Horse Trail May Spark ‘Environmental Tourism’ in Chautauqua By Daniel Meyer Star Contributing Writer

A grassroots effort to preserve abandoned rail corridors located throughout Chautauqua for conversion into safe off-road trails for recreational use is building momentum, with a long-term goal of establishing an extensive public-private trail riding system clearly in sight. Volunteers from Lou Ebil Corral, a trail riding club with grounds on Rood Road in Cherry Creek, has been working closely with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to establish a trail that will allow horseback riders to trot into the Village of Cherry Creek and eventually connect to trails at Cockaigne Ski Center and Canadaway Creek Wildlife Area. The cooperation being shown by

Volunteers take a horseback ride along the developing Chautauqua County Equestrian Trail System.

“It was a good sign right off the bat because Greg jumped right in there,” said Whittington. “He was very supportive and that I believe helped lead to officials from Cherry Creek and the surrounding communities to being open and very receptive to what we proposed.” an East Aurora resident who serves as president of Lou Eibl Corral. “The The focus on what Whittington and politicians, the citizens of Cherry others intimately involved with the Creek, the various individual private trail project call “environmental land owners... really, it is has been so tourism” is promising to provide an wonderful to see how great everyone economic boost to the area. has come together for this project.” “We really have hopes and dreams of Whittington says sound leadership this running all throughout Chautaufrom the county has helped guide qua County and it will help to play off the project along, with Chautauqua of all of the positives of our region,” County Executive Greg Edwards pro- said Whittington. “We see people viding “tremendous support” from riding horses into Cherry Creek and the very beginning. going for lunch or dinner or getting

The trails would be available for a wide variety of outdoor recreational activities as well as environmental studying opportunities for the public at large and field trips and special group outings sponsored by

The recovery approach is used by many substance abuse and mental health organizations as a more effective means of helping people. Recovery is seen as a more personal, more individualized process that can and often does include the concepts of hope, security, identity, relationships, empowerment, coping strategies, and purpose. Hope is an important step because it allows people to believe in themselves, giving them perseverance through the process. Security in home, income and safety is another important part of recovery, as this creates stability for the person involved. we want to thank that I can’t makes sense for the comAllowing the person to munity as a whole, have been mention them all, but it’s so reestablish a sense of self and more than receptive and have encouraging to see these small identity is another step in the really stepped up and offered groups of people come torecovery process.

sors and potential problems and develop a plan for how to deal with situations that may arise. One final aspect of the recovery approach is bringing meaning and purpose to the person’s life. This can be done through finding a meaningful job or even through religion or culture. This helps the person to develop an identity and sense of worth. With individuals challenged by mental illness, the recovery approach allows them to stay as in control of their lives as possible. This process is also helpful in these situations because it focuses on the person and not the disorder or the symptoms. The same goes for substance abusers. This type of recovery process helps them deal with their addictions in a way that is constructive and helps them focus on the future instead of the past. It allows them to develop identity outside of destructive substances, creating a sense of meaning in their lives. The most important aspects of the recovery approach are forming the program to the individual and allowing the individual to be independent,

instead of relying solely on a service provider. These are key parts of a successful recovery. “We are fortunate that many mental health agencies in our community are now offering person-centered care. We focus on individual recovery, and we believe that recovery is possible for all individuals with disabilities. We have a person-centered recovery focus of care that builds on a person’s unique strengths and aspirations,” said Michelle Williams, the director of mental health services at The Resource Center, which supports Chautauqua County residents with disabilities, including people with behavioral challenges. Many people have gone through this process successfully and now live changed, more independent, more confident lives. National Recovery Month helps people celebrate these success stories, and it helps make those with substance abuse or mental health challenges become aware of the options they have to begin to live life more fully. To learn more about local resources available to assist people with their recovery, phone 483-2344.

remember their sin no more.” (Jer 31:34) He has said, “I blot out your transgressions for my sake…I will not remember your sins.” (Isaiah 43:25) He vowed, “As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions.” (Psalm 103:12) The Blood of Jesus has so thoroughly washed away my sin that even God cannot remember where the stain was. It doesn’t stop there. God goes on to write a book for all that serve Him faithfully. Malachi 3:16 says, “…a book of remembrance was written before Him for them that feared the Lord…” Since God

has washed away your sins with the Blood of His Son, the only thing He has to write about is your merits. “For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love…” (Heb 6:10) God is preparing a book filled with accomplishments of faithfulness. There will come a time in eternity when God will open your book. He will meticulously point out the times when you refused to quit. He will remind you of when you stayed the course even when trial came against you. You will stand by as He reads about your prayers of faith in times of enemy attack. He will remind you of

the times you trusted Him to meet all your needs. He will describe vividly how your faith came before Him as a sweet smelling sacrifice. The book will be a testament of your service in the local church. What a time that will be with the Father as He reads about your faith in front of all Heaven. It’s amazing to me how God designed Himself to forget the sinful and remember the faithful. He did the one thing we all wanted someone to do for us. Isn’t that Someone worth living for?

Keeping the Faith

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

Dear Pastor, my spouse and I are drifting apart. How can we get close again? Many marriages find themselves “losing the luster” of their newlywed days. However disheartening, some believe that this is “just the way it is” and learn to live with it. But does it have to be this way? The answer is “no!” It is God’s desire that we grow closer and more in love with our partner as the years go on. Is this really possible today? Absolutely! God’s Word will work for

those who are willing to follow His direction. So what does the Bible say we can do to get the “luster” back in our relationship? The Bible likens the marriage relationship to Christ’s relationship to the church. In the Book of Revelation, Jesus gave counsel to a church on how to “rekindle their love for Him” (Revelation 2:1-5). This church was “going through the motions” of Christianity and their love for the Lord had grown cold. Does this sound like your

marriage? And what was the answer that Jesus gave to the church? Jesus told the church to do two things - repent and then do the “first works.” When applied to marriage, repentance simply means that each of you must acknowledge wrongs and admit a sincere desire to improve your relationship. When you open the door through mutual repentance you bring back the desire to do those things that you did for each other when you first fell in love. These are the “first

works” that Jesus recommended. Maybe he brought you flowers or she used to fix your lunches for work. Maybe it was something as simple as saying “I love you” before you leave the house. These “little courtesies”, forgotten after being married awhile, can rebuild respect and intimacy and help you to remember why you fell in love in the first place. My advice to you is to schedule quality time, free from distractions, where you and your spouse can sit down and

talk about your marriage. From this conversation, hopefully, both of you will admit that your marriage could be better. An intimate marriage takes consistent effort on the part of both partners to make improvement. If you apply Jesus’ directives to your marriage, it will begin to “rekindle the flame” and you can begin to have the wonderful and fulfilling relationship that God desires for you!

SENIOR SECTION Matching Senior Cats With Senior Citizens In Our Community Contributed Article Marie Edwards

Ten Lives Club non-profit cat adoption group located in the Southtowns wants to share with the community and other counties a fantastic program they were able to start to help seniors through a grant they received through the PETCO Foundation. Presently, their “Senior Kitty” program, which matches older cats in their program with seniors in the community, is partially funded by the United Way through their designated agency program. Dozens of employees from companies in WNY and Niagara & other counties contribute through their paycheck to make this program happen. Cats must be 5 years of age or older or harder to place cats that may need a one-on-one home environment. Their

program waives their standard adoption fee for adult cats and instead requests the senior or family member to make a donation to the group. The senior receives a healthy, fully vetted, spayed or neutered cat, updated on all their shots with a vet checklist from our shelter vet noting the cat was examined and is ready for adoption. The group will even provide an one month supply of food, litter, litter pan and litter scooper to those seniors who need such help to get started with their new pet. With further aid from this PETCO grant, Ten Lives Club is taking this program a step further to help those seniors who wish to adopt a cat but may not be able to pay the high security pet deposit required by many senior facilities, apartment complexes or those rent-

ing through a landlord. Up to $300.00 for a pet security deposit may be paid by the group for eligible seniors wishing to adopt a cat who may not be able to afford such an expense. Any senior interested in adopting a cat into their lives “furever”, please contact Ten Lives Club at 646-5577. This program is also available for active military or veterans to enjoy pet ownership. Proper adoption protocol, which is standard with any adoption, will need to be followed. Speaking to their landlord or apartment manager along with a signed agreement will also be necessary before any adoption takes place. The group will work with the senior or veteran or veteran’s family to find that special cat to fit their needs. The group requests that those who are interested

in adopting a pet from this unique program, call their shelter at 646-5577 in Hamburg to make an appointment to view the nearly 75+ cats to choose form. At the shelter they will be able to personally sit, meet and greet with the cats there all awaiting that furever home. Whether they need a declawed cat per their facility pet policy or personal wish, a lap cat they may desire, or a cat good with little children and people should they have many visitors, their organization’s adoption volunteers or staff will help them find that “purrfect“ match. TLC is thrilled to announce this new adoption program as they know it will make a great impact in enriching the lives of seniors in our community. Any donations in support of this program are very appreciated and can be sent to Ten Lives Club, PO Box 253, North Boston, New York, 14110 or can be made through credit card on their website tenlivesclub.com For further information on this program or to find out more on Ten Lives Club and all they do and how you can help, contact them at 6465577. To adopt an adult cat or kitten, to adopt a barn or garage cat or to make a donation such as theme baskets, items of value for their auctions at their many fundraisers, gift certificates of any nature or to volunteer at their Hamburg shelter, any of their WNY adoption store sites or their Tabbytown McKinley Mall main adoption site, call 646-5577. Tax receipts can be provided to all those who help with this program or that donate items to keep them running.

Audubon Taking Fieldtrip to Elk Country

Contributed Article Audubon Center and Sanctuary

The Audubon Center and Sanctuary is offering a rare opportunity: a fieldtrip to learn about and possibly see or hear elk. At noon on Wednesday, Sept. 19, the Audubon van will depart for Benezette, Pennsylvania, to visit the beautiful new Elk Country Visitor Center and dine at the Benezette Hotel. Elk once roamed much of North America but began to disappear from the East in the 1800s due to overhunting and habitat destruction. Reintroduction programs beginning in the early twentieth century brought wild stock from western populations back east. One strong population can be found in Benezette, Pa., a 2.5 hour drive from Audubon. By September, males have regrown antlers and are attracting females with a bugling call. It is possible to observe skirmishes between males for territory and mates at this time of year, as well. The fieldtrip will be hosted by Rick Rupprecht, who has observed the elk in this area since he was in high school and tries

to make an annual trip back to see them. In addition, the group will meet Eric Perlock, Elk Biologist Aide, in Benezette and he will describe his work with elk biologists who are tracking the animals using radio collars. Some participants may recognize Eric from his assisting in bird banding at Audubon. Participants should dress for comfort in the van and for the weather. Bring binoculars, cameras, snacks, and money for dinner. For more information about the Elk Country Visitor Center, with its 4D Disneyinspired theater, visit http:// www.ExperienceElkCountry. com/. The trip is limited to 10 people in the van. Others are welcome to carpool. Return will be approximately 11 p.m. Cost is $20/member; $30/ non-member. Reservations with payment is required by Saturday, Sept. 15. For more information on this and other Audubon opportunities, call (716) 569-2345 or visit http://jamestownaudubon.org.

Are You Living With Knee Pain? Partial Knee Replacement May Be An Option.

away causing pain, swelling and reduced mobility. If the wear is confined to one area of the knee, partial knee replacement may be a surgical option for patients. What is the difference between a partial knee replacement and a total knee replacement? The knee joint is made up of three bones: the femus, the tibia and the patella or kneecap. The femur contacts the tibia with two areas, called condyles, the medial condyle

and the lateral condyle. The underside of the kneecap also contacts the femus and tibia as it glides along the groove in the femur. Any of these three areas of contact can fall victim to the wear and tear effects of arthritis causing pain, heat, stiffness and swelling. Total knee replacement involves the replacement of all three surfaces with metal and plastic components. If arthritis is limited to either the lateral or medial compartment of the knee, partial knee replacement may be considered. “If non-surgical treatments aren’t relieving knee pain, we can help individuals return to normal daily activities with knee replacement surgery,” said William Fritz, MD, board-certified orthopedic surgeon on the medical staff at WCA Hospital. “The goal of knee replacement surgery is to decrease pain and restore function. Although total knee replacement is an excellent option for patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, other surgical options exist. Patients with osteoarthritis that is limited to just one part of the knee may be candidates for unicompartmental knee replacement or partial knee replacement.” What are the advantages to partial knee replacement? There are a number of advantages of partial knee replacement when compared with total knee replacement,

including: Preserves healthy bone and ligaments of the knee and restores your knee’s normal motion. By preserving healthy cartilage, bone and ligaments, your knee is able to retain more of its natural function. Less blood loss during surgery Faster recovery time “Partial knee replacement may be an option for those who have painful, debilitating arthritis limited to one area of the knee and no longer get relief from conservative measures such as physical therapy, medications or weight loss,” explains Dr. Fritz, a highlyskilled orthopedic surgeon with more than twenty-five years experience in orthopedic surgery. “Only a physician can determine if you are a candidate for partial knee replacement and you should discuss the risks and potential outcomes from surgery with your doctor.” Partial Knee Replacement: The Right Choice for You? When knee pain is so bad that it interferes with the things you enjoy in life, the time may be right for partial knee replacement. To make an appointment to learn more about partial knee replacement, contact William Fritz, MD, board certified orthopedic surgeon at WCA Hospital Orthopedics, at (716) 485-7990.

It’s Your Knee. Help Keep It That Way. Ask Your Physician Questions. • Is osteoarthritis a factor in my knee pain? • Will reducing activity, taking pain medications, getting injections or adding physical therapy help ease my pain? • Would a knee replacement or partial knee resurfacing procedure provide relief from my knee pain? • Am I candidate for partial knee replacement? • What are the benefits and risks involved with knee replacement surgery? • How long will it take to recover from knee replacement surgery? • How long can I expect the implant to last? • How does my age affect the proper treatment for my condition?

‘Tuesdays for Tots’ Focuses on Quality Child Care Contributed Article Chautauqua Child Care Council

Tuesdays have been declared “Tuesdays for Tots” in New York State as part of the “Quality for Kids Campaign,” a project of the Early Care & Learning Council. According to campaign organizers, “…leveraging the collective power and knowledge of New York State’s CCR&R (Child Care Resource and Referral) network and its partners…will engage policymakers and create awareness around the need for quality child care.” The Chautauqua Child Care Council, CCR&R for Chautauqua County and a program of Chautauqua Opportunities, Inc., has signed onto the campaign to help

spread the word that quality early care matters. Research has shown that 75% of a child’s brain growth and 85% of his or her intellect, personality, and social skills will develop before the child’s fifth birthday. Recognizing the significance of these statistics, various programs and agencies throughout New York State have started initiatives dedicated to improving the quality of early care and learning programs. QUALITYstarsNY is one such initiative and is intended to help exemplary programs receive the recognition they deserve and to encourage other programs to strive for quality improvement. QualitystarsNY would also

help parents choose quality care for their children by assigning a number of “stars” to child care sites, much like a hotel or restaurant might be assigned a number of stars or diamonds, in accordance with the standard of services they provide. These childcare sites include registered and licensed family/group family child care providers, child care centers, and school aged programs. The number of stars attached to each site would give parents an indication of the standard of care and education they can expect their child to receive in a particular program. The Chautauqua Child Care Council offers a number of services to childcare profes-

sionals and parents as well as businesses. As part of Tuesdays for Tots, the Council invites parents, providers, policy makers and all concerned community members to submit questions and comments to the Council’s email address at Childcare@chautopp.org. Those individuals who do not have access to the Internet are encouraged to contact the Council at 1-800-4 Childcare (1-800-424-4532.) Questions and answers or comments will be posted at the discretion of the Council each week on the Council’s web site at chautopp. com and may also be shared with policy makers.

Red Cross Update Contributed Article ARCSNY

Labor Day weekend brought the end of the summer with a day of events. The annual boat parade was held with a number of local boaters participating, followed by the steel band concert at the beach, and the famous “Ducky Derby” sponsored by the Cassadaga Lakes Association. The Cassadaga American Legion Sons held a clam and corn roast at their hall. Shown in the photograph are some of the residents watching the boat parade. From left are Sue Lawson, Susan Sipos, Diane Shaw, Marna Terry Wolaver, Charlotte Otterbein, their dog “Ann” and Keith Otterbein. The wonderful weather conditions added to the happy time.

The American Red Cross of Southwestern New York, which serves Allegany, Cattaraugus and Chautauqua counties, participated in the TriDunkirk Multi-Sport event in Dunkirk on August 26. Participants from all over competed in running, cycling and swimming events. The American Red Cross provided volunteers for setup on Saturday, as well as on the course during Sunday’s event. “The Chapter would like to thank everyone who helped make the TriDunkirk event a success,” said Kathy Burch, Assistant Executive Director of the Southwestern NY Chapter. “We were fortunate

to have some of our Red Cross volunteers here to help, as well as volunteers from the RSVP program, the Boy Scouts, Cassadaga Job Corps, and many spontaneous volunteers.

Flavor of the Week – Ye Hare ‘n Hound Chautauqua Star Staff Ye Hare ‘n Hounds family restaurant in Bemus Point has successfully preserved the tradition of good food with family and friends for the last 25 years. The restaurant started out as a summer home for the Emery family in 1915. They designed it as a replica of an old English Inn. A lot of the original crafting materials like wood and brick was imported from England. To this day the restaurant remains in its original state. Except that there was a side dining room added in the 80’s as a banquet hall for private parties. In the early 20’s the home was sold as a tea room. They were popular during the prohibition and when the steamers used to be on the lake. The story goes that it was lost in a card game. But, that remains to be verified. Back then there were three stories to the building. The upper two floors were used as lodging. There was also a frame building with rooms where the parking lot is now. It stopped being an inn in the mid 60’s. Ye Hare ‘n Hounds has been an established restaurant in Chautauqua County since 1921. Jennifer Garrett, the current owner and her husband Mike took over in 1988. Even though it is no longer an inn, the tradition of provid-

ing guests with great food in a warm atmosphere remains in tact. “Both the name and the feel stuck with us for the last 24 years,” said Garrett. Garrett herself actually worked at the Ye Hare ‘n Hounds in her youth. It was her first job in her teens. “I had no idea then that I’d own it someday,” she said. “I was a registered nurse when we decided to buy. We couldn’t have done it without the help of Mike’s parents George and Joy Garrett.” The dining experience is incredibly important to Garrett and her staff. Everything is all made to order and “We do take pride in our work,” she said. “We try not to use anything premade or prebought or ready made. Plus, all of our desserts are actually home made by me.” According to Garrett the food is different and unique. “No one else has a menu like ours. Everything is unique in its own way,” said Garrett. The Seafood Julienne has been on the menu since Garrett worked there in the mid 70’s. It is a casserole dish that features shrimp, scallops and lobster broiled together with mushrooms and a crumb base in herb butter. “It’s been tweaked here and there but it’s been on the menu for about 40 years.” she said. Many of the employees have been working with Garret for

At Ye Hare ‘n Hounds there aren’t any live entertainment or events to distract customers from the food experience. Every customer is treated like they are coming to dinner at a friend’s or family’s house. Eating is an experience individualized to each customer’s preference. Every meal is prepared personally by Executive Chef Jon Mayr and his assistant Jon Greene. For the last 17 years Mayr has been working with Garrett to perfect the menu. He never studied culinary arts but he had plenty of opportunity to learn from great chefs who did study. “I learned by working with other great chefs,” said Mayr. “Just jumping in and going for it is a great way to do anything.” Mayr is the sauce and saute chef. Greene does all the steaks and helps with any prep work. The menu features many great creations by the duo. But, their work really shines on the specials menu. The daily specials are where they try to have fun. They try to create meals that they would eat themselves. “We try and keep everything fresh,” said Mayr. “We do this both by using fresh vegetables and by coming up with things that you can’t find anywhere else. A lot of the time we just put something together just to see how it tastes. Sometimes we get home runs and some-

times we strike out. But, don’t worry only the home runs make it onto the menu.” No matter the season or weather it is always a great time to stop in. “During the winter we light the fire place and you’re warm and cozy enjoying a great meal while the snow is falling outside,” said Garrett. The Garrett family has worked hard to create a place where both the community and weary travelers can stop by and feel nostalgic for home. The food is made with patience by those who care and take pride in their work. This experience is partly due to the fact that the owners are locals who want to see the place they call home to prosper. “We’re not just here for the summer tourists,” said Garrett. “We’re here for the local people. We’re here because it is our livelihood and we want to be here. This has been our home for the last 24 years and we want everyone who comes here to feel welcome.” Open year round, Ye Hare ‘n Hounds is located at 64 Lakeside Drive in Bemus Point. The kitchen is open for dinners from 5 until 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday. On Sunday they open at 4. But, the Bar Bites menu keeps serving until 9 p.m.

The New Deal programs that President Franklin Roosevelt designed in response to the economic ravages of the Great Depression did not challenge segregated schools, hospitals or other forms of institutionalized racism. Nevertheless, African Americans took opportunities created by government programs in the 1930s to: • Take care of their families • Earn a living wage • Be educated persons • Hold professional positions • Possess economic security • Receive health care • Possess cash money and purchase goods • Engage in civic life • Vote • Have a publicly acknowledged history The New Deal-era photographs in “Claiming Citizenship” capture African

Before 1936, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was largely an organization for whites, especially in Southern states, despite the fact that young black men had an unemployment rate twice that of white men.

Many African American beneficiaries of New Deal programs undoubtedly passed on to their children and grandchildren their determination to possess full citizenship rights. “Claiming Citizenship” also challenges viewers to transition from the past to the present.

Audubon Encourages International Rock Flipping Day Participation

Friday, Sept. 7

Contributed Article Audubon Center and Sanctuary

Farm to Table Dinner

A nature blogger in British Columbia started International Rock Flipping Day – and the Audubon Center and Sanctuary encourages you to participate this year. The tradition began in 2007, when people flipped rocks on four continents on sites ranging from mountaintops to urban centers to the floors of shallow seas. Rock-flippers found frogs, snakes, and invertebrates of every description, as well as fossils and other interesting things.

You know who I am. And you know where I stand. For 16 years, I served you on the Buffalo Common Council, and 12 years ago I fought for your interests in Albany as State Senator. I’m a life-long democrat, a fairly unique distinction in this race. I don’t report to a political boss, I report to over 300,000 of them, and the only endorsement I seek is your vote in September.

Minimum Wage: The New York State minimum wage has risen just 10¢ over the last five years making it nearly impossible for many families and students to keep up. I favor raising New York’s minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.50 per hour.

Here is where I stand: Taxes: It’s time to stop the flood of people and businesses leaving our state because of high taxes. Unfortunately, this problem doesn’t have a silver bullet solution, but hundreds of the right, small decisions to realign the priorities of how we raise money, and how we spend it. And always remembering who you are fighting for. Hydrofracking: An unqualified NO! There are two sides to this issue – those who profit from it, and those that will have to pay its health and environmental costs. Preservation: Destroying communities and and riskng our children’s health for the sake of expanding a duty-free shop is absolutely unconscionable. Thruway Tolls: This is nothing more than a cowardly back-door tax and another way for NY to scare away more business. The Thruway Authority should be forced to implement recommendations made by the Comptroller in 2009 before we needlessly suffer under another toll increase.

Contributed Article SUNY Fredonia

SUNY Fredonia faculty and students will come together on the stage of Rosch Recital Hall to celebrate the 100th

birthday of John Cage, one of America’s most unique composers and musical thinkers. Professors Rob Deemer and Sean Doyle and Graduate Student Robin Morace

welcome all to a free concert featuring three unique styles of Cage’s work. The celebration will take place Wednesday, Sept. 5 at 8 p.m. The works represented will cover a wide range of Cage’s experiments, not only in music, but also in sound. Ms. Morace, a pianist, will perform “In a Landscape” (1948) which, contrary to most of Cage’s works from that period, does not use a “prepared piano” (where bolts, erasers, and other items are inserted between the piano strings to create a different sound world). Next, Head of Composition Rob Deemer and Theory/Composition Professor Sean Doyle will recite “45’ for a Speaker” (1954), a work in which the speaker(s) reads a blend of several lectures that Cage, who passed away in 1992, presented over the years. The “score” of the piece dictates how fast the text is to be read and how long the spaces are between readings, as well as describing how loud or soft the text is to be read. Finally, six to eight performers will execute Cage’s “Radio Music”

(1954), one of his experimentations using electronics and “chance” philosophies. “The biggest challenge we’re facing at this point,” Dr. Deemer says, “is finding eight analog radios that will allow the user to gradually dial to and from a particular station with white noise in between. So many radios today are digital that Cage’s piece may soon be impossible to hear in its original format.” Come celebrate this master thinker through his music and ideas with SUNY Fredonia’s faculty and students.

Achievement Coaches Named At JCC

Contributed Article JCC

Jamestown Community College students who are academically and culturally underprepared for college level coursework and/or a higher education environment can benefit from the services of achievement coaches. As achievement coaches, Catherine Mulcahey and Alexander Sanders will work intensively with JCC students to enhance their college experiences through mentoring and advisement strategies. Ms. Mulcahey, based on the Cattaraugus County Campus, and Sanders, who is working on the Jamestown Campus, will identify best practices from their work to develop new approaches to

advisement. The achievement coach positions are funded through a two-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education’s Title III Strengthening Institutions Program (SIP). The Title III grant is also being used to strengthen student technology competencies and enhance access to higher education in the region. Ms. Mulcahey earned a master’s degree in school counseling at St. Bonaventure University. A former nurse at Port Allegany Central School, she has been a counseling intern at JCC, Beacon Light Behavioral Health, and Port Allegany High School since 2008. Sanders, who was a counselor at JCC’s Cattaraugus County Campus during the 2011-2012 academic year, earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees at St. Bonaventure. He served as a counselor and graduate assistant in St. Bonaventure’s Teaching and Learn-

ing Center from 2009 to 2011. Achievement coaching is designed to improve retention and graduation rates among students who can benefit from enhanced guidance on social, cultural, and academic integration and to assist in students’ holistic college experiences. One tool that will assist in the integration of achievement coaching practices into faculty advising will be the implementation of the DegreeWorks online educational planning program at JCC in 2013. DegreeWorks will assist advisors and students in their work together to develop realistic academic and career goals and will increase JCC’s capability to create educational plans, collect programmatic data, and to facilitate transfer within the State University of New York.

Children’s Concerts Series Kicks Off Seventh Season Contributed Article SUNY Fredonia School of Music

The Musical Journeys Program of the Fredonia School of Music kicks off its seventh season of free concerts designed to appeal to very young children. Selected student ensembles from the Fredonia School of Music will perform half-hour Children’s Concerts on four Saturday mornings with two performances (one at 10:30 a.m. and one at 11:30 am) on Sept. 22, Nov. 3, March 2 and April 20. The first concert will be held on Saturday, Sept. 22 in Darwin R. Barker Library, 7 Day Street in Fredonia. Planned with the help of SUNY Fredonia faculty who are experts in music and education, the concerts are designed to introduce very young audiences (from infants to 6-year-olds) to musical instruments. In this child-friendly environment, performers will invite the children to sit on the floor close to the musicians; family members are encouraged to bring

blankets or carpet squares to sit on. Strollers can be parked around the edges of the seating area. “It’s wonderful to see the musical relationship between the children and the college student performers develop as the concert progresses. The musicians are sharing music they love, and the children certainly respond to that,” said Sarah Hamilton, associate professor of oboe and coorganizer. A string quartet will perform at the Sept. 22 concert. The musicians are Fredonia School of Music students Stephen Minor (Poughkeepsie), Giovanna Ruggiero (Sayville), Mary Porcaro (The Bronx), and John Chatterton (Oswego). This concert is also part of SUNY Fredonia’s Inaugural Day of Service. The day after Dr. Virginia Schaefer Horvath’s investiture as the 13th President of SUNY Fredonia, hundreds of Fredonia students, faculty and staff will partner with a variety of community organizations and

projects. “The Children’s Concerts are enjoyable, child-appropriate opportunities for very young children to interact with music and musicians. For the young audience and the performers, music becomes a playmate to join in a thrilling adventure.” said Jill Reese, assistant professor of music and co-organizer at the Fredonia School of Music. “During these events, learning and teaching among the children and the student musicians is mutual: children learn about music through moving, listening, and creating, and our student musicians learn to engage young imaginations and ignite new musical passions!” The Children’s Concert Series is part of the Musical Journeys Program, a community outreach project offered by the Fredonia School of Music.

SUNY Fredonia Residential Life Director Receives Lifetime Service Award Contributed Article SUNY Fredonia

The Northeastern Association of College and University Housing Officers (NEACUHO) honored Gary Bice, director of Residence Life at SUNY Fredonia with the Lifetime Service Award. Since 1992, this award has been given to a NEACUHO member who has built a career in a college/university setting and has made a positive contribution to students, colleagues, and the NEACUHO organization. Bice accepted the award at the closing banquet of NEACUHO’s annual conference. “I would like to extend sincere congratulations to Gary Bice Jr. on his award for Lifetime Service to NEACUHO,” said Matthew Foster, complex coordinator of Residential Service at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. “His dedication, contributions, and experience are an invaluable resource to not only the NEACUHO Executive Board or his fellow past presidents, but to all new and mid-level professionals. He truly cares about the future of the housing field and all of the incoming, current, and past professionals that he has had the honor of working with.” Bice was overwhelmed and shocked at the award. “Sharing my experiences with young professionals and mentoring them on their career journey energizes me, challenges me, and compels me to stay current with developing trends, issues, and ideas,” Bice said. “Receiving this recognition permits me to acknowledge for myself, if only for a minute, that the energy expended has been worth every moment. It will also stand as a reminder of all that has come before and all that stands ahead.”

Bice has been working professionally in residence life and housing for 25 years, 17 of which he has been a Director at three institutions. He has been at SUNY Fredonia for six years. Bice attended his first NEACUHO conference in 1996. Since then he has served as the Chair of Risk Management and Legal Issues Committee, Eastern NY District Coordinator, President-elect, President, Past President (twice), Chair of the Constitution Review Task Force, and most recently as Chair of the Strategic Plan Task Force. His contributions include presiding over the writing and ratification of the NEACUHO Constitution & Bylaws during his presidency, as well as helping the strategic plan move NEACUHO to the next level in its evolution as an association. “Gary is an incredible professional and a huge asset to the

Northeast ACUHO organization,” said Kathi Bradford, director of Westfield State University’s Alumni Relations and nominator of Bice. “His calm demeanor, diplomatic nature and strong leadership style have led us through constitutional revisions and most recently, the strategic priorities review of our organization. I cannot think of a worthier recipient.” About the Northeastern Association of College and University Housing Officers NEACUHO is an organization of housing, residential life, and student services professionals and paraprofessionals within the Northeast region dedicated to providing opportunities for colleague support, professional development, sharing of information, collaboration, communication research, and recognition of outstanding contributions to the field. www.neacuho.org

Q&A Preparation is key when flying with pets

Q:Regarding your recent column on flying with pets, will you let readers know about the risk of losing a pet in the airport? Most people don’t realize that if they take a pet as carry-on baggage, they’ll have to take the pet out of the carrier and hold the animal while the carrier itself goes through screening. I found this out the hard way with a cat who hates to be held! Everyone who takes a pet aboard a plane as carry-on luggage should have a harness and leash in place to avoid having the animal take off running through the plane or the airport. — J.P., via e-mail A: You’re absolutely right. While a small dog having a bit of a freak-out at the airport can probably be held firmly and without too much difficulty, a cat in full flight-or-fight mode can really create a dangerous scene. That’s why your suggestion is important: Make sure any pet — but especially a cat — is equipped with a harness and leash before removing the animal from the carrier at the airport screening station. I’ve flown with pets as carry-on a few times and have put larger pets in cargo a few times more — never (knock on wood) with any problems whatsoever. I’ve always found airline staff to be caring, helpful and understanding of the needs and worries of pet lovers. One myth about flying with pets that just won’t go away is the assumption that pets need to be routinely tranquilized for flights. Not only is this not true, it’s also dangerous. Tranquilizing limits the ability of their bodies to function normally, and they need all that ability to cope with the stress of flight. The default mode for pet air travel should be no tranquilizers, although there are excepThe tions, so a pre-flight talk with - the veterinarian is a must. need to be there for a pred by (You’ll flight health certificate anyway.) r. Talking to the airline for pet reservations and conditions is a must, as is checking en route for any pets traveling in cargo holds. With all precautions in place, air travel with pets should go smoothly — and it usually does. — Gina Spadafori Do you have a pet question?

Moving with a cat? Limit his options The best way to move with your cat is to confine him before and after moving day in a “safe room.” Choose a room where your cat isn’t going to be disturbed, and outfit it with food and water, a litter box, a scratching post, a bed and toys. Confining your cat not only reduces his stress, but also prevents him from slipping out, which is a danger at both the old home and the new. Your cat could easily become scared, take off and get lost, even in his familiar neighborhood, if he gets disoriented.

Choose a single room to introduce your cat to your new home, and let him choose when to come out of the carrier. Your cat should be confined in his safe room the day before packing begins, moved to his new home in a carrier, and then confined again in his new safe room until the moving is over, the furniture arranged and most of the dust settled. Trying to force a scared and stressed-out cat to do anything he doesn’t want to do is hazardous to your health. After you arrive at your new home, don’t pull your cat out of his carrier. Instead, put the carrier in his safe room, open the carrier door, and let him come out into the room when he wants to. After he’s a little calmer, you can coax him out with some fresh food or treats if you want. But don’t rush him and don’t drag him out — or you may be bitten or scratched. When you have the rest of the house settled, open the door to the safe room and let your cat explore his new home, on his terms. — Gina Spadafori

FREDONIA, N.Y. — When he takes a look at his roster, Fredonia State men's soccer head coach P.J. Gondek sees experience at every position. Gondek is faced with the prospect of starting two 25-year-old forwards, two or three seniors in the midfield, two seniors and two juniors on defense, and a sophomore goalkeeper who logged 315 minutes as a freshman. “Sometimes when you start a season,” said Gondek, beginning his 13th season, “you look out at the field and see danger areas, areas where you need to put on a BandAid.

Red Raiders Look To Keep Young Oﬀense Rolling Against Niagara Falls By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

Only a few weeks ago, the Jamestown Red Raiders were basing their lofty expectations on an offense that was anchored by senior quarterback Dennis Drew. But even with the change under center, those expectations aren’t going anywhere, not if their opener against Kenmore West taught us anything. Drew left the team a week before the season starting because of personal reasons, which left the team in the hands of junior Jacob Sisson, who recently moved from Bentonville, Ark. Sisson made the most of his opportunity Friday, throwing for 145 yards and a touchdown, likely relieving some of the stress on head coach Tom Langworthy. “Dennis was a good kid and did a lot for our program,” Langworthy said. “His not being here opened the door for Jacob and he’s taking full advantage of it right now.” Sisson led the offense along with junior running back Da’Quan Hollingsworth who exploded on to the scene like many thought he would in his debut in the backfield. Hollingsworth ran for two touchdowns and returned another punt for a touchdown. But, Langworthy says the offense can still get better. “There was good and bad with the offense,” he said. “It was nice to put the ball in the end zone, nice to see us be more productive in the second half, but we have to improve

everywhere. Overall with a pretty inexperienced team, we were happy with the win.” Inexperienced indeed. Jamestown not only lost starting quarterback Dennis Drew, but also were without senior lineman Cortland Haines, who will also miss this week’s upcoming game against Niagara Falls. The returning 1st team All-WNYer, who got banged up before the season started that required surgery. So, when all was said and done, Jamestown had just five seniors starting on offense. Thus, it was a quality win indeed for the Red Raiders considering how shorthanded they were. “It was good to see our guys hang in there through the adversity,” Langworthy said. “First game, it’s nice to win and now we’ll go from there.” That starts with Niagara Falls on Saturday to face the 0-1 Wolverines who lost to AA South opponent Lancaster 16-10 last weekend. They’re led by senior quarterback Rickey Bailey, who Langworthy is well familiar with after last year’s game in Jamestown. The Red Raiders won that contest 28-7, but expect things to be a little more difficult on the road. “They’re a real good team,” Langworthy said. “They’re really quick. They can beat you on any play with that speed. It can be hard to defend.” As for Bailey, it might be one of the toughest quarterbacks Jamestown will have to prepare against all year long. “He can beat with you his feet and his arm,” Langworthy said.

INSIDE THIS WEEK

As for the rest of Class AA, the South Division rolled as usual. The North Division went a combined 0-5 against non-league play while the South Division went 4-0. Orchard Park and Clarence scored impressive wins while West Seneca West won their first league game since 2007 when they beat Frontier in their opener. “Another year of murderer’s row in AA South,” Langworthy said. “You always take the first week with a grain of salt, but West Seneca West had a huge win over Frontier. Three backs over 100 yards in a dominating win.

Every team is going to be tough.” Elsewhere around the county: Game of the night on Friday might be over at Chautauqua Lake (7 p.m., Friday), who hosts Portville. Two teams that weren’t expected to do a whole lot in Class D are 1-0 and even my math skills tell me the winner will be in pretty good shape heading in to Week 3. It’s also one of just three matchups of undefeated teams including a county member. On the flipside of that, Randolph and Silver Creek (7 p.m., Friday at Randolph) are each 0-1 and face the exact opposite dilemma. Hard to believe one of those power teams will be winless after two weeks. The Cardinals lost to Frewsburg on the road and now get Zeddie Williams and the Black Knights. Silver Creek’s opening two games were arguably the toughest in WNY with defending class D champ Maple Grove before the road game with Randolph. In Class C, Fredonia is at AlleganyLimestone (Friday, 7:30 p.m. at A-L) in a pretty interesting nonleague battle. Both teams are 1-0 and the Gators are on the rise in 2012 after a disappointing season last year. They crushed Westfield in their season opener. They’re also the only team that will see both Fredonia and Southwestern this season. Big game for Clymer who takes on Ellicottville (Saturday, 1:30 p.m. at Clymer) in a league game. The Eagles are 1-0, while Clymer is coming off a thrashing to Sherman. They’ll need that one to try to even things up in Class DD.

Ironmen Fall In Buﬀalo; Return Trip Friday By Chris Winkler Star Sports Editor

The Jamestown Ironmen began their two game, home-and-home exhibition series with the Buffalo Jr. Sabres last Saturday, with the Ironmen falling 4-3 in the Buffalo suburb of Amherst. The Jr. Sabres make the visit to Jamestown this Friday to finish off the series. It is the final exhibition game for both teams. The game will be at the Jamestown Savings Bank Ice Arena at 7 p.m. on Friday with tickets still available via the box office at the Arena. “The Jamestown Ironmen are very excited to have the opportunity to play a great organization like the Jr. Sabres,” Jamestown Ironmen head coach and general manager Dan Daikawa said before the series started. “We hope that we can build a great relationship and have many good rivalries to come.” Jamestown fell behind early 3-0 and battled back before losing 4-3. The Ironmen are in the process of preparing for the 2012 season, which will start next Wednesday, Sept. 12 in Blaine, Minn. The Ironmen will play four games in consecutive days in Minnesota before returning home after. They’ll host the Port Huron Fighting Falcons Friday, Sept. 21 and Saturday, Sept. 22 for their first home games of 2012. The Ironmen are in a new division this year, as the NAHL has realigned to four divisions after having four fewer teams in the league this year. The usual suspects, Port Huron, Kalamazoo and Michigan are back in the North Division joining Jamestown, but four new ones join the group as well. The Soo Eagles bought out the rights of the Traverse City North Stars and moved the team. The Janesville Jets and Sprinfield Jr. Blues come over from the Midwest Division and the Johnstown Tomahawks join the league after relocating from Alaska. The Avalanche finished in third place in the West Division last year.

they’re still the team to beat in Class D. Oliver Simpson ran the ball 29 times for 213 yards and the senior takes aim at an All-WNY nomination. Silver Creek had the lead at halftime 8-7, but Simpson was simply too tough to stop as the Red Dragons line wore down Silver Creek’s in the second half. Elsewhere in Class D, Frewsburg’s new-look team didn’t skip a beat as they took down Randolph 35-24 at home. The Bears offense was nearly unstoppable last year, but with so many graduating pieces, you would have had to think Frewsburg would take a step back, at least early in the season. But quarterback Nick Munella and running back Devone Adelgren thrashed the talented Randolph defense. Munella threw for 153 yards and two touchdowns and Adelgren ran for 105 yards and three touchdowns. Adelgren also booted three extra points and added a two-point conversion for his 23-point day. Chautauqua Lake stepped in to Class D with a 36-12 win over I-Prep. Adam Carpenter ran for 178 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Thunderbirds. Dunkirk battled in Rob Genco’s debut, but the Marauders lost 21-12 to defending division champ Pioneer. Zach Torain and Kevin Burns each ran for touchdowns for Dunkirk. Sherman/Ripley crushed Clymer in a pivotal Class DD game 32-0. Quarterback Andrew Graham threw for a score and ran for another to lead Sherman. Trevor Enterline, the team’s top defensive player, did some damage on offense, running for three consecutive two-point conversions. Also in Class DD, Panama took out Franklinville 40-6.

Bonnies Open Season at Little Three Invitational Contributed Article

St. Bonaventure Sports Information

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — St. Bonaventure opens the 2012-13 golf season against its closest rivals in the 58th playing of the Little Three Invitational. The Bonnies are set to face off against Canisius and Niagara in the two-round, 36-hole tournament on Wednesday. Play is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. at Harvest Hill Golf Club. This is the first time the Little Three, which officially started in 1952, will be played at Harvest Hill.

Current senior Brian McKenna fired rounds of 4-over 74 and 5-over 75 at Niagara Falls Country Club to capture medalist honors at the 2011 Little Three.

Classmate Greg Horvath finished with a two-round total of 162 as Bonaventure finished seven strokes behind Canisius. The individual Little Three medalist earns an automatic berth into the 2013 Porter Cup event, which is considered one of the premier amateur golf tournaments in the United States. Second-year coach John Powers will use a six-man lineup featuring freshman Josh Stauffer at the No. 1 position. Stauffer earned that distinction by finishing with the top score among his teammates after three rounds of preseason qualifying. McKenna will be No. 2 in the lineup, followed by sophomore Daniel Dunnigan and Horvath at Nos. 3 and 4, respectively. Redshirt freshman Darren Simons and junior Scott Brady round out the Bonnies lineup at the fifth and sixth

positions, respectively. Junior Chris Mackey and freshman Patrick Milkovich will compete as individuals. "The guys are anxious to get started with tournament play," Powers said. "We are excited to begin the season and see how we stack up against our two rivals. I am definitely anticipating an improvement on last year's performance. We are more experienced top to bottom and everyone worked very hard to improve during the summer months." McKenna finished with a team-best stroke average of 75.56 last year and was the lone Bonaventure player to compete in each of the team's 11 tournaments. Horvath (79.08 stroke average) and Brady (79.78) each played in 10 tournaments, while Dunnigan (83.10) competed in four tourneys. The Little Three will also serve as the season opener for Niagara. Canisius, meanwhile, opened its schedule this past weekend at the Turning Stone Tiger Invitational in Verona, N.Y., finishing 10th of 13 teams in the two-day event.

Questions Loom Large As Season Begins

Chris Winkler COMMENTARY

Well ready or not, it’s finally here. Count me amongst the me latter. While the preseason r) was as difficult to watch as, well, preseason football, I’m one of the few who might be clamoring for another game so the Buffalo Bills can finally get their act together. Granted, it is preseason football. But, somehow I managed to come out of the preseason with more questions about this team than I had going in. Yes just a month ago, I thought Buffalo had finally put together a roster that had enough depth to fend of the inevitable injury bug. Sure, the Bills may have caught the brunt end of it last year, but don’t even think for a second that the team’s current 53-man roster will go through the entire year unscathed. It simply doesn’t happen to anybody, not even the New England Patriots. Boy does that feel like an eternity ago. And just to throw a wrench into everything, the Bills are so unsure about the quarterback position — at least depth wise right now — that they had to keep four quarterbacks. That left the Bills with just four wide receivers, one of which is a third-round rookie that likely won’t turn into the next Calvin Johnson. You can count Brad Smith into the fold all you like, but judging from preseason, I can’t imagine head coach Chan Gailey plans on using Smith out wide more than he even does under center, which brings up an even more important question, why in the world is he on the team? The Bills were fortunate enough to keep youngsters Kamar Aiken and Marcus Easley on the practice squad, but I can’t get over how the Bills have decided on how little to use Smith at either position and yet still keep him on the roster. Sure, you only want to show so much in those preseason games, but it’s not like the Bills used Smith all that much last year and even when they did, the results were minimal at best. And lest we forget, the Bills almost spread out the offense - more than the famed Mike Leach’s Air Raid offense. l Naturally, though, this team decided to carry more fullbacks/tight ends (five) than receivers (four). Can somebody please tell me how Dorin Dickerson and Mike Caussin will be more beneficial than rickNaaman Roosevelt? But I digress. After all, Gailey th and general manager Buddy e Nix are a tad bit more knowlw edgeable than I am. But still, m for a team that loves to throw t as much as the Bills, am I the re only one concerned with the ne depth issues at arguably the he two most important fixtures of that offense, quarterback and receiver? was I suppose the good news is ete the Bills have one of the best

na-

ast nvih of

1-2 combo’s in the league at running back with Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller. Both are capable receivers out of the backfield and Spiller has lined up wide before. Plus, both can — and will — sit in the backfield together at times. But that’s literally the only area of this team that I sit here a few days before the season opens with reasonable confidence. The line? Well I have my doubts about Cordy Glenn at the left tackle spot, but somehow that’s the least of my worries right now. Ask any knowledgeable person, though, and the defense is where the biggest question marks loom. The vaunted defensive line wasn’t exactly dominant — again during preseason — and while that might not be a huge concern, the success of this team largely lies with them. You have to credit Nix for putting together this group, but they’re an injury away from being in danger mode. Mario Williams and Kyle Williams are pro bowlers when they’re healthy. But, they’ve been dinged up often over the past few years. Everyone is counting on Marcell Dareus to be a force, but he’s still just in his second year and this unit is entirely different from last year. If anyone gets hurt, it’s up to Spencer Johnson, Alex Carrington and Kyle Moore to fill in the gaps. Not terrible, no, but serviceable at best. Regardless, if they’re not the wreaking-havoc type we imagined, the defense could implode. Corners Aaron Williams, 22, and Stephon Gilmore, 21, are the youngest starting tandem in the league. I’m not sure if it says more about them, or less about veteran backups Leodis McKelvin and Terrence McGee. I like safeties George Wilson and Jairus Byrd a lot, but there’s only so much that group can do without the nine players in front of them clicking. On a sidenote, with Da’Norris Searcy and hiddengem Delano Howell backing them up, the Bills might have the best group of safeties in the league. But again, its up to what’s in front of them for them to be difference makers. Now, look it’s incredibly idiotic to throw in the towel after an 0-4 preseason. You don’t have to look far to see two teams in their division did the exact same thing and the season opener just happens to be against one of them in the New York Jets, who have as many questions surrounding them as the Bills do. But this team, in no way shape or form, resembles a playoff squad as of right now. Which makes the Jets game that much more important. I’m a big believer in momentum, both positive and negative. Come Sunday night, either the Bills or Jets will have a huge monkey off their back. The other will probably have the panic button on full alarm. For now, I’m torn between a team that will honor old Dick Jauron with a 7-9 season and the team I thought not too long ago would end the playoff drought. Guess I’ll have to wait for Sunday.

Nagle was only 5-feet-4, 140 pounds, but that didn't stop him from doing the job as a catcher and third basemen. He had a quick bat and could hit the long ball despite his size. He claimed he never struck out more than seven times in a season. Nagle had a tryout with Erie in the Mid-Atlantic League and manager Chief Bender was impressed with Nagle's ability. However, Bender thought Nagle's age and size could be a handicap because it was the time of scouting big men. Nagle was also a successful manager. He was a playermanager in 1944 for the Jamestown All- Stars who won the state semi-pro tournament and made a trip to the Wichita, Kan., nationals where the team was eliminated in two straight games by close scores. In 1947 he accompanied another team to the nationals and in 1948 Jamestown was again eligible, but didn't make the trip. Most of Nagle's managing success came with the Jamestown Steel Partition Bombers who were constant winners in local leagues. Joe Nagle was inducted into the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame in 1983.

Lakeview Wins Gowanda Softball Tournament By Mark Benton Contributing Writer

The 16th Annual Gowanda men's slow pitch softball tournament was held on Sunday, Sept. 2. Lakeview defeated the Gowanda Bandits in the final game to win the championship. Five teams were entered into the double elimination tournament. All games were played at the George Dispenza Memorial Field. The Bandits, coached by Josh

Lutz, defeated Hidi twice to reach the finals. But Lakeview's power and reliable defense was too much to overcome and the Bandts had to settle for a second place finish. The Bandits played five games, the most by any team in the tournament. Lakeview was led by Mike Weller, a correction officer at the nearby Gowanda facility. Jeff Johnston was the team's best player throughout the tournament. Lakeview won each of the three games that they played.

For the Bandits, Dillon McMahon pitched and hit very well. Justin Wallschlaeger played outstanding defense at third base while Mike McKeever had a big hit in the semi-final game. Nate Davis ran down fly balls from center field to help the Bandits reach the championship game. For Hidi, St. John Fisher College-bound baseball pitcher Aaron Benton crushed the ball all day long. His brother Carter also had a key hit against Niagara Falls and was

the youngest player at age 14 to play in the one-day event. Hidi pitcher Rob Gaylord was the oldest player at the ripe old age of 60 and was joined on the Hidi team by his son Pete. Brian Denea and Rob Fetterick were also solid contributors for the Hidi team. The 9th Annual Fall Classic will be the last tournament of the season. It will be held on Saturday, Oct. 6. Call Mark Benton at 532-4053 to secure the last spot in the tournament.

own mistakes. So, officials have always been a part of it and they've never been an excuse. So, I don't care who's out there, we've got to worry about how we're playing and we'll deal with whatever they call, whether it's old guys, new guys, middle guys. Their stuff sometimes influences the game, but you've got to overcome that.” Both sides met for three days last week, but did not reach an agreement to end the three-month lockout. The replacement officials who worked the preseason games amid much criticism will handle the Cowboys at Giants opener and the other 15 games on the weekend. “You just have to play your game. You can't even pay any attention to it now at this point,” Giants receiver Victor Cruz said Monday. “You

just have to go out there and trust that they are spending time in the meeting rooms and those referee rooms, reading the plays and getting the calls down.” The league and the NFL Referees Association, which covers more than 120 onfield officials, are at odds over salary, retirement benefits and operational issues. The NFL has said its offer includes annual pay increases that could earn an experienced official more than $200,000 annually by 2018. The NFLRA has disputed the value of the proposal, insisting it would ultimately reduce their compensation. With the stalemate, the NFL will use replacements in the regular season for the first time since the opening week of 2001, days after the terrorist attacks.

Many of those replacements came from the highest levels of college football, something that has changed drastically this year. The current replacement crews are comprised of mainly of officials from the Arena League, and the NCAA Division II and III levels. The league said it will handle the officiating assignments the same way it does in any other year, with the crew for Wednesday night's game not being announced in advance — even though there's increased interest in who works the game. “It's one of those things where you just look out there and it's like the difference between having a high school guy play in the NFL versus an NFL guy playing in the NFL,” Vikings punter Chris Kluwe said. “The speed's totally different. Those guys are trying hard, but they're just not used to the speed of the game and they're missing a lot of stuff.” But they are missing stuff for both teams. Coaches and players alike are trying not to let that enter their minds as they prepare for their openers. “I know that these guys are coming in here doing the best that they can, but it's really out of our control. It doesn't matter if we have flag football officials, we've got to go out and play the best that we can and hopefully get a few calls along the way,” Steelers defensive end Brett Keisel said.

Michigan Looks To Regroup After Alabama Thrashing

son's backup, felt the same way. “I haven't looked at every defense we play, but they have got to be the best,” he said. “I learned more in that game than I've learned in all the practices I've had since starting to play wide receiver. That's the important thing. We don't just want to forget this happened — we need to learn from this and apply the lessons to Air Force. “We can't let one team beat us twice.” The Wolverines seemed to

be taking the right attitude toward overcoming the loss, but that won't help with the physical problems. Hoke confirmed that starting cornerback Blake Countess will miss the rest of the season after tearing his ACL on a special-teams play early in the game. Countess, who will take a medical redshirt, will be replaced by Courtney Avery, according to the depth chart released Monday. Raymon Taylor is listed second, but both he and Avery struggled against the Crimson Tide.

“It's is tough to see anyone get hurt like that, and Blake is an important team player,” Hoke said. “But our expectations are always that, if someone goes down, someone else will step up. Avery and Raymon have prepared, and we expect them to do a great job.” Tight end Brandon Moore is also expected to miss Saturday's game against Air Force with a strained MCL, but left tackle Taylor Lewan is OK after leaving the Alabama game with a leg injury. Michigan will get two key players back, as both starting tailback Fitzgerald Toussaint and second-string defensive end Frank Clark have been reinstated. They had been suspended after offseason arrests. Toussaint is expected to boost a rushing game that only gained 69 yards against the Crimson Tide. “We have to do better, but a lot of that is on us,” Mealer said. “We need to step it up and open some holes for our running backs. We didn't do that on Saturday, and as the center and the leader of the offensive line, that falls on me.”

Viosergy Rosa and middle infielder Yefri Perez. The Jammers also sent Anthony Gomez and Austin Nola up to Greensboro after solid stints in Jamestown. Yeison Hernandez (.238 average, 18 errors) and Matt Juengel (.220, 13 errors struggled a bit on the left side of the diamond and might be back in Jamestown next year. 19-year-old Avery Romeo came up in the final two weeks of the season and did a solid job for the Jammers, hitting well over .300. He’ll almost assuredly be back in Jametown in 2013. Outfielders (B) — A lot to look back on and like for the Jammers in 2012 from their outfield. Top prospect Jesus Solorzano will finish the year hitting higher than .300 and entered the final day of the season with eight homers, 36 runs scored and 26 RBI. Centerfielder Juancito Martinez made the all-star team and was named the MVP of the game. He was hitting .256 with 15 steals heading in to play Wednesday. Michael Main and Cody Keefer joined the club midway through the year and had very solid season as well for Jamestown. Main likely earned a promotion while Keefer might be back in the fold next year.

Ty Dillon wins a family victory

First 20 years

Gordon marks two decades of Cup and earlier racing

eff Gordon was born in Vallejo, Calif., then moved with his family as a teenager to Pittsboro, Ind., to pursue his racing career. But it was down South where Gordon had some of the milestone events of his racing career. Most everyone who follows auto racing knows that it was at Atlanta Motor Speedway 20 years ago that Gordon made his first start in the series now known as Sprint Cup. That was in the 1992 Hooters 500, Richard Petty’s last as a driver and one that saw a dramatic end to the championship battle, as Alan Kulwicki finished second in the race but beat race winner Bill Elliott for the title because he led one more lap, and those bonus points for leading the most laps were the difference in the championship. Many also know that it was at Atlanta where Gordon got his first major NASCAR victory, earlier in 1992 in the series now known as Nationwide. He also got his firstever top-five finish in NASCAR at a small short track north of Atlanta, Lanier Raceway in Braselton, Ga., in a race for the series now known as Nationwide. Before that, he made his first start in a sprint car at a dirt track near Jacksonville, Fla., and really got going in sprint cars in the 1985 Winternationals at East Bay Raceway near Tampa. Gordon said his first sprint car start wasn’t an indication of what his racing future held. “It went terrible,” he said. Then he traveled across Florida to East Bay, another track where 15-year-old drivers like he was at that time were allowed to compete. “It was a track very capable of us getting good laps and getting my feet wet in the sprint car,” he said. “By the last night we were moving along pretty good.” And that’s impressive given the fact that

Jeff Gordon visits the Georgia Aquarium while in Atlanta for Sunday’s AdvoCare 500. (NASCAR photo) the starting fields included sprint car legends like Dave Blaney, Doug Wolfgang, Jack Hewitt, Steve Kinser and Kelly Kinser, although Gordon said he wasn’t really focusing on them at the time. “I was a long way from competing with them,” he said. By the time he joined NASCAR’s Busch Series, now known as Nationwide, he had become a much better driver. He said his first NASCAR win, at Atlanta in a Baby Ruth-sponsored Ford, wasn’t an upset by any means. “It was my second year driving for Bill Davis,” he said. “We came off a year where we ran good but were missing a little something. But we came out guns loaded in ’92. We had some new power and a new body style. “We came into Atlanta and just flew. It was an incredible day. We were fast in practice, sat on the pole.” But that race was no cakewalk, even though he led 103 of 197 laps. “We had Mark Martin, Dale Earnhardt, Bill

Elliott, a bunch of heavy hitters in that race, not to mention the Nationwide or Busch Series guys.” And Gordon had several issues to overcome, including running out of fuel at one point. “We had to come from behind to get back to the front,” he said. Gordon also has fond memories of his days running at Lanier, a 3/8-mile oval track across Ga. Highway 53 from Road Atlanta. It was at Lanier in 1991 that he got his first top-five finish in NASCAR. He started third and ran second to David Green. “We were in a pretty heated battle with David for Rookie of the Year,” Gordon said. “He got a win, and we didn’t. “He had us covered that night at Lanier.” Then in 1992, he dominated the early portions of the Lanier race, leading the first 177 laps from the pole before being derailed by a mechanical issue. “I remember that race very specifically,” he said. “We started on the pole, were very fast and were leading and had a problem with the bolt that holds on the air cleaner.” The stud that held the air cleaner to the carburetor broke off and caused Gordon’s throttle to begin sticking. He made a pit stop and his team removed the air cleaner and sent him back on the track. NASCAR officials did not approve of the stop-gap measure. “They penalized me and made me come back in and fix it,” Gordon said. Bobby Labonte wound up winning, while Gordon recovered to finish 10th. “I always liked Lanier,” Gordon said. “I raced there one time in a Midget and ran good.” Atlanta’s big track also has been good to Gordon. He’s won there five times and finished second in the most recent race.

But

For years, it was a common sight in the NASCAR garages across America to see team owner Richard Childress escorting his grandsons Austin and Ty Dillon around the tracks. Even in the heat of battles on the track and when his input was needed in practice sessions, Childress always took time to make sure his grandsons were safely down from atop a hauler and out of harm’s way before he proceeded to his duties with the race team. When the boys started racing, Childress was there, offering support, but not pushing them other than to make sure they showed class and manners when dealing with fans and other members of the racing community. On Friday at Atlanta Motor Speedway, the Dillons and Childress got to celebrate Ty’s first major NASCAR triumph. The Camping World Truck Series rookie beat veteran Kyle Busch to win the Grit Chips 200 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Childress, along with Dillon’s father, Mike, joined the race winner in his post-race press conference. Dillon and Childress were drivers themselves in the beginning before moving to behind-thescenes roles in the sport. Neither ever won a major race, something that Ty and his brother Austin now have done. Austin Dillon, now a rookie in the Nationwide Series, has one Nationwide win, and four in the truck series. Dillon said seeing his youngest son score his breakthrough victory was a special moment for him. “You want to get them out there and give them everything it takes to do it,” Dillon said. “And then when they accomplish it, it’s hard to put into words. “It’s like a kid getting up there to hit a ball on their first time at bat, you just want them to make contact … and he hit it out of the park.” Childress, who fields the vehicles driven by his grandsons as well as the Sprint Cup cars driven by Kevin Harvick, Jeff Burton and Paul Menard, said what his grandsons have become outside their cars means as much or more to him as the wins on the track. “What makes me proud of both of them is they’re both really good young men,” he said. “They came up in the sport when they were little kids running around the track. You didn’t think they were paying much attention, just playing and having fun like kids. But they were really watching – watching what Dale Earnhardt did and how he carried himself and how he had the respect of the sport. “That’s the way they are and to the fans, and I’m really proud of what they’ve accomplished.” Dillon said he liked they way his son went about getting his truck tuned for the winning run. He consulted with fellow driver Max Papis and then talked to Harvick, who has won races in all three major NASCAR divisions. Ty Dillon said Harvick’s advice was spot on. Mike Dillon was simply pleased that his son took that approach to setting up his truck. “I’m more proud of that than him winning the race,” Mike Dillon said.

David Scott Super Late Model Winner At Fun Fest

September 6, 2012 Edition – Sports Section – B

Kreutter Wins Patriot Sprint Feature And Championship At Eriez

By Glenn Slocum

Contributing Writer

BUSTI, N.Y. — Perfect weather and a tacky racetrack made for exciting racing on the first night of “Fun Fest” at Stateline Speedway. The events sponsored by Cargo Auto Parts and Roberts Trucking featured five of the seven racing divisions with the Limited Late Models and Street Stocks sitting out on the first night and the Super Challengers and Super Sportsman will be sitting out on Saturday. Time trials were held for the Super Late Models and Robbie Blair set fast time with 15.91 lap two tenths of a second faster the runner up Darrell Bossard. Blair’s average speed for the fast lap was 75.226 MPH. Doug Eck jumped the cushion and did two-barrel rolls in the second Super Late Model qualifying heat. Eck was unhurt but the flip ended his night of racing. Dave Hess Jr. passed David Scott on lap three of the $1500 to win E-Mod event and never looked back while the race for second was heavily contested between Scott, Randy Hall, Brent Rhebergen and Ron Davies with Scott taking the position. David Scott had better luck in the Super Late Model feature starting on the pole then using the top of the speedway to lead every lap. It sounded easy but strong challenges from Robbie Blair, Chris Hackett and Ron Davies gave Scott no rest. Davies tested Scott several times in heavy lap traffic and could pull alongside in the turns then would fall back on the straights. Jason Genco came close to repeating his win of last Saturday but with two laps remaining mechanical problems ended his race and setup Max Blair for his fifth win of the season. Kelly Frederes out ran 2012 Super Sportsman Champ Dan Nocero Jr. to win the Sportsman feature event. Frederes took control on lap three passing early leader Wade Watson. Chad Bender was the only 2012 Champ to win his feature. Bender led the Super Challenger from the start for his eighth win. David Scott and John Boardman were on the front row of the E-Mod feature with Brent Rhebergen and Mike McGee in row two. Scott led the first lap with Dave Hess Jr. second from his firth starting spot and Rhebergen third. Hess passed Scott and became the new leader on lap three. By lap seven Hess led Scott by 15 car lengths and was closing on the rear of the field as the race stayed green. On lap 10 the first yellow was dis-

HAMMETT, Pa. — Points championships were decided at Eriez Speedway Sunday night as the 2012 season came to an end with a gigantic show that was over before midnight on a holiday weekend! Mike Knight drove to his second points title for the Jay’s Auto Wrecking Super Late Models and Max Blair captured his first-ever Eriez Speedway championship, taking the honors in the Dan’s Rt. 8 Boardwalk Bar & Grill FASTRAK Late Models. After a disaster on the final night of 2011, Joel Watson came back stronger than ever in 2012, taking the Plyler Overhead Door E-Mod championship by a mere seventeen points over Rich Michael. Steve Kania capped off a career year, sealing his second championship in as many nights in the Conway & O’Malley Limited Late Models with his second feature win of the season. Kania drove to Victory Lane six times at Eriez. Pat McGuire repeated his 2011 Bonnell Collision Center Street Stock Championship. Wade Watson won ten of the 13 Gannon University Sportsmen features contested throughout the year. The closest point’s battle of the year was in the Kandy’s Gentleman’s Club Challengers where Kasey Hammond used six feature wins including five in a row, to catch Wes Stull on the final night and win the championship by only 14 points. The feature race action saw Dave Hess capture his fourth win of the season and get a top five points finish despite a late start to defend his 2011 title due to physical problems. Chad Wright won his first Eriez Speedway feature in an edge of the seat performance over Max Blair, the season champion. Rich Michael got his second feature win in the Plyler Overhead Door E-Mod season finale in an admirable attempt to catch champion Joel Watson. Second-generation driver Steve Kania capped off his championship year by winning the Conway & O’Malley Limited Late Model feature to cap off his season. Former Champion Chris Withers sat out part of the season but capped off his season with two wins in a row, making

played for Steve Dixon stopped in turn two. With half of the race complete Hess, Scott, Rhebergen and Randy Hall were the leaders. Ron Davies moved into the top five and was third on lap thirteen. Hess was once again way out in front as Scott, Rhebergen, Hall and Davies fought for second. With eighteen laps completed the second yellow occurred because of Shagla stopped in turn three. Hess, Scott, Davies, Hall and Rhebergen were the leaders. Hess was not tested running the final two laps unchallenged with Scott second and Davies third. David Scott was also on the pole for the Super Late Model feature with Darrell Bossard alongside. Robbie Blair was in row two with Chris Hackett. Scott won the race to turn one and using the top of speedway began putting distance between himself and the rest of the field. John Lacki, Andy Boozel, George LaBarberra, John Volpe and Jason Morell were all tangled up in the exit of turn two for the first caution with three laps in the books. Scott, Bossard, Blair, Chris Hackett and Ron Davies were the restart leaders. Blair moved up behind Scott on the restart and the pair ended lap four first and second, respectively, as the second yellow occurred this time for Chuck Parker in turn four. Scott and Blair were the class of the field after the restart. After contact with LaBarberra Volpe spun to a stop in turn two for caution number three. Blair lost second to Ron Davies on the restart then slipped to fourth as Dave Hess Jr. moved into third. With Scott up high and Davies in the middle groove and Hess waiting for a break the top three ended half the race. Davies would get under Scott but Scott would pull away coming out of the corners. On lap 21 all of the leaders were in heavy lap traffic. Davies closed with Scott again on lap 25 but could not get enough of a bite in the low groove to complete the pass. Scott never gave up the high groove winning the event just a car length ahead

of Ron Davies. Jason Genco and Bob Dorman started first and third and were one and two at the end of the first lap of the Crate Late Model feature. Mark Thrasher was third followed by Max Blair and Matt Cobb. Blair was third by the end of lap six and closing with the second place Dorman. Blair caught Dorman just the caution flew for Skip Jackson in turn four. Blair beat Dorman into turn one to right up behind Genco. After a couple attempt so pass Genco Blair settled into second. Jackson had more trouble and cautioned out of the event on lap 13. The first restart was waived off and the second accepted by Starter Mark Matthews. Ryan Scott and Dorman made contact spinning Dorman around on the front stretch while Brian Haggerty and AJ MacQuarrie were spinning in turn four. Genco continued to lead after the restart. As the two to go signal was given Genco slowed with obvious mechanical problems ending his race allowing Blair to assume the lead. Ryan Scott was second with Thrasher third and Cobb fourth. As the white was about to fall MacQuarrie spun between turns one. Blair easily controlled the restart for the win with Scott several car lengths back in second. Wade Watson started on the pole and was the leader of the Super Sportsman feature when the yellow flew for Tom Kosinski. On the restart Allen Haskins and Andy Melice spun for caution two. Watson led lap two then gave way to Kelly Frederes on lap three. Frederes had caught the back of the field on five then one lap later Melice was once more stopped on the track. Frederes, Tim Card, 2012 Sportsman Champ Dan Nocero Jr., Don McGuire and Jake Eller were the leaders. At the half way point Frederes led Card by ten car lengths. With two laps remaining Eller could not avoid a spun Haskins setting up a two-lap dash for the win. Nocero was unable to keep up with Frederes giving Frederes his second win in the last Sportsman event of the season.

his total three for the season. Wade Watson finished his season exactly like he started it… by winning the Gannon University Sportsmen feature. Kasey Hammond put together a string of five feature wins at the mid-point of the season then capped off the year by winning the season-ender and winning the championship as well. The Patriot Sprint Tour made its only appearance of the 2012 season with 21 cars starting the 25-lap feature. Tim Kelly and Jamie Collard led the field to the green with Kelly taking the lead and Scott Kreutter taking second from his fourth place starting berth on turn two of lap one, then taking the lead before the end of lap one with Kelly dropping to third behind Collard on lap two. By lap six, after a caution at lap 1, Kreutter had caught lapped traffic but caution for a spin again slowed the pack. At the restart, point’s leader Bryan Howland came to a halt at the pit entrance and was pushed to the pits with terminal damage. At halfway Kreutter was again in lapped traffic with Collard still second and defending champion Jared Zimbardi third. Jamie Bodo took over third just past halfway. Kreutter went on to the win, and the championship, over Collard, Bodo, Kelly, and Zimbardi. Skip Moore and Shawn Fleeger were on the front row for the 35-lap BRP Modified feature with Moore grabbing the lead from the start and Chris Haines coming to second. Fourteen laps of green flag racing ensued before the first caution slowed the event when Fleeger spun in turn three after contact with another car. Jeremiah Shingledecker came to third at halfway and began closing the gap on Haines but Moore was opening his lead. Shingledecker caught Haines with three laps remaining and was alongside with two to go as the yellow flag again flew when Rick Richner slowed on the back straight. BRP Modified Tour rules call for double-file restarts throughout the event so Moore and Haines were side by side but Haines faltered, allowing Shingledecker to get

by for the runner-up finish. Moore took the win over Shingledecker, Haines, Rex King Jr., and Brian Weaver. Chris Hackett led from the outside pole in the Jay’s Auto Wrecking Super Late Model feature with Rob Blair getting by Garrett Krummert for second at lap two. At three laps in it was Dave Hess to second and he was closing on Hackett, pulling alongside on lap seven, just as Krummert came to a stop in turn four, bringing out yellow. After green, Hess immediately came by Hackett and opened a lead, only to have it disappear on lap ten when Dave Lyon lost power after trailing smoke for several laps. By this time, points champion Mike Knight was up to third with the title mathematically locked up coming into the event. Knight came to second at the green but Hess was in a class by himself and out-powering the field. Chuck Parker spun coming out of turn four at lap 18 for the final caution.

Maroons at 5 p.m. Friday and nationally ranked Lynchburg at 5 p.m. Saturday to kick off the 2012 season. Eight starters, including Condidorio, return from the 2011 team that tied a school record for wins in a season with a 12-8-0 mark. The Blue Devils were 6-3 in the SUNYAC and 8-2 at home, including a 2-1 victory over Brockport in the first round of the conference tournament. The season ended with a 1-0 loss at New Paltz in only Fredonia State's third SUNYAC semifinal appearance. Brown and junior midfielder Katie Kleine were 2011 Third and Second Team All SUNYAC selections, respectively. Condidorio was First Team All SUNYAC and First Team All-East Region. Case is hoping for big things offensively from Kleine to help take some of the pressure off Condidorio. “Katie has had a great two

years for us,” he said. “Yet for us to succeed, she has to break out in either or the goals and assists category, or both.” Brown and junior Shannon Letina, a part-time starter last season, are being counted on to maintain solid defense in front of senior goalkeeper Meaghan Meszaros, otherwise the graduation loss of four-year center back Lyz Dembrow will be keenly felt. Dembrow was selected Second Team All SUNYAC last fall. “Our defense, as a whole, is strong,” said Case, who can point the stats accumulated by Meszaros to make his point. She was among the NCAA Division III leaders last year in goals-against average (0.78) and save percentage (.869) while posting a 9-6-0 record with seven shutouts. Her 14 career shutouts rank third on the Fredonia State career list. The other returning starters

are junior forwards Catie Hale and Kristi Putzig, and junior midfielders Mary Bruton and Maria Green. In addition, Case has been particularly impressed with the preseason play of two freshmen, forward Alicia Jones and defender Sarah Lindovski. Both newcomers have a chance to start. The Blue Devils will receive an early test of their mettle Friday and Saturday. Roanoke and Lynchburg both qualified for the NCAA tournament in 2011, and Lynchburg is ranked No. 15 in the NCSAA D-III coaches poll. Also on the slate are William Smith, the current No. 2 team in the nation, as well as SUNYAC opponents Cortland (No. 22) and New Paltz (also receiving votes). “Five of our first six games,” Case said, “are against teams that traditionally have gone to the nationally tournament the Continued on pg 10

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Fredonia State dropped to 0-2 with a 6-0 men's soccer loss to Rochester at the Flower City Classic. The Blue Devils were outshot 17-5 as junior forward Craig Raines (Gloucester, Va.) had three shots and senior midfielder Ryan Smith (Fairport) two shots. Sophomore goalkeeper A.J. Grecco (Buffalo) made five saves. Friday, they were unable to counter St. John Fisher's quick

start in the first round of the Flower City Classic hosted by the University of Rochester. Fisher broke on top with two goals in an eight-minute span midway through the first half and hung on for a 2-0 victory in the season-opening match for both teams. The Blue Devils were limited to five shots, only two on goal, compared to eight shots by Fisher. Fredonia State goalkeeper A.J. Grecco (Buffalo) was credited with two saves. The Blue Devils open the home portion of their season Tuesday when they face Geneva starting at 7 p.m. at University Stadium.

Bucknell struck first with a goal late in the first half off the foot of Liz Dwornik and passed a diving Christina Sarokon. The freshman keeper got her hands on the shot — taken from just outside the top of the box — but the ball snuck inside the left side of the net. Sarokon, who had started the past four games for the Brown and White, was replaced at the half by Katie Kerkman. However, the Bison added to their lead just minutes into the second half when Court-

ney Nelson finished a cross into an open left side of the net. Bucknell's final goal of the game came in the 76th minute when Dwornik intercepted a deflected clear by the SBU defense and walked in alone on Kerkman, beating the senior to her left. Bonaventure appeared to take a 1-0 lead early in the contest off a corner kick, but the goal was disallowed after the line judge ruled the ball had crossed over the end line and came back into the playing field.

Sophomore Caitlin MacConnell led the Bonaventure offensive efforts by attempting four shots in just 38 minutes of action. Junior Alyssa Lapp fired three shots (one on net), and freshman Abby Maiello and sophomore Brittany Charles each attempted three shots and one on frame as well. The Bonnies return to action on Friday when they travel to Long Island to face Hofstra at 7 p.m. GAME NOTES: Bonaventure's shots were split evenly with 10 coming in the first half and 10 in the second half … SBU's season-high shot total is 23 against Buffalo on Aug. 26 … Bucknell goalkeeper Sandita McDermott made six saves, five of which came in the second half … the relatively clean contest produced just 10 fouls – six for SBU and four for Bucknell – including just one foul on each team in the second 45 minutes … Sarokon was credited with the loss … the match concludes a four-game homestand for the Bonnies.

New York Jets Sept. 9. Among the notable other players released were: receivers Derek Hagan and Marcus Easley and linebackers Scott McKillop and Tank Carder, a rookie fifth-round draft pick. Hagan got off to a solid start in training camp, while Easley was attempting to make the team after missing the past two seasons with injuries since the Bills selected him in the fourth round of the 2010 draft. Their departures, along with Naaman Roosevelt, Ruvell Martin and Kamar Aiken, leave the Bills with only five receivers, including Smith. Edwards, an eight-year veteran, proved to be expendable in part because of his hefty contract and also because he no longer fits in the Bills defensive scheme after the team made the switch to a 4-3 alignment. After spending the past two seasons in Buffalo starting at defensive end, he was relegated to a backup role at tackle be-

hind Marcell Dareus and Kyle Williams. Edwards had two years left on the $18 million contract, and was scheduled to make a $4.1 million base salary this season. Edwards was credited with 109 tackles and 3 1/2 sacks in 27 games, including 24 starts with the Bills. He spent his first six seasons in Baltimore. Bills players expressed surprise and disappointment in posting notes on their Twitter accounts after learning of Edwards' being released. “Dwan was a beast this year in camp,” center Eric Wood wrote. “I wish him well. Great teammate and a great guy.” Linebacker Nick Barnett wrote that he was “Absolutely disappointed,” and added, “Can not have enough guys on your team like him!!” Among the notables to make the roster were kicker John Potter, a rookie seventhround pick, who will handle kickoffs because of his strong

“We got enough to play,” Gailey said about his thin group of receivers. “If you got a couple, you got enough to play.” Three of the receivers cut Friday — Derek Hagan, Ruvell Martin, and Naaman Roosevelt — each caught at least seven passes last season, while 2010 fourth-round pick Marcus Easley and Kamar Aiken were also let go. Easley was attempting to rebound after missing the past two seasons due to injury, and seemed to solidify his place on the roster with an electrifying 100-yard kickoff return

for a touchdown in Buffalo's final preseason game against Detroit. But Easley fell victim to a numbers game that ultimately found Buffalo keeping kickoff specialist John Potter as well as incumbent kicker Rian Lindell. Easley will likely be placed on the team's practice squad. The Bills include Brad Smith on their list of receivers, but the 7-year veteran can also play quarterback and return punts. But Smith injured his groin against the Lions, and Gailey isn't sure of Smith's status.

leg. Veteran Rian Lindell will be limited to field goals and extra points. Dorin Dickerson earned a spot at halfback. He signed with Buffalo in May after spending the past two seasons with New England, Pittsburgh and Houston. Undrafted rookie safety Delano Howell also made the team. Carder was among the cuts despite coming off an accomplished college career at TCU. He was a two-time Mountain West Conference defensive player of the year. And he also earned defensive MVP honors in the 2011 Rose Bowl after helping secure TCU's 21-19 win over Wisconsin by breaking up a potential game-tying two-point conversion with 2 minutes left. Carder suggested he had been cut by posting a note on his Twitter account, saying he appreciated everything the Bills had done for him thus far. “Wasn't the right fit,” he added. “Best of luck to the team and the organization.” McKillop, selected in the 2009 fifth round by San Francisco, signed with Buffalo in January. McKillop missed the 2010 season with a knee injury, and was out of football last year after being cut by the 49ers. The Bills also cut running backs Johnny White and Zach Brown; offensive linemen David Snow, Mark Asper and Keith Williams; defensive linemen Robert Eddins, Kellen Heard and Jarron Gilbert; defensive backs Nick Saenz and Isaiah Green and punter Shawn Powell.

Because of that uncertainty, the Bills decided to keep three quarterbacks - Fitzpatrick, Tarvaris Jackson, and Tyler Thigpen. Jackson was obtained from Seattle last week, but he may not be ready to back-up Fitzpatrick against the Jets. “The injury to Brad, Tarvaris not being here but a short amount of time, all of that played into it,” Gailey said. “You deal with what you are having to make a decision with at that time. A month from now it may be different, but that's where we are right now and that's where we need to be. I have a hard time going into a game without a third guy that can take a snap, and we didn't know if we'd have Brad this week or not.” Buffalo has also been dealt a blow with rookie cornerback Ron Brooks' foot injury that required surgery earlier in the week. That leaves the Bills with five cornerbacks, including Terrence McGee, who is recovering from offseason knee injury. Gailey, however, said McGee should be ready to practice on Monday.

Ryan Says Jets' Wildcat Will Be Unveiled Vs. Bills

New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan says the Jets will unveil a wildcat offense behind the newly acquired Tim Tebow. The Jets offense may have been one of the few teams in the league that struggled more than the Bills in the preseason. (AP Photo)

By Dennis Waszak Jr. Associated Press

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Get ready for Tim Tebow and the wildcat. After months of intrigue surrounding what exactly Tebow's role will be in the New York Jets' offense, the backup quarterback will see some action in the tricky formation in the regular-season opener against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. “I think if we don't, everybody's going to be like, 'Wait a second. You guys have been saying things about this wildcat and we haven't even seen one snap of it,”' Ryan said with a laugh. “But, sure we're going to run some wildcat, there's no doubt.” The Jets did not use the wildcat at all in the preseason, when New York failed to score a touchdown in the first three games with starter Mark Sanchez and Tebow, the backup. Third-string quarterback Greg McElroy finally led the Jets into the end zone in the preseason finale at Philadelphia last Thursday night. The fact the Jets became the first team since the 1977 Atlanta Falcons to go three preseason games without a TD had many fans and media wondering whether New York's offense was simply inept or just holding back. They appeared to treat the plan for Tebow and the wildcat like a government secret at times, but Ryan and offensive coordinator Tony Sparano also reasoned that there was no need to give opponents any advance film to look.

“I guess we never appeased whoever by not putting (Tebow) out there,” Ryan said. “If that added to it, that wasn't our intent. Our intent was there's no sense showing it right now in the preseason, just like I'm sure a lot of teams are saving specific things for their openers. We're not different than a lot of teams doing that.” But the Jets are unlike any other NFL team because of the fact that they have Tebow on their roster, and their plans for him have been kept mostly under wraps. “I understand where it has come from,” Ryan said. “Tim, forget just being a popular football player. He's a popular person. I can understand that there's a lot of interest there, but it's kind of funny, really. We're just trying to field a good football team and in any way possible.” Tebow is expected to see anywhere from a handful of plays to maybe 20-25 while in the wildcat-style formation depending on the opponent. Ryan added that Buffalo will be well-prepared to defend against the scheme because the Bills have quarterbackturned-wide receiver Brad Smith, who ran the Jets' wildcat before leaving before last season. Bills quarterbacks coach David Lee also helped Sparano, then the Dolphins coach, implement it in Miami a few years ago. “This team will probably be as prepared to face the wildcat as any team we'll face,” Ryan said. “This team's going to be prepared. We'll see who outexecutes the other.”

Walleye Fishing Good, But Perch Still Great By Steve Peacock Star Outdoors Writer

The fishing was still good last weekend, if you could find time when the lake was calm. Saturday morning the lake was flat but I was busy and unable to get out. I hear that one of the boats that we cooperate with had

a good day. A cold front is supposed to come through before I will get back out so that may change things up a bit for next time. While the walleye fishing has remained good, the perch fishing has been improving and is excellent. The guys I talked to fish out of Sturgeon Point, where they have been

catching their limit. One of the days they went out they could not get minnows and their catch was significantly reduced. So if you are going perch fishing get your bait early so you don’t miss out. I didn’t hear about any bait stores running out in Chautauqua County but I wouldn’t chance it. Most of my articles are mainly about walleye and

perch fishing but there is a lot more fishing opportunities in our area. There are several smaller lakes in our area including Chautauqua Lake. On Monday I went kayaking on the Conawango Creek near Frewsburg. As always, I brought along my portable fish finder and it showed that there is no shortage of fish in that creek. I didn’t spend much time fish-

ing because I was with a group who were not there to fish. What I saw that day makes me want to go back there just to fish. I probably won’t have time to do it this season since it is already September. The small game hunting seasons are already starting to open and bow season opens in less than a month.

affirmed what he learned last year. As a result, junior Alison Phillips is back as the No. 1 seed. “Ali's strengths,” Calarco said, “is her all-around tennis knowledge, plus she plays with a lot of heart. She has tennis sense but it's more than that. She's a very good role model for the rest of the team.”

She will be followed by junior Jess Johnston at No. 2, sophomore Sara DiFulvio at No. 3, junior Molly Zanetti at No. 4, and sophomore Stephanie Thompson at No. 5. The other returning potential starter is Lesley Cerniglia, plus two newcomers — junior Miller Barmasse and freshman Julie

Coleman. “Cerniglia is the only senior among the starters, so it's a young squad,” Calarco said. “Yet the nucleus of the team is Ali, Jess, Sara, and Molly. They're the ones who'll carry the team.” Phillips and Zanetti are the co-captains.

The Nationals went 81-81 in their first season in D.C., lost a combined 205 games in 2008-09, and finished 80-81 in 2011. “We've come a long way. You can't start an organization from the ground up and expect that to happen real quickly,” Zimmerman said. “Now, we're going to be set not just for this year, but for a lot of years to come. We have a long ways to go. It can get a

lot better. You have to learn how to win and you have to learn how to do a lot of things right at this level to win.” Their 82nd win put them 30 games over .500 on Monday. Detwiler recited the team's upcoming schedule, which includes three games against the second-place Braves in Atlanta Sept. 14-16. “We know if we win the games there's no way we're

out of it,” Detwiler said. NOTES: Johnson, GM Mike Rizzo and pitching coach Steve McCatty met with RHP Stephen Strasburg to explain the reasons the team is ending his season after two more starts. “I'm not sure any of us understand, but it's the right thing to do,” Johnson said. ... Washington OF Michael Morse left the game in the fourth inning with a sore right thumb. “I knew their pitcher was going

to pound him in. He didn't want to come out,” Johnson said. Johnson expects him to play on Tuesday. ... Nationals LHP Sean Burnett will probably miss a few days with a sore right elbow, Johnson said. ... Washington purchased the contracts of RHP Christian Garcia and LHP Zach Duke from Triple-A Syracuse. RHP Henry Rodriguez was moved to the 60-day disabled list.

and fell dangerously into the crease, whereupon freshman defender Sarah Lindovski cleared it away just before a Roaonke got there. The game temperature at kickoff in the range of 100 degrees, yet the Blue Devils wrested the early momentum. Roanoke had the better of it later in the first half and misfired on two good scoring chances. Fredonia State was also the

aggressor early in the second half, only to have momentum swing back toward Roanoke prior to Condidorio's goal. Roanoke then kept the pressure on, even after Meszaros's big save, but the last good chance and come and gone. Saturday, their game vs. No. 15 Lynchburg was declared a “no contest” when officials ruled the game would not be restarted after a lengthy light-

ning delay. The game was called in the 57th minute with Lynchburg in the lead. An NCAA soccer game is not official until it reaches the 70th minute. The Blue Devils return to action Tuesday night at Westminster (Pa.). They open the home portion of their schedule next Friday on the first day of the Blue Devil Clarion Classic.

service aces, one solo block, and one block assist. Hokaj led the Blue Devils with nine digs and freshman middle blocker Jessica DeChristopher added two block assists.

The Blue Devils have two more matches on Saturday. Their opponents will be determined at the end of play Friday night.

NATIONALS SEASON continued from pg 4 ing out Josh Vitters for his 30th save in 33 opportunities. Samardzija (8-13) allowed seven hits in seven innings. He walked one and struck out eight. “You love playing against these kind of teams. When you're a team in our situation, anytime you can play these first or second-place teams where they're still playing for something, it means a lot, and they're fun games,” Samardzija said.

Chautauqua Lake Yellow perch catches are good around the lake on minnows and worms fished near the bottom. Expect a few throwbacks for every keeper. Target areas off weed edges in 10-20 feet of water. Black bass are another top option. Largemouth bass are common along weed edges and in open pockets within the weeds. For smallmouth bass, move a little deeper off the weedline and fish minnows, crayfish or plas-

tics near the bottom. There has been some decent muskellunge action around the north basin in 10-15 feet of water on stickbaits and jerkbaits. Upper Niagara River Some decent smallmouth bass and walleye have shown near the head of the river for boaters. Boaters also target bass around Strawberry, Motor and Grand Islands. Drifting outside weed edges with a 3-way rig and crayfish or leeches is the way to go. Anglers can target muskellunge around Strawberry Island, Thompson's Hole (Canadian side) and near the Huntley Plant. Drifting with 8-10 inch tube jigs works best. Live bait is best for a mixed bag of bass and panfish from shore sites along Buffalo and the Tonawandas. Inland Trout Streams The low and clear trend continues on the area's trout streams. Fortunately, cool nights have helped keep water temperatures in check. Fish-

Blue Devils Open With 1-0 Win ROANOKE, Va. — Senior forward Reilly Condidorio

scored in the 85th minute and senior goaalkeeper Meaghan Meszaros withstood Roanoke's final counter in Fredonia State's 1-0 season-opening win Friday. Condidorio was the target of a pass into the box by sophomore midfielder Maggie Horan. The ball appeared to deflect off the back of a Roanoke player and Condidorio pounced on the loose ball. She

took one touch around the defender and ripped a shot into the top of the net with 5:57 remaining. Meszaros was called on almost immediately to make the goal stand and came through with her best save of the night. With a shot arcing in above and behind her, she dove backward to deflect the ball with her hand. The ball glanced off the cross bar

TEEING OFF

Cracking the code of golf ball flight

It is my belief that there are rules for everything in nature. Not made-up rules imposed by an outsider, but internal rules derived from the structure of the system itself. It used to be thought that birds flying in formation had a leader who took the point. Now science tells us that each bird responds not to a leader but to a set of “flying rules” — a code. Free economic markets, political unions such as the United States, and physical unions, as when the club meets the ball, are examples of systems that have an intrinsic code, and if you follow the code, you prosper. The ball-flight code for golf, framed as it is in geometry and physics, is actually different than was thought a few years ago. No basic laws have changed, but the code that sets the ball in motion with its specific properties (spin, speed and trajectory) has been identified. Below are three aspects of this newly discovered code, as revealed by the radar tracking device TrackMan: 1. The clubface and the clubhead path are not equal partners at impact. The clubface contributes 85 percent of the initial direction, while the path of your swing is 15 percent. The code tells you that if you fix your clubface, most of your problem will be solved. 2. Many golfers think they need one swing for all clubs. The code says no, you need two swings. To hit the ball straight, you need one swing when the ball is on the ground (hit down on the ball, using a body alignment pointing out-to-in) and another swing when the ball is teed high for your driver (hit up on the ball, using a body alignment that points in-to-out). 3. The impact point on the clubface is related to maximizing distance because offcentered hits deliver a glancing blow that transfers less energy to the ball. But when contact is off-center, the code also dictates that sidespin is created, and thus the ball curves. The new code says this is true for both irons and driver. For example, TrackMan shows that a 3.6 mm off-center impact has the same sidespin effect as 1 degree of difference between club path and face angle for an iron, and it is this difference that causes the curve. For a driver shot, being 3.6 mm off-center at impact corresponds to 1.5 degrees of difference between club path and face. Your miss is bigger with the driver than the iron because there is more sidespin. If you’re having curve problems (and who doesn’t?), use face tape or spray to detect off-center hits and fix the problem before you do anything else. Insider Takeaway: Fix the face first, use two swings and correct any off-center contact.

Balance from the ground up One important job your brain has is monitoring your balance. At the first sign that you’re falling, it will take corrective action to keep you upright. This saves your body, but ruins your golf swing. To stay down and through the ball, it helps to understand why you come up and out of the shot. Four basic strategies are employed by the balance system, depending on the severity of the balance disruption, and they’re activated from the ground up, i.e., feet first. Ankle Strategy: The Sway At address, your body is an inverted triangle balanced on ankles that serve as pivot points where even a small force, such as a poor distribution of weight, prompts a swaying motion to re-establish balance. In golf, you want to eliminate the body sway in favor of rotation. Hip Strategy: The Hinge If the imbalance is not corrected at the ankle level, the hips are called into play. When the base of support is fixed, as in the golf swing, the upper body uses the hips to regain balance by hinging or bending the body forward and back. In golf, fat and thin shots are caused by just such a response: Your spine hinges toward (fat shot) or away from the ground (thin shot), depending on the initial imbalance cue. Arms Strategy: The Flail The next level of rebalance is the arms, which flail about in any direction that will stabilize your center of

BIRDIES AND BOGEYS

Belgian Bomber Here’s a player to put on your watch list: Nicolas Colsaerts. He’s 29 and has been on tour since 2000, so he’s had experience, but almost no one is aware of how really well he can play. In May 2012, he won his biggest career title at the Volvo World Match Play Championship. And he has the magic twosome in spades — he bombs it and he can putt!

mass. When ABOUT THE WRITER the arms Dr. T.J. thrust outTomasi is a teaching ward during professional the downin Port St. Lucie, Fla. swing, you’ll Visit his hit the ball website at on the heel tjtomasi.com. of the club, and you’ll hit it off the toe when you pull your arms back toward your body. Step Strategy When the only way to stay upright is to reposition the support base, you take a step in order to recover equilibrium. It’s called walking — losing your balance, then regaining it by stepping. If your swing is so far off that you can’t keep your feet in place and hold your finish for a count of three, you must fix your balance problems before anything else. Once your rebalance system is triggered, you have no choice but to obey, which is why your teacher can say “don’t lift your head” or “don’t dip down,” but you can’t stop doing it. Thus, the best way to deal with your balance recovery system is to be sure you don’t trigger it. It all starts with your weight distribution at setup. Your weight should be distributed all the way from the balls of the feet backward to the heels. To make sure you distribute your weight correctly, simply curl your toes at address without rocking back on your heels.

Ollie’s choice

You can repair ball marks under the rules, but you can’t repair spike marks. So back in 2003 during the Seve Trophy matches (a tournament between teams from Great Britain – Ireland and Continental Europe), when Jose Maria Olazabal fixed spike marks, Padraig Harrington called him on it. After a contentious conversation, Olazabal conceded the hole and Great Britain and Ireland won the matches. Spike marks vs. ball marks are always a difficult call, but one thing is for certain: Olazabal was insulted that his integrity had been compromised. Now Olazabal is Europe’s captain at the Ryder Cup, and the only way Harrington can make the team is as a captain’s choice. He’s a fixture on the European side, having played in four of the last six Ryder Cups, and to make the situation even more of a dilemma, Harrington has had a mediocre two years. So he’s not a clear-cut choice unless Harrington had won the Barclays, which he did not. ASK THE PRO

The way things were for Tiger

A few weeks ago, I wrote a piece on what was wrong with Tiger Woods’ golf swing and received an email from a savvy golfer whose son had played golf with Tiger years ago, before Tiger was a pro. He comments: “Enjoy reading your articles in our local paper. As to your Tiger analysis, you missed the fact that he needs to play the way he did when he played junior golf with my son. Tiger just walked up, looked once at a shot, made a decision and hit it. He was better when he played a fade and just hit it, and didn’t think so damn much.” — J.A., Burbank, Calif. The three key balance joints — ankle, knee and hip — are directly aligned and are at their best when they are stacked.

The center of mass, indicated by the arrow, places me in a perfect static balance setup, laying the groundwork for a swing in dynamic balance.

Stats leaders set the pace

How to choose best ball for you

All golfers, male or female, should keep their stats so they can develop an accurate strength and weakness profile. Most men would do well to match not only the LPGA stats here, but also these women’s swings. (These stats are through Aug. 19.)

What ball should you play? It’s an important question since the ball is the only part of your equipment you use on every shot. You should fit the ball from the green back to the tee. By this I mean that spin and feel on the short shots become even more important as you get closer to the hole. Remember that “three of them and one of those” is still a four, and 18 fours total 72. Two stats play a key role in helping you choose the right ball: 1. Greens in regulation: The more greens you miss, the more important pitching and chipping become. If you’re using a hard-covered ball to get 5 more yards off the tee but you miss 10 greens, it’s going to be tough applying the right

Stat Scoring Average Greens in Regulation Driving Distance

On the upside: Maude (the Masher) Leblanc averages 282 yards vs. the PGA average of 288.6 yards, only a 6-yard difference. On the downside: The sand save percentage of 41.9 is surprisingly low for tour pros who are close to the flag.

amount of run on your short shots, and that spells bogey, or worse. 2. Swing speed: If you have a very slow swing, you need a ball that spins a lot to get it up in the air. If your swing speed is normal, then a ball that spins less is probably the way to go. If you have a high-speed swing, then you can take advantage of a multilayered ball. These balls have outer shells that add spin to the low-speed irons, and inner cores that take the spin off the ball with the driver. For a professional fit, try GolfBallSelector.com. It costs 25 bucks, but could be worth it. Most of the ball companies have lousy ball-fitting procedures, and they end up recommending their own ball. This site has no dog in the hunt.

SCIENCE SAYS

Grip pressure should remain steady In the past, the common advice was to maintain a constant, evenly distributed grip pressure throughout the swing. But research done by Jeffrey Broker of the University of Colorado and Melvin Raney from the University of California, Davis, shows that this advice is not in line with what actually happens. When a good golfer swings, not only does the grip pressure change, but at impact, much more pressure is exerted by the lead hand (left for right-handers), identifying it as the control hand. Bad golfers use too much right hand.

Other interesting findings: • Amateur golfers often apply greater force to the club handle at address and during takeaway, much more than do low-handicap golfers. • Whatever your grip pressure is, it’s like a fingerprint in that it’s part of your swing. • And it’s the same, no matter what club you use. Insider Takeaway: Stop trying to make the club “go somewhere.” This will only lead to squeezing it to death. Your hands have about 200,000 years of training at keeping tools under control, so swing to the target and leave nature to do its control thing.
