry about.

Brady. Until he retires,

but do the Dolphins really know what they have in him? Though he’s still more of a known commodity than Buffalo or New York has. Tannehill has weapons. Mike Wallace could have a nice bounce-back year and Brian Hartline is criminally underrated. Lamar Miller, Knowshon Moreno and Daniel Thomas are all solid out of the backfield. Charles Clay is an emerging tight end that Miami likes a lot. Cameron Wake is a monster from the left defensive end position.

Potential speed bumps: The Dolphins ranked in the bottom half of the league in passing yardage, rushing yardage, passing yardage allowed and rushing yardage allowed last season.

They’ll have to dramatically improve on at least a couple of those to keep pace in the East. The defensive secondary seems to be a patchwork of other teams’ castoffs.

Brent Grimes, Cortland Finnegan and Louis Delmas have all been run out of town by other teams. The linebacking corps is nothing to write home about either.

spent its first-round draft pick on cornerback Justin Gilbert. If Gilbert can do what he did in college, he’ll team with Joe Haden to form an unprecedented 1-2 punch at the position. The defense up front does exactly what it needs to do. They’re not flashy players and might not make many Pro Bowls, but it’s a solid front seven.

COMMEnTARy: THE ObLigATORy nfL SEASOn PREviEW, COnTinuED fROM PAgE 27 Brady is in the AFC East. He’s simply head and shoulders above what the other teams have, making it impossible to pick any other team to fi nish first.

Also, pulling the NFC East and AFC North on the schedule is the perfect storm. Those might just be (let’s face it, they are) the two weakest divisions in the NFL. The wins should pile up for the Colts.

There’s no reason the Colts shouldn’t go 6-0 down the stretch as the end of the schedule is particularly doable.

Luck has some serious weapons on offense, too, with the addition of Hakeem Nicks to go along with T.Y. Hilton and a healthy Reggie Wayne.

Potential speed bumps: Staying with the schedule, the Colts open in Denver and then home against Philadelphia — both prime time games and both difficult tests. If Indy starts 0-2, will there be any confidence issues? Also, for a team with such a great, young quarterback, the Colts only finished 17th in passing yardage and 21st in rushing yardage last season. That’s a team that plays on turf, too. The defense was 26th against the run last season, a problem that needs to be fixed or inDiAnAPOLiS COLTS opposing teams can take (Projected finish: 1st) the ball out of Luck’s What to like: There’s hands with a ground atonly one stable, firsttack.

Andrew He’d better step it up this Luck is quickly turnyear or it’ll be one of the ing into what Tom all-time worst trades.

J.J. Watt anchoring what should be a pretty good defense. Obviously Jadeveon Clowney adds another explosive weapon along that defensive line. New coach Bill O’Brien should bring some much-needed energy to the organization. A healthy Arian Foster will help some, but one has to wonder about the mindset of Andre Johnson.

Potential speed bumps: As much reason as there is to believe the Texans will improve from 2013, there’s plenty of reason to think it won’t be by very much. Ryan Fitzpatrick was brought in to start at quarterback. Fitz had a couple decent years in Buffalo, but never had a winning record. It’s hard to imagine he’ll be better all these years later. A suspension to D.J. Swearinger for a preseason hit certainly won’t help the defense, but it could still be a good unit if health remains intact. Of course, Brian Cushing has a serious injury history, so it might just be a matter of time for him.

JACKSOnviLLE JAguARS TEnnESSEE TiTAnS (Projected finish: 4th) What to like: Many experts agree that the Jaguars finally found their quarterback of the future in Blake Bortles. He certainly has the makeup of a solid NFL quarterback, something the Jags haven’t had in recent memory (Mark Brunell, anyone?). There’s no a lot to be excited about, but maybe it’s the little things: the Jags only have one long road trip on the schedule when they travel to San Diego in Week 4. The Jags have invested some high draft picks on the offensive line in recent years and perhaps they finally have a nice unit going.

Potential speed bumps: Where to begin?

This isn’t going to be a good team. Not by any stretch. They’re probably looking at another top-3 draft pick next season.

Toby Gerhart is listed No. 1 on the running back depth chart. Marcedes Lewis is somehow still this team’s starting tight end. The defense is fi lled with names that not even the most hardcore of NFL fans would recognize. Sen’Derrick Marks. Roy Miller. Geno Hayes. Dekoda Watson.

Winston Guy. Alan Ball.

These are all starters on the Jacksonville defense.

Would you trust these guys to stop Andrew Luck? No. No you would not.

(Projected finish: 2nd) What to like: New head coach Ken Whisenhunt should infuse some energy into this organization. He’s a guy with a history of righting quarterbacks.

There’s hasn’t been a whole lot to like about Jake Locker up to this point in his career, but the physical tools are there, no doubt. The conference and the division are both very weak, meaning the Titans could be a sneaky wild card pick. The schedule certainly looks inviting. The defense is very solid. The unit was 11th in the NFL against the pass last season, allowing just 225 yards per game. In today’s NFL, that’s stellar. Really, if Locker pans out, there’s no major weakness to this team.

Potential speed bumps: Again, there aren’t a whole lot of weaknesses to point out.

Gone are last year’s top rusher in Chris Johnson and top passer in Ryan Fitzpatrick, but there are few tears hitting the floor about that. The wide receiver group is just okay. Depth might be a concern should either Kendall Wright or Nate Washington go down. The running back committee is relatively unproven too, with Shone Greene listed as No. 1 on the depth chart but rookie Bishop

Sankey is expected to grab that role sooner rather than later. The team is also counting on proven failure Michael Oher to solidify the right tackle position.

(Projected finish: 1st) What to like: The Broncos are in win-now mode. There’s no doubt about that. Peyton Manning is coming off of a season for the ages and there’s little reason to think he’ll slow down. Montee Ball will get a chance to be the lead back, something he had great success with at Wisconsin. Emmanuel Sanders will get a chance to replace Eric Decker, which should lead to huge numbers for Sanders.

All-Pro left tackle Ryan Clady is back from being injured almost all of 2013. The defense added big names like Aqib Talib and DeMarcus Ware to go alongside what was already a nice unit with Von Miller, Terrance Knighton and Danny Travathan.

Potential speed bumps: Obviously if anything happens to Manning, this team would be in a lot of trouble, but what top quarterbacks can you not say that about? Kicker Matt Prater is suspended for the first four games.

probably a case of the sum being greater than the parts because there aren’t really big names here, but you could fi nd worse units.

Potential speed bumps: The schedule is a doozy. This division pulled the brutal NFC West, meaning games against the 49rs, Seahawks, Rams and Cardinals. None of those are a cakewalk.

Plus there are two more playoff teams right in the Chargers’ own division. There’s a stretch of Buffalo, Jacksonville, NY Jets and Oakland from Weeks 3-6, but the Chargers won’t get much of a breather.

They also have road games in Buffalo, Miami and Baltimore.

can’t even get a break off the field as every day there are rumors that this team is going to flee Oakland for Los Angeles. On the field, the Raiders now have not one, but two injuryprone running backs with Darren McFadden and Maurice JonesDrew. They have Matt Schaub as their starting quarterback — the same Matt Schaub that was throwing a pick-6 every game for Houston last season. Trent Edwards is on their roster as of right now.

James Jones is their No. 1 reciever. Preposterously washed-up Justin Tuck was their big off-season signing. My goodness this is going to be a bad team.

the Eagles. Turning to Nick Foles at quarterback was a brilliant decision. This is a team that finished No. 1 in rushing yards last year behind the dazzling LeSean McCoy. The guy can do it all.

Not only that, but they signed Darren Sproles, who is essentially McCoy Mini and should be able to take some of the load off of McCoy’s shoulders. Jason Peters and Lane Johnson form a great pair of bookend tackles on the offensive line and Zach Ertz is an emerging star at tight end. Of course, Brent Celek is still in the mix at that position, too. It’s hard to top that duo.

Potential speed bumps: The defense isn’t good. Of course, none of the defenses in this division are any good, so it might not matter a whole lot until the playoffs. It’s a unit that was dead last in the NFL against the pass last year. Obviously that needs to be improved upon. The schedule is rough, too.

The NFC West provides four tough games and the Eagles have road trips to Indianapolis and Green Bay on the schedule as well.

The offense will be good, but if there’s an issue, it’ll be with the wide receivers.

of them. Dez Bryant is entering a contract year and will be looking for the ball a lot.

Big numbers equal big dollars. Jason Garrett is absolutely coaching for his job at this point. We might see some aggressive play calling. Romo has undeniable chemistry with Jason Witten and Terrance Williams is being hyped as a bigtime No. 2 receiver.

Potential speed bumps: The defense is the worst in the league.

Few people would argue with that point. This was a unit that was atrocious last year and will now be without both Sean Lee (injury, again) and DeMarcus Ware (signed with the Broncos). Those are guys that absolutely won’t be a case of addition by subtraction.

Tyron Smith might be the best left tackle in the game, but the rest of the line is awful. DeMarco Murray is a great running back…for about two games per season.

The rest of the time he just gets bottled up or is standing on the sideline in street clothes. The division is bad, but there’s little hope in Dallas.

rings. He’s had success in the past that makes it possible to envision good things in 2014 if he can cut back on the turnovers that totally destroyed the Giants’ 2013 season.

Victor Cruz, Rueben Randle and rookie Odell Beckham should give Manning plenty of open targets. Injuries have hurt the running back position for years in NY, but Rashad Jennings and Andre Williams have the potential to be a nice tandem.

Potential speed bumps: Manning’s 2013 turnoverfest wasn’t just a one-time deal. He’s done it in years past as well. If he even comes close to matching the ugliness of last season, 2014 doesn’t have much of a chance either. The defense is boom or bust. There are some nice names on that side of the ball. Jon Beason.

Dominique RodgersCromartie. Antrel Rolle. Quintin Demps.

Jason Pierre-Paul. Cullen Jenkins. But all of those guys have a ton of miles on their bodies.

How much longer can any of them play at a high level? If they start showing their age, the Giants defense could turn south real fast.

Matthew Stafford, this offense is second to none at the skill positions.

Technically Brandon Pettigrew is still listed as the No. 1 tight end, but let’s be serious here. The Lions have sunk a lot of draft picks and money into their defensive line and Ndamukong Suh is just about as good as they come. Antics aside, Suh is a force from his tackle position. Rashean Mathis was brought in to shore up the cornerback position, which has been a huge weakness in years past.

Potential speed bumps: Suh’s linemate, Nick Fairley, showed up to camp overweight and out of shape. This coming off the best season of his career. The Lions are spending a ridiculous 40 percent of their salary cap on Suh, Megatron and Stafford.

If any of those three get hurt, it’s probably goodbye season. Like the Bears, this is a team that will be able to put up points, but it simply won’t be able to stop anyone unless they run right at Suh. The secondary is a joke and the linebackers are nothing to write home about. The Lions are a trendy pick every year, but every year they fall flat.

knows what to do with.

Matt Forte is a do-it-all running back. Alshon Jeffery and Brandon Marshall are the best wide receiver duo in the league (sorry, Atlanta).

Martellus Bennett is a solid tight end. The offensive line is much improved from those troubling seasons two or three years ago. This is a good, good offense.

Potential speed bumps: Aaaaaand then there’s the defense.

This unit will almost certainly keep the Bears from seriously threatening the Packers in this division. Jared Allen was a nice signing, but is he really an upgrade from the lost Julius Peppers. Lance Briggs is still a nice player, but there’s not a lot to like on this defense. Keep in mind that this division is stacked with offensive superstars like Calvin Johnson, Aaron Rodgers, Adrian Peterson, Matthew Stafford, Eddie Lacy and Cordarelle Patterson. How can this defense expect to slow down those guys? At least they get to open against the Bills.

Editor’s note: With full disclosure, I’m a massive Packers fan. I’ll try to stay objective.

What to like: Aaron Rodgers will almost certainly return to MVP form if he can stay healthy. Realistically, this team made the playoffs without him last year. How does that make every other team in the division feel? Defense has been this team’s undoing since its Super Bowl win a few years back, but that looks to have finally been addressed. Julius Peppers was brought in to give Clay Matthews another partner in crime.

First-round pick, safety HaHa Clinton-Dix should help shore up a position of need. Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb are one of the better receiver duos in the league and Eddie Lacy gives the Packers a dangerous ground attack, too.

Potential speed bumps: The Packers have to travel to Seattle to play the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks to kick off the season. That’s a rough way to start. Not many teams can go into that stadium and win, especially with a new center like the Packers have. Defensive tackle B.J. Raji is already lost for the season with a torn bicep, which leaves a gaping hole in the middle of the defense.

Former first-round picks Nick Perry and Datone Jones have done nothing with their NFL careers up to this point.

COMMEnTARy: THE ObLigATORy nfL SEASOn PREviEW, COnTinuED fROM PAgE 32 Those two, plus now healthy running back Doug Martin, should give the Bucs something they haven’t had in awhile — a productive offense.

Potential speed bumps: It’ll be up to the defense to improve from last season. This is a unit with talent, no doubt. Lavonte David, Gerald McCoy, Mark Barron, Dashon Goldson and newly signed Michael Johnson probably won’t light up the headlines, but that’s a solid group. If the role players can fi ll in around them (and that’s a big IF), this could be a good defense. Connor Barth missed nearly all of 2013 with an injury, but the Bucs could use his reliable leg at the kicker position. Doug Martin’s health will be something to keep an eye on as he was a huge weapon when he was healthy two years ago.

because it plays in a brutal division. This is a defense that led all of the NFL against the run in 2013. Again, that’s playing against noted run-fi rst offenses in San Francisco and Seattle. The Cards have assembled quite the offense of their own with Carson Palmer playing great the second half of 2013. Wide receivers Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd are incredibly dangerous and they both might pale in comparison to running back Andre Ellington. The guy is a broken play waiting to happen. The offensive line isn’t too bad, either. This team should be able to put up points even against the 49ers and Seahawks.

Potential speed bumps: Unfortunately, the defense has already suffered some devastating injuries.

Team leader Darnell nfC WEST Dockett is lost for the season. Safety Tyrann Mathieu is banged up. Linebacker Kevin Minter is banged up.

It’s a shame because this could be the best unit in the league ARiZOnA CARDinALS potentially.

SAn fRAnCiSCO 49ERS

(Projected finish: 2nd) What to like: The 49ers’ 2013 rankings are impressive. Third in rushing yards. Seventh in passing defense.

Fourth in rushing defense. It’s hard to do much better than that.

It’s also hard to improve on three-straight runs deep into the playoffs. Yet, the 49ers have a Super Bowl-orbust mentality because they’re just that good.

Colin Kaepernick has really developed into a dangerous quarterback. He has a nearly unparalleled combination of speed and arm strength. There could be a list of just about every player on the San Francisco roster in this “what to like” section.

Offense. Defense. Special teams. The trenches. The skill positions.

The 49ers have it all.

Potential speed bumps: The Seahawks clearly represent the 49ers’ biggest hurdle.

To be the best, you have to beat the best. Those head-to-head matchups will be fun to watch in 2014. The defense will have to start the season without NaVorro Bowman and Aldon Smith, but there’s plenty of talent to make up for those loses. The defensive sec-

So really, if there’s anything What to like: What’s that can be questioned not to like? This is a about the Seahawks, team that just steamit’s all on offense.

ning back Zac Stacey and you’re really only missing one thing from a truly great team.

Potential speed bumps: And that one thing is quarterback.

Right now, the Rams will be running out Shaun Hill as their starting quarterback.

That can’t be allowed to happen. Surely they have to be working on a trade for the Patriots’ Ryan Mallett or Jimmy Garoppolo, right? This team is way too talented to flush a season down the toilet with Shaun Hill as quarterback. Please, Rams, don’t let that happen. As with the all the other teams in this division, a huge speed bump is simply the division itself. You can’t have four playoff teams come from one division.

So there it is. Over 7,500 words on the upcoming National Football League season. Kudos if you made it to the end.

Bills Hopes Hinge On Familiar Question

By John Wawrow AP Sports Writer

Ralph Wilson often lamented the one obstacle standing in the way of the Bills' success during their current 14-season playoff drought was a failure to identify a franchise quarterback.

From Alex Van Pelt to Drew Bledsoe and now EJ Manuel, none of the eight quarterbacks who started at least eight games for Buffalo since 2000 has held the job beyond three seasons. And only one, Bledsoe in 2004, led the team to a winning record.

With the Bills up for sale after Wilson, the franchise founder and Hall of Fame owner, died in March, the quarterback position remains a question mark under Manuel, the latest heir apparent.

The big leap in development the Bills were seeking has yet to materialize from the first-round draft pick entering his second year following an inconsistent and injuryplagued rookie season. ''With EJ, obviously we're looking for him to progress and to keep coming along,'' coach Doug Marrone said. ''We're going to stick with him. I'm going to support him 110 percent. And we're going to get him better.''

Marrone added he's looking for more production from everyone on offense in preparing to open the season at Chicago on Sept. 7.

Though the defense under new coordinator Jim Schwartz remains Buffalo's strength, the offense continues to be a work in progress.

And a cause for frustration on a team that has not won more than six games since 2008.

Those frustrations boiled over during a 27-14 preseason loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday, when the Bills were booed off the field trail-

Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Larry English, right, sacks Buffalo Bills quarterback EJ Manuel (3) during the first half of a preseason NFL football game Saturday, Aug. 23, 2014, in Orchard Park, N.Y. (AP Photo/Gary Wiepert)

ing 24-0 at halftime.

Marrone said the boos were deserved.

Running back Fred Jackson said the offense can't let itself be defined by yet another poor performance. And second-year receiver Marquise Goodwin took to Twitter in questioning Bills fans' loyalties by writing: ''Looks like we will have to play against our own 'fans' this year.''

Goodwin stood by his comments Monday. ''It's just something that I felt at the time, I felt like it needed to be said,'' Goodwin said. ''Obviously, everybody knows what happened.

We didn't come out. We didn't have a good first half and whatnot for whatever reason.''

It wasn't the first time. The starters went 18 straight preseason possessions without scoring a touchdown until Manuel hit receiver Mike Williams on Buffalo's first drive of the third quarter against the Buccaneers' second-stringers.

got news?

Here are some more things to look out for from the Bills: STOPPING THE RUN: Schwartz has quickly transformed the defense into a run-stuffing unit. Buffalo's starters have allowed 80 yards rushing on 40 carries through their first four preseason games. That's a marked improvement after the Bills allowed 150-plus yards rushing seven times last season.

Schwartz is the former Lions head coach who took over in Buffalo after Mike Pettine left for Cleveland.

The Bills also added run-stuffing middle linebacker Brandon Spikes in free agency. ''I don't want to get ahead of that stuff but, hey, the proof 's in the pudding,'' Spikes said, praising Schwartz. ''He wants us getting vertical, getting disruptive, causing havoc.''

WATKINS WATCH: Rookie receiver Sammy Watkins made numerous highlight-reel catches, including a one-handed grab after stumbling while making his cut,

in the first three weeks of camp before being sidelined by bruised ribs.

Watkins is expected to be ready for the opener, and has been lining up across from Williams, acquired in an offseason trade with Tampa Bay. The Bills invested plenty in Watkins by trading next year's first-round pick to move up five spots and take him fourth overall.

O-LINE SHUFFLE: The offensive line was in flux until Marrone settled on his starting five last week. Center Eric Wood and left tackle Cordy Glenn are the only returning starters.

Rookie Seantrel Henderson takes over at right tackle, replacing Erik Pears, who shifts to right guard.

Free agent Chris Williams will start at left guard.

MARRONE ON EDGE: Whether it's providing terse answers to reporters, or blowing up at his players during practice, Marrone's emotions have shown through entering his second season.

Marrone, most notably, lit into his players on the final day of camp following a series of fights and post-whistle shoves. ''This year, it's critical to get us over the top,'' Marrone said, referring to his edgier demeanor. ''I'm doing everything I possibly can to get us over the top. And if intensity is the answer, yeah, I'm intense.''

FOR SALE: One reason Marrone might be upping his intensity level is that his future is uncertain with new ownership expected to be identified by as early as October.

Buffalo Sabres owners Terry and Kim Pegula are considered the front-runners to buy the team among a short list of prospective finalists that includes New York City real estate mogul Donald Trump, and a Toronto-based group led by rocker Jon Bon Jovi.
